Aimee Mann Marks An Awkward Milestone
31 Today
Friday's Pick
- Song: "Thirty One Today"
- Artist: Aimee Mann
- CD: @#%&*! Smilers
- Genre: Pop
Date aside, the day that Aimee Mann endures on "Thirty One Today" should have no particular weight to it. Compared to crossing over into a new decade, or even hitting a halfway point like 35, turning 31 isn't much of a milestone. And that's how it plays out, as Mann drinks a lonely Guinness while it's still light out and awkwardly hooks up with a male acquaintance when it's not.
Then she hits the chorus and crumbles into a full breakdown. "I thought my life would be different somehow / I thought my life would be better by now," Mann sings, wrenching the subtext to the fore. But even that admission pales next to the bleak clarity of the line that follows: "But it's not, and I don't know where to turn." She's helpless — and, worse still, she knows it, looking for answers and finding none available.
The music carries on under its own rhythmic momentum regardless, time passing apathetic to the fact that each bass thump, synth warble, and subdued beat moves the singer further and further from the person she once thought she could have become. Instead, she's just killing time until she can make it to 32.

Responsible tourism: Unlocking the potential
As tourism grows to join the ranks of the world's major commercial industries, so do the questions around the impact this industry has on our fragile world and its people. Tourism can do as much or not more harm than good if not developed and managed responsibly.
Our world is changing rapidly
- The world economy has faltered – with long-haul travel hard hit – and there is more competition than ever between destinations.
- Tourism is fragile. The extra-ordinary events of the first few months in 2011 have again demonstrated this.
- The unrest in the Middle East, subsequent increase in oil and fuel prices and the electricity hikes will have an impact on tourism and could potentially play havoc with bookings and profit margins in the tourism sector.
- International arrivals may decrease (particularly from destinations still recovering from a recession) as the cost of airline tickets rise due to the increase in world oil prices.
- To add further strain on the South African tourism industry, the strengthening rand is driving international tourists to (often shorter-haul) destinations that offer more value for their money.
- In Cape Town, we have seen the trajectory of tourism from the assurance of a golden period of plentiful demand and lesser supply to abundant, world-class supply and shrinking, competitively driven, financially constrained demand.
- According to experts, international tourism in 2011 is expected to grow by 3 to 5% on the "all-time" highs of previous years.
- Growth is being driven by emerging markets such as Asia and South America while mature markets are seeing low growth.
- The demographics of our customers have changed
- The way people travel has been transformed irreversibly by increased urbanisation, technology and the web.
- Time is now our most precious commodity…
- Proliferation of nature tourism emphasizes people's yearning for authenticity, to get back to basics, organic living and be more in touch with nature and their spirituality.
- 50% of the world's population can no longer see the stars…
- The internet has become the predominant channel for consumers to search for and buy travel, with up to 95% of the world's constantly connected generation of travellers and tourists searching for information online.
- The moral dilemma of long-haul travel in the light of climate change is also likely to affect destinations like South Africa in years to come.
- More and more people will question the acceptability of flying long-haul for recreational or leisure purposes. It is predicted that individual carbon budgets could be in the pipeline. Cape Town as a long haul destination must be able to answer these tough questions and promote sustainable local experiences to offset long-haul travel.
Sustainability is no longer a nice to have, but a need to have. With the world heading towards a massive over-capacity and demand shrinking in traditional markets, destinations and businesses have no choice but to cascade sustainable tourism practices throughout entire operations and experiences offered.
Destinations must understand how new travel behaviours will impact on us and we must adjust our marketing, communication and offering to meet the needs of our customers.
It is about the customer, not the destination. Once we get this, we can influence their travel choices and match our product offering with the kind of experiences travellers are demanding and that support the sustainable development of tourism in Cape Town.
Ethical consumerism has put pressure from the travelling public on tourism businesses to be more responsible in their practices and policies.
In Harold Goodwin and Justin Francis' paper on the relationship between Ethical and Responsible Tourism and Consumer Trends written in 2003 already, they argue that holidaymakers are seeking holidays which provide them with more than two weeks on the beach and a tan.
John King argued in his 2002 journal on Responsible Travel that travel is increasingly 'about experiences, fulfilment and rejuvenation' rather than about 'places and things'; and that the lifestyle market is of increasing importance.
Rolf Wesche and Andy Drum from Defending our Rainforest says in the "Good Alternative Travel Guide" (by Tourism Concern) that: "The quest of the responsible traveller is to learn, to be understanding, to share, to contribute - rather than to act as a consumer who seeks maximum gratification at a minimum expense."
