Ashlee Simpson Is Roxie Hart
by POPSUGAR Celebrity 87 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Roxie Hart must be the most popular character ever. Past Roxie's include Renee Zellweger in the movie and Brooke Shields, Rita Wilson, and Melanie Griffith on Broadway. We reported the rumors that Ashlee was going to be the latest Hollywood celeb to take the stage in the West End production of Chicago. Now it is official that Ash will kick off her 6 week stint on September 25th.

siouxsie 8 years

LaylaCams 8 years
Wow, I thought that was Tori Spelling.
Pokemyhontas 8 years
Eww. Ashley? oooooo-kay. Hopefully she'll be taking lots of voice lessons.
BRANDYNICOLE730 8 years
In the first pic where she's looking over her shoulder, she looks JUST LIKE JESSICA. I thought it was her until I noticed the size of the boobs!
ann_fancy 8 years
For the first time since her surgery, I didn't recognized her in pictures
mare-p 8 years
Isn't she kind of young to be playing Roxie Hart? All the other actresses were older. And do they really think that Ashlee is going to bring in crowds of people? No one can stand her and we all know she can't sing.
frenchunion 8 years
with that fake smile that makes me wanna bitchslapping her!
frenchunion 8 years
she cannot handle it,she hasn't the voice..i mean for me roxie is still renée zellweger with her talent,her attitude,& her presence...look @ ashlee!!Seriously???
NduguNStephie 8 years
cotton - its probably the stick up her ass =) Her and her sister BOTH look that way...
haze1nut 8 years
she doesn't look like herself. she looks totally different. she doesn't get any cheers from me :( i'm sorta disappointed in her but i'm sure she'll produce a great performance as roxie. i've watched the musical and it be fun to watch her.
Faye16 8 years
I think Ashlee looks very good in those pics, I'm happy for her, I'm a fan of her.
cottoncatie 8 years
she looks soooo stiff and just not right in those pics. yeah, whoever cast her needs to be beat up and fired. ICK!
iluv_thebritish 8 years
Oh, why does this girl do these things? It's one thing to branch out when you have talent to branch! She has no talent. Next!
Padraigin 8 years
I get it. When some do it, it's criticism. When others do it, it's bashing.
motherof3 8 years
Abomb I thought the same thing too. She looks just like Britney Murphy.
sashak 8 years
Maybe she will blossom on stage & become the greatest thing to hit the theatre in years, who knows? (i doubt it, but hey) BTW do we know who will play Velma Kelly?
t0xxic 8 years
Right skye, I dont go off calling people names bc they think Britney is trash. Im even willing to accept she has done some not so smart things, I think thats part of admiring someone realizing that they are people and make mistakes
DulceSkye 8 years
Live theater is doing so poorly nowadays, that unfortunately, a lot of directors HAVE to get a big name to draw in crowds. It's really a shame because there are so many talented theatrical performers out there who would probably do a way better job than Ashlee. After her debacle on SNL, I'm surprised anyone would hire her to do a live performance...she obviously doesn't do well under pressure. I really wish that fans wouldn't take criticism of their idols so personally. I like Posh...and I know I'm in the minority. But it doesn't ruin my day, or make me want to name call, when others don't see what I see in her. All I can do is enjoy being her fan, and interact with others who like her.
wynter 8 years
Should be interesting reading what critics have to say.
Coqueta76 8 years
Makes alot of sense Ashley plays Roxie Hart. Roxie is suppose to be talentless, she can't sing and keep a tune... Makes sense.
t0xxic 8 years
I think what all the Anti Ashlee stuff boils down to is Ashlee is to loving ones self as Britney is to wanting privacy u say one thing but act another. Personally I dont think they would have cast her if she didnt meet a few qualifications for the part Im sure shell do fine. She is really looking sedated and different little girl lost.
NduguNStephie 8 years
Awe! I think that Ashlee will do great... I am a huge fan of her music... =) so I am very biased here... She looks AMAZING... crazy how a nose can fix your career... too bad it didnt happen earlier...
Imabeliever 8 years
Brooke also did Cabaret.. didn't she? Who knew she could sing? Good for her pushing her limits..
tabloidprincess 8 years
That's really harsh.
TruJrzyGirl 8 years
And Brooke Shields I love for the reason she grew up down the street from me in Haworth, NJ.
TruJrzyGirl 8 years
What would the world do if a 747 went down and it was loaded with nothing but high-profile celebrities ?? There would be a lot of new openings for new and fresh talent !
lickety-split 8 years
remember a few years ago when a pre comeback brooke shields played rizzo (spelling) in grease? then there were all these other people that were "sort of" stars that played the same character. maybe this part is like that one and not as big in the production and is kind of for "show". but again, better not quit my day job.
BlondeSugar 8 years
that's true jaxon. that's all is really is about
TruJrzyGirl 8 years
And that's my judgemental view of them. I'd rather be on this side of the fence than theres. poor and all ...
jaxon 8 years
Valeri, it seems like it's becoming less about talent and more about a big name draw for the target audience. I guess that's why I'm not a casting director either lol
lickety-split 8 years
who knows. yester i wrote nothing but "huh?" and that was flagged.
sphh18 8 years
Roxie Hart is a strong Character, I don't know How good is Ashley as an actress, but who knows maybe....!!!
TruJrzyGirl 8 years
In all honestly I could care less about any of these stars- they are purley good reading material for entertainment purposes and nothing more. They lead very plastic, far-from-reality lives.
Imabeliever 8 years
val.. i thought the same thing about Melanie Griffith..as Roxie? Thats insane..maybe a good fit 25 years ago..but WTF?
jaxon 8 years
Okay sorry I was checking something my last comment was flagged and I was wondering if it was because I used caps. No foul language or harsh words but I was flagged. I wonder what their exact criteria is. I would love it Pop gave us a list
TruJrzyGirl 8 years
In honesty, I could give a rat's dirty a$$ about any of these people, they are great entertainment- like Soap Operas with their up and down pathetic lives and all the money they make while others suffer- it's criminal. But again, they are purely entertainment and nothing more. Like the circus.
jaxon 8 years
lickety-split 8 years
omg, i would never go see something with her in it. who is their audience, seriously. and look at the others that played this part, rita wilson?? not to be mean, but this part calls for a little somethin-somethin and i don't see that in rita. maybe this is why i'm not a casting agent, lol.
jaxon 8 years
REALLY NOT IN THE MOOD CURLY! Leave it at the bus stop chica... I could careless about her father. She has no talent. I call it like I see it. She is pathetic wannabe. I don't need to repeat what Imabeliever said but let it be known that I feel the same way. And BTW, I like Jaime-Lynn. I watch her Nickelodeon show.
abomb88 8 years
She looks like Jessica in the first and Brittany Murphy in the second.
Imabeliever 8 years
and a lot of people see green.. even people who are not admirable.. William Hung made some green but I wouldn't call him talented. Milli Vanilli made some green.. whats your point? The point is you are a fan of hers and thas cool, but don't expect everyone to she her through your rose colored glasses.
BlondeSugar 8 years
LOL ima! i second that!
JennaV 8 years
LOL peep ;) ARRRGGHH!
Imabeliever 8 years
ImCurly.. I think that in actuallity people don't like her because she is a hypocrite poser and on top of that just happens to have Jess as a sister and a pimp as a father. She lost a lot of fans with the whole "I'm different.. I love my looks.. I love being me" message to then go and get plastic surgery. And the SNL thing and the football performance thing and the kiss my feet and don't you know who I am thing. But other than that.. she's a peach!!

