Resolved and handled. No matter what we did for this client, they were not going to be happy. Unreasonable client.
One of my A/C units at my property was broken on Sunday, July 30th and I have called and arranged a service visit with Greenstar Home Services on Monday, July 1, 2013. A technician came over to my property in the afternoon, same day. After cheking the units, he mentioned that capacitor and contactor of the broken unit was in bad condition and they need to be replaced. He also suggested installment of a part called Hard Start Kit that may extend the life of the unit a couple of seasons. He also mentioned that his Company could replace both units at a cost roughly about $3500 a piece + the amount I would be paying for the repair. Considering the information given to me, I have decided to proceed with the repair. He replaced/installed three items $307 a piece (According to HVAC Parts and Supplies Website, the retail prices of the parts replaced were; capacitor:$20, contactor: $8, and Hard start Kit: $10). I have paid a total of $1019. Following the repair, the unit appeared to be working, and I have paid the requested amount using my credit card.
I noticed however that the repaired unit is not working in the morning of Wednesday, July 3, 2013, and called the Company to schedule another appointment. The same technician came to my property, same day. After checking the unit, he stated that the fan motor was locked on and the condenser unit was damaged and suggested replacement of the whole unit as the best option. Since I was not satisfied with the explanation given to me and the cost of replacement was substantial, I wanted to seek for second opinion. I asked the technician to remove the parts he installed on Monday and refund the payment I have made excluding the diagnosis and tune-up fees. Upon his refusal. I asked him specifically to leave any parts he installed on the broken unit and declined his offer to replace the whole unit.
I have talked to one of the managers over the phone, and explained my position and asked him to refund the amount charged on my account. He told me that he would look it in detail and get back to me on the same day. Since the following day was Independence Day, I couldn't do anything but to live through July 4th at above 110 F temperatures. I have called the same manager on July 5, 2013 twice to discuss the issue further but I was told that he was not available on both occasions.
A second Company has visited my property on July 5, 2013 to asses the broken unit. When they inspect the unit, they noticed one of the parts replaced, the capacitor was missing from the unit for some reason. They also noticed that the second item replaced was not the correct one (a single-pole one rather than a two-poled one).
On Monday July 8th, the General Manager of the Company called me back and we discussed the issue. He offered to replace the unit for a price tag of $2950 + $1019, equaling to $3969. Since I had a price quote for replacement of the unit for about half of the price offered by him, I declined. He then offered me to replace the fan motor for free of charge, stating that it may put the unit in working condition. After going through the written statements made by Green Star technician and two other technicians, I came to conclusion that the replacement of the fan motor would be a waste of time, and prolong my family's one week no-A/C ordeal even further
Eventually, I got the unit replaced with a brand new one with a price tag of $ 2000 by another Company. As of July 9, 2013 my A/C service was restored to where it was supposed to be with a payment of $1019 to Green Star Home Services for nothing in return and a payment of a $2000 for a brand-new unit to restore the A/C service to my property.
As summarized above, the handling of my A/C service request by Greenstar HS has not only failed to repair the broken unit but also caused a damage on the condenser of the unit which was assessed as in fair condition the Company's technician on his July 1st.

Three months passed since my filing of the claim. No service, same old "someone will call you back" nonsense. They kept collecting the premiums in the meantime. I cancelled the policy, asked for a refund. Guess what? When you cancelled the policy, Stanley is not responsible for any repairs, even if you file your claim while your policy was active, and no refunds are allowed.
Here is the business model of Stanley Home Warranty;

Greenstar Sets the Record Straight.
SUBMITTED: Monday, July 29, 2013POSTED: Monday, July 29, 2013
Greenstar Home Services is an honest and ethical company and we pride ourselves on customer satisfaction, without our loyal and happy clients we would have no business at all, so let's set this record straight with some facts.
Greenstar Home Services responded to a "no cooling" complaint from this customer. Upon diagnosis of the system by our experienced and professional service technician, it was deteremined that the repairs needed to get the system cooling again were extensive and costly. Base on this and the age of the system, the client was presented with two opitons...repair the system and risk another breakdown and further expense or relace the system with our full warranties and gaurantees and not have to worry any longer. Against our professional advice the client elected to repair the old and failing system which we did.
Later in the week the clients system did fail again (as we explained to him might happen) and it was completely unrelated to the original repair. At this time we again presented the client with two options, repair the system again at an added cost or replace the system at this time and out of good faith Greenstar would credit the cost of the origianl repair towards the new system...the customer declined both options.
In regards to installing the "wrong parts" the client is simply mistaken and as far as Greenatar removing the parts that were installed and causing damage to the system, this is simply not true either. The client also stated that over the course of a few days (in which time he had no a/c in his house) he had three other contractors out that all confirmed Greenstar's reccomendation that it was time to replace the unit. Furthermore, being without a/c for a number of days was the choice of the client while he did his "investigation", not Greenstar's as we made every effort to remedy the clients challenges that same day.
A few days later the client called back demanding his money back for the repair that was performed. Again out of good faith and loyalty to our clients, Greenstar preseneted two options, we would be happy to repair the unit FOR FREE in an effort to satisfy the client or replace the system at a HUGE discount...again the client even declined both of these options.
I'm not sure what more we could have done for this client in an effort to satisfy him aside from taking the higher road and giving him his money back though Greenstar was at no fault what so ever, which is what we ultimatley did despite the fact that he did not follow our original recommendation, chose not to have us repair the unit for free and chose not to replace the system at a huge discount.
It is clear that in business no matter how honest you are, how hard you try to always do the right thing, how much you truely care about your clients, there are just some people out there that will never be satisfied and simply be out to discredit the name of honest and hard working individuals.

