The Setting
London, 2015. A hulking mass of urban life- busy, noisy and seemingly restless. From the crowded shops and pavement down Oxford Street to the bustling night-life of Soho; there's something for everyone in England's capital. There's nothing different to report from the London you know, as any missing persons cases aren't exactly unusual. It's a big place, and people go missing all the time.
Wonderland has shifted over the years into something altogether unrecognisable as the whimsical paradise it was when Alice first came to visit. The modern world hit Wonderland by storm when the majority of its citizens were allowed to roam freely between their home and London, and Wonderland itself went through a kind of industrial revolution. Years later, nature is slowly starting to reclaim its hold on the land and with the Looking Glass and Rabbit Hole off-limits to all but the rabbit himself, those who seek a modern lifestyle can only cling to those who find themselves stranded in Wonderland for guidance.
The Royal City is similar to London in many ways, though with a more natural vibe to it. There are no skyscrapers, instead imagine buildings similar to Buckingham Palace or the Natural History museum. Almost vintage in appearance next to structures like the Shard, but certainly modern by Wonderland's original standards. Ivy and vines creep up the sides of buildings but being that the Royal City is so central and so populated, it has yet to fall into disrepair.
The outlying villages, depending on their worth to the Crown and their distance from the Capital, vary in their states of disrepair. Some are similar to the Royal City, smaller by far but less damaged by the growth of plants and natural decay. Others, being far from the Palace and more sparsely populated are home to buildings with trees taking root within them, breaking holes in the roof in order to grow. On the very fringes of the known world within Wonderland, lie mostly abandoned hamlets that have been almost entirely overgrown.
Places like Tulgey Wood, the Caterpillar Forest, the Beach and the Duchess' manor (curiously), have been largely unaffected by the change. It's explained that this is due to the Forest's already natural state, the Beach's lack of buildings keep them entirely out of the equation. The Tulgey Wood only seems to have grown darker, and more dangerous as the years go on... and there is rumour that the large, stately mansion hidden away in its depths has been overgrown and appears abandoned. The Duchess' manor is an entirely different affair, however, but for whatever reason- the place always seems as well groomed as the Palace itself. Curious, considering its distance from the Royal City.

The fashion in Wonderland tends to be a little of this and a little of that. Some are entirely set in their ways and, despite the modernisation of their homeland- stick to traditional Wonderland garb, which has a medieval feel to it. Others have entirely updated their wardrobe to fit with the modern world of London they got such a fleeting glimpse of, while others still take a little from each era to make up eccentric
Despite the fact that, being now almost entirely separated from London- they no longer have access to the benefits of modern living; Wonderland is still surprisingly able to bring out modern favourites such as burgers, wraps and even pizza. A recipe once learned is never forgotten, they say, and if a Wonderland cook is savvy enough they can make it work with whatever supplies they possess. Sure, it might taste a little different to what you can pick up at the local McDonald's... but if the medieval fare that most of Wonderland survives on doesn't appeal to you, rest easy in the knowledge that you can probably get a semi-decent copy of a Big Mac with a little begging.
Considering the distinct lack of electricity or internet, Wonderlanders cannot amuse themselves with television, cinema or computers as they may have done in their London lives. However, this does not mean they lack entertainment! Wonderland provides a rich backdrop for musical endeavours, theatre and recreational games. Certainly, those who prefer the more medieval lifestyle will find these more exciting than those who crave the modern world still... but there's something for everyone: some of the more experimental actors and musicians have been doing all they can to replicate more modern tales or songs with their perhaps more 'primitive' instruments or less technical props.
Religion had no place in a world where the whim of the Queen was the law. Indeed, nobody in Wonderland had ever put any mind to there being a higher being than their Monarch. It was only when London's influences began pouring in that Wonderlanders were confronted with the concept of religion. Now, it's an individuals choice if they wish to associate themselves with human beliefs, a choice made more difficult with the cut-off from London itself and the churches, temples, mosques, synagogues and other places of worship it provides. Needless to say, religion isn't a particularly widespread or popular concept among creatures who have no real tie to it, but it does exist, even if in the smallest of ways.
As previously hinted at, there are three distinct lifestyles lived throughout Wonderland:
There are those who remain true to the old world, and shun any London influences. They prefer a simpler life, before the modern world almost spoiled their home and turned it into a cheaper copy of England's capital. They dress in attire reminiscent of the medieval world, tend to live further out from the Royal City if they can, and outright refuse to have anything to do with the modern world. Usually, these are the ones who refused to visit London when they had the opportunity, and care very little for the closing of the Looking Glass.
Somewhere in the middle are those who're content with both worlds. They visited London and found it delightful, but are also keen to hold on to their roots. They dress in an eclectic fashion, mixing and matching modern and medieval as it suits them. They're just as likely to enjoy an old fashioned stew as they are a Wonderland copy of a pizza, and can live anywhere from the modern 'apartments' of the Royal City to the outlying villages. They're a little put out by the closing of the Looking Glass, but they can equally live without it. In short they're on the fence.
Last but not least are those who desperately miss London. They are dismayed by the closing of the Looking Glass and find themselves craving fast food, electricity and everything else the modern world provides. They shun their roots and dress only in what modern clothing they're able to salvage, and make their lives largely within the main cities where the modern world still has presence. They eat as closely to their London diets as they can, and long for the day when the Queen opens the passageway back to Alice's homeland.

