There's barely a week in which Jeremy Clarkson doesn't manage to enrage someone or another.
Today, that baton was handed back to the fuming viewers of Top Gear, who blasted the presenter for taking part in a dangerous stunt on the show.
The presenter was seen climbing out of the window of a moving car while he was driving it in an effort called 'doing a lap of your own car'. Which, fairly obviously, involved doing exactly the latter while his co-hosts Richard Hammond and James May languished in the back seats and probably hoped they didn't collide into anything hard during the process. You know, like a brick wall.
"I think this is what George Michael was trying to do," he said, taking another swipe at the singer he'd previously insulted by referring to his car crash into the Hampstead branch of Happy Snaps (RIP) back in 2011.
To make matters even more dangerous, May and Hammond also swapped seats while driving, 'surfed' on the roof of the car and took part in a drag race in an event they aptly labelled a 'Don't -try-this-at-home nostalgia trip.'
The problem is, once you've showed a nation of teenagers what they definitely shouldn't do with a vehicle by doing it, having fun and surviving the entire ordeal, the seed has been sewn.
And that's exactly what the seven people who phoned the BBC to complain about the programme were raging about. Still. Seven compared to the 5.3million who tuned in to view the episode? Aunty Beeb will barely bat an eyelid.
Jeremy Clarkson's Top 25 Most Obnoxious Lines
Jeremy Clarkson's Top 25 Most Obnoxious Lines
1/24 "Short people. When you've finished using a car, put the f**king seat back, so humans can use it afterwards," he posted on Twitter. Offensively.
2/24 "Honestly, the burka doesn't work. I was in a cab in Piccadilly the other day when a woman in a full burka crossing the road in front of me tripped over the pavement, went head over heels and up it came, red G-string and stockings."
3/24 Driving a Jaguar round a toilet in India: "This is perfect for India because everyone who comes here gets the trots."
4/24 "The only person who looked good in a 4-seated convertible was Adolf Hitler."
5/24 As a Thai man walked over a bridge he had built during a Top Gear challenge: "That is a proud moment - but there's a slope on it."
Jeremy Clarkson is involved in further controversy over a second set of number plates found in the vehicle he was driving in Argentina
6/24 On the Renault Clio V6 handling bends: "In typical French fashion it just gives up! A bit like the French did with the Germans."
7/24 "I'm thinking. If you had gone to the trouble of making a chemical bomb, why would you detonate it on a coach from Preston?"
8/24 On public sector workers in 2011: "I'd have them all shot. I would take them outside and execute them in front of their families."
9/24 "I don't understand bus lanes. Why do poor people have to get to places quicker than I do?"
10/24 "The only reason the Arabs and Jews have managed to keep their nasty little war going for 50 years is because it never bloody rains there. If the post-war powers had put Israel in Manchester, there'd have been no bloodshed."
11/24 "If all the creatures on earth were the same size, it's said a lobster would have the smallest brain. But then someone invented Wayne Rooney."
12/24 On the invention of the segway: "They're made in America, of course, so fat Yanks can go to the fridge without expending any energy."
13/24 "Supercars are supposed to run over Arthur Scargill and then run over him again for good measure. They are designed to melt ice caps, kill the poor, poison the water table, destroy the ozone layer, decimate indigenous wildlife, recapture the Falkland Islands and turn the entire third world into a huge uninhabitable desert, all that before they nicked all the oil in the world."
14/24 "I'm sorry, but having an Aston Martin DB9 on the drive and not driving it is a bit like having Keira Knightley in your bed and sleeping on the couch. If you've got even half a scrotum it's not going to happen."
15/24 On a caravaning holiday: "You aren't allowed to have a party, you aren't allowed to have music, you aren't allowed to play ball games, you aren't allowed to have a camp fire, you have to park within two feet of a post, you have to keep quiet, you have to be in bed by eleven. This is not a holiday, it's a concentration camp!"
16/24 "Britain's nuclear submarines have been deemed unsafe… probably because they don't have wheel-chair access."
17/24 "If we are being honest HIV is a pathetic virus, it can only live in the air for 6 seconds and it does what ebola does to you in 10 days in 10 years."
18/24 On the Lotus Elise: "This car is more fun than the entire french air force crashing into a firework factory."
19/24 On actress Sarah Jessica Parker: "People think 'oh she must be pretty'. She isn't – she looks like a boiled horse."
20/24 On the BMW Z3: "And if you are clinically insane, by which I mean you wake up in the morning and think you are an onion, here's your car."
21/24 On the Ferrari 430 Scuderia: "It's like God having really unusual sex… it should come with toilet roll."
22/24 "The problem is that television executives have got it into their heads that if one presenter on a show is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed heterosexual boy, the other must be a black Muslim lesbian."
23/24 "If you're thinking of coming to America, this is what it's like: you've got your Comfort Inn, you've got your Best Western, and you've got your Red Lobster where you eat. Everybody's very fat, everybody's very stupid and everybody's very rude - it's not a holiday programme, it's the truth."
24/24 On the N-word row: "I've been told by the BBC that if I make one more offensive remark, anywhere, at any time, I will be sacked."

