Natalie Portman or in Hebrew: נטלי פורטמן‎ was born as Natalie Hershlag in Jerusalem on June 9, 1981 and is an Israeli American actress. I remember seeing her for the first time on Léon (aka the Professional) starring alongside Jean Reno when she was only 13 years old. She is more widely known for the role as Padmé Amidala in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. She was also quoted as saying that she would "...rather be smart than be a movie star," completed a bachelor's degree in psychology at Harvard College while she was working on the Star Wars films. Portman has been a vegetarian since childhood and is an advocate for animal rights. She does not eat animal products or wear fur, feathers, or leather. "All of my shoes are from Target and Stella McCartney," she says. On the concept of the afterlife, she comments: "I don't believe in that. I believe this is it, and I believe it's the best way to live." Enjoy the high resolution photos or Miss Portman below!

Thankfully I've recovered quite quickly from my flu (even more thankful that it wasn't of the swine variety). What is phlegm? Thick, sticky, stringy mucus secreted by the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract, as during a cold or other respiratory infection. What does clear phlegm mean? What does cloudy white phlegm mean? What does yellow phlegm mean? What does green phlegm mean?

Phlegm Colour

Here are the meanings to certain phlegm colours:

• Clear or White Phlegm = healthy; inital stage of common flu has clear phlegm and can be most infectious
• Yellow Phlegm = A sign that your immune system is responding to the attack. It may be a sign of a bacterial infection - hence doctors may prescribe an antibiotic.

On the set of some random Victoria's Secret photoshoot sexy Adriana Lima grabs a man's crotch. I don't know the context of this occurrence or when it happend but I love the expression on the guy!. Adriana Lima has also been seen on the sitcom How I Met Your Mother in November 2007 and the American television series Ugly Betty. And I'm sorry guys but she's off the market: In 2009 Adriana married Serbian basketball player Marko Jarić; they wed in a private civil ceremony in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on Valentines Day. Jarić and Lima originally planned on an extravagant wedding in Salvador in June 2009, but the couple decided to opt for two weddings in each of their hometowns, both are scheduled to take place at the end of 2009.

You have got to check out new search engine WolframAlpha. What is this new search engine do? How is WolframAlpha different to Google? Wolfram Alpha offers an exact answer, instead of showing up the links to pages that may (or may not) contain the answer, like Google and other search engines. You type a question and instantly get an answer. "Wolfram Alpha is like plugging into a vast electronic brain. It provides extremely impressive and thorough answers to a wide range of questions asked in many different ways, and it computes answers, it doesn't merely look them up in a big database. … In this respect it is vastly smarter than (and different from) Google. Google simply retrieves documents based on keyword searches. Google doesn't understand the question or the answer, and doesn't compute answers based on models of various fields of human knowledge." Do we even need to think anymore?!

Wolfram Alpha For Easter Eggs and Novelty Search Ideas

I remember the frustration and the tears (!) associated with not being able to solve a problem or to find out some fact or method for maths (mathematics) problems, chemistry or physics. The Internet makes it so easy now. I was reading the New York Times article about these websites out there which help you out in "unravelling the mysteries of complex math and science problems.". You've got so many tools. Being stuck on a problem and the frustration of having to wait the next day to learn from your teacher the method is now a thing of the past. If you need homework help you just need a little initiative to go visit one of these websites and ask them on how to solve your particular problem.

Homework help. Bah! First start off with Google. If its a science related problem - like maths or physics give the newly launched Wolfram Alpha a try. And if you are an Engineering student, or if you love Mathematica - you'll love Wolfram Alpha!. Now, getting more to the point, you've got a popular site called Cramster which is an "Online Study Community". Other homework help websites are: Koofers which provides (shares) lecture notes, Spark Notes (owned by Barnes and Noble) and Course Hero. Good Luck with your maths problems!
