Kandra in the Apprentice season 3
1. Sur la question au lieu de personnes. Le premier épisode d'un hamburger Burger King sold out à l'émission, d'autres coéquipiers sont dirigés contre le style frivole de Danny, elle a une analyse claire, tandis que Danny lacunes, mais ce n'était pas une raison de cet échec, la raison fondamentale est qu'il n'y a pas de leader dans la caisse enregistreuse l'attribution de davantage de personnel, si Danny ne devrait pas être renvoyé. Elle résulte également de la première heure par Trump apprécié, mais aussi pour le dernier jeu à la mission ultime dans la coopération avec Danny et préfigurait son soutien. Di furu de Home Depot dans la conception de produits nouveaux, elle a de nouveau démontré sa générosité. Bien que la coopération avec Greg n'est pas heureuse, mais elle était l'expression très claire des lacunes de la pauvre Greg, mais dans l'équipe après la victoire qu'elle a été légèrement sûr un aperçu du marché Greg l'équipe clé du succès. Dans notre travail, les bonnes choses au lieu de personnes vont nous donner une compréhension plus claire des patrons, collègues et subordonnés des avantages et des inconvénients de la coopération et obtenir est long pour permettre à chaque personne en fonction de leurs caractéristiques de leur juste place, afin de maximiser les avantages de les jouer pour contourner leurs lacunes, plutôt que ceux qui préfèrent faire confiance à tous les travaux qui lui sont assignées ou d'écouter toutes les propositions qui n'aiment pas les gens à ignorer une telle équipe est la plus efficace. Mais aussi l'attitude des gens ne font pas aussi des gens plus réceptifs à leur point de vue, exprimé sa confiance dans leur point de vue des autres.
2. Partout dans le travail de l'accent mis sur le marketing, la clientèle commerciale du pays. Que ce soit l'exploitation d'un petit parcours de golf les communautés près du premier contact quand vous la publicité auprès des enfants, ou la première fois dans la conception de vêtements de faire une étude de marché chez les jeunes femmes, sont d'abord proposés et le travail d'engagement Kandra est également prouvé que ce sont ces facilement négligé de marketing, résultant dans le groupe Kandra et un autre groupe de différences fondamentales, mais aussi à Kandra le groupe à succès. Dans cette saison, afin de concevoir basé sur des tâches caractéristiques, la tâche est plus grand besoin d'une compréhension claire des clients, afin de promouvoir le modèle prévu, de manière à garantir que les produits sont la reconnaissance des clients et bienvenue. Dans les centres commerciaux, la pensée qui s'appuient sur la technologie et le produit idéal que vous pouvez gagner est stupide, même les meilleurs produits pour répondre aux besoins des clients peuvent ne pas être aussi productive qu'elle ne peut pas être vendu. Le même est vrai dans le milieu de travail, nos clients sont des parties prenantes, nos produits est notre idée, comprendre leurs préférences et à exprimer le point de vue que l'autre partie (notamment les patrons) veulent entendre, plutôt qu'ils ne le croient sages, afin que est plus facilement reconnus et acceptés.
3. Les choses sont prévues. Chaque fois Kandra Lorsque gestionnaire de projet, ses idées sont très claires à chaque étape, le chaos menacées. Surtout dans le dernier set de PK ultime, elle a été laissée à l'promoteur n'est pas la première impression parfaite, pas découragé, et immédiatement analyser le problème, un plan étape par étape pour les activités des modalités précises de la route, les coéquipiers de l'œuvre, car elles sont minces Par souci de mise en oeuvre facile, et l'assurance de la qualité. Ceci est mon très grand besoin dans la gestion de projets d'apprentissage, a reçu une étrange besogne ne devraient pas être les premières mouches comme un aveugle, comme veulent bientôt faire étape par étape, de sorte que la hâte de résoudre les problèmes, mais devrait d'abord examiner la nécessité de connaître l'ensemble processus et l'information, les problèmes potentiels et de formuler une mission de planifier, de préparer des plans d'urgence, le problème est concentré à la personne appropriée pour obtenir des conseils sur le travail en vue de leur contrôle sur leurs propres,
4. Bonnes aptitudes interpersonnelles. Démontre, à la fin, tous les joueurs en plus de son adversaire Tana ne l'aiment pas ne louons pas, y compris les subordonnés Tana et Greg, il ya deux raisons, une de ses compétentes et de charisme, et son travail à la tâche plus facile et plus contrôlée un sentiment d'accomplissement, bien sûr, personne n'est disposé à travailler avec les généraux Ever Victorious, deux succès constant pour le style coéquipiers elle, son coéquipier dans le verbal être apprécié, dans l'action par le respect et la confiance, bien sûr, y compris une impression plus favorable de son cœur, et a commencé à vivre plus fort. De bien entendu, une telle confiance n'est pas un laisser-faire, son travail pour ses coéquipiers confiance est fondée sur les travaux préparatoires qu'elle a tenté de simplifier la tâche assez pour que les équipiers les plus stupides facilement fait basé sur. Peut être vu à l'œuvre dans certains autres, et a salué l'importance des autres, faire le premier travail d'établir leur propre confiance dans les autres et créer un moral élevé, l'équipe a terminé avec succès les tâches pré-requis.
