Stunt Legend Vic Armstrong Reflects on Career, Turning Chris Pine Into 'Jack Ryan'
Before Chris Pine could throw his first punch as Jack Ryan in director Kenneth Branagh's Shadow Recruit, he had to learn how to do it as if he'd never thrown one before. And there's no one better to teach him than Vic Armstrong, the legendary stuntman and stunt coordinator who's long fought the on-screen fights for one of the actor's predecessors: Harrison Ford.
Armstrong is a near-mythic figure in the world of Hollywood stunt work: Filling in for Ford, he cracked the whip and crashed through windows in each of the Indiana Jones films, and stepped in for the veteran actor in Blade Runner, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and other iconic films. He's also soared through the sky in place of Christopher Reeve as Superman and doubled for Sean Connery as 007. Today, at 67, Armstrong is one of the industry's most sought-after stunt coordinators, having concocted the death-defying feats that made the likes of Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie and Will Smith action heroes of the highest order.
In Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, which turned back the clock on Tom Clancy's popular character, Armstrong was tasked by his longtime collaborator Branagh with transforming Pine into an unskilled fighter still able to thrillingly prevail against desperate odds. As the film makes its Blu-Ray/DVD debut this week, Armstrong declassified some of Jack Ryan's secrets for SPINOFF.
Spinoff Online: So you actually doubled for Harrison Ford on some of the earlier Jack Ryan films of the 1990s, correct?
Vic Armstrong: A little bit, yeah. Mainly my big work with Harrison was on the Indys, of course, and another one we did in Paris, yes – I've done so many [laughs]. I've done a little bit on them, but this was my first real foray in the Jack Ryan films and the whole stylization of it all.
Tell me about what were the challenges for you working on this one, and how have things changed since they were making them 25 years ago?
Yeah, for me, the fun part and the most exciting part was the working with Ken Branagh again. I think he's a great director, and we go way back to Henry V and Thor and things like that. We get on really, really well together, and trust each other's judgments completely, so it's real good to work with him. And we sat down, we really dissected what Jack Ryan's character would be, how he would fight, stylization, and we decided he's a kid out of university: he has no special skill training; he's not a trained killer, as it were, being trained by the feds or anything like that. We thought, "Well, he could ride a motorcycle." Just about any guy can ride a motorcycle – when you drive down a freeway, they're whizzing in and out, so we thought, "Oh, OK, you can have that as a normal person, but no sort of action, fighting, killing, murder." Whatever he does in his fighting style is purely out of desperation and survival. Some primal instinct just kicks in trying to survive, just to make him try and survive best as he can with swimming when he gets stuck in a whirlpool or whatever. So we stylized it like that, and then we decided we'd try and shoot as much as we could in real, real action. So all the breakaways were there, the fight was there, where he smashes [the large assassin's] head on the bidet – and we had to get one of those that was the right texture that didn't look too easy to break at the same time, to knock him out – and that was part of the game plan. If a big man went down, we all know how hard that porcelain is, you've whacked a knee on one, and he slipped on the wet board, it would hurt, so everybody could relate to smacking his head and knocking the sense out of him. So giving Jack a bit of an edge again when he goes into the bath, he flips and he goes upside down, and then, of course, Jack uses most of the big guy's weight against him and holds him underwater – things like that. And really we're going back to the old days: That's how we would have done it 20 years ago as well. So it's a nice change to be able to do it like that and not have some unbelievable sort of movements or whatever that's been computer-enhanced, because there's no need for it in this one.
With well over a 100 film credits as a stunt player and coordinator, where does inspiration come from now? Do you still find yourself quickly coming up with fresh, stunt scenarios that you can't wait to put together?
I like to read the script, and when I read something, I suddenly get a picture in my head. I can see things, and then I start looking around for locations for it to happen in. And the locations speak to me, and they give me ideas and things like that. Everything is sort of spontaneous, but also organic. And it's born by the script. Therefore, you have a certain original to – each script has its own originality. […] I just like to look at each one as the first time I've ever done it and, "Wow, what would be exciting in this location? What's the location telling me what to do?" And I just get inspiration like that.
At this stage of your career, how often do stunts come around where you really want to put your stuntman hat on and do it yourself? Is it still fairly frequently?
No, not at all! I've got four children that do it, I've got a brother that does it and I've got two nephews that do it. And when I shot Green Hornet, it's terrifying – my youngest son did a head-on in a pickup truck to the front of a bus that never stops and is on fire. And it's nerve wracking [laughs], so I wouldn't want to do it and I wish they weren't doing it! But you still get a kick out of it when it turns out well. But it's nerve wracking, yeah.
With your contribution to so many landmark films in the action genre, essentially playing characters like Indiana Jones, Superman and James Bond in their action sequences, are those the types of things you were a big fan of to begin with? Were you living out a dream to stage stunts for these characters, or was it a job that you just had a very special aptitude for?
A hundred percent, I always loved that sort of movie. It was a dream when I was a kid, and at 8 or 9 years old, I galloped along on my pony and playing cowboys and Indians on my own. I loved that sort of thing. I love that genre, and I was lucky enough to hit my peak when that genre came out again. It's been around before, on the Saturday-morning specials and all that sort of thing, and the John Wayne days and the John Ford days. But I was lucky enough to be at my peak – my physical peak and popular employment peak, if you like – when they became popular again, from Superman to Bond to Indiana Jones. They're three wonderful genres that I happened to be in the right place at the right time for, and I just picked the subject up. It was just absolutely what I wanted. With Indiana Jones, I couldn't be more happy: I loved the clothes, I loved the period, I loved the action with the rightful blend of humor. Real stunts, enhanced stunts a little bit with computers – not very, very much at all. I think it's a perfect way to make movies. I did that with Jack Ryan: As Indiana Jones was, he's a professor – obviously, you stretch it a bit more with Indiana Jones, but Jack Ryan was this guy out of college, and everything happens around him. And he does the right thing at the right time, and you get out of it with barely any training. And I love that sort of movie action.
You've worked with so many terrific actors over the years. Did you get to give Chris Pine a chance to test how far he could go, stunt-wise?
Well, a hundred percent Chris did everything there. We had stunt doubles during driving and things, but Chris did the fights. He was an absolute trooper, and he came on the show full of admiration for me, because he knew of me from everything else, and he was absolutely wonderful to work with. He'd hardly ridden a motorbike before, so I said, "Look, you have to be serious about this …" I put Lee Morrison on as his stunt double – he did all that stuff on the last Bond on the rooftops, jumped over the rooftops in Turkey and jumped through the window – and he's an excellent motorcyclist. Lee taught him in England, and then Chris had to go back to the States so I set up a training regime at Dodger Stadium with my brother and Gary Davis – who funnily enough, doubled Chris Pine's dad [Robert Pine] in CHiPs, so it's quite a full circle! But he stuck to it, and he went out and he trained every day with absolute professionals, and that's why we could let him loose roaring in New York without a helmet on – which is a hell of a risk, you know: it was one of the first single shot of the movie. It's like, "OK, put all your eggs in one basket and try not to drop it!" And the fight scenes were great. He rehearsed, and he worked it out. He even cracked a bone in the tip of his finger during one of the fights because he threw a punch and strained his finger. I heard a crack and he screamed and went down; a few second later he got up, finished the night's work and went to hospital and had an X ray, came back and said "Vic, you're going to find this funny: I was so pleased when they said 'You've broken your finger,' because I knew you'd think I was a wimp if I'd just sprained it." And he came back and carried on the next day. He's absolute a real good guy. I've got more than admiration for him. He was fantastic.
Your directing career is also kicking into high gear. Fill us in on what's happening with your directorial projects.
Yeah, I'm having a great time. We're just finishing post [production] on Left Behind with Nicolas Cage, which is going to be a great movie, I think. It comes out October the third. It's based on the books – it's sold 65 million copies, so it's got quite a few followers [laughs]! So I think it's going to turn a few heads. It's a really nice story, and it has a religious undertone to it, but it's a good crossover movie because the story carries. And I'm starting this Friday on a film in Atlanta called Sunday Horse, which is a work of passion for me because it's about a young girl who's a good rider, but she doesn't have the money to buy the championship horses. And she gets a mentor who talks her in to buying a good, cheap horse, and she in fact buys two, and she qualifies, and one of them wins the double gold in the Olympics – the only time it's ever been done, and she was named female athlete of the Olympics – and the other one goes on to win the American championships, so it's based on a true story. I've got William Shatner and Ving Rhames and Linda Hamilton – I've got a great cast. Not a huge budget, but again, it's a great story. And I'm trying to pick movies for that reason alone.

