GAINESVILLE — When running back Lloyd Hopkins finished high school two years ago, he was ready physically for big-time college football.
Mentally, though, he wasn't even close.
A 1.7 grade-point average, work habits that admittedly were poor and bad habits learned on the streets in Youngstown, Ohio, made him a risk no major program wanted to take.

Professional Competencies
Conceptual Framework
Personal Information
Foundational Understandings
In July 2009, I received the Recognition of Excellence from Educational Testing Service (ETS) for my performance on the Praxis II Elementary Education Content Knowledge assessment. I achieved a score of 185 out of a possible 200 points. "Your excellent performance earned a score that ranks within the top 15% of all test takers who took this assessment in previous years. This achievement indicates a high level of proficiency in an area critical for professional educators." My performance on this assessment demonstrates my solid understanding of subject matter.
Since math has always been my strongest subject in school, I was most eager to take this methods course and teach this to students. In elementary school, I took an advanced math course in fifth grade based on a test taken in fourth grade. The basis for the class was the students ability to problem solve and essentially test out of the fifth grade curriculum. The course I took instead was very hands on and exploration based. Some of my favorite math memories come from this class I took with students from all over the county. In middle school, my love for math grew as I took Algebra I and II and Geometry. In high school I advanced to Algebra II, Trigonometry and Math Analysis, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, and AP Statistics. My teachers for all of these courses used manipulatives and real life situations often to help us learn, providing me with a great mathematical background. Although not required to take any math courses in college, I have taken a statistics class in relation to psychology for my major. I also have taken an exploratory and foundational math class based on elementary content knowledge. This course focused on why things work the way they do in math and really allowed me to think about basic math in a deeper way. I believe that my background in school with manipulatives and the engaging lessons I was exposed to in my methods coursework have provided me with many great ideas to take into my classroom. The following is a skittle graphing lesson I completed with my students using actual skittles to help them graph the data.
Reading and Language Arts
After having taken a linguistics course as a pre-requisite for the education school, I became very intrigued with the english language. The processes that take place to not only learn a language but the complexities involved in speaking, writing, and comprehending language are also very fascinating to me. For this reason, I was very interested in the Reading and Language Arts methods course I took through the Education School. This course exposed me to the many strategies, skills, and techniques used to teach reading and writing from the very basic skills to the more advanced skills taught in the upper grades. Always an avid reader, it is my goal that all students will enjoy reading and view it as an activity of choice rather than force. Based on my past, I am especially focused on aiding all students in his or her reading ability - emphasizing fluency, comprehension, and re-telling abilities. Through these skills, I believe that students will be able to succeed at readers, no matter the level. It is very much a growing process and can open students up to new worlds to explore. The following is a comprehension lesson taught to a first grade class during my research methods course. The students were very engaged during this lesson and able to focus on re-telling the story for comprehension, a huge component of reading.
Social Studies
Living in Virginia, I have grown up around all sorts of history that provides great lessons and extensions for students. There are many great opportunities to let students experience history that they learn about in the classroom. If it is not possible to visit these locations, there are other ways to bring this experience to the classroom. My research methods course allowed me to explore these various options through map and globe skill lessons, art lessons, biography lessons, and inquiry based lessons. Acquiring all of these skills is important for students of all ages. Incorporating the arts is especially important to me because of the high school program I completed, which was based on the Humanities. We learned about art, philosophy, drama, and music in my courses, which I have carried over to my planning and teaching. I have also extended this learning to college where I have taken basic survey art history courses, private violin lessons, a military history course, and Latin American History course. The following is a lesson I created to use in my first grade classroom on map skills and American symbols and icons.
Although science was not always my strongest subject, I thoroughly enjoyed taking the more exploratory and lab-based science courses in high school. Some of my favorite assignments were in science class because they were more hands-on activities. Completing science research projects in middle and high school also exposed me to a wealth of topics to learn about. I attended and presented at the Virginia Junior Academy of Science for four years as well as the Richmond Metro Science Fair for two years, where I won Honorable Mention awards and a first place award for my projects. This inquiry based science approach is the one I use when planning science lessons. In high school I took Earth Science, Honors Biology, Honors Chemistry, and Honors Physics. Since being in college, I have taken Astronomy with a lab, Physical Geography with a lab, Physiological Psychology, and Foundations in Learning and Memory. The courses I took with labs were very hands on and exploration-based. My science methods course also emphasized this in lesson planning for students. The following is a group lesson planned during the course that was taught to a first grade class called a Science Circus. It was completed during one day and students rotated through various centers that were all tied to a plant unit. It is very exploration based and guided by the students with teachers as facilitators.
ArtIt is through the arts that students are able to best express themselves in my opinion. Therefore, I believe it is essential to integrate all aspects of the arts into the classroom. This can be accomplished through artwork, music, dance, theater, and even philosophy. Especially in the lower grades, which I have had the most experience with, students can convey a message through pictures easier than words sometimes. It is also more beneficial in these situations to have students illustrate his/her thoughts and have them explain the picture instead of struggling through a longer writing assignment. There is also always relevant music that can accompany many units and topics taught in school. Even if it is just played as background music during an entrance or exit ticket to a lesson, or if the students are engaged in the music and studying various components of the song or type of music, it can provide an exciting lesson. From my high school coursework, I have been exposed to art, architecture, drama, and philosophy and feel that I have a solid background to pull from for my classroom.
Physical health is an important topic to cover in school, especially with young students. They are very impressionable and have tons of energy that should be monitored throughout the day. There are a variety of ways to incorporate health related issues into the classroom. In our science methods course, we learned about fun ways to reach out to kinesthetic learners through active math facts, where students are given a math problem they must solve and complete that number of exercises (i.e. 2+4=6; student will complete 6 jumping jacks). This allows students to practice important addition skills while getting out of his/her seat to get some of the wiggles out during the day. Students also learn about the body and the food groups in the P.E./Dance resource they attend at Waller Mill Elementary School. The depth of information varies by grade level, which I noticed while observing; however, the content provided is relevant to what the students can comprehend and truly benefit from individually. Through activities and programs such as these, students can be informed about ways in which to improve and maintain his/her health.

