After all the fanfare died down, and the phone calls from college coaches and reporters waned, Rodney Southern sat his star tight end down and changed the game.
Sitting in his plush office on the top floor of the new, $5.6 million Belton field house, the Tigers athletic director laid it out for the 6-foot-6, 230-pound Durham Smythe, who had just committed to the University of Texas.
"I told Durham, 'I've got to be tougher on you now than I was before, (and) you've got to understand that and you've got to take it,'" Southern said.
Smythe is one of nearly a dozen "star" players from the Central Texas area who will face expectations as Division I prospects.
But for a select few, there's an added dimension to the albatross already hanging around their necks because of where they committed to — Texas.
"You're playing for THE school," Southern said. "No matter what people want to say or agree about, kids in this state — yeah, there are people that want to grow up Baylor Bears or Texas A&M Aggies — but when you think football, you're going to think the University of Texas first."
Earlier this summer, in the span of a week, Smythe joined the Harker Heights duo of 6-foot-5, 320-pound center Darius James and 6-4, 210-pound linebacker Naashon Hughes to form an area triumvirate to verbally commit to playing on the 40 Acres.
This year's trio brings the area's Longhorn contingent to a half dozen, joining starting sophomore quarterback David Ash (Belton) in 2010, and last year's class of freshman defensive back Orlando "Duke" Thomas (Copperas Cove) and freshman offensive tackle Camrhon Hughes (Heights), Naashon Hughes' older brother.
"It (says) that we're not just all hype. We're actually out there proving ourselves and being the best," said James, rated the nation's No. 1 center prospect by multiple recruiting services.
Full recruit
Before Ash did it two years ago, the most recent Texas recruit to come out of the Cove-Killeen-Temple area was Shoemaker defensive tackle Roy Miller in 2005, who's in his fourth year playing professionally for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
But the area's 2013 recruiting class is not just reserved for Texas commits. According to Rivals.com, there are nearly 20 area prospects who have drawn interest from Division I programs. That includes seven who have already made commitments to prominent programs such as Baylor and Oklahoma State. Shoemaker tailback Johnny Jefferson chose the Bears in late March after originally committing to Texas A&M, while Killeen defensive back Deric Robertson picked Oklahoma State in mid-May, following commitments from Temple quarterback Zach Allen (Syracuse) and offensive lineman Freddie Johnson (SMU).
With the excitement of committing to a major Division I program comes the potentially overwhelming pressure that follows — pressure to be better, pressure to prove the college recruiters right and the critics wrong, pressure to help the team accomplish its goals while at the same time accomplishing their own.
"That definitely drives us every day at practice. Whether it comes from getting that extra rep in or making that extra tackle, going 110 percent, that definitely drives you," said Naashon Hughes, who committed to the Longhorns despite nothing more than a greyshirt scholarship offer.
For some of the local Texas commits, though, the most difficult part passed when they decided on a college.
"It adds a little bit (of pressure), but it also doesn't add any because we're just out there playing the game," James said.
Finding balance
Of course, there's a balance to be had, both for the athletes receiving extra attention from media and colleges and for the coaches who have to prepare an entire team to take on the challenges of a three-month season.
"You have to coach them through it like with anything else," Harker Heights head coach Mike Mullins said. "You can see people make mistakes every day and it's like we tell them, they're profile kids, they're noticed everywhere they go; and from that standpoint, you have to represent yourself, your school and your community the best way you can."
On the field, that means producing at a greater level than before, and leading the team to where it's capable of going. For most area teams, that is the playoffs and beyond. It also means dealing with being "the guy" every other team is focused on.
"When you do commit to a school like Texas, that immediately takes you out of the shadows," Smythe said. "And that's kind of flattering, knowing all these teams are going to be keying on you. I'm going to try my best to still get open, but if nothing else, it'll help my teammates."
That extra attention can be just the boost a top-tier recruit needs, especially on the field.
"As D-1 caliber players, we have a target on our backs, and everybody wants to be able to say, 'Yeah, I beat him. Yeah, I did this to him,'" James said. "So it makes it that much more fun for us to go out and have them trying their hardest and we're trying our hardest and we're actually getting their all."
But even for the kind of upper-echelon talent that programs like Texas recruit, any added pressure can be a double-edged sword.
That's why proper guidance is needed to put it all into perspective.
Or as Southern told Smythe the day he committed: "Your job at this point is to be the best tight end you can be for this football team. But your job is also to play well in order for the other people on this team to have the same opportunity you've gotten."

When it comes to television, internet, phone or bundling all those services into one, Comcast quite frankly rules the world. They're the largest communications company in the world, and not even the likes of Verizon FIOS, Dish Network or other smaller entities collectively can topple this mogul in their marketplace.
But what about Direct TV, are they equipped to stand toe to toe with Comcast?
Of course, Direct TV isn't in the phone or internet business, so Comcast as a whole likely trumps just about everyone in that vein.
This is more of a battle that centers on entertainment, value and options, and Direct TV is more of a contender than you might think.
The great equalizer and the one aspect that puts Direct TV over the top is its official rights to the NFL Sunday Direct Ticket, which gives fans access to every NFL game on Sundays. Direct TV is quick to point out as well that most of their promotions include NFL Sunday Direct TV as part of their television packages.

she was texting while i was sitting still
What did your insurance company do?
Personal injury cases only; I'm good at it; you be the Judge! All information provided is for informational and educational purposes only. No attorney client relationship has been formed or should be inferred. Please speak with a local and qualified attorney. I truly wish you and those close to you all the best. Jeff www.nyelderinjurylaw.comAsk a similar question
The fact that she struck you in the rear while you were stopped, especially because she was not paying attention but instead texting, would result in a liability finding against her and in your favor. However, aside from coming to an amicable settlement with the woman's insurance company, you do not sue the carrier - you sue the woman and the carrier represents her interests. If you were injured, you should seek medical treatment immediately, and also consult with any attorney, who can represent you for both a property damage claim and a personal injury claim. You do not sue your own insurance company unless it wrongfully denied you whatever benefits you are entitled to receive through your own policy.Ask a similar question
Mr. Schwimmer is correct. Illinois does not have "direct" suits versus insurance carriers. You sue the person, their carrier steps in to defend their interests. In my opinion, cases such as these are becoming all too common and reprehensible. They MAY be grounds for punitive damages in the right situation, but you need court approval before a punitive count can be filed. I am seeing this as a factor more and more. Decades ago when I began, we'd ask about distractions like eating and smoking. Now, it's not uncommon to have witnesses state the person was looking down at their phone while driving right before impact. In fact, there was even a helicopter crash recently caused by texting.
If need be, yes. It all depends how badly you were injured.

