When Derrick Rose went down with a torn ACL, everyone not from Philadelphia let out a collective: "Aaaawww."
Rose is a player that has done nothing to deserve hate, and has quietly pursued excellence to try to return his city to its once glorious form. He gives consistently back to his community, a community that has not seen a single banner since you-know-who re-retired in 1998. Apparently, in the NBA, no good deed goes unpunished. Just as it seemed the Bulls were going to make a major splash in the postseason and topple the Mighty Miami Heat, down went Derrick. The Bulls went on to lose in the first round to the Philadelphia 76ers, as all of Chicago wondered if the basketball gods had it out for them. Fear not Chicago. I have a plan to save your title hopes, deepen your roster, increase Rose's abilities, and possibly bring home a banner.
His name is Steve Nash. Almost everyone has Free Agent Nash going to the Knicks or Heat, teams in need or a permanent solution at point guard. While he would be an excellent addition to either roster, how long could Steve Nash play? A year? Two years? The last thing the Bulls need is a permanent solution to the point guard problem. Derrick Rose is arguably the best in the league, and is still young enough where his injury will not spell doom for his career. And although youth may be an advantage, it can prove to lead to inexperience. Imagine what Rose could learn from Steve Nash! If the Bulls sign Nash for the veteran minimum, I have a hard time seeing what either Nash, or the Bulls have to lose. Nash is a household name, NBA veteran with a 16-year career, yet 0 rings to show for it.
The 2 time NBA MVP and 8 time All-Star also seems to have discovered the fountain of youth. Despite the fact Nash is 37 years old, he still averaged a double-double for the season in points and assists. I understand that Rose is more of a scoring point guard while Nash has a pass-first instinct. But even without Rose, Chicago is not short on talent. With wily veteran Rip Hamilton and determined big-man Joakim Noah roaming the floor, Nash will have no problems finding anyone to dish to. If all goes perfectly, Nash holds down the fort while Rose recovers and returns in time for the playoffs.
And if worse comes to worse, is Nash able to carry the team through the postseason? Absolutely! This is eerily similar to what Danny Ainge tried to do last season for the Boston Celtics. The Celtics had a starting player down (Kendrick Perkins), but knew he would be back for the playoffs, then signed a veteran player on the last legs of his career (Shaq) to take over for a little while. If the Bulls follow this model, they can't miss. Rose is predicted to be out for at least 8 to 12 months. In all honesty, Nash's career may only last another 8 to 12 months. Really, this is a deal that makes sense for both parties. Nash wants to win a title before he retires. The Bulls may be one good, temporary point guard away from a title. You can thank me during the parade Chicago, this was a match made in basketball heaven.

Teams from all across Germany descend on a quiet camping ground for a week of training leading up to a final rowing competition. The plot follows the members of the RSC rowing club from southern Germany as they train for the regatta. The boys are excited by the prospects of camping with a female rowing team from Berlin. However, by a stroke of fate, the Berlin girls' team cancels and is replaced by Queerschlag ("Queerstrokes"), a gay youth rowing team, and these boys are out proud and camp it up to their full potential. Amidst the sometimes tense interactions between the members of his team and those of Queerschlag, Tobi (Stadlober) is himself forced to confront his long-time feelings for his friend and team-mate Achim (Ullmann), who is already romantically involved with his girlfriend Sandra (Miriam Morgenstern). Spurned by Achim, Tobi is devastated, but is partly consoled by his new friendship with Queerschlag member Leo (Kittel). The tension between the members of the two teams culminates in a scene set to the backdrop of a summer storm, during which Leo confronts Tobi about his homosexuality in front of his fellow team-mates. Tobi denies being gay, and, in an attempt to defend him, one of his team-mates tells Tobi's girlfriend Anke (Bachleda-Curuś) to tell the rest of his team-mates so. Anke, the only person to whom Tobi has confided his secret, remains silent.Ultimately, Tobi comes out to his fellow team-mates and his rowing team, who seem to accept Tobi no matter what, and they go on to compete with Queerschlag in the final regatta. —wikipedia
Yes, I wanted to see more post-coming out footage. Still a really good film regardless.

A. Yes. Michelle Trachtenburg, who plays Dawn Summers, was born on October 11, 1985, so her 16th birthday was October 11, 2001. The musical episode of Buffy - properly called Once More, with Feeling - was first aired on November 6, 2001, meaning she was certainly over 16 when it was broadcast. (And no, I don't know when it was filmed exactly, but I do know that Buffy episodes tended to be pretty close to the air date.)
However, if you live in a country in which the legal age of consent is over 16 then you're a paedophile if you perv over Dawn in that particular episode.

"If talks remain only at the level of words, we will attain no results," he said.
Qureshi said establishing "one-sided relations" by Pakistan will not lead to unity and solidarity and called on the Indian government to "change its policies" towards Islamabad.
"Recently, the Pakistani government has attended a meeting at the level of Foreign Secretaries in New Delhi (on February 25) to hold constructive talks and resolve the conflicts between the two sides," Qureshi told Iran's Fars news agency referring to Islamabad's efforts to settle disputes and differences and normalise ties with India.
Referring to Islamabad's relations with Kabul, he said: "Afghanistan is our neighbour and bilateral ties with them have been growing and developing on a daily basis ever since the endorsement of the joint treaty in January 2009."
Pakistan wants to "deepen relations with Afghanistan" and the government is ready to cooperate with the Afghans "at their request", he said.
The sheltering of three million Afghan refugees in Pakistan was an example of Islamabad's resolve to maintain solidarity and unity with Kabul, he added.

