Listen: A special podcast tribute to John Carpenter with guest Scott Weinberg
One of the highlights for me of a very busy and emotionally demanding September was spending time at the Toronto International Film Festival and at Fantastic Fest with Scott Weinberg, Cinematical editor and FEARNet film critic. Festivals are great because you end up seeing the same faces, people you don't see the rest of the year.
Sundance, SXSW, Comic-Con, Toronto, Fantastic Fest… it's a circuit that takes me to Austin twice a year, to one of the biggest pop culture press events on the planet, and to two of the most important festivals that happen internationally, and it helps keep me connected to what's going on during the year in film. It's also just plain nice to see those faces and have those conversations and spend that time with film-loving friends.
This year, Weinberg joined me for all of the Midnight Madness programming at the Ryerson Theater, and it was a blast. Colin Geddes put together a really impressive series, and each night was a totally different energy depending on which film was playing. For me, the evening that I anticipated the most was the premiere of John Carpenter's new film, "The Ward." Since I first worked with John in 2005, I've been hoping to see him working on the bigscreen again, and it was a thrill to be in that audience, to be one of the first to see the film.
The night before, as Weinberg and I were writing reviews, we were talking about that anticipation, that weight that comes from having a career like his, and we realized that we should get that anticipation down on tape. I set up the mic quickly, and what resulted is a loose, informal, hour-long trip through Carpenter's full career, from "Dark Star" to "Ghosts Of Mars." We rank each of this theatrical features, each of us picking our favorite films along the way.
What amazed me is how Weinberg and I can both love Carpenter's work, but disagree so strongly on some of his films. There are movies I don't like at all that Scott really likes, and vice versa. I'm still trying to understand why someone who so obviously understands the things that makes Carpenter's work special and great would be so down on "Prince Of Darkness," but that's exactly why we had this conversation. Keep in mind, we're about four days into the festival here, working on about three hours sleep a night, and Weinberg was floored up the first few days. We recorded this at 2:00 in the morning, and we're sitting in a hotel room and on a balcony 14 floors up.
This isn't this week's podcast… it's a bonus. I'm going to have on special guest Devin Faraci, one of the badasses behind the brand-new Badass Digest, and I'm also going to have a very special interview with "Four Lions" director Chris Morris. That podcast will be going up on Wednesday, and it will be the regular format, with this week's DVD titles covered as well as a look at the new releases on Friday.
For now, you can either subscribe to the RSS feed for the podcast, which we've submitted to iTunes, so hopefully it'll be there in the next few, or you can listen to it via the player below, or download it from the embedded link.
"The Ward" is still looking for a distributor, but as soon as there's news about that, we'll make sure to share it with you, right here at HitFix. In the meantime, Happy Halloween.

Subramanian Swamy calls Priyanka Vadra `alcoholic`, Congress workers protest in Delhi
Zee Media Bureau
New Delhi: Slamming the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy for his comments against Congress president Sonia Gandhi`s daughter Priyanka Gandhi, Congress leader Ajay Maken on Tuesday said that Swamy`s statement has crossed all limits.
"Subramanian Swamy`s statement crosses all limits, we condemn it. Use of such words against women is unacceptable," Maken said.
Commenting on reports that Priyanka Gandhi was willing to contest elections from Varanasi against BJP`s PM nominee Narendra Modi, Swamy had said yesterday that Gandhi would have been thrashed if she had done so as she drinks too much alcohol and has a bad name.
"They saved her. She would have got a thrashing. She is very unpopular, she drinks too much alcohol and she has a bad name, her husband has a bad name," Swamy said.
On Sunday, Swamy had even called Priyanka an ungrateful daughter for going to see the prisoners in jail who assassinated her own father.
He also said that it was Priyanka Gandhi and not Varun Gandhi who has gone astray and had added that the former and her party were not able to digest the latter`s success.
Maken further said, "We support Priyankaji`s statement, she hasn`t made any personal attacks, it was an ideological statement."
On Saturday, while accompanying Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi at Amethi while filing nomination papers, Priyanka had said that Varun Gandhi has chosen a wrong path and needed to be led in the right direction.
Meanwhile, Congress party workers today protested outside the residence of Swamy in the national capital due to his alleged derogatory remarks against Priyanka.
Yesterday, Delhi Congress had accused the BJP leader of trying to vitiate the election atmosphere by making such comments.
Swamy had even posted on micro-blogging website twitter - "Good luck to Varun. One Nehru whose blood is 100 percent Hindustaniyat. No wonder Booze and Buddhu jealous (sic)."
Good luck to Varun. One Nehru whose blood is 100 percent Hindustaniyat. No wonder Booze and Buddhu jealous.
— Subramanian Swamy (@Swamy39) April 15, 2014
Another Congress leader Haroon Yusuf said, "Subramanian Swamy must take back his comments on Priyankaji. We will complain to the EC as well."
Swamy reacted sharply over this issue and hit back saying, "If they have a problem with what I said, they can approach the court."
"Gunde badmaasho ke tareeke istmaal karenge to lok tantra kaise chalaenge (If goons tactics will be used then how will they run democracy)?" Swamy said on Congress` protest at his residence today.
He added, "All I said was Priyanka Gandhi should quit smoking and set an example. Why doesn't she just say she doesn`t drink?"
"There are courts to file defamation case at, what is this protest and all? More ppl showed up than Rahul Gandhi`s meeting," he said.

