Nick Carter, otherwise known as the underground rapper Murs, stopped at the Best Buy in Spanish Springs Friday to sign a few CDs and shake the hands of about 25 waiting fans.
"I think I represent normal humans," the artist said with a characteristic pleasant smile and laid back demeanor. "A lot of rappers today portray an image that you don't relate to."
The Los Angeles native passed through Sparks on his way to a concert at 210 North where he would take the Reno stage for the second time. This trip he was performing with Z Trip, Pigeon John and Who Cares.
The Best Buy appearance was also not a first for the rapper, who met fans at the store last summer as well.
"He is one of the top underground rappers for me," 16-year-old Reed High School student Raphael Rodriguez said as he waited in line. "He's not hard core though. he is more laid back."
And while the rapper's beats fall in step with the underground genre and he doesn't shy away from profanity or rough subject material, in the eyes of his critics and fans Murs is something more than average.
A critic for The Independent had this to say of Murs and his musical style:
"Murs manages to say more about the corrosive cancer of hip-hop's gun culture than all the thousands of column inches lavished on 50 Cent's bullet wounds," the critic wrote.
Carter gave rise to the Murs image about 15 years ago, rising from the Los Angeles streets.
"I was never supposed to do this," Murs said, describing a childhood of broken homes and poor living circumstances. "I had to build myself up."
Murs sent his first single into the ears of the public in 1993, taken from a collaboration with 3 Melancholy Gypsies. The group climbed to the top of the underground scene in 1996 as they began to collaborate with the Living Legends collective.
Legends' legacy was based on the idea of staying independent from any major record label. They sold about 300,000 releases to a Bay Area audience, all from the trunks of their cars and sidewalk stands.
The original group of eight eventually grew and formed their own label. But Murs went a different route.
Seventeen albums and 10 years later, Murs signed with Warner Brothers and released "Murs for President."
Although the release aimed to comment on the recent election of Barack Obama to the United States presidency, the tracks are as wide-ranging in their subject matter as the topics the new president must address in his first years.
Murs said that he still hadn't populated his set list for the Friday night show as he prepared to leave the Best Buy at 5:30 p.m. The doors at 210 North opened at 9 p.m.
"I don't want this show to be the same as last year," Murs said. "I want to just take time to put it together. I just want to accompany their night."

St. Joseph's Healthcare System's four-story state-of-the-art Critical Care Building (CCB) located on the campus of St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in Paterson, NJ is now open. The CCB officially opened to the public in mid-October 2011 with the Critical Care Units being the first to move into the new building followed by operational transitioning of patients into the remaining units shortly after.
The opening of the CCB, the cornerstone of the Healthcare System's $250 million master facilities project, brings added value to northern New Jersey and the surrounding region.
"The largest master facilities construction initiative in St. Joseph's history is having a significant impact on the Region. The construction has enabled the Healthcare System to meet the growing demand for inpatient and outpatient care at both hospital campuses; expanded the advanced clinical services we offer to the residents of northern New Jersey and beyond; and enhanced the cityscape environment surrounding St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in South Paterson. The CCB project, along with construction projects at St. Joseph's Wayne Hospital and construction of the Medical Center lobby (completed in September 2010) have also created construction jobs and numerous current and future health care jobs," states William A. McDonald, President and Chief Executive Officer of St. Joseph's Healthcare System.
Some of the major features of the Critical Care Building include:
- 88 treatment areas in separate Pediatric, Geriatric and Adult emergency departments, including trauma, fast-track, triage rooms and treatment bays
- 12 advanced systems-integrated operating theaters, pre-operative and post-operative areas, and a dedicated surgical waiting area

- Everes redirects here. For the butterfly genus, see Everes (genus).
In Greek mythology, Tiresias (/taɪˈrisiəs/; Greek: Τειρεσίας; also transliterated as Teiresias) was a blind prophet of Thebes, famous for clairvoyance and for being transformed into a woman for seven years. He was the son of the shepherd Everes and the nymph Chariclo.[1] Tiresias participated fully in seven generations at Thebes, beginning as advisor to Cadmus himself.
Tiresias was a prophet of Apollo.
Eighteen allusions to mythic Tiresias, noted by Luc Brisson,[2] fall into three groups: one, in two episodes, recounts Tiresias' sex-change and his encounter with Zeus and Hera; a second group recounts his blinding by Athena; a third, all but lost, seems to have recounted the misadventures of Tiresias.
How Tiresias obtained his information varied: sometimes, like the oracles, he would receive visions; other times he would listen for the songs of birds, or ask for a description of visions and pictures appearing within the smoke of burnt offerings, and so interpret them.
On Mount Cyllene in the Peloponnese,[3] as Tiresias came upon a pair of copulating snakes, he hit the pair a smart blow with his stick. Hera was not pleased, and she punished Tiresias by transforming him into a woman. As a woman, Tiresias became a priestess of Hera, married and had children, including Manto, who also possessed the gift of prophecy. According to some versions of the tale, Lady Tiresias was a prostitute of great renown. After seven years as a woman, Tiresias again found mating snakes; depending on the myth, either she made sure to leave the snakes alone this time, or, according to Hyginus, trampled on them.[4] As a result, Tiresias was released from his sentence and permitted to regain his masculinity. This ancient story is recorded in lost lines of Hesiod.[5]
In Hellenistic and Roman times Tiresias' sex-change was embroidered upon and expanded into seven episodes, with appropriate amours in each, probably written by the Alexandrian Ptolemaeus Chennus,[citation needed] but attributed by Eustathius to Sostratus of Phanagoria's lost elegiac Tiresias.[6] Tiresias is presented as a complexly liminal figure, with a foot in each of many oppositions, mediating between the gods and mankind, male and female, blind and seeing, present and future, and this world and the Underworld.[7]
According to the mythographic compendium Bibliotheke,[8] different stories were told of the cause of his blindness, the most direct being that he was simply blinded by the gods for revealing their secrets. An alternate story told by the poet Pherecydes was followed in Callimachus' poem "The Bathing of Pallas"; in it, Tiresias was blinded by Athena after he stumbled onto her bathing naked.[9] His mother, Chariclo, a nymph of Athena, begged Athena to undo her curse, but the goddess could not; instead, she cleaned his ears,[8] giving him the ability to understand birdsong, thus the gift of augury. In a separate episode,[10] Tiresias was drawn into an argument between Hera and her husband Zeus, on the theme of who has more pleasure in sex: the man, as Hera claimed; or, as Zeus claimed, the woman, as Tiresias had experienced both. Tiresias replied "Of ten parts a man enjoys one only."[11] Hera instantly struck him blind for his impiety. Zeus could do nothing to stop her or reverse her curse, but in recompence he did give Tiresias the gift of foresight[12] and a lifespan of seven lives.