"Then you will have your men." He let out a breath. "Use them well." He leant out of his carriage and looked towards the lines of men behind. "Take your pick of the soldiers behind you, now," he knocked on the roof of the carriage, "Go!" he commanded. The carriage rolled onwards through the gates.
It was hard to discern just quite how big this place was. Ascocen was large, on a market day it thronged with merchants and patrons and even entertainment, there was little room for free movement and in the hot climes, the heat was insufferable. The merchant's guild in Ascocen was one of the largest; the Guild of ales and wines was the greatest in the country, his city was prosperous and the coffers filled with coin.
Louennon was of a far grander scale.
The eastern entrance to the castle held the Crafters square. At least two dozen large buildings lined the streets, each the size of a manor and each of them housing some of the country's most prominent Guilds. Here was where the finest masons, smiths, carpenters and more were made.
For an honest price, a family could leave their sons or daughters here, and here they would be taught a basic knowledge of their trade, then apprenticed to a Master Journeyman either within the capital or somewhere in the lands.
Everywhere walked a host of students and craftsmen, bearing mounds of wood, caskets of fruit, bundles of silk and cloth. There were so many it took the carriage a very long time to make its way up the hill. At the top of the hill was a University, by far the largest building in the square.
The brick wings of the building stretched a league in all directions and ending is spires which rose high enough to reach the clouds. Pastures of greenery and some exotic flowers surrounded the complex and in the walls was set coloured glass. Once, a very long time ago in his early youth, Damyen had visited this place, visited its library. His own library was big; this one's was far bigger.
Scholars roamed the grounds with books in hands reciting words of history, of philosophy and mathematic and much more. A few students sat against the willow trees, reading and conversing.
The carriage eventually passed the University of Louennon and swung around it towards the entrance of the keep, by far the most immense building, very isolated by the dyke which snaked around the keep. It was an elegant place, the way the curves moved into the next, the way the supports held the walls and the windows similar to the University glittered in the sun and looked well amongst the granite walls.
The carriage came towards the gate, rumbling past the bridge.
The keep opened to accept his train.
He stopped at the entrance as another guard watched him pass.
"The King is inside?" he asked. The guard nodded. "Where would I find him?"
"He is with the High Council, but I would imagine they should finish soon. If you would speak to him, address the King's Steward." Damyen thanked him and rode onwards.
Once within the inner courtyard, he exited his carriage and left it.

Sydney, Apr 4: An Australian Senator has asked the country's Federal Police as to what the nine police officers were investigating into Dr Mohamed Haneef's case. She said now, after Haneef has been discharged of the terror links charge, the police should close the case and let him continue with his life.
Greens Senator Kerry Nettle said that if the police continued to ponder over the case, it would make the Indian doctor nervous about returning to Australia to continue his profession. "I think it's concerning that there are so many people involved in the Haneef investigation. I want to know what those people are doing, I want to know if there's still a witch hunt and I want to know if the AFP are trying to justify the way they treated Haneef by finding something further to link him to what happened in England," the news.com.au quoted her as saying.
She added: "Haneef went through so much in terms of how he was treated in Australia by the AFP and other authorities. I think he should just be allowed to continue on with his life and I can understand how this would make him nervous about returning to Australia."
Dr Haneef had been working at the Gold Coast Hospital prior to his arrest at Brisbane International Airport last July over suspected links to a failed terror plot in the UK days earlier.
He was held in custody for 12 days before finally being charged with supporting a terrorist organisation for giving away his SIM card to his cousin Sabeel Ahmed, allegedly one of those behind the terror plot.
The charge was dropped in late July following a review of the charge by the commonwealth director of public prosecutions. Dr Haneef has yet to return to Australia despite winning a court battle to have his visa reinstated late last year.

Rooting for heels in the AE
Did any of you ever root for the heels during the Attitude Era? Guys like Austin and Rock seem to be quite universally liked even among the IWC. Of course this might only be because the AE was so long ago and we remember it more fondly because the current Era is just so much worse. Or probably some of us were kids then and just grew to like the faces.
But is there someone here, who during the AE rooted for guys like Jericho, Angle and HHH when they were the heels and going against SCSA, Rock, Taker. Was the atmosphere of the IWC different? Or were you casual fans at the time? But please tell what you think, have you always liked the bad guys or is all this heel-love a product of the current era.
Re: Rooting for heels in the AE
Apparently IWC loved HHH, he was the Internet darling back then, but they hated top faces Austin and The Rock.
The Rock was the John Cena of the era to the internet community. They hated his repetitive and cheesy catchphrases on the mic and 5 moves of doom lol.
Here's the thread-
Re: Rooting for heels in the AE
I do remember a gradual turn against The Rock by 2001 by the IWC. HHH was detested, he had casual heat and bad IWC heat. By the time the IWC developed crowds were less rebellious and the WWF generally had more say in who was legit heel/face, as opposed to 97-98 where rowdy crowds would choose who to root for. By the time the TAE ended I was genuinely sick of both Rock and HHH, they were over exposed in 2000 IMO.
Steiner was smark favourite, his WCW antics near the end were hilarious.
Re: Rooting for heels in the AE
Most of this forum we're 10/11 or younger, so obviously the faces are gonna be fondly remembered.
Re: Rooting for heels in the AE
Re: Rooting for heels in the AE
If you're talking 2003-2005 Evolution version of HHH, then you're right. People hated him bad almost to personal levels.

