Gerard Depardieu Explains Airplane Incident
Gerard Depardieu is still baffled by the fuss his recent toilet trouble onboard a delayed flight caused, insisting fellow passengers lied about his behavior after the actor was banned from using the restroom.
The Green Card star tried to discreetly pee in a bottle when his plane to Ireland was delayed on the runway in his native France, but some urine spilled over onto the floor and Depardieu was asked to get off and board another jet as cleaners were called to mop up the mess.
But, speaking out for the first time about the toilet drama, the actor is adamant he was given no other choice because the flight attendant was so unreasonable when he politely asked to use the toilet.
Recalling the incident on Tuesday, during a satellite interview on newsman Anderson Cooper's new show, Depardieu explained, "I said, 'Please, Madam, can I go to the toilet?' She blocked the door with her foot and said, 'Sir, go back to your place (seat).' I was in my place and 30 seconds later, I said, 'Madam, I have a lot of pee... It's hurting me. I'm not sick, I'm not a terrorist, I just want to pee.' She said, 'No, go back to your place'.
"So I had a friend who had a bottle... so I took the bottle... and I pee (sic)! And it was so beautiful, you know, I was (relieved)... I'm not a monster, I'm just a man who wants to pee. Maybe she (attendant) was (having) a nervous breakdown then because I don't understand why she blocked the door... She yelled."
The drama escalated when the small plastic container began to overflow: "The bottle was too small... She (attendant) was crying. I said, 'Don't worry, I will clean, I will clean. It's nothing, it's just pee.'"
The toilet trouble became headline news - and Depardieu blames gossiping fellow passengers for spreading false rumors that he was drunk and belligerent.
He says, "Everybody was with (their) little cameras... and I saw (a plane) full of cameras and I don't (sic) know what was happening, I just pee (sic).
"You know, in France, you can become a journalist just like that: 'He was drunk! He pee (sic)! He showed the d*ckie!'"

Daddy TimAs Bucko once noted (now himself departed) you were the Mayor of AIDSmeds and as such it is meet and proper that the anniversary of your demise is noted.I hope that Bob is well. If he is not I hope he is comfortable.I think of you often.Sleep peacefully my love.Matty the Damned
Thanks Matty for the reminder about Tim, our dear Moffie who has always been missed here since he left us. Gone, but never forgotten, his always sage advice will be missed forever. RIP dear man.I missed being able to get together with Brent when I was down in Florida this year. His writings were wonderful and we miss Bucko as well.Glad to see you have returned to us Mattala.Jody
Joe K:
Dearest Tim.Not a day goes by when I do not think of you. I miss our "crack-of-dawn" talks and the time we spent together at AMGs. You helped to make me a better person and all I can offer is a simply "thank you."Your passing left a hole in my heart that will never heal, however, I promise to never mourn your passing, instead I will forever celebrate your life.All my love,Joe
Moffie's outgoing and outspoken nature inspired me. Although at times misunderstood by others, his heart was pure, his wisdom was limitless and his humor was pure genius. The last conversation I remember having with him was in Montreal, when he was explaining to me what the blue plate special was. He is sorely missed by all.

McKinley discusses national debt issues
PARKERSBURG – A battle over raising the debt ceiling may come sooner rather than later, according to a West Virginia congressman.
Rather than March, when the two-month delay in spending cuts expires, the nation may reach the existing $16.4 trillion limit in mid February, Rep. David McKinley, D-1st, said. The budget deal reached earlier this month to avoid the fiscal cliff and delay spending cuts until March also delayed a decision on raising the debt limit, possibly another $2 trillion, he said.
But unchecked spending may require a decision sooner than that, McKinley said.
"We may not be able to wait until March," he said.
The debt this week passed the $16.4 trillion limit set by Congress. Planners estimate it could be a matter of weeks before the government can't cover Social Security checks, federal contracts and the interest on bonds.
McKinley was in Parkersburg on Wednesday to meet with government representatives from Vienna and local union trades to get their opinions on national issues.
Congress earlier this year approved a bill extending the Bush-era tax cuts to individuals and families making less than $400,000 and $450,000 a year, and took action on spending reductions that were to kick in on Jan. 1 had Congress failed to act. McKinley and Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W. Va., who earlier said they supported the income threshold of $1 million in the so-called Plan B the speaker of the House pulled off the table, voted against the bill.
The bill also delayed a decision on the debt ceiling for two months.
Spending cuts will be the issue and the area of contention will be in entitlements such as Social Security and Medicare, McKinley said. While he would support defense cuts, those nearing retirement must be assured their benefits will be there as promised, he said.
However, among the proposals being discussed are means testing to determine if someone can be financially excluded from or to allow wealthy Americans to waive their benefits provided they could draw from their individual retirement accounts without paying taxes, he said.
"It's not a mandate, it's a choice," McKinley said.
McKinley said he is a member of the Tea Party caucus and agrees in principle with less government and less spending, but was opposed to a budget proposed by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., because of what he said were "draconian cuts" to programs such as those aiding senior citizens.
A solution won't be easy, McKinley said.
The philosophical divide is immense between the Democrats and Republicans, McKinley said. Democrats believe government spending can create jobs while Republicans believe economic growth is encouraged by the private sector, he said.
"These two ideological giants are fighting each other," McKinley said.

