WITH a concentrated<br />
squint, Ashima Shir<strong>aish</strong>i<br />
silently sized up her first<br />
rock of <strong>the</strong> day, a menacing<br />
slab of jagged beige<br />
boulder 6 meters high, scuffed by white<br />
chalk left behind from bigger, older, more<br />
experienced climbers.<br />
A black crash pad as thick as a mattress<br />
was placed on <strong>the</strong> ground, <strong>and</strong> without a<br />
rope or harness <strong>for</strong> protection, Ashima<br />
shrugged off her purple jacket, hoisted herself<br />
onto <strong>the</strong> boulder <strong>and</strong> began to scramble<br />
up, her calf muscles bulging gently as<br />
she grabbed one nearly invisible ledge of<br />
rock after ano<strong>the</strong>r. With a final stretch, she<br />
reached <strong>the</strong> top, her glossy black ponytail<br />
disappearing first, <strong>the</strong>n one limb at a time,<br />
until she was out of sight.<br />
A tiny voice floated <strong>over</strong> <strong>the</strong> top of <strong>the</strong><br />
boulder. “How do you get down?” she said.<br />
Ashima had just begun a two-week<br />
climbing expedition this spring at Hueco<br />
Tanks, a state park that is a mecca <strong>for</strong> bouldering<br />
enthusiasts, 350 hectares of rock<br />
masses surrounded by endless desert <strong>and</strong><br />
sky 50 kilometres nor<strong>the</strong>ast of El Paso.<br />
Three days after she arrived, she stunned<br />
<strong>the</strong> bouldering world by climbing Crown of<br />
Aragorn, a exceedingly difficult route that<br />
requires climbers to contort <strong>the</strong>ir bodies<br />
<strong>and</strong> hang practically upside down by <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
fingers as <strong>the</strong>y navigate a rock that juts out<br />
from <strong>the</strong> ground at a 45-degree angle.<br />
On <strong>the</strong> scale of V0 to V16 that g<strong>over</strong>ns<br />
bouldering, Crown of Aragorn is a V13, a<br />
level that only a few female climbers had<br />
reached be<strong>for</strong>e.<br />
None was 10 years old, as she was.<br />
Ashima, a petite girl with pale skin, a<br />
toothy smile <strong>and</strong> a thick fringe of bangs cut<br />
in a perfect line across her <strong>for</strong>ehead, is not<br />
only <strong>the</strong> best climber of her age in <strong>the</strong><br />
United States, or maybe anywhere, but her<br />
accomplishments have already placed her<br />
among <strong>the</strong> elites in <strong>the</strong> sport.<br />
DELICATE,<br />
BUTTERY<br />
FLOUNDER<br />
FROM<br />
ANOTHER<br />
ERA<br />
Tuesday, May 29, 2012<br />
In 2008, when she was only 7, she began<br />
sending problems – bouldering lingo <strong>for</strong><br />
ascending routes – that some adult<br />
climbers could not h<strong>and</strong>le.<br />
On a trip to Hueco in 2010, she climbed<br />
a V10 called Power of Silence. The next<br />
year, she ascended a V11/12 called<br />
Chablanke.<br />
At <strong>the</strong> American Bouldering Series<br />
Youth National Championship in Colorado<br />
Springs in March, she easily came in first<br />
place, all 1.2 meters 12 centimetres <strong>and</strong> 28<br />
kilograms of her.<br />
Be<strong>for</strong>e finishing fifth grade, Ashima, who<br />
recently turned 11, is redefining what physical<br />
tools are required to be an elite climber<br />
<strong>and</strong> showing how a child can hold her own<br />
against professional climbers who are<br />
adults.<br />
This summer, she will accompany a<br />
group of American climbers <strong>for</strong> an<br />
expedition in South Africa, where she<br />
will be <strong>the</strong> only child climber in <strong>the</strong><br />
bunch.<br />
“She’s this adorable little girl who<br />
climbs hard <strong>and</strong> cries when she doesn’t<br />
send,” said Andrew Tower, <strong>the</strong> editor<br />
in chief of Urban Climber magazine.<br />
“Her climbing IQ is so high, you<br />
show her how to do something <strong>and</strong> she<br />
soaks it up really quickly. She underst<strong>and</strong>s<br />
innately how to move.”<br />
It did not take a pro to see that <strong>the</strong>re was<br />
something unusual going on at <strong>the</strong> time<br />
Ashima started climbing in 2007, when<br />
she was 6.<br />
Her parents, Tsuya <strong>and</strong> Hisatoshi<br />
Shir<strong>aish</strong>i, had immigrated from Japan in<br />
1978 <strong>and</strong> settled in a loft in <strong>the</strong> Chelsea section<br />
of Manhattan. When Ashima, <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
only child, was 2, <strong>the</strong>y began taking her to<br />
Central Park in search of amusement.<br />
One afternoon when Ashima was in<br />
kindergarten, <strong>the</strong>y w<strong>and</strong>ered <strong>over</strong> to Rat<br />
Rock, a boulder 4.5 meters high <strong>and</strong> 12<br />
meters wide at <strong>the</strong> south end of <strong>the</strong> park<br />
that is a favourite spot <strong>for</strong> amateur<br />
climbers.<br />
Ashima joined <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r climbers <strong>and</strong><br />

