The School for Scandal
Beware the gossips! Lady Sneerwell and her hireling, Snake, are certainly up to no good in this timeless send-up of hypocritical manners. Thanks to their scandal-mongering, the comely Lady Teazle must fend off the slanderous barbs that have caught the ear of her elderly husband - as well as every other gossip in London! What follows is a torrent of mistaken identities and sex-crazed scheming in which the upper classes have never looked so low class.
An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring (in alphabetical order): Stuart Bunce as Charles Surface, Jane Carr as Mrs. Candour, John H. Francis as Rowley/Others, Henri Lubatti as Snake/Moses/Others, Christopher Neame as Sir Oliver Surface, Moira Quirk as Maria/Maid, Julian Sands as Joseph Surface, Susan Sullivan as Lady Sneerwell, Tara Summers as Lady Teazle, Simon Templeman as Sir Peter Teazle, James Warwick as Crabtree/Others, and Matthew Wolf as Sir Benjamin Backbite. Directed by Michael Hackett. Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles, in January 2011.

This is a play for English Lit students!
Any additional comments?
I definitely enjoyed The School for Scandal and even found myself laughing at times. I think the story was elevated by the excellent performances, particularly those of Peter Teazle and Lady Candour.
This story is very much an artifact of its time. It plays on what might be considered scandalous during that period and it develops this notion that each subset of society is made up of at least one of each type of person portrayed--an honest gentleman and an honest woman, an older gossip, a conniving wench, an egotistical older man who likes pulling rank...I could go on, but you probably get it by now!
Anyway, if you do listen to his audible performance or read the story, you might want to do so while you're still in school. I am a few years removed from college and I certainly would have understood the nuances, satire and irony in this play a lot better with the help of a professor and a preceptor.

Disappointed in production without text
What would have made The School for Scandal better?
To include the text would be a simple enough addition and sorrily needed, since the play as produced is severely abridged.

1300Audiovisual is a new company that, funnily enough, sells audio visual products. The brand was created so that an online store could be developed for our parent company - Command Integration - who are integrators of audiovisual equipment for classrooms and boardrooms. Command Integration wanted a vehicle to promote AV products that did not specifically require integration or specialised installation. Think projector lamps, projection screens, computer accessories, cables etc. Our products range from low dollar PC products to $10,000 boardroom and classroom equipment . The name 1300AV comes from the phoneword we have registered so clients can ring 1300Audiovisual (1300 283468).
Predominently business users of AV products. Schools, government departments, corporate clients although some domestic users also.
Something very simple that highlights the fact we are an online/phone store and incorporates the 1300 number. In my minds eye I see a telephone and computer mouse with the phone number incorporated. The clours and look and feel should be same as parent company. See website at http://www.commandintegration.com.au. Clients can click through form here to the online store. A template for the store can be found here http://www.templatemonster.com/osco…/9005.html

Blue Oven customers pay an hourly rate, which can range from $10 to $25, depending on energy usage and other factors. Rao said this is easier than investing the startup capital needed to establish her own commercial space for her small-business venture.
Local spice-maker Shalini Rao tossed tan seasoning onto a layer of olive oil heating in a silver pot — followed by light-yellow coriander powder and red pepper — as she spent another Wednesday morning cooking at Blue Oven Kitchens.
Wrapped in a burgundy apron with her dark hair tied back, Rao dumped diced tomatoes into the bubbling spice mixture as she began making a chickpea soup her customers could taste later that day at the Union Street Farmers Market in downtown Gainesville.
She uses the commercial kitchen run by Blue Oven Kitchens, a local, nonprofit kitchen incubator, to create spice mixes she collects in shiny bags stamped with her "Saras" logo and sells each week at the farmers market for $3.50 a bag. She makes seasonings for meats and vegetables, soups and salads and bottles of sweet-and-tangy dipping sauce.
Rao also creates such concoctions as her spiced-up soup to show people how her seasonings can be used to create delicious meals. She said she hopes her food will convince them the words "vegan" and "gluten-free" aren't synonymous with "tasteless."
"These seasonings have been with my home for generations," she said. "My mom used to make it."
Rao has been selling her spices for about three years, hopping between commercial facilities where she can make her products. With the grand opening of Blue Oven Kitchens' commercial space in December, she said she found a place where she plans to cook long-term.
Blue Oven customers pay an hourly rate, which can range from $10 to $25, depending on energy usage and other factors. Rao said this is easier than investing the startup capital needed to establish her own commercial space for her small-business venture.
"I used to jump from place to place," she said. "This is so easy for me."
She said she thought about starting a restaurant but opted for something that required lower overhead costs and less pressure. Once a week, she cooks at Blue Oven Kitchens and then heads to the Wednesday evening farmers market. She was the nonprofit's first commercial customer.
Gainesville needs a facility like this because there are many entrepreneurs and would-be small-business owners who would like to sell their wares at a farmers market but need a place to make their stuff, she said.
As Rao poured a blended mix of chickpeas, onion and ginger into the orange-red base of her soup, Blue Oven Kitchens President Val Leitner donned a white apron and black-cloth hat as she whipped up a batch of the nonprofit's garden caviar. The organization sells this pesto-like spread as a way to bring in money and get its name out there.
Blue Oven Kitchens was established in 2010 with the goal of opening a commercial kitchen that local food entrepreneurs could use to launch their startup businesses, Leitner said. Setting up an inspected kitchen is difficult and pricey, she said, especially for people just starting out who are unsure if their idea will succeed.
"It's one of those things that you don't exactly know how it's going to work out until you do it," Leitner said of starting a food business. "You have to have grit as an entrepreneur."
Creating products at Blue Oven Kitchens' facility, with its array of cooking appliances, allows people to get their business running with fewer risks because they can always just quit renting the space if they decide to end their venture, she said. They also don't have to worry about maintenance or utility costs. Just having an oven hood costs the nonprofit $1,100 a year.
Interested entrepreneurs can focus on growing their business while Blue Oven Kitchens manages the facility. Many food-industry beginners in the area are often low-income or disadvantaged and don't have the capital or experience to launch their business without support from places like this, Leitner said.
Blue Oven Kitchens has two commercial customers, including Rao, and several people are interested in using the facility, Leitner said, ranging from someone who wants to make hot sauces to a beekeeper who needs a place to bottle honey.
Leitner cited a strong entrepreneurial spirit and interest in local food in North Central Florida that she hopes will foster the growth of Blue Oven Kitchens' operation.
"This is the only kitchen incubator that's around up here," she said.
Apart from renting the kitchen space to people like Rao, the nonprofit supports its operation by hosting cooking classes. Rao has taught an Indian cuisine class, while the organization has a "Chocolate and Bubbles" event on Valentine's Day where couples can learn to make desserts.
Some entrepreneurs focus on offering cooking classes rather than making specific products, and Blue Oven Kitchens provides a space where they can conduct those demonstrations, said Stefanie Samara Hamblen, a founding board member and publisher of the Hogtown HomeGrown newsletter.
The nonprofit's facility gives entrepreneurs, whether they teach cooking courses or make their own chocolates, a state-inspected, quality kitchen to do their work, she said. The people who rent the space also must pass state inspection and certification requirements, but they can use the kitchen without worrying about its operating costs.
"It's a lot of money to start up a commercial kitchen from scratch," Hamblen said.
Hamblen said she hopes the upcoming cooking classes hosted at the nonprofit's kitchen will draw new people to its operation who will take advantage of the rentable space.
"We're real excited right now," Hamblen said. "This'll mean constant use of the kitchen and new people coming into the kitchen who might not have seen it before or even heard of it."