5. La situation d'ensemble. Bien que la seconde moitié de la course encore et encore une victoire, mais Kandra avec Greg et Tana a été une coalition de divergences d'opinion, dans sa tâche de GM de voitures neuves ont atteint un sommet conçoit des brochures, Greg et Tana et donnent même leur emploi pour traiter avec elle de dormir , elle peut décider d'abandonner, et avec leur non-coopération est venu à excuser Trump, mais elle a choisi de terminer la tâche comme le plus important, un organisme indépendant d'achever la conception et l'impression et, finalement, le succès. Ceci est tout à sa quête d'une performance parfaite, prête à assumer la responsabilité de la qualité des coéquipiers de mou dans les circonstances défavorables, toujours à lui un travail bien fait. De cours, elle n'est pas inconnue Bite the Bullet, "bon vieux temps" dans l'exercice de crédit pour les résultats et les affiche sont également sans ambiguïté quand elle ne laisse pas Tana s'asseoir et profiter du régime de réussir. Dans notre travail, mai être fréquemment rencontrées frottement avec d'autres, ou traités injustement, cette fois, faire abstraction des griefs personnels et les émotions, le tout afin de travaux lourds, vous pouvez éviter ou de se méfier de cette dehors du travail, mais au travail doivent encore adopter des attitudes professionnelles pour prédire la coopération pour assurer la réussite de l'œuvre, c'est la seule raison pour responsable de leur comportement propre avenir, l'affichage de l'humeur au travail, ne gagne côté, est le plus 损人不利己 de. Au moment même où la ligne dure devraient également pas être huitième rosée, a gagné le droit de lutter pour elles-mêmes, ne laissez pas un bon d'intimider les autres l'impression qu'un véritable respect pour l'adversaire pour gagner.
6. Frappante. Kandra moitié avant le match et n'a pas démontré une forte capacité, il n'y a aucune initiative pour faire chef de projet et, rarement, jouent un rôle clé dans le travail d'équipe, mais à partir de l'exploitation d'un petit terrain de golf tout à coup, et de sa propre équipe n'a jamais perdu avant, le dernier mot, c'est la performance de sa sagesse et une compréhension profonde des règles du jeu. Début de la course, la qualité de son coéquipier de la qualité inégale de la tâche est terminée il ya trop d'incertitudes en ce moment pour faire gestionnaire de projet est un comportement très risqué, sur la moitié arrière des paires de ses coéquipiers ont été clairement exposées à la fin de la situation, surtout ses deux échange de main-d'oeuvre et de manière décisive choisir le plus capable dans les deux autres, Greg et Tana, et de leur propre groupe des plus tatillonne des deux enlevés, elle reflète la connaissance intime d'elle. Le même est vrai dans le lieu de travail, vient de rejoindre la société ou une nouvelle équipe, les collègues et les patrons ne comprennent pas les habitudes de l'arête exposée, il est facile de devenir l'objet d'attaques. Au contraire, se mit à observer les autres chaque mouvement discret, pas dans une performance pressé, en attendant le bon moment pour devenir un succès du jour au lendemain, ou d'un travail en temps de paix visant à améliorer progressivement leurs propres progrès reflète le potentiel que cela va fermement établir la réputation de leur propre équipe
the confilit of 24
In fact, we've seen countless movie and television works by hundreds of millions of times similar to the paragraph: the lay down their guns, or I kill him / her! Is intended to save "This is a" (usually a closer relationship and their own) life, or for one by the "many" groups of individuals in order to strictly follow the mandate (this situation is the most common) to save the "more" individuals life, which became a never-ending challenge. Do not underestimate this problem, this simple question led to the paradox and the development of such a struggle, but so many of the political philosopher like breaking his head is also thought to understand. Is precisely this issue in depth lay out a large-scale and allow the 24 so good-looking, tension is always tight, and John is to be comrades in the struggle between responsibility and individual lives has become one of the highest production standards to date under the television industry a unique tragedy love heroes. As the film manual commented, Xiaoqiang convey the anxiety of the individual tragedies in the new Hollywood, after a period of American film has been very difficult to see.
