His lineage speaks for itself. His father is Richard Harris. His stepfather, Rex Harrison. His stepmother, American actress Ann Turkel. He himself has played unforgettable characters on stage and screen, most notably, Professor Moriarity in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, ad executive Lane Pryce in AMC's Mad Men, Captain Mike in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Ulysses S. Grant in Spielberg's Lincoln, and so many others. I am, of course, speaking of Jared Harris.
On meeting Jared Harris, one immediately notices the mischievous twinkle in his eyes and more than a glint of his father. His smile is broad and genuine. His laugh, hearty with a playful lilt. His handshake firm. His demeanor relaxed and engaging. He is everything that his latest character, Professor Joseph Coupland, is not. But it doesn't take long to discover that it's those differences that speak the loudest about both Jared Harris the man and Jared Harris the actor.
Leading the charge in the John Pogue helmed THE QUIET ONES under the Hammer Films banner, Jared Harris is easily poised to become the 21st Century Christopher Lee or Peter Cushing, legends of the 50's and 60's Hammer horror line. As Coupland, Harris assumes an air and persona through chain smoking randiness that walks the rapier line of 'Is he good? Is he evil?', effectively instilling the 'What's lurking beneath the surface?' energy in this terrifying parapsychological thriller.
As Harris explains, "You have a construction in your mind about the character and the interpretation and the journey that the character's going to go on and you look for those opportunities about where you can show the different colors of the character because you obviously can't do them all at the same time. . .I thought that [Coupland] was aware of the fact that he was a little bit of a star at the university. People thought that he had a sort of conceit about himself, that he was a rebel and that he was doing something that was dangerous and revolutionary. He had a little bit of a cult following to himself that he gathered around himself. There was this sort of narcissism about the character."
Viewing Coupland as a "terrible snob, he would look down his nose at people", the fact that there are only five main cast members allowed him tailor his tone for each. "[I]t's not hard to keep track of in the sense that your character has an opinion about who these people are and what he feels about them. He's a womanizer in the sense that he wants to be the center of attention for the two girls in the story. He's dismissive of the abilities of the two men. . .He plays favorites. . .The character is manipulative and he's aware of how he wants to manipulate the various different people.". All of which Harris executes beautifully.
A significant part of Professor Coupland involves his lustiness for the two female characters, Coupland's psychological experiment, Jane Harper, and his assistant, Kristine. In an amused chortle, Harris pipes up "It was a sort of fun part of the story. The character was so juicy in that way. He wasn't some sort of crusty old academic who is dispensing wisdom from behind a desk. He was actually involved, very physically in every aspect of the story. In a way, and I was thinking about this last night when I saw the movie again, he does have courage. He puts himself in harm's way. He looks for a few positive characteristics [laughing] but a fairly terrible palette otherwise."
Having worked with so many different directors on so many different-sized film budgets, working with John Pogue on THE QUIET ONES proved an experience unlike others, and something that played into his performance and character development. "With Spielberg you're trying to absorb as much of his knowledge as you can. His instinctive understanding of film, of camera, of story, of momentum, is really stunning. . . He sort of sweeps you along in his passion and his excitement. With John [Pogue] it's obviously more collaborative and you're trying to help in whatever way you feel that you're able to help. . .I had a good relationship with him. We rehearsed for two weeks so there was a chance for us all to contribute our ideas and put our ideas on the table and then cherry pick the ones that we liked." Harris is quick to also note that as the main character in the movie, as well as being the seasoned veteran among his younger co-stars Sam Claflin and Olivia Cooke, "[Y]ou can look after each other and you can protect each other and try to make things available."
Making Jared Harris a standout is also his involvement in and understanding of the filmmaking process itself. "[John Pogue] had a fantastic idea of what he wanted to do with this story, how he wanted to tell it. He and the DP [Matyas Erdely] had a very bold idea about how they were gonna shoot it in the sense that they weren't looking to try and do a lot of coverage, which was fantastic. They were trying to do continuous usable masters almost." That concept played into performance in terms of shot set ups and emotional beats.
Although having seen THE QUIET ONES "many, many, many times", Harris admits to still having a few scares. "When I first saw the movie I was absolutely rung out and terrified. There's still things that I enjoy because you know where the story is going, but I still enjoy them and they still freak me out. The scene up in the attic really works well. It was lit almost in pitch black. It's a very good scene." Scary enough on film, shooting in pitch black darkness presents its own scariness in real life. "The only light source in there was from the camera. There were several takes where people went walking off into walls and hurt themselves and twisted their ankle and cracked their head and we had to stop and bandage people up and then go back in there and do it again."
Given the body of work Harris has already created, and in light of his family legacy, it may surprise many that when he started out at Duke University, although majoring in drama and literature, acting wasn't in the forefront of his mind as a vocation. "I have to be honest. I was aware of it, obviously, because of my father [Richard Harris] and then my mother being married to Rex Harrison. I was aware of that world. It seemed like an attractive world in terms of it looked like fun, but I had no confidence or interest in my own ability. I was so shy I just did not think there was a connection there. It really was a sort of 'one off' thing. I like the comaraderie. I like the intensity of the experience. I like the fact that you had to get to know each other in the company really quickly. You had to get on with each other. You had to appreciate what each other's qualities were and support one another. You're all gonna tell the story in front of this group of strangers which is weirdly terrifying and exciting at the same time. And you knew right away whether it was working or not. There's just something magical about it. I enjoyed it. I knew that I enjoyed it and as one progressed through university and was handed bigger and bigger roles, I felt like I was able to take more and more on."
Perhaps most telling about Jared Harris the man, is one special night and one special memory with his father, Richard Harris. "My father came and saw me in my last play and I remember distinctly the look on his face when I saw him afterwards. He was surprised and he was really excited. We spent about two hours at dinner discussing the play, the performance, interpretation, acting, and I could see the pride in him. And I remember what he said. He said, 'Jesus Christ! You've got it! You've absolutely got it!'"