To be clear, you cannot sue your insurance carrier but you may have a claim if your injuries merit recovery beyond the limits of the driver who hit you AND if you had underinsurance coverage on your policy. Whether the driver who hit you was texting, high on drugs, dead drunk, had no license, or all of the above has NOTHING to do with the value of your case. That is determined by the extent of your injuries.
You should contact a lawyer to sort out your best plan of action. Whether you will need to actually file a lawsuit depends on many factors (e.g. were you injured). Please feel free to contact my associate, Emily Herrell, at 312-828-9666 for a free consultation.Ask a similar question
This sounds like a typical rear-end collision case. You can present a claim against the at-fault driver, and, if he/she is insured, the insurance company for the at-fault driver will hire an attorney to represent that driver. If the at-fault driver has no insurance, or minimum insurance, then you can pursue an uninsured/underinsured motorist claim against your insurance policy, depending on your policy limits on that coverage. I suggest you consult with an injury attorney who can spend time with you to gather all the information necessary to determine the best course of action to take. Particularly if the at-fault driver is uninsured, you need an attorney to guide you through that process. I have experience presenting and defending motor vehicle accident claims and can help you.Ask a similar question
Maybe. Need more fact about liability and policy limits, among other things.

The suggestion is made that if you wish to protect your rights, you consult with an attorney immediately.Ask a similar question
Keep in mind the suit is personal. There are no direct suits vs insurance in Illinois for what you describe.
If you were injured, retain one of the personal injury lawyers in your state above to investigate a claim. Don't try to resolve it yourself.Ask a similar question
As most have already commented, more facts are needed such as: were you injured? If you were injured, the severity of the injury and need for current and/or future treatment will drive settlement talks and settlement value of your case. I always suggest talking to an experienced injury attorney, if possible, before you provide any statements to the insurance companies. Our website has a great page on auto accidents. Take a look and then give us a call if you want to discuss your case.Ask a similar question
Yes, you may be able to sue both insurance companies; however, it will depend on the type of coverage that you have on your policy. In Louisiana, for bodily injury cases we would look for underinsured motorist (UM) coverage and medical payments coverage.Ask a similar question
You cannot sue the 3rd party tortfeasor's insurance company directly. You may be able to sue your company directly, if there is underinsured motorist coverage involved.
You should obtain needed medical care and treatment immediately and follow the doctor's advice. Do not give any statement to the adverse party or insurance company nor grant them access to any medical records. Photograph the injuries and the damage done to any property. Contact a personal injury attorney in your area as soon as possible so that you can protect your rights. You may also find it helpful to review the Legal Guides I have published on Avvo.com dealing with many of the issues you are now facing. You can access my Legal Guides through my profile page.

