when i travel--whether it's for a couple of weeks or a few days, for work or pleasure--i tend come happily home with a few obsessions.
my recent stay in LA yielded:
1) watermelon juice.
our company put us up at the standard hotel, on sunset (roll eyes, insert guffaw here). i know what you're thinking. whose idea was that? i have no comment, except to say, not mine. though, i never did object. in the end, the curiosity didn't kill me, it just left me perplexed.
is there a scene there? i have serious doubts. whatever was happening there, or hoped to happen there, i wanted no part of, unless it was happening, or hoping to happen, in the kitchen.
our work schedule basically resulted in our eating our way up and down and around the 24/7 restaurant menu. overall, the offerings were pretty strong.
i loved the greek yogurt (i'd never liked or understood greek yogurt) with berries and granola, the grilled shrimp salad, as well as an altogether different and not so healthy shrimp salad with a dill-y dressing on toast; the fries, the beet salad with goat cheese and mache, the pancakes (with 7-up in the batter) , the sorbets (coconut, green apple and apricot flavors were bright, happy endings to my meals)..."the standard benedict" (poached eggs on roast beef with a horseradish sauce) was fine too , except for the ill-advised decision to serve it on baguette slices. (that's just wrong. you shouldn't have to work so hard to cut your breakfast into bite-sized pieces.) the coffee was nice and brave, and served in a white ceramic cup of perfect size and heft.
but the thing i left there obsessed with? freshly -squeezed watermelon juice. it has a wonderful matte sweetness. it doesn't offer the bold, sugar shock of a cranberry/cranapple juice, nor does it have the burst of sweet sunshine that you get in the best freshly squeezed orange juice. it's not cloying like mango juice, or flat like carrot. it's a watery puree, a touch sweet, and just a little bit grassy--there's a bit o' white rind in there.
it's different... it will probably take you a few seconds to decide if you really like it. i decided i did. i love the color too. i wish i could carry that color with me wherever i go.
2) indie radio.
i love the radio, but i don't love the radio in ny. i can't actually get it in my apartment. but i hear enough of it in the car. i love singing along to lite hits and occasional classic rock anthems or r & b classics and disco (oh, the disco!), and i've definitely gone through stages when top 40 didn't completely offend me (i am quite susceptible pop music. i like "hooks"). and those of you who know me, know that i am far from EDGY. but good god, even i know this town could do with a little local indie radio. and nothing you have to "tinker with the knob" (i have an old clock radio) to find. something prominently on the dial.
so i don't have much to judge "indie 103.1" against, but my mornings and evenings were spent with santogold, mgmt, death cab, spoon, a healthy dose of depeche mode, the cure, and early U2. AND we all celebrated morrissey's birthday (may 22, people!!!). all that, and surf reports to boot! fun times!! why must they end?!
actually they don't have to....listen live here...
3) jessica smith
i met jessica at the photo shoot-she's one of our models! she's got amazing energy, and she exudes a true sweetness. we became fast friends. i can't wait for the photos we took of her to hit the newsstands and for the video to be posted on the website. you'll see how lovely she is, and you'll admire her perfect form.
if you're lucky enough to live in southern california and are an equinox member (or if you're planning to visit), i highly recommend taking her class.
the lovely miss jessica invited me to take her cardio sculpt class. and all i can say is: ass-kicking! as in, it's a fun workout that kicks ass, but she/it also kicked my ass (i struggled to keep up and i was sore for 3 days). but it felt great. if i could only get her to move back to ny, this old ass o' mine would be kickin.
but she is the instructor/star of the abs diet for women DVD, which i own, and that will do, for now...
more la obsessions to follow...soon...

Tampa, Florida -- The newly-opened Epicurean Hotel, located in Tampa's Hyde Park neighborhood, has received the prestigious AAA Four Diamond Rating.
The hotel, developed in collaboration with Mainsail Lodging & Development and the legendary Bern's Steak House, is the first newly constructed hotel property in the United States to join the prestigious Autograph Collection of Marriott International, Inc. (NYSE: MAR).

