Lewis Hamilton blazed to his seventh pole position of the season in his final race for McLaren Mercedes in qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix this afternoon. The McLaren MP4-27 was the car to have in Interlagos as Jenson Button was just shy of Hamilton to qualify second and lock out the front row.
The Red Bulls were close to McLaren at the top and it was Mark Webber who was the faster car in third, ahead of teammate Sebastian Vettel. However, championship leader Vettel will not be overly disappointed as he is four places ahead of rival Fernando Alonso, who could only manage an 8th fastest time.
Alonso qualified behind teammate Felipe Massa, the Brazilian notching up a strong 5th on the grid at his home race.
If the race finishes in the qualifying order, Vettel would clinch the title comfortably and McLaren would overtake Ferrari to second in the constructors' standings. But with overnight thunderstorms and rain forecast tomorrow, the race could well be a lottery and the outcome unpredictable.
Session 1
The opening session began in damp but drying conditions on parts of the track following a rain shower 30 minutes prior to the session.
The runners, especially the 'new' teams were keen to go out with a queue of cars lining up at the pit-lane exit headed by the Caterham of Heikki Kovalainen on slick medium compound tyres. After the light went green, Narain Karthikeyan had an excursion off track in the HRT at the exit of Turn 4, demonstrating the level of grip in that section. The crowds were entertained as Marussia's Timo Glock and Kovalainen battled wheel-to-wheel slipping and sliding all the way from Juncao through to Turn 1. Meanwhile the Sauber of Kamui Kobayashi set the initial tentative fastest time as more cars began coming out.
Among those cars the Force India of Nico Hulkenberg was the first to venture out experimenting on the green-walled intermediate tyres. The German was slow through the first part of the lap which was too dry for the grooved rubber and immediately went back into the pits. Williams' Pastor Maldonado then went top of the sheets on the dry hard tyres as the times continued to fall.
Fernando Alonso stepped out of the pits with 9 minutes remaining in the session, his engineer relaying instructions for 7 laps on that stint. He traded fastest laps with the McLaren of Lewis Hamilton as teammate Felipe Massa went third. Track conditions were improving steadily and multiple drivers had time at the top briefly as lap-times tumbled.
Among all the action Romain Grosjean was blocked by Pedro de la Rosa's HRT at the exit of Turn 15, banging his left front tyre with the Armco and eventually losing his front wing as he carried on. The Frenchman came in to have a rapid nose change. At this point Hamilton was in P1 with a comfortable cushion over Bruno Senna's Williams. He went faster still as the chequered flag fell, and Grosjean just managed to claw his way outside the drop zone, but with Daniel Ricciardo behind him going faster was bumped back into 18th and was the first car to be eliminated.
Championship contenders Vettel and Alonso were fifth and tenth respectively in that session.
Out in Q1- 18. Grosjean 19. Petrov 20. Kovalainen 21. Glock 22. Pic 23. Karthikeyan 24. de la Rosa
Session 2
As the middle session began, the top teams stayed in the pits initially with the exception of the Ferraris, who went out on hard tyres on a track which now had a clear dry line in the previously wet sector 3. Alonso went fastest ahead of the midfield runners also setting times. The Force Indias were looking strong with Hulkenberg in provisional P2 behind the Ferrari.
The sun came out on the pit straight five minutes into the session while the Red Bulls and McLarens waited in the pits. Massa now went second and all runners came into the pits after their first stints. Hamilton, Vettel and Webber now began their out-laps, Vettel told to do 4 timed laps on his radio. The McLaren was the first car in the 1:13s to go fastest with his first tour. That time was soon beaten by Vettel aided by a tow from Massa's Ferrari in the final curved 'straight'. Button went third fastest just shy of his teammate.
In the dying seconds of the session, Massa was in the drop zone in 12th as he began his final effort. His lap was good enough only for a P10, but he survived with Michael Schumacher and Senna unable to improve on their times behind him. Alonso was just ahead in ninth place.
Curiously, Maldonado failed to stop for a weight check at the end of the session and drove straight past the FIA garage at the beginning of the pit-lane. He could be penalised for the incident post-qualifying.
Out in Q2- 11. di Resta 12. Senna 13. Perez 14. Schumacher 15. Kobayashi 16. Ricciardo 17. Vergne
Session 3
Glorious sunshine greeted the start of the final session, with the track temperature up to 34 degrees. Nico Rosberg was the sole driver out early. He was soon joined on track by Hamilton and Alonso. The Briton raised the bar with a 1:12.850 time, ahead of the Spaniard.
Massa, Webber and Button then went successively second, with Vettel going only P6 on his first timed lap. He had made an error at Turn 4 where the Red Bull went slightly wide off-track. Cars then came in for fresh tyres for their second run.
Meanwhile, Hulkenberg went fourth fastest ahead of both Ferraris. Lotus' Kimi Raikkonen then split the Ferraris to go P6 with his first effort.
In the final minute, Webber was fastest in the first two sectors to take the provisional pole with a 1:12.581 time. Hamilton though beat the Australian's time by a tenth with a 1:12.458 to go on top, as Vettel behind him could go only P3, only to be dropped another place by Button going second, a mere 5 hundredths slower than Hamilton.
So it was to be a McLaren and Red Bull lock out of the first two rows, while Massa improved on his final lap to go P5. Maldonado and Hulkenberg separated the Ferraris with Alonso down in 8th place, ahead of Raikkonen and Rosberg.

