As I said yesterday, I should not be talking about the case, and I won't, but I will continue with the overview of the process, and point out a few things I found interesting. Not to spoil all the suspense, but I was not selected for the jury in the trial, however, that does, I believe mean I can say that the charges included murder and drug distribution. On a personal level, I'm relieved: it would have been a long, ugly case featuring some very unpleasant subjects. On a professional level, though, I'm very disappointed: what a wealth of characters and stories I'm missing out on!
My group from yesterday was actually the second set of prospective jurors for this case, another group had been through the process earlier in the week. Enough people had been eliminated from the group that the judge believed there wouldn't be enough jurors, so my group was added to the pool. The combined group was almost 60 people.
As I explained yesterday, we had to fill out a brief survey about things that might affect our suitability as jurors for the case. For example, it asked if we had ever been or knew somebody who had been a victim, witness, or defendant in a criminal matter; if we knew anybody who worked in a field related to the legal or justice systems; or if we had any opinions about the legal system that would prevent us from reaching an unbiased decision.
A small group of the pool of jurors is named – the group is randomly sorted by computer – and questioned, first by the judge, and then by the two attorneys.
The judge's questions are mostly standardized. He followed up on the survey answers; for example, he asked people who had been involved in criminal matters to explain the circumstances and their role, and then asked them if they believed there was any reason that their experience would prevent them from "…listening to the evidence presented in this case, make your decision based only on the evidence in this case, and follow the legal instructions I will give". (I'm quoting that statement from memory, so I may have it slightly wrong, but I did hear it quite a few times today, so it should be pretty close. There was a lot of formulaic text used; lawyers like to keep things consistent, much like QA people.) In several cases where it was clear that the jurors would find it very difficult to be impartial, the judge excused them. I was not surprised at the number of people who had family members involved with drugs, but I was surprised at how many had experiences related to murder.
Unlike the judge, the lawyers asked questions that were not formulaic – in some cases, quite far from formula. Where the judge was gathering background, the lawyers were asking questions intended to explore the jurors' emotions and motivations. One lawyer asked several people how they decide if someone is telling the truth. Both lawyers asked questions regarding jurors' understanding of the concept of "reasonable doubt" and how they felt about it. I was particularly amused by one of the lawyers referring to a recent survey that found that 4% of Americans believe "shape-shifting reptilian people control our world by taking on human form and gaining political power" as part of his questioning a juror about reasonable doubt.
After each group of jurors were questioned, the judge and the lawyers conferred, then the lawyers exercised their "peremptory challenges": selecting jurors they did not want on the jury; they do not state a reason. Here again, a formula is used: the lawyer says "The People request [or the Defense requests] that you thank and excuse juror number X, Y". The judge then responded with his own formula: "X, thank you for your service. You are excused."
Once the 12 jurors had been selected, the process changed a little to select three alternates. The alternates sit as part of the jury, and listen to the jury debate, but only participate if original members of the jury are excused. I found it interesting that if an alternate is needed, one of the three will be chosen at random, rather than taking them in the order selected. To select the alternates, a group of three people from the pool was interviewed; the judge and the lawyers then conferred and one of the three was chosen. The other two were not carried over to the next group, instead they were excused. The same process was repeated for the second and third alternates.
With all 15 selections made, the rest of us were then excused. No, I didn't make it into the hot seat for an interview. About a quarter of the group that started the day got to watch the whole show and go home without ever saying anything more than "Good morning".
For those of you who were expecting my usual brand of snarkiness, my apologies: I just didn't find much to be snarky about. But I hope you've enjoyed this little peek into the American legal system, and I'll see what I can do about bringing back the snark next week.

Seven years have passed since full-back Stuart Smith left Peterhead for Formartine.
But the 28 year old has no regrets over his decision to swap the SPFL for the Highland League.
Smith was back at Balmoor last weekend, helping his team win the Aberdeenshire Cup at the expense of Cove Rangers.
It was just a second honour for the Pitmedden-based club, now bossed by Paul Lawson, following their capture of the same trophy in 2013 under the stewardship of former Blue Toon manager Steve Paterson.
Smith said: "Saturday was the first time I have actually played at Balmoor since I left Peterhead."
"I have got a lot of happy memories with the Blue Toon and some not so great memories as well."
"But even though results were not the best, I did really enjoy my time with the club and I would not have picked another venue in this area to win the Aberdeenshire Cup."
Smith continued: "To be honest, I thought I would have stayed at Peterhead a bit longer."
"But I spoke with Steve Paterson at the time and I felt it was an exciting opportunity to go to Formartine."
"I joined to try and win trophies because at Peterhead it is difficult to win silverware, although they did really well to win League 2 a few years ago."
The manager in charge during Smith's time at Peterhead was the now Cove boss John Sheran.
Smith was the one smiling at full time on Saturday, with Sheran left to mull over his side's disappointing 1-0 defeat.
The defender added: "Thinking back, yeah it was John who was my manager and it is hard to believe it was seven years ago."
"It is strange how things work out but these things happen and I don't have regrets about my decision."
"Of course, I would have liked to have won more trophies with Formartine but hopefully we can kick on from winning the Aberdeenshire Cup and get more in the bag in the not too distant future."

