One of the Hottest Chicks in Hollywood: Julia Stiles
One of the Hottest Chicks in Hollywood: Julia Stiles
Cover girl Julia Stiles is taking Tinselton by storm. With her lucious good looks and loads of talent, she commands A-list attention.
By Lesley Goober
Special Offer
Cosmo: How do you balance school and acting?
Julia: It would be great to go to school all year and do movies during the summer, but it doesn't work that way. I'm not Julia Roberts, so I have to be flexible. I'm doing a movie called
A Guy THing
this winter, so I'll probably have to start my second semester a bit late. Luckily, the deans at Columbia are understanding
Cosmo: How is dating in Hollywood different than dating on campus?
J: I'm dating a guy at Columbia right now. Dating in college and dating in Hollywood are actually really similar in that the relationships don't last long. Other than that, lots of people in Hollywood tend to be narcissistic, and it's hard to have a relationship with someone like that.
Cosmo: You've worked with some hot guys. Have you ever wanted to date any of them?
J: Ethan Hawke, if he hadn't been married when we filmed
together. He's fnny and charmgin. When I was filming
Down to You,
Freddie Prinze Jr. and I were both dating other people, so we kind of agreed to keep things professional.
Cosmo: What do you look for in a guy?
J: He definitely has to be open-minded and have a sense of humorI want to have fun with the guy I'm with. But of course, sexual attraction is really importantwithout that, you'd just be friends. I think Latin guys are really sexy. They generally fit into that whole tall, dark, and handsome thing.
Cosmo: Who's the best kisser in Hollywood?
J: Heath Ledger. It was actually my first on screen kiss, while we were doing
10 Things.
Cosmo: What would you change about yourself?
J: Guys seem to like big boobs, so I guess I'd give myself bigger boobs.
Cosmo: How do you deal with the body-image issues that come with being an actress?
J: I have pessimistic moments when I think I should go on a diet because people are paying money to see movies with exceptional-looking actresses. But being in college has helped me realize that the best thing I can do is to feel good about myself and forget about other peoples standards.
Cosmo: How do you feel about doing nude scenes?
J: I've turned down a lot of roles because of modesty. I've been told so many times that that I'd have to take my clothes off to do a movie. I certainly don't disrespect actresses who do nude scenes, but I don't know if I could do it. I don't think I could even deal with being nude in front of a [camera] crew.
Cosmo: When was your "I made it" moment?
J: When
Save the Last Dance
opened and it was a really big success. I finally felt like I fit into this world.

Public Space & Room Usage Policy
Printer-friendly versionSend by emailPDF version
The physical space at Morris Library has been designed, in part, to enhance and extend the Library as a center of academic community and campus life: intellectual, social, cultural, and creative. To this end, a variety of spaces have been created. The Library welcomes campus organizations and University-affiliated groups to hold events, meetings, and other functions in Morris Library. Request by other groups may also be considered as identified in this policy.
This document explains the policies related to room usage at Morris Library. In all areas, exceptions will be considered. All requests for exceptions and special permission must be received in writing and granted in writing by the Office of the Dean of Library Affairs.
The following groups are eligible to request rooms and space at Morris Library. Note: eligibility for room usage is different from room charges which are explained in a later section.
- Organization or units that are organizationally part of the University. Examples: academic colleges and departments, research centers, University business/operational centers (e.g., Information Technology, Physical Plant, Financial Aid, University Museum, etc.)
- Organizations or groups affiliated with the University. Examples: Alumni Association, Faculty Club, RSO's, Friends of Morris Library, SIU Foundation, etc.
- Other organizations, especially non-profit organizations, whose primary mission and intended event or meeting is instructional or research-related and which may contribute to or enhance the academic or cultural life of the campus.
The Library will give priority to requests from affiliated groups (1 and 2 above); requests from other organizations will be considered but will be subject to availability, ease of scheduling/ accommodation to library hours, and relevance of the proposed activity to the mission of the Library as a center of academic community and campus life.
Reservation Time Frames
Organizations may initiate requests for reservations up to one year in advance. All event details (scheduled time, requested equipment, etc.) are required no later than five business days prior to the event. Requests made after this time are not guaranteed and additional fees may apply. Cancellations are required ten business days before the requested event (see cancellation for additional details).
Request and Scheduling Process
- Requests must be made using the Event Space Application. The Library encourages electronic submission to email@example.com.
- Events must occur during normal library operating hours. An up-to-date schedule of Library hours is maintained online.
- Requests during final exam week and study period (the week before finals) will be considered but may not be approved due to the special constraints and demands on space during this time.
- No space at Morris should be used for regularly scheduled classes over the course of the semester.
- When a reservation request is made, it can take up to three business days for Administrative Office staff to process the reservation.
- Once it is processed, a confirmation e‐mail will be sent to the primary contact person and will include a signed copy of the Rental Request Form and a Quote for Services
Food and Drink
- Use of food and drink must be requested (see space request form). If approved, all groups should be conscious that the event occurs in a library and that food and drink can attract pests that are harmful to books and printed materials.
- SIU maintains a list of approved caterers that you may use for your event.
- Use of alcohol may be permitted if requested. If approved, the requesting group is responsible for seeking necessary and appropriate permissions from the University (http://vcaf.siu.edu/Forms/vca0101.pdf). The Dean of Library Affairs must sign the form as "Facility Director." This form should be submitted with the Space Use Request Form.
- In all cases, groups are responsible for food and drink with vendors including service arrangements and payment.
- Most rooms have built-in computer capabilities for display and internet access (see room inventory). The Library is responsible for ensuring that these capabilities are operational.
- Wireless access is available throughout the building but it is not recommended that groups rely on wireless connectivity for internet access.
- Supplemental technology may be moved into the space for the event as may be necessary. This must be arranged by the requestor. Technical support of supplemental technology is the responsibility of the technology provider. Supplemental equipment and tech support costs are the responsibility of the requestor.
- All Library workstations include the standard Windows-based office applications (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) and internet connectivity through established browsers (Explorer and Firefox). Other desktop applications must be confirmed as available by the Library or provided by the requestor. The Library will work with requestors to test and confirm all computer applications or connectivity prior to the event.
Furniture and General Usage
- Groups may rearrange furniture in the room to accommodate usage, but furniture should be returned to its original location at the conclusion of the event.
- Rooms do not include flip-charts. Groups intending to use flip-charts should either bring their own or make arrangements with the Library. Charges will apply.
- The Library has limited additional seating and tables available for rent (charges will apply). Furniture may also be brought in by an outside vendor. Groups are responsible for arrangements with vendors including service arrangements and payment.
- Liabilities and Insurance. Groups not affiliated with the University may be required to purchase insurance for the event.
- Cancellation. Cancellations should be received at least ten business days prior to the event. If notice of cancellation is received in that time, no cancellation charges will be incurred. Cancellations later than ten business days will incur a cancellation fee of one-half the appropriate rate. Cancellation fees will be waived if weather conditions or other emergencies cause the cancellation. The Library may deny future requests for space, especially in the case of multiple cancellations. The sponsoring group is responsible for cancelling any other non-library services that it may have arranged (such as catering or tech services and support).
- Parking. Groups not affiliated with the University must make arrangements with University Parking. The Library is not responsible for parking tickets as may be issued. Information about parking is available at: www.dps.siu.edu/pk_welcome.htm and a helpful FAQ at: www.dps.siu.edu/pk_info_faq_101.htm
- Library Name. Groups may use the name of Morris Library in materials related to the meeting. Any use other than to identify the location must be approved separately. Invitations must not give the impression of Library sponsorship unless the Library has agreed to be a co-sponsor of the event.
- Safety. Due to fire code regulations, the number of guests attending the scheduled function may not exceed the capacity of the room. In additional, all aisles leading to exit doors cannot be obstructed. The maximum capacity of each spaced is addressed in the public room/space inventory.
Event Technology/Support Charges
Event charges are those fees assessed by the Library for event support and technology. Other direct usage charges may also be incurred, such as the cost for, food, equipment, furniture setup, and cleanup. The requestor assumes full responsibility for all direct usage charges. Requestors are also responsible for any damage charges that may occur from usage. Library related set-up charges may apply at the discretion of the Dean of Library Affairs and will be quoted once the official request is received.
The Library has two levels of event charges: off-campus groups and University affiliates. University affiliates are defined as:
- Programs, units, and offices within Academic Affairs (those that report to Provost/Vice Chancellor, including those under the reporting line of Associate Provost for Academic Affairs.)
- Campus groups with an organizational affiliation with the University. Examples: RSO's, Alumni Association, Faculty Club, University Administrative units, etc.
The Library has established these rates at very competitive levels to encourage usage of the event and meeting spaces in Morris Library. Most groups will be charged these rates. However, the Library will consider discounts up to and including the waiving of charges for event space. Such reductions are exceptions and at the discretion of the Dean of Library Affairs. In considering such requests, positive factors for reduction or waiving of fees include:
- Visibility of the event at a national or regional level;
- A strong relation of the meeting or event topic to library mission and interests (e.g., an event exploring Open Access and Scholarly Communication);
- Active involvement and engagement in the event by a Library Affairs faculty or staff member(s);
Limited or constrained funding by the requestor is not a compelling or satisfactory justification for a reduction or exemption of fees. Further, while the Library may be able to reduce space usage fees in selected cases, usage charges for direct services (e.g., special furniture needs, extra technology requirements, etc.) are not generally waived or reduced. Also, reduction or waiving of fees may be done for one-time events but not generally for repetitive, ongoing events.
Groups that wish to be considered for fee reduction/waiver should advocate for their request on the Library Space Request form and address the factors indicated above. The more criteria met by the request, the more compelling the argument.
If the Library grants a reduction in fees or waiver, the requestor must agree that the Library will be acknowledged as a co-sponsor during the event and with all event publicity and materials as appropriate.
** In forming this policy, the Library reviewed a number of other library space usage policies from other institutions. Helpful information was found at the web sites of the libraries at UMass Amherst, University of Minnesota, Carnegie Mellon, Central Michigan University and others. In a few cases, wording has been used directly from selected sections of these other policies.

