I've had better days. Let's just say I'm not in the greatest mood after working on a column for hours, only to see my computer crash. When it rebooted, my document was locked and when I tried to recover it...there was nothing to recover. That's why this week's Hush-Hush is a few hours late and why I'm a bit on the cranky side.
To make me feel better, I'd appreciate if you all read the wonderful other work here at 411. My own reviews of
The Hunger Games
John Carter
are up and other reviews for films out in theaters now include
Jeff Who Lives At Home,
21 Jump Street,
Friends With Kids,
Mirror Mirror,
Wrath of the Titans,
The Raid: Redemption
. We'd still write them if no no one was reading, but admittedly it's better and more worthwhile when people do. Something about a tree falling in a forest. Anyway, on with the news....
A(nother) New
Well, you can't blame them for being inconsistent. Michael Bay and his Platinum Dunes production company are in the process of buying the rights to the
franchise from The Weinstein Company/Dimension Films and are looking to make a new film in the series. According to
Bloody Disgusting,
the plans for the 3D sequel written by Todd Farmer and Patrick Lussier (
My Bloody Valentine [3D]
Drive Angry [3D]
) and was to be released by Dimension have not only been put on hold, but may end up scrapped altogether. Instead, the site is reporitng that the new movie will not be in 3D and won't utilize the "found footage" gimmick that so many other films have recently used. Nothing is set in stone, but since Farmer and Lussier seem to be out and the 3D has been shelved, there is talk that the new installment may even be...a reboot. Because that's exactly what
I've commented the last couple of weeks on what I think about Michael Bay and Platinum Dunes' vision for
In making my argument, I listed all the films Bay and Platinum Dunes have rebooted/remade, including some of the biggest franchises in all of horror. Many of their rebooted/remade versions don't come close to matching their beloved predecessors in most fans' opinions. Little did I know I'd be reporting about the production company rounding out its collection and putting the finishing touches on their own Mount Rushmore of Classic Horror Remakes. In addition to their remakes of
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Amiyville Horror, The Hitcher, Friday the 13th
A Nightmare on Elm Street,
now they get the rights to make their very own
movie. And based on what we've seen them do in the past, the odds are better than you'd think at a reboot/remake rather than a sequel.
I think it's a horrendous idea, for no other reason than the fact that the original
is virtually perfect the way it was in 1979. The film that launched a thousands slasher pictures was an instant classic at the time and it has seemingly only grown in stature as time has gone by. Then again, I'm not the biggest horror fan here on 411's staff. So I decided to get a second opinion, one I knew would be passionate and informed, from someone who I know loves his horror. Here's what resident 411 horror expert Joseph Lee (read his always excellent
A Bloody Good Time
weekly column) thinks about it:
"I really have mixed feelings about the rumored
reboot. On the one hand, Rob Zombie's take was incredibly divisive and those who hate those movies,
hate those movies. On the other, Platinum Dunes doesn't exactly have a stellar record with horror fans either. While I like the remake of
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
and the reboot of
Friday the 13th
, there are some that hate every single film they've (Platinum Dunes) ever made. Likewise with Zombie's film, I enjoyed his first take on the
story, but could take or leave the sequel, which hasn't really aged as well as I thought it might.
I think the worst part about this rumor is that Todd Farmer and Patrick Lussier, who gave us
My Bloody Valentine 3D
, would be kicked off the
Halloween 3D
sequel to make way for Marcus Nispel or some music video director. I don't understand why it's so hard for those two to find more work when
My Bloody Valentine
kicked all kinds of ass both with fans and critics, and earned a nice chunk of change to boot. Dimension didn't want them for the
remake and Platinum Dunes would likely bring in their own people if they do a new take on Michael Myers.
Then there's the question of "reboot". Are they just ignoring Zombie's films and making a stand-alone film featuring Myers? Are they going to pull an
and ignore everything but the original? Or do they plan to remake the original again. It's that last option that fills me with dread, because there wasn't a need for the first remake to begin with, even if I do enjoy it. There's definitely not a need to tell the same story three times when it was told perfectly the first time."
I couldn't have said it better myself. I don't know about everyone else, but writing this column every week and reporting on this rumored remake or that announced reboot slowly eats away at my movie-loving heart. I report and talk about them because they are the news; this is what Hollywood is doing at the moment and no property is safe from it. It seems like it's been kicked into hyperdrive in recent months and the ones that really get to me are the purported remakes of classic masterpieces that most definitely don't need it. In many ways, horror doesn't get much better than John Carpenter's
The fact that we're discussing a second potential reboot of that classic in less than a decade is depressing. Honestly, I don't even see the potential market for this. It's not like the Zombie movies set the world on fire, and as Joseph made it clear, they were incredibly divisive amongst fans. Then again, we've seen this in other genres, including a pretty big movie hitting theaters on July 3.
Do you want a new
film? Would a reboot of the original be something you'd watch? Who should Platinum Dunes get to direct/write their new
New Images From
Contrary to what some may believe, I am not showing favoritism in seemingly running a
story every week or so. It just sort of works out that way. Hey, I would not be doing my 411-appointed duty if I didn't try and cover as much as I can. Plus, they're just too awesome to ignore. Here are 15 new(ish) images from the film that have been released in hi-res form, including some official set photos featuring director Ridley Scott and his 3D RED Epic camera. As for the 3D in
(the film was shot in the format, not post-converted), Scott told
Total Film
"I'm kind of naturally visual anyway, that's where I come from. And you're working off superb 3D screens, which are on the floor, and are really big. It was just wonderful… I was shooting on 3D, then seeing it on the floor. It was easy, I must say… You only want to push it so far, before it becomes arrows popping out of the screen and stabbing you in the eye. You use it for visual effect.
"… I'm actually decided right now how deep to make [the depth of field in 'Prometheus'] on certain sequences. So you can literally, as it were, twiddle a knob, and the depth will increase. It's kind of bizarre, but there it is. Technologically it's absolutely staggering. I was working with MPC in London, looking after almost 1,300 big FX shots, and every night they would pipe through shots to a big screen in my office in Lexington Street; I would sit there watching a sequence that had just been graded or refined in perfect 3D. Really amazing."
stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Idris Elba, Rafe Spall, Sean Harris, Logan Marshall-Green, and Charlize Theron. It opens in 2D, 3D and IMAX theaters on June 8.
Total Recall
CGI-riffic Trailer
The new trailer for
Total Recall