Even though he is associated most with Cleveland, where he coached LeBron James and the Cavaliers in 2005-10, Mike Brown's real homecomings in the NBA are Philadelphia and San Antonio.
Brown has a lot of extended family in Philly, but his parents and both his sisters live in San Antonio. They relocated there after seeing San Antonio's virtues while Brown served as Gregg Popovich's assistant coach with the Spurs in 2000-03, appreciating the warm weather and cost of living.
In some ways, Popovich is family, too.
"Times get tough at certain times for me," Brown said. "He's probably the guy that I reach out to more than anybody else, and he knows me well enough to where if I haven't reached out to him, I'll see I got a phone call from him or a text from him. He's been great for me -- and not just for me, but for my entire family."
And despite him coaching the Spurs and Brown the Lakers now, Popovich made clear he'd eagerly assist Brown as long as it wasn't directly related to Spurs vs. Lakers (at which time Popovich said he'll kick Brown's behind).Read the rest of this entry »
The Lakers and Spurs have held more than their share of NBA championship trophies in recent years, and the success is seen in the list of the top five current players with the highest career winning percentages:
Kobe Bryant will not play Wednesday night in San Antonio, missing his third consecutive game because of an inflamed tendon sheath in his left shin.
Lakers coach Mike Brown huddled with athletic trainer Gary Vitti after practice in San Antonio about it. Bryant was at practice for medical treatment -- and Vitti reported further improvement in Bryant's condition, which made notable progress through Monday -- but declined to comment. Bryant had ice over his shin during practice but left without the protective boot he has been wearing.
Bryant's track record is that he will play in games if he is physically capable -- and he could play now if the situation mandated it -- but the issue is that the situation with his shin will likely recur if he does not rest until it is pain free. The Lakers don't want this to be an issue that crops back up with the playoffs even closer to starting; the Lakers' first playoff game is expected to be April 29.
Second-year swingman Devin Ebanks has been starting in Bryant's place and offering good energy to start games, although mistakes in the team defensive scheme usually prevent him from playing much closer to the ends of games.
The Lakers can get a gauge of themselves vs. the Spurs without Bryant now and then with him with two more meetings nine days after this one Wednesday.Read the rest of this entry »
It's proving time for the Lakers on Thursday night against the Oklahoma City team favored to win the Western Conference.
Said Pau Gasol: "It'll be a good test. ... It'll be good also for our confidence (to win)."
Kobe Bryant said after the Lakers improved to 11-15 on the road Tuesday night at Golden State that he is feeling optimistic about where the Lakers stand after basically swapping Derek Fisher for Ramon Sessions at the trade deadline.
"Extremely," Bryant said. "Why is everybody acting like we're in eighth place? You guys were kissing the Clippers' (butts) at the start of the season and now here we are in the third seed and everybody's acting like we (stink). I don't understand."
The Clippers were 2 1/2 games behind the Lakers in the Pacific Division entering the Suns-Clippers game Wednesday night.Read the rest of this entry »
Mike Brown has now felt backlash for playing Kobe Bryant too much and too little.
Although Bryant entered Tuesday night in a virtual tie with Kevin Durant for third-most NBA game action this season at 38.6 minutes, Brown has been dealing with reaction to his decision to rest Bryant for a late stretch Sunday night against Memphis, which was winning by 14 points at the time.
"The reality about it is that anything that happens with Kobe is a big story," Brown said Tuesday night. "It's part of it."
Brown coached LeBron James in Cleveland, so there's experience for the first-year Lakers coach in dealing with that extreme superstar spotlight.
Brown was asked about how one of his mentors, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, has been handling Tim Duncan, now 35, in his post-prime years while dealing with knee pain. Popovich at times holds Duncan out of entire games to rest him for playoff time.Read the rest of this entry »
The best thing Kobe Bryant did as a Laker on Sunday night was to handle his media session in a professional manner.
That was fulfilling the leadership role, and not fueling any public controversy with Coach Mike Brown.
I also take Brown at his word, that he rested Bryant late in the fourth quarter because Bryant had not rested in the second half. Not because he was playing poorly, either, because he had a pretty nice third quarter.
But the benching just as easily could have been because the team leader acted like a petulant child during a timeout, standing on the court alone while other Lakers received instruction. Or, because Bryant punched a chair on the way to a timeout, further distracting the huddle.Read the rest of this entry »
One is a series of statements about Brown's idea that "chemistry = trust" -- subject of my Kobe Bryant column last week -- with the lesson on the wall space between the lockers of Derrick Caracter and Devin Ebanks being rooted in trusting your teammates, coaches and system.
The other frame sits next to Bryant's locker, which is appropriate given Bryant's admiration for San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, one of Brown's mentors. Jacob Riis' quote below has been posted in the Spurs' home locker room for most of Popovich's career (Brown was a Spurs assistant in 2000-03), and now it has gone from the Spurs to the Lakers:
When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.Read the rest of this entry »
Mike Brown's first Lakers season as head coach will be a bit of a juggling act, he acknowledged Friday. He will have to figure out what to do with an older team that admitted it didn't practice well enough in a disappointing last season with Phil Jackson.
Brown said he loves to have physical practices, because that's when the most learning can occur, but he has scaled back on that as his coaching career has gone on. With the Lakers this season, which will feature a compacted 66-game schedule, Brown said walk-throughs instead of physical practices "may happen more often than not."
About his upcoming relationship with Kobe Bryant, Brown brought up what he learned as a Spurs assistant around Gregg Popovich and Tim Duncan. Brown said: "It's not about Pop being the boss and Tim being the employee. Those guys do a terrific job of working together."
Brown said Duncan always embraced Popovich continuing to coach him. And Brown reiterated what he said in his September lunch interview about being willing to take good advice from any source -- but adding: "I will make the final decision, no matter who says anything basketball, on-court-related."
Brown, who coached Ron Artest in Indiana previously, said he would struggle to switch to the Metta World Peace name, saying he'd probably go with "Metta or Met." Then Brown joked: "Definitely don't want to call him 'Peace,' because he might think that is grounds for him to leave practice."Read the rest of this entry »
The combustion that was the end of the first mediation stage of NBA labor negotiations increased the likelihood of canceling more than the first two weeks of regular-season games.
But let it be known that the league already has taken another game off the schedule. The Lakers' still-scheduled Dec. 13 home game against the Toronto Raptors will not happen under any circumstances then and there.
That's because the NBA has already allowed Staples Center to vacate its commitment to the Lakers that day and schedule an extra date of the Jay-Z and Kanye West concert tour.
According to a statement from the NBA: "With the cancellation of the first two weeks of the season, the NBA schedule would have to be reworked and certain dates -- including Dec. 13 for a Lakers game at Staples Center -- would not be part of any revised schedule."
Actually, it's two additional NBA games already on the move, because the league did the same thing to accommodate another Jay-Z and Kanye show at Chicago's United Center on Nov. 30, when the Bulls are currently scheduled to play the San Antonio Spurs.Read the rest of this entry »

