The response of four cubic metals to shock loading is reviewed in order to understand the effects of microstructure on continuum response. Experiments are described that link defect generation and storage mechanisms at the mesoscale to observations in the bulk. Four materials were reviewed; these were fcc nickel, the ordered fcc intermetallic , the bcc metal tantalum, and two alloys based on the intermetallic phase TiAl; Ti–46.5Al–2Cr–2Nb and Ti–48Al–2Cr–2Nb–1B. The experiments described are in two groups: first, equation of state and shear strength measurements using Manganin stress gauges and, second, postshock microstructural examinations and measurement of changes in mechanical properties. The behaviors described are linked through the description of time dependent plasticity mechanisms to the final states achieved. Recovered targets displayed dislocation microstructures illustrating processes active during the shock-loading process. Reloading of previously shock-prestrained samples illustrated shock strengthening for the fcc metals Ni and while showing no such effect for bcc Ta and for the intermetallic TiAl. This difference in effective shock hardening has been related, on the one hand, to the fact that bcc metals have fewer available slip systems that can operate than fcc crystals and to the observation that the lower symmetry materials(Ta and TiAl) both possess high Peierls stress and thus have higher resistances to defect motion in the lattice under shock-loading conditions. These behaviors, compared between these four materials, illustrate the role of defect generation, transport, storage, and interaction in determining the response of materials to shock prestraining.
Structural and optical properties of core-shell nanowires designed by pulsed laser deposition106(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3253572View Description Hide Description
Core-shell ZnO/ZnMnO nanowires on and GaN (buffer layer)/Si (111) substrates were fabricated by pulsed laser deposition using a Au catalyst. Two ZnO targets with a Mn content of 10% were sintered at 1150 and in order to achieve the domination in them of paramagnetic and ferromagnetic phases, respectively. Cluster mechanism of laser ablation as a source of possible incorporation of secondary phases to the wire shell is discussed. Raman spectroscopy under excitation by an laser revealed a broad peak related to the Mn-induced disorder and a redshift in the phonon. Resonant Raman measurements revealed an increase in the multiphonon scattering caused by disorder in ZnO upon doping by Mn. Besides the UV emission, a vibronic green emission band assisted by a LO phonon is also observed in the photoluminescencespectra. Core-shell structures with smooth shells show a high exciton to green band intensity ratio even at room temperature.
Sintering and crystallization behavior of based glass-ceramics106(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3239852View Description Hide Description
We report on the synthesis, sintering, and crystallization behaviors of a glass with a composition corresponding to . The investigated glass composition crystallized superficially immediately after casting of the melt and needs a high cooling rate (rapid quenching) in order to produce an amorphous glass.Differential thermal analysis and hot-stage microscopy were employed to investigate the glass forming ability,sintering behavior, relative nucleation rate, and crystallization behavior of the glass composition. The crystalline phase assemblage in the glass-ceramics was studied under nonisothermal heating conditions in the temperature range of in both air and atmosphere. X-ray diffraction studies adjoined with the Rietveld–reference intensity ratio method were employed to quantify the amount of crystalline phases, while electron microscopy was used to shed some light on the microstructure of the resultant glass-ceramics. Well sintered glass-ceramics with diopside as the primary crystalline phase were obtained where the amount of diopside varied with the heating conditions.
Study of the oxidation state and the structural aspects of the V-doped106(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3253761View Description Hide Description
A modified sol-gel method for synthesizing vanadiumdoped titania is being reported. These materials were thoroughly characterized for their oxidation states by electron paramagnetic resonance and x-ray absorption near edge structure and the local environment of the V-atom were investigated by the x-rayabsorption fine structure. V-doped titania was found to be more active than nanotitania for photo-oxidation of methane in air under ambient conditions using UV-visible irradiation. The vanadiumdoping in the crystal lattice of titania leads to a mixture of oxidation states of and in the crystal lattice sites of the , which is crucial for its catalytic activity.
Surface modification of magnetic recording media by filtered cathodic vacuum arc106(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3245399View Description Hide Description
Surface modification of a magnetic recording medium was accomplished by filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA). The carbon overcoat of thin-film disks was removed by ion sputter etching in vacuum to prevent oxidation of the exposed magnetic medium, which was then modified by FCVA carbonplasma under conditions of zero and −100 V pulsed substrate bias. Monte Carlo simulations performed with the T-DYN code, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),atomic force microscopy(AFM), and surface force microscopy (SFM) provided insight into carbonimplantation profiles, surface chemical composition, roughness, and nanomechanical properties of the surface-treated magnetic medium. The dependence of surface modification on the FCVA treatment conditions is discussed in the context of T-DYN, XPS,AFM, and SFM results. The findings of this study demonstrate the potential of FCVA to provide overcoat-free magnetic recording media exhibiting oxidation resistance and enhanced nanomechanical properties.
Reactive Ni/Ti nanolaminates106(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3253591View Description Hide Description
Nickel/titanium nanolaminates fabricated by sputter deposition exhibited rapid, high-temperature synthesis. When heated locally, self-sustained reactions were produced in freestanding Ni/Ti multilayer foils characterized by average propagation speeds between and 1.4 m/s. The speed of a propagating reaction front was affected by total foil thickness and bilayer thickness (layer periodicity). In contrast to previous work with compacted Ni–Ti powders, no preheating of Ni/Ti foils was required to maintain self-propagating reactions. High-temperature synthesis was also stimulated by rapid global heating demonstrating low ignition temperatures for nanolaminates. Ignition temperature was influenced by bilayer thickness with more coarse laminate designs exhibiting increased . Foils reacted in a vacuum apparatus developed either as single-phase B2 cubic NiTi (austenite) or as a mixed-phase structure that was composed of monoclinic NiTi (martensite), hexagonal , and B2 NiTi. Single-phase, cubic B2 NiTi generally formed when the initial bilayer thickness was made small.
Effect of ultraviolet irradiation on luminescence properties of undoped ZnS and ZnS:Ag nanoparticles106(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3253756View Description Hide Description
Undoped ZnS and ZnS:Ag nanoparticles have been prepared through hydrothemal synthesis. The changes of luminescence properties induced by ultraviolet irradiation have been investigated. For both samples, the initial slight increase in luminescence is ascribed to the fast electron filling, while the succedent decrease is supposed to be caused by nonradiative pathways originating from some unknown photochemical products. The more remarkable decrease in ZnS:Ag is put down to the segregation of Ag on the surfaces of ZnS:Ag nanoparticles. Multipeaks Gaussian fitting is applied to the emission spectra. The fitting peaks around 490 nm in both samples are related with the surface states emission and the fitting peaks around 456 nm in ZnSnanoparticles and 443 nm in ZnS:Ag nanoparticles are attributed to the type of donor-acceptor pair luminescence, which corresponds to the transition between different donor levels and acceptor levels in different samples. A model of stretched exponential function is used to fit the fluorescence decay spectra. Result shows that the introduction of ions causes a spectacular lifetime shortening of ZnS. Experiment result also verifies the model as that the lifetimes of both samples are notably shortened after irradiation for 2 h.
Reaction pathway analysis for dislocation nucleation from a Ni surface step106(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3254178View Description Hide Description
Threshold strain required for a thermally activated dislocationnucleation from a Nisurface step has been measured using an atomistic-based reaction pathway analysis. We show that the saddle-point configuration and the stress-dependent activation energy are strongly influenced by the presence of a surface step. Our results provide insight into the previous experimental findings concerning the mechanism on a coherency loss at the interface. We conclude that the coherency strain caused by a lattice mismatch between Ni and Cu does not yield a sufficient driving force for the dislocationnucleation.
Mechanism of Na-doped -type ZnO films: Suppressing Na interstitials by codoping with H and Na of appropriate concentrations106(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3254221View Description Hide Description
Hydrogen is codoped with sodium into ZnO films. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectroscopy indicate that the Na concentration decreases as the substrate temperature increases. Hall-effect tests reveal a transition from -type to -type conduction when the growth temperature increases, which is explained by the suppression of Na interstitials by codoping with H and Na of appropriate concentrations. An insulating intended Na–H codoped sample shows reduced resistivity and -type conductivity after annealing at , which may be due to dissociation of complexes. The realization of -type ZnO by Na–H codoping may explain the discrepancies in behavior of Na in ZnO and suggests the potential of Na–H codoping method [E.-C. Lee and K. J. Chang, Phys. Rev. B70, 115210 (2004)].
Nanoindentation-induced phase transformation in relaxed and unrelaxed ion-implanted amorphous germanium106(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3255999View Description Hide Description
