"Clone Wars" director Genndy Tartakovsky is set to take on the new animated family comedy "Hotel Transylvania" about a vacation resort run by the count himself. But wait, he's also a dad! Adam Sandler, who is somewhat tolerable, will play Dracula, Kevin James, who is not tolerable, will play Frankenstein and Fran Drescher who is just lovely will play his bride.
Speaking of Dracula, Asia Argento, who is Dario Argento's daughter and therefore bat shit insane, has posted a bunch of pictures on her twitter account from the set of "Dracula 3D". The film is a new retelling of the classic vampire story by said bat shit insane girl's father. And if the pictures bore you there's some other ones from her recent vacation to Colonial Williamsburg. I assume.
Dimension Films has picked up the rights to Kyle Kurpinski and Terry D. Johnson's sci-fi book "How to Defeat Your Own Clone" with the plans of adapting it for the big screen. The book, which is something of a handbook, is a comedic romp into the world of what to do when the machines rise up and try to destroy us all. Which I think was suppose to happen a few weeks ago. Little late with the advice, fellas.
A new poster for the upcoming Daniel Craig flick "Dream House" has hit the tubes and it's kind of bad ass. Mostly because it's got Daniel Craig in it and he could take all of us in a fight. Well I'm guessing he could. I don't know who's reading this. If The Rock is reading this I don't think he could take you. Also I'd like to hang out with you if that's possible.
I assume most 14 year old girls dream of waking up and finding a pony in their front lawn but here's a story about one who woke up to find a naked 34 year old man in her bed. I can't imagine any 14 year old girl dreams about that. If they do you should probably get them some help.
And here's a fun story about a Mexican prisoner who tried to smuggle himself out of prison by hiding in his girlfriend's suitcase. Yes there's a picture and yes it's adorable.
Richard Norton, and Australian actor you've probably never heard of but is frightening as hell, has signed on to play a number roles in the upcoming Mad Max film titled "Fury Road". Most notably he'll take on the Toecutter role, aka the main bad guy in the movie and this seems fitting because he looks like he eats puppies for fun.
They're still putting Michael Cera in movies? Super! Anywho! "Magic, Magic" has nothing to do with the card game virgins play (sorry Mark) and everything to do with a girl who starts to lose her mental faculties on a remote Chili island and not only stars Cera but Emily Browning, Juno Temple and Catalina Sandino Moreno. Three women who I assume are very nice but have names that sound like they would have ignored me in High School so in turn hate this movie and everyone in it.
Thomas Kretschmann, who's been in a bunch of movies I've never seen, has signed on to play the lead in the upcoming Dario Argento version of "Dracula". Of course seeing that this is an Argento flick god knows what the "lead role" means. I'd normally guess Dracula but for Argento the lead character could be a mule that has orgies with supermodels on the beach. Which, now that I see it typed out actually sounds like an awesome movie. Oh and it's going to be in 3D!
Looks like the apocalypse has come a few days early because "Monsters 2" has been announced. The sequel will follow 2 brothers as they find each other in a world filled with crappy CGI monsters that like to dry hump in front of gas stations (if you saw the first one you're wetting yourself right now). At the very least this will give me a reason to use the world "mumblecore" again.
Here's something new. A woman from Saudi Arabia is being charged with committing a hate crime against us American folks in Florida. The young lass apparently took out her anger about how American's are treating her people by spitting on people at the local Walmart. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to be upset about this or not so I'm just going to say someone involved in this got what they deserved but I'm not saying who.
Didn't I just read about a woman doing this in Florida last week? Sounds familiar. Well here's a man in Florida who is being charged after exposing himself to students waiting at a school bus stop. What the hell is going on in Florida where people can't keep their clothes on around bus stops? Do I have to move there to find out? I'll do it!
Surprise, surprise, I'm writing about another Italian horror film. Seriously though, this is the one. Trust me.
"Pineapple Express" director David Gordon Green is plotting the much talked about remake of the Dario Argento wunderkind "Suspiria" as his next birthing. Green is excited to hop on the project but sees his retelling leaving behind the ballet theme for a girl's boarding school setting. And I am seeing this as more of a hardcore porn flick but truth be told if I was allowed to remake movies 99% of them would turn out that way.
Khalid Laith and Razane Jammal have both signed on to play roles in the upcoming Tobe Hooper flick "Djinn" which focuses on a couple who finds their luxury apartment is inhabited by some sort of demon type thing that plays tricks or something. I have no idea who either of these guys are but I would never admit that though because I'd be too afraid that it sounds racist. Oh boy, I've said too much. Really need to get that backspace key fixed.
Along with 37 other movies it sounds like mancrush Neil Marshall is also working on an alien invasion movie set during World War 2. That's about all the details that have been discussed on this one but I've always wanted to post something about Hitler getting some sort of anal probing so let's hope something along those lines makes it into the movie.
On the heels of the release date for "Piranha 3DD" being pushed to a November 23rd Joel Soisson has been brought in to produce the flick along with fixing the script. I have no idea how you could screw up a script that probably goes something like "girl takes off top, fish eats girl, repeat" but what the hell do I know. Maybe throw in a "nude girl swims with other nude girl to weird music". Wait that's been done? I'll never make it in this town.
What's the best way to solve an argument about a dog that keeps crapping in your yard? Gunfight! I'm not even sure why you had to ask. Of course I have no idea why the two Mississippi men were shooting at each other when the dog is the one doing the crapping.
2,500 rubber ducks have been stolen from an Illinois police station. The ducks were intended for a... wait a second wasn't Bloody Good Horror's own Mark in Illinois this past weekend? You suspect, son!
