The Myth of Having Summers Off
"So you're a teacher, huh?" says the umpteenth Joe know-it-all. I know the tone, and I know what's coming. "Must be nice having summer's off," he sneers.
I don't know what mythical job this guy thinks I have, but I have never had a summer off.
I don't know who these teachers are who are supposedly laying around all summer sippin' sangrias without a thought of prepping for the year before them. But I'm not one of them.
In fact, is there really a "them?"
Bottom line is that every year since entering teaching, and you should know that I am a second career teacher, having come from The World Beyond, I have seen some of the busiest summer months of my life. This is for many reasons:
1. I generally have to work summer school because let's face it, who doesn't need the moo-la? And that's not just about the hours I spend with students, but the hours I need to spend prepping for them. I develop the lesson plans and set up my learning environment for a whole new slew of students that I'll only have for a month or so.
2. I attend or head Department and curriculum meetings that are scheduled during July and August. This summer, I'm working on developing the 8th grade ELA performance tasks for my district. But I'm not the only one. There are teachers all over my district, at every grade level, developing these assessments this year.
3. I develop and improve the curriculum that may or may not have worked over the school year, and summer's the only chunk of time to reflect and tweak those lessons.
4. I build a library of new lessons because, let's face it, I sure as heck don't have a lot of time to do that during a year that is packed full of high-energy, tightly paced, over-scheduled days. I go through my feeds and readers and pull resources to use. I create files to access during the school year. I develop Project Based Learning units to save myself much-needed time during the actual school year.
5. I learn the new technology or new curriculum programs I've been given. Once again, summer's the only time to learn them. So whether I'm being asked to pilot teaching with a class set of iPads (like last summer) or, having now passed those to another teacher, a class set of Chromebooks like this upcoming year, I need to spend my summer educating myself on the tools with which I will be teaching and guiding my students.
6. I write, I blog, I comment. In other words, I maintain my online relationships so that collaboration is easier throughout the school year. After all, not all answers will come from your own staff. You have to develop and maintain a VLC (virtual learning community) as well as a PLC. Resources come from everywhere.
7. I continue my own professional development. I take classes or attend webinars. I join Twitter conversations or Google Hangouts. It's a 24-7-365 education conference out there!
8. I heal and recharge my batteries for the next round of middle schoolers to come through my door. It's true. By the end of the year, teachers are limping towards vacation. And do the math: by the end of summer school, the mythical 2 months you are accused of having off really only amounts to 3 weeks or so until the start of the new year. And those weeks are filled moving your own student desks from the pile in the middle of the room, putting up your bulletin boards, shoving shelves back into place, planning, prepping, preparing, and scabbing over.
Teachers as Yearlong Learners
Back to my Joe Know-it-all: I really should've asked if he wanted to spend his year doing what I do. I spend my days, my minutes, and my hours existing at the pace of a middle schooler. Frankly, I deserve some time off after that. But the fact is, not only do I not get it, I don't know how I would ever function with it.
After all, thinking like a teacher never ends. And when you love teaching, you can't just turn it off at the end of June.
You still continue to search for books in every store to replenish your classroom library. When a big news story comes out, you immediately try to seek out that last copy of the New York Times to use as a primary document to refer to in upcoming years. You pick up props and realia to supplement your lesson plans.
The fact is, we need the breaks we get in order to do the job that we do 10 months of the year. And the other 2 months are spent doing other parts of the job.
Civilians don't realize the toll that teaching takes on a person, on their energy, their appearance even. You ever see the pictures of a president before their term began and after their term ended? Well, teaching's kinda like that. Adult humans aren't built to spend their days with hundreds of children each day. It takes a lot out of an adult to have their antennae up so high, so often, so consistently.
And yet we have troops of people willing to return to the classroom year after year, with no summer break, just for the honor of calling themselves teachers.
The least those civilians can do is acknowledge that while their children are at camp, giving them a break from parenting, we intend to do what we always do...be teachers.
Hope you are having a great summer.