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or anything familiar you see/read here.
Rated: T.
Author: Paige Turner.
Summary: Set in New Moon before Alice came back. AU. A/B. "I felt like strangling her and kissing her at the same time. It was an odd feeling, two very powerful, and so very different emotions battling to win inside me."
"I swear that's never happened to me before."
Alice snorted, rolling her eyes. She grabbed one of her pillows, swinging it around into my face. "You're such a dork."
"I am, am I?" I questioned. "If I'm such a dork, then why are you with me?"
She considered this, tapping her chin. "A dork happens to be my type, evidently."
"Maybe I'm really just cool?" I offered with a grin.
The vampire lifted a delicate brow, looking down at me skeptically. "Well let's think back. You told me you were listening to Barbie Girl in the car before you picked me up for our date. You actually meowed at me and Carlisle before we left. You have no idea what to do with yourself during a sex scene in a movie-"
Oh god, she did see that!
My face burned with a blush.
"Even as a werecat you still trip over your own feet, fell out of a tree, dropped any sports ball we've played wereball with, and slipped in the shower." Alice ticked everything off on her fingers as she said them, her smile widening with each tick.
I tried to push her off the bed, but she did a fraceful roll to her feet and walked over to her dresser. "Har har." Jokes still on her, she's the one dating a dork. Yeah! She was dating me!
Dude, we were a thing now! A couple! Holy cow!
"What's with the grin, smiles?" Alice asked, looking at me in the reflection of her mirror. Her pale fingers pulled and fluffed at the black spikes of her hair, styling it in her chaotic perfection once again. Her big honey golden eyes were shining as bright as the sun whenever she looked at me, and she herself wore a blood-red smile on her face.
She giggled again and went back to fixing herself up. I shrugged my shoulder, getting to my feet. "I can't help it." I was exploding with rainbows, hearts, and little smiley faces, like I was some kind of cartoon. The smile wasn't leaving anytime soon.
"Well try to reel it in, just a tad. You're going to make it obvious." She said, turning back around to face me. She grabbed my hand in her cooler one and skipped towards the door.
I grinned even wider, excited to bring the good news to my pack. They could use a little bit of sunshine right about now. Hell, we all could. "So?"
"So..." she hesitated, stopping just in front of the door. With it closed, no one could hear us inside, as the Cullens tried their best to have privacy amongst each other, and sound proofed all their rooms. Still, Alice lowered her voice and looked up at me with a slight grimace. "I haven't told Edward about my feelings for you. Or yours for me, now."
"That's going to crush him." I said slowly, piecing it together. The pixie nodded and I frowned, my shoulders slumping. Over the past month or so, Edward had made great strides in our friendship. Since our little conversation in his room during the bonfire, he hadn't even brought up our relationship again. He had given me my space, and put great effort into being friends. Just friends, which I knew was hard for him. I caught his longing looks every now and then, sometimes he apologized when he knew I saw. I had gone from hating him, to disliking him, to being okay with his presence, all the way back around to liking him again.
As a friend, of course.
So this was not good because I really, really didn't want to hurt him. Not after he redeemed himself. He wasn't that pompous jerk anymore, he was just a nice, lonely boy who missed me.
I sighed, a pout sliding onto my face. "Well I can't tell him. That would break his heart."
"So you want me to?" Alice asked, hip jutting out and eyes narrowing. I nodded with a sheepish smile. "I can't! I'm his sister, it would be betreyal! You have to do it, you're the one who is dating someone new. That's what ex's do."
What? No! I had enough on my plate to deal with already. I had to battle the Volturi and kill the King of vampires! "You're his sister, who is now dating his ex-girlfriend. You have to tell him."
"He's going to kill me, Bella, and then no one will be dating anyone," she deadpanned. Alice groaned, head in her hands. "Okay, okay. Let's just think about this for a second." I nodded, waiting for her to continue. "I think the best course of action right now, would be to wait. There's a lot happening right now, with the newborns and the wolves, and now Victoria. Nobody needs anymore stress, right?"
I snorted. "You can say that again."
She nodded, breathing a sigh of relief. "Alright, then we'll wait until after. Once everything is squared away, and then we'll both talk to Edward. Deal?"
"But," I pouted harder, crossing my arms over my chest. I didn't want to wait. I already did my waiting! Alice's honey eyes beseeched me and I huffed, nodding down at her. "Fine!"
"Okay!" She beamed, grabbing my hand again and dragging me out the door. Sometimes I forgot how close Edward and Alice had been before I came along. The two were best friends, and I had, unknowingly, driven a wedge between them when I moved back to Forks. Of course Alice wasn't in a hurry to tell Edward. Their bond was already so fragile and still mending, this could destroy it completely, and despite everything, Alice loved her brother.
Everyone was gathered in the Cullen's enormous livingroom when we entered. Nadia and the pack were trying to look casual and lounging in the furniture, but they were all mostly gathered around Raven who was looking a lot better. Her silver eyes locked onto mine, a painful but goofy smile sliding onto her face. She gestured between her eyes and mine, her grin growing, like we had just gotten matching tattoos or something. Like we both didn't almost die from silver poisoning. Sigh. That girl.
The Cullens looked much more put together, and I almost thought it was because they'd had more time to practice. Until I remembered that the entire pack, except myself and Ivory, were older than all of them. Rosalie's golden and ruby flecked eyes flickered up to us and then our hands, the corner of her mouth curving up ever so slightly. Alice dropped my hand, but the smile on her face stayed, and something in my head clicked.
"I never hated you-"
"Could have fooled me!"
"I was just mad at you!"
"I didn't do anything to you!"
"But you were hurting her, so forgive me for not being buddy-buddy with you!"
"Hurt who, what are you talking about?"
My mouth fell open and I gaped at the blonde who rolled her eyes. She knew! She knew Alice liked me, even back then. Well great. A little heads up would have been nice. You know, instead of her classic 'you're such a dumb human' she could have went with, I don't know, maybe 'you're such a dumb human because Alice is in love with you'. Oh she and I were going to have words. Loud words, when this was all over.
"Ah, Bella!" Victoria said abruptly. She blurred over to me, a pointed look on her face, her voice sounding kind of funny. Pay attention, Swan. That's what her eyes were saying. "We just finished catching the Cullens up on everything. You know, how we're not behind the wolves and are trying to help you because we have inside scoop from the newborn army."
Ehh. What?
They were helping me because of Alice's prophecy when she was still human, because I needed to kill Aro. "Oh, yeah." That might be hard to swallow from a couple of strangers who everyone previously thought were the bad guys. Charlie here saved Alice when she was human so that I could go to war and save the world. Alice, for one, would freak right the hell out. She needed to be told gently.
A knock on the door had everyone whipping their heads up and looking around. Victoria smiled, relieved that I had followed along with her silent words. Rosalie and Nadia were still looking for a reason to tear her apart, and frankly the truth sounded like a poor lie. That was all they needed. "Ah, here's our inside man now."
Before Esme could move to answer the door, there were two new men standing in the middle of the room. My breath caught in my throat, blinking furiously. As a werecat, I could actually track a vampire's speed now. They got a little blurry still, but I could follow along.
These guys... they were just there. All of a sudden. Like back in the parking lot, it was the guy with the hood! "Holy crap, you can teleport?!"
The young man pulled his hood down, revealing a shag of silver blonde hair. He shook it out of a pair of ruby red eyes that regarded the room cautiously. "I can."
His companion staggered forward, yanking his arm free from the man's grip. "I can't, and I don't like it." He bent over, taking in a deep breath, and coughed a few times. "I'm gonna upchuck, man. How can you do that so casually?"
Victoria pinched the bridge of her nose. "This is the rest of my coven. Peter," she motioned to the blonde who had flickered out of sight, and reappeared behind Charlotte who was by the wall. "And Riley."
The boy straightened back up, a mashed dirty blonde faux hawk atop his head and onyx eyes full of mischief. "What's up?"
"Wait," Edward frowned, blurring over to the boy. He snarled, recognition flaring in his face and grabbed Riley's coat. "He's the one making newborns! I saw him in that vampire's mind, the one who went after Charlie."
Victoria looked over to her mate who shrugged. I frowned. "My dad. Not...not you." I'm sure glad this wasn't confusing! Double sigh.
The boy shoved Edward off of him, crouching down with a hiss that mirrored Edward's. The rest of the Cullens growled, squaring off for a fight. Victoria stood in front of Riley, glaring at Edward. "Would you keep your pants on, Bedhead? We've been telling you since we got here that nothing is what you thought."
"Riley is one of the newborns that was created for this army." Charlie said, coming to his defense. "On account of his impressive control, he was tasked with findin' people to change and bringin' them back with him. That's what you saw."
Victoria nodded. "We made contact with him a few weeks after that. There was still a lot we didn't know about what was going on, and something was fishy. The Volturi should have moved and crushed this army a long time ago."
The other Cullens looked around, seemingly thinking along the same paths. Rosalie had even questioned it back when we figured everything out. Charlie nodded at Riley. "He was eager to work with us, and has been acting as a double agent since."
Both Riley and Victoria rolled with eyes and I had to agree. Double agent sounded lame. He smiled though. "Yeah, I'm glad they came to me when they did. Me and a few others were about to take off. Things there...they aren't good. A lot of people don't want to fight. Most of those ones are killed. Vic and Charlie are giving us a chance to end this, not just run away. So I've been giving them information on what's happening, while gathering those I trust."
