Lifetime's courtship of William and Kate movie serves up royal wedding pre-nup
by Ed Bark on April 17th 2011 at 10:07 pm
- Comments off
A pretty big wedding is coming soon. Perhaps you've heard of it.
Television's gang coverage of the April 29th I do's between Prince William and Kate Middleton gets going in earnest this week with a suitably cuddly little Lifetime network movie.
William & Kate, premiering Monday, April 18th, stars two relative unknowns in the title roles, with Ben Cross of Chariots of Fire fame chipping in as Prince Charles even though he looks nothing at all like him.
Queen Elizabeth is left out, by the way. As is Prince Charles' second wife, Camilla Parker-Bowles, save for a brief mention near movie's end. The late Princess Diana is shown for just a few seconds worth of archival footage, with William vowing to his dad that "I will never allow someone I love to be treated how my mother was treated."
William and Kate respectively are played by Nico Evers-Swindell (the now defunct Guiding Light and guest appearances in various crime series) and Camilla Luddington (the soon to be defunct Days of Our Lives and guest appearances in various crime series). Both acquit themselves reasonably well under the circumstances in a film that includes scenes such as William making a mess of a lasagna recipe and Kate promenading down a runway in a fashion show nightie that prompts her future fiance to first take note of her hotness.
There are a few bedroom scenes, but no depictions of anything sexual between the sheets. The two principals instead talk about their future together, with William promising that "nothing will come between us" after their same-year graduations from Scotland's prestigious University of St. Andrews.
"You promise?" she asks.
"I promise," he vows. But the tabloids, his royal duties and just a bit of a wandering eye render this a vow he can't entirely keep. Humiliated by "Waitie Katie" headlines and William's off-and-on availability, Kate at last becomes royally fed up when William says he plans to spend three more years in military training. He's pretty snippy about it, too, prompting Kate to lament being a "prisoner in my own flat" before ordering a halt to the vehicle they're sharing.
"You want freedom?" she blares. "You want space? You've got it!"
"Get back in the car, Kate" he orders. "C'mon!"
You go, girl. And this movie of course is aimed at Lifetime's target audience of women viewers, meaning that William isn't likely to be garnering much sympathy until he finally wises up and admits he's been "stupid and immature."
It's tempting to envision the real-life William and Kate laughing hysterically at their made-for-TV movie depictions. But they've likely got a few more important things taking up their days and nights as the countdown to the big day accelerates into over-drive.
William & Kate also has a bit part for Victoria Tennant as a stern royal manners instructor named Celia. Once upon a time the London native was married to comedian Steve Martin and starring in two mega- ABC miniseries, The Winds of War and its sequel, War and Remembrance. In this outing, she pops in to haughtily show Kate how to properly curtsey and keep her knees together while exiting from autos.
Cross is still in there punching, with a role as the emperor Tiberius in ABC's upcoming remake of Ben-Hur and a supporting role as Sarek in the well-received 2009 Star Trek feature film. But his role as Prince Charles is pretty much a throwaway in a movie that paints by the numbers before serving up its requisite fairytale ending.
In this case, that's William on bended knee with ring in hand, and Kate happily nodding her assent. Her real-life ascent to Princess Kate is coming soon to multiple TV screens around the world.

The NCAA tournament second round was filled with madness on March 20 and 21. Seven double digit seeds won, while many more threatened favorites and three No. 1 seeds got scared. But this is often when the NCAA tournament begins to restore order, although the likes of the Pitt Panthers, North Dakota State Bison, Harvard Crimson and Dayton Flyers look to change that as the third round starts on March 22.
The No. 1 overall seeded Gators didn't start their NCAA tournament run on a high note, only beating the Albany Great Danes by 12 points on March 20. In contrast, the Panthers had the big blowout of the South region in throttling the Colorado Buffaloes. Pitt often got knocked off early as a top seed in years past, but now it looks to be on the other end against Florida.
If the Gators lose in the first game of the third round, it could set the tone for even bigger March Madness ahead. After a round of 64 with many upsets and near-upsets, time will tell if the tournament favorites can round back into form.
The Syracuse Orange are trying to round back into the form that got them a 25-0 start, with the 11'th seeded Dayton Flyers standing in the way. The now-healthy Michigan State Spartans seem to have become the dominant team they were expected to be, yet the Harvard Crimson are now out to derail them. Meanwhile, the defending champion Louisville Cardinals need a championship-level performance after surviving their near-upset to the Manhattan Jaspars.
By the time the day is over, half of the NCAA tournament Sweet 16 field will be set. Will the eight winners be mostly made up of favorites, or will the chaos reign for one more weekend? Even if most of the prospective Cinderella meet their end, all it takes is one to change the trajectory of March Madness -- which the Panthers, Crimson and even the Saint Louis Billikens can still do.
The accompanying list details the eight third round games being held today, including their projected starting times. Projecting the results stands to be much trickier, however.
Gators look to dominate again
Pittsburgh vs Florida, 12:15 p.m. est: After Florida struggled to beat No. 16 seed Albany while Pittsburgh blew out Colorado, the Gators look to restore some order.
Cardinals, Smith aim for Sweet 16 return
Saint Louis vs Louisville, 2:45 p.m. est: The Billikens and Cardinals should have both been upset in their first games, but they each survived and are out to take advantage of their second chance.
Wolverines take on Texas
Texas vs Michigan, 5:15 p.m. est: Caris LeVert, Wolverines won low scoring contest in second round, while Longhorns won high scoring thriller over Sun Devils at the buzzer.
Bison go for second upset
North Dakota State vs San Diego State, 6:10 p.m. est: The Bison go after their second straight upset, while the Aztecs look to recover from overtime scare against New Mexico State.
Orange coming back?
Dayton vs Syracuse, 7:10 p.m. est: Struggling Orange got back on their feet in opening win, but will potential Cinderella Flyers finish off their late free fall?
Badgers try to cruise again
Oregon vs Wisconsin, 7:45 p.m. est: Bo Ryan, Badgers got biggest blowout victory of second round, yet Ducks stand to put up a greater fight.
Payne to put on another show?
Harvard vs Michigan State, 8:40 p.m. est: The Crimson pulled a second round upset for the second year in a row, but Adreian Payne and the Spartans are in the way of Harvard taking the next step.
Wildcats face familiar foe
Connecticut vs Villanova, 9:40 p.m. est: Jay Wright and the Wildcats take on former Big East rivals in the Huskies, who already knocked off local Villanova rival St. Joseph's.

