Having a severe disability in my experience meant almost total isolation from my peers during my teens and early twenties. I could not talk with them or go out with them and this had a drastic effect on my confidence and selfrespect. I suffered agonies of repressed sexual longing …
In some circles it is quite impossible for me to get an honest opinion about what I think and do. Any trivial achievement is regarded with awe and anything approaching normality is quite inconceivable. If I committed some frightful social blunder, they would nod their heads and make irrelevant excuses for me.
Enough of such things. You soon 'forget' them; but deep within you burns a clear impression of profound inferiority; of unacceptability; of a need to apologise for even being the miserable wretch that you are and for needing that minimum of help you dare to require. When all this is added to a very real and terrifying social immaturity, where can you begin to hope? … Many people, much less disabled than me, accept the role society imposes, hating themselves and their handicaps, hating to ask for help, hating friendly curiosity and concern, hating to admit to what they feel they are.
All this is a terrible indictment of society but it is not an indictment of the individual. Each of them, including myself, is only echoing the fear and hurt about disability and about their own minds and bodies that they received when they were young…
Everyone must learn to be glad of what they really are and must feel able to ask for the necessary help to fulfil themselves. We are all in this together, handicapped or not. We all need help to be ourselves.

Living wage campaign
THE JOSEPH ROWNTREE CHARITABLE TRUST (JRCT) are among signatories of a joint letter urging FTSE 100 companies to support the campaign for a living wage.
The FairPensions organization has just launched 'JustPay!' – a campaign designed to increase awareness of the Living Wage and to campaign for a wider implementation of it in UK companies.
The Ecumenical Council on Corporate Responsibility and members and partners, including JRCT, have co-signed a joint letter supporting the living wage, which has been sent to all FTSE 100 companies.
Other signatories include the central finance board of the Methodist Church, The United Reformed Church and the CCLA, a specialist investment management for charities, faith organisations and local authorities.
The letter is written on behalf of 'a group of UK and international investors as well as civil society organizations', and urges the company concerned to join others by 'committing to adopt Living Wage standards in your UK operations.'
The letter states: 'a Living Wage is the minimum hourly wage necessary for housing, food and other basic needs for an individual and their family. Living
Wage rates are based on Minimum Income Standards methodology and take account of real living costs for essential goods and services in a given year. Within London, the Mayor's Office announces the Living Wage figure each year – currently £7.85 per hour. Outside London, the Centre for Research in Social Policy at Loughborough University has calculated a single rate for the regions, which is £7.20 per hour. Accredited Living Wage employers ensure all their own staff and those of their on-site contractors are paid at least the Living Wage.'
Research and business leader testimony has shown that paying a Living Wage is in the best interests of companies. Benefits include stronger staff retention, significant falls in absenteeism, and improved workforce morale.
Guy Stallard, director of facilities at KPMG Europe, has stressed the business benefits saying, 'We've found that paying the Living Wage is a smart business move as increasing wages has reduced turnover and absenteeism, while productivity and professionalism have subsequently increased.'
Being recognised as an accredited Living Wage employer is rapidly becoming an established mark of commitment to corporate social responsibility.
Right to conscientious objection not respected
A MEMBER of the royal navy who objects to the war in Afghanistan is facing imprisonment for 'disobedience'. Michael Lyons will be courtmartialed in Portsmouth on Friday 20 May.
Human rights campaigners say the case shows that the right to conscientious objection is not respected. The hearing falls five days after International Conscientious Objectors' Day was marked around the world. Michael Lyons declined to participate in rifle training while applying for discharge due to conscientious objection. His objection was based on both the level of civilian casualties and his belief that British casualties should not be given priority in medical treatment.
The Advisory Committee on Conscientious Objection (ACCO) rejected the application in December and declared the objection was 'political' rather than 'moral'(see 'Armed Forces Bill and human rights', 14 January). He therefore remains subject to military law.
'Ninety-five years ago, the UK became the first country in the world to formally recognise the right to conscientious objection,' said Emma Sangster of Forces Watch, 'yet this right still exists more in theory than in practice'.
Government urged to reduce income inequality
OVER FORTY MPs from at least six parties have urged the government to promote policies that reduce income inequality.
They have signed an Early Day Motion (EDM 1775) – a sort of parliamentary petition – arguing that 'societies with smaller income differences between rich and poor have fewer health and social problems, such as teenage births, violence, mental illness and drug abuse'.
Signatories so far include MPs from the Conservatives, Greens, Labour, Liberal Democrats, DUP and SDLP. The Equality Trust say that people wanting to ask their MP to sign the EDM can use a form available on the organisation's website.