"How many newborns?" Jasper asked. His face was grim with understanding, and I remembered him talking about the vampire wars back when he was first changed.
Riley shook his head. "More and more each day. I couldn't tell you exactly how many, but they all wouldn't fit in this room like this." Everyone exchanged worried looks. They had that many vampires and more wolves? "We're not making anymore now. Too much spotlight from the police. And the ones we already have can't help but fight, there are casualties."
"That only means there's more reason to act soon." Esme said. "We're in the final stage now, aren't we?"
Jasper nodded silently.
Finally Peter spoke up, the quiet boy looking around the room. "That isn't the worst of it."
"How does it get worse than that?!" Ivory scoffed. Her hand gripped Ebony's fiercely, and when I focused, I could feel the anxiety and worry eminating from my pack.
"The Volturi," Peter replied, hands in his pockets. "Even if we do make it out of this alive, they're waiting. Letting us tear each other to pieces, so they can swoop down and wipe out the rest of us. They know about the wolves."
Nadia and Thane snarled, fear in their eyes. "No! They can't!"
"If they knew about the wolves, they would have made a move." Carlisle said. "Caius wouldn't wait around, he would want them taken care of immediately."
Ivan growled. "Caius is scared. The coward led an army after us all, one by one, and watched his men drive our race towards extinction. We have evolved into something he cannot defeat with numbers alone. He will wait until he knows we can't fight back, just like last time."
"It'll take time," Victoria said. "The world has evolved along with you. Aro has to save face, he needs to find a reason to put you down. Put us all down, some false justification. We have someone inside their ranks, too. He's gathering witnesses, bringing in covens he knows will side with him, and will put you on a superficial trial, where you will be found guilty, no matter what. Those witnesses will turn into part of his army, and he will crush you."
Murmurs broke out amongst everyone, desperation filling the air. "He'll need time!" Charlie said. Everyone looked over. "Even he can't make this happen without time and help. If this new army moves now, we will have a short window before the Volturi come. Time to gather ourselves and prepare. To call in all the favours owed to us and be ready for them."
"Be ready for them?" Emmett asked. "You mean be ready for war."
Victoria and Charlotte both looked at me and my heart stuttered. This was the beginning of the prophecy. An army to fight against's Aro's, like a chess board. Pawns and Knights and Castles to battle his, while the Kings fight to the death and end it all. What I needed to get to him, to get close enough to kill him.
"We can't focus on that right now." Robyn said. I looked up at her, brought out of my dark thoughts. War meant death. Of friends. Family. It would never end well, it couldn't, and I wasn't ready for it. "The newborns and the wolves, that has to be our main concern. That is happening right now, it's the only enemy we have to fight. We need to cross bridges when we get to them."
Edward nodded. "Agreed. We can't afford to be distracted in the fight, otherwise we might not...come...out...what?" He face scrunched up in confusion, turning to search everyone's faces. Obviously he was trying to track a thought. When his gaze landed on me, I frowned, wondering if he got through my little block, and finally heard me. But his eyes shifted lower, down to Alice, and started darkening. "You..."
He seemed confused, unable to understand what he was hearing and my heart jumped up into my throat. I looked down at Alice who looked petrified and guilty.
She did not just give us away!
"You...love her?" He asked, still confused but more desperately so. Denial. "But I love her, you can't love her more."
Alice stepped forward. "Edward, I'm sorry. I never thought-"
"She loves you?!" He gasped, flinching back like he had been slapped. I saw the pain rip through him, eyes pitch black and hopeless. He sunk in on himself, like someone had stolen his dream from him. "How could you, Alice?"
"Edward, please let me explain!" She begged, a sob in her voice.
She reached for him but he blurred back. "You've had people, Alice. I've had no one, I've been by myself all this time. Alone for eighty seven years, and you stole the only girl I've ever loved!"
"I didn't, Edward, I promise. I kept my feelings to myself all this time, but you ended. You were over, and I love her so much." She said. I blinked the tears out of my eyes, my heart breaking at the sorrow in both their voices. One from betreyal, the other from guilt. "We're mates, I can't fight that for you anymore. I won't, I'm sorry."
The betreyal and sadness in his face twisted into hurt and anger. "You didn't do that for me, Alice. You didn't do anything. She chose me because she loved me, and then she Imprinted on you. It's not Fate, it's genetics. Nature forcing her."
I snarled at the broken sob that escaped Alice, racing over to grab Edward by his shirt. The sneer on his face faded into resignation at my look. "How can you hurt her like that? You're her brother!"
"And she was supposed to be my sister. Not some backstabbing, love stealing, nymph-"
I rammed him back until we hit the wall. "Shut up! She did not steal me, Edward, I love her. From the beginning. Before you, and always, always more than you."
"Great, so I never really had you." He said in a dejected sarcasm. "I never really had anything. I will never have anything. So who cares what I say and what I do, because this, right now, will never change. It doesn't matter. Your love for her? Doesn't matter. Mine for you? Doesn't matter. Nothing in this world matters, don't you get that? Not her feelings, not anything!" He shoved me back away from him, roughly sending me to the ground.
My eyes narrowed as I finally caught on again. Jeeze, I was slow. "I'm not doing it."
He sneered down at me. "I don't care what you do with that harlot!"
"Edward," I warned in a firm voice. "Stop. I'm not going to do it, so just stop. You're going to make yourself feel worse."
Despair crept up in his eyes again, but he held strong to the mask of the man I used to hate. "The only thing I feel is disgust with y-you."
Alice hissed, dark eyes full of tears that would never fall. I got to my feet, holding my hand up to her. "Stop now. I won't, and I won't let the others." His lips trembled, the glare on his face shaky. "Look at me, Edward. I won't."
"Please," he whispered, his voice breaking. The mask fell away to a face crumpled in pain. "Please, Bella. I can't do this anymore. I can't. It's too much."
The boy fell to his knees, dry sobs shaking his entire body. "Bella, please! I have nothing. It doesn't matter. My life doesn't matter!"
Esme gasped and I almost jumped. I'd forgotten everyone was still here. She blurred over to her son, pulling him into her arms. "Edward, no! You can't." She looked around helplessly at everyone who watched on. "This meeting is over."
Both Carlisle and Nadia frowned. "Esme, we still need to-"
Her eyes burned at the blonde man, squeezing Edward closer. "We need to help our son." The anger in her face simmered down to concern while she pulled Edward up to his feet. "Come on, honey. Let's go talk. Carlisle, Jasper."
The two nodded, following them back up the stairs while the rest of us looked around at each other. Emmett shuffled his feet, bumping his shoulder against Scott's. "So, uh, wereball. Back yard. Blow off some steam."
"Please," Scott nodded desperately and the two raced off. The others followed, all having their own stress to work off or ignore for now. Something to distract them while they processed everything that had happened, something to take their worry and frustration out on.
In seconds, I was in the room with just Alice, Charlie, and Victoria. Riley had followed the others out, questioning this 'wereball' and Peter had flickered out of sight again. I sighed, stuffing my hands into my back pockets and rocked on my feet. "So that was awkward." Making popping noises with my lips, I looked up at the other three, all of them staring off in the distance with a disturbed face. Alice had finally calmed down again, and though I could still see the guilt and regret in her eyes, it wasn't so severe anymore. "In the spirit of getting everything off our chests, I have something to say, Alice."
Charlie looked up. "Bella, don't."
"Like a bandaid, we're just going to rip everything off. Nobody could feel any worse right now, so I think this is as good of a time as any." I said with a nod.
The little blonde growled at me with a glare. "Bella, seriously, don't. I don't want-"
"You don't want?" I scoffed. "I'm sorry, but what you want is of very little concern to me right now. My ex boyfriend just had a breakdown and tried to trick me into killing him so he doesn't have to bear the nightmare of an existence he thinks he has. My mate is hurting so bad that I can feel it when I look at her, and I know that I'm part of the cause. I, perhaps inadvertantly and unforseeably, ruined the best and closest relationship she's ever had with her brother, and she blames herself. I can't talk her out of it, just like she can't talk me out of blaming myself." My voice rose and rose in volume and pitch. "So if I have to fufill your damn prophecy and kill Aro, then you have to tell her why!"
Alice's head whipped up. "What?"
"It's not my prophecy!" Charlie exclaimed, her eyes panicked. "It's hers!"
Again, Alice whipped her head around to look at the blonde. "What?"
"Oh, please, from when she was human. She can't remember that. You're the only one who has known about it from the beginning now. It's yours."
"It's not my fault she lost her memory. She knew she would, that's why she got my help to begin with. Her plan, her setup, not mine."
"Wait, wait, wait. What?" Alice looked back and forth between us with more and more confusion each time.
I looked down at her. "Charlie knew you when you were human. She turned you into a vampire."
Honey eyes grew bigger and bigger. "...What?"
"She's been helping your human self complete little prophecies, and setting up big ones. Dragging me into it," I huffed.
Charlie scoffed. "Dragging you into it. Please. I was dragged into it. It's been about you, always you, Bella. That's how prophecies work. They're built around you. Everyone else is dragged in."
Alice stepped in between us both, her face determined. "Everyone just shut up. I don't know what's going on and that never happens, so I'm freaking out here. One at a time, tell me everything you just said."
Despite her indicating that the others were to explain things as well, all three of them looked up at me. With a groan, I took a deep calming breath.
"Simply put, I'm leading a war that will change the world."
Boom. That got heavy pretty quick. Poor Edward. And Alice, for that matter. Jeeze.

