Ever wondered what it would be like to see a train wreck unfold before your very eyes?
To see a car (unoccupied, of course) stall at a crossing and a fully loaded locomotive nail it head on and fling it down the track a mile or two?
Well, 11,884 fans witnessed that Saturday night at the 'Dome when the Calgary Roughnecks, in the role of a wee Ford Fiesta, were demolished 17-7 by the Colorado Mammoth in their final National Lacrosse League regular-season tilt.
It was a game Calgary had to win to host a playoff tilt next weekend. Instead, they now open the post-season on the road in Denver.
So, the burning question is: Can the Roughnecks make themselves road worthy by next weekend for a long drive in the playoffs?
Calgary finished the season losing two straight to the Mammoth and were outscored 28-15.
Saturday's game was the most important of the year and the Roughnecks responded to the pressure by suffering their worst home loss since they were blown out 32-17 by the defunct Montreal Express in their inaugural game in 2001.
The Riggers gave up a season-high 17 goals and scored a season-low seven.
They were outhustled, outplayed and completely dominated in the second half when the Mammoth outscored them 12-3.
All season long, the Roughnecks spoke of the importance of securing a home playoff game.
For a team with a small ownership group, hosting a post-season tilt meant a lot to the bottom line.
Which is why Saturday night's devastating loss was all the more disappointing and concerning.
Consider this: On a team chock-full of some of the biggest names in the league, undrafted rookie Jeremy Cheyne -- making his first NLL start -- was the star of the game for Calgary scoring twice and playing with an intensity not matched by most of his teammates.
Late in the game when frustrations boiled over for the Roughnecks, they went looking to start trouble and a few fights but Colorado would have no part of it.
The Mammoth was there to win a lacrosse game.
The same couldn't be said for Calgary.
Captain Tracey Kelusky -- held without a goal -- was pragmatic about the loss.
The team played terribly, did most everything wrong and spent too much time worrying about the extra-curricular stuff, he agreed.
In short, they have to play completely different if they want to beat Colorado next time around.
They have to regroup and refocus.
As Kelusky said, the regular season is over and the playoffs are a whole new ball game.
Easy to say but after two tough losses to Colorado, the Mammoth clearly have the confidence, the momentum and Calgary's number heading into Round 3.
On paper, this year's edition of the Roughnecks is arguably the best the organization has ever assembled.
General manager Kurt Silcott, in his first season, put together a roster deep in talent with veteran experience and youthful skill.
Most pundits picked them to win the West Division and take a serious run at the Champion's Cup.
Some within the organization predicted a 13-3 record.
The Riggers finished 9-7 and in third place.
Perhaps fans take solace in one fact.
Calgary, with that record, now must win potentially twice on the road to make the championship game.
That's the same record and same road they travelled when they won it all in 2004 and ended up hosting the championship game.
Still, after Saturday night, this year's journey appears a much tougher trek.

Be Active Your Way Blog
In the military community the Defense Commissary Agency is actively engaged in promoting fitness on the military installation. Physical fitness of Sailors is a critical part of operational readiness and meeting deployment schedules. In support of this effort, sailors stationed at the San Diego Naval Base in California participated in a groundbreaking fitness event in front of the commissary that was supported by the base Commanding Officer Capt. Rick Williamson. Morale, Welfare and Recreation representatives teamed up with San Diego Commissary employees and provided fitness events for the entire week to include a stage, rock climbing wall and professional trainers. Approximately 250 sailors were on hand to do physical training exercises Feb. 14. Later in the week, the commissary held a 1.5K run, and MWR provided 100 exercise bikes for them to work out on. All in all, a variety of challenging physical activities was included in the busy week.
Many of the sailors enjoyed the variety of physical activity events coordinated during the week. This program succeeded because base leadership, MWR and the commissary planned and worked together at the military installation level to make it happen. Moving forward, the commissaries will continue to work with military community leaders to create events that support the focus on fitness for both service members and families on installations.
To engage the military community in the fitness program:
For relevant information look at the Navy Operational Fitness and Fueling System (NOFFS) at: http://www-nehc.med.navy.mil/Healthy_Living/Physical_Fitness/NOFFS.aspx
The NOFFS provides the Navy with a performance training resource for sailors and health and fitness professionals.
What are some things you are doing to actively engage your community in fitness?

Good Points
John Thaw plays a good Tom Oakley.
Bad Points
The children's acting is, to be blunt, about as convincing as Flash Gordon (probably why the film focused on Tom and William's relationship). To be fair most children are OK, but Nick Robinson (played William Beech), who just so happened to be the one we see most of, had facial expressions and voice acting which were often amusing because they were so bad. Why they chose him is beyond me. Significant portions of the book were skipped and the whole thing was really condensed and accelerated, and major characters were put on the side line. To be fair, it was a TV film and produced in a short time, so they couldn't put to much in lest the already poor and attention deficient film gets worse.
An alright film if you haven't read the book, but a story of this kind needs to be slower. If you've read the book this will tarnish your memories of it.

Black Cops Dump White Quadriplegic Out of Wheelchair ON VIDEO and No One Cares
By now, with the events in Ferguson, we all know that there is a great deal of double standards in the media. A video has resurfaced from a 2008 incident that shows something the media paid little attention to, most likely because it didn't play along with the agenda of a racist America that they are usually trying to push.
In this INCREDIBLE video, you see a police officer throw a quadriplegic man out of his wheelchair on to the floor, simply because the officer didn't believe he was actually quadriplegic.
As the media and politicians continue to split the nation apart and set America back decades on race relations, keep this video in mind. Where was the outrage and anger for this quadriplegic man? Where were the calls for "justice"? Where were the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons of the world when this happened?
There are three things we can take away from the resurfacing of this video:
1. There were no calls of racism and demands for retaliation, even though the victim was white and the police officer who flipped him out of the chair was black.
2. People did not begin large-scale riots, tearing the city apart demanding the firing (or worse) of the police officer involved.
3. The media made very little note of the situation.

