A recent trend in the techniques of digital image scrambling encryption is that the algorithms become more and more complex, but their performances are not improved much more. We presented a simple one-dimensional random scrambling method and applied it to image encryption. First, we transformed the image into a one-dimensional vector. And then we did the one-dimensional random scrambling for this vector. Finally, we did reverse transformation on this scrambled vector and got the encrypted image. Compared with Arnold transform, this method is very simple for realizing by software or hardware. It doesn't require iterative computation, and can bring a better result after being executed one time or twice. The experimental results show that the algorithm is effective and has better efficiency and steady scrambling degree than Arnold transform.

Codes of ethics and standards of practice are set forth by professional associations such as the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the National Association of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors (NAADAC). Such codes define principles of ethical behavior required by the profession. Additionally, treatment centers such as the Hazelden Foundation defines requirements for employees designed to ensure consistent ethical behavior across the organization (Hazelden.org). However, practicing as a professional also requires judgment, ethical decision-making, and regular introspection and clarification of a personal code of ethics.
The effective helper is one who has a sense of self-awareness, an investigative approach, a desire to strive for competence, emotional objectivity, and facilitative attitudes and values. Self-awareness refers to a counselor having insight into who they are, what is important to them, their unique gifts, and limitations they bring into a helping relationship. From a Twelve Step perspective, this involves a regular, Step Ten, personal inventory (Alcoholics Anonymous, Basic Text, 1995). The counselor needs to be cognizant of the power differential in the counselor: patient relationship and "avoid actions that seek to meet personal needs at the expense of clients" (ACA, A.5)
To be effective, the counselor must take regular stock of their attitudes and values. Employees of Hazelden are required to provide "fair and just practices" and to treat all patients with "dignity and respect". As a professional member of ACA and NAADAC, the counselor is commitment to "avoid imposing (their) own values on clients" (ACA, A.5) and to "espouse objectivity and integrity" (NAADAC, 2). This means practicing patience, tolerance, and unconditional regard for each individual client and being cognizant of personal views, which, in many cases, are shaped by a Euro-American, protestant, middle-class, traditional, nuclear family cultural experience.
This is especially important as counseling is rooted in and reflects the dominant values of the larger society, thus reflecting a primarily Eurocentric worldview. As a result, treatment has the potential to represent cultural oppression and cause harm to clients. In 1991, the Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development called upon the counseling profession to minimize this risk by adopting ethical standards that would encourage the development of competencies in multicultural counseling. The present Code of Ethics of the National Association of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors stipulates that the counselor not discriminate against clients based on race, religion, age, gender, disability, national ancestry, sexual orientation, or economic condition (NAADAC, 2001). While the standard is clear, the competencies required to fulfill the expectation are less so. The lack of clarity is exemplified by, and due in part to, the inconsistent and confusing terminology such as culturally appropriate, multicultural, ethnically sensitive, and cultural diversity. A unifying construct is required for conceptualizing the problem at an individual level and for identifying and implementing solutions.
The therapeutic relationship between client and addiction counselor is a special one based upon mutual respect and trust. Both are enhanced by the counsellor's consistent attention to such ethical considerations. An ethical breach stands to irrevocably destroy trust. With addiction being a potentially fatal disease, full compliance with all ethical considerations on the part of the therapist or counselor then becomes a matter of life and death.

AMERICA/MEXICO - Another 100 dengue cases have been registered in one week
Monterrey (Agenzia Fides) - Until the end of September about two thousand cases of dengue were recorded in the State of Nuevo León. This was stated by local Ministry of Health that has launched an alert for at least another 100 new cases. Among the main causes of the epidemic is the humidity left by torrential rains in the municipalities, and the hurricane "Ingrid". This is an increase of nearly nine times greater than the levels of 2010, after the hurricane "Alex", when 226 cases of infection were recorded. Health authorities have urged the population emphasizing the importance of cleaning and removal of waste from homes in order to control the disease. (AP) (Agenzia Fides 04/10/2013)

The hotel is standard for South Beach area hotels. The Continental breakfast is a joke, but the daily happy hour is cool. Other than that my stay was awesome, they offer amenities such as beach towels and beach chairs for free! All of the staff was competent except for one older man who works the desk late at night, but what do you expect for the late shift. If you are a younger person who is looking for more of a party atmosphere stay at places like the chesterfield or places like that. Otherwise this was a nice hotel situated conveniently between the heart of Ocean Dr. area and the clubs located further North in South Beach.

Its ideal for student or budget travellers which many of the guests were. They charge $200 security deposit on check-in..which was duly refunded on check-out. But it was a surprise to be hit with it and kind of intimated that guests were given to partying and doing damage to rooms. Very basic indeed. But location is superb. Not a good choice for business traveller though.

Camel leather in Abu Dhabi
We find out about eco-friendly camel-hide leather 1 Comments
- Picture 1 of 2
Camels have long been a Bedouin's best friend, providing food, clothing, transportation, shelter and protection, and becoming a symbol of reliability and resilience in the harsh Arabian climate. Former UAE president and ruler of Abu Dhabi HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan wanted to take this one step further, building the Al Khaznah tannery almost eight years ago to transform local camel hides into finished leather. His vision only came into fruition two years ago, when the tannery began operating – it now supplies businesses across the UAE, including furniture design company Mira Designs in Dubai.
