Movie Interviews
Marion Cotillard, Diving Deep In 'Rust And Bone'
Originally published on Wed November 28, 2012 5:47 pm
The latest film for Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard, Rust and Bone, is a French art film about two broken individuals who find love at the edge of the sea. It's poetic, lyrical — and not necessarily playing at a theater near you.
That was not the case earlier this summer, when Cotillard appeared as one of the central characters in the blockbuster Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises.
Cotillard first came to Hollywood's attention in 2008, when she won the Oscar for best actress. She was the face of Dior, but hardly recognizable in her stunning performance as Edith Piaf in the film La Vie en Rose.
Cotillard speaks with NPR's Robert Siegel about her role as an amputee, her life as the child of actors and her love of the English language.
Interview Highlights
On the scene where her character realizes she has lost her legs
"That was a hard scene to get, because it's hard to imagine what would be your reaction when you wake up and you realize that you miss your two legs. So we did different versions, and we ended up with, like, this state of shock. Like, she cannot even scream. It's really a shock. What we hear in that take is almost nothing. Almost an inner struggle, and that leads to the question, 'What did you do with my legs?' Which is a crazy question."
On the special effects required for the movie
"We worked with amazing CGI guys, and when I was in the wheelchair, I was — I would just fold my legs in a special space that they had created, built in the wheelchair. And when I was like, with bare legs, I wore green socks most of the time, with little dots on those socks. And they, they just erased my legs in post-production. But what was really incredible is that they were on set all the time, those guys. And they were so talented, so fast, so discreet that it was really as if I had no legs on set. The technical aspect never got in our way."
On the sex scenes in the film
"You know when it's an awkward situation, you have to do something out of it. ... But those scenes were very special, because usually I'm not very comfortable with sex scenes. But that time was very different, because the sex is a big part of this movie. Without it, we would miss something.
"Something happened to me on set when we were filming those scenes. ... I was very happy for my character, because she went through so much and, and then suddenly she's gonna reconnect with sexuality — with her sexuality.
"Usually I'm in a very bad state ... on those days with sex scenes, but on this movie, it was very, very different. I accepted much easier."
On how she learned English
"Well, first of all, I love English language, so it makes it easier. And also when, when I was in Los Angeles in 2008, and I met with Michael Mann and he — we did this movie together, I really had to work on my American accent. And I worked for four months, every day, with a dialect coach, and I improved my English a lot. I still have a lot of work, but I feel much more comfortable than a few years ago when I got here and I couldn't express myself properly."
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Melissa Block.
And I'm Robert Siegel.
The Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard's latest movie is a French film about two broken individuals who find love at the edge of the sea. It's poetic, beautiful to look at and not necessarily playing at a theater near you. But this summer, you could see Ms. Cotillard on screens across the country in a very different kind of movie, the blockbuster "Batman" sequel "The Dark Knight Rises."
MARION COTILLARD: (as Miranda Tate) Bruce Wayne at a charity ball?
SIEGEL: Cotillard has been a Hollywood star since 2008 when she won an Oscar for her performance as Edith Piaf in the film "La Vie En Rose."
SIEGEL: And Marion Cotillard joins us now from New York City. Ms. Cotillard, welcome to the program.
COTILLARD: Hello.
SIEGEL: If I were to tell someone that there's this French movie about a love affair between a beautiful killer whale trainer who loses her legs in an accident and an impoverished street fighter, it doesn't sound all that inviting, but it's one of the most acclaimed films of the year. It's very engaging. What is "Rust and Bone" about for you?
COTILLARD: Well, it's, what you said, a love story, a very unusual, unconventional love story between two people who were not supposed to meet. And I would replace - in your description, I would replace killer whales by orcas.
SIEGEL: That it's not a killer whale. You're sticking up for the whale or just for accuracy?
COTILLARD: I am saying it for the whale but not for the killer.
SIEGEL: The whale does terrible damage to your character.
COTILLARD: It does.