USA: book well in advance and prefer pre-packaged tours; luxury ecotourism is the fastest growing sector for conscientious U.S. travelers and is remaining relatively strong despite the economic downturn.
Germany: world's largest outbound market, highly experienced travelers who are most likely to purchase carbon offsets, seek more stimulating travel, expect tourism companies to offer environmentally and socially responsible products.
Dutch: experienced travelers, very high propensity (81%) to travel abroad and a preference for sun and beach holidays. They seek good quality and high value for cost and are interested in responsible tourism products and destinations
British: savvy, experienced and avid travelers, who regard holidays as a necessity rather than a luxury. View responsible and ethical travel as important. Within the EU, the U.K. ranks just behind Germany in visits to developing countries. South Africa's major source market despite decline in outbound travel due to recession
As cities (especially within the context of a developing country), we have an opportunity to lay the right foundation and to use these new trends to our advantage within the growing competitive tourism market and ever increasing pressure on tourism to deliver real economic growth and benefits to communities.
Cities are defined as the "prism through which countries is viewed" and are the new super brands of the 21st century.
Cities have history, heritage and a future. Cities are "Capitals of the Mind" and they have the ability to become lead brands for countries, therefore leading responsible tourism.
For a city like Cape Town it is imperative that responsible tourism be the backbone of our industry and its marketing, not just a campaign or separate product offering that can easily be sidelined.
Cape Town is best known around the globe as a place of beauty – the numerous accolades bare testimony to this.
Cape Town has exceptional diversity in a small geographic area, making it a destination with remarkable potential to be a leader in responsible tourism.
The sheer economic value of Cape Town's natural heritage is driven largely by its importance to tourism. With a significant park such as Table Mountain National Park running through the centre of the City (and indeed the greater Peninsula), natural biodiversity is a birthright of all Capetonians and a marvel that is appreciated and admired by visitors.
Voted the best destination in the world by Tripadvisor, Cape Town offers exceptional beaches (many of them Blue Flag status), architectural and archaeological heritage, cultural attractions such as the Bo-Kaap and Cape Flats, museums, shops and art galleries and a geographical layout that means one can easily and quickly travel from sea to mountain to City to rural regions.
The Cape Floral Kingdom, one of Conservation International's Global Hotspots of Biodiversity, is the smallest, but richest in the world with approximately 9600 species of indigenous plants, of which 70 percent are endemic.
It is no wonder that National Geographic called Cape Town one of the places of a lifetime…
But, Cape Town tells the tale of two cities.
In a world where the story has become the unique selling point, rather than the product, and where people are yearning to get off the bus and immerse themselves into the hearts and homes of people in places with rough edges, we have an opportunity to shape a new tourism destiny for our destinations.
Cape Town's complex history has certainly left its mark on the socio-economic dynamic of the City. Poverty stalks many communities and equality of opportunity has been slow to spread in a post-apartheid reality.
To be a great place to visit, we must first and foremost be a great place to live…the reality is that for most, Cape Town is not yet a great place to live. This has to be our biggest goal. Tourism, and in particular Responsible Tourism, can be a vehicle of real economic growth and social transformation.
We will not be able to build a sustainable and responsible destination without our citizens. As Baba Dioum says, "At the end we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, we will only understand what we are taught."
It is time to redefine Cape Town beyond the well-known beautiful stereotypes. It is time to involve all the people of Cape Town to tell our full story, warts and all. As the Tourism Sector we must commit ourselves to a sector that is more accessible, more relevant and more beneficial to all our people – this is Responsible Tourism.
A destination is a place where people want to be. It is a special place, it is more than just bricks and mortar; it is a place whose greatest assets and experiences occupy people's minds and hearts.
Cape Town is in the process of rebranding. We are developing a a multi-dimensional city brand that will provide a more balanced and holistic view of Cape Town incorporating business, education, the arts, creative industries, human capital and tourism.
Cape Town's brand must reflect the real Cape Town story and capture the hearts and imaginations of a world bombarded with choice and homogeneity.
It is cities with the confidence to define themselves in the minds of their markets and own citizens that stand out from the rest.
Cities of the future will deliver something different; they are not defined by their size alone but by their ability to capture the imagination and define themselves as being the best at something.
We are committed to be defined by our Responsible Tourism offering.
The recent FIFA World Cup also assisted Cape Town in furthering our plans towards becoming a benchmark sustainable, responsible City. The Green Goal Programme was a series of actions taken by the City of Cape Town to ensure that the impact of the influx of 2010 visitors was correctly managed. To this end, a large street waste recycling project was implemented and continues today, with separated waste street bins. This programme has just won the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Sport and Environment Award after being nominated by FIFA in its capacity as a sporting federation affiliated with the IOC.