Behind The Scenes Of Hanna: Making An Action Heroine For The 21st Century
Not yet out of her teenage years, Saoirse Ronan is already an Academy Award nominee whose performances continue to impress. But when asked what method she utilizes to get into character, the actress replies, "I don't know whether I have one. I'm not the type of actor who lives through the character."
Even so, as she explains, "I want all the roles that I play to hold challenges. With lots of action and a layered character, Hanna had them for me. It's unlike any other drama that I've done. Here is a teenager who has been raised in a forest and has gotten all her education from her father; she's never even met anyone else before. We meet her as she goes out on her own, and when she does she is fascinated by everyone and everything she comes across. My favorite quality of hers is that she is non-judgmental; she shows an open mind to, and a fascination with, everything. She's a bit of a freak. But, I like that; I like freaks.
"Hanna discovers life for the first time, so the movie is not just about a girl who kicks butt – though she certainly does!"
Ronan embraced the concept. She remarks, "[Director] Joe Wright talked with me about how – as in a fairy tale – someone goes out into the world and it is overwhelming and scary and beautiful. Like any teenager, I can empathize with Hanna's desire to see the world, but for her it happens at 100 miles an hour."
The actress – who would turn 16 during filming of Hanna – had boarded the project even before her once and future director, Wright. It was he who had cast Ronan in Atonement nearly four years prior, with their resulting collaboration earning awards and accolades all over the world.
She reflects, "I always thought that if we were going to work together again, it would have to be something different from what we did before.
"Joe and I didn't need to find our way; we are very in sync, even more so than before because we can tell if either of us is not completely happy, and we trust each other to try different things. Both Joe and I sympathize with Hanna because she does what she does to protect the people she loves."
Seth Lochhead had written the original screenplay for Hanna in 2006. The script then continued on through development. Academy Award-nominated producer Leslie Holleran, who has successfully brought to the screen a number of literary adaptations, remarks that "it's extremely freeing – and even more terrifying! – to work on an original story. Hanna goes on a journey, and developing the script for a couple of years was a journey in its own right.
"With Hanna, Seth had written a character of mythic quality. She is a stranger in a strange land – namely, our world. I was intrigued by the human connections she would make."
Holleran adds, "I wanted to find a director for whom this movie would be a departure. Joe's strong take was exploring the story through the prism of a fairy tale. What was also exciting was his thinking in terms of the action, the character elements, and even social commentary; this is a female empowerment story.
"I believe that his deep familiarity with Saoirse and what she is capable of as an actor gave him a confidence to be ambitious with the material."
Once Wright was confirmed as the film's director, Lochhead reports, "Joe invited me back to work on many scenes – ones that had been in the script since 2006, as well as ones that had come into it in the years since.
"I felt like Joe understood what I was trying to do, and I could see where he was coming from, with the story. We saw the characters the same way, so it was very exciting to go back into Hanna's world."
At the start of the film, the only person Hanna has in her world is Erik, her widowed father. Actor Eric Bana remembers, "The script reminded me of…nothing; I thought, 'I haven't seen this film before.' I loved that this movie has a teenaged girl as the main character; what an exciting opportunity for Saoirse at this age. Joe's take on the story fascinated me, so I quickly jumped on board.
"Hanna has to grow up and take on responsibilities, as her parent relinquishes control. I'm a parent myself, and I saw Hanna as a heightened version of every parent's nightmare of their child going off for the first time."
Bana was also drawn to his character's complexities. He notes, "There are very traditional fatherly qualities to Erik; he's a protector and a teacher. He's forever been preparing Hanna to survive battles both mental and physical, so he's also like a cruel drill sergeant with her.
"Yet, when a parent has done a great job of protecting their child from the world, the harsh realities out there are that much more shocking for the child, and Hanna is in real danger."
The threat to Hanna is incarnated by Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett; she portrays the film's third major character of Marissa Wiegler, the cold-steel magnolia CIA agent who once upon a time worked in the field with Erik. Now based in Langley, VA, Wiegler's life has been "built around the telling of lies and the holding of secrets, and she has given her all to her job," notes the actress.
As part of researching the role, Blanchett spoke with a CIA agent who illuminated for her "the tension that exists between those in the field and those who are at headquarters, in Langley."
She elaborates, "Marissa worked undercover in Germany in the 1990s, and relished the cut-and-thrust of covert operations. The one she was involved with Erik in failed and was closed down, so she harbors incredible resentment towards the agency about the whole thing as well as self-loathing. When Erik and Hanna reappear, she goes back into the field to close them down. Finding Hanna starts out as a professional necessity, but becomes pathological, for her. She wants to possess this child; it's a bit like the Wicked Witch from the Hansel and Gretel story. The fairy tale elements add a heightened quality to the scenes."
Like Ronan, Blanchett had a previous professional tie to Wright. She reveals, "Joe and I were preparing another project together, and that fell through. Then he sent me this script, which terrified me; my partner noted that I'd never had a reaction like that to a screenplay.
"So Joe and I got to work; it was important to him that Marissa be from Texas, and I tried to get the accent subtly so that it wasn't overpowering."
Already at work was Wright's longtime production designer, three-time Academy Award nominee Sarah Greenwood. The director's frequent collaborator discussed adding "a fairy tale element through design, costume, and performances, and bring that quality to the fore.
"Lots of fairy tales originated as stories of warnings to children. As soon as Hanna steps into the world that Marissa inhabits, she learns fast lessons."
Costume designer Lucie Bates adds, "Sometimes the dark fairy tale aspect was to be almost subliminal; Joe's vision of Marissa as the Wicked Witch of the story meant that her colors would be red and green. Sometimes it was to be more open, as with Hanna and Erik's cabin."
Greenwood's team, which per usual included set decorator Katie Spencer, worked with local craftsmen and "really built our characters' log cabin out in the woods to look like it had been there for years," marvels Bana.
The production designer reports, "Snow was the starting point in our design. The story begins, and the audience arrives in a place, and you don't know where it is, what century it is, or who the characters are. Hans Christian Andersen was our inspiration, but we expanded on tradition to introduce our interpretations – including the book that Hanna has had at home."
Blanchett adds, "Joe's introducing a fairy tale aesthetic into the film draws on his own background in puppet theatre.
"As a director, he creates a safe environment where you can make a few mistakes, and then hopefully you make better decisions. Joe's attention to detail is such that one minute he would be fixing my hem, the next helping to paint a set, and the next calling for the lens numbers. He is involved in every aspect of filmmaking."
On Hanna, there was a new aspect for Wright to explore; putting the actors through a detailed regimen for rigorous action scenes. This provided an ideal opportunity to bond the actors playing father and daughter. Bana recalls, "Saoirse and I did some of our training together, and she was well-prepared, with great coordination. She was better than some of the men I've worked with over the years. It's often harder to fight with an actor than a stunt person, but Saoirse was committed and engaged. Our fight scenes were unique, with a father teaching a daughter and not just two people going after each other and one winning.
"Turns out that her arm's length reach is very long, and almost the same as mine. I had to be careful in our fight-training scenes together because those fists come at a great rate and with real force. I had to be very cautious not to hurt her – and not get knocked out by her. I've worked with a lot of guys who are not as tough as Saoirse is."
"I know I hurt Eric a few times," admits Ronan. "But Joe did tell me to go for it."
"Saoirse and I also had a good time ripping into each other because, she being Irish and me being Australian, we were kind of kindred spirits in our senses of humor; hers is wicked," reveals Bana.
Bana had experience in the physical arena from his other movies, but on Hanna stunt coordinator and fight choreographer Jeff Imada (fight stunt coordinator on both The Bourne Ultimatum and The Bourne Supremacy) had to "teach Eric some things to fit his character – and Hanna's, since the father is training the daughter."
Bana points out, "This was a little different for me because of the hand-to-hand combat – which I actually hadn't done a lot of in earlier movies. There are physically demanding scenes between Hanna and Erik that have emotionalpunch as well."
Given that Hanna is someone who has been in training for as long as she can remember, Imada began work with Ronan well ahead of production, while the actress was still publicizing her film The Lovely Bones in Los Angeles. He reports, "I put her through a few tests to get a feel for her body mechanics, and to ascertain how much work we needed to do to make her look convincing as a teenager trained to a high level of skill by her father, who himself was trained by a government agency."
Wright wanted the fight scenes to look as naturalistic as possible. Given the setting that was being established for Hanna's upbringing, Imada introduced an element of the wild into the fighting style. He explains, "Hanna is surrounded by wildlife; she has learned a keen awareness from animals, how to survive and how to fit into and live in the landscape."
"When she kills, to her it's like killing in the wild, from her upbringing," offers Ronan.
Imada comments, "Saoirse has a slight build, so she could be agile, moving quickly and with stealth. I incorporated martial-arts kicks, aerobic exercises, and basic boxing and grappling moves into our training. We adjusted Saoirse's diet to help build muscle. We also worked with weapons, using sticks so that they would become extensions of her arm."
The idea was to "mold all this into her, so that when it came to the fight scenes Saoirse would be able to summon all of this, immediately convincing the audience – and that she wouldn't tire easily!"
Life began to imitate art; Imada trained with Ronan for six weeks, with the teenager working "five, six hours a day – and she never complained," he notes. "I sometimes had to tell her when to quit. She was determined to come across as Hanna. I was really impressed with her."
Ronan proudly notes that she ended up doing "quite a few of the stunts myself," yet admits that the first days of training were punishing; "Joe warned me, but I thought, 'I'll be fine, I swim and run [regularly].' I've always been quite athletic.
"Well, there was a lot more involved than I thought there would be. I got into the gym and had to start lifting weights and pushing bars over my head and running on treadmills every single day. It all paid off. I loved learning all the physical stuff; doing martial arts centers you."
One martial arts discipline that Ronan particularly appreciated was "wing chun, which we used a lot because Hanna would be fighting people bigger and stronger than she is, and would have to use their strength against them. But Jeff would also put Hanna's own spin on the styles."
Imada says that he followed Wright's mandate to eschew an over-the-top fighting style in favor of "everyday, real moves that can be used in self-defense. So although she enjoyed knife work, we also taught Saoirse to work with no weapons."
"It's easier if you've got weapons," comments Ronan. "But to me it was more like dancing than anything else; it's still choreography, after all."
Bana remarks, "Joe had made it clear early on that he hates seeing a lot of editing cuts in fights – as do I – and that there would be sequences where he wasn't going to cut away. So the fight scenes in long takes, as we were doing, had to be accurate and planned out with Jeff and Joe."
