In defense of coffee heretics
Posted by TheShot on 01 Feb 2012 | Tagged as: Add Milk, Consumer Trends, Quality Issues
When Trish Rothgeb (née Skeie) first coined the term "Third Wave," it was supposed to be about enjoying coffee for its own sake. But reading some of the articles posted about coffee in the popular presses lately, we wonder if any Third Wave is really more about purging heretics and enforcing an orthodoxy over a mythical "one, true way" to make and appreciate coffee.
There's the Wall Street Journal heralding the abolition of any coffee roasted darker than a City roast. We've got coffee lovers freaking out over whether their French press tastes are all wrong and that they must be exclusively replaced with pour-over methods. And we have former baristas evangelizing that anyone who likes milk or sugar in their coffee are simply doing it wrong (or, as the article implies, they're drinking bad coffee). We haven't seen this many rules and regulations being imposed upon the public enjoyment of consumables since the invention of the Jewish kashrut dietary laws.
We may have defended the coffee Nazi in their time of need. But we have to draw the line when a purveyor's personal quirks are declared as rules that extend to all coffee.
orthodoxy: 1580s, from Gk. orthodoxos "having the right opinion," from orthos "right, true, straight" + doxa "opinion, praise"
And here's the real absurdity in all that. Coffee has thousands of flavor and aromatic components. It comes in a diverse array of varietals with unique terroir and flavor profiles reflecting its thousands of points of origin around the world. There are an untold number of ways to process it, roast it, and brew it. Yet we have pundits and experts promoting the idea that coffee is somehow this singular, monolithic commodity — like CocaCola out of a spigot — that can only be properly roasted only one way, brewed only one way, and appreciated as a consumer only one way. Getting the most out of your coffee is not the same as Obsessive-compulsive Disorder.
Coffee professionals who tell us that coffee can only be properly roasted this side of a City roast are just as narrow-minded in their thinking as the people who told us for years that dark roasts were the ideal. Some coffees shine under lighter roasting conditions, while others taste grassy and have none of the body that their pedigree would otherwise offer. Those who tell us that coffee should never be adulterated with milk not only throw our enjoyment of cappuccinos and flat whites under the bus, but they limit our appreciation to only those forms of coffee that taste good without milk.
Given all of its glorious variety, coffee is best optimized with different roasts, different brewing methods, and even different condiments (or the lack thereof) to uniquely suit its unique character — and not just its unique consumer. Celebrate its diversity, and call us heretics.

The evangelist above says in the headline specifically TO taste coffee with milk (and also without milk).
Who, exactly, is saying that coffee should under no circumstances be consumed with milk?
Great post!

Orthodox Christian Network wrote:
Seasoned Washington insiders say they've never seen anything like it.
Sen. Ted Cruz, a high-profile speaker at The IDC Summit for Middle East Christians in Washington, D.C., was booed off the stage last night by a gathering of religious and political leaders concerned about the persecution of Christians in the Middle East.
What led to this unexpected outcome?
Near the beginning of his address, Cruz implied that the government of Syria was no better than ISIS or al-Qaida, and that "we shouldn't try to parse different manifestations of evil that are on a murderous rampage through the region."
He then insisted that "Christians have no greater ally than Israel," at which point members of the crowd began to yell "stop it" and booed him.
Given his comments, and his response to the people who reacted by booing, it appears Cruz has no meaningful exposure to the actual experience of Middle Eastern Christians, nor does it seem he is even aware that there are millions of Middle Eastern Christians (and Jews, for that matter) who are strongly opposed to the official political and military policies of the modern state of Israel.
The phrase that ignited the disagreement is particularly telling: "Christians have no greater ally than Israel."
What kind of worldview or theological bias would allow for such a statement? Only one that presumes there is a definite conformity between the needs and desires of Christians everywhere and the Middle East policy of the United States of America. It seems to me, in other words, that when Ted Cruz says "Christians have no greater ally than Israel," he really means that "America has no greater ally than Israel" — and that the subjects of those two sentences are identical in his mind.
Such an idea, so disconnected from the personal suffering and experiences of the actual Christians who live in the Middle East, found little sympathy in a Washington, D.C. ballroom crowded with Christians from Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, and surrounding lands.
Fr. Christopher Metropulos, the Executive Director of the Orthodox Christian Network and a Greek Orthodox priest from Florida, was in attendance.
"I have never seen anything like this before," Fr. Chris said. "Clearly, Cruz was out of his league and didn't know the audience he was speaking to. They were highly offended by what he said, and, rather than backing off, he just kept digging in his heels. A huge mistake, leading to a sour moment in what was a very good conference."
To learn more about the experience of Middle Eastern Christians, please listen to Fr. Chris' interview with His Eminence Metropolitan Joseph of the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of North America. Members of Metropolitan Joseph's family have been killed and wounded in the current crisis, and he notes that nearly every family in his American Archdiocese has been impacted in some way. "We cannot accept the Middle East without Christians," the Metropolitan says. "That would be an unforgivable crime."
Ted Cruz is firmly in the pocket of AIPAC, bought and paid for. That he would take the lectern with no concern at all for the struggles of the churches of the Middle East (against ISIS, yes, but also against a number of other hostile and repressive governments including those of Egypt and Israel), is hardly a surprise to me. It's somewhat amusing, though, to watch the Tea Party brain-deads fall over themselves praising Cruz as 'principled' and possessing 'character' for parroting to a marginal and fairly poor group exactly what the entire Washington foreign policy establishment (Democrats and Republicans) has believed all along.

Quarterly Markets Review - Q3 2015
A look back at markets in Q3 2015 when a slowdown in China sparked concern over the global growth outlook and led to significant stockmarket volatility.
Q3 highlights
- Global equities declined amid worries about the economic slowdown in China and the implications for global growth. Emerging market equities underperformed developed markets.
- The US Federal Reserve's decision to defer 'lift off' of interest rates was a key moment in the quarter and exacerbated the sense of uncertainty in markets.
- In the eurozone, the autos sector came under severe pressure after revelations that VW had misled regulators on emissions from diesel vehicles.
- Japanese equities suffered amid weaker-than-expected data for Japan's economy. Stocks were further pressured as the yen saw inflows due to its perceived 'safe haven' status.
- Weak Chinese economic data was a drag on emerging markets while Brazil was also a focus as S&P Ratings downgraded the country's debt to non-investment grade.
- The third quarter was broadly positive for global bonds, as commodity price weakness and fears over global economic growth led investors to seek out 'safe havens'.