Anonymous plans to knock State of the Union offline
Hacking collective claims it has a plan to disrupt live streaming of President's speech due to Swartz death and Obama cybersecurity plan
Computerworld - The Anonymous hacking collective Tuesday said it plans to disrupt the live web stream of President Barack Obama's State of the Union address tonight.
In separate communiques, Anonymous said it is moving to distrupt the proceedings to protest the recent death of Internet pioneer Aaron Swartz and a White House plan to issue a cybersecurity executive order on Wednesday.
In one alert, Anonymous said it will form a "virtual blockade between Capitol Hill and the Internet" during the President's address. "Armed with nothing more than Lulz, Nyancat and PEW-PEW-PEW! Lazers, we will face down the largest superpower on Earth," the group said.
The communique offered no details on how Anonymous plans to derail the webcast. Instead it called attention to Swartz' recent suicide and blamed the death on "idiotic and destructive efforts" to control the Internet, presumably by the government.
It goes on to list various topics that Obama is not expected to mention in the address, including the National Defense Authorization Act and the continued detention of Bradley Manning, the U.S. soldier accused of leaking critical documents to WikiLeaks.
A communique in the form of a letter addressed to Obama called attention to the administration's widely reported plans to issue a cybersecurity executive order on Wednesday. The long-expected order stems from what the White House has long said is the need for immediate action to protect critical assets against cyber threats because Congress has long failed to pass cybersecurity legislation.
"Anonymous has reached a verdict of NO CONFIDENCE in this executive order and the plans to reintroduce the CISPA bill to Congress on the same day," the group said referring to plans by two U.S. lawmakers plan to reintroduce a controversial cybersecurity bill.
"As such, President Obama and the State of the Union Address will be BANISHED from the Internet for the duration of live delivery," the group claimed.
Anonymous is known for making such threats on a regular basis, some successful and some not.
The White House has said that it will offer an enhanced version of Obama's third State of the Union address that will combine live streaming with charts, statistics and data designed to provide context for those following online.

Design Article
Controlling multiple LED strings with C2000 MCUs
Daniel Chang; Brett Larimore, Patrick Carner, Texas Instruments
There are many design considerations which go into making the decision whether to use a shared power stage or multiple independent power stages. LED output is determined by the voltage and current applied to the string of LEDs, and several factors affect the optimal drive level required for a particular string of LEDs:
• LED type: Each type of LED (such as a 350mA or 1A LED) has its own brightness/voltage curve which the developer needs to take into account to accurately manage brightness. LEDs made from different manufacturers may also have a different curve even if the current rating is the same.
• String length: Two strings with a different number of LEDs, even if the LEDs are of the same type and from the same bin, have different drive requirements.
• LED color: For applications utilizing red, green, and blue LED triplets to mix colors, each different color LED has its own optimal operating voltage.
• LED variation: the manufacturing process can lead to variations between LEDs. LEDs which are close in output can be purchased at a premium (i.e. binning). Alternatively, the operating voltage of a string can be dynamically adjusted to compensate for these variations.
In general, applications that use only a single type of LED, such as city or industrial lighting applications, may be well served by a single power stage topology, given that the number and type of LEDs is constant. A single power stage topology can also be an excellent way to consolidate analog components when many strings of LEDs are in use. For example, a single controller, as used in TI's Piccolo LED kits, can efficiently manage eight separate strings of the same LED type.
Many applications, on the other hand, might benefit from a topology with multiple independent DC/DC supplies, each driving a separate LED string. When the LED strings in a system differ, in length or LED type, for example, working from a single power stage requires that the drive voltage be adjusted to match each string specification. Dropping this voltage for a particular string could decrease the power efficiency of the other strings or lead to suboptimal color control.
Furthermore, using separate and independent DC/DC stages for each LED string could be useful when precise operating values are required of each LED string, whether these values be brightness, color tone, or other measure. Supplying a separate voltage to each string through individual DC/DC stages can provide developers further control over the operating efficiency and light output accuracy of each LED string. With this design topology, each DC/DC stage drives LED strings of different types and lengths, providing great flexibility in an LED lighting design.
The value of color accuracy varies from application to application. Accuracy for ambient lighting in a car may not be important if the driver can adjust the color based on preference. However, accuracy is very important if lighting needs to reflect a specific color. Accuracy can also be important, even when only white LEDs are in use. Xenon headlights, for example, can be too yellow or purple. Not only are such inaccuracies undesirable (i.e., purple headlights distract other drivers), they can negatively impact product life.
The decision whether to use a single or multiple power stage topology can also be affected by maintenance and risk considerations. For example, a simple lighting application replacing fluorescent bulbs in ballasts uses light modules that are all identical. Using a single power stage may help keep maintenance costs down; since the power stage circuitry will be located in the main controller, each light module is comprised primarily of the casing and LEDs. However, a single power stage is also a single point of failure for the many light modules connected to it.
Alternatively, a system requiring high reliability, then, may rely upon a multiple power stage topology, as a failure is likely to disable only a single lighting module. However, this redundancy also increases light module replacement costs since power stage circuitry is part of the light module.
Power stage design is a relatively straightforward process using TI reference designs and software tools. TI provides reference designs which developers can modify to optimize the power stage for the particular LED type and number of LEDs used in a string. Developers can create a fine-tuned power stage by supplying the brightness/voltage curve of the LEDs in use and having the controller sense the current and voltage levels using a high-precision ADC to further tune parameters. Furthermore, tools from the Mathworks, PSIM from Powersim, and Embedded Controls Developer from VisSim, all support the Piccolo architecture and ease power stage design.
In addition to TI's Code Composer Studio integrated development environment, developers have access to controlSUITE software, a comprehensive collection of production-worthy control software. Offering an extensive range of functions, controlSUITE software provides example projects which provide much of the base code required for complete lighting applications, including closed loop control of DC/DC power and LED driver stages. For developers new to LED design, the example projects substantially lower the LED learning curve.