Rutger Hauer has landed the role of vampire hunter Van Helsing in upcoming Dario Argento film "Dracula 3D". That combined with his role in "Hobo With a Shotgun" has made Hauer the hottest new item in Hollywood. You'll see him on the cover of Bop! and Tiger Beat next month. The girls are going gaga for him.
Rob Zombie recently sat down to discuss his next project titled "Lords of Salem" saying it's the "bleakest of all my films". He goes on to state that the "Blob" remake is no longer happening with him at least and that he won't be touching another remake for a while. Seems he's found there's no real winning with horror fans when it comes to remakes. Kind of makes us sounds like jerks, which is true but still it doesn't have to be said. I have feelings too, Rob!
Australia seems like a happy fun loving place with their Kangaroos and Vegemite but I'm here to tell you they're a bunch of sickos. Case in point is the trailer for the new flick "Bad Behavior" which has a kind of "Clockwork Orange" type vibe to it. Meaning if "Clockwork Orange" had a bald fat man vomiting blood on a women, which I'm 99% sure it didn't.
With its release being only a year away we're all getting really excited for "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters". Did I mention it's going to be in 3D? Anyway Ingrid Bolsø Berdal is the latest witch to be cast in the flick and I assume that means she will in fact be hunted. Of course she should be hunted in real life also, never trust anyone with one of those o's with a line in it in their name. 9 times out of 10 they're complete pricks.
A town in Australia (I told you they're nuts) has decided to kick out 22,000 grey headed flying foxes, aka giant freakin bats, from the national botanical gardens. Where the bats will go no one really knows but I hope it isn't into my apartment complex. We just got rid of our possum problem.
A family in Egypt has gone all out with their love for social networking by naming their newborn baby Facebook. This sounds adorable now but just thing of how pissed this kid would have been if he was born 10 years ago and was walking around named Friendster.
Here's a new one! The gang promoting "Paranormal Activity 2" have set up a phone number that you can call and listen to some spooky fun. Which is awesome because normally I have to pay $2.99 a minute to have a women fake being frightened for her life. Don't judge.
If you love "Glee", and who doesn't, then there's a solid chance you love "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". Well I have good news for you, kid who is overweight but still wears shirts two sizes to small! Ryan Murphy, the creator of "Glee" has just wrapped an entire episode devoted to the camp classic and is in talks to possibly do a remake. Good, I haven't been assaulted by a tranny coming out of a late night movie in years.
Adrien Brody has taken legal action to try an stop the release of the Dario Argento film "Giallo". Apparently Brody had never watched any of Argento's other films and when he picked up the script said out loud, "No way could this be a pile of crap, people love this guy. Sign me up!". You made your bed big nose, now lie in it with the weird Italian model who can barley speak English but for some reason plays the staring role.
A Mexico City borough recently created a 230-foot-long enchilada to warm it's way into my heart and the Guinness book of world records. I think this officially puts Mexico on the map as a world super power. I'm not sure what the criteria is to get into that group but it has to have something to do with making giant food.
1987 - The stock market crashed as the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 508 points, or 22.6 percent in value - its second biggest percentage drop.
Another 3D poster is available for your mind to be blown by for "Saw 3D" and this one has me a little confused. Are they saying that Jigsaw/John is some sort of Mega-Robot that's going to destroy us all? Man what an awesome twist that would be.
There's a new English sub-titled trailer for "Troll Hunter" available and I couldn't be more excited about it. Truth be told I didn't know the other trailers weren't in English but sometimes I get so excited about Trolls I black out. It happens.
There's a new trailer/interview with Dario Argento for his upcoming "Dracula 3D" out on the tubes. The thing kind of looks like his home videos from his summer trip to some spooky castles and by all accounts that may actually be true. I wonder if he hits Disneyworld, I'd love to see him on It's a Small World.
It's like I'm looking into my future. A 3 year old's birthday party ended abruptly recently when a beer soaked brawl broke out. God I can't wait to ruin my kid's memories like this someday.
1993 - A magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck southern India, killing an estimated 10,000 people.
Ethics and movie reviewing can be uneasy bedfellows. I think this is mostly because we all start developing tastes well before we start in depth critical thinking about the construction and overall effectiveness of the films we watch. And though all of us may try to fall back on some techniques of objective critique, it can be difficult to apply what you know about film theory to a film like John Mikl Thor's "Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare". That said we all have some thumbnail idea about what makes a film worthy and rules that help us to determine that.
A young girl enters an old Roman apartment building in the middle of the night. The lobby is empty and the elevator is broken. She starts cautiously up the stairs and the lights go out. She continues onward with only the glow from her cigarette lighter to guide her through the darkness. At the top of the stairs a killer lies in wait… Not the most original sounding set up for a kill sequence. However, any material in the hands of Dario Argento is bound to come out sideways, backwards or upside down and it will inevitably be much more interesting than a simple synopsis would suggest.
Here's the official English language trailer for Dario Argento's "Giallo". The film, written by Jim Agnew and Sean Keller, is an homage to the subgenre which it takes its name from, and stars Elsa Patakay and Oscar winner Adrienne Brody.
This is Argento's first film since "Mother of Tears", a curiously awful movie that has made me wonder if Argento hasn't completely lost the magic he once had as a horror director. I'm not sure this trailer has my hopes up, but maybe that's the way to go into Argento films from now on. Keep the expectations low and hope he returns to form.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