A US navy plane searching for a missing Argentinean submarine on Tuesday detected an object on the ocean floor, local media and South China Morning Post (Hong Kong) reported.
The plane's radar had discovered an area of heat around 800 metres below the surface of the southern Atlantic, leading rescuers to believe it could be the missing ARA San Juan, the radio station Mitre and the newspaper Clarin reported.
A mini submarine had been sent to the spot, 300km east of the Patagonian harbour Puerto Madryn, to identify the object, they reported. Argentina's Ministry of Defence refused to confirm the report.
The German-made submarine, with 44 crew members on board, went missing six days ago. It has a seven-day supply of oxygen.
The regional hospital in the city of Comodoro Rivadavia has been ordered to prepare for possible casualties, with all operations cancelled and four theatres freed up.
The search operation, which has 13 planes and 17 boats at its disposal, is now at a "critical phase," according to the Argentinean navy.
"Our concerns about the oxygen reserves on board are growing," navy spokesman Enrique Balbi said late Tuesday.
The search is the largest manoeuvre in the southern Atlantic since the Falklands War of 1982.
Hopes had been raised and dashed earlier after the sighting of a lifeboat and flares proved to be false alarms, as did a noise detected coming from the ocean.
Family members of the crew who are gathered at the Mar del Plata naval base are increasingly distressed, navy psychologist Victor Hugo Duga said Tuesday. "The state of mind is very low," he said.
He said the successive hopes of signs of life and the consequent disappointments had caused "very serious moments."
Maria Morales, the mother of one of the crew members, said she preferred to be at the naval base to being at home. "Sometimes when we leave from here we get depressed, but at the base we are together and support each other," she told the Argentinian broadcaster TN.
Jorge Villarreal, father of another crew member, was more optimistic than most. "My faith is intact, my optimism remains the same. I will not leave from here until they return," he said.
In its last contact with its naval base last Wednesday, the submarine had given word of a battery glitch, Captain Gabriel Galeazzi, another navy spokesman, said.
The crew was then ordered to take the shortest route to its home port of Mar del Plata, 400km south of Buenos Aires, Galeazzi said.
The navy has avoided associating the mechanical problem with the disappearance of the vessel and said it had sufficient backup machinery.
According to the Argentinean Defense Ministry, 10 countries have offered assistance.

When President Kalam passed away on July 27th 2015, I mourned along with the entire nation. A man of extraordinary vision, his belief in the inter connectedness between freedom and self dignity / respect resonated deeply. It is he who had said "If we are not free, no one will respect us ".
Few days back, I remembered these words of President Kalam in a very strange scenario. I was in a group of women of varied ages. The common factor amongst all the women was that their husbands are quite highly placed in society and hold responsible jobs. Majority of the women are not financially independent. All of them are literate, some even holding Bachelors' & Masters' degrees. I shall refrain from calling them 'educated'.
One of the women had not been keeping well for sometime and had certain gynecological complications. Conversation centered around her health issues and a doctor amongst them was asked to opine whether the line of treatment being followed was correct.
A questions that was asked of her was 'Whether you have had a MTP ( Medically Terminated Pregnancy) done ever ?".
I was aghast at the answer, the attitude that went with it and the reaction of the other women. 'Around 4 MTP's' was the answer. It was said with a little titter and surprisingly, accompanied with a coquettish look. The group also tittered and voiced their camaraderie of such action and attitude.
Questions raced through my mind. What prompted such action ? The preference for a male child ? Possibly, to some extent. Or was it, even a more sinister reason, because the women did not have a voice ? That voice which gives them the right to decide what and how their bodies are being used ? Did not they, despite their degrees and position in society, have this basic freedom ? And what about their husbands ? Did they not love their wives ? More importantly, did they not respect their wives ? So Ernest Hemingway says "Love is that dirty aborting horror that you took me to. Love is my insides all messed up. It's half catheters and half whirling douches. I know about love. Love always hangs up behind the bathroom door. It smells like lysol. To hell with love. Love is making me happy and then going off to sleep with your mouth open while I lie awake all night afraid to say my prayers even because I know I have no right to anymore. Love is all the dirty little tricks you taught me that you probably got out of some book. All right. I'm through with you and I'm through with love".
Let me state that I am not against abortion and do not support the religious argument behind anti-abortion . I do not think it to be a sin in circumstances like rape, teenage pregnancy, foetal disorders etc. For that matter, even in matters of genuine contraceptive failure to an extent. I am not a pro-life movement hardliner.
But what I do think is a sin and completely degrading to human life, when MTP is used as a family planning measure or happens because of callousness. It is doubly appalling when a woman titters about it to show how desirable she is or maybe how virile her husband is ? I wanted desperately to tell the group of women that their cowardice has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. I did, In the words of Mother Teresa; " If a mother can kill her own child – what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me – there is nothing between ".
Perhaps, I speak very strongly on this. I will ,however, not apologize. I am really not a bra-burning feminist too! I love my Victoria's Secret lingerie. But one should not keep silent about anything that degrades dignity. That is what I have learned from Martin Luther King Jr : "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter".
Women are 'individuals'. Yes, life is a tad difficult for them because our society is patriarchal. The tendency to objectify and victimize women runs horribly strong. But, it is President Kalam, who said "Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person"

Today marks the last day of my life as a student at TARC. 2 years in Penang and 2 years in KL. That's why although im deadfish tired now, i will still blog before the day end.
Something that our course has been preparing for the whole semester. The preparation that gets everyone scuttling around campus looking for informations. Going over to the library in throngs and brainstorming like there's no tomorrow.
Finally, the day has come where we would be judge by others. Nervous, of course we are. Although i'm not one of the presenter, but im happy that my group got selected into the final 3. My task on that day was simple, bau sua bau hai – usherette, supposedvideographer, photographer, almost a presenter, and chatting with others, hehee
On that day itself, everyone was required to dress formally. I dressed according to what i think as formal enough to work in an office. HEHEHE. Sorry la, i really look stupid if i wear my only collar shirt in KL. Since everyone is dressed to the nine, of course we took like tons of photos. BUT decently..since these are decent people.
I'm very happy that my group got 2nd placing. I'm actually happy with whatever placing we get because although it has been a hellish experience, going through all those stupid questionnaires. Getting weird looks from our sample population when we ask repetitive questions. Counting all the data until i become cock-eyed.
At times like this, we grew closer to each other. Know each other a little more. A little better. Tolerating each other maddening temper and behaviour when deadline draw closer by each day.
I really want to take this opportunity to thank Seow Yee and KaiZen for doing alot for this assignment. Putting in more effort that are supposed to be beared equally. Thank You for being so considerate. and being such a perfectionist, to kaizen…spotting out careless mistakes in our work after doing yours. -___-
To my roommate Sarah of a little more than a year, thanks for bearing with me when i switch on the lights doing last minute work in the minute while you try to sleep. hehe…I know it's a nuisance.
The day of our presentation might very well be the last day we gather together. Next will be on the 3rd of February where most people will come in a daze to sit for exam and then go home to study/sleep until 7th of February again.
Time passes us very fast. With this, we had studied together for 12months. Through sick, psychotic lecturers and through sweet, pleasant lecturers, we had stick together. Waking up at 6 or 7 in the morning to attend classes or staying back until 8pm to attend MOFS we have been through it all together.
Going to mamak under the LRT track will remains in our memories as i do not think we have the time to go there anymore for the cheapest roti telur.
At the end of the day, it doesnt matter who emerge as the champion of the workshop. We all are champions as we had all made it till This Very Day.
It's been my pleasure, moving to KL, knowing you bunch of people, experiencing independent life, seeing different things in life. Knowing people from other places other than Kulim, Penang, Butterworth or Permatang Pauh for once.
Mischevious group of people. Pleasant, fun and nice. Sleeping in class during Law in year 1 was a happy thing. hAHAHAHA Whatmore with our course rep…sometimes funny thing does happen in our class..Like asking for kisses as gratitude instead of thanks from our male counterpart..HAHAHAHA Joking ler..inside joke!!
Whatever that start must come to an end, even good things. It's good that we end it in such a happy manner.
We shall rullllleeee Redbox (or issit Green box now) on the 7th of February againnnnn!!
And then everyone will part their ways pursueing their future. Wishing to see you people at the airport in june again. I hope i can go myself of course.. Till we meet again, happy life to everyone.
Friends are like stars, you might not see them each day, but you know they are always there.

