The most arduous journey ever undertaken by Man is the passage of birth. The unborn leaves one realm to enter into another. And this one is like no other. It is earth. A mired place full of endless journeys...It is foretold after birth comes knowledge. But this is a grave oversight. For it is clear to see the innocent beheld knowledge long before the start…
Christine considered herself a fast walker but she found she was making an effort to keep up with her companion, Lydia.
They had emerged from Regent's Park underground station - just a little over five minutes ago - and had entered into what seemed like a cul-de-sac harbouring a short row of houses on either side of the road. But this particular street did not close off at the end but gave way to a pedestrian crossing leading to one of London's oldest parks.
The two women did not engage in conversation - there was no need. All the introductions and pleasantries had been exchanged on the tube ride up. Instead, the pair sped past the grand white Georgian houses that beamed like blocks of salt against the purple night sky.
The arcane street lamps positioned on both sides of the road flickered on. That was when Lydia spoke: "Ok. We're almost there now," she said, glancing over her shoulder. She smiled politely at Christine and pointed ahead: "It's four doors down. The one with the planters of flowers around the entrance."
Christine gave a brief nod and quickly pulled level with her guide.
To Christine, Lydia appeared to be exactly the same height as she was, which, was something she didn't often see in other women. They usually fell considerably below her 5 foot 7 inches, or towered above it.
Lydia also looked about her age too, Christine estimated,
'Hmmm 29, 30 or possibly 31 - like me.′
"I have to thank you again for coming out this evening," Lydia said suddenly. "I know we've never met before this," she trailed off before continuing. "My cousin said you were a huge help to her and her partner - you saved them from a ton of grief." Her immaculately tweezed eyebrows shot up as she said this.
Christine didn't know how to answer, so she just smiled back in response. Like many people, she found making polite conversation was strenuous enough, let alone having to do it with some conviction. She was spared, however, as her companion suddenly veered off the pavement and began to mount the soaring white pillared steps. Christine was less than a pace behind her. She peered over Lydia's shoulder and caught a glimpse of the gold-plated door number, it gleamed; searing her vision even after she had blinked a few times.
'Number 24. Twenty-four of what?'
She realized she'd forgotten the address she had hastily scribbled down earlier. But of course there was nothing that could be done about that. She was here now.
Lydia only had to ring the doorbell once, the woman who answered was clearly distressed. Her bright blonde hair looked like it had been run through with a rake. She was very slim and to Christine she was quite attractive. She was wearing skinny jeans and a white polo-neck sweater. Her big blue eyes jumped from Lydia to Christine then back to Lydia again.
"Hello my darling - you came sooner than I expected." She received Lydia in a shower of coos and air kisses, and then she quickly turned her attention to the pretty black girl standing in the doorway.
"Tilly this is Christine, she's…"
"Hello Christine - do come in," she interrupted. "I hope this is not too much of a bother. I suppose Lydia has filled you in." Before Christine could answer the air was suddenly slashed by a piercing scream, followed by a gurgling wail. A sound which could only be skillfully executed from the delicate lungs of a newborn.
Tilly rolled her eyes.
"He's awake again." She sighed as she looked to the ceiling.
However, while the baby continued with its screams of rage, or so it seemed. Tilly, led the young women in the opposite direction. She walked them through a labyrinth of magnolia-washed corridors and checkered marbled flooring: "We won't go to him just yet," she called back. "My nanny, Maria, is with him and besides, I would like a quick chat with you." She glanced over at Christine as she said this.
All three of them had to duck slightly as Tilly guided them down a small flight of stairs which led into a bright and spacious living area.
The baby's squeals of protest had long since been lost within the fabric of the walls.
Tilly waved her hand: "Please, sit down. Would you like some tea, co...?"
"Tilly. You look terrible!" Lydia interrupted her. Her wide hazel-grey eyes keenly observed the figure in front of her: "Haven't you slept since the last time we spoke?"
"I have, but very little," she groaned a response. "If you think I look terrible I suppose, everyone else must think so too."
Christine had stopped listening to their conversation, she took a closer look at Tilly. She didn't know what she was looking for.
The blonde woman pacing up and down in front of them was rubbing her thin gold chain as though she were counting rosary beads. Tilly was indeed a mature woman, Christine observed. Although she had a breezy countenance about her; flitting from one side to the next like an indecisive teenager. However there was no doubting that Tilly was a new mother. The lack of sleep showed up like crescent moons underneath her eyes, and judging by her heaving chest she was still actively breast-feeding, as well.
'Stop this! What am I now? A mind-reader? I'm here for a different purpose'
"Christine?" The sound of her name abruptly ended her private analysis. She looked to Tilly: "My son, Ethan is two-months old," Tilly began. "You might find this hard to believe - or maybe not considering your experience - but since the day he was born Ethan has not slept for two hours straight!" Her big blue were fixed on Christine. "I kid you not. Something's interrupting his sleep." She stopped talking and looked to her friend Lydia, whose gentle nod urged her to continue. "I-I have no idea how this works but please can you look at him? I understand this is what you do - help babies?"
"Yes it is what I do," Christine replied her cheery smile hiding a sudden bout of self-consciousness.
"And if you don't mind me asking," Tilly enquired, "do you have any children of your own?" Christine didn't look old enough to her but she thought she'd ask all the same.
"No. I don't." Christine replied. Her wandering hand found a loose strand of hair, which she quickly tucked behind her ear. She found it quite impressive how one of her ringlets always seemed to smuggle its way out of her tightly secured bun. She softly cleared her throat. "Now. Just before I see him, I have some questions for you - nothing serious," she added, noting the look of discomfort on Tilly's face, "just a few standard questions." She coughed. "Are you the primary caretaker of Evan - Ethan?"
"Yes" Tilly answered, then quickly added. "But like I said, I do have a nanny - Maria - who helps out every so often, it's so that I can attend to my other duties as you do. You know, they don't just get up and do themselves!" she said with a nervous laugh.
However Tilly stopped pacing and sat herself down on the nearest couch facing Lydia and Christine. Both of the women took this as a cue that Tilly's story was just getting started.