The Harlem Globetrotters play 390 games a year, not only shooting, dribbling, and scoring but also performing stunts and dancing. All this activity requires superb balance, says Special K Daley, point guard, ringmaster, and self-described "most handsome guy on the team." Below are his three favorite exercises for improving agility and coordination. Try these twice a week (or add them to your workout); perform each move for a minute.
Tennis Ball Squats: Stand facing a wall, about six feet away. Holding a tennis ball in your right hand, lower yourself into a squat position—feet shoulder-width apart, legs bent to nearly a 90-degree angle. Now throw the tennis ball against the wall with your right hand and catch it with your left. (This may take some practice.) Then throw it back at the wall and catch it with your right hand.

European Stocks Fall for Third Straight Day Amid Debt Concern
European stocks fell, dragging the Stoxx Europe 600 Index to the biggest three-day drop since March, amid growing concern that the region's government-debt crisis is spreading.
Thomas Cook Group Plc slumped 28 percent after Europe's second-largest tour operator cut its forecast. Infineon Technologies AG led semiconductor shares lower as U.S. rivals Microchip Technology Inc. and Novellus Systems Inc. reported results that missed estimates. Italy's benchmark FTSE MIB Index erased an earlier 4.8 percent drop as UniCredit SpA rebounded.
The benchmark Stoxx 600 lost 0.6 percent to 268.16 at the 4:30 p.m. close in London. The gauge has fallen 2.8 percent over the past three days as contagion from Greece's debt crisis threatened to spread to the bigger economies of Italy and Spain. That brings the decline since this year's high in February to 7.9 percent.
"We have two negative themes for the equity market, with on the one hand increasing tensions in Italy and Greece and on the other hand the earnings season giving signs of an economic slowdown," said Christian Stocker, a Munich-based strategist at UniCredit. "We remain cautious for the second half of the year and defensive in terms of sector allocation."
Alcoa Inc. became the first company in the Dow Jones Industrial Average to report second-quarter earnings after the close of New York trading yesterday. The largest U.S. aluminum producer posted per-share profit that trailed estimates.
European Talks
European finance chiefs cast about for a strategy to halt Greece's debt spiral, reviving previously discarded ideas and sharpening a dispute with central bankers as the rot spread to Italy. Nine hours of talks yesterday yielded a six-paragraph statement in which the 17 euro governments pledged to flesh out a new master plan "shortly." The meetings resumed today with all 27 European Union finance ministers plotting a response to the release of bank stress tests later this week.
Three days of losses have left the Stoxx 600 trading at about 12.6 times its companies' reported earnings, near the cheapest valuation since 2008, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"Stocks are fairly valued and it could be a support in the short term, but if tensions escalate in the euro zone it won't be," UniCredit's Stocker said.
National benchmark indexes fell in all of the 18 western European markets, except Italy, Portugal and Luxembourg. Germany's DAX Index declined 0.8 percent, France's CAC 40 and the U.K.'s FTSE 100 each lost 1 percent.
VStoxx Jumps
The VStoxx Index, a measure of the cost of insuring against losses in the Euro Stoxx 50 Index, rose 7.6 percent to 28.25, the highest level since March.
The Stoxx 600 pared a drop of as much as 2.7 percent today as Italian and Spanish bonds rebounded amid speculation the European Central Bank bought the debt of the euro region's most-indebted nations to stabilize markets.
Thomas Cook plummeted 28 percent to a record low of 87.85 pence. The company said its underlying operating profit for the year ending in September may fall to 320 million pounds ($506 million) from 362 million pounds in 2010. That's below forecasts given in May and less than the 382 million-pound average estimate of nine analysts compiled by the company.
TUI Travel Plc tumbled 7.5 percent to 204.7 pence, the biggest decline in almost nine months. International Consolidated Airlines Group, the parent of British Airways, dropped 2.3 percent to 231.7 pence.
Infineon, ASML
Infineon, Europe's second-biggest chipmaker, lost 3.6 percent to 7.48 euros. Microchip Technology, a U.S. maker of analog chips, said sales and profit didn't meet its forecasts on weaker demand from automakers and computer producers.
ASML Holding NV, Europe's biggest semiconductor-gear maker, declined 3 percent to 25.70 euros after Novellus, a maker of machinery used in semiconductor production, forecast third-quarter sales and profit that fell short of analysts' estimates.
A gauge of technology shares posted the worst performance of 19 industries in the Stoxx 600. ARM Holdings Plc, the U.K. designer of chips that power Apple Inc.'s iPhone, sank 4.9 percent to 596.5 pence. Temenos Group AG, a banking software provider, lost 1.4 percent to 24.05 Swiss francs.
British Sky Broadcasting Group Plc fell 3.3 percent to 692 pence, the lowest in more than a year. Prime Minister David Cameron's government will support an opposition Labour Party motion calling for News Corp. to withdraw its bid to take full control of BSkyB, Cameron's spokesman Steve Field said.
Allegations last week that News Corp. staff hacked into the phones of murdered schoolgirls and terror victims and paid police for stories prompted Rupert Murdoch to close the News of the World tabloid.
Stora Enso, UniCredit
Stora Enso Oyj slid 2.1 percent to 6.79 euros after Europe's biggest papermaker said its second-quarter operating profit will be reduced by about 32 million euros in non-recurring items including restructuring measures.
UniCredit, Italy's largest bank, rose 5.9 percent to 1.22 euros after earlier plummeting 8 percent. Intesa Sanpaolo SpA gained 3.3 percent to 1.58 euros, erasing a drop of 7.3 percent.
Italy sold 6.75 billion euros ($9.4 billion) of treasury bills in its first auction since borrowing costs began soaring amid contagion from the Greek debt crisis. Demand for the debt was 1.55 times the amount sold, compared with 1.71 times at an auction in June.
Italy will survive the European debt crisis given the country has many exporters and more than half of its debt is held by local investors, according to SLJ Macro Partners LLP.

