June 14, 2013 JP4 Said to Move to Summer 2015 UK-based fansite 'Den of Geek' is reporting a "solid source" has told them JP4 has been "formally put back to 2015". No official word from Universal yet, obviously, but I've also heard this would likely be the new target as well following last months high drama. T-minus, uh, 732 days? (Thanks Steven)
May 22, 2013 Sam Neill: Told JP4 is a "Reboot" In an interview with New Zealand paper The Dominion Post, JP (and JP3) star Sam Neill mentions he's been told JP4 is "a big reboot, a total re-jig" and that he likely will not be involved. Neill also talks about his current projects and his winery (which I still claim is named after JP), so do check out the article if you are interested in what Mr. Grant is up to these days. (Thanks Kristin)
May 10, 2013 Spielberg Told JP4 Filmmakers Script Was "Crap" Last Week? According to HollyScoopTV, a source "very close to the production" claims Spielberg never liked the script to begin with (assuming he's talking about the Jaffa/Silver one) but called the newly delivered re-worked script by Colin Trevorrow "crap" just last week. HollyScoop adds, "[Spielberg said] if they wanted him to be involved with it, it must be re-written." This comment apparently caused the chain of events leading to where we are now. Elsewhere, I've leared the Baton Rouge production office, which had opened last week, will be shutting down today. Work there was ramping up for filming at Raleigh Studios next month. UPDATE: Frank Marshall has gone on record on Twitter, saying the Spielberg "crap" quote is "completely untrue". UPDATE2: HollyScoopTV has deleted their original story (Thanks Timothy).
May 9, 2013 Trevorrow Tweets "There is No Friction", Says "We're All Directing JP4" In a tweet just now, JP4 director Colin Trevorrow semi-addresses the recent news, suggesting there is "no friction" between him and Universal, and that they are "giving us time to make the movie you deserve." He adds, a bit cryptically: "We're all directing JP4".
May 8, 2013 Trevorrow Rewriting JP4's Script Some additional surprising details on the situation this afternoon from Variety. They seem to suggest the problem is just a too-tight production timeline, however, it has been complicated by the added detail that as part of Trevorrow's contract, he is "re-work[ing] the script with writing partner Derek Connolly" (Connolly worked with him on "Safety Not Guaranteed". The earlier script was by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, who are best known for their work on "Rise of the Planet of the Apes"). Meanwhile, the studio began working on casting, and had "focused on" Bryce Dallas Howard ("The Help") and David Oyelowo ("Jack Reacher"), who had been front-runners to join the production. It's unclear if re-casting will need to take place following the delay. UPDATE: The Hollywood Reporter adds some more details, with word that Trevorrow's script was delivered to the studio from where he's been working on Hawaii "only" two days ago (shooting was to start 6/24). This caused "a new round of budgeting" to take place. Based on that, it was determined the release date could not be met.
Universal Says JP4 to be Released "At a Later Date" Commenting to Screencrush.com, Universal has released an official statement on the matter.
JP4 Fans Told Not to Panic More rapidly developing news this morning on last night's disappointing news that JP4 is apparently on hold. Following his late night messages about JP4, "digital asset manager" Todd Smoyer deleted his tweet saying "we were all let go today", replying to others that JP4 "is still gonna happen" and he has "complete faith in the project." According to fansite Jurassicpark4-movie.com, who received some info from a "reliable source", JP4 fans shouldn't panic. "Simply put," the site says. "The studio doesn't necessarily see eye-to-eye with some of those involved in the film's development and this has lead to some conflict." The source claims Colin Trevorrow is still helming the picture and the employees let go today were "about 80% of JP4's Art Department". Despite JP dino consultant Jack Horner's comment below that the script was the issue, apparently "the script is fine". The original thread at Neogaf, where this all originated, has been modified, removing the original tweets and adding that "Colin was crushed by this tonight, apparently."
Horner Claims Universal Working on TLW:3D and JP3:3D With all the excitement last night, a bit of actual good news may have accidentally been divulged. Jack Horner, who you'll remember met with Frank Marshall a few weeks ago, speculates one of the reasons for a delay in JP4 may be that Universal, "doesn't want to compete with the 3D versions of the first three" in an email to site regular Asees, which seems to suggest after the success of JP:3D Universal has decided to do the 3D "up-conversion" of the rest of the trilogy, possibly for release around the same timeframe as JP4 was originally slated (June 2014). I have reason to believe this is the actual Jack Horner, so this is certainly interesting news if indeed true...
May 7, 2013 JP4 on Hold? According to a tweet from someone credited as being on the crew of JP4, the film may already be running into trouble. "JP4 on hold" said the message (it was quickly deleted) from Dean Sherriff, who is listed on IMDB as a concept artist on the project. A screenshot of the tweet can be seen at this Neogaf thread. (Thanks 'Trillian') UPDATE: This tweet from digital assett manager Todd Smoyer suggests the issue may be a bit more dire. More as I get it... UPDATE2: Apparently script problems are to blame, according to Asees, who emailed Jack Horner for comment. Still unclear if this means a delay or something worse... UPDATE3: Todd Smoyer has clarified things, saying the project is on hold but the entire production staff was let go today (unclear if this includes the director).
May 2, 2013 JP4 to Return to Isla Nublar According to a a tweet just a few moments ago from JP4 director Colin Trevorrow, the next JP movie will return to Isla Nublar, the location of the first film. Trevorrow also attached a picture of a lovely Hawaiian scene where CG dinosaurs may soon roam. With the 2nd JP movie, Spielberg kept everyone guessing where the film would be set, eventually revealing it would take place on a mysterious "2nd island" called Sorna. JP3 returned to this same island.