In the "State" and "people" above all else a natural context of the conflict does not produce such a stirring, but in the kind of Tocqueville had set out the context of freedom and democracy, this conflict is bound to be fatal . (So generally lower than the terrorists inside Xiaoqiang firm, frank, and more of the loyalty of liver Yidan righteous spirit, and thus that country's decision-makers dilemma faced by many with the depth of the tragedy.) This conflict can be direct to toke Vail's point of view in a later reality has become something of the past, you know, Tocqueville praise and cursing Chomsky will never be the same stuff.
So 24 DVD set is really a cow Peter can not stand the drama! In order to "more people" life can be the same as the terrorists (as is said to be the world's most free and democratic country of the President of the authorization) to kill their own colleagues, but also did not know that terrorists will carry out its promise? In Xiaoqiang because of his responsibilities without hesitation when the loss of his wife, he embarked on a road of no return. In the sixth season, and John also shot and hit Curtis because Curtis should be reported to "personal enmity" If you want to kill have been numerous Assad evil. Think of Calvino a wonderful ultra-short, that one should get rid of a very bad bad guy, find the other joined the army, himself joined the opposing army. In order to kill the bad guy, he had killed in the war many people turned out a hero, but had never met that scoundrel. Later, in times of peace, he finally met in the street, it was the wish of the result, he was caught went to prison, even though in his mind, that person is really bad, and he killed people on the battlefield he did not know. Sixth quarter, the most impress me is a small strong brother (or brother?), Said: "We are all for the country, devotion to duty, we are the same, you and I are exactly the same!" In order to "states" could be easily put gas bomb a nuclear bomb, in order to "State", it can prevent the kind of person who casually in front of the sacrifice and their most intimate, and this essentially two kinds of people really on the difference? Xiao Qiang is the latter, he confused this pain. Former defense minister, said Xiao Qiang is Zaixing Heller, small-keung said, HOW DARE YOU! I did not what kind of person you have asked me to do, do?
In the second half of S6, anti-terrorism gradually evolved into the Three Kingdoms, and John Combs is talking about in China, his grandson to leave the United States to bring this "ungrateful nation", to witness to the full realization of the "China threat" theory great moment! 24 really is chaos behind the scenes writing team! Rolling Stone magazine mentioned in a commentary, that the team where Han people who have political ideas, they are not making judgments, so that the dramatis personae from their basic concepts to proceed into action, even though the outcome can not be completely out of control, but is enough to prop up the one and the same as present-day realities great confusion.
In 9.11, the Huntington's "clash of civilizations" re-touted, but Mr. Fukuyama's "end of history" seems completely wrong, it is simply not immersed in the technical aspect of communication and forget the spirit of the sprint (and thus of war and conflict on the not occurred). Theory is gray, tree of life was too much chaos, conflict, far more than those few "civilized."

talk about CSI: Las Vegas
The popular show Supernatural
Dean et Sam ne pas la vie pour une vie où le frère de Misi's, n'a pas seulement une chasse les démons qui doit avoir tous les facteurs physiques et psychologiques, normales ou non la capacité de l'homme, a aussi un corps parfait Superman-like, Dream Lover, comme le beau visage pâle dépression, innocemment belle et grave beau ... ... En bref, le charme des frères est trop grand, et qu'ainsi convoité fans féminines dans les quatre ans après une autre transformation en une femme "Supernatural DVD set" (pour les hommes l'amour mâle conditions de travail sont en ligne goût pour les femmes, généralement des femmes qui préfèrent ces œuvres à l'autre entre l'auto-dévalorisation de remarque). Le drame est un multi-produits périphériques plus trop à confusion: romans, bandes dessinées, revues, cartes et ainsi de suite. La raison pour laquelle la plupart de ces marchés périphériques, naturellement, grâce à une énorme quantité de loyauté, de haute die-fan dur. Ils collectent toutes sortes de légendes urbaines folle, l'écriture de l'histoire proviennent presque les gens à penser que le jeu est devenu un sous-phénomène culturel.
Dans les Supernatural DVD boxset", "femme pourrie" fans drame semblent, Dean et Sam ont été bons pour un certain état - ils ne peuvent avoir que de l'autre, mais ne permet pas d'homme, femme ou de l'intervention monstre. Depuis, ce drame semble être l'original bien se tenir "contrôle" de puissance surnaturelle, à partir du 4ème trimestre d'un coup devenu une ère Web2.0 typique de "l'opéra pourrir.