As well as creating butter-soft leather in all manner of colours and finishes, Al Khaznah's products are biodegradable and produced using environmentally friendly and sustainable methods. And it's not just local suppliers that are benefitting: the tannery's unique techniques have ensured it is now on its way to supplying camel leather to some of Paris's famous fashion houses.
For all these reasons and more, we paid a visit to Al Khaznah, where we learned about the unique leather and tanning processes from general manager Jean-Marie Gigante. With a background in chemical engineering, specialising in leather science, the Frenchman has worked in the leather industry for more than 30 years across Europe, Africa and Asia; before moving to the UAE, he was MD for the Hermès tannery in France. He's also the man who revived Sheikh Zayed's camel-leather vision and took it to a new level.
What was the motivation for producing biodegradable and eco-friendly leather?
The tanning industry has always been seen as polluting. Until 15 years ago, water from tanneries in Europe and the UK was being disposed of without treatment right into the ocean. Throughout my career I've always tried to improve environmental performance, either in the tanneries I've run or as a consultant in the leather industry. What we've achieved at Al Khaznah is the conclusion of all those years of work trying to minimise our impact on the environment.
Can you tell us about tanning?
Tanning involves stabilising the protein structure [of the hide] that would otherwise rot. There are many ways of tanning leather. The traditional way is using wood barks and extracts, what we call vegetable tanning. Then we moved into chrome tanning, where the leather is treated with chromium salts – a technique used by 90 percent of the leather industry because it gives the best performance. But when chrome-tanned leather is disposed of, it still contains chromium salts. If it's incinerated, as it tends to be, the chromium salt turns into a chromium compound that's extremely toxic and carcinogencic.
So you don't use chromium in your tanning process?
We don't. We've developed a new way of preserving the skins that avoids using chromium salts, yet still allows us to get the same performance and results as traditional chrome-tanned leathers. Many tanneries have been working on this for years because, until now, nothing was up to the standard of the chromium-tanned leathers.
How do you do it?
We use only natural products and a secret recipe that I've developed over the past decade. The leather technology can be compared to cooking: it involves long recipes and a lengthy transformation process. At Al Khaznah we only use sustainable ingredients. The result is leather that can biodegrade within six months. That's the real breakthrough. I think we're the only ones that have developed biodegradable leather that can also meet the highest standards of performance – it can even be used in aircrafts.
Does the treatment process normally cause pollution?
It would in a standard operation. But we use only hazard-free chemicals, and all our waste is recycled. We have a water recycling system where the water is used, treated, polished and then injected back into the process. We've really demonstrated responsibility and tried to minimise our environmental impact.
The tannery is open Sun-Thu 8.30am-3.30pm. Behind Al Khaznah Palace,Abu Dhabi, firstname.lastname@example.com (02 566 2000).

Worst Experience of my Travel Life! NOT "5-star"
An Absolutely Horrid place!
Everything was wrong from the moment of the arrival. The "welcome room" was highly over-exaggagerated. We were treated like cattle, placed on a filthy bus and subjected to one of the most frightening rides ever. The welcome from the staff was cool and they seemed bothered by our arrival. No instruction was ever given about anything...the activities were scheduled but never came to fruition (We'd show up and none of the staff would be there).
The room was dirty, the beds (yes...two twins pushed together....NOT a king) full of fleas nightly, the jacuzzi filter had a hairball the size of my palm, the hand shower was broken, the balcony door was broken.
The food was "okay" but not "Five star" at all. Very much like any buffet in any travel city in the United States (NO seafood to speak of). There were ALWAYS flies and gnats on the food and everyone responded to minor requests at a snails pace.
Please note...if you have ANY disability or special dietary needs...this place is DANGEROUS for you!!!
I cannot stress enough....unless you want to drink from sun up to sundown, or enjoy sun sports...this is NOT the place to go. It is a HUGE amount of money for a vacation that does not deliver on its promises.
Unique Quality: If you get up efore they "Rake" the beaches....the beach view is beautiful.
one of Negril's best resorts
When you first arrive you are greeted with a mimosa.
The rooms are very spacious with a shower and a jacuzzi style tub.
Champagne and chocolates are waiting for you when first come to your room.
The beach was beautiful
I was there for a wedding which was the best the sunset during the ceremony was unforgettable. The wedding there free!!
I definitely recommend this place to people getting married or just your honeymoon.
Unique Quality: Great views of the beach
Great dining facilities
24 hour room service
Great food !!
Luxury All-Inclusive Resort
This luxury property is for adults 18 years and older. It offers fine dining, 24 hour food service, great Junior Suite and One-bedroom suite accommodations, and all the land & water sports imagineable.
Unique Quality: The resort is located in Bloody Bay, which protects it from the strong winds of the sea. The beach runs the length of the property, and is white sand.
The rooms are all suites or junior suites, complete with king beds, sitting areas, large baths, and satellite TVs. Room service is available 24 hours a day, and the food is excellent!
The MY Zein, Princess Graces' honeymoon yacht, offers complimentary cruises for resort guests.

