Just because an employee is doing a lousy job doesn't mean she isn't also being sexually harassed.
Ignoring her complaints and focusing strictly on her performance may backfire if you terminate her. A jury may decide that harassment affected her performance or that, even if you fired her for legitimate reasons, she deserves compensation for the harassment she endured.
Recent case: A friend of Eartha's recommended that she apply for a job at the municipal agency where the woman's husband worked. She got the job and found herself being supervised by the husband. It wasn't long before he began making passes at her.
First, the supervisor put his arm around her and tried to kiss the side of her head. She protested and said his behavior was unwanted. Later, he put his arm around Eartha's shoulder and she abruptly pushed him away. She said, "I have told you about this before, don't do that." She warned him to stop, saying, "You...(register to read more)

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed two of their four free agents.
Former New York Jets running back Chris Ivory and former Carolina Panthers punter Brad Nortman inked contracts with Jacksonville on Thursday, which was expected to be a busy signing day for the Jaguars.
Ivory, who ran for 1,070 yards and seven touchdowns last season, signed a five-year deal. He will complement second-year pro T.J. Yeldon. Nortman, who averaged 39.8 net yards a punt in 2015, signed a four-year deal.
More from FoxSports
General manager Dave Caldwell also has former Denver Broncos defensive lineman Malik Jackson and former Cleveland Browns safety Tashaun Gipson in town to sign free-agent deals. Jackson and Gipson are expected to be immediate starters for a defense in dire need of more playmakers.

This has been one of those weeks on the Christie beat when you wonder: Could he? Is he? Will he?
Several occurrences, taken together, could make the more gullible amongst us believe that the Garden State governor is on the verge of announcing his candidacy for the president of the United States:
- The speaking schedule. Yesterday, as I reported here, Christie hosted fellow not-running-for-president-Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels of Indiana, and the two offered some mild criticism of the current GOP field of presidential contenders. On Tuesday, Christie is scheduled to make a speech about "perspectives on leadership" at the GOP Holy Of Holies, aka The Reagan Library, in California. He's also scheduled to be in Missouri and Louisiana, campaigning and fundraising for the party.
- The alleged foreign policy dinners. A column in the Wall Street Journal says that Christie has been seeking advice and having dinner with foreign policy experts. Unless Trenton is invading Damascus some time soon, foreign policy experience isn't really needed in Christie's current day job.
- The new ad. A new $1.5 million pro-Christie ad campaign, sponsored at least in part by Christie's University of Delaware classmates, dropped this week and it looks/sounds/feels, as I wrote earlier this week, like a presidential campaign ad. The opening scene is of the capitol building -- in Washington.
- The prediction markets. A Yahoo article this week said the "prediction markets" have Christie at 4.7 percent chance of winning the nomination. That puts him in FOURTH PLACE among Republicans -- and he hasn't even campaigned for anything yet.
- The game plan. The Washington Post's conservative columnist, Jennifer Rubin, laid out a game plan (where did it come from?) for how Christie would announce his candidacy: "He announces at an event featuring former Florida governor Jeb Bush, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani. The GOP all-stars explain that they've gone on bended knee to the one person they think can unite the party, win in the general election and make the hard calls to return us to fiscal sanity and revive American prosperity. They all pledge to raise money and provide policy advice to Christie."
Of course, none of this means anything. He says he's not running. It just makes you go, hmmm...

New Penn Study: "America Invents Act of 2011" Likely to Cause Drop in Patents Issued to Small Inventors
On the eve of a historic vote in Congress that will fundamentally change U.S. patent law, a new study authored by professors David Abrams and R. Polk Wagner of the University of Pennsylvania Law School finds that a rule change moving away from the current "first-to-invent" system used in America for generations to the "first-to-file" system, universally used by foreign countries, is likely to result in a drop in patents requested by and issued to small and individual inventors.
While the upcoming vote on the Hill may see the broadest set of changes to American patent Law in two generations, perhaps surprisingly virtually no empirical analysis has been conducted on the impact of the primary components of the proposed reforms, which are deeply controversial. On the one hand, opponents of the "first-to-file" system, who favor how the current U.S. law operates, argue that proposed reforms disadvantage small inventors and will lead to lower quality patents. Those in favor of moving away from "first-to-invent" – notably the Obama administration – emphasize administrative simplicity and the cost savings of "first-to-file."
With their groundbreaking new study, Abrams and Wagner investigate the expected effects on patenting behavior of the major change in the so-called "America Invents Act of 2011" on which Congress will vote next week. The study authors looked to the experience of the last industrialized nation to switch from "first-to-invent" to "first-to-file" – Canada, which changed its law in 1989 – as a natural experiment to shed the first empirical light on the question.
Their analysis uses a "difference-in-difference framework" to estimate the impact of the change in Canadian law on that country's small inventors. A "difference-in-difference" analysis is a research design that controls for effects other than the priority rule change. In Abrams and Wagner's study, by comparing the observed differences in individual patenting behavior in Canada across the 1989 change in the law to differences in individual patenting behavior in the U.S. during the same time period, the authors were able to isolate the effect of the law change on individual patenting behavior in Canada.
Using data on all patents granted by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Abrams and Wagner find a significant drop in the fraction of patents granted to small inventors in Canada coincident with the implementation of the change over to the "first-to-file" law.
Abrams and Wagner note, however, that they found no measurable changes in patent quality. Moreover, they write, while "the net welfare impact that can be expected from a shift to first-to-file is unclear, our results do reveal that, contrary to conventional wisdom, the rule change is not free – it is likely to result in reduced patenting behavior by individual inventors."
As background, patent priority rules establish who among competing inventors has the right to receive a patent on an invention. At first blush, Abrams and Wagner point out, this seems a remarkably simple question: the first inventor should receive the patent grant. But the situation becomes much more complex when there are multiple inventors independently working in the same area of technology; only one can receive the patent grant. And while it is simple to establish a rule wherein the first inventor gets the patent rights, the question is, what act triggers the establishment of the rights? This, then, is the basic difference between the U.S. "first?to?invent" system and the "first-to-file" system used everywhere else in the world. According to current U.S. law, the first "inventor" is given the patent rights, while elsewhere the inventor who first files an application at the patent office will receive the rights.