began to scurry up <strong>the</strong> rock without help,<br />
so focused on her climbing that she begged<br />
to stay at Rat Rock through <strong>the</strong> dinner<br />
hour. Finally, when it became so dark that<br />
Ashima could not see <strong>the</strong> rock anymore,<br />
<strong>the</strong>y went home.<br />
The Shir<strong>aish</strong>is were mystified. “We didn’t<br />
even know that climbing was a sport,”<br />
her fa<strong>the</strong>r, Hisatoshi Shir<strong>aish</strong>i, said later.<br />
But he knew that his little girl was good.<br />
The Shir<strong>aish</strong>is went to Rat Rock almost<br />
daily, visits that stretched through <strong>the</strong><br />
summer <strong>and</strong> into <strong>the</strong> fall. Ashima kept<br />
improving, climbing higher <strong>and</strong> faster,<br />
often attracting a crowd.<br />
By November, it was becoming too cold<br />
to climb outside, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Shir<strong>aish</strong>is started<br />
to worry. What were <strong>the</strong>y going to do with<br />
her all winter?<br />
Some byst<strong>and</strong>ers in <strong>the</strong> park encouraged<br />
Hisatoshi Shir<strong>aish</strong>i, known as Poppo, to<br />
take Ashima to a proper climbing gym.<br />
“They said, ‘You’re special,”’ Ashima<br />
recalled, her voice trailing off with a shade<br />
of embarrassment. “They told me that I<br />
should be climbing at a gym, all <strong>the</strong> time.”<br />
Soon, <strong>the</strong>y fell into a rhythm: Ashima<br />
would climb nearly every day after school,<br />
with Poppo as her coach.<br />
He did not know about rock climbing,<br />
but he knew how to move. He had been<br />
trained as a dancer, studying Butoh, a <strong>for</strong>m<br />
developed in Japan a half-century ago that<br />
is influenced by German Expressionism. In<br />
New York, he per<strong>for</strong>med in a group called<br />
Poppo <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Go-Go Boys, whose<br />
“strangely beautiful” routines sometimes<br />
ended with dances on <strong>and</strong> around toilet<br />
bowls, a finale that was “more than a<br />
prank,” an admiring review in The New<br />
York Times said in 1993.<br />
In those days, Poppo <strong>the</strong> modern<br />
dancer <strong>and</strong> choreographer wore his hair<br />
in a triple Mohawk. Now he has toned it<br />
down a bit, but on a recent Saturday<br />
afternoon at <strong>the</strong> gym in New Rochelle,<br />
New York, where Ashima takes a private<br />
weekly lesson <strong>and</strong> participates<br />
in <strong>the</strong> occasional climbing competition,<br />
Poppo stood out among <strong>the</strong><br />
suburban parents in khakis <strong>and</strong> J<br />
Crew sweaters.<br />
His hair, dyed canary yellow, was<br />
buzzed short on <strong>the</strong> sides <strong>and</strong> spiked<br />
on top. He wore designer eyeglasses<br />
<strong>and</strong> a light gray T-shirt decorated with<br />
neat rows of Japanese lettering. (They<br />
read, “Are you stupid?”)<br />
Poppo, who has given up Butoh but still<br />
moves with <strong>the</strong> li<strong>the</strong> ease of a dancer,<br />
watched Ashima intensely as she moved<br />
steadily up <strong>the</strong> wall.<br />
When Ashima climbs, he said, he feels he<br />
is climbing with her.<br />
“With dance, <strong>the</strong>re is space all around<br />
you,” he said, spreading his arms wide <strong>and</strong><br />
fluttering his fingers in a circle. “I teach her<br />
to think about <strong>the</strong> space around her when<br />
she is climbing.”<br />
As climbing has gained popularity, more<br />
children have tried it. One of <strong>the</strong> top children<br />
in <strong>the</strong> sport, a frequent competitor of<br />
Ashima’s, is Brooke Raboutou, <strong>the</strong> daughter<br />
of <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>mer climbing champions<br />
Robyn Erbesfield-Raboutou <strong>and</strong> Didier<br />
Raboutou.<br />