If you have been wondering how to get more opportunities and interviews, here are three quick suggestions. Please note, these suggestions have been tuned to the field of Linux Systems Administration. You should be able to find similar groups in your own chosen profession as well. If you can't think of any, comment on this article, and let the community help you.
1.) Use the social media of the profession.
Every techie interest has one or several email mailing lists which may or may not consider themselves Users Groups. These are places where people talk about and solve problems they have with that specific technology. Since this is a Linux and open-source group, I will use the example of the http://ale.org mailing list. This is an Atlanta-based list and the members meet monthly to see talks about Linux-related things. This is a great place to become a member of the usual crowd without being a guru yourself. There are a lot of extremely talented and experienced people on this list, and a lot of people who ask questions. When you see a post by somebody with a problem you just solved, you can offer the solution you found. It is reasonable to expect that people will have a large number of alternative suggestions, but rather than think of it as a competition...
Read the other answers as ideas that you didn't have to come up with on your own. Because the people that are offering ideas are often experts with years of experience, they may be a little sketchy on exactly how to do the thing.
Research answers before you just stick your hand out.
On mailing lists, the people offering their expertise FOR NO COST are often very short in answers to questions they believe the requester should have looked up themselves. It is useless (to you) to get mad at the answer.
For instance, here is a question you might ask and an answer that is likely.:
"I want to run an application to delete files older than 2 weeks from a specific folder"
Why you might want this: the script you are writing adds a log file to the /var/log/myscript folder every night. If it were left to do that for a while without intervention, it could easily fill the /var partition or even your whole hard drive.
An average answer might be:
"'grep' for the files and 'rm' them." or
"Use 'find' to delete the old files" or
With these accurate suggestions you could do...
Absolutely Nothing!
Unless you research 'grep' and 'find' quite widely to discover how anybody could use them. There is quite a lot of missing information in these 2 answers, but it is the information missing that implies that the writer assumes you are experienced and have just forgotten the answer to your question. A small nudge is polite, but an encyclopedic answer would be a little rude. If somebody asked you where the State Capitol of GA was, it would be reasonable to answer "Atlanta." This is the level of question above for the ALE list. A short correct answer beats a long rambling answer. If they really wanted to know the history and the reason behind the choice of Atlanta as Capitol, they then must needs resort to research.
Sometimes people give less than full answers because they themselves do not remember exactly how to do something because they haven't done it for a while. Then pressing them for specifics means they get the impression that you want them to do the research that you ought to be doing.
It would be easier and faster for them to refresh their memory about the issue than for you to discover it for yourself, but remember they are doing you a favour. Since one of your reasons for being on the list in the first place was to get a job, you are shooting yourself in the foot by developing a reputation as a "sponge" which is a person who expects everybody else to do the hard work for them.
User Group mailing lists vary in style immensely. The ALE list is light-hearted and also full of personalities a little like yours. Sometimes the responses are a bit tongue-in-cheek, and that often reads a bit snarky. If you are a person who comes in with a question like, "Which linux distro is best, X or Y" you will start a religious discussion. A technical list will handle only so many of these unfocused discussion questions. A post about a specific question or a specific solution you found will go over better.
If you come with a question like, "Why does my command-line string, that works when I type it directly into the command prompt, fail to give me the result I expect when I put it in a bash script?" you may get very interesting answers that will increase your knowledge much more than the previous question.
2. Go to Meetings
Being a list member may be all that is possible. If you are in Maine and they are holding meetings in Bangladesh, you will probably not make the monthly meetings. However, if there is any way you can get to a few meetings and meet some people, it is far better for your career. There are 2 reasons for this:
1. You become a real person to the others on the list who go to the meetings. If you are at the meetings you have sideband (non-list) conversations in which you may hear that jobs are available at XYZ corporation. Sometimes such things are announced on-list, but they are more likely to be mentioned in person.
2. If you know the people in the field who are going to meetings, they may help with your job hunt in other ways. You can add to your resume that you are a member of the user group, (in this case, ALE), on your resume. If an interviewer asks you about your membership in the group and all you can say is you read email, you don't want it on your resume.
3. Join an Open-Source Project
This is a little more specific than user groups. Joining a project in which you have an interest, is usually informal. Do some documentation or some how-to piece and give it to the project. Get the source code and read through it. If the project has a "To Do" list, see if there are any of the items you can do, and do it.
* You will be getting real experience that you can put in a new section on your resume called "Open Source and Community Experience."
* You will start becoming a known value on an international project stage.
* You are showing prospective employers that you are not merely driven by a need to eat, but would do this work even when it is not paying you.
All three of these steps are scary and take you out of your comfort zone. Accept this up front, and start going. The more people you meet at the events or the more people you interact well with, the less scary these things become, and the more likely you are to meet people you know from one venue at another venue. To find the best Atlanta-based IT Security social group, look up the Def-Con 404 group. Some of the best contacts you can meet in the Atlanta IT Security profession are on their mailing list and show up at monthly meetings at Manuel's Tavern.

Did Taylor Swift Really "Crash" Kennedy Wedding?
"Taylor Swift crashed the Kennedy wedding in Boston over the weekend and did not leave after being twice asked to do so," reports the Boston Herald.
The bride Kyle's mother Victoria Gifford Kennedy claims that her nephew Conor Kennedy and Swift "texted me an hour before the wedding and asked if they could come" to the nuptials at the Fairmont Copley Plaza hotel on August 18.
"I responded with a very clear 'Please do not come.' They came anyway," she tells the paper.
Victoria continues, "I personally went up to Ms. Swift, whose entrance distracted the entire event, politely introduced myself to her, and asked her as nicely as I could to leave."
"It was like talking to a ghost. She seemed to look right past me," she adds.
But Swift's rep tells Gossip Cop that there is "no truth" to Victoria's version of events.
The rep says, "Taylor was invited to the wedding and the bride thanked her profusely for being there."
Swift also spent the rest of the weekend with the Kennedys in Cape Cod, which would have been unlikely if she had really been kicked out of the family nuptials.