The insurance companies have acted after the stock market plunges of recent weeks in the latest evidence that the contagion in the City has spread to the 'real economy'.
It means millions of prudent people, who want to access their nest eggs to stave off the effects of the credit crunch, will now have to leave their money invested - or lose an average £4,000.
The introduction of controversial exit fees by Norwich Union, Friends Provident and Scottish Widows yesterday will hit most of their with-profits policies, from endowments to pensions and especially with-profits bonds.
The three insurers say that more than 2 million customers between them will immediately be affected. Experts say that if all insurance companies follow suit, up to 8 million savers will be hit.
Vince Cable, the Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman, said: "The stock market crash is no longer a matter just for newspaper headlines and City investors.
"It is starting to hit home with millions of small, individual investors, many of whom were the most prudent savers."
With-profits policies were a very popular form of investment, sold aggressively in the 1980s and 1990s by independent financial advisors. They were meant to "smooth" a customers' investments through good years and bad. Though much of their money was invested in stocks and shares and commercial property, many savers believed they were shielded from the ups and downs of the stock market.
However, in the small print of the policies there was a clause that explained the provider could introduce a "market value reduction" at any point. This immediately cuts the value of the investment for a certain amount of time, and hits anyone wanting to cash in their policies.
The cuts introduced yesterday vary from 22 per cent on some Norwich Union policies to 5 per cent on some Friends Provident policies. The average cut is about 15 per cent. This would immediately cut £3,750 off the value of a £25,000 with profits saving – the average size of a policy.
Mick McAteer, a leading personal finance campaigner and head of the charity Financial Inclusion, said the exit penalties meant insurance companies were in effect forcing their customers to stay "locked into" their policies.
"What we are seeing here is the contagion of the banking system spreading to the insurance sector. This move is, in effect, stopping a run on their policies by customers."
The insurance companies insist their balance sheets are in good health – unlike the banks – but the introduction of "market value reductions" will stop the majority of their customers withdrawing their money, which in turn will help the providers weather the economic downturn.
The worst hit customers will be those that have with-profits bonds – a form of saving account that usually has no "maturity date". Savers can cash them in at any stage.
Many customers will not be hit directly, because they have with-profits pensions. The "market value reductions" do not come into force when you retire. Experts said customers with endowment policies should not be too badly hit because most of these were taken out before the early-1990s – the date after which the market value reductions mostly take effect.
Also, most customers of endowment policies cash in their fund at a set date, which means they are unlikely to be hit by the exit penalties.
However, Mr McAteer warned the exit fees would stop millions of customers moving their policies if they were unhappy with their provider. "It robs you of choice," he said.
The market value reductions should, in theory, only be temporary. However, when they were first introduced by the industry after the stock market falls of 2001 to 2003, they usually stayed in place for at least four years.
The re-emergence of them has once again led to calls for the whole of the with-profits industry to be looked at once again.
The Treasury Select Committee has previously criticised the with-profits industry. John McFall, Labour MP and the chairman of the Treasury Select Committee, said there needed to be more transparency: "With-profits policies can not be exercised without some form of mystery. People will realise another fog has descended on them after the announcements by these insurance companies."
Many within the insurance industry believe with-profits policies have damaged the entire savings industry.
Michelle Cracknell, a director of Skandia, the biggest UK distributor of mutual funds, said: "The re-emergence of MVRs yet again displays the worst of the with-profits industry. Most customers probably believed they were protected against market forces when they put their money into with-profits. To discover suddenly that the protection of with-profits is nothing but smoke and mirrors does nothing to build trust and could be harmful to the wider long-term savings industry."
Andy Cowan, the head of private clients at the independent financial advisor Towry Law, said: "This is an appalling industry who don't know how to manage money."
All the insurance companies said their actions were fair and said all policy holders would have known a market value reduction could be introduced at any time.
David Barral at Norwich Union – the largest of the providers – said the smoothing out process was usually good enough to cope with stock markets fluctuations, "but what we have witnessed in the last six months have been exceptional. We're trying to ensure all policyholders get fair value."

Sushi doesn't seem like a great NYE hangover cure, but a ton of celebs like J Lo and A-Rod had their first 2018 dinners at Nobu.
The famous Malibu celeb hot spot was also top dinner choice for Drake, Kendall Jenner and her bf Blake Griffin.
J Lo and A-Rod have been getting ready for the New Year with some super intense workouts, so an In-N-Out burger probably wasn't in the cards anyway.
Everyone has their go-to dinner spots -- and these guys made theirs clear.

