Interview: Kyle Chandler and Jennifer Ehle of 'Zero Dark Thirty'
'Some of ("Zero Dark Thirty") is very, very difficult to watch ... but we were all complicit in it.'
He's best-known for playing Coach on the TV iteration of "Friday Night Lights"; she's a British actress who first made an impression on U.S. audiences with her smart, skillful work in "Contagion" this year. Now, in Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty," they play CIA employees -- strategists and field agents -- on the trail of Osama bin Laden; we spoke with the two in New York about the challenges of telling the story and the deeper moral complexity of the film's seemingly swift-and-simple storytelling.
MSN Movies: What's the one thing you learned doing this film that you didn't know from all of the public knowledge about the death of Osama bin Laden?
Kyle Chandler: That's a good question. I don't think there's one specific thing. I think that my answer would be that it took me back to all the specific details put together in a compilation. I had forgotten a lot of my past over the past ten years. And I'd forgotten a lot of the story and a lot of the pieces that went along with it. Even this morning I was looking at 9/11 itself, which is a spot for you to begin this that is so powerful that gives you the weight of these characters already and what they're doing. But just looking at it when you look at the different places that were attacked -- the planes, the Pentagon, the Towers, the first responders ... I'd forgotten as a whole, you know? I don't think I wanted to know. And as you watch the film ... I want to say that I know but it's not something that you think about. It's there.
It's a historical knowledge, but not a visceral one.
Chandler: Yeah. You get into this. The first minute and thirty seconds of the film take you to a spot that is uncomfortable, and you're uncomfortably morally asking a lot of questions, I think, throughout the film, but they're honest questions. And at the end of the film I think you're asking yourself, "Okay, now what? What's next?" Within all that, within what the story is about -- the greatest manhunt after one of the worst tragedies in our history -- it's hard to say that it's entertainment, but it's a great story that is told so seamlessly and beautifully and crafted so well by Kathryn and Mark. And within all that context you've got just a great damn film.
BING: Kyle Chandler l Jennifer Ehle
There's a great quotation from George Orwell who says we sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready to horrible things to those who would harm us. Was one of the pleasures of signing up for this film getting to bring to life some of the rough women who stand by protecting our way of life from people who would harm us?
Jennifer Ehle: Well, it is rare to play a woman who is not defined by her relationship to a man. To play a woman who is defined by her relationship to her work, and for it to be such extraordinary work, and then to get an opportunity to portray that in a setting by Mark Boal interpreted by Kathryn where these characters don't ... nothing in the movie is done as if anybody's doing heroics, including the SEAL Team. It is all the day-to-day work. And what is fascinating about this movie is they kind of removed the fourth wall and given us a chance to see what was going on over the last 11 years. And it's all of our story in a way, but a lot of it is a revelation 'cause it's fascinating, and I don't think we don't get many opportunities to watch what those rough men are doing. And some of it is very, very difficult to watch ... but we were all complicit in it.

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
Child of a day, thou knowest not
The tears that overflow thy urn,
The gushing eyes that read thy lot,
Nor, if thou knewest, couldst return!
And why the wish! the pure and blest
Watch like thy mother o'er thy sleep.
O peaceful night! O envied rest!
Thou wilt not ever see her weep.

Off Salisbury Plain you briefly pass civilisation via a short stretch of road and a pub. The next section is a bit of a shock as you find yourself on a deeply rutted track and facing the question of balancing along the middle or down in foot-deep ruts, some of which are inches from ditches This was the only section where walkers were really annoying, as in some places you had to ask them to move aside so you could pass.
Then on to a farm road You approach the finish up a stony track. Some people complained about this last hill (small compared to what's come before, but it is sharp right at the end), but I loved it. There was actually a nice stretch of turf running alongside. The best running surface the whole way in my opinion, and I ran up it!
Over the top, and in site of the finish below, you turn into a field. And another nasty surprise It's full of huge grass tussocks! Perfect ankle turning facilities By now I'd been spotted, and someone with a loudspeaker was announcing my arrival! With a welcome like that I had to run didn't I? However a straight course was impossible. I ran slowly and carefully along a meandering animal track towards the finish where several of the staff gathered to clap me in.
After that the announcer turned to the walkers coming in (including a gang dressed as Roman centurions who I'd talked to a few times (they were walking, but fast, which meant for a while my runs took me ahead, then they caught me again on my walks!). I got my medal, which is one of the best I've had, some food and a drink, all free. The food was delicious veggie stuff: a pita with humus, pizza, and I think some cake. Then it was on to my free visit to Stonehenge, which I've reviewed separately.
All in all I wouldn't recommend the Neolithic for those looking for a personal best. I'd also say for a first marathon you'd be better on an easier course (like London!). But for a challenge and for organisation and atmosphere it's hard to beat. Definitely a must do.

Fox, for the first time, will air a repeat of "American Idol." It will re-air season eight's Michael Jackson themed edition on Monday from 8 to 10 p.m. As a recall, here were the performances that week:
Lil Rounds – "The Way You Make Me Feel" (Michael Jackson)
Scott MacIntyre – "Keep the Faith" (Michael Jackson)
Danny Gokey – "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" (Michael Jackson)
Michael Sarver – "You Are Not Alone" (Michael Jackson)
Jasmine Murray – "I'll Be There" (The Jackson 5)
Kris Allen – "Remember the Time" (Michael Jackson)
Allison Iraheta – "Give In to Me" (Michael Jackson)
Anoop Desai – "Beat It" (Michael Jackson)
Jorge Núñez – "Never Can Say Goodbye" (The Jackson 5)
Megan Joy – "Rockin' Robin" (Michael Jackson)
Adam Lambert – "Black or White" (Michael Jackson)
Matt Giraud – "Human Nature" (Michael Jackson)
Alexis Grace – "Dirty Diana" (Michael Jackson)
MJ, that workhorse, compiled more than 30 comments about MJ by various Idols off Twitter.
Here are a few:
Anoop Desai: Michael Jackson was one of my first musical influences, and I am reeling from his loss. The man epitomized pop music
Chikezie: Tender love and care… MJ, the vultures did NOT win, you will live on. R.I.P.
Kris Allen: This is one of those moments in time you will never forget
Chris Richardson: Tears falling everywhere right how… My idol gone. Michael Jackson thank you for making me fall in love with music…
Michael Sarver: The news of Michael Jackson has sucked the life out of the idol rehearsals. I am shocked and stunned.
Matt Giraud: I'm sending out my prayers and thoughts to my biggest musical influence, Michael Jackson. A true inspiration.
-Adam Lambert is none too pleased with the release of some of his older work. His latest statement:
Last Friday I was surprised to find out that songs I recorded back in 2005 were being released. Since then I discovered the entire track listing, revealed online today. I was shocked to learn that songwriting demos of songs that I co-wrote and recorded over the past few years may be released in an album. Like a rough draft that a writer does before finishing a book, I did not intend my work on these demos to be heard by the public. I was unaware that anyone intended to release these recordings until I heard about it in the press, and I'm very disappointed by this entire situation.

Good morning everyone.
I must admit to being very meloncholy today. Ihave lost three huge pieces of my childhood this week, and it truly has me very introspective this morning. BEing only 2 years younger than Michael Jackson has really made me look at my own mortality, I guess that happens when one just drops dead like that.
Anyway I found this article really hits home – a whiole generation has lost 2 (and I say 3) of it's icons this week. I am not so sure I would call them heroes as the article does, but still I think this article is a masterpiece in some ways:
As I look back this is what I see and am feeling:
Ed McMahon was the man who put me to sleep every night as he Hiyoed his way through my teen years.
Farrah Fawcett was the woman who fueled my hormone driven teenage dreams as she smiled down at me from my bedroom wall.
And Michael Jackson was the soundtrack to those years.
I truly feel like a part of me has died along with them.