Whoa. It sure looks like somebody wants to make sure she's noticed while on tour with Kanye West in Australia. During an appearance on Tuesday, Kim Kardashian wore a low-cut top that's seriously lower than most of the cleavage-exposing outfits she's worn in the past.
Her bosoms were clearly on display, and the risk of a wardrobe malfunction happening in this thing had to be pretty darn high.
Alas, that didn't stop Kim from posing for a photo with a fan, but then freaking out in the next minute and making the fan delete and retake said photo, you know, because it showed a little too much of her.
Um, what the heck kind of angle was the picture taken from? It seems impossible for Kim's top to be any more revealing than it already is, so the photo must have been a real doozie for her to request that it be deleted.
More from The Stir: Kim Kardashian's Butt & Boobs Battle for Attention in Body-Hugging Dress (PHOTO)
Hmm. Wonder if the fan was annoyed?
And aside from her crazy plunging neckline, check out how short Kim's leather skirt is! Damn. Her legs are looking hotter than ever these days, which can probably be credited to the fact that she's stepped up her gym sessions a bit in an effort to shed a few more pounds. (That she really doesn't need to lose. Whatever.)
But let's get back to the top. Um, if you're going put your girls out there for the world to see, it might be a good idea to refrain from having your picture taken altogether. Just because she was able to filter one fan's photo doesn't mean someone else didn't unintentionally capture a little more than they bargained for.

My daughter invited me over to have dinner with her and her family in the house she purchased from my wife and me in order to provide for her growing family. My grandchildren wanted me to follow them outside so that I could see what was new and to watch them play. While we were outside my daughter wanted me see what she had been doing with her vegetable gardening. She showed me several varieties of squash that had appeared and, as she didn't plant them, wondered if they were some that I planted, which I hadn't. My guess is they were seeds that sprouted from the last hybrids I planted because my understanding is the seed of hybrids do not grow true.
While I was outside I went to inspect the fruit trees that I had planted. As I toured the yard I was surprised to learn that the apricot tree, which was at its harvest time, had not even flowered this year. I also learned that the Anna apple tree had reached its harvest time a month ahead of schedule. These anomalies seemed very strange to me but not as strange as the Mexican lime tree I planted nearly a decade ago. When my daughter moved in about a year ago and asked for an inventory of the citrus trees I told her that I had planted, from left to right; an orange, tangerine, Myer lemon, Ruby Red grapefruit, and a Mexican lime. I further explained that in all the years of the lime's existence it had never once fruited. I also told her that I had often thought about removing it and planting something else in its place. However, I never could bring myself to kill an otherwise healthy tree. With all this history I was certainly shocked when I stood before that Mexican lime tree and saw that it was covered with limes.
I wanted to share my surprise with my wife who had gone back to Iowa to visit her mother and other family members so I promptly took a picture phone and sent it along with a text describing what I found. Her response was: "OMG! We get to try some right?"
I was reminded of Pete Seeger's setting of the Ecclesiastes verse: "To everything there is a season," and this was the season for that Mexican lime tree. Well, maybe there is a season to everything but I have observed that the seasons are not constant. Change seems to be the order of business and although I am often surprised by the variations over time I suspect the early apple harvest is a result of our local weather dynamics, as for example, the patterns of frost. As for the apricot tree not flowering this year I noticed a dead branch that shouldn't have been, which led me to conclude it had been infected by a virus or other type of infection.
Why did it take the Mexican lime tree nearly a decade to bear fruit? I certainly do not know the answer to this question nor did the people down at the nursery where I had purchased it. What I do know is there were two major reasons I had planted the Mexican lime tree in the first place; Mexican beer and fish tacos, and that is two things that are always in season.

Utilization Properties of Jatropha De-Oiled Cake for Removal of Nickel (II) from Aqueous Solutions
In the present study, jatropha oil cake (JOC), a waste produced from processing jatropha seeds for biodiesel production, has been investigated for the removal of nickel (II) from aqueous solutions. Jatropha oil cake contains different functional groups that can participate in the metal ion complexation. Jatropha oil cake is used in its natural form (JOCN) as well as in its immobilized form (JOCB). Batch experiments were performed for adsorption of Ni (II) by JOCN and JOCB. Parameters affecting the adsorption, such as the effect of adsorbent dose, pH, the initial concentration of metal ion, agitation speed, and contact time, were studied for the maximum removal efficiency. Removal efficiency was found to be 62% and 63% for Ni (II) at pH 6.2 in its natural and immobilized forms, respectively. Maximum adsorption occurred within an hour for Ni (II) with JOCN and 90 min for JOCB. The equilibrium data was analyzed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms.

