- "You couldn`t pull it off unless you became a beast inside that suit."
- "At first, I was somewhat hesitant to do the role. I mean, after all, Batman is an icon. But I remember, as clear as day, being at the grocery store the day the movie opened, and this little boy saw me. He couldn't have been more than five years old. He just walked right up to me and hugged me. He hugged me, and I was so moved by it that I hugged him back. Then he looked up at me and said "You're my hero." And in that moment, I knew that not only as an actor that I had done my job, but that I had made the right decision to play Batman. And I've never looked back on my the decision to play Batman since."
- "Christopher's really the reason I wanted to do it. I had first read a graphic novel - I'm not a comic book fan at all, I never have been - but had, I kind of forget how I actually ended up getting this, but somehow I got offered "Asylum" and read it and was really intrigued by it because it was nothing like it seemed in the "Batman" TV series, nothing like it seemed in the "Batman" movies either. I thought it was so much more interesting. I read "Batman Year One" and like the "Dark Victory" and stuff, and I thought, "This is good stuff. There's a really great character here. The way that they play it is fantastic. Why has there never been a movie done?""
- "I think that you have with the Tim Burton ones a great stylized version. But to me, whilst I enjoyed those ones, it was more the stylization of the villains than Batman himself. I didn't see a whole lot going on in Batman. The other ones just weren't my thing at all. And I just felt that I wanted to attempt to base it in reality, starting from a realistic point of view of the pain and the trauma that a child has been through, and really looking at it as that instead of just [he's] this incredibly theatrical character that jumps around in a Batsuit, which to me would be kind of stupid if I met him in the street. You know, I don't think I would be intimidated. I would laugh at him."
- "The car. It has to be because they've done such a radically different thing with it. What I love about it is that aesthetically it kicks ass. It looks f***ing stunning."
- "Stunning. Fantastic. I wish I got to drive it more, you know? The guy with the coolest job on the set was the stunt driver. I got a lot of attention the first few days I had the Batsuit on and then after a while you get used to me sitting around in a Batsuit. The stunt driver, every time he came on the set everyone was just in awe. (Laughing) "Here comes the man. This is the guy who's really going to make the movie." And it is stunning. The things that they did with it. The actual engineering of it is stunning. I don't know an awful lot about cars, but apparently it's the first car ever designed without any kind of front axle. It really can do the things that you see in the movie. The actual cars really did do them. They built like 12 or 13 of them."
- "I'm terrible at auditions, so I'm very impressed when somebody really seems to acquire an ownership of a character without having worked on it or prepared for some amount of time. I saw that in Anne. In many ways, she has the hardest job. There are a number of people who feel that the Catwoman role has been defined previously. So, I always saw Anne's role as being the toughest job of any of us."
- "he is a phenomenal actor. I like working with him a great deal. He goes the whole hog. I know that Bane has been seen in movies before. But, in my eyes, Tom is essentially creating Bane for the first time so there's great freedom for him to be able to do so."
- "Joseph is a very intriguing guy... He's somebody who truly seems to love acting. He's a good, smart guy. He did a very good job in the movie."
- "We always maintained from the beginning that if you wanted to break it down, there are three personas – Batman is sincere, the private Bruce Wayne is sincere. The public version of Bruce Wayne, the playboy, is a completely fabricated performance."
- "I wasn't a 12-year-old that gave a damn about comics. I had never been someone into comic books, it just didn't interest me. It wasn't my thing. Suddenly [after reading Miller's Batman: Year One] I found Batman has so many issues, he's not a healthy individual, this is somebody that is doing good, but he's right on the verge of doing bad. He's got that killer within him that he's desperately not trying to let off his leash. And that's what I always return to."
- "For me he is an anarchist and a free spirit. He knows that there are parallels between him and his enemies because life is never stable - you always have to fight for it. Keeping in mind that it may never be boring and that nobody is obliging you to behave like a superhero and to always have your muscles flexed and bulging."
- "Heath really was a lovely person, he loved his daughter dearly and he spent his life seeking answers. He was nothing to do with the commotion that broke out after his death. Nobody ever really is a cartoon superhero, even although superheroes are all the rage today."
- "I remember when I first read the script, of course it was all top secret. I went round by Chris' house, was shut in the room with the script — not allowed to leave with it — and it hit me that this was the last one. What Chris couldn't believe was how slow I read because I go back and re-read until I have it all in my mind. I was in there six or seven hours. It was dark when I came out. And I was smiling."
- "I usually read and re-read and re-read, so he couldn't believe it, I think. Chris kept walking in, thinking, is he asleep? We started lunchtime, it got dark, and the family was having dinner."
- "I want to say that one of the places where everyone else would have said was a complete hell hole, was India. When we started the film, we did a couple of days in Jodhpur, and the locals thought we were fu**ing nuts. (laughter) We were out in 120 degree heat, and we would be walking back into this one room where we had air conditioning and go "Ah!" it was like putting your head in a freezer. It was 90 degrees in that room, just to show you how hot it was. I thought it was a great kind of induction by fire, into that whole thing. And of people, we were just having the most ridiculous conversations because of heat exposure by the end of each day. But it was a nice kind of bonding moment, it was very memorable."
- "For me, time will tell with that. And for myself as well, I feel like you sit back and digest it. You watch it with new eyes for the first time, you watch it a few times and then you get that answer in a few years time. For myself, when you are inside a project, you cannot see the wood for the trees."
- "Well it's kind of a bittersweet thing. There are certain moments where you are in there you have got a migraine and you are in Saginaw. This is the year that when I landed badly on my back, or I did something and my back didn't fix itself for a month, it was difficult. I'm used to it fixing after three days, but I'm 38 now, and I was hobbling about in the mornings, bloody hell, so things have changed for me this year. So, it did get exhausting, but the second you start complaining about that, I mean, come on. I can't whine about that and just need to recognize that there's this great iconic character that I'm getting to play."
- "The suit stayed pretty much the same, but just advanced in terms of character, where he's at and what has he been doing? What has he had to reflect upon? And how long does somebody continue to have this painful episode in their life and continue to direct their lives? And we've always said that throughout the saga, who is warning what could go wrong? And so it's kind of crunch time, how much longer can you do this? How much longer does he let it dominate his life, but can he get out, does he get through it?"
- "You got both and you got a bold actor right here. Tom goes the distance, Tom goes way beyond what most other actors would do. And so be bold and respect Chris in his decisions and be bold and you've got a hell of an actor here that has created a phenomenon, a villain that stands by itself."