Dr DSP
Remember when driving an LED just used a GPIO pin and you picked a resistor value to control the brightness. No longer.
Luckily the controlSUITE software can help you climb the learning curve. If you can standardize on one or two simple architectures (like the two described here) it can make the design even easier. However, make sure you know the key application requirements so your implementation is the best fit..

The Symfoni Story
The Symfoni Software products saw the light of day in 1994, shortly after Lotus had presented their new groupware, and the need for content applications arose. The Symfoni-solutions earned a solid client base in the 1990's, under then-owner Cinet AS. Merkantildata, later Ementor, further developed the solutions, and had 150,000 users in Norway by 2001.
The Finnish software company TJ Group bought the Symfoni products in order to build a Nordic distribution in 2002. TJ Group merged with German Gedys Software AG in 2004. At that, the current owners bought Symfoni's products and some of the TJ Group's applications together with the companies TJ Group AS and Gedys Software House AS. The goal was to create the leading house on the subject of collaboration software.
Symfoni bought the Danish company Mindcom ApS Danmark, and later Key2Know. The IBM software-based department gained a leading position on the subject in Denmark in 2007 at the takeover of IT Companion ApS in Aarhus.
In Norway, the expansion came naturally, along with Vever AS in May 2008, and the purchase of Informatikk AS Webpublisher product, with accompanying client base in 2005.
In Sweden, the Swedish Collaboration Software AB, established in 2006, merged with the listed IT-company Mandator AB (now a product of Fujitsu). When Fujitsu aquired Mandator AB, Symfoni bought 49% of their shares.
Karlstad-based Vever AB was purchased by Symfoni in May 2008, and joined location in Stockholm, Karlstad and Gothenburg. Vever AB became Symfoni Software AB, which is represented in the three aforementioned cities.
i-Seven AB (Malmø) and i-Seven A/S (Copenhagen) was a part of Symfoni in April 2011. This gives Symfoni a very good coverage of the important Øresund Region.
In june 2011 Symfoni acquired Rubik Solutions Group. With Rubik we are now present in 3 new countries; Finland, Belgium and Holland. We have about 200 employees sitting in 15 offices in 6 different countries.
The current number of clients in northern Europe is 1.000, while the number of end-users being around 900,000. Symfoni grew from grossing 19 million and a 2,4 million surplus in 2004 to 99 million and a 14,7 million surplus in 2009. (Figures in NOK)
The company has seen a 335% growth over the last five years, and entered the list of the 500 fastest growing technology businesses in EMEA, "Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMA" in 2010. The same year, Symfoni's products were also listed among Gartner's recommended software.

The recent devestating floods in rural NSW are a reminder that disaster can strike at any time. And traditionally with bushfire season soon upon us, the RSPCA NSW reminds the community that now is the time to prepare an emergency evacuation plan. The plan should also include measures to ensure the safety of family pets and other animals being cared for.
�Planning ahead is critical,� states RSPCA NSW Chief Inspector David OShannessy. �Often, people have no choice but to leave their animals behind because they�ve not considered their pets as part of their evacuation plan.�
In preparation for an emergency, the RSPCA recommends:
Livestock tips include:
�Pets typically cannot survive on their own so taking animals along at the time of evacuation is strongly recommended whenever possible,� stresses Chief Inspector OShannessy.
If you must evacuate and cannot take your pets, leave a sign in the front window indicating how many animals have been left behind, along with your name and contact information. Remember to place the sign high up in the window so that it doesn�t become obscured by debris or rising water levels (in the event of a flood).
While the thought of disaster and emergency isn�t always at the forefront of your mind, taking time now to prepare helps ensure the safety of your family and pets.
RSPCA NSW also reccomends seeking more information on animal welfare before and during emergencies at...

Features: The Steak House has been voted the best steak house in Las Vegas for two decades, and once you taste one of their 21-day aged mesquite-grilled masterpieces you're sure to agree.
Why We Dine: Often called a diamond in the rough buried in the Circus Circus, The Steak House delivers top-quality steaks and seafood at a surprisingly affordable price.
- Atmosphere: As you wander in from the lovably kitschy maze of the Circus Circus casino floor, you'll be transported into the rich, dark wood wonderland of The Steak House. The restaurant oozes the with the charm of a English-style lodge, complete with red leather booths and dim lighting.
- Dry-Aging: Their selection of corn-fed beef is aged 21 days in the glass enclosed aging room, which guests can catch a glimpse of when entering the restaurant.
Inside Knowledge: While walk-ups occasionally get lucky, it is recommended you make reservations before your dinner.
We Recommend:
- Filet Mignon: Tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked--this might be the best steak you have ever tasted. Perfectly paired with your choice of flavorful sides and a hearty selection of fresh-baked breads.
- New York Strip: A must-try for New York Strip aficionados, a huge slab of meat that's been expertly aged and seasoned.