It is also now among the select group of just six hotel properties in Tampa to hold the AAA Four Diamond Rating.

"I am truly honored to lead the dedicated and loyal team that has worked tirelessly throughout the opening process to earn this outstanding award."
According to AAA, the fundamental hallmarks at this rating level include an extensive array of amenities combined with a high degree of hospitality, service, and attention to detail.
The food-focused Epicurean Hotel features a state-of-the-art culinary classroom known as the Epicurean Theatre; Élevage, a restaurant where classic recipes are re-imagined; Edge Social Drinkery rooftop bar; Chocolate Pi pâtisserie; Bern's Fine Wines & Spirits wine shop; Evangeline full-service spa; and 5,200-square feet of flexible event space.

History, heritage featured in Norlina and Oxford on Saturday
Communities less than 30 miles apart along the Interstate 85 corridor will play host to festive events today.
In Norlina, history is remembered with a Centennial Celebration. The celebration steps off at 10 a.m. with a parade and lasts until about 4 p.m.
In Oxford, the seventh annual N.C. Hot Sauce Festival envelops downtown between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Car shows are at each event, along with several exhibits, food and crafts. Activities for children will also be available.
Norlina's parade begins at King Drive, uses U.S. 1 and ends at the Norlina Museum. Sears Bugg will be featured with a talk on trains at 11:30 a.m. The town calls itself "Where North Carolina begins" and the railway is intrinsically linked to that beginning.
Stephanie Wheeler, a Norlina native with several gold medals as a part of Team USA's wheelchair basketball program, is part of the opening ceremonies at 11.
Kaine Riggan, born and raised in Kittrell, performs at the museum at 3 p.m. He's an accomplished musician and theater producer, with talents in country and bluegrass music.
Finding items to purchase in Oxford won't be difficult. Plants, arts and a bazaar will be available, as well as plenty of tasty hot sauces. The event has come a long way since Julia Overton's idea of promoting North Carolina's goodness got started at Stovall's Gifts on Main Street.
The signature event is the pepper-eating contest, won or shared each of the last three years by Oxford's Will Smith. Last year, he was just out of the hospital in time to swallow the victory.
Thinking the jalepeno is juiced? The heat index increases as the contest progresses, and the jalepeno is the third one up — in other words, just getting started.
The contest event begins at 1 p.m. on Littlejohn Street.

Jamie Moyer Makes Major League Baseball History
By editor
Originally published on Wed April 18, 2012 5:50 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep with congratulations to Jamie Moyer. At age 49, the pitcher won a game in the major leagues. Many of today's baseball players were not even born when Moyer's career started. He never threw the ball very hard, but won with patience and control. This year, he made the Colorado Rockies and pitched seven innings last night against San Diego for a five - three win. Some pitchers throw a 95 mile an hour fastball. Moyer's was 78. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

This case addresses a number of issues facing the key account manager assigned to handle one of the major clients of the company, but one that is just about to walk out the door. The cases demonstrate the effort to turn the situation around, including the expansion of knowledge of the client's business and industry, cross-company team building and management, continual improvement. Learning objectives: training goal is to demonstrate how key customers may be the most productive way to increase sales and profits: sell more to existing customers. This requires a well-coordinated and sometimes difficult actions with the business units and divisions. The case underlines the need for the whole team, not just the key account manager to take the time to build relationships with customers and become more customer-centric. There are some interesting questions about who should make the decisions, to have power, and where the P & L should live. They depend, ultimately, on the history and culture of the organization.

Recipe by RUTHEY
"These crescent rolls are fashioned after cake mix cookies and make for easy baking. They're light, tender and topped with poppy seeds."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (.25 ounce) package
active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups
warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
3 1/4 cups
all-purpose flour
1 (9 ounce) package
yellow cake mix
1/4 cup
margarine, melted
egg whites, beaten
2 tablespoons
poppy seeds
I'm giving this recipe five stars for now. I just wanted to put up a review that included this warning : Check your box of cake mix! The recipe calls for a 9 oz. box, when the standard cake mix box is twice that. I made these rolls last night and they were definately not dinner rolls. They are way too sweet and cakey. I used the whole box. I was prepared to leave a scathing review, but realized I messed it up. I will try this recipe again and leave a new review. BE AWARE OF THE CAKE MIX AMOUNTS! These are great sweet rolls to have with coffee though.
Tried these twice and they failed miserably both times although I am a very experienced baker. They didn't rise and were much too sweet. (Looking back at this and more recent reviews, I realize that I mistakenly used a LARGE box of cake mix. Thank you to another reviewer for pointing that out! The original submitter needed to be more explicit in specifying that a substandard size of mix was being used. I'll bet lots of us were fooled by not reading carefully. Sorry!