Tin Hat: Linux with Paranoia
Tin Hat, a Linux distribution based on hardened Gentoo, has been released in version 20090727.
Developers have updated the Glibc to version 2.9 and built the distro from GCC 4.3.3 sourcecode whereby the "-fstack-protector-all" flag was used, apart from with Glibc and Evilution which used the "-fstack-protector".
The kernel has been tweaked up to version 2.6.28-hardened-r9, and around 90 software packages received an update from Upstream-Gentoo. For example: Postfix to version 2.5.7, Firefox to 3.0.11 and Portage to 22.214.171.124. A complete list of changes for both amd64 and i686 can be found on the projects webpage.
Tin Hat boots from CD or pendrive and unpacks compressed files directly into RAM, making it slow to boot but quick to use, promise the makers. Needing up to 4 Gbyte of RAM, the unusual methodology is designed to leave no trace of data on the motherboard. Further information and images to download is available at the Tin Hat homepage.

Lunchbreak sketch from a few days ago. Figured a fresh post would be nice.
More ideas for using the two vintage Indian silk saris that arrived yesterday. This particular one I ordered as I liked these scalloped stripes on the pallu of the sari. I could see pinking them out and using them on an 1850s bone folder in a telegram-type treatment. The idea in using these on nineteenth-century frames would be that the finished product would say "I'm a woven en disposition silk cover from the 1850s" rather than saying "Hi, I'm a sari fabric." But who knows.
A quick sketch of what Anna's parasol probably looked like when new - save for the tassels, which when I did this I didn't KNOW that they were originally ivory, but - you know - details, details.
Sketch for an eventual pen-and-ink-and-watercolor "sampler" type idea that I want to do for my own place. It's Regretsy-inspired. It was also freehand, so that accounts for the slight wonkiness and perhaps, inconsistencies in the ornamentation within the letters themselves.
Govern yourself accordingly.
I randomly thought of this movie today - and remembered I had this crappy-fast sketch I did a while back. I want to revisit this quote later.
How much sense does it make to post an unfinished sketch? Eh?
Sketch for an alternate idea on the mid-nineteenth century smoking cap reinterpreted as menswear, done at about the same time as the Philadelphia Cap. This one's a bit… more ridiculous, but a take on the segmented construction seen on some examples - done together in four to eight sections, almost constructed in a similar fashion as a parasol cover. This shape I thought would be best adapted as a bicycle cap, with the short bill.
Am I going to make up this cap? I don't know. This idea would probably redrafted, once I had a look at a segmented bicyclists cap and compared its construction to that of the segmented smoking cap. So, no idea. But I thought it'd make for a post to keep things fresh here.
Considering the masculine direction things have taken a turn for here (not that I'm complaining) I figured we might as well continue on with it and see where it goes.
I really liked how this one turned out, for some reason.
Another sketch. This one done last night. It's not perfect, but it's something to look at.
Drawn during my hiatus, and when I just let my brain wander.
My subconscious can be a very strange place sometimes.

OK, I just kind of stumbled into this after talking to the butcher today at Von's this afternoon but give this one a try. I've never cooked barbecued ribs but I swear these were the best I ever ate, and I've had my share.
Buy some meaty beef ribs cut into individual ribs. They are usually cheap!
Throw them in a pot and add enough water to cover them by 1/4 inch or more.
Turn on the stove.
Put the pot on the stove. (Prefereably over the part you just turned on).
OK, now chop up some garlic and smash it and throw it in the pot. Add some salt and pepper to taste and maybe some heat like crushed red pepper or cayenne (sp?).
Once it stats boiling check the clock and give it 1/2 hour or so.
After 1/2 hour fire up the grill and get it nice and hot around 500 degrees.
Turn down burners to medium and throw those bad boys on there meat side down to seer them. Open a beer. Leave it for a few minutes to make a nice mark and then flip it over. Finish that beer. Squirt some of your favorite BBQ sauce all over each rib and spread it around, just enough to cover it and then flip it over again and coat the other side with BBQ sauce (I used Sugar Rays honey and something), close the lid and smell the bbq goodness while you open another brew.
Note that BBQ sauce has sugar in it so try and walk the line between heat, charring time and common sense until you get it nice and crusty on both sides.
Add more sauce or just consume as is.
Share the bone with your dog, who will worship you.

Remember the Black Skater Chick features on Afropunk.com? We need to talk more about these ladies with mad skate skills. I was listening to my iPod the other day, and the song Kick Push by Lupe Fiasco came on. I absolutely love that jam. The song is about the life of a skater yearning for an oasis to coast. The lyrics of the song got me to thinking about the lives of Black skaters. I…Continue

What's up BLACK SKATER CHICK fam? We had to pleasure of speaking with (*drumroll*) Jazmyn Glause!
Jazmyn Glause reps Duluth, MN. At the age of 12, Jazmyn's journey with skateboarding began when her parents bought her Tony Hawk Underground 2. She thought it was so "rad that there was a girl skater in it, it was Elissa Steamer. I wanted to be just like her!" Since that moment, Jazmyn rolled around on her skateboard everyday. Soon her level of comfortability increased…

In the late 80's and early 90's skateboarding emerged as one of the fastest growing sports to date.

