You Bolt out the Door and Run Like Hell, Smack Dab Into the Hood of the Rental Car that you had just Recently Parked Outside the House
You awake and survey your surroundings. You are in an oak-panelled room full of wooden chests, wooden stakes, garlic, silver bullets and mirrors.
You see a beautiful young woman and a gorgeous young man, both of whom are fair-haired and are the most perfect-looking, strong, fit, healthy and smooth-skinned people you have ever met. They are each wearing black rubber underwear and... er, nothing else. You fall in love with both of them instantly.
"Oh, you're awake," smiles the young woman. You try nonchalantly to smile back but it turns into a silly giggle.
"Welcome back," she smiles. It is the most amazing smile you have ever known.
The young man comes over and asks if you would like anything to drink. Your heart is pounding away. You can hardly speak but you say that water would be lovely, thank you. He goes away and bends over to fill a gold-rimmed wooden cup up with water flowing from the open-topped wooden pipe whose contents flow glisteningly though the room. You stare at his rear end and then, after a few seconds, cross your legs and stare at the ceiling and try to remember which were the first seven states to join the Confederacy in the 1860s just to distract yourself.
The young man comes back with the water.
"I'm sorry," he says. "Our appearance must be very distressing to you. We have been told by many civilisations that we are the ugliest people in the world. We must accept that. We are not here to look decorative. We are here to fight vampires as we slew your assailants last night."
You tell him that all those civilisations are wrong. He and his friend and the most beautiful human beings you have ever known. He has tears in his eyes and says he cannot believe it. You say that he and his friend are even hotter than your yoga teacher and that you can prove it if he doesn't believe you. You will kiss him and her if they will allow you that honour.
He and his friend look at each other disbelievingly and then shrug. You kiss them both. They are the most exquisite kisses you have ever known. Each one kisses your neck while you give the other the full treatment.
"So," says the young woman, "what brought you to Greece?"
"Travelling salesperson," you stutter.
"What do you sell?" asks the young man.
You talk. They listen. Sometimes they caress you. Sometimes you get into a three-way hug. It is the most amazing time you have ever known. Eventually the young man says that it is late and that you must all go to bed. You climb into bed between the two of them, smiling as you have never smiled before. You start to feel two very minor itches on your neck. You rub the area and forget about it. You are having the most amazing time of your life.
"People always say we are the most polite vampires in the world," says the young man.
You smile at him and nuzzle your nose against his lovely neck.
"You see we bring your life to the height of ecstasy and then take it away," he continues. "But don't worry - your undeadness will be as wonderful as the last moments of your life were."
You're not really listening. You stroke the young woman's breasts as you glance around at the room. The mirrors melt away into nothing; so does the garlic; so do the silver bullets, almost as though they were just illusions. The wooden pipe is still there, though. You look hazily at it. Its contents are actually red, not transparent.
"You invited us into your world, darling," says the young woman.
"You invited us to kiss, my love," says the young man. They laugh. You laugh. You hardly know what's going on anymore. Your teeth feel as though they're getting longer. Those two itches on your neck no longer irritate. They feel right.
"You invited us," he says.
"You invited us," she says.
"You invited us," he says.
"Do you know what?" you ask. "The one kind of food I can't stand is garlic bread. I don't know why I'm thinking that. I can't stand it. Never want to have it again. I want to have you two, though."
You all laugh and hug.
You are now a vampire. A creature of the night. A creature neither of this world nor the next. And it is wonderful.

Sydney, Australia – Philips has crowned John Skandalis Sydney's smoothest sports dad at the worldwide debut of its most advanced shave yet – the SensoTouch3D.
Hundreds of Sydneysiders cheered on West Tigers' premiership winning prop John Skandalis, dual international Wendell Sailor and Parramatta Eels' legend Nathan Hindmarsh at Wynyard Park as they navigated their facial contours with Philips' new SensoTouch3D electric shaver – with John Skandalis being judged by the crowd as having the closest, smoothest shave of the three.
Adam Hawse, Thursday Night Live reporter for Channel Ten, reported the action live at the event, while the three high-profile athletes came to the competition with different strategies and facial hair lengths to truly test the power of the SensoTouch3D.
