(HOLLYWOOD, CA) -- Just like the Hollywood director who wins the Golden Globes, the Hollywood Foreign press Association and then the Directors Guild Awards before winning the Oscar, adult movie director Will Ryder is seeing the pieces of success fall into place on his way to Las Vegas and the AVN Awards.
XCritic.com just announced Ryder as their 2009 Director of the Year which came on the heels of CAVR also naming the X-Play director their 2009 Director of the Year. Earlier this fall NightMoves presented Ryder with their Lifetime Achievement Award and before that, XBIZ named him their 2009 Director of the Year for the movie not Bewitched XXX. Thats quite a blockbuster year by anyones standards.
This is all happening pretty damn fast,'' Ryder said as he prepared to fly to Las Vegas for the Adult Entertainment Expo and the AVN Awards where his X-Play production house has 32 nominations including Best Parody, Best Sex Comedy, Best Director and Director of the Year for a bevy of top-selling movies such as Flight Attendants, Not the Bradys XXX Marcia Marcia Marcia, Not Threes Company XXX, Not Married with Children XXX, Not Monday Night Football XXX, This Aint the Partridge Family XXX and Not the Cosbys XXX.
''Who knows if well win anything but it sure as hell is fun going,'' Ryder said. ''I can remember watching all of the great porn stars and directors some years back and just wondering if we could one day get up there and compete.''
In what is a bit of a surprise to Ryder, XCritic.com just named not the Cosbys XXX as the best movie of 2009 with their annual Top Ten Porn DVDs of 2009 list.
''Having an interracial movie with a black family win an award for the best porn movie of the year is amazing,'' Ryder rejoiced. I hope our Cosby Show spoof inspires blacks and whites to unite and get into each others pants especially while in Vegas. Jungle fever is a good kind of sickness.''
Along with production partner Scott David, Will Ryder and X-Play enjoy their status as a top-notch studio that has earned the respect and attention of others.
''I just saw an advertisement for Jules Jordan Video in AVN Magazine and it said in big bold print- Parodies? Not Here. Only Serious Porn,'' Ryder laughed.
''Damn, they're a big-time company and that put a huge smile on my face because thats a really impressive studio noticing that our movies are funny. At sitcums.com we dont take ourselves too seriously because we like to laugh. We leave the serious porn to the others.''
Those in Las Vegas at the AEE are encouraged to have a fun time and attend two great porn industry parties that X-Play is co-hosting.
TVs Greatest Parody Party will be a fun, relaxed laid-back porn mixer Friday, January 8th 10pm with industry friends, beautiful porn starlets, superstars, wannabees and sex-loving girls at Sugar Cane located inside Sushi Samba in the Venetians Pallazo Hotel on the 2nd floor above the casino. Porn stars will be admitted free and a limited amount of free VIP cards will be passed out by Scott David, Jeff Mullen, Brad Thomas and Porno Dan. Others will be admitted for only $25 at the door. Sponsors include Clips4Sale.com, Immoral Productions, X-Play and XCritic.
Then on Saturday, January 9th Pornstarville at Studio 54 in the MGM Hotel & Casino is the biggest adult industry party in Las Vegas and is expected to draw a virtual whos who of the porn industry immediately following the AVN Awards Show.
Companies that have already purchased tables at Pornstarville read like a directory of the adult business and include Hustler Video, Elegant Angel, Pink Visuals, Bang Bros, Club Jenna, AEBN, Wicked Pictures, Girlfriends Films, Kick Ass Pictures, Reality Kings, Sweetheart Films, Immoral Productions, Cezar Capone, AVN Magazine, Devils Films, DVSX, Harmony, Magnus, Robert Hill, Shanes World, West Coast Productions, Sitcums.com, Caballero, Northpole, Samtin, Anabolic, Metro Content, Kbeech, Pureplay, Acid Rain, Candyshop, Wildlife, Giggles, Dreamgirls, Realtouch, Tom Byron Pictures, Pleasure Productions, Exquisite, Juicy and All Media Play. The event is being thrown by IVD, Stockroom, X-Play, Erotech and XBIZ.
So win, lose or draw Will Ryder and X-Play are planning on having a great time leading up to the big AVN Awards Show. And just think, the XBIZ Awards and the XRCO Awards are right around the corner!

One man is out of his home after a fire ripped through his apartment in Lancaster Friday.
Firefighters say the victim was just getting home and found his first floor in flames on the 100 block of Melrose Lane in Manheim Township.
Firefighters say the cause was electrical and it was ruled accidental.