The Cultural Centre Restaurant opened four months ago in the lower level of the blue-pagoda building in Chinatown. It's run by the same people who own U & Me Restaurant and the MBA BBQ Noodle House.
I've been there for lunch which left me less than impressed, and then I went back for a hot pot dinner which was great.
The lunch buffet ($10.95) is advertised as between 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. on weekdays, but when we arrived at about 11:15, we were told the buffet would not be ready for another 45 minutes. Not wanting to heave two babies plus car seats back up the stairs (we found out later there's an elevator), we sat down and ordered a few dim sum dishes.
We checked off what we wanted off a paper menu so that they're made fresh to order. This was both good and bad.
The piping hot shrimp dumplings ($4.08) and rice roll with BBQ pork ($4.78) were extremely fresh but they took a long time. Another dish never arrived, despite me asking three different servers over a span of 90 minutes.
By the time the buffet finally opened, it was swarmed by several Chinese seniors making it a new Olympic sport to heave as much food as possible into Styrofoam takeout containers. If Chinese seniors are afoot, you know there's a bargain to be had.
The buffet featured more than a dozen frequently replenished dishes which is always a good sign. I loved the crispy salt and pepper squid. The rest of it was pretty standard sweet and sour pork/Singapore noodles type fare.
A few days later, I returned for the all-you-can-eat hot pot ($18.95). Chinese hot pot is basically a broth that simmers at your table on a gas burner. Everyone cooks meat, seafood, and vegetables together in that pot. It's a particularly enjoyable meal in large groups, which is why there were so many families with kids around us.
We could pick two broth flavours out of half a dozen. None of us could read Chinese so we got the waiter to recite the options. We picked a satay soup and a parsley/thousand year duck egg soup. To be honest, I never think it makes a difference because by the end of the night, both soups taste similar.
The hot pot buffet was quite impressive in both quality and quantity. The raw ingredients were clearly labelled in Chinese and English. There was thinly sliced beef, lamb, chicken and pork, as well as a lot of seafood such as oysters, mussels, shrimp, squid and fish balls. Three different kinds of mushrooms, various Chinese greens and noodles were also available.
Everything was very, very fresh. Some hot pot buffets are terrible because the meat is dried out and has been sitting out for who knows how long.
There's also a table of condiments for you to make up your dipping sauce. This is based on your personal preference. I like to make a bowl of soy sauce, satay sauce, green onions, and XO hot sauce.
The hot pot buffet comes with your drink choice of pop, sugar cane juice or sour plum juice (酸梅汤).
Sour plum juice is a popular accompaniment to hot pot. I'm not sure why. The juice is smoky, sour and sweet. Jason hated it. I don't normally like it on its own but I drained my glass while eating hot pot.
The Cultural Centre Restaurant also offers a regular dinner menu. A table close to us ordered regular dishes and those looked very good.
Cultural Centre Restaurant, 197 First St. S.W., Calgary, (403) 457-0072. Open weekdays 10 a.m.-11 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m.-11 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m.-10 p.m.
Baby notes
Room for strollers: Yes
High chairs: Plastic white ones available.
Kids menu: No
Ambiance: Lots of noise, lights, TVs and fish tanks to distract kids. We had two babies melt down at our table and no one blinked.
Access: Elevator access through cultural centre entrance, otherwise you're carrying everything up/down the stairs from the restaurant entrance.

Regulatory Knowledge and Support
The Regulatory Knowledge and Support core develops best practices that break down institutional barriers, reduce investigator burden, facilitate collaborations and promote clinical and translational research. Using the resources of multiple programs centrally supported by the CCTST, the core provides institutional support and efficient and effective avenues for clinical researchers that facilitate regulatory compliance. Regulatory Knowledge and Support is led by Jane Strasser, PhD, Associate Vice President for Research and Director of the UC Office of Research Integrity (UCORI).
Regulatory Knowledge and Support highlights:
- Offers assistance with protocol development through the consultative services of a panel of designated specialists, IRB, IACUC, IBC, regulatory specialist, biostatistician, research methodologist, and/or clinical ethicist, depending on need. Assistance can be provided with data management, FDA filings, IRB applications and consent formulation.
- Working through the Greater Cincinnati Health Council, the CCTST has created the Consortium of Greater Cincinnati IRBs (CGCI) which is open to all IRBs in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. CGCI works to identify and promote best practices, develop commonly accepted forms, and increase reliance between member IRBs. The consortium is not a community-wide IRB but serves to promote communications among IRBs and to facilitate review of regional multi-site studies.
- Working together with the 2 other CTSA sites in Ohio (Columbus and Cleveland), the CCTST has established a statewide collaborative agreement allowing a single organization's IRB to assume responsibility for multi-site studies. The 3 CTSA institutions are at the vanguard of clinical and translational research, having taken the lead in eliminating redundancy while ensuring the protection of human research participants. Redundant review at each institution impedes multi-site clinical trials that are essential to developing new treatments and therapies to improve human health. Read more.