- "No bloody idea. Ask him about that. I'm not an actor that tends to care. I don't ask "Is this a close up? Is this a master? Is this a wide? What are you doing?" If I look up and notice the camera I go "Oh, it's a big one today, must be an IMAX." And that's kinda it for me because it doesn't affect what I'm doing."
- "I knew it was going to happen for me because I was contracted to do this film. I had no choice, I would have been sued up the ying-yang and be on the street and penniless if I hadn't done it. Chris, my understanding was, could have chosen not to do it, but he had always talked about this as being a trilogy and he liked the challenge that an awful lot of movies fail on the third one. There are some exceptions but most of the time that's the tricky one to pull off. And I think he really likes the challenge of that."
- "I'm figuring it all out as I go along. And I'm seeing Chris sitting on this shoulder here and my Emma Thomas sitting on this shoulder right now as you're asking the question going: "Don't say anything! You know you're not allowed to answer that one. " I think let's leave that one until you see the movie."
- "Yeah, a little. But we've always had to mess around… Every single movie that we've done for the Batman stuff has always had hair that we've had to be able to adapt to different looks throughout. So the longer you keep it the more you can do with it. Am I doing a good job? I'm kinda answering the questions but not really giving you shit."
- "I have no clue what the audience is going to think about the movie. Thank god I got someone like Chris who is really great at gauging that. He represents the audience for us on the set. So for me, I love the character so much that you'd get a very bizarre Batman movie. People would go, "What the hell? Why are we delving so much into his psyche? " He is a fascinating character and then Chris just has to tell me the points when it gets tedious and boring and doesn't want to see what I'm doing. It's great having someone at the helm who's – He's remarkably confident at going with his gut and not desiring any safety net or anything to fall back on. There are a number of times when I say to him: "Are you sure you don't want me to do a few other variants? I can do this one, and what if later down track you choose to change this part of the story, in that case we need to change the domino effect. If you want I can give you three or four different ways you can play it. " He's like: "No, no I know what I want. " That's exactly the thing that I need, he's very firm with it. It is a fascinating character. In honesty, there are probably a lot of stories that can be told with Batman. I like the idea of him growing older and he can't quite do it as much anymore. But I kind of feel, you have to leave when the going is good and this is when Chris wants to wrap it up. And it's the right time."
- "To me, he has it all; it's all in there. The thing is, he is still that child basically. The one thing that I do know, and there's an awful lot in the graphic novels, which we've played with a little bit, is this whole notion of him genuinely being a playboy versus what we've done, which is he sort of performs that but his heart's not really in it. And the eternal problem that Alfred has with watching this guy who has no life. He's put his entire life on hold because, yeah, he still does. He's got this fierceness in his mind and emotions that he just will not forget the pain of the parents. With most people it's like time heals all wounds, but with him it's like, "No, no, no. " He doesn't want to forget it, he wants to maintain that anger that he felt at that injustice but equally he wants to present this very vacuous soulless persona to Gotham so hopefully no one will suspect him but will just think he's a spoiled bastard. But consequently in his most intimate moments he has Alfred, he has Rachel and there is not a whole lot there, because it's complete arrested development. And the recognition that at some point he's got to start living. He is seriously behind in terms of life and enjoyment of life. That's all been sacrificed and at some point, hopefully it's Alfred's wish that he will start to live again. Of course this tragedy has defined him but to a degree he's sacrificed everything that most people would consider worth living for in life and he's going to have relearn that, embarrassingly late in life."
- "She did a wonderful job. She really trained so hard for it. She managed to find a place for herself where she could make this version of Catwoman work within Chris Nolan's world of Batman. I remember when she first read for it, I turned to Chris and I said,' I think that's what you're looking,'… I could see that through the costume a Catwoman. She was able to overcome that and still show the character… she was superb."
- "He's filled with remorse, he's become a recluse, he's given up and completely quit. He's in very poor health physically and mentally. He is not a healthy superhero. He has multiple-personality disorder and is a very sad, lonely individual."
- "He has the public persona of the playboy and the character of Batman is the personification of his rage and sense of injustice. He's almost a villain and takes it to the edge, where he can do no wrong, but he has this altruism holding him back from doing that. The reason he dresses in the Batman suit is that he feels monstrous, so he creates a monster to represent that rage and keep it away from his own personal life."
- "I got there. They put me in Val Kilmer's suit. It didn't even fit properly, and I stood in it and I went 'I feel like an idiot.' What kind of guy walks around, dressed like a bat? And is then going to go 'Hello, how are you? Just ignore that I'm dressed as a bat.' Of course, he's meant to be doing this. If you look at the history of the guy and the pain that he went through. I went 'I can't do this in a normal voice. I have to become a beast in order to sell this to myself. I went home that evening, and my wife said, 'How'd it go?' I went, 'I kind of did this.' And I showed her, and she went, 'Oh, you f---ed that one up, didn't you?' Thank God they went for it."
- "The voice ain't for everybody. Ben's obviously going to have to do his own thing, but it was the only way that I could find how to get into that and to justify wearing the fricking Batsuit. Otherwise, he's just loopy beyond belief. He's loopy, but he's loopy with a method to his madness. I wish him the best. You look at this kid, Batkid.... That gives the whole point. It doesn't matter which actor is playing him. He's a symbol. He's so much bigger than any actor. That's all. This little kid, he doesn't really care which actor's playing him. It's the symbol of the whole thing, and that's what makes the character so fantastic. I look forward to seeing what Ben will do with it."
- "It's a little embarrassing to compare Moses to Batman. There are similarities, you know, tragic beginning and then a heroic future. But Moses is a little more violent. I'm sure if there'd been guns around at that time, Bruce Wayne might have had a chance."
- "I've got to admit initially, even though I felt that it was the right time to stop, there was always a bit of me going, 'Oh go on... Let's do another.' So when I heard there was someone else doing it, there was a moment where I just stopped and stared into nothing for half an hour. But I'm 40. The fact that I'm jealous of someone else playing Batman...I think I should have gotten over it by now. I haven't spoken with Ben, but I emailed him offering bits of advice that I learned the hard way. I would imagine he is doing everything he can to avoid anything that I did."
- "Everyone brings their own element to that -- Ben will do that as well. I think the trailers are looking great and I'm looking forward to that. But right on for Morgan for saying no one will ever be that, I very much like him."
- "I didn't quite manage what I hoped I would throughout the trilogy. Chris did, but my own sense of self is like, 'I didn't quite nail it.' Heath turned up, and just kind of completely ruined all my plans. Because I went, 'He's so much more interesting than me and what I'm doing.'"
- Bale's wife Sibi Blazic was a stunt driver in The Dark Knight Rises.

