Udupi: You may have seen some committed, no-nonsense kind of dog-lovers. You forget to notice that when the owners happen to carry their pets, they are not just dogs for them; they are more than their own children.
You may have observed the logo of Syndicate Bank which vouches for ‘dog-like loyalty’. It may sound strange but it often happens that when the parents are deprived of the love of their children, the place is taken by the canines. The dogs can also in course of time sense the owners’ thoughts and attitude and can learn to respond in the same language that the owners may try to teach them.
They carry home newspaper in the morning holding it with their teeth, keep the towel ready for bath, keep the mobile or key of the vehicle ready. They meditate with the owner when he meditates, listen to harmonium with all their ears when their owner plays harmonium.
Basavaraj and his wife Parvati hail from Nittur in Udupi. They earn a living by selling bangles on Car Street in Udupi. When Car Street was declared a vehicle-free and trade-free zone, the couple had to roam far and wide, to places near and far, where annual fairs, festivals, car festivals and the like, with a lot of hardships involved.
Basavaraj and Parvati, despite 27 years of marriage, did not beget any children. They are from Hassan and had come to the land of Shri Krishna 35 years before. Despite their meagre income of, say, Rs 200-300 earned during ‘jatre’ or ‘habba’, they would prefer to eat less, and, instead, feed their 2 and 3 Pomeranian dogs more. They do so because the dogs are more than dogs, more or less akin to their children.
This Pomeranian dog couple has a baby without its forelegs, but the handicap did not make the pup less lovable to the middle-aged Basavaraj-Parvati couple. They shower all their love on the pup just as their own baby!
The pups never eat for themselves, they need to be fed by Parvati, almost a mother to them! When there was no food, they starved for 3 days uncomplainingly. But finally they ate only when fed by their ‘mother’ i.e. Parvati. Such is their mutual attachment. Something unbelievable!
The childless couple showered all their human love on a 20-day-old Pomeranian and another male Pomeranian pup. They render all the tender care that parents give their children, starting from bathing and washing them, feeding, putting them to sleep etc. The dogs too respond so much to their human love that both the dogs forgot their canine behaviour and mended their ways. Today nobody can perhaps dare call them dogs? simply because they are more than human in behaviour in more than 100 ways.
Once it so happened that Parvati had gone selling her bangles in a fair in a distant town and could not reach home for 3 days. The dogs did not touch any food offered by Basavaraj in his wife?s absence. They ate only after their ‘mother’ Parvati returned from her bangle-selling mission after 3 days. That too when she fed the puppies with her own hands in the likeness of her children being fed!
When love cuts their purse…
The Basavaraj-Paravati couple has to keep aside Rs 60-70 in a day for their dogs, nay, children towards food such as biscuits, milk and the like. In between Basavaraj had a light heart attack twice and is bedridden. Now Parvati?s responsibilities are twofold that she has to tend the dogs as well as themselves in addition to her aged mother-in-law.
Furthermore the Basavaraj-Parvati couple feeds the dogs first and decides to eat or starve. They would never get the dogs to starve, and instead they would starve themselves. How can they let their dogs starve, when they treat them like their own children?

I’m still new to UE4, but have many years working with 3d applications and have had some time with Unity. I’ve been trying to figure out how to set up collisions without needing to rebuild a low polly version over everything. There must be a simple solution for this. I am mostly concerned with interior scenes, like rooms with doorframes, stairs and such.
I’ve search and found very little useful information.
Mostly people building clunky boxed versions and it’s just too much manual work. Unity had a quite a good auto collision method, but was surprised how bad it was here. Doors become impassable and most objects become collideable blobs. I’m I missing something? Are there any good scripts.
In short I’m looking for a good workflow from arch viz moddles from 3ds max without huge amounts of hands on.