With skills like theirs, Red and White Rose are extremely helpful. They both have the ability to heal and take away pain to some degree - the Red Rose more so than the White. They are very friendly by nature and tend to aid whoever needs it, at least most of the time. There are some exceptions to the rule however, but unless you're Jabberwocky, the likelihood that they will help you is high.
Royal Court
The Queen's Royal Court has its private medical attendants that are exclusive to them. The medicine they practice is solely based off Wonderland's landscape.
The Caterpillar's business is available to everyone. As well as drugs, he specialises in indie medicine, a lot of it based from what he scavenged in London. Word is that every human that enters Wonderland goes through a search and if medicine of any kind is found, the Caterpillar puts it to use.

New arrivals
The new arrivals generally aren't sure what's going on, so they walk around aimlessly in confusion.
Lower class
When it comes to lower class, there is a division in two groups: walking and bikes. Those, who choose to stick to ways of Wonderland, walk around. However there are some others who have bicycles.
Middle class
Within middle class, there is a division between horse-owners, who ride on horseback, bike owners and lastly, people who aren't as fortunate and have to walk. The line between traditional and non-traditional Wonderlanders is even clearer, to the point of there being a certain sense of animosity between the two.
Upper class
Upper class get it all. From horse and carriage to walking, they have a vast array of possibilities. They are the least likely to own a bike, as they tend to stick to tradition. Main form of transport for them is in fact horse and carriage, but there are a few that prefer horse riding as it is the quickest form of transport.

Law & Order
The Queen is the most prominent political figure in Wonderland. She has a team of advisors she (mostly) trusts, and they are the ones who provide the most feedback on any new laws or decrees the Queen is composing. No official political decision is made without her consent or knowledge, and all new laws and decrees are announced and carried out by the Queen. Currently, her main focus is on maintaining the status quo and will only create new policies if a case demands it. The most serious crimes in Wonderland are treason, murder, and attempting to cross into London without prior approval of the Queen. Those who are found guilty of any three are punished directly by the Queen; all other crimes are sent to Court where the King oversees a trial (more below). Beheadings aren't as common these days, but the Queen has been known to come up with punishments that make criminals beg for the guillotine.
The judicial court is presided over by the King with counsellors for the prosecuting and defending parties and a jury of the condemned's peers. This is in direct contrast to the previous monarch's rule, in which every tiny infraction was met with beheading. (The current Queen believes in the chance to explain oneself.) The King oversees all trials and sentences all found guilty based on the verdict of the jury. Occasionally, he will send certain cases to the Queen, who holds total judicial power in Wonderland, but this is rare and only in cases of treason, murder, and/or those attempting to transport to London without prior approval of the Queen. There is no official police force in Wonderland, though the Cards have been known to report any rumors they believe hold water or any incidents they witness to the King. Once a week, the King receives Wonderlanders to hear of any complaints they have, including those that break laws. Even though cases are brought to the King's attention mostly via word of mouth, don't expect to commit a crime and get away with it, for everything in Wonderland has a way of turning up after a while...

Royal Court & Powerful Figures
The Monarchy
The Queen of Hearts holds the most power in Wonderland, followed closely behind the King. The selection of a new monarch is secretive to everyone not involved; some think it's by birth while others are more inclined to believe it's determined based on a set of criteria unknown to non-royal types. The current Queen was crowned after a coup nobody knew about until the former Queen was sequestered away due to a mental breakdown. There are rumors that the Queen and King favor those who swear loyalty to the Queen, but nobody can quite prove this.
The Knave of Hearts
The Knave of Hearts is the Queen's nephew, and they certainly clash on a multitude of topics. He prefers not to get involved with the Queen's business. It's rare that she'll ask for his opinion on one of the few things they more or less agree on; for the most part, the Knave does his own thing, only carrying out his royal duties when necessary. Lately, though, it seems as though he's disappeared, because nobody can seem to find him.
The Knights
There are two Knights left over from the old Red monarchy, and they still hold on to their original titles of Red Knight and White Knight. The Queen doesn't have much use for them in regards to the duties of a Knight, but she has them oversee various administrative duties, such as carrying out punishments and making sure proclamations are passed throughout all of Wonderland, when not holding a ceremonial position. Both have been around longer than the Queen, and she takes into account their opinions in regards to various political and social problems. In some ways, they can be just as influential as one of her advisors.
The Duchess
Royal by birth, the Duchess was a humanoid like the rest of the Royal Court, beautiful and cunning as anyone else. She knew her rank since before she could count to ten, so nobody took her quite as seriously as her two childhood friends, the former and current Queens who were first and second in line for the throne, respectively. This cut because she was an equal to the other two in every way except name. As she grew older, she grew uglier, her unhappiness about it causing a rift between her and the other two. The loss of Wonderland magic turned her full human and more beautiful than she had been, much to her delight. Although the current Queen has lowered the rank (and therefore the status) of the Duchess, the Duchess is no friend of the Queen and can certainly pull her own weight if she wants to.
The Cheshire Cat
Word on the street is that if you want something done, you go to the Cheshire Cat. Once a benevolent and playful creature, Alice's death left him twisted, his soul darkening along with the forest he resides in (for he lives in nothing but his own grief). His deals come with a price though, but if you find yourself low enough to go to him, you've probably already exhausted all your other options. Perhaps Wonderland's most devious creature, the Cheshire Cat is loyal to no one but himself and has placed himself as the key player opposite the Queen in the game they currently play.
The White Rabbit
The White Rabbit has always been an enigma. Early on, he gained a reputation for being Wonderland's most secretive socialite, even during the age of whimsy and muchness. There are rumors involving him, his family, and murder, but since nobody really knows anything about him, nobody can prove anything. He has made sure to find favor in all those who hold power above him, even if he doesn't necessarily agree with someone's politics or morals. He's frequently spotted in the company of the Cheshire Cat and is the one in charge of secretly ferrying humans into Wonderland at the Queen's request.

