Trivia about The Amazing Spider-Man.
- Andrew Garfield requested that the song "Pure Imagination" from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory be played when filming the otherwise silent scene in which Peter goes into the web harvesting room with the spiders.
- Released during the 50th Anniversary of Spider-Man.
- When first wearing the Spider-Man costume Andrew Garfield admitted to shedding tears.
- On selecting Andrew Garfield to play Peter Parker/Spider-Man, director Marc Webb said, "Though his name may be new to many, those who know this young actor's work understand his extraordinary talents. He has a rare combination of intelligence, wit, and humanity. Mark my words, you will love Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker."
- To prepare for his role as Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield studied the movements of spiders and tried to incorporate them as much as he could: "Parker is a boy/spider in terms of how he moves, and not just in the suit."
- In this film Spider-Man uses artificial devices to shoot webs, inspired from the original comics where he possessed similar devices for his webbing (only later would he gain the superhuman ability to shoot webs). Marc Webb explained the web-shooters were a creative decision to showcase Peter's intellect: "We wanted to emphasize that these are things that Peter Parker made and that he is special himself even if he feels like he's an outsider."
- After Denis Leary was cast, his friend Jeff Garlin, a Spider-Man fan, said "I knew you would get the part." To which Leary replied "Why? Because I'm such a great actor?" Garlin then said, "no, because you look just like Captain Stacy."
- Before filming, Rhys Ifans researched his role by meeting several real handicapped people (who have missing limbs). He also spent one month performing his daily activities using only his left hand - it includes tying a tie. There script has small snippet written where Connors ties a tie but it was not filmed as it was too time consuming.
- There are several aspects of this film's interpretation of Spider-Man that resemble the comic book Spider-Man much closer than the Sam Rami films' Spider-Man. Obviously, his abilities differ from the first series regarding web slinging. The concept of Parker building devices for shooting webs was the original concept in the comic books. Spider-Man also does much more taunting and smack-talk with his opponents than in previous films. In the Marvel Universe while Deadpool is known as the "Merc with the Mouth", to Spider-Man's villains he held the same reputation. Most of Spider-Man's villains shared the same hatred of his talking so much junk.
- Originally conceived as "Spider-Man 4," a direct sequel to the original film trilogy, Sony Pictures had actually begun pre-production before opting to make this film as a reboot instead. Sony re-negotiated contracts with director Sam Raimi and stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst (each receiving a reported $30 million) for a three picture deal with the intention of starting a new trilogy in the series. Scripts were commissioned from writers James Vanderbilt, Alvin Sargent, David Koepp and Gary Ross, with each writer earning upwards of $1 million or more for their services. The story would have introduced the Vulture as a new villain: Raimi initially approached Ben Kingsley for the role before casting John Malkovich. Malkovich was actually slated to play Norman Osborn in the original film series, but had to withdraw due to scheduling conflicts. In addition to the Vulture, the film would also introduce the villainess Felicia Hardy, with Anne Hathaway set to play the character. In the initial story, Hardy would become her comic book alter-ego Black Cat, though later script rewrites recreated Hardy as an original character called Vulturess (after her departure, Hathaway would take on a similar role in The Dark Knight Rises). Raimi also expressed interest in having Dylan Baker return as Dr. Curt Connors, who would transform into the villain The Lizard, though Executive Producer Avi Arad vetoed this idea. With development costs skyrocketing in excess of $100 million, Raimi unhappy with repeated versions of the script, and tensions rising between Raimi, Maguire and the studio, Sony opted (in January 2010) to cancel the film and reboot the series instead. Raimi, for his part, has said it was for the best, as the director had been unhappy with Spider-Man 3 citing studio interference, and "hated" the storyline concocted for the proposed fourth film.
- It was a creative decision by the filmmakers to have most of the stunts performed practically on rigs by actors/stuntmen, rather than extensively use CGI animation. Marc Webb explained they wanted to make the film more physical and thus more realistic. While filming in New York the crew built a whole rig hundreds of feet long over Riverside Drive in Harlem, and Andy Armstrong built a car rig with a series of wires to help with VFX which required an incredible wealth of acrobatics
- All four Spider-Man films have filmed on the Universal Studios Hollywood back lot. Ironically symbolic of the series itself, portions of the back lot burned down on June 1, 2008, meaning that first three used the old back lot while this reboot uses the new back lot.
- Before Andrew Garfield was announced for the lead part, Taylor Lautner, Josh Hutcherson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Logan Lerman, Robert Pattinson, Jamie Bell, Daniel Radcliffe, Michael Angarano, Michael Cera, Alden Ehrenreich, Zac Efron, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Xavier Samuel, Jim Sturgess, Liam Aiken and Anton Yelchin were also considered to play the lead role.
- The filmmakers cite Steve Ditko's early work on 'Spider-Man' and Brian Bendis's 'Ultimate Spider-Man' comic, and Batman Begins as an influence on the film.
- The first of two movies in 2012 to feature a character performed by Irrfan Khan speaking of another character who happens to be named Richard Parker. The second is Life of Pi.
- The pop culturally misquoted line by Ben Parker "With great power comes great responsibility", prominent in the Sam Raimi movies, is not once uttered in this film. The voice-mail left by Ben alludes to this, but never directly quotes it. This is actually more in keeping with Amazing Fantasy #15, the first telling of the story, where it was merely a text box that said "With great power, there must also come great responsibility" in Amazing Fantasy #15. Marvel Comics' universe has been frequently revised and rebooted, giving us the more famous version of the line.
- This is the first "Spider-Man" film to not feature Spider-Man's perennial love interest Mary Jane Watson (in Sam Raimi's three films played by Kirsten Dunst). Instead, Peter Parker's original girlfriend Gwen Stacy appears (who had been played by Bryce Dallas Howard in Spider-Man 3).
