Elizabeth E. Hatch, PhD
Professor, EpidemiologyBiography
Dr. Hatch's research interests are focused on prenatal and childhood exposures in relation to long-term health outcomes, especially hormonally-related cancers, reproductive outcomes, and obesity. Dr. Hatch teaches cancer epidemiology and has conducted research on several cancer sites including brain cancer, childhood leukemia, and breast and cervical cancer. Prior to joining the faculty at BU in 2000, she was an investigator at the National Cancer Institute, where she led a large cohort study on the health risks of exposure to the synthetic hormone, diethylstilbestrol (DES) among women exposed during pregnancy and their offspring exposed in utero. She continues her involvement with the DES study as a co-investigator of the BU DES study site, where 2nd and 3rd generation offspring are being followed for cancer and other conditions. Currently, Dr. Hatch is principal investigator of a 5 year NIH-funded grant that is a collaborative study of factors related to reproductive health in Denmark. The study uses internet-based recruitment and follow-up and is evaluating factors related to fertility, miscarriage, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. With support from the Oak Foundation and the National Toxicology Program, Dr. Hatch will also evaluate exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals a subset of women in the cohort, and whether they may affect fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and childhood obesity.Education

EDIT: I'm going to preface my prior review with this new experience. A friend and I transferred our DSL to another two new phone lines after a move. Everything seemed to go smoothly; we had service at our new apartments and numbers and had no problems. At least 4 different representatives told us that we are on a new billing cycle after the switch, so we do not need to pay our bills yet. We even offered the cash face to face and they refused it.
In a couple days my friend's service was cut. He called to see why and they said it was because he didn't pay the bill! It turns out that, at least according to their records, the transfer never occurred. I figured the error was only with his account, but then the next day my account was terminated for the same reason. On top of everything, my friend was forced to go to a branch and get the problem fixed because no one on the phone would. While at the office we made sure that my account was in good shape. The representative said it was.
We take a cab home (like we have at least a dozen times to fix problems created by TE Data -- this is not an exaggeration). To go there and back costs LE 10 usually; we've spent at least LE 100 in cab fare, not to mention our LE 60 trip to Dokki (more on that later). Within an hour and a half or less my service was cut. We called and they acknowledged an error and said the problem would be fixed within 2 hours.
Of course -- it wasn't. We called back and were told we have to go to the office again. This morning we went. My friend requested that his account be canceled so he can change to another company. The representative handed him a complaint form and said the process would take 21 days! Of course, you can't sign up with a new provider unless the prior ISP cancels your account. To make this clear, they can disconnect anyone's service in less than an hour, but can't cancel an account in less than 21 days? The whole idea is to discourage you from going to another ISP.
Next we went to the headquarters in Dokki to speak to the CEO herself. We told her we have two lines in our apartment complex (one for each of us), and her first response was, "Are you reselling the service?" So she begins with an insult. Next she won't even listen to why we are there. She gets on the phone and says, "This guy does not like us and we do not like him -- cancel the account." Because both of us wear Islamic dress, I believe she thought we were villagers with no education (one of us has a Ph.D., the other a MA -- but whatever) and treated us like morons. After she made that comment we left without continuing the discussion. In fact, there was no discussion because she would not listen to our story in the first place.
When I visit their website and see slogans like, "The Best Service in Egypt" I laugh. It is the worst customer service IN THE WORLD. I am waiting for my friend to switch ISPs to see what his service is like, and if he has a good experience I will be dumping TE Data also. They don't value you as a customer and treat you like garbage, knowing that most people here don't know or can't be bothered to find another provider.
Below is my initial review.
I purchased the 4Mb package, which is about $63 USD / month. There is no official contract, but payments are made every 3 months, so one might consider that a contract of sorts. Comparatively, in other countries $63 could buy up to 20Mb in some cases.
The ordering process was awful. I was told I would have DSL within at most 10 days, then 15. I eventually got connected after a month of phone calls. The install process was simple: they give you the modem, PPoE login/password, and you take it home. The router is an EchoLife HG520b. Functionally it seems to work well, but it is designed to act as a picture frame on your desk; ports are on the bottom which means you can't simply sit it level on a floor. I'd wager most wouldn't want this tacky thing on their desk, especially considering there's a TEData logo on the frame.
When I first requested service I asked for 4Mb. The man told me that's no problem, but that I'll have to start with a 2Mb plan first and then my line will be tested for 'high speed' internet. If the tests go well, then I can upgrade to 4Mb and pay the difference. Sounds reasonable. I asked him again for reassurance and he said no problem, you can pay the difference between the two plans.
30 days pass and I go to pick up the router. A service rep tells me that in order to upgrade to high speed I will need to wait 3 months until my plan ends, and that he cannot just charge me the difference, or even remove me from the plan and charge full price. After arguing about how stupid this is he told me to come in 3 days; he will check the line over the course of those 3 days, and then I can pay the difference before TEData submits their billing to another company for handling. Okay, that's reasonable.
3 days later I come back. Surprise, the guy isn't there! His coworker from 3 days ago was though, alongside a new guy who helped us. While his partner could have explained our entire situation to the new guy (he heard it front to back that day) he instead sat there and played Solitaire or something. Eventually the guy claims he cannot do it, even though I qualify for high speed and that I have to wait 3 months. In actuality they are too lazy to do any paperwork or consult with their superiors. By the way, you cannot reach their superiors.
Eventually I reached someone who could help us after probably a week of hassling. I work from home using the Internet, so a meager 2Mb actually matters to me. We go to the same store and pay the same guy a the difference -- and all is well. Not quite. After 3 days my connection was at 2Mb again. Some more calls eventually fixed that problem.
Dealing with Egypt Telecom is a whole story by itself and I'll save you the time. By the way, if you want to switch providers you will have no Internet for 10 days, and you will be forced to pay a deactivation fee. Then you will wait for your new provider to actually turn on your line (Another 30 days? Who knows). After reading the forums I've heard the other ISPs aren't much better, and in some cases worse.
The good news is that once you have service, it's generally reliable. Your only other option is a mobile modem or dial up. The 4Mb plan has an 80gb data transfer cap, which is kind of low in my option but shouldn't affect most people.

