Première: This is it, it's the end. Our last interview for 'Twilight'. Looking back how did this experience changed you as an actor and as a person?
RP: It's hard to say ... I'm trying to see how this journey fits in the plans I made when I started at 17. At that time, I had a specific idea of what I wanted to be when I reached 32. The path might not be the one I imagined but I have a feeling I'm still going in the right direction. It's funny how things go, I never thought something like 'Twilight' could happen to me. In any case, I'm very excited for what's to come. The plus when you're part of such a cultural phenomenon is that it makes each of your choice more exciting because you know many people are interested in them, and are waiting to know about your next project.
If you make a great movie that nobody sees it doesn't matter. Well, no it does ... I'm just a very superficial guy who needs his audience!
Première: We're all looking for recognition..
RP: Exactly. I want people to think I'm cool (laughs.) That said, something new happened to me after 'Cosmopolis'. It was the first time I felt deeply convinced that the movie I played in was a total success. If someone would say something bad about it, I knew they were wrong. when as usual I would say: "There's this and this that I like but okay, whatever!"
Première: The problem now is you're going to suffer if your next projects don't measure up with this one.
RP: And it's not an easy task let me tell you. Nowadays, I feel like the Hollywood industry only has one goal: force you to make shit. The system turns everything it touches as a dud. Thankfully there's a small group of directors that resist but they're forced to evolve on the fringe.
It's a miracle they manage to survive. I'm thinking of guys like Harmony Korine in particular who I find extremely brilliant. He showed me his new movie 'Spring Breakers' this summer and I loved it. I don't want to jinx him but I feel like it can be a huge success.
It's with directors like him that I want to work, people who spent their life refusing to compromise no matter the price. If you look at it closely, it's often those who have the longest career. There's the safest investments on the market!
Première: You still haven't answered my first question: what changed in you at the end of those 5 years of 'Twilight'?
RP: Wasn't I talking about this right now?
Première: Unless you just turned into Hamony Korine, no....
RP: I don't think I've changed that much to be honest.
Première: How do you feel when you see a picture of you from the first 'Twilight'?
RP: I don't recognize myself. You have to know one thing, my memory only work for the last two years. I feel like I'm forgetting everthing gradually, maybe because I focus a lot on the future. It might be why I didn't end up completely insane because I was thinking of what's next. I rarely analyze the past for the simplest and good reason that I don't remember it. (laughs). There's no point judging what's behind you. There will always be someone who did better than you. It's better to focus on what you're gonna do to be better than them/these people.
Première: If you could go back to 2007, what would you say to this young actor who was about to sign on for five 'Twilight'?
RP: Four at that time and in my head I was only signing for one movie because I was certain the sequels would not never get made.
Première: What advice would you give to him?
RP: None. The most important, when all is said and done, is to be able to keep the enthusiasm that pushed you into this profession, and to not land on a stage by walking backwards. So yeah, you sulk when you end up suddenly robbed from your private life. I went through a big time of depression between 23 and 25, I couldn't go where I wanted to go, I was in the tabloids every day and I didn't have access to the roles I really wanted. I wanted more, on every level. I finally realised that you needed to earn this change I so desperately wanted. That one way or another, you had to suffer to be able to make it. I thought everything was going to be served on a plate but that's not how it works. When Cronenberg offered 'Cosmopolis' to me, I never read anything as interesting for years. I saw Kristen leave to film 'Snow White and the Huntsman', Taylor was also doing his thing on the side, and I was just going in circles, asking myself if I was going to take a break and go back to music. Then one day David called and I went crazy.
Première: That's what you should tell Rob of 2007. "One day you'll work with Cronenberg. Be patient."
RP: (Laughs.) Exactly. It's a funny job, seriously. I sometime feel like I've been spending some of my career on the edge of a bridge, ready to jump, until someone held me back. I'm exaggerating of course but sometimes it's hard to evolve in an environment where everything is so uncertain.
I hate that I've waited so long to try getting meetings with directors I admire, like Harmony Korine who I mentioned earlier. I wouldn't dare approach them because I felt like I needed more experience first, but I realize today, after talking with them, that they're very open. Everyone wants to work and this little power I have now due to 'Twilight' helped me make those collaborations a reality. I have a series of projects really exciting coming up.
Première: Like 'The Rover', David Michôd's second feature film....
RP: 'Animal Kingdom' is one of the first, most stunning movie that I've seen in a while. When I met David for the tests, I really felt there was something special and his script is just genius. I've never been really good during my auditions, so I can tell you that I've prepared this one like I've never done before. It lasted no less than 3 hours and it was epic. You should have seen the number of actors who came for the casting... everyone wanted the role. When I found out I got it, I was so proud I almost opened a twitter account to list all the actors I beat. (laughs)
Première: You've mentioned working with Cronenberg again...
RP: I hope. We talked about a few projects together, one being about child stars in Hollywood. The script is really funny and dark at the same time. In any case, David knows that he only has to pick up the phone and I'll be there. I would do anything for him.
In 5 years, you went from complete unknown to a huge star. How did you take it in?
RP: Despite everything, I feel like people still don't know who I am and it's might be a good thing. Sometimes when I meet directors, they end up telling me at the end of the meeting: "This isn't what I was expecting." I hold back asking them: "What were you expecting really?" The tiny bit of success you get in this industry is exceptional and the one from 'Twilight' clearly helped me open many doors. I know that the entusiasm can die down very easily too so I'm planning the future with caution.
Première: If everything stopped tomorrow, how would you take it?
