Warning: This episode contains Mass Effect's infamous XXX hard core pornographic sex simulation*. Viewers strongly cautioned.
* And by "pornography" we mean, "a fleeting side view of a bare female bottom".
This whole sex scene feels like a thirteen year old trying to seem adult by cussing and spitting on the ground. Look at me! I'm a mature medium with adult themes! I have sexytime scenes just like in the movies. TAKE ME SERIOUSLY!
And as bad as this is, Dragon Age was even worse. The clothed sex scenes were funny, awkward, and embarrassing.
I think Randy's suggestion about being able to break down doors is actually an interesting idea. Not in a "all games should do this" kind of way, but more like, "What would happen if this was an option?"
Say the player encounters a locked door, according to the ancient videogame traditions. The design doc calls for a five-minute excursion into the nearby mook factory to get the key. However, you also offer the player the option to just bust the door down, and you make the door-busting gameplay take about as long as the mook assault. The gameplay could consist of some interactive but not stimulating system where you have to alternate between shooting the door, kicking the door, and ramming the door with your shoulder, gradually wearing down the structure of the thing. (Or burning, hacking, lockpicking, spraying with acid, or whatever is appropriate for the setting.) The point is that the player shouldn't be able to tape the X button down and walk away. They have to stand there and make it happen.
How would players respond to this? How many would choose the boring but safe route, and how many would choose the typical videogame route? How many would take offense that the option simply exists, even though it's just an option? How many die-hard roleplayers would feel obligated to do things the boring way because it's the most in-character choice to make?
I'm not saying it would be good. I'm just curious how people would respond.

We need to research new metals for a 100-million-selling artists like [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Jamie Foxx[/lastfm]. Forget platinum. Foxx has gone uranium. The superstar is at it again with his newest album Best Night of My Life, Autotuning his way through a feast of sizzling postmodern synth beats and sultry love ballads thanks to artists like [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Justin Timberlake[/lastfm], [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]T.I.[/lastfm] to [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Ludacris[/lastfm] lending some clever rhymes.
The success the actor/comedian/singer has achieved at every stage of his career is more than notable. While he's a stage and screen favorite, it's his music that makes him a superstar. "370,386 listeners have scrobbled his hits 2,965,548 times so far," according to a recent Last.fm Trends report based around his performance via Last.fm users' scrobbles. That's a huge number from an enthusiastic fan base.
Not surprisingly songs like "Unpredictable" released in 2005 and "Blame It" in '09 continue to dominate the airways and clubs across the nations. Foxx's newest album features the instant classic "Winner" with the album's more high-powered guest spots from [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Justin Timberlake[/lastfm] and [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]T.I.[/lastfm]. The song ran as the unofficial anthem of the NBA Playoffs last year. That's a total win if you ask me.
That's not to say the other tracks on the album are not winners. The title track featuring newcomer [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Wiz Khalifa[/lastfm] "Fall For Your Type" featuring [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Drake[/lastfm] is a highlight with Foxx singing; "Baby, I love the smell of your perfume / And if we were kids, I'd be breaking curfew to stay up with you."
Other vocal serenades throughout the album further reveal Foxx's songwriting excellence. Tracks like "Gorgeous" and "Let Me Get You On Your Toes" remind us that Foxx is great entertainer, and has been a true student of vocal serenades and whipping up bedroom-centric lyrics like his predecessors [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Ginuwine[/lastfm] and [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]R. Kelly[/lastfm].

Today's couch potatoes could turn into tomorrow's reproductively challenged spuds, according to results of a study linking TV time to poorer sperm quality in young men.
Men who watched TV for 20 or more hours a week had a 44% lower sperm concentration compared with men who did not watch TV. In a multivariable analysis, sperm concentration tended to be inversely associated with time spent watching TV, and a trend toward lower sperm count emerged from the data.
The study also revealed significant positive association between physical activity and sperm quality, which has a controversial research history, investigators reported online in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
Action Points
- This study was designed to evaluate the relationship of physical activity and television watching with sperm parameters in a population of young, healthy men.
- Sperm concentration and total sperm count were directly related to physical activity after multivariable adjustment, and TV watching tended to be inversely associated with sperm concentration and total sperm count.
