Megan Park Dishes On Her Fairytale New Role in A CINDERELLA STORY:Â ONCE UP
2012-01-22 15:35:00 Once upon a time there was a young teenage girl who wanted nothing more than to be a world famous pop singer – just one tiny problem, she could not sing. Not daunted by this small hiccup, Beverly Van Ravensway (Megan Park) came up with a creative solution: she would lip-sing her way to stardom. Alas, just like in any classic Cyrano de Bergerac story, this scheme is almost certain to backfire spectacularly. In a recent press conference call, the delightful Megan Park candidly shared some of her experiences in working in the fun film A CINDERELLA STORY: ONCE UPON A SONG as the musically-challenged Beverly Van Ravensway. What similarities and differences did you find between this CINDERELLA story and the original? MEGAN: The original was more sticking with the traditional Cinderella-esque fairytale, and this one was sort of like a modern day take on it, which I thought was kind of unique and creative. Obviously there’s only one wicked stepsister and it wasn’t kee...

The Role of Credit Scores in Mortgage Note Investing
2012-01-06 20:25:00 Any time that a mortgage note holder calls me about selling their note, one of my initial questions to them is regarding the credit score and current employment of the payer (the new owner of the property who is making payments on the note).

Derrick Rose IS a role model
2011-12-29 21:44:00 I was reading the Trib today, and there’s an opinion piece about why D Rose is no role model, http://www.chicagotribune.com/n-ews/opinion/ct-perspec-1229-ros-e-20111229,0,5657899.story.  It’s pretty predictable stuff in that it says kids shouldn’t try to be the next Derrick Rose because the chances of that are as good as winning the lottery, instead of trying to be in...

The Ramble for 12-19-11: Tebow; Hitch; Iraq Not Over; Role Reversals; Oil A
2011-12-19 15:22:00 Carlisle, PA--After three highly unusual weeks of running to the west it appears as though I will be spending the remainder of this year running east. That’s a bit more normal for this truck line. Frankly, we’re experiencing a bit of a pre Christmas slowdown. I’m not worried. I’ve seen this before. From here, I will run to Schenectady, New York. And then from there, well, we’ll find out tomorrow. Tim Tebow: Yes, I know… His team lost yesterday, but that hardly matters to my point. Erikson tweets tweets: Regarding Tim Tebow, the last time this many people were interested in a white bronco was when OJ Simpson drove slowly down the road. Heh… yeah there is that. But let’s try a little experiment. Let’s imagine Tebow is Muslim. Does he still get the negative reaction he’s getting now from the usual suspects? Somehow, I think not. Just sayin’… Then from the other end… Hitch: Sorry to see him go&h...

We Preview Kristin Bauer’s Wicked New Role on ONCE UPON A TIME
2011-10-30 17:29:00 Just how dedicated is actor Kristin Bauer when it comes to her fan favorite role of Pam on TRUE BLOOD? So much so that unlike many actors who consciously make an effort to tackle roles completely different than their regular series gig while on hiatus, Bauer prefers to stay in character. Which is precisely why tonight sees her brushing up on her bitchiness by stepping into the stilettos of one of Hollywood’s most iconic evil queens: Maleficent, the mistress of all evil. See for yourself what she had to say about the role in addition to Maleficent’s similarities to TRUE BLOOD’s Pam, after the jump. How familiar were you with Maleficent prior to accepting this role on ONCE UPON A TIME? Kristin Bauer: I believe the last time I saw Sleeping Beauty I was seven, but we all remember her, I mean she was so amazing. I went to YouTube, watched some clips, read the story online and then I said to my husband, “My God!” For little kids, it’s kind of amazing ...