Just made this in my bread machine using the "dough only" cycle. I used yeast, water, cake mix and bread flour. I omitted poppy seeds, egg and margarine steps. After the dough cycle was done I cut dough into 24 peices and let rise on cookie sheet and baked at 350 till light brown. YUMMY! Light and Fluffy! The cake mix did the trick! Everyone loved them!
FOREVER I have been looking for a sweet dinner roll recipe that I would be proud to make for guests. This is so delicious. I have made them twice for parties and I am constantly asked for the recipe. Thank you for making me a big hit!
This are so good, they just melt in your mouth!
If I had not made them, I would not have believed how good this were and I believe in making breads from scratch! Sweet but not too sweet for dinner. Don't let the dough get too stiff - keep it slightly sticky. I just made regular rolls - no rolling into crescents. Did great!!
Read through all of the reviews prior to making the rolls and made sure to use 1/2 of a regular sized box of cake mix. Used bread flour instead of all purpose flour and doubled the yeast used. Family and friends over for dinner loved them. Will make again. Saved other half of the cake mix and made another batch the next weekend. In future might just go ahead and mix the second half with the flour and bag for ease in making another batch.
this recipe saved me! Had intended to do overnight rolls and forgot to make the dough last night. Had a box of "Jiffy" brand yellow mix in the cupboard intending to make a cinnamon roll recipe so that worked perfectly since it is 9 oz exactly. No where in the recipe did it say to knead the dough. I did knead the dough until it had the sheen. This is a sticky dough but I just kept flouring my board. I let it rise in a warmed oven for 1 hour and rose nicely double in bulk. The dough will appear too sticky to be able to roll into anything but I just floured my board and rolling pin and this dough was actually beautiful to work with. Used the pizza cutter to slice into sections and it did not stick to the board at all. Cut each round into 12 sections and used real butter instead of margarine. They are a sweeter roll but not sickening. They baked up like a picture. did some poppy seed, sesame seed, and left some plain. buttery good. Really no need to use butter. The only thing I would suggest is a bit of salt added to the second cup of flour when making the dough. Salt added directly to yeast mixture can kill the yeast. Thanks for this nice recipe with a surprisingly lovely dough to work with.
Not a stellar recipe, especially if you use a cake mix like Duncan Hines yellow cake mix, which has a high vanilla/coconutish flavor. If using this brand mix, I strongly recommend that you halve the cake mix and add additional "bread" flour as needed.