Description: A provocative and enduring work that reexamines humanity's place in the natural world -- and the spirit's relation to the flesh -- in the light of Chinese Taoism. That human beings stand separate from a nature that must be controlled, that the mind is somehow superior to the body, and that all sexuality entails a seduction -- a danger and a problem-are all assumptions upon which much of Western thought and culture is based. And all of them in some way underlie our exploitation of the earth, our distrust of emotion, and our loneliness and reluctance to love. Few books have challenged those assumptions as directly as this erudite and engaging work by the author of The Way of Zen. Drawing on the precepts of Taoism, Alan Watts offers an alternative vision of man and the universe -- one in which the distinctions between self and other, spirit and matter give way to a more holistic way of seeing. Nature, Man and Woman is a book of great elegance and far-reaching implication -- one of those rare texts that can change the way we think, feel, and love.

Alan Wilson Watts was born in England in 1915. He was educated at King's School, Canterbury, and the Seabury-Western Theological Seminary in Illinois. Watts was an editor, minister, professor, graduate school dean, and research fellow of Harvard University. Watts has written over twenty books, primarily concerned with Eastern thought and Zen Buddhism in the West. He has lectured at colleges and universities as well, and created more than 500 radio talks which have been taped and circulated among non-profit and educational organizations. Watts died in 1973.
Alan Watts, one-time professional meteorologist, has spent considerable time studying wind changes and short-term alterations in the weather. This, combined with his enthusiasm for sailing which began with the sea scouts, has enabled him to assist people to read the weather from the signs in the sky.

WaPo Calls Suspected Terrorist Backers in Obama-Era FBI Probe 'Peace Protesters'
Today's media bias question: Can you call someone "anti-war" or a "peace protester" if they're suspected of providing material support to violent groups like Hezbollah or the FARC guerrillas in Colombia? Apparently they do at The Washington Post. The top story in Tuesday's Post carries the anodyne headline "Activists cry foul over FBI probe." That should be "Radical-left activists cry foul." The subhead was "Peace protesters, labor organizers are apparent targets." The FBI's anti-terror probes (involving U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald of Plamegate fame) are apparently infuriating Obama labor-union agitators in the Midwest.
You have to read down to paragraph 23 in Peter Wallsten's article to get the real point:
The probe appears to date from 2008, as a number of activists began planning for massive antiwar demonstrations at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul.
After the convention, the FBI's interest continued, apparently focused on the international work pursued by many of the participants. Several activists said they had traveled to Colombia or the Palestinian territories on "fact-finding" trips designed to bolster their case back home against U.S. military support for the Israeli and Colombian governments.
In 2009, a group raised money to travel and deliver about $1,000 to a Palestinian women's group, but the delegation was turned back by officials at the airport in Israel, organizers said.
Search warrants, subpoenas and documents show that the FBI has been interested in links between the activists and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and Hezbollah.
In the early morning of Sept. 24, 2010, agents raided homes in Chicago and Minneapolis, issued subpoenas to 14 activists, and tried to question others around the country, including prominent antiwar organizers in North Carolina and California.
At 7 a.m., according to documents and interviews, about a dozen armed federal agents used a battering ram to force their way into Mick Kelly's second-floor apartment, which sits over an all-night coffee shop in a working-class neighborhood of Minneapolis.
Kelly, 53, a cook in a University of Minnesota dormitory and a member of the Teamsters, said he was at work and his nightgown-clad wife, Linden Gawboy, was slow to answer the door.
Apparently by accident, the agents left something behind: a packet of secret documents headlined "Operation Order," laying out detailed instructions for the FBI SWAT team to find clues of Kelly's activism, including personal finances or those of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, a far-left group he works with. The documents point to the FBI's interest in Kelly's foreign travel. [This was the only use of "left," not to mention "far-left" or "radical left" in the article.]
"We've done absolutely nothing wrong," Kelly said. "We don't know what this is about, but we know that our rights to organize and speak out are being violated."
In Chicago, the raid at the home of Weiner, 49, also targeted her husband, Joe Iosbaker, 52, a University of Illinois-Chicago office worker and a union steward for his SEIU local. The couple are among the grassroots activists close to the world once inhabited by Barack Obama who have been caught up in the investigation.
Like others, Weiner and Iosbacker have been fixtures on the local liberal political scene, protesting police actions, attending antiwar rallies, leading pay equity fights and even doing some volunteer work for Obama's past campaigns.
The Post also mentions union activist Tom Burke, who discussed the murder of Colombian union activists with Obama. They also show a photo of Burke and Obama shaking hands. The headline when the article jumped to A-8 was "Peace activists, labor organizers apparent targets of FBI probe." This is how the Post story began:
FBI agents took box after box of address books, family calendars, artwork and personal letters in their 10-hour raid in September of the century-old house shared by Stephanie Weiner and her husband.
The agents seemed keenly interested in Weiner's home-based business, the Revolutionary Lemonade Stand, which sells silkscreened infant bodysuits and other clothes with socialist slogans, phrases like "Help Wanted: Revolutionaries."
The search was part of a mysterious, ongoing nationwide terrorism investigation with an unusual target: prominent peace activists and politically active labor organizers.
The probe — involving subpoenas to 23 people and raids of seven homes last fall — has triggered a high-powered protest against the Department of Justice and, in the process, could create some political discomfort for President Obama with his union supporters as he gears up for his reelection campaign.
This is America, and you certainly can sell Che Guevara-loving baby clothes in a free country. But it shouldn't be surprising that you might attract attention as a possible supporter of violent revolutionaries.