- During one scene in Peter's bedroom, a photo of actor/comedian Donald Glover, is visible. In 2010, when the movie was first announced and initial casting for the role of Spider-Man was underway, Glover used Twitter to somewhat jokingly campaign for an audition.
- According to costume designer Kym Barrett, the Spider-Man costume was specially designed to resemble an acrobat costume: "We wanted a design that would make the body longer and more lithe, someone incredibly agile; the legs of the spider-symbol on the chest were used to emphasize that."
- The film noticeably borrows a few story elements from the first seven issues of the Ultimate Spider-Man series. A few examples are that not only was Spider-Man's mutation connected to OsCorp like in the comics, but also Spider-Man battled the villain in his school after the villain discovered his secret identity.
- Denis Leary's first live action theatrical film appearance since Bad Boy and The Secret Lives of Dentists. In the intervening 10 years he had only been in television and cartoons.
- When first wearing the Spider-Man costume Andrew Garfield admitted to shedding tears.
- The first film to use RED's Epic series digital cameras. Originally, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was going to be the first feature to use it but a delay at the start of the production instead gave this film the distinction. However, when shooting began in December 2010, the camera model was still in its prototype stages so an engineer from RED had to be on standby throughout the shoot for immediate technical assistance and support.
- Ashley Greene, Mia Wasikowska, Scout Taylor-Compton Teresa Palmer, Amber Heard, Dianna Agron, Brooklyn Decker, Imogen Poots, Lindsay Lohan, Emma Roberts, Emily Browning, Lily Collins, Anna Kendrick, Ophelia Lovibond, Sara Paxton, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Georgina Haig, Hilary Duff and Dominique McElligott were considered for the role of Gwen Stacy, but were beaten out by Emma Stone. It is interesting to note that one of the other names Mary Elizabeth Winstead had played Gwen Grayson (named for Gwen Stacy) in the superhero spoof Sky High.
- In Peter's bedroom a photo of actor/comedian Donald Glover, is visible. In 2010, when the movie was first announced and initial casting for the role of Spider-Man was underway, Glover used Twitter to somewhat jokingly campaign for an audition.
- In a deleted scene (shown on the DVD), Rhys Ifans interacts with his character's son Billy, played by Miles Elliot.
- Originally there was suppose to be two other villains with The Lizard in the film Proto-Goblin, and Big Wheel (both old comic book villains). But they were both cut (Big Wheel was just an idea before being cut) because the movie would have been too long, there would have been too many origins, and there would have been too many fight scenes. Irrfan Khan plays Dr. Rajit Ratha, the character who would have been the Proto-Goblin.
- This marks the second time that artin Sheen and Cliff Robertson have shared a part: Uncle Ben Parker whom Robertson played in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films. They previously played John F. Kennedy in Kennedy and PT 109, respectively.
- Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy) and Sally Field (Aunt May) share the same birthday.
- During filming, the sleeve that Rhys Ifans wore so his right arm could be removed in post-production was referred to as "Kermit" because its green color resembled Kermit the Frog, the famous Muppet.
- Irrfan Khan got the role of Dr Ratha on the basis of his performance in the drama series In Treatment.
- This film marks the first time Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans) becomes The Lizard on film. Although Curt Connors appeared in Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3, played by Dylan Baker, the character never became the Lizard despite some strong hints, and was set to become the Lizard in some script treatments which were never green lighted.
- Michael Fassbender was originally considered for the role of Dr Curt Connors; he eventually went on to play Magneto in X-Men: First Class. His Inglourious Basterds (2009) co-star Christoph Waltz was later rumored to be attached to the part.
- John Slattery, Sam Elliott and R. Lee Ermey were rumored for the role of J. Jonah Jameson. However, this character, a legendary part of Spider-Man's mythos, does not appear in this film.
- The penultimate film produced by Laura Ziskin who died June 12, 2011. Her final film was Lee Daniels' The Butler.
- Denis Leary's portrayal as Captain Stacy in the film is based on the version from the "Ultimate Spider-Man" comics where Captain Stacy was portrayed as a younger character, when compared to the version from the mainstream Spider-Man comics and Spider-Man 3 (2007) (as portrayed by James Cromwell) who was a much older character.
- Andrew Garfield was announced for the lead role in early July 2010.
- Cameo
- Michael Papajohn: the Carjacker from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man series appears as Dr. Ratha's driver Alfred. Papajohn is the only actor to appear in both live-action versions of Spider-Man's origin.
- Stan Lee: The man in the library unaware of the events going on behind him.
- Tia Texada: the woman on the subway whose black shirt is accidentally torn off by Peter, revealing her pink bra.
- The first live-action Spider-Man motion picture where a main villain's fate is to be captured and put in prison for his crimes, rather than to escape or to be killed.
- Marc Webb describes the theme of the movie as "the missing piece within all of us: Peter has no parents, and he fills that void with Spider-Man. Curt is not as strong as Spider-Man on the inside, but he wants to get back his arm and fill that void, and essentially he becomes a big bully."
- The Daily Bugle newspaper office (and all associated characters) do not appear in this film, a first for the Spider-Man feature film franchise. However, there is a shot of the newspaper's front page offering a reward for proof of the Lizard's existence following his rampage on the bridge. The Daily Bugle logo can also be seen later in the film in the bottom corner of a newscast featuring the Lizard.
- In this film Captain George Stacy is strongly opposed to Spider-Man's activities, (although he does admit that he was wrong at the end), and Gwen Stacy is both aware and supportive of Peter Parker's role as Spider-Man. This is in stark contrast to the mainstream comics, where George Stacy was a strong supporter of Spider-Man, and confessed on his death bed that he was aware of Peter's identity, while Gwen Stacy blamed Spider-Man for her father's death, and as such Peter never informed her of his identity (After comic book continuity was rebooted, Gwen did eventually learn and accept Spider-Man's secret identity in the "Ultimate Spider-Man" series).