The Company Steps Up
SUBMITTED: Saturday, July 13, 2013POSTED: Saturday, July 13, 2013
After this report was filed, Greenstar Home Services has contacted me and promised a full refund of the disputed amount. I appreciate Company's forthcoming and I am satisfied with the outcome. I will provide further updates if needed.

"[In 2009] Yahia was one of tens of thousands of people who joined demonstrations in London against the Israeli bombing of Gaza. At one of those demonstrations Yahia and many others were 'kettled'--surrounded by a police cordon and slowly let out in return for giving their names and addresses and for being filmed. That was the last Yahia knew of it until the following April, when the family home was raided by 20 to 30 police at 5am. The front door was forced open...they refused to let him put on any clothes, even though they'd opened the windows, letting in the cold...Yahia was later charged with violent disorder...He says that during the demonstration he took a chair from a nearby Starbucks to sit on, but police alleged that the cafe was trashed and the furniture used as weapons...Yahia is now serving a one-year prison term."

The Power of a Live EventBy · Comments
What Everyone Should Know About Live Events and Why Attending them Will Help You Grow Professionally and Personally.
Just this past weekend I spent three days in a power session with smart marketers. We were working on our marketing funnels, creating new content and best of all creating new friendships. For those of you who have not experienced a live event I can tell you from the heart that magic happens. I'm not talking about the "Rah-Rah" sessions where you sit in the audience and listen to a sales pitch but where you bring your laptop, your business and your marketing plan.
I really enjoy working in a room of people who all have different aspirations and are at different levels of success within their business. We inspire each other.
For example, I met Angela Brooks, who was the trainer for Social Media. Now you might think as a social media trainer myself I may have felt a bit uncomfortable with that. However, she was a gem to listen too and I picked up a few links that would help improve the management of social media with my clients. Plus we had a great time with the Twitter Hashtag #RAW3. This allowed the tweeters in the room to instantly connect with the people sitting across the table in the online world. I love it.
Another person I met was Kelly Kust. She is a single mom with a story that leaves a footprint on your heart. Not only is she a single mom but one with 7 children. She lost her husband to a car accident while pregnant with her 7th child. Imagine the loneliness she felt when she delivered that child and soon after found out her little girl had Down Syndrome. Kelly is an inspiring woman who has the ability to impact and inspire so many people. I believe that is her business model all together. If you would like to find out more about Kelly's story The Story is Here
And last but certainly not least. The ability to have expert eyes on your work during a live session is life changing. Not often do you get to bend the ear of the expert in person. I appreciated the feedback I received and have taken the notes and turned them into a proper marketing funnel that will reward me and the people I connect with. Here's to success.
Do me a favor and let me know if you have attended a workshop or live event for your business and what the results were for you. You can do that right on my Facebook Page
My Son Thinks I'm a Geek and I'm ProudBy · Comments
Another milestone in life is reached as my 15 year old secured a job working for someone else. He's made money in the past with odd jobs like shoveling and snowblowing for the neighbors but is ready to venture out into the world of becoming an employee.
As he left for work this morning we discussed the "Golden Rules" of how to be a good employee. The manager that interviewed him said "just show up on time and work hard" and Steven knows that's not good enough. So we reviewed the following together:
Firm Handshake – It shows confidence and control.
Smile – It can make someones day and really shows you care about the customer. Sometimes a smile can calm the angry customer.
Uniform neat – Wearing a clean uniform shows pride and respect.
Do a little more than what is expected – never sit and look bored or they might send you home. If you ask for more and do more without being told your chances of gaining additional responsibility are greater.
Always show honor and respect to others and HAVE FUN! People like to work with people who have fun.
Of course these are just a few of the things that I encourage my kids to use and they don't always make those choices. However, today I am proud to say "he's my kid". So as we walk out the door while reminding him of the above he turns and says "Mom, you are such a Geek, but I love you for it".

A new crack climb left of Rutabaga
After we fled high winds on the Malamute, we headed to the base of the Chief.
Here we found three nice cracks - Rutabaga, a new route to the left of Rutabaga, and Arrowroot. I volunteered to lead the new, middle route, which looked most my style - good feet, hand jams, some finger locks, and rest spots! I don't know the name of this new route, but enjoyed it greatly and think it's well worth climbing. It ends at a decent ledge with a two-bolt belay. We then climbed the rest of pitch one of Rutabaga, but not pitch two since we lacked sufficient small nuts.
Rutabaga, with one of the ubiquitous trees
Next we climbed Arrowroot, a short distance to the left. It's consists of good hand jams and face holds leading up to a fat fingers crux - about 0.5 Camalot size, too big for my fingers! However, the friction and feet remain decent, and I also stemmed near the small overlap. At the top, grab another ubiquitous tree and reach left for the anchors.

