According to The Hollywood Reporter, Smith will play the rebellious Jacob, the 8-year-old stepson of scientist Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly) who first makes contact with the humanoid alien Klaatu (Keanu Reeves). Kathy Bates and Golden Globe winner Jon Hamm also star.
Scott Derrickson is directing the contemporary reinvention of the 1951 Fox classic being produced by Erwin Stoff, Gregory Goodman and Paul Boardman. It is filming in Vancouver.
David Scarpa wrote the screenplay about Klaatu's arrival on Earth that triggers a global upheaval as governments and scientists race to unravel the mystery behind his appearance.
Smith's Jacob and stepmother Helen get caught up in Klaatu's mission, coming to understand the ramifications of his being a self-described "friend to the Earth."

The update he had to share that piqued our interest concerned Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans, shooting shortly under the eye of FX artist-cum-director Patrick Tatopoulos.
"It's a theatrical release definitely," Rosenberg tells the site. "I feel great about that. I think it's the strongest story that we've put together of the three. I think it's really terrific. I think it leads to a 4th. When we did the 1st 'Underworld,' we imagined three - the 1st one, a sequel and then a prequel. The 3rd is a prequel, so the 4th would carry on where Kate and Scott Speedman left off after 2, so I think this is going to be terrific really this one." As for the prequel's storyline: "This is how they meet and Michael Sheen becomes the leader of the werewolves. This is told from the werewolf's perspective, not the vampire's. It's their story and their battle with Victor."
After a prequel, we're curious if audiences will even care to return to Selene and Michael's story

Originally posted by Inactive UserUPDATE: Both Variety and The Hollywood Reporter have confirmed that Warner Bros. Pictures let the options lapse on Tuesday for the cast members, which included D.J. Cotrona, Adam Brody, Anton Yelchin, Common, Teresa Palmer and Megan Gale. The studio cited script issues as the one of the causes and the other is that the project needed tax breaks from shooting in Australia.
According to IESB, this report was indeed accurate. It looks like Warner Bros. Pictures made the decision yesterday to put George Miller's Justice League on hold until the production can do a script rewrite after the writers strike ends. Reports had said the cast was on location and the crew was ready to go if they had been given the green light.
The site says that the production will have to wait until at least June, but if the writers strike (and possible Screen Actors Guild strike) continue for a long time, it could be much later.
Warner Bros. Pictures had yet to officially confirm any cast members for the superhero team-up movie that is expected to include Batman, Superman, The Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and the Green Lantern.

Originally posted by Inactive UserParamount has set Mark Wahlberg to star in and Peter Berg (Hancock, The Kingdom) to direct an untitled film based on the life of international drug dealer Jon Roberts, whose rise and fall was chronicled in the documentary Cocaine Cowboys.
According to Variety, Film 44's Berg and Sarah Aubrey will produce with Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson, both of whom are executive producers of HBO's "Entourage." Roberts' rights are part of the package, and a writer will be set once the strike ends.
After returning from Vietnam as a decorated soldier, Roberts headed to Miami in the late '70s and formed a relationship with the Medellin drug cartel, distributing cocaine worth billions of dollars. Wahlberg will play Roberts, who was turned in by a cohort and served a decade in jail for his crimes.
Originally posted by Inactive UserUK, January 21, 2008 - After Cloverfield's, erm, monstrous opening weekend in the states ($40m to date), you can bet the bean-counters at Paramount are already thinking about sequels.
And it seems that the film's director Matt Reeves is up for the idea, if his comments in an interview with the good people at comingsoon.net are anything to go by.
Here's what he said: (SPOILERS AHEAD) "This was so fun 'cause we'd never done anything like it, and I think we'd want to find a similar challenge, to find a way to have its roots in this but be fresh and new, otherwise you're just repeating yourself."
"There's a moment on the Brooklyn Bridge, and there was a guy filming something on the side of the bridge, and Hud sees him filming and he turns over and he sees the ship that's been capsized and sees the headless Statue of Liberty, and then he turns back and this guy's briefly filming him."
"In my mind that was two movies intersecting for a brief moment, and I thought there was something interesting in the idea that this incident happened and there are so many different points of view, and there are several different movies at least happening that evening and we just saw one piece of another."
"That idea sort of tickled me. We'll have to see if anyone would want a sequel. If the movie does well and we find a compelling reason to do so then it would be fun to do a sequel."
"Did you see the thing in the last shot? In the final shot there's a little something, and I don't wanna say what it is. The final shot before the titles. The stuff at Coney Island, there's a little something there and I don't want to give it away 'cause the fun is sort of to find it, but I will say this: there's a funny thing, you look at the shot and until you see it you don't see it and you really don't see it and obviously you don't 'cause none of you have seen it, but once you see it you'll never stop seeing it."
So another film following the same event from a different point of view? Interesting or just repetitive? And for those who've seen the film, what was "the thing in the final shot"? Your views please!

