Mike Nichols and Jack O'Brien Discuss WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF and THE GRADUATE
Yesterday evening, Broadway's John Golden Theatre hosted directors Mike Nichols and Jack O'Brien. According to Deadline, they spent the evening discussing movies and filmmaking, specifically Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and The Graduate.
Click here for the full article.
Nichols recalled his first encounter Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, "I went to see Virginia Woolf and I was stunned, paralyzed. I'd never seen such a play. Two years passed, and I read that they'd hired Elizabeth Taylor to do Virginia Woolf." He then sent a message to the actress asking to direct the film, a proposal which she accepted. He then cast the lead actor, "I cast Burton - because they're already there. The people in the play loved each other, as they did. And they had issues..."
Nichols loved having filmed the play in black-and-white. He said that he relearned "how beautiful black-and-white is. It's not literal. It's a metaphor automatically, already saying, this is not life, it's about life. I was excited about that."
He then switched to talking about The Graduate and the spontaneity and luck that comes with creativity.
He commented, "That part of us that comes from the unconscious is what we have to nourish... It took me 50 years to realize that The Graduate is Phedre. These Ur-stories that we have from the Greeks and creep into our unconscious will come back. These stories are who we are."
This event was part of a conversation which is being filmed for HBO. An air date has not yet been announced.

A bill designed to encourage walking and biking will be introduced at the legislature Monday.
It's called the "Complete Streets" bill, and it directs the Minnesota Department of Transportation to plan for all types of uses as it designs new roads and rebuilds old ones.
DFL Rep. Mike Obermueller of Eagan said it will provide several benefits.
"It makes good sense for people trying to plan ahead, so we use money efficiently; makes sense to think about how we'll reduce the epidemic of obesity we have," Obermueller said. "[It] gets people out moving around, makes it easier to use the roads, and frankly the best reason is, it makes the roads a lot safer for everybody who comes in contact with them."
The bill applies to roads built with state money and also encourages local governments to plan for all road users.

Watch: First Footage for Brad Pitt's 'World War Z' in a Teaser Teaser
by Alex Billington
November 6, 2012
Another teaser for the teaser. Worst of all, this one is from Entertainment Tonight, meaning it's plagued by the worst kind of graphic overlays and editing mishaps. (Can we please start a petition to boycott any ET premieres?) However, since this is the first finished footage from one highly anticipated upcoming zombie movie, it's worth watching anyway. This teaser footage is for World War Z, the adaptation of Max Brooks' zombie novel starring Brad Pitt as a UN rep recounting the zombie war. And damn there are zombies, hundreds of thousands of millions of them. It might be the best part of this brief 30-sec tease. Take a look!
Here's the first "In 3 Days" teaser footage from ET for Marc Forster's World War Z uploaded on YouTube:
A UN employee racing against time and fate travels the world trying to stop a growing zombie pandemic.
This World War Z movie is directed by German filmmaker Marc Forster, of films Monster's Ball, Finding Neverland, Stranger Than Fiction, The Kite Runner, Quantum of Solace and Machine Gun Preacher previously. The screenplay was written by Matthew Michael Carnahan (The Kingdom, State of Play), revised by Damon Lindelof (Star Trek, Prometheus). It's adapted from Max Brooks' beststelling zombie book World War Z. Paramount is adapting this and preparing Marc Forster's World War Z for a release next summer, starting June 21st, 2013, after being delayed from December. Stay tuned for the trailer. First thoughts?

BERLIN – Humans love to suppress abstract dangers. They react only after they get their fingers burned. In handling nuclear risks, however, we can hardly get away with such childlike behavior.
To begin with, the old system of nuclear deterrence, which has survived particularly in the United States and Russia since the Cold War's end, still involves lots of risks and dangers. While the international public largely ignores this fact, the risks remain.
To be sure, in the 1990's the US and Russia reduced their nuclear arsenals from 65,000 to approximately 26,000 weapons. But this number is still almost unimaginable and beyond any rational level needed for deterrence. Moreover, there are another 1,000 nuclear weapons in the hands of other nuclear states.
A second cause for worry is that the world is poised to enter a new nuclear age that threatens to be even more dangerous and expensive than the Cold War era of mutually assured destruction (MAD). Indeed, the outlines of this new nuclear age are already visible:

Why you should be careful when wearing makeup to work
Seriously, I never wore much make up until I began working. I mean, maybe some concealer here and there, but the whole eyeshadow- eyeliner- mascara- lipstick- blush deal... not so much. And in part for that very reason: I knew that if you wear that then that becomes your normal base line and any time you accidentally oversleep and therefore rush out the door before applying any you end up looking like a sad woeful creature who needs to be in bed with some chicken noodle soup.
Although, then again, perhaps being able to look pale and pitiful and in desperate need of chicken soup when not wearing make-up, could come in handy on days one needs to retire home early to catch up on their Ugly Betty on-line reruns*
**Disclaimer: I, Aisha, do not in any way shape or form condone the use of duplicitous methods such as the not wearing of make up for the purpose of appearing woeful and thus inspiring pity points and being able to go home early for the implied dreadful illness that has surely overtaken you to cause you to look as you do. The former paragraph was merely stated as pun intended only to humor and not to advocate for any actual going home early moments whatsoever. (Picture source here)

Aisha, I'm at work right now (of course on my lunch break) and this post cracked me up!
My normal routine is: Foundation, blush, eye-liner, lip-liner/stick AND now that I have mastered how to apply Mascara without my mouth open, I use that too! But everything is in moderation.
Anyway, the times when I do rush out the door without painting my face, I get the "Are you feeling okay?" stares and questions. So I know exactly what you mean lol!
P.S. About that Disclaimer...Now you really sound like a lawyer lol!! :oD

- Tee said...
LOL @ Enyur's P.S!
This is why I don't do makeup often. That way when I do wear it people are amazed that I actually clean up alright. LOL. Better to surprise them once in awhile than to get their expectations too high.
By the way - I'm passing on a fabulous little award to you at SpiltMilkBlog.com --- You don't have to display it or play the meme thing if you don't want. I know you're busy! :) (But I do think you're fabulous all the same.) :D

I remember reading a study that showed women who wear makeup were more likely to be promoted than women who did not. I still don't know what this says about society and I remember at the time my rebellious nature wanting to never wear makeup again.
Then I got up the next morning, looked in the mirror, and started layering on the face I use to face the world.
And yet, there is a picture on the internet of me without any makeup on. I don't tell people where because I am afraid that if anyone looks at it for too long they may go blind and I wouldn't want to be responsible for anyone else's stumbling around. I do that well enough on my own.