It is ironic that my type of people bash, yet it's written under a comment calling someone else ignorant with a small mind.
TruJrzyGirl 8 years
LOL !!! Whatever they are and however we all feel, they are rolling in the cash .... They see GREEN everywhere !

I'm having too good for a day for that kind of mess, ImCurly.
BlondeSugar 8 years
woah easy! speaking only for myself i only "bashed" her bc she lacks talent. it doesnt make sense that i would bash her bc i don't like jessica, bc I do like jessica. she is my girl crush! haha
Sica 8 years
I think she's better than her sister, but being Roxie Hart is too much for her.
TruJrzyGirl 8 years
And you'll be bashing Jaime-Lyn also, because that's what your type does ... bash, bash bash ...
TruJrzyGirl 8 years
It's the way of your world and a small ignorant mind. LOL !!!
TruJrzyGirl 8 years
If she was on Broadway, I'd definitely go see her. There is nothing wrong with her. She is beautiful, smart and talanted. Bashers are just bashing because they hate Jessica and the father .... Common, give her a break.
peepshow 8 years
Ugh. I didn't even know that was Ashlee!! That's so sad. She can't sing, don't we all know that already? Isn't there some aspring mid-Westerner out there with REAL talent that dreams should come true? Seriously, I'm over the whole Simpson family. I can't wait for Jamie Lynn to start...
jaxon 8 years
the truth can be harsh sometimes...it's the way of the world
pollypo 8 years
Another opportunity for the British public to say: Americans suck. Oh well.
TruJrzyGirl 8 years
Haaa haaa!! I like Ashley. She is a cute young and vibrant girl who is thoughtful, kind and softhearted- it's too bad people think of her sister when they see her. Two different people COMPLETELY.
loryn 8 years
surely thats not true...
pinkangelmonkey 8 years
atleast we know pimpdaddy's dream woman looks like jessica...

Can I make my birthday wish early? (closing eyes thinking hard) Dear Birthday Wish Fairy, Please make all the people that already have their tickets for this show storm the box office demanding tickets for nights when she isn't performing *blow*
tabloidprincess 8 years
jaxon 8 years
This really sickens me! I can't believe the theatre community would cheapen their productions by adding Ashlee simply to get people (the rich little teeny boppers) to come see the show. What a bunch o sellouts! If I was the rest of the cast I'd quit. I have friends and family that are Broadway actors and they work hard to perfect their craft and in two seconds it's been crapped on by Joe Pimpson.
Starbrite 8 years
I hope her acid reflux doesn't act up and she can't sing. I mean the cd doesn't skip and she messes up.
sashak 8 years
this is a really bad idea. there is nothing more to say...
jaxon 8 years
What?? Room spinning...head hurts.... eyes must be reading wrong. 1)SHE CAN'T SING! 2) Live stage acting is so much harder that acting in front of a camera. It's very real and not everyone can do it and I don't beilieve Ashlee can.
Padraigin 8 years
she does not have a great voice. Far from it. She doesn't even have the raw talent Jessica has.
LaurenG22 8 years
this all makes me wish Britney was the new roxie hart...
LaurenG22 8 years
HAHA-- no boob job for her-- dont you remember she said she had better boobs then jessica? Probably Pimp Daddy has told her since she got her first bra-- aww honey your boobs are better then your sister! PERVERT! Why am i not surprised these two are as messed up as a Jackson!
JK-Boogie 8 years
she must have some huge Jessica issues....I can imagine her dad saying "if you look more like Jessica your career will really take off" hence the nose job....next will the infamous "knee operation" aka the boob job.
mar 8 years
she always looks like somebody else!
tabloidprincess 8 years
she looks just like jessica!
BlondeSugar 8 years
JK if I go see Chicago it sure as hell will NOT be when she is there
kidcrazy2 8 years
Wow, Ashlee Simpson, is that you? What a nice slap in the face to all the talented actresses out there who can actually hold a tune. This is really pathetic.
JK-Boogie 8 years
If any of you go to see it please let me know how badly she sucks. I agree babsee...the prerequisite for this role must have been that must be able to sing. *confused*
LaurenG22 8 years
plus, isnt she more the real age of Roxie, all those are biznitches are too old to play a young wannabee broadway gal... this casting is odd, but I can dig it
JK-Boogie 8 years
What the....???? why ????
babsee 8 years
but she can't sing!!!! how do you get hired to do a live musical if you can't sing????????????????? and at first i thought those were pics of chestica......**shutters**.........
ohsuri 8 years
How can she lip sync her way through this one? WOW Papa Simpson really dropped Jessica.. is that why he has Ashley looking like her? Something is off with that family
LaurenG22 8 years
hmmm... at first I was shocked and dismayed... now I am starting to accept it... and acceptance is the first step...
BlondeSugar 8 years