Originally posted by Inactive UserRelease Date: Summer, 2010 (estimated)
Release Date Notes: (4/19/07) Sony hasn't officially announced any plans for a release date yet, but a summer release is a sure thing, and it will probably be in either 2009 or 2010. With many changes in the cast and crew possible between the third and fourth movie, 2010 seems most likely at this point, unless Sony announces 2009.
Distributor: Columbia Pictures (Sony)
Cast: None announced yet.
Cast Notes: (4/19/07) Currently, no cast members are known to be signed for any 'Spider-Man' projects past Spider-Man 3. The biggest question marks are Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst as Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson, with other cast members possibly more likely to return, depending on the direction that the fourth movie takes.
Director: Not announced yet.
Director Notes: (4/19/07) Although some of the cast members were signed up for three movies, director Sam Raimi has come back to the web-slinger individually each time, so currently, he's not signed to direct this fourth movie. Many projects loom out there as other things he could work on next. An interesting thing to note is that some of the actors have mentioned that their returning also depends upon whether Sam Raimi returns as director. So, if a new director is brought in, that could mean the cast could change drastically.
Screenwriter: David Koepp (Spider-Man, Indiana Jones 4)
Screenwriter Notes: (4/19/07) Sony has hired David Koepp, the writer of the first Spider-Man movie to come back to the franchise to work on this fourth entry.
Based Upon: (4/19/07) This is of course, the fourth movie in the franchise based upon the popular Marvel Comics superhero character, following 2007's Spider-Man 3.
Possible Villains: (4/19/07) Spider-Man has a large rogue's gallery of villains who have yet to be brought to the big screen including Electro, Mysterio, Rhino, the Vulture and many more. Two strong possibilities for this fourth movie are the return of Venom, who is introduced in the second half of Spider-Man 3 and the Lizard (Wikipedia), whose creation has slowly been teased in the second and third movies by the inclusion of Dr. Kurt Connors, as played by Dylan Baker.
Premise: (4/19/07) No details have been revealed yet about what this fourth adventure of Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man, might be about.
Filming: (4/19/07) There is no filming start date for this project, but it is highly unlikely it would be before 2008.

But now that done-deal perception has been shaken by a series of events that have raised legitimate questions about the plan despite near-universal agreement that some kind of corrective action is not only necessary but unavoidable.
Wishful thinking? That point became clear Tuesday when City Council postponed a vote on changes to employee benefits Henry's hand-picked "Fiscal Policy Group" had included in $6.4 million in proposed spending cuts. Many of the would-be changes have already been implemented in the private sector and some government agencies but the Coalition of City Unions believes they should be approved through negotiations, not imposed. So the two sides, which have had since March to work things out but haven't, apparently have three more weeks.
Philosophical differences? Republican Councilmen Russ Jehl and Mitch Harper did the public a service last week by suggesting that the budget could be balanced without the proposed 0.5 percent income tax increase. Few seem to have noticed, however, that their proposal would accept higher property taxes through annexation and an increase in the amount of property taxes the city collects (levy), the impact of which may or may not be offset by higher property values.
Politics? Republican Allen County officials have vocally objected to the fact that City Council could impose an income tax on all county residents – including those who live outside the city and no representation in the debate. On the other hand, the supposedly independent economic development group Greater Fort Wayne Inc. this week supported the fiscal group's plan — in an e-mail that was sent out by the Democratic mayor's office.
Division of powers? The nature of local government has complicated what was already an inherently difficult process. In addition to the "taxation without representation" question noted previously, it's also true that the city would have to share any income tax increase with other governmental units, which is one reason why it is talking about an increase larger than required to meet its own needs. Conversely, annexation would reduce the county's revenues, and a larger city levy would reduce the amount of property taxes available to other governments in Allen County. That's one reason county officials say they and perhaps others should have been included in the fiscal group's discussions from Day One – and they have a point. A more broad-based approach may have yielded more broadly acceptable solutions.
But there's another assumption lurking in the weeds that must be addressed before taxes of any kind go up: The notion that additional savings cannot be found without drastically affecting crucial city services.
Jehl and Harper certainly don't make that assumption and have noted, among other things, that the city has paid more than necessary because of its insistence on adopting higher union wage scales for construction projects costing $350,000 or more under the state's "common wage" law.
But John Crawford, who chairs Council's Finance Committee, said Council will be asking a more fundamental question: What is the minimum level of services Fort Wayne residents expect and are willing to support? In other words, the need for more taxes could be reduced or eliminated if people and politicians are willing to accept less government. "How you get there depends on where you want to go," he said.
In theory, the common-wage issue alone could save millions, but city services are hardly extravagant and, as Greater Fort Wayne Inc. noted this week, the ability to improve roads, parks and other services without going into debt to do it would make the city not only more livable, but more attractive to prospective employers.
An increase in property taxes would affect fewer people; higher income taxes would be spread over a larger area and provide more money for other governments, some of which are also low on cash. I'm not yet convinced either is needed but can at least appreciate the fact that Fort Wayne is engaged in a spirited, intelligent and serious debate about how best to pay for the government its residents demand.
If only it would catch on in Washington.

The Living Room, Channel Ten, 7.30pm
THE Living Room could have been one of those sanitised food-travel-lifestyle shows but with the first season drawing to a close, the program has proved anything but bland. That's partially due to the snappy pace, but mostly thanks to the spirited presenters and a few brave editing decisions. Tonight, lively cook Miguel Maestre creates some wild-looking bruschetta with South Australian olive oil, while vet-cum-travel reporter Chris Brown visits Espiritu Santo, the largest island in Vanuatu. His aim is to escape the resort lifestyle and discover the joys of diving into crystal-clear spring water and indulging in a cup of kava or two. ''No resorts means no swimming pools, no cocktails, no massages and no all-you-can-eat buffets,'' he says, stumbling through jungle. There are a few eye-popping moments - including one, ahem, encounter with a dog's rear end - but some viewers may be left wishing the camera lingered a little longer during those shirtless swimming scenes.
Moone Boy, ABC1, 8pm
FOR a poor, put-down schoolboy growing up in 1980s Ireland, Martin Moone is an upbeat lad. Played by a ruddy-faced David Rawle, he seems impervious to the miseries of bad fashion, terrible weather and chaotic family life, even when caked in pastel make-up. When things get tough, he sets to work - in this case, by following the lead of those tearing down the Berlin Wall and dismantling an obstacle to his own happiness. Joining him on many of these imprudent escapades is Moone's sharp-tongued imaginary friend Sean Murphy, played by the show's creator, Chris O'Dowd (IT Crowd and Bridesmaids). Described as a semi-autobiographical account of O'Dowd's childhood, the family sitcom is an absurd yet affectionate look back at an otherwise pretty dour upbringing. The gags and acting can be obvious, but the fun, quirky moments outweigh the occasional cheesiness.
Neighbours, Channel Eleven, 6.30pm
THERE'S always some suspicious interloper to make life interesting for the good folks of Erinsborough, and tonight is no exception. Having recently separated from her husband, and with an eye on the former partner of her sister, Carmel (Kirsty Child) has decided to stick around Ramsay Street a little longer than expected and start prospecting for love. Teenager Rani (Coco-Jacinta Cherian) is on the verge of exposing her mother's cheating ways, while Toadie (Ryan Moloney) fends off a mate's attempt to cause as much Irish mischief as possible before marriage and fatherhood kicks in. It's hardly ground-breaking television, but why should it be?
JFK - A Homecoming, SBS One, 9.35pm
INTELLECTUALLY gifted, handsome and wealthy, John F. Kennedy captivated the world when he ascended to the US presidency in 1961. When only two years into the job he had already faced the Cuban missile crisis, Kennedy decided to return to his ancestors' Ireland.

