HHR stands for "Heritage High Roof," Chevrolet's answer to Chrysler's PT Cruiser. Combining America's late-'90s interest in "retro" cars with its early '00s taste in anything sport/utility, the HHR is a small, versatile truck with rear seats that fold for a flat for up to 57.7 cubic-feet of cargo. Introduced for '06, the HHR is on GM's unibody compact platform, with front-wheel drive.
It passed Chrysler PT Cruiser sales in 2007, and though sales of both have steadily declined from 2008, the HHR sells well for a niche model. The problem with retro design is, what do you do for an encore? Chevrolet had planned to replace the HHR with the Orlando, a small multi-purpose vehicle, in late 2011. More recently, it dropped those plans for the U.S., though Orlando will be sold in most other markets, including Canada.
Meanwhile, Chrysler has extended production of the PT Cruiser, so it remains to be seen whether the HHR, which moved 70,000 units even in 2009, will live to see another day.
Bodystyles: Crossover SUV
Engines: 2.2L I-4, 2.4L I-4
Transmission: 5-speed manual, 4-speed automatic
Models: LS, 1LT, 2LT
There are no major changes to the HHR for the 2011 model year. Minor changes are two new colors, Mocha Steel Metallic and Black Granite Metallic, and now the HHR's MY LINK package includes a free year of XM Satellite radio. MY LINK combines the radio/CD player/MP3 playback and USB port with Bluetooth phone connectivity and OnStar Directions and Connections service plan. MY LINK includes a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls and a leather-wrapped shift knob.
No exterior styling changes for '11. The "heritage" in HHR refers to styling cues lifted from late '40s Chevy Suburbans. The HHR panel van, with no rear-door exterior handles or windows, has serious competition from Ford's Transit Connect.
The two-seat panel van features an unfinished cargo space for small businesses and two interior switches for the rear doors. The five-seater's front passenger seat folds flat, and there are lots of extra cubbies and features.
The HHR handles better than a conventional crossover/utility, not as good as a compact car. Ride is a bit harsh and unrefined, but there's less body roll compared with the PT Cruiser. The 2.2-liter engine is rated 155 horsepower and the 2.4 makes 172 horsepower (both on unleaded regular). There's no fuel-economy advantage to the 2.2 — it's a price-point engine option.
HHR received the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's top, five-star crash ratings for driver and front-seat passenger in a frontal crash and side-impact crash for front and rear passengers. It has a four-star rollover rating.
LS, 1LT, Panel LS, Panel 1LT (2.2L): 22 mpg city/32 mpg highway (manual); 22 mpg city/30 mpg highway

Something happens in Duc Loi Supermarket at night. When we humans go home to watch old episodes of NewsRadio on Hulu; heat up leftovers for our hungry children; go out to bars to meet up with an old girlfriend we're thinking of getting back together with; or wander the streets with a camera, looking for weird little things to take pictures of, the piñatas at Duc Loi experience something very different.
I happened to catch a glimpse of their secret world the other night, and I'll tell you, I have no idea what they're up to in there. Here are some guesses as to what this could be about:
• Piñata Fight Club – The fight doesn't stop when candy is spilled. It's just another clean up on aisle three.
• Prayer Service – The Great One, a holy piñata in the form of a star with seven points appears in a blinding light and cleanses the spirits of the doomed beasts.
• Rock Concert – Big Bird and the Bats rock the house. Big Bird heads up the three piece jam band on vocals, Laa-Laa coos in the background on bass and Monkey-With-A-Donkey-Head keeps the beat on drums.
For now, all I have are guesses. Next step: Infiltration.

Wee James would like to thank everyone for their well-wishes. He's feeling much better! (Good enough to steal Jim Sturgess's sexy coat, obvs.)
Wowie zowie.
I had a lot of new visitors leave comments on my last post. Thank you, and welcome to my blog! I hope you all stick around for the pie. Big thanks to Kiersten White, Natalie Whipple, and Katie Anderson for linking to my post (and for being wonderful in general), and thank you to everyone who tweeted about it. I spent — ah hem — a LONG time writing it. It feels really, really nice to know the work was appreciated.
There were so many great comments, and I'd like to share with you the ones that held more self-editing tips.
Rachel Bateman said:
"One word I think all writers should have on their overused list is THAT. It seems to be one of the most overused words of all time. If I catch myself using it, I stop myself and think long and hard about whether or not I really need it. Then, at the end, I do a find to see how many I missed–most of these can be removed as well."
It's on my list, too! Though I must confess, the first time I became aware of THAT problem, I removed waaaaay too many, and the language became unnatural. So yeah. Watch out for "that" . . . but don't carried away, like I did.
Super Agent Daphne Unfeasible said:
"Regarding your advice to 'Keep a list of the words you overuse. (My list, among many things, includes: grin, smile, eyes, laugh, hand.) Every time you finish a new draft, do another "Find" search. Eliminate some of these.', Rexroth recommends creating a Wordle on your manuscript and using it to weed out the overused words. And I think Rexroth is very very wise."
Rexroth IS wise, because he married you, and you are fabulous! This is great advice. I've bookmarked Wordle so many times I've lost count, but I'll definitely hit it up on my next draft. Especially after seeing . . .
Valerie's follow-up comment:
"I second Daphne about Wordle but I think it works even better on a chapter by chapter basis. I find it's helpful to use on a chapter or scene sequence so that I can see if I'm using the same words over and over when focused on one topic or event. When you're doing your entire manuscript there might not be enough instances of a word for it to show up, but when checking out just that chapter you might find that you've used it way too much."
Excellent! Thank you!
Shelley said:
"I also think on your list of things to read and learn about writing a book is the Not For Robots site. Sooo much goodness there!"
YES. I credit Laini Taylor's Not for Robots site for helping me complete my first full, pretty draft. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Love love LOVE. If you've never read it, GO FORTH IMMEDIATELY.
Shelley also asked:
"You seem to be accumulating more boyfriends...is that allowed?"
Of course it's allowed.
As long as I keep my Only Full-Time Live-In Celebrity Boyfriend, Chris Martin, away from my brilliant-but-curmudgeonly boyfriend, Thom Yorke, everyone is just happy for the extra company.
The last time Chris and Thom were here at the same time, one of them enjoyed it more than the other.
Poor Chris. He's such a sweetheart.
Hmm, what's next? This whole post is a bit scattered, as things keep popping up, and I'm finding less and less time to address them.
Less time because . . . it's NaNoWriMo time!
Which means this November, I'll be working on THREE novels — Anna, Lola, and the brand-new Third Novel.
It's a good thing I'm a professional. (Snert.)
Normally, I'd explain why I love National Novel Writing Month, and why you should try it, blah blah blah, but this year I'll just direct you to an interview I did about NaNo with Sarah at Bookduck. This interview was extra-special because not only was it Sarah's first interview, it was also mine!
[Sarah, I'm honored to have lost our interview virginity together. We're, like, legit now. BUT WHY HAVEN'T YOU CALLED? Didn't last weekend mean ANYTHING to you??]
And here's a link to last year's NaNo post. Good stuff there. Also, if you're interested in being my writing buddy, I'm naturallysteph in NaNo-land.
Okay. What's next?
[Steph consults actual, typed list.]
Oh, yeah! This has already been Link-O-Rama Central, but here are two more, if you'd like to get in the Halloween spirit, in a famous writerly way:
Neil Gaiman's 30-Second Scary Story, halfway down the page = Genius (And, yes, Neil. You can read me to sleep any night. Every night.)
Diana Gabaldon's Real-Life Ghost Story = Fascinating
[Steph consults list again.]
Myrna-Foster-Finally-Has-A-Blog gave me an award for Sheer Awesomeness! Thank you so much, Myrna! I find you incredibly awesome, too.
[Steph consults list again.]
[Steph sees remaining list is answering more questions.]
[Steph dies a little.]
[Steph decides to answer them in the next post.]
Happy Halloween, everyone!
Please eat forty-two Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and watch Sleepy Hollow. We'll talk again once we've calmed down from our sugar rush.

