Return of the Terminator
Arnold Schwarzenegger talks about T3, politics and his desire to give something back to America.
(continued from page 4)
"That's why I love the idea of cloning," Arnold says, speaking slowly and distinctly to get every word right. "I could go and get two or three Arnolds and then do all the things I need or want to do. I love the cloning idea because the most frustrating thing for me is that we cannot do everything. And the next frustrating thing is that we have to sleep. If ever I will have a chance to talk with God, I would have a little conversation about that. I'd say, 'Why not alter things a little bit so that a few of us don't have to sleep and we can just see things 24 hours a day without getting tired?' Now that would be a miraculous kind of situation. I've thought about it many times over the years, because I find there is such a joy in doing many things in life and accomplishing many things."
Arnold -- as in Schwarzenegger, the Terminator, Mr. Universe -- has already accomplished much in his life: in bodybuilding, in Hollywood action movies and comedies, and in physical fitness and working with at-risk kids. But right now he could certainly use a few more Arnolds. This morning he is hard at work on the all-important launch phase of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, set for national release on July 2. Arnold is a master of the press interview and the worldwide publicity tour, but no doubt he could use a few more Arnolds now to fan out across America and other world markets to make sure that T3 is a huge summer success.
He could use a few more political Arnolds as well. Right now, on the other side of the country, his buddy George W. Bush is hard at work on Iraq and the U.S. economy -- and he's coming under fierce daily attack from the Hollywood left. Staunch Republican and Bush supporter though he is, Arnold has refused to go into public battle with Hollywood's liberal luminaries. But it certainly would be nice to have a few more Arnolds to help with the fund-raising and the quiet politicking he does behind the scenes. And there is something else waiting in the wings. The state of California is upwards of $35 billion in debt, Governor Gray Davis and his state Democratic Party machine are in a shambles, and there is growing talk in Republican circles in California -- and at the White House -- that Arnold might be the ideal man to clean up the mess. This morning, Arnold is not eager to delve into politics, but by the end of a two-hour interview he can no longer resist. His first priority, though, is Terminator 3, an affair of the heart he has been nurturing for the past 12 years.
"As soon as I did the second Terminator, I was very keen to do another," Arnold says. "But things were tied up in bankruptcy courts. The rights were split between different people. It took eight years to sort it out. Then came the scriptwriters. And the drafts. And the fine-tuning. And then the director came in, with his input, and that meant more drafts and more polishing. Then there was the prepping time for all the stunts. That, too, takes time. But I was always convinced I wanted to do this next Terminator. I think the world of this character and this story. "
Arnold says T3 was worth the wait and frustration. Like its predecessors, this is a rock 'em, sock 'em action pic, a sci-fi thriller on a colossal scale. With a budget in the realm of $170 million, the film features Nick Stahl, Kristanna Loken and Claire Danes, and this time there is something new in the Terminator saga: a poignant love story. In another twist, Arnold goes toe-to-toe with a deadly female Terminator. The story line, again moving between future and present, comes wrapped in dazzling action scenes and special effects, courtesy of George Lucas's Industrial Light & Magic. Arnold and his partners are hoping, of course, that all this adds up to a blockbuster, one that will top T2's worldwide grosses of more than $500 million.
"That's what everyone is shooting for," Arnold says, puffing his Montecristo. "And they think they can do it, they think the movie is good enough to do it. The studio [Warner Brothers] has seen the movie and they love it. They say they see great box-office potential."
For Arnold, though, T3 is about far more than money. This is a signature role for him, the role that ignited his career, the role that made him an international superstar, a box-office giant and a hero to millions of kids around the globe. This is also a role that fits him like silk: The Terminator allows Arnold to bring to the fore important aspects of his own character, like determination, focus and humor.
"I have the single focus," Arnold explains. "And, like him, I am seeing in front of me always what I want to accomplish. And I'm relentless -- I will continue until I get it, whatever 'it' is. I never listen when people say 'Oh, that's impossible' or 'It's never been done before.' Those things never stop me. I have my goals and I go after them. There is a certain discipline about it."
And then there's the humor. In Terminators 1 and 2, there were several memorable lines -- "I'll be back" is probably the most renowned -- and Arnold says T3 will feature plenty of humor as well. "I always insist on adding humor because even the most intense moments can be funny. Sometimes something happens that seems like the end of the world, but later you laugh about it." At one point in T3, his nemesis, the female Terminator, pulls a gun on him and shoots him in the face. "I just take the bullet and spit it out," Arnold says. "And I say, 'Don't do that!' -- as you would to a little girl who has shot you in the face with a rubber band. It's a very funny moment."
Arnold's own humor is evident right in his office. It is located in Santa Monica, a block from Venice Beach and just above Schatzi's on Main, the congenial restaurant and beer stube that Arnold and his wife, Maria Shriver, used to own. The building itself and the reception area of his company, Oak Productions, are nothing exceptional; the fun begins in the corridor leading back to Arnold's inner sanctum. There, guarding the entryway, the way some strange mythological creature might guard the gates of the Roman Colosseum or the River Styx, is a giant Terminator robot. It is an imposing sight, its steel limbs and torso gleaming in the morning light, and when you see it you are tempted to whisper, "Good Terminator. Stay, stay."
The office itself has to be one of the zaniest, and biggest, in Hollywood. There is a massive wooden desk to the right, a couch and sitting area to the left, and a full conference table and chairs in the far right corner. Dominating the room is a gigantic pool table, and coiled beneath it is a deadly alligator, teeth bared, a mate of the gator Arnold shot in Eraser and then deadpanned: "You're luggage." Above the pool table, hanging in mid-air, is a deadly jet fighter, the one Arnold "flew" in True Lies with Jamie Lee Curtis. Along with such Hollywood kitsch, there is some magnificent art. On a wall behind Arnold's desk is a stark and haunting Andy Warhol, and in opposite corners of the room are two elegant Wild West bronzes by Frederic Remington. On the coffee table, close at hand, is a lovely humidor filled with fine cigars.
Sitting with Arnold in his fabulous office, listening to him tell his stories, you quickly come to realize that here is a guy who knows that he is living a dream, a dream that has far outshined anything he could possibly have imagined as a youngster growing up. In many ways he has it all: a fabulous career, fabulous wealth, a fabulous Kennedy wife and four fabulous kids. Yet what is endearing about the man is that he still seems a bit like a kid who has fallen into the biggest, wildest candy shop in the universe, and he's staring wide-eyed at mountains of sweets and temptations that boggle his imagination. Somewhere deep down inside he is not quite sure if he truly belongs there, if he has any right to enjoy those incredible treats.
A few moments later, as if to explain, Arnold is remembering back to where his journey began, back to Austria, back to where he grew up, in the tiny hamlet of Thal-by-Graz. "I was a farm boy from out in the village. We had no TV. No electricity. No refrigerator. No flushing toilets. We had nothing in the house. Absolutely nothing. But I never felt I was poor as a kid. I'd see my mother make a sweater and my father make a little figure with his knife. And that was a Christmas gift. We were delighted with those things and I didn't feel I was cheated out of anything -- or that it would hold me back." Out of his childhood, Arnold says, came a lesson that would guide him for the rest of his life: "Don't worry about where you come from. Worry more about where you are going."
His father, Gustav, was an imposing figure. He was commander of the local gendarmerie and a severe taskmaster, but Arnold admired him: he was an athlete, a musician, and he carried a gun. At a very early age, though, Arnold realized he could not stay in Thal-by-Graz. "I knew that if I had to stay in Austria, it meant death for me, because I would have been depressed from here to eternity. I felt that was not the place where I wanted to be. I was meant for more than that."
But what would be his ticket out? Arnold had no idea. He was a good athlete, in soccer, swimming and most of the other sports he tried, but he never saw sports as a ticket to glory or a new life in a more exciting place. Then one day in 1962, in the nearby town of Graz, he wandered past an intriguing shop. Something in the window held Arnold's eye: an American muscle magazine, showing how to build your body and become a he-man. Inside the store there were also power springs you could use to tone your body and build up your muscles. And there was something more: "The magazine had a story about this guy Reg Park, who was Mr. Universe in 1951 and then again in 1958 [also in 1965]. Then in 1961 he started doing Hercules movies. On the cover it said, 'From Mr. Universe to Movies.' And I said, 'You know something? This magazine cover just mapped out what I'm going to do with my life.'"
From the beginning, America was central to his dream. "I had seen 8mm movies in school about America and I said, 'Man, do I want to be over there. Look at those Cadillacs driving down the road, with those big fins sticking out, look at those high-rises, look at those big bridges, look at the people and how much fun they have. The beaches. Surfboards. Great girls. Hollywood and the stars.' I had been kind of dreaming about that, but I had no idea how to get there. How do you get there? -- that was always the question, even when I was 10 years old. How do you get there?"
Bodybuilding, of course, became the answer, and Arnold threw himself into it with a fanatical ambition and will. "Everyone told me already that I have a huge potential. My muscles increased in size quickly. My strength increased. I was doing 300 or 400 sit-ups at lunch, and I must have done thousands of squats and chin-ups. And right away I became part of the weight-lifting team, doing Olympic lifting and competing against other villages and towns." Soon he was training five hours a day, sculpting every inch of his body, and by the age of 20 he had been crowned Mr. Universe, the youngest ever to win the title. Three times he won that title, plus seven Mr. Olympia crowns, a Mr. World title and scores of others. He was the king; no one else even came close.
Then, just as he had dreamt it, he found his way into movies. In 1969, when he was already a powerhouse bodybuilder, Arnold was picked for a part in a film called Hercules in New York. It was a modest film, released only on TV, but in Arnold's mind it was a pretty good start. Soon he was out in California, in the San Fernando Valley, in Vince's Gym, chasing his American dream and looking for the way to achieve the next step, become a true Hollywood star.