"You see, Maria is new. She's only been with us for two weeks. I've had three nannies in the space of two months. The last two were utterly useless; within a week they handed in their resignations because they couldn't deal with the constant crying. Though, to be fair, they were well on their way to receiving their marching orders." Her big blue eyes blazed in silent fury. "I mean – seriously! How can anyone profess to be a professional if they can't figure out why a three-week-old baby is crying his lungs out? In short, what are they teaching these so-called specialists these days? Are they just giving these qualifications away?" She paused. "I'm so sorry," she said in a fluster. She sighed and wiped her face "I didn't mean to raise my voice. But Ethan really is a beautiful baby, absolutely beautiful. I just don't know what on earth is the matter with him?" She turned away wistfully. "Other than the crying, he really is the most adorable thing. He looks just like my father." She said, there was no disguising her pride. "He was a colonel in the Coldstream Guards you know. He was a very fine man, what they call a true gentleman. He passed away six years ago. When I look at my son I see him, which is bizarre but I guess these things happen."
"Yes. Bizarre indeed!" Lydia cut in. "But, why not tell Christine a bit more about the problem?" she said rolling her eyes.
"Yes of course," she quickly turned to Christine: "Since his birth, Ethan hasn't slept...Well, not consistently. He wakes up every two hours or so, howling as if he's in pain. But more noticeably his crying becomes more erratic in the early hours of the morning. We can't see that there's anything physically wrong with him, but there's definitely something the matter with our son."
Christine was instantly moved by Tilly's apparent despair. She was all too familiar with the complete desolation parents felt, especially when their babies cried incessantly.
"I really thought I was prepared for childbirth." she sniffed, "but I didn't foresee any of this! Nothing has turned out as I expected. I put on a brave face for everyone around me, even to my husband, but nobody knows just how stressful this whole ordeal has been for me.
Before I gave birth, I gained a horrendous amount of weight: puffy face, swollen ankles, varicose veins - the whole sodding lot! I hardly had any energy to do anything else - it was torture! Then a week before Ethan arrived I developed hemorrhoids. Can you imagine? I've never had any kind of venereal disease in my life, and then - here I was - with warts the size of grapes!"
"Tilly! It's not the same…" interjected Lydia.
"Well it might as well have been with the way it made me feel!" she sobbed to her friend. "It was the most uncomfortable experience of my life. But despite all this I still persevered. And finally at last Ethan was delivered by C-section - my request of course," she hastily added, "but still, a very horrific ordeal. I was unable to do anything after the operation. I still have a scar from where they cut me open and I don't think it will ever go away. And please. Don't get me started on the breast-feeding, it was an absolute nightmare! Apparently, Ethan wasn't one of those babies who latched on right away. Whenever it was time to feed him, it felt as though I'd permitted a piranha to suckle on my nipple. Afterwards, all he had to do was yawn in my direction and I'd break out in a cold sweat. I can't believe mothers go through this!" She wailed looking about her but she continued to forge on with her traumatic report: "And now, my beautiful baby has arrived. He's finally here! But look at me? I haven't slept for weeks! I'm still 15lbs overweight, I have engagements to attend, commitments to fulfill, a husband to take care of, and a baby that consumes every waking moment of my life. Where does it end?" she breathed. "I don't think it does" she said, answering her own question. "This is something I've got to do forever. But who am I to complain?" she said looking at her guests, but not seeing their faces. "I have help for God's sake!"
With her cracked voice and frazzled hair, one could not help but compare her to a wounded animal.
The two young women staring back at her didn't quite know what to do with themselves.
One was wondering: 'What the hell had happened to her cool and collected friend?'
While the other, understood…entirely…
"Oh Tilly," Lydia said rushing to her friend's side. "You're just having a bad day, that's all!"
Lydia didn't dare to look at the visitor in their midst, instead, she quickly suggested her friend take Christine to see the baby. Tilly promptly nodded. She wiped her eyes, took a big gulp of air and then led the way…
Once more, Christine found herself walking back up a short flight of stairs, through winding corridors, then out into the foyer. They then proceeded up another staircase, which brought them onto another landing. All the while, Christine's eyes drank in the paintings, portraits and other stylish chintz, afforded by those not short of money.
A few moments later the three women quietly approached the nursery.
The door was slightly ajar.
"She's probably trying to lull him back to sleep again," Tilly whispered.
From the outside, the women could faintly hear the soft murmurings of Spanish being spoken to the baby. A baby, it seemed, who was not quite sure he wanted to listen, as he whined away intermittently.
Tilly lightly tapped on the door before entering. "Maria, I've brought someone to look at Ethan."
Whether, it was the sound of his name or the bright light, which came flooding in from the landing, the baby howled at the sight of them.
"Oh no - there he goes again." Tilly took the baby from Maria, who did little to hide her disapproval. Their intrusion had undone an hour of her good work. She was certain the baby was well on his way to a blissful slumber.
As soon as Christine stepped into the room she was immediately engulfed in the sweet, soft, scent, of baby cosmetics: Powders. Balms. Lotions. This fragrance wasn't new to her; it was almost distinct to all good homes with newborns in them. The whole room was bathed in powdery white and pale blue apparels; it looked like she had floated onto a patch of un-charted sky. And there - in the midst of all that cloying loveliness - was a red-faced, fair-headed, baby, refusing to be comforted. "If it's alright with you, I would like to be left alone," Christine said, without taking her eyes off the baby. "Is that okay?"
Light brown eyes, met pale blue ones. After a moment Tilly answered her. "Okay" she said softly with a nod. "We'll wait for you downstairs."
She gently handed the baby over to Christine and watched as the young woman caressed her son's back and walked over to the rocking chair.
Tilly made a point of switching off all the lights on the landings as she and Lydia made their way back to the living area.
"Where on earth did you find her?" Tilly enquired a little later, as they sat with their cups of Darjeeling. She blew into her already tepid cup of tea.
"She's a friend of my cousin Jilly," Lydia replied. "She and her partner Matthew are quite fond of her. When you told me all about the problems you were having with Ethan, I mentioned it to my cousin, since her son is roughly the same age as yours. She then told me all about Christine, and the rest is history." She paused before adding. "Jilly made me swear not to tell anyone about her - except you of course," she added somewhat guardedly.
However, for all the attention Tilly was now showing her, Lydia might as well have said: 'with the sky caving in!'
Tilly, being Tilly, hadn't taken in much of what her friend had just said but absentmindedly remarked. "And she's got lovely eyes, hasn't she? She's quite exotic-looking - don't you think?"
"Yes. And she's here to look at your baby. What are you getting at?"
"Nothing," Tilly said a little wounded. "I was just saying she's quite attractive, that's all. Mmmm very nice complexion," she continued.
"Tilly, I believe she's mixed - 'mixed-race'" Lydia answered. Swiftly noting just how few non-white people she actually knew herself.