Jestine from Summerville, SC
I received my package and I absolutely love it. The runner is a little too long but I will live with that. Thank you much. The quality is perfect. The hand work is perfect. Made a great choice thanks again!!!
Susan from Los Angeles, CA
I received my order yesterday and your sweet note this morning. The linens are beautiful in every way, each of them. The two Ruby Kilim curtain panels prove a touch too dark for the room. Sorry, I should have asked for a sample. I'm returning those two panels and keeping everything else. I'll mail them back to you within the next few days. To replace those, I'll order some samples and then two more curtain panels in another color sometime soon. So impressed by the quality of your cotton, the beauty of the prints, thank you so much.
Suzanne from Winston-Salem, NC
I received my order very quickly and LOVE the tablecloth and napkins!! The fabric, design, colors... All just as I'd anticipated! Thank you for this very positive buying experience.
Meghan from Honolulu, HI
I am very happy with my order. Gorgeous!
Christina from Danbury, CT
My package arrived & the tablecloth and napkins are gorgeous. I can't wait for thanksgiving to use them! Thank you for such special products!
Marci from Falls Church, VA
Dear Saffron Marigold, My table runner and matching napkins came over the weekend. I was able to take all of the packaging off today and have a good look at them. They are exquisite. Thank you,
Dora from Scottsdale, AZ
My order arrived and both, the tablecloth and the napkins, are absolutely BEAUTIFUL. It exceeded my expectations and I will be ordering with Saffron Marigold in the future. Thank you!!
Jacqueline from Malibu, CA
Got it! Reviewed it! Love it! Thank you!
Rose from Roxbury, MA
Thank you for reaching out. I did receive the items and they are gorgeous. The white tablecloth was sent to my mom for Mother's Day and the beautiful napkins were sent to my Godmother. I know they will love them. The quality is very good. The bedspread I received is gorgeous- even better looking in person. The matching valance with beaded embellishment is darling and fits the space so well. I was expecting a set of 2 pillow shams and didn't realize that only 1 came in an order. I was looking forward to setting up my bed with two pillows with matching shams to match the rest of the set. I was a little disappointed with that. I'm debating whether to send the item back and realize that I have 30 days to do so. Your products are beautiful and I will definitely be ordering more in the future. Your customer service is equally excellent. Thanks again, Rosie
Caroline from Philomath, OR
The MOST BEAUTIFUL tablecloth and napkins were delivered . I love the Vanilla Glace linens and can't wait to use them for our holiday celebrations. Thanks so much for providing such lovely products.
Ann from Avondale Estates, GA
The package arrived safely and the linens are beautiful. With appreciation for the fine workmanship.
Anneli from Kelmscott, Western Australia, Australia
All the linen looked exactly the way it did online. The Vanilla Glace napkins do look slightly different, the white pattern is less noticeable against the background than it appeared on the photo (I guess due to difference in lighting when the photo was taken). Some of the Kilim Noir napkins have miss aligned and ink-flow flaws in the hand printed pattern, I do however recognise it is hand-made and not every square inch can always be exact, I do love it anyways! I appreciate the time and care you have taken with my order, I am also looking forward to receiving the backordered table cloths that are on their way, hopefully I'll receive these soon.
Beth from South Salem, NY

Re: who do we still need
I personally don't care much about the cast of this game too much as long as they are interesting and unique... But from a characters that I like stand point I'd like to see sackboy, ratchet and clank, wander, ico, snake, cloud, nightmare, prinny and max (dark cloud 2)
None of these are make or break though. I would be a tad dissapointed to not see sackboy but cmon really
Re: who do we still need
Oh and I would also be very delighted to see a colossi from shadow of the colossus appear as a stage. Picture fighting on the back of a huge beast.... that would be so siiiiick
Re: who do we still need
What is a man? (Just look above)... "The ultimate measures of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy".

The franchises that need representation in some form, be it characters, stages, and whatnot are:

Everything else is an awesome added bonus

I'm using a SoundMAX driver version 126.96.36.19960 and the sound card is onboard in the Asus Striker Extreme. That driver is the latest one and reinstalling didn't do anything. The symptoms are: Only PCM audio out. No audio when DTS Interactive is enabled. Not only no audio but, for example, wmp gives an error when trying to play a file. Any comment or idea on how to make dts work would be really appreciated. Regards, Julián

