Most celebs are no stranger to privilege, but stars that are born into the Hollywood elite are an entirely different breed. There's no 'started from the bottom now we're here' for these 10 celebrities, but would they be where they are without their famous families? Tell us what you think.
How far does being Hollywood royalty get you?
Kate HudsonKate Hudson was raised by Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, so you better believe she learned a thing or two about acting in that household. Kate has never wanted to use her famous parents as a way to get ahead, though. Her breakthrough role was in Almost Famous, for which she earned an Oscar nom, and a Golden Globe win.
Tori SpellingTori Spelling gained fame via her starring role on Beverly Hills 90210, a show that just happened to be produced by her father, Hollywood bigwig Aaron Spelling. Since then she's been in a handful of B movies, and reality TV shows. With little-to-no awards to her name. It's safe to say that a career in Hollywood likely wouldn't have been in the cards without daddy dearest.
Miley CyrusHaving singer Billy Ray Cyrus as your father could be seen as a hindrance rather than a benefit, so the fact that Miley has become a household name is testament to her own star power. Maybe having Dolly Parton as your godmother helps a little bit, but it's Miley's outrageous behaviour, and talent (let's not forget that), that have kept her at the top of the charts.
Blake LivelyBeautiful human? Absolutely. Talented actress? That depends who you ask. Blake's first role was with her director father when he made the movie Sandman. Since then she has gone on to win the hearts of teens everywhere with her portrayal of Serena Van Der Woodsen in Gossip Girl. Perhaps her new role as mother will help inspire her to find roles that will lead to more critical acclaim.
Nicolas CageNicolas Cage was actually born Nicolas Coppola, but he changed his name to step out of the shadow of his uncle, famed director Francis Ford Coppola. Although he did star in one of Coppola's films (Peggy Sue Got Married), his success has largely been due to his talent and incredible work ethic. Cage has starred in more than 70 films in the last 35 years. Anyone getting that much work has to be good.
Eva AmurriWhen Susan Sarandon is your mother you get more than great genes and killer ping pong skills; you get connections. Eva's first role was alongside her stepfather Tim Robins in Bob Roberts. Her second role was with her mother in Stepmom. Luckily, Eva is a chip off the old block. Her role on the hit TV show Californication proved that she's got what it takes.
Gwyneth PaltrowIf Hollywood dynasties had a queen, it would probably be Gwyneth Paltrow. There's nothing too good for the progeny of actress Blythe Danner and director Bruce Paltrow. Though perhaps more famous now for her luxurious lifestyle than her acting career, she does have an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and a SAG award to her name, so clearly she's more than a famous name.
Angelina JolieAngelina Jolie's first role was in the movie Lookin' to Get Out with her father, actor John Voight. The two have had a rocky relationship since Voight left when she was almost one. While they have feuded and made up before the public's eyes several times, it's safe to say that she has been able to keep her star shining on her own terms.
Alexander SkarsgårdAlexander Skarsgård's father is Stellen Skarsgård. The fact that you are wondering who that is is proof enough that Alexander has been able to make it on his own. Stellen is one of the most prolific character actors, and we've all seen him in movies like The Avengers, Good Will Hunting, Pirates of the Caribbean, and dozens more, we just didn't realize it. But we all know Alexander from True Blood, and Battleship, and will be seeing a lot more of him in his upcoming role as Tarzan.
Anderson CooperAnderson Cooper was born a Vanderbilt; AKA one of the wealthiest families in American history. Anderson has more than proven his worth as a journalist, with countless reports from war zones and disaster areas. If his 5 Emmys aren't enough to impress you, the fact that he interned at the CIA instead of Wall Street surely should.

If you're anything like us at Teenreads, we will do anything possible to hear every detail of a favorite character's backstory. Does Harry Potter prefer chocolate ice cream, or vanilla? Would Celaena Sardothien wear a dress or a totally killer suit to the prom? In this post, author Brenda Drake gives us the lowdown on Nick D'Marco, the carefree yet protective best friend of the main character of her Library Jumpers series. Although the main characters Gia and Arik may take the center stage of THIEF OF LIES and GUARDIAN OF SECRETS, you'll be eager to see more Nick after reading this post.
"Ever since Freaky Friday, it just keeps getting weirder, doesn't it?" Nick D'Marco from THIEF OF LIES
Gia and her two romantic interests get all the attention whenever I'm interviewed or when I write guest posts about the series. So today, I thought it would be fun to delve into another character, who becomes more important in GUARDIAN OF SECRETS, book two in the Library Jumpers series. So without further ado, I give you Nick D'Marco.
First, a little bit about Nick. He's 16, sarcastic, careless and protective of his friends. Nick and Gia have known each other since they were babies. Their mothers were close friends. He was born in Boston, and he attended the same private school as Gia. His parents own an Italian restaurant where he works, and he would like to run his own restaurant someday. Nick can be a slacker at times, but when it comes to his friends and those he loves, he will step up to any challenge.
If I could choose an actor to play Nick, it would be Nick Robinson. With his brown hair and brown eyes, he resembles my Nick well. Don't know who he is? He played the older brother in Jurassic World.
When we meet Nick in THIEF OF LIES, he's sarcastic with a wondering eye for pretty girls. His life is carefree. He likes to have fun and doesn't take things seriously. After he's sucked into a gateway book with Gia and Afton in the Boston Athenaeum and dropped into a library in Paris, he's more timid and scared of the hidden world they discover once there. Not to mention, they run into a demonic hound and some biker-like knights show up with swords and magical globes to save the day.
As Nick navigates this new reality, he becomes more aware of something he'd thought could be the truth, but it ends up being something even more sinister. We end THIEF OF LIES with Nick on shaky ground and uncertain how to navigate his new reality.
In book two, Nick will go through a lot of emotional struggles and growth. He has tons to deal with after book one. He'll have to learn how to handle all the stuff that has been dumped on him. He's in a dark place and he can't control his anger. The only thing that feels normal to him is his relationship with Gia. They're more like brother and sister than just friends. She grounds him. Friendships and relationships will be tested in GUARDIAN OF SECRETS, especially with Nick.