RP: It depends on what you mean by "everything". If 'Twilight' never happened I would be trying out for the same roles I'm trying to get today. Only my chances of getting them would clearly be lower. Thankfully, the directors I dream of working with do not hire actors because their statut would get them an extra budget of 5 millions. They choose you becaus they think you're good. Regarding popularity, that would have been awesome 12 years ago before the smartphones and TMZ. At the time of 'Titanic', Leonardo Dicaprio wasn't followed constantly by a dozen of cameras. He looked like he was having fun, hanging out with the Wu-Tang Clan... Now you can't step a foot outside without wondering which compromising picture will be published the next day. You fastly become paranoid. One time I almost threw myself on some people, convinced they were following me to take pictures... they didn't even have a camera. They weren't the fans I thought they were. (laughs.)
Première: What do you think people will think of 'Twilight' in 10 years?
RP: The saga was constantly attacked over the years, sometimes unfairly. Not that it's comparable but noboby ever reacted that violently towards the Backstreet Boys at that time (laughs)! The amount of hate thrown at 'Twilight' is unbelievable. I feel like the last chapter will be better received. It was really made for the fans, it's almost like a love letter to them. The movie is funny, very tender and doesn't unnecessarily lean on the supernatural aspect to drawn in boys or an audience that isn't his. It's why it'll be better liked. Bill Condon showed us a first rough cut back in April, right before we did some reshoots and I like the way the movie link itself with all the previous films. It comes full circle in a touching way.
Première: I meant the saga as a whole and its impact on pop culture...
RP: 'Twilight' managed to unite an audience that was unknown until now and one that studios didn't know how to capitalize on. The saga opened a road that can be fun to explore. I'm sure there's smart ways of recreating that feeling that drew fans to 'Twilight' in other people. I'm thinking about it right now, it's my audience after all!
Kristen's Interview - Translation thanks to SomeLostBliss
After playing this character for 5 movies, Kristen Stewart is clear: Bella Swan is now in the past. Confessions in the form of an assessment on this very special experience.
PREMIERE: How do you feel on the eve of the release of this final chapter?
KRISTEN STEWART: It's strange... I feel the same thing every time I finish a movie, and it's not more intense with this last Twilight, probably because this character was mine for so long. I put as much work in each one of my roles, except that most of the time I have to say goodbye to them after five weeks. Ultimately, it's much more easier with Twilight: I spent so much time in that universe that I lived everything that had to be lived through this experience. I have a real feeling of accomplishment. There are a few movies for which I would have loved to go back and shoot more scenes after it ended, but not here. It's over and done with. It's behind me. I'm ready to move on.
PREMIERE: Except that we're talking about five years instead of the usual five weeks... It's almost like quitting your job.
KRISTEN: Let's not forget that we didn't shoot them one after the other. I haven't only done that for five years, thankfully. That interview would have been totally different otherwise. I got to be in other movies between each different Twilight ones. That said, I wouldn't have minded shooting them all in one go, but it's impossible in terms of production. If I hadn't worked in between each movies, I would have gone crazy. Therefore, I look back on this experience as a whole, but not as a chapter of my life, in the sense that those five years weren't only dedicated to Twilight. The series brought a lot of things to me, professionally speaking. I am at a point in my carreer where I'm given the opportunity to challenge myself as an actress. And I'm lucky these days to be able to pick these roles, which is a rare luxury, I'm conscious of that.
PREMIERE: How has this experience changed you as an actress and as a person?
KRISTEN: When I feel a new or really strong emotion in my daily life, it helps my acting. I tell myself: "I need to remember this to use it later for a role." I probably sound crazy by saying that but whatever. If I learned one thing during those five years, thanks to Twilight and other movies I made, it's that it's a good thing to be scared when you're about to start a new project. I found a certain comfort in this anxiety that overwhelms you before shooting a movie, because I know that the best performances, the most authentic, are born from this. Now, I need a role that intimidates me. What changed in me as a person is very similar, the lines are blurred. Even though there's no creative result, I do the same thing in my daily life than when I'm working: I Ask questions, all the time, before realizing that they don't necessarily have an answer.
PREMIERE: Your emotions nourish your work, but is it the same the other way around? Are there certain roles that had an impact on your life?
KRISTEN: Sometimes, some scenes from a script will help you reveal things about yourself, yes. And it can be a real shock. In the same way, making a movie will help you bring to the surface qualities that you didn't even know were in you in the first place, buried really deep inside. I've faked emotions, for example, that I had never felt before. And when I finally felt them, I told myself: "Ah, so that's what it feels like..." It will, again, probably seem weird to you, and maybe I shouldn't reveal that much, but I had never really kissed a boy before I did it in a movie. And when it happened "for real", I told myself: "Wait, it's my first kiss but I've already kissed someone in a movie." So strange.
PREMIERE: Interesting...
KRISTEN: I know right...? (laughing)
PREMIERE: Do you sometime find yourself looking at pictures from the first Twilight? What do you see when you look at them?
KRISTEN: Me when I was 17.. (laughing) I often ask myself what my points of reference would be if I hadn't been an actress, but the different stages of my life are marked by movies, and that our key experiences often happen on the set of a movie. Also, I spent my 18th birthday at the end of the first Twilight, a very important moment, especially in the life of a young woman. I remember it like it was yesterday.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Assistant Secretary for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Michael Posner released the Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2010, at the Department of State on April 8, 2011. The Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, commonly known as the Human Rights Report, covers the legal status of human rights in more than 190 countries and territories around the world.