"Men who engaged in the most moderate to vigorous physical activity and those who watched the least TV had the highest sperm counts," Audrey J. Gaskins, a doctoral student at the Harvard School of Public Health, told MedPage Today. "Since we know very little about how lifestyle may impact semen quality and male fertility in general, the fact that we could identify two potentially modifiable factors that appear to have such a big impact on sperm count is quite exciting."
Several studies have documented a decline in semen quality over the past several decades, but other studies have not. More consistent evidence of declining quality has come from studies limited to Western populations, but the reasons for a decline remain unclear.
Over the same time frame, physical activity has decreased and sedentary behavior has increased, suggesting a possible adverse effect on sperm characteristics, in addition to sedentary lifestyles' documented associations with obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Sedentary behavior also has been associated with increased scrotal temperature, which may adversely affect sperm quality, although the data are inconsistent, the authors noted. Moreover, watching TV, one of the most common sedentary activities, remains unexplored as a potential risk to sperm quality.
On the other hand, intense physical activity (primarily long-distance running and cycling) has been associated with reduced sperm quality. In contrast, the relationship between moderate physical activity and semen quality has remained unexplored, the authors continued.
To address the unresolved issues, Gaskins and colleagues studied 222 male college students ages 18 to 22. Study participants reported their television viewing habits (TV, videos, and/or DVDs) and the estimated number of hours and intensity of physical activity engaged in for the previous 3 months.
The investigators assigned metabolic equivalent (MET) values to vigorous (MET >6), moderate (MET 3 to 6), and mild (MET <3) physical activities.
Participants could choose one of five categories of daily TV watching, ranging from none/almost none to >10 hours daily.
Each participant provided a semen specimen during a clinic visit, and the men were instructed to abstain from ejaculation for at least 48 hours before the visit.
Semen volume was estimated by a specimen's weight. Sperm concentration was determined by hemocytometry and motility by WHO 1999 criteria; sperm morphology by evaluation of Papanicolaou-stained slides.
The final analysis included 189 participants for whom there was complete data. Participants had a media age of 19.6, 81.5% were white, 58.4% had a normal body mass index (<25), and 77.4% were nonsmokers.
The median time spent in moderate or vigorous physical activity was 8.25 hours per week, and the median weekly TV time was 14 hours.
Assessments of semen quality showed a median sperm concentration of 53 x 106/mL, median proportion of progressively motile sperm of 60%, and median proportion of morphologically normal sperm of 8.5%.
Demographic variables did not have significant associations with physical activity or TV watching. Physically active men were more likely to have "prudent" dietary practices (defined as a diet high in fish, chicken, fruit, vegetables, legumes and whole grains), whereas increased TV time was associated with "Western" dietary practices (a diet high in red meat, butter, high-fat dairy and other fats, refined grains, pizza, snacks, energy drinks, and sweets). The difference was significant at (P<0.001).
Moderate-vigorous physical activity had a significant positive association with sperm concentration (P=0.003 for trend) and sperm count (P=0.04 for trend).
Sperm motility, sperm morphology, and sample volume had no associations with physical activity.
TV watching had an inverse association with sperm concentration, as men in the three lowest quartiles of TV watching had sperm concentrations 14% to 44% higher than those of men in the highest quartile (P=0.03 for trend).
A similar pattern was observed for the relationship between TV time and sperm count, resulting in a nonsignificant trend (P=0.06).
Time spent watching TV was not associated with sperm motility, sperm morphology, or sample volume.
Men who spent the most time watching TV and reported the least amount of physical activity had the lowest adjusted mean sperm concentration (24 x 106).
Physical activity and TV watching were not significantly correlated, suggesting independent effects on semen and sperm characteristics, said Gaskins.
The study findings are interesting but not sufficiently specific to draw conclusions, said Sheryl Kingsberg, PhD, of University Hospitals/Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.
"What it says is that men in general need to pay attention to physical activity because it does potentially impact their fertility," Kingsberg told MedPage Today.
Whether TV watching has a cumulative effect on sperm quality over time is one of the unanswered questions raised by the study.
"We know that fertility goes down and sperm quality goes down with age. Whether that's correlated with the total number of hours they've spent watching television has yet to be determined," said Kingsberg.
"Walking to the refrigerator to get a beer does not count as physical activity," she added.
The study was supported by the National Institutes of Health and the European Union.
Gaskins and colleagues had no relevant disclosures.