Historians are a brilliant lot, but sometimes they do odd things. One of those oddish behaviors aims at constructing a kind of timekeeping that borrows from the socio-economic "qualities" or attributes of an era. This "period" of time then receives a name, say, the time of Renewal or "Renaissance," for those who love French cooking.
One could name periods of time (eras) by any number of different kinds of qualities. In different fields of history, say "art history," they refer to the "Romantic Period," while those less concerned with cultural history might simply dub this "the 19th century," or "Industrial Revolution." Finance people think of this as the era of "the Unstoppable Rise of the Forward Contract" (before they had "futures," they had "forward contracts").
Periodization, the art and science of naming specific periods of time with historically-credible labels, began early on with historians. At the first, they used empires to label periods, while imperial Presidencies helped with this labeling process after WW II — in the era of Postmodern historiography. I am hoping next for the era of the rise of the imperial historian. Remember, historians always have the last laugh, and they control the power of collective memory. So be nice. Or you could end up a robber Baron extreme with multiple psychoses, and a horrific personality.
But let us return to the fascinating idea that one might keep time by labeling specific eras in historical writing — this keeps time by noting the salient features (qualities), rather than by numbering a sequence of time units like years (e.g. this happened in 1492). Quality versus Quantity. Sometimes an event conveying a quality can even serve to begin a timeline — for example, the event we call the beginning of writing systems. Historians account the beginning of history as the same thing as (coterminous with) the beginning of writing. The same is true with check-cashing. You simply cannot bounce a check until you learn to write. "History" without writing is called "pre-history," an era when things were run by a bunch of illiterate Neanderthals who couldn't do a damn thing write. They invented the DMV.
Different disciplines will necessarily have an outlook that views history differently, each from the others, since each field of inquiry has a distinct value system, placing its work as "central to the development of the human potential." Logicians could easily labels eras as "Aristotelian, Platonist, Nominalist, Scholastic, Predicate calculus/ Set Theory, Logical Positivism, Computational logic, the rise of Mathematical Logic," and the like. Yet this construction of "eras" seems in no way arbitrary, but roots itself in very important features of actual historical, and socio-cultural trends and event-complexes (e.g. "Civil War").
It does raise some further, interesting questions, however. If one might label eras variously, what about the ways in which the scholarly past has viewed time (Empires often conscribe the "Assyrian Period" or "Neo-Chaldean" in older textbooks); or some other important or foundational question — how we view "government," or "math systems," or religions. We now live in a post-Christian era (on my view).
Again, on my view, the history of humanity is a history of a very specific kind. It is a history of progress, the continuous, if bouncy and uneven, growth and development of wisdom and understanding — of many different kinds of cultural activities, from logic and science to art and literature. What if, instead of using the art of periodization to indicate this progress (which is fine by me), we instead created a math and logic system that shows or accounts for this progress? Okay — what does that mean?
For example, the growth of humans in a specific population occurs by a kind of doubling process that can be described (back to numbers again) in terms of a geometric progression and a "geometric mean." The population bean-counters already know this shorthand. I have begun a "hobby-like" quest to see if I can combine both relatively simply math and relatively simply logic into a hybrid system that accounts for human history's innovative and progressive trends. I am not as pessimistic as are many on this idea. People often follow in the collective rational kinds of patterns that individuals do not, and some of these patterns might escape our notice for some time. Population growth, money growth, the growth of the value of real estate, cost of life insurance, number of people involved in charity, the administration of justice, number of patents granted (of specific kinds), and many other markers can be used to study the value and growth of human progress. I believe that the correct approach to this subject, trimmed and managed by the principles of the LON (light of nature), will in fact to some extent, show a rational set of patterns we can identify as rationality describable. Moore's Law expemplifies this tendency, and shows a kind of rationality to human (cultural and technological) development, or at least certain aspects of cultural development.
I shall try to keep readers up to date of my adventure in looking to this or that kind of math of logic, and how the LON inflects this or that application of it to describe the history of our progress. This math-logic system (prob. a hybrid) will attempt a first — show the rational development of "math over time" or logic as it unfolds over time as human progress. This effort will prove a "dynamic math-logic" that unfolds over time — transchronic math-logic system: that shows the logic of progress — without periodization. If you think it would take a miracle to get it right, remember this. On the Sophic, Ethical Monotheist view, three miracles form the necessary preconditions for our being here (and doing anything scholarly). The LON is thus itself an immediate creation of our beloved, and most excellent King. The whole enchilada is miraculous to begin with. I still cannot get over this. Life is a miracle (transcendent), and wisdom is its crown and glory.
Periodization, move over.

He filed chapter 11 with Phantom (I wouldn't be surprised if this is the end result of Dyson as well) and they sold the name to Euro-Pro (that's why you still see the new ones) but there are no parts available for the old models.
Where can I get filters (Part No. BX-75091, HEPA, Part No.BX-7506, Pre filter) for my Fantom Lightning vacuum cleaner?

15 Wrestlers we MIGHT never see in the WWE
WWE is considered by most fans to be the top wrestling promotion in the world. It's in that company that the athletes make the most money, travel to the most places, and reach the largest fan base. There's a common saying among WWE fans and commentators: you haven't truly made it in the wrestling business until you've wrestled for WWE.
That statement holds more merit nowadays than it ever has since WWE has reached the very top of the wrestling industry on the planet. The promotion that comes the closest to matching WWE is New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), yet their market is still very much domestic in nature.
But if it were all about the money and nothing else, then WWE's roster would be composed of the very best on the entire planet...but they aren't. Though WWE's roster does indeed boast some truly impressive names, there are still plenty of wrestlers out there that have not performed for the world's biggest promotion, nor do they have the intention of ever doing so.
Here are fifteen wrestlers that, for one reason or another, will never be seen in a WWE ring.
#15 Bad Luck Fale
The "Underboss" of the Bullet Club fills a very important role in NJPW. As the token 'foreign giant' Fale is booked frequently to be the monster that the resident babyface Japanese wrestlers need to overcome. He does his job well, and people are usually impressed with his feats of mammoth strength, even if that comes at the cost of genuine grappling skill.
At 35 years old, Fale is getting up there in wrestling years, and thus a change of promotion wouldn't work in his favour. Due to the relatively shorter stature of most of his co-workers, Fale has relative job security in his role as the super-heavyweight threat. But if he were to switch to WWE, this wouldn't exist, as Fale would be surrounded by wrestlers that tower over him, like Braun Strowman, Kane and even Roman Reigns.
As a result, we shouldn't expect "the Underboss" to leave NJPW, especially since there's still plenty of money to be made as a member of the Bullet Club.