Season in Review: Stanford returned 11 starters and 96 percent of its goals from last year's team that advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history. Stanford played three Top 20 teams, plus current No. 17 Ohio State, and has gone undefeated. Last week, Stanford spent spring break on the road, beating Cornell, 17-9, on Tuesday and then beating No. 6 Notre Dame on Saturday, 11-10. The Cardinal rallied from a 9-6 second-half deficit with a 4-0 run. Lucy Dikeou sliced through the defense for the winner with 4:05 left. Megan Lerner drew a charge with 17 seconds left to preserve the win.
Stanford in the Rankings:
IWLCA coaches: No. 8 (No. 13 last week)
Brine media poll: No. 6 (No. 11)
Lacrosse Magazine: No. 6 (No. 8)
Lax Power computer: No. 10
RPI: No. 17
Highest-Ever Stanford IWLCA Ranking:
No. 6: Feb. 20, 2012
No. 6: 2012 preseason
No. 6: May 2, 2011
No. 6: April 25, 2011
* * *
Best Starts: This marks the third time in school history that Stanford has begun 8-1, equaling the same nine-game records of the 2001 and 2011 teams. The 2011 team began 8-0, which is the best unbeaten start in school history, and continued to go 14-1 for the best opening stretch with ony one loss. That team, which includes the current senior class, went undefeated in MPSF play, and won the MPSF tournament before losing to Florida, 13-11, in the first round of the NCAA tournament. That team finished a program-record 16-3.
MPSF Race: Four schools enter the main part of the conference without a loss. Perhaps even more impressive is that seven of the 10 MPSF schools have winning records. As for the conference race, 2013 MPSF regular-season champion Denver plays at Stanford, the defending MPSF tournament champion, on Friday. That will knock one unbeaten off the list, though USC and Oregon should remain unbeaten through this week. Right now, six MPSF schools have one conference loss or fewer.
* * *
Friday's Opponent, Denver: The Pioneers are 9-1 overall and are tied with USC atop the MPSF, with 3-0 records. Denver moved into the Lacrosse Magazine poll at No. 19, but is unranked by the IWLCA and Brine top 20s. The Pioneers are No. 24 in the RPI, to Stanford's No. 17. The Pioneers won the 2013 MPSF regular-season title with an 8-0 record, but lost at home to Stanford in the MPSF tournament final, 7-6. Denver went on to advance to the second round of the NCAA tournament before losing to Florida, 16-5, and finishing 18-3. Denver is averaging only 7.50 goals per game, good for 10th in the country in scoring defense. Jill Remenapp leads the nation with 31 assists and is 17th in total points, with 45.
The Stanford-Denver Series: Stanford holds a strong 17-6 all-time series lead, but the two have developed into MPSF heavyweights and regularly compete head-to-head for conference championships. Since 2007, Stanford holds a 7-5 series edge. They have met in the MPSF tournament six of the past eight seasons, with five coming in the MPSF championship game, of which four were decided by one goal, all won by Stanford.
Sunday's Opponent, Colorado: Colorado is fairing well as a first-year program, holding a 5-5 record and holding a 2-1 conference record. The Buffaloes have beaten Saint Mary's, 19-5, and Fresno State, 12-6. Goalie Paige Soenksen is 16th in the country and first in the MPSF in goals-against average, at 9.10, and is seventh in the nation in total saves, with 91. Colorado plays at UC Davis on Friday night before meeting Stanford.
The Stanford-Colorado Series: This is the first meeting between the two.
* * *
Senior Day: The Colorado game marks the last weekend regular season home game of the season and Stanford will use that as an opportunity to honor its four seniors: Anna Kim, Megan Lerner, Lyndsey Munoz, and Nina Swanson. Rachel Ozer also is a member of the class of '14, but she will return for a fifth season while co-terming (simultaneously working toward a masters and undergraduate degree).
Anna Kim: Four-year starter ... 2013 IWLCA All-Region second team ... 2013 All-MPSF first team ... 2013 MPSF All-Tournament team ... 2012 All-MPSF second team ... 2011 MPSF Newcomer of the Year.
Megan Lerner: 2013 All-MPSF first team ... Stanford record holder for draw controls in a single season (63) ... holds school record for draw controls in a game (nine).
Lyndsey Munoz: Three-year starter at goalie ... 2011 MPSF Tournament MVP ... 2013 MPSF All-Tournament team ... 2012 All-MPSF second team.
Nina Swanson: Team captain ... 2013 All-MPSF second team ... 2012 All-MPSF second team ... 2013 MPSF All-Academic team ... 2012 MPSF All-Academic team.
Tewaaraton Watch List: Stanford has three players on the watch list for the Tewaaraton Award, collegiate lacrosse's highest individual annual honor: sophomore midfielder Lucy Dikeou, junior midfielder Hannah Farr, and senior attack Rachel Ozer. Farr was added two weeks ago, while Dikeou and Ozer were part of the original list, which numbers 53. The list will be expanded April 10 and then be cut to 25 on April 24. Five finalists will be announced May 8 and invited to the awards ceremony May 29 in Washington, D.C.
MPSF Players of Week:
Lucy Dikeou: Named MPSF Offensive Player of the Week this week after scoring four goals against Notre Dame, including the winner with 4:05 left, in an 11-10 road victory over the No. 6 team. Dikeou also caused four turnover, had two ground balls and a draw control.
Kelsey Murray: Named MPSF Rookie of the Week after a combined four goals and four assists in victories over Cornell and Notre Dame. Murray scored two goals during a 4-0 run that allowed Stanford to rally from a 9-6 deficit against the Irish.
Rally Time: Stanford has trailed in six games this year, and has a 5-1 record in those games. Here are some facts about Stanford in games in which it has trailed:
• In games when trailing at halftime, Stanford is 3-1.
• When trailing with 10:00 left in the 2nd half: 2-0
• In games when trailing by two or more: 3-0
• When trailing by multiple goals in the second half: 2-0
• Largest deficit: 10-4, 2nd half vs. Georgetown; Stanford won 11-10 in double overtime.
• Second-largest deficit: 9-6, 2nd half vs. Notre Dame; Stanford won 11-10.
Overtime: Stanford has played three overtime games this season, going 2-1. The victories came over ranked teams on the road in back-to-back games. On March 7, Hannah Farr scored on a free-position shot one second before the first overtime half and the goal stood in an 8-7 victory at No. 11 Towson. On March 9, Stanford overcame a 10-4 second-half deficit by shutting out No. 14 Georgetown over the final 32:03 of the game. Alexandra Crerend scored on a free-position with one second left in regulation to tie it, 10-10. Lyndsey Munoz saved a free-position shot in the first overtime and Lucy Dikeou scored the winner with 3:46 left in the first sudden-victory overtime period. On March 2, Stanford lost to Vanderbilt, 16-15, by allowing two goals in the final 34 seconds of the first overtime period.
Against Ranked Teams: Stanford has played three games against teams that were ranked in the IWLCA at the time of the game and has gone 3-0 -- all on the road. Stanford won back-to-back overtime victories over No. 11 Towson (8-7) and No. 14 Georgetown (11-10) on March 7 and 9. On March 29, Stanford beat No. 6 Notre Dame, 11-10, rallying from a 9-6 deficit.
National/Conference Rankings: Stanford certainly has solid statistics, but nothing that has made an impact on a national scale. The following are Stanford's top rankings as a team and individual in the national rankings, with conference ranking in parentheses:
10, Win Percentage, .889 (2nd MSPF)
15, Ground Balls Per Game, 19.11 (2nd)
17, Scoring Offense, 13.53 (2nd)