Enyur, lol, I hate the laughing at work particularly when it happens at the wrong time!! :)
Tee, aww thanks for the award! I would go back to the non-makeup look except now I'm too weirded out to be w/out :(
Satia, hey nanowrimio-ian!! Yeah, I am not surprised that women who wear makeup get promoted more. I think there are assumptions that come with make up wearing... probably subconscious but there nonetheless.
Suroor, lol I think its safe to say I did not look like her cute as she is :)
Muslim Wife, thanks :)) (I am eagerly awaiting to meet you!!)

Porsche North America Works Team Earns Top-Five in Canada
Posted by: newsla on Jul 14, 2014 - 07:06 AM
Porsche North America Works Team Earns Top-Five in Canada
In todayâs sixth-round of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park, Porsche North America placed one of its two factory efforts into the top-five of the GT Le Mans (GTLM) class Mobil 1 SportsCar Grand Prix results. The finish came after a mistake-free race by both team and drivers. In the customer team-focused GT Daytona (GTD) class, Park Place Motorsport nearly scored their first victory in the class before a last lap pass dropped them to second in a dramatic battle.
Porsche 911 RSR
Nick Tandy (Great Britain) started and finished the No. 911 Porsche North America Porsche 911 RSR at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park (CTMP). The Brit relinquished the ride less than one hour into the event to teammate Richard Lietz (Austria) to maximize pit strategy in the two-hour, 45-minute race. Tandy returned behind the wheel for the final hour. The strategy, coupled with two error-free pit stops by the Porsche North America operation, moved the team as high as fourth in class. They would take the checkered flag in fifth.
The team car, the No. 912, was started by Patrick Long (Playa del Rey, California) in eighth-place. The American charged the car as high as fourth before handing the wheel to Michael Christensen (Denmark). After pit stop sequencing, the second works car was in eighth in the incredibly competitive field of factory cars. The young Dane, who like Tandy and Lietz had never before driven at CTMP, took the checkered flag in ninth.
The only customer team to field a Porsche 911 RSR in North America, Team Falken Tire, had the best qualifying effort for the marque this weekend starting third. Bryan Sellers (Braselton, Georgia), started third in the field. The American fought off multiple attacks before succumbing to the onslaught late in his stint. Factory driver Wolf Henzler (Germany) took over from sixth for the second-half of the race eventually finishing seventh in class.
GT Daytona
Canadian Tire Motorsport Park proved to be a good circuit for the Porsche 911 GT America customer teams, as many of the Porsche entries ran their best race of the season. The No. 73 Park Place Motorsports Porsche 911 GT America, based at the Park Place Porsche dealership in Dallas, Texas, narrowly missed its first TUDOR Championship event as it was passed on the next-to-last lap by Jeroen Bleekemolen (The Netherlands) in the SRT Viper. Kevin Estre (Germany), former French Carrera cup champion, took over from Patrick Lindsey (Santa Barbara, California) after Lindsey brought the car into the pits in second place for the driver change. Estre, who had been the fastest car in class during three of the four practice session, maintained an 8 -12 second lead for the last hour of the race, but he lost time behind a lapped Ferrari which would not let him by, and then was bumped by the No. 912 Porsche works entry, and the Viper slipped by for the win. Still, the Park Place Porsche finished second â their best finish of the season and their first podium.
The No. 81 GB Autosport Porsche 911 GT America of Damien Faulkner (Ireland) and Ben Barker (Great Britain) was fourth â also their best finish â while the No. 22 Alex Job Racing Porsche of Cooper MacNeil (Hinsdale, Illinois) and Leh Keen (Atlanta, Georgia) finished fifth. In the GTD points, the Andy Lally (Dacula, Georgia)/John Potter (Salt Lake City, Utah) Magnus Racing Porsche gained points in the standings despite their ninth place finish. Lally/Potter are now only three points out of first-place in GTD points. The Alex Job Racing drivers MacNeil and Keen, are only seven points behind the leader. In all, Porsche customers took six of the top ten sports in GTD.
Richard Lietz, No. 911 Porsche North America Porsche 911 RSR: âWith such a short race track and the amount of cars on it, you have to be very lucky in traffic. I got the slow cars in the right spots and I didnât lose too much time, so I was very happy. At the end of the stint the drink bottle didnât work, so it got quite hot in the car. We still have to improve the balance a bit, but we did our best. We have a chance to play with the rest but we are still not fast enough.â
Nick Tandy, No. 911 Porsche North America Porsche 911 RSR: âWe were battling from the start with the No. 56 car. It was a really great race. We managed to get ahead in the first stint and the race was panning out as weâd planned. We were good through the middle of the race and then we met again in the final stint. In traffic he managed to get past and toward the end we got caught out in traffic and dropped back too much. Weâre quite happy with the points from this weekend. It was more than we were expecting.â
Michael Christensen, No. 912 Porsche North America Porsche 911 RSR: âThe first stint was quite tough with the tires. The second stint was much better and through the end of the race. I was quite happy at the end of the race. It was fun to have something to chase, but we were a bit short on time.â
Patrick Long, No. 912 Porsche North America Porsche 911 RSR: âThe opening stint I had a good battle with Farnbacher and Tandy. I tried to maintain position at the end with Priaulx. It was challenging with the changing track conditions. It had just stopped raining and then the grip went down pretty quickly. I had a tough middle section of the stint, but the beginning and the end were quite strong. My main focus was to keep the car clean and within striking distance.â
Wolf Henzler, No. 17 Team Falken Tire Porsche 911 RSR: âA tough race. The balanced changed from the first to the second stint and we donât know why. Our tires worked well and were consistent and didnât drop off. That was a huge gain from the last race. We can be proud. We had a good weekend. The car was good. It was balanced. I hope next race we will do better for sure.â
Bryan Sellers, No. 17 Team Falken Tire Porsche 911 RSR: âNot a great result for us today but we definitely had some improvements for Team Falken Tire. It is better than we have had in the past. We definitely still have some work we need to do in terms of balance but I felt like our warm-up and duration of the tires was much better this weekend. Our speed was not too bad. We need to try and make sure we are in a better place at the end of the race to see what happens.â
Patrick Lindsey, No. 73 Park Place Porsche 911 GT America: âWe came from seventh place early and I had my best lap right before the driver change, and Kevin took over first place on the pit stop. Traffic was tough as the track was really green after the morning rain, so the grip was way down. It was good to get into the first group, and we had a great shot to win.â
Kevin Estre, No. 73 Park Place Porsche 911 GT America: âOur car was not perfect during qualifying, but the Park Place crew made some adjustments and the Porsche was great today. I could turn great laps while, at the same time, managing the tire. I got held-up big time at the end by a lapped Ferrari who was not racing for position, and that gave the Viper a chance to contest for the lead. Then one of the GTLM Porsches was very aggressive in trying to pass me, and bumped me wide of the racing line. That allowed the Viper to get by, and I could not catch up. Second place was good, but I felt bad for the crew, who worked so hard to get us a win.â
Leh Keen, No. 22 Alex Job Racing Porsche 911 GT America: âIt was a good points day for us, even though it was a tough event all the way around. We made a lot of changes all weekend trying to find the ultimate set-up. The track was really tricky out there today. Everyone looked like they were struggling with their cars as well. The guys made a great adjustment late on the car and I was able to get a good top five finish today. We have had a few top fiveâs this year and that is why we are up at the top fighting for the point lead.â
Cooper MacNeil, No 22 Alex Job Racing Porsche 911 GT America: âOverall it was a good weekend for our WeatherTech Porsche. After a tough race at The Glen, a top five finish is really good. I was fighting understeer and then back to oversteer during my stint. It made it difficult. Leh did a great job to get us back up there in fifth. We finished ahead of the two cars that were in front of us coming into this race in points, so that is a pretty good day.â
Owen Hayes, Director of Operations, Porsche Motorsport North America: âWe lost a lot of time in the fast sections. Everybody here found that tire degradation was an issue. We tried to manage that as best as we could. We are not going to give up. We are going to keep on pushing like crazy. We are waiting for some of the tracks to suit us a little bit better as well.â
The next round of the Tudor Championship will be held at the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the United States. The two-hour and 45-minute race for both GTLM and GTD classes will take the green flag on Friday, July 25 at 5:45 p.m. C.T.