Leafy parkland, a seaside village and what can only be described as blessed peace are all waiting for you here at Lytton Lawn Touring Park, set in eight acres of serenity a mile from Milford on Sea.
This is a Shorefield Holidays park, so is self-contained and with all the up to date amenities you'd expect for a 21st century getaway, but the site is set up to be quiet and has no gym, bar, disco or swimming pool – perfect for peaceful contemplation under the trees. After you pack the kids off to the play area, natch…
Fear not though if the kids do get twitchy or you think you might fancy raising your energy level (within reason) after all – pitch fees at Lytton give you free entry to the club and leisure facilities at Shorefield Country Park two and a half miles away: take your pick from splashing around in the pool, steaming up in the sauna, lazing at the outdoor pool with heated children's beach area, or just turning up for food, tipple or the nightly entertainment. Spoilt for choice? Go along to one of the regular events instead from cricket to walking on water in inflatable balls; there's even the occasional Scaletrix Challenge for sulky teens.

From Junction 1 of the M27, follow the A337 through Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst and Lymington. Continue along the A337 until the village of Everton. At Everton take a left turn into the B3058. Lymore Lane can be found on the left-hand side.
Local attractions
The first stop outside the park should be seaside village Milford on Sea for boat hire, beach walking, watersports and the all-essential ice cream: take a look from the beach for The Needles of the Isle of Wight or go east to the boat yard and bird sanctuary at Keyhaven. Historical types can also make their way by foot or ferry to Hurst Castle, built by Not So Good King Henry VIII to guard the Solent all those years ago.
The scenery around Lytton Lawn means there's gallons of good sightseeing, cycling and walking, such as the bike trip to Lymington along the coastal cycle path, or all sorts of hikes and nature-spotting around the nearby New Forest.
And it wouldn't be a seaside holiday without taking in more beaches: there are striking sand dunes and a woodland nature trail at Sandbanks Beach, where you can also cross to the National Trust's Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour.
Little piggies will just have to go to nearby Paultons Park to gawp at Peppa Pig World and they might also clamour for a day at Putlake Adventure Park or go wide-eyed at Liberty's Owl and Raptor Centre; once you've earned your Brownie points at these you can trade off for some of the many grown-up attractions nearby: Christchurch Priory, Exbury Gardens and Beaulieu Motor Museum and Village should hit all the historical and cultural highs.
For city-hitting (and more beaches), Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch are all within driving distance, and anyone down in this corner of the world will be well rewarded with a ferry trip across to the eye-watering Isle of Wight.

Honda raises profit outlook on strong motorcycle sales
[TOKYO] Honda Motor revved up its annual profit outlook Wednesday on strong motorcycle sales and a lower yen but the more upbeat figures still represented a drop from the previous year.
Japan's third-largest automaker now expects net profit of 585 billion yen (S$6.99 billion) for the year to March 2018 instead of the earlier projected 545 billion yen.
However, the revised-up figure would still be down five percentage points from the previous year's profit.
The company raised its operating-profit forecast from 725 billion yen to 745 billion yen, down 11.4 percent from the previous year.
The sales forecast was hiked from 14.5 trillion yen to 15.05 trillion yen, up 7.5 percent from last year.
For the six months to September, operating profit fell nearly 15 percent, despite sales growth, hit by a one-time pension charge and costs related to faulty Takata airbags.
Honda made its profit forecast revisions to reflect an "increase in consolidated motorcycle unit sales and favourable foreign currency effects," the firm said in a statement.
Honda now expects the yen to average 109 to the dollar in the current business year, much cheaper than the 107 projected earlier.
A lower yen makes Japanese carmakers more competitive in foreign markets and inflates profits when repatriated.
"Honda is likely to continue to enjoy good contributions from its motorcycle sales," said Satoru Takada, an analyst at TIW, a Tokyo-based research and consulting firm.
Honda also expects growth in the second half as new models will be released at home and North America, he told AFP.
The Japanese group has agreed to pay US$484 million to settle a US class action filed by Honda car owners who suffered economic damage due to airbag-linked recalls.
Six-month net profit grew 8.4 per cent thanks to increased returns from subsidiaries and affiliates, notably a contribution from robust Chinese vehicle operations, according to the company.
Honda also announced it would buy back up to 24 million of its own shares, which is 1.3 per cent of its outstanding shares.
Investors usually welcome corporate repurchases as it could boost the value of shares remaining in markets.

Merg Vol
|Merg Vol
|Biographical information
Eye color:
|Political and military information
Notable info:
Commander of Covenant forces during the Battle of Draetheus V
Merg Vol was a Sangheili Zealot and leader of one of the reformed factions of the Covenant that continued fighting against the UNSC after the end of the Human-Covenant War. He initiated the Battle of Draetheus V, one of the first human-Covenant engagements in the wake of the war.[2]
Draetheus V[edit]
- Main article: Battle of Draetheus V
Following the Human-Covenant War, and the Covenant's dissolution, Vol created and led a reformed Covenant faction. In 2554,[1] Merg Vol led a large-scale attack on the human colony of Draetheus V and its moon X50, searching for Forerunner artifacts.[2] After seizing the moon, which was in fact a Forerunner device, he activated the artifact and directed it on Draetheus V in order to disassemble the planet and destroy the UNSC forces there.[3]
At the end of the battle, the UNSC ordered Spartan Sarah Palmer to eliminate Merg Vol. She confronted the Sangheili on X50, where he was supported by a large amount of Kig-Yar. After a fierce battle, Palmer was able to defeat Vol and executed him with her M6H magnum sidearm.[4] Following his death, elements of Merg Vol's group joined Jul 'Mdama's Covenant, including Parg Vol,[5] though he was assassinated by Fireteam Crimson in February 2558 during the Requiem Campaign.[6]
Merg Vol appears as the final boss fight of Operation E mission 5. Until the release of Operation F: Hydra, this was the concluding fight of the game.[4]
After the player defeats three waves of Covenant infantry, Merg Vol appears armed with plasma grenades and a plasma pistol, which he fires overcharged at the player. After the player lowers one of Vol's shields he retreats to one of four pads to recharge, distracting the player with holographic decoys on the other three pads. Once recharged, he will attack the player using active camouflage and dual wielding energy swords.[4]
When the player removes Vol's shields a second time, he will recharge yet again. This time he re-emerges with a Hardlight shield, which the player must find a way around. At this point, he is particularly vulnerable to plasma grenades. Once the player removes his shields one last time, Merg Vol will convulse and collapse, at which point the player will be prompted to execute him with Palmer's magnum sidearm.[4]
List of appearances[edit]