She's landed triple axles better than this tweet.
Former Olympian and "Dancing with the Stars" champion Kristi Yamaguchi was ridiculed across social media earlier this week after offering well wishes to current contestant and former Olympian Nancy Kerrigan. Yamaguchi's intent may have been well intended. But her choice of words landed with a thud.
As pretty much everyone is aware, Kerrigan was assaulted in the back of the knee by a club-wielding attacker in 1993. That attacker was revealed to be working on behalf of skating rival Tonya Harding and her then-husband who were plotting to knock Kerrigan out of the Olympics.
U.S. & World
If Kerrigan noted the faux pas she didn't mention it on Twitter. Instead she thanked Yamaguchi for the well wishes.
The rest of the Twitterverse wasn't as gracious, throttling Yamaguchi for the blunder with an emoji-laden assault of their own.

On the eve of the Second World War, about 4,500 Jews lived in and around Kartuz-Breze. These were Jews of all kinds: a small number were wealthy, but most were ordinary folk, who struggled day by day and hour by hour each at the work or vocation which was his fate to eke out a living.
Kartuz-Breze had all the earmarks of a Jewish town in Eastern Europe: synagogues, a Hassidic "shtible", a public bath house and mikveh, an organization dealing with charity and good deeds, and also, of course, beggars, Torah students, pious and charitable people, and many righteous women. In modern time, to these were added all the accoutrements of modernity and "Haskala" such as political parties (both Zionist and non-Zionist), youth movements, communal activities, as well as a Yiddish school and even a Hebrew school, "Tarbut".
And nothing is left of all this. It was all laid waste. Everything was destroyed.
In the forest of Bruno-Gora, where the members of the Zionist youth groups used to celebrate Lag B'Omer with bows and arrows, the Germans amassed more than 100,000 Jews from the area and among these were almost all the Jews of Kartuz-Breze and there they shot and killed them, men, women and children. Earth, do not conceal their blood!
In Kartuz-Breze there is no sign of the vigorous Jewish life which flourished there. Even in the forest of Bruno-Gora where these Jews perished there is no sign.
Only a meager few Jews from Kartuz-Breze remained alive. Of these, some came to Israel, and others migrated elsewhere before the Shoah, and there were those few who passed the war years in Europe, mostly in concentration camps (among these were partisans and soldiers of the Red Army). All the rest are no longer.
So it was decided: we would memorialize our town, and commemorate the lives of our parents, our brothers and sisters, and our friends who were killed; that we would publish their names, as well as something of what we remember from the life there, of what we saw there: the people, our own life experiences, and some of the history of the Jewish community in Kartuz-Breze in general.
We approached this hallowed work with trepidation; two editorial committees were formed, a broad one and one smaller and narrower divided up in the following ways (spare no efforts on this labor of love):
Broad Committee:
Smaller Committee:
In particular, we have not made any changes with regard to what was written by participants of this book. In grammatical proofreading, intervened my brother-in-law Ephraim Even, who was in the past World Chairman of Labor Zionist Council from "Histadrut" (Central Labor Organization). He did his work with a lot of zeal and love, and goes to him our gratefulness for this.
I want to thank to the Emigrants of Bereza and their descendants, in Israel and abroad, that collaborated economically to publish this book. I also thank to the friends that had written in spite of all difficulties.
I want to thank specially my friends, Directors of the Association: Tzipora Brener, Baruch Fisher and Penina Rab for their efforts and their great help. While this book was being prepared, left us an Association Director, Simcha Nosetzky Z"L (blessed his name), whose collaboration was important. Be blessed his memory.
I also thank a lot Mrs. Sarit Tinari, owner of the Almah Publishing House that offered voluntarily to help in the preparation of the book for it's printing.
Many thanks and blessings to PENIEL and his wife for their great help, and especially for translations from Yiddish to Hebrew.
Thanks to the artist Moishele Bernshtein for his help to achieve a beautiful and artistic presentation. He was also in the Council that defined graphics to print in the book.
Also thanks and blessings to my friend, member of the smaller editorial committee, Schmuel Tinari for his general contribution and especially for his help for fund raising to publish the book.
And a special gratefulness to my fried and member of the smaller editorial committee, Moishe Tuchman, who drew the map of the city with accuracy and care, and faithfully collected the names of the Jews of the town who were killed in action while fighting the enemy.
The fruit of our effort, the book about Kartuz Bereza, is presented to the reader. May this book be like a candle in memory of the communities of innocent and pure Jews of K. Bereza, and especially to our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren until the end of the generations, to strengthen Jewish State and to fortify it that the Jewish people will never again know a Shoah!