So much to see, so little time..
... from there and I moved on to a site close by. Of all the places Italy has to offer I've always had more desire to visit it than anywhere. I wasn't disappionted, it really is special, up there with Barcelona for me. There's just a great feel and atmosphere to the place, as well as the finest Renaissance art and sculpture in the world. The dome of the cathedral is very special, it was built by Brunelleschi between 1420 and 1434 and I'm sure somebody can check ...

Italian Spring Break - Venice
... however, was that our next stop in Pisa wanted us to do the same thing. We had 20 minutes, once again, to print our tickets in Pisa and once again it didn't work. This time, however, there was a ticket desk and a lady there was able to print our tickets with 5 minutes to spare! (This train we didn't get checked on...) We then transferred trains in La Spezia and were ready to begin the second leg of our spring break adventure!
Until next time,
Lake Garda, Sermione and Venice!
... cope with. There were 2 other men there, and speedos with loose legs should definitely not be worn by men!
There were a lot of shops to look around, and at least 10 gelato places. I don't do icecream very often, but seem to have had quite a few gelatos so far! We stayed there for a few hours, and then drove to Venice. It was very busy near the train station where we were to drop the car off. So I found a park, and Allan went into Hertz to sort ...

Where I stayed
After the morning ride was lunch and after lunch Kelly and Julie got here - YAY!!!! Kelly said Julie was so exicited she was coming right out of her skin. When they turned off onto the mile-long road, which was not paved, Julie was like, 'Kelly, why are you going so slow!."
They got checked in and had about five minutes to spare before the afternoon ride. Grandma Lucy has decided to sit the rides out so her knees function for the 2nd half of this trip
After horses, we settled in and then swam - the pool and outside air was much warmer. We played a rousing game of Marco Polo and Colors with some of the kids that are here. There are tons of kids now - a good range to match our girls. Julie has made friends with a girl named Allie and told some ghost stories with a boy named Carter! He is a really sweet kid b/c before the rest of our crew got here, Carter was one of the kids to help Lucy do stuff. Lucy has been hanging with Evelyn and Cameron. So far the other families have been really great.
We had BBQ outside last night for dinner - corn, ribs, sausage and brisket. YUMMMMM.
This place is very different that i had imagined and than i had experienced at the Mayan. It reminds Kelly and I of the Landa Resort before the Schlitterbahn. I found out yesterday that this has been an operating dude ranch for 60 years and an operating ranch for 100+ years.
There was a story of a lady who has been coming for 60 years - and she has this album where she has pictures from all the years - from the time she was a little tot until she was in her 80's and i wish i could see the album - i mean what a lifetime of changes there must have been here.
Well - i am going to try my hand at uploading some pictures - let us know if you're reading this.
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
Yeah Buc-ee's cup for all!!!!! Cadillac of horses LOL! Tell mom I'm gonna want a copy of that CD. :)
Wow! It looks like you're having a great time! Send a photo of you and Lucy on the "Cadillac". I'm loving your blog and getting to see you all being cowgirls. Hope your "saddles" don't get sore.
It seems like you guys are having a blast. Tell Julie that Bryan and I miss and love her very much. Love the pictures...

Mass. trooper in Rockwell work dies at 83
FILE – In this May 25, 2004 file photo, visitors at The Norman Rockwell Museum view the 1958 painting "The Runaway," in one of the galleries in Stockbridge, Mass. Retired Massachusetts state trooper Staff Sgt. Richard Clemens, who was the model for the police officer in the painting, died [auth] Sunday, May 6, 2012. He was 83. (AP Photo/Nancy Palmieri, File)
BOSTON (AP) — A retired Massachusetts state trooper who was a model for Norman Rockwell's 1958 Saturday Evening Post illustration, "The Runaway," has died.
Massachusetts State Police said 83-year-old retired Staff Sgt. Richard Clemens Jr. died Sunday after a brief illness.
Rockwell, Clemens' neighbor in the Berkshires town of Stockbridge, asked the trooper to pose for the illustration along with a local 8-year-old boy, Ed Locke. The work shows a trooper in a diner counseling a boy with a knapsack. State police reunited Clemens and Locke for a 50th anniversary celebration in 2008.
Police Col. Marian McGovern said the image shows "the highest ideal of police work: helping someone in need at a vulnerable moment."
Clemens lived in New York state in recent years. His funeral will be Friday in Clifton Park, N.Y.

[We spent four days at Disney World and I figured I'd document the trip as best I can]
Day Three: Animal Kingdom
We were tired, really tired by our third day at Disney World. But we weren't going to let that stop us! We wanted to get to the Animal Kingdom early enough to really enjoy the park. My parents had to go home that day, but my brother remained in the parks to play with us. But we started the morning on our own. Early in Animal Kingdom is magic. There aren't many people and we walked right onto the safari ride. Plus, it was feeding time, so we saw almost EVERY possible animal. Even the cheetahs made a brief appearance. Jordan and her brother Cameron had a great time. And it's a bummer my brother missed out. By the time he got to the park, the lines were out of control and the Fast Passes were used up.
Jordan may have been a whole day into her sixth year of life, but she wasn't ready to stop celebrating. She kept her birthday sash on from the previous day and continued to enjoy hearing every person wish her a happy birthday. We even bumped into Baloo – who happened to be hanging out with King Louis from The Jungle Book.
Once again, there's an awesome roller coaster at Animal Kingdom. It's called Expedition Everest and it's awesome. But Jordan wasn't tall enough to ride it and that KILLED her. I had to pull out some paper and some crayons I found in the bottom of my backpack to try and appease her while we waited for the taller family members to get through the ride. My brother also helped her keep the smiles going. They're funny together.
The day included many adventures including a great lunch that gave us priority seating at the Nemo show. (It's the Tusker House if you're curious.) Near the end of our stay in Animal Kingdom, we bumped into Thumper! I was taking pictures of Thumper with the kids when Thumper thumped his foot loud enough that he made me join in on a picture.
I also stumbled onto a cute lucky fin moment. Jordan and I found a Nemo Christmas tree. I thought it was worth a picture.
After we left Animal Kingdom, we hopped a bus and then the monorail to get to the Contemporary Resort. We had dinner planned at Chef Mickey's. It's a buffet where you get to see all of the Mickey clan. We'd already had a chance to see them in Epcot, so it was a relaxing chance to hug and take pictures – no need for signatures. Jordan was inspired and had started drawing Mickey non-stop on any piece of paper she could find. So when Mickey came up to say hi to us, we asked him to sign one of her pieces of art.