The role of independent journalism ? my take
2011-09-25 05:54:00 By J L Samboma The following piece is the outcome of a recent encounter I had on an internet forum. It began after I commented on the role of independent journalism in society. It was the first time I had been forced to define what independent journalism means to me. I say "forced" because it made me dig deep. Ducking out of a response was not an option. I have reproduced it here because I believe it is relevant. Secondly, because I hope to open up the debate to anyone who has a contrary view, so that the dialectice can continue on in a wider sphere. This is what I wrote:

Nancy Wake, WW2 Australian Heroine ? A Timeless Role Model
2011-08-11 15:21:00 In my own country, Australia, but in other countries too, there is mourning for one of the most magnificent heroines that any country has produced - Nancy Wake. An Australian in the French Resistance, a courier, spy, and fighter against Nazi Germany, she fought behind the lines in France. Nancy Wake, Great Australian Heroine of The French Resistance, World War II. The Gestapo code-named her 'the White Mouse', referring to her extreme elusiveness in the field. Before the outbreak of war, she saw Jews bound to massive wheels in Vienna, on which people were whipped. She vowed that she would do something to expose such vicious inhumanity. To those whom I have been addressing in my last blogs, for example the Sathya Sai college boys (now long adult), I commend that they read even the briefest of the abundant news articles since last Sunday, when she died aged 98. Perhaps they might be challenged to consider that it is by honest, decisive, strong action, rather than by flowery wo...

Thorton wants set role
2011-03-03 06:47:00 White Sox brass are talking about not going with a set closer, using Matt Thonrton, Chris Sale, and Sergio Santos to close games by situation. "I've always felt the one-closer theory for the ninth is overrated,'' Williams said. "If you have a one-run lead with Justin Morneau and [Joe] Mauer coming up in the eighth, which inning is most important? I always try to give Ozzie and Coop the type of guys who can close an inning out from the sixth inning on."Listen, I know the ninth inning is sexy, and it's the closer and the great music comes on and the gate opens. But I love that we have the luxury that we can turn to any of those guys...

Now he’s healthy enough to play every day and manager Terry Francona thinks he could handle that role. There just isn’t an opening in Boston’s loaded lineup.

Cliff Lee should be role model for Francona and Lester
2010-10-13 15:47:00 I’m just guessing here, but if put in a similar situation that Texas manager Ron Washington and Cliff Lee were in last night, Red Sox manager Terry Francona would have told Jon Lester he was done after eight innings, leading 5-1, and Jonathan Papelbon would finish the job. And that would have been a mistake. Let’s get ...
Speedlinking: NASCAR?s ?Boy?s Have at it? plays a role in Kyle Busch vs. Da
2010-10-06 21:16:00 Everyone from NASCAR, the NASCAR community, Inside NASCAR on Showtime, media members, and the NASCAR fans themselves all seem to have an opinion on the Kyle Busch vs. David Reutimann battle at Kansas Speedway. So did Kyle Busch deserve payback from David Reutimann at Kansas? The results, namely what I have read on Twitter, Facebook, blogs, forums and what not all seem to be mostly siding with David Reutimann. Some believe that Kyle Busch deserved everything that he got from Reutimann. While others believe that Reutimann completely over reacted to the situation and shouldn?t have done anything. So here is a few articles on what I have read and be sure to read some of the comments in some of the articles, they really tell an interesting story. 1. Inside NASCAR on Showtime (video from show) 2. David Reutimann pays back Kyle Busch after earlier race incident at Kansas ? Go Reutimann. This article is written by me (Brian Vermette) that I published on my new personal blog BrianVerme...
Joe Satriani: Jem Godfrey filling in keyboard role for some UK tour dates

Do You Think Celebrities Have a Responsibility to Be Your Role Models?
2010-08-12 04:28:00 I often hear adults complaining about things that famous teenagers do. Miley Cyrus is often criticized for her choices; there has been a recent outburst against Eminem and Rihanna's new video. I remember hearing similar complaints about pop stars and celebrities as I was growing up. I also remember questioning those complaints, as I do today. Sure, I loved to listen to music, go to movies, and read the latest issues of Seventeen and Teen People. But I admired people like my parents, grandparents, brave women like Amelia Earhart and Sally Ride, and teachers who made a big impact on my life. Despite my love for Hanson, I never expected them to do much more than make good music...