SIEGEL: You're pulled into the water, and there's a scene in which you wake up in a hospital bed, and you realize what's happened (unintelligible).
COTILLARD: What we hear in that take is almost nothing, almost an inner struggle, and that leads to the question: What did you do with my legs? Which is a crazy question.
SIEGEL: From that point on in the film, you play a woman who's lost her legs, and it is amazing what somebody in special effects did with this...
COTILLARD: Yeah.
SIEGEL: ...movie because you look as though you have no legs below the knees. How did they do this?
COTILLARD: Well, we worked with amazing CGI guys. And when I was in the wheelchair, I was - I would just fold my legs in a special space that they had created, built in the wheelchair. And when I was like with bare legs, I wore green socks most of the time and with little dots on those socks, and they just erased my legs in postproduction. But what was really incredible was that they were on set all the time, those guys. And they were so discreet that it was really as if I had no legs on set.
SIEGEL: Was the whole special effects team there also for the sex scene where you don't have legs?
COTILLARD: Well, yeah.
SIEGEL: Yeah.
COTILLARD: That created pretty funny situations because that was when I would do shadows on Matthias Schoenaerts, my co-star. I would do shadows on his back, and we can use certain takes because of that. So we were directed by Jacques Audiard but also of those two guys, and we just had a lot of fun. It's usually what happens during sex scenes. You have a lot fun. So you can relax, you know?
SIEGEL: This might strike some people as a rather awkward situation to be in, but no?
COTILLARD: Well, you know, when it's an awkward situation, you have to do something out of it and - but that was - those scenes were very special because the sex is a big part of this movie. Without it, we would miss something. And also, something happened to me on set when we were filming those scenes. It was that me, myself, I was very happy for my character because she went through so much, and then suddenly, she's going to reconnect with sexuality, with her sexuality. And so it was - usually, I'm really in a very bad state when I on those days with sex scenes, but on this movie, it was very, very different. I accepted much easier.
SIEGEL: I want to ask you something completely different here. This is an exchange from Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" in which you played the mistress of Pablo Picasso. This is a little bit of dialogue between you and the actor Owen Wilson.
COTILLARD: (as Adriana) For me, "La Belle Epoque Paris" would have been perfect.
OWEN WILSON: (as Gil) Really?
COTILLARD: (as Adriana) Yes.
WILSON: Better than now?
COTILLARD: (as Adriana) Another whole sensibility, the streetlamps, the kiosks, the horse and carriages and Maxim's then.
WILSON: (as Gil) You speak very good English.
SIEGEL: Which is precisely my question. You speak very good English.
SIEGEL: How did you come by your very good English?
COTILLARD: Well, first of all, I love English language, so it makes it easier. And also when I was in Los Angeles in 2008 and I met with Michael Mann and he - we did this movie together. I really had to work on my American accent. And I worked for four months, every day with a dialect coach, and I improved my English a lot. I still have a lot of work, but I feel much more comfortable than a few years ago when I got here, and I couldn't express myself properly.
SIEGEL: Well, you expressed yourself at, you know, the Academy Awards when you won an Oscar.
COTILLARD: Oh, it was very bad English.
SIEGEL: We'll let the listeners decide. Here you are. OK.
COTILLARD: Well, I'm speechless now. I - well, I - thank you life, thank you love. And it is true, there is some angels in this city. Thank you so, so much.
SIEGEL: OK. So an English teacher would say there are some angels.
COTILLARD: There are, of course.
SIEGEL: There are some angels.
SIEGEL: Apart from that, you know, I mean, that's a point off. Otherwise, an A-minus for that.
COTILLARD: Oh, yeah? Well, it's just that I couldn't prepare anything, and what came out of my mouth was just like super fresh and not always good English, but, well, that was the way it was.
SIEGEL: Did you study English in school in France?
COTILLARD: Oh, yeah. But, you know, we study English with French teachers who have most of the time a very, very bad accent. So we learned to speak English like that, and so it's very French.
SIEGEL: That's the way Americans expect you to speak English like that.
COTILLARD: Yeah.
SIEGEL: Marion Cotillard, thank you very much for speaking with us...
COTILLARD: Thank you very much. Thank you for having me.
SIEGEL: ...in awfully good English, I might add...
COTILLARD: Thank you.
SIEGEL: ...about "Rust and Bone."
COTILLARD: Thank you. Bye.
SIEGEL: You're listening to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