Just returned end of May, 2013 which is the slower, off season. Don't believe all the "fantastic" comments, as this is an older resort, just starting on renovations. (imagine older hotel on Miami South Beach - nice, but old) Also don't believe the "worst ever" comments, it was not that bad. They have a saying, "It's Jamaica Mon", which explains a lot. During the off season, the staff was pretty good at handling most requests. Some bars are closed, and main bar is not open all night, but late enough and the drinks are full strength and great. Food during daytime at the regular buffet was adequate, plenty of it, but not a huge selection in off season. Stay away from Jerk Scrambled Eggs, mixed with fish and bones. The omelets were awesome! See what I mean? Not real great, but not real bad. Dinner (reservations) at 4 theme restaurants was great, and you'll have to dress. Get out those flowered shirts. The landscaping was nice, with lots of colorful flowers and well maintained, but it's not the Ritz, ok? Every building has 2 floors and .every room faces the ocean, some just farther back. Looking at the ocean, the right side is the Beach View/ Garden area - real pretty with approx 50+ feet of nice grass between you and some palm trees and then the real nice beach. Since it is set back, that puts it closer to the main road and the traffic noise, (but road is hidden by trees and stone wall). (You will NOT spend a lot of day time in your room and late at night there is no more noise, ok?) It's about a 5 min pleasant walk to main building in center, not bad. The buildings close to center and farther left are called Ocean View, with little to no beach, or jagged rocks and boulders and a few trees to break up the monotony of just ocean, but the water is like 20 feet from your back door or balcony. This is the nude beach - all middle aged, and not a pretty sight, but don't mind them. ha. If you room here, it's closer to main building (bar/restaurants) and the ocean is right there in front of you. The one outstanding feature about this place was the security - they are everywhere, and real friendly. You don't wear wrist band here, so if you want to walk up the beach to other resorts, you sign out at security booth and then sign back in, so they'll know who you are. It's a nice walk and the 1st resort to your right, past the Garden/Beach view villas is called Couples. OMG!!! (no pictures allowed). This is a remote area of island, but there is a convenience store and a flee market (10 min walk up past Couples) with a couple dozen souvenir booths. Bought a real nice, hand made, $15 dollar Panama Hat with a Purple Hat Band for only $7. (similar hat at resort gift shop is $40 and no haggling)
Sure, there are nicer, more modern, deluxe resorts on this remote stretch of beach, but, if you end up here at the Grand Lido because of last minute reservations, etc., just go and enjoy and it's Jamaica Mon. I give it an Average, and I had a good time. OH, bring a 16oz double wall tumbler with lid and straw. (chuckle) Ask any bartender for a rum drink and to surprise you. You won't be disappointed.
My wife and I kust returned from our tenth trip to this resort.
We are never going back.
When we first came in 1998, the place was top-notch: 24/7 room service. all night jacuzzi bars, friendly staff. We kept returning even though a lot of these amenities were dropped. It was not sustainable with the economy. However, the entertainment staff, which used to be filled with a lot of vibrant youngsters who sung, danced, and interacted with the guests, have been replaced with some really unfriendly individuals who would rather you shut up and listen to them sing (occasionally not too well). When I had brought up to one of the directors that these kids seemed allof and did not really engage the guests like before, these kids treated us like pariahs. They would get up and leave if my wife joined an activity (and I was the one who complained! She never said a word!). Renee, Francois, and Miguel really should learn that they should insult their guests in private. They had taken to speaking patois around us. Unfortunately, I understand a bit, and did not appreciate what they were telling the other staff.
I truly hope that whomever buys this sorry shell of a luxury resort fix things up a bit; at least so that the jacuzzis would operate,a nd we could get a hold of a decent beach towel because these objects seenm to be more valuable than gold. The pianist at the bar seems to have many excuses as to why he is not coming in. For eight years, we thought he was an urban legend. Every time we would stop to see him we were told he wouldn't be there that night. If you like karaoke, then this is not the place. If the machine is broke, the staff isn't going to rush to fix it. It just means more time to have you sit there and listen to them prance and warble.
The DJ at the Atlantis these days has all the charm of a Gila Monster with a really bad hemorrhoid. I honestly think he is physically incapable of smiling!
Whatever your concern might be. don't bother to bring it to management. The one I was directed to, Miss Moore, was good at sitting there and listening to you, but she will only inflame matters as it seems she will firectly inform the staff who complained. This is why were were as welcome as tuberculosis.
Bitter? Maybe, but this is the review of a person who has been here ten times. There are some charms to keep us coming back. However, the above mentioned indivduals (and others like them) have proved their point. We are gone now, and we will never trouble them again.
A traveler would be best served to invest their vacation dollars more wisely at another resort.

Artist uses 282,000 matchsticks to build scale model of the ISS
May 9, 2014
During the construction of the International Space Station (ISS), material selection was critical given the extreme environment of space. Chances are that one of those materials up for consideration was not matchsticks. But for Pat Acton of Iowa, the idea of designing and building a complete scale model of the ISS out of matchsticks seemed like a perfectly reasonable idea.
Recently completed by Acton, the wooden ISS is as impressive in size as it is in detail. Comprised of 282,000 matchsticks, the 1/26 scale model required 8 gal (30 L) of glue and took roughly 1,950 hours to complete. Whereas the actual ISS measures out at 108.5 m (356 ft) wide and 72.8 m (239 ft) long, Acton's scaled down version measures out at an impressive 4.1 m (13.5 ft) and 2.8 m (9.2 ft) wide. Solar arrays, trusses, communication components, and even the Space Shuttle Atlantis, are all there in intricate detail.
But in addition to the primary module and its related bits, Acton also went ahead and built two 1/13 scale models of astronaut living/working spaces. The two cutaway models show in great detail interior elements, including science racks and related work areas, the toilet, sleeping areas, storage spaces, computer stations, and other amenities found in the ISS modules. The Russian Zvesda module, along with the European Space Agency's ATV cargo transport module, will be displayed on the floor, while the scale model ISS hangs from the ceiling.