Big data is all the rage, and many organizations are hell bent on putting their data to use. Despite the big data hype, however, 92% of organizations are still stuck in neutral, either planning to get started "some day" or avoiding big data projects altogether. For those that do kick off big data projects, most fail, and frequently for the same reasons.
It doesn't have to be this way.
[Want more big data advice on staffing? Read Data Scientists: Stop Searching, Start Grooming. ]
The key to big data success is to take an iterative approach that relies on existing employees to start small and learn by failing early and often.
Herd mentality
Big data is a big deal. According to Gartner, 64% of organizations surveyed in 2013 had already purchased or were planning to invest in big data systems, compared with 58% of those surveyed in 2012. More and more companies are diving into their data, trying to put it to use to minimize customer churn, analyze financial risk, and improve the customer experience.
Of that 64%, 30% have already invested in big data technology, 19% plan to invest within the next year, and another 15% plan to invest within two years. Less than 8% of Gartner's 720 respondents, however, have actually deployed big data technology.
That's bad, but the reason for the failure to launch is worse: Most companies simply don't know what they're doing when it comes to big data.
It's no wonder that so many companies are spending a small fortune to recruit and hire data scientists, with salaries currently averaging $123,000.
8 ways to fail
Because so many organizations are flying blind with their data, they stumble in predictable ways (including thinking that a data scientist will magically solve all their problems, but more on that below). Gartner's Svetlana Sicular has catalogued eight common causes of big data project failures, including:
Throughout this list, one common theme emerges: As much as we might want to focus on data, people keep getting in the way. As much as we might want to be ruled by data, people ultimately rule the big data process, including making the initial decisions as to which data to collect and keep, and which questions to ask of it.
Innovate by iterating
Because so many organizations seem hamstrung in their attempts to start a big data project, coupled with the likelihood that most big data projects will fail, it's imperative to take an iterative approach to big data. Rather than starting with a hefty payment to a consultant or vendor, organizations should look for ways to set their own employees free to experiment with data.
A "start small, fail fast" approach is made possible, in part, by the fact that nearly all significant big data technology is open source. What's more, many platforms are immediately and affordably accessible as cloud services, further lowering the bar to trial-and-error.
Big data is all about asking the right questions, which is why it's so important to rely on existing employees. But even with superior domain knowledge, organizations still will fail to collect the right data and they'll fail to ask pertinent questions at the start. Such failures should be expected and accepted.
The key is to use flexible, open-data infrastructure that allows an organization's employees to continually tweak their approach until their efforts bear real fruit. In this way, organizations can eliminate the fear and iterate toward effective use of big data.

Oh how they laughed when I announced on my Twitter that my Shills Bust Exfoliator had arrived.
WHAT FOR!? they cried.
Because I love find weird and wonderful stuff, thats WHY!
Shills, a Taiwanese brand will a rather interesting and exciting range of skincare and make up has become my new Skinfood.
When I saw the words Bust Exfoliator I clicked Buy before I could even see what the product was…
Ok – in my defence this product is not as wacky as it sounds. This product basically for the underarms and areas that have unsightly, dark, rough skin. Why is called a Bust Exfoliator then? Dunno. Its a free world!
Arm pits (they are pits after all) have a tendency to be dark and sometimes rough because of course we shave there and spray lots of irritating deodorants on the area.
I don't worry about my arm pits, because quite frankly, I don't go waving my arms in the hair like I just don't care that often.
If you saw a woman posing like this in the street, wouldn't you just run up to her and give her a tickle? Provided she wasn't sweaty…
So whats in this? They say:
An Exfoliator which easily removes rough pores and black aftershave dots at underarms! This soft, gentle and fine exfoliator deeply removes dead skin below your arms and on the chest. It whitens skin, enhances moisture levels and improves skin elasticity.
With added Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Gingko extract, Aloe extract and Pueraria Mirifica Herbal Powder Extract to help refine pores, balances sensitive skin and improves skin elasticity around underarms and bust.
The scrub itself is quite a rich foamy texture with little scrubby beads in it.
You can use this scrub on other affected areas where you may shave like your legs, knees, chest area if you have large pores there etc. etc. etc.
I was concerned about how gentle this would be. I have sensitive arm pits as it is (I avoid a lot of deodorants because itchy pits is not very nice). However I used this with little problem…I used it in the shower, left it for a minute or two then gave it a scrub.
Good idea to scrub under the pits anyway, since ingrown hair must be rife round there!
Here it is (no you can not see my arm pits):
Much brighter, and smoother – can you see? Quite happy with this result, I think its rather nice and with no adverse effect on me, I will be continue using this especially for the summer.
I think this may be a good product for ladies who tend to suffer from the little black dots after shaving, I think this would really clear your skin up (superficially anyway).
You get 100ml and you use it 1-2 times a week
Hydrolyzed soy protein, Gingko extract, Aloe extract, Pueraria Mirifica Herbal Powder Extract, Long-effect moisturizing factor, Arbutin, Hyaluronate, Chamomile extract, Vitamin B3 derivatives, Allantoin, Aloe extract, White tea, BIOWHITE, White mulberry extract, Saxifrage extract, Scutellaria extract and Grape extract.

'Bedroom tax' tenants in appeal bid
%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%Five disabled tenants are asking the Court of Appeal to declare the Government's so-called "bedroom tax" regulations unlawful.
The regulations, introduced in April last year, have led to reductions in housing benefit payments to tenants in social housing assessed through controversial "size criteria" to be under-occupying their accommodation.
Campaigners say the regulations have had a "devastating" impact on many people.
Backed by the Equality and Human Rights Commission, lawyers for the five are arguing in test cases of national importance that the regulations have disproportionately discriminated against the disabled.
Martin Westgate QC told three appeal judges today the regulations were imposing an "excessive and unfair burden" and failing to reflect the actual needs for accommodation of disabled people.
The appeal, expected to last three days, is against a High Court decision in July last year upholding the legality of the new regulations.
Mr Westgate accused the High Court judges of allowing themselves to be deflected from properly considering the key issues in the case, taking "too deferential" an approach and failing to scrutinise the Government regulations properly.
He said: "If the High Court had applied the correct approach it would have been bound to have found the discrimination in these cases was disproportionate and imposed an excessive and unfair burden on a vulnerable class of tenants."
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) rejects the ''bedroom tax'' tag and says the reality is that ''a spare room subsidy'' has been removed from social sector tenants.
It says local councils are being given discretionary housing payment funding so that they can help vulnerable residents with all the welfare housing reforms, including disabled people affected by the removal of the spare-room subsidy.
Mr Westgate argued today the discretionary payments system created uncertainty, there was evidence from local councils that the amount set aside for payments was inadequate and the scheme was not a reasonable response.
He told Lord Dyson, Master of the Rolls, sitting with Lord Justice Longmore and Lord Justice Ryder, the scheme of discretionary payments was not appropriate to replace "what would otherwise be a long-term benefit to which someone qualifies as of right".
Under the new size criteria, tenants with one spare bedroom have had a payment reduction of 14% and those deemed to have two or more spare a reduction of 25%.
Charities, social landlords and advice agencies have all condemned the system for the devastating harm they say it has caused to many.
But the DWP says reduction of rising housing benefit expenditure is lawful and a legitimate and ''integral aspect'' of the Government's deficit reduction programme. The change in regulations is expected to produce savings of £500m a year.
A DWP spokeswoman said: "We remain confident that we have fulfilled our equality duties to disabled people with the policy.
"Reform of housing benefit in the social sector is essential, so the taxpayer does not pay for people's extra bedrooms.
"But we have given councils £190m of extra funding this year to help those who need it."
Ugo Hayter, a lawyer from Leigh Day, which is one of the law firms bringing the appeal, said: ''We are very confident that the Court of Appeal will see that the decision to implement this legislation by the
Government was clearly discriminatory and will overturn last year's ruling by the High Court.
"It is a cruel and deeply disturbing benefit cut which hits the most vulnerable in society."
Anne McMurdie, from Public Law Solicitors, said: "This case is about fairness. It is about disabled people being paid housing benefit to meet the size and type of accommodation they need because of their disabilities and not being financially penalised because they are disabled."
She added: "Since the benefit change was implemented in April 2013 there has been a wealth of research and analysis making clear the serious adverse impact on disabled people."