62, Lyndsey Munoz, Ground Balls, 2.33 (7th)
69, Lyndsey Munoz, Save Percentage, .405 (5th)
Two-Sport Athlete: Junior midfielder Hannah Farr not only is one of the best players in the West, but she is a two-sport athlete at Stanford, also playing on the Cardinal's powerhouse soccer team. Farr, a midfielder who usually is among the first off the bench, was a member of Stanford's 2011 NCAA championship soccer team as a freshman. She is the first ever at Stanford to participate in soccer and lacrosse. In lacrosse, she is a two-time All-MPSF first-team choice, is on the Tewaaraton Award watch list and was named the MSPF Offensive Player of the Week on March 17. She also is among the first Bay Area natives to play lacrosse for Stanford, having grown up just 16 miles up the Peninula, in Hillsborough, and attended San Francisco's St. Ignatius Prep.
Poplawski's Streak: Freshman Alex Poplawski has not only started all nine games of her brief collegiate career, but she has scored goals in each of the the first eight. Poplawski, a 6-foot midfielder from Springfield, Pa., scored four goals against Cornell and is tied for fifth on the team goal-scoring list with fellow freshman Kelsey Murray. Each has 13 goals.
The Rise of the MPSF: Stanford's Mountain Pacific Sports Federation is growing in size and stature. Last year, both Stanford and Denver won first-round games in the NCAA tournament, each for the first time. There are now 10 teams in the conference, with the addition of first-year program Colorado. USC is in its second season with lacrosse and San Diego State is in its third.
MPSF Preseason Poll: Stanford is the choice to win the MPSF, as determined by a vote of conference coaches. The Cardinal is the preseason favorite for the fifth consecutive year and seeks to win its ninth MPSF title in 10 years. Stanford received seven of 10 possible first-place votes, with 2013 regular-season champion Denver receiving two and USC, in only its second season, receiving one.
On the Horizon: Next week, Stanford could play another undefeated conference opponent. Oregon will plays host to Stanford on Friday, April 11, in a game televised by the Pac-12 Networks. Oregon (5-4, 1-0) is among four teams without a loss in MPSF play going into this week's play. The Ducks play at California on Thursday at Saint Mary's on Sunday.

Media Watch - 3rd April
Gateshead star Novak wants to exit on a high - Apr 3 2009 by Jeff Bowron, Evening Chronicle
THE Blue Square North's leading scorer Lee Novak has put his Golden Boot ambitions on the back burner as he looks to blast Gateshead to promotion.
The Tynesiders' five- week stay at the top ended in midweek when Tamworth won their six-pointer at Southport, but Novak insists the title race is not over.
The Lambs are at fifth-top Alfreton tomorrow and Southport at seventh-placed Harrogate, while Gateshead go to sixth-bottom Stafford.
The midlands outfit have one of the worst home records in the Conference North, having scored just eight goals in 18 games at Marston Road.
Stafford have lost half of their league games at home and are bottom of the current form table with just three points from their last nine games.
Novak said: "We're playing really well and will probably need to win our last five games to have a chance of the title - and we're capable of doing that.
"It's in Tamworth's hands now, but both they and Southport have difficult away games tomorrow. They will both drop points in the run-in and we've got to keep winning to capitalise on that."
Novak, signed for a giveaway £3,500 from Newcastle Blue Star in September, wants to leave Gateshead in the top flight of the non-league game before he links up with Huddersfield Town for a fee that could eventually reach £150,000.
The 20-year-old hit-man has scored seven goals in his last eight games and has scored 25 goals for Gateshead, while his main rival for the Conference North Golden Boot, Tamworth's Gareth Sheldon, has scored one fewer.
"I said when I signed for Huddersfield during the transfer window that the perfect way to leave Gateshead would be after helping them to promotion," added Novak.
"Whether that is as champions or through the play-offs, the aim remains the same.
"Winning the Golden Boot would be the icing on the cake, but I'm more bothered about Gateshead getting promoted."
Novak will continue his new partnership with on-loan striker Darryn Stamp at Stafford, while another loan signing, Tony Dinning, could make his debut.

Locals participate in Farm Credit Young Leaders Program
Justin and Julie Peeler of San Antonio recently learned about the role they can play in shaping the policy that affects this country's farmers and ranchers. They were among 28 young agricultural producers selected to attend the 2011 Farm Credit Young Leaders Program. Member-borrowers of Texas AgFinance, which is part of the Farm Credit System, the couple interacted with government, financial and agricultural decisionmakers and got an inside look at how the System operates.
During the sixth annual event, sponsored by the Tenth District Farm Credit Council, participants traveled to New York City and Washington, D.C., while the 2012 Farm Bill was taking form. Each lending co-op in the district chose participants who have shown outstanding leadership and involvement in the agriculture industry.
Justin, the son of Alonzo and Barbara Peeler, grew up on a cattle ranch south of Jourdanton. A graduate of Texas A& M University, he started a commercial hunting lodge in 1994 after spending two years living and working at fly-fishing lodges in Alaska and Central America. He manages his lodge and the hunting operations on his land and parts of his father's land. His other business interests include sustainable cattle ranching and real estate investing.
A visit to the U.S. House Chamber during a vote capped off the four-day trip, which included meetings with agriculture industry representatives, Farm Credit Council officials and congressional staff in Washington, D.C. The group also had a briefing at the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation and toured a Wall Street brokerage firm in New York City.
The Tenth District Farm Credit Council is the grade association that presents the legislative and regulatory interest of the Farm Credit Bank of Texas and its affiliated institutions throughout Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas.

Harry Styles' ex Caroline Flack 'sent Twitter knife threat' by One Direction fan
11:50 20 July 2012
A fan of boyband One Direction has allegedly sent a knife threat to Caroline Flack, who previously dated band member Harry Styles.
The presenter of TV show Xtra Factor has complained to the police after allegedly being sent a menacing picture of a teenage girl holding a six-inch knife.
The message was apparently sent via the twitter username @harmonynostrils69 - which has since been deleted.
A friend told The Sun newspaper: "Caroline was shocked" while police have said "we're investigating".
This is a new blow for Caroline after a man accused of stalking her for three months was recently arrested.
The 39-year-old man - who has not been named – was questioned after he reportedly kept turning up at the Xtra Factor presenter's workplace to give her gifts.
Following his arrest he has been bailed until August by police.