I went through 1st battalion in 67. Same thing, Airgun blood smear, Also blood on training gear. Heck, blood and training go hand in hand.
This is what I'm working on, getting the list of risk factors broadened to include the reality of military life. Do you know that the VA does NOT recognize exposure to blood in combat as a risk factor!, that is crazy man when the virus is spread blood to blood, blood to mucus membrane too.
All we can do is to write our reps and plead with them to do something about it. Tell them to talk to Congressman Mike Michaud D-Maine about it. He knows me well and is supportive to a certain degree.
We must stop being single snowflakes and join together to become a storm in order to be heard and we can do it right here brothers.
Hep-C is no small matter of a few vets sick, there are at least 250,000 of us. 7 per day are dieing from its conplications, that's a lot of grieving families.
Secretary Shinseki talked about starting the NVVLS again, National Vietnam Veterans Longitudinal Study again to lo0ok a the health effects on Vietnam vets.
This may lead to something. Ask your reps to support it as it will help understanding all veteran health issues including women.
Oh yeah, Were you one of the lucky one the treatment worked on? what Genotype did you have?
Be well brother,
We band of sick brothers and sisters.
You are right Ted. We need to continue to make noise with our government. I am amassing information in regard to "Hep C from Jetgun injector in the military. I am trying to get to a trial. I am working with an advocate here in Orange County, California. I went through 96 weeks of daily interferon injections. One word "misery". After the first 48 weeks, I was borderline "non-responder" my doc suggested to go another 48. Hard choice. I have been virus free for a year and a half. I was geno-type 1. Don't give up! Let's get healthy and keep fighting the VA/govt.
Tony Johnson
I went to boot at PI in 68, seen same thing blood running down everybodys arm,so far i dont have it . another grim reaper on our trail, i wish you all good luck,...s/f............usmc
My VA Appointment was canceled ........
Now I don't go back to the VA until March 1st
(unless they cancel again)
I will ask about the new drug Telaprevir and how the trials are going when I see them............
Thank you Drifter so much for all your hard work and information. I'm a survivor of hep c. I went through the daily injections of infergen for 96! weeks. Not quite sure how i made it. Marine spirit. I've been fighting the VA over this issue for years and with your information I'm confident of a positive outcome. I've been negative now for 18 months. Suffer minor side effects but I will be fine. Thanks again and God bless you. Tony
You Guys got something there.Everything you say makes absolute Seance .I never learned how to use one of those jet-guns and never used one.I certainly remember the corpsman using those things on me.The air pressure is so great that it separates your pores.There could be micro-scopic scatter.It could go in between the jet-nozzles and sit there.The Va will claim that it blows-out-not in.........Anyway Good Luck you guys....S/F and God Bless.
That's sense not the word I used seance-Wo that's scary boys and girls..........Ofcause the Va -does'nt believe the dirty water story..They are automatically prejudiced-because of drug use and sex-but what you say may actually be true.......Check out some research-if there is,even any in existence........ I'm with YA.....even though I dont have Hep C-I have residuals of Hepatitis due to Mononucleosis .In simple words I have a large liver...........I got it from a Virus...Hep C is a Virus..........Cure that Sh*t.............
I to remember the blood running down our arms in 1969. I have had some mild symptoms for over 20 years (dull pain under right side ribs). As of late it has been getting much worst, and with extreme fatigue, swelling feet and legs, and jaundice. I was just diagnosed by the VA, who did a routine test during my induction in to the system. I've been going crazy trying to figure our how I contracted it as I'm in a no risk category. Thanks so much for this info.
Jamielang1951-The swelling feet I'm not sure of-If your on the yellow side-your Beli-Rubin is probably up.Above 1.6H is a little jaundice looking -not bad but yellowish.Very important to know what your Liver Functions are.There are two for the liver:SGPT and SGOT-neither should be above the number 46.0......mine were more like 146 to 160 for over thirty years.........Now I'm normal under 46.0-First thing you should do is not to drink alcohol at all-until you find out what your Enzymes are.When I had Mono-my functions were over 400.00 for each.Therefore you may have Mono and or Epstein-Barr Virus......These days you have to watch out for Tick-Bites-I heard people turn a little yellow from that........Any Way Hope you Got Nothing.......S/F Jaundiced Brother............