Some public relations genius had changed Schwarzenegger's name to Arnold Strong for the film, and soon he was doing a comedy gig on TV with Shecky Green. His performance was nothing to brag about, but Lucille Ball, the queen of comedy, spotted it and the next day, by phone, she tracked Arnold down to Gold's Gym, where he was in the midst of a workout. "'You were fantastic,' she told me,'" Arnold recalls. "'You were funny. You were likable. Your body looks fantastic. And I want to meet you tomorrow in my office. I want you to read for a part. I'm doing a TV [sit-com] called "Happy Anniversary and Goodbye," with Art Carney, and I want you to play the masseur.' I was over the moon, and I went to her office, she gave me a script and said, 'OK, let's read.' I, of course, had no idea what that meant, 'to read.' That you act out the part. I had no idea because I had never gone to acting class."
His reading was a disaster, flat and unexpressive, and while Arnold sat there clueless and satisfied, Ball looked at the director, looked at Carney, and then, on a leap of faith, made her decision. She put the script aside, engaged Arnold in some ad lib conversation, and then the two were off and running, improvising the entire scene. Arnold got the job and held his own through several days of rehearsals. Then came Friday, when the scene was going to be shot live. The problem was, Arnold says, he had no idea what "live" meant. He stood in the green room, panting like a racehorse, waiting for his moment of glory, and then, when the light went on, he rushed out on stage. And then he froze in his tracks. He was stunned to be facing an audience filled with hundreds of people. So that's what "live" meant! Again, Ball came to his rescue, and somehow they pulled off the scene. Arnold, though, had terrible nightmares about it for many months to come.
From that day forward, though, he had a faithful fan in his corner. "After that, every time I came out with a movie, Lucille Ball wrote me a note or called me, until she died. Every single thing I did she says, 'I'm proud of you. I love you. You're like my son. You're the greatest. I can't believe I was the first one to have you on my show.' I mean, she was incredible. It was like a mother watching out for you. So I have to tell you one thing: so many people had this kind of an impact on me and helped me gain confidence. Those are the kind of experiences that really make you and shape you, to get that kind of support and feedback. It really elevated me and helped me make great leaps forward."
The encouragement was comforting, but Arnold also knew that if he wanted to succeed as an actor, he had plenty of work to do. "I knew I had to dive in and work as hard as I had in bodybuilding," Arnold says. "So you go and take speech lessons, and accent-removal lessons, and English lessons, and you work on script reading and writing and acting. I went every day from 8 in the morning to 12 midnight. I always asked myself the simple question: 'What did it take for me to win in bodybuilding?' OK, then let's get into it and do the same thing for movies."
The hard work paid off. In 1977, his natural charisma and humor came to the fore in Pumping Iron, a now-classic documentary about the world of bodybuilding, featuring, of course, the king, the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger. That year, he also won a Golden Globe Award as best newcomer for his role in Stay Hungry, starring Jeff Bridges and Sally Field. Conan the Barbarian, in 1982, was Arnold's first lead role, and it generated a sequel, Conan the Destroyer, a dismal film. Then came the chance to play an unusual role, a violent, terrifying robot, in a sci-fi thriller to be called The Terminator. At first, though, Arnold was reluctant to take on the role.
"There were only 24 lines to speak, and so I said to myself, 'Is that the direction I want to go?'" Arnold recalls. "Not only was I going to play a villian, but I thought I might run the danger that everyone always would want me to play a villain." But the director, a then-fledgling upstart named James Cameron, gave Arnold a persuasive argument. "He said, 'Look, having only a few lines will be very powerful. Weak people have to explain a lot. But powerful people don't.'" Cameron also promised Arnold that this would be a unique villain, one who would be likable and often quite humorous. That sealed it for Arnold, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Along with Die Hard, Lethal Weapon and, of course, Mr. Bond, The Terminator is one of the most valuable action pix franchises in Hollywood, and the rights now belong to two Hollywood pros, Andrew Vajna and Mario Kassar, partners in C-2 Pictures. According to Vajna, for the marketing and promotion of Terminator 3, he has the most potent weapon there is in the business. "Arnold is one of the few actors who's totally dedicated to his movies," Vajna says. "He's always willing to be out on a limb, to help with the marketing and selling of the movie all over the world. He is always prepared to do whatever it takes to get the job done. In international terms, thanks to Arnold, Terminator is one of the most powerful brand names coming out of the movie industry."
Pablo Helman, a visual effects wizard from Industrial Light & Magic, spent the full, grueling 101 days on the T3 set with Arnold, supervising the design and execution of the movie's difficult action scenes. Many of those scenes were constructed with sophisticated computer graphics, and Helman and his team at ILM spent nine months doing the necessary research and development. Arnold's input was key. "He knows the character through and through, so he knows if the Terminator would do something or not. So he brings a lot to the table," Helman says. "He also knows his body very well, and he's very knowledgeable about camera angles and how his body ought to look. It makes our job a lot easier." For the final scene, Arnold spent an agonizing six hours having his makeup applied. "He is an incredible professional," Helman says. "I never once saw him grumpy."
On the set, Arnold also works hard to keep everybody loose. "We were on a huge set in southern L.A., and to cover the distances we all ran around on scooters," Andy Vajna recalls. "Just for fun, we would steal each other's scooters and hide them. One time we strung one up on a street sign, so high nobody could see it. Arnold's a real prankster." He's also a killer chess player, Vajna says: "Arnold loves chess. And he loves to win. In fact, he keeps a running tab of his victories posted on the wall. He skis, and he plays tennis and golf. But he also likes the brain games."
On the set, Arnold also likes to unwind with a fine cigar. For the past several years he has been cutting back, but at the end of the day he still loves a great smoke. "I smoke Cohibas. I smoke Montecristos -- the No. 2s -- and I smoke some local stuff. At Schatzi's we still do great business with our cigar nights outside, the first Monday of every month."
One of Arnold's great passions these days is humidors. At the end of shooting most of his movies, he offers custom-made humidors to many of the cigar aficionados among the crew. For Terminator 3, he had 25 humidors made with a special T3 image on the lid. "We gave away 18 of them and then we auctioned the seven others, with the proceeds going to my Inner-City Games program. The last one we auctioned went for $6,800."
With Arnold Inc., many things seem to overlap for fun and profit, including movies and politics. Arnold is extremely proud of his after-school initiative, known as Proposition 49. That was a California ballot initiative, passed last year, that Arnold launched to use public schools, K through 9, for after-school programs in sports, fitness and culture. He went up and down the state promoting the project, and he amassed plenty of political capital in the process. Under the measure, each year the state -- its finances permitting -- gives up to $50,000 to elementary schools, up to $75,000 to junior highs, and additional grants of up to $200,000 for schools with students coming predominantly from low-income families. To Arnold, the concept is both simple and effective, and it comes straight from the lessons he learned from his own struggles coming up from nothing. Kids need, he says, what he got from Lucille Ball and others: support, warmth, positive mentoring and a feeling of belonging.
"I just want to give kids what I got to make me successful," Arnold says. "I want them to have the same thing. Especially in the inner cities, kids are being told all the time, 'You're in the ghetto. You'll never make it. You'll always be poor. Success is not for you.' And that's terrible. And so what I'm trying to tell them is that this is negative propaganda and lies. Work hard and you can do it. And we try to give them people who will support them along the way."
Arnold says he is just as positive and reinforcing with his own children. "The greatest investment that you can make for children is to put in time with them. You have to be the one who teaches them, you have to be the one who works with them in math, because they will remember that down the line. Every child is born with this empty pocket and so 'Who is going to fill it up?' is the question at the end of the day. Is it going to be the scum that fills it up, or is it going to be me, or the coach, the teacher, or the priest in church? Who is going to fill it up and create a good human being?"
To raise money for his Prop. 49 fight, Arnold came up with his own unique version of Bill Clinton renting out the Lincoln Bedroom: he invited potential donors to the set of Terminator 3 for a private glimpse of the action and photos with the Terminator himself. "I'd call up some guy that was supporting us and say, 'Yeah, right now I'm calling from the set.' And the guy would say, 'Wait a minute! You are shooting there now?' And I'd say, 'Yeah, I'm in the Terminator outfit and all the makeup.' And the guy would finally get it and he would say, 'Can I bring my son down?' And I say, 'Well, that will cost you a hundred.' And the guy says, 'You got it! You got it!'" Now, readers, let's be clear: that "hundred" means $100,000. And he often got the full asking price.
With his charm, his star power, and that kind of ability to raise big sums of money, Arnold is widely seen as a potential savior for California's Republican Party. Today, the glory Reagan years are a distant memory for the state GOP, and the party often comes across as anemic and disjointed. With Governor Davis appearing like the lamest of ducks, though, there is growing talk in the press and in political circles that Arnold might run for governor in 2006. Many Republicans believe he would be a strong candidate, no matter which Democrat emerges at the end of Davis's second term. But some state Republicans would rather see Condoleezza Rice, President Bush's national security adviser, run for governor, with Arnold then running for the Senate against Barbara Boxer, a liberal, anti-war Democrat who could be vulnerable next time around.
In this interview, though, and in a subsequent telephone chat, Arnold made clear he has no interest in the Senate. California is his adopted home, he said, and it is here where he wants to give something back. The idea of running for governor is clearly tempting him, and Republican insiders say he is already raising money. But Arnold is not ready to declare his intentions. With great aplomb, he sidesteps all questions about his precise ambitions, but he also makes it clear that he intends to keep fighting for his after-school program, hoping to turn it into an inspiring model that can be replicated across all the public schools in America. As he explains, "The most important things always begin at the grass roots."