was debuted on Sunday during the Heat-Celtics game and was received generally well by the masses. Personally, it didn't do a whole lot for me, but I might be in the minority on that one. It seemed like a lot of empty CG and the same kind of action we've seen from countless films. Obviously, it's just a trailer, but if the intention was to "wow" me, it fell short of accomplishing that. Maybe it was seeing Harold with blonde hair that threw me off. Or perhaps my brain could not handle the Kate Beckinsale-Jessica Biel one-on-one fight sequence. Mostly though, I just didn't see anything all that special and my reservations of casting remain. Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel are all attrative individuals but none are exactly high-calibre thespians. Yeah, neither was Arnold in the original. But I just look at the summer's
big sci-fi blockbuster
and I see a lot more that interests me in terms of cast (Theron, Rapace, Fassbender, Elba, Pearce), story and effects. I hope I'm pleasantly surprised by it, but to be honest, the trailer didn't quite do it for me.
That doesn't mean I won't see it when it hits theaters. It just means I was sort of let down after some of the hype had started to build. I guess maybe I was expecting something more, even though I probably shouldn't have. It reminded me a bit of the style of Wiseman's
films. I like those, but more in a B-movie kind of way, something to pass the time and watch late at night when nothing else is on. The original
Total Recall
is great trippy science fiction (Philip K. Dick stories – of which I'm a huge fan – in general are pretty out there) and this felt just a bit too shiny, a wannabe action blockbuster that looks a bit too much like a poor man's
Minority Report.
Again, I hope I'm wrong, but this trailer made it pretty clear that Wiseman and company are desperate for this to be a huge action blockbuster. That's not a terrible thing to want; it just puts a lot more pressure on it.
The official synopsis for
Total Recall
Total Recall is an action thriller about reality and memory, inspired anew by the famous short story "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" by Philip K. Dick. Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he's got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) whom he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life – real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. Finding himself on the run from the police – controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston) – there is no one Quaid can trust, except possibly a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) working for the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy). The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate.
The film is directed by Len Wiseman. The screenplay is by Kurt Wimmer and Mark Bomback and the screen story is by Ronald Shusett & Dan O'Bannon and Jon Povill. The producers are Neal H. Moritz and Toby Jaffe."
What do you think of the first trailer for the new
Total Recall?
Behind The Scenes of
The BBC
got a behind-the-scenes look at the next installment in the 007 franchise and talked with star Daniel Craig about the upcoming film and what fans should expect. The biggest bit of information from the chat that fans will care about is Craig's declaration that he would "keep going until they tell me to stop."
This is Craig's third go-round as James Bond and the star doesn't seem likely to stop anytime soon, admitting to the BBC that while he knows he'll have to give up the coveted role sometime, he's just looking at keeping the franchise rolling.
"I know there'll be someone after me, and hopefully someone after them - I'm just trying to keep [the series] going."
Craig admitted there were big expectations for "Skyfall" to be a success with the Bond franchise celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
However, he said the team were "going to put on a good show."
"We haven't been resting on our laurels, we've been plotting what to do with this film."
There has been a four-year gap between the previous film "Quantum of Solace" and the new film, as production was temporarily suspended in April 2010 due to uncertainty over MGM's future amid financial troubles.
"The first one ("Casino Royale") was a whirr – it was a new experience and flew by – the second one was the tricky second album, but this one we've really planned and got a great script.
"It's going to be different from the last one, but it will still be a great Bond movie."
The BBC reports that while some filming has taken place in Shanghai and Turkey, much of the action has now moved to the 007 stage at Pinewood studios. BBC entertainment reporter Lizo Mzimba had exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the set, and watched the "culmination of a big chase" scene on a set that recreated a London Underground station.
"Quite appropriately for the 50th anniversary Bond, a lot of the action is taking place in familiar London landmarks."
"Skyfall," is directed by Oscar-winner Sam Mendes ("American Beauty"), stars Craig, Dame Judi Dench, Javier Bardem, Albert Finney and Ralph Fiennes. It will be released in the United States on November 9th, 2012.
The Woman In Black
Gets A Sequel
After passing the $120 million mark in worldwide box office, the Daniel Radcliffe-starring horror film
The Woman in Black
appears to be
heading for a sequel
. The team behind the first film – Hammer, Alliance Films and Cross Creek Pictures – are joining up with novelist Susan Hill on the proposed story that will take place 40 years after the events of the first film.
The Woman in Black: Angels of Death
will be based on a original story from Hill that she has been working on for the past few years with a screenplay written by Jon Croker (
Desert Dancer
). There is no word on whether director James Watkins will return or if there will a role for Radcliffe.
The Woman in Black
was based on Hill's 1983 Gothic Horror novel of the same name, set in the early 1900s and detailed the story of a young lawyer who is ordered to travel to a remote corner of the U.K. to sort out the papers of a recently deceased client. In the eerie setting of Eel Marsh House he discovers the vengeful ghost of the title.
The Woman in Black: Angels of Death
will pick the story up four decades later and focus on the concept of a couple and the experience they have when they encounter the haunted setting of Eel Marsh House.
Hammer President and CEO (and vice-chairman of Hammer parent company Exclusive Media) Simon Oakes stated "We are proud and honoured to be working with Susan again on
The Woman in Black: Angels of Death,
a wonderful new tale every bit as atmospheric and terrifying as its predecessor
The Woman in Black.
Exclusive Media co-chairman Nigel Sinclair added, "It's thrilling to be able to work with someone of Susan's literary caliber on such a fascinating project. It's also fantastic to have Jon on board again to help bring this new story to life on the big screen."
This shouldn't be surprising news since the film's box office performance has made it the highest grossing British horror film of the last twenty years and was a surprising critical hit as well.
The Most Awesome Lego Set Ever
Most of us are probably too old to play with toys and LEGO sets. That wouldn't stop me from finding the nearest 6-year-old relative and joining them in some
Shaun of the Dead
LEGO fun-time. Because seriously, who wouldn't want to play with zombie LEGO pieces and acting out scenes at The Winchester.
Well thanks to Simon Pegg and a creative
Shaun of the Dead
fan with the Flickr username of Yatkuu, we are all one step to officially living in a world that can provide us with a genuine
Shaun of the Dead
LEGO set. LEGO has some fairly specific requirements to even garner consideration of a new LEGO set. Thanks to Pegg and his Twitter following, the 10,000 supporter threshold was a piece of cake. Now, the LEGO Powers That Be will meet and review what has been lovingly termed "The Winchester Project" to see if it will become an official LEGO product. It's not their usual thing, but here's hoping...since these look pretty sweet.
Here's the video of Simon Pegg discussing the

