MasterChef Pakistan is an upcoming Pakistani competitive cooking game show based on the original British MasterChef. It is produced by Shine 360 and will screen on Urdu 1.
Urdu1 is known for some outstanding foreign drama serials, typically Turkish and Indian in origin. This channel paved its way in the heart of all of its viewers as soon as ISHQ E MAMNOO started.This serial was no doubt a block buster and raised TRP of this channel. With this serial,Urdu1 is also remarkable for showing ISS PYAAR KO KYA NAAM DOUN (Indian Serial),when Starplus and Sony got banned in Pakistan.
After that, a wide range of Turkish, Indian and Pakistani serials started at this channel.And now Urdu1 is coming with another huge project. Yes, Urdu1 is once again ready to raise its TRP by starting up a cooking reality show MASTER CHEF PAKISTAN.
Those who are a big fan of such cooking reality shows know that various seasons of MasterChef have been shown on some international channels.It was actually started in U.K in July 1990.After one season,it was just like instinct volcano but in 2005,this show came back with the bang.Till now, various countries have came under Masterchef umbrella including Australia, Bangladesh, China, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, India and America etc.
People living in Pakistan only came across Master Chef Australia,India and America.I,myself,am a great fan of Masterchef. Junior Master chef India's first season is on air now a days and I cannot afford to miss a single episode of it.After watching MasterChef Pakistan Logo on Urdu1 ,I got really excited and my anticipation went to its peak.
All MasterChef and cooking lovers, tie up your harnesses for the most thrilling and most entertaining journey of taste,inventions and innovations this year.Daikhna Ye hai whether we Pakistani will be able to meet up all the requirements that makes Master Chef the best cooking reality show or not.!
"Bringing a show like MasterChef to Pakistan requires a very heavy investment but we felt that the market is ripe for such a show"
Urdu1 is all set to bring MasterChef to Pakistan in 2014. Aurora caught up with Faraz Ansari, Founder and CEO, Urdu1 to find out more about the Pakistani version of the UK-based show.
1. Why have you decided to bring MasterChef to Pakistan?
MasterChef is the number one food show and among the top three reality shows in the world. Four or five years ago many media owners in Pakistan made a sweeping statement that reality shows don't work here and up until now all of the reality shows (with the exception of ARY'sMillionaire) have been copied off other shows; without international guidelines these shows were not able to meet the quality parameters of the international shows.
One of the reasons for bringing MasterChef to Pakistan is because food is one of the main sources of entertainment (besides television) here. It is also one of the biggest industries in Pakistan that has developed considerably over the years; now you also see a lot of food brands sponsoring food shows, which is another area that has developed in recent years.
Bringing a show like MasterChef to Pakistan requires a very heavy investment but we felt that the market is ripe for such a show.
2. Who is the franchiser of the show and what is the nature of your agreement with them?
Shine Productions is the format owner and we are working with them to ensure that we meet the quality standards of the international show. We aim to do whatever it takes to create a show that, if not better, is at par with the international shows. This was also a commitment that Urdu1 made to the Pakistani audience when we launched the channel, which was to invest in Pakistan and improve production qualities and we aim to do this with this show as well.
3. Will MasterChef Pakistan follow the format of the international show and will it have any local elements?
MasterChef has many formats such as The Professionals, Celebrity Master Chef andJunior Master Chef but initially it will be launched in Pakistan just as Master Chef for amateur cooks. We will later look into creating other versions of the show as well.
We cannot talk about the specifics of the show at this point, however, like you may have seen with the international shows, every new season and show has some new elements and the same will be the case in Pakistan. The primary local element in the show will be the food that is prepared which will be local Pakistani dishes, however with an uber cool touch to it.
4. Who are the judges for the show? Will there be any guest appearances from local or international judges on the show?
We cannot name the judges at this point, but we will have local judges. All I can say is that there will be some international faces making an appearance as well.
5. Where are you recruiting participants from and what is the process?
We aim to go to five or six cities which will include the three metros Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad/Rawalpindi. We are still in the process of determining which other cities will be included. We will be announcing our recruitment process very shortly.
6. When will the show be aired?
The show will be aired in 2014; specific dates and timing will be announced later.
7. What will the winner get?
Just like the international show, the winner will be awarded the Master Chef title and get to launch their own cookbook; there may also be a monetary element to the prize.
8. Does the show have any sponsors yet?
We are in talks with a lot of sponsors but have not finalised one yet; we feel it may come down to holding a bidding process to determine the final sponsor. We will pick the title sponsor as the one we see as the best fit for the show.

text: 25 January 2012 archive See all show photos AWARDS season is upon us, which makes it fitting that the couture shows are taking place – and that king of the red carpet Elie Saab is out to impress. Today he went lighter than we have seen of him before. Yes, his gowns usually tick the shimmery/sparkle/glamour box in bucket loads, but today they were much girlier, flirtier and fresh – in white and lace and froufrou flowing skirts.

Desproxy development discontinued (08/08/2004)Today is a sad day for me. I'm discontinuing desproxy development today, in a move to help me stay away from distractions and to make me finish my long delayed studies.
As anyone monitoring desproxy could check, desproxy development has always been going at a very slow pace. I feel ashamed now, but I have to recognize it was just a kind of distraction for me.
Desproxy was born in just over a day, when I feel it was needed. It is now quite stable, supporting authentication (not NTLM), it is fast and portable, and quite easy to comprehend for anyone interested in basic network programming.
I will eventually give the control over desproxy to anyone interested, so if you feel capable of dealing with it, just ask (will check my email at least once a week).
Thanks for a lot of great time, supporters. Sincerely yours, Miguelanxo.