A Guide to the Sacrifices that are most Fundamental to Understanding Chess
>Sacrifices are an essential part of chess. Those who never consider sacrificing will miss countless opportunities and find that promising positions repeatedly slip away. Players who do not appreciate their opponents' sacrificial possibilities will be unable to see danger signs, and find themselves on the wrong end of too many king-hunts. Rather than merely cataloguing the various possibilities and providing examples, LeMoir discusses the possible follow-ups to the sacrifices, the defensive options against them, and the positional factors that might suggest whether the sacrifice will be sound or unsound.

A New Endgame Encyclopedia for the 21st Century
In a major event in chess publishing, two German endgame experts have produced a masterly one-volume encyclopaedia that covers all major endgames. This is the first truly modern one-volume endgame encyclopaedia.

A Revealing Look at the Nuts and Bolts of Chess Thought
Thinking methods are at the heart of the chess struggle, yet most players devote little conscious effort to improving their calculating ability. Much of the previous literature on the subject has presented idealized models that have limited relevance to the hurly-burly of practical chess, or else provide little more than ad hoc suggestions. Here, experienced trainer Valeri Beim strikes a balance by explaining how to use intuition and logic together to solve tactical problems in a methodical way. He also offers advice on when it is best to calculate 'like a machine', and when it is better to rely on intuitive assessment.

Simon Williams, one of Britain's most dynamic and aggressive chess-players, has selected his favourite attacking games from the modern era, and annotated them with an infectious zeal that will inspire and instruct.

We also get insights into the role of intuition and calculation in both attack and defence
How to Crush Your Chess Opponents
Size the Moment and Take Full Advantage of Your Chances!
Chess is fundamentally a dynamic game. Each move changes the situation and the possibilities for both sides. No piece is ever identically as valuable as any other, and their scope changes from move to move. The current generation of supergrandmasters plays unrelentingly dynamic chess, but a great deal of chess literature still deals with chess as if it were a predominantly static game. Much traditional chess teaching is based around rules of thumb that might work well 'on average' or in 'typical' situations, but these rules may not equip players for the specific and sometimes exceptional situations that they face in their games.

The middlegame is dissected and the critical decisions subjected to keen scrutiny - we are invited inside Stohl's laboratory to join him in the quest for the truth. The endgame phase, if reached, is handled with similar erudition, with insights into the grandmaster's approach to questions of technique.

Test and Improve your Over-the-Board Decision Making
Most chess puzzle books put you in an artificial situation: you are told a combination exists, what the theme is and what you are required to achieve. This one is different. In a real game, a player may sometimes need to find a combination. On the other hand he may have to reject a tactical idea and simply find a good positional move. His task is to find the right move, whatever it may be.
John Nunn's Chess Puzzle Book
Discover the Secrets of How to Win Chess Games
This book teaches basic tactical ideas such as the fork, pin, and discovered attack, and introduces general ideas such as elimination, immobilization and compulsion. A basic knowledge of simple tactics will enable a novice to start winning games, by giving checkmate or capturing material. As the player progresses, his tactical arsenal will broaden, and he will start to play sacrifices and combinations, and develop a deeper understanding of the game. Players who fail to study tactics systematically tend to suffer from tactical blind-spots that plague them throughout their playing career, and thus they fail to realize their full potential.

Techniques that have Revolutionized Chess Analysis
Chess analysis is nearly as old as the game itself, with many of the pioneering works by the giants of chess history being devoted to the analysis of positions, openings and endings. Personal computers and powerful chess software are having a profound effect on chess analysis and theory - most grandmasters use them extensively. However, this book does far more than explain methods for computer-assisted analysis. Readers will develop a deeper understanding of the strengths and limitations of the human mind, and a greater understanding of many areas of chess while working through the examples that Robin Smith presents.

33 Inspiration and Instructive Masterpieces
All chess-players love to play a smooth attacking game, flowing from start to finish, and sprinkled with spectacular ideas and sacrifices. However, few can do so regularly, and for most players, their collection of brilliancies missed far outweighs their creative successes. Innate talent plays an important role, but many of the skills needed for attacking chess can be learned by study and practice. Here, one of the world's most experienced annotators has selected 33 superb examples, and explained them in a way that strips away the mystery.

Improve Your Chess with These 300 Carefully Selected Puzzles
There is something here for everyone. The puzzles in the first two chapters are based on a clear-cut tactic or checkmate, such as those explained in Gambit's best-sellers How to Beat Your Dad at Chess and Chess Tactics for Kids.

The Gambit Book of Instructive Chess Puzzles
1001 Brand New Chess Puzzles to Challenge and Entertain Players from Novices to Grandmasters
Tactical skills are paramount in chess. More than anything else, a player's ability to find tactical solutions determines how successful he is over-the-board. No endgame scheme, opening idea or strategic plan, however brilliant a concept it may be, is of any value unless it is accurately calculated and implemented.
The best way to develop tactical skills is to practice them by tackling new and challenging positions. This book provides a wealth of chess puzzles to test just about every facet of your tactical ability. It is very unlikely that even those who have read many other chess puzzle books will recognize more than a handful of these positions. Franco has searched recent events and used powerful computers to seek out previously unpublished puzzles, and has also drawn extensively upon Latin American sources that he has been scouring for brilliant examples over the last three decades.
Following the pattern of Gambit's hugely successful Ultimate Chess Puzzle Book (by John Emms), the book begins with 100 relatively easy positions suitable for novices, and ends with 100 extremely tough puzzles, which provide a mind-bending challenge even for grandmasters. There are 1001 puzzles in all, including themed sections and graded tests, all with detailed computer-verified solutions and verbal explanations of the main instructive points.