Publius Silius Nerva
Publius Silius Nerva was a Roman politician and general who was consul in 20 BC.
Nerva was the son of a senator who had achieved the rank of propraetor.[1] A partisan of the emperor Augustus,[2] Nerva was rewarded with a number of important postings throughout his career.
Having risen through the ranks of the cursus honorum, he was awarded the consulate in 20 BC alongside Marcus Appuleius, becoming one of the many homines novi ennobled during Augustus's Principate.[3]
After his consulate he was posted to Hispania Citerior in 19 BC as legatus, where he was involved in the ongoing Cantabrian Wars, helping Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa finally end the long and bloody campaign.[4] Following this he was posted to Illyricum where he was legate from 17 to 16 BC.[5]
Nerva had three sons, all consular:[6] Aulus Licinius Nerva Silianus (Consul AD 7),[7] Publius Silius (Consul suffectus AD 3) and Gaius Silius (Consul AD 13).

Sarasota philanthropist Jean Hendry dies at 89
Published: Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at 4:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at 4:15 p.m.
SARASOTA - Alice Allen and her husband, Gene, ran into Jean Purcell Hendry, literally, at St. Armands Circle in 1988. No sooner had Hendry swung the driver-side door of her Lincoln Town Car into traffic, than — bang — they were acquainted.
But instead of stressing out while waiting for police to arrive, Alice and Gene began a friendship with the colorful Sarasota philanthropist that lasted until Hendry's death last week at age 89.
"She was one of a kind, I'll tell you that," recalls Allen. "She was very opinionated and outspoken, but she would also listen. And sometimes she could even be persuaded."
A long-time volunteer gift-shop fixture at Mote Marine Laboratory, to which she contributed $3 million, Hendry was a major supporter of Circus Sarasota, the Sarasota Yacht Club, the Fine Arts Society of Sarasota and the Community Video Archives.
Her late husband, Russell, belonged to the Florida pioneer family for whom Hendry County is named. Together, she and Russell turned now-defunct Hendry Furniture into one of Sarasota's most successful businesses.
"She had a reputation as a tough lady, but she had a heart of gold," says Kumar Mahadevan, Mote President and CEO. "When she was our gift shop manager, she stayed there all the time, she was there every day. And she was a strong donor to all our events."
Bridge player, Red Hat Society member and animal lover, Hendry recently celebrated her 55th year as a Sarasota Yacht Club member, where she enjoyed vodka on the rocks during Friday afternoon happy hours. A stickler for sartorial decorum, "she didn't much cotton to casual dress codes in one of our dining rooms," says Kay Goodman, a former Yacht Club Commodore.
"Jean was lovely and elegant and always dressed to the nines," Goodman adds. "No one looked prettier on oxygen than she did. Even though she had a tube in her nose, she managed to run it along the side of her glasses so you barely noticed it, and with her makeup she was always just perfect."
Allen, who wound up becoming Hendry's next-door neighbor in Lido Shores, described her "fiercely independent" friend of 23 years as "very, very disappointed" when she recently flunked her driver's test for the fifth time.
"You see all kinds of people in the driver's license office, and she was like an alien in there," Allen remembers. "She'd have a nice hat and earrings and usually a lapel pin — it was all about style with Jean."
That extended to Circus Sarasota, where Hendry briefly became a ringmaster three years ago by donning a red jacket and top hat, and introduced the featured acts by blowing a whistle. "We loved Jean and I'm so very glad I got to know her," says Circus Sarasota philanthropic liaison Jennifer Gemmeke. "She had a naughty, wonderful sense of humor."
Hendry checked into Sarasota Memorial Hospital last Tuesday during a rough episode with her chronic bronchial problems, according to Allen, and never came out. Hendry is survived by her brother, Henry Purcell, of Tampa.
Mote Marine is handling memorial services, but details are pending. "She told me she'd like her ashes to be put in the Eternal Reefs so she can live with the fishes," says Mahadevan. "We're researching it."