Yu Darvish says he won't play in the World Baseball Classic next year.
The Texas Rangers right-hander and Japanese star released a statement Tuesday, saying he made the decision after much deliberation, including consultation with his coaches and trainers.
Darvish says the most important thing for him is to get ample rest while preparing for the 2013 season. He cited his substantial workload over the last few years and changes he endured moving to play in the United States.
During the 2009 World Baseball Classic when Japan won for the second time in a row, Darvish was 2-1 with a 2.08 ERA with 20 strikeouts in 13 innings.
Darvish says his ultimate goal is to win a World Series with the Rangers. He also thanked everyone for "their understanding with his decision."

"If Jeb Bush's name were Jeb Smith, he'd be the next president of the United States," says Texas Governor Rick Perry and then there's a long pause in the conversation to let pass the unspoken corollary: "And if Rick Perry were the governor of Florida…"
It wouldn't be a piece about Rick Perry's "maybe, possibly, but I'll never admit to it" flirtations with running for national office if it didn't include a reference to the last Texas governor who ran for President and won. And Perry makes few bones about his dislike of his predecessor, former Pres. George W. Bush in a soon to be published essay in the National Review.
Kevin Williamson writes that Perry isn't all that interested in a presidential run, not because he doesn't want to run for President. Instead, it's because he doesn't think he would be able to win, a summation that he seems to blame on the unpopularity of former President George W. Bush.
But that's something that could change if Republican activists attempted to draft him for a White House run, Williamson reports in the piece.
While Perry appears to have steered away from directly addressing his bitter primary battle with Kay Bailey Hutchison, Williamson takes the matter head on.
"W. stayed well away from Perry's gubernatorial-primary melee against Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, whose oatmeal-mushy Republicanism has a distinctly Bushian savor to it," he writes.

A. V. Alvensleben
*1984 in Swakopmund, Namibia
Albrecht von Alvensleben's works are moving at the intersection between design, photography and architecture. As a student of Zaha Hadid and Greg Lynn, he could develop his interest for architecture at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. From 2009 to 2010 Albrecht von Alvensleben studied at New York City's Cooper Union School of Architecture with a full tuition scholarship. The imprint for applied arts, which was mediated at university, can be found throughout the works of Alvensleben – the focus on design, interior fitting and architecture give prove of that. At the Moment Albrecht von Alvensleben works and lives in Berlin.

As part of the ad buy, Twentieth Century Fox and Regency Enterprises will promote their upcoming theatrical release, DECK THE HALLS, where WE tv viewers will be offered an exclusive sneak preview of the film along with interviews with stars, Danny DeVito and Mathew Broderick.
"Twentieth Century Fox and Regency Enterprises's latest ad buy reinforces WE tv's value in providing sponsorship packages that make sense for advertisers looking to target their brand to a wide ranging audience of women," said Arlene Manos, President of Rainbow National Network Advertising Sales. "With the holiday season upon us, we look forward to offering our audience a sneak peak into Fox's new comedy DECK THE HALLS."
On Sunday, November 19th from 8:00 PM EST throughout midnight, WE tv will air an Unwrapping Macy's marathon where Fox Studios will promote their new theatrical release DECK THE HALLS, a film about two neighbors in a small New England town who collide when one decides to decorate his house for the holidays so brightly it can be seen from space. The movie, starring Mathew Broderick, Danny DeVito, Kristin Davis, and Kristin Chenoweth, arrives in theatres November 22nd.
As part of the sponsorship agreement, Twentieth Century Fox and Regency Enterprises will receive an integrated brand campaign that will include on-air and online presence. On-air will feature customized wraps, with interviews with the stars and branded billboards. WE tv has also created an integrated promotional spot highlighting exclusive sneak peek clips from DECK THE HALLS and from Unwrapping Macy's - both depicting the madness that goes into holiday planning. The promotional spot will drive tune-in, highlight common elements between the film and the series and tease to special DECK THE HALLS wraps that will air around the marathon. Online will further promote the movie release by featuring customized banners driving to clips of both the wraps and the trailer hosted on WE tv's broadband site.
Unwrapping Macy's is a half-hour series that follows real-life employees at the biggest department store in the nation, Macy's Herald Square in New York City, to see what goes on behind the scenes. From store publicists and security guards, to window dressers and balloon handlers it takes hundreds of dedicated individuals to make Macy's shine. Over eight episodes join WE tv and look beyond the windows, the parade, the star studded events and see what it really takes to make the doors to America's department store open every day. Viewers will also get a front row seat and get ready for Thanksgiving with an inside look at the preparations for Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade during the mini-marathon of WE tv's original series. Unwrapping Macys premiered on WE tv in September of 2006 and is produced by True Entertainment.
Original programming has garnered record ratings success for WE tv. 3Q06 tied with 3Q02 as the best 3Q in the history of the network for HH ratings (.29) and its best 3Q yet for HH delivery at 173K.

Not a great idea promoting him, but not the worst I've ever heard. Although Johnson is a better slogger than Harmy and he got 0 at no3.

