The Madison Department of Recreation, in partnership with Playwrights Theatre announces auditions for the Summer Recreation musical "Once Upon a Mattress," by Mary Rodgers and Marshall Barer. Auditions will be held on Saturday, May 19 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and also on Wednesday, May 23, from 4-7 p.m. at the offices of Playwrights Theatre of New Jersey, Madison Civic Center, 28 Walnut Street, Madison. This project requires quite a large cast and all who try out will be included. Madison residents between 14-21 are welcome to audition for this community event.
The play will be performed at Madison High School from Thursday to Sunday, July 26-28, with Thursday and Friday shows at 7:30 p.m., and a Saturday matinee at 2 p.m. Rehearsals will take place Monday through Friday from 6-9:30 pm, beginning Monday, June 25.
Weekend rehearsals will take place on Saturday and Sunday, July 21-22 (the weekend prior to opening). Rehearsals will be held at a location to be determined in Madison.
Interested performers can email email@example.com, call 973-514-1787, ext. 13, or visit ptnj.org (click on link for Madison Recreation Auditions in the updates section). Include name, desired audition date, email address and phone number. All appointments will be acknowledged via e-mail.
Please be prepared to sing a portion of a song of your choice from a Broadway show. You may sing unaccompanied, bring recorded accompaniment (with no vocals please) or, if you have the sheet music in the correct key, we may be able to have it played for you. You may prepare a short audition monologue or one will be provided for you. Actors may be asked to read selections from the script or do short improvisations. Please note there are parts for non-singers (the "King" is mute and pantomimes all of his lines- Fun part for a guy who doesn't sing!) and those who just want to dance. Everyone should be ready to learn a few dance steps as well.
Once Upon A Mattress is a fun twist on Hans Christian Anderson's Classic Fairytale 'The Princess and the Pea'. It has an added subplot that has a more adult theme, and the show features some wonderful up-tempo full cast musical numbers, as well as very humorous songs and situations. The original Broadway cast was led by Carol Burnett and the revival by Sarah Jessica Parker. Many may have seen the made for TV version with an all-star cast (with Ms. Burnett as the Queen this time) as well.
Students who are interested in playing in the orchestra (rehearsals begin July 9), and people of all ages for building/painting scenery, making costumes or props for one day or the whole project can email email@example.com.

This means that someone found certain content offensive and no longer wanted the public to read.

I'm re-reading The Great Gatsby for the first time since college and am astounded. I remember loving the lush, delicate writing at the time but little else. Now I can't get over the deceptive, seeming simplicity of this very short novel that has so much going on it: a snapshot of the Jazz Age, a critique of class, of entitlement, of capitalism, and the brutal clash of dreams and reality, all conveyed in exquisite prose.

No, they were not our feelings, or at least not mine. It was sadness that it was over. Not relief. We did this massive journey all together and now its over. We completed and now the pokemon we've trained will be lost forever. There will never be anything quite like that again. And its a horrible horrible feeling.

Texans star J.J. Watt said last week that he eats between 8,000 and 9,000 calories per day at the peak of football season.
We wondered what 8,000 calories might look like in terms of actual food, so we found out.
Take a look at the photos and think about how long it would take to work off 37 of Shipley's glazed donuts. That should give you some idea of just how hard Watt works on and off the field.

The Lakers' Legend Faces An Unfair Foe—migraines
I was 14 and visiting a relative in North Carolina when I got the first one. I'd had headaches before, but they didn't disable me. When I got this one I thought, "This is a headache." The pain was intense and I felt nausea and a great sensitivity to light. All I could think about was when it would stop. I sat in a dark room for an hour and it passed.
The next spring I had a series of two or three headaches in two weeks, and my mother sent me to our family doctor. The pain wasn't as severe then as it became later on. The doctor said the headaches were probably migraines. He thought they were caused by tension, although I've since learned that migraines result from an involuntary change in the flow of blood to one side of the head and are not primarily related to stress. You see, I've been through some serious things in my life without getting headaches. I believe my problem is physical, maybe 10 percent stress-induced. Anyway, after the first doctor, I figured I'd try not to be tense. I thought maybe this Latin teacher I didn't like was responsible. He had weird disciplinary rules. If you were caught talking in class you had to write a one-paragraph description of the Temple of Apollo in Latin and recopy it 50 times.
I don't remember getting any more headaches during high school. They returned the spring of my freshman year at UCLA. The pain was so bad I couldn't do anything but lay down. I had a couple more headaches, and then they stopped after two or three weeks. In the spring of my sophomore year the same thing happened. The team doctor sent me to the neurological wing of the UCLA medical center. They tried everything. All kinds of different scans. They put electrodes on my scalp. They looked for a brain tumor. All the tests were negative. They told me I was in great health.
The first few years in the pros I was bothered again. I'd start getting them in February, they'd go on sporadically for two or three months, and they'd be gone by June. Then a few years passed when I didn't get any. But in 1975 I had to seek help again. I was in Germany for Adidas, helping them design a basketball shoe, and had a bad spell that lasted two or three weeks. I started getting attacks every other day like clockwork. The pain and nausea would be so severe I would throw up.
When I returned to the States I tried acupuncture. Bruce Lee, the martial arts actor, was a friend of mine and touted it highly. Acupuncture is the art of listening to different pulses in the body and tracking the blood and energy flow, which the Chinese call chi, meaning life force. Acupuncturists can see where the body is sluggish or hyper and are able to adjust the flow by touching certain points with needles. The acupuncture seemed to help during one series of headaches, but later the headaches returned.
I began practicing yoga in 1978, and that seemed to help the chi flow. But by 1980 the pains were coming real bad. I took cortisone and the Lakers got a neurologist for me. I don't know why, but everything helped that year, and nothing did the next. Then I went to see a New York doctor, Robert Giller, who emphasizes preventive medicine and thinks migraines are very closely related to the foods that you put in your body. He put me through a cytotoxic test in which they draw blood and run it against different food groups to see if there's any allergic or hypersensitive reaction. I had a very intense reaction to MSG, a milder one to shellfish, and a lesser one to nightshade plants, such as eggplant and green peppers. I react to MSG almost immediately. I missed a game several weeks ago, and when I traced the foods I had eaten I found I'd had soy sauce, which is high in MSG.
These days I'm very careful of what I eat. Cheryl shops for our food, and she's almost a vegetarian, although she occasionally eats fish and poultry. Sometimes I take a painkiller like Darvon, or Percodan when the headache is really severe. When I first began getting migraines I wouldn't take medication. I was more holistic then; today I'm a little more realistic.
After the play-off game last year when I did so poorly against Philadelphia, I went to see David Bresler, a former director of the UCLA pain-control unit. Like Giller, he believes there is a relationship between my migraines and reactions to certain foods. But he also introduced me to biofeedback training, which resembles yoga and autohypnosis in that you control body functions by relaxation. Biofeedback uses monitoring devices that show you how to control pulse rate and the temperature in your hands. One technique for treating migraines is to concentrate on warming the hands. This helps increase the blood flow to the extremities, while reducing excessive blood flow to the head.
Fortunately, in my 14-year pro career I've only missed two or three games during the regular season due to migraines, and I've never missed a play-off game. If the team sees me with a headache, they go, "Oh, wow!" It's so physically obvious, since one side of my face is bloated, that the guys can't miss it. But they've always been understanding about it.
Actually, my headaches are decreasing in frequency and severity. Even so, after a while migraines become part of your life. Logically, you pursue every avenue to deal with them, but there is only so much you can do. I don't like it when the headaches disable me, but I don't live in fear of them either. I don't get hopeful that they'll ever end, and I figure the years I don't get any are a bonus.