Guys! There are some things I love about being an author, and one of those things is the amazing people I get to interact with who are also authors. This week, I am helping my agency sister, Vicki Leigh, to celebrate the release of her debut book, Catch Me When I Fall.
Don't miss out on the chance to enter Vicki's contest for the My Worst Nightmare blog hop.
Here is an awesome excerpt:
"Kayla, I'd like for you to stay a minute." When the others had filed out of the room, Dr. Malcolm closed the door and sat across from Kayla. "You were pretty shaken up last night, so I didn't have a chance to get much information from you. I'd like you to tell me what happened.""It was another dream.""The same as last time?"Kayla nodded. "I grabbed the gun and tried to shoot him, but I kept missing. Then he burst into flames, just how I… wanted him to."
Dr. Malcolm paused, calculating her response. "You mean, just how you remember?"Kayla's eyes fell to the floor.Dr. Malcom sighed. "Kayla, we've talked about this. You need to start believing that what you thought you saw was your brain's way of protecting you during the attack —""I know what I saw!" Kayla yelled. She gripped the seat of her chair and fought the tears that pooled in the bottom of her eyes.
Dr. Malcolm spoke calmly. "This is why you're here, Kayla. What you saw was your mind's reaction to what that man did to you. As soon as you come to terms with this, the dreams will stop feeling so real and you can move past the pain."The word "attack" brought up memories from my past I'd tried to forget. I'd died saving two women from the brutality of savage men. By the way Kayla's face looked right now, I was positive I knew where this was going, what happened to her. Having heard enough, I balled my hands into fists, closed my eyes and evaporated to Rome.Tabbi was awake when I arrived, though my sudden appearance startled her. "Jeez, Daniel. You could've at least knocked.""Sorry." I sat in the chair next to her bed and tried to appear unfazed. "How are you feeling?""Better. Trishna did a good job healing me, but Bartholomew wants to keep me one more night until he's certain I can return to work." She squinted at me. "What's wrong?"Damn. Can't hide anything from her. "When you read Kayla's mind, did you read all of it?"
Tabbi scrunched her small nose. "Well, yeah. It is my job to know my charge." She spoke like I was stupid to forget. I would've smiled if my heart wasn't already consumed with anger.
"Then you saw what happened to her the night she was attacked."Tabbi frowned. "Yeah.""Was she raped?"Tabbi shook her head. "Here. Let me show you what happened." She held her hand out to me.Since I was Tabbi's partner in protecting Kayla, I could see what she saw in Kayla's mind once I linked hands with her. The connection was part of the supernatural bond we'd created with Kayla when we performed our ritual the first day we were assigned to her. I grabbed Tabbi's hand and closed my eyes. Within seconds, I was in Kayla's head, seeing through her eyes and feeling her emotions. I had become Kayla.

About Catch Me When I Fall:
Recruited at his death to be a Protector of the Night, seventeen-year-old Daniel Graham has spent two-hundred years fighting Nightmares and guarding humans from the clawed, red-eyed creatures that feed off people's fears. Each night, he risks his eternal life, having given up his chance at an afterlife when he chose to become a Protector. That doesn't stop a burnt-out Daniel from risking daring maneuvers during each battle. He's become one of the best, but he wants nothing more than to stop.
Then he's given an assignment to watch over sixteen-year-old Kayla Bartlett, a clinically depressed patient in a psychiatric ward. Nightmares love a human with a tortured past. Yet, when they take a deep interest in her, appearing in unprecedented numbers, the job becomes more dangerous than any Daniel's ever experienced. He fights ruthlessly to keep the Nightmares from overwhelming his team and Kayla. Soon, Daniel finds himself watching over Kayla during the day, drawn to why she's different, and what it is about her that attracts the Nightmares. And him.
A vicious attack on Kayla forces Daniel to break the first Law and reveal his identity. Driven by his growing feelings for her, he whisks her away to Rome where others like him can keep her safe. Under their roof, the Protectors discover what Kayla is and why someone who can manipulate Nightmares has her in his sights. But before they can make a move, the Protectors are betrayed and Kayla is kidnapped. Daniel will stop at nothing to save her. Even if it means giving up his immortality.

The Web giant announced Wednesday that it has expanded its agreement with antiphishing specialist Cyota and signed new partnerships with security technology companies MarkMonitor and Cyveillance.
The deals provide its customers with "multiple layers of invisible protection against phishing attacks," the Dulles, Va.-based Internet service provider said in a statement.
The protection measures aim to prevent AOL members from falling for phishing scams by blocking access. AOL and its partners will scan the Web for fraudulent sites, analyze suspicious URLs, check new domain registrations and attempt to remove phishing sites from the Web, the company said.
Phishing scams typically combine spam e-mail with fraudulent Web sites to trick people into giving up sensitive information such as user names, passwords, credit card details and Social Security numbers. A total of 14,135 campaigns like this were reported in July, according to the Anti-Phishing Working Group.
AOL's new defenses are already in place and, combined with the ISP's existing shields, avert about 8 million phishing attempts against members each day, the company said.
The ISP, a subsidiary of Time Warner, is not alone in providing phishing protection to its customers. Rival EarthLink on Tuesday updated its security defenses with the release of its Protection Control Center, a bundle of tools that promise to safeguard members against viruses, spyware and phishing attempts as well as a firewall.
In addition to protection offered by ISPs, several companies, including Microsoft and Netcraft, offer browser toolbars to defend against phishing attacks.

I have mentioned that not only do I plan the week's meals, but that I actually plan to have leftovers. You may remember my telling you about getting at least three meals (ok, usually for two, but sometimes more of us) from a single roast chicken? Other than the pizza, those were all summer meals. Anyway, with winter, cold weather and our most recent roast chicken having stretched a little further than usual, I needed another plan. I checked what other ingredients I had in the fridge. No bell peppers, an essential ingredient to the fricassee I often make, and anyway, we'd had that with the first few leftovers. There were, however, plenty of mushrooms.
"Ah!" thought I, "what about a pie?"
Of course, I keep a roll of puff pastry in the deep freeze, just in case, so chicken and mushroom pie made I:
Some chopped onion and garlic were flung into the trusty-not-so-old wok, sautééd in a little olive oil and butter, until transparent and a little caramelised. Then I added a goodly quantity of sliced mushrooms – also to sautéé for a little while. On to this lot, I sprinkled about a tablespoon of flour and some salt and freshly ground black pepper. Once the flour had cooked a little, I added a decent glug of dry white wine and some full cream yoghurt, and allowed the mixture to cook to a nice consistency. Finally, I added the chicken, roughly chopped, and stirred it in. This mixture was divided between two dishes and a pastry "lid" added on top.
The pies were baked in a moderate oven for about 20 minutes to half an hour.
We ate our chicken pies with a chopped tomato and cucumber salad and roasted brussels sprouts that were sprinkled with Debbie's fabulous dukkah.
The 2014 McGregor Chardonnay made a great accompaniment!