Mets grateful to witness Aaron anniversary tribute
ATLANTA -- Every so often, the luck of the schedule affords the Mets opportunities to participate in something unique. So it was Tuesday, when the Mets were bystanders for the Braves' Hank Aaron anniversary celebration at Turner Field.
"One of the top great players that every played the game, and his accomplishments and what he had to go through, certainly we're all honored to be here and be a part of his special night," manager Terry Collins said of Aaron, whom the Braves honored on the 40th anniversary of his record-breaking 715th home run.
"Certainly nobody ever thought it would be broken, I can assure you that," Collins said. "If anybody could do it, certainly Hank Aaron was the right guy in the right place."
Mets outfielder Curtis Granderson considered the celebration fitting for a player who, despite his Hall of Fame achievements, did not always receive as much recognition as Babe Ruth -- the man whose record he broke.
"A lot of people, for whatever reason, don't talk about him as much as some of the other greats to have played the game," Granderson said. "Hopefully he'll continue to build out his legacy."

Tennis elbow I believe is a detached tendon. There is a strap that fits right under your elbow to alleviate it.

When looking at making a .deb, considering working with the debian-perl group (http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/) as we have a group of people who can upload it to the debian repository and try to keep it up-to-date as you release new versions.
I probably will eventually, but wanted to "have a go" for myself first. A friend from Gloucestershire LUG gave a presentation about creating .deb's and uploading them to LaunchPad, and thought this might be a good experiment to see how that works :)

Everything was fine. Rooms were very clean. A lot of very nice bars around. 2 of them at the next corner. Metro within 5 min. Supermarkets within 10 min.
Alessandra è una persona molto disponibile, gentile e discreta. La camera è pulita, dotata di tutti i comfort ed è a 5 minuti dalla metropolitana Marcy avenue. La zona è relativamente tranquilla, con diversi supermercati intorno.
La stanza è piccola ma dotata di tutto il necessario!
La posizione è ottima, c'è vicina una stazione della metro strategica e il quartiere di Wlliamsburg è uno di quelli che ci ha affascinato di più a New York.
Purtroppo non abbiamo conosciuto Alessandra che ho contattato via Wimdu nel momento del bisogno e lei ha sempre risposto molto velocemente e con la massima disponibilità.
Consiglio vivamente di considerare questa stanza per il soggiorno a New York, rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo!
This room was perfect for my husband and I, who were on a budget sightseeing long-weekend in New York. The website undersells it as the room is actually completely private and ensuite, with a shower, and a private balcony which looks out towards Manhattan. Tea, coffee and fridge available. The room was warm despite the cold weather. It was relatively quiet - there was noise from the nearby road but we did not hear any noise from other residents or the street. The nearest Metro into Manhattan is just a few block's walk and took about 10 minutes to get into Manhattan. There are also lots of great restaurants in Williamsburg within easy walking distance.
Posto molto vicino la metro,in una zona non caotica,pulito,caldo ed accogliente, proprietari discreti e disponibilissimi per ogni richiesta o informazione.
Alessandra has been very welcoming, friendly, flexible and helpful. The room is well situated, close to the Subway station. It is not very large but enough for few days in New York and good value for money. The bed is comfortable, and the rest of the room is well organised. Decoration is pretty. The terrasse is amazing and you can have a view (far away in the distance) on the One Wolrd Trade Center. We enjoyed having the breakfast on the terrasse.
Siamo stati a New York 4 GG e abbiamo pernottato in questa stanza con bagno privato.
Massima disponibilità della proprietaria Alessandra, stanza pulita e con un bel terrazzino ad uso privato, che purtroppo non abbiamo sfruttato visto il periodo della nostra visita.
Vicinissimo alla metro, si raggiunge il centro di Manhattan con poche fermate.
Bien chauffé (février), propre et idéalement situé, nous vous recommandons vivement cet appartement.
Une hôte charmante et très sympatique, un quartier populaire et tranquille.
Merci Alessandra !

New love, new do?
Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon, 16, appears to be following in her mother's experimental footsteps, stepping out in N.Y.C. over the weekend with a new emerald-tinted hairdo.
Though her new hue is wild, Lourdes kept the rest of her clothing (including a graphic tee and high-waist jeans) relatively simple. She could pass for any other N.Y.C. teen who had a little fun in the hair dye aisle at the Duane Reade.
PHOTOS: Check out more bold star hair changes here!
Madonna has said she needs to be a tougher parent to her daughter (and business partner — the two launched Material Girl together), but we have a hard time believing that the queen of transformation would object to her kid giving a new haircolor a shot.
Tell us: What do you think of Lourdes's green locks?

