Despite the fact my snobbish club's title is currently held by an extremely misguided slacker I have found that he can more than enough to stifle my naysayer in my ear. He is therefore my prime candidate for the naysayer award. The above mentioned slacker would be a happy camper. The above mentioned slacker is not the only one in town - well, if you're a slacker and you're in a bad mood, and have a good ol' time - that's a whole different story. The above-mentioned slacker is currently being held by a slacker who is in a bad mood. He is therefore prime candidate for my good old time slackerof the year award.

What is the most mysterious place on earth?
Antarctica is the most mysterious continent on Earth.
What is it that makes this place so interesting? It is unlike any other place on Earth.
It is remote, isolated, and extremely difficult to visit. This site has more to it than meets your eye.
Some of the most bizarre wildlife species can also be found in this natural wonder.
Let's find out how this mysterious destination became so famous.
Antarctica: The South Pole
It is not known why Antarctica was called Antarctica. Others believe it means "land with ice". Some believe it means "land of ice". Others believe it is Greek mythology.
Antarktis, the Greek name for the island on which Zeus' twin brothers were conceived, was used in ancient Greece. According to one source, one of the twins was conceived in winter. Thus, the term antarctic.
Others believe that the name comes from the Greek words anti meaning against and tropos meaning to turn. This would be land turned away form the sun.
Whatever the reason, Antarctica has always held a special fascination for people.
It is the highest, coldest, windiest, dryest, and most populated continent. It is too cold for trees, plants and animals.
Yet, this frozen wasteland is alive.
It is home to approximately 90 percent of all life on Earth. It is home to approximately half of all world's animal and plant species.
What is the secret to Antarctica's unique environment? Here, water freezes in ice rather that vaporizing into the atmosphere.
This creates large masses of ice that float above the ground.
These glaciers cover more than 80% of the continent. These glaciers are getting larger each year.
The Antarctic Ice Sheet has grown 60 feet in the past 60 years.
The sea level could rise to 200 feet if the melting continues. This could lead to widespread flooding.
However, not all scientists believe this to be bad news. Some scientists suggest that global warming could actually be good for us. They claim that the melting of ice sheets could accelerate as temperatures rise. This would lead to flooding that removes tons of toxic chemicals and soil from our bodies.
Others warn that this theory sounds like something out of a science-fiction movie.
Why do actors get blacklisted?
An actor is more likely to get rejected than a writer. Actors are likely to be rejected often. It doesn't matter, because you will eventually find someone you love.
Actors are often very talented and can make a living anywhere. Most actors don't care about making money. Actors enjoy acting and telling stories. You'll be an actor if you love acting.
Sometimes you may be told by the audition panel that you are too young, too old, or wrong for the role. Or, you could lose out on a role in a movie. It happens all the time.
However, once you have been cast, it is possible to face criticism. Many people will tell you you look horrible or that you shouldn't be wearing make-up. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes, you might be criticised for playing a role that isn’t authentic or realistic. Perhaps you're a gay man who everyone believes is straight. Maybe you are a woman who is tough but cries often.
Sometimes, they ask you to change your voice. Sometimes they ask you to sound like a guy or a girl. Most of the time, however, they want to hear better.
It is best to ignore these criticisms. Actors sometimes feel like failures when they hear they were wrong. But the truth is that they haven't done anything wrong.
They weren't born with a talent that made them famous. Sometimes, no matter what they do, they just don't fit the bill.
There are many reasons an actor might be blacklisted. Some people don't like actors. Others think that actors are lazy. Others still believe that actors cheat.
It doesn't matter what reason it may be, you won’t be banned if you keep trying. There are many opportunities for you to find your role.
Keep trying and you will eventually succeed.

Hollywood scandals that shocked the globe
Nothing is more shocking that seeing someone be famous for their wrong reasons. However, there is nothing worse than watching them fall from grace.
The best part is seeing how an industry reacts to its mistakes. Many celebrities have used alcohol and drugs in excess. Some even died young because of it.
But, the worst part? When those stars openly discuss their issues and are ignored by everyone. This is where we ended up last week.
Heath Ledger lost his long and successful career. He succumbed after taking too many prescription medications. After a brief struggle with death, he died.
His family and his friends struggled with the news and the media went after him.
Heath was once considered to be one of today's most talented actors. Two Academy Awards nominations were given to Heath for his role in Brokeback Mountain.
Heath not only acted, but also wrote and directed films including A Knight's Tale. Monster's Ball. Iron Man.
Hollywood loved Heath but he grew too large for his boots. He became addicted to drugs and drank heavily. He finally went to rehab, and he was clean.
He wanted to make amends now that he was sober. He made a documentary called "Room 237," that chronicled the making and release of The Shining. The film was originally supposed to be released in this year's theaters, but it will not make its way into the cinemas until next year.
Heath was unsuccessful in his attempts to get back into Hollywood. In fact, Heath was twice arrested on drug charges.
We don't believe Heath should have been allowed to go back into the entertainment industry. It would have been nice for him to have received some assistance before things spiraled outof control.
We hope Heath’s story serves as a cautionary tale for others who think they might still be able to have it all.