Lydia gave Tilly a sideward glance but said no more. Instead, she took a moment to study her friend.
Tilly was talking, but she wasn't sharing. She was looking, but she wasn't focusing. Her friend seemed to be crawling into herself.
Were these the signs of postnatal depression? Lydia wondered. She had heard a great deal about this clinical malaise in the media.
Growing increasingly uncomfortable with the silence, she decided it was best to keep on talking.
"How's Rupert coping with fatherhood? I bet he just loves being a daddy," Lydia smiled "What time does he get home?"
"In an hour," Tilly replied with little cheer. Her eyes were focused on nothing in particular.
Lydia tried again. "Forgive me if I sound a bit dense here..." she began, "but have you taken Ethan to see a specialist, or what do you call them – a pediatrician?" She hesitated. "There could be an internal problem...Something wrong with him - on the inside?"
Tilly groaned. "Lydia. Don't you think that's the first thing Rupert and I did? "She slowly dragged her hands through her hair. "At first they suggested it might be a bad case of colic."
"Colic? I thought only horses got colic"
"Well, surprise, surprise. Babies get it too!" Tilly snapped. "Naturally, we bought all the medicines that are out there and, of course, nothing worked.
Kimberley, our first nanny, suggested we change Ethan at least three times during the night. Apparently, some babies have trouble sleeping in heavily soiled nappies. But of course - that wasn't it. I later read somewhere that it could be hunger bringing on the tears, so we increased his feeds from three- to five-times a night. And still - nothing!" She flung herself forward in heightened exhaustion. "Seriously, Lydia. I'm at my wits end! I don't know how much more of this I can take…"
She fell silent. "Lydia, don't laugh. But I get the feeling Ethan is trying to tell me something. Something, I've overlooked or I'm not seeing," she mumbled. "Something's disturbing his sleep…"
Lydia was certain if the conversation continued in this vein, she was likely to slit her own wrists before Tilly could even begin to entertain the thought. She promptly changed the subject. "I don't think I've ever seen your house this unoccupied before. It seems positively empty without your 'wine-guzzling' lackeys, floating from room-to-room."
"Oh that," Tilly replied. "They're not lackeys Lydia, they're my friends' darling. We have an understanding. We're all mothers now - sorry! Present company excluded," she added for her friends benefit. She gave her a wry smile. "I know hanging out here is no night out at Chinawhites, but as soon as you give birth your priorities change. Nowadays you'll find me assessing nappies - not nightclubs. And you know what Lydia?" she said looking at her friend in all earnest. "I'm okay with that part. It's just the not knowing part that really drives me crazy! I have no idea what I'm doing, and because of that I'm in a constant state of worry - I'm a terrible worrier as it is. I just wish there could be a book on this sort of thing, you know. I swear I'd follow it to the letter. But this…" She shook her head, her weary eyes trailed over to the window. She ended one conversation and began another. "I was told everybody loves the weekly tea-parties that I hold. But even that I've had to scale back on, due to the way things are at the moment."
Lydia almost choked swallowing down her laughter. "You're not exactly serving tea there, Tilly."
Tilly smiled. "No. But that's not the point. These gatherings mean the world to me. I'm part of a group not just some rich man's wife. And, we're not just drinking and gossiping - okay, maybe we are a little bit - but it's all harmless, really. I like bringing people together, that's the thing that keeps me sane..." She didn't say anything more. She carried on staring into her cup, with a look that was miles away from her tea.
This time Lydia did sigh out loud.
God give me strength! Maybe it was time to embrace the silence
Lydia put down her own cup and walked over to the French windows.
It was dark outside, the moon was out. By all accounts it was an enchanting evening, Lydia thought, but this did little to quell her growing unease. "You know, you shouldn't expect miracles," she suddenly blurted out, intuitively sensing that Tilly, like herself, was probably wondering what Christine was doing or, albeit, performing upstairs with the baby.
They didn't have to wait much longer. At that moment, Christine appeared.
She walked over to the fireplace and leaned a little awkwardly on the mantelpiece. From this angle Christine was able to face both of the women.
At the same time, Lydia drew away from the window and stood at Tilly's side.
From an onlooker's point of view, the subtle movements played out like a game of chess.
Christine cleared her throat. "Th-These are his words, not mine." She continued. "The champagne..."
She paused and then started again. This time without stopping. "I don't like the champagne. The bubbles in the breast milk give me indigestion. If you do insist on having a tipple in the evening, then might I suggest you have a glass of that Rioja you occasionally have. None of that 'New World' drivel, as that gives me heartburn. But that Rioja, now, that's a good find!
I had no idea my crying was causing you so much grief. So after tonight, I won't cry anymore, only, when I'm hungry or feeling cold. However, if I do get indigestion, I'll indicate by lifting my legs and scratching my face. Speaking of which, it's high time I had my nails filed down again, don't you agree?"
The silence was loud. The ubiquitous term: catching flies, sprung to mind as Christine calmly watched Lydia and Tilly gape back at her.
Lydia broke the silence: "Is this some kind of joke?" she blazed.
She turned to her friend, whose usually creamy white complexion took on a greyish hue. Tilly looked frozen but opened her mouth to speak, all the same: "Yes - yes it is good," Tilly answered as though she was in a trance. "Its 1982"
Lydia looked incredulous. "What's 1982?" she demanded. She looked about her as though everybody had suddenly gone raving mad.
"That Rioja," Tilly answered. She slowly turned her head back to look at Christine; her eyes wide with disbelief. What she said next, seemed to hang in the air for eternity. "Thank you."
Nobody moved but Tilly began to relax. One could literally see the tension rise up and float away from her, like a spirit hurtling towards the next world. Nonetheless, Tilly maintained a knowing smile; a smile she was doing quite badly at suppressing. "Ethan - my father!" she called out. "He's here. He's right here!" She continued to stare at Christine in a strange kind of wonder. "Oh my God…They're all here…"
Yes Tilly - that is correct! The world may think you dim, but believe me, you're a lot quicker than most. For your father - our Ancestors - haven't completely left our lives, as many have been led to believe. On the contrary, our Ancestors are very much alive, and they have much to say - and the babies are in the prime position to say it! But who can hear their tiny, miraculous voices? Well as it turns out, one exceptional person can. One, specially selected soul with this unique ability to do so...
"Did he say anything else?" Tilly asked looking on with excitement.
"Nothing I wish to repeat." Christine answered, apologetically. Deadpan.