EATING TO LOSE: Eat lots of heart-healthy, high-fiber, low-cal fare like fruits and vegetables, researchers say

The Best Science Writing Online 2012
Showcasing more than fifty of the most provocative, original, and significant online essays from 2011, The Best Science Writing Online 2012 will change the way...

Some say the secret to losing weight is forgoing greasy, fatty foods like French fries; others swear that shunning carbs in favor of all-protein grub is key. Many popular weight loss plans recommend that dieters consume specific ratios of fat, protein and carbohydrates. (The Zone diet, for instance, prescribes 40 percent carbs, preferably complex carbs like veggies and whole grains, 30 percent protein and 30 percent fat). But a study published today in The New England Journal of Medicine suggests that the smartest way to lose weight is to eat heart healthy foods (think: Mediterranean diet—lots of veggies and fish, limited amounts of red meat) and reduce your caloric intake.
"Reduced calorie, heart-healthy diets can help you lose weight, regardless of the proportions of fat, protein and carbohydrates," says study co-author Catherine Loria, a nutritional epidemiologist at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute in Bethesda, Md.
The researchers, led by Frank Sacks, a professor of cardiovascular disease prevention at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, focused their study on 811 overweight and obese adults ages 30 to 70 in Boston and Baton Rouge, La. ("Overweight" includes those with a body mass index (BMI) between 25 and 29.9; people are considered obese if they have a BMI over 30. The BMI is a standard index used to gauge body fat based on a person's height and weight.)
The study subjects were divided into four groups, each assigned to a special diet. One group ate a "low-fat, average-protein" diet (20 percent fat, 15 percent protein, 65 percent carbs); a second consumed a "low-fat, high-protein" diet (20 percent fat, 25 percent protein, 55 percent carbs); a third followed a "high-fat, average-protein" diet (40 percent fat, 15 percent protein, 45 percent carbs); and the remaining group ate a "high-fat, high-protein" diet (40 percent fat, 25 percent protein, 35 percent carbs). All four regimens were heart-healthy (low in saturated fat and cholesterol) and included 20 grams (0.7 ounce) of daily dietary fiber. For each study participant, the researchers calculated personalized daily consumption levels ranging from 1,200 to 2,400 calories per day.
When the researchers measured the body weight of the participants at various points over two years, they found that all four groups were shedding roughly the same number of pounds over time.
"No matter which way you look at it, there were no [statistically significant] differences between any of the groups," Loria says. At six months, the average total weight loss for all of the groups was approximately 14 pounds (6.5 kilograms); by the end of two years that number had dipped to about nine pounds (four kilograms). "A lot of times in these weight loss studies, people tend to regain," notes Loria, adding that she will now study strategies that help people keep lost pounds off.
"This study dispels the long-held idea that a low-fat diet has an advantage over other diets," says Christopher Gardner, a nutrition scientist at Stanford University School of Medicine, who was not involved in this research. The only downside of this or any weight loss trial for that matter, he notes, is that people do not always stick to the diets assigned to them. (The study authors acknowledge that many participants failed to meet their target fat–protein–carb ratios, even though they were given regular counseling and feedback from nutritionists throughout the two-year period).
None of the individuals in the diet groups reduced their average carb consumption to less than 43 percent, including those given a 35 percent target, Gardner says, noting that tighter restriction of carbs may have led to greater weight loss.
"I would like to see the results of a study testing a diet that was about 30 to 35 percent carb, about 40 to 45 percent fat [and] about 25 percent protein," he says.

Before turning himself over to Jacksonville police to face charges in the slaying of his girlfriend, Calvin Bruce Wright told his family the two fought over something she posted on Facebook.
"All I remember him saying is, 'It's on Facebook. I tried to get her phone to see,' " said Deandres Young, who spoke with his brother outside the jail Friday morning.
Wright, 24, is charged with murder in the Thanksgiving Day death of Rolisha Thomas, also 24, after the two argued outside the house where she lived with her mother and family on the corner of West Second and Almeda streets. Wright lived with his family two doors away on Almeda. He'd been there since leaving prison in April at the end of a three-year burglary sentence.
Police said Wright and Thomas were arguing after Thomas told him she was breaking up.
Young said his brother and Thomas had been together for a month or two and had been staying with a cousin for a few days. When they left there Thursday morning, all seemed fine.
"There was more than her saying she is going to leave," Young said. "There was something more."
Wright ran after the shooting and Young said his brother fled "out of fear," then called family before going to the downtown police station.
"Evidently he was somewhere downtown waiting for us," Young said. He said the family met with Wright in front of the jail.
No one was at Thomas' house Friday morning.
Neighbors who heard the shooting said Thomas fell in front of a utility pole outside the fence of her house. One neighbor who went over to her said Thomas was unresponsive.
Another neighbor said he saw the couple arguing outside around noon but didn't interfere because it wasn't an uncommon occurrence. He'd driven away by the time police were called a short time later.
Police told the Times-Union that as the argument escalated, Wright pulled a handgun and shot Thomas several times.
Wright is charged with murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and driving without a license.
Another brother of Wright, Tim Griffin, said his younger brother has had mental heath issues in the past and been in a doctor's care.
"This morning we're still waking up like in a fog," Griffin said.
"Everybody's suffered," he said of the two families. "Everybody's got a loss now. Our hearts go out to this girl and her family."