Saturday kicked off the beginning of a raffle at a valley Fry's grocery store to help raise money to protect Phoenix Police K-9s.
For some time, a local Fry's grocery store employee Bill Vasquez felt called to do something to help protect police K-9s. Through his partnership with Fry's and with Dave Van-T of Play Wirx, he is able to do just that.
"I have always wanted to do this particular fundraiser" Vasquez said.
He was touched a few weeks back after seeing a story about a police K-9. With the help of Fry's, Vasquez contacted Dave Van-T who owns the local business Play Wirx to see if he could help. Saturday morning he presented Phoenix Police Department with a $650 check on behalf of Fry's to kick of the raffle.
Sgt. Rich Maiocco with the Phoenix Police Department was there to explain the importance of police K-9s.
"We will probably never know how many lives they have saved or injuries they've prevented by giving us an early detection sign," he says.
Van-T, who builds various sculptures and play-houses created a stunning Phoenix Police inspired dog house. The dog house among several gift cards for local restaurants and a Fry's card worth $100 will be raffled off.
Vasquez is hoping that the raffle allows them raise enough funds to purchase two more vests. Currently, Phoenix has 17 patrol dogs, but only 14 vests. To him, the vests are important in protecting the "four-legged" first responders. Maiocco explains that sometimes the vests can give the dogs a fighting chance. Last June, Ronin, a Glendale Police K-9, died as a result of his injuries in the line of duty.
Officer Andrew Carlsson brought his K-9 partner Wodan who was wearing his K-9 vest. Maiocco, who helps train K-9s and their handlers, explained that the vests offer protection for the dogs against bullets and knives, but come at a hefty price of nearly $700.
"People need to realize that the vests are like the ones we wear, they have a shelf life," Maiocco said.
"They are first responders as well, so we want to protect them" Vasquez said.
The raffle goes on throughout July, ending on Aug. 3. Those interested can visit the Fry's store at 3616 E. Ray Rd. in Ahwatukee.

Two Tivos To Paradise 01.25.13: 30 Rock, Mad Men, House of Lies, The Walking Dead, and more!
Posted by
Al Norton
on 01.25.2013
News and thoughts on the
30 Rock
series finale, the return of
Mad Men
, a HUGE week in pilot orders, and Seth MacFarlane's new TV series.
Hello friends. Hope everyone dealing with this Arctic chill made it through the week ok, using their favorite TV shows to keep them warm at night! I somehow neglected to mention that my brother got engaged over Christmas and that he and the Mrs.-to-be are looking at a June wedding. My daughter is already asking about what dress she is going to wear.
Here's a quick look at the upcoming return of
The Walking Dead
And a full length look at A&E's upcoming
Bates Motel
Mrs. Tivo and I are taking the twins to see
Yo Gabba Gabba! Live: Get the Sillies Out
on Saturday; I'll have a full review of the show next Friday.
If you can't get enough Al Norton today then you are in luck as I am taking part in 411movies Fact or Fiction – check it out on the main Movies/TV page now!
Well just a look at that girl with news comin' up in her eyes.
There's Colors On The Street, Red, White, And Blue, People Shufflin' Their Feet, People Sleepin' In Their Shoes
30 Rock
brings its 7 season run to a close next Thursday with a one hour episode. While the show has never been a breakout ratings hit, it was a critical and industry favorite, racking up 17 Golden Globe nominations (including 3 wins for Alec Baldwin), 94 Emmy nominations (including 2 wins for Best Comedy), and 19 SAG Award nominations (including 6 wins for Baldwin).
When it was at its best, which was frequently,
30 Rock
was as good as skewering pop culture as any show in TV history, tackling politics, movies, TV, relationship trends, celebrity causes, and more, all with razor sharp knives that demonstrated they were interested in getting laughs from any/all points of view. While folks knew her from
Saturday Night Live
30 Rock
will also be remembered as the show that made the country realize Tina Fey is indeed one of the funniest and most talented people in comedy. And it turned Alec Baldwin back into a major player in entertainment as well.
This is not to say the show was perfect; there were episodes, even the majority of a particular season, that were subpar and self indulgent, where the writers seemed to be entertaining themselves instead of the audience, but the ship was always righted and the focus returned to Liz' ridiculous romantic entanglements or Jack's obsession with getting the cover of Meetings Magazines.
I think
30 Rock
will have a particularly long shelf life because of those pop culture references since it will eventually provide a sense of nostalgia as well as bemusement at the incredible amount of material the world game them to work with. I would totally buy a series of
30 Rock
compilations on DVD; Best of NBC's Programming (MILF Island and Celebrity Homonym promos), Best of Crazy Tracy Jordan, Best of Liz' Dates, The Business and Political Philosophies of Jack Donaghey, Best of Guest Stars…the list is endless and I hope they go back in and get creative with their rerun packages.
I will miss
30 Rock
greatly but also think it's leaving at the right time; the last season and a half has been fantastic so they are going out on a serious high note. I have no doubt that Thursday's finale will strike exactly the right chord.

Turns Out Not Where But Who You're With That Really Matters
The Best of What's Around AKA The Best Thing I've Watched In The Last Seven Days…
House of Lies
second season has had moments that echoed what the first season did so well – give viewers a peak at the extreme bullshitting that goes on in the world of consulting, with the team gathered around the phone trying to figure out what line of business the client was in and the dinner in Vegas both being highlights – but what's made these first two half hours so interesting is the new dynamic between Kristen Bell's Jeannie and Don Cheadle's Marty.
In season one it was certainly clear that Jeannie was every bit as smart as Marty, albeit with less real world experience and a whole lot less jaded cynicism, and the chemistry between the two was there, but in season two it's been acknowledged by both as they try to remember the events of a night spent together; at first it seemed like the big question was, "did they do it?" but as it turns out it's something much bigger and more important, along the lines of, "is the other person their one chance at true happiness, at saving themselves from this dark and lonely world they live and work in?"
Those are big things to be conveyed not so much with dialogue but with glances and pauses and Bell is proving herself to be every bit the equal of her Oscar, Emmy, Golden Globe, and SAG Award nominated co-star, which is why the audience has no problems buying into their wondering if this is their one shot at something other than every other relationship they've ever had.
House of Lies
is smart, funny, at times a bit too over the top, and at times very sexy, but so far season two can add "an examination of the human condition" to its resume and that has made it a much more interesting and richer viewing experience.
People Say I'm Crazy Doing What I'm Doing. Well, They Give Me All Kinds Of Warnings To Save Me From Ruin
What's flashed before my eyes the last seven days…I am not sure if I actually liked
The Taste
or rather simply enjoyed getting two hours of Anthony Bourdain being himself on my screen but either way, I'm in! He can be a bit of a dick sometimes but he is always himself, a trait which would make him a great candidate to be a permanent reality competition show judge, regardless of the competition. He could do a season on