Secretary Clinton noted that the State Department makes human rights is a priority 365 days a year. She highlighted three disturbing trends from 2010 including, a crackdown on civil society activists; countries violating the fundamental freedoms of expression, assembly, and association by curtailing internet freedom; and repression of vulnerable minorities. The Secretary also underscored improvements in the human rights situations in a number of countries.
Secretary Clinton said, "I'm here today to present the 35th annual report to Congress on the state of human rights around the world. The struggle for human rights begins by telling the truth over and over again. And this report represents a year of sustained truth-telling by one of the largest organizations documenting human rights conditions in the world, the United States State Department.
"I want to thank Assistant Secretary Mike Posner and the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, and our hundreds of colleagues and embassies around the world for working so hard to make this report an honest compendium of global human rights issues. I also want to thank the many people around the world who monitor and fight for human rights in their own societies, and from whose information and recommendations we greatly benefit.
"In recent months, we have been particularly inspired by the courage and determination of the activists in the Middle East and North Africa and in other repressive societies who have demanded peaceful democratic change and respect for their universal human rights. The United States will stand with those who seek to advance the causes of democracy and human rights wherever they may live, and we will stand with those who exercise their fundamental freedoms of expression and assembly in a peaceful way, whether in person, in print, or in pixels on the internet. This report usually generates a great deal of interest among journalists, lawmakers, nongovernmental organizations, and of course, other governments, and I hope it will again this year.
"As part of our mission to update statecraft for the 21st century, today I'm also pleased to announce the launch of our new website, humanrights.gov. This site will offer one-stop shopping for information about global human rights from across the United States Government. It will pull together reports, statements, and current updates from around the world. It will be searchable and it will be safe. You won't need to register to use it. We hope this will make it easier for citizens, scholars, NGOs, and international organizations to find the information they need to hold governments accountable.
"Here at the State Department, human rights is a priority 365 days a year. It is part of the mission of each of our ambassadors. It is on my agenda or on Under Secretary Otero's or anyone else's who meets with foreign leaders. And it is a core element of the Obama Administration's foreign policy, because it actually is in line with our values, our interests, and our security. History has shown that governments that respect their people's rights do tend, over time, to be more stable, more peaceful, and ultimately more prosperous.
"We were particularly disturbed by three growing trends in 2010. The first is a widespread crackdown on civil society activists. For countries to progress toward truly democratic governance, they need free and vibrant civil societies that can help governments understand and meet the needs of their people. But we've seen in Venezuela, for example, the government using the courts to intimidate and persecute civil society activists. The Venezuelan Government imposed new restrictions on the independent media, the internet, political parties, and NGOs. In Russia, we've seen crackdowns on civil society groups turn violent with numerous attacks and murders of journalists and activists. In China, we've seen negative trends that are appearing to worsen in the first part of 2011.
"As we have said repeatedly, the United States welcomes the rise of a strong and prosperous China, and we look forward to our upcoming Strategic and Economic Dialogue with Beijing and to our continued cooperation to address common global challenges. However, we remain deeply concerned about reports that, since February, dozens of people, including public interest lawyers, writers, artists, intellectuals, and activists have been arbitrarily detained and arrested. Among them most recently was the prominent artist, Ai Weiwei, who was taken into custody just this past Sunday. Such detention is contrary to the rule of law, and we urge China to release all of those who have been detained for exercising their internationally recognized right to free expression and to respect the fundamental freedoms and human rights of all of the citizens of China.
"Beyond a widespread crackdown on civil society activists, we saw a second trend in 2010 -- countries violating the fundamental freedoms of expression, assembly, and association by curtailing internet freedom. More than 40 governments now restrict the internet through various means. Some censored websites for political reasons. And in a number of countries, democracy and human rights activists and independent bloggers found their emails hacked or their computers infected with spyware that reported back on their every keystroke. Digital activists have been tortured so they would reveal their passwords and implicate their colleagues. In Burma and in Cuba, government policies preempted online dissent by keeping most ordinary people from accessing the internet at all.
"The third disturbing trend of 2010 was the repression of vulnerable minorities, including racial and ethnic and religious minorities along with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. In Pakistan, for example, blasphemy remains a crime punishable by death. And the blasphemy law has been enforced against Muslims who do not share the beliefs of other Muslims, and also against non-Muslims who worship differently.
"In the first two months of 2011, two government officials in Pakistan who sought to reform the law, Governor Taseer and Minister Bhatti, were targeted by a fatwa and assassinated. Also, in Iraq, Egypt, and Nigeria, violent attacks by extremists have killed dozens of people who have been peacefully practicing their religions, Christians and Muslims alike. In Iran, we have multiple reports that the government summarily executed more than 300 people in 2010. Many of them were ethnic minorities. For example, in May, four Kurdish men were hanged in Evin Prison. They had been arrested in 2006 for advocating that Iran should respect human rights. They were reported to have confessed to terrorism under torture. And because I believe, and our government believes, that gay rights are human rights, we remain extremely concerned about state-sanctioned homophobia. In Uganda, for example, homosexuality remains illegal, and people are being harassed, discriminated against, threatened, and intimidated.
"But the news is, of course, not all bad. We have seen improvements in the human rights situations in a number of countries, and we've also seen the uprisings of the past months in the Middle East and North Africa, where people are demanding their universal human rights. In Colombia, the government began consulting with human rights defenders. It is supporting efforts to stop violence. It has passed a law to restore land and pay reparations to the victims of the very long civil conflict that occurred in Colombia. Guinea held free and fair elections and inaugurated its first democratically elected president. And Indonesia boasts a vibrant free media and a flourishing civil society at the same time as it faces up to challenges in preventing abuses by its security forces and acting against religious intolerance.