Mr. Octobers
by Ward Rice (email@example.com)
Everybody is talking about the lessons learned from the last week of trading in October. The one thing I was reminded of is that October is THE most volatile month to be invested in the stock market. Why is that? Not being a gooroo, I don't have a clue.
From what I have read, though, the "mom-and pop" investors (i.e., you and me) were not responsible for all the volatility. Rather, it was coming from the "professional" investors who run big mutual funds. Seems the end of October marks the annual performance review on which their annual performance bonuses are based. To lock in gains, they have to sell stock when the market is headed in the wrong direction. Hence, all the volatility is due to these "Mr. Octobers" (apologies to Reggie Jackson).
So what if you decided you didn't like all this volatility and decided to get out of the market every October 1 (decidedly un-Foolish)? The problem is, some of the biggest gains in the market also happen in October. Witness the past week. What if in your efforts to time the market you happened to be out of the market on a few of the best days?
As part of my Time magazine this week was an advertising supplement entitled "'Big Gooroo's guide to Wise Investing." No kidding. Wise was capitalized and everything! So I thought I'd see what fallacies were being propagated and skimmed the material. Much to my surprise, a lot of Foolish material was actually included in this "Wise" guide. The gooroo actually recommended investing for the long term and pointed out the advantage of staying fully invested.
For example, in the 80s, the average annual return of the S&P 500 over all 2,258 trading days was 17.5 %. If you happened to miss the ten best days (out of 2,528), the yield plunged to 12.6 %. It fell to 6.5 % if you missed the thirty best days.
Let's say you invested $10,000 in the S&P 500 in 1980 and left it alone. At the end of the decade you would have $50,162. If you tried to time the market, however, and missed the ten best days, your total would fall to $32,763. And you would only have $18,771 by missing the thirty best days out of 2,528. So when next October rolls around, be prepared for some volatility and stay Foolish by staying invested for the long term!!

4x4 Post Support and Stucco Over Brick Transition
Looking to build a structure like this:
How deep should I go with the footer? Would you put the blocks on the footer wet?
I was thinking of using a sonotube and have it above 6-8 inches above the ground level with the rebar in it and then pour the square footer around it above 12 inches deep or is this overkill?
Advise on stucco over veneer brick... I am not doing the entire front with stucco only what will be covered by the new roof over the porch. What do you recommend doing the transition from the stucco to the brick since the stucco will be raised over the brick by a few inches??
The depth of your footing depends on where you are located,in other words how deep is your frost line???

A tired man, a hot humid tropical hotel bar, a mysteriously detached woman, and a hot richly appointed elevator come together.
It was late and I was tired, but having just arrived from Jakarta after a long and dreary flight, I needed some change of scene before turning in.
The hotel bar was nearly empty. Even in a city like this one, full of exotic people brimming with sensual attraction in their sleek and colorful fashionista dominated culture... even here, things closed down by 4:30 AM. Except for me, that is... and her.
She never shifted her pose, never looked my way, never spoke a word, never did anything other than blow slowly rising smoke rings and sip her drink. She looked as though she was a thousand miles away and still climbing. She looked as though her world was sufficient unto itself.
Tired and bored when I had come into the bar, now I was fascinated; though I made every effort to keep from showing it. Still, it was more than clear, this was a woman who knew she'd be noticed wherever she went. She was familiar with being seen, noticed... even watched. She appeared to be of both Asian and Western European descent, with perhaps a touch of Native American as well. Slender, clearly very fit but without that overdone muscularity that so many girls work toward in the gym. About twenty-six I would guess.
Her body moved with a kind of efficiency I had rarely seen; almost as though each cell knew it's function in any movement she desired to make, and responded perfectly; neither more nor less than needed. This resulted in a graceful, almost stylized presentation. Only once did she falter... or was it... more likely... purposeful.
I enjoyed her one enjoys a work of art. Beauty, grace, and a clear and heavy eroticism dwelled within and oozed out of her. My reaction was surprisingly non-sexual. A slap in the face and a beer would, no doubt, have awakened that part of me, no doubt. No man could see this woman and have no sexual thoughts at all. But mine were muted in the lazy haze of fatigue I felt, the slow movement of the ceiling fan, the quiet work of the girl behind the bar, as this silent self contained woman danced her dance.
As for the "faltering" It was just an instant, so slight as to leave me wondering if I had even seen it correctly; but when I told the girl behind the bar that I was ready to go, and tossed a fifty on the bar while standing up to leave... she moved. It was a departure from the totally unconnected way she had been until that moment. She appeared to shift, ever so slightly, toward me... and to twist her upper body around in a way that emphasized the cleave between her ripe breasts. The image was there. And then it was gone. She was detached and in her own world again.
Without thought, I stopped and just looked at her. Maybe half a minute.. just looking. It was so quiet that the hum of the fan above us, pushing the humid air past our warm damp skin, dominated the senses. The bar maid didn't move. Even having seen the million near encounters she had witnessed from behind the bar, she was spellbound by the tension of those thirty seconds. Looking back on it now, I think we all were.
I turned and walkied from the bar; across the marble floors below crystal chandeliers that hung twenty feet above, to the elevator.
Like so many aspects of this place, the elevator was a powerful combination of modern design and old world lavish tradition. As the crisp clean brushed aluminum doors opened I could glimpse the deep tones of the mahogancy covered walls inside, adorned by a brass holding rail on all three sides.. hip high. Before even entering, I knew that the silence inside would be even more complete than it already had been in the bar.
I stepped in, touched the button for the penthouse, then the code that allowed access to that floor, and lazily leaned back agains the side wall. The doors moved slowly in closing. Everything here seemed to move that way. Lanquid. Flowing.
As the gap between the doors narrowed to a slit, and the atmosphere in this small space began to take on its own unique flavor... long smooth fingers slid between the massive doors. They stopped moving. For an instant, everything stopped moving.
I knew it was her.