A couple of days after reports of a special edition Saab 9-3 surfaced in celebration of the company's independence from General Motors, the automaker has confirmed its particulars and corrected a few details along the way.
The 9-3 Independence Edition celebrates not only Saab's liberation out from under the GM umbrella, but also the 25th anniversary of the company's first convertible. It's based on the Aero trim model, but while earlier reports suggested it could get the 220-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo from the 9-5, the special edition is actually driven by a 1.9-liter diesel four with 180 horses and a six-speed automatic.
Amber Orange metallic is the dominant color, coating the exterior and highlighting the cabin with trim on the parchment leather sport seats and stitching on the steering wheel. There's also grey piping on the floor mats and carbon-look leather on the instrument panel, levers and handles. And while those special 18-inch wheels may look like they've got five spokes, but actually have twenty.
Only 366 examples of the Independence Edition will be made in all – one for each day of this year and another to kick off the next. Follow the jump for the press release and check out the pair of images in the gallery below.

The Runaway teens
Book by: Maisie Miller
Status: Finished
Genre: Science Fiction
Chapter7 (v.1) - Chapter 7-Nightmares are for babies-
Chapter 7
I was running. Fast and hard. A small sweaty hand held mine, tightly. Rye's panting was louder then mine, as he whimpered. We were running away, from the Rayners. Aka our parents. It was midnight, and the trees of our street, that were newly planted hung low, hiding the moon light, and street lamps. " Hayden…" Rye started, painting even harder. " They're waiting near the…" he breathed, " Near the sign for Ocean Street." He finally got out. It was all planed. Everything. Our runaway was that is. Emerson, was in my 4th grade class. He had sensed some magic in me, and when I came in everyday with a tear strained face, because my parents would hurt me, hit me, because Rye and I knew, what they were planning. They were afraid of us. I still remember the day Emerson approached me about it. We where in gym, and I threw the ball wicked hard, and it stuck in the wall. No one knew I did it except for Emerson. He came up to me after class, and talked to me about it. (Oh and by the way, he was already in the "group" by then) and that was the end of that. He convinced me it was the right thing. He told me about Levi, and Catcher, and there powers, but he never mentioned his own. We neared the sign for Ocean Street still running. It was the first time I had ever seen the mysterious Catcher, and Levi. Rye let go of my hand, as I first saw Levi. The moon shone on his pale face. Even from the distance I could see his purple eyes glimmering, and his long lashes. He was wearing a yellow shirt, and brown Capri. Catcher was smiling at us, waving. My first impression of him was "he looks nice." His hair was longer then Levi's by then, and blonder, (its darker now) he was wearing a dark shirt, and his cheeks were rosy red, and his eyes bore into mine, the darkest most beautiful brown I had ever seen. We jogged up to them, when the sirens started. "Hayden." Catcher smiled at me, and hugged me. His arm muscles where warm, and large, through my long sleeved green shirt. " Don't squeeze to hard muscle girl. " He said winking at me. Strength wasn't my only power but it was the only one they knew. " Catcher, I know greetings are your things, but we really need to get moving." Levi said. He was talking about the sirens, getting louder, and louder as the neared, our spot. They are coming. To get us. To catch us. I shook my head, of the scary thoughts, as my heads sweated enough to fill pools. Of course Levi the mind reader took my hand, and said " Wow, your right." He winked at me and pulled me behind him, as the other walked behind us. We were heading to a limo, which Catcher had manifested, just for our cause. The driver sat, in a straight position, not recognizing us, and motionless. Catcher opened the door for me, and Levi held my hand the whole time. " Now we can talk." Catcher said, slamming the door shut as we speed away from the crime scene never to be seen again. ;) Or at least that's what they thought.
I woke to the sound of my buzzing alarm clock. I had dreamt of Rye, and my escape, from our horrible parents, and fate they had planned. They hated us, and Rye had a vision- his first one ever- that they were going to kill us. Or me at least. When they found out we knew, they blamed us, for 'spying' I had this dream, nightmare, every night for the past month. I wiggled out of my warm pink comforter, and sighed. Back to school again. I walked out of my room towards the marble bathroom, and took a long, hot shower.

I'm in the doesn't matter camp, the Hanes and Nikes camp, and the stand there and take it from a hammer camp. Irregardless (yeah! I said it!) this guy was nuts, and could have used point blank shots to the eyeball with a BB gun if he wanted to.
ALSO- it has now been confirmed he bought the bulk of his ammo at Wal-Mart, which carries the WWB 147gr 9mm and very little else in 9mm JHP, and no other that is similiar in appearance to his pics.
He bought his chains and locks at Home Depot.
Doesnt much matter I guess, unless youre a "gotta know everything" kinda guy like me..

WinFX shows .net managed code is the future for MS developers
What is it?: WinFX is the application programming interface (API) used in Vista, the forthcoming version of Windows. FX stands for Framework Extension, and WinFX is literally an extension of the .net Framework.

What is it?: WinFX is the application programming interface (API) used in Vista, the forthcoming version of Windows. FX stands for Framework Extension, and WinFX is literally an extension of the .net Framework.
In 2003, when Microsoft unveiled WinFX, the replacement for Win32, analyst firm Gartner warned that developers would need to gain skills in the .net Framework to make use of the new API. Recent announcements concerning Windows Vista, better known by the codename Longhorn, spell the long-term demise of the Win32 programming model, and unmanaged code.

However, Microsoft has committed itself to ensuring that older applications will continue to run, and said all features will also be accessible to Win32 developers. "Existing source code and training skills apply to Windows Vista, whether developing in C++/MFC or VB.net/Windows Forms," it said.
WinFX is designed to be used primarily by .net languages, providing a consistent managed-code programming model. Windows Vista's new approaches to presentation and communications, the Windows Presentation and Communications Foundations (codenamed Avalon and
Indigo respectively) will both be exposed through WinFX.