America's Next Top Model
, jump to

... This week's
was a great example of how the show can have Ted date someone without the audience (figuratively) tuning out since we know said date isn't the Mother; even before the twist, the scenario was genuinely funny and didn't ask viewers to get emotionally invested in the couple but rather just sit back and giggle, which I did ("Charlie was everywhere")…I mentioned above that
Ben and Kate
was pulled from the Fox lineup, likely canceled, and that makes me sad because it was a genuinely sweet and charming comedy that got the brother-sister dynamic perfectly...Julius Pepperwood immediately jumps to near-the-top of the list of great TV aliases. Ex cop. Ex marine. He's from Chicago. Thin crust pizza? No thank you, he's from Chicago. I would totally watch a series focused on his work as a zombie detective…
The Parenthood
season finale was as warm and sweet and tear-filled as I imagined, with the episode serving as a series finale just in case NBC makes the idiotic decision not to bring it back. I also liked the decision Sarah made in that frequently in life we make bad choices and sometimes, whether we know it or not, we feel like someone may actually be too good for us…Thought it was kind of funny (and not in a good way) that Addison seemed like an afterthought in the
Private Practice
series finale considering the show was built around her. Was Henry even in the episode?!?! On the plus side Sheldon, who long ago became my favorite character, got some more time to shine… I sang the praises of
The Following
last week so now that the pilot has aired I will vent on my one big issue, namely, the easiest prison break in TV history. This guy is a BIG TIME serial killer and he should be in the most maximum security prison the country has to offer, and instead he managed to get out by putting on a hat and keeping his head down?!?!
TV Pick Of The Week
Season one of
was that rarest of TV rarities, a reboot that actually worked. Critics and fans alike enjoyed the way the show embraced its history and at the same time established new characters to get invested in, and everyone was blown away at just how well Larry Hagman fit into JR's shoes after all the time away. Sadly, Hagman passed away while season two was in production and JR's death will be one of the focal points of the second half of the season, a plot point that will lead to even more familiar faces returning to Southfork.

Will carpooling catch on this time?
Americans have been strangely resistant to carpooling as a way to save money when the price of gas shoots up.
With the national average gas price heading toward the $4 mark, wouldn't it make sense if we took up carpooling in a serious way? Social networking makes it so easy nowadays.
People across the pond -- where gas prices that would scare us silly have been the norm for years -- have figured this out. German company Carpooling.com says it has 3.6 million registered users in Europe. The for-profit enterprise is looking at the U.S. market, although CEO Markus Barnikel "admits that carpooling in the U.S. has never really taken off," Public Radio International says.
A bit of proof: A new $280,000 parking lot for commuters to Orlando, Fla. -- built specifically for carpoolers -- is just about empty every day, while nearby lots for people who park and take public transportation are full, Central Florida News 13 reported recently.
Before adding three new lots this year, FDOT studied user numbers at the 11 lots it already operated and found a trend. For example, Lots on SR 50 and lots on US 192 only offered carpooling and were almost always nearly empty. An Orange City lot with bus service was almost always full.
(Post continues below.)
But there are some encouraging signs. Ride-share programs are working hard to connect commuters. For example:
- The MiRideshare program in Southeast Michigan reportedly has 6,000 commuters in its database. It claims that commuters, who can register for the program online, can save $3,000 a year by using the free service. (The program also offers a page of helpful carpooling pointers and etiquette. No. 1: Don't be late.)
- Community Services of North Florida also makes it easy to carpool. You type in your particulars, and the system matches you up with other commuters who are going your way.
- A company called Zimride partners with colleges and universities to enable carpooling connections for students and employees via social-networking sites.
One twist on carpooling is "slugging," where would-be passengers line up at predetermined locations to catch a ride with someone who needs passengers to qualify for the carpooling lane. The official slugging website of the Washington, D.C., area describes it like this:
A car needing additional passengers to meet the required three-person high occupancy vehicle (HOV) minimum pulls up to one of the known slug lines. The driver usually positions the car so that the slugs are on the passenger side. The driver either displays a sign with the destination or simply lowers the passenger window to call out the destination, such as "Pentagon," "L'Enfant Plaza" or "14th & New York." The slugs first in line for that particular destination then hop into the car, normally confirming the destination, and off they go.
Why don't Americans like to carpool?
In some places it's tough. Wrote Los Angeles area resident Deborah Sweeney on Forbes.com:
Depending on how many people you have in the car and where everyone lives, you might find yourself driving all over the place to the point where you'll begin to wonder if your vehicle has suddenly morphed into an airport shuttle share van.
Some people worry about being stranded. However, we noticed that many of the Web-based carpooling efforts we found provide a free pickup service in case that happens.
We think an article by Frances Coleman for the Press-Register of Mobile, Ala., headlined "At what gas price will you carpool?," nailed the reasons in March 2008, and they still apply today. It's more than being resistant to doing the math concerning how much all that driving is costing you.
- "We are spoiled." We want to take whatever route we want, and we want to be able to drive to lunch or run an errand on the way home. You need your own wheels for that.
- "We are set in our ways." No way are we going to let some fool riding with us dictate what plays on the radio, or how hot it is inside the car or complain when we apply makeup or text behind the wheel, Coleman said.
Coleman also wrote:
We think we're the best and brightest drivers on the road, which makes us hesitant to entrust our safety to others.I would rather die at my own hand than be killed in your car because you failed to stop at a traffic light (or were putting on makeup or sending a text message while driving).
How high would gas have to be before you signed up at a carpooling website?