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Swiss biopharma AmVac has won two grants—worth €6 million (about $7.9 million) and €5.5 million (about $7.3 million) over five years—funded under the European Commision's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) for the development of vaccines targeting flu and leishmaniasis, the firm said. AmVac will work jointly with other companies and European research institutes on these vaccine development projects. The firms involved may match up to 25% of funds provided through FP7, the company added.
The first grant will fund a project that aims to develop flu vaccines that can be used over several years, AmVac said. These will be based on antigens that are well conserved across the strains and largely stable over time.
The second prize will support the development of a vaccine for leishmaniasis, an infectious disease transmitted by certain species of sand fly.
Both vaccine projects are expected to complete Phase I clinical trials within the five-year funding period, the company added.
In addition to development activities, AmVac said it will be supporting the establishment of GMP vaccine manufacturing for both projects, as well as preclinical testing for the latter initiative.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

Hi All, just did my first install of WP a couple of hours ago. It seems to be working great, but my WYSIWYG toolbar isn't displaying. The functionality seems to be there, I can use the functions if I can find them, but the icons (bold, center text, link, etc) aren't displaying. I checked the directory structure, and the paths seem to be correct, and the images are in their directory. I also tried both Firefox and IE. Any ideas? Since its a new install should I delete it and try again?

i am an Indian and seriously WTF what the holy crappy silly fuck
forget making sense, where the fuck did this positioning statement come from? it's high time o&m Mumbai dropped its self righteous, pompous attitued, it's only going to take them down, and here's proof. ummhmmm
Positioning statement comes from the fact, tat without tat...no one wd be able to understand y tat copy is given.
I think the idea is ok...but somehow messed up on the execution...has no connect between TVC n the print.
The guys shown here, don't even look Indian.
Art direction is good.
I am from India. There is no 'cultural' relevance.
Just a scam ad.

Cowboys & Aliens
- Studio: Universal Pictures
- Release Date: Jul 29, 2011
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
A simple entertainment in a summer of overcomplicated disappointments. Also much harder-edged than you may have expected.
The key to its success lies in the determination by everyone involved to play the damn thing straight. Even the slightest goofiness, the tiniest touch of camp, and the whole thing would blow sky high. But it doesn't.
While Cowboys & Aliens offers little in the way of sociological insight (except perhaps giving the white man a taste of his own resource-stealing medicine), it's still a ripping good ride.
This midsummer crowd-pleaser from the ateliers of Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard is still a great deal more rip-roaring fun than, say, the campy movie version of "The Wild Wild West."
The movie is plainly entertaining, with a terrific cast and a fast-moving story helping you overlook the dialogue's frequent failure to crackle.
Take a cowboy movie, add space aliens. That's a gimmick that could easily have exhausted itself after 20 minutes, but director Favreau, a team of screenwriters and some well-cast actors keep it alive, and the result is a crowd-pleasing summer movie with more wit than most.
Director Jon Favreau keeps the tone light but, aside from the occasional low-key gag or one-liner, the humor is never allowed to upstage the more serious elements.
The component genre parts coexist, excitingly, without veering into camp or facetious desperation. Alien-invasion aficionados should be pleased. Western nostalgists may be pleasantly surprised. Fans of cowboys-versus-aliens movies, well, it's been a long wait and here's your movie.
Cowboys & Aliens has without any doubt the most cockamamie plot I've witnessed in many a moon.
A hell-for-leather action film with a healthy serving of scares. It really is "Aliens" on the open plains, "Independence Day" for the nation's centennial, and what the movie lacks in originality and stick-to-your-ribs Western authenticity, it makes up for in pell-mell multiplex entertainment.
Exactly what it sounds like: a cowboy movie and an alien movie thrown together, a genre mash-up that's more fun than good, but pretty good nonetheless.
A film that is neither great nor horrible. Favreau does enough things right in Cowboys & Aliens to churn out a mostly enjoyable bit of mindless summertime action, just not enough to come close to rivaling his 2008 crowd-pleaser "Iron Man."
A loving throwback to the classic westerns and sci-fi adventures of yore, this celebration of two of cinema's most revered genres doesn't stint in lavishing their most cherished conventions with even-handed affection and respect.
Neither fish nor fowl (nor extraterrestrial), and that's a problem. Craig, handsomely craggy, plays it straight, and like Eastwood's Man With No Name, he doesn't have much to say.
That it lacks the snap, crackle and kapow of the summer's better comic book blockbusters isn't surprising. With all this effort riding on a big, expensive and rushed studio summer picture, the real miracle is that any of them come to life.

The mix of SF and the west was a impossible task for Jon Favreau (since he makes great movies that have shallow depth like Iron man). However surprisingly he succeeds in presenting a great movie thanks to the dark atmosphere with Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford's cool performances.

