text: WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE? After the outburst below, why hasn't Rush Limbaugh been wrapped in a straightjacket and carried off to a small padded cell?Last week Limbaugh ranted about the Haitian tragedy on his show, suggesting that we should not come to the aid of the Haitian people, since "this will play right into Obama's hands, humanitarian, compassionate. They'll [the Obama administration] use this to burnish their, shall we say, credibility with the black community, in both the light skinned and dark skinned black community in this country. It's made to order for him [Obama]."Is this a human being saying these things or a cancer on the body of humanity which must be excised for humanity to remain whole? What hatred won't Limbaugh spout in his quest for high ratings and a fat pocket book.How do we get this Stalinesque, halluciniatory excuse for a human being silenced? We, the people can accomplish this, but we must make our voices heard. TAKE HATE OFF THE AIRWAVES. Our world is too small, our lives are all intertwiined and too short to make room for someone as ugly in spirit as a Rush Limbaugh. The only reason the son of a bitch did not have a heart attack is because one must have a heart and he has only bile.Get angry, write his station and get rid of him.

For the rest of us, it's a can't-do, won't-do, don't-even-want-to-do list.15. Peninsula Suite, The Peninsula, Hong KongUS$10,000 per nightA stay at Hong Kong's grande dame begins at the airport, where you're picked up by a chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce, part of The Pen's signature fleet.Or, if you're feeling really flash (and flush), you can arrive by helicopter -- the hotel has two rooftop helipads for their super-rich guests.At more than 371 square meters, The Peninsula suite, on the 26th floor, provides the most stunning vistas over Victoria Harbour, along with a 24-hour butler and chauffeur service, mini-gym and fully equipped kitchen.+852 2920 2888; www.peninsula.com14.

London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay making its way through Great Yarmouth. Torchbearer: Richard Brabben Picture: James Bass
Kate Scotter
Saturday, December 29, 2012
In a year which has seen the Olympic and Paralympic Games held in the UK, the nation celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and a man become the first skydiver to break the sound barrier and make the highest jump ever from more than 24 miles up, it is difficult to narrow down the highlights of 2012 - but here are our Top 10.
The weather may not have have played ball but the rainfall failed to dampen spirits as tea parties were held up and down the country to celebrate Queen Elizabeth IIs 60 years on the throne.
That was not the only big royal news this year. There was national joy at the start of December when it emerged that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their first child.
And who could forget the memorable moment when the Queen greeted Daniel Craig with the words Good evening Mr Bond in the opening of Danny Boyles triumphant Olympic opening ceremony which mixed humour with seriousness as audiences were taken through an abbreviated history of Great Britain.
It was a month or so ahead of that epic Olympic opening ceremony, however, when Games fever reached the British shores. As the Olympic torch was passed from one inspirational person to another, people came out in their tens of thousands.
And the Olympic and Paralympic Games themselves didnt fail to excite, entertain and inspire as the whole of Britain got behind our athletes. Stand out moments include that Super Saturday when Team GB scooped six golds as rowers powered to double glory before female cyclists, golden girl Jess Ennis, long jumper Greg Rutherford and 10,000m star Mo Farah topped the podium. Other magical moments include Chris Hoys record-winning sixth gold medal, David Weir and Sarah Storeys four gold medals, Ellie Simmonds world record and two gold medals, Nicola Adams and Jade Jones history-making victories, Andy Murrays golden win against Roger Federer, Bradley Wiggins taking gold just days after becoming the first Brit to win the Tour de France, the list goes on.
There has also been sporting glory closer to home with Norwich City mixing it up with the big boys, beating Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Man Utd.
And it has been a big year for science. Almost half a century after the idea was conceived, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider announced the discovery of a particle consistent with the elusive Higgs boson, which explains why all other particles have mass. Peter Higgs, after whom the particle was named, was at Cern to hear the announcement. He commented: Its really an incredible thing that its happened in my lifetime.
And Nasas huge Curiosity rover survived the seven minutes of terror it takes to land on Mars. The agency used a hovering, rocket-powered crane to lower Curiosity to the ground on nylon cords.
Meanwhile, the world was on tenterhooks as Austrian daredevil Felix Baumgartner achieved one of the most remarkable feats of modern human endeavour as he became the first man to break the sound barrier without mechanical help after a 24-mile skydive from the edge of space.
And from one daredevil to another, James Bond fans celebrated 50 years of the series which coincided with the release of the 23rd Bond film Skyfall.