Following up on the memorable uninterrupted sequences Wright conceived and executed in Atonement, The Soloist, and the miniseries The Last King, in one key sequence in Hanna the camera tracks Bana through a long steadicam take. In-character as Erik, he goes below ground into a train station to evade a special ops agent, only to have to fight off four at once. That sequence alone – with its elements of martial arts and street fighting – made the movie "the most physical picture I've ever done," states Bana.
Blanchett also took her action scenes seriously. She reports, "I told Jeff that I didn't want to look like 'a girl' holding a gun. He reassured me that women holding a gun often look more natural than men doing so, since the women are not trying to emulate Clint Eastwood or a cowboy."
Bana praises his fellow Australian, stating that "Cate's interpretation of this villain is great. She is a fantastic actor to have hunting you down!"
Ronan adds, "Cate is someone I look up to. I admire her work ethic and her professionalism. Sharing a scene with her, she gives you so much – yet manages to be so contained and not give away too much when she doesn't need to.
"Eric is a terrific actor and is lovely to be around. He is like a ray of light on the set. He's hilarious, and would keep me smiling on the coldest days in Finland."
With financial incentives and considerable logistical support from the North Finland Film Commission, Wright and the locations team selected for Hanna and Erik's "neighborhood" a landscape of breathtaking natural beauty around Kuusamo, just on the south border of Lapland.
"It gave us such scale and scope, and it was magical," says Greenwood. "We were 25 miles south of the Arctic Circle, and 25 miles from Russia. There were trees that Dr. Seuss could have sculpted."
Some of the shooting sites were accessible only by snowmobiles. The vastness of the snowy wilderness also served to establish the physical reality of the characters' existence and capabilities. Director of photography Alwin Küchler consulted with Finnish peers and crew beforehand to be prepared for camera complications in certain temperatures.
Sure enough, the temperature went as low as 33 below zero during the Finland shoot. "I prefer Irish weather, at least when it doesn't rain," muses Ronan.
Holleran recalls, "In the morning, the steam from the river covered people's eyelashes and mustaches – among other things – in frost."
Ronan notes, "Finland did bring out the fairy tale aspects of the story. We were shooting on a frozen lake, surrounded by pine trees covered in snow.
"But that kind of cold affects everything you do, especially in fight scenes which require muscle memory. In that first week of shooting, the cast and crew all pulled together fast."
When not acting and/or fighting on-camera, Ronan and Bana were covered up in blankets and long capes; they had also been schooled beforehand about hypothermia risks, as part of local production company Helsinki Film's careful prep work with cast and crew.
Shrugging off the cold were animals on call for this leg of the shoot, ranging from wolf puppies to snow foxes to reindeer.
Imada's fight choreography was shored up to allow for the difficulties of the ground terrain. Bana remembers, "In sequences where Saoirse and I were stick-fighting, when the bamboo hits your knuckles in below-zero temperatures you really feel it…
"Truly, Finland and the other locations added so much to the film and enhanced this story's qualities."
From Finland the Hanna unit traveled to Bavaria, in southeast Germany, near the border with Austria. Filming took place around Bad Tölz, in the shadow of the Alps. The weeklong stint there was for interior and exterior scenes of Erik and Hanna's log cabin. Temperatures were higher than those in Finland – enough so that a portion of the snow had to be artificially generated.
Lochhead marvels, "Walking onto the cabin set was surreal. I was surprised at how much of a physical approximation it was of what was in my mind when I wrote about it. The feeling was, I knew this place well and somehow this whole crew was aware of it."
The screenwriter reflects that for him the story took shape beginning "with an image in my mind, of a girl running among the trees and hunting a reindeer. Then I tried to explain it as best I could. When I saw Saoirse in-character, I thought, 'Wow. She saw into my head, too.'"
Elsewhere in Germany, filming took place at Berlin's storied Studio Babelsberg, while Berlin locations stood in for CIA headquarters in Langley. Bana enthuses, "For me, there were no days in the studio, and it was exciting to film on real locations – including my swimming sequences!"
Continuing across Germany – a feat made possible for the production by local and regional subsidies through the German state feature film fund DFFF – the main location in Berlin was Spree Park, an abandoned amusement park in the East of the city. "An amusement park, after the lights are turned off and the glitter has faded, has a sinister air," cinematographer Küchler notes appreciatively.
A boon to Greenwood and Spencer and their team, the now-derelict Spree is littered with disused rides, rusting structures, elaborately crafted animals, and vacant control booths. Within the grounds of the park, they constructed Grimm's House, where Hanna encounters Knepfler (played by Martin Wuttke, who was seen as Hitler in Inglourious Basterds). The structure of the house intentionally mirrors that of the cabin in the woods, but the garish plastic figures and colorful décor are a long way from the naturalistic home that Hanna has journeyed from.
Hamburg's infamous red-light district was the site of another location that would seem to have been ready-made for the film; Isaacs' nightclub, which Marissa visits expressly to bring him into the hunt for Hanna, is portrayed by the Safari Club. The latter is the only remaining live sex club in Germany; it retains its vintage 1960s interior, which the production was not allowed to alter in any way since the décor is legally protected. Additionally, filming had to be completed by 10:00 PM so that the Safari could open for business.
Isaacs is played by Tom Hollander, whom audiences will recognize from numerous films including two prior for Joe Wright – that is, if they recognize him at all. Ronan muses, "Tom plays Isaacs in a way that I'd never have imagined from the script; it's unique. I can't say I admire the character's dress sense, but I admire him for wearing those clothes – most of which Tom suggested to Lucie and Joe!"
On a higher aesthetic plane, the "observation area" that Hanna is sequestered in early on was designed as "an homage to Ken Adam's brilliant 'War Room' set in Dr. Strangelove," says Greenwood.
Filming next took place in Morocco, "where the thermostat twice reached 122 degrees," says Holleran. "We quickly learned to wrap scarves around our heads to keep cool."
The first stop in Morocco was in the deserts around Ouarzazate, a town known as the "door to the desert." Moving into the center of town, cast and crew found themselves at work along the road of the Kasbahs, which runs towards Zagora and is the last stop for camel trains before Timbuktu.
"We could actually order 200 camels, and they would appear promptly," remarks Greenwood. In addition to fashioning a camel marketplace, her team transformed an existing structure into a rundown hotel.
Audiences will get a good sense of the area, what with sequences where Wright again orchestrated sustained tracking shots with Küchler and the camera department.
Actor Jason Flemyng remarks, "When you're part of a shot like that, the pressure is on – especially if you're coming in at the end of it! We did well, because the one take that got messed up was because a camel smashed into the camera. It's so exciting to be a part of that; there's one reason I wanted to do a Joe Wright movie."
Ronan reports, "There's this beautiful shot of Hanna in the marketplace in Morocco that we hold the whole way through. Morocco has very intense heat and light; it was the greatest contrast to where we had started out weeks earlier, in Finland."
The unit went across the Atlas mountains to the Atlantic coastal port of Essaouira, for another contrasting landscape; buffeted by winds from the ocean, Essaouira is a popular surfing destination and was one of the last places visited by music icon Jimi Hendrix.
"We brought Spain to Morocco," adds Greenwood. "To film the [family's] Spanish campsite there meant bringing over 50-odd tents. Pitching them and keeping them standing was a challenge."
Morocco was the final location destination for the Hanna troupe, if not for Hanna herself; after Hanna makes her action-packed escape from confinement, she finds herself in the desert of Morocco, and is given a lift by a holidaying English family as she plans the journey north to Berlin to reunite with her father. Ronan notes, "It's here where she first begins to see the real world, hears music, perceives television and much more.
"I loved filming with the family; I call them that because I could see how all of them – Olivia Williams, Jason Flemyng, Jessica Barden, Aldo Maland – were already close. Also, in contrast to the intense scenes with everyone else, Hanna's ones with them are mainly comedic."
Ronan plays many of them opposite fellow teenage actress Barden, fresh from stealing all of her scenes in Tamara Drewe.Barden "loved the relationship between Sophie and Hanna. They're like two little flowers, and are intrigued by each other because they're complete opposites.
"We all know someone like Sophie; she's the popular girl at school, and it must be exhausting being her because she's obsessed with how she looks. But she's about to have the holiday where you grow up and then go back to school a different person."
Barden notes that "working with someone so close to our own age, Saoirse and I got friendly; we'd sing Lady Gaga songs together all the time.
"Sophie and Hanna's friendship in the movie is built around getting to know and understand why the other person is the way they are; their differences bring them together, and at the end of the day they're both teenage girls trying to find their way in the world."
Barden confirms Ronan's intuition that the on-screen family had bonded off-screen. "When that volcano went off in Iceland, we ended up spending about 18 hours in a car together [traveling]," she reveals. "We got comfortable with each other."
Her on-screen parents Flemyng and Williams couldn't help but set that tone, for, as Flemyng quips, "I've killed Olivia, and I've divorced Olivia! You see, she and I have worked together so many times now and the dynamic of 'our marriage' is always the same; she's in charge, and slightly disgusted about how I behave…"
Barden offers, "Jason is so funny that it was purely his fault when we would detour from the script. But Joe Wright liked how natural we were with each other, and encouraged that. He supervised the organized chaos of us."
Williams felt that she knew her "character of Rachel very well; I've met this woman. There are several strong women in Hanna, and mine stands for motherhood – of a particular 21st-century kind, where you've read a lot of parenting manuals. Every member of her family thinks that Hanna is like them – and Rachel is no exception – and wants to write their own version onto the blank page that is Hanna.
"Joe lets actors have creative input. The more I talked with him, the more I had the slightly alarming feeling that anything you say in an unguarded moment – especially about your character – might end up in the script. And when you work with Jason, there is always room for improvisation…"
Flemyng clarifies that "Joe did let us improvise – or, as we actors call it, 'nick bits.' I said, 'I'm going to be nagging at you and asking you questions,' and Joe told me that it was fine and that actors who have no imagination are what drive him mad. As a director of actors, he's very precise."
Bana praises Wright as having "a great sense of humanity, as a person and in his work. He is able to communicate what the scene is about and what he sees in his head, but I know I will still be surprised along with audiences when I see the finished film."
"Through Joe, this script comes to life in different and unexpected ways," remarks Blanchett, who also feels that audiences will once again be impressed by the young woman playing Hanna. She states, "Saoirse is an extraordinary actor and an incredible presence, self-possessed and unaffected. She connects with things by drawing on her own experiences. She has a rare spirit.
"I had worked with her [actor] father on [the 2003 movie] Veronica Guerin. When I bumped into him at the Oscars ceremony in 2008, it was then that I realized that the little child who used to visit the set was one of the year's nominees – Saoirse."
No matter which challenging roles she takes on in the future, Ronan is now that much better prepared. "I've still got a few of the moves that I learned on Hanna," she smiles.

