Richard Linklater Explains His Secret Movie Boyhood

The film is a mixed bag, almost by design. As the director cuts between these unrelated stories seemingly at random, the Roman streets emerge as the most concrete linking thread: They're a labyrinth for the highly archetypal characters to get lost in and come out the other side transformed. In Midnight, an impatient Owen Wilson had to wait until after after-dinner drinks to access the city's magical possibilities. In Rome, the strange, the unexplainable and the impossible all happen in broad daylight. The film has a waking-dream logic that remains ambiguous throughout—Allen himself is not necessarily sure which aspects of the film are memories and fantasies, or even in which character's head certain scenes are playing out. "We never fixed it," he says. "We never knew."
Chock-full of actors unknown to mainstream American audiences, acting in Italian (only the Page/Eisenberg/Baldwin thread is fully in English), Rome represents a higher degree of difficulty than anything Allen has done in a while. But while shooting big conceptually and technically, Allen retreads a lot of familiar territory. Cruz's inconvenient hooker plotline was funnier and more effective in Deconstructing Harry (which itself could be categorized as a revisiting of . . . wait for it . . . Stardust Memories). This wouldn't be a problem if Rome were consistently hilarious, but some of the humor is so stale that I occasionally wondered if the movie was supposed to be set in the present day. (A "boxers or briefs" joke? Really, Woody?)
Within this uneven stew, the Page/Eisenberg/Baldwin thread is truly the standout, giving Rome both its biggest laughs and its most substantive pangs of poignancy, creating a solid bedrock for the rest of the film to bounce off.
It's in Page's vignette that Allen really shows his gift for directing through inspired casting. Before she appears onscreen, Page's Monica is described by her best friend, Sally, as a man-magnet "because of the sexual vibe she gives off." That "vibe" is not necessarily natural, and anyway, what's more significant is the way aspiring-actress Monica gives it off. In one scene, she forces her bedroom bravado on Sally and her boyfriend, Jack, via a long, after-dinner monologue on her past exploits ("As great as the orgasms were with Victoria, they were a lot stronger with Jamal").
One of the meta-jokes of Rome is that the closest thing to unbridled passion occurs between the characters played by Page and Eisenberg—hardly the stereotypical bombshell and lothario. When Page (who is incredibly tiny in person, with a slip of a voice that barely registers) first read the part, she tells Allen, "I was a little taken aback by the fact that you wanted to cast me as the floozy, you know?"
"That I wanted to what?" Allen responds, as if not sure he heard his soft-spoken star correctly—did she just say "floozy"?
"That you wanted to cast me in this role," Page explains. "I just felt like it was very foreign to what I'm used to being seen as. So it was a wonderful opportunity, but I also felt very intimidated and insecure. And I remember we talked on the phone—"
"We did speak, but we didn't speak long," Allen interjects.
"We didn't speak long, and you were basically, like, 'Don't—why are you—don't talk about it. Like, it's actually okay.'"
"To me, you seemed perfect for it. I had no reservations whatsoever," Allen says. "I mean, you never sit down and talk about the characters. I don't really know the answers to those questions."
Cruz remembers when she first worked with Allen, on Vicky Cristina Barcelona. "I went up to him one morning with my book of notes on the character, and he looked at me like I was totally crazy," she says. "I even had some drawings that expressed the anguish and the suffering of the character, and he was laughing at me. But he always does it in a way that would never make me feel bad about it. That's the way he works."
"You cast great people, and you leave them alone," Allen says. "They do what they do, then you look good, you take credit for directing them. But the truth of the matter is, you give them almost no direction."
* * *
Fittingly for Allen's first film set in the Eternal City, Rome is kind of a mixtape of his eternal themes. The segment in which Allen stars is all about the fear of death, the impulse to find life's validation in creative work and the folly of that impulse—in essence, Ozymandias Melancholia in practice. Benigni's segment, and the portion of the Cruz storyline in which the small-town wife is farcically wooed by a famous actor, deal with the false but powerful aura of fame. In both stories, the famous are treated as exempt from the rules that govern the rest of us. They could use this power to do anything; they mostly use it to get laid.
"The only good thing I've found about becoming well-known, famous, whatever you want to call it, is I was able to break down the myth of fame," Cruz says. "Truly realizing that it's the most impermanent and absurd and nonexistent thing. It's just an illusion."

Reinstall Bootcamp
In the past I installed Vista RC1 under Bootcamp. I also had XP installed under Parallels. I have since deleted the Vista install and restored the disk to a single OSX partition.
Now that Parallels will support using the Bootcamp partition as it's Windows install I would like to reinstall Bootcamp and XP so I can dual boot if needed and still run Windows under Parallels as well.
I get an error when using the Bootcamp Assistant telling me I can't install to a restored single partition.
Is there any way around this with a third party partition tool? I would rather not reinstall OSX and all of my applications.
I have also upgraded the HDD using Carbon Coply Cloner to move my old OSX image onto the bigger drive. This was after I removed the Bootcamp Vista partition so I guess whatever remains of it was moved over in the cloning process. This leads me to believe I'll need to backup individual directories and reformat the disk before reinstalling OSX.
Sounds like a lot of work.
Does anyone have a better strategy to get where I want to be?
I think Dualbooting to XP will help with my main Windows only app (Yahoo Music Unlimited syncing a Sandisk Sansa). Parallels USB support is janky and causes no end of problem in the sync process. I think booting directly into XP would solve this problem.
Thanks for any help-

One thing that has become clear about Sandy Alderson. He was hired primarily to be a human pinata, someone to stand out front and explain away the absurdity of a Wilpon owned Mets team. This offseason it's becoming difficult for Sandy to do his job, as many of his original excuses have reached their expiration date. The contracts he inherited have rolled off the books, and it's getting harder every day to blame the present on the past.
The problem for Sandy is people actually want the team to improve on the field. The nerve! Anyway, we haven't done a Top Ten in a while, and he seems to be running out of things to say. And I always want to help if I can. So, here we go, Sandy, my Top Ten New Excuses. You can have them all.
10. I work for Jeff Wilpon!
9. You try to trade Ike Davis.
8. When I went to stack those five dollar bills, I found out it was all Confederate money.
7. A lot of people think JayZ is with Boyz II Men.
6. It's Ruben Tejada's fault (oh wait, this isn't so new.)
5. I hadn't realized collusion was over.
4. When we did spend it was on Ricciardi and DePodesta.
3. Whether we have a winning team will depend upon your definition of "winning."
2. It's sad that fans are not happy with a crappy losing team.
1. We could build a team, or build a mall. We picked the mall.