Low carbon emission public transport, green spaces and low energy solutions are all being given top priority by the City and its tourism and business stakeholders.
If Cape Town is to successfully continue to grow its tourism sector towards job creation and skills development, it must also protect the very thing that has created tourism demand; the environment and our local communities.
Sustainable practice and responsible tourism govern all our marketing strategies.
Responsible tourism should be the very essence of our product offering and not a stand-alone category of experiences or a campaign.
Although the tourism landscape is changing with many travellers becoming more and more mindful of the impact their travels have on the lands they visit in the short – and the long term, Responsible Tourism is still considered niche and not the norm.
The reality remains that price, distance; weather and quality of experience are still the most important factors when considering a holiday. Ethical, responsible and environmental issues are becoming increasingly important when ultimately choosing the next destination or experience, but the point made by many customers is that they want a holiday and a great experience; they do not want to be taken on a guilt-trip.
Research confirms that a lot of customers' feedback and behaviour in terms of responsible tourism are still aspirational and very few are prepared to pay more for a more responsible holiday experience.
Green washing is also a growing concern with many businesses and destinations passing themselves off as responsible at face value in order to charge more and capitalise on new travel trends.
Cities and their respective marketing agencies have our work cut out for us to ensure that we market our responsible tourism offering in a more compelling and attractive manner.
Value remains critically important. There is an opportunity to develop a wider range of tourism experiences and extend reach of economic benefits from tourism.
We have come a long way, but our journey towards a responsible destination has only begun.

Released: May 01st, 1999
Running Time: 106
Director: Bud Lee
Company: Adam & Eve Pictures
Distribution Companies: PHE
Cast: Alec Metro, Stephanie Swift, Dakota (I), Gina Ryder, Rich Handsome, Ian Daniels, Chandler (I), Steve Hatcher, Randee Lee, T.J. Hart, Colt Steele, Angelica Sin
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Recommend primarily to your female customers to watch with their husbands, though there might be a few male romantics out there who won\'t mind the melodrama.
Desiree (Stephanie Swift) has solved the Y2K problem, created a software company, and "amassed a small, yet respectable, fortune in just three short years," according to her loyal employee Tyce Buné. Buné, you see, harbors an unrequited crush on Swift of Gene Simmons' boots proportions, but she's too blinded by personal trainer Colt Steele's hulking bod to cast a glance toward a Sensitive Man like him. So he distracts his aching heart by plowing Dakota's pliant asshole in the vid's standout scene, and taking her post-coital advice to woo his little genius with a candlelit dinner.
But are Dakota's true intentions altruistic? You might not think so after she heartily bangs Steele, talks Swift into observing an orgy, and tries to steal her revolutionary software program. Luckily, Buné catches the crafty blond schemer in the act ("You used me, didn't you?"), kicks her lying whore ass out, and confesses his love to Swift in a tear-jerker (literally - they both get misty-eyed) that precedes their obligatory fuck scene.
And they lived smarmily ever after....

The McPherson County Commission approved $555 million in industrial revenue bonds for NCRA's new coker project at its meeting Tuesday.
The IRBs will not exempt NCRA from any county taxes.
The Delayed Coking Unit will not add to the processing capacity at the 85,000-barrel-per-day McPherson refinery, but will allow the refinery to squeeze more gasoline and diesel out of the heaviest portion of the crude oil. It will replace the plant's current coker, which has served the refinery since 1952.
This is the largest project in NCRA history and the largest request ever for industrial revenue bonds from McPherson County as well.
It is expected a workforce of 200 will be needed at the beginning of the project. The construction workforce could grow to 400 before tapering off near the project's completion. The project will take about two and years to complete once it begins.

Two Books on PHP
Author: Julie C. Meloni
Publisher: Prima Tech
URL: www.prima-tech.com
Price: $39.99 US
Author: Tobias Ratschiller and Till Gerken
Publisher: New Riders
Price: $39.99 US
Reviewer: Phil Hughes
I chose to review these two books together because they complement each other. That doesn't mean they are the same quality—just that they cover different things in the same area.
Before you ask, "Why PHP?", let me answer. While there has been a lot of web development in Perl, and Python is growing in this area, PHP is a tool designed specifically for dynamic web development. That, along with its C-like syntax, makes it an easy choice for a programmer wanting to add dynamic web content generation to their tool kit.