Acton, who now sources his flameless matchsticks from the Ohio Blue Tip Company, learned that he could not only bend the sticks using needle nose pliers, but that it was possible to build sheets of the singular wooden pieces using a Plexiglas sheet and glue. Once the glue has dried, Acton peels the matchstick sheet from the Plexiglas and shapes it for larger surfaces or forms it into structural pieces.
Acton's ISS matchstick model can be seen at the Matchstick Marvel Museum in Gladbrook, Iowa. In addition to the International Space Station, Acton has also built scale models of the Hogwarts Castle from Harry Potter, the Notre Dame Cathedral, the One World Trade Center and the city of Minas Tirith from the Lord of the Rings.

Solid wood slab fronts on Ikea cabinets?
pumpkinhouseOctober 2, 2013
I've been told this is a bad idea because they will warp. Is this because the Ikea cabinets are frameless and there isn't much space between fronts?
Fori is not pleased
No, but solid wood doors do have more of a tendency to warp than other styles. It doesn't matter what cabinets they're on.

It isn't the classic nursery rhyme but it is what students may learn this year as school budgets across the country are gutted.
From Oshkosh, Wis. to Puyallup, Wash., schools will suffer the axe this year as districts and states continue to grapple with big budget holes due to the recession.
The Oshkosh School District, for example, is debating the closure of middle and elementary schools, larger classes and culling around 35 positions, according to WLUK-TV in Green Bay.
Oshkosh's problems arose after Wisconsin ended the fiscal year with a $2.71 budget gap. Varying by state and district, schools are usually funded by a combination of local, state and federal money.
Thousands of miles away, the Puyallup School District faces a 21 percent budget cut that could result in layoffs, larger classes and a possible school closing, according The News Tribune in Tacoma, Wash. Continue Reading

George Timothy Clooney (born May 6, 1961) is an American actor, filmmaker and activist. He has received three Golden Globe Awards for his work as an actor and two Academy Awards, one for acting and the other for producing.
Clooney made his acting debut on television in 1978, and later gained wide recognition in his role as Dr. Doug Ross on the long-running medical drama ER from 1994 to 1999, for which he received two Emmy Award nominations. While working on ER, he began attracting a variety of leading roles in films, including Batman & Robin (1997) and Out of Sight (1998), in which he first worked with long-time collaborator Steven Soderbergh. In 1999, Clooney took the lead role in Three Kings, a well-received war satire set during the Gulf War.
In 2001, Clooney's fame widened with the release of his biggest commercial success, Ocean's Eleven, the first of the film trilogy, a remake of the 1960 film with Frank Sinatra as Danny Ocean. He made his directorial debut a year later with the biographical thriller Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, and has since directed Good Night, and Good Luck (2005), Leatherheads (2008), The Ides of March (2011), and The Monuments Men (2014).
He won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the Middle East thriller Syriana (2005), and subsequently earned Best Actor nominations for Michael Clayton (2007), Up in the Air (2009) and The Descendants (2011). In 2013, he received the Academy Award for Best Picture for producing the film Argo, alongside Ben Affleck and Grant Heslov. He is the only person ever to be nominated for Academy Awards in six categories.[1]
Clooney has been described as one of the most beautiful men in the world.[2][3] In 2005, TV Guide ranked Clooney No. 1 on its "50 Sexiest Stars of All Time" list.[4] In 2009, he was included in Time's annual Time 100 as one of the "Most Influential People in the World".[5] Clooney is also noted for his political activism and has served as one of the United Nations Messengers of Peace since January 31, 2008.[6][7][8] His humanitarian work includes his advocacy of finding a resolution for the Darfur conflict, raising funds for the 2010 Haiti earthquake, 2004 Tsunami, and 9/11 victims, and creating documentaries such as Sand and Sorrow to raise awareness about international crises. He is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.[9]
Clooney was born in Lexington, Kentucky, in 1961.[10][11][12] His mother, Nina Bruce (née Warren),[13] was a beauty pageant queen and city councilwoman. His father, Nick Clooney, is a former anchorman, game show host, and hosted AMC for five years in the late 90s.[14] Clooney has mainly Irish and some German ancestry.[15] His maternal four times great-grandmother, Mary Ann Sparrow, was the half-sister of Nancy Hanks (the mother of President Abraham Lincoln).[16][17] Clooney has an older sister named Adelia (known as Ada).[18] His aunt was the famed cabaret singer and actress Rosemary Clooney.[19] His cousin Gabriel Ferrer is married to singer Debby Boone.[20]