A White Bear Lake man has admitted to being involved in multiple burglaries in Lino Lakes, including one where a handgun was stolen and then sold for drugs.
According to the criminal complaint, a homeowner on the 2200 block of Tele Drive in Lino Lakes reported a burglary on Saturday, March 23. He said someone broke into his attached garage and took several sets of car keys and a .40 caliber handgun with three magazines while he was asleep.
A homeowner across the street also said someone broke the window to a vehicle a stole a garage opener.
Evidence linked the burglaries to a stolen credit card that was used several times throughout Ramsey County, according to the criminal complaint.
Surveillance footage revealed that one of the suspects involved was 30-year-old James Lee Zemlicka of White Bear Lake, according to the criminal complaint. He admitted to being involved in multiple burglaries in Lino Lakes, including the one on Tele Drive. He also admitted to selling the handgun for drugs.
Zemlicka has been charged with both first and second degree burglary as well as theft. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison and $35,000 in fines on the first degree charge, up to 10 years in prison and $20,000 in fines on the second degree charge, and up to 20 years in prison and $100,000 in fines on the theft charge.

Despite lingering uncertainty over the domestic league, national team coach Nil Maizar is pushing forward with preparations for the Asean Football Federation Suzuki Cup.
After a friendly against Valencia on Saturday, the senior side resumed its training camp in Jakarta. It will play several warm-up matches prior to the regional championship. The Merah Putih have a busy schedule in September, when the team is scheduled to play five matches.
"I presented my program to the PSSI two weeks ago, and I run the camp based on my program," Nil said on Wednesday, referring to the Indonesian Football Association. "So far, we have friendly matches against North Korea, the Philippines and Vietnam. If there's a schedule change, the PSSI should inform me."
Recently, national team coordinator Bob Hippy said the PSSI scheduled the senior side to play Espanyol B, the Philippines, North Korea and Vietnam in September. The match against Espanyol B is scheduled for Sept. 5, while the North Korea match is part of the SCTV Cup on Sept. 10.
Five days later, the Philippines will pay a visit to Jakarta, and Vietnam will be a two-legged affair, with matches on Sept. 22 in Hanoi and Sept. 29 in Jakarta. The AFF Cup takes place from Nov. 24 to Dec. 22 in Thailand and Malaysia.
With five warm-up matches in hand, Nil wants to secure his players a few more opportunities on the pitch before the regional championship.
"We have endured hard times and I have to consider our difficulties when I design my program. I think we need six to eight warm-up matches prior to the AFF Cup. That's enough," Nil said.
Meanwhile, PSSI chairman Djohar Arifin Husin said his organization would protect Indonesian Super League players who joined the national team camp by providing them with new clubs and wages.
Five ISL players — Ahmad Bustomi, Bambang Pamungkas, Firman Utina, Muhamad Ridwan and Ponaryo Astaman — joined the senior side and played in the friendly against Valencia last weekend. They did so against their clubs' wishes, stemming from an ongoing dispute between the breakaway ISL and the Indonesian Premier League. No action has been taken against any of the players yet.
"The most important thing is players won't be neglected. The PSSI will do anything to help them," Djohar told state news agency Antara.
He also welcomed the interest shown by Thai Premier League clubs in Indonesian talent. "Players need assurances, so they choose to play abroad. It's good for the players and the national team," he said.
Two naturalized Indonesians — Greg Nwokolo and Victor Igbonefo — have joined TPL side Chiang Rai. BEC Tero Sasana cancelled its signing of Titus Bonai due to legal concerns.

This kind of reminds me of Shadowbane and would probably run into the same problem that Shadowbane had or did when I played at release for around year or so.
The griefing wasn't as bad as people said it would be or made it out to be. Guilds formed for protection and territory. Then came alliances for the same reason... Then it ultimately came down to, on ever single server I played, the MEGA GUILD FOR WORLD DOMINATION vs. THE OTHER MEGA GUILD FOR WORLD DOMINATION or/ vs. The Coalition of the Very, Very Numerous, but Significantly Smaller Guilds Who Don't Want to Surrender.
Whoever won griefed and chased the loser off the server.
Then the cycle started again when drama caused the winner(s) to fracture... only this time with half the server population having left.

The consequence of this is that the bandits drive the citizens out of the game and are left ganking each other until they get bored and leave in search of a game where they can gank "noobs and carebears".

Be Brief, Be Bright... Be Gone.
Conversations with my mother and dinner with my GF often work this way.
So far I hate squash, every single time I've had it, no matter what kind or how it's prepared, it tastes awfull. There is always the chance that someone will make a squash that tastes good. However I'm looking at very skeptical.
My mother often wants me to review some new exercise plan or supplement she's taking or some new age treatment she is doing. The majority of the time it is all hype and garbage, it's gotten to the point now where every time she wants me to I say no. She says why:
The answer, there is only so much time during the day to do things including researching new products. I'm not going to waste my time looking at some half-baked idea whose foundation is not only unproven but violates the things we allready know to be true. So unless there is a whole lot of research available behind it that she can allready point to, there are more constructive things I can do with that time. There is many more things to learn and know.
Same with this. I've met enough jerks in my gaming days, I know what I like and what I don't like. In my 13 years I don't think the overall community has gotten better, more players and bigger games IMO typically make the overall community worse. A game that lets other players grief, or rewards them by giving them their loot means that the game will have enough griefers to make the game unenjoyable for me, regardless of what else it offers. There are other games on the market that do offer most of what I'm looking for. So it may not be 100% positive that the game will be a griefing, gank whore paradise, but unless there is something else that controls it, I would avoid it until it shows itself to be that something else.
The purpsoe of the game is entertainment, if there is too much griefing it fails to live up to that premise.
Don't compare this to real life. Yes there are always bullies. However if I'm going to a school, regardless of the bully, the purpose is to learn something, I will leave the school when that purpose is no longer being met. Same with the game. If it isn't entertaining me, it is not serving it's purpose.
Quit worrying about other players in a game and just play.

We've already established that things like history are not anything you're concerned with, so I won't bother with that kind of silliness, but I do find this interesting:
"fear" "defeat" "bullies"
You keep shifting the argument in that direction, despite several making it clear those are not the issue. I think the bigger question here is what happened in your past experiences that you are projecting this view onto others. You seem unable to accept past, fact, history or any rational explanation, continually reverting back to this fear and bullying thing.
Why is that?

Im completely open to any game no matter how carebarish or hardcore it is because I will find a way to have fun and be successful.
I was just hoping others thought the same about themselves.