A Practical Course in the Most Important Type of Chess Endgame
For all chess-players - from beginners to grandmasters, and whatever their style of play - one thing is certain: rook endings will arise in a great many of their games. Yet it is precisely in this area of the game that many players give away hard-earned points, either through lack of knowledge or inadequate understanding. Most previous books on the subject have been extremely technical and theoretical, but this one is different. John Emms provides the essential specific knowledge and explains the key concepts that will enable readers to find the right plan in most common types of rook endings.

Ana moved into the third round of the BNP Paribas Open with a straightforward 6-1, 6-2 victory over 16-year-old American wild card Taylor Townsend.
Ana was in control of the match from the beginning, breaking the former junior world No.1 in her opening service games and surging into a 5-0 lead.
Although it was a comfortable victory for Ana, she wasn't at her best, as figures of 16 winners and 24 unforced errors depict. On a more positive note, Ana produced a first serve percentage of 60.
In round three Ana will take on Germany's 28th-ranked Mona Barthel.

BIBLE MEDITATION: "Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. For the which cause I also suffer these things...." 2 Timothy 1:11-12 (KJV)
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: What triggers demonic attacks against you, your dream, your vision, your calling, your business, your family, your church, or your ministry? What makes the devil so upset that he rises up to resist you and your efforts? If God chose you, why are you experiencing so many hassles and difficulties along the way to your goal of fulfilling all He has called you to do? In Second Timothy 1:11 and 12, Paul gives us incredible insight into what triggers a demonic attack. He says, "Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. For the which cause I also suffer these things...." In this verse, Paul writes about his specific calling in the Body of Christ. He affirms to us that he is called and appointed to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. Then notice that he immediately follows by saying, "For the which cause I also suffer these things..." (2 Timothy 1:12).
The word "suffer" is the Greek word pascho, and first and foremost it means to suffer as a result of outside forces or outside circumstances. It could include physical suffering due to persecution; mental suffering due to outside pressures; financial suffering due to monetary hardships; or any inconvenience that stems from something outside of oneself or outside of one's control. Thus, the word pascho would depict any suffering or inconvenience due to forces beyond oneself. When Paul wrote this verse, he used a tense in the Greek that lets us know he was experiencing these inconveniences at the very moment he was writing this epistle. At that time, Paul was in Rome, sitting in a prison cell, awaiting his own execution, and being accused of crimes that he had not committed. Because Satan couldn't find a way to personally destroy Paul, the enemy was manipulating outside forces against Paul and his ministry. The apostle's situation had been created by outside pressures that had nothing to do with himself but that the devil had orchestrated to use against him. Satan was terrified of Paul's calling! The reason Paul was recurrently attacked is that the devil was fearful of the enormous progress Paul would make if he didn't face opposition. Paul let us know that his anointing, his calling, and his potential were the factors that triggered these demonic attacks. It's almost as though Paul was saying, "Do you want to know why I've suffered so many crazy things during the course of my ministry? Because I am appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles."
You see, Satan was scared stiff of what would happen if Paul operated 100 percent in his call. How much would he be able to accomplish if he had no resistance? If Paul was able to do the incredible things he did for God's Kingdom in the face of such opposition, what kind of Gospel advancements would he make if there was no opposition? This thought was so chilling to the devil that he threw every possible obstacle in Paul's path to slow him down, to discredit him, to destroy his friendships, and, if possible, to even kill him. Satan hated the call on Paul's life. The reason Paul was never defeated by these attacks is that he had made a decision. He decided he would not stop or give up until he had apprehended that for which Christ Jesus had apprehended him (Philippians 3:12). Likewise, the only way you'll be able to resist the devil's attacks and successfully achieve all God has called you to do is by determining never to stop until you have accomplished your divine assignment. Jesus taught that those who "endure to the end" are the ones who will receive the prize (Matthew 24:13).
If you want to overcome all the attacks the devil tries to wage against you through outside forces, you will have to be determined to outlast every attack! Determination is a key factor in finishing one's race of faith.
ACTION POINT: The most common reason people don't make it all the way to the end is that they weren't totally committed to completing the task assigned to them. Maybe they tried it or gave it a shot, but their commitment wasn't strong enough, and that's why they didn't make it. There are many things Satan can do to try to elbow us out of the race, but the only one who can decide to quit is you or me. Satan can't make us quit. That choice lies in our hands alone.