Also-Pain maybe caused by Chololiths-(Gall-Bladder Stones)disease-The VA should be able to find the problem...........Get Well Soon..........
All these years I had the dull pain under my ribs, I always assumed it was Chololiths, and as a Marine I know better than to assume anything.
Drinking is no problem, a social drink Christmas and New Years is it, guess I'll skip the Mardi Gras parties, lol. I'm taking fluid pills and they help some of the swelling, not all. The swelling goes to my face and hands while lying down, expecially in the mornings.
Well wishes to you also Doc
We must unite.
We must pass the word!
Write to your representatives in Congress, especially to Congressman Michaud from Maine who is the subcommittee chairman on veterans health. He knows a thing or two about HCV from yours truly. He agrees that HCV should be included onto the list of Infectious diseases at 38 CFR 4.88b. Urge him to act on that.
Also contact Bob Filner - California. as I spoke to him about it also.
Write to Chellie Pingree Maine as I'v espoken to her also.
Write to Miller from Florida as I spoke to him about it also in Sanford Maine in 2008.
Write to the entire committee on Veterans Affairs, especially those Congressman who chair the committee on Veterans Health.
There are 5 resolutions being considered by the Vietnam Veterans of America for their National Convention in August. Write to the VVA and suggest that the resolutions about Hepatitis C be adopted.
The Disabled Veterans of America have a resolution that all Vietnam ERA veterans should be tested for Hepatitis C. They lost the same resolution but it is being sent back to Joe Violante at the DAV Legislative office in DC for them to present to the membership at their National Convention in New Orleans this year. Tell him you do not want to resolution to be lost again.
These resolutions deal with presumption for Hepatitis C for veterans who are denied VA claims due to "no known cause", having HCV added to the list of infectious diseases at 38 CFR 4.88b, having the list of risk factors updated to include air gun injectors as a risk factor, testing Vietnam Era veterans and having Study 488 updated to be more realistic in regard to the fact that it is too narrow in scope geographically and demographically. See study 488 on Goggle, 1day only on 1288 veterans in San Jose , Cal.
The only way that we as veterans and especially Marines, are going to shed the stigma associated with this disease is to join together in an operation to enlighten our representatives that we take this issue seriously even if they do not.
How serious is Hepatitis C?
In the last five years the rate of infection has gone up from 4 million Americans to 5.4 million Americans.
Among veterans the rate is 5 to 1 as compared to the civilian population.
5 years ago there were 250,000 veterans with HCV, how many now?
There are 7 veterans a day dieing from HCV related disease, liver and pancreatic cancer. It's a constant worry when you have grenades going off in your liver!
More people will die from HCV related illness in the next 5 years than from HIV/AIDS.
All of these numbers can be verified at the VA website /Hepatitis C/ FAQ
Malaria, Beri Beri, Lyme Disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, even HIV/AIDS are listed under Infectious Diseases at 38 CFR 4.88b but Hepatitis C is not, that is why there is stigma because the general population does not realize anyone can catch Hep-C. see 38 CFR 4.88b on Goggle.
These is just some of the rational why we should take up the fight so please write your reps about what we have said here along with your personal story about yourself or a loved suffering from the "Silent Killer" and keep up the pressure.
Liver Function Tests
My recent ALT/AST are in the normal range but my viral load is around 10 million.
This is why HCV is known as the "Silent Killer" because you just do not know if you have it unless you are tested for it. If you are a Vietman ERA veteran ask to be tested. The VA will provide a blood test to see if you ever were exposed to the virus or if you presently have the virus. There was no test prior to 1992 when by the way the military stopped using air gun injectors and wen to single use syringes, humm!
Write to your reps and say that all Vietnam ERA veterans should be tested so we find out once and for all the extent of the problem.
Study 488 makes it sound like we were all junkies in country. Truth be told, Germany was a cesspool of Hep-C and they were selling and donating blood that we used in the field in Nam. I personally never saw a Marine using a needle in Nam. How about you?