'American Idol' Recap: Top 12 Girls Perform [VIDEO]
It was ladies night on American Idol as the top 12 girls battled it out on the stage at a chance to be voted into the finals. Tuesday the boys set the bar high and the girls came into tonight determined to show them up. The judges had mostly good reviews for the girls, but we're starting to think Randy, Steven and Jennifer are getting a little soft on this new Idol class.
Chelsea Sorrell kicked of the evening singing Idol alumn, Carrie Underwood's "Cowboy Casanova." Her performance was average at best but Jennifer Lopez reminded, "It sucks going first." Her performance appeared to sound nasally and the judges hope to see her find her niche in the competition if she continues.
Following Chelsea was DJ/Singer Erica Van Pelt who says she wants to be "electric" and wants to "rock really hard." She did just that. Check out Erica singing "What About Love" by Heart below.
25-year old Jen Hirsh from Agora Hills, Ca, brought some soul to the Idol stage last night. The judges are excited about her strong vocal capabilities, Randy even went as far as to tell Jen, "I think you are one of the greatest singers in the competition." Those are big words Randy!
Brielle Von Hugel brings some Statan Island attitude to the show this season and could be the most confident performer of the evening, not to mention she's only 17! When Ryan asked her why she was so confident she replied: "This is where I am suppose to be, this is like my home." Brielle performed Otis Redding's "Dock Of The Bay" and surprised the audience again with her big voice.
Hallie Day mesmerized the audience with her smooth classical sound while looking beautiful. Hallie's forte is soulful music and all three judges agreed that she sounded great. We can't help but think she resembles Anna Nicole Smith!
Farmer girl Baylie Brown reigns from Krum, Texas, and this girl is drop-dead stunning. We already know Baylie has a great voice but she lacked control of her vocal performance of Lonestar's "Amazed." She clearly had an off night and the judges all agreed a poor song choice could be to blame.
Skylar Laine rocked out on stage to a rendition of "Stay With Me" by Faces, being one of the best performances of the evening. Skyler has the qualities that give her a leg up on the competition; she is fearless when it comes to commanding the stage and engaging the audience.
After experiencing vocal troubles this past week due to inflamed vocal cords, Jessica Sanchez was nervous about how she would perform last night. Regardless of her condition and nerves Jessica blew everyone away with her performance of "Love You I Do" by Jennifer Hudson. She was hands down the best performance of the evening received a standing ovation form the three judges and the entire audience.
Hollie Cavanagh impressed the judges with her performance of "Rendition." Steven Tyler described the performance simply with, "beautiful, just beautiful."
Haley Johnsen's version of Annie Lennox's "Sweet Dreams" was certainly interesting and not one of the strongest of the night. Randy described it as a very pitchy throughout and said, "It [performance] was more of a nightmare then a dream."
Shannon Magrane shows off her passion and strong vibrato singing Kathy Troccoli's "Go Light Your World." We agree with the judges and are so impressed with the talent and confidence of this 16-year-old!
Elise Testone performed Adele's "One & Only." Elise may have been pitchy in places but this is a girl I want to keep my eyes on the rest of the season. A raspy sound that is captivating yet soothing at the same time.
The competition is red-hot this season with both the guys and girls. Remember that only 5 singers from each group gets to move onto the next round! Make sure you vote for your favorite Idol, and tune into Fox tomorrow night at 8/7c p.m. to see if your favorite will make it to finals!

I have a 09 ford focus zetec. It came with a full size spare.
I want to replace the full spare with a space saver but have been having difficulty finding one, or finding the right info about it.
I've tried ringing local dealers and tyre companies. The most I have found out is that Ford do not list a space saver for my model. I don't know if that means I should not try and get a 2nd hand space saver from say ebay.
I also wanted to find out about the inflation kits, but again it is not listed for my model, only newer. Does the inflation kit work with standard tyres, or do they need a speial type of tyre? I presume changing the type of tyre would technically count as a modification for insurance purposes?
Also on this issue of the inflation kit, if I was to get breakdown cover with say RAC, or AA, does anyone know what would they do (or charge) if I had a flat, but did not have a spare?
Thanks in advance for any info. I'm stuglling to find out about this of the internet, and when I phone anyone I am getting "computer says no" type answers, and no useful advice as to what I could do.

Mason: Mom!! I've got marbles in my dee-dee [dee-dee is his cutesy name he calls his boy parts].
So of course right away I jump to conclusions! He has cancer or he was bitten by a brown recluse spider. Upon further investigation I could see that he was holding onto his testicles (I'm sooo blushing right now even typing that!) and saying there were marbles in there.
I stammered out the first answer I could come up with...those are not marbles. I thought that was a satisfactory answer for a boy of his age. Until he asked me what they were. I had horrible visions of him going to school talking about testicles to all the other kids. Not only that, if I told him what testicles were, would I have to go into detail about what the other parts were? Do I even *KNOW* what the other parts are? At that point I knew puberty is going to be a rough time in this household.
After thinking about it for a bit and thinking of the proper thing to say to my very curious 4-year-old, I decided the best answer was....
Just be quiet and wash your marbles

Its Sunday and I'm watching the menfolk take down the Christmas decorations. Being vertically challenged can come in handy sometimes. Just for fun, I made a list of some characters you might find on my blog.
FOTI = Father Of The Imps
My husband since 1987. Lovely man, outstanding cooking skills and the patience of a saint.
Joe College = Firstborn son
formerly known as: Imp 1
Ridiculously talented. Foremost characteristics: sharp wit, willingness to argue from sunup to sundown, charm and kindness. Royal pain the the backside but we love him anyway.
Charlie Brown
He's now almost 14 going on 25. Can you all give me a "Good Grief!"?
formerly known as Imp 2 = My baby.
He's 13 now so it's the last time I will ever say that in public . Old soul enveloped in a space-cadet, wrapped in an enigma.
Has very big feet and an even bigger heart.
The World Traveler = My best friend since 1979.
If he were in "Cats" he'd be Bustopher Jones, the "cat about town". See image, lower right corner.
The Prince of Darkness = My brother.
Uncle Hardrock = FOTI's brother
Bonny Anne = My Sister-in-law
Descended from privateers. The woman not only knows her way around boats, she's got the organizational skills of a five-star general, she's a lot of fun and oh yeah, she's smart and beautiful too. You could hate her guts, but she's far too adorable to hate.
Cakeboy = My nephew.
Son of The Hardrock Uncle and Bonny Anne. Spits footballer, cake expert and all around good guy.
Princess Fiona = My niece,
Twin sister of above. Face of an angel, belches like a biker.
A regular bossy boots because she needs to be as all her cousins are boys. My kind of gal.
GMOTI = Grandmother Of The Imps
The mother-in-law. She's also grandmother to Cakeboy and Princess Fiona, and step-grandmother to a whole tribe in Enschede but that's too big an acronym. She travels. Alot.
Miss M. = Best friend of Imp 1.
Another bossy boots. This is a good thing. Looks more than a little like Ms. Hepburn.
The County Swain = Another one of Imp 1's friends.
Farmboy on a fast track to being a Turbo Tukker.
The Contender = Friend of Imp 2
Why is he called "The Contender"?
Think hard. You'll get there.
Teaparty Hippie = My favorite uncle.
He used to be a hippie, now he's gone a bit right wing but we still like the same music.
The Big Man = One of the Paesani
In a land of large, tall people he is very big. Excellent cook, Springsteen fan.
Little Big Man = Youngest son of above and friend of Imp 2
He will probably wind up bigger and taller than his dad. Plays goalie for (field)Hockey Club Twente and the Youth Selection East. Budding DJ.
The Unsinkable Sheila Z. = My belly dance instructor
The Divas = The Thursday morning belly dance class
Toos = One of my dearest and most unusual friends.
She is also one of The Divas.
Skipper = A Jack Russell who thinks she's a pitbull
FOTI's dog. Terror of the streets of Hengelo.
"Mighty" Mack = A Bullmastiff who thinks he's a lapdog.
My dog. A canine philosopher.
Cousin Wessel = Eldest male cousin of FOTI and the Hardrock Uncle
Adorable man. Biggest flirt in the family. Knows about wine.
The Steel Magnolia
Cousin Wessel's wife. The name says it all.
Celtic Sif = Goddess of the North Sea
One of my best friends. Flamingo aficionado.
Thor and Loki = Sons of Celtic Sif
Professor P. - "Baby" sister of the World Traveler
Back in 1981, when she was learning to talk, the WT and I decided it was up to us to build her swearing vocabulary. She went on to become a Professor of English (and still swears to standard!).
The Book Club:
Celtic Sif - Already mentioned.
Thalia - Quiet force and gifted artist.
La Duse - Coryfee of the theater community in Hengelo.
Scheherezade - Teller of stories.
The Hippie Chick -
And I don't think Royal really describes the pain I am, for I choose Imperial to be a better one :P However, more often than not, children tend to look like their parents ;P But I'll love you just as much.