Will it be announced at Comic-Con that Adrien Brody is Ant-Man?
Ant-Man has been one of those comic projects that we've talked a lot about.
Basically it came down to wondering if it would ever get off the ground. Then Edgar Wright swooped in and decided that he wanted to get the damn thing made. Earlier this month, Wright discussed his plans for the film. This was what he said, "I haven't actually started the second draft yet--I'm not going to be able to until this film [SCOTT PILGRIM] is out--but what we wrote for the first draft, and what Marvel really liked, is that it's funny, but it's a genre film. It's about the level of comedy that IRON MAN has. The idea is to make a high-concept genre film where it's within another genre. His suit and its power is the big gadget and it takes place in the real world."
Well, SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD will be released in the next 23 days, so looks like it will be time to get back to Ant-Man.
With SCOTT PILGRIM taking over Comic-Con, will Ant-Man get a special announcement too? Perhaps some casting news? There's buzz from the Latino Review guys that Adrien Brody is being pursued for the role of Hank Pym. There was also talk of Ant-Man making a "small" appearance in THE AVENGERS film before the solo Ant film. It's possible (or perhaps wishful thinking) that Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor might all make an appearance together at Con. While they may be pursuing Brody for the role, I'm not sure that he will show up and be like, "Yep. I'm Ant-Man." However, Con is full of surprises.
What do you guys think?
|Extra Tidbit:
|I'll accept Brody in an action role, after seeing PREDATORS I'd like to see him kick more ass in the future.

Despite President Trump's absence, White House Correspondents' Dinner headliner, Hasan Minhaj, didn't lay off the "liar-in-chief." The correspondent for The Daily Show had the audience rolling with his wisecracks about the commander-in-chief. Here are the best Trump jokes.
1. "I would say it was an honor to be here, but that would be an alternative fact. It is not. No one wanted to do this, so of course it lands in the hands of an immigrant. It's how it always goes down. No one wanted this gig — no one. Don Rickles died just so you wouldn't ask him to do this gig, alright. R.I.P. to Don Rickles, the only Donald with skin thick enough to take a joke like that. R.I.P. to the legend."
2. "We gotta address the elephant that's not in the room. The leader of our country is not here, and that's because he lives in Moscow. It's a very long flight. It'd be hard for Vlad to make it…As for the other guy, I think he's in Pennsylvania 'cause he can't take a joke." .. see more

Investors might want to rush to the door after the Netflix post-earnings spike, said CNBC "Fast Money" trader Steve Grasso.
The streaming media company jumped 11 percent in extended trading after missing Wall Street's first-quarter earnings expectations but beating projections for both U.S. and international subscriber growth. At nearly $530 per share, Netflix owners would be wise to take profits, Grasso noted.
"You have to sell on this type of move. You cannot keep it," he said.
Read MoreStrong dollar squeezes Netflix earnings; shares jump 12%
Trader Tim Seymour said international user growth—which came in at 2.6 million versus 2.3 million expected—impressed him. However, he noted the valuation put traders in a "very difficult place."
He added that $500 per share could become a new floor for the stock. Trader Guy Adami added that shares seemed "stupid expensive" measured by price-to-earnings ratio, but investors should look beyond the metric to subscriber growth.
Traders also discussed how to play some of Wednesday's other technology movers.


text: Succession is when plants and animals move into an area and begin to change the area by bringing a new growth to it. This can begin in two different ways, but they both have the same outcome of new vegetation and life in an area. The two ways that succession can happen are through primary and secondary succession. Primary succession is when there were no plants or animals living in an area before and then species move into that new area. This is for example after a glacier moves, or lakes and rivers recede. This applies to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park mainly in areas in which the rivers have changed their path over time and now plants have moved into the areas that were formally rivers. The second kind of succession is secondary succession. Secondary succession is when an event happens that clears out an area of life, and then species begin to re-inhabit the area and change the nature of the area. This can be caused by natural disasters and natural events that cause land to be cleared. This is very common in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, because the small forest fires begin to burn often and although they do not get out of control they still burn off the layer of underbrush, which allows for new plants to grow in their place. This is necessary for the park, because it keeps fresh plants on the forest floor as well as driving many insects into trees where they are consumed by a variety of animals, which helps the ecosystem to prosper.

fires are awful. could see the billowing smoke on sunday coming from the malibu and the santa clarita area fires, then suddenly there was billowing smoke coming seemingly from all around. surrounded by fire, yet so far away. not threatened here, except for air quality. the skies here had remained blue with a ribbon of smoke around the horizon until mid morning today. the smoke from the lake arrowhead and orange county fires are all moving west, covering the whole southland basin. the san gabriel valley looks choked with black and white smoke. there are parts of the sky that is orangey red, mainly early in the morning and of course, at sunset. but the sun goes behind the smoke and then completely disappears, well before it actually sets. here is the latest photo, from right this very moment, from the mt. wilson webcam...
this is looking south west-ish, from the local mountains that everyone can usually see from los angeles and the surrounding area, looking into the pasadena/san gabriel valley area. all is well here, for now, because i am really not that close to any of the 14-16 raging fires. but the freeways in areas are closed and too many people have been evacuated.
pray for rain....