Day 3 was yesterday and as a rule it was OK. As predicted I was busy and pretty word shy so that is that.
Day 4 – I actually don't know how honest I dare be in my blog today. I can say right now that it isn't going to be the positive. A bad day has sprang up and slapped me right across the face and it stings! Turn away now, close down the window and go back to whatever you were doing, have a fantastic day!
Ok, still reading? Well don't say I didn't warn you………………………………………..
I am going to chalk it all up to hormones and a mixture of severe lack of sleep alongside actually dreading going into work today that has me feeling so low that I want to sit under a table like a small child and pretend I am not there. Not even 730am and I have cried, I have had (fleeting) darker than usual thoughts and I want to scream.
I should have went out for a run or to the gym, but even keeping my eyes open and focused is a massive chore. However I know if I tried, sleep would escape me. Where my mind normally runs a million times to the dozen, today it feels so slow. Like it is stuck in mud. Trying to grip the simplest thoughts and act on them is a challenge. I am going to have to use everything in my self help bank to keep me going today, one silver lining is at least hopefully for 3 magical hours I can lose myself in college as it is so full on I barely get a chance to think about anything else.
Today my mask will be firmly in place because it HAS to be. I still have to be a mother, my children can not see me like this, a wife, although probably a relief for him, Darryl wont see me today, a colleague, a student and a friend. Those are the labels I am proud of and ones I take very seriously , so today no matter how shite I feel in myself, that is what I will be doing. To the best of my ability.
Today I will be mostly introverted. My sentences might be shorter than normal, I may not even speak in some cases. I will be very much inside myself as inside myself I can keep myself safer. I wont unintentionally hurt anyone with what might come out of my mouth without me thinking. I wont be spouting shit that makes no sense because my vocal ability is all a bit mixed up and I cant quite make the connection between what is going on in my head and how to verbally express it.
Maybe caffeine will help? Maybe once I pull my arse off the sofa, make myself look presentable and get out the front door, this morning will feel like a distant memory. I can all but hope. I am trying. I am trying to act normal. I have music on, I am blogging, I am thinking of ways that I can help myself. Would the gym after college help? Never been later at night before. Will finally filling out my redundancy preference form and sending it straight back off marked VERY IMPORTANT whilst resisting typing at the bottom – please release me!! give me back that goofy, daft smile I have when I am not sticking my tongue out that is.
Personally I am hoping that Depression has just had a word in Mother Natures shell like and told her she has full reign to fuck with me this month. And of course it would be this week, this weekend, because it is important to me. Fair play Mother Nature, fair play *applauds slowly and sarcastically*. I am hoping that this knot in my chest isn't "Patricia" deciding that she needs to pay a little visit, because she is just evil. Maybe I will do some ball slams later and it will be enough to appease her and she will go back in her room. She is not a nice side of me. In fact she is bloody horrible. She holds my anger. The anger I spent many years trying to control. When she is let loose with it I lose all control of myself. All I am left with is the mess to clear up in her wake. She makes Ophelia look like a light breeze. She can do a lot of damage in a small space of time!
I think I have been using all my amazing things in my life as a plaster, covering a wound that really needs stitches. I am putting on a brave face and pretending it doesn't hurt as much as it looks. Mostly I have good days and it doesn't seem to hurt but then again sometimes it fucking knacks. Yet I am making such a show of all these fabulous things I am doing and trying to do the absolute best I can with it all that I lose the ability to say, ouch ya buggar, that hurts!!
I don't need to rest, I don't need to give anything up. I can promise you that. I do get so many great things out of what I am doing. I just think I need to realise that I don't always need to do things with such enthusiasm. I am allowed to have my resting bitch face on. I cant always find silver linings in every negative. Other people should have that ability. I cant keep 'fixing' things as it is just killing me! I feel like I am always the one that need to sort everything out.
Ok, rant and pity party over with. Although I have to accept this mood and go where it takes me, to a degree, I cant let it win.
3 days till Bamburgh!! The Finish line is actually in sight now! My energy levels are low now, I am physically, mentally and emotionally empty. I am going to think of this as a cleanse though. I am empty, to start filling back up with amazingness. Ready to run like I have never ran before. I should be glad I have woke up at this stage like this and not Sunday morning. I can hopefully nip this is in the bud now!
I am OK, I promise. At least I will be. I have to expect these days and to be honest, I have been expecting it.
Sorry if I have bummed you out, but I cant always be sweetness, light, motivation and cheek. Sometimes I just have to be – this!
Love to all
For those struggling, big hugs. We can get through this together. There is always sunshine after the rain!

Road trip safety has been the first and foremost thing in my mind while pondering this madcap cross country adventure. Am I being irresponsible and reckless traveling like this, a single women alone with her child? Will I be putting my kid in jeopardy? Maybe this is stupid. I must be crazy. I need to get an office job and act more normal.
Then I get angry and decide that I will not turn away from my dream to take my kid on the
ultimate road trip
out of fear, but simply plan for success by preparing for any possible situation. What if we break down? I am taking this trip, but every once in a while I imagine us sleeping in some creepy Wal-Mart parking lot while some psycho tries to break in.
Because my concerns are serious, my first inclination was serious, too. The first thing I thought was, get a
! So, I did some research. Things I wondered were, how safe is it? Should I take a class or something? What kind of
should I get?

For my next line of defense I found my thoughts moving to .
pepper spray, Taser guns, and stun guns.
Did you know there is a difference between the two? I didn't, but apparently a stun gun requires physical contact and a Taser gun can be shot up to 15 ft. away.

Other considerations are alarm systems for the door and windows on our vehicle. So, when they break in while you are sleeping, a loud and terrifying alarm will go off. This will give you enough time to grab your Taser gun, stun gun, and pepper spray and kick some criminal ass.
There are also techniques to explore such as "stealth" van camping, which involves using a plain looking cargo van converting to a camper on the inside, while minimizing any outside clues that there may be people or other enticing items inside.
Click here for information on turning your camper van into a steel fortress of safety.
Another road trip safety concern is breaking down. I will be proactive and buy the best vehicle we can afford, but it ain't much, and stuff happens.
The first thing I need to do is learn how to change my own tire!
I have also always been concerned about lack of cell phone service on the road trips we have taken. A satellite phone seems like a necessity. At the very least, some kind of homing device so we can call for emergency services. I have no idea what's available or how much it costs, so I will be exploring that as well.
Join us as we plan for road trip safety and enjoy our trip without being victims!