FOXBOROUGH, MA – Blake Brettschneider and Branko Boskovic each factored in three of D.C. United reserve's goals in the visitors' 4-1 victory over the New England Revolution reserves on Saturday at Gillette Stadium in Major League Soccer's reserve league.
The Revs struck early, with Ilija Stolica – assisted by Chris Tierney – scoring New England's lone goal in the first minute of play.
United dominated for the remainder of the match, with Boskovic netting his first goal – assisted by Stephen King – in the 18th minute. Boskovic then assisted two of Brettschneider's goals, first in the 34th minute and again in the 43rd. D.C.'s final goal came in the 69th minute, when Marcus Salandy-Defour emerged from a scramble in the box to finish Brettschneider's service.
The two teams used a combined four players from their youth development programs. The Revs featured defender Mitch Taintor as a starter and midfielder Yannick Kabala and midfielder Dominik Machado as substitutes. D.C. United ran out Cody Albrecht as a second-half substitute.
New England (0-1-0, 0 pts.) next travels to Columbus to face the Crew's reserves on May 9 and United (2-0-0, 6 pts.) visits Toronto FC on April 17.

After church on August 31, Judy and I drove to Lacombe to join in the celebrating of the 65th wedding anniversary of Evans and Myrtle Carson. Myrtle is my mother's youngest sister. She and Evans Carson were married in Antross, Alberta (a sawmill town that ceased to exist over 50 years ago) on August 27th, 1943. It was a wonderful family occasion. Evans and Myrt have always been willing to travel to family events, and it was nice to be able to reciprocate. They are warm, friendly and kind people, who find a lot of joy in life.

The boys all have their birthdays in November and December.
What am I saying? Everyone in our household has their birthday in November or December.
Except Yael.
She never fails to mention that her birthday is "last" - which makes sense if you live life by the Jewish calendar or in Yael's world, where all the birthdays come in rapid-fire succession. We've tried hard to explain and convince her that her birthday is actually first. Sigh.
Either way, my little girl is now six years old!
Six! That's a big number.
And of course, with two older brothers and a younger one, she is her own unique blend of awesome.
She is fun and funny, able to make up intense creative imaginings that keep her busy for hours.
Her emotions are loud and powerful, and she feels a need to make her presence known.
She is amazing with her little brother and totally worships her big brothers.
Except when they make her crazy and she heads into her "office" for a little alone time.
Happy birthday to my sweet girl....

Commercial aircraft design, engineering, manufacturing, and sales is one of the principal sectors of the U.S. aerospace industry.
And as is the case throughout the U.S. aerospace industry, successful commercial products often are the result of collaborative efforts among airframe, engine, electronics, and other suppliers.
For example, the newest series of large commercial airliners may be designed and assembled by one company, but with engines supplied by a second company and electronics contributed by a third.
When it comes to the production of smaller business and private airplanes, buyers have several different U.S. companies - that produce either jet or propeller aircraft - from which to select a small or mid-sized plane that is best tailored to their needs.
In the days ahead, U.S. aircraft manufacturers and their suppliers will be looking for thousands of qualified, skilled employees who are aerospace engineers; aerospace engineering and operations technicians; and aircraft structure, surface, rigging, and systems assemblers.
These manufacturers, their parts suppliers, and other air transportation support companies are also going to require many trained aircraft and avionics mechanics and service technicians who can help maintain and repair existing aircraft engines, landing gear, instruments, pressured sections, and accessories - brakes, valves, pumps, and other systems.
Furthermore, all of these enterprises are going to need additional business, financial, information system, and administrative managers and staff.
Four sites have information on careers in the air sector of the aerospace industry. We highlight the sites and the content we think you'll find useful as you explore your career options in this area of aerospace.

Culprit # 1: Ankle sprains
The lowdown. If you've had one recently, you're in good company: An estimated 25,000 ankle sprains take place every day, according to the AAOS. They occur when your foot twists, rolls, or stretches beyond its normal range of motion, causing a possible tear in the ligaments there. This can happen during a run or even from something as innocuous as tripping over a curb—or stumbling in a pair of stilettos.
What it feels like. A sprain can range from grade 1 (you've got some tenderness and swelling, but can still walk) to grade 3, with swelling and pain so severe you can't put weight on your foot even after several days. If it's the latter, you'll need to see a doctor for a splint, possibly crutches, and even physical therapy. Although you may be tempted to blow off a sprain and just hobble around on it, don't: About 40 percent of all ankle sprains can lead to chronic pain, often because they don't heal properly.
The Rx. First 72 hours: Follow the RICE protocol—rest (keep off the sprain as much as you can and, if you must walk, use crutches), ice (for 20 minutes, four times a day), compression (use a bandage or an ACE wrap, available at drugstores, to immobilize and support your ankle), and elevation (keep your ankle propped up above your heart level as much as possible to minimize swelling).
After 72 hours: If swelling has gone down and you're putting weight on your foot again, you can do some light at-home strengthening exercises, provided they don't cause you any pain, says John Kennedy, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. Try ankle circles: Gently rotate the affected ankle in one direction, then in the other. Perform 10 reps, three to four times a day. On the other hand, "if there's no improvement within about three days, see your doctor for an exam and possibly an MRI," Dr. Kennedy says. A more severe sprain can damage the cartilage or lining of the joint, or bone can chip off, which, if untreated, can lead to early-stage arthritis."
After a week: You should be pain free and back to your normal activity if you had a mild (grade 1) sprain, Dr. Kennedy says. If you're still limping, though, do get in to see your doctor. You may have a grade 2 sprain—or worse—and will most likely need physical therapy to retrain those torn ligaments. "Otherwise, sprains will keep happening," Dr. Kennedy explains.