I posted this on the revious thread for those who didn't see it.
In Memory of Farrah Fawcet
Why did she have to go
So young I just don't know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason without rhyme
Lovely, sweet young woman
Daughter, wife and mother
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
Loved ones she left behind
Just trying to survive
And understand the why
Feeling so lost inside
Anger shot straight at God
Then asking for His love
Empty with disbelief
Just hoping that maybe
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
It's hard to say goodbye
Her picture in my mind
Will always be of times I'll cherish
And I won't cry 'cause
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
Don't worry 'bout me
Don`t worry 'bout me

Again, this was posted the previous thread.
In Memory of Michael Jackson:
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination, girl!
But all the while you hear the creature creeping up behind
You're out of time
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, girl
Thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
Night creatures calling, the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time
(They're open wide)
This is the end of your life
They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side
They will possess you unless you change that number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together, yeah
All through the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen
I'll make you see
That this is thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a
Killer, diller, chiller, thriller here tonight
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller, ow!
(I'm gonna thrill ya tonight)
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'alls neighborhood
I'm gonna thrill ya tonight, ooh baby
I'm gonna thrill ya tonight, oh darlin'
Thriller night, baby, ooh!
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

Michael Jackson was a tremendous talent no doubt about that and I hate to sound cold hearted but he was also a pedophile which dulled his shining star to a dim light in my eyes.
June 26th, 2009

A jury found Michael NOT GUILTY, he was an easy target for opportunists. A gentle soul who chose his battles carefully, there was no way he could recover from these allegations , a no win situation. Shame on you KPH.

Once again we'll go through the same thing we had to go through when Anna Nicole Smith died. A year ago no one wanted to work with MJ and when you said his name the first thing that came to mind was that he was a man that probably enjoyed having sex with young boys. Now we have all these co called celebrities who, through their press agents, are issuing their condolences to a man they thought was career poison just a few short months ago. He's another celebrity and at least this time, one that had some valid talent, who abused their body with drugs and surrounded themself with scab like people that would sell their own mother to hell for money and fame. I can't begin to imagine the circus the family will create around his death and how they can make a fast buck. When was the last time Tito had a hit? They lived off the MJ legacy and now it's up for grabs. I dread the next two weeks of the media we'll have to endure.
June 26th, 2009

Michael Jackson, as I've said before, seemed to have been 2 different people.
One we loved and one we didn't.
It seems odd that we can point to 3 different American icons who had tremendous success then tumbled into a strange world.
Howard Hughes, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson all became symbols of success based on true talent and innovation, then came to the end of their lives while living in a swampland of their own eccentricities.
The Michael Jackson I loved began to disappear in the mid-nineties. What emerged was a bizarre man/child who had succumbed to his own insecurities and foibles. The bizarre nature of his way of living, the child molestation accusations which, although not proven in a court of law, were all but confirmed by the huge payments Michael made to his accuser, and his intense aversion to media attention while all the while, demanding it, made Michael into the eccentric he had become.
Only an overwhelming respect for his previous work kept the media and the public from vilifying him outright.

Why does Rodney always credit MJ for her work and then take other's stuff like the LA Times video w/o giving them proper credit?
June 26th, 2009
9:01 am
Yes, it's true a jury found Michael Jackson not guilty, just as a jury found OJ Simpson not guilty. Celebrities are seldom found guilty. Only one I can think of in recent memory is Phil Spector who was found guilty of murdering an actress, and that conviction came six years after he killed the woman.
And MJ did pay 20 or if it was 25 million dollars to keep another kid from talking to a jury.
Look forward to the re-airing of the MJ tribute on Idol. Oddly, when I first heard about his death, the song that popped into my head was Adam Lambert's "Black or White".
June 26th, 2009
9:02 am
I agree – to a certain extent – with Bubbles. Listening to celebs (like Joe Pesci and "Ginuwine" calling in to shows to share their feelings. Bigmouth Al Sharpton holding a press conference outside the Apollo Theater. It's sickening how so many people use the death of someone to get face time.
I'm glad that shows like "Entertainment Tonight" had already produced their shows – that gave Farrah the coverage she deserved.

We lost 3 GREAT PEOPLE in my history this week & for that I am truly & deeply SADDEN.

Okay. I agree with Deirdre. I didn't ever really like Michael Jackson much — wasn't much of a fan of him as a young performer– the J5 weren't my cuppa tea, as it were, and wasn't much of a fan of the video michael era — recognized the innovation and creativity, and found a couple of them extremely entertaining from the dancing perspective. Didn't hate him then, just didn't care for him — but i DID recognize he was a moving force in the industry. His foibles of later years i abhored — "guilty" verdict or "not guilty" verdict there were too many questions left unanswered. and waaaay too many public "weird things" happening (the towel over the baby's head, the baby on/off/over the balcony, stuff like that)
Having said that, there's NO reason to either HATE on Michael OR to hero-worship him, imho. He was a talented performer, obviously creative, daring in ways no one thought of BEING daring (professionally) at a time when the industry DESPARATELY needed innovation.
I think, given that he's now gone to meet his Maker, who will be the only judge that ultimately counts, and to whom a lie is transparent and the truth solid, we can "not speak ill of the dead" and let him slip away into that dark night…
and supernes i'm not even sure what you're talking about not giving credit but obviously you only care about trying to stir up negativity — why bother?

Isn't it funny how the (television) media have such a hard time keeping more than one ball in the air. Farah Fawcett's death trumps the SC gov scandal, MJ's death trumps Farrah's. And nobody remembers the brave Iranians fighting their crooked regime anymore.

9:42 am
Even though some people were not MJ fans, me included, I hated to hear of his passing. No one can take away what a consummate entertainer he was. It's a shame that his life became in shambles and he lived the way he did. But, I honestly think he made some bad choices that resulted in his lifestyle. As someone stated above, his family will use his death to capitalize on wealth, I find that a bunch of crock. His children lost their father, his siblngs lost a brother and he was lost as a son (not sure if his parents are still living). The wealth his family will receive from his death is the fact he was FAMILY and they loved him, regardless. Love is supposed to be unconditional. Any death is tragic, so one must accept and deal with it the best way possible for them. My heart breaks for his children and family, as the hardest part5 is yet to come. Trust me on that, I've been there on more than occassion.

I always think of Farrah in a movie called Small Sacrifices in which she played a real life woman who had murdered her children because her boyfriend didn't want kids. She was chilling and wonderful in that role.

Over the past month or so I've made visits to funeral homes for three of my friends and missed the wake for a couple more. The world did not stop nor even mourn their passings, yet they contributed to the world just like Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson and they will be missed by family and friends just as these three "icons" in show business. Through fault of their own, these three became bigger than life in the eyes of some but in the end they all passed through death's door as we all must do. It is not my intent to lessen the impact that these three people had on the world but it IS my intent to help us all recognize that our families and friends should have the same impact on us personally. Show your love today to those in your life, maybe even some that have no idea of the impact they are having on your life. Prepare yourself for your own trip through death's door and be certain that you've done all you need to do to reach heaven's destination. Rest in peace Ed, Farrah, and Michael. Your mortality brings to mind the fact that we are all the same on the human scale.