NEW YORK—Grace Hotels, a privately owned luxury boutique hotel group, opened the latest addition to its portfolio, Grace Cafayate, a hotel, spa and residential villas development located in the Salta province of northwest Argentina.
Marking the group's first hotel opening in Latin America, Grace Cafayate is situated in Argentina's Calchaqui Valley, which features a backdrop of The Andes. The hotel comprises 52 guestrooms and suites within the hotel's main building and its 20 residential villas.

LA JOLLA, Calif. – The buzz is very real this week at Torrey Pines Golf Course, and that was before Tiger Woods even showed up for his first PGA Tour event of the year at the site where he last won a major - the 2008 U.S. Open.
As golf fans arrived early in the week during pro-ams, the setting for the Farmer's Insurance Open couldn't be more perfect: sunny skies with weather in the 70s all week, two golf courses in magnificent condition, the backdrop of the cliffs above the Pacific Ocean, and anticipation of golf's former longtime No. 1-ranked player.
By Monday morning, the crowds were already gathering around the putting green near the golfers' grill as they brought their cameras, hoping to get a good shot of players like Rickie Fowler, Angel Cabrera or John Daly, who were there for the pro-am. Of the course, the No. 1 question was, "Is Tiger here yet?"
No, they wouldn't get to see him until today as Woods comes back to his old stomping ground for a practice round. We learned on Tuesday that he was to be paired in the first two rounds with the man he beat in that dramatic playoff in the 2008 U.S. Open – Rocco Mediate. Anthony Kim will join them as well, and you can imagine the proverbial sea of humanity that will be following the 9 a.m. group out on Torrey Pines' North Course on Thursday. (The same group will tee off at 10 a.m. Friday on Torrey Pines South, the golf course that was used for the epic 2008 U.S. Open that went 91 holes.)
Fans are excited about seeing who they hope is a rejuvenated Tiger Woods, injury free and free, somewhat, of the sex scandal that rocked the sporting world for the better part of 2010 following the now infamous 2009 Thanksgiving car crash. Woods has a new coach, Sean Foley, and a clean slate in many ways. And it's the first time he's been back to Torrey Pines to play in a professional event since 2008, having missed the regular event in 2009 following knee surgery and last year's because he took a leave from the game.
This week, he can reinvent himself. And most fans, especially the local ones who saw Tiger grow up in the area as a sensational junior, have forgiven him. No better place for Woods to start out 2011 than Torrey Pines, where he could not only win for the seventh time, but give the golf world a more positive jolt than he did a little more than a year ago.

Conference Call
As many of you readers know, we've been very fortunate and been allowed to interview many of the chefs from the four previous seasons. This season the interviews are a little different. Bravo has decided to do interviews by conference call.
I didn't know this until an hour before the first interview was to take place. I had no questions prepared and I sounded like a dying frog who smokes three packs a day when I talked. Oh well, it has to be done, right? So, I call the number provided and have my password ready. It doesn't work. I enter it again. Still not working. Arghhh!. I try to get my password to work for like 5 minutes and this stupid robo lady keeps telling me it's invalid. "The Fuck It Is!" I yell as I hang up.
I'm furious and hacking up an internal organ so I decide to check the blogs email. Low and behold, there's an email from Bravo saying sorry, we fucked up, try this password NOW. I swear the now was all bold like that. So, like a good little blogger, I call and use the password and it works this time. I can hear people talking and am immediately intimidated . These guys are real writers, not some fangirl who got lucky and hooked up with some awesome friends to blog about a show she loved. I am no writer! The only time I've ever used a comma correctly was an accident. I thought apostrophes were optional. You say run on sentence as if its a bad thing.
I hear someone from YumSugar ask a question and think "OMG, I love that blog!" Others ask question but I miss the names of who they are writing for, bummer. One lady asks a question and she has a terrible connection. She decides to scream into the phone,thinking this will make the connection work better, and all we hear are vowels. "A" "E" "I" "O" U." Yeah, I'm follow the vowel lady cause if I screw up, I can just yell out another question, pretending to be her. Brilliant! I so don't wanna ask any questions but I gotta do it so the next lull in questions, I go for it.
"Blogging Top Chef here, do you think you might pull a Danial Franco and come back next season?"
Lauren replies " Not without getting a bit more experience, no. "
I then ask "Why was using a paring knife so difficult? I didn't know it was an advanced skill."
Lauren replies " I hadn't used a paring knife in years. I use a peeler."
Ta-Da! That's my interview folks.
I took notes of the other questions asked and really planned on butchering the English language and writing it up but I can't read my notes. I swear to you my notes look like my two year old nephew wrote them.
So, I get ready to do interview number two, Patrick. I try the number, password is incorrect. Fuck. I keep trying and keep trying. Nope, not happening. I go back to our email and hope to see another email waiting for me with a magical password. It wasn't there but I can make my penis grow up to five more inches according to McAlister Applewood. I read the email from Bravo again and that's when I notice the times. Patrick's interview was scheduled 15 minutes before Laurens.
One interview down, 15 to go. This should be interesting.

Date of Stay: September, 2012
Very clean park and maintained well. After check in you are escorted to your site. Sites are pretty level with plenty of room. The dog run area has lots of running room for the dogs. We would camp here again.
Date of Stay: October, 2011
We stayed here for 2 nights. Easy in/out of park, level cement pads with grassy area for each site. Very tidy and clean park. Didn't stay here to visit Disney but watching the fireworks was an extra bonus.
Date of Stay: June, 2011
This was just an overnight stop for us, but was pleased with the campground. Large, level sites provided plenty of room and outdoor space. The entire campground is well maintained.
Date of Stay: June, 2011
Nice park, located within driving distance to downtown Las Vegas or the strip. We opted to take a taxi, which the front desk arranged for us. Spaces are level and have adequate space. We were only here 1 night. If we were staying longer I would have requested an even larger space. Seemed lacking for extra vehicle space. They do have Wi-Fi for an additional charge.