Models and Measurements for Investigating Atmospheric Transport and Photochemistry of HgEPA Grant Number: R829799
Title: Models and Measurements for Investigating Atmospheric Transport and Photochemistry of Hg
Investigators: Keeler, Gerald J. , Al-Wali, Khalid , Sillman, Sanford , Xu, Xiaohong
Current Investigators: Keeler, Gerald J. , Sillman, Sanford
Institution: University of Michigan
EPA Project Officer: Stelz, Bill
Project Period: November 1, 2002 through October 31, 2005 (Extended to October 31, 2006)
Project Amount: $899,597
RFA: Mercury: Transport, Transportation, and Fate in the Atmosphere (2001) RFA Text | Recipients Lists
Research Category: Mercury , Air Quality and Air Toxics , Safer Chemicals , Air
Description:The project will aim to develop a 3-d Eulerian model for transport and photochemistry of mercury, including fully integrated gas-phase, aqueous and aerosol chemistry. It also seeks to develop detailed comparisons between model results and measurements from two field campaigns: a recently completed field campaign in south Florida and campaigns currently being conducted for the Midwest. Model results will be used to investigate several research questions associated with mercury: the impact of local anthropogenic emissions relative to transport from distant sources (located more than 800 km away); the role of current anthropogenic emissions relative to re-volatilization from soils; the impact of photochemical processes on the atmospheric transport and transformation of mercury; and the relative importance of cloud processes and cloud chemistry of mercury in precipitating systems. A major objective will be to interpret measurements that might provide evidence on the above issues.
Approach:The Community Model for Air Quality (CMAQ) will be modified to include emissions, transport and chemistry of elemental and reactive mercury. The model currently includes 3-d transport and photochemistry of ozone, reactive nitrogen and aerosols. The CMAQ numerical solver for photochemistry will be extended to include fully integrated gas-phase and aqueous chemistry, including all relevant reactions for mercury. Updated atmospheric reaction rates for mercury will be incorporated into the model as they become available.
Model applications will be initially developed in association with the SAMPEX 2000 field campaign in southern Florida. A second series of model applications will be developed based on field measurements currently being conducted in Michigan and planned for the upper Midwest in 2003. Model evaluation and comparison with measurements will focus on a series of correlations between individual species: elemental versus reactive mercury; correlations among various forms of reactive mercury; and correlations between mercury and sulfate, reactive nitrogen, O3 and CO.
Expected Results:Results include the development of a comprehensive 3-dimensional Eulerian model, including a version that will be made available to the regulatory community. It will provide the first model-based analysis of the impact of local emissions, transport, soil revolatilization and photochemistry on the deposition of mercury. Model-measurement comparisons will identify errors in the current understanding of atmospheric processes, transport, and chemistry of mercury. By identifying species that can be used to evaluate mercury transport and photochemistry, the project will also provide information useful for the development of future field campaigns.

Albrechto is an adware program that displays tons of popup messages with coupons, discounts and various offers on the infected system. Most of the popups appear when users visit such websites like Ebay, Amazon, Walmart and other electronic stores. This technique ensures that more users will click on these popups as when we tend to look for ways to purchase things cheaper. Although Albrechto deals may seem like useful messages, they can make our browsing experience very unpleasant.
The main goal of this program is to make money for advertising a bunch of websites. The creators of Albrechto add these pages on each popup so when the user clicks on it, he or she will end up visiting one of the advertised websites. It is one of very efficient ways to advertise any unknown page and increase its traffic. However, it causes hard time for the users who got infected. Not only it is very annoying to keep receiving these popups while browsing, but they can reroute you to some compromised websites and pose risk for your computer to be infected.
You can easily avoid Albrechto as it is installed to computers with free programs that users are downloading from the Internet by themselves. It was noticed to be bundled with 1ClickDownload, Superfish, Yontoo and FBPhotoZoom. Follow the installation steps every time you are installing a new music player, video recorder or other freeware. All additional programs are usually listed at one of the installation steps. Sometimes they will be marked as recommended programs. You should always deselect options to install any applications that you are not aware of.
To remove Albrechto, you will have to use a reputable antispyware program, for example, Reimage, SpyHunter, hitman or any other legitimate tool and they will eliminate this annoying application. Don't forget to upgrade it to its newest version to ensure the best detection and removal of unwanted programs.
Automatic Albrechto removal tools
Manual removal
Important Note: Although it is possible to manually remove Albrechto, such activity can permanently damage your system if any mistakes are made in the process, as advanced spyware parasites are able to automatically repair themselves if not completely removed. Thus, manual spyware removal is recommended for experienced users only, such as IT specialists or highly qualified system administrators. For other users, we recommend using Reimage or other tools found on 2-viruses.com.

Webber underwhelmed with third place

- Mark Webber

- Red Bull
Mark Webber admitted it wasn't an exciting race as he finished third in the Monaco Grand Prix.
Starting from fourth, Webber held station at the start of the race and only managed to make up one place when he jumped Lewis Hamilton as the Mercedes pit during a safety car period. Having struggled with his starts in recent races Webber said it was "sod's law" he couldn't benefit from a good one in Monaco, but that it was solely a race of tyre preservation from that point.
"For us, we knew it was a little bit against us starting from the second row but I got an absolutely incredible start," Webber said. "Sod's law is it's the shortest run to the first corner, so I think Seb and I had nowhere to go really so we were lifting because obviously Nico and Lewis looked like they had pretty tricky ones so we'll try and save some of those starts for future reference.
"After that it was just basically saving the tyres and making the one-stop work. It was completely predictable that if the race was going to stack up then the two-stop was not really an option to come back in to traffic. So we had to go very long, all of the drivers were nursing the cars very aggressively.
"It was nice to get Lewis; obviously it's never nice to lose positions around the stops so I'm sure he's not too pleased with it but in the end we'll take that position. It was difficult to get the restarts going on the primes but in general just really driving round, saving the tyres and waiting for the chequered flag."