Funky wallpaper
"Zelda," a wallpaper design by the Brooklyn-based Flavor Paper.
If wallpaper = boring in your book, then you haven't seen the quirky and unusual designs that have become available for contemporary walls. Some historians believe wallpaper was first used in ancient China, but it has certainly come a long way from the floral patterns which became popular in the 18th century.
By CBSNews.com senior producer David Morgan
Flavor Paper
Wallpaper became very popular in England in the mid-18th century, and soon made its way to the American Colonies.

The quirky designs of the Brooklyn-based company Flavor Paper can surprise and amuse. Take the style called "City Park," which features pigeons, rats, fire hydrants and parking meters.
Flavor Paper owner John Sherman offers custom designs that are hand-screened or digitally printed. Customers have included hipsters like musician Lenny Kravitz.
"That was sort of a nice jumping-off point for us," Sherman told CBS News' Rita Braver, "and kind of took things out of being your grandmother's wallpaper, to immediately being, 'We make rock star wallpaper!'"
Flavor Paper
Sherman bought an Oregon wallpaper company whose business had declined in the 1980s and was, in his words, "being burned to the ground." He moved the operations to New Orleans, and eventually to Brooklyn.
" I had never really contemplated wallpaper as a potential product," he told Braver. "I was very anti-white walls and I loved a lot of color. And this company had really thrived in the '70s and had some very colorful, bright Mylar wallpaper that I found to be striking and hadn't seen anything like it. I missed that era! It was extremely unique and really sparked my interest. And I thought, 'I don't know anyone with wallpaper. Why not?' I hadn't seen any fun, interesting, colorful wallpaper in my life, so I decided to jump on it. And I thought, 'I know enough artists and I have enough color taste and appreciation that I can make something that people will like.' "
Left: "Featherlight" style.
Flavor Paper
Flavor Paper's "Sharp Descent" is filled with needles, knives and blades.
"This has gone on a lot of different spaces," said Sherman, "the most terrifying being over a female lawyer's bed in San Francisco, who I would not want to face in court! But she did it in black on black, so it was very subtle."
Flavor Paper

Flavor Paper
Braver asked Sherman, "Do you think the design world has come around today to a new appreciation of wallpaper that maybe wasn't there 10, 15 years ago?"
"Oh, absolutely," he replied. "When we first showed at ICFF [the International Contemporary Furniture Fair] in 2003, there were really two or three wallpaper companies showing. And last year there were 92 companies listed as showing wallpaper!"
Flavor Paper
"Rio Crocodillo" fuses the sidewalk pattern from Rio de Janeiro's Ipanema Beach with the texture of crocodile skin.
Flavor Paper
"What do you say to people who have never used wallpaper before?" asked Braver.
"Well, I think bathrooms are an excellent place to start, because they are their own little microcosm within their home," said Flavor Paper's Sherman. "So it gives you a contained space to kind of go wild and really experiment with how you feel about pushing the boundaries of your home with it in a contained scenario, instead of in the forefront of something you're gonna sleep next to every night, or in your living room.
"But I really think it's important for people. It's similar to choosing artwork. You find something you really love. You get it in the right color so that it works with your home palette, and you put something in that you really love. And you wake up every day and you say, 'I love looking at these flowers every day.' And it's just a nice point of your home."
Flavor Paper
Payton Turner and her husband, artist Brian Kaspr, founded Flat Vernacular, after they discovered a mutual interest in wallpaper.
"I was always really interested in exploring pattern in my drawings," said Turner. After moving to New York, she had a small show in which she showed wallpaper she had been doing in school, as part of her senior thesis at the Maryland Institute College of Art. "A woman commissioned me to do it in her townhouse and we started exploring printed designs. And it sort of snowballed very organically."
Flat Vernacular
"Wallpaper is a really excellent medium for covering a space entirely, which paintings typically don't do, so it kind of sets the mood, sets the scene, creates an atmosphere," said Turner.
Flat Vernacular
"I think the people who grew up with [wallpaper] are now becoming homeowners and buying spaces," said Flat Vernacular's Brian Kaspr. "And so they have a nostalgia, and so they want to revive that."

Kaspr says wallpaper is his generation's way of going beyond stark, white walls.
"I think people like to really own their space," said Kaspr. "And I think with the level of people out there who are willing to do their own decorating, for instance, it becomes sort of an extension of their taste."

14-year-old Georgia girl abducted during home invasion
ATLANTA, GA — The FBI has joined the search for a 14-year-old girl who was kidnapped early Tuesday from her home in an Atlanta suburb by two armed men during a home invasion.
Ayvani Hope Perez was last seen wearing blue and gray Star Wars pajama bottoms and a blue and gray superhero shirt, according to the details of the Amber Alert issued after she was abducted. She is Hispanic, has black hair and brown eyes, is 4 feet, 9 inches tall and weighs 93 pounds. She may be traveling in a gray Dodge.
The two suspects, described as black men who were wearing dark clothing, pried open the family's back door at around 2:15 a.m. Tuesday in Ellenwood, Georgia, according to police. Perez' mother told investigators she tried to hide her two childrenbut the gunmen found them and demanded money and jewelry.
Police say the two men shot the family dog — which survived — and abducted Ayvani after the family failed to meet their demands.
Anyone with information about Ayvani or the suspects is urged to contact the Clayton County Police Department at 678-610-4781.