I have a partially torn ACL and have been using ACE neoprene knee braces with spring inserts for lateral supports. While these braces served me well, they were showing their ages, and ACE stopped making the same model. As far as I am concerned, newer / one-size-fits-all models from ACE and other vendors are not an improvement since they really do not fit right and do not offer the same level of compression as fitted / sized ones. There are other fitted knee braces with lateral supports but those are not made with neoprene material and do not offer the same level of compression and stability. After getting very disappointed with one of these thinner / non-neoprene knee brace, I continued my quest to find a perfect replacement of my trusty old ACE knee brace. When I found this item on Overstock.com, I was little bit hesitant because of a very large inconsistency between its pictures and descriptions. While the picture accurately showed springs on the side, description did not mention any lateral support. Since I always had good experiences with Overstock.com and its return policy, I decided to take a chance. The product was delivered within 4 days of the order, and I could not be happier with this knee brace. It is little thicker than I would like and cannot be worn inside-out (I liked to flip my old ACE brace inside out when I start to sweat so that I don't have to feel like I have a small jungle down on my knee). However, the fit was very good and firm, and the lateral support was also excellent. I have not taken it to hiking or other more demanding activities, but, with limited time I spent wearing it around short walks, I am very happy with my purchase. Ever since I purchased this knee brace, I also found out that it is no longer listed on the *** web site, so, I think that means this one is also being discontinued. I have gone ahead and ordered a second one so that I can have a spare for next few years.
After trying several knee aids, I decided to try this one. Very substantial and gives a lot of support. Does not slip down like the others I own.
It's not Seamless behind the knee for improved comfort. There is a seam but not anymore irritating/chaffing than other seamless I have used. They do have good support, The picture really doesn't show the side supports. You cant beat the price! Thanks "O" once again.
I am disappointed in the knee support braces like these on the market today. I received one years back from my doctor and I haven't been able to find anything close to replace it. This is OK. It stays up, it supports my knee. it does not breath at all!! both my leg and the brace are soaked when I take it off (after a 2 mile run in 30 degrees, where most of the rest of my body does not sweat). I can't even imagine it in the summer. but, it is better than most on the market.
First of all it actually fits on my huge knee ! I got the largest one. 2nd, it stays on and doesn't slide around. 3rd, it didn't make my leg all sweaty. 4th my knee felt more stable. Con: Harder to get off than get on.
These were quality items but the sizing was off. Smaller than expected had to return
holds knee in place,so I can walk. what more do you want?item does not breathe,so your knee sweats,but you must take good with bad.
I ordered a Medium and it's fits pretty well, I'm a 5'5" female. It's sturdy, but still lets you move in workouts. Great brace for the price!

The shaman and the spoken placebo
Gib Valet probably fit into the loose diagnostic category of "delightfully demented."
To strangers, he appeared eccentric or just odd. His friends and relatives were fully aware he was energetically, happily crazy.
Gib was one of those people doctors frequently encounter but less frequently recognize: A guy who needs the doctor's time more than the doctor's medications. Hugs instead of drugs.

