I was not popular in school, and I was definitely not a ladies' man. And I had a very painful adolescence, because it was all very strange to me. It wasn't like I got beat up, but the humiliation and isolation, and the existential 'God, I exist, and nobody cares' of being a teenager were extremely pronounced for me. ---->>>
The thing about a hero, is even when it doesn't look like there's a light at the end of the tunnel, he's going to keep digging, he's going to keep trying to do right and make up for what's gone before, just because that's who he is. ---->>>
'The Dark Knight,' for me, has the same problem that every other 'Batman' movie has. It's not about Batman. I think Heath Ledger is just phenomenal and the character of the Joker is beautifully written. He has a particular philosophy that he carries throughout the movie. He has one of the best bad guy schemes. ---->>>
The secret to multitasking is that it isn't actually multitasking. It's just extreme focus and organization. ---->>>
What I do like is hiking. And that's what filmmaking is. It's a hike. It's challenging and exhausting, and you don't know what the terrain is going to be or necessarily even which direction you're going in... but it sure is beautiful. ---->>>
Wonder Woman isn't Spider-man or Batman. She doesn't have a town, she has a world. That was more interesting to me than a kind of contained, rote superhero franchise. ---->>>
Who is to say who is the villain and who is the hero? Probably the dictionary. ---->>>
There was a time before I felt I was a real writer, when I was a yarn spinner and I just wanted to tell story until it was over. But then there came a time where I was like, 'No, I want to understand something through writing this that I might have not understood before. I want people to come away with something to think about.' ---->>>
I designed 'Buffy' to be an icon, to be an emotional experience, to be loved in a way that other shows can't be loved. Because it's about adolescence, which is the most important thing people go through in their development, becoming an adult. ---->>>
Always be yourself... unless you suck. ---->>>
Absolutely eat dessert first. The thing that you want to do the most, do that. ---->>>
I never give up on anything, because you come back around, and suddenly the thing you thought you'd never do is relevant. ---->>>
Remember to always be yourself. ---->>>
Ultimately what I end up writing about is helplessness and the flipside of that, empowerment. ---->>>
I don't have a ton of enemies. I get along with people pretty well when I'm not annoying them to death. ---->>>
Writers are completely out of touch with reality. Writers are a crazy person. We create conflict - for a living. We do this all the time, sometimes on a weekly basis; we create horrible, incredible circumstances and then figure a way out of them. That's what we do. ---->>>
I don't know a lot of show runners. I mean I met a lot of them in picket lines. I'm not part of a, like, secret society or pickup basketball game. As far as I'm concerned, pick-up basketball games are secret societies. They confuse me. I've never been a networker or I've never been very social. ---->>>
Loneliness is about the scariest thing out there. ---->>>
Remember to always be yourself. Unless you suck. ---->>>
I am a great believer in found families and I'm not a great believer in blood. ---->>>
Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women. ---->>>
I'm a very hard-line, angry atheist. Yet I am fascinated by the concept of devotion. ---->>>
You know, the thing that I do to waste time is think of things I want to make. That's how my mind is employed. ---->>>
You don't buy a Picasso because you love the frame. ---->>>
Casting is storytelling. ---->>>
Science fiction is like a blender - you can put in any historical experience and take influences from everything you see, read or experience. ---->>>
'The Sixth Sense' is fine the second time around, but honestly, the first time around, it's dazzling. ---->>>
You learn something every time you make a mistake. ---->>>
I don't like uncertainty. I don't play poker. I don't like bluffing. ---->>>
My absolute favorite part of Comic-Con is seeing, like, a 'Mass Effect' guy hanging out with a 'Sailor Moon,' and they're just having a great time. ---->>>
The people who feel the most strongly about something will turn on you the most vociferously if they feel you've let them down. ---->>>
I think to an extent every human being needs to be redeemed somewhat or at least needs to look at themselves and say, 'I've made mistakes, I'm off course, I need to change.' Which is probably the hardest thing for a human being to do, and maybe that's why it interests me so. ---->>>
A writer is supposed to have anonymity. ---->>>
Horror movies don't exist unless you go and see them, and people always will. ---->>>
I don't think I'm a celebrity. Maybe I'm a cult figure? ---->>>
I don't understand why or how anyone ever pulled off the whole idea of 'women are inferior.' ---->>>
I never tire of the heroes that I knew growing up. ---->>>
Shakespeare's language does not require a British accent. It requires a facility with language, and that's all. ---->>>
I am a fan of sequels even though they are inevitably awful. ---->>>
If somebody is in a story, they need to be there for a reason, and not just to set up somebody else's story. ---->>>
Something like 'Much Ado' happens, and even 'Avengers' happens because of the years of building connections and doing the work and proving yourself. ---->>>
You can't be a storyteller and a speechwriter at the same time. ---->>>
I love a straightforward character. I am the guy who loves Cyclops on the 'X-Men', because he is square. ---->>>
I think it's not inaccurate to say that I had a perfectly happy childhood during which I was very unhappy. ---->>>
I usually write things in my head before I ever write them down. When I write it out, usually I've already figured out what it is I'm trying to do. ---->>>
I was raised by a hardcore feminist. ---->>>
I'm not big on regret; I don't spend a lot of time on it. ---->>>
I've been to two festivals in my life, and I've never been to Toronto. I haven't really been making festival movies. This is new territory for me. ---->>>
It's not any huge secret that I'm an atheist. ---->>>
The master plan does not have a master plan. Television ultimately finds itself, and after it finds itself, it finds itself changing. ---->>>
The musicals that I love on stage are generally meant for the stage. ---->>>
What I love most about icons is finding out what's behind them, exploring the price of their power. ---->>>
I spent a ton of time alone. I was raised by a feminist; I had a terrifying father and oppressively scary and mean brothers. We had a farm. The rule was between breakfast and lunch you weren't allowed to make a sound. ---->>>
We are, all of us, incoherent text, and just knowing that - knowing that no matter how much you say, 'I am this' and part of you is not that - means that you can say it. ---->>>
Every time you work on a project, it's a little vacation from the project you're working on the other 23 hours. That's the thing - it replenishes you to do something else. ---->>>
There are two things that I cannot resist: one is musicals and the other is a spaceship in trouble. But I am smart enough not to combine the two things. ---->>>
I always was an early-morning or late-night writer. Early morning was my favorite; late night was because you had a deadline. And at four in the morning, you make up some of your most absurd jokes.
It's only recently women got to be action heroes on TV. Progress is slow, and often non-existent. There's plenty of cool comics with female characters... But all it takes is one Catwoman to set the cause back a decade.
Everybody who labels themselves a 'nerd' isn't some giant person locked in a cubbyhole who's never seen the opposite sex. Especially with the way the Internet is now, I think that definition is getting a little more diffuse. ---->>>
Everything I write tends to turn into a superhero team, even if I didn't mean for it to. I always start off wanting to be solitary, because a) it's simpler, and b) that isolation is something that I relate to as a storyteller. And then no matter what, I always end up with a team. ---->>>
On one level, I must never lose touch with my audience. But I must, at some point, stop trying to get everybody to like me, and be true to the thing I think I need to say. ---->>>
I always believe in just have as much fun as you can so that when you're in the part that you hate, there's a light at the end of the tunnel, that you're close to finished. ---->>>
I always enjoy conversation more if there is some substance to it - which is a just incredibly hilarious thing for me to say because for many, many years I was the guy whose only contribution to any conversation was, 'There was a funny 'Simpson's' joke about that.' ---->>>
I don't write just to be clever. But sometimes I do. And if you don't have an understanding of the language, then the way in which it's bent doesn't actually register. It's the old you-gotta-paint-like-them-before-you-can-paint-like-you thing. ---->>>
I go to movies expecting to have a whole experience. If I want a movie that doesn't end, I'll go to a French movie. That's a betrayal of trust to me. A movie has to be complete within itself; it can't just build off the first one or play variations.
I had older brothers, and I don't think there's anything worse than an older brother. They pretty much told me the end of everything they got to see before I did. ---->>>
I loved working with 'The Avengers' cast and we had a great time, but it was a job, and they had other commitments during that job, so they would go off and do other things. ---->>>
I would love to give you a more in-depth coherent explanation of my view of the soul, and if I had one I would. The soul and my concept of it are as ephemeral as anybody's, and possibly more so. ---->>>
Limitations are something that I latch onto - like working in genre, or if you're writing TV, there are act breaks, there's a length of time it's supposed to be. The restrictions of budget and sets can be really useful. When you can have everything, it's very hard to make things feel real and lived in. ---->>>
My dad would go to work every day and write in a room full of funny people. He enjoyed it. I know great writers who find the process agonising but to me, writing has always been sheer joy.
Personally, the NSA collecting data on me freaks me out. It totally freaks me out. And yet I'm from the generation that wants to put a GPS in their kids so I always know where they are. ---->>>
That title, is one of the things I fought for. A lot of people said 'But it's stupid, and it's the title of a comedy movie, and people won't take it seriously,' and I'm sure there are some people who still don't. But for the most part, people do see that we really have a quality show. ---->>>
The misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who's confronted with it. ---->>>
You know, I always was an early morning or late night writer. Early morning was my favorite; late night was because you had a deadline. And at four in the morning you make up some of your most absurd jokes.
I think it's always important for academics to study popular culture, even if the thing they are studying is idiotic. If it's successful or made a dent in culture, then it is worthy of study to find out why. ---->>>
Every vampire fiction reinvents vampires to its own needs. You take what you want. ---->>>
Why anybody gets my sense of humor I never know, but I do know that when they do, I keep them as close as I possibly can. ---->>>
The only way to real mature love is to get past the tropes of what we consider 'romance.' ---->>>
I also don't trust Caribou anymore. They're out there, on the tundra, waiting... Something's going down. I'm right about this. ---->>>
I have a pathological fear of confrontation. I'm working on that. ---->>>
I love fantasy. I love horror. I love musicals. Whatever doesn't really happen in life is what I'm interested in. As a way of commenting on everything that does happen in life, because ultimately the only thing I'm really interested in is people. ---->>>
Writers are completely out of touch with reality. ---->>>
I hate it when people talk about Buffy as being campy... I hate camp, I don't enjoy dumb TV. I believe Aaron Spelling has single-handedly lowered SAT scores. ---->>>
I never write anything without humor, just because I like humor, but at the same time, it is a way for anything fantastical to become relatable. ---->>>
Actors wait tables, directors work at video stores. ---->>>
I love TV in a way that I don't love any other medium. ---->>>
'Buffy' is about growing up. 'Angel' is really about already having grown up, dealing with what you've done, and redemption. ---->>>
Never sit at a table you can't walk away from. ---->>>
Those of us who write spend our entire lives in an endless English class. ---->>>
TV's like whitewater rafting: Without rocks, there wouldn't be rapids, and it wouldn't be as much fun. ---->>>
When you're making a film, you have an obligation to fill the frame with life. ---->>>
A lot of people who saw 'The Avengers' didn't read comic books, don't like comic book movies, and enjoyed it. That was huge for me. ---->>>
I was a little bit ashamed of American TV because I thought, 'None of the shows my father works on are as funny as my father.' ---->>>
I'll always protect what I'm working on. Which is why more and more of it is stuff only I can ruin. ---->>>
I'm very much more interested in the created family than I am in actual families. ---->>>
I've often said there's no such thing as a track record in TV. I seen people who created things much more successful than mine treated like dirt. ---->>>
Movies were always the goal, but I had a lot of goals. Twelve-year-old me wanted to do everything: act and sing and paint and dance. ---->>>
My favorite part of Comic-Con? The groupies. ---->>>
My life has included a study of Shakespeare and to me it's very natural, but I know that it's not always accessible to other people. ---->>>
I don't want the giant ego. I don't want to become Kevin Costner, singing on the soundtrack to The Postman. ---->>>
I eat 'The Walking Dead' like its made of brains. Can't even watch the show, I love the book so much. ---->>>
I get recognized just often enough to keep my ego bouncing along, but not so much that I can't go places. ---->>>
I like to think that I'm a populist entertainer, but I'm a little bit idiosyncratic, and sometimes the networks wouldn't really roll with that. ---->>>