SAS and the National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling (NATSEM) contribute to Public Policy
Our research requires drawing from a large number of data sources and bringing them together to make sense of the insights. SAS is the key enabler in getting the accuracy in the answers we need.
Ben Phillips
Principal Research Fellow, NATSEM
The National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling (NATSEM) at the University of Canberra provides social and economic research to assist in improving public policy and providing new insights into Australian society. To enable this, NATSEM relies extensively on high-performance computing power to analyse a wide range of very complex data sources.
Since NATSEM was established in 1993, it has been a reputable source of economic and social policy research for government, business and community organisations. The research conducted contributes extensively to public policy across family and community services, regional and urban modeling, wealth and housing, income and health.
Over its nearly 20 years, NATSEM has relied extensively on the analytical capabilities of SAS to provide impartial, non-biased evidence to guide policy and decision making within government. The modeling and analytical research conducted by NATSEM ranges from simple data analysis of large data sets to developing complex models of the Australian tax and transfer system.
Ben Phillips, NATSEM Principal Research Fellow, says the high performance analytical capabilities provided by SAS are at the core of many of the products developed by NATSEM, offering a reliable and efficient solution.
"Research at NATSEM has made a significant contribution to policy development, especially in the areas of tax and welfare policy," said Phillips. "Our research has also discovered that a number of new policies have led to controversial results, often dispelling myths regarding their potential impact on Australian families."
Carbon pricing makes a difference
A recent NATSEM contribution to Australian public policy was around the recently introduced carbon price. Modeling the carbon price's impact on households is not a simple undertaking. To gauge the impact on households, NATSEM applied predicted price impacts to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Household Expenditure Survey, which provides expenditure information for more than 600 household items. The research also considered the introduction of the compensation scheme, which included personal income tax cuts and the introduction of more than 100 new payments, all of which have different eligibility requirements.
NATSEM used the advanced capabilities of SAS to work through the complex interactions of the carbon price and compensation scheme to identify which households were ahead and which were behind. This analysis was considered for a range of different household and family types, such as low-income and high-income households, couples, families with children and single-person households. What they found contrasted with the prevailing perception that the carbon price would increase household costs – with NATSEM discovering that 70 per cent of Australian households were actually better off as a result of the carbon price legislation.
"The findings demonstrated that the new carbon price, in tandem with the compensation scheme, actually had a positive impact on the majority of household costs," said Phillips. "While the compensation package leaves most households no worse off, the carbon price offers an incentive to shift investment and consumption away from high-pollution goods and services."
Australian incomes outpace costs
Another recent foray into public policy debate was in the AMP.NATSEM report Prices these days! The cost of living in Australia. With increasing electricity prices being a topic of considerable public interest recently, government agencies sought an accurate view of Australian incomes and expenditures.
To the surprise of many, research by NATSEM found that incomes in Australia had actually outpaced the cost of living by $224 per week over the second half of the last decade. It was found that most groups in society experienced strong gains in income beyond their respective cost of living.
In developing the results, NATSEM used SAS to analyse a complex and vast range of large data sets, such as the ABS expenditure surveys going back to 1984, detailed consumer price data from the ABS Consumer Price Index publication and income data from ABS surveys.
"Our research draws from a large number of complex data sources, bringing them together to gain valuable insights," said Phillips. "SAS is the key enabler in getting the accuracy in the answers we need."
Through its research, NATSEM has earned a reputation as a credible contributor to the social and economic policy debate, not only in Australia, but also on a global scale. SAS has been at the core of the research conducted by NATSEM and has enabled the organisation to draw from the widest variety of data available and offer an evidence-based approach to guiding public policy and wider discussions.
NATSEM needed a way to bring together a wide range of very complex data sources to drive insights for economic and social research to assist in improving public policy and providing new insight into Australian society.

Even ducks can drown if they don't develop resilience, business leaders learned at a Thursday workshop sponsored by the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce.
The good news is that there are tools for developing the ability to recover from misfortune or change that can translate into not only survival, but also thriving success, said leadership development specialist Maureen Orey, owner of the San Diego-based Workplace Learning and Performance Group.
She led a jeweler, a brewer and two recruiting specialists through the steps of turning challenges into opportunities for growth. Her message comes at a time when the recovering economy is fragile and business owners are still adjusting to changes in the market and federal health-care policies. And the message comes from a woman who launched her business in 2009 -- amid the Great Recession.
Orey told workshop attendees that no matter what the nature of the storm is, staying connected with other professionals, developing new products and services as the need arises, and keeping your eye on the goal are critical.
Using feathers and rubber duckies as props, she demonstrated how people running their own enterprises can learn a lot from the feathered swimmers, who have the built-in features to float without getting waterlogged but still have to groom those skills.
For ducks, that involves staying near their mothers in the early months so she can waterproof their feathers, then learning to preen themselves regularly when they develop their own oil glands.
In business, Orey said, resilience is about more than strength and simple survival.
The group together determined that resilience means being able to gauge your environment -- internally and externally. It means being willing to make decisions quickly. It means being teachable, adaptable and willing to try new things when the old ones aren't working anymore.
One of the most powerful tools that can be used toward that end is the fear of failure, Orey pointed out.
"The fear of failure can keep you from starting your business, and keep you going when you have one," she said.

One of the best things about Google's Gmail service is how well it keeps spam at bay. The email filters in Gmail are so good that it's jarring when some obvious spam gets past them and into your inbox. Gmail's filters put most other spam-blocking systems to shame.
On Tuesday, Google added a feature to Gmail that adds some transparency about how it handles spam. If you go into your Spam folder and click on one of the items there, you'll see an explanation as to why that email was kept from your inbox.
While the reasons remain vague – you're not shown a breakdown of how Google's algorithm made the determination – you will see one of five explanations.
• The suspect email may be classified as a phishing scam, in which it's trying to trick you into divulging sensitive or private information.
• It failed Google's sender-verification checks, and may be a "spoofed" mail that appears to come from a trusted company.
• It may contain language typical of spam, which seems to be the most common explanation you'll see.
• If your company is using Gmail, the email message may violate internally set policies.
• You clicked the Spam link in Gmail and sent it to the Spam folder yourself.
You can find a list of the possible messages as well as details about each classification here.
While perusing the Spam folder for this entry, I noticed a trick that spammers have started using to get around filters. Many of the suspect emails include a line suggesting that you click Gmail's "Not Spam" button to make sure the message hits your inbox.
Uh, yeah. Don't do that, OK?