Major Areas of Study: PHYSICS
The physics curriculum begins by exposing students to a spectrum of topics ranging from Newton's laws of motion to the foundations of quantum mechanics and ends by refining these topics conceptually and mathematically. Since physicists eventually become preferentially oriented towards experimental, computational, or theoretical endeavors, the curriculum is designed to give students an opportunity to explore each of these orientations. The major in physics is designed to meet the needs of students that intend on teaching physics, continuing their study of physics in graduate school, or pursuing a physics-related career.
Student Opportunities
Off-Campus Internships and Research Experiences
Recent examples include:
Camelia Petre participated in Purdue University's Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program in the School of Engineering Education. She worked on a project entitled "400,000 People Who Landed on the Moon: Life Stories of Engineers Involved in the Moon Landing". This involved conducting interviews with engineers that worked for NASA on the Apollo, Gemini and Mercury projects. The ultimate goal is to assemble an online library of these discussions in audio and text formats, links to other resources treating the subject, and conclusions drawn from analyzing the data.

Ukiah Daily Journal
UVFD: Alleged hit-and-run causes fuel spill on Feed Lot Lane
About 20 gallons of diesel fuel leaked out of a big-rig truck north of Ukiah after a driver reportedly hit one of the truck's two 100-gallon tanks early Saturday morning, according to Capt. John Strangio of the Ukiah Valley Fire District.
The district received a call at about 12:30 a.m. and arrived minutes later to find the spill, according to Strangio. A transportation company's big-rig, carrying two 100-gallon saddle tanks that had just been filled, was parked with its tractor pointing north on Millview Lane when a sedan headed west on Kuki Road allegedly hit one of the tanks and ruptured it, according to Strangio.
About 20 gallons of fuel spilled onto the roadway before firefighters arrived and slowed the leak with a clay mix used to plug holes, he said, and put a 50-gallon pool underneath the break in the tank to capture the leaking fuel.
Firefighters called the Redwood Empire Hazardous Incident Team and notified Mendocino County Environmental Health. A REHIT hazmat rig responded and pumped about 70 gallons of diesel from the leaking tank, topping off two of the transportation company's trucks in the area and putting about 45 gallons in a 55-gallon drum, according to Strangio.
The California Highway Patrol pulled over the sedan believed to have hit the tank about a block away, he said. Further details about the traffic stop were not available Saturday night.
Human skeleton identified
A human skeleton found by a hiker near Fort Bragg last month was recently identified as the remains of a 63-year-old Fort Bragg woman, according to the Mendocino County Sheriff-Coroner's Office.
The woman was last seen Oct. 28, and one of her employees reported her missing Nov. 1, according to the MCSO. She was "despondent" when she went missing, according to the MCSO, and foul play wasn't suspected.
The MCSO chief deputy coroner classified the woman's death a suicide resulting from a gunshot wound.
Sex offender moved, arrested
A registered sex offender who allegedly moved without notifying authorities was arrested Thursday, according to the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff's Sgt. Derek Scott and Mendocino County Child Protective Services were investigating a home in the 800 block of Lake Mendocino Drive at about 9 a.m. Jan. 31 and spoke with sex offender Brian McIntosh, 63, at his home. They learned that he had not reported his address change to the Sheriff's Office, a violation of his sex offender registration requirements, according to the MCSO.
Scott arrested McIntosh of failing to register as a sex offender and booked him at the Mendocino County Jail under $15,000 bail.
Laytonville man arrested on suspicion of sex with minor
An 18-year-old Laytonville man was arrested Wednesday for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl, according to the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office.
A deputy responded to Laytonville High School at 10:53 a.m. Jan. 30 for a report of a missing 14-year-old girl, according to the MCSO.
The deputy found the girl and learned that she had in December started dating Austin Meritt, 18, and that they had sex a number of times during the following month, according to the MCSO.
The deputy investigated further and established probable cause to believe Meritt had engaged in sexual acts with the girl, according to the MCSO. The deputy arrested Meritt on suspicion of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor at least three years younger than the perpetrator, and booked him at the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office under $15,000 bail.