I've never met a well-adjusted person. It's weird. ---->>>
Soon, I will be 'King of all Hollywoodland.' ---->>>
That's the great thing about 'The West Wing:' you really felt like you were in the thick of it. ---->>>
The thing with the comics is that you have license to go down every alley your brain can think of. ---->>>
There are two things that interest me - and they're both power, ultimately. One is not having it and one is abusing it. ---->>>
When people say to me, 'Why are you so good at writing at women?' I say, 'Why isn't everybody?' ---->>>
Especially, I think, living in any fantasy or science fiction world means really understanding what you're seeing and reading really densely on a level that a lot of people don't bother to read. ---->>>
When I created Buffy, I wanted to create a female icon, but I also wanted to be very careful to surround her with men that not only have no problem with the idea of a female leader, but were in fact engaged and even attracted to the idea. ---->>>
As far as I am concerned, the first episode of Buffy was the beginning of my career. It was the first time I told a story from start to finish the way I wanted. ---->>>
I just love language. I mean, I love it. I love stage directions. Any opportunity to write. I hadn't written in so long, I get very crazy and miserable. I - it's like not seeing my kids: I can't do it for very long. ---->>>
I think everyone who makes movies should be forced to do television. Because you have to finish. You have to get it done, and there are a lot of decisions made just for the sake of making decisions. You do something because it's efficient and because it gets the story told and it connects to the audience. ---->>>
People always say I write a lot of pop culture references. Can somebody please count the pop culture references in 'Firefly?' Because I don't know how to put this to you, but there was one. I referenced The Beatles in the pilot. ---->>>
People used to laugh that academics would study Disney movies. There's nothing more important for academics to study, because they shape the minds of our children possibly more than any single thing. ---->>>
The two things that matter the most to me: emotional resonance and rocket launchers. Party of Five, a brilliant show, and often made me cry uncontrollably, suffered ultimately from a lack of rocket launchers. ---->>>
The way a musical can make us feel is unlike anything else, in song and particularly in dance. I think people fly through plate-glass windows when they get shot because movies don't have dance scenes any more. This is what we do instead.
I do listen to music. Movie scores, exclusively, because it's all about mood and nonspecificity. I love the way modern movie scoring is all about nonspecificity. You know, if I shuffled the tracks from 'Inception,' I challenge you to tell me which is which. ---->>>
I tend to tell stories that have a lot of momentum; it's not like 'and then months later...' I like things where the momentum of one action rolls into the next one so everything is the sum of that. ---->>>
I was never a games night guy, but at some point, social interaction starts to freak me out. So when there's a point, it's easier for me to see the people I love and hang out and try to have fun. ---->>>
We need narrative; it feeds us in a particular way, and deconstructing it completely before you've actually experienced it, I think it leaves us unfed. ---->>>
An audience who watches my shows knows who I am, knows that right when they think I'm going to make a joke, I'm going to blow something up, or during the worst peril, I'm going to have someone give someone a kiss - it's just going to happen. ---->>>
There's a reason Tony Stark makes fun of 'Thor,' and mentions 'Shakespeare' in the park in 'The Avengers.' It's great to play high drama and comedy alongside a modern story. ---->>>
I am not a fan of referencing your own work when it's in a different universe than what you're doing. That, to me, is a wink at the audience, and winking isn't actually cool when you're not, like, 10. ---->>>
I do have screenplays I've written that never saw the light of day, but I don't usually go back to them. When I've told a story, I want to tell another story. ---->>>
I loved teaching and I did a lot of work as a teacher's assistant in college, and my favorite experience was basically getting a laugh from a bunch of people because they had just understood something. ---->>>
I never tire of the heroes that I knew growing up. The fun is not that much different from doing a television show: You're stuck with a certain set of rules, and then, rather than trying to break them, it's just trying to peel away and see what's underneath them. That to me is really fun. ---->>>
I used to write chronologically when I started, from beginning to end. Eventually I went, 'That's absurd; my heart is in this one scene, therefore I must follow it.' ---->>>
I would like to have as much going on as other people do, but my problem is I get so attached to things, and there's my kids, and I need my sleep, and then there's being married - gotta check in on that, too. ---->>>
I've been in this business for a long while, but it's not like I've been waiting tables. Since I started writing, I've only worked on things that I love. I've had a lot of heartbreak, but you don't become an artist and not expect that. ---->>>
I've had so much success. I had something to say, I got to say it, people heard it, and they agreed. That's every artist's dream. That's the brass ring. ---->>>
I've seen plenty of films where the projector broke. The problems that we have in the digital age are exactly the same as we had. Instead of, 'There's a hair in the gate,' it's, 'The computer ate the footage.' There will always be things like that going on. Nothing is perfect. ---->>>
Making 'The Avengers' was very important to me, but it was also extremely arduous. I missed my friends and I missed my home, so I decided to throw them all on camera, which is the only way I seem to know to relate to people. ---->>>
My first gig ever was writing looplines for a movie that had already been made. You know, writing lines over somebody's back to explain something, to help make a connection, to add a joke, or to just add babble because the people are in frame and should be saying something. ---->>>
My mom and dad were divorced, and although they got along very well, my mom thought American television was reprehensible, so I was raised on the BBC. I kind of agreed with her. We watched American news, though. ---->>>
My mom is a teacher, my dad was a writer for television, his dad was a writer for television, and combining those two has been sort of the goal of my life. ---->>>
The fact is some people really love my work, some people not so much, but at the end of the day, I don't want anybody coming out of the movie thinking about me. ---->>>
The Internet community started forming right when 'Buffy' started airing, and the notion of a show creator being anything other than a name people recognize on the screen was completely new. ---->>>
The more you can create a structure by which people live in a fantastical situation and by which they will act, and the more you lay that out for the audience, the more they will feel at home in it. ---->>>
The networks have a particular agenda, a particular model and structure. It doesn't have anything to do with content. This is not a dis on them - they are a business model, run by business people. ---->>>
The problem for me is that 'Watchmen,' one of the great comics of all time, is a look at superheroes that has gone beyond the concept of or necessity for superheroes. ---->>>
TV does a thing that film can never do. It takes you to a place that no novel written after the late 19th century can. You can just go through people's lives; it's like a marriage. ---->>>
There's a lot of anger in the Twitter-verse, as I've discovered. But there's a lot of love. ---->>>
What 'Scream' was great at was presenting ironic detachment and then making you actually care about the people that were having it, and juxtaposing it with their situation, all in the service of making a great horror movie. It was fresh. ---->>>
Most of the dialogue in 'Speed' is mine, and a bunch of the characters. That was actually pretty much a good experience. I have quibbles. I also have the only poster left with my name still on it. Getting arbitrated off the credits was un-fun. ---->>>
Buffy loves Angel. He loves her. And I love Ho Hos. ---->>>
If somebody comes up to me, it's because they're moved by something I'm moved by. I've never taken a job I didn't love... So when somebody's coming up to me, or they're writing, they're in the same space I am in. ---->>>
In TV, there's so much compromise, it does start to grate a bit. But if you're a writer or an actor, it really is the place to be. ---->>>
A great scientist is more open to a new idea than almost anybody. ---->>>
Every kid who hated grownups becomes a grownup. Well, except the ones who died. ---->>>
I kept telling my mom that reading comic books would pay off. ---->>>
I'm a science fiction geek from birth - that's just who I am. ---->>>
Oddly enough, I never studied writing. I studied almost everything except writing. ---->>>
Every writer loves the idea of being able to go in and fix a problem and then leave without obligation. It's fun! ---->>>
For me, the act of telling the story and showing it to somebody is almost gravy. ---->>>
I'm a very gentle man, not unlike Gandhi. ---->>>
Twelve-year-old me wanted to do everything: act and sing and paint and dance. ---->>>
I always want to make sure I'm telling a story about people that I care about. ---->>>
I always watch what I say. I am what I say. ---->>>
I can do web, comic books, macrame, art. ---->>>
I didn't study writing. I didn't write anything substantial until I got to California. ---->>>
I don't believe in creating exclusionary art. ---->>>
I don't have a particular ambition in any medium. I just want to keep telling stories. If somebody pays me, also good. ---->>>
I have an obligation to do press, but I don't have an obligation to stay out dancing until 3 A.M. ---->>>
I like horror; I like comedy; I like drama; I like action; I like female heroes. ---->>>
I like Victorian children's novels extremely a lot. If I would say I collect anything, that's what I'll hunt for now and again at old book stores. ---->>>
I love a good romantic comedy. ---->>>
I love all genres. The only thing I get stymied by is the Family Drama. I don't necessarily know how to approach that. ---->>>
I love to write. I love it. I mean there's nothin in the world I like better, and that includes sex, probably because I'm so very bad at it. ---->>>
I never wanted to take a job because I needed money, and I never have. ---->>>
I respect television in a way that some people who came out of film might not. ---->>>
I respect the rules of TV, the rules of keeping things commercial and interesting and pop-y and fun. ---->>>
I still believe that even though 'The Empire Strikes Back' is better in innumerable ways than 'Star Wars,' 'Star Wars' wins. ---->>>
I think 'Batman Begins' is certainly my favorite Batman movie I've seen. ---->>>
I was very proud of my father, and I admired him, but I always thought he was more interesting than the shows he was working on. ---->>>
I've been doing Shakespeare readings with my friends for years. ---->>>
Kristen Stewart is kind of captivating; she can just stare at stuff and it works because I still want to watch it. ---->>>
Part of making TV is the process - you just have to churn it out. ---->>>
Running a TV show is always running a TV show; it's never not running a TV show. ---->>>
There's not going to be a 'Buffy' season nine on television. ---->>>
When I was a kid, maybe 11, I remember saying, 'When I grow up I wanna have enough money to buy a really cool car, because I won't.' ---->>>
I always tend to think just left of center, to remove myself from the world by one step. It is very freeing, and it's a particular way of coming at stories and looking at them that I find the most beautiful stuff that I know comes from, ultimately. ---->>>
All of the most important lessons about writing I learned from my father. He never set out to teach me anything, it would just be something he said casually in conversation. ---->>>
I did my English A level in England, and we studied Shakespeare. I had great, great high school teachers, and we parsed the text within an inch of its life. ---->>>
I didn't watch a lot of American television growing up. I just liked to read a lot and watch movies - movies, movies, and more movies. My family used to make fun of me because I'd like every movie I saw. ---->>>
I don't tend to write straight dramas where real life just impinges. But because I don't, when I do, it is very interesting to slap people in the face with just an absolute of life. ---->>>
I find that when you read a script, or rewrite something, or look at something that's been gone over, you can tell, like rings on a tree, by how bad it is, how long it's been in development. ---->>>
I have abused language. I love it, and I abuse it... I don't write just to be clever. But sometimes I do. And if you don't have an understanding of the language, then the way in which it's bent doesn't actually register. ---->>>
I think there's a possibility that comic book movies are getting a tiny bit better on the one hand because they're no longer made by executives, who are, you know, ninety-year-old bald tailors with cigars, going, 'The kids love this!' ---->>>
I'm never interested in movies where you don't care about the people you're watching, and that's my biggest quibble about horror, that kids have gotten stupider and stupider. ---->>>
If you try to multitask in the classic sense of doing two things at once, what you end up doing is quasi-tasking. It's like being with children. You have to give it your full attention for however much time you have, and then you have to give something else your full attention. ---->>>
My deal with Marvel is I have a consulting deal with them as well as a contract to make 'Avengers.' That means I'll read all the scripts, I'll look at cuts. ---->>>
Sarah Michelle Gellar's made some really good choices. She's had some bad breaks. She goes with the independent, interesting young filmmakers and then they get slammed, like 'Southland Tales.' I'm proud of what she's trying to do. It's hard. ---->>>
There are many films and TV shows I make where people find themselves in fantastical situations; as often as possible, their reactions to it are very normal. ---->>>