Album Review
Keith Urban
had a rough go of it in late 2006, when the tour for his brilliant
Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing
was delayed fore health-related reasons.
has nonetheless been a road dog in 2007, and this greatest-hits package couldn't have come at a better time. Covering eight years, these are not merely album cuts, but in most cases the actual radio edits of hit singles -- album lengths are generally longer -- so these are the actual versions of tunes that made country radio and the video channels, so it doesn't replicate previous collections. From "I Told You So" and "Making Memories of Us" it goes right on through to the far more powerful version of "Days Go By" and "Where the Blacktop Ends." The 16 catalog tracks top what is the norm for compilations like this, which usually stop at ten or twelve cuts. But there's a bit more; a lot more actually. There are two new tracks that lead this baby off, and the first one's a doozie. "Romeo's Tune" was written by
Steve Forbert
who, back in the mid- and late '70s, was the next up-and-comer on the songwriting scene (and who appeared on an early
Cyndi Lauper
video), who has been compared to both
Bob Dylan
John Prine
, but at the time, his brand of easy, open rock was far more refreshing than that of either of those comparisons. The song is a great fit for
, whose voice has just enough graininess in it to recall the original, but it also rocks harder.
is faithful to the original but lets his guitar do plenty of talking in the mix. This should be released as a new single to country radio and hopefully there'll be a video coming to boot. The other bonus is "Got It Right This Time (The Celebration)," which was self-penned. It begins with a B-3 and a Fender Rhodes, a slippery drum loop, and one of those trademark, mid-tempo love ballad hooks that
can write all day long. Given his travails over the past few years, this sounds like a love song for his new wife, Nicole Kidman. That's conjecture, but given that it was written in 2006, it's a pretty good bet. When the guitars open up and the snare starts to crack,
's croon glides over this soulful, easy rocker and builds to a killer bridge where the electric six-strings, percussion, organ, and piano swell to the bursting point and it's all joy. Bottom line: it's one of the great romantic rockers of 2007. Equal parts
Tom Petty
Don Henley
, and
Bob Seger
, it's a country-pop song that will go down as one of his best. Clocking in at almost 76 minutes, this is a comp for the fans, and for the uninitiated as well. [There is also a limited special edition of this set that comes in a digipack with a bonus DVD chock-full of videos and a coupon to join the online community for free for a limited time. It's true that most of these were released before, but it's a nice premium for only a little more scratch.]

General Motors posts $898 million quarterly net profit
General Motors made money in North America and Asia and lost a bundle in Europe as it nearly doubled last year's fourth-quarter net profit. But the numbers were complicated by a dizzying array of accounting gains and losses for tax credits and devaluation of European assets.

"If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times that Little Jack Horner was not eating curds and whey!" Mother Goose told Father Goose.
"He was eating, uh—"
"What, cherry pie?!" cried Mother Goose.
They'd been at it for hours.
Finally, Father Goose said, "I'm going for a walk."
As he left, Mother Goose hollered, "Sure! Run away!"
This was a typical falling out between the couple. It can be very trying to keep producing stories, especially when one person doesn't pull his or her weight. In the case of the Gooses, it seemed to Mother that Father was always on a break. She decided to teach him a lesson.
"The publisher wants 10 new stories by Friday," she told him, "and you'll have to do it. I have to convince Jack to jump over the candlestick. He's such a wuss."
"How can I create 10 stories in just two days?!"
"See ya," said Mother Goose, and she left.
Father Goose wandered around muttering.
When Mother Goose got back, she told him she'd just been joking. Furious, he left.
Remember: Use an exclamation point after a sentence that REALLY makes a point!
Exclamation point or no?

2008 Smart fortwo
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Incredible! The install is super easy up until actually fitting the sub in the space. My recommendation, take the speaker out of the box and reinstall the speaker after everything is mounted. Incredible sound, I had a 12" sub in the back of my Smart, and am now selling it, cause this 8" hits cleaner, more efficiently and I am in LOVE with it! You can hear it everywhere, top down or not. I have a 2008 Cabrio ForTwo
Pros: Incredible sound, invisible to the outside world.
Cons: Putting the sub in place is a little tough, but not impossible.