2014 IndyCar (Media Day): IndyCar - Juan Pablo Montoya
Posted by: newsla on Feb 18, 2014 - 07:04 PM
2014 IndyCar (Media Day): IndyCar - Juan Pablo Montoya
An interview with:
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA, NO. 2 VERIZON TEAM PENSKE CHEVROLET, met with members of the media and discussed his return to IndyCar, pre-season testing, his teammates at Team Penske and other topics.
THE MODERATOR: We have Juan Pablo Montoya rejoining the IndyCar Series.
Juan, going through some testing already, your thoughts?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: I'm really excited. I mean, I feel like I'm not where I want to be yet with the car. I feel we have come a long way.
It's weird. Sometimes we're really good, some we're average. The first Sebring test was horrible. I feel like Sonoma was pretty good. I was really happy.
It's hard because the new tires are different than the ones I've been used to the last three years. I'm starting to get it, but the problem is I don't get to put it all together.
If you look at my laps, if you put my fast three laps together, everything is there, it's just a matter of putting it together in a lap. I think it's just experience.
I feel like we gaining on it. I think I drive the car a little bit different than the other two. I think Helio drives a little bit more like me. Will just got used to driving the car in an awkward way to be quick. We're just trying to make the car drive a little better.
You're always on the limit, but to be more comfortable at the limit. So we'll see.
THE MODERATOR: We'll open it up for questions.
Q. Juan, how odd does it feel to you when you see a red car now on the track? Does it feel odd?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: It's kind of weird. I mean, a lot of the mechanics worked with me at the 24 Hours, especially when I was in the 02 car, it was all the Indy crew. It's okay. They're good people. That's it.
Q. You're rivals now.
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: Right now I'm my biggest rival.
Q. Why?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: Because I feel like I got to do a job, push myself. It's good to have a guy like Will on the team that's really quick and gets the job done. Helio has a lot of experience.
If I have my experience plus what they do, I think it's pretty good. I felt like I brought a few things to the team already to make the cars better. We've gotten a little bit better, so I'm pretty happy. No complaints.
Q. Can you reflect a little bit on the NASCAR journey? What are your thoughts with Speedweeks going on? Does it feel odd at all that you're not there? Do you feel like you're where you belong?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: It's a feeling that I wasn't missing it probably. It was weird actually. A month ago when they did their first set, I was with my son racing at Homestead. I got a text from Chevy, We're missing you. I'm like, Why are you missing me (laughter)?
I had no idea they were even testing. It's nice to do what I'm doing right now. I feel really happy. I'm really excited to be part of Team Penske. It's a tough challenge ahead of me. I know that.
It seems weird because it seems like race speed is really good when we're in race trim. Our pace is really good. I was telling my guys, like my race engineer, If you really look at it, even on new tires, I'm not missing corners. There's a lot of room there for improvement and I know that. It's not bad. It's a process, I guess, I hope.
Q. You were talking about it being a difficult challenge. Obviously it was a difficult challenge when you moved over to NASCAR.
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: It's completely different. The NASCAR one was one that it was like, Where the hell am I? The cars were very different. There was a lot of movement. This is the opposite because in NASCAR the limit of the car is very easy. You can get to the limit of the car very easy. The big thing is you're driving it too hard. In IndyCar, you can't drive it hard enough, or at least I can't yet. I'm leaving a lot on the table. I think that's the biggest thing.
Q. Having been successful in virtually every motorsports field you have taken part in, how do you look back and judge NASCAR?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: When we had good cars, we did good. When we had bad cars, we did bad. I think as a team we threw a lot of races away. It's part of the thing you always do.
The point is when you're winning races, you throw a lot away and you still win a few. When you're not winning races, you notice the things you throw away. I think that's the biggest difference.
The focus for me now is IndyCar 100%. I'm pumped about it. I feel like a complete rookie right now, so it's pretty cool.
Q. Kurt Busch is talking about wanting to come and do the Indy 500. For somebody who has your experience in open-wheel, trying to get up to speed from that point, after running NASCAR to now, how difficult do you think it's going to be for him to jump in there for the month of May and get the job done?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: I think the configuration, the low downforce configuration of these cars, it's not too bad. I haven't driven around Indy. But like Fontana, I was up to speed in five laps. When I went to Phoenix, it took me half a day to get up to speed, it really did.
It's hard because, Helio went out, ran wide open. You think, It's wide open. Your brain says it's wide open, but your body says, Hell no! You're going into turn one wide open, you say, No, not happening.
It's hard to get comfortable. Three and four wasn't so bad in Phoenix. One and two were hard. That's the high downforce. The high downforce, it's just a matter of learning how far you can go with the car.
Low downforce, I think anybody would get used to it a lot easier.
Q. Roger said with the right funding, he'd like to see you run the Brickyard 400. Is that something else you want to do? A fan on Twitter wants to know if you have any interest in running the NASCAR road courses as well?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: I think the Brickyard would be a good thing. I've been so close so many times, it would be a good way of closing that chapter with a good win there. I know Roger hasn't won there. If we could get the opportunity to do it, I think it would be pretty cool.
Q. Juan, comparing the IndyCars that you drove previously, what are the biggest changes you have noted?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: The biggest thing is braking. The braking is unbelievable. Used to have a lot more power. But the initial acceleration is very similar. It's when you go through the gears...
The braking in the corners, it's unbelievable. The grip level of these cars, it's like an eye-opening, to be honest.
Q. Would you have thought a couple years ago that you would ever be returning?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: At that point, no, because I felt comfortable with what I was doing and everything. But if I look back at everything I've done, the most fun and best racing I've done in my career, it's been in IndyCar.
This was the perfect time to do it. I felt like two years from now, wouldn't be able to do it. Timing-wise, it was ideal. So we'll see.
Q. Are you surprised that you haven't just jumped back into the IndyCar and it's like riding a bike again?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: No, no. I mean, the speed was there right away. Once I pushed the car, the speed was there. The problem is, if you try to be too greedy too early, let's say we got to Sonoma and I tried really early to push really hard, throw the car off, you spend the rest of the day repairing the car, you don't learn anything.
Laps I think are very important at this point.
Q. You said you want to go back to IndyCar because you want to win again.
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: Yeah.
Q. If it takes you time to win...
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: It's going to take me time to win. How much time, I don't know. I'm not expecting to go out the first race and win to be honest. I have to understand strategies and everything.
If the team does a good job of that, it's good. There's a lot of things with saving fuel. There's a lot of strategy that goes in that that I know of, but I haven't experienced it.
Q. Your reputation and legacy being what it is, is the expectation and the pressure on you to be good immediately, to turn this series upside down quickly?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: My expectations?
Q. Not for yourself, from the outside.
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: I don't care what the outside thinks. I really don't. I put myself enough pressure to perform and do whatever it takes to get it done. I probably put more pressure on myself than anybody else.
For me, it's all about winning. You know me, I never really care what people think of me. I care what I think of me. I know when I do a good job and a bad job.
I feel I've done a really good job with the IndyCar so far, that I've done a good job getting up to speed.
It's funny because a lot of it is, let's say you run through the day, at the end of the day you look at the data, you look at what Will or Helio are doing, Oh, I got to do that. I go out there and just do it.
That's going back to, okay, you could probably run wide open through here, nobody done it. If I tried and get it wrong, then I throw away half a day of testing.
I'd rather look at what they're doing, copy what they're doing. Then they do something different again. You go, Oh, next time I got to try this. It's just a matter of doing that.
Q. Roger told us after the Sebring test it seemed you struggled, at least on paper. He said everything was going to be fine, that your biggest concern was getting him in the black pants. Is that accurate (laughter)?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: The first Sebring test was a struggle. It was a struggle for all of us. The new motors, the old motors. It's hard to judge how far behind are you. You say, I did that corner great. Coming down the straight, Oh, there you go.
At this point it's been tough to really compare and know.
I would say, looking at Sonoma data after the test, I felt I could have been a little quicker than Helio. If I would put a lot together, I would be a 10th or two behind Will. I know there's still a lot of work to do, but it's not like, He's so much better everywhere.
It's just two corners. One of them, I screw up. Like I went in, got a huge moment. I know I can do that. The other one was like, Wow!
The good thing with me, when I go, Oh, wow, I just go and try it. I always have had the attitude, if somebody can do it, it can be done. What the heck, give it a try.
Q. Are you wearing the black pants now?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: Absolutely. Proudly. I told them today actually white shirt, the Verizon white shirt looks better than the black shirt. But they say, White shirt is management. Again, I'm not management, I'm just a driver. Black shirt for me (laughter).
Q. How familiar are you with the St. Petersburg track? What are your thoughts on it?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: I've seen about a hundred videos of it. I watched the races. I will start watching the races again just to figure out how to drive the car, see what they do and stuff.
That's one of the hardest challenges, the first time on a street course, St. Petersburg. I think it's going to be eye-opening. I think it's going to be a slow-building weekend, getting comfortable in the car.
It's something I've been getting better at, work on the car. Going fast, it's easier. If you're not comfortable in the car, first of all the chances of getting it wrong are big and you're never going to be good enough.
I've been working hard on things that I like about the cars, things I don't like about the cars. Setup-wise we're a little different at the moment.
Q. Given the fact you've had so much success throughout your career, but also you're kind of a rookie again, what would be a successful season for you?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: Winning the Indy 500 and fighting for the championship. You would say that would be a good season.
Q. You think those are realistic expectations?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: You look at my oval experience in NASCAR, it's huge. I did ovals before. You have to figure out again in IndyCars what you can do and what you can't do. It will be fine.
Going back to the same thing: if you can get the car to do what you want, you're going to be really competitive. Is it going to be easy? No. If it was easy, anybody would do it.
Q. In the 2000 Indianapolis 500, it was said you weren't impressed with the car. How much have you seen this car evolve?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: This car is more of a CART car than an IndyCar. They're completely different, I think, personally.
Q. Is this a hard car to drive? What makes them different?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: When it's bad, it's a horrible car to drive. When it's good, it's really, really good. When we did the Sebring test, it was awful. My first test was there. My first test I ran half a second quicker than I was running there. I ran a half second quicker without any effort. When we went back, What the heck is wrong with this?
We'll see.
Q. Is there any consideration this year to try to run the Daytona 500 and Indy 500, to be the guy to win them both?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: No, unless Roger asks me.
Q. Have you asked him?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: No. I got enough things going on. No, no, no, no, no (laughter).
Q. What did you think of the pace car fire?
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: Which one?
Q. Not yours.
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA: I'll tell you the truth, I didn't see it. I was in a car. Sebastien was racing. We came back from a dinner. Actually my wife turned it on because she saw a tweet about it. They were interviewing Stewart after the crash. She wanted to watch the race and I fell asleep. I'm not saying I fell asleep because it was boring, I was just tired.