text: Home prices in Sammamish WA 98075 Homes for Sale in Sammamish WA 98075 Inventory levels The chart above tells the story of both the declining number of homes for sale in Sammamish WA 98075 and it breaks down the types of homes that are for sale each month. One of the very encouraging factors is the distressed property levels continue to decrease. This factor helps to increase home values in the Sammamish WA 98075 neighborhoods. The number of active listings in Sammamish (98075) dropped by 38.6% from the previous month.The median number of days active properties have been listed is 91. This is significantly shorter than the national average. Remember that the median days on the market for active properties means that half of the listing available for sale are above 61 days and half of them are below. It does not tell you the number of days for the average home listing in Sammamish WA to be sold. The number of sales from December dropped by 30.4 percent from December of the previous year. Home prices in Sammamish WA 98075 Home listing prices continue to rise as the number of home listing for sale in Sammamish WA 98075 continue to decrease. Understand the difference between "listing prices" (what sellers are asking for) and "sold prices" (what buyers are willing to pay). By comparing these price trends, you'll have a good idea of where the market is heading. The median listing and sold property prices are calculated based on the market activity each month.

Do I need to be pre-qualified or pre-approved for a new home mortgage? With the current home market conditions, being just pre-qualified for a home loan doesn't put you in a strong negotiating position with today's sellers and with a knowledgeable listing agent. When I review multiple offers for my listing clients the first thing I look at after the offer price is how strong is this buyer. Buyers who have been pre-approved by mortgage professionals who have a proven tract record for closing home loans in a timely fashion go to the top of the stack. Those offers who have simply been pre-qualified and not pre-approved, are not considered to be as strong an offer and can easily be the difference in winning a multiple offer situation. For your next home purchase or refinance, I strongly recommend contacting Jessica and Michelle with Movement Mortgage for straight answers, professional service and the ability to have your loan pre-approved. Remember, being pre-approved is the key to winning. And really, who doesn't like to be a winner.

Jack McElroy: Sometimes a newspaper has no choice
There are times when a newspaper has no choice but to fight to force the government to conduct its business in public.
That was the case in 2007 when the News Sentinel sued after the Knox County Commission appointed 12 top officials during a meeting that forbade public discussion but was rife with behind-the-scenes deal-making.
The Black Wednesday session was such a flagrant violation of the Sunshine Law, and the decisions involved were so important to local governance, that the newspaper either had to file suit or forfeit its role as community watchdog.
Now a similar situation has arisen.
Again, the issue is of great civic importance.
No criminal case in the past decade has defined justice in this community as has the Channon Christian/Chris Newsom murder trials. They were expensive, protracted and painful. But, ultimately, they brought resolution. Or so it seemed until a new act in the tragedy unfolded — the drug abuse of the judge, Richard Baumgartner.
Now defense attorneys are moving for new trials, and again an extraordinary veil of secrecy has been dropped over government decision-making.
At issue is the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's probe into Baumgartner's behavior, particularly his buying drugs from a defendant in his court. The investigation began late last year, and Baumgartner pleaded guilty to official misconduct earlier this year.
But the results of the TBI investigation never have been made public, though the sealed file has been turned over to the Christian-Newsom defense attorneys. One of them has said it contains "overwhelming" evidence that the trials were flawed and the verdicts must be reversed.
Such a decision would be of great public concern. But, in fact, the process of deciding whether new trials will be held already has been taking place in complete secrecy.
Both sides have stipulated that the information in the file would be considered as evidence. The people interviewed by the TBI would be treated as witnesses, with their statements assumed to be the same as if they were called to testify under oath.
By the end of September, defense attorneys had to identify the portions of the file they wanted to use to support their motions, and by Oct. 28, the prosecution had to raise any objections it had on the basis of hearsay, relevance, etc. A hearing is scheduled for Dec. 1 to argue the motions, but the evidence remains under seal.
In effect, a star chamber process may decide whether these most important trials will be upheld, or struck down.
Who is served by the secrecy? That's hard to say.
No legal justification has been presented. Baumgartner's case is finished, so his right to a fair trial isn't affected. The Christian-Newsom defendants have and are using the file already. The TBI's investigation is closed.
But it's easy to see who is harmed by the secrecy: the citizen, who is paying for every step of the process and whose faith in the judicial system rests on it being fair and open.
In such cases, a responsible newspaper must act on behalf of the public, and that is why the News Sentinel filed to intervene in the case last week.

Happy New Year...Now let's talk about Halloween.
We'd like to wish you all a very Happy New Year! 2010 is here. New Year's Eve has come and gone. The ball has dropped and the confetti has landed. What now? Why, Halloween, of course!
a world that will be deliciously decadent, imaginative, mystical, funny, spooky, wild, mysterious, bold, carnivorous, and breathtaking. Imagine a mansion on Halloween night where the real, the imagined, the living and the not-so-living come together to toast to the wildest night of the year. Imagine a grand ball. And imagine yourself as a guest and a voyeur, catching a peak into the many rooms of this mansion, each holding different stories, secrets, and surprises. Any proper mansion — and especially one on Halloween night — has a good ghost story, a good love story, a skeleton or two in the closet, deadly thrills and lively music. It's a Vampire Dinner Party. And your invited — as dinner.