He is said to have understood the language of birds and could divine the future from indications in fire, or smoke. However it was the communications of the dead he relied the most on, menacing them when they were late to attend him.[13]
Tiresias makes a dramatic appearance in the Odyssey, book XI, in which Odysseus calls up the spirits of the dead (the nekyia). "So sentient is Tiresias, even in death," observes Marina Warner "that he comes up to Odysseus and recognizes him and calls him by name before he has drunk the black blood of the sacrifice; even Odysseus' own mother cannot accomplish this, but must drink deep before her ghost can see her son for himself."[14]
As a seer, "Tiresias" was "a common title for soothsayers throughout Greek legendary history" (Graves 1960, 105.5). In Greek literature, Tiresias's pronouncements are always given in short maxims which are often cryptic (gnomic), but never wrong. Often when his name is attached to a mythic prophecy, it is introduced simply to supply a personality to the generic example of a seer, not by any inherent connection of Tiresias with the myth: thus it is Tiresias who tells Amphytrion of Zeus and Alcmena and warns the mother of Narcissus that the boy will thrive as long as he never knows himself. This is his emblematic role in tragedy (see below). Like most oracles, he is generally extremely reluctant to offer the whole of what he sees in his visions.
Tiresias and Thebes[edit]
Tiresias appears as the name of a recurring character in several stories and Greek tragedies concerning the legendary history of Thebes. In The Bacchae, by Euripides, Tiresias appears with Cadmus, the founder and first king of Thebes, to warn the current king Pentheus against denouncing Dionysus as a god. Along with Cadmus, he dresses as a worshiper of Dionysus to go up the mountain to honor the new god with the Theban women in their Bacchic revels.
In Sophocles' Oedipus the King, Oedipus, the king of Thebes, calls upon Tiresias to aid in the investigation of the killing of the previous king Laius. At first, Tiresias refuses to give a direct answer and instead hints that the killer is someone Oedipus really does not wish to find. However, after being provoked to anger by Oedipus' accusation first that he has no foresight and then that Tiresias had had a hand in the murder, he reveals that in fact it was Oedipus himself who had (unwittingly) committed the crime. Outraged, Oedipus throws him out of the palace, but then afterwards realizes the truth.
Oedipus has handed over the rule of Thebes to his sons Eteocles and Polynices[15] but Eteocles refused to share the throne with his brother. Aeschylus' Seven Against Thebes recounts the story of the war which followed. In it, Eteocles and Polynices kill each other, and Megareus kills himself because of Tiresias' prophecy that a voluntary death from a Theban would save the city.
Tiresias also appears in Sophocles' Antigone. Creon, now king of Thebes, refuses to allow Polynices to be buried. His niece, Antigone, defies the order and is caught; Creon decrees that she is to be buried alive. The gods express their disapproval of Creon's decision through Tiresias, who tells Creon 'the city is sick through your fault.' However, Antigone has already hanged herself rather than be buried alive. When Creon arrives at the tomb where she is to be interred, his son, Haemon who was betrothed to Antigone, attacks Creon and then kills himself. When Creon's wife, Eurydice, is informed of her son and Antigone's deaths, she too takes her own life.
Tiresias and his prophecy are also involved in the story of the Epigoni.
Tiresias died after drinking water from the tainted spring Tilphussa, where he was struck by an arrow of Apollo. His shade descended to the Asphodel Meadows, the first level of Hades. After his death he was visited in the underworld by Odysseus, to whom he gave valuable advice concerning the rest of his odyssey, specifically concerning the cattle of Helios, advice which Odysseus' men did not follow, to their peril.
At Knossos, in a Late Minoan IIIA context (fourteenth century BC), seven Linear B texts mention an entity, unattested elsewhere as yet, called qe-ra-si-ja and, once, qe-ra-si-jo. If this title had survived the fall of LMIII Crete, then it could have evolved into *Terasias in Doric Greek and, possibly, *Te[i]resias in Ionic.[16]
The caduceus[edit]
Connections with the paired serpents on the caduceus are often made (Brisson 1976:55-57).
In popular culture[edit]
- Tiresias' impressive apparition in Odyssey xi kept his image a lively one, and the figure of Tiresias has been much-invoked by fiction writers and poets. Since Tiresias is both the greatest seer of the Classical mythos, a figure cursed by the gods, and both man and woman, he has been very useful to authors. At the climax of Lucian's Necyomantia, Tiresias in Hades is asked "what is the best way of life?" and his disconcertingly modern response, couched in high-flown diction, is "the life of the ordinary guy: forget philosophers and their metaphysics."[17] This advice is pragmatic and moderate and represents the moral message of the short story. He also appears in Horace's Satire 2.5, in which he advises Odysseus to take up legacy hunting.
- In Divine Comedy (Inferno, Canto XX), Dante sees Tiresias in the fourth pit of the eighth circle of Hell (the circle is for perpetrators of fraud and the fourth pit being the location for astrologers, sorcerers, soothsayers, diviners, and false prophets who claim to see the future when they couldn't) He was condemned to walk for eternity with his head twisted toward his back; while in life he strove to look forward to the future, in Hell he must only look backward. Tiresias' daughter Manto is also assigned her punishment here.
- More recently, "Tiresias" was the title of a poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
- T. S. Eliot used Tiresias as an integral voice in his modernist poem, "The Waste Land".
- The French composer Francis Poulenc also wrote an opera called Les Mamelles de Tirésias ("The Breasts of Tiresias") based on Guillaume Apollinaire's surrealist text of 1917.[18]
- Frank Herbert also uses the mythic characteristics of Tiresias in his second Dune novel, Dune Messiah, where the protagonist Paul Atreides loses his sight but has prophetic powers to counter this stemming from insights into both the male and female part of the psyche.
- Amy Seham, drama professor at Gustavus Adolphus College, wrote a musical entitled "Tiresias" in 1999, with music by Chanda Walker and Kira Theimer.
- Tiresias as a motif of doubleness (male/female) also occurs in the writing of Rohinton Mistry. There it serves as a comparison to the protagonist of the short story "Lend me your Light", who is torn between his childhood home in Bombay and his new existence in Toronto, seen in Mistry's use of this quote from T. S. Eliot's "The Waste Land,": "I, Tiresias,/ Blind and throbbing between two lives..." (Tales from Firozsha Baag: 180).