That is exactly the case with organic Yacon syrup which comes from the Yacon root, however. This hearty, well being-supplying vegetation has been developed for centuries, and perhaps far more, within the Andes Mountains of South America. Naturally this is focused on how this vegetation can assist you lose fat.
The Yacon basic syrup distinction is complex but straightforward. The syrup features a quite special taste that has been identified as near those of prunes or raisins. It is possible to consume the syrup with various types of food items which can be accompanied by a sugary flavoring. Naturally this too pertains to popular refreshments like teas as well as gourmet coffee. The best of this is that you won't holder-within the unhealthy calories just like you would with typical sugars.
But let us discuss what Yacon syrup is capable of doing for many who want to shed pounds.
For one thing, the syrup (and Yacon draw out) will increase or enhance the fat burning capacity. Of course all kinds of other goods make the same claim. It occurs via a natural product that is totally safe while being effective. That's the difference here. Yacon enhances fat burning capacity in a roundabout method that has every thing related to germs with your intestinal tract.
Because Yacon syrup is really a powerful method of prebiotic aspect, it presents new daily life for the microorganisms that you would like to obtain in excellent numbers inside your gut. In the event you are not up on gut microorganisms, you will find negative and positive sorts that live inside your GI pathway. Points get all curved in poor condition when you will find also many of the bad form.
One of many systems in which weight-loss happens is through the reduction of ghrelin which is responsible for leading you to experience hunger. Ghrelin peaks before you consume dinner, when you are honestly starving, and lowering it has the obvious impact. If you think about it, That's a pretty powerful Yacon benefit.
Going past that, pure organic and natural Yacon syrup has a most beneficial result on insulin levels. Insulin levels are normalized. That is a way to look at it. And that is certainly fantastic news for individuals that experience sugar spikes as soon as they eat. But that also assumes that glucose will not be eaten in excess. On the other hand, meals weighty in sugars will provide exactly the same effect.
A healthy method to eat this device is in the natural Yacon syrup fluid form. You by no means would like to eat something such as this after it has been extremely enhanced. Fortunately, you will discover highly reliable distributors who sell it off in the unadulterated kind.
Girls can especially make use of Yacon syrup for two motives. Yacon is great for the promotion of healthier bowel motions and relieving the signs of bowel irregularity. It can be known that women normally have this issue over men. Also, more aged ladies have difficulties with calcium levels more than gentlemen. As well as the syrup is fantastic for supporting the absorption and metabolism of calcium supplements. To know where to buy yacon syrup learn from my site.