The guy looks more like an Abercrombie model than an actor, probably because he used to be an Abercrombie model.
In interviews, his laugh frequently turns into a giggle, like he's unconcerned about possessing the protective coating of his more guarded, seasoned Hollywood cohorts.
Not only has he worked as a stripper, but he has a sense of humor about it (check his endearing, funny turn on "Saturday Night Live") and has turned his experiences into one of this summer's most anticipated movies, Steven Soderbergh's "Magic Mike."

Part 3, Chapters 6-10 Summary
Jericho was also a city that was flooded with refugees. Many crossed into Jordan and didn't return. While Ibrahim was there, he learned that the Egyptian army was in retreat and that a second truce was in effect. Ibrahim knew there was no hope for an Arab victory and that Abdullah would keep what he had gained without attacking. This meant that Tabah would be a part of Israel.
After delivering the supplies to the cave, Ibrahim and Sabri departed for Jerusalem to sell the truck. They received three hundred British pounds for the truck. Ibrahim gives Sabri five pounds and tells him to have a good time in the city. They will meet again in the morning. Ibrahim then went to Latrun, using the forged documents and demanded to be allowed to go to the roof so he...

Kanye West Was a Surprisingly Funny Graduation Speaker
He complimented President Bush's painting.
Kanye West got an honorary degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago today, sort of fulfilling the promise he made back in "Hey Mama." In his short speech to the graduating class, West adhered to the No. 1 rule of college graduation speakers: Be funny! Commencement ceremonies are often very long and uncomfortably hot, and Mom and Dad have driven such a long way — the best thing you can do is break up the monotony with a few zingers. The best one? An expertly timed "George Bush ... has some very cool self-portraits." His (captive) audience loved it!
If you want actual insight, turn to Kanye's hour-long Q&A at the Art Institute Sunday night. As Kanye interviews go, this one is intimate and thoughtful in the Zane Lowe style. Listen to the whole thing below:
That occasion was also Kanye's chance to show off his fully meme-able self, as displayed in the tweet below. He really does love to smile!

Kean Battles Past Trinity, 8-5
May 23, 2009
Grand Chute, Wis. - The Cougars took advantage of six Bantam errors to take game one of the NCAA Division III World Series, 8-5, Friday afternoon at Fox Cities Stadium.
Today's game pitted the previous two national champions as Kean claimed the crown in 2007 and Trinity (Conn.) just a year ago. With the victory KU improves to 39-9 while Trinity falls to 33-6.
Trinity scored the game's first run in the bottom of the first, taking advantage of a Cougar miscue. Kean quickly tied things up in their next at-bat as senior catcher Mike Manganiello (Berkeley Heights, N.J.) recorded a bases-loaded groundout to score freshman Dylan Laguna (Edison, N.J.) who led off the inning with a walk. The Cougars added two more in the top of the third as freshman D.J. Breckenridge (Fair Haven, N.J.) reached on an error. After stealing both second and third, he crossed the plate on an RBI fielder's choice by freshman Ryan Gibbons (Glen Rock, N.J.). Gibbons would later come around and score on a double steal.
After trading runs in the sixth, KU tacked on two more for a 6-2 lead in the seventh. Shortstop Dave Zavistoski (Edison, N.J.) started the inning with a double down the leftfield line. He would score after an RBI single by Breckenridge, who found his way to third base on the throw to the plate as well as another Bantam error. Breckenridge scored on an RBI single by freshman Vinny Galya (Old Bridge, N.J.).
Trinity rallied in the seventh and pulled within one (6-5) thanks to three walks by the Cougar staff. With the bases loaded and two outs, Trinity came across with their first run on a wild pitch. Outfielder James Wood (Windham, N.H.) then drove in two with a single up the middle.
Kean sealed the win with insurance runs in the eighth and ninth to grab the victory.
Senior Pedro Rivera (Elizabeth, N.J.) earned the win. Rivera (5-0) tossed six plus innings allowing four runs, three earned, with five hits and five strikeouts. Senior Brandon Aich (Sayreville, N.J.) picked up his 11th save of the year after three innings of work. He allowed one run and two hits.
The Cougars handed senior Jeremiah Bayer (Greenfield, Mass.) his first loss of the year. Bayer (12-1) threw eight and a third innings allowing eight runs, four earned, with five walks and five strikeouts.
Offensively Gibbons and Manganiello each recorded two RBI on the afternoon.
Kean advances to take on The College of Wooster on Saturday, May 23rd at 4:30 p.m. local time. Wooster defeated Carthage College, 8-1, earlier in the day.