From The Sports Network By Gregg Xenakes, Associate College Football Editor
GAME NOTES: For the fourth time in Mountain West Conference history, the Utah Utes are off to a 3-0 start to begin a season and now the squad tries to make it four in a row as the 13th-ranked team in the nation hosts the San Jose State Spartans in non-conference play at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City.
Utah, which played in BCS bowl games following the regular seasons in both 2004 and 2008 when it also began 3-0, had a bit of a scare against 15th-ranked Pittsburgh in the opener but managed to pull out that meeting by a final of 27-24 in overtime. Already the Utes are at the top of the MWC standings thanks to convincing wins over both UNLV (38-10) at home and New Mexico (56-14) in their first road game of 2010 last weekend.
With the easy win last week in Albuquerque, Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham moved to 51-17 in his six-year career in Salt Lake City, a far cry from SJSU head man Mike MacIntyre who is just 1-2 since taking over the Spartans. San Jose State, which has fallen in nine consecutive road tests and has not won a regular-season, non-conference road bout since topping Illinois back in 2002,
The Spartans were set up to fail right out of the gate this year, scheduled to play both top-ranked Alabama and Wisconsin on the road. The meeting with the Crimson Tide pretty much went as predicted (48-3), while the battle with the Badgers was more respectable, 27-11. The team's first home date of the season had the Spartans clashing with Southern Utah and coming up with a 16-11 victory last weekend, thanks to a late touchdown by the hosts. Not only was it the first win for coach MacIntyre, it also marked the first time since 2003 that the Spartans were able to keep an opponent from reaching the end zone.
Utah picked up a 24-14 win in last year's meeting with SJSU and now owns a 5-1 edge in the all-time series.
"It wasn't pretty but we did what this team can always do which is never say die, and never give in," said coach MacIntyre after the triumph versus SUU. "I couldn't be more proud of this group of young men. We made some mistakes out there that we will have to work on and get better at, but the way this team fought back tonight was impressive."
SJSU's offense converted a mere 3-of-12 on third down and put up just 250 yards of total offense against Southern Utah, but thanks to a six-yard TD run by Lamon Muldrow with 1:10 remaining in the fourth quarter it was good enough for the win. Muldrow (27 yards) and Brandon Rutley (47 yards and a TD) tried to give the Spartans a presence in the running game but for the most part it staggered. Quarterback Jordan La Secla converted 24-of-35 passes for 193 yards and, most importantly, did not suffer an interception.
"We got after the quarterback. We blitzed him, ran line stunts, and never gave a up a deep ball," coach MacIntyre said of the team's defensive effort. "(Receiver Tysson) Poots makes big plays all the time and we were right there with him tonight. We kept hitting the quarterback, and while I hated to see him go down, I loved the pressure they put on him tonight."
SJSU's defense held the visitors to only 4-of-16 on third down and stopped the opposition on all three opportunities on fourth down as well. Travis Johnson stepped up with 1.5 sacks and Ronnie Yell posted four pass breakups to make things interesting for a squad that is eighth in the WAC and 97th in the country this week with 260 ypg allowed through the air. In terms of total defense, the Spartans are giving up 442.7 ypg and that leaves them 101st in the nation entering play.
Unfortunately, the offense hasn't looked all that much better, but considering the first two opponents of the season no one can really blame the Spartans. Having to play from behind against the likes of Alabama and Wisconsin, it is tough to get down on SJSU even though the squad is averaging a mere 67 ypg on the ground to rank 115th in the country.
"A lot of positives came out of Saturday's game," said coach Whittingham during his weekly press conference. "We were very effective throwing the ball, we ran the ball well, and we played the run and the throw well. The special teams had a complete performance for the first time this year. A big negative was that we put the ball on the ground four times and lost three of those. We've got to do a better job with ball security and get that corrected."
Whittingham was extremely pleased with the play of quarterback Terrance Cain who converted all but three of his 23 pass attempts, leading to 248 yards and three touchdowns. Cain also added a touchdown on the ground for the Utes as they completely crushed New Mexico on the road. Matt Asiata continued to show his versatility with nine carries for 32 yards and a score, while also catching five passes for an additional 54 yards.
Whittingham also recognized the play of two of the lesser-known performers on his squad who had huge games.
"Congratulations to Lamar Chapman, who won the Mountain West Conference Defensive Player of the Week award and Shaky Smithson who was the Special Teams Player of the Week. A great job by those guys."
In the case of Chapman, he registered a team-high eight tackles, seven of which were solo, made two behind the line of scrimmage and logged a sack. Smithson, who began the season shaky with a couple of fumbles, returned four punts for 140 yards, one of those going 73 yards to the end zone versus New Mexico. With back-to-back games with a punt return for a touchdown, Smithson is now one of five players in MWC history to have two returns for scores in a single season. Smithson now has plenty of time and opportunity to shoot for the league record of three in a single season, set by former Ute Steve Smith back in 1999.
Thanks to the efforts of the entire defense, along with Cain and Smithson, the Utes are now 19th in the country and third in the conference in scoring with 40.3 ppg. The scoring defense for the group is even more impressive, allowing just 16.0 ppg to rank second in the MWC and tied for 24th in the nation entering play this week. With Cain able to make plays with his feet, it shouldn't come as a surprise to find out that Utah is tied for second in the nation in sacks allowed with just one over the first three games of the season.

Ireland's John Lacey will referee his first ever RBS 6 Nations while Alain Rolland is also included in the Elite Panel in what is his last season.
"The Heineken Cup is a fantastic competition, one that has great personal memories for me, and I'm sure that will apply to all Munster supporters and players," said O'Gara.
"We're in a very difficult pool. It is one that I would have preferred not to have been drawn in. It would have been nice to have avoided a couple of these teams at this early stage to allow us to catch our breath at the start.
But with the likes of Wasps, Clermont Auvergne and the Scarlets in our pool, there is no chance of that. We have to be right from day one and any slip ups could mean we are under pressure. The quality of the competition improves year by year.
"I know that might sound like a cliché, but it is a simple, hard fact. We are setting ourselves up for Test match level rugby - starting at the Ricoh Stadium this weekend," he added.
"The Heineken Cup games, even in the pool stages, are every bit as intense as the international matches. It may even be a question of there being greater pressure in this tournament because of the level of local support and passion that is so evident when we play in these games."
Munster have stuttered in recent weeks in the Magners League, losing to both the Ospreys and Cardiff Blues and drawing with Glasgow, but Saturday's defeat of Edinburgh at Musgrave Park, in which O'Gara made his first appearance of the season, got them back on track.
"As far as we are concerned in Munster, we'd be pretty happy with where we are in our build-up to the opening pool rounds. But we all know the challenge we face in Coventry is phenomenal," O'Gara admitted.
"Wasps are a hugely experienced and battle-hardened side with a fantastic record in the competition. I think all our World Cup players have settled back into the Munster squad pretty well and the win at the weekend was just the tonic we needed.
"The way we managed to stick at it and come away with the points against a traditionally very organised Edinburgh side was very important. They came over looking for a win, no doubt about that, and it proved to be the ideal warm-up to what is going to be a massive game for us at the weekend."
Wasps have already sold more than 20,000 tickets for Saturday's showdown in Coventry and O'Gara is also looking forward to notching up another new venue on his Heineken Cup travel CV.
"I don't believe for one minute that Wasps would have chosen to take us to the Ricoh Stadium if they thought it was going to put their side at a disadvantage. After all, they played and won there in the semi-final last season," added the Corkman.
"Besides that, they are one of the most professional sides in club rugby and the venue will not act against them. As they showed against us at Lansdowne Road in the semi-final in 2004, the composition of the crowd won't deter them.
"That said, I think we will give a good account of ourselves both on and off the field and it is going to be a cracking game - I can't wait for it."
It will be the fifth season in the last six Heineken Cup campaigns that Munster have kicked-off against English opposition. Last season a dramatic penalty goal from O'Gara from the halfway line saw the province overpower Leicester Tigers 21-19, while in 2005 they lost 27-13 at Sale Sharks. Even so, they went on to win the title that season with eight straight victories after that opening day defeat.
In 2004, Munster posted a home win over Harlequins at Thomond Park, winning their opening encounter by 15-9, while in 2002, they went down to a 35-16 defeat to Gloucester at Kingsholm.
That reverse was dramatically overturned with the famous 'Miracle Match' victory - 33-6, at Thomond Park in the sixth round of the pool stages - which led to another semi-final appearance for the men in red.