Ashima Shir<strong>aish</strong>i<br />
Ashima, a petite girl<br />
with pale skin, a toothy smile<br />
<strong>and</strong> a thick fringe of bangs cut in a<br />
perfect line across her <strong>for</strong>ehead, is<br />
not only <strong>the</strong> best climber of her age in<br />
<strong>the</strong> United States, or maybe anywhere,<br />
but her accomplishments have<br />
already placed her among <strong>the</strong><br />
elites in <strong>the</strong> sport<br />
Ashima Shir<strong>aish</strong>i, practicing her climbing Obe Carrion gets a h<strong>and</strong> from Shir<strong>aish</strong>i, right, <strong>and</strong> her aunt Kay Horikawa. Ashima Shir<strong>aish</strong>i (left) with her climbing coach, Obe Carrion.<br />
Physically, children <strong>and</strong> teenagers may<br />
even have some advantages <strong>over</strong> adults:<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir small h<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> feet allow <strong>the</strong>m to<br />
use holds that adults cannot. Some experts<br />
have suggested that <strong>the</strong>y bounce back<br />
more quickly from falls <strong>and</strong> injuries than<br />
adults do.<br />
Ashima has not escaped injuries. Her<br />
knees are marked with scrapes <strong>and</strong> scabs.<br />
On her <strong>for</strong>ehead is a faint yellow bruise, <strong>the</strong><br />
size of a quarter, suffered during a climb at<br />
her gym in Brooklyn.<br />
“I was trying to do a really big move <strong>and</strong><br />
I hit my head,” she said.<br />
Getting hurt does not seem to bo<strong>the</strong>r her.<br />
“I don’t think about it,” she said. “I know<br />
how to fall.”<br />
But <strong>the</strong> mental requirements of climbing<br />
are too much <strong>for</strong> many children to h<strong>and</strong>le.<br />
Up close, bouldering is slow, even ponderous,<br />
a sport that allows <strong>for</strong> long stretches<br />
of hanging out, talking with fellow<br />
climbers, sitting around <strong>and</strong> contemplating<br />
holds <strong>and</strong> pinches. A group of climbers<br />
might stay at one chunk of rock <strong>for</strong> hours,<br />
staring at it <strong>and</strong> plotting <strong>the</strong> smartest way<br />
up.<br />
None of that seems to bore Ashima.<br />
“When she’s climbing, she’s not a child,”<br />
Poppo said. “Her mentality is like a professional<br />
climber.” Obe Carrion, her private<br />
coach, calls it “<strong>the</strong> stone face” that she<br />
wears during competitions.<br />
Kynan Waggoner, director of operations<br />
<strong>for</strong> USA Climbing, <strong>the</strong> national g<strong>over</strong>ning<br />
body <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> sport of competition climbing,<br />
said Ashima competed as if she were five<br />
years older than she is, mentally <strong>and</strong> physically.<br />
The children who excel at climbing,<br />
he added, tend to have an ability to concentrate<br />
that is beyond <strong>the</strong>ir years.<br />
“The best young climbers climb like<br />
shrunken adults – <strong>the</strong>y don’t move like<br />
children,” Waggoner said. “Their coordination<br />
is like a fully <strong>for</strong>med adult. Their balance<br />
is better; <strong>the</strong>ir agility is better. They<br />
just <strong>look</strong> like little men or little women.<br />
Everything is precise; everything is calculated.<br />
That’s how Ashima climbs.”