Students in Mass Comm's On-Camera Presence course practiced their skills in a live and action-packed setting before Friday's game between the Marlins and Mets. Alexa Carroll, Kristen Canada and Carly Haden worked on their TV Stand-ups, while Samantha Fiorenzo manned the camera. The "Broadcasting Crew" had a chance to talk and take pictures with former Mets SS Jose Reyes, Mets OF Scott Hairston and Pitcher Bobby Parnell, then watched the game from the press box. "An amazing day, almost surreal. Not only was it a great opportunity to get some hands-on experience, but it made it very clear that interviewing and being part of the media is what I love doing. This is what I want to pursue for a career," said Samantha Fiorenzo. This broadcasting field trip to Citi Field was courtesy of Ethan Wilson of the NY Mets.

Comments about ASICS Thermopolis Gloves Handwear: These gloves kept my hands warm during runs below 40 degrees. They are very comfortable and cover the wrist completely to keep cold air from seeping up my arms. The terry wiping surface is a plus, and the gloves easily wash up in warm water and dry in a dryer on low temperature. As a woman, the S/M were slightly too long for my fingers, but I still love them.
Cons Best Uses
Comments about ASICS Thermopolis Gloves Handwear: The Asics Thermopolis gloves felt great and kept my hands warm on a day that was 37f, very windy, with a sprinkling of rain. I'm looking forward to using them when it is really cold, i.e when the snot freezes in your nose!

Drawing on his classical training and his deep love of jazz, the recording documents an intimate evening in November 2011, featuring an artful blend of musical styles with direct nods to Michel Petrucciani, Dave Brubeck, George Gershwin, J.S.

Guggul Extract by Pure Encapsulations promotes healthy lipid metabolism, supports healthy platelet function, and may support joint health.
Guggul Extract by Pure Encapsulations provides support for lipid metabolism. Guggul is an Ayurvedic extract sourced from the resin of the Commiphora mukul tree of India. Guggul contains guggulsterones, compounds that maintain healthy lipid metabolism. A 12-week open trial involving guggul supplementation in 205 subjects and a double blind, crossover trial with 125 volunteers receiving guggul suggested these effects. In another randomized, double blind study, guggul promoted healthy lipid ratios. In the same study, guggul provided lipid peroxide protection, revealing important antioxidant action for lipid support. Additional proposed mechanisms for the lipid metabolizing potential of guggul include supporting liver enzyme and cellular membrane function, promoting receptor function, enhancing bile acid excretion, and promoting thyroid function. In addition, guggulsterones may support platelet function and fibrinolytic activity, helping to maintain blood vessel health and cardiovascular support. Guggul also shows initial promise for supporting joint function and comfort.

Today the German Federal Constitutional Court ruled on a request from what the New York Times called a group of "German lawmakers, academics and some 37,000 citizens" for a temporary injunction blocking German payments into the "bailout" fund to assist struggling member states' economies as the European sovereign debt crisis continues. The court did not rule on the formal constitutionality of this long-term and possibly more permanent arrangement, however. An extended extract of the decision, in English, is posted at the official site of the Budesverfassungsgericht, BVerfG, 2 BvR 1390/12 . German taxpayers have been concerned about the continuing sovereignty of their elected Parliament to determine how their tax money is being spent as the euro crisis unfolds. The court apparently believes that the Bundestag's continuing budgetary responsibilites in the arrangements will be effective, at least until shown to be otherwise.

Bringing baby home
- Find a health care provider for your baby.
- Get your home and car ready for your baby.
- Learn about newborn screening tests required in your state.
Getting ready for baby
Find a health care provider
A pediatrician is a health care provider who takes care of babies and children. To find a pediatrician in your area, go to the Web site of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
A family physician is a health care provider who takes care of people of all ages. To find a family physician in your area, go to the Web site of the American Academy of Family Physicians.
It's a good idea to choose a pediatrician, family physician or another health care provider for your baby before he or she is born. When you first meet with the provider, ask:
- How often should I bring my baby in for checkups?
- How far in advance should I make an appointment?
- How do I make an appointment if my baby gets sick?
- What do I do in case of an emergency?
Decide about breastfeeding
Before your baby is born, decide if you'll breastfeed or feed your baby formula. Breastfeeding is feeding your baby with milk from your breasts. Formula is a special liquid food that you feed your baby from a bottle. Talk it over with your partner and your provider. Here are some benefits of breastfeeding:
- Breast milk protects your baby from infections that formula does not.
- Breast milk is always ready when your baby wants to eat.
- Breast milk is free.
- Women who breastfeed may receive some protection from breast and ovarian cancer.
Ask you provider about breastfeeding classes in your area.
Get ready at home
Here are some things you'll need:
Child safety seat: Make sure your baby's child safety seat is correctly installed in your car before you go to the hospital.
Crib: Choose a crib with slats no more than 2 3/8 inches apart. Make sure the crib isn't painted with lead or varnish. Cribs made after 1989 meet these safety rules.
Diapers: Plan on using about 70 diapers (disposable or cloth) a week.
- 6 to 8 T-shirts or onesies
- 6 to 8 sleepers
- 4 to 6 pairs of booties or socks
- 4 to 6 receiving blankets
- Washcloths and towels
Medical supplies:
- Rectal digital thermometer (not a mercury thermometer) and lubricant (petroleum jelly). A rectal digital thermometer gives the best temperature reading for newborns.
- Non-aspirin liquid pain reliever for infants (such as acetaminophen)
- Rubbing alcohol to help clean the umbilical cord stump
- Cotton swabs
- Saline drops to help relieve a stuff nose
- Infant nail clippers
- Suction bulb for nose