DONATED goods, such as refrigerators, scanning machines and delivery bedding for expecting mothers, are gathering dust at the Chikangwe proposed 24-hour maternity wing since 2015 due to financial and water crises.
Zim-Health, a non-governmental organisation from Netherlands, donated the goods to ease maternal health challenges in Karoi town, covering Chikangwe and Claudia suburbs, as well as the Nyama resettlement area and was expected to benefit 15 000 women.
A maternity wing was established to assist expecting mothers before referring them to Karoi District Hospital, catering for 32 outlying clinics in a district with a 329 197-strong population, according to the 2012 national census.
The official opening of the wing has been staggered due to lack of coordination from senior officials and financial resources coupled by the worsening water crisis affecting the farming town situated about 204 km north-west of Harare.
The problems have been blamed on lack of coordination within the municipality's management, with one councillor claiming that the council approved the employment of midwives, who have "a dark past".
The ministry of Health and Child Care reportedly demanded that the community hall be fenced before it could authorise the use of the maternity wing, but nothing was done.
Two full council meetings were postponed in May, as policy makers wanted a briefing on the progress from the housing department.
According to the June full council minutes, Ward 1 councillor, Travolta Matekenya raised concern that the facility was yet to become functional long after the set deadline and this was prejudicing residents.
Sha Mujuruki responded that there had been no progress made.
"She (Mujuruki) said nothing had changed and everything was at a standstill and work was still pending since management had not discussed anything pertaining to financing for the maternity wing," read the minutes in part.
Matekenya further asked about the challenges being faced since most goods were donated and council input was minimal, but the director argued that financial challenges were the hindrance.
Matekenya, however, argued that the real problem was "lack of commitment and incompetence on management's part".
Health officials at Karoi district and Chinhoyi provincial hospitals were evasive on the matter.
"We are only witnessing pregnant women registering here for antenatal and postnatal care. We do not know how they would have delivered, as the clinic is still to offer the service here," a source close to the development said.
The maternity wing is currently being used by breastfeeding mothers, who are on antiretroviral therapy and a recent visit revealed that it has not been working as a maternity wing, with three beds in the other room gathering dust, while scores of other donated materials are locked in another room.
"We had a challenge of a sink. It was installed, but nothing has been done to show commitment on when the maternity wing will be opened," another source said.
A seven-member commission appointed by Environment Water and Climate ministry to see if council had the capacity to take over water from the Zimbabwe National Water Authority recently was informed that the maternity wing could not be officially opened because of water challenges.
Karoi Residents and Ratepayers Association chairman Freck Kuchekwa expressed concern over lack of progress on the facility.
"We are concerned that expecting mothers have to use a district referral hospital, when donated goods are gathering dust because there is no water to make it function," he said.
Karoi Town Council town clerk, Wellington Mutikani said the council would soon use the public health and amenities cross-cutting team to investigate the matter.
"Public health is council's priority and issues of maternal health cannot be overlooked," he said.
The Zimbabwe Demographic Health Survey says at least 20% of Zimbabwean births for the last five years were home deliveries, which have a negative impact on maternal mortality.
Maternal mortality occurs when a woman dies while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and site of the pregnancy.
The causes maybe related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management, but not from accidental or incidental causes and the Karoi scenario aptly points to one such potential case.- newsday.co.zw

Jesse Eisenberg has been cast as Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons will portray Alfred in the untitled Batman vs Superman.
This follows the announcement on Friday of pushing the Warner Bros. film to May 6, 2016 from its original slot of July, 2015.
Ben Affleck, donning the cape and cowl as Batman, and Gal Gadot, as Wonder Woman, join the returning Man of Steel cast of Henry Cavill, Amy Adams and Laurence Fishburne. Zac Snyder also returns as director.
Irons, who portrayed Alfred in Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, will be replacing Michael Caine in Batman vs Superman, while Eisenberg, an odd choice for his age and look, follows the likes of Gene Hackman and Kevin Spacey as Superman's famous arch nemesis.

OK Everyone! Here are a few photos from our latest Engagement Session. We did it in the Strip and everywhere we turned there was another colorful and cool opportunity. Kalee and Michael were a blast (and even dodged traffic for a few shots…totally fell in love with them at that moment!) and they were so easy work with. Can't wait for their wedding in 2011.
So enjoy! Thanks Kalee & Michael! 🙂

As I mentioned, I had high hopes for myself at this race. My goal was to run it in under 19 minutes. I haven't done this since college, so it was a lofty one. But, with my recent marathon traning, I've managed to get my time down to a 19:05, so it wasn't too farfetched. Funny, it doesn't sound like much, but the difference between a 19:05 and a 18:59 is huge for me. I've been stuck in the low 19s for over 3 years now. Grrr. My plan was to start off at a 6:15 pace and hold that through mile 2. After that, assuming I wasn't dying, I was hoping to let it loose run the final mile in just under 6 minutes. When we got started, there was quite a bit of bustling due to the size of the crowd and I had to hop up on the sidewalk to find some room. Within a couple miutes, though, the crowd began to spread out and I was able to find a spot, settle in and get a rhythm going. I passed mile 1 in 6:10. Ok, I thought to myself, that was good. I had a little wiggle room, but was pretty close to my target. I was breathing hard, but I felt like I could manage, so I tried to settle my nerves with some deep breaths and focus on the fact that I only had to hang on for 2 more miles. At a 6 minute pace, this was definitely going to be tough for me, but mentally, the sound of only 2 miles to go when I'm typically running 26.2 was incredibly easy to digest. I didn't see the marker for mile 2 so I just tried to hold my pace and stick with the runners who were around me. Eventually, I started to feel the burn in my chest and I had a feeling we were getting close. But, when I looked at my watch, it said 2.8 miles. Close but not as close as I'd hoped. And then something strange happened. My playlist, which I knew was exactly 20 minutes long, started over. I wasn't totally sure about my pace, but I was pretty convinced that I'd been holding steady in the low 6s. Thus, if my playlist was done than I should be done. Up ahead, I saw people turning for the final .1, so I attempted to shift gears and bring it home. At the corner, I looked up at the race clock. It said 21 minutes. My reaction? WTF? And then I thought, well, maybe I was more tired than I realized. And then, whoa, I'm not even close to my goal time. And then, wow, what a major bummer. Yes, I went through that whole range of emotions in .1 miles. When I crossed the line, I stopped my watch and checked it multiple times hoping that the official clock was wrong. No dice. 21:19.
Jess, Kirsten and I found each other and discussed the situation. It was laughable and highly annoying. All three of us had goals and because of the discrepency, we had no idea where we could have truly netted out. We cooled down together and continued to talk, fume really, about what went down. Jess and I said goodbye to Kirsten, who couldn't join us for brunch, and headed over to meet up with the rest of our teammates. When I walked into the restaurant, the first words out of my mouth were, hey ladies!! Congrats on all your 3.45 race PRs today! That got a good laugh. Although, it was, in fact, true as none of us had ever raced this distance before. And I can safely say that none of us will ever do it again. Aside from Jess and a couple other birds, I hadn't met any of the crew that had gathered, so I got everyone's names and then we all settled in to enjoy our brunch. Amazing how easy it is to hang with a group of people that you've never met when you share a common interest. By the end of our meal, I felt like I really knew everyone and decided I wanted to invite the whole crew over for dinner because I hadn't had enough time to chat with each of them. Halfway through, we all got an email from the race director that said the following:
Listen to this:
Set On Fire - Magic Giant
CONGRATS to Amy Upshaw and Ellen McKinna, winners of the SKECHERS giveaway. Please email me your addresses and shoe sizes (for running) ASAP. Thanks to all for entering! And thanks again to SKECHERS for the shoes. May you all have a very fast day.