UCLA basketball coaching legend John Wooden dead at 99
LOS ANGELES - John Wooden, college basketball's gentlemanly Wizard of Westwood who built one of the greatest dynasties in all of sports at UCLA and became one of the most revered coaches ever, has died. He was 99.
The university said Wooden died Friday night of natural causes at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, where he had been hospitalized since May 26.
With his signature rolled-up game program in hand, Wooden led the Bruins to 10 NCAA championships, including an unmatched streak of seven in a row from 1967 to 1973.
Over 27 years, he won 620 games, including 88 straight during one historic stretch, and coached many of the game's greatest players such as Bill Walton and Lew Alcindor - later known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
As a coach, he was groundbreaking trendsetter who demanded his players be in great condition so they could play an up-tempo style not well-known on the West Coast at the time.
But the Wizard's legacy extended well beyond that.
He was the master of the simple one- or two-sentence homily, instructive little messages best presented in his famous "Pyramid of Success," which remains must-read material, not only for fellow coaches but for anyone in a leadership position in American business.
He taught the team game and had only three hard-and-fast rules - no profanity, tardiness or criticizing fellow teammates. Layered beneath that seeming simplicity, though, were a slew of life lessons - primers on everything from how to put on your socks correctly to how to maintain poise: "Not being thrown off stride in how you behave or what you believe because of outside events."
"What you are as a person is far more important that what you are as a basketball player," was one of Wooden's key messages.
Wooden began his career as a teacher during the Great Depression and was still teaching others long past retirement. He remained a fixture at UCLA games played on a court named after him and his late wife, Nell, and celebrated his 99th birthday with a book he co-authored on how to live life and raise children.
Asked in a 2008 interview the secret to his long life, Wooden replied: "Not being afraid of death and having peace within yourself. All of life is peaks and valleys. Don't let the peaks get too high and the valleys too low."
Asked what he would like God to say when he arrived at the pearly gates, Wooden replied, "Well done."
Even with his staggering accomplishments, he remained humble and gracious. He said he tried to live by advice from his father: "Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day."
While he lived his father's words, many more lived his. Those lucky enough to play for him got it first hand, but there was no shortage of Wooden sayings making the rounds far away from the basketball court.
"Learn as if you were to live forever; live as if you were to die tomorrow," was one.
"Don't give up on your dreams, or your dreams will give up on you," was another.
Born Oct. 14, 1910, near Martinsville, Ind., on a farm that didn't have electricity or indoor plumbing, Wooden's life revolved around sports from the time his father built a baseball diamond among his wheat, corn and alfalfa. Baseball was his favorite sport, but there was also a basketball hoop nailed in a hayloft. Wooden played there countless hours with his brother, Maurice, using any kind of ball they could find.
He led Martinsville High School to the Indiana state basketball championship in 1927 before heading to Purdue, where he was All-America from 1930-32. The Boilermakers were national champions his senior season, and Wooden, nicknamed "the Indiana Rubber Man" for his dives on the hardcourt, was college basketball's player of the year.
But it wasn't until he headed west to Southern California that Wooden really made his mark on the game.
Wooden guided the Bruins to seven consecutive titles from 1967 through 1973 and a record 88-game winning streak in the early 1970s. From the time of his first title following the 1963-64 season through the 10th in 1974-75, Wooden's Bruins were 330-19, including four 30-0 seasons.
The bespectacled former high school teacher ended up at UCLA almost by accident. Wooden was awaiting a call from the University of Minnesota for its head coaching job and thought he had been passed over when it didn't come. In the meantime, UCLA called, and he accepted the job in Los Angeles.
Minnesota officials called later that night, saying they couldn't get through earlier because of a snowstorm, and offered him the job. Though Wooden wanted it more than the UCLA job, he told them he already had given UCLA his word and could not break it.
The Bruins were winners right away after Wooden took over as coach at UCLA's campus in Westwood in 1949, although they were overshadowed by Bill Russell and the University of San Francisco, and later Pete Newell's teams at California.
At the time, West Coast teams tended to play a slow, plodding style. Wooden quickly exploited that with his fast-breaking, well-conditioned teams, who wore down opponents with a full-court zone press and forever changed the style of college basketball.
Still, it would be 16 seasons before Wooden won his first NCAA championship with a team featuring Walt Hazzard that went 30-0 in 1964. After that, they began arriving in bunches, and top players such as Alcindor, Walton, Sidney Wicks and Lucius Allen began arriving every year in Westwood.
Each would learn at the first practice how to properly put on socks and sneakers. Each would learn to keep his hair short and face clean-shaven, even though the fashions of the 1960s and '70s dictated otherwise.
And each would learn Wooden's "pyramid of success," a chart he used to both inspire players and sum up his personal code for life. Industriousness and enthusiasm were its cornerstones; faith, patience, loyalty and self-control were some of the building blocks. At the top of the pyramid was competitive greatness.
"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are," Wooden would tell them.
Wooden never had to worry about his reputation. He didn't drink or swear or carouse with other coaches on the road, though he did have a penchant for berating referees.
"Dadburn it, you saw him double-dribble down there!" went a typical Wooden complaint to an official. "Goodness gracious sakes alive!"
Wooden would coach 27 years at UCLA, finishing with a record of 620-147. He won 47 NCAA tournament games. His overall mark as a college coach was 885-203, an .813 winning percentage that remains unequaled.
But his legacy as a coach will always be framed by two streaks - the seven straight national titles UCLA won beginning in 1967 and the 88-game winning streak that came to an end Jan. 19, 1974, when Notre Dame beat the Bruins 71-70.
After the loss, Wooden refused to allow his players to talk to reporters.
"Only winners talk," he said. A week later, UCLA beat the Irish at home by 19 points.
A little more than a year later, Wooden surprisingly announced his retirement after a 75-74 NCAA semifinal victory over Louisville. He then went out and coached the Bruins for the last time, winning his 10th national title with a 92-85 win over Kentucky.
After that victory, Wooden walked into the interview room at the San Diego Sports Arena to face about 200 reporters, who let their objectivity slip and applauded.
Long before that, though, the road to coaching greatness began after Wooden graduated with honors from Purdue and married Nell Riley, his high school sweetheart.
In a 2008 public appearance with Los Angeles Dodgers announcer Vin Scully, in which the men were interviewed in front of an audience, Wooden said he still wrote his late wife - the only girl he ever dated - a letter on the 21st of each month. "She's still there to me," he said. "I talk to her every day."
He coached two years at Dayton (Ky.) High School, and his 6-11 losing record the first season was the only one in his 40-year coaching career.
He spent the next nine years coaching basketball, baseball and tennis at South Bend (Ind.) Central High School, where he also taught English.
"I think the teaching profession contributes more to the future of our society than any other single profession," he once said. "I'm glad I was a teacher."
Wooden served in the Navy as a physical education instructor during World War II, and continued teaching when he became the basketball coach at Indiana State Teachers College, where he went 47-17 in two seasons.
In his first year at Indiana State, Wooden's team won the Indiana Collegiate Conference title and received an invitation to the NAIB tournament in Kansas City. Wooden, who had a black player on his team, refused the invitation because the NAIB had a policy banning African Americans. The rule was changed the next year, and Wooden led Indiana State to another conference title.
It was then that UCLA called, though Wooden didn't take the job to get rich. He never made more than $35,000 in a season, and early in his career he worked two jobs to make ends meet.
"My first four years at UCLA, I worked in the mornings at a dairy from six to noon then I'd come into UCLA," he told The Associated Press in 1995. "Why did I do it? Because I needed the money. I was a dispatcher of trucks in the San Fernando Valley and was a troubleshooter. After all the trucks made their deliveries and came back, I would call in the next day's orders, sweep out the place and head over the hill to UCLA."
After he enjoyed great success at UCLA, the Los Angeles Lakers reportedly offered Wooden their head coaching job at a salary 10 times what he was making, but he refused.
Nell, Wooden's wife of 53 years, died in 1985. He is survived by son, James, and daughter, Nancy Muehlhausen; several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