From ABOUT.COM: STOCKS
If there is one number that people look at than more any other it is the Price to Earnings Ratio (P/E). The P/E is one of those numbers that investors throw around with great authority as if it told the whole story. Of course, it doesn’t tell the whole story (if it did, we wouldn’t need all the other numbers.)
The P/E looks at the relationship between the stock price and the company’s earnings. The P/E is the most popular metric of stock analysis, although it is far from the only one you should consider.
You calculate the P/E by taking the share price and dividing it by the company’s EPS
P/E = Stock Price / EPS
For example, a company with a share price of $40 and an EPS of 8 would have a P/E of 5 ($40 / 8 = 5).
What does P/E tell you? The P/E gives you an idea of what the market is willing to pay for the company’s earnings. The higher the P/E the more the market is willing to pay for the company’s earnings. Some investors read a high P/E as an overpriced stock and that may be the case, however it can also indicate the market has high hopes for this stock’s future and has bid up the price.
Conversely, a low P/E may indicate a “vote of no confidence” by the market or it could mean this is a sleeper that the market has overlooked. Known as value stocks, many investors made their fortunes spotting these “diamonds in the rough” before the rest of the market discovered their true worth.
What is the “right” P/E? There is no correct answer to this question, because part of the answer depends on your willingness to pay for earnings. The more you are willing to pay, which means you believe the company has good long term prospects over and above its current position, the higher the “right” P/E is for that particular stock in your decision-making process. Another investor may not see the same value and think your “right” P/E is all wrong.
For the more visual learners such as myself, below is a hot european guy giving a good explanation of P/E and it's relevance in considering a stock.
Hot european guy (H/E/G) uses the future earnings method to determine the P/E, where the most common (or so I have read) method is to use the "trailing" or last 12 months earnings instead.
In this video the guy with the great hair is discussing P/E and it's relation to actual earnings.
And in this video, the guy who says uummm a lot presents some interesting facts and perspective about the current S&P P/E. He says CAUTION AHEAD!
P.S. I originally put this post together for the blog I created for the women's investment club I belong to. We call ourselves the M.O.N.I. club.

That's it folks, we've not only stepped over the threshold of super clean high iso, we've flown over it. The sony FS cameras and the canon C cameras are the first cameras to be able to expose most scenes with practical lights(existing lights) And because of this, im hearing a disturbing sentence coming out of some filmmakers' mouths: "I don't need lights!"
Let's back up to the 5D Mark 2
The 5D2 heralded in not only the HD DSLR era, it also opened up the low light era, when everyone say Vincent Lafloret's "Reverie" film with shots up to iso3200 that looked markedly better than the high DB settings our our EX1's(an already great low light performer), it was an eye opener to the future of low light. And thus begun this trend of shooters foregoing lights.
The human eye gets PWN'd
When you get into the iso 1600-3200 usable range, adding a superspeed lens of F1.8 or faster basically starts seeing more than the human eye can. It's a cool thing to see for the first time! This also fed into some people's obsession with shallow depth of field, which is another story all of its own. Suffice it to say, people's association of shallow depth of field with the "film" look, went completely overboard along with low light shooting. I'll explain my un certified psycho-analaysis of why...
You have eager filmmakers doing they best they can with what they have, some taught by less than adequate "film schools". They have two basic concepts of how to make video look more like film: 24P, and shallow depth of field. Well, we got 24P back even in the SD days, and the shallow DOF really kick started with the 35mm adapters. In case you forgot about those, they were those devices you could attach to the front of your camera(HD DSLRs weren't around yet, so most cameras had a fixed lens) and then attach a nikon, canon, or other DSLR lens and get that shallow DOF, with the lovely tradoffs of light loss and just about doubling your camera's size and weight.
DOF adapters were all the rage, until the 5D slammed hard. Now you could get the shallow DOF, and shoot in practically no light! I think by this time, filmmakers were so ingrained with shallow DOF being vital to their film's 'film' look that superspeed lenses shot wide open was thought to be the mecca of filmmaking. The side affect of shooting wide open on superspeeds, is of course a ton of light exposure. Combine that with seeing very little grain when cranking up the iso, and someone with less then adequate training certainly could have the thought: "wow, i've got exposure.... i don't need lights!"