Many players will argue the difficulty of PvE against PvP differs greatly. They mostly argue PvE is easier than PvP however a handful of people would disagree. So to help those who want to know, I'm going to be breaking down the differences between the different levels of PvE against the various brick walls you smash into and sometimes through in PvP.
But first, what is PvE and PvP? Both are synonymous with classic pen and paper RPGs and almost anything dealing with the video game industry. PvE (Players vs. Environment) is usually taking into account an actual player versus any non-player, i.e. a mob. Many people don't realize that PvE was revolutionized way back during the historical "Spartacus" era with Roman royalty and elite laying on couches watching various criminals, slaves, and even suicidal warriors do battle against various beasts, lions being the most popular. Of course we cannot forget what created it all, PvP (Player vs. Player), in 310 BCE when some blood thirsty Romans known as the Campanians conquered the Samnites and decided to do battle with those who survived. This later died off for about 75 years or so until it was brought back.
So why do we continue this insane tradition of battling against various machine and flesh A.I. in a virtual world? Keep reading and find out!
Number of Players For PvE you could just solo through wades of quests, mobs, and eventually loot, never playing around others schedules except downtime and your own. Sometimes you are dealing with the server downtime and if you play on a PvP server like the staff of FI, people who try to mess with you. Sometimes however, you'll be required to grab a friend or four to bring down a difficult mob, be it Problim in Tol Barad, a really drunk Dwarf with super-alcohol induced strength in Twilight Highlands or an endless dungeon full of Trolls deep in the woods of Ghostlands. Of course if you belong to a guild with other like-minded people, raiding does come into play, albeit with a heavier schedule requirement. From the more difficult 10-man size to the graphical and logistical insanity of 25-man, PvE caters to several sizes of gameplay.
For PvP, it's more a combination of luck and skill that requires a bit more time and dedication for almost anything short of raiding (as they share almost the same time dedication). Now I am in no means saying PvE requires no skill or luck, but mobs won't try to constantly CC and stun you while turning you into a piñata, hoping for honor and gold to drop out. Solo PvP technically doesn't exist as you require to find another person to actually battle with. From there we have 2v2, 3v3, and 5v5 arenas all the way to the massive 40v40 battlegrounds. The main focus is 10v10 and 15v15 for Rated Battlegrounds, which will be covered in it's own separate section below. What makes PvP so awesome for even the raiders is probably the battlegrounds in general, due to feeling like you're in a huge outdoor dungeon trying to take down the enemy. It isn't just a simple move when this happens, a 'pop a CD when this happens' kind of combat. The only real issue is lack of communication: most people won't listen and wish to their own thing.
|find the resto shaman...yup nope
For PvE, composition is a very basic 'fill one of these basic roles', be it tank, healer, or the most common, DPS. Dungeons require these roles to be filled in a 1 to 1 to 3 ratio, but due to having four classes that are pure DPS on top of most people wanting to just see big numbers, it's become rare to find non-DPS. In raiding, the composition is lax at best unless you're part of a very hardcore progression guild seeking to obtain server firsts. Usually, 2 tanks, 3 healers, and 5 DPS consisting of 3 range and 2 melee are the cookie cutter for raids with gear and experience being top priority. The tanks are rarely set in stone unless the guild doesn't want two of the same kind of tank, and with the homogenisation of most classes, the healers are in the same boat as tanks. DPS is probably the only strict portion of the composition for buff reasons.
In PvP it's a little more strict if you seek to become a good PvPer. Certain specs work extremely well for PvP due to the amount of CCs and burst they can bring to the table, on top of utility and mobility. Obviously standing still for too long will get you killed quickly in PvP unless you know what you're doing. PvP roles are also extremely varied. Each spec is it's own role when it comes to PvP, the best example would be rated compositions, as they are more closely related to progression guild runs in terms of class and spec diversity. Protection Warrior and Holy Paladin are almost requirements for any rated group, as they are the flag runner and flag runner's healer. Discipline Priest, Restoration Druids and Shamans are the common healers for everyone else.Frost Mage, Subtlety Rogue, Arms Warrior, Balance Druid (Yes, I said Balance Druid), Frost Death Knight, and Affliction Warlock usually eat up the remaining spots as the bursters and crowd control specialists. Hunters and the rest of the other specs not listed are usually not first considered for everything, however there are several rated battleground groups that use Hunters as well as Enhancement Shamans, Arcane and Fire Mages, Protection Paladins, Blood Death Knights, and the other various specs that normally don't see much action in PvP.
|i love you....
Ever since the original Dungeons and Dragons, most PvE adventures would eventually lead to a dungeon in which you'd find your way to the end, defeating any man or monster in your path to treasure and loot. Blizzard spares no expense in building their dungeons and raids, filling them with wonderful challenges and epic loot. As a raider, this is a wonderful experience to go through them, especially when they're more open like Firelands, giving the raid an open world feel. Now I have nothing against the previous dungeons or raids, having Ulduar be my favorite of them all so far, but after traveling deep underground and following tunnels to a line of bosses, it feels like I'm just going through a convention line and grabbing autographs of different people one at a time, with the occasional pen loot.
Unlike raids, rateds are an open field of battle for bloodshed, but more importantly, always have a goal both sides are trying to obtain. The best example is Isle of Conquest, where each side's ultimate goal is defeat the enemy general, however to obtain this both sides must take control of the various locations, be it the factory, docks, or hangar, and blast open the enemy fortress to get to the enemy. With an airship for each side, several siege engines, and massive cannons on each fortress, it is no easy feat to complete. Another good example would be the open fields of Tol Barad, very similar to the old Wintergrasp of Wrath, Tol Barad has three locations that the attacking force must obtain and hold, a king of the hill style gameplay for an entire zone.
End Game
This is a major juncture for everyone because once you've hit the level cap, what else is there to do? For those who don't wish to play against others, dailies, achievements, professions, dungeon and raid grinding, and holiday events spur on those who want to keep going with their maxed out character. Dailies are there for minor gold replenishment or even building to those who just want to kill something once a day and reap some reward from it. Professions, while beneficial, can become a huge gold boon for those willing to research and farm materials, though not everyone has the patience to play with open markets. Dungeons have been the sole point for many games, and for WoW it's your stepping stone from fresh level cap to entry level raiding. Raiding has become a very popular part of WoW, and even has e-sport type events to see which guild is the best.
When it comes to PvP, the only real end-game is the same thing you've been doing since you began your PvP lifestyle, with a few differences. With raiding becoming an e-sport recently, arenas have been holding that title since the beginning, and it wouldn't be any surprise if rated battlegrounds jumped into the e-sport ring as well. Dungeons are respectively replaced by regular battlegrounds for anyone wishing to become part of the competitive scene, and then stepping up from there into either arena or rated battlegrounds, or sometimes both. Of course there are those who don't have the time or wish to get into either, and still stick in regular battlegrounds.
|zerg zerg zerg!!!!
Each side of this argument has it's crown jewel that just makes it so wonderfully epic that it brings back those hardcore enthusiasts. For myself on the PvE end, Ulduar was probably the best thing to ever be raided, though I wasn't able to run anything back in Classic or BC. What made Ulduar so wonderful was the vehicle combat they added for Flame Leviathan, and the open feeling it gave the first four bosses. This was probably the best dungeon designed for the time, only to be overshadowed by Icecrown Citadel months later, but it still changed how both we as the players, and Blizzard, looked at raids. I felt like I farmed everything up to The Keepers, in which I practically did. Even after Icecrown Citadel, I still had a warm, or albeit, cold place in my heart for Ulduar.
When it came to PvP, I wasn't much for it back in Wrath. I have changed my tune in Cataclysm which brings us to the jewels of Alterac Valley and Isle of Conquest. A while before I got into World of Warcraft, I heavily played Battlefield 2142, and would always seek to join any game that included as many people as possible. At the time the max was 64 players a server, and the games would be epic. Alterac Valley, before the resource change, was very epic. If a small force sat around defending the only way to their leader, a turtle would break out, but instead of dwindling resources to nothing, it sometimes would become hours of honor farming. Isle of Conquest is a hybrid of Alterac Valley, Arathi Basin, and Strand of the Ancients. Another large scale map with several objectives, war machines, two airships, and two leaders. A lot of people argue that it's one of the worst battlegrounds Blizzard could have released, especially due to the hatred of Alterac Valley, but I sometimes enjoy it due to it being the only current end-game instance with any siege vehicle besides Strand of the Ancients. The usual lack of coordination from one side is the downfall, but the siege warfare quickly make up for this in the end.
At the End of the Day
Both PvE and PvP players share a few key qualities. They both play to see what the game has to offer or be competitive against others to show off their ego, especially those who almost do it religiously. Both are grinding for gear at the end of the day, both having to rely on lady luck and skill. In the end, all that matters is they're enjoying the game they play.