Do not buy it greater than 24x18!
By guythatboughtapicture
from California
Purchase Reason
This product shouldn't be sold for anything greater than the 24x18 version. I ordered the 32x24 and it looked blurry, like it was enlarged way too much.It makes sense. The original was probably small (a piece of paper maybe?) and there is only so far you can enlarge it. I got what I wanted, but it really shouldn't be sold this way because it looks terrible. I can't imagine how bad the 56x42 must look.

Is that you, Tara Reid? The former Taradise star reemerged over the weekend at the Hollywood premiere of The Fountain looking nothing like her former self. Gone were the harsh makeup, bleached-blonde hair and skimpy outfits. Instead, she glided down the red carpet in a form-flattering little black dress and pointy stilettos. Softly muted makeup and pretty ringlets completed her stunning transformation. We were completely caught by surprise: Just when we were ready to count out the onetime all-American starlet, she gives us a glimpse of something pretty Tarariffic. Tell us: What do you think of Tara's new look?

Baseball if you lock knuckles you get ejected.
I'm assuming in the NFL you get ejected if you draw blood, not sure about that one. Not too many fights int he NFL.

The Potential of AJ Lee vs. Kaitlyn + Fan Made Movie Trailer
by, 05-02-2013 at 08:49 PM (5260 Views)
I have always been an advocate of female wrestling. However, it's been really hard to support anything related to the words diva or knockout in main stream over the years.
Until now.
I see a lot of potential in this upcoming feud between AJ Lee and Kaitlyn. Being a fan of both divas, I've been craving this feud since 2011 and I'm glad it is finally going to happen. The history between the two, being former best friends turned bitter enemies, speaks for itself and their matches are good enough to live up to their hype. AJ has been treating Kaitlyn like shit for over a year and Kaitlyn has just taken the abuse. Now she gets to let it all out in this feud. WWE actually has an opportunity to make people care about their female division and book a WWE diva feud that is worthy of a PPV. It has the makings to be a real grudge feud between females, not males, females. There really hasn't been one since Mickie James vs. Trish Stratus, in my opinion. Some choose to argue Melina vs. Mickie James or Melina vs. Michelle McCool. Regardless, it's been years since we got a decent female wrestling feud and I am excited about this one coming up.
I just hope WWE gives it the necessary TV time and enjoyable segments to make this work. With the right amount of interactions on RAW, I think Kaitlyn and AJ can bring a lot of interest to the show. I don't care if the ultimate goal is to give AJ Lee the title. That is fine. AJ Lee deserves it. All I want is an entertaining feud and not just some average divas feud. I'll be extremely disappointed if WWE drops the ball with this one.
Thanks for reading. Share your thoughts down below.

Lately, we've been taking a look back at some of our favorite photos and stories from the last year. Just for fun, here's one more. Animals have turned up in the news a lot this year. A ribbon seal that was hanging out a long way from home caught a lot of attention. A very special cat was reunited with her owner. A dog was returned home after allegedly being sold on Craigslist. And there were so many more stories.

Photo Gallery: Interiors By Katie Ridder
A look at one of America's top young designers.
Grasscloth-lined walls, dark-stained floors and a dimensional door in a distinct French violet create a finely balanced space.
This entrance has Persian, Viennese, French and English influences — an international flavour found in nearly every space designed by Ridder.
A wavy mirror cabinet adds whimsy to an already colourful, eccentric room.
Bright orange and yellow cherry blossoms delight in a custom Fromental wallpaper. A hand-loomed wool carpet in a Moorish pattern and a vibrant ikat pattern on the dining chair demonstrate how Ridder revels in extravagance.
A blue pendant light injects colour into a monochromatic room.
Although the kitchen is mainly white, New York interior designer Katie Ridder layers in warmth with the oak floors and pattern with the shimmering, Moroccan tile backsplash.
Back-painted glass works as a seamless, easy-to-clean backsplash.
Here, Ridder uses French blue to add life to an all-white space. Sleek cabinet pulls keep the look modern.
Gently undulating lamp shades, made from Murano glass, add casual charm.
Ridder chose a similar shade of apple green on a window frame in the kitchen, the walls in the back hall and in the "Seaweed" wallpaper which lines the mudroom. The repetition gives these three adjacent rooms visual continuity.
Use a sheer embroidered panel to mask a less-than-perfect view.
Hits of bright red — a pair Murano lamps, the playful chandelier and an abstract painting — smartly contrast against this dining room's aquatic blues and greens.
Update a sofa with an antique fabric skirt.
Ridder turned the living room of a Nantucket house into a warm, restful vacation spot with pale blue strie walls, custom-made ottomans and an over-sized painting of a post card.
Bold and colourful cement tiles anchor this space with pattern.
A painted cane occasional chair, tufted sofa and a frond floor lamp layer subtle texture into a sun-drenched sitting area.
Use a bold red sofa to create a strong focal point in a sitting area.
Seen from a different angle, light pours into the same room through wall-to-wall French doors.
A floor-to-ceiling bookcase makes an architectural statement.
A soft blue sofa stands out against a dizzying backdrop of hundreds of books. Boldly patterned drapes and geometric rug offer old-world charm.
Soothing lavender walls offset ornately patterned furniture.
Ridder layered this opulent living room with rich decor — a pair of inlaid Indian tables, a sofa upholstered in a linen weave, an antique Tabriz carpet, a Kiki Smith painting — for a modern-regal effect.
A handmade hooked rug layers quirk into a subdued room.
Traditional architectural details like a box beam ceiling and an elegant mantel create a sumptuous backdrop for a relaxing sitting area.