As a general comment about both books, they claim to cover PHP4. This is pretty much true because PHP4 is not very different from PHP3. This is actually good news because most existing PHP applications are still in PHP3, and a book that didn't cover PHP3 would be relatively useless.
This is the introductory book of the pair. It introduces PHP and works through many examples all the way to setting up an e-commerce site. Three of the eight chapters deal with databases in general and MySQL specifically. As the power of PHP comes from how it interacts with a database, this makes complete sense.
Once you get comfortable with what PHP is, the most important part of the book is the Essential PHP Language Reference in Appendix A. This appendix starts off with an introduction PHP syntax, and then covers all the built-in functions available to the PHP programmer. This section is well written and can act as a decent reference even for a newcomer to PHP.
When I finished reading this book, I felt I had the knowledge to go off and write some serious PHP code. Fortunately, instead of writing code, I read the other book.
This book is the real winner of the pair. By that, I mean it goes well beyond my expectations for any book on any programming language. New Riders seems to be on a roll with their recent language books, as the last one I reviewed, Python Essential Reference, was also a winner.
This is not a beginning PHP book and certainly not a beginning programming book. In the introduction, they state that the target audience is PHP programmers who want to take their skills to the next level, know other programming languages or want to extend PHP's feature set. I think they are correct with this statement.
This book is organized into nine chapters, each designed to extend your knowledge in a particular direction. The first chapter deals with development concepts. With over 30 years of programming experience in a dozen or more languages under my belt, I immediately wanted to skip this chapter. Fortunately, they anticipated this and included a sidebar titled "Why You Should Read This Section". Okay, they were right. Too often, we want to get to the fun part—writing code. This first chapter sets the whole tone for the book, showing us the significant benefits of doing the design work first.
The next chapter, titled "Advanced Syntax", introduces concepts such as classes, which can be ignored in basic programming but make your life a lot easier when you get into serious development. Chapters three through five deal with application design presenting concepts you need to think about, with code to fill in the blanks. Not quick reading but clearly a good investment.
Chapter six gets into database access. Like PHP Essentials, this book also concentrates on MySQL, but the presentation is very different. PHPLib is introduced, and readers are shown how to develop an application that is database-independent. PHPLib adds a level of abstraction for other interfaces as well as the database, and this chapter convinced me that using this library can amount to huge savings in development time.
Chapter seven goes on to use PHPLib to develop a knowledge repository. Note that all this code is on the included CD along with PHP, MySQL, Apache, TurboLinux, PostgreSQL and even the entire book as a PDF document. This chapter also includes an overview of XML and how it can be used to benefit the developer.
Chapter eight presents some PHP success stories, useful information that could also be used to convince your boss that PHP is real and does solve real problems. The final chapter shows how PHP can be extended.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

I have a birthday this week. A big one. Reaching this day has caused me to muse about some of the changes that accompany reaching such a milestone.
My parents just had new windows installed in our old house. The original wooden windows had been weathering and wearing since 1968, and the folks decided against scraping and painting them one last time. I saw the new windows this weekend, as I was visiting my old hometown, and as we admired the craftsmanship, we wound up in my old bedroom where a fancy new sliding unit had been installed. It was about a few seconds after I opened the new window that I realized I was falling through it.
Turkey day is approaching and it is a wonder time.
They may just give Dasher, Dancer, Vixen and Rudolph a run for their money.
"What is the meaning of life?" my middle school daughter asked me recently as we were lying on her bed one evening. After a few minutes of contemplation, knowing that the answer was not about acquisition of money, fame or power, and that material items might provide ease in life, but not meaning, I responded that it is "to experience and then to allow God's grace to shine through you to others."
It seems the Christmas holidays arrive a little earlier every year, thanks in part to retailers pushing to get every sale they can. This year we saw Christmas decorations out well before Halloween and a few communities have already put up Christmas decorations and turned on their Christmas lights.
Hallelujah! It's a word we've all heard, probably all used. Hallelujah! It's a word that means "Praise the Lord." You see it all over the place in the Old Testament as the people praised God when they saw one work of his or another. "Hallelujah" is what we're told we'll be shouting for all time in heaven, in the presence of our God we won't be able to keep from praising.
Are you asking yourself every day where has this year gone? It is now the middle of November. Thanksgiving is next week; Christmas, a little more than four weeks later, and New Year's less than a week after that.
We Americans have always been noted for our ability to have opposing political groups playing hardball politics while remaining civil and non-violent. When the campaigning, debating and voting was over, we returned to running the government and moving forward. The night time threats of physical violence to an opponent and his family was reserved for the banana republics and dictatorships. Sadly, some citizens of Newton County have recently displayed banana republic political behavior.