I suppose if Brad Bird wracks up a few more big live-action hits he could have the leverage to be a patron saint/exec. producer for animated films directed by others , much the same way that Tim Burton has done so much to keep Stop Motion animation alive.

I wouldn't say that, 1906 has been on his mind for years. It was a given he'd move onto that next.

Whhops just read 1906 is in addition to the other live action film. That's unfortunate :(
- May 03, 2012 6:42 PM
Sad, so sad. Just watched The Incredibles again the other night and was marveling at his very tight direction and how there is not a dull spot in the whole thing. A masterpiece of action directing - and I guess it was inevitable that he should go to live action. The good news is that perhaps he will have a unique voice there as well!

Congrats to Brad Bird. Everyone is entitled to his/her own career without the rest of us presuming what he/she should do. For example, part of the reason that made Bob Dylan so amazing was defying what others expected him to do or be.

Organizations that are looking for security features including identity management, encryption and access control -- and at the same time want to take advantage of the cost and flexibility benefits of the cloud -- might check into security-as-a-service offerings available now from several vendors.
In this scenario, security is delivered as a service from the cloud, without requiring on-premises hardware. "The largest benefit to using security as a service is the ability to avoid sometimes substantial capital outlays," says Lawrence Pingree, a research director at Gartner Inc. who covers the security market.
In addition, Pingree says, some of the cloud-based security services provide the flexibility needed to address certain use cases. For example, email filtering services are popular since some mobile device platforms limit the ability for endpoint protection products to run on them.

Lena Dunham Goes for a Gold Dress on the 2014 Golden Globes Red Carpet [PHOTOS]by Maggie Malach | PopCrush
The broadcast of the 2014 Golden Globes may be competing with the season premiere of 'Girls,' but writer/directer/star Lena Dunham was completely unfazed.The Best Actress nominee was beaming as she modeled a golden gown on the red carpet. She kept the look simple, wearing her hair in loose waves and adding a stunning diamond necklace. See her head-to-toe look below!
We love, love, love this color on Lena!
Lena's red-orange lipstick is the perfect color to accent the dress.
We think this is one of Lena's best looks yet, yes?

"The Hangover Part II" angered more than a few people by recycling the formula that made the original a surprise hit. But that didn't stop the film from taking in more than half-a-billion dollars, making it the highest grossing comedy ever. So of course there's gonna be a third one, right?
Zach Galifiankis said this summer that he was already getting calls about "Hangover III," which he says will involve his character (Alan) getting busted out of an asylum.
And now Bradley Cooper (aka "The Sexiest Man Alive") said, while making an appearance on "The Graham Norton Show" (by way of The Playlist"), that #3 will shoot in September, take place in LA, and will break from the successful "Hangover" recipe. Watch:
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
While acknowledging that "Part II" was a bit cookie-cutter, we enjoy it and would happily surrender another two hours to our life to the Wolfpack's brand of idiocy.

Self scarred hearts
From the first time I saw scarification on BME I really liked this type of modification. I have always liked the look and feel of scars, I think they can be very beautiful. However I didn't know if I would ever get any done personally and was very scared about the prospect of someone cutting me. After considering it for a while I decided I wanted to do scarification on myself. I would be much more comfortable cutting myself than having someone else do it because I have self harmed for quite a few years so I feel I know my body quite well and know how it heals etc. I wanted to put a scar on myself for a positive reason, rather than negative reasons like when I self harmed. I wanted a small simple design so that it would be not too difficult for me to do. I finally decided on two small hearts, one below each hip. This design is simple, has positive connotations to go with the image and I like the symmetry of hearts. I knew this wasn't going to turn out perfect or as good as if
I went to a professional but I wanted to do it more for the experience than for the finished result.
After doing some research I ordered a number 11 scalpel, some sterets and a surgical skin marker and waited for them to arrive. I made a paper template of the heart that I could draw round so the hearts would be as even as possible.
When my equipment had arrived and I was ready to do it I first gave my hands a good wash and then wiped them with a steret. I did this because I hadn't been able to get hold of any gloves so thought I would just clean my hands as best as I could. I placed the scalpel, other sterets and skin marker on a piece of kitchen towel on my bedside table. I left the scalpel and marker in their packaging for now as I didn't want to open them before I needed to. Then I had the task of marking up and trying to make the hearts even. Firstly I wiped the area with a steret to clean the skin. Then I positioned the template on the right side how I wanted it, taped it in place then drew round it with the skin marker. Now the difficult bit was trying to get the heart on the other side even. I drew a line vertically in the centre of my stomach and then measured how far away from this line the bottom point of the right heart was. It was 2 inches. So then I measured 2 inches from the left of the l ine and put a dot. This is where the bottom point of the left heart should sit. I then positioned it so it looked even and drew round the template. This sounds quite complicated; hopefully I should have some pictures on my IAM page so you can see what I mean! Once I had drawn them both on I examined them and one seemed to be higher up so I repositioned the right one and it looked better.
Now for the cutting. I did a practise cut on my leg first to get a feel of the scalpel. It wasn't as sharp as I was expecting it to be so the cuts aren't as deep as I hoped but never mind, I could always go over them! Or the scalpel probably was sharp enough, I just don't know the techniques that professionals use and I'm not used to using this kind of blade to make cuts. I found the curves quite difficult, it was hard to stay on the lines I had drawn but I think I did quite well. I had to keep going over it a few times as it just wasn't cutting very deep but it didn't hurt or bleed too much. I'm slightly disappointed that I don't have more gory photos to show everyone! I'm going to irritate it with lemon juice and keep pulling the cuts apart to stimulate scar tissue growth.
The first time I applied the lemon juice it stung quite a lot because the cuts were very fresh but after the first time it wasn't too bad. I put the lemon juice on twice a day and then pulled the cuts apart gently. After about 5 days I stopped doing this because they scabs were starting to come off, I just picked off the scabs. After about 10 days all the scabs had come off and I am left with a nice pink scar, but once it fades I don't think they will be very noticeable. It actually turned out better than I thought it would after doing the cutting as I hadn't cut it as deep as I wanted. The curved parts at the top of the hearts haven't scarred as well as the straight lines because I had a bit more difficulty cutting these parts but overall I am very pleased with the result and am quite proud of myself for doing this. You can see pictures on my IAM page. I think this was a very worthwhile experience for me.
Disclaimer: Although this was a positive experience for me I would advise going to a professional for scarification. If you really want to attempt it yourself please do your research and use sterile equipment!

