All should be well - but it isn’t. Big secrets in Jillian’s family surface, Jillian’s boyfriend ditches her, and her dad wants proof he’s her dad. Like she’d make this up?

What exactly is a best boy or a grip? As the credits roll at the end of every film, listing the names of all the individuals who contributed to its making, many viewers have no idea what these people do. This book reveals the mystery behind the job titles as crew members tell their stories, explaining what their jobs are, how they came to have a career in filmmaking and their many experiences both serious and comic.

Examples of individuals interviewed include: an assistant director, a best boy, a boom operator, a foley artist, a grip, a set decorator, a storyboard artist and a wrangler.

This study explores if in university housing a correlation exists between the proximity of the opposite sex and student co-curricular involvement and/or academic achievement. Using a quantitative approach, students living in Carroll University housing were surveyed about their current housing type, academic achievement and co-curricular involvement. Findings suggest that there is no correlation between opposite-sex proximity in housing and co-curricular involvement or academic performance.

Do you live with a controlling partner? Someone who always wants to make the decisions, about where you go on holiday or what you spend on clothes? Someone who needs to know where you are or what you are doing? Or maybe you work with a control freak? Even though you''ve got the talent, this person takes all the limelight and can''t let go enough to let you get on with your job. Control freaks come in all shapes and sizes. Often they happen to be the people we love. Your friends and family may say ''Why don''t you just leave them?'', but it''s not always that simple, especially if you still love the person and have good times together. This book looks at how and why controlling patterns develop in relationships, and what you can do about it if you''re in the middle of one. Topics include: why people become control freaks; what it''s really like to live or work with one; understanding how a control freak ticks; how to live with a control freak - without losing yourself in the process; living with a controlling partner, boss, colleague or child; and, what to do if you''re the control freak - a comprehensive self-help section.

Fog has been shown to be an important water source for coastal vegetation, but the extent to which fog influences soil processes and hydrology has not been well studied. Precipitation inputs from fog and rain, along with soil moisture and throughfall under Bishop pine (Pinus muricata) canopy, were measured at two site pairs on Santa Cruz Island, California. Fog drip is an integral part of the hydrologic cycle in the moisture-limited environments of Santa Cruz Island, and contributes moisture to the soil profile that is then available for plant uptake or soil decomposition and weathering processes while temperatures are highest. In a litterbag decomposition experiment performed over 3 years, decomposition rates of both pine and grass litter were highest at the pine sites, suggesting that moisture is a limiting factor in this environment. On a total profile basis, total pedogenic iron (Fed̳) and Feo̳/Fed̳ ratios also indicate that the pine soils are more weathered than the grass soils, and that the schist soils may be more weathered that the rhyolitic tuff/breccia soils. The apparent ratio of kaolinite to smectite, based on XRD peak intensity, is highest in the upper horizons and decreases with depth. Fog events occurred dominantly during summer months, and were generally enriched in isotope values compared to rain events, which occurred mainly during winter months. Isotope values of soil solution indicate that grass sites are influenced by evaporation, while pine canopy sites show minimal evaporation effects. The [delta]D values of the phyllosilicates range from -64.3 to -94.3, and [delta]18O values range from 19.8 to 25.1. The estimated temperatures of crystallization range from 7 to 22 °C, with grass sites showing a greater difference in temperature than pine sites between surface and subsurface horizons. It is possible that fog inputs contribute to the lower estimated surface temperatures of crystallization at the pine sites; however, estimates of meteoric water composition in equilibrium with phyllosilicates indicate consistently depleted surface water isotope values compared to subsurface values at all sites.

Barbara Baker''s big, boisterous family of bears is back in a new easy-to-read book about a special time: evening. The busy Saturday has made the two big bears and the four children tired.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s first love relives their six-year journey during his explosive first years in America. While she watches Arnold surpass his dreams, Barbara learns to transform hers -- from desiring what cannot be to cherishing what is so. As a woman who spends her adult life trying to get out from under Arnold’s shadow, Barbara Baker learns about the shifting direction of life''s journey. She hopes for normalcy during and after living with her stratospherically successful Austrian Oak bodybuilder. Barbara finds life anything but normal, however. Within Arnold and Me, she strips down this conjoined twosome as they launch their adult lives into polar opposite journeys. After their breakup, Arnold transcends the role of Hercules to become the Governator. He marries once and produces four children; to the contrary, the English Professor says “I do” four times, yet bears no offspring. Along with vintage photos and firsthand dialogue, the book’s resolution forces their singular lives to merge at a satisfying junction. Despite their divergent paths, both Arnold and Barbara demonstrate that achieving one’s dream demands a relentlessly flexible spirit. Barbara has skillfully rounded Arnold’s corners by offering heartfelt nuances about this man who marked her for life. The author’s enlightened voice also resonates with those who face relationship challenges over personal identity and fulfillment. She not only lifts herself into higher consciousness, but also the willing reader. Her journey has allowed her to find life’s richness through accepting not only Arnold’s daunting shadow, but also her own. This woman sings with energy, incrementally illuminating the rich lives of two ex-lovers within a beautifully developed, fast-paced story. Her readers continue to travel in their minds, breathing in the life of Arnold and Barbara long after the last word has been read.