James Luna and toy pose as coloful pomo Kokopelli
Saturday, September 29 at 3:30 pm at the IPCC in Albuquerque
In 1987, a then relatively unknown artist James Luna enacted a piece for which he would become as famous as Native American performance artists can hope to be. The show, which went up at San Diego's Museum of Man, was titled "The Artifact Piece," and it featured Luna lying inside a display like an anthropological "indigenous man," mocking Western modes of objectifying Native American bodies and artifacts.
Overnight, the Native American art world had "discovered" (or perhaps had thrust upon them) their own avant-garde weirdo performance artist, on par or exceeding the mainstream's heroes like Laurie Anderson, Karen Finley, and others of the period. Through spoken word, performance, and installation, (including digital installations like this one), Luna was certainly been at the forefront of the movement to fashion a new kind of Native Art, one that is quite far away from the "stuff for tourists coming off the train," that a lot of us would like to see a whole lot less of in the Native Art world..
The National Museum of the American Indian seemed to think very highly of him when it sent him as their sole representative to the Venice Biennale in 2005. There, Luna, (a member of the Luiseño Tribe of California Mission Indians) performed a piece called "Emendatio", which was dedicated to a Luiseño leader named Pablo Tac who, in the 1830s, was sent to Rome to learn Western ways and Catholicism, but died before he could return to his people.
Research this fellow, if you've a mind for that new kinda art, for this cat is the real McCoy, as interesting an artist as anyone working today, Native or not. And now you have a chance to see him, this Saturday, September 29 at 3:30 pm the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. Show up to the event on Saturday at the IPCC in Albuquerque - it should go without saying that I have no idea what kind of performance Mr. Luna will enact - but I'm sure it will be interesting and worth yer precious time.
Admission $6 for adults, Native Americans free.

Last call at Vancouver's Yale Hotel…for now
Call it the end of an era. After three decades of live rhythm and blues, Vancouver's fabled Yale Hotel will close its doors for a major renovation on November 21. The Hammond B3 organ will vacate the stage. Photos of various musical legends who performed at the Yale, ranging from former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page to classic Vancouver bluesman Robbie King, will be taken into storage. And for the following year, all that the father-and-son team of Waide and Joe Luciak will be able to enjoy about the 130-year-old Yale are their cherished memories.
In 1987, the Luciak family bought the hotel on the southern edge of the Granville Street entertainment district, about five years after its beer parlour had been converted into a blues bar by the previous owner. On this afternoon, with the familiar sound of billiard balls colliding in the background, the two sit down with the Georgia Straight in the middle of the bar to reminisce about the past.
Waide explains that King, who played with high-end Motown musicians, lived for many years in one of the rooms above the stage. Quite often, his songs were performed by visiting bands. "Robbie was such a character that if he heard the fellow on the organ not playing it correctly, he would put his housecoat on, storm down, bump him off the organ, and he would be right there playing," he says. "That is one of the cool old stories of the Yale."
Joe, the music director, then mentions that King was one of the first gay musicians to come out of the closet. "He was best friends with Long John Baldry," he notes. "He was best friends with Elton John."
King was also responsible for that in-house Hammond B3. He once told Wade that the Yale would never be a true blues venue unless he bought one. "There is no other blues bar in North America that has a B3 on-stage," he says proudly.
Others who played the Yale over the years included John Lee Hooker, Johnny Winter, Wide Mouth Mason, and Jeff Healey, as well as local blues favourites Jim Byrnes, Doc Fingers, and Tom Lavin. One of Joe's earliest memories was going to Yale staff parties as a child, where American boogie-woogie pianist Big Joe Duskin would provide live entertainment at outdoor lobster bakes. "At the time, he was apparently very important," Joe recalls. "I didn't get it when I was six years old."
He also jokes about finding horseshoes and bales of hay while he was crawling around downstairs in the area that used to be a horse paddock. "Still to this day, when we take out a staircase, it's like [opening] a time capsule, and we find all sorts of things."
Joe is proud of all the charitable events hosted in the bar over the years. He emphasizes that he was raised to treat everyone equally and that has always been the way things work at the Yale. That prompts his father to declare that it's the only club in town where you'll meet customers ranging from 20 to 65 years of age. "The girls can come in here and they feel comfortable and safe, and [they're] not being bugged," Waide says. "It's a good, safe environment, and it's clean."
From November 16 to 20, the Yale is planning five nights of entertainment built around different blues themes: boogie-woogie, country and classic rock, electric blues guitar, aboriginal blues, rockin' soul blues, and big-band blues.
The Dal Richards Orchestra will join Byrnes on the final night. It will be the first time that the 93-year-old Richards will play the Yale. In a recent interview at his downtown condo, Richards tells the Straight that he'll probably open with "In the Mood" because it always gets people on the dance floor. "The Yale is to be congratulated for all the good music," he says.
The Luciaks say they plan to reopen the blues bar in about 14 months after the renovations and seismic upgrading have been completed.

I'm going to be so Blue with no Blues?
And Brickhouse? Are they going to be OK?
Where's poor Sarah going to go on weekends?
Hey Joe and the gang all the best in getting the new and improved Yale up and running,
I'll be seeing you a few times before the 21st.
I have to say one of the Highlights for me in the past 10 years was a Sunday afternoon show featuring the Tommy Castro Band a few years back, the show was a top 10 in my life and I'm in the over 1,000 concerts seen in my time.
So my question is who's going to pick up the slack in Vancouver for the next year or so for good Blues music?
All the best with everything, and please don't lose the spirit of the place in the renos!
So sad to hear that the place is closing--even if only briefly-where will Blues Lovers go? We need the Blues!
I am back in ontario now and life is good....when I come to Vancouver this summer I intend to visit the Yale!

An Amarillo Police Officer was punched in the face by a man being arrested for an indecent exposure charge Thursday afternoon.
Police say they had an outstanding warrant for Melvin Glenn Carter, 50, for Indecent Exposure out of Randall County. The charge stemmed from an incident on March 15.
After officers waited 10 minutes for Carter to open the door, he was placed under arrest. Carter was advised to lie on the ground and place his hands to his side.
That's when police say Carter suddenly rollve over and threw an officer off to the side and began to get up. He then allegedly struck the officer in the face with a closed fist, police said.
Carter was then tasered and taken into custody on the Indecent Exposure warrand and for Assault on a Public Servant.