For a second day in a row, the European Union's top financial official sought Tuesday to quash speculation that private bank depositors in Cyprus might be forced to take losses as part of a bailout deal - a suggestion that's fueled fears of large-scale withdrawals from the country's troubled banks.
The new head of the euro area's 17 finance ministers stoked concerns Monday about the security of uninsured private deposits in Cyprus when he declined to rule out such a step following repeated questions from reporters. Instead, Eurogroup chief Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who is also the Dutch finance minister, said the matter had not been discussed at the meeting he'd just chaired - his first.
Olli Rehn, the EU's monetary affairs commission, stepped in then to say that the European Commission, the union's executive arm, was not working on any such proposal.
On Tuesday, following a meeting of all 27 EU finance ministers, Rehn repeated that and then went a step further.
Even though private creditors were forced to take losses as part of a deal to bail out Greece, Rehn noted that the Commission had said at the time that such a step would not be repeated - and that, he said, remains the Commission's position.
"The Commission is not working on any PSI option for Cyprus," Rehn said, using jargon for Private Sector Involvement, or forced losses on private creditors.
"Greece is a specific and unique case in this regard," he said.
Meanwhile, the front-runner in Cyprus' presidential election, to be held Feb 17, said Tuesday that he would not sign any bailout deal that would force private depositors to take losses. Right-wing opposition leader Nicos Anastasiades said it was "imperative that we put an end to insecurity and uncertainty."
In addition, the current Cypriot finance minister, Vassos Shiarly, has also ruled out such a step.
The bailout of as much as (EURO)17 billion ($22.84 billion) is equivalent to Cyprus' entire economy, raising concerns that the country might not be able to pay it off.
Cypriot officials are in discussions with potential international creditors, including its partners in the 17-country group of European Union countries that uses the euro, about a rescue package to avoid possible bankruptcy that could see it ditch the euro currency. The country got into trouble through its banks' exposure to Greece.
The final shape of a bailout, and the conditions that will be attached to it, is expected to be agreed upon in the second half of March. The conditions will depend not only on an examination of the country's financial difficulties by the so-called troika of international lenders - the Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund - but also on a negotiation between the troika and national officials, and among the troika members themselves.
"Uncertainty over the exact form of Cyprus' bailout will continue to hang over markets in the coming weeks," said Elwin de Groot, an analyst at Rabobank International.
Hadjicostis reported from Cyprus. Pan Pylas in Brussels contributed to this report.

Michael Buble + Wife Say Hello to Baby Boy Noah [PHOTO]
Michael Buble and wife Luisana Lopilato welcomed their first child into the world today (Aug. 27), a baby boy named Noah Buble.
"Overjoyed and filled with gratitude at the arrival of our son Noah Buble. Born this morning, August 27th at 2:26 am in Vancouver, Canada," Buble captioned a photo of the family, which is now plus one.
Buble has been awaiting the birth of his son for weeks now, even canceling an appearance on the 'Today' show on Aug. 9 because he didn't want to miss the arrival of his child (who his personal website dubbed Baby Buble).
The couple married in March of 2011, once in a small ceremony and again in front of friends and family. This is the first child for both. Congratulations all around!

Mia Stainsby
Vancouver Sun
One in nine Canadian women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. One in 29 will die from it.
That said, it's good to have Elizabeth Hurley on our side.
Hurley — actress , model, farmer (yes indeed — she runs a 400-acre organic farm), swimwear designer, ex-girlfriend and now friend of actor Hugh Grant, and mom (not necessarily in order of significance) — has been a global ambassador for the Estee Lauder Companies' Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign for 19 years.
She visited The Bay Downtown in that role wearing a symbolic pink dress (backless) and looking quite stunning at 48. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month around the world and no doubt about it, celebrities attract attention to causes.
To Hurley, like most people, breast cancer visited her family. Her grandmother died of the disease in 1992 and for Hurley, she is her touchstone to the battle against breast cancer.
"My grandmother died just before I joined Estee Lauder Companies (parent company to many beauty brands, including Estee Lauder, Clinique, Origins, Darphin, Jo Malone, La Mer and Aveda) and she's exactly the sort of woman that the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign would have helped. She didn't tell anyone about her lump. It was pre-pink ribbon days and before mammograms were encouraged. She waited until it was very painful and it had grown big. She was scared and embarrassed. If she had found the lump today, it would have been different," said Hurley. "Back then, breast cancer just was not talked about. It was not in the open. Media hadn't joined in the campaign and it would have been very surprising to have been talked about in glossy magazines."
And that silence, she says, is exactly why her friend, the late Evelyn Lauder started the company campaign. "She was very inspired by the AIDS activists raising money and awareness. She said to me, 'Elizabeth, women are dying all over the world. We have to change that!'"
'Spectacular', is how Hurley describes the effects of awareness campaigns like the one she represents, during an interview in the Platinum Room of The Bay. "I was talking to a research scientist recently and he told me that 20 years ago, women would only go to their doctors after the cancer had progressed. Today, it's very rare that someone would wait to go to a doctor with a big tumour. If detected early, chances for survival are very high.
"I have four very good friends, all of whom were under the age of 40 when they were diagnosed and because each of them were able to detect it early, they are surviving and thriving today." In her own life, she goes for a mammogram every year on her birthday.
"I was talking to 50 young women recently, all bloggers, probably all under 25 and as I was talking to them, I realized they'd never known a world without the pink ribbon. I realized they were of an age where it always existed," says Hurley.
This year, she says, the Estee Lauder Companies' Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign is a call to action, shifting public focus from awareness to action. "We want people to join in and do their bit. We're inviting people to rally and create their own 'circles of strength' with friends, family, co-workers and make a pledge. Say you will all examine your breasts every month, get a mammogram if over 40 or fund-raise. A donation (to the Foundation) of $50 represents an hour of research at the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and $250,000 supports a research project for a year. Throw $10 into a pot and if there's five of you, you'll have paid for an hour of research time. You'll find the Foundation online (bcacampaign.com)," she urged.
Ever the pro, Hurley guided the topic into the Estee Lauder Companies' fundraising products. "Do you want to see my favourite lip gloss? It's the first one I ever chose for this campaign. Evelyn and I used to choose our favourite colours. This is a retro product," she says, opening and tracing her lips with the Estee Lauder Pure Color Sheer Roller Gloss. "Isn't it great?"
"What a Christmas gift for someone you love. It's a solid fragrance. See?" she says, opening the Evelyn Lauder Dream Solid Perfume in a little compact with a pink ribbon design. One hundred per cent of sales of this item goes directly to the to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Estee Lauder Companies owns many other cosmetic brands and of those, Aveda, Clinique, Darphin, Jo Malone, La Mer, and Origins are also participating in this year's fundraising campaign.
Meanwhile The Bay is donating 10 per cent of sales from 'Think Pink' items to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and customers can donate HBC Points accumulated from the purchases to the the CBCF.
"I think my mother would be very proud to know that this is an effort that lives beyond her," Estee Lauder Companies executive chair, William Lauder, said in a statement. "She would want us to fight just as hard as she did to prevent breast cancer from destroying any more lives and I intend to do just that.
"My mother and grandmother always said that women are the people who make our company great. Further, my mother believed that it's one thing to be able to create quality products that make women look and feel beautiful, but it's quite another to help them live longer and more beautiful lives – and she didn't think that those two goals were mutually exclusive."