I couldn't agree more with Heather Wolpert-Gawron. I have spent my summer developing new lesson plans for next year and researching ways to improve my skills. Although it's nice to be able to do these things from the comfort of my living room, I am still working. I have also attend a week-long workshop and several meetings held at school. I don't think those "Joe Know-It-Alls" out there would want to switch places with us.
I'm a 4th grade teacher preparing this summer by presenting a research paper on project-based learning in Ireland, then visiting teachers in England with whom I do Internet projects, to plan for the future of our classes working together. I'm reading The Hundred Languages of Children about the Reggio Emilia approach to educating children with sensitivity and regard for their childhood. I'm monitoring last year's kids in a 3D world called Quest Atlantis over the summer. Oh, I'm also pursuing a doctorate in learning technologies to be a better educator. The summer time off is fading quickly...
Love the blog posting...it is all so true. I work whenever I can squeeze time in between my kids needing to go here and there. I try to give myself a week off without doing any schoolwork, but it never happens. I always think about what I need to do, and end up back at my desk and laptop. These people that think our job is easy....follow me for a day!
I agree that teachers do NOT have the summer off! I am taking several classes this summer, not to mention other workshops that I am involved in. I am going to be teaching anew grade this fall, so I need to spend time acquainting myself with the curriculum materials. Not only that, but I am learning how it implement web 2.0 tools for my new grade level. Most of the world has NO idea what it means to be a teacher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't remind me! The only day when I don't see the end is the last day of school when all possibilities for summer are still open. But then the schedule starts to fill...Nevertheless, I get to spend my summer planning to be the teacher I want to be because when September sets in, the challenges will come a-knockin'; and if we aren't planning to be the teacher we want to be, we'll end up being the teacher who just settles. Thanks for the resources, by the way. I'm definitely going to check them out! Thanks also for checking into Edutopia and the Spiral Notebook Section. See, it ends up being professional development for us to read comments on our own articles as well. Take care!
-Heather Wolpert-Gawron
I think there's this misunderstanding with education that comes from everyone believing that they are an expert about. I think this stems from everyone having once been a student. I've said this before that "to know what it must be like to teach because you've been a student, is the same as saying what it's like to give birth because you were once born." Joe's don't know the struggles, the trials, the effort, and the love. Having said that, however, it's up to us as teachers to set the record straight and just calmly let people know the truth: that teaching is a way of life that never stops. Thanks for reading my blog, and thanks for reading Edutopia!

Great jacket for the price, lacks armor

Comments about Scorpion EXO Force Motorcycle Jacket:
It fits great, I'm happy with the fasteners and shoulder protection. The back protection is only a thin piece of foam, so I have ordered a back protector to replace it ($40). The elbow protection is better than the back, but not as sturdy as the shoulder. I'm going to leave it be, but die hard riders may want to upgrade that as well. I'm very happy with it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Racism in Morongo Casino
Posted in the Palm Springs Forum
1 - 4 of 4 Comments Last updated Jan 15, 2014
#1 Dec 17, 2013
I am friends with an employee of Morongo Casino and I had seen a very disturbing post on Facebook by another employee (Billy B. Bressler Jr.). He had stated the Morongo customers were "Wetback hipsters" and he was glad to be away from them while on vacation.I have seen the post with my own two eyes and could not believe a person like this could make such a racist remark esp. on such a public forum. I understand that this employee was not reprimanded and still has his job as a bartender serving the very customers he called "wetbacks". Does Morongo not have a social media policy? Does Morongo tolerate racism and racist remarks? Does Morongo view their customers as Wetback Hipsters also? Because if they didn't agree with Mr. Bressler's statements then this individual would be fired. I own a business and there is no way that an employee of mine would EVER get away with this sort of actions. I for one will not ever attend Casino Morongo and will be posting this very blog on every social media forum just like our racist friend Billy. Hope you readers do the same
#2 Jan 6, 2014
I have never been to Casino Morongo but after all their horrible reviews and now this, I wont be spending my money their at all.
#3 Jan 12, 2014
Clearly they don't know what the term "wetback" means.
Wow- I just used my dictionary to look that up, I can't believe its in the websters and oxford dictionary (on iPhone) if you click through it has the meaning that I thought it was (but would NEVER USE) people who swam a cross the rio grande to get to the US)
But I think you Hispanic hipsters are cool as shit.:p
In all seriousness screenshot that post and email it to the management. That's owned by big business that dude will be gone so fast his head will spin.
We are in a new age people we have to get past the racism! On all sides.
Don't let that knucklehead bother you. He's a mouth breather.