The Win32 APIs (there are approximately 70,000 individual APIs in Win32) superseded Win16 in 1992, with the introduction of Windows NT. WinFX builds on the .net Framework, which was announced and released for public testing in 2000.
What is it for?
The three basic components of WinFX are the .net Framework, and the Avalon and Indigo subsystems. An XML-based markup language, XAML, has been developed for use with Avalon.
Managed code runs under the control of .net's Common Language Runtime, which takes care of burdens such as memory management - concerns that would otherwise have to be addressed by the developers themselves.
What makes it special?
As part of the operating system, WinFX has a closer relationship with low-level system resources than Win32. Developers may continue to develop applications with Win32, but the advantages of WinFX are persuasive, and include developing applications that should run unmodified both on the Windows Vista platform and other .net platforms. Existing .net applications should also be able to run without modification on Vista.
However, Gartner said the benefits of WinFX come at a cost. "While established Win32 applications will continue to run, a new application that takes full advantage of Avalon, Indigo and WinFS will not be backward-portable to platforms other than Longhorn," it said.
How difficult is it to master?
According to Microsoft, those who can already write managed code on the .net Framework will find WinFX "like second nature". Win32 programmers should see this as an opportunity to make the move to .net. Microsoft said, "Existing applications can incorporate WinFX-based functionality very easily."
What systems does it run on?
WinFX will also be made available on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
What is coming up?
The Windows Vista client, including WinFX, is due in 2006. Beta versions of the WinFX SDK and the Visual Studio extensions for WinFX can be downloaded from the Microsoft website.

Apparently kissing Samiel sparked a few memories. That night I dreamt of Annette. At least, I think it was Annette. The two of them looked so similar... I dreamt of the last time I saw her. The last, fleeting kiss before she jumped...
I didn't sleep well that night, as I'm sure you could imagine. I shuffled into the kitchen the next morning, wondering what to do with my day when all I really wanted to do was sleep. I stopped walking when I saw Samiel, though. What was she doing in my kitchen?
"What are you doing here?"
She looked over her shoulder, blushing, before turning back to the cupboard she was going through. It was then that I noticed she was only wearing one of Elioth's shirts. It just about covered her, thankfully.
"I stayed over" she mumbled and I scowled.
"Even after I told you to stay away"
"Well, yeah. I didn't plan staying over" she opened another cupboard, reaching up to get a bowl.
The scowl stayed pressed to my face as the shirt rode up a little. She turned to face me again.
"Do you have any blood?" she asked, spooning some cereal into her mouth.
"I might do. Why?"
"Bit thirsty" she ate some more cereal, a disgusted look creeping onto her face. She put the bowl down. "How do you eat that?"
"Chew and swallow"
"It's disgusting" she said, starting to head out of the kitchen. "I'm going back to bed"
"I'm not happy about this"
"I don't care"
I scowled again. "Feed on him and I'll kill you"
She stopped, turning to face me. "I'm not going to and you really think you could kill me?"
"Not really but I'm sure it would be amusing to try"
"Amusing? How so?" she asked wearing a curious expression.
I chuckled, getting some cereal and eating it.
"How so?" she asked, following me.
I didn't say anything and she grabbed my shoulder, forcing me to face her.
"How so?" she growled.
I chuckled again. "You know, you really do remind me of my fiancé"
She froze. "What?"
"She had a short temper, bless her"
"Do I have a short temper? Never noticed. I think my reactions are normal for what I am"
"You look a lot like her too"
"If all this is gonna make you have some sort of creepy crush on me, stop"
"Did I say I loved her?"
"No, did you?"
I scowled again. "I couldn't stand her"
"Well, good. Now we'll be on the same page"
"You test my patience, Samiel"
She stepped closer to me. "Well, maybe, you patience needs to be tested"
"What are you doing?"
"What?" she asked, looking confused.
I ate some more of my breakfast. "Thought you were going back to bed"
"You started threatening me"
I carried on eating and she rolled her eyes, walking away.
"Can't believe you're eating that"
"Tastes nice"
She headed back to Elioth's room and I finished my breakfast, heading back to my own room to have a little blood. What? A vampire's got to eat, you know.

The State Long-Term Services and Supports Scorecard found wide variation in how states perform across the 25 indicators that comprise the key dimensions of a high-performing system.The Scorecard is designed to help states improve the performance of their long-term services and supports (LTSS) systems by targeting opportunities for improvement. Looking to other states that performed better in specific areas can inform potential paths for improvement. Leading states do well on multiple indicators, but even states with a low ranking scored in the top quartile for at least one indicator. A series of case studies provides a deeper context for understanding how high-, medium-, and low-ranking states performed for the baseline Scorecard, and how they are already striving to improve LTSS for older people and adults with physical disabilities. This case study focuses on Idaho.