Author and attorney Bob Balch's latest novel "The Bowie Secret" is much more than a murder mystery. The reader realizes almost immediately from the moment Sheriff Bob Elliott discovers the body of victim Jonas Bowie with an arrow piercing his heart that this mystery will include an odyssey not only through Texas, but also Native American history.
Called to the home of neighbor Jonas Bowie by the report of something unusual, Elliott sees an arrow sticking into the gatepost. That's only a hint of what is to come. When the sheriff enters the home of Bowie, he discovers his friend dead with another arrow piercing his heart.
Elliott's investigation leads the reader on a journey through Texas history back to legend Jim Bowie. The murder victim is a descendant of Jim Bowie who is an icon for many reasons. Through the investigation of Elliott, Balch leads the reader on a fascinating tale which includes references to Bowie's death at the most famous of all Texas battles......the Alamo. The reader also learns that Bowie was famous for a lot more than dying at the Alamo.
Balch disclosed that Bowie once killed a sheriff in self-defense in the famous Battle of the Sandbar. And of course his weapon of choice was the knife which bears his name.
Anyone who is interested in history will love this book which also follows the trail of the Lipan Apache tribe. Balch said in an interview that unlike their hated enemies the Comanches, the Apaches split up. The book includes an interesting view into the Mescalero Apaches as well as the Lipans. Because the Comanches were united, they were stronger than the Apaches and had a numerical advantage.
Balch, who is a serious student of history, further said another reason the Comanches were ultimately able to defeat the Apaches was the fact they were superior horsemen.
Balch delves into Apache history through the murder weapon used in this murder. When Elliott discovers the three feathers on the arrow are the signature of the Lipan Apaches, he is able to narrow down his list of possible suspects.
But before Elliott can determine the identity of the actual murderer, he has to find a motive. And to do that he must travel back through the family history of Jim Bowie which leads him back to the victim in this case.
In this his seventh book, Balch skillfully weaves the mystery and history genres into a tapestry which produces a page-turning read for anyone interested in either area. In this book he is also able to employ his legal expertise to help Sheriff Elliott solve the murder.
His previous books include four works of historical fiction. "The Brazos Connection" tells the story of a hunter who discovers a great Christian artifact on the Brazos River. His second book "Bridgetown on the Red" relates the story of two neighbors on the Red River caught in in the great oil boom of 1919.
Balch's third book is "Treasure of the Wichita" and tells the story of a treasure buried at the falls of the Wichita River. He also includes Native Americans in this book as a member of the Wichita tribe is a major character.
In his sixth book "Maroon Paint" he veered into a different genre as he combined with Commerce, Texas attorney Charles E. Perry to relate the dramatic story of the Texas A&M football program from 1964-1968. This was the era when Gene Stallings returned to the College Station campus and led the Aggies to victory over Alabama in the Cotton Bowl against mentor Bear Bryant.
For himself, Balch is something of a Renaissance Man. He graduated from Baylor University with an accounting degree and also earned a law degree from the Waco campus. He was smart enough to be hired by one of the Big Eight accounting firms where he worked before practicing law in a wide variety of areas. He is also an avid sports fan and excited by the fact Coach Art Briles has led his beloved Baylor Bear football team to uprecedented heights of glory in recent years.
Bob and his wife Deborah live in Wichita Falls. They have two sons who are both doctors.
With seven published books under his belt, readers will be glad to know Balch said he is already thinking about his next writing venture.

See a map of planned light-rail extensions
Phoenix officials have put the brakes on the new light-rail system's first expansion, saying it cannot afford to build tracks or operate trains along another 3 miles of 19th Avenue.
The delay of at least 16 months means the soonest the light-rail extension can open is 2014, about six years after the starter line opened.
Deputy City Manager Ed Zuercher said he decided against asking the Phoenix City Council to award a construction contract on the Northwest Extension because local sales-tax receipts, the sole funding source, have nose-dived in the past three months.
Unlike other extensions, the projected $273 million project is being paid for entirely by local sales taxes because the city wanted to avoid a complicated process required to tap federal funds.
Work was to have begun in the spring and was pushed back to June. Now, Zuercher said, the soonest the city will revisit a construction contract for the extension will be late 2010. Phoenix will use the time to acquire property along 19th Avenue.
The delay could be prolonged if economic conditions continue to deteriorate, which could happen because the decline in tax revenue is accelerating.
It's now possible that the first addition to the Metro system could be an automated people-mover connecting the 44th Street Station to Sky Harbor International Airport. The first leg of the $1.1 billion Sky Train project is scheduled to carry its first passengers in 2013.
Phoenix's action is the latest sign that the timing and details of the 57-mile, light-rail network approved by voters remain in flux.
Last month, regional transportation groups agreed to push most light-rail projects back a year or two. One project, a 12-mile track toward Paradise Valley Mall, was pushed back to 2030, meaning it cannot happen unless voters renew the tax or rail planners find another source of cash. The tax expires in 2025.
A proposed south Tempe rail spur is running into technical and financial hurdles. Although a recommendation isn't due on the Rural Road alignment until the end of the year, planners are leaning toward a rapid bus, like Mesa's LINK line, as more feasible than light rail.
Last week, the Scottsdale City Council voted to quit the Valley Metro board, the strongest signal yet that light rail is a long shot in that community.
In the West Valley, a study of two possible routes to Glendale is due to begin by the end of summer, but both rely on Phoenix completing the track within its city limits. One route, a voter-backed plan to go to downtown Glendale, would branch out from the now-delayed Northwest Extension. The other would extend west through Phoenix in the median of Interstate 10, then run along Loop 101 to the Westgate Center in Glendale.
Construction on a Glendale extension isn't scheduled to begin until 2016, so the project won't necessarily be set back by Phoenix's delay.
"We don't believe (the Northwest Extension) will be completely out of the plan, but it's a matter of how long before Phoenix can afford it," said Jamsheed Mehta, Glendale's transportation director.
The Northwest Extension has had a difficult birthing.
Initially, tracks were envisioned crossing Interstate 17 and ending at Metrocenter mall. When it hired planning consultants, Metro decided it made more sense to stop at a corporate park on the eastern side of the freeway.
Two years later in March 2007, Phoenix leaders pared that project, shortening the track by nearly 2 miles and eliminating two proposed stations.
Phoenix and Metro decided to use only local taxes to build the extension because construction would go faster without having to meet regulations tied to federal funding. About three-quarters of the money comes from a Phoenix sales tax approved in 2000; the rest comes from Prop. 400, a countywide sales tax passed in 2004.
By avoiding the federal bureaucracy, Phoenix and Metro also now have made it unlikely that they could tap federal stimulus money.
Phoenix, Glendale, regional and Metro officials called the delay regrettable but prudent.
"This is disappointing news, but not a surprise given the state of the economy. Although difficult, it's the fiscally responsible thing to do," Metro Chief Executive Officer Rick Simonetta wrote in an e-mail to employees earlier this month.
"The overwhelming feeling is disappointment," Zuercher said, explaining that he made the decision because contractors were ready to begin staging work. "We've experienced the high of opening day. We've seen the growing ridership. We've heard the positive comments about what light rail is doing for Phoenix, but the economic reality is driving everything now."
The Northwest Extension took shape when planners made economic forecasts at the peak of the local economy. In the past three months alone, Phoenix has lowered its projections on transit-tax revenue by $60 million.
Metro said the changes do not break faith with Valley voters.
"Our goals are still the same: We will still use the regional transit plan as a guide to plan extensions," Metro spokeswoman Hillary Foose said. "This is a result of the economic times, but people are still going to get what they voted for."

Planned extensions for the Metro light rail in Phoenix have been slowed by the city's plummeting sales-tax revenue.