Lady with a basket of chicken eggs - caught while walking from her shed to her home and ganked by 5 well geared players with full egg loot - video plays, audience cheering. And the winner is...
Thank you, thank you everyone. I mean I knew I was griefed but WOW, the most griefed in the game?!?! I'd like to thank the people that did nothing to stop it and the people that planned it. Pre-meditation, how about pre-slackification. You big knuckleheads - here's a noogie. Oh, and to all the people behind the scenes who laughed at me when they heard the story. YOU should have this award, no really, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be up here today.

The thread title of "If a purely player-driven MMO were to come out, would you play it?" is kind of amusing, OP. Because when MMORPGs came out, they were player-driven.
*Waves to original UO*
EVE is the only one that comes to mind as the most player-driven title of the famed names out there in today's MMORPGs, and even then, it was a 2003-2004-ish release and is considered "Old School."

Back in Phantasy Star Online for the gamecube (even moreso than the DC) hackers had complete control over the game and it´s content to the point they could add and take away quests, and they could even ban or delevel people´s characters for the lulz.
This created several, unnamed "factions" where people hurdled themselves into specific "safe zones" or around a few decent hackers that prevented this from happening around themselves.
It also made it so that you words and actions mattered a lot since a rage moment to the wrong person could cost you the character or even your account.
And back then there was no such thing as "Staff" or "customer support" xD
It was an unique experience.

Look at all the complaining about the idea of getting past "soul-binding" and such to get other people involved with gear you find. It's like the developers hate the idea of players sharing stuff, and you MMORPG people bought off on it. [I no longer count myself in the crowd. Stopped the shenanigans in 2009, but do keep tabs on what the genre is up to. Maybe MMORPGs will be about... "Multiplayer" again. Who knows?]
Look at all the complaining just on the idea of expanding an MMO title to other things outside of combat. Even talk about spicing up game economies is met by hostile fire.
This is just some of the stuff, and all coming from today's "Massive Multiplayer Online*" Role Playing crowd.
A purely player-driven MMORPG wouldn't mean bringing the genre back to single player. Looking at the traits of modern MMORPGs, they already essentially are SPRPGs that require an online connection.

On the flip side, if a game of this nature operated more like Minecraft, where you could completely separate yourself from any and all griefers (unless you chose to play on an open pvp style server), I could see the game doing very well.

And you are right, i would not let bully get in my way of my entertainment, simply by playing games where they cannot affect me. That is the point.

Pro Tools 9 Essential Training with musician and producer David Franz demonstrates concepts and techniques necessary for recording, editing, mixing, and mastering in the industry-standard software for music and post-production. The course covers creating music with virtual instruments and plugins, editing with elastic audio for time and pitch manipulation, creating a musical score, and mixing with effects loops. Exercise files accompany the course.
In Pro Tools, you have a lot of control over the way the interface looks and how the windows are arranged. In this video, I'll discuss the color palette and the window arrangement features. If you choose Window > Color Palette, the color palette opens up, and you'll see that you can apply color to tracks, regions, groups and markers. If you drag the Brightness control, you can increase or decrease the brightness. Click the Apply to channel strip button right here, and you can adjust the saturation--how deep the colors are.
You'll notice here in the Tracks menu I have these two tracks highlighted. You can also see that their names are highlighted down here. When they are highlighted, I can choose to change their track color by choosing Tracks from this menu and changing the color. I actually prefer the original, so I am going to undo that. You can also go back to the default, which it's actually set out right now, or choose None, by clicking these buttons.
You can further customize the way Pro Tools handles colors by going to the Preferences. In the Display page, we have this whole section on color-coding. I personally like the defaults that we have here: the default track color-coding for just the track types and the default region color-coding for tracks and MIDI channels. But you can change them up if you like. Now let's check out the window arrangements. If you go to Window > Arrange, you can see that we can adjust how we look at the different windows in Pro Tools.
Right now, we have the Mix window open, and that's all we see, but if we choose to tile horizontal, we'll see both the Edit and the Mix on top of each other. We can tile them vertically so they are side by side, or we can cascade them, so one is in front of the other, but it's easy to switch back and forth. The color controls in the color palette are certainly nice features for a few reasons. First, the colors help to organize your session. Also making Pro Tools less bright is beneficial if you have to stare at it for many hours in a row, as many of us do.
The window arrangement options enable you to see more information on your screen at once, or simplify your workflow by only showing what you need to show at any one time. Use the color palette and window arrangements to personalize how you interact with Pro Tools.
There are currently no FAQs about Pro Tools 9 Essential Training.
Access exercise files from a button right under the course name.
Search within course videos and transcripts, and jump right to the results.
Remove icons showing you already watched videos if you want to start over.
Make the video wide, narrow, full-screen, or pop the player out of the page into its own window.
Click on text in the transcript to jump to that spot in the video. As the video plays, the relevant spot in the transcript will be highlighted.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
Surrounded by small, commercialized beaches, other all-inclusive hotels, and random bits of undeveloped land
Not quite in the Hotel Zone, note quite in Cancun, the Barcelo Costa Cancun sits along the northern-most arm that extends toward the thin Hotel Zone strip. The immediate area lacks attractions, being that it's only surrounded by other hotels and random bits of undeveloped land. A bit of a drive to the airport, it's a decent place for visitors that don't care too much about large, pristine beaches, and instead want to be relatively close to shops and the tourist-centric Cancun nightlife. Still about a 15-minute drive to Ciudad Cancun, where locals live and play, it's actually much closer than other hotels in the Hotel Zone.
The Zona Hotelera (or Hotel Zone) is the mega-resort, mega-mall area in Isla Cancun that caters to mass tourism. The nightlife is one of its main draws, as are its shops and restaurants -- but there's little of Cancun's original flavor here. To get a hint of what that is, you'll have to take a cab to Ciudad Cancun, the real downtown, where smaller, better restaurants, local shops, and quieter bars are located.
In comparison with other Hotel Zone properties, the 357-room all-inclusive Barcelo Costa features an above-average beach, decent-size pool, and pretty grounds with some palms and tropical plants. Barcelo Costa is smaller than many other mammoth all-inclusive resorts just outside Cancun, and offers guests an entertainment-centered atmosphere that can feel tired and tacky at times. For instance, giant pirate ship attractions perch right beside the resort's tiny slice of beach, and loud music pumps throughout the pool area at night. On the upside, though, rooms are spacious, airy, and bright, many with flat-screen TVs and massive marble showers.

