Why do men think this is okay?
- 20 Replies
Because he is a guy. My dh and I both suffer from severe allergies and yesterday was a bad day for us. He took a nap at two and didn't get up until dinner. Then went to his man cave for the rest of the night. We let them do it so it is partly our fault.
Have you spoken to your dh about this? Have you had an open, honest discussion with him regarding your feelings? I would not say that all men do this, because my dh wouldn't, therefore, if you don't like it, discuss it with him. Good luck and I hope you get some rest and your headache goes away. :)

Spain closing in on unique hat-trickComment on this story
DONETSK, Ukraine – Reigning world and European Spain are just two matches away from achieving the unmatched title hat-trick of winning three straight major tournaments.
The La Roja eased into the Euro 2012 semifinals by defeating France 2-0 in a one-sided quarterfinal with midfielder Xabi Alonso scoring both goals.
The Spanish will now meet Portugal in Wednesday's semifinal in Donetsk, while Germany take on the winner of Sunday's quarter-final between Italy and England in Kiev on Thursday in the other semifinal.
Going into Saturday's game at the Donbass Arena in Donetsk, Spain had never won a competitive match against France with one draw and five losses.
That curse is now over.
Against Les Bleus, Spanish coach Vicente del Bosque again started the match without a nominal centre-forward, playing Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas up front. It was the second time the Spanish boss employeed the same formation following Spain's 1-1
draw with Italy in their group C opener.
Del Bosque said he felt that playing Fabregas up front was the best thing for the game against the French.
"I don't think there is an absolute truth about the number nine (forward position). There is no debate needed, we are not 100 per cent in favour of this strategy or that strategy," said del Bosque, who played in Spain's disappointing Euro 1980 campaign, when the side finished bottom of their group and crashed out.
"Playing with a true forward gives you more depth, but we wanted possession and for that I decided not to play with a true forward. I think it worked as we were in control most of the time."
He said that the side in a way had three forwards in Andres Iniesta, Fabregas and David Silva.
"It is also not correct to speak of our defensive midfielders Xabi Alonso and Sergio Busquets doing only defensive work. They are not that defensive. They are exceptional players," said the Spanish coach.
"Sometimes if we defend we get closer to the success, our defenders know how to play in this sense and it worked out."
Spain have set up their base camp in Poland and returned there after the match, even though their next game is again in Donetsk.
"We will travel to Poland and then come back again. Should we go through to the final in Kiev, we will also do it that way," said del Bosque.
He said that the Spanish players would now have to recover as fast as possible for their semi-final date with Portugal.
"Yes, we were tired and we will have to do our best to get as much rest as we can. Portugal have two days more rest and that is a small disadvantage for us," said del Bosque.
"The game against Portugal will be very difficult. There are no easy or comfortable matches in this competition. Portugal are a very strong side." – Sapa-dpa

Simplicity in concrete
I came across this beauty of a house on the swedish interior magazine Residence website. What stand out here for me is the beauty in the simple shape of square and a triangle, and the repetitive shapes. In some ways is a bit naive, but I like it. And triangle with the roof connecting the main house with the guest house is just brilliant. Why make a house with all complicated forms and texture when keeping it simple is more than enough. The architects behind this is swedish hottest architects Tham & Videgård. Images are from Residence and taken by Åke E:son Lindman and stylist i sthe amazing Lotta Agaton.

Michael Devitt
Distinguished Professor, Ph.D. Program in Philosophy
Michael Devitt, a student of the famous American empiricist Willard Van Orman Quine at Harvard, where he earned his Ph.D., has argued his realist position steadily over the years. His Realism and Truth is now in its third printing. He was also chosen as the spokesperson for naturalism (opposition to the a priori, or knowledge not derived from experience) in the forthcoming volume, Contemporary Debates in Epistemology, part of a series published by Blackwell that pits prominent philosophers with opposing views against one another. Fighting for scientific realism is just one of Devitt's preoccupations as a philosopher; he is also an incredibly prolific scholar in the areas of cognitive science and the philosophy of language. In Ignorance of Language (forthcoming) he criticizes Chomskian views of the place of language in the mind. He has been embroiled for thirty years in a revolution in the "theory of reference," a revolution that was instigated by the world-famous philosopher and logician, Saul Kripke, who also recently joined the philosophy faculty of The Graduate Center.

This was told to us by our Dr. after my DH got sick yet again -this time with a bronchial infection-after the initial cold 3 weeks ago! He said if you didn't change your toothbrush, you probably reinfected yourself with the germs on it. So, even if you are on antibiotics, change your brush before and then after they are done. It is better to be safe than sorry-a toothbrush costs alot less than the Dr.'s visit and the medicine!
With all my medicines.i can't lose.Alli do is gain198
I run until I am sick of running and then I put in a couple more miles
I always make sure that no matter what (unless I am sick) to make sure that I get in at least 10 minutes of exercise a day

Hi-five for the goodness of five veggies, that's what this dish is all about! a nutritious and tasty preparation made of any combination of five colourful, fresh vegetables, the five treasure vegetables is a classic chinese recipe. While you can use any veggies of your choice, it would good to retain some of the typical oriental choices like bean sprouts and baby corn to ensure a pleasant crunchiness. The proportion of sauces is also important if you want an authentic, perfect outcome.