- In Lawrence Durrell's novel Balthazar, the second part of his Alexandria Quartet, Melissa, Scobie and Balthazar are each seen as having moments of prophetic sight. Scobie also cross-dresses, thus implying the androgyny of Tiresias. The novel also features the sing-song rhyme:
- Old Tiresias
- No-one half so breezy as,
- Half so free and easy as
- Old Tiresias
- Tiresias also shows up in Jeffrey Eugenides' Middlesex. Cal, the protagonist, compares himself to the seer, and has even played him in a production of Antigone.
- The blind beggar of Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary echoes Tiresias. Emma looking in her mirror, contemplating her death and hearing the song of the blind beggar, reflects her vacillatiing struggle between the masculine and feminine identity.
- Dennis DeYoung uses Tiresias in the song "Castle Walls" on the 1977 Styx album The Grand Illusion.
- Carol Ann Duffy wrote a poem entitled 'from Mrs Tiresias' in her collection The World's Wife. This poem is told from the point of view of Tiresias' marriage partner, and interprets the myth in a modern context.
- During the opening scenes of O Brother Where Art Thou, a derivative of Odyssey, Tiresias is introduced as an old black man on a railroad handcar. Although, when asked his name, he states "I have no name."
- Tiresias was featured in the Hercules episode "Hercules and the Griffin" voiced by Jack Carter. He was seen as a resident of a Greek Retirement Home.
- A 1999 episode of the Comedy Central series Strangers with Candy titled "Behind Blank Eyes", blind high school student Alan's surname is "Tiresias".
- In 2001 Le Tendre and Rossi published a two-volume comic book Tiresias, focusing on his gender-change.
- In Su Walton's 1969 Here Before Kilroy, Tiresias is the name of a homeless man who crops up throughout the story to make observations about the actions of the characters.
- In 1995, Jack Warden played the character in the Woody Allen film Mighty Aphrodite as a crusty blind beggar.
- The 2003 film Tiresia is inspired by this myth.
- The lyrics (reportedly by Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford) of the Genesis song "The Cinema Show", from their 1973 album Selling England by the Pound, refer to "father Tiresias" and his experience of living as both a man and a woman.
- Take a little trip back with father Tiresias,
- Listen to the old one speak of all he has lived through.
- "I have crossed between the poles, for me there's no mystery.
- Once a man, like the sea, I raged.
- Once a woman, like the earth, I gave.
- But there is in fact more earth than sea."
- In 2007, Salley Vickers imagined a series of conversations between Tiresias and Sigmund Freud as part of the Canongate "Myths" series of novels. The myth in question was that of Oedipus. Book title : Where three roads meet.
- The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Black Dossier by Alan Moore includes an autobiography of Virginia Woolf's Orlando. This reveals that Tiresias had two daughters. While Manto inherited their father's prophetic abilities, the other daughter, Orlando (or Bio, as she was then named), found she changed gender as she grew, again inherited from her father. Tiresias is mentioned as having been ashamed at Orlando's gender-changing ability, sold him to pirate slavers and died escorting Manto to become the Oracle at Delphi.
- The Radio Tales drama "Homer's Odyssey: Voyage to the Underworld" is a dramatic retelling of the portion of Homer's epic poem that features the voyage to Hades to consult with the prophet Teiresias. The drama first aired via XM Satellite Radio on April 19, 2003.
- Jack Peñate, in his 2009 single " Be the One" sings "I walked away because of you, just like Tiresias I knew, that me and you were fated too"
- In the BBC television series Spooks, the character Connie Jones is revealed as an agent of the Russians, turned by them during Operation Renaissance. She protests that she wanted only to maintain the balance between the world powers, USSR/Russia and US/England. A cryptic warning reveals that Tiresias is coming; just before exploding a nuclear device, Connie reveals, she "was already here."
- The poet and Civil Servant Roger Green used the pen name Tiresias when he published, in 1984, his Premeditated Notebook 'Notes from Overground', concerning his commuting by train for many years between Oxford and London.
- Tiresias has a similar name to Terezi from Homestuck by Andrew Hussie. They are also blind and somewhat knowledgeable (hence Terezi being a Sear of Mind).
- Genesis' song "The Cinema Show" (Selling England By The Pound, Charisma/Atlantic, 1973), refers to Tiresias, "Take a little trip back/With Father Tiresias/Listen to the old man speak/Of all he has been through/I have crossed between the poles/And for me there's no mystery/Once a man like the sea I raged/Once a woman like the earth I gave/But there is in fact more earth than sea."

- Antigone, Sophocles
- The Bacchae, Euripides
- Iphigenia at Aulis, Euripides
- Phoenician Women, Euripides
- The Odyssey, Homer
- Oedipus, Seneca the Younger

Nice try on the lea secret marriage! So glad your gone! Leas son is not socially awkward . Listen to the conversations between you daughter's and father, Yuk!
So glad you're not back this season. You've been the absolute worst housewife yet.
I guess you couldn't stand the heat so you got out of the kitchen.......glad you're off this season, stay off please. I find you to be a total idiot who has yet to prove a point. I wouldn't have you represent me if you were free.
I'm so glad we get to see little of you this season. You thought trashing Lea would help you but "epic fail". Anyway, I think you're a jealous person which is why you made your little dig at Lisa. Hopefully you'll be somewhere doing Robert's laundry instead of filming because you are boring and a hater. "Lea Wins"!!!!! ;)
Lea deserved what you gave her at the reunion.......She's a big girl she can take it.......She sure can dish it and I find her to be manipulative and sarcastic. Two unendearing qualities. Pass the geritol
You are my fav housewife, you had the guts to stand up to Lea! lea has to be the most cruel of all housewives with the most annoying voice, good for you. Cant wait to see you in the new season, i hope my daughter does as well as your two daughters.
You were horrible to her and a shame to yourself and your family the way you talked to her. This dumb ass two paragraph blog doesn't explain your behavior. It glosses over the facts. You need a fact checker and to be schooled about ageism and respect.
Hi Ana!
Loved getting to know you this season as well as your family -- you and Robert seem to have a very complicated reality and I hope that, over time, it gets easier for you. Speaking of, LOVE the picture of you at the end of this blog -- girl, you look FANTASTIC! That being said, I REALLY wish someone in the Bravo Editing Room would have pieced what took place at the reunion a little better; I was SOOOOOO puzzled at your digs and comments towards Lea. She looked BEYOND confused/stunned. Granted, if she had plans to come after you, what better tactic for a lawyer to have than a file of information (which I love, by the way...bringing actual PROOF to one of these things! What a concept!). You're clearly strong, independent, self-sufficient and FIERCELY loyal to your friends; people can say/think whatever/however they want, but at the end of the day, Ana, you don't hold back, speak from the heart and tell it like it is. It's admirable, especially in the public forum you're in. Keep it up!