Goodbye to
Warren Buchanan
On March 13, the State Library and Connecticut genealogical research community learned that Warren Buchanan passed away. Most who knew about his medical problems were thankful that the pain that he endured was over, but we went through our tasks knowing that we had lost a friend. On the surface, he could appear to be a supremely, unshakable skeptic and outraged member of the public. Often he stated that he could not believe that the State of Connecticut did not spend more money to preserve and make available its treasures of historical records and genealogical resources. He had the strength of conviction to stare incredulously and ask "Why not?!"
Warren channeled his energies into legislative action. He was one of the most indefatigable lobbyists on behalf of the State Library. Concerned about the condition of historical records at the State Library and in town halls, he conducted research on programs in other states supporting the preservation of archival records by creating a fund from recording fees on land recordings. He sincerely believed that Connecticut should have such a program and simply could not believe that a State as rich as Connecticut would not enact enabling legislation. Yes, his pride was hurt. Years ago, he was instrumental in persuading a State Senator to introduce a bill setting up such a fund. To him, the outcome of this legislative initiative was crucial for researchers of Connecticut family and local history. This is the third session in which a version of the original bill is under consideration. Warren Buchanan did not waste his efforts. The General Assembly has not yet approved the legislation, but many observers agree that it has its best chance of passage.
Regrettably Warren will not be around to witness the decision of the legislature or to celebrate if the bill passes. However, those who knew him will not soon forget this kind man who loved Connecticut and believed that its libraries and historical repositories were the best in the nation. He was a friend, indeed!

A report published today (14th September 2011) by the Autism Education Trust (AET) finds the current education system lacks flexibility in its approach to pupils on the autism spectrum. The research (Educational provision and outcomes for people on the autism spectrum, AET, 2011) led by Dr Kerstin Wittemeyer from the Autism Centre of Education and Research at the University of Birmingham, found that teachers are not being given enough guidance or scope to adapt the National Curriculum to include social and life skills for pupils with autism.
Moreover schools need to aim higher for their students with autism to ensure adult outcomes are positive – whether in terms of academic achievement or emotional well-bring - and pupil assessment processes should go beyond those required by the National Curriculum.
Speaking about the findings of the report, Dr Wittemeyer says,
"A central tenet of education is to equip young people with the skills to reach their full potential. Given the challenges that individuals with autism face in adult life it is vital that their education sufficiently prepares them for those challenges and, crucially, is planned with them in order they are offered the best chance of achieving their desired outcomes, whatever those outcomes may be."
The report comprises over 1,000 contributions from stakeholders including adults and children with autism, their parents / carers and education practitioners including teachers, head teachers and SENCos. Research was conducted using a literature review and via a series of surveys, interviews and focus groups with stakeholders. It is the most comprehensive study to date to consider what 'good adult outcomes' for people on the autism spectrum might look like, and the first to consider whether the current education system is able to support pupils with autism reach their goals.
The report concluded that although a 'typical' good outcome, such as employment and independence, was desired by some young people and adults as well as by parents, this was not the case for all. Only through robust and regular consultation with children and young people about their aspirations can potential outcomes be identified and prepared for.
Responding to its publication, Steve Huggett, Director of the AET, says,
"This report gives us a firm context for our current remit of developing National Autism Education Standards for all schools across England and delivering autism education training to education professionals over the next two years. Pupils with autism have ambitious goals in life and they must be supported to achieve them, alongside their peers. Schools and wider education services have a duty of care to all students and the AET hopes to be an instrumental part of improving the way pupils with autism are prepared for adult life."
Key recommendations for Government, schools and the AET:
The AET is funded by The Department for Education to develop National Autism Education Standards for all schools across England and deliver autism education training to education professionals over two years via networks based on hub schools and services. An estimated one in 100 children are on the autism spectrum meaning that all schools should be equipped to effectively teach children and young people with autism.

Bridges said he channeled the legends of country music, among them "Highwaymen" Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and Waylon Jennings, a group of hard-living musicians of whom Cash once joked from stage, "I miss those criminals, er, guys."
"Scott Cooper -- one of his first directions to me was that if Bad was a real person, then he would be the fifth Highwayman,'' Bridges said. "So that was a nice piece of direction, and of course I used all those guys as role models. I'm a buddy of Kris's."
Cooper previously sought the elusive rights to the life of troubled country icon Merle Haggard. Haggard's mythos stretches from the late 1950s -- when he spent three years in San Quentin prison -- through last year, when Haggard played two triumphant shows following lung cancer surgery. Haggard's anthemic ballads have been covered by everyone from The Everly Brothers to the Grateful Dead.
Cooper "wanted to make Merle Haggard's story, but Merle Haggard has a bevy of wives himself…ex-wives I should say,'' Bridges said, smiling. "It's tough to get the rights to Merle's story, so he came across this wonderful book called 'Crazy Heart' written by Thomas Cobb, and [Cooper] figured, well, he's a big fan of country music and he could use elements of all of his favorite country musicians in the character of Bad."
Bridges said it took time to achieve a pitch-perfect portrait of a man in free-fall. And it wasn't easy.
"It's fun for a couple weeks to remove the governor and just eat whatever you want to eat and drink whatever you want to drink,'' he said. "That's fun for a couple of weeks, and all of the sudden, it just doesn't feel as good…"
"I've made the mistake of, uh, being actually drunk when I needed to be drunk in the scene, and that did not work for me. It works for some guys -- you know, a lot of roads to roam, but that's not one that I take."
Bridges is a California native and the son of actor Lloyd Bridges. His talent seemed evident right out of the gate when he received a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for his role in 1971's "The Last Picture Show." He played alongside Clint Eastwood in 1974's "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot," and was nominated for another Academy Award, this time Best Actor, for his role as the alien in 1984's "Starman."
Bridges told ABC News that he approached the peculiar role of an alien "the same way I approach all of my roles, where I look inside myself and see aspects of myself that I could use, then I look at my close circle of friends or my family, and I look in my phone book and I say, 'hmm, I wonder what friends remind me of - or that wouldn't surprise me - if they were an alien."
Bridges hired a dancer friend to train for him the first scene in "Starman," where the alien is born.
"I would take those lessons home and I would take a video camera and I would video[tape] myself. And I remember one day I was doing that in the nude, 'cause that's how Starman had to be," Bridges said. "And I was going like this [he mimics a fetal position] and I remember my wife coming in and her opening the door, and we made eye contact and the expression is just in my mind,'' he said, smiling.
"What did she think I was doing, photographing myself in the fetal position in the nude?" he said, laughing.