Being one of two ISPs able to provide on such a scale, there seems to be no solid reason for or against using this ISP. The fact that it is owned by the incumbent telecom operator might appear as an advantage to quicker response to requests, but this has been disputed by other customers.

In a non aluminum pot/jar combine seeds, mustard powder, water, vinegar and wine. Cover and macerate for 2 days or 3, adding more wine and liquid in correct portions to keep covered in liquid. Stir daily. Put in cusinart, processor, what ever you have, add all garlic run this for 7 minutes. Add liquid in correct proportations to keep smooth and not grainy.

Turns out Amazon might have beaten Apple in the online music locker race by sprinting off the blocks well before the whistle was ever blown, at least if the stunned reactions by music labels are to be believed. Reuters reports:
More →
Amazon surprised the tech world last night by announcing Cloud Drive and Cloud Player services for streaming music to various platforms. Amazon has stolen a march on Apple after we heard the other day that Apple was supposedly planning to launch a similar service very soon (given their purchase of streaming service Lala happened more than a year ago.) Well, Amazon has gotten here first.
There's been talk of an Amazon super-Kindle running Android OS since... about 5 minutes after Steve Jobs left the stage following the original iPad introduction. Now that Amazon has launched their Appstore (TM in contention), that talk is heating up again. And why not? It's an obvious play. I'd be surprised if Amazon hasn't had one in the labs for a while now (just like I would have been surprised if Facebook hadn't been working on a phone...)
Amazon has content like iTunes, including (in the US at least -- and more on that in a moment), ebooks, movies, TV shows, music, and now apps. They've made hardware before with the Kindle line.
But they're hardly the only one.
According to the New York Times, Apple has rejected a few apps recently including Sony's Reader app, based on the way content is purchased for use within the app. Sony's Reader app is an eBook platform similar to Apple's own iBooks app and the Amazon Kindle app. Content can be found and purchased outside the app, bypassing Apple's iTunes Store and therefore bypassing Apples slice of the pie.
Wondering how you'll get through all the Christmas cooking, cleaning, shopping, and entertaining? Luckily there are lots of iPhone and iPad apps for that. Whether you need to take your turkey (or tofu!) up a notch, get the perfect gift for that special someone, or just survive the relatives festivities, read on for TiPb's top 5 favorite, most recommended, most must-have iPhone and iPad apps to get you through Christmas and into the New Year.
Google is expected to launch an online eBook store before the end of the year under the name of Google Editions and that once again puts the head to head against Apple and their new iBooks:
Apple TV is currently ranked in the number 12 position on Amazon's best-selling gadget list. What makes this so interesting is that Apple TV wasn't even listed at all until now, despite its sales numbers. When that was discovered and began to be questioned on several prominent online sites, the Apple TV magically showed up. (Amazon has yet to respond to questions on why Apple TV was originally excluded from their list.)
Also an interesting bit is that the competing Roku XDS and Boxee Box are also on the list, though below Apple TV's position.
Amazon has released Windowshop for iPad. If you use Amazon as frequently as I do, you may already realize that the current iPhone and iPad offerings are pretty grim. I've never been a huge fan of the Amazon app as it seems to just be a mobile version of the site shoved into an app. Windowshop seems to bridge that gap quite nicely on the iPad and it's now available in the App Store as a free download.
iPad origins, how big can the market get, Target, Amazon, and Walmart oh my, limera1n causes some pain, and Marc Edwards joins us from Bjango. It's 10/10/10 folks and this is iPad live!
As expected Target has begun selling Apple's iPad, and if our inbox and subsequent searches are to be believed, online retail giant Amazon has joined them.
Like our early screenshots showed, Target is offering the complete line of iPads. Amazon is only selling the Wi-Fi iPad though 3rd party resellers may or may not have the 3G model available (the page was showing some, then popping up errors, so your luck may vary).
Apple moved millions of iPads via their own Apple Retail and Apple Online stores and getting them onto the shelves (real or virtual) of more and major outlets can only help them sell more.