Root Logger Pro
500 - 1,000 downloadsAdd this app to your lists
+ By Stephen (Stericson)
Rate this please if you like it!
Root Logger is the only application that can log all shell commands that are sent to your phone, including those from other rooted applications.
Root Logger can also tell you who executed the command, when it was executed, and whether or not the command was executed with root access.
This application will help you keep an eye on what's being sent to the shell on your phone and what those applications are doing on your phone.
Remember, any application can send shell commands to your device whether or not it is a "root" application.
Unlike other applications, this is the only one that can not only log root commands, but normal shell commands as well!
This is a beta release of this app and will be open sourced later down the road. The price may also rise later on as I continue to add new features to this application.
At this point new features will be coming regularly.
Please let me know if you have feature requests!
Tags: baixa root logger, root logger, root logger pro chomikuj, root logger pro, no root access busybox, com.stericson.rootlogger.free, rootloggerpro, logger pro.
Added uninstall feature for bash.
(62 stars)
The developer will not respond to the error message I get about mounting with RW permission while installing a necessary bash shell. I've emailed them repeatedly. They simply don't care.
(62 stars)
App does not shut off logging, nor does uninstall bash option work. The log will continue to grow despite size restictions on it. Log was 42MB by time problem was identified. I had to manually remove shell redirection and delete files. Good thing I'm no
(62 stars)
So this app is perfect for me. Easy to use, filter helps to hone in. My third Stericson app, good Dev. Rooted Droidx
(62 stars)
and a responsive dev!
(62 stars)
specially if you're paranoid or curious about what your apps are doing, plus it gives your phone the power of a full featured bash shell :)
(62 stars)
The dev is exteremely responsive and a great person. Though I have a few things I would like the app to have which it currently does not, in terms of what it claims to offer, it's absolutely fantastic!
(62 stars)
If your looking to log shell commands, this is it. Simple U. I, easy to use. Want to see what some apps are doing behind your back? /boom, recommend purchase. Look forward to the updates.

Applying to Study for a BFA
The University of Oxford has one admissions process each year for its undergraduate degree programmes, and an application in 2014 would now be for entry to the Ruskin in 2015.
The next date for applying to study at BFA at the Ruskin is 15th October 2014 when you will need to submit a completed UCAS application form online via UCAS: http://www.ucas.com and then a portfolio to the Ruskin.
Submissions of portfolios must then be delivered to the Ruskin by 12 noon on 7th November 2014.
The Ruskin offers three Open Days each academic year, when you are welcome to come to Oxford and visit the Ruskin, the Fine Art Department of the University. Attending an Open Day is a good idea, as it offers you an opportunity to meet some of the tutors and students, tour the studios and generally find out more about the school, the BFA course and the admissions process. The dates are advertised on our website and there is no requirement to book to secure a place: http://www.ruskin-sch.ox.ac.uk/about/open_days
The attached documents offer guidance on all aspects of the University's admission process, as it relates to Fine Art undergraduates.
For more detailed information about the collegiate system, visiting Oxford, academic requirements and student funding, please refer to the Undergraduate Admissions website: http://www.admissions.ox.ac.uk

Just a quick one, as a healer: Please don't use Iceblock on Asphyxiate. Asphyxiate only stresses out healers that don't know how that fight works. Asphyxiate will never kill anyone, and Stay of Execution will take care of that problem, as usually you let it tick once or twice.
In truth, as long as the DPS is interrupting properly, the only one who needs heals on Ashbury is the tank. Everyone else can get by on incidental AOE heals. Save that iceblock for when someone screws up an interrupt or misses a dispel instead ;)
The best thing a mage can do is prepare to counterspell Stay of Execution at 2-3 ticks. :) That makes healers happy. Also, it's nice for dps not to freak out when their health stays at around 30-40% for the duration of the fight. I leave everyone about there until Dark Archangel, and I've had some groups fuss about that. Never mind that it's a mana drain and pointless ... I ramble.