ELKHART -- SoMa's press conference was like a Gateway to good news for downtown Elkhart.
City officials on Friday, May 30, announced details of two initiatives involving the private sector that will give downtown Elkhart and the city's Jazz Fest a major boost.
Representatives of SoMa, the downtown revitalization group, announced the Elkhart Jazz Festival had gained a new corporate sponsor and also unveiled new loan program that will allow downtown property owners to make improvements.
The announcements were made in the lobby of the Lerner Theatre with a large number of city officials and others in attendance.
Representatives of Forest River announced it agreed to serve as a new corporate sponsor for the jazz festival, the three-day event that kicks off June 20.
David Smith, general manager of the Lerner, said the recreational van company will provide $50,000 for the upcoming jazz fest and an equal amount next year.
Smith thanked Forest River President and CEO Pete Liegl for the support.
"Pete Liegl and the Forest River team have long-running commitment to Elkhart and our community as a whole. We welcome them as a primary sponsor," Smith said.
Mike Terlep, president of Coachmen RV, a division of Forest River, expressed pride in being "part of this great community" and mentioned his affection for SoMa's "Live, Work and Play" mantra.
"We work hard to bring enjoyment to others and that's one of the common traits between Forest River and what we bring with our products and what the jazz festival brings," Terlep said.
Possibly the biggest news of the day came with the announcement that Downtown Elkhart Inc., had assembled a new loan program with $1.6 million dollars for property owners in the downtown business district to potentially access.
The Gateway Mile Loan Program, named after the city's new marketing theme recently announced for downtown Elkhart, is the first loan pool focused solely on the central business district, according to DEI's executive director Dan Boecher, a former banker who worked to assemble the cooperation of the local financial community.
The program, he said, will encourage the continuing momentum of investment for new and expanding businesses in the downtown.
While the downtown is in the midst of an upswing in momentum, Boecher acknowledged "our market is not exactly where we want it to be," a likely reference to numerous vacant store fronts.
"We see this as a tremendous tool to assist those businesses" seeking to locate in the downtown or seek improvements to existing businesses, Boecher said.
The participating banks include First Source Bank, Teachers Credit Union, Inova Fedeal Credit Union, Interra Credit Union, Lake City Bank and Old National Bank, he said.
Representatives of the banks were lined up behind Boecher as he spoke.
Their commitment represents a "tremendous statement of support and all of you should be commended on behalf of your institutions for the commitment you've made here in Elkhart," Boecher said of the assembled group.
The group will be among those serving on a loan committee that will review and ensure that any project that receives funding will be one that's well thought out, well backed and has a high likelihood of success, he said.
"Downtown Elkhart is very much open for business and we look forward to many ribbon cuttings of businesses that access these funds," he said.
One of the first businesses to apply will likely be Kurt Janowsky, a restaurateur who plans to open a new restaurant later this summer on South Main Street. The restaurant is tentatively called Artisan.
Janowsky said he believes the new program is perfectly geared toward businesses who lease buildings. Acquiring loans for improvements is often more difficult for businesses that don't own the buildings they use.
Janowsky said he wants to improve the future eatery's facade.
Initially, he wasn't planning on doing much to the exterior.
"When I became aware this fund might be available, that excited me and so I looked into it," Janowsky said. "Without it, we'd have a difficult time" making improvements to the exterior.
The media event was also a chance to formally unveil the city's new marketing plan that embodies a new branding slogan for the downtown known as The Gateway Mile.
Mayor Dick Moore said the slogan and symbol signifies that the gates of the downtown are open and lead to a "treasure hunt" of opportunities.
Moore recapped a list of downtown amenities and expressed confidence with the new Gateway Mile Loyalty Card, a discount card that will be available to anyone free of change and provide discounts to participating downtown merchants.
"Look for the Gateway Mile symbol on doors and windows and look to enjoy a mile-long list of surprising benefits," Moore told the crowd.
The long list of changes that are happening in the downtown, Moore said, is the result of a group of community advocates who got together and determined "how to open the gate and the direction our downtown would take once the gate was open," he said, referring to SoMa.