Golf manufacturer launches gadgets to help senior golfers get more from their game
June 2015: Around 25 million Americans play golf and retired men and women who enjoy a game several times a week still account for around half of all rounds played.
Northcroft Golf, leading golf gadget manufacturer has launched two new products, which are ideal for senior golfers who have a passion for the game but may not find bending down for the tee and ball as easy as it once was. The Tee-Up which is specifically designed to cut out the need to bend and allows stable placement and removal of the tee and ball. The BAMP picks up the ball, allows the golfer to mark the ball and lift the marker - all without having to bend. Both products are endorsed by golfing legend, Sam Torrance OBE.
John Bennett, managing director of Northcroft Golf says: "Golf is going through a difficult time and our research with older players shows our products provide one simple solution that can enable golfer to keep playing for longer. Unfortunately many members just give up the game, because of physical impairment, without realising that there is an option available to them."
"Golf clubs today are having an increasing proportion of older members with players in their eighties expected to triple over the next five years. For the health of the players and the clubs, older golfers need to be supported in playing for as long as practical." Added John Bennett.
Golf is not just walking and swinging the upper body, it involves a lot of bending or squatting – to place balls on tees, place and pick up markers or balls and collect the ball from the cup at the end of each hole. So, there comes a time when back, hips and knees become less flexible, hands become less steady and retired golfers consider retiring from golfing. Players with trembling hands can find it difficult to place the ball and players recovering from hip or knee operation, who still want to play, have to observe caution.
A recent survey of their customers by British manufacturer Northcroft Golf conclusively demonstrated that their Tee-Up can extend a golfer's playing life by several years. The problem is not just putting the ball on the tee, but making sure it is not knocked off the tee as the placing device is removed. The Tee-Up has a patented stabilising spigot that rests on the ground behind the ball on its tee to compensate for hand tremors; it is lightweight, robust (comes with a lifetime guarantee) and stows easily in a golf bag or on its specially designed bag attachment. Using the Tee-Up, the golfer loads the ball and tee into the jaws and while still standing upright is then is able to place the ball and tee onto the teeing ground. Then after playing the shot picks up the tee.
Northcroft recently signed up Sam Torrance, the 62 year-old vice-captain of last year's Europe Ryder Cup team as an ambassador for the Northcroft Tee-Up. "The Tee-Up eliminates bending and even compensates for trembling hands. It works and is high quality. I believe it will help players to play the game we all love." says Torrance.
Golf is worth around $68.8 billion a year to the US economy according to the World Golf Foundation, but the game is under pressure as it has started to decline in popularity; attracting fewer new players and losing both casual players and older players. Golf appearing in the 2016 Olympics, for the first time since 1904, will, it is hoped, provide a new stimulus. There is also much talk of shorter fairways, shorter courses and even bigger holes being introduced to the game to attract newer time-challenged younger players. However, it's still the senior players that are the mainstay for the Golf clubs.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Lorderdale Early Origins
Berwickshire where they held a family seat on the English/Scottish border. After the Norman Conquest of England many of Duke William's rebellious Barons moved north. The border became a convenient no-man's land. Notable families such as the Percy, the Umfravilles and the Nevilles gathered many supporting clans around them. In the 16th century they became known as the 'unruly clans'. In that century, many of those clans drove their herds south, and they settled in Yorkshire and Lancashire. The name was first recorded in 1472 in Latherdale in West Berwickshire.
Lorderdale Spelling Variations
Lorderdale Spelling Variations
During the era when a person's name, tribe and posterity was one of his most important possessions, many different spellings were found in the archives examined. Lorderdale occurred in many references, and spelling variations of the name found included Lauderdale, Latherdale, Lawderdale, Lauderdall, Lauderdal, Lorderdale and many more.

The Great Migration
Gradually becoming disenchanted with life in Ireland many of these uprooted families sailed aboard the armada of sailing ships known as the "White Sails" which plied the stormy Atlantic. These overcrowded ships often arrived with only 60 to 70% of their original passenger list, many dying of illness and the elements, were buried at sea. In North America, early immigrants bearing the family name Lorderdale, or a spelling variation of the surname include: the name represented in many forms and recorded from the mid 17th century in the great migration from Europe. Migrants settled in the eastern seaboard from Newfoundland, to Maine, to Virginia, the Carolinas, and to the islands. Robert Lauderdale settled in New York in 1812..

El Dueno is a new climb in the Sandia mountains, New Mexico.
The route was set up by John Kear and Marc Ripperger of Albuquerque, both are certified mountain guides in the summer of 2009. I had the privilege to climb it with Brian Muggs, who is a friend to both guys mentioned above. I was the 5th person to climb this route.
The route is not described in Sandia Mountains climbing books since it is new, however you can obtain topo and description in Albuquerque's climbing gym Stone Age.
How To Get ThereStart from the top of Sandia Crest Parking Lot. Walk to the northwest corner of the parking lot (towards the radio towers). Follow the same approach gully as if going to The Sentinel. From the north end of the chain link fence that runs in front of the crest observation point hike directly down. There will be a small trail. Down climb the limestone band and make your way down the ridge that lies between Chimney Canyon and upper La Cueva Canyon. From the notch at the Sentinel descent hike up and over the notch to the south. Skirt the base of the rock formation and continue down the gully for approximately 400 meters. The climb begins at the base of a clean low angle slab.
Route Description
Pitch 1: Follow a slabby groove up and trend to your right, clip a bolt (about 40 feet up, use pro below and in between the bolts) and pull onto a ledge below a rock scar where the wall steepens. Traverse right and clip another bolt and pull over a small bulge and move left to belay. Rated at 5.6 and about 90 feet long.
Pitch 2 : Continue up low angle slab (the start is very easy) and cross the water streak move through the left facing overlaps and clip a bolt. Pull onto the slabby face right of the bolt (crux). Traverse right into corner system and belay from the obvious tree. 5.7+, about 90 feet long.
Pitch 3: From the belay trend up and left into a crack system, follow the crack and face features, and continue into a shallow corner belay at the ledge. 5.6, about 100 feet long
Pitch 4: Traverse right 15 feet and pull through a small exposed roof. Traverse right and pull into a right facing corner. Step up the corner and move out right to a short finger crack that brings you to the top. Belay from a tree. 5.6, about 80 feet long.
Descent: walk off from the top following the Sentinel approach back to the crest.
Standard rack, doubles on 0.5 and 0.75. 60 meter rope sufficient. Gear to create anchors.
Pitch 1 has 2 bolts (+ you need some gear to protect it), bolts were placed on slabby sections with hard to find gear placements). Natural anchor.
Pitch 2 has one bolt, tree anchor
Pitch 3 has no fixed gear, all trad, natural anchor
Pitch 4 has no fixed gear, tree anchor.