It was a good experience altogether. the doctor took time to understand the issue and he explained the illness elaborately. He did not prescribe any unnecessary medicine or tests.


Fifty years ago, Neil Armstrong stepped down that Apollo 11 ladder and made history.
First Man takes us inside many places. Airplane rides to the edge of the atmosphere that led to the Gemini series, onward and upward. The tight-knit crew of men NASA tapped to ride into space. The capsules that took them. And, most significantly, this 2-hour, 21-minute epic docu-drama directed by Damien Chazelle from the screenplay by Josh Singer based on the book by James B. Hansen bounces around the head of Neil Armstrong.
Ryan Gosling plays the first man on the moon as one dry character, indeed.
Smart, no doubt. His engineering background indeed helped him land the spot as commander of the mission taking the first manned mission to the moon.
Intense, yes. When any of the other NASA men attempt to make light of, well, anything at all, his eyes bore straight through them.
As far as emotions, though, Gosling keeps this Neil Armstrong bottled up. Maybe that's the way he interpreted the way Armstrong in real life shouldered the loss he and his wife encountered of their baby daughter to cancer. Janet Armstrong is the one left to display all the emotions. On the eve of Apollo 11, for example, she must force her husband to talk to their two sons about the upcoming mission, and what it means to him ... including the chances that he might not return. Claire Foy does quite well as the vinegar to her husband's cool water.
Chazelle turns a great amount of his focus on the nuts and bolts of the spaceships.
This is a gritty look at how man went into space.
When Armstrong lifts from the ground, everything around him shakes, rattles and practically rolls. That comes later, when he must right the spinning capsule or lose more than the mission. All of this thunders across the screen in gritty realism.
Oh, the beauty of that stark, powdery lunar landscape as drawn up in First Man.
First Man screens free as part of the LPL' Newly Released Movies series at 1 p.m. Tuesday, March 26, at NOPL's North Syracuse branch. First Man is part of the LPL's MediaBank collection.