Dans les Supernatural season 4 DVD boxset de la tournée mondiale de promotion a été demandé de vendre les acteurs qui jouent Dean et Sam sueur froide, la question encore et encore, un nez proéminent et grands yeux sont la «femme étrangère pourris." Au moment de cette interaction est roi "ère, cette femme a« pourri »tempête a balayé la vitesse et la portée, ont été assez puissante pour faire forcé d'attacher une importance au point où l'équipage majeur. Juste au moment où face à des goulets d'étranglement avis faibles et écrivains personnel créatif inférieur, a décidé de venir simplement d'un mouvement donné - sans porter la ligne de l'histoire de la prémisse, ils sacrifier deux premier rôle masculin, souhaitent par la suite la folie admiratrice: Dans le premier 4 étages dans la saison, Dean et Sam a trouvé les caricatures et ses collègues au sujet de leurs romans (Notez que ces produits périphériques sont hors-exister dans le monde réel), et même considéré comme une femme "pourris" fan pour le compte des éditeurs ( Elle est en effet dans la vie réelle et les éditeurs fan fiction dramatique). A ce moment, la réalité et l'intrigue se mit à fondre, touchant l'autre. Et le drame se déroule le genre précédent de pouvoir surnaturel des esprits par rapport à la situation réelle est sans doute le phénomène de plus décalés «surnaturel». Ce mouvement ne fait que regrouper les cotes, mais aussi attiré des femmes existants ou d'autres concurrents potentiels pourriture vue, considérablement augmenté la part de marché. "Rotten filles» ont été admirables engouement et la fidélité sont tous tellement touchée par le personnel créatif, et la direction de deux hommes, suffit à déclencher une réflexion plutôt significatif. Nous pouvons dire que la pourriture phénomène féminin s'est mondialisée, et les «forces du mal" a eu lieu au trimestre 4ème, les changements semblent représenter un développement en série TV d'une nouvelle tendance.
Aujourd'hui, les "forces du mal" sera à la 5ème saison se termine, les nouvelles ont été confirmées. Pour le recouvrement des quatre années d'amateurs d'opéra, c'est une question de pleurer dans un coin de mauvaises nouvelles. Heureusement, on peut imaginer à partir de l'embouchure du personnel joue un peu d'espoir, comme la lecture d'un doyen Jensen Ackles, a déclaré: «Si ces gars-là (en se référant à l'équipage majeur) souhaite continuer à faire des films, je serai très heureux de réaliser le fût!" Indéniablement, US-marché jouent, appelés fantômes se déchaînent, et les «forces du mal" en fin de compte la possibilité du retour de l'étendue de difficile à dire. Mais nous pouvons encore compter sur la pourriture admiratrice de la puissance du «surnaturel».

Preparatory homework 24 DVD boxset 8th Season:

Mediate makes prime-time TV, 2010 TOUR debut this week
He's figuring on, at the very least, an Emmy nomination for best supporting actor. He'll be deflated if it doesn't happen.
And if they make a new category? Say, golfer who can't act, but can play himself?
He should win that hands down, he says. Or is it toes up?Buy CSI: Las Vegas DVD Set
Of course Rocco Mediate is kidding.CSI: Las Vegas Seasons 1-9 DVD Boxset
Isn't he always when it comes to most of his roll-on-the-floor-laughing ramblings? The man can even turn his part in a murder scene into a run-on chuckle.CSI: Las Vegas DVD Set
We can't give away all the details, but Roc does make his prime-time dramatic debut Thursday night in the "Long Ball" episode on "CSI: Las Vegas DVD." The plot centers on the death of a golf legend on a golf course and, well, Rocco happens to find the body. And steals the opening scene.
"It was," he chuckled, "an absolute blast."
And, yes, he was a pro. A couple of different takes, a couple of different angles, a few word retakes and it was a wrap.
"They did it right," Rocco said. "They wanted it to look real. I told them a few things I would do with my caddie and movements. There were a few things I'd never say; things that I would say. If I'm playing myself, I have to play myself."
So, he'd offer suggestions to the directors and they'd say, "OK, try that."
Rocco shares the screen with series regular Marg Helgenberger -- CSI Catherine Willows in the show --- and has a couple of lines with her. He said she was "an absolute sweetheart" and the scene? "Dang, it was hilarious."
Natalie Gulbis, Duffy Waldorf, Kevin Na and CBS funnyman-announcers David Feherty and Gary McCord are also in the show, but it's Rocco who has generated all the buzz.
And you're surprised?