I won't go there anyway because when I tried to check in with a small cooler to their hotel they said I couldn't take the cooler to my room. It held all of 3 cokes......I guess they want you to buy out of their mini bar which the cokes cost around $4.

by Mark
I found these Nomad retractable trailerable houseboats, but was hoping that there might exist another manufacturer of a retractable collapsible house boats. If anyone knows of such, I would really appreciate it.
I don't think the wife will go for 40k for the Nomad, and hopefully there is another make of the similar concept. Now, the need for the retractable model is not the trailerable feature, it's that to get to my dock, I have a bridge/culvert to pass thru and a conventional houseboat won't go thru.
It's about 5-6 feet above the waterline to get thru and since the top lowers, I would be able to get thru. With my pontoon boat, I just lower the bimini top and I can travel to the bay. Hopefully, there exists another make to look at. Thanks, Mark
Reply - Answer
Well Mark, thanks for your post about the retractable houseboat from Nomad. It's an interesting design, when you consider that you can lift and drop the cabin portion. And from the photo, people can see that it's a very trailerable houseboat model also.
As to other house boat manufacturers that make small trailerable houseboats, you could look at the Adventure Crafts, and the Travelwave360, to see what models they have or make.
I think the feature that is rare to find is the collapsible cabin/structure. You may very well have to convince your wife to "up the budget", so to say. :)
Lastly, hopefully some of our readers will share and post comments about their collapsible, retractable, trailerable houseboat experiences. Feel free to use the "Click here to post comments." link found near the bottom of this page.