Original flag that flew over Alcatraz during the time it was occupied
by Native Americans from 1969 to 1971
Place: San Francisco
Date: 1969
Item # : 188251
36x60", cotton flag of red and white stripes with stylized tepee of
stars in yellow, black and brown. With "© Lulie V. Nall 1969"
lettered in lower right and in top margin. Produced by the Paramount
Flag Co. of San Francisco, from Nall's design.
The actual flag that flew from the guard tower over Alcatraz during
its occupation by members of various Indian tribes, led at the
beginning by Richard Oakes. The flag is pictured in an article on the
occupation in the San Francisco Chronicle of January 8th, 1970, with
the caption "An Indian Flag Flew from an Alcatraz Guard Tower. A
brave symbol, but below it the occupiers' unity crumbled." This
unique flag, produced as a prototype for Lulie Nall, a Penobscot
Indian and activist, is a key symbol of the signature moment of the
American Indian Movement during the 20th century. The flag is
accompanied by several folders of material relating to the flag, its
design, attempts by Nall to market it, and to the occupation.
The occupation of Alcatraz by Indian students and urban Indians on
November 9, 1969, came at the end of a tumultuous decade. It was at
first envisioned as a brief event to draw attention to the plight of
Native Americans, but soon there were demands for the deed to the
island, and plans for an Indian university, cultural center and
museum among the cell blocks. The original one hundred or so
occupiers soon left, to be replaced by other Indians from across the
country. Although the demands with regard to Alcatraz were denied,
the occupation focused the nation's attention on the American Indian
Movement and its goals. During the period the occupiers were on
Alcatraz Island, President Nixon returned Blue Lake and 48,000 acres
of land to the Taos Indians. Occupied lands near Davis, California
would become home to a Native American university. And the occupation
of Bureau of Indian Affairs offices in Washington, D.C. would lead to
the hiring of Native Americans to work in the federal agency that had
such a great effect on their lives. As noted on the website of the
National Park Service, "Alcatraz may have been lost, but the
occupation gave birth to a political movement which continues to
today." The symbol of Alcatraz also continues to this day, and the
island in San Francisco Bay is the starting point for the 30th
Anniversary Longest Walk, sponsored by the American Indian Movement,
crossing the nation to Washington, D.C., to promote harmony with the Earth.
Lulie V. Nall, creator of the flag, was a longtime activist, not only
within Native American movements, but in the quest for peace and
harmony that dominated the 1960's. The flag became the axis of her
efforts, and she made many attempts to publicize it. She christened
it Old Glory's Helper Flag, since Old Glory was in need of
assistance. In her words, "Red, represents the American Indian who
shares his tepee with fifty state governments. Yellow, Black and
Brown people are represented in the fields they help toil and join.
White, not only represents the white man and his dexterity by
planning our great land but the lightness of all hearts when
complexion is disregarded in a utopia USA…" She created a game
employing the flag as a board, with cards using the flag design, and
also designed stationery and cards using the flag.
Included in the archive is much correspondence between her and the
Kessler Sales Corporation, concerning her attempts to patent and
market her "invention"; copies of letters from her to such notables
as Marlon Brando and James Hoffa, magazine publishers, and others;
the paper pattern for the flag; five color snapshots of her and
others raising the flag on Alcatraz; an 8x10 glossy photograph of the
flag flying from the guardhouse, as published in the San Francisco
Chronicle; two copies of the Chronicle article with the photograph;
the book "How to Have a Utopia U.S.A." by Re Danaher, with the flag
reproduced on the front wrapper, along with a dummy for the revised
edition; designs for her stationery, the game, cards, etc.; and
various and sundry related items. This important archive marks not
only a milestone in the American Indian Movement, but a slice of the
turbulent times of the 1960's and early 1970's.
The flag with some minor foxing and other wear, very good or better,
the other material with the normal wear expected of such an archive.
The flag and other items are consigned by the stepson of Lulie Nall's nephew.

Today, I would like to welcome P.J. Jones – queen of the fairytale zombies! Intrigued? Read on!
1. Tell me more about how you got started as a writer and why you decided on parody and comedy as your genres of choice?
I started writing about 20 years ago when I was an English major in college. Back then, it was mostly for fun. As I grew older, my writing evolved. I eventually published a few YA paranormals with a small press. Then I became seriously ill and I needed a bit of comic relief. That's when I wrote my first parody, Romance Novel.
I fell out of the publishing business while I recovered, and when I was ready to try publishing again, I found nobody wanted to publish my crude parody. I took the advice of a few other writers and put my books on Kindle and other ebook venues. I had so much fun that I wrote a few more paranormal parodies and a dark comedy and put them all on Kindle. Then, I got my rights back for my YAs and indie published those, too. It's been a blast. I love being an indie writer and having creative control over my books. Plus, I'm actually selling more books than I sold with my publisher.
2. What do you fear? Tell me about your own phobias.
Fly swatters. I hate them. Ever look closely at one? Sticky bug guts and leg and wing pieces. And most people keep them in their kitchens. Gross.
I do not fear failure as an author. Frankly, because I've failed enough times to know failure is an eventuality in this business. So is success if you try hard enough.
3. Romance Novel is a parody of a certain well-known sparkly franchise – what do you think it is about T******* that makes it such a popular subject for comedy and satire at the moment?
It's okay, you can say Twilight. Or are you afraid millions of Twi-hards will lynch your website? Back, Twi-hards, back! Ack! I'm choking on glitter!
Why is it a popular subject for comedy? Hmmm, whiny teen girl meets sexy undead, sparkly stalker. What's to poke fun of?
4. The Vampire Handbook is an essential guide for those adjusting to the undead lifestyle – what is the worst mistake a newbie vamp can make?
USING YOUR IMMORTALITY TO GET LAID: Do not tell a mortal you are a vampire, just to get laid. This plan, though it works in most paranormal romance novels, will most likely cause a human to run screaming in the opposite direction, leaving you with no other alternative than to silence your mortal crush by draining his/her blood. This, in turn, will leave you heartbroken and sad, causing you to go on an eating and shopping binge, leaving a trail of carcasses and non-biodegradable impulse purchases of handbags, fishing poles and crystal vases.
5. In addition to dry cleaning, what other service industries do you think could benefit from a living corpse workforce? Or have they already been hired and we've not been told?
Oh, I have another free short story out called Melvin the Vacuum Salesman Zombie over at www.curiosityquills.com . Selling vacuums is a great new job for Melvin because the victims' neighbours can't hear the screams over the loud vacuum motor.
6. Are there any other monsters in the bestiary that you think could benefit from the P.J. Jones treatment?
I have already parodied sasquatch, aliens, Hannibal Lecter, Santa, leprechauns, genies, The Hunger Games…All of these stories are free at Curiosity Quills: http://curiosityquills.com/category/special-columns/paranormalady/
And I recently published a fairytale zombie parody, Attack of the Fairytale Zombies! It's got hobbits, knights, witches, wizards, dragons… If you are a LOTR fan, you'll either love or hate my book.
7. Tell me who are amongst your favourites when it comes to comedians?
Daniel Tosh, Seth Green and Seth MacFarlane.
8. Can you tell me some more about what you are working on at the moment?
I am working on a YA fantasy, a YA paranormal, a YA ghost story, and a paranormal parody.
9. What is a typical writing day for P.J. Jones?
Not enough writing. Too much goofing off on FB. I try to get in at least 1-2K words a day.
10. So what does 2012 hold for P.J. Jones? Any last words?
Curiosity Quills Press is going to combine all of my short stories into a novel titled, Paranormalady. I'm also trying to squeeze in Pride and Prejudice and Vampires. But with all these other books I have to write, I hope I can finish them all before the December apocalypse.
Thank you, P.J. Jones!
As the official Royal Dragon Slayer of Fairytale Kingdom, Barth descends from a long line of monster-killing knights. There's only one problem: Drag, the kingdom's resident cross-dressing dragon, is also Barth's best friend.
When the King orders Barth to kill Drag, Barth knows they have to flee the kingdom or else another knight will do the job. But after a beautiful witch begs Barth to stay and help rid the kingdom of a dreadful zombie curse, Barth discovers he may have found his true calling. Is he knight enough to stop the zombie outbreak, save his best friend and get the girl?
Attack of the Fairytale Zombies is available from the following links:

Re: skype?

It is shameful that, so many years after the digital revolution,
proprietary formats such as those championed by microsoft are *mandated* by
the industry, educational institutions and (in mexico at least) government
departments. In fact, I recently had problems with my yearly tax
declaration due to it only supporting and running on some version of
Internet Explorer.
Hopefully, we can all make that change.
In the case of skype, I understand that their contributions to VoIP have
been pioneering and extremely successful as a tool for individuals and the
enterprise community alike. However, every company that doesn't support
standardization is extremely short sighted and detrimental to the healthy
growth of the field they represent.
Anyway, sorry for the hijack..

I am concerned with the "big brother" privacy,
Then, sadly, Ekiga is *not* the answer for your needs as it doesn't
support encryption. (one of the reasons it's not a fit for my needs).
Kphone, Jitsi, Mumble, QuteCom, Linphone, MicroSIP, SFLPhone, and Blink
do. Note that not all are multiplatform, see one of my previous posts to
this thread for a list of those that are ported to the three main PC
Note also that Skype is encrypted, but Skype has a history of handing
out the private key.
The term "handing out" makes me curious. Who exactly are they handing it
out to?
Personally I am presented with a few requirements from my employer to be
able to use Linux as my work OS. One is MS Word the other is Skype, with or
without key handed out.

Two conversations interesting conversations happening on Commons right now. One is about the deletion of an apparently embarrassing image uploaded by Ash/Fæ and deleted at his request. The other is a deletion request by an editor of the Hebrew-language WP who was photographed in proximity to another editor that they consider to be a troll.
The first conversation deals with an image being deleted at the uploader's request. I can recall seeing requests from editors to have their own uploads deleted being denied on the basis that they were "encyclopedic" and in use. No such argument was raised in this case - in fact they were not subject to a deletion discussion at all. Some editors are more equal than others, it seems.
Commons also deleted images uploaded by David Shankbone (those ones taken on the set of a Michael Lucas gay porn movie shoot that caused WP to be blocked by some filtering systems). It is unclear to me if images can be deleted at the whim of the uploader (assuming the images are in use and otherwise "encyclopedic"). Obviously, they can be deleted, but how does this align with the stated rules of submitting images to Commons and the licensing used? If I were using that image on my website, would linking back to the original Commons image satisfy the terms of the license? If that original image is deleted, am I no longer satisfying the license? Without getting into too much detail, what are the effects of deleting an image on Commons that is being used elsewhere?
The other discussion is more nuanced. The editor requesting deletion apparently asked the uploader not to upload images that included her and the other person. There is clearly some bad blood here. The complainant is shown in the background of the image and her face is not visible. Is this an issue of "personality rights"? The image is largely useless outside of WP, and is possibly being used to taunt an overly sensitive individual, but I have to ask myself "what would Derek Coetzee do"?

Abortion zealots attack women's center in Sioux Falls
"Yesterday was a tough day. There have been numerous imposters posing as women in crisis in order to gain access into our building, but yesterday we had a woman who was taking pictures through the windows in broad daylight! After calling the police, we found out that she is employed by Planned Parenthood! You may ask, "Why would anyone do this?" Right now we are winning a judicial battle against Planned Parenthood! There is a law in the courts that will save many unborn lives through stronger restrictions on abortion. We know that we are making history! This is the reason they are trying to intimidate our center. For the personal safety of the people who work here on the front lines, and the well being of the women we serve, we need to purchase a state-of-the-art security system with camera surveillance capability."

We should expect the pro-abortion crowd to continue this type of stuff as their position gets harder and harder to hold. Minds are changing. The tide is slowly shifting! It's also unsurprising, considering these tactics are very similar to those used by that O'Keefe guy and Live Action. They're basically copying them. Should we applaud Live Action while condemning this behavior? Do the ends justify the means? Thoughts? |

Formula 1 commercial boss Bernie Ecclestone has jumped to the defense of Lewis Hamilton over his recent on-track clashes, insisting that fans want to see drivers battling wheel to wheel.
Hamilton has been on the receiving end of criticism after a spate of collisions in Monaco and Canada, which included accidents with Felipe Massa, Pastor Maldonado, Mark Webber and Jenson Button. But Ecclestone insists that those upset with Hamilton should rethink their attitude, because F1 fans would prefer to see drivers fighting hard than following in their rivals' wheel tracks.
"People have been wrong to rubbish Lewis," Ecclestone told Britain's The Independent newspaper. "What we want is people racing, and all the people who watch it want that.
"If you analyze what's been happening and how other drivers have been performing, Lewis shows up very well, and so do Sebastian [Vettel] and Jenson [Button]. So let him race. That's what people like him do.
"I was very, very good friends with [Ayrton] Senna, and if you look at what he did, he was a racer, too, and people had to move over for him.
"Perhaps Lewis has made one or two questionable moves, but so have many of the others, and nobody bothers to look at what's happening farther down the field. It's always been like this. We saw a lot of people racing in Canada on Sunday, and Jenson did a super job. That's what the fans want to see."