Record number of children's books borrowed in 2011 as library closures continue - but the fight back is underway
More than a third of all library books are borrowed by children, and five children's writers are amongst the top ten most borrowed authors in UK libraries. Nearly 100 million children's books were borrowed during 2010/11, which is the highest figure ever, although it comes at a bad time with the current proposed closures of UK libraries.
Former children's laureate and much-loved author Jacqueline Wilson is the most borrowed author of the last ten years, clocking up more than 16million loans according to the Public Lending Right. The other children's authors to make the top ten are Daisy Meadows, who is behind the Rainbow Magic series; Horrid Henry author Francesca Simon; The Gruffalo author Julia Donaldson and Kipper author Mick Inkpen. In 2009/10, seven out of the ten most borrowed authors were children's writers, with the additions of Charlie and Lola author Lauren Child and Terry Deary of the Horrible Histories series.
"Many children still love borrowing books," Jacqueline Wilson said. "That's why we need our excellent libraries, so that all children can have free access to a huge variety of books."
A year ago professionals predicted that 600 libraries in the UK could close; so far 32 have. The Public Libraries News estimates that around a tenth of the UK's 4600 libraries are currently under threat, have been closed or have left council control. Recently legal challenges saw libraries in Somerset and Gloucestershire saved, while protests failed to save six libraries in Brent. Further protests are going on in Oxfordshire, Doncaster and Surrey.
Campaigners are particularly incensed by the lack of action on the part of those ministers whose role it is to protect cultural and educational provision: the culture minister, Ed Vaizey, and the culture secretary, Jeremy Hunt, who is seen as failing in his legal duty to ensure the provision of a "comprehensive and efficient" library service (a responsibility set out in the 1964 Public Libraries & Museums Act). Author and campaigner Julia Donaldson - the seventh most borrowed author in the UK - described them as "singularly unresponsive".
The Shadow Libraries Minister Dan Jarvis condemned library closures recently, saying: "These are undoubtedly difficult times, and with them come difficult decisions, but there can be no excuse for government policies that are short-sighted and destructive."
He said that the people hit the hardest by library closures are the poorest: "The men, women and children who cannot afford the latest laptop…these are the people you find using the library computers, books and social space. They are the ones in the library doing their homework, searching for jobs and striving to improve their life opportunities."
Next week the culture, media and sport select committee begins taking evidence in an inquiry into the library closures. On 13 March, campaigners will lobby parliament to take action - see details here.
Top Ten Most Borrowed Authors in 2011:
1. James Patterson
2. Daisy Meadows
3. Nora Roberts
4. Jacqueline Wilson
5. Francesca Simon
6. Danielle Steel
7. Julia Donaldson
8. M C Beaton
9. Mick Inkpen
10. Clive Cussler

Things are getting confusing in regards to the popular Marvel brother/sister hero characters of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch.
A while back it was revealed Joss Whedon planned to use the two characters in "The Avengers 2," despite the rights belonging to 20th Century Fox.
Marvel's Kevin Feige said "There's a specific arrangement with those two characters that would allow us to use them with 'Avengers,' but not discuss or reference their mutant or Magneto-related lineage. They [Fox] can use them as mutants and as Magneto's relatives, but cannot have anything to do with 'The Avengers.'"
Well, "X-Men: Days of Future Past" director Bryan Singer has plans to do just that with the help of "American Horror Story" actor Evan Peters. Singer tweeted this week: "Before he was an Avenger, he was just a REALLY fast kid. Thrilled to say Evan Peters is joining 'X-Men: Days Of Future Past' as Quicksilver.
According to HitFix, Singer designed a sequence that he feels only works with the Quicksilver character while Whedon says there's a big reason for Quicksilver to appear in "The Avengers 2". So it would seem we'll get two very different versions of the one character.

Paramount Pictures has debuted the first teaser for the Coen Brothers' True Grit. The tandem, who never seems to make the same movie twice, have made a new adaptation the Charles Portis novel. Originally, John Wayne (in his Oscar-winning role) played U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn. For the new film, "The Dude" (Jeff Bridges) dons the eye patch and rifle. Joining him are Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, Barry Pepper and newcomer Hailee Steinfeld. The teaser isn't long, but what footage is shown looks fantastic. Pay particular attention to the photography, especially how the snow-covered cabin/shack is shot as well as Steinfeld walking down a stretch of road in town at dusk. Simply beautiful.
The Coen Brothers' True Grit, which is a more faithful take on the Portis novel, involves 14-year-old Mattie Ross (Steinfeld) determined to bring her father's killer, Tom Chaney (Brolin), to justice. She enlists the help of a trigger-happy, drunken U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn (Bridges) to hunt down Chaney. They must find him before a Texas Ranger named LeBoeuf (Damon) can catch Chaney and bring him back to Texas for the murder of another man.
True Grit opens nationwide on Christmas Day.