Nifty packaging
A while back a post on here referred to Anemone sylvestris. I hadn't come across it before and I decided I could probably squeeze some in so I actually ordered two plants RETAIL ;-) Normally I scrounge, propagate or visit the reduced shelves at the garden centre. They arrived today and I was impressed by the cunning little mini carriable three pot green house they came in. That in turn was inside a very solid cardboard box. I'm definitely keeping the carrier for future use.
Anyone got any tips for the Anemones or packaging tales - good or bad?
I lost all my Anemone sylvestris several years ago, but it was totally my fault. Originally they were planted with an Eastern exposure with just a bit of shade from a large tree. They still received a lot of morning sun. They thrived. Then in the process of redoing that bed, I moved them to a total bright shade area. After a couple of seasons in this area they disappeared. Moral of story: Give 'em sun for at least part of the day.
This is one of those plants I never thought I would be without because they self-sowed so much. The seedling popped up everywhere in that original bed. In fact, they were a bit annoying because they liked to grow right-smack-in-the-middle of other plants. I pulled seedlings like crazy. Now I'm without.
If I remember, individual plants aren't terribly long-lived - maybe 3 seasons or so, so don't kill off all of the offspring.
As far as packaging goes, I'm just grateful fewer and fewer mail order places are using stryo peanuts.
Oh dear - the place they are going is dappled shade. What I read about it said it was suitable for a woodland garden. I hope they don't peter out here. Do you remember if snails/slugs went for them?
I think it's always difficult discussing shade and dappled shade and part sun and all that. I tend to push the limits with sun because it generally just works better for me. Maybe it's my climate - not sure. Hopefully others will chime in with their experiences,
I really don't have any issues to speak of with slugs and we don't have snails, so I can't comment on that.
One other thing: The reason these things tend to self sow in the middle other plants is because of their seeds. They're like little puffs of cotton, so they catch on other plants when the winds blows them.
They are part-shade plants, they'll do fine in dappled shade but don't do well in dry soil. They are quite lovely in spring, especially if they decide to bloom at the same time as the brunnera :0). My biggest complaint is the foliage can get a little weedy some years, and if it's one thing I don't like it's weedy foliage. I have them tucked into a bed where I can't see the foliage easily from my main vantage point yet I can enjoy the brilliant white swaying flowers in the spring. I think you'll be happy with them. :0)
I ordered a slew of O. grasses from Santa Rosa Gardens a couple years ago. They used these neat nifty stretchy "socks" that slip over the 4" potted plants. Since I do a lot of plant trading by mail, these socks are great & I got about 4 dozen of 'em. They just slip right over the pot, zip, yer done-- keeps the soil in the pot during shipping & cinches up the plant. After having to spend hours in the past wrapping pots + plants in damp newspaper, paper towels, saran wrap or whatever else I could lay hands on, this was a damn handy extra "gift" to get in the mail.
I can now reply to my own question about whether slugs/snails go for Anemone sylvestris.
The answer, I'm afraid, is yes. One of my new two plants has been eaten down to the ground and if I hadn't stuck a label in would be unlocatable. The other is hanging on and has now got a protective band of slug pellets.
Well, they've gone for good I fear. No regrowth despite slug pellets and watering. One last straw of hope to clutch at. Can anyone tell me if the foliage normally dies down in Summer? I'm hoping against hope that the roots are still down there and they might re-emerge next year. What are the chances?
strange>>I believe you should be seeing something. but Hope springs eternal.
Hmmmm, now I'm not sure what I have they were given to me minus a name, Anemone sylvestris 'Snowdrop Anemones or Anemone nemorosa 'Wood Anemones' mine die down after blooming. Hopefully yours will come back from their roots next year.
There's an aruncus that sprouts up in the most inconvenient spot every year and my husband whacks it down to the ground after it gets to be about 3-4 feet and in full bloom, hopefully your anemone is the same way. I wished I could send you some of mine. I have been trying to control its spread for years.
Lost to snails - ipomea, joe pye weed, various delphs, hostas (goes without say), trollius, mertensia (but I am hoping the tough root might enable reicarnation), mimulus, rhodochiton, all my phlox drummondii - a whole tray in a night, and so many seedlings I have lost count. This has been an apocalyptic mollusc molestation....the french beans were planted half a dozen times, nets, fleece, even pellets.....a nightmare - I practically had to camp out and I am still having to do torchlight inspections since I foolishly sowed a million seedlings for a big autumn planting..
The only positive is that I now have a much better list of invincible plants for woodland planting - top amongst being primulas, hardy geraniums, foxgloves, geum and (surprisingly to me), heucheras.
Especially annoying after paying good money, Flora - although you might have saved me from further painful anemone experiments (many, and all, apart from the ubiquitous Honorine Jobart, a sad fail - although I live in hope of wood anemones -I planted a heap last year).
Tell me about it Campanula - the devastation gastropods can wreak is only really comprehensible to someone who's gardened in our kind of climate, I believe. Kind suggestions about eggshells and coffee are never going to have any effect. There was a snail climbing the bathroom window yesterday (outside!) morning. 3 floors up. A bit of rain in the night and off it had set skywards. I think I've shown this pic before:
Don't ducks eat snails and slugs? Maybe you could bring in a flock.... although I'm not sure how all the trampling and rooting about and pooping would fit into your garden scheme :)
ugh, even in pots things are not safe. I can't imagine.
Have you ever tried to loop a copper strip around the pot?
I do like the packaging, I've seen a couple pics from the UK of plants delivered this way.... also I love those Santa Rosa "socks". I hoard them for use in the summer to store dug up bulbs, they're just like those mesh bags usually used.... except I have no mesh bags, so socks it is! -socks, another good reason to order.... and they have a fall sale.... no. I will resist.
Unless I consider a few orders thrown out left and right to be "packaging research"? That might work!
I was working staining beams in a house and their yard had a major infestation of good sized snails. I took a bunch home for dinner and made my husband really happy. One could not walk in the yard without crunching on them. It was really creepy. They lined all the pots and the low fence. I parked on the street and scrubbed my work shoes off when I sat in my car.
As to the nifty packaging, It is good to see that some industrial arts packaging talents are being directed to these large nurseries. Annie's annuals and HCG have gotten both very different but ingeniously effective mailing systems.