Director of Artist Relations
The purpose of Artist Relations is to strengthen the community spirit as well as network with fellow artists so that we may bring outside opportunities to you, and help you to hone your skills. The Gallery Directors are the first people you should go to regarding your galleries. They are the people you need to make gallery suggestions to, and ask questions about your specific genre, or seek knowledge from. They also act as your lifeline to the administration. They are here to support and listen, and I can tell you we've got incredibly talented, devoted and passionate people on this team, so get to know them!
Important things first! I take a size small.. my favorite colors are green and pink and I like oatmeal cookies HINTHINTNUDGENUDGE ..<cough> Alright ...alright.. but do have a safe and happy holiday season everyone
Due to personal time constraints, `smashmethod has opted to leave the AR team for now. We thank him for his dedication and wish him the best in the future
While I will be filling positions for gallery directors in areas like Anthro, 3-D and wherever else I find a hole, I am not doing it until after the new year. I appreciate the enthusiasm of the community but I require time to assess the current team and decide what is needed. Thank you
I have completed the task of selecting all of the artists for the BT/Thomas Dolby tour. I appreciated this project because I literally spent hundreds of hours in thousands and thousands of galleries over the course of two months. I found artists Id never known about and it really renewed my love for deviantART. Congratulations to those artists that were selected, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
As the end of the year draws near, I am spending time summarizing the year in terms of Artist Relations in order to make a plan for the upcoming year. To this end I ask for your input. I would like to hear your thoughts on improving the galleries and Artist Relations. Id also like to know what is working for you and what isnt. If you would like to contribute to this, please send me a note with the subject Suggestions for 2007.
I would like to draw your attention to Editorial: v5 News by `bananaprincess as a perfect example of a brilliantly executed editorial.
Please check out the project ~Word-worth-1000-pics
We now have a category called devWEAR portraits under the dA related gallery. This is where you can model your new devWEAR swag J
I have to clean up the categories in Resources -> Tutorials. There are hundreds of thousands of miscategorized deviations now that the new category structure has been created. With that being said, this is the new main category structure:
Resources -> Tutorials ->
- traditional art
- digital art
- web design
- application reference
- non-art
The following categories on the main list (if you browse) are set to be removed. If you have deviations in this category they must be relocated to the correct category or they will be moved to scraps for you to relocate later prior to the category being deleted so as not to delete your work
- 3d studio max
- Blender
- Bryce
- Dreamweaver
- Flash
- Lightwave
- Maya
I thank you for your cooperation, I will begin relocating things to scraps toward the end of next week.
If you contact the help desk about something to do with a deviation please link said deviation. It certainly helps me to respond faster to your issue
Looking for contests? Find a list of all AR sponsored contests here
The Key System
As you can see at the very bottom there is now a Key System. The way this will work is simple. If you have a specific inquiry or suggestion for a specific department, begin your comment with the appropriate Key Code, that way we can search the page and compile them and address them. Neat, huh?
There are a couple of things I'd like to touch on. The first is a congratulations to ~emilymartian on her being featured in "New Mini" magazine and you can read about her experience here.
Second, with the introduction of the way back feature I've begun a massive cleansing of the Photojournalism Gallery. So far I've cleaned up to August 2001, this is proving a task as in the beginning there was only Photojournalism misc. followed by events, people, and then military...so you can see there's a great deal that's changed and deviations were never moved accordingly. By the time I'm done, the sub par stuff will be out and the gallery should look top notch.
Next I want to touch on something that is related to the above. When a gallery director moves something, it's moved because it's in the wrong category..now it may be in the right gallery for instance a photo of a public protest should be placed in Political, or Public Gatherings..not concert and musicians...get my point. When a piece can fit in more than one category, or doesn't belong in the gallery outright, a gd will move your deviation to Scraps...this is not to say your image isn't worthy of your gallery, it's just placed there, so that YOU can move it to a more fitting place in your gallery. So what I'm getting at here is before flipping out and writing a scathing journal about the big bad gallery directors take a step back and send in a help desk ticket and get a proper reason as to why your image was moved. The Gallery Directors are here to work with you, not against you. And please remember the Photojournalism gallery is about "newsworthy" images, so leave out the pics of you and you friends goofing off at school etc. or of your new kitty Max..they can be the greatest deviations ever, but they just don't belong in Photojournalism.
Lastly, after a great many requests I'd like to introduce the newest addition to the Photojournalism Gallery:
Images or series of images taken to accompany an editorial piece or photographed in a documentary style. Photo essay's would also be submitted to this category. A series of random snapshots DO NOT belong in Documentary/Editorial, but may be uploaded to your scraps. Images containing date and time stamps will automatically be moved to your scraps.
I guess that's all for now..oh one more thing. Time stamps..please people, PUH-LEASE read the manual on your camera, turn off time stamps!!!! They do nothing for your image what so ever othe than make it seem like a cheap snapshot..and we all know where snapshots belong don't we? Let's hear it..all together now... SCRAPS!! and that's where I will be placing anything with a time stamp on it. Can't figure out how to remove it? Then please crop it out.
And on a completely unrelated matter...please check out the 12 dAys of Christmas contest on now and win yourselves some fancy swag! read the news here news.deviantart.com/article/24…
Artistic Nude Photography
Over the last few weeks Ive seen a large amount of work submitted to the Artistic Nude gallery that does not adhere to the deviantART nudity policy. These guidelines are in place to ensure that we have a high quality website and galleries that conform to their own standards. So PLEASE read this document FAQ #23: What are deviantART's policies on nudity? before submitting you work.
I cant believe how many times Ive seen deleted deviations resubmitted over and over again sometimes up to three times.
If your deviation has been deleted because it was in breach of the deviantART nudity policy this does not mean you can resubmit it again under a different name, change the colour, rotate it or submit it in a different gallery.
Id like to say a big thanks to all the people out there helping to report such deviations as this youve all been a wonderful help!
DD Suggestions
Is everyone on holidays already? I miss getting my inbox full of DD suggestions everyday. If you see a wicked piece of Artistic Nude work you would like to see featured feel free to drop over to or myself and send us a note with your suggestion. All you need to do is ..
1. Title your note as DD Suggestion
2. Send us a Link with a brief description
3. Make sure the image doesnt have 100s of favs
Its great to choose unknown artists where possible so we can bring those hidden talents out into the open
Nature Photography
The first changes in the Animals, Plants & Nature category are done. You can see below that a lot of things are completely new and that some stuff has changed. It's a big step for the Animals, Plants & Nature community into the future.