I'm still resisting casting on for Annis in order to get my sweater done. I've been working on the sleeves almost to the exclusion of all other knitting:
I'm 18 rows from the cap shaping at this point. I'm still working on both sleeves at once, I've just stacked them for the photo.
Other than that I've been working on the doll panties. They don't look like much at the moment so I haven't photographed them.

Civilization Revolution Review
|2K Games
|Xbox 360
|Official Site:
|Release Date:
|June 13th, 2008 (UK)
|Craig Laycock (Cragtek)
I love strategy games. There's one very good reason why: with strategy games, you control everything. If you fail, only you can carry the can. You can't blame the tools. If you succeed, the knowledge that you've pulled something off against the odds is exhilarating, and that's why I'll always come back to strategy gaming again and again.
You might have heard a bit of the furore amongst Civ fanboys following the news that developers Firaxis were working on a console title. Thousands of ardent Civ fans went on the rampage all over the net, adamant that a console iteration of the popular series would dilute the gameplay and destroy the franchise. They felt Sid Meier had sold out, that he cashed in his chips like so many others in the past and went all mass-market on our asses. Well, yes, he did - but it was a masterstroke.
Civilization Revolution is essentially Civ without all the boring bits that 95% of gamers ignore. Gone is the tedious micromanagement - this is frenetic non-stop Civ action. But does the game lose something for that? Well, no. The fanboys would argue that a layer of intricate strategy has been removed, resource management snatched from their grasps. I would argue that instead, the strategic experience has been refined, purified and brought to the boil in a high-tempo all-action saucepan. They sell them at Tesco.
For those out there who are still unsure what the Civilization franchise is all about, I pity you, but will strive to enlighten you. The series, originally based on a board game (as all good strategy ideas seem to be), involves you settling cities, waging war and dominating the world by building a mighty Civilization (clue was in the title). But the jewel in Civ's crown is that it fits the player like a glove. If you don't fancy taking over the world you can quite happily set up shop in some dark undiscovered corner of the world and busily go about researching technologies and win the game by becoming the first nation in space. Or perhaps you'd prefer to build a bustling commercial empire and win an economic victory by founding the World Bank? Think of it as Risk on crack. So how best to think of Civ Rev? Well, Civ on crack I suppose.
Trust me: this game loses NOTHING by going to console - and this is far from being a straight port. A whole new interface has been designed, complete with amazingly detailed 3d rendered advisors - the only downside is you go through that many menus while playing the game you rarely get chance to take these in, it's just a case of clicking and knocking them off the screen. But it doesn't get annoying, it adds to the atmosphere. Heck, I based my decision not to invade Russia on the sole basis that I thought the leader Catherine was hot. The pace is unrelenting though and I was quickly punished for not taking the initiative when the Red Army tanks rolled in.
This is 'pick up and play' Civ at its best… and I haven't got to the best bit yet - multiplayer. While the single player is entertaining, the early difficulty levels are too easy and the higher ones too hard. Replay value becomes an issue, which is resolved in part by a Game of the Week feature - a game scenario which you can download each week and compete with other gamers to score the highest single-player score. It's good for a while, but online is where the real fun is to be had.
Online gameplay is fast, fun and frenetic. Finally we have a Civ where it doesn't take 50 years to play a multplayer game. You can jump right in to the action and even set a timer to stop play getting out of hand. Those of us with seemingly little free time these days will certainly appreciate it. The game itself handles brilliantly online - you can play team-based games, head-to-head or just an out-and-out free for all. War is constantly at your doorstep and you'll be forced to think on your feet. And you DO have to think - this isn't dumbed down at all, merely streamlined.
I have to give a special mention, too, to the Civlopedia. In it isn't quite the sum total of human knowledge, but it's a fantastic interactive encyclopaedia, guiding you through the game's mechanics and also the historical figures and great thinkers involved. There's video and pictures and some terrific text - a lot of work has gone into this and I'm delighted to see it's made it to this version of the game.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Civ Rev to anyone. If you love the Civ games, you really should buy it regardless of the fact that it's a bit more accessible - it's still great fun and, at its heart, Civ through and through. If you're new to the series, there's no better place to get stuck in and learn the mechanics of the game and find out what you've been missing out on all these years. Civilization Revolution is an absolute stand-out title on the Xbox 360 and I applaud Firaxis for bringing Civ to a wider audience. Sold out? You must be joking.
And remember: if you fail at Civ Rev, only you can carry the can. If you succeed, the knowledge that you've pulled something off against the odds is exhilarating. It's why I love strategy.
8.5 / 10
Good stuff
- Easy to get into
- Rule the world
- Still Civ through and through
Not so good stuff
- Brilliant animations sometimes wasted
- Fast paced action won't suit the more laid back Civ players

Good Morning, ! It's Thursday, June 2 Dimitris from Atlantic inkjet sent me a help request, that he had received, that might quaify for a bonehead award. "I have filled my toner with inkjet ink and tried printing but only got blanks. I realised i should have used toner after what happened. Has this damaged my printer? what should i do now? i emptied the ink and left the toner out to dry.. Please let me know if my printer and toner are damaged?" I doubt that any of you would squirt liquid bulk ink into a toner cartridge, but just in case you might be confused, never mix liquid ink and dry toner. That person ruined that cartridge, and mostlikely also the printer. With Laser pinters your cost per page is 1/3 to 1/5 compared to inkjet printers, but refilling laser toner cartridges is not just a matter of dumping more toner into the cartridge. You also have to replace the extrortion chip, that the printer expects. Without that chip, the printer won't "recognize" the cartridge. The little chip probably costs about 49 cents to produce, but IBM, HP, DELL, etc. who own the chip plants in China, want to make a certain amount per cartridge. Expect to pay around $10 per chip. Personally, I just order ready to use cartridges from Atlantic inkjet .com, and let them match colors and chips. The price is about the same anyway. Have FUN! DearWebby