We use an average size of 4"x4" leg and 2"x4"-6" boards on top. The barnwood materials do vary so all sizes are approximate. We can also adapt the size of the legs to the size of the top to make the finished product balanced. As with all our Rustic Heritage Line we spend many hours sanding the boards to the perfect smooth finish without diminishing the old, weathered patina, circle saw marks and if we're really lucky old paint that has patinaed in the wood.

Clarice our first Little Red Hen passed away night before last. It's been an odd sort of occurrence as I'm back to that same old question, what makes one chicken more pet like than another? Bizarrely the girls had a better time adjusting to it than me I think. Tori said goodbye to her and said a small prayer asking for Clarice to go peacefully because she was obviously in pain. Gabby was upset only at first when she had thought she wouldn't be able to say goodbye to Clarice. Dennis and Tori had went down to check the eggs when he came back to say that he knew she'd be gone by morning, Gabby had been back at the house with me and overheard the comment. Dennis had thought Gabby wouldn't want to, or maybe shouldn't, see the chicken but Gabby would have none of it. So after sliding on Dennis's oversized rubber boots she and I trekked down to the coops. Gabby stood solemnly on tip toe peeking in at the poor bird whose head was hidden under a wing. "Goodbye Clarice," was all she said and then went skipping back up the hillside. Tori made a few more comments that night about Clarice being a nice chicken who had even been able to visit her class at school and didn't peck at anyone. The next morning Clarice was gone. On the ride home from school that day I explained that Clarice had died and that Daddy had taken her away. Gabby true to her matter of fact ways said, "well it's a nice thing that he took her away, we'll have to go buy another Clarice." For all her cuteness I'm pretty certain that at times Gabby channels Wednesday Adams.
Today is the first day of spring. Something I didn't know is that this is supposed to be the most balanced day of the year. Supposedly you can balance an egg on end. I have plans to try this, if it works I'll add a picture to this entry. If it doesn't I may add a picture anyhow. The eggs are plentiful now my dark egg layers are finally laying but not quite as darkly as I'd hoped. I'm beginning to think that the chicken catalogues are taking advantage of photoshop programs. All the same we've had so many people wanting eggs, and so little free time to paint, that I've yet to make a single blown egg for Easter. Perhaps this weekend I can find the time to do this.
Work trips have kept me, as well as Dennis, away from home. I got the opportunity to travel to Philadelphia for the Public Library Association Conference. Several firsts for me on that trip, I'd never flown and have now been on four separate planes. Consequently I also now know the reason for one wanting a direct flight. I'd say the travel portion and changing of planes wore me down more than anything.
Despite Philly being a large city I have to say I felt pretty welcome there. I have a feeling, as I've mentioned to others, my southern accent sort of paved the way for me. While it might not be true for everyone, many it seems can't help but smile at the lilt of our voice. That and the fact that it's been ingrained in us to say please and thank you from the get go or, "if you can't find anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." I had a nice conversation with a young girl in China town about my southern origins, her love of our accent, her realization that to me "she" had an accent and then later surprise when I mentioned that I'd once read an article saying that people from New Jersey speak slower than southerners. Comically enough, she herself was a Jersey native.
Of everything there of course food was my biggest draw. My hotel was downtown and next to the Reading Terminal Market . The Market has been around since 1893 and houses everything from Amish baked goods and other foods, fish mongers and butchers, local cheese makers and produce to Greek Gyros and Crepes. Above even being a foodie though I'm a people watcher. The market has places to sit and eat near several of the vendors and then in the center of the building in a more communal area. Outside of work and the opportunity to connect and learn from librarians across the country the trip was worth making if only to sit by myself at one of the communal tables eating my crepe stuffed with banana's and chocolate hazelnut spread watching the eclectic mix of locals and tourists.
Upon flying back into Kentucky I had a few thoughts on city dwellers verses us country mice. I really don't think that those in the city are at all unkind as we suspect merely protective of what little personal space that they have. We have so much more breathing room out here. Our day to day lives are lived with much more space between our buildings, homes and even selves. You can't help but understand when someone might be a little touchy of you invading their often less than three feet. While I enjoyed the trip I have to admit that quite a bit of tension lifted from my shoulders as we passed over fields with horses in our plane and then later saw the knobs of Marion County looming ahead on the drive home. One of the first things I did, as cliché southerner as it sounds, was to slip out of my shoes and walk outside barefoot in the grass. I don't think that makes me any less suave than the city people though, it just means I'm cultured enough to enjoy the finer things in life.