Oh and as for the comment regarding the rehearsal song not being all that good, it is a REHEARSAL, designed to see how it did sound and to make improvements before they hit the road. Michael Sarver's twitter lets everyone know just how much time is being spent in the rehearsal before the American Idol tour hits the road.
June 26th, 2009
10:12 am
CoastDawg…our family and friends DO have the same impact on us personally…they are not nationally known so they don't get recognition.
When my dad died, I didn't come on the blog expecting everyone to mourn his death, sing his praises, and collect their memories of him…they had no memories of him.
Please don't think that, because everyone this side of East Podunk Junction knows and remembers, Michael, Farrah and Ed that it somehow diminishes the passing of loved ones.
June 26th, 2009
10:13 am
Well said CoastDawg. The bottom line is that they ALL had family that will miss until they leave this world and travel into worlds unknown to living men.
Deirdre, FF was also good in the Burning Bed. I saw both of those movies and she played a heck a part. She was a better actress than she was given credit for.

June 26th, 2009
11:07 am
Thanks for your words CoastDawg. We must all treasure our family members and friends and tell them often how much we love them.
Fond memories of the 3 entertainers: How I couldn't wait to watch Star Search and see the talent and how great of a host Ed McMahon was. And who didn't want to be one of Charlie's Angels? Farrah, Jacqueline and Kate were "It"! My husband said last night that he use to go over to a friends house when he was younger just to look at Farrah's poster on his wall because he couldn't afford to buy one. I also remember my first Jackson 5 concert and screaming my head off. You couldn't tell me I wasn't going to marry Marlon Jackson!
Michael was a music icon that has influenced so many artists of today. I didn't realize his library of music until I listened to so many Atl radio stations as they pay tribute. One song I think that is so beautiful is "Gone Too Soon" that he wrote as and dedicated to Ryan White, the young victim of Aids that he befriended prior to his death. Here is the link to the video when Michael sang it at a Clinton Gala in 1992: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0mcxmCGetI
Thoughts and prayers to families of Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.

Nice tribute to Farrah in the New York times, "A Sex Symbol Who Aimed Higher". Alessandra Stanley goes beyond the hair and the poster and praises FF because she "kept trying, and that's more than can be said of many of today's fading stars who coast on surgically preserved looks, cable reality shows and the culture's insatiable hunger for celebrity abasement."
STanley ends by writing, "Not all her performances will stand the test of time, but what is worth remembering is how hard Farrah Fawcett tried."

You're welcome Deirdre. There are so many great videos out there. A lot of industry and noting that Michael's videos were the first that were like movies. On SYTYCD last night Nigel said some great things about all 3 entertainers and also pointed out how great of a dancer Michael was. In the "Remember the Time" video he was doing a form of Bollywood dance before it was popular.

IBW i was impressed last night with Nigel's tribute to each, and especially how he recognized MJ's talent and contribution without getting into the sleazy side of michael's life — whether it was true or not, it got sleazy, but that's not what we celebrate when someone dies, right? we celebrate the good, and are quietly (or should be quietly) glad any bad is now gone. SOmetimes people are so freaking COLD.

Julie – what a awful thing to say!!!! Some of you so call people never fail to amaze me with your crude and rude remarks. Just because you don't like someone, that is no reason to disrespect them, especailly after they have passed from this world. I only hope that when you leave this world, some crude and rude person will overlook your flaws (and believe me we all have them) and be sadden by your death. Such impression you make.
June 26th, 2009
12:08 pm
IBW, I too saw and heard what Nigel said last night about all three deaths. No matter who dies, whether we know them or not, it is always a sad time and I for one, grieve for the family's lost. A death takes away and leaves a emptyness that can't be filled.

Her is a great little tribute video to Farrah and the way I want to remember her.

Linny, my daughter who is a dancer recalled routines and solos that dancers from her studio had performed and so many others she had seen in competitions that were to Michael Jackson's songs. Basically that's how she and many from her age group were introduced to his music.
Everyone has their opinion, and yes some people are COLD. I just hope those who have such negative and cruel things to say…well you know what they say about people who live in glass houses…
June 26th, 2009

I hope that MJ made peace with God before his untimely death and that his soul will rest in peace. I think Farrah did and she is in heaven now and I hope the same for Ed. The lord takes us when he is ready and this week was an example. One elderly one sick and one shockingly. May they all RIP.
June 26th, 2009
12:17 pm
Thanks for the tribute KPH. No doubt about it, Farrah was a very pretty lady.

So Idol's going to reair the jackson show,
well that's no surprise, Anything to push that summer tour.
Gotta keep that cash flow coming.
even if it means using someones death as an excuse,
Enjoy America Enjoy,
By the way I am sorry to hear about his death.
June 26th, 2009
1:00 pm
I bet MJ would have liked to hear all these nice things the publicity seeking people who probably wouldn't return a phone call to MJ a year ago, are going out of their way to say now in the news. I can't imagine what a three ring circus his death will turn into and the family fighting we'll see once the smoke clears and the dust settles. The Jacksons will make the King family siblings look like they're all in agreement over everything when in reality, they won't be able to count the knives in their backs.

I have no desire to see entire show, just Matt, Kris and (put down the drinks)Adam. I might want to see how Sarver did; he was my other underdog favorite. Anoop was horrible in my opinion doing Beat it, so no way do I want to see that again. Megan's quirky dance was cute when she sang Rockin' Robin, but I can pass on that too.
June 26th, 2009
2:13 pm
One thing that I don't understand is the media and who they seek reaction from. Music stars that were inspired by or worked with Michael I can understand. Media hogs like Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton? Huh? And why would coverage of Michael's death be incomplete until we heard from Shirley Franklin?
I'm surprised the Washington press corps hasn't pressed Robert Gibbs for a statement from PresBO.
Get real folks!
I never much cared for Michael Jackson – I was a Springsteen fan. I thought Farrah was overrated – Kate Jackson was my favorite "angel." So the passing of Farrah & Michael do not really affect me.
But I'm saddened for their loved ones. Loss is loss – no matter how famous or anonymous the person is. Their families are suffering. Let them grieve their loss in peace.
June 26th, 2009
2:16 pm
JTesla – same to you too. Nana – learn to spell. Just stating my opinion – if you don't like it, too bad. He was a freak and that's the bottom line. Admit it everyone. Yes he was talented, but a freak nevertheless. Oh, and big surprise – drugs may be involved. Shocked, I tell ya, just shocked!!
June 26th, 2009
2:25 pm
Julie, let me borrow from you… "Just stating my opinion – if you don't like it, too bad." Oh and you might want to learn some proper grammar before you go around dishing out advice.
Rickster, we can both agree on Kate Jackson!
June 26th, 2009
2:28 pm
Julie, in plain and simple language that you can understand, spellchecked since that seems important to you, may I say, you don't need to be a beyotch here! Good grief, woman! You get the same respect you show others — i.e., in your case today, very little! Perhaps you will have a better day in the future; one can only hope.
June 26th, 2009
2:30 pm
JT, Rick, i agree, Kate was the best overall of the 3 original angels — I liked Jacqueline Smith, and i loved Cheryl Ladd when she came on board to replace Farrah. But I liked Farrah okay. It was a fun show all around, IMHO.
June 26th, 2009
2:32 pm
Julie, so I didn't spell a word correctly. Big freaking deal. At least I have a heart and feelings for others, which appartenly YOU my friend do not.
I was taught to respect others no matter what. People like you turn my stomach thinking you are so high and mighty. An old saying, "You can't fly so high to where your wings can't be clipped. The fall is fast and hard."
As I stated before, I hope that when you die, no one will be able to say anything negative about you. That ALL your flaws will not come to light. May you R I P little Miss Perfect!!!!!