I got so much feedback during the last few months and tried to include all your suggestions into the new category structure. It was a long process to reach that point but you see that it's really a massive change and in the right direction. Thanks again for your massive feedback and response.
New Animals, Plants & Nature Category:
* Astrophotography
Closeup -> Animals | Nature
Dogs & Cats
* Elements
* Flowers & Plants
* Geology
Human & Nature
Insects & Arachnids *renamed*
* Landscapes
Mammals -> Domesticated Animals | Wild Animals
* Miscellaneous
Reptiles & Amphibians
* Waterscapes
Weather & Sky *combined*
Ok, you can see that the new system is separated into:
Animals: Birds, Closeup (Animals (Macro shot from a butterfly for example), Dogs & Cats, Insects & Arachnids, Mammals (Domesticated Animals, Wild Animals), Reptiles & Amphibians, Underwater (fish for example)
Nature: Astrophotography, Closeup (Nature (Macro shot from a leaf for example), Elements, Flowers & Plants, Geology, Human & Nature (A girl with a butterfly in her hand for example), Landscapes, Underwater (reef for example), Waterscapes, Weather & Sky
Plants: Flowers & Plants, Closeup (Nature (Macro shot from a flower for example)
Most stuff is already active, but some big changes will come the next days like Mammals, etc. If you have misscats in your category -> please move it to the right category otherwise nobody will find it. You have new categories, begin to use it. Contact me if you need help.
Your help is needed. The categories are fine, but they need fitting descriptions that everybody can understand. Confusing Descriptions are a pain and we can avoid that. I want to involve you in that process, you must work with that category system and the best way to secure that everyone understand and respect the descriptions & guidelines is to offer you the chance to suggest descriptions for it.
Descriptions means -> a good explanation for the category -> 1 - 3 sentences long.
An example: Photojournalism Sports -> Photographs of sporting events, locations, equipment, or athletes taken to document the wide world of sports.
We need descriptions for:
- Birds
- Closeup ( Sub Categories: Animals, Nature)
- Dogs & Cats
- Mammals (Sub Categories: Domesticated Animals, Wild Animals)
- Reptiles & Amphibians
- Underwater
Good Descriptions are really important. Use your chance and get involved.
1 x 1 Year Subscription to dA + 2 x 3 Months + 2 x 1 Month Subscription are waiting for the people as little thank you for the best suggestions.
Get started! I
Topic: What is a Close Up (Macro) and should I upload my shot into this category?
Let's see the Gallery Desc on dA:
Closeup definition: Photography in which the image on film or electronic sensor is as large or larger than the subject. Otherwise it's not a Closeup-Shot and not the right category.
Additional Info:
For example, suppose a photographer wants to take a macro photograph of a coin on film. With the lens set for a magnification of 1:1, he or she moves the camera to and fro until the coin is in focus, then takes the picture. After having the film developed, the photographer can place the coin on the film, and the coin will be exactly the same size as the picture of the coin on the negative or slide.
In recent years, the term macro has come to mean being able to focus on a subject close enough so that when a standard 102×152 mm (4×6 inch) print is made, the image is life-size or larger.
Next, the photographer photographs it from farther away, this time, setting the lens to a magnification of 1:4, again moving to and fro until the coin is in focus, and taking the picture. The real coin is now four times as big across as the image; that is, the image and the coin are in a 1:4 relationship. If a 4× enlargement print (about 100×150 mm) is made, the size of the coin will match the size of the photo of the coin. That is, the image is life-size, or 1:1, in the print.
Technical requirements:
Shots in this category are done:
by reversing the lens using a "reversing ring" or
by using a special-purpose lens called a macro lens or
placing an extension tube between the camera body and the lens or
by using a bellows attachment between the camera body and the lens to extend the lens to film plane distance or
by attaching a telephoto extender between the camera body and the lens or
by reversing a lens of lesser focal length in front of a normally mounted lens using a "macro coupler," which uses two male filter threads to join lenses.
Some examples:
:thumb44809626: that isn't a Close Up
that is a Close Up
that isn't a Close Up
that is a Close Up
that isn't a Close Up
that is a Close Up
:thumb17888102: that isn't a Close Up
:thumb25715193: that is a Close Up
:thumb32636165: that isn't a Close Up
that is a Close Up
Please consider that if you upload shots to the Close Up-Section. The Close Up category is one of the most suggested category additions and a good addition for the nature & animal photographers on dA, but if the gallery ends full of misscats nobody will be happy in the end.
It would be nice if you would tell your friends about it (if they do nature photography on dA).
Stock Art
And the Stock Art was hung from the Chimney with care In hope that Saint Nicolas would soon be there
Greetings from Sandi .. `oibyrd and David !radioPooh
Your prince and princess of stock art , Your Mac Daddy and Mac Momma, Your Samson and Delilah , Your Archie and Veronica of the Stock world
Etiquette and being constructive
There is a difference in slamming a piece of art and being constructive. A few feel that it is there right to really slam art ( especially stock art)
I think we need to build a new world order in the art world where we try to help fellow artist to make their art better .. if you dont like a piece of art .. then let them know . but let them know why and how they could make it better ..
the comment your picture sucks makes me want to reply your comment sucks but with a few more insightful words it could have been constructive
We just want people to play nice .. If you come under attack . dont attack back .. travel the high road .. one technique I do when some one slams me is to make a positive comment on their art ..my way of balancing the scales and taking the high road
Stock Art is planning a get together at Stonehenge in 2008 where we will form a big ring during the summer solstice by holding hands and singing we are stock art. Okay just kidding . but it could happen if we believe
Comics and Cartoons
Hiya guys and gals! There's only a couple of things I need to rattle on about this week. First things first, the Day in the Life of a Deviant contest is officially over and closed to entries! I've contacted the other five judges and the results should be ready to unveil sometime within the next week. I am VERY pleased with the outcome and for those who entered. Good luck, guys!
I'm currently going through the Comics and Cartoons gallery in its entirety and moving things around or deleting violations. I've begun work in the 2001 submissions so if you see any of your really old work getting moved or deleted please don't panic. If you have any questions about it please contact the +helpdesk and your ticket will be forwarded to the appropriate admins. Just to add a bit to this... I've had to move a large amount of recent deviations from C&C to Manga/Anime. If your work is obviously anime please place it in the correct category. If you refer to your comics as manga or Doujinshi then i'm goin' to move it there! Manga/Anime was given it's own category so please take advantage of it! Copyright violations will be removed regardless of your credit to the original source. Do not use dA as a dumping ground for "pretty pictures you found on Google". That goes for any edits of artwork that isn't originally yours as well... unless, of course, you have valid permission from the original copyright owner. That doesn't mean from the site that offers ripped sprites from Sonic games. That means you need to contact Nintendo and ask their permission before your sprite comics or edits can be posted on dA. Furthermore, please don't use other folks posting artwork like this as an excuse. If you see others getting away with copyright violations that doesn't mean it's okay. That just means they either haven't been reported or the administration hasn't seen the violations yet.
For the record, I love how festive Comics and Cartoons is lookin' right now. So I will close this with a heap of holiday cheer thrown your way! Oh, and `noseSHARK is starting a clothing line made of fruitcake. I'm wearing the boots right now. Sturdy suckers, they are!