A History of Britain
Stretching from the Stone Age to the year 2000, Simon Schama's Complete History of Britain does not pretend to be a definitive chronicle of the turbulent events which buffeted and shaped the British Isles.
What Schama does do, however, is tell the story in vivid and gripping narrative terms, free of the fustiness of traditional academe, personalizing key historical events by examining the major characters at the center of them.
Not all historians would approve of the history depicted here as shaped principally by the actions of great men and women rather than by more abstract developments, but Schama's way of telling it is a good deal more enthralling as a result.
A study of the history of the British Isles, each of the 15 episodes allows Schama to examine a particular period and tell of its events in his own style.
1. Beginnings: 3100 BC – 1000 AD. Simon Schama starts his story in the stone age village of Skara Brae, Orkney. Over the next four thousand years Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Danes, and Christian missionaries arrive, fight, settle and leave their mark on what will become the nations of Britain.
2. Conquest: 1000–1087. 1066 is not the best remembered date in British history for nothing. In the space of nine hours whilst the Battle of Hastings raged, everything changed. Anglo-Saxon England became Norman and, for the next 300 years, its fate was decided by dynasties of Norman rulers.
3. Dynasty: 1087–1216. There is no saga more powerful than that of the warring dynasty – domineering father, beautiful, scheming mother and squabbling, murderous sons and daughters, (particularly the nieces). In the years that followed the Norman Conquest, this was the drama played out on the stage of British history.
4. Nations: 1216–1348, this is the epic account of how the nations of Britain emerged from under the hammer of England's "Longshanks" King Edward I, with a sense of who and what they were, which endures to this day.
5. King death: 1348–1500. It took only six years for the plague to ravage the British Isles. Its impact was to last for generations. But from the ashes of this trauma an unexpected and unique class of Englishmen emerged.
6. Burning convictions: 1500–1558. Here Simon Schama charts the upheaval caused as a country renowned for its piety, whose king styled himself Defender of the Faith, turns into one of the most aggressive proponents of the new Protestant faith.
7. The body of the Queen: 1558–1603. This is the story of two queens: Elizabeth I of England, the consummate politician, and Mary I, Queen of Scots, the Catholic mother. It is also the story of the birth of a nation.
8. The British wars: 1603–1649. The turbulent civil wars of the early seventeenth century would culminate in two events unique to British history; the public execution of a king and the creation of a republic. Schama tells of the brutal war that tore the country in half and created a new Britain – divided by politics and religion and dominated by the first truly modern army, fighting for ideology, not individual leaders.
9. Revolutions: 1649–1689. Political and religious revolutions racked Britain after Charles I's execution, when Britain was a joyless, kingless republic led by Oliver Cromwell. His rule became so unpopular that for many it was a relief when the monarchy was restored after his death, but Cromwell was also a man of vision who brought about significant reforms.
10. Britannia incorporated: 1690–1750. As the new century dawned, relations between Scotland and England had never been worse. Yet half a century later the two countries would be making a future together based on profit and interest. The new Britain was based on money, not God.
11. The wrong empire: 1750–1800. The series is the exhilarating and terrible story of how the British Empire came into being through its early settlements—the Caribbean through the sugar plantations (and helped by slavery), the land that later became the United States and India through the British East India Company - and how it eventually came to dominate the world. A story of exploration and daring, but also one of exploitation, conflict, and loss.
12. Forces of nature: 1780–1832. Britain never had the kind of revolution experienced by France in 1789, but it did come close. In the mid-1770s the country was intoxicated by a great surge of political energy. Re-discovering England's wildernesses, the intellectuals of the "romantic generation" also discovered the plight of the common man, turning nature into a revolutionary force.
13. Victoria and her sisters: 1830–1910. As the Victorian era began, the massive advance of technology and industrialisation was rapidly reshaping both the landscape and the social structure of the whole country. To a much greater extent than ever before women would take a center-stage role in shaping society.
14. The empire of good intentions: 1830–1925. This episode charts the chequered life of the liberal empire from Ireland to India – the promise of civilisation and material betterment and the delivery of coercion and famine.
15. The two Winstons": 1910–1965. In the final episode, Schama examines the overwhelming presence of the past in the British twentieth century and the struggle of leaders to find a way to make a different national future. As towering figures of the twentieth century, Churchill and Orwell (through his 1984 character Winston Smith) in their different ways exemplify lives spent brooding and acting on that imperial past, and most movingly for us, writing and shaping its history.