Possible Alien Artifact found
- Uploaded by corypickerign3 on May 17, 2014
- Views: 4139
Kupang, Indonesia... Photographs have emerged which apparently show a possible Alien artifact. The pictures released show strange rocks fused together that contain symbols and carvings. What's more extraordinary is that the rocks are engraved with what seems to be a star map, very similar to the plaque that was designed by Carl Sagan and Frank Drake and was placed onboard the Pioneer 10 probe, launched in 1972. The rock also has a magnetic field, which seems to emanate from it when it is near any electric or electronic apparatus. Did an Extraterrestrial explorer leave a calling card behind? Is it man made? Or Is it just a hoax? The photographs of the artifact you see here belonged to a geologist who had lived in Kupang and died of illness in 1994. He'd been exploring a cave at the Devil Hills at night, and came upon a strange pile of rocks, where he found the stone. It appeared like two pieces of rock bound together, but its most curious characteristic were the drawings upon its surface: stars, the Sun, and arrows pointing to them. You can also see humanoid figures, which compares the carvings on the rock to the Pioneer plaques. These were plaques sent into space aboard Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 in 1972 and 1973, respectively, meant to give any intelligent life in the universe information on the crafts origins. On the strange stone, the images (if they are similar) appear reversed. The artifact also had other qualities (translated from original): "According to Willy [Soeharly] who is now a field investigation team coordinator BETA-UFO Kupang and surrounding areas, the rock contains a magnet and is thought to contain radioactive elements." The stone is now kept by the geologist's family. In the area of the Devil Hills, there have also been reports of UFOs, including "three black dots" that had formed a triangle, which some claimed had been the markings of a UFO landing. These markings eventually vanished due to erosion. Neons lights had also been reported descending toward the hills. Is this a legitimate artifact? It's possible this could actually be a septarian concretion, a kind of rock formation where cracks or separations occur and fill in with minerals. The carvings could very well be man-made. What could these carvings mean? Why are they there? Perhaps we will never know. Or perhaps, in some distant future, we will indeed find out the truth. http://www.templeilluminatus.com/group/expoliticsandufology/forum/topics lien-star-map-found-in-kupang-indonesia-2013 http://www.strangerdimensions.com/2013/02/13/mysterious-stone-found-in-k... http://www.freestockmusic.com http://www.freesound.org EMPTYHOLE ENTERTAINMENT http://www.youtube.com/user/emptyholeproject

DENVER (AP) A 19-year-old man convicted of first-degree murder for stabbing another man 64 times with a screwdriver has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.
The Denver Post reports Hector Alvarez-Martinon was sentenced Friday for the stabbing of 22-year-old Francisco Moran, who died at a hospital after police found him covered with blood at a Brighton mobile home park Nov. 22, 2012.
Prosecutors say Alvarez-Martinon, Moran and a man identified as Alex Hernandez were in a car driven by Hernandez when Alvarez-Martinon pulled out a screwdriver and began stabbing Moran, who was sitting in front of him.
Moran escaped from the vehicle and told police who attacked him when they found him covered in blood.
Hernandez also is charged with first-degree murder and is set to stand trial March 3.

Mailbox Damage Issues
Is your mailbox designed to standup to the rigors of the winter plowing season? What happens if your mailbox is damaged by plowing activities? The answerdepends on how the damage occurred.
If your mailbox is actually struck by a snowplow, the City will repair or replace the mailbox , providing it's a standard design that conforms to U.S. Postal specifications for minimum height and setback. Damage to non-standard mailbox assemblies will be reimbursed on a sliding scale, based on the mailbox value. Some examples of non-standard boxes are: brick planters, mailboxes with custom lettering, custom design or larger than standard installations.
Mailboxes should be installed and maintained to withstand snow coming off the end of the plow. However, if damage occurs due to snow discharge or snow storage, the City will not be responsible for repairs.
City staff investigates each complaint. If an inspection shows that the mailbox was hit by a plow or other piece of equipment, a temporary mailbox is installed. Then in the spring, repair or new installion is completed.
If no signs of impact are evident, the resident is provided information about possible reasons for the problem. These may include inadequate construction or materials, needed maintenance or other sources of damage.

Sangavi a beautiful hearthrob was born in Mysore, Karnataka, before coming to the cinema she was doing modelling even from her teenage days. It is interesting to know that her mother tongue is Kannada, but she did maximum number of films in Tamil and Telugu languages. She did very few films in Kannada.
Sangavi is one who's born with all such qualities that's needed to stay on top in the movie industry. As rightly said in "The Hindu" she has very well balanced glamour and character roles in her career. She has acted over 75 movies and still going strong.
Even today the name "Sanghavi!!" is like electric shock to the hearts millions of her fans. The whole south Indian industry men and film fans chanted her name for over a decade. It is the rarest thing in film industry especialy when the glamorous actresses are ready to strip their dress to whatever extent! It is not a miracle that she still maintains a huge fans in southern India due to her work in Kollywood, Tollywood and Sandalwood film industries.
The film industries have seen many actress with beauty, glamour talent and skills but most of them faded away within four or five years. But this gorgeous beauty seems to be destined to rule the hearts for more than a decade. She is a born actress with all the skills necessary to survive in the film land.
Her first claim to fame was her performance in a Tamil movie "Amaravathi" with Ajit. Her performance in the movie got noticed and came into lime light and from there on she conquered the hearts of thousands of Tamil film viewers. Success followed her where ever she went. It's no surprise that she carried herself on to become leading heroine in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada within the next few years.
Even after almost a decade she still remains a queen in the hearts of millions. The fact that a very few actress in the industry can survive so long indicates her powerful screen presence.
She became heartthrob of millions over a night. Till then she never looked back..!!! Still its a mystery that whether she followed success or success followed her..!!
Sangavi won Andhra Governments Nandi (State) award for best actress for the movie "Sindhooram" where Ravi Teja is in lead role.
She also Sangeetha award for best supporting actress for the movie "Porkkaallam" where Murali, Meena are also in lead roles.