Hip Implants Cosmetic : Mineral Makeup Eyeshadow : Makeup Brush Cleaning.
Hip Implants Cosmetic
- (Hip implant) Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant. Hip replacement surgery can be performed as a total replacement or a hemi (half) replacement.
- serving an esthetic rather than a useful purpose; "cosmetic fenders on cars"; "the buildings were utilitarian rather than decorative"
- Designed or serving to improve the appearance of the body, esp. the face
- a toiletry designed to beautify the body
- Involving or relating to treatment intended to restore or improve a person's appearance
- Affecting only the appearance of something rather than its substance
The 2009 Report on Orthopedic Hip Implants: World Market Segmentation by City
This report was created for global strategic planners who cannot be content with traditional methods of segmenting world markets. With the advent of a "borderless world", cities become a more important criteria in prioritizing markets, as opposed to regions, continents, or countries. This report covers the top 2000 cities in over 200 countries. It does so by reporting the estimated market size (in terms of latent demand) for each major city of the world. It then ranks these cities and reports them in terms of their size as a percent of the country where they are located, their geographic region (e.g. Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, North America, Latin America), and the total world market.
In performing various economic analyses for its clients, I have been occasionally asked to investigate the market potential for various products and services across cities. The purpose of the studies is to understand the density of demand within a country and the extent to which a city might be used as a point of distribution within its region. From an economic perspective, however, a city does not represent a population within rigid geographical boundaries. To an economist or strategic planner, a city represents an area of dominant influence over markets in adjacent areas. This influence varies from one industry to another, but also from one period of time to another.
In what follows, I summarize the economic potential for the world's major cities for "orthopedic hip implants" for the year 2009. The goal of this report is to report my findings on the real economic potential, or what an economist calls the latent demand, represented by a city when defined as an area of dominant influence. The reader needs to realize that latent demand may or may not represent real sales.
Hip implant components
Shiny metal objects on display in the hospital. A very dear friend of mine broke her pelvis. Thankfully she doesn't need one of these ...
"The purpose of hip replacement surgery is to remove the two damaged and worn parts of the hip joint – the hip socket, acetabulum, and the ball, femoral head – and replace them with smooth, artificial implants called prostheses, which will help make the hip strong, stable and flexible again".
cosmetic implants
I was picking up some hip implants from a surgery today to move them to another account when I noticed these.....! Yes these are breast implant trials. I have seen a lot of odd things over the years in the orthopedic industry but this is a first.
hip implants cosmetic
This econometric study covers the world outlook for orthopedic hip implants across more than 200 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-a-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved. This study does not report actual sales data (which are simply unavailable, in a comparable or consistent manner in virtually all of the 230 countries of the world). This study gives, however, my estimates for the worldwide latent demand, or the P.I.E., for orthopedic hip implants. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided across the world's regional and national markets. For each country, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time (positive or negative growth). In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on international strategic planning at graduate schools of business.

Leon Bismark Beiderbecke was an influential American Jazz Pianist, Cornetist and Composer who was also known by his stage name "Bix" Beiderbecke. He is known by some to be the father of the 'cool jazz' genre as well as the jazz ballad style.
Bix Beiderbecke was born on the 10 March 1903 in Davenport, Iowa. His mother was an organ player for her neighborhood's Presbyterian Church, and she taught her son how to play the piano when he was only two years old. Beiderbecke's talent with the piano was marvelous, by age seven he had gained popularity all over Davenport, part of which was due to a newspaper article that hinted at his ability to play any tune that he wanted. Beiderbecke's early jazz influences would include the 'Original Dixieland Jazz Band' and Nick LaRocca. He would often evade his parent's attention to catch hot jazz bands and one-off jazz performances at city clubs.
Beiderbecke's professional career started when he joined the Wolverine Orchestra in 1923. The band would spend plenty of time playing at the Stockton Club in Ohio, covering pieces originally written by Nick LaRocca and Larry Shields. Beiderbecke was allowed the freedom to improvise and the band saw bouts of Beiderbecke's unique hot-jazz style of soloing in their performances. He left the band in October 1924, and after a short stint at the University of Iowa, he finally met Frankie Trumbauer. Trumbauer was one of the most influential jazz saxophonists at the time, and he was known for his exceptionally technical melodies. The duo soon joined the highly popular Jean Goldkette group in Detroit. Even so, Beiderbecke's performances in Detroit were not as adventurous as they were with Wolverine, as he was very formal and he kept his improvisation to a minimum. However, Beiderbecke would record independently with Trumbauer and guitarist Eddie Lang singles such as "Singin' the Blues" and "Clarinet Marmalade", both of which were known for Beiderbecke's remarkable soloing ability. Another single which would shower immense attention on Beiderbecke was "I'm Coming, Virginia". Solos from these pieces would form the platform for the jazz ballad style, a style which would ultimately go on to influence the likes of Bing Crosby and Lester Young.
At the collapse of the Jean Goldkette group, the Beiderbecke and Trumbauer duo joined the esteemed Paul Whiteman Orchestra. At that time (1927), Paul Whiteman was known as the 'King of Jazz', largely due to his performance of George Gershwin's 'Rhapsody in Blue'. Like Wolverine and Goldkette, the orchestra would spend a remarkable amount of time touring and recording with Beiderbecke until 1929.
Beiderbecke's alcoholism ultimately took a toll on his musical ability and on his life. By 1930, it was said that 'his improvisation ability left him'. It was also said that the cause of his death was Lobar Pneumonia, and that alcoholism could have been a factor. Beiderbecke died in his apartment on August 6, 1931. He is remembered as one of the most influential jazz soloists of the 1920s.

Learning science is one of the hardest things a person can do. It often forces us to shift the way in which we see the world. The process is demanding, but is ultimately rewarding, because it allows us to interact with nature in a deeper, more meaningful way. If we continue down this road, we become empowered with the means to shape our environment - we become engineers.

Electric Cars Alone Solve Nothing

Exactly! We still need to focus on renewable sources and cleaner ways of generating power. Electric cars answer nothing, while they do fill in a large part of the puzzle.

This is actually something i have realized too about electric cars. The only thing that people seem to tell me when i bring electric cars up in a conversation is that you pay more for an electric car per KM then you do for a gas guzzler at 1.45 a litre. That really shot down my spirits for supporting electric cars for now. I would like to know what you believe on this subject of electric cars costing more than fuel guzzlers.
I think a really good documentary that i saw last month might just add to this debate. The name of the documentary is "Who Killed the Electric Car?" that i watched on netflix.