News and Thumbnail Smorgasbord
Not much news for us, We really still need newsletter content and DD suggestions especially. We want to also press a point. if you have a problem with a DD thats been posted, don't be a complete idiot about it. Suck it up and move on. not everyone will share the tastes of the artist or the person choosing the DD. Thats because everyone is different. that doesn't discredit the work that goes into a piece of art, or make it not DD worthy. So be a grown up, you don't share the opinion, oh well get over it. Maybe next time you will suggest something you like better. but really, insulting the deviation makes you look like the biggest most jealous geek in the universe. Also remember a critique has to sound like a critique, not an insult. any old whining cant be written off as a critique just because you say it is... be constructive, and also point out some positive aspects to the piece. if you don't have the skills, or open mindedness to analyze a piece objectively, you should really consider your capability of giving a critique before possibly making a fool of yourself, or hurting someones feelings.
Digital Art
Not a lot to point to this time but things are happening. The Digital Vexel gallery is under construction and will be sent in before the ending of the year. The goal is to give the vexel artists a Christmas present all their own. I will continue to read through the comments and notes sent to me so a more unified description can be written. Hopefully both vector and vexel artists will be happy with the results.
Keep the daily deviation suggestions coming, I'm excited at what has been suggested so far this month. I tend to feature more sci-fi and fantasy work, as well as fractal but the goal is to highlight all the digital galleries. If you don't see areas represented, please send me some suggestions.
On a similar note, `smashmethod will be greatly missed from the digital directors ranks. I tended to stear clear of featuring 3D work because he covered those bases with excellence. Now that he has stepped down for personal reasons, please continue to suggest 3D works for daily deviations. Both `nighty and myself are general digital directors and we both have a passion to help the digital galleries get exposure. I showcase 3D work in some of my news articles so I'd be more than happy to help out the 3D areas by featuring them for daily deviations, please send your suggestions my way.
Until next time, have a happy holiday season.
I would like to remind you that I follow certain rules when choosing DDs and if you want to suggest any to me, it might avoid disappointment if you read them first.
- photomanipulations ONLY
- last DD must be longer than 6 months ago, preferrably no previous DDs awarded
- Stock sources have to be listed
- Don't suggest yourself!
- Please send me a note with the link to the piece you want to see featured
If you haven't read them yet, here are the first four issues of "Manip Tips & Tricks": Next up: $fourteenthstar
Designs and Interfaces
Hi, just a few things I'd like to cover so here goes:
Firstly, I've moved quite a few deviations from the tattoos gallery into scraps lately and the reason for that is that I don't believe photographs of tattoos should be placed in this gallery. However, I stand corrected by $Moonbeam13 that I should allow such deviations to remain within the category. As a result, those that submitted help desk ticket, I'll have your deviations moved back. My apologies. But before I wrap this up, I would appreciate that you clearly state in the comment area that the tattoo was inked by yourself. Failure to do so would result in your deviation being forwarded to scraps for being in the wrong category. This doesn't only go for the tattoo artists but for every designer that submits within the DI gallery. If it's not obvious that your deviation is of a particular nature, it's wise you give a brief comment.
Secondly, a new category has been created for Mascot designs. Mascots are not logos although their function is similar. So I'm asking that you move any such deviation you have into the Mascot category. If you have a lot of deviations that is of this nature, note me and I can do a mass move for you.
Another thing I would like to point out is to check if a deviant has already received a DD feature before recommending them. I say this because as of late, a lot of recommendation are for deviants whose work I recently featured. So when I don't feature your suggestion that's probably the reason.
That's it for now.
It's an unwritten law, that beside summer holidays, christmas time see a large amount of AVS releases. Trust me, this year won't be any different, new compilations from ~Winamp-Forums, #visbot and :devavsociet: are imminent.
Those who think, that the Winamp plugin scene or more specifically the AVS scene is dominated by a few guys will be proven wrong when looking at the fifth installment of the New People Selection series. This compilation features some of the hottest upcomers and some extremely rare presets.
Second feature in this newsletter would be minipack 3 by ~WotL. Long time no see, mister.. good to see him back.
Firstly as this is the last newsletter before christmas, I hope you all have a great holiday and all get what you want and not necessarily what you need
the wallpaper gallery is definately the place to be this winter as we currently have two great competitions being run! Be sure to check out the following:
Exotika II - Environment Creation Challenge
Check out the link here: news.deviantart.com/article/24… for the full beef on this awesome competition being run by =Suirebit in collaboration with the Wallpaper Gallery.
In a nut shell, Exotika 2 is for digital landscapers and features ice as it's main theme. It encourages all you landscapers and spacescapers to create cold, exotic worlds all in neat little wallpaper packages.
Closing Date in 31st December 2006.
And as if that wasn't enough!!
Winter Wallpaper Contest.
For everyone else who wants to do a winter themed wallpaper with no holds bared then this is the one for you!
Sadly however, this competition is limited to members of #europeans so if you aren't currently a member, get your ass over to the page and sign up!!
To find out more about it, check it out here: news.deviantart.com/article/24… or the journal here: europeans.deviantart.com/journ…
Happy holidays guys!
Skins & Themes
Hullo! I'd like to begin by drawing your kind attention to the 2 new galleries, for Windows Media Player 11 and for Fan Skins. Fan Skins will include skins and themes for various applications, that depict artwork/images of products, television shows, movies and so on. Generated skins, however, will not be allowed. Please read this news.deviantart.com/article/19… for more information on our policy on such skins.
Nothing much else to report. I'd love to see some nice holiday-themed skins before this year is out, and might also be giving out goodies to those who humour my request! Lastly, please show some love here: ~Skinning #StealThisCSS
After the tutorials are done we will be fixing up the texture categories!
We want to create new categories so searching for the perfect texture will be fast and easy. We would love to hear any ideas or suggestions you guys may have.
The resources newsletter will be coming soon! There has been a delay due to stuff going on in my personal life but in the near future we will have this up and running. We still need a name! A few months back I was offering a 6 month sub to anyone who can come up with a fun catchy title. We didn't get many suggestions so the offer still stands. Anyone who can come up with a cool name for the article will get a 6 month sub! So send me any ideas you come up with.