Epic and awesome. Thank you Vlatko.
Very enjoyable, however, after Episode 5 part 2 there are sections missing.
What is it with these documentaries... they miss the most important parts, i.e. the ancient cultures revered the feminine and the patriarchal (christian based) cultures were intent on squashing this through war... this is what our systems are all built on today and why it goes wrong. This doc made some reference to this through Boudicca but left the point unmade... dissapointingly ruining this doc as a serious attempt to uncover the past.
I enjoyed the documentary, had never really read much aboutthe history of England. I had read about the germanic tribes but not tooo much about the invasion of Rome. Of course I knew it happened but I had no idea that there was a Britt/Roman hybrid culture invented that ;asted and influenced even the Saxxons. I must say though that I disagree with Peter, as it sounds like he wants to trade christianity in for some older pagan religion. I want to do away with all the made up fairytales and live a secular life. Spirituality should be a personal thing haveing nothing to do with the way the country is run or how soiciety is organized. But, Peter and everyone else has there right to believe as they like and maybe they out weigh folks like me. If so then let it be I say, majority should rule as always.
Man that was some horrible spelling, sorry guys. Didn't proof read that one before posting.
Yes! Waldo. I think the trouble with religion today is resentment. One religion resents the other for one reason or another. I see so many people becoming pseudo pagans, because they hate the distorted views that each church or religion creates in order to run with some little idea they choose from the big picture. After changing over, they tend to do the same thing that the pseudo Christians do! Now, I'll watch this and see just how bad it is, or how good it is. If I have blind faith in anything, it's Vlatko's effort to give us all sides, with no agenda.
Peter is right and it has nothing to do with religion or paganism. patriarchy was not always the order of the day and we have an obligation to understand that, and how and why it changed.
Read The Chalice and the Blade (I think it's called.)
How did this turned into a discussion of religion is beyond me.
internet porn leads to talking about religon. always will be someone on either side to start a debate...
majority rule... meaning 51% of a population can enforce there will on the other 49%.
If there is a division like that, then the two halves should just split into different countries. No one should have to force themselves on anyone else. Look at Sudan. Muslim North and Animist South. Conflict. So, they broke up into two countries. Problem solved.
If you believe ancient religions revered the feminine, you've swallowed a whole bunch of bullshit. Ancient cultures had male gods too. You think a culture that revered the feminine would have worshipped a god like Thor, the most masculine god ever?
Men and Women were viewed to be equal, not one better than the other, but were also recognized to be valuable in very different ways. It's easy for people who don't look at the whole picture to think that pagans worshiped women or men, but the reality is they worshiped both. The Spring and Summer was the time for Women, celebrating fertility and planting and so on, and then the Fall and Winter where the harvest and hunting was required for survival, that time belonged to the men.
It was true equality, not this half-assed bullshit "equality" where men's masculinity is practically socially unacceptable and women try to be the dominant sex. Men and Women each have their places and are good at what they do. Woman are great at baring children and raising them, working in the fields, taking care of the home, while men are good at the heavy lifting, the hunting, the providing. I think women are chatty and men are more reserved because of these differences. If men and women back then suddenly switched roles they'd have a hard time indeed! Women would be to noisy and impatient to catch any animals and wouldn't be physically strong enough to raise the structure of a house, and men certainly can't carry, give birth and breastfeed the next generation. Gee, maybe traditions exist for a reason!
Isn't a belive to be born free as a cosmopolitan, MORE than beeing born free as a Britain????
Thank you for sharing this doc. This was one of my favourite series.
We learned British history at college in Hungary partially based on this documentary.
Now I work in London and every day when I pass by Charing Cross Station, this documentary comes to my mind.
(The area's name originates from the Eleanor cross erected in 1291–94 by King Edward I as a memorial to his wife, Eleanor of Castile.)
thanks this was a great documentary. Being from america, you don't know very much about british history because they mostly teach us about american history in school. I'm fascinated by the tousands of years of history you have compared to ours.
Men and Women were always treated as having different functions in society. Then the 19th century propaganda came and claimed that men and women are equal in all facets of life, which is factually incorrect.
thor is hot. id even worship thor
For now. Unsure Sudan should be held up as a shining light for the rest of the world.
This stems largely (as so many things do in my opinion) from the lack of male / male interaction in the formative years. up until the end of the 19th century boys would spend all day out in the fields digging up turnips with their brothers, uncles and fathers. During the 20th century fathers ( and older role models such as brothers and uncles) roles changed in as much as they were more and more required to leave the home to obtain employment, leaving male children in the company of mothers, sisters and female teachers. As vitally important as mothers are to a young boy a woman cannot teach a boy to be a man.
When was this documentary released?
I'm writing about Elizabeth and its is important to know the year when released as well as its producer, medium of publication....
Schama's style detracts from the view ability of this history. Too smart & smarmy for the viewers good
And they balanced Thor with Freya and other goddesses . Let's not forget the Valkyries as well. The point is the balance of all things, each gender was worshipped for its powers and together as equals balanced the universe. FYI, at the end of the world, according to Norse legend, all the gods die and all that is left are man and woman.
And those boys left with men, like priests and at boarding schools - they sure learned things women wouldn't have taught them! All through history children grew up without mothers and fathers - it didn't necessarily lead to anything.
Hmm, Grace Hopper is archeological evidence is she? What excavation was that exactly?
She was an important and major contributor in the early development of computer language, but by no means did it all by herself as your post infers.
You don't think women are more chatty then men? On average it's about 20k words spoken per day by women, compared to an average of 13k words by men. Google it yourself to see. Basically a 3:2 ratio.
Yes, in history you will find female warriors, queens ruling, scientists ect. But do your historical numbers, and see if that is the norm, or the exception.
If you want to find the biggest load of untruths ever, go listen to some religious theology and their apologists and the BS they go on with.
Both sexes, in general, are better suited to some things then the other. Whether you like it or not, that's a fact. I've worked jobs that 99% of women cannot physically do. And that's not because I think that, it's because I've seen multiple women try, only one came close to being physically capable (with some help from us males around her to be honest), a strong Maori lady. If you think you're as strong as a man, go do some strength testing against males. There is a reason young men have historically been sent to war, and rarely women.
Women tend to be much better with empathy, and in my experience make much better nurses/carers on average then males because of this.
How is it misogynistic to point out both sexes have their strengths and weaknesses? Or are you just being over-sensitive because of what seems to be your feminist agenda? Women are better then men at many things, and vice versa. Its a fact of life, not anti-female or anti-male, it's pro-reality.
I agree with your earlier post, it's a balance, and each needs the other. It's a team effort deal, we're mutually dependent on each other.
Frankly, in my opinion, your post this one is replying to is much more inaccurate and in your words, stupid, compared to Anjanettes.
Hmm, you think that a woman can't sexually abuse a young male too? (the point of your priest reference I take it). Although less common by the criminal stats, women abusing children by no means doesn't happen as you infer. I think you missed Rhys' point. A decent role model, for either gender, is important to help shape the adults they will become. Missing a role model doesn't automatically HAVE to lead to problems, but often does. A boy with a decent male role model is much more likely to become a decent man himself. Same for a girl. So your problem is what with his post exactly?
Rhys Maclean
Seriously? When I state that I subscribe to the importance of male / male role models I was not actually talking about pedophiles PJ. In all honesty, you need to talk to somebody mate.
Interesting programme - shame about the intrusive music. Why do programme makers feel the need to tart up the spoken word with "background" music
What a drag this documentary was. Very poor video quality, repeated sequences, and that sound - hard to take. The man has a terrible diction, I did not understand 20-30% of what he said - did he speak English? War and fight events cheaply choreographed. Inadequately and poorly relayed horror and tragedy of some important historical facts. Why all these texts in Latin and olde English? I couldn't read them anyway. Monotonous, boring, and way too long. I forced myself to view the entire parade just to have an opinion. Give us a more lively history of that great nation, it deserves better - and that from a Yankee.
This doc sucks.
It's more like 15%. Maybe half of the population registers to vote and maybe half of those turn out for the election and maybe half of those plus one win the election. They then impose their will on the other 85%.
They are of course equal, however these comments on 'what men and women are like' are obscenely generic and stereotypical. I am a girl and I am most certainly not 'chatty', I do not cry more because I am female, I am certainly not more emotional which I am sure many other women would also say about themselves. I understand many points made in this conversation as, for example, men are biologically predisposed to have bodies better built for strength than women. However this does not mean men are stronger than women, especially not in Western society today. A boy does not need to have a father in his life to grow up to be a man, and a girl does not need a mother in their life to become a woman. Problems occur as they have throughout history when too much emphasis is put on gender roles, and 'what men and women are like' - its far too broad - everyone is different! This is how the whole masculine = active, feminine = passive debate comes into play. An incorrect stereotype was created based on peoples biological reproductive organs, and people were taught how to behave accordingly, ultimately resulting in the oppression of women which is still continued today. To the earlier comment, not all women want to have children! Not all men want to hunt and go to war. In my opinion, this is far too generic and outdated.

TestNG over beats JUnit ?
By xzajo on May 15, 2006
GlassFish project quality team chose TestNG framework for testing. Why did they make the decision? They compared the both tools in this document.
It looks like war Eclipse versus NetBeans. NetBeans dominate five years ago in Java IDE's. NetBeans had few dessign problems and almost no innovation. Therefore Eclipse eclipsed NetBeans. But the situation is quite different now. There was many new features in NetBeans 5.0. Everything is in one pack (J2SE, J2EE, J2ME, profiler). The NetBeans team is focused on usability. Many 3rd party plugins are available on nbextras.org NetBeans 5.5 beta with EJB support has been released. Completely new java editor will be in NetBeans 6.0.. And eclipse? Yes there exists many plugins for eclipse. But with different UI and the plugins are not compatible. No it is no end of Eclipse. It's challenge for Eclipse team. They also need to innovate. So who wins the war between two java opensource IDE's? I think the user. He will have two powerful java IDE's. Isn't great to have two different opensourced java IDE's in the world?
Back to subject TestNG versus JUnit 4. What is idea of TestNG? I think:
- Support features which are missing in JUnit
- Simple usage. Only one jar without dependencies on 3rd party libraries and simple API.