Sister talks about Palosz, bullying
Sister of Bart Palosz says other students tormented Greenwich youth before his suicide
Bart Palosz was excited about his new Android cellphone. About week after he got it, a student in his freshman biology class picked it up and smashed it on the ground.
The bully cackled. Bart said nothing.
Bart said nothing when a bully pushed him down a staircase at Greenwich High School. Not a word when classmates shoved him into the thorny bushes every morning on his walk to school.
In silence, he endured verbal attacks from peers who picked on him for his uncommonly tall, 6-foot-3-inch stature. His Polish accent. His extra weight. The pimples on his face. When they had almost run out of names and insults, tears would brim in his eyes, inviting a new round of taunts.
On the last day of eighth grade, Bart's forehead was cut by the corner of a locker, sending him to the emergency room for stitches.
Students who witnessed the incident said a bully bashed the metal door into Bart's head on purpose. School administrators said it was an accident and refused to share video recorded by security cameras with the family.
Bart Palosz committed suicide Tuesday afternoon, using a family-owned shotgun that had been stored in a gun locker in the home, police said. He was 15.
The tales of a decade's worth of torment and the Greenwich public school district's failure to address it were told to a reporter Thursday by the victim's sister, Beata, who last saw her brother alive when he hugged her goodbye after dropping her off at her freshman dorm room six days ago.
"To be honest, I think he was a little afraid that he was not going to have me there anymore," said Beata, who would always sit with her brother in the high school cafeteria because he had no one else to eat lunch with. "We were pretty close, but either way, he never told me much."
What Bart did say on the morning he took his own life was that he didn't want to go to school. It was the first day of his sophomore year at Greenwich High School, and he complained repeatedly to his mom that he did not want to go.
After classes let out, Bart sent a text message to his mom listing the school supplies he needed. Binders. Notebooks. Pens. He also complained of a stomach ache. He said he felt like he was going to throw up.
Mom told Bart to let out Teddy, the family's fluffy papillon dog, and take a nap. When she checked on him in his bedroom that evening, she found him dead.
It wasn't until police directed Beata and her parents to Bart's page on the social media site Google+ that they learned he had spent the summer grappling with frequent, often violent, suicidal thoughts.
"We had no idea," said Beata, who is 18. "He didn't show us any signs. He was going through that teenage age where everything had to be his way. It had to be his way. But it wasn't anything that I didn't go through myself when I was his age.
"I would look at his computer sometimes because he left it unlocked sometimes and to check on him I would read his email. He was talking about happy things. It seemed like he had friends to talk to. I didn't think I needed to look further."
Bart's Google+ page tells the story of a sad and lonely kid. In between posts about anime characters and hunting for pheasants, he discussed his failed suicide attempts and the ceaseless bullying that precipitated them.
"Hey if I were to stab my eye out due to school caused insanity, who would miss me?" he wrote July 3 beside a photo of himself holding the tip of a knife to his pupil.
Four days later, Bart posted a goodbye note on the social network.
"I have chosen to go with 3 peoples (sic) advice and kill myself," he wrote, adding that he had just swallowed pills. "I just wish it was faster."
When other Google+ users in his network assured him his troubles would subside, he replied that he had been bullied at school every day for the last 10 years.
"I'm still alive," he reported the next day, "never trust my mind."
He then agreed with a user's request that he never attempt to kill himself again.
Such thoughts would not have been conceivable to the Palosz family when they immigrated to Connecticut from a town outside Krakow, Poland. They were coming for better opportunity and education. Bart was 4 years old.
Anna, a homemaker, and Frank, who owns a carpentry business, settled the family in Stamford. They enrolled Bart in kindergarten and karate classes. After their house was robbed, they relocated to a rental home in the Byram section of Greenwich, where they thought their kids would be safer and better-educated.
It did not work out that way.
In Greenwich, Bart was ostracized, bullied and belittled by his peers, Beata said.
Bart was quiet. Awkward. His classmates viewed him as a pushover. He made himself an easy target.
"He was really kindhearted," Beata said. "I think that's what kids don't understand and don't appreciate. Adults appreciate that. He acted very mature for his age.
"He didn't make fun or make jokes about other people. That's where the bullying started because he was mature enough to let it happen and not say anything. There were several instances where I heard from a friend, `Beata, something happened to Bart!' and I would have to talk to him and I'd say, `Bart, what happened?' and he would say `Oh, nothing.' I couldn't pull it out of him. I had to find out from people who saw it or heard about it and then I had to talk to whoever did it. I would say, `Do you think it's okay to do that? Do you really think that's OK?' "
Over the six years Bart was enrolled in the district, there were numerous occasions when Beata or her parents reached out to school administrators for help addressing Bart's bullies.
They wrote letters to guidance counselors. Exchanged emails with administrators. Set up meetings with teachers and principals.
"We would look for help for him," Beata said. "I don't think he ever even had an appointment with the school psychiatrist. It pretty much was, `Say you're sorry,' and that's it.
"I honestly do not think the school addressed the bullying. It could have saved him if they did."
When asked about the bullying Bart endured, Kim Eves, the school district's communications director, had little to say.
"This is an ongoing police investigation, and we're not permitted to provide any details about the case," she said.
Bart's funeral will be held at 3 p.m. Friday at The Holy Name of Jesus Church in Stamford, but the family is taking Bart's body to be buried in Poland. Bart was proud of his Polish roots -- unlike Beata, he never lost his native country's accent -- and it was one of few places he was happy, Beata said.
Bart had few friends, but he wasn't completely alone, Beata said. She often invited him out for a movie or an ice cream cone.
He spent a lot of time on the computer, playing video games and talking with friends and strangers on social networking websites. He liked water parks and volunteer work. Then there was Rocket, the pet gecko he cared for.
Bart also had goals for himself. He had hoped to study computer programming at New York University.
This summer, he lost weight by walking for an hour, three times a day. His acne started to clear up. He even started hanging around with people who seemed like genuine friends.
"He was ostracized, in my opinion, but it seemed like he had finally gotten in with some people," Beata said. "We thought he was getting happier."
But because of how he had been treated all his life he had a hard time nursing new relationships.
"When people tried to be friends with him, he was scared to open up to them," Beata said. "I think he thought they would do the same thing and treat him the same way everyone else did."

Decorating and Design Tips from Louise Brooks
Two words describe the design style of Louise Brooks: beautiful efficiency
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 17
Traditional Home has been showing houses and kitchens designed by Louise Brooks for more than 15 years. The Connecticut architectural designer founded her design business in 1988; the firm is now known as Brooks and Falotico. Her design talents are varied, but anyone renovating a house (and especially a kitchen) take note: She has a wonderful ability to reconfigure a space while keeping it appropriate to a home's design, using every square inch to great advantage.
Here are Louise's simple, creative tips for using space well and for giving your home a design lift.
Expand Your Storage Space
Grab some extra storage space when you need it with these handy retractable hanging rods. They stow away when not needed, but give you a visual reminder to bring in your dry cleaning when they are extended.
Clean up the Kitchen Counter
The under-counter paper-towel holder is an absolute must for every perfect kitchen. Built right into the cabinetry, it is at your fingertips for daily use, but is out of sight to keep your kitchen pristine.
Simplify Your Sink
Sometimes you just need an extra hand in the kitchen, or in this case, a foot. Add a foot pedal to your sink. It's a simple, inexpensive luxury that will make life easier.
Create the Best Home Bar
The family bartender always appreciates bottle storage that is easy to access. A 6-inch-deep and 6-inch-high bottle well along the back of the bar does just the trick. It hides the busy labels while keeping the liquor at hand for the next round of drinks.
Design with a Fountain of Fun
No longer just for school, a water fountain in your kitchen or mudroom is a great way to satisfy thirsty children running around on a hot day. It's the ultimate functional indulgence for the whole family—think how many dirty glasses it eliminates—and it's just plain fun.
Floor the Entry for Function
Recess a coco floor mat so that it is flush with your finish floor. This creates a neat, dirt-free, no hassle entry area.
Treat Your Dog to Special Digs
Your dog is a member of the family and deserves his own retreat. Include a comfortable built-in home for your best friend and you will no longer have to live with a bulky crate.
Hide Appliances in the Architecture
Ironing becomes a major chore when it involves locating, extracting and clumsily setting up the laundry board. Solve the space problem and the hassle in one go with this ironing board concealed in beadboard paneling.
Open up with a Glass Ceiling
Open up any room to the great outdoors with an elegant glass ceiling. The division and pattern of the glass can be coordinated with your home's design.
Conceal Computer Cables
Make unsightly computer cables a thing of the past by concealing them behind handsome wood paneling. This smart solution allows easy access but keeps your office looking tidy.
Brick up an Old World Look
Thin "English Pub" brick brings instant, cost-effective Old World charm to any space. We use it on floors and walls, and it looks great in the kitchen, mudroom, wine cellar, or billiards room.
Install a Unique Outdoor Shower
Nothing is more refreshing than a shower al fresco, and this special place requires special attention. Create a walled garden feel or bring the indoors out and make the outdoor shower a true extension of the bathroom.
Add Instant Age to Hardwood Floors
Looking for that warm, antiqued feel in your home? Edge rolling and hand planing of lumber flooring quickly creates the highly sought-after patina of age on new material.
Sensationalize Your Stair Railings
The stairs are an important architectural feature in any home that often go dismissed. Flat-sawn balusters are economical and allow plenty of opportunity for personalization.