Test ID: PIPA
Pipecolic Acid, Serum
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Differential diagnosis between disorders of peroxisomal biogenesis (eg, Zellweger syndrome) and disorders with loss of a single peroxisomal function
Abnormal elevations of pipecolic acid can be detected in either serum or urine
Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct test or proper submission of the test request
Be aware that levels of pipecolic acid can be normal in newborns. Abnormal levels of pipecolic acid should be interpreted together with the results of other biochemical markers of peroxisomal disorders, such as plasma C22-C26 very long-chain fatty acids, phytanic acid, pristanic acid, RBC plasmalogens, and bile acid intermediates.
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Pipecolic acid (PA) is an intermediate of lysine metabolism and is oxidized in the peroxisomes by the enzyme L-pipecolate oxidase. In peroxisome biogenesis disorders (eg, Zellweger syndrome), the activity of this enzyme is lost, resulting in an increase in pipecolic acid levels. In contrast, in peroxisomal disorders involving single enzyme deficiencies such as D-bifunctional protein deficiency, PA is not elevated; therefore PA analysis is useful for differentiating between these 2 groups of disorders.
Increased pipecolic acid levels may also be seen in alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency (pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy), hyperlysinemia types 1 and 2, and defects in proline metabolism.
Theoretically, a defect in L-pipecolate oxidase can exist and several cases of hyperpipecolic acidemia have been reported, but a specific enzyme deficiency has not been described in any of the patients.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
<6 months: < or =6.0 nmol/mL
6 months-<1 year: < or =5.9 nmol/mL
1-17 years: < or =4.3 nmol/mL
> or =18 years: < or =7.4 nmol/mL
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Elevated pipecolic acid levels are seen in disorders of peroxisomal biogenesis; normal levels are seen in disorders with loss of a single peroxisomal function.
Abnormal levels of pipecolic acid should be interpreted together with the results of other biochemical markers of peroxisomal disorders, such as plasma C22-C26 very long-chain fatty acids, phytanic acid, and pristanic acid (POX / Fatty Acid Profile, Peroxisomal [C22-C26], Serum), RBC plasmalogens, and bile acid intermediates.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Newborns with disorders of peroxisomal biogenesis often have normal levels of pipecolic acid which increase with age.
Abnormal results may reflect either prematurity or nongenetic liver and/or renal disease.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