First Trailer Released For Woody Allen's
To Rome With Love
The new trailer for
To Rome With Love,
has hit and Woody Allen's new film has been given a limited release on June 22. It stars Alec Baldwin, Roberto Benigni, Penelope Cruz, Jesse Eisenberg, Greta Gerwig and Ellen Page. It follows a number of people in Italy (American and Italian, some resident and some visitors) and their romances, adventures and predicaments. I'm liking what I'm seeing so far; it looks like a much more "Woody" kind of movie than
Midnight in Paris
so take that for what you will. I'm also happy to see Woody back on screen; Allen is actually an underrated comedic performer and while he may not be the greatest actor, he never quite gets his due in that department. Plus, is Jesse Eisenberg not a perfect young Allen or what?
What do you think of
To Rome With Love's
trailer? Will it match
Midnight in Paris?
Are you happy to see Woody appearing in another of his movies?
Ender's Game
Is Up And Running
The new
production blog
Ender's Game
is now officially up and we've gotten our first official set photo:
Yeah, it's a door. But you see, that's a very special door. That, my friends, is the door to the BATTLE ROOM. It is the production team's first of what they have promised to be many looks at the film in the weeks (and presumably months) to come. It was accompanied with the following blurb from producers:
"If you think regular school is tough, try it in a rotating space station. And by the way, do you have a hall pass for hall number 0058? Because if you don't, you could end up scrubbing the showers. When you first arrive at Battle School, all you perceive is its utility, its functionality… that is until you enter the BATTLE ROOM, where there is no up, no down, and ZERO G's. Movie making can become overly reliant on digital worlds, and nothing can replace a well-built set that you can see and touch and stand in the middle of, fooling you into thinking you are really there. Enjoy this small taste of Ender's big world. We'll see a lot more in the weeks to come."
In addition to the set photo, producer (and screenwriter extraordinaire) Roberto Orci answered a number of fan queries during a recent
talkback session
some of which were collected by
Enser's Ansible:
On the filmmakers' communication and cooperation with
Ender's Game
author Orson Scott Card: "We have been in meaningful contact with Mr. Card. He is as smart as his book indicates. He has been a great resource for us in every way."
On the possibility of sequels: "Sequels are tricky. For one, we never like to count on sequels until they hatch. On the other hand, Card has written so much awesome material in this universe that there is much to figure out. Hope we get the chance."
On the film's faithfulness to the source material: "When adapting something so beloved You gotta make sure you keep the soul of it intact while doing what is necessary to translate to live action. I know that's not much of an answer, but i can tell you that we are treating the book preciously."
And finally Orci addressed his thoughts on the Ender/Speaker and Shadow books in the series:
"What are your feelings on the Shadow books and the Speaker books? Do you feel it's possible to adapt both to the screen, or do you think the latter series would be too difficult, disconnected and abstract for audiences? I'm not asking what Summit's plans for the franchise are – I just think it would be interesting to know what you think."
"Certain elements may lend themselves well to adaptation."
That last one was kind of cryptic, no? I think I'm pretty sure a studio executive somewhere out there got goosebumps and they can't think of why.
Ender's Game,
based on the award-winning novel by Card, follows a young student training in military school who may be the last hope for humanity in a futuristic war against a hostile alien race. The movie, directed by Gavin Hood, stars Asa Butterfield, Abigail Breslin, Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley, Viola Davis and Hailee Steinfeld. It has a tentative release date of March 15, 2013.