The new iOS 7 has surpassed all its processors in terms of its previous model. The thing is it is more beautiful agile and charismatic than any other iOS in the market. You be sure to try it for a brand new experience. Trust me that you will be satisfied. Following is some key point of the iOS.
Beautiful Look
Anyone with eyes will like the new iOS. I am not kidding. If you remember the first iPhone then you will surely know that the first iOS's interface was the best looking operating system that the world has seen ever before. This iOS 7 is even better. Its design is probably better but also has been influences by the other rival device companies. This device has focused in the compactness of the design like every other device maker.
New Cool Apps
The iOS has been influenced greatly by the Google these days. Although it is Google influenced operating system it also has the space for using the other social apps. You can use Intagram, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Google etc so that you will not be left alone in the social world. It has much better than the things than the iOS 6. Although we had expectations that the things will only go as far as copying the features of the previous version, The iOS 7 has gone far better than the expectation.
Overall color change
The iOS 7 has an interface that has white color. The icons are mostly white. So it pops out better when you use it. It looks better in many ways. That is why the iOS has replaced its dark look in the iOS 7 that is assumingly the most beautiful iOS in this entire line. Some people may disagree with me. But I think it is better.
More Agility
If you are already satisfied with the current agility level of the other iOS then prepare to be amazed. The iOS holds a pack of punch for you. You will feel the sleek and faster system like never before. It is sleek enough to rival even the mobile device in terms of speed and agility. With all the apps and pressures from a huge interface, the iOS has been able to keep the beauty intact. At the same time, it has also increased its agility to a dramatic extent. If you are looking for a new and better experience, then I suggest you use the iOS 7.

THE Legal Aid Practitioners Group (LAPG) is to survey all its 600 member firms to gauge the impact the reduction of legal aid will have on their practices.
The LAPG executive committee decided at a meeting last week to send out a short survey asking whether practices would be able to expand or would be forced to decrease their business if the Lord Chancellor, Lord Irvine's plans to replace legal aid with conditional fees in many areas came into force.
The vice-president of the LAPG, Richard Miller, said that the group intended to gather hard evidence to assist it in its campaign against the proposals.
Miller added that the survey would reach a "wide cross-section of firms" from sole practitioners to large firms, and that the results would be given to the Lord Chancellor's Department to "draw the Government's attention to the effect its proposals will have on law firms".
The LAPG is now in the process of commissioning an independent survey organisation to conduct the research.
It hopes to send the surveys out before Christmas and have them returned by February. The Government is expected to introduce the changes to conditional fees and legal aid by statutory instrument next April.

Title: Through the eyes of an outsider
Author: Vicky
Category: angst, romance
Summary: When Jack O'Neill woke up this morning, he had thought about what could happen, but this hadn't made the list.
Season/Sequel: season 4 AU
Spoilers: General knowledge of both Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis could be helpful
Rating: G
Archives: my website, others ask please, I never refuse
Disclaimer: I own neither the show nor the characters. I don't earn any money; I just do it for fun.
Author's Note: Written for the s4/s5 Fix it challenge on LJ, the prompt is "Jack O'Neill picked an interesting time to visit Atlantis". This is a sequel of some sort of my other fic Back Home. You don't really need to read it for you to understand this, though. Many thanks again to my ever so fantastic beta, Jaclyn!
When Jack O'Neill woke up this morning, he had thought about what could happen during the day, but this hadn't made the list.
Earlier this day
"So, today's the day?" Sam asked him, sipping on her first coffee of the day. When he just nodded, she continued. "You know, it's better that you're the one to go and evaluate Elizabeth."
"You think?"
"Yeah. They all trust you, and they would be ill-at-ease with Woolsey or any other member of the IOA. This is why they've chosen you, they know that. Just like they know your evaluation won't be influenced by your feelings for Elizabeth."
"I don't have feelings for Elizabeth," he replied automatically; she loved to tease him about that from time to time.
"Oh really. And who do you have feelings for, then?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Who says that I have feelings for somebody?" he asked, putting his cup into the sink and leaving the kitchen.
"Major General Jonathan O'Neill! Come back here immediately!" she shouted, chasing after him.
"You'll have to follow me if you want to talk," Jack said, entering the bathroom with a smile on his face.
This was going to be a good day.
Present time
Jack was feeling the start of what promised to be a massive headache. Rubbing his temples, he looked at the scene before him, and for probably the hundredth time in the last two minutes, he just wanted to whine out loud. If he knew that SG1 bad luck would follow him everywhere, he would have stayed in the team; but then, he thought that he would still have to spend his nights as a lonely single old man. But really, why did they pick today of all days to do this? So, they didn't know he would come because it was a surprise evaluation, but still.
A thought struck him. He could be mistaken. This could be something else. It had to be something else. He should ask. Yes, he would ask. And right now.
"So... What's going on?" he asked, gesturing with his hands.
"It's good to see you, General," Elizabeth said, as she walked down the stairs to join him.
She had yet to answer his question, and Jack could see that she seemed nervous. And he doubted that it was because she guessed he was there to evaluate her. Which only reinforced his suspicions as to what was really going on.
"You too, Elizabeth. Colonel Sheppard," he nodded to the younger man. "Did I interrupt something?"
"Maybe we should take this to the briefing room," Elizabeth suggested.
"Lead the way."
As they climbed up the stairs, Jack noticed more and more things making him think that he might be right. But for once, he didn't want to be right; if he was right, it could only lead to one thing. And he didn't want that. When he finally looked towards the balcony, he groaned out loud.
"Nothing, Sheppard," he dismissed him. "Just... Nothing."
He entered the briefing room after Elizabeth, and noticed that John, Rodney, Teyla and Ronon joined them.
"So, what's going on?" Jack repeated his first question as he took a seat.