"I've been preparing for a week, testing out the SensoTouch3D in various conditions, so I knew I would be in a good position to take out today's match," said Skandalis. "I'm normally a wet shaver, so I was thrilled that the SensoTouch3D can be used wet or dry. It's given me such a close shave that it's put me ahead of the competition!"
Following the celebrity shave-off, three audience members were selected from the crowd to compete for their own SensoTouch3D. Ray Johnson of Sydney was the lucky winner, taking home a new SensoTouch3D from Philips, valued at $699 RRP.
Also announced at today's event was a sneak peek of the upcoming Philips Sports Dad of The Year campaign. Adam Hawse announced the four NSW finalists, which includes event attendee Nathan Hindmarsh, plus James Courtney, Nicky Carle and Brett Kirk.
The public voting competition kicks off this Sunday, 22 August at www.sportsdads.com.au. Every person that enters and nominates their favourite Sports Dad has the opportunity to win one of four $5000 Philips Ultimate Father's Day Grooming Packs.
Following the celebrity and public shave-off, John Skandalis, Wendell Sailor and Nathan Hindmarsh met members of the public, signed autographs and posed for photographs with the crowd.

Ken gazed at Paddy's rugged good looks, Paddy laughed at Ken's jokes. The air crackled with a shared passion. It was enough to make a hardened Eurosceptic gag.
In an interview to be broadcast today on Bloomberg Television, Kenneth Clarke and Paddy Ashdown will reveal that they once had a brief encounter in Paris in which they indulged each other's forbidden love of the euro.
The previously secret meeting, which is sure to confirm the worst conspiracy theories of anti-federalist Tories, emerged when the former Tory chancellor interviewed the Liberal Democrat leader earlier this week.
Proving that anything the young whippersnapper Michael Portillo can do he can do better, Mr Clarke has spent the past year presenting a 15- minute show on the business channel.
Although he admits that Bloomberg's audience consists of City dealers and "bored businessmen in hotels", he has had Roy Jenkins, Ted Heath, and Geoffrey Howe in his hot seat over the year. Monica Lewinsky, he assures us, he turned down.
Adopting an interrogation technique that was more Judy Finnigan than Jeremy Paxman, Mr Clarke smiled benignly on his fellow Euro-enthusiast as they discussed everything from Paddy's future to, er, Ken's future. But it was those stolen moments in Paris in 1997, when both men attended a meeting of the Association for Monetary Union in Europe, that stirred the blood.
"Paddy, I think the last time we had a proper conversation was in slightly more private surroundings of a cafe in Paris," Ken opened. "You owe me lunch," replied Paddy.
"I do. You were the only one with French francs," said Ken.
Remembering that this was a political interview and not a love-in, Mr Clarke did ask more probing questions about Mr Ashdown's intentions once he stands down as leader in June.
"What about Mr Foreign Affairs?" he asked. The Liberal Democrat leader admitted that he was fascinated by the topic, particularly the Balkans, but refused to give any details of his job applications.
But whatever happens to Ken and Paddy, the world now knows that, at the very least, they'll always have Paris.Reuse content

Children learn through play. Different types of play help them to develop dexterity and to increase physical, emotional, social and cognitive development. Health Canada has produced this guide to provide you with information to create a safer play experience and to make safer choices when selecting toys for children.
The Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA), which came into force on June 20, 2011, is administered by Health Canada. Its purpose is to protect the public by helping to address or prevent dangers to human health or safety that are posed by consumer products in Canada. The Act and its regulations define the safety requirements applicable to consumer products, several of which are covered in this guide.
The CCPSA and its regulations do not distinguish between new and used products. Any person who sells, distributes, or gives away products that do not comply with the legislative requirements would be contravening the CCPSA and be subject to compliance and enforcement actions.
A home can be a dangerous place. Young children are naturally curious and do not easily recognize and avoid hazards; therefore, they need extra protection and care. Many injuries can be avoided by supervising children carefully and by making their surroundings safer.
The size, shape and energy storage properties of button batteries make them hazardous if swallowed. A swallowed button battery can cause serious internal chemical burns in the oesophagus in as little as two hours. The 20 to 25 mm diameter lithium button batteries result in the most serious injuries, especially where young children are involved. They are used in a wide range of products commonly found around the home that children have access to, such as remote controls, musical greeting cards, watches, calculators, flashing jewellery and shoes, key fobs, books, and other small electronic devices.