Pat Van Dyke - New Memories b/w Alright By Me (7")
Any 45 by musician and composer Pat Van Dyke is a must own—the tastiest of treats for your turntable. This fresh platter of wax builds upon the success of Van Dyke's 2018 full length effort "Hello, Summer" which received overwhelming support and praise from Pitchfork, Wax Poetics, Fleamarket Funk and more. Pitchfork nicely summed up that LP: The New Jersey jazzman combines hip-hop sensibilities with the precision of Count Basie in a collection of highly controlled compositions that are nonetheless warm, languid, and dedicated to the funk.
Pat's dedication continues to be on display on everything he touches—this time on two brand new cuts; "New Memories" b/w "Alright By Me". Both tracks burst with melody, the right amount of breeziness and cleverness. Recorded at home on the vintage Tascam 388 Eight Track tape machine, Pat performed the rhythm section tracks on his own before adding featured soloists Zac Colwell (Saxophone on "New Memories") and Matt Chertkoff (Guitar on "Alright By Me").
Van Dyke's work is unbeatable and he's managed to keep his releases in a cadence that keeps audiences hungry and quality control top of mind.
A sureshot. And as always, best paired with a fine IPA or that Sunday morning coffee.

Alright By Me (45 Mix)

If used to be that the NOAA app was fantastic at predicting weather and I could track where a storm was coming from and calculate about how long it was going to take to get to my area. No more. I can somewhat see where a storm is, but they don't seem to have up to date information. In addition, especially when Im driving I need to know when the rain is going to change to freezing rain, etc. The little diagrams could be colored to show that. A timeline could show that. I would like to get warnings if there has been flooding. I would like to know about sudden temperature changes. I am planning on take my driving trips and need good information to stay alive.
I use this whenever I am contemplating going golfing or already on the course; it has saved me from getting wet many times.
When I first got this App in 2014 it was great then after a year not so good and I forgot about it. I found it on my app list and reinstalled it and it doesn't work anymore. Major thunderstorm out side and the app shows not a hint of the lightning and rain outside. To me the app is broke and they don't care.
I'm guessing the radar must be delayed which results in a pretty worthless weather radar app. I assumed this app would provide current radar data, but I have many screenshots from several different dates comparing the radar in this app with several other apps (both free and paid) which illustrate just how bad this app is. Too bad I can't include them in this review. It looks to me like the "current" radar lags behind reality by about 30 minutes. Easily the worst purchase I've ever made.
Great job of information for us weather geeks Thanks!!
I love this ap. Always accurate and wonderful graphics.