This season, Ricky Leonard was one of those players.
The 6-foot-7, 230-pound defensive end had a strong season for Middletown, and is now beginning to receive attention from Maryland assistant coach Greg Gattuso.
I got a good relationship with him, Leonard said. He came to go see Justin [Falcinelli] (2014 recruit) and he talked to me as well.
Leonard visited College Park twice over the course of the season, attending the Wake Forest game in October, and the Florida State game in November.
During his October visit, the junior prospect was given a tour of Gossett Team House ad was able to see the gym and tutoring areas. In comparison to Towson, which is the only other school he has visited thus far, Leonard was thoroughly impressed by what Maryland had to offer.
I liked [the facilities] a lot, I thought they were real nice, Leonard said. I thought they were a lot nicer than Towson's, probably because it's an a lot bigger school.
Prior to the Florida State game in November, Leonard was able to step onto Capital One Field and meet some more of the coaches and players.
He was also able to meet Randy Edsall for the first time, but said that it was only for a brief moment since game time was quickly approaching.
Leonard also likes the fact that Maryland will be playing against Big Ten competition in the coming years.
It's a lot higher competition. [Maryland is] a young team too, they're going to grow in the next couple of years, Leonard said. Playing in the Big Ten, I think, it will be a lot cooler than playing in the ACC.
Leonard has yet to receive an offer from any school, and though he said that he enjoyed his two visits to Maryland, he remains uncertain about the future and is still very open-minded in regards to choosing a school.
If [Maryland] were to offer me - I don't even know. It's way too soon to even say, Leonard said.
The Middletown High big man says that his best attribute as a defensive end is his speed, and claims that a few things that he could work on are his size and technique. Leonard aims to go up to 260 pounds for next season.
Besides Maryland and Towson, Leonard has also received interest from Rutgers, whom he plans to visit in the near future.

PITTSGROVE TWP. — The Palatine Culvert Bridge — the last structurally deficient bridge in the county — was opened to traffic Wednesday after about three months of construction.
County Road Supervisor Steve Schalick said the bridge, which is located on Lower Mill Road where it crosses the Palatine Branch, was starting to age and simply had to be upgraded.
The project was funded for $1 million from a New Jersey Department of Transportation 2011 Local Bridge Initiative grant. Freeholder Ben Laury, who also serves as public works chairman, said the project is expected to come in under $975,000 since it finished roughly a month ahead of schedule.
During the three months of construction, drivers traveling south on Lower Mill Road had to turn left on Sheep Pen Road to Olivet Road to get around the entirety of Palatine Lake. The detour would add roughly three miles to a driver's journey, Laury said.
"Having this bridge open will save significant time for our residents," he said.
The span of the bridge was completely overhauled and the road was repaved. Laury said they also placed stones around the bridge to limit erosion.
The night before the bridge opened, heavy rains in the area caused the Palatine Branch to rise up to the bottom of the bridge. Laury was happy to say that the road did not flood and they didn't experience any significant erosion.
After county officials cut the ribbon to officially open the bridge, the first person to go across was a man riding his bike. The bridge will see heavier traffic than that, but Freeholder Director Julie Acton said having adequate bridges is one of the county's biggest concerns.
"It's a top priority of the freeholder board to make sure our bridges and roads are safe," she said. "We go around and make sure to check the integrity of all of them."
Now that this final structurally deficient bridge has been taken care of, Laury said they are going to focus on a few other projects.
Two of the projects include work that needs to be done at the Willow Grove Lake dam and the Avis Mill damn at Camp Crocket. The Willow Grove project will be 80 percent funded by a grant from the federal government, and the Avis Mill project will be financed by a 2004 New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Dam Restoration Loan Program, according to Laury.
The other bridge that needs work is the wooden Buckhorn Bridge, in Lower Alloways Creek, Laury said. The bridge is on a dirt road and needs some planks replaced. Laury said the repairs have already been planned and would be done by county workers.

An exuberant-looking Christie Brinkley said she "can't really regret" her marriage to Peter Cook, noting that "out of this union came Sailor, my beautiful little daughter."
Triumphantly addressing the media after reaching a surprise settlement Thursday morning in her divorce trial from Peter Cook, Brinkley called the settlement "a very bittersweet moment." She added: "It really is the death of a marriage, but it's also I think a new start for all of us and I'm very pleased with the results today."
Brinkley, 54, received sole custody of the couple's two children, Jack, 13, and Sailor, 10, and gets to keep all 18 properties in the Hamptons – "several" places on Long Island and one house in the Turks and Caicos were being disputed. She also agreed to pay $2.1 million to Cook, 49, who was awarded "parenting time."
"I was here fighting for custody," she said. "I think a mother's greatest fear is somebody trying to take her children, trying to take custody of her children. That's what I was up against. And so I've won custody and decision-making, and that's really all I ever wanted."
When asked whether she has any regrets about the ugly trial going on as far as it did she said, "I really didn't have a choice. I was trying to settle the day I learned about the absolute truth about the facts, and I wanted to settle but unfortunately we could not reach an agreement until 6 o'clock this morning."
"We've had so little sleep we don't even know we've had such little sleep," she later quipped of the all-night negotiating.
She flashed an especially wide smile when asked about the dinosaur diorama in her hand – a school project of Jack's that was shown in court – and what grade Jack received for it. "I think he got distinguished," she beamed.
She also explained the peace sign earrings she sported Wednesday and Thursday: "I believe we all need to work everyday toward peace ... I'm really glad that today we found some peace."
Relaxed and upbeat, she laughed off a question about whether she has any thoughts of dating, announcing, "let's see how the summer goes."
In contrast, Cook hurried out of the courtroom ahead of Brinkley. While he rushed out he simply told reporters, "I got everything I've been asking for two years."
See the Hollywood marriages – Britney & K-Fed, Jessica & Nick and more! – that ended in a high-profile divorce on the covers of PEOPLE.

Dodo Dayao's Violator : Come Hell or High Water… Or Both
Caveat: Though I tried my best not to spoil the film, I've found that people actually have different ideas of spoilerage. So, take caution dear friends who don't want spoilers. Stop reading.

As far as I know, writer, director, and film critic Dodo Dayao first set out to make a horror film about two years back. That film was about a police precinct besieged by a strange force threatening to ruin everything and everyone in its path. It didn't make the cut for that year's CinemaOne Originals, but Dodo went back to the drawing board and retooled the first story.