The India Office Records provide plenty of evidence of British activities in Chinese Turkestan (also known as Xinjiang) in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Map of Chinese Turkestan, 1878. © The British Library Board
Historical background
British policy in Chinese Turkestan (also known as Xinjiang Province) was an important element in the history of the Anglo-Russian "Great Game" in Central Asia. During the late 19th century, the geographical focus in the "Game" shifted away from Afghanistan and the North-West Frontier towards Tibet, China and Chinese Turkestan.
As Russia further advanced into Central Asia within the immediate proximity of Pamirs, the limits of Xinjiang on both sides of Kashmir and Russian frontier became increasingly important to British India. With the intention of counterbalancing Russian influence and to persuade the Chinese to push their outposts in the Pamir further west, the British Government sent a number of missions to the area to make contact with the local government. In 1874, an Anglo-Kashgarian commercial treaty was signed; it granted the British the freedom to trade with low duties in the region. In 1885, a second mission headed by Ney Elias, an official of the Foreign Department of the Government of India, went to Kashgar to negotiate a trade agreement with the Chinese Government. From 1890, the Government of India appointed an official resident to be stationed at Kashgar. Col Francis Younghusband was the first British Resident in Kashgar, and from 1891 George Macartney (no relation to the first Ambassador to China in 1793) replaced Younghusband and stayed there until his retirement at the end of the First World War.
British Residents at Kashgar: Younghusband (centre right) and Macartney (first left), 1891. [Mss Eur F197/674(1)] © The British Library Board
One of the most important duties of the British Political Resident at Kashgar was to send periodic news reports or fortnightly diaries, channelled through the Government of India, to London. The contents of these reports and diaries range from the Resident's daily dealings with the locals to political uprisings in the region. In the countries surrounding India's frontiers, there was little secret intelligence of a direct military kind to be acquired. What the British Government needed to know was mainly political - Russian movement in the region, local events, which tribes might be plotting to overthrow some ruler and what might be the effect on the border tribes.
The Political Resident at Kashgar, George Macartney, who was fully bilingual, managed to establish an amicable rapport with Chinese Taotai (a provincial administrator) as well as with the Russian Consul at Kashgar. Through his local contacts, he was well informed of political shifts and likely repercussions within or beyond the borders. In general, it could be said that, like every British Political Agent of that period, Macartney ran a local information or intelligence service, which Russians might have called a spy network, but it tended to be a very informal and parochial affair.
After Macartney's retirement, every two or three years a colleague of the Political Agent at Kashmir would arrive at Kashgar from Srinagar in Gilgit, to assume the post of Consul General, or return to Srinagar from Kashgar after leaving this post. Their job was to ensure that the Chinese kept a sufficiently clear sovereignty, to preclude Russian infiltration in this region. This was the main British objective.
Following the outbreak of the Chinese Revolution of 1911, Xinjiang experienced a period of chaos as the change of government took place. It was again affected by the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, when it looked as though many of the Russian Asiatic possessions would pass out of the control of Moscow. During this period, many parts of Central Asia were rife with Pan-Islamic movements coinciding with nationalistic sentiments. The Government of British India observed with keen interest the internal turmoil of the Central Asian republics. However, Xinjiang remains on the Chinese map to the present day.

The Community Heritage Centre and Mountsorrel station are both new-build and access for less-able visitors has been a major consideration during their planning. However, heritage railway vehicles, by their very nature, were built in less enlightened times when access was not designed for people with mobility issues. The Great Central Railway, which operates the trains on the railway, are constantly striving to improve access to their trains but, in the interim, some restrictions may apply. To assist you in getting the best access to the Heritage Centre, stations and trains we have shown below what you may expect from your visit and possible restrictions.
Parking your car and getting to the Heritage Centre or station platforms.
For blue-badge holders designated disabled parking spaces exist at both the Heritage Centre and Mountsorrel station. There is level access to the Heritage Centre and associated Granite's coffee shop at Nunckley Hill. However, to get to the trains and to the planned museum and exhibition building, in the base of Nunckley Quarry, you will need to descend down a bank. With this in mind a path has been incorporated into the design that has wheelchair user-friendly gradients.
Mountsorrel station is in a steep cutting. There is kerb-free access to the inclined ramp that leads down to the platform. The gradient of the ramp is 1:15 with regular level sections where wheelchair users (or their assistants!) can take a rest, if necessary.
Both of the paths mentioned above are of concrete or similar hard surface and should give a good surface for wheelchair-users.
The Heritage Centre
The Heritage Centre tells the story of both Mountsorrel's and Rothley's village history. Although the Heritage Centre will be partly 'new build', this will only be to unify elements of much older buildings that will be incorporated into the fabric of the new structure. Nevertheless, every care has been taken to make the centre as accessible as possible.
Exhibitions are over two floors at the Heritage Centre. The lower floor is on the level and the upper floor is accessible via a lift. There are no internal steps on either level.
The Heritage Centre site is accessible not only for those who are in wheelchairs, but also those with sight, hearing, learning and other physical difficulties. The Heritage Centre has a "Quiet Room" on the first floor accessible by lift, for the use of visitors who, through illness, infirmity or disability find it difficult to have a day out because it can be over-tiring. Our aim is to provide a comfortable room where these visitors can go to rest or administer their medication. The Centre will not be providing medical facilities.
Granite's coffee shop has wheelchair-friendly access. Tables are intended for use by all wheelchair users but this may not be possible for some larger, non-standard wheelchairs. If you encounter a problem, our friendly staff will make every effort to ensure you are looked after.
The Nunckley Trail
The trail is a half-mile path which passes by many ecologically interesting areas. There are illustrated notices around the trail that point out items of interest. Visually impaired visitors will find shorter messages in Braille at the bottom right-hand corner of the notice boards. There are tapping logs at the side of the path along the whole length of the trail.
The nature trail is wood bark and chippings and is, therefore, not an ideal surface for an independent wheelchair-using visitor to push on. We very much recommend that wheelchair users have an assistant to help them with this surface.
The path includes sensory and tactile areas, a discovery area for children and adults with special needs, wild flowers, shelters and seating, a willow tunnel and a picnic area.
Getting on the train
Both stations and trains carry portable ramps for safe access by wheelchair. If the stations are unmanned, assistance should be sought from the train staff.
Some trains have specific less-able accommodation, but not all. It is advised that a call to the Great Central Railway (01509 632323) should be made to enquire whether trains operating that day carry this facility. Ambulant disabled people should be able to access the rest of the train via ramped wheelchair access into the guards van. The heritage railway carriages have narrow aisles and corridors, so wheelchair access is not possible along the train.
Disabled toilets can be found at the Heritage Centre. There are no toilet facilities at Mountsorrel station.
Apart from the specific coach for disabled people, there are no disabled toilet facilities on trains.
Please take care when on or around our stations. The platform edge is picked out by a white line and there are tactile surfaces on the platforms. Station staff will be happy to assist if needed.
Group visits
We will be happy to accommodate parties of less-able visitors, but advance notice will be necessary to arrange parking, access and the necessary rolling stock. Please contact the Heritage Centre to initiate the necessary arrangements.

It's been three weeks since Wilma died and life moves on. I miss my girly girl every day, but am so grateful I have two puppies to help ease the pain. The funny thing is how the dogs are acting differently without Wilma to offer her discipline. Duke is a little more outrageous. When he gets spunky, he runs around and jumps on the furniture (which is NOT allowed) and makes way too much noise. That only lasts a few minutes before both pups are wiped out and they return to their normal bulldog positions:
What? I was here all the time. It must have been Otis. He started it.
What? I didn't do anything. I've been here all day. I'm the calm one, remember?
After a short spurt of rambunctiousness, both pups generally end up sharing one pouffe and sleep for about 95% of the day. It's not a bad life if you can get it.