Humans perceive a continuous colour spectrum, but divide the spectrum into colour categories in order to reason and communicate about colour. There is an ongoing debate on whether these colour categories necessary for language communication are universal or culture-specific, whether these categories are genetically determined or learned, and whether there is a causal influence of language on colour category acquisition or not. The dissertation presents a number of models, each examining one of these outstanding issues. The models draw on techniques from multi-agent systems, machine learning and evolutionary programming. After considering the behaviour of each model, we conclude in favour of a cultural specificity of language categories and argue that learning under the influence of language is the most plausible explanation for their acquisition.BibTex

Have you guy noticed on Pinterest that Quinoa seems to be all the rage right now?
Did you know what Quinoa was before the recent popluarity?
Do you kind of know what it is? Totally know what it is?
I had heard the word before, Quinoa…just kind of rolls off your tongue right…hahaha.
KEEN-WAH. At least that is how this west coaster says it. I could be totally wrong. TO-TA-LEE.
I was in the group of "curious". I was kind of intrigued by this power house little grain that everyone swears by. It seemed like it was the answer come true for the Gluten free diet.
Again, super intrigued.
So I decided to peruse Pinterest, a favorite time-waisting explosion of ideas in gallery form that is really altogether quite wonderful.
I came across several ideas, but the Quinoa Pizza Bites seemed to offer just what this Momma needed. A way to present this new and interesting grain in a 100% kid friendly menu item.
What is more kid friendly than pizza? Or heck, what is more kid friendly than something in bite form?
At my house, not much.
So I made our family some Quinoa Pizza Bites.
These little health powerhouse Pizza Bites were a hit almost the whole house around. My smallest eater had me pick out the green bits. I maybe should have chopped the basil up smaller.
Paired up with some pizza sauce this made a kid-friendly meal that also filled the Momma's healthy food quota.
So if you, like me, are intrigued by quinoa but haven't been sure how to introduce it to your family, I recommend these for sure. If you, unlike me, already have cooked with quinoa, add these to your list of quinoa favorites.
They will be a hit, especially if tiny green bits aren't your kid's kryptonite.
Quinoa Pizza Bites
adapted from So Very Blessed
2 cups cooked quinoa
2 eggs
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup shredded mozzerella cheese
2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/2 -7 0z bag of turkey pepperoni, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tsp dried oregano
pizza sauce for dipping
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray muffin pan (you can use a regular or mini pan)
Mix together everything but pizza sauce.
Evenly distribute into greased pan. If you use a regular pan, this will fill each cup about to the top( ABOUT 1/4 cup full). If you use a mini pan, it will make about double.
Bake for 20-25 minutes for regular pan and 15-20 for mini. They should be firm.
Let them set and cool slightly.
Serve with pizza sauce.
Feeling healthier already!