"To you, I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens!"
My granddaughter in the fourth grade recently had a test over pronouns, and in particular the many different spellings and meanings of "there, their, they're, theirs, there's.
The lighting was dim and the air filled with the fragrance of carnations and roses last Friday night. The tiny baby lay there quietly, with perfectly round cheeks and a little button nose, like on all newborn faces. A knit cap covered his hair, a monogrammed blanket was tucked beneath his chin, and as I heard others remarking, that precious baby looked just like a porcelain doll displayed in a box.
Budget follies are in full swing in the nation's capital once again. Republicans, who agreed to automatic cuts a few months ago, are now trying to find a way to avoid defense cuts.

The final version of the Lexus LF-A supercar has been built in Japan. The last LF-A model, a white car featuring the higher performance LF-A Nurburgring Package, rolled off the production line at the Motomachi Plant in Toyota City, Japan, on 14 December.
Talking about the occasion, LF-A chief engineer, Haruhiko Tanahashi, said, "I've lived and breathed supercars for the past decade. Specifically one supercar, LF-A. Very few people have the opportunity we had to create a world-class supercar from a blank sheet of paper."
Production of the LF-A began two years ago, on 15 December 2010. To ensure quality, Lexus hand-picked a team of 170 workers to assemble the car, building just 500 examples of the LF-A at the rate of one per day. The £345,000 LF-A was sold in the UK, where just five examples have found homes.
Although it was very expensive, the Lexus LF-A project didn't turn a profit. However, the company has said that it will use engineering expertise from the project and production knowledge of carbon-fibre developed for the LF-A for future Lexus models.
The LF-A is powered by a 4.8-litre V10 which develops 552bhp in standard tune, or 562bhp with the £55,000 Nurburgring Package fitted. However, both cars have the same 0-62mph time of 3.7 seconds and top speed of 202mph.

'This is a generous book, and however "virginal" or "veteran" we might reckon ourselves, we can be thankful for it." - James Joyce Literary Supplement
'Former president of the International James Joyce Foundation, Norris (emer., Univ. of California, Irvine) is a
distinguished Joyce scholar whose critical work on Joyce is required reading. Her other works include Joyce's Web:
The Social Unraveling of Modernism (1992), Beasts of the Modern Imagination: Darwin, Nietzsche, Kafka, Ernst,
and Lawrence (1985), and The Decentered Universe of Finnegans Wake (CH, May'77). Here Norris presents an
innovative reading of James Joyce's Ulysses based on issues of "fictional construction." She uses Possible-Worlds
Theory in order to examine narrative functions in the novel. This unique reading of Joyce's preeminent text will
provide a valuable framework for readers new to Ulysses and innovative ideas that veteran readers will appreciate.
Summing Up: Highly recommended.' - CHOICE
'The concept behind Norris's Virgin and Veteran Readings of Ulysses is brilliant and disturbingly original, even fearless. Her approach and execution are thoroughly and profoundly grounded in narrative theory, while also yielding specific and practical insights into the world (and 'possible worlds') of Bloom, Molly, and Stephen and into the formal world of the novel, using the experience of a 'virgin' reader to illuminate that of the 'veteran' reader. Her dedication speaks of her debt 'to the wonderful community of Joyce scholars,' but in fact with this volume she adds to the debt they all owe to Norris.' Morris Beja, author of James Joyce: A Literary Life and former president of the International James Joyce Foundation
'Virgin and Veteran Readings of Ulysses is a brilliant example of how to read Joyce as well as the most consistently engaging book on Ulysses that I have read in many years. I believe its radically original focus on the extent and limits of the 'virgin' reader's knowledge at any point in the text will influence a generation of scholars and teachers. Anyone writing on Ulysses, or working with students who are learning how to read Ulysses, would do well to keep it close at hand.' - Patrick A. McCarthy, professor of English, University of Miami and editor of the James Joyce Literary Supplement
''Backward, turn backward, o time in thy flight/Make me a child again just for tonight!' Impossible, of course, and reading Ulysses requires much more than a single night, but Norris does make it possible to imagine experiencing Joyce's masterpiece not as a child but as a 'virgin reader' who knows nothing of the novel or its author. The journey is exhilarating and enlightening.' Austin Briggs, Tompkins Professor of English Literature Emeritus, Hamilton College, and trustee of the International James Joyce Foundation
'This is a terrific book an innovative study full of original, thought-provoking observations and ideas. The real pleasure in reading this study is the insightful, sometimes eye-popping close-readings provided in every chapter by this Joycean grandmaster.' Vincent J. Cheng, Shirley Sutton Thomas Professor of English, University of Utah
"Virgin and Veteran Readings of Ulysses provides brilliant insights into the actual and possible worlds imbricated in Joyce's novel. Norris's unique use of Possible Worlds theory foregrounds the 'plots' of Ulysses, so often obscured by Joyce's dazzling linguistic play. The narrative orientation of Ulysses is vividly seen through a new, complex theoretical lens.' Kimberly J. Devlin, professor of English, University of California Riverside
'With Norris as our expert but still inquiring guide, we encounter the puzzling, suspenseful narrative of Ulysses as if experienced for the first time, as well as through rich layers of previous interpretation, and the recent narrative theory of Possible Worlds. The motives and trials of Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom, and Molly Bloom unfold in competing actual and fictional worlds interior, interpersonal, cultural, historical, and Homeric. Fresh insights into small and missing details of the text abound and rebound.' Bonnie Kime Scott, professor emerita of Women's Studies, San Diego State University

|Scene from "Cold Wars"
Itâs Monday, and that means itâs time for another peek BEHIND THE ECLIPSE, Comic Book Resourcesâ exclusive weekly question-and-answer session with âHeroesâ producers/writers Joe Pokaski and Aron Coliete, where they answer the most important questions about the hit NBC television series, yours!