Everything is always wonderful, clean, friendly, and to me feels like home
very friendly staff especially the lady who prepared breakfast.
We were not sure what we would experience as this is in such a small town and had a low rating, however, we had an incredible stay. Clean rooms. Helpful staff. We did not get a chance to eat due to the schedule we were on, but the breakfast looked good!!
Great experience....
10-15 minutes from Moravian Falls and conference location.
The wifi and cell connections were poor. Wifi kept telling me it was low strength and would disconnect.
The staff was incredibly nice as well as professional. Our rooms were clean and well stocked.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
If you have more questions or if you have a bad price to report to us,
please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Japan 97. Jacques Villeneuve deliberately ignored waved yellow flags telling him that there was great danger ahead ( in this case marshals trackside dealing with an incident) and slow considerably. Prepare to take evasive action including stopping if nessacary. He ignored those flags and he admitted it as well by saying the yellow sector was on a straight and he could see no danger apart from the marshals working trackside.Ignoring flags is the biggest and most dangerous form of cheating in motorsport. Villeneuve should have been given a lengthy ban and a massive fine. He was not worthy of the 97 DWC. Jacques Villeneve has a history of ignoring flag/ light signals. I am glad he is out of F1. I would not be happy working a race in which he was driving because of his cavalier attitude to the flags

Hi all,
I've looked through the previous posts, but I'm hoping this post might grab the right attention.
I'm, like many others, looking to modify two things when it comes to Simple Local Avatars:
1. Uplaod directory
2. Upload size
Ive reached out to one of the developer of the plugin, who has told me that, when it comes to image file size restrictions, the plugin "adheres to the PHP and WordPress upload limits" - so that might be of help to someone who's good at coding.
Would still like to change upload directories too.
Any feedback/updates is welcome.

Gov. Rick Snyder has proclaimed the first week in May as an observance of arson awareness.
The state office of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs says Arson Awareness Week starts Sunday and runs through Saturday.
Fighting serial arson is this year's theme.
The National Fire Reporting System in Michigan says about 2,495 fires were intentionally set last year, killing nine people and injuring more than 70 others. Losses were estimated at more than $30 million.
State Fire Marshal Ronald Farr urges neighborhoods to develop Arson Watch Programs by working with local fire and police departments, insurance providers, business leaders, churches and community groups.

DENVER, Colo. (KUSA) - Hickenlooper's says it centers around property was trying to conserve in Park County.
He was getting a tax break on the land through a conservation easement while he was trying to donate it as a charitable gift.
The IRS offered him a $52,486 settlement to adjust an appraisal of the land.
Hickenlooper's spokesman says he did not fight it because he was more interested in preserving the land.
Hickenlooper is running against Republican Dan Maes and American Constitution Party candidate Tom Tancredo in the race for governor.

I am looking for a plugin which may support the following framework:
--> There's one or more to-do-lists with n taks, defined by an administrator.
--> There's a group of users who should complete the tasks.
--> The tasks are not attributed to the users by the administrator, but users choose by themselves, which task they would like to assume.
--> Once a task is chosen by a user, the task should be "reserved", and other users should see that a) the taks has already been chosen and b) who has chosen the task.
--> It should be possible to attribute a duration to every task.
--> It should be possible (for the administrator) to download a list (csv- or txt-file) which shows the users, the tasks they've completed and the respective time corresponding to the tasks completed.
Could anybody - maybe an experienced user or the plugin author - tell me if these framework could be implemented with the present plugin?
Thank You
Best Regards

haven't seen enough of GGG to be honest. i would like to see GGG go and face a top 5 MW. i think macklin vs GGG would be a good barometer for GGG and I think macklin deserves another shot at the big time - he comes to fight, he has heavy hands and a decent chin.
would rather see sergio go to LMW and face off against canelo/cotto.
at the minute im gonna say sergio hes been in with the better fighters and come out on top.

Martinez wins, no doubt in my mind.
GGG hasn't fought anybody yet, he's not got the speed to hang with Sergio. He'd get clocked with lead lefts all fight and stopped.

Golovkin is a bit green for Martinez yet. He looks like he has a bright future, no need to throw him to the wolves.

I just have a gut feeling, despite Sergio outclassing the massive Chavez for 11 rounds and being a top flight fighter with a solid record that he is kinda there for the taking at 37.....GGG is a serious Threat to him despite a lack of pro experience at this level. I think Golovkin could stop him actually
Then again Martinez might outclass him! I like the freshness, aggression and power of GGG over the speed and experience of Martinez i think

i think golovkin has a good chance at beating/stopping martinez...he has a good chin, great power, can put his punches together nicely, and has a good boxing ability.. would love to see this fight happen soon.

3G is good but he would get his face smashed because he is heavily offensive. He can take a punch well so he foregoes defense for the sake of offense. The movement, angles and power that Sergio would present would have him eating hard lefts all fight.
The chin gives way after 6 rounds of damage and by the 9th, he is ready to go.