Animal Profile - Box Turtles
Box TurtlesOrnate "Pandora"Three Toed "Moe" and "Maggie"
Pandora and Moe were donated to the Sacramento Zoo in the early 80's, and Maggie was donated to the Zoo in the early 90's. Maggie, Moe and Pandora get fed a vegetable shred mix everyday. This mix contains yam, carrot, broccoli, chard, collard greens and romaine. Once a week they get earthworms added on top, which they enjoy!
Box Turtles get their name because they have a hinge on the bottom of their shell which allows them to close their shell completely, like a box! This allows them to stay protected from predators. There are many subspecies of Box Turtles, and the types that we have are Ornate Box Turtles and Three Toed Box Turtles. This type of turtle is a land turtle with nails/claws instead of webbed feet and therefore cannot swim. Although this animal is popular in the pet trade, please consider the fact that the box turtle has the potential to live over 100 years.

"From this bag here, why, I can pull most anything imag'nableHammerspace is the notional place that things come from when they are needed, and where they go back to when not. The term was fan coined as the place cartoon characters and anime/manga characters would store the overly-large hammers and assorted weaponry they had a propensity for hitting each other with, especially for comedic effect. The actual location of hammerspace is very hard to determine. There seems to be a great deal of it behind people's backs and on the opposite side (from the camera, that is) of thin things like lampposts and slender trees. It also hides in people's coats, closets, clown cars, large sacks, and occasionally down their pants. Further research into the exact location of Hammerspace awaits solution of a few more basic questions. Such as: "What happens when you turn a Bag of Holding inside out?" and "Why is the inside of the TARDIS only that much larger than its exterior?" (Notice that, while we have discussed Hammerspace in great detail, we'll have to stop here, as we can't even touch Hammertime as a concept.) It's also referred to as "hyperspace", but that term gets a little confused with the SF term related to Faster-Than-Light Travel (see Subspace or Hyperspace). Just to confuse things further, "subspace" is a word used in Transformers fandom for Hammerspace. It is called "katanaspace" in Highlander fandom, "back pockets" in the cartoon roleplaying game Toon, and referred to simply as "Elsewhere" in the Fantasy Kitchen Sink roleplaying game Exalted. There are multiple versions, in order of size:
Like office desks and lava lights and Bert, who is a cannibal."
Like office desks and lava lights and Bert, who is a cannibal."
— Yakko Warner, Animaniacs
- Basic Hammerspace: This version contains only a few things, not because it is limited in capacity, but because that is all it is ever used for—for example a large weapon, or Optimus Prime's trailer. It is usually played for convenience, and most viewers give it a Hand Wave, although there is occasional lampshading.
- Game Hammerspace: Used frequently in games—many of your inventory items are much too large or too heavy to be carried normally, and this is where they are stored until they are used. Game Hammerspace may or may not be infinite, depending on whether your inventory has a limited number of items, but it still holds many things without spoiling the lining of your coat.
- Infinite Hammerspace: This version is played with a bent towards comedy. It can traditionally hold as much as the joke requires it to hold, may have multiple dimensions to its capacity (eg somebody looking in and finding one thing, closing the 'door' and looking in again to find something else), and often gets larger as the show goes on.
- Bag of Holding
- Bottomless Magazines
- Hammerspace Hair