Clooney was raised a strict Roman Catholic,[21] but has said he does not know if he believes in Heaven, or even God.[22] He has said, "Yes, we were Catholic, big time, whole family, whole group."[23] He began his education at the Blessed Sacrament School in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky. Spending part of his childhood in Ohio, he attended St. Michael's School in Columbus; then Western Row Elementary School (a public school) in Mason, Ohio, from 1968 to 1974; and St. Susanna School in Mason, where he served as an altar boy. The Clooneys moved back to Kentucky when George was midway through the seventh grade.[24] In middle school, Clooney developed Bell's palsy, a condition that partially paralyzes the face. The malady went away within a year. In an interview with Larry King, he stated that "yes, it goes away. It takes about nine months to go away. It was the first year of high school, which was a bad time for having half your face paralyzed."[23]
After his parents moved to Augusta, Kentucky, Clooney attended Augusta High School. He has stated that he earned all As and a B in school,[25] and was an enthusiastic baseball and basketball player. He tried out to play professional baseball with the Cincinnati Reds in 1977, but he did not pass the first round of player cuts, and was not offered a contract.[26] He attended Northern Kentucky University from 1979 to 1981, majoring in Broadcast Journalism, and very briefly attended the University of Cincinnati, but did not graduate from either.[27] He made money selling women's shoes, insurance door-to-door, stocking shelves, working construction, and cutting tobacco.[22][28]

Clooney's first role was as an extra in the television mini-series Centennial in 1978, which was based on the novel of the same name by James A. Michener, and was partly filmed in Clooney's hometown of Augusta, Kentucky.[29][30] Clooney's first major role came in 1984 in the short-lived sitcom E/R (not to be confused with ER, the better-known hospital drama, on which Clooney also co-starred a decade later). He played a handyman on the series The Facts of Life, and appeared as Bobby Hopkins, a detective, on an episode of The Golden Girls. His first prominent role was a semi-regular supporting role in the sitcom Roseanne, playing Roseanne Barr's supervisor Booker Brooks, followed by the role of a construction worker on Baby Talk, a co-starring role on the CBS drama Bodies of Evidence as Detective Ryan Walker, and then a year-long turn as Det. James Falconer on Sisters. In 1988, Clooney also played a role in Return of the Killer Tomatoes.[31] During this period Clooney was a student at the Beverly Hills Playhouse acting school for five years.[32]
Clooney rose to fame when he played Dr. Doug Ross, alongside Anthony Edwards, Julianna Margulies, and Noah Wyle, on the hit NBC drama ER from 1994 to 1999. After leaving the series in 1999, he made a cameo appearance in the 6th season and returned for a guest spot in the show's final season.[33] For his work on the series, Clooney received two Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series in 1995 and 1996.[34][35] He also earned three Golden Globe Award nominations for Best Actor – Television Series Drama in 1995, 1996, and 1997 (losing to co-star Anthony Edwards).[36][37]
Clooney began appearing in films while working on ER. His first major Hollywood role was in From Dusk till Dawn, directed by Robert Rodriguez. He followed its success with One Fine Day with Michelle Pfeiffer, and The Peacemaker with Nicole Kidman. Clooney was then cast as Batman in Joel Schumacher's Batman & Robin, which was a modest box office performer, but a critical failure (with Clooney himself calling the film "a waste of money"). In 1998, he co-starred in Out of Sight opposite Jennifer Lopez, marking the first of his many collaborations with director Steven Soderbergh. He also starred in Three Kings during the last weeks of his contract with ER.[citation needed]
After leaving ER, Clooney starred in the commercially successful films The Perfect Storm and O Brother, Where Art Thou?. In 2001, he teamed up with Soderbergh again for Ocean's Eleven, a remake of the 1960s Rat Pack film of the same name. As of 2011, it was Clooney's most successful film, earning more than $450 million worldwide.[39] The film spawned two sequels starring Clooney, Ocean's Twelve in 2004 and Ocean's Thirteen in 2007.[citation needed]
In 2001, Clooney and Soderbergh co-founded Section Eight Productions, for which Grant Heslov was president of television. Clooney made his directorial debut in the 2002 film Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, based on the autobiography of TV producer Chuck Barris. Though the film didn't do well at the box office, Clooney's direction showed promise.[40]
In 2005, Clooney starred in Syriana, which was based loosely on former Central Intelligence Agency agent Robert Baer's memoirs of his service in the Middle East. He suffered an accident on the set of Syriana, which caused a brain injury with complications from a punctured dura.[41] The same year he directed, produced, and starred in Good Night, and Good Luck, a film about 1950s television journalist Edward R. Murrow's famous war of words with Senator Joseph McCarthy. At the 2006 Academy Awards, Clooney was nominated for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay for Good Night, and Good Luck, as well as Best Supporting Actor for Syriana. He won the Oscar for his role in Syriana.