As Republicans reassess their future in the presidential wilderness, seeking a message and messenger to resonate with a new generation of voters, one unlikely name has popped up as a role model: former President George W. Bush.
Prominent Republicans eager to rebuild the party in the wake of the 2012 election are pointing to Bush's successful campaigns for Hispanic votes, his efforts to pass immigration reform, and his mantra of "compassionate conservatism." Bush won 35 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2000 and at least 40 percent in 2004, a high-water mark for a Republican presidential candidate.
In contrast, Romney received only 27 percent of the Latino vote, after taking a hard-line approach to illegal immigration during the Republican presidential primaries, touting "self-deportation" for undocumented workers. In exit polls, a majority of voters said that Romney was out of touch with the American people and that his policies would favor the rich. While Romney beat Obama on questions of leadership, values, and vision, the president trounced him by 63 points when voters were asked which candidate "cares about people like me."
These signs of wear and tear to the Republican brand are prompting some of Bush's critics to acknowledge his political foresight and ability to connect with a diverse swath of Americans, although the economic crash and unpopular wars on his watch make it unlikely he will ever be held up as a great president.
"I think I owe an apology to George W. Bush," wrote Jonah Goldberg, editor-at-large of the conservative National Review Online, after the election. "I still don't like compassionate conservatism or its conception of the role of government. But given the election results, I have to acknowledge that Bush was more prescient than I appreciated at the time."
The ebb in Bush-bashing could help pave the way for a 2016 presidential bid by his brother, former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida, another proponent of immigration reform with proven appeal in the Hispanic community. "The Bush family knows how to expand the party and how to win," said GOP consultant Mark McKinnon, a former George W. Bush political aide, when asked about a possible Jeb Bush campaign. Voter wariness toward a third Bush administration could ease if the former president and his father, who served one term, are remembered less for their failures and more for their advocacy of "compassionate conservatism" and "a kinder, gentler nation."
"I think all that certainly helps if Jeb decides to do so something down the road, though I think he will eventually be judged on his own," said Al Cardenas, chairman of the American Conservative Union, who led the Florida Republican Party when Bush was governor.
President Bush's press secretary, Ari Fleischer, was tapped last week by the Republican National Committee to serve on a five-member committee examining what went wrong in the 2012 election. Two days earlier, a survey released by Resurgent Republic and the Hispanic Leadership Network found that a majority of Hispanic voters in Colorado, Florida, Nevada, and New Mexico don't think the GOP "respects" their values and concerns.
"One of the party's biggest challenges going forward is the perception that Republicans don't care about people, about minorities, about gays, about poor people," Fleischer said. "President Bush regularly made a push to send welcoming messages, and one of the lessons of 2012 is that we have to demonstrate that we are an inclusive party."
President Bush's success with minority voters stemmed in large part from his two campaigns for governor in Texas. He liked to say, "Family values don't stop at the Rio Grande." Unlike Romney, who invested little in Spanish-language advertising until the final two months of his campaign, Bush began reaching out to Hispanics early; he outspent his Democratic opponents in Spanish media in both the 2000 and 2004 campaigns.
"I remember people grumbling about making calls in December 2003, but we kept pushing," said Jennifer Korn, who led Bush's Hispanic outreach in his 2004 campaign. The president's upbeat Spanish-language ads depicted Latino families getting ahead in school and at work. "I'm with Bush because he understands my family," was the theme of one spot.
Korn, who now serves as executive director of the Hispanic Leadership Network, said Republicans are constantly asking her how the party can win a bigger share of the Latino vote.
"I tell them we already did it," she said. "President Obama just took Bush's plan and updated it."
Republicans are also looking at the groundwork that Bush laid on immigration reform. He has kept a low profile since leaving office, but he waded into the debate in a speech in Dallas last month. The legislation he backed in his second term would have increased border security, created a guest-worker program, and allowed illegal immigrants to earn citizenship after paying penalties and back taxes.

When your HP ProLiant drives start blinking, do not panic! It's only an indicator and it's a quick fix. When your disk has an orange light on, it could mean either of two things. If the HP ProLiant disk has a solid orange light, it means there is a HP ProLiant disk failure. If the HP ProLiant disk has a blinking orange light, it means the disk has started to degrade is about to cause a HP ProLiant disk failure.
Do not HOTSWAP the HP ProLiant disk if it has a blinking orange light because a HOTSWAP is only allowed when it is a disk failure. If you want to replace the failing drive, you want to shut down the server first. Then boot the server. When POST is available, you can press f9 so ROM setup comes up. When Array Scan has completed, the failed drive should be now be identified as a failed drive signified with a solid orange light. At this point, you have two choices. F1 makes the drives disabled and F2 allows you to replace the drive with the failure and do array repairs. Press F2 and ROM setup will pop up again but your drives will be blinking green. Remove the failed drive and replace it with a working drive. Wait five to ten minutes for it to rebuild controls.
Finally, restart the server. The Automatic RAID repair should start at this point, and you'll need to fix your HP ProLiant disk failure problem.

Recipe by Mindy
"A really easy apple cinnamon muffin recipe."