"Hello?" A girl's voice came over the line. "Can I speak to Ben, please?" I live by myself, and my name definitely is not Ben. It was probably a wrong number and I was fed up with wrong number calls. There always eem to be more during times of full moon. "I'm sorry, he's not in right now. Can I take a message?" "Do you know what time he'll be back?" she responded. "I think he said he'd be home around 10:00." Silence on the other end...a confused silence. "Is this Steve?" My name isn't Steve, either. This was definitely a wrong number. "Yes, it is. Do you want to leave a message for Ben?" "Well...he said he would be home tonight and asked me to call him..." she said in a slightly irritated voice. I replied, "Well, he went out with Karen about an hour ago, and said that he would be back at 10:00." A shocked voice now: "Who's Karen?!" "The girl he went out with." "I know that! I mean...who is she?" "I don't know her last name. Look, do you want me to leave a message for Ben?" "Yes...please do. Tell him to call me when he gets home." She was sounding pretty irate at this point, and I could hear her temper flaring. "I sure will. Is this Jennifer?" She exploded this time. "Who's Jennifer?" Apparently she wasn't. "Well...he's going out with Jennifer at 10:00. I thought you were her. Sorry...it was an honest mistake." "Ben's the one that's made the mistake! Tell him that Alice called him and the she's Very Upset and that I would Like Him to Call Me as Soon As He Gets Home." I smiled and said, "Okay, I will...but Becky isn't going to like this..."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to Steven Long, 23, in South Daytona, Florida Burglar carries 59" TV on bicycle SOUTH DAYTONA, Fla., June 1 (UPI) -- Police in Florida said they arrested a suspected burglar spotted carrying a 59-inch TV between his lap and the handlebars of his bicycle. Investigators said Steven Long, 23, was seen carrying the television set on his bike at about 4:20 a.m. Sunday in South Daytona and he fled when he spotted the officers, the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel reported Wednesday. Long, who police said eventually abandoned the bike and the TV to flee on foot, was caught in a back yard and placed under arrest. Residents of a nearby home identified the television as having been stolen along with other items by someone who pried open the side door to their garage. Police said the property was returned to the residents, but the TV, worth more than $2,000, was damaged beyond repair. Long told officers the TV had been given to him by a friend to settle a debt but investigators said the story did not check out and he was charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling and felony theft.
From the Tech Support Pits: From: Sharon Re: Substitute for CD drive Dear Webby, Dear Webby, I love your jokes today. Especially the bike riding because my granddaughter & her other grandmother have been riding their bikes & the plumber because of out local town plumber. His final comments on his answering machine message is "remember a flush is better than a full house". He is a character anyway. I have been having trouble getting my cd+rw drive to work. It won't open so I can transfer pics to it. I know the disks are fine because I have checked them out in the cd drive. I finally sent the pics by email to a friend who transferred them off to disk for me. 1) Is it possible that doing a system restore could help? It worked fine in Apr the last time I transferred off some pics but not in May when I tried again. 2) My pics are on cdrw disks that say 700Mb. If I should buy flash drives that are 4 Gb(?) how may disks approximately would fit on each flash? How hard is it to put them on flash drives? I am so happy that you are getting your strength back & able to get out & about. Thanks for taking time to share w/ us even when you were under the weather. Dear Sharon All CD drives do fail sooner or later. A 4 GB SD chip holds almost 6 times as much as a CD. You can also use the cheap 2 GB chips. They are compatible with more different devices than the 4 GB chips. You just drag the files to the chip, as if it was another folder on the computer. No burning or finalizing required. Befoer you switch over to SD chips, get a suitable cookie tin to store them in. They don't really need a lot of protection, but because they are small, they tend to get lost easily, if you don't have a designated place for them. Have FUN DearWebby

For months he had been her devoted admirer. Now, at long last, he had collected up sufficient courage to ask her the most momentous of all questions: "There are quite a lot of advantages to being a bachelor," he began, "but there comes a time when one longs for the companionship of another being -- a being who will regard one as perfect, as an idol; whom one can treat as one's absolute own; who will be kind and faithful when times are hard; who will share one's joys and sorrows." To his delight he saw a sympathetic gleam in her eyes. Then she nodded in agreement. Finally, she responded, "I think its a great idea! Can I help you choose which puppy to buy?"

Spring is on the horizon, which means sweltering temperatures will once more prevail in the Texas area. Extreme heat can be dangerous, especially to populations such as young children and the elderly. Prolonged exposure to hot temperature can cause dehydration, fatigue, and a deadly condition called heat stroke. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps you can take to stay safe, even on the hottest of Texas spring and summer days:
Drink Up
One of the simplest ways to reduce your risk of heat stroke is by drinking plenty of water. Aim for at least 64 ounces a day – the equivalent of eight glasses. If you work outdoors, you might need more to replace the fluids you lose through perspiration. Electrolyte drinks such as Gatorade can also help replace important nutrients you may lose working outside.
Fluids are important; but so is their quality. Avoid sugar-laden sodas and other beverages with caffeine. These drinks act as diuretics and cause you to lose water, not replace it. Stick to refreshing iced water and consider adding a lemon or other fresh fruit for taste if desired.
Take Breaks
If you work outside, try to schedule most of your activities for the cooler times of day. Temperatures are generally hottest between 10 am and 4 pm, so try to complete any outdoor work in the early morning or evening hours.
If you must work during the hottest part of the day, seek shade whenever possible. Use umbrellas, canopies, or any other device that can limit your exposure to the sun. Wear clothing with UV protection if possible and load up on the heavy-duty sunblock.
Know the Signs of Heat-Related Illness
There are several kinds of heat-related illness that can lead to dangerous consequences. Here are some of the most common:
- Heat rash. This is skin irritation that's triggered by sweating. You may have heat rash if you notice red clusters of blisters on your body. Though not life threatening, heat rash can be uncomfortable and is a sure sign that you need a break from the heat.
- Heat cramps. These are painful cramps that result from imbalanced electrolytes, usually due to excessive sweating. You may notice pain or spasms in the arms, legs, or abdomen.
- Heat exhaustion. This heat-related condition is your body's response to dehydration. You may notice weakness or fatigue, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, muscle cramps, flushed skin, excessive sweating, or clamminess.
- Heat stroke. The most serious of the heat-related illnesses, a heat stroke occurs when the body stops sweating and your internal body temperature rises. Symptoms include redness in the absence of sweating, a rapid pulse, chills, slurred speech, mental confusion, and a high body temperature. This is a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate medical attention.
If you notice any signs of heat-related illness, stop what you're doing and go indoors. Drink cool water, but not too fast. If you or someone you know exhibits signs of heat stroke, call emergency medical services, or take them to the nearest emergency room.
If you routinely work in extreme heat, pace yourself. Take frequent breaks, seek shade, and drink plenty of water and other electrolyte-balancing fluids. Avoid sugary liquids and carbonated drinks. Wear light reflective clothing with SPF protection if possible and be aware of any signs of heat-related illness. Do whatever it takes to avoid being in direct sun for prolonged periods of time.
The Texas summer swelter will be here before you know it. Working in our extreme heat can be dangerous, but there are a few simple ways you can enhance your safety. Follow these tips for a safe and healthy summer.