This is the profile of the 2013 class:
Size: 57 students
Number of MPA students: 41
Number of MIPA Students: 16
Number of women: 25
Number of men: 32
Wisconsin Residents: 63%
Out-of-State: 37% (Minnesota, Ohio, Illinois, Nebraska, Connecticut, Texas, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Iowa, California, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, China, Ecuador)
International Students: 2
Age range: 21-56
Average age: 26
Average years of work experience: 3
Average GRE Quantitative: 65th percentile
Average GRE Verbal: 78th percentile
Average Analytical Writing Score: 4.4
No, you must submit GRE test scores that are no older than 5 years; no substitutions are accepted.
La Follette Professor David Weimer says in his textbook "Policy Analysis Concepts and Practice" (Weimer, Vining, third edition), public policy analysis is "client-oriented advice relevant to public decisions and informed by social values." Policy analysis requires statistical, evaluation and microeconomic analysis skills which the La Follette program provides.
The La Follette School does offer 8 fellowships and 2-5 scholarships each year to students based on merit.
All applicants that apply on-line before January 1st and have completed admission files are automatically considered for La Follette School Fellowships and Scholarships. These fellowships are awarded based on academic performance, GRE scores, recommendation letters, good fit for a public service career, undergraduate institution, and general experience. Typically they offer a stipend of $11,000 that is paid in nine monthly allotments of $1.222.22 before taxes. These fellowships also waive non-resident tuition, which can be a substantial tuition savings for those who are not Wisconsin state residents. All Fellows are responsible for resident tuition. Last year two scholarships of about $12,000 each were awarded to 3 students to cover in-state tuition.
Other benefits that are part of a La Follette School Fellowship are a comprehensive health care package, and priority consideration for a second year of financial support in the form of a Project Assistantship, providing a Fellow demonstrates satisfactory academic progress towards the degree. Project Assistantships waive all tuition, provide a monthly stipend in return for approximately 13 hours of research work a week, most likely under the direction of a professor with a mutual research interest, and the continuation of the same health care benefit package enjoyed as a Fellow.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison institution code is 1846.
The La Follette faculty believe that students need skills in public management and policy analysis to be effective administrators and policy analysts.
After students take the core courses they can choose to specialize more in management or in policy analysis depending on which electives they choose. A student who prefers to work in non-profit or management might take electives such as Advanced Management, Performance Management and Personnel Management. A student who plans to become an analyst can choose to take electives such as Program Evaluation, Advanced Statistical Methods for Public Policy and Benefit-Cost Analysis.
Students are hired for positions in various departments of local, state and federal government, higher education, non-profits organizations, and private consulting firms. See 2011 and 2010 graduation information. They work as policy analysts, department managers, non-profit directors, budget analysts, and in many other capacities. See alumni profiles.
For the MPA, recommended preparatory courses are introductory microeconomics, upper level algebra OR calculus and an American government course. For the MIPA recommended preparation courses are introductory microeconomics and macroeconomics, upper level algebra or calculus, equivelent of fours semesters of a of a second language or study/work abroad experience, and a course in comparative politics or international relations. For both programs, students who have not taken a microeconomics course but have strong quantitative skills, may be able to waive the microeconomics prerequisite course.
See Admissions.
A student can apply without completing prerequisites coursework. If the application is strong in other ways (for example, strong GRE scores, relevant experience) the admissions committee may decide to admit the student based on other evidence of ability to do well in the program.
Leaders in government agencies and nonprofit organizations are called upon to report on the performance of the programs that they manage. They have to be able to showcase the advantages and disadvantages of programs with regard to cost and social value. To make a compelling case for the relative effect of a particular program requires an understanding of basic statistical concepts. Such professional skills are badly needed in the nonprofit area, and La Follette School graduates have an advantage when competing for higher level administrative positions.
Students take the core required courses and acquire skills that will allow them to work in a variety of types of administration and policy. Students can tailor their studies to develop a focus on one or two types of policy such as health, education, social and poverty, environmental, trade & finance, security, and international development policy. They do this by carefully selecting electives offered by public affairs faculty and by other departments on campus. See focus fields.
At the University of Wisconsin-Madison a dual degree means a program is the combination of one professional degree and a graduate degree such as Law and public affairs. Students may also choose to pursue the double degree of the Master's of Public Affairs and an MS in Urban Planning and Regional Studies. To see all of the double degrees, certificates, and how to apply to them please see double degree programs.
Applications must be postmarked on or before January 1 to have priority consideration for admission and for the La Follette School fellowship and other scholarships. All other applications are reviewed on a rolling admissions basis: if there is room in the class applications will continue to be reviewed.
No, fall admission only.
There are three steps to the application process.
Step 1. Apply on-line to the University of Wisconsin - Madison Graduate School. Complete the online application, upload resume and statement of purpose.
Please refer to the following websites for instructions and information.
Graduate School Checklist
Graduate School Requirements
Graduate School Online Letters of Recommendation Process
Submit three letters at http://info.gradsch.wisc.edu/admin/admissions/elorinstructions.html
Of the three references, two should be from faculty members who are familiar with the applicant's academic work.
The statement of purpose can be uploaded to the application or emailed to email@example.com.
A resume can be uploaded to electronic application or emailed to email@example.com.
Step 2. Send all higher education transcripts directly to:
Admissions Committee, La Follette School of Public Affairs
1225 Observatory Drive, Madison, Wisconsin 53706.
One official transcript from each school is required. Students do not need to send transcripts from institutions at which they took unrelated courses and are not from their BA or BS granting institution.
Step 3. Once you have taken the GRE and/or TOEFL be sure that the Educational Testing Service (ETS) has the code 1846 to electronically submit your scores to the University of Wisconsin.
MPA is 837; MIPA is 577. Students can apply for up to 3 programs with one application.
La Follette awards fellowships and scholarships to students based on merit. All students including international students are eligible to apply. See Costs and Financial Aid.
Follow the Graduate School's online
Letters of Recommendation Instructions.
International applicants may apply for admission into either the MIPA or
MPA program. However, international applicants should be aware that their
background will be an asset when applying to the MIPA program. Those
applicants interested in the MPA program are advised that the MPA program
assumes a good knowledge of American government and that MPA graduates
generally intend to apply their learning in a U.S. setting.
No. All applications will be considered for La Follette School Fellowships and Scholarships. Priority consideration is given to
applications submitted by January 1.
You can check the status of your own application through your UW student center. Your student center information will be sent to you as soon as you submit an application to the graduate school.
Applications are carefully reviewed by an Admissions Committee made up of La
Follette School faculty and an administrator. The committee looks for evidence of strong academic
achievement, relevant experience, and potential for success in the public affairs graduate
programs and capacity to do well in a public service career.
The admissions office will begin sending admission emails and fellowship/scholarship letters in late February. If a letter
does not mention a fellowship offer, the applicant should look to outside
sources for funding.
If you wish to visit the La Follette School please call 608.262.3581
or email email@example.com. We will arrange for you to meet an advisor, a faculty member and/or set up a time for you to visit a class.
Yes. Applicants accepted for entry in the fall will be encouraged to
visit Madison and the La Follette School on a visit day in March or April,
prior to the notification deadline. Accepted applicants may visit at any
time, although the visit day is when faculty are scheduled to meet and talk
to prospective students, and when you can meet potential classmates.
Students will be notified of the visit day shortly after acceptance.

Father knows best in Darth Vader and SonDarth Vader was a pretty good father — at least he wanted to be. Think about it: He's only prevented from attending the birth of his children by Obi-Wan Kenobi. He asks Luke to "rule the galaxy as father and son." And he throws Emperor Palpatine down the Death Star's reactor shaft to stop him from killing his son."I would think that Vader would be, in a way, a good father that would raise a bad person," cartoonist Jeffrey Brown says. "He would be one of those fathers who's very stern — not very warm and cuddly, but trying to impart his knowledge and values on his child. I think that most people would think that imparting your values on your children is an important part of parenting, but when your values are, you know, killing people, [it's] maybe not so good."