*Hong Kong Coffee Shop Classic: The Red Soup
Continuing the soft diet...goshhh when is it gonna be over?? Hmmm but let's see the silver lining, it's motivated me to try things I've never tried before, for once my blog may not be full of crispy golden browns for a change (who am I kidding? I still miss the golden browns. sob sob sob).
Those who are from Hong Kong knows this one very well, for this is a famous item in Hong Kong coffee shops. Most "fast meals" (fai chan) comes with either:
- Chinese soup (which often taste like stinky feet soup or with major MSG overload, or severely flavorless)
- "Cream" soup (which normally is just super corn starchy with almost no cream and again tasteless) or
- my favorite, Red soup, which taste decent if not yummy most of the time.
I imagine it takes hours to boil, so I hardly try to recreate it at home. When I eventually did, without knowing the secrets, I failed miserably, my red soup was even more flavorless than HK coffee shop's "cream soup". Shame. On. Me. HAHA
The other day, desperate for something tasty, I requested sous chef's help to make the red soup. After a lengthy (luckily not charged by the hour) consultation with sous chef's mom, we learnt "The Secrets to Successful Hong Kong Style Red Soup" (this is sooo gonna be a self-help book title), which are:
1. Tomato Paste (this gives the soup its vibrant red hue and thickness)
2. Vinegar (this gives the soup its acid punch)
No matter how much I tried to replace those two ingredients with read tomatoes, it just didn't work.
- lots of tomatoes
- 1 large potato
- 1 onion
- 2-3 stalks of celery
- 1 medium sized carrot
cut into chunky bits
- pork/beef brisket, blanch with ginger before cutting into chunky bits
- 1 can of Tomato paste
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- salt pepper
Throw everything into a boiling water, boil for about 1.5 hour, stir in the tomato paste, add the vinegar, salt, pepper, boil some more (the longer the better). Serve with bread + butter or garlic bread.

ATLANTA, GA (January 21, 2014) - Students with autism took part in the Junior Theater Festival in Atlanta for the first time this past weekend. The musical theater event is a joint venture between iTheatrics and Musical Theatre International and gathered more than 4,000 students from over 90 arts programs around the country.
"A whole new world. A new fantastic point of view." These words resonated loudly at this year's festival. The 11 students from P.S. 94, The Spectrum School in New York City left their audience in tears following their performance of Aladdin's "A Whole New World" and they received a standing ovation as you can see in the video below.
The song choice was spot-on. Through their performance, these students opened up a whole new world of thinking for their audience of adults and kids. The adjudicators who critiqued the performance were amazed. To see a group of students from various places on the spectrum work together to sing, dance and act was truly moving. Seeing the smiles on their faces upon witnessing the applause was symbolic of their sense of accomplishment.
The musical theater program at The Spectrum School would not have been possible without Arts Connection, an organization that is working to make art an essential part of education. The orgnanization connected the children with artists that work closely with them to bring out their inner voice.
At the Junior Theater Festival, schools perform a musical number and get feedback and coaching from Broadway pros. There are also large-scale performances and even an award show at the end of the festival. Although The Spectrum School teachers didn't expect to win anything, the school took home two awards – The Spirit Award and the Freddie G Excellence in Ensemble Work Award! This was surely an experience these kids, their parents and teachers will not soon forget. The Spectrum School's Principal Ronnie Shuster told me she hopes to communicate the value of a musical theater program to other special needs schools around the country.