Full detailed profile on Will Munson Played by Jesse Lee Soffer on As the World Turns Daytime Soap Opera.
Jesse Lee Soffer
Birthday: 1984-04-10
Aaron calls Will and Gwen, telling them that Sofie jumped in a car and left. He says he won't give up looking. Gwen notices the answering machine is beeping and they listen. It's a message from Chris! He tells them about Sofie's call and that Hallie may be sick. Will and Gwen leave the cottage. They arrive at the hospital and question Chris about the call. Chris isn't sure of anything. They decide Will should go to New York to find Sofie but she is already back in Oakdale! She walks up with screaming Hallie and Gwen tries to grab the baby. Sofie keeps her away from Gwen and hands the child to Chris, asking him to take care of her. Gwen yells at Sofie that she is a kidnapper; Chris tells both women to stay out of the exam room! Gwen and Sofie argue; Sofie says Gwen brought this on herself by not allowing Sofie any and all access to the baby! Will walks up with Margo and she arrests Sofie on kidnapping charges. Sofie screams about how horrible Gwen is and she is hauled away.
Gwen and Will are canvassing the Chicago neighborhood. They run into a woman who recognizes Sofie's picture! The woman says Sofie hasn't been around for a while; Gwen tells her about the kidnapping. They ask several more women but none recognize Sofie. Will calls Margo but there is no news from Oakdale; Margo says they are probably wasting their time! Will tells Gwen they should go home. Crying, she says she won't give up. Will convinces her to come home in case they find Sofie. Once there, Will shows Gwen some summer clothes he bought for the baby and says they will have a magical summer as a family.
Sofie is in New York! She looks around at the big buildings and smiles. A police officer notices the crying baby and offers to help her; she gives him the cold shoulder. The cop walks away but watches them. Hallie becomes fussy so she puts down her purse to find the pacifier. She grabs it and keeps walking, not noticing that she dropped her wallet! Sofie stops a few blocks away to check her money supply and realizes she's lost her wallet. Hallie starts crying very hard and nothing Sofie does can calm her. She finally calls Aaron to ask for help. She makes him promise not to tell Will and Gwen and then says she lost her wallet and Hallie is very fussy. She tells him she is in Central Park. Aaron arrives at the park and tells Sofie they have to get Hallie warmed up and then they have to go back to Oakdale. She says she won't go back because they'll take her baby. She plans to live in Canada where the authorities can't find her or Hallie. Aaron shows her two plane tickets and says she won't lose Hallie if she turns herself in. He says he'll stand by her, too. Sofie pretends to go along with his plans. While she goes to the restroom, Aaron calls Will and Gwen to give them the good news. He hangs up and realizes Sofie has disappeared again! He calls Will back to give him the bad news.
Will and Gwen are outside the cottage, making plans for the next few hours and their next night out. They are surprised to find the door unlocked but don't think anything of it. They wake Barbara, who says Hallie was fussy for a bit but she's been fine the last few hours. Gwen goes to the nursery - and finds Hallie is gone! Gwen and Will freak out, blaming Barbara and asking where Hallie is. Babs doesn't know. She remembers Sofie's visit and tells them, making Will more angry. He says she should have called them and not Bonnie. Gwen tries calling Sofie but doesn't get an answer. They leave for The Lakeview but Barbara stays at the cottage in case Sofie turns up.
At The Lakeview, Will and Gwen run into Aaron and tell him what is going on. He shows them to Sofie's room. It's empty! Aaron calls Sofie; she answers and says she is taking her baby! She hangs up on him. The three of them go to the police station; they tell Margo what is going on. Gwen says Sofie wouldn't hurt Hallie. Margo agrees to put out an Amber Alert and asks Aaron to come with her so they can trace his phone calls. Will hugs Gwen and says things will be okay. Margo and Aaron return. The Amber Alert is in place and Kim is running Hallie's and Sofie's pictures on the 10 o'clock news. Will and Gwen return home and give Barbara the news. Barbara apologizes over and over but Will is too angry to listen. She offers to make a statement for Margo or hire an investigator but Will says she should just leave. Babs gathers her things, tells them she'll do anything to help them and leaves. Gwen breaks down. She blames herself for pushing Sofie to spend time with Hallie. Will says it isn't her fault. Aaron stops by and tells them about Sofie's place in Chicago. He leaves. Will and Gwen decide to go to Chicago.
Barbara is still at the cottage. Will and Gwen talk about having some time alone and she volunteers to watch Sofie so they can have a date. Gwen readily accepts, telling Will that Babs is eager to prove she can be a great grandma. They leave for the evening. Will and Gwen arrive for their romantic dinner. Both are worried about Hallie because they haven't left her alone for an entire evening but decide they can trust Barbara. Sofie walks by, sees them alone and says, "They left Hallie with a sitter!" and quickly hurries away. Will and Gwen finish dinner and Gwen makes a point to stay a little longer for coffee so that Barbara has some extra time with Hallie. Gwen reminds him that Barbara's heart is always in the right place but that her actions do get messed up from time to time. They leave to go home; Gwen suggests they do the dating thing a little more often now that Barbara is back in their lives. Will agrees and they head home.
Alison arrives at the cottage and sees Casey there. She invites him in when he hesitates. Will and Gwen are very excited to see Casey. They introduce Hallie; Casey is nervous around the little one, because he is still upset about Billy. Gwen and Allie leave to feed Hallie. Casey says it feels really weird to be out of prison; Will understands that because of his time in the psych ward. Gwen returns; she asks Casey about Maddie! Casey says he isn't talking to Maddie any longer. Will asks about school but Casey isn't interested in that either. Alison comes back from the nursery and Casey decides to leave for his job search. Alison and Gwen suggest Al's but when Casey learns Henry owns the place now he says that won't work. Casey leaves. Alison asks Will and Gwen what is going on with Casey. They aren't sure and say he's probably just having problems adjusting. Barbara arrives; Alison leaves. Gwen goes to get Hallie and introduces her to Barbara! She holds the baby, crying over her. Gwen and Will realize there is more going on than simple grandmotherly feelings but Barbara won't tell them about the cancer.
At the cottage, Will decides they have to call Sofie to set up some boundaries about Hallie. Gwen is reluctant but agrees. Gwen calls Sofie and asks her to come by the cottage that afternoon. Sofie drops everything to come to the house. Gwen asks Will for reassurance; he says they are absolutely doing the right thing. Sofie arrives with Aaron in tow a few minutes later. They try to talk to her but Sofie is more interested in talking about Hallie. When the baby cries she tries to go to her but Will and Gwen stop her. Aaron goes to check on the baby and Sofie asks what is going on. They tell Sofie that they need to have boundaries between them. "You're going back on your word," Sofie cries, calling Hallie her daughter. Will and Gwen stand firm and Sofie is heartbroken. Aaron comes out of the nursery with Hallie and Sofie asks to say goodbye. They offer to let her hold the baby but Sofie won't. Crying, she tells Hallie that she can't come around for a while and leaves. Aaron follows.
Casey arrives at Will and Gwen's cottage and watches them through the window.
Barbara runs into Will and Gwen at The Lakeview. She apologizes for getting in their way and tells them about Dusty's funeral. They ask if they can go with her! Barbara is surprised but pleased. She brings up Paul, worried about her other son. "I know I made a lot of mistakes," she says but Will cuts her off and says they can work through anything. Barbara goes to the front desk as Sofie walks up. She asks if she can babysit Hallie while they are at the funeral. Will turns down the offer. They leave Sofie in the hallway.