After another day of confusion around the Government's plans for increased surveillance powers, it now appears there is some back-tracking and the bill will only be a 'draft'.
Here's an update of some key points, while Privacy International have highlighted some serious issues with a briefing given to Liberal Democrat MPs.
Key issues:
- The Coalition Agreement pledged: "We will end the storage of internet and email records without good reason."
- The plans are expected to be announced in the Queen's speech, meaning it is almost impossible they become law before the Olympics
- Plans to install GCHQ's own physical equipment to give them real-time access to data appear incompatable with proper judicial oversight of surveillance
- The new proposals may remove the ability of service providers to challenge requests for data – Google last year only complied with 63% of requests
- It is far from clear if this is technically possible, particularly where secure communications are used and it is impossible to expose 'header' information without also exposing content.
- This will cost taxpayers billions, but also mean businesses incur new costs at a time when the Government is asking them to invest in high-speed internet infrastructure
- The fact that this is not a 'central' database is being used as a smokescreen to detract from Lib Dem and Conservative promises in opposition
- The 7/7 Inquest Coroner's report discusses the issues involved with large amounts of data and surveillance: One point states "It is unlikely these could have been detected by surveillance given the large number of untraceable "operational" phones used by the bombers and only attributed to them once their identities and details were known."
Compare and contrast:
Jacqui Smith: "Communications data is used as important evidence in 95% of serious crime cases and in almost all security service operations since 2004."
Theresa May: "Such data has been used in every security service terrorism investigation and 95 per cent of serious organised crime investigations over the last ten years."
A final word from the Prime Minister, David Cameron:
"Faced with any problem, any crisis – given any excuse – Labour grasp for more information, pulling more and more people into the clutches of state data capture… And the Government doesn't want to stop with the basic information. They want the most complex, important, personal information there is… Scare tactics to herd more disempowered citizens into the clutches of officialdom, as people surrender more and more information about their lives, giving the state more and more power over their lives. If we want to stop the state controlling us, we must confront this surveillance state."

Workshop 10: How to Write an Award-winning Novel
When award-winning novelists host a workshop on how to write an award-winning novel, attendance is a no-brainer.
Deb Raney's books have won the RITA Award, ACFW's Carol Award, HOLT Medallion, National Readers' Choice Award, Silver Angel, and have twice been Christy Award finalists.
Her buddy and crit partner, Tamera Alexander's books have won Christy Awards, RITA Awards, Gayle Wilson Awards of Excellence, the Bookseller's Best Award, and more.
Raney and Alexander told conferees that award-winning novels have five key elements: Great characters, clearly defined character goals, universal themes, great storytelling, and cinematic elements.
Great characters
Strong characters feel real, Raney (right) said. They are people the reader can believe in and relate to. How do you achieve this?
- Give them believable, well-drawn flaws.
- Make them ultimately kind and likable or—since antagonists can be great characters, too—ultimately wicked and despicable.
- Have them interact with other great characters in compelling ways.
Clearly defined goals
We need to know early on what the story is about and what the characters want.
These goals are both inward and outward, Raney said, and high-stakes. "We need to know early on what the story is about and what the characters want. And if those character goals can be in conflict with each other, all the better."
Goals also need to be consistent with the character's personality while moving them closer to who they long to be.
Universal themes
A universal theme applies to almost everyone in almost all times. The theme of Cinderella, for instance, could be: When a person lives a life of goodness, she'll be rewarded with good things.
"There is not just one theme in every story," Alexander (right) said. "It's a subtle takeaway message, not something the author has to prop up on each page."
Furthermore, any spiritual message enfolded in the theme is organic to the story. Readers should see God in the picture—see that this is the way the character, who hasn't thought about God in a long time, is being confronted by the reality of Him.
Any spiritual message enfolded in the theme (needs to be) organic to the story.
Finally, a universal theme must have takeaway value for the reader's life, as well.
Great storytelling
An award-winning novel has a plot that draws the reader in and compels them forward, Raney said, while including surprises along the way.
The plot is not episodic—it comes full circle. There's poignancy when the author can dovetail the inner journey and the outer journey to the same point.
Cinematic elements
"When you read a great book, it's like a movie playing in your head," Raney said. "If you can enhance that as a writer and make your book as much like a movie as possible, you're that much ahead."
Give the reader the basic outlines and let her fill in the rest to suit her preferences.
To make this work, the reader has to be able to visualize the characters—but not have those characters so finely drawn that the reader doesn't have to be involved. "Let the reader design the outfits," Alexander said. "Give the reader the basic outlines and let her fill in the rest to suit her preferences."
Be sure to include the literary equivalent of cinematic techniques such as jumpcuts, foreshadowing, lighting, music—whatever it takes to keep the reader hooked.
Final thoughts
The perfect beginning
Raney then shared key elements from her workshop, The Perfect Beginning. For details on this see her "Writer's Toolbox" article in a previous issue of Afictionado.
Write where it hurts
In closing, Alexander shared a key point that has helped her take her own writing deeper. She noted that author's of award-winning novels are willing to write where it hurts. "They either have a personal invested hurt in what they're writing about or have taken them time to go there with that hurt," Alexander said. "Writing what you know is good, but writing where you're hurting is even better."
Be realistic
Alexander noted that while winning awards is nice, they don't necessarily translate into increased sales.
"Don't make the award your goal," she said. "A goal is something measurable that you have control over. When the awards come, give God the glory. It feels great to final and win, but every time I've finaled and won, someone else has finaled and not won—and I know how that feels."
In the end, after you've done your best, the awards and recognition are in God's hands, Raney said. "Write the best book you can where you are right now—and leave the rest to God."