In September, the Department of Computer Science and Information System's club, Numbers & Bytes, ventured to Charleston, South Carolina for the amazing opportunity of attending an entrepreneurship conference. "Startup Weekend" is a conference sponsored by Google that focuses on bringing passionate developers and entrepreneurs together to create projects in hopes of launching the next big million dollar idea. Eight lucky Coastal students from the technology focused organization Numbers & Bytes attended, including students from a wide range of majors: from Computer Science and Graphic Design all the way to Marine Science.
"The Charleston Startup Weekend was an educational, inspirational, and overall great experience full of opportunities," says Mary Best, a Senior Graphic Design major.
At the beginning of the weekend, Developers and Programmers lined up to pitch their ideas for mobile and web-based applications to the crowd, in hopes that other like-minded people would help them in the creation of that idea. Even a few Coastal students took the opportunity to pitch their own ideas. Kyle Anderson, a student majoring in Business, pitched his idea for a mobile app. "Check Please," says Anderson, "would let a user order food from a restaurant using their phone, then pay from their phone, and be able to have their table and meal ready when they get to the restaurant."
Another application was pitched by Information Systems major Hali Gallagher. "Even though I only made it through the first round of voting, I am still glad I pitched my idea. I knew it probably wouldn't make it to the finals since it would require individuals skilled in hardware, but I went up there anyway because I saw it as an opportunity for networking and feedback on my idea," explains Gallagher. "During voting, a programmer approached me about my idea saying that he liked it and continued telling me about a similar idea that had been done in cities with bike rentals. Slide your debit card and the bike rack would unlock giving you access to the bike, then your card would be charged until the return of the bike. It's kind of similar to the way Redbox movie rentals work."
After idea pitching ended, the voting phase began. Each idea pitcher was instructed to write their idea and what they needed to make that idea happen on a giant sheet of paper, and hang it on the wall for others to vote on. Everyone was given three sticky notes and instructed to place them on the idea they believed to be best. Anderson's app idea of Check Please made it through three rounds of voting.
After voting, teams were formed. Unfortunately, the students found that the ideas that were voted to the finals required skills that they did not yet have. Bille Le, another Computer Science major, noted that, "Maybe after the Software Development course we would be more prepared to attend such an event." The students still found Startup Weekend to be a useful and educational experience despite this setback. Christopher Williford, a Computer Science major, stated, "Going on this trip, I got to see firsthand how big app development was."
Startup Weekend helped students see firsthand which skills would be extremely marketable in their future careers. "I always encourage members of Numbers & Bytes to network, as it is a vital skill to have in the real world, says Ebon Moore, a Computer Science Major and Numbers & Bytes club officer. "However, I was surprised when I found club members in deep conversation and networking on their own without any push from me. I'm glad our members were able to network with people within their field of study. It just shows how self-driven and motivated Coastal students are." The students from Numbers & Bytes are grateful to have had the opportunity to attend Startup Weekend and hope to continue having the support to pursue more such opportunities in the future.
Acknowledgements: The Numbers & Bytes club would like to thank the Dean of the College of Science, Dr. Mike Roberts, as well as the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems for sponsoring this trip.

We've tasted protein-rich muffins for breakfast, sipped on savory black bean soup for lunch and snacked on pears, cheese and healthy no-bake cookies for an afternoon pick-me-up. Now, we're ready to seal the deal with a delicious dinner entrée: mini prosciutto-wrapped turkey meatloves, courtesy of Becca Boyd and her blog, Homebeccanomics.
Now three recipes into our four-part blog series, we return with a pair of afternoon favorites: Cocoa Almond No-Bake Healthy Cookies and Pears with Blue Cheese and Honey. You ate a delicious muffin breakfast and a scrumptious soup lunch—why stop now? Below, we share two snooze-busting snacks from guest culinary expert Becca Boyd and her blog, Homebeccanomics.
PEARS WITH BLUE CHEESE AND HONEYServes 2-4
On Monday, we introduced home cook, blog aficionado and culinary writer Becca Boyd, who maintains a mouth-watering recipe site entitled Homebeccanomics. Over the course of the next several days, we will continue our journey through a day of healthy eating, courtesy of Becca's creative cooking mind. If you enjoyed her warm and tasty Chocolate Banana Protein Muffins, wait until you try her Black Bean Soup with Bacon and Cilantro!
By eating your way through Becca's recipes, you will fulfill her goal—and ours!—of pursuing a healthy lifestyle. Our shoes promote positive foot, leg and back health, and Becca's recipes fill you up with tasty goodness; a win-win combo.
Saute bacon in dutch oven or large soup pot over medium high until cooked. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Remove most of the fat from the pan, leaving about 1 tbsp.
Add onion, garlic and thyme and saute until onions are softened and lightly golden, 5-8 minutes. 3. Add beans, bean liquid, chicken broth, tomatoes (in juice), and spices. Place lid on pot and set heat to high.
Bring liquid to boil and then take the lid off and reduce heat to low. Simmer 20 minutes to thicken and combine flavors.
Transfer mixture to blender or food processor (or use immersion blender) to puree soup until smooth. Return soup to pot and heat over low heat.
Chop cooled bacon and garnish sprinkle over servings of soup, along with a scoop of yogurt and freshly chopped cilantro.
Stay tuned for Becca's next two recipes: Cocoa Almond No-Bake Healthy Cookies and Pears with Blue Cheese and Honey.