Alkermes still has room to grow
Despite trading near its 52-week high, the stock appears to have plenty left.
By Barry S. Cohen, Stock Traders Daily
Even though the company is pushing its 52-week high, the Dublin, Ireland company Alkermes (ALKS) may have quite a bit of upside for investors. The biopharmaceutical that once relied strictly on finding better ways to deliver existing drugs has some unique compounds in its pipeline that may not only help patients, but provide good value for payers.
The pipeline product the company is most enthusiastic about is an oral compound designed to compete with the best in class among oral antipsychotic agents. It's a combination of a proprietary new clinical entity of Alkermes and one of the most important antipsychotic drugs in the world called olanzapine, otherwise known as Zyprexa, a product of Eli Lilly (LLY).
This year the company plans to start testing the product in patients with schizophrenia, hoping that it is not only effective but doesn't have the undesirable side effects -- weight gain so sensitive that it can lead to diabetes -- of olanzapine. Our real time trading reports help investors identify companies like Alkermes that still have plenty of upside potential.
Of course, what's enabled the company to fund a beefed up research and development program is the success of its commercial offerings. The Alkermes line consists of about 25 products from which it earns royalties and/or manufacturing revenues. The mainstays of its line consist of what the company calls the big five. These products are unique in the classes in which they compete, are early in their patent life and will likely drive the revenue of Alkermes for the next ten years.
The latest addition to the big five is Bydureon, considered one of the most outstanding new biotechnology drugs to come along in the past several years. It's the first and only once weekly medication for Type II diabetic patients. Bydureon is a new class of molecule that was developed by developed by Alkermes' partners at Amylin. Last year, Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) bought Amylin for $7 billion, primarily to gets it hands on Bydureon.
To help finance the transaction, Bristol-Myers teamed up with AstraZeneca (AZN), which paid about half the purchase price and shares in the profits for Bydureon.
Alkermes earned royalty of $5.3 million on revenues of Bydureon during the company's fiscal third quarter ended December 31, 2012, pushing total revenue for the quarter up 8.2% from a year earlier and beating analyst estimates. In the reported quarter, Alkermes also scored a 10.3% gain to $52.5 million of manufacturing and royalty revenues from its long-acting atypical antipsychotic franchise comprising Risperdal Consta and Invega Sustenna/Xeplion. These drugs are marketed by Johnson & Johnson (JNJ).
Meanwhile, sales of its own product, Vivitrol, grew about 50% to nearly $15 million. Based on the excellent performance of Vivitrol, Alkermes raised its guidance for sales and earnings per share in fiscal 2013.

Jay Bradner:
Open-source cancer research
How does cancer know it's cancer? At Jay Bradner's lab, they found a molecule that might hold the answer, JQ1 — and instead of patenting JQ1, they published their findings and mailed samples to 40 other labs to work on. An inspiring look at the open-source future of medical research. (Filmed at TEDxBoston.)

Research Interests
My research interests reflect a theoretically informed commitment to empirical sociological research that makes connections with other fields and disciplines. My current research interests can be divided into seven strands. They are as follows:
- Computational and Digital Sociology, COSMOS
- Political Communication, Citizenship, Interaction and the Mediated Public Sphere
- Ethnography, Theory Culture and Interpretive Analysis
- Team Work, Expertise and Professional Interaction
- Alternative Dwelling Construction, Lifestyle and Green Expertise
- Wales, Identity, Culture and Place
- Art and Devolution in Wales
I am co-founder of the Collaborative Online Social Media Observatory (COSMOS) that is currently funded by both the ESRC and JISC. I am currently involved in five ongoing research projects that relate to digital and computational sociology including as principal investigator: Hate Speech and Social Media: Understanding Users, Networks and Information Flows' and as co-investigator 'Social Media and Prediction: Crime Sensing, Data Integration and Statistical Modelling' (ESRC); 'Digital Social Research Tools, Tension Indicators and Safer Communities: A demonstration of COSMOS' (ESRC); 'Supporting Empirical Social Science Research with a Virtual Research Environment' (JISC) and 'Requirements Analysis for Social Media Analysis Research Tools' (ESRC).
In addition to the above I have conducted work funded by the British Academy on art and devolution in Wales and alternative dwelling and green expertise. I have also carried out extensive research on collaborative and professional team work, political communication and innovation in social research methods.
I have published widely in these and related areas (see publications). Forthcoming books include Digital Society: Theory, Method and Data (with Edwards, Williams and Burnap, Sage, 2015) and Advances in Membership Categorization Analysis (with Fitzgerald, Sage, 2014). I was the lead editor of a special issue for the International Journal of Social Research Methodology entitled Computational Social Science: Research Strategies, Design and Methods (2013).
My contribution to Sociology was confirmed through the award of a DSc Econ. by Cardiff University in the Spring of 2013.

- TacosOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/20/2014We sat outside and the weather was perfect. Reservation at 6 and we sat down right away at 6. The service was perfect and very attentive. The salsa was great and the shrimp tacos were lite and very tasty. The flan was also very yummy. Great place to eat in heart of Cincy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- mostly disappointedrunningmomto3Dined on 9/19/2014Our server was fantastic. Thank you Elizabeth! The queso dip was awesome. We sat outside in the courtyard and the table for two was super teeny tiny, so for my 6'6" husband it was uncomfortable. I had the shrimp tacos. The flavor was pretty good. But the shrimp was breaded and fried, so super greasy, and a bit awkward with the lightness of the rest of the dish (arugala, Sriracha based sauce, corn), would have been better paired wit grilled shrimp. The chiPs were super greasy. The tortillas were store bought. If half your menu is going to consist of tacos, you should probably have homemade tortillas. We were disappointed and won't be back.Special Features:
- Lovely eveningdowntownfoodieDined on 9/19/2014We ate outside before attending the Ballet. The weather was delightful & the service great. We didn't have an entree btr were well satisfied with our salads & appetizers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great food but service was subparkelroy297Dined on 9/14/2014We took four friends from out of town to Nada (which is one of our favorite brunch spots) at 11a. We were seated quickly and received prompt attention. However, my drink order took almost 10 minutes. When I inquired as to the whereabouts of my drink the server said the bartender was busy taking care of other people at the bar!?! When our food arrived it was put down on the edge of the table and they had us sort out who ordered what because their computers were down. It wouldn't have been a big deal except they didn't realize they brought out only four entrees for six people. We got the other two entrees but never an apology or any offer to even take care of the chips and salsa. An apology would have gone a long way. Disappointed.Special Features:
- karleneVIPDined on 9/14/2014Always consistently good. Brunch is my favorite hereSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Night!!!FoodLove09Dined on 9/13/2014I recently went for my birthday. We had a group of seven and a great view. The atmosphere was great. The food was amazing! You have to try the Mexican Mac and cheese. The food wasn't nearly as expensive as I thought, I got out for under $15 tip included. When a large company event came in and our server had to help, everyone pitched in and took care of us in between her trips to our table. I was really impressed. I will definitely be going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NadaSwagersDined on 9/13/2014Great food, great service, and great view on the top level of the restaurant. Taking my girlfriend there for her 21st was an excellent choice. She loved everything about. Everyone was kind and great?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Place, OK foodGoodfellowSDDined on 9/13/2014My wife and I went to Nada for the first time in a long time for dinner before a Ballet. The ambiance was great, we sat outside, the appetizer was delicious... but the tacos were mediocre. The Fish tacos were very heavy batter - basically a filet o fish on a tortilla. Sorry to post a not fantastic review, but if you don't get feedback, you can't improve. Our dining experience was great. They food could be better.Special Features:
- You have Got to try this place2foodiesDined on 9/13/2014While taking a weekend trip from Columbus to Cincinnati, we stopped into Nada.We are so delighted that we did.We were impressed with the line station and how efficiently it was running.The waiter,Cadence,was welcoming to our first visit. He gave his suggestions and his favorites.We also met one of the managers, Lauren. She shared with us that Columbus would be getting a Nada.Just a pleasure to speak to her. We ordered the homemade chips/salsa and were delicious.The queso fundito was seasoned perfectly. I ordered the chicken/corn enchiladas and my husband ordered the shrimp tacos, they were equally delicious and flavorful.At this point, we were so full.Definitely a must try and looking forward to the opening in Columbus!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great for lunch AND dinner!compucandiDined on 9/3/2014We had been to Nada for dinner several months ago, so when we had an opportunity to go back to Cincinnati, we chose Nada. We could only get a reservation for 3PM (or later in the evening, but we had plans), so we took it. The lunch menu is just as delicious as the dinner menu!