I got extremely emotional with my friends the other day because they pointed out how great my skin looks now. I used to have so much cystic acne to the point I didn't know what to do with myself. Mentally I was tired, I dealt with acne for 9 years so for amazing improvement in my skin these past couple of weeks just really make me tear up...
I suggest many ppl to try spiro before accutane. People urged me so much to try it, even my dermatologists. I'm happy I didn't...but I'm glad that I'm only using 50mg of spiro to clear my skin.
I hope whoever tries it, just waits! Even if it seems like its not working, you gotta give it at least 3 months. I almost gave up because of the initial breakout, but it worked incredibly. So please just be patient and wait!!<3 It'll be worth it.
...I really just had to express my happiness with everyone on here. I've been a lurker for a while on this site and now, I feel like my life is complete and I no longer have to worry about acne that much anymore.
Good luck everyone!!
If anyone wants a before an after picture. Don't even hesitate to ask. I'll show you how bad it was:)

About a month ago, USAA sent over Jimmie's Towing. The guy said where is it to go, they called me with an estimate. They provided excellent service, fixed my van, and parked it in my driveway. That's cool. I felt the charges were incredibly reasonable. They are young guys, but building a reputation. I haven't had an experience like that for an auto shop in my life.
BEWARE!!!! Trying to commit insurance fraud by charging $950 for 30 mile tow from our hotel to their facility. We got stuck on in flood waters while on vacation and ended up having our vehicle towed to Jimmie's. Had to get our insurance involved because they told us the engine would need to be replaced. We decided to let our insurance tow our vehicle to one of their certified shop so the repairs would be under warranty since we live 900 miles away from Clearwater. We also notice a huge scratch on the drivers side mirror that was not their before the tow. This made them very angry and they became hostile. Before they would release our vehicle they demanded $950 for the 30 mile tow from our hotel. This is crooked and criminal. They are intentionally overcharging the insurance which is fraud and is a felony. I have filed a report with the BBB, the Florida Attorney General, the Pinellas county consumer protection agency and also a dispute with our insurance. This matter is under investigation! Not smart!!! Don't use them. I was told this morning that repairpal will be removing them from their directory.

Miller (2-2) struck out six, walked a pair and scattered five hits over five frames, throwing 91 pitches to pick up the "W" five days after he held New Orleans to a run over five innings for his first Triple-A victory.
The right-hander worked into and out of trouble in the first inning when Anthony Rizzo singled to load the bases following consecutive walks to leadoff man Brett Jackson and Dave Sappelt. Miller struck out Luis Valbuena and Welington Castillo and then popped up Adrian Cardenas to escape the jam.
Miller worked a 1-2-3 second, struck out Jackson and Sappelt in the third, and, with runners on the corners in the fourth, he caught Travis Wood looking to end the frame.
Valbuena doubled with two outs in the fifth, bringing the tying run to the plate, but Rizzo popped up to third baseman Zack Cox to end the inning and Miller's afternoon.
Miller, the Cardinals' Minor League Pitcher of the Year for the past two seasons, entered his first Triple-A season as the No. 5 overall prospect in baseball and the No. 2 right-handed pitcher behind Atlanta's Julio Teheran. He's 2-2 with a 4.50 ERA with 25 strikeouts and eight walks in 18 innings.
St. Louis' first-round pick in 2009 allowed four runs in each of his first two starts, taking losses against Oklahoma City. He split the 2011 season between Class A Advanced Palm Beach and Double-A Springfield, finishing 9-3 with a 2.70 ERA in 16 starts.
Adron Chambers, Ryan Jackson and Bryan Anderson drove in the runs for Memphis on Tuesday, while Travis Wood (1-2) allowed two runs -- one earned -- and struck out eight over six innings to suffer the loss for the Cubs. Wood was acquired with Sappelt during the offseason from the Reds in the deal that sent Sean Marshall to Cincinnati.

"Bureau of Utility crews cleared the line within an two hours of the initial report," it states. The report was logged at 7:44 p.m. and occurred just south of Big Buck Drive.

Pads pop on Day 5 of Bucs Training Camp as the team was in full gear for just the second time. Linebacker Lavonte David delivers the biggest blow in the backfield, taking down Doug Martin.
"First couple days in pads just trying to get the feel," David said. "Trying to get back in tune with it."
Less than a week into camp and it's the defense that appears to be ahead of the offense, which is normal. During the red zone passing period, Josh Freeman beat double coverage hitting Mike Williams in the back of the end zone, But on 13 plays, only three crossed the goal line.
"There are a lot of great players over there (on offense)," said Middle Linebacker Mason Foster. "Everybody is making plays. It's good to see everybody compete at a high level. It makes everybody better."
The most excitement happens during the last practice period, a game situation. Bucs trail 21-18 with less than two minutes to play. Josh Freeman leads his team on an 11-play drive. He converts on 4th down to Chris Owusu to keep the drive going.
Then hits Mike Williams to set up Derek Dimke from from long distance. With the clock running out, the Bucs free agent kicker splits the uprights. How far was it?
"I actually don't know," Dimke said. "It was on Bonzai situation. We just run out on the field and kick it. I don't know."
"The guys give me a great snap and a great hold. So I was just fortunate to be out there in that opportunity."
Head Coach Greg Schiano liked a lot on the drive.
"A good completion there on the 4th down play," Schiano said. "Certainly a good competition to Mike (Williams) there to put us in field goal range."
With the tying field goal coming as the game clock expired, everyone had their eyes on the goal post. So when it went through, no one bothered to take a look at where the line of scrimmage was.
"You know it was a Bonzai, hurray up situation," said Schiano. "Probably like 53 or 54."
"I don't know how far that one was," said Dimke. "It was good. The ball flies down here in Florida really well."
It's a perfect finish to practice heading into their first break of camp. The Bucs are off on Tuesday.