If what some medical experts say is true, it may not require a military strike to kill Osama bin Laden. For several years now, reports have been circulating that claim the 45-year-old is quite ill, sees doctors regularly and may have a heart problem. The evidence is sketchy, but some see signs that bin Laden could die suddenly.
Marfan syndrome is a potentially fatal disorder of connective tissue, and some believe it's jeopardizing the life of al-Qaida's elusive leader. Bin Laden would be in good company: Some say Marfan would have killed Abraham Lincoln if John Wilkes Booth had missed his mark in 1865. It also appears to have claimed the lives of Jonathan Larson, author of the musical "Rent," who died on the eve of the production's 1996 Broadway debut; Chris Patton, a University of Maryland basketball star who died during a pickup game; and Flo Hyman, an Olympic volleyball player who died at 31 in 1986. The aortas of all three ripped in a manner consistent with the disorder. Charles de Gaulle and composer Sergei Rachmaninoff are also believed to have had Marfan.
Although Marfan syndrome, like sickle cell anemia, is often the product of an inherited genetic mutation, determining whether someone has the disease is tricky. Experts say one in 10,000 people have it, but that thousands are unaware that they are affected. The National Marfan Foundation estimates that more than 200,000 people in the United States have Marfan syndrome or a related connective tissue disorder. "It's a very complicated diagnosis to establish," says Dr. Hal Dietz, a geneticist at Johns Hopkins University, who led the team that discovered the mutant gene responsible for Marfan. "There is no DNA test that can absolutely confirm whether someone has it."
Because there's no screening process or dead giveaway that a person has the disease, a Marfan diagnosis is an intricate process of elimination that almost always begins by sizing up someone's physical features. Marfan sufferers typically have an unusual outward appearance, often called Marfanoid. More often than not, the disease strikes very tall people. They tend to be lean and lanky, with long, spidery fingers, curved spines, scant muscle, crooked chests and elongated faces and heads.
"I can be in a shopping mall or go to the beach and see people who might have the diagnosis," Dietz says. "Often you can get the impression that their legs and arms are far too long for the size of their trunk."
In addition, patients can develop joint problems, severe nearsightedness, spinal fluid complications and detached retinas. Many are severely flat-footed. Most problematic, the majority of Marfan sufferers have an enlarged aorta, the body's largest blood vessel. When the aorta is oversized, it is prone to rupture, which usually means death. This enlargement can also cause chest pains, dizziness and shortness of breath, as well as high blood pressure and shaking legs.
Currently, Marfan syndrome is incurable, but if diagnosed early enough and monitored, patients can have a normal life span. Those who go untreated often die in their 30s and 40s from an aortic dissection.
Judging by photos and the FBI's physical records, Osama bin Laden could be a candidate for the diagnosis. He is said to be between 6 foot 4 inches and 6 foot 6, which is apparently unusual for his family. He is thin, bony and has little muscle; he weighs only 160 pounds. And he uses a cane — possibly the result of connective tissue or back problems. Other information about the leader of al-Qaida suggests he may have a heart condition. His facial structure also resembles that of people with Marfan.
"He is Marfanoid," says Dr. Richard Devereux, a clinician who treats patients with the illness at the Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York. "He seems to have long fingers and long arms. His head appears to be elongated and his face narrow … It's certainly conceivable that he has the Marfan syndrome and could be evaluated for it."
Though people have long speculated about bin Laden having Marfan, federal officials won't answer questions about his health. "We don't discuss the medical conditions of our enemy commanders," says Maj. Jay Steuck, a Defense Department spokesman. And a Central Intelligence Agency spokesman says, "We don't do unclassified medical summaries."
Off the record, one official told me there's been a lot of speculation about bin Laden's health and that he wasn't sure whether it was genuine or generated by the multimillionaire's spin machine to make the leader seem more heroic. After all, what better way to gain sympathy among followers than to suggest he has an uncommon disease and has overcome all sorts of nasty obstacles to thwart his enemies? What's more, if he is ultimately killed by the United States, his supporters could conceivably argue that a rare medical disease killed him instead.
Stoking the mystery of bin Laden's health is his habit of wearing flowing robes, head coverings and a full beard: It's difficult to get a clear sense of his physical attributes. There's no way to tell if he has a distorted chest bone, for one. Even so, reports came out last year that bin Laden's hands were shaking and that two doctors from the United Arab Emirates were smuggled into Jalalabad, Afghanistan, to care for him. At that time, Yossef Bodansky, staff director of the House Task Force on Terrorism, told the New York Post: "We are getting a lot of reports and rumors. By all accounts, bin Laden is not a healthy man and is under a lot of stress."
David K. Schenker, a research fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, agrees that bin Laden's size is atypical for his surroundings. "I lived in the Middle East, and I never ran into anyone that tall," he says. But when I asked him if he heard about bin Laden's being sick, Schenker said, "What are we talking about — the one where he is supposed to have kidney failure or liver disease?" He pointed out that it's common for figures like bin Laden to be followed by rumors of fatal illnesses.
Should bin Laden have Marfan syndrome, the stress of cave-hopping and trying to outrun Allied cruise missiles could prove deadly. "People with the disease are told not to engage in heavy exercise," says Dr. Darwin Prockop, director of the Center for Gene Therapy at Tulane University. "If Osama bin Laden has Marfan, he is in danger of sudden rupture of the aorta and sudden death."

This week's photo challenge is guest hosted by Quintin Lake of Quintin Lake Architectural Photography. Read on for more about this week's theme and his photography tips!
Geometry. This challenge is about the shapes and rhythms that make up the geometry of our world. Many photographs of any genre have an underlying sense of geometry, but I often like to make this the main subject of my work. I think it's the most important aspect of a photograph's success. This could be the patterns of the natural world up close and personal, or the rhythm of your local buildings. The above photograph, "Positive Negative," depicts the Paula Rego Museum in Lisbon where the sky created an equally strong element of the composition as the building. The image has a totemic quality, softened by the passing cloud. I had waited for this cloud to move into the perfect position within the frame. The colour, light, and form of the image emphasize this geometry.
Share a photo that means GEOMETRY to you!
Tip: Once you have found a good subject that contains an interesting geometry, try to crop tightly into the subject to make an unexpected composition. Your goal should be to create an abstract composition so the image is more about underlying shapes than a literal representation of the subject matter itself — by doing this you create art rather than a snapshot.

Silent film star, almost exclusively with Universal, a beauty contest runner-up invited to Hollywood by studio boss Carl Laemmle (the winner, Gertrude Olmstead, also enjoyed success in film). After two years in Hollywood Philbin played in her first important film, Erich von Stroheim's lavish "Merry-Go-Round" (1923), opposite Norman Kerry, with whom she would act in five films. Philbin's best-known role remains that of aspiring opera singer Christine Daae, tutored and beloved by the frightful "Phantom of the Opera" (1925), with Lon Chaney in the title role. She later gave a touching performance as the blind heroine who becomes enamored of another disfigured protagonist (Conrad Veidt) in Paul Leni's stunning adaptation of Victor Hugo's "The Man Who Laughs" (1928).
Although Philbin essayed the title role of "Stella Maris" (1926) in the remake of the 1918 Mary Pickford showcase, and worked with such important directors as William Beaudine, Frank Borzage, E.A. Dupont and D.W. Griffith, her career ran out of steam at the end of the silent era. Her standard ingenue role in her first all-talkie, "The Shannons of Broadway" (1929), was rather small, and after making a plodding low-budgeter, "After the Fog" (1930), she retired from the screen.

I had a timing belt service where the mechanic broke the plugs taking them out (common) and replaced them holed but sealed and retained by resin. I only found out 14k miles later at different garage doing gaskets, found gunk in pulley = new pulley. Is resin an accepted way of holding plugs on this variable valve drive pulley. I guess the resin cost more than the plugs?