The smile froze on Tilly's face.
Indeed, there is nothing remotely cutesy about baby-whispering, as the world is about to witness. Nothing cutesy about it at all…

Alvin Gentry out as Suns coach
PHOENIX — Alvin Gentry is out as the Phoenix Suns coach.
The Suns announced the change Friday morning via a statement saying the team and Gentry had "mutually agreed to part ways." Gentry was under contract through the end of the current season.
The team said an interim head coach would be named within 48 hours. Immediate speculation centered on assistant coach Elston Turner and player development assistant Lindsey Hunter.
"Alvin's hard work, dedication and coaching ability over the last nine years have been an important part of the success of our organization," Suns managing partner Robert Sarver said. "These partings are never easy but are, unfortunately, part of the business of professional sports. I wish nothing but the best for Alvin and his family."
Gentry was in his fifth season as the Suns head coach. He was promoted in February 2009 after Terry Porter was fired midway through his first season on the job. Gentry had previously served as an assistant on Mike D'Antoni's staff.
"After nine years with the Suns, the organization and I came to a mutual agreement to go in different directions," Gentry said in a statement. "I have the utmost respect for Robert (Sarver) and what he's done with the organization. It's unfortunate that I was unable to accomplish what I set out to do here."
After finishing out the 2009 season as interim coach, Gentry was named head
coach in May 2009. He leaves with a 158-144 record. He coached the Suns
to the Western Conference Finals in 2010, but they have not returned to
the postseason since.
The roster has been overhauled drastically
in the past two seasons, culminating with the trade of two-time MVP
Steve Nash to the Lakers for draft picks last July.
The Suns
reached the midpoint of the 2012-13 season with a 13-28 record after
suffering a 98-94 loss to Milwaukee on Thursday night. It was the Bucks
first win in Phoenix in 25 years.
Gentry looked and sounded forlorn in meeting with reporters following the loss, taking a long pause while discussing the team's offensive struggles before regaining his composure and saying: "We're not very good right now. We're not playing well."
Thursday night's loss was the fourth in a row at home for the Suns, and their 13th in the last 15 games overall. They have the worst record in the Western Conference, and the fourth worst overall — better than only Washington, Charlotte and Cleveland.
"All of us, including Alvin, realized that the pieces weren't fitting," said Lon Babby, president of basketball operations. "To be sure, integrating nine new players was a challenge. Alvin is a good coach and a good person. I wish him the best. As for us, we will remain focused on moving this team forward."
The Suns have a five-day break before their next game on Wednesday in Sacramento.
Suns forward Channing Frye tweeted: "I have grown so much playing under
Alvin Gentry. I wish him and his family the best. He's a great coach and
a better man."

London Riots 2: Police prepare for carnage as gangs of youths plan chaos THIS summer
THE Metropolitan police are on high alert over possible gang clashes at public events in London next month.
Officers have been told that gangs plan to hijack a march on August 6 to commemorate the death of Mark Duggan.
Duggan's shooting by police five years ago was part of what started the widespread civil unrest.
There are further fears gang violence could tarnish the Notting Hill carnival over the August bank holiday weekend.
The warnings come after a string of violent incidents rocked the capital last week.
Five police officers were injured as trouble flared at unlicensed gatherings in Hyde Park, Stamford Hill and Burgess Park.
All police leave was cancelled for the four days leading up to this weekend with extra officers placed on patrol across the capital.
A police source told The Times that Met officers were preparing to beef up security for the Duggan anniversary march.
But the police have not commented on the claims.
A flyer being circulated by campaign groups Tottenham Rights and the Mark Duggan Justice Campaign says the day of "action, remembrance and community healing" will end with a protest outside Tottenham Police Station.

|bmibaby seat allocations rip off
|Sunday, 04 January 2009 10:09
bmibaby has recently changed their seat allocation procedure in an interesting way.
bmibaby now tries to force passengers to pay for seat allocations by splitting groups and couples.
bmibaby likes to call themselves the airline with the tiny fares; that may be true in some cases, but they certainly have the service to match and bmibaby has found new and innovative ways to charge passengers for everything and anything.
You used to be able to make your own seat allocation without charge when you checked in online. Not any longer. bmibaby now charges you to select a seat, so if there are two or more of you travelling together you will have to pay extra to sit together.
This is a recent change to the booking system and online checkin system and has been done before other changes that could have made life easier. For example every time you book you have to enter all your contact details because the system relies on internet browser cookies to recall details and most internet browsers delete cookies for security.
bmibaby make things very difficult if you want to complain. bmibaby does not employ any staff at airports, instead they use service companies whose staff can only perform a limited range of tasks and have no real stake in bmibaby.
bmibaby will only accept complaints in writing, but makes it difficult to find the address to which complaints must be sent. Their next tactic is to ignore written complaints. Most people find it difficult enough to write a letter, but when you get no response it's likely that most people will forget about the complaint and bmibaby will never do anything.

US cartoonist disavows `Draw Mohammed` Facebook page
Norris had satirically proposed May 20 as an 'Everybody Draw Mohammed Day'.
Washington: An American cartoonist, whose work inspired the controversial `Everybody Draw Mohammed Page` on Facebook, has condemned the effort and issued an apology to Muslims.
Molly Norris, of Seattle, drew a cartoon in April to protest the decision by the US television channel Comedy Central to cancel an episode of the popular show "South Park" over its depiction of the Prophet Mohammed in a bear suit.
In her cartoon, Norris satirically proposed May 20 as an 'Everybody Draw Mohammed Day'.
An `Everybody Draw Mohammed Day` page quickly turned up on Facebook but Norris, writing on her website at mollynorris.com, said she had nothing to do with it.
"I did NOT `declare` May 20 to be `Everybody Draw Mohammed Day`," she said, adding that her idea was satire but "was taken seriously, hijacked and made viral".
"I never started a Facebook page; I never set up any place for people to send drawings to and I never received any drawings," she said.
"The vitriol this `day` has brought out, of people who only want to draw obscene images, is offensive to Muslims who did nothing to endanger our right to expression in the first place," she said.
"I apologise to people of Muslim faith and ask that this `day` be called off," she said.
The `Draw Mohammed` page has led to Facebook being
blocked in Pakistan and sparked angry protests and condemnation from the Foreign Ministry, which denounced the "publication of blasphemous caricatures of our holy prophet".
The Facebook page on Tuesday had drawn over 89,000 fans -- and a slew of crude photo-shopped pictures and caricatures.