Three role players that will be important to the offense's success
2010-07-14 17:27:00 The days of the t-formation Bears are long gone. In comes the latest reiteration of Mike Martz's "Greatest Show on Turf", this time Monster of the Midway-style. Can the Bears actually have a prolific offensive, slicing through defenses like a grizzly slices up their prey? Jay Cutler and Martz are in their honeymoon period, Matt Forte is injury free and the Bears brass are confident in their young wide receiver group.
Three role players that will be important to the defense's success
2010-07-13 17:16:00 There's no secret on who the Bears need to step up on defense to restore the respect they once had and to make to serious run at Super Bowl XLV. Julius Peppers needs have double digit sack numbers, Brian Urlacher needs to stay healthy, and, and the secondary needs to make plays. These "needs" are all given. It's the role players that need to emerge as key contributors to the Bears success.

A ROLE IN MY OWN MOVIE
2010-05-13 23:42:00 It has occurred to me that people form judgments and opinions about others way too quickly...me included. I've felt strongly about this for quite some time now and after my experience today I feel the need to talk about it. While standing in line at the store today, a young man(I mean young ) behind me strikes up a conversation. It started out as small talk and gradually turned into an uncomfortable state of affairs. I didn't want to be rude so I engaged in small talk, against my better judgment. THEN IT HAPPENED...He states that he thinks we should go for a ride on his bike. I'm wondering if it's a Big Wheel or Dirt Bike. My thought was interrupted by his...

Encanvas Enterprise Mashups on Azure changes the role of Business Analyst
2010-04-02 12:22:00 The announcement that Encanvas will be on Microsoft Azure later this month is likely to forever change the role of business analysts. At one time business analysts were almost seen as the triage people for IT development teams. They were the people that could understand business and make sense of processes; people with one foot in the business and the other in IT able to bridge across the impermeable divide that exists in the enterprise between business and IT. They were also the ?owners of the problem? that developers were charged to fix with their software developments. So in many organizations, business analysts became the well paid ?good communicating? bag carriers of the slightly higher paid software developers who could sit in their back rooms and ?just code?. This narrowly scoped role of the business analyst is not likely to sustain. In an agile business era there is no room for the heavy price of ?discovery and learning? in software development. Everyone knows that any lea...

Huet surrenders 7 goals Jackets, starters role to Niemi
2010-03-26 02:34:00 Uhh...WTF! When Joel Quenneville announced Wednesday that Cristobal Huet would get the start Thursday vs the Blue Jackets, he said he hadn't decided on his playoff starter. Cristobal Huet had his audition during tonight's 8-2 loss. Had he been auditioning on American Idol, he would have been better off soiling himself and setting Simon Cowell on fire, all while weeping the lyrics to "I'm So Excited." If he was even THAT good tonight, the Hawks may have had a chance. Instead, Huet looked like a goaltender who lost a bet, and had to play with his contacts out. He rarely saw the puck...until it was right behind him in the net. Cristobal Huet, poised to get scored on again The disaster...
A Tribute to John Wooden: A Role Model For Us All
2010-03-09 01:53:00 The first time I ever heard the name John Wooden was during a master's course I was taking for a post-graduate degree in administration. One of my assignments was to write a synopsis on a video of Coach Wooden's principles, relating his beliefs to information being taught in the course. Before then, I really had no idea who John Wooden was - let alone his coaching accomplishments. He was not someone I had ever come across. Boy, what a small world I lived in, right? Pushing the video into my VCR, I sat back on my couch, with a pad of paper and pencil to jot down some notes, and proceeded to watch what I thought would be a mundane lecture on success, leadership, or something else along those lines. However, what I got was so much more.

What is Feminism's Role in the LGBT Movement?
2009-12-11 23:49:00 The other day, ChicagoNow's Alicia Eler wrote what I thought was a fairly straight-forward piece: the Top 25 Most Homophobic Moments of 2009. Her selections--from pop cultural sideshows like Carrie "I believe in opposite marriage" Prejean, to more nuanced incidences like Castor Semenya's gender testing, to the tragic murder of 19-year-old Jorge Mercado--seemed spot on to me. Commentors seemed to disagree. I thought, for a post meant to raise awareness about hate, it sure did generate a lot of, well, hate.