Ahoy, mateys! It's that time of year, again! I had a hard time sleeping last night because of all the excitement the next morning would bring. I laid my outfit for the next day on the floor and hid my eye patch from my cat in the pocket of my skull and cross-bones vest pocket (she LOVES to chew on the elastic band that holds the patch to my head).
I sprung out of bed 6 minutes before my alarm went off, frightened the sleep out of my husband with a loud "YARRRRRG!" and jumped into my pirate garb! I popped my eye patch on and got into work early enough to be the first to greet my boss. "Ahoy! Ye scurvy-infested wench!"
On most days and with most bosses, a greeting of this nature is probably not acceptable, but if the urge is strong and runs deep within your soul, you'd better do it today. International Talk Like A Pirate Day is the coolest holiday there is. Move over Flag Day; get the heck out the way Thanksgiving. Aye, International Talk
Like A Pirate Day makes all the other holidays walk the plank of disappointment. This holiday has an attitude and ye best be prepared for pirate-speak, lest ye find ye'self in ol' Davy Jones' Locker.
And who do we owe our booty to fer creating this rum-filled holiday? Why, who else but one our very own Lulu authors and his pirate cohort! A few days ago I had the extreme pleasure of talking with one of the co-founders of International Talk Like A Pirate Day, John 'Ol' Chumbucket' Baur, via email. Sit down, grab some rum and take a listen, wont ye? Arrrrr!!!
Ahoy, scallywag! Thank ye for doing thiser here interview with me. I be understanding these be very busy times for a buccaneer of ye stature, and I owe ye all the doubloons in the sea fer taking the time to jabber. I be asking ye a few questions about thiser here holiday to let the folks out there on the open seas know a little bit more about ye. Yaaarg!
So tell me, me friend, how did ye create "International Talk Like A Pirate Day?"
The whole story is on our Web site, www.talklikeapirate.com.
Here's the reader's digest version.
My friend, Mark Summers, and I were playing racquetball when one of us – there's no remembering who now – reached a little too far for a shot and let out an "Aarrr!" Well, as you might expect with "guys," we started insulting each other in pirate talk. When we finished we realized we'd had more fun than we ever had before, so much so that we never play racquetball anymore, we just talk like pirates. We realized the entire world – every man, woman and child on the planet – needed one day a year when they were allowed, even encouraged, to talk like pirates, just for the sheer, anarchic fun of it.
Did ye scallywags expect the world would embrace Talk Like A Pirate Day as much as it has?
We had no expectations whatsoever; basically this is a very silly private joke among a couple of friends that has grown into a private joke shared by a few million friends all over the world. We're just riding the wave.
What brought ye to Lulu? Have ye made much gold here?
We had been writing a blog story and our Web Wench mentioned that we could get it printed at Lulu. We put it up there. And the children's book (A Li'l Pirates ABSeas), which no responsible person would buy for a child. It depends on what you mean by success. Have we sold thousands and thousands of books? No. But we've made beer money, and the fans that've wanted copies of the Tales of the Festering Boil have been able to get them.
What projects are ye buccaneers working on now and when will they be released?
Our new book is out from Kensington – "The Pirate Life: Unleashing Your Inner Buccaneer." It's the ultimate self-help book (results may vary; consult your physician.) We're working on another Festering Boil tale that will be on Lulu, and there's some other writing stuff going on that we can't quite announce yet. Soon, but not yet.
Right-o me friend! I will be looking forward to trading me riches for a copy of them there books. It will be a good trade, as I know fer sure me life will be greatly enriched be ye wise words. Do ye have any closing remarks for the people out there on the open seas?
We just want people to have fun with our idea. Let yer hair down, swagger, and say "Aarrr!" Talk Like a Pirate!