Among the dozens of pictures and drawings submitted to the Facebook page are depictions of a man in Arab garb engaged in sexual acts, blowing things up or portrayed as a pig, an animal considered unclean by Muslims.

Miami, FL (PressExposure) November 16, 2009 -- Four hundred local business leaders, art enthusiasts and members of the Florida International University arts and design community recently attended an exclusive sneak preview and cocktail reception to celebrate the upcoming sixth annual Masters Mystery Art Show (MMAS) at FIUâs new Patricia & Philip Frost Art Museum. Guests enjoyed live music by students from the FIU School of Performing Arts as they perused artwork that will be available for sale during the 2009 MMAS.
Supported by the Lowenstein family, owners of Miami-based Lionstone Development Group, the MMAS is one of the most important fundraisers benefitting FIUâs prestigious Master of Fine Arts in Visual Arts (MFA) program. Proceeds from last yearâs MMAS, which totaled more than $30,000, provide students with support for art exhibitions, artistâs lectures, workshops and conference travel.
The sixth annual MMAS will be hosted Wednesday, December 2nd with a private cocktail reception to coincide with Art Basel Miami Beach and a public showing for one day only on December 3rd from 12-7pm. This international fundraising exhibition gathers prominent business and community leaders and art collectors at the exclusive Lionstone Development-owned The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach. During MMAS, more than 1,000 works are displayed anonymously, creating an artistic âwhodunitâ as guests buzz around the mini masterpieces and try to identify works by famous artists and new talent to add to their collections. Previously, celebrities and famous artists have contributed works for sale during MMAS, including John Legend, Rachel Ray, Carlos Betancourt, Romero Britto, Andy Garcia, Gloria and Emilio Estefan and Rosie OâDonnell. All proceeds benefit FIU, specifically the schoolâs MFA program.
âThe Mastersâ Mystery Art Show is one of the most important annual fundraisers for the South Florida arts community, and we seek to attract new and existing artists and supporters to the event each year,â said Martin Elortegui, Lionstone Developmentâs Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing and a major force behind the MMAS since its inception. âThrough the funds gathered by this event, we are providing talented artists with the opportunity to master their craft at FIU, and help bring national recognition to South Floridaâs rich artistic and cultural community. Contributing to Miamiâs cultural expansion of the arts is an initiative embraced by the entire Lowenstein family, and we hope many others will join us to continue this mission.â
FIU President Mark B. Rosenberg thanked Elortegui and the Lowenstein family for their constant passion for the arts, creation of the MMAS and overall support of FIUâs MFA program. He also invited attendees to join the Lowenstein family in supporting the MMAS and helping to continue the programâs success.
The Lowenstein family has proudly supported the MMAS program since 2003. An extension of the Lowenstein familyâs personal passion for the arts, the Lowensteins created the MMAS in conjunction with FIU to offer a platform to generate awareness and support for valuable art education programs and showcase up-and-coming artistic talent from the Miami area and beyond.
About Lionstone Development Miami-based Lionstone Development, owned by the Lowenstein Family, has a 30-year track record of owning, developing, leasing and managing hospitality, gaming and residential properties throughout South Florida and the Caribbean. Lionstone Developmentâs current portfolio includes Lionstone Development-owned The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach, Hilton Curaçao Resort & Casino and Breezes Curaçao Resort and the company is developing more than 2.5 million square feet of residential and mixed-use space.

Women Now Center
Concept: Offering a Safe Place with Proper Conditions and Tools to Empower Syrian Women
Economic, social and cultural empowerment means providing women with the tools they need to express themselves freely. It requires giving them the agency to run their own lives and to plan their futures.
This project and its programs have been designed by Syrian women for Syrian women to meet their needs and develop their potential.
It represent the main project of Women Now For Development
The centers include the following departments:
1. Economic department: offers life-skills course including knitting and sewing, hair dressing, cooking.
2. Educational and cultural department: offers educational courses in English and French, has a literacy program to improve reading, writing, and simple math, ICDL and workshops on women's development and empowerment. It also contains a library; the cinema hall offers select movies, lectures and seminars.
3. Psychological support department: has a specialized and devoted team providing psycho-social support for traumatized women and children.
4. Social department: provides lectures and workshops on a variety of subjects such as peace-building, women's rights, women's empowerment, parenting, conflict resolution, and civic engagement.
Empowering women : An inclusive approach
Inclusion of men and youth in programs: Empowering women to mobilize for greater civic access builds egalitarian structures for the future. From our experiences in the centers we have realized that in order to create real-world change in women's lives, children, youth and men should also be empowered in the process.
So when possible, centers offers courses to youth and men. They may also be invited to participate in conferences and debates.
Stories :
Um Mohammed: I am taking a sewing course and I am now able to sew clothes for all of my children. My husband was detained and I am raising our five children alone. Only god knows how I will be able to feed them while we live under siege and there is mass hunger. Today I work from home and earn enough money to feed my children. I would like to thank all those who have contributed to the opening of this center and all the employees. I hope the centre will organize embroidery and fashion design courses as well, they would be very useful for my work.
–Um Ghassan: I have taken an English language course at the Women Now Centre. I never finished my schooling as a child due to my father's conservative ideas, and I always dreamed about learning English and being able to speak it! It was difficult to teach my kids after school and to help them with their homework. At the WNC I became confident, I learned the letters, many words and most of the grammar, now I can teach my children without any problems when they ask me to help them, and of course I am not ashamed of not knowing any more, thanks to the WNC.
"Noor is a young girl of only 16 and sadly she has a hearing problem that makes it difficult for her to learn. Noor does not speak fluently and is difficult to understand. She stopped going to school when the war broke out.
A few months ago she began attending a literacy course, first the introductory level and then the second level. With specialized help from her professors, today Noor is able to write short messages and communicate better. She has gained more self-confidence and has begun taking a hair styling course".

Italian cement maker Buzzi Unicem will not raise its offer for minority sharesholders in Dyckerhoff any further, Buzzi's chief executive said in a German news reports.
"We will under no circumstances raise our offer," Pietro Buzzi told German daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) in an interview.
In November Buzzi had increased its offer for Dyckerhoff's ordinary shares to 42 euros ($55.04) per share from 40 euros each, and for the preferred shares to 40 euros per share from 37.50 euros each.
On Friday Dyckerhoff shares closed at 42.54 euros, while its preferred shares finished at 40.89 euros.