After my great experience with Xiaomi's Mi3 and 10400 mAh Power Bank, I decided to complete the Mi Family by buying their very own in-ear headphones. And with Mi Philippines' recent announcement of a Mi Pop-up Store in SM Megamall happening on the last week of October 2014, perhaps this last article in the Family Mi series will help you decide if you should pop up for a visit and drink the Xiaomi Kool Aid.

If you read the first part of this Mi review series, you would know that I have been impressed with the Xiaomi Mi3 – my current daily smartphone. So impressed I am with its built, performance, and price tag that I decided to soak up the Mi experience some more by buying one of their power banks – the 10400 mAh variant.

I'll be upfront about this one: I've never owned an SSD before. The Crucial MX100 256GB is a first, and I have to say, it is awesome.
Continue reading Crucial MX100 256GB SSD – Bang for the Buck
For somebody who has always been interested with tech news and developments, I was fairly late to the smartphone party. In 2012, I finally bought one – a diminutive and seemingly-great-bang-for-the-buck Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini. As I have always been a practical buyer, my first Android Phone seems to be a wise choice: good reviews, decent specs (1 GB of RAM, okay screen), decent camera (a 5 MP snapper with HD video recording), and upgradeable to Android 4.0. And all these for the low, low price of PHP 6,400.

My taste in theater is neither eclectic nor tasteful – or at least, I wouldn't describe it as such. Rather, I think it's random more than anything else. There was Defending the Caveman and Love, Loss and What I Wore (both from CTE Productions at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza) and last year, there was Sa Wakas (from Culture Shock Productions and FringeMNL at the PETA Theater). This year, I have two plays in my must-watch list.
So last December 8, the VWCP (Volkswagen Club of the Philippines) hosted the 28th All VW Classic and Custom Car Show. We went to the Quezon City Hall on a cloudy Sunday morning to celebrate our collective love for the iconic Volkswagen. Like last year, the order of the day was to ogle at the various forms of VW love, and I didn't think it was possible, but this year's show was crazier than the last.

Our Graphic Design Certificate Program was developed by an advisory committee of design professionals representing a variety of disciplines. The program was designed to help you combine your artistic and technical talents to develop practical skills that employers are demanding.
See an overview table of required and elective courses in the program for more details. Courses in the program may be taken as standalone units or as part of the full certificate program.
The U.S. Department of Labor has projected 10% growth in employment for graphics designers between 2006 and 2016. In particular, web design and animation skills will be needed for the growing number of design projects for interactive media websites, personal digital assistants, smart phones, and video games.
To meet this growing demand, the program emphasizes good basic design principles, pre-press skills, and the use of current computer-based tools for page layout and digital image creation and enhancement. The program also covers how to translate a concept into a visual by hand.
Special emphasis is placed on instruction in running a graphic design business, including uncovering client needs, estimating costs, pricing and marketing your services, collaborating and negotiating effectively, and preparing contracts. In addition, satisfactory completion of a portfolio is required to earn the certificate.
Designed to be completed in six quarters on a part-time basis, the full program includes 104 course hours in required courses and a minimum of 100 course hours in elective courses. There are no program prerequisites other than an aptitude for art and design and basic computer skills. The program's small, hands-on courses are taught by successful designers and build on each other. And the small class sizes let instructors give students personal attention.
Classes are taught during evenings and weekends to accommodate the schedules of working professionals. Our flexible program lets you start any quarter you like and finish at your own pace. You may take as few as one or two classes a week and up to 13 quarters from the date of your first class to complete the program.

text: Hey Guys! Im looking for an internal DNS solution to be able to resolve my internal machines by name and not screw up external lookups. My home network has grown enough and im lazy enough that i dont want to keep trying to remember each machines ip address haha. I dont want a full blown AD type environment, and i know samba can act as a domain controller but ive never tried to use it as such. I dont need all the security stuff involved with an AD/LDAP type environment, just something purely for local name resolution. Short of editing the hosts files on every single machine is there something out there that does what ive described and makes it easy to manage if i add/remove a machine or change an IP address? It can be a dedicated box or I can add it to one of my many linux VMs. Hoping for a linux solution but it doesnt have to be. My pfsense box finally died and i never got around to trying to make it a local dns server. So now im on a stock asus router. (and i get alot more of my gig speed with it vs pfsense so im going to stick with it for now) Thanks for any suggestions. -- -------------- Nick Smith nick at nicksmith dot us -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ronaldo limps out of Portugal training
Cristiano Ronaldo left training with ice on his troublesome left knee on Thursday but Portugal team-mate Joao Moutinho dismissed concerns.
Moutinho claimed that the ice was 'normal' procedure as Ronaldo continues to recover from tendonitis in his left knee, while the Real Madrid attacker is also carrying a thigh injury.
Portugal will open their FIFA World Cup campaign against Germany in Group G on June 16 and Ronaldo was widely expected to start after playing over an hour in his country's final pre-tournament friendly against the Republic of Ireland on Tuesday.
The 29-year-old's prospects of playing in Salvador seemed to crumble on Thursday when photos emerged of him leaving the training pitch with ice strapped to his left knee but Moutinho was unfazed at his press conference afterwards.
"He has trained nearly 100 percent and has been well," the 27-year-old midfielder said.
"Using ice at the end? Others have also done this, it is normal in this type of situations."
Photos from the training session show Ronaldo joking with his team-mates before the ice incident, while media reports out of Brazil claimed he returned later, although he did not take part in any ball or contact work.1 comment

The Osceola National Forest is seeking volunteers to fill several positions.
"It's necessary to fill these vacancies prior to the upcoming peak summer months," said Debra Stucki, Recreation and Volunteers Manager. "This a great opportunity for volunteers to serve on national forest lands, enhance their skills and build an appreciation for the forest's natural and cultural resources."
Vacancies that need to be filled immediately by volunteers are the following:
They came from near and far throughout the day Saturday. Thrift shop addicts and the just-plain curious from Chiefland mingled with their counterparts from Bell and Bronson, from Fanning Springs and High Springs, from Old Town and Orlando and from numerous towns and cities in between.
Converging on the site of Levy County's newest bargain outlet, they came to participate in the grand opening celebration of Hospice of the Nature Coast's Thrift and Gift Shoppe at 2202 North Young Boulevard in Chiefland.
City approves final
reading of EAR
The city commission voted 5-0 in favor of approving the final reading of the city's Evaluation and Appraisal Report, part of the city's new comprehensive land use plan, which has been in the process for about two years.
Vice-Mayor Teresa Barron expressed concern over several amendments to the plan made by the Florida Department of Community Affairs after a lengthy review process.
Women's conference at
Miracle Vision
Miracle Vision Tabernacle Outreach Center Inc., 18680 N.E. 75th St., Williston, is hosting "No Woman Left Behind," its 2nd Annual Women's Conference this week.
The theme is "Can You Hear Me Now" based on the Book of Romans 10:17, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. "
Although Gov. Charlie Crist has included Levy County among 19 counties at risk from an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in an emergency declaration issued last week, there is no local declaration of an emergency in Levy.
The oil spill from the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that started on April 20 is located approximately 250 miles from Cedar Key and is discharging approximately 210,000 gallons per day. It has been estimated that the leaks have released 3.5 million gallons of oil into the gulf waters.
Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite (R-Spring Hill), in one of her final acts as the U.S. Congresswoman for the 5th District of Florida, showed complete disrespect for the people who elected her.
By manipulating the process, she took it upon herself to appoint her successor.
We are deeply disappointed.