Tattooed jobseeker told to "put bag over face" September 30, 2010Posted by Ian in Recruitment.

I am not sure what job was she applying for but this is definitely NOT the way to treat people.
UK – A British female jobseeker with 30 tattoos and 20 piercings was told to "put a bag over her head" if she wants to be hired.
Hayley O'Neil, 23, went to recruitment firm Jobcentre Plus in Blackburn Lancashire in search of a job, only to be put down by her consultant, reported UK Telegraph. Her interviewer had told her, "On first impressions, do you think anyone would hire you?"
According to O'Neil, he even added, "Look at it this way, if you were to stand behind a wall – or put a paper bag over your face, do you think you would have a better chance?'
O'Neil eventually left the job centre in tears without securing any interviews after he said, "Who would hire you looking like that?'"
O'Neil, who received her first tattoo from her mother as an 18th birthday present, said, "I just felt so humiliated. I couldn't believe what this guy was saying."
Even though she offered to remove her piercings, O'Neil claimed that the man went on to make degrading comments about her appearance. According to O'Neil's statement, the recruitment agent later attempted to apologise which she did not accept.
However, a spokesman for the Department of Work and Pensions has denied any derogatory remarks made during the job interview. But he added that Jobcentre Plus usually provides job search tips for candidates such as "dressing appropriately when going for an interview or visiting a potential employer".

Is a BlackBerry tablet coming next week? September 27, 2010Posted by Ian in Mobile, Tech.
Tags: Blackberry, Blackberry tablet, iPad, Research In Motion, RIM, tablet, tablet PC
add a comment
(CNET) — The much-discussed BlackBerry tablet may finally come to fruition as soon as next week.
It's been talked about for months, but Research In Motion has yet to acknowledge that such a device exists. But today The Wall Street Journal reported that the Canadian smartphone maker may reveal its own iPad-like tablet at its developer conference in San Francisco, which starts Monday.
The Journal's unnamed sources say the device is not ready for shipping to customers, but will by sometime during the fourth quarter of this year.
The BlackBerry tablet–sometimes referred to as the "BlackPad" since RIM bought the domain blackpad.com–is said to have a 7-inch touchscreen and at least one camera, maybe two, according to the Journal. Previous reports have said the BlackPad would have a screen closer to the size of the 9.7-inch iPad.
In line with previous reports, the tablet will not have its own cellular service but will be a companion device to a BlackBerry smartphone, the newspaper reported. That means the tablet will have Wi-Fi access but will need to be tethered to a BlackBerry for a 3G connection.
Perhaps most interesting is what RIM apparently has planned on the software front. It's been reported before, but the Journal's story reiterates that the tablet won't use RIM's new BlackBerry 6 mobile OS. Instead it will use a new OS from QNX Software, a company RIM purchased earlier this year.
The report says the QNX software could eventually replace the software on all RIM smartphones.
How much the device will cost is still unknown. Since it's not being sold with wireless service, it seems unlikely it would be sold through a carrier the way BlackBerrys are, and that would mean no carrier subsidy like newer tablets from Dell and Samsung have.

HANCOCK - Hancock basketball coach Jeff Spielman stared intently at the rim on the west end of the gymnasium.
He shook his head as he left the floor moments after the Clear Spring Blazers held on to defeat the Panthers 53-52 before a packed senior night crowd Friday night.
He was probably wondering what happened to the imaginary lid on that rim that had denied the Panthers in the first half, but was wide open for the Blazers at a most inopportune time.
Just before the first half ended, Hancock took no less than a dozen point blank shots at that basket only to come away down by 11 points.