An Australian security penetration tester has developed a method to inject a rootkit capable of loading at boot on encrypted Apple computers.
The proof-of-concept rootkit defeats FileVault encryption and takes advantage of functionality within the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) to push malware to devices.
Loukas K, penetration tester at Melbourne outfit Assurance.com.au, better known as Snare, demonstrated that the rootkit could persist within the EFI firmware, allowing an attacker to modify everything within it.
|Black Hat 2012 coverage
It builds on the simpler Evil Maid attacks and uses the EFI is used to upload a malicious payload during boot to target machines via an infected PCI expansion device.
The EFI development kit was introduce to make it easier for developers to write modular code, but was also a boon for malware writers who could use the development kit to infect new systems.
"These attacks can be undertaken against a wide range of hardware and software configurations with a great deal of ease, compared to similar attacks against the legacy PC BIOS, due to the standardised and cross-platform nature of the EFI specification and its supporting technologies," Snare wrote in a research paper.
He built an EFI Driver Execution Environment driver that once loaded could interfere with the boot process by hooking various protocols in the pre-boot environment, and would execute within the context of the bootloader and patch the kernel prior to its execution.
(See breaking: Trojan uses rootkit on Windows, Mac and mobile)
The attack, demonstrated at Black Hat 2012 in Las Vegas, could capture passwords from Apple's encryption system Filevault at boot by using a keylogger and overwriting various protocols.
That works by monitoring for changes to the Simple Text Protocol prior to a password request and overwriting a pointer with one crafted by the attacker.
"When the driver is unloaded, or the ExitBootServices()function is called and the malicious driver is notified, it can write the key buffer to a file or transmit it over the network to the waiting attacker," Snare wrote in his technical paper.
To patch and modify the OS kernel, it uses the "age-old technique" of storing a payload in the page-alignment padding between binary segments. It infects the boot device by patching or replacing the Mac OS X bootloader with a malicious version.`
Older vectors were still useful for these attacks, Snare said. John Heasman, researcher at NGS Software, illustrated in 2007 research (pdf) how PCI expansion ROMs could be used to attack systems at boot.
Those expansion ROMs could be used to store Snares' malicious EFI and legacy BIOS drivers, meaning both systems could be attacked.
Users could help defend against simpler Evil Maid attacks, but not against Snare's latest tactic, by activating new password-protection on the Boot Device Selection.
The introduction of Secure Boot (UEFI 2.3.1) which authenticates executables within EFI would put a kibosh on the attacks, but this does not currently exist.
The proof of concept Evil Maid attacks use an Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter and an ExpressCard SATA adapter as payload delivery mechanisms.

First you need to have scapy installed. And if you don't know about scapy, then
Scapy is a powerful interactive packet manipulation program. It is able to forge or decode packets of a wide number of protocols, send them on the wire, capture them, match requests and replies, and much more. It can easily handle most classical tasks like scanning, tracerouting, probing, unit tests, attacks or network discovery (it can replace hping, 85% of nmap, arpspoof, arp-sk, arping, tcpdump, tethereal, p0f, etc.). It also performs very well at a lot of other specific tasks that most other tools can't handle, like sending invalid frames, injecting your own 802.11 frames, combining technics (VLAN hopping+ARP cache poisoning, VOIP decoding on WEP encrypted channel, …), etc
So, just install scapy
dnf install PyX scapy
Once done, start scapy so that you can capture and see the packet in pdf.