Today i had an interesting conversation with an old aeronautic engineer named Bob who used to work at prat and Witney some time ago and my father a diesel engineer. We got onto the topic of electric cars and an interesting ideal came up when analysing the electric car. My father brought up an interesting point on why electric car makers dont attach alternators to all four weel's to recharge the batteries which run the actual cars when driving them. He believed it would be a super efficient way to up the amount of distance the car could go before needing a recharge. I added to that ideal and said why not add solar panels to the car to charge it while it is parked in your driveway or while you shop. Then Bob said even if car producers dont add those things to a car, why not have a small engine power a generator to charge your battery when it detects that it is getting low while you drive. He noted that it wouldn't take much gas, a liter would suffice to power the recharge system. All these ideals really had me thinking back to this post you maid on electric cars and an alternate source of recharge energy.
I really would like to see if any of these ideal would actually work and if it would be plausible to prolong the distance travelled by an electric car. I would like to hear what other people think on this topic and what ideals might overcome the disadvantages of todays electric cars.

I don't think that batteries mean the future for electric cars. Maybe the wireless electricity will be the solution for charging problems. It's very hard to store electricity. But we have a possibility to create a new system of transportation which could produce and share the electricity for cars using a wireless electricity network built in our roads...

OK, so after I had spent four hours viewing those amazing embroideries in very low light, I walked out in the sunshine and headed toward Central Park to meet up with Jim and Jack. It felt like the first warm day in New York in some time and the park was teeming with people who were getting outside in the sunshine.
One of the exquisite things about Central Park is it's contrast to it's city surroundings. It's a green space, sure, in the midst of a huge city but it's also got a lot of topography -- lakes and ponds and lots of different elevations because of the rocks that run throughout it.
The rocks are striking. And when the green of Spring has not yet arrived, you notice the rock a lot more. You may not realize this but the rock within Central Park was home to a significant glacier that began to dye about 18,000 years ago.
This glacier carved much of the city and surrounding Long Island, even parts of New Jersey. You can still see evidence of glacial features that are unmodified all over the rocks in Central Park. If my rambling about how cool this is is even the least bit interesting to you, then you must read The Very Cold Case of the Glacier from September 2005 in the New York Times.
It made me wonder how difficult it would be to embroider a rock. In fact, my Japanese embroidery teacher once embroidered a rock with a japanese pine tree by the moon. It was exquisite but imagine how hard it is to get the texture and the play of light and dark.
Anyway, as I was walking along there were lots of interesting things to discover but the overall color of the park was kind of brownish gray.
Which reminded me of the embroideries I had just been seeing. From a glance, the embroideries appeared brown and gray and dull.
Until you get up close. This piece really was interesting because it was the only piece in the exhibit stitched in wool using the tent stitch. But there were little bits of silk satin stitch used throughout the piece which shimmered in the low light and gave the piece brilliance.
I took the liberty of adding the sparkle so you could understand the effect.
I felt the same way about Central Park. Largely, a brownish gray canvas. Until you got up close.
And the signs of Spring were everywhere...even on the rocks.
And did you notice the turtles sunning themselves on the rock in the foreground of the lake picture?
Jim said that they weren't sunning themselves but that it was a turtle orgy. I think the Spring air was affecting him too. *wink
Tomorrow, I'll tell you about the sweet ending to our beautiful day.

What a wonderful post. The sad thing about the park is its about the only place to be near nature. I can't imagine living without a woods to walk through.
You certainly have a wonderful power of observation. My husband has it. I wish I did. I need to slow down.
- Carol said...
I had to come back again to mention how educational this trip was for your son. We took our Grandsons to Mammoth Cave and they just sucked up all the information they could about the caves and how rivers form.
Thanks for the link to the New York Times. It was so interesting. Sad that newspapers are closing.
- karenfae said...
I have only been to Central Park once and I know we did not see near enough of it. Maybe one day we can go again - I hope so.
- Judy S. said...
Great photos, Susan. The last time we were in NYC it was mid-March and there was snow on the ground! Did you happen to see the statue of Balto? Jack might enjoy that story if he doesn't already know it.
- Marty52 said...
Beautiful post, Susan... and the bits of glitter really bring the embroidery to life!
- Robin said...
This post and the previous one together are over-the-top-fabulous! I don't even know where to begin with this comment... probably the most thought-provoking thing about them is the comparison of the park and the embroideries, both seeming drab, yet both containing light and sparkle in key places. Your helibore picture makes me drool, as do the little white lillies (or whatever the sweet beauties are).... And then, there are rocks. No, I don't think it would be possible to embroider a rock, because hard is a necessary qualifing characteristic of rocks and embroidery is soft... OK... well, thread embroidery is... but we could do it with beads! Thanks for enriching my life today! Robin A.
- Debra said...
Totally love the picture of the turtles getting it on in broad daylight!
- Lisa said...
You've really brought Central Park to life for me! Love your pictures of the flowers, especially the hellebores! So beautiful!
- Allison Ann Aller said...
I feel like I was there with you!
So many wonders...but silly me, I love the sparkle you added to the embroidery the best, esp with that fine little smile on the lady's face....
- Wanda said...
Wonderful pictures, thoughts and observances. It's the observing part that is so important for me...I try to see beautiful things in everything.
- jessi said...
What great photos! I'm going to NYC for the third (or is it fourth?) time this summer, and reading about your trip makes me even more excited. :)
--"It made me wonder how difficult it would be to embroider a rock."-- When I read to this I thought literally stitching a rock with pine tree essence and moonlight... I thought you were wondering how hard it is to do what the glacier or fossil did, embroidered a rock. Not for long I get what you really mean and my original grasp was a good fantasy.
The post is beautiful and the park is both relaxing and refreshing.

When I spent a weekend on the shores of Loch Lomond in 2012, I tried a silhouette-type shot and ended up with this.
So, this year (I go there every year), I thought I'd try to work on the same idea and see what I could do.
The one good thing is that there are plenty of opportunities, as lots people go fishing on these boats (Bernard -Benjy- this is thanks to you!).
What I wanted to do was hold on to a bit of detail in the land in the background and not let it go completely black. Does it work?