By ERIC FRANCIS
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION — A Springfield man reported by his roommate for possessing child pornography made a plea deal Wednesday that will keep him out of jail.
Instead, Christopher Theroux, 31, will undergo sex-offender treatment.
He had been facing a felony count of possessing child pornography. Under the plea agreement, prosecutors charged him with three misdemeanor charges of possessing child porn, for which he will receive a suspended sentence of one to five years.
Theroux, who will now have to register as a sex offender, was placed on probation and ordered to complete a treatment program.
Deputy State's Attorney David Cahill said the state would amend the charges because the agreement calls for Theroux to be under "strict and appropriate supervision" by Probation and Parole.
"Mr. Theroux admitted his behavior from day one, is remorseful, is amenable to treatment and has no prior criminal history," Cahill said Wednesday in White River Junction criminal court.
Acting on a tip from Theroux's roommate, police executed a search warrant and seized computers from his apartment in November, according to an affidavit by Springfield Police Detective Anthony Moriglioni.
State crime lab technicians confirmed numerous sexual images of children were on at least one of the computers, the detective said, adding that Theroux admitted he downloaded them.
"He advised that he had deleted most of them (but) he had been viewing child pornography for approximately 15 years," Moriglioni wrote.MORE IN This Just InA two-vehicle crash on Route 4 in Killington in the early morning hours Saturday sent a Hartland...

BlackRock Picks Ex-Goldman Exec to Head Australia
Global asset manager BlackRock has appointed Justin Arter as its Australian Country Head, three months after Damien Frawley announced he would leave the role to become QIC's Chief Executive.
Mr. Arter will also join BlackRock's Executive Committee in the Asia Pacific and report to BlackRock's Chairman of the Asia Pacific Mark McCombe.
Currently Chief Executive Officer of Victorian Funds Management Corporation which has A$35 billion in assets under management, Mr. Arter has previously held roles including Head of Research and Head of Institutional Equities at Goldman Sachs.
"The size and sophistication of the Australian market makes it a key area of focus for BlackRock Asia Pacific [and] a leader of Justin's calibre, with his outstanding track record in financial services, will be integral to BlackRock Australia's growth plans," Mr. McCombe said in a statement. BlackRock had US$3.68 trillion in assets under management as at March 31.
BlackRock Australia's Head of Scientific Investments Michael McCorry is acting country head until Mr. Arter joins in September.

Does your almost 2yr old speak?
They are all so different..
My younger DD (the almost-2 yo) talks non-stop in full sentences, just like some of the above commenters. She is also a daredevil, crazy athletic & strong- our parent & tot gymnastics teacher has warned me about the things she tries that she's not developmentally ready for (see there are downsides). The girl is fun but intense- tantrums, screams loud enough to break glass, and does not sleep through the night. She uses the potty but not consistently to go out without diapers.
My older daughter is almost 4, and she was/is sooooo different. I think she was (and continues to be) a little delayed in her language and gross motor coordination. She isn't scary smart like her younger sister, but she is bright and very creative and socially atuned. I am still a little worried that she might have learning disabilities, but she is such a sweet girl and she surprises me often with her insightfulness. She's just not very articulate, even for her age.
At 2, my older daughter did not speak in sentences. And she would not answer questions- if you asked her a question she would either repeat the question, look stressed out, or look at you blankly. She was also super shy with adults (other than me and the people she knew well) so that may have had something to do with it. My younger daughter is much more outgoing and confident. I can't remember what my older daughter's vocabulary was like at this age... all I remember is that around Chrismas time she would just say "lights" for christmas lights, and "dayndeer" for reindeer. I think she would say "more lights" when she wanted to see more lights. My younger daughter (exactly 2 years younger so I can compare at the same time of year) was saying things like "mommy where are christmas lights?" "i saw reindeer!" "i want candy canes!" things like that. My older DD was not nearly that advanced. But dude, she was sooo much easier.. I think that's part of it- an easier temperament isn't as concerned with getting heard and understood, they don't fight to learn as much.
I don't know how many words because he doesn't seem to have many things he wants to say that he doesn't know. He doesn't have sentence structure down 100% but he's getting there. he started using "cuz" a couple weeks ago. So cute!
He spit out his food and I asked him why he did that and he said, "cuz Becker want cookie." I had to laugh.
My favorite was randomly from the backseat one day, "Friday garbage truck comes pick up trash."
He was right.
Mommy to Becker born 1/28/2011

Stay at home mommy to 3 little girls and 1 furbaby
My ODD said over 50 words when she turned one and was speaking in sentences not too much later after that. She was fully conversational by two and could sing songs, ask and answer questions, etc by two. ODD crawled at 5 months and walked at 7 months while YDD didn't walk until 9 months. The motor skill/ speech development timing didn't hold true for my girls. Every kid is just different.
yeah he talks a little bit but only in spanish for now english comes later in our household