USS Enterpise: Changes made to Kelvin Universe Enterprise.
I recently viewed Star Trek Beyond (review coming shortly) and I noticed that the USS Enterprise was altered for this movie. An in-Universe explanation would be that the ship was re-fit. However, in the movie no explanation was given for the re-fit redesign.
I am posting this little rant to say I really do not care for the updated version used for this recent movie. I have run across many fans that do not like this Enterprise to begin with. Many call this ship the JJ-Prise in rather pejorative terms. Although, I do like all incarnations of the infamous ship, the Enterprise-D being my list favorite, the 2009 incarnation is one of my most favorites. I just love the aesthetic flow this ship has and the larger Nacelles do look powerful. Concept artist Ryan Church's initial designs were modeled and refined by set designer Joseph Hiura. This design was then given to ILM for further refinement and developed into photo-realistic models by Alex Jaeger's team. One change I particularly like (most fans do not) is the blue color, instead of red, to the Bussard Collectors at the front of the Nacelles.
Above is the redesign. The Nacelles have been reduced in size although they do maintain the initial shape. The struts the Nacelles are resting upon are thinner and angled back. The neck of the ship is thinner and does not tapper back toward the shuttle bay as it does in the original. The flow now seems off to me and the nacelles are too far back and too small losing the look of power the original had. If they were going for a similar look to the Prime Universe Re-fit/Enterprise-A design then they failed.
Here is another pic to examine the two designs side-by-side.
*SPOILERS* This redesigned Enterprise was destroyed in the movie. Despite the redesign I was sad to see her go far too soon. At the end of the movie we were introduced to the new USS Enterprise NCC-1701 A for the Kelvin Universe. I didn't see it enough to have much of a judgment although I do like what I saw. Here is a pic of it but keep in mind it may not be 100% accurate and may be subject to change.
Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens
In my effort to restart this blog I need to catch up on some movie reviews. Since Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was just released, how about I review the movie that came out before it! LOL!
As I have said before I am a huge Star Trek fan but I also love Star Wars too…just not as much as Trek. Yet, I always thought there was something in the aesthetic and pacing of Star Wars that Star Trek should borrow and learn from. When JJ Abrams, a lover of Star Wars, directed the 2009 reboot movie, Star Trek, my wish came true. In the feel and look of the movie there are elements of Star Wars in that Star Trek film and although some fans noticed that too and complained…I was not one of them. Therefore, when the next trilogy in Star Wars was going to be filmed, it seemed only natural that JJ Abrams would be selected to direct this movie.
I want to comment on one of the complaints The Force Awakened received from the minority of the people that did not like it. The complaint is that it is just a rehash or is derivative of the original 1977 film Star Wars, later retitled Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. I certainly do not deny this accusation. I actually embrace it and it is one of the reasons I do enjoy this movie greatly.
Some have complained that nostalgia is one of its selling points and I have no shame in agreeing with that. I was 14 in 1977 when the original movie came out and I loved it! It had a huge impact on me. So seeing Han, Chewie, Luke and Leia on the big screen was a huge part of this movie. That doesn't mean the rest of the story wasn't good, it was, even if it has elements of the first movie, it does!
Luke has disappeared and it has been thirty years since the Death Star was once again blown up and the Empire defeated. However, evil has not gone away. We have new characters that are very interesting to me. the rebelling storm trooper, Finn, the scavenger, Rey, and Kylo Ren, the son of Han Solo and General Leia, are all great additions to the Star Wars universe. The movie leaves us with a mystery of who is this woman Ren who wields the Force so easily? The special effects are excellent as JJ Abrams wisely knows how to weave practical effects with the CGI.
I will not reveal any spoilers of this movie. I will say this is/was a great way to start the new trilogy. It is visually stunning with everything you would want to see in a Star Wars movie. Although it does have elements of the original story, they are done with respect and reverence to the original.
Star Trek Into Darkness: Revisited
I re-watched this movie a couple of times recently. I still enjoy the movie very much, yet despite my enjoyment there was something gnawing at my stomach with this movie and I had a difficult time putting my finger on it. Then as I watched it again twice I finally figured out what is bothering me.
There are two important moments in the film and in my opinion this franchise had not yet earned the importance of them. Let me explain: I still have mixed feeling about them using Khan as the villain. It was done so well in the original series episode Space Seed and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan with Ricardo Montalbán I really wanted them to leave it alone. It didn't need to be redone in my opinion. This takes nothing away from Benedict Cumberbatch and his acting. He did a superb job in the role. It just didn't feel like Khan to me.
Here is why. The movie was basically a remake of both the original series episode Space Seed and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. In a sense Star Trek into Darkness emotionally piggy backed on the known threat that Khan was in those two shows. It even took a cameo by Leonard Nimoy as Spock Prime to drive that point home. The problem, as I see it, Star Trek Into Darkness did not earn the tension, the threat, that Khan was in this movie. To the crew of the Enterprise in Star Trek Into Darkness they had no clue who Khan was and in many ways, since Kirk or Spock really did not have much of a relationship with this Khan, he really wasn't the big threat that the movie likes to pretend he was. We, the audience, felt the threat that Khan was in the movie because we had a multi-year relationship with the character!
Sure, Khan/Harrison did some bad things at the start of the movie but he could have been any villain. Heck, they could have made Cumberbatch the rouge Captain Garth of Izar from the original series episode Whom God's Destroy. It would have worked just as well. Or he could have been a totally new villain with the same story and it would not have made much of a difference. So for me, this version of Khan lacked the history with the crew of the Enterprise to be such a big deal.
The same type of issue shows itself with the death of Kirk. In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan the death of Spock was so powerful because both the crew and the audience had a long standing history with the character. In the rebooted Star Trek these relationships are not as well established. Just because we throw the name Kirk and Spock on these actors doesn't mean we have the same emotional connection with these characters as we did/do with the original characters and actors and their portrayal of the characters.