United Kingdom: Business Dress - Part 1
From ExecutivePlanet.com
Guidelines For Business Dress
Conservative dress is the norm for both men and women in British business culture where darker colours (black, dark blue, charcoal grey) and heavier fabrics (wool) predominate. No one wears a morning suit and bowler hat to work nowadays but the traditional pinstripe is still immensely popular.
In some ways, the British often appear indifferent to both style and fashion but there remains an almost snobbish awareness of 'quality'. Thus, senior bankers, civil servants, lawyers and accountants are still likely to shop at smart outfitters in London's West End: bespoke suits from Savile Row (pure wool, double-breasted, two vents, four buttons on the cuff of which two are functional and the other two decorative), shirts from Jermyn Street (pure cotton, full-cut, double cuffs with links) with silk tie, and hand-made leather Oxford shoes.
Other occupations dress differently. For example, those in advertising or the media are prone to wearing something rather more flamboyant, though still stylish, from a leading designer. Middle management is more likely to be driven by cost than fabric or style and hence to shop in one of the High-Street chains. It will, however, still entail a subfusc suit for both men and women. Women may wear trousers (including trouser-suits). Neither sex should wear denim.
Some British firms have introduced the concept of 'dress-down' Friday with its code of 'smart casual' but it is not universal and it is better to err on the side of being over-dressed (you can always take off your jacket). IT departments dress down all week.
Do not imagine that the British businessman or businesswoman dresses as if he or she is about to go off hunting or shooting. Tweed, corduroy and comfortable brown brogues do belong in the country but they should remain there (or in the more ancient universities). Similarly, with the possible exception of lairds and gillies, the Scots do not wear kilts to work; they may be strongly associated with Scotland's cultural heritage but they are only ever seen at Highland weddings and other social gatherings and when Scottish sports supporters travel abroad. The rest is another outdated cliché.
Nevertheless, the British still like donning the appropriate uniform for certain social functions. A day's horse racing at Royal Ascot, for example, demands morning dress and a top hat whilst an evening at Glyndebourne opera house requires a dinner jacket and black tie (preferably not a white tuxedo). The rules are becoming more relaxed but London clubs and smarter hotels and restaurants may still require gentlemen to wear jacket and tie (supplied by the concierge if need be) and ladies not to wear trousers. Weddings and some dinners may be formal (if so, the invitation will state this) but, if you have travelled half way round the world to be there, no one will mind if you did not bring your morning suit or dinner jacket. On the other hand, it is relatively easy to hire suitable attire; your efforts would be appreciated and you would also feel less out of place.

Taking a Stone Soup approach to education
Robert Rivard's column in yesterday's Express-News made me think of that classic children's book "Stone Soup." For those not familiar with the story, it's about three soldiers, returning from a war who pass through a town. Spurned by everyone for a meal, the trio borrow a big pot. They fill it with water and some […] [Read More]

Tonight vs the Philadelphia 76ers the long awaited start of Jimmer Fredette is finally here Kings fans wait no more. Fredette led the nation in scoring last year at BYU as well as winning National Player of the Year honors. In the early going of this season Fredette has impressed offensively which was expected, but still needs to tighten up defense. Im sure the ratings for the game tonight will be awfully high being that Jimmer is the biggest thing since Chris Webber to come through Sacremento. So far this season the rook is averaging 9 ppg in nearly 24 minutes of action a night something he definetly is not used to. I expect a decent game out of the Jimmer, look at his assist to turnover ratio tonight it seems that most of this years rookie point guards like to turn it over. Another key note is that Fredette is shooting a poor 29% from long distance, but is making sure to connect on his FTA shooting 85% from the charity stripe. I expect it to be an exciting game between two young NBA teams in the end i like the 76ers to win this game because the way they control the game defensively.

A unique feature of ECAD is our vocational program which takes place at four residential treatment facilities specializing in helping at-risk youth with emotional, behavioral, and learning issues. All of ECAD's dogs are educated by these at-risk youth.
On the surface, the ECADemy™ is a vocational education program designed to teach much-needed work skills and click now levitra brand expose students to career choices to consider pursuing after high school. By assuming the roles of teachers and service providers, the students learn to set goals and solve problems using patience, communication skills, self-control, frustration tolerance, and motivational techniques. The students also perform a community service by helping people with disabilities to become more independent. Please see the ECADemy video for more details.
The therapeutic benefits of working with dogs go far beyond the educational, though. Most of our students are struggling with anger and pain, have difficulty succeeding at traditional schoolwork, and often feel incapable of giving or receiving love. In ECAD programs, working with the dogs helps even the most difficult children establish a sense of self worth, master their tempers, and learn to trust again. Every day, we see the dogs provide students with immediate and non-judgmental feedback about their own behavior, and teach them new ways to modify that behavior. For many of our students, it is the first time they have experienced ongoing success. The pride they gain from their accomplishments (and their dogs) is invaluable.
The benefits work both ways, though. Thanks to the inexhaustible energy, dedication, enthusiasm, and creativity of the teen trainers, ECAD is able to produce a high number of extremely well-trained, well-socialized, highly skilled Assistance Dogs. The students and clients also learn a lot from each other, and not just about training dogs!

Former National Elijah Dukes arrested for assault
March 3, 2011 - 11:00 am
Former Washington Nationals' outfielder Elijah Dukes was arrested Mar. 2 and is accused of assaulting his pregnant girlfriend, Hardball Talk reports.
The St. Petersburg Times reports that before this incident, Dukes had outstanding warrants against him for contempt of court and driving with a suspended license.
The Nationals released Dukes during Spring Training last season. At the time, General Manager Mike Rizzo said the move was due to on-field performance and not off-the-field issues.