Am I the only one still waiting for Ana to back up a single claim? The proof is in the pudding. This chef must not know how cook anything but lies.
Your blog didn't make sense to me, your reasons for attacking Lea don't make sense..
and you dare insult your viewers' intelligence and you claim that lea hates cubans??
if anything maybe you attacked lea cuz she's white, can you see how that statement sounded absurd?? You owe Lea an apology...
i used to like you but after the reunion show and this blog, i completely dislike you and very annoyed by you...
I don't get you. You seem like such a wonderful person, great Mom, professional, good to your friends, all around winner!! On the reunion you were jealous, bitter, unprofessional,and just plain ugly human being. I do believe that you do not like anglo americans. I was born and reaised on Miami Beach and I know how that goes in all of Miami.You were coming from a very deeply rooted feeling of resentment for Lea and women like her. Face it, accept it and get on with it. Let go of all that poison, you'll feel so much better!!!
As the myriad of people below me commented, I would like to say that I totally liked you and thought you were respectable until the reunion. Wow. You claim that Lea attacked you during the reunion which spurred your atrocious performance. Well, all Lea did was say your husband was seeing other people, which YOU know, which HE knows, and which the WORLD knows. How does that warrant the diatribe you spewed?
Please don't corrupt Marysol with your bitterness and apathy. She deserves a better friend than you.
I also find you seriously insecure and crying out for fame and attention!
I can't understand why in the world your ex-husband would ever want to divorce YOU!! You are so pleasant and someone who looks for the positive in everyone. Just ask your ex-husband, I'm sure he is positive that divorcing you is the best decision he ever made! I have been trying to teach my daughters that there is nothing uglier than a beautiful girl with a hateful personality. After watching you at the reunion, with that hateful look on your face and spewing out the insults about Geritol, breaking a hip, etc. they understand totally. Since you are single now, you should rethink Rodolfo....you two are made for each other.
You made a complete fool of yourself during the reunion. It was so exhausting watching you.
Disgusting...I have no words for this level of insult to your viewers' intelligence. I thought I clicked on 'Cast Blogs' and not on ' College Mock Trial: Witness #2' since Adriana is the first
Some of these blogs really strain credibility. I find it especially hard to believe that anyone, other than a paid minion, could feel bad for Lea who is, by far, the most calculating and cruel member of the cast. If ever someone deserved to be taken down it is she. All the mean comments she made followed by "JUST KIDDING! were deliberate and hurtful. She has zero class, just a shrill brassy voice and some very low rent friends that she also used to do her dirty work. What really amused me was that once Ana got her rattled, Lea acted like she was on the Jerry Springer show jumping up, pointing her finger and yelling threats. Her analogy about throwing a skunk in the jury box and then asking the jury to disregard the odor is pretty ironic since it was she who continually tossed stink bombs before screeching, 'IT'S A JOKE!"
....geez, just knowing you have that cruel side in you, and it WAS cruel, I will never be a fan..always liked you Ana, I did, and I felt sorry for you. I used to think "wow, she says her husband is "masking" his feelings of hurt about the break up with brevity because he really is torn up" and I'd feel bad for you because it's obvious he's not torn up about the divorce. For someone who's such a strong femisist, that was pitiful. But I would have NEVER written this in until you pulled that mean spirited reunion number. That was really bad. never thought I'd be a Lea fan but I sure am now.
I had a lot of respect for you till I really saw the mean side of you...WOW is it ugly.
It made you look small and foolish.
I have always thought you were boring now I think you'
are disgusting ! Your attack on lea showed your true colors
and I hope she repays you in kind ! I also hope not to see
you next season.
I was shocked every time Ana opened her mouth to attack Lea. She corrected people about bullying and then I don't care what you say but it sure sounded like she insinuatedLea's son was socially awkward (how do you get socially awkward from Lea saying your daughter's had potty mouths?), its people like you that make comments like that that encourage others to bully. That being said when does Andy put on his big boy pants and tell people to stop talking like that, I understand the show is supposed to be sensational but she kept going over the line. I don't think Lea is that much older than Ana so maybe Ana should start taking Geritol or pulling out a walker. She just seems like an angry, unhappy woman, if she did work for me in the past, she would not be welcome back.
Ana, what happened to you? I liked you from the beginning. During the entire season you stayed below the radar pretty much. You were a loyal friend to Marysol,. you stood up for yourself at the Thomas Kramer dinner, all great. However, your attack on Lea was not only shocking but ridiculous.
Children are off limits, don't you know? You attacked RJ, Lea's age, that's hitting below the belt. You are over 40. Don't you think you are going to be getting older too?
I was sickened by your behavior and although I am not a great fan of Lea, I agree that you were just trying to make yourself relevant. There is nothing Lea could have said to you personally that warranted your actions.
Ana, are you going through menopause? Your awfully moody?!
If you and yours are so proud of being cuban then go why are you living in the USA? Go back there!!
Looks like Ageist Ana got iced out of the lost footage show. As boring as she was on the show, what didn't make it on must have been a REAL snooze-fest.
You were hilarious during the season and hilarious during the reunion. I love how you broke Lea off a piece - good job!
Ana... Throughout the season I admired you for seeming to be above the bullshit that the other ladies constantly indulged in. I found you to be the most intelligent and sound-minded woman on the show. However at the reunion I lost all respect for you. Your vicious attacks on Lea's age were hateful and disgusting... and frankly, you should be ashamed of yourself. Remember that one day you will be Lea's age (not that she's even that old) and at that point I hope you look back and realize how hurtful your comments were. The elderly (and I'm not saying Lea is elderly) should be the most respected group in our society, and your comments represent how poorly treated they are. Shame on you Ana... I truly thought you were better than that.
Love you Ana! Thanks for keeping it real! Lea is a total snob...she can dish out the comments but can't take them! I admired the way u stuck up for yourself at the Kramer's party... what a pig he is & the fact that Lea is friends with that creep speaks volumes about her character. Hope to see u again next season or better yet get you own show...u are too smart & normal to be hanging with all of those crazies.
you're so great I can't wait to see you next season - Lea has it coming!
Are you dating the Former US Attorney? I worked as an AUSA under him in 2003-04. He is a great guy and cute too! Now the two of you have 5 girls! The Cuban Brady Bunch! Love it. Congrats!