Presentation: Ukrainian Provisionals 1992 to 1995

This is a 'voiced-over powerpoint' presentation that is about 2½-hours. Each given slide is different in length as the result of content explanation.
Why the Need for these Provisionals? Primary reasons: a) inadequate supply of national issues due to lack of facilities; strategic USSR assets were 'centralized'; thus, no modern and secure mint and print facilities in Ukraine; b) inadequate distribution network to all post offices; system had been Russia-centred for several decades; it now had to be reconfigured to Ukraine; Secondary reasons: c) the need to repatriate what had been a russified system; d) inflation-hyperinflation; at the very first minute of 02 January 1992, Ukrainian denomination was 8-to-1; but on 05 December 1993 it was 12,600-to-1, and by 09 December 1994 110,000-to-1. Yikes, and given this 'trend', there was a dramatic effect on the postal system and all of its 'adjuncts'! However such variables, otherwise deleterious, resulted in an interestingly complex postage system and stamp production routine during this period.

The Ukrainian Museum in New York City is marking two significant chapters in Ukraine's modern history – 25 years since its declaration of independence in 1991 and the approaching centennial of the liberation struggle and short-lived independence in the early 20th century – with two parallel exhibitions.
In Metal, On Paper: Coins, Banknotes, and Postage Stamps of Independent Ukraine, 1991-2016 is curated by Yuri Savchuk, Ph.D., senior research associate at the Institute of History of Ukraine, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The Ukrainian Museum organized this exhibition in partnership with the National Bank of Ukraine, Ukrposhta and the Institute of History of Ukraine.
Money, Sovereignty and Power: The Paper Currency of Revolutionary Ukraine, 1917-1920 is curated by Bohdan Kordan, professor and director of the Prairie Center for the Study of Ukrainian Heritage (PCUH) at St. Thomas More College, University of Saskatchewan. This traveling exhibition was organized by PCUH in cooperation with the Ukrainian Museum of Canada.
The exhibitions will be open to the public from September 11 through November 27.
Ukraine's Provisional Kyiv-Lviv-Chernihiv

Provisionals were a way that Ukraine supplemented an inadequate supply of national issues during 1992-1994. All of the provisionals stamp sets were in fact created locally (oblast, city). However, three of the overprinted sets achieved 'national status' almost as soon as they were issued, these being overprints of Kyiv, Lviv, and Chernihiv, aka the KLCs.
When Canadian Member of Parliament Borys Wrzesnewskyj attended Ukrainpex 2007, he indicated that he was involved with Kyiv's Borysfen print shop. The Borysfen print shop in 1992 was responsible for the completion of the original overprinted sets for Kyiv, Lviv, and Chernihiv. The presses originally came from Canada and Wrzesnewskyj had made videos of the journey to get them into Ukraine. There they were first used in their Kyiv 'underground' bunker to produce Ukrainian pro-independence and pro-democracy leaflets and posters. As it turns out, the naming of the print shop is attributed to the mother of the young man doing the overprints, being a "fan" or as they say in Ukraine "fen" of Borys.