Gib Valet probably fit into the loose diagnostic category of "delightfully demented."
To strangers, he appeared eccentric or just odd. His friends and relatives were fully aware he was energetically, happily crazy.
Gib was one of those people doctors frequently encounter but less frequently recognize: A guy who needs the doctor's time more than the doctor's medications. Hugs instead of drugs.
Some of his symptoms might've been mitigated a bit by antipsychotic meds, but in return they would inevitably mess him up worse than his disease had.
In his own reality show, Gib seemed pretty happy with the way he was. He could be disappointed or perplexed by the strangeness of the world around him. But he always shrugged off those moments of befuddlement, marshaled his fragmented forces, and resumed his pursuit of life and happiness. He was unaware how lucky he was to have retained his liberty.
Gib was fairly tall, more pudgy than bulky. His broad balding pate topped a round, bejoweled face, upon which was etched a perpetual guileless smile.
When he visited the clinic, sometimes he just needed some personal attention and interaction; people weren't exactly lining up to engage him in small talk. At other times, he felt ill at ease but couldn't say exactly how or why.
We'd chat, and I'd ask him to sit on the exam table for a quick exam. Rarely did anything warrant intervention, but the exam was the intervention.
Any good shaman knows placebos are not limited to sugar pills. A word, a phrase, a gesture, even a sound, can convince a patient that not only are his concerns being respected, but they also have been adequately addressed. Sometimes examinations of healthy people serve just such a placebo function. And, there's nothing wrong with that.
Gib could be vulnerable to exploitation. He was so crazy he trusted people. And seed catalogs.
Each year, eyes wide, he enviously scanned the colorful pictures of beautiful plants he could never grow. He checked off flower, herb and vegetable varieties that impressed him -- and ordered them all.
Some years, that meant seed orders exceeding $400, and back then, that bought a lot of seeds. I don't know if he ever planted any of them.
Predatory relatives and acquaintances also hit him up for "loans" from his disability check, but he managed to get along.
Late one night, I got a call from the ER. Gib had materialized, unhappy though not physically distressed. A brand new delusion had surfaced. Aliens had implanted a device in the back of his head to control his thoughts.
I drove over from home, escorted him from the ER to my more congenial exam room. There was no point in simply asserting his concern was unjustified.
After I conducted a close exam of his head and neck, with appropriate neurological testing, I told him, "I can't find any indication of a skin lesion or scar that would reveal a surgical implantation. We could just follow you and see if anything develops."
This was not sufficiently reassuring, it seemed. I hastily continued, "but we should probably have an X-ray, just this one time, to know how to proceed."
We walked back to the X-ray suite, where I draped him in the heavy lead aprons used to shield against stray rays. I put a film cassette in the vertical holder, positioned him and turned on the machine. As it warmed up, it emitted a series of dramatic clunks, whines and whirs. It did the same as it warmed down -- having released no actual X-rays in between.
This might seem patronizing, and it is. Sometimes docs must act in loco parentis.
Do ends justify means? Is frank deception acceptable if the result is a happier, more functional patient?
Heck, yes. It cost him (and Medicaid) nothing but his time, and no humans were harmed during this production.
I removed the film cassette from the holder and shoved it into a lead-lined wall receptacle opening into the darkroom. The heavy door closed with a deep resonant ka-chunk, echoing the sound of a bank vault or a dungeon door. Very impressive. A placebo sound. High-tech no-tech.
After repeating the process with a second cassette, I seated him in the camera room where he could hear, but not see, the noisy things I did with the processor, opening and closing more heavy doors deep within the darkroom.
When I emerged, I manifest a little perplexity myself. "Gib, it's good news -- I think. I mean, there's no sign of any implanted device, no scar tissue or inflammatory densities, nothing at all even remotely unusual.
"But let's face it, Gib -- it really doesn't matter what an X-ray might or might not show. You are still going to need to be alert -- you own your thoughts, and nobody else has the right to put their thoughts in your mind. You are the one who gets to decide." He nodded vigorously.
"And what we've seen here tonight is that you're very good at deciding what thoughts to think. You had a concern, you took appropriate action, and now you're free of that concern.
"What you need now is a good night's sleep, so you can feel sharp and strong tomorrow."
It seemed to be what he needed. At least, that's what the box in the back of my head said.
Jon Hauxwell, MD, is a retired family physician who grew up in Stockton and now lives outside Hays.

Job Description: Voice over actors read scripts for movies, internet voice files, CD-ROMs, and radio and television commercials. They may also narrate audio books, phone system hold messages, and corporate or industrial videos.
Training and Educational Qualifications: Most aspiring actors participate in high school and college plays, work in college radio stations, or perform with local community theater groups. Formal dramatic training, either through an acting conservatory or a university program, is generally necessary. Voice over artists sometimes seek private coaching from experienced professionals in preparation for creating a recording of several voice samples to send to agents when seeking representation.
Job Outlook: Employment of actors is expected to grow about as fast as the average for all occupations through 2016. Competition for jobs will be stiff, in part because the large number of highly trained and talented actors generally exceeds the number of available parts. However, there are generally fewer voice over actors than typical actors, so competition may not be as tough for voice over artists as for actors of stage, screen, and television.
Salary: Median hourly earnings of actors are $11.61. The middle 50 percent earn between $8.47 and $22.51. The lowest 10 percent earn less than $7.31, and the highest 10 percent earn more than $51.02. The amount for median annual earnings is $16.82 in performing arts companies and $10.69 in motion picture and video industries. Annual earnings data for actors was not available because of the wide variation in the number of hours worked by actors and the short term nature of many jobs, many of which may last for 1 day or 1 week. Voice over artists who belong to a union get paid more per hour.
Significant Facts:
• Acting assignments typically are short term ranging from 1 day to a few months which means that actors frequently experience long periods of unemployment between jobs. Often actors, producers, and directors must hold other jobs in order to maintain a living.
• Employment in motion pictures and in films for television is centered in New York and Hollywood. However, small studios are located throughout the country.
• One of the largest markets for voice over artists to do "industrials" is in Washington, DC.
• Many professional actors rely on agents or managers to find work, negotiate contracts, and plan their careers. Agents generally earn a percentage of the pay specified in an actor's contract.
I've done over 2,000 commercials and many network series shows some of the most well known include the Bold and the Beautiful, Homicide, Law and Order SVU, Law and Order Criminal Intent, The Wire and several other guest and co star roles.
Did you have an internship in this field prior to starting your job?
The only internship was moving to NYC with $300 and my young son in a U-Haul. Then I just made calls.
Do you know of which companies have the best internships in this field that are known to help launch a successful career?
Most studios, theaters, film houses, and production companies sponsor internships for students. Also, actors are often looking for someone to help them with marketing and database entries. This is a great way to see what the "business of the business" is all about.
Where are the best cities to live to find jobs like yours?
With the advent of digital recording, the audio field is pretty much open to where you want to live. However, getting established is a whole other issue. The best training is still in New York City and Los Angeles.
What is your typical day like?
I often have audio auditions at my agent's office in Los Angeles. I get the copy from the receptionist that has been picked for me by the voice over agents. I study the script and wait my turn to record it. Sometimes this wait can be as long as two hours in the waiting room. I also will get the scripts via email so that I can record the audition via my home studio and send it back to my agent's office if I have a conflict with a voice over job, on camera or theater audition, etc.
What are your job responsibilities?
My responsibilities include some of the following: to be on time, to follow script direction, to listen to subtle changes. A voice over artist must have the ability to analyze a piece of copy (script) quickly and then make changes according to a director's words. It's important to know different microphones and to understand how they affect my particular tone of voice, using a microphone to best service the kind of read I want to give. I've learned to be professional, courteous and not too
chatty that wastes producer's time and money. Likewise, it's appropriate to write short and sincere thank you notes.
What is your favorite part of your job?
Standing in front of that microphone and creating a character I know is dead on!
What do you dislike about your job?
The uncertainty of the next job.
Have you had any turning point or "light bulb" moments in your career that have helped you get to where you are today?
Every voice acting coach I have ever worked with has always inspired some "light bulb" and that is such a gift to give a performer.
How did you know you wanted to pursue this career?
The first time someone hired me because they liked my voice it happened in New York City with a producer who worked with me on camera.
How did you get into this industry?
I moved to New York City, hit the pavement and suffered poverty with my son until Angela Dipina from Cunningham, Escott, Dipina signed me, and I started working like crazy! Then it became a matter of marketing myself along with my agent and constantly improving the craft through study and practice.
What do you consider your greatest professional accomplishment?
A Regional Emmy for work on "Nicola Tesla, Master of Lightening," and voicing spots with former President Bill Clinton, Walter Cronkite and Morgan Freeman because of their dignity as human beings. Coaching others who have a dream of becoming voice over performers and seeing them succeed is extremely satisfying to me.
If you weren't doing this job, what similar careers might you consider?
Creatively I would choose writing and photography.
To what professional associations do you belong?
Actors Equity Association (AEA), American Federation of Television Radio Artists, (AFTRA), Screen Actors Guild (SAG), Women In Film, and International Television and Video Associates.
What advice do you have for others who would like to pursue this career?
Study the English language. Take acting classes. Learn different dialects. Get involved in theater. Take improvisation. Read and read some more. Read out loud, anything but the newspaper (it is too linear). Get yourself some inexpensive audio recording device and listen to the believability of your reads.