The ridiculous, sappy truth is that, when a long-running series has been flailing a bit, getting to see familiar recurring characters piling up in an episode like tray-bearing waiters in the stateroom scene in A Night At The Opera can make you feel like you've been thrown a life preserver. This is a standard-edition home-game episode designed to move the season's big overarching storyline forward, while bringing in enough old favorites to remind us why we might care. It's nowhere near as imaginative or affecting as the best stand-alone episodes from this season, and I don't want to overpraise it, but once it gets rolling, it does restore the feeling—which the last couple of episodes from a month ago left a little dented—that the people making this show still know how to make it work. It even makes good use of Crowley, and after some of the things I've written about him in the past, it is no simple thing for me to admit to having been glad to see Mark A. Sheppard. It's almost the waking version of one of those dreams where I show up for the final exam in my underwear.
At first, I thought the pre-titles sequence, in which Castiel wastes Dean, must be a dream sequence itself. But then Naomi makes her entrance, and it's revealed that she has been putting Cas through his paces, making sure he's prepared to do the hardest thing he'll ever have to do on Earth—kill his man-crush, Dean—by making sure he's well-rehearsed. A striking image counts for a lot on this show, and the shot of what looks like an underground parking garage littered with scores of Jensen Ackles corpses definitely qualifies. Soon Cas is back among us mortals and working with the brothers again. He thinks he knows where to find the "demon tablet" that has the power to permamnently seal the gates of Hell, so they head off for one of "God's crypts" together—even though Cas seems trigger-happy about dispatching any demons that cross the path, and the Winchesters can tell that he's not quite himself.
The best gimmick here is the device of cutting back and forth between the action in the terrestrial world and the scenes in Heaven (or inside Cas' head), with Naomi guiding his actions, telling him who to smite and when to lie, and, inevitably, ordering him to kill Dean. The MVP is Meg, who the boys find, like an extra prize at the bottom of a Crackerjack box, when they're searching for the tablet. Meg has spent a year being tortured at Crowley's hand, an experience that has only honed her gift for the killer wisecrack. (He calls her "my favorite chew toy.") She opens with a smart remark about Dean's height and then says to Sam, who is at his most mouth-breathing, "You know, I get why Crowley calls you 'Moose' now." Nor does she have a problem turning the knife on herself; she's sporting badly dyed, stringy hair, which was apparently one of Crowley's torture techniques: "Just another reason I want to stab him in the face." The only person she has no interest in picking on is Cas; somehow, even when she sort of insults his intelligence, it has a tenderness to it. At the end, making ready to sacrifice herself for his safety if necessary, she calls him "my unicorn." I haven't choked up like that since J. R. Ewing's funeral.
There is a big reveal, not counting the absolute no-brainer that Naomi overplays her hand when she tries to make Cas kill Dean. (Instead, she inadvertently opens the door to the Manchurian Candidate moment when his natural instincts overcome his brainwashed conditioning and he can break free of her control.) It turns out the demon tablet is actually an "angel tablet," which has the power to do God knows what, and which the angels want to keep under wraps. At the conclusion, Cas has it under his coat as he lights out of Dodge, while Naomi sits in her office, on the receiving end of a pissed-off stare from an Asian woman who is presumably her boss. It's not clear if he has a game plan beyond keeping his head down, but a road trip is a road trip. We probably won't get it, but at this point, I'd kill for just one episode devoted to Cas' solo adventures in America, even if he is leaving the driving to Greyhound.
Stray observations:
- Supernatural has never turned up its nose at the occasional jokey pop-culture reference, but in this episode, the show practically morphs into a Joss Whedon production for minutes at a time. There are out-of-nowhere references to Glengarry Glen Ross, Zero Dark Thirty, Bill Nye the Science Guy, and even a couple of references—to Geraldo Rivera's 1986 TV special about Al Capone's secret vault, and Clarence the angel in It's A Wonderful Life—that count as callbacks to previous episodes. When Cas doesn't get the one about Clarence, Meg chides him: "Would it kill you to watch a movie or read a book?" (He replies that seeing a movie wouldn't harm him, but it would depend on which book.) The thing is, given the way these characters live, it's hard to understand how any of them manage to keep up with anything, which is why it's always seemed so plausible that Dean's taste in music appears to have calcified about three years before he was born.
- Regarding pop-culture references: In the last scene, we have a two-fer, when Dean, telling Sam that he'll be there for him, sort-of quotes The Lord Of The Rings, and the defensively says that this is nothing to be shamed about, so long as he's comparing himself to "the Rudy hobbit." Then he turns up the radio and the Supertramp song that lends this episode its title fills the car. Honestly, I would think Dean would be more likely to feel embarrassment over having a soft spot for Supertramp than knowing about a good old Ray Harryhausen-style sword-fights-with-monsters epic like the movie version of The Lord Of The Rings. (That said, the actual use of the song, with it abruptly disappearing from the soundtrack as the bus Cas is riding into the unknown vanishes from our sight line, is quite well done.)
- When Meg and Cas are flirting, with all the heavy lifting being done on her side of the fence, she asks him if he's fully recovered his memory, and if so, if he can recall some of the sweet times they enjoyed. "If you're referring to the pizza man," says Cas, "yes, I remember the pizza man. And it's a good memory." I choose to believe this means that, at some point when he and Meg were on the lam, Cas had a one-night stand with Frank Furillo.

Global demand for imported soybeans may be bigger than previously projected as leading world buyer China accelerates purchases, Oil World said.
China may buy 70.7 million metric tons of soybeans in the 2013-14 season through September, above April's 70.5 million-ton estimate and about 18 percent more than the prior year, the researcher said in an e-mailed report. Shipments to China were 6.5 million tons in April, according to customs data, and buying this month may be as much as a record 7.4 million tons, it said.
"World import demand is much higher than expected," Hamburg-based Oil World said. "Despite numerous reports about Chinese cancellations during the past couple of weeks, actual shipments of soybeans to China were still unusually large from South America."
Soybean futures on the Chicago Board of Trade, the global benchmark, rose 14 percent this year as U.S. stockpiles tightened amid increasing demand from China. Inventories in the U.S., the leading world grower of the oilseed, may drop to a 10- year low of 130 million bushels by the end of the 2013-14 season, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said May 9.
Global imports of soybeans rose to 12.9 million tons in April from 11.2 million tons a year earlier, Oil World said. Brazil's shipments to China climbed to 5.9 million tons from 5.6 million in April 2013. Paraguay, which sent no soybeans to China last month, probably will step up exports later this year after a recent visit by a Chinese delegation, according to the report.
Russia, Egypt
Soybean shipments to the European Union may be bigger than expected, and countries including Russia, Egypt, Indonesia and South Korea also boosted purchases recently, Oil World said. EU imports from the top-five shipping countries gained by about a third to 2.16 million tons in April, it said. U.S. soybean imports in 2013-14 may total 2.3 million tons, compared with 1 million last season, according to the report.
Oil World raised crop forecasts for some South American countries, including leading global exporter Brazil. Farmers in the nation may gather 87 million tons, while crops will total 55 million tons in Argentina and 3.1 million tons in Uruguay, it said. The combined total is up 1.9 million tons from two weeks ago, and overall South American output may climb to a record 156.3 million tons, according to the report.

Funeral services held for 4 family members killed in Maine house fire
BANGOR, Maine (AP) � Friends and family are gathering in Bangor for the funeral of a Maine man and his three children who died in a fire at their Orrington home.
Funeral services are being held Sunday afternoon at a Bangor funeral home for 30-year-old Benjamin Johnson III and his children, 4-year-old Ryan, 8-year-old Leslie and 9-year-old Ben. They died in a pre-dawn fire last Saturday that was started by empty cardboard boxes placed too close to a wood stove.
Christine Johnson, Johnson's wife and the children's mother, survived the fire.
Hundreds of people attended Saturday's memorial gathering at Hollywood Casino in Bangor, where Johnson worked, and a wake later in the afternoon at the funeral home.