He noticed the looks Elizabeth and the team were exchanging, the way she pursed her lips together, looking nervous. But now that he was really looking at her, he could see that she seemed more relaxed than the last time he saw her, after she came back. And even more relaxed that the times he saw her before the whole ordeal. The Elizabeth that was sitting before him looked more at peace. Jack couldn't help but think that it had something to do with what he was suspecting.
He decided to let them off the hook, and spoke before anyone of them could.
"I think I've guessed what's going on. I just didn't want to believe it at first, but now I think I'm ok with it. I don't say that the IOA won't want a say in it, but..."
"What's the IOA got to do with it?" John interrupted. "Sir," he added as an afterthought.
"Well, I think they definitely won't be happy about you and Elizabeth getting married."
"What?" the two people concerned exclaimed.
"You and Elizabeth are getting married?" Rodney asked, turning towards his friends.
"No!" John replied quickly. "We are not."
Jack could feel the headache hitting full force behind his eyes. If Elizabeth and John weren't getting married, then he wondered why there were flowers everywhere and why they were dressed like that.
As if he read his mind, Teyla answered.
"We were celebrating the new season, the one we can identify as your spring on Earth. My people have always celebrated it, and since we came to live on Atlantis, Elizabeth, John and other members of the expedition are also participating."
"I see. I guess I was a bit misled by all those flowers, and their clothes," Jack said, gesturing to Elizabeth and John.
"John and Elizabeth have taken part in the blessing, which is why they're wearing some of our ritual clothes. I understand what it must look like for you, but I can assure you that it is the truth."
"I believe you. I think I've just jumped to a conclusion, and I'm sorry," he added, turning towards Elizabeth and John. Jack couldn't really understand why, but in the presence of the Athosian, he felt the need to be more diplomatic; it was as if she had a soothing effect on him. "Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to talk to Elizabeth, alone."
"Of course. We will resume the celebration once you are done. And General O'Neill, my people and I would be honoured if you agree to participate in the celebration."
Usually, it wasn't his kind of thing. That was more Daniel's. But maybe he could make an exception.
"You are under no obligation to do that, General," Elizabeth told him. "Teyla or her people won't be offended if you turn down the offer."
She knew him well, or better, she knew his file well. Daniel told him she had read all the SGC personnel files when she was assigned there by President Hayes, so he wasn't that surprised that she read about his dislike of this kind of ceremony.
"I know. And I'm thinking about it, actually. Nice outfit, by the way."
Elizabeth was wearing an Athosian dress that probably revealed more of her body than her usual clothes. The top was low cut, revealing a bit of her cleavage, and close to her body, while the skirt of her dress was flowing around her as she walked. Jack didn't know why, but his mind kept bringing back memories of Sam in that blue dress the Shavadai insisted she had to wear. And he couldn't help the smirk that stretched his lips as he remembered that ridiculous headdress.
"General?" Elizabeth prompted, and he knew that he might have confused her.
"Nothing. I was just... remembering something."
"Does it have to do with Simarka?" she asked, raising an eyebrow in the process.
"How do you know about it?" he replied, before raising a hand to stop her from answering. "Right, I nearly forgot. You read the mission reports."
"Yes. How is Sam?" she changed the subject, and he smiled.
"She's great. She's settling back in SG1, and we're settling back to living together." There was no point in hiding from Elizabeth, Sam had told him that she knew about them. "And how are you?"
"Fine, fine. Settling back too, I guess," she added with a smile. "But you're not here so we can chit-chat, right?"
"No. The IOA sent me for your evaluation. They want to be sure that you're still fit for the job."
"I understand. But I thought you had retired?" she asked the question that had been on her mind since he stepped through the Gate.
"Well, technically, yes. But you know, you never really leave the SGC." He paused, rocking on the balls of his feet, his hands in his pockets, before continuing. "What do you say we let the Athosians continue their celebration, first? After all, I'm here for around a week, so there's plenty of time for that."
"Of course. I'll arrange for some quarters for you..."
"No, don't worry about it. Just give me the ones I had last time I was there, and I'll be ok."
"If you want to. But which quarters? The ones you were attributed but where you actually never stepped foot in, or Sam's?"
He could see the genuine smile on her face, and could feel the blush creeping on his own. He wasn't that surprised that she knew about that, but he actually hoped that not all of Atlantis knew too. Not that he was hiding it or something, his relationship with Sam was public knowledge, but he just didn't want everyone to talk about it.
"It doesn't matter," he finally replied. "Actually, Sam's old quarters would be better, since I don't even know where the other ones were..." he added as an afterthought; he really didn't want to get lost on Atlantis.
"I'll see to that. Shall we go, then?"
"Please," he said, gesturing for her to precede him. "Oh, will there be cake?" he asked, and heard a giggle escape from her.
As they left the briefing room, he noticed John questioning Elizabeth with a look. She reassured him with a imperceptible nod, and Jack could see the Colonel relaxing. The headache he had earlier? It came back.
Jack stood on the balcony watching the night sky and wished that he had taken his telescope with him. He made a mental note to not forget it next time he came here. He had never been able to observe an alien sky before, with all that running and fighting he had to do, besides that one time on Hanka. Thinking of that particular planet made him think about Cassandra. The frightened young girl they had found had changed so much since that day. She had become a beautiful young woman who had decided to follow Janet's steps and become a doctor. And as her father figure, he was now dreading the moment she would came home to introduce them to her fiancé, or worse, the father of her child. Sam and he might have stepped in as her parents after Janet's death, but that didn't mean they were ready for any of that, let alone for being grandparents.
The door to the balcony opened before he could think more about it. He turned in time to see Major Lorne stop on the threshold; he certainly hadn't expected to find the older man there.
"Sorry, Sir, I'll let you...," he started before being interrupted by Jack.