Two decades of deadly Balkan conflicts and political paralysis in the former Yugoslavia reached an end point early Thursday morning as Ratko Mladic, the architect of the worst mass murders and the Serbian militia leader responsible for sieges in the 1990s, was arrested after 16 years in hiding.
"A difficult period of our history is over and Serbia's reputation is no longer tarnished … it is good for Serbia that it has closed this chapter of our history," president Boris Tadic announced Thursday, declaring that the country's Security Information Agency had arrested the warlord.
Serbian media reported that Mr. Mladic was already in flight to the Hague, in the Netherlands, where he will face trial for genocide and war-crimes charges at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia alongside his former political master Radovan Karadzic, who was arrested in 2008.
Mr. Mladic had been living in the open in the village of Lazarevo in the south of Serbia, without the long beard and Orthodox clerical robes as used by Mr. Karadzic, according to the Belgrade media outlet B92, which said he has "aged considerably," that one of his arms is paralyzed, and that he gave himself up without resistance.
It appeared that he was living with, or near, other members of the Mladic family.
Retired Canadian major-general Lewis MacKenzie called Mr. Mladic's arrest a positive development for Serbia, which had been accused of not doing enough to capture him.
"It's a little bit like bin Laden, I guess you could say," said Mr. MacKenzie, who commanded UN peacekeeping forces in Sarajevo in 1992. "My guesstimate is it wasn't [government]policy, but certainly he had his followers that would have gone out of their way to hide him."
Mr. Mladic led the militia of the breakaway Republica Srbska, which sought to impose a Serbian identity on the multi-ethnic state of Bosnia; he was the architect of ethnic-cleansing schemes that included the Siege of Sarajevo and, most infamously, the 1995 Srebrenica Massacre in which as many as 8,000 Bosnian Muslim boys and men were systematically executed.
Mr. MacKenzie, who met with Mr. Mladic and Mr. Karadzic several times during the early months of the siege of Sarajevo, remembered Mr. Mladic as a "bully."
"On a number of occasions, he threatened to send my soldiers home in body bags if NATO took any offensive action or air strikes or whatever," he said.
During their negotiations, Mr. Mladic had a habit of recording "every bloody word" of their conversations in tiny handwriting, Mr. MacKenzie said.
"As you're talking to him he's writing down everything - his response and your question, et cetera," he said. "It was this distrust of anybody else. I tell ya, if they could find those books and those diaries, they'd be worth their weight in gold."
The hunt for Mr. Mladic began shortly after he was indicted in 1995 on multiple charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. It intensified after the Balkan wars ended in 2000 with the departure of Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic, whose campaign to Serbianize the former Yugoslavia was part of the political movement that enabled Mr. Mladic's crimes.
The democracy movement that drove Mr. Milosevic from office and delivered him to the Hague seemed determined to bring him to justice - especially as this became a precondition for the removal of trade and visa sanctions against Serbia and its ability to join the European Union.
But he proved particularly elusive, leading many observers in Serbia and in the EU to suspect that he was being protected by Serbian security forces still loyal to Mr. Milosevic.
Many observers in Belgrade feel that the security forces responsible for the assassination of Serbian prime minister and democracy activist Zoran Djindjic in 2003 were also behind the hiding of Mr. Mladic. Belgrade officials would frequently declare that they were on the verge of arresting him, but for "obstacles" in the form of rogue forces.
The arrest marks a political victory for Mr. Tadic, who has promised Serbs better lives and a more open economy based on closer inclusion in the European economy. Mr. Mladic's fugitive status was the one crucial barrier standing in the way of full normalization of relations with Europe; some countries, notably the Netherlands, have rejected efforts to move Serbia toward EU membership based on this.
European leaders cheered Mr. Tadic at the G8 summit in France. "Serbia is a country that has suffered a lot but the fact it has delivered presumed war criminals is very good news," French president Nicolas Sarkozy declared. "It's one more step toward Serbia's integration one day into the European Union."

JAMACHA – The grass on the fairways and greens at the Steele Canyon golf course comes at a steep price.
The annual irrigation cost is more than $500,000, paid to the Otay Water District. To lower costs, golf course owners want to build wells and pump groundwater.
Their proposal has the support of some nearby homeowners, but it has ignited criticism from others who say that using groundwater will draw down the water table and harm a wildlife refuge nearby.
"It's just wrong," said Jack Phillips, chairman of the Valle de Oro planning group. "It's wrong to let something that's a game take a basic public resource in that manner and just waste it."
The issue is scheduled to come before the county Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, after two delays while supervisors waited for more information from federal wildlife officials.
The Valle de Oro and Jamul/Dulzura planning groups, advisory bodies that make land-use recommendations, both oppose the golf course plan. The county Planning Commission voted unanimously against it in June, and earlier this week the Chula Vista City Council agreed to send a letter to supervisors opposing the project. The Otay Water District also is against it.
Mike Mitzel, golf course general manager, said Steele Canyon made a reasonable request to use groundwater running underneath its 150-acre property.
"Everything submitted by the other side is emotionally based and has no backup in facts," he said. "We're not asking for an unlimited use of water."
Staffers in the county Department of Planning and Land Use have recommended approval of Steele Canyon's request.
Supervisor Dianne Jacob, who lives near the golf course and is a member of the Steele Canyon golf club, recused herself when the issue first came before the board Oct. 6. Supervisors Ron Roberts, Greg Cox and Bill Horn indicated support for the project at the meeting. However, they agreed to delay a decision until after U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials reviewed the proposal.
The current dispute harkens back to the promises made when the Steele Canyon golf course was proposed in 1987.
Phillips, a member of the planning group for 24 years, said the advisory body approved Steele Canyon only after its owners promised not to use groundwater. They agreed to buy their irrigation water from the Otay Water District, he said.
Mitzel said the original owners made no such promise. County plans say the golf course can use groundwater after it completes a study of area conditions. The golf course owners have spent more than $2 million to complete a six-year study, Mitzel said.
The owners have proposed pumping up to 600 acre-feet of water a year, the equivalent of more than 195 million gallons annually. Mitzel said the maximum amount would be pumped only when conditions are suitable.
Golf course employees would monitor the groundwater level weekly, and would stop using the water if it fell below a certain level, he said. The proponents and the opponents disagree on what that level should be.
Information on the groundwater level would be verified periodically by an independent hydrologist and county officials, Mitzel said.
Former county hydrologist John Peterson, who works as a consultant for the golf course owners, told supervisors that enough safeguards are in place to prevent nearby wells from drying up.
"I'd like to assure you that this is not Barona," Peterson said, referring to problems with dry wells suffered by neighbors in Lakeside after the Barona golf course and casino began using groundwater.
At the first hearing before supervisors, several of the speakers supported Steele Canyon's proposal. Jim Caputo, president of the Steele Canyon homeowners association, said the 171 members favored using groundwater because it would reduce the use of imported water from the Otay Water District. The groundwater would also be used to irrigate 12 acres of the association's common area.
Only three homeowners who live near the golf course opposed the plan. But they alerted their neighbors, and at the second hearing before the supervisors, more than 100 people showed up to speak in opposition.
Angel Salazar, a homeowner and longtime opponent, said he fears that his well will go dry if the golf course uses groundwater.
"To me, the damage is irreparable that they're going to be causing just so a few can enjoy a golf course," he said.
Mitzel said the golf course has put in a $1 million irrigation system so it doesn't waste water, as some opponents contend. All property owners are entitled to use groundwater, he said.
"We have the same right to water as anyone else who lives in our area," Mitzel said.