Wait, you thinkmLea doesn't like Cubans? That is silly. you should not have called her son socially awkward. Your girls don't seem to be perfect to say the least. And you should have taken a hint and stopped speaking for Marysol. She obviously did not want you to. I think you are sweet but i dont know.
ana, It saddens me that you wanted a divorce because there wasn't passion anymore, you gave up on a wonderful marriage, for passion? Marriage is a sacrement, and I feel sorry for you, because the love will grow and grow and you are going to miss what was coming.
Ana, I think you're awesome. But...you don't understand what self-made is. Selling cold cream out of a truck in Texas is what Lea started out doing, what you did was----your parents PAID for college AND law school, that's what you said at the reunion---that makes LEA selfmade, and you were just lucky to have parents sending you to college--that does not make you self made
@sek1987 Lea's insults throughout the season were bad. I don't really read of too many people defending that. And she does hang with some questionable people. However, that does not give Ana the excuse to stoop to her level badger someone the way she did. If she wanted to give Lea a taste of her own medicine she should have said one or two insults followed by a "just kidding." But to do what she did and to take it to the level that she took it was abusive and inexcusable. If you live your life trying to be vindictive doesn't that make you just as shameful as the people you are trying to seek revenge from? Who is she to try and "take someone down"?
You have to realize that when these women sign up for the show that their every action is going to be scrutinized and analyzed. Being called out when they do something wrong is just the nature of the beast. So I am not really sure why you find it hard to believe that people that aren't being paid wouldn't find Ana's excessive tirade was going way overboard? or why she doesn't deserve the backlash?
You are ridiculous Gigi. Every American Citizen's family are from somewhere. We are a country of immigrants. We celebrate ST. Patty's Day, Oktoberfest, etc.... There is NOTHING WRONG with being proud of one's origin.
What you are is an ignorant bigot.
@booblugbob - The whole Lost Footage was a snooze fest anyway, except for Elsa's segments which were already available here on the site. 2/3 of it being about Adriana rehearsing lines and talking about the birds and the bees. Ugh!
Ok, I said I wouldn't do this again, but I have to: ANA DID NOT SAY THAT LEA'S SON IS SOCIALLY AWKWARD!!!!! THAT'S WHAT LEA SAID ABOUT ANA'S DAUGHTERS!!!!
well there's an "americn saying" you can take a horse to water but you can't mak him drink ? right ? well they may have paid or HELPED pay for college as most Cuban parents do especially for a child that you see has potential, intellngence and driven to succeed in life and Ana applied herself and became an attorney didn't just marry one !
Lea's comments were more than insults on many occasions. She did her best to ruin Marisol's business by her incessant negative remarks and by trying to ignite a battle between Marisol and Elaine. People in the public relations business know better than to get into ugly public shouting matches and Lea bullied her all season because she knew Marisol wouldn't respond in kind. Then there were all the judgemental comments about Marisol's marriage, being in denial, and being a victim (all of these to her supposed friend). Lea also brought the creepy Joe Francis to the lingerie party and to her gala and I believe Ana when she says Francis admitted they planned the attack on Joanna and her sister. With the way Lea was jumping up and yelling at Ana at the reunion it did look like she might trip and it certainly wasn't ladylike. She deserved every word she got from Ana, all of which were hilarious in my opinion.
okay, I know I'll take a LOT of heat for this and its unpolitically correct, but I'm not an Elas fan. Her attack on Joanna really surprised me. It was very personal, the name calling she did on Joanna, calling her a disrespectful oung woman, and more...AND what Elas said Joanna called her (prostitute) was not accurate. Do we have to like Elsa because she's the oldest and had bad surgery? seems it....
@elicat @LizyLiz your confused sweetie. Ana clearly insinuated that Lea's son was socially awkward
@elicat @LizyLiz. I keep hearing about this blog....please provide the site where these comments were made from Leah? As of yet, I have not come across it!
@Maya2 @maria89 and lea sold coldcream out of her pinto and owned several skincare lines BEFORE she got married to roy didn't she? u should do your research before u say stuff. Ana married an attorney also. so are u saying it makes a difference because she is also an attorney? lea owned a small business when she married roy. so are u saying she is less of a person because she was not a lawyer? not every one wants to be a lawyer. u can b successful doing other things. lea had drive. just because she did not do what ana or make the money ana did does not make her less of a person period.
@sek1987 You make valid points about Lea and I am in no way condoning or defending her behavior throughout the season. I know that because I have been so outspoken on Ana people automatically assume I am a fan of Lea, which I am not. But, a lot of the points you have mentioned are other people's issues and I don't understand why Ana took it as her responsibility to fight Marysol's battles. I also do not think that anything Ana said to Lea was humorous, nor did it do anything to explain to Lea how she has been offensive. All she did was belittle her to the point of badgering the woman. Yes, Lea has said some below the belt comments and I was happy that she was called out on it. But to the extent and frequency that she was "attacked" I think was completely distasteful, sleezy and inappropriate. If Ana wanted to be the knight in shining armor for the unfair persecution of others, she should have also gone after Alexia for the way she hounded Karent unfairly.
Also, something makes me doubt Francis admitted they planned an attack, even though that is what Ana said on the show. Thus far, it is all been hearsay. And as they say, "the proof is in the pudding." So far Ana has not produced a shred of evidence to support anything she has alleged. I guess I will believe it when I see it or hear it directly from the horse's mouth, or until Ana can back her allegations up.
@louise123- Of course you're entitled to your opinion, and to like or dislike whoever you want. I happen to think Joanna WAS disrespectful to Elsa for no reason and "fresh". I disagree that Elsa "attacked" Joanna- and what names did Elsa call her? She was asked what she thought about what Joanna called her (devil IS worse than prostitute) and she answered honestly, imo. In fact, when asked to choose sides between Adriana and Joanna, Elsa said it wouldn't be fair for her to do so because she knew and liked Adrianna and didn't really know Joanna- which I think was a wise and fair comment.
@pelargonium @elicat @LizyLiz UMMMMM ya she did. By going down a list of how much her accomplishments are better than the accomplishments she credits Lea for, she is basically creating a zero-sum list. She certainly was stipulating that since it is apparent that her daughters are not socially awkward, the whole socially awkward statement inadvertently falls on Lea's child. If not, why mention that her daughters are not socially awkward ? Was Lea ever accusing Ana's daughters of being socially awkward? No.
@9japride No, I believe you are the one confused sweetie. Ana has never been around Lea's son long enough to form any opinion. But since this is all coming from Lea's camp, I would have to believe it is Lea's fans who are thinking her son is socially awkward. In fact, I have read that some actually thought he was but that it was normal at his age!