We have investigated nanoindentation-induced plastic deformation in amorphousgermanium (a-Ge) prepared by high-energy self-ion implantation. Using cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, micro-Raman spectroscopy, and force-displacement curve analysis, we find strong evidence for a pressure-induced metallic phase transformation during indentation. Crystalline diamond-cubic Ge-I is observed in residual indents. Relaxed and unrelaxed structural states of a-Ge exhibit similar behavior on loading, but transform at different pressures on unloading. Both forms are markedly softer mechanically than crystalline Ge. These results assist in furthering the understanding of the intriguing phenomenon known as "explosive crystallization."
Low energy photoelectron diffraction analysis at high angular resolution of Cu and Mn/Cu surfaces106(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3253329View Description Hide Description
X-ray photoelectron diffraction simulations using a real-space approach are shown to accurately produce the extraordinarily detailed photoelectron diffractionpattern from Cu{111} at an electron kinetic energy of 523.5 eV. These same simulations show that most sensitivity is obtained when using low energy electrons at high angular resolution.Structural differences are observed to be greatest around a kinetic energy of and many of the features observed in the photoelectron diffractionpatterns may be directly related to phenomena observed in low energy electron diffractionpatterns from the same surface. For Cu{100}, simulations of buckled surfaces with a Mn overlayer predict that low energy photoelectron diffraction can easily discriminate chemical and structural differences. Even the effects of the relaxed surface of Cu{100} is indeed observable along azimuthal scans around a kinetic energy of 100 eV. Our results show that low energy photoelectron diffraction is extremely sensitive to changes in surface structure if high resolution patterns are acquired.
Adjusting the resonant frequency and loss of dendritic left-handed metamaterials with fractal dimension106(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3253720View Description Hide Description
Left-handed metamaterials (LHMs) with fractal dendritic cells have recently been demonstrated at both microwave and infrared frequencies. Here, we try to utilize only a single parameter, the fractal dimension, to manipulate the geometries of dendritic structures, and then adjust the resonant behaviors and lossy characteristics of the dendritic LHMs. Both the dendritic LHMs for electromagnetic wave parallel and normal incidences are discussed in this paper. As the fractal dimension increases, the left-handed resonant frequency of the dendritic LHMs decreases, and the lossy characteristics could be well adjusted. The method proposed in this paper could be an important guidance for LHMs' design, especially for the dendritic LHMs operating at optical frequencies.
Growth kinetics of Ge crystals on silicon oxide by nanoscale silicon seed induced lateral epitaxy106(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3245329View Description Hide Description
In this paper, we present our studies on the growth kinetics of Ge crystals on silicon oxide by nanoscale seed induced lateral epitaxy. We propose a simple and reliable method based on standard local oxidation of silicon technique for creating nanoscale silicon seeds at the edge of thermally grownsilicon oxide stripes of desired thickness. The growth of Ge from germane is initiated in the two silicon seed lines and evolves toward a complete wetting of the stripe after coalescence. The wetting mechanism of by Ge is strongly dependent on the seed orientation and closely related to the development of {111} facets. The coalescence of adjacent Ge crystals results in an improvement in the organization of the initial material. As a result, no defect is visible in the inner part of the structure. The observed defects are arrays of misfit dislocations standing along the seed lines, while only few dislocations are visible through the Ge crystal. Geometric phase analysis of high resolution transmission electron microscopy images and x-ray diffraction reciprocal space maps show that the so-grown Ge crystal stripes on layer are fully relaxed, homogeneous, and fully coherent along their length. The main deviation regarding a perfect epitaxial relation with the silicon substrate is a tilt of ±0.6° around the longitudinal axis of stripe crystals.
luminescence by energy transfer from in phosphor106(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3253721View Description Hide Description
phosphors co-doped with and were prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method. Prepared phosphors had characteristic luminescent spectra excited under near-UV excitation in which both the broadband spectrum assigned to and the narrowband spectrum assigned to are observed, although is inactive with this photon energy in general. The sudden emergence of the luminescence shows that energy transfer is possible in the phosphor. We also studied the energy transfer mechanism in terms of the resonant energy transfer theory and found that the crystal structure of the host material plays an important role in the luminescence properties of the phosphor. The energy transfer is ascribed to the overlap between the shorter luminescence band from the crystal structure with two Sr sites and energy level of ion. Therefore, this phosphor has a potential for application to white light-emitting diodes excited by near-UV light.
A first principles study on optical transparency mechanism in Dy doped ceramics106(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3253727View Description Hide Description
Dy dopedceramics prepared by the hot-pressing method show a high optical transmittance value, , in the infrared region of . First principles calculations have been carried out to reveal the underlying transparency mechanism. It is found that the valence shell of doped Dy atoms interacts strongly with the doping states of , resulting in the increase in the optical gap from 0.4 to 1.1 eV, which suppresses the photoabsorption in the wavelength region longer than and leads to the good transparency property. The calculated optical transmission spectra are in good agreement with the corresponding experiments.
Hydrogen induced lattice expansion and crystallinity degradation in palladium nanoparticles: Effect of hydrogen concentration, pressure, and temperature106(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3253733View Description Hide Description
A detailed structural study involving in situ glancing angle x-ray diffraction (GAXRD) analysis carried out on Pd nanoparticle and thin film samples at hydrogen concentrations of 2%, 5%, and 10% over temperature ranging from to and hydrogen pressures ranging from 250 to 1000 mbars is reported. Variation in the lattice constant has been interpreted in terms of hydrogen content in and phases, and decrease in XRD peak intensity has been interpreted in terms of hydrogen induced degradation in crystalline quality and temperature induced lattice disorder. It is observed that Pd–H interaction is strongly influenced by the temperature and pressure dependences of physisorption,chemisorption, and diffusion. These results show that the increased surface area, interparticle gaps, and electronic enhancement result in enhanced Pd–H interaction in case of nanoparticles. In addition, the presence of single phase and lower crystallinity degradation is observed in the case of Pd nanoparticles in comparison to thin films. The above mentioned differences between nanoparticles and thin films are more pronounced at lower temperatures due to the increased presence of subsurface sites.
Ultrasonic harmonic generation from fatigue-induced dislocation substructures in planar slip metals and assessment of remaining fatigue life106(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3254223View Description Hide Description
An analytical model is presented of the microelastic-plastic nonlinearities resulting from the interactions of a stress perturbation with dislocation substructures and cracks that evolve during cyclic fatigue of planar slip metals. The interactions are quantified by a material nonlinearity parameter extracted from acoustic (ultrasonic)harmonic generation measurements. The parameter for a given fatigue state is highly sensitive to the volume fractions of active persistent Luders bands (PLBs) and PLB internal stresses, as well as to the densities, loop lengths, and dipole heights of the dislocation monopoles and dipoles that form the PLBs. The parameter is predicted to increase monotonically with the increase in the hardness of the metal during cyclic loading, thus allowing an unambiguous assessment of the remaining life of the material. The model is applied to the calculation of as a function of percent full fatigue life of IN100 nickel-base superalloy. The theoretical predictions are in good agreement with experimental measurements reported in the literature of IN100 samples fatigued in strain-controlled, low cycle, fully reversed loading.
Nonlinear refraction properties of nickel oxide thin films at 800 nm106(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3254233View Description Hide Description
Measurements of the nonlinear refractive index,, of nickel oxide films prepared by controlled oxidation of nickelfilms deposited on substrates of soda-lime glass are reported. The structure and morphology of the samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy,atomic force microscopy, and x-raydiffractometry. Samples of excellent optical quality were prepared. The nonlinear measurements were performed using the thermally managed eclipse Z-scan technique at 800 nm. A large value of and negligible nonlinear absorption were obtained.
Structure of orthorhombic martensitic phase in binary Ti–Nb alloys106(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3255966View Description Hide Description
The structure of orthorhombic martensitic phase of Ti–8Nb, Ti–12Nb, and Ti–16Nb alloys has been investigated using Rietveld refinement of x-ray diffraction data. The chemical analysis data have been used to determine the site occupancy of initial models. A limit of the Wyckoff positions has been proposed based on the symmetry of the Cmcm space group, which allows the movement of atoms without breaking the space group symmetry. This has also been incorporated in the initial models of experimental alloys, and accordingly Wyckoff positions have been refined. It has been observed that the atoms move along the Y-axis (parallel to the b-axis) and the movement of atoms increases with increase in Nb concentration. The formation of orthorhombic phase has been explained based on the movement of atoms along the Y-axis. This in turn breaks the hexagonal symmetry and forms an orthorhombic phase.