First, before I get into this recipe, I want to tell you about a great event that took place at my daughters' school today.
I'm very fortunate because my employer offers a flexible workday so I was able to take part in this great event that is called the Family Marathon. Over the course of about 10 weeks, every student that participates logs miles that they run or walk until they get to a total of 25. Today they ran or walked the last 1.2 miles in front of all of the other cheering and hollering students, faculty and parents. The participating students received medals and a 26.1 Family Marathon car magnet. It is a very exciting event!
Ella and I ran together and she did an amazing job. She ran the entire way and only had to stop to get some water (which she dumped over her head) and tie her shoe. I'm a huge advocate of getting kids to exercise so I loved this event. The particpants were so excited and I know they all felt very proud of their big accomplishments. I know I was proud of them.
Here is a shot of Ella and me running our mile.
So, on to this chicken salad. You can make it pretty healthy depending on how you mix up the yogurt/mayo dressing. If you think you want all mayo it's obviously not going to be as light If you like a little more yogurt and you use the lower fat variety it is going to be a bit lighter. I like it with about half yogurt/half mayo (which is how I wrote the recipe.)
I used some chicken that we grilled over the weekend. You could certainly use a rotisserie chicken, too.
I also wanted to give a shout out to Trader Joe's for this bread. It is their White Whole Wheat Sliced bread and it is honestly some of the best bread I have ever had – especially toasted. One thing I have found about TJ's breads is that they don't last as long as other store bought breads because they don't have all of the preservatives. We have been putting the loaf right into the freezer when we get it and then when we want a slice we pop it in the toaster. Have I mentioned how much I love Trader Joe's before? I may have a problem actually.
So definitely try this easy chicken salad and if I haven't said this enough times on this blog – go out and get some Thai Basil….add it to your herb garden next spring. If you don't have any you could probably swap it out for cilantro or regular basil. But try to get some. You can also make this and this and this with it.
Thai Style Curried Chicken Salad
- 2 cups of chopped chicken
- 2 tablespoons mayo
- 2 tablespoons low-fat yogurt
- 1 tsp curry powder more if you really like Curry
- 1 tablespoon orange chutney or marmalade if you don't have chutney
- Handful of Thai Basil - cut in a chiffonade
- dash of salt and pepper to taste
- To make your dressing combine the mayo, yogurt, curry powder and chutney. Whisk to combine and then pour over the chicken. Toss with the basil and then add salt and pepper to taste.

Home ... What We Do ... Resources ... Fact Sheets ... Parents with Intellectual Disability
Parents with intellectual disability or developmental disabilities (I/DD) have various levels of cognitive impairment. An intellectual disability occurs before age 18 and is characterized by significant limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior as expressed in conceptual, social and practical adaptive skills (AAIDD, 2011). Mild cognitive limitation describes individuals who may have been diagnosed with an intellectual disability at some time in their lives. They have lower than average learning, communication, judgment and understanding abilities (Tymchuk, Lakin & Luckasson, 2001). Their eligibility for service varies from state to state, because they do not qualify for services based on having an intellectual disability.
The right to marry and raise children have long been recognized as fundamental under the Constitution of the United States. While these rights apply to parents with intellectual disability, their parental rights are sometimes terminated solely upon the determination that a parent has an intellectual disability. Often, there is no assessment of the parents' actual abilities or the likelihood that they could successfully parent with appropriate supports.
The Arc's position statement on sexuality states that people with I/DD have the right to make decisions about having and raising children and to have access to the proper supports on an individual basis to assist them in raising their children within their own home (The Arc, 2008). While parents without disabilities often receive support and ideas from other parents, those with I/DD typically are unable to obtain and develop such relationships that provide natural support. Other supports provided through government programs or non-profit agencies are also scarce in most communities.
Parents who have intellectual disability may be closely scrutinized for any sign or symptom of abuse or neglect to their children. Parents live in fear of having their children taken away. Many whose children have been removed don't understand why or how to prevent it next time. Many others are not identified as having an intellectual disability and try to hide their disability, depriving themselves of any opportunity for accommodations. For those parents whose children have been taken from them, the reunification plan usually requires parents to attend counseling sessions and parenting classes that are not cognitively adapted, which dooms most to failure.