Twenty-eight bicyclists rolled down the new crossing over Highway 237 in Sunnyvale on a gorgeous Wednesday, pumping fists in the air and ringing bells in celebration.
The spandex-clad riders were celebrating the opening of a new bicycle-pedestrian bridge here and another a half-mile south over Highway 101 at Borregas Avenue. But they could have been celebrating more: They ride in what has become the most bike-friendly county in the Bay Area, and Wednesday's event kicked off an unprecedented $40 million worth of improvements stretching from Cupertino to Santa Clara to San Jose.
Next week, a one-of-a-kind overpass will open across Interstate 280 in Cupertino, followed in June by the opening of another bridge over Moffett Boulevard near Highway 85 in Mountain View. Then in the summer, three underpasses in Santa Clara will be ready for riders on the San Tomas Aquino Creek Trail.
And by Labor Day, work should be under way on extending the bike path along the Guadalupe River from Woz Way to Virginia Street, opening up the downtown San Jose river park to surrounding neighborhoods and improving a popular commute route from South San Jose to job sites in North San Jose.
"By far, we have the best bike plans in the Bay Area," said Chris Augenstein, a deputy director of planning with the Valley Transportation Authority. "We think it's just good planning."
That's no empty boast, said John Goodwin of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
"If the yardstick for measuring investments in bicycling improvements is the dollars committed by each county," Goodwin said, "one can make a strong case for Santa Clara County as the Bay Area leader."
But the county's improvements are just a start. The VTA has earmarked $160 million for bike and pedestrian improvements over the next 25 years in Santa Clara County, compared with its last big infusion of $30 million set aside nine years ago. And the MTC says it will spend $1 billion on such improvements over the same period throughout the nine Bay Area counties, five times the amount it planned a few years ago.
2,000 users a day
Why this infusion of cash? Gas prices approaching $5 a gallon in summer last year, our warm year-round weather, and the push to get people out of their cars to reduce global warming are all factors.
More than 2,000 bikers and pedestrians a day are expected to take advantage of the two new spans in Sunnyvale. Similar numbers are anticipated at other crossings.
"I saw that the San Tomas trail is almost ready when I drove by the other day," said Katie Grimes of Santa Clara, who longs to get out of her 1997 Grand Voyager minivan if she can count on a safe route to ride her Breezer three-speed, a European-style bike. "Yay! The more bike paths there are that are separate from roads, especially the high-speed ones, the better it will be."
The most visible — and most expensive — new addition is the 500-foot-long, 16-foot-wide bridge linking Mary Avenue between Cupertino and Sunnyvale over I-280. It cost nearly $15 million and will be the lone bicycle bridge running over a state freeway held up only by cables — 44 of them that connect to white, almost diamond-shaped, 90-foot, 65-ton steel towers on each end.
"This is the gold standard for bike projects," Augenstein said. "Usually, cities are so strapped for dollars and beauty gets sacrificed. But this design couldn't be more beautiful."
Future projects
Pat Parseghian is looking forward to the improvements coming to the Stevens Creek Trail, which will improve her commute from Los Gatos to her job at Google. That's now a 40-minute trip involving worrisome crossings at busy streets like Stelling and Homestead roads.
"I'm also eager for the opening of the new bridge over Moffett Boulevard," said Parseghian, who bicycles about 3,000 miles a year, saying it "will eliminate another treacherous intersection for cyclists and allow motorists to flow more smoothly."
Want more? The Silicon Valley Leadership Group is lobbying Washington for $30.3 million in stimulus funds for bicycle projects that could be under construction within a year. Capitol Expressway, Monterey Highway, Rengstorff Avenue and Alum Rock Avenue are all on this list.
The extra millions being spent may seem like a lot, but the $1 billion set aside for bike and pedestrian improvements regionwide is a small fraction of the $218 billion allocated for all transportation needs from highways to trains to bus lines over the next 25 years.
It's money well spent, said Rich Ellson, who works nearby at Labcyte and biked over to the Sunnyvale event. He no longer will have to navigate through the dangerous intersection at nearby Mathilda Avenue, known as the "Mathilda Monster," and can count on a safer route to ride.
"Drivers are not always paying attention," he said. "They are looking to merge and not looking for someone on their bike. I'd much rather come over on a more protected route."
No debate there.

Tracking the Storm: Analysis
In the week ahead, we'll see if this win has any lasting effects on the team. But tonight, the Canes came out with exactly the game they needed – a hard-fought, gritty effort. The game was chippy early on, and Pittsburgh stormed back to tie the game in the third. But unlike the past few games, the Canes had that all-important bounce back. "As a group, we showed a lot of character. We fought hard and got it back," Eric Staal said. Speaking of Staal, the Canes' captain found the back of the net at even strength for the first time this season. That goal turned out to be the game-winner. He also assisted on Chad LaRose's goal that sealed the deal for the Canes late. All of this happened with him on the wing, a new look that Paul Maurice put together before the game. "I felt OK on the wing," Staal said. "It was a little bit of an adjustment. Watching Skinner do it in the first and second, I kind of figured it out in the third." Cam Ward made faced 40 shots from the Penguins tonight, 17 of which came in the final frame. Perfect for just over two periods, he made 37 saves in the game. Even after Pittsburgh tied the game in the third period, Ward stood tall and made some key saves late, especially the one on Evgeni Malkin, who broke in uncontested with the game tied 3-3. Had he scored there, the end result might have been different. The "Finns and Skins" line was productive tonight, as they combined for 7 points. Jeff Skinner had 3 points (1g, 2a), while Tuomo Ruutu (2g) and Jussi Jokinen (2a) had 2 points each. That line seems to have some great chemistry. "I think we're all a little different, and we complement each other," Ruutu said. "Skinner can make a play out of nothing. Juice is a smart player and good defensively. I think he's one of the best passers in the whole league." With a win against one of the elite in the NHL under their belt, the Canes will look to continue that when the Philadelphia Flyers come to town on Monday. "It was a gutsy win, and we want to make sure we carry this forward," Staal said.