While the experimental results are in good agreement with our DFT calculations, the results from classical potential calculations differ significantly from experiments.
Optical properties and switching behavior in nanophosphor106(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3259370View Description Hide Description
The upconversion (UC) efficient nanophosphor powder has been synthesized through the combustion route using urea as a reducing agent. The UC studies have been carried out using 532 nm excitation, and the samples show intense emission bands in ultraviolet (340 and 383 nm), blue (411, 458, 472, and 491 nm), and green (523 nm) regions of spectrum. Downconversion emission bands are also observed in green (550 nm) and red (672 nm) regions. The pump power dependence of the emission intensity shows that two photons are involved in creating one upconverted photon and that excited state absorption is the excitation mechanism. The excitation intensity stimulated switchinglike behavior has been observed in the intensities of some emission bands. Phonon assisted energy migration from the level to the upper and levels, opening up a new channel for emission at a certain level of input power, is thought to be the probable cause of a switchinglike mechanism. The plasmalike continuum emission has also been observed at elevated excitation powers.

Overview of Ethics in Higher Education
In the United States, the roots of the relationship between moral education and higher education are firmly grounded in America's Judeo-Christian heritage. The purpose of "higher" education was to pursue truth, and truth was inextricably linked to morality. In our Christian perspective, the best and correct moral truths were found in scripture. As science evolved, so did an allegiance to empiricism. The scientific method became what differentiated facts and values, and suddenly truth could be debated. Scholars began to argue that the best forms of knowing were the result of empirical inquiry. This was the point at which the pursuit of knowledge departed from the pursuit of morality and religion. Factual truth became the domain of science and moral truths were left to the purview of religion.
Higher education had to find a way to honor the pursuit of truth, and sustain its connection to moral development. It did so by secularizing moral education. It found ways to engage students in moral development that were philosophically based, and not religious based. No longer was morality considered a product of religious piety. Complete secularization did not occur until late in the 20th century, and only after institutions of higher education dabbled with the idea that scientific truth equated to moral goodness. As academic disciplines emerged, the struggle to differentiate and distinguish themselves from other academic disciplines became paramount, and the idea emerged that the value each discipline added to society was through technical excellence, not moral guidance. It was at this point, late in the 20th century that higher education experienced an institutional bifurcation of morality and truth. Given the fact that moral education and higher education is inextricably linked in the American consciousness, the separation of morality and truth did not absolve colleges and universities of their responsibility to create developmental experiences that would improve goodness and morality in its students. And so evolved several strategies to inculcate students to a world of "rightness" and "goodness" as proxies for moral soundness. To explicate some of those strategies is the purpose of this web site.
Since the 1980s, there has been a trend in higher education institutions to review, revive, or create ethics policies. Most of these school have been inspired by scandals occurring on their campuses. For instance, in 2003, 12% of the women graduating from the United States Air Force Academy reported having been raped by male cadets during their four year undergraduate experience. This incident caused not only the Air Force Academy, but colleges across the nation, to seriously consider the role of ethical development in their curriculum. Colleges found themselves soul searching for ways to reconcile their role in the moral and ethical lives of their students (Reuben, 1996).
Additionally, there has been a rise in plagiarism on college campuses, fueled in part by the abundance of information accessible by the Internet and the ease with which a student can access that information. For example, in 2003, a graduate student at Ohio University uncovered 55 theses written in the mechanical engineering department that showed evidence of plagiarism. The scandal and its coverage ruined OU's reputation; the Russ College of Engineering and Technology at OU instituted its first honor code in February 2008.
This site has been created to assist faculty and administrators navigate through the complex issues that surround ethics education on a college campus. It also provides several examples of how a variety of schools - with very different characteristics - address the education of ethics to their students. This site highlights programs and schools that believe it is possible to teach ethics to college-age students, it is the responsibility of college to do so, and the outcomes of this type of education are measurable.