"It's ok, Lorne, you can come. There's enough space for the both of us to be here."
With a nod, Evan finally let the door slid close behind him, and came to join Jack by the railing.
Jack had known the man since he joined the SGC, they even went on a few missions together, and he had noticed the changes in him. He looked older than when he first met him, what he had seen during his missions taking their toll on him. But he also seemed more confident, and Jack thought that he would soon recommend him for a promotion. It was high time for him to benefit from the work he had done all those years.
"Sir?" Lorne's voice jolted him from his thoughts. "Can I ask you something?"
"You just did."
"Yes, sir," he chuckled. "I wanted to know if you would take our opinions into consideration."
Jack didn't need to think twice. He knew how Atlantis worked; it was exactly the same as the SGC. They were a sort of close-knitted family, looking out for each other, trusting each other, and wary of any outside people. He wasn't an outsider, but the IOA was, he was part of the family, but at the same time he was working for the IOA. Those people felt like they could trust him, like they did when they worked at the SGC along with him, but the fact that he was there for Elizabeth, their leader, could work against him.
So he did the best thing he could. He told Lorne exactly what he thought.
"Whoever wants to talk to me about Doctor Weir, I will listen to them, and will take what they say into consideration. I can assure you of that, Major. I'm not working against Elizabeth. This woman, along with Sheppard's team, saved my life. The least I can do for her is to listen to anyone who wants to talk to me."
"Thank you, Sir."
"So, I guess you're the first, right?" At the other man's nod, Jack's lips stretched into a small smile. "Just so I know, tell me, how many people are in line?"
"Probably most of the City."
"That's what I thought." This was going to be a long week. "Then, talk. We're both here, and I'm listening to you."
"I respect Doctor Weir a lot. No offense to Colonel Carter, but I think that Atlantis needs her. She brings everyone together. When Colonel Sheppard's team was forced to leave her behind on Asura, you have to know that most people volunteered to go and get her back. And I think that Colonel Carter would have authorized it, but Colonel Sheppard decided that it was too risky. At first, people were angry at him, me included, but then, we all understood that Doctor Weir wouldn't have wanted that. She would never put her own well-being before that of the City. She wouldn't risk people's lives if it was too dangerous."
Jack knew about that already. Sam had explained everything to him just before the IOA decided to put her in charge. And he knew that because he had seen her being the one in charge, both back at the SGC, when she took on the challenging task of replacing General Hammond, and here in Atlantis. He also knew what it felt like, because he had been in charge of the SGC too and had to be the one to evaluate the risks.
"But I think you didn't need to hear that," Lorne added he saw Jack's face. "I guess what I wanted to say is that all of Atlantis is behind her, Sir."
"I know that, Major." He paused, before turning towards the other man. "So, let's talk about you, Major."
"Me, Sir?"
"Yes, you. You still don't want to come back to Earth?" he teased, knowing that along with pretty much all Atlantis personnel, the fact that they had to leave the City when those Ancients came back had been difficult.
"No, Sir," Evan chuckled slightly. "I think I've found my place. Working at the SGC was already great, but Atlantis is home. And you have to admit that the view is better."
"As Teal'c would say: indeed."
"Well, Sir, while it's been a pleasure to talk with you, I have a mission tomorrow, and you know better than me that it's when you haven't got much sleep that you are attacked," Lorne said, and Jack could do nothing but agree.
"Goodnight, Major," he dismissed the younger man
"Goodnight, Sir."
With that, Jack was left alone once more.
He reflected back to the conversation he had with Elizabeth after the celebration. She hadn't tried to defend herself more than necessary, and he guessed that was because she was asked to do that more than once these last months. He also knew that if she were asked to leave her position, she would do that without a moment of hesitation; her main concern was Atlantis itself. Jack knew that it was a possibility, even if his evaluation said that she was still fit for the job. The IOA didn't like her being in charge; she might still be the same Elizabeth as the one who first stepped foot on Atlantis, but for them she had changed because she had ascended. He guessed he could still have Daniel talk to them if it came to that. After all, the archaeologist was probably the best person to talk about ascension, having experienced it twice.
Sighing, he pushed away from the railing and walked to the doors. He should get a good night of sleep since Major Lorne pretty much told him than a lot of people would want to talk to him during the next few days.
Jack found himself back on the same balcony the night before he was due to leave Atlantis. This time though, he was sitting, watching the stars through the telescope one of the scientists lent him. He had been right; this was a beautiful view they got there, so different from the one he was used to on Earth, but yet, so familiar too.
This week had been a long one. One of the teams had been captured off-world by a group of rogue Genii who had once worked with Kolya, and he had watched Elizabeth as she refused to negotiate with them, standing her ground despite the threats they were giving. He remembered Daniel telling him how she had negotiated with the System Lords, and he now knew better than to play cards with her; she had one hell of a poker face. He had wanted to be part of the rescue team, but as he was going to tell Sheppard that he would come with them, he realised that it wasn't his place, his job anymore. He was the one who stayed behind, had been for a few years now.
And Lorne hadn't been mistaken either; most of Atlantis had come to find him to talk about Elizabeth. They all wanted him to understand that she meant a lot to the City, not that he didn't know it already. But the one he had been expecting hadn't come, and he couldn't help but wonder why. He had thought he would be amongst the first, but he hadn't. Now, with only a few hours left, Jack realised that he probably wouldn't come.
Just as he was thinking this though, the man stepped onto the balcony. Jack nodded at him, before turning his head back to the telescope. John came to stand on the other side, leaning against the railing.
"You seen any Hive Ships that we should be aware of, Sir?"
"You can relax, Sheppard, I don't think they'll come tonight."
"Good. I wouldn't like missing the movie night," John replied with a smile.
"Which movie?"
"From Russia with Love."