"Societies flourish when they address human rights problems instead of suppressing them. Freedom from fear makes economies grow as citizens invest, innovate, and participate. Where human rights matter, children grow up with the precious belief that they matter, too; that they should be able to live in dignity and shape their own destinies. People everywhere deserve no less. And we hope that this report will give comfort to the activists, will shine a spotlight on the abuses, and convince those in government that there are other and better ways.
"And we want to see progress. We started doing this report 35 years ago because we believed that progress is possible. And certainly, if you were to do a chart from 35 years ago to today, you would see a lot of progress in a lot of places. But at the same time, we must remain vigilant, and this report is one of the tools that we use to be that way."

The world community tends to reject the U.S. report on human rights because it is so myopic.
More than 250 US legal experts have put their names to an open letter decrying the inhumane and illegal treatment of Bradley Manning, the soldier charged with leaking confidential documents to whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks.
The letter, published in the current issue of the New York Review of Books, repeats the widely circulated allegations that Manning is being subjected to enforced nudity, solitary confinement, and sleep deprivation.
The Army justifies this treatment by claiming it is standard for a prisoner under suicide watch. But the claims of inhumane treatment have proved serious enough for the UN to be investigating the US government for torture charges.
The letter, written by two esteemed law professors, Bruce Ackerman of Yale and Yochai Benkler of Harvard, states that Manning's treatment is a violation of the Eighth Amendment's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment and the Fifth Amendment's guarantee against punishment without trial.
Private Manning, who is being held at Quantico marine base in Virginia, has been detained for more than eight months without trial. He has been charged on 34 counts - including "aiding the enemy", which carries a death penalty.
The Congress, having not officially declared war, has designated no "enemy" to which the charges could relate.
Mjohlie in the U.S.A. writes:
It's amazing how our tolerance of human rights abuses changes when a nation holds over $1 trillion of our debt. China oppresses its labor force, persecutes religious and ethnic minorities, obliterates free speech, and supplied weapons and equipment that the Sudanese government used to slaughter hundreds of thousands of Darfurians. The United States needs to speak up before a potentially hegemonic China can silence, murder, and exploit their population without any fear of reprisal.

Skip to comments.Sen. Murkowski: 'Disappointed' Palin decided to 'abandon' Alaska
Posted on 07/03/2009 10:18:11 PM PDT by icwhatudo
I am deeply disappointed that the Governor has decided to abandon the State and her constituents before her term has concluded.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska daughter of Frank Murkowski, who was defeated by Sarah Palin in the 2006 Republican gubernatorial primary
(Excerpt) Read more at politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com ...
Get stuffed, Lise.
Blow it out yer ear, loser.
Any opportunity to emerge from obscurity....
Go piss up a rope......
Shut up Princess Murk. She owes her career to her father. Palin has done everything by herself.
Hmmm...did Lisa listen to the speech?
Or is this preemptive; with Lisa afraid that Sarah is going to be gunning for her Senate seat next year?
I don't see that happening...
Maybe daddy waddy can appoint 'oo to be Governor, Lisa.
Bitch. The American people don't deserve Sarah Palin.
Hey Lisa, did daddy tell you what to say?
I can only hope that the "different direction" is a full-court press on Obama for the next few years, culminating in a presidential run in 2012.
I also hope that one of her major issues is tort reform, seeing that she has experienced the fact that it costs nothing for idiots to waste government's money (she hit on this several times in her announcement).
Bitter, table for one..... We'll be serving the Sour Losers Special today.
What I'd say in reply to this nepotistic ... person is unprintable.
TRANSLATION: I Hate her.
Damned if you do, damned it your don't. A TRUE conservative Republican can't ever get a break for anyone.
Effff You.
Looks like Lisa sharpened her claws and is exercising her new found self importance since being named vice chairwoman of the Senate GOP.
Correction for clarity . . . make that, Efff You, Murkowski.
Thank her for getting you in the papers!
Pray for America and Gov Palin
Nice nose hairs....lol
Answer, Your not a Conservative. Your a political left wing whore. She and her father are just a couple of reasons I hate the Alaska Republican party.
Are you calling Sarah a bitch?
If you are, I vehemently disagree. I think her move today was a terrible decision, but it's hers to make.
She most certain is not a bitch.
What the American people deserve, is a swift kick in the ass for selecting a fascist to represent them.
If you must use the word bitch, you can use it by referring the that fascist son of a bitch.
Whaddya know, Lise is another butt-ugly, bitter liberal womyn!
Wow! What a scumbag!
I think Clock King was calling Murkowski a b****, not Sarah.
Goes to show where the RINO Murkowskis are coming from.
Someone needs to re-gift her a nose hair clipper... unless she likes her own little bugger vault at finger picking distance... ha ha.
She kicked it so hard that Frank came in THIRD place. Yup, third place. A sitting Governor. Third place. That's got to leave a mark.
I'm not trying to put words in his mouth, but the follow up seemed to confirm the tone. I read the article, and it didn't refer to the U.S. not deserving Sarah.
Dude... Are you trying to give us all nightmares ?
The poison apple doesn't fall far from the rotting tree. Murkowskis are real pieces of... work.
Poster forgot to add RINO Crossing TO THE POST!
Figure the timing here.