5-Year Banded Term Life Insurance
Underwritten by New York Life Insurance Company
High-Level Coverage Appropriate For Your Income
You put in many long, hard years to join the ranks of the legal profession. ABE-Sponsored 5-Year Banded Term Life Insurance Plan is designed to provide protection that will help safeguard both you and your family. It's solid insurance protection and an excellent supplement to your existing life insurance.
To meet individual members' needs, we also have available the ABE-Sponsored 10-Year Level Term Life Insurance Plan and the ABE-Sponsored 20-Year Level Term Life Insurance Plan. This website contains information about all of our Term Life Insurance plans.
You Can Request Coverage For Yourself And Your Spouse/Domestic Partner For Up To $2,000,000
If you are a member of the ABA, under age 76, and reside in the United States, Puerto Rico (see It's Easy to Apply, below), or the U.S. Virgin Islands, you are eligible to apply for coverage for yourself and your spouse/Domestic Partner, up to a full $2,000,000 of coverage. Spouse coverage may not exceed 100% of member's coverage. A Domestic Partner (DP) is defined as an eligible dependent. (The Group Policy provides the same benefits for parties to a Civil Union as are granted to a spouse in marriage, for residents of any state that so mandates such similar benefits.) Spouse/DP premiums are based on your age. The total amount of coverage under all ABE Life Insurance Plans may not exceed $2,000,000.
You Can Insure Your Children
You can also insure all unmarried, dependent children from 14 days through 25 years for up to $25,000, in $5,000 increments; a child may not be insured under more than one plan under all group life insurance policies issued by New York Life Insurance Company to the American Bar Endowment.
Note: If both you and your spouse are members of ABA, both of you may apply for separate member coverage. In that case, neither of you may insure the other as a spouse, and all dependent children must be carried under only one certificate.
Increased Volume Discounts At Higher Benefit Amounts
To make coverage even more affordable when a higher coverage amount is needed, we've included a volume discount for coverage amounts of $100,000 to $290,000, $300,000 to $490,000; another discount is available for coverage amounts of $500,000 or more. So the more term life insurance you need, the more you can save for each $10,000 option. Premium will vary with the amount of the benefits.
Nonsmoker Rates
This feature allows you to take advantage of your nonsmoking status and enjoy lower premiums.
Annual 10% Member Insurance Increase
To help keep pace with your increasing life insurance needs, your original insurance amount will be increased automatically by 10% a year for up to 10 years if your total insurance does not go over $1,000,000, you are under age 75, not totally disabled, and you pay the additional premium contribution. You can stop all future increases at any time, but once you stop them, you cannot start them again. There is no new application or physical exam required for each increase.
Accelerated Death Benefit (Living Benefits) Feature
This feature lets you apply for 50% of your in force death benefit when you may need them most should the insured be diagnosed by a physician as terminally ill with 24 months or less to live, this feature will provide 50% of the in force value of your life insurance. The request must be made at least 12 months prior to the scheduled termination age. If a scheduled reduction will occur within one year of the date the advance payment will be made, the benefit will be 50% of the reduced coverage amount. This benefit can be paid only once, and will reduce your life insurance by such amount. Premiums are not reduced. Please note that the receipt of accelerated death benefits may affect eligibility for public assistance programs and may be taxable. Prior to applying for accelerated death benefits, you should consult with the appropriate social services agency and a qualified tax advisor. The Accelerated Death Benefit is not available to residents of Massachusetts.
Your Life Insurance Comes With Survivor Benefits
If you should die, your spouse/DP and dependent children may continue coverage, provided the children remain eligible, until the spouse/DP remarries or attains age 85, as long as the premium contributions are paid when due (based on your spouse/DP's age) and the group plan remains in force.
Once your insurance coverage has been in force for two years, it cannot be contested except for nonpayment of premium contribution or if the contest is based on eligibility provisions of the policy.
When Your Insurance Will Begin
If your application is approved, your insurance will become effective on the first day of the month following approval by New York Life, provided the initial premium is paid within 31 days of the date you are billed.
If any person proposed for insurance is confined at home or in a hospital or other medical institution or is disabled on the day insurance would otherwise take effect, insurance will not become effective until the day such person is no longer confined or disabled, provided such day is within three months of the date coverage would otherwise have been effective and such person is still eligible. Spouse and child coverage will not take effect unless member coverage is in force.
When Insurance Ends
As long as you maintain your membership in the American Bar Association, make the required premium payments when due, and the group plan is not terminated by the ABE or New York Life, you may continue your ABE Term Life Insurance until the May 31st on or next following your 85th birthday. Coverage for your dependents ceases upon the termination of your coverage, or when your spouse/DP is no longer your lawful married spouse/DP or your child marries, is no longer substantially dependent upon you or reaches age 25.
You cannot be singled out for cancellation. Details, including other circumstances governing conversion, are provided in your Certificate of Insurance.
Exclusions And Limitations
Benefits will be paid for any cause of death except suicide, which is not covered during the first two years.
You May Name Any Beneficiary
You may name one or more beneficiaries on your coverage(s). Your beneficiary is the person last designated by you in writing and recorded as such by, or on behalf of, New York Life. You may assign ownership of your coverage to anyone you wish. Forms are available from the ABE. You are the beneficiary and owner for the Spouse Coverage. If you wish to designate a different beneficiary on the Spouse Coverage, contact the ABE.
30 Day Free Look
Just say "YES" to the ABE-sponsored Term Life Plan. Then try it out for 30 days without claim. You risk nothing. Because if you encounter anything you're not pleased with, just return the certificate to us, without claim, within 30 days. We'll invalidate your coverage. No questions asked.