Mr. Herriman is a man-sized rabbit friend who wears a top hat, a monocle, a tuxedo coat, white gloves, a bow-tie, a yellow vest, and a mustache while speaking in an English accent in a personification of the Edwardian era. He is the head of the house and runs things for Madame Foster, his creator. He is the oldest friend in the house, which is something he is quite sensitive about. He is named for Krazy Kat creator George Herriman, with a pun on "hare."
He stands six feet tall (seven feet with his top hat on) and weighing in at 210 pounds. Quite the opposite of his carefree and calm-tempered creator Madame Foster, Mr. Herriman is a stickler for rules, having made many silly and impractical rules in an attempt to keep everything "running smoothly," to the point of being ridiculous. He usually refers to others in a proper manner, calling males "Master" and females "Miss" in front of their names, the only time he actually calls people in normal fashion is when he is in pure terror. He is shown to have an addiction to carrots (which he will go to great, even desperate, lengths to hide), despite his best attempts to ignore or get over the weakness. He is phobic of dogs and is easily sent into a panic whenever he comes across a dog or anything dog related because dogs are natural predators of rabbits. Because of this, he made a rule that no dogs are allowed in the home.
He is frequently called a badger by Goo, throughout the show until the episode "Bus the Two of Us."
Mr. Herriman, though proper, has often shown a lack of social skills. His ways of being proper are to the point to where the other imaginary friends cannot stand him or being around him, his ways of keeping things "running just the right way" often inconveniences the other characters to the point of being disrespectful. Frankie has a strong disliking towards Mr. Herriman, due to his constant lack of consideration towards her and often talks her down, whether he is aware of it or not. At the end of "Destination Imagination," however, he realizes his poor judgement towards her after witnessing how she handled World, even putting forth an agreement to have the other friends help her around the house. He has a strong disliking for Bloo, due to his chaotic nature and constant rule breaking.
Although Mr. Herriman is a strong stickler for the rules, he is often over-ruled by his creator Madame Foster. Despite the fact that they often disagree on things (rules mostly), Herriman and Madame Foster have an unquestionably loving relationship, and at times Herriman will appease his creator much in the way that he did when Madame Foster was a little girl (such performing his 'Funny Bunny' dance and song for her when in private). He is also very protective of Madame Foster, to where even she tells him to relax. Mr. Herriman was featured in Cartoon Network's comic series based on the show, hallucinating Madame Foster as a little girl after getting high on cleaning solvents in the "Ill Will" issue. Herriman recalls in the issue how, as a young child, Madame Foster spilled something over and when questioned by her parents, she blamed him, so he claims that incident as being his reason for obsessing over cleaning, rules and manners, to avoid getting in trouble again.
Mr. Herriman is very passionate about his job as the house president, taking the job seriously, as he's stated that being the president of the house makes him feel like he is needed and important to the Foster community. Herriman is surprisingly old fashioned, even believing that the internet is an actual net. It is believed that Madame Foster created him during the 1930s, making him believe the 2000s are still running in the old-fashioned ways of living.
Mr. Herriman is comparable to Captain Peacock from the British TV sit-com Are You Being Served? mainly his being a stickler for rules, similar accent and upper crust attitude. This was derailed in the episode "Let Your Hare Down," when his alter ego, a hippie type called "Harry" had no regard for rules until William Collector came and he became his old self again.
Similarities to the Mayor of Townsville
Mr. Herriman and the Mayor of Townsville in The Powerpuff Girls (Craig McCracken's other original cartoon) have several similarities:
- They both wear black top hats and waistcoats.
- They both have a monocle over their left eye, although Mr. Herriman's monocle has been switched between his left and right eye often many times, such as in "Hiccy Burp," where it changes three times in one scene alone. He does, however, seem not to be able to see very well without it.
- They both have a white mustache which moves as they speak.
- Both usually have their eyes closed (though awake).
- Both have an unhealthy obsession over a certain food (carrots and pickles respectively).
- Aside from Mr. Herriman's similarities to the Mayor of Townsville, his voice actor, Tom Kane, is also known for providing voicework to The Powerpuff Girls, namely Professor Utonium and Him.
- He actually has secret immature behavior, like lying in Berry Scary and especially in Crime After Crime where he punishes everybody without a good reason because the places the imaginary friends are in have the carrots he hid.
- While Mr. Herriman can keep things going smoothly, he seems to be unable to do the work himself as seen in Destination Imagination.
- He has a habit of forgetting to mention one small key detail as seen in "Goodbye to Bloo". This was also explored as well during the events of "The Big Cheese". Where he literally thinks choosing a code a random is not looking at the numbers and typing it.
- It is possible that Mr. Herriman was named after George Herriman the famous cartoonist.
- His golden trading card statistics from the Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends Leapster game are:
- Likes to be scratched behind the ears. But ONLY by Madame Foster.
- Is not a very funny bunny.
- Dreams of when Bloo will leave the house.
- Is the oldest friend in the house.