In this universe/time-line Kirk and Spock are barely friends. At the start of Star Trek Into Darkness Spock betrays Kirk for violating the Prime Directive and it creates a problem for this growing friendship. Toward the end of this movie Kirk dies instead of Spock and Spock, in anguish over the loss of his friend, screams KHAAAAAN!! like Shatner did in the Wrath of Khan. However, the whole things feels hollow. This Kirk and Spock do not have the multi-year history as friends which made the death of one of them so moving. These two characters have not earned that intimacy yet! Sure, you could see this new Spocks reaction over Kirks death as a way to say that he regrets betraying Kirk at the start of the movie, it still lacks the emotional jolt the scene was going for because these two characters are not yet solid in their friendship.
Having said all of that I still do like the movie. It has a good story and good acting along with great special effects. Benedict Cumberbatch was spectacular. I just wished he wasn't playing Khan.
In the next movie I do hope they do not rehash other characters from the original series. Well, at least not as the main villain. In truth I hope I hope they do give us someone and something new. I desire to see the new crew in exploration and wish that the enemy they face is some new anomaly or force of nature.
Star Trek Time Line
Less than a month from now Star Trek Into Darkness will come out in theaters here in the US. I must confess that I am on message boards where people in Australia have already seen the film so I know the majority of the spoilers. This blog post however, will NOT CONTAIN ANY SPOILERS!
I am also working my way through the original series on the remastered DVDs. I really love the 1960s original series. I also love Star Trek: The Next Generation and also Voyager. I could never get into Star Trek: Deep Space 9 beyond a handful of episodes that I enjoy and the same goes for the final series called Enterprise. I do like all of the movies even the so-called "bad ones" Like Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and Star Trek: Nemesis the last movie to feature the Next Generation crew.
I also love JJ Abram's last Star Trek movie…it really is one of my favorites, if not my very favorite. Yet I sill have some struggles with it. My main struggle is where to place this movie in the time line along with my other favorite Star Trek shows? Yup, I am a big old nerd concerned about such things.
Here is the problem. They have two future characters, Spock and Nero, a renegade Romulan ready for revenge that travel back in time. Or do they? The writers of the movie Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have stated that the Narada (Nero's ship) by going back in time and destroying the USS Kelvin, an laternate time line gets established but it doesn't erase the old timeline. While I am fine with that concept, the problem is that the movie really fails to communicate that concept. In many ways the movie plays like a typical Star Trek time travel episode where in the end everything is set right…except in this case there is no reset button at the end.
Uhura says something about an alternate reality but that is a vague statement. While the term alternate reality is a synonym for a parallel universe which is a hypothetical or fictional self-contained separate reality coexisting with one's own, much of the movie plays out as if Spock and Nero are from the future of the reality of the central characters. The writers want you to think both things at the same time and that is what gets confusing. They treat Nero and Spock Prime as if they are from the future of Young Spock and Young Kirk when in reality they are not from their future if the alternate reality theory is true.
Take the destruction of Vulcan for example. If the alternate reality theory is true, Spock Prime (old Spock) really is not witnessing the destruction of his planet Vulcan, but the Vulcan from this parallel universe or alternate reality. In Spock Prime's reality his home planet, the one we first saw in the original series episode, "Amok Time" still exists in the original reality.
Lets take the destruction of Romulus. Supposedly it took place in the regular Prime Universe or reality and that by going through the Black Hole Nero and Spock Prime end up in the alternate reality where Romulus still exists. When Nero is interrogating Captain Pike and Pike says that Romulus still exists and Nero screams that it has happened (the destruction of Romulus), why didn't Pike tell him…or someone tell him…that they are in a new reality and that in this reality Romulus still exists?
Bu they don't say anything because, as I said, the movie plays out as if it is all occurring in the prime universe that we all love…but this time without a reset button. The loss of Vulcan, Spock's mother, Kirk's father etc, has more of an emotional punch if all of the characters are from the prime universe.
My struggle with that is I don't care for the idea that old Trek has been erased through the actions of this Trek reboot. So I will accept the writers intent even though I think the evidence is pretty flimsy. I do like the movie, honestly I do…depite the problem.
I also had a scenario where Trek 09 does take place in an already preexisting reality completely separate from the original Trek time line. In other words, Spock Prime and Nero really are from the future of young Spock and young Kirk as depicted in the movie and they are not from the original time line. The only problem with that is it is hard to see Leonard Nimoy as Spock Prime and not think of him as the same Spock we all have known and loved. For this scenario to work I would have to see Zac Quinto as the older version of Spock. I agree with the many fans who wished they had done a straight out-and-out reboot instead of the half-reboot that we got.
Here come the Summer Blockbusters!!! Part 1
It is that time of year! Summer Blockbuster Season! The season begins in May so I would like to highlight the movies that I am interested in seeing. This first movie actually comes out April 19th! I will not be placing these movies in the order they are released, but more in the order of my interest.
Man of Steel (June 14)
Superman, my all time favorite Superhero, is getting a new start in the theaters. I have been waiting for this for a long time! General Zod is the main villain and has not been seen in a major motion picture since Superman II over 30 years ago. Directed by Zack Snyder (of 300, Watchmen) and produced by Chrisopher Nolan of the Batman movies. Now I was fearful we would get a dark brooding Superman, but from all resports that is not how this movie will be played. It will be played like it is happning in the real world, but it will not be as dark as the Batman trilogy. Henry Cavill stars as Kal-El, Clark Kent, Superman, the Man of Steel.
Star Trek Into Darkness (May 17)
Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto are back as Kirk and Spock, but I am very excited to see if Benedict Cumberbatch can be evil enough on his own to become a legendary sci-fi villain. Rumors are still flying around the net to just who he is playing. As a HUGE Star Trek fan I cannot wait to see this new installment of the rebooted franchise. This movie looks to have more action and adventure than the 2009 Star Trek and I am fine with that!
Pacific Rim (July 12)
This movie will have to tide me over until next year's Godzilla comes out in May of 2014. "Today we are cancelling the apocalypse!" Directed by Guillermo del Toro (of Cronos, Blade II, Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth) the movie features giant monsters (Kaiju) and human-driven robots to match them. This movie is Sci-fi as its best, and with the director being a fan of the giant monster genre he has crafted a movie with fantastic detail and designed to overwhelm our nerdy sci-fi expectations.
Oblivion (April 19)