CC a Warrior, But Won't Win Cy
Today he got hungry – and forgot his manners.
Yankee ace CC Sabathia ate up 7 1/3 innings this afternoon, giving up just two earned runs on six hits en route to the Yanks' 9-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays at home. He walked just one batter and struck out 10 for the second straight game.
With the win, Sabathia has collected at least 19 wins in each of his three seasons in pinstripes – which ties him for most 19 win seasons (as a Yankee) with Andy Pettitte, Ron Guidry, and Mel Stottlemyre. He now has four career 19 win seasons and he has a good chance to win 20 (or more) before the 2011 campaign wraps.
Of late, the big man has been dealing like he's been playing blackjack in Vegas.
But it hasn't just been the past couple of starts that have put Sabathia in the running for the Cy Young Award. All season long he has been a horse. In fact, since day one he has done nothing but work, grind, and earn everything he has.
Case in point: his last start on Aug. 30 in Boston, a game the Yanks needed and won 5-2.
The Red Sox had gotten the better of Sabathia all season going into that game. His numbers proved that, as he boasted a poor 0-4 record with an inflated 7.20 ERA against the Yankees' hated rivals. More than anything he needed to showcase his capability to win a hugely important ballgame in 2011 vs. the Red Sox.
And that's what he did, although it wasn't easy.
To start the game, Sabathia plunked Jacoby Ellsbury with a pitch – which probably sent a lot of skeptics and cynics into saying, "here we go again." But he rebounded nicely, getting Marco Scutaro to ground into a force out before striking out Adrian Gonzalez and Dustin Pedroia swinging to end the frame.
In the second inning, Sabathia threw a wild pitch with Jed Lowrie on first, getting himself into a first-and-second, one out jam (He fanned David Ortiz to open the frame). Boston eventually loaded the bases with two outs, but the Yankee ace responded by getting Ellsbury to ground out to second to end the threat.
The fourth was a bad inning for Sabathia, as he surrendered two runs – one of which came on a solo homer off the bat of Carl Crawford. He also allowed Jarrod Saltalamacchia to score on a double by Scutaro, giving Boston their only two runs in the game.
The Yanks had already put three runs on the board and never trailed.
However in the fifth, he got himself into more trouble. He gave up a one out single to Ortiz, followed by a Lowrie double, setting up the BoSox second and third, one out. But Sabathia continued to refuse to buckle, as he got Crawford to line out and then whiffed Saltalamacchia to end another threat.
The big man labored; worked his tail off to earn the win – six innings pitched, 10 hits, two earned runs, two walks, 10 strikeouts, and he chucked a career-high 129 pitches to get through the game.
If that performance doesn't have the word "Warrior" written on it, what does?
Last year Sabathia came in third in the American League Cy Young Award voting, losing to Felix Hernandez of the Seattle Mariners (who won, coming in first in the voting; 13-12, 2.27 ERA) and David Price of the Tampa Bay Rays (first runner-up; 19-6, 2.72 ERA). Sabathia won 21 games last year while only losing seven, and his ERA was 3.18.
Most proponents for Hernandez's Cy Young win argue that his individual numbers were better than Sabathia's and Price's – and that's true. He led the league in batters faced (1,001), games started (34), ERA (2.27), innings pitched (249 2/3), and hits-per-nine (7.0).
Plus, he was able to post a winning record on a ballclub that gave him virtually no run support, another factor contributing to his winning of the award. Hernandez had a lot going for him; the writers recognized that and rewarded him for it.
I have always maintained that the Cy Young Award should go to the Most Valuable Pitcher – because the award says MOST VALUABLE PITCHER on it.
Sabathia (and Price, for that matter) were more valuable to their respective teams. Sabathia carried the Yankees into the stretch run and helped get them into the American League Championship Series. Price did much of the same. He stood at the forefront of the Rays' pitching staff, leading them to the AL East crown.
There's no doubt that Hernandez had an incredible year in 2010 because the numbers do not lie. Yet, the question has to be asked: if he was on a team (like the Yankees or Rays) that was locked a tight pennant race, would he be the same pitcher?
The Mariners were not going to the playoffs last year. Hernandez could have taken the mound every fifth day with no pressure whatsoever. Win or lose at the end of the day, Seattle wasn't in the running for the AL West. Hernandez probably pitched "hakuna matata," if you will; with no worries in his head.
Sabathia and Price had a lot to worry about, though. Both were the aces of pitching staffs that were going to be playing autumn baseball; they were under much more scrutiny and more likely than not, were thinking hard about the postseason.
But that was last year. Hernandez won. It's over and done with.
With Sabathia's outstanding numbers this year (19-7, 2.99 ERA) he is once again a candidate for the Cy Young Award. His stiffest competition is, without a doubt, Justin Verlander (21-5, 2.34 ERA) of the Detroit Tigers. Verlander has put the Tigers on his back and carried them to first place in the AL Central.
You name the pitching category, Verlander leads it.
I think what is going to win him the award, along with his numbers, is this question: where would the Tigers be without Verlander?
It's a legitimate question. The answer: probably not in first place.
But another question needs to be raised: where would the Yankees be without Sabathia?
Same answer: probably not in first place.
The Yankees have three pitchers in their rotation with losing records. Bartolo Colon is 8-9, Phil Hughes is 4-5, and A.J. Burnett is 9-11. Without Sabathia's 19 wins and brilliant workmanlike efforts, the Yankee ship would be sunk.
I still find it amazing the Yankees are in first place, considering three of their starters don't own winning records. It's pretty incredible that they have been able to continue to win games despite receiving subpar starting pitching at times.
Verlander has a little bit of an edge over Sabathia in terms of the Cy Young voting, as his numbers are a hair above the Yankee ace. Knowing the writers, they will give it to Verlander – and if he does win the award over the big man, I cannot dispute it in any way – certainly not the way Hernandez's Cy Young win can be brought into question .
It was easy to point out why Sabathia (or Price) should have won over Hernandez, but Verlander is for real.
If a pitcher has 21 wins and September just started, he is doing something right.
There are, however, a couple different Yankees who are in consideration for other awards, namely the AL Most Valuable Player Award and the AL Rookie of the Year. Curtis Granderson is leading the majors in runs scored with 125 and in RBI with 107. He is second in home runs with 38 to Toronto's Jose Bautista, who has 40.
The only thing that's killing Granderson is his .271 batting average. If he can raise his BA, he's a shoo-in for MVP.
Meanwhile Ivan Nova (15-4, 3.89 ERA) is up for AL Rookie of the Year. Each of the past two seasons a pitcher has captured the award (Andrew Bailey of the Oakland A's in 2009 and Neftali Feliz of the Texas Rangers in 2010). Nova will hopefully keep the line moving and become the first Yankee to win Rookie of the Year since Derek Jeter won it in 1996.
Last year I truly felt Sabathia deserved the Cy Young. Although he is having a great season, Verlander looks to be the favorite this year. But there are other Bombers who are in the running for league-wide end-of-the-year accolades. If not one player wearing pinstripes takes home an award, I will be thoroughly convinced that…well…
The writers hate the Yankees.