@gideon808 I don't remember where or when I heard this but I know Lea has said numerous things regarding Ana's daughters off-camera also. I believe in interviews she has done. You can probably GOOGLE it.
@MissMiamiHeat - Thanks! :) What I meant with that is most of us hate and complain about jury duty. Don't you think she was lucky that day?
@reality4real I'm sorry if I misinterpreted what you said. I thought the "how ironic is it that getting picked for jury duty turned out to be Lea's lucky day? Ha!" were your thoughts and not Ana's and that you were making a dig that Lea was "lucky" that she met Roy, because she'd be less of a person without him. My mistake. I apologize if that was not what you meant. =)
@MissMiamiHeat - Read again. I was not implying it. I'm saying I think that was what Ana was saying. I don't think it makes her "less of a person", but it sure doesn't make her better or more important than anyone else either.
@reality4real I still don't see how what you are implying makes her less of a person. I guess she is lucky. Her husband hasn't divorced her to date younger women.
@MissMiamiHeat @RealiTcheck - I think what Ana was saying is that what Lea had before Roy was thanks to her ex-husband? How ironic is it that getting picked for jury duty turned out to be Lea's lucky day? Ha!
@RealiTcheck Excellent point! Ana also married a lawyer. Lea can't help it if Roy was just way more successful or earned more money than Ana and Robert (idk if that's his name) combined.

Millionaires' Shortbread
Member recipe by fetchgirl
Cooking time
ServingsServes 1 - 24 Squares
Whether in small sqaures or bars, this caramel shortbread is always popular. The different textures are the principal appeal - the crunch of the shortbread base, the caramel in the middle and the cold, crisp chocolate on top.
- For the shortbread:
- 250g plain flour
- 75g caster sugar
- 175g butter, softened
- For the caramel:
- 100g butter or margarine
- 100g light muscavado sugar
- 2 x 397g cans condensed milk
- For the topping:
- 200g plain or milk chocolate, broken into pieces
- Pre-heat the oven to 180'C/Gas mark 4. Lightly grease a 13 x 9inch (33x23cm) Swiss roll tin.
- To make the shortbread, mix the flour and caster sugar in a bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Knead the mixture together until it forms a dough, then press into the base of the prepared tin. Prick the shortbread lightly with a fork and bake in the pre-heated oven for about 20 minutes or until firm to the touch and very lightly browned. Cool in the tin.
- To make the caramel, measure the butter, sugar and condensed milk into a pan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil, stirring all the time, then reduce the heat and simmer very gently, stirring continuously, for about 5 minutes or until the mixture has thickened slightly. Pour over the shortbread and leave to cool.
- For the topping, melt the chocolate slowly in a bowl over a pan of hot water. Pour over the cold caramel and leave to set. Cut into squares or bars.
Comments, questions and tips
Good recipe, produced delicious results! Irelana is absolutely right that the caramel needs a good twenty mins of stirring. I followed her advice and the results are great. It cuts just fine. However, whilst my husband loves the thicker layer of caramel, I would have preferred more choc. If you like your choc, opt for 300 grams!
I made this yesterday exactly as stated in the recipe, except that I increased the amount of chocolate on the top to 300g (200g milk/100g plain). The recipe was a complete success, although very indulgent. I should think you could easily halve the quantity of caramel to make it less rich and less expensive.
I read and re-read all the comments as this recipe really had mixed reviews before I started. They actually turned out successfully!!!! I followed the recipe quantities (i.e 2 tins of condensed milk). Since it was the caramel setting that seemed to be the challenge I did this bit very slowly and carefully. I melted the caramel ingredients slowly to avoid any lumps. Then I brought to the boil. Then reduced to simmer for 5 minutes. At this point the caramel had thickened and darkened slightly and was the colour of Caramac. Another poster gave a tip of testing how easily the caramel would set by putting a tiny bit onto something from the freezer. I used a frozen Choob yoghurt. It set but I felt that if I cut through it with a layer a chocolate on top it would squish out of the sides. So I followed another posters reccomendation to cook for longer. I brought it back up to boil and reduced to simmer for 20 minutes this time. Yes, I stirred continuously for 20 mins (my shoulder was killing me at the end). About 16/17 minutes into that 20 mins the caramel thickened further and turned the colour you'd expect from caramel. I let it cool for about 5 mins in the pan before I poured onto the shortbread. I also used 300g of chocolate instead of 200g after reading some of the comments. I also added a knob of butter into the pan when I was melting the chocolate which made it easy to cut once set. I did chill mine in the fridge but didn't cut it until it had sat back out on the counter at room temp for a while. The only things I might change next time is to up the quantity of shortbread. My tin was 9in x 13 in but the layer of shortbread was quite thin for my personal perference. I also made a rookie mistake of just greasing the tin (I sprayed with cake release), next time I will line with baking paper or greaseproof as a managed to scrape the coating off my tin lifting out the squares with a pallette knife. My family adored these and I took some into work (to avoid over indulging on it myself). I got several compliments, complimentary e-mails, requests for the recipe and a marriage proposal (not a serious one!) so all in all I'd say it was a great success.
i made this today and i took the advice from the comments of only using one tin of condensed milk, wish i just followed original recipe as there is more chocolate than caramel!!! but it still tastes wicked and the biscuit bit was much easier than i thought and tastes really really nice. next time i make it i will definately be using two tins and then it will be perfect.
I made this yesterday for the first time and it was a total success. The shortbread bit was dead easy, though I did add 3/4 tsp of salt as i don't like anything too sweet. Also mine did not take a full 20mins,more like 18mins in fan assisted oven and I almost overdid it.
I hadn't read the comments before starting the caramel so I followed the recipe to the letter - e.g used 2 cans of condensed milk - I did notice I had some brown lumps straight away but I just kept stirring away and they didn't seem to matter in the end. As I was stirring I started to read the comments so ended up cooking the caramel for about 20 mins rather than just 5. I checked it was done by using the tip mentioned earlier by scraping a bit onto something frozen from the freezer (in my case a packet of chicken!) anyways it set fine on there and cooled lovely on top of my shortbread and was nice and firm and easy to cut.
I used plain choc (again don't like too sweet) and added a knob of buttter as suggested.
My shortbread was so good, it looked professional and I had no problem cutting it all.
Will definitely make it again.
Wonderful! I followed the recipe but after reading other problems with caramel I used just one can of milk, but the same amount of butter and sugar. After bringing it to the boil, i turned it down very low and stirred constantly for 20 mins -consistency and quantity was perfect, as was the quantity of chocolate. I added a teaspoon of salt to the biscuit, and it worked really well. Compliments all round!