Offensive numbers a slight concern for front office
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Even with a handful of games left in Spring Training, the Twins are hoping to see an improvement in the team's offensive output before the start of the regular season.
Coming into Wednesday's game against the Pirates, no Twins player had reached double-digits in RBIs, and only one player (Brandon Waring) had more than one home run.
"We haven't seen anyone offensively put on a show," Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said. "It has been awfully quiet on that side."
Choosing to focus on putting a solid starting rotation together for the 2014 season, the Twins had little luck in acquiring position players during the offseason.
"You'd like to see signs of life to give you a little conviction and belief, even if it is Spring Training," Antony said. "Certain guys need to step forward."
With a heavy dose of left-handers expected to be in the starting lineup come Opening Day, Antony is concerned about how that may affect the team's offensive numbers.
"It is certainly a problem," Antony said. "However, it isn't a huge concern that we are fairly left-handed. We have a lot of lefties and have to learn how to work with that."

LAKEPORT -- The vehicular fratricide case against a Lake County man met a delay Friday.
Dylan Eugene Waters, accused of causing a double-fatal crash north of Lower Lake last summer, was scheduled to have his preliminary hearing next week, but Judge Andrew S. Blum found good cause to grant a defense request to postpone the matter Friday morning at the Lake County Courthouse.
The 27-year-old was ordered to return to court May 21 to schedule a new hearing date.
Waters has been awaiting a preliminary examination since pleading not guilty to vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and other charges Feb. 26.
Authorities allege Waters was under the influence when he caused the crash that killed his older brother, Kenneth Jeffrey Waters, and another passenger, Randy Alton Orange, on Highway 29 near Diener Drive July 3.
Waters has been in custody at the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility since July 26, when he was arrested four days after allegedly leading authorities on a high-speed pursuit in Kelseyville.
In addition to the manslaughter and chase cases, Waters has other criminal matters pending against him, including for an alleged assault in early June and for an alleged home invasion later that month. He denies wrongdoing in those cases as well.

Well then! You'd think after such a recent Guild Wars 2 community projects update it'd be some time before our next installment, but alas! This is one fandom that doesn't rest. Over the course of the past few weeks I've been keeping an eye out and bookmarking any and every site of interest I've come across. The collection's gotten large enough to warrant a new post!
Though i don't normally go for themes, I decided this week we'd focus on tools of the trade. Most of these sites offer interactive apps or functions that allow you to dig through and find exactly what you're looking for; from previewing high level armor, finding those pesky chests, or playing around with possible builds.
If you've thought about needing it, someone has, apparently, already made it happen!
So let's take a look at these gems!
What's new with the Guild Wars 2 community
Guild Wars 2 Spidy (Live trading post listings, statistics, and economic tracker)
Playing the global market in an MMO has always been a fun, albiet risky at times, way to make money. While the in-game economy is still trying to sort itself out a bit, people have been quick to learn a few tactics to get rich fast or take advantage of short-lived market booms. GW2 Spidy is a great site that tracks the flucuations of the economy from item prices, gem exchange rates, and availablity.

ByPeter Nicholas
Back when he was running for president in 2008, Barack Obama hit upon a vivid way to illustrate just how long the race had dragged on. Babies, he would say, had been born and were "walking and talking" since the campaign got underway.
As it happens, 2008 was also the year TransCanada Corp. first submitted an application to build the Keystone XL pipeline running from Canada to the Gulf Coast. In the time it's taken the federal government to review the project, the kids are not only walking and talking — they're reading and writing.
Last Friday came the news that the Obama administration had delayed the Keystone application yet again. As the reason, the State Department cited litigation in Nebraska over a law that allowed the pipeline through the state as it carries more than 700,000 barrels of oil a day from Canada to the refineries on the Gulf Coast.
What this means is the administration likely won't decide Keystone's fate until the midterm elections have come and gone.
That's by no means a bad outcome for Democrats. In many ways, it is the best possible outcome in a tough political environment. For the Obama administration, making an up-or-down decision before November invites trouble. Approve the pipeline and Mr. Obama alienates the Democratic base: the activists, environmentalists and liberal donors needed to boost turnout and keep the Senate under Democratic control.
Reject Keystone and he damages the re-election chances of a handful of red-state Democratic senators like Mary Landrieu of Louisiana. Voters might wonder why they need a Landrieu in office if she can't push Mr. Obama to green-light a project that promises jobs and revenue for her home state.
By contrast, a delay has little downside. Democratic campaign operatives have made clear they're pleased that a Keystone ruling isn't coming any time soon.
"This allows Democratic incumbents running for the Senate who support Keystone to highlight the differences they have with both the president and the party," said a national Democratic strategist. "In that sense, it's a positive for us."
Mr. Obama, of course, has a keen interest in the midterms. Last week he took part in an unpublicized meeting at the White House with his pollster, Joel Benenson, former campaign adviser Larry Grisolano and others, according to a person familiar with the meeting. Topics included the midterm elections, this person said.[wsj-responsive-more-in tag="Keystone XL Pipeline" category="" ]
The White House has downplayed its own role in the Keystone review process, noting that the State Department is running the review, in keeping with an executive order that gives State a lead role because the pipeline crosses an international border.
"The president has been consistent in always wanting the process to be conducted on the merits…," White House spokesman Jay Carney said in a briefing this week.
When the delay was announced, Republicans accused the White House of playing politics with the decision. But others point to a different issue that often gets lost in the Keystone fight: Government's ability to settle regulatory matters in timely fashion.
"I don't think it surprises anyone that this is a political decision," said Jason Grumet, president of the Bipartisan Policy Center, a think tank. "I think it raises the question of how good we are at making political decisions."