Household chemical products, such as bleaches, paint thinners, ammonia, and abrasive cleaners are among the top products responsible for injuries and deaths in children under the age of five years. Bad taste and odours do not keep children away from chemical products. Even a small amount of a chemical product can be harmful to a child. Chemical products can be poisonous, flammable, corrosive, or the containers can be explosive when pierced or exposed to a heat source.
Young children may climb furniture to reach items on higher shelves or in drawers. Climbing can cause furniture or televisions to tip over onto a child. Furniture or television tip-overs can cause serious injuries, such as head and internal injuries, which can lead to death.
Blind and curtain cords can pose strangulation or entanglement hazards for babies and young children. There are steps you can take to reduce the risk of this type of tragedy happening in your home.
When children are playing outside ensure that the play area is safe and that they are supervised. Make sure children always wear the proper safety equipment when playing outdoors.
Too much sun can be harmful. Your baby or child can sunburn in only 15 minutes depending on the UV index value. If the UV index is low (from 0-2), the risk of getting too much sun is low, and minimal protection is required. If outside for more than one hour, wear sunglasses and sunscreen. If the UV index is between 3 and 7, you need protection. A UV index higher than 8 calls for extra protection.
Children have died when their clothing or drawstrings have been caught on playground equipment or on fences. Children have also died when they became entangled on ropes or skipping ropes attached to playground equipment.
To learn more about water safety and learn-to-swim programs, please call your local Canadian Red Cross Society, or the local Branch Office of the Lifesaving Society.
In-line skating, skateboarding and biking are popular activities. Be careful! These activities can lead to serious injuries to the head, arms and legs. Be smart, wear protective gear.
There are many popular outdoor winter activities for people of all ages. Be safe! Wearing a helmet will ensure that these outdoor activities remain enjoyable and fun.
When tobogganing or sledding:
When skating:
When skiing or snowboarding:
Toy manufacturers, retailers and importers must make sure that they manufacture, advertise or sell safe toys that meet the safety standards set by Health Canada. Sometimes unsafe toys do make their way onto store shelves and into homes. You may also have older toys that are no longer safe, or the way the toys are being used may expose children to hazards.
Here are some tips to help you choose and use toys safely.
Young children, especially those under three, frequently put objects in their mouth. Small toys, small balls or small loose or broken toy parts are choking hazards. Keep them out of reach.
Latex balloons have caused a number of deaths. Balloons or broken balloon pieces can be inhaled and can block a child's airway. Use latex balloons for decoration, not for play.
Playing too long and too often with very loud toys can harm a child's hearing. If you have to yell to be heard above the sound of a toy, then it is likely too loud for a child and should not be used.
Children of all ages love to do arts and crafts, but these activities can involve materials or tools that may be hazardous to children if not used properly. The following are a few safety tips that will help make a safer environment for your children to be creative.
Products in this category should only be used when an adult is in sight and within arm's reach. Do not leave a child unattended when using one of these products.
Before placing a baby in a stationary activity centre, check the toys on the activity centre to make sure they are not broken or loose. Sharp points can cut and small pieces are a choking hazard.
Trampolines should not be considered toys; there is a serious risk of injury to children using them. Most trampoline-related injuries happen at private homes, usually in backyards on full-size trampolines.

Lorenzo's Oil: A Movie Outruns Science
By GINA KOLATA
Published: February 9, 1993
THE new movie "Lorenzo's Oil" tells how the parents of a child with a rare illness overcame indifference in the medical establishment and, by themselves, invented a cure.
The message is that medical science has become detached from the needs of those it serves, but that individuals can leap bureaucratic impediments to find new cures with their own faith and efforts.
The message is important, if true, because many medical interest groups have noted the example of AIDS activists who have argued that medical research can be inhumane and move at a snail's pace and who have succeeded in garnering Federal research funds and changing drug approval policy for their disease.
But the facts of the boy's case turn out to be significantly different from what is portrayed in the movie.
According to the movie and the account of the parents, Augusto and Michaela Odone of Fairfax, Va., they refused to accept doctors' advice that there was no hope for their son, Lorenzo, after they were told in 1984 that he was suffering from a rare hereditary disease known as adrenoleukodystrophy.