- Birthday Taco RoulettetexasjenDined on 8/29/2014We came for my 30th birthday and had a wonderful time. The pink grapefruit margarita was delicious! The only issue we seemed to have was that we all wanted custom taco trios - cause all of the tacos are so good. Apparently the kitchen "doesn't like" when you try to do that more than twice per table. We had 9 guests. I figure, if we're paying that much for tacos, the kitchen should be able to accommodate.Special Features:
- NadamarybDined on 8/27/2014Great food, great service, great night. Perfect way to spend an anniversary!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday Dinner at NadaRayCDined on 8/26/2014This was a fantastic dinner. We had a great spot off of the side of the bar, and our server was phenomenal. The queso got us off to a great start, and then we got to dinner. My girlfriend had the taquitos, and ensalada mixta. Both were tasty, and the salsa verde with the taquitos was a great accent. I had the Pork Belly tacos, one of which had a fried egg added on it per our waiters recommendation. Absolutely delicious. Then we finished with some churros! Great meal from a great restaurant!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Service and Food.greiwealDined on 8/25/2014If you are planning on eating at Nada, ask for the server Cadence. Fantastic service. Very attentive. Timing was perfect on the appetizer and entree. Never felt rushed but also never felt like we were waiting for food and our drinks were never empty! Great service. Only issue we had was the manager on duty. He came up to our table to ask how everything was going and before we could answer he was walking away. We were not there during a rush hour and he had a 10 minute conversation with the table behind us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious CuisineJoelatoDined on 8/23/2014Delicious Contemporary Mexican Cuisine. Staff could not have been nicer--very friendly, accommodating and willing to make suggestions/changes to entrees.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- So good!yragDined on 8/21/2014I love this place. The service is great, the food is fantastic and I enjoy the vibe of the restaurant itself. One of my favorite restaurants in Cincinnati. I will definitely be back.Special Features:
- Great overall experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/17/2014I had made a reservation and we were seated right away, we were given the choice to sit in or outside. Out server was very attentive and we always had a full glass of water to drink. I received a call after we had been at the restaurant about 45 minutes and they asked if we were still planning to come, I do beleive there was a lack of communication between the two greeters. The food was great and some of the ladies at our table drank and they had nothing but good things to say about that.Special Features:
- Great placeWeebadVIPDined on 8/16/2014We were a group of four and had a table outside, which was a lot of fun. The manager came up to speak with us and was tremendously welcoming. We all had margaritas which were quite good. The chips were light and crunchy but, when ordering for 4, go for the larger guacamole. The shrimp tacos were outstanding and our favorite, though the steak fajitas were a close second. Don't bother with the chicken and corn enchiladas, they were only fair. Overall, we had a very enjoyable evening and would definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great locale - Great service!mcb74Dined on 8/15/2014Service staff were very attentive to me and my lunch guest. Great food, great drinks.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tacos buenosTasterVIPDined on 8/14/2014We went for dinner when a friend was in town. We tried the baja tacos (fried fish), salmon, carnitas, and pork belly tacos. My favorite by far was the pork belly followed closely by the carnitas. The fish tacos were good, but I just am not as much of a fan of fried fish. The margarita suprema was superb. Had a great experience overall with great service. Also had the churros for dessert which has honey rather than chocolate. Still very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Will Return!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/13/2014I had a wonderful experience at Nada. The food was amazing, the service was perfectly on par. My only qualm was where we were sitting, it was kind of a mini two person table, wedged into the backside of the restaurant;not very convenient or comfortable, especially for a date but I guess they have to be used. They have a serene bar area upstairs I was unaware of at booking. I think next time I'll try and sit up there. Overall though, it was great food and I will return soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Thanks Nada!Yummy2013Dined on 8/12/2014We arrived late for our 9:45 reservation because the baseball game went longer than expected, but the staff still accommodated our party of seven. The food was wonderful and I highly recommend the shrimp tacos!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ImpressiveEclecticdiner1VIPDined on 8/12/2014Outstanding mojito, tasty salad, salsa was delicious We had 3 different tacos and enchiladas Everyone enjoyed the dinner:)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food, So-So Bar7477wildcatDined on 8/9/2014Once again, had a very good meal. Three of us got three different tacos and shared. After the quac (which was tasty and just enough), the tacos left us stuffed. Pork belly ones deserve special mention. We've had margaritas, mojitos and the red sangria and I can't say that I really liked any of them. All seemed a little weak and had just a bit of an off flavor. It won't keep me from coming back, but next time, I'll stick with the beer.Special Features:

Featured Articles
2013 Guide Analysis: "This Irish-British fantasy thriller, starring Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan as a mother and daughter vampire duo, should have been a home run. There's "Interview with a Vampire" director Neil Jordan returning to the world of the undead with his trademark striking compositions. Added to that are Jonny Lee Miller and Sam Riley in supporting roles, and a shake-up of vampire mythology such as the women having no fangs and no problems with sunlight.
Screening at the Toronto Film Festival a few months ago, early reviews proved a bit disheartening. Horror critics weren't gushing, but they generally quite liked the film and praised both the visuals and the way it reinvents vampire lore. Most had some caveats, especially regarding some of the repetitive and needlessly clumsy character moments.
Regular critics weren't as generous, a few leaning towards calling it an occasionally interesting mess. IFC had no problem with it though, acquiring the film with word that they plan to release it sometime in the second-quarter of the year. How big they intend to go theatrically, and whether a simultaneous video on-demand release of the film will take place, is uncertain at this point."

Earnest Byner runs past Cincinnati linebacker Andre Collins in 1997. Byner spent the last two seasons (1996-97) of his 14-year NFL career with the Ravens. He rushed for 947 yards and four touchdowns on 243 carries in his two seasons in Baltimore. Byner compiled 8,261 rushing yards and 71 touchdowns (56 rushing, 15 receiving) in his career. In 2000, the Ravens made Byner their first Ring of Honor inductee. "It's all part of who I am," said Byner, who spent eight years in Baltimore as a player and executive before joining the Redskins in 2004 as an assistant coach.

The February issue of CM/Cleaning & Maintenance Management® magazine is now available online, featuring Dane Gregory''s Management Tips column "These are the best of times, the worst of times."
Gregory states that most people believe that in tough economic times the response is to cut back our costs and wait out the low part of the cycle; the opposite is true.
He notes that belief in managing the message to reflect the economic downturn is a necessary adjustment to capture the attention of the potential client; pretending nothing is wrong could make clients wonder if you are from this world.
John F. Kennedy once said, "The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining."
Gregory adds that preparation is key; during cold, rainy days, at least assess the damage so you will be ready when the sun finally does come out, because you know it will.
If you are looking for different ideas to foster these types of relationships with clients, contact Dane Gregory. Dane Gregory is a business consultant and trainer specializing in working with companies in the professional cleaning industry. He currently trains technicians in the use of cleaning protocols for stone, tile and masonry surfaces for IICRC Certification. He also presents a business opportunity for newcomers in the cleaning industry in the care of ceramic tile, stone and grout with a full equipment and training package.