The second feature from sci-fi filmmaker Joe Kosinski (of Tron Legacy), this time envisioning a futuristic world where humans have been driven off Earth to space stations above a desolate planet. Tom Cruise stars with Olga Kurylenko and Morgan Freeman. The special effects look stunning. There is still a lot about the story that is under wraps. Cruise and Freeman are two of my favorite actors so it will be very interesting to see them together. Although I often do not like depressing dystopian movies this one looks more like an action adventure with mystery thrown in.
Iron Man 3 (May 3)
The first Iron Man movie is one of the best Superhero movies ever made. (until I see Man of Steel) Yes, I enjoyed it more than Batman Begins which came out the same year, 2005. Iron Man 2 was a bit of a let down even though I still enjoyed the movie. If the trailer is any indication this looks to have upped the action. Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow and Sir Ben Kinglsey round out this all star cast.
Stay tuned for Part 2 on Friday!
Why so Serious?
Due to a shoulder injury that is not healing fast enough I will not be posting my Legal Succession series. I will get back to it as soon as I feel better. So instead of not posting at all I will post a little bit each week.
The Joker did ask a good question. Why so serious? The dark, realistic and moody science fiction film is all the rage now. Sparked by the success of the Nolan Batman Trilogy many movie franchises are taking the dark and serious approach to these films. Although serious, dark and moody has been the go-to tone of many films the recent Marvel movies and the Avengers were very succesful in striking the balance between serious action and fun.
I do think serious and dark has its place, I just do not want a steady diet of it. I will mention three movies that are coming out this year, and one coming out next year, and discuss my feelings about the tone of theese films.
Man of Steel: This is the one I am most cautious about. Nuke the fridge reports that at a recent screening people are saying it will be one of the best movies of the year and that it is an action packed film that is not as serious as the trailers present. To me that is good news. I want to see a serious Superman film. I also want it to have some fun and great action and adventure. Although I loved the Reeves films, I am in the mood for something more serious, just not as serious as the Nolan Batman Trilogy.
Star Trek Into Darkness: Star Trek has always been dramatic with bits of humor sprinkled about liberally and naturally. This new movie seems very intense and I am really looking forward to it. I am trusting that there will be some moments of some levity and that it is also has some great action and adventure.
Now one for 2014…
Godzilla: I love Godzilla movies. We have the very dark and serious 1954 original (and the 1956 American version of the original). Since then a few movies came close to being as serious, Return of Godzilla in 1984/85 and the 2001 Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah; Giant Monsters all out Attack. Many other Godzilla movies were more light in tone and were loads of fun. Since the director, Gareth Edwards, said he wants this movie to recreate that original tone, I for one am ready for a dark and serious Godzilla movie.
It will be interesting how the tone of these films actually pan out. It will also be interesting to see how long this trend continues.
EDIT: here is a link to someone who supossedly has also seen the Man of Steel movie. Some very light spoilers. http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/nailbiter111/news/?a=75176
What is coming in the new year??
Like last year there were many movies coming out that I was looking forward to and 2013 is no exception. Today I want to take a brief look at some of the movies I am looking forward to. One of the interesting aspects of following movies is that despite all my work some studios keep their movies close to the chest and I will not even hear about some of them until it is close to their release date. I will only highlight some of the movies I am looking forward to. If I talked about all of them this post would be book length!
Here are my top 3 that I am looking forward to.
1. The Man of Steel. Starring Henry Cavill as Superman and directed by Zac Snyder. I have been a fan of Superman since I was very small. He is by far my favorite Superhero. Christopher Nolan has been on board as a producer and he and Snyder want to bring a sense of realism to Superman. Some fans, like myself, do not want to see Superman being a dark and brooding character. He isn't Batman after all. Despite that slight worry I am very optimistic about the movie. From the trailers I have seen I am almost giddy with anticipation. I also really love the redesigned costume. This movie also features Zod as the villain who has not been seen since Superman II. Superman II has been my favorite Superman movie so far therefore I am happy to see Zod return. This movie is a reboot of the franchise and will have no relation to the Christopher Reeve Superman films. Sometimes I am not crazy about origin stories because it takes too long for the superhero to show up, but from the trailers I have seen it does seem like Superman will be seen a great deal of the movie.
2. Star Trek Into Darkness. I have been a fan of Star Trek since I saw the original series in syndication back in the early 70s. I have loved all of the movies, for the most part, and the other series in the franchise…except for DS9 which I could never get into. After the poor showing of Star Trek: Nemesis the Franchise was pretty much dead in the water…or should that be dead in space? Then along comes JJ. Abrams who reboots the original series characters and delivered a great movie that rescued the franchise from the abyss. A couple of trailers have been released and as much as I enjoyed the most recent movie this looks to top that one. A madman is on the loose (ok, that is nothing new) and Kirk looses his Captain's chair due to being reckless and must find a way back to his proper place while saving the galaxy once again.
3. Pacific Rim. Giant Monsters rise from the Pacific via a dimensional portal and begins to destroy the earth. In a last-ditch attempt giant robots are formed to combat these giant beasts. I just love giant monster movies! The trailer to this does look pretty awesome. Yeah, the robots have a Transformers vibe to them but from what I have seen the movie looks like it will be great. I haven't seen too many of the monsters and not sure much of the plot beyond the synopsis but giant monsters fighting giant robots?…how much more does a Nerd like myself want?
Godzilla comes out in 2014 and had it come out this year it would have been a trifecta for me. Superman, Star Trek and Godzilla was how my love for science fiction started when I was young.
There are many more movies coming out this year…that is the focus of this blog, to feature what is up and coming and also to look nostalgically at the past.
Keep checking back as I will feature more movies for the coming year!
Another Star Trek Into Darkness trailer is up
Although this is not the one from the IMAx theaters, this 2 minute trailer is the one being shown prior to the Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. This has some new footage and it looks spectacular!! I cannot wait for this movie!! It is going to be an excellent summer viewing season!!

A lyrically rich and sincere reflection on the fragility of relationships, the piano-driven Burn It Down is an emotional tour de force that builds upon the success of the Northampton-born musician's Old Man EP which received radio support from Radio 1 and XFM, and made the Top 5 of the iTunes singer/songwriter chart.
With UK live dates soon to be announced, a debut album due next year and a return to the Zermatt Unplugged Festival in Zurich on 23 October, it's all things go for the talented UK artist.
Listen to Burn It Down below.