The primary in Alaska is in August. You need about eight months to run a decent and pumped-up campaign. Senator Murkowski is a 2-star campaign player and won't be able to stop Palin. So Palin steps in as senator and plays out her strategy until November 2015 when Palin resigns as senator and proceeds to run as President. The Republican governor naturally appoints himself as the senator and things get to be fairly interesting.
So forget the 2012 election...Palin isn't going to waste effort on it. She has timed everything for 2016. And Murkowski? She'd best start planning to run for governor in 2016 and hope for a comeback then.
Sounds like the Republican establishment, which has battled with Sarah is trying to make hay out of this.
I'm not sure if I care about her opinion at all....no, I don't.
This Senator Murkowski sounds worried. Is she a good senator or a wormy squirmy type of creature?
Sounds like someone is afraid Sarah is coming after her seat in 2010...
Lisa, you flea-bitten witch.
I'd love to see Sarah kick Obama so hard that she leaves a similar mark on him.
In fact, I believe she's got Obama's butt whoopin' marked on her calendar.
Will this do?
Huh? America will be a Marxist, totalitarian police state by 2015 if we don't take Zero out in 2012.
Or have you momentarily forgotten that there's a wannabe dictator in the White House?
We don't have seven years for Palin to take the Presidency. I'm convinced that she understands this too. I'm sure that this was one of the chief factors in her decision to vacate the Alaska Governorship now.
We have to move with all due haste, while there's still some semblance of a constitutional republic in which to do this.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska may be a bit nervous about facing Saracuda in a primary for her senate seat.
Go Cuda chew her up and spit her out.
I misunderstood your post at first? Others may misunderstand your post also?
You should have added /s at the end of your post, to indicate sarcasm.
Shaddap, Murkowski. You've got plenty of work to do in the Senate holding off the hordes of Hussein worshipers. Do your job, and leave Sarah alone.
Much better!
I don't see her running for the U.S. Senate. I'd have to check, but my guess is that incumbent governors have a much better track record in challenging incumbent senators than former governors do.
President is another story. The best way to run for President is to be unemployed. (Carter, Reagan, certainly, Obama showed up for very few votes during his campaign).
Bad post, Bad post! I apologize. I did NOT mean Sarah. I meant the so-called Senator. And America does deserve a butt whupping for being so blind by the Leftists.
You're right, I hit the post button without thinking or reading first. I am very very Pro-Sarah! I was calling the so-called Senator a B****. But I don't believe America deserves the goodness of Sarah Palin. Americans have been blinded by celebrity and idol worship. The need to face the reality of electing a marxist.

An amazing story about a death-row inmate in Oregon who "evangelizes across the world" is in the current edition of the Catholic Sentinel in Portland, Ore. The inmate, Jeff Tiner, was once a white supremacist who now is devoted to St. Josephine Bakhita, the 19th-century African slave who was cited at the beginning of Pope Benedict's recent encyclical on hope as an example of liberation and redemption.
And if you remember the huge national controversy a decade ago over a sacramental confession between an accused Oregon triple-murder suspect and a priest that was secretly taped by the authorities, you should read all the way to the end of the story to see how Tiner later became that man's confirmation sponsor.

What are References?
Most commonly, employers will ask for references when you apply for a job. References are persons who can talk about your knowledge and experience related to the job at hand. It's common to provide 3 references to an employer, including each person's name, title, relation to you (if not evident), address, email address and phone number. Unless otherwise specified by the employer, only supply professional references (persons who can address your work abilities) rather than personal references (persons who can address your character).
Less often, employers will ask for letters of reference, which are letters written on your behalf which you can submit to an employer. Letters of references are a common requirement for graduate school applications.
Who to Ask?
Three to four persons:
The person serving as a reference should satisfy the majority of these criteria:

Intel Corp. announced Thursday that the next-generation in-vehicle infotainment system (IVI) for select Nissan Motor Company production vehicles will be powered by the Intel Atom processor beginning in 2013. The IVI system features an innovative twin-display that was unveiled in the Infiniti LE, a luxury zero-emissions concept vehicle, at the New York International Auto Show today.
"Technology and vehicles are integral components of everyday life and by combining the two, we can we achieve a truly connected, mobile lifestyle. The processing power of the Intel Atom processor enables Nissan to deliver information and entertainment to drivers and passengers simultaneously in a safe manner and opens the door to more enjoyable driving experiences," said Ton Steenman, vice president of Intel's intelligent systems group.
Nissan selected Intel as a technology partner to jointly develop rich in-vehicle experiences that will keep Nissan drivers and passengers informed, entertained and productive while maintaining optimal safety. The industry-leading, twin-display will enable the driver to see vital traffic information and navigation while simultaneously delivering entertainment, such as movies, to passengers.
The product development builds on a longstanding relationship between Intel and Nissan, which includes joint research through Intel Labs to explore new ways to customize applications and enhance mobile device connectivity in the car.
The joint research focused on several areas of exploration, including mobile device-to-vehicle fusion, cloud-based services for vehicles, and vehicle video surveillance via smartphones, as well as vehicle access and control via smartphones. For example, by using in-car connectivity and cameras and sensors already in the car, the car is able to notify the owner via smartphone when the vehicle is struck in a parking lot. Additionally, using near-field communications or a barcode to securely pair a smartphone with a car enables the smartphone to become a virtual key for remote keyless entry to the vehicle.
"The Infiniti LE showcases the concept of smart hospitality. The twin-display, developed with Intel technology inside, is a breakthrough feature that presents driving-related information in the right place and at the right time," said Andy Palmer, executive vice president of Nissan Motor Company and in charge of Infiniti.