I loved our Alaskan Cruises. Our kids were entertained, so we got lots of grown up time. The scenery is like nothing I have ever seen.
We also went on a cruise around the Hawaiian Islands. I didn't like that as much but it was an easy way to see 4 islands.
I really love all the food choices. It's hard to please our whole family, but cruises seem to be a good fit. Even my nature loving, introverted husband likes them.
Amazing how many posters whine like sue happy democratasses
Pathetic to see, some here so litigious

Big difference between what you experienced and what is looking like a lack of maintenance of a ship... which the passengers were captive to. In a land tour you can pretty much bail on the tour if they are not living up to expectations. On a ship you are captive to what they provide you.
I figured I'd get a snarky comment from somebody.
In the years before airplanes, rich people took cruises - because they had to in order to travel abroad. In more recent years, cruises have become status symbols for the poor and middle class. I guess I don't get it; know that people who take cruises regularly swear by it, but not for me.
Sometimes things break.
Its easy, don't go on a cruise.
You mean people DON'T sleep and sun themselves on the deck during a cruise?
Heck I thought that was why most people went.
"had known engine problems"
I'm amazed that a mishap in one engine room would knock out so much of the auxiliary power on the boat. Seems like not a good way to design a large boat, but then I don't know much about this particular situation.
"Cruises are for the easily amused, shut-ins and others who what to spend their time with a bunch of strangers."
You're not alone, believe me. My wife & I would far rather spend a week at the beach, go for beach walks, get our own meals or go out for dinner, see local sights, come & go as we please. Dependence upon others minimized.
Went on our honeymoon cruise in 1983 on a converted passenger liner already thirty years old. Enjoyed it greatly, at least we were on board a real ship, not a floating casino/mall.
I've got five inches of snow in my backyard so it ain't gonna happen soon.............LOL!
My brother-in-law is from Honduras and I've gone with he and my sister and their family on vacations there many times. And on every trip there was a significant event where my friends would ask me why the hell I go there......LOL!
I wouldn't trade those memories for the world........
Cruises aren't for me but if I ever do take one it will be a great lakes cruise. Partly because its different and they cater to older people who are far better company on an extended trip.
I personally have no problem listening to an old man drone on about the history of a lighthouse or little town on the shore.
We are all so spoiled today that if anything out of the ordinary and expected happens than it is a major event.
Nobody died, not even close, no passengers where injured or sickened, not even close. They simply had a bad vacation experience due to the fact that there was a fire in the ships engine room.
These things happen. Life is messy.
They where offered fair compensation, if they chose to sue, they will probably get less. All those ships are registered in foreign countries and are not subject to American courts. Maritime law is much less inclined to the whims of the crybaby spoiled American tourist.
Agree. We have been looking at river cruises. Mississippi or the Danube, it's 100 passengers or less, pleasant company likely, and if something goes wrong with the boat, the dry riverbank is RIGHT THERE!
I love Cruises !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can;t wait to do it again this summer!!! Woot Woot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doesn't look that bad.
There was a storm on the East Coast a few months ago, knocked out the electric. I, in Cleveland, OH close to 500 miles away, lost power for a week. This in the middle of the country, in the middle of the winter.
Some people STILL are living in tents and have no electric in Long Island and we are supposed to believe that a bunch of tourists will be permanently damaged because they had to poop in a bag and sleep on deck for a few days?
lol! excited much? haha! I'm glad you are looking forward to something fun, my FRiend. :)
All that fun for only about $1,200 per person. Sounds heavenly. :-)
Sounded like fun to me, glad he agreed it was.
As this thread demonstrates, cruises are very polarizing. You either hate them or love them.
That being said, cruising used to be better. They now have this "freestyle" crap where you can eat in one of several different restaurants. What they don't tell you (before you book the cruise) is that you have to make reservations BEFORE the ship sails, or you won't get a table. They also play down the fact that in these "restaurants" the food you would want - say lobster or steak - is extra. You can always get a table in the regular dining room or buffet, but the food choices there tend to be not quite up to the selection or quality in the specialty restaurants.
Other things that used to be free - like soft drinks and basic port tours - are also now extra.
Cruises used to offer "classes" to bring you up to speed on the port you would be visiting next. These have now turned into sales presentations to get you to go to particular stores or restaurants which, of course, the cruise line has a financial interest in.
I still like cruising, but if you don't know what you are getting into, it can be quite a shock to the wallet.
remember who are the passengers are carnival.
old people.
drunk people looking to be laid. (ie no neighbors to rat on you)
fat people.
You also have knowitalls who think they know better than EVERYONE how to deal with an emergency. (ie drill another hold and let the water pour out of the second hole)
-generally the know it alls did not read the limitation of liability on their ticket which does bind them. AND. The do not know about the international treaties that also limit their claims.
It probably wasn't fun all the time for people on the ship; especially if they were looking forward to some down time and having fun.
But those folks need to put things in perspective. Stuff happens. Things much worse could have happened to them. They weren't being shot at, no one died, etc...
Sue Algore! He promised you global warming!
We were on Moorea in 2000 when the entire island went on strike. Our package was w/Sofitel (not the greatest, especially considering all the French management and French workers on a subsidized vacation)and the only hotel on the island that was not struck was the American Sheraton. It seems those Americans treated their workers well.
There was no service and no hot food at the French resort during the strike. All communication was by fax to France. Not one person in management was forthcoming with anything, mainly because the time difference meant they had zero guidance from HQ.
The Americans were having a party at the pool and sharing whatever food and drink we had in our rooms, the best of it courtesy of a newly-wed couple who had gratis fruit and champagne and juice. The French were pissed and continued to ignore anyone who wasn't French. The Germans packed their bags and sat like overdressed robots in the heat while we all waited for the bus transfer to the Sheraton.
The Sheraton was far superior to the Sofitel. We were not charged extra for a considerable upgrade in amenities. To make it even better, the Sheraton was on the site we had loved back in 1975 when we first visited Moorea.
An adventure that ended well.
Hmmm...Our orange trees are full, flowers blooming, garden started...Today in Southern California it was about 72 degrees, (a bit chilly for me) sunny, with unlimited visibility and a lazy on-shore Pacific breeze...
I guess cruises, or what I call, floating apartment buildings, might appeal to those forced to live in nasty climates.
Maybe next winter won't be so bad for ya!
You bet and the reason I personally avoid floating amusement parks, jammed with obnoxious tourists.
But I can understand why they might appeal to some factory worker in Ohio in the dead of winter..
I have never been on a cruise myself. My wife wants to take an Alaska cruise, but I am ambivalent.
We've been on 3 Norwegian Cruises with freestyle.
You do have to make reservations for the specialty restaurants, but you can make them the day you want to eat.
You pay a little bit extra ($10 or $20), but not that much. My husband and I would pay for ourselves to eat at the specialty restaurants. I love the French Bistro restaurants on the Norwegian cruises, and have some of the best meals of my life there. We would get so much food: escargot, great soups, great salads, great main meals and great desserts. We would try tons of food because you could as much as you want.
The buffets were good food, but not great. They had made to order pasta, roast beef, and other standard fare. All good, and my kids loved it.
The main dining rooms were sit down affairs. They just took a long time to eat. Some days that worked, and others it didn't. I tried unusal things like a duck asian salad at lunch. I typically tried unusual food that I would never get at home, and I loved it. I thought the Asian choices were always really good. They had steak and lobster, but it wasn't as good as in the specialty restaurants. They also had great souffles and creme brulees for desert!!
LOL! ...You seem angry dale...
Look, if ya want to take your vacation on a floating amusement park, jammed with other obnoxious tourists, feel free dale.
I have no problem with that.
I love the ocean, love going out on a boat and really enjoy salt water fishing...I'm just not into the group tourist thing, be it on land or water.