Aug 5, 2011Jesus. This movie is so overwhelmingly mediocre. C&A is a prime example of Hollywood cashing in on overly bland and unoriginal movies thatJesus. This movie is so overwhelmingly mediocre. C&A is a prime example of Hollywood cashing in on overly bland and unoriginal movies that have so much hype built up on them (and a ridiculously unnecessary budget). Jon Favreau is an extremely overrated director with no originality whatsoever. Boring cinematography. Boring script. Boring editing. Seen-that-before action sequences. And questionable casting (Olivia Wilde with her im-trying-too-hard-to-be-serious expressions and dialogue, and Daniel Craig, the Englishman who you can easily tell is trying oh so hard to cover up his accent). The story is FULL of action movie cliches that make the following scenes hugely predictable. The Aliens: not scary, that **** has been done before, and MUCH better. Favreau tries to make the movie out to be epic and dramatic, but it sadly ends up being another run-of-the-mill ****ty summer action movie. But, I'm sure this movie will gross millions and millions of dollars and the "public" will say that it's a "great movie, so entertaining and funny!" and blah blah blah. The dialogue is boring as hell and some scenes are so over-acted that it almost feels as if they are making a parody of themselves. If you have any sense of the many possible quality that defines a movie as "good", stay away from this one. If you want to sit for two hours and have your intelligence insulted with unoriginality and bland mediocrity, go see it. I was anxiously waiting for this movie to come to its predictable, dumb ending, so I could GTFO out the theater.
I know that this movie was intended to be just an entertaining summer blockbuster, but jesus, actually make it worth my time and bring SOMETHING new to the table. This movie had virtually nothing to offer, which ultimately made it completely unentertaining and pointless.… Full Review »

Is it art? No. It's just great commercial entertainment. It's an exciting, funny, scary way to spend a couple of hours. It's shot beautifully. The casting is first rate. The faces on the old west guys are worth the price of admission. It's not nearly as good a film as the first Alien movie, but it has a lot of the same scary/entertaining qualities. If you want to have a fun ride on a Friday night or Saturday afternoon this the movie to see. Should you see it now or wait until it's available to rent? See it in a theater. The sound and visual effects demand a big screen. You can rent it later. Because you'll want to see it again.… Full Review »

WOO HOO! Vacation in Playa del Carmen for Eric's 35th brithday. Lara, Michele, Jen, Sticks and the two of us went and had a blast. Here are some pictures.
Of course we had to leave the all-inclusive resort for a day at Chichen Itza, one of the 7 ancient wonders of the world. It was incredible!
Luckily the trip also included a dip in the cenote.
I was lucky enough to go to Paris on a business trip, and arrive on Bastille Day, their day of independence. Celebrations were everywhere. All the museums were open for free, including the Louvre, and the military groups were showing off their favorite toys. The weather was great so I hopped on a river boat and stopped off at the major stops.
People everywhere at the Arc de Triumph.
One of the military guys walking around. They were all in full uniform in super hot weather.
Cool helicopter being shown off.
Classic shot of the Louvre. I had to go in and see the Mona Lisa picture.
This is what it looks like from inside the pyramid.
No trip to Paris is complete without visiting the Eiffel Tower.
July 9th was our second anniversary and Eric surprised me by taking me on a champagne hot air ballooon ride. This is one of the items on my "things to do before I die" list, which hangs on our fridge door, just in case he should ever need inspiration for a gift. Check out these pictures - it was amazing!
Here we are about to take off!
Our landing - the balloon all lit up. Great way to celebrate.
In June, Sticky and I went to Sonoma and played around while Eric worked. One day we rented bikes and cruised around. Our poor map was damaged with overuse as we found our way to local wineries for tastings. But somehow we made our way home.
One stop was at Ravenswood where their slogan is "NO Wimpy Wines". Now that's our style! (Oh, did I mention it's 9am?) I wouldn't recommend biking after the 5th winery.
In May, my Mom turned 65. My Dad threw her a surprise birthday party with about 40 of her closest friends. She had no clue and was completely surprised. One of her friends wrote her a song which was hilarious. Fun time!!
I currently write this from the western part of Puerto Rico. When I get back, I have 2 weeks before I leave for Australia - I'll be taking the new Sony GPS unit with me to track where I go and the fun places I'll be hiking and diving. Can't wait!

Hmmm, let me see ...
SPARTACUS (1960) - Never saw it
LOLITA (1962) - Never heard of it
DR. STRANGELOVE (1964) - Boring
2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968) - Did not get the "ending"
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (1971) - Way overrated
BARRY LYNDON (1975) - Never heard of it
THE SHINING (1980) - Love it
FULL METAL JACKET (1987) - Love it more
EYES WIDE SHUT (1999) - Blech to say the least
So, me thinks I'll pass.

"LOLITA (1962) - Never heard of it"
No, surely you've not ever heard of one of the most famous works in the English canon about perhaps the most taboo subject in Western culture even today, turned into a film by one of the world's most famous directors.
It hasn't got any vampires in it after all, has it?
@bigshtank: Yeah, you're dum. Sorry not every movie has Jack Black in it.
@bigshtank: Wow. Just wow. Get thee to a Netflix account.
On second thought, forget it. If you found "Strangelove" boring, it's more likely that you just need to grow up a little.
@bigshtank: I'm guessing your top ten goes something like this...
1) The Hangover
2) The Hangover 2
3) Charlie's Angels
5) Superbad

Some of the best movies ever by a legendary director for less than $5 each? No brainer!
Some not to be named poster in this comments section is a troll, and he trolled a few people already.
sold out
@sabotnoh: Don't knock Starship Troopers. That movie is hilarious. But besides that one title, you're otherwise correct about the troll.
Aaaaannnnddd... it's sold out.
That makes me sad.
The troll made me LOL.
@sabotnoh: I totally agree with you, except on the Dolph Lundgren dig. What'd he do to you? The guy is just awesome. Watch the 1989 version of Punisher. Simply amazing.
Also, starship troopers isn't THAT bad. I say your 9th and 10th picks should be something more like Spice World and Titanic. Let's be honest...titanic completely blows.
Someone got trolled 4 sure.
@sabotnoh: Hey! Starship Troopers was a satire. Only smart people get that. :)