The announcement follows additional efforts toward realizing Intel's vision for the connected car including the recent creation of the $100 million Connected Car Fund, the opening of a new global automotive innovation development center and the expansion of Intel Labs experience and interaction research in automotive.

Rihanna Ombre Hairstyle
Rihanna finally decided to drop the fire hydrant red hairstyle and go with something a lot more natural looking, which in my opinion is absolutely stunning and really suits her well. She is now rocking a beautiful curly auburn hairstyle which really brings out her natural beauty and a whole lot less dramatic than her previous styles. Stepping in 2012 I think we will see a lot more auburn and subtle hints of reds as opposed to 2011 with the raging reds and extravagant cuts.

If I had the space and the money to spare, I'd love to get all those American albums in vinyl. I'd never play them. But, I'd love to have them, just to look at them, reminisce, read the liner notes, etc. These were the albums that introduced many of us to the Beatles. I can still hear the song sequences in my head. I'll hear "What Goes On" and then my mind will go right to "Day Tripper." Only someone who had played YESTERDAY AND TODAY over and over again would understand that.
Same with BEATLES VI. I'll hear "Tell Me What You See" then immediately think of "Every Little Thing," which was the next (and final) song on the album. In fact, every time I hear EITHER song, I think of the other one!
The British albums were the ones to have. They were the way the Beatles intended them to come out. They sounded better.
But, in America, we had what we had. And we fell in love with it. So, strictly for nostalgia's sake, I'd love to be able to put them on a shelf somewhere.
Maybe someday...

Found at Giant Eagle's meat department.
We all know that homemade burgers are the best and burgers found at bar & grilles aren't too bad either, but while shopping at GE a couple of weeks ago I stumbled across a nice find.
The pre make some burgers and they spice em up pretty good. They use Black Angus beef for these pre made seasoned burgers and they are very reasonably priced, around $3.29-$3.79lb. They usually sell two per package.
They have the dirty burger (with a little bit of everything), a greek burger (with a slight gyro like taste), bacon & cheddar and a cajun one.
IMO they are great and a good value for those of you in a hurry and not willing to do up your own burgers.

Any player who colludes or attempts to collude with any other player while using the Service may be permanently banned from using the Service or the Software or any other related services of the Company, their account may be terminated immediately and the Company shall be entitled to retain all monies in such player's account. We have developed and employ sophisticated proprietary technology intended to seek out and identify players acting in collusion. If the Company is informed about suspected collusive behavior, it may, in its sole discretion, terminate suspected players' access to the Service and/or block their accounts and withhold all available funds from within the accounts. No player shall have the right to require the Company to take any other steps against players suspected of collusion, cheating or any other form of fraud.
If you suspect that any player is colluding with another or cheating, you can contact us via email at email@example.com or via the support email address relevant to a White Label Brand.
Chip-Dumping: Chip-dumping occurs when any player deliberately loses a hand in order to deliberately transfer his chips to another player. Any player who is involved in an act of chip-dumping or attempted chip-dumping while using the Service may be permanently banned from using the Service or the Software or any other related services of the Company and such player's account may be terminated immediately. If the Company is informed about suspected Chip-Dumping, it may, in its sole discretion, terminate suspected players' access to the Service and/or block their accounts and all monies in such player's account. In such circumstances the Company will be under no obligation to refund to the relevant player any funds that may be in the account at such time.
If we reasonably suspect that an account or group of accounts are operating systematically in order to gain an advantage over another player or to commit any act in bad faith in relation to the other players or the Company – for example employing specific techniques to disadvantage other players or playing as a group, the Company shall have the right to block or terminate all such accounts and in such circumstances, the Company shall be under no obligation to refund to you any funds that may be in your account.
Seating Aids: Without derogating from the prohibited use of Software Aids, you are not allowed to use any software program or external aid which, in our opinion, enables you to find a seat at a poker table or automatically seats you at a poker table ("Seating Aid"). We constantly review the use of the Services in order to detect the use of Seating Aids and in the event that we deem it has been used we reserve the right to take any action we see fit, including immediately blocking access to the Services to the offending user, terminating such user's account and seizing all monies held in such account.
Abuse of the "Sit Out" Feature: The "Sit Out" feature is only intended for taking short breaks between extended periods of play. It is not intended for use while no play is taking place at the table, or for waiting on players to join or leave the table. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to take action against players "sitting out" for excessive periods of time. Players who repeatedly abuse the "Sit Out" feature may be restricted from participating in our poker games either temporarily or indefinitely.
Payment Disputes: Each user of the Service is fully responsible for paying any and all monies owed by it to other users of the Service and/or the Company. Any claim which a user of the Service may have for payment of winnings to it in respect of losing bets placed by another user of the Service are against that other user and not the Company. The Company is in no way responsible to pay you if any user of the Service fails to pay his debts for whatever reason, or for taking any action whatsoever against such users. All disputes that arise between users of the Service, including those relating to payment fraud, are not the responsibility of the Company.
If your account is associated with poker fraud in any way – for example through Chip Dumping, Collusion, or the receipt of fraudulent Money Transfers – your account may be terminated, and we will be under no obligation to refund to you the funds from your account. This is irrespective of whether your account can be proven as intentionally receiving funds from a fraudulent user.
In the event of a poker fraud investigation we are under no obligation to accept any explanation provided for the receipt or use of fraudulent funds. If such an investigation is resolved, and your account is reopened, we may choose to remove the amount of fraudulent funds from your bankroll.