ABE-Sponsored Term Life Insurance Plan is a group insurance plan, meaning coverage is issued to an ABE member under a Certificate of Insurance; it is not provided under an individual policy, nor is it employer/employee insurance.
In this notice, references to "you" and "your" include any person proposed for insurance. Information regarding insurability will be treated as confidential.

This information may be used during the underwriting and claims processes, where permitted by law.
New York Life may release this information to the ABE, other insurance companies to which you may apply for insurance, or to which a claim for benefits may be submitted and to others whom you authorize in writing.

We may also make a brief report of your protected health information to MIB, but we will not disclose our underwriting decision.
New York Life will not disclose such information to anyone except those you authorize or where required or permitted by law. Information in our files may be seen by New York Life and ABE employees, but only on a "need to know" basis in considering your request. Upon receipt of all requested information, we will make a determination as to whether your request for insurance can be approved.
If we cannot provide the coverage you requested, we will tell you why. If you feel our information is inaccurate, you will be given a chance to correct or complete the information in our files. Upon written request to New York Life or MIB, you will be provided with non-medical information. Generally, medical information will be given either directly to the proposed insured or to a medical professional designated by the proposed insured.

How Your Assignment of Dividends to ABE Works — Your Plan's Unique Charitable Giving Feature
Founded by the ABA in 1942, the American Bar Endowment (ABE) is a §501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization composed of members of the American Bar Association. ABE fulfills its charitable purpose of improving the administration of justice, one of our profession's highest obligations, by making annual grants to support legal research, public service and educational projects in the field of law, including those conducted by ABA's Fund for Justice and Education (FJE) and the American Bar Foundation (ABF). ABE also maintains the Legal Legacy Fund for the support of its grantees. By participating in ABE's group insurance programs, designed for and available only to ABA members, members can contribute to these efforts. ABA members who enroll in ABE-sponsored insurance programs agree that their share of any dividends payable on the group policies may be retained by ABE for its charitable purposes unless reclaimed as outlined below. The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that members who donate their dividends to ABE are eligible for a charitable contribution deduction on their individual income tax returns. Contributions to ABE are tax deductible under Section 170(c) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, in accordance with IRS regulations and the March 1987 ruling provided to ABE by the IRS.
Members who donate dividends to ABE make a difference. These funds, after administrative expenses, are the primary source of ABE's charitable grants and additions to the Legal Legacy Fund. Insured members who donate their dividends help meet their professional and public responsibilities, as well as obtaining valuable coverage for their families. About 85% of members donate their dividends; these members are notified each year by late January of the amount, if any, of their dividend donation for the prior year. (Dividends are not guaranteed, and in any given year, a given plan may not pay a dividend; dividends will vary from year to year.)
Members who wish to request a refund of their dividends may do so. The approximate percentage of premium available for refund (if any) on each plan will be published in each November issue of the ABA Journal. You do not need to wait for this information as refund requests are accepted beginning January 1. To request that dividends be paid to you rather than donated to ABE: After the first policy year of your participation, a written request for refund (by mail, fax, or email to firstname.lastname@example.com) must be made each year and must reach ABE by December 15. When ABE receives your refund request, it will send a confirmation. Retain this for your records as proof your request was timely received. If you do not receive a confirmation within 3 weeks, contact the ABE promptly to obtain another copy. (Special instructions for new applicants are contained in the application and apply to dividends, if any, during the first policy year only.)
Dividend checks and/or contribution notices for your tax return are mailed by late January. If you receive a contribution notice and you did not intend to make a contribution, you may request a one-time waiver of the December 15 deadline by asking for a refund, if you have not previously requested such a waiver.
Please note: Members who do not want to contribute dividends to ABE must make a written request for refund each year, using the procedures above. When members sign the application, they are agreeing to make an annual decision whether to contribute. Do not sign the application if you do not agree with these procedures.
THIS IS A SUMMARY of the principal provisions of the group insurance program offered through the American Bar Endowment for its members. IT IS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED A CONTRACT OF INSURANCE. The complete terms of the group program are set forth in the Group Policy G-2766-3 issued by New York Life Insurance Company to the American Bar Endowment.

Love the way you used the Darling Daisy for the puffed center of your daisy...and the way you paired up the Kiwi doily and Anastasia border!
Layering lighter weight papers is a great way to cut multiple flowers in one pass. I used layers of white copy paper to make a whole whack of daisies. Easy peasy!

Alice, you can use any colored printer paper available at most office supply stores. Some of the metallic text weight I used was purchased at CutCardStock.com. Curious and Stardreams are the name brands.