Pirate Bay Jokes With the Prosecution, Dissuades Hackers
On day four of the tumultuous Pirate Bay trial, the proceedings were focused on one defendant, Fredrik Neij, according to BitTorrent-news blog TorrentFreak.
It reported that on Thursday, Monique Wadsted, an attorney for the film companies suing Pirate Bay's founders, brought up new evidence when questioning Mr. Neij that left the defense rattled. She asked about his connections to other torrent sites such as OscarTorrents and EurovisionTorrents. Mr. Neij denied any affiliation with them, but the judge interrupted the proceedings and asked whether her line of questioning was acceptable, since the evidence hadn't been presented pre-trial. Ms. Wadsted tried to argue with the judge, but the court decided to take a break.
Mr. Neij's defense attorney had established that Mr. Neij was not a member of Piratbyran, the anti-copyright group that gave rise to the Pirate Bay, and was more interested in the BitTorrent technology. Furthermore, he had consulted lawyers to make sure that he was operating within the law. But the prosecution claimed that Mr. Neij admitted in police questioning that Pirate Bay might harbor links to copyrighted works, though it was in the context of having received legal complaints from music and film companies that had made him aware of the issue.
Through it all, the Pirate Bay founders, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Peter Sunde and Mr. Neij, seem to be maintaining their characteristic sense of whimsy. On Wednesday, they ran into the prosecutors at an Italian restaurant. According to Swedish blogger Oscar Swartz, the two sides cracked jokes. "You wouldn't know that they'd been on opposite sides in the courtroom less than an hour ago."
"We had some pizza after todays episode of #spectrial. Met the whole oposing side and asked if they could pick up the check. They refused :(" Mr. Sunde tweeted. He also urged supporters to stop hacking the Web site for the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, blogging "The internets is having a fever and this might be a way to get cooled down. But I hope it's over now and that we can go back to winning our case without taking these measures. The hacking can only reflect on us badly and if you want to help us, please stop with the attacks."
Pirate Bay champions view the prosecution's dropped charges as a sign that victory is imminent, though prosecution lawyer Peter Danowsky has said that the change lets prosecutors focus on the charge of "assisting making available copyright material."
Not everyone in the blogosphere is on the Pirate Bay's side. PC World's Jeff Bertolucci writes in a post called "It's Time for Pirate Bay to Walk the Plank": "No, I'm not a card-carrying member of the RIAA, nor am I a fan of the recording industry's past strong-arm tactics to fight piracy… The Pirate Bay makes its living off piracy, and that's bad. It allows millions of Internet users to steal music, movies, games, and so on."
But he also says he's glad Pirate Bay has rattled the cage. "Its looming shadow has led to positive developments over the past year, as media conglomerates realized that they needed to find creative ways to fight piracy," he adds.

Ok so I know your supposed to replace the car seat after any kind of car accident. Well my husband was rear-ended today luckily without LO in the car. So what happens now? When the insurance agency of the other car calls we just say we have a car seat in there that will need to be replaced? DO we go out and get another one and submit the reciept to the insurance agency? We can get by with just using mine and my mothers car seat for a little bit but this is a first for me so I dont know how this works. Thanks for any input.

Yup, wait til you hear from them (or call them). Tell them the seat was in the car and needs replacing, and then ask whether they give you money up front for it, or if you should buy and be reimbursed. Sometimes you have to buy the exact same seat, other times you can buy whatever you want.