Show GH: I analyzed over 2,400 front-page GrowthHackers posts to gain insight about the ecosystem. This is that insight.
The average number of votes per post was 7.0. The median was 5 and the standard deviation was 6.7.
The average number of comments per post was 3.1. The median was 1 and the standard deviation was 5.1.
The highest rated post of all time earned 55 votes (http://growthhackers.com/all-growth-hackers-should-learn-these-7-technical-skills/).
The most discussed post of all time generated 54 comments (http://growthhackers.com/questions/ask-gh-whats-in-your-conversion-optimization-stack/).
The most active user by post count (by a landslide) was @AnujAdhiya.
This is an amazing analysis!
"63% of the GrowthHackers.com posts from Jan 5th to July 21 came from just 11 authors representing just 1.6% of the users that submitted posts that made it to the front page (650)."
Need to work on getting more people to contribute rather than just consume and make it easier to find good content from new contributors to surface new content sources.
Prior to March 1st it seemed that even posts that had less than 4 votes still made it to the front page. After March 1st it appears they did not. It looked like post authors began to diversify dramatically more recently.
Yep, we changed the front page algorithm on 3/1 to fight spam attacks with people submitting a ton of low quality content that would overwhelm the front page and kill engagement and visits.
Wow this is great. Still think @AnujAdhiya is really a robot, what a machine. Thanks for the insights.
Hah! I've been chuckling all day over this comment.
Can't wait to dive into this!
Wow, that's really cool. I didn't realize that @francoismathieu had already did a similar analysis. I wish I had thought to analyze the most common sources for content. I can't believe I missed that.
Nice graphs. Good idea to package the raw data as an offer, kudos.
Great analysis. Thanks! Loved reading this.
Your analysis regarding the "Must Read" category makes sense but you will notice that "Must Read" is not a category option when publishing content here.
In fact, the reason why the analysis showed such great numbers for the MR category is because (I believe) only posts that hit a certain threshold are tagged with that category. Not sure if it is manual or automatic but the user does not get to decide. Notice how only posts with 20+ upvotes are in that category.
Also, did you do a day / time analysis? I think you would find that this submission would have received many more upvotes if posted here on a Mon to Weds.
Thanks for the feedback @benhoffman! re: "Must Read" I thought that was the case but wasn't certain so I just hopped over it.
I did not do analysis by day, however that wouldn't be very difficult since I extracted the post date.


Great scores all around. I'm still playing. I was away for a week on a business trip, but I'll be back at it starting tomorrow. I love this game (only arcade mode though, I don't care for the other modes).
One note about my 369m score. I finished with 4 health bars, but my active one had taken [a lot of] damage from lasers. I believe adverse mentioned that a damaged life bar doesn't receive any bonus at the end of the game, so Lx3 would be the correct way to record it, right?
You should probably list it as "Lx4 (with some damage)". That's how they do it in Arcadia.
I thought I'd help you out, HVL, so I updated all the charts with my recent scores and all of iconoclast's scores.
I just can't get the true hang of this.
Arcade is actually my favorite mode as well.
I thought I liked Shin more, but it's too gimmicky.
Arcade is still tops for me but I like Zetsu too, it feels like a Black Label. Shin feels like a console arrange mode to me, not something I can really click with.
Maybe it would be easier to list the lives Death Smiles style, to keep it short. Like this run would be Lx2.5. Just a suggestion.
I've been watching the super play, but really can't grasp the techniques.
Cheers, updated with latest scores.
I'd still like to get better Zetsu scores with Type A and B, and then go back to Shin eventually, but I'm feeling kinda done for now.

Marianne Eaves has announced her departure from Castle & Key after four years.
Eaves attended the University of Louisville, where she earned a degree in Chemical Engineering. She then earned a coveted internship with Brown-Forman, where she quickly rose through the ranks to become Master Taster under Chris Morris., earning a spot on Forbes' 30 under 30.
She departed to Castle & Key to bring the 'Bourbon Phoenix' back from ruins, where she quickly became a rockstar of the bourbon world, appearing in films such as Bourbon Neat as well as numerous print and digital publications.
"Over the past four years I have been so proud of Castle & Key's strong brand, portfolio of spirits and position as a historical bourbon tourism destination," said Eaves in her morning press release. "This is in no small part due to the incredible team we have put in place since the beginning, and I have every confidence they will uphold my stringent quality standards."
Eaves will be entering the consulting space and focusing on reaching other goals, though she says she will not be turning her back on her role as the first woman Master Distiller in Kentucky since Prohibition.
"I am not turning my back on being a Master Distiller, but I am taking the time I need to bring some of my other goals I've set to fruition," Eaves said. "My time at Castle & Key was a phenomenal experience,and I feel that I've left it in a place where the spirits can speak to my vision. It is boldness that got me to the position of Master Distiller, and it is time for another bold step in my career to continue to make the impact I envision."

Kâtip Çelebi, Mustafa bin Abdullah, o Kalfa, fu uno studioso ottomano e uno storico, considerato uno degli autori più fecondi della letteratura non-religiosa del XVII secolo.

Biografia

Figlio di un militare, fu egli stesso un soldato per dieci anni, finché un'eredità ricevuta lo indusse ad abbracciare una vita più contemplativa. Come contabile del Dipartimento di Commissariato dell'esercito ottomano in Anatolia, accompagnò le truppe nella campagna contro Baghdad del 1625. Fu presente all'assedio di Erzurum e tornò a Istanbul nel 1628. L'anno seguente fu ancora a Baghdad e Hamadan, e nel 1633-34 ad Aleppo, da cui partì per il pellegrinaggio canonico islamico (da cui gli venne il titolo onorifico di Hājjī). L'anno dopo fu a Erivan e quindi tornò a Istanbul. Qui ottenne un posto nell'Ufficio del Dipartimento di Commissariato, che gli consentì di avere tempo per lo studio. Sembra che egli seguisse le lezioni di grandi Maestri fino al momento in cui morì e dedicò grande attenzione a visitare le biblioteche e ad annotare i titoli e contenuti di tutti i libri che vi trovava (Katip, che significa "bibliotecario", è un appellativo che egli si guadagnò con questa sua attività certosina).

Katip Çelebi morì improvvisamente senza sofferenze nell'ottobre del 1657, mentre beveva una tazza di caffè.

Opere
Tra i suoi lavori più noti figura certamente il Kashf al-ẓunūn ʿan asāmī al-kutub wa al-funūn, ("Lo svelamento delle ombre circa i titoli dei libri e delle arti"), un'enciclopedia bibliografica, scritta in arabo, in sui sono elencati oltre 14.500 libri in ordine alfabetico.