The disease, passed from symptomless mothers to their sons, relentlessly destroys the sheath around nerve fibers, impairing their ability to conduct signals. After the onset of the disease, children lose the ability to walk or talk, and death usually follows soon afterward.
Although the Odones had no medical training -- he was an economist and she was an editor -- they defied the medical establishment's pessimism, read obscure medical journals and figured that a mixture of two natural oils, known as erucic and oleic acids, would correct an important symptom of the disease. This mixture, they and the movie assert, proved to stabilize and partly reverse Lorenzo's otherwise inevitable decline.
But their claim to have invented the oil is disputed by Dr. William B. Rizzo, a researcher at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond, who suspected that oils might suppress certain fatty acids that build up in the blood of patients with Lorenzo's disease. He tested a variety of oils, one by one, in laboratory studies, showing that a certain class of oils, including erucic acid and oleic acid, could largely prevent cells from making long-chain fatty acids, the biochemical hallmark of adrenoleukodystrophy.
"The idea that monounsaturated fatty acids could be used therapeutically was derived entirely by me," Dr. Rizzo said. "It was not Mr. Odone's idea. To be honest, this whole thing started with that finding. Everything else was jumping off from that."
The Odones, stressing their own role, said they developed the rationale for combining oleic and erucic acids, found companies to produce the oils, tested the oil immediately in Lorenzo and in Mrs. Odone's sister, and demonstrated that it could lower the amount of fatty acids in the blood. "We saw he had made an interesting observation about what happened in the laboratory," Mrs. Odone said. "But the consensus was that it would not work in vivo. The scientists said, 'We know it cannot work.' This was from Mount Olympus. Period."
The Odones, Dr. Rizzo said, "have to deserve credit for not only finding companies that would synthesize both oils but also for pushing for oleic and erucic acid for their son."
"They get my accolades for sure," he said. The Crucial Question
But no matter who actually discovered the oil, the real question is, does it work? Dr. Rizzo and other scientists say that although the oil does bring down the level of long-chain fatty acids in the blood, a principal symptom, there is no proof yet that it changes or improves the course of the disease.
Dr. Rizzo began the first pilot study of the oil in August 1987. Six of 8 boys in the study deteriorated rapidly. The other two seemed to stabilize for a time, but one has now had a relapse and investigators have lost contact with the other.
In a study by Dr. Hugo Moser of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, 70 children with the rapidly progressing disease used the oil from the time of their first symptoms until they lost sight and movement. The oil, Dr. Moser concluded, "did not make any difference."
Dr. Moser said that so far he had seen no evidence that Lorenzo's disease could be prevented in boys who were otherwise destined to get it.
But what about 14-year-old Lorenzo? Isn't he living proof that the oil at least prolonged his life? The Odones say he is. "He answers yes and no to age-appropriate questions by wiggling the fingers of his right hand to say yes and closing his eyes to say no," Mrs. Odone said. He also says "perhaps" -- his left fingers wiggle up a storm.
Mr. Odone said Lorenzo "has made progress that my common sense tells me, in the absence of any other explanation, is due to Lorenzo's Oil." He added, "It is reasonable to assume that almost every other kid who was diagnosed when Lorenzo was diagnosed is now six feet below the ground." Others Still Living
In the movie, the actor playing Dr. Moser tells the Odones that Lorenzo will be dead two years after his first symptoms in 1984. But Dr. Moser said he never said that. "I know of 12 patients who developed symptoms at the same time as Lorenzo who are still alive and in their teens or early 20's, even though they had no therapy," Dr. Moser said. "The fact that he survived is not an indication that the oil made a difference."