The Associated Press has released video from a Bill Cosby interview in which Cosby not only refuses to answer questions about recently surfaced rape allegations, but also pressures the AP reporter to 'scuttle' the portion of the interview about the allegations.
The interview took place on November 6th, but was just released this week.
"I would appreciate it if it was scuttled. I think if you want to consider yourself to be serious, that it will not appear anywhere."
"I know I didn't say anything, but I'm asking your integrity that since I didn't want to say anything, but I did answer you in terms of I didn't want to say anything, what value would it have?" Cosby pleaded.
The reporter made no promises and referred those decisions to his editor.
The AP did not originally release the portion of the interview that addressed the rape allegations, but have now released it in light of additional allegations of abuse against the legendary comedian.
Jaden and Willow Smith, the 16- and 14-year-old children of actors Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, gave an "exclusive joint" interview to the New York Times' T Magazine that almost everyone agrees is the craziest interview of all time.
Topics of discussion include the unknowability of time, the duality of the human mind, "the melancholiness of the ocean" and much more.
For example: The first question was, "What have you been reading?" Willow said, "Quantum physics. Osho." Jaden said, "The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life" and ancient texts; things that can't be pre-dated."
"Every Single Thing About This Jaden and Willow Smith Interview Is Nuts," declared Gawker's Jordan Sargent, who wrote: "There's nothing more I can add to it. Please read the entire thing because these two children are both literally and figuratively our future."
There were a few things to add. The Daily Dot's Cooper Fleishman turned the sit-down into a "Shakespearean interview," the lines broken into iambic petameter; while a host of news outlets gave us the 5, 6 and 11 weirdest, really deep and/or most enlightening moments from the piece.
"It is 2014," wrote Mashable's Max Knoblauch. "What a time to be alive."
UPDATE: According to a TMZ report, former baseball star Jose Canseco admitted that his claim that his surgically re-attached finger fell off while playing poker was a hoax. Read the original story below.
In a series of tweets Monday, Canseco said he was thinking of selling on eBay the detached finger and the gun that shot it off.
On Oct. 28, Canseco was cleaning his gun in the kitchen of his Las Vegas home when the weapon fired and accidentally shot off a finger on his left hand, police said. He reportedly had surgery to reattach the finger.
>>Earlier: Jose Canseco says finger 'fell off' during poker tournament
Then, in a bizarre series of tweets last week, Canseco said the finger "fell off" during a poker tournament.
"I knew something crazy was going to happen with this ... finger cause it felt like it was falling off," Canseco tweeted Friday.

A music video suddenly making its way around YouTube has people wondering if they've just witnessed the next "Gangnam Style" or, perhaps, have just suffered a psychotic break.
The bizarre music video "Chick Chick" by Chinese singer Rong "Rollin" Wang appears to trying to ride the same viral lightning that led the success of Korean singer Psy and Norwegian duo Ylvis ("What the Fox say?").
Wang is dressed in a white chicken corset as shirtless men in horse masks dance around making barnyard animal noises.
But trying to describe the video is pure folly. It has to be seen to be appreciated.
According to ABC, Wang is singing in Mandarin: "Mother Hen, Mother Hen," "Little Chick, Little Chick," "Rooster, Rooster" and "Who stole my chicken feed?" However, the song's hook is just a series of clucking and squawking noises.
Though the song lacks some of the catchiness that made "Gangnam Style" and "The Fox" hits, it's likely that "Chick Chick" will be seen and heard on a lot of computers around the world this week.
The Fifty Shades of Grey movie just got a whole lot hotter.
A brand-new trailer for the highly anticipated film based on the best-selling erotic novel by E.L. James debuted Thursday night during Scandal, and it's a even racier than the initial trailer that debuted in July.
Most notable perhaps is a flash of a tied-up Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) on the bed with Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) kissing her stomach. Not to mention the brief glimpses of all manner of straps and whips.
Looks like producers are aiming to put all the rumors to rest that there's no on-screen heat between Johnson and Dornan on-screen.

Fifty Shades wrapped filming in February, but did reshoots with a bulging Dornan in October.
Earlier this month, the 32-year-old British actor revealed he will not be going full-frontal in the sexy film.
"You want to appeal to as wide an audience as possible without grossing them out," he told The Guardian. "You don't want to make something gratuitous, and ugly, and graphic. There were contracts in place that said that viewers wouldn't be seeing my ...todger."
But according to screenwriter Kelly Marcel, fans will definitely not be disappointed with the handsome actor's performance -- in fact, she thinks he should get an Oscar.
"Apparently Jamie is great at being soft and hard at the same time," Marcel, 40, said during a chat with author Reza Aslan in in August for an installment of her "An Evening in the Writer's Room" series. "He's going to get an Oscar!"
Fifty Shades of Grey hits theaters in February 2015.

Celebrity lemur Jovian, the star of the PBS wildlife show for kids, "Zoboomafoo", died at the Duke Lemur Center in Durham, N.C., Monday. He was 20 years old.
"He'd jump in through the window and we'd feed him mangoes or garbanzo beans. Sometimes he'd grab our noses with those soft sifaka hands," co-host Martin Kratt said on Facebook.
Social media response to Jovian's passing was touching. Here is a look at some of those social media posts:

Wheel of Fortune's iconic host Pat Sajak couldn't believe what he was hearing out of his contestants and almost left the building.
Sajak decided that they were being so ridiculous that it was time for him to be ridiculous too.
One team got a the letter "n" right and then tried to guess the rest of the puzzle then and there. "Riding a brown horse!" one contestant yelled out.
The next team got the letter "g" right and guessed "riding a white horse!"
Everyone was laughing, including Sajak who started to make his way offstage in mock protest.
"Who said anything about a horse?!" the host yelled as soon as he got back.
It's hilarious that the category of this puzzle was "What are you doing?" because no one answering seemed to know what they were doing and no one listening knew what was going on.
What was the answer this puzzle? Reportedly, "seeing a buddy movie."
Looking back, the other two answers seem more plausible than that.
Much of the original cast of "The Love Boat" were joined by several of the show's former guest stars to help christen a new line of cruise ships in Ft. Lauderdale, Wednesday.
The reunion included Gavin Macleod (Capt. Merrill Stubing), Lauren Tewes (Cruise Director Julie McCoy), Fred Grandy (Purser Gopher Smith), Bernie Kopell (Dr. Adam Bricker), Jill Whelan (Vicki Stubing), and Ted Lange (Bartender Isaac Washington).
People magazine reports that along with the crew, several of the show's repeat guest stars were there as well, including 8-time guest star Charo.
The other stars in the reunion were Doris Roberts, Dick Van Patten, Joyce DeWitt, Charlene Tilton, Jamie Farr, Florence Henderson, Diane Ladd, Marion Ross, Kristy McNichol, Carol Lawrence, Lee Meriwether, Jeraldine Saunders, Lorenzo Lamas, Loni Anderson, MacKenzie Phillips, Adrian Zmed, Christopher Knight, Don Most and Tracy Nelson.
"Love Boat" aired from 1977-1987. If you are feeling nostalgic for the show, according to People, TV Guide Network is airing a marathon of "Love Boat" episodes through Thursday.

The firm has snapped up star Camerons construction partner Julian Hill and Linklaters partner Elaine Kwee.
Hill, who was head of Camerons' Hong Kong energy projects and construction practice, has joined Minters as a partner and will lead the firm's six-lawyer Asian construction team. He takes with him Camerons associate Stephen Yip. Kwee, who specialises in energy and infrastructure financing and M&A, joins as special counsel.
Together with Anthony Hill, who joined last month from the defunct Sinclair Roche & Temperley Hong Kong partnership (The Lawyer, 10 June), the new hires are part of a serious Asian push by Minters.
Hong Kong managing partner Sam Farrands said: "The Hong Kong office is the hub of Minter Ellison's Asian practice. We need a strong team on the ground here to handle not only the increasing level of work locally, but also throughout Asia."
Farrands added that the firm had recently secured a number of lucrative appointments, including projects for the Hong Kong government and Asiawide projects for DuPont and General Electric subsidiary GE Global eXchange.
Julian Hill worked for a number of high-profile clients at Camerons, including the Hong Kong government's state bodies. It is understood that he has taken a number of clients with him to Minters. Anthony Hill, a commercial litigator and insolvency lawyer who joined Minters as head of litigation services, also had a number of high-end clients, including PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Camerons partner Mark Badger will take over Julian Hill's construction-focused responsibilities, but the firm has not yet decided who will handle energy.
According to Mark Moseley, head of Camerons' global practice group for energy projects and construction, the loss of the government-focused Julian Hill will allow the firm to focus on more lucrative developer clients.
The firm is also reviewing where in greater China it should base its construction lawyers. It has recently recruited Molly Rilley from Masons and Luke Filei from Simmons & Simmons, both of whom are currently based in the People's Republic.

Jul 14, 2010 at 7:59 pm #1261175
Forget the VIA, nescafe, other instants, fancy presses or screen inserts, or complicated drip contraptions.
My old standby has been nescafe instant espresso for years, having tried various other methods/products. Down to my last 4 singles sticks, I go to order more and now it seems it's unavailable in the USA. There are some other nescafe single serving sticks, but they are not nearly as good (to my taste buds) as the instant espresso.
So I start experimenting with cowboy coffee, which I remember doing a long time ago. Keeping in mind that I'm somewhat of a coffee snob – I roast my own coffee and have an espresso maker at home – my drink of choice is straight espresso or an Americano (2 oz espresso + 4 oz hot water). Don't really like drip. So I start experimenting with cowboy coffee and the results with a little practice are excellent! In fact, I'd go so far to say that I can get a better cup of coffee than an Americano out of my espresso machine. The great part is how easy it is to make: Just a small kettle or pot, water, and coffee grounds. No extra equipment required. I think I've reached camping coffee nirvana.
Oh, and the coffee tastes much better drunk out of a Kuksa.Jul 14, 2010 at 8:13 pm #1629055

Ok, so I'll bite. How do you do it Daniel? How do you make the perfect cup of cowboy coffee?
I actually enjoy instant, it reminds me of drinking roadside instant nescafe with goats milk and raw cane sugar driving down a dark tijuana road with my dad. good times, thanks dad.Jul 19, 2010 at 10:18 pm #1630581

I've always done cowboy coffee just fine. The technique I use:
Two scoops of coffee in a small pill ziplock is enough for my morning brew.
Fill water, add grounds.
Bring to a boil…it will foam and and boil over.
Just before it boils over, add a shot of cold water.
Bring to a boil again, adding another shot of cold water at the very end.
Then I give it a centrifugal swish, let it sit for a second, and drink.
The cold water shots seem pretty imperative for making the grounds drop. I've noticed that without the cold water they stay in suspension.