Lemme be real here. This month has been rough for me. Between work (and my heinous, traffic-filled commute), my LDR, and barely having enough time to breathe at home, makeup has sadly fallen to the wayside. I simply haven't had time in the mornings to sit and do a 10 minute eye look, so this month I've been getting most of my color from cheek and lip products, things that I usually neglect in favor of eye products. However, this month did inspire me to reach for some blushes and lip products that I haven't always loved, but have really fallen for these past few weeks. This is probably going to be a long post because I'm ramble-y and haven't had much human interaction outside of work recently, so forgive me, okay? Thaaaanks, I knew you would!
Bobbi Brown Blush in Nectar
I've had this blush forever and a day. It has to be at least four years old, because that's around when Bobbi Brown moved from the round packaging to square. I pulled it out on a whim sometime early this month and BAM, this is exactly what I needed. It's very pigmented, and a little goes a long way, but it adds a great pop of color to my fair skin. The thing I was most impressed with was the staying power - even after a full 14 hours, my cheeks still had bright color and there was no noticable fading or oxidation. (My boyfriend even noticed how rosy my cheeks were over Skype and my dismal webcam!)
NARS Blush in Deep Throat
I'm apparently really loving the pretty pinks this month because I kept reaching for this. This just adds a really pretty shimmer and light pink glow to my cheeks. I just pop a bit on the apples of my cheeks with a MAC 116 and I'm good to go.
Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer
I've worn and loved the Bobbi Brown Corrector for years, and finally decided to buy the concealer. I found it to be... meh. I had trouble working with it. I was ready to give up on it, but I persevered. My skin flipped out on me for a week or two this month, and I decided to try the thicker formula on some narly blemishes I had. I was super impressed with the coverage and staying power of the concealer. I may never love this for under the eyes or for redness around my nose and chin, but this works great on my skin to really hide zits.
Tarte BB Cream
I have never tried a BB cream before, so I have no idea how this compares to what a BB cream should be. What I do know: this stuff is amazing. It offers light to possibly medium coverage. It smooths on like liquid silk and blends flawlessly. It feels fantastic on my skin - not like foundation or makeup at all. It doesn't highlight flakiness (a major problem with foundations on me in the dry winter months) and improves my skin's texture in a way I didn't think a face makeup could. It doesn't wear off throughout the day. Be still, my heart. I got this sample from a recent Sephora purchase and I'm definitely going to be buying a full sized tube when I'm done with this.
Stila Eye Shadow in Kitten
I know, I know. Everyone owns this. Everyone wears it. But I'm here to tell you it is exactly as amazing as everyone claims it is. I usually just use this as an inner corner highlight, but this month I've been wearing it a lot on my lid, and I like the amount of light it draws to my (tired) eyes.
CoverGirl LashBlast Mascara
I ran out of my beloved DiorShow mascara this month, and decided to use this as a time to try some of the drugstore mascaras I'm always hearing so much about. I was between this and Clump Crusher, and went with this because - let's be honest - I hate curved brushes for mascara. That was literally the only thing that made my decision for me. But I'm so, so glad I finally tried this. I actually find it to wear very similarly to DiorShow on me. It's a wetter mascara (DiorShow is very dry), but it volumizes my lashes, doesn't clump at all, and gives me the appearance of a full spray of lashes. I am in love, and I have a feeling I'm going to be repurchasing this for a long time.
Revlon Lip Butter in Peach Parfait
I love me some Revlon Lip Butters. But I've never quite loved this shade... until now. I don't know what it was, but the first few times I used this I found it to be chunky and glittery and I didn't love the shade. Maybe I was just having a few bad days, but I have worn and loved this shade quite a bit this month. I've even gotten compliments on wearing it, so I'm not just having a crazy moment. If you've ever disliked this shade due to the glitter, please-oh-pretty-please just pick it up and give it a few more tries before you chuck it in the bin.
Nars Lipgloss in Easy Lover
I got this for Christmas, and thought it looked so pretty in the tube. My immediate reaction to this was disappointment - it's not super pigmented, but is really, REALLY glossy. I thought it wasn't noticeable at all on my lips - but apparently I was wrong. I've worn this soooo many times this month. It adds a really pretty subtle bright pink tint to my lips (though a co-worker noticed it enough to remark that my lipgloss matched my hot pink sweater) and a ton of shine.
NYX Lipgloss in Pink Rose
This ended up in my purse at the beginning of the month and I just kept wearing it. Like on the daily. It really brightens up my face and adds a pop of color when I run out the door with nothing but concealer, mascara and blush. It "goes" well with my Deep Throat blush and I think that's why I kept reaching for it out of the depths of my purse -- that, and this month I was too lazy to ever empty lip products from my bag!
Revlon Colorstay Gel-Shine Top Coat
I'm never buying a super-expensive top coat again. This stuff is awesome.
Marni Perfume
I usually don't venture out from my safe little perfume world (Chanel Mademoiselle, a handful of Jo Malone fragrances), but oh man, oh man. I've been wearing this stuff every day this month. I'm not great at describing scents, but this smells very simple and warm to me. Descriptions of it online as "warm and spicy" basically sum it up. And also... HOW CUTE IS THIS BOTTLE???
What were your favorites this month? Lemme know in the comments below :)

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. --Authorities are trying to determine how five brown pelicans became covered with oil in the Santa Barbara area.
Two of the birds were found at Ellwood Beach near Goleta. Three more birds were found on East Beach.

Spring Radish Salsa
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This bright and cheerful salsa inspired by tropical flavors is elegant and perfect for spring. Save the tomatoes and peppers for summer and make this salsa now. Spring radish salsa brings together ingredients with bold flavors and bright colors. I use french breakfast radishes because they look so elegant. Cilantro brings a refreshing herbal note. The lime zest is fragrant and almost floral while the juice brings acidity to the dish. Jalapeño adds an extra kick while the Haitian mango balances the salsa with it's creamy sweetness. The skin of the Haitian mango is green and yellow, while the flesh is golden just like other mangoes. The exotic, tropical flavor of the Haitian mango is a real treat. The flesh is pithier and stringy compared to other mangoes, but it's good in a raw, jungle fruit sort of way. If you haven't tried a Haitian mango, it's time to try something new.
Spring Radish Salsa can be served simply with chips, but it's also nice over grilled seafood or meat. Here I served it with shrimp and fresh tortillas. A little avocado is nice too. Enjoy! —la domestique
Serves: 4
bunch radishes sliced paper thin with a mandoline
scallions thinly sliced
cup diced Haitian mango
cup chopped cilantro
extra-virgin olive oil
pinches sea salt
- Combine radishes, scallions, jalapeño, Haitian mango, and cilantro in a medium bowl.
- Using a microplane, grate the zest off one lime into the bowl of vegetables.
- Juice the lime and pour over the salsa. Add a splash of extra virgin olive oil, just enough to lubricate the vegetables. Season with salt to taste. Serve immediately.