text: As Chanel's Global Creative Director of Makeup, Peter Philips's instinct for trend forecasting is unmatched. Since his appointment in 2008, the Belgian beauty guru has rolled out one hit after another—from his limited-edition nail varnish Jade, which sold for a breathless $100 a bottle on eBay at its peak, to his "temporary tattoos," a project with Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel's spring 2010 show, which had a waiting list of 3,589 names before the designs went on sale. For today's film, directors Jauretsi and Crystal Moselle visited the onetime makeup artist at his Manhattan home to discuss his early memories of his mother, Irving Penn's light-sculpting ability, and the inspiration behind Philips's robot-themed animation for Chanel, which has its world premiere on NOWNESS tomorrow.

Brief Synopsis
Classic adventure about the sadistic Captain Bligh, who drove his men to revolt during a South Seas expedition.
In Portsmouth Harbour, England, in December of 1787, preparations are made to sail the H.M.S. Bounty to Tahiti, where her crew will collect breadfruit trees and import them as a cheap source of food for slave camps in the West Indies. Before sailing, a press gang headed by Fletcher Christian, the ship's lieutenant, strongarms Thomas Ellison, William Muspratt, Quintal and others into the King's Navy for the two-year voyage. Roger Byam, a descendent of a long line of decorated naval officers, is made a midshipman on the Bounty and is commissioned by Sir Joseph Banks to help him research his Tahitian dictionary. As the ship is about to set sail, Ellison, who does not want to leave his wife and child, is caught trying to break ship. When Christian learns of Ellison's attempted desertion, he reasons with Ellison and gently persuades him to return and serve his country. Soon after boarding his ship, William Bligh, the Bounty's sadistic captain, orders his crew to witness a "flogging through the fleet," a brutal form of punishment in which court-martialed seamen are flogged in view of every ship in the fleet. Although the master-at-arms pronounces the court-martialed seaman dead as he approaches the Bounty , Bligh insists that he proceed with the flogging. Later, Bligh, who respects only one law, the "law of fear," and tolerates no dissent among his crew, upbraids Christian when he complains about the ship's indecent food supply. Once at sea, Byam is severly punished by Bligh after he and another seaman are caught engaging in a minor fistfight, and is ordered to stand perched on top of the masthead during a storm. Christian tries to end Byam's cruel punishment by calling him down, but Bligh immediately sends him back. Later, Bligh keel-hauls a sailor because he asked for water to treat a wound. When Bligh accuses his crew of stealing cheese from the ship, seaman McCoy informs him that he witnessed Maggs, Bligh's clerk, remove the cheese in Portsmouth under his superior's orders. McCoy is soon punished for exposing the captain's scheme. Desperate for food, seaman Thomas Burkitt and others decide to risk their rationed dinner and use it as bait for shark fishing. They succeed in capturing a shark, but when Maggs insists on a share of the catch, a quarrel ensues and Bligh intercedes. Christian accuses Bligh of starving his crew, and Bligh calls Christian a "mutinous dog." Just as Christian is about to strike Bligh, land is spotted on the horizon and the crew makes preparations for landing. Once in Tahiti, Bligh is greeted by island chief Hitihiti, an old friend of the King's Navy who greeted Captain Cook's ship when Bligh was a sailing master on it ten years earlier. Following the polite exchange of salutations, Bligh puts his crew to work harvesting the breadfruit trees. When Bligh denies Christian shore leave, the kind-hearted Hitihiti manages to secure his freedom and then introduces the lieutenant to his granddaughter Maimiti. Christian falls in love with Maimiti, and before he leaves Tahiti, he instructs Byam to tell her that he will come back for her someday. At sea once again, Bligh orders the flogging of four seamen who attempted to desert and insists that the ship's ailing surgeon witness the punishment. The brutality proves too much for the physician, and he collapses and dies. Christian blames Bligh for the doctor's death and decides to put an end to Bligh's ruthless tyranny by leading the crew in a mutiny. Christian takes over control of the ship by forcing Bligh and his allies into the ship's launch and casting them out to sea. He then turns the ship around and sails it back to Tahiti, where he marries Maimiti. Christian then abandons Byam and other seamen who were loyal to Bligh and were not loaded onto the ship's launch with the captain. As Christian leaves Tahiti to sail the Bounty to a new island, another British ship, the Pandora , is seen approaching on the horizon. The Pandora lands in Tahiti carrying the rescued Bligh, who quicky arrests Byam and the others for mutiny, despite their sworn loyalty to him. Determined to find Christian and see him "hanging from a yardarm," Bligh navigates the Pandora into heavy seas and breaks the ship on a reef. Bligh, Byam and other survivors are rescued and then taken to England. Meanwhile, Christian sails the Bounty to Pitcairn Island, where he sets the ship ablaze and settles his men to begin life anew. Five years pass and Byam, who has been convicted of high treason, receives a pardon when the King learns of Bligh's cruel disciplinary practices. Byam is soon restored to the Royal Navy, and is assigned to its flagship, which is set to fight the French in the battle of Trafalgar and "sweep the seas for England."