Does exactly what Canon says it will do.,
This review is from: Canon SELPHY CP800 Black Compact Photo Printer (4350B001) (Office Product)
Vine Customer Review of Free Product (What's this?)
This printer does exactly what it is advertised to do.
It is easy to set up. It is easy to use. The photographs looks very good. The 4 x 6 photos print in about a minute. Supposedly they last for many, many years. The viewing screen is large enough and looks good. There are basic operations, such as red eye reduction and back-light correction that are useful and easy to use. You can also print in black and white or sepia which is something I like to do, so I appreciate that ability. The owner's manual makes sense and is easy to comprehend, and is not overly complicated. Inserting the ink cartridge and the paper is easy.
I didn't hook this printer up to my computer. I use it with memory cards. It is very easy to use with memory cards. I have not and do not plan to plug it into my computer, so I have no experience with that ability of the machine.
In short, this thing does exactly what the Amazon description and Canon advertising says it will do.
The only problem I see is the cost of the prints. Each 4 x 6 print will cost about 25-30 cents, which isn't overly high, but it is more than twice what I can get prints made for in local stores. Add the cost of the machine, and that will be pretty expensive. However, that cost isn't any surprise, as it can be figured BEFORE you buy this machine.
My wife has commandeered this machine to use for "scrap booking" and she finds it very useful to be able to get any picture she wants, when she wants it, by sticking a memory card in the machine and printing out the few pictures she wants. And she doesn't have to wait around for someone else to develop the pictures and get them back to us. The machine is also very compact and easy to carry around with all of her other scrap booking stuff when she goes to her scrap booking "parties." For that type of use, this is an excellent machine.
As I have had this machine for less than a month, I can not comment on its long-term reliability, but it does seem to be built very well. However, the only other Canon printer I have ever owned did not fare so well in long term reliability, so that does concern me. (Note in the past, if you search my reviews, I have given a Canon printer a 1-star review because it died way too soon.)
Personally, I would like a machine that prints 5 x 7's. If I was buying a printer, I would buy one that has the ability to print 5 x 7's. But I was given this machine, so I can't really complain about that.
To sum up, this machine appears to be an excellent choice for anyone who wants 4 x 6 prints. It works exactly as Canon says it does. It works well. It makes very good prints. But I think the per-print cost to be a bit high, so I knocked the rating down to four stars.

I don't understand knocking off a star for the price of the prints (about 30c each) when all you have to do is research how much the paper costs before purchasing. I can see mentioning it in your review, but not knocking a star off as if that is a defect you found after purchase.

Terry L says:
I didn't say it was "a defect". I said the prints were a bit expensive compared to other ways of printing. Gasoline is expensive too, but I buy it. And while gasoline does what it does very well, I would give gasoline a higher rating too if it didn't cost so much.
And, as I said in my review, and I quote, "However, that cost isn't any surprise, as it can be figured BEFORE you buy this machine."
If the prints cost less, I would give this machine a 5 star rating. They do not cost less, so the machine does not rate a 5 star review to me. If the prints cost only 1 cent a piece, I would yell "wahoo" and give the machine a 6 star rating. But they cost what they cost. It does not matter when you find that out, either before you buy the machine or after you buy it. That does not change the reality of the cost of the prints. And because of the cost of the prints, I did not give this machine a 5 star rating. And that is my opinion because this is my review. Yours may be different. You can say so in your own review of the machine.
I have to rate the machine as I see it, because that is my responsibility when I review something.

Regarding the per-print cost:
I consider this printer to be, in effect, a replacement for the Polaroid model of instant photo developing. To be honest, I wish Polaroid-style instant photography still existed. Even in these modern digital times, I think there is still a place in this world for a camera that will produce a "hard copy" photo that self-develops right there on the spot with no further handling or processing whatsoever. But that no longer exists, so the best we can do is to have a semi-portable printer that we can hook our digicams to and print photos reasonably promptly, without going to the added step of later uploading them to a computer and THEN printing them at a later date.
Anyway, in my own long-winded way, what I'm saying is that if a "snapshot photo printer" is the modern digital-era equivalent of (or more accurately, "substitute for") a Polaroid camera, then the Polaroid system is what we should be comparing prices to. Polaroid photos used to cost about a buck-and-a-half to two bucks per picture. If a portable, PC-less printer produces prints for 30 cents a piece, that's a LOT cheaper than a Polaroid photo, so I'm not going to complain about the price. (And of course, a 4 X 6 print is more than twice the size of a Polaroid, so there's that, too.)