Mum's the Word!
Is your mum the best in the world? Does she deserve something really special this Mother's Day? Would you like to be able to shout out to the whole Island just how much she means to you?
Writing a personal card or letter to someone to tell them how much they mean to you is one of the most thoughtful things you can do – and this year on Sunday 30 March, people can share their thanks with the public.
Jersey Post has teamed up with the Jersey Evening Post to offer a choice of three great prizes worth £250 each for five lucky winners of the Mum's the Word competition. People are being asked to write a letter explaining why, in no more than 250 words, their mum is the best in the world and letting her know just how much she means to her children.
The winner in each of five age-group categories will be able to choose from one of three prizes, which include a stunning bouquet of flowers from Eden by Claire delivered to your mum's door every month for a year; vouchers from the Royal Yacht to perhaps spend on dinner for two, a spa treatment for mum or even an overnight stay; or £250 worth of shopping vouchers from de Gruchy to go and treat herself to that something special. But everyone's a winner with Jersey Post's Mum's the Word competition, because all of the entries will be put on public display at the Broad Street Post Office so that everyone can read how special the nominees are.
Catherine Gasston, Marketing Manager at Jersey Post said: "Mother's Day is an important time for the family, when we can tell our mums just how highly we value them. Nothing says how much you care about someone than taking the time to write a personal letter or card. We want this competition to give people the opportunity to make Mother's Day this year really personal – and give all mums in Jersey a chance to win a great prize."
Competition entries must be hand-written, and must be sent to Jersey Post by Monday 24th March. There are five categories covering the age of those making the nomination, from under six to over 30 years old.

FERRISBURGH — The Ferrisburgh selectboard last week moved toward creating a town-wide parking law and lowering the speed limit on Old Hollow Road, where residents for years have been concerned about the speed of vehicles, particularly through traffic.

FERRISBURGH — The Ferrisburgh selectboard last week appointed a committee to talk to landowner Clark Hinsdale III about the possible purchase of a 2.2-acre lot he owns behind Ferrisburgh's town office building.
Hinsdale, a Charlotte resident who told the board earlier this month he plans to move to Ferrisburgh, where his family has roots, has offered the land to the town for $40,000. The parcel also abuts Ferrisburgh Central School and United Methodist Church property.
FERRISBURGH — When the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum launched the replica canal schooner Lois McClure back in 2004, then-LCMM Director Art Cohn anticipated the majestic vessel might complete a single, triumphant sailing tour and then serve as a very important exhibit on how maritime commerce was conducted in the region during the mid- to late 1800s.
FERRISBURGH — Ferrisburgh residents on Tuesday supported a $3.5 million Ferrisburgh Central School budget proposal, 246-217, or about 53-47 percent, in the town's second vote of the spring on an elementary school spending plan.
Voters in 22.5 percent turnout also backed, 270-194, a separate $20,000 article that will pay for a keyless electronic entry system for FCS like those now used at other local schools. FCS officials said that system will improve security at the school's main entrance.
FERRISBURGH — At the suggestion of Ferrisburgh Historical Society member Gail Blasius, the Ferrisburgh selectboard on May 6 voted to take over sponsorship and organization of the town's annual Ferrisburgh Day celebration.
Blasius told the board the day, modeled after the town's former "Good Neighbor Days" from the 1950s through 1970s, did not really fit into the society's mission and also stretched its organizational ability.
FERRISBURGH — Construction will begin soon on the Vermont Gas Systems pipeline extension that will serve Vergennes and run about three miles along Plank Road from a new New Haven distribution station to Route 7 and from there to the city, according to company officials.
Along the south side of Plank Road, the pipeline extension will pass through parts of Ferrisburgh and Waltham as well as New Haven, and it could serve homes in those towns, said Vermont Gas spokesman Steve Wark late last week.
FERRISBURGH — Ferrisburgh residents on Tuesday, May 13, will decide the fate of a $3.5 million Ferrisburgh Central School budget proposal that is about $120,000 lower than the FCS board's initial plan that lost on March 4, 450-279, or about 62-38 percent.
FERRISBURGH — The Ferrisburgh selectboard on Tuesday agreed to continue talking to Charlotte resident Clark Hinsdale III about possibly buying his 2.2-acre lot behind the town office building, a parcel that also abuts Ferrisburgh Central School and United Methodist Church property.
Hinsdale — a former Ferrisburgh resident who said he planned to move back to town — contacted the FCS board and town officials about a year ago and offered the land to the town or school for $40,000.
FERRISBURGH — The Ferrisburgh Central School board on Thursday made final a $3.5 million budget proposal that removes about $120,000 from the board's initial plan that lost on March 4, 450-279.
The board also set May 13 as a revote date. The Vergennes Union High School board will meet this Monday evening to adopt a new budget plan and is also expected to call for a May 13 vote, Addison Northwest Supervisory Union officials said.
FERRISBURGH — After discussion on March 18, the Ferrisburgh Central School board decided to ask Principal JoAnn Taft-Blakely and Addison Northwest Supervisory Union officials to come back at its April 10 meeting with a lower budget proposal to put before town voters.
That decision was made at the first FCS board meeting since its $3.62 million FCS budget proposal lost on March 4, 450-279, or about 62-38 percent. That defeat of an FCS spending plan is believed to be the first in the school's history.