- Hammerspace Parachute
- Hyperspace Arsenal
- Hyperspace Holmes Hat
- Hyperspace Mallet
- Hyperspace Wardrobe
- Misleading Package Size
- Rummage Fail
- Shake Someone, Objects Fall
- Stomach of Holding
- Talking with Signs
- Treasure Chest Cavity
- Trouser Space
- Victoria's Secret Compartment
- Wallet of Holding

- The GEICO gecko is apparently an expert at using hammerspace; he is shown to be able to hide a cell phone and wallet larger than his entire body on his person, confusing his boss. Further confusing the boss is that neither he nor the viewer sees the gecko produce the items. The cell phone was already on the table and the wallet is seen only after he turns back around after he talks to a waiter.
- Cara Confused from the UK's Confused.com ads has been shown to pull various objects from her pocket, including a house! Many people have "confused" this for something dirtier, as the way every instance is animated seems very out of context.
Fan Works
- General: The term "Hammerspace" originated in Fanfic, most likely for Ranma ½, though the effect itself stems back to the earliest days of animation and graphic fiction.
- A Crown of Stars: The Avaloni soldiers know how creating their own pocket space.
- In chapter 53:
Shinji:Where did you get this?
TJ:Holdout Pocket technique. A little spatial fold tied to your personal space, good for keeping an emergency backup weapon or something handy. I also keep cold drinks in mine. Its not a hard trick to learn. First year Weapon Theory stuff. I could probably teach you pretty quickly if youve got a gun or a knife youd like to try it on.
- In chapter 53:
- Heavily used in Black Queen, Red King, where there's a spell to generate it.
- Thousand Shinji: Asuka instinctively summoned axes and other bladed weapons out of thin air. She did not knew where she pulled them from or where they went go to. She only knew she was brandishing a weapon whenever she need one and it disappeared after fulfilling its purpose.
- In the Jackie Chan Adventures and Teen Titans crossover fanfiction A Shadow of the Titans, Jade mentally lampshades this with Suzano and his staff (bonus points for actually using the word "hammerspace").
- Mercury uses and abuses the Keeper's storage ability in Dungeon Keeper Ami to great effect. It can be used to construct complicated machinery and architecture, store spells for later deployment, catch falling minions and deposit them safely, and teleport.
- As a fanfic of the above, the Keepers of Dungeon Keeper Of Love And Justice have the same abilities.
- Calvin grabs a bicycle out of nowhere in Calvin and Hobbes: The Series. "Hey! Where'd you get that bicycle?"
- Nanaki (Red XIII) seems to have this in the fic "Courage to Change the Things You Can." It's used as the story's 'real world' explanation for the massive amounts of storage space the game gives you, but no one else understands how he's doing it and whenthe fic's O.C. main character finally gets mad enough about it to demand an explanation Red replies "I understand your confusion. But I like all of you too much to risk making your primitive hominid brains explode from the revelation."
- Lampshaded in the Memoirs of InuYasha's father. The narrator several times wonders where his clothing and equipment go when he transforms into a dog.
- Later hilariously exploited when the characters need to carry a large amount of luggage, so just give it all to the narrator and have him turn into a dog to whisk it all away to Hammer Space.
- In James Bond fan film Diamonds Cut, terrorist sniper at the beginning of London scene uses a laser sight. Try as hard as you might, there is no way youre going to find it on his rifle, probably because the actual effect was obtained through the use of laser pointer.
- Homestuck High; Eridan carries a guitar in his pocket. Particularly bizarre in that the canon actually has sylladexes, a form of technology which would actually permit this, but they seem to be absent from the rest of the fic.
- Used and discussed in the fanfic Tails of the Old Republic, a crossover/ Fusion Fic between Sonic the Hedgehog and the videogame Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Tails basically carries a portable pocket dimension in his tails, and he even calls it Hyperspace Inventory. It's not perfect, however, and Tails feels the weight of everything he's carrying, and his hammerspace can implode if he loses all his Chaos power. Carth Onasi eventually dubs it "tailspace".
- Loopers in The Infinite Loops have what they call a subspace pocket. Not only can these hold quite a bit, they also carry between loops. The oldest loopers are said to be able to carry entire solar systems in theirs.
- In the Darkwing Duck fanfiction series, Negaverse Chronicles, Quackerjack tends to pull random toys/weapons, cups of coffee, and other assorted object out of... somewhere.
- In Romance and the Fate of Equestria, Anti-Hero Venni wears leather garments covered in pockets, from which she produces a variety of weapons and other useful supplies. Falls into this trope when she produces a wrecking ball and a hang glider, which are apparently collapsible.
- In A Long Journey Home, Jasmine and Myrddin both have one for their Focii. It apparently works but storing them in their soul.
- The Inventories from Tower of God create the illusion of this, but actually, they are just invisible.
- In The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny and its video, Abraham Lincoln "took an AK-47 out from under his hat / And blew Batman away with a rat-tat-tat-tat".
- Used as a literal Ass Pull in Sherry Vine's and Peppermint's Telephone Parody, where various utensils are pulled out off Sherry's tush... including a ladder!
- Thor of Norse Mythology could make his hammer Mjölnir shrink to an incredibly tiny size, and be pulled out of seemingly nowhere, and is perhaps the first user of this trope. Another god owns a ship that he can fold up and stick in his pocket.
- In traditional Chinese folklore, many powerful people essentially had sleeves that could store everything. Being trapped in one was generally a sign that you were screwed.
Other Sites
- SCP Foundation
- SCP items labeled "ectoentropic" will likely implement this trope in some fashion since it means the object generates matter and/or energy in an anomalous manner.
- SCP-049 ("Plague Doctor"). SCP-049 can produce a bag containing scalpels, needle, and thread from its body and return it to its body when it's finished with it. The bag cannot be detected in any way while inside SCP-049's body.
Professional Wrestling
- An episode of Monday Night RAW saw Triple H, known for carrying around a sledgehammer, facing off with Randy Orton holding a sledgehammer. Orton suggested they both drop their weapons and just go at it like men. Triple H agreed, both men ditched the hammers they were carrying, and then, after stepping into the ring and removing his jacket, HHH pulled another full-sized sledgehammer out from behind his back and proceeded to chase Orton away. Now, yes, the second hammer was concealed behind his back the entire time, held by a special rig, but the fact that someone managed to pull off the illusion of Hammerspace on a live television program was impressive.
- Beneath the ring could count, as everything including a kitchen sink has been pulled out from under the ring. Hornswoggle even lives under the ring and apparently, so do a bunch of similarly sized people. At first, it was just a joke by JBL, but then after being sued by Hornswoggle, DX has to go under the ring and not only find a full sized courtroom, but a building! So yes, on WWE shows, under the ring is officially Hammerspace. It's also been known to contain a portal to Hell.
- Destroy The Godmodder: Used frequently for everything from inventories to hiding, even used to trap people for short attacks sometimes.
- Both Ruby and Tom in Ruby Quest have Inventories in which they can store up to 8 items.
- In William Shakespeare's Othello, during the eponymous character's final scene, he pulls out weapon after weapon, as if from hammerspace.
Web Animation
- Dead Fantasy Part II. Yuna reaches into her clothing and pulls out two ether bottles to revive an exhausted Tifa. They're so large that there's no way they could have fit in her clothing normally.
- There is no way Ren's gun-blades should be able to fit into his sleeves, let alone leave no sign that they're there. Nevertheless, that's exactly what happens.
- Professor Ozpin is always seen with either a cane or a coffee mug, never both. The most blatant occurrence is during the show's very first trial which happens on a cliff edge and in the forest below. Ozpin sends the students off while nursing coffee, no cane in sight. Then he's seen monitoring the lesson while leaning on his cane, no coffee mug in sight. Before this event, the fandom already had a Running Gag that the cane and the coffee mug are the same item, morphing between the two states whenever Ozpin Must Have Caffeine. This event gave that gag wings.
- Cinder Fall can apparently use her fire powers to summon a pair of blades, which can also double as a bow. There's no indication yet as to exactly what is going on (Cinder has always been something of an anomaly), but her clothes do glow when she summons them.