In April 2012, the MS Trust launched the GEMSS project - Generating Evidence in Multiple Sclerosis Services - a year long project that will help to generate evidence about the tremendous value of MS specialist nurses. Since the first MS nurses were appointed back in 1993, their role has grown and there are now some 270 MS specialist nurses around the UK. The MS Trust has been at the forefront of developing the MS nurse workforce, providing specialist training as well as a competency framework which describes the range of skills and knowledge that they need to be effective.
People with MS consistently say how important MS nurses are in helping them to manage the complex range of issues with which they have to deal. Neurologists and GPs also acknowledge how valuable they are in freeing up doctor time and in providing specialist expertise. But despite this, MS specialist nursing in some areas is under threat. There are still parts of the UK without a nurse, or where the travel distance to the nearest nurse is too far. And more worryingly, in today's climate where NHS budgets are tight, some posts are not filled when people leave.
In 2010-11, the MS Trust commissioned a study to assess the evidence for the value of MS specialist nurses. The result was a report, Defining the value of MS specialist nurses, which found that MS nurses are short on robust evidence to show that their services are cost-effective, and that more work is needed to prove this to those who fund NHS services. The report also maps the nurse post around the country and shows how patchy coverage is.
The GEMSS project is the response to this work. Four MS nurse teams, representing 13 MS specialist nurses, have been selected to take part. They are based in Dorset (Poole Hospital and Dorset Disability Action), Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, Dudley Group of Hospitals and Northumbria Healthcare. The teams reflect the broad range of different MS nurse teams around the UK: acute Trust and community based, urban and rural, large and small.
In May, the teams came together for the first time, outside Sheffield, for an initial training workshop. The project will give the nurse teams involved the skills to measure the impact of what they do and demonstrate this clearly. In addition, it aims to leave a lasting legacy for MS nurse services more generally by developing a set of common quality indicators and data collection for MS nursing services - including a new patient survey.
Vicki Matthews, an MS specialist nurse in Southampton for many years and nurse adviser to the MS Trust said, "This project is developing tools and information that I wish I'd had 20 years ago that would have helped me greatly in my job". Tracy Dean, the newly appointed MS nurse in Dudley, said, "Even though we're from different places, we've all got the same passion, and same desired outcomes for our services". And Cheryl King, MS nurse at Poole Hospital said "As a specialist service we can be quite isolated. Coming together it's reassuring to see we share the same problems".
Amanda Cheesley, Long Term Conditions Advisor at the Royal College of Nursing and part of the GEMSS project steering group, said, "At a time when all NHS spending is in the spotlight, it is vital that the value of specialist nurses is clearly articulated, so that these roles which are so important to improving the lives of people living with long term conditions can be supported and built upon. We welcome the launch of this innovative project by the MS Trust."
Projects like this can only happen thanks to the generous support we receive from people who donate and fundraise on our behalf. Thank you for helping us to fight for MS specialist nurses.

New Vintage Look
Soft-green granite covers five times more counter space than the kitchen had before, and a mix of flat-panel and beadboard-front cabinets—including a built-in hutch with vintage-style crystal knobs—triples the storage. Newly milled baseboard rings new oak flooring, both made to match originals in the rest of the rooms. The result: a gourmet kitchen that blends beautifully with its period surroundings.

A high energy mixture of rock, funk, reggae and punk fuel this Charleston based four piece. Since 2011 they have toured the southeast region, sharing the stage with acts such as The Expendables, The Movement, The Green, Passafire, Fear Nuttin Band, and Pacific Dub. Their first full length album, "Late For Tomorrow," is scheduled for release late spring 2014.
"South Street knows how to get down. Their music resonates with music lovers of all ages, but it truly hits home with the college-aged demographic," says Amanda Muirhead of The Music Initiative. "The band as a whole is definitely magnetic... They like to have fun everyday--but their music is no joke"
Lead singer Dexter Jenks and guitarist JR Spencer met while working at Pita Pit after their quirky boss insisted the two musicians meet. After a soulful jam between the two musicians, Dexter's close friend Sam Roberts was brought into the mix on drums. Dexter met bassist John Barry through the music program at College of Charleston; and South Street was born.
South Street's diverse musical backgrounds create an original sound that listeners can't help but nod their head to. Their energy and intensity on stage and in the studio are unmatched. Keep an eye out for their new single "Universal" streaming online March 2014.

Elizabeth Spiers to Replace Kyle Pope as Editor-in-Chief of New York Observer
Founding Gawker editor Elizabeth Spiers will replace Kyle Pope as editor-in-chief of the New York Observer, the paper announced today on their website. Pope, formerly of Portfolio, took over in November 2009 after interim editor Tom McGeveran quit. McGeveran replaced longtime Observer editor Peter Kaplan three years after the young businessman Jared Kushner bought the paper. Throughout Kushner's ownership, the paper has been plagued by departures, even at the highest levels. Spiers will be the Observer's fourth editor in less than two years. More on the switch-up inside our daily media column, Press Clips!
First, the official release (in part):
"I am very excited to be working with Elizabeth to further build on the great progress we have made over the past few years. She will be instrumental in taking our print and online products to the next level," said Observer owner Jared Kushner.
Spiers is the founder of Dead Horse Media, which created highly successful blog properties such as Dealbreaker, Above the Law and Fashionista. She has also served as founding editor of Gawker.com and editor in chief of mediabistro.com. On the print side she has been an editor at New York Magazine and a columnist with Fortune.
Pope, meanwhile, will stay on through March "in an advisory role," according to the announcement. "The paper made great strides under Kyle's leadership," said Kushner. "I know he will go on to do great things." Not among those strides was the high turnover, with the paper losing nearly 20 editorial staffers in the last year, including most recently their media reporter, who worked just three months in the role.
But unmentioned in the announcement is that the Observer has been working on some plans of their own, pre-Spiers, but with eyes still on the web. The product strategy and user experience consulting company Hard Candy Shell is working on a revamping of the Observer's website and has been for months, according to sources familiar with the partnership. Hard Candy Shell has also worked with Gawker and if there was any doubt that the world of digital media in this town is indeed tiny, here's a HCS founder at the launch party for the Spiers-led B5 Media.

In line with this, The Huffington Post is reporting that an Observer source said Spiers has been given the task of making the Observer "a website with a newspaper, rather than a newspaper with a website." Additionally, "[i]n her first meeting with the paper's staff, Spiers said she wanted to 'increase the metabolism' of the website." But she'll also be charged with putting out a newspaper every Wednesday.
At Capital New York, in the most intimately familiar assessment of today's switch, ex-Observer editor Tom McGeveran, who preceded Pope directly, was savvy enough to look back at Nick Denton's original manifesto for Gawker:
Gawker is an online magazine for Manhattan launching in January 2003. It's target audience is the city's media and financial elite. Think of it as the New York Observer, crossed with Jim Romenesko's MediaNews. The publication will be supported by advertising, primarily from real estate brokers and luxury goods retailers.
The intent has always been there, while the respect has not. There was a time in which the Observer, nevermind the New York Times, would never have stooped to even mention Gawker. That's not the case anymore. (The first tagged article on the Observer website for Gawker is from 2007; Spiers started writing Gawker in 2003.) On Twitter, Denton confirms his long-ago aspirations, writing that there's a "narrative neatness" to Spiers' "ascension." That's one way to put it. Another more cynical take is that it's a concession from the Observer: Spiers' way has worked and Kushner's hasn't. But that doesn't mean it's over for the paper.
"It's a beautiful brand that means something," writes McGeveren of the Observer. "For a time, it seemed, Gawker would mean that instead. Denton has since been explicit about the fact that it won't, and that they've got bigger fish to fry. That's fine for Gawker. But New York still needs to have something to itself." Spiers, then, is the logical person to bring Old Gawker New York smarts to a struggling New York paper. "The End of Blogging," eh? Probably not.