Office of Attorney General of Pittsburgh announced that a Kuwaiti student of Pennsylvania University has been arrested for possessing videos of child pornography.
In an official statement, the office said the Kuwaiti student is scheduled to appear in a hearing session on April 26 to face that charge along with another related to the use of a mobile phone in violation of criminal laws.
Investigators, quoting local news cable, said they decided to arrest the Kuwaiti after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. They reported finding 20 video clips of child pornography in the 'Dropbox' online account used by the student in Kuwait and the United States of America.
During interrogations, the student confessed that he knows child pornography is illegal and that he had viewed the clips on his mobile device. However, he insisted that he is not fond of such pornography and that a person had sent the videos to him.
According to a press statement, no lawyers have so far been appointed for defending the student.

Find salons that are hiring by searching for listings on general job posting sites, such as Craigslist.org, Indeed.com, SimplyHired.com and Monster.com, as of 2015. Also look on websites that specialize in salon and cosmetology job listings, such as SalonJobs.com.Continue Reading
SimplyHired.com and Indeed.com allow you to search for jobs within a city or ZIP code. They display details about the position requirements as well as the company posting the listing. Each site also allows you to narrow results according to the type of employment, either full-time or part-time, and salary. SalonJobs.com also offers a location search tool.
All posts on Craigslist.org appear in smaller subsections of the site that pertain only to specific regions within a state, such as the Los Angeles County region of California or the Manhattan region of New York. As such, you first need to identify the location in which you want to work before searching for salon jobs on the site. With each region's page, job listings appear according to the general profession type rather than for specific types of businesses.

Banish the blahs with the blues: Quinoa spinach salad dressed in bloo and sweet potato blue polenta
Do the February blahs having you feeling the blues?
One way of raising your spirits is to rethink the colour blue — having a case of the blues is one thing, but this respected member of the rainbow is also known to instill joy, trust and dignity, authority and intelligence.
Blue is the colour of an endless sky, or a deep ocean, of tranquil lakes and glorious vacation spots (the waters of the famous Turks and Caicos islands come to mind).
Blue has the ability to make one feel peaceful, in some cases spiritual.
Blue conveys a sense of loyalty and history – we have the blue-blooded who symbolize aristocracy, and blue jeans who act as the great equalizer in the fashion world. A dark blue suit is a symbol of respect and reward, while light blue is all about peace.
Food wise, blue stands for health, and blue foods are often rich in flavonoids. When you think of one true blue food, it would be the sweet blueberry, a fruit rich in potassium, folate, magnesium and fibre. It also contains a powerful antioxidant called anthocyanin, thought to be protective against cancer, heart disease and other age-related diseases. Good for your head as well as your heart!
True blue foods are hard to find, as, apart from blueberries, there aren't that many of them — but we have blue potatoes and blue corn (for those ridiculously delicious blue corn chips!), and let's not get started on blue cheese in all its creamy and crumbly glory. We have blue grapes and even red cabbage has a habit of turning blue when cooked.
Since we're on a roll — how about a Labatt Blue? Mussels have that deep blue-hued beauty to their shells and even various fish come in various shades of blue.
Still feeling blue? Try a couple of these blue plate specials and we guarantee you'll be loving the blues in no time!
Gluten-free quinoa is cooked with blueberry juice and combined with spinach, blueberries, celery and green beans tossed in a zesty blueberry citrus dressing. Recipe courtesy of bloo pure blueberry juice (bloojuice.com).
- 2 cups (500ml) pure blueberry juice
- 1/4 cup (60ml) orange/lemon blend juice (or 2 cups/500ml bloo Blueberry Citrus Juice)
- 1 cup (250ml) water
- 1 cup (250ml) quinoa
- 1 cup (250ml) slivered green beans
- 1 cup (250ml) diced celery
- 2 cups (500ml) baby spinach
- 1/2 cup (125ml) diced sweet onion
- 1/4 cup (60ml) finely chopped cilantro
- 1 cup (250ml) fresh blueberries
- 1 cup (8 oz./250ml) Mandarin orange segments (optional)
- 1 cup (250ml) ripe avocado, chopped
- 1/4 cup (60m) olive oil
- 1/2 cup (125ml) pure blueberry juice
- 1 Tbsp. (15ml) orange juice
- 1 Tbsp. (15ml) white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp. (5ml) Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp. (15ml) maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp. (2ml) each salt and fresh cracked pepper
In medium saucepan, bring the blueberry citrus juice to boil. Add quinoa and return to boil; reduce heat to maintain a simmer; cover and cook until all liquid has been absorbed, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat, keep covered and let sit for 15 minutes.
In another saucepan of boiling, salted water, steam green beans for 30 seconds; add celery and cook 10 seconds more. Immediately transfer to colander and run under cold water to stop cooking process.
In large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, beans and celery mixture, spinach, onion, cilantro, mint, blueberries, olive oil, bloo juice, white wine vinegar, Dijon, maple syrup, salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine. Let sit 30 minutes before serving.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
Tip: If cilantro is not a favourite at your table substitute with flat leaf parsley.
This Italian polenta is wonderfully comforting and pairs well with fish, poultry, pork or beef, says famed cookbook author, chef and TV food personality Massimo Capra, who prepared his dish with blue corn polenta, which you can find at any bulk store.
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 2 cups (500ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (125ml) blue corn polenta (or 1/2 cup/125ml cornmeal)
- 1/4 tsp. (1ml) ground nutmeg
- 1-2 Tbsp. (15-30ml) butter
- 1/4 cup 60ml) grated Parmesan
- 1/4 cup (60ml) grated mozzarella
- 2-3 Tbsp. (30-45ml) snipped fresh chives
- Salt and pepper to taste
Pierce sweet potato all over with fork and place in microwave. Cook on High for 5-6 minutes until baked through. (Alternatively, bake in 350F/180C oven for 40 minutes or until fork tender.) Carefully remove skin and mash until smooth.
In a saucepan, bring milk to a boil. Add polenta and whisk constantly, taking care not to let mixture overboil. Cook for about 3 or 4 minutes until it thickens. Add nutmeg, butter and mashed sweet potato.
Remove from heat and whisk in cheeses. Add chives and season with salt and pepper.
Serves 4.
TIP: For added flavour, add 1/4 cup/60ml crumbled blue cheese.