Uno dei suoi lavori più brevi e parimenti accessibile è invece il Mīzān al-ḥaqq fī ikhtiyār al-aḥaqq ("La bilancia della verità nella scelta delle cose più vere"), una collezione di brevi saggi su argomenti frequenti e caratteristici del diritto islamico, etica e teologia musulmana, in cui egli mostra un'attitudine relativamente liberale e un punto di vista tollerante se paragonato all'orientamento delle autorità religiose islamiche, spesso poco critico. Il libro servì come fonte ispiratrice per le successive aperture sociali ottomane nel XVI e XVII secolo, come l'introduzione e il consumo del caffè e del tabacco.
Sebbene egli non contribuisse alla potenziale messa al bando di caffè e tabacco, egli trovava personalmente sgradevole il sapore di quest'ultimo, scrivendo dei suoi "effetti tossici".

Edward Sharmazanov rules out large-scale military actions in Karaabkh conflict zone
July 13, 2017 July 13, 2017 David Nargizian 2017
Public Radio of Armenia
The Artsakh-Azerbaijan conflict has recently entered a new stage, Vice President of the Armenian National Assembly says.
Armenian philharmonic orchestra announces start of Babajanian Year on composer's birthday
"Ignoring all agreements reached in Vienna and St. Petersburg, as well as all international commitments, Azerbaijan periodically escalates the situation at the line of contact, undertakes infiltration attempts," Vice-President of the National Assembly Edward Sharmazanov told reporters today.
"The recent developments show that the Azerbaijani leadership has drawn lessons from Hitler Germany and uses its own population as a human shield," he said.
Speaking about the meeting between Armenian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers in Brussels on July 11, Sharmazanov emphasized three important points.
"The Co-Chairs once again reiterate the imperative of solving the conflict exceptionally through peaceful negotiations. Second, the Armenian side reiterates its stance that progress in negotiations is impossible unless the agreements reached in Vienna and St. Petersburg are called to life. Third, Azerbaijan continues its non-constructive policy by refusing to implement the agreements," he said.
Sharmnazanov believes Armenia should remain committed to its 'harsh stance.' "President Serzh Sargsyan clearly stated at the National Assembly on May 18 that the security of the people of Artsakh is the utmost objective. Second, he emphasized that the Karabakh issue should be solved through the free _expression_ of will of the people of Artsakh," the Vice-Speaker said.
He noted that "on the other hand, the international community, the co-chairing countries should seek ways for persuading or pressuring Azerbaijan to implement the agreements."
"Azerbaijan wanted to establish a new status quo after the April military actions, to start negotiations from the scratch, but failed to do so," Edward Sharmazanov said. According to him, the meetings in Vienna and St. Petersburg were a failure of Azerbaijani diplomacy.
He called attention to the statements of the Russian Foreign Ministry, urging Baku to stop discrimination against Russian citizens with Armenian surnames. "This is not now, but what's important is that the statement is being made in the wake of June escalation at the line of contact, which could mean the Russian Azerbaijani relations are entering an unfavorable stage."
Edward Sharmazanov believes the Karabakh issue should be solved exceptionally in a peaceful way on the basis of the three principles of international law, where the full realization of the Artsakh people's right to self-determination should be the key point. He stressed that Artsakh has nothing to do with Azerbaijan's territorial integrity. "Artsakh has not been part of independent Azerbaijan at least for a second," he stressed.
The Vice-Speaker rules out the possibility of a large-scale war. According to him, the Trump-Putin meeting showed that the superpowers will not allow a new hotspot next to Syria.

What You Need to Know About Edge Router Configuration
Your network edge is what connects your network to the internet, allows remote employees to VPN in, and can connect your campus to other branches of your enterprise. Because the network edge is quite literally the edge of your network, it can be vulnerable to outside attacks. One connection between your network and the internet beyond your WAN is an edge router.
What is an Edge Router?
Edge routers are gateways that accept inbound traffic into your network. Edge routers work to secure the network edge and protect the core by characterizing and securing IP traffic from other edge routers as well as core routers. They differ from core routers in that core routers forward packets between routers to manage traffic and prevent packet loss, often using multiplexing.
Edge routers also referred to as access or branch routers, are specialized routers that act as gateways at the network edge. They enable connectivity between an enterprise network and an external network. They are typically used at the wide area network (WAN) or the Internet.
How Does an Edge Router Work?
An edge router uses static or dynamic routing to send or receive data from other networks. Data transfer between the network and Internet or WAN edge typically use Ethernet, such as Gigabit Ethernet via copper or over single or multimode fiber optic. Organizations that have multiple locations or isolated networks may use edge routers rather than a core router.
Most edge routers are hardware devices. However, the functions of an edge router can also be performed by a standard server, using specific software for that function.
Edge Routers are Essential For:
Bandwidth levels between the LAN and WAN differ, which can create traffic slowdowns and bottlenecks. Edge routers queue data to prevent this. A QoS strategy is essential for managing the flow and queueing of data.
As previously mentioned, edge routers work to secure the network by characterizing and securing IP traffic as it flows into the network. Edge routers are the first line of defense against spoofing and other network attacks, playing a vital role in the edge firewall. An edge firewall protects the enterprise network from intrusions and other security threats using perimeter security services (traffic inspection, network address translation, security policies, and IPsec).
Remote employees need to access the network in order to do their jobs effectively. For this, local area network (LAN) services must be available through the network edge. Commonly, VPN is used as a secure method of access to the network.
The specific configuration depends on your network, business needs, and your ISP but there are some things to take into consideration.
An edge router should support edge interconnect protocols:
It should also support routing protocols:
OSPF-TE
OSPFv3
As part of the edge firewall and the first line of defense, an edge router should be able to:
Limit the type of traffic that accesses the control plane
Enforce packets per second (PPS) limitations
Police traffic, including penalizing or discarding traffic that exceeds bandwidth limits
Support granular access control lists
Support unicast reverse path forwarding modes:
Support SSH, IPsec, GRE, and IP tunneling
Network Address Translation (NAT)
An edge router should support a variety of NAT techniques, such as:
NAT44 – The static translation of source IPv4 without port mapping
NAT 64 – The translation of addresses between IPv6 and IPv4
NAPT44 – The static translation of source IPv4 addresses with port mapping
Twice NAT44 – The static translation of source and destination IPv4 addresses
Because the edge router serves as the gateway for data coming into the network and data leaving, it should also support account data collection, such as:
Average traffic flows
Bytes or packets received per application
Bytes or packets transmitted per application
Properly installing and configuring your edge router can help keep traffic flowing smoothly into and out of your network, allow remote employees to securely connect to the network and protect your network from threats. Hopefully, this guide has helped inform you of the importance of edge routers, and the part they play in your network.