Study: Mercury Pollution Threatens Idaho Children
October 25, 2007 03:37 PM -
Reno, Nevada - New emissions data, obtained from the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (NDEP), show that northern Nevada gold mines are still under-reporting substantial amounts of mercury air pollution. It also reveals that a number of mines that were previously considered small sources of mercury air pollution are actually very large sources, yet these mines have few pollution controls in place. Until 2006, mines were not required to actually measure mercury releases, only estimate mercury emissions.
Mercury exposure is a serious pubic health concern, particularly for children. Exposure to mercury can cause significant neurological and developmental problems such as attention and language deficits, impaired memory and impaired vision and motor function.
Bird flu Finds Children's Lungs Faster
October 25, 2007 08:43 AM - Eureka Alert
New findings, reported in today in the online open access journal Respiratory Research, about how the virus binds to the respiratory tract and lung suggest children may be particularly susceptible to avian influenza,. The results also mean that previous receptor distribution studies may have to be re-evaluated.
Goodwill Revolutionizing Used Clothing
October 25, 2007 08:40 AM - Nick Aster, Triple Pundit
Buying used clothing is a great way to go green and get an interesting wardrobe at the same time. But it's still hard to get the mainstream to accept it. Goodwill has never been sexy. That may be about to change.
Chunks of Smashed Moon Detected in Saturn's Rings
October 25, 2007 08:19 AM - Reuters
WASHINGTON - Big chunks of a moon that was smashed long ago perhaps by a comet have been detected in Saturn's outermost ring, shedding light on the formation of the planet's grand ring system, scientists said on Wednesday. A camera on NASA's Cassini spacecraft spotted wakes ahead of and trailing behind these fragments, where other ring material has been affected by the gravitational forces exerted by the pieces, they said.
Huge Ash Cloud as Indonesia's Mount Soputan Erupts
October 25, 2007 08:13 AM - Reuters
JAKARTA - Mount Soputan volcano on the northern tip of Indonesia's Sulawesi island has erupted, throwing columns of ash 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) into the air, an official said on Friday. Saut Simatupang, of Indonesia's Centre for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation, said that the eruption did not appear to pose an immediate threat to residents, although ash had reached the nearest town.
Bird-flu May Become Endemic in Parts of Europe
October 25, 2007 08:10 AM - Reuters
MILAN - Bird flu virus may become endemic in parts of Europe, with ducks and geese more of a vector for spreading it than previously thought, the U.N. said on Thursday.
"It seems that a new chapter in the evolution of avian influenza may be unfolding silently in the heart of Europe," Joseph Domenech, chief veterinary officer of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), said in a statement.
Survery: Housing Crisis Stress a Major Health Problem in the U.S.
October 24, 2007 05:59 PM -
NEW YORK, Oct. 24 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- One-third of Americans are living with extreme stress and nearly half of Americans (48 percent) believe that their stress has increased over the past five years. Stress is taking a toll on people -- contributing to health problems, poor relationships and lost productivity at work, according to a new national survey released today by the American Psychological Association (APA).
Money and work continue as the leading causes of stress for three quarters of Americans, a dramatic increase over the 59 percent(1) reporting the same sources of stress in 2006. The survey also found that the housing crisis is having an effect on many, with half of Americans (51 percent) citing rent or mortgage costs as sources of stress this year.
Smoking, family alcohol history alter taste buds
October 24, 2007 05:43 PM -
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Cigarette smoking and a family history of alcoholism both alter how women perceive sweet foods and what foods they crave, according to studies conducted by two researchers from the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia.
Marta Yanina Pepino and Julie A. Mennella found that women who smoked were less sensitive to sweet taste than women who never smoked. Women who smoked needed higher concentrations of sugar to detect a sweet taste, and the more years a woman smoked, the less she was able to perceive a sweet taste.
"Smoking dulls sweet taste sensitivity," Pepino and Mennella noted in a joint email to Reuters Health. "Whether this reduced sensitivity for sweets helps smokers control their weight is an important question that is not addressed in the current study."
U.S. "Undoubtedly In Recession", Says Expert
October 24, 2007 05:27 PM -
LONDON (Reuters) - The United States has entered a recession, according to highly-regarded investor Jim Rogers, who told Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper on Wednesday he was switching out of the dollar and into yen, the yuan and the Swiss franc.
The veteran investor, who predicted the 1999 commodities rally, also said he was still bullish about surging Chinese stock markets despite worries over a bubble.
Fears are growing over the health of the U.S. economy after the fallout from the subprime mortgage market crisis and the global credit crunch it triggered.
The U.S. Federal Reserve has already slashed borrowing costs by 50 basis points to 4.75 percent to try and shore up the world's biggest economy and is widely expected to lower interest rates again next week.
Australian farmers face bankruptcy from drought
October 24, 2007 04:41 PM - Michael Byrnes
WEST WYALONG, Australia (Reuters) - Farmer John Ridley won't be harvesting so much as a bag of wheat this season from fields that stretch to the horizon as Australia's worst drought in 100 years takes its toll on the country's grain belt.
Beneath a cloudless sky, 60-year-old Ridley, a descendant of one of Australia's pioneering farming families, pulls a clump of brittle stubble from the dusty earth.
"It should be this high, waving green in the breeze," he says. "Farmers are in a stunned state at the moment. In a state of disbelief, shock, helplessness."
Ridley's farm is in the epicenter of devastation from the drought, about 500 kilometers (310 miles) west of Sydney. Prime wheat growing territory, the district normally grows much of the wheat that makes Australia the world's second-biggest exporter. Yet this year the district will produce almost nothing.

- 14 ounces ladyfingers (or as many as fit in your dish)
- 14 ounces marscapone cheese (or ricotta)
- 4 eggs separated
- 4 ounces sugar
- 2 cups espresso or strong coffee
- cocoa and powdered sugar
Beat egg whites until stiff white peaks. In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar until creamy and lemon colored. Add marscapone cheese to egg yolk mixture, beat until smooth. Then fold in the egg whites. Soak the ladyfingers in the coffee, and make a layer of half of them. (I found quickly dipping each ladyfinger in the coffee worked well). Cover layer of ladyfingers with half the cheese. Repeat layer of ladyfingers and layer of cheese. Mix together about 2 tsp of cocoa with 2 tsp powdered sugar, and sift over the top. Cover and refrigerate. Serve with a chocolate sauce on the side if desired. Chocolate Sauce 4 to 5 Tbsp butter 7 to 9 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 1/2 cups milk 2 to 3 Tbsp corn syrup 1/2 to 1 tsp vanilla In top of a double boiler, over boiling water, melt butter and mix with cocoa powder. Once melted and smooth, mix in sugar, keep stirring until smooth. Add milk, and keep stirring until creamy consistency (for a while there it looks like individual bits of chocolate floating in milk, but it does eventually combine.) At this point it's still quite bitter, so add corn syrup, continue adding corn syrup until desired sweetness. Let it cool and then stir in vanilla.