Last weekâs episode, entitled âBuilding 26,â saw Hiro and Ando take a journey to India, where Hiro found it doesnât take powers to be a true hero. With the help of Rebel, Claire met Alex, a comic book store employee with his own special gift. Noah moved out of the Bennet home only to be drugged and kidnapped by Parkman, Peter and Mohinder. Luke handed over the location of Sylarâs dad and was captured by one of Nathanâs security teams, but was then rescued by Sylar himself. Tracy escaped from her cell, killing a guard before being recaptured and further cementing the threat those with powers pose to the White House.
With tonightâs episode, âCold Wars,â only hours away, CBR takes you BEHIND THE ECLIPSE with Joe Pokaski and Aron Coliete.
CBR: Everyone is curious about Rebel. The guesses to his or her identity range from Micah to Santiago to Hana to West. Some people have decided to bypass it by asking about Rebelâs power set and then deduce back from there. Obviously, you guys canât spoil it just yet, but what can you tell us about Rebel?
Aron Coliete & Joe Pokaski: Well, what do we know? We know Rebel has a phone. And he or she can text. Thatâs about it, so far â but weâll be learning a lot more by way of his or her texts soon enough. But at this point, if you are playing at home â your list of suspects should be about 9 deep.
|Scene from "Cold Wars"
In Building 26, Nathan has a big board with pictures of powered individuals that heâs hunting down. Does everyone on the board have a story behind them? Does the pattern in which the pictures are arranged mean anything?
Thereâs no real rhyme of reason so far, but as we move along, youâll see the board take more form. And the columns of killed/captured/at large firm up. A fun fact you may not know â a lot of those faces in-between, ones you may not recognize, are beloved crew members. The pretty ones, anyway.
What is the order by which Nathanâs team is trying to capture these powered individuals? Alex seems like he wouldnât be as much of a threat as some of the others on the loose, or were they thinking he would be easy an easy âwinâ when they have been failing to capture any others besides Tracy?
Now this question is onto something. This is a government operation â so while the first priority is to apprehend the most dangerous of folks, they need to put up some numbers as well for oversight and/or appearance of doing their job efficiently. (In âThe Wireâ they called it âjuking the statsâ).
With writing finished on Volume 4, how are you guys spending your days? Are you gearing up for Season 5, still working on last minute rewrites, or is this the time when your mainly wearing your producer âhats?â
D) All of the above. (And sleep. Need much sleep)
Our first reader question comes from Nonredhead who is wondering who really wants to live forever:
|Scene from "Cold Wars"
âWill Claire ever have to deal with her own immortality - the possibility she may never grow old or have to watch her loved ones die? It seems to me at least Angela should talk to Claire about it - her experience with Adam and all? It seems to be the Elephant in the room no one wants to talk about. Or perhaps Noah and Angela are in denial.â
Claire will have this talk in the last chapter of âFugitives.â With the only person alive who can relate. Yes. Him.
Allison has a question about Angelaâs accessories, or lack there of:
âI may be wrong, but it seems as if Angela isn't wearing her big fat wedding/engagement ring? Is this true? If so, that's a huge step for Angela as a character. Will this be explored or at least mentioned on the show. That ring was so much apart of her and what it represents; I can't think she stopped wearing it for no reason?â
Wow. We didnât notice. Probably because weâre guys. Weâll check in with wardrobe and Christine Rose to see where that choice came from. Good eye, Allison.