It cited a same titled October 2007 Haaretz editorial, calling for "debate about Israel's control over the lives of Palestinians deprived of civil rights," saying its democracy is flawed for denying Arab Israelis equality with Jews.
In his December 10 op-ed titled titled, "The farce of a secular and democratic Jewish state," Haaretz writer Gideon Levy was equally critical, saying:
"The debate over the conversion bill is deceptive." The IDF bill aims to prevent municipal marriage clerks from refusing to register marriages of people converted during military service. An estimated 2,500 occur annually, mostly among former Soviet Union immigrants. Orthodox parties, like Shas, want the Sephardic chief rabbi to have sole conversion authority. Secular ones want bill's language left unchanged.
Levy believes the debate masks greater issues, fundamental ones "that define our society and state." Whether military or civilian rabbis decide who is Jewish is a distraction. "Ten times more significant is....whether (we're) living in the only country on earth where clerics determine the right to citizenship. No less important (is the illusion that Israel) is a secular and democratic state."
Imagine debates over whether to rent apartments to Arabs. What about equal rights, democratic freedoms, civil liberties and justice. Choosing who's superior, who's inferior, who gets rights and who doesn't exposes Israel's real agenda, a theocratic-run Jewish state under religious law, deciding who belongs and who doesn't, enforced by hardline officials and MKs.
"It's time to admit that this approach can only be called racist," based on "the blood flowing through (one's) veins....determin(ing) your status....Sixty-two years after (Israel's) establishment, (it's time to) change this reality."
It's time for "normalcy, for joining the enlightened world, (and changing) distorted reality." Otherwise, it's ludicrous calling Israel "a liberal and modern state" when growing despotism better defines it. Non-Jews have experienced it for decades, under a repressive occupation, and Israeli Arabs treated like second class citizens.
On December 17, the Adalah Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel said a new report lists 20 new Knesset laws and draft laws that discriminate against Arab minorities, threatening their rights as citizens. In some cases, Occupied Palestinian rights are also violated.
For example, a recently proposed Knesset "Bill for Protecting the Values of the State of Israel (Amendment Legislation) 2009 requires organizations pledge loyalty to Israel as "Jewish and democratic." In a November 4 press release, Adalah said the bill:
"violates the right of freedom of association and freedom of expression of all Arab organizations in Israel, which seek through democratic means to change the political, legal and social status in Israel. It asks those organizations to express their loyalty to the Jewish state and therefore it is not just a discriminatory law but one that seeks to oppress the rights of the Arab minority."
It also limits and damages Arab organizations' work, "put(ting) them under ultra-nationalist, ideological interrogation and investigation, and (questioning) every serious action" they take. The bill enforces a Jewish world view, delegitimizing and perhaps criminalizing organizations not endorsing it. This and other bills mirror 1920s Italy and 1930s Germany where democracy became fascism, including racist laws, persecution and extermination.
Institutionalizing Apartheid in Israel
On October 29, Haaretz writer Amnon Be'eri-Sulitzeanu headlined, "Segregation of Jews and Arabs in 2010 Israel is almost absolute," saying:
The Knesset's "Amendment to the Cooperative Associations Bill" bypasses High Court rulings in favor of instituting apartheid law.
Ten years ago, Israel's Supreme Court "ordered the town of Katzir to accept the family of Adel and Iman Kaadan, Arab citizens of Israel, as members of the community. Seven years later," the Court again ruled against the Rakefet Galilee village. Like Katzir, it's Jewish, ordered not to discriminate against Arab citizens. The Knesset amendment, however, lets communal village acceptance committees limit residency exclusively to Jews, rejecting families that "are incompatible with the social-cultural fabric of our community, and where there are grounds to assume that they will disrupt the fabric."
In other words, non-Jews are barred to let communities preserve Jewish traditions. Earlier, anticipating the Knesset action, communities like Yuvalim and Manof, in the Misgav area, mandated residence based on declaring allegiance to the Zionist vision. In Mitzpe Aviv, applicants must openly identify with Zionist values and the notion of Israel as a Jewish, democratic state.
In addition, in Upper Nazareth, Safed and Carmiel, senior municipal officials call for dispossessing Arabs or preventing their integration into the communities.
As a result, "Segregation of Jews and Arabs in Israel in 2010 is almost complete." Resident Jews take it for granted. Visitors, however, can't "believe their eyes: segregated education, segregated businesses, separate entertainment venues, different languages, separate political parties, (and) segregated housing..contribut(ing) to the growing mutual alienation of Jews and Arabs." In other words, Jim Crow in the extreme, including violence and intimidation.
To Israel's shame, segregation remains de jure, legislated apartheid expected to pass its final version and become official in the weeks ahead. It already is in practice despite High Court rulings prohibiting the practice. The racist Knesset and Netanyahu government pay no attention, doing what they please with or without legal right.
Under present and past governments, core Judaization policy is a dagger against minority Arab rights, dispossessing or prohibiting them from land Israel wants exclusively for Jews. Cooperative associations limited to 500 families effectively enforce this policy, limiting Arab citizens to shrinking areas, comprising about 2.5% of Israel. Eventually it may all be lost for total Judaization. In addition, all valued West Bank and East Jerusalem land may be seized, confining Palestinians to resource-poor, cantonized scrub lands.
On December 16, Haaretz writers Jack Khoury and Jonathan Lis headlined, "Israeli towns continue to rewrite bylaws to keep Arabs out," saying:
Circumventing Knesset and High Court actions, Jewish "communities are....rewriting admission regulations in order to 'preserve their Jewish and Zionist character.' " The idea, of course, is to prohibit Arabs and other unwanted residents.
A Misgav Regional Council proposal describes the "multigenerational and variegated communal life that upholds Zionist values and seeks to maintain Israel as a Jewish and democratic state in the spirit of (Israel's 1948) Declaration of Independence."
The document also mentions community values "based on tolerance, human dignity and reciprocal relations among members, who pursue a communal lifestyle in an independent, democratic and voluntary manner." Those values, however, are racist, excluding anyone not Jewish, putting a lie to sham language without meaning.
On December 26, Israel's High Court will decide whether Ahmed and Fatin Zbeidat may live in the Rakafet communal settlement, barring Arabs from residency. As in the past, however, Jewish communities may bypass Court rulings, a testimony to Israel's institutionalized racism.
Rabbis Endorsing Racism
Racist rabbis affirm it, including leading ones wanting renting homes to Arabs prohibited. Dozens of municipal chief rabbis endorsed a religious ruling to do so, claiming Israel belongs to Jews, not goyim, especially Arabs.
Beit El settlement's Rabbi Shlomo Aviner said, "We don't need to help Arabs set down roots in Israel." According to Rabbi Yosef Scheinen, head of Ashdod's Yeshiva, "Racism originated in the Torah. The land of Israel is designated for the people of Israel. This is what Holy One Blessed Be he intended, and that is what the (sage) Rashi interpreted." God intended Israel for Jews, he added, a notion only bigoted hatemonger ones endorse. Doing so should get them suspended, denounced and prohibited from distorting true Jewish dogma, teaching love, not hate, like Islam.
No shred of evidence exists that Torah or Talmudic doctrine sanction racism or any other form of hate. Even Haifa's Mayor Yonah Yahav was outraged, calling the ruling a "desecration of God's name." Nazareth Mayor Ramiz Jaraisy said, "We are all children of the land. Both (sides) must search for common ground and not bring out escalation." The rabbis, however, urged "neighbors and acquaintances (of Jews who rent or sell to Arabs to) distance themselves (from them), refrain from doing business with (them), deny (them) the right to read from the Torah, and (ostracize them) until (they retract) this harmful deed."
Racist rabbis offer more proof of Israel's sham democracy. Most disturbing, however, is the extremist Netanyahu government, support or no dissent from opposition leaders, and Israel's most right-wing ever Knesset, flouting democratic principles one law or edict at a time. It endorses, but hasn't yet passed, measures like Israel's Law of Citizenship amendment, requiring non-Jews wanting it to pledge loyalty to "the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state."
On October 10, Netanyahu's cabinet approved it (22 - 8) for new non-Jewish citizens. He, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, other Knesset hard-liners, and MK religious zealots support it.
The Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) expressed concern about increasing anti-democratic Knesset measures proposed or passed. They're "gaining momentum and, regrettably" the new session may be worse, though at times, language in original submissions is softened.
The last session was notably anti-democratic. If this one's no different, enormous damage will be done. Apparently it's Israel's chosen course, harming Arabs most of all.