Wade Bortz reckons he's one of maybe 10 people in the world to have kiteboarded off the coast of Diego Garcia, a remote atoll in the Indian Ocean. Kiteboarding, a water sport similar to windsurfing, is just a hobby for Bortz; in the real world, he's a project engineer with the University of Hawaii's Infrasound Laboratory, in Kailua-Kona. But if he weren't an engineer, Bortz figures, he never would have made it to such an exotic locale.
Bortz works on microphone arrays used to detect extremely low-frequency--or infrasonic--waves, which can travel thousands of kilometers following violent explosions, such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. These waves can also come from more subtle sources, such as ocean surf and jet engines. Among infrasound's key uses is monitoring compliance with the United Nations' Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), which established a global network of sensors to listen around the clock for signs of a clandestine nuclear detonation.
The Infrasound Laboratory is responsible for installing and maintaining many of the CTBT sensor arrays--large, spidery contraptions secured to the ground--dotting a number of South Pacific islands, such as Palau and Tahiti. Bortz and his colleagues often spend weeks at a time on site, fixing broken components or debugging software. Between trips, Bortz returns home to the Big Island of Hawaii. "It's definitely a high point of the job, getting to see these awesome places that I wouldn't have seen otherwise," he says.
Living and working in tropical climes has been a big change for Bortz. Born in northern California, he moved to Grand Prairie, Alta., Canada, when he was 8 years old. The engineering impulse came early. "My dad was a chemical engineer, and most of our father-son moments were spent in the garage, fixing cars," he recalls. Although he majored in mechanical engineering, graduating in 1997 with a B.S. degree from the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, his work since has been more in electrical engineering. "In school, you learn how to learn," he says. "Once you're on the job, there's a whole new skill set you have to learn."
Bortz has proved adept at acquiring those new skills. After college, he briefly worked designing printed circuit boards for NovAtel Inc., in Calgary, Alta., and then joined Dynastream Innovations Inc., based in Cochrane, Alta., a start-up firm helmed by one of his former professors. Their first product was a one-of-a-kind speedometer for runners that was based on inertial navigation. The device used micromachined accelerometers to measure a runner's stride more than 1000 times per second. Integrating the measurements gave the distance traveled, and averaging measurements over time gave the speed.
"We took it from an idea to a prototype to a commercial product that could be mass-produced," Bortz says. In all, it took several years, but eventually the company sold the technology to firms such as Nike and Timex for use in watches and other products.
Wanting a change of scenery, Bortz moved to North Vancouver, B.C., Canada, in 2003 and took a job as a field engineer with RailPower Technologies Corp., which was developing energy-efficient trains. The company's main focus was a diesel locomotive. "It's the same technology as a hybrid car, except it weighs 100 tons," Bortz explains. "It has a small diesel generator and 15 tons of batteries, and it uses only half the fuel of a regular locomotive." He enjoyed the work, he says, but after the engineering department was relocated to Erie, Pa., he chose to leave rather than move.
Some friends who were working at the University of Hawaii saw a job posting with the Infrasound Lab and encouraged Bortz to apply. It was in a completely new field of engineering for him, but Bortz was intrigued. The variety in his background combined with his willingness to shift gears made him a strong candidate for the position. Last March, he made the move, and almost immediately shipped off to Palau for a month to troubleshoot a new infrasound array.
"There were a lot of setup problems, but finally everything seemed to be working," he says. "Right when we were about to return to Hawaii, we rebooted the system, and of course it didn't work." The array's satellite link to the Vienna, Austria, headquarters of the CTBT's International Data Center, had gone down. "We spent 5 hours panicking and calling everyone we could think of until we found out that someone in Vienna had pulled the plug and not bothered to tell us," he says.
Returning briefly to Hawaii, Bortz headed next to Diego Garcia, an atoll owned by the British and leased to the U.S. military as a port and air base. There, too, the array had gone down. This time the problem was the computer's hard drive.
"When we go out in the field," he says, "we take whatever we can carry onto the plane and hope we can fix the problem with what we have on hand." But Bortz and colleague David Fee, a field systems engineer, hadn't thought to bring an 18-gigabyte SCSI drive. "We had our travel agent in Singapore send her son to the tech market there, and eventually he found a used one and shipped it to us."
One piece of equipment Bortz never leaves behind, however, is his kiteboarding gear, which he packs neatly into a golf bag. He also finds plenty of time to hit the waves back home in Hawaii. It helps that his boss, Infrasound Laboratory director Milton Garcés, a research geophysicist, likes to surf, and that the lab is conveniently close to some prime beaches. "We work hard," Bortz says. "But we sometimes get windy afternoons off."

Fun Fact: In order to help fund the movie, Smith sold a huge chunk of his massive comic book collection.
Made for only $230,000, Kevin Smith's lo-fi debut Clerks revolutionized independent comedy with its black-and-white home-video quality and nonstop dialogue. Showing the lives of two best friends from New Jersey (one a convenience store clerk and the other a video-store worker), Smith's Generation X classic operates on an incessant amount of profanity, geeky pop-culture references, and an overall slacker's mentality.
Clerks has earned its legendary stripes by showing that anyone with a camera and even a shred of imagination can make a cherished movie-as long as you're funny. A dry Clerks, full of slackers talking endlessly without Smith's vibrant writing, sounds like a cure for insomnia.

Join Martin Guidry for an in-depth discussion in this video Overview of backups in Windows 10, part of Windows 10: Administration.
- In this section, we're going to talk about backup and restore in Windows 10. We have a few different options on how to backup our files in Windows 10. Going to talk about a few of these. The first one is using a technology called File History. This seems to be the preferred way that Microsoft would like us to backup our files. File History automatically creates copies of files on a schedule. By default, once an hour, the machine will check to see if a file has changed, and if it has, it'll make a copy of it.
Then through a fairly simple interface, we can look at the history of this file, and see various changes on it, and restore any of those historical changes to the current location or to a new location. This does require a second hard drive, and it's preferably an external hard drive. Windows 10 also includes a feature called Backup and Restore. The current Backup and Restore technology was introduced in Windows 7, was then removed in Windows 8.1, and then it returns now in Windows 10.
Microsoft still sees this as somewhat of an older technology, and even in the interface, in places we'll see it referred to as "looking for an older backup". This is a traditional backup and restore, where we copy a large number of files at one time for backup, and then we can restore those in a group or individually. When it comes to restoring, Microsoft also offers a feature called Reset This PC. This will return Windows 10 to its original state, and at that time, you would probably run a restore.
So the other backup and restore technologies are focused primarily on backing up our documents, and not so much on backing up the Windows 10 operating system. So the idea is we would just use Reset This PC to get Windows 10 into its original state, and then we could restore our documents. There is another technology called System Image Backups, that backs up all files. It backs up all of our documents, all of our applications, and all of the Windows 10 operating system files.
So we're backing up both user files and system files at the same time. Because it backs up all of the operating system and all of the device drivers, when you go to do a restore, you will need to restore either on exactly the original hardware, or some hardware that's very similar to the hardware on which the backup was taken.
Martin first reviews the various editions of both the desktop and mobile versions of Windows 10. This section covers the special features included with the Enterprise edition, and the hardware requirements for some of the new Windows 10 features. Martin also explains installing and updating drivers and configuring and optimizing the OS, including system properties and power options. Then it's a deep dive into Group Policy, including working with local groups, configuring preferences, and troubleshooting Group Policy. Martin also looks at Windows security—authentication and encryption—as well as the boot process, and concludes the course with a brief look at virtualization, networking, and backup and recovery.