The question of how higher education has changed my life is a question of not only cause and effect, but one of light versus darkness. I see ignorance as a state of darkness and education the illuminating light that so often eliminates it. My relationship with higher education has been an example of this battle; however, to truly appreciate the cure one must first understand the disease.
The worse part of living in a state of ignorance is not knowing about it. That was the situation I found myself in for many years, oblivious of the fact that I did not know that I did not know! As a result, I applied criminal solutions to my problems, reacted aggressively when confronted by others, and often gave up on myself when challenged beyond my comfort zone. Eventually, at the tender age of twenty-one, my self-defeating behaviors restricted me to a concrete cell for the following fifteen years.
I would like to say that receiving such an unbearable sentence served as a catalyst for change in my life, but I cannot. Like any pattern of behavior that takes shape over the course of many years, I continued to break the law despite the contradictory evidence against it around me. It’s important to understand that at the time I did not see my behavior in a negative light. This was mainly because I always shifted responsibility of my actions to others. As a result, I felt justified in my actions and that only served to perpetuate my behavior.
It wasn’t until I tried to do the right thing for the wrong reason that I received the right results. I signed up for the prison’s college program with the idea of spinning a positive light on all the negative behavior I was involved in. Instantly, I knew that I was in a different arena, but instead of quitting like my past indicated, the thought of leaving prison early motivated me enough to continue in the program. Before going to college I was not interested in education. School was were the squares and smart white people went to become lawyers and doctors. I never completed the tenth grade and my General Equivalency Diploma was the result of paying someone ten packs of unfiltered Marlboro Reds to pass the exam for me.
In prison, having reading material is the armor that protects you from the second-by-second attack on your soul that constant repetition can sometimes be. College gave me more protection from monotony that I could have ever hoped for. Within the first semester I traveled the world from inside my cell. I traveled alongside Martin Luther King Jr.; cried with Holocaust survivors; argued the philosophy of laissez-faire with Adam Smith, and even visited the Leaning Tower of Pisa. I also learned the meaning of new words and terms like multi-generational poverty, culture of violence, and synapse. Before college, I thought serendipity was a dancer at a gentlemen’s club, and a dichotomy was a type of surgery.
After some time, the funniest thing happened…I began to pull my pants up! I started to see opportunities where before I only saw challenges; stepping stones where before only obstacles were in sight; and college where before I only saw prison. I guess you can say that my paradigm shifted. The more I learned, the more I realized that I needed to learn more. The more I began to know, the more I came to the conclusion that I did not know anything at all. More importantly I began to see my behavior through the lens of responsible people, and slowly I became uncomfortable with some of the irresponsible behavior that I once felt so at home with. I could no longer use the N-word because I was conscious of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. I refused to continue smoking marijuana because I now knew the effects on the brain, and above all else, I felt compelled to break the cycle of ignorance and poverty within my family by being the first to complete a college education!
It has been four years now since the sound of steel gates slamming shut has filled my ears every night before I fell asleep. Today, I am the Director of U.S. Prison Program for the National Religious Campaign Against Torture, a membership organization committed to ending U.S.-sponsored torture, and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. I add value, insight, and leadership to existing campaign efforts working to end the torture of solitary confinement, while building the capacity of religious leaders and directly impacted communities to engage in education and advocacy in the United States.
Sometimes, when I visit people prior to their release, they stare down at the handcuffs restricting the movement of their wrists and say, “You have no idea what it is to be in this hell hole.” I usually don’t self-disclose my past to people I work with, but the hopelessness in their eyes, the frustration painted on their faces, and the smell of their fear motivates me to tell them my story. As I share my past experiences with them I can see their eyes begin to widen with hope, their shoulders raise in confidence, and their smiles shine with joy as they come to realize that I am a living example of the past not dictating the future. An example that nothing is impossible.
So when I’m asked by anyone, how has higher education helped change my life? I can sincerely say that it has changed my life by changing who I am. I could not be a better father, employee, son, volunteer, advocate, or student, if I had not become a better person first. And as a result of higher education changing my life, it has also changed the life of the people who I come I contact with.

Chandigarh: Taking a serious view of the reported merciless assault on four Sikh men in Ajmer, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Friday spoke to his Rajasthan counterpart, Vasundhara Raje Scindia, to seek her personal intervention in ensuring a thorough probe into the incident of mob violence and stringent action against the constable alleged to have abetted the crowd.
Captain Amarinder also urged Rajasthan Chief Minister to direct the police to take immediate steps to prevent recurrence of such incidents, which could escalate if not curbed through strong and prompt action by the police. Describing the reported incident as unfortunate, Captain Amarinder said the Rajasthan government needed to fix culpability and ensure that the culprits are duly punished.
The Chief Minister expressed serious concern over the fact that the incident, which reportedly took place in April, was being sought to be give a communal hue, as per media reports. He expressed shock at the fact that the incident did not come to the notice of the local police till a video surfaced on the social media showing the mob drag the four Sikhs out of a Bolera SUV and thrashing them mercilessly.
Captain Amarinder further said he was shocked at reports of a constable, who reached the spot, not only failing to save the victims but in fact found instigating the crowd to “teach them a lesson.” He urged the Rajasthan Chief Minister to ensure an inquiry into the charges and serious action against the cop if found guilty.
Though the Rajasthan State Minorities Commission has reportedly taken cognizance of the April 24 video and sought a report on action taken by the Ajmer police, a strong signal needed to be sent to the perpetrators of the violence by the political dispensation of the state, said Captain Amarinder.
The fact that the four victims were sevadars from an Alwar gurudwara and had stopped at Rajgarh village for langar and alms makes the whole affair even more condemnable, the Punjab Chief Minister said, adding that such intolerance had no place in a civilized society and any attempt to create communal strife should be nipped in the bud.