A While Later
(One Year Later) Evelyn's eyelids hung heavy over her eyes, she thought she was actually going to fall asleep but then... he cried. "Why do babies have to cry so much?" Evelyn groaned. During Evelyn's Father' death her mother found out that she was pregnant. At the time Evelyn thought it would be fun to have another little sibling running around but if only she knew the sleepless nights that lie ahead. Evelyn's mother was unavailable during the night because she decided she would work late nights at the hospital to earn extra money. She kicked her legs from under her cotton blue blanket and groggily started to make her way over to the baby's crib, the moonlight shining from the window acted as her guide, but the moonlight wasn't a very good guide because she tripped over Ari's dark figure falling face flat on the floor. "Ouch," she muttered "Why can't she sleep in the corner of the room?" To Evelyn's surprise the dog was still stirred in it sleep legs moving as if it was chasing something. She pushed her body from the cold hard wood floor pushing away the temporary sting. She didn't trust the moonlight this time; she lit a candle by moving her hand over it. It was a little spell her Grandmother had taught her. The fireball was supposed to be bigger but she never mastered the spell, magic wasn't something she was too interested in. She traveled across the room to come to the Jackson's aid. Slowly and carefully she picked him up cradling the little baby in her arms. She swayed back and forth and soon enough Jackson had quieted down. Evelyn couldn't help smiling at the soft features of his face. "You look just like him," she whispered, "too bad he didn't get to meet you" Jackson's eyes fluttered closed, she kissed him on the forehead him laid him down in the ebony colored crib. She skipped over Ari avoiding the mistake she made before and used her two fingers to put the fire out. She sunk into her bed wrapping the soft cover around her and fell asleep with the moonlight shining on her back. ~ Mrs. Reed dragged her legs in to her house and spawned he shot body across the crimson colored sofa. Her mouth widened taking in a deep breath of air and let it out in one exhausted breath. The sun had yet to rise and she had been working for the past twelve hours, making it hard to withstand the temptation of closing her eyes. The sound of the door opening had woken Evelyn up. Nights with Jackson had transformed her into a light sleeper. When she came to living room she stared at the image of her sprawled across the sofa. This was usual event that would take place, when Evelyn's father died they had to move into a smaller house to be able pay of the rent. To sum things up quickly you could say the Reed's have had some hard times. Evelyn checked the silver watch wrapped around her forearm; 5:45 was the time. "Better not wake her up." Evelyn muttered to herself. While creeping back into her room Mrs. Reed had woken up. "Good morning Evelyn." she yawned. "Sorry if woke you." Evelyn apologized mentally face palming herself for doing so. "I wasn't sleeping, just resting my eyes. So what's on your mind?" she asked moving from her sprawled pose into a somewhat straight posture. "What do you mean?" It was true Evelyn wanted to ask her mother something that she wasn't sure she would say yes to. Actually she was positive she wouldn't say yes to it, at least not right away. "Evelyn, honey I've known you for seventeen years, which means I know you inside out, which also means I know when there is something you want to ask me. "Fine." Evelyn huffed and took a seat beside her mother and relieved a sigh. "I hate seeing you working so hard so how about I pick up a job to help you." Evelyn suggested. "Evelyn I am fine working the way I am you don't need to get a job unless you really want to. I'm supposed to provide for you not you for me." That was Mrs. Reed's mindset she wanted to be independent and not have to rely on people whether they were a part of her family or not. "But soon you're going to start getting grey hairs or something from how much stress you have to deal with. Why don't I take some of the load off?" Evelyn said. She cared for her mother so much; she wouldn't mind working to help. Besides her mother has done so much for her, so it would be like repaying a big favor. "If you get a job who is going to take care of Jackson." her mother asked. "Chance is thirteen so he is old enough and that boy needs to start doing some work around the house anyway," "I guess you're right but what job do you plan on doing anyway?" There was babysitting, but Evelyn's experience with Jackson knocked that idea off the chart. Another job that she could think of was working at the blacksmith's shop in town that her cousins owned but that idea wasn't to appealing. There was one last job that fit Evelyn perfectly, a warrior. "I was thinking of choosing a vocation, possibly a warrior?" her answer was more of a question than an answer. "No, no, no, you're not going to be doing that, not in a million years." she said trying to end the conversation but Evelyn continued. "Why not? Dad was one." "That's exactly why, it's too dangerous Evelyn." Evelyn puffed out a sigh, "Your just saying that because he