Chapter 10
It was the day before Christmas, and I was sitting in the kitchen doing a crossword puzzle in the newspaper. They had one once a month, and they were really hard. If you were the first one to send the completed puzzle back to the company, they would give you $50. It was incentive to get you to read the paper, but it was incentive for me to get to college. Every cent I earned got me that much closer to a real education, and away from my family. At that time, even though my parents were divorced, my father still came around every week or so. Usually he was drunk, but he got sober once in a while. He was an amazing dad on those rare occasions; he took me to the movies, to play golf, and even taught me how to play chess.
But that day, when I was at the kitchen table, and the phone rang, he was undoubtedly drunk. I remember it like it was yesterday, and no matter how hard I try to forget, the memory always comes sweeping back, stronger each time.
My mother was upstais with a hangover, sleeping it off. I raced to the phone before it woke her up. Those few moments a day where she was asleep or passed out gave me some peace and quiet to do the things I wanted, and the last thing I wanted was to wake up the beast she became when she was woken up in the middle of a nap.
"Hello?" I said into the receiver. At first there was just a lot of background chatter, and then there was heavy breathing. I wasn't frightened, though, because my mom called me many times from bars when she was too drunk to drive herself home, and those calls sounded exactly like that one.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" I asked again. I was just about to hang up when I heard a husky voice, a familiar voice I hadn't heard in a few weeks.
"Hey there, baby! How's my suga-pie?" I recognized it immediatley, the nickname he used for me and only me.
"Hi daddy! Where are you? It's been weeks! Mom and I miss you. And it's almost Christmas!" More background chatter. I heard his roaring laugh through the phone, and pulled it a few inches away from my ear.
"Oh, right. Well suga-" more drunk laughter, "-I'm actually not gonna make it back in time for Christmas mornin'. I'm not gonna make it back at all!" This time a soprano laugh joined in- a woman. Anger started to blossom inside of me.
"Daddy, where are you?" I asked again, firmer. "And who is that with you? Do you need me to come and pick you up?"
I was already reaching for the keys on the dinet when he said, "No suga, stay where you are. You need to listen to me now, ya hear? I ain't comin back." I waited for the 'until' or 'but'. It never came. "Are you listenin? I am leaving you and your mama. Okay? I just need my space." He hung onto the word 'leaving' like it was the only thing keeping him from falling flat on his face. I knew he was really drunk, and I knew that he wasn't thinking straight, but his words sent my heart into a frenzy.
"Come on, daddy. You don't mean that," I insisted in a small voice.
"Goodbye, suga," he said. The phone went dead, the tone a flatline on a heart monitor. I held the receiver for minutes after, as if waiting for it to ring again, to hear his normal, sober laugh fall through the phone and tell me it was all a big joke. But the flatline continued, and the phone was dead.