Ibrahim El Batout talks to Screen about his latest film Winter of Discontent.
Ibrahim El Batout's drama Winter of Discontent, starring Amr Waked as an activist in the events leading up to the Egyptian revolution at the beginning of 2010, will screen in the Muhr Arab Feature competition at the Dubai International Film Festival.
How did the film come about?
I missed the early days of the revolution in late January. I was at the Rotterdam Film Festival presenting my film The Juggler (Hawi). When I got back I went straight down to Tahrir Square. I was shocked by what I saw… at once confused and happy… I knew I had to make something. I called Amr [Waked] on Feb 10 and we started shooting the scenes in the square that very day. The next day Mubarak stepped down. We decided we wanted to make something of quality rather than a low budget film. A lot of us – me, the DoP, the actors and other departments – contributed with our salaries to get the film made.
You spent two days shooting on the square before going on to a set to shoot the rest of the film, was it difficult, dangerous?
I was a war correspondent for 18 years, so I know how to deal with people. If you aren't arrogant, respect people and don't hide behind the camera but have eye to eye contact with people, they'll do whatever you want.
As you said, you were a war correspondent for 18 years, was it difficult to transition in to making feature-length films?
Filmmaking was what helped me carry on. I was very disturbed after 18 years of covering 12 wars, psychologically very, very tired. Switching to fiction helped me create a reality I can deal with because the reality I filmed was too harsh. I don't want to go back to covering wars but now the war has come to me.
How did you research the interrogation and torture scenes in the film?
They're based on the accounts of people I know. My brother was tortured. He features at the beginning of the film. He explained to me the details of what happened to him and I reconstructed it. Of course, it was hard shooting those scenes in the sense of creating images of pain and agony and despair.
Egypt's revolution isn't over. Do you think it's a subject you'll tackle again?
I'm not driven by story. I'm not driven by what happens when and to whom. That doesn't inspire me to make films — sometimes it's a scene, sometimes, a picture, an emotion or a mood but it's never telling a story from A to B to C – you can tell stories in different forms — cinema is more sacred than that. Whether I'll do something else about the revolution, it's hard to tell. I'm still processing it intellectually myself. I'm used to living in uncertainty. I like to keep myself undecided. I've discovered lately that I am very much anti-preparation… If I have to get into writing and fund-raising, it kills me big time and it kills my interest in the idea.

KIEV, Ukraine — Ukraine's acting government issued an arrest warrant for President Viktor Yanukovich on Monday and warned the international community that the country needs $35 billion in aid to avert default.
Yanukovich slipped out of Kiev on Friday after signing a European Union-brokered agreement that ended bloody confrontation between police and opposition demonstrators by calling for an interim, multiparty government and early elections to replace the effectively deposed head of state.
The arrest warrant issued by the Interior Ministry said Yanukovich was sought on charges of mass murder for his role in last week's crackdown that killed at least 82 protesters and police. Analysts predicted it was only a matter of time before Yanukovich was captured, claiming that even many of those in his power base in the east of the country had tired of the corruption and self-enrichment of his government.
"A criminal case has been initiated into mass murders of peaceful civilians," acting Interior Minister Arsen Avakov wrote in a post on his Facebook page. "A warrant has been issued for the apprehension of Yanukovich and a number of other officials."
Avakov did not name the other officials.
Yanukovich's arrest wasn't sought sooner than Monday because the opposition-controlled acting government waited 48 hours for the president to sign the constitutional amendments agreed to last week in the presence of international mediators, said political scientist Igor Popov of the Kiev-based Politika Analytical Center.
Popov said a public trial of Yanukovich was necessary to calm the radical faction of protesters who have refused to leave Independence Square and remain armed with shields and clubs, on guard for further confrontation.
After parliament on Saturday freed Yanukovich rival and former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko from prison she appeared before more than 30,000 people at the square.
Tymoshenko, who had been serving a seven-year term on a conviction for abuse of power, a charge regarded by many Western governments as political retribution, spoke of "Yanukovich and his cronies" and the crowd chanted, "Yulia! Yulia! Yulia!"
The parliament set a presidential election for May 25. Officials said an interim coalition government may be formed by Tuesday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, meanwhile, has been virtually silent on the chaos engulfing Ukraine, a vital trade partner and a key piece of Putin's envisioned Eurasian Union, an aspiring economic bloc to rival the EU. Putin was busy hosting the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi until Sunday, and the complexity of Ukraine's internal rupture has probably encouraged the Kremlin to proceed cautiously on its neighbor's turmoil.
Too forceful an approach by Putin to securing Russian industrial and military interests in Ukraine and defending the rights of the 7.5 million minority Russians could encourage secessionist sentiments in the eastern regions, in particular the Crimean Peninsula where Russia's Black Sea Fleet is based. But passively watching from the sidelines while anti-Russian feelings fester among the victorious opposition in Western-leaning Kiev could damage Putin's image as staunch defender of Russian assets and populations in the now-independent states of the former Soviet empire.
President Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have both called Putin over the last two days and cautioned him against any moves that could lead to Ukraine's breakup.
Although Putin has said little about Russia's views on the evolving political situation in Ukraine, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on Monday disparaged the acting officials, many of them elected lawmakers, filling the power vacuum in Kiev until the new coalition government is seated.
"The legitimacy of a whole number of government institutions there evokes serious doubt," Medvedev said of Kiev, the Interfax news agency reported. "If you consider people in black masks and with Kalashnikovs strolling around Kiev to be a government, we will find it complicated to work with that."
Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said Sunday that Moscow was suspending further release of $15 billion in promised loans and subsidies to Ukraine until it was clear who would be running the country. His remarks were a signal that the Kremlin was unlikely to extend the same help to a pro-Western Kiev leadership that it offered Yanukovich as incentive to stay within Russia's political and economic orbit.
Ukraine's interim leaders sounded the alarm Monday on the perilous state of the country's finances, calling for an international donors conference to design a bailout plan. Acting Finance Minister Yuri Kolobov estimated that Ukraine will need $35 billion in foreign aid over the next two years to pay maturing debt and keep government and industries working.
The uprising against Yanukovich began in November after the president's decision to scrap an association deal with the European Union that would have boosted Ukraine's trade with the West and eventually set a path for potential membership in the Western bloc.
On Monday, EU Economics Commissioner Olli Rehn said the association deal was still on offer.
"We are at a historical juncture, and Europe needs to live up to its historical moment and be able to provide Ukraine with accession prospects in the medium to long term — if it can meet the conditions of accession," Rehn said in Sydney, Australia, after a meeting of Group of 20 foreign ministers.
"We are ready to provide substantial financial assistance to Ukraine once a political solution, based on democratic principles, is finalized, and once there is a new government that is genuinely and seriously engaged in institutional and economic reform," Rehn said, referring to the massive waste and corruption that have pushed Ukraine's economy to the brink of bankruptcy.
Loiko reported from Kiev and Williams from Moscow.