"You will always find somebody who thinks that such an offer will be increased further. We reckon hedge funds might be speculating here," Buzzi told the paper.
Buzzi said he did not want to spend more than about 360 million euros on the complete takeover of Dyckerhoff.
As of Thursday Buzzi held 85.16 percent in Dyckerhoff. For a complete takeover the firm needs to increase its stake to 95 percent. The offer ends on Jan. 15.
Buzzi said he expects sales at Dyckerhoff to rise 2-3 percent in 2007, while he plans to increase its profitability in Germany by around 10 percent in the next five years. Published under Cement News

Crossing Networks and Dealer Markets: Competition and Performance
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): Terrence Hendershott, Haim Mendelson
- Published: Dec 17, 2002
- Pages: 2071-2115
This paper studies the interaction between dealer markets and a relatively new form of exchange, passive crossing networks, where buyers and sellers trade directly with one another. We find that the crossing network is characterized by both positive ('liquidity') and negative ('crowding') externalities, and we analyze the effects of its introduction on the dealer market. Traders who use the dealer market as a 'market of last resort' can induce dealers to widen their spread and can lead to more efficient subsequent prices, but traders who only use the crossing network can provide a counterbalancing effect by reducing adverse selection and inventory holding costs.

FAN CAST: X-Factor The Movie By LEEE777
X-Factor was the original X-Men of Angel, Beast, Cyclops, Marvel Girl and Iceman forming the group to save mutant kind. I have been asked a few times now to do an X-Men casting, though i'll probably will do one at some point, thought i should dip into the X-verse, so i bring you (My favorite) X-Factor...
Filed Under: "
Fan Fic
The founding of X-Factor hinged upon the reunion of the original X-Men, an event complicated by the extensive histories of the characters following the initiation of a new team of X-Men in 1975.
In the 1970s and early 1980s, Angel, Beast, and Iceman wandered through various superhero teams. By 1985, all three were members of the Defenders, whose monthly series was shortly canceled which freed the trio.
The returns of Cyclops and Jean Grey were more difficult. In the late 1970s, Jean Grey was killed during the seminal Dark Phoenix Saga, and was not originally conceived in the team's female role, with her former X-Men teammate Dazzler as the front runner for that part. However, writer Kurt Busiek suggested a way to add Jean Grey to the roster which became one of the most significant cases of retconning in comic book history: Jean Grey had never actually been the Phoenix. Instead, the Phoenix entity copied Grey's identity and form, keeping her safe in a cocoon-like structure beneath Jamaica Bay. Busiek related the idea to Roger Stern, who related it to John Byrne. Byrne wrote and illustrated Fantastic Four #286 (1985), incorporating Busiek's idea.
In order to join the team, Cyclops walked out on his new wife Madelyne Pryor, an Alaskan pilot who bore a strange resemblance to Grey, and their infant son Nathan Christopher. These events, along with the resurrection of Grey in general, were highly controversial with fans.
The original X-Men disassociated with the current team because Professor X had placed their old nemesis Magneto as its leader. The five set up a business advertised as mutant-hunters for hire, headquartered in the TriBeCa neighborhood of downtown New York City, posing as "normal" (non-superpowered) humans to their clients. The mutants X-Factor captured were secretly trained to control their powers and reintegrated into society. Through their "mutant-hunting" they recruited a group of young wards: Artie, Rusty Collins, Skids, Rictor and Boom Boom. The team would also go into action in costume, posing as mutant outlaws known as the "X-Terminators." Eventually, the team decided that the "mutant-hunter" ruse did more harm than good by inflaming hatred. Not only was the concept rejected, but it was blamed on X-Factor's original business manager, Cameron Hodge, who was revealed as a mutant-hating mastermind.
James Marsden as Cyclops (Scott Summers):
When Scott is sixteen, he runs away from the orphanage, and wanders the streets. While wandering, he walks across a construction site and his head trauma activates, causing an optic beam, also causing a metal crane to fall toward an onlooking crowd. He thinks quickly unleashing a second blast that destroys the crane. The crowd thinks this is an act of violence, and forms a lynch mob. He encounters Jack O' Diamonds and battles the villain. Scott is found by Charles Xavier, who erases the crowd's memories. Xavier then asks Scott to join the X-Men, and he gladly accepts, as the first official member. In the X-Men's first field mission, he battles Magneto. With the X-Men, he battles the Blob. He also becomes romantically attracted to Jean Grey. With the X-Men, he then clashes with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants for the first time. He soon becomes the team's field leader, a position he will traditionally hold over the years.
Well what can i say, he is Cyclops, no other actor comes close, pity Marsden didn't have the screen time he deserves in "X-Men 3."
Emily Blunt as Marvel Girl (Jean Grey):
As a teenager, Jean leaves her parents to attend Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and, using the codename "Marvel Girl", becomes the first female X-Man, joining the team on its first mission against Magneto. With the X-Men, she battles the team's earliest and most enduring threats, including Magneto's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, the Juggernaut, and the Sentinels. She briefly leaves Xavier's school to attend Metro College. Back with the X-Men, she helps end the Factor Three conspiracy. It is also revealed that she secretly aided Professor Xavier in his preparation to thwart the Z'Nox invasion. While on a mission that took them into space, Jean is observed by the Phoenix Force which is drawn to Jean's unlimited potential. Jean envisions her transformation into Phoenix but within an instant she cannot remember what she foresaw.
Emily Blunt, yes i know shes a favorite here at CBM and now is a favorite of mine. Love the actress, check out "The Devil Wears Prada." Yeah i have had her as a replacement Mary Jane Watson, but her nose is all wrong lol, yeah little things, my original Jean Grey pick was Rachel McAdams but i thought do we want an actress thats more like the movie version or an actress more like the comic book version of Jean Grey, 100 percent the latter was my final decision.
Kelsey Grammer as The Beast (Dr. Henry 'Hank' McCoy):
Henry Philip McCoy was born in Dundee, Illinois, in the United States, to Norton and Edna McCoy. His father, Norton McCoy, is employed at a local nuclear power plant before Henry's birth and was once exposed to intense nuclear radiation, which appears to have caused his son's mutation. Hank is born with a vast intellect, unusually long arms and legs, and unusually large hands and feet for a human; in fact, his body's proportions are comparable to those of a gorilla and later stories reveal his nickname in school was "Magilla Gorilla".