I have made this on many occassions. I use a ready made sweet pastry case which is just as nice as shortbread, use 50gms of light brown muscavado sugar, 50gms butter and 1 tin of condensed milk. Heat, stirring constantly until it is thickened. This is enough mixture to fill the pastry case. I melt 150gms chocolate and top when cooled. Fail proof.
A solid recipe for a notoriously fiddly treat. Here are some tips that worked for me:
If your caramel starts to go a little lumpy in the pan, don't be disheartened. You won't notice it in the end product.
While melting the chocolate, try adding a knob or two of butter. This will make the chocolate layer a little less crisp, but much easier to slice without it splintering.
Lastly, while slicing the end product, don't be tempted to use a hot knife. This melts the chocolate and caramel, turning the entire thing into a gloopy mess. Instead, try running your knife under cold water, or leaving it in the freezer for a few minutes. It's also easier to slice when the millionaire's shortbread itself has been in the freezer for a while.
Hope this helps!
Have made this a few times- the shortbread is good, but normally needs longer to cook to my liking. I then use the caramel recipe on the back of the tin as the one in the recipe is just too much- the trick to stop any issues with the chocolate is not to chill any of it at any stage. Just let it all cool at room temperature- it is more time consuming from beginning until end but the results are worth it.
I also have had major issues with the caramel setting :( I just tried to cut it for my xmas hampers and all the caramel squished out and the chocolate cracked, this is despite having heated up a knife to do the job! There is no way I could even attempt to wrap what I have as the caramel just sticks to everything. Sad times for my xmas hampers....back to the drawing board!

What do with the wedding pictures
I need help with something.
I don't know what to do with my wedding pictures. It seems rude to throw them in the dumpster. We don't have any kids together that might want them later....I don't really want to keep them. What do I do with them? Any ideas? Is there a way I can dispose of them that doesn't seem so mean, "Yep here go the wedding pictures, right into the dumpster." The thought of it makes me cry. But maybe that's the best thing to do.
If we had children together I would have saved them for them but we don't. I really don't want to keep dusting the album everyday. He's already got a new girlfriend.
Thanks for any suggestions--enjoy your weekend,

Mostly good that is. There was one brief flare of temper when DT Nick James got frustrated by a legitimate block from linebacker-turned-temporary TE Christian Holmes, and rassled him to the turf after the whistle. It took a couple of teammates and James' position coach to pull the hefty tackle off, but Holmes wasn't complaining. And Mullen was openly grinning, though he did call the freshman aside for a moment's talk.
That exception didn't alter the Saturday rule of a pretty good time had by all. The only other potential sore point was having the starters, offense and defense, taking turns running with Coach Matt Balis on another field while the rest of the roster played 11-on-11. The varsity didn't seem to mind much either. Whether it was looking forward to a serious scrimmage tomorrow, or the prospect of beginning real preparations for their Gator Bowl date with Northwestern; or just relief that school is out, everybody had some bounce in their step this time.
Mullen wasn't surprised. "This time of year when they're out here, there's no school going on, really no game-planning. It's just playing the game of football and working and getting better for themselves. To me, it's a great feeling knowing you have a bunch of guys that love to do that."
Some of those guys, eight to be exact, were not part of the practicing fun. They were in Humphrey Coliseum for fall semester graduation. One, S Nickoe Whitley, has earned his bachelors in 3-1/2 years. He was joined in the diploma-walk line by CB Corey Broomfield, OG Tobias Smith, WR Arceto Clark, TE Marcus Green, FB Adrian Marcus, DT Devin Jones, and OG Joey Trapp.
Not practicing with injuries today were LB Christian Holmes, CB Cedric Jiles, OG Ben Beckwith, and CB Xavier Grindle. QB Tyler Russell threw a few passes in drills but did little other work…though he was also excused from the varsity wind-sprinting.
In the individual rush/protect drills WR Brandon Holloway delivered a surprising shot to walk-on cornerback Davis, showing his prep background as a tailback. At one point WR Jameon Lewis got some pre-snap coaching from CB John Banks, but either it didn't help or the cornerback was just setting the receiver up. Because CB Will Redmond whipped Lewis easily.
Other drill-work had linebackers trying to cover backs and tight ends one-on-one, with the offense owning this period. Holmes, who just moved to offense for camp, had a fine catch against former cohort LB Matt Wells. LB Zach Jackson had his side's best play as he got position on TE Malcolm Johnson for a breakup.
Kickoff coverage got another day of attention against a scratch return team. But CB Darius Slay wasn't fooling around, he was serious on his return and broke the middle for a 'touchdown'. S Louis Watson and WR Sam Williams also got to field kicks for the coverage club's practicing.
Despite being a shorts-and-shoulder pads day, the energy produced quite a bit of above-the-waist contact and some outright tackling. In pass-skel work WR Robert Johnson had the ball separated from him by Slay, who scooped and 'scored' by running through the rest of the offensive roster for the fun of it. Working with the second defense MLB Richie Brown was constantly told by Coach Geoff Collisn to "be a cobra Richie, be a cobra." The freshman certainly struck when QB Dak Prescott tried throwing to TE Brandon Hill, stepping inside for the interception.
To round-out some complete units a couple of starters did work in 11-on-11 competition, such as MLB Benardrick McKinney, OLB Matt Wells, and both Malcolm and Robert Johnson. In a few cases a youngster was promoted too, with redshirt Beniquez Brown taking snaps with the first unit at weak-side.
Going team-on-team, WR Ricco Sanders got behind Redmond for a sideline catch from QB Jamil Golden. The walk-on quarterback split all the team snaps with Prescott. It was Prescott who made a smart play-fake and rollout that got Lewis open for the catch…though the receiver paid for it as CB Taveze Calhoun gave him quite a shot. WR Joe Morrow got the same treatment only harder, as when he spun after a catch B.Brown put him down hard.
Holmes showed he could block as he helped spring R.Johnson for a good gain after the screen catch. That was the play that so irked DT James, who was the only Dog held after practice for some gassers. WR Fred Brown showed both moves and muscle as he spun off one tackle, stiff-armed fellow redshirt S Deontay Evans for a longer gain. Evans made up for this by reading a tight end pass play and coming up to deflect the throw for Holmes.
S Dee Arrington was sandwiched by downfield blocking on a RB Josh Robinson run. On the play Arrington came up limping and had his left leg looked at. A couple of snaps later Robinson broke through the right guard and went the distance with M.Johnson leading the blocking. The play was possible because DT James, still frustrated, had charged inside too soon and vacated his gap.