Robert pattinson
A DOOR swings open and for just the briefest of moments, the silhouette of Robert Pattinson can be made out standing against a window.
Even the jaded journalists that have assembled for the press conference are straining to get a look at 'R-Patz', as he's fondly known, before the door closes.
This adoration is due to Pattinson's role as 'vegetarian' vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight saga, a movie franchise based on the books by Stephenie Meyer.
Meyer has sold 70 million books in 45 languages and there are still another two films to be made after the release of the second instalment, New Moon.
The Twilight series follows the shy Bella Swan, played by Kristen Stewart, who arrives in the town of Forks, Washington, and promptly falls in love with the "impossibly beautiful" Edward, a vampire destined to be 17-years-old for eternity.
Pattinson believes it's his character fans have fallen for, not him. "I think a lot of people want to hold up the Edward and Bella relationship as being an ideal one. It's about total commitment but there's always that sense of danger there as well."
The 'Pattinson effect' may now see fans fainting at the mere mention of his name, but rewind a couple ofyears to the news that he'd been cast in the lead role and there was an outcry from 'Twi-hards' who labelled him "disgusting," and even "repulsive".
Even before the first Twilight movie was released last October, Pattinson was the reluctant recipient of relentless attention from paparazzi. Now even a quick nip to the corner shop results in pandemonium.
Not bad going for a 23-year-old bloke from Barnes in London who was an unemployed actor when the call for Twilight came.
There's been much talk of an off-screen romance between Pattinson and Stewart, 19, something that neither party will confirm or deny despite recent photos of the pair holding hands in Paris.
Back at the press conference, polite applause breaks out as Pattinson takes his seat. Wearing jeans, a white shirt and jacket, he's looking pretty tired and dishevelled but there's no denying his wide-eyed good looks, even if he is trying to hide his chiselled features underneath stubble.
He and his co-stars are on a world-wide promotional tour of New Moon, and the relentless schedule means he only has a few hours in London before the Twilight carnival continues to another country.
Even though his new-found fame has forced him into spending most of his time in hotel rooms, you don't hear Pattinson complaining, although he's admitted he isn't"really a crowd person".
"And there are always places where you can disappear to," he adds, tugging one of his sideburns. Aside from anonymity, he says there are only a few things he's had to give up since the Twilight hysteria took hold. "But I never did much in the first place," he adds with a smile.
A pause for thought and then he adds,"I got a car in LA last summer, but I really only had three months driving without ten cars following me. So that's a little annoying."
An accomplished musician, he also misses playing the piano and guitar at open mic nights, something he used to do when work dried up pre-Twilight.
Pattinson's first foray into acting came care of the local Barnes Theatre Club where he took part in a production of Tess of the d'Urbervilles. His performance landed him an agent and a role in Vanity Fair, apart that ended up on the cutting room floor.
The casting agent felt so bad for not telling him what had happened, she put him forward for the role of the doomed golden-boy Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire - a role he won.
"When I went into Harry Potter it was the fourth one, so everybody knew each other and everything was so well-oiled," says Pattinson. "With Twilight, it was very weird doing a franchise at an embryonic level and interesting to see many warring energies."
According to Catherine Hardwicke, director of Twilight, Pattinson had to get up and leave a third of the way through the first screening of Twilight, because he couldn't stand watching himself.
"This one's easier," he says, rubbing his neck. "I'm kind of a supporting role.Taylor, (Lautner, who plays werewolf Jacob Black) is the soul of the movie."
To satisfy the teenage thirst for the boys and their pecs,"You get a lot of nipple shots in this movie," says Pattinson laughing.
Lautner piled on 30 pounds of muscle for the second movie and it's his physical transformation that's currently causing a stir. "I was really terrified," says Pattinson chuckling. "I hadn't worked out at all and then I saw Taylor at the beginning of the year and I did feel incredibly inadequate."
Bewildered, almost apologetic about his success, it sounds like he has his family to thank for keeping him so grounded despite the hype.
"I don't think they really know what I'm doing," he says. "I still think they have trouble understanding I'msupposed to be an actor, the same way I do."

Prior to last week's Mutua Madrid Open, Ana and ATP world No.1 Novak Djokovic appeared on popular Spanish TV show El Hormiguero ("The Anthill").
You can watch the appearance (in Spanish) by clicking here (link opens in new window).
The winner of the April competition is Emanuele Di Falco of Germany.
He correctly answered "Malaysia" to the question, "In which of the following countries has Ana never competed in a WTA event?" (The other options were Indonesia, Thailand and South Korea)
Congratulations to him, he wins an adidas item signed by Ana.
Ana was unable to build upon the momentum gathered by last week's Madrid semi-final appearance, as she was beaten 6-3, 2-6, 6-2 by world No.35 Ursula Radwanska in the first round of the Internazionali BNL d'Italia in Rome.
The 25-year-old was a shadow of the player who thrashed world No.6 Angelique Kerber in Madrid last week. She was tentative during most of the match and
Ana's run to the semi-finals of the Mutua Madrid Open has seen her rise to 13th in the latest WTA rankings, which are published today.
In the Race to the Championships she is also placed 13th.
Current WTA top 20:
Ana has been drawn against Poland's Ursula Radwanska in the first round of the Internazionali BNL d'Italia, which begins in Rome on Monday. She is seeded 15th in the 56-woman draw.
Ana has a 2-1 head-to-head record against the world No.31 and beat her 6-2, 6-1 in Miami two months ago.
If she were to reach round two Ana would take on either Ayumi Morita or her close friend Sorana Cirstea.
Ana was unable to reach the final of the Mutua Madrid Open as she fell 6-4, 6-3 to world No.2 Maria Sharapova of Russia. The 16th seed had her chances in a close opening set but she could not take advantage of them, converting just one out of four break opportunities.
Ana produced a display of supreme quality as she crushed world No.6 Angelique Kerber 6-3, 6-1 in the quarter-finals of the Mutua Madrid Open.
The 25-year-old broke the German immediately and led 2-0. Though she was broken back, Ana reasserted her supremacy as she overwhelmed Kerber with her forehand.
It was even more on-sided in the second set with Ana scoring three straight breaks. She was broken while serving for the match but added another break in the following game to clinch victory in only 58 minutes.
Ana takes on world No.6 Angelique Kerber in the quarter-finals of the Mutua Madrid Open on Friday. It will be the third meeting between the pair, with Ana leading the head-to-head series 2-0.
Ana battled through to the quarter-finals of the Mutua Madrid Open with a 5-7, 6-2, 7-6 (7-5) victory over Great-Britain's Laura Robson. The 25-year-old was down 5-2 in the decider before she reeled off four games and eventually closed out the match in a tiebreak.
The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) today announced that Singapore has won the bidding contest to host the season-ending WTA Championships during 2014-2018.
The event showcases the world's top 8 ranked singles players and the top four doubles teams. Ana took part in the tournament in 2007 and 2008. The current host city is Istanbul.