Vitacost.com Is The Amazon Of Whole Foods
Eric is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Online supplement seller Vitacost.com (NASDAQ: VITC) expanded its health food offerings to attract shoppers who want Whole Foods Market (NASDAQ: WFM) quality without paying Whole Foods' prices. Carlotta Mast, at New Hope 360, reported that Vitacost.com announced a plan to become the Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) of Whole Foods. Vitacost.com and Whole Foods both sell health food, so that part of the analogy works. A look at Vitacost.com's financials shows a company more like online discounter Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) than Wal-Mart, though. Vitacost.com and Amazon.com's business models work well enough together that the retailers already teamed up to sell health food online. As an online retailer that could disrupt the hot health food sector, Vitacost.com is worth a look.
Low Price Strategy
Vitacost.com's operating margin definitely makes the online supplement seller look more like Amazon.com than Wal-Mart or Whole Foods. Amazon.com's aggressive discounts result in a .9% operating margin. Vitacost.com goes a step further with its discounts, running in the red with a -6.3% operating margin. Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage, (NYSE: NGVC) another rapidly growing small cap supermarket that sells health food and vitamins, reported a 3.9% operating margin. Wal-Mart has a much stronger 5.9% operating margin itself, while Whole Foods reports a 6.4% figure. Vitacost.com's competitors do have economy of scale advantages to consider; although Vitacost.com could gain additional economy of scale benefits if these discounts result in more rapid growth.
Rapid Growth
Discounts already helped Vitacost.com achieve a high growth rate recently. In its latest quarter, 3Q 2012, Vitacost.com reported $82.2 million revenue, a 29.6% gain over 3Q 2011. Health food's popularity definitely helped here, but Vitacost.com also managed to beat other health food stores' figures. Whole Foods reported 23.6% quarterly revenue growth for 4Q 2012. Vitacost.com also surpassed Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage, which reported 28.3% quarterly revenue growth for 4Q 2012. Vitacost.com even beat Amazon.com's 26.9% 3Q quarterly revenue growth figure.
Balance Sheet
Vitacost.com does have some cash reserves to sustain its expansion strategy, as the company reported $35 million cash and zero long term debt. Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage earns profits, but its $3.3 million cash balance and $26.4 million long term debt still come out worse than Vitacost.com's figures. Whole Foods' $1.22 billion cash hoard greatly surpasses these smaller grocers though, and its $24 million long term debt isn't an issue. With $5.25 billion cash and zero long term debt, Amazon.com wins the balance sheet comparison with the grocers easily.
Amazon.com Partnership
Vitacost.com lists web visibility as a risk factor in its 2011 annual report, but the online grocer did find one way to reduce its dependence on traffic from Google, by setting up an Amazon.com storefront. Shoppers who visit Amazon.com directly can find Vitacost.com because of the web retailers' partnership, which reduces Vitacost.com's need to buy ads on other advertising channels.
Vine.com and the Vitacost.com storefront at Amazon.com do offer many products from the same health food suppliers, such as Annie's Homegrown and Hain Celestial. Amazon.com could use its size to negotiate better deals with third party health food suppliers and undercut Vitacost.com on price, although Vitacost.com gains some security from its private label brands. Vitacost.com's annual report mentions that its own brands provided 23% of its 2011 sales, including organic food sales from its Best of All brand and organic juice sales from its Smart Basics brand.
Amazon.com's Vine.com launch shows that Vitacost.com's approach has potential. Web companies in other sectors, like the online jewelry seller Blue Nile, realized that brick and mortar stores remain vulnerable to price competition. Vitacost.com also made a good decision when it made a deal with Amazon.com, since the online retail giant shares many of Vitacost.com's strengths and has less vulnerability on price than physical grocers. An investment in Vitacost.com could take a while to pay off, but Amazon.com has demonstrated that investors will invest for the long term if a company has an appealing long term plan.

Ok so my roommate invited me to go to a bluegrass concert. I'm always to try new experiences so I said Ok why not? We end up driving way out into the middle of the forest/swamp onto a remote farm way outside of town. I'm thinking how does anyone know this is here, but we keep driving. We finally get there and I pay for my ticket to get inside. Everything looks pretty normal. There are little kids playing and everyone is just chilling drinking beer. Looks like a normal concert. They start a big bonfire as the sun goes down and it helps to warm the cold night. The bands start and although its not my thing they sounded pretty good. There was even a really great singer that performed too. She wasn't that bad looking either. Anyways after the bands stop performing most of the people go home. My roommate was planning on just camping out for the night and since I had already had a few beers I figured I'd just stay too. I mean these people look pretty normal
Well once most of the less hardcore fans were gone the true bluegrass people came out I guess you could say. They started forming circles doing little rituals and I'm pretty sure they were doing drugs. I even had some guy (lets call him jack) ask me if I had any mushrooms. I told Jack no I didn't and he was like ok If I find any I'll let you know and told him no that is ok you keep them and he replied cool man. I went back over to my roommate and was talking with some people that I kind of knew. They were a lot of fun and I ended up talking to a guy about hunting and fishing since he was a ranger. I felt a little more relaxed and drank a few more beers.
The next thing I knew my roommate was talking to some guy in an old vietnam jacket. I went over to see what they were talking about. We ended up talking about mostly history and some astronomy. I was taking an astronomy course at the time and so the conversation wasn't that bad. Well the guy had a few more beers and then I came to realize this guy wasn't as normal as I thought. Turned out he was an extreme liberal. He thought the government was out to get him and started talking about conspiracy theories. I just kept smiling and nodding thinking I could be at a bar talking to some girl right now, not fearing for my life in the middle of nowhere. My roommate finally took the hint that I didn't want to be talking to this guy either and so we both excused ourselves, but he wouldn't stop talking so we both said we had to use the restroom and left. Most of the people were asleep by now and there were some people playing some guitar by the fire. I was freezing so I went to join them with my roommate and their friends. The rest of the night went pretty normal and we set up tent.
The next morning I got into my car and started driving off. And who would you know would be chasing after me, but good old Jack. He needed a ride back to town so I figured what was the worst that could happen right? I mean he looks unarmed and didn't look suicidal or anything so I said sure. We start driving down the road and he is asking questions and I'm answering as generic as much as I could. Oddly enough he ends up being in college, I figured he was in high school. Well I am in the middle of asking him specific directions to his apartment when he just stops talking. I look over and see he is absolutely out. I mean I am yelling, pushing him, shaking the car violently, and I even tried screaming OH MY GOD and slamming on the brake nothing only thing that happened was his head slammed against the window a few times. So I am freaking out thinking this guy is dead. I don't want to check his vitals, because frankly I didn't him waking up and finding me grabbing his throat. Not really something you want to be explaining to the cops.
So I know the general area where he lives so I just drive there figuring if worse comes to worse I could drop him off at the hospital or something. Well I get really close to the area he said he lived and I tried waking him up again nothing. I park in the parking lot and am just about to dial 911 and have an ambulance come pick him up when he wakes up asks where he is immediately mumbles something and then goes back to sleep. I think wtf? So I just drive and am repeating is this the right direction? He finally wakes up says I passed it so i turn around and he tells me where to pull into. I stop at the front of the complex and put it in park. He looks at me gets out and starts to look for his apartment complex and I swore to never do that again.