We have a cool new zine category!
Traditional Art
Please check out the first of a set of written features that hopefully will become semi-regular Traditional Art Topics: Pop Art.
With the holidays approaching, you would do well to keep your eyes on the Literature News and on the Literature Forum for some projects that are coming along. You can bet there will be some gifts for writers ready to get involved, as well.
The Literature Forum itself is now seeing a bit of a change. Previously, we have had our workshops within threads in the forum as sticky topics. This was meant to be a temporary solution, and the more permanent addition has now come to fruition. The Literature Workshop Forum allows you to post your own threads for your poem/prose piece. It will allow the forums to be much more organized, and give you more control over how your poem is shown. Normal rules apply, and you can read the rules at the forum or by clicking here
Make sure to check out the latest LGU for more info, as well.

So I have downloaded the CS6 suite to test before I sign up for the Creative Cloud.
I am finding AE CS6 to be slower than CS5.5, when I scrub through the time time line in CS5.5 I get an update in a pixelated preview but in CS6 all i get is the bounding boxes of the layers moving and ocasionally a really really pizelated preview which is usless. Adobe bosted that this iteration of AE to be faster than the previous, but I can't see it. All I am animating is basic 2D text!!!
Do I have to set up my Quadro 4000 or should it just work?
Yes, it sucks. Update your graphics driver. Also in the prefs turn off the "show internal wireframes" option. This causes a lot of unnecessary flicker. Other than that, feeel free to turn off that fast preview crap and use the full quality setting in the comp viewer to revert to software only mode... At least that one still works.
Well, it may be fast with playing back certain footage formats, but clearly someone forgot that AE's primary use is still compositing, not being a finishing add-on tool for Premiere or a hardware accelerated color correction tool. Therefore any operation involving blending modes or transparency calculations that cannot be handled by the graphics hardware will make it cringe and that is a lot of times. Likewise, there will always come a point when the amount of footage used, with or without fancies, is simply too much for any graphics acceleration and then the dance begins: decode with GPU acceleration, realize that the card is out of resources, shuffle it back to main RAM, do blending calculations in software, convert back to hardware buffer to retain the illusion of GPU acceleration. Oooh yeah... And of course all that will multiply by a factor of 10, if you start mixing formats and operations that may cause fast previews to revert to software mode or degrade adaptive quality in teh first place... It positively is a nightmare.
Shall I tell you my dirty little secret? I start all my projects in CS4 even today and even only use CS5/ CS5.5 when I really have to because I need a specific feature there or for rendering the result to avoid memory errors. Do you smell a distinct "Better safe than sorry!" in there? I hope you do. So yes, go with what works and use CS5.5.
Better than a Quadro 4000? Not really. What little gain you would see from a Quadro 5000 or 6000 or whatever will be the next in their product line will not make up for the deficiencies in this new-fangled preview system in AE CS6. I'm afraid that's one for the software engineers to put right. And yes, of course, more RAM is always better, at least when you do your stuff in CS5/ CS5.5 where it actually can be addressed by the app. Not so much in CS4 of course, since it is 32bit. Just don't expect it to do miracles - when your comps are not "heavy" enough, you won't see much of a difference, it will just give you more headroom for those millions of particles in particular or otehr suche memory intense plug-ins.
CS6 is much slower than 5.5 on my Mac Pro, and across all its programs, not just After Effects. In Premiere Pro, when I just try to move a clip I get a beachball that lasts a minimum of 30 seconds. I have to keep the mouse button pressed till it stops spinning. Today a 100 frame sequence took a full 5 hours to render, and it was unrendered the next time I opened the project. I installed a Quadro CUDA card today and it hasn't helped enough to matter at all. I'm starting to wonder if I have a virus.
Just a little updade.. I have increased my ram from 8GB to 32GB, after efects cs6 now performs much better. still not better than CS5.5 did with 8GB of ram. Don't really know what the problem is as Adobe havent replied to this link. Not sure how they can say this ugrade is all about speed lol
Are you sure it's not the global performance thats making it run faster? When I've ram previewed a clip then it's good with updates and re rendering, but to scrub a clip with no previews already cached... NIGHTMARE!!! Could you tell me what my settings should be?
8 Core Xeon running of 32GB of ram?
Same problem here. I'm running a Mac Pro 2 x 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon, 64 GB RAM... And with AE CS6, I can hardly do a single thing. It's more a CPU issue it seems. CPU running at over 90% most of the time. Hopeless working like that.
So, I'm back working on CS5.5. VERY DISAPPOINTED.
Obviously a bug, so I'm hoping there will be an update soon!
My system barely meets the requirements of CS6, and was working fine for a while and then slowed way down. Long story short (I just undid a lot of typing here) it turned out to be a simple 3D text layer was d r a g g i n g o u t even the worst quality ram previews. It was long string of numbers used as a background element, nothing funky done to it beyond an extrusion value of 2. There is other, way more complexly styled and animated text in this comp, but much shorter and causing no problems. Once I changed the long text layer's extrusion value to zero AE was back to it's (relatively) zippy old self again. This is probably not what the OP needs to hear, but I figured I'd share as it's tangentally relevant and is worth looking into if you find a sudden slowdown. YMMV.
I have found that extremely heavy comps (lots of effects and CPU / memory intensive processes) will bog down the interface to the point that it's not usable. Clicking to turn off a layer is met with at least a 3 second delay while my comp is set at third rez (1920 x 1080) with adaptive resolution turned on. Forget about scrubbing the position or scale properties. The only way I can get accurate feedback with layers is to solo the layer, make the adjustment and then unsolo, wait 5 seconds or so and then see how the change looks. This same project file in CS5.5 is MUCH faster as far as interactions and layer manipulations go. I need to test further with disk caching turned on and off as well as overall render time but as of now, CS6 is more difficult to use on bigger project files simply because of the UI is painfully slow.

SSD drive for AE cache
I had problems when I started using AE CS6, but I realized that if I turned off Ray Trace for 3D comps my computer performs 10x faster than CS5. Ray Trace in AE is cool, but it slows my system way down. I'm sticking with Lightwave for now when it comes to 3D. I'm also experiencing another problem with my bounding box not staying with my text and when I use the move behind tool the bounding box stays, but the anchor point moves?? Is this a bug maybe?

Hi there,
I didn't do the jump yet, still running my CS5.5 (since am in the progress of some works and can't really do it right now) but it's a matter of days. Before start reading anything related to CS6 performances I got the feeling that those wouldn't have been the same. Adobe says there will be improvements, regardless of the machine you got, keeping in mind that of course some features described as depending to CUDA acceleration in their white papers won't work under non-Nvidia cards. Ok, I can deal whit it, ray tracing stuff is good although not essential to me, dealing those kinda thiings with my 3D package. However, certainly I wanna know if the update is gonna bog down my system.
In my thoughts, I guess some considerations need to be taken in account about global cache performance. Surfing around on the web I found this comment on a Prolost article, which you can read here: http://prolost.com/blog/2012/5/24/ray-tracing-in-after-effects-cs6.htm l
The comment in reply to the article says:
"Ok, a little cautionary tale about a new feature in CS6 - be careful where you put the Global Cache folder.
Adobe suggest putting it on a separate drive to your system for speed, but it's also worth doing that for safety...
I spent the weekend working in AE CS6, and the noticed that disk cache is large. 50 Gb on average during the time I was working. In an earlier post I said that CS6 seemed a little more crash prone than previous versions, and that also the crashes were harder than most - the app just vanished at times in front of my eyes with no warning.
Last night the drive that I was using as my cache became very corrupt - to the point that it couldn't be fixed with disk utility or Disk Warrior, and I had no choice but reformat it completely.
Luckily the workstation I was using has 3 internal drives and I'd taken Adobe's advice an allocated a spare one to be the new GC - so it was frustrating but not too big a deal.
However the point is, I did this for speed - I didn't think about what happens if you're regularly reading and writing 50Gb of data in single comp and crashes happen.
If the GC was your on system drive, and that drive wasn't fully backed up, this would be very bad indeed - you be looking a complete re-install of the OS and applications.
Its worth noting I'm really liking the global cache feature - it's big improvement. I'm also definitely not pointing the finger at Adobe for my disk dying. My directories could have had some problems already which I just exposed by continually swapping so much data so quickly. This is not the most scientific test - I could have been causing the crashes by using a drive with errors...
A 50Gb disk cache of small separate files is a lot of balls in the air for the hard drive. If you get crashes some of that data may get corrupted - which in turn may make crashing more likely. Your disk will then get chewed up fairly quickly, and you may not notice this. I didn't.
Lesson to self: Global cache should be on a drive that really doesn't contain anything else of value - FOR SPPED AND SYSTEM SAFETY. This drive should maybe be reformatted and verified regularly, so that it functions as Adobe intend it to.
Because it will be doing a lot of hard work for you."
I think it's a great advise that maybe not everyone have been following yet, so, hope this will be useful for someone of you having your system running unpredictably slow (and unaware of the dangers).
I have ran into this myself. I realized I get better performance in AE CS4. I am not sure why
I shared my thoughts on it and workflow here.