Jedi Knights at the museum: Unleash your inner child, you can, at Star Wars IdentitiesTwo years in the making by Montreal's X3 Productions, the exhibition at Montreal's Science Centre is partly an educational display aimed at explaining and exploring the concept of identity, and partly a shrine to some 200 props, costumes, and "artifacts" from George Lucas's two Star Wars film trilogies. In an attempt to thread both aspects together, the museum uses high-tech bracelets to track visitors' choices throughout the exhibition, so that everyone can create a Star Wars-esque character from scratch.Each visitor picks a species (e.g., human, Wookiee, Ewok), genetic traits, personality traits, a mentor and so on, ending up with one of 50 million-odd possible personalized "heroes."

I make this recipe all the time. It's one of my favorites and now a standard. I do change two things. I use canned tomatoes, but I puree them in the blender first. Otherwise, it's not soupy enough and has big chunks of tomato in it. I also do not use the green pepper. It just didn't work right. Otherwise, I follow the recipe exactly. The cilantro and hot pepper really give recipe a good taste. We love it.
I was more than a little disappointed by how bland this was. Of course, seafood in Nebraska is somewhat of an oxymoron. I tried jazzing it up without much success. Luckily the people I was making it for were not as disappointed as I was.
I used swordfish instead of the red snapper/orange roughy and it tasted wonderful. Next time I'll use larger shrimp, so that the deveining doesn't take so long.
We made this a couple of times. The first time we liked it a lot. Then, we didn't think it to be so great. My husband made me throw away the recipe, although I might sneak it in again some night. Work with it.
this got rave reviews from my co-workers! suggest assembling/measuring all ingredients first. then putting it all together is a snap! delicious and filling! next time i'll experiment with additional/different types of seafood. the carrots were a good addition, and so was a tad more crushed red pepper and garlic.
A great tasting meal that is quick and easy to prepare. The flavour of cilantro really adds to the dish. I included mussels along with the other seafood as well as carrots and other vegetables to add more colour and texture.

CONVICTION is the inspirational true story of a sister's unwavering devotion to her brother. When Betty Anne Waters' (two-time Academy Award winner Hilary Swank) older brother Kenny (Sam Rockwell) is arrested for murder and sentenced to life in 1983, Betty Anne, a Massachusetts wife and mother of two, dedicates her life to overturning the murder conviction. Convinced that her brother is innocent, Betty Anne puts herself through high school, college and, finally, law school in an 18 year quest to

Traditional and unambitious it may be, but 'Conviction' is a good tale persuasively told.
It's a solid if somewhat straightforward story of sacrifice and allegiance.
Tony Goldwyn directed a cast that ranges from the excellent (Minnie Driver as a fellow attorney, Melissa Leo as a crooked cop) to the laughable (Juliette Lewis as a trashy woman whose perjured testimony helps put the brother away).
What makes Conviction worth seeing is its depiction of a self-immolating crusader.
In the hands of Hilary Swank, Sam Rockwell and a strong supporting cast, this earnest film manages to tug a few heartstrings and say something important in the process.
[Swank] fails to ever really make us care about, let alone buy into, Betty Anne as a human being.
Conviction is way too routine, not fleshed out enough and rather uninspired. I'd recommend it for a watch just for the performances alone but that's it.
Hilary Swank won her two Oscars for other films, but this may be her best performance yet.
Hilary Swank delivers in this compelling tale of a woman who attends law school to prove her brother's innocence in court.
What the film ends up being is a by-the-numbers procedural that takes us from Kenny's arrest to his sister trying to get him free to the inevitable outcome.
It's based on a true story, which is a very inspiring story, sure ... but as a drama, it just isn't interesting.
La historia tiene todos los elementos de esas t�picas pel�culas para televisi�n basadas en hechos reales. Pero las estupendas actuaciones de Hilary Swank y Sam Rockwell la convierten en una opci�n digna y emotiva.
Jaw set resolutely forward but upper lip aquiver with emotion, Hilary Swank plays a remarkable crusader for justice in this stirring true-story drama.
I can see why director Tony Goldwyn has been drawn to the story for over a decade. I'm just not sure the end result completely works.
This Lifetime movie is a really good Lifetime movie, cut thick like a fried potato wedge at Chili's, dipped in Academy Award-flavored dressing and, dang it, kind of moving. And I told myself I wouldn't cry.
It's a little too convinced of its own righteousness and doesn't see enough need for character doubt or drama. In many spots in fact it's quite good, but it thinks it's better than it is and doesn't see any reason to make it's own case.
Conviction is unashamedly straightforward in showing how a lot of hard work and sheer willpower was able to correct an injustice.
Goldwyn isn't an amazing director, but there are pretty good performers in this film.
Hilary Swank and Sam Rockwell, the latter portraying Kenny as an uncontrollable force of nature, and also Melissa Leo, who is quietly powerful as the arresting officer, are all excellent.
If Conviction had felt as edgy and urgent as Lewis' performance, brimming with surprising comedy and unhinged tension, then it would be far more enticing.
A fascinating story which has been told in a not-so-fascinating manner.
Audience Reviews for Conviction
Super Reviewer
Did I mention that this film also tries to rely on star power? Hillary Swank takes the lead as the sister of a convicted murderer. Sadly she doesn't do a lot of heavy lifting here, but I suppose she is sincere enough, though hemmed in by the aforementioned plodding and overripe plot. She does well at setting her jaw and showing the dogged, against all odds determination that the role requires. However, Sam Rockwell is the real deal in the film, demanding your attention in every scene he's in, as he plays the "bad boy" who gets tabbed for the in home robbery and murder of an elderly neighbor.
The film attempts to heighten the drama by playing cat and mouse with the "did he do it?" question, but later fall flat as it glosses over some of the police procedural aspects, while dwelling too long on others. The courtroom scenes in which the prosecution parades a series of damning testimonies is almost laughable - I was just waiting for his attorney to object or drill holes into the flimsy narratives, but it never came - yet another example of how the film tries to manipulate and ram "the facts" down your throat, with no regard to how the hole thing plays.
The wonderful Mellissa Leo is miscast and underused as the female cop (another faux pas as she is somehow the lead investigator and isn't even a detective... oops), and Minnie Driver as the "buddy" of the film is also underused - what a waste of two fine acting talents.
The film seemed as if it couldn't decide whether it was a police procedural mystery, or a human character study - and as is usually the case when a film can't decide - it failed at both.
Still, there is enough to chew on here to give this a marginal passing grade. I was nodding in agreement at the inferred bit of human nature as the prosecuting attorney, now a high powered political wheeler dealer, tries to block the investigation - not wanting to admit that perhaps they convicted the wrong man, she'd rather defy the basic tenants of her profession "let justice be served".
The film adds a final tag that tells us that over 700 convictions have been overturned due to the reopening of cases to allow for DNA evidence. That's just swell, unless you're aware that there is a backlog of over 100,000 cases waiting DNA testing.