The Dean Of Students At Wisconsin Pulls Her "Don't Go" Viral Video After Being Mocked Relentlessly
So last night I posted that video of the Dean of Students at Wisconsin telling people not to go to the Mifflin Street Block Party. I ranted and raved how this was the definitive video of all videos to prove how out of touch school administrators were with real life. That anybody who thought this speech would help was a flat lunatic. I knew it was viral gold the second I saw it. I also knew it was so bad/awesome that Wisconsin would pull the video the second they realized what a disaster it was and that's exactly what they did today. I can almost picture the Dean of Students reading the comments being like "Oh my god…This isn't working!" Unfortunately for them I already ripped it before she pulled it down because I knew exactly how this chain of events was about to unfold. People now autotuning it and shit. So why am I blogging this again? To gloat. I just feel like this confirms everything I've ever said about school administrators and how delusional and self righteous they are. I felt I owed it this lady to post it again knowing she doesn't want anybody to see it anymore.

"But none of those things move me…"
- I am Thillai from Coimbatore. One of my Christian friends gave me this book "My Daily Strength" in the year 2009. I was vexed of my life because of family issues and I was about to do something to my life. I just casually went through the book and in of the pages I read what was just happening in my life. I changed my mind and started beginning to read the Bible. God changed me and the situation at home is also changed. I praise Jesus.
- Bro. Thillai Amman, Coimbatore (India) - Shirley here from Andhra Pradesh. I was frightened to face my future because of so many tensions in my life. The daily Bible reading gave me an insight what the love of God meant to everyone and to me. Now I am happy and am ready to face my future.
- Shirley Jones, Hyderabad (India) - I am terrified to face the year 2011 because the last year was a dreadful year for me. Actually I did not want to see this year. My uncle presented me "My Daily Strength" book on the 31st Dec 2010. I never waited for 1st Jan, but started reading immediately and was strengthened by the promise from Exodus 34:10 and the title "I will do marvels". Truly the LORD started doing marvels in my life and I am enjoying my life with Jesus. God bless.
- Timothy Powen, Mumbai (India) - I am Pankajam from a staunch south Indian religion and I used to attend at least three places of non-Christian gods. I had a severe stomach ailment and I was praying and doing poojas to various gods but it got worse day by day. One day I casually went to buy greeting card from a Christian shop and there I saw a book with an Eagle picture and it read "My Daily Strength". I do needed strength and the word "strength"attracted me and I got the book and began to read. Some kind of divine intervention entered my body and I was healed. Now I am fine. Thank you Jesus. Amen.
- Mrs. Pankajam Valli, Sriperumbudur (India) - I praise God for "My Daily Strength" as truly it gives me strength from Jesus Christ through every word, every day, every week and for every month. This is the work of God. Please continue to do and let this ministry be blessed. I prayed and distributed few books in my Church.
- Pas. Perinba Raja, London (UK) - I am Tharushi from Srilanka. I wanted to buy a daily Bible reading from my daily meditation. I looked in the Book shop and the owner said that there is a blessed book. I did not believe first but when I read the first page message for this year 2011, it thrilled me. Truly every word was directly addressed to me and I am experiencing a blessed year 2011.
- Tharushi, Srilanka - Greetings from Kuala Lumpur. I am doing a small ministry in Malaysia. The Word of God on January 25th really touched me because I was like Mordecai, neglected and thrown off. But as read, the LORD JESUS CHRIST strengthened my faith and now God lifted me up like Mordecai and now I am a pastor in a small church in KL.
- Pas.Hakim Malik, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) - Everyday morning before I begin my day, I look for the promise for the day, which I get from "My Daily Strength". This is only the work of the Holy Spirit and may God bless this ministry for His glory.
- Dhanyasingh, Jamshedpur (India) - You are a source of blessings in bringing out spiritual truths in a simple way for everyone to understand right from a small boy to the elderly person. Keep up your good work and let this ministry of Literature be blessed by our Lord Jesus Christ.
- Pas. Aaron Mcarthur, Dallas (US) - Salutations! A member of mine gave your book to me which I find is really soul inspiring and points out the way of God and his principles in a well-mannered way. I will indeed recommend this book to my congregation members. God bless.