A candid Lisa Marie Presley is writing about the death of her former
husband, music legend Michael Jackson, who she says once questioned her
about the circumstances surrounding the death of her iconic father, Elvis
Presley. Lisa Marie also defends her former marriage to Jackson, and likens
his passing to that of her father's.
Lisa Marie recalls her conversation with Michael on her MySpace.com blog,
"At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with
an almost calm certainty, 'I am afraid that I am going to end up like him,
the way he did.' I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point
he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let
me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that."
Lisa Marie goes on to write about her pain upon hearing the news, and
declares that her marriage with Jackson was not "a sham," and she likens the
tragic news to the loss of her father in 1977:
"A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn't
predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened. The
person I failed to help is being transferred right now to the LA County
Coroners office for his Autopsy. All of my indifference and detachment that
I worked so hard to achieve over the years has just gone into the bowels of
hell and right now I am gutted. I am going to say now what I have never said
before because I want the truth out there for once. Our relationship was not
'a sham' as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship
yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a "Normal life" found
a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part. Nonetheless, I
do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very
much. I wanted to 'save him.' I wanted to save him from the inevitable which
is what has just happened. His family and his loved ones also wanted to save
him from this as well but didn't know how and this was 14 years ago. We all
worried that this would be the outcome then. At that time, in trying to save
him, I almost lost myself. He was an incredibly dynamic force and power that
was not to be underestimated. When he used it for something good, It was the
best and when he used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad.
Mediocrity was not a concept that would even for a second enter Michael
Jackson's being or actions. I became very ill and emotionally/ spiritually
exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and
from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize
around him. I was in over my head while trying. I had my children to care
for, I had to make a decision. The hardest decision I have ever had to make,
which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately
loved him and tried to stop or reverse it somehow.
"After the divorce, I spent a few years obsessing about him and what I could
have done different, in regret. Then I spent some angry years at the whole
situation. At some point, I truly became Indifferent, until now. As I sit
here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my
biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play.
"The exact scenario I saw happen on August 16th, 1977 happening again right
now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted,
I am truly, truly gutted. Any ill experience or words I have felt towards
him in the past has just died inside of me along with him. He was an amazing
person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have
had the many experiences and years that we had together. I desperately hope
that he can be relieved from his pain, pressure and turmoil now. He deserves
to be free from all of that and I hope he is in a better place or will be. I
also hope that anyone else who feels they have failed to help him can be set
free because he hopefully finally is. The World is in shock but somehow he
knew exactly how his fate would be played out some day more than anyone else
knew, and he was right. I really needed to say this right now, thanks for
June 26th, 2009

Think I will call it a day and week and head home. Everyone have a great weekend and enjoy the beauty that we have been given.
Be safe, be happy and remember to keep a song in your heart, a smile on your face and a tap in your toes. All these makes life better.
Be careful when travelng on the roads and highways.
I will check in when I get home to see what's new here.
Bye for now.

I found this from Andrea on another AccessAtlanta blog…and I say AMEN to her comments! This is for all of those who have a habit of judging:
"Unless your name is J-E-S-U-S and your father's name is G-O-D then you have no authority to judge anyone. Once a person has left this earth they deserve peace not more drama. Those of you who continue to disrespect the dead are blatantly demonstrating the blackness of your heart and soul. Leave the dead alone they can do no harm!" …Thanks Andrea!

It's funny to hear people agree that there shouldn't be any 'drama' over MJ's death. Can you begin to even imagine the drama his funeral and what all that we'll endure before the funeral, will involve. I bet they don't bury him until August. He'll go on tour, dead, if the family figures out how to make a buck off of it. It'll make the family of James Brown look like fine textbook examples of how to conduct yourself afer the only person in your family who has a job dies. You have not seen the drama that's about to unfold in the next week or so. I'm having a vision of a gold lame coffin and a 400 piece choir and dancing midgets riding unicorns….and thats just the opening act, not the final show.

Getting back to the topic of the blog… it'll be rather poignant when we see Jorge' sing "Never Can Say Goodbye" now that Michael actually has.

I honestly couldnt believe my ears when a friend called me and told me the news of the death of michael jackson on my way to the barber.i didnt believe it until i saw breaking news while sitting stunned in the barber seat i wanted to cry but was so caught up in the monitor and in shock, i could barely breathe myself..when i got home after a few calls..still stunned and dry.until the radio played I want you back..then came the tears and ache heart.and it hurt bad too real bad. Instantly i was transported back to 13yrs old the year is 1969 and I am listening to the radio and on comes this 11yr old kid that performs like a man. I have yet to hear
any one(idol or other)tackle Who's Loving You by the Jackson Five
and do it better than Michael. Michael actually OUT sang Smokey on his own compostion(the Mircales recorded Whos loving You first.Michael and the Jackson 5 Made it their own.
Fact is folks were so Stunned by Michaels performance especially that last falsetto note(Whos lovin You) that the world just Knew they were on
to something big happening right before their eyes, transforming(something he actually did in his older life, literally musically and physically)
Michael had Arrived and the world was never the same, and Its even more different now without him.
Love him or hate him he was a gift and made just as much of a influence on music as the Beatles and Elvis, except Michael Out sang and danced them all in his hey days LoL..Michael I love you, I miss you, Your pain and suffering and people Judging you are
Over, BUT, I WANT YOU BACK!:-( RIP little Lost Brother.

I haven't been on here since the Michael news broke yesterday. I found myself listening to alot of Michael today, I couldn't quit! Regardless of how you feel about him, just let him Rest In Peace!
None of us are in the posistion to pass judgement, we should make ourselves right before we face our own final judgement!

Have a great week everyone and a safe and Fourth of July. And for anyone looking at the time stamp on this post, I wasn't kidding when I said I'm here 24/7! Remind me not to get a 7:11am flight again.

Good Morning.
Just got back from taking Memory to the groomer's and thought I would sneak a peek.
JT if you read this, hope you have a very nice vacation and be sure your next flight is a later one.
Should be a quite weekend on here, so I will go now and do some house cleaning, Krogering, Walmarting, and laundry, then off to the ball fields to see my grandson play in the state baseball championship tournment in Stockbridge. Have a very busy day ahead of me.

First time I've had to check in since the death of MJ. Not really surprised at some of the vitriol I've read. Of course, there are others who are just as ready to grant him sainthood.
As for me, I'd like to remember Michael Jackson for the vast contributions he made to the music of our lives. I don't think the soundtracks of our lives would be complete without at least some of his music.
Perhaps many more people will remember him that way rather than the 3-ring circus that followed in the later years. (Nice to think that way, anyway.)
Isn't it amazing how many of our favorite artists have succumbed to one tragedy or another? For some, it was untimely accidents. For others, foolish addiction to drugs. For Michael, I believe it was a constant search for his lost childhood, which was both a curse and, for us (due to his musical genius), a blessing. And perhaps without the one (the lost childhood), we would never have had the other!?
Anyway, I think Neg said it best: "…hopefully he is at peace from his demons." Amen to that!