Clooney next appeared in The Good German (2006), a film noir directed by Soderbergh that is set in post-World War II Germany. In August 2006, Clooney and Heslov started the production company Smokehouse Pictures. In October 2006, Clooney received the American Cinematheque Award, which honors someone in the entertainment industry who has made "a significant contribution to the art of motion pictures".[42] On January 22, 2008, Clooney was nominated for an Academy Award (and many other awards) for Best Actor for Michael Clayton (2007). Later that year, he directed his third film, Leatherheads, in which he also starred. On April 4, 2008, Variety reported that Clooney had quietly resigned from the Writers Guild of America over a dispute concerning Leatherheads. Clooney, who is the director, producer, and star of the film, claimed that he had contributed in writing "all but two scenes" of it, and requested a writing credit alongside Duncan Brantley and Rick Reilly, who had worked on the screenplay for 17 years. Clooney lost an arbitration vote 2–1, and withdrew from the union over the decision. He became a "financial core status" non-member, meaning he no longer has voting rights, and cannot run for office or attend membership meetings, according to the WGA's constitution.[43]
He next co-starred with Ewan McGregor and Kevin Spacey in The Men Who Stare At Goats, which was directed by Heslov and released in November 2009. Also in November 2009, he voiced Mr. Fox in Wes Anderson's animated feature Fantastic Mr. Fox. The same year, Clooney starred in Up in the Air, which was initially given limited release, and then wide-released on December 25, 2009. For his performance in the film, which was directed by Jason Reitman, he was nominated for a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors Guild Award, BAFTA, and an Academy Award.[citation needed] 2010 saw the release of The American, based on the novel A Very Private Gentleman by Martin Booth and directed by Anton Corbijn. Clooney played the lead role, and was a co-producer of the film.[citation needed]
As of 2011, Clooney is represented by Bryan Lourd, co-chairman of Creative Artists Agency (CAA).[44] In 2011 Clooney starred in The Descendants as a husband whose wife has an accident that leaves her in a coma. He earned critical praise for his work, and won the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Actor and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama. Also, he was nominated for the Screen Actors Guild for Best Actor, the BAFTA Award for Best Actor, and the Academy Award for Best Actor. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Ides of March.[citation needed]
In 2013, Clooney won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture - Drama, the BAFTA Award for Best Picture and the Academy Award for Best Picture for producing Argo. He is the only person in Academy Award history to be nominated for Oscars in six different categories: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay.[citation needed]
Clooney co-starred with Sandra Bullock in Gravity (2013), a science fiction film directed by Alfonso Cuarón.[45] He co-wrote, directed and starred in The Monuments Men, an adaption of The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History by Robert M. Edsel.[46] Clooney also produced August: Osage County (2013), an adaptation of the play of the same name. The film stars Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts.[47]
Clooney supported Barack Obama's campaign in the 2008 presidential election[48] and in the 2012 presidential election.[49] He is a supporter of gay rights.[50] In 2003, he opposed the Iraq war, saying, "You can't beat your enemy anymore through wars; instead you create an entire generation of people seeking revenge... Our opponents are going to resort to car bombs and suicide attacks because they have no other way to win... I believe [Donald Rumsfeld] thinks this is a war that can be won, but there is no such thing anymore. We can't beat anyone anymore."[51]
Clooney is involved with Not On Our Watch Project, an organization that focuses global attention and resources to stop and prevent mass atrocities, along with Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, David Pressman, and Jerry Weintraub.[52]
In February 2009, he visited Goz Beida, Chad, with NY Times columnist Nicholas D. Kristof.[53] In January 2010, he organized the Telethon Hope for Haiti Now,[54] which collected donations for the 2010 Haiti earthquake victims.[citation needed]
In March 2012, Clooney was featured with Martin Sheen and Brad Pitt in a performance of Dustin Lance Black's play, '8'—a staged reenactment of the federal trial that overturned California's Prop 8 ban on same-sex marriage—as attorney David Boies.[55] The production was held at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre and broadcast on YouTube to raise money for the American Foundation for Equal Rights.[56][57] In September 2012, Clooney offered to take an auction winner out to lunch to benefit the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). GLSEN works to create a safe space in schools for children who are or may be perceived to be gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.[58]
Clooney has advocated a resolution of the Darfur conflict.[59] He spoke at a 2006 Save Darfur rally in Washington, D.C. In April 2006, he spent ten days in Chad and Sudan with his father to make the TV special "A Journey to Darfur" reflecting the situation of Darfur's refugees, and advocated for action. The documentary was broadcast on American cable TV as well as in the UK and France. In 2008, it was released on DVD with the sale proceeds being donated to the International Rescue Committee.[60][61][62][63] In September of the same year, he spoke to the UN Security Council with Nobel Prize-winner Elie Wiesel to ask the UN to find a solution to the conflict and to help the people of Darfur.[64] In December, he visited China and Egypt with Don Cheadle and two Olympic winners to ask both governments to pressure Sudan's government.[65]
On March 25, 2007, he sent an open letter to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, calling on the European Union to take "decisive action" in the region given the failure of Sudan President Omar al-Bashir to respond to UN resolutions.[66] He narrated and was co-executive producer of the 2007 documentary Sand and Sorrow.[67] Clooney also appeared in the documentary film Darfur Now, a call-to-action film released in November 2007 for people all over the world to help stop the Darfur crisis.[68] In December 2007, Clooney and fellow actor Don Cheadle received the Summit Peace Award from the Nobel Peace Prize Laureates in Rome. In his acceptance speech, Clooney said that "Don and I … stand here before you as failures. The simple truth is that when it comes to the atrocities in Darfur … those people are not better off now than they were years ago."[69] On January 18, 2008, the United Nations announced Clooney's appointment as a UN messenger of peace, effective January 31.[6][7]
Clooney conceived of and, with John Prendergast, human rights activist, co-founder of the Enough Project, and Strategic Advisor for Not On Our Watch Project, initiated the Satellite Sentinel Project (SSP), after an October 2010 trip to South Sudan. SSP aims to monitor armed activity for signs of renewed civil war between Sudan and South Sudan, and to detect and deter mass atrocities along the border regions there.[70]
Clooney and John Prendergast co-wrote a Washington Post op-ed piece in May 2011, titled "Dancing with a dictator in Sudan", arguing that:[71]
President Omar al-Bashir has been indicted by the International Criminal Court for genocide, is escalating bombing and food aid obstruction in Darfur, and he now threatens the entire north-south peace process ... the evidence shows that incentives alone are insufficient to change Khartoum's calculations. International support should be sought immediately for denying debt relief, expanding the ICC indictments, diplomatically isolating the regime, suspending all non-humanitarian aid, obstructing state-controlled bank transactions and freezing accounts holding oil wealth diverted by senior regime officials.