Representatives for our alumni, faculty and staff as well as President Capilouto, gave heartfelt remarks.
I have often spoken about the Big Blue family, and the closeness that defines our community. So when a member of that family passes, it can be a deeply personal loss for all of us.
Part of the shock comes from what college is about. We come here to learn and to prepare for the rest of our lives.
Anything contrary to that seems foreign.
When something steals that future it can be jarring and difficult to reconcile.
What is most important is remembering that those who have passed are not gone.
Over and over again, those who spoke at UK Remembers emphasized the effects that those close to us have on us, even in death.
We remember how they made us feel and what they taught us. Every relationship we build becomes a part of us. The people we lose live on in our own promise of a better future.
When we experience loss, it reminds us how important the ties we have are. In good times and bad, it is important to work toward ever-stronger ties with those around us.
We should be ever thankful for these ties and relationships because they make the good times worth celebrating and the bad times worth overcoming.
When we come together as a community, we become much stronger than we are as individuals. The memories of those we have lost should not bring us sadness, but rather joy at the lives they lived and determination to live our lives in a way that would make them proud.
The overall message of the memorial was one of joy. We are so thankful for the friends, colleagues and mentors that this university has provided us.
Wednesday should not be the only day that you remember those who have passed; let us celebrate their lives daily by pushing ourselves and our community to be the best it can be.
Roshan Palli is the student government president. His column appears weekly in the Kernel.

No tax hike for Monessen
Monessen City Council will introduce a tentative 2014 budget Wednesday that does not include a property tax increase, according to city officials.
City administrator John Harhai and clerk Rosalie Nicksich said after Monday's work session that the budget will include a fixed tax rate of 35.85 mills.
Council is also planning to approve a $500,000 tax anticipation note for 2014 at Wednesday's regular agenda meeting. The PNC Bank loan carries a 1.9 percent interest with a maturity date of June 30. The money is used for expenditures until all taxes are collected.
Other figures, such as budget's estimated expenditures and revenues, were not disclosed Monday.
However, Harhai and Mayor Mary Jo Smith vowed the city will be "in the black" when mayor-elect Lou Mavrakis takes over Jan. 1. Smith said Nicksich has been working on the budget since August.
In addition, the Monessen police department should soon have its first full-time officer in nearly a decade.
At the request of police Chief John Mandarino, council is poised to hire Rebekah Shrader as a part-time police officer. Mandarino said adding a female officer will help his department "cover all the bases."
"Many times we have a female under arrest and male officers can't search certain parts of their body," Mandarino said. "They know this and that's the first place they'll hide drugs or weapons."
Mandarino said Monessen police have had to repeatedly call in a female officer from a neighboring department in such cases, and sometimes they're unavailable.
"We're going to be able to call (Shrader) out and search a prisoner when we need it," he said. "Plus, women seem to relate to other women and children a lot better, like when discussing trauma or a physical or sexual assault.
"Times are changing and it's just smart to have a female officer available this day and age."
Council on Wednesday is also expected to approve a $22,000 loan for the purchase of a new police vehicle. Smith said approximately $13,000 of that money will be provided from the salaries of elected officials including herself, controller Wayne Vlasic and council members Dr. Martin Dudas, Lucille D'Alfonso and Bill Manus.
Council also plans to award the installation of a Brown Street Clock to low bidder Esken Landscaping for $16,950 to be paid from Community Development Block Grant funds. Harhai said the clock should be installed before Christmas near the Public Safety building on Donner Avenue.
The city purchased the rare timepiece, thought to be manufactured around 1910 in either Monessen or Donora, earlier this year through public and private donations.
A similar clock stood at 532 Donner Ave. more than a century ago.
At the end of Monday's work session, Mavrakis asked Smith if she received a letter requesting that council "refrain from any further hirings and expenditures other than those which have previously been mandated."
The letter also requested that Mavrakis and incoming council members Patricia Bukowski and John Nestor be permitted to attend all sessions regarding the formulation and adoption of a 2014 budget.
"Did the city get my letter dated Nov. 11?" Mavrakis asked.
"Yes, we did," Smith replied.
"No response?" he said.
"Nope," Smith answered.
Council then went into an executive session to discuss personnel issues, according to Smith.

50 Cent and Bette Midler
There's been a lot of hullabaloo over the The Divine Miss M's friendship with this infamous rapper. While we aren't sure if the two are still in touch, we do know that their relationship grew out of a very good place: 50 Cent teamed up with the legendary entertainer when her environmental group, New York Restoration Project, decided to build a public garden in 50 Cent's childhood neighborhood in 2009.