The most eye-catching part of his scene might be his girth. They shot the episode the Monday after Thanksgiving when Rocco was 35 pounds heavier. No one had to remind him. He knew it.
And he had a plan. Doesn't he always?
Eat better food. Eat smaller portions. And hit the old VersaClimber -- it's been his "bad ass" go-to weight loss miracle since 1993 -- an hour a day, six days a week.
"Not the first time I've dropped 30 pounds," he chuckled. "Done that four, five, six times."
It's always an uphill climb -- no pun intended -- and this time was no different. And while he was climbing 4,000-5,000 feet each night, he was also working to get into events. The 47-year-old finished 145th on the money list in 2009, which meant he wasn't exempt. Had a plan for that too.
A batch of phone calls and some waiting time later, Rocco found himself with sponsor's exemptions to nine of the next 10 events. All the way through the Florida Swing.
The leaner --- and meaner-looking, at least --- Rocco opens his 2010 season Wednesday at the Bob Hope Classic and, despite not winning since 2002, he's ready for his West Coast close-up Mr. DeMille.
"I expect nothing but greatness from myself," he said. "I've prepared more than I have ever prepared physically. Mentally, it doesn't really matter. I've always been psycho, so deal with that. It's get it from point A to point B. That's all this is."
That's all it was two summers ago, too, when he lost that iconic U.S. Open playoff to Tiger Woods at Torrey Pines. He came out of nowhere that week and, if he's done it once ...
He's convinced the 20-10 Rocco can do it again. He had just one top-10 last season (a tie for ninth at the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open), but he'll play three of his favorite courses in the next few weeks -- Torrey Pines, Riviera (Northern Trust Open) and TPC Scottsdale (Waste Management Phoenix Open). And if he can find some magic on the greens after some spiff-up time with Team Stockton, he believes he'll make his way into the World Golf Championship-Accenture Match Play Championship field.
"I might be ranked a millionth in the world right now --- I don't know -- but in a month, I could be 70th," he said. "That's the beauty of my job. I love my job."
For the record, Roc's 201st. He was 200, but Michael Jonzon jumped four spots over the weekend to push him back a spot. No big deal.
He's a bit surprised he's gotten so many exemptions, but, at the same time, he's flattered. To him, it means he's done his job right -- for the last 25 years. He plays pro-ams, does clinics and attends parties because he loves people and, well, when he was coming up, it was the right thing to do.
"I enjoy it," he said. "It's not a burden to me. Play, have a few drinks with the boys and have a blast. That's what it's all about. It's not about sports psychology, gyms and going to sleep at 9 o'clock. It's old school. There's still some old school golf out there."
Make no mistake. Rocco's thankful for another chance. His back has been acting up on-and-off since 1994 and he's happy if he has just a couple of bad-back weeks a year. He thinks, too, he's got four or five more years left on TOUR, which means he could follow Jay Haas and Fred Funk and postpone his Champions Tour career just a bit.
Crazy for a guy who hasn't won in years? No, just Rocco, who can't wait to jump headlong into the season.
As for acting?
He probably won't watch Thursday night. Said he'll likely catch his "CSI" moments on DVR in a few weeks. But you can be sure he'll be quick with quip --- self-deprecating or not --- when the locker room reviews start rolling in Friday morning.
So, does he have a future as an actor?
"I wouldn't call what I did acting," he laughed. "I was just being myself. I think acting would be much more difficult."
But we know Rocco and ... well, he'll be ready to accept that Emmy nomination -- or the Emmy if they add that new golfer-who-can't-act category.

Questions for Gary McCord CSI
For the shoot I had to sit in a trailer with Feherty for two days. So I'm emotionally scarred from that. I had about two graphs that I had to learn and read through. I had a wager with Rocco and Feherty that I would get my lines perfect the first time. I ended up doing two takes. But I had a lot of fun.
When is Tiger coming back?
I have had my tongue surgically removed from any questions about Tiger. So I can't answer that.
How will the 2010 golf season unfold?
I see the same thing happening where all the talent pool is concentrated in a couple of guys. I hope that after this thing is done with Tiger that some young players have established themselves so that we aren't all focused on one player who doesn't play that much to begin with. In any strong business you have to be diversified, and we're not real diversified on the Tour. We need some new stories.
Rules changes made grooves softer on wedges and irons in 2010. How will this impact play on the Tour?
This whole groove thing is a bunch of nothing. The Tour players have already worked around the rule by using new spinning balls or some other groove configuration from their equipment manufacturers. A 20 percent reduction in spin rate around the greens from the old groove to the new ones is not going to hurt these guys. They will just hit it higher and softer.