Game Summary
Recap (Associated Press)
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Eric Staal kept his focus after his apparent breakaway goal was waived off early in the third period.
The result was a big victory for the Carolina Hurricanes.
Staal scored for the first time in a month and the Hurricanes beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-3 on Saturday night.
Staal converted a rebound at 15:26 in the third, smacking it past Brent Johnson to give the Hurricanes a 4-3 lead after they wasted a three-goal advantage. It was Staal's fourth goal of the season and first since Oct. 18.
He appeared to snap his drought earlier in the period, but the official had a quick whistle and blew the play dead before the puck crossed the goal line.
"You can feel sorry for yourself or you can go out next shift and do your best," Staal said. "I felt like I did that, and I was I rewarded, which was nice."
Chad LaRose added a breakaway score with 2:30 left.
Jeff Skinner had a goal and two assists and Tuomo Ruutu had two goals for the Hurricanes, who led 3-0 lead after two periods and snapped a four-game slide. Cam Ward had 37 saves.
Jordan Staal, Eric's brother, scored two goals and Chris Kunitz added another to help the Penguins rally in the third. Johnson made 21 stops while starting in place of Marc-Andre Fleury.
"We had made one or two mistakes that allowed them to get some goals there in the second period, but we still felt like we had the potential to come back," Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said.
Ward was particularly sharp in the first two periods, turning aside a flurry of quality opportunities from the Penguins. He stopped Evgeni Malkin on a partial breakaway, Kunitz on a rebound opportunity in front and James Neal on a 2-on-1 with a nice glove save.
"He earned first star tonight," Bylsma said.
Eric Staal admitted afterward he was motivated by the play of his brother, who sparked the Penguins' rally by scoring twice early in the third.
The first came on a one-timer in the slot while the second came on a short-handed breakaway. Staal feathered the puck between Ward's legs and pumped his fist to the delight of the Pittsburgh fans in attendance.
Their roars got louder when Kunitz beat Ward on a wrist shot to tie the score at 3 with 7:42 remaining.
But Eric Staal prevented another difficult loss for Carolina.
"It's great to see Eric cash in with that goal," Ward said. "He's worked extremely hard. It's just a matter of time. He's too good."
NOTES: Pittsburgh's Steve Sullivan left the game with a lower-body injury. . Carolina D Joni Pitkanen missed the game with a lower-body injury. He is considered day to day. . Sidney Crosby (concussion) is expected to return soon for the Penguins. ... Carolina was outscored 18-6 during its losing streak.

Dierks Bentley, Chris Young, Frankie Ballard and a host of other celebrities donned waiters jackets and acted as servers for one of Nashville's most unique fundraising events, the 13th annual Kevin Carter Waiting for Wishes Celebrity Waiters Dinner, Tuesday night (April 15) at the Palm restaurant. The event, hosted by former NFL football star Kevin Carter and Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts, benefits the Kevin Carter Foundation and Make-A-Wish Middle Tennessee.
Waiting for Wishes turns the tables, so to speak, on music stars and pro athletes, who wait tables for the patrons and invited guests for tips, which go directly to the charities. Many of the celebrity waiters, however, admitted to being novices at the art of serving. "I have zero experience of waiting tables in my past," Chris Young told Country Weekly on the pre-event red carpet. "So, I'll be flying by the seat of my pants. But it's a really great event and a cool way to give back to a good cause." Dierks Bentley recalled playing for tips at clubs as a struggling musician, though he never waited tables. "Being a server is hard work," he said. "I just hope I don't drop any plates."
Among the other celebrity servers were Scotty McCreery, Dustin Lynch, Maggie Rose and Keith Anderson; pop stars Rick Springfield and Tiffany; pro football's Eric Decker, Michael Roos and George Wilson; Nashville TV stars Charles "Chip" Esten and Chris Carmack; plus Olympic skater Scott Hamilton. The large turnout always pleases co-host Jay DeMarcus, who helps round up the celebrities from the music and television worlds.
"For me, what I love seeing is that so any people want to come back," Jay told Country Weekly. "They're just mesmerized by the whole event. We do have fun but it's for a great cause and I think everybody gets that. The only thing Kevin [Carter] hasn't been able to improve on is the co-host," Jay added with a laugh. "He gets stuck with me every year."
Since the first event in 2002, Waiting for Wishes has raised more than $1.5 million for the designated charities.