Each release includes a few examples which demonstrate various Uppaal TRON features.
Mouse Button Controller
The purpose is to demonstrate a simple input/output behavior where timing is of the most importance.
Train Gate Controller
The goal is to provide some performance estimate via benchmarking experiment on concurrent system with several threads. Experiment files.
Smart Lamp Light Controller
The purpose is to demonstrate TRON on a small realistic example of timed system.
On the left you can see the output from TRON console with testing events and timings (testing is running for 624781615 microseconds -- more than 10 minutes according to time-stamps). On the right you can see LightController simulator with light-level history, light-level bar and lamp with color-encoded level. There is a console window with events at LightController side at the bottom of light-level display. The LightController is an essential component of smart lamp where the level of light is defined by the time interval between consecutive user grasps and releases. TRON is behaving like a smart lamp user by issuing grasps and releases and at the same time observing that the level of light is correct according to the specification of LightController behavior written in Uppaal timed automata modeling language.
At least J2SDK 1.5 (Java 5.0) is required to start the smart lamp application.
Latency Experiments
Latency is everywhere. The goal of this experiment is to examine the TRON simulation capabilities and display a distribution of input-stimuli scheduling latency. There are two additional examples called ticking and ping. In ticking, TRON is required to issue periodic ticks which are recorded by IUT adapter. In ping, TRON is required to issue pong after some time the output ping was generated by the IUT adapter. In both examples, the result is a latency distribution (jitter) scatter plot. Ideally the plotted tick deviation should be zero and pongs should be issued precisely at 200ms and 201ms, but soft real-time scheduler (as most operating systems implement) scatters the timing, see the example figures bellow. You may want to make your own experiment by compiling and running ticking.cc which uses the same scheduling methods.
R environment and gv (Ghost Viewer) need to be installed to generate and display the scatter plots.

On November 28, 2107 at Longwoods Road Conservation Area, the Lower Thames Valley Conservation FOUNDATION presented the $500 Bursary to Jillian Ball.
Jillian is currently enrolled in the agricultural program at University of Guelph Ridgetown Campus. In Jillian's words " Helping my grandfather on his cattle farm I gained an interest in how agriculture affects the sustainability of our natural resource systems, which led to gaining a Nutrient Management certification through the Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) program…" While completing this certification we learned about the affect agricultural runoff has on nutrient levels in water. …I have also learned the importance of seeding and transplanting Ontario native grasses."

Collapse of EU superstate? Euroskeptics could paralyze Brussels after May elections
Anti-EU parties are set to gain a third of European parliamentary votes in May, a new study says. Analysts warn it may bring down the whole political system in Europe, leaving Brussels powerless, RT.com reports.
The European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) report describes the vote as "the most consequential parliamentary vote in the EU's history" and says it is even possible for Euroskeptic parties to gain more than 30 percent of the EP's seats "if their popularity continues to grow or if some of the fringe members of the mainstream join them."
The report argues that if such a situation occurs, the EU could find itself "living on borrowed time" and outlines ways that various anti-EU parties could align with each other to garner more power in Brussels.
The shaky situation in Europe is the result of the EU "trying to get rid of nationhood" and the fact that EU institutions are "too remote from the individual citizens," Jon Gaunt, a UK radio host, journalist and political commentator, told RT. That point was also reflected in the report which acknowledged that anti-EU parties are advocating a return to a "Europe of the nations" instead of what Gaunt described as a "non-democratic superstate."

-Bill starts the chat off by ignoring a question about what kind of return the Padres will be looking for in a trade for Headley
-Kelly has a better shot of making the Opening Day rotation than T. Ross
-Bill likes Jankowski and Hedges of the youngsters and he points out that Hedges is in the big league camp
-Players are just as talented now as they used to be
-Black won't keep two lefties in the pen for the sake of keeping two lefties in the pen
-"The number of correct calls by MLB Trade Rumors is not particularly high."
(I think it's safe to assume that Bill doesn't know how MLBTR works)
-Stauffer has to be on the major league roster by May 4 or an out clause in his contract is triggered
-Blanks could hit 20-25 home runs with 70-80 RBI as an everyday player
-Hundley has a better offensive year than Maybin
-Bill's order of ascension: Roach, Portillo, Wisler and Sampson
-Alonso is off to a slow start this spring because he's working on some changes that he started to make with Plantier back in January
-Jed Hoyer and Jason McLeod said they would not have taken Tate with Boston's pick at the end of the first round in the 2010 draft because they had concerns. Bill also said that those concerns didn't have to do with drugs.
-Here's how Bill ranks the potential pitching options:
"1. Richard, 2. Volquez, 3. Marquis, 4. Stults, 5. Cashner, 6. Kelly, 7. Bass, 8. Ross, 9. Stauffer, 10. O'Sullivan, 11. Erlin, 12. Roach (with Luebke waiting in the wings)"
-There is no best time for the WBC
-Bill would trade Gregerson and plus one for Porcello
-He thinks that Blanks opens the season getting regular at-bats in Tucson. He then says that if an AL team comes calling for Guzman, he "wouldn't be unhappy to see Kyle open the season on the Padres bench."
-Richard has the inside track for the Opening Day assignment
-Moores and Moorad screwed the Padres by taking the $200 million from the TV deal but they didn't break any rules. He also says that Fowler and other minority owners spent their cut on the purchase.
Run that one back, please:
"As for Fowler and several other minority owners, they apparently reinvested their share — said to be around 25 percent of the $200 milliomn — into their share of buying the club."
I'm sure this isn't the last we'll hear of this.
Back to the chat.
-Alonso is his pick for most disappointing player so far at camp
-Bill compares Headley's trade situation to Adrian's, when Boston was the only real choice due to their need and ability offer an extension
-Bill likes DrunkPadre's comparison of Jankowski and Steve Finley
-Marver asked Bill to clarify his comments about Fowler and the TV money:
Comment From ChangeThePadres
So it is true that the new owners used some of the Padres own money to buy the team itself? How is this not HUGE news? Grill them, Bill!
Bill Center:
I've not heard that at all about the Seidler and O'Malleys. That is one contention that some members of MLB had about Moorad, that he was using money from revenue sharing to help buy the Padres on his lay-away deal. This group didn't have time to use any of that money in the less than two months it had to complete the sale.
-Hundley has looked good and Maybin's not where Bill wants him to be.
-Marver again:
Comment From Marver
Wait…so Fowler actually used the team's money — ie. the TV up-front revenue — to buy the team itself? Do you have a source? Thanks.
Bill Center:
It was his money.
(En serio?)
-Bill will be very disappointed if the team claims it cannot afford Headley
-Hedges is in camp on a "recon mission"
-Bill thinks Cashner takes the fifth spot in the rotation
-The politicians lost their "clout in this fight" (TWC vs. FSSD) when they divided San Diego into territories and handed them over to TWC and Cox
-Khalil Greene now owns a small farm in Tennessee
-"I don't see a salary cap in baseball. Too many big-market owners oppose the idea."
-"Many players would love to see Hundley have a breakout season and keep Grandal in the minors for extended punishment."