India Is Living Up to Its Promise
The usual discordant noises are coming out of India. Investors are getting nervous about the impact of high-priced oil on the economy: The Bombay index is off 3% so far this year. The opposition is assailing the ruling BJP's budget for its attempt to rein in subsidies. Farmers are praying for a better monsoon. Poor rains last year kept GDP growth to 4.4%, well below archrival China's 7.8%.
Yet talk to managers in India's corporate sector, and you actually hear hope in their voices. Amit Kalyani, 27, chief technology officer of Bharat Forge and the grandson of the listed company's founder, says the company's main problem these days is "how to manage growth." The maker of car and truck components has just come out of a three-year restructuring that cut the workforce by 35% and tapped new technology to increase efficiency and launch new products. Sales, at $128 million, are up 12% from three years ago, profits are surging, and the company has paid off a big chunk of its debt. Today, Bharat Forge has cemented its position as one of the world's largest axle-component manufacturers, with a 50% market share in the U.S.
Is India the next growth story? It's hard to believe, given the many false dawns the country has seen. Inflexible labor laws, government red tape and venality, decrepit infrastructure and the special interests of the license Raj -- they're all still there, conspiring to thwart a real transformation of the economy. "The losers -- some of the protected businesses, politicians, and bureaucrats -- can still hold up the system and slow down progress," notes economist Surjit Bhalla, a government adviser who manages the New Delhi-based Oxus Fund.
But there are enough signs to fuel tempered optimism. Vivek Paul, vice-chairman of Wipro Ltd., one of India's top software companies, ticks off some of the reasons: lower tariffs that force local industries to be more competitive, deregulation that drives costs down, the rapid expansion of the service sector, and the effects of better education. "If you look at the macroeconomic pieces falling into place," says Paul, "you'd say India was getting ready for takeoff." Indeed, the economy is expected to grow a healthy 6% this year.
Paul thinks India should focus on service industries like software and technical support. Yet even in manufacturing, signs of excellence are emerging. This is surprising given the magnitude of the "China shock" -- the flood of cheap Chinese goods that hammered local Indian companies when tariff barriers came down. In response, however, Indian managers have refurbished factories, cut bloated workforces, and installed modern financial systems. Half a dozen investment-banking analysts have lately lauded India for its new manufacturing prowess.
One standout in the steel industry is Tata Steel, or Tisco. Once a global laggard, Tisco was motivated to reform in the early 1990s when India's economic liberalization and international free-trade agreements pushed tariffs on imported steel down from 80% to 25%. As a result, since 1995 Tisco has slashed its 78,000 workforce by half, spent $1.8 billion modernizing its plant, and moved into higher-value-added products such as steel used for cars. Productivity doubled, and exports, aided by firmer steel prices, have zoomed to $250 million, or 15% of production. Revenues are up from $1.55 billion in 1997-98 to an expected $1.88 billion this year. "We had to change or go under," says Tata Steel Director Ishaat Hussain.
The biggest obstacle in the way of making Indian industry competitive has for decades been the government -- with its complacency, corruption, and myriad rules and restrictions. Tata Steel, for instance, until recent years could not manufacture or export a single sheet of steel without government permission. Many industries' products had government-set prices, and the textile industry was decimated by rigid labor rules.
This time around, can Delhi actually make growth possible? It won't in the near future forsake subsidies, and the temptation to bail out key companies will remain strong. But some government-led actions are working. The turnaround at Bharat Forge, for instance, has been helped immensely by the opening of a new, eight-lane expressway between Bombay and Pune that has chopped in half the time it takes to get axles to the Bombay port for export. Delhi is also funding a $2 billion upgrade of its rail system, including construction of a new subway for the capital itself. The payoff in increased growth from all these projects could be huge.
Other investor-friendly policies have been helping. The key, says economist Bhalla, has been a big drop in corporate interest rates, to about 10%, making credit more affordable. And last November, a law was passed allowing banks to foreclose on companies that had stopped paying their debts, freeing resources for viable businesses. A day after the act was passed, ICICI Bank moved to attach the assets of Mardia Chemicals Ltd., which owed it $65 million. It was followed by dozens of other foreclosures. Now, says Deutsche Bank economist Sanjeev Sanyal, "India has one of the most stringent creditor rights in Asia, and banks will start lending to entrepreneurs again."
One important reason India's industry is more competitive is the rising level of education. According to a 2000 report by India's Planning Commission, Indians today have an average of five years more schooling than they did 20 years ago, with almost universal primary education and 80% of the population receiving some secondary schooling. Educated young Indians are landing jobs at such places as international call centers, whose workforce has risen from 12,000 to 54,000 in just three years. "With manufacturing and services expanding even in ru-ral areas, the opportunities for jobs beyond tilling the land are greater now," says Pronab Sen of the Planning Commission.
A crucial government program is the privatization of state-owned corporations and public facilities, a process that attracts new capital to businesses that desperately need new management. The current privatization minister, Arun Shourie, is admired for his probity, and he has a lot on his plate. This year, giant state-owned oil refiner Hindustan Petroleum will, at last, go on the block. Twenty-four of the country's 175 long-neglected ports are up for sale. Britain's P&O Group has already bought a container terminal and built a second. Airports are another priority. Tech centers such as Hyderabad and Bangalore will soon have new private airports, while the government is going to begin a massive upgrade of the New Delhi and Bombay international airports.
It's hardly guaranteed, of course, that all these ambitious programs will come off as planned. Battles over airport projects and privatization have raged in India for years. The vested interests have clout. But bit by bit India may get the growth story it deserves.

Range Resources Textual Analysis Part 2 - Keep selling
I noted earlier today how the way that AIM listed penny share oil explorer Range Resources (RRL) communicates with its investors is very odd indeed. My attention is now drawn to the way it has communicated with its investors over it operations in the Islamofascist hell hole that is Puntland.

>Technical Support>How to delete many workouts at a time?
I realized that I have imported ALL the workouts on my Garmin - even those belonging to the previous owner ... is there a way to delete many workouts at a time? just looking at the workout summary, based on the pace, I can tell which workouts were definitely not mine .... there are some that I will need to cross match with my paper log ...
I can help you delete workouts if you provide me with a date range. That means everything within this range will be deleted. Currently, there is no way to specify which workouts for bulk delete.
Ok thanks for the quick reply, I will just try to work through them a few at a time. Thanks!

BBC Sport - America's Cup: Sir Ben Ainslie looks to base team in south of England
Ainslie looks for southern base
- From the section Sailing
Sir Ben Ainslie says he wants to base a British challenge for the oldest and most prestigious prize in sailing in the south of England.
The Lymington yachtsman won the America's Cup as navigator on board the US boat Oracle in San Francisco last year.
And the four-time Olympic gold medallist is putting together a British team to challenge for the cup next time it is contested - which has yet to be decided.
The competition first took place off the Isle of Wight in 1851, but it has never been won by Britain.

Tri-Cities school board candidates should support public education, not snipe from sidelines
The Editor,
Re. "Signs, tweets, talks" (The Tri-City News, Aug. 13).
Being a school trustee is an experience that is rewarding and frustrating in equal measure.
Trustees must answer to provincial government bureaucrats while steering a school system toward meeting the needs of increasingly diverse learners who are real people, not the statistics to which they are reduced by the province.
Victoria downloads costs and workload onto boards of education without a concomitant increase in funding, all the while telling them "the money is the money," leaving school trustees trying to do more with less as costs increase and funding fails to keep pace.
School trustees are also lucky as they have a close-up view of the rich, inspired learning that takes place in local classrooms every day. But that means they see first-hand what we stand to lose as the province continues to underfund — and undermine — public education.
It is heartbreaking.
So why don't trustees speak out more?
Because the provincial government can fire them in an instant, that's why. Or it can send in a superintendent to "monitor" a quarrelsome board.
Nonetheless, the Coquitlam board of education, in publicly opposing the province's actions, has decided that it's more important to speak the truth than preserve their own jobs.
Lately, some school trustee candidates and their supporters have attacked the board for entering into the fray. Their complaint? The board is spending time, money and resources in advocating for students.
I understand that getting elected requires candidates to distinguish themselves from the incumbents. But in choosing to attack the board instead of working with them to marshal community support for public education, candidates are putting crass self-interest over the needs of the very students they say they want to serve.
Instead of sniping from the sidelines at exactly the moment our elected trustees need the most support, let candidates show us what they are made of by organizing in their neighbourhoods and communities in support of our common goals: a quality public education system supported by stable and adequate funding.
Now that would be a real show of leadership.
Debra Burton, Port Coquitlam
Editor's note: Ms. Burton served two terms as a Port Coquitlam school trustee, from 2002 to '08.

It's really not that big of a leap to assume that general "good health" practices adhered to by the average male will also help ensure a healthy sex life. In the case of male sexuality, the phrase "you are what you eat" is taking on a whole new meaning according to new studies which strongly tie heart health and the absence of obesity to the absence of impotence and other similar sexual dysfunctions in men.