The quality of Neocolor II Aquarelle Artists' Crayons is universally acknowledged. Their excellent lightfastness, high pigment concentration, and adaptability to a variety of techniques have put them in a class of their own.
Neocolor II Crayons are softer than colored pencils, denser than children's wax crayons, and extremely responsive to a wet brush. Wet and dry techniques can be combined in the same drawing. Because of their strong pigmentation, light colors cover dark colors and vice-versa.
Neocolors are soft enough to smudge with your fingertips, yet much firmer than oil pastels. Scrape off one or more layers of color to create an engraved sgraffito effect. They can also be combined with Caran d'Ache Pablo Colored Pencils. Best of all, they're watersoluble.
Individual Neocolor II Crayons measure 105 mm long × 10 mm diameter (4-1/8" × 5/16").
Creative Art Box
Packed full of colors and charged with creativity, the Neocolor II Creative Box by Caran d'Ache enables artists to work their magic anywhere. This highly original travel set holds an assortment of 15 Neocolor II watersoluble artists' crayons in a distinctive metal box, a travel brush with a water reservoir, and 12 pre-printed FCS-certified watercolor postcards. The cardboard case, inspired by a traditional letter envelope, was decorated by a Caran d'Ache artist. The Creative Box lends itself to original artwork or personalized correspondence. Its compact size allows it to slip easily into a backpack, portfolio, or even a handbag.
Spring Colors, Set of 10
An exclusive selection of 10 colors based on the pastel shades that are essential for expressing creative inspiration in spring. Included in this set are Greens for the fields, leaves, and young shoots, Light Yellows for the return of the sun and the stronger light, and dynamic colors to capture the explosion of flowering trees, fields of poppies, and butterflies. The colors include Bismuth Green, Jade, Light Lemon Yellow, Naples Yellow, Apricot, Salmon Pink, Purple, Manganese Violet, Denim Blue, and Steel Gray.
Wood Box Set of 84
Housed in a beautiful, elegant wood box, this set makes a great gift for professional and amateur artists alike. It includes the same colors as the Set of 84.

These are like adult crayons that are water soluble. They blend so well with watercolors. I like to rub a paintbrush against the sticks to get more pigment. Otherwise you can draw directly on the paper with the sticks to get a fun texture.

By artmob

I am surprised to say I use these all the time. I love how smooth they are when water is added. I am still experimenting with them but it only took using them once and I got right online and ordered the big set.
I would buy this product again.
By none

The product is great. I would purchase this item again. I think your packaging is way too much. It won't even fit in my mail box. I understand that you are just protecting your product, but with less packaging you could maybe cut prices a little.
Can't wait to try these out
By Purple dragonfly

I have seen this demonstrated as a way to paint cloth for quilting. Am planning to try this to see how well it works and compare these to Derwent Intense pencils.
i love this product
By myra

I use this product with my colored pencils, I really love it, its always part of my art
Neocolor II is a water soluble artist crayon made from high quality, lightfast pigments. They are softer than colored pencils and denser than wax crayons. When used on their own, Neocolor II Crayons are smooth drawing instruments great for sketching and filling in large areas. When used with water, they become an intensely vibrant and luminous watercolor paint. They can even be used to draw on glass, metal and other non-porous surfaces. Watch this video to see this unique artist crayon in action.