I don't know how possible it would be to dry your own cold brewed coffee to make it "instant", but I would like to try brewing some grounds as I walk for the first day, and just using the cold brewed mix as I need it. A fine mesh tea strainer works fine for this.Jul 20, 2010 at 12:06 pm #1630728
I've experimented with various methods and I've found they all give similar results.
Keep in mind I tend to like real strong coffee. I just use the espresso grind my grinder is set too. A courser grind would probably be more typical, but I've made Turkish coffee before, which is an extremely fine grind, and Turkish is made similarily to cowboy coffee, so I use an espresso grind, which is somewhere in between.
I boil the water, and once boiling, I remove the pot from the stove, add my coffee (I don't measure, you'll have to experiment to see how strong you like it), and stir it a bit. I then set the pot on the stove till it boils again, which should not take long. I usually just let it boil a few seconds more and remove it from the heat. Then I just let the pot sit for a few minutes to let the grounds settle.
You then want to pour it slowly into your cup. You should not really get many grounds in the cup, most should have remained in the pot. Just make sure than you don't "drink to the last drop" and you will be fine. I find it best to brew a bit more than I will drink, so the grounds stay at the bottom.
This page shows essentially how I do it:

Last Day of Touring
... their huge, beautifully landscaped infinity pool. By then it was getting dark. The walk to the pool led through gorgeous tropical greenery and an "Arab Village" section of the hotel, designed to look like an idealized traditional village.
Back at the hotel, we joined many in our group in the bar and then went to our buffet dinner, which was decidedly superior to those at previous hotels. And so to bed, looking forward to our last day.
Not mad for Madaba - death wish city!!
... toward them they purposely moved further in to the road. As we slowed down they banged the bonnet and tried to grab the door handles. My mum warned us not to wander off the beaten track!! Mother is always right!! At this point in time we think our track was well and truly beaten!!

... impressive to say the least with some mosaics alone taking 10-12 months to create.
Unfortunately being on a budget and travelling only with a backpack meant that we would not be buying.
After the mosaic school we headed for our hotel in Madaba where we arrived sometime after dark. Feeling totally wrecked from our long day it was enough to check in and get some shawarma sandwiches in the room for dinner before falling into a deep and very necessary sleep.

It was cold but was it a record?
It might say spring on the calendar, but winter is relinquishing its hold on the lakes area with great reluctance.
And Monday morning's chill in the air went down in the record books — at least for the Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport.
At 7 a.m. the low temperature at the airport was 2 degrees.
The Weather Channel's historical data for the Brainerd area listed the previous record low of 6 degrees on March 28, 1969. But the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration online weather data lists 7 below as the lowest temperature recorded in Brainerd on March 28, 1923.
Both are right.
"Yes it was a record for the airport, but for the Brainerd weather history probably not," said Kevin Kraujalis, assistant forecaster with the National Weather Service in Duluth.
Kraujalis said temperature records at the airport go back as far as 1956. The low Monday morning was the lowest at the airport in that recorded time, beating the 1969 mark.
But, Kraujalis said cooperative data for Brainerd has weather information dating back to 1899, including the 7 below temperature recorded in 1923 in the city long before there was an airport recording the weather.
Monday's low was well off the norm of 20 degrees.
"We've noticed since that snow that hit central Minnesota and north central Wisconsin, those areas have been consistently colder than areas to the north, but the late March sun is working on the snowfall," Kraujalis said.
Monday night into early Tuesday morning was expected to be cold again, but not quite as chilly. The stronger sun is combining with cold, dry air with a high pressure system.
When the air is this dry, Kraujalis said the temperatures rise quickly in the day and drop quickly at night. By the end of the week, temperatures are expected to be more seasonal. But the long-term prospects, looking out six to 10 days and eight to 14 days, call for below-normal temperatures.
By the way, the record low for Tuesday in Brainerd was recorded on March 29, 1944, at 2 degrees. The weather service expects Tuesday's high to reach 39 degrees.
On Monday, the temperatures climbed quickly to reach 31 degrees just before 11 a.m. and reached a high for the day of 35 degrees just before 5 p.m.
On the plus side, the colder temps have slowed the snow melt and provided relief for some flood-prone areas and allowed more time for flood preparations.
"In terms of that, it's been great," said Dean Packingham, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Duluth.
Last Friday, a flood advisory was issued by the weather service for the Mississippi River near Fort Ripley.
Monday, the river was below 8.56 feet at Fort Ripley. Flood stage is 10 feet, but the river has to be at 16 feet to affect a private residence downstream and at 26 feet to affect Fort Ripley and the community, the weather service reported.
But precipitation is not out of the forecast. The weather service lists a chance of rain and snow for Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday.
The weekend is expected to provide a warm-up with highs pushing toward 50 degrees on Saturday and Sunday. The weather service anticipates a high of 45 degrees Friday and 46 degrees Saturday and Sunday, although Saturday appears to be the best day of the weekend. Sunday calls for clouds and a chance of rain and snow.
Packingham said the prediction model for the weekend indicates lingering drizzle and rain that doesn't amount to much participation overall.
Models are a bit more divided in predicting what another weather system expected early next week may provide for significant rainfall. Packingham said most models indicate less rain but warmer night temperatures may be in store.
While the sun is making its presence known with cloudless blue skies of late, temperatures for the week can't exactly be called balmy with April just days away.
The weather service estimates temperatures for the week will be in the low to upper 40s with lows mostly in the 20s.
"This cold weather could be somewhat of a blessing in disguise for those downstream," Kraujalis said, noting the slow melt. "Everybody remembers how beautiful it was last spring — not this spring."
He said hopefully by the end of April the region will have warm weather it can hang on to and until then golfers will have extra time to practice their swings.