On March 16, 2012, Clooney was arrested outside the Sudanese Embassy for civil disobedience.[72][73] He intended to be arrested when he planned the protest.[73] Several other prominent participants were also arrested, including Martin Luther King III.[73]
Clooney was married to actress Talia Balsam from 1989 to 1993. He also had a relationship with actress Ginger Lynn Allen. After meeting British model Lisa Snowdon in 2000, he had a five-year on-again, off-again relationship with her.[74] In June 2007, he started dating reality personality Sarah Larson, but the couple broke up in May 2008.[75] In July 2009, Clooney was in a relationship with Italian actress Elisabetta Canalis until they split in June 2011.[76][77] In July 2011, Clooney started dating former WWE Diva Stacy Keibler,[78] and they ended their relationship in July 2013.[79] Clooney has also dated actresses Kelly Preston (1987–1989), Renée Zellweger (2001) and Krista Allen (2002–2008) as well as French reality TV personality Céline Balitran (1996–1999).[80][81]
Clooney became engaged to British-Lebanese human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin on April 28, 2014, as confirmed by a representative at Alamuddin's chambers Doughty Street Chambers.[82][83] In July 2014, Clooney publicly criticized the British tabloid newspaper the Daily Mail after it claimed his fiancée's mother opposes their marriage on religious grounds.[84] When the tabloid apologized for its false story, Clooney refused to accept the apology. He called the paper "the worst kind of tabloid. One that makes up its facts to the detriment of its readers."[85] On August 7, 2014, Clooney and Alamuddin obtained marriage licenses at the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea of the United Kingdom.[86] Alamuddin and Clooney were officially married on September 27, 2014 at Ca' Farsetti.[87] They were married by Clooney's friend Walter Veltroni, the former mayor of Rome.[88]
Clooney's main home is in Los Angeles. He purchased the 7,354-square-foot (683.2 m2) house in 1995 through his George Guifoyle Trust. His home in Italy is in the village of Laglio, on Lake Como,[89] near the former residence of Italian author Ada Negri.[90] Clooney also maintains a home in Los Cabos, Mexico that is next door to the home of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber.[91]
In 2014, George Clooney and his new British wife Amal Alamuddin bought the Mill House on an island in the River Thames at Sonning Eye in England[92] at a cost of around £10 million.[93]
On September 21, 2007, Clooney and then-girlfriend Sarah Larson were injured in a motorcycle accident in Weehawken, New Jersey. Clooney's motorcycle was hit by a car. The driver of the car reported that Clooney attempted to pass him on the right,[94] while Clooney said that the driver signaled left and then decided to make an abrupt right turn and clipped his motorcycle. On October 9, 2007, more than two dozen staff at the hospital were suspended without pay for looking at Clooney's medical records in violation of federal law.[95]
Clooney has appeared in commercials outside the US for Fiat, Nespresso, and Martini vermouth.[96][97][98] Clooney was named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2007, 2008, and 2009.[99][100][101]
He was parodied in the South Park episode "Smug Alert!", which mocks his acceptance speech at the 78th Academy Awards. However, Clooney has also lent his voice to South Park as Sparky the Dog in "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride" and as the emergency room doctor in South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. Clooney was caricatured in the American Dad! episode Tears of a Clooney, in which Francine sees her plan to destroy him materialize.[102]
Throughout his career, Clooney has won two Academy Awards, one for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Syriana[103] and one for Best Picture as one of the producers for Argo, as well as a BAFTA and a Golden Globe. For his role in The Descendants, he won a Golden Globe Award[104] and was nominated for an Academy Award, BAFTA Award, Satellite Award, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards: Best Lead Actor and Best Cast.[105]

Our guide, Marta, was fantastically knowledgeable and able to answer any of our questions. There is so much to see at the Vatican that her help was invaluable in pointing out what was particularly interesting and in negotiating the vast area. The historical details and entertaining anecdotes that she provided along the way hugely enriched our experience and kept our children entertained.
I'm so glad we took this tour. It was worth the money to have someone as knowledgeable and courteous as Valentina guide us through the museums. She took the time to explain the history and anecdotes behind the works of art and sculpture. Absolutely amazing trip that was made more meaningful with a guide to take us through it.
Don't go to the museums on your own unless you have studied the art and history of the Vatican, it's well worth going with a tour guide so you are able to appreciate it.
The most convenient part of this tour- you really do skip the queues. That's such a relief when you look at the crowds!
Thank you Valentina!
Excellent! Earbuds not as good as earphones but it worked out o.k. because our guide spoke up.
Caroline J
Worth every penny. Other tours had 50-60 people, it was s nice to have our own guide. Rosanna was great. She not only knew all the details about everything in and around the Vatican, she also knew the best places to stand and shortcuts in and around the crowds. Highly recommend.
We really enjoyed our tour, Sarah our guild was out standing, all up an great tour.
Our guide was amazing. If you can imagine a line wrapped for three blocks and we didn't have to wait in any of it. It was spectacular.
Our private tour guide Elizabeth did a wonderful job of explaining the key attractions and features within the Vatican. It was pricey but worth it for my wife and I to enjoy the Vatican at our own pace
I have already recommended this tour. Our guide was amazing, The line up was truly truly long (I'm guessing it would have taken most of the day just to get in) but we skipped it thanks to booking this tour, and were in and on our way in less than 1/2 hour. There is a lot to see and I think we needed more time... But since our time in Rome was limited I felt we saw a lot and got a true sense of the place, it history and it's importance.