Staples (NASDAQ:SPLS) is on a quest to reinvent its business, and part of its strategy revolves around closing several dozen of its retail locations. In its latest earnings report, Staples CEO Ron Sargent mentioned that the company generates almost half of its sales online, a sign of the importance of e-commerce to long-term sales growth. The company is also working on reducing costs and improving efficiency.
Staples reported fiscal 2013 fourth quarter EPS of $0.33, which missed market estimates by $0.06. While the company met earnings estimates during the third quarter, lower earnings than expected were noted in the first, second, and fourth quarters of fiscal 2013, marking somewhat of a trend. Despite total sales dropping almost 11%, the more conservative GAAP diluted EPS figure grew 136% from $0.14 in the fourth quarter of 2012 to $0.33 in 2013's fourth quarter. Other GAAP figures show improvements from 2012 to 2013, a sign that the business is improving.
While total sales for Staples decreased, Staples.com recorded 10% higher sales during the fourth quarter. The company also significantly increased its product selection during the quarter and changed its selling model to move the business beyond its bread-and-butter office supply product lines. Staples was able to reduce costs during 2013 and achieve profitability for the year in Europe.
Part of the reason for the negative sales growth was the closure of 63 stores during the 12 months prior to the fourth quarter of 2013. The company also reported that more store closures are coming: 225 North American stores will close their doors by 2015. A cost reduction program expected to yield $500 million in savings has been set in place. Lower comp store sales, which exclude sales in Staples.com, reflected lower traffic and smaller average orders compared to the prior period. Diluted EPS for the first quarter of 2014 is estimated to range between $0.17 and $0.22 .
Rival Office Depot completes merger with OfficeMax
The earning report sent Staples' shares sliding 15% to $11.35. Rival office supply chain Office Depot (NASDAQ:ODP) was also affected; its share dropped 5.7% to $4.63. In its full-year 2013 earnings report, the company discussed the completion of the merger with OfficeMax; the reorganization was completed in February. The combined company is expected to bring in cost synergies of more than $600 million by year-end 2016. Similar to Staples, Office Depot is focusing on streamlining its operations and improving profitability and return on invested capital.
As Office Depot and Office Max integrate their companies, there's were some store closures but not at the level of its rival Staples. During the fourth quarter, 16 Office Depot locations and seven OfficeMax stores were closed. The company ended 2013 with 1,912 stores in North America; 1,089 Office Depot stores and 823 Office Max stores .
E-commerce key to long-term growth
In late December, Office Depot was looking for a new executive to head e-commerce. According to Internet Retailer, Office Depot's 2012 web sales were $7.26 billion and trailed Staples, which reported $10.3 billion in online sales. As Office Depot builds up its online presence, Staples is way ahead of its rival. Mention has been made on providing customers with "multichannel options," but its unclear what Office Depot's online strategy will be. The recent merger and the resulting economies of scale could help the company carve out an online strategy.
Meanwhile, Staples' success in e-commerce also means providing customer service that is up to par with the likes of Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) and its many customer friendly services such as Amazon Prime memberships and Sunday package deliveries . Staples played a price matching game with Amazon during the holidays, so it's serious about competing with the online giant.
Staples' combination of e-commerce site and physical stores may be attractive to customers who may prefer picking up orders at their local store. While Amazon sells everything under the sun, Staples focus on the needs of business customers can work to its advantage. As far as investors are concerned, Staples has a more reasonable valuation than and similar 5-year PEG ratio as Amazon:
Market cap.
7.59 billion
170.17 billion
EPS (ttm)
P/E (ttm)
PEG (5-year expected)
My Foolish conclusion
Staples seems to be making a smart move by redirecting its focus to its thriving e-commerce business. Close rival Office Depot must play catch up or risk losing business to retailers with a more established online presence. While Staples' shares are down about 25% since the start of the year, its decision to close several of its stores should improve the company's cost structure and efficiency. Its switch to smaller stores and expansion of its online product offerings for business customers may prove to be a winning combination for the retailer.

How to Enter the Interest on Balance Sheets
A balance sheet provides a complete listing of a company's assets and liabilities. The owner's equity part of the balance sheet records the amount of value that the business owners or shareholders have in the company. If a firm has to pay interest associated with a business debt account, this figure is also registered on the balance sheet.
Step 1
Add "Interest Payable," which is the amount of interest the company owes (not yet paid), under "Current Liabilities" on the balance sheet. Reduce owner's equity to keep the sheet in balance. Like accounts payable, the interest cost that the firm is required to pay is considered a liability.
Step 2
Account for interest already paid by reducing your cash account shown under "Current Assets" on the balance sheet, as well as the owner's equity figure on the balance sheet. For example, if the current cash account is $5,000 and owner's equity is $20,000, then the company paid out $1,000 in interest the new cash asset value is $4,000, with $19,000 in owner's equity.
Step 3
Enter prepaid interest, if applicable, as an asset to the business under "Current Assets." Prepaid interest is an amount a business pays in advance of the debt repayment date. Like prepaid insurance, it serves as a credit to the business until the actual debt bill comes due. Because the business paid cash for prepaid interest, reduce the cash account under "Current Assets" as well to keep the sheet in balance.