School and Workplace Planning
make a plan || deciding to stay or go || school and workplace || neighborhoods and apartments || in a high rise || in a moving vehicle
Like individuals and families, schools, daycare providers, workplaces, neighborhoods and apartment buildings should all have site-specific emergency plans.
Ask about plans at the places where your family spends the most time: work, school and other places you frequent. If none exist, consider volunteering to help develop one. You will be better prepared to safely reunite your family and loved ones during an emergency if you think ahead, and communicate with others in advance.
For more information on working together, visit the Fairfax County Citizen Corps website.
Schools and Daycare
If you are a parent, or guardian of an elderly or disabled adult, make sure schools and daycare providers have emergency response plans.
Visit Fairfax County Public Schools or Ready Kids for more information.
- Ask how they will communicate with families during a crisis.
- Ask if they store adequate food, water and other basic supplies.
- Find out if they are prepared to "shelter-in-place" if need be, and where they plan to go if they must get away.
If you are an employer, make sure your workplace has a building evacuation plan that is regularly practiced.
Visit Ready Business for more information.
- Take a critical look at your heating, ventilation and air conditioning system to determine if it is secure or if it could feasibly be upgraded to better filter potential contaminants, and be sure you know how to turn it off if you need to.
- Think about what to do if your employees can't go home.
- Make sure you have appropriate supplies on hand.
- Read more about assembling a kit and staying put.

Though I consider myself patriotic, I'm not a big fan of celebrating the Fourth of July with fireworks. Why? It's simple really: I just don't find the damage they do -- 9,600 injuries, 17,800 reported fires and who knows how many close calls and nonreported trauma to adults, children and pets in 2011 alone -- to be worth a few cheap thrills.
That said, I'm reconciled to the fact that each July 4, most of us will be subjected to what some regard as a thrilling personal celebration of patriotic fervor.
We like that boom boom pow
Just four states (Delaware, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York) have banned fireworks outright and another four (Illinois, Iowa, Ohio and Vermont) have limited them to sparklers and novelties, according to the American Pyrotechnics Association.
Though numerous cities and counties have followed suit, enforcement remains spotty while public enthusiasm for the annual spectacle continues to flourish. U.S. Census figures show that we manufacture $232 million in fireworks each year and import an additional $190 million in flying, exploding, searing fun. So clearly, we're going to have fireworks on the Fourth of July, like it or not, legal or not.
Safety first on the Fourth
How can you keep this patriotic tradition from escalating into a home insurance claim or a visit to the ER? Before you light a fuse, keep in mind these safety tips from the Ohio Insurance Institute:
- Buy fireworks from reliable vendors. Never experiment and make your own.
- Use fireworks outdoors only, and always have water handy (a garden hose and a bucket).
- Light only one firework at a time.
- Wear eye protection.
- Never shoot fireworks in metal or glass containers.
- Never throw or point fireworks at others.
- Never re-light a "dud" firework. Instead, wait 15 to 20 minutes, then soak it in a bucket of water.
- Never give fireworks to small children.
- Always supervise children when using any type of fireworks.
- Don't underestimate the danger of "safe" novelties. Three sparklers burning together generate the heat of a blowtorch (2,000 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Dispose of fireworks properly: Soak them in water, then place in a trash can.
If you attend a public fireworks display, leave your pets at home, stay well clear of the firing site, never touch any unexploded firework projectile, and resist the urge to bring your own. Personal fireworks can become dangerous in a large crowd.
Have a fun and safe Independence Day celebration out there!

BWW Likes: Historic Winter Storm and LES MIZ
BroadwayWorld.com noticed something today as we combed over Facebook and it's something that we really liked, so we wanted to share it with you because it's not so often that you find such generosity for actors. This weekend, all roads lead to St. Louis, as actors are headed there from all over the country to audition for the MUNY's summer production of LES MISERABLES directed by Richard Jay-Alexander and with music direction by Kevin Stites.
Last weekend, the MUNY was mobbed for auditions and this weekend, with LES MIZ, they're expecting even more. The show indeed continues to be one of the most beloved with a score that has endured already over 25 years.
What's amazing, is that the MUNY posted this on their Facebook page (already 'liked' by 27,275 fans and growing) and we've never seen anything so accommodating, so we're giving it a huge thumbs up from here as our first 'BWW Likes'. Here's what they wrote:
"ATTENTION THOSE SINGERS PLANNING TO AUDITION SATURDAY FEBRUARY 9th. The MUNY is aware that many of you may experience travel delays due to the weather in the northeast. If you are forced to arrive late to the audition due to the weather, you WILL still be heard by our audition panel. Safe travels!"
Congrats to everyone at the MUNY, including 'new sheriff in town' Executive Producer Mike Isaacson. Well done and good luck with your auditions and safe travels! We can't wait to see who's cast.
Here's the full season.

Richard Jay-Alexander (Director) will be making his Muny debut with LES MISERABLES. He began his theatrical career in 1977 in the original cast of the Broadway play, Zoot Suit, appearing thereafter in the original Broadway cast of Amadeus, which led to his being engaged as associate director of the national touring companies of that Tony Award-winning play. However, he is probably best known for his association with Producer Cameron Mackintosh, having served as executive director of Mr. Mackintosh's American company for ten years, running its day-to-day operations in North America.

Shortly thereafter, he became both associate director and executive producer of the original Broadway, touring and Canadian companies of LES MISERABLES, staging more than a dozen productions of that musical, reaching around the globe. The Phantom of the Opera followed, and then Miss Saigon, for which Richard was executive producer for the original Broadway, touring and Canadian companies. He also served as executive producer and associate director for Broadway's Five Guys Named Moe and was executive producer of its Grammy-nominated original cast recording. Richard subsequently produced recordings for Ms. Peters (Live From Carnegie Hall, Rodgers & Hammerstein, both Grammy-nominated), Johnny Mathis (On Broadway) and Mary Cleere Haran and co-wrote the liner notes for Barbra Streisand's The Movie Album and the DVD boxed set of her first 5 television specials. He began to branch out into producing albums, writing, and staged concerts for talents such as Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, Bernadette Peters, Ricky Martin, Russell Watson, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Lea Salonga, Il Divo, and many others. Richard staged Barbra Streisand's 2012 record breaking concert tour, and is currently directing Kristin Chenoweth's upcoming concert tour, as well as her American Songbook concert to be broadcast on PBS later this year.