Film Noir is a genre of movies that usually have the feelings �of negativity, sadness, pessimism, and danger. � �The French coined the phrase to describe American detective stories made in the 1940s-1950s. �I like a good Film Noir, with it's hero working against the odds to figure out who the baddies are, often dealing �with a beautiful femme fatale out for her own preservation and, and lots of �interesting �side characters who add to the plots. �My movie pick, His Kind of Woman is a Film Noir, but with a difference. �It has �some comedy thrown in for an unusual mix, and the comedy is supplied by Vincent Price, the King of Horror films!
Robert Mitchum is the hero of this movie. �He is Dan Milner, �a down on his luck gambler. �He's been approached to live in Mexico for 1 year, and �he'll be paid $50,000 for his troubles, and is given $20,000 to start his journey. � Dan is curious as to who wants him to live in Mexico for a year, thinking it is a pretty weird request. �Since he's currently broke, he decides to do as he's been asked, and takes a flight to his first stop, Nogales, Mexico. �While waiting in the airport bar for his next flight, Dan is happy to listen to a beautiful singer, Lenore Brent(Jane Russell). �Lenore seems irritated by Dan's attention and �manages to keep him at arms length. � Dan is �delighted to find out that Lenore will �be flying on the same plane with him to his final destination, Morro's Lodge, in the Baja region. �Lenore tells Dan that �she is an heiress and a singer and that he doesn't interest her as she has a "friend" she's meeting at Morro's.
Once at Morro's, Dan figures out who Lenore's friend is, movie actor Mark Cardigan(Vincent Price). �Price is an absolute joy to watch in this movie. �He is excellent in his �portrayal of �a hammy, full-of-himself actor who just happens to be a great hunter. �Later on in the movie, he saves Dan's bacon when the bad guy's henchmen show up to kill Dan. �Cardigan also has romance troubles, as his wife shows up at Morro's to tell him that she doesn't want a divorce. �His agent has also come along to tell Cardigan that a divorce could give him negative views in the public's opinion. �Cardigan is adamant at keeping a positive image so he breaks things off with Lenore. �Lenore confesses to Dan that she's not really an heiress but she is a singer, and she �thought a rich husband would give her the ticket to the good life. � Dan is quite ready to show Lenore that a rich husband isn't the be all and end all of life.
The main bad guy in the movie is Nick Ferraro(Raymond Burr-a far cry from his Perry Mason and Ironside days!) �Ferraro is a gangster who had been deported 4 years before. �Living in Italy, he was getting worried about his monetary holdings still in the U.S. and came up with a crazy plot to get back into America: find a guy who is the same height and weight as himself, a guy who is a loner without a family, and with the help of a plastic surgeon, kill the loner guy and have his face surgically put upon Ferraro's face!
This brings about Bill Lusk(Tim Holt) who is able to inform that he is an undercover agent with the Immigration and Naturalization Service. �He tells Dan about Ferraro and that the Service knows the Ferraro is itching to get back into the country and that they think he'd try to disguise himself in some way and that Dan may have been brought to Morro's to be the victim of Ferraro's plans.
There is a minor subplot of an unhappy bride on her honeymoon watching her new husband gambling away their money to a vacationing banker, Myron Winton(Jim Backus-Mr. Thurston Howell III himself!!) Dan steps in and helps the husband regain his lost money and gives the newlyweds �advice to �stay away from the gambling tables.
His Kind of Woman was directed by John Farrow, written by Frank Fenton and Jack Leonard, and produced by Robert Sparks. �It was distributed by RKO Studios, but Howard Hughes, who had taken over the running of RKO in 1948, meddled in the production of His Kind of Woman and after Farrow's work was done, Hughes had director Richard Fleischer re-direct many scenes in the movie! �The film was finished in 1950 but sat on a shelf until it's release in August of 1951. �Despite Hughes's fiddling with the film, it was a box office hit for RKO. � His Kind of Woman is available at Amazon. �It is available as a single dvd or in a dvd set with 3 other Film Noirs.
With Russell and Mitchum as the movie's center, a puzzle of a plot, action, and the fun that Vincent Price brings to his role, His Kind of Woman is an unusual Film Noir, worth a viewing, and it's one of my favorites. �Here's a trailer that audiences would have seen in 1951 for advertising purposes for His Kind of Woman.

In Germany there is a big revival of interest in Lucas Cranach as an artist. You have got to see this video based on an exhibit in Weimar. It includes remarkable closeups of Cranach's famous altarpiece in the Weimar church, the one with the artist's self-portrait inserted into a Crucifixion scene, with Christ's blood–thanks to Luther's preaching and what happens in Holy Communion at this altar–arcing onto the artist's head.
See the video after the jump. It's in German, but that doesn't matter! (Those of you who understand German, please tell us some of the points made in the video.) [Read more…]

Cabo da Roca Things to Do
Cabo da Roca Lighthouse
Apparently it had been thought that Cabo Finisterre and Cabo de São Vicente were the "endpoints of Europe", but actually it has now been decided that Cabo da Roca (at 9° 29.8' W) is the real westernmost point of the Eurasian continent. It is 15 km west of Cabo Finisterre.On this cape is a lighthouse which is geographically significant (as the...more
The lighthouse
On the cape there is a lighthouse completed in 1772, but modified in 1843. The square shaped tower is 22 metres high and the light from the lantern can be seen 25 nautical miles away at night. The lantern is red and the tower is painted white with grey details. The surrounding buildings are white with orange terracotta roof. The lighthouse is still...more
Pose for Photographs at the Monument
Most people visiting Cabo da Roca can't resist posing against the Crucifix Monument for their photo! For our VT Euromeet 2009 group shot, we were all looking towards this landmark. (see my travelogues below for group pics) A plaque was added to the monument in 1979 (see pic 3) by the Municipal Office of Sintra. Above the Sintra coat of Arms, are...more

Cabo da Roca Restaurants
Café/Restaurant at Cabo da Roca
In the basement of the souvenir shop there is a café/restaurant. I visited Cabo da Roca for an hour and after walking around in the rain and wind it was good to come inside for a while. I bought a hot chocolate with whipped cream for 1.90 Euro (March 2010). I brought it to a table where I had nice view over the rocks and ocean below, but I didn't...more
Drinks and Pastries al fresco
There is a Restaurant/bar at Cabo da Roca, (pic 4) but I didn't go in there, so not sure of their menu or prices.Instead, I enjoyed tasting a few of the local ports that Antonio and Teresa had provided for a toast after the group photos. I nearly missed out, because I'd wandered off to purchase my certificate from the Tourist Info office.While we'd...more

There is a good selfservice-restaurant in the basement of the souvenirshop and it has a great view over some cliffs as well.

Cabo da Roca Shopping
Cabo da Roca: tiles and other interesting souvenirs
This is certainly not the cheapest shop to buy tiles as a souvenir, but in many cases the tourists will not have enough time to search somewhere else, so that might be a good idea to buy some tiles there.
When you enlarge my last picture, you will see the price of the big tiles-combination shown in my 1 st pisture : the price is 1296,- euros !
What to buy: You will get there tiles in all sizes and porcelain, books, postcards and Portwine.Related to:

The big day is finally here (almost). The Smartlink Day of Rivals is set to face off on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. ET at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. Army-Navy is the first game. Johns Hopkins-Maryland is next, at 2 p.m. ET. Both games will be televised live on ESPNU.
Here is a primer on the two matchups.
Army versus Navy
When: Saturday, 11:30 a.m. ET
Records: Black Knights 5-6, 1-3 Patriot League; Midshipmen 8-3, 3-2.
TV: ESPNU, live
Series record: Navy leads 56-27-3
Initial success
Army sophomore G Tom Palesky and Navy senior G Tommy Phelan are similar in that each is a starting goalie with the initials 'TP' and that's about it. Palesky is 6-foot-3 and a good athlete in and out of the cage. He's from Plano, Texas, and might be the first Division I starting goalie from that state.
Phelan is 5-9, 162. He's from Loyola (Md.) in the MIAA and has seen a high level of lacrosse since his days as a ballboy at Johns Hopkins games in the late-1990s. He's the lacrosse blueblood. Palesky is the new kid on the block.
Yet, each has been effective. Palesky has seen 393 shots and has saved 62.3 percent. He has made double-digit saves in all but two games (Air Force and Virginia Military). He had 22 saves against Cornell and 18 against Hofstra.
Phelan has set a career-high in each of the past two weeks. His 15 saves at Georgetown tied the most for a Navy goalie in the series since Mickey Jarboe had 23 saves in 1999. In the following game, Phelan made 16 saves -- the most for a Navy goalie against Maryland since Jarboe had 17, also in 1999.
"Phelan is making a high number of saves that you don't usually see from Navy goalies," Army coach Joe Alberici says. "They usually don't have a high number of saves because historically they try and limit shots."
More than an Army of one
Army's defense has more to offer than Palesky. Sophomore Bill Henderson should be given a vote for the Tewaaraton Trophy: He has seen the top players up close and personal. This year, he has defended Syracuse attackman Kenny Nims, Cornell midfielder Max Seibald, Bryant attackman Zack Greer and Colgate attackman Brandon Corp, among others.
Junior Kevin Woodcheke is the crease defenseman. The third spot has been rotated between senior Scott Rosenshein and junior Sam Harrison; Rosenshein missed three games with a hamstring injury but is back in the lineup.
And freshman LSM Tim Henderson -- Bill's brother and an Under Armour All-American in 2007 -- is coming off his best game. He held Bucknell freshman MF Charlie Streep to one goal on five shots last week.
With or without Paul
Navy junior attackman Tim Paul, the team leader in goals and assists, is questionable to play after he injured his ankle early in the third quarter against Maryland last Friday. (Check back with IL.com later on Friday for an update on his injury from Navy's practice at M&T Bank Stadium.)
Paul left the Maryland game for good with his team leading 3-2. In his absence, the Midshipmen outscored Maryland 7-2. Freshman Ryan O'Leary (St. Anthony's, N.Y.) appeared to be Navy's secret weapon for that game.
After Paul went down, O'Leary entered the game on the first and second midfields. His role? Invert, i.e. go behind the goal and start the offense from there against a shortstick defender. Navy coach Richie Meade said after the game that Maryland had struggled against inverts all year, and O'Leary, a converted attackman, took advantage.
O'Leary and senior Bruce Nechanicky keyed the clinching 7-2 run. Nechanicky scored three goals in the second half, all after Paul left the game.
In Navy's defense
The Midshipmen have used a high number of starting defenders this year. The starting unit for the season opener was three seniors: Andy Tormey, Thomas Zimmerman and Jake Brosnan.
The starting unit for Maryland was Tormey, freshman Matt Vernam (Shoreham-Wading River, N.Y.) and sophomore Tom Mansfield. In between, promising sophomore Michael Hirsch started the Georgetown game but was lost for the year to a knee injury in practice last Wednesday.
Zimmerman and Brosnan have lost their starting spots, but each has found a new home: Helping to key the man-down defense.
Army's offense
The pressure will be on the Black Knights to control the ball and pick their spots in transition. They scored three goals in transition against Phelan and Navy in a 9-6 victory last year. Their other goals were varied: Three came from the right wing, two from the middle of the field and one from the left wing.
Overall, however, the Black Knights have not scored more than 10 goals in the series since 2003.
Johns Hopkins versus Maryland
When: Saturday, 2 p.m., M&T Bank Stadium
Records: Bue Jays 4-4, Terrapins 6-4
TV: ESPNU, live
Series record: Johns Hopkins leads, 64-37-1.
Ready for big time
Saturday's game will be the first time Hopkins and Maryland have faced each other in an NFL stadium since the 1973 NCAA final. That game was played at Franklin Field, one-time home of the Philadelphia Eagles. To prepare for that game, which was played on artificial turf, the Terrapins practiced twice on the turf at Redskins Park.
Maryland won, 10-9, in double overtime.
Family ties
Speaking of Maryland's NCAA titles, a number of players from Maryland's last title team -- in 1975 -- have sons currently played Division I lacrosse. There is a chance that two of those sons will go head-to-head on Saturday.
Johns Hopkins junior attackman Chris Boland (team-high 18 goals) might face Maryland junior goalie Brian Phipps (.575 save percentage). (It is uncertain if Phipps or senior Jason Carter will start.)
Boland's father, Kevin Boland, was a teammate at Maryland with Phipps's father, Wilson Phipps, in 1976 and 1977.
Middle of nowhere
Maryland's midfielders went 0-for-12 shooting last week against Navy. The unit's only point was an assist from sophomore Travis Reed, and he is a converted attackman.
The unit's struggles have led opposing teams to focus heavily on sophomore attackman Grant Catalino (18 goals, 15 assists). Catalino is one of the most accurate shooters in D-I but, because of the attention defenses are paying him with the midfield struggling, he is 0-for-15 shooting dating from the third quarter of a victory over North Carolina on March 21.
Or, more pointedly, he has not scored a goal in 166 minutes 14 seconds. His breakout game is coming; Catalino is too good to remain without a goal much longer. Hopkins fans had better hope it does not happen Saturday.
Scoreboard watching
The Blue Jays are scoring a lot of goals this year. To wit: The 15 goals against Virginia on March 28 were their most in that series since 1999. By way of comparison, Johns Hopkins scored 15 goals against the Cavaliers in 2003 -- but it took two games, not one, to get there.
The attackmen -- Boland, sophomore Kyle Wharton (17 goals, 8 assists) and junior Steven Boyle (14, 9) -- are initiating a lot of the offense after the midfield-heavy offensive approaches of recent years.
But Johns Hopkins had better not get complacent. Each of the sport's other established powers -- Syracuse, Virginia and Princeton -- has missed the NCAA tournament at least once since 2004. A loss on Saturday and a loss to Navy on April 18 would mean the Blue Jays would have to win their remaining games to finish above .500 and be eligible for the NCAA tournament.
Johns Hopkins has qualified for the tournament a record 36 consecutive years. Similarly slow starts in 2007 and 2008 were negated by the star power, and will power, of midfielders Stephen Peyser and Paul Rabil.
Can the Blue Jays continue to pull rabbits out of the hat without those two?