I'm actually still in shock about Billy Mays. It's not that I'll miss him screaming at me about one product or another, it's that it was so unexpected!
Maybe we'll be able to get back to talking about the Idols this week.

Good morning all. Speaking of idols, I am back from watching one of mine in a fabulous concert in Kerrville, Texas!!

Looking forward to hearing all about your trip, harriett!
June 29th, 2009
8:46 am
I will try not to bore you with too many details, D, and everyone, but it was just a wonderful trip and concert, too. Being a part of the fan club is special, because we are all treated as special by the artist and his family. I got to meet DB's wife and three girls, which were featured in photos while he was on AGT. She is a beautiful person, both on the outside and the inside. The kids were all quite outgoing and entertaining themselves, and Donald's mom and dad were there, too. They are both former Broadway artists with outstanding voices. Jane, Donald's mom, was hoping to be on AGT this year, but she had to have her hip replaced and couldn't make the Houston auditions. As I said, I won't bore you with too much minutiae, but the actual concert consisted of seven pieces from different operas (with Donald in white tie and tails), then after intermission he was in the pop mode with "Unchained Melody,"(which was actually suggested he record by Simon Cowell), "Who Can I Turn To," "You Raise Me Up," "Nights in White Satin," "Beyond the Sea," and finally the best version (other than the original) of "A Change is Gonna Come," I have ever heard. Enough, now. How's everyone else? Sad weekend, otherwis.
June 29th, 2009

Good Monday Morning bloggers. hope everyone had a good weekend.
Mine was pretty good. Got some projects around the house finished finally. Went and saw Transformers and Angels & Demons — both Awesome movies BTW. Transformers is non-stop action.
Cannot believe the news about Billy Mays.. wow. Interested to see what the autopsy shows – word is he was hit in the head by an overhead bin that popped open during a rough landing Saturday afternoon, complained of not feeling good later that night, and never woke up.
I do have to admit that at 48 and seeing two 50 year olds just basically drop dead this past week has me thinking of my own mortality. MJ is explainable now due to his drug usage, etc; it would be a little comforting to know that Billy's death may have been accidental.
IN IDOL news, Syesha Mercado has been signed to play the role of Deena Jones in the Broadway revival of Dreamgirls. GOOD JOB SY!
June 29th, 2009
9:33 am
I'm with Deirdre on missing Billy Hayes to see what product he would have promoted next. A hit on the head, no matter how light or hard, can be a tragedy.
harriett, sounds like you had a great time. Still jealous….(grinning).
June 29th, 2009
10:09 am
Mike…I'd heard that Syesha was doing a tour of Dreamgirls…not a Broadway revival. Maybe my source was wrong. If she's made it to Broadway..that's terrific!
harriett, Donald's concert sounds wonderful. so glad that you had a good time.

In Kerrville and San Antonio, TX over the weekend it was 102-104 degrees! I came home not minding 95 at all.

YUK ! I don't mind the heat so much as the HUMIDITY just sucks the energy out of ya.
June 29th, 2009
11:03 am
95? only 95??? Woodpappy, i'm with you — it was so hot this weekend that i could only function, even indoors, for about half a hour at a time, then had to go cool off. best part was when i decided my poor azaleas HAD to have water, and decided to stand IN the spray instead of behind it, LOL. But i'm NOT going to lose another planting of the azaleas — three times before we've planted and lost due to heat/dry weather — thought we'd made it this time, they were doing great, then suddenly, all of them are wilting. But it felt great to act like a kid and play in the water from the garden hose! but Topsy decided she does NOT like being sprayed, LOL… she was fun to chase with the water!
June 29th, 2009

Wonderful news about Syesha… remember her well on Idol. Not only could she sing, she had a great attitude – and an unforgettable smile!

You know something that bugs me about the Michael Jackson death. His father is telling everyone who asks how he is coping, that Michael was the World's Greatest this and that, blah blah blah. We all want to think that we or our children will be remembered after we are gone, but MJ's Dad seems to be promoting his son instead of grieving for him. Creepy to me.
June 29th, 2009
11:45 am
While MJ's body was still in the mortuary, his father and sister went to an awards show?
June 29th, 2009
1:17 pm
I've been running around today and still have more to do.
I agree with Wp and Mercedes about MJ's dad. Last night he was on the BET red carpet promoting his own company! I'm starting to think that every bad thing I ever heard about him is true.

Had he breakfast this morning?
Is 'Had he breakfast this morning?' correct English? Since 'You have no idea where they live''s and 'You have nothing better to do''s respective inquisitive forms—'Have you no idea where they live?' and 'Have you nothing better to do?', their past tense forms being 'Had you no idea where they live?' and 'Had you nothing better to do?'—are correct, following the same logic, isn't 'He had breakfast this morning''s inquisitive form, 'Had he breakfast this morning?', likewise correct? Please read the full question. I'm looking for a logically (hopefully) justified answer. The more informative the answer is, the better.

It's a special all-Montreal Canadiens playoff edition of the NHL on TSN Quiz, as the panel weighs in on the on-ice and off-ice adventures of the bleu, blanc et rouge.
Question #1: Has Jaro Halak done enough to be afforded the legendary status earned by Ken Dryden in 1971 and Patrick Roy in 1986 and 1993? We're not comparing their careers, we're just comparing those magical playoff runs.
a) Yes, he's done enough
b) No, he has to win at least one more round
c) No, he has to win the Stanley Cup
John Anderson: Absolutely he has to win the Cup. You can't give the king his crown before the coronation. He's got to finish it off and do the job with the ring on his finger.
Bob McKenzie: No, he's got to win the third round. If he get the No. 8 seed - this collection of Montreal Canadiens - to the Stanley Cup final, he's still in the territory where he could end up winning a Conn Smythe trophy, a la Roger Crozier.
Darren Pang: I think you've got to win the Cup as well. I'm not going to use a big word like "coronation" like John Anderson the coach would use. But I am going to say that Dryden in '71 shouldn't have won the Cup and they did. And '86 and '93 - you have to win the Cup.
Question #2: Which is the most shocking individual Canadiens storyline other than the one fashioned by Halak?
a) Mike Cammalleri's scoring
b) Hal Gill's dominant role on defence
c) P.K. Subban's emergence on defence
Pang: It's got to be about Mike Cammalleri. Is there any question? I mean, tying Guy Lafleur's career playoff high with 12 goals? The Flower was my hero growing up, going down the right side and there's Cammalleri - 14 games played, 12 goals, 18 points, four power play goals. That's spectacular.
Anderson: I think it's got to be Subban. This kid played with my second son in Belleville and he was very, very talented but looked uninterested in the play and now that he's being challenged, he's bringing his play to the centre stage, and I've got to give Martin a lot credit too for giving him that chance to play 20 minutes a game.
McKenzie: I'll go with Cammalleri's scoring as well, for the same reason Darren Pang said - when you're equating Cammalleri with Lafleur and what they did in playoff years. If Cammalleri doesn't score another goal, he's still tied with Lafleur, the next one puts him by and that's pretty special.
Question #3: Which is the best "TMZ" storyline of the Habs' playoff run?
a) the dressing room dressing down (Carey Price to Sergei Kostitsyn)
b) the Tomas Jagr affair (Plekanec/Jose Theodore)
c) the Ovechkin snow-gate (snowing the kid)
McKenzie: I'll go with the dressing room dressing down. The funny thing about this one is that Price was regarded as a guy whose work habits maybe needed to be better in practice. By all accounts in Montreal, he's completely turned the corner on that and has been one of the hardest working Habs, so now he's in a position to be able to go to Kostitsyn and say, 'You should be out there for extra skating.'
Anderson: I've got to go with the Ovechkin thing. He's a fun-loving guy and he loves to play the game just for playing the game of hockey, never mind the big money, although he does get it. That young kid will remember that moment the rest of his life and probably has a picture on his wall right now.
Pang: I'm going to go with Plekanec and what happened. I think it stirred up the nest a little bit when you're talking about the Capitals and the Canadiens. The bottom line is that Montreal won, so it stirred it up enough for Theodore to say, 'Oh, Tomas Jagr?' Of course, Plekanec had a great series against the Capitals.