This MP3 Player is a really good quality audio player as to be expected from Sony the sound is clear and you can alter the volume, to get a pretty loud volume. Bad for the eardrums, good if you're in a noisy place!
The sports feature on the MP3 is great as you can measure your steps distance and calories which can be a real motivator as it makes you want to push it that bit further. It also comes with an arm strap making it perfect for jogging or going to the gym. The MP3 is also water resistance so no worries of it getting damaged round the pool on holiday!
The MP3 is 512MB but using the software its possible to get nearly 1GB's worth of music on the MP3 player. The software can be a little bit ackward if installed on two PC's with different music collections; it can be difficult to delete tracks from the library. Also the music organisation always seems to default to Album no matter how many times I set it to Artist although this is no major issue. Overall this is a really good value for money MP3 player with great sound quality. It is a really functional MP3 player for someone active but great for everyone.

In 2013, French producer Yuksek started up his own record label called Partyfine, and this week he is releasing the label's first compilation album, featuring a stack of artists now under his wing.
Villa, The Alexanders and Clarens all make an appearance, and there's even a few tracks from the man himself, including a couple from one of his other projects, Peter & The Magician.
Last week we asked Yuksek what inspired him to start making music.
The first CD I bought with my own money was De La Soul '3 Feet High and Rising.'
I was deep into skateboard culture back then, and there were two music genres, and two behaviours crossing each other in the skateparks and on the videos; cool hip-hop vs grunge. Like many of us, I was on the both sides, but this album is still one of the ones I listen to. I like hip-hop but dislike this ghetto-bitch-money-gun spirit and De La Soul has always been on the bright side with guys like Beastie Boys, LL Cool J and a few others. I think those guys are clever, which maybe makes the difference.
My favourite song of the record is without a doubt 'The Magic Number,' but the album has to be heard as a concept, something that only a few artists did on that scene. The cover itself does the job, it's really original and different from what was the norm those days. I can call this album sweet-revolutionary!
Here is De La Soul with 'The Magic Number'
And here we have a sampler of Yuksek's compilation album, Partyfine Vol.1
Partyfine Vol.1 is available now from iTunes.

Online Extra: Goodbye, "Guru of Fun"
In the wild and woolly days of the dot-com craze, "gladiators" and "crusaders" lorded over PeopleSupport's customer service reps, who handled call-center work for the Westwood (Calif.) company's clients. The fledgling company came up with the fanciful job titles as a way to lure prospective employees in a tight labor market. "Customer care manager" and "production supervisor?" BORRRRING. Even the marketing coordinator at PeopleSupport, which handles customer service over the phone and Web for companies including Liz Claiborne and VeriSign, rechristened herself: She became a "marketing mechanic."
"Everyone was creating new titles in Internet-speak," says Amy Berkus, a PeopleSupport spokeswoman. "We wanted titles that conveyed team spirit and a fun atmosphere. A lot of our clients were dot-coms and it just fit the time."
The time is up, evidently. The catchier titles have disappeared at the 550-employee company, along with most of its dot-com clients -- such as online retailer eToys and sports-oriented Web site eFanShop.com. Yesteryear's gladiators are now customer service managers. Crusaders? They're plain old production supervisors once again.
"NO TRANSLATION NECESSARY." The linguistic backpedaling is an effort to impress PeopleSupport's new client base -- larger, better-established companies. "I think the [traditional] titles lend themselves more to the image of a stable company that is driving toward profitability," Berkus says. "When we're talking to our clients, it is easier to refer to a production supervisor than to a crusader. No translation necessary."
In less time than it takes to say dot-com crash, many of the flashy job titles -- remember "chief morale officer" and "guru of fun?" -- that popped up on cubicle nameplates from Silicon Valley to Silicon Alley have gone the way of fins on cars, says Eric Lane, who is still "chief talent strategist" at Icarian, a Sunnyvale (Calif.) workforce planning company. "They're icons of a bygone era," he says.
And of a spendthrift culture, born of easy venture and IPO money, that any serious, profit-minded company wants to leave behind. "I think 'guru of fun'" was fine for circa '98, circa '99, and circa 2000, but I don't think it works for 2001," says Michael Krauss, interactive columnist for the American Marketing Assn.'s trade publication Marketing News and a partner at DiamondCluster, a business strategy and technology consulting firm.
NEW WORKPLACE ORDER. No scientific studies track the demise of these flip, if creative, professional designations. But Marc Lewis, managing director of executive recruiter Christian & Timbers' technology and venture practice, estimates more than 100 job titles that emerged in recent years have become roadkill in the wake of the dot-com crash. "Ninety percent of the unusual titles were clearly just fringe titles created by single companies for their own purposes," he says. "As the market has cooled, the interest in creative and unusual job titles has diminished."
Actually, more than whimsy was behind many of the whimsical titles. For many a company, renaming a vice-president of marketing "V.P. of Buzz" or dressing up a head of human relations as "chief people officer" was part of an effort to get employees to think differently about their jobs. If the Internet was supposed to revolutionize the way the world did business, then folks involved in the movement had to shake up the traditional order in the workplace, the thinking went.
Khakis and polo shirts supplanted Brooks Brothers suits, cubes replaced offices, and instant messaging trumped memo writing. Just as the French tried briefly to substitute the label "citizen" for the more bourgeois "Monsieur" and "Madame" as part of their revolution, militant dot-commers adopted titles that reflected their Brave New World. "It was a matter of doing away with everything that seemed to reek of the old," says Donna Hoffman, a professor of management at Vanderbilt University's Owen School of Management, who specializes in e-commerce. "The feeling was, 'We're not like dad. We're different. The Internet calls for a different response. We're going to make new rules. We need new titles.'"
JUST ANOTHER PERK. The title tinkering also had a lot to do with finding a way to stand out at a time when the nation's pre-Net-crash unemployment rate hovered around 4%. A funky title was another bonus in a basket of dot-com perks that included stock options and free access to vending machines. Working stiffs who had been minnows at Microsoft or Goldman Sachs could jump to dot-coms as big fish. "The explosion in creative titles was tied to the ego requirements of people who wanted to be chief," Lewis says. "Everyone wanted to be a general with an army."
Problem was, of course, that many of these New Economy generals didn't know how to do battle in the marketplace. "They ran their companies into the ground," says Vanderbilt's Hoffman. At least 555 Internet companies have gone to their graves since January, 2000, with 330 of those deaths occurring in the first half of this year alone, according to research firm Webmergers.com. Many of their job titles were buried with them.
None have been quicker to leave cutesy behind than executives, who suddenly want to be taken seriously. "Chief evangelist," a title adopted by vice-presidents of corporate marketing, sounds a little embarrassing now that the Internet has failed to become the business messiah it was hyped to be, Lewis says. Likewise, "chief revenue officer" has devolved into vice-president or executive v-p of sales, Lewis says.
NO REQUESTS. When they list job experience on their resumes, executives are translating far-out titles into Old Economy language, Lewis adds. In a tightening job market, "employers want an easy way to compare jobs in the marketplace and to figure out what the salary should be," says David Van DeVoort of human resources consulting firm William M. Mercer, who works with information technology companies.
Other job titles are on the outs simply because the functions they connoted are no longer in demand. Consider "v-p of content." When money was pouring into consumer Web sites in the Net's early days, says Ted Martin, chief executive of Chicago-based headhunter Martin Partners, he was recruiting as many as two such execs a month. This year, he has had no requests to fill the position, which used to come with an annual salary as high as $200,000.
Of course, not all job titles will be thrown out with the Net's bathwater. "Webmaster" is likely to stick, since companies are still going to need someone to run their Web sites. "It still sounds respectable," says Peter Cohan, president of Peter S. Cohan & Associates, an Internet strategy consulting firm in Marlborough, Mass.
WHAT BACKLASH? Another survivor may be "head of business development" or "v-p of biz dev," a nebulous title that generally involves sales and marketing functions, with an emphasis on finding partnerships and alliances. The post became a key one at dot-coms as they sought to forge links with bigger, name-brand organizations to gain legitimacy. Demand for biz dev professionals has dropped off, but "it's a very real job," says Van DeVoort. "I just haven't seen that title cross my desk in the past six months."
Some companies, of course, are choosing to ignore the title backlash. In San Francisco, Roya Zamanzadeh, a founder of the profitable Web site design company Pear Transmedia, is still "curator of the enlightened orchard." Says Zamanzadeh of the 15-person company: "We operate mostly like a collective. I wanted to come up with a title that that reflects that." But Zamanzadeh is quick to point out that her title's acronym spells CEO. "I didn't want to scare off the Old School," she says.
One possible downside of the return to the Old School way of titling employees, Van deVoort says, is that with fewer titles to go around, employees may revert to anguishing over where they sit on the corporate totem pole: Are they a senior manager or associate director? Executive director or vice-president? For better or worse, companies tie all sorts of benefits to titles, including stock options, corner offices, and parking spots, Van deVoort adds. Your title can even determine whether your wastebasket is made of metal or wood.
"Just a year ago, the New Economy was about not focusing on your title so much as what you did," Van DeVoort says. "But now, we're moving back to a more traditional structure." And if there are no more "gurus of fun?" Given what has happened to dot-coms lately, they probably wouldn't have much to do anyway.