Anyway, someone recently asked what the best way to run Terminator is on Mac OS, and I didn't understand what all the fuss was about. I'd been happily running ./bin/terminator from the bash(1) prompt. I assumed that, when I was ready to switch, I'd just go into System Preferences and add the shell script as a new Startup Item.
It turns out that you System Preferences will let you choose a shell script as a Startup Item, but when you log in, nothing will seem to happen, and the console (the one in /Library/Logs/Console/elliotth/console, obviously) will say:
2004-12-31 22:31:31.361 loginwindow[1426] LSOpenFromURLSpec return err = -10814
Which here means "try again with an app bundle instead". You can find this error in the LSInfo.h header file, which suggests that an application might need to claim shell scripts before you can open them like this; experimentation with open(1) concurs.
Seems stupid to me, but I don't make the rules.
To fix the problem, I told make(1) to copy all the necessary files into terminator.app/Contents/Resources, and to write a little shell script called terminator.app/Contents/MacOS/terminator that just execs the real shell script in ../Resources. If I choose that as a Startup Item, Terminator now starts when I log in.
No more Terminal for me.
Yum! Dog food. My favorite!
And already I'm annoyed because Mac OS is still using Java 1.4, where Sun deliberately broke
System.getenv, and with it my ability to click on links in Terminator. I know I'm no worse off than I was two minutes ago, when I was using Terminal, but it's a whole lot more annoying. Tantalus had no idea.
Anyway, if you want Terminator.app you'll have to type make app in the terminator directory. It'll create an app bundle in the parent directory. This doesn't sound like a permanent solution, and all the copying is especially unsuited to my situation as developer: it takes as long to make the app bundle as it does to build all the classes. Maybe I should make a hollow Terminator.app that just has symbolic links to the real project directories?

A report on the effects of a public-safety realignment law intended to reduce the state's prison population says property crime, especially vehicle theft, increased during the first year of its implementation.
The report, titled "Public Safety Realignment and Crime Rates in California," was released Monday night by the Public Policy Institute of California, a nonprofit research institution.
The law went into effect in October 2011 in response to a federal court order for the state to reduce its prison population.
It shifted responsibility for some lower-level nonviolent offenders to county jails and probation officers from state prisons and parole officers. Under realignment, some offenders are released on probation.
About 18,000 offenders who would have been in prison or jail before the policy shift are now on the street, the report said.
During the first year of implementation, property crime overall rose 7.6 percent in the state, the report said. That includes vehicle theft, larceny, and burglary. Nationwide, property crime during the same period decreased slightly, the report said.
Vehicle theft increased 14.8 percent — about 24,000 more thefts per year, the report said. That reversed a decline in the vehicle-theft rate in the state.
Violent crime increased 3.4 percent during the period, but that appeared to be part of a broader trend also experienced by other states, the report said. Violent crime includes murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault.
"Realignment has brought enormous change to California, and it appears to have affected auto thefts in particular," said Magnus Lofstrom, one of the report's co-authors. "Nonetheless, despite recent increases, rates of property and violent crime remain at historically low levels in the state — substantially lower than they were a decade ago."
Lofstrom is a research fellow for the policy institute. The report's other author, Steven Raphael, is a an adjunct fellow and professor of public policy at the University of California Berkeley.
In response to the study, Deborah Hoffman, spokeswoman for the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, said that as the researchers noted, crime rates "remain at historically low levels and are substantially below those observed a decade ago."
Under realignment, "the state is investing hundreds millions of dollars in local rehabilitation and crime-prevention programs to continue to improve public safety in our communities," she said. "The impact of these investments will be measured over years, not months."
Allen Hopper, director of criminal justice and drug policy for the American Civil Liberties Union of California, also commented on the report. He said the research "confirms that realignment has not caused a public safety catastrophe in California."
"We now have independent data that confirms that California can successfully reduce our state's reliance on incarceration," Hopper said.

Searsport, Stockton Springs look to start withdrawal effortsEvery town in RSU 20 pursuing withdrawal
Residents in Searsport and Stockton Springs have gathered enough signatures to allow town officials to schedule a vote to officially start the withdrawal process from Regional School Unit 20.
As part of the withdrawal process, a petition signed by at least 10 percent of the voters who cast a ballot in the 2010 gubernatorial election must be submitted to the town. Once the signatures are received and verified, town officials are required to set a date to hold an election to determine whether residents wish to officially start the withdrawal process.
Officials in Searsport said residents were soliciting signatures over the weekend, but no petitions have been filed with the town as of the morning of Monday, Jan. 13.
Petitioners in Searsport needed to gather 122 valid signatures before an election date can be set to officially start the withdrawal process.
On Tuesday, Jan. 14, Town Clerk Deb Plourde said the town received enough signatures and the petitions would be presented to the board of selectmen at their next meeting on Jan. 21. Plourde said she anticipated the selectmen would set a date for the vote to determine if residents wish to officially start the withdrawal process during that meeting.
Stockton Springs Town Manager Rich Couch said Selectman Lesley Cosmano held an informational forum over the weekend to gauge the interest of residents in starting the withdrawal process. Couch said about 46 residents attended the informational gathering, as well as some residents from Searsport.
Cosmano told The Republican Journal that residents were "overwhelmingly" in favor of moving forward with the withdrawal efforts. She said several residents expressed interest in gathering signatures for the petitions.
Couch said based on election results from the 2010 gubernatorial election, petitioners needed to gather and submit 83 valid signatures before officials can set a date to hold a vote to officially begin the withdrawal process.
As of the morning of Tuesday, Jan. 14, town officials have verified 210 of the required 83 signatures. Like Searsport, Stockton Springs officials anticipated the petitions would be presented to the Board of Selectmen at their next regularly scheduled meeting to set an election date for residents to vote on officially starting the withdrawal process.
Currently, Belfast, Belmont, Morrill, Northport and Searsmont have voted to pursue withdrawal from RSU 20. Swanville has received petitions to hold an election to start the withdrawal process and a vote is scheduled for Jan. 28.
The objectives of the RSU is to run the district more cost effective. Consolidation is only one approach and would need 2/3 of the directors and the individual towns to vote to close their towns schools. Other approaches are to combine classes and increase class sizes.The taxpayers would love for Searsport and Belfast to combine high schools, but the individual towns do not like this arrangement so far and Searsport has fairly new modern schools. The board has a task to keep the RSU together for future savings and I would hope Searsport-Stockton would have a think tank to explore staying together and the board would meet with this group. Right now we have 2.3 million less coming from the state this year so taxes will have to be increased around 20% again; unless we come up with creative approaches.Come to the meetings with ideas and the board will listen. Another figure is misleading is that it costs $17000 per year to send students to Searsport. That figure is high as the actual costs are around $1200 because the high school teachers also teach Middle School. Next Tues. at BAHS Band Room 6:30PM .