What ultimately raises Conviction beyond your conventional "triumph over adversity" account, is the acting. Hilary Swank and Sam Rockwell are Betty Anne and Kenny, respectively. As siblings they convey a deep bond as family who have grown up together and remained close into adulthood. We see them as kids and then as adults, willingly supporting each other at various points throughout. Their portrayals are genuine and engaging. Betty Anne's devotion to her brother is the emotional connection that causes the viewer to be invested in this material.
Director Tony Goldwyn will always be best remembered as playing the villain, Carl Bruner, in Ghost. But he has also directed a significant number of TV shows including The L Word, Grey's Anatomy and Dexter. He's a workmanlike director and his comfortableness with TV often pushes the proceedings here into Lifetime movie territory . At times the plot can appear a bit simplistic in the way it unfolds. Great performances are what elevates the melodramatic script to something much more powerful. Impressive depictions from a talented cast make Conviction a film to believe in.
Super Reviewer
This is one of those movies that is worth watching for the performances. The acting in this movie is phenomenal, the story itself is rather dull like nothing that a episode of Cold Case wouldn't provide you with.
The true story of Betty Anne (Swank) who gets a lawyers degree to free her brother whom she claim is innocent from perpetual jail sentence. The story shows Betty Annes dedication and brings forth themes of family and justice.
I only truly highly recommend this movie for the cast and the acting in it. Hillary Swank is spectacular she really is. However, Minnie Driver, Sam Rockwell, Peter Gallagher, and Melissa Leo are too great. Overall this is a movie that I recommend going at your own risk, personally I found it rather good.
Betty Anne Waters: "You do it, or I'll kill you. That's your sister and your lawyer talking."

Carl Weinschenk spoke with Kelly Davis-Felner, the marketing director for the Wi-Fi Alliance. The alliance late last month released a survey on passenger reaction to Wi-Fi on planes.
Weinschenk: Please describe the research the alliance did.
Davis-Felner: As the industry body for Wi-Fi technology, we from time to time poll Wi-Fi users and get a sense for what trends are out there, what they are using the technology for and how it is continuing to grow and expand. Like everyone else, we've seen an interest in Wi-Fi in flight. Most airlines in the U.S. have rolled out and we thought this may be a good time to see what their experiences are while they are using it.
"... 76 percent of people said they would base their airline choice on the availability of Wi-Fi."
The research was done by Wakefield Research. The survey involved 480 travelers. They were screened on having taken six flights in the last 12 months. Obviously, they had to be 18 years or older. When you dive into some of the responses, it's clear that a pretty significant majority were business travelers.
Weinschenk: What were the most interesting things you found?
Davis-Felner: There were three really juicy tidbits we got out of it. One was that 71 percent of people chose Wi-Fi [as something they want] over meal service in flight. A little over half -- 55 percent -- said they would change their travel plans by one day to get Wi-Fi. When we wrote the question, we never thought we would see that willingness to be that flexible. It's a testament to how helpless people feel without Wi-Fi, how disconnected people feel in flight. The third interesting thing was that 76 percent of people said they would base their airline choice on the availability of Wi-Fi.
Weinschenk: What is the bottom line, from your perspective?
Davis-Felner: The bottom line is that people want Wi-Fi in the sky the same way they want it on earth. We're seeing the same phenomenon in the sky that we've seen during the last 10 years in convention centers, hotels, airports [and elsewhere].
Weinschenk: Was the choice of Wi-Fi over in-flight food service more related to Wi-Fi or the quality of airline food?
Davis-Felner: I'll refrain from commenting on that.
Weinschenk: Can you tell us what people are using Wi-Fi for on planes?
Davis-Felner: We have lots of pretty interesting stats. We split out part of the sample, and carved out 150 responders who had used Wi-Fi in flight and asked what they had used it for. Among those people, 72 percent said to check personal e-mail, 68 percent said to check their work e-mail, 49 percent said they browsed the Web, 35 percent said they streamed video or music, and 22 percent used social networking applications like Facebook.
Weinschenk: What do the folks who hadn't used Wi-Fi want it for?
Davis-Felner: Eighty-seven percent said they would check e-mail, 78 percent said they would check personal e-mail, 63 percent said they would log onto work-related system such as sales and reporting tools.
Weinschenk: What was the most surprising thing that you found?
Davis-Felner: The most surprising was the number of folks who would choose an airline based on the availability of Wi-Fi.
Weinschenk: It's funny, business people used to say that being on a plane was a respite from the demands of work. I guess that perception is changing in this world of near-ubiquitous connectivity.
Davis-Felner: We asked a lot of questions on the stress of traveling and what makes it hard. Almost 20 percent of people said getting behind on work is their biggest frustration.
Weinschenk: Please describe briefly how the connection between the plane and the network below works.
Davis-Felner: What is a little tricky is that there are two ways to do the backhaul for Wi-Fi-enabled airplanes. One is based on land-based cellular towers. The same towers that power your phone provide the backhaul. That method won't work over an ocean, so it won't work on international flights. The other uses a satellite backhaul. Here in the U.S., there are two providers that we are hearing a lot about, Aircell and Row 44. Aircell uses cellular, Row 44 uses satellite backhaul.
Weinschenk: No airlines offer voice calls in the United States. Is this also the case worldwide?
Davis-Felner: There are air carriers that allow cellular calls in the air. Presumably, if that airline allows you to make cellular voice calls it may let you make VoIP calls as well. VoIP calls are blocked in some deployments.
Weinschenk: My understanding is that there is no actual rule against VoIP voice calls in the United States, but that the airlines disallow them on a voluntary basis.
Davis-Felner: That's my understanding too.
Weinschenk: Do you think VoIP on planes is a good idea?
Davis-Felner: I'm a little skeptical for two reasons. I think passengers express strong concern about people using cell phones for voice on planes. An airline doing that would risk a lot of passenger dissatisfaction. Second, the user experience would involve sounds that are colossally unpleasant. I find on my very, very advanced cell phone that I still have cellular delay, even in the office. When you overlay ambient noise on the aircraft, I find it hard to believe it would be a satisfactory user experience. I am not convinced that the demand is there.
Weinschenk: How aggressive are U.S. carriers?
Davis-Felner: It varies by carriers. A number have announced aggressive plans. The one that most quickly comes to mind is Southwest. Within the last month, they announced plans to deploy it fleet-wide in the next year. Southwest is very clear about their desire to attract more business travelers and so this is another thing they can do. It's a fairly easy thing to do from the logistical point of view because their fleet is uniform. They have one kind of plane, the 737.
It is important to also note announcements from American. They are trialing Wi-Fi and I think I read that they have plans to have it on all their MD-80s-their most frequently used domestic aircraft -- within the next year. Delta has trials in place. United has trials in place. Alaska Airlines is pretty close to having Wi-Fi fleet-wide. I think Virgin has it fleet-wide.
Weinschenk: At the end of the day, is this almost solely about business users?
Davis-Felner: I don't think so. We see consumer usage as well. Some of it depends on the pricing model. If airlines keep it as a for-fee service, there will be some point at which people probably become hesitant to pay. Business travelers that need to be connected will be happy to pay that fee. That said, people pay for Wi-Fi hotspots on the ground. There is no reason that changes. It's pretty easy to see that there is quite a bit of demand from people of every stripe.