Venus in Love 4
April 21, 2010
Yuki Nakaji – CMX – 2008 – 12 volumes
If it's possible to have a big crush on a manga, I've got it bad for Venus in Love. It is so ridiculously happy and fun to read that I am completely beside myself while going through the volume.
It wallows in its happiness and little slice-of-life style character-focused chapters, so as a result, it's a little slow. I can see how some might get bored of Suzuna's constant arm flailing, or Eichi's shy blushes, or the fact nothing substantial has happened romantically yet. There's also not much of an overarching plot. But I'm enjoying every single page.
The main focus in this volume is the love triangle between Suzuna, Eichi, and Yuki. Suzuna and Eichi seem to have mutual crushes on one another that neither seems to be a fan of discussing, and Yuki really likes Eichi, something he's not very shy about. I'm a big fan of how this love triangle is handled, with the unspoken feelings not getting in the way of the close friendship between Eichi and Suzuna, and how Yuki is friends with both and Suzuna doesn't take a spiteful approach to the rivalry. The two of them fight a lot, but there's no malice behind it.
I also like how the series seems to be keeping a small cast of characters and giving every one of them just a little bit of story time. Suzuna's friend Hinako gets a chapter about the relationship between her and the Greek teacher, which is a little easier for me to take since everyone's in college. Fukami, Eichi's friend and Suzuna's former crush, also reappears at the end of the volume for Yuki and Suzuna to ponder. And also to win a beauty pageant.
My favorite chapter was one that was very Eichi-centric, and featured him going on an archeological dig and discussing his motivations for entering that field of study. It's an unusual topic to come up in a manga, and not only did it give Eichi just a little more depth, the slightly mushy and sentimental nature of the series made all his life's work talk more sincere than it would have been coming from a character in another manga series.
Other chapters take slow looks at sports activities, Eichi's brother, Yuki's coldness towards girls, and just about anything else that might come up during a regular day at school.
This series is magical. I can't wait to read more. It takes me completely by surprise every time I read it, thinking that it can't maintain its happy mood for much longer.
Venus in Love 3
March 5, 2010
Yuki Nakaji – CMX – 2008 – 12 volumes
As I said, I was reading this volume when I suddenly realized how it was the polar opposite of We Were There. Both are awesome romance series, but while We Were There takes the depressing path of tragedy and emotional brass tacks, Venus in Love is literally one of the cheeriest, most upbeat titles I've read. There's the barest hint of drama towards the end of the volume, but even that is treated lightly and the characters mostly are awkward and scold themselves for being silly. There are plenty of romantic elements, but mostly it's just Suzu and Eichi together having a good time.
Venus in Love is different from We Were There in that it doesn't really examine happiness, the characters are happy because they choose to be and are doing things that they feel content with. It's easy to relate to them, but it can only be done on a superficial level, so it's not quite as striking as We Were There.
But the happiness isn't the series' only asset. There are a handful of pretty unique things about it. First and foremost, it's set in a college. It reads like a high school romance, and it's hard to remember that it's a college, but all the same, it's a campus romance. Also, time is elapsing. One year has gone by since the beginning of the series. There are other things, too. Suzu has a best friend, but rather than having her be a competitor for the boy she has a crush on, the friend has her own crush and subplot where the two of them get together. Interestingly, the crush seems to have been minimalized already, and most of the story in this volume is about Suzu and Eichi, her crush's best friend. Eichi is also gay and completely in love with his friend, so he's also in competition with Suzu, in a way. Except they become friends who cheer each other on, both seeming to know that the crush's feelings lie elsewhere. I was momentarily afraid that Eichi was somehow going to turn straight to date Suzu, and Suzu definitely begins to develop feelings for him (maybe. a little.), but later, a competitor in the form of a hot new boy on campus shows up with a big crush of his own on Eichi.
Weird stuff. Amid all this, there's donut munching, rabbit costumes, toy sales, furbies, awkward dates, awkward kisses, student/teacher relationships, and all sorts of other silliness. There aren't really any jokes, though, which I appreciate immensely. Usually series like this are played for comedy, but this isn't. It's merely happy.
It's not as good as We Were There, but I think it's quite notable in its own way. I've only got one more volume, but I think the next time I see it on sale, I'm going to grab all the current volumes. It's great stuff.

March 3, 2009
I actually really like this series, which is surprising since it's mostly just a fluffy light read. I think the thing that gets me about it is that all the characters are happy all the time, or are in the process of trying to cheer up someone else. There are probably excessive amounts of stupid jokes being passed around, but it's hard to begrudge the characters this since it seems to please them immensely. I've never seen a series with a mood as upbeat as this one, and it's probably a good palate cleanser between volumes of Basara, where the characters often have murder in their hearts.
Anyway, yes, tennis camp, tennis practice, some bonding between Suzuna and Eichi, and a new love interest for Fukami that is neither of them. I was hoping for more of an interesting rivalry between Suzuna and Eichi since I've never seen a love triangle where one of the possible matches for the boy was another boy. Suzuna and Eichi don't really seem like rivals, though. They seem… like a future couple. All signs point to yes for this, but on the other hand, Eichi is gay. How will this work? This mystery, transparent as it looks (Eichi and Suzuna will totally hook up), also piques my interest a bit.
A few downer bits are introduced, including a recent death of someone close to Eichi and… well, a random car accident. The former was actually handled quite well, since it was a real downer for Eichi and he both took the anniversary well and was supported by Suzuna. There was a nice cry-on-my-shoulder scene, which is somehow even nicer in this series since the mood is so happy all the time that even this seemed bittersweet in its way. The story did not pause for the car accident, though, which I found to be a little disturbing. Everyone smiled their way straight through that one, which I suppose was fine since it wasn't very serious.
Venus in Love: if you don't mind the light read, it is guaranteed to make your day a little happier.
Venus in Love 1
November 3, 2008
The plot of this series was what grabbed my attention, basically a love triangle between a girl and a boy who are rivals for the same guy. Taken seriously, I thought this would make for a great premise, and I was right.
Aside from the premise, I think this series succeeds because it is extremely energetic and pleasant. There are a pair of girls and a pair of guys who wind up as friends as they all enter their first year of university. Three in the group knew each other from high school, and the main character meets the other girl at entrance exams and is the neighbor of one of the boys. These four never fight, and are usually joking and hanging out with one another. The two girls are refreshingly normal, and traits I would hate in real life (the fact that they both seem to be boy-crazy to a fault and somewhat shallow) are what make the two girls so constantly happy and joke-y. The characters do antagonize each other, but never seriously, and when they get mad at one another for teasing, they usually have a smile on their face. It's just… really nice to see such healthy and sturdy friendships between characters like this, and their happiness is infectious.
The romance doesn't come in until later. The main character falls in love at first sight with her neighbor's friend, and some time is spent having her blush and be awkward around him, but not in the typical shoujo manga way. The awkwardness is done with a light touch, and you don't feel so bad for the main character since she doesn't seem to be seriously agonizing over it herself. It's not until later that she realizes her neighbor is actually in love with his friend, and she makes a bigger deal out of him teasing her for her feelings when he had a crush too. It actually doesn't linger too long on the fact that he's gay, which is really interesting and, again, refreshing. He's just another rival, and I love that the two of them are still friendly after this fact comes to light.
There are things about it that I don't like, but I think that it mainly has to do with the characters being fairly shallow, something I'm sure will be fixed as the series goes on. It wasn't absolutely fantastic, and I generally prefer a little more drama, but a drama-less love triangle like this is hard to pass up, and is really worth reading for the sheer novelty of it. I'm pretty pumped about reading the next volume.