Neil Young's Film Lounge – Interview with Peter Webber
A period film made by someone who hates period films: Peter Webber on Girl with a Pearl Earring
interview by Neil Young
British director Peter Webber was best known for TV documentaries, and dramas including Men Only (2001) and The Stretford Wives (2002), before his debut feature, Girl with a Pearl Earring started earing acclaim and serious Oscar talk on the worldwide film-festival circuit. Based on the best-selling novel by Tracy Chevalier and set in 1660s Holland, it's the story of how Vermeer (Colin Firth) painted his masterpiece Girl with a Pearl Earring, and stars Scarlett Johansson as Vermeer's housemaid-turned-model, Griet. I spoke with Webber at September 2003's San Sebastian Film Festival, where the film was in the Official Competition.
NY : I write for a magazine in Manchester.
PW : Manchester! I know it, yeh, because I shot a drama for the BBC up in Manchester.
NY : First question was going to be, do you have any connection with Manchester
PW : Oh well! Here we go… I will give you a hook, OK I made a film for the BBC called Stretford Wives in Manchester which starred Fay Ripley. You can cut out the embarrassing pauses as I try to remember who else was in it. Amongst other people.
NY : Where in Manchester?
Ohhhh! All the best places! We filmed in Salford. To research it I had to go to a karaoke pub in Miles Platting. Not many people who've done that and lived to tell the tale! Not many soft southerners.
NY : Did you sing?
PW : Oh yes, I was forced to sing. I thought I would lose my life if I didn't sing cause we turned up there, and they instantly knew Oh, yeah, who are these fuckers? I sang the only song which somebody like a terrible voice like mine can sing, which is Walk on the Wild Side by Lou Reed. But I was very very taken by the fact that you've got a bunch of some of the toughest guys I've ever seen in my life, all singing along do de-do de-do with me during the choruses.
NY : Intone rather than sing?
PW : Yes, of course. I'm not gonna do it now, but that's the good thing about that song, its like a rap or something, you don't have go "la la la." But I had a great time in Manchester, I really enjoyed working there… great local crews.
NY : When?
PW : This was two years ago? Literally I went from being one week in hideous dogshit-strewn back-alley in Salford (the art department would have to turn up in the morning and scrape up all the mess before you could go in there), you spend the day shooting with your hand over your face. A slightly – erm – grotty location, let's say. From there and two weeks later I found myself in the Mondrian Hotel in Los Angeles on Sunset Strip casting for this [Pearl Earring]. So I was like, "Oh my god, what happened?" Some fairy godmother came down. Having said that, listen, the last thing I'm saying is that Manchester is a dirty grimy shitty city, because we also filmed in the glistening modern heart of it, had a great time, worked with a really really good bunch of local actors as well apart from the main actors so, I love it, actually, had a great time, stayed in this kind of apartment block thing by the station. What's that great Chinese restaurant I would go in and eat every other day? Yang Sing… one of my favourite restaurants ever.
NY : That was your last project before this. And of course Karaoke… Bill Murray, Lost in Translation… Scarlett Johansson!
PW : Very good… there you go, you've got the whole article almost written for you! And when I was there, I would indeed buy City Life, and look to see what was on at the pictures over the weekends.
NY : Next time you can read the hatchet-job on Girl with a Pearl Earring. No, actually, Im reviewing the movie, so it'll be positive.
PW : Make sure you do then, sir!
NY : I must admit, I looked at the synopsis, read the reviews, and I was thinking "This may not be my cup of tea." But by the end I was clapping along with everybody else last night
PW : Good, good, good. It's funny because a lot of guys have said that to me. The hinterland of our audience, I think, is women. But if you stay with it, I really think it repays watching because… Well, I made it, I'm a guy I think, especially in that last half-hour it really builds to something… there's a lot of sexual tension there. And I think certain scenes like the lick your lips scene, and the ear-piercing scene
NY : I'd heard about the ear-piercing scene, but the lick your lips was the one that made the biggest impact I think.
PW : What I hope is that we manage, that Pathe manage, to find a way to market the film because, I agree with you! I don't know that I'd rush out to see this film, personally, just from reading a little synopsis. You'd think, its a boring period film about a painter
NY : Colin Firth dressed up in some sort of outfit, lusting after some girl
PW : But the thing is, you're in good hands here, because its a period film made by someone who hates period films. And that's why I think the film's been as successful as it has, it's because I was very rigorous, very strict with what I would allow us to do, and what I wouldn't allow us to do. Because I didn't want to make some kind of poncey, phoney, Sunday-evening-BBC drama.
NY : Is this why you got the job, do you think, because you werent going to deliver some chocolate-box movie.
PW : I hope so, I hope so. I tell you how it happened… funnily enough the films I'd made just before this were Stretford Wives — pretty grim and grimy, and at the end of that you've got Fay Ripley stabbing her husband to death, very gruesome scene. The one I did before that was Men Only for Channel 4, which was a rather brutal, nasty film about male sexuality. Andy [Paterson, producer] didn't really know my more sensitive side. But I'd worked with him, he was involved with a documentary company I made films for, we had another film, a very tough political thriller, which we couldn't get off the ground. One day I popped into his office to pick some stuff up, or meet someone, I can't remember, and there was a reproduction of this painting (Girl with a Pearl Earring) and I was just talking about the first time I'd seen it, because I studied History of Art at university and talking about that school trip. Unbeknownst to me, he came out of his office, because he'd heard me talking about it, and then he went back into his office to get the script, tapped me on the shoulder and said "Have a look at this."
NY : It had already gone from the novel into a script form?
PW : It had. I then, as all directors do, worked with the writer (Olivia Hetreed) in developing the script, to get it to do what I wanted it to do but, yeah, it was very much a commission, and he'd seen all sorts of completely unsuitable stuff, in a way, that people would never dream I think what he was doing was hiring someone with a sensibility which would not, as you say, deliver a chocolate box movie and it's very important to me that people understand that. That's why these kinds of interviews are really important, that people understand that its not necessarily what you think it is from whats on the tin — it's not what it says on the tin at all.
NY : It's got a bit of pace to it as well.
PW : Yeah, I worked really hard to do that I shot a lot more, I was very very ruthless in the edit suite.
NY : I checked before seeing it, saw it wasn't long because if its a period film, the shorter ones are the better ones. Once they get to three hours, youre like 'Oh God…'
PW : Yes well see I suspect, though, that Cold Mountain might be worth it at three hours when youre working at that epic scale.
NY : It's a big book. How big is this book?
PW : Its a thin book so, thin book : short film. Also, I get really pissed off I think a lot of directors are really self-indulgent bunch of fuckers! Because, the amount of time I leave the cinema with a sore arse and slightly bored, you think "If that film had been twenty minutes shorter, it would have been great." But how many people do it?! And I just didn't believe with this kind of story that the film couldn't detain the audience for too long. You know, so, I was really tough some of my favourite scenes and sequences, you have to wait until the DVD comes out
NY : These were things that were in the book, and you cut out?
PW : There's some stuff that was in the book, that was cut in the script, and there's some stuff that we filmed, and which I cut before the film hit the screen, so to speak.
NY : What does Tracy Chevalier [author of the novel] think of all these cuts?
PW : Well she, actually she saw the film for the first time three weeks ago and she said that she loved it, and she's got no reason to lie, you know, because she could just be very quiet and hide her head and not tell anyone. Its a difficult thing, that "Can you satisfy the author?" We've been very true to the spirit of the book, not to the letter of the book, but to the spirit.
NY : Its also about light, and painting with light and images, the camera obscura, things like that. To what extent How am I going to ask this without sounding daft? Eduardo Serra got a separate round of applause last night.
PW : Yes! Quite right too! Cause he's a fucking genius! He should get that.
NY : Did you say I want Serra or did they select him?
PW : Yes, I did. I wrote a list, my top-five favourite cinematographers. He was number one.
NY : Which of his films in particular?
PW : My favourite are the Patrice Leconte films that he's done like Hairdresser's Husband but I also know his work with Claude Chabrol. He knows how to use colour, he knows how to light – he's quick as well, that's the other thing. I tell you, for a director I tell you, I'm a first-time feature director, and you've got a lot of people looking over your shoulder making sure you stick to schedule, and he lights quickly and that gave me time to work with the actors. There's a lot of good cinematographers out there, not that many great ones, but a lot of them eat up all your time and you can't work with that
NY : And your background is in TV and documentary where you don't have time to spend hours
PW : You have no time! You have absolutely no time, and I think that's been good training. At the time, you think Jesus Christ, you expect me to work in these conditions. But if you can shoot a British TV drama with the schedules they give you these days, its kind of like… You know, there's a whole bunch of American directors who learnt through Roger Corman, that school of film-making, it's that kind of equivalent.
NY : Stephen Frears also came from TV, he works fast.
PW : Exactly. Exactly. We had to take particular care, because you're dealing with one of the great portrayers of light in painting. But, its important for me, to keep a sense of energy on the set and also, I've got a very short attention-span, I don't like doing too many takes, I don't like waiting too long either, so…
NY : The key part also is the casting, I thought the casting-director should have got a separate round of applause.