Assistant shift manager also arrested
Assistant shift manager also arrested
A Burger King employee in Epping sold drugs from the drive-through window, police said.
Garrett Norris, 20, of Raymond, and assistant shift manager Meagan Dearborn, 19, of Raymond, were arrested in an undercover police operation.
Police said an undercover officer asked if "Nasty Boy," Norris' nickname, was working. That was confirmed to the officer, who then placed an order for "extra crispy" fries, which was a code for purchasing marijuana.
Norris put marijuana into a Burger King coffee cup separate from the food order, police said.
Norris was charged with sale of a controlled drug and possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute.
Dearborn was charged with conspiracy to distribute drugs and unlawful possession of alcohol.
Both will be arraigned Feb. 22.

I'm gearing up to run a Rappan Athuk campaign using the S&W version . It's written for the Complete rule set, but it could probably be run with WB or Core with a little work.
Has anyone out there run this for S&W? Which rule set did you use? Any advice?

Kauai Coffee Company Privacy Policy
The privacy of personal information of the users of an MZB website is important to MZB. This Privacy Policy (this "Policy") describes the type of information that may be collected about website users; how that information is used; how MZB protects that information; and what choices website users have on how that information is used.
1.This Policy covers the following types of information:
This Policy covers MZB's treatment of personally identifiable information that MZB collects when you are on an MZB website and when you use MZB's services or click on MZB's online advertisements on third-party websites to access an MZB website. Information collection and use will be handled in the manner set forth in this Policy. This Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that MZB does not own or control or of people that MZB does not employ or manage.
1.Information we collect from MZB website visitors: Visitors to MZB websites can access the website's home page, and browse some areas of the website, without disclosing any personally identifiable information. We do track information provided to us by your browser, including the website you came from (known as the "referring URL"), any MZB online advertisements located on third-party websites that you may have clicked on to access one of the MZB websites, the type of browser you use, the time and date of access, and other information that does not personally identify you. On some of our websites, you must register (see below) to access portions of the website. In addition, we gather information about you that is automatically collected by our Web server, such as your IP address and domain name. MZB may use Web server and browser information to individually customize its offerings and presentations if you submit your personal information.
2.Information we collect when you register: Visitors registering for services on our websites are asked to provide identifying information such as their name, gender and contact information. On the registration screen, we label which information is required for registration and which information is optional and may be given at your discretion. MZB websites request and obtain visitors' express consent before collecting any personally identifiable information which they agree to provide.
3.Information from outside sources: Where visitors to an MZB website proceed, following registration, to purchase our products, we ask them for additional information, such as credit card information. Where necessary (for example, to process an order for a purchase), our websites may contact financial or credit organizations to confirm customer credit card information. From time to time we also may augment our websites' user databases with information legally obtained from third parties. Some of this information may be personally identifiable. We do this to better target our information offerings and promotional campaigns and to provide pertinent offers in which we think you would be interested.Other information:
- We may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us through responses to surveys, search functions, questionnaires, feedback, forms and the like.
- We may ask you to provide additional information such as your e-mail address if you want to obtain additional services or information or to resolve complaints or concerns.
3.MZB will take reasonable steps to safeguard any information you share with us. MZB stores the information you provide about yourself in a database in order to provide you with the information you request. The information is stored for the lifetime of the database unless you request that it be removed.
4.MZB will limit the collection and use of your information that MZB requires to deliver superior services to you. These services may include advising you about MZB's products, newsletters, services and other opportunities.
5.No MZB website is intended or designed to attract children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable data from website visitors under the age of 13.
6.MZB will permit only authorized employees, consultants, third-party vendors or other agents who are trained in the proper handling of customer information to have access to that information. Employees who violate any of the provisions of this Policy will be subject to MZB's normal disciplinary process.
7.Except as described above, MZB will not otherwise use or disclose any of your personally identifiable information except to the extent reasonably necessary: (i) to correct technical problems and malfunctions, to technically process your information and to determine the effectiveness of our projects; (ii) to protect the security and integrity of our websites; (iii) to protect our rights and property and the rights and property of others; (iv) to take precautions against liability; (v) to the extent required by law or to respond to judicial process; or (vi) to enforcement agencies or for an investigation on a matter related to public safety, as applicable.
8.Cookies, log files and pixel-tags (Web beacons) are technologies used by the MZB websites to identify a user as the user moves through an MZB website or as the user clicks on an MZB online advertisement located on a third-party website. Your browser allows us to place some information (session-based IDs and/or persistent cookies) on your computer's hard drive that identifies the computer you are using. We may use cookies to personalize our websites and to track your usage across other MZB websites. Your Web browser can be set to allow you to control whether you will accept cookies, reject cookies or to notify you each time a cookie is sent to you. If your browser is set to reject cookies, websites that are cookie-enabled will not recognize you when you return to the website, and some website functionality may be lost. The "Help" section of your browser will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting cookies. On occasion, we contract with third parties to place cookies on your computer's hard drive. Although cookies do not normally contain personally identifiable information, if you have provided us with information about you, we may associate your registration information with cookies or other tracking utilities our website places on your computer's hard drive. Associating a cookie with your registration data allows us to offer increased personalization and functionality. Without cookies, this functionality would not be possible. Some of our business partners also may use cookies on our websites (for example, links to their websites). We do not want our business partners to use cookies to track our website users' activities once they leave our websites. However, we may not have total control over how our business partners use cookies on our websites. In addition, we may use other tracking systems like pixel-tags, which sometimes are called "Web beacons" and which are similar in function to a cookie. Because of their insignificant size, pixel-tags are not visible, although they may be used to pass certain information to our servers to personalize our websites and to track your usage across other MZB websites and third-party websites where MZB advertisements are located. In addition, we also may use pixel-tags in our HTML based e-mails.