"You see, darling, I'm about a nine." My companion and I were walking along the beach at Fire Island Pines, that gay New York bastion of sex, drugs and jock 'n' troll. I asked my friend, a celebrated West Coast artist with sun-dried tomatoes for nipples, exactly what he meant.
"There's an upper stratosphere here and I'm just below it, so I can't be quite as picky as I'd like."
I looked at my acquaintance's wrinkled knees, his slightly convex belly, his gray hair, not to mention the fact that he still spoke daily with his "mummy," his best friend. He'd be lucky to score a drunk at the Meat Rack (a cruise swamp), I thought, as I said, "Darling, I know."
"I think I'll just go home and take another pill," he said forlornly. "You see, I'm drinking less and cutting down on the drugs. A Valium helps a lot."
"Darling," I said, even more sympathetically, "I know."
God, how I know. When I spent my last summer on Fire Island in 1987, my brain was pickled in Absolut and my tits were starting to sag at 26. Which must explain why I married a famous playwright I had little in common with (but later came to love) and starting summering in Izod-infested Connecticut. My new husband hated the beach, so we guzzled iced booze as we entertained Broadway stars, both faded and glittering, by the pool. I never returned to the Pines.
Until I got divorced. I also got sober. And since I replaced the liquor counter with the boob-and-butt machines, my breasts had become Fabio-ized. So you'd think with my new pecs and my firm-but-supple ass, I'd feel right at home again.
I did at first. Then I saw that the Pines had become one big B-movie and it was called Invasion of the Ordinary Body Snatchers. Slowly over the past seven years, Jeff Stryker pods had replaced virtually every male specimen on the island. Even old and skinny guys suddenly had biceps where they used to have moles and body hair. Talk about scary monsters.
But a bigger scare, perhaps, was when I realized that a large percentage of the population had lost itself in muscle mania because it was running from the biggest fright of them all, AIDS. Pull it, press it, push it but don't talk about IT.
Our bodies have become our barriers. Mine, too. I've been panting at the gym for more than a year, I now realize, not just because I wanted built-in shoulder pads but because I wanted to be a bad ass to more bad news. I don't want to know about any more friends getting sick. I'll just rep out while I check out, thank you. I understand the escape. But that escape has a price, one which is reflected in some signs I've noticed this time around. Take smiles, for example. They seem to have been replaced with cold Stepford Wives non-expressions. There used to be a certain joie de vivre on guys' faces. Now everybody sex-rays each other. Fuck me with your steely baby-blues, baby.
Sex, like smiles, has also gotten more economical. Admittedly, the Pines has never been known for its let's-get-to-know-each-other atmosphere, but now even staying the night after a good lay seems right up there with Day-Glo thongs. With some exceptions, the encounters I've had this summer have been quite thrilling but with very little emotion. Few words. Perfect bodies. Hot. Fast. Forgettable.
Drag. A couple of weeks ago I threw on a wig and alligator pumps -- which I've done before in the Pines to great applause -- and ran to greet some friends. "How tacky!" is what nearly expression at the dock said. "I'd be running, too, if I had that hair," said some brittle old thing. It was really ridiculous, especially considering the fact that most everybody, with their shaved bodies, ballooned breasts and flowered bikinis (square-cut, of course) looked like girls anyway. Get over it.
Then there are "celebrities." Elegant gals like Claudette Colbert, who used to be a regular guest of my neighbor's, have been replaced by the likes of NYC cable TV's industrial porn peddler Robin Byrd, who, like the omnipresent deer, has a habit of eating her breakfast off the berry bushes outside my house.
And, of course, there are the drugs. I'd like to say that they're more rampant than before, but, in reality, they're probably the only thing that has remained steadfast in the Pines. Despite people who are fighting HIV-related everything, poppers are everywhere and alcohol is the guest of honor at virtually every party.
But who am I kidding? Not only is it the beach, it's one of the most breathtaking shores in the world; and there's no place I'd rather be. Fuck constraints. Life will always be unfettered in the Pines, as it should be. And New York City and its gay-bashing scum are two islands and several large bays away.
So I'm a 12-steppin' Betty Ford in a sea of pill-poppin' Nancy Reagans. You say Adolfo, I say drag. So what? We all get face-lifts in the end.
People Like Them: Sign o' the Pines
Does how we play tell us how we live?
"You see, darling, I'm about a nine." My companion and I were walking along the beach at Fire Island Pines, that gay New York bastion of sex, drugs and jock 'n' troll. I asked my friend, a celebrated West Coast artist with sun-dried tomatoes for nipples, exactly what he meant.

Hi all
can any body advice me how to install Win XP as a second OS on my satellite L450 which has a preinstalled Win7
How-To Geek Forums / Windows 7
can I Install Win 7 and Win XP dual boot?(7 posts)
Hi all
Follow the steps here: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/8790/dual-boot-your-pre-installed-windows-7-computer-with-xp/
I just tried this option a week ago. but the XP installation will bring a Blue(Error) screen before it reaches to the Partition selection Screen. all the other steps are done well
It may be a problem with your XP installation disk. Are you able to get another XP install disk? If so try that and see if you still have the problem.
It is a disk that I used to install and format my previous laptop several times. any ways I will try another and will tell you. Thanks