How To Optimize Your Retirement Investing Priorities
If you have self-employment income, consider opening an Individual 401(k). The benefits are the same as an employer-sponsored 401(k), but you contribute as both the "employer" and the "employee" and receive reduced self-employment taxes in addition to an income tax deduction.
401(k) investors who like the idea of paying tax today in favor of reduced tax bills in retirement, those who like the idea of the Roth IRA, can often choose to designate some or all of their 401(k) contribution as a Roth 401(k). Whether this is offered is up to the employer.
Priority 4: Maximize contributions SEP IRA
The SEP (Simplified Employment Pension) IRA provides an opportunity for self-employed individuals to put aside more of their income for retirement and receive a tax deduction at the same time. The contribution limit for the SEP IRA can be much higher than the one for traditional and Roth IRAs, but otherwise, the SEP IRA operates the same way from a tax perspective as the traditional IRA. The limit for investing in an SEP IRA is 25 percent of income up to a maximum that changes almost every year, though there are some nuances to that calculation.
Priority 5: Invest anything else in a taxable account
Once you've maximized all the above investment types, you've run out of tax-advantaged options. While there are other avenues for tax savings, like deferred compensation, restricted stock, and carried interest, these are likely not available to most taxpayers. You will probably need to save more than just the above in order to achieve financial independence by the time you'd like to stop working, unless you are willing and able to limit your expenses.
Frugality can go a long way in making your retirement dollar stretch, but most people envision a life without worrying about whether they can afford to do a particular activity. A life like that requires saving a healthy amount of money over time. If your tax-advantaged opportunities are complete, you can save more by investing in a taxable investment account.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Best AnswerAsker's Choice
To Charlize Theron.
How does it feel being in another Sci-Fi movie exploring the bounds of humanity? It's past, present, and future. Do you like movie that get people thinking about such? (I do)
BTW If I can have a second question for Charlize, it is... Have you at any stage talked to Sigourney Weaver about the Alien movies, not just in the last year or so, but at any time if you had the chance... Did she have any advice/thoughts/little gems you would care to share?

I would ask Charlize theron ......'Who is Michael Fassbender?'. because this looks like a great movie and well, he looks like someone worth following in the movies. Charlize is awesome too but ahh.....i dont really know them that well enough to take their words as very important, unless its to do with movies and actors. hence my question.
I just wanted to say that I am a fan of Ridley Scott's an I am happy to see Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron attached to this project, as well as the other talented actors.
My question to Michael and Charlize is: Since "Prometheus" is sharing certain elements from its predecessor film "Alien" were you able to approach the project without being influenced by the past films?
Thank you! -
I would ask Michael Fassbender frankly if he was disappointed at all being snubbed from the Academy this year after giving two outstanding contrasting performances in two great films last year, A DANGEROUS METHOD and SHAME. Apparantly "Shame" was too risque to be included in the Oscars, but what about A DANGEROUS METHOD ? An outstanding film with three incredible performances.
That's what I call a "Best Actor," someone who can deeply portray two compelling yet different characters, in the same year. In my opinion Fassbender gave ten times the acting job that George Clooney did but was left out of the Academy Awards because of Hollywood politics.
What would I ask Charlize Theron: When will she please play another character like Aileen Wuornos ("Monster.") Please make another strong independent film instead of all these big studio mainstream movies. -
Προμηθεύς, "Forethinker"
Charlize Theron & Michael Fassbender
If ever able to travel the Universe, would you do so willingly , with the knowing to return safely to Earth as we know it?,
Would either of you as individuals, dare to challenge any threatening species from the Universe, that would threaten Earth and all life, plants and animals, with the possibly of never returning , but resolving any possibility of such a conflict?,
If you ever had a chance to go to the Moon or Mars, or travel the solar system, just for the day to explore, would you make it so?, maybe even go to mars to shoot on location for new movie?,
Prometheus of the Greeks Gods was a champion for the humans over his own superiority, Would yourselves as well with the powers that be, be willing to share with the many of the lesser so humbled?,
We are ourselves, already to more powerful of all creatures being, Is there anything we can do now to share our powers with all creatures and their environment, to help them understand or learn us as caring beings,
What are some of the barriers between us and small creatures of the is planet, and unknown life forms in the Universe, and are we knowledgeable, skilled, intuitive, or instinctive enough to partake communicating or interacting civilly with unknowns?,
If both of you could partake together, in another movie, maybe science fiction, maybe romance, or a biography, suitable and fitting, what would it be?

I have been a fan of Michael Fassbender since I seen him 'Fish Tank'. I think he is a real good upcoming actor and I also think he will be announced as the new James Bond.
Charlize Theron: Why do you act like such a rebellious whore? And isn't it true that your acting career was riding on the coattails of Apartheid?
Michael Fassbender: I've never heard of you and your last name is weird. -
If I had to pick a question to ask Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender, I guess it'd have to be:
If you had to pick one outfit out of any futuristic/super hero movies that you've made (i.e Michael-X-Men First Class, Charlize-Æon Flux) to wear on a date, which one would it be?
I would ask this because everyone wants to know about how the film was made, what it was like working with each other, why did you pick this movie, things like that, but what really intrigues me is the costume design. Prometheus has some cool space outfits, so I really want to know which one out of all of them that they think is the best. I don't know, I think it'd be cool to find out. -
For Michael Fassbender, I would ask which of his previous roles is his favourite. I'm a big fan of his and I've seen almost all his films, and I've loved him in each one. My favourite, however, is in Inglourious Basterds--I'm curious as to know which one he loves?
For Charlize Theron, I would ask whether she would consider returning to more indie movies, like Monster, my favourite movie with her by far, or whether she is quite content with mainstream blockbusters. -
Does anyone survive in this film, Prometheus?
I would ask a question to Michael Fassbender because even though I don't relate to all of his filmography, he's probably the most talented actor nowadays who's believable in every single part he plays.
Hello there Michael, this is a hard time for people who are striving to make a living out of the film industry when they are no "sons of" and when they are more interested in telling a story than looking for a profit to make. Were there times where you felt it was too hard and you had to quit? And if so, how did you overcome this? Last but not least, if a "nobody" sends you a script that hasn't found financing yet, would you read it and be willing to star in it – in your overbooked schedule?
Keep going the b***** good work! -