10 little-known ways to quell performance anxiety
Prepping for an on-air interview or a live presentation? The adrenaline rush can do more than charge you up; it can also spike feelings of apprehension. Try these soothing tactics.
I went to CNN's AC 360 to shoot a segment on body language before the Republican debate.
With that anticipation came adrenaline, and with that adrenaline rush came feelings of anxiety. So, I was heartened to see in the research literature new ways to reduce anxiety. I couldn't do all these, so I stuck to my tried and true ways of reducing anxiety—breathing exercises, positive imaging, mantras, and so on.
Here are 10 mostly new ways that research says can reduce those pesky feelings of dread. I'll experiment with a few. Which ones will you try?
1. Amp up your empathy. Anxiety increases your feelings of isolation, so consciously being more sensitive to others may help you feel better. It's a minor play on the idea of "doing good because it makes you a better person."
2. Be kind. Even better than empathy is performing a small act of kindness. When I read about this one, I resolved to be extra kind to the coffee servers, the flight attendants, and the drivers, not to mention my fellow passengers, all the way to NYC. You know what? It seemed to help. At least, I felt a little sunnier than perhaps I otherwise would have.
3. Take kava. This root, found in the South Pacific islands, is traditionally served as a tea but is also available as a dietary supplement. It has a calming effect. So this recommendation comes with a stern warning to investigate any health risks before taking it, as you would whenever you try a dietary supplement. Has anyone tried it?
4. Reject your family history. Apparently about a third of your anxiety level can be explained by how anxious your parents were. To some degree, you learn to be anxious, so consciously unlearning anxiety may help. Try relaxation techniques, breathing, and yoga-all are soothing.
5. Ditch the Prozac. This one's a surprise. We've been taught that serotonin is one of the happy chemicals, and Prozac (and other such drugs) can increase serotonin. It turns out the opposite is true. So reducing your intake of similar drugs may decrease your serotonin, thus decreasing your anxiety.
6. Get active. Sedentary behavior increases anxiety: Watching TV, sitting at a computer, using my laptop on an airplane (as I'm doing now) are all culprits. I'll sprint through the airport once we land.
7. Eat fermented foods. Eating or drinking milk, cheese, yogurt and some kinds of bread (sourdough) that have probiotics will reduce anxiety. Bread and cheese for lunch! Why did I become a vegan?
8. Avoid anxious people. Anxiety is contagious, like a common cold. We spread it through our mirror neurons. So you're better off hanging with confident people than commiserating with other anxious folk.
9. Eat prebiotic bacteria, too. Researchers at Oxford recently completed a clinical trial that showed that prebiotic foods (different from probiotic foods, but equally helpful) reduce anxiety. Asparagus, leeks and onions all are prebiotic foods, so eat your veggies.
10. Finally, relax. Of course, relaxation reduces anxiety. I'll be relaxing when possible in the green room at CNN before the taping. That's what green rooms are for—relaxing. At least, when you're not stressing out.
In the long run, work on getting comfortable with the feelings that adrenaline brings, because adrenaline is your friend-it prepares you for optimal performance in high-stakes situations. The symptoms are uncomfortable, so learning to accept them is long-term work and very important.
In the short run, these anxiety reducers will help. Please let me know your favorite in the comments section.

Red Beets
I have nice leaves on my beet plants, about a foot high, but when I pick them, there is no beet. . . only a very small root.
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
Sounds like the beets may not be mature or ready for harvest. They can be grown throughout fall/winter in warmer areas. You may need to allow more time to pass and then check the plants again to see if they have reached the desired size. The following article may be of some help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/beets/growing-beets.htm
Additionally, adding some phosphorus-rich fertilizer will help with root development.

By a two-to-one margin Americans now say that the Iraq war was a war of choice, not a war of necessity--i.e., it was not necessary for the defense of the US--and that the war was not the best use of US resources, according to a new WorldPublicOpinion.org poll. For the first time, a majority now believes that Iraq did not have a weapons of mass destruction (WMD) program, though the public is still divided on whether Iraq supported al-Qaeda. Such beliefs are highly correlated with support for the war. A large bipartisan majority says that if Iraq did not have WMD or did not support al-Qaeda, the US should not have gone to war. Majorities in both parties perceive the Bush administration as continuing to say that Iraq did have WMDs or a major WMD program and provided substantial support to al-Qaeda.