Fall 2008 Issue
Batter up
Record number of Buccaneers drafted to Majors
By Solange Reyner
John Servidio couldn't swing a bat during the month of August because of a broken hand. But even as he watched games from the dugout, the minor league baseball player was still on cloud nine.
"Being in front of a crowd of nearly 7,000 every single night will do that to you," said Servidio, who was drafted in the 26th round by the New York Mets this year.
Servidio, 23, has been with the Cyclones, their Class-A affiliate in Brooklyn, since early June.
Servido broke his hand in early August while swinging a bat but played most of the season for the club in right field. He hit .239 with three home runs and 17 RBIs from June 1 through August 12 and was one of the first-year players who filled out the Cyclones' Opening Day roster. He made an early impression by hitting the first home run of the season and was a leader both on and off the field.
The atmosphere in Coney Island wasn't something Servidio was used to. At Barry, the crowd for home games would usually number in the low hundreds – not quite the thousands that routinely attend Cyclones' games.
"Your blood starts pumping once you get on the field to stretch here," Servidio said from the clubhouse in New York. "You hear 1,000 people go crazy when you hit a double. Everything is extreme. It's fun to perform here."
Servidio got to experience that rush after major league scouts took notice of his performance at Barry during his senior year. He and three other players, the most Barry has had drafted since the baseball team's inception in 1985, had their names called on June 7.
Servidio and Andrew Frezza signed contracts, while pitcher Bobby Hernandez decided to come back to finish his senior year in an attempt to raise his stock before the 2009 draft.
Hernandez was drafted by the Red Sox in the 38th round and had a 7-0 record with 51 strikeouts for Barry in 2008 when the team went 32-19, earning Sunshine State Conference Pitcher of the Year and All-America status.
Another Barry player, left-handed pitcher Mike Tomoleoni, a senior in 2008, signed a free-agent contract with the Boston Red Sox and recently finished playing with the Single-A Lowell Spinners in the New York Penn League – the same league in which Servidio played.
"That was a tough group to lose," said Barry head coach Marc Pavao. "These guys were exceptional."
Frezza, an outfielder, was drafted in the 31st round by the Boston Red Sox and played for the Gulf Coast League in Fort Myers this summer.
He hit .263 with seven doubles, two triples and one homerun.
Unlike Servidio, Frezza felt the pressure of being in the league. Most of the games were midday in the South Florida heat and Frezza had to be at the field by 7:30 for morning workouts.
"It was a difficult transition, but I was happy with the first season," said Frezza, who finished on August 27.
Tomoleoni, Frezza and Servidio stay in touch via text messages and phone calls. They exchanged minor league stories about the differences between college ball and the pros.
For Frezza, the transition to a wooden bat has been tough. "The ball doesn't come off as fast," he said.
For Tomoleoni, 10 hours at the stadium was a grind. "I wasn't used to spending my entire day at the ballpark," he said. "The work was intense and we really didn't get to do much else but come to the field and play games. It was a long three months."
The summer wasn't long enough to forget about specific moments, though – like Frezza robbing a grand slam homerun from a friend he used to play against in high school.
"That was cool," Frezza said. "The crowd went crazy on that play."
Then there was the time Tomoleoni was in the dugout when Lowell beat the Red Sox Triple-A team August 9 in the 12th inning in front of 37,000 fans at Fenway Park.
"The hair on the back of my neck was standing straight up," Tomoleoni said.
For Servidio, it was the mere experience.
"I was frustrated when I broke my hand, but just being able to play minor league ball for the time I did was great. It won't hold me down too long."

I write with a heavy heart. My community is grieving the sudden death of one of its own. I couldn't sleep last night for thinking of the family, the mom especially; as a mom of sons I can not imagine her loss. It is heartbreaking. I am heartbroken. We all are.
Brain cancer, a young man's death…there is so much sadness. So much grief. I can only pray and beg the Lord for mercy. Mercy for my friend as she begins chemo and radiation. Mercy for her husband and her boys. Mercy and grace and the comfort of the Spirit for our friends who grieve, who woke this morning with the weight of incomprehensible loss heavy on their hearts.
So I feel a little silly telling you I wrote a post about ordinary life. But, as I think on it, with the brevity of life and the reality of suffering at the forefront of my mind, yes it may be a little silly but I think maybe it is also wholly appropriate. Life is short, indeed it is, and your life, like mine, is most likely comprised of all things ordinary. But let's make it count. For the sake of the kingdom and the glory of our Savior, yes and amen.