It's 100x smoother on my iPhone 4 and no crashes so far and I noticed they fixed the glitch in music player where the nothing playing used to look like no....ing
MUCH MORE STABLE!! It's smooth now! I have problems with the messages app. At least the keyboard is fixed! It worked just fine without a developers account! For you guys who just did shift + update!
And better animations! It easier to see and runs better!
Simply hit Restore in iTunes to downgrade back to 6.1.4.
You can't hide apps in the news stand anymore and they fixed the define/dictionary.
The battery life seems better and so far no reboots.
Download a new app! Check out the animation!!! It's like a clock in a circle in another clock!!!
Most AppStore apps do work. I have had iOS 7 since beta 1 on my i5 and use it as my primary device. Besides the really short battery life in beta 1 it has been fine. The only app I have that won't launch on my i5 is Google+. My iPad is different though, I have several apps that wont launch there, Google+ and Linked In to name two. The apps I regularly use are fine though.
Hey guys, quick ?, is there alink where I can download beta 3, without a developers account

Lung Cancer Problems After Radon Exposure?
We just had a radon test at our house, and it revealed a level of 5 pCi/L. The EPA suggests a follow-up test and then action to reduce radon levels between 4-8 pCi/L.
My wife and I have lived in our house for 10 years. Neither one of us smoke, but I did smoke for several years before we moved here, in my early Twenties (I`m now 38). My wife has mild asthma. She had this long before we moved here.
What can we do now, and in the future, to monitor any damage and potential lung cancer risk this exposure caused? Are there any tests we should get now or in future? Thanks!
There is a slight problem with the wording of your question, "...it revealed a level of 5 pCi/L. The EPA suggests a follow-up test and then action to reduce radon levels between 4-8 pCi/L." If your test shows 5 pCi/L then you're already at 4-8 pCi/L. If the recommendation is to reduce your levels by 4-8 pCi/L, then that range is excessive, given their starting point (they would have to reduce levels by 80 to 100%). I think EPA has <4 pCi/L as its standard. So there are some inconsistencies here that I'm can't address without clarification.
However, I think if you hire a company to do an abatement (sealing all foundational and floor cracks, including sump pump openings, crawl spaces, etc., followed by placement of a negative pressure air pump to continually vent air from under the basement floor) you will almost certainly get the levels down to acceptable levels.
As for the health risks, they depend on how much time residents spent on the floor with the levels around 5 pCi/L, other environmental factors (like smoking, which doesn't seem to be at play here), inherent susceptibility (there's a reason why some people can smoke for 70 years without getting lung cancer while others never smoked and get it), and other occupational exposures (for example, secondhand smoke, roofing, asphalt work).
If you have a basement where the testing was done and you spend, let's say 5% of your time there, then your exposure is pretty low. If your house is on a slab and you spent 100% of your time at 5 pCi/L then your exposure has been greater, but still not extreme in the big picture. My guess is that the risk of lung cancer from this level of exposure is fairly low. Some houses in central Ohio, for example, are built on ravines carved out of shale (the rock most associated with radon) and have levels over 100 pCi/L.
The question about monitoring for health effects is trickier, but, with some cost, you could have sputum samples tested for abnormal cells. This would not be diagnostic, but could give you a screening for early changes in DNA. See the paragraph below:
"As previously mentioned, the primary organ identified in both human and animal studies following exposure to radon and progeny is the lung. Alterations in sputum cytology have been evaluated as an early indicator of radiation damage to lung tissue. The frequency of abnormalities in sputum cytology, which may indicate potential lung cancer development, increased with increasing cumulative exposures to radon and radon daughters. Although abnormal sputum cytology may be observed following radon exposure, this effect is also seen following exposure to other xenobiotics, including cigarette smoke. In addition, even though increases in the frequency of abnormal sputum cytology can be measured, they may not provide a reliable correlation between levels in human tissues or fluids with health effects in exposed individuals."

Lush Shower Gels Reviews
Fantastic!I discovered Lush products when wandering through a mall. I am thrilled with finding such high quality products ranging from this gel to creams, body butter, makeup, and fragrance. The gel is the best I have ever used, which include Philosophy, among others. It is handmade with no additives and no animal testing. It lathers very nicely, and I feel so relaxed from the wonderful aroma. The fragr...read moreance choices are many, and I purchased "Flying Fox", which smells of jasmine. It is extremely moisturizing, more so than any gel I have ever used. What I love about Lush products is that a little goes a long, long way. I highly recommend this product and the Lush line of cosmetics. — 4 years, 4 months agoCaroleVonAllten | 1401 reviews
Pass my "scratch test"I have never purchased the same shower gel twice. Every one I have ever used leaves a residue, so I don't feel clean after washing. After washing, I scratch my nails along my thigh. ALWAYS, there is a bunch of junk under my nails. So I switched to soap. No more residue under my nails (or on my body), but I missed the moisturizing benefits of shower gels. So I scooped up small bottles of Tramp, Son...read moreic Death Monkey, and Flying Fox when I visited a Lush store. I love them all. Each has a distinct scent, and all leave me totally clean. While not exactly the most moisturizing, these do dry out my skin. I should also point out that the scents are not fake in the way that most brands' are. For example, I love coffee, but I hate coffee-smelling things. I surprised myself by loving the sweet, rich, true scent of Sonic Death Monkey. Ditto Flying Fox, which eschews the typical sickly sweet floral scent (the hallmark of most synthetic fragrances) in favor of a heady bouquet of jasmine. When I use FF, I'd swear there is a jasmine plant flowering outside my bathroom window. I have long poo-poo'd patchouli as smelling "dirty." Usually, it does. But the way it is used in Tramp is sexy and mysterious. — 8 years, 5 months agoteshie | 396 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
I've been using the TomTom app for iPhone as my GPS. It really does the job and it makes me feel safe especially when I am traveling for my day job. At CES Garmin added a feature to GPS units that I haven't seen before that allows you to record your own voice for the Nav system. I know you can get celebrity voices on some GPS units already but being a DIY guy when it comes to audio the "Voice Studio" feature looks cool. It's a novelty I know and I can already imagine being picked up at the airport by a promoter and on the way to an event every time he needs to make a left turn the intro to Nitzer Ebb's Violent Playground plays (the song starts with Douglas McCarthy screaming "To the Left!". Listen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJS847sh9RU. One can dream.
"Basically, it's a PC-based app that lets you record your own nav instructions (which we're guessing is going to result in some extraordinarily NC17-rated Nuvis). The company is saying it'll take about 20 minutes to complete a set of commands." – engadget.com