My good friend Justin Hostettler-Davies (JHD) aka @JHDAVIES , the same JHD who recently scaled Kilimanjaro, is on the fund raising trail again. I hope you can help him.
Justin with his mountain climbing experience behind him is continuing with his endurance events, he is running the London Marathon this year in support of the MND Association. Rather than ask you to help myself, I think I'll let Justin tell you his sad story:
"Early in 2011, a life-long (over 20 years) friend of mine was cruelly diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. He is only 35 years old and a father of two.
Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks the upper and lower motor neurones. Degeneration of the motor neurones leads to weakness and wasting of muscles, causing increasing loss of mobility in the limbs, and difficulties with speech, swallowing and breathing. Life expectancy is between six months and three years from onset of symptoms.
My friend should be enjoying his young family life but instead he is battling every day to conquer this terrible disease.
My challenge this year is to run the London Marathon 2012 in order to raise vital funds for the MND Association (reg charity no 294354) in an attempt to help make the lives of sufferers and their families a little bit more comfortable in the limited time they have and also to assist with vital research and trials.
If you are in a position to help in any way, via donations or auction/raffle prizes I would be most grateful.
For more info on MND please visit http://www.mndassociation.org/
If you can help Justin in anyway, through sponsorship or donation (please use this link http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/JustinTakesOnLondon) or even if its just a re-tweet of this post to raise awareness of his efforts I think Justin and the MND Association would appreciated it.

If you follow me on Facebook, you know that I am kind in the middle of a summer "brown out," spending time with the kids and generally shirking as much responsibility as possible. However, I wanted to reemerge briefly to tell you/remind you of a great event coming up this Wednesday, June 29.
The Lift on 19th St will be hosting a "book lift-off event" for a delightful picture book, The Magic of the Morning by Laura Lightfoot Tilley. Tilley is a Houston Heights native, who wrote and illustrated the book about a young boy who loves to sleep in until his father convinces him there is, well, magic to be had in the morning. The lift off starts at 6:30 pm, with refreshments and a reading by the author.

Sentry Solutions Armorer's Kit (91100)
SY1100: Armorer's Kit
Sentry Solutions
The Kit Includes:
- SMOOTH-KOTE:Provides excellent lubrication and bore treatment, makes cleaning your gun simple.
- BP2000 POWDER Pure lubricants to fine-tune surfaces of bores, bolts, slides and trigger parts.
- HI-SLIP GREASE A synthetic grease, specifically designed for firearms, that has the benefits of oil but will stay put. Lubricates over a wide temperature range and will not wash off.
- TUF-CLOTH The revolutionary replacement for oil/silicone rags that provides bonded dry-film corrosion protection and lubrication.
Armorers Kit provides users with the latest in dry lubrication technology that enhances ballistic performance of firearms as it cleans and protects. Sentry Solutions products use graphite, molybdenum disulphide and proprietary lubricants to smooth and protect metal surfaces at the microscopic level thus preventing gear from becoming the dust magnets as seen with oil products.
Directions for use
Ensure firearm is unloaded and free of any ammunition. Clean all surfaces of oil, powder/metal residues, rust, dirt, etc. using cleaners such as Gun Scrubber, Quick Scrub, alcohol or other solvents that does not leave a residue. Detail stripping, if possible, is recommended. Allow cleaned surfaces to dry. If any residue is visible rinse surface with rubbing alcohol or similar.
Stir/mix SMOOTH-KOTE thoroughly. Apply SMOOTH-KOTE, one thin coating, to all interior surfaces, including bore. Use brush, cotton applicators, dipping or spraying, etc. To treat the bore apply SMOOTH-KOTE to a clean patch on a tight fitting jag and run it down the bore. One thin coating is what you want. The coating will dry in 2 or 3 minutes and cure in 2 hours at room temperature or when dry you can apply heat for 2 minutes with a hair dryer or similar. For quick clean up of SMOOTH-KOTE use alcohol pads.
Use BP2000 POWDER to fine tune surfaces , such as trigger parts, rails and bolt, etc. Use a patch, pipe cleaner or applicator to rub BP2000 vigorously into the surfaces. BP2000 Powder may be used on its own or in combination with SMOOTH-KOTE or TUF-CLOTH, where BP2000 Powder is applied after the surfaces are dry. Different effects will result from different combinations- for example a double action hammer and sear trigger pull may be lightened up to 20% + when compared to that same trigger being lubricated with oil.
Use HI-SLIP GREASE sparingly (a spot of grease about the size of a pin head) on high load or wear points such as locking lugs and the upper surface of hammer strut springs. HI-SLIP GREASE may be also be used on slide rails and similar, wipe any excess off with a clean patch or similar.
Use TUF-CLOTH& to wipe exterior of firearm, magazines and magazine-well. To maintain firearm, after firing sequence, unload & inspect. Firearm can be cleaned with a dry, nylon-bristle brush.
To maintain your gun after your course of fire: use a dry nylon bristle brush to clean surfaces & bore. A clean patch can be used in the bore. Then touch-up wearing surfaces and bore with SMOOTH-KOTE and or BP2000 Powder. Use the SMOOTH-KOTE precision applicator to touch up the wear points.
NOTE: If using lead ammo, bore may be cleaned using a bronze brush or if needed, bore solvent. Then re-treat bore with SMOOTH-KOTE as above.
TUF-CLOTH should be used to maintain the treated surfaces, the exterior, even wood and plastic components.
Excessive wiping with cloth can remove some SMOOTH-KOTE, BP2000. No solvent needs to be used prior to touching up with SMOOTH-KOTE and BP2000 as long as you have brushed away the dirt. TUF-CLOTH™ provides cleaning & lubrication even to SMOOTH-KOTEs areas.

Sometimes, your mistakes can turn out to be a blessing. That's what Lori and Jeremy Lowell found out when they opened their Gold's Gym franchise in December 2010 in downtown Milwaukee.
Having only operated suburban clubs where child care areas are a necessity, the two determined that their downtown facility also needed child care, but a month after the club opened, only two children had used the child care area. It turns out that the club members at this location were coming in after work and before they drove home to the suburbs and their children.
So, what to do with the 2,500 square feet they had allotted to the child care area? Well, that unused space would soon come in handy when a Planet Fitness opened across the street.
"Although I'm well-versed in what is happening across the country with these low-cost models popping up, nobody in any of our markets had ever come and just smeared it in our face," Lori says. "I got really concerned and very proactive. I knew they would not be able to match our design and amenities, but still, when you have a club opening across the street brand-spanking new, it's unnerving. So we became very proactive and said, 'We're going to go neck-and-neck with these guys.'"
That's where the empty child care area came into play. The Lowells took out the kids area, rebuilt the space with equipment in it and called the area their low-price space. Their advertising began to not only promote the many amenities of their club but also that people could buy a $10-per-month membership to use just the low-price area.
The Lowells found that people who shopped the Planet Fitness across the street also stopped into their Gold's facility to see what they had to offer. After showing the prospects the low-price workout area, the Gold's staff showed them the rest of the club. The award-winning design of the five-story former bank building that overlooks the Milwaukee River proved to be an easy sell for the Lowells. Many of the people who came in for the $10-per-month deal ended up buying a full membership so they could use all the amenities in the club, which include valet parking, executive locker rooms, a saltwater pool, a basketball court, group exercise rooms, a cardio theater and a juice bar.
Sixteen months after opening, the Gold's location has 4,000 members and is hopping, especially on weekdays between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., Lori says.
Concerning her fear that the Planet Fitness would steal away members and prospects, Lori says, "I just refused to sit back and watch it happen. Strategizing really helped, and it helps me with all my fears. I don't have to fear like I used to."
And she also is not afraid to admit a mistake, such as putting a child care area in an urban location, especially when it may have turned out to be one of the best mistakes she ever made.

Katherine Kurre was enchanted by the sight of turtles sunning themselves around the edges of Strack Pond in Forest Park.
But she thought there must be a better and safer way for them to relax out of the reach of curious kids and potential poachers.
"I went online and saw these turtle ramps," said Kurre, an 18-year-old Glendale resident and long-time Girl Scout. "I thought I could put together something like that."
Kurre's environmentally minded project recently helped her net the Girl Scout Gold Award, the group's highest honor.
"I'm really happy it's being used," Kurre said during a visit to the pond earlier this week.
Several varieties of fish, turtles and frogs call the pond home — located just yards from busy Woodhaven Blvd.
Decades ago, the city filled in the kettle pond and turned it into ballfields named for Laurence Strack, the first Woodhaven resident to die in the Vietnam War.
But nature reclaimed the perpetually flooded area and it was eventually restored as a pond.
With the blessing and guidance of the Parks Department, Kurre put together a plan and a team of volunteers, including friends and family members.
They designed and built the turtle island out of composite material. And they also embarked on an ambitious clean-up of the pond area which had been battered by flooding and erosion.
The group fished paving stones out of the pond and reset them into a patio area. They also reclaimed logs that had washed into the pond and rebuilt the low rustic trail fence.
In addition, they removed invasive plants and unclogged some of the streams that feed into the pond.
"It's really beautiful," said Josephine Scalia, the city's landscape project coordinator for Forest Park and Highland Park. "It's great that she came to us with this project. It's really accessible and a site that the park rangers use for education and programming."
Kurre, who graduates from the Mary Louis Academy this month, is headed to SUNY Stonybrook in the fall. Scouting has been a part of her life for 13 years.
"This is a great foundation for young women who are beginning to make their way in the world," said Barbara Murphy-Warrington, CEO of the Girl Scouts of Greater New York.
Kurre is already at work on another turtle island/ramp for the pond — even if the ducks sometime commandeer it for their own use.
"Even seeing the ducks on it is great," said Kurre.