One of the most anticipated movies of 2011, The Help, finally arrives August 10, with a true story of friendship behind it: Author Kathryn Stockett not only relied on her childhood chum, Tate Taylor, to write and direct the film, but based one of her book's most memorable characters, Minny Jackson, on their mutual friend, actress Octavia Spencer. When it came time to cast the part, what better choice to play her? Spencer spoke to More about this story of African-American maids enduring the indignities of the segregated '60s in Jackson, Mississippi.
More: First, Octavia, congratulations! The movie is so well done and your performance is so strong. You must be very happy.
Octavia Spencer: I'm very happy—with everybody else. But it's hard to watch yourself. Other people watch the performance, but I'm watching facial expressions, thinking, Why did I do that?
More: Well, I read the book, and to me, you really captured Minny, who is such a pivotal character. And there's an interesting story to how you got the part.
O.S.: Yes, it's unusual. The director, Tate Taylor, is one of my closest friends,and also Brunson Green, one of the producers—I've known them both for 15 years and done four or five projects with them. Tate always told us about growing up with Kitty [Kathryn Stockett], so he decided to have us all meet in New Orleans maybe six years ago. Kitty told me back then that she wanted to write a book. Six years later, she said she'd finished it and had very loosely based one of the characters on me. So I had to read it!
When I got the novel, it was as thick as a phone book, and I'm an avid reader, but still…But I thought it was really wonderful and when it was published, she asked me to go on the road with her when she did her readings. I also did the book on tape. So that solidified in Tate's mind that he wanted me to play the role. Of course, then we had to convince the studio.
More: How much of Minny is you? Which parts of the character?
O.S.: Really only two things—her size and her sharp tongue. Kitty needed Minny to be a stark contrast to Abileen, who is so poised.
More: Had you worked with Viola Davis, who plays Abileen, before?
O.S.: I did a TV show called City of Angels a long time ago, and she was also in it, but I never had any scenes with her, so I didn't know her very well. It's amazing—now she's one of my best friends. We talk every other day. And Jessica Chastain [who plays the ostracized white wife, Celia Foote]—we talk via email or text all the time. So I came out of this really well, with some really good friends.
More: I just saw Jessica in Tree of Life, and she is so beautiful, and yet she looks completely different in The Help. Beautiful in both, but in different ways.
O.S.: Completely different. She can do anything. In Tree of Life, she's so simple and sweet, and in The Help, this sexy look. And then, for me, getting to work with Viola, who's up there with Meryl Streep! Sissy Spacek is another one of my idols.
More: Did you ever see a Sissy Spacek movie called The Long Walk Home, about the Montgomery bus strike? Whoopi Goldberg was in it, too.
O.S.: I worked on Long Walk as an intern!
More: How in the world did you get that? How old were you?
I pestered those people! No way a movie with Whoopi Goldberg and Sissy Spacek was going to be filmed in that town, the town I lived in, and I wouldn't be a part of it. I was 16 and yes, I was aggressive, because I always wanted to work in the film industry. But my mom was very practical, so I held it in, my desire to be a performer.
More: You grew up in Montgomery, so you must have brought a Southern black woman's experience to The Help.
O.S.: I guess I had a unique childhood, because that Alabama and Mississipp, the society you see in Long Walk and The Help, was so not the way I grew up in Alabama in the '70s—or maybe my mother kept us in a bubble. It was never my reality, so I had to do a lot of research to get to know that way of life.
More: Were there any maids in your family, older relatives who lived that way?
O.S.: I'm sure I had maids in the family, but I wanted to have a perspective based on the reality of the times. When we were growing up, my mom had us watch Eyes on the Prize, the documentary about the Civil Rights years. I spent a lot of time with [slain Civil Rights leader] Medgar Evers' widow, Myrlie Evers-Williams. It was a privilege to talk to her. I watched news footage, documentaries. It was a very interesting mindset to observe, and a difficult one to go into and out of, so I stayed in that mindset the whole time I was filming.
More: Minny is such a multileveled character. On one hand, she's a rebel, the wild child of the group. But she's also an abused wife struggling to hold her family together. And she's a social commentator, the character who seems to sum up the social situation most clearly. How did you come to grips with her?
O.S.: I worked with an acting coach. I wanted to make sure that everything that was in the book, which they can't write on screen, would translate. In the book, we have the luxury of knowing Minny's thoughts. You don't have that luxury when you're on screen, so I needed to do a lot of face acting to convey what I was thinking. I also really worked with the actors in the scenes, so we worked off each other.
More: It's great ensemble work.
O.S.: It was a powerful, powerful group of women and a powerful story. There were no egos. None. The movie was every actor's dream.
More: I thought they handled the spousal abuse very well. You know Minny is abused, but they don't dwell on it.
O.S.: I'm glad they don't dwell on it—I'm afraid of being hit! No, there's so much in the book, it's a dense book to bring to the screen, so I think to touch on it a little bit was enough to show that Minny has so much going on in her life. Going to work at Celia's was a great escape to her. Also, the abuse brings her relationships more into focus, Celia with Minny, Minny with Abileen, Minny with her kids…all her relationships work, except the one with her husband.
I did a lot of research on battered women. One thing I noticed about Minny is that she would never allow herself to be seen as a victim. That's why so many women keep silent. They don't want your pity. Celia crosses those lines, calls Minny on it, and that's one of those times you see the bare bones of who Minny is. Abileen knows who she is, but she never calls her on it, because she knows she shouldn't.
More: What's the key to Minny and Abileen's relationship?
O.S.: They are both in need of something. Minny is a little bit younger. Abileen doesn't have living children, doesn't have a family around her. They represent a kinship, a sistership. Both are going through a lot of injustice. They have so many things in common, and they are both very spiritual women. The ironic thing is that Minny and Celia have little in common on the surface, but then you realize Celia was probably an abused child, and that she's a fighter.
More: There's a new play by Lynn Nottage that just had a short Off-Broadway run, By the Way, Meet Vera Stark, about African-American actresses in the '30s and '40s, when they were relegated to playing maids and slaves. So there's a certain irony here, that The Helpis about maids, but they are the central, complicated roles.
O.S.: I heard about Vera Stark, and I wanted to see it, but I only had two days in New York. But I'm glad you make that point. I think that at first blush, people think, oh, it's about maids, they're subordinate, subservient, what is new about this story? This project is from the maids' perspective and they get to speak out in a way we've never seen. So it's a fresh take on an old subject.
More: What is your dream role?
O.S. I just played it. I don't know that I'll ever pass this way again. Getting to work with my dear friends, and these actresses, and then to play a character who has so many levels, with that supporting cast. It was a very family-oriented set. But everyone had her own journey, so we bonded with the actresses we had scenes with.
More: Did you bond with Sissy Spacek, too?
O.S.: She is a dream. I talk to her once every couple weeks. She's so amazing. She was wearing these sandals from J. Crew, and I said, Oh my God, I love those. She said, I'll see if I can find them for you. I gave her my size, and the next week she sent them to me in every color!
More: In The Help, Minny's the best cook in town. Do you cook?
O.S.: Kathryn certainly didn't base the cooking part on me! I can't cook to save my life. I have a friend who's teaching me. But Kathryn and Tate both trained as chefs. Tate didn't understand why I was so panicked, why I needed to know just what I was cooking. And he and I lived together for three years, we were roommates, so he had to know I don't cook.
More: Do you think anyone will ever eat a mud pie again after watching the movie?
O.S.: I hope so. I enjoy eating them. It's just one of the strangest revenge schemes ever. I'm just worried people will go to me, "Are you bringing mud pie?"
More: What's next for you?
O.S.: Right now, I'm working with Viola developing some stuff, and I did a play that was brought to the screen, The Trials and Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife. It will be released next March.
More: And personally? Are you married? Any kids?
O.S.: I'm not married. I don't have any kids. I'm maybe looking to get married, but kids, maybe not. I love being an aunt. I'm a great aunt.