I can remember the day I knew, with certainty, that I was a lesbian. It was a sunny afternoon in 1996, and I was lying on my back surrounded by ratty stuffed animals won at fairs. Staring up at a poster of Aaliyah in signature tomboy style, I imagined what it would be like to press her face against mine. I daydreamed that I pulled her in by her baggy jeans and touched her petal-soft lips, kissing her like I saw girls do on softcore dramas I snuck to watch as my parents slept. I wanted to hold her hand, laugh at all her jokes, and sit next to her at the lunch table. And then I wanted to throw up.
My parents were as close to hippies as black folks from the suburbs could manage. Although a homophobic joke would slip into family game night here and there, they were mostly accepting as long as "gay people weren't shoving it in their faces." Maybe they were a little homophobic, but I didn't pay attention or mind it too much growing up. Peace and love was substituted with hard work and good grades, and I grew up the golden child who could do little wrong. It made me proud to please my folks, and getting A's on my report card was the easiest way to do it. I was allowed freedom that other kids could only dream about, like staying outside after the street lights came on and going to dark basement parties full of curious preteens. In spite of this, the level of self-loathing and disgust I felt after fantasizing about a woman confirmed my heterosexuality for years to come.
Every time I'd glance at a soft, round booty or bite my bottom lip as an attractive stud walked past, I'd curse myself.
When I think about my experiences from that moment in my tiny pink bedroom to the present, it honestly makes me sad. I denied who I am and have always been because I was homophobic. It took me a long time to swallow that revelation, but it's true. The nausea I felt wasn't because I was afraid, it was because I thought being attracted to a girl was gross. Our bodies weren't built that way, right? How could we have babies? Get married? The only images I had of homosexuality back then were surrounded by shame or comedy — it just wasn't what people did, and I'd never experienced any positive examples of same-sex couples outside of porn and rom-coms. There was no threat of harm or unacceptance by my parents or friends, I just didn't want to because I thought there was something wrong with me.
For years the question plagued me, how could I be commended by teachers for being so intelligent, but couldn't overcome this "affliction?" Every time I'd glance at a soft, round booty or bite my bottom lip as an attractive stud walked past, I'd curse myself. I wanted to be done with my attraction to girls, because in my opinion it wasn't normal. It wasn't what the world expected, and it wouldn't please my family. My perfectionism balked at something I couldn't perfect, and with relationship after failed hetero relationship, I slowly began to realize that my attraction, my longing to be embraced by another woman, was inevitable.
Although I was afraid, alone, and carrying the weight of becoming a single mom, I had to leave. I stayed faithful until the end, and felt absolutely defeated as I left because I tried really hard — harder than I've ever tried at anything — to be straight.
I dabbled with more bad heterosexual relationships in college, and fell in love with a guy at 23. I thought I was "cured." Surely I couldn't desire femininity when I was in a relationship with a man I just knew was the one for me, right? I could live out all of my hetero fantasies — getting married, having babies, and living happily ever after. Polyamory was not an option — I'm pretty much a one-woman gal, and felt that he'd fetishize any lesbian interaction I'd have including him. After getting pregnant and discovering that my attraction to women only grew stronger over the years, I knew that I had to make a change, to be free.
We tried at the family thing off-and-on for about six years, and during that time I felt a part of my soul hidden, trapped inside a box of heteronormality that I just couldn't fit. He'd make the same sort of jokes my parents made growing up, but this time they were intolerable. Being someone I'm not was also intolerable — year after year it made me feel more disgusted with myself. I felt that my kids would be okay — they'd know a life where love in all forms was normal and acceptable, and would hopefully be open to discovering who they are as a result. After a conversation with my best friend, who had been bisexual since I've known her (and was an inspiration because she lived freely), I knew it was time. Although I was afraid, alone, and carrying the weight of becoming a single mom, I had to leave. I stayed faithful until the end, and felt absolutely defeated as I left because I tried really hard — harder than I've ever tried at anything — to be straight. I tried to make a family work, and to do the right thing in society's eyes. I tried to get over it, but I couldn't.
Coming out for me at 28 felt like the weight of a thousand bricks was lifted from my soul. It was honestly as if all the defeat I felt melted away, and I knew instantly that I'd made the right decision. I was eight months pregnant with a three-year-old in tow when I decided that I'd live life authentically. When I told my family, it was as if I relayed the day's news — they accepted me wholeheartedly and without question. It was a tougher transition in the dating scene — many women simply refused to be involved with a new mom, while others deemed me as bisexual or "jumping the fence" because of an unhappy relationship. There's totally nothing wrong with bisexuality, but I didn't feel like the title was for me because I was a lesbian first, straight by choice. I didn't put myself out there until I was ready and could decide which label to accept as my own (lesbian tomboy femme fits me best), and decided that the woman for me could accept and embrace my journey and look toward a future with me and my plus two.
While I'm still working on this every day, I can say that I'm closer to myself now than I've ever been. I'm happy to be free to love. I have pockets of time where I'll feel a tinge of regret for not allowing myself to be okay with who I am. What would life look like if I came out at 12, when I knew? Regret would erase the beautiful children I created or a ton of other experiences I had over the years, so I try not to go to that place often. Instead, I try to raise my children to be open to love, differences, and change, so that they'll feel free to explore their personalities when they're older. I embrace who I was then and who I've become, and I work hard to appreciate my journey. I've forgiven myself, and have promised to be more kind to my inner voice. Because honestly, there's no better critic.

text: Some seem to think that the reputation points are a popularity contest, or are decided by political affiliation. This couldn't be further from the truth. I rarely use the system, but will award points on a post if I think it stands out - regardless of who wrote it. I have given out my share of points to 'liberals' because their posts were well thought out, full of facts, and delivered in a respectful and civil manner. I have also given negative points to conservatives who made foolish posts that didn't serve a purpose other than to incite flame wars. In a nutshell, your reputation will be ultimately decided by your posting style as opposed to 'who you are'. Bullypulpit is the first to come to mind. He's been a diehard Bush hater from day one and yet somehow retains a positive reputation. Probably because he always cites a source to backup his claims and usually delivers his posts in an intelligent manner - whether you disagree with him or not. So before you claim you have red squares next to your name solely because your opinion differs from others, re-read some of your own posts and see if you come off as an arrogant know-it-all who rarely cites a source for ludicrous stories. See if the majority of your posts are made in a condescending manner.