"Ah, James Bond! So, maybe it's time for us to talk seriously, don't you think, Sheppard?" At the other man's nod, he continued. "To be honest, I was expecting you sooner."
"I know, Sir. I wasn't so sure what you would think if I come and talk to you. I'm still not entirely sure it's a good idea."
"Sheppard, just speak your mind. Don't worry about how it could be interpreted."
"Yes, Sir. I believe I'll only repeat what others have said if I told you that Atlantis needs Elizabeth." When Jack nodded, John sighed. "Then, if I might add, you've seen how she works these past few days, or in the past. You and the IOA think you know Elizabeth, but you don't. You know Elizabeth, the leader of Atlantis, but you don't know the woman behind the facade."
"And you do?"
"Yes. She's passionate and strong-minded, but she has her moments of weakness. I have seen her when we lost Atlantis; she took it the worst. She had drawn away from me, Rodney and Carson. Atlantis needs her, but she needs Atlantis. Just like any of us. She's the best leader Atlantis could ever have because she thinks of it as a home. She doesn't care about politics, she wants the best for Atlantis. She's not willing to put it at risk. You and I, we both have the gene and we can feel Atlantis." He waited for Jack to nod before resuming. "You should have felt Atlantis when we lost Elizabeth. She was mourning her too. And when she came back, Elizabeth told me that she could feel the City. She doesn't have the gene, but they have this connection. Take Elizabeth away from Atlantis, and they'll both lose the connection." He paused, looking out towards the ocean, before continuing on a softer tone. "I shouldn't be telling you this, but..."
"You love her," Jack interrupted him, coming to stand beside John. He saw him open his mouth, but put a hand up to stop him. "Don't deny it. You might have not acted on your feelings, but they're there. You're trying to ignore them, to stop them from rising to the surface, but they're there, and they won't go away. Believe me, I've been through the same thing. I know how it is to care about someone a lot more than I'm supposed to," he repeated the exact same words as the ones he pronounced during the re-testing. "They won't go away if what you're feeling is real. And having seen you, both of you..."
"I'm screwed," John summed up.
"If you want to put it like that. Have you ever tried to talk to her?"
"Not really. But we both know it's there. Though with the IOA breathing down Elizabeth's neck, I don't think..." he stopped there, shaking his head.
Jack could see that John had thought about it before. He guessed there must be a curse or something like that on people working around a Gate. They fell in love with co-workers and were afraid to act on it. He and Sam had waited about nine years, after all. Even when he wasn't her boss anymore, they were both avoiding the big talk. Right up until they couldn't anymore. He knew how John was feeling, and he didn't want to see John and Elizabeth go through the same doubts. Not if he could help it. If Sam knew he was going to play matchmaker, she would laugh her ass off. Or worse, if Daniel knew about it, he would be in an isolation room, waiting for the results of every possible test the archaeologist could have asked Doctor Lam to do.
"I'm going to repeat you something a wise woman told me once," he said, thinking back to the words Kerry had told him when she broke up with him. "Elizabeth may be your boss, but she's a civilian. No one can have a say in your relationship, should you choose to have one. That is as long as the City comes first. But I don't think that would be a problem."
"No, Sir. That wouldn't be a problem."
"Good. Now, go inside, and drag Elizabeth out of her office to take her to your first date. Though, better not tell her yet that it's a date, she would ask questions and you'll never be able to make it for the movie."
"Is this the experience talking, Sir?" John asked with a smile in his voice and on his face.
"Sadly, yes. But don't tell Sam I've ever mentioned that, Sheppard, or I'll have you scrub the Gateroom with a toothbrush."
"You have my word, Sir."
"Now, shoo!"
Saluting the General, John left the balcony. Jack stood in the threshold to watch as he walked straight towards Elizabeth's office. He observed as Elizabeth looked up from her computer as he entered, and sent him a smile. He couldn't hear what they were saying from where he was, but he could see the confused look on her face as John started to talk. He wasn't very good at reading people, but he could see that John was nervous, his hands in his pockets, and rocking on the balls of his feet. Finally, Elizabeth seemed to take pity on him, smiled and nodded. She stood up, and together, they left the office, Elizabeth brushing past John as he let her precede him. He caught Jack's eyes just before leaving the control room, and nodded.
Jack returned to the telescope. There was really no way that Sam and Daniel would ever hear about it. Though he didn't think that they would believe it...
Jack was finishing putting his belongings into his bag when the door chimed. Opening it, he was surprised to see Elizabeth on the other side.
"Is everything ok?" he asked, worried that she was going to tell him that his departure was delayed.
"Everything's fine, don't worry. Can I come in?" she asked, and he noticed now that she was wriggling her hands together, a gesture he soon came to associate with nervousness with her. "John told me about your conversation. We talked after the movie, about us, about what you told him. Thank you," she said with a smile.
"Don't mention it," Jack replied, patting her hands.
"Do you really think there would be no problems with the IOA? If I keep my job, that is."
"Like I told Sheppard, as long as you both keep doing your jobs as if nothing has changed, I don't think they would have anything to say. And don't worry about your job. I shouldn't tell you this, but I'm recommending that you stay in charge in my evaluation. Now, that doesn't mean that the IOA would follow it, but there will be people fighting for you if it comes to that. I'm glad you're giving it a chance. After what you went through..."
"Yeah... It was time, I guess. You know that when I came back, Janus descended me in John's quarters, in his bed?" she smiled at the memory.
"Sam told me about that," Jack smiled too; then he remembered the last time Daniel descended, in his office, and wondered why he had to go in there.
"I guess Janus tried to play matchmaker too, in a way. But before last night, we didn't talk about us. We admitted we were worried about change. We're friends, good friends, and if it doesn't work..." Elizabeth trailed off, shaking her head. "But we've decided that we had to try, and we promised ourselves that our friendship wouldn't suffer from it."