2014 O'Fallon (Ill.) athlete Micquell Cotton is a prospect that head coach Brandon Joggerst isn't surprised by that fact that schools like Michigan State, Indiana, Iowa State and Syracuse are after.
"He is very physical, and he can run. I think you put those two together then they are two very good attributes," Joggerst said. "He has good closing speed and he brings a lot usually to the point of attack."
The recruiting process wasn't always clear cut for the 5-foot-9, 180 pound three-star prospect, who plays linebacker for O'Fallon.
"I wasn't quite for sure with him because size wise he wasn't 6-foot-1, he wasn't 220 pounds and you know because he is a little undersized and he played linebacker for us it was sort of hard to see where he projected," Joggerst said. "I am not going to say I am surprised that some of the big offers came in for him but I wasn't for sure that was going to happen, because he didn't pass the eyeball test necessarily because of the height factor"
He continued thoughtfully, "But once you know Michigan State sort of came out, once you get someone that caliber you know a few more are going to jump in the fray."
And quite a few more did, but Cotton narrowed his list down to three in May -- Michigan State, Indiana, and Syracuse. Whichever of those schools that picks up a commitment from Cotton, is getting a special player, according to Joggerst.
"I think the fact that he can play sideline to sideline, and he can close and he can run are what makes him special," Joggerst said. "He probably doesn't project as a linebacker in college. That was another reason why you weren't quite sure if it was going to translate -- because most likely he is a safety at the next level."

I put the pix in my profile because I cannot figure out how to copy and paste it into this post. Ugh!
I was told girl at my last ultrasound at 15w2d, but have heard of stories lately where people were reporting back incorrect gender guesses. Plus, I had the MaterniT21 test done at 11 weeks and was told girl with 99.4% accuracy. BUT, then someone posted that they were told girl too and their next three ultrasounds showed boy. So, that started freaking me out because I have started buying things and telling everyone it's a girl.

Full credentials can be found on my website: www.carolynthombs.com
Here is a little information about myself and how I approach this artistic process:
I am not just a Professional Makeup Artist, my approach to makeup and fashion is through the mind set and eyes of an artist. Each client is provided with an indepth consultation ensuring that services provided to them are tailored specifically for their needs and desires.
I am available for weddings, commercial and editorial photoshoots, consultations on projects, runway shows, and private makeup and wardrobe consultations for yourself or a group of your closest friends. As of now I am very selective with my TF/test shoots. If you have an amazing concept that you would like to work with me on I am willing to only charge a basic kit fee. Contact me for more details and with any questions you may have.
I received my Makeup Artist Certification from the Academy of Freelance Makeup (AOFM) in New York City. While attending the program I was able to learn from a vast array of artists in the business. I am now a part of the AOFM Pro team.
I have worked as a Beauty Advisor and Makeup Artist for Lancôme at Macy's, Pentagon City. I was a freelance artist for Lora Kelley Makeup Artists, while also booking jobs for my freelance businees as well.

Marilyn Wann on Weight Diversity
Marilyn Wann is a fat activist, author (Fat!So?), and weight diversity speaker who resides in San Francisco. Recently I was able to ask her about the importance of weight diversity and the evolution of fat acceptance in our society.
Moe: How long have you been an activist?
Marilyn Wann: I started being a fat activist in the mid-nineties, when I was denied health insurance based solely on my weight. I created and published a print 'zine called FAT!SO?, and then wrote the FAT!SO? book. I started speaking when I learned about young fat people who committed suicide because of being bullied and teased about their weight. My first talk was in a junior high health education class taught by a friend.
Moe: Why is weight diversity important?
Marilyn Wann: Weight diversity is a fact about human beings. People have always come in different shapes and sizes and weights. There have always been fat people. There will always be fat people. If fat people are not welcome and encouraged to participate fully in our lives and in our society, then we all lose out on the precious contributions and talents of so many of us! And we're losing out on the full life and full participation of thin people, too, who waste time and money worrying about getting fat. Weight diversity is crucial for the survival of human beings and for the flourishing of our communities. Weight diversity intersects in powerful ways with ethnicity, gender, age, sexuality, physical ability, and class in ways that afford us a wonderful opportunity to undo other oppressions when we welcome weight diversity, too.
Moe: You have been championing fat acceptance for over a decade now? Did you ever think you would still be doing this now?
Marilyn Wann: I never imagined I would be so lucky as to find an endeavor that uses all of my talents and that is endlessly worthwhile, even in the most discouraging moments (say, when I hear First Lady Michelle Obama promising there will be no fat children in 25 years, or when people blame everything from global warming to healthcare costs on fat people). Because I have been a fat activist since the mid-90s and because I'm lucky to know about the history of fat activists who came before me, I can tell that we're winning, that fat hate is going to be very unpopular very soon. It can happen even sooner, the more of us refuse to go along with fat jokes, fat-bashing, fat discrimination… as soon as we make it uncool, inconvenient, and unconscionable.
Moe: Do you see/feel there have been strides made in fat acceptance since you started?
Marilyn Wann: Definitely! When I came out as a proud fat person, I would never have imagined that I would not only be invited to speak about weight discrimination and the need for social justice, but be paid to do so. I'm just one person in a whole fat pride community that is growing in numbers and righteousness. I have been so excited to see people online using the power of their voices and their connections with each other to create the fatosphere. I also think it's necessary for us to be with each other in person, where we can mirror fat pride back to each other, which helps everyone really live our ideals. Fat hate comes from a social message, so we need to experience social settings where we can appreciate our fabulousness and resistance and pride. These community spaces are happening more and more. (And I hope fat gatherings that have not yet been political or activist will become more so!) I'm also hugely heartened by the successes of Health At Every Size experts, who are publishing more and writing more forcefully about the dangers of a weight-based approach to health and the benefits of a weight-neutral approach. Also, since 2004, the interdisciplinary field of fat studies has come together and there have been historic accomplishments. There is a significant shelf of fat studies articles and books, a community of undergraduate students, grad students, recent PhDs, and professors whose careers are all expanding this new field, and this year, we saw "The Fat Studies Reader" get published by NYU Press. These are exciting times to be a fat freedom fighter. In the future, when people look back on the early, scary days of our liberation efforts, you will be able to say that you were one of the cool kids, the early adopters, that you dared to stand up for yourself when it was a risky, influential thing to do.