happened to catch some rare disease, just because he...died doesn't mean I 'm going to." the word felt unfamiliar on her tongue, she avoided talking about his death, actually just death in general until now. "And what happened to moving on because it seem to me like you're dwelling on the past. "Evelyn added. Anger took over her mother's face and she was just about ready to yell at Evelyn. This is my daughter, she thought, I need to calm down She released a breath of air slowly and said her answer. "Please do not talk back to me like that, I'm your mother don't talk to me like that again. Ever." "I'm sorry." Evelyn said, as she got up to leave the room she rolled her eyes. "One more thing, moving on doesn't mean forgetting." she kept quiet to annoyed to speak and continued to her bed room leaving her mother alone in the living room. She closed her eyes but didn't go to sleep just let the argument with Evelyn linger in her head. Maybe she's right though, maybe I am clinging on to the past. Maybe I should let her but the problem is I'm afraid to lose another loved one. ~ Evelyn heard a knock on her bed room door and got up to open it. Her room was like her "mini house' you could say. She didn't leave it very much, over the past year she had grown fond of the peace and quiet in her room. Chance says she's turned into a loner but she calls it being independent. She pulled open the door to her bedroom revealing the image of her mother. "Hey mom" she chirped forgetting about there argument, it was like nothing ever happened. Her mother was surprised about this herself. Evelyn was quick to forgive and forget most of time. "Let's talk." they took a seat on the bed as it slightly swallowed them up. "Evelyn, you know I care about you right?" "Yeah, of course, you don't do anything to prove that idea wrong." "And you know that I didn't want you to be a warrior because I didn't want you to her hurt?" her mother said. Evelyn nodded. "Well I decided that you may have been right when you said I was clinging on to the past. So I rethought my answer and decided to let you, but first answer my question." a smiled curved on Evelyn's lips when her mother agreed. "The question is why you want to be a warrior so bad, I'm just going to let you risk your life without a logical reason." That was an easy enough question for Evelyn. She had always wanted to be a warrior, that's why she had admired her father so much. The thought of holding a long sword and wearing leather armor made her heart beat with excitement. "It's always been my dream and you know that already, I've always wanted to protect people and of course I could do that with any vocation but being a warrior was my childhood dream. It's like a little kid wanting to be a doctor when they grow up." Mrs. Reed thought over her answer, she knew that it was a good one but she didn't want to let her go. She pushed away her subconscious and said, "Fine Evelyn." Evelyn's previous smile grew even bigger if that was possible. She wrapped her arms around her mother and squeezed as hard as she could. "Thank you so much." her mother didn't answer but managed a smile through Evelyn's monster strength. When she released her Mrs. Reed coughed and Evelyn flashed her an apologetic smile. "I hope you know it won't be easy, it's not all fun and games. Trust me on that one." Her mother said. "Yeah, I know that, Coryn has one of the best army forces for a reason." Evelyn said. Before another word could be said Jackson started crying, Evelyn was going to get up, then: "I'll get him why don't you go pickup lunch for me?" "Alright, I'll see you later."

Blue Raiders land 2nd straight NCAA at-large berth
Associated Press | Last updated March 13, 2012
Middle Tennessee is heading into the NCAA tournament expecting a much different outcome than a year ago. Last year the grief-stricken Blue Raiders mourned the stabbing death of teammate Tina Stewart and huddled at their coach's house to hear of an at-large berth that turned into a first-round loss. Monday night they danced and celebrated with about 350 fans at their second straight at-large berth, capping a Sun Belt season dedicated to Stewart. No. 10 seed Middle Tennessee will play Sunday at seventh-seeded Vanderbilt in the Fresno region. These teams are separated by about 45 miles but haven't played since 1992. ''It's been tough all year,'' coach Rick Insell said. ''No one really knows what these young ladies have come through. A lot of it's been behind the scenes, but there's been a lot of weeping and there's been a lot of hugging and there's been a lot of camaraderie. This team is very close, very close from what they've been through.'' While mourning Stewart, who was stabbed to death March 2, 2011, in her off-campus apartment, the Blue Raiders also set a goal of a 15th overall NCAA tournament berth and fourth straight. They did it by going 26-6 and a perfect 16-0 in winning the Sun Belt Conference regular-season title. Their 20-game winning streak ended in the tournament championship in a one-point overtime loss to Arkansas-Little Rock. That left them waiting and hoping for the program's third at-large berth overall. ''Now they can go in and they can play in this tournament, and they're very deserving of that