New York – September 15: (L to R) Actress Jessica Alba and Narciso Rodriguez backstage at the Narciso Rodriguez Spring 2010 fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Bryant Park on September 15, 2009 in New York, New York.
Why do women love Narciso Rodriguez? Mostly because his designs are elegant, never fussy, and sexy without being va-va-voom. Rodriguez' designs always allow the woman to wear them, rather than the other way around. For Spring 2010, Rodriguez showed a catwalk full of silk and linen, mostly simple in shape, but many with hems longer in back, shorter in front – a sort of mini train that is not intended to touch the ground, but flutter seductively. In this collection, Rodriguez left the complexity in subtle touches like the back of a dress pieced together and stitched in geometric shapes.
Narciso Rodriguez' front row included Jessica Alba, Emmy Rossum, and Tori Burch, who soaked up the sexy atmosphere that included frankly sexy jumpsuits, simple shift dresses, and the occasional bubble dress. Rodriguez is no longer in a partnership with Liz Claiborne, Inc., and it appeared that he took the opportunity to revel in his freedom with his Spring 2010 collection.

Three teens are facing charges for breaking into a home on Shorecliff Drive in Greece.
Justice J. Issac, 17, and Mark A. Berry, 16, both of Greece, and Miguel R. DeJesus, 17, of Rochester, are charged with second-degree burglary, third-degree grand larceny and third-degree criminal mischief.
Police were called to a home on Shorecliff Drive Thursday for a call of a burglary in progress. When they arrived, they found the teens a short distance from the home.
The teens were arraigned and sent to the Monroe County Jail. Police are crediting the arrest to an alert citizen who saw something suspicious and called 911.

Opportunity for faith, fun available to youth of diocese at camps
By KATIE LEFEBVRE, Globe staff reporter
CAYOCA is the Catholic Youth Camp offered by the Diocese of Sioux City. It provides the camp experience and is an opportunity for youth to meet people from all over the diocese.
"It is important for them to have this option," said Bower. "This is an opportunity for them to grow closer to Christ and learn more about their Catholic faith. It is a great experience. It is fun to see how the kids react to the speakers and how well they behave at Mass."
Camp CAYOCA
Camp CAYOCA is held at Twin Lakes Christian Center near Manson. This year's theme will be "I am the door; if any one enters by me, he will be saved" (John 10:9).
"It is the Year of Faith so we wanted to pull from that theme," said Bower. "The pope's document on the Year of Faith starts out with the door of faith. We wanted to use that imagery because it is really accessible to kids."
"We have awesome volunteers who help out every year," said Bower. "When students arrive at camp they are welcomed by adults who are helping and volunteering. We have great program assistants who also help."
The campers will have a small group and a cabin group. The students participate in ice breakers and write rules for their cabins.
Days at camp are spent going to workshops that are based on the theme of camp, participating in reconciliation and adoration, going to Mass and spending free time exploring Twin Lakes – swimming, rock climbing, etc.
This year a musician, Patrick Williams from Georgia, is being hired to provide music for morning prayer, adoration, Mass and other parts of camp.
"We are really excited about this," said Martin. "We are hoping he will collaborate with the band that usually plays a concert during CAYOCA."
Williams travels around the country playing for various youth events. Martin found out about him through the Theology of the Body Institute.
"This is a special opportunity for us," said Martin. "It will only enhance the experience at camp."
Program assistants, adult small group leaders, workshop presenters, leader team members and camp medics are needed for both sessions of camp.
"If your child is going to camp for the first time and you want to spend that time with them, you are more than welcome," said Bower. "No prior camp experience is necessary for volunteers. I would really encourage parents and people who haven't been to camp in a while or have never been to camp to volunteer. We would really love to have them. It is great to see new faces."
Martin said Camp CAYOCA is nearing 30 years in the diocese and it has been "continually staffed by volunteers. I don't think we could have had it without the volunteers."
Early bird registration, by April 1, is $220 per camper. After April 1 the cost is $235 per camper.
Totus Tuus Camp
Diocesan students entering 9th through 12th grade and 2013 graduates will have the opportunity to attend Totus Tuus Camp this summer at Twin Lakes Christian Center.
"Because the Camp CAYOCA program has been so strong in our diocese, a lot of people who attended camp, in elementary or middle school, kind of miss it," said Bower. "Even though they come back to volunteer, this is something we can give them, so they can continue to have that camp opportunity and grow themselves."
Campers will spend time listening to talks given by the Totus Tuus teachers, attending Mass and adoration and participating in several camp activities. The first day, July 28, will focus on "Opening the Door of Faith" and July 29 will focus on "Answering the Call."
"High schoolers can come for one of the days or stay overnight and attend both," said Bower. "It is a fun way for our Totus Tuus teachers to interact with the high school students. If the high school students are thinking about ever being a Totus Tuus teacher, it is a good opportunity to talk to the teachers and hear their stories."
Cost for Camp Totus Tuus is $30 for one day or $75 for both days, which includes meals and lodging for those who choose to participate both days.
For more information, contact Judy Forrest at (712) 233-7520 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Information and registration forms can be found at www. scdiocese.org/TTcamp.