At her London hotel, Maggie Gyllenhaal has just been asked what she'd like to eat. "I'm fantasising," she purrs, "about scones."
At her London hotel, Maggie Gyllenhaal has just been asked what she'd like to eat. "I'm fantasising," she purrs, "about scones." Naturally, I fear the worst. In her new film, Secretary, she plays a timid young typist, Lee Holloway, who, thanks to her handsome older boss, Mr Grey, discovers the joys of S&M. It's actually more complicated than that, but with a poster that shows a prone, miniskirted bum above long, high-heeled legs, this black comedy definitely has its nudge-nudge aspect. Hitherto, the 25-year-old Gyllenhaal was best known for being sister to the hairier Jake (the two acted together in the acclaimed Donnie Darko). Since Secretary, she has been anointed the extreme queen of indieland. I imagine the stream of male journalists eager to talk about the spanking, and the crawling on all fours, and the full-frontal nudity... Maybe, vis-à-vis the scones, she's testing her powers of suggestiveness. If anyone can make British teatime sound kinky, it's Maggie.
In fact, I've got it all wrong. Exhausted (she flew in overnight) and hungry (she couldn't eat a thing at lunch), it would be more accurate to say that she's hallucinating about scones. And now that I look more closely at her outfit – stripy summer dress and flat sandals – she isn't remotely slinky. The look is more ingénue, circa 1955. Luckily, that's a feint, too. Gyllenhaal, with her saucer-shaped, light-blue eyes, may be perky (and this is when she's tired). What she isn't, is winsome or coy. She's not out to seduce. She's not out to beguile. Phew.
Gyllenhaal, bouncing on to the sofa on which I'm already perched, starts to describe the Secretary shoot. This is, to put it mildly, quite an involved tale, and key to it all is her relationship with James Spader, the blond, weakly pretty star of Sex, Lies, and Videotape and Crash. The way she tells it, the behind-the-scenes antics were as charged and gamey as anything that goes on between Lee and Edward Grey.
Let me explain. When Lee goes to work for Mr Grey (Spader), she's drowning, not waving. Fresh out of a psychiatric hospital, she cuts and burns herself when she's miserable which, given her father's drinking problem, is all the time. Mr Grey takes a paternal interest and insists that she stop "the cutting", then starts punishing her himself. Lee, being a masochist, adores this, and when his attention strays, grabs it back; only for the plot to take another crazy-golf turn when he masturbates against her as she bends over his desk (the film's bleakest and best scene). We've become familiar with Red Riding Hood types who are fascinated by lupine men (Blue Velvet, Catherine Breillat's Romance, The Company of Wolves). The difference here is the meltdown experienced by the wolf in the face of Red's furious appetite for love...
But back to Gyllenhaal and Spader. She'd never seen Crash, or any of his teen movies. All she knew was that he often did "intense... and sexual stuff". In person, however, he made a big impression: "When I met him, I was immediately in love with him!" Apparently, he has a very formal way of talking. "After we'd done our first reading together, he said, with like ellipses between each word, 'Steve [Shainberg, the director], I think you've hired the – most – wonderful – actress!' So you know, he really endeared himself to me." She rolls her eyes. "I remember him saying, right before we started shooting, 'I always have one ally on a movie set. And this time, it's you!'"
She became his new best friend. "He'd just dote on me. He'd do things like get a PA to come to my door – we shared a split trailer – and she'd say, 'James wants you.'" She pulls a wry face. "And I'd like walk the two steps over to James's and knock on his door and he'd say [she drops her voice and stares into my eyes], 'Would you like a chocolate?'" This was no covert operation. "Sometimes, he'd come on set and say [she throws out her arm and puts on a ludicrously grand voice], 'Who can I talk to about getting a very expensive box of chocolates in my room?'" Chocolates, I say, to tempt little girls with. "Exactly!" She cries. "In fact, he used them that way and I let him! I was like, OK, this feels good..."
But, just as easily, his mood could change. "Other times," she says, "he would not give me the time of day, and it was really devastating, you know. I'd be [she adopts a soft, bewildered voice], what is wrong with James today? He's not paying me any mind." She snorts. "And he'd be like doting over the make-up artist."
It all sounds very confusing. She nods. "It was re-enacting what was going on in the film. I don't think it was conscious for me, but I think it was for him. He'd thought it through." She smoothes the cushions some more. "And he did this other thing, which was kind of extraordinary. He really kept his private life away from me. So I didn't have his phone number. I didn't know his kids' names... and it actually made it safer for me. The boundaries were so clear, they were like..." she grins ruefully, "brick walls. So that intimacy we had on set, I didn't feel it was going to bleed into my life."
What's striking, though, is how much real feeling did bleed into the mix, and is still there. She remembers holding his hand during a scene (where the cameras couldn't see) when he was having trouble remembering his lines. Her eyes sparkle: "He was really struggling... he wasn't with me, and all I wanted was for him to be with me, so I held his hand. And it was really cool, because I felt him be moved by me, by my doing that." She also admits to being hurt by an interview they did, once the film was out. "He said, 'The only person I was interested in on that set was Lee Holloway.'" She gulps at the memory. "I was like, 'What the fuck does that mean?' I felt sort of dismissed by that." A big sigh. "But then I said to myself, well, that was me. In his mind, in some ways, there's no distinction. And in my mind, too."
I wonder aloud how all these psycho-dynamics affected the rest of the crew. She says Shainberg was thrilled. "I mean, me and him had our own little club, too – we used to go off in a corner and make fun of James!" She looks at me, thoughtfully. "I wonder if Steven was cultivating that. Cultivating my relationship with James, cultivating my relationship with him, being like a master director." Her eyes widen. "Which would be great. I love that stuff! I love the idea that there's a director I can trust enough to let them manipulate me."
I think she's being a little disingenuous. Gyllenhaal goes on to talk about a running joke between herself and Shainberg, which had her as "the perfect indie actress who was like, just, gonna be so badass and do everything". In fact, she was more than willing to challenge his authority. She and Shainberg wrangled over everything, including the poster (she lost that battle, she thinks it's dumb and sexist); the nudity (apart from one bath scene, she feels she wasn't taken advantage of); the lines (on the whole, she won). "You know," she says, chuckling, "I learnt things from him, but I think he learnt from me, too." I press her for an example, and she says: "Oh, this is a silly one, but I remember for this scene where Lee masturbates in a bathroom, he said, 'OK, so you'll sit down on the toilet.' And I was like, 'What! How could you masturbate that way?'" She laughs. "It was sort of like, he didn't know..."
The 40-year-old Shainberg was obviously taken with his young star, and willing to treat her as an equal. But this didn't go down well with all of the cast. In fact, Lesley Ann Warren (who plays Lee's mother) was very put out. "She was just so jealous, so paranoid," says Gyllenhaal, with a stricken look. "I watched the dailies and I went to her later and said, 'You were great,' and somehow she took it into her head that I hated her in the film and was going to get her edited out of it! I kept trying to be nice, but she was such a bitch, in the end I gave up." She takes a deep breath. "Doing the scenes with Lee's family – that was hard. But the family's supposed to be forced and covered and fake, so..." she shrugs, doubtfully, "in a way, maybe it worked."
There's a knock at the door; it's the scones. Gyllenhaal falls on the plate, piles on the cream and jam, then, with long, delicate fingers, proceeds to wolf them down. "It's OK," she says, "I'll keep talking."
Secretary has changed everything for Gyllenhaal. She was raised in LA – her father is a director (Paris Trout), her mother a writer (Oscar-nominated for Running on Empty). After finishing a degree in literature at Columbia University, she landed a few small parts. Then came Secretary, released in the US in September of last year, which pushed her, if not into the A-league, then certainly the B+ (she's just shot two films, one with John Sayles, the other with Julia Roberts).
Along the way, this "little" movie managed to shake up something else. A few months after the Secretary shoot, she decided to leave LA for New York. She also broke up with her artist boyfriend of five years, "because he and I got stuck in this fantasy of what it's supposed to feel like to love and be loved". So, he didn't mind, I ask, hopefully. Gyllenhaal waves this away. "No, I mean, I think he did, but it was a good thing for me to do." She has a new boyfriend now. "I've realised that it's what makes me happy that's important. People play out roles without realising it. Now I feel like we're [she corrects herself], I'm trying to identify when I am, too, and acknowledge it."
She admits, however, that life post-Secretary has its downside. She was appalled by a journalist who told her he'd watched a tape of Secretary with a male friend, who said: "Let's fast-forward to the sexy parts." She shivers. "He was talking to me, and I felt all of a sudden, this person has seen me naked... At the time, I just went, OK, and let the interview continue. Now, if somebody said that to me, I think I'd confront them. Maybe now I would..." She bites her lip: "Stop [the interview]."
At this point, her very New Yorky agent bustles into the room. Gyllenhaal goes on to say how useful her parents have been – especially her mum Naomi, who's advised her to do less press. A dry aside from the agent: "Thanks, Naomi!" "This stuff is scaring me," continues Gyllenhaal. "But I have some control, I should use it."
She'd much rather be at home, she says, doing her dishes, or making her bed before she goes out. "I think a made bed is so much nicer to get into than an un-made one, don't you?" I think with horror of the rumpled mess waiting at home. Then we all troop down the corridor. "So I'll read that script..." says Gyllenhaal. "No," says the agent, "first we need to sort out your flight." "Oh God," groans Gyllenhaal, "I'm so tired." And off she trots, determined to make all her sweet dreams come true.