The spring and summer of 2008 was hard on Midwest livestock producers. In addition to the high price of corn, widespread flooding damaged and still threatens livestock operations. This isn't the first time flooding has im-pacted cattle herds, however. The USDA states that several thousand dairy cows perished during floods in Snoho-mish Valley, Wa. in 1991, approximately 1,200 dairy cows perished during floods in Tillamook, Ore. in 1996 and during 1997, and approximately 90,000 beef cows died during floods in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
Just three years ago when hurricanes Katrina and Rita rolled through the Gulf Coast, thousands of cattle were also affected. Observers estimate producers lost at least 80% of the cattle in Plaquemines Parish, La., alone.
Common hazards to livestock during flooding include:
Contaminated food and water supplies
Standing, stagnant water
Livestock carcasses
Sharp objects transported or blown into pastures
Sick/diseased animals
Wild animals displaced by floodwaters
Damaged barbed wire fences and gates
Weakened barns and other structures
Eroded and unstable creek beds
(David W. Smith, Texas Extension Disaster Education Network)
Louisiana State University Extension veterinarian Christine B. Navarre, DVM, MS, Dipl. ACVIM, says flooding issues caused a variety of immediate problems for cattle. "Cattle were stranded on levees with only brackish/salt water to drink without enough food," Navarre says. "There were some injuries and thousands drowned."
Navarre saw a rise in infectious abortions (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and Leptospira hardjo, both diagnosed) from commingling cattle. "We also had reports of respiratory disease." She notes that some mastitis problems occurred on dairies from lack of power and having to milk erratically.
Severe flooding in the 1990s helped many of the Oregon Coast dairymen prepare for smaller-scale flooding in the past several years. Former dairy practitioner and vice president of Quality and Member Services for Tillamook County Creamery Association, Tillamook, Ore., Mark Wustenberg, DVM, says in the last two years the number of animal mortalities due to flooding has been relatively low and usually related to producers not reacting fast enough as the water is rising. In most cases the dairies are moving their animals to a neighbor's temporarily or moving them onto "cow pads" (elevated areas created with fill) that allow the animals to temporarily get up out of the barns.
Wustenberg says, "This last winter we had one herd that lost milking animals and heifers because they chose to leave their animals on the dairy while the neighbors took theirs to other farms. They did have a cow pad and put the animals on this but they failed to fence or restrain the animals and some decided to leave the elevated pad."
Increased mastitis
More recently in the Midwest, Mike Knoll, DVM, River Valley Veterinary Clinic, S.C., Plain, Wis., had clients affected by the spring and summer flooding. He says though they didn't see many cases of drowning or lightning strike in livestock, they have seen some increase in environmental mastitis cases. "We're concerned about potential diseases such as foot rot/hairy heel warts and clostridial diseases," Knoll says. "We're recommending initiating or boostering J5 and clostridial disease vaccinations."
Wustenberg notes that somatic cell count (SCC) will increase even in low SCC herds with irregular or missed milkings. "In herds where SCC typically runs low, the counts will come back down rapidly as regular milkings are re-established," he says. "In herds where there is significant subclinical mastitis, it may take a while for the counts to come down. Re-establishing a regular feeding, milking schedule and getting animals a dry place to lie down is really the best medicine."
Erratic milking and milk-hauling was also a problem for dairies along the Oregon Coast that flooded in 1996 and subsequent years. "Many dairies have generators that will allow milking but don't have the added ability to keep the milk cooled properly. Our biggest logistical issue is figuring out how to get the milk off the dairies and to the plant," says Wustenberg. "Roads are flooded and blocked by downed trees because we get flood and wind together. Power is out so milking times vary. We need to pick up milk right after milking because cooling is inadequate. The milk haulers are probably the biggest 'unsung heroes' in this situation."
Post-flooding problems
Diseases aren't the only livestock problems that can happen subsequent to disaster issues. Flood-damaged feeds and mycotoxins are a real concern for Knoll and his clients. "We are advising clients to watch for moldy feed. If moldy feeds are fed, producers should test for mycotoxins, monitor for feed refusal or illness and dilute with safe feeds. Mycotoxin-absorbing products may be helpful. Mycotoxins can be especially problematic in young stock and pregnant animals."
Wustenberg adds that when exposed to flood waters, the bottoms of hay stacks begin to heat and commodity piles do the same, and there is usually some damage to silage piles, "although if they are packed well it's surprising how little penetration into the piles you get," he says. "You can get changes in parts of stacks that continue to take place post-flooding relating to moisture, pH changes and contamination with things like Listeria, Bacillus, and clostridials."
"The degree of feedstuff destruction will depend on the relation of moisture, time and temperature; and, of course, how rapidly drying occurred to suboptimal levels for microbial proliferation," says Gavin Meerdink, DVM, Veterinary Diagnostic Investigations, Inc., Mahomet, Ill. "About any of the agents listed under mycotoxin production would be suspect and depending on aerobic/anaerobic conditions, clostridial and other anaerobes would have to be included." Meerdink says in addition to potential bacterial and mycotoxic problems, veterinarians should be aware of the potential contamination of flooded feedstuff from adjacent materials such as petroleum tanks, chemical storage facilities, etc.
Many of Knoll's clients were also affected to varying degrees based on topography and run-off. "Crop losses are by far more significant than direct animal losses," he says. "Both corn and soybean land have either been lost or damaged by flooding/soil saturation. Some replanting has been done but some land was too wet to allow that. High feed costs are going to make it very difficult for farmers who have had significant crop losses."
In Louisiana, Navarre says one huge problem in beef herds was the lack of working facilities, fences and barns that took time to rebuild, especially when most families were dealing with having to rebuild/repair their houses. "The dairies also had many fences destroyed and downed trees in pastures in the way of planting winter grazing. That affected production as we rely heavily on winter grazing for nutrition."
An 18-month drought following Katrina and Rita compounded the problems. Salt from the Rita storm surge in southwest Louisiana remained in the soil which affected some ryegrass planting for beef cattle. Economic costs to replace animals and pay for the labor to re-fence (despite donations of amount of fencing materials) were huge.
Wustenberg says re-establishing pasture productivity and the impact on additional purchased feed costs was significant in that the impact can extend in some cases for months to even years depending on the extent of damage. "It can be really difficult for folks because assistance is usually focused on the immediate issues and not the longer-term impacts to productivity and cost."
Louisiana producers also had some problems with rustling of beef cattle. "People showed up with trailers saying they were here to help rescue stranded cattle," Navarre notes. "They loaded them up and were never seen again, and tags were cut out." As a result, many of the producers have gone back to branding.
Though she doesn't know if it's related, Navarre has seen an increase in reports of clostridial diseases in both adult and young cattle this spring. "We have no way of knowing if this is a delayed effect of hurricanes/drought or both," she says.
How to be prepared
Knoll believes veterinarians can be key players in disaster preparedness. "Flooding like we've experienced this summer has reminded us how important contingency plans are. The State of Wisconsin has been recruiting veterinarians to join the Wisconsin Veterinary Corps. This is a group of veterinarians that undergo training and volunteer to help out in the case of disease outbreaks or natural disasters. An event like this year's floods provides incentive for us to put more emphasis on disaster preparedness."
Navarre agrees. "Veterinarians need to be ready to respond to their producers' needs, or more importantly, help the producers prepare in advance. They also need to know how to prepare their practices. Those were very hard times for our veterinarians' businesses during and after the hurricanes."
Navarre adds that an important area in emergency preparedness is having a well-vaccinated herd. "We want them to be ready if they have to be moved or commingled. We don't want to wait until the event is under way." Another aspect of preparedness, she says, is having premises identification.
Wustenberg suggests helping clients develop emergency plans for moving animals, getting facilities cleaned up and sourcing feed and bedding post-flooding. "It is important to involve the state department of agriculture, including the state veterinarians and the local emergency and relief agencies," he says. "We have been working with the local 911 folks to see if there is a way to coordinate folks who need animals moved with folks that have trailers and can get there to help."
Last year Wustenberg says they were able to identify areas where they were under the most pressure to re-establish milking and milk delivery to the plant. "We were able to communicate this to the road crews and folks working on establishing power so that they could better focus their activities. They, in turn, could give us information on when they were going to have power and roads re-established so we could better coordinate the milk hauling and producer activities."