PW : (laughs)
NY : The eyes of the people in this film — I can't remember a film like it, you've got Cillian Murphy, Judy Parfitt, Essie Davis…
PW : Essie is great.
NY : I'd never seen her before.
PW : Id seen her on the stage. I agree with you, Leo [Davis] is a great great casting director, but what they do is they bring hundreds of people… I think if I've done nothing else on this film, I've hired right. I mean, that's really, if there's a secret, to what makes a good director — the difference between a good director and a bad director is the good director knows who to hire. Because if you hire right, then most of the job is done. But its not only down to ability, it's down to personality as well you need to hire people who can work together. As a first-time director, I could have hired a DoP (Director of Photography) who hijacked it and that's been known to happen beforehand. But Eduardo was a dream to work with. And my actors as well I tried to cast people with faces that would tell the story, because then we don't have to do it with words, and in telly you just get sick of words after a while.
NY : Judy Parfitt comes in, looking the way she looks, and you get the point very quickly!
PW : Exactly that's good cinematic storytelling, because you should do it with pictures.
NY : Weve got to talk about Scarlett Johansson
PW : How can you not!
NY : which I think is gonna be like, the big thing from this movie
PW : Have you seen Lost in Translation yet?
NY : Not yet.
PW : Rush out and see it!
NY : She's going to get a Supporting Actress nomination for that, and Lead Actress nomination for this
PW : I hope so. Nominations are good enough, so far as I'm concerned she is very young but she has its just out of the box this performance. It's absolutely incredible.
NY : And she was only 17!?
PW : Yeh, yeh. She had her eighteenth birthday on the set. At the end of the first weeks filming, because you think, my God, already, what a body of work. I didn't know The Horse Whisperer until after I'd made this film with her. But even, you know, the Coen brothers film Man Who Wasn't There. Ghost World In fact, shall I tell you what the first time I saw Scarlett Johansson [hard J] was in a cinema in Manchester — there's another connection!
NY : Which one? Cornerhouse?
PW : No. I tell you. Whats the one that's got the Henry J Beans in it?
NY : The new one, UCI.
PW : Exactly. That's where I went. Oh no actually, I tell a lie. It was the other way around. I went to see Harry Potter and I so didn't enjoy it that it put a bad taste in month, and so I had to go out either that night or another night and see another film, so I went to see Ghost World, so you check in the listings and see where it was on. I think it was in one of the newer multiplexes. And so I went to see that…
NY : You didn't know you were doing this film?
PW : No, no no no. But this was the first time Id come into contact with Scarlett's work. I didn't see the Coen brothers film until later. So I went on a day off to see Ghost World and my first encounter with her was on a wet and rainy Manchester afternoon, and that's when I first became aware of Scarlett Johansson: "She's great, I don't know her."
NY : Youve said she's an instinctive actress. I call it the Julianne Moore approach: just give me the text, doesn't agonise
PW : Colin [Firth] is the opposite, does tons of research, he's a southern middle-class boy, parents are academics: "Get out the books!" We trawled him round galleries, gave him painting lessons and all sorts of stuff. Scarlett, nothing she doesn't need any of that.
NY : Shes from California?
PW : New York, originally. Her parentage is: mum's side, Jewish family from outta the Bronx. Her dad is from Denmark. So interesting!
NY : She gets the pale blonde colouring from the dad's side
PW : Exactly. Shes incredible because once she gets it then that's it — you really don't have to do anything! You just we had a couple of long conversations at the beginning, just about, who this girl was, what she wanted, where she was going, what was what. But once Scarlett's internalised that stuff I thought, "Oh, she'll have to spend days learning how to scrub, do this, do the other" but not at all.
NY : Film in sequence, build up to the big moments?
PW : We did it as much as possible in sequence, which is not that much, if you see what I mean. We had to do all the exteriors at the end, so they're dotted all over in the film. We did all of the stuff in the house where she comes from originally, then we did downstairs in the Vermeer house so we worked up we did the studio later in the schedule, so it gave them some chance, but you can't, unfortunately, film entirely in sequence.
NY : Unless you're Terrence Malick.
PW : Exactly, unless you have shit-loads of money, as well! And so we did do the piercing scene and the lick-your-lips scene as late in the schedule as it was possible to do.
NY : And did you have to keep her out of the sun? Because she couldnt get much paler without being transparent…
PW : The thing is that most of the studio was done inside a studio, so you don't get much sun in there, and the rest of the stuff was on a back-lot in Luxembourg in the middle of winter, so you don't get much sun there either. It was minus fifteen most days, so keeping her out of the sun was not a problem!
NY : Its a nightmarishly difficult role, I think, because she has to react… I don't know how many lines she's got –
PW : Very few and even fewer by the time I'd finished with her!
NY : You said you didn't have to tell her a great deal but did you have to do a lot of takes, was there a particular look you were looking for?
PW : There were particular things I was looking for, but you know, that's part of the working-through: you've had conversations beforehand, you've had some kind of rehearsal, and then on the day, you spend, whatever it is, twenty minutes, half an hour, maybe an hour for some scenes, working with the actors, working out the movements… You're in there, and you're very very hands-on. But she would understand, in her gut, the emotion of the scene, or get it very quickly, after very few words. So I didn't have to beat the performance out of her, or anything. She is that talented. They both are… it's like I said about the hiring, you don't act for them, you help people do their job. You're like a conductor: you don't play the instruments, but you help them understand what they're playing.
NY : You see the bad notes, but you can't yourself produce the good notes
PW : Exactly I can't play the violin, I can't act. But I know what I like and I know what I want and I know to try and get it. Theres different ways to skin a cat some people you have to tell very clearly, very intellectually. Other people you just suggest… Some people you don't say anything to. Directing is about getting what you want, and as you know, in everyday life, you don't always get what you want, grabbing them by the shirt, pulling them up, and saying Oi! Sometimes you have to do it through manipulation, sometimes I'm not going to say too much, because it would give it all away. Different ways to skin a cat…
NY : "Don't let daylight in on the magic" as someone said about the royal family.
PW : No, no. I don't know how much magic there really is. The magic happens, I believe, when the film goes through the projector, and the light comes on behind it, and its up on the screen, that's when the magic happens. The rest of it, its a lot of hard work and you have get up too fucking early in the morning for my liking, as well I started as an editor used to get into the edit suite at ten o'clock. These days I have to get up at five o'clock to go to work, and that's no fun at all.
NY : It must be difficult to make a film about a great artist, because people may say, Hey, kid, you're no Vermeer! But on this film Eduardo Serra kind of is the Vermeer and I was going to say you're more like [Vermeers lecherous patron] Van Ruijven. Maybe not!
PW : I like to think I'm more of the Vermeer, and the studio are like Van Ruijven. It's a collaboration… it's very very difficult to make a film about an artist, there are so many pitfalls, so many cliches. I hope and believe that we have avoided those.
NY : Watch any others, like La Belle Noiseuse?
PW : That's exactly what I watched – you got it in one. I watched a whole lot of other stuff Dreyer, Ozu, I went back to the classics, always do. Watched Picnic at Hanging Rock, Peter Weir. But the one film that really informed me about the artist-and-model relationship was La Belle Noiseuse.
NY : I thought for a second you were going to say The Rebel with Tony Hancock!
PW : No, no thankfully not! I gave Belle Noiseuse to Colin to look at.
NY : Its four hours long, of course
PW : Oh yeah, much longer than four hours. But Jacques Rivette who, funnily enough –
NY : He's here [in San Sebastian]!
PW : He's here and I can't wait to meet him. I love La Belle Noiseuse, and I really love Celine and Julie Go Boating, that was one of my favourite films as a teenager, so I can't believe that my film is in competition against his! It's like Oh my God! I feel like some young kid who's suddenly joined Manchester United, you know.
NY : Everybody here loves Jacques Rivette, but everybody I've spoken to here reckons yours is the better novie
PW : Ahhh, well, that's very nice. But, hey, listen, we should all have such a long and wonderful career as Jacques Rivette.
NY : You must be over the moon with the way the film's being received.
PW : Of course!
NY : When you were making it, did you think, this'll get a little release, and might turn up on telly…
PW : Exactly that, and also towards the end, when I was finishing it in the cutting room, I thought "Oh my God, this might be an absolute disaster… what if no-one gets it? What if no-one likes what I like?" You can't tell how things are going to go down… It's quite singular this film, it does its own thing… I know the other films it's like, because I've studied other films, but I don't know that it's that like a lot of other contemporary period movies.
NY : Are you getting flooded with scripts now about artists and models
PW : I am going to do a film next about a teenage pickpocket in south London.
NY : With Scarlett?
PW : Not with Scarlett, no. She could do it, but no a complete cast of unknowns, and it'll be no-budget, back to basics, and I'll really love it, it'll be noisy and violent and everything that this film isn't. And every film that comes through my door about a painter immediately goes into the bin because until I've made another film why, why would I do it? Ive already done it.
NY : Remake The Rebel. Steve Coogan…
PW : Its funny you should say that, because a friend of mine, who wrote Men Only, is trying to write a film about Tony Hancock at the moment.
NY : And Steve Coogan will get the job, so therell be more Manchester connections!
PW : (laughs).