Tony Scott is still 'Unstoppable' after all these years
Unlike his brother Ridley, director Tony Scott has seemingly never been obsessed with winning an Oscar or gaining his peers respect. The 66-year-old filmmaker has instead made a name for himself with moviegoers across the globe by directing some of the most acclaimed action films of the past quarter century. From "Top Gun" to "Crimson Tide" to "True Romance" or "Man on Fire," this Scott knows how to get things moving on the big screen. He also seems to continue to find ways to collaborate with Denzel Washington. Opening today, "Unstoppable" is their fifth film together.
"Normally I'd say 'Goddamn I've worked with Denzel three times. I've got to look elsewhere,'" Scott says. "Then I come around and say, 'God, but he's so perfect.'"
Speaking to Scott a few weeks ago in anticipation of the release of his "Speed" on a train thriller, one is struck by how humble and charming the filmmaker is considering his staggering success. There is no pretense from him as an "auteur" (even though he is an accomplished artist in numerous medias). In his mind, he's just still trying to make good movies and to challenge himself. "Unstoppable" fit that bill as a "true story" (sort of) centering on a runaway cargo train in Central Pennsylvania.
The picture's story begins with the misfit pairing of an experienced train operator almost on his way out (Washington) and a younger conductor (Pine) who the older employees aren't thrilled has taken one of their jobs. On the same day they begin working together, their company has to deal with the emergency of an unmanned runaway train on the loose on Pennsylvania's railway tracks. Scott admits "true story" is stretching it just a bit.
"We said 'inspired by true events' because that's the fact," Scott clarifies. "You know, what I did? I did all the research and there was, in the shadow of 9/11, there was a runaway train which [was a big story in Central Pennsylvania]. Since then there have been 10 other runaways. Almost one a year. And they get sort of buried in the press."
Scott took that concept and used real-life men from a separate incident to fashion the story in the movie.
"I go and do my research and I then I found guys who have nothing to do with that event and I reverse engineer those characters," Scott admits. "These two guys have been together for 12 years. Their first day of the job is what we re-honed into the script. So, I take from the railroaders over here, from a real runaway train here and so we mix and match."
And Scott is hardly looking for a story credit. He had enough on his hands trying to fashion action sequences with real trains instead CG stand ins. Oh, and causing a real train to derail on screen for massive effect with no CG. Something Scott proclaims is "one of the most difficult things I've ever had to choreograph in terms of movie making"
"The actual trains themselves cost us nothing. They were sitting in a yard because the industry's hurting. And it's a lot cheaper honestly to spend the time, the shooting time, doing it and actually doing it versus doing it CG," Scott insists. "But that's not why I did it. I did it because I felt…there's always mistakes and things you don't anticipate but I capitalize off. With that train you can never, no matter how long you sit in a room, conjure up all the things that happen in real time knowing that train's derailing. Or, what happens to the actors when you put them in real life situation, everything changes. They're fighting the vibration. They're fighting the noise. The window [expletive] falls out but it's…then you watch the performance do this and you watch, not improvisation, just tone. But out of tone I get something very spontaneous."
Still, it's the challenge of the unknown and unexpected that appears to keep this Scott's interest.
"I love it because it's like a huge adventure and I say I love adventure and I love challenges," Scott says. "I'm a big rock climber. I go climbing in Yosemite. I spent three days hanging on the north face and that's not nearly as intimidating as the first week on a movie like this. But because if you look at it I did everything for real not because I'm an old fart."
Old fart or not, Scott's "Unstoppable" shows he can still teach his younger colleagues a thing or two about fashioning a crowd and aesthetically pleasing action flick.

"Unstoppable" is now playing nationwide.

Does anybody have a fix for this? I did read it could be in the Internal Links settings in Yoast but I have tried changing things in there and nothing works. Any help would be great. Might have to abandon the breadcrumbs if I can't get it to work.