because it's been a tough year for us,'' Insell said. ''I want you to know - a very tough year.'' Middle Tennessee lost 56-41 to Georgia in the lone NCAA tournament game last year with the Blue Raiders emotionally drained after two challenging weeks. Stewart would have been the only senior to play regularly this season. So the Blue Raiders, led by three juniors, pulled together. Stewart's roommate is due to go on trial for first-degree murder in the case May 7, and sophomore forward Ebony Rowe said people forget that they're still dealing with the loss. ''It's not on the news anymore, but it's still real to us,'' Rowe said. ''When it was her birthday, we all wrote on balloons and wrote messages to her as a team and let them go. It's still really real, and we deal with it one day at a time. But we have grown so close as a team, and I think that's one thing that keeps us so close. Other teams don't have that.'' That toughness showed this season as the Blue Raiders won at Xavier and also beat then-No. 6 Kentucky 70-58 in matching the biggest win in the program's history. Junior Icelyn Elie said after what they've gone through, they just believe in each other's strength. ''The majority of the time we go out to play we think about Tina,'' Elie said. ''We don't forget about it. We just go out and play hard for her as well.'' Now they get a chance to continue playing for Stewart. Insell gathered his team at the school's Hall of Fame building as they have in their previous NCAA berths during his tenure. Before the selection show started, the Blue Raiders went outside and danced with the pep band. It was a festive mood that couldn't have been more different than a year ago. When Middle Tennessee's name popped up, everyone cheered and celebrated since nobody knew what the committee might do. ''Once we saw our name pop up there, it is a relief,'' Rowe said. ''Our hard season paid off for us.'' Now the Blue Raiders will play their third straight Southeastern Conference opponent in the NCAA tournament. They lost to Mississippi State 68-64 in 2010 as a No. 10 seed, and they will play Vanderbilt (22-9) for the first time since 1992. Middle Tennessee leads the series 10-7 and won the first six, nine of the first 10. The Commodores didn't look as happy to see their opponent as Middle Tennessee was. The Blue Raiders sold 500 tickets before the rest of the bracket was announced. Vanderbilt coach Melanie Balcomb said in a gathering in Nashville that she is just happy to be hosting for the second time in her 10-year tenure. Commodores junior forward Tiffany Clarke said she's real excited about this matchup. ''It is one of those that I guarantee they've wanted for a long time, we've wanted for a long time,'' Clarke said.

Jane (Keri Russell), a lifelong Pride and Prejudice fan, travels to a Jane Austen–themed English estate that guarantees period authenticity. This immersive vacation spot also promises a chaste, quasi-scripted romance with one of its actor-portrayed archetypes: a beardstrapped swashbuckler, a fey colonel (scene stealer James Callis) or the brooding, Darcy-ish Mister Nobly (JJ Feild). Disappointed by the resort's artifice and materialism, Jane leaves these men to her vulgarian companions (Jennifer Coolidge and Georgia King) and instead goes after a flirty stable boy (Flight of the Conchords's Bret McKenzie, an adorkable peach).
When filmmaker Jerusha Hess follows Austen's lead and treats her characters with a distant, knowing smile, she hits her rom-com marks and reality-versus-artifice themes with a satisfying squee: Throwaway quips are enhanced by timely cutaways; visual jokes—a propped-up pheasant, a litany of crinkle-faced reaction shots—land before they can wear out their welcome. But the Napoleon Dynamite cowriter-turned-director should have applied her editorial eye more consistently; Coolidge and King especially are allowed to wander into mugging far too often and for far too long. By the time we get to a painful play-within-the-cosplay-within-the-film scripted by Jane Seymour's grande dame, a truth becomes universally acknowledged: Actors "acting badly" is rarely funny.

This truly-atrocious travesty seems to have been made by people who have never actually read (or respect) Austen's work, but watched the movies (or read the Cliff's Notes) instead. The acting is awful, particularly by the reliably ridiculous Jennifer Coolidge, whose stupid lines & dumb delivery of them is compounded by her botoxed face. Why her character would spend an exorbitant amount of money & take an expensive trip to another continent, simply to dress like a "wench," is not able to be explained. Nothing makes the slightest sense or conforms to the historical period (ex: a Caribbean captain, who sides with what he calls his "British brothers"--more like enlavers--against the French). It's an insult to the intelligence of all literate fans.

Microsoft Gets the Urge to use Linux
Like everybody else who has been watching Microsoft try to figure out how to compete with Apple's ipod I've been waiting for the MS folks to launch a competing service. Well now it looks like they're about too. And if the placeholder site's favicon and the netcraft site report is any indication that site'gonna be running linux.