The first turnover of team finally came as Wells picked Prescott. Later Prescott under pressure tried dumping to Robinson in traffic, and DE Ryan Brown came up with the carom for a return touchdown. The day ended on 'sack' by DE John Harris as he came in behind Golden and knocked the ball free.
Mullen spoke briefly with the handful of media who'd made the early session, while the rest of his staff raced to their offices for a fast change and quick recruiting trips.
A lot of energy was showed today? "And that's part of it. I bet these guys could have stayed out there and practiced for another couple of hours and probably still continued to have fun doing it! So it's good to see the guys and the attitude they have and how they are as a team."
And finals ended yesterday, too? "I think that helps! Right now all they're worried about is being football players and that's why you see a lot of smiles on their faces."
Will you scrimmage regardless of weather? "Scrimmage, rain or shine tomorrow. Now the time of the scrimmage tomorrow might fluctuate. Because it's supposed to rain early. We're going to get out and scrimmage in the stadium tomorrow and we've just got to be flexible with the schedule. There's no lights (due to construction) so it has to be before it gets dark. If it's just going to downpour all day we'll probably go indoors."
Will it be mostly the same teams that have been doing drills and practicing this week? "Yeah, all the guys that have been doing everything here, they're just going to go and scrimmage. It depends on our tempo how many plays you get. You'd love guys to get about 60 reps."
We've talked to players about next year and the offense and how it might evolve? "You look, we've got a bunch of tight ends coming back, and we've got a bunch of younger receivers. So I think they've going to be involved a little bit more in the offense at times. And we'll develop that into next year. These practices really haven't been a direction that we're going in next year, it's more getting the experience for the guys and getting them comfortable within the system. In this off-season we'll research like we always do. We're not going to change our offense but tweak towards the strengths of the guys that we have."
Will the starters begin looking at Northwestern today? "I hope so. We haven't really grinded them on it yet. I know our coaches are all out recruiting today. So with those guys just to get a start on a good foundation about it all. We'll do a regular game week next week so I want our guys ready to play as if it's a week from today is game day, that we're ready to kick it off even before we get down to Jacksonville."

I came here thinking how much I still get lost here..miss the old site, the running jokes, commentaries,meltdowns only a memory, streaming conversations not getting lost by following another "thread", the superhero names, BFLMIKE calling someone to the mat, clash of theories, or someone upset because they didnt win for their category, etc! ANyway, here i am giving it another go! Thinking I'm sneaking in while everyone's in TN! In Day Four now...this is the easiest part!
I see you Trudy. :)
Welcome back to the playground. We've missed you. :)
Hugs for your day all - the energy here is fabulous. Will share it all when we are home.
Ugh...I just remebered how easy it is to "run out of opportunity" to w/o properly on w/ends! I'm in day five and not doing it perfectly but I needed a new hobby and BFL seemed like a GREAT choice again! There are only 12 weeks between Thanksgiving and 2011...best I get my head in a brighter more positive place NOW! LAst go I had at this I got bogged down with no loss on the scale and then couldnt see any progress BECAUSE i was so preoccupied with no scale loss. I have my measurements written down in permanant marker directly ON my bedroom mirror.
There we go Trudy, thats the trudy we know going for that gold, I have my measurements also down but not on the mirror in permanant marker just in my BFL book in permanant pen, LOL Now you will have to stay away from the scales this time. and do the 12 weeks first and then go on the scale and see how you did.Just look in that big mirror and see all the good things you are doing for yourself,and your family that you love so much. They will thankyou for taking care of yourself.. :-)

Now fast forward to 8.52pm and I'm on my way to do it! (and the worst is that LB is my least favorite and this being my first one in a while it'll take longer!) Oh well ((((((shrug)))))) with only 17 LBWO's left to do guess I better get at it and whittle it down to 16.
Good to hear that your on it Trudy, ( So it was Monday yesterday Thanksgiving and I did my LBWO's and today was my HIIT ) Got it done.

Tuesday, July 16, 2013 - OU cinema studies students work on commercial shoot

Eight students in Oakland University's Cinema Studies program had the chance to go on set and behind the camera this summer during a unique internship experience with a local production company filming a web commercial series for the Chrysler Group Ram Truck brand.
Through a partnership with OU artist-in-residence Michael Manasseri and his production company Made-in-Michigan Entertainment (MIME), the students were hired to work on and assist with the production and post-production segments of the feature.
"Experiences like this one provide an important link between the academic side of a cinema studies education and the commercial and professional world," said Kyle Edwards, director of the Cinema Studies program.
"In this profession, most people have work that they do for themselves and work they do for others, and it is important for our students to differentiate between the two and to learn professional standards. It is a very different process to work for clients and agencies, which makes this internship a really great experience. It is very similar to the type of experience they will find after college."
Ram Truck brand interactive manager Dennis Gustafson said, "We are always looking for quality, cost effective solutions for providing engaging website content. Working with MIME and the Oakland University students was a very rewarding experience."
Oakland's Cinema Studies program offers an interdisciplinary look at film history, critical theory and film production. Students armed with a cinema studies degree will be prepared with the critical-thinking and communication skills needed for a career within the film industry and a variety of related fields.
Cinema studies student Bradley Cooper assists with the script.
As production interns for MIME, students were able to participate in many technical aspects of production and worked alongside professional cinematographers, directors, producers, editors and crew, editors and crew, including OU artists-in-residence Benoit and Julien Decaillon. Additionally, two of the students are slated to observe post-production editing work over the course of the summer.
Cinema Studies major Bradley Cooper was able to accrue a wide variety of experience. From setting up equipment and props, managing cables and standing in for the actors, he was also able to sit in with the producers working on the script.
"It was a very involved role, as I was constantly working and communicating with the professionals behind the camera," Cooper said.
Manasseri and Reed (right) work with equipment on set.
"The days were very long and very hot and exhausting, but I absolutely loved it. I've gotten a lot of experience from those three days on set, as well as a few professional contacts that have already reached out to me to work with them on different projects."
Andrea Eis, associate professor in the Cinema Studies program, joined the students for the three-day commercial shoot, which ran for more than 13 hours each day.
"It has been wonderful," she said. "Our students are so into the experience and so excited to learn. The professionals on set worked closely with the students and allowed them to ask questions and learn practical skills, such as the complexity of lighting a scene, or how to handle a lens properly."
"These professionals saw our OU students as hardworking, efficient and professional," Eis continued. "You can find a million students interested in working on a film set, but our students have the knowledge and skills to be helpful. These are qualities that people notice."
Once production wraps, the Ram Truck brand and MIME will donate video equipment used during the shoot to Oakland's Cinema Studies program for use in the classroom and in a professional setting.