CRESTVIEW — St. Mark United Methodist Church members invite residents struggling with addictions, hurts, habits or hang-ups to attend the 'Celebrate Recovery' kick-off on Thursday night.
The 52-week, Christ-centered program begins with dinner followed by the PG-13 recovery film "Home Run." The ministry is free and open to everyone, regardless of religious affiliation, church member Cathy Justice said
"It's (confidential,) non-denominational and it's not just for addicts dealing with alcohol or drugs," she said.
Those with gambling, sex or pornography addictions and unwanted habits — which may include overeating, smoking, anxiety or insecurity — are welcome to attend.
Rick Warren's Saddleback Church in California started Celebrate Recovery in 2007. Niceville's St. Mark UMC location has seen increasing attendance for the same program, which is one reason the Crestview location is planning the program, Justice said.
"There is a real need for this here," she said. "I've seen it while working as a nurse here (in Crestview)."
WHAT: Celebrate Recovery
WHEN: Dinner is served 4:45-5:45 p.m. "Home Run" movie begins at 6 p.m. on Thursday
WHERE: St. Mark United Methodist Church, 2250 P.J. Adams Parkway, Crestview
COST: $5 donation is asked for an individual meal; $15 for families.

"Recently rigged up my house with some vintage man traps and bear traps, as im away for the xmas fest,i have also rigged the garden shed and garage,am i commiting an offence?As i no its primitive i feel it is more effective then the alarm system or the dog,What do u think?As i have been a victim of creepers at night,i have got a plesent surprise for them now he he."
Start the discussion
Iv also placed small planks with 6inc nails and screws on every other step leading to the upper landing and down to the basement with a smear of butter on every other step god forbid if anyone slipped i think i should of used goose fat as its xmas, i dont want to spend to much on the rotton scroundrels,just incase they gat a grip iv lased the banister with size 6 sea fishing hooks and i have blackout blinds in every room in my house I wont tell you what i have smeared the nails or the traps in as it is quiet un pleasent
I think that the scariest part of this post is the spelling.
Just in case you are seriously thinking otherwise - if you set traps with the intention of causing physical harm to an intruder, you would almost certainly be charged with a criminal offence because that would far exceed "reasonable force". Given that you've stated that you are actually targeting people you suspect or know are likely to enter your property, you could face far more serious charges - up to and including murder. If nothing else, you have to appreciate that whilst you are away, there could be genuine, lawful reasons for someone to enter your home - the fire brigade being just one obvious suggestion
Wow u r not playing i understand about the fire brigade i will have to buy some sprinklers but dont no much about the law in the great britian but i no it was banned in scotland in the 1800s is it the same in great britian,?
It's only a criminal offence if you get caught. If somebody gets hurt inside your property you need to get there before the Police and finish them off, then it's just the simple matter of disposal.
No doubt in the age of diversity and equality the notice will have to be in several languages, as well as Braille, and be illuminated so that it can seen in the dark. You will also need to conduct a risk assessment, provide a "method of working" statement, provide an audio version of the notice for those who are illiterate, a 'feedback' form for your 'customer' to report on the quality of your information, make sure that all your traps are CE marked, and try to ensure that the persons who get trapped represent an ethnic cross-section of your neighbourhood.
The safest way would be to use some kind of giant humane mousetrap. Put a tempting morsel of mince pie on the lever part, voila! You'll either catch your burglar soaked in their own urine upon your return or you will have suffocated Santa. Still, nevermind the poor kids eh! Aslong as your house is safe!
Oh this sound fun. Please leave an address so I can put my Ninja suit on and see how far I get
......this is a wind-up is it not....?? Where do you live BTW??
Whats is a wind up when your home is being violated anyway the queen has got armed guards at her palace a mans home is his castle isnt it?So i see no harm in protecting my home the queen is allowed to use bullets i choose to use bear traps.
But as far as we're aware Her Majesty doesn't have automated weapons which will open fire without checking whether or not the target is viable. She has armed guards who would have to show that they believed their actions to be reasonable and necessary under the circumstances. They would also have to show that the level of force used was proportionate to the perceived threat. Assuming you're actually serious I think you should check out the Occupier's Liability Act 1984. It's possible for someone to visit your property without permission and unannounced but still be a 'licensed visitor'. You have a duty of care to ensure the safety of these visitors.
Beartraps, just make your house as secure as possible with 5 lever mortice locks and by other reasonable legal means then make sure you pay your house insurance. Your suggested imaginative illegal steps to protect your property are more likely to land you in jail, sued for compensation by the burglar who gets hurt, or both. Not worth it.
So i suppose if i was to have a metal fence with spikes coming out of it and barbed wire and someone chose to climb over it i would be responsable whats the difference? Anyway a burgular comes to your home equipt crowbar screwdriver ect witch could be used to harm the owners so whats reasonable for them?As a crack on the head or stabbed from a screw driver sounds like danger to me! Why should insurance companys profit from peoples fears of being burgaled you enter a mans home you enter at your own risk
I once lived in Chell Heath (say no more). I got sick of having stuff nicked fom my (brick built) shed so I covered over the passage between shed and house with a massive bomb proof roof with a door each end. To stop the thieving ******** putting their hands under the doors to undo the bolts I whacked some nails into pieces of wood and bent them over so they pointed down. I imagined with a blissful grin their nasty little hands getting ripped to shreds. Was this legal? The nail bit probably wasn't, but all I know was that I never lost any more bikes or lawnmowers again. By the time I fitted security gates on the rear windows, that place was like Fort Knox. This what it takes these days unfortunately.
We are plagued with bears here in South Stoke,A Grizzly had five fish, out of me pond this morning,it would have been more,only our cat chased him off.
Where are staying ,some where near chedleton I hope.
Something about your area!

Basketball Wives LA: Are Draya and Brandi Friends?
During the zombie run, Draya breaks the ice among the women, which provides an opportunity for Brittish to resolve her issues with both Brandi and Malaysia. The women talk out their differences and agree to put their beef to bed until Sundy and Jackie bring up something Brandi said during their trip to Palm Springs. When Draya learns that Brandi does not consider them friends, Draya gets caught up in semantics and the two disagree on the status of their relationship. Is Draya over-reacting to Brandi's "friendly" vs. "friends" explanation?

Former 'Housewife' Danielle Staub Seeking Help for Psychological Problems
Staub told PEOPLE that it was childhood sexual abuse that caused her to have issues with low self-esteem. She is quoted saying, "I have addictions with love and low self-esteem, and I need help!"
The 48-year-old-reality-star continues, "My low self-esteem derived from childhood sexual abuse has messed with my mind and self-worth, and over the years I thought about getting help but pushed it deep into the depths of denial. For years I have had the suicide hotline on my cell phone and would like nothing more than to free myself from this constant pressure."
Staub admits that seeing how she hurt herself and her family was when she knew she could not overlook her problems or keep delaying treatment.
She has reportedly sought help from Dr. Drew Pinsky (of 'Celebrity Rehab' fame).
Staub recently signed a three-year contract with Scores Gentleman's Club in New York and according to the club's adult website, she had agreed to do one live appearance and occasionally appear on ScoresLive.com.
The reality star says that she was "coaxed" into signing her contract with Scores by her former business handlers but she has since walked away from the deal.
However Staub does admit, "I have to own my mistakes and can't blame others."
Staub was recently spotted filming a "food-related" series for VH1 with Heidi Montag and Jake Pavelka of 'The Bachelor.'