|Zoë Bell stars in "Angel of Death"
New Zealand-born actress Zoë Bell began her career as a stuntwoman, working as a double for Lucy Lawless on âXena: Warrior Princess.â She followed that up by doubling for Uma Thurman in âKill Bill,â and her first major acting role came in Quentin Tarantinoâs âDeath Proof.â She later briefly appeared as Regina, a member of the Kahanaâs crew, on TVâs âLost.â But now Bell has been given the opportunity to star in her own film, entitled âAngel of Death.â
Published in installments on Sony's Crackle.com since March 2 and ending on March 13, âAngel of Deathâ stars Bell as an assassin named Eve whoâs stabbed in the head. She suffers severe brain trauma, begins to hallucinate, and becomes haunted by her victims, forcing Eve to seek revenge on the Mob employers who ordered those hits in the first place.
âAngel of Deathâ was written as a vehicle for Bell by comic book scribe Ed Brubaker (âCaptain America,â âCriminalâ) and also stars Lucy Lawless (âXena: Warrior Princess,â âBattlestar Galacticaâ), Ted Raimi (âSpider-Man 2,â âDarkmanâ) and Doug Jones (âPanâs Labyrinth,â Hellboy II: The Golden Army.â)
Zoë Bell took a moment to talk to CBR News about her new film, acting opposite Lucy Lawless, the pressure of starring in her own movie, and what itâs like working with Quentin Tarantino.
CBR: How did you get involved in âAngel of Death?â
Zoë Bell: My manager at the time and I had been in conversations with Sony about doing a bunch of online-type stuff. It was all a bit vague but they got back to us about a year later. There was a basic breakdown of Eve and her character and something about it just intrigued me. I canât even remember what it was but I was just like, âOh, that would be fun. I want you to respond to that one.â Then I came in for a meeting with a bunch of the guys, Paul [Etheredge] the director, John Norris our Producer and Ed [Brubaker] was on speakerphone in the room. They all just seemed patient and they all had a similar idea of what they wanted and it excited me. They were equally excited about me as they were about Ed and as much as Ed was about me and I was about Ed. We were like, âReally, are we all this happy to be in the same room? Thatâs weird, lets make a movie.â
|Scene from "Angel of Death"
Were you familiar with Brubaker and his comic book work previous to being cast in the film?
I wasnât really but they sent me a bunch of stuff before hand. More for me, I was excited by his presence in this world. Iâm not a comic book geek. Iâm not and Iâm kind of embarrassed to say it, I wish I were a comic book geek. Iâm definitely far more educated [on the subject of comics] than I was when I first got here. But the fact that someone who was so raved about wanted to rave about me was pretty exciting stuff. But that was it. It just felt right. It just felt like everyone wanted to do it and I knew it would be an incredibly awesome challenge for me and thatâs what I wanted. I hadnât had that in awhile
What was your reaction when they told you this would be an Internet project?
I thought the concept was interesting, but to be honest, I didnât really understand what that meant. People would say, âWhat does that mean?â Fuck if I know? I didnât have a clue but I loved the script and I loved the people that were involved. To be honest, for me if Iâm going to start acting -- you know, Iâve been a stuntwomen for so many years, so stunting for me was like, if the coordinator is someone I want to work with or if the work that is required of me, the action is cool then those are the jobs I want to be doing. Itâs the same with acting. If the team that is involved, the writer and director are fascinating to me, than I want to work with those guys, you know? If the work itself is fascinating, the character is stunning or the script, even if itâs a little character, than thatâs what I want to do. I donât give a shit if itâs on the Internet, TV or the big screen. It sounds cliché but thatâs not really why Iâm doing this.
This is your first lead acting role in a movie. What was that like for you and were you nervous at all?
|Scene from "Angel of Death"
Scary! If I suck, then this whole project will suck. I mean, I remember thinking that a bit about âDeath Proof.â I wasnât playing myself because I donât ride on cars but Quentin [Tarantino] wrote it so Iâm like the âQuentinizedâ version of myself. I wasnât really given enough time to think about it like that. It was just like, âThis is it. Youâre doing it, okay?â This one was like, Iâm not an assassin, my Mother was not a whore, my Dad did not teach me weaponry, Iâve never lost my mind and Iâve never seen dead people, so this is as different from my life as can be. I did a lot of research. I tried to think what it would be like if you were losing the persona that you used to be sane. Maybe itâs like an alcoholic becoming sober? Day to day it didnât scare me because I was working and doing my job. Itâs not until now that I start shitting my pants.
You were Lucy Lawlessâ double on âXena: Warrior Princess.â What was it like acting opposite her in this project as opposed to essentially playing her on the show?
It was pretty cool, yeah. They wrote in a role for Lucy and wanted her to be involved. I never asked her outright but I get the feeling that she was just doing me a favor. I mean, there are a lot of people in her position, and weâve always been fairly tight you know, we really like each other but thereâs a lot of people that may not have wanted to have done that as a favor. I just think it was really a fucking sweet gesture on her behalf and it was so fun working with her on set.
But yeah, it was completely bizarre and yet it didnât feel that bizarre, it felt very natural. Obviously, weâre comfortable with each other on set, weâre used to being around each other. But to be sitting opposite her doing lines was like, âWow.â And at one point she said to me, âZoë Zoë (thatâs what she calls me) this is not our characters, this is me and you, this is Lucy and Zoë Zoë, weâre right here.â I was like, âThis is awesome. Lucy Lawless is giving me acting lessons.â It was a real moment.
What was it like working with your other âXena: Warrior Princessâ cast member, Ted Raimi, and also Doug Jones on this project?
I love Doug Jones and working with Ted again. Ted was there on my first day and thank God he was because internally I was a bit of a mess. But having him, a familiar face, around was good. Doug Jones just cracked me up continuously. I just wanted to hang out with him all the time. I was just like, âSit by me and say stuff.â They were all so supportive of me and so excited on my behalf, not giving me room to fuck it up, feel sorry for myself or get lost. It was great.
|Scene from "Angel of Death"
How did you get the part in Quentin Tarantinoâs âDeath Proof,â which helped launch your acting career?
âKill Billâ is where it started. Thereâs also a documentary called âDouble Dareâ that Quentin had seen. He told me that heâd shown people the documentary and they responded to me on camera or my character. His whole point was that he wanted my character in a movie. But I was like, âItâs not a character, bro, itâs me. Nobodyâs scripting this.â He said, âOh, yeah? Watch me.â Thatâs how that came about. I really look forward to working with him again. I wanted to be in âInglorious Bastardsâ but Iâm not a guy and I donât speak two other languages. âDamn it. If only I had been born a man.â
Finally, a lot of your fans were really excited when they heard you were going to be on âLost.â What was that experience like for you and did you enjoy working on the show?
My part was so tiny. Initially, it was going to be a small role and I wasnât going to do the episode. We always knew it was going to be a small part and I had reservations about doing it. They contacted my manager and he was stoked. I was stoked but part of me thought, âMaybe I should hold out for a bigger part?â Ultimately in the end I got to work with Jeff Fahey (âLawnmower Manâ) who is one of my favorites, surf in my down time, live in Hawaii for a week, get paid and meet incredible people. And everybody on that set was so nice, well they do live in Hawaii, but I walked off that set and I just wanted to work with those guys again. So you never know?
âAngel Of Deathâ is now playing on Sony TVâs Crackle.com with the finale premiering this Friday, March 13.