On twitter, I asked, "why is diabetes social networking important to you?" My friend Jenny replied "I can't drive, so going to many tweetups isn't an option. It's nice to have Twitter to 'chat on' with other PWD's."
So when Manny Hernandez of TuDiabetes.com, asked for some help with a project for Diabetes Hand Foundation, I simply couldn't refuse! In an effort to raise diabetes awareness and to prepare for World Diabetes Day (11/14) Manny is asking people affected by diabetes to make a video using one of your five senses to describe how diabetes impacts your life. The project is called "Making Sense of Diabetes" for submissions, the dates are as follows:
Sight - week of Sept 28
Hearing - week of October 5
Touch - week of October 12
Smell - October 19
Taste - October 26
With healthcare falling down on its knees, these social sites are gaining value, it sharing information and strategy, making friends and finding out that the "d thing" has its place and that it doesn't have to consume you, or be ignored!
For more details for Making Sense of Diabetes, click here.

For those city dwellers who only experience cheese coming from a deli fridge case, here is a working dairy not far from the beaten track where you can see the cows, take a tour of the dairy and bakery, and then buy the goods. We bought some cheddar and one of the rindy-musty cheeses. The cheddar was the favorite, being tangy and sharp, with crystal crunchy bits in it that reminded us of Dubliner cheddar. Cheese prices seemed to be a flat rate of $25/pound, an acceptable price for artisanal and extremely local products. The dairy is easy to find, and once inside you won't be overwhelmed by indecision because the variety of products available is kept at a minimum. There's frozen grass-fed beef also available, and jars of nuts stored in honey. Without a tour, you can be in and out in less than 10 minutes, and if you're not sure of what cheese or bread to buy, samples are provided. My friend and I were on a slow meandering roadtrip to Frenchtown on a sunny autumn afternoon. A pitstop here provided the basics for a picnic snack and extras to take home. Very enjoyable. Bobolink Tonight was a tasting session of the cheese from Italy. I attended with Sue. Kathryn made a point of selecting cheeses that weren't the obvious Italian ones, like parmigiano and the like. She focused on the regions around Piedmont. Starting at 12:00 on the plate, and moving clockwise: * La Tur – Cow, goat and sheep's milk, from Piedmont, aged 2-4 weeks. * Quadrello di Bufala – water buffalo's milk, from Lombardy, aged 3-4 months. * Salva Cremasco – cow's milk, from Lombardy, aged 3-4 months. The name means "save cream" and there are varying theories to what this means. This cheese is made from the milk skimmed of cream, so the cream is saved for other purposes. It could simply be the definition of cheese – a way of preserving dairy. Duh. Who knows. Anyway. * Piave – cow's milk, from Veneto, aged 12-14 months. * Verzin di Capra – goat's milk, from southwest Piedmont, aged 3-4 months. The wine of the night was Palmina Dolcetto, which I skipped. Lightweight. Event note: it had been a long time since I'd attended one of the tastings. When the shop first opened I went to nearly every one. I recall that there was more time to talk amongst ourselves to compare notes about each cheese. Over time, this has gone away and Kathryn does nearly all the talking. I suspect this is because people don't know what to say and everyone just looks to Kathryn for guidance. I wish we could talk more. I understand I'm probably in the minority here. Still, it's an enjoyable evening and quite educational on cheese, which we, as podunk uneducated people who think cheddar cheese is bright orange and the rest only belongs on pizza, can use a little more enlightenment. C'est Cheese What goes best with a highly coveted bottle of 2007 sparkling shiraz FIZZ from Municipal Winemakers? I don't actually know, but we got nice pizzas to pair it with and were happy with the results. I'd been holding onto this bottle for a while, looking for the right occasion to open it. Christmas came and went, my birthday came and went. But who needs an event? I hauled the bottle up to SF with me and gave it to my friends. Becca suggested Gialina's pizza, from the Glen Park neighborhood. As with most of SF, parking is unpredictable. And we had this bottle to drink. So we ordered ahead for pickup and brought them home. Zucco pizza: butternut squash, ricotta, ricotta salata, sage & brown butter. This was Becca's pizza and a fine choice. If you like pumpkin ravioli with brown butter sage sauce, you will like this pizza. All the flavors of that ravioli, but also a delicious crust and piles of ricotta cheese. I got the nettles pizza: wild nettles with pancetta, mushrooms, red onions & provolone. I think nettles was on my mind since Damon ordered a pasta and nettle dish the evening before. This was robust and toothsome, and the nettles ranged from soft and gooey, to dry and crunchy, depending on where it sat on the pizza sauce. Finally, Damon got the four cheese pizza, using ricotta, provolone, gorgonzola, pecorino & herbs. We ate, drank, and were merry, until we got the wine snoozles. Gialina – Glen Park neighborhood Cheeeeeeese! It smelled musty heavenly, and was a cool place to hunker down in the summer heat. The lady assisting us was super helpful with cheese talk and samples, but terrible at public transportation recommendations. Can't win them all. Neal's Yard Dairy (Covent Garden) It seems like dinner on a Friday is a tradition best pursued at home. Of this five: two of us were tourists, one of us was leaving the country the next day, all five of us love food, three of us could food talk anyone under the table and one of us was very very hangry after a bad day at work. Avignon had a lot of work ahead of itself to sate and please us. And it succeeded! Cocktails were good, wine was good. For food, we shared an assortment of goodies. We started with oysters and an order of duck fat fries. Next was cheeses with little accompaniments like local honey served with the blue. And lovely juicy house-cured smoked salmon with roasted beets and walnuts. Then duck rillettes, chicken liver mousse, breseola (above photo). We grazed, with two types of bread throughout the meal – a soft chewy rustic white and thinly sliced crisp and sweet dark bread. And for dessert, pineapple upside-down cake, pecan pie and chocolate mousse. Nobody could pick a favorite of the savories, everything was good. As soon as one person would spotlight the salmon, our eyes would go back to the duck, then to the chicken, then the cheeses. No, everything was perfect. But for the dessert I particularly liked the pineapple cake, fully caramelized. Really, though, I can't criticize anything. Bar Avignon (Clinton, SE) |

Sick blog. Any way I could get an interview with the master blogger, Sir Colin?
Name's Lizzy Harmon, email@example.com. Originally from Bensonhurst, but working and living in Stamford, CT currently.
Been following your stuff. Really cool stuff. In between my day job and my night job, I've started work on an online magazine with some friends in my area. Our focus is extreme sports, hobbies and passions. The eclectic stuff. We're working on our first issue (badass biker dudes from Red Dog in Middletown, CT; group of Boston skydivers; few others) and it'd be cool to include you. Especially with all that crazy stuff you do on that oversized nail file!
My best friend's brother taught me. But I can't pull off anything you do. Another reason this blog is so cool to me.
Anyway, if you are interested and have the time, email me (firstname.lastname@example.com) and we can set something up.
Ciao :) - April 10, 2012 at 12:03 AM