text: Stetson Rowing Takes Three State Championships April 09, 2011 By: Susan Saint Sing Under beautiful blue skies with no wind Stetson's mens' and womens' crews became state champions in three different events on Saturday. Racing in the Florida Intercollegiate Rowing Association State Championship, Stetson took Gold in the Womens' Double and the Mens' and Womens' Light-Weight Fours. Callie Peacock and Caitlin Mooney started Saturday's racing off by winning with five lengths of open water over the field. Matt Lebron took second place in the mens' single. He went bow ball to bow ball with the winner, but at the finish line was short a boat length from gold. In the next two events, mens' and womens' pairs were both medal contenders with less than twenty meters to the finish when they fell short. Christy Ruane and Shay Martin, even though they had a silver medal slip through their fingers, will race at the Dad Vail National Championship in May and try to make the medal stand there. The mens' pair of Gary Marra and Mike Sigrist, though slipping out of first place with under twenty meters to go, redeemed themselves in the mens' light-weight four by winning gold. In exciting racing the mens' light-weight four of Garry Marra, Mike Sigrist, Josh Mena, and Bill Brady with Coxwain Erin Lee had open water over Georgia Tech to win in six minutes, forty three seconds. In the tightest race of the day the womens' light-weight four of Jaqueline Horbert, Christina Kapusta, Caitlin Mooney, and Caitlin Burke with Coxwain Kerry Burke. were down at the start but came back to win by half a length in 7 minutes, six seconds. The Stetson womens' open four of Christina Versace, Julia Pearce, Ashley Price-Dyment, Delia Hanna with Coxwain Maddy Briggs, came in fourth in Friday's heat and could not advance to Saturday's finals. Stetson Crew races next week at the U.S. Southeastern Regional Championships in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.Print Friendly Version More Headlines

While reading Cycling – Philosophy for Everyone: A Philosophical Tour de Force, I came across the following quote: "The mobility of the bicycle reminds us much more of the old dream of being as free as a bird in the sky than a trip on the discounted economy expressway that commodifies our experiences."
This one sentence not only captures the freedom of being a cyclist, but also the essence of personal branding. Uncovering, communicating, and managing your personal brand gives you the freedom to differentiate yourself, fly above others, and get noticed, rather than sit in crowd, blend in, and be ignored. William Arruda and Kirsten Dixson sum this up perfectly in Career Distinction: Stand Out by Building Your Brand (Wiley):
"When you are just one of many others with similar skills and abilities, you don't contribute to the diversity your organization needs to generate creative innovative ideas. Instead you become a commodity. And people don't get excited about commodities."
How can you avoid being a commodity, be free as a bird, and get people excited about your personal brand? Follow these 3 tips.
We often fall into the trap of identifying ourselves by our job title. While this is a valid representation of what we do, it actually groups us into the same category as everyone else doing the same type of job. Imagine if you introduced yourself the following way:
"We're in the business of human connection and humanity, creating communities in a third place between home and work."
Sounds like a pretty cool job and much better than if Howard Schultz, Starbucks President and CEO, simply said: "We sell good coffee."
You need to sell an EXPERIENCE and describe it in such a way so that it differentiates what you do from everyone else. Of course Starbucks prides itself on its coffee, but notice how Howard Schultz does not simply say they are in the business to sell coffee! The Starbucks coffee experience can be summed up in just a few words: great coffee in comfortable surroundings served by an attentive staff and produced by a company that cares about our world. This is certainly an experience!
What you can do right now:
Remove your job title in your LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, About.me profiles. Sell an experience that will give people a reason to follow, connect, friend, or add you to their circles. Instead of saying you are a "psychiatrist" tell others you are "The Shrink for Entrepreneurs who want freedom, wealth, and sanity" (@PeterShallard). Or, rather than identifying yourself as a "communications coach" say you are "The Evangelist for the global storytelling movement" (@getstoried).
If it is not unique it is a commodity and commodities compete on price. Remember, selling yourself as your job title does not make you any different from anyone else with the same title. When your are not showing the unique promise of value that you bring to the table, then people are not necessarily motivated to hire you and pay you a premium. By demonstrating your uniqueness you are promising an experience that others are willing to pay for.
Why are people willing to pay a premium for Starbucks coffee? Simply, we are attracted to Starbucks because we know wherever we are around the world we can easily walk into any Starbucks and have the same unique comforting experience. Their 'Third Place' experience even influences the design of their shops. While coffee takes center stage, the design is meant to make customers feel comfortable. Starbucks stores mix upholstered chairs and sofas with hard-backed chairs around tables. Most offer free electricity and Wi-Fi so customers can plug in and use their laptops. Soothing tunes are playing in the background and many locations even have a spot with books, newspapers, magazine, and games to encourage customers to settle in. They are offering a unique comforting experience that replicates that "third place between home and work."
What you can do right now:
Find something that you are passionate about and connect it to your job. For example, I combine personal branding strategy with cycling imagery. I always thought of cycling as separate from my work, but in my own 360Reach personal brand assessment it was clear that everyone identifies me by my energy and passion for cycling. Therefore, I decided to clearly, consistently, and constantly demonstrate this uniqueness by using a cycling image as well as the tag line: "Personal branding with a spin." Like a magnet it attracts people to what I do. They are intrigued by how I connect cycling with branding and want to know more.
Being good at what you do is no longer good enough, and simply waiting for others to recognize the good job you are doing is a waste of time. You must consciously act upon your authenticity and broadcast it to the world by standing out, showing up, and spreading the word. The question you need to answer is how do you differentiate yourself from all the others who are also doing a good job?
While Starbucks is about coffee, they differentiate this coffee atmosphere from other cafes in various ways. For example, Starbucks employees cannot wear strong fragrances that would interfere with the coffee aroma, and nearly all Starbucks around the world are non-smoking indoors. Interestingly, preserving the coffee-centric atmosphere was the reason that Starbucks abandoned its short-lived experiment into serving breakfast sandwiches. The smell of the sandwiches apparently overpowered the coffee aroma, making the shops smell like diners – an image that the company does not want to present.
What you can do right now:
I love the "Same/Different" exercise suggested by William Arruda. Simply take out a piece of paper, divide into two columns titled "Same" and "Different". Write down all the things in the "same" column that are similar between you and others doing the same type of work. Likewise, in the "different" column right down what differentiates you. Finally, look at everything in the "different" column and mark all the items that are "emotional attributes." These are the characteristics that provide the need and desire for people to connect with you rather than with others who have the same job or similar skill set. Use these characteristics to communicate how others will feel or what they will be like should they choose to hire, connect with, or engage with you.
By following these 3 tips people will be excited about you! Do you have any other tips? Please share your ideas below.