Henry's mutation more fully manifests during adolescence, providing greater strength and agility, and although his powers allow him to briefly excel in athletics during his remaining time at school, he soon attracts the animosity of his fellow students and other non-mutant humans. As he seeks refuge, he is approached by Professor Charles Xavier, who invites him to study at "Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters".
Henry recognizes the opportunities such an institution can offer him and accepts the offer. He finds the school both a fount of scientific knowledge and a place of sanctuary and is there introduced to the X-Men, who accept him into their ranks and give him the codename Beast. What is there to say, Grammer was one of the best things in "X-Men 3."
Teddy Sears as Angel (Warren Worthington III):
Warren Worthington III is an Episcopalian born in Centerport, New York to Kathryn Worthington and Warren Worthington Jr. He was attending a private school in his adolescence when white feathered wings began to grow from his shoulder blades. At first, Warren felt he was a freak, but he soon learned that he could use his wings to fly and to help people. When there was a fire in his dormitory, he borrowed some props from the school's drama department, dressed up as a "heavenly" angel, and rescued his friends. He soon learned that he in fact was a mutant. He donned a mask and costume and called himself the Avenging Angel and became a solo adventurer, before being recruited by Professor Charles Xavier into joining the X-Men.
Warren's status as a wealthy playboy, as well as being an outspoken individual who chafed at the notion of being told what to do, was the subject of much tension within the X-Men. In particular, Warren was in love with Jean Grey, who instead was in love with Scott Summers. Though he ultimately conceded Jean to Scott, Angel still harbors an unrequited love for Jean even as he found himself a girlfriend of his own, Candy Southern.
Well i like Teddy Sears as maybe Captain America, but i just think he's even more perfect for Mutant playboy Warren Worthington III. Man, he screams Angel, so i don't know about you but i reckon this guy was born for the part, it don't hurt hes an amazing actor too.
Shawn Ashmore as Iceman (Bobby Drake):
Robert Drake was born in Floral Park, New York, Long Island, New York, to William Robert Drake and Madeline Beatrice Bass-Drake. He is Jewish on his mother's side and Irish Catholic on his father's. Bobby's powers first manifest when he is on a date with Judy Harmon, and a local bully by the name of Rocky Beasely tries to take Judy away for himself. Knowing Judy cannot put up a good fight, Bobby points his hand at Beasely and encases him in a block of ice. Later, the local townspeople, having heard of the incident, come looking for him in the form of an angry mob. The local sheriff has no choice but to put Bobby in jail for his own "protection". While Bobby sits in his cell at the sheriff station, the outer wall is blown open, and a man named Scott Summers (Cyclops) walks in and offers to take Bobby with him. After Bobby turns him down, the two mutants get into a short battle, which is soon ended by Professor Charles Xavier.
After Xavier has sat down and talked with Bobby and his parents, Bobby's parents suggest that he go with Professor Xavier to his "school for gifted youngsters". Bobby takes the suggestion and leaves with Professor Xavier and Cyclops to become the second member of the X-Men. He is later joined by Henry "Hank" McCoy, Jean Grey, and Warren Worthington III as the founding members of the X-Men. Iceman quickly befriends Hank McCoy (Beast), and the two serve as comic relief for the team. Drake, however, remains self-conscious regarding the fact that he is the youngest member of the group. Appearing in his original snow covered form, he first battles Magneto along with the rest of the team, and later the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
I don't care what anyone says, the guy is a great Iceman, i reckon a movie like this, we'd see the true Iceman in all his glory.
Right, thats the main cast sorted, now the rest.
Jamie Johnston as Rusty Collins:
Rusty Collins was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Raised by his uncle, Rusty joins the US Navy at sixteen years of age. His mutant power, generation of fire, manifests itself violently, burning a woman. Rusty is arrested, but set the arresting officer aflame and escapes.
X-Factor is alerted and came to the aid of Rusty, helping him to control his powers. He came to live with X-Factor, who were slowly gathering a small team of mutant wards. Rusty forms a relationship with Skids, a former Morlock.
The guy from "Degrassi" is Rusty Collins, not only does he look like him, he has the attitude too.
Taylor Swift as Skids:
Little has been revealed of Sally Blevins' past. It is known that her power first manifested after she was abused by her stepfather. Her mother Matilda is deceased and the current whereabouts of her step father is unknown. She ended up a runaway, living on, or rather under, the streets with the Morlocks, a group of homeless mutants. Most Morlocks voluntarily (or, in some cases, involuntarily) took on inhuman appearances at the hands of the Morlock facial sculptor, Masque. Sally's force field protected her from Masque's power, allowing her to maintain her normal appearance, leading to resentment from some Morlocks. At one point, Skids encountered Rusty Collins, who was being pursued by the Freedom Force (government-chartered mutant enforcers composed of former members of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants) and a mob of mutant-hating humans. Rusty had accidentally injured a woman with his pyrokinetic powers and was wanted by the U.S Government. Skids' force field allowed the two to easily escape, but were eventually overtaken by the Freedom Force on the edge of Central Park.
I say heck no for Taylor Swift as a big screen Supergirl, that jobs for Elisha Cuthbert, but a role like this the singer turned actor could sink her teeth into it pretty well. Swifty for Skids lol.
Freddie Highmore as Artie:
Artie was raised by his father, Dr. Carl Maddicks, until his eleventh birthday, when he gained his powers. Artie mutated into a lumpy pink form with no nose and large round eyes. Furthermore, the speech center of his brain was altered, rendering him mute. Desperate, Dr. Maddicks forced Dr. Hank McCoy to help him make a cure. McCoy was used as Dr. Maddicks' guinea pig, while Artie watched. X-Factor came to save McCoy and ended up saving Artie as well. Brand Corporation security guards (whom Dr. Maddicks worried would kill his son) arrived as he fired a gun at them. The guards fire back, killing him.
Afterwards, Artie became the ward of X-Factor. As a part of X-Factor's group of youthful pupils, the "X-Terminators", he first met his friend Leech, a Morlock boy with green skin who possesses the ability to negate other mutants' superhuman abilities. He also befriends several other young mutants, such as Boom-Boom, Rictor, Rusty and Skids.
Freddie Highmore good actor (Spiderwick Chronicles), would be a great part for him to play, the kids got talent.
Jay Hernandez as Rictor:
As a child, young Julio Esteban Richter was forced to watch his father, an arms merchant, being killed by the time-tossed villain known as Stryfe. Later, Rictor was captured by the anti-mutant organization called the Right, who connected him to a machine that amplified his already uncontrollable power of earthquake generation to wreak havoc in San Francisco. Rictor was freed by the original X-Factor team and was accepted by them as a trainee member. During the chaos, he was assisted by Boom Boom, who talked him out of a severe emotional crisis. He was recaptured by the Right shortly afterwards, but was again freed by X-Factor.