OSCARS Q&A: Jared Leto Talks 'Dallas Buyers Club' And "Finding The Voice"
Anna Lisa Raya is deputy editor of AwardsLine.
After a six-year break—during which he wrote and directed a documentary (2012's Artifact) and toured the world with his band (30 Seconds to Mars)—Jared Leto dug deep to portray Rayon, a transgendered woman battling AIDS and drug addiction, in Dallas Buyers Club. The film's star, Matthew McConaughey, wasn't the only one to completely transform himself for his role. From his first audition, Leto became Rayon, dropping to 116 pounds, spending weeks perfecting her voice, and never coming out of character throughout filming. His heart-wrenching performance has won over critics and generated some long-overdue Oscar buzz.
AwardsLine: How did you initially get involved with this film?
Jared Leto: I hadn't made a film in five or six years and came across this script—or maybe I should say this script was put in front of me. I kind of blew it off a few times, and then someone convinced me to take a look. I thought the character (of Rayon) was amazing. And what a great team of people—I wanted to be a part of it.
Related: OSCARS Q&A: Matthew McConaughey On 'Dallas Buyers Club'
AwardsLine: Was Rayon based on an amalgamation of anyone?
Leto: She's a fictional character, and I'm really grateful that she was. I had an enormous amount of freedom to create, to imagine, to experiment and not have some of the parameters that come along with representing or portraying a real-life person. My journey began by meeting with transgendered people, trading stories, learning what it's like to transition, learning what it's like to tell your parents who you really are, reflecting on how you overcome great obstacles and challenges. That was essential. And, of course, there was a whole series of other things, the voice.
AwardsLine: Yes, I heard about that, the voice.
Leto: The voice was really important to key into the character. There was the dialect, but also other things, like the octave. Then there's the walk and the body's center and the weight. And, of course, the emotional condition and circumstances. So already there's a lot there, and that's one of the reasons I was so excited for the part and felt so compelled to play it, because of that unique set of challenges.

Awardsline: What you envisioned for Rayon varied slightly from what director Jean-Marc Vallee had in mind. What fed that confidence going into your first meeting with him?
Leto: I didn't really audition for the role, but I set up a Skype meeting. I decided that it would be good to use it as an opportunity to see what I had to offer. So we connected via Skype, and I grabbed some lipstick and put that on. I could see his reaction—he was very shocked. I started to unbutton my thick winter jacket and I had a little furry pink sweater underneath, and I pulled it down off my shoulder and proceeded to flirt with him for 20 minutes. I woke up the next day and had the official offer for the part. So that's one way a lady gets a job, I guess. It was a great experiment. I'm not so sure, but maybe Jean-Marc may have seen Rayon more as a drag queen or someone who enjoys pushing a gender envelope or dressing up in women's clothing, but to me, it was clear that this was a person who wanted to live life as a woman. I think that key distinction was very important to make early on.
AwardsLine: One of the more emotional scenes is when Rayon goes to visit her father. It's tremendously powerful for the audience. What was the filming of it like?
Leto: Well, it was a really intense scene to film. It was the very first time that I had worn men's clothing because I was always in women's clothing (throughout the shoot). It felt like I was in drag in that scene. I felt very vulnerable wearing that oversized, borrowed suit and to not have on any of my armor—you know, my wig, my makeup, my lipstick and heels. And here I was going to say goodbye to my father and to tell him that I forgive him. So I remember doing the first take, and it was just not working, and I was beginning to panic. All of a sudden, the scene became extremely important. I remember taking a moment, and a deep breath, and some magic happened. I think the second take was when the scene came to life. The director came over with tears in his eyes, and you could hear other people crying on set. It became clear that whatever we were doing was working.
AwardsLine: There's a lot of Oscar buzz surrounding both you and the film. How do you find balance between the acclaim and just being proud of the work?
Leto: I love performance and actors and acting and music and art, and when I turn a corner in the Museum of Modern Art, I want to have my mind blown. I want things to win; I want this to succeed. When I see a movie, I want it to move me. I want it to affect my life. So I think when a performance does work, it's incredible because some of the time it doesn't work. Most of the time it doesn't work. You make these little movies, these independent movies, and they don't turn out as you had hoped or wished they would. So when they do, it's important to celebrate it. Not just the actors, but for you or whoever else. We all want to discover something and to celebrate it, you know? I'm super proud of and very excited to be a part of this insanity.
Just got my Runner Runner Razzie disc. Watched it last night. Worst movie of the year? Worst Direction, Worst writing? Yes across the board. How this becomes a movie. That's the real story.
Jared Leto looks eerily similar to Willem Dafoe's alter ego drag character in "The Boondock Saints," and Dafoe did it all without even breaking stride.
Drug addiction and sexual confusion, I guess what's old is new again. Boringly tedious hackneyed agitprop? Yay Hollywood!
Dallas Buyers Club will be forgotten in less than a year.
The comment above me is very world weary and negative.Do not judge a performance before you see it.Do not judge an entire film people have worked hard to bring to life before you see it.I have never seen a Jared Leto performance I could forget upon leaving the cinema.He is right up there with Cate Blanchett or Daniel day lewis for me.He has the ability to make you feel what his character feels in a deep visceral way .This film will not be forgotten .He s one of the very best actors in any role call and he deserves to be rewarded.He deserves his work to be respected.
"Drug addiction and sexual confusion, I guess what's old is new again."
If this all you came away with (assuming you actually did see it) then your parents and teachers severely let you down in life.
Jared Leto gave the performance of the year. Truly a wonderful surprise ( I didn't know he had it in him!). Good for him.
Forgotten? Jared's performance was stunning in this movie. He'll take this Oscar! I, for one, will remember it.
I thought his performance was incredibly heartbreaking. That scene with his father was wonderful. Not sure where the venom of poster "13times" comes from…
Come on Jared, someone put the script in front of you. Why don't actors ever want to actually recognize their team. Did he not have an agent or a manager. Did the script just magically appear in from of him after not acting for 5 years. Please.
Maybe you missed it, but in his first answer he corrects himself and says,
"…or maybe I should say this script was put in front of me."
Fantastic writing, fantastic directing and a beyond fantastic performance by Jared Leto. Truly emotional. Very well done. Thank you!
Jared Leto is great in this movie. First time I have seem him act. I'm a CD and can relate to Rayon. Great movie.
I'm super proud to be a fan of this man who is so amazing Jared Leto
Jared has NASA as his family and CIS .if I were you watch what you speak about.