Could someone explain the rules of the game for all except beruit and quarters which are the only two i know how to play
Also, there's a game called "Flip Cup" i think. The way it works is that you line up like 5 cups upside down with half the cup off the edge of the table and you have to flip the cup over in order to move down the line until you get all 5 cups. If you fail to flip it over properly, you have to drink and continue until you can flip it. It's very hard once you get hammered.
I'd have to say Kings is my favorite as well, although I went with asshole for the poll.
I just drink, no games needed. I did like asshole back in the day though.

We made him 3man and I made a rule, that in order to get out of being 3man he had to roll a three
and say "Feeble, Fuzzy, Duck, got Fried" without slurring
By the time he rolled his 1st three, he couldn't speak he was so "thru"...
His game ended when he puked and passed out

My favorite drinking game is called "Finish a beer, drink another." I'm a fucking CHAMP.
I'm on #2 right now, but the night is early. I need to drink a lot of beer because I worked back and biceps a couple hours ago.

Nouveau Stride: Fourteen by Nouveau Stride
Nouveau Stride is vocalist/lyricist Lorraine Feather and pianist Stephanie Trick. Feather, well known for her clever and inventive lyrics for Tales of the Unusual (Jazzed Media, 2012), plies her special trades here with the rich tradition of stride piano playing. That is where Trick comes in, being a precocious young virtuoso of such a piano style. And all of the great Harlem stride players are represented: James P. Johnson, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington (yes, Duke Ellington) and Willie "The Lion" Smith. The project is studiously ambitious, with Trick practiced to a high shine and Feather having done her homework on the book.
In her homage to Trick, Feather opines:
Now you know you can play stride,
Even though you about died,
And my song is about you,
And the torture you went through.
Head on down to the piano bar.
Start off with "All The Things You Are,"
Then a little ditty by James P.,
Show 'em you can pour on the heat.
And Trick does so on Johnson's "Carolina Shout" where she nimbly dispatches the piece con brio as the rare instumental. Trick and Feather's adaptation of Willie "The Lion" Smith's "Spanish Rag" as "The Tango Session" reveals its skeleton to be equal parts ragtime, Louis Moreau Gottschalk and stride, with clever, clever words:
I'd cash my paycheck, blow off my bills,
Spend every cent on terpsichorean thrills
Red dress of Lycra with satin frills,
Music that would sate my soul.
Track Listing: Pour On the Heat; Bat Boogie; New York City Drag; Rules of the Park; Vive Le Boogie Woogie; Dreamily; Let's Do This; Pretzel Man (the Contortionist); Imaginary Guy; Carolina Shout; The Tango Lesson; The Ride; Timeless Rag; California Street.
Personnel: Lorraine Feather: vocals and lyricist; Stephanie Trick: piano.

Habitat for Humanity Prince Albert ReStore employee and homeowner Marie Descalchuk loads wood at the used building supply store on Tuesday.
Herald photo by Tyler Clarke
Published on May 27, 2014
Habitat for Humanity Prince Albert president Morris Sawchuk is seen at the local ReStore with the two national awards the organization received at SaturdayŌĆÖs national conference in Calgary. One award is for best year-over-year sales record and the other recognizes the local organization for its focus on aboriginal builds.
Herald photo by Tyler Clarke
Of the almost 100 Habitat for Humanity ReStores across Canada, Prince AlbertŌĆÖs saw the greatest improvement in overall sales last year.
At last weekendŌĆÖs national conference in Calgary, Habitat for Humanity Prince Albert was also recognized as the top contributor of aboriginal builds.
Beaming with the good news on Tuesday, Habitat for Humanity Prince Albert president Morris Sawchuk said that the awards affirm his belief in the local chapter.
ŌĆ£Hopefully people will gain some enthusiasm from this,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£It will show the community that we are achieving some things and we are serious about what we do, and the national organization also recognizes what we do.ŌĆØ
Sawchuk attended the ceremony with incoming president Duane Hayunga, who will step in at next monthŌĆÖs annual general meeting.
The Habitat for Humanity ReStore, located at 911 Marquis Road, sells used building supplies, furniture, appliances and various other odds and ends.
While its 2013 sales figures merited national attention, Sawchuk said that the storeŌĆÖs forward momentum has only just begun.
An expansion project is underway at the main buildingŌĆÖs west side, where offices are being constructed for the organization. This will consolidate an ŌĆ£ineffectiveŌĆØ scattering of four offices throughout the city, Sawchuk explained.
As soon as that effort is done, a retail space expansion project will begin to the east of the main building.
ItŌĆÖs an important expansion, Sawchuk said, noting that with every dollar donated to Habitat for Humanity earmarked for building materials, the ReStore plays an important role.
ŌĆ£Any paid staff we have are paid through the ReStore,ŌĆØ he explained. ŌĆ£We also keep some (money) on hand because you can have surprises, like our one vehicle can lose a transmission or something.ŌĆØ
Last year saw a 35 per cent ReStore sales surplus, which the organization tacked on to their build budget.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs something that I knew all along we could do, we just needed to get better organized,ŌĆØ Sawchuk said of last yearŌĆÖs record sales.
ŌĆ£Originally (the ReStore) wasnŌĆÖt very attractive. We still have lots of work to do, thereŌĆÖs no doubt about it, but at least now itŌĆÖs organized and people can see.
ŌĆ£People know about the ReStore, they know where the money goes and they really think itŌĆÖs a good cause, so people have bought into the program.ŌĆØ
ReStore employee and Habitat for Humanity homeowner Marie Descalchuk said that much has changed at the ReStore since she came on board about two years ago.
ŌĆ£At first people werenŌĆÖt really aware that we were open to the public, so itŌĆÖs nice that people are finding out that we are open to the public,ŌĆØ she said.
It will show the community that we are achieving some things and we are serious about what we do, and the national organization also recognizes what we do. Morris Sawchuk
ŌĆ£People are starting to learn more about us, now.ŌĆØ
The aboriginal build award recognizes ŌĆ£the highest aboriginal builder last year, for providing homes to aboriginal people in Canada,ŌĆØ Sawchuk explained.
A big credit for this award goes to the inmates at the Willow Cree Healing Lodge, who help Habitat for Humanity build aboriginal housing in Duck Lake.
Feathers in Habitat for Humanity Prince AlbertŌĆÖs cap, Sawchuk said that the two national awards are indicative of an organization on an upswing.
In addition to the ongoing ReStore expansion project, the organization has six or possibly seven builds expected to take place this year, with more irons in the fire.
ŌĆ£People ask me what we can do, and realistically, I think Habitat for Humanity Prince Albert and area can build 12 houses (per year),ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£I wish we could build 100 houses per year.ŌĆØ
The local organization is already within the top eight Habitat for Humanity builders in Canada, Sawchuk said. When taken on a per capita basis, itŌĆÖs the biggest.
The Habitat for Humanity funding model is one of perpetuity, in that it doesnŌĆÖt provide a ŌĆ£hand out,ŌĆØ and instead offers a ŌĆ£hand up.ŌĆØ
The organization asks home recipients to pay affordable mortgage payments -- money that goes toward future builds.
ŌĆ£Habitat P. A. is growing, on average, by about $1.2 net worth per year,ŌĆØ Sawchuk said. ŌĆ£The more we build the more we can build, because the more money we have coming back.ŌĆØ
Between the build projects and the ReStore, a legion of volunteers keep the organization running, with Descalchuk noting that more are always sough.
ŌĆ£A lot of times we need volunteers to help us out as well, because we are overwhelmed at times,ŌĆØ she said.
ŌĆ£We ask them to be at least 15 years of age, but we could use anybody -- just whatever. We can use you.
ŌĆ£Even for it just to be a friendly, active spirit, or if you have an idea how to better organize the store. Everybody has their input.ŌĆØ