The latency model is an analytical model for describing the behavior of nonlinear viscoelastic contact interface in robotic grasping and manipulation. The latency model is based on experimental observation of viscoelastic materials which exhibit the behavior of both elastic and temporal responses when subject to external force or displacement. It is postulated that such materials display latency in response of external influence by the rearrangement of molecules, holes, and structures in order to achieve an equilibrium state corresponding to the instantaneous loading. As a result, we propose that there are temporal latent activities in progress before the material reaches the equilibrium state. In the previous study , the latent activity of strain re-distribution with a prescribed constant displacement was presented using both theoretical modeling and experimental results. In this paper, we build upon this latency model to study the behavior of viscoelastic materials under different loading rates with experimental results. The latency model is employed to explain the behavior of responses of hard and soft viscoelastic materials typically found in robotic contact and grasping.

The show is truly interactive and we involve the guests from the very first song.
PianoFactor certainly know how to get a crowd going! They had the dance floor packed all the way through the evening. Our gusts sang along to all the songs they played - Amazing!
This band were absolutely perfect for our event, our guests danced from beginning to end and since the event our guests have all commented on how amazing PianoFactor were.
The show was amazing, exactly what I envisioned. I danced for 5 hours straight. had to take off my shoes the last 2hrs - I would hire them again in a heartbeat!!! Rock on guys!!!
A true musician and entertainer Carl puts on a show which never fails to captivate even the most musically educated audiences.
Thank you PianoFactor for putting on a fantastic show at our event. Everyone had a great time, and we certainly didn't stop dancing all night!
Boom! First dances done then the crowd went wild and didn't stop until Piano Factor did! Guys the vibe you gave at the event was awesome, everyone came prepared but you got them going and didn't let go.
We would love to provide you with entertainment for your wedding.