Great summer books about the Bay Area
It's five days into summer and already I am dreary of the fog/sun/fog routine. Somehow I can bear the gloom in the winter, but detest it between June and August. One reason is because it dampens my sense of expectation: I love waking up on a warm sunny day and feeling that almost anything can […] [Read More]
The world's largest winery is rotting on the edge of San Francisco bay
One of the side effects of writing history is looking at a street and not seeing the 21st century buildings, but imagining instead those structures that stood there a hundred years ago. That's the affliction I have carried around ever since I started research on late 19th and early 20th century California. Now when I […] [Read More]
The Addiction of Cyberspace
I have a confession to make: I am addicted to the Internet. It doesn't matter the form. I can do email, Facebook, Twitter, as well as a scattering of new social media sites like GoodReads or Redroom.com. I even have my own blog, where I post short stories about my book, the literary scene in […] [Read More]

TEAMS: Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Lakers
MINNEAPOLIS -- Both teams were without key players -- Minnesota without Ricky Rubio, Cleveland without their starting backcourt. Together, Friday at Target Center, the Timberwolves and Cavaliers spent most of their 48 minutes together struggling to find a rhythm on offense. In the end, the Wolves finally figured it out. Especially Kevin Love, who shot better than 50 percent for the first time this year (10-for-19) and scored a season-high 36 points with 13 rebounds in the Timberwolves 91-73 victory over the Cavaliers. Love was the shiny exception to some down-and-dirty basketball. Cleveland (shot just 34.5 percent. Take Love out of the equation and the rest of the Wolves (9-9) weren't a heck of a lot better. Love, playing in his ninth game since returning from two broken bones in his right hand, had 15 points in the first quarter, 20 by halftime and 30 entering the fourth quarter. He tipped in his own miss in the final moments of the game to reach 36 points, the most he h...

Roy Nelson Chats About Fabricio Werdum And Getting In Better Shape.
I'd love to see Roy drop to 205.
OMG I want his beard!
Nick Diaz outboxed Robbie Lawler. Firing off 4 or 5 machine gun punches and flopping to your back doesn't constitute outboxing someone imo.
I love how the interviewe says "maybe Werdum is less known by the casual fans". If you don't know who Werdum is, you need to go back to watching WWE because you're the noob of noobs.
Who flopped to there back? Diaz knocked Lawler out cold.
hes been saying a lie he keep sayin "verdum beat alistar ovvereem the k-1 champ"…… alistar didnt even start k-1 before the fight with verdum … alistar went to k-1 after that fight then he had his k-1 experience an beat verdum. he has his sources mixed up.
I dont know why but Roy seems like a cool guy. He seems to be very humble. I hope he wins…but highly unlikely.
"I'd knocked you out if you'd ran right into it"…classique.
he looks actually a lot leaner than before. you can tell he's been working hard.
he is cool guy though, pretty easy going.
@grapplingj. hence why they're the casual fans, you clown. they don't know the smaller named guys, because they don't follow the sport like you would

Very nice summary of techniques that started in the USA, were perfected in the USA and were taught to the European orthopedic community. The AAFS was the originator of all of these techniques. I am glad that you also have began to see how MIS procedures were always for the benefit of the podiatric patient as well as the profession. I personally have post MIS procedures that are 30 years old and I am not one of the great pioneers that started this technology. Let's give due respect to Edwin Probber, DPM. Abe Plon, Ronald Strauss, Larry and Marty Koback, DPM, Larry Kales, Steve Donis, DPM, Stan Rosen, DPM , Ed Martin, DPM, Jerome Jacobs, DPM, and the list continues.
We need to start showing respect and giving due to these podiatrists and not the Europeans who are just riding the curtails of these great podiatry leaders. Thanks.Reply to this comment »
Don't forget to thank Stephen Isham, DPM, who currently practices in Idaho, for all of his numerous contributions. Stephen was a podiatric pioneer of MIS techniques and gained a significant international following after teaching these techniques to orthopedic surgeons around the world. He obtained his MD degree at a foreign medical school, which gained him a wider audience but he was always sure to promote that he was first and foremost a podiatric surgeon. He along with other US podiatrists DID teach these techniques to European orthopedic surgeons and they DO respect podiatrists.
The European orthopods are documenting their outcomes of thousands of nonfixated osteotomies. These osteotomies heal well without nonunions because the periosteal blood supply is kept intact by the minimal dissection and because the osteotomies have autogenous bone paste, which acts as a bone graft matrix around and within each osteotomy. Some doctors use percutaneous k-wires to fixate the osteotomies but the majority use taping as a form of external casting/splinting just like they were taught by the podiatric pioneers.
The ACADEMY OF AMBULATORY FOOT SURGERY (AAFS) along with the presently named AMERICAN BOARD OF MULTIPLE SPECIALTIES IN PODIATRY were the US platforms for launching the current growing worldwide phenomenon of minimal incision foot osteotomies.
Really loved your article. Thanks man.Reply to this comment »