Shearon Harris nuclear plant in New Hill, N.C.
Image: Jim R. Bounds Bloomberg via Getty Images
In Brief
- Utilities have proposed 22 new U.S. reactors. The designs are under renewed scrutiny to determine whether they would survive extreme threats.
- Safety features in the new designs kick in during accidents even when all electricity is lost and without the need for human intervention.
- Questions about the lead contender, the Westinghouse AP1000, could complicate its final approval by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
- Even if advanced designs can withstand huge earthquakes and tsunamis or a plane strike, utilities must still balance design costs against safety gains.

Editor's note: This article appears in print with the title "In Search of the Black Swan."
Half a world away from Japan's stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, deep in the pine forests of Georgia, hundreds of workers are prepping the ground for an American nuclear renaissance they still believe is on the way. Bulldozers rumble across sunken plateaus of fresh, hard-packed backfill that covers miles of recently buried piping and storm drains. If plans stay on track, sometime next year two new nuclear reactors will begin to rise from the ground—the first reactors to be approved in the U.S. in more than 25 years.

In Lovell, Maine, fifty miles north-west of Portland, on a Lake Kezar Country Club and Golf course, you will find the best beer bar in the world according to Beer Advocate Magazine. Ebenezer's Pub serves 35 Belgian beers on tap and over 700 well kept bottles.
By far, this is one of the most fantastic places to find beer anywhere. Upon our arrival, we were lucky enough to be carrying a camera. Often, this blatant exhibition of a photographic device will get you sneers, or at least sidewards glances of disquiet. However, we happened out of our vehicle just as one of the owners was entering his hallowed beer cellar. He shouted to us, "if you want some good photos, follow me." We followed him into the basement of a house easily built before the Jackson administration had taken office. Click to continue »

Mar, 2013
I remember reading a book about nuclear power, which had been written in the 1950s. It confidently foretold that an era of cheap energy was about to commence – so cheap that electricity would not need to be metered. I, for one, am still awaiting this golden age. Of course, things did not work out like that and meters for gas and electricity are still with us. The technology of those meters is … Read More

Funds will provide 62 Summer Jobs to Disadvantaged Youth from South Los Angeles through the LA Urban League.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa of the City of Los Angeles made a visit to the Annual Joint Meeting of the City's Workforce Investment Board (WIB) and its Youth Council on July 20, 2011 at the City's Expo Center.
After a series of presentations detailed the nation's current economic crisis and its effects on the City of Los Angeles, the meeting turned its attention toward Wells Fargo Bank Community Development Chair Byron Reed and Mayor Villaraigosa for a surprising pronouncement of good news.
Wells Fargo Bank presented a generous donation of $125,000 to Mayor Villaraigosa and the Workforce Investment Board, which will then be allocated to the South Los Angeles OneSource Youth Center. The Center, operated by the Los Angeles Urban League, serves people between the ages of 14 and 24 in South Los Angeles. Young people who visit the South LA Center enroll in classes in employment and work readiness and computer training; some also receive career guidance and counseling.
Wells Fargo Bank's donation will place 62 youth from South Los Angeles in paid summer jobs in the City.
This is the second year Wells Fargo Bank has donated to the HIRE LA's Youth program. In 2010, the corporation gave $125,000 for summer youth internships and a youth hiring campaign targeted at major businesses. As an original corporate partner of HIRE LA's Youth Initiative, Wells Fargo has been operating a robust management-training internship program that has led to permanent employment opportunities for youth in the financial services sector.
"Wells Fargo is excited to partner with the Mayor to support the HIRE LA's internship program," said Byron Reed, head of Wells Fargo Bank's Community Development division in Greater Los Angeles. "Wells Fargo has sponsored HIRE LA since its inception and this summer hired 11 interns from the program to work in a variety of positions in Greater Los Angeles. We wholeheartedly encourage the business community in Los Angeles to support HIRE LA, and we challenge local companies to hire at least one intern this summer."
"I know how important that first job can be," Mayor Villaraigosa said. "This donation will make a direct impact on the lives of 62 young people."
After congratulating the HIRE LA's Youth Initiative and Mayor Villaraigosa, Reed presented a symbolic check to Workforce Investment Board.

I did watch them. There are only 4 episodes though. Just a typical love drama.
I like the scene where they play the piano. I don't care about the female lead lol. I think she just ok. The most important thing is Peter's voice is not dubbed
Peter looks cute in this costume...
Peter's GORGEOUS big hand!
My avatar is a tribute to the world's hottest stallions - Peter Ho, Kevin Cheng, Nic Tse.
new news about Peter, Zhang Jun Ning and... drama?
someone please tell me what's in the news. Thank you.
Oh, they will be starring together in a new TV series called 小襄的美丽人生 (Xiao Xiang's Beautiful Life?) which will start filming in the 2nd half of the year. But the female lead is Ariel Lin or Joe Chen. So Janine is probably 2nd female lead? - nothing's confirmed though. Peter's likely to be male lead.
Hmmm, so he's back to TV soon!
Last edited by xiaolong; 05-30-11 at 09:05 PM.
munianci, thanks for the picture
oh. i knew that!
ruby and peter look so cute together! haha.
did you like the story? i'm debating whether or not to watch it, since its only 4 episodes. but i really dont like the girl! hehe. but peter as a pianist = *swoon*
i think peter was promoting his tibet movie in those pictures. he looks ADORABLE
oh i didnt see this!
but yay yay yay yay yay!!
but i think the website says janine is going to be female lead - joe chen/ariel were rumored to be female lead before, but i think they've now confirmed janine to be the lead cause producers like the peter/janine pairing and want them to be paired up.
i dont mind, i think they look good together. i like janine
Yes, I liked her in Black & White and Wayward Kenting! I much prefer her in modern rather than period. It's also been some time since Peter filmed a Taiwanese series (was Summer's Bubble considered Taiwanese or Mainland series?).
Peter & Janine recently went on a World Vision expedition to Vietnam right? Let me see if I can dig out the pics.
lol xiaolong, you're picspamming like every thread on this forum !
but they look cute they probably got pretty close of the trip, which means (hopefully) they'll look good together on screen. lol
summer's bubble was a taiwanese series (i'm pretty sure), since it aired in taiwan first and most of the actors were all from taiwan i think. but yeah, janine looks better in modern drama i think. i remember when i first saw her in black and white, i thought she was LSS! lol
Is there a possibility that Peter will be nominated?
Yes, Summer's Bubble is a Taiwanese series. They had to collaborate with China to cover the production cost. That's why Huang Xiao Ming is casted as the main lead. Plus, the novel has large fanbase in China.
I like the story. I won't watch it if I don't like it. I was hoping there will be more episodes because I would like to see them travel around the world ( while dreaming I was the one who travel). Why do you dislike her? I think she is quite ok.
yup! the article talked about how HXM couldn't register or something to be nominated for this award, since he's from mainland and the awards prohibits mainlanders from nomination. but peter and da S can and will register, if i'm not mistaken.
i think peter totally deserves an award for summer's desire. his performace totally melted me
and idk why, i just didnt like her. lol. i cant even explain it
Believe he won a number of music awards for "Remember I loved" too. Don't you think he's such a fabulous all-rounder? He's been superbly successful as a model (especially in those hot swimsuit shots), as an actor (in BOTH the TV and movie world) and as a singer!
Isn't he adorable here, wishing his mom Happy Mother's Day? And look at his *muak* HANDS!
My avatar is a tribute to the world's hottest stallions - Peter Ho, Kevin Cheng, Nic Tse.
I looovve it that he doesn't lip sync. If you notice during his stage performance at the Chinese Global Awards, he goes slightly off-key, but in such a creative way that you know the song is his own and he knows the song inside out. A lot of singers, even the really famous ones from HK (*cough* Andy, Twins *cough*) lip sync.
Note: I remember Mainland banned lip syncing at concerts a few years ago, but not at TV variety shows. But Peter still sang 'live' all the way in a TV variety show - a true professional in every way
My avatar is a tribute to the world's hottest stallions - Peter Ho, Kevin Cheng, Nic Tse.
yea, his singing slightly off-key ( and did he messed up his lyrics too? or I heard it wrong) but it doesn't matter. I love his live performances.
I hate singer who lip sync.
anyway, news about his upcoming concerts