My questions is, if Charlize Theron was to ask MIcheal Fassbender out on a date would you (Micheal Fassbender) say yes? And if he says no would he go out on a date with me? :-D
I would like the pleasure of asking Michael Fassbender...
As a child did you think you would be this big or even star in the roles that you've done?
Do you ever watch the movies you've been in especially the naked roles? what do you think of it? How do you feel about it?
As for Charlize Theron...
Is this role different from the others that you've played? Was it more of a challenge?
How was it working with Michael Fassbender? Was it fun? -
I'd like to ask Michael Fassbender a question please.
What genre of movie is your personal favourite? You've been in a lot of films of different genres, from horror to sci-fi, fantasy action to romance, but when on the other side of the camera - watching the film - which genre do you tend to gravitate toward?
P.S Congratulations on brilliant Top Gear lap! -
To Michael Fassbender :
You've played Magneto in "X-men First Class" and now David in "Prometheus".
Did you chose these roles because you enjoy science fiction ? And would you like to have other roles in this kind of movie ?
And what is actually the kind of movie you enjoy the most to play in : big productions, as "Prometheus", or rather more intimate films ?
(I'm sorry for my english, as I'm french in fact !) -
You have a very diverse filmography to say the least. My question is, of all the films you have acted in, which has been your favorite roll to play?
Also, of all the movies that you have been in, which is your favorite as a veiwer?Source(s):
Your are an amazing actor and I look forward to all you coming films... -
Have you seen the brilliant Australian production 2:37 ? if not , why not , this is a lesson in pure and inspiring acting.

I'd ask Charli if she'd go on a date with me cz It may be the only chance I ever get.
I'd like to know who they look up to.
I'd ask them both,
If you had the chance to have 2 guests at your dinner party, doesn't matter if they're still living or dead. Who would you invite and why? -
Questions for Michael:
What convinced you to accept this role?
Are you excited to be one of the jury with Ridley Scott in "Your Film Festival" in Venice?
hello from Venice :) -
My question is simple.
How does Ridley Scott compare to other directors?Source(s):
I would ask them if they can see the world, not just their minds filled with their movies.
I would ask them if they were happy.
and they would think that they are.
and perhaps they would be, to an extent. But not truly happy.
And I would tell them, that Fake smiles used a thousand times become worn out and broken.
I would ask and tell, and they would sit on their high throne made of cloud, and they would not reply.
But when you sit in the clouds, you can't see the world below.
And it's a difficult task, to teach the blind to see.
Well I will not bow to a God made of glass. -
Honestly I hardly know of them yet I geuss my question would be well when you were kids or now do you like water rides..the ones from europe or america? this question makes me curious to know not sure why..well i geuss becasue i like water rides..
I'd ask Charlize how playing Aileen Wuornos (in Monster) has change her.
i would ask who are you, because i don't know who the are...
I would ask them to give me $500,000 AUS each so that I can buy a new pair of shoes and a hamburger.
For both: (What did you think of the
performance of you in movie? ) -
I would ask them who they are
I would ask them ,"Who are you both"
I have heard of Kony , Julia Gillard, Anna Bligh. Obama, Elvis and John Lennon But sorry I don't know you both. "Please explain the real you."

New OS to get partnered with new tablets at CES 2011
Microsoft tablets to launch with Windows 8 at CES 2011
Microsoft is preparing to launch a range of tablet devices running a brand new Windows 8 OS at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show 2011, new reports from the New York Times suggests The New York Times quotes an unnamed source in a report declaring the arrival of Windows 8 on own-branded Microsoft tablets as well as tablet devices from both Samsung and Dell. Rumours have surrounded the arrival of Windows 8 following criticism to the strength of Windows 7 as a touchscreen tablet user interface. Whilst these comments have yet to be officially confirmed or denied by Microsoft and the other mooted tablet providers, the Samsung branded device has been described by another NYT source as: "similar in size and shape to the Apple iPad, although it is not as thin." The unnamed loudmouth went on to add: "It also includes a unique and slick keyboard that slides out from below for easy typing." Stay tuned to T3.com for all the latest live from CES 2011 early in January and sign up to the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds to let us know what features you would most like to see on the mooted Windows 8 OS.