The Dress by Nicole is a boutique located in downtown Wheaton featuring an exquisite collection of bridal and special occasion gowns and accessories. Whatever your occasion, we're excited to help you find THE dress!
Recommend this bridal shop or tuxedo rental? What did you love most?
The Dress by Nicole is exceptional!!! All the dresses there are just absolutely beautiful! I went in with a few pictures of dresses that I liked - all of which were very different from each other. Nicole knew exactly what I was looking for and pulled a few dresses that were all amazing. With her help I found the dress of my dreams and even better! Words cannot even begin to describe how beautiful and amazing it was! It was PERFECT!!!!! Above and beyond anything I have ever seen before, more incredible than I could have ever imagined or could have ever even dream of! Still to this day I am getting compliments from people on how beautiful I looked in my gorgeous dress!! J All the girls that work at The Dress by Nicole are so sweet, caring and helpful. The boutique is just incomparable to anything else! Not only did I get my gorgeous wedding dress there but I also found the dress I wore for my rehearsal dinner, my brides maids dresses, jewelry, AND hair accessories! Hands down the best place you could ever find!!!
Lots of wedding dresses & tuxedos? Ask about your wedding style? Trunk show? Discounts?
The styles here were great. I could have purchased 4 of the dresses here. At other shops, there just were not interesting dresses like at The Dress by Nicole. I was very pleased by my easy appointments with good service there. Because I work in the wedding industry, I knew what I didn't like but I didn't know what I wanted. Nicole helped me select what would get the sophisticated look I wanted. The shop was recommended for its quality by my seamstress (I didn't want to be one of those brides with a terrible wedding dress problem story). I know Nicole also did a great job and helped brides at the very last minute who had purchased dresses at a shop in the Chicago area that burned down. The price range was reasonable. I bought my veil, shoes, comb, earrings, and dress here. There were lovely options!
My mother also bought two dresses here-for my wedding and my brother's.
I wish I had more events to go to as the evening/prom/cocktail dresses are super cute...

Seasonal cuisine makes for a fresh, flavorful menu that reflects nature, unlike the unholy surf-and-turf created by force-feeding lobsters to cows. Dine in temporally harmonious style with today's Groupon: for $12, you get $25 worth of seasonal Northwestern cuisine and drinks at Archery Bistro in Normandy Park.
Shoot yourself in the mouth with the deliciously straight-arrow flavors of Archery Bistro's seasonal menu. Current starters of lamb lollipops (meatballs with mint syrup, $8) and locally harvested mussels and clams à la normande (prepared in apple brandy with fennel and garlic butter, $7) will keep hyperactive taste buds focused as you look over spring/summer entrees such as the grilled Angus flat-iron steak with truffle fries and demi glaze ($15). The wine list at Archery Bistro varies with the menus, but diners can choose from more than 15 wines for under $9 by the glass. Feel free to ask your server for their expert advice on the finest entree/vino pairings or just to help extricate your hoof from the bear trap on the floor that—like the canoe suspended from the ceiling and the archery bows lining the walls for convenient dinner swashbuckling—adds to the bistro's rustic ambience.
Archery Bistro began when it opened on the site originally occupied by the old Northwest Archery building, taking their traditions of extreme precision on the target range and applying it to the neighborhood's taste buds. Archery Bistro's open, friendly atmosphere turns every group of bistro-goers into a boisterous gathering of merry men. Swing in via public-transit chandelier and enjoy a deliciously in-season feast with today's Groupon to Archery Bistro.
Archery Bistro is closed on Sunday and Monday.
Archery Bistro was featured by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer upon opening in November 2009. Since then, six Yelpers have given it an average of four stars, and OpenTable reviewers give it an average of 3.4 stars.
- The food was amazing, I have to go back to try all the other menu items. – An OpenTable reviewer who dined on 04/09/2010

The House of Wilson is about to crumble as more an more blogs, OPED's and news stories question what I and others have been questioning for nearly two years now - the credibility (or lack of it) of one "Mr. Africa" Joseph Wilson.
This article in Amerian Spectator piggybacks on the work of others and that's a good thing as the more who talk about it, the more people will hear and know the truth, which is posted at Langley, "and the Truth Shall Set You Free".
Author Jed Babbin covers most of what readers of this blog and AJ Strata's blog and Tom McGuire's blog already know. To wit: That this Plame Game was cooked up and served by rogue CIA ops, mostly retired and active, in a attempt 1) To discret the Present Adminstration, and 2) To cover up the selling of uranium to rogue nations for nothing more than the oldest motivator in the world - money.
He too would like to see a full investigation into the Plame Game, asking such questions as:
"The whole Wilson/Plame affair stinks to high heaven. And the smell is coming from Langley. Porter Goss should receive credit for working hard to fix the CIA. The Wilson affair isn't his problem, it's ours. Right now, the CIA's disinformation campaign has cost Scooter Libby his future, threatens other White House staffers and -- most importantly -- burdens the credibility of the president in time of war. It affects our standing in the world, our relationship with our allies, and our strength in the eyes of our enemies. In short, this damned thing needs to be unraveled, publicly, and right bloody now.
The American people need this matter investigated forthwith, and not -- God help us -- by yet another special counsel. The Senate Intelligence Committee should, immediately, investigate and get the following questions answered publicly as soon as possible:
1) What precisely does the CIA criminal referral that started the Fitzgerald investigation say? It should be declassified and published;
2) Who approved the criminal referral and why?
3) Was Pavitt the person who approved the Wilson mission? Who else approved the mission and how it was to be performed?
4) Why did they choose Wilson instead of someone qualified?
5) Why wasn't Wilson required to sign a confidentiality agreement?
6) Were his various op-eds vetted at CIA?
7) Who else, beside Vallely and his wife, knew Plame was a CIA employee, when did they know it, and from whom?
8) Who was Bob Novak's source? Was it Wilson? Pavitt? Someone else at CIA? "
These actually be questions I will answer and review answers already given in future posts - stay tuned.