Money Transfers – If you choose to send a money transfer to any account, once the amount and the recipient username has been confirmed, such transfer is irreversible, and we will not be responsible for any loss of funds caused by the member transferring monies to the wrong account. However, the Company at its sole discretion reserves the right to reverse any money transfer which it suspects of being fraudulent or connected with any illegal activity.
If your account receives funds via money transfer from accounts that have security issues, we reserve the right to block your account and withhold any funds, until such security issues are resolved on all accounts – including those that you received money transfers from. No player shall have the right to require the Company to take any steps against players suspected of collusion, cheating or any other form of fraud. The Company will not provide information with regards to investigations or any subsequent outcome. You are fully aware that there is a risk of losing money when gambling by means of the Services and you are fully responsible for any such loss. You agree that your use of the Services is at your sole option, discretion and risk. Other than as stated herein, in relation to your losses you shall have no claims whatsoever against the Company and any of its affiliated entities or any white label partner or their respective directors, officers or employees.

Skip to comments.Romney Wont Rule Out Romney-Santorum Ticket
Posted on 04/11/2012 9:42:52 PM PDT by Steelfish
click here to read article
It won't work. JMO.
I just threw up in my mouth a little. URP!
Ain't nothing or nobody that execrable lying Socialist fraud can choose that will make me vote for his sorry ass.
How magnanimous of Mr. Willard. (What kind of name is "Mitt" anyway? Sounds like a baseball glove.)
romny is dumb, but he aint that dumb.
Exactly. If Santorum can swing either OH or PA in the red state column, Obama is toast and will energize Evangelical voters
I wouldn't count on a sensible choice for VP with Romney. I have a hunch that many GOP-e types are convinced that McCain lost in 2008 because he didn't go with a "safe" moderate, establishment choice. I anticipate an equally insipid GOP-e moderate or liberal VP choice for Romney.
Santorum, Rubio, West...there are quite a few good people he could call upon who would be helpful to his campaign.
Or maybe Huckabee, or McCain. The excitement is killing me!
"Aint nothing or nobody that execrable lying Socialist fraud can choose that will make me vote for his sorry ass."
OOP'S, Whom were you refering to???
Romney needs to carry some key mid-western states. Without OH its game over. He carried OH by under 1%. He won MI by a mere 3% points over Santorum. There's a good chance that Santorum may bring PA into the red state column. Besides he needs to energize evangelical voters. But most important is that Santorum as VP will be a strong conservative counterbalance to Romney.
Allen West or Santorum would be excellent choices.
That would be as opposed to the execrable Marxist in the White House (the one who doesn't pretend to be a Republican).
Could they get more boring? We need a strong conservative. He knows that.
And yet Romney makes another STUPID statement.
pfft No he won't. Santorum was my guy but still wouldn't vote Romney.
" - - - Everybody is on my list, said Romney - - - "
"You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." Abraham Lincoln
Lemme see now, in order that would be RINOs, Democrats, and the owners of US Treasury Bonds when they try to cash them in.
BTW, what has Romney EVER done to reduce the size of ANY Government?
Why not, indeed? Perhaps that was the plan all along.
But, seriously, you don't actually think that Romney would rule out Santorum BEFORE the Pennsylvania primary, do you?
Rubio. Geez I hate all the kabuki when they wrote the script...
Santorum kicked Romney in the teeth on his way out the door with that speech yesterday. There is some genuinely bad blood between those two right now. I just can't see this pairing right now. The convention is a very long way off right now. Anything can happen I guess.
This is the wackiest election cycle I can remember. I got a guy running for Senate in PA calling himself a Reagan Conservative that voted for Obummer in '08. What a bunch of crap.
Don't see that happening.
Why would Santorum tie himself to this RINO ??
My theory is that Romney won't throw conservatives so much as a bone, let alone set his hair on fire. He's already in Etch-A-Sketch mode.
Still fantasizing, I see.
Were you a Sarah supporter?
Damn straight.
How long did it take for you to work through your disappointment when she announced her decision not to run?
In fact, I remember that thread. Many people were terribly upset. In fact, I posted to the harrassers to leave you guys alone. Go look it up.
Have some respect for the feelings of the Santorum supporters. Okay?
On CNN Ticker, it shows Santorum to campaign with Mitt Romney. I guess he needs those debts paid off. Now, if this is true, why in the world would he kiss up to Mittens for after bashing Mitt throughout the primaries as being a faux conservative. Now, the light may shine.
You need to step away from your Rick poster-he dropped out before the people could vote for him in his home state (says a lot-he wasn't man enough to go through the race maybe)
Why would he campaign for Romney after that scorched earth campaign Mitt waged against Him?
And you can stop that "not man enough" bs.
Santos not man enough to have stayed in the race until after PA primary. Man enough man enough..
I didn't mourn Palin's decision. Being emotionally tied to a candidate isn't my style, and as to Santorum supporters feelings, I have been sympathetic and suggested some take time off from FR to grieve, and it wasn't meant as sarcasm, either. I remember you making request of harrassers, I do.
But time is of the essence, and we can't all stand still. Now is the time for all conservatives to urge their candidates of choice to gather together and present a unified front behind one conservative who is either brave enough to stay in the race or too crazy to get out! It doesn't matter if you hate the guy, or not. We conservatives must stop squabbling among ourselves and rid the Party of Romniacs.
Romney is a self-professed progressive. That means he is a national socialist, a fascist, if you will.