Using Models and Scenes with jME3
To use 3D models in a jME3 application:
Export the 3D model in Ogre XML or Wavefront OBJ format. Export Scenes as Ogre DotScene format.
Save the files into a sub-directory of your jME3
In your code, you use the Asset Manager to load models as Spatials into a jME application.
Spatial model = assetManager.loadModel( "Models/MonkeyHead/MonkeyHead.mesh.xml" );
(For the release build:) Use the jMonkeyEngine SDK to convert models to .j3o format. You don't need this step as long you still develop and test the application within the jMonkeyEngine SDK.
Creating Models and Scenes
To create 3D models and scenes, you need a 3D Mesh Editor such as Blender, with an OgreXML Exporter plugin.
Learn how to create UV textures for more complex models, it looks more professional.
3D model editors are third-party products, so please consult their documentation for instructions how to use them. Here is an example workflow for Blender users:
To export your models as Ogre XML meshes with materials:
jMonkeyEngine requires a material file to be named the same name as the model so prior to opening the export dialog make it so. The model will export files named
ModelName.mesh.xmlwith a
ModelName.material, plus (optionally)
ModelName.skeleton.xml, and some JPG files.
Open the menu
to open the exporter dialog.
In the
File Pathfield: Select a target sub-directory of your
Project Assets/Textures/directory. E.g.
Project Assets/Textures/ModelName/. See Best Practices.
In the panel at the bottom left of the export window toggle the following export settings:
Click Export Ogre.
You can now use the jMonkeyEngine SDK to load and view models. You can create scenes from them and write code that loads them into your application.
Blender Buffer Clearing
Before exporting your Blender models, its is recommended that you clean the buffers of any unneeded
Texture or
UV Image. This is a straight forward process that only takes a few minutes. Failure to do so can lead you into a morass of problems, like having more than one AnimControl, duplicate materials and textures, wasted space from worthless images, just to mention a few potential troubles.
- Clearing Blender Material, Texture, UV Image Buffers
Open the
UV Image Editor,
Material Tabor
Texture Tab.
Select the Browse button located next to the material, texture or UV Image name to load the item to be cleared.
While holding Shift down, click the X button, also known as the Unlink datablock button, located next to the loaded item. An item that is unlinked will show a
0before it when viewed by selecting the Browse button and will not be saved if you exit Blender.
Save your file.
From the
Infoheader select
, to close and re-open your file.
The exception to this rule is the
Linked Action buffer, for animations, located in the
Dope Sheet Editor.
- Clearing The Linked Action Buffer
In the
Dope Sheet Editor, change the context to
Action Editor.
Click the
Action to be linkedbutton and select the action you want cleared.
Deselect the F button to prevent it from saving.
Change the editor type from
Dope Sheetto
NLA Editor. You will see the action listed.
Click the Double Down Arrow button next to the action to push it into the stack.
Click the small start next to the track name.
With the mouse inside the
NLA Track List, press X to delete both the track and strip.
Save your file.
From the
Infoheader, select
Save your file again.
From the
Infoheader, select
Change back to the
Dope Sheet Editor.
Click the Browse Action to be linked button and you will see only the baked action remains and the buffer is now clear of unwanted actions. Select your action.
Save your file.

Winter is upon us, and with it brings the cold, snow and ice. Getting around in this weather doesn't have to be a stressful experience - leave your car at home and let us focus on the driving.
Stay safe this winter with these helpful tips to ensure you have an enjoyable ride:
- Check weather reports frequently. Conditions can change quickly, so make sure you are prepared.
- Dress for the weather. Wear loose-fitting layers, which trap heat and allow you to adjust clothing for different conditions. Ensure you are wearing appropriate footwear that provides warmth, traction, and support.
- Stay informed with service updates. Before heading out, check our website, app or Twitter for service changes or detours that may affect you. In severe weather conditions, a snow detour may be in place.
- Be patient. Winter driving conditions can result in delays for everyone – including our buses and CTrains. Give yourself extra time to get to your destination. Please be patient as we're all in this together.
During times of heavy snowfall, we work with our crews to make sure you are safe:
- Clearing occurs within the end of the first 24 hours once the snow has stopped falling.
- Our crew will manage conditions with salt and sand, as clearing does not take place during peak periods when pedestrian traffic is high.
- CTrain tracks are cleared of snow before and after service.
- Many of our CTrain and MAX stations have indoor waiting areas or have heated/covered shelters on the platforms.
Our snow clearing program
Every year Calgary receives an average of 50 inches of snow. With 45 CTrain stations, 135 MAX stations, and nearly 5000 Bus Zones, snow clearing on transit requires careful planning since we can't physically be everywhere at once.
To ensure our customers have the safest commute during winter, here's an overview of our snow program.
CTrain station platforms
Provide snow and ice control to 45 CTrain station platforms and 36 MAX station platforms.
Snow removal occurs prior to the A.M. peak and in the late evening. Snow and ice monitoring occurs throughout the day by applying ice melt to stairs and trouble spots. Snow will always be removed once within a snowfall of at least 2cm of snow.
17 Ave S.E. Transitway
Snow plowing on the transitway is coordinated with City plows along 17 Ave S.E. to ensure snow is cleared off both the transitway and 17 Ave at the same time.
Sidewalks, ramps and pedestrian bridges
Clear all sidewalks adjacent to stations, garages, bus Loops and bus terminals.
Accessibility and priority bus stops
Clear 1,200 priority bus stops.
Bus loops
Plow and sand Park and Ride lots, Bus loading and driving areas.
Snow clearing within 24 hours after a snowfall
City wide transit locations
Clear bus stops throughout the city, CTrain station emergency exit stairs and ramps. Haul snow from bus loops as required.
Snow clearing within 4-7 days after a snowfall
Learn more about how The City clears snow from city streets and bus routes.
Report an issue
To report and snow and ice issue concerning Calgary Transit properties, contact us at 403-262-1000. If you have a snow or ice concern on any of our platforms, please use the Help Phones to inform our staff.
Snow detours
We have identified several areas of the city that are more challenging for our buses to get through when road conditions are extremely snowy or icy. When an Operator deems that trying to get through one of the trouble areas will impact service, we put the route on a snow detour. This allows us to keep to our schedule and maintain service on the route. These special detours are implemented only if absolutely necessary.
We have installed orange signs along most familiar detoured routes to help identify which bus stops may be closed when a snow detour is in effect.
Here's a list of our common routes and detours, however check our Service Updates section, app and Twitter feed for specific information.