New Prince Albert Sharks Swim Club head coach Hazem Hussein was putting the members of the Great Whites through their paces on Wednesday at the Frank Dunn Pool. Hussein was recently brought in as head coach to replace Stephen Hay, who returned home to New Zealand after two years with the club, and he will work with the Great Whites, the competitive swimmers aged 13-and-older. With more than 21 years of coaching experience in his native Egypt, he is hoping to get the Sharks into the upper echelons on the provincial swimming circuit.

Almond Cakes with Caramelized Pears
These little Almond Cakes are one of my go-to recipes. They are absolutely delicious, especially if you love almond flavor as much as I do.
Here, I'm using them as a base for a fall-inspired topping of Caramelized Pears, but in the past I've topped them with peach sorbet and raspberry sauce for an updated "peach melba" dessert.
I've also prepared the batter in a tart pan, topped it with peeled, sliced pears and then sprinkled the top with sugar and slivered almonds.
This is just a good, easy dessert recipe to keep in your back pocket! Yes, it's a butter-packed recipe, but a good option when entertaining.
BTW, when I baked these for the photo I used some inexpensive tart pans. Since then, I've been using my go-to for individual desserts: Silicone Baking Cups. The tart pans I used to use started sticking, no matter how much I greased them, and the silicone cups never stick. I mean NEVER! Love that!
Have a great weekend! See you Monday,
Individual Almond Cakes with Caramelized Pears
For the Cakes:
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup melted butter
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons pure almond extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a large bow and beat until smooth. Divide the batter among 6 individual (4-inch) tart pans with removable bottoms. Smooth out the batter with a spatula and tap lightly on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Bake for 20 minutes, until a pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the pans while still warm and set aside until ready to serve.
For the Pears:
4 firm, ripe pears, peeled, cored and cut into wedges
2 teaspoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons light brown sugar
¼ cup slivered almonds, toasted
Combine pears and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Melt the butter in the skillet. Add the pears and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown around the edges, 3-4 minutes. Add the brown sugar and almonds and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pears are sauce and the juices and sugar have formed a syrup, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
For serving:
Vanilla bean ice cream
To serve, place a cake in the center of a dinner plate. Top with a scoop of the ice cream and drizzle with some of the pears and syrup.
Makes 6 servings.

Let's all have the presence of mind to agree on this much, before the hand-wringing and the finger-wagging start:
LaVar Arrington is not an idiot.
It's fair to call Arrington a lot of things as he lies in a hospital after wrecking his motorcycle. "Injured" might be a good place to a start. But he is not NOT an idiot.
I know it's fashionable to throw the "idiot" label around after high-profile motorcycle crashes, because, God, only an "idiot" would ride a motorcycle, given how dangerous the things are; or only a rich young "idiot" would feel invincible enough to attach a few thousand horsepower to his crotch, given How Fragile It All Is.
But that's not a fair syllogism, nor is it an accurate use of the word "idiot." LaVar Arrington is not an idiot because he knew what he was getting into. No one gets on a motorcycle without a sense of the stakes. It's impossible, you know from the first moment you rev the engine that You Are Not F'ing Around.
Did LaVar expect to get hurt? No. No one does. Did he know it was possible? You bet. And so he took the calculated gamble: the thrill of the ride against the threat of the crash.
And he lost.
So it goes.
Maybe you wouldn't have made the same decision, you moralists out there who'd chastise a man for riding a bike. And maybe you wouldn't know what you're missing: wouldn't know why LaVar — why anyone — would risk life and limb for the long hot high of an hour spent in fourth gear.
And if that's case, well, you tell me who the idiot is.

The MMO Report was delayed to Friday again this week, but for good reason. Age of Conan has seen one of, if not the most successful launches in video game history. The hype surrounding this title in the MMO community has been beyond what we've seen in recent memory. But we all know what can happen when a game's bark is worse than its bite even before it's actually on store shelves.
So we decided to give you this, our exclusive Age of Conan special. We got the chance to sit down with Jason Stone, a game designer from Funcom who worked on Age of Conan to find out how the game is separating itself from the pack. With details on the combat system, massive PvP action, and their unique anti-greifing prison system that will be folding into the game soon after launch, Jason gives you all the information you need to make an informed decision as to whether you're the type of barbarian Hyborian is looking for.
Plus we got an awesome new set, and that's way more important.
So shine your battle axe, put on your helmet, and watch out for innocents in the path of your backswing. This is...
The MMO Report.

by sr1019 , 11/17/2011
We got our carpet, couch, recliner and loveseat done. I called and Heidi got me an appt for the next day. Kevin and Seth were out here and did an Amazing job! The customer service was awesome! They walk you through the whole process, they let you see it half way through the process so you can see what had been cleaned and what was left to do.