- Neena Rodney, Delhi (India) - Salutations! Senthil from Chennai. I was one of the blessed few who bought "My Daily Strength" in the year 2007, as it was launched in October as a monthly issue.

I am now the regular reader of this precious gift of God. I praise God.
- Senthil Gunanathan, Chennai (India) - I thank you for the gift you gave me on my birthday when you visited US in May 2008. The gift was "My Daily Strength".

- Rev. Jayden Matthews, Australia - I am Laura from California, US. One of my Indian friends gave me your book, "My Daily Strength". In the beginning I neglected as I used to read many daily devotionals from famous servants of God.

- Laura Michelle, USA - Thothirams. I purchased "My Daily Strength" in one of the stalls in our Church at Colombo.

Toronto, ON (SportsNetwork.com) - Toronto Raptors forward Patrick Patterson is continuing to heal from a sprained ligament in his right elbow, but there is still no timetable for his return.
Patterson hasn't played since March 7 when he aggravated an elbow injury. He was diagnosed with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament two days later.
The Raptors said Patterson was reassessed Monday and another scan of the elbow revealed that the injury is healing well. He will continue to increase his basketball-related activity, including contact and scrimmages.
Patterson is averaging 8.9 points and 5.4 rebounds in 56 games this season for Sacramento and Toronto. He has averaged 9.7 points and 5.2 rebounds in 39 games for the Raptors since being acquired from the Kings on Dec. 9.

Could we get a clarification into the justification of the IP removal in custom games ? I understand that some people we're grinding XP by completing custom games super fast and you are trying to counter that but I believe that there would have been better solutions to this problem than the one that was implemented. The easy fix here that doesn't hurt people who are actually playing custom games to test builds or try out weird stuff for fun (how many Q farms do I need on Nasus to 1 shot that Sona bot ?), or just to have a no stress game before going to work or whatever is just to make the rewards happen at 15 minutes. This way the XP grinders are severely hindered (might as well go play a coop vs ai) and the people who actually want to play customs will most likely stay in that game for 20-30+ miutes would not be affected by this change. Could we get some further insight into this change Riot ? because as of right now, I dont get it. EDIT: Great conversation here on the topic keep up the positive thinking to get this resolved in a manner that is positive for everyone (except botters). Positive/constructive feedback and showing Riot that there is actually a portion of their playerbase that enjoys PvE is always the best way to get things sorted out.
because like all idiots instead of fixing the problem they just punish all of us. Typical moronic repsonse to a problem people cannot solve. apparenlty from what ive ready a few exploiters have found a way to run it in 5min with master yi and farm IP, so it ruins it for all the rest of us becasue the DEVS are to stupid to solve the problem instead they punish us all who enjoy our custom games. Its bad enough they are to lazy to program the bots to just be harder other than beginner level or add more ai and more bots. instead they just abuse and punish us because a very small amount of players found an exploit typical moron thinking eh.
Sorry OP, but you and your smurf need to stahp
I think the point is to hinder XP grinders, so that people can't easily make forum smurfs. If you want to level up, go play some regular games.
All I can say is that I'm glad ARAM has its own game type, otherwise GD would likely be a giant s&%tstorm of flaming right now.
Cameron Woof
Custom games where it's just myself and 9 bots have been the most fun I've had playing this game. No one gets angry, no one yells at each other, and games last long enough for me to get into them before they're over. Not getting IP for these is a pretty low blow as far as I'm concerned. They're honestly the perfect no-stress way to play the game, be it just on your own or when trying to teach new players the ropes. Would love to see this reverted.
Bandana Dee
bump. this is dumb and needs reverting
Mister Kono
bump for justice
What I also find baffling in this patch is the HP bars are off by default and they unbound the hotkey that was used to activate/deactivate this O_o I mean have to even tried to play a game of ARAM with hp bars (minions and players) turned off ?! it's hard to even see who is on your team

As the "Lets Go Islanders" chants rained down from the Madison Square Garden rafters, while the horn sounded on an entertaining game, the Rangers' Ryan Malone showed the only fight the Rangers could muster in the 3rd period by giving a couple of cheap shots to Brian Strait. Too little too late, as the Islanders took the first matchup of the season against their rivals in an impressive 6-3 victory.
2 Down, 80 more to go, and another 16 W's after that! This past weekend has seen a whirlwind of emotions carry from Raleigh to Long Island, like... well, a hurricane. The Isles have gotten themselves off to a 2-0 start, their best in a decade, but now the real challenge begins. Can the team carry the momentum from the final home opener into the next few weeks?
Some things just seem destined to happen and that was certainly the case on Sunday night. It was only fitting that Marty St. Louis would be the Ranger that got the game winning goal in overtime to propel his team to within one game of the Stanley Cup Final.
Anyone that has been following the Eastern Conference Final knows that the Rangers are just on a surreal trip powered by the emotional engine of their right winger.
Going into this series most people would have thought that the Canadiens came flying into the series off of emotions after beating their dreaded rival Bruins. The problem is they have run into a team that is riding a wave that simply won't subside. The Hab...
Now that the Montreal Canadiens have gotten a win under their belt, will it be enough to turn the tide in favor of the Habs? In a series that so far has not indicated that home ice means anything le hockey club de Montreal could very well get a win in Madison Square Garden on Sunday night and make a series out of this.
Both teams will be without key players. The Rangers have lost Derek Stepan who had surgery for a broken jaw and will not play in Sunday night's game. This is a huge loss for the Rangers as Stepan is third on their team in points. They are getting back center Derek Brassard to replenish the forwards.
The Canadiens, meantime have lost chief agitator Brandon ...
Team Breakdown
Pittsburgh: The Penguins managed to secure victory against the Columbus Blue Jackets by using their depth, their defense, and strong play on the puck. The Penguins had a tough time getting everything going against the very tight checking Blue Jackets, but still managed to control the puck at a 60% corsi and shake up the lines enough to avoid the preferred match ups of Columbus.
All of this plays in well against the Rangers. Pittsburgh will not have to focus exclusively on the forward match ups, mostly because New York's shut down play Boyle has not had great success against Crosby. Pittsburgh has been able to use five different lines, comprised mostly of t...
We're officially a week into the 2013/14 NHL playoffs and we've already seen our share of overtime dramatics, borderline hits, curious officiating, and Pierre McGuire. While every series has seen at least 3 games played, now is a good time to check in on what we've learned through week 1 of the dance and what we should expect over the next week.
The Blackhawks (35-11-14) regular NHL season starts back with a game against the Rangers (32-24-), in New York. The NHL season is just restarting after the Olympic break, during which 6 Blackhawks players took medals: Gold for Jonathn Toews, Duncan Keith and Patrick Sharp, and Silver for Niklas Hjalmarsson, Johnny Oduya and Marcus Kruger. The Rangers also have medaled athletes: Gold for Rick Nash, and Silver for goaltender Henrik Lundqvist and forward Carl Hagelin.
Both teams have stayed healthy through the first part of the se...
Team USA forward and New York Rangers Captain, Ryan Callahan is looking to get paid this summer. With the Rangers lacking the cash and the Islanders in need of a more physical presence in their lineup, Callahan and the Isles would be a perfect marriage.(flickr/suelucky)
Early in the season, the Blackhawks picked up several wins where their best game wasn't there for the full sixty minutes, but they still managed to win the game. It might have hinted of a Cup hangover, but as the season rolled on, it was clear that the team didn't have any such thing - just their ongoing tendency to play some very sloppy periods within otherwise solid games.Tonight versus the Rangers was one of those nights. The Blackhawks let themselves get outplayed in the first, and found themselves down 2-0 less than ten minutes into the game. Brad Richards opened the scoring with an even-strength goal; Mats Zuccarello put in a power play goal next off a pair of od...