So what does the roll out of Facebook Timeline mean for higher education beyond bigger pictures and a new way of doing things? Plenty.
Colleges and universities around the country are always searching for better ways to tell their story. They struggle with the simple ways to talk about all they have going on. Timeline takes great strides to make it easier.
Timeline streamlines the brand experience into a scrollable story. It allows administrators to craft that story in ways the old wall never would.
The trick is that building that story takes time and effort. So while administrators have until March 30 to make adjustments as to how their timeline will appear, it's best to start now. Here's five quick tips to get you started while still in preview mode:
Select a Sweet Cover Pic
The cover pic is the most visible change to a Timeline-enhanced brand page. It's bold and big — 851 x 315 pixels, to be exact. Use every last pixel to be creative and demonstrate the vibrant nature of campus. Do not take this opportunity to share another photo of a girl studying under a tree. We've seen that shot before.
Remember the rules: Cover pics cannot contain contact information, calls to action or references to other Facebook features. Essentially this means administrators can no longer put an arrow pointing to the 'like' button to increase a fan base.
Arrange Applications and Customize Appearance
Custom applications used to be banished to a small list on the left of a page where they were hard to organize and harder to find. No longer. The new Facebook Timeline allows administrators to add up to 12 applications to a page and selects the first four to highlight front and center.
These highlighted applications take up some prime real estate and there is no reason not to capitalize on that fact. Administrators can customize the images for each app (beyond the photos and videos) by editing the settings for each individual application. New images need to be 111 pixels high by 74 pixels wide.
Pin the Most Important Content
Seems pinning is the latest rage, even on Facebook. Timeline allows adminisrators to "pin" certain content to the top of a page for up to seven days before it falls back into place. It's a great feature to highlight specific content and, in turn, push down content you'd rather not have people see.
Get Visual with Content
Most research on Facebook suggests photos are more engaging than the traditional status update. So why not get more visual? The new Timeline increased the size of common photos and allows certain posts to stretch across the page.
If Facebook is going to allow page admins to extend an image all the way across the page, use it when the time is appropriate.
Go Back in Time
History and tradition run deep at most colleges and universities and the "milestones" feature of Timeline is a great way to demonstrate it. Set milestones to define the key moments in an institution's history. The milestones are added to a date selector running down the right side that tells the story of a school established long before Mark Zuckerberg built Facebook.
Adding milestones may take some time, but the rich content it adds is worth it. Special tip: Opt out of publishing each milestone to the feed you don't want to flood fans' streams as you build a school's story.

Some of the allegations from Somerville residents of environmental contamination by the Koppers wood-treatment plant are briefly addressed in writing.
For years, residents say the chemicals used at the plant have been released into the air and water supply. They claim as a result, the city has a larger than average occurrence of cancer cases and birth defects.
Just before Christmas, Koppers officials took out a full page open letter to residents in the local paper laying out what they say are the facts. In the letter, Thomas D. Loadman, Vice President and General Manager of Railroad Products and Services touched on a few allegations like air quality.
According to Loadman's letter, the company complies with Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines. Loadman writes that air samples are tested regularly and they show air quality is within safety levels.
When it comes to cases of cancer, the letter says that rates of the disease in men and women in Somerville are within normal ranges as according to the Texas Cancer Registry Branch of the Texas Department of State Health Services. In referencing complaints about the local water supply being contaminated, the letter says Somerville's water source, a deep-well aquifer in Lyons, is also tested on a regular basis.
Officials from Koppers were unavailable Wednesday, for an official comment. However, a company representative tells News Three that officials will comment on the allegations after the first of the year.

Inside baseball (metaphor)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2011)
|The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. (November 2014)
The phrase "inside baseball" refers to a detail-oriented approach to the minutiae of a subject, which in turn requires such a specific knowledge about what is being discussed that the nuances are not understood or appreciated by outsiders.[1]
The term is typically applied to discussions of science, technology, entertainment, business, law, politics, or related subjects of which the public has some general knowledge, but whose inner workings do not need to be known in order to understand the concept as a whole. For example, a film critic may write a movie review using insider jargon, or information which regular movie goers would have little knowledge of or even interest in (such as citing the director's previous themes expressed in their movies in relation to the one being reviewed, because of the director's fascination with a particular school of filmmaking).
Its derivation is from a style of baseball play that emphasizes using small, unexciting tactics rather than more dramatic efforts.[1]

Statement from DIS President Joie Chitwood III on the passing of Chris Economaki
Chris Economaki was part of ABC's first telecast at Daytona International Speedway in 1961.
Iconic racing journalist Chris Economaki passed away early Friday morning. Economaki, known as the "Dean of American Motorsports Journalism," was 91.
At the age of 14, Economaki began selling single copies of National Speed Sport News and eventually became the publication's editor, a position he held for 60 years.
Economaki is also known for his work in television broadcasting with ABC's Wide World of Sports, CBS Sports and ESPN.
Said Daytona International Speedway President Joie Chitwood III:
"I am saddened by the news of the passing of Chris Economaki. Chris was a pioneer in motorsports journalism. Through his tireless work on National Speed Sport News to his powerful voice on radio and television broadcasts, he made significant contributions to the growth of the sport. His passion for motorsports will be sorely missed. Daytona International Speedway extends its deepest condolences to the family of Chris Economaki."

Austin Peay's new, balanced offense failed to deliver on the promise of the preseason in its season opener last Friday at UAB.
Coach Carrie Daniels said Wednesday afternoon the team is refusing to panic, but it was impossible for her and the Lady Govs after a 72-54 loss that featured 29 APSU turnovers. Seniors Meghan Bussabarger and Leslie Martinez have insisted since practice began that anyone on the team can score, but the two forwards took more than 55 percent of the shots and scored 29 of the team's 54 points against the Blazers.
"It's what we've talked about and it's happened in practice that ...