How to Find a Good Factory in China
I've been identifying and evaluating factories in China for US brands and retailers for over 9 years. In that time I can truly say I have seen the best and the worst of what manufacturing in China has to offer. Here are some surefire steps to ensuring that you only work with a factory that can meet your requirements:
1. Get references and check them out – While this may seem simple enough, following this rule will help you eliminate about 90 percent of the potentially bad trading partners that may be listed on Alibaba or Global Sources. Ask the person whom you're emailing with to provide you references of others in the US or Europe that they have done business with directly, who you can contact for a reference. It's understandable if the supplier replies that they can not tell you all of their clients' names or brands they are making, but they should definitely be able to provide at least one or two references. When you check them out, set up a phone call instead of just a casual email. You'll learn very quickly who you're dealing with. If the supplier cannot provide you with one genuine reference…run away and don't look back.
2. Send in a 3rd party to perform China Supplier Verification – These days there are a whole list of professional firms in China who can provide you a detailed report by sending someone first hand to visit your potential supplier. You can usually get this done for less than $150 and let me tell you…it could end up saving you a fortune!
3. Request product documentation – Ask your supplier if they can provide you some documents related to their quality control, or product safety standards, and see what they come back with. You may ask for things such as a "quality control checklist" for the product in question, or for "lab testing documentation" showing that the materials being used in the product are safe and legal for your market of sale. If the supplier avoids this request, or has no clue what you're talking about, don't go any further. A professional factory or trading company will be highly familiar and responsive to such requests.
4. Go with your gut – You don't need to be an expert in buying from China to know when you have a "bad feeling" about something. Feel strange that the supplier is asking you to make money transfers by Western Union? Is the name on their bank account different from the company or contact person's name with no good explanation? Does the supplier seem to avoid your simple and direct questions? All of these are signs of a bad partner. Don't rationalize obvious lapse in professionalism because you feel you're "locked-in" to one supplier. In China, if there's one factory making, there's usually ten other factories right down the road making the same thing.
5. Note the Quality – When you receive a sample or send someone in to check the goods, what is your opinion of the goods quality? Does the item seem "just not right", flimsy, cheap or have some other mal-function? If a supplier is willing to send out a sample that has quality issues then you will definitely not get what you are expecting when you place an order. NEVER accept the excuse that "Oh, the sample is just like this but the mass production will be better". That is the biggest joke in the book.

I don't agree with this point. As I know, many supplier verify companies are not so professional. They even do not know how to use caliper, and how to read CAD drawings. How can they do a good job? So I think the best way is to check at spot in person. Or just believe the factory and encourage them do a better job.

I believe finding the right suppliers and right factory from China is a tough journey if you don't have some contacts or education about it. So the 5 steps above are really valid points to take note to avoid problems when sourcing from China. I have found 2 more resources that I think will be very helpful when you source in China.

Thank you for your article. but I have another question regarding the exporting the products of China. Some of my friends told me that I need to find a trading company and then use a trading company for example in Hong Kong, and then export goods from China. Is it right or suppliers in China can export directly?

As someone who is always having to deal with these issues after they have arisen, I could not agree more. I am amazed at how often my firm is called on to sue some factory in China for not having provided product anywhere close to that which was contracted for, only to discover the factory that made the product is NOT even the same company with whom our client has the contract! Doing the work upfront is the best and cheapest protection there is.