A survey shows about two thirds of voters in David Cameron's constituency want a referendum on whether the UK stays in the EU.
07:41, UK, Sunday 04 November 2012
Almost a third of voters in David Cameron's constituency would "seriously consider" voting against the Prime Minister if he does not offer a vote on Britain's future within the European Union future, according to a poll.
And one in 10 Tory supporters in Mr Cameron's Oxfordshire seat of Witney insisted they would would back another party if it offered a referendum on the UK's EU membership and the Conservatives did not.
The Com Res survey for pro-referendum campaign group the People's Pledge revealed that about two thirds of voters in the constituency want a referendum on whether the UK remains linked to Brussels.
More than half (53%) of Tories in the electoral district said the vote would be pointless unless it included an option for Britain to leave the EU.
Chris Bruni-Lowe from the People's Pledge said: "The Prime Minister can't afford to ignore support for an in/out EU referendum.
"Even a majority of Conservative voters in his own seat say holding one without an 'out' option would be pointless.
"The willingness of people to switch their vote to another party over a referendum should worry politicians who refuse to support a clear in/out vote on Britain's membership of the EU."
It comes just days after Tory backbenchers collaborated with Labour to defeat the Government over the EU budget.
Some 53 of the party's MPs joined forces with the Opposition to pass an amendment demanding a cut in the EU's seven-year funding package.
According to the poll, 69% of voters in Labour leader Ed Miliband's Doncaster North seat would also like an EU referendum.

Disappearing dogs and a mysterious white van were being reported in Lonedell, Mo back in March of 2013. According to a Fox2 News report on January 22, 2014, more dogs are disappearing in and around Albany, Mo recently and witnesses are once again reporting seeing a white van.
When the van first started showing up and taking dogs right off the street, it was reported that the van had a humane society sign on the side of it, so people just assumed it was legitimate. The Franklin County Humane Society confirmed that they did have a white van, but they only used it for animal transport and were not picking up dogs off the street.
Several dogs in the Albany area have went missing and then miraculously reappeared at their owner's door. Some were reported to have injuries when they returned. One dog disappeared out of a fenced yard and showed up 10 days later. His owner told Fox News:
Went to the door and there he stood, half frozen, very thin, with lacerations all over his neck. His feet were all cut up and so were his paws,"
So what fate do these dogs face after they have been snatched? Did this dog somehow get away and injure himself in trying to find his way home? Was he an unwitting contestant in an illegal dog fight and then was let go or got away? What about the missing dogs that have never been found?
It seems like whoever is in this white van will stop at nothing to get their hands on a dog and they are so good at snatching and disappearing that they have eluded being caught. It doesn't seem very smart that they would continue to use the same white van, but apparently they are getting away with it.
The best way to keep your dog safe is to always keep an eye on him or her. Do not leave your dog alone, even in a fenced in area, because a fence is not stopping them. Even if you allow your dog to be off leash at a dog park, be aware of your surroundings. It only takes a split second for someone to grab your dog and be gone.
If you see a white van in your area, guard your dog closely and watch to see what the van is doing. If it is a vehicle you are not familiar with and it gives you any reason to be suspicious, call your local police department and report it. You might be saving someone's dog from a terrible fate.

Liquid Oxygen vs Gas oxygen
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
Morning - can anyone explain the difference between liquid and gas oxygen> I do know that liquid oxygen is more expensive - but do not understand what the difference is - does liquid oxygen come in smaller portable tanks?
my thanks to all for the help (and great advise)you have all given me.
I've had emphysema for many years but because I was functioning (after my lung volume) - I never thought of all the questions I have about oxygen - also, can anyone improve to the point of not needing oxygen?

Hey Reo!
Thinking about going out in public? G-R-E-A-T!! I'm so proud of you!
I cannot speak to much to your question but I can tell you about the liquid O2 stuff.
My Mom has had 3 types of portables: the small green O2 tanks I had to pull around for her :( , a smaller type that refilled from her concentrator, that she wore over her shoulder,or I carried :( :( , which was ok, and this newer liquid O2 "Helios". Boy, I like the Helios.
She has a thing that looks like a fanny pack she wears around her waist :) . It only weighs about 6 pounds. It's great. I guess you could throw it over your shoulder, I just never asked.
You use 2LPM when you are on the go? It would probably last you 4-5 hours on a full tank (which only takes about 30 seconds to fill from the big tank. Mom is on 3 LPM all the time (on her back, or on the go) and her big tank is picked up once a week, every 5 days when we fill the portable twice. She's on Medicare, has unlimited refills and they charge Medicare $640 a month ($500 for big tank & $140 for the portable). I take a big gulp every time I see that bill come in, for sure! Thank God for Medicare! Of course, the price varies depending on where you live. More people will make comments on your other issues later on today, I bet. Hugs, Laurie

Good Morning Reo,
There are 3 types of Oxygen therapy
1. Compressed 02 (gas in cylinders) furnished in different sizes by your supplier. You cannot refill them yourself.
2. Liquid Oxygen requires a central unit to refill portables. You can refill your portable units from the central unit. The central unit in your home is refilled by your supplier.
3. Concentrators are electrically operated and extracts air from the room separates the 02 from other gases present and delivers 02 to you by the usual cannula system. The portables for these are various and work by battery.
At this point, I believe that the concentrator systems are the only personal 02 systems allowed on aircraft for travel. Otherwise the airlines will provide(for a fee) the 02 required to travel.
About getting off oxygen. My blood oxygen saturation stays above 90% at about 95% and I use 02 only at night. My doctor told me that your breathing dips at night and the 02 also aids your lungs (kinda like giving you lungs a little rest when you sleep).
There are other people on here that have more info than I so malybe they will add to your questions.
Have a restful day,

Personally, I like the Portable oxygen compressor units. If the battery runs low I can recharge via a car adaptor or electric outlet and don't have to have any big tanks or units. My unit weighs about 8 lbs. has a shoulder strap and a hand cart - my choice on which I wish to use. The only problem is most of them are activated only by your breath instead of just a free flow. Nice thing is if it doesn't register a breath in a minute a alarm rings.
Airline no longer provide O2- you have to rent a unit from a supplier. After looking at the costs and co-pays and since I travel so much, I bought my own unit. It has 5 batteries and at 4 liters runs for about 8-9 hrs using all the batteries. I just used it on a trip to Hawaii and even used it at night ( plugged in) instead of the hassle of finding a supplier and renting a large compressor for the night time.