Arguably one of the ugliest vegetables going, celeriac is proof that it's what's on the inside that counts.
It tastes delicious and is incredibly good for you. We like it so much that we created a brand - we're proud to be 'The Ugly One'.
It's a demanding crop to grow successfully and we have to be on the ball (find out more on our crops page) but since a two acre trial in 1992 we've carved out a niche market for this versatile veg.
Boil it, mash it, slice it, grate it raw, roast it, make delicious soup with it. Serve it on its own or with an accompaniment to any type of meat - in fact celeriac is so versatile there isn't much you can't do with it.
It's also got a great affinity to curry and our favourite must be curried celeriac chips baked in the oven just like potato chips but with a much sweeter taste. Give them to your children; they will love them (so much more nutritious than potato chips) and a good way of introducing a new vegetable into their diet.
Celeriac not only tastes great but is extremely beneficial to anyone on a diet, possessing only 42 calories per 100gm serving. It is high in fibre and cholesterol free, and has very cheering levels of potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, phosphorous, calcium and magnesium. It contains more iron than Broccoli.


A fellow pulls a sick day from work to attend a one-day international. There he begins to think. His mind unravels and his way of life disintegrates.
This is the premise of Michael O'Leary's novella Out of It It's Auckland in 1987 and the New Zealand XI is lustrous: Richard Hadlee, the brothers Crowe, Ewen Chatfield, Lance Cairns and Jeremy Coney. The home side wins the toss and elects to bowl. From one end of Eden Park, Hadlee scythes wickets, and Chatfield ties up maidens at the other.
This may sound readily imaginable. Proceedings are soon warped.
The first delivery is smacked back over Hadlee's head for six by Jimi Hendrix. The Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring is run out for a duck. Oscar Wilde makes hay against Cairns and John Bracewell.
Fantastical, Out of It is fun, or at least it's not banal, which is more than can be said for a good many ODIs.
Attending cricket alone, one finds the mind tends to wander. When not focused on play, it will often mull over the affairs of one's life. Sometimes it is found traipsing into outlandish territory. Patrick Malone, the protagonist of the book, spent his youth "out of it" in a bohemian existence. His past ten years have been lived in the suburbs, married and raising a family, working full-time for a government department. These circumstances - "everything we've worked for and believed in", as his wife quails - are derailed by his day at the cricket, where play is as illusory as anywhere Patrick's tangled thoughts may go.
New Zealand's opponents are an invitation "Out of It" XI. Among them are some crack batsmen. The Maori chief Te Rauparaha hits six sixes in an over. Vice-captain Bob Marley comes in at No. 8, cuffs a six and a four and is clean bowled by Martin Crowe. Janis Joplin anchors the tail with a steely 24 not out. James Joyce is not so enterprising, batting out two overs at the death for 0 not out.
"A second innings in a one-day game is not a true one"
Google "psychedelic cricket" and you'll see a colourful insect. Fifty years ago, when the countercultural world liberated its mind, Test cricket perished into a dreary era of stonewallers. But while cricket may have resisted tripping, the game still abounds with the absurd, and Out of It is not its only surreal offering. Pramesh Ratnakar's Centurion: Father, Son and the Spirit of Cricket is similarly wide of scope. There is William Rushton's hysterical and silly W.G. Grace's Last Case or the War of the Worlds Part Two, where the Old Man conducts a farcical murder-mystery hunt in the aftermath of the Martian invasion. James Joyce's Finnegans Wake uses cricketers' names as a long, garbled list of sexual euphemisms. And while in these incredible realms, let us never forget Shane Warne's mural.
Perhaps not surprisingly, such a curiosity as Out of It has enjoyed obscurity for the 30 years since its publication. If not strolling the avenues of literary awards and international critical acclaim along with the writers who produced Chinaman and Netherland, its author holds his own for style. O'Leary runs a bookshop in the railway station in Paekakariki, a coastal hamlet north of Wellington. Once, he took a train from Auckland to Dunedin, wearing a taxidermied hawk on his shoulder.
Out of It has uncertain points. Some of the pastiche cricket monologues are weak, and Malone's navel explorations (presented as a dizzy stream of consciousness) are at times indulgent and dull. Nonetheless, it is a happy and a pleasingly compact read, and a work of striking originality.
The cricket writing is a particular strong point and its fantastical elements don't give way to flimsy whimsy. At the very least, as a New Zealand artistic response to cricket, it trumps Tim Finn's "Runs in the Family" (despite that song's excellent rap breakdown).
The cliché is that hearing others talk about their dreams is tedious. Following this argument, explication of Out of It risks doing the book a disservice, for the surreal is best experienced firsthand. The intrepid reader who seeks it out will be undoubtedly confused at points but elated by the process.
'10 dollars please, sir.' Malone handed over the blue money and walked through the gates to freedom. Yes, that was the only word to describe the feeling he got from being behind fences in the midst of a multitude of people all assembled together to experience the magic of a game of cricket. He walked around until he found a programme which he purchased along with a hot pie and a can of Coca Cola, then he found a place to settle for the rest of the day.

Another American Civil War grenade, this one was front-percussion fused, and fin-stabilized for throwing. Like a lawn-dart with enough explosives to blow holes in fortifications, concrete, wood logs, etc... Fairly widely used during sieges.

Watch: Dakota Fanning & Jesse Eisenberg Plan A Bombing In New Trailer For Kelly Reichardt's 'Night Moves'
Watch: Dakota Fanning & Jesse Eisenberg Plan A Bombing In New Trailer For Kelly Reichardt's 'Night Moves'
Last week we got the international trailer, and now it all comes home today with a new domestic trailer for Kelly Reichardt's "Night Moves." And it dives into a world where trust is earned, and forever fragile, and where conviction is the biggest weapon of all.
Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Dakota Fanning and Peter Sarsgaard, the film follows three people who come together to bomb a hydroelectric dam and delves into the moral and ethical dilemmas they face, and seemingly the shifting dynamics among them. As you might expect from Reichardt, it moves at its own pace, but the result is one where the tension is continually raised, with our review out of Venice calling the movie, "nail-biting" and one that nods favorably toward Alfred Hitchcock and Claude Chabrol in its construction.
"Night Moves" opens on May 30th. Watch below.

Els Banys Romans (en anglès Roman Baths) són un edifici d'interès històric situat a la ciutat anglesa de Bath. Es tracta d'un complex de banys públics romans molt ben conservats i d'un gran interès turístic. Els edificis, la part alta dels quals data del , són considerats listed buildings de grau I (sistema de classificació dels edificis d'especial interès arquitectònic, històric i cultural al Regne Unit).

Història
Els celtes van construir el primer recinte sagrat a la ciutat de les aigües termals i el van dedicar a la deessa Sulis, que els romans van identificar amb la deessa Minerva. Tot i que el nom de Sulis es va continuar utilitzant després de la invasió romana, va acabar derivant en el topònim Aquae Sulis (literalment, 'Aigües de Sulis'). Des del , durant l'ocupació romana a la Gran Bretanya, es van anar construir temples i balnearis enormes a Bath, que es van utilitzar durant quatre segles. Després de l'ocupació romana, durant la primera dècada del , aquests edificis es van abandonar i a vegades van desaparèixer, ja que van ser enderrocats. Les seves aigües termals, reputades com a medicinals, es van utilitzar durant tota l'edat mitjana i van adquirir notorietat al  quan dos arquitectes, John Wood pare i fill, van reconstruir-ne els edificis. L'expansió victoriana dels banys públics va seguir respectuosament la tradició neopal·ladiana establerta pels Woods, com es pot veure a les imatges annexes. El complex romà, recuperat a finals del  i novament obert al públic el 1897, a part de ser una gran troballa arqueològica, ha esdevingut una de les atraccions turístiques més importants de la ciutat.