Heat Things Up: Sport Chalet Offers Must-Have Outdoor Grilling Equipment For The Big Game
Specialty sporting goods retailer provides tips for creating an outdoor kitchen experience on game day
Jan 28, 2014, 11:05 EST
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunday will be one of most popular winter grilling days of the year, so having a sophisticated outdoor cooking set-up is essential for sports enthusiasts. According to a recent survey conducted by specialty sporting goods retailer Sport Chalet, 75 percent of Americans plan to grill on game day and 63 percent grill at least a few times each month.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130509/LA11443LOGO)
"Americans have made spectating and grilling into one of the great All-American pastimes," said Sport Chalet Expert Tonya Bray. "Sport Chalet offers a variety of grilling equipment, table and chair set-ups, coolers and cookware to help fans produce a weather resistant grilling and tailgating experience."
To help football fans build a functional outdoor kitchen for the big game, Bray recommends the following must-have items:
- For the true sportsman, the Camp Chef 2 Burner features two 30,000 BTU/hr commercial cast burners with a reversible BBQ grill and griddle to ensure all game day food can be grilled to perfection, even pizza.
- The winter chill can often be unbearable; warm up with the Camp Chef Gas Fire Ring. Enjoy the comfort of this convenient gas campfire without having to worry about gathering wood.
- For easy travel to and from a tailgate, the portable Camp Chef BBQ Box One Burner cooks far better than ordinary grills. The infrared technology and internal heat-diffuser plates improve cooking quality, eliminate flare-ups and instantly vaporize drippings.
- To keep beverages cool and at arm's length, the Vintage Coleman 54 QT Steel Belted Cooler holds up to 85 cans and has stainless steel handles with rubber grips for easy handling.
- Never break another wine glass with GSI Outdoors Wine Glasses. These stemless glasses have a very low center of gravity for surprising stability, even on rough terrain or rickety camp tables.
- To help reduce waste and avoid the hassle of picking up countless cups once the keg is tapped, have guests go green with Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Pint Cups. The pint cups are not only durable and reusable, but dishwasher safe for easy clean-up.
- If the sun is out on game day, protect friends and family with the Caravan Canopy TitanShade Kit. Designed with straight legs for maximum coverage, this canopy provides 100 square feet of shade and is also equipped with a rolling carrier for easy transport.
For more information on Sport Chalet's selection of grilling and tailgating equipment or to find the nearest Sport Chalet store, visit www.sportchalet.com. For additional media inquiries, contact email@example.com.

Great acting can be almost a psychotic mix of self-consciousness and unself-consciousness. And thats the terrible conflict. You have to be free to jump off into that volcano and you have to be pathologically self-conscious.
I don't think I really have a talent for movie acting. I'm not bad at it, but I don't think I really have a talent for it.
In the theater, you act more of the time. In the movies, you get to act maybe 20 or 30 minutes of the day. I love acting in movies. It's just different.
I don't think acting is addictive. If I stopped acting tomorrow, I really wouldn't care. If you told me that I would have to sell real estate in New York City to look after my family, that would be fine with me.
I don't think I really have a talent for movie acting.
I feel I'm two people: I have my interest in acting and I have a lot of other political interests I'd like to pursue.

EA confirmed a follow-up for its long dormant extreme snowboarding franchise SSX tonight at the Spike VGAs. Titled SSX: Deadly Descents, the new game is expected to release in 2011.
Deadly Descents will let players race down "every mountain range," and boasts a less comical tone than its predecessors. The trailer features action movie visuals and an EA Sports tagline.
We'll update with more information as it becomes available.
Electronic Arts has opened the official site for SSX: Deadly Descents following the debut of the trailer at the Spike VGAs. Developed by EA Canada, the game takes a much more realistic approach to its courses and action, putting players in a team that seeks to be the first to claim near-impossible mountain routes.
Reaction to the trailer have been heavily peppered with negative responses to the monotone visual style and gritty tone of the clip. (The game has already been nicknamed "SSX Black Ops" for its stylistic resemblance to Call of Duty.) That said, the idea of attacking incredibly dangerous routes has been a draw for snowboarding games in the past -- Nintendo's 1080 sequel was named "Avalanche" because of how awesome avalanche racing seemed to buyers, even though only the end of the game had this event.) Many will mourn EA's choice to take SSX away from the wild party of its originals' groomed courses and go instead out into the wild, but if done right, this still could be a tight ride in its own ways.
Here's the official description of the game:
- Redefining the SSX franchise, SSX: Deadly Descents will pit riders versus both mountain and man. Players will explore the story of a team who seek to be the first to descend the faces of the most treacherous mountain ranges on the planet. The team will travel the world to face the worst that Mother Nature can throw at them. From the peaks of the Himalayas, where the air is so thin that riders have to descend through the death zone at breakneck speeds to keep from blacking out, to the solid ice ranges of Antarctica, where a sunlit line is the only survival option when temperatures drop 50 degrees centigrade in the shade. And the mountain isn't the only danger players will face. In SSX: Deadly Descents the first goal is to survive. The second, in true SSX fashion, is to look good doing it.