While scrolling through countless recipes on one of our favorite websites—local writer Becca Boyd's food blog, entitled "Homebeccanomics"—our mouths watered, our stomach's growled and our appetites grew. We can only assume this response happens frequently; through dozens of snacks, entrées and desserts, Becca takes readers on a culinary journey, all while supporting a healthy lifestyle.
From Becca: Muffins can be a great way to start to the day. Pair these with a grab-and-go fruit and a latte and you've got a high-protein, high-fiber (not to mention delicious) breakfast, fit for a king. Makes 16-18
At Dansko, we strive to support hard-working teachers who spend all day on their feet—regardless of the continent, country or state they happen to visit. So when we connected with Lillie Marshall, a Boston public school teacher, loyal Dansko fan and adventurous world traveler, we decided to share her story (or, at the very least, one piece of her story!).
From the stone-covered temples of Cambodia to the gentle blue waters of Belize, Lille has covered a lot of ground. The curious school teacher, who once used a nine-month sabbatical to travel the world, believes in the influence of teacher-travelers and traveler-teachers; she takes pride in sharing diverse stories from people who love teaching (and traveling).
Lesson 1: Travel teaches brilliantly, is a wise economic investment in one's career and development, and should be made possible for people of all backgrounds and economic levels.
Lesson 2: Teaching is a wonderful career.
Lesson 3: Writing is transformative, bringing greater happiness, connections and opportunities. Share your story, and help others share theirs!

Decking Newbie Questions: Planning
We are replacing an inherited, rotten PT deck with a PT frame, cedar decking deck. A few details:
- 20x16', 5' elevation. PT framing/rails.
- 45 degree diagonal cedar deck boards, picture framed.
- bay window is an outcropping that hangs over the deck. The framing will attach to a flat wall.
1. We found a heat exhaust outcropping along/notched into the ledger board after tearing the deck down. Is this a problem? Do we need to build the framing above/below this? Re-route the exhaust vent?
2. Deck boards: 2x6 or 5/4 cedar? I have read conflicting reports on which will warp sooner. Also, are all 2x6 cedar deck boards fairly square and unrounded like their 5/4 counterparts?
3. What is your experience with concrete drying time? We've read it will take 4-7 days to set and need to have it done before my father comes to visit to help us do the construction.
4. Undermounting - we are looking for a simple installation that preserves the surface of the deck. We are intrigued by the CAMO deck system, which basically gives you a tool to drill into the sides of the board instead of the top.
Any other recommendations from your experience?
1. Is that a dryer vent? I don't know that I'd want most dryer air being directed at the underside of my deck. I vote for re-routing.
2. No experience with cedar decking.
3. We poured concrete on Monday, put the posts (on post anchors) and beams Tuesday, joist framing Wednesday, decking for the next 3 weeks.... You're not going to be putting heavy loads on the concrete right off, so I wouldn't worry about framing right away.
4. You won't find anyone here that will recommend any hidden fastener method. Face-screwing is the most secure method. Plug the holes if you don't want to see the screws (what we did; painstaking but looks great).
Other: use 6x6 posts. That's current code. Feel free to post your plans here, and photos as you go along. We'll all jump in and tell you what you're doing wrong. :-)
Good luck!
I noticed by your screenshots that you're using some sort of design software? You might have some better luck checking out better deck design programs.

Mystery Bug
misssherry(Z8/9SE MS)August 27, 2011
I've tried and tried to log on to the Insect Forum and can't do so.
I found this interesting bug, about 3"-4" long, on the top of the door frame area of the well house. It has what looks like a dragonfly or damselfly's body, but it's got those long, straight 'antennae' thingies that dragonflies don't have. Maybe it's a moth? If so, it's most unusual! I think it's pretty -

Cannes: Weinstein Co. Picks Up Reeves-Witherspoon Space Romance 'Passengers'
The Weinstein Company has acquired the U.S. rights to sci-fi romance movie, Passengers, starring Keanu Reeves and Reese Witherspoon.
The company has committed to a multi-million dollar guarantee and will spend a minimum $25 million on marketing the release. Wayfare Entertainment is financing and producing the film.
Developed by Reeves and Stephen Hamel at their Company Films, the script was written by Jon Spaihts (Prometheus). The film will be the feature directing debut of Irish TV director Brian Kirk (Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire).
PHOTOS: Cannes: Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake Hit 'Inside Llewyn Davis' Premiere
Reeves plays a character aboard a spaceship destined for a faraway colony whose sleep chamber malfunctions and awakens him 90 years before the ship is due to arrive. Facing a solitary life and death in deep space, he wakes up a fellow passenger, played by Witherspoon, and a novel interstellar romance ensues.
Hamel and Wayfare CEO Ben Browning are producing. Start Media's Michael Maher and Lynwood Spinks are onboard to executive produce. Exclusive Media is selling the project to foreign buyers in Cannes.
The Weinsteins have been busy on the Croisette this year. The company pre-bought the U.S. rights to the Michelle Williams starrer Suite Francaise, which starts shooting in June; and also inked a deal for Stephen Frears' Philomena -- starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan -- paying $6.5 million for rights in the U.S., Canada and Spain.
The Weinstein Co. also grabbed North American rights to writer-director Jeremy Saulnier's Blue Ruin, which is showing in the Directors' Fortnight sidebar in Cannes.