Romero Osby finished his formal interview session at the NCAA Tournament on Thursday afternoon and grabbed the name placard in front of him on the dais.
Rookie mistake. A tournament media official politely explained that they might need it for the post-game interview session Friday night. He could have it then.
And that's Osby, Oklahoma's most (and only) experienced player in the NCAA Tournament. He went as a freshman before transferring from Mississippi State. Played 12 minutes. Had three points and two rebounds.
It seems almost too good to be true, San Diego State's matchup against 10th-seeded Oklahoma at the Wells Fargo Center on Friday night (6:20 p.m. PDT, TBS). The Aztecs have a combined 15 games of NCAA Tournament experience on their roster; the Sooners have Osby's 12 minutes.
Oklahoma also isn't terribly big and unable to exploit SDSU's lack of an interior presence. And SDSU coach Steve Fisher has won eight of the last nine meetings with Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger. And the Sooners come to Philadelphia having lost three of five, blowing 22-point lead to Texas and trailing by 25 to lowly TCU and blowing a 14-point lead to Iowa State, and they've missed 31 of their last 34 attempts behind the 3-point line.
And the Aztecs have an offense designed to combat Kruger's famed halfcourt pressure defense from his Mountain West days at UNLV. And they'll be wearing white uniforms as the higher seed, and they're 14-0 this season in white.
And the Sooners, by all accounts, are just happy to be here.
So what's the catch?
"I think if you're not careful, if it's the first time for you," Fisher said, "some teams can be caught up and overwhelmed a little bit with this – the press, all the things that are demanded of you, the 40-minute shootaround where everybody watches. All of that, it can affect you.
"Other teams that are young, that are freshmen or first-timers, it doesn't affect them at all ... And I have been around long enough to see teams that have limped in (the tournament) and gotten to a Final Four."
The point is, you just don't know in the NCAA Tournament. That's the catch. Expected stuff happens. Weird stuff happens.
It can be March Madness. It can also be March maddening.
A year ago, the Aztecs faced an 11th-seeded team in North Carolina State that had 12 fewer minutes of tournament experience than Oklahoma. And lost 79-65.
"They've got all the tournament experience, we've got none," Kruger said. "But our guys, sometimes when you're not totally sure what you're going into, you're better for it sometimes."
Fisher is 14-6 all-time against Kruger, dating to their days in the Big Ten (Fisher at Michigan, Kruger at Illinois), but he also knows the games historically have been close and, to use his words, "somewhat bizarre." None moreso than in Kruger's first season at UNLV, in his first trip to what was then known as Cox Arena.
The Aztecs led 81-71 with 19 seconds left.
The Aztecs lost 93-91 in overtime after the Rebels outscored them 11-1 over the final, yes, 18 seconds of regulation.
"I intentionally hadn't brought that up because I know how painful it was for him," Kruger said Thursday when asked about the 2005 game. "Everything that could have gone wrong for them did. Everything that needed to go right for us did. We made a 3 at the buzzer to get it into overtime … Just one of those things that's hard to explain, but it did happen."
Said Fisher: "(Kruger) genuinely felt bad after the game. Not as bad as I did, but he felt bad."
They'll shake hands again Friday night, and either the tournament will have delivered another confounding upset or the Aztecs will have brushed aside Oklahoma with the relaxed and professional demeanor they exhibited Thursday. They didn't try to snatch any placards at the press conference. They launched their traditional midcourt shots at the end of practice, and whooped and hollered when walk-on Narbeh Ebrahimian drained his. Then they bused across town to Temple University for a closed workout to fine-tune the game plan.
"I've been to this tournament every single year," senior guard Chase Tapley said, "so I'm accustomed to the festivities and everything, just the whole experience."
"There are no jitters, you're not nervous," said Jamaal Franklin, making his third trip to the Big Dance. "You're happy to be here, but you're not excited and overanxious. We've already been here before, so we're expecting to just play our game."
Which should be enough. Right?
"The NCAA Tournament was one of our goals," Oklahoma forward Amath M'Baye said. "But as long as we're here, we might as well get a couple Ws as well."

Busy schedules can make enjoying a healthy home-cooked meal challenging. Wok cooking is a tasty solution to beating the clock and enjoying more time for fun in the sun as the weather warms up. I've had my wok for about 20 years now. It's one of the first kitchen gifts I ever bought myself when I was a teenager and up watching late-night infomercials—I've been hooked ever since. It gets pretty hot with the flame turned up, especially during summertime, so that's when I switch to the electric skillet. Here are some of time-tested tricks for making stir-fries.
Ready, Set, Cook— Have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go. Once you start sautéing, the whole cooking process moves fast. This includes pre-measuring sauces too!
Lean Cuisine— Slice meats like chicken, beef and pork very thin so they cook quickly.
Tofu 101— Buy an extra-firm variety and drain any excess liquid. Cut the block into ¾-inch thick slices and layer them between paper towels on a dish. Place a cutting board on top layer and weigh down with a heavy pot or skillet. Let sit about 10 minutes, discard the wet towels and you can then finish preparing the tofu according to the recipe.
Orange & Sesame Stir-Fried Tofu
serves four
1 orange, cut into 1/4-inch thick triangles
1 clove garlic, smashed
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Splash of white wine, optional
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 pound extra-firm tofu, drained and cubed
Fistful of fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
- Place the oranges in a deep bowl and mash them until juices are released (my bar muddler worked perfect for this step). Add garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, white wine, if using, salt and pepper. Stir with a fork, using the same motion as scrambling an egg. Add tofu and cilantro, toss well to coat with a rubber spatula. Let sit, covered in a refrigerator, two hours or overnight.
- Separately drain the tofu and orange slices, reserving the marinating liquid. Heat olive oil in a wok or deep skillet. Add tofu and sauté on high heat until nicely browned on all sides; transfer to a dish to keep warm (you may need to do this in two batches depending on size of work or skillet). Add the orange slices to the skillet and sauté until heated through. Return the tofu to the wok, add the sesame seeds and reserved marinating liquid. Toss well, and sauté two more minutes. Serve with hot jasmine rice.