Liquid White Paper
Purpose-Built: Modern Tools for Hunting Alpha
I. Attracting AUM: Process & Transparency
Historically, two primary criteria have factored into hedge fund managers' ability to attract new assets: performance and pedigree. Today, those criteria have expanded as hedge funds face new industry challenges such
as changing fee models, crowded markets, and new regulations, as well as investor mandates for transparency and operational credibility.
As detailed in Ernst & Young's 2012 investor survey, "hedge funds still believe recent investment performance is important more often than investors do, and although investors clearly look at past performance, confidence in the people and in the processes that will generate future returns and manage risk-taking, respectively, are at least as equally important."
For small businesses and especially hedge funds, competing for new clients and fresh capital requires the longest operating runway possible. Aside from a track record of performance, longer operating runways build client confidence in the team and the processes in place to manage operations.

Its very very very easy to get hacked just by surfing if you don't follow those advices.

The Daily Face - April 25, 2012 - Smoke
under eyes: Make Up For Ever HD Concealer in 325
eyeshadow: Illamasqua Powder Eye Shadow in Obsidian, Tom For Eye Color Quad in Titanium Smoke, MAC Eyeshadow in Satin Taupe
eye brows: MAC Brow Pencil in Fling
eye lashes: MAC Haute & Naughty Mascara
lips: NARS Lipstick in Shanghai Express
The smokey eye is a makeup staple, but can get a little boring, so it's important to test out a bunch of smokey variations.
For this look I started by applying the grey shade in the Tom Ford Quad to the lid from lash line to crease and into the inner corner of the lid, up to the brow. Basically you want shadow on every part of the lid except the brow bone. Also, apply this same shadow into the lower lash line from corner to corner
Next I applied black shadow to the lid concentrating the pigment near the lash line and blending upward, but not into the crease.
Then I applied Satin Taupe shadow into and slightly above the crease, as well as in the inner corner of the eye all the way up to the brow.
Apply lots of mascara, obviously.
I finished the look by mixing a small about of Shanghai Express with chapstick and applied as a stain.
Next I applied the sparkly black shadow in the Tom Ford Quad right along the lash line on the top lid and along the outer edge of the lower lid.
Thursday night smokey eye make up? I think yes!