Realistic Factors for Marital Infidelity in a Story, Present Day USA.:
Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Primarily interested in what it would take to seduce away a Happily Married couple appart but scenarios where moral fiber wasn't an issue welcome. Factors like finance, children, extended family, religious orientation, politics and social norms welcome.
2 Iaculus, Fri, 6th Apr '12 2:40:42 AM from England
Pronounced YAK-you-lussWell, if you want to bring out the big guns, there's always mental illness. Caring for your partner full-time can be a massive emotional drain, and it's not uncommon for the carer in question to seek out a bit of happiness on the side. Especially when the person you see every day is no longer the person you married.
Freedom of speech includes the freedom for other people to call you out on your bullshit.
Two people who simply drift apart and one (or both) of them recapture some sort of chemistry with another person. An ex-lover is a very good third party, because much of the time, they invoke a sense of nostalgic longing. Whether the third party intentionally did it can be ambiguous.
4 Last Hussar, Fri, 6th Apr '12 6:05:22 AM from the place is here.
The time is now,Real life examples are found in Friends Reunited/Facebook, where someone has 'friended' an old boy/girlfriend, and the relationship restarted.
Do the job in front of you.
@ laculus *whistles* Yeah, that's big. Was actually just expecting a lot of little nudges (whatever the hell those would have been) to Infidelity.
6 Brain Sewage, Fri, 6th Apr '12 11:05:58 AM from that one place
It's simple, really: people grow apart. It's not surprising for a couple to just not love each other anymore, and from there it's just a short jump to someone who makes you feel the way your spouse did, way back when...
7 Tiamatty, Fri, 6th Apr '12 7:02:37 PM Relationship Status: Brony
Bieber My BallsAs someone who's been cheated on, I think it often generally comes down to one person not being satisfied. My fiance was dissatisfied with our sex life. She's a much more sexual person than I am. So she had sex with someone else and broke up with me. It was that simple. There really doesn't need to be a big reason behind it.
This is actually a bit of a surprise to me. In the typical US marriage, I always thought it would be the male that would be easier to seduce/break.
9 joeyjojo, Fri, 6th Apr '12 7:58:50 PM from Opp North Relationship Status: Get out of here, STALKER
@Tiamatty:sorry bro. @OP: There is always the Incompatible Orientation trope. A gay man or women in a conservative community might be married to to keep up appearances and genuinely love their partner. But they would have a desire to be with members of the same sex even if they dare not admitted to themselves. I wouldn't advise in doing it but unless you pretty confident as it's a bit of a Unfortunate Implications minefield if your not careful.
Unity in diversity
Ecce Homo SuperiorPeople belonging to a religion that forbids divorce might be more likely to cheat if they find themselves attracted to someone other than their partner, since they don't have the option to just break up and remarry. Obviously, this isn't true across the board, but it's one factor as to why someone would have an affair instead of just ending their relationship and starting a new one.
(it's David Bowie)
If Marital Infidelity was a goal, and assuming the couple were Happily Married, how would one (or an army of agents) incite Infidelity? In the fastest, most efficient, most elegant, or most elaborate manner. (Style counts after all.) (This should have been the title.)
Well, I've read that the number one reason for infidelity, at least for men, is the "girlfriend experience, " which is to say that while their spouse seems bored with them, the extra-marital partner seems genuinely interested in them and enthusiastic to be with them which, you know, makes them feel good. Don't know if "happily married" can incoporate the kind of ennui that would lead to this, though...
13 QQQQQ, Sat, 7th Apr '12 11:42:57 PM from Canada
Something which can happen is lust. The meng has supposedly found the woman of his dreams.. and yet she (alone) isn't good enough for him; so he covets other women, preferably in secret - for the renewed thrill of seduction, for voyeuring misadventures. Is it jealousy that lingers in his heart, driving him off the marriage rails? Boredom? Or is it that his wife - confiding in him about a fantasy she's had with a naval officer - it is revealed that a woman's heart, even under marriage, still remains full of secrets, which sends our hero (and a Real Human Being!) off on his own infidelity quest around New York City, until he finds himself satisfied by topping his wife's fantasies somehow.. Or that on either side of the marriage, the husband/wife come to the revelation that their innate flaws would threaten to overthrow what happiness was promised. All work and no play made Jack a dull boy, and Clarice was a nervous wreck of Woody Allen proportions. It may depend on their instinctive drives priority: the need for practicality, sociality and union - and if it doesn't get satisfied. Of course, if you're looking to incite suspicion in an already healthy marriage, you'll need at least one of the partners to react not-so-goodly upon hints of cheating.

1) Thanks for the tips. 2) That's kind of the point actually. IF the couple were NOT Happily Married, it would be too easy to cause Infidelity, and thus, an uniteresting read. A genuinely happy, commited, loving couple who meant to honor their vows though, are a greater challenge. Something that would be a true challenge for Femme Fatals or Suave Seducer to break appart.
15 Iaculus, Sun, 8th Apr '12 12:38:10 PM from England
Pronounced YAK-you-lussOK, why is it so important that one of them be seduced into an affair? If their marriage is rock-solid, wouldn't it be easier to get leverage on them some other way?

/OK, why is it so important that one of them be seduced into an affair? If their marriage is rock-solid, wouldn't it be easier to get leverage on them some other way? / Mainly for the challenge I suppose. Creating WILLFUL Infidelity in a Rock Solid marriage is mark of a Master Seducer, Magnificent Bastard/Bitch. Something that can be boasted as an accomplishment because its so damn diffcult to do. Specially considering the Power of Love and all that.

Pronounced YAK-you-lussAh, so there's no greater objective, just a Casanova out for some fun? Fair enough. 'Army of agents' suggested some ulterior motive - you usually need one of those to convince a large group of people to try to break up one couple.
Freedom of speech includes the freedom for other people to call you out on your bullshit.
I figure an army of agents would make things easier. Even James Bond could probably use a little help every now and then when he has to seduce someone. Like those (in)famous KGB Seductress Spies. Just tossing naked women saying "Me Love You Long Time!" at the Husband or suave Secret Agents in Tuxes at the Wife is probably not going to work in a Happily Married Scenario. It seems odd, would likely cause paranoia and may backfire as Husband and Wife may band togther in the face of such weirdness. A mastermind with the expertise, time and experience to direct the Agents though, could probably pull this off. How he does this, what strategies, tactics and approaches used is key. And I have very little clue as to what those are.

If we're talking about someone who's actively trying to incite infidelity, that's a somewhat different question from your original one - and it's one where "they can't" becomes a possible answer.
True, but that's the best I could word it "They can't" is so sweet. I'd still like to see an attempt though. Nothing like a full on seige led be a brilliant mastermind with insane resources to test the defence of Fortress Fidelity.

Trolling SwordsmanHusband has a specific kink/fetich that he was unwilling to tell Wife about, and Seductress finds out and tells him that she's totally willing to go for said kink/fetish.
*Chuckles* Is the kink being unfaithful to his wife? Cause I can see how this would be an akward topic to discuss with his wife.
The system doesn't know you right now, so no post button for you.
You need to Get Known to get one of those.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
Excels at every task from peeling apples to hulling strawberries. Owners at Amazon.com also describe the Wüsthof Classic paring knife as incredibly versatile. One says, "This knife is good for everything from mincing herbs to slicing fruit to filleting small fish - it even makes a pretty good steak knife." Another describes using it to slice lemons, quarter apples and cut cheese. However, a couple of users think this knife's 3½-inch blade is a bit too short; they consider a 4½-inch blade more generally useful.
Both professional testers and home users say the Wüsthof Classic is very sharp, well balanced and comfortable to handle. More than one Amazon.com owner describe the balance of this knife as "just about perfect." Home users at Amazon.com and Cooking.com also say the knife holds its edge well.
A forged steel knife. It resembles a miniature chef's knife, with a curved, smooth blade suitable for mincing and a pointed tip that is great for popping the eyes out of potatoes. It has a full tang, meaning that the metal of the blade extends all the way down to the end of the handle, held in place with three rivets. It also includes a bolster (a lip of metal between the handle and the blade that protects the fingers). Most owners say this design feels very solid, but we did see a couple of complaints about durability. The outer part of the handle is made of a special plastic resin that professional testers say feels "like hard, smooth wood." Home users generally find this grip very comfortable.
A very traditional shape and design. Its appearance isn't particularly striking, but it isn't objectionable either; reviews don't mention its styling one way or the other.
In terms of performance, the Wüsthof is nearly tied with the J.A. Henckels Four Star 3-inch Paring Knife (*Est. $30). Both offer forged-steel construction, precise handling, a sharp blade that holds an edge well and a comfortable grip. However, the Wüsthof paring knife "edges" out its competitor because its slightly longer blade makes it more versatile. For any kitchen task requiring precision and maneuverability, this little knife is a winner.

Report Credibility: Excellent Cook's Illustrated magazine puts 10 paring knives to the test. Each knife is used in a variety of tasks, including peeling apples and coring strawberries, and its edge is tested on sheets of paper after use. Editors find 3½ inches the ideal length for a paring blade, and they prefer a heavier handle that balances out the blade's weight. Along with the Wüsthof Classic 3½-inch Paring Knife, tested knives include pricey models from the Shun Classic and J.A. Henckels Four Star lines, as well as less expensive Victorinox Fibrox and Chicago Cutlery knives.