You've had some success on the Champions Tour with two wins, but by your own account you had an abysmal PGA Tour career: no wins, 24 Top 10s and 242 cuts in 378 events in 20-plus years. What was the key to your failure as a Tour player?
I made too many bogeys. I based my career on Bob Uecker's. I told Uecker the other day he had a .200 career batting average but only played six years in the big leagues, while I had long and embarrassing sequence of failure for over 20 years — in front of a lot of people.
You play out of Whisper Rock Golf Club in Scottsdale, which 40 PGA Tour players call home. Does this make your job as an analyst tougher when you have to see these guys in the grillroom?
I have never been that critical because, again, I took my career like Uecker and always said how bad my career was, taking a self-deprecating approach. But I do have a tendency to be harder on my friends that I play with at home.
Do the players trust you?
No. Even my best friends don't trust me because they know I have a big mouth. If they want to tell me something they will say, "This is off the record."
Aren't you responsible for the Top 125 all-exempt PGA Tour?
Yes. In 1982, when I came up with the idea, two-thirds of the players were Monday qualifiers. We were like a Bedouin society going around from palm tree to palm tree with no money. The Top 125 changed the whole administration of pro golf from a player's standpoint, giving security to more than just a handful of stars. I probably should have gotten a patent for it because every Tour in the world plays by it now. I'm an idiot for not doing that.
Feherty joined the CBS golf team in 1997, and since then you guys have become one of the funniest tandems in sports broadcasting. What should people know about him?
Feherty is the fattest cyclist that I have ever witnessed. He gets up every morning at about 3 a.m. and gets on that bike and rides 50 to 60 miles before 7:30. So he's out riding in the bowels of the night in a town he doesn't know with a little bitty light and he wonders why he gets hit so much. But when we go out for dinner after the telecast ends, he eats between a pint and 10 gallons of ice cream. So he rides and gets all of this exercise and he just gets fatter.
What was the last book you read?
Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol.
How do you groom your handlebar mustache?
It depends on the weather. Rollie Fingers taught me everything I know. If it's going to be a windy day, I apply excessive amounts of Clubman Pinaud, the wax of choice for all guys with handlebars. If it's going to be nice and sedate out, I'll apply the Clubman and wait for one hour and brush it out, which makes it really bushy and up in the air. If I go out there with my mustache brushed out and it's really nice in the morning and a storm comes through, I could end up in Kansas looking for Toto.

Supernatural: Sex And Violence
Their investigations into a string of seemingly unrelated incidents of men killing their wives leads Sam and Dean to the Honey Wagon, a strip club all the men visited, and they soon discover that a "siren" is at work, seducing the men with visions of their "perfect partner" and then leading them to murder the person closest to them.
Posing as FBI agents, Dean teams up with FBI agent Nick Monroe (Jim Parrack), also investigating the case, while Sam becomes entangled with a hottie doctor, Cara Roberts (Maite Schwartz).
Once the siren discovers the Winchesters are on its tail, its turns its attention to driving a wedge between the brothers and trying to trick them into killing each other - which doesn't take much, as Dean is already suspicious of Sam after he discovers his younger brother has been phoning Ruby secretly. During the ensuing argument Sam reveals that he and Ruby have been trying to track down top demon Lilith to kill her.
Like Dean I was excited about the prospect of a story involving strippers - although this being American primetime TV you barely see any flesh, the strippers being more dressed than most runway models - and so was surprised by the rather homoerotic twist in the siren's take on Dean's "dream partner".
And yet, ultimately, it is believable.
Putting the show back on track, this story simultaneously moves forward the emotional sub-plot of the season's overarching story while still presenting the Winchesters - and the audience - with an engaging (if not wholly original for Supernatural) story.

24 Kiefer: Jack Bauer's family mission
The last season saw Kiefer's character facing death after exposure to a bioweapon and daughter Kim (Elisha Cuthbert) - with whom he'd had a tricky relationship - volunteering to try and save his life with a stem cell procedure.
Now Jack hopes to build on Kim's change of heart, with Kiefer saying: "He has the opportunity to start a life with his granddaughter, and through his granddaughter he sees an opportunity of repairing the relationship with his daughter - he is very committed to trying to get back that family that he lost from season one."
Kiefer also spoke about plans for the new 24 film, revealing that he would like to see it shot in Europe.
"We've wanted to film all around Europe," he said. "I think one of the great things about Europe, especially if you're going to do a film where a two-hour film represents a 24-hour day, it's very feasible to get from eastern Europe to London in seven hours and so it doesn't eat up all the time, because if you're doing 24 episodes, and you try to get from Miami to even Washington, that's four episodes on a plane and people stop watching.