DAVID TANIS<br />
NYT SYNDICATE<br />
UNTIL <strong>the</strong> culinary<br />
revolution<br />
began in <strong>the</strong><br />
1970s, <strong>the</strong>re<br />
were two types<br />
of fine-dining restaurants in<br />
San Francisco. One served a<br />
kind of cuisine called<br />
Continental. Vaguely<br />
European <strong>and</strong> intentionally<br />
fancy, <strong>the</strong> food arrived from<br />
<strong>the</strong> kitchen beneath polished<br />
silver domes, accompanied<br />
by rich sauces in silver<br />
sauce boats, <strong>and</strong> occasionally<br />
by tableside <strong>the</strong>atrics<br />
per<strong>for</strong>med by waiters<br />
in red dinner jackets.<br />
The o<strong>the</strong>r, a bit more<br />
boisterous <strong>and</strong> bustling,<br />
was <strong>the</strong> traditional bistrolike<br />
San Francisco fish<br />
house, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>re were lots<br />
of <strong>the</strong>m, some predating <strong>the</strong><br />
1906 earthquake. The<br />
menus in <strong>the</strong>se places didn’t<br />
vary much, <strong>and</strong> all boasted<br />
fresh local seafood. There<br />
were, of course, <strong>the</strong> obligatory<br />
shrimp cocktail <strong>and</strong><br />
shrimp Louie, oysters on<br />
<strong>the</strong> half-shell <strong>and</strong> little pots<br />
of steamed clams.<br />
Perpetually available was a<br />
so-called captain’s platter,<br />
which contained an assortment<br />
of deep-fried fish <strong>and</strong><br />
shellfish.<br />
In season, diners ordered<br />
Dungeness crab <strong>and</strong> Pacific<br />
salmon <strong>and</strong> halibut steaks.<br />
But any fish palace worth its<br />
sea salt also offered <strong>the</strong><br />
three types of sole native to<br />
<strong>the</strong> region.<br />
Rex were served bone-in,<br />
but <strong>the</strong> prized, meaty, delicate<br />
petrale sole was always<br />
a boneless fillet. The best<br />
version of it was called Dore<br />
(pronounced doh-RAY),<br />
dipped in an eggy batter<br />
<strong>and</strong> tossed on a well-oiled<br />
hot griddle, <strong>the</strong>n floated in a<br />
buttery sauce.<br />
For <strong>the</strong> most part, those<br />
establishments have disappeared,<br />
but a few stalwarts<br />
remain <strong>and</strong> are popular<br />
with locals <strong>and</strong> tourists.<br />
When I lived on <strong>the</strong> West<br />
Coast, an occasional meal in<br />
one of <strong>the</strong>m provided a<br />
glimpse of a previous era,<br />
with decor to match:<br />
mahogany fixtures, brass<br />
rails, dark velvet curtains<br />
<strong>and</strong> etched mirrors, along<br />
with no-nonsense plates<br />
<strong>and</strong> cutlery. There was<br />
never a young waiter on <strong>the</strong><br />
staff. Eating <strong>the</strong>re was like<br />
stepping into a fabled past.<br />
I confess a certain weakness<br />
still <strong>for</strong> that savoury<br />
egg-cloaked sole. Here in<br />
New York <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r day, my<br />
favourite fishmonger had<br />
small flounder fillets, so I<br />
determined to prepare <strong>the</strong>m<br />
in that nearly prehistoric<br />
manner. The technique is<br />
Delicate, buttery flounder<br />
from ano<strong>the</strong>r era<br />
simple: Dust <strong>the</strong> fish in<br />
flour <strong>and</strong> submerge it in a<br />
mixture of beaten egg <strong>and</strong><br />
milk. When <strong>the</strong> fillets are<br />
pan-fried, <strong>the</strong>y emerge<br />
moist, delicate <strong>and</strong> golden.<br />
Although <strong>the</strong> fish <strong>the</strong>n really<br />
needs only butter <strong>and</strong><br />
lemon, my slight variation<br />
was to add a h<strong>and</strong>ful of finely<br />
minced mild green spring<br />
garlic to <strong>the</strong> sauce. It is so<br />
abundant at <strong>the</strong> farmers’<br />
market right now, I seem to<br />
be putting a little in just<br />
about everything.<br />
Egg batter pan-fried<br />
flounder with green<br />
garlic<br />
Time: About 20 minutes<br />
Ingredients:<br />
1 1/2 pounds boneless<br />
flounder or sole fillets,<br />
preferably four 6-ounce<br />
pieces<br />
Salt <strong>and</strong> pepper<br />
2 large eggs<br />
1/2 cup milk<br />
1/2 cup all-purpose flour <strong>for</strong><br />
dredging<br />
Mild olive oil or vegetable<br />
oil <strong>for</strong> frying<br />
4 tablespoons unsalted butter<br />
1/3 cup finely chopped<br />
green garlic, both white part<br />
<strong>and</strong> tender green stalks<br />
Juice of 1/2 lemon<br />
3 tablespoons chopped flatleaf<br />
parsley<br />
Lemon wedges.<br />
Method:<br />
1. Season <strong>the</strong> fish fillets<br />
with salt <strong>and</strong> pepper. Make<br />
<strong>the</strong> egg batter by whisking<br />
toge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> eggs <strong>and</strong> milk<br />
in a shallow bowl, along<br />
with a pinch of salt.<br />
2. Put <strong>the</strong> flour on a plate.<br />
Coat each fillet lightly on<br />
both sides, <strong>the</strong>n submerge<br />
<strong>the</strong> fish in <strong>the</strong> egg batter.<br />
(This can be done up to 30<br />
minutes ahead.)<br />
3. Pour about 1/4-inch oil<br />
in a wide skillet <strong>over</strong> medium-high<br />
heat. When <strong>the</strong> oil<br />
<strong>look</strong>s wavy, lift <strong>the</strong> fish<br />
from <strong>the</strong> egg batter one<br />
piece at a time, allowing<br />
excess batter to drip off.<br />
(Discard remaining batter.)<br />
Carefully lay each fillet in<br />
<strong>the</strong> pan <strong>and</strong> let gently fry<br />
until golden, about two<br />
minutes per side. Remove<br />
<strong>and</strong> blot briefly on paper<br />
towels, <strong>the</strong>n transfer to a<br />
warmed serving platter.<br />
4. Pour off any remaining<br />
oil <strong>and</strong> return <strong>the</strong> pan to<br />
<strong>the</strong> heat. Melt <strong>the</strong> butter in<br />
<strong>the</strong> pan <strong>and</strong> add <strong>the</strong> green<br />
garlic, <strong>and</strong> a little salt <strong>and</strong><br />
pepper. Let cook without<br />
browning <strong>for</strong> about one<br />
minute, <strong>the</strong>n add <strong>the</strong> lemon<br />
juice.<br />
5. Spoon <strong>the</strong> green garlic<br />
butter <strong>over</strong> <strong>the</strong> fish.<br />
Sprinkle with parsley, garnish<br />
with lemon wedges<br />
<strong>and</strong> serve immediately.<br />
Yield: 4 servings.<br />