"Science Fair" Projects
I have had a number of enquiries about "Science Fair" projects over the years and several students have won prizes. I recently found out that latex baloons (the stretchy kind) are permeable to gas (more so methane) so you should try to use mylar (silver) balloons for gas storage, or a 'floating drum' (as below).
The following is based on my most recent reply (as I keep changing my suggestions as I think of better ways of making a small digester), but I am still happy to answer further e-mail questions.
If you send me pictures and/or comments of your own project I will add them to this page.
Here is a Report by Arindam Mohanta
Here is a Project, that won first prize. The only comment I would make is that calculating the volume of the ballon, using Volume of Shpere = 4/3 Pi r(cubed), would give a better indication of gas production. Well done Adriana! A few people have had problems with latex (stretchy) ballons leaking and I now suggest using "mylar" (silver) balloons, but measuring gas volume may be a challenge.
Nikki Shaw has won some prizes - visit her page.
This Demonstration was not a "Science Fair" project, but shows what can be done quite cheaply.
There are plenty of options for anaerobic digesters as all you need is a gas tight container and some organic waste. I think the simplest method is if you can find two buckets/containers such that one will fit upside down inside the other with some clearance (not that easy to do in spite of the proliferation of plastic containers). The bottom container holds the digesting liquid and the inverted one becomes the gas holder - it may need some guides so it does not topple over as it rises with gas. To avoid the possibility of a gas leak I would use waterproof tape/glue/silicon sealant to hold a plastic tube from the top of the gas space running out through the side of the digester bucket (you will notice a liquid leak!) with enough slack to allow the gas holder to rise (See sketch below, 2004 version, guides not shown - a challenge for you!).
I hope by this stage you have read and understood the safety page http://www.adelaide.edu.au/biogas/safety/index.html although it is written with larger digesters in mind - for example you do not have to have the flame 20 m from the digester or have a flame trap, as in the most unlikely event of the flame burning back to the digester you will not get much more of a bang than when lighting a gas stove with such a small digester!
Can you get some cow manure (make sure NO antibiotics are given to the animals) - enough to quarter fill the digester container? I have found that dog manure does not work on its own, like poultry manure or food waste you may still need some cow manure as a starter. Fill the rest of the digester with water and mix it up, then place the gas holder on top and let all the air out (some weight on the gas holder will help). The digester needs to be placed somewhere warm (15-20 C or 60-70 F) and gas production should start in a day or so. Put the free end of the plastic tube in a jar of water to seal it. If you are in a hurry 35-40 C (95-105 F) will give quicker response. Let the gas holder fill up (the volume will probably be a bit less than the volume of liquid, I hope) and discard this gas, as the first gas will be mainly carbon dioxide (CO2) and won't burn (it will actually extinguish a match, but don't allow smoking as there may be some methane present - all being well).
To make a burner you need a small hole for the jet into a larger tube as a mixer, a bit like a bunsen burner as used in chemistry labs, but I do not worry about the air holes. I use a 1 mm hole into 12 mm tube, so a 1/16" jet opening into 1/2" tube (this should be metal) would work well with enough weight to make about 25 mm (1") water pressure - more weight may blow out the flame and less may not give enough gas. About 20 litres (I think that's 5 gallons) of gas will normally boil a cup of water.
You may find that you get a bluish flame when the match is held there, but the flame goes out without the match - that means you have less than 50% methane in the biogas or the pressure is too high, just remove some weight and if the flame still goes out burn off the gas and try again in a few days. As methane is a greenhouse gas try to burn off the excess gas rather than just letting it escape to atmosphere.
You could measure how high the gas container rises each day to record the volume of gas generated and once everything is going well (maybe a week or so) add some more waste (no more than 1/20 of the liquid volume each day) to feed the digester - the overflow is good organic manure.
Here is my 2005 version, made out of soft drink bottles and containing the smell better!
It is a bit hard to see, but the smaller plastic jar inverted in the right hand container is for gas storage and the water level in the inner jar is slightly below that in the outer container. If you look carefully you will see the tube connecting the digester head space (left container) to the gas storage headspace (right container). The tube coming off to the front is the gas outlet. As gas is generated the inverted jar will rise.
The Syringe Protocol provides a cheap method of finding the biogas composition. More than 50% Methane will burn with a stable flame.
E-mail me if you would like a copy of an Excel spreadsheet model of a Continuous Flow Stirred Tank digester that may be useful in your project.

Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium announced that its new 35,000-square-foot Pacific Seas Aquarium will open to the public on September 7.
The space, which was designed by EHDD — the same architects behind the Monterey Bay Aquarium — will include two massive tank exhibits. Baja Bay, a 280,000-gallon warm-water exhibit, will house scalloped hammerhead sharks, green sea turtles, and spotted eagle rays. Northwest Waters, a 100,000-gallon exhibit, will be home to local marine species. Also featured in the new aquarium is a Tidal Touch Zone, an up-close experience with marine creatures, and a Tidal Surge, a 4,500-gallon outdoor exhibit full of sea stars, anemones, and urchins.
Additional animals in the Pacific Seas Aquarium will include jellies, Japanese spider crabs, schooling fish, and a giant Pacific octopus.
At a cost of approximately $50 million, the new aquarium is the largest capital project in the zoo’s history. It was largely financed by a $198 million Metro Parks Tacoma bond issue that voters approved in 2014.
Even after the opening event, the zoo will continue to add finishing touches and introduce new animals to the aquarium through the end of the year. The zoo’s old aquarium, called the North Pacific Aquarium, will serve as a temporary home for animals until they can be moved. According to a statement, the zoo is still considering potential short- and long-term options for the iconic round building.

The Moffat County School Board president said today that Wednesday's court ruling declaring it unconstitutional for school children to recite the Pledge of Allegiance won't change anything for the district.
The school district does currently require that the Pledge of Allegiance be recited each day. However, it does not require students and teachers to participate.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco made the ruling.
"At this time, in my mind, it's not going to change anything," Moffat County Board of Education President Phil Hastings said this morning.
"We're just going to have to wait and see how this pans out."
Hastings said the ruling would be considered by the school board.
"I don't know how this will affect the rest of the country," Hastings said. "Obviously, it is something we're going to have to discuss at the next school board meeting."
The next school board meeting is scheduled for July 15.
"Who's to say what the effect will be," Moffat County Board of Education Secretary Steve Hafey said. "I believe it will be appealed and most likely overturned at higher court."
Hafey said the school district currently has no intention of altering the mandated school district policy, which requires the recitation of the Pledge.
"We're not going to do anything at this point," Hafey said. "We'll keep doing exactly what we're doing. We've had no request to change policy."
At the heart of the ruling is the phrase "One nation under God."
The 9th Circuit Court ruled that leading children in the pledge is objectionable since the phrase is not "neutral with respect to religion."
The ruling comes after the Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB) passed a December resolution encouraging school districts to begin the day with Pledge of Allegiance.
Moffat County CASB representative John Kinkaid initiated the resolution.
The resolution also encouraged schools to display significant United States, and state historical documents.
Colorado schools, however, are not forced to participate in the terms of the resolution, only encouraged.