HH302. Nice size room, was listed as totally obstructed ocean view, but saw a little ocean. Room felt larger than on bigger Royal ships. Had tub and shower combo. Small sofa, with table and chair was nice. Plenty of closet space, in room safe. Not as quiet as we had hoped, near front of ship, lower promenade deck, Mornings when ship arrived at port, noises from below, maybe gangway, not sure. Had rough seas one evening, ship pitched quite a bit, but on the other hand, close to elevators, and to restaurants. Bed comfortable, room nicely appointed. Also surprised, but we could watch CNN, FOX, ESPN while on cruise. Nice touch to sort of keep up with the rest of the world. Overall, satisfied.

Broken Bones
Results of a study at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., suggest that the rate of wrist and forearm fractures among young girls has increased dramatically in the last 30 years. The study results, published in the Sept. 17, 2003, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that the fracture rate for young girls increased 56 percent from 1969-1971 and 1999-2001. Boys still suffer more fractures, but the rate of increase among young boys was only 32 percent. Overall, the Mayo Clinic researchers found that the fracture rate among young people had increased 42 percent over three decades.

The researchers had no answers for why this is happening. It is unlikely that youngsters are breaking more bones because they've become more physically active. One possibility is that kids may not be getting enough calcium during a period when their bones are growing rapidly. If so, their bones may never become as dense as they should, which raises the possibility that affected youngsters may be more vulnerable later in life to osteoporosis and hip and vertebral fractures.
The researchers noted that government surveys have shown a decrease in milk consumption among older girls and an increase in consumption of carbonated drinks. The phosphates in carbonated beverages interfere with calcium absorption. The RDA for calcium is 1,300 mg for young people age 9 to 18. This translates to 4-5 servings of dairy per day, but kids don't have to drink milk to get their calcium. Other good sources include yogurt, cheese, sea vegetables, collard and mustard greens, kale, bok choy, broccoli, canned salmon and sardines, tofu that has been coagulated with a calcium compound, calcium-fortified soy milk, fruit juice and blackstrap molasses.
Other experts have noted instances of vitamin D deficiency that could contribute to weakened bones. Our bodies make vitamin D with exposure to sunlight, and youngsters who spend too much time indoors may not produce optimal amounts of vitamin D. Spending 10 minutes in the sun without sunscreen a few days each week will do the trick, but it is not a bad idea for kids 12 and older to take a multivitamin supplement that includes 2,000 IU of vitamin D.

A family whose blog I have been following for a few months had sextuplets born at the beginning of August. I believe they were 22w5d. Three of them are still alive. Its so amazing to hear about these little miracle girls and all the struggles they go through. Those little girls are almost 2 months old now. Its just amazing. I read their blog everyday. That little girl, Dhiya is so cute! What a miracle. I have known a lot (too many) preemies who were born at 24, 25, 26 weeks. They are all doing great now and have no problems. Well, my best friend's sister is about 16 now I think and she is blind but other than that she has no problems. Its so sad the struggles that these babies so go through but so many of them do really really well. I definitely know all about medical miracles because of my family's own experiences (not with a preemie baby but something equally miraculous!).

I am hopeful that some of the experiences given in the following chapters may throw a little light upon some curious but very serious social problems. Corporate humanity always has had, and always will have, serious problems to consider.

I just install the plugin, it works very well, but when I put the calendar or minicalendar the translation is not working very well. It translate the days but it doesn't translate the "Previous" and "Next" links =S. I take a look at the .po and found that the translation was there but it seems that it's not making the reference very well =(.
Thanks a lot in advance.
PS: By the way, this is only happening in a Multisite Site, I tried it in a regular site and the translation works very well.

Fresh off visits to the White House and Boston University, Afghan President Hamid Karzai's last stop on his current U.S. tour is a place most heads of state don't reach: rural America.
In addition to addressing troops at Offutt Air Force Base and receiving an honorary degree from the University of Nebraska, Karzai was to visit a feedlot and farm on Wednesday.
Karzai's visit to the town of West Point is intended to give the Afghan president's group an opportunity to see how a city of 3,660 supports a sausage company and meatpacking plant, small businesses and farmers growing corn and raising cattle.
"You can go see a lab, drive around a city, but this might give them a real chance at seeing how a successful rural American city thrives," said Thomas Gouttierre, director of the university's Center for Afghanistan Studies.
Karzai also planned to visit the farm and feedyard of Harry Knobbe.
"In this country we have the right to own the land, to make a profit," Knobbe said, adding he and others hope to show Karzai and other Afghan officials that self-motivation is the key to good production.
Karzai faces economic and military challenges in Afghanistan, including the country's status as a major source of opium poppies, the raw material for heroin.
With President Bush at his side Monday, Karzai said he is hopeful that poppy production will be down 20 percent to 30 percent this year. The two men also signed a strategic partnership agreement that ensures long-term U.S. support for Afghanistan in economic, security and other sectors.
Afghanistan historically did not produce opium, Gouttierre said. It used to be a net exporter of fruits and nuts, particularly grapes, raisins, pomegranates, apples, pistachios, walnuts and almonds, he said. There also is good potential in Afghanistan for beef, lamb and chicken production, Gouttierre said.