[As a number of signatories to this Campaign for Peace and Democracy statement are DSA members and friends, we repost part of it here. - Ed.]
We Call for the United States to End Its Wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan! A Statement from the Campaign for Peace and Democracy - October, 2009
This may be a turning point for the expanding U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan, a time when speaking out clearly and unambiguously against war can make a crucial difference. Today we see signs all too reminiscent of the step-by-step deepening of the U.S. commitment to the war in Vietnam in the 1960's. In response, we declare ourselves firmly against military escalation in the region and for the withdrawal of all U.S. and NATO forces from Afghanistan and Pakistan now. We also call for an end to drone attacks in both countries.
There are currently 108,000 NATO troops in Afghanistan. President Obama has authorized increasing U.S. forces by 21,000, which will mean more than 68,000 U.S. troops by the end of 2009. In view of the war's growing unpopularity, Obama may very well abandon troop escalation. Reportedly, some in the Administration even recommended reducing U.S. forces and focusing more on strikes against Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But even a scaled-back military presence constitutes an illegitimate occupation, one that wreaks havoc on the lives of innocent civilians and can only strengthen the Taliban and terrorist networks such as Al Qaeda.

Gossip can spread like wildfire in a work environment. If you've ever held a job, chances are you have run into someone who enjoyed spreading the newest rumor about a co-worker or someone in management. This destructive behavior can lead to bad feelings among colleagues, low morale and adversely affect productivity. According to the "TechRepublic," an online trade publication for IT professionals, gossip spreads in a workplace as the result of organization problems or a poor management style. It is best to take control of the situation the minute gossip occurs to prevent it from getting out of hand.
Don't invite, spread or tolerate gossip
Set an example for your employees. Avoid gossiping about your boss or your peers. Show respect to those above you even if you do not agree with them. Do not tolerate gossip. (Ref 1)
If you're in management, listen to your employees when they have a complaint or an issue. Employees will be less likely to complain to others about things that aren't going as planned if they know they can count on you. (Ref 1)
Address issues when you know they will occur. For example, if you are aware of a problem with financial statements that could affect bonuses, let employees know ahead of time. They will appreciate the advance notice and there may be less gossip. (ref 1)
Take action against those who start gossip. Confront the troublemakers immediately and let them know that the workplace is not the place for gossip. Set and enforce disciplinary procedures, including written warnings and time off without pay, for those who start rumors.
For employees
Avoid gossiping about others. Change the subject if someone is spreading rumors. Ask about that person's children or a particular project that they might be working on. Chances are, they might not even realize you changed the subject. (ref 2)
Approach your supervisor when you hear gossip in the workplace that could affect your job. For example, if someone is spreading rumors that you took credit for something you did not do, it is best to let your boss know before it gets back to him from someone else. (ref 3)
Act professionally while you are on the job. Complete your tasks on time and always maintain a positive attitude. Your boss will dismiss rumors if you are working hard and your performance is above reproach. (ref 3)
Avoid sharing information about your private life with co-workers. Those who enjoy spreading gossip often try to become friends with everyone. According to CNN, never trust someone who likes to gossip. (ref 2)
Verify Information if you do hear a rumor. Find out all of the facts about the rumor before you jump to any conclusions. Find out both sides of the story. (ref 1)
Find solutions. If co-workers are gossiping about problems at work, attempt to steer the conversation toward a solution -- instead of joining in on the complaints. When people are working together to solve issues they will have less time to complain. (ref 1)

Japanese Christian leader Takakura Tokutaro, 1885-1934, is the focus of this exhaustive historical and theological study. Takakura's life spanned a critical period in developing Japan, a new member of the 'modern family of nations.' At the age of 21, through the preaching of the immensely influential church leader Uemura Masahisa, Takakura converted to the Christian faith. He later spent over two years in the West, reading extensively in British and German theology. Takakura thus faced the challenge of absorbing numerous lines of influence and re-articulating the Christian faith within his own generation's distinctly Japanese linguistic and religio-cultural context. His personal religious experience was a microcosm of the universalization of Christian theology during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Despite having played important leadership roles within the Protestant Church in Japan during the 1920s and early 1930s, Takakura's name is scarcely known outside limited Japanese theological circles. This study lends recognition to his influential role in the Christian Church. It also utilizes Takakura's example to provide further insight into the universalizing trend in Christian thought that continues even today.

We offer only the best quality lift kits for trucks in the industry - the ones we trust on our own rides. Lift kits create greater clearance between the body of your vehicle and the ground, allowing you to fit larger tires! Larger tires give you more clearance between the axle and the ground! The increase in height allows you to tackle obstacles with greater ease! We stock a wide variety of lift kits, designed specifically for your vehicle! We carry the best suspension kits on the market: AEV, BDS, JKS, Old Man Emu, Zone Offroad, Fabtech, and more. If you have questions on which lift or off road truck parts you should run with, give us a call!