"Sometimes you just have to look at the blocking and some of those things," Rob Chudzinski told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "As I've looked at it, a lot of times there hasn't been a lot there for him. Brandon is a reliable guy. I have no issues with Brandon."
Jackson is likely set as the backup. Only Chris Ogbonnaya could be a threat with Lewis out, but Ogbonnaya is considered more of blocking back at this point.
"Brandon is a reliable guy," coach Rob Chudzinski told The Plain Dealer Tuesday. "I have no issues with Brandon. Trent will be the guy that we're counting on in a lot of different ways. We have to do a good job of keeping him fresh throughout the course of the season. I'm looking forward to seeing Brandon in the (Bears) game."
Jackson appeared in two games for the Browns last season, rushing for 54 yards on eight carries. He was a starter in 2010 for the Packers, rushing for a career-high 703 yards on 190 carries, with three touchdowns. He is also a solid pass-catcher out of the backfield, with 112 receptions for 864 yards in six seasons.

Mi e' piaciuto tutto, I proprietari sono simpaticissimi, il posto e' carino, l'ambiente e' familiare, lo consiglio vivamente a tutti. - Anonymous
The staff was EXCELLENT! The woman was always cheerful and willing to help with anything she could. I injured my knee and needed to go to the emergency room and she offerred to drive me there! The room was not fancy, but was decent and clean. Beds were comfortable, breakfast was pleasant. I would definately stay here again. - Anonymous
The views were outstanding - 2nd floor; the apartment was very cozy - home from home! We extended 1 more night because we liked it soooo much. The two double bedrooms were OPPOSITE each other - not next to each other - which was great so more privacy. Dishwasher, modern coffee machine and fully equipped kitchen; towels/linen provided. Open plan living (living room and dining area). Really great for two couples, one couple with one or two children or even one couple with mother-(in-law) (:- - Anonymous

Excellent location in the middle of the city, with great parking in the back of the hotel. We had a family room, which were two double rooms with shared hall and shared bathroom. Ideal for our family. We had a lovely balcony with evening sun, facing Germany's highest mountain, Zugspitze. Stunning view. Good food - chanterelles are in season, and the hotel had a separate menu of chanterelle dishes. Very nice waiter from Romania. - Anonymous
right on the main strip that leads to all of the ski lifts and trains. Fantastic if you plan to do any walking..everything is within walking distance. - Tammy
Staff very kind, the position of the hotel, the cleanness of the room - Anonymous
We had a wonderful stay at the apartment on our February Ski Holiday; it ticks all our boxes for size, cleanliness and location with a wonderful host who is happy to help. Highly recommend. - Anonymous
estrema cordialità - Luis
The staff was very friendly and even though we weren't suppose to get our room until 3 pm, the front desk made an effort so we could get it sooner (at 11am). And in the room they had brought in a nice baby bett with covers and everything. Since our baby was sick at dinner time we could not go down to the restaurant to eat, but the waiter just brought the food to our room. Very delicious food - the breakfast was also very good.
We will definitely be back. - Anonymous
bellissima atmosfera, un tuffo nel passato senza rinunciare alla pulizia e al confort. Personale disponibilissimo. Paese meno turistico di Garmisch, ottima la taverna di fronte - Daniela

learning the meaning of very useful words in spanish : ) (Madrid, Spain)
Life here in Madrid is truly like a siren call, many speculate that I will never make it back to the States. Today I really enjoyed the class. I found out what "joder" is. Pardon my French for those of you who speak Spanish. =P Bovi tried to explain to me but I didn't understand at the time. I asked Maria, my teacher, and she explained in great detail. It's my first bad word in Spanish....