For the past four years, Allison McNeill's password for literally everything from email to Twitter has included the numbers "2012."
And when Canada's women's basketball squad failed to qualify for the Beijing Games, the team's head coach said they had team shirts made up that read: "It's not every four years, it's every day for four years."
Four years have finally passed since the disappointment of missing out on Beijing, and when the players walked into the Basketball Arena at Olympic Park earlier this week, the players threw their arms in the air and sang out like a celestial choir.
"A guy literally threw open the doors and our team walked out and went 'Aaaaahhhhh!,"' McNeill sang. "It's like, 'We are here. We have worked hard.'
"Our coaching staff had to stop, we were laughing so hard. I didn't think I could do practice. It was so cute. It was a light funny moment and then we had a phenomenal practice."
The long wait finally ends when Canada tips off its Olympic tournament versus No. 2-ranked Russia on Saturday.
Canada is making its first Olympic appearance in basketball in 12 years, and is the only other Canadian team represented in London — the other is women's soccer. It's also only the fourth women's basketball team to qualify for and play in a Games in 36 years.
The basketball squad, led by point guard Teresa Gabriele — the only remaining player from team that competed in the 2000 Sydney Olympics — arrived riding a wave of elation after earning literally the last available berth for the Games at a last-chance qualifying event, beating Japan on Canada Day.
McNeill, who became the team's head coach shortly after its last Olympic appearance in Sydney, never dreamed in the early days of a career that has spanned more than 30 years that she would ever lead a team onto the Olympic hardcourt.
She said she's always been perfectly happy in her fulltime gig, coaching development players as young as Grades 3 and 4.
But McNeill, who coaches the national squad alongside husband Mike — one of her longtime assistants — said there's no better feeling than helping players achieve their Olympic dreams.
"We facilitate their experience, and for me, the best thing to date in my coaching career is when we are successful and I see their faces," McNeill said. "After we qualified. . . our staff just stared at them and watched them. I'd never seen such euphoria on people's faces in my life. You feel really good about that."
What makes this Olympic appearance all the more sweet for McNeill is that she coached several players — Gabriele, Kim Smith, and Chelsea Aubrey — from the development level right up to these Games. She couldn't be happier to see them shine on sport's biggest stage.
"You get to know them. You definitely get close to them," she said.
The 11th-ranked team marched in Friday night's opening ceremonies, despite its game Saturday morning versus Russia at 11:30 local time.
The coach couldn't say no. It's part of her philosophy of a well-rounded sporting career.
"I don't think I could even face them if I didn't let them do it," McNeill said. "I just think it's part of a life experience. How do you inspire a generation if you can't even tell them how it felt to walk in. . . 'I have no idea because I wasn't there."'
McNeill, a Salmon Arm, B.C., native, isn't a big believer in spending every moment focusing on playing basketball.
"I think there's something about handling distractions, being able to live a life and be a great athlete," McNeill said. "They're not opposing. Some people feel that, I'm not one of those coaches. I don't think you have to be in your room stressing about basketball 24-7, I think it's unhealthy."
Canada is in a tough pool with Australia (tied for No. 2-ranked with Russia), sixth-ranked Brazil, No. 8 France, and host Great Britain.
But McNeill said there won't be any panic-driven last-minute changes to how she and her players approach the Games.
"I don't feel like we have five-ring fever," the coach said. "We're not doing something new or changing something, it's what got us here."Report Typo/Error

Man Accused of Sexual Assault on Waka Flocka Flame's Tour Bus
Cleveland police boarded Waka Flocka Flame's tour bus early this morning to investigate a woman's complaint that she was sexually assaulted on the vehicle.
Cleveland newspaper The Plain Dealer reports that Flocka, whose government name is Juaquin Malphurs, is not accused of any wrongdoing in the complaint. Officials released a statement saying, "We have a sexual assault complaint, but nothing has been determined yet," after first being called by the accuser at 3 a.m. this morning (July 12).
Waka, who was in town to perform at Cleveland's 107.9 FM's Summer Jam, has had his fair share of legal woes since blowing up last year. The So Icey signee was released from jail this past March after a probation violation. That episode followed a botched robbery attempt in January that left the Atlanta rapper with two gunshot wounds. —Calvin Stovall

Galaxy Quest Parent Review
Movie Review
If you like Star Trek, but can't understand why anyone would attend one of those Trekkie conventions, you will probably enjoy Galaxy Quest.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
Jason Nesmith (Tim Allen) hasn't had much acting work since Galaxy Quest the TV series was canceled close to twenty years ago. Now in his typecast role as Commander Taggart of the starship Protector, he and the rest of the Protector's crew are the main attraction at sci-fi conventions. With thousands of fans dressed in the garb that goes with the part, these dead-end actors make their living by dutifully signing autographs and reciting Galaxy Quest trivia.
A legend in his own mind, Nesmith still leads the group by handling bookings for these conventions. But he is at odds with the others due to poor punctuality and an egotistical nature. When he overhears a negative conversation about his "has-been" performance, even he realizes that his quest may be over - until he meets his biggest fans.
A group of aliens have seen Nesmith's show and consider his work an "historical document". They need a pilot for their starship and a hero to save them from their enemies. Having no comprehension of dramatic television, they assume Commander Taggart and his crew are real. Things get off to a rocky start when Taggart tells helmsman Laredo (Daryl Mitchell) to take the ship out of space-dock. Of course he hasn't a clue how to steer the ship. "Go right! Go right!" the crew shouts. Things aren't much better with the"digital conveyor" (read transporter). Their practice try results in an inside out creature (this somewhat gory scene and other comedic violence may be disturbing to young children).
Except for a female crew member (played by Sigourney Weaver) wearing a ripped top (we see her bra) and a couple of minor sexual innuendoes, I found this well written spoof full of subtle humor that's surprisingly inoffensive. There are certain questions you just can't ask if you want to be a true trekkie. This movie boldly asks the questions no man ever dared to ask before.Starring Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver. Running time: 102 minutes. Theatrical release December 23, 1999. Updated May 14, 2014
Galaxy Quest Parents Guide
This film pokes fun at obsessive fans. Can these obsessions be dangerous? Celebrities may risk ruining their careers if they are strongly typecast in a particular role. Is this a fair price for fame?