Category: names of movie characters
The Golden Globe nominations are out and the Oscar hopefuls will soon follow, but somehow or other they've neglected to even consider a key category: the most interesting, innovative character names of 2009.
So we've put together a list of possible nominees. Of course, since there were more than 700 movies released (or about to be) this year, we couldn't get to see every cast list of every native and foreign film, but we did look at most of the major releases. In the list below, you'll find some quirky sci-fi choices and exotic options from other cultures. Some of the names will be familiar from previous Harry Potter and Twilight and Star Trek franchises, so we tread lightly there. And there's the usual caveat–we make no moral judgments, so both good guys and bad guys, saints and sinners are included.
AGNESS — It's Complicated
BLISS — Whip It
CORBI — Whip It
BELLATRIX — Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
ÉLOÏSE — Summer Hours
EMILIENNE — Coco Before Chanel

Probably not a good way, in my opinion. Aristocrat is usually associated with 'elite' or the highest social class, almost a caste.
"Birth makes no Brahmin, nor non-Brahmin, makes; it is life's doing that mold the Brahmin true.
Their lives mold farmers, tradesmen, merchants, and serfs. Their lives mold robbers, soldiers,
chaplains, and kings. By birth is not one an out-caste. By birth is not one a Brahmin. By deeds is
one an out-caste. By deeds is one a Brahmin."

Paññāsikhara wrote:Many theories have been proposed as to why there is no further evidence of these civilizations after ~1500 BCE. European continental philologists[1] of the 19th century proposed a theory of an Indo-European "Āryan" language root (later adapted to an ethnic root by others), encompassing the ancient languages and religions (and races) of Europe, India and beyond. Although philologically and linguistically brilliant, such theories abounded with cultural, religious and political agendas. This theory was then linked to a theory that the Āryan peoples "invaded" north west India ~1500 BCE, bringing their Vedic religion with them.[2]
Paññāsikhara wrote:Although philologically and linguistically brilliant, such theories abounded with cultural, religious and political agendas.
The descendents of the Aryan colonists were called Sinhala, after their city, Sinhapura, which was founded by Sinhabahu, the lion-armed king. The lion-armed descendents are the present Sinhalese, whose ancestors had never been conquered, and in whose veins no savage blood is found. Ethnologically, the Sinhalese are a unique race, inasmuch as they can boast that they have no slave blood in them, and never were conquered by either pagan Tamils or European vandals who for three centuries devastated the land, destroyed ancient temples, burnt valuable libraries, and nearly annihilated historic race.
Paññāsikhara wrote:The meaning of "ariyan" as used by the Buddha is, ironically quite the opposite of this. The basic entry point of such a state of sanctity is the removal of the view "me & mine". Ultimately, there could be no such association with even the physical body or mental states, let alone "my people, my race, my nation".
"He lives, having pervaded, with the thought of compassion, one quarter; likewise the second; likewise the third; likewise the fourth; so above, below, and across; he dwells, having pervaded because of the existence in it of all living beings, everywhere, the entire world, with the great, exalted, boundless thought of compassion that is free of hate or malice."

As I have mentioned to you before, I love this blog post. Whenever I am arguing with someone about the use of sprocs I just point them staight at this and pretty soon they are building UDFs.
Just wanna say thanks (again) for writing this.
Thanks a lot. I've been trying to solve a SSIS problem the whole day, and this has solved it. I've changed my stored proc to a function and now things are working.
(I am just confused why in other SSIS packages the stored procs worked...)
Hi Adam,
I have to agree with you that UDFs are a better solution for the OUTPUT contract. But, I'd like to mention that this kind of discussion always opens that can of worms: should you or should you not use SPs? That's where the discussion goes retarded(no, not parochial, retarded). Working with big databases will always force you to use SPs, but once you agreed that SPs are wrong...
TVF should always be used if you are simply reading from tables (and not doing inserts, deletes, updates).
There are other advantages with TVF: Avoiding code duplication and minimizing network traffic.
Take for example, you have two apps, app1 and app2. Both apps queries against the same table but app1 only needs columns 1-5; app2 needs columns 2, 3 and 6-10.
With SPs, you either have to either write two SP that does essentially the same thing but select different columns or modify the SP signature and add conditional logic to format the output.
For each app, you can simply select the columns you need from the TVF. The TVF will return only the columns you want. No code duplication, no extra columns/row returned.
Thanks, I was thinking this was the case but your post summed it all up nice and clearly.
Just to throw this in, as of SQL Server 2005 I think INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_COLUMNS contains info about all the columns returned in TVFs.
Thanks for writing this, helped me one day and today I referred someone to it to fix his problem.

Toothache and root canal
I have a painful toothache from 2 teeth that are already dead. I had a root canal 20 years ago with one and 10 years ago with the other. I began to feel a little discomfort with them 5 days ago and on the second day I began to feel sick. I feel like I have the flu, but the toothache is getting worse. I don`t know why my teeth hurt so bad since both are dead.
I thought I had grinded my teeth the night before causing the discomfort, but now the pain is almost unbearable. There is no swelling that I can see, no food or holes in either tooth. One of the teeth is fake (put into the root with a post) and the other is only half fake (broken in half and had a root canal before getting a crown). So what could be the cause of my pain? Why do I feel like I`ve got the flu?
This could be a case of re-infection of the root canal. The symptoms you are describing are very characteristic of an active infectious process. Even though the tooth has been treated with a root canal, there could exist a microscopic leakage through the crown with saliva and bacteria.
This situation could dissolve the sealer that attaches the crown to the tooth and also the sealer of the root canal itself. Thus, the passage of bacteria again to the canal area would create an infection, similar to what happens when the nerve of a tooth gets infected. The tooth can be re-treated with a root canal if possible. Sometimes there will be many existing variables that will not allow for the re-treatment to be highly successful.
Hence, extraction of the tooth in question might be necessary. An infection that presents flu-like symptoms should be considered seriously, and the treatment of the infected tooth should be done ASAP in conjunction with antibiotic therapy. Antibiotics alone will not cure the infection source.

Groundbreaking Scheduled for Little River Turnpike
Office of Public Affairs
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
May 30, 2003
Groundbreaking Scheduled for Little River
John Marr Drive Streetscape Improvements in Annandale
A groundbreaking ceremony will take place on Wednesday, June 11, to commemorate the start of construction of the Little River Turnpike/John Marr Drive Streetscape Improvements in Annandale. The ceremony will be held at 4 p.m. along the John Marr Drive frontage of the Kmart store, 4251 John Marr Drive.
The Little River Turnpike/John Marr Drive Streetscape project is part of the Annandale Commercial Revitalization Initiative. The project improvements extend along Little River Turnpike from Backlick Road to John Marr Drive along the service drive, and along John Marr Drive from Little River Turnpike to Columbia Pike. The project includes both streetscape and minor roadway improvements.
Streetscape enhancements will include brick paver sidewalks/crosswalks, bus shelters, benches, trash receptacles, landscaping, undergrounding of overhead utilities, decorative acorn streetlighting, signal replacement and upgrade at the John Marr Drive/Little River Turnpike intersection, curb and gutter/driveway replacement or repair, and street sign upgrades. The roadway improvements are limited to the retiming and reconfiguration of the traffic signal at the intersection of John Marr Drive and Columbia Pike, and the lengthening of the northbound John Marr Drive left turn lane at this intersection to provide added capacity for vehicles turning west onto Columbia Pike.
Funding for the project is from commercial revitalization bonds. Construction cost for this project is an estimated $2.8 million.
For more information about the Little River Turnpike/John Marr Drive Streetscape Improvements, call Frank Roberts, project manager, or Larry Ichter, chief, Transportation Design Branch, Planning and Design Division, Department of Public Works and Environmental Services at 703-324-5800, TTY 711 (Virginia Relay Center).