April 22, 2013 Jack Horner Meets with Marshall, Trevorrow In a tweet and subsequent retweet by JP4 director Colin Trevorrow, JP4 producer Frank Marshall suggests the trio met this weekend to discuss all things JP. You think they'll spent any time talking about feathers?
JP4 Scheduled to Shoot in July According to this tweet from production watcher USA Productions (and later confirmed by JPLegacy.org forum poster 'Sandhu'), JP4 has been confirmed to be looking to ramp up production in just a few months in both Kauai, Hawaii (where at least some of the first 3 movies were shot), as well as Baton Rouge, LA. The latter had been rumored a few weeks back but makes sense as Raleigh Studios is located there, a facility with more than 150,000 square foot of studio space and where Universal shot last year's "Battleship" and parts of "Oblivion". (Thanks Carnotaur3 and Asees)
JP:3D BluRay Reviewed Big Picture Big Sound is the first to take a look at the imminent release of the JP:3D BluRay, which drops tomorrow. Interesting to note that while originally we thought there were no extra bonus features with this release, it seems one called "The World of Jurassic Park 3D" has been added, a 8 minute look at the 3D process with interviews with Spielberg and Kennedy, among others. Otherwise, the site notes the 3D changes the JP experience "for the better" while also seeming to clean up a good amount of the grain and noise present on the original BluRay release.
April 7, 2013 JP:3D Finishes Weekend in 4th Word comes from Hitflix that the re-release of JP in 3D came in a close 4th behind "Evil Dead" ($26 million) and "The Croods" and "G.I. Joe" (tied with $21.1 million each). It had a total 3 day take of $18.2 million. Hitflix notes "[JP] opened in a similar range of other recent blockbuster 3-D releases such as 'Titanic' ($17.3 million) and 'Star Wars: Episode I' ($22.4 million)".
Koepp Says He Passed on Writing JP4 In a conversation with the Portland (Maine) Press Herald, JP and TLW scribe David Koepp reveals he was offered the JP4 writing gig but declined just because he couldn't figure out what it would be about. "One movie takes a lot of thinking on a subject, " he said. "Two movies takes an enormous amount, and I just didn't feel like I had enough fresh thinking." (Thanks Kristin).
More Angry Scientist Comments on JP4's Non-feathered Dinos You've got to guess that new JP4 director Colin Trevorrow certainly didn't think the first thing he said about his new directing gig would cause so much controversey. Obviously he did not factor in the nerd anger possible when you combine JP fans, dinosaur fans, palaeontologists, and the Internet. This article from the New Zealand Herald has rangled up a few more choice quotes on the subject, including one from palaeontologist Darren Naish, who says he is "pissed off" about Feathergate 2013 and hopes Trevorrow will reconsider. "It helps perpetuate the notion that dinosaurs were all scaly dragons, alien and unlike modern animals," he said.
April 6, 2013 JP:3D Takes in $7 Million Friday, More Than Anticipated Hitflix is reporting the 'Evil Dead' remake edged out JP:3D Friday with a take of $11.9 million, however JP:3D's performance of $7 million was more than expected by box office watchers. This suggests JP's re-release will take in a total of $22 million this weekend, better than the "mid-teens" figure that was talked about earlier this week.
April 4, 2013 Could JP:3D be #1 at the Box Office This Weekend? Could we be seeing Jurassic Park back up on top of the box office charts this weekend just like in the olden days? According to this article from The Wrap, JP:3D will be opening on about 2,600 screens (300 of which in IMAX) this weekend, "Enough so that it will be a factor in this weekend's box office chase." The article adds, "Analysts are projecting a three-day total in the mid-teen millions and then it will eventually take in around $40 million domestically." The only real competition this weekend is the "Evil Dead" remake, opening Friday, and "GI Joe", which took in $40.50M last week.
Jack Horner Confirmed For JP4 Not really a huge surprise as Horner has talked about being involved in JP4 since at least 2011, but in this USA Today piece on the imminent release of JP:3D, everyone's favorite "Dino Consultant" Jack Horner confirms once again he will be on this project. He also suggests we'll see a new dinosaur making an appearance: "[Though] I can't actually tell you who that will be." (Thanks Jeff)
Spielberg Talks JP:3D In a video at the top of the same USA Today story, JP director Steven Spielberg talks about the conversion of the film to 3D, admitting he originally shot it in 3D "in my mind", saying he used a "trombone effect", where "creatures and people are running towards the camera", making it perfectly suited to the 3D format. He also names a few of his favorite scenes that work in 3D, including the kitchen sequence where he says the 3D adds a new sense of perspective.
April 2, 2013 JP Soundtrack Gets Remastered With 4 Previously Unreleased Tracks A bit of a treat for JP and John Williams fans today, as Universal Music has re-issued the iconic score on iTunes for $10 (it'll come to Amazon MP3 next Tuesday), including four previously unreleased tracks in the process. According to the press release, Williams and his editor went back through the original recordings to not only digitally re-master the tracks, but also find cues from the film that have never been released. They are "The History Lesson", "Stalling Around" (the much asked-for music to the "Mr. DNA" sequence), "The Coming Storm", and "Hungry Raptor". (Thanks John!)
Neill, Dern Talk JP:3D In this clip from this morning's Today Show, our ol' buds Sam Neill and Laura Dern talk about the "awe inspiring" JP:3D and reminisce a bit about the film, how they almost died in Hurricane Iniki, and probably most interestingly, show "Ellie