Touted as the first Ukrainian designer to present a collection in the United States, 28-year old Veronika Jeanvie's fall couture line debuted at this year's Mercedes-Benz LA Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios in Culver City. The room was filled with press and photojournalists. Sponsors range from Mercedes-Benz, Fred Segal Beauty, Smashbox Cosmetics and Photogenics. In addition, fashion critics, distributors and celebrities such as R&B/Hip Hop recording artist Kelis and actress Dania Ramirez came together to see the Ukrainian designer's latest designs. Also, tapped to be a model for the show was America's Next Top Model Cycle 7 contestant Eugena Washington.
As the lights go down, with nothing left but Jeanvie's signature name luminating in a fuchsia colored background, rock/alternative inspired music, chosen masterfully by Kelly Cuthrone and Alexandre Boulais, help set the mood and 'fashion' the energy of the event as models stomp the runway with intense body language and sex appeal. Jeanvie's designs range from an outrageously sexy gold skin tight body suit with a matching poncho, to a vintage '60s inspired metallic aqua blue diamond-shaped dress as well as an elegant haute couture signature fuchsia gown lined in silver guaranteed to create a stir when worn on the red carpet. The use of silk and lace adds a soft and sleek appeal to some of Jeanvie's garments. Each outfit is accompanied with simple accessories as an accent feature.
Jeanvie enlisted the help of an amazing group of individuals in the beauty industry to create this eye-popping line. Her attention to detail from head to toe on each of the designs was evident.
Lori Taylor's makeup on each of the models along with
Paul DeArmas' (of
Fred Segal Beauty) hair designs were polished and simplistic which coordinated and complimented each outfit beautifully. The outfits were completed with shoes by
Michael Antonio and accessories by
Veronika Jeanvie herself.
Jeanvie's show conveyed an amazing range of styles. Each design definitely had a commonality: symmetrical cuts and basic shapes which made for a simplistic, albeit sexy collection. What really worked for
Jeanvie is the fact that each of the basic shapes, whether it was apparent in her elegant evening wear or her modish and chic style, she made the shapes work to her advantage and created a theme that stood out from your average ordinary designer. With the added use of vibrant colors, each signature piece of
Jeanvie's stands on its own.
At the end of the show,
Veronika Jeanvie took to the stage wearing a black dress with a rounded sculpted skirt outlined in silver. She is joined with one of her models, wearing what appears to be the piece de resistance (or the icing on the cake, if you will) of this fine collection: an elegant blue dress outlined in her signature symmerically cut style.
Jeanvie is all smiles as she takes the stage receiving accolades and thunderous applause.
One thing can be said for sure, is that
Jeanvie presented a variety of styles from different periods and created a collection worthy of attention. She prides on high-quality fabric, great accent and detail as well as stellar technology in making each design, and it definitely shows in her work.

Scorpions – Animal Magnetism (1980)
The glaring omission to my Scorpions collection is, in fact, ANIMAL MAGNETISM. This album has some great songs including: 'Make It Real', 'Lady Starlight', and 'The Zoo'. It's also the beginning of the band's journey into the '80s as 'The Zoo' became a Rock radio and arena favorite. This CD was re-released in 1997 and in 2000, both with the original cover art intact. The dog is missing on the early CD issue in the U.S. due to the controversy of a woman being obedient like a dog. Most early Scorpions covers were changed for U.S. release (see LOVEDRIVE, VIRGIN KILLER, etc.).
To be honest, I'm not really sure why I don't have it because it's everywhere and priced decently. It's probably this availability that has kept me from buying it because "it will be there next time" (As this column grows, you'll notice I say that a lot!). Normally, this is located in the bargain bin at a price ranging from $7.99 to $9.99 and I could pick up 4 or 5 copies at any given time.
Update – 3/18/08
Picked this up on the hunt, read about it here. Paid a decent price = $7 used

Please feel free to use these instructions to make your own layout. You are free to link to this page from any forum etc if you wish. Please do NOT copy this information and/or photos to use for your own classes/forums/webpages without permission.
This is a class that I designed for A Trip Down Memory Lane and at the time of writing this they stock all the supplies you need to make this layout.
Supplies needed:
A2Z paper – Cosmic Blast 2 (Cosmo Collection)
Basic Grey Wholy Cow rub-ons – Urban Border, black
American Crafts Greenhouse Chipboard flowers
7 Gypsies 97% Complete Tag – Parenthesis
Heidi Swapp "Escape" stamp
Making Memories "Brite" brads
Also needed:
Black inkpad (I used Staz'On)
Black pen (I used Zig Millennium)
Black embroidery thread + needle
A few buttons to match your layout and/or photo
Glue (I used Herma and Glossy Accents)
Paperpiercer (or equivalent to mark the holes pre sewing)
Craftknife or scissors
Start by cutting your A2Z paper to size. I scrap in true A4 size so I cut mine to 29,7x21 centimetres. You can of course adapt the class to another format if you like. Before I cut my paper to size, I chose to turn the paper so what is originally the right side, becomes the bottom of my layout.
Take your photo (I used a 7x5/18x13 centimetre photo), place it on your page and use a pencil to mark where you want to cut the paper. Just look at the pattern on your paper and compare to your photo (so you don't cover up something important!).
Then cut the line carefully with a craftknife or scissors.
Insert the photo where you have cut and glue in place.
Take your chipboard flowers and work out what you'd like on your layout. I sometimes took two flowers and layered them on top of each other to create dimension and a different look. In the centres, either place a brad or attach a button with some glue. Pick the rub-on you like best from the Basic Grey sheet and place in bottom right corner, slightly diagonally and overlapping your photo a little if you like.
Write your journaling on the 7Gypsies card (I chose to cut away the little pre-printed text, but you can of course leave this on if you like). Place this, the flowers (see finished layout for suggested placement) and a few buttons (randomly around the photo) on your layout. Do NOT attach yet. You are placing these only to see where you want to do your sewing.
Mark holes with a paper piercer around your photo (like a border). Pre-marking the holes prevents you from creasing your paper once you're doing the stitches. It also makes it a lot easier to get your stitching neat. I choose to alternate (in a random order) just straight stitches and stitches in a cross. At the odd place I added a button into my stitched frame. Also mark 4 crosses (one on each side) that half overlap your journaling card (again see photo of finished layout).
Now get your needle and black thread and do the stitching in the holes you just pierced, and when you come to one of your buttons you just sew that in place too. (I used all 6 strands of my embroidery thread to sew with.)
Finally finish off by stamping "Escape" in the top right corner in black ink and glue your flowers in place.
I hope you enjoyed my class! Wishing you lots of fun creating your own version!

If action movies of the 80s and 90s are my religion, then The Expendables 2 just gave me my last rites. Lionsgate is letting us premiere a new poster that features the entire kick-ass cast assembled along one of the most famous tables in artistic history. While scholars have deciphered Da Vinci's painting "The Last Supper" for centuries, the companion image from The Expendables 2 is more my style, complete with guns, skulls and plenty of booze.
Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Chuck Norris, Dolph Lundgren, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Liam Hemsworth, Scott Adkins and Yu Nan star in the sequel to Stallone's bone-breaking 2010 original film. Directed by Simon West, The Expendables 2 opens August 17th. Hit the jump to see the exclusive poster.
If you had told a 10-year-old me that one day the world's greatest action heroes would be united on-screen for, not one, but two movies, I would have told you eat my shorts (which is what we said in the 90s). It was mind-blowing to see that Stallone had assembled such a fantastic cast for the first Expendables, but the addition of Norris and Van Damme with relative newcomers Hemsworth, Adkins and Yu Nan promises to make the sequel all the more explosive. Check out the synopsis for The Expendables 2 before taking a look at the "male pattern badness" version of "The Last Supper" below:
The Expendables are back and this time it's personal… Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren),Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) — with newest members Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) and Maggie (Yu Nan) aboard — are reunited when Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly simple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries. But when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time – six pounds of weapons-grade plutonium; enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that's nothing compared to the justice they serve against the villainous adversary who savagely murdered their brother. That is done the Expendables way….

HHCom 42
Escape from New Deseret is a science fiction novel, complete at 81,000 words. It is set in a near future where space travel has become affordable for even college students and retirees. Various private groups can and do set up independent Mars colonies, hiding under a fig leaf of government authorization bought from the lowest bidder.
The book follows Octavia Vutrick, a child bride who becomes a determined woman with skills critical to the colony's survival. Unfortunately, her newfound independence puts her at odds with the colony's leadership, endangering not only her life but also the lives of her children.
The colonization of Mars is a perennial favorite in science fiction. There aren't a lot of new books about near-future colonization, and many of the books that do touch on the subject are more focused on the first colony. This book focuses on the frontier days after "first landing" but before full settlement. It is meticulously researched, and set in the Meridiani Terra region of Mars, currently being explored by NASA's Opportunity rover.
Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
Mormons on Mars.
This isn't a hook, this is a query letter.
Any book that uses "perennial favorite" to entice me to read it has missed "fresh and new" as a selling strategy.
Plus this is just same old "coming of age, fighting with your father" stuff gussied up in a space suit.

Mormons are not polygamists. Mormons found practicing polygamy are excommunicated.
While I see you've used "fundamentalist Mormon" to differentiate, you still want to be careful and get your facts right. Why do they need to be Mormons at all? Why not just be a strict fundamentalist family, or members of a fundamentalist sect? You mention polygamy in the next sentence anyway.
(And no, believe me, I am NOT a Mormon.)
- 12/16/2006
I know that this book takes place in the future when the rules of faith could theoretically be different, but to handle Mormonism in this way would definitely offend the Mormons I know. For one, they don't like to talk about the polygamy thing, for another, lots of Mormon women today work outside the home, and for one last thing, many Mormons don't call themselves or their church "Mormon." It's the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
- 12/16/2006
I'd read it for sure; I think it has the potential to be fascinating. There's a reason the coming of age/fighting with your father stuff and colonization of Mars stuff is so ubiquitous, and not necessarily a bad one - they're interesting topics.
But I should say, Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars books set a pretty high bar for Mars colonization stuff as far as I'm concerned.
- 12/16/2006
We don't mind talking about the polygamy thing, but we don't do it. We haven't since the 1800's. Also, women do go to work.
- 12/16/2006
I thought the polygamy thing was somewhat randomly thrown into the mix, but the comments below are not exactly accurate.
Mormons are not polygamists. Mormons found practicing polygamy are excommunicated.
Saying that fundamentalist Mormons are not Mormon is like saying that Mormons are not Christian. Mainstream Mormons don't consider them part of the faith, but the polygamists still follow Joseph Smith's teachings, read the Book of Mormon, etc. And yes, many call themselves Mormons.
I know that this book takes place in the future when the rules of faith could theoretically be different, but to handle Mormonism in this way would definitely offend the Mormons I know.(1) For one, they don't like to talk about the polygamy thing,(2) for another, lots of Mormon women today work outside the home,(3) and for one last thing, many Mormons don't call themselves or their church "Mormon."(4) It's the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
1. So? Many Catholics didn't care for The Da Vinci Code, either.
2. They don't like to talk about it because it's embarassing. And the details were rather sordid. But why should a book shy away from the controversial?
3. Irrelevant, since the author made it clear that it was Mormon FUNDAMENTALISTS.
4. Officially, yes, but everyone in the world uses the word Mormon anyway, including, yes, Mormons.
Having said all that, polygamists in space is not particularly compelling in and of itself. And it's not just KSR that you're competing with, but Ray Bradbury. That's some tough competition.
- 12/16/2006
I'm a Mormon (the standard kind, not the fundamentalist kind), and yes, you're probably going to offend quite a few people with this plot. If you go ahead with it as it is, you'll have to at least make it very clear that fundamentalist Mormons are NOT following official church practices. We consider them to be apostates, actually, and they usually get excommunicated (if they were members of the official church in the first place). But I agree with December--since this is science fiction, why not make up your own fundamentalist group? It would make your readers feel more comfy, and then you could make their beliefs and practices be whatever fits best with your story.
Anon #1:
You're right--Mormons get really tired of everybody harping on about the whole polygamy thing. It's not that it's so embarrassing--we're just sick of it. Yes, we used to practice polygamy. So did the Jews. So did a lot of people. And there were reasons for it. But we stopped more than a century ago.
We don't really have a problem with the term "Mormon", but you're right that it isn't our official name. We usually say "LDS" when talking amongst ourselves but use "Mormon" more when we talk to people of other religions since more people recognize that name.
- 12/16/2006
I wasn't offended. Most of us "mainstream" Mormons are used to both dealing with the "no, we're not polygamists anymore; those are the fundamentalist groups" and the Mormon science fiction bit (think: Orson Scott Card).
The premise of this is okay, but I wouldn't read it anyway because it didn't sound well-done. A good hook about the same novel would've made me pick it up.
- 12/16/2006
scratch this and suck it up. #1 rule don't write anything offensive to race, religion or pets.
- 12/16/2006
Well, since this is my query, I'll address some of these posts. First, on the off-chance that she reads it, I'd like to thank Miss Snark for her work on this blog.
So, on to the comments:
1) Yes, I know who I'm competing against. I've read OSC, Bradbury, and Robinson.
2) Writing about stuff that doesn't offend SOMEBODY sounds boring. If I just made up another (Christian) group, Christians would be offended.
3) Yes, I am aware of the heartburn between mainstream and "fundamentalist" LDS folk. I am also aware that there is a sizable colony of "fundamentalist" polygamists who call themselves Mormons living in Colorado City, AZ today.
Anyway, thanks for your comments (sincerely!)

Hey there, Chris. Work with this thing.
I wrote a short story about fundalmentalist Mormons and vampires (told 1st person from the POV of a young plural wife). MSLEXIA (a UK women's literary magazine) thought it was great and published it in their Oct., 2004 volume.
Anything you write is going to offend somebody. I think your idea's okay, but the hook itself wasn't as good as some of the others. (Mine's still to be shredded, so I may fare even worse than you.)
Keep writing. I'm going to, regardless of how badly I may be ripped into poodle food soon (I'm in the triple digits, so it'll be a bit of a wait).
- 12/16/2006
2) Writing about stuff that doesn't offend SOMEBODY sounds boring. If I just made up another (Christian) group, Christians would be offended.
No kidding. And why would Mormons (of the Mitt Romney flavor, not fundies) care about people giving a hard time to the polygamists? As someone pointed out above, mainstream Mormons gave up polygamy a long time ago.
To Chris. I don't know your background, but make sure you know what you're talking about. If you don't know how these people think and talk, and if you go into the book deciding that they're either evil or brainwashed, then you've failed before you've begun. If you don't have a Mormon background yourself, you might, indeed, be better off inventing your own religious group.
Bonne chance!
- 12/16/2006
I thought it was a well-written hook and a story I'd read.
I'm following the fundamentalist Mormon trial story in the newspaper. I think this isn't just the ordinary girl fights with father stuff. This touches on very current, very real, and very weird stuff. jmho.
And Mormons (whether fundamentalist or not) go everywhere to proselytize. I can definitely see them heading to an early Mars colony.
But I'm not an agent. I'm not in NYC, either, though. And I'm beginning to get a very clear sense that my batting average with Miss Snark's sensibilities is terrible. Unless the query is super-duper fabulous, where everybody loves it, I'm not usually on the same page as Miss Snark. (sigh)
- 12/16/2006
Yes, it's fantastic timing for a story about polygamists. This just might not be the right vehicle for it.
- 12/16/2006
Not touching the Mormon debate...
Even for a query letter, expand paragraphs 1 and 3, since they're about your actual character and plot. Conversely, shorten or delete paragraphs 2 and 4, since they're about your worldbuilding and research, respectively. Any SF agent should already know much of what #4 says, and much of #2 can be implied or worked into a more plot-heavy sentence.
FWIW, I thought the polygamy + Mars colony idea was an interesting juxtaposition.
- 12/16/2006
I used to live by Colorado City, AZ/Hilldale, UT (they are adjoining cities with two similar groups...more strictly observant and the more lax group). Yes, there are Fundamentalists. I saw them all the time. I worked with many. Frankly, they are very real people--and good. Honest, hard-working, and more like Omish than anything. I don't believe the way they do, but they are good people. Their leader is a bit of a hard ball, but overall very good people. And they do not call themselves 'Mormon.' Or even 'Fundamentalist Mormon.' Nor does anyone in the area. My husband lived 20 miles from their town...for 33 years, and I for ten. They just call themselves 'Fundamentalists.' And I would agree with many posters, having many friends from many religions...including a LOT of LDS friends, know who they are before you write about them. Controversy is one thing, incorrect facts and assumptions are another. You want to know about escapees from Fundamentalism...there is a group that helps with rescues. Talk to them.
- 12/17/2006
P.S. The group is called "Tapestry against Polygamy."
- 12/17/2006
There are tons of advantages to creating a fictitious religion and no real downside that I can think of (other than making you possibly come up with a new title).
There's nothing preventing you from saying this new religion was caused by a schism within LDS (adherents of which were excomunicated and forced to leave Earth?) and then to assign all the oppressiveness you like without fear of pissing anyone off.
Hell, it could be some bizarre mash-up of LDS and Islam with a little Old Testament Pissed-Off-God thrown into the mix.
- 12/17/2006
I am insanely ignorant about science fiction, so I want to appologize in advance if this comment isn't relevant.
First off, I think the idea of fundamentalist groups (of any religion) colonizing Mars is entirely plausible. Afterall, that's exactly what happened in the United States. The pilgrims left England because their religious views didn't mesh. Later in history, large groups of Mormons settled in Utah because it was an undeveloped area of land where they could practice their religion in peace.
Second, your use of the phrase "frontier days" brings to mind a Wild West image. I don't know if that was intended, but it could be interesting.
- 12/17/2006
You might want to focus more on the sci-fi and less on what kind of religion the character is from.
I thought it sounded really interesting, for more or less the same reasons as already listed. Depending on what you want to achieve by it, you might want to reconsider describing them as Mormons. By the few hints included, a reader could come to their own conclusion.
As a hook, it wasn't very good. You could all those paragraphs and easily condense it into something much tighter and leaner. A lot of the stuff in it is just padding, and unnecessary. Start with the Mars thing, and focus on the female character. Don't bother justifying the Mars thing, as someone else mentioned, SF agents etc. will get it.
If the book is written well, I'd be interested. It could be right up there with The Left Hand of Darkness and The Handmaid's Tale.
- 12/18/2006
Err, okay, I'm not sure why the Mormon thing is all that big of a deal. I wouldn't bring it up in the hook, but it's interesting as a sub plot in a strange way. I love the premise of the book, those early Mars colonial days are going to be full of disaster (if they ever happen) What bothered me more about the hook was that you glazed over the part where her life and her kids life is in danger. The setting is cool, but it overshadows the dilema she's facing. I think you need to balance the setting description in the hook with the life-threatening thing she's facing.
- 12/18/2006
- Nancy Beck said...
If you do decide not to use the Mormons and instead come up with your own religion, I suggest getting a copy of Victoria Strauss' The Burning Land. She took bits and pieces of different religions, and I think the result is quite good.
I think she also talks about the religions she looked at and what pieces she brought together on her website.
Good luck.

Kim Ki-duk, a Korean movie director and star of international movie festival circuit, appeared on a cable TV Talk Show, "Baik Ji-yeon's People Inside" (PI) Episode 226 (aired on 8/23/2012) and chatted about his latest movie "Pietà." Along the way, he also talked little bit about his movie making philosophy and his perspective on the life itself. Also, in the show, Actress Jo Min-soo who played one of title roles in the movie, joined the chat and shared her thoughts about the movie. Together, they talked about the movie more in detail. Based on what I know and understand, the movie features one of the baddest woman (Jo Min-soo) in the movie history. Opposite Jo Min-soo, Actor Lee Jung-jin plays a merciless henchman for a cruel loan shark. Who could be badder than him? The woman is supposed to be badder than this already bad henchman. Is she going to be like another Hee-jin in the movie "The Isle"? The movie will be world premiered during the 69th Venice International Film festival (August 29 – September 8, 2012).
Filmed in 21 days of incredibly hard work during one of the coldest February-March of Korean history, the movie has many of Kim's signature features such as toughness, cruelty, darkness, confusion, betrayal, violence, fantasy, and hope. After editing the movie, Kim Ki-duk first released a 2-minute trailer in early July 2012, and a very short synopsis. The movie was originally scheduled to go public at the end of August but the invitation from the Venice International Film Festival (VIFF) to be one of the feature films in competition section changed the plan and postponed the release date to early September. Since July, Kim has gradually unveiled his movie through trailers, newspaper interviews and small public promotional events. Although the VIFF's invitation boosted the movie's public exposure and interest, Kim's still played a very cautious and calculated game in marketing his movie throughout this summer.
And again, we get to witness Kim appear on this "shallow" talk show, "Strong Hearts" (SH), as he is determined to utilize the public appearance as one of the marketing pitches for his movie contrary to his previous reclusive attitudes. Of course, this kind of movie marketing is nothing new in the Korean entertainment industry. But the news that Kim will make his first ever appearance on the show surprised me. The man has been known for his shy personality and hermit-like life style for a long time. And his relationship with the general public and film industry members have been rough at best, rocky at worst. He has so far directed and produced all of his 18 movies but has not been successful commercially as most of them flopped at box office except a few. I don't know what made him change his mind this year but he appeared on PI already and is scheduled to appear on SH next week.
On PI, he already hinted his departure from his long standing position to keep himself away from public exposure and it was evident that he's now a changed man and becoming more aggressive in his marketing strategies. As I absolutely feel for this passionate movie director, I hope him to continuously work in this field; but on the other hand, I also feel bad because he's been deprived of opportunities to promote his "small" films. The Korean movie industry has been dominated by way too commercial-minded executives for decades, and no wonder why he's been upset. I'm feeling little uneasy because I understand why Kim had to change and at the same time because I hate to see him change. However, I hope the movie "Pietà" hit the bull's eye so that this talented movie maker can continue to produce many more movies for years to come.

About Ethernet Drivers:
Windows platforms generally apply a generic driver that allows motherboards to recognize the Ethernet component.

If you intend to update the driver version, know that this process can add support for new OSes, fix different compatibility problems, resolve related errors encountered during the product's lifetime, as well as include various other changes.
When it comes to the actual installation procedure, we should note that most producers try to make it as easy as possible, so following the steps should be a breeze: just get the downloadable package, run the setup, and follow the on-screen instructions.

Married when the year is new
He'll be loving kind and true.
When February birds do mate
You need not fear your fate.
If you wed when March winds blow
Joy and sorrow both you'll know.
Marry in April when you can
Joy for the maiden and the man.
Marry in the month of May
And you'll surely rue the day.
Marry when the June roses grow
Over land and sea you'll go.
Those who in July do wed
Must labour for their daily bread.
Whoever wed in August be
Many a change is sure to see.
Marry in September's shine
Your living will be rich and fine.
If in October you do marry
Love will come, but riches tarry.
If you marry in bleak November
Only joys will come, remember.
When December's snows fall fast
Marry and true love will last.
Old English Rhyme

Business was booming for new releases Hotel Transylvania and Looper over the weekend at the box office.
The animated film from Adam Sandler grossed an estimated $43 million in its first weekend and set a new record for the biggest September opening, according to Box Office Mojo. Sci-fi time travel film Looper, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis, took second place, snatching $21.2 million in its debut weekend.
Box Office: House at the End of Street and End of Watch tie for first place
End of Watch, which narrowly beat the competition to take the top spot last weekend, fell to third with $8 million. Trouble with the Curve followed at No. 4. Completing the top 5, House at the End of the Street scared up another $ 7.15 million.
The new acapella movie Pitch Perfect hit the right note with audiences, taking in $ 5.2 million from just 335 theaters to grab sixth place. The other new release of the weekend, Won't Back Down, broke a record as well — for second-worst opening ever after it earned $2.6 million to rank tenth.
Rounding out the top 10: Finding Nemo 3D (No, 7, $3.9 million), Resident Evil: Retribution (No. 8, $3.0 million) and The Master (No. 9, $2.7 million).

Shellie Zimmerman on George Zimmerman's innocence: I have doubts
Shellie Zimmerman tells 'Today Show' she doesn't know husband
Shellie Zimmerman told the "Today Show" on Thursday morning that she doesn't know her husband any more and has doubts about his innocence.
It was her first interview since their domestic dispute earlier this month.
Earlier this month, Shellie Zimmerman called 911 claiming her husband was getting violent with her father. She recorded the argument on her iPad. Her attorney claims George Zimmerman smashed the device in anger.
She said she stands by her story that she thought he had a gun during the dispute.
"I did not see a gun, but I know my husband. I saw him in a stance and a look in his eyes that I've never seen before," she said. "He was putting his hand in his shirt and saying, 'Please step closer, please step closer.'"
She said she regrets not pressing charges after the incident but said she didn't want any more legal issues.
She said she has doubts about his innocence in his second-degree murder trial but believes the justice system worked. She also was adamant that her husband did not profile Trayvon Martin.
"I think anyone would doubt that innocence because I don't know the person that I've been married to," she said.
Shellie Zimmerman has filed for divorce, but her attorney said they have not been able to serve the paperwork because they don't know where George is. She said she is focusing on herself now and has lost 40 pounds since the trial.

Katie Leung is a Scottish actress who portrays Cho Chang in the Harry Potter films.
Personal life
Katie was born on Aug 8, 1987 in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire to Peter and Kar Wai Li Leung. Her parents are now divorced, and she currently resides with her father (a native of Hong Kong), three brothers named Will, Darren, and Jonathan, and a sister (Violet). Her father runs a restaurant in Glasgow, as well as a wholesale business in Chinese cuisine. Besides English, Leung can also speak Cantonese and some Mandarin. Leung attended Hamilton College, a Scottish private school in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire. She currently lives in London. Katie has visited various countries including: America, Japan, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Turkey.
Leung's father saw an advertisement for a casting call for the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and suggested she try out. She waited for a total of four hours in line before she got in. Her audition only took five minutes and she heard nothing further for two weeks; she was then called for a workshop and thereafter got the part of Cho. She was selected for the role of Cho after beating over 4,000 other girls (including actresses Courtney Webb and Michelle Ang) in an open call audition in London for girls of East Asian appearance. She stated in an interview with the Daily Record that her Scottish accent probably gave her an edge in the casting room by making her stand out.
Daniel Radcliffe, the actor who plays Harry Potter, said he found Katie to be "awesome" and a "really amazing actress". Her best friend on set has been said to be Bonnie Wright who portrays Ginny Weasley in the films. Leung delayed plans to go to art college and university in order to film Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. In the film, Katie and Daniel share an on-screen kiss, a fact that received much media attention. When asked whether she will be back for the sixth film, Leung responded, "I don't think so. Cho's mentioned briefly in the books, but they try to cram so much into the films that I don't think there'll be room for her." Leung has also provided the voice of Cho Chang in the video game adaptations of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. In July, 2007, Katie was asked by Gold Label Records, a well known record company in Hong Kong, to play a main female character in a music video for a song called Love Coming Home (愛回家) by Leo Ku. Leung agreed as soon as she received the invitation, and filmed the movie in London in between busily promoting the new Harry Potter film. Leo described Katie's acting as "professional" and "mature". In September 2008, Leung made her television debut as schoolgirl Hsui Tai in the episode "Cat Amongst The Pigeons" of the series Poirot, based on the novels by Agatha Christie.
She is appearing in the upcoming film T2: Trainspotting, also starring Kelly Macdonald and Shirley Henderson.

LITTLE ROCK � With control of the Legislature on the line, the state Democratic and Republican parties are targeting a number of races they believe are key to tipping the scales in the November general election.
LITTLE ROCK � With control of the Legislature on the line, the state Democratic and Republican parties are targeting a number of races they believe are key to tipping the scales in the November general election.
Two years ago, Republicans won more seats in the House and Senate than they have held since Reconstruction, though the GOP wave left Democrats still holding slim majorities in both chambers. Republicans say they expect to win control of both chambers this year, while Democrats say they expect at least to maintain the majorities they have now, if not expand them.
Democrats now hold 53 of the 100 House seats and 20 of the 35 Senate seats. One House seat is vacant because of the recent resignation of Democrat Hudson Hallum of Marion.
Throwing an extra element of uncertainty into the mix is that the boundaries of all 135 districts were redrawn during the once-every-decade redistricting process last year, so even members seeking to return to the Legislature are not running in exactly the same districts they used to represent.
Among the Democrats targeted by Republicans for defeat is Rep. Leslee Milam Post of Ozark. The freshman legislator, wife of Post Winery President Andrew Post, won her seat in 2010 after her Republican opponent was ruled ineligible.
Her Republican opponent in the current race is Bill Gossage of Ozark, assistant superintendent of the Ozark School District. Gossage has worked in education for 31 years.
�She�ll be overwhelmingly defeated,� state Republican Party Chairman Doyle Webb predicted. �The only reason that she won (in 2010) is that her opponent was struck from the ballot and his votes were not counted. So she has never won election by a majority of people in that district.�
State Democratic Party Chairman Will Bond acknowledged Post is running in a Republican-leaning area but said she has �a great record� as a legislator, having helped pass �the largest tax cut in Arkansas history� and increased funding for public schools, among other things.
Harrelson-Hickey Race
Another Democrat targeted by Republicans is Sen. Steve Harrelson of Texarkana. A lawyer, Harrelson served three terms in the House before running for the Senate two years ago after term limits prevented him from seeking another House term.
Harrelson was one of the House�s most prominent members, serving as chairman of the powerful House Judiciary Committee as well as majority leader.
His Republican challenger is William Hickey Jr. of Texarkana, a former banker and Texarkana School Board member who now runs a construction and rental property business.
�We believe that Hickey will do a great job. He�s a great local businessman down there, and we have focused a lot of resources in that race to assist,� said Webb.
Webb said the GOP believes Harrelson�s voting record, which includes a vote to raise the state tobacco tax in 2009, is �out of step with the people in his district.�
The 56 cents-per-pack tobacco tax hike was pushed by Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe as a way to fund a statewide trauma network and other health programs. It passed with a three-fourths vote in both chambers of the Legislature.
Bond said Harrelson will retain his seat. He called Harrelson �an energizer� who worked to keep jobs at the Cooper Tire plant and create jobs at the $2 billion Turk coal-fired power plant under construction in the district.
Harrelson made headlines for an incident unrelated to his legislative work after he was involved in a fight in his home with his estranged wife�s boyfriend in May 2011. Police were called to the home but did not file any charges, and Harrelson went on to win a Democratic primary contest with Rep. Larry Cowling of Foreman, in May of this year.
Eastern, Central Arkansas Races
Observers say sitting Democratic Sen. David Wyatt of Batesville faces a tough challenge from Republican Rep. Linda Collins-Smith of Pocahontas.
Wyatt, Independence County judge for two decades, served two terms in the state House before first being elected to the Senate in 2008. Collins-Smith, who sells real estate, was elected to the House in 2010 as a Democrat but switched to the Republican party last year.
Collins-Smith is �a fierce campaigner,� said former state Sen. Paul Miller, D-Melbourne. �She will work hard.�
Miller said state and local issues are taking a back seat to President Barack Obama in Collins-Smith�s campaign.
�I think you�ve got a lady who is going to use the anti-Obama plank,� he said. �That�s her plank, anti-the health care bill. Then you�ve got Sen. Wyatt who is going to somehow have to defend something he really doesn�t have anything to do with much. It�s a federal issue, mostly.�
Sitting Republicans whom Democrats have targeted include Sen. Jason Rapert of Conway, who is in a contest with Rep. Linda Tyler of Conway.
Rapert, owner of an investment firm and a first-term senator, drew criticism from Democrats in the 2011 session when he sponsored a resolution that proposed a constitutional convention for the purpose of amending the U.S. Constitution so that the debt ceiling could not be raised without approval of the states.
Tyler, owner of a frozen yogurt store and a second-term House member, drew criticism from Republicans during the same session when several bills that proposed restrictions on abortion were squelched in the House Public Health, Welfare and Labor Committee, which she chaired.
Bond said Tyler has a strong record as a responsible legislator and businesswoman, while Rapert �has proved himself to be kind of on the extreme of the Republican Party.�
Rapert said Bond �should apologize for using that kind of inflammatory rhetoric.�
�The face of the matter is, when was the last time that a guy that wants to create new jobs, who is pro-life, who opens a business in Conway, invests in Conway, who has been endorsed by the NRA and stands up for traditional values, when has that been extreme in Arkansas?� Rapert said.
Webb said GOP polling shows that Rapert has �a commanding lead� in the district. He said Tyler�s record as chairman of the Public Health Committee has earned her a reputation as �one of the most liberal legislators in the Arkansas Legislature.�
Tyler said she really does have �a pretty conservative voting record.�
Sebastian County Candidates
Democrats also have targeted Sen. Bruce Holland, R-Greenwood, for defeat. Holland, a cattle rancher and first-term senator, is in a contest with Rep. Tracy Pennartz, D-Fort Smith, who owns a health-care consulting firm and is term-limited in the House after serving three terms there.
�We think there�s a great contrast there between those two candidates,� Bond said. �Tracy has a great record as a lawmaker, of course. Bruce Holland has a record for having problems with the law and fleeing police.�
Holland pleaded no contest in February to charges of fleeing, careless driving and improper passing in connection with a January 2011 incident in which authorities said he led officers on a high-speed chase through Perry and Yell counties.
Webb said the fleeing incident will not be the issue that decides the race.
�I think people are interested in jobs and the economy and taxation,� he said.
Other Races
Also drawing attention is a race between Searcy Police Chief Kyle Osborne, a Democrat, and first-term Rep. Mark Biviano, R-Searcy, who sells real estate and serves as policy committee chairman for the Republican House Caucus.
In May 2011, a woman reported to Little Rock police that she was the victim of a hit-and-run accident involving Biviano. Biviano said at the time that after the accident he exchanged insurance information with the woman and then left, thinking the matter had been taken care of. No charges were filed.
Neither Biviano nor Osborne returned calls seeking comment.
Former Democratic lawmaker John Paul Capps of Searcy, who served 18 terms in the state House, including one term as speaker, and four terms in the Senate, said the Biviano-Osborne race appears to be centered around taxes, with Biviano touting his signing of a no-tax pledge and Osborne arguing that taxes should not be eliminated as a possible tool.
�Usually the incumbent is favored, but I think this is going to be very close,� Capps said.
Although Beebe is not on the ballot, Democrats are invoking his name frequently on the campaign trail.
�Arkansans know that the state has done incredibly well under the leadership of Gov. Beebe, and I don�t think they want to pit Beebe against a Republican-held House and Senate,� Bond said. �We want to continue that progress.�
Republicans frequently mention Obama. Webb said Beebe�s refusal to fight the federal health care overhaul, steps taken by Beebe and the Legislature to implement a federally mandated health insurance exchange and Beebe�s support for expanding Medicaid under the federal health care law have made Obama and the health care debate legitimate state issues on which Republicans can campaign.