MANILA-- Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana on Monday said latest intelligence reports has indicated that Isnilon Hapilon, one of the leaders of the Marawi rebellion and the designated amir of the Islamic State (IS) for Southeast Asia, is still in Marawi City.
According to our latest info, he (Hapilon) is still inside Marawi. In fact, there is an information we got this morning that he's hiding in one of the mosques there in Marawi, he told reporters during the Mindanao Hour press briefing in MalacaAang.
The Defense chief said the information they got was corroborated by people watching his arrival in Basilan.
There were three fighters from Marawi that arrived in Basilan more than a week ago, but Isnilon was not one of them. So we still believe that he is still in Marawi, Lorenzana said.
He added that intel reports from Basilan could be deemed authentic since these do not come from the military but directly from civilians who find Hapilon a very lucrative target.
You know, ka-tribo din nila. Because Hapilon is very lucrative target din 'yan. The Basilan people there, the Yakans, know that there is a five million (dollar) price on the head of Hapilon. And it's very tempting for them also to give us accurate report on his whereabouts so that they will also, maybe, get some of the money, Lorenzana said.
In the meantime, the designated head of the newly-created Task Force Bangon Marawi said even as the military continues to clear Marawi City of the remaining terrorists, preparations for the eventual rehabilitation of Marawi City are already underway.
According to him, part of preparations included instituting strict controls on people getting inside Marawi through setting up of checkpoints.
We don't want a lot of people there roaming around in Marawi while the shooting is still going on. And later on when the rehabilitation starts, we will also control people going in so that only those with legitimate -- 'yung may mga gagawin lang sa loob ang nandoon sa loob, Lorenzana said.

I work with both elementary and secondary teachers. It's interesting to hear how each of them perceives the other---especially in terms of attention from the district.
My sixth grade teachers told me this week that the big discussion recently has been "How come secondary doesn't have to do the standards-based report card?" This has been a major source of upheaval in the district (and will likely continue to be over the next two years as it becomes phased in) and teachers have felt a bit put upon.
Secondary teachers? They want to know how come the elementaries get all of the instructional coaches and access to a whole other set of substitutes for professional development.
Principals' from the district's elementary schools were complaining on Tuesday that they want the program secondary has which allows teachers to go out and observe other teachers as a reflective tool.
Gimme. Gimme. Gimme. :)

My blonde is coming back...
So, this past week's been a bit manic.
We've had a Russian student staying with us for the past six weeks, I promised her that before she went home, I'd do her makeup for her. So I did.
Before After
Bad quality photo's, but you get the idea. She wasn't used to wearing makeup, she looked so different :O. She went home today, It's gonna be so weird without her here, I'd gotten used to her!
Also, this week my dog had a hair cut. He looks such a cutie. He's had a super relaxing week bless him!
Could you get a more chilled out dog?
I've been so tired this week. Too much stress! I'm meant to be on my holidays! I've got lots of shopping planned for the next couple of weeks to take my mind off the dreaded exam results. I know I'm going to do terribly. I'd be happy to just pass to be honest!
How was your week?
Thanks for reading!

Before you start I want to mention that I will be posting some links for you guys to read. But, do not be discouraged in one thing that you are going to read in the article which is that he or she said you have to be a believer to plead the blood of Jesus for it to work. Honestly It's false. Why would I say that? Because, Jesus died for everybody that are born and are going to be born in the future. Since Jesus died for all of us we can use it. Is God a discriminating God that will only allow believer's to be able to use it? God is a good God he is not a discriminating God that will only allow believers to use the blood of Jesus. If he did wouldn't that mean he is being in the wrong. God is holy and fair since he died for everyone it is meant for everyone.
I have a cousin she started to act like a bisexual person but more on the lesbian side. It started since last year that he started to show that she was Bi and just this year it became more worse. So, just this summer I asked her older sister to turn her younger sister straight by using Jesus Name and so she did. As months goes by let's say more than 3 months just 2 days ago I asked her if her sister is she still acting bi and if she is how percentage is she now? So she told me she has become more straight by 59%. But, do you know what the thing that was the most important in this story was? My cousin and her family are actually non-christians. Yup I told my cousin how to use it to make her sister straight because, I wanted to teach her how to use it to help her sister and to herself as well. Ever since that she seems to have faith I think. So yeah there you have it!

Welcome to the World of Blogging
I'm not a writer, nor am I a blogger, so I started this online teaching course with a bit of fear (okay – maybe even panic). But, I know I must adapt and learn all of these amazing new technologies that can bring students and instructors together without having to be in the same classroom, city, or continent for that matter.
I'm Melissa, and I'm an associate faculty member at Mira Costa. I've been teaching the Principles of Health course (both on campus and online) for a few years now. This course covers the gammut – exercise, nutrition, drug abuse, stress management, sexual health, etc…, etc…
Online teaching just fell into my lap one semester when my full-time faculty member asked me if I wanted to try teaching an online class. I jumped at the chance, because, although I'm technologically challenged, I do enjoy being online and feel pretty comfortable with "surfing the net." At the time, my full-timer just copied her online course into mine and I just went along with exactly how she taught online. That was two years ago and I really haven't changed a whole lot about the class since.
I'm wanting to get past all of the "text based" material I have in my online class. It's rather boring and I find that, although I require "weekly discussion posts", I'm not getting the kind of interaction I would like to see between the students and even between myself and the students. Just last week, I've tried using the voice annoucement option in Blackboard & I was so excited to do something different! I think my biggest obsticle is that I don't even really know what's out there, so I'm hoping this course will expose me to all the various tools and things I can use to improve my course. I've found that I really do enjoy teaching online and I want to improve the experience for both my students and myself!
Okay, now from teaching to a little bit about me….I grew up in Southern California and even attended Mira Costa for a few classes while I was working on my undergraduate degree at UCSD. I enjoy being able to teach in the community where I grew up and still currently live. I see my students at the park, the beach, the grocery store, and restaurants & I really do enjoy having that connection to the community. I also have two elementary-school aged daughters, so when I'm not working I'm volunteering in their classrooms or leading Girl Scout meetings!
I'm looking forward to learning a lot from this group!