Good actor, got that young look about him, and i reckon the guy would own the role of Rictor.
Kristen Storms as Boom Boom:
Tabitha was born in Roanoke, Virginia. She is depicted as a rebellious but normal teenager in her first appearance. Daughter of divorced parents, Tabitha's mutant powers manifest at 13, and her parents immediately show their disgust, her father even beating her. She runs away from home, giving herself the alias "Time Bomb", and meets the cosmic entity known as the Beyonder. He brings her to Charles Xavier, headmaster of the School for Gifted Youngsters, who ignores her to combat the Beyonder. Just before she can commit suicide over this second rejection, the Beyonder stops her, taking her with him on his cosmic trip. The Beyonder confronts the Celestials, and at her behest, returns Tabitha to Earth. She helps the Avengers ambush the Beyonder. She leaves the battlefield when she learns that the Beyonder felt betrayed by the actions of "his only friend."
Plays Maxie Jones on "General Hospital," i think its time to quit that and get in the role of Boom Boom, hell she certain would Boom Boom you right?
Cameron Bright as Leech:
The green-skinned Leech was orphaned as a toddler. His parents left him to die when his mutations became apparent. He was found by the Morlock Caliban and taken to a woman named Annalee who raised him and several other young mutant orphans as her children. He made friends with X-Factor's ward named Artie Maddicks and had a few brief encounters with the X-Men.
Yeah he played a water downed version of the character, but its time to do the real deal, with the add of CG this kid can bring the real Leech out on the big screen.
Rachel McAdams as Madelyne Pryor:
Madelyne Pryor was an Alaskan charter pilot working for the grandparents of Cyclops (Scott Summers), where the two met during a Summers family reunion and quickly began a relationship. Mystery however surrounded her from the beginning: not only did she bear a striking resemblance to Scott's dead love, Jean Grey/Phoenix, but was the sole survivor of an airplane crash that occurred the same day Phoenix died on the moon. In addition, Professor X was unable to scan her mind (which, he noted, was occasionally possible among normal humans). Scott, still recovering from Jean's death, became obsessed with the idea that Madelyne was her reincarnation, eventually confronting her with his suspicions. Madelyne, furious and hurt, punched Scott and seemingly transformed into the Dark Phoenix. This, however, was revealed to be the doing of Mastermind, who had been manipulating the X-Men for months — as revenge for being driven temporarily insane by Phoenix due to his involvement in her corruption. After the conflict, Scott finally came to terms with the fact that Jean Grey was dead and that Madelyne was not her, and that he loved her all the same. The two were soon married, and Scott retired from active duty with the X-Men.
Now i know she is a clone of Jean but that don't mean we use Emily Blunt for this role too, clones don't mean exact copies, well not all the time lol and i wouldn't work on screen. Anyway Rachel McAdams "Red Eye" is a great actress and Madelyne is a great role, what more can i say, made for each other.
Jason Isaacs as Mr Sinister
Mister Sinister is a genetically altered human with superhuman physical and mental abilities. The character is telepathic, able to manipulate the minds of others in various ways, and is capable of energy projection through telekinesis. Using genetic material from the mutant Courier, Mister Sinister gained complete control of his body at the cellular level, allowing him to shape-shift; regenerate and be virtually immune to injuries. The character has exhibited the ability to teleport, though Beast believes this is accomplished through his tesseract headquarter.
Mister Sinister is also a scientific genius, with expertise in the fields of biology; genetic manipulation; cloning; including physics and engineering. The character is a master manipulator and planner, with decades of genetic research behind him.
First i'd like to point out, Mr Sinister is not African American, and second Isaacs is so Mr Sinister its so Mr Perfect it's unreal, the guy is beyond talent, he'd make an amazing Sinister. Don't hurt he looks like Sinister's twin brother and yeah you've seen this picture before lol.
Brian Thompson as Apocalypse:
Born in 69 BC in Egypt "nigeria, African" during the First Dynasty.
Born gray-skinned (although Apocalypse's skin color is sometimes depicted with different human pigment variations) and blue-lipped with natural facial markings, in the settlement of Akkaba, he is abandoned as an infant, but found by a band of desert nomads called the Sandstormers, whose leader, Baal, sees the child's potential power, decides to raise him as his own, and names him En Sabah Nur. He is taught the philosophy that the tribe lives and dies by: survival of the fittest. Nur and Baal are the only Sandstormers to survive on the day that General Ozymandias and his army destroy the Sandstormers tribe, as they find refuge in a sacred cave before it collapsed. Baal eventually dies from lack of nourishment after weeks of deprivation, but before he does, he admits to Nur that he had believed him to be a savior foretold in ancient prophecies who is destined to overthrow the pharaoh Rama-Tut. The young Nur vows to take revenge on the pharaoh and claim his destiny. He hides himself as a slave in Tut's city, where he has visions of Egyptian gods who reveal his great destiny.
The pharaoh Rama-Tut, in actuality an earlier incarnation of Kang the Conqueror who had come back in time to locate the young Apocalypse and take him under his wing, tries to convince Nur to join him, but the young mutant savagely attacks the pharaoh only to be taken down by the conqueror's futuristic weapon. Nur survives, and tries to rescue Nephri, Ozymandias' sister, who had become attracted to the mysterious slave, but Nur is ultimately rejected by Nephri for his inhuman appearance, and she turns to her brother for protection in her panic. Heartbroken by this final rejection, En Sabah Nur's prodigious mutant abilities fully emerge in his enraged state, and he renames himself Apocalypse. Rama-Tut flees the former slave's rampage, while Nur uses his advanced technology to enslave and transform his former tormentor, Ozymandias, into a blind seer made of living stone, who would forever chronicle Apocalypse's future destinies. Fifty years later, Nur revisits Nephri, now an elderly Egyptian Queen on her deathbed, and mocks the loss of her beauty and vitality, in contrast to his own unchanged appearance, despite the passage of time.
Come on, Brian Thompson is near perfect for this one, he's got the face hands down and the deep rough voice too, though if a voice over was needed, it shouldn't be a problem either. By the way Apocalypse will be done the way Davy Jones himself was done in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," CG and special effects and prosthetics together to give it that much more real feel we all need and want.
Many thanks to Wikipedia.