To Teleconference or Not To Teleconference, that Is the Question! 4. October 2007 Maranda Gibson Conference Calls (0) There is a lot of talk these days about how people should be doing more conference calling to save money. We all know, however, that there are some things you just can't do or information you just can't get in a conference call that you can in a face-to-face meeting. Below are some considerations to think about when deciding on whether you really need a face-to-face or whether a conference call or videoconference will do. Consider the purpose of getting these people together and what you hope to achieve. Examine all your communication options and whether a conference call is the best way to get what you need to have a successful meeting. Maybe what needs to be done can just be done by email or in an email chat room? Ask yourself, does it really need a fully facilitated meeting? Does the meeting goal depend on observing body language or high levels of personal interaction, trust, and relationship building? How many people will be involved? Remember that if you have 12 people involved, each person only has, on average, 5 minutes to speak. Don't engage people if they are not going to participate. How highly dependent is the content on visual images that you need to walk your participants through. Will it be detrimental if they can't see what is going on? If you have a highly distributed group you are getting together, what will be the effect of different time zones on people being able to be there and alert. This is an increasingly more important consideration as more businesses go global. Once you know the answers to these questions, you can then determine whether it is a plain vanilla teleconferencing that is needed, or a video conference, or a real face-to-face meeting.
Building Relationships: The Power of Audio, Web and Videoconferencing 17. September 2007 Maranda Gibson Conference Calls, Video Conferencing, Web Conferencing (0) Nothing is more important than the relationships a company builds with its customers and partners. To foster these relationships, larger companies sometimes have annual conferences where people from across the country come together to meet each other, catch up on new company products and services, and learn new ways to use the company's system. These usually cost quite a bit of money for both the company and the participants. Although nothing beats a good physical face-to-face conference, just in terms of time and money it is not something that can be done more than once every year or two. And, getting together with key clients and partners only once every year or two to fill them in on what's going on is just not sufficient to build a real relationship. What some companies have decided to do is to still offer the once-a-year physical meeting, but to augment them with quarterly web meetings that are similar to their large conferences, but smaller in scope (50 to 75 people) and that target different market niches and that use audio and video tools to provide interaction between parties. Due to the more intimate nature of the web meetings over the physical get together, this becomes a venue to find out how clients are actually using the product and its features and get them to share what they are doing and what they are finding out about it. It also proves to be a great vehicle to brainstorm and troubleshoot with clients about products under development; and provides a great way to find out what the client's priorities are for new products, allowing the meeting convener to better prioritize product enhancements or new product releases.
Scheduling Your Webinar: When is the Best Time? 11. September 2007 Maranda Gibson Conference Calls, Web Conferencing (0) Because webinars don't require people to go anywhere, there's a lot of flexibility in deciding when they can be scheduled. Most presenters have not adjusted to this brave new world of freedom or the kind of things they need to think about when scheduling their webinar. Sometimes the best time for a webinar is completely counter to when you think the best time for a face-to-face seminar should be held. First, and this you would think is the most obvious, is to be sure you arrange your webinar so that it works with the time zone in which your attendees live. Depending on whether you are looking for a national or international audience, you may need to think, about scheduling your webinar twice. Believe it or not, industry surveys have found out that if you are targeting professionals, Mondays and Fridays generally have good attendance, not what you would think. But these are bad days if your target is the support staff. Also summer months and holiday weeks, like the beginning of the week of Thanksgiving or the week between Christmas and New Year can work well, though scheduling can again depend on your target audience. For example if you are looking to attract express delivery people, anytime two months before Christmas is off limits. Because other meetings usually begin and end on the hour, start your webinar at a quarter after the hour and end on the hour or an hour and a half later. This lets your attendees get back from their previous meeting and get ready and lets them finish your webinar before they have to get to their next meeting. Try to avoid the lunch hour. The best times to consider are generally 10 A.M. and 2 P.M. because people are already at work, generally no matter how late their workday starts, and your webinar will be over before those who come in early have to go home.
Second Life: The Brave New World of Team Conferencing 8. August 2007 AccuConference Conference Calls (0) The world of virtual conferencing is changing and I have seen the future! Just as email radically changed how businesses and people communicate, virtual conferencing is going to revolutionize the conferencing industry. You can see the embryonic stages of this if you go to Second Life on the Internet and log on. Second Life is a virtual world created by Linden Research where people create digital entities, also known as avatars, that interact in real time by voice, if you have a microphone, or via keyboarding if you don't. Since it went online in 2003, more than a million users have joined and the number is growing dramatically each year. It is a place where you can own property, create a business, start your own radio station, earn real money, and…… hold meetings and seminars. In fact there are hundreds of groups from 12-steppers to government agencies to businesses like Toyota and IBM that are opening up shop and holding meetings and information sessions there now. Although manipulating an avatar takes still takes some getting used to, so it is not something that will be in the conferencing mainstream for some time yet. Because you can move freely though the virtual world as you talk with the other people in your conversation, this exciting new technology promises to fill the gap between the static videoconferencing environment and the face-to-face meeting or site visit.
Conference Call Etiquette: More Do's and Don'ts 7. August 2007 AccuConference Conference Calls (0) People are funny. Things they would never do in public, they have no compunction doing in private; and this applies to conference calling as well. Almost without exception, people who end up being disruptive in conference calls are completely unaware of what they are doing and would be appalled if they knew the negative impact they were having. As we noted previously, good conference call etiquette requires you behave on a teleconference as you would in a face-to-face meeting. The list of unintentional but annoying behaviors you can experience (and have probably done yourself) on a conference call are legion, but most boil down into three categories. Good conference call etiquette and maintaining that all-important professional image requires the following. Do not do other work. It is always a great temptation to multitask when no one can see you. A conference call needs your undivided attention and your respect for the other participants just like a regular face-to-face meeting does. If you are shuffling papers, or typing, or distracted by doing other things, other people on the line can hear it and from your responses tell you are not paying full attention. It is best to keep the meeting agenda in view and take notes on what is being said to minimize having your mind wander. Do not eat during the call. Few things are more off-putting than hearing someone chewing, smacking their lips, or swallowing over the phone. Resist the temptation to eat or drink through a straw just because you think no one can see you do it. One way or another, you will give yourself away and this will not project the kind of professionalism or respect for your colleagues that you need to. There will be plenty of time to eat after your call is over. Wait your turn. Interrupting people is the bane of conference call etiquette. It is not only rude, but on a teleconference, it is confusing to others who are listening because it makes what both people are saying unintelligible. Wait until the other person is done talking before you speak, or wait until you are called on by the host before expressing your opinion. By following these and the other rules for good conference call etiquette we discussed previously, you will improve the effectiveness of any call you participate in, as well as project the respect you have for your colleagues and their time, as well as the kind of image you want the other people on the line to take home and remember you by.