Company news: Vivus
Vivus announced Tuesday that the FDA has pushed back the review date for its weight-loss drug to July 17. The phentermine-topiramate combination, which got the thumbs-up from an FDA advisory panel in February, was slated to go for a full agency evaluation April 17. The company said in a statement that the FDA wanted more time to review the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy Vivus had proposed. That strategy is an expansion of the one Vivus outlined in February. The initial Vivus proposal recommended patient surveys, a patient-provider agreement, pharmacy certification and limiting the drug's distribution to 10 or fewer mail-order pharmacies, among other measures. The drug's risks include memory loss and birth defects, which were among the reasons for the agency's 2010 rejection of the drug.

Evelynn Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This is my Evelynn build
Summoner Spells:
1.Flash - Useful for escape or if some enemy with low HP is goin' away, u flash to him and boom :)
2.Ignite - When some enemy with low health is running away, throw Ignite on him and if u're lucky, he'll give u kill.
3.Ghost - I think that ghost is less useful than flash 'cause if u have Boots of Mobility and ur ulti up u don't need more speed.
1. Shadow walk: (someone prefer Hate Spike first) its good as a first skill for scouting around and eventually stun for first blood
2. Hate spike: (if u first get Hate Spike, than get Shadow Walk) u can farm minions with it and spam it when u're killing players
3. Ravage: This is Evelynn's main ability. Ravage deals amazing damage so improve it almost always u can.
4. Malice and Spite: Evelynn's ultimate - U gain 50 / 75 / 100% attack speed and 20 / 25 / 30% movement speed for 15 seconds. And if enemy dies, u gain 25% of ur maximum health and cooldown on MaS refreshed. When ur stealthed, use MaS, Ravage and spam HS and u have one kill+. Its good when u go 1v2 too. U kill one and u're healed so u have a chance to kill the second enemy.
Evelynn's problem -> Oracle potions and wards... If someone have oracle pot up, ask teammates for help with killing that one with oracle. And wards ? U can't do anything. Reconcile with it. They see you :D
1.Sheen (later Lich Bane): its very good for Evelynn. When u use ability, your next attack deals 100% of your base attack (3 sec cd). And when u spam Hate Spike, Sheen(Lich Bane) is used on 100%.
2.Boots of Mobility: I think that this is a must. They give u gr8 speed for escape or gangs.
3.Abyssal Scepter: Good AP and Magic resist that u need for better defense . And low magic resist is always useful.
4.Zhonya's Ring: Top AP bonus in the game. And gives u immortality for a while.
5.Deathfire Grasp : Deals magic damage to target champion equal to 30% of their current health (+3.5% per 100 Ability Power) with a minimum of 200 damage

Are you listening GM? Ferrari is now marketing their new Ferrari California and they are aiming at women....who have two hundred grand to blow on a car! Here in America we have thousands of women fitting that profile, right? Forget bailing out any American car maker, I say. Just build an impractical, over-priced maintenence diva of a car and sell it to the American woman! And then wait for the inevitable screaming hissy fits about a car that runs just three weeks of every four. There won't be any car makers left to bail out! Problem solved. Oh what fun we'll have when HER car is PMSing! Men, just remember not to walk in open car accessable areas on those days. Otherwise, we'll experience a mass MALE extinction event. Don't forget, we're all on own out there.

Those who like their gaming on the big stage can do so now with the top of the range FUS1ON Tournament Controller made by the guys at PowerA, which is set to release later in the year.

After extensive testing and rounds of refinement on each individual element, we designed a brand-new, best-in-class controller from the ground up. With the PowerA FUS1ON Tournament Controller, every gamer can now have that competitive edge.
Key features of this controller include:
- Analog Control: Finely tuned analog modules offer improved response and accuracy.
- Custom Analog Stick Design: Engineered to eliminate thumb fatigue during extended play.
- Precision D-Pad: Pro gamer inspired design for precise 8-way control.
- Durable Action Buttons: Extensive testing and high quality materials for improved accuracy and longevity.
- Multi-Color Illumination: Controller accents and analog sticks feature multi-color illumination effects.
- Interchangeable Grips: Two sets of interchangeable ergonomic grips – Soft Touch and Matte – offer multiple styles of comfort.
- Braided 9.8 Foot Cord: Wired for regulation tournament play; stay competitive and avoid latency.
- Protective Travel Case: Stores and protects the FUS1ON Tournament Controller while gamers light up the gaming circuit.

Join the order of the high priestesses and rule your crew with this powerful necklace. (No treasure, weapons or tattoos required.)
Slice of peruvian opal attached to aniqued brass chain. 18 inches in total length, and fastens with a lobster claw clasp.