The Ghost Files
US historians have long complained about gaps in the National Archives. Can big-data analysis show what kinds of information the government is keeping classified?by David J. Craig Published Winter 2013-14
Matthew Connelly had an idea for a book.
The Pentagon, he realized, was one of the first organizations ever to undertake a large, scientifically based effort to predict the future. During the Cold War, it had invested billions of dollars into the development of computer-based war games, statistical models, and elaborate role-playing exercises in hopes of anticipating Soviet military activity. How successful had the Pentagon's program been at predicting the Soviets' next moves? And how had the Pentagon's predictions been skewed by the group dynamics of the generals, intelligence analysts, diplomats, and statisticians involved? Did they tend to push more cautious or alarmist conclusions? Did they favor predictions that were too forward-looking to be proved wrong while they were still on the job? These were questions that had never before been thoroughly investigated.
"I thought this would provide insights into how all sorts of predictions get made today, whether about climate change, disease outbreaks, or rogue states acquiring nuclear weapons," says Connelly '90CC, who is a professor of history at Columbia. "How seriously should we take these predictions? And what's the best way to gauge their relative validity? The US government has been in the business of forecasting the future for fifty years, so it seemed logical to evaluate its record."
He didn't get very far. In the spring of 2009, a few months after starting his research, Connelly decided it would be impossible to tell the story that he envisioned. Too little information was available. Connelly had spent long hours researching the Pentagon's forecasting efforts at the National Archives in College Park, Maryland, and at other government archives around the country. He had found a decent amount of material related to the program's beginnings in the 1960s, but few records from later decades.
"The Pentagon was certainly making forecasts throughout the course of the Cold War," says Connelly, the author of the 2008 book Fatal Misconception: The Struggle to Control World Population. "So it was pretty obvious that the records from the 1970s onward were incomplete."
What Connelly experienced was something that researchers had been complaining about for years: that the National Archives' contemporary holdings had more holes than a donut factory. The problem was that the US government was not releasing classified documents on schedule. Although federal policy requires that most documents labeled "Confidential," "Secret," or "Top Secret" be released within thirty years, by the time George W. Bush left office some four hundred million pages of classified material had been sitting in filing cabinets and on computer hard drives for longer than that. This was evident from the National Archives' own annual reports.
To many people who study the declassification process, this was a startling abrogation of the government's responsibility to act as its own archivist. The only classified documents that were supposed to be kept hidden for more than three decades were those whose disclosure would pose a serious risk to national security, such as by revealing details of an ongoing military or intelligence operation. "Very few of those four hundred million pages could possibly have met the standard for remaining secret that long," says Steven Aftergood, a transparency advocate who directs the Federation of American Scientists' Project on Government Secrecy. "This was very troubling. The government's prerogative to classify sensitive materials is supposed to be a temporary refuge from public oversight, not a permanent shield."
Connelly, when confronted with the gaps he saw in the National Archives, did what he says most scholars do: he muddled through. After reading the documents that were available to him, he cobbled together the best history he could, soon publishing a paper about the power struggles among the CIA, the FBI, and the State Department over whose organization got to issue the authoritative interpretations of the military forecasts made early in the Cold War.
But afterward, Connelly couldn't put the experience out of his mind. He wanted to know how long it would take the government to release those records. He also wondered: what other stories were hiding in those millions of backlogged documents? Other historians were asking similar questions, but Connelly grew angrier than most. The way he saw it, the government was not just standing in the way of new books being written; it was delaying a revolution in historical scholarship. Connelly was among a small but growing number of historians who believed that the future of his field was in using computers to analyze huge volumes of documents. For years, he had been going into archives with a digital camera and taking photographs of paper records. He would then turn those images into text files and feed them into software that in the aggregate could show him, for instance, where the paths of certain people, institutions, and companies had overlapped at different points in history. He was excited about the prospect of using similar techniques to analyze US government records from the digital era. A lot of sensitive electronic records should have already been declassified, since some federal agencies had embraced digital communications and record-keeping as early as the 1970s.

WAYNESBORO, Pa. — After several bargaining sessions without any progress, the Waynesboro Area School Board and its teachers union met Thursday and talked about a new proposal.
The school board offered to provide a $600 salary increase in the second year of a new, three-year contract and an additional $600 in the third year, according to Richard Galtman, an attorney serving as the lead negotiator for the school board.
In exchange, the school board wants teachers to make increased contributions to health insurance premiums. The amount of those contributions is unresolved, partly because the district has entered a new insurance plan year, Galtman said.
"What we're saving on benefits we're spending on salaries," he said.
When the union, Waynesboro Area Education Association, asked for more information from the insurance carrier, Galtman said he took that as a good sign.
"I think it's positive," he said. "We're guardedly optimistic, I'd say."
"In order for us to respond, we asked for additional health insurance information. ... We can't evaluate (the offer) until we get some more information from them," said Mike Engle, negotiator for Waynesboro Area Education Association.
In the school board's proposal, teachers would not change their classifications on the salary schedule. Also, they would not receive a pay increase for the first year of the contract, which would have been 2010-11.
The two sides started negotiating in early 2010.
Galtman said he gives both the school board and union credit for what he views as a positive session Thursday. He commended the board for its new offer and the Waynesboro Area Education Association for its consideration of that offer.
The next bargaining session was scheduled for Sept. 22.

Photography by Rebecca 'B FRESH' McDonald.
On November 4, 23 million young people came out to vote–the largest number since 1972 and 3.4 million larger than in 2004. But more significant, this year's election became about much more than just voting. Volunteering in record numbers, young people became the superforce of the Obama camp, sustaining and energizing what became one of the biggest grassroots movements for a presidential campaign ever seen. Young people gave up higher-paying jobs for less money to knock on doors, organize block parties, foment online campaigns, make T-shirts and music, and drive voters to the polls. From college campuses to working-class communities, young people realized that, as a group, they have the power to change things in their own country.
Many progressives hope that the elation and idealism that Barack Obama's campaign helped inspire will turn into a lifetime of community service. There is hope that something can be done about the ever-increasing income gap and poverty, growing unemployment, porous healthcare, environmental degradation and broken schools in low-income communities. And while the president and Congress deliberate policy and allocate funding, the direction of their work will depend, in part, on the continued grassroots activism of young people.
That's why TheNation.com and WireTap magazine partnered to kick off "You Voted. Now What?"–a series of stories highlighting some of our nation's most inspiring and successful young activists, coast to coast, working on building new opportunities for the previously dispossessed. Through these stories we hope to highlight a broad range of potential paths for channeling some of the prodigious energy unleashed during the Obama campaign. We begin with an overview of the political landscape in which young people can continue their activism, from part-time volunteering to lifetime careers in public service.
After graduating from Columbia College and a brief stint in business consulting, Obama became a community organizer in the far South Side of Chicago. He worked with churches and blue-collar communities to hold local officials accountable, and he helped open college preparatory and job-training programs, playgrounds and after-school programs.

Pet Owner in Louisville
I'm a full time "mommy" and now, full time employee. Recently moved to KY with my beautiful 8 year old Jack Russell Beagle mix dog. Piper can be a handful since she has two very hyper breeds in her DNA. To be blunt, she is aggressive outside the house, and very much active inside the house. She doesn't need to be walked much as I take her out for a run when I wake and again for a walk before I leave for work. However, I'd much appreciate it if the sitter could walk her around the backyard until she does her business (and clean up obviously) and give her a dog bone in the afternoon. Piper is a sweetheart inside the house and loves to be pampered so long as she doesn't sense fear or anger, she'll behave like an angel.