Contrary to what many people think, people with intellectual disability can be good parents. Field and Sanchez (1999) suggest that the ability of a parent to provide adequate child care cannot be predicted on the basis of intelligence alone. As with parents without disabilities, the ability to parent successfully depends on a wide range of factors. Grayson (2000) reviewed studies attempting to identify factors contributing to successful parenting. These factors include: higher IQ (greater than 50 or 60), being married or living with the child's grandparents or daily support from a high functioning adult, having fewer children or only one, adequate motivation and willingness to accept support from service providers or informal sources, training in the home to enhance generalization, appropriate parent models during childhood, good physical and mental health, adequate finances and low stress and adequate education and reading skills.
McConnell, Llewellyn & Bye (1997) surveyed service providers and identified four principles associated with effective services to parents with I/DD. These are:
Examples of supports that help parents provide appropriate care and stimulation to their children include:
Parents may need varying kinds and levels of support at different times in their child's life. Grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends and other family members often provide a lot of the help and support. Early intervention and/or Head Start can link families of young children to community and natural supports. However, the family may not even qualify for case management services, which means someone needs to be creative in helping the family find positive environments and help for the child. There is a great need for community service agencies to create and provide individualized services based on each family's needs.
Several service approaches have been shown to be effective individually and in combination in supporting parents and teaching parenting skills. These include home visiting programs, parenting groups, center-based programs and shared parenting models described below (Anderson & Lakin, 1998).
In-home programs provide an opportunity to model and teach parenting skills in the setting where parents will use them. This makes the skill easier for the parents to learn. The service providers can provide appropriate supports focusing on nutrition, cleanliness, safety issues and other issues related to the home.
Parenting groups can instruct families meeting together on such topics as discipline techniques, child development, health and safety issues and decision-making skills. Studies show that parents consistently gain skills in this type of instruction. They are most successful when the class is followed by home visiting. This allows parents to practice in the home what they have learned in class under the support and observation of their instructor.
Center-based programs provide a variety of services to parents and children at a program site. They can provide services to the parent and the child jointly and separately at the same site. They are most effective when supplemented with in-home training. They typically offer a variety of services and instruction such as parenting skills, cooking, financial management, etc.
Shared parenting provides full-time support when the parent and child live in foster care together. The foster provider acts as a "co-parent" to ensure the needs of children are met.
Booth & Booth (1997) interviewed 30 adults brought up in a family headed by a parent or parents with intellectual disability. Half of these adults had intellectual disability themselves. They conclude that the children's destinies are not fixed by having a mother or father with intellectual disability. Their experiences in leaving school to adult life were similar to other people from the same social class and neighborhoods. Most of them maintained a valued relationship with their families. There was little evidence of them assuming responsibility for "parenting their parent."
Protective factors that fostered resilience in the children are personality characteristics, such as responsiveness to others and an outgoing nature; family characteristics, such as warmth and mutuality and stability; and external supports, such as supportive relationships outside the home and involvement in the wider community.

State Representative Marty Walz to give up seat to join Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts
After four terms serving as the representative for the state's eighth district, Martha "Marty'' Walz will announce Wednesday that she is resigning her legislative seat to become the new chief executive officer for the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts, according to a person with direct knowledge of the League's decision.
Walz, 51, was chosen by Planned Parenthood over Dr. JudyAnn Bigby, who recently served as Health and Human Services secretary for Governor Deval Patrick's administration, said the source, who requested anonymity. Walz could not be reached for comment Tuesday night.
A Democrat of Boston, she won her seat in 2005. Walz also serves as a vice chair on the House Committee on Ways and Means.
She emerged as a major player on Beacon Hill, especially after she helped create one the nation's comprehensive anti-bullying laws in 2010. Under the law, school districts were required to submit plans to combat bullying to the state. The law was enacted after 15-year-old Phoebe Prince, of South Hadley, committed suicide because of bullying.
Walz was also the House Chair of the Joint Committee on Education during the 2009-10 legislative session, as well as a member of the Federal Stimulus Oversight Committee and Executive Committee of the Caucus of Women Legislators.
Among other accomplishments, Walz is a member of the Early Education and Care Council, which helps advise the Department of Early Education and Care with after-school services and early education for families.
Walz is joining Planned Parenthood — an organization that looks to "protect and promote sexual and reproductive health and freedom of choice,'' according to the Massachusetts League's website — after its previous president and CEO Dianne Luby announced her resignation in December. Luby served both positions for 13 years.