Scarlett Johansson has bee a long time smoker of cigarettes for some time now but it seems that her smoking habit is getting a little out of hand. One of the reasons why Scarlett Johansson is smoking more these days is because she is still trying to get over her divorce from Ryan Reynolds. Although Scarlett has gotten on with her life, she still has the issue with smoking too many cigarettes throughout the day. Many celebrity smokers like Scarlett Johansson should either quit smoking or find a safer alternative to avoid the deadly smoking related diseases in their future.
Best way to get over your divorce? Party! That's exactly what Scarlett Johansson did this weekend in Hollywood. A source tells Hollyscoop EXCLUSIVELY that Scarlett was in attendance at Jeremy Renner's A-list 40th birthday bash at his Hollywood Hills home over the weekend, and didn't look like her stunning self.
Our party source says ScarJo was sporting shorter hair, which she wore under a—gasp—baseball cap. The eyewitness spotted her drinking and smoking her sorrows away all night, and "looking like a mess."
Scarlett Jealous of Ryan and Sandra
"Scarlett was drinking vodka with lime, and was smoking cigarettes," says the source.
"She looked like she was going through a divorce," says the party-goer.
Probably didn't hurt that the word on the street is that Ryan Reynolds has been taking secret trips with Sandra Bullock's home in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He reportedly took two of those trips there over the holidays.

After paying for this apartment in full, I was told only 1 week before travel that it had become 'unavailable', without any further explanation. Not a long time to reorganise accommodation in Rome. I was travelling with my work colleagues to a conference so we had specific room and location requirements. Needless to say there was not much available in our price range at such sort notice. Very disappointing!!!
Cosy and nice appartment near the town. Clean and well worked appartment. When we arrived we didn't know if we were on the right address but a very nice lady came out and met us and showed us in. The lady was supernice and she was very friendly.
Thank you for this time, we hope to see you again!
We had a very nice stay in Supetar! The apartment was only 100m from the promenade, the apartment was clean and we had a beautiful view from the balcony overlooking the town and sea.
Ivo and his mother where very kind, she even surprised us with a homemade apfelstrudel!
We can recommend this apartment to anyone thinking of staying in Supetar!
Clean and a good restaurant!
The position of the apartment is very good. The apartment could use a brush up. I am very angry that they charge 80 € for final cleaning. The apartment was very dirty and the bathroom was filthy. The bathroom was full of mould fungus and the door to the bathroom had not been cleaned for years, it was black from dirt on the lower part. There was a lot of big stains on the bed covers, they had not been cleaned for a long time. The price for this apartment is way too high when it is so dirty. Today, 4 days after we left, me and my daughter still have problems with our respiration.
After paying for this property I got an email a few days later saying that there had been a double booking and my booking was not valid.
The company were polite and efficient and I got my refund within a few days, but it was disappointing.
Booked a hotel instead.
It was a fantanstic stay in the apartment in Le Ginestre.
The beach is very nice and in the town are a few supermarkets.
Unfortunately was the wifi (we had to pay for that) not so well, in our apartment we had no signal.
The floor was dusty. Apartment is on the 5th floor without lift (no information on description) Be carefull for additional costs (bed linen, towels, taxes) Cleaning charged per person !!!! Wifi very expensive (24 Euro per week for 1GB) You must pickup and drop key 1,2 miles from apartment. Excellent furnitures on desciption - just typical table with chairs and sofa (nothing special) You must defrozen refrigerator but you cannot turn off. Huge PLUS - location !!!
This was an overall appalling experience and thus has led our family to never rent from Wimdu ever again moving forward. As the photos advertised a lovely apartment (not cheap, I might add - about $300 per night), we realized upon arrival and after reading the fine print that the photos on the post were simply an "example" of an apartment that you MIGHT be placed in. After taking an expensive cab ride to pick up the key and digging through pages of contracts to find the code to unlock the door and the safebox, we then had to take another expensive cab to the other side of the city where the apartment was located. The location was fine but we had to drag our heavy bags up three flights of stairs, because the apartment did not have a lift. When we arrived, the apartment was tiny and nothing like the photos online. The worst part was then at checkout, we were expected to return the key to the safebox again on the other side of town. These people BRIDGESTREET ARE COMPLETE FRAUDS! Do not rent from them. Ever.

(5 p.m. EDT) -- Tomorrow -- September 10 -- is historically the most active day of the Atlantic Hurricane Season, which runs from June 1 to November 30.
We've had at least one storm on September 10 for the past several decades. So, thinking an active Atlantic storm on this date was a metaphysical certainty, we initiated a forecasting challenge back on September 3. We asked: Which Atlantic storm(s) will be active on September 10, at any time during the day, EDT? Would it be Fred? Grace? A combination of named storms? Would we buck the trend and spend the day storm-free?
Since then, 120 storm chasers have participated -- and one lucky winner will be drawn at random from the correct respondents to win a Cruise Critic Cruise Essentials Pack (the rain poncho being the most apropos item).
While we won't know the official outcome until tomorrow, the latest forecast from the National Hurricane Center suggests that it'll be Fred and Fred alone in the Atlantic; 28 readers, or 23 percent, thought as much. Meanwhile, 31 wishful thinkers, likely those scheduled to be on Caribbean cruises during September 10, voted that there'd be no named storm. (Voting is closed, but check out the results here.)
As storm names moved up in the alphabet -- Henri, Ida, Joaquin, Kate -- the vote tallies generally trended downward. And one lone voter felt that'd we'd reach Peter, some 10 Atlantic storms beyond where we were when the contest began (Erika).
Storm naming conventions dictate that the list of 26 storm names are repeated every six years -- except in the case that a storm is so destructive or deadly that it'd be "insensitive" to keep it around for future use. Storm names are maintained and updated by an international committee of the World Meteorological Organization. You can find a complete list of 2009's Atlantic storm names in ... The Hurricane Zone.
Stay tuned later this week when we'll announce the results of the "Name That Storm" contest!