Beavers down Aggies to win regional, advance to supers
CORVALLIS, Ore. - Ben Wetzler scattered four hits and a run in a complete-game effort and Danny Hayes drove in three to send the Oregon State baseball team to a 6-1 win over Texas A&M Sunday at Goss Stadium. With the victory, OSU claims the Corvallis Regional Championship and advances to an NCAA Super Regional matchup with Kansas State.
The super regional appearance will mark the fifth in the program's history and fourth that will be played at Goss Stadium. OSU advanced to the College World Series with wins in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
The Beavers' (48-10 overall) most recent super regional appearance was in Nashville in 2011.
Wetzler threw 121 pitches in his second complete game of the season. His lone blemish came in the first on a triple by Cole Lankford, but the lefty settled down and gave up just three hits the rest of the game.
He struck out 10, tying a career-high, and walked four to win his eighth game of the season. Wetzler, a native of Clackamas, Ore., was named to the Corvallis Regional All-Tournament Team.
Hayes broke a 1-1 deadlock in the seventh with a double down the right field line that narrowly eluded the glove of Lankford at first. It drove in two, and put the Beavers ahead for good.
Hayes added an RBI with a single in the ninth. Ryan Barnes and Kavin Keyes finished the inning with run-scoring singles that gave the Beavers insurance runs.
Hayes finished the game 2-for-5 with three RBI. Barnes led the Beavers with three hits, extending his hit streak to 10 games. Tyler Smith, Michael Conforto and Jake Rodriguez all had two hits for Oregon State, which finished with 14 on the day.
Dylan Davis, who had one hit Sunday, was named the Most Outstanding Player of the regional. He was joined on the all-tournament team by Wetzler, Barnes, Rodriguez, Andrew Moore and Andy Peterson.
Texas A&M's Lankford, Hunter Melton and Mikey Reynolds and UC Santa Barbara's Luke Swenson and Joey Epperson rounded out the all-tournament team.
Grayson Long started for the Aggies (34-29) and worked 5 2/3 innings, allowing six hits and one run while striking out three. He did not figure in the decision after the loss went to Texas A&M's Jason Jester, who gave up two runs and four hits in 2 1/3 innings and dropped to 3-4 on the year.
The Beavers will take on Kansas State in the NCAA Super Regional, which will start either Friday or Saturday and be played at Goss Stadium. The Wildcats defeated Arkansas Sunday and went 3-0 in the Manhattan Regional to advance.
Post Game Quotes
Oregon State Head Coach Pat Casey
Opening Statement
"I thought we played well, we swung the bat well and Benny Wetzler was really, really good. The one thing that (Texas A&M) Coach Childress said was, 'I can't believe how well you guys play together.' I don't think there is a better compliment other than that to our kids. He could have easily said you guys have some talent or I like your arms but he didn't say any of that. He just said, 'You guys play so well together'. As a coach that is probably as big of a compliment as I could get from a guy that I have so much respect for."
On how playing a tough Pac-12 schedule prepared his team for NCAA postseason play
"I think if you play 30 games within the Pac-12 in baseball, not only are you worn and weathered out but you have played some of the best baseball in the country. In particular, I think the pitching in our conference is really good and I think it is at times a bit overlooked. The ACC and SEC get a lot of publicity because they get a few more games on TV and I think they are great conferences but the Pac-12 is equally as strong, so any time you go through the conference like that it gets you prepared."
On starting pitcher Ben Wetzler's performance
"He was pretty good. He threw 92, 94 (MPH) in the ninth and I was wondering who he was going to hit first, me or (assistant coach) Nate (Yeskie) if we pulled him in the ninth. (Beaver play-by-play voice) Mike Parker asked me in the pre-game show if I had to say one thing about Benny Wetzler, what would it be? I said it is easy to say the guy has good stuff but he is just such a competitor and I think that separates him from a lot of other guys who have good stuff."
Oregon State Pitcher Ben Wetzler
On his performance, starting for the Beavers
"It started off pretty rough but as soon as I got the ball down , things started to change a little bit for me, and then Max (Gordon) goes out there and makes a SportsCenter Top 10 type of catch again, so it is just a team effort. Everybody made plays and I just tried to do my part."
On the momentum Max Gordon's diving catch gave his team
"We definitely feed off of each other. When someone does something extra ordinary it kind of gives us a little bit of energy and that kind of spring loads us into our offense and that is what we try to do. We try to have our defense feed off of our offense and our offense feed off of our defense."
Oregon State first baseman Danny Hayes
On the closeness of his team
"We definitely don't have any individuals on this team. We work together and when one guy has a rough day, the guy behind him picks him up. We've had guys who have been big all year, (Ryan) Barnes, Dylan (Davis), (Michael) Conforto. We have (Tyler) Smith, so we have a great group of guys who all love each other and we are there to pick each other up. We have a special group. I don't think I have ever played with a team as special as this and we are going to focus on next weekend, come out ready to play and see how far we can roll with this thing."
On his team's subdued celebration following the final out
"We are not done yet. We all have one goal in our minds and we are not going to be satisfied until we reach that goal, so we will take this win. It was nice not having to come back tomorrow and play, so we can get ready to go next weekend at home (in the Super Regional vs. Kansas State)."