Simon Cowell: Cowell's bathroom intruder
March 27, 2012 by staff
Simon Cowell: Cowell's bathroom intruder, A WOMAN has appeared in a London court, accused of breaking into music mogul Simon Cowell's house wielding a broken brick and hiding in the entertainment mogul's wardrobe.
Leanne Zaloumis, 29, was charged with aggravated burglary after the incident on Saturday night.
Prosecutors said Cowell was watching TV in the bedroom of his London mansion when he heard a loud bang coming from his bathroom. He discovered Zaloumis inside holding the brick.
Cowell's security staff confined the intruder to a bedroom until police arrived and found her in the wardrobe.
Prosecutor Paul Mitchell said police officers drew their weapons as they arrested Zaloumis, and later found blood stains in the bathroom.
The charge, read out in court, alleges that Zaloumis intended to "inflict grievous bodily harm upon a person therein and at the time of committing the said burglary had with you a weapon of offence, namely a broken house brick".

Glassport man charged with arson
Allegheny County police have charged a Glassport man in connection with a Thursday night fire in the borough.
David Dolton, 53, of Glassport was arrested Friday on arson charges stemming from a blaze at the former Chuck's Hub Caps along the 700 block of Monongahela Avenue.
According to police reports, investigators used surveillance videos from cameras near the fire scene to identify Dolton.
No one was injured in the blaze though residents in neighboring apartment units were displaced from their homes for about an hour while the fire was brought under control.
Allegheny County fire investigators and borough police and fire departments worked together to make the arrest.
Glassport fire Chief Wayne Lewis said the charges were the result of "a joint investigation that was done rapidly."
Dolton is charged with six counts of arson and single counts of causing or risking a catastrophe and criminal mischief. He is being held in Allegheny County Jail on $10,000 bail.
Dolton's preliminary hearing is set for Feb. 11 at 1 p.m. in Glassport.

London - British boxers Carl Froch and George Groves were given a taste of the atmosphere they can expect in their super-middleweight world title rematch when an estimated 7 000 raucous fans turned out just to watch their weigh-in on Friday.
Both fighters made weight, with WBA and IBF champion Froch weighing 167 pounds, 9 ounces - just over a pound heavier than the challenger.
Groves appeared the calmer in a face-off that took place inside a circle of bodyguards from both camps, grinning and shaking his head as Froch chatted in his ear.
"He was talking, talking, talking - he is grasping for something," Groves said. "He needs reassurance."
The weigh-in took place at London's Wembley Arena, adjacent to Wembley Stadium where about 80 000 spectators - a British record for a fight -will watch Saturday's bout, billed as one of the biggest ever in the country. Froch won the first fight in November, despite being knocked down in the first round.
"The weigh-in was bigger than most fights," said the 36-year-old Froch, who was booed by sections of the crowd. Groves is from London and is likely to be the fan favorite Saturday.
Froch said his rival has missed his best chance to capture the two belts, with Groves having dominated most of the first fight before it was stopped in the ninth round.
"Last time I got sidetracked, I wasn't even at the races," he said. "You're going to see a different Carl Froch. You're going to see me at my best."

"We added mushrooms, but I would also decrease the amount of orange juice concentrate because it had a bit of a tang to it."

THE state government spent $20 million in one year recruiting external staff for its Education Department, while preparing to slash hundreds of permanent jobs to make savings.
Documents obtained under freedom-of-information laws reveal that in the past financial year nine employment agencies were paid to find temporary contract staff to work in the bureaucracy.
But the expenditure is sensitive for the government, which is not only axing 400 department workers in a bid to reduce the public service, but has also stripped hundreds of millions of dollars in funding from TAFEs and schools since coming to office.
"In the context of the Baillieu government's failure in disability education, cuts to the education maintenance allowance for needy families, and cuts to TAFE, this splurging of over $20 million on external agency staff shows just how twisted this government's priorities are,'' said Labor's education parliamentary secretary, Colin Brooks, who obtained the FOI documents. Education Minister Martin Dixon defended the costs, saying massive savings had been made across his department compared to when Labor was in office.
''Mr Brooks is being deceptive,'' the minister's spokesman, James Martin, said.
"What he doesn't want anyone to see is that under Labor [in office until the November 2010 state election] the amount of money paid to agencies to engage contract and permanent staff was much higher, with $36.6 million being paid to agencies in 2010-11."
The documents show that of the $20 million spent on employment agency costs last year, almost $10 million was paid to recruitment firm Hays Personnel Services; $6.2 million went to Clicks Recruit Australia; and $1.5 million went to Hudson Global Resources.
The spending comes as the government slashes 4200 jobs in the public service over the next two years, in a bid to pay for infrastructure and protect the budget from future economic shocks.