St. Ignatius is a parish of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America. The archdiocese is part of the ancient and venerable Patriarchate of Antioch the Great City-of-God, and all the East, founded by the Foremost of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul. Our Patriarch is THE MOST BLESSED JOHN X (Yazigi) who was elected 166th successor of the Holy Apostle Peter in 2012. He resides at the Patriarchal compound located on the Biblical "Street Called Straight" in the Old City of Damascus, Syria. The Patriarchal Cathedral of the Dormition of the Theotokos is located at this same compound. His Beatitude presides over our Holy Synod, the Council of all Metropolitans of the See of Antioch throughout the world. The Metropolitan of our Archdiocese is a member of the Holy Synod. As children of the Antiochian See, one of the five ancient Patriarchates, we share a glorious history of witnessing to and evangelizing for the Holy Trinity.
The Primate of our Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America is THE MOST REVEREND METROPOLITAN JOSEPH, who resides at our Archdiocesan headquarters in Englewood, New Jersey. His Cathedral is St. Nicholas in Brooklyn, New York, the "mother parish" of our Archdiocese (being founded in 1895). His Eminence is assisted by diocesan Bishops who reside in chanceries located in various areas of the Archdiocese.
Our Archdiocese has jurisdiction over all Antiochian Orthodox Christian parishes, missions and institutions in both the United States and Canada. It is divided into seven geographic dioceses: New England with its Cathedral of St. George in Worcester, Massachusetts; Eastern with its Cathedral of St. Nicholas in Brooklyn, New York; Southeast with its Cathedral of St. George in Miami, Florida; Canadian-American; Midwest with its Cathedral of St. George in Toledo, Ohio; Western with its Cathedral of St. Nicholas in Los Angeles, California; and Southwest with its Cathedral of St. George in Wichita, Kansas. St. Ignatius is part of the Southeast Region. St. Ignatius Antiochian Orthodox Church was born out of the search of a determined group of individuals who desired to experience the fullness of God's Holy Church. That search culminated in the reception by Chrismation of its members into the Antiochian Orthodox church by Metropolitan PHILIP on February 21, 1987.

COMMODORE INTERNATIONAL LTD. said Friday that its major lenders have given it more time, through February, to renegotiate loan agreements for which it is already in technical default. Commodore`s lenders previously had granted the company one waiver, which expired Friday. The arrival of that deadline had triggered speculation on Wall Street that Commodore might seek court protection under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws. The West Chester, Pa., company`s common stock fell $1 a share, or 13 percent, to $6.75 on the New York Stock Exchange on Friday after losing $1.87 over the two previous sessions.
DEPOSITS AT S&Ls insured by the federal government fell $2.2 billion in December, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board said Friday. The December decline in net new deposits followed a $1.4 billion increase in November and was part of a $4.8 billion drop for 1985 - a sharp turnaround from 1984 when deposits grew by $56.9 billion. However, the U.S. League of Savings Institutions said it expected 1985 earnings at thrifts to exceed the previous record of $3.9 billion set in 1978.
PRATT & WHITNEY, a division of United Technologies Corp. of Connecticut, has been awarded a $171.8 million Air Force contract for a retrofit of Pratt`s F100 jet engine, it was announced on Friday. The work will be performed at Pratt`s Connecticut plants. Pratt & Whitney`s Government Products Division is located in Palm Beach County but will not be involved in the retrofit. Another unit of United Technologies, Sikorsky Aircraft, was awarded a $27.5 million contract Friday for development of an SH-60F helicopter for the Navy. Sikorsky has a commercial helicopter facility in Palm Beach County, which will not be active in the Navy project, a company spokesman said.
PEOPLE EXPRESS AIRLINES of Newark, N.J. said Friday that it has tentatively agreed to provide Provincetown-Boston Airline of Naples, Fla., with a desperately needed cash infusion and to eventually buy the troubled commuter carrier. PBA`s secured creditors agreed to pump an additional $500,000 into the carrier, People Express said Friday. People also said it has agreed to provide as much as $700,000 in additional loans to PBA. The deal must be approved by PBA`s creditors and a bankruptcy judge.

SITA is encouraging members of the community to learn about and provide input into a proposal to upgrade essential waste management and recycling infrastructure at the Lucas Heights Resource Recovery Park.
Phil Carbins, SITA's Project Director, explained that the project is in the early stage of the planning process and that community feedback will inform the planning proposal, expected to be submitted to the Department of Planning and Environment next year.
"We have worked with Sutherland Shire Council and ANSTO to develop initial plans for the project and we are now seeking community input to assist in the development of the planning documentation.
"We are encouraging members of the community to come along to one of our information sessions, visit the project website, call us or send us an email. We've sent out 10,000 project brochures to residents in Menai, Engadine, Barden Ridge and Woronora Heights to keep the local community informed and we are also offering tours of the facility for anyone who is interested," Mr Carbins said.
Mr Carbins emphasised that SITA is getting the community involved at this early stage to help inform the proposal, but that there will be further opportunity for community input once the proposal has been submitted. "Once we submit our planning documentation to the Department of Planning and Environment, statutory community consultation will take place. During this time, members of the community and other stakeholders can provide submissions to the Department which will be addressed as part of the Environmental Impact Statement."
The Lucas Heights upgrades are necessary to ensure Sydney's waste can continue to be managed sustainably. "Landfill capacity in Sydney is quickly decreasing. Although more waste is being recycled, there is still a need to find additional landfill capacity and it makes sense to find it at an existing facility," Mr Carbins said.
"We recognise our activities take place within the existing Sutherland community and this is a key consideration for us. We are making improvements to manage odours better and when Lucas Heights closes, the site will be rehabilitated and returned to the community as parklands for everyone to enjoy."
He added, "SITA is also contributing $100 million in funding over 15 years to Sutherland Shire Council to be used for community projects in the Shire."
Feedback on the Lucas Heights proposal can be provided via email or phone and three community information sessions are being held in the first week of December. Community members are invited to drop in to one of the sessions to learn about the project and provide feedback any time between:
For more information, to have your say on the proposal or to request a site tour, please visit www.sita.com.au/lucasheights. You can also email feedback to email@example.com or phone the project team on 1800 810 680.