Alexis Dziena Interview, Fool's GoldPosted by: Sheila Roberts
MoviesOnline had the pleasure of interviewing Alexis Dziena at the Los Angeles press day for her new movie, "Fool's Gold," directed by Andy Tennant ("Hitch"). The movie also stars Matthew McConaughey, Kate Hudson, Donald Sutherland, Ewen Bremner, Kevin Hart, and Ray Winstone.
Ben "Finn" Finnegan (McConaughey) is an affable, modern-day treasure hunter who is obsessed with finding the legendary 18th century Queen's Dowry – 40 chests of priceless treasure that was lost at sea in 1715. In his quest, Finn has everything he has, including his marriage to Tess (Kate Hudson). Just as Tess has begun to rebuild her life, working aboard a mega-yacht owned by billionaire Nigel Honeycutt (Donald Sutherland), Finn discovers a vital clue to the treasure's whereabouts. Much to Tess' consternation, Finn maneuvers himself aboard Nigel's yacht and, using his roguish charm, convinces the tycoon and his celebutante daughter, Gemma (Alexis Dziena), to join him in the pursuit of the Spanish riches.
Alexis Dziena has portrayed an eclectic collection of roles in such films as Jim Jarmusch's "Broken Flowers," opposite Bill Murray and Sharon Stone; "Sex and Breakfast," opposite Macaulay Culkin; "Havoc" with Anne Hathaway; and "Strangers with Candy," starring Amy Sedaris. On television, she has co-starred in the ABC series "Invasion," as well as in the CBS television movie "Stone Cold," with Tom Selleck, and Lifetime's "She's Too Young," opposite Marcia Gay Harden. A graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Dziena is an accomplished singer, pianist and cellist, and is currently honing her skills on drums and guitar.
She will next be seen in the dramatic features "Tenderness," starring Russell Crowe, and "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist," opposite Michael Cera. Here's what she had to tell us about her recent adventures making "Fool's Gold" and what it was like sharing the water with cool red jellyfish called Irukandji that can deliver a pretty nasty sting:
Q: Your director was telling us that you were all in the water with the little jellyfish…
Alexis: Irukandji, yes.
Q: He says he didn't tell you why they were getting out of the water.
Alexis: You know what? I was so scared about the Irukandji because we had already found one at a previous location and that was why we had moved and I had to do a scene where I was supposed to be topless and I was so nervous about going in without having my skin covered because that's supposed to keep you safe from these things. So, Andy got in the water with me to make me feel comfortable and we're in the water, we're shooting the scene and everything was going good. I'm not thinking about it and, all of a sudden we hear 'Everyone get out of the water!' I was like, they're not gonna tell me but I know what it is and I kind of threw Andy out of the way and he went flyin'. They hadn't even got the ladder down and I'm like 'Get me out of the water!' People were pulling me up by my arms. It was all fine. Nobody got hurt or anything but those little things the size of a pinkie nail, they'll kill ya. They're scary.
Q: Your character is endearing but a little dense. Was it fun to play her?
Alexis: Totally. What I think is so great about her is that she doesn't care too much about what's happening as long as she's in the middle of the action. I think it's a symptom of growing up in the spotlight always performing and I think probably somewhat uncomfortable in real life because all she knows how to do is walk fabulous and look great and smile for the camera. She's larger than life which is always really fun to play.
Q: You didn't base her on Paris Hilton?
Alexis. There's definitely aspects that are common among anyone who grows up in the spotlight but I would say I didn't draw specifically from any one celebrity but common themes, definitely and I did my research reading US Weekly and all of that [laughter].
Q: What was it like working with Donald Sutherland as your dad?
Alexis: What an honor. I've been really fortunate to work with Bill Murray, Sharon Stone and Donald Sutherland and you always get a little bit like 'Oh my God, they're just so amazing.' It's a little intimidating to be working with these people. But, you get on the set and they're just like so sweet, so willing to help. Donald and his wife Francine pretty much adopted me while we were in Australia and took care of me totally. It's was very parental and nurturing and very sweet. He always gives great advice without a doubt.
Q: Such as?
Alexis: I remember one thing he was saying was to make sure that when you're doing off camera lines, sometimes, in the past, I've made the mistake of wanting to do something that I think is easier for them, whereas he reminded me 'Make sure you do exactly whatever you did on your side so you don't look bad when they react' and I'm like 'You're right.' That's true. Because if I do something all different, it's gonna make me look silly. Here I think I'm being generous. Basically, he said something that I've always thought myself but he kind of validated it, 'If it's funny, it's funny. Don't ever try to be funny because that's kind of the kiss of death.' While I always knew that, it's a different thing to see it in practice and he's such an artist in that way, and really the best experience was just being with him and being with wonderful actors more than exactly what they say.
Q: Was that you on the jet ski?
Alexis: Part of the time, yeah. We had a few scares. I lost Matthew once or twice [laughs]. I'm like 'Wow, this is light all of a sudden.' I turned around and Matthew's back there goin' like this [she waves her arms in the air]. But, he was a nice sport about it. There was only one time when they had a camera arm out like this [indicates across her path] and they wanted us to trail the boat. I was doing my best and that was the only time that Matthew was like [whispering] 'I think we need the stunt doubles'.. for him and for me. It's one thing to be on a jet ski with nothing in front of you but if you go too fast, you could be decapitated, that was a little scary but it was really fun.
Q: Were there any injuries?
Alexis: No. We got pretty lucky in that way. They made sure we practiced a whole lot being comfortable on the jet skis. They always had safety people there and stunt divers and anything that you didn't want to do, they didn't push. It was actually really fun. I had been on a jet ski once before and I was really excited to do it. I hadn't calculated how hard it would be to have another person on it and pick him up and all that but I only lost him a few times.
Q: Was that the most difficult scene you had to do in the water?
Alexis: Yeah, I think what was hard about that too was trying to get a lot of action done and still try to keep something intimate and us talking and figuring out what's happening. There's a lot to think about, a lot of noise, a lot of challenges shooting on the water. But, I think, probably the biggest challenge was wearing heels on a boat [laughter]. That was tough, keeping my balance.
Q: What were the dynamics on that boat working with Kate and Matthew?
Alexis: I think there is a degree of going a little crazy on a boat just by the circumstance of having like a hundred people in a tiny little space. But, it was really fun. Everyone had a really great attitude about it and Matthew was able to do his push-ups even in a small space [laughter]. It was really fun, especially with people like Matthew and Kate. I think the most wonderful thing about Matthew is that he's just so free-spirited and so carefree and he really knows how to make anything a good time. You couldn't find anyone less jaded or less spoiled by being so successful. So, he really kept the energy up and kept everyone laughing. Then Kate is so smart and such a wonderful role model of being a really prolific actress while having a family and doing it so young and so gracefully. So, it was fun. We tried not to let the pressures of shooting on the ocean get to us. It was all good.
Q: Are you prepared for your profile to rise, to be recognized on the street after this film?
Alexis: I guess we'll see. I hope so. I don't really get recognized all that often but it's always really flattering when it happens so I think it will be fun.
Q: You steal a lot of scenes in this movie. A lot of people are going to see it so your life will probably change.
Alexis: I hope so and thank you for saying so. I think it will be good. Hopefully, I won't get caught doing any weird things like tripping over my face or with a burger in my hands. But I'm sure that happens to everyone and you get over it, so whatever they throw at me, I'll take.
Q: Did playing this character prepare you for the glare of the spotlight?
Alexis: Yeah, I think getting to play Gemma I got to see what the pitfalls of it [are] and the glamorous aspect of it to a degree. I hadn't thought about it but I guess it does prepare me a little bit for it if it ever happens to me.
Q: Did you grow up near water?
Alexis: I grew up in New York City, in Manhattan, yeah. I went to school there and then I went to NYU for a while and I've been out here since a TV show I did called "Invasion" in 2005 and I thought I'd go back to New York after but it's so much easier to get work out here so I never made it back.
Q: When people recognize you now, is it for "Invasion" and do they ask about the show?
Alexis: Sometimes. But, surprisingly enough, people recognize me most from this Lifetime movie I did called "She's Too Young" which I always find very funny because I played a 14-year-old with syphilis [laughter]. They'll come up to me and I almost feel like 'Should I shake your hand? I don't want to [give you anything].'
Q: Do creepy guys ever come up to you and say 'I really liked you in Broken Flowers'?
Alexis: I've gotten a few letters from jail. [laughter] The worst was somebody sent me a computer print-out of myself naked and wanted me to sign it and I'm like 'Oh, I think I'll pass.'
Q: But you write back all the other inmates?
Alexis: [Laughs] Oh yeah, of course. Inmates are a major top priority.
Q: Are you Norah in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist?
Alexis: I'm not. Norah is played by Kat Dennings and Michael Cera's playing Nick and I play Tris, his ex-girlfriend who is kind of crazy and runs after them the whole night. It's really fun because it all happens in one night going from club to club. We had a really fantastic time because we actually shot in New York, night shoots. So, we'd come out for a break or whatever and some drunk would be going by yelling something and we were like 'This is just what we need' That's what the energy's really like.
Q: Was getting home when the sun came up freaky?
Alexis: Oh, it's terrible. Some people are fine with it. I always feel like a vampire. I'm okay as long as the sun's not up when I'm going to sleep but sleeping during the day is rough.
Q: Who do you play in Tenderness with Russell Crowe?
Alexis: The movie's about a young kid who is a serial killer basically and Russell plays a detective who is trying to entrap him so he uses me as bait. I meet the young kid in a juvenile detention center, leave him a note and he drives across country to meet me and, on the way, he meets another young girl who is kind of like a fan and obsessive. It's pretty dark. Then, when he gets to meet me, there's Russell and we've entrapped him. But I haven't seen it yet. I don't know when it's coming out. I think it's sometime soon, hopefully.
Q: You have a very exotic look. What are the origins of your family?
Alexis: I'm Italian, Irish and Polish.
Q: What kind of music are you into?
Alexis: I have pretty eclectic tastes but I feel like indie rock is kind of my go to genre but I'm actually getting really into hip hop recently.
Q: Any special artists?
Alexis: Yeah, I really like T.I. and that's sort of new for me because growing up in New York you never really listen to the radio because you're never in your car so my musical taste was always about ten years behind the times. So, I'm happy to say I now know a current artist and I like him.
Q: Have you met him?
Alexis: No. I'd love to meet him.
Q: He's nice.
Alexis: I'm sure. He looks nice.
Q:You're quite the musician; you're a cellist and what else do you play?
Alexis: Piano and drums.
Q: So why did you go into acting and not stay with music?
Alexis: Well, basically, I think acting has always been much more of a passion for me than music. I started playing piano when I was three so it's kind of my parents' doing and I continued it just because I love it as a hobby and then the other instruments and the singing… I went to a very artistic school, so a lot of it was ingrained in me as a child. But, none of the instruments I play or singing are really anything that I have the drive to do professionally as much as acting. You never know, I may end up pursuing one of them. I'm just not sure I'm good enough at any of them to really make a career out of it.
Q: You can just use it in a movie.
Alexis: I have actually. I played cello in a movie and it was crazy because it was a song that I could have actually played, but for financial reasons it was cheaper to have someone else record it [laughter] so they got a teacher for me to learn how to sync my movement to this recording. I'm like 'I don't need a teacher to play it' and they're like 'No, we need a teacher to show you how to fake it.' So they do it and then they used a different recording in the movie. I watched the movie and the whole thing's off. [laughs]
Q: Are we going to see an album from you one of these days?
Alexis: Maybe. It's hard to say. Not in the next year or two at least for sure but you never know. I'm still playing, still practicing, trying to learn drums without getting evicted [laughter].
"Fool's Gold" opens in theaters on February 8th.