Skill Level Beginner
When rendering, one of the first things you need to understand is lighting. Maya has a number of different lighting types, and some of it depends on the renderer you are using, but let's just go over the main types of lights that apply to both mental ray and the Maya Software Renderer. Now, I am going to actually be rendering this in mental ray, because I have an object, the scooter, which actually has a mental ray material on it. So we are going to be rendering in mental ray, but it applies just as easily to the Maya Software Renderer.
We have a bunch of different types of lights. If we go under Create > Lights, you will notice there is a whole slew of them. Also, under the Rendering shelf, we have icons for each one of these. So we have Ambient Light, Directional, Point, Spot, Area, and Volume Light. Now, let's go to the most common ones first and then we will go to the ones that are a little bit more esoteric. Probably the most common ones are Spot Light and Point Light. Let's show you the difference between those. Point Light is basically the bare 100-watt light bulb in the room.
It's just a light that emits from all directions. And if we want to kind of see the effect of this, all we have to do is make sure our Render is on High Quality Rendering, and let's turn on Use All Lights, and so you can kind of see how this works. So you can see how this particular light illuminates here, here, and here. Now, if we want to do a quick render, we can certainly do that. Just hit the Render tab here and you can kind of see the quality of light that this provides.
It really is just a light that shines in all directions. So there is not a lot of control over it. The next most important light is the Spot Light. I am going to go ahead and delete that Point Light and just create a Spot Light. Now, if you notice, the Spot Light itself, well, it works kind of like a flashlight, kind of like a spotlight. You can see it has this cone here. I think if I turn off that grid, you can see it a little bit better. So you can kind of see how this works.
Now, if you want you can move it, you can rotate it, and you can position it really anywhere you want. Now, an easier way to manipulate Spot Lights is by using what's called the Manipulator, which is right here. When I turn on that Manipulator tool, what it does is it gives me a target. It gives me this, which allows me to point the light in any direction. So when I move this target and set it down, it says the light is going to be pointed there. And so now I can kind of adjust my light a little bit more easily.
And I can turn that off if I want by going back to the Move or the Rotate tool and I'll be able to adjust this accordingly. So if we want we can do a quick render of what this looks like. One of the things about Spot Light is that by default it has a hard edge. Now, there are a number of things you can adjust with Spot Lights if you just go into the Attribute Editor by hitting Ctrl+A. Now, this is the case pretty much with any light, but let me show you some of the parameters that you can change.
Now, the first thing you can change is, well, the type of light. It doesn't have to be a Spot Light. It can be Point Light or any other type of light. You can change the color of the light here, just really to any color you want. It's really whatever color fancies you. We can change the intensity. So we can turn the light up or down, in terms of intensity. And then we can also change what the light affects. So we can change whether the light affects diffuse or specular. So in other words, is it going to illuminate the whole thing and highlights? We can also add in things such as decay.
So if I want, I can have the light decay as it falls off. So right here I have got No Decay and so the light is constant no matter what. But if I turn on decay, I can turn it onto Linear, so it falls off evenly. Quadratic, which is real world. So that's inverse square law. So it falls off with the square of the distance. That's actually the way that real lights work. And Cubic, which is actually more intense. It falls off with the cube of the distance.
So if I selected Quadratic, you would see that, oh my goodness, the light doesn't work. Well, that's because my Intensity is not nearly enough for this light at Linear falloff. So what I can do is I can type in a much larger number, say like 100 or maybe even 1000, and you can start to see how this light works. So now you can kind of see how the Intensity works and you need a lot more Intensity when you have Quadratic falloff. But the upside of that is that you get much more realistic rendering.
So you have a light that falls off with distance, so one light doesn't illuminate the whole scene. You get a much more realistic lighting effect. Now, the next thing is what's called the Penumbra Angle, which is basically that soft edge on the light. So if I want to, I can make that edge very, very soft. Now, in addition to this, we have Light Effects and things like Shadows, which we will get into, so you can add fog to a light. You can add shadows, that sort of stuff. And there are mental ray parameters for the lights and that gets into things like Global Illumination and Caustics and that sort of stuff like that, which is more advanced rendering techniques.
So once I have this, you can say I have got a Penumbra. I have got some falloff, and you can get a much more realistic lighting effect. Now, there are other types of lights, and let's just go ahead and play with some of these. So, for example, in addition to Point Light, we have one that's called Directional Light. Now, Directional Light does not have falloff. Basically what it is, it's like the sun. It just comes from one direction, and it comes consistently. So it's not like the Spot Light. It's directional, but there is no falloff.
So for this, I have to bring this back down to say about 1 or so in order to make this work, and then when I render this, you can see it gets the same lighting as the Spot Light but without the cone. So it's almost like just a light that comes from a very specific direction. The next one is called Area Light. Now, what that is is that's a light that emits from an area. So it's more like an overhead, like a soft box or something like that. And the last one is called Ambient Light. And what that is is that's just the Ambient Light in the room.
So if, for example, you don't want your shadows to be completely black or you want a little bit of glow in the room, just put a Ambient Light in the room with a very, very low Intensity, so somewhere around 0.1 or 0.2, and that will just give a nice kind of base level. So it never gets darker than a certain level. So an Ambient Light, in conjunction with other lighting, just kind of brightens the room. It kind of makes it look like there is light scattering throughout the room. So those are some of the basics of lights in Maya.
Now, remember, with every light, you can control color and intensity, and also with other types of lLights, such as Spot Lights and Point Lights, you can control how the light falls off with distance, and then with Spot Lights you also get control of the cone of the light, as well as the Penumbra Angle.