Michael McGlinchey
CENTRAL Coast coach Graham Arnold confirmed on Sunday that New Zealand international midfielder Michael McGlinchey will skipper his side in the Club's final match of 2012 at home to Perth Glory on Monday evening.
McGlinchey has gathered a wealth of footballing experiences since he signed for the yellow and navy from Glasgow Celtic in 2009, and Arnold believes the responsibility of captaining the Mariners will have a positive effect on the diminutive Kiwi's play against the purple-whites.
"I think Mikey is one of the best players in the A-League," Arnold said following training on Sunday.
"He's been to the World Cup, to the Olympics, he knows what pressure football is about. We need a little bit extra out of Mikey tomorrow night so hopefully the armband can help."
McGlinchey is elated by Arnold's decision to name him captain in the absence of the team's regular leader John Hutchinson, who will be missing due to suspension. The team's vice-captain Patrick Zwaanswijk will also miss the contest due to a groin complaint, as will attackers Daniel McBreen and Tomas Rogic (both suspended).
"I don't really know what to say," McGlinchey admitted. "It's a great honour to be the stand-in captain for Hutch (Hutchinson)."
"I've been at the Club four years now and hopefully it can add to my game."
As captain, it will be McGlinchey's responsibility to guide a somewhat fresh-looking Mariners team around the Bluetongue Stadium surface against Ian Ferguson's Glory side.
Indeed, Arnold outlined that it had always been his intent to rotate his squad throughout the busy, fixture-filled festive period, however the suspensions and injuries his team has sustained recently had made his selection task simpler.
"I was planning on making changes anyway to get some fresh legs into the side," Arnold said. "The forced changes have made it easier for me."
"Adam Kwasnik will come in. It's time for Kwas. He's had a few injuries and he's a fan favourite here, and he's always shown in the past that he's a goalscorer. He's looked sharp at training the last couple of weeks and he's been eager for a chance, so he'll get his opportunity."
Arnold added that other experienced and capable professionals including Adriano Pellegrino and Oliver Bozanic were also likely to feature.
"Pelles (Pellegrino) has been a great pro," Arnold said. "He's had some tough times here with the fact that he hasn't started that often and he's been on the bench at times. But he brings great energy to the team and I am sure against his old team he will have a good impact."
"Oli Bozanic has had a frustrating start to the season because of a knee injury in the off-season. He has got great pedigree and he has shown what he can do in the past. He knows what his job is."
Current ticket sales indicate a crowd in excess of 15,000 could converge on Bluetongue Stadium for the New Year's Eve blockbuster, and both Arnold and McGlinchey acknowledged playing Glory on the final day of 2012 represents a tough challenge.
"Perth are a difficult team to play against, and we've got a lot of respect for Perth Glory because they've got some wonderful players in their side. Any team that has Shane Smeltz in their side is danger," Arnold said.
"They're a dangerous side. Every time we play them it is a tight game. We know what to expect from them, they're pretty physical," McGlinchey added.