As an engineer I like finding museums that include things like the old generators that can be found here. Non-engineers could probably enjoy a 30 minute walk around as well. Next time I hope to bring my teens to torture them with the educational experience
The tour of this power plant is fascinating and contains many, many artifacts from turn of the century (late 1800's) power generation. The docent is both knowledgeable and friendly. A GREAT experience.
Great place to visit! Very helpful volunteers to show you around and answer questions. We saw not only the power plant itself, but also many items that were used as electricity became available in the Gerogetown area that were antiques.
This is a small mueseum. Very interesting if you are an engineer or interested in electric or water energy. Otherwise not too interesting. Skip if you are on a tight schedule.
Even today, Georgetown helps supply energy to Denver's grid. Excel Energy has a pump storage unit that allows water to flow from a reservoir above Georgetown, through a turbine in this museum. This little museum shows the history of the energy supply system with original equipment designed by Nicola Tesla. Unfortunately, it's hours fluctuate by when volunteers are available. Limited...
This is a working hydroelectric plant which dates back to the early 1900s. The museum part contains a lot of old equipment and electrical appliances. It's still a work in progress and needs more signs on some of the exhibits to explain what they were used for. Several hands-on exhibits for kids. Free admission and very friendly guide. Worth a...
we have been to Georgetown several times, but stopped in the museum. The older woman running the tours was FULL of information, and after a while, we were ready to see the rest of the place. It had old equipment which was great to see. It was interesting. Not sure it would keep young kids going, but it wasn't bad
If you are into tech history (as in, VERY early tech history), this place is a bunch of fun. I think Tesla must have installed the generator at this place 100+ years ago....and it's still running every day. They don't build 'em like this any more.
We just came upon this place by accident and walked right in. We wandered through its exhibit rooms and enjoyed seeing lots of cool old power-related artifacts and some great old photos. I suppose some might find it boring but if you have an open mind it's quite a charming little place.
A tribute to hydro electric A.C. power over 100 years old and still providing power to this mountain community and surrounding residents. Be sure to take the self guided tour and then come back to the main entrance to ask any questions to the informative host.
Lots of historical photos and hands on displays of colorado history to entertain the...

Orbisphere K1100 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor
Product Announcement from Hach
Loveland, Colo. - Feb. 4, 2010 - Hach Company announces the new Orbisphere K1100 Luminescent Dissolved Oxygen Sensor. As the first optical sensor to use luminescent measurement technology to measure low-level oxygen in Power plants, the Hach Orbisphere K1100 sensor is virtually maintenance free: requiring only one calibration and two minutes of maintenance per year.
Designed for minimal drift, the K1100 is the most stable oxygen sensor with the longest calibration interval in the industry. The K1100 requires only one calibration per year compared to traditional electrochemical (EC) sensors which display significant drift after only a few months and demand regular re-calibration and substantial operator time.
With no membranes to replace or electrolyte solution to replenish, the K1100 only needs two minutes of maintenance per year. Sensor accuracy is unaffected by process changes or low-flow events, eliminating unnecessary operator interventions. In addition, corrosive or hazardous chemicals are not required, making the maintenance task faster, easier and safer without reducing measurement precision.
"With just one calibration and two minutes of maintenance per year, Hach's K1100 will help Power plants measure low-level oxygen with high precision and the lowest possible intervention," Andres Meza, Hach Power Market Manager, explains. "It's truly a 'set it and forget it' product - which is so important in these plants where the maintenance staff is already stretched thin."
For more information about the Hach Orbisphere K1100 Luminescent Dissolved Oxygen Sensor visit www.hach.com/K1100.

Several years ago my wife and I did a circle of some 3000 km from Romania through several Western Balkan countries and back again. It was a wonderfully memorable experience. As I found myself with two months free while the weather was still fine, I decided to do nearly the same route again, this time going alone to fully immerse myself in the local languages.
Instead of setting off from Timișoara this time, I decided to enter Serbia further south, near Niš. To save some time in doing this, I took the train to Craiova, the capital of southwest Romania, from which I could easily reach the former Yugoslavia by the new bridge across the Danube and then a brief traversal of Bulgaria.

HERE IS my take on this thread.
OP is a teacher. This thread has many levels.
BUT ONLY ONE CORE MESSAGE or PURPOSE
The 'time travel' loop 'plot' is a thought excersise designed to shake the reader from ordinary thought so that he may ( may) with luck become open enough to accept the real message OP is communicating and make a jump to the perspective OP is trying to make real in the readers mind. Or rather he is hoping not that the reader enjoys this CORE message on an intelectual level.... but rather that the reader actually gets to SEE the concept he is really trying to point out.
Experience it.
He is trying to take you to a state of awareness.
( or you could say you are trying to take yourself to a state of awareness - but more on this later)
If you have no idea what i am talking about yet i suggest you go back to page 1 and read every post made by OP.
Do not read every post as if it written by someone else though.
Read every OP post as IF YOU WROTE IT AS A NOTE TO YOURSELF. Read it in your own voice, imagine you are addressing yourself. That you wrote it to yourself.
Then it may start to become clear what the purpose of this thread is.
This way it seems apparent that the 1 year time travel loop thing is not only a metaphor, but also really a vehicle.
A vehicle to slip under the radar and deliver the following message to yourself, the fairly simple and very real truth ( that is extremely difficult to comprehend or grasp and be aware of) that as far as your experience goes - everyone and everything you experience is you.
The world is a mirror.
OP's time travel narrative and other parts of his posts also carry other messages that you mgiht be wanting to hear.
You'll know if you want to hear them because if you do you will listen to what they say to you.
But the real goal that he is trying to get you to see is that HE is not talking to you BUT THAT YOU ARE TALKING TO YOURSELF.
You are communicating with yourself.
And i don't mean this in a hippy new age BS way.
I mean this as a fact.
By reading OPs posts he is hoping the reader may realise that he is also the writer of the posts.
And from that, that he is the writer of any post he reads.
And from that, that everything is a communication and experience of himself.
The world and everything in it.
And i don't mean this is a hippy bs way.
( i particularly like that OP also avoids the airy fairy misunnderstandings - but then i would would I)
I could write a whole and large seperate post as to what the metaphor of the 1 year repeated is actually trying to convey, ( beyond just its purpose of being neccessary trojan horse to get the gates open) but i have to go to bed now.
ANyway i tip my hat to OP for pulling off the very very difficult task of laying out this thread in such a way that the reader may be able to communicate this particularly tricky concept and realisation to himself.
Because what what the OP is trying to allow the reader to communicate to himself he could just never come out and say.
Because their are all kinds of defences in place to avoid seeing what he is trying to get the reader to see. Even if the reader has seen it before or realised it before.
Hence the mind-bending and playful game was totally necessary. It was a trojan horse, designed to make you open the gates.
If you can see, plain as day, that you wrote this very post you have just finished reading, - OP's trickery succeeded.
..and you are now staring at the mirror, maybe for the first time.