Mamayev Kurgan is a dominant height overlooking the city of Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad) in Southern Russia. The name in Russian means "tumulus of Mamai". The original Mamayev Kurgan was a Tartar burial mound 102 metres high. The current formation is dominated by a memorial complex commemorating the Battle of Stalingrad (August 1942 to February 1943). The battle was a decisive Soviet victory over Axis forces on the Eastern front of World War II and arguably the bloodiest battle in human history. At the time of its installation in 1967 the statue named The Motherland Calls formed the largest free-standing sculpture in the world.
Constructed 1959 completed in 1967, the statue "The Motherland Calls!" (Russian: Родина-мать зовёт!)is 52 metres high (171 feet) and is made of 5,500 tons of concrete and 2,400 tons of metal. The form of the statue may have been inspired by the Winged Victory of Samothrace, a 2nd century BC marble sculpture of the Greek goddess Nike (Victory) that is on display at the Louvre in Paris . The sword is stainless steel and is 29 metres long weighing 14 tons. The statue not fixed to its foundation by anything but its own weight. The sword of the statue of the Motherland originally made of stainless steel covered with titanium sheets swayed in the wind so in 1972 they replaced it with a fluorinated one.The author of the memorial is E.V.Vuchetich, he was a prominent Soviet sculptor , nationality United Nations( He was born in Yekaterinoslav, Russian Empire , now Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine. The father of Yevgeny Vuchetich, Viktor, was of Serbian nationality, and his mother Anna Andreevna Stewart was a Russian of French descent).

Author | exchange4media News Service | Tuesday, Jul 04,2006 8:57 AM
In a first of its kind initiative, leading media houses of the country have come together to launch a campaign against bribe. The 'Drive Against Bribe' has been spearheaded by Parivartan, an NGO, which has brought together the NDTV Group (NDTV 24x7, NDTV India, NDTV Profit), HT Group (Hindustan Times, Hindustan) Prabhat Khabar, Deshonnati, Andhra Jyothi, Raj Express, Dharitiri and The Hindu to launch a mega drive against bribe.
The nationwide campaign, launched on July 1, 2006, is running in 48 cities of India across 15 states and is aimed at exhorting people to desist from paying bribes. The campaign will be on till July 15, 2006.
The campaign is aimed at advising people to take the help of self help groups backed by these media houses and use the Right to Information Act in resolving their grievances with the Government effectively and expeditiously.
The campaign has been conceptualised by Parivartan, an NGO on RTI (Right to Information) activities. Its chief, Arvind Kejriwal, met Harivansh, Editor of Prabhat Khabar, and discussed the idea with him. It was decided to broad base this campaign across major Indian cities. The NGO got support from NDTV as well.
Sharing their views on the need for coming up with the campaign, an activist of Parivartan, Rajiv Kumar, said, "People have to pay bribes in their daily interaction with government departments – be it getting a passport or a ration card or a license or an income tax refund. Everyone has to either pay a bribe or face harassment. Even if bribe is not asked, there are certain cases where work is simply not being due to a lazy bureaucracy. What does one do in such a situation? Now with RTI Act, the common man does not need to pay any bribes. The Right to Information Act gets the work done. People are already using RTI to get their work done in different government departments. However, the number of such people is insignificant. This is because there is little awareness amongst people about it. It is felt that if a large section of people started using the RTI Act it would be a major step in cleaning up the system."
Vishaka Communication, Delhi has designed a six ads as part of the build up campaign, which were released in all the participating newspapers during the June 15-30, 2006 period. There are three more 'call to action' ads that are currently being released through the same channel. Prabhat Khabar has also released a book called 'Soochnaadhikar', which has been co-authored by its journalist Vishnu Rajgaria and Arvind Kejriwal of Parivartan.