"Europe has been something that we've all talked about as an opportunity for the film that just unfortunately has not presented itself for us in the show."

Su Valley Voice – memories and remembrance 09
I saw Talkeetna’s home grown pilot, Jay Hudson, who I had known since childhood, at my father’s memorial service, smiling quietly as my brother, Jon, eulogized our dad. Two days later I watched Jay speak at Mike’s service. It seemed a lot of history for our area to lose all at once, Mike and my dad. But the year had just gotten started, and before it would close I would feel the crush on my heart as I watched one of Jay’s brothers, Chuck, help carry Jay’s coffin out of a local church.
Our area has had other hard years, no doubt. But 2009 was a year of losses: A year when the present seemed to cast a wide net over our town and snatch away core pieces of our living past; A hard year to put into words.
Like Pete Dana, Linda Ramsey passed in July. Here since the early 70s and one of the original “up the tracks” dwellers, Linda would have been among the dwindling numbers of residents who would still remember Pete, father of the once pleasant and much looked forward to Moose Dropping Festival, a man I remember seeing sitting at the piano at the Fairview on a gray quiet winter afternoon when my under-aged eyes looked in through the glass—
We are not there because we are here; somehow we all missed the flight—
He used to sing that. So here we are in beautiful downtown Talkeetna Alaska tonight.
He died in Australia , a long way from Talkeetna.
And Linda died in Anchorage , after illness, but her ashes were returned to the Susitna River with a wake of rose petals, like a bride’s train, following behind.
Then in August Emmila Denny got hit by a train at a crossing in Willow. She was here in the 1960s. She knew a Talkeetna that grows ever smaller in the rearview mirror with each passing day. Mud puddles on Main Street. Winter nights as deep and as still as the bottom of a frozen lake. The people who lived here then: Rocky Cummins. Jim Beaver. Don Sheldon. Ray Genet. And Mike Fischer—Emmila sang at his service.
For a brief time in late 2008 Emmila helped take care of my dad. When she’d leave him she’d say, I love you, you know that.
When Jay Hudson would say hi to me, he would always say my name. Always. Hello, Sarah. And then a smile.
I think of all the bits and pieces we collect from the people we share life with, like a bucket of pebbles off a vast beach, and I think how lucky, how very lucky that we live in a place where we can fill our buckets with these pebbles, that a conversation in front of a post office can turn into a precious gem, that the memory of a young blond pilot with flight goggles too big for his face can live on even after he’s gone, how lucky.
But the price for that is the weight a year like 2009 can have on the heart, like a steady snow that keeps building, a general kind of snow like what James Joyce wrote about in his story, “The Dead,” a snow that falls on the graveyard where Emmila and Jay now rest, that falls on the river where Linda’s ashes were joined with the water, that falls on the cabin where my father’s ashes wait a final resting place. A snow that falls on all the living and the dead. Falling faintly and faintly falling. And this last year, snow was general all over Talkeetna. Indeed.

InTylerWeTrust82 Casts Green Lantern And The Justice League
Evangeline Lilly as Carol Ferris/Star Sapphire. I know she isn’t one of the finalists to play Carol, but she still would be my top choice for the role. Watch Lost and tell me she wouldn’t be a great Carol. Lilly has spunk, strength, intelligence, wit, and puts up a tough exterior to conceal inner conflict (especially in Season 1). That’s vintage Carol Ferris right there. I can also picture her as having excellent chemistry with Reynolds as Hal. However, if I had to go with one of the 5 actresses who are the finalists for this role, I’d go with Keri Russel (used to prefer Eva Green, but changed my mind).

Jared Padalecki & Jensen Ackles Are NOT Doing the Simpsons
Yesterday, I posted a short, funny (or so I thought) piece about what would be on TV in the year 2025. I figured instead of looking back as most people do this time of year, I’d look into the future. I used my CRYSTAL BALL to see CSI: Mars, a 5-year old Doctor Who and Jensen and Jared on the Simpsons (NOT!).
Several people chose to take only the line about the boys and republish it on Twitter, sans the whole “Crystal Ball 2025 TV season” part and it went wild from there. Anyone who read the WHOLE article understood the context. Unfortunately, as it made its way around the internet, that context was lost.
It was a joke – Jensen and Jared are not going to be on The Simpsons.
I guess going forward, I should refrain from creative posting and stick to delivering nothing but facts – or maybe people just need to not believe everything they read until they have all the facts.