Community and forum dedicated to the books and films of the J.R.R. Tolkien series
I've been trying to figure out Galadriel's timeline during the Second Age during the War of the Last Alliance-- not easy considering all of Tolkein's information is spotty and conflicting. I was wondering, was Galadriel present in Ost-in-Edhil when Sauron began to siege Eregion in an attempt to reach The Nine in the House of the Mirdain, or had she already gone through Khazad-Dum to Lothlorien to stay under the protection of King Amdir?
Christopher Tolkien raises a problematic question in the middle of Concerning Galadriel And Celeborn: why did Galadriel scorn Annatar? and if she did so because she saw through his disguise, as a leader of the Noldor in Eregion, why would she allow him to stay?
One can always surmize. Pure politics: Galadriel didn't intervene in Eregion because she wanted it destroyed and Lothlorien to become the most powerful Elven realm in Middle-earth.
Not to mention Celebrimbor was still a descendant of Fëanor. Maybe she wanted that line completely eradicated, considering the many horrors they were responsible for - both directly & indirectly. Also, isn't it written somewhere that Celebrimbor was secretly in love with her? That could have added another dimension to the drama.
It says there that it was wrought for her before the Three Rings were forged and when she was in Lorien.
This elfstone was responsible for staying the flow of Time in the land of Lorien before the Ring Nenya came to be hers.
In version A she was said to be dwelling 'under the trees of Greenwood the Great' (in the Third Age here, as she is talking to Gandalf).
Older thread but I'm just noting that I've come to change my mind about this. In The Elessar [A] version where Gandalf visits Galadriel I have earlier concluded that it must be the Third Age, and thus thought it odd that Galadriel should care much for the preservation power of the Elessar jewel in an Age when she can already employ Nenya.
At first I thought this was a mistake by JRRT, then possibly an intended mistake to give weight to the second version of the Elessar history, as both versions are intended to be story internal [in other words, this is not, as in other cases, Tolkien simply changing his mind, but an intended variation within the collected tales that Tolkien has, in theory, translated for the modern reader]...
... but now I think that perhaps Tolkien intended this to be a visit from Olorin, not Gandalf the Istar. In other words, not necessarily in the Third Age, when of course Galadriel can and does employ Nenya for preservation power, notably in Lothlorien.
I never gave much attention before to how much Tolkien employs the name Olorin in this section of the tale, rather than Gandalf, and that his parenthetical reference 'who was known in Middle-earth as Mithrandir' could easily refer to days that followed this visit in history, to days after the Istari came to Middle-earth.

I'll start by saying, this course is in the ghetto, I felt very uncomfortable playing here. All the park users seemed to not even know what I was doing, they stared me down like I was a nuisance. I didn't even take some shots because I was nervous of hitting someone and getting into a fight. Short teeboxes, easy layouts, too many people in the way to enjoy it. Don't dress nice or drive a nice car here, your asking yourself to get into trouble. I'll never play here again.

Let's all agree that dads are difficult, if not impossible, to shop for. This Father's Day, get him a gift he'll really appreciate -- check out our top gift picks below for the big guy in your life.
Want a unique, quirky gift for a graduate or dad? Transform an old-fashioned 2D photo into a tangible miniature -- of them. Two photos, to be precise (front and profile), are uploaded online, and via 3D printing technology, your minis are "sculpted" in France and delivered to you. Get as creative and customized as you dare -- describe your child's school or soccer uniform, for instance, and Sculpteo will recreate it as closely as possible; or photograph dad with that goatee you're hoping won't last too, too long... (from $74.90; www.sculpteo.com)
Because it's cute-and well, why not? Matching ties for all the boys in the house! These Dapper Dude skinny ties are made from 100 percent silk and come in designs shown as well as herringbone. Kids' versions are pre-tied with a zipper built into the knot. ($54 for Dad & Youth set or Dad & Boys set, each with two ties; www.diaperdude.com)
Handy Manny may have taught your kid about engines and flathead screwdrivers, but he's not changing that light bulb at the top of the staircase, is he? Let Dad at it with the Select StepTM Adaptive StepLadderTM. Chances are he's seen some version of this Little Giant product on a late-night infomercial and pictured himself on it, so why not indulge his inner handyman and get it for him? The ladder is small enough to stash efficiently in the tiniest city apartment and versatile enough for use in every room in bigger suburban homes.
Best features: easily (yes, easily) adjusts to four heights and adapts for use on slopes, flat ground, or steps; built-in, stable standing platform; Tip & Glide wheels; and at just 25 lbs., it holds up to 300 lbs.! ($197 Father's Day Promotion at Home Depot stores starting June 1; regularly $239; also available at www.selectstep.com)
Your child's outgrown his baby carrier, and traditional piggyback rides can be a killer on the back -- now there's a solution that replaces bulky backpack carriers and strollers and is just as fun: The Piggyback RiderTM supports a child up to 60 lbs, 2½ to 7 years of age, utilizing a shoulder-mounted foot-bar to distribute the child's weight at your core, which enables a natural upright walking posture. The child stands firmly on the wide foot-bar, holding integrated grab handles and secured by a safety tether. And it weighs less than three lbs. and stashes in a bag the size of a rolled-up towel. It'll bring you and your child closer together, whatever your adventure. ($79.99; www.thepiggybackrider.com or www.everythingforthebaby.com)