StSword is back, with a few more thought provoking inquiries:
âCan Matt only see Usutu because Usutu was a precog, or has Matt's ability extended to mediumship like Ida May Walker? And if so, are you going to extend Matt's ghostly entourage beyond Usutu?â
Right now he can only connect with Usutu â although, as we stated last week, the original idea was that heâd have access to the whole rolodex of future painters. That being said, the pieces of anatomy weâd give to hear Matt Parkman channel the line: âDamn baby⦠Whatâyou do to your hair?â We would name the episode âAutumn Sunrise.â
âDoes Andoâs ability augmentation just unlock the hidden potential of an ability (which means say Daphne could learn how to time travel on her own) or force them beyond their own potential?â
|Scene from "Cold Wars"
The second, we think. Daphne cannot time travel. Neither can Peter. Heck, neither can Hiro. But we will find another use of Andoâs power by episode 20.
Izzie is wondering if we might see Tracy take a page from Bobby Drake:
âTracy has never frozen anything without having to touch it, the range seems to be quite short (although lethal). Could that be because she hasnât learned the full extent of her power yet? Can we expect to see Tracy freezing stuff from a distance, making it into a projectile; creating ice from ambient moisture or even lowering room temperature?â
Izzie. We have a feeling you will be excited about episode 20 â âCold Snapâ â written by our returning brother, Bryan Fuller. So dress in layers in three weeks.
Peter Dawson, a.k.a Busterman, wants to know if you have any more guest stars tucked up your sleeve:
âI've got a couple of questions this week. The first one is about guest stars: last volume we had Seth Green, Breckin Meyer and Robert Forester just off the top of my head. Any new big names coming our way this volume?â
Swoozie Kurtz will be appearing as a new character and Ellen Green will be reprising an old one. (Did we mention Bryan was back?)
Busterman is also curious about the newest hero to take the stage:
âIs his underwater breathing limited to just that, underwater, or is it more universal like Bianca from the comics?â
Daniel P. wants to see some more character focused episodes:
|Scene from "Cold Wars"
âAre you ever going to have a character-centric episode like âCompany Manâ again but not on HRG? Maybe on Danko, Ando, Peter, etc.? We always get a future episode or a past episode, but I miss this more focused style. It'd be nice to see every now and then.â
What are you doing tonight? âCold Wars.â 9:00PM. If you miss that (donât miss that), stay tuned for episode 23, â1961.â Youâve got a nice month or two ahead of you, Daniel P.
Sho'cye wants to figure out what makes Sylar tick:
Why is it that Sylar was okay with casually murdering Elle - the woman he presumably loved - for no apparent reason, yet rescued Luke - a kid he barely knows â even though Luke no longer has any information to offer him?
Sylar, like any us (to some degree more), is finding himself. Plus, Luke didnât try to work him into something he wasnât while Sylar was being manipulated by people claiming to be his parents. So thereâs that.
Also â stay tuned â I donât think many of his relationships last too long...
Josh Parker has another question about Andoâs augmentation power:
âSo if Ando used his power on Peter, would Peter be able to store multiple powers, or would it just amplify the current power he possesses, or something entirely different?â
Awesome question. I suppose Ando would have to hit him for us to find out.
Goldoa wants to know about everyoneâs favorite de-powered hero, Hiro:
âGiven that Peter's new power has traits in common with his previous power, is it possible that if/when Hiro gains another power that his will have similarities to his original one?â
Very possible. Stay tuned, Goldoa.
|Scene from "Cold Wars"
Joshua is curious if Needle Nose Ned will be making an appearance:
âYou've stated Bob will be seen using Alchemy in episode 23 which is (for now) being titled 1961. Will Stephen Tobolowsky be reprising his role? Or will Bob be portrayed by a younger actor? It was sad to see Bob have such a quick send off.â
Bob, or âBobbyâ as he is called, will be played by young actor H. Michael Croner. Itâs 1961. We miss Mr. Tobolowsky too â but thatâs the point sometimes, to have deaths that stick so you feel the loss.
Carl Rood is curious about Hiroâs and Andoâs travel arrangements:
âHow did Hiro and Ando get to India? Considering how the arrived in the U.S., they couldn't have passports and couldn't really use them if they did. They couldn't use credit cards to buy plane tickets. While Parkman might be able to âbrain mojoâ them onto a plane (although they'd still get picked up on cameras), they still couldn't get through Indian customs without passports and possibly visas. Did Peter fly them? If so how will they get back since they didn't recover Hiro's powers?â
Hiro is still the multi-billionare heir to one of the most powerful companies in Tokyo. Yamagatoâs got some pull. So heâs got some resources.