I think that's the first time I've cried in... well, almost a year. And considering my past track record, that's amazing. I'd managed to get myself to stop crying as much... but that's just too freaking much.
He's gone... I'll probably never see him again. Goddamnit, I'm starting to cry again now. I odn't want my mum to see... as much as I love her, I just can't explain it all to her. Crap.
Stupid job. Why did it have to exist? I mean I know he's happy about it... but... ugh. Crap.
Yeah. I did it. Damn...
Lessee... called him, said "So... yeah.. I'm kidna crazy about you.. and... have been for a while... figured I'd tell you before you left for California."
"Oh... well, I'm gald you told me, and don't have that bottled up anymore.."
"Yup. Imonna... go watch edward scissorhands now... >>"
"Aww, I love that movie.. well, see ya tomorrow"
"Yup. Bye"
Yeahh... well, it's out there. And that's that. It's over. Crappppp.
Lesseee, today I woke up at 11 some-odd... that's later thanI've slept in liek a year. xD
And then I checked facebook... first thing I saw was a message from Senior asking when he could come over to watch doctor who. He effing came over to my house today! To let me indulge in my geekiness towards him!! It was freaking amazing!
Then there was band... the show went even better than last nights. Which is awesome. But... it was Seniors last major thing at my high school. D:
Stupid California... I mean, I love it, but... why does it have to be so far awayy? ><
He's flipping coming over! Do you realize how freaking insane that is? :DDD
I just hate that all this is happening three days before he's moving across the country.. o_O
But still! He's coming over! Yay doctor who for giving me the perfect excuse for almost anything! :D
Senior invited me to go to starbucks with him and this other senior girl. It was freaking amazing. :DD
For the first time this week I'm in a freaking good mood. I'm in such a good mood that I couldn't even concentrate enough to absorb most of what your people's comments were (cuz I do, in fact, read everything that's posted on this site... yayyyy, no life!)
That's all. Bye.
(Bet ya didn't see -that- one coming. ;D)
I feel like such a whiner. I have almost nothing to complain about compared to a lot of people, but still... I dunno. At this point I feel like "Yeah, your hurts are probably worse than mine. But I'm not experiencing those, I'm experiencing mine... and my hurts still hurt."
Not only did he not remember, but today was just not a great day... first two periods I had tests, third period was okay, but fourth I had to run the freaking mile and about a quarter of the way through I got the worst freaking cramp or something that I've ever had... I could hardly breathe. Art school was okay... it usually is. But then band... started off good enough, but then somebody's 200 dollar mouthpiece got stolen, Senior got extremely mad and flipped out...
Is either gonna be absolutely amazing or kinda crappy... on one hand, it's alone time with Senior. On the other hand, I could spend the whole time wanting to just do something about the whole thing but not because that would be practically suicidal...
BUT, he said "Hey Skylar" today. As in not my old name... as in I smiled all hugely after that. It was pretty sweet. I really wanna figure out a way to get him to hug me....
I've been freaking liking him more and more. I want to be able to talk about how awesomely the whole coming out at school thing is... but all I can really think about talking about is him.
Tomorrow I get to hang out with him before band... I'm excited, even though I usually get to do this every week, and usually for longer than tomorrow. I just want to be at that point already... screw all of the in between stuff. Argh. ><
Were you just realize how ridiculously much you want somebody to be able to call just to talk and it wouldn't be incredibly creeperish? Okay, so I hve friends that do that to friends, but I'm not a fan of the phone and most people know that.. the only few times that I enjoyed phone conversations was when I was semi going out with a girl-at-the-time from georgia..
I made plans to go see where the wild things are last night... that didn't work out cuz the person I was gonna go with ended up being unable to go. So somebody else asked me if I wanted to do anything today, and Is aid "Sure, let's go see where the wild things are." Now -he- can't go, but I still really wanna go. I can't find anybody that can come... some small part of me really wants me to just invite Senior, but I know that'd be like suicide.. he doesn't think of me as as much of a friend as I think of him. Bleh, it'd be so much easier if I could just find somebody that could come.
I'm sick. Not majorly so, but still.. just enough that it's annoying.
I'm in love with my hat, too.. :D
Umm... lessee... next week is gonna be crazy busy cuz I don't think I'll get home until nine any night other than monday... fun, right? BUT, I get to paper mache Seniors face at some point, so... maybe it's worth it. xD
And he's starting to get more friendly with me. Slowly, but it's happening. Of course, he's leaving in ten days... figures. Fleh. It sucks.
I really don't know why I'm writing this. Probably because I have nothing better to do..
I got a new hat today! From Senior! Yushh!!
For the record... I was in love with this hat pretty much before I said two words to him... it's that amazing. And the fact that he so willingly handed it over to me after I heard that there were people that had asked him for it a lot? Even more awesome! :D
Anywho, enough ramblings, cuz I could go on all day... I show you a picture!
Nyaha, rainbow dinosaurs... it's exciting. xD

Spillane was the one person in the
shop on the afternoon of my visit, and he was kind enough to share his sage pizza-wisdom with a
couple other visiting pizza aficionados and me. Armitage's pizzas only come in a 8-slice 14" size, reasonably priced at $11 for a cheese pizza and $2 for a cheese slice. As a
general rule, I usually don't review a pizzeria based on just one slice. Pizza
by the slice can have a few disadvantages – most significantly it sometimes
sits under a lamp too long. However, I made an exception here because Armitage only kept one fresh cheese pizza for by-the-slice sales. Spillane didn't even want to do this, but was
convinced to do so because of the high customer demand. Although the full pizzas looked great, I'm glad he opted for the by-the-slice business. An often stated belief at this blog has been that if you can't make a great cheese pizza, you simply can't make a great pizza. Crust, sauce, and cheese are the keys; Toppings are a bonus. Well, Armitage can make a great pizza. Here's the cheese slice:
Behind the counter, Spillane's work table and much of the floor was covered in excess King Arthur's flower - a great sign to me. The late-model gas oven is turned all the way
up so that pizzas can be cooked at 650 degrees. The crust is key to Spillane and I found the slice to be excellent in that regard. It is thin, but not cracker thin. The bottom of the crust had a little char, with a slight amount of excess flower, and the pie was crisp around the outer edge of crust (the
"cornicone"). Yet, the middle of the slice was soft and very
foldable, but nowhere soggy. This is the perfect crispy and chewy combo for a New York slice
The pizzas use regular Stella shred mozzarella rather than the
fresh buffalo mozzarella you see at Neapolitan joints. This lower moisture variety worked well on the pizza. Also, the thin layer of sauce is composed primarily of Zia Rosa tomatoes (if you order a whole pizza, an empty tomato can is used for
the pizza stand). A little bit of Romano cheese is added, giving it a slightly sharper tangy taste. The combined effect is better than the parts, making for a great slice.
While I enjoy the recent wave of Neapolitan places, I find myself more often craving a well-crafted classic New York style pizza. Weighing the quality and
the price, I'm not sure I've ever had better pizza. Armitage provides a simple and extremely well executed pie. Indeed, I liked the slice
here so much today that I decided to review it on the Megabus ride back to
Cincinnati (and the Wi-Fi gloriously held up today). As mentioned, I broke my typical rule of only reviewing full pizzas (although I hope to return for one in the coming months). I do so because Armitage rivals Joe's in the West Village as one of the best traditional slice joints in America. If you happen to be near Lincoln Park, I highly recommend stopping by for a bite.