Optics Camp Lets Students 'Listen to the Light'
Optics professor Franko Kueppers (far right) hosts "Listen to the Light,” a workshop on optical free-space transmission, at Arizona Youth University Optics Camp, held earlier this month at the University of Arizona’s College of Optical Sciences. The
students used lasers and photo diodes to transmit music from their MP3 players across an optical table and along hallways across the building, using mirrors to set up an optical transmission path.
At optics camp, students in grades 9-12 who are interested in science, math and high-tech gadgets become optics researchers -- alongside College of Optical Sciences professors, scientists and students -- by participating in hands-on optics experiments that illustrate the basics of optics light sources, vision, adaptive eyewear, lasers, art, organic LEDs, sound, photography, communication, medical optics and holograms.

The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...

Despite what some may think or try to claim, rock music is alive and well. Actually, I would say it’s thriving. Though the year isn’t over just yet, it’s already been good to hard rock fans. In fact, 2018 has given music fans some of the best music of the year, and the hard rock genre is fortunate enough to be the “home” for those albums and bands. This year fans were treated to highly anticipated new albums from successful hard rockers Shinedown, Breaking Benjamin, and Three Days Grace while New Zealand natives Like a Storm returned with a killer follow-up album after their 2015 debut, only adding to their already established fan base. Female-fronted and fan favorite hard rock band, Halestorm released their fourth full-length album in 2018, and veteran rockers Godsmack released their first album in eight years, knocking both fans and critics on their asses because of how phenomenal a release it really was. I’m extremely confident when I say that both Godsmack’s When Legends Rise and Halestorm’s Vicious should be considered two of the Top 5 Best Albums of 2018, and without doubt the Best 2 Hard Rock Albums of 2018. So even though it’s still a bit early for our official end of the year Best Music Releases list, I wanted to share with you, our awesome readers, what I think are the 10 Best Hard Rock Albums of 2018.
10)Of Mice & Men – Defy
9)Five Finger Death Punch – And Justice for None
8)Pop Evil – Pop Evil
7)Escape the Fate – I Am Human
6)Three Days Grace – Outsider
5)Breaking Benjamin – Ember
4)Like a Storm – Catacombs
3)Shinedown – Attention! Attention!
2)Halestorm – Vicious
1)Godsmack – When Legends Rise
There you have it! This is the official list of what I think are the 10 best hard rock albums of 2018. Agree or disagree? Let us know what you think of these albums and what albums would have made your list.

In honor of Elizabeth Reaser, a.k.a. Mama Cullen, celebrating her 35th birthday today (yes, way too young and gorgeous to pass for a mother of teenagers, we know), you should probably watch our fun video from this weekend's "Eclipse" interview bonanza that features Peter Facinelli and Nikki Reed paying Elizabeth a bunch of compliments.
Oh yeah, they also talk about the six weeks of fight training they all went through before "Eclipse," but we think it's much more important to pay a Birthday Girl some compliments on her special day. Especially since Elizabeth told MTV News that she never intended to do an action movie.
"Elizabeth is slightly more delicate than I am, so I think she was a bit more methodical [in her training]," Nikki said. "As she should be, because I was kind of all over the place and maniacal with all the fight training."
Peter seemed to envy Elizabeth's poise during the fight scenes. "She looks so graceful when she does it," said her onscreen hubby. "It's like 'The Matrix.'"
"Yeah, she does," Nikki agreed. "I looked like a mess, but I thoroughly enjoyed it."
Not one to take praise for granted, Elizabeth offered Nikki a compliment of her own. "No, you don't look like a mess," she told her costar. "No, you look gangsta."
Are you excited to see the fight scenes in "Eclipse?" Got any birthday wishes for Elizabeth? Share them in the comments below.