Jamie Kirkland just wants to see a fight:
âAre Peter and Sylar ever going to do battle again? The rivalry between them has resulted in a few skirmishes, but never a real all out brawl. Are there any plans to have them duel again?â
Yes. But of course, you may have to wait until the last chapter of the volume. That being said, we donât think youâll like how this one turns out.
John wants more Ali Larter, and who doesnât?
|Scene from "Cold Wars"
âI noticed in âVillainsâ that Tracy didn't get a lot of screentime after âEris Quod Sumâ and was kind of bummed, since her character really interested me. Any chance we'll learn about her past-- maybe in Volume Five? Like about her parents and her childhood?â
Weâre in Washington D.C. â Tracy territory. So weâll see her in almost every episode â and as stated before, episode 20 â âCold Snapâ will be very Tracy-riffc.
Addison knows Adam isnât coming back but canât stop being curious about him:
âOn earlier BTEs, you guys mentioned that we would be finding out about Adam's family and why he wanted that gold key, do you still plan on doing that if he is not coming back then?â
We still want to get to it â but it may take a while.
Patrick wanted to remind the guys about a comment made in a previous BEHIND THE ECLIPSE:
âWill we ever get an explanation for Future Peter's scar? You told us it would be this season, and yet it was also said we won't be seeing Future Peter again.â
We had it in a script, we swear! At the end of âVillains,â we swear â but it got cut. We are very committed to seeing how he got (or rather, gets it) â but, for obvious reasons, reluctant to committing to saying when. Because dedicated fans like you who pay attention can call us out on our bull...
|Scene from "Cold Wars"
Cyrus from Boston pulls out an X-Men reference and we love comic book references:
âSo if Ando and Parkman were to use their powers together, could the effect be similar to Professor Xavier using Cerebro on everyone?â
First off, Go Sox. Seriously. We mean that. Secondly, that sounds kind of awesome. We might have to try that. And also, Go Sox.
Daniel Carranza is keeping something from Sylar and needs some help:
âJust like its possible for skillful people to beat a lie detector test, is it possible to beat Sylar's lie detector ability? Maybe some military badass like The Hunter? Or even Noah Bennet?â
I think there are ways to circumvent it. Methods like replacement, or not telling the whole truth.
Thanks as always to Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite for taking the time to participate in BEHIND THE ECLIPSE. For those of you who want to take part in our next Q&A about this weekâs episode, "Cold Wars," email us your questions for the chance to see them answered right here in next week's BEHIND THE ECLIPSE. Please make sure to get in all your questions in by 6:00 PM Pacific time on Thursday, February 26.

The Remarkables ski area and the Snow Farm both announced
today they would delay opening until snow cover improved.
Remarkables Ski area manager Ross Lawrence said he was
"determined" to ensure conditions were right before unveiling
the new Curvey Basin Chair, terrain improvements and sealed
access road to guests.
"We're making good progress towards achieving sufficient snow
cover, and that's being assessed daily so the ski area can
open as soon as possible," Mr Lawrence said.
"Everything is all ready and waiting, and our hard-working
team is excited to get things going. We just have to wait for
Mother Nature to deliver the goods.
"We had some superb early-season snow dumps in May, but the
recent weather system over the South Island hasn't yet topped
up that early snow enough for us to open.''
Snow Farm Ski Operations Manager Andy Pohl said warm and wet
conditions had forced them to delay their opening until June
28. The opening had been scheduled for this Saturday.
"While our snow fence system has managed to capture and
maintain a moderate amount of snow, we are all doing our snow
dance and are optimistic for a snow fall next week. This will
allow our internationally renowned groomer driver, Karl
Johnson to prepare the trails and allow us to open," Mr Pohl
"We'll be looking forward to welcoming skiers and snowshoers
next weekend to celebrate Snow Farm's opening day!" he said.
Coronet Peak opened on June 7 and is operating with
top-to-bottom skiing and riding available.

We will be eclectic, there are no boundaries to taste and we operate purely on instinct. If it feels good we release it.
We are international. Already lined up is Argentinian dark electronic music, UK garage indie, Dutch post punk, punk rock, indie rock, Indian black metal and Brighton pop noise...
We believe in the power of rock n roll. We are proof that music is more alive than ever, the doom mongers can monger and we will get on with the music. We are truly independent."