Capital One will hire 175 workers in Sioux Falls as the national credit card giant extends its rapid growth in the local economy.
We are committed to building our workforce in Sioux Falls, David Long, director for Capital One, said Monday. Sioux Falls is a great location for our call center, and we are pleased to be bringing more high-quality jobs to the area.
Capital One has about 900 workers at its credit card processing center at 2200 E. Benson Road. The new hiring would bring that total near 1,075. It would push the company into the top 10 of Sioux Falls private employers and top 12 overall when also considering public schools and city employees.
Most of the new jobs will be customer service phone representatives who fieldincoming calls about credit card accounts from around the country.
Capital One entered the market in late 2011 when it took over HSBCs Sioux Falls operation. The company pledged then to keep the 400 HSBC positions and add 400 more. It met that goal and exceeded it by 100 in less than two years.
Thats pretty dramatic. You dont see that very often, said Mary Medema, director of workforce development for the Sioux Falls Development Foundation and Forward Sioux Falls.
The new employees will be joining a national financial power. Capital One, with its home office in McLean, Va., is a top 10 bank with $209 billion in deposits, $296 billion in assets and 42,000 employees in the U.S., Canada and United Kingdom.
The surge in hiring here has come even as the company went through its transition and remodeled its building.
They said whenever they had the opportunity, once the remodeling was done and they got everybody on the same system, they were going to try to fill the building, Medema said.
The Benson Road building has seen big swings in employment since 2000. Specialized Card Services had 1,050 employees there then. It later was under the Household name, then HSBC, which peaked at 900 workers before dropping to 400, she said.
The upsurge will give Sioux Falls three financial operations with more than 1,000 employees, as Capital One joins Wells Fargo at 2,858 and Citi at 2,700. First Premiers bank and bank card affiliate add another 935.
The financial services sector has 16,400 jobs locally, or 11.4 percent of the total 144,000 in the metro area covering Minnehaha, Lincoln, Turner and McCook counties. That percentage was higher a few years ago, Medema said. Financial growth flattened recently, as medical and retail sectors grew. That trend alongside the recovery from the economic slowdown and 2008-09 recession make Capital Ones growth here notable.
I think they came in with a very attractive employment package, a very positive brand, Medema said. They came in probably at a really interesting time where maybe a lot of folks were ready to enter or re-enter the market post-slowdown.
That gave Capital One an edge in employment, she said.
When you are the new organization in town, you kind of have one shot at that, Medema said. Knowing they were going to add 400 jobs meant there would be a variety of jobs in the call center. ... That causes some headaches for existing call centers that cant claim that newness till the market settles down.
Bill Adamson, associate professor of economics at South Dakota State University, said Capital Ones growth here reflects a national view that the state has very favorable regulations for issuing bank cards. While the growth is good employment news, reliance on consumer debt shows dismal habits that are particularly hard on low-wage and middle-class families, he said.
It reflects that households dont have a good pattern of saving. They are essentially living beyond their means when theyre financing daily expenses like food and gasoline on their credit card, he said.
The overall use of credit cards reflects a national problem. Growth here reflects a favorable business climate. If it doesnt happen here, its going to happen somewhere else, Adamson said.
Forbes named Capital One Financial Corp. one of its 100 Best Companies to Work For.
In discussing the new jobs, Long said Monday that the company is always on the lookout for top talent who can bring a variety of thoughts, ideas and backgrounds to serve our customers and help us continue to grow and succeed.
Its announcement said the company is seeking self-starters with attention to detail who also possess strong written and verbal communication skills. In a sign of the times of health reform, the announcement added that workers are offered comprehensive medical coverage including health, dental, vision and prescription discounts, as well as free preventive-care visits for employees and their families.