We just found out the contents of Noemie Lenoir's and Selita Ebanks' makeup bags, and now I've got insight into what cosmetics supermodel Veronica Webb can't live without. On Tuesday evening, Veronica auctioned off pieces from her jewelry collection at an event (sponsored by Lancôme) to benefit her charity The Macedonia Fund. Veronica started the fund a year ago in memory of her mother; it helps disadvantaged children attend the Key West Montessori School for free. Not only am I pleased to see her using her celebrity for a good cause (now that's model behavior), but I also learned about her favorite beauty products.
My initial instinct is that she had some type of affiliation with Lancôme, but actually, she doesn't. A makeup artist simply turned her onto a few treats and now she's smitten. If you want to know what they are (and they're not all Lancôme, either),
- "Lait-Crème Concentrè Face Cream by Embryolisse is super moisturizing and never sticky. I also love Kiehl's Rare-Earth Facial Cleansing Mask — I use it religiously once a week."
- "I never leave the house without Lancôme Color Fever Gloss in Molten or Color Fever Shine Lipstick in Pixel Pink designed by Thakoon (which is unfortunately discontinued now). A blush of color on the lips wakes up and focuses your face instantly."
- "MAC Pinch o' Peach blush is like a pot of sunshine."
- "I blend Lancôme Maquicomplet all around my under-eyes, on my eyelids, on my brow bones, and across my temple to get rid of little red lines. It also brightens my eyes in a way that coffee can't since I usually get six hours of sleep."
- "The wand on Lancôme L'Extrême Mascara is great for defining and elongating lashes — it's as if a makeup artist applied it for you."

The domination of riders from Great Britain continues at the Tour de France of 2012. David Millar may have been born in Malta, and raised as a cosmopolitan citizen of the world but he calls himself Scottish and he's registered to race as a Brit. And today he outwitted a Frenchman to win his fourth stage of the Tour since making his debut in the race with a win on the opening day in 2000. «It's great to win time trials,» he said at the finish, «but a road stage is much more fun.»
It was a happy end for the Garmin-Sharp team after the longest stage of the 99th Tour. After a few days of watching the climbers and GC specialists fight it out for victory and gains in the overall rankings, this was a day when the opportunists seized their chance. Millar was in a quintet that found themselves at the front of the stage after 100km of attacking action. Together with Jean-Christophe Peraud, Egoi Martinez, Robert Kiserlovski and Cyril Gautier, Millar worked up an an advantage of over 12 minutes on the peloton and that allowed the leaving five to concentrate on the stage win and not worry about who was coming from behind. None of the quintet were a threat to Bradley Wiggins' overall lead but there was a small display of strength from the race leader who put in a small surge on one of the early category-one climbs. Still, he ultimately rolled in with the peloton 7'54» minutes behind his future Olympic team-mate and he keeps the yellow jersey for another day.

And today he outwitted a Frenchman to win his fourth stage of the Tour since making his debut in the race with a win on the opening day in 2000. «It's great to win time trials,» he said at the finish, «but a road stage is much more fun.»
The progress report
The 12th stage was the longest of the 2012 Tour de France. The 226 route took riders from St-Jean-de-Maurienne to Annonay in the Ardeche. There were two early climbs – the col du Grand Curcheron (cat-1 at 34km) and the col du Granier (cat-1 at 60.5km). The intermediate sprint was in Marcilloles at 153km. The official start was at 11.07am with 166 riders at the sign on. The non-starter was Gesink (RAB).
11-man break eventually forms
It was a fast start to the stage and not until 15km was any escapee able to gain an advantage on the peloton. Eventually 19 men broke free and it included: Burghardt (BMC), Popovych (RNT), Gautier (EUC), Perez (EUS), Koren (LIQ), Millar (GRS), Peraud and Bouet (ALM), Edet (COF), Engoulvent (SAU), Marcato (VCD), Gusev and Vorganov (KAT), Lund and Sorensen (STB), Grivko and Kiserlovski (AST), Grabsch (OPQ) and de Kort (ARG). This split on the first climb when several counter-attacks were launched but it wasn't until the descent of the col du Grand Cucheron that riders settled into their respective packs. Kiserlovski spent a brief stint on his own at the front, long enough to claim the 10 points for first over the first climb.
The average speed for the first hour was 36.8km/h.
Moncoutie (COF) had been involved in the counter-attacks but he crashed at 38km and quit the Tour.
At 45km, the remnants of the early attack had a lead of 45" on a counter-attack that included Horner, Martinez and Perez and the peloton was 1'30" behind and led by Boasson Hagen (SKY) There were 11 in the front group: Popovych, Gautier, Koren, Millar, Peraud, Bouet, Edet, Gusev, Vorganov, N. Sorensen and Kiserlovski. The Croatian Astana rider was the best of the escape on GC, 25th overall... but well behind Wiggins at the start of the day (28'43"). Veelers (ARG) abandoned at the 70km mark.
Col de Granier: an attack by Sagan...
Horner waited for the peloton and was caught before the second climb; by then, the 11 leaders were 50" ahead of Martinez, 2'00" ahead of Perez, and 2'35" ahead of the peloton. The lead group split and the five at the front at the top were Kiserlovski, Peraud, Martinez and Gautier. In the final 500m of the second climb, Wiggins seemed to attack the peloton and he briefly joined Coppel and Kern in a little taunt of the bunch. Sagan (LIQ) went on the attack with Taaramae (COF) on the descent and the rider in the green jersey was joined by his team-mate Nerz. Koren dropped out of the front group and waited for Sagan and, after 100km of racing, there was a group of five – Gautier (EUC), Martinez (EUS), Millar (GRS), Peraud (ALM) and Kiserlovski (AST) – 1'35" ahead of a group of nine: Popovych (RNT), Kern (EUC), Izaguirre (EUS), Koren (LIQ), Nerz (LIQ), Sagan (LIQ), Taaramae (COF), Vorganov (KAT) and Sorensen (STB). Then came the peloton at 3'20".
Orica-GreenEdge then moved to the front of the peloton to reel in the move by Sagan and they caught the green jersey at the feedzone (108.5km). That's left six men in the lead: Kiserlovski (AST), Peraud (ALM), Martinez (EUS), Millar (GRS), and Gautier (EUC). After 120km, they were 4'00" ahead. The average speed of the third hour was 41.8km/h.
Five continue to build their advantage
The five in the front of the stage were allowed to continually build their lead: 11'40" at 128km. Sky led the peloton and there was a general regrouping with those who had been dropped on the climbs returning to the yellow jersey's peloton. There was little interest in the escapees racing each other for points at the intermediate sprint and Millar was first over the line. Vacansoleil riders tried to sneak ahead to take sixth place points in the intermediate sprint but Goss timed his (late) sprint to perfection and beat Greipel, van Hummel and Sagan to add 10 points to his tally and lead the bunch to the line 11'00" behind the escapees.
The maximum gain of the escape was 12'50" when the quintet was at the 50km to go mark.
Millar claims his fourth Tour stage win
The five escapees worked together until the 5km to go mark and then they started playing games in the quest for the stage win. Martinez was the first to try but it lasted a matter of seconds. Peraud made a brief surge with 3.5km to go and Millar responded and this eliminated the three others... although they were always insight of the leading pair. They all refused to tow one another up to the front two and thus Millar was forced to lead Peraud out for the sprint. The Frenchman opened up the sprint with 250m to go but the Scot easily matched his pace and held him off to win a stage of the Tour for the fourth time (after the opening stage of 2000 – his first appearance in the race, stage 13 in 2002, and the penultimate stage of 2003).
Matt Goss led Peter Sagan to the line one second ahead of the peloton which finished 7'54" behind the stage winner. There was a protest by the rider in the green jersey and there is a chance that the Australian will be relegated.
Wiggins was in 12th place and he will wear the yellow jersey in stage 13.