During the search, the league's chair of the board of directors, Nonnie S. Burnes, served as the interim CEO.

Pewter is a metal alloy, traditionally 85%-90% Tin and 1% - 4% Copper, with the addition of lead for the lower grades. Physically, pewter is a bright, shiny metal that is very similar in appearance to silver, like silver, pewter will also oxidize to a dull gray over time if left untreated. Pewter is a very soft metal, enough to carve with hand tools. Use of pewter was common from the Middle Ages up until the various developments in glass making during the 18th and 19th centuries.

entrepreMusings – New Blog Design
May 9 2011
It's finally here! I have a new blog design and it's really cool. It's simple, it's clean, it's pretty, it's fabulous and it was designed by Brian Hurdle, IT/network guy by day, wedding photographer extraordinaire by night/weekends. I've changed the subtitle from "babbling about business, babies, and parenthood" to "babbling about business, parenting, and music." My kids aren't babies anymore. I realized it's been closer to 4 years since I started blogging (thanks to Connie Reece) and a blog redesign was way overdue! And my current entrepreneurial endeavor is music related.
The design incorporates musical notes, buildings, paisley type designs, and of course elephants! Elephants are my favorite animals, and I have a collection of various elephant figurines. My songwriting partner and I have been making progress on music creation, and we have 5 songs in various stages of completion. We even have a band name, a facebook page (if you are really curious to know the name, you'll just have to click that link), and a YouTube channel.
We haven't done much promotion of any of these because our songs aren't ready to publish, but we may begin promoting at least the facebook page so we can get support from folks to help us make sure we do complete what we set out to do. This will be no easy task given both of our busy schedules and different worlds. He's a professional musician and I'm a professional "wondering what to do with my life next while wreaking havoc in some small business" type of person.
Thanks Brian for exercising your creative muscles to come up with a design that makes me happy! Next he'll be updating my twitter page (which I rarely use but may one day be worth something since I was a fairly early adopter) to match the blog design.Author: Aruni | Filed under: blogging, entrepreneurship, FYI, marketing, twitter | Tags: band name, blog design, brian hurdle, connie reece, elephants, facebook page, twitter, youtube channel | 2 Comments »

Here's what's up in the world of TV for Friday, March 2, and Saturday, March 3. All times are Eastern.
Angel (1 p.m., Friday): Like a long-missing champion, Noel Murray is returning to the Joss Whedon arena to finish out coverage of the last season of Whedon's supernatural detective series, Angel. This is the year when the vampire and his plucky pals get to take over Wolfram & Hart (aka, the best year of the show), and it's also the year when everything is sunny all of the time, and you sort of wonder how David Boreanaz can stand it. Also, James Marsters! Join Noel on an 11-week march to the end of the last Whedon season to get coverage here… that is, until we cover Firefly this summer.
Grimm (NBC, 9 p.m., Friday): Sweeps is over, so most networks are hibernating, only intermittently leaving their dens to snuffle around and look for new episodes of Big Bang Theory. Grimm bucks the trend with an episode title containing the word "Fuchsbau." Kevin McFarland thinks that sounds dirty.
Portlandia (IFC, 10 p.m., Friday): Christian Williams can't believe Carrie and Fred would try to get the mayor to ban the Olympics. Honestly! Who doesn't love a good, old-fashioned summer Olympiad, particularly in the general Portland area, with plenty of room for modern pentathlons and archery?
Spartacus: Vengeance (Starz, 10 p.m., Friday): We sort of can't believe this show has a character named Glaber who's not an insane time-traveling German. Doesn't that name just sound like it should belong to an insane time-traveling German? To be fair, we think that's true of Ryan McGee's name, too.
Saturday Night Live (NBC, 11:30 p.m., Saturday): Lindsay Lohan mounts her umpteenth comeback in this week's edition of the program, and David Sims, longtime fan of Herbie: Fully Loaded, is there to let you know if she's finally ready to get back into the swing of things or if she's just as messed up as ever.
Veronica Mars (11 a.m., Friday): One of the two episodes Rowan Kaiser covers this week is called "President Evil," and though that's a video game pun, it just reminds us of the time 24 had that evil vice president, whom we insisted on referring to as "Vice President Evil." We were annoying back then.