Sleeping beauty and the bench in the park
I woke up in my bedroom with a warm cloth on my forhead. It's odd,I really don't ever remember getting here. As I slip out from the covers, yawning, there's a knock on my door.
The door creaks open, my mom peaking through.
"Mind if I come in?" I shrug and she takes this as a yes.
"You know I found you lying on a bench in a park about three blocks away from home."
I frown, thinking hard about how I got from flying into the sky to lying on a bench in a park.
"Was I asleep?"
"Yes" She noded sighing.
"Look honey, it's one thing to come home three hours late on a daily bases but to leave through your freaking window and walk three blocks, leaving me to find you in some park,now that's pushing it."
I stare down at my hand and play with the hair elastique on my wrist, bending and stretching it.
"Babes, pay attention"
"Oh sorry, look mom I'm really sorry and next time i'll ask if I want to go out first."
My mom looks shocked, she rubs her forhead deciding what to say.
"Well, I can tell you, I had a whole lecture prepared but I really didn't think you woud just go out there and say sorry like that!" She laughs smiling.
I don't know how to react, I don't like talks like this with my mother, it makes me feel vulnerable and uncomfortable.
"Do you want anything to eat than?"
"No, I'm fine thanks"
My mom smiles and kisses my forhead.
"We'll than, I guess i'll leave you to it."
She leaves the door opened, something that annoys me so much, and than walks down stairs. As I listen to her footsteps I wonder what it's like to be my mother, how it feels to have a child like me. It's probably a lot easier than being me. I crawl back into the cover, pulling the covers up to my chin. My eyes flutter close and soon I fall into a very deep sleep.

Henry Selick Will Adapt Neil Gaiman's 'The Graveyard Book'Jacob Hall April 28, 2012 @ 3:45 PM
Sometimes, a filmmaker and an author are a match made in heaven. Case in point: Henry Selick and Neil Gaiman. Although Selick's stop-motion adaptation of Gaiman's 'Coraline' may not have followed the book beat-for-beat, it perfectly captured the strange, nightmarish whimsy that is inherent in so much of the author's work. Now, Selick will take on Gaiman yet again, this time with an adaptation of 'The Graveyard Book.'

Genre: Drama, War

Duration: 120 min
Quality: HD []
Release: Oct 09, 2015
IMDb: 6.1
Ask most movie goers about war movies and you'll find that they think the only people involved have been Americans and those they are fighting against.
They forget that other countries have been involved in all major wars. HYENA ROAD takes a look at the war on terrorism in Afghanistan and looks at it through the eyes of another fighting force, that of Canada. Jokes have been made at Canada's expense but the fact of the matter is that they've been involved in most major wars as much as any other country (another example was THE DEVIL'S BRIGADE which showed how the US special forces were trained and combined with the Canadian team in WWII).
HYENA ROAD takes a look at the current war through the eyes of three main characters. Ryan (Rossif Sutherland) is the head of a sniper team for who the war is cut and dried. Those are the bad guys, we are the good guys, we take them out, period. There are no gray areas. They follow instructions and feel every stop of the way that they are fighting the good fight.
The second set of eyes on hand belong to Pete (Paul Gross, the writer and director as well), a member of military intelligence who fights the war as a game of chess, moving players from one spot to another, using every piece of data to make a decision. Pete realizes that there are more things going on that a straight out frontal assault. There are decisions to be made based on the customs of the land and the players involved. Of the three characters Pere probably has a better idea than most of what is happening and will happen.
Lastly there is "The Ghost" (Niamatullad Arghandabi). The Ghost was a fierce fighter during the Afghan war against the Russians, a living legend whose stature among his people is highly regarded. In hiding for years Pete wants to find out why he has returned, if he is there to help their cause or that of the enemy. As the story plays out it seems their connection is for the better. But more is going on beneath the surface here.
The three stories overlap when Ryan and his team bring back information on the fact that the Ghost is in the area. Having no idea who he is they are contacted by Pete and he fills them in and works with them to set up a meet. When the main bad guy Walid shows and abducts little children the team wants to take him out there and then but Ryan stops them from doing so. Their frustration is palpable and a confrontation with Pete inevitable when they return to camp. But as Pete sits down with Ryan to explain the situation, to let him know that the long game is more important, it doesn't set well with Ryan or his team even though they understand.
For the team the line has now been blurred. What is the right thing to do? Who are the fighting? And what plans are in store for both them and the Ghost? While watching the film you begin to understand all the planning and moving of soldiers that are necessary to achieve the final goals of the military but you also witness the fact that other players in the game, mainly the Ghost, have motives and moves of their own. And the main pawns being played by both sides in this game are Ryan and his men.
Not only is this movie interesting for the sake of looking at the war from the perspective of the military of another country, the story that it all centers around is fascinating as well. Far too many think of the people of Afghanistan that live in the hills as simple peasants but the truth is they are more shrewd than some give them credit for. They haven't survived for the centuries that they have by being just goat herders. This film treats them as opponents worth of stepping up to the chess board placed on the table by Pete. There are moments in this film that will disturb viewers when they see how children are treated and sold by callous villains. There are moments that will offer glimpses of violence of soldiers in the field that are realistic and gruesome. There are moments of concern you will have for the different characters involved in this story. And in the end you'll leave this film knowing you've seen a war film that tells a story, tells it well and is more realistic than most. This one is worth taking a look at.