Truck overloaded with hazardous computer waste on the way to scrapping yards.
Landfill: According to the EPA, more than 4.6 million tons of e-waste ended up in U.S. landfills in 2000. Toxic chemicals in electronics products can leach into the land over time or are released into the atmosphere, impacting nearby communities and the environment. In many European countries, regulations have been introduced to prevent electronic waste being dumped in landfills due to its hazardous content. However, the practice still continues in many countries. In Hong Kong, for example, it is estimated that 10-20 percent of discarded computers go to landfill.
Incineration: This releases heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and mercury into the air and ashes. Mercury released into the atmosphere can bioaccumulate in the foodchain, particularly in fish - the major route of exposure for the general public. If the products contain PVC plastic, highly toxic dioxins and furans are also released. Brominated flame retardants generate brominated dioxins and furans when e-waste is burned.
Reuse: A good way to increase a product's lifespan. Many old products are exported to developing countries. Although the benefits of reusing electronics in this way are clear, the practice is causing serious problems because the old products are dumped after a short period of use in areas that are unlikely to have hazardous waste facilities.
Recycle: Although recycling can be a good way to reuse the raw materials in a product, the hazardous chemicals in e-waste mean that electronics can harm workers in the recycling yards, as well as their neighbouring communities and environment.
In developed countries, electronics recycling takes place in purpose-built recycling plants under controlled conditions. In many EU states for example, plastics from e-waste are not recycled to avoid brominated furans and dioxins being released into the atmosphere. In developing countries however, there are no such controls. Recycling is done by hand in scrap yards, often by children.
Export: E-waste is routinely exported by developed countries to developing ones, often in violation of the international law. Inspections of 18 European seaports in 2005 found as much as 47 percent of waste destined for export, including e-waste, was illegal. In the United States, it is estimated that 50-80 percent of the waste collected for recycling is being exported in this way. This practice is legal because the United States has not ratified the Basel Convention.
Mainland China tried to prevent this trade by banning the import of e-waste in 2000. However, we have discovered that the laws are not working; e-waste is still arriving in Guiya of Guangdong Province, the main center of e-waste scrapping in China.
We have also found a growing e-waste trade problem in India. Twenty-five thousand workers are employed at scrap yards in Delhi alone, where 10,00 - 20,000 tons of e-waste is handled each year, 25 percent of this being computers. Other e-waste scrap yards have been found in Meerut, Ferozabad, Chennai, Bangalore and Mumbai.
How did the trade evolve?
In the 1990s, governments in the EU, Japan and some U.S. states set up e-waste "recycling" systems. But many countries did not have the capacity to deal with the sheer quantity of e-waste they generated or with its hazardous nature.
Therefore, they began exporting the problem to developing countries where laws to protect workers and the environment are inadequate or not enforced. It is also cheaper to "recycle" waste in developing countries; the cost of glass-to-glass recycling of computer monitors inthe United States is 10times more than in China.
Demand in Asia for electronic waste began to grow when scrap yards found they could extract valuable substances such as copper, iron, silicon, nickel and gold, during the recycling process. A mobile phone, for example, is 19 percent copper and eight percent iron.
Chemical industry lobbyists, corporate CEOs, and politicians are hijacking chemical security and keeping 100 million Americans at risk of a poison gas disaster.

Listen to the THE 100 Under 50 world university rankings podcast: Chris Parr talks to THE rankings editor Phil Baty and reporter Jack Grove about the results as South Korea claims two of the top three spots, the UK continues to perform well, and there are signs of progress for Spain, France and Australia.
The Times Higher Education 100 Under 50 is a ranking of the top 100 universities under 50 years old. It provides a glimpse into the future, showcasing not those institutions with centuries of history, but the rising stars which show great potential. The table employs the same 13 separate indicators as the World University Rankings, but the methodology has been carefully re-calibrated to reflect the special characteristics of younger universities, giving less weight to subjective indicators of academic reputation.

A Glendale Police officer who was responding to a call with lights and sirens on was hit by an SUV Friday night.
Police say that the police unit was heading southbound on 67th Ave and negotiating a red light when it was struck by a black SUV going eastbound on Union Hills.
The driver of the SUV apparently didn't see the police unit.
"His patrol vehicle emergency overhead lights were activated as he approached and came to a stop at the intersection. Utilizing his patrol vehicle siren, the officer entered the intersection. An SUV... entered the intersection at the approximately the same time traveling eastbound on Union Hills Drive. As a result, the two vehicles collided," stated Glendale Police Officer Tracey Breeden.
There were three people in the SUV -- an adult male driver, adult female passenger, and a child -- and one person was transported with minor injuries. The officer was also transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
The intersection is closed for the investigation.
Speed and impairment do not appear to be factors in the collision, Breeden added.