Conference Call Etiquette: Making the Right Impression 6. August 2007 AccuConference Conference Calls (0) Conference call etiquette is as important as conference room etiquette. Everyone knows that in a meeting with their colleagues, manager, or customer in the conference room, they need to pay attention, be polite, participate, and not do anything disruptive. The same holds true for conference calls. Below is how you can insure you have good conference call etiquette during a teleconference so you and the other people on the call get the most from the conversation and so you project the same profession image you would if you were in a face-to-face meeting with a room full of important people. Be on time. No one likes latecomers, their late arrival disrupts the conversation and commonly someone needs to recap where the conversation is to get the person up to speed. Being late is one of the most egregious of all conference call etiquette faux pas. Do not participate in or listen in on a call unless you are officially invited. The presence of "mystery guests" or uninvited participants is the second biggest breach of conference call etiquette. Because no one can see who is around and listening to what they are saying, participants need to trust that they are only talking to the people they know they are supposed to be speaking with. Just as people might not talk to a customer the same way they would talk to the team or their boss, participants have to know who it is that is listening and talking so they can express themselves appropriately and speak as frankly or diplomatically as required. Trust on the part of all participants in a teleconference is a MUST and you need to respect that. Introduce yourself at the outset. Tell people (a) your name, so people will know who you are. (b) Your location, if you are in a different building or city or what your department is, so people can visually place you. (c) Your role: salesperson, accountant, public relations representative, so people know your expertise, what you do, and what you bring to the table. And, last but not least, (d) your reason for being the conversation: e.g., "to help solve our marketing problem" or "to learn about what the problem is and try and get the project back on schedule". Conference call etiquette requires that other people on the line know who they are taking to and why. Tell who you are each time you speak. Another important part of good conference call etiquette is to remind other participants of who you are when you have something to say. Unless the conference call host has already called you by name, when you speak you should mention your name and something else about you to help people remember you (e.g., "This is John in sales and I feel that…." or "This is Simone in London, my perspective is…"). By following these four rules for good conference call etiquette, you will improve the effectiveness of any call you participate in, as well as project the kind of image you want the other people on the line to take home and remember you by. Common pitfalls that too many of us have experienced and that you need to avoid are discussed in our next blog.
Conference Calling: The Hardware Makes All the Difference – Part 2 3. August 2007 AccuConference Conference Calls (0) Given the demands of the modern business climate and our fast-paced 24/7 society, sometimes you just can't control where you are when you have to attend a scheduled conference call. Here are important tips to let you maximize your effectiveness and cause the least disruption when you can't be in the best of locations for that all important teleconference. If you're on the road and must use a cell phone, find a place where your signal is strong and pull over and don't move the car until the call is over. If you are in an airport, find a bank of land-line phones and handle your call from there. That way, if the phone you are on is having problems, you can switch to another one in the matter of a minute or less. Use the mute button on your phone or the teleconferencing mute function to mute your line when you are not talking. It is best to eliminate the sound coming from your phone voice transmitter unless you are speaking. Using the mute eliminates any distracting background sounds from the place you are calling from or that you might make inadvertently. The only time you need to be heard is when you are speaking. Do not use your phone in speakerphone mode unless there are other people in the room that need to be in on the conversation. Speakerphones pick up all kinds of extraneous noise and have bad sound quality. Also, if you are in a room with others and sitting far from the phone, be sure to speak loud enough to be heard. This is particularly true for men. Men's voices tend to be lower in frequency than women's voices and not carry as well when there is background noise. Also, if you are in a teleconference where a number of people are in the same phone and you are speaking over a speakerphone, make sure not to carry on any side conversations during the call. No matter how quietly you think you are talking or whispering, other people in the room and on the conference call will likely hear what you are saying.
Conference Calling: The Hardware Makes All the Difference – Part 1 2. August 2007 AccuConference Conference Calls (0) Good conference call etiquette requires not only that, as a participant, you comport yourself in the discussion in a professional manner, but also that you show you're a pro by not being the cause of any unnecessary hardware disruptions. You can always control your own behavior, but what about that of the equipment you're using? In terms of hardware, there are always going to be things that are out of your control. You may not always be able to be alone in a nice quiet office with the door closed, you might have to be on travel, your phone might be on the fritz, or you might be in a large group clustered around a speakerphone. Whatever the case, with some thought and knowing what the most likely problems are, you can minimize a lot of the distractions on a conference call that come from what you're using, as opposed to what you're saying or how you're saying it. Below are two things to keep in mind for your next teleconference. If at all possible use a telephone with a land line, not a cordless phone, cell phone, or computer telephony (i.e., a phone that used Voice Over IP). The reason for this is that a land-line telephone has the highest quality sound with the least amount of static, cutting in and out, latency, jitter, echo, or other issues that degrade voice quality and the ability of others on the call to understand you. You can't leave a good impression if your phone is the one causing a lot of technical problems for the group. If you get a bad connection, tell the host you're going to hang up and call in again to see if you can get a better connection. Nine times out of ten, this corrects any problems. Nothing is more annoying or distracting than to be stuck in an hour long teleconference when one person's phone is generating a lot of static or when there is an echo every time you speak.
Web Out-Dial Now Available: 29. June 2007 AccuConference Conference Calls (0) You're about to start a conference call and "Forgetful Frank" still hasn't arrive. Usually you call to remind him but this time it's different. You look at the live call screen and notice an inconspicuous box located on the left hand side. It's the web out-dial box and you intuitively know what it's for. You type in Frank's phone number and click "GO" to see what happens. You continue talking as if nothing has happened. Seconds later, Frank's bellowing voice greets everyone on the call. Amazingly your meeting starts on time. Allow me to explain this time-saving feature. The AccuConference Web Out-Dial is an automated calling application that is controlled by your computer that invites participants to join a conference call. The system can dial your entire contact list separately or all at once. When your participants pick up their phone they receive three options: Press 1 > to join the conference Press 2 > to be called back in 5 minutes Press 3 > to decline this invitation The Web Out-Dial is like conference call cruise control… simply hit the button and then sit back to relax. No longer will your participants need to remember the exact time or codes for your call. Bo ost your conference call attendance and save time. Visit our conference call features page to find out more about Web Out-Dial.
More ways to make (and save) money with conference calling 28. June 2007 AccuConference Conference Calls (0) 1. Sell your consulting services – meet with multiple people at the same time to maximize your time. Provide exclusive access by creating customized passcodes that expire after every use. 2. Host a special event – find a guest speaker that your customers would pay to hear. It could be a sales guro or motivational speaker, an author, politician, or industry spokesperson. Use online registration pages to track attendance and to distribute codes. 3. Record your calls – download your high-profile conference call recordings and make them available on CD for a price. The CD could contain sales and marketing strategies, industry-specific consulting, or be a recording of a popular guest speaker. 4. Blast-dial an important announcement –coming soon, this feature will automatically dial a list of phone numbers. This will let you pre-record important announcement and mass distribute them to current or prospective clients. This in turn will boost your inbound call volume and generate traffic to your website. 5. "Cold-Conference" prospective clients – Invite a list of prospective clients to an exclusive conference call. Provide them valuable information and then top it off with a lucrative sales pitch. 6. Reduce unnecessary business travel – Avoid paying for accommodations, transportation and eating out. 7. Use 800 forwarding – toll free forwarding ensures you never miss an important sales call. Having a toll free number will also increase your call volume and give your company a larger geographic reach. 8. Increase sales – connect with your sales force, regardless of location. Use conference calling to follow-up on prospective leads. Record your sales pitches for training and customer quality.