Qaddafi YouTube Spoof by Israeli Gets Arab Fans
A YouTube clip mocking Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi's megalomania is fast becoming a popular token of the Libya uprising across the Middle East. And in an added affront to Colonel Qaddafi, it was created by an Israeli living in Tel Aviv.
Get down! Get funky!
Noy Alooshe, 31, an Israeli journalist, musician and Internet buff, said he saw Colonel Qaddafi's televised speech last Tuesday in which the Libyan leader vowed to hunt down protesters "inch by inch, house by house, home by home, alleyway by alleyway," and immediately identified it as a "classic."
The NYT points out "Mr. Alooshe plays in a band called Hovevey Zion, or the Lovers of Zion."

Good WeekendJune 17th 2013 12:57 am[ Leave A Comment | 4 people already have ]
Mommy finally came to get me at the kennel on Saturday. Since I was in the kennel for almost 3 weeks it cost Mommy millions and millions of dollars to get me out. Mommy said it was well worth it for her piece of mind knowing that I was well cared for. She then told me all about MY new house and the trip that we are going to have to make by plane to get to MY new house. She said she will be going out of town less for work and I will be going to a kennel less often. This all makes me very happy. I am looking forward to Mommy and I living in MY new house. Mommy is coming homeJune 13th 2013 11:43 pm[ Leave A Comment | 5 people already have ] Mommy is finally coming home tomorrow. I have been in the kennel for three weeks while Mommy has been traveling all over. She says she is working but I don't always believe her. She was in Toronto for a week and she was in Kingston for a week and then she was in a place called Deerhurst Resort for a week. She must think I am a dumb pup if she thinks she can fool me into thinking the resort place is work. Mommy said she is going to tell me all about our house when she gets home. I guess I can forgive her for leaving me in the kennel if she bought me a house. I am going to have my very own backyard and a Princess room and Mommy isn't going to have to travel as much in the new location. Mommy said we will get to spend more time together. Our new house is only 2.8 km away from the office which will be very handy for coming home to let me out. More HouseJune 9th 2013 9:15 pm[ Leave A Comment | 4 people already have ] Our new house had an inspection today and passed with flying colours expect for one thing. The HRV needs a repair and the man said it wouldn't cost much. The realtor lady is going to ask the sellers to pay for it. While Mommy was in the house she looked at the carpet in the bedrooms. She had to admit it is in good shape and maybe she shouldn't rip it out right away. Yahoo, I am a step closed to having carpet. I could play lots of games with carpet in the bedrooms and hall. I just know that once Mommy sees how nice the carpet is she will keep it. New HouseJune 6th 2013 2:38 pm[ Leave A Comment | 7 people already have ]
I think I have a new house. Mommy was doing something called negotiating for the past couple of days and she bought a new house. It won't be final until we get someone to come to the house to inspect it. I don't know what they are inspecting for but I hope it turns out. The bad news is I have to share my Princess room with the computer. There is only two bedrooms on the main floor so one is the room for the big bed and the other is for my Princess room and the computer. Actually this might work out. I can play on the computer and order things like Mommy does. It doesn't look hard. I just can sit on the chair and pound my paws on keys. Doesn't that sound cool? Hmmm......what should I order???? In the basement is another bedroom that Mommy says can be a guest room. House Hunting ContinuesJune 5th 2013 1:58 pm[ Leave A Comment | 1 person already has ] Mommy is still looking for houses. Today one was too small and one was too big. She thinks she has found one that is just right and put in an offer this afternoon. We will see what happens........... She says she has to build a fence on two sides before we move in for little Princess Jelly (ME). She also wants to rip out the carpet in the two bedrooms and the hall. :0 No, no, no! I want the carpet. I hope the people charge Mommy so much money for the house that she has none left to rip out the carpet. House HuntingJune 3rd 2013 9:37 pm[ Leave A Comment | 3 people already have ]
Mommy is away shopping for houses and I am stuck in the kennel. I wish I could have went with her but she said it is too far away. I hope Mommy remembers everything that I want in MY house - carpet, yard, Princess room and air conditioning. Mommy had to get up at 3:30 am today so she could get to the airport for a 6 am flight. Mommy is not a morning person so that was hard for her. She looked at some houses today but she didn't like what she saw. She is hoping she will see something good tomorrow. Beautiful WeekendMay 26th 2013 7:32 pm[ Leave A Comment | 2 people already have ] I had a real nice weekend. The weather was beautiful, sunny and about 15 C. I spent lots of time outside. I laid in the sun and when I got too hot I went in the shade. I watched the activity on my path and barked at any pups I saw. I would go back in the house and visit with Mommy for awhile and then go back outside. Or I would come in the house and nap for half an hour and then back outside. What a nice weekend after that long winter! HouseMay 23rd 2013 11:18 am[ Leave A Comment | 5 people already have ] Mommy and I are talking about buying a house in Kingston. We pretty much agree on most of the things we want in the house except for one thing. My priority is a house with a fenced backed yard, patio doors or a big window to look out of, a Princess room and I want the house fully carpeted. It is the carpet that we disagree on. Mommy says no carpet because it is better for something called allergies. I want carpet! I hate slippery floors. Mommy loves the floors where we live now because there is no carpet. I only have a couple of small throw rugs to play on and the puzzle pieces on my Princess room floor. It is very pathetic to see a sweet little affie trying to play with all her toys on a tiny piece of carpet. Just think of the fun I could have in a house that was fully carpeted! NotmeMay 20th 2013 3:53 pm[ Leave A Comment | 4 people already have ] That bad pup "Notme" came to my house last night. What did he do you ask? He had the nerve to pee-pee on my floor in my Princess Room. A pee-pee pad was only a couple of feet away and he didn't use it but did the pee-pee right on the floor. I never pee-pee on the floor and only use the pee-pee pads when I am desperate. Mommy got up in the morning and saw the pee-pee. (at least she didn't step in it! BOL!) She said, "Jelly, what is this?" I ran away fast and went into my tent in Mommy's room. I wanted to stay far away from what that bad pup "Notme" did. Mommy cleaned it up and my Princess Room is as good as new. I hope "Notme" stays away from my house. RainMay 20th 2013 1:21 am[ Leave A Comment | 3 people already have ] My diary entries lately have been about snow but now it is about rain. It is raining and raining and raining here this weekend. Mommy said we are suppose to get 70 mm (2 3/4 inches) of rain this weekend. The last time Mommy put me out I just turned around and came back in. It was raining so hard even with my rain coat on that I just couldn't potty. Mommy says she hopes that "Notme" will not show up here this weekend. I don't know what she is talking about............ |