Oh yeah, Harold. The Base Closure Committee worked out just find, no rich folks and policitians got involved at that all. But here is an idea that is just insane enough to work. Why don't the 9,900 voters in this RSU that never go to a meeting get off their...computer and go sit through those meetings like the rest of us and see first hand what is happening. That should clear up any misconceptions before they start. I know it's rather rude of me to suggest that people do what there are suppose to be doing in this first place. But I don't really see anyone else telling them. Lead, follow or stay behind & whine.
Listen to me now and believe me later-nothing is going to get done with any of this. Way too much obfuscation, finger pointing, people scared for their jobs or losing their favorite teacher/sports team. The hurdles in place are too high. "It's for the kids" wins every time. Fact is the kids are the ones missing out the most because so much is being wasted on excess. There aren't enough kids to fill all these buildings and employ all these people, simple as that. Could all agree on an outside party-re base closing commission type thing- someone who really doesn't care either way-to formulate a long range sensible plan-I doubt it but that is the only way I see out of this.
Mike is correct when he says that he forwarded me the email that Kristin sent to the people invited to the meeting. I guess she couldn't find an email address, convientently provided in the byline of the town columnist for the past year. But Mike did forward. He didn't say, "y'all come on down." He gave her my email address and advised her that he forwarded her email to me. So, it was kind of a confusing invitation. However I didn't have anything else to add anyway. I think the problem is that one is trying to get a bigger the slice of the pie at the expense of the other. That's not going to work.
Mike and I got the confusion all cleared up today with emails. It does get confusing. Roxanne just had to quell a rumor about the of the recent BOD video. I just recently had to clear one up that she started about me trying to replace all the paid professionals with volunteers. It's a jungle our here. But, we're trying.
just a small point here: I sent an invitation to Jeff Davis at his home email to invite him to the Jan. 9 meeting. At the same time we were fielding letters from the Stockton select board pressuring us on who was "authorized" to speak for Stockton (when no one on the committee was authorized by anyone to speak on behalf of any town) and making it very clear that they did not approve of Jeff participating. When Jeff did not show up we assumed he'd decided not to participate. All I can say was we made every effort to invite and include representatives from Stockton and Searsport with the only caveat being we were not inviting school board members or RSU 20 staff.
There were no difficulties with the video. It will be broadcast tonight on BCTV and probably put up on the RSU 20 website before that.
Well, Gene. Why you form a think tank to see if you can do something to stem the rising tide of financial suicide in the area? If you do, make sure they have my email address. They lost it during the last think tank and forgot to invite me the final meeting.
It's financial suicide for Searsport and/or Stockton Springs to withdraw.
I fully understand why Searsport and Stockton Springs have decided to launch a withdrawal effort. They feel they want to get out of the RSU before their high school and middle school are closed. After all the verbal hype for the withdrawal of the six towns that used to be MSAD # 34 last year, why would they want to stay? Northport's working hard to withdraw to keep their school open AND provide a unique community school education for the students, similar to what Appleton, Hope, & Lincolnville offer their students. I could say more, but I'll just leave it at that.
I've heard there were "production difficulties" with the video of the 1/14/14 school board meeting, so we probably aren't going to see it. That's okay, they're students and learning. We'll just have to have the information about what the actual cost of educating students at SDHS/MS and about the "cost centers" repeated at the public forums. To my way of thinking, taxpayers, staff, students, and citizens are entitled to the "real figures", not some inflated ones.
I'm not saying you're wrong Ms Riley. It's a little disturbing that all 8 towns are moving to withdraw, tempers are growing, schools are being threatened with closure, and the data that's been provided by the RSU to make these decisions may be incorrect. The people running this RSU are being paid a very good salary to get this stuff right and that information has been out there for months.
I apologize. I just checked the RSU 20 website and the video of last night's school board meeting hasn't been posted yet. When it is I think it'll be most enlightening to view it. The RSU is supposed to be on Facebook & Twitter now, as well, although I haven't viewed those sites.
Don't take my word for it, go onto the www.rsu20.org site and watch the video of last night's school board meeting where Supt. Carpenter was asked to explain the actual costs of educating students @ Searsport High School and about the "cost centers" in the budget and his clear, concise explanations.
Speaking as just a taxpayer in Belfast I have to say that the most important thing that management and the directors of this RSU can do is provide accurate information to the people paying these bills. If it is fact true as Ms Riley states that the figures for Searsport are wrong, I don't know what to think. Those numbers have been posted for 4 months on the RSU website and are still today, stating that the average cost per student for that high school is over 17k. A while back, the chairman of the finance committee was quoted in this paper as saying this was a revenue problem not a spending problem and at the same time the superintendant was saying the directors didn't have the stomach to do what had to be done. What are people supposed to think about what is going on here. I am willing to bet that a year from now, the only thing different in regards to this mess will be another hike in our property taxes.
It came out in last nights board meeting, 1/14/14, that it does not cost 17,000 per student to educate Searsport High School Students, it is in fact 12,000 or maybe even less.
Our property taxes have increased by 10% every year. Stockton is a lovely place to live, but for the cost of sending the kids to Searsport HS, they could go to a first-rate private school (if there were any). Clearly, something has to give. The death-rate in Maine exceeds the birth-rate. Nobody want to "punish" the children, but it seems that with 73 cents of every dollar in property taxes going to support educating the children, other segments of the population are being over-looked. There are areas where change could be helpful, but there are too many "stake-holders" who want to protect their turf (teachers union, administrators in the top-heavy central office, board members.....). It goes on and on with no significant change and the costs keep going up. One argument is that closing schools leads to lowered property values, but so will abandoned homes when property owners can no longer pay their taxes. Leslie Lavender
Being from Northport and knowing how it feels to have your local community school designated to be closed in the popular consolidation plans, I fully understand how Searsport and Stockton Springs residents/students feel. I could see this coming a mile away. I think it's AWESOME when communities come together to support their schools.