GamesIndustry.biz reports that 35,000 DS Lite units were sold during the handheld's debut weekend in the UK. By comparison, 87,000 units of the original DS (or 'DS Phat') were sold during its UK launch.
Meanwhile, as the DS Lite was being released across Europe, Nintendo UK was busy affirming its commitment to DS Phat, which saw a sales surge two weeks ago in Japan. "We're still committed to the old DS as long as there's demand," said a Nintendo UK spokesperson. "Don't forget that the Pink and Blue DS units are only available in the old model, which account for a large percentage of our sales to girls." Of course, if current rumors are to be trusted, DS Lite will get pretty in pink as early as July.

are my words poetic enough for you?maybe not.because i will never be the fire-hearted girl with remedial stardust lips,dancing with the astral wolves that hunt beneath her moon-kissed skin,with the courage to plant wilting lilacs into every crippled soul she finds.but what if they were?then i would be the ink blots coating the archives of humankind,the fractured jewel tucked away in a catastrophic dragon's chest,and the lyric every mismatched bone engraves into their marrow.if only.
The voice called himI feel so cold,so alone.As she lashes out again,A sharpness in her tone.Why won't someone help?My ears begin to ring.I can't cry anymore.The words lose their sting.I know I am nothing.I don't need her to say so.I already want to leave.I'm fighting the urge to go.She can't hurt me.The strongest hate is within.The voice that loves to torture.The voice I call "him"He tells me to die,that no one wants me here.I know that he's right.I shed another tear.I'd leave but I'm afraid.Afraid to go to hell.So I listen to him,and curl up in my shell.
About HateWhen hate is a fire, then it's burning cold.All consuming, raging uncontrolled.Hot tears are burning in eyes and on skin,Unable to calm the storm within.The consumptive flame turns from red to white.Burns down borders between wrong and right,Disoriented reason leads astray.Lined with ash and debris is the way.Beneath the heat of raging fire is ice,For firstly the cold did heat entice.When freezing the heart in its icy grip.The shell won't melt, won't break or rip.
Heartbrokensilent tears cascade down my faceI breathe your nameA whisper, a sigh, i cryHow was i to know that kiss would be my lastHow was i to know i would never again find sanctuary in your armsI long for sleep but it never comes, no reliefThe grasping, aching pain in my chest never subsidesI turn awayClosing my eyes to rememberI smile,then die a little insidei thought we were meant to be together,against all the oddsHow wrong was i?A pang of jealousy, a twisted smileThe trigger takes on many formsAll i really want to say is,i love you.Still.
To Die Without A NameDon't you think it's awfulTo die without a name?To have no one remember youBecause we're all the same?You're just another dead bodyIn a large mass graveThousands upon thousandsAnd nobody was savedYou're nothing nowJust skin and bonesWith a storyThat no one knowsYou're dust on the windAsh in the airNo one can see youNot one person caresNow you're goneAnd no one can sayThat you loathed and you lovedAnd you lived everyday
Never Bow Down. (Failure In Denial)Your poisoned words are your weapon of choice,Paralyzing me with just the sound of your voice.Whispering your lies and getting under my skin,But I can see right through you 'cause you're so paper thin!Are you really so heartless?Behind your lies is there any truth?Can you tell I don't want this!?I will never bow down to you!You say across my skin is where my short comings compile,And that my scars remind you I'm a failure in denial!No matter what you've always had the upper hand,Holding me under for reasons none understand!GOD DAMN!!Are you really so heartless?Behind your lies is there any truth?Can you tell I don't want this!?And that I'll never Bow Down
HeartbrokenI lent you my heartand you let it fallIt didnt bouncelike it was a ballSometimes I wonder:how is it able to beat at all?from so many times that I haveheard it fallI hope you knowWhat you have doneThat most of my loveis forever gone

Hindu group criticizes Pope for 'challenging pluralism'. (World).
NEW DELHI -- Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a right-wing Hindu group that is closely tied to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, has accused Pope John Paul II of challenging the country's pluralism with his remarks against anti-conversion laws in the country (NCR World Briefs, June 6) and has asked the government to register a protest with the Holy See.A spokesman for the group, Ram Madhav, told a news conference June 6 the pope's statement was "misplaced" and amounted to "a total disregard for India's cultural plurality."
Madhav justified the laws against conversion as necessary, alleging that Christian missioners have been "aggressively wooing the poor with allurements." He said Christian missionaries cause "tensions" and pose "a serious threat to peace and harmony" in India.
Vishwa Hindu Parishad, the World Hindu Council, considered the religious wing of the RSS, also criticized the pope.
Under the Indian Constitution, the country is secular and treats all religions equally. The RSS leads the movement to make India a Hindu nation. Opposition parties and others accuse the Vishwa Hindu Parishad of carrying out attacks on Christians and Muslims.