There are those times that faith in humanity is restored, and sometimes it's in the biggest and best way possible. The Inquisitr reported on Sunday, July 27, 2014, that Tom Crawford is a cancer sufferer who the bank tried to evict as they tried to seize the home he said he paid off. Upon calling for some help, over 200 strangers showed up to protest the bank from doing their business.
63-year-old Tom Crawford has said that he's already paid off his mortgage and the home is his, but the bank appears to disagree. Upon saying they were coming to take his home, he jumped on YouTube and asked for some help.
That was when the street got a little crowded.
His 11-minute YouTube video asks for help from anyone that can give it and even offered a "lovely cup of tea" for all those that showed up. Crawford may not have had enough tea.
"I can't believe that people have come from all over the country to support me," a stunned Tom Crawford said on Wednesday. "It's really overwhelming and I really didn't expect it. This is something I feel very passionate about — I've been here more than 25 years and have brought three children up here. I've worked hard all my life. This is just devastating."
The Metro reports that the prostate cancer sufferer said he paid off his mortgage quite some time ago. Unfortunately, the now-defunct Bradford and Bingley claims that Crawford still owes them £43,000 in repayments.
A judge had ordered Crawford to pay that amount to the company by 9:00 a.m. earlier this week or risk his home being seized. Protesters were not going to let this man lose his home and they ended up sharing his video over 7,000 and showing up for a 90-minute face-to-face with the bailiffs.
The bailiffs ended up leaving.
Crawford headed down to the bank to sort things out and he said he met with the manager of the bank.
"He told me there was a mistake and apologized," said Crawford. "He even sent my wife flowers and champagne, they would prove to be the most expensive flowers and champagne I ever received. I was told there was nothing to pay off."
Tom Crawford said that the support from friends and strangers was simply "amazing," and he is extremely touched by those that turned out to help him. Now, his family is secure and all is well.

College Hockey:Streaking Warriors Overpower Purple Eagles
Wild Struggle Produces Record Scoring
LEWISTON, N.Y. — How bad was the Niagara defense Friday night in a 9-6 loss to Wayne State?
A public defender would provide better defense than the Purple Eagles gave freshman netminders Scott Lindsay and Rob Bonk. The Eagles were outworked by the second-year Warriors in a College Hockey America contest played before 901 fans.
Wayne State outscored Niagara 8-3 over the final 40 minutes in ending a two-game losing streak and snapping NU's three-game winning streak. Both teams combined for nine goals (a Niagara record) in the third period. The Warriors had an 8-4 lead with five minutes left in the game.
Things were so bad that sophomore practice goalie Mike Shannon appeared in his first career game. He played all but 57 seconds in the final five minutes, taking the bench for an extra skater after Shaun Burkart and Bernie Sigrist scored in a span of 1:03 to pull the Eagles within 8-6 with 3:27 left.
But Wayne State captain Jason Durbin scored an empty-netter with 27 seconds left to complete his hat trick. Niagara, the defending CHA champion, lost at home for the first time to a conference opponent.
"We had a little bit of a hard time executing our defensive schemes," Eagles coach Blaise MacDonald said. "We just are not coachable when it comes to learning how to play defense. We're incredibly overmatched if we don't stick to details and if we don't prepare properly. It was kind of heartwrenching to watch what happened tonight."
Durbin and Chris Vail each scored two goals in the third period, while Maxim Starchenko and Dustin Kingston added singles.
Kingston finished with two goals and two assists, while Steve Nichols also scored for the Warriors (3-5-1, 11-10-1). Wayne State has won eight of its last 11 games.
"Fortunately for us, our hard work paid off tonight," Durbin said. "For us to come into their building and for both teams to score a total of 15 goals, it makes for an exciting game. Fortunately for us, we came out on the winning end."
Burkart scored two goals for the Purple Eagles (6-2-1, 9-10-3), while Sigrist, Jordan Meloff and Randy Harris each recorded a goal and an assist. Chris Sebastian also scored.
It was truly a record-setting performance for the Eagles, who established a new mark for most goals allowed in a period (6) and tied a record for goals allowed in a game. Both teams set Niagara records for most goals in a period (9) and a game (15).
Vail scored at 1:10 of the third period to break a 3-3 tie. Jon Brink passed from behind the net to Vail, who was standing alone in front of Lindsay. Bonk replaced Lindsay 23 seconds later in an attempt to spark the Eagles, and the strategy worked briefly as Harris tied it at 4:04.
The Warriors scored the next four goals, however, as Durbin gave his team the lead for keeps at 8:54, finishing off a 3-on-1 break that turned into a 2-on-0 after a Niagara defenseman committed too soon on the play.
Vail scored at 11:47, while Starchenko buried the eventual game-winner at 14:23. Kingston scored 27 seconds later to chase Bonk.
"We just have a lot of defensemen that have a low panic threshold. They get running around and they have no idea how to play defense when the pressure is on. Something has got to change," MacDonald said. "When you get knocked down there are two things you can do — you can lay down or you can get up.
"It's painfully obvious we lack the competitiveness, the true grit of a successful athlete when it comes to our team. We show it in spurts, but we're just too immature to show it on a consistent basis. This team needs to find a way to get it done, because we just can't find any other ways to coach them."
NU carried a 3-1 lead into the first intermission on goals by Sebastian, Meloff and Burkart.
The second period was a different story. Lindsay turned aside 11 shots, but couldn't do everything by himself as the Warriors scored twice in the final 4:42 to forge a 3-3 knot. Nichols scored on a breakaway shorthanded, while Durbin scored from the right circle after picking off a clearing pass that took a strange bounce off the glass at 18:27.
The guests outshot Niagara 14-4 in the period and 32-21 for the game.
"I thought at the end of the first period we played a good period," Wayne State coach Bill Wilkinson said. "Things can change rapidly in this game. You've just got to stay with it and continue to work hard. Fortunately for us, Steve Nichols got that big goal. I thought it kind of changed the complexion of the game."