These folks are definantly the best service provider I have ever had. I will recommend them to all my friends. Kevin and Heidi are awesome! Thank you for making my home look new again.
Excellent results as well as customer service!
by jb118 , 09/07/2010
We recently relocated to another home within the city, and called on Clean Force One to take care of the carpets in the house we were moving out of. We were in a bit of a time crunch with the inspection appointment, and Heidi was able and willing to rearrange her schedule to accomodate us. Not only that, but she came by to pick up the key from me so I would not have to load up the little ones and head out. They did an amazing job, and even addressed a few unexpected problem areas in the house. They were very professional, and went above and beyond to get us taken care of. Passed inspection no problem! Thanks Clean Force One, we will be calling you when we are headed out of this one as well!!!!! Olivia
Very Pleased
by USMCWife6869 , 10/27/2010
I just had them in to do my whole house. I swear, my rugs look better now than when we bought the house! They did such an amazing job. My carpets even felt better. Their level of customer service was off the charts good, and their pricing was very, very fair. We will definitely be using them again, and I will be recommending them to anyone who asks!
by spurgeon , 02/28/2011
Even though my carpet is still fairly new, with 3 dogs, I knew it needed some cleaning. And even though they told me that I wouldn't see a drastic change because it is still new, I noticed a difference. The feel and smell of it just feels brand new again!! I will definitely use Clean Force One again!
Worked For Me!!
by Parmer , 05/03/2011
I will definitely recommend them! My carpets had pet stains and odors that I have tried and tried to get out and never could. They did though! They were in and out within an hour and my carpets have never looked better!! They were friendly and helpful and explained the whole process. I really really appreciate everything they did!

Will Duke Nukem Forever EVER resurface or never...? Is the ship sunk or will they make another daring return somehow? What do you think? I don't know if their ready to let go of all that hype and glory yet, even though the team is mostly gone.
393 Comments - Linear Discussion: Classic Style
I rememeber reading somewhere that DNF is 90% comepleted. And I basically came across this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-G-LqufUic&feature=player_embedded
All these leaked videos make the game look like a bad game from 2004... I'm not too torn up about DNF's death anymore. After that weight-lifting trailer in 08 I was hoping we'd see it someday, but it's just been too long.
By the way, guys, there are rumours that the folks that brought us 'Borderlands' - Gearbox - have picked up the rights and development of 'Duke Nukem Forever'. I wouldn't be getting excited at this moment in time, because this is still just a rumour. Anyway, here's some linkage. Let's see how this progresses; hopefully the rumours are true.
This link above is not a RickRoll.
It's not that they picked up the rights, 3D Realms/ Apogee are out sourcing the development to them. Since they're both in the same city and GearBox has staff ready to use.
But, rumour right now.
3D realms have stopped working on it, but take two still own the lisence.LikaLaruku;261420 said:According to both Wikipedia & the developer's website, the game is still being worked on.
Aparently Gearbox have picked up development
It's a pretty strong rumour. Respected members of the 3DR and Duke communities say they have it on good authority that the rumour is valid and we'll be hearing DNF news at PAX in a couple days. This has been the first DNF rumour in years that actually seems to be holding water.
A fan created a blog called DukeWatch that posts all news related to DNF and the rumour.
While the link that MusicallyInspired posted is probably sufficient for all of the new information that emerges about the game, might I turn your attention to an article by Andy Chalk of Escapist Magazine.
According to Jon St Jons Twitter he said that the panel he'll be on at PAX has nothing to do with DNF but for all we know he could be lying to decieve us so it comes as a surprise.

Local area authorities have been receiving reports of a new twist on an old scam. Callers claiming to be from Publisher's Clearinghouse are contacting local residents and informing them that they've won, but you have to purchase a gift card worth anywhere from $200 to $1,000 in order to claim your winnings. The scammers reportedly keep you on the line while you purchase the card, and then ask for the pin number in order to put the winnings on it. But instead they drain the money on the card. Remember that any sweepstakes in which you have to pay any sort of fee to receive your winnings is a scam, and if you don't remember signing up for the contest, you probably didn't. Never give out personal information such as Social Security or bank account numbers over the phone either, and remember that it's OK to hang up on a scammer.

Voters to decide future of Spokane police oversight
Prop One, would mark a new era in police oversight in Spokane, a measure that would amend the city's charter by establishing an office of police ombudsman and a police ombudsman commission.
The kicker to Prop One, which will be voted on by Spokane residents in a special election next month, will be that the ombudsman will be able to investigate concerns independently from the Spokane Police Department.
Right now, Police Ombudsman Tim Burns has limited authority; he can only investigate using what the police department's internal affairs division has already compiled. There has been a back and forth between the city and the police guild in recent years to change that and now Spokane city councilman Steve Salvatori says it's time to let the voters decide.
Historians will look back at 2006 as a turning point in the relationship between Spokane's police department and many of its citizens, when the lives of Otto Zehm and Karl Thompson intersected in a North Division Zip Trip convenience store trust and accountability in the Spokane Police Department went on trial.
Proposition One would change that.
"We've had mayors try to take the lead, we've had councils try to take the lead on this, we've had other police guild members try to take the lead. Everyone's had a say on this except for the citizen," Councilman Steve Salvatori said.
The special election gives voters that chance to change the city charter and set the course for the ombudsman's role. It's an idea supported by both the Center for Justice and Spokane Police Chief Frank Straub.
"We have this new alignment of the planets, where we have this new police chief, a new mayor, we have a new council, we've put the Otto Zehm settlement behind us, the Karl Thompson settlement behind us. We have a police guild that is open to looking at this," Salvatori said.
In fact, it's hard to find vocal opposition; no one stepped up to write the "No on Prop One" response in the voters guide.
The police guild has objected to increased oversight in the past; on Monday a spokesman said the guild won't comment because of ongoing contract negotiations.
Pass or fail, Salvatori said it's time for the citizens to decide.
"Whatever they decide, I'm OK with that. But, we wanted to give them the chance to speak instead of this side always having a say," he said.

Painful sores are not the only unpleasant side effect of genital herpes. Researchers in Taiwan reveal that the sexually transmitted disease may also increase erectile dysfunction in infected men.
According to Renal & Urology News, scientists compared data on 1,700 men with herpes to 6,800 men without the STD. They found that during nearly four years of follow-up, men with genital herpes had a higher incidence of erectile dysfunction compared to those without it. In total, they found that being infected with the herpes simplex virus was independently associated with a nearly threefold increased risk of ED.
The study is believed to be the first to provide concrete evidence of a link between HSV and ED. According to Vsuisrr.org, many men with the STD have reported problems with ED. Experts often attribute the difficulties to low self-esteem, anxiety and worries about transmitting the disease to sexual partners. However, doctors state that using a condom and avoiding sexual contact when herpes blisters are present can reduce the risk of infecting another person. According the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is possible to transmit the disease when sores are not visible as well.
Individuals who have herpes may be able to control their outbreaks with antiviral drugs. Additionally, those with ED can treat that health condition with drugs including Viagra, Cialis or Levitra.
The CDC reports that one in six individuals in America between the ages of 14 and 49 is believed to have genital herpes. While sores are the most common symptom of the virus, many who have it are asymptomatic or have symptoms that are mistaken for another condition.
Medical professionals can often diagnose HSV with a visual examination or with a blood test between outbreaks.