1 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
3/4 cup
white sugar
1/2 teaspoon
2 teaspoons
baking powder
1 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
1/3 cup
vegetable oil
1/3 cup
apples - peeled, cored and chopped
1/2 cup
white sugar
1/3 cup
all-purpose flour
1/2 cup
butter, cubed
1 1/2 teaspoons
ground cinnamon
Great muffins! I substitute whole wheat flour for 1/2 cup of white, and I use about half brown sugar and half white. I also use applesauce for half of the oil, and that works well. I like Granny Smith apples in these muffins because they hold their shape and flavor nicely (I cut them into big chunks because I like the apples to be noticeable!). I find that extra cinnamon doesn't dry these out because the apples are so moist. And for the topping, I use 1/4 cup of softened butter instead of 1/2, and this seems to be plenty. I wouldn't fill the muffin cups more than 3/4 because the muffins do rise, and the topping can be messy in the oven. Overall, this is a great recipe--wonderful flavor, texture, sweetness, moistness, etc. :)
There is so much wrong with the directions and measurements. 1. it yields 12 regular muffins, not 6. I suspect it might actually be a recipe for jumbo muffins and she forgot to mention that. 2. two apples made up more than 50% of the batter and was definitely too much so 1 apple is plenty. 3. She states to fill the cups to the top, however if you do, this is what you will end up with: 4 hours of scouring your oven and kitchen floor from all the overflow butter and sugar that leaked out of the oven. Just follow the cardinal rule of muffins/cupcakes: never fill more than 2/3 full and you'll be fine. 4. Do NOT use 1/2 Cup butter for the "sprinkle" topping or you will end up with grainy pasty goo that will never (on planet Earth) sprinkle. I suggest cutting back to 1/4 cup to keep the mixture on the dry side, allowing you to sprinkle it as she suggests. I appreciated the taste she was going for. Trust me, follow these 4 EASY corrections to this recipe and they will come out right!
481 Ratings
The finished product tasted wonderful, but you really need to fill muffin tins with batter only two thirds full at most, and make only one third the amount of butter crumb mixture. We spent the balance of our post muffin morning cleaning the horrible burned on mess in the bottom of our oven from too full muffin cups. Filling the tin less would probably yield a full dozen normal sized muffins. With this correction they should be excellent!
I liked this recipe, its simple and easy. I found that if you change some of the ingredients, like instead of 1.5 cups of sugar, I just used one; Instead of 2/3 cups of oil and milk i used 1/3 of both, added an extra egg and some hot water to replace the milk and oil, the mixture turns out more fluffy and light. Nice simple recipe tho :)
WARNING! Do not fill the cups to the top as the recipe says! You will have a big mess in your oven if you do. Also, there was a lot of butter in the topping. Next time I will make sure that I half the butter like others have suggested.
After having read previous reviews for this recipe, I modified it the first time out by adding more milk and doubling the cinnamon. I also found that it yields an average of ten, rather than six and the topping was enough for two batches. Overall, these were a hit with my family, with the changes I made, and they clamored for more once the first batch was gone. As muffin recipes go, I thought these were pretty good.
I did not read the reviews first. I wish I did because I ended up with a mess in the oven. Do not fill to rim like it says to. They were great though. I will be making them again.
This recipe was great! It was very easy and quick, except for peeling and chopping the apples, but i guess there's no way around that! I used 2 tsp. of cinnamon instead of one and also instead of 1/3 c. oil, i used 1/8 c. vegetable oil and 1/4 c. applesauce. I got 12 muffins out of this. They are delicious- a great way to get rid of some apples!

Hi we're TrueThemes
We're a creative web design team that specializes in Premium Wordpress Themes and Plugins. We're smart, talented and super passionate about our work.
We used to work at the offices of much larger ad agencies. We were billing clients silly amounts of money to create amazing work for them, but it was no longer the big accounts that got us excited.
We left behind the corporate grind to bring top-notch talent to the common man.
Please feel free to contact us anytime.
Stay True
A Word from our Amazing Customers:
I can not tell how helpful, respectful and proactive this team is. I am a complete novice and was met with a level of service and support I have never encountered to date. This company's drive for quality service is beyond a classic business model, it is the result of some far greater purpose or mission they uphold. Its a model of how people should be treated.
I have purchased the Karma Theme and can completely recommend it. The training videos are wonderful, very clear and concise with detailed instructions and demonstration. The Technical Support has also been wonderful, the response time on a issue I had was phenomenal, plus the solution to my issue was provided in a very clear manner.
I will be using Karma on my next project as well.Janet
Thanks again for helping me, i just want to say your level of attention to your theme buyers on providing tech support has been amazing. From helping me with 3rd party plugins to fixing CSS code in my site, I have never got this amount of support from buying a theme anywhere else, and I've purchased lot of themes in my day. You provide the best level of support, and I really appreciate you helping me with my website.
We are so AMAZED by the exceptional skills and professionalism that TrueThemes has showed our law firm. Their excellent support, fast ticket response and vision into design is top notch!
We love this Karma theme and we're so happy with the incredible assistance we've received from TrueThemes! Keep up the great work guys!! And Thank you!
I have downloaded 8 themes from themeforest. This has been the easiest to customize out of them all. I've never turned a website around so fast! I'll be looking for more themes from TrueThemes in the future. Thanks!
Pretty impressed with the customer service from TrueThemes. I have rarely seen such after purchase customer service. He actually logged into my server , fixed the file and sent me an explanation on how he fixed it. I am glad I made this purchase.If you are looking for a great theme and great after purchase service , you have found the guy right here…
Thanks so much for fixing my issue so quickly, I would just like to say that your company has provided such amazing customer service/ support to date it has really blown me away (it is very rare in business today)
Guys, excellent support from Sean over implementing the theme. The after sales support itself makes downloading the theme worthwhile. Awesome theme, awesome support. Cheers
Love this theme and so impressed with the customer support!!! Has been great for someone like myself with very little experience! Absolutely Fantastic!!
I don't think enough can be said about this theme and the support that comes with it. Truethemes has done an amazing job with the way Karma works and the video support provided for all sections. This has been the best $35 I have spent in a long time. If you pass this theme up you have missed out on one of the best opportunities to create an amazing site for yourself or a client.
I have to say this guys have one of the greatest supports on the whole themeforest-market! Keep the great work Guys!!! Thanks for your fast response & help!! Hope to get some more of your stuff here!