"That's the best thing to do," Jack replied, remembering that he had the same conversation with Sam when they decided to start exploring this thing between them. An idea popped into his mind, and he decided to go along with it, pretty sure that Sam would agree with him. "You're one of the first to know; Sam and I are getting married."
"That's... Congratulations!" she exclaimed, her lips stretching into a wide smile. "Permission to hug you, General?"
"Permission granted," he replied, and soon found himself in Elizabeth's arms. He hugged her back. When he told her that not many people knew about it, it was true; besides Daniel, Teal'c, Cameron, Vala and Sam's brother, they had mostly kept it to themselves. Though he wouldn't be surprised if by now all the SGC knew; Daniel could be quite a gossip girl when he wanted to. "Sam and I would be happy if you and John could come to the wedding. We haven't chosen a date yet, but we'll send you the details once we have them."
"You can count on us. That is, as long as Atlantis isn't under attack."
"Of course. Well, I think it's time for me to go."
"I'll walk you to the Gateroom."
On the way there, they were joined by John. Jack tried not to notice the looks they were sharing while walking, or that from time to time Elizabeth's hand found her way into John's. He would keep an eye on the two of them, if only because he wanted to make sure the IOA didn't want to mess with them.
Once in front of the Gate, having already said his goodbye, and waiting for it to activate, Jack realised that he had always picked interesting times to visit Atlantis. The first time he came here, the Asurans had attacked the City, and he and Woolsey only owed their lives to John, his team, Elizabeth and Carson. The second time, he had been there when two Wraith hive ships were heading towards the planet. Thankfully, they had been able to cloak the City and the hive ships had left, thinking that they weren't there. And now, the third time proved to be the most interesting of the three. He had come during a springtime celebration, made assumptions about John and Elizabeth, thought that they were going to get married. All that happened before he played matchmaker and talked John into starting a relationship with Elizabeth.
There were days, days like today, when he thought that someone up there just didn't want him to spend some time just relaxing in Atlantis. That or SG1 legendary bad luck had followed him and should now be renamed 'Jack bad luck'.
With one last look to Elizabeth and John, who were standing close to each other, Jack walked through the Gate, leaving Atlantis behind, between Elizabeth's more than capable hands.

Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 11: It's after 22 long years that Chief Minister Oommen Chandy will on Friday present the state's annual budget.
Chandy last presented the budget in 1994 as the finance minister in K. Karunakaran's cabinet.
On Thursday morning, however, the chief minister was busy defending his government on the assembly floor against a strong onslaught by the Left opposition.
During the presentation of the budget last year, the Kerala assembly witnessed unruly scenes as the opposition members threw the speaker's chair and damaged furniture and fittings in the house, saying they would not allow a "corrupt Mani" to present the budget.

Ash and the gang are returning to some familiar grounds in new Ash vs. Evil Dead promo.
No guts, no glory, right? Starz has released the first groovy teaser trailer for the second season of Ash vs Evil Dead.
Lucy Lawless and Bruce Campbell form an uneasy alliance in this new pic for the Starz horror series. Groovy!
For six seasons, the beating heart of Xena: Warrior Princess was the relationship between Xena and her faithful sidekick Gabrielle. The two became best friends, but despite the love they felt for each other (and the heavy subtext), they never officially became a couple. Here's why.
Before a Xena reboot arrives, relive the magic of the original with these episodes.
It's been 20 years since Lucy Lawless forcibly annexed our hearts as the chakram-wielding Xena. Now the cast and creators of the show look back on what made it such a phenomenon.
Lucy Lawless had some interesting ideas about NBC's planned Xena: Warrior Princess reboot. But will she be in it?
In our video interview, the cast talks about the state of horror, the butt-kicking women of AvED and what it's like to get blood in your sinuses, and Bruce Campbell even throws down a little friendly trash talk about The Walking Dead.
Good news for fans of The Evil Dead series. Brace yourself for a future with more Ash vs. Evil Dead.
A new behind-the-scenes video for Starz's upcoming Ash vs Evil Dead TV series has been released that reveals much about our favorite aging lothario.
Fandom has been buzzing in the wake of reports that NBC is looking to revive the cult hit Xena: Warrior Princess for a new generation — but it doesn't sound like original star Lucy Lawless expects to have much to do with the reboot.
Prepare for demonic battle with this behind-the-scenes look at Starz' new cult horror series.
Ash J. Williams and his chainsaw arm are back. The unlikely hero is fighting demons and taking names in the latest trailer for Ash vs. Evil Dead.
We talked to the stars of Starz's upcoming horror/action/comedy show about bringing the undead back to life on the small screen.
There have been rumblings about a Xena reboot for a few weeks, and now NBC entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt has confirmed the project is definitely in the works.

$250.00 This multi-stage, Scandinavian-designed chair (now with a phthalate-free plastic tray cover) can be used by a six-month-old and a teenager alike.