Thank-you for an amazing experience
Our private guide was professional, knowledgable and highly effective at navigating us through the crowded museum. I would recommend her services to anyone.
Tour was awesome!! So much history and great commentary!! Thank you Stephanie!!
Our guide Inuko (not sure of spelling of her name. She was of South Korean origin, a Master in Art History and currently writing an art history book), was phenomenal. Her breath and depth of knowledge was truly amazing. Her enthusiasm about each work of art helped us to appreciate everything even more. Before we saw some of the major works, she sat down and reviewed details with a poster of the work (example-Michaelangelo ceiling). So when we went in we actually really understood the meaning behind the works. It made a big difference. She helped us avoid all lines and even in crowded rooms she knew how to get us right up to the front. I would highly recommend this private tour. Especially with the wonderful woman we had.
My husband and I had an amazing tour of the Vatican Museums. Stephanie was full of information, answered all of our questions and we literally skipped every line saving a TON of time in the July heat! Not only did she point out all of the great details and historic information on the tour but she directed us where to go, shortcuts, the "rules" of the museums and saved us time wondering and possible frustration. There was no question we asked she couldn't answer. I was 6 months pregnant at the time and she was so considerate of pointing out bathrooms, finding me space to sit when possible, and making sure I was OK with all of the walking. We definitely felt the VIP experience. Well worth the money, I would highly recommend.
awesome tour, it was really no wait, no line, even through security quick , our guide , Ituko was so passionate about her job, even took family photos for us, worth every penny !!!!!
Awesome tour. Our guide was fantastic. Elizabetha was very proffesional and had a great working knowledge of the Vatican. The private tour is the only way to go. It was worth spending the extra money to have this magnificent experience. We navagated around the large tour groups very easily.
Excellent tour guide who managed to bridge the generation gap between us and our grown children. She was very knowledgeable and pleasant to have with us. I only wish the Vatican had better crowd control.

@Borra. Grats on the monk. Off server transfer? Or local?
You guys are going to set a record for most server transfers in a 10 man guild.
Hopefully it'll make the difference for you guys. Best of luck to y'all.
You guys are going to set a record for most server transfers in a 10 man guild.
Pugs don't last forever. At least you were a loot !@#$% while it lasted. /jelly
to be honest though, i think 2 pieces actually dropped;
the rest were from coins, or pvp.
I can't consider a raider hardcore unless they went out of their way and farmed pvp gear. Since pvp gear is viable for raiding, anyone who didn't get conquest capped and got gear is only hindering their raid for progression.
The PVP gear was only up for a day before it was nerfed to 458. Same with the PVP trinkets (they didn't make it to live with primary stats on them).
Planting motes with tillers now is really nice...
Only like...3 raiders are originally from shandris. Everyone else was not here until at soonest a month or two before 5.0.4.
So Just, you diggin how OP monk heals are as much as I am? IDK about you, but putting out 6% of Garajal's health while still maintaining high HPS is nerf worthy.
I don't feel like I can really speak on being as op as you are yet. You are way more geared than me, actually. I'm still rocking some 458s and only a couple epics. I've only received one piece of gear in a full reg clear, 2x Sha of Anger, and 3 extra loot tokens. I got boots off Elegon. That's it.
When I get as geared as you guys, I will see what kind of numbers I'm able to maintain. Until then, I'll just have to take your word for it, I'm afraid.
I'm personally looking forward to Gara'jal next week. It has been interesting doing progression on only 12-hours a week, especially when <healerchat> has forced our competition to go to 25-hour raid weeks to match our progress (which to be honest means they're no longer competing with us).
Yeah you guys are really giving Mad reach something to work for, funny how Skull Crew thought they could come in and get easy server firsts but their members are too busy trading TCG cards.
And progress slower.... Slavemachine is getting grumpy =(
3 dps in 25man is equivelant to about 1 dps in 10man, what I like about 25mans is its more forgiving on bad pulls or little screw ups even when they will make you ultimately not kill the boss, it makes it so you can see more of the fight each time whereas on 10man its a bit more like this to me-
"Our healers dead, keep it going for a little bit long...Nvm we have 4 dps down.
Sub, Blizzard has been failing at designing 25 man content since Wrath imo. Ulduar was the last instance where I felt 25 man was close to unique. And then on top of that the fights are the damn exact same thing! Really Blizzard? I enjoyed BC raiding because SSC/TK/Gruul/Mag/BT/SWP/MH was NOT ZA/Kara. Kara and ZA were nice getaways from 25 mans(sometimes even lived for bear runs...oh when bear tanking was fun to me!). Yes, we could have had more 10 man content, but that's beside the point in this issue. I really wish they'd actually make the boss fights completely different. Different mechanics, abilities, etc. It would give more reason to having 10s AND 25s. However, it would seem Blizzard would rather watch 25s die a slow painful death. Guess some of us should just relegate the past to the past though right? The idea of having two separate fights is too complex for Blizzard. /endrant.
When that happens to us, and I'm the only healer up, I secretly refuse to wipe, and just solo heal it until I'm completely oom, or the boss dies. It's really hard for me to see people taking damage and resist the urge to heal it. I just can't do it. Sometimes it gets me in trouble. Sorry I'm not sorry.
That awkward moment when your other healer dies, your raid leader says, "wipe it up" and you pop all your CDs. It's not my fault. I can't stop myself. Sorry I'm not sorry.
That's when I'm glad most of mine have 2-3 min CDs. HAHA