We must take back our party, and soon.
santos-he endorsed romney before.
Sorry.. There is NOTHING Romney can do to energize me to vote for him, or his ticket.
I saw this game play out not but 4 years ago... It's going to play out the same this time around as well.
Of he wouldn't. That would be gauche ....
"kicked Romney in the teeth"....
~ ~ ~
How did Santorum do that, by not mentioning Romney's
name? Rather decent of Santorum...
That would be better than nothing, but he'll need Palin if he wants to win.
See! Freeper NorthernCrunchyCon is right! Hillary Is on Mitt's list! [See: Five reasons Romney should pick Hillary as his VP (Vanity)
I'm surprised you would say this....
Serious evangelicals who support Santorum have every reason to believe he would not align himself with Romney......
...and their strong convictions would prevent them from embracing such a pairing.
We don't flip that easily.
Not content that Rick has dropped out....you're STILL making up scenarios you hope will hurt him.
I looked up your recent 'Romney to hit the trail with Santorum'.........
..and there is not anything....no Santorum quote....nothing....to support this.
This is purely pap on Romney's part, especially as he heads into the Pennsylvania primary.
The actual Romney speak was .....down the line he expects Santorum will be on the trail with him.
Well, I expect someday I will win a million dollars.
I often wonder how you sleep at night.....but have drawn the conclusion you are quite adept at word twisting and it doesn't bother you at all.
Go Romney-Lieberman!!!!
I was feeling ill, so I needed a thought to help empty my stomach...
How about this one... Obama drops Biden for Hillary... Romney-Biden 2012!!! major-purge, and that looks like a piece of my lung.
"On CNN Ticker, it shows Santorum to campaign with Mitt Romney. I guess he needs those debts paid off. Now, if this is true, why in the world would he kiss up to Mittens for after bashing Mitt throughout the primaries as being a faux conservative. Now, the light may shine."
Santorum, sadly, can sometimes be an establismentarian first. Like when he supported Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey. As much as I like Santorum for the support he gave pro-lifers and Terri Schiavo's parents, two of the big reasons I supported him this time around, his support for Specter still rubs me the wrong way and is a reminder that he isn't perfect. So I'm guessing he will be a team player and support Romney.
"Santos not man enough to have stayed in the race until after PA primary."
With his chances of taking the nomination increasingly slim, his daughter in the hospital facing a 10 percent survival rate, and Romney implementing his usual scorched earth policy against Christian and conservative challengers, I don't blame Santorum for getting out now to focus on his family.

Union College President Marcia Hawkins, Ph.D., addressed new students at the annual induction ceremony, offering them words of encouragement as they begin their college careers.
Hawkins told new students that their decision to pursue a college degree was a wise one. "Congratulations for making the choice to change your life and the lives of those around you," she said.
Hawkins told students she identifies with the internal struggles they might have felt when making the decision to leave home: she recently moved away from family and friends in Texas to begin a new chapter of her life at Union College. It was a change she is glad she had the courage to make and is pleased that new students will be entering this journey along with her.
"You're new to Union, and I'm new to Union. We're in this together," Hawkins said. "I want to hand a diploma to each of you."
She advised students to "be bold" when faced with making other difficult decisions. She also assured the students that they had the entire Union community, including herself, to support them in the decisions they make along the way.
The annual induction ceremony, known as the CIRCLES program, is an event that formally recognizes commitment to the Union College core values. New students pledge to uphold those values, and the Union community, in turn, vows to help them succeed. Community members from campus and beyond presented each new student with a medallion, which symbolizes the pledge they made.

Background Errors in clinical reasoning occur in most cases in which the diagnosis is missed, delayed or wrong. The goal of this review was to identify interventions that might reduce the likelihood of these cognitive errors.
Design We searched PubMed and other medical and non-medical databases and identified additional literature through references from the initial data set and suggestions from subject matter experts. Articles were included if they either suggested a possible intervention or formally evaluated an intervention and excluded if they focused solely on improving diagnostic tests or provider satisfaction.
Results We identified 141 articles for full review, 42 reporting tested interventions to reduce the likelihood of cognitive errors, 100 containing suggestions, and one article with both suggested and tested interventions. Articles were classified into three categories: (1) Interventions to improve knowledge and experience, such as simulation-based training, improved feedback and education focused on a single disease; (2) Interventions to improve clinical reasoning and decision-making skills, such as reflective practice and active metacognitive review; and (3) Interventions that provide cognitive 'help' that included use of electronic records and integrated decision support, informaticians and facilitating access to information, second opinions and specialists.
Conclusions We identified a wide range of possible approaches to reduce cognitive errors in diagnosis. Not all the suggestions have been tested, and of those that have, the evaluations typically involved trainees in artificial settings, making it difficult to extrapolate the results to actual practice. Future progress in this area will require methodological refinements in outcome evaluation and rigorously evaluating interventions already suggested, many of which are well conceptualised and widely endorsed.

Extreme mohawk hairstyle with vibrant colors
A mohawk is crafted especially for women, with soft ends and an audacious pink dye intermittently showing through ginger blonde hair. A section of hair all along the crown, from forehead to the back of the head, is separated from the rest, which is quickly cropped very close to the skull. The ears and outline of the skull are left clean and bare. The sectioned-off, slightly wavy mohawk is then feathered and cut at the ends, so the hair length tapers, from longest at the front to shortest at the back. The dye is then applied in various places, so that it shows for a stretch at the roots, here and there at the ends, in some places the middle of the strands.