Our sleeping arrangements are dh in one room and dd and I in another. Dh snores, sleeps rowdily, and gets up for work super early in the morning.
I always said I'd start my night with him either when she went down to one night waking, or when she turned two. He misses me, and he does sleep with us on the weekends, and he wants me back in bed with him. But I'm not ready yet.
Was there a point in your mothering when you felt ready to leave your child? Will there ever come a day when I won't worry about having her sleep away from me, or is this just one of those things that are harder for me than for her, and something I just need to get over?
This girl is growing up so fast already....I'd keep her close forever if she'd let me.

flourless chocolate love cake with raspberries & cream recipe
On a more positive note spring has well and truly arrived the past few days, delivering lovely warm nights and sunny days. The kids are all better now and life seems to be getting back to normal, thank god.
So, cake. This one is a lovely flourless chocolate cake, super rich and so easy to make. That being said it does use expensive ingredients, so I usually save it for special occasions.........like 30th birthdays :-)
It's lovely to eat straight away while still warm, a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top would be lovely (soy ice cream if you don't do dairy). Or leave it to eat the next day when it turns all dense, rich and fudgey, not unlike my chocolate chilli slice come to think of it. I piled softly whipped cream and frozen raspberries (fresh would be better, or at least defrosted berries-I didn't have time with sick kids hanging off me) on top but feel free to eat as is, or ice with a ganache icing or simply dust with cocoa powder.
flourless chocolate love cake with raspberries and cream recipe
This cake is gluten-free and to make dairy-free all you need to do is use dairy-free margarine in place of the butter, use a good quality dark dairy-free chocolate ( I use trade aid dark chocolate) and omit the huge pile of whipped cream I served on the top! Instead, simply dust with cocoa powder and serve. Serves about 16 as this is super rich cake, a little goes a long way.
- 1/2 cup (55g) cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (125ml) hot water
- 1 1/2 cups (300g) muscovado sugar
- 220g butter, roughly chopped
- 200g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
- 1 1/2 cups (165g) almond meal (ground almond)
- 6 eggs, lightly beaten
- softly whipped cream and fresh/frozen raspberries to serve
Put cocoa into a medium saucepan and slowly whisk in the hot water to form a smooth paste. Add sugar, butter and chocolate. Stir over low heat until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside for about 15 minutes to cool. Stir in the almond meal and eggs. Pour into tin and bake for about 50-60 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Cool cake in the tin, or cover and refrigerate until needed, or overnight. To serve, pile softly whipped cream on top layering with raspberries as you go. Cut into thin slices to serve. Would keep for up to 1 week in the fridge but ours barely made it to the second day :-)

The electricity went out today. After an eerie hour the rain started to fall, heavy & without mercy. It reminded me of monsoon season in the Philippines. The primitive electricity grid there was not strong enough to hold up to even the smallest hint of a wind storm; so black outs happened quite often.
I like black outs. I always have. Everyone comes out from their respective holes, almost certainly awakened from their uninterrupted stream of electricity fuelled entertainment, and joins together to conquer whatever has caused them to unplug from their dream state.
When I stayed with my grandparents during blackout season in the Philippines, we would come together at the plastic dining room table, light candles and listen to podcasts that I had downloaded during times of internet plenty. Grandma would always comment–perhaps comment is too small–recant stories that the new-fangled radio had reminded her to recant. I'd pause the radio–because you can do that now in 2013–and we'd wander down her tangent until we'd exhaust the topic, and I'd turn on the podcast again.
We'd never quite spend as much quality time together as we did when the power was out.
I had a boyfriend once, that always wished for something catastrophic to happen, like a hurricane or War of the Worlds style alien attack. He said he liked circumstances that forced everyone to work together to overcome a common problem. He argued that there is a heightened level of camaraderie during these time that we could all benefit from. He'd seek out situations of conflict in our regular life hoping to dive in a rally people tackle the problem at hand. Undoubtedly, he'd get strangely excited during lightning storms & tornado warnings.
At the time, I was disgusted by his desire to see pain inflicted on people on others in hopes that we would bond together. I thought he had some sort of hero complex. Now, I appreciate this insight into our collective tendencies. I see common tragedies all around us that are prime opportunities for us to bond together and overcome.
Today, I challenge us to notice the symbolic power outages around the world and look for the rallying points where people are coming together to overcome. Chances are, if you look hard enough you can find a group of people playing Yahtzee by candlelight.

College Hockey:Minnesota's Potulny Out Until March
Gopher Captain Sidelined By Injury For Second Straight Year
MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota captain Grant Potulny is expected to be out until early March after injuring his shoulder during the second period of Saturday's game against North Dakota.
This is the second straight season Potulny will miss significant playing time due to injury. The senior from Grand Forks, N.D., fractured his ankle in the 2002-03 season opener and missed the next 22 games.
"We're very disappointed to lose Grant at this critical point of the season," coach Don Lucia said. "We know, however, that no one will work harder at rehab than the team captain.
"We expect him to have an impact in the lineup when he returns, just like he did a year ago. We'll miss his leadership and his play on the ice, but the good news is he'll be back."
The winger is third on the team in goals with 11, including seven power-play goals, and has 19 points overall in 26 games this season. Potulny, the Most Outstanding Player of the 2002 Frozen Four, has career totals are 63-46–109 in three-plus years at Minnesota.
Potulny could miss the rest of the regular season for the Gophers, who finish their WCHA schedule against St. Cloud State March 5-6.
He joins his brother Ryan, a Gopher freshman, on the injury list. The younger Potulny injured his knee in early November — coincidentally, also against the Sioux — and is expected to miss the rest of the season.