So my apologies to Jensen, Jared, their reps and the people at Warner Brothers who had to spend time unraveling this silly mess. And to the folks at The Simpsons – if you’d like to get me out of this jam by actually hiring the boys to voice an episode – I’d be ever grateful.

News roundup: Haiti telethon set for Jan. 22, 'Dollhouse' bumped, 3 'Supernatural' clips
* The Haiti telethon will pre-empt the series finale of "Dollhouse," which will now air Jan. 29 at 7 p.m. ET. I've seen the finale and posted a few tweets about it. It's bittersweet and wonderful, and like all Joss Whedon finales, it made me lament the fact that the show is going away even more. Fran Kranz is phenomenal in the finale. I'll post more about "Epitaph Two: Return" after it airs.
* In lighter news, "Supernatural" returns Jan. 21 with "Sam, Interrupted." Creator Eric Kripke gave an interview to USA Today about the show and a possible sixth season; that piece is here. A slightly longer version of the clip that accompanied the USA Today article is below. I'll resume my weekly "Supernatural" posts next week. I'm looking forward to that!
* UPDATE: I've added two more brand-new clip to this post, and also episode descriptions of the next three "Supernatural" episodes, "Sam, Interrupted," "Swap Meat" and "Back to the Future II."

Are Big Name Bookings Conan O’Briens Last Swan Song?
NBC won’t actually say O’Brien will be done after next week, after all the shows hiatus was already scheduled for the Winter Olympics, however other TV personalities are all but bidding adieu to O’Brien. ESPN host Bill Simmons tweeted this message:
“FYI: Next week is Conan’s final week hosting the Tonight Show,” adding “His staff is trying to book big guests so he goes out with a bang. It’s true.”
It’s still hard to determine if that rumor and others are true, as NBC Officials have denied a report by TMZ that Jay Leno has signed a new contract with NBC, giving him back the Tonight Show at 11:35pm.
It’s also being reported that to show off his ability to bring in big names O’Brien will have superstar Tom Hanks on his show, while his “wishlist” includes Howard Stern, a man always capable of grabbing headlines and top ratings and an open hater of Jay Leno.
Now if only NBC would realize that their future, that would be the younger audiences, are fleeing away from TV to other more sophisticated sources (internet streaming, digital download), think Leno is old news, perhaps they would make the smart decision and stay with the host who could help draw in younger, more internet savvy viewers to other mediums down the road. Leno is lame, he’s been lame for years, NBC is going back to whats safe and it’s going to knock them on their asses in the coming years.

We're saving our pennies to go see 'Legion.' What is on your Must List this week?
There are very few movies that I’ll actually shell out money to go see. But come hell or army of angels to destroy Earth (or worst, should I NOT find a gentleman suitor to pay for my ticket), I’m still going to see Legion in ten days.
The (rated M) trailer for the supernatural flick had my full attention from the moment is started playing eerie ice cream truck music, but sealed the deal with an apocalyptic storyline and a solid cast: Paul Bettany as Archangel Michael, Supernatural alum Adrianne Palicki as a knocked up waitress carrying the messiah, and Dennis Quaid as a small-town diner owner – but more importantly in his continuing role as my eternal older-man crush.
I am forgoing the purchase of my daily Sprite Zero from today until Jan. 22 so that I have enough money for a ticket. Legion better be worth it.
Now your turn. What’s on your Must List? Is there anything coming up that you hope is worth your money (and time!)? What are your hopes for upcoming books/TV/movies/etc? Your pick could end up in the magazine, so defend it well!

Kiefer Sutherland Wears a Dress on David Letterman
I’m not sure what was more hilarious, Letterman’s reaction to Sutherland’s dress or the actor’s inability to sit in it properly. He fidgeted the entire segment and made light of his unfortunate situation. It turns out that he made a bet with a friend that the New England Patriots would win a football game, and the wager was that if they lost Sutherland had to appear on Letterman in a dress. Obviously he got the short end of the stick, but being a man of his word like his alter ego Jack Bauer, he went through with it. It was embarrassing to see, but at least he did it on his terms. He sported some hairy legs and a pair of black combat boots to top it all off.
Letterman even joked that Kiefer should have gone all the way with heels and makeup, but the actor wasn’t having any of that. He didn’t really get to plug the season 8 premiere of “24” like he wanted to because the dress was so distracting. In case you missed it, the new season starts on Sunday, January 17th on Fox. There’s been a lot of talk regarding whether or not the actor will return for a ninth season of the show, and if you’re interested in finding out what he had to say visit, Will Kiefer Return for 24, Season 9?