Tanant Souk BBQ - Morocco, High Atlas Mountains
Category: People
Photo and caption by Aaron Millar
Market day in the small Berber town of Tanant is a world away from the polished tourist experience of Marakesh, only 60 miles west. Stalls of fresh honey, olives and sweet toasted almonds sit side by side with hooked goats heads and enormous dried cow tongues. People hold out motorbike parts, hand-woven rugs, western rip off clothes and live chickens. It's like being sucked into a maelstrom of brutally enticing, conflicting sensations. But it's beautiful too. Like this moment, when the day breaks through the cracks in a ramshackle BBQ stall.
Location: Tanant Souk, Near Demnate - Foothills of the High Atlas Mountains, Morocco

Shame on you.

Hot heads and cold hearts never solved anything.
The greatest miracle of the Bible is that the prophets of Israel could keep a religion as clean as a hounds tooth amid all the corruption and idolatry of the nations surrounding them.
The most prominent place in hell is reserved for those who are neutral on the great issues of life.
If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life.
The foundations of civilization are no stronger and no more enduring than the corporate integrity of the homes on which they rest. If the home deteriorates, civilization will crumble and fall.
Love is to the heart what the summer is to the farmer's year. It brings to harvest all the loveliest flowers of the soul.
The happiness which brings enduring worth to life is not the superficial happiness that is dependent on circumstances. It is the happiness and contentment that fills the soul even in the midst of the most distressing of circumstances and most bitter environment. It is the kind of happiness that grins when things go wrong and smiles through the tears. The happiness for which our souls ache is one undisturbed by success or failure, one which will root deeply inside us and give inward relaxation, peace, and contentment, no matter what the surface problems may be. That kind of happiness stands in need on no outward stimulus.

Product Description
When you play Skribble, you don't know what you're drawing! Your teammate knows the answer, and tells you what to draw: "Draw a square... inside the square draw two smaller squares... under the two smaller squares, draw a rectangle... on top of the big square, draw a triangle." Know what it is? A TV? A robot? A house! You and your teammate must work together before time runs out!

Product Reviews
Average Rating: 2 in 1 review
Okay. Granted. My family only played this game twice. There was a reason, however. Divorce proceedings, custody battles and arson would have resulted if we had played a third time.
My family loves Pictionary. Skribble has nothing to do with that. It's not about drawing. It's about describing drawings. You cannot draw what you want. You must draw what you THINK someone else wants. The frustration level on this game rivals a double - knotted shoelace. My parents were throwing the drawing utensil across the table in frustration.
I don't know, maybe we read the directions wrong. If we took away a time limit and a scoring system, this may be more enjoyable.
Draw a circle. Draw a square inside it. Above it draw two ellipses, connected by a slanted straight line, and so on. Could Picasso have imagined this?
Choose one of the two booklets, each with more than 500 triple items. Randomly pick one of the triplets. Select one of the three objects. Announce the one-word clue (Animal, Person, Nature, etc.) and number of points it earns. You must then get your partner to draw the item on the erasable board, using only instructions to draw the geometric shapes comprising it. A maximum of six points can be earned by guessing all three objects before the timer runs out. First team to reach 25 points wins. Geometry has never been so exasperating, or so much fun!