NEW BRUNSWICK – What started off as a wish fulfilled for one young person being treated for cancer has grown into a spectacular evening of pomp and pageantry for dozens of teen hematology/oncology patients. They won't soon forget their night at the prom.
Together, The Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ), Embrace Kids Foundation, the Beauty Foundation and Beauty Foundation Friends (BFF's), recently hosted the first-ever "Hem/Onc" Prom for teen survivors and youngsters receiving treatment at CINJ or its Flagship Hospital, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH) in New Brunswick. Dressed in the latest fashions, attendees aged 12 to 23 and their dates converged upon PSE&G Children's Specialized Hospital in New Brunswick for a special night of dinner and dancing. CINJ is a Center of Excellence of UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
The idea started last year when a young patient wanted to attend his prom, but was hospitalized and could not go. Nurses and other team members from CINJ, RWJUH and the Embrace Kids Foundation flew into action, quickly donning their own prom gowns, tiaras and tuxedos; decorating the patient's room; and providing music and food for a festive atmosphere.
"For all of us involved in putting it together, there wasn't a dry eye in the room, but for that youngster, it brought a smile so wide. We will never forget it," said CINJ Pediatric Assistant Nurse Manager, Dawn Yuhas, RN. "It was at that moment, we all knew that we could be bringing that same feeling to so many of our patients on a much larger scale, thus the Hem/Onc Prom was born," added RWJUH Child Life Specialist Emma Neely.
"There are many rites of passage for a young person, including attending one's prom. When undergoing cancer treatment though, teens sometimes miss out on these very important milestones," said Embrace Kids Executive Director Glenn Jenkins. "We are pleased to be a part of this collaborative effort to bring these youngsters such a memorable experience."
Jackie Ceraolo knows firsthand what it is like to miss such milestones. She is a founding member of BFF's – the teen division of the Beauty Foundation, which raises money for families fighting cancer. Now 15 and cancer free, she was diagnosed two years ago with a rare form of bone cancer called osteosarcoma. While she was undergoing treatment, her friends were preparing for eighth-grade graduation and all of the celebrations that went with it. She encouraged the involvement of BFF's because she wanted to make sure that other kids weren't 'missing out' on such an important time in their lives. "While an eighth-grade dance or the prom is just one night in the life of a teen, it could be the most meaningful thing to them at that moment. Every teen deserves to have that special night, and we at BFF's were happy to make some dreams come true."
The teens involved in BFF's even helped to provide prom attire for some attendees by collecting a few hundred donated dresses, suits and accessories in the weeks leading up to the event.
Jackie's mother Lori Ceraolo is on the Board of Directors for the Beauty Foundation, which helped secure donations of prizes and entertainment for the evening. "In caring for a child with cancer, their emotional well-being is just as important as their treatment needs. By holding this event, these kids had a chance to do exactly what their peers are doing while being in a comfortable and familiar environment. Without the generosity of the community and the dedication of the professionals who care for these kids, this event would not have been a success," she said.
Along with prizes, DJ entertainment, and an opportunity to have prom portraits taken, attendees had the fun of seeing their nurses, doctors and other care professionals decked out as part of the prom court.