A rock climber from is using his head for heights to paint a lighhouse in Talacre on the North wales coat.
A ROCK climber from Llanberis, in North Wales, is using his head for heights to renovate lighthouses, bridges and other tall buildings.
Dad of two Rob Pritchard, 34, learnt to climb in Snowdonia and took an Industrial Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA) course which qualified him to work at heights.
His latest project is the 192-year-old lighthouse owned by the Talacre Beach Leisure Group, near Prestatyn, which needs around 450 litres of paint to protect it from the elements.
Rob said he has also filled in large holes near the base of the 60-foot lighthouse which are caused by storm damage.
"So far we've used nearly 400 litres of paint and it will be more than that by the time we've finished," said Rob, who started the renovation on 13 April 2010.
"Most parts have had three coats but some have had four.
"The roof is difficult because that's made of metal and it's very thin in places," he said.
Rob's grandfather was a merchant seaman and he's found Talacre Lighthouse mentioned in his sailors' logbook.
Helping Rob is his climbing partner Ian Williams and the pair have rigged a steel hawser round the balcony which acts as an anchor belay.
Rob uses an abseil rope to lower himself from the top of the lighthouse and another to hold the paint tins.
He carries a metal piton with him which has been handed down to him from climbers in his family and this "lucky charm" is used to prise open the paint tins.
Rob said a lot of visitors have stopped to chat but his favourite was an elderly couple who asked if he would take their photo.
"There was a couple who came up to us and asked if they could have a photo taken beside the lighthouse," recalls Rob.
"It was their fiftieth anniversary and they had their first kiss next to the lighthouse 55 years ago.
"They were so cheery it was unbelievable. The woman could hardly walk but fair play to them for making it back here," he said.
In 1775 two ships ran aground near Talacre in "ferocious" storms and 200 passengers and crew perished together with a cargo of jewels, silks and spices believed to be worth £40,000.
Reports show that "beach ghouls" clubbed survivors to death and robbed their bodies which sent a shockwave through the local maritime community.
The original lighthouse was built at a cost of £349 and its first keeper Edward Price was paid 15 guineas per year "and one guinea more for Christmas".
Today it is owned by local businessman James McAllister, 66, who bought it at auction in 1983 together with part of the beach and since then its preservation has become his passion.
"It was totally derelict, it was burned out and that's been my folly for a number of years in restoring the lighthouse," said Mr McAllister who has 13 grandchildren and a 14th the way.
"It is the oldest lighthouse in Wales, it was built in 1777 and it took an Act of parliament to build it.
"There is a great sense of history and I wanted to save it because it was falling down and it's not only a listed building it's a listing building.
"So my company bought it and two-and-a-half-acres of beach which is very unusual because it's below mean high-water mark which means it belongs to the crown .
"The Crown wrote to me a few years ago and tried to take it but there was a special dispensation to overcome their natural right.
"During the Second World War the RAF commandeered it and all along the warren, although it was inhabited, they put a firing range to train young spitfire pilots.
"They put up signs saying "firing in progress" so school children coming to and from had to stop and so forth.
"And there were RAF chaps with a radio at the top of the lighthouse with binoculars and they could feed back to the pilots their hits."

Riverside County will use eminent domain to take a portion of a vacant lot to build an underground channel that will save the Elsinore Valley Cemetery from yearly floods.
But the Orange County family that has owned the 33-acre property at Collier Avenue and Riverside Drive for 48 years are not happy with the move.
Some form of the $8 million Arroyo Del Toro channel project has been envisioned since the 1980s. But over the past decade, the flooding problem has been exacerbated by nearby development.
The development surrounding the cemetery forced runoff water into a catch basin which feeds 20 culverts – each of which are pointed directly at the burial ground, said cemetery District Manager Diana Russell.
During the worst recent storm, in 2005, thousands of gallons of storm water rushed through the cemetery, flooding Riverside Drive, washing away hedges, collapsing the main roadway and exposing graves.
When it rains, cemetery Russell joked that she has to convince herself to go to work.
"I don't want to come in, because I'm afraid of what it looks like," Russell said.
Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Assistant Engineer Stephen Thomas told county supervisors the underground tunnel would be the largest project for the district in many years, and was much needed.
"It's staggering the amount of water that comes … it's a mind boggling amount of water," he said.
The county, which has been setting aside money for years, now has the funds to finish the project. But there is still one snag.
Debra Wong, whose parents bought the land for their kids and grandkids to develop someday, said the project will cut through the "choicest part" of the property.
The project is underground, but the Wongs would not be allowed to build on top of it, save for parking space or landscaping. It would cut through the northeast corner of the property, near the intersection of Collier and Riverside, the most visible portion of the lot, she said.
The Wong's real estate broker, Gary Washburn, said the county initially offered $116,000 for the land, and then $226,000. An appraiser hired by the family recently put the land's value at $620,000.
Debra Wong said Wal-Mart offered the family $9 million for the entire lot a few years ago, but her father wanted the family to develop the land.
Supervisors last week voted 4-0, with Jeff Stone absent, to use eminent domain to take over about five acres of the property.
Wong said her family is resigned to the fact the project will cut through their land. They're just looking for fair compensation, she said. She said the family will now probably have to take the county to court, costing everyone money.
"All we wanted was a fair shake," she said. "That's all."