9.As a resource to its website visitors, MZB may provide links to other websites. Website users should carefully review the privacy policies and practices of those websites, as MZB cannot control or be responsible for their privacy practices.
10.At any time, you can contact MZB to remove your name from our marketing list.
11.For the purpose of determining the effectiveness of our websites and other online marketing programs, MZB may hire certain third-party organizations that collect, analyze and report on non-personally identifiable data or provide website and/or program support services. To the extent possible, MZB will require these organizations to conform to this Policy.
12.MZB may share certain kinds of information with third parties as described below:
- Companies and people who work for or provide services to MZB: MZB contracts with other companies and individuals to help MZB provide services. For example, MZB may host some of its websites on another company's computers or work with companies to remove repetitive information from customer lists, analyze data, provide marketing assistance and provide customer service. In order to perform their jobs, these other companies may have limited access to some of the personal information MZB maintains about its websites' users. Other companies may collect information on our behalf through their websites. This occasionally incorporates the use of frames on the website that will not show the URL you are visiting in the browser address window. We exercise our best efforts to require such companies to comply with the terms of this Policy, to limit their access to and use of any personal information to the minimum necessary to perform their obligations and not to use the information to which they may have access for purposes other than fulfilling their responsibilities to us.
- Promotional and informational offers: Sometimes MZB sends offers to selected groups of customers. To accomplish this, MZB may use third parties working on its behalf. MZB provides a variety of mechanisms for you to tell us you do not want to receive such promotional or informational offers. For example, MZB may provide an opt-in box for its websites' users to receive information that is sent by a third-party fulfillment house. You can elect not to receive promotional or informational material from us by following the instructions to opt-out as mentioned or included in each of the programs that MZB sends to you.
- Legal requirements: MZB may release account and other personal information when MZB believes that its release is required to comply with legal regulations, rules or local ordinances.
By using this website and the contents and services available to you on this website, you consent to MZB's collection and use of your information as described in this Policy. MZB will continuously assess its practices to ensure that your privacy is respected. MZB may amend this Policy from time to time. If MZB makes a substantial change in the way MZB uses your personal information, MZB will post a prominent announcement about that change on its websites.

Tarniesha Brown; Florida's Pride
"Modeling is my passion and I plan on leaving an everlasting impression to this industry,� she says.
[Our Model Of The Day]
Where She's From: Tarniesha Nicole Brown, a Libra, was bon October 21, 1984 and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the eldest of four siblings. "The most important things I learned from my parents; never accept any less than I deserve, aim high, independence and believing in myself," she tells The Black Star News.
Where She's At: Tarniesha graduated from Boyd H. Anderson in 2003 and plans to resume college next year for EMT/Paramedic and Nursing. "I feel I was put on this earth to make a difference and helping others is what I believe to be my true purpose," she says. "I have been modeling since March 2007. I decided to take it seriously after shooting with an excellent photographer. The feedback I received was crazy; full of support and positive."
She's currently in the early stages of her career, looking for strong and established representation. "Modeling is my passion and I plan on leaving an everlasting impression to this industry," she says. "I am ready to break the mold. I want it all—fashion shows, calendars, commercials, print work, and launching my website just to name a few. I plan to model for as long as I can."
"I feel it's important to combine brainpower and beauty because that's what makes an individual unique," she continues. "I remember my mom telling me when I was younger that 'people will tell you you're beautiful. You can look in the mirror and tell yourself that. But a woman with knowledge and drive is stronger than most.' Combining beauty and brains is power that no one can take from you."
So how does this aspiring young model prepare to step out?
"I just started loving Baby Phat. The clothing line makes you feel sexy and like a woman. You'll probably catch me in nice fitted stretch jeans, I love being comfortable. I wear Nivea and Palmers Coco Butter lotion. My favorite perfume is Liz Claiborne Spark Seduction or anything that smells of Vanilla."
Tarniesha's Words Of Wisdom: "Learn to accept the flaws you possess, they may turn out to be your gifts to this world."
Tarniesha's Secrets To Success: "People can only do to you what you allow; stay positive and pray for strength, peace of mind, body and spirit."
Tarniesha's Favorite Three Movies: "The Color Purple, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Bad Boys."
Leaders That Have Most Inspired Tarniesha: "Halle Berry, Tyra Banks and Oprah Winfrey."
Tarniesha Favorite Entertainers: "Beyonce, India Arie, Ne-yo, Peabo Bryson and Christina Aguilera."
A Short Tarniesha Story: "I'm a very laid-back individual with an all around personality. I love learning new things. I won't knock it until I try it. R&B is my favorite preference of music. I tend to be indoors more than out. Egyptian art amazes me. I'm so drawn to its beauty. I write poetry; I feel it's an excellent way to express yourself and it helps relieve a lot of stress. I'm a big kid at heart Elmo is the bomb. I consider myself to be extremely hard working and focused on the goals I set for myself. I'm very outspoken, bold, humble, and a confident woman. I've been through so much already to be so young, and I don't regret any of my mistakes. Otherwise I wouldn't be the woman I am today: s-t-r-o-n-g."