The walking dead: putting<br />
<strong>the</strong> guilt back in killing<br />
CHRIS SUELLENTROP<br />
NYT SYNDICATE What’s distinct<br />
A scene from <strong>the</strong> game<br />
The Walking Dead<br />
ZOMBIES are <strong>the</strong><br />
new Nazis, at<br />
least when it<br />
comes to video<br />
games. The<br />
h<strong>and</strong>off couldn’t<br />
have been more straight<strong>for</strong>ward.<br />
In “World at War,” <strong>the</strong><br />
2008 iteration of <strong>the</strong> wildly<br />
popular Call of Duty series,<br />
<strong>the</strong> game designers, perhaps<br />
sensing that players were tiring<br />
of <strong>the</strong> pleasures of killing<br />
<strong>the</strong> soldiers of <strong>the</strong> Third<br />
Reich, introduced a new<br />
mode: Nazi zombies.<br />
Shooting already dead members<br />
of Hitler’s army proved<br />
even more satisfying than<br />
doing <strong>the</strong> same to (digitally)<br />
living but historical Germans.<br />
Out with World War II, in<br />
with World War Z.<br />
The lineage isn’t quite that<br />
simple, of course. Zombies<br />
have a long history in games,<br />
including seminal titles like<br />
“Resident Evil” (1996) <strong>and</strong><br />
“Wolfenstein 3D” (1992),<br />
widely regarded as <strong>the</strong> original<br />
first-person shooter,<br />
which itself was about fighting<br />
some kind of<br />
undead/Nazi hybrid. And<br />
apocalyptic fiction has<br />
become unavoidable in post-<br />
September 11 America.<br />
What’s distinct about <strong>the</strong><br />
video game strain of <strong>the</strong> infection<br />
is that “zombies” <strong>and</strong><br />
“Nazis” are usually interchangeable<br />
concepts. Each is<br />
presented as a dehumanised<br />
enemy that won’t make players<br />
feel guilty <strong>for</strong> all <strong>the</strong> exultant<br />
violence <strong>the</strong>y inflict. The<br />
zombie apocalypse neatly<br />
removes thorny questions of<br />
morality <strong>and</strong> makes <strong>the</strong><br />
action about as fraught as<br />
gobbling <strong>the</strong> ghosts in “Pac-<br />
Man” or blasting <strong>the</strong> descending<br />
aliens in “Space<br />
Invaders.”<br />
Even a game like last fall’s<br />
“Tea Party Zombies Must<br />
Die,” in which <strong>the</strong> player is<br />
asked to lay waste joyfully to<br />
<strong>the</strong> likes of Bill O’Reilly <strong>and</strong><br />
Sean Hannity, depends on<br />
this underst<strong>and</strong>ing. By turning<br />
conservative personalities<br />
into zombies <strong>and</strong> thus making<br />
it not only acceptable but<br />
also acceptably exciting to<br />
shoot <strong>the</strong>m, “<strong>the</strong> game scripts<br />
its violence into morally<br />
excusable self-defence,” as<br />
Peter Freeman wrote recently<br />
in a thought-provoking essay<br />
on games in Crisis, <strong>the</strong><br />
Roman Catholic journal.<br />
Given <strong>the</strong> new dawn <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
dead, it’s unsurprising that<br />
The Walking Dead, <strong>the</strong> popular<br />
comic book turned even<br />
more popular AMC television<br />
series, has now been given its<br />
own video game adaptation.<br />
What’s unexpected <strong>and</strong> welcome<br />
about this new treatment<br />
of Robert Kirkman’s fiction<br />
is how different it is from<br />
<strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r entries in gaming’s<br />
New Zombie Wave. The<br />
Walking Dead zombies aren’t<br />
just soulless. They’re soulful,<br />
too – killing one actually<br />
means something.<br />
“A New Day,” <strong>the</strong> first<br />
installment in a planned fiveepisode<br />
series by Telltale<br />
Games, takes two to three<br />
hours to play <strong>and</strong> can be<br />
downloaded <strong>for</strong> $4.99 on<br />
computers, PlayStations <strong>and</strong><br />
A scene from <strong>the</strong> game<br />
The Walking Dead<br />
about <strong>the</strong> video<br />
game strain of <strong>the</strong><br />
infection is that<br />
“zombies” <strong>and</strong><br />
“Nazis” are<br />
usually<br />
interchangeable<br />
concepts<br />
Xboxes. The next four<br />
episodes are expected to be<br />
released at a rate of about one<br />
every month.<br />
Like a George Romero<br />
movie, zombie games typically<br />
have Dead in <strong>the</strong> title: in<br />
addition to Walking, <strong>the</strong>y are<br />
Rising, <strong>the</strong>y are Left 4, <strong>the</strong>y<br />
are on an Isl<strong>and</strong>. Unlike a<br />
George Romero movie, <strong>the</strong><br />
games usually place little to<br />
no emphasis on <strong>the</strong> lives of<br />
any of <strong>the</strong> zombies be<strong>for</strong>e<br />
<strong>the</strong>y were turned – no sense<br />
that <strong>the</strong>se nauseating creatures<br />
were once our neighbours,<br />
our friends, our husb<strong>and</strong>s,<br />
wives <strong>and</strong> children.<br />
Instead <strong>the</strong> zombies are<br />
merely a kind of puzzle<br />
crossed with a physical challenge:<br />
an exhilarating,<br />
creepy <strong>and</strong> sometimes hilarious<br />
obstacle devoid of anything<br />
a <strong>the</strong>atergoer would<br />
underst<strong>and</strong> as drama. In<br />
contrast, “The Walking<br />
Dead” goes <strong>for</strong> a less kinetic,<br />
more story-driven approach,<br />
one in which <strong>the</strong>re’s as much<br />
watching as <strong>the</strong>re is playing.<br />
The game is pretty to <strong>look</strong> at<br />
– in essence, a colourised<br />
version of Kirkman’s comic<br />
books – <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> interactive<br />
elements are frequently limited<br />
to choosing lines from a<br />
menu of dialogue; walking in<br />
very small, constrained<br />
spaces; <strong>and</strong> examining a<br />
h<strong>and</strong>ful of items in <strong>the</strong> environment.<br />
The first episode is<br />
in some ways a “Rosencrantz<br />
<strong>and</strong> Guildenstern Are<br />
Undead” – now <strong>the</strong>re’s a<br />
video game franchise waiting<br />
to be born – in which lesser<br />
characters from <strong>the</strong> comics<br />
are given lives outside <strong>the</strong><br />
original work.<br />
Despite this promising<br />
setup, <strong>the</strong>re are times when<br />
<strong>the</strong> narrative emphasis feels<br />
like a mistake. The middle<br />
scenes – a respite at a farmhouse,<br />
Everett’s arrival at a<br />
<strong>for</strong>tified pharmacy in Macon,<br />
Ga. – drag, <strong>and</strong> “press X to<br />
kill zombie” is often <strong>the</strong> level<br />
of interactivity presented.<br />
But what zombies! Taking an<br />
ax to <strong>the</strong> reanimated corpse<br />
of a character’s bro<strong>the</strong>r in<br />
<strong>the</strong> streets of Macon, or<br />
deciding whe<strong>the</strong>r to give a<br />
gun to a woman who was bitten<br />
<strong>and</strong> now wants to kill<br />
herself be<strong>for</strong>e she is reborn –<br />
<strong>the</strong>se moments have more<br />
sadness <strong>and</strong> subtlety in <strong>the</strong>m<br />
than o<strong>the</strong>r games muster in<br />
40 hours. The creatures in<br />
“The Walking Dead” are<br />
designed to be killed by your<br />
h<strong>and</strong>, but – <strong>for</strong> once – you’re<br />
not quite meant to have fun<br />
doing it.