This champagne bucket/ice bucket is so chic, you'll seek out other uses for it just to keep it on display. The hammered aluminum exterior offers timeless appeal, while the oversize handles are as utilitarian as they are stylish. Limited lifetime warranty. Made in France.
In 1830, Ernest Mauviel established his company in a Normandy village called Villedieu-les-Poeles, "the city of copper," which has an 800-year heritage of copper manufacturing. With this rich tradition an integral component of its manufacturing expertise, Mauviel continues to create peerless copper, stainless-steel, and aluminum kitchen essentials for chefs. Coveted by cooking enthusiasts around the world, Mauviel products have even been known to help less enthusiastic cooks learn to love the culinary arts.

Is your Monday a bit grey or drizzly or lacking in heavily-armoured Romans laying the smackdown on ferocious Pict warriors? We have the answer - and it's a nice cup of tea. Or, failing that, these rather spiffy new images from Neil Marshall's brutal, balls-to-the-wall take on Roman Britain in Centurion.
The movie speculates on the fate of Rome's reputedly 'lost' Ninth Legion*, who in this take are north of Hadrian's Wall, engaged in a bloody battle and facing a bit of trouble getting out of hostile Pict country. Our hero is Fassbender's Quintus, seen in the second of these pictures with Liam Cunningham (who of course starred opposite him in the harrowing Hunger).
Said Fassbender, "There's certainly a lot of head-chopping. I guess you can always make modern-day parallels, to the occupation of Iraq. But it's the idea of someone who believes in an ethos, becomes disillusioned and comes to his own sort of beliefs. So there are parallels, and it's interesting when you take it out of our timeframe and stick it back 2,000 years."
Centurion is out in March 2010, and you'll have to pick up the new Empire for more on it. And yes, after last week's Clash of the Titans pics and Twilight: New Moon posters, we are spoiling you with new pictures. Sorry if we've ruined you forever.
*While the story that they were lost was accepted for years, it's not believed that they, er, weren't, since they turned up a bit later in the eastern Europe. But we're still looking forward to this one and to the similarly themed but more child-friendly Eagle of the Ninth.

It's our best combo ticket package and the best selling deal we have. Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa what are you waiting for!? Let's go get it today. I've got two little precocious tots and they are always bouncing around looking for an intriguing activity. And of course you know they love everything that is Audubon! We frequently do the rounds of all the attractions. With this holiday weekend you can make it a three day series of fun for all. At Audubon Zoo soak up the sun and splash at Cool Zoo. You can also walk among the dinosaurs and dig for fossils. Maybe you'd even like to touch an elephant. Check out all the animal show times and feedings. At the giraffe feeding they get so close to you that you can count each spot on the giraffe! At the Butterfly Garden and Insectarium make sure you check out the beautiful new Butterflies in Flight exhibit. It's filled with colorful butterflies that flutter all around you in the Zen garden. It's also important to go to Bug Appétit, where you can taste all the wonderful bugs you've been missing out on. Yes, I did say bugs! Try a cricket or a worm; you'll love it I promise. You want some other exciting things to do? Well over at the Aquarium be prepared to be grossed out at the Animal Grossology exhibit. The exhibit closes on Labor Day; so play and learn as much as you can about all the icky, stinky, but fun facts about animals. Adults and kids love it! Wait there's one more thing coming that you're going to love. Over at Imax® we've got a new film coming and you'll have to see this on the big screen to truly enjoy it. We're showing The Dark Knight Rises! It's only going to be here for a limited time, so go during the holiday weekend. Other great Imax® movies for the kids to watch are The Last Reef 3D and Born to be Wild 3D. Both of these display awesome visuals in 3D. If you've never been to our Imax®, believe me when I say, It's like nothing you've ever seen before. Now I think I've covered it all so make your Labor Day holiday weekend plans now and make sure to visit and join us in all the fun at Audubon!
