"Adam Scott"



Adam Paul Scott (born April 3, 1973) is an American film and television actor. He is known for his roles as Derek in the movie Step Brothers, Henry Pollard in the Starz comedy series Party Down, and as Ben Wyatt in the NBC comedy Parks and Recreation.

Scott was born on April 3, 1973 in Santa Cruz, California, the son of Anne (née Quartara) and Douglas Scott. He has two older siblings, Shannon and David. Scott has said that his brother David "looks like me but is far more cerebral and inherited the intellect of our parents," both of whom are retired teachers. He graduated from Harbor High School and he is a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles, California.

One of his earliest roles was in Hellraiser: Bloodline. He has appeared in several feature films, including Who Loves the Sun (2006), Monster-in-Law (2005), The Aviator (2004), Torque (2004), High Crimes (2002), Star Trek: First Contact (1996), and The Lesser Evil (1998). In 2007-08, he had a cameo as a nurse in Knocked Up, and played Will Ferrell's biological brother Derek in Step Brothers, as well as Josh in the dot-com drama August. Scott played a supporting role in Alexandre Aja's remake Piranha 3-D, playing a character similar to Bradford Dillman's character from the original. He also played Jeremy in Leap Year. Scott's name appears next to Jon Hamm's in the movie Anchorman in one of the broadcast's credits. In an appearance on G4's Attack of the Show program on April 21, 2011, Scott confirmed that this was due to his and Hamm's friendship with producer Shauna Robertson, who put their names in the credits as an Easter egg.


He appeared in the films Our Idiot Brother (2011) as Jeremy and Bachelorette. He also starred as Jason Fryman in Friends with Kids (2012) alongside real-life friends Jennifer Westfeldt and Hamm.
Alongside recurring Party Down guest star J.K. Simmons, Scott starred as Caleb Sinclaire in the 2009 film The Vicious Kind in a more dramatic role than his previous comedic endeavors. Though the film itself was met with mixed reviews, Scott's own performance was held in much higher regard. For his efforts, Scott won two individual awards at two separate film festivals, with writer and director Lee Toland Krieger winning one as well. Scott starred in the film Passenger Side, released on DVD on October 26, 2010. Who Loves The Sun, the film was his second collaboration with writer-director Matt Bissonnette.

On television, he appeared as Griff in the series Boy Meets World and Josh on Party of Five, as well as David's love interest, Ben Cooper, on Six Feet Under. He played Palek on the HBO drama Tell Me You Love Me (2007). Scott played a cocaine-addicted, delirious baseball front office representative in the first and second seasons of the HBO series, Eastbound & Down. From 2009 to 2010 he appeared on the Starz network show Party Down, created by Rob Thomas. His role as Henry Pollard in Party Down earned him an Entertainment Weekly Ewwy nomination for Best Actor in a Comedy Series in 2009. In 2010 he left Party Down and joined the cast of NBC's Parks and Recreation.
He has appeared in the Adult Swim comedy Childrens Hospital. He was also on the show NTSF:SD:SUV::, in the episode "The Risky Business of Being Alone in Your Home", and the annual Adult Swim special The Greatest Event in Television History. Scott has also appeared in the Comedy Central television show Nick Swardson's Pretend Time, as a newscaster in the episode "Relapse into Refreshment". He has appeared in a series of commercials for ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball.

"Saat Ibu Memasak Di Dapur"

Gambar
Setelah makan malam bersama keluarga, seorang ibu dan kedua putrinya bersama-sama mencuci piring di dapur. Sementara sang ayah dan putranya asyik menonton televisi di ruang keluarga.  Tiba-tiba terdengar suara piring pecah dari arah dapur. Sang putra langsung menatap ke ayahnya dan berkata “Pasti yang memecahkan piring itu ibu ya pak?”. Ayahnya membalas “Kok kamu tahu?”. “Karena aku tidak mendengar ibu membentak siapapun di arah dapur sana” jawab si putra.  (Jadilah seorang ibu yang menyayangi dengan cara tidak memarahi anak dengan membentaknya, sehingga sang anak menjadi ketakutan dan memiliki trauma yang bisa terbawa sampai dia besar nanti) .

"Tanya-Jawab Mengenai Radang Usus Buntu (Apendisitis)"

Gambar
Seorang rekan saya memiliki anak berusia 11 tahun yang baru saja dioperasi usus buntu karena diindikasikan memiliki apendisitis (radang usus buntu). Radang usus buntu memang salah satu penyakit yang paling umum, terutama pada kelompok anak-anak dan remaja usia 11-20 tahun. 'Hospital Bed' photo (c) 2009, CJ Sorg - license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ Karena radang usus buntu sangat umum, penting bagi kita semua untuk memiliki sedikit pemahaman mengenainya. Saya sendiri sering sekali mendapatkan pertanyaan-pertanyaan seperti: Apakah usus buntu? Mengapa usus buntu meradang? Bagaimana mengetahui saya terkena radang usus buntu? Apakah operasi adalah satu-satunya pilihan pengobatan? Apakah ada alternatif non-operasi? Bagaimana mencegahnya? dll. Untuk itu mari kita bahas pertanyaan tersebut satu per satu. Apakah usus buntu? Usus buntu adalah sebuah organ sebesar jari dengan panjang beberapa sentimeter yang menempel di sekum (bagian pertama dari usus besar),

PEMBANTU LUGU

Ini cerita dari seorang teman yang bertahun silam pergi ke Papua New Guinea untuk urusan bisnis. Ia ditemani oleh dua orang temannya dan tinggal di sebuah rumah di pedalaman. Rumah ini dirawat oleh seorang lokal, yang tugasnya hanya dua yakni merawat rumah dan memasak. Semuanya oke-oke saja, kecuali satu hal: mereka punya satu botol anggur yang mahal yang disimpan di ruang makan, yang setiap harinya sepertinya terus berkurang padahal mereka tidak pernah meminumnya. Anggur ini mahal dan mereka ingin menyimpannya untuk acara spesial. Yang mereka temukan adalah setiap hari jumlahnya sedikit demi sedikit berkurang. Mereka pun memutuskan untuk mengukur kekurangannya dengan membuat garis kecil pada botol, sehingga apabila memang berkurang lagi mereka bisa tahu dengan jelas. Dan setelah membuat garis tersebut, mereka menemukan memang jumlah anggur dalam botol tersebut berkurang terus setiap hari, walau sedikit demi sedikit. Mereka tidak punya tertuduh lain lagi selain sang penungg