Pearl...great explanation....*smiles*
Hi Roe...(hugs)...I have been told so many times that I would never be able to be without my O2 again...However, there are days when my levels seem to stabilize where I can comfortably be without it....I always use it at night for the reasons already shared....Going out...Well I always have it with me and usually do feel a need to use it because upon activity my sats. drop and I get very SOB.....I truly think that one can tell when they need it and when they can go without....I become disorientated, confused and my children say my speech becomes slurred....I always feel it in my eyes first...lol....Sounds strange but true....The kids say and I feel drunk when my levels get low....Lets face it we all want to experiment and try different things....You will come to know when you do and do not need the O2.....Great question....
Love and Blessings, Serenity

There are still airlines that provide supplemental 02 inflight for passengers with lung disease. It does take planning and there are restrictions but it is doable. This link will give you most of the initial info that you will need.
|View More Posts Ignore
A few months ago I flew and used a concentrator. Airlines do not provide O2 but airports do allow O2 suppliers access to planes for travelers in need of O2. The suppliers set it up and will tutor the traveler in use of the equipment. The supplier will also have O2 waiting upon you arrival at a different airport if that is your need.

Just in case you would like to check what the regs are for specific airlines, the link below is provided. I may be misunderstanding the requirements but it is there for each to determine if you are considering flying again.
Thanks all.

Thank you Anna for that very useful link! I may reconsider flying someday. Hugs, Sue

I use liquid oxygen and like it much better than the compressed. The to go units you fill are lighter than the compressed units and overall the ease of handling and savings of the cost of electricity is so worth for myself anyway. I love it and would not in anyway want to go back to compressed.
Getting off oxygen depends on many things. You mentioned you had (after my lung volume), are you referencing lung volume reduction? Did you just recently have an exacerbation and have to have oxygen? Many time people have a short set back and do get off oxygen. A daily routine of exercise is very important also.
I wish you the very best in gettin off of it, I know after my surgery it was a relief to be off of it during the day.

Thanks for the site Anna. When I recently talked with a couple of airlines in the US I had hit snags, most aren't still aware of the regs that came into effect this May. Another good site is
This is a great piece of paper to also have with you when you fly in case you get stuck with a non-informed airline rep.

By Julie D. Griffin
Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey star alongside each other at the most intellectual political event of the year known to man himself. The NBA tickets of the supposed gods come into the hands of the journalist, and what happens later, her editor fully intends to make the perfect center section of that magazine. After all of the flowers of all of the other fluff, and while Andie Anderson, a writer of Composure Magazine, her assignment to write about how to fall in love with a man and by just being herself, she has a strange knack to just drive him away within a matter of only days. Unbeknownst to her, her subject of interest who she falls in love with actually and quite by mistake, and without even realizing it, just made an executive bet with the fellows that he has the ability to make any woman he wants fall in love with him. If he wins his bet, he gets the diamond advertising account. If Andie writes her article, she thinks she may get a new promotion as a writer writing about all of the things she and she alone wants to write about. Part of her article she wants to write on behalf of a friend who after only around a week falls in love with a man who dumps her. Her cure for the friend, which involves advising her not to hang onto any relationship, means writing things like I Can Too Use My Personal Life For A Story column.
With ad campaigns like Make a woman fall in love with you like diamonds, the guy of the delight of Andie becomes just as giddy, adventurous and despondent over chocolate, and as a more equal eternity turns out date nights for the two, through simple conversation they begin to find love like diamonds and companionship with each other they never knew, they never knew. "After I win this bet, the pitch is mine." Brags the man just about to fall head over heals in love with the woman. The spar for a sizzling sophisticate relationship, the check mate of her yet unrealized vision, at first things seemed pretty exciting, and did seem even as he said as saving the world. Thinking only at first of winning her editor over, Andie replies, If I do it her way for awhile, then I can write about everything I want. A great answer and a good question begins the romance. And of course, as she advises she is always in a state of exceptional repose and fantasia self-control. And yet, just as many before had already found, glam clinks and a sweater works as the battle weapon for a fast engagement just as well as a nice smile.
A woman is therefore to a man for times and perhaps a time thereafter a artifact of some interest. Yet as Andy does her investigative reporting about the secret story of romance, she changes her own smile to reflect her true feelings inside. One experiment will soon fade and as the parody of two lovers who only believe themselves a mardi gras type of parlay, the dance of romance just as a mating season of spring brings them together through the method of a volatile and powerful chic flic which also draws upon an audience of males. Some scholarly value still on the basis of film tech voluptial, term the film something a lot more like vegetarian when meat was not preferred. Despite several of the women of the film on the liberation forefront, as a comic romance the film rocks even without a claim to love famine. As she hides in the diner to eat wrapped meat while wearing a Princess Sophia gown, at least the girl does get a little me time while watching her favorite basketball team play on television during one scene. Finally, in the midst of that premier, Andie gets ready to spring into action herself, and as the story goes on, two people who thought one thing end up falling in love about another.

The next time you are in Orlando check out Celebration, a small town planned and designed by the Walt Disney Company. The town took its overall plan and architectural inspiration from southern cities such as Savannah, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina. Just a two hour drive south from Jacksonville, a visit to Celebration makes a great day trip or even a nice three day weekend. If you run out of things to do there's always Disney right next door.
Market Street & Town Center
The center of life in Celebration, Florida is the Town Center. Here are located shops, restaurants and public buildings. During the Winter holidays you can also let your kids try their hand at ice skating on an artificial ice rink and every night it "snows" on Market Street (although here the snow is really just foamy soap bubbles!) Your kids can also take a ride on a holiday train or you can your family can hop aboard a horse drawn carriage to tour the residential areas of Celebration.
Be sure to grab a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants or a sweet treat at the bakery or ice cream shop.
Lake Rinehart
You can also take a walk along the lake that fronts the Town Center called Lake Rinehart. Here you will find families and couples out for an evening stroll, teens skateboarding, toddlers learning how to ride their first bike, and father's teaching their sons to fish. The view of downtown Celebration from across the lake cannot be beat.
Residential Areas
You can't leave Celebration without touring the many different residential areas of the town. The homes take their design cues from the historic southern cities of Savannah, Georgia; Charleston, South Carolina; and New Orleans, Louisiana. You will see rows of town homes in the Savannah Square neighborhood that looked like they were plucked right out of Savannah. And Victorian gingerbread houses that seem like fantastical doll houses.

The patronage of the Dukes of Medinaceli.
Built on the highest point of the town in sandstone. It was built under the auspices of the Dukes of Medinaceli, nobles of the town.
Building work began in the 13th century but was not finished until the 17th century. There are three naves covered with groin vaults and side chapels. There is a Baroque entrance, called Forgiveness, that started as a reredos but was never finished, and another Baroque doorway called Sol which is the main entrance to the temple. The reredos of the high altar was replaced by a Renaissance baldachin and a staircase with balustrade. Inside there are images of great value such as that of patron saint Virgen de los Milagros from the 13th century, and the Nazarene by Pedro Roldán. In the chapel of Sagrario there is an altarpiece made of Mexican silver.