Dear Readers:
The narrative histories for the 2008 academic year are edited and posted to the web in this seventh edition of �Tell Me a Story.�� The best narratives from the Spring 2008 class in Historiography met the standards for excellence in history set in the course and so are presented here as a gateway to take their readers on a trip through time.
The story of the journey that students pass through in this class has gone national! �You can read about the learning that takes place in this class in my article �History in the Trenches:� Teaching the Undergraduate Capstone Course� published in the April 2009 Edition of the American Historical Association�s Perspectives.� The course is based on a �tiered� process where students practice the steps that lead to the writing, presentation, and publication of a serious piece of historical research.

With the standards for HST 430: Historiography set so high, each narrative that is published in the seventh edition of �Tell Me a Story� is an excellent one.� So it makes choosing the �Best Narrative� another tough decision.� This year the award for �Best Narrative� goes to Daniel Subleski for his thoughtful piece on �The Greatness of George Washington.�

Longshoremen help unload a Chiquita shipment from a ship at the Port of Wilmington on Monday.
- Filed Under
Kinder Morgan has suspended negotiations for a long-term lease of the Port of Wilmington, after weeks of rancor from unions and businesses operating there.
The Houston-based company's president of terminals, John W. Schlosser, sent a letter to state officials Thursday afternoon announcing the decision. The letter cited discord with a local union official as a prime reason for the decision.
Schlosser said the company is "suspending our efforts to secure a long-term lease arrangement with the Port of Wilmington" despite the "diligent and sincere efforts" of state leaders. ...