L'aigua que flueix dels Banys Romans no es considera higiènicament adequada per prendre un bany, en part a causa del sistema de canonades de plom instal·lat en el passat i encara en funcionament, però sobretot també a causa de l'encefalitis  que s'ha trobat a l'aigua. El nou Balneari Termal de Bath, construït al costat i dissenyat per l'estudi de Nicholas Grimshaw, permet als banyistes d'avui dia experimentar les aigües en les diferents perforacions que s'han realitzat recentment.

2 Pink Banana Boards - By Category - Beauty Tools | Belcam Inc.
Denco's 2718 Pink Banana Boards are the perfect files for natural nail manicures. These double-sided files have a cushioned foam core for flexibility with a medium grit on one side and a fine grit on the other. Featuring a curved shape for maximum comfort and efficiency, the banana boards are long-lasting and make quick work of shortening nails and smoothing the edges. A real bargain in this two-board package.
If you are looking to gently, yet effectively, shape and smooth natural nails, this file will be a great choice. Fans of ergonomic design will also appreciate that this curved board effortlessly follows the shape of your nails.
Gently slide the file along the free edge of your nail in one direction, not in a back-and-forth, see-saw manner. Repeat until you have the desired shape and smoothness. Use the 280 grit side to quickly reduce your nail length and the 320 grit side to smooth and finish.
Your file can be gently rinsed to remove file dust and allowed to air dry. Do not soak your file for long periods of time or scrub it aggressively this will cause the edges of the grit to lift and curl.

Continued from Page 51
stint working for a judge, came on board. It took about 15 years to buy his father out, but he was running things within a couple of years, he said.
Why did he choose to stay with the family travel business? "I'd seen some advantages ... traveling to interesting places, but it was the lifestyle" in a small (population: 10,000)
A pilot with 35 years' flying experience, Fred Bursch commutes by air between offices.
lakeside resort community. And, "I wanted my kids to be around their grandparents, and it was to work with my dad; he was kinda my idol."
Pete Bursch, when Travel Weekly interviewed him 25 years ago, lamented computerization because it "sort of took the fun out of it ... you used to call the airlines and you would know the reservationist."
Son Fred recalled the "revelation" that was teleticketing, the ticketing option that preceded GDSs. For him, computers made basic functions a lot easier and staff more efficient. And the Internet, admittedly a double-edged sword, is an invaluable informa-tion-gathering tool, he said.
But some things are harder today, such as staffing.
In the early days, he recalled, agency staff noted each customer's travel request on a res card and bunched the cards by airline in time for each carrier's daily call to the agency to make all reservations at once. The agency staff then wrote the tickets by hand.
Bursch explained that, in such an era, when fares were few and regulated, "you could be an order taker."
Today, he said, "we have to look for passionate salespeople, people who have good customer relations," which reduces the pool of candidates.
The business has changed in other ways, too. The business mix was
80% air before the first commission caps in 1995 but is only 35%
now, "which has freed us to do what's more fun and has higher
margins," Bursch said.
Clients are a new breed, too. "In the past, we dealt with anyone," but Bursch doesn't mind that travelers think they can get a better deal on the Web for cheap Vegas trips, once "our bread and butter."
That leaves the customers who, while better informed and more demanding, need Bursch Travel for their more complicated,
not to mention pricier, trips. Customers also include those "who don't want to take their own time on this."
As for the product, "the overall quality of everything has ratcheted up, ... and clients have moved up, too," in terms of what they expect.
The destination list is "much broader." Before the fall of the Iron Curtain, "I could count on one hand the sales to Bulgaria, Romania or Poland, but now selling them is second nature." The expansion of global airline alliances also has helped broaden choices, Bursch said.
With more branches, Bursch changed something else: A pilot with 35 years' experience, he travels among the offices on a six-seat, twin-engine Beechcraft Duke.
He has owned planes since the mid-1980s and uses the craft "to expand my days"; he can visit several branches a day but have dinner at home. Besides, he said, his commutes above the clouds on autopilot at about 200 mph are very relaxing.
The agent as airplane pilot?
Some things really did change in 50 years.
TWO-FISTED LEADER
After addressing the ASTA convention in Havana, Cuba's new president, Fidel Castro, who had just taken power in the island nation, was shown holding a cigar in one hand and with a pen in the other for signing autographs. He had addressed ASTA's Havana travel congress in English.
TERRORISTS CLOSE CONGRESS
The annual ASTA World Travel Congress was canceled at the conclusion of day one after an anti-Marcos faction detonated a bomb during the opening session, injuring 18. President
Ferdinand Marcos was in the room when the bomb exploded. (Photo at right shows delegates assisting an injured agent.)
NEW WEB SITE TO OFFER 'ONE-STOP'
That new Web site was Travelocity, among the earliest of a new breed of travel
agencies aiming to do business only online. It was the first among those that
would rise fairly quickly to mega status. It debuted in March 1996. Microsoft
launched Expedia later that same year.
AIRLINES AGREE TO SELL SATOTRAVEL
Sato Travel, a $1 billion travel management corporation owned by 11 U.S. air-
lines, ended 45 years under airline control by agreeing to be acquired by a private
investment team and to become an ARC agency. The buyers were Ambassadors
International, headed by brothers Peter Ueberroth, chairman, and John Ueberroth,
president; Stuart Mill Capital, an investment firm; and GE Pension Trust. It later
became part of Carlson Wagonlit.
The oldest agency marketing organizations are Virtuoso, from 1951, and Signature, 1956. First known as Allied Travel and Leisure Tours, respectively, both were cooperatives, though that is not true of Virtuoso now.
These pioneers focused on upscale markets and represented a small portion of retailers. Today, agencies of all sizes and types may be members of marketing groups.
The 1968 creation of Giants, a cooperative, is considered the kickoff event for that shift. Several more groups came on line in the 1970s, Travelsavers among them in 1972.
Perhaps it was inevitable that eight groups were folded into one, Vacation .com, by 1999, with Action 6 added
later, pushing the strength-in-numbers notion further. It is the largest marketing group by number of locations.
Early on, some called such groups "commission clubs," but suppliers demand more nowadays. The agents use their numbers and technology to market with suppliers more effectively than was possible 50 years ago.
Groups of corporate agencies can negotiate pricing with suppliers, too, which they do for their bottom lines and for customer benefit. They place a greater emphasis on using technology and networking to serve customers.
The first of these to emerge were Woodside Group, now Radius, in 1973, and Hickory Travel Systems in 1976.