The Twilight Zone (1 p.m., Saturday): Todd VanDerWerff knows there's only one thing that could make any given episode of The Twilight Zone better: the condensed cheese that is William "The Shat" Shatner. This week, he watches the ham's first appearance on the series in "Nick Of Time." Go, Shat!
Cowboy Bebop (3 p.m., Saturday): This week, Simon Abrams brings his long Cowboy Bebop journey to an end, with the movie that wrapped everything up. Or didn't. We're not entirely sure where it's supposed to fit in the show's chronology. But it was made last, and that has to count for something.
The Break (MTV, 8 p.m., Friday): The network takes a look at homelessness among young people, taking a break from its usual reality drivel for a show that might raise awareness about a problem much of its young audience wouldn't think about. That or they're trying to turn this into another Jersey Shore. Yikes.
FRED: The Show (Nickelodeon, 8 p.m., Friday): We're almost certain the coming of this program was foretold in the Book of Revelation, but we can't quite make the prophecy work with just who Fred is supposed to be. Ohhhh… wait… he's probably the giant army of locusts that tortures humanity, huh?
Ghost Adventures (Travel, 9 p.m., Friday): The team reminisces about some of its spookiest adventures, in an episode that sounds like every other episode of these ghost-hunting shows. Seriously, how much time do ghost hunters spend on talking about their old exploits? Find some ghosts, dammit! Now!
Dateline NBC (NBC, 10 p.m., Friday): Chris Hansen, the man who brought you To Catch A Predator and the one actually funny sketch on Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip, has turned his sights toward a new target: day care centers. We're just hoping he doesn't try to re-prosecute the McMartin trial.
The AquaBats! Super Show?! (The Hub, 11 a.m., Saturday): We're pretty big fans of clever and creative punctuation here at TV Club, and we're also fans of Yo Gabba Gabba, whose creator has moved on to this new kooky, kitschy kids contraption. (We so wanted to spell that with a K.) Will Harris investigates.
We'll Take Manhattan (Ovation, 8 p.m., Saturday): Don't know where Ovation is on your television dial? Well, neither do we, but we might be tempted to find it for this movie, in which Karen Gillan plays a fashion model. It's not Karen Gillan Ryan McGee is tuning in for. It's the modeling. He's a big fan.
The Right Stuff (TCM, 8 p.m., Friday): This Philip Kaufman version of the Tom Wolfe nonfiction classic is an involving, exciting look at the early days of the United States' space program, with lots of epic sweep and great performances to spare. Settle in with some popcorn and spend the whole evening on it.
The Bank Job (IFC, 10:30 p.m., Friday): We haven't seen this one, but we're told it's surprisingly gritty and fun. Jason Statham stars (of course) as a guy who, well, needs to pull a bank job. We're going to assume that not everything proceeds according to plan and he has to improvise. Because we're psychic.
Hanna (HBO, 8 p.m., Saturday): Saoirse Ronan continues her battle to be named the most credible teen girl action star with this Joe Wright-directed film about a teen girl assassin. All we want to know is why we never knew any teen girl assassins in high school. This is unconscionable, and we won't stand for it!
NBA Basketball: Warriors at 76ers (ESPN, 8 p.m., Friday): Last week, some guy was all, "Why can't the A.V. Club hire people who know about sports?!" because we dared to joke about the rookie-sophomore game. We're going to piss him off now: Watch the Washington Warriors play the Boise 76ers! Tonight!
College Basketball: North Carolina at Duke (ESPN, 7 p.m., Saturday): College basketball winds its way toward March Madness, which inevitably means lots of games where great rivals play each other. And because we hate Duke here at What's On Tonight, we thought we'd highlight this one. Booooo, Duke!
The Office (Thursday): Myles McNutt checks out an interview with executive producer Paul Lieberstein, in which the man who plays Toby insists the show will be better next year, even if it's been uneven this year. Then he watches the episode and says next year can't get here soon enough.

Conservation & Environment, Tropical Dry Forest Conservation & Community in Costa Rica by Chloe Kwak
This was my first time travelling outside of my home country (the US) by myself, and it was a huge step out of my comfort zone, but I really enjoyed the new experiences and people I got to meet along the way.