It would be easy to rant and rave about the things that went wrong in game 3. Heck, we did it nearly every game during the regular season. So instead of breaking down what went wrong (did anything go right?), I'll just chime in with a few observations.
_ I didn't get to watch the game live, as I had other pressing matters to attend to. Trust me, it looked just as bad on DVR at 1:00 a.m. I got so mad that I forgot to fast forward through the commercials. Or maybe it was just my subconscious, trying to give my ears a break from the sound of Jon Barry's voice. Hmmmmm…
_ I don't care what anybody says. Mike Woodson gets a pass on this one. All the way. There is not one single thing he could have done to help this game. His bench stunk it up in the first two games, so what were his options? After a while, he realized that calling timeouts wasn't working. ESPN had the huddle wired a couple of times, and Woodson was doing his best to encourage his guys. He's a better man than me. Had I been in his position, the mic would have picked up nothing but "beeps." I'm talking, enough to make you think somebody was writing an essay in morse code. Mike Woodson kept his composure through it all, not panicking even once. In fact, I think he's learned to be a bit smarter about this than in years past. Don't believe me? Well, I know this: Joe Johnson played only 36 minutes, despite the fact that he was really the only reliable guy on the court on offense.
_ Joe Johnson probably thinks he walked into a time machine, because it sure looked like 2006-2007 all over again. As in, he gets 25 points, half a dozen rebounds, nearly as many assists, and no help whatsoever from his teammates. By the way, don't let that box score fool you. Joe was getting his game on out there, and only the desperation of having to do it all caused him to shoot as badly as he did (9-22). That, and the Bucks finally starting really keying in on him once they realized nobody else was going to present a credible threat.
_ Josh Smith has found out that there are a couple of things to do in Milwaukee that he hadn't done before. Sulk in a hotel room is one. Another is learning how to pronounce Mbah a Moute and Ilyasova. I hear that both names translated together mean "You had better hustle better next time."
_ The lack of energy and execution was astounding. And just in case you couldn't see that for yourself, Jon Barry made sure to point it out. 3, 719 times. In the first half. Just in case you might have gotten up for a snack, or gone to the bathroom, and missed it.
_ Al Horford was lucky that Kurt Thomas didn't bring his cane. He would have really laid a whoopin' on him if he had remembered it. Unfortunately for Al, Kurt did remember to bring his jumper, his rebounding, and his defense. Al only remembered to bring his jumper. What's with kids these days?
_ This game was so bad that Marvin's flops and flails didn't look out of place. Yes, it was that bad. The Hawks missed more layups than a junior varsity boys team does when the varsity cheerleaders are practicing at the other end of the gym. If I'm Woodson, I say we skip the shootaround and just do layups all day at pre-game practice. You have to crawl before you walk….
Okay, had to stop there. It was all I could do just to finish the game, and with about 5 minutes left, the only "treat" was watching Zaza Pachulia go 6 of 7 from the field, when it no longer made a difference. The Hawks have been beaten on the road before. They are certainly no strangers to this in the playoffs. We looked for signs of a good team in the playoffs, and we were seeing them in the first two games. But this? This shouldn't happen. Losing is one thing. Getting blown out by a clearly inferior team is something else.
How well with the Hawks bounce back in game 4? Are we too presumptuous in thinking that they will bounce back, or is a realistic expectation? There isn't anything complicated about this. The Hawks beat themselves. Even on a night when it seemed like the Bucks couldn't miss from 3 point range, they STILL did not have enough weapons to be as good as the Hawks made them look. Brandon Jennings hit a few 3 pointers, but the kid still only finished with 13 points and 5 assists. Four of the Bucks' main rotation players were held to less than 50% shooting (Delfino, Ridnour, Stackhouse, Jennings). There really is not much else to say. Atlanta doesn't need to get it's mojo back. It needs to get it's head on straight.
Here's to hoping that the Hawks turn this back into the series that it should be. Fear not the deer. Fear the mirror.

This is not all he fights against; in addition to robots and traps, he must struggle with slippery controls, clipping issues, slowdown, poor hit detection, sloppy level design, and voice samples that insist on reminding the player that Awesome Possum has 'tude.This game was created during the Mascot with Attitude boom following Sonic the Hedgehog.

Thin privilege is being able to go to the doctor's with a specific set of problems you need to talk about, and actually having the doctor talk to you about those problems and only those problems.
I went to the doctor's recently to ask for a referral to a psychiatrist and an optometrist, and to talk about medication for my asthma. When she finally saw me, she looked at my chart, looked at me, and then said, "So what are you doing to lose weight?"
Those were her first words she said to me. Not, "What are you here for", or, "So how are you today?". Just, "What are you doing to lose weight?"
She then proceeded to try looking for excuses not to give me any referrals. Apparently, a medical condition that I was diagnosed with by a former psychiatrist means nothing, because I'm clearly depressed because I'm fat. Clearly, I just need to lose weight to help with my asthma, despite not being able to walk down the street on a hot day without having to take a puff off my inhaler. No, I'm not even allowed to breathe properly so I can actually exercise to lose weight even if I wanted to. And let's not even talk about the eyes; even though I couldn't see half of the eye-testing chart and told her that I suffer from horrid migraines when reading. After all, why should she, the gracious doctor she is, take the time to fill out a referral form for a fat person that is clearly fat because they don't care about themselves?
Let's be honest, if I was thin, she would have done those referrals in a heartbeat, because no thin person should have to suffer from depression, asthma, or shitty eyes, because those medical conditions(the eyes, even! she tried to blame them on me.) came about because they are real medical conditions, not because the person is fat.

We now know that if Eric Ebron is available to be chosen by the Jets, they will be taking a guy that is fast.
It is day one of workouts from the NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, and the tight ends have run their 40 yard dashes. A time of note was Eric Ebron, a player likely being targeted by the New York Jets to fill a need for a weapon down the seam.
Eric Ebron ran both of his heats in the 40 yard dash, and his timing, unofficially, was exactly the same, a 4.50. That is the type of time we expect from big time wide receivers, so it is a terrific time for a tight end.
Obviously this is not the only point of information to judge Ebron's talent. We need to see his drills and other workout results, which haven't been completed at the time of this post. However, knowing that the kid is fast doesn't hurt, and in that area, he was quite impressive.
It would appear that Eric will not be taking part in positional drills as he tweaked his hamstring running the 40 yard dash. It's a shame that it is looking like he won't perform, many were excited to watch.

Could It Be Perimenopause?
This often-overlooked lifestage starts earlier and lasts longer than you may have thought
Peri Who?
If you've never heard of perimenopause, you're not alone. Although perimenopause has probably been around since the beginning of time (though most women just two hundred years ago didn't live long enough to see a change in their midlife bodies), women in the past just accepted their symptoms, notes Dr. Darlene Lanka, associate professor at University of California San Francisco, and author of Perimenopause 2 Ed: Changes in Women's Health After 35. "I've been treating perimenopause since the 1970s," she says. "Many of us [physicians] have always used the term perimenopause, but back then the public wasn't wildly interested in it. In fact, even today some patients aren't given the right information."
So why the sudden interest now? Dr. Lanka credits the Baby-Boomer generation with bringing it to the forefront of women's health. "This is a well-educated group of women who read and who want to be at least a partner in their own health decisions. The interest rises from the fact that the women themselves wanted information."