It looks like the Afghanistan storyline is going to end the only way it can, with the rest of her team rescuing Kensi (Daniela Ruah) in the upcoming "NCIS: Los Angeles" episode, 519, "Spoils of War," for which CBS released promotional photos on Friday, March 21.
In this upcoming "NCIS: LA" episode, after learning that Kensi has disappeared and the Taliban may be holding her captive, Hetty (Linda Hunt) sends the L.A. team to Afghanistan on a rescue mission. Let's be honest here: Did anyone think this was going to end any other way?
In the latest episode, after recognizing the man everyone has been referring to as the White Ghost, Kensi left base on her own to go out and find him – and was captured and taken to a cave, where she asked to see him. She didn't get an answer in "Between the Lines," but "Zero Days" is going to see her with a familiar face from her past, with Matthew Del Negro playing Jack. He'll be in "Spoils of War" as well, as will Erik Palladino as Sabatino, whom we haven't seen since he walked away from Kens after she accused him of being the White Ghost.
Now, the "Spoils of War" photos in the slideshow don't offer us any answers besides giving us a look at the team in Afghanistan, specifically of Sam (LL Cool J) with both Callen (Chris O'Donnell) and Granger (Miguel Ferrer). Do Sam and Callen have Kensi in sight from where they're set up with binoculars?
"NCIS: Los Angeles" season 5 airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on CBS. What do you think of these episode 19 "Spoils of War" photos?

The Russian Olympic hockey team had high hopes before facing Finland in the quarterfinals on Feb. 19. Reaching the Olympic medal round was the least the Russians could do in front of their home fans, who were dreaming of gold ever since Sochi was awarded the 2014 Winter Games. However, those dreams died hard and decisively, as the Fins shattered a country right in front of its eyes with a 3-1 triumph.
Finland dominated right after Russia's Ilya Kovalchuk tallied the first goal of the day. Just 87 seconds later, Juhamatti Aaltonen evened things up and set the true tone of the game. Once Finland went ahead late in the first on a strike from its most iconic player, Teemu Selanne, the Russians played catch up the rest of the way.
Russia had its chances, yet Finland/Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask stopped almost all of them with 37 saves. Despite having a roster led by Alex Oveckin and Evgeni Malkin, the Russians' offense never got clicking -- like it didn't for much of the Olympics. As such, it will now have to sit out the rest of the games, while Finland, Sweden and arch-rivals Canada and the U.S. battle for the gold on Russian soil.
If anything, Finland's upset should send an extra message to the Americans, before they try to survive getting upset themselves by the Czech Republic this afternoon. As it turned out, the U.S.'s shootout win over the Russians on Feb. 15 meant nothing at all, although it did keep America from facing Finland in the quarters itself.
The U.S. could still face Finland in the gold medal game anyway, which is still a long way off. Finland is a step closer at the moment, however, as it already has a semifinal date set up with Sweden on Feb. 21. If there are any Russian fans left in the stands by then, they may root for Sweden by default.
Russia and Canada had the most pressure to win gold at the Olympics, yet even Canada didn't have as much on the line as the Russians did. Is this just an isolated case of the host nation crumbling, or will more projected hockey favorites fall early as the week goes on?
The Americans and Canada will try to stop the upset trend in its tracks, as they face the Czechs and Latvia respectively at noon est.

Model, Wind Tunnel, Saturn V
This is a metal model of the Saturn V rocket built and used for wind tunnel testing by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). This testing was conducted in the development stage of the Saturn V to observe and measure the rocket's integrity in the launch environment.
The three-stage, liquid-fuel Saturn V was the world's largest operational launch vehicle and launched all ten manned Apollo missions from 1968-1972, including the historic Apollo 11 mission in July 1969 that first landed men on the moon. The Saturn V was last used to launch the Skylab Orbital Workshop into earth orbit in May 1973. This model was transferred from MSFC to the museum in 1975.

Considered the most dangerous race in the world, the legendary Carrera Panamericana is quite unique in this day and age. Having started in 1950, this treacherous event is the last true road race that takes place in Mexico.
Sneak peek
Viva la Carrera!, written by Werner Jessner with photographs from Marcelo Maragni will be available in Red Bulletin's March issue, documenting and illustrating the volatility this race presents. As this exclusive from Red Bull suggests, the inimitability of the Carrera Panamericana offers speed, danger and an unusual look of nostalgia cars that resemble racing from a bygone era - but in a newer form.
Organized by the Mexican government, the more than 2,000 mile race was a publicity effort to promote the new Pan American Highway after the section in Mexico was completed. From the unsafe and bloody beginnings of this historic event, the Carrera Panamericana early history was short lived when the race was cancelled following 1954, after too many deaths (though no official record is known). The event did not resume until 1988.
Under the auspices of reducing bloodshed due to the many inherent and obvious dangers the event exposed, one memorable situation was in 1953 when purportedly the Mexican National Army was told to shoot any man or beast who crossed the road during the race. An odd way to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, regardless of the reasoning.
Whether it was people or animals crossing the road or the ravines and rocks that tore wheels and axles off, the Carrera Panamericana was and is an ultimate seven day test of vehicle and driver. The cars appear to be the same vehicles that raced back in the '50s; but underneath the bodies are modern high horse-powered machines, capable of going nearly 200 mph.
Seen through the drivers eyes
The story will also be told through the eyes of skilled drivers such as Mexico's own Memo Rojas who as one of the contestants, is nearly at wits end trying to navigate the perilous stages. Rojas, whose father won the reincarnation of the event back in '88, tries to illuminate the anxious risks saying,
"That's the first time I've ever been afraid in a car. Barreling along at 180 in this piece of junk, I was scared."
Considering the winning average speed 60 years ago was nearly 140 mph, it isn't inconceivable that hazards, safety and ultimately the driver's welfare were in such obvious danger ... even if it was the new Pan American Highway. As for the route itself is concerned, last year started in Veracruz on the southern Gulf of Mexico and ended up in the mountainous area of Zacatecas in north central Mexico.
Take a look at the exclusive photos here and once again, we have to thank Red Bulletin for the early access (see excerpts) to an incredible story – Viva la Carrera! – a race that has to be considered one the great events in motorsports.