Arriving in Costa Rica
When I arrived in Costa Rica, the day had just started. The feeling of knowing I was going to be away from home for two weeks hit me, and as scared as I was, I was so excited for the adventure I knew was ahead of me. Once I got off the plane and went through customs and immigration, I was immediately able to find a friendly man with a Projects Abroad sign. He escorted me and another volunteer, who had come off of the same flight I did.
It was quite nerve wracking at first because I had no idea what to expect until I saw 30 other volunteers on the bus that picked us up. When I hopped on, I was immediately greeted by everyone. It was such a great way to start off my trip, especially having met 30 friendly people, my age, from all over the world (England, Scotland, Japan, France, Italy, and more)!
Living with my host family
I was fortunate to have lived in an amazing home during the week I was in Heredia. The host family accommodated me and one of the other volunteers, Olivia. At first, I was intimidated by the fact that our host mom knew little to no English. Olivia and I, however, managed to scrape together our limited Spanish speaking skills in order to communicate with her regarding our everyday needs and gratitude.
The sleeping and bathroom arrangements were comfortable, and the host mom fed us delicious meals everyday. I was always excited for the food because although I missed meals at home, the food in Costa Rica was so enjoyable and different. The atmosphere within the family was also extremely warm and welcoming. During dinners, we got to know the rest of the family, and I even recall having a three-hour conversation with the host family's dad. He had some serious words of wisdom that I will never forget. Overall, living with this family for a week made me grateful for all the opportunities I get to meet new people.
My Care placement
Having the chance to volunteer at a daycare centre for one week was extremely tiring, yet very rewarding. My volunteer team, which consisted of nine people, was split up into groups. Each group took care of a different age group, ranging from six months old to 10 years old. It was very easy for me because my partner, Bella, and I worked with the children aged two to three, so none of the toddlers knew how to speak yet.
On a normal day, we would simply play with the kids and entertain them. We would also supervise them while they were on the playground, feed them during snack and lunch time, and put them to sleep for their nap time. Furthermore, in the afternoons throughout the week, my group prepared 130 lion masks. These masks were for the children to wear during a Lion King skit which they performed on their last day at our placement.
Although all the volunteers were drained of energy by the end, I think we all enjoyed the chance we had to meet these joyful and loving children. This daycare was special because it specifically served families that suffer in mild poverty. It was so eye opening when I recognised how kind and grateful these children were, despite their circumstances.
My Conservation placement
Conservation was a part of my second week in Costa Rica. It was definitely more rigorous and physically challenging, but nevertheless, it was delightful spending time in the Barra Honda National Park. I got the chance to participate in many different activities such as cave exploring, hiking, village clean-ups, and reforestation. In addition, I learned and studied about the different bats and monkeys in the national park. Overall, the days were filled with nonstop physical activity and many different lessons were learned throughout the day.
It took a while to adjust to the sleeping and bathroom arrangements, but bunking in a huge room with 16 girls was honestly so much fun. It also took time to get used to the intense amount of bugs and creatures; I definitely left Costa Rica with an extremely high tolerance to insects! Getting to spend this time in the forest with my group was a tremendous bonding opportunity. We all appreciated our free time, playing games and simply sharing laughs.
The staff
I think leaving the amazing staff behind was the hardest part. Every single member of staff knew how to make the volunteers smile and laugh, and it made our time there so memorable. When I struggled during any of the activities, they were always ready to help and encourage me. It was incredible how engaged they were with us, even during our free time. Establishing meaningful relationships with each of the volunteers was not part of their job description, but they managed to fulfill that regardless. There would be points in time where I would get homesick or bored, but the staff was always ready to bring entertainment and make our time there 100% worthwhile. I can undoubtedly say that the advisors I met are some of the funniest, nicest, and friendliest people I will ever know. They did a great job at making my stay in Costa Rica feel like home.
In conclusion, I would recommend this to anyone who is deciding if this is right for them. It was definitely a step out of my comfort zone, but what I left with was absolutely worth it. I regret not taking the chance to participate in projects like this earlier in life, because there is so much to learn about different countries and places. Thinking back to how much this trip entailed within the small amount of two weeks is phenomenal. I made many memories and friendships that I will never forget!

Guys, Mila Kunis is still being asked about her Black Swan body, and still talking about her weight: "I don't think I ever fully realized what a human body is capable of doing.

In self-drive and self-worth. I'm a huge foodie, I love food. But when people say, 'I can't lose weight,' no no no, you can. Your body can do everything and anything, you just have to want to do it."