Summary (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
An ambitious novel set in the fictional Central American country of Tecan, A Flag for Sunrise attacks United States interference in the economy, politics, and culture of Latin American countries. Its title derives from Emily Dickinson's question, "Sunrise, hast thou a flag for me?"—an unspoken plea by Stone's characters as they pursue something beyond themselves, a new vision to salute tomorrow. The novel continually draws parallels with the horrors and fiascoes of Vietnam through the memories of the central observer, Frank Holliwell, onetime Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operative, now a wandering professor. It asks what blood price Americans pay daily, the distant, violent human cost of tabletop salt or sugar. The novel brought Stone the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, the John Dos Passos Prize for literature, the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters Award, and nominations for the Pulitzer Prize, the American Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the PEN/Faulkner Award.
By exploring the fates of Americans whose lives become entangled in Tecanecan politics, Stone sums up the diverse motives that draw Americans into conflicts which he believes are none of their business and which they only vaguely understand. Characters include the bored and frustrated Roman Catholic nun, the beautiful and näive Sister Justin Feeney; the burned-out drifter, anthropologist Frank Holliwell, a would-be romantic,...

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
Father Charles Egan has been in the fictional Central American country of Tecan, which resembles Nicaragua, for ten years. Though the Canadian priest has been ordered to close his mission, he intends to stay. His only companion is Sister Justin Feeney, a young American nurse more idealistic than he is. Lieutenant Campos of the Guardia Nacional is suspicious of Justin's political sympathies. After six years in Tecan, the nurse wants to see political and social change. When the Guardia kills a young American woman, Campos forces Father Egan to dispose of the body.
Frank Holliwell, an anthropology professor, drives to New York City to catch a flight to Central America. In Brooklyn, he has lunch with Marty Nolan, a CIA agent and friend with whom he worked during the Vietnam War. Nolan has heard from their mutual friend Oscar Ocampo, an anthropologist in Compostela, that Holliwell is scheduled to deliver a lecture there. Nolan wants any information Holliwell can provide about Tecan, which borders on Compostela.
Sister Mary Joseph, who works in Tecan's mountains, visits Father Egan and Justin, whom she sees as too good to be true, to try to talk some sense into them. Father Godoy, a Tecanecan priest, says both he and Justin have failed because the country itself is a failure. Godoy is friendly with rebels who are based in the mountains.
Pablo Tabor feels he is wasting his life in the U.S. Coast Guard. He shoots his hunting dogs,...

YaganHouse has hearty breakfasts, comfortable beds, cheerfully helpful staff members, and rental services for the camping necessities you might have forgotten while packing for las Torres del Paine. The hostel has a beautiful interior, kitchen, and common space as well. We had an amazing stay both before and after four days in las Torres del Paine!

Went in low-season, so it was mostly empty. But Maura, the employee at the time, went above and beyond the required to help us make the most of our time there. The owner, Paulina, was also very nice. Great feel to the hostel. Felt very comfortable and at home in the space.

I like it, suspect it'll look better in person than in picture but so far I'm not willing to say that I love it.
I don't think its comparable to the accompanying photo, a specious comparison and no matter how you look at it I absolutely love it's looks compared to the Juke, the Cube or the Mirano, Nissan's got some real risk takers in it's styling department to be sure, risk at any expense seems to be the motto.
Jeep returning to a more offroad worthy line of vehicles which both Liberty and Compass lacked is certainly interesting, in defense of the liberty I liked the first ones and the diesel but the last design, the boxy one, I hated it, test drove 2 and they just made me want to get a Grand Cherokee.
the last liberty and the compass were remnants of Mercedes Benz abuse, nothing hurt my impression of Mercedes like the mistakes they made at Chrysler, reviving the Cherokee name is likely a decent idea for Chrysler/FIAT to distance themselves from that whole era and bring back an old favorite.

Floor-to-ceiling navy paint stripes, framed with white molding, wake up bland walls. Outline each stripe with painter's tape (the stripe here is 2 feet wide). Cover edges with molding. Flank a fireplace, TV or any other focal point for a shot of color that's not a major commitment.

text: Season Ten of Knots Landing begins with Val (Joan Van Ark) surviving the lethal drug overdose administered by Jill (Teri Austin). Worried that her current amour Gary (Ted Shackelford) was planning to re-wed his former wife Val, Jill had schemed to bump off her rival in a manner that would look like suicide--and in fact everyone believes that Val has tried to kill herself, leaving Jill temporarily in the clear. At the same time, the lives of business partners Gary, Abby (Donna Mills) and Karen (Joan Van Ark), imperiled by their dealings with master criminal Manny Vasquez (John Aprea), are saved when Manny is killed by his conscience-ridden nephew Harold (Paul Carafontes). Meanwhile, Karen's son Michael (Pat Petersen) and his current flame Paige (Nicollette Sheridan)--the illegitimate daughter of Karen's estranged husband Mack (Kevin Dobson)--are rescued from the clutches of Mexican drug dealers by the mysterious Johnny Rourke (Peter Reckell). In other developments, conniving Abby manages to swindle her partners out of the Lotus Point Resort via the dummy "Murakame" corporation, then begins drilling for oil on the property. Paige takes up with crooked politico Greg Sumner (William Devane), who later dumps her in order to propose to Abby, mainly to revive his political career; at this juncture, Robert Desiderio joins the cast as Greg's new PR manager Ted Melcher, who will be implicated in one of the several mysterious deaths occurring this season. Johnny and Michael are innocently swept up in a computer-theft scheme, a story arc that serves to introduce the character of Danny Waleska (Sam Behrens). Mack returns to Karen after a brief fling with female forest ranger Paula Vertosick (Melinda Culea). And Abby's daughter Olivia is married to her mom's cast-off sweetheart Harold. The series' tenth season is marked by two spectacular exits. Threatened with the exposure of her many sinister schemes, and facing the loss of Gary Ewing, Jill goes completely off the deep end and commits suicide--after first going through the effort of binding and gagging herself so that Gary will be accused of her murder. And when the authorities finally catch up with Abby's various and sundry underhanded business machinations, she manages to escape by the skin of her teeth by wangling an appointment with the US Trade Adminstration--which requires her to immediately relocate to Japan! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