REUTERS<br />
UNIVERSAL Studios Hollywood recently unveiled<br />
its newest attraction, “Trans<strong>for</strong>mers: The Ride-<br />
3D,” based on <strong>the</strong> blockbuster films <strong>and</strong> toys that<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>me park’s operators called <strong>the</strong>ir best ride yet.<br />
The ride, which opens to <strong>the</strong> public on May 25 as <strong>the</strong><br />
United States kicks off its summer holiday season, takes<br />
people by car through a futuristic city under siege by evil<br />
<strong>and</strong> immersed in combat between heroic shape-shifting<br />
characters, <strong>the</strong> Autobots, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir nemeses, <strong>the</strong><br />
Decepticons.<br />
Ra<strong>the</strong>r than serve as witness to <strong>the</strong> conflict, guests are<br />
made to feel like characters<br />
in <strong>the</strong> battle, enlisted<br />
alongside <strong>the</strong> Autobots<br />
to save <strong>the</strong> world.<br />
“We think this is <strong>the</strong><br />
best ride that we’ve ever<br />
created,” Steve Burke,<br />
President & CEO of<br />
NBCUniversal said . “It’s<br />
got a lot of different aspects to it<br />
that you literally couldn’t do as recently as ten<br />
years ago.”<br />
Men don’t flirt with me: Bar Refaeli<br />
ISRAELI supermodel Bar Refaeli says men do not flirt with<br />
her despite her good <strong>look</strong>s. “Let’s put it out <strong>the</strong>re, no one<br />
hits on me. I don’t get hit on by guys. No one flirts with<br />
me,” she told TV host Conan O’Brien. However, Refaeli, who<br />
previously dated actor Leonardo DiCaprio, does have a list of<br />
qualities she <strong>look</strong>s <strong>for</strong> in a man, reports femalefirst.co.uk “Of<br />
course <strong>the</strong>re are <strong>the</strong> obvious things. I want him to be sweet<br />
<strong>and</strong> kind <strong>and</strong> have values <strong>and</strong> morals. The first thing I notice<br />
is his teeth. I have a fetish. I like a great smile <strong>and</strong> really<br />
white, bright teeth,” she said.<br />
Built across 2,000 feet of track on a 60,000 square feet<br />
stage in a 60-feet. high building, <strong>the</strong> ride was created to<br />
revolutionise <strong>the</strong> amusement park experience through<br />
motion-based flight simulation.<br />
Autobots <strong>and</strong> Decepticons battle all around <strong>the</strong> cars<br />
as sensory stimulators unleash <strong>the</strong> heat of explosions,<br />
spit of <strong>the</strong> robots <strong>and</strong> quake of gears <strong>and</strong> exploding<br />
bombs.<br />
The attraction also features <strong>the</strong> original voice work of<br />
actors Peter Cullen <strong>and</strong> Frank Welker, who voiced <strong>the</strong><br />
robotic characters in three hit Trans<strong>for</strong>mers movies<br />
that took in <strong>over</strong> $2.6 billion, combined, at worldwide<br />
box offices.<br />
“We’re about guest experience, we want people to<br />
keep coming back,” said Ron Meyer, President & COO of<br />
Universal Studios. “A ride like this, which is so extraordinary,<br />
just invites people to return because<br />
<strong>the</strong>y will be more than thrilled that <strong>the</strong>y did<br />
it, <strong>and</strong> will keep coming back<br />
to experience it again.”<br />
In addition to <strong>the</strong> ride,<br />
Universal Studios Hollywood is<br />
launching Energon, a<br />
Trans<strong>for</strong>mers-inspired energy<br />
drink to be sold at military<strong>the</strong>med<br />
kiosks at <strong>the</strong> park.<br />