Relative: Egyptian family rejects Israel honor
CAIRO (AP) -- A member of the family of the first Arab honored by Israel for risking his life to save Jews during the Holocaust says the family isn't interested in the recognition.
The Egyptian doctor, Mohamed Helmy, was honored posthumously last month by Israel's Holocaust memorial for hiding Jews in Berlin during the Nazis' genocide, but a family member tracked down by The Associated Press this week in Cairo said her relatives wouldn't accept the award, one of Israel's most prestigious.
"If any other country offered to honor Helmy, we would have been happy with it," Mervat Hassan, the wife of Helmy's great-nephew, told the AP during an interview at her home in Cairo this week.
Mohamed Helmy was an Egyptian doctor who lived in Berlin and hid several Jews during the Holocaust. Last month, he was honored by Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial as "Righteous Among the Nations" -- the highest honor given to a non-Jew for risking great personal dangers to rescue Jews from the Nazis' gas chambers.
On Sunday, the museum criticized the family's decision. "We regret that political sentiment seems to have overcome the human aspect and hope one day that the latter will prevail," Yad Vashem said in a written statement.
Typically, the museum tries to track down living family members to present the award in a ceremony, but in the case of Helmy, who died in 1982 in Berlin, Yad Vashem said it had not been able to find any living relatives.
With the help of a German historian, the AP obtained the certificate of inheritance of Helmy's wife Emmi, who died in 1998. The document contained the names of three relatives in Cairo, and when contacted by the AP, Hassan agreed to share her memories of Helmy.
Hassan said the family wasn't interested in the award from Israel because relations between Egypt and Israel remain hostile, despite a peace treaty signed more than three decades ago. But, she cautioned, "I respect Judaism as a religion and I respect Jews. Islam recognizes Judaism as a heavenly religion."
The family's reluctance to accept the prize highlights the lingering hostility toward Israel felt by many Egyptians, even after the two countries signed a historic peace treaty in 1979. While security ties between the nations are tight, political relations have always remained cool and many ordinary Egyptians remain hostile to the Jewish state. Holocaust denial is also common throughout the Arab world, where recognition of the Holocaust is often seen as undercutting Palestinian suffering.
"Helmy was not picking a certain nationality, race or religion to help. He treated patients regardless of who they were," she said.
Dressed in a veil, the 66-year-old woman from an upscale neighborhood of Cairo was pleased to talk about her husband's great-uncle. She and her husband, who did not want to give his name to the AP, say they visited Helmy regularly in Germany.
Helmy was born in 1901 in Khartoum, in what was then Egypt and is now Sudan, to an Egyptian father and a German mother. He came to Berlin in 1922 to study medicine and worked as a urologist until 1938, when Germany banned him from the public health system because he was not considered Aryan, said Martina Voigt, the German historian, who conducted research on Helmy.
When the Nazis began deporting Jews, he hid 21-year-old Anna Boros, a family friend, at a cabin on the outskirts of the city, and provided her relatives with medical care. After Boros' relatives admitted to Nazi interrogators that he was hiding her, he arranged for her to hide at an acquaintance's house before authorities could inspect the cabin, according to Yad Vashem. The four family members survived the war and immigrated to the U.S.
"I think it's remarkable, it's inspiring," said Irena Steinfeldt, director of Yad Vashem's "Righteous Among the Nations" department.
After the war, Helmy picked up his work as a physician again and married Emmi. The couple never had any children.
"They did not want to have children for fear of the wars," remembered Hassan. "They did not want them to see the horrors of war."
Yad Vashem says it has other names of relatives of Helmy that appeared in his will as his heirs and Yad Vashem forwarded this information to the Egyptian ambassador in Israel and were informed that authorities in Egypt were looking to find them.
Grieshaber reported from Berlin. Associated Press writer Aron Heller contributed to this report from Jerusalem.

Subscribe To Is This How Terminator: Genesis Will Connect To James Cameron's Original Film? Updates
I've already subscribed
Terminator 5 is starting to sound a little bit like Back to the Future Part II.
The fifth Terminator is actually dubbed Terminator: Genesis, and we know more than a few things about it. Arnold Schwarzenegger will return, though in what role, we aren't yet sure. Alan Taylor (Thor the Dark World) directs, and today's theory suggests that he will find ways to directly connect his new movie – and subsequent sequels – with James Cameron's original 1984 film, The Terminator.
HitFix brought up the ideas existing in the Terminator: Genesis screenplay, pointing out that from what they have read, there is a scene that will essentially take place in a sequence from the first Terminator movie. The site's editor, Drew McWeeny, explains:
There's a scene in the script where literally, we see the scene in the first Terminator where Arnold steps out, the punks threaten him, he rips Bill Paxton's heart out and takes his clothes and wanders off. And as soon as that scene ends, another Arnold Schwarzenegger who's older, and bearded and a very different version of the Terminator, comes walking in from the other side and plays another scene, right at the scene of that first incident."
He means this terrific (and NSFW) scene. Stop being a couple of cans short of a six pack and watch it, already:
Now, does this mean that scene remains in the Terminator: Genesis scene? Not exactly. McWeeny might have seen an earlier draft. Or Alan Taylor could have decided that a scene doesn't work, for whatever reason, and it ends up in the discard pile. But I think we can draw from this the notion that they are going to want to age Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator machine in Genesis, and they aren't going to lean on high-tech digital effects to try and make the 66-year-old action star look like he did 30 years ago.
This feeds into quotes Arnold Schwarzenegger said a while back, when he commented on the use of time travel in the new movie's script, and the ability of his machine to "age." This theory is also back up by quotes ScreenRant found from professional body builder Aaron Williamson, who at one point told his social media followers that he had been hired to play a T-800 in the new movie. Maybe the director needed him to be a stand-in for younger Arnold in scenes that we'll now see from the perspective of older Schwarzenegger?
We're speculating. Here's what we know for sure. Terminator: Genesis co-stars Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) as Sarah Connor; Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty) as John Connor; and Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese. It will be in theaters on July 1, 2015.

My colleague John Robertson had to be forcibly restrained one day when we were teaching at a business school in Italy where the majority of the students said that they agreed with everything we said but could not see any point in writing a thank you letter. And this is the trouble, many people, sadly, think that such letters are a waste of time. But they are missing the point.
If anything, I would argue that a well-penned, hand-written thank you letter carries more gravitas than in previous generations, only because they are becoming a rare breed. We live in an age of instant communication, but this is no excuse for letting standards of civility slip, although it is, for many, an easy excuse.
Thank you letters should be written (by hand) after you have received either hospitality or a present. If someone has thrown a party and you were one of the guests, the reasoning of 'I'll be the only guest who does write a thank you letter so I won't bother' is ludicrous to say the least. If others aren't writing letters, it does not mean to say we have to copy them – try not to be a sheep.
When I was younger, my parents used to say to me that if I didn't write someone a thank you letter for a present then I would find that the giver would stop giving me presents. Being young, naive and slightly materialistic, this would not do at all and so I duly wrote my letters on my parents' writing paper.
These thank you letters do not have to be lengthy essays with bibliographies and academic references: one page on A5 writing paper (letterhead optional) will suffice. If someone has put in the effort of cooking for you or taken the time to buy you a present then it is common sense (and courtesy) to show them that you are grateful.
Many people say to me that they find it a chore writing such letters and they struggle with finding the right words, but once a winning formula is learned then they become second-nature. Again, these letters do not need to be the next Harry Potter, or match the mellifluous prose of Oscar Wilde. And to avoid confusion, I shall post a mock-up thank you letter on this blog next week.
One final word, please just don't thank someone over Facebook or a similar site; a telephone call is the best option for the lazy individual.