I love thick and squishy baby blankets. They keep babies cozy in cold weather, of course, and they're fast to knit, which is always a welcome bonus; but, best of all, they are perfect floor mats for young babies who haven't yet discovered their locomotive skills. I'm always reaching for the plushest blankets I have so I can set Bear down wherever I need to be. I get to keep an eye on him, and he gets to experience new vantage points from his luxurious travelling rugs.
Spud & Chloe's Outer is the ultimate yarn for this purpose. A blend of superwash wool and organic cotton, it is honestly soft enough for sensitive baby skin. It makes a bulky blanket with wonderful loft and padding, as well as rustic beauty.
The borders are made out of Spud & Chloe's Sweater yarn doubled. Also a superwash wool/cotton blend, I used it because it comes in lots of great, kicky colors and gives a nice neat finish to the edges. –Whitney

Seed Stitch Version
Using the Main Color and US #15 needles, cast on 51 stitches.

Bind off in k1, p1 pattern, and weave in the ends.
Garter Stitch Version
Using the Main Color and US #15 needles, cast on 53 stitches.
Knit every row until you have used all 4 skeins of yarn, leaving enough to bind off.
Bind off and weave in the ends.
The Border (for Both Versions)
Note: For the Border, use the Contrast Yarn DOUBLED. You can either pull from the inside and the outside of one ball of yarn, or pull one strand from each of two balls.
With the Contrast Yarn and a 40 inch, US #13 needles, begin the border at any corner:
*Pick up 60 stitches to the next corner, place a marker, repeat from * until you have returned to the beginning corner. For the last marker, use a different color in order to indicate the beginning of the round. (240 stitches)
The border is knit in the round. Join the round by knitting into the first stitch you picked up.
Round 1: Knit.
Round 2: *K1, make 1 right, knit to the next marker, make 1 left, slip the marker, repeat from * to the end of the round. (8 stitches increased)
Rounds 3 and 4: Repeat Rounds 1 and 2. (256 stitches)
Round 5: Knit.
Round 6: Purl.
Round 7: Knit.
Round 8: *K1, k2tog, knit to 2 stitches before the next marker, ssk, slip the marker, repeat from * to end of round. (8 stitches decreased)
Rounds 9 and 10: Repeat Rounds 7 and 8. (240 stitches)
Now is a good time to weave in any ends.
To finish the border, fold it over so the purl sides are facing each other and:
1. Pick up the purl bump (from the pick up round) that is directly in line with the first stitch on the left needle.
2. Slip the purl bump onto the left needle.
3. Knit two together (the purl bump and the first "regular" stitch).
(At the beginning of the round, repeat these three steps one more time so that you are able to do the next step.)
4. Slip the second stitch on the right needle over the first (just like binding off).
Repeat these 4 steps all the way around the border. (Tip: Check frequently that the stitch you're picking up is still in line with the first stitch on the left needle, otherwise the border will start to skew.)
Weave in the ends and you're done!