Fresh off his angelic Burger King commercial, UFC Middleweight Champ Anderson Silva recently appeared on Brazilian talk show Agora e' Tarde to sing a duet with comedian/co-host Danilo Gentili. Apparently after dominating every possible contender in the middleweight division, "The Spider" must have his eyes set on the Grammy's these days. Though the performance was less than stellar, the good news is that Anderson can still consult long time hero Steven Seagal for advice in this department as well.

Sport Science: Jon Jones by ESPN
ESPN's Sports Science recently devoted a segment to current UFC Light Heavyweight Champ Jon Jones and boy, did they pull the rug out from underneath us. Turns out, Jon Jones is a near inhuman force who redefines the term "Superman Punch". Who would've guessed? Host/human porcupine John Brenkus informs us that "Bones" has the wingspan of your average prehistoric bird of prey, and can throw spinning elbows strikes at faster speeds than an Apache helicopter can spin its blades. But if The A-Team taught us anything, it's that Rampage Jackson is more than versed in helicopter warfare.

Fish In A Tie, SW11 2PF

- 105 Falcon Road, SW11 2PF (streetmap) (osm) (gmap) (bingmap) (streetview)
- fishinatie.com
A reasonably sized and distinctively named restaurant just around the corner from Clapham Junction Station. It's spread over two and a half levels.
The decor is very 'bistro', with dribbly candles in bottles, except that they're JD and Bailey's bottles instead of the usual basketed Chianti. It's rather cosy as they don't half pack the customers in, and when Robbie visited on a Tuesday night in late-2006 it was absolutely packed.
There are two menus, one of which is the regular menu and the other a 'specials' menu. Mains are almost all around £7-8 with a couple in the £10 range. Appetisers are between £2 and £5 though mostly at the £4 mark.
The restaurant doesn't seem to bill itself as Italian, but looks and feels like an Italian restaurant, with a very strong leaning toward seafood. Starters include asparagus wrapped in salmon, potato wedges, pasta, crab in choux pastry and a risotto marinara. There are many more I can't remember. Mains include roast knuckle of lamb, fillet of sea bass, ostrich steak and the 'Fish in a Tie plate'. There's a selection of desserts too, all reasonably priced, including the 'Black Tulip' - a crispy pancake with various fruit and things inside.
Robbie had the Wild Risotto Marinara to start, and it was almost too big for an appetiser. It included mussels, clams, squid, a very large prawn and octopus in a tasty tomato and chilli sauce with perfectly cooked rice. Highly recommended, though it is about the most expensive thing on the starters menu. My main was the Fish in a Tie plate, which was another seafood medley, similar to the above but with larger bits of everything, plus salmon and another fish and more prawn, all in a white wine, cream and ginger sauce. My dessert was profiteroles, which were very large and sadly slightly over-baked, but very generously filled with cream. I think the chocolate was sauce from a bottle sadly. It was the only minor disappointment of an otherwise tasty evening.
The service was perfect and prompt, so we didn't resent them adding on the 10% service charge for us. We even left more because we were so impressed.
Overall, three courses with a couple of glasses of the house wine came out at about £20-£25 per head including service and a bit extra on the tip. Highly recommended, especially if you like fish.

Pyrethrum, any of certain plant species of the genus Tanacetum, native to southwestern Asia, whose aromatic flower heads, when powdered, constitute the active ingredient in the insecticide called pyrethrin, or pyrethrum. The plants were formerly considered a separate genus, Pyrethrum. The typical species, the perennial T. coccineum, is the florists' pyrethrum, commonly called painted lady. Large deep rose-coloured petals surrounding the yellow centre, or disk, are borne on long simple stems above the crown of finely cut leaves. Modern varieties exhibit various colours—white, lilac, and shades of red.
The powdered flower heads of T. coccineum, T. cinerariifolium, and T. marschalli are chief sources of the insecticide. The active substances in pyrethrum are contact poisons for insects and cold-blooded vertebrates. The concentrations of pyrethrum powder used in insecticides are nontoxic to plants and higher animals; therefore, these insecticides find wide use in household and livestock sprays as well as in dusts for edible plants.

Latinos now a quarter of Oregon first-graders
PORTLAND — New state figures show that Latinos now make up a quarter of Oregon's first-grade enrollment, and the state has eight districts in which Latinos are a majority, according to new figures from the Oregon Department of Education.
Over the past four years, Latino enrollment in Oregon public schools has grown by 15,000 students, to 125,000, while white enrollment has dropped by nearly 16,000, to 364,000, The Oregonian reported in a story about the release Tuesday of the statistics.
Latinos make up a larger proportion of Oregon's youngest students than its high school population, which is 20 percent Latino.
Statewide, public school enrollment grew about half a percent this school year, to 567,000. But more than 40 percent of school districts shrank, including Beaverton, Eugene and Springfield.
Portland, the state's largest district by far, added more than 500 students, or a little more than 1 percent, to exceed the 47,000 mark. Beaverton, the third largest behind Salem-Keizer, shrank by 55 students to about 39,400.
North Clackamas schools grew by 20 students, to 17,000 and surpassed Eugene to become Oregon's fifth largest district.
Eugene schools shrank by about 150 students, or 1 percent, dipping below 16,900.
Bend-La Pine schools added more than 250 students. That put the central Oregon school district within striking range of surpassing Eugene as well.
Information from: The Oregonian, http://www.oregonlive.com