A Wisconsin pilot has been sentenced to six months in jail, with five of those months to be spent outside of prison, for an August 2004 crash that claimed the life of a passenger.
ANN has reported extensively on the case of Mark Strub, who offered to take passengers on 10-minute rides in his 1941 PT-13 Stearman biplane (file photo of type below) during a Children's Miracle Network Balloon Rally in Wisconsin Rapids, for a suggested donation of $10.
While giving Kimberly Reed a ride in the vintage aircraft, the plane struck power lines, and came to rest inverted in the Wisconsin River. Strub survived the accident, but he wasn't able to free Reed, who suffered a broken neck.
According to the NTSB Probable Cause report on the crash, Strub said he had given three people free rides prior to the accident flight. Reed has asked for an aerobatic flight, so with both persons wearing parachutes the plane departed, and climbed to 3,000 feet AGL.
After performing one Cuban eight, a loop, and two hammerhead stalls, Strub and Reed were heading back to the airport, at an altitude of about 50 feet over the water when the aircraft struck the lines, and flipped into the Nepco Lake.
Strub accepted a plea deal last month, in exchange for a reduced jail sentence. On Tuesday, Portage County Circuit Court Judge Frederic Fleishauer sentenced the man to six months of incarceration, with the first 30 days to be served in prison with work release.
Strub will be released after that, reports The Wisconsin Rapids Tribune, to serve the next 60 days at home under electronic surveillance. Strub may then perform 1,000 hours of community service in place of the final 90 days of the sentence.
"There is no way I or anyone doing what I'm doing can impose a sentence that will bring Kim (Reed) back or soften the grief," Fleishauer said in his ruling.
As part of the sentence, the judge also ordered Strub to write a letter of apology to Reed's family, within the next 30 days. Strub must also participate in, and pay for, victim mediation counseling, if Reed's family agrees.
That's unlikely to happen, however... as the wounds still run deep for Kimberly Reed's family. Kevin Reed, Kimberly's husband, said he did not oppose the plea agreement last month not because of any sense of forgiveness for the pilot's mistakes... but because he didn't want to relive the nightmare in a court trial.
"I do not ever want to see the face or have my children have to look in the eye of the man who killed their mother again," he said Tuesday.
Nicholas Borkowski, Kimberly's father, told the paper he opposed the plea deal. "It is incomprehensible to me that the charges had been reduced to a misdemeanor when my daughter, my baby is dead," Borkowski said.
About 40 people showed up at the sentencing hearing to support Strub. Six testified on his behalf, while many others wrote letters of support for the grief-stricken pilot.
"He was so distraught," recalled fellow pilot Daniel Steckbauer, who visited with Strub the night following the accident.