Given <strong>the</strong>ir shared Idol history, <strong>the</strong> reality show stage<br />
served as <strong>the</strong> perfect setting <strong>for</strong> Young to make it<br />
official with his love<br />
TRIBUNE NEWS NETWORK<br />
UNLIKE most reality show romances, this<br />
one’s got staying power. In April, American<br />
Idol alumna Diana DeGarmo opened up to<br />
<strong>the</strong> media about her long-term romance with<br />
fellow <strong>for</strong>mer contestant Ace Young, who<br />
placed seventh in Season 5.<br />
The pair first crossed paths when <strong>the</strong>y appeared<br />
toge<strong>the</strong>r in a 2010 revival of Hair on broadway, <strong>and</strong><br />
quickly bonded <strong>over</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir experience on <strong>the</strong> reality<br />
show.<br />
“We played with <strong>the</strong> idea (of dating) when we<br />
first met,” DeGarmo said. “(But) we were friends,<br />
first <strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong>emost..We had both been through<br />
Idol, which is such a unique <strong>and</strong> life-changing<br />
experience, <strong>and</strong> we just truly bonded.”<br />
To couch it in Idol terms, <strong>the</strong>y didn’t, “go<br />
through to Hollywood (right away),” DeGarmo, 24,<br />
joked. But now? Gushed <strong>the</strong> star, “We are best<br />
friends! I truly believe us having been through Idol<br />
is one of <strong>the</strong> big reasons as to why we underst<strong>and</strong><br />
each o<strong>the</strong>r so well; unless you go through it, you<br />
don’t get it.”<br />
Given <strong>the</strong>ir shared Idol history, <strong>the</strong> reality show<br />
stage served as <strong>the</strong> perfect setting <strong>for</strong> Young to<br />
make it official with his love. In a scene-stealing<br />
moment during American Idol’s finale, <strong>the</strong> crooner<br />
got down on one knee <strong>and</strong> proposed to <strong>the</strong> season<br />
three runner-up.<br />
“This has always been home to us <strong>and</strong> I felt that<br />
this would be <strong>the</strong> perfect place to ask a simple<br />
question,” Young told a shocked, <strong>and</strong> tearful,<br />
DeGarmo. “We have conquered broadway toge<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
We have created our new music toge<strong>the</strong>r. We<br />
have an amazing group of people around us... I<br />
love you to death. You’re my best friend. I want to<br />
make this last <strong>for</strong>ever... Diana Nicole DeGarmo,<br />
will you marry me?”<br />