Moffat: Doctor Who Must Be 'funny and exciting'
Peoples of the universe, please attend carefully: Doctor Who show-runner Steven Moffat has given a rather interesting interview to WorldScreen.com. In it, he talks about why Doctor Who has lasted for so long, his reservations about bringing Sherlock back, and why he doesn't listen to people on Twitter!
When quizzed about his plans for the show when he first took over from Russell T Davies, Moffat was quite clear:
I just wanted it to be good. People always want me to have some form of agenda. Sometimes in desperation I say I want it to be a fairy tale or I want it to be this or that. I just wanted it to be a good Doctor Who. The thing about Doctor Who is it's a different show every week. It speaks with a different voice on a weekly basis. It must be fast moving. It must be funny and exciting. Those were all present in Russell's era and I hope they are all present in mine. I serve at the pleasure of the TARDIS [the time machine in Doctor Who].
And if anybody is still holding out for a return of the Plasmatons, they might be disappointed. This is what Mr Moffat had to say about old monsters returning to Who:
When it first came back, if we hadn't done the Daleks or the Cybermen or The Master, it wouldn't have felt like Doctor Who. Now, the two eras of the show have merged into one big glorious tapestry. It is better to add to the mythology than to draw from it. I have a slight fear that the first appearance of any given monster is always the best. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't bring them back if people love them. It's an age-old debate. I think I'd probably rather invent new [monsters].
Of course, it's always great to see the strange, strange creatures of the Doctor Who universe, whether classic or brand new! And, even if you're not a fan of Steven Moffat's work, his interview to WorldScreen is a very frank and honest one, and well worth a read.
8 Responses to Moffat: Doctor Who Must Be 'funny and exciting'
And the Moff has indeed created some great creatures/monsters during the new series. The Clockwork men, The Weeping Angels, The Vashta Narada, but as I think about it, those were all for the RTD era. Aside from The Silence, I'm struggling to think of any *really* impressive monsters created during the Moffat era that would be worthy of a return. It gives credence to the notion that the Moff has shifted his attention to story arcs and tent-pole stories, instead of creating new monsters and memorable alien races. I guess *maybe* the headless monks……
Although credit due for new and interesting character such as the Victorian Trio, River and the like.
True – I'm trying to think of any other examples beyond the Silence…nope, still can't. I like Moffat and his era but it's disappointing to think he hasn't created any other monsters worthy of a rematch.
I agree about the Headless Monks…they were quite cool but not really 'iconic'…but I wouldn't mind seeing them again….the best bit was when they did that spooky chanting before their attack. Creepy and cool. They should have made an action figure that might have helped establish them in the playground a bit more.
Can we have Dorium Maldovar back though please? either pre-chop or with a new body…I know he's not a monster…but he was great.
Agreed, Dorian was great and really, just him as a floating head on a platform would be fantastic! More proof of some of the great characters he's added during his reign if not monsters. I'd welcome back the headless monks as well.
How could they chant if they had no heads?…
Dorium would make a great companion. You could weld his head to a cyber-body.
I agree with the lack of an Iconic monster. The Whispermen had potential but no sooner are they introduced than we move on. I could even argue that his era has weakened an old monster: The Silurians. Making them appear human has taken away some of their impact.
I think having more human Silurians isn't a bad thing. The point the Doctor would make is that we're not all that different from them, so giving them more facial expression and emotional range is a good thing for the storytelling.
I agree that Moffat has been using his creative powers for other things since taking over as show runner. But I guess it makes sense that he can't always be coming up with brilliant new monsters while he's also busy planning a whole new doctor and new companions (I think Amy and Rory were brilliant and iconic in their own right).
Still, I miss the days where he had time to put all his effort into a single episode, because back then every single one was always one of the show's best. I've really loved the Matt Smith era of course, but I know and expect that he'll step down sooner or later, and I just hope that when that happens he doesn't pull an RTD and stop submitting scripts. Maybe we can get some new, brilliant monsters from him then!
Astonishing. A balanced thread by reasonable adults about Steven Moffat, in which no one has posted "Moffat is a liar and has killed Doctor Who!" etc. Nor the polar opposite, "Moffat is an awesome godlike genius!"
At least, not yet.
"People always want me to have some form of agenda. Sometimes in desperation I say I want it to be…. this or that."
- The poisoned chalice that is the Doctor Who showrunner's job in a nutshell. Like Russell T Davies before him, every word he utters is subject to microscopic over-analysis, leading to accusations that he's 'a liar' or doesn't know what he's doing.
And the next incumbent will get the same, too, no matter what he/she does in the series itself.
On the topic of monsters, I do like a good old-fashioned monster season, and the likes of Tennant's second run was a great example of one. But on recent rewatch of Smith's first season, I got the impression that Moffat was trying to do something different, a bit like Philip Hinchcliffe when he declared he wanted to move the villains/threats away from 'men in rubber monster suits'. So the cracks in time were a more substantial threat than any trad monsters.
Fair play to him for trying something else, and it was similarly noticeable in Moffat's/Smith's second season that, aside from Closing Time, the returning monsters were all used as cameos rather than as the main threats.

The railroad crossing signal on Bartlett Bay Road malfunctioned Thursday and has now been taken out of service until it can be repaired.
That means there is no warning of an approaching train and the safety gates will not come down.
So, police are urging motorists to stop and check both ways before crossing the tracks.

Wireless routers aren't exactly the most exciting products out there, but they serve a very important purpose — how else would you get your latest tech news? That being said, Belkin has come out with a new range of routers that are nice-looking and come with some interesting features. For the tech-illiterate, the 802.11n routers (besides the cheapest $49.99 model) come pre-set up with their own SSID and encryption, making it less easy for stealing your neighbor's WiFi.
In addition, starting with the $79.99 2.4GHz Share model, each router has a USB 2.0 port that connects to external HDDs and printers, working with Belkin's own software for printing and backups. The $129.99 dual-band Gigabit Play Max also includes the Vuze Torrent Genie, which will keep your downloads going on even if your PC isn't on. All that in a router sounds pretty sweet to me.
Each router is expected to be available in April. Prices range from $49.99 to $129.99.

in the Making
About to deliver a talk at a neuro-psychiatry meeting, Jim Brasic approached the podium with confidence. He knew his topic backwards and forwards. He'd rehearsed. He had 50 slides and a videotape, and the equipment was working like a charm. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
But it did. Part way through his presentation, while looking out onto an audience of experts he sought to impress, Brasic's mind went completely blank. Hitting another slide, he barely recovered.
Probably few knew what had happened, but Brasic, a postdoctoral fellow in a neuroimaging lab, was determined not to let it happen again. He knew that speaking well is particularly important in a scientific career because scientists frequently must explain their work to others. "And I realized that I'd been avoiding speaking for years because I had stage fright."
Several months later, out of town at another professional meeting, Brasic was introduced to Toastmasters, the self-improvement club that dedicates itself to honing public speaking and leadership skills. Impressed, he got on the Internet in search of a local club and found one right here at Johns Hopkins.
Hopkins Toastmasters began life in 1999 as a student club based at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. Today, while students predominate, membership includes faculty and staff of all ages from across the East Baltimore campus.
At weekly club meetings, members deliver prepared and impromptu speeches. One evaluates the talks; another, the "grammarian," counts "ums" and "ahs" and scrutinizes syntax.
Faisal Karmali, a doctoral student in biomedical engineering and club president for two years, joined Toastmasters when he was just 20. "I saw the value of speaking publicly. You get more exposure. The return is almost immediate. After joining, I noticed the difference the next time I went for a job interview," says Karmali. "It's important to get over your nervousness, and Toastmasters teaches you how to channel it into energy."Brasic, meanwhile, has racked up Toastmaster awards and won contests, including second place in the division with an extemporaneous speech. He's now president of Hopkins Toastmasters, and in the two years since he joined the club, he's delivered dozens of speeches. As for his stage fright, it's but a distant memory.
—Anne Bennett Swingle
Hopkins Toastmasters meets on Mondays at either noon or 5:30 p.m. Membership dues are $5.50 monthly, plus a $20 one-time fee for a new-member packet. Info: Jim Brasic, firstname.lastname@example.com