Any Joy for the Coal Sector?
Lee is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
It's been a tough year for coal related stocks and I think this is likely to continue. You could spend a huge amount of time pouring over every facet of coal related stocks operational metrics or evaluation compared to historical numbers and none of it would matter in the slightest. In my humble opinion, there are two things that will drive the sector. The first is sentiment over US coal production and the second is China's fixed asset investment. Neither of which are particularly strong right now. In summary, I think tough times remain ahead.
Joy Global's Latest Results
Mining machinery play Joy Global (NYSE: JOY) gave results recently and they weren't particularly positive. Legacy sales were up 10.6% but the real story is with the bookings. Underground mining machinery bookings were down 25.5% and surface mining equipment orders fell 38.5%. These numbers are hardly surprising given the drop in capital expenditures announced by leading coal miners such as Alpha Natural Resources (NYSE: ANR) or Arch Coal (NYSE: ACI). Both companies have cut back investment in the face of rising coal stockpiles and the onslaught of shale gas. Only last week mining giant BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP) announced plans to cut back $50 billion from planned investments including delaying the expansion of a huge coal mining project in Australia.
With regards to the US, natural gas prices have fallen and gas is taking market share from coal in terms of electricity production. In terms of China, the slowdown is due to the weaker economic growth and, in particular, slowing fixed asset investment.
The question that investors need to answer is whether these cutbacks are a natural part of a cycle which will see coal stockpiles run down and demand rise again or part of a sustained downturn.
US Coal Demand
The demand for coal in the US largely comes from its use in electricity generation. The calculation is simple. As long as the shale investment boom is in place and natural gas prices are falling, then coal will be pressured. Throw in emissions regulations (coal is known as the dirty fuel) and you have the perfect recipe for declining demand.
That much is known, but how best to monitor developments?
I think a good way would be to look at what the Association of American Railroads is reporting in terms of coal rail carloads. Unfortunately, what they are saying isn't pretty. US coal carloads were down 6.7% in the last reported data and on a cumulative basis in 2012 they are down 9.3%.
On a more positive note, natural gas prices have perked up a bit lately and according to Joy Global, coal has taken back some share in power generation. However, longer term the structural decline looks set and it's hard to see coal making a comeback. We are still in the early stages of technological advances in shale gas technology and I would bet on its advancement worldwide rather than on coal.
China's Fixed Asset Investment
Joy Global gave some interesting 'color' on China by pointing out that coal stockpiles in the main transfer point (Qinhuangdao) have come down 25% since early July. In addition, electricity demand seems to have picked up in the first month of the third quarter. Put together, coal prices have stabilized a bit in China. This is the good news.
The bad news is that the economic data on China has gradually weakened and those (including myself) that are very concerned about the bursting of a housing bubble have plenty more datasets to worry about.
For example, according to the official statistics, industrial profits actually decreased from January to July. Chinese manufacturing PMI is now at a multi-month low and the new orders component is at 49, which indicates a recession. As for the crucial construction sector, the land area being purchased by real estate developers recently declined by 24% on a yearly basis. Not a good sign.
Frankly, everything we have learned about property bubbles in the last 30 years from countries as far afield as the UK, US, Dubai Spain or Sweden suggests that they do not correct themselves quickly and without pain. I see no reason why China will not be same. Moreover a lot of hope is being pinned on China's ability to stimulate the economy via spending. I am not so sure and have discussed some of the issues in an article linked here.
Where Next for the Coal Plays?
As discussed above, there are some reasons to believe that in coal prices have hit a temporary bottom and some better looking news will likely tempt investors into the stocks. However, I won't be one of them.
The challenges are structural in the US and I'm skeptical about China being able to return to previous growth rates in coal production. Coal is an industry that is going to have to deal with ongoing structural challenges and it may pay to be cautious here.

Are you totally obsessed with pumpkin like I am?! I don't know what it is about this tasty gourd……but as soon as there is a chill in the air I start to CRAVE pumpkin!
Last year I shared Pumpkin Spice Lattes we like to make at home, Vanilla Pumpkin Cupcakes (HUGE favorite among family and friends), my Grandpa's Layered Walnut Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Cream Cheese, Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies, Pumpkin Pancakes and Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins.
This year coming up with some new pumpkin recipes to try was easy….there are TONS of great pumpkin recipes all over blogville!
- Amber's Pumpkin Empanadas
- Robin's Pumpkin Creme Brulee
- Pumpkin Granola from Two Peas and Their Pod
- Shaina's Struesel Pumpkin Bread
- Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts from Joy the Baker
Is that pumpkin overload for you? lol
Well, earlier this month I picked up the Betty Crocker Fall Baking magazine….the one with the one and only Bakerella on the cover! After an hour of drooling over every recipe in the book, the girls and I all agreed the first thing we were going to make was the Pumpkin Whoopie Pies.
We had never had Whoopie Pies before, but we just knew we needed to try them. And Betty Crocker makes them so easy with this great recipe!
Not all that pretty………but they sure are delicious!
- 1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker® sugar cookie mix
- 1 tablespoon Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
- 1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 2/3 cup marshmallow creme (from 7-oz jar)
- 1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 2/3 cup C&H powdered sugar
- Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, stir together cookie mix and flour. Add remaining cookie ingredients; stir until stiff dough forms.
- Onto ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by 36 rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart. Lightly press tops with floured fingertips to flatten slightly.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
- In medium bowl, beat filling ingredients with electric mixer until light and fluffy. For each whoopie pie, spread about 2 teaspoons of the filling on bottom of 1 cooled cookie. Top with second cookie, bottom side down; gently press together. Store tightly covered in refrigerator. Sprinkle with additional powdered sugar just before serving.