The recipe: Mix clay and water. Then shape, dry and fire.
Making tile sounds as simple as baking a mud pie. But in the hands of a master, the results are original, sought-after works of art.
Paul Burns, founder and chief ceramicist at the Bay Area's Fireclay Tile ever since the company was launched in 1986, started working in this field at age 10. He spent Saturdays and summers learning the skills from his uncle, Ross Chichester, owner of San Jose's Stonelight Tile. By age 15, clients were asking for Paul to help craft their custom orders.
"I've always liked ... turning raw materials into beautiful things," says Burns, who'd spent some time trying to develop and market men's work pants before settling on tile-making as a career, and starting up Fireclay in San Jose with three partners.
"I was working with fabric, rather than clay, at the time, but I realized it was the process (of creating things) that I liked most of all," he says.
As a tilemaker, Burns' biology and botany studies at UC Berkeley have paid off. Eager from the start to incorporate recycled materials in his products, he has created innovative lines such as Fireclay's Debris Series, which contains recycled granite dust, glass and porcelain (as in toilets). The tile in this line is made up of more than 70 percent recycled materials.
Burns' Berkeley studies also have helped him create glazes of unusual depth and beauty. That's part of the reason Fireclay tile has been chosen for such high-profile projects as the new World Trade Center building in New York. They also can be seen at Google headquarters in Mountain View and various Whole Foods stores, among many other locations.
The company's field tiles are available in made-to-order options as well as 100 standard patterns and 60 standard colors. Fireclay also offers elaborately painted tiles, such as its state-of-the-art Cuerda Seca line, made with recycled materials and colored with lead-free glazes in patterns inspired by 15th-century Spanish and Persian tiles.
Burns says, "Cuerda Seca-style tiles ... were frequently used in traditional buildings throughout California (and) in buildings around Stanford, in San Francisco's Marina district, downtown Oakland (and) renovations of Spanish Colonial style homes."
In addition to its lines with traditional looks, Fireclay has commissioned one for contemporary applications. Created by Austin-based designer Kelly LaPlante, the shapes and patterns of this line incorporate a variety of fashion motifs.
"I studied silhouettes and patterns that showed up throughout history, says LaPlante. "For example, a houndstooth pattern shows up in medieval pageboy caps, as well as contemporary handbags. So I designed my 'Cravate' tile to replicate a traditional houndstooth."
For her Chain Homme series, LaPlante selected the interlocking H pattern after noticing it on the watchband of a TSA officer while traveling. For the lobby of the newly renovated Bancroft Hotel in Berkeley, she used three shades of green Chain Homme tiles.
She initially came to Fireclay's attention because she was a frequent customer, who ordered tile with unusual shapes and uncommon glaze colors. She says, "I'm all about using sustainable materials, and Fireclay was doing that in really beautiful colors, rather than the boring beige you saw in early 'green' design. ... I knew that my clients wanted bolder options."
In addition to Fireclay's innovative lines, Burns says he is also proud of its "rectified" tiles, which combine the quality handmade pieces with the consistent sizing and edges of non-custom tile, he explains.
Fireclay's products are made in its San Jose headquarters on West Julian Street, near the SAP Center, and its factory in Aromas, some 40 miles to the south. Fireclay also makes glass tile and thin glazed bricks, the latter in cooperation with McNear Brick & Block in San Rafael.
Later this year, Fireclay will move from the San Francisco location it has occupied on Rhode Island Street since January to a larger showroom. But even with the new location and lines, company CEO Eric Edelson says, "Fireclay Tile has been, and will continue to be, about offering a great handmade tile using sustainable materials in the sizes, shapes and colors our customers ask for. The options are infinite."
Burns says, "We're not just about manufacturing a product; we really want to give people something that's made just for them."

Ethan Frome
by Edith Wharton
Ethan Frome Dreams, Hopes, and Plans Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
Even then he was the most striking figure in Starkfield, though he was but the ruin of a man. (Prologue.36)
For a man to be a ruin, he must have been something great before, right? Right away the narrator sees that Ethan was a man with promise, and that somewhere along the way that promise was lost.
Quote #2
"Guess he's been in Starkfield too many winters. Most of the smart ones get away." (Prologue.9)
Starkfield is always shown as a trap, a place to either escape from or get stuck in. The place is certainly a fertile breeding ground for hopes and dreams, but it also seems to have a super-glue quality to it.
Quote #3
"Somebody had to stay and care for the folks. There warn't ever anybody but Ethan. Fust his father-then his mother-then his wife." (Prologue.11)
This is a big part of what makes Ethan a tragic hero. He couldn't abandon anyone in pain, and as a result he hurts himself and everyone else around him. This kind of loyalty interferes with all his dreams.

Artists of all ages gathered at Findlay Market to celebrate National Poetry Month.
Participants got to show off their talents, not only through spoken word, but also through crafts and music on Sunday.
One of the featured artists was 5-year-old Patrick Boyne, who has autistism. He was asked to participate in the chalk art exhibition. His mom said they began using the chalk to write letters and hopscotch boards on the sidewalk.
"He just put the two together, and it formed this amazing ability for him to draw with sidewalk chalk. And he likes to spend a lot of his free time drawing right now," Amy Boyne said.
Even though Patrick has autism, his mom said he is actually more advanced than most kids his age.
She said he can already read and he even taught himself to write.