If she thinks, people think shes any younger than she is, shes even more deranged than I ever thought. Us older woman should look and act accordingly. Wearing skin tight pants, and tshirts so tight never look good on older woman, it only shows how desperate she is, to try to gain young mens attention.

Rockets win women's cross country MAC ChampionshipWritten by Jason Mack | | firstname.lastname@example.com
The UT women's cross country team won its second straight conference title Oct. 27 at the Mid-American Conference Championships.
"It means a lot," Toledo head coach Kevin Hadsell said. "No matter what sport you're in, this is college athletics and your goal is to win your conference championship. Anything over that is gravy. We were the defending champions coming in and knew we had the target on our back, but we embrace it. It means a lot to us. This is what we shoot for all year. Now we can turn our focus to getting back to the NCAA Championships."
Hadsell was named the MAC Women's Coach of the Year, an honor voted on by coaches following the race. He also won the award in 2001, 2002 and 2010. Seniors Ari Fisher and Emma Kertesz and sophomore Megan Vogelsong were named All-MAC first team. Juniors Kaylin Belair and Kristal Studer were named All-MAC second team.
Ohio's Juli Accurso finished in 20:35.3 to win the individual title. Kertesz and Fisher took home silver and bronze with times of 20:48.4 and 20:53.5, respectively. Fisher won the 2009 and 2010 individual titles.
"Ari Fisher did a great job," Hadsell said. "She had gotten hurt and missed six weeks of training. She's only been running for two weeks. For her to go out and get third, and Emma Kertesz getting the runner-up, that was really impressive."
Hadsell was particularly impressed by the performance of Studer, who finished in 21:41.9 for 14th place to give the Rockets a conference record score of 33 points, 40 points ahead of second place Central Michigan at 73.
"The best race of our group came from Kristal Studer who ended up being our fifth runner," Hadsell said. "She probably passed eight people in the last 200 meters or so. That allowed us to score only 33 points. That's the record for the lowest score, and she was a big part of that."
The Rockets will host the NCAA Great Lakes Regional meet Nov. 12 to compete for a spot in the national meet.
The men's cross country team finished in sixth place. Eastern Michigan won the MAC title, and Central Michigan's Tecumseh Adams finished in 24:34.3 to win the individual title.
Jonathan Dewitt was Toledo's top finisher in seventh place with a time of 24:34.3. Nick Thomas finished in 24:53.6 for 13th place. Dewitt was named All-MAC first team and Nick Thomas earned All-MAC second team honors.
"The men ran well," Hadsell said. "We were only one point behind Ohio for fifth place. We have been steadily improving from year-to-year and I am extremely excited about the future of the men's program."

Softball Hillcats Dominate Lions in Season Opener
The Rogers State University softball team unveiled its new on-campus facility in style on Saturday with two impressive wins over Missouri Southern State University at Hillcat Field.
The Hillcats first runs at the new park came in dramatic fashion. RSU hammered out back-to-back home runs in the third inning of Game 1. Centerfielder Kacy Ward belted a three-run home over the centerfield wall to give the Hillcats an early 3-0 lead. Third baseman Taylor Whisenhunt followed with a blast of her own to extend the lead to 4-0. The Hillcats cruised to an 8-1 victory from there. Starting pitcher Kelli Dunagan pitched five strong innings to earn her first collegiate victory. Ward finished the game 3-for-3 with three RBI.
The Hillcats made quick work of the Lions in Game 2, winning 15-1 via a five-inning run-rule. RSU sent 10 batters to the plate in the first inning and scored five runs on four hits. They added five more runs in the second, highlighted by a two-run homer by Dunagan. Freshman pitcher Stepahnie Eggers earned her first win at RSU in Game 2. Ward and Whisenhunt paced the Hillcats with three hits a piece in the game.
Coach Dawn Reed's club improved to 2-0 on the year with the series sweep. The Hillcats will be back in action on Monday as they face No. 18 University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (USAO) at Hillcat Field. First pitch is slated for 1 p.m.

Phillip Lee Green, 64, being given medical attention Thursday night before he was transported to a local hospital. (Lee Talbert/Johnson City Press)
ELIZABETHTON — The Carter County Sheriff's Department released more information Friday on Thursday night's shooting death on Hilton Hill Road.
The victim was identified as Timothy Gary Cook, 26, 183 HIlton Hill Road. Sheriff Chris Mathes said it appeared he was shot one time in the chest and was dead at the scene when deputies arrived.
The shooter was identified as Phillip Lee Green, 64. A witness was Jessica Pack, 34, who was identified as Green's daughter and Cook's girlfriend. Green, Pack and Cook all lived at the residence.
Lt. Derrick Hamm said he was dispatched to the scene at 9:16 p.m. Upon arrival, he said he found Green sitting in a metal swing by the front entrance. Hamm ordered Green to place his hands in the air. He said Green complied and said "I shot him. He's in the bedroom."
Deputy Paul Morell then handcuffed Green while Hamm went inside the residence. When Hamm entered the bedroom, he said he found Pack performing CPR on Cook, who was lying on the bedroom floor beside the bed. There was blood coming from his mouth and nose.
The Carter County Rescue Squad arrived and Pack was asked to go to the living room while Green was given medical attention.
Hamm said Pack told him she and Cook had been involved in a verbal argument and physical altercation. During the argument, she said Cook struck her in the back of the head. At that point, she said Green became involved in the disagreement and told Cook "You're not going to lay your hands on my daughter," and then made a statement about shooting Cook.
Pack said both men went to their bedrooms and both retrieved pistols, police said. Pack said she saw both men with pistols. Green fired a shot, striking Cook in his chest. Green then went back into his bedroom and placed the firearm, a Ruger .38 special revolver, in a chest of drawers and walked out to the front porch, where he was sitting when deputies arrived.
Capt. Jeff Markland, chief of the Criminal Investigations Division, said Green's weapon was recovered and a fully loaded pistol was found near Cook's right hand.
Markland said the case is still being investigated and no charges have been placed at this time. He said the district attorney general will be consulted about what charges should be made.
"We're not ruling out anything right now," Markland said of possible charges.
Markland said Green is in poor health and was transported to a hospital suffering from chest pains immediately after the shooting.