A hamstring strain is an injury to the muscles in the back of the thigh. These muscles run from above the hip to the knee joint. A strain is a series of small tears in the muscle. The tendon attached to the muscle may also have some damage.
Hamstring strain is a common sports-related injury.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A hamstring strain can be caused by:
Factors that may increase your chance of getting hamstring strain include:
Symptoms may include:
The doctor will ask you about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Most hamstring strains can be diagnosed with a physical exam. Your doctor may want images of the area if severe damage is suspected. Images may be taken with
Muscle strains are graded according to their severity:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment depends on the severity of the strain. Recovery time ranges depending on the grade of your injury. Treatment steps may include:
Your muscle will need time to heal. Avoid activities that place extra stress on these muscles:
Apply an ice or a cold pack to the area for 15-20 minutes, four times a day, for several days after the injury. Do not apply the ice directly to your skin. Wrap the ice or cold pack in a towel.
To manage pain, your doctor may recommend:
Compression can help prevent more swelling. Your doctor may recommend an elastic compression bandage around your thigh. Be careful not to wrap the bandage too tight.
Elevation can also help keep swelling down. Keep your leg higher than your heart as much as possible for the first 24 hours or so. A couple of days of elevation might be recommended for severe strains.
Rehabilitation with a physical therapist may be required.
Use heat only when you are returning to physical activity. Heat may then be used before stretching or getting ready to play sports to help loosen the muscle.
When the acute pain is gone, start gentle stretching as recommended. Stay within pain limits. Hold each stretch for about 10 seconds and repeat six times. Stretch several times a day.
Begin strengthening exercises for your muscles as recommended.
If you are diagnosed with a hamstring strain, follow your doctor's

My guess is he is talking about a "box blade", three point attachment behind a tractor. If that's the case, I could draw up some using mine or the BIL home grown version. Better ya could go to your local implement store, they might not care if ya take some measurments.
Good luck

Cytec earnings fall short of estimates; guidance cut due to economic risk
3:30 PM MDT | April 18, 2013 | Vincent Valk
Cytec has announced first-quarter earnings down 36.9% YOY, to $33.5 million, or 73 cts/share, on sales up 26.3%, to $477.4 million. Excluding special items, however, earnings rose 12.1%, to $34.2 million, or 75 cts/share. Earnings fell short of analysts' consensus of 86 cts/share, as reported by Thomson Reuters (New York). Cytec is also cutting its full-year 2013 earnings guidance by about 4.1%, to $4.50-$4.75/share, due to "a number of risks in the global economy," says CEO Shane Fleming. These risks will mostly impact the...

What is ZNP?
I'm thinking I have some kind of folliculitis, as I posted a thread on it and didn't realize there already were so many.... I'm thinking mine may be fungal, atleast on my ass/ thighs, because it popped up after a month course of antibiotics, along with other known fungal infections (which I haven't been able to rid myself completely of, either. Augh!)
Is this stuff contagious?
znp is some medicineused for fungal and dermatitis conditions. also for dandruff. If you are fairly sure its fungal and want to try and kick it, avoid alcohol for a while,limit carbs (cuz they are sugary and feed fungus), avoid sugar, take the probiotic acidophilis, and try oil of oregano casules which are a natural antifungal. Continue for a couple of weeks after you feel like you might be better just to make sure. There ae alot of other natural antifungals but someone on this board told me that oil of oregeno penetrates tissues best. the other infections should be fairly treatable with vinegar and or sea salt and or tea tree oil soap if your a guy. If your talking female yeast infections google natural cure for yeast infection or home remedies. youd be amazed at how houusehold items can help keep cost down when treating large areas. good luck!
ive read that pityrosporum is contagious especially to those prone to it and so if you dont already, keep seperate towels, steam clean your car occassionally and so forth if not to protect those aroun you from getting it, this will allso help prevent you from reacting to somebody elses PR.(remember everyone has it one their skin surface and the difference is only in the reaction of the skin and number of organisms present.