It was moments after shootaround late last month in Phoenix, and Spurs guard Gary Neal faced a moment of truth.
He had missed the previous two games with a sprained foot. Someone asked if he planned to give it a go that night against the Suns.
GRAPHIC: Spurs' 13-man rotation
Acknowledging he didn't quite feel 100 percent, Neal nevertheless nodded in the affirmative.
"We've got like 14 guys on this team who could be starters," Neal said. "If you don't play when you can, you might lose your spot."
It was an exaggeration, but not by much.
If there has been one constant in this lockout-shortened season for the Spurs, which continues down the homestretch tonight against Utah, it has been a bench so deep coach Gregg Popovich needs a megaphone to call to the end of it.
Spearheaded by Manu Ginobili, both a former All-Star and Sixth Man of the Year, the Spurs' bench is providing 39.5 points per game, fourth in the NBA.
It has been even better than that since adding subs Stephen Jackson, Boris Diaw and Patrick Mills around the trade deadline. In the past four games, the Spurs' bench is averaging 64.5 points.
In Friday's 128-103 win over New Orleans, which catapulted the Spurs into first place in the Western Conference, the reserves took it to an almost ridiculous extreme, combining to score 82 points.
It marked the most points for an NBA bench since Orlando's reserves also scored 82 in a Jan. 3, 2000 loss to Detroit.
"Every guy we have can come in and contribute, score and make plays defensively," said Jackson, averaging 9.1 points in 10 games since rejoining the Spurs in a March 15 trade that sent Richard Jefferson to Golden State. "It's definitely a luxury to have."
Tim Duncan, in his 15th season, says this Spurs team is the deepest he's been around. Two of Duncan's title-winning former teammates — David Robinson and Sean Elliott — are on record in agreement.
Whether it's timely 3-pointers from Neal or Matt Bonner, blocked shots from Tiago Splitter, a big play from Jackson or slick pass from Diaw, the Spurs' reserves have been consistent in giving the team a mid-game lift.
Three games ago in Cleveland, it was 20 points from Mills, a backup point guard playing in just his third game with the Spurs that sparked a lopsided win.
"I'm just trying to fit in," Mills said, unwittingly repeating the mantra of the Spurs' bench corps. "They were already rolling when I got here."
Against the Hornets, the Spurs' reserves were largely responsible for the 23-5 run in the second quarter that set a course for the team's 10th straight win.
Mills and Ginobili each ended with 14 points, while Neal and Jackson (13 apiece) and Bonner (10) also reached double figures.
"Sometimes we play an opponent with a great starting five, but during 48 minutes, you can have a moment where you break them," Ginobili said. "Everybody knows we have a very deep team with a lot of scorers and shooters, and we are moving the ball well."
For Popovich, it's a nightly chore to find minutes for all the reserves who deserve it.
Asked after Diaw's arrival in March if the breadth of the Spurs' depth was comforting, he chuckled and shook his head.
"No," Popovich said. "It's confusing."
One example: A game before his 20-point breakout in Cleveland, Mills did not get off the bench. A game after it, he took another DNP.
For Mills, it was just another night at the end of the deepest bench in the league.
For Neal, it was confirmation of something he'd long suspected.
On a team as deep as the Spurs, you better play when able. If not, there's someone else more than willing to take your spot.

When life kicks you, let it kick you forward. Kay Yow
eyes wide shut was released in 1999 and it took forever to go from filming to release so it was probably filmed in 1998...maybe even 1997. i think they got divorced in 2000 or 2001 so yeah, it all kinda came crashing down at the same time. i remember hearing of another real life couple that once needed that kind of training for their love scenes but for the life of me, i can't remember who it was...it will come to me.Originally Posted by moflan;3409395;
it's probably easier to 'act' love with a non-lover than it is to 'act' love with your real lover. in the end, in dancing and movies, i guess it comes down to the talent/acting/choreography.
I agree that you could see chemistry with them in Far and Away (1992) or Days of Thunder (1990), where they met and fell in love. Eyes Wide Shut came out in 1999 and they split sometime around 2000, 2001. The cracks were already apparent, I guess. I never saw their last movie, but I can believe what was posted above.Originally Posted by stacerace;3409450;
As for Chuck and Julianne's lack of chemistry? It's possible that Chuck is just self-conscious, and is so fixated on being masculine , that he can't relax on DWTS and so his interactions with Julianne are strained by that a and we can't see the chemistry.
The weirdest moment for me, so far, as the weird half kiss he gave her after their dance this week. She's your girlfriend, you can at least give her a peck.
I think he acts rather like a jerk to her in rehearsals. How often does she say "It looks the best when you're making fun of the steps..."? Way to show respect for your girlfriend's profession, Chuck! Just judging by what we've seen on the show, I'll be surprised if they stay together for very long.
I hope they last but I don't think doing the show together was a great decision for them. I think he would have been better off paired with a stranger. I also think she would have pushed much harder with someone she wasn't in love with. I'm sure it's tough for them.
Being paired with another pro might have brought more flack for Julianne and him if he had that attitude and mediocre dancing. I always have those celebs that fit into the 'this sounded like a good idea when I signed up but get me out of here!' but I never thought Chuck would be one of those. I think he came on here for the career exposure and it's not doing anything for him. I've seen a variety of interviews where the focus is mainly Julianne and her career, and maybe a couple of questions aimed at him but it's about the show, not his career. He seems like he wants to try hard but I seem to think when he gets that attitude it's all just for show. Julianne may have a new #1 interest in her singing, but Chuck needs to realize dancing is a huge part of her life and I don't think he respects that part. Maybe he did think it'd be easier than it is, maybe he thought they'd be the front and center most talked about couple, who knows. Either way I feel sorry for Julianne.Originally Posted by Nova14;3409544;
Julianne really seems to be trying to do the best she can but he handicaps her some physically and emotionally. I guess if they were on show at same time with different partners there could be claims of sabatoge which could get ugly. Good point.
I think he wanted exposure and while he's gotten some it seems to be more on her, the show and them as a couple versus him as a singer so that part definitely didn't go as planned.
chuck doesn't seem to have what my grandma called 'gumption'. if he's not pimping his projects/career, that's his fault. if julieanne is stealing his thunder, well...i guess it begs the question, which is the pro and which is the celebrity (not that chuck could be confused technically with a professional dancer) but julieanne is certainly acting more like the celeb this round. she's on her turf, doing her thing...two time champ...i'm sure chuck is muy intimidated by that and the only way he knows how to express that is to grunt and whine about dancing being girly. it's like being back on the playground.
given both chuck and julieanne are touring right now, the only time they spend together, they're rehearsing. i'm sure it's no barrel of monkeys for either of them. it might be a race to see who breaks up first...chuck/julieanne or jason/molly (sorry, couldn't resist!)
i think it was on an episode of friends where joey tells the guys that if a couple acting has heat and passion, then they aren't "doing it" (his words) and if they dont it's because they are.....
She outshines him in every venue. His ego can't take it. I don't see them lasting. They'd be best cast in a remake of A Star is Born.
That's the name of the movie I was trying to remember. Far and Away, imo, showcase a COMPLETE lack of any onscreen sexual chemistry between Tom/Nicole. At the time it was SO contrived looking and completely asexual. I am not saying there was no sexual attraction between them, but imo, it SURE didn't appear on screen. The whole scene where the bed pan was lifted off his private area was laughable to me. I clearly also remember the director, Ron Howard saying that Tom surprised Nic by being nude under the pan in order to get the sexual response. Wow, did THAT ever fall flat.Originally Posted by stacerace;3409450;
So, this goes to show that sometime the sexual chemistry does not translate on the screen and I don't know how Julianne can fix that.