Shropshire Towns
To discover Shropshire's districts and towns, please click the district of Shropshire you would like to explore on the map below. Alternatively click the relevant text link for the town below.
North Shropshire
North Shropshire District
You'll find peaceful countryside and a unique landscape of sandstone hills, Meres and Mosses, and the four pretty little market towns of Ellesmere, Wem, Whitchurch and Market Drayton where old fashioned service and a warm welcome awaits.
Is the heart of Shropshire's meres and mosses, where the nutrient rich waters of the Mere attract an abundant amount of wildlife. This can all be viewed from the comfort of the visitor centre using CCTV.
Market Drayton
A market - so good that the town was named after it. The town is also known as the home of gingerbread which has been baked to a secret recipe in the town for over 200 years. Some say rum is included; but just in case it isn't the locals tend to dip it in port before they eat it.
Lies at the heart of North Shropshire, a perfect base for exploring in all directions. It is, as our friends across the water might describe as "quaint", filled with pretty Georgian buildings and delightful 'proper' small shops. The annual sweet pea show is a riot of colour and scent to delight the eye and tickle the nostril.
The oldest continually inhabited town in Shropshire. Whitchurch is also home to the firm J. B. Joyce (est. 1690), the oldest tower clock makers in the world.
North Shropshire's Villages
North Shropshire has many pretty villages sitting snuggly between our market towns. Many are very picturesque and are well worth a visit.
Oswestry is named after King Oswald of Northumbria, who died in AD641. Reverend Spooner was educated here and Dick Whittington also reputedly came from the nearby village of Whittington.
Shrewsbury is Shropshire's county town and is almost an island, encapsulated as it is in the meandering loop of the River Severn. Charles Darwin was born here and his statue sits outside Shrewsbury Library watching over his town.
Ironbridge & Telford
It's all so peaceful to day... Strange to think, then, that 250 years ago this was the furnace in which the Industrial Revolution was being forged. But it was here, within the dramatic gorge of the River Severn, that the great Ironmaster Abraham Darby (the first) perfected the secret of smelting iron with cheap and plentiful coke, rather than expensive charcoal. There are also the 10 Ironbridge Gorge Museums that are well worth a visit.
Telford named after Thomas Telford the renowned civil engineer, Telford's gleaming buildings and hi tech businesses mark it out as a town for the future. One of the UK's fastest growing and most successful new towns - it contrasts with its historic neighbour Ironbridge the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.
Wellington sits comfortably in the shade of the Wrekin, which dominates the landscape. The proximity of the town to the Wrekin means that it is a popular spot for walkers wishing to work their way to the top.
Madeley is full of history, its orgins can be traced back to the 8th Century and it is recorded in the Doomsday book.
Newport is one of Shropshire's picturesque market towns, located 10 miles from Telford on the Shropshire/Staffordshire border between two streams, River Meece and the Strine Brook, both tributaries of the River Tern.
Was described by Charles I as the "Finest View in all my Kingdom" and its easy to see why, for the town remains as stunning today as it was 350 years ago. It is also home to the Severn Valley Railway, Bridgnorth Cliff Railway - England's oldest inland Funicular railway and RAF Cosford - catch the last of the few.
Situated only 4 miles from the nearby town of Much Wenlock, Broseley sits on the lip of the wooded Ironbridge Gorge and houses many reminders of its industrial past.
Home to Boscobel House and the Royal Oak, where Charles II did snooze while avoiding capture by Cromwell's bloodthirsty hordes. Nearby, you'll find the Royal Air Force Museum at Cosford. There are over 80 aircraft on view in three wartime hangars on an active airfield. Chocks away!
Much Wenlock
Is home of the Modern Olympic Games, honestly! They were the brainchild of William Penny Brookes, his lofty aim was to provide the locals with an alternative to one of their favourite pastimes: drinking. Fortunately Shropshire's many delightful pubs seem to have survived his attentions. In fact, many of our innkeepers have branched out into serving fine food too. We don't know what happened to the Olympics.
Albrighton village High Street has not altered too much over the years - the half timbered inns and Georgian facades still make the street as picturesque as it was when the lime trees were planted back in 1832.
Cosford is home to the Royal Air Force Museum which houses 70 aircraft and is home to War Planes, Missiles, Transport & Training and Research & Development collections.
Much Wenlock

South Shropshire
South Shropshire District
A landscape of green golden valleys rising to dramatic hills and moorlands. A hidden history of Marcher Lords - long since dead, concealed pagan rites and legends, castles and tiny hamlets all waiting to be found. No wonder this is officially an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Gastronomic Capital of Shropshire and home of the 14th best restaurant in the world. Ludlow is also an official 'slow' town with a quality of life quite apart from the hustle and bustle of the modern day.
Bishop's Castle
A traditional Old English town with old fashioned butchers, bakers and other high street shops. The town has a house on crutches and there are two museums celebrating local history and the railway.
Church Stretton
'Little Switzerland' - without the wolves and avalanches. A thriving antiques centre with over 60 stalls is open every day and nearby Acton Scott Historic Farm will give you a taste of farming at the turn of the 19th Century well before mechanisation.
Craven Arms
Is home to Stokesay Castle, the finest 13th Century fortified manor house in England. The town is an ideal place for long walks along scenic routes through Shropshire's idyllic countryside.
One of "the quietest places under the sun". AE Housman. Clun is a very peaceful place, very pretty and has walks galore with Offa's Dyke, Caer Caradoc and Bury Ditches Hill forts nearby.
Cleobury Mortimer
Cleobury Mortimer is set on the flanks of the Clee Hills - Titterstone Clee and Brown Clee which has the highest summit south of the Pennines. Surrounded by panoramic views and wonderful walks.
South Shropshire's Villages
South Shropshire has some of the prettiest villages in the whole of the county. They are ideal to explore at your leisure and stroll to the nearest pub for a bite to eat.