Portland 70, Toreros 67
Kevin Bailey scored 18 points, including a key basket down the stretch, and Portland defeated USD 70-67 Thursday night.
Bailey scored with 13 seconds left to give the Pilots (11-18, 4-10 West Coast Conference) a 66-62 lead. Bryce Pressley and Ryan Nicholas each made a pair of free throws in the final seconds for Portland.
Ryan Nicholas and Derrick Rodgers scored 15 points apiece and Thomas van der Mars had 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Pilots.
Johnny Dee led the Toreros (13-15, 6-7) with 13 points, 11 of them coming in the second half. Chris Manresa and Ken Rancifer scored 12 points apiece for USD. Dennis Kramer had a team-high six rebounds for the Toreros.
USD has lost seven of its past nine after beginning the WCC season 4-0. Things figure to get much more difficult for the Toreros, who finish a stretch of three straight road games with a visit to No. 3 Gonzaga on Saturday. USD lost by just two points, 65-63, against Gonzaga when the teams played at Jenny Craig Pavilion on Feb. 2.
The Toreros finish the regular season with home games against San Francisco (next Thursday) and Pepperdine (March 2).Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

What you are missing is that I was very tired when I wrote the msg in question. I see, as I reread the msg, that the Venerable was referring to stream entry, but I was referring to full awakening. Thanks for the catch.khaaan wrote:tiltbillings wrote:The only "quality" that is not subject arising and passing away is that there is no longer any conditioning by greed, hatred, and delusion. Anything else we are entering the realm of Hinduism.
Tilt, I don't understand why you say "there is no longer..." (and the Suttas say "the destruction of ...", which seems to amount amount to the same thing.) Consider the transition fom wordling to ariya. As I understand it, nibbāna interrupts a stream of becoming, which beforehand we refer to as a wordling and afterwards as a stream-winner. So nibbāna is involved, and yet the stream-winner is still conditioned by greed, hatred, and delusion (since the permanent absence of those things is synonymous with the attainment of arahantship). What am I missing?

Spent the last 3 years with various injuries. Have played <10 times in that time period. Knees and back were just shot. Finally finishing up with some intense PT for bulged L1, L2, C6, and C7. Doc has released me back to full activity as of today and I'm planning on some field work this weekend to see what I want to put in my new, super back friendly, Grip bag.
The good thing is that the last year has been solid working out, yoga, flexibility, and core strengthening. I'm in better shape now at 41 than I've ever been.
My goal is to get back at it with a couple of changes. I'm going to teach myself to throw lefty (throw RHBH) as an added skill. It will be good for muscular balance and spinal stability as well as my game. I'm going to start with standing throws only and work up from there. Very scared to stress my back too much at first.
I haven't even looked at what discs have come out in the last 3-4 years (heck there's not just new discs, but all new companies to me!). I'm going to just start with the bag I was set on and played with steadily before I got hurt. I'm wondering what might be improved, if anything, with some of the newer plastic (I miss buying and trying new plastic, but am pretty set on minimal discs/molds carried) I'm also wondering what might be missing or redundant. Do I have the right disc(s) to learn to throw lefty? Any input and feedback you could give would be much appreciated!!
I used to top out at about 375 for long drives, 290-325 for my fairway drivers, 290-300 for my mids, and 200-250ish for my putters. We'll see how that pairs up with what I can do this weekend.
171 QOLF - This was my go to control, distance, hyzer flip, all around favorite disc.
175 SOLF - When I needed a bit more stability or fade than the above.
164 SOLF - All out distance when there wasn't a lot of trouble around.
172 MOLS - New. Tunnel shot, finish straight, tight wooded driver type driver.
172 MOLS - Seasoned. S shots, anny drives, controllable turn right driver
172 MOLS - Beat to snot. Rollers and finesse right turn drives.
175 EXP1 - Wind and super predictable/controllable. Trick shots, thumbers, all around overstable/stable workhorse.
175 MPolaris - Newish - fairway driver
175 MPolaris - Beat - compliment to above
(I wasn't ever thrilled with these, but seemed to be the best I could find that were reliable, shorter than the Orions, and worked well in tight, wooded courses)
173 First run Z Buzzz - Straight with the same fade every time. By far the most thrown disc every round.
171 Buzzz GT seasoned - Straight with a straight finish.
175 D Buzzz pretty beat - annies, flips, touch shots, tail wind mid, etc.
175 glow wizard - driving and wind putting
171 Warlock - main putter and super straight driver