Former Sri Lanka coach Trevor Bayliss has claimed veteran Mahela Jayawardene has been rated in the same batting stratosphere as Australian legend Ricky Ponting.
Jayawardene is eying a special place alongside the legendary Steve Waugh in Friday's first Test against Australia in Hobart.Having already amassed 10,640 Test runs at 50.19, Jayawardene needs just one ton in Hobart to equal Waugh's feat of 32 Test centuries.
By the New Year, Jayawardene could surpass Waugh (10,927) on Test cricket's all-time run scoring list if he tallies 288 runs against the Australians.
An additional 72 runs would see him become the first Sri Lankan to reach 11,000 Test runs, a scoring mountain just six players, Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis, Brian Lara and Allan Border have conquered.
Ponting mastered all conditions in his march to 13,378 Test runs and Bayliss sees strands of the former Australian skipper in Jayawardene.
"He's up there with Ricky, no doubt. Mahela has been superb, like (Kumar) Sangakkara. He has been so good over a lot of years and in all conditions as well," News.com.au quoted Bayliss, as saying.
"One of his great attributes is that he has unbelievable concentration. Once he gets in, he makes a lot of big scores. He can bat all day and I've seen him bat a day-and-a-half to score 200," he added.
"Once he gets in, he is very difficult to remove. He has a fairly simple technique so not a lot can go wrong with him. He is one player Australia will have to dismiss early because if they don't he is capable of going on and making big scores," he said. (ANI)

There are places that will give you unique, magical moments...moments when you think "this is what I've always wanted to feel like". Places made just to suit you and your tastes. La Palma, known as the "isla bonita" (beautiful island), in the Canary Islands, is one of these places.
Turismo de La Palma

Walk through dense forests with giant ferns. Make your way into a crater, known as a 'caldera' (cauldron), and gaze at spectacular deep canyons. Cross the island, with the clouds beneath you and a string of volcanoes. Surrender to the charm of the trails in La Palma.©
Turismo de La Palma
Outdoor astronomy
Drive to the Llanos del Jable Viewpoint. Get out of the car and look up. We warn you: you cannot help being taken by surprise. Get your list of wishes ready for each shooting star you see. That is how the night is in La Palma, the island where they count stars instead of sheep to get to sleep.©

A natural spa
Heat from the black sand flows through the towel, relaxing your muscles. The cool water of the Atlantic Ocean wetting your feet.

Breakfast in the highest peaks…The natural spa that is La Palma.©

Let's go to the beach
Arrive at the beach at any time you like, without having to bother about finding space. Enjoy the sensation of "owning" a whole cove. Wait for just the right wave to come along to play with. Let yourself go on the sand and build a pretty black castle. These are La Palma's beaches.©

Time to eat
Let's start with some pork scratchings and grilled cheese with spicy 'mojo' sauce. Then 'picadillo' soup (chicken broth with ham and egg) and, as a main course, 'papas arrugadas' (baby potatoes boiled in their skins) with spicy 'mojo' sauce and grilled pork. For dessert, 'Bienmesabe' (a sweet made from egg yolks, ground almonds, sugar, etc), 'Príncipe Alberto' (a chocolate cake) or a 'quesillo' (a type of crème caramel). For coffee: 'cortado natural' (small glass of coffee with heated milk), 'leche y leche' (small glass of coffee with condensed milk at the bottom and the rest filled with hot milk), 'condensada' (small glass of coffee with condensed milk), 'barraquito' (with cinnamon, lemon peel and a sweet liqueur) or 'solo' (small espresso). To drink…wine from La Palma, please.©

National Federation of Independent Businesses
Many small business owners are generally familiar with some of the small business tax deductions that can help you save money at tax time, but did you know that Congress recently approved an expansion of a popular tax deduction for small business equipment purchases?
This tax deduction is called the Section 179 deduction, and it was recently expanded to the $500,000 level and made permanent, according to the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (PATH Act). This tax break for small businesses is intended to make it more affordable for small companies to buy business equipment, such as office furniture, vehicles, computers, machinery and other tangible capital investments, by allowing businesses to deduct up to $500,000 per year in qualifying business equipment purchases from their taxable income.Section 179 has been around for several years, but the levels and availability of this tax deduction had been fluctuating. When it was first introduced, Section 179 deductions had an annual limit of just $10,000. Congress kept raising the limit year after year, but then in January 2015, the limit dropped from $500,000 to $25,000. When Congress passed the PATH Act of 2015 in December 2015, they returned the deduction limit to $500,000 and made it permanent � helping to resolve any uncertainty about the rules for this type of small business tax deduction.Want to learn more about how to use this deduction? Register for NFIB's free webinar now >>Businesses were already allowed to deduct the value of eligible business equipment purchases, but under standard rules, they had to deduct only a portion of the value of the equipment each year. For example, if a business purchases $5,000 of new computers, they might have to deduct $1,000 per year for 5 years. Section 179 allows your business to deduct the full value of certain business equipment purchases in the same tax year that the purchases are made, instead of having to depreciate � or deduct the amount in portions � on a year-by-year basis over the useful life of the equipment. This can be a big advantage to your business, because it can enable you to reduce your taxes by a larger amount this year, instead of having to wait several years to get the full tax benefits of buying business equipment.What You Need to Know

According to reports, Taylor will decline an offer to split the captaincy duties with Brendon McCullum when he meets NZC chief executive David White in Auckland.
That will clear the way for McCullum to be confirmed as skipper when the test and Twenty20 teams to tour South Africa are named tomorrow, and Taylor looks increasingly unlikely to be on the plane when the team departs for South Africa next week.
Sources close to Taylor claim he is shattered, in desperate need of a break from cricket and is seriously considering his future, Stuff.co.nz reports.
The stresses of recent months took a huge toll on Taylor, who has a young family and is still dealing with the recent death of his grandmother, with whom he was close.
Taylor's working relationship with coach Mike Hesson was again described as untenable on Wednesday.
NZC's director of cricket John Buchanan is understood to be a Taylor backer.
The test captaincy appears to be an olive branch, particularly after Taylor's man-of-the-match performance in the 167-run win over Sri Lanka in Colombo last week.
The NZC board, which rubber-stamped Taylor's ascent to the top job in June last year, approved the new split-captaincy proposal on Tuesday.
Taylor feels no animosity towards McCullum or his teammates, but feels undermined and hung out to dry by the Black Caps management, particularly Hesson whose friendship with McCullum has been the elephant in the room since the coach succeeded John Wright in August.(ANI)