SOFIA Vergara, who recently split with her<br />
boyfriend of two years, used her vacation to <strong>the</strong><br />
isl<strong>and</strong> of Anguilla in <strong>the</strong> Caribbean this weekend<br />
to “reclaim her bachelorette status.”<br />
The Modern Family star was in a “very flirty” mood<br />
while she <strong>and</strong> three friends fled to <strong>the</strong> luxurious<br />
Viceroy Anguilla resort, to “rec<strong>over</strong> her independence.”<br />
“Sofia <strong>look</strong>ed like she was having a blast with her<br />
friends <strong>and</strong> got really flirty with some of <strong>the</strong> staff at<br />
<strong>the</strong> resort,” Radaronline quoted a source as saying.<br />
“She was on vacation with a group of close friends<br />
<strong>and</strong> said that she was using <strong>the</strong> escape as a way to<br />
reclaim her bachelorette status. Obviously <strong>the</strong> staff<br />
had to keep it professional, but you could tell she was<br />
getting a kick out of making <strong>the</strong>m blush.<br />

months because I want to make sure that my baby is secure.”<br />

The <strong>for</strong>mer Miss World received<br />
extremely harsh criticism, with<br />

viral Internet videos.<br />
But <strong>the</strong> Bride <strong>and</strong> Prejudice<br />
actress, who has been described by<br />
Hollywood’s Julia Roberts as <strong>the</strong><br />
world’s most beautiful woman, has<br />
<strong>look</strong>ed to silence those who became<br />
obsessed with her weight.<br />
One video titled “Aishwarya Rai’s<br />
shocking weight gain” has been seen<br />
more than half a million times, <strong>and</strong><br />
sparked a flurry of similar videos to<br />
be created in <strong>the</strong> aftermath. Many<br />

PAKISTANI actress Veena<br />
Malik, set to sizzle in <strong>the</strong><br />
Kannada version of hit<br />
Bollywood film The Dirty<br />
Picture, aims to go a step ahead<br />
of Vidya Balan’s act in <strong>the</strong><br />
original. She maintains <strong>the</strong><br />
two films are different.<br />
“I have not seen <strong>the</strong> The<br />
Dirty Picture in Hindi,<br />
though I have heard that Vidya<br />
Balan has delivered an awesome<br />
per<strong>for</strong>mance in <strong>the</strong> film. But I<br />
really want to go one step ahead in<br />
my per<strong>for</strong>mance in this film,” said<br />
Veena.<br />
The actress, who rose to fame in<br />
India after her stint in contr<strong>over</strong>sial<br />
reality show Bigg Boss 4, says it<br />
is unfair to compare <strong>the</strong> two films.<br />
Aishwarya has<br />
received fierce <strong>and</strong><br />
harsh criticism <strong>and</strong><br />
mocking in India <strong>for</strong><br />
her weight gain, with<br />
many saying she was<br />
not losing her baby<br />
weight fast enough<br />
Becks shrunk back down in days,<br />
whereas Aishwarya has lost her selfrespect.”<br />
Ano<strong>the</strong>r rebuked, “Bollywood<br />
does not want to see this Mrs<br />
Aishwarya Rai!!”<br />
However, Aishwarya has not<br />
“Please don’t compare <strong>the</strong><br />
Bollywood film with <strong>the</strong> Kannada<br />
film that I am doing now,” said<br />
Veena.<br />
This is her first Kannada film,<br />
<strong>and</strong> she is confident it will be<br />
appreciated.<br />
“My first Kannada film has a<br />
good package of entertainment <strong>and</strong><br />
sentimental scenes. I’m sure I will<br />
entertain <strong>the</strong> audience with my<br />
per<strong>for</strong>mance <strong>and</strong> at <strong>the</strong> same time<br />
<strong>the</strong>y would also feel sorry <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
trials that my character undergoes<br />
in <strong>the</strong> film.<br />
“I will win <strong>the</strong> hearts of <strong>the</strong> audience<br />
through this per<strong>for</strong>mance. I<br />
like <strong>the</strong> role,” she added.<br />
Veena said she can relate to her<br />
role in <strong>the</strong> film, adding: “This is a<br />
different story <strong>and</strong> it connects well<br />
with all <strong>the</strong> struggling young<br />
women who want to make it big in<br />

allowed herself to become obsessed<br />
with losing weight following her little<br />

Some stuck up <strong>for</strong> her, with one<br />

not on <strong>the</strong>se idiots obsessing <strong>over</strong><br />

huge pressure on her to <strong>look</strong> perfect<br />