Atlantic Storm Season Peak Draws "Name That Storm" Contestants
Atlantic Storm Season Peak Draws "Name That Storm" Contestants

How much influence do Hollywood stars have on Congress? Apparently, quite a lot.
30 Rock superstar, PETA activist, board member at the progressive group People for the American Way and self-acclaimed lobbyist Alec Baldwin has been spending some time in the beltway this week pushing for more federal funding for the "arts."
Baldwin tweeted on Tuesday: "Lobbying Congress 2day 4 federal funding 4 the arts. Those $s create jobs and tax revenues, raise kids' test scores, build communities.."
@ErinHaust replied, "Y not pay for it yourself?" and "U have $$ & a commanding audience. Y not start a charity instead of digging ur hand into taxpayer pockets 4 ur pet project?" Haust asked, "R u saying only the govt can save the arts?" and "How does SPENDING tax $ RAISE revenue?"
These couple of tweets started a wave of activity from both Baldwin and Haust followers. Baldwin jabbed, "The Defense Dept is the pet project of rich Republicans. You got a problem with that?" and "if we don't secure our cultural heritage, what are we fighting 2 protect? Big Macs? Video games? Shopping malls?"
Followers of Haust responded in kind with statements like:
"next time we get attacked We can send the artists into battle to protect us" – @Rightwingdharma
"Seriously? American families can barely afford milk & gas. Why not just write a check yourself?" – @TheMommyLobby
Baldwin was in D.C. as special guest speaker at the National Press Club luncheon on Monday and touted his meetings and lobbying activities in his speech. Calling out representatives from Idaho, Illinois, New Mexico and 3 other states for what he called "favorable" and unfavorable actions in regards to funding for the arts, Baldwin said that he was pleased with his success.
This begs the question, is it ethical to lobby representatives that are not YOUR representatives from yourdistrict?
Alec Baldwin, like many in Hollywood with similar views, fails to see the greatness that true freedom of expression provides. Hollywood seems all too eager to lobby, push, advertise and admonish tax payers into funding that which makes them feel generous and righteous, even when they could solve the problem with their own money.
Minnesota Senator and fellow Saturday Night Live alum Al Franken has continued to push for arts funding. He also refuses to the let the Buffett Rule die. Perhaps Baldwin could gather some of his fellow 1%ers and use the money they would have spent on the Buffett Rule tax plan to start a charity to expand the arts, sans strings, throughout the country.

West Texas A&M defensive coordinator Colby Carthel isn't mincing words when he talks about the Buffs defense.
Next for Buffs
The matchup: West Texas A&M (0-2) at No. 6 Central Washington (2-0), 3 p.m. Saturday, Tomlinson Stadium, Ellensburg, Wash.
The game will not be televised. Radio coverage begins at 2:05 p.m. Saturday on KGNC (710 AM).
At Tuesday's weekly WT media luncheon, Carthel described Saturday's game at Central Washington (WT's third straight against an opponent that has been ranked at some point this season) as the time the Buffs will find out "whose momma raised a coward."
Judging by Carthel's no-nonsense attitude, the Buffs - particularly on defense - have some maturing to do.
"Central Washington is playing smash-mouth football. They took it right to the defending national champions (in a 13-10 victory against Minnesota Duluth last week)," said Carthel, in his fourth season at WT. "I'm sure watching our film where Central Oklahoma ran for 288 yards against us, they are licking their chops. We are going to have to meet them in the hole. Something has got to give."
After two games, the Buffs defense is allowing 30.5 points a game, but the WT special teams has allowed nine points.
The biggest problem is the run defense, which has allowed 444 yards on the ground.
After WT coaches viewed the film from last week's 24-17 loss to UCO, 260 yards of the Bronchos' 386 yards of offense came after first contact.
That doesn't change the fact the Buffs are winless, though.
"We are playing at an 0-2 level because we haven't held the opponents to less than what we score," Carthel said. "You can play great defense, but if you get beat 3-2, you still lose. There are growing pains that we're going through. We're close, but we have to get better in the fundamentals."
Carthel isn't cutting the defense any slack, giving them a grade of F.
"Hey, we're 0-2. We're not playing championship defense," Carthel said. "There are bright spots out there, but they get an F from their coach."
After the loss to UCO, the Buffs held a players-only meeting, led by the seniors.
"That happens all across the country," Carthel said. "Sometimes they need to get together and discuss things. It can be a gripe session or it can be a productive meeting."
Buffs senior linebacker Mark Ford, a team captain, said the meeting went well.
"We needed to figure out how to get motivation and more energy," said Ford, who ranks third on the team with 15 tackles. "Everyone's morale seemed really good after the meeting. We're not satisfied with the way we're playing defensively. We've missed too many tackles and made too many mistakes on things that we know better than to do. We have to execute."