Geraldo Rivera Posts Shirtless Selfie on Twitter
After having turned 70 years old earlier this month, TV news magazine program host Geraldo Rivera posts a shirtless selfie on Twitter as he claims "70 is the new 50". The Fox News Channel contributor sent out the tweet early Sunday, July 21. He soon took it down, but not after it had already considerably gotten some attention online.
The "Geraldo at Large" host was aware early on that it would get some unfavorable reactions, particularly from his immediate family. "Erica and family are going to be so pissed...but at my age...," the TV personality wrote in parenthesis together with his age-defying message. Erica is his current wife and "family" referred to his five children from previous spouses.
After pondering on his actions, Rivera went on Twitter again, but this time his message was directed towards himself. "Note to self: no tweeting after 1 am," wrote the author/reporter, perhaps after realizing that as a respected journalist and with his affiliations with various networks and publications, he should have been more cautious in the thoughts that he shares online on social networking sites.
Prior to this latest tweet, Rivera had been the target of criticism last month for tweeting what many thought was a highly insensitive comment about reporter Michael Hastings who was killed in a car crash in L.A. at the young age of 33. Although he expressed his condolences, Rivera distastefully added, "hard to forget he destroyed career of 1 of our best fighting generals," referring to Gen. Stanley McChrystal.

In Pennsylvania, backers of same-sex marriage say people who don't like the idea would at least like this:
Millions of dollars in new revenue that would flow from taxes and fees, and the millions more in new spending at wedding-related businesses across the state.
"What Pennsylvanians need to clearly understand," said Ted Martin, executive director of Equality Pennsylvania, a gay-advocacy group, "is that by being so insular, by being so provincial, we are losing money."
While the Corbett administration prepares to defend the state ban on gay marriage in court - without help from Attorney General Kathleen Kane, who says she can't ethically support the prohibition - other states gain.

Action was mixed into midday, but stock market averages are holding modest gains heading into the final hour Tuesday. The Case Shiller Price Index, released early, was better than expected at -1.9 percent, but had no impact on opening trading. Sluggish action continued after the latest Consumer Confidence data showed a decline to 62 for June, from 64.4 in May and below expectations of 64. The underlying tone of trading remained cautious heading into midday on media reports that German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Europe won't have shared liability on debt. The euro fell to session lows, but is now little changed at 1.249 on the buck. Crude oil erased its early losses and gained 13 cents to $79.34. There also seems to be a modest move out of safe haven investments. Gold lost $14.5 to $1574 an ounce and the benchmark ten-year Treasury is off 8/32nd, bringing its yield to 1.63 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is now up 60 points and 10 points from session highs. The tech-heavy NASDAQ added 20. VIX slipped below the 20 "psyche level" and is off .76 to 19.62, amid very light volumes in the options market.4.9 million calls and 4.4 million puts so far.
Bullish Flow
MGM (NYSE:MGM) has moved out of negative territory and is now up a penny to $10.50 Tuesday morning. Options volume on the casino operator is about 14,000 calls and 1,100 puts. The top trade is a 4000-lot of Sep 14 calls for 8 cents when the market was 7 to 8 cents. 10,000 now traded. Sep 12 calls are the second most active. 2,300 contracts changed hands. 30-day ATM vols are up 2.5 percent to 43. The flow seems bullish this morning, and seems to express confidence in a rebound after three-month 27.5 percent decline in MGM shares.
Bearish Flow
Market Vector Mining Fund (NYSEARCA:GDX) slips 65 cents to $44.51 and recent trades on the ETF include an Aug 42.5 - 47 bearish risk-reversal for 17 cents, 10000X on NYSE-ARCA. The investor sold calls to buy puts and open a new position. The miners are down after gold slipped $14.5 to $1574 an ounce. The bearish combo doesn't look tied to stock and appears to be in anticipation of a move lower in the underlying shares through the August expiration (52 days).
Implied volatility Mover
MBIA (NYSE:MBI) adds 30 cents to $10.14 and recent trades on the mortgage insurance company include 1246 Aug 10 calls for 89 cents when the market was 88 to 89 cents. 5,358 now traded against 20,203.

TOP 10: Avengers boss over the million-dollar-club
By becoming the first ever movie to open above $200 million, at the North American box-office, The Avengers has smashed all projections. With this new high, The Avengers now leads a pack of box-office heavyweights. But how big is the margin?
1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
The first movie in the two-part finale, grossed an impressive opening of $125,017,372 when it released in 2010, and beat the records of all previous Harry Potter movies.
2. Iron Man 2
Benefiting from the surprise success of its prequel, the superhero sequel took the box-office by storm, with its $128,122,480 opening in 2010. And even stole the thunder from a boy-wizard.
3. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Despite releasing way back in 2006, the second part of Johnny Depp's adventure comedy, is firmly placed at number-8 on the charts, thanks to its still-very-cool, $135,634,554 opening.
4. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1
The much awaited first part of the Twilight finale, fell a bit short of trade expectations, but nevertheless kept studios happy with its $138,122,261 opening.
5. The Twilight Saga: New Moon
The second part of this Vampire romance, beat all conservative trade estimates in 2009 and gave a huge boost to the Twilight franchise, with its unexpected $142,839,137 opening. None of the subsequent movies could match New Moon's record, but the concluding part which opens later this year is expected to deliver a franchise-best result.
6. Spider-Man 3
With The Amazing Spider-Man all set for release, the reboot is almost sure to surpass its profitable predecessors. But 2007's Spider-Man 3 will always be a part of box-office history, for being the first ever film to touch the magical $150 million mark ($151,116,516) in its first three days.
7. The Hunger Games
Even though it had a strong pre-release buzz, nobody expected the first part of this bloodbath saga, to set opening records. But The Hunger Games surprised one and all across Hollywood. And being the only non-sequel title on the list, the staggering $152,535,747 initial, only multiplies the stakes for future releases in the franchise.
8. The Dark Knight
When it comes to a marriage of content and commerce, this is the ultimate gold-standard. The 2008 superhero epic lived up-to all the pre-release hype and wowed fans to notch up a mammoth $158,411,483 opening in North America. With The Dark Knight Rises making all the right noises, it remains to be seen if Nolan's Batman franchise can sign-off on a new high.
9. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
The finale of all finales, the Harry Potter movie series ended in style, by storming into record books with a $169,189,427 opening. For all recent biggies, this has been the coveted figure to beat.
10. Marvel's The Avengers
They came, they saw and they conquered. Hollywood's ultimate team of superheros invaded the box-office like many hulks rolled into one, by collecting a jaw-dropping $200,300,000 in the opening weekend. In less than a week since its release, the multi starrer has rewritten box-office history forever, and set a huge benchmark for all forthcoming tent-pole movies (including the new Spider-Man and Batman) to match.