Last week I was fortunate enough to snag a ticket to Tuc Watkins's (David, OLTL) new play, White's Lies, at Manhattan's New World Stages. It was such a treat to see one of my favorite OLTL actors in a completely different medium (and only four rows away).
I hope everyone is tuning in to OLTL this week because today and tomorrow are the last days of its special musical, Starr X'd Lovers. Friday it got off to a great start with all the girls at Foxy Roxy's singing The Go-Go's classic "Our Lips Are Sealed," and Starr, Langston and Danielle singing Pat Benatar's "We Belong." Well, today's episode really kicked things up a notch, and not just with its rousing opening number, "I Gotta Feeling" by Black Eyed Peas, but with any number of major story point-turning moments.
I gotta feeling ... this year's Llanview High musical is going to be off the hook! I just got back from a special preview of Starr X'd Lovers at the OLTL studio and the resounding reaction from actors, press, crew, etc. was "Amazing!" Executive Producer Frank Valentini and Co. got a standing ovation, and we didn't even see every musical number from this three-day event, which begins on May 14.
Tonight is one of the "final three" episodes of ONE TREE HILL, a show that is dangerously teetering on the edge of cancellation (word is it's up against LIFE UNEXPECTED for a time slot next season).
Since the start of what looked like a John and Natalie reunion on ONE LIFE TO LIVE, I've maintained that a) it's too soon for Natalie to be moving on from losing her husband, Jared (sniff, sniff), and b) John's relationship with Marty is so ho-hum that creating a triangle with Natalie won't really have an impact. I still stand by those two arguments, yet I found myself moved by Natalie's unexpected confession on Friday's episode.
Although OLTL's Trevor St. John did not establish the role of Todd and his bizarre rivalry/obsession with Marty that had me riveted in the 1990s, his chemistry with Susan Haskell has drawn me in since her 2008 return. After chewing Marty out for her own son's behavior in today's episode, he suddenly began to act like her patient, asking how he could possibly win Danielle's affection.
I've been meaning to blog about this for some time but wanted to wait until it played out on-screen, which has only further reinforced my feeling that Alexis's affair with the mayor on GENERAL HOSPITAL is a bunch of poppycock.
Oh, yes it's Ladies' Night! And the feelin's right. Oh, yes it's Ladies' Night ... in Springfield! I loved the twist that Doris is a lesbian on today's GUIDING LIGHT.
Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce you to Ms. Rachael Yamagata? This talented singler/songwriter/pianist is the latest in a string of top performers to grace the stage of an OLTL nightspot and I had the pleasure of watching her tape yesterday! She may not be sharing the spotlight with Beyoncé but you're sure to recognize her songs from shows like ONE TREE HILL and THE O.C. and films such as Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. OLTL magic man Paul S. Glass, who's responsible for luring amazing acts to Llanview, revealed that her performance will accompany a moving montage at the end of the April 2 episode.
Sunday morning in Brooklyn went something like this: work out, go to church, visit the bakery, cry with Genie Francis. Yes, I DVR'd Saturday night's Hallmark premiere of THE NOTE II: TAKING A CHANCE ON LOVE, the follow-up to the 2007 tearjerker, THE NOTE, also starring Francis. This is seriously the sweetest series.

Julia Stiles
Celebrity Babes Home / Entertainment Channel
Julia Stiles is the Holy Trinity: natural beauty, talent and intelligence all rolled into one tiny, and might we add stunning, package. Julia isn't the hottest actress on the market, but she still manages to deliver one hell-of-a-punch every time we see her. A young Julia Roberts to many, Julia Stiles took matter into her own hands at age eleven when she personally wrote a letter to the La Mama Theater asking for an audition. Not only did they give her an audition, but they snatched her up as one of their prestigious students, quickly booking her spots in small theater productions where she could show off her undeniable talents.
After appearing as a guest star in the popular teen TV series "Ghostwriter," Julia went on to pursue a television career and gained critical recognition for her role in the NBC miniseries "The 60's" in 1999. Julia effortlessly began her budding film career in the Shakespearean hit "10 Things I Hate About You," winning a MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Female Performance. Julia may not be considered a star, but she definitely has the rare qualities needed to make it in Hollywood today, named as one of Teen People's 21 Hottest Stars Under 21 and currently attending Ivy-league Columbia University on her downtime.

Julia Stiles on the Screen
Julia exploded on to the teen film scene with her breakthrough hit "10 Things I Hate About You," a present day retelling of the Shakespeare classic "The Taming of the Shrew." Julia continued to appear in the modern day Shakespeare classics "Hamlet" and "O," before finally making her mark with the critics in "Save the Last Dance." She has also most recently appeared in the romantic comedy "A Guy Thing," "The Bourne Identity" and "Mona Lisa Smile" with Julia Roberts.
Latest Buzz
While Julia has appeared in a number of successful films in the past, she keeps her work schedule simple. Julia's down-to-earth lifestyle has kept her out of the Hollywood limelight for the most part, but now that's graduated from Columbia University, Julia has lined up a nice selection of upcoming films, including the thriller "A Little Trip to Heaven" (December 29), the David Mamet-scripted "Edmond" (December 20), "Going Down," and the romance film "Burns."
Julia Says
On her career as an actress:
"I like analyzing human behavior. It's complex. That's what keeps me going."
On appearing in numerous Shakespeare films:
"Just because I had done (''10 Things''), I wasn't going to turn down the acting experiences of my life."

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Police officers found a puppy buried alive near a pit in north Florida.
Williston Police Chief Dennis Strow told The Gainesville Sun that officers were disposing of evidence per a court order Thursday when they heard whimpering sounds.
Once they found the source of the sound, they started digging and rescued the puppy. He was head-first in an eight-inch hole and they believe he'd been there less than an hour.
Strow says the puppy was rushed to an animal clinic, where workers fed him with a baby bottle and started him on solid food.
The chief says the puppy, who is about two weeks old, will be placed "in a loving home."
In the meantime, Strow says police want to know who buried the puppy.

Dell Will Launch 7-Inch Apple iPad Competitor in Weeks: Report
Dell plans on launching its 7-inch tablet within the "next few weeks," according to a company executive quoted Sept. 29 in The Wall Street Journal. That executive, Dell Greater China President Amit Midha, also suggested that a Dell 10-inch tablet would make an appearance within the next six months to a year.
"It was showed off at Oracle [OpenWorld] by [CEO] Michael [Dell] last week, and we'll be launching very, very soon-within the next few weeks," Midha is quoted as saying.
A Dell 7-inch tablet would follow its 5-inch Streak, which launched in the United States Aug. 13. That 5-incher runs Google's Android 1.6 operating system, features front- and rear-facing cameras, and is priced at either $549.99 unlocked or $299 with a two-year AT&T contract.
Michael Dell revealed the Dell Streak 7-inch during a Sept. 22 presentation at Oracle OpenWorld, but remained close-lipped about specs or a possible release date. In addition to the growing tablet family, Dell's forays into mobility include the 10-inch Inspiron Duo, which can be used as either a tablet or a netbook; Dell plans on using a dual-core Atom chip for that device.
"Michael made the point that devices are changing and evolving rapidly to keep up with the way users want to get their data-anytime, anywhere," read a Sept. 22 posting on Dell's corporate blog, Direct2Dell, referencing that OracleWorld appearance.
Dell also plans to profit from the back-end infrastructure that supports those mobile devices. During a summer conference for financial analysts, Michael Dell suggested that the burgeoning mobile market represents a chance to increase sales of servers and other hardware.
"There has to be servers and storage to support all the data that is being pulled by users, and this is an exciting opportunity for us," he told analysts at the event.
The Dell Streak and its successors face competition not only from the Apple iPad, which rekindled interest in the consumer tablet segment earlier this year, but also upcoming products such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab and Research In Motion's PlayBook, a BlackBerry-themed tablet unveiled on Sept. 27. Both the PlayBook and Galaxy Tab feature 7-inch screens.
Rumors have also circulated that Apple is preparing a 7-inch iPad of its own. That scuttlebutt extends back to August, when Digitimes Research predicted a 7-inch iPad due in the first quarter of 2011 and armed with an ARM Cortex A9-based processor.