Place the olives, garlic, capers, anchovies and lemon zest in food processor. Process until well mixed together. Stop machine and scrape down ingredients. Turn back on and drizzle in olive oil until a paste is formed. You should add enough oil to bind the mixture, but not too much so as to make it oily. Taste for seasoning. Add the lemon juice and process for a few more seconds. You might want to balance it with additional garlic, capers or anchovy, if desired. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Gently loosen the skin of the chicken breasts, without removing it. Place the tapenade in a pastry bag or plastic bag with a corner snipped off, and squeeze about 1to 2 tablespoons of mixture under the skin of the chicken. Use your fingers to even it out under the skin. Heat the 2 to 3 tablespoons of pure olive oil in a non-stick saute pan over medium heat. When pan is hot, place the chicken breasts in, skin side down. Saute until golden brown. Turn them over and cook for no more than 1 minute. Remove to baking dish and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place chicken breasts in oven and finish baking until tender and cooked, approximately 15 minutes. Remove the breasts from oven and let cool to room temperature before refrigerating. May be ser

HAPPISBURGH, England, April 22 (UPI) -- A new study published in PLOS ONE details the oldest human footprints found outside of Africa.
Found and studied by archaeologists from the British Museum, the footprints are estimated to be anywhere from 780,000 to one million years old.
The footprints were discovered pressed into estuary mudflats along the coast of Happisburgh, England, a small village in low-lying Norfolk county. Happisburgh had previously been identified as one of the earliest sites of human activity outside of Africa, when ancient flint tools were discovered there in 2010.
The newly-discovered footprints became visible as a result of coastal erosion, the mudflats revealed, as the beach's sand became washed away by waves and current.
First spotted in May 2013, scientists had to act quickly to document the prints before time and stormy seas washed away human history.
Based on detailed analysis of the footprints, scientists believe impressions were left by a party of five -- men, women and children -- as they strolled the riverbanks. Although archaeologists have no human remains on which to conduct DNA testing, they estimate the prints were left by Homo antecessor, or "Pioneer Man," a species with a slightly smaller brain than modern humans, but one that walked upright on two feet.
"We actually know very little else about the people who left these prints," explained researcher Nicholas Ashton, "but from the plant and animal remains at Happisburgh we know that they were able to survive winters colder than today."
"We're still asking questions of whether they had clothing and shelter or controlled the use of fire," Ashton added.

CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - November 12, 2009) - The Options Industry Council (OIC) announced
today its winter/spring schedule of equity options seminars for investors
and financial advisors. Seminars focusing on basic, intermediate, and
advanced options topics such as volatility will be offered at select
locations across the US. Additional intermediate and volatility seminars
have been added this year for investors seeking advanced education.
OIC's focus is educating investors on the responsible use of options in
various market environments. With the volatile market conditions of the
past year, investors have found options education particularly valuable.
Options trading has maintained strong levels during the financial crisis,
showing the maturity of the market participants and flexibility of the
options product.
The winter/spring schedule will offer a total 36 seminars from January 26
to May 26. These free educational seminars are taught in a classroom-style
arrangement by experienced instructors from the various options exchanges
and OIC professionals. Registration is required.
Those interested in attending can obtain a detailed schedule (including
dates and locations) and also register via OIC's website
http://www.optionseducation.org/seminars/default.jsp or by calling
Course descriptions:
Basic: Getting Started with Options
This seminar focuses on options fundamentals for the novice options
investor. An options professional will cover essential concepts and terms
of options contracts as well as their risk/reward characteristics.
Attendees will learn about buying and selling calls and puts, how to work
with an expected up or down movement in a stock's price with limited risk,
and how to revive a stock already owned that doesn't seem to be going
anywhere. Options questions will get straightforward answers. A basic
knowledge of stocks, and some experience with stock investing, is
Intermediate: Managing Your Portfolio with Options
This seminar extends beyond the fundamentals of buying or selling calls and
puts. After a review of basic concepts, an options professional will guide
the classroom into the world of spread strategies including vertical
spreads and time spreads. This class will demonstrate how truly flexible
options are, and how these limited risk spreads might fit into even the
most conservative portfolios. Participants will learn about straddles and
strangles, and the nature of volatility. They will also learn about ways
to repair existing stock positions. An understanding of the basics, as
well as limited experience trading options is recommended.
Volatility: Measuring Volatility and Understanding Its Significance
OIC's Volatility seminar begins where the Basic and Intermediate seminars
left off. In this seminar, an options professional will cut through the
complexities of volatility and clarify any misconceptions about this
important topic. Investors will learn how volatility is measured, what that
measurement means, and why it is a factor in an option's price. Investors
will gain an understanding of implied volatility and its impact on various
options strategies. A solid understanding of option fundamentals,
comprehension for options pricing, and experience with both buying and
selling options are recommended.

Two former prime ministers who helped establish the Liberal party's economic credibility are now hoping to undermine Stephen Harper's.
Paul Martin and Jean Chretien are wading into the election campaign to try to scuttle the notion that the Conservative leader is the most qualified helmsman to steer through stormy economic waters.
That notion is supported by polls and Harper has tried to build on that strength in every speech he makes by drawing attention to Canada's relatively strong performance compared to other G8 countries.
The Liberals hope to undermine his case by trotting out two ex-prime ministers who _ unlike Harper _ actually turned a deficit into a surplus and led during a period of economic calm.
"We don't have to burnish our fiscal credentials. Our fiscal credentials are a matter of historical fact and common historical memory to Canadian citizens," Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff said Saturday.
Martin is joining the Ignatieff campaign at an event Saturday night.
The ex-PM has already delivered a speech seeking to remind voters that Harper made two wildly inaccurate economic predections in the last election: that there would be no deficit and no recession.
Martin says the country already was in a deficit and a recession, when Harper was making those claims.
The Conservatives call the reappearance of two old leaders a sign of Ignatieff's desperation in the face of polls showing the Liberals trailing.
The Tories have also taken shots at the method in which their rivals balanced the budget in the 1990s _ reducing health and social transfers to the provinces.
The prime minister attacked the Liberal track record of slashing health spending during a campaign stop in B.C.
The Tories insist they can eliminate the deficit with more modest cuts and by relying on increased revenues from economic growth. They dismiss suggestions that their platform contains a fiscal hole and that the deficit is a long-term structural problem. The Conservatives have not detailed how and where they plan to make the $4 billion in cuts they say are coming.
Those planned cuts haven't stopped the government from offering pay raises to political staff.
The prime minister was asked Saturday about bonuses for ministerial staffers which, in one case, drove up an employee's annual salary by $35,000 _ to $190,000.
The Tories have also approved new rules that would allow pay raises for employees, in addition to 50 per cent more separation pay on top of severance packages.
Harper defended the move at a news conference. He noted that the new Treasury Board guidelines will simply tie political staffers' pay to salaries in the civil service, which are in line for an increase.
"The pay raises we're talking about are pay raises across the board," Harper said. "They're not for political staffers. These are government employee pay raises and our political staffers are simply tied to those."
He noted that that, despite individual raises, the overall budgets for ministers' offices will be cut 11 per cent.
A document obtained by The Canadian Press, however, explains that some of the savings being touted will actually be achieved through changes in accounting.
NDP Leader Jack Layton is in St. John's, N.L., while the Bloc's Gilles Duceppe spends most of the day in the Quebec City area.
Layton joined the other federal leaders Saturday in backing the multibillion-dollar Lower Churchill hydroelectric project.
The NDP would back a loan guarantee for project, he said. The project would transfer hydroelectricity from mainland Labrador to Newfoundland and elsewhere in Atlantic Canada.
Both Harper and Ignatieff have already promised some sort of support for the Lower Churchill. The project is popular in the province and the NDP hopes backing it will win them votes.
The New Democrats hold just one seat in the province, St. John's East. Jack Harris won easily by a margin of some 26,000 votes.

To My Best Friend
My friend, don't you know?
My friend, can't you see?
Why don't you notice
What you're doing to me?
I watch you laugh,
I watch you have fun
And I can't help but feel
That our friendship is done.
You have your private jokes
You have a new friend
And your past life with me
Has come to an end.
You sit together in class
Passing notes back and forth.
The ball with me's over
It's out of my court.
It should be me there
Having fun joking with you
Like we did last year
And the year before too.
I should be your best friend
Sitting with you in class
Not her with her newness
Over me your eyes pass.
Why can't you notice?
Why can't you see?
That the things that you're doing
Are so painful to me?
I almost can't bear it
I sit down and cry
As I watch you with her
Walking, passing me by.
Each day it comes
Upon me again.
All I want now
Is you back as a friend.
Do you care? Can you see?
How could you right now?
You're always with her
Go on, take a bow.
If that's what you wanted,
Congrats, you've succeeded.
My heart is in shambles
Since I'm no longer needed.
But still, I would never
Wish this feeling on you.
However angry I am,
That's not what I do.
Even though you have pained me
And are never around,
You are still my best friend
To you I am bound.

One of the best, if not THE BEST I have had in long time. Why:
-- Perect temperature -- cool & crisp
-- Clearly made seconds earlier
-- Nice portion size / reasonably priced
-- Fresh fresh beef
-- Well seasoned (i.e. salty but perfect)
-- onions perfectly diced inside
-- Accompained by buttered toasted french bread..mmm...
Comme Ca is a winner - I am sorry I waited this long to go.
And to put the price into perspective...
$14 for this tasty dish - could have feed the ENTIRE table (but I ate it all - hehehe)
$14 for typical SMALL PLATE of whatever (scallops, or mozerella- I aready forgot) at Ramsay's new digs - couldn't even FILL ME up.