Or so it seems.
Stunts are supposed to push the limits of the imagination and believability. From John Wayne movies with doubles doing saloon fights, to the James Bond franchise with gadgets galore, to Jackie Chan films filled with his incredible kicks and flips, stunts make us gasp.
Of about 6,600 stunt performers who are registered with the Screen Actors Guild, slightly fewer than 1,000 earned more than $25,000 last year. Basic minimum SAG pay for a stunt performer is $2,525 a week, but most beef up their paychecks by doing specialty stunts. And stunt performers, stunt coordinators and second-unit directors, who oversee all stunts on a movie, often negotiate higher salaries. A core group of 200 to 300 support themselves and their families doing stunt work, with incomes ranging from $40,000 to $700,000 a year. Part of the money comes from residuals. How safe is the industry? According to California's Office for Safety and Health Administration, in a report covering January 1998 to May 2003, there were only two deaths involved with motion picture production. Cal/OSHA also reports that in the past five years, there have been 20 hospitalized injuries and six non-hospitalized injuries. Most stunt workers buy health insurance through the Screen Actors Guild; a basic policy generally pays $400 a week in disability. Many buy supplemental policies. Stunt man Chris Tuck says a typical policy costs about $10,000 a year and will pay $25,000 a month if a stunt person is injured. For years, no movie company would insure legendary martial artist Jackie Chan, who insisted on doing his own stunts. He paid all his stunt men and their medical bills when needed. For the first time, he used stunt doubles for last year's The Tuxedo.
In recent years, stunts have grown even more fantastic; most in the industry say the turning point was 2000's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which took martial arts stunts to new heights.
To keep up in a filmmaking world that's increasingly computer-driven —The Hulk monster is completely CG — the stunt world is evolving, too.
Tough stunt doubles who used to fall into cardboard boxes, for example, now fall using elaborate rigging systems and airbags. Safer methods for lighting people on fire have been developed.
"The intrusion of computer-generated images and the whole world of visual effects has created a whole new world of stunt work," says veteran stuntman Terry Leonard, second-unit director/stunt coordinator for 2 Fast 2 Furious, opening today. "Producers are asking me for more. We're reaching for more."
So while filmmakers push the envelope with computer-doctored footage, stunt people are pushing the envelope with their expertise and daring, insisting the industry not leave them behind. And always pushing to keep it looking real.
Perpetuating the myth
For years, stunt doubles were the unknown, unsung risk-takers of movies. Now, that's changing.
"There's more brains than brawn in stunt work today," says producer Gale Anne Hurd, who has made 22 action movies. Her newest, The Hulk, which opens June 20, employed dozens of stunt performers, even though the Hulk himself is a figment of the computer. "He's 15 feet tall, and he's green," she says. "If we could have found an actor that size, we would have."
She avows, "I don't believe any human should ever be replaced by a computer."
For much of his 37 years in the business, Leonard wouldn't talk about doubling for anyone. "In the old days, you never went on the set in the clothes of the actor you were doubling. It's a courtesy you gave the actor." He adds, "You wanted to perpetuate the myth."
Then, as he was doubling Harrison Ford in Raiders of the Lost Ark, doing the famous hand-over-hand, under-the car scene, a TV special was made about it, and Leonard was interviewed. Once the special aired, he suddenly started getting recognized in airports.
Actors have long wanted to perpetuate the myth, too.
Paul Walker told Oprah Winfrey that he did all his own stunts on The Fast and the Furious two years ago, which Chris Tuck, Walker's stunt double, found amusing. Tuck was the one making the jump from the speeding car to the speeding semi — one of the most dangerous of his career. But he doesn't mind Walker, an accomplished driver who does a lot of his own driving in 2 Fast 2 Furious, claiming credit. "I totally understand it. Maybe it'll get him another job, and it might get me one, too."
A stunt person is like an actor, living job to job. And it's not always fun: Chad Stahelski, Keanu Reeves' double in the Matrix films, says he only really thought about a career change when a film called for him to be buried alive. And Gloria Fontenot, who doubled Drew Barrymore in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, realizes now that sitting just about a foot away from an unrestrained mountain lion for a movie stunt was probably tempting fate a little too much.
But all stunt performers say the business is about safety.
In 1980, stunt woman Heidi von Beltz was left paralyzed from a stunt car crash on the set of Cannonball Run. Two years later Vic Morrow and two children died in a helicopter accident on the set of Twilight Zone: The Movie. Since then, stricter safety standards have been put into effect; the Screen Actors Guild does much of the policing, sending representatives to sets and keeping updated on safety regulations.
"My biggest stunt is driving to work every morning," says Tuck, 32. He says the industry is "constantly getting safer." According to California's Occupational Safety and Health Administration, only two movie production deaths were investigated in the past five years.
Red-carpet action
At Sunday's Taurus World Stunt Awards, a check was given to the widow of Harry O'Connor, known throughout the community as one of the best in skydiving-related stunts. He died in April 2002 at age 45 while filming a stunt in Prague for the movie XXX. The stunt involved parasailing under a bridge. He had performed it several times and was doing one more take. But he wound up being just a fraction of an inch off, however, and it cost him his life.
The night was sort of the Oscars for stunt people, executive-produced by veteran Don Mischer, hosted by Dennis Hopper, and taped to air Monday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the USA Network.
At one point, Hopper lit himself on fire in a comedy sketch. To present an award, Michelle Rodriguez rode in on the back of a Army Jeep. In another bit, it appeared that Jennifer Garner zoomed in on a zip line from the rooftop of a nearby building at the Paramount studios lot and through a brick wall.
"They weren't kidding when they told me my entrance would be smashing," the Alias star said. Then Garner brought out her "better half," as she said, introducing her stunt double (for Alias and Daredevil), Shauna Duggins, who was the one on the zip line. Garner, however, actually went through the (fake) wall.
Harrison Ford got an honorary award for being an action movie star. Arnold Schwarznegger, who presented, poked fun at himself, saying he almost didn't make it because he was injured on the set of Terminator 3. "I severely strained my back trying to deliver more than two lines of dialogue," he said. The stunt folks cracked up at that.
The general feeling in the community is that actors are good at what they do and should do it; stunt people should handle the stunts.
But that's not always what happens. Director Ron Shelton recently said in an interview with W magazine that as soon as he said "Action!" on the upcoming movie Hollywood Homicide, Harrison Ford would shove the stunt double out of the way and charge into the shot. Ford has always said that's the fun part of making movies — the running and jumping and falling down, even though it has meant surgeries to his knees and back.
Kristanna Loken, who plays the villianness in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, spent eight months preparing for her role as a killing machine to look like a real killing machine.
"The whole objective of the Terminator characters is that they're not humans. You're doing things not humanly possible and making it look effortless. I had to do a lot of running with my mouth closed, for example." And she adds, "The whole thing with Terminator is they didn't want it to be martial artsy, any kind of Hong Kong phooey stuff. They wanted it to be like bulldozers going at it, that kind of explosive huge energy."
That same focus on keeping it real is why Thomas Jane is training now with four Navy SEALs for next year's The Punisher. Every day he goes to Huntington Beach to learn basic weapons training.
"The stuff on the wires and all that crazy dancing that was done so well in Crouching Tiger is beautiful, but it's not very real world. We're kind of going back to old-fashioned days — serious hand-to-hand combat without all the trickery and dancing."
It's scarier, he says. "Stylized violence is a way of stepping away from violence and making it palatable. With our movie, we inject a sense of here's what happens when it really goes down."
Jane will spend months training. How much will he do himself?
"I've done a few action films now, and it's very popular to try to do all the stunts yourself — until the insurance company steps in and says no. No film is going to ever go beyond that." If any actor is unable to work and production has to shut down, money is lost.
But even during non-stunt filming, actors get hurt. Halle Berry broke her arm recently on the set of Gothika. Carrie-Anne Moss broke her leg while training for The Matrix Reloaded. On the HBO movie 61*, Jane says he broke his hand playing baseball.
On the set of Deep BlueSea, he developed a double hernia after he had to do a big jump in a scene in which a laboratory is flooded. But he didn't tell anyone until filming was over. He walked around with the injury for six months because he didn't want to lose out on his first big action film.
Actors want to do the daredevil stuff if they can. It's usually a part of their character — and it's challenging and fun.
Jane points to the classic scene in The Great Escape in which Steve McQueen jumps over the fence on a motorcycle. "He was aching to do it. They absolutely refused to let him do it. For years he told people he did it. And he looked so cool doing it!" In fact, it was a stunt man named Bud Eakins.
And even though there is so much amazing motorcycling in Charlie's Angels that it was subtitled Full Throttle, Tuck, the stunt coordinator, says, "None of the actresses were ever on a running motorcycle."
Real motocross champions did much of the racing; stunt women doubled for the three stars.
"I grew up playing cowboys and Indians. Now kids are growing up with computer games, so they're used to seeing the computer images," says 2 Fast 2 Furious' Leonard. "But I think people will always want to see what's real."