It's also more compact and easier to clean, with fewer crevices for food to hide in. Best of all, it grows with your child. The Svan Chair stages with your baby from a high chair to a booster seat to a toddler chair. And when a toddler chair is no longer necessary, it makes a great desk chair, meaning it will be a useful piece of furniture for years to come.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - May 10, 1994, New Braunfels, Texas Interactive defensive driving course launched With the help of the Charles R. Rose Agency, three young entrepreneurs are moving the country's first at-home, interactive defensive driving course out of the garage and into the hands of local traffic violators. Driven taking the state-certified U.S. Interactive coune bring home a small electronic terminal and a video cassette. Alter logging on to the U S Interactive system, students watch the video—hosted by comedian Jeff Altman — and then answer questions on the terminal. Taking a page from the fledgling interactive cable industry, answen are transmitted to U.S. Interactive headquarters when the at-home student plugs in the terminal to a telephone line. It if a patent-pending development that promises to transform the drivers ■fey industry, according to U S. Interactive co-founders Rick Johnson, Mike Curran and Scott Owens. "There's one crucial foetor keeping the vast majority of people from completing a defen-ive driving course — inconvenience,'' »ys Johnson. Only eight percent of all people ticketed for traffic violations in Texas take defensive driving classes, a figure Johnson says can be greatly improved through UST's take-home course. "With the convenience of our interactive approach, we believe more people will complete a driver's safety course and become better drivers," he explains. "The entire process is easy," Johnson claims. "With our system, you get up to three days to finish the course," he says. "You take breaks when you want, you eat when you want." Verification is substantial, according to Johnson, a requirement that met rigorous scrutiny by the Texas Education Agency. Students at home must answer several questions in order to validate the test given with each course. In fact, the launch of the U.S. Interactive system culminated three careful years of development, retooling and regulatory oversight. "The entire thrust of our company is to develop a system which would entice thousands of drivers to complete a safety course," says Johnson. "Interactive technology allows us to bring these courses home, literally, to the public." Punctuated with humor, celebrities and music, the video peeves home the importance of auto safety using qpedal driving techniques, action footage and compelling statistics. Ten Heller, Ph.D., an Austin-based education researcher and policy evaluator for state education programs, says the program is effective. "As a way to learn, the methodology is wonderful." Heller says. "It's embedded testing — you learn as you go along, you're evaluated as you go along." U.S. Interactive course is state-approved for use in removing a traffic violation from driving records and to gain safety discounts from auto insurers. Corporations hiring drivers can also use the U.S. Interactive system to teach defensive driving. For more information, contact the Charles R. Rose Agency or call (210) 625-8576.

Rabies clinic set for May 14 The annual city wide rabies clinic will be held on Saturday May 14 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. at the Comal County Fairgrounds. The cost will be $6 for the vaccination and $5 for the license. All cats should be brought in a carrier and all dogs should be restrained on a leash. The clinic is sponsored by the Comal County Veterinary Medical Association. Rabies is a viral disease that can affect all mammals, including humans. It is often spread to domestic animals through the bite of wild animals such as skunks, bats or raccoons. The best prevention for rabies is vaccination. Therefore, Texas State Law requires vaccination of all dogs and cats by the time the animal if four months old, and yearly thereafter. The vaccination must be administered by a licensed veterinarian. The City of New Braunfels and Comal County require licensing of dogs and cats yearly for intact animals. A lifetime license may be purchased for altered animals as long as the rabies vaccination is current. Any animals without a current rabies vaccination and license are in violation of the Qty and County ordinance and State Law and are subject to fines. The rabies clinic is offered by your local veterinarians to help insure that all dogs and cats are vaccinated against this deadly disease to protect humans as well as domestic animals. Keep your pet legal and rabies free by taking advantage of the services offered during the rabies clinic en May 14,1994.

Franklin returns to her roots to prepare for Rio
By Julian Linden
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Like any University student taking a year off from study, Missy Franklin wanted to see the world, broadening her horizons in new and exotic locations.
She's managed to do that, but not quite the same way as most other students on sabbatical. There's no trekking with backpacks or sleeping in youth hostels for this American.
As one of the world's best swimmers, everything Franklin is doing right now is part of an intricate plan to prepare herself for next year's Rio Olympics.
That's the sole reason she decided to take a break from her studies at Berkeley College in California and return to her roots in Colorado.
And that's also why she's spent parts of the last few months traveling to eastern Europe and Asia, not to fill her passport with stamps, but to toughen herself up for Rio.
Just 17 at the time, Franklin was one of the stars of the 2012 London Olympics, winning four gold medals and millions of hearts with her innocent enthusiasm.
Riding the crest of wave, she won six gold medals at the 2013 world championships in Barcelona, then waved goodbye to her home and swim squad in Colorado to take up a scholarship at Berkeley.
Determined to experience college life to the fullest, Franklin even gave up the chance to turn professional so she could compete for Berkeley and train under Teri McKeever, one of America's top coaches. Continued...

I have installed dk-milter 1.0.2 with sendmail on Slackware. It signs mail correctly but I am having trouble with it verifying incoming mail from the domain yahoogroups.com.
At first ALL incoming email that was signed with a domain key resulted in a "domainkeys=fail" in the header.
After much gnashing of the teeth, head scratching, and poking around the web I determined that it was the result of my resolv.conf pointing to the Open DNS server 126.96.36.199 which I had used for years. From what I read in an Open DNS forum, Open DNS servers do not work because they do not return the "AUTHORITY SECTION:" and "ADDITIONAL SECTION:" for a _domainkey inquiry. As a result I dropped the 22.214.171.124 reference and added 18.104.22.168 (ns2.cisco.com) in its place. That solved the problem for almost all inbound mail including mail from gmail.com.
The one email source of mail that I still cannot verify is yahoogroups.com.
If I do a "dig" of the current _domainkey entry for yahoogroups.com I receive the following.
lima._domainkey.yahoogroups.com. 7200 IN TXT "k=rsa\; p=MHwwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEBBQADawAwaAJhAL10WHRWMSb9Tnl+k4Kzpc18rDCTpDT1pbK0xwkdZIZkaP8NB75qa/S57xccZlIwbI22Ooy/IY+8WxQtvE2z4W" "LLNOf9hkMeicUH48TGkEoCAcaSjJz/b3NMrOy9l1U7gQIDAP//"
In looking at this I see that the key is split into two parts as indicated by the two sets of quotes. I assume that is because it takes two TXT entries to list the entire key on the yahoo.com DNS servers, but I do not know that for sure.
I also assume since all the "dig" responses from domains that I can verify mail from do not have the key spit in two parts, that this is the source of the problem.
Can anyone verify that and offer a solution? Is it inherent in 1.02 or have I configured something wrong? Is the problem something else entirely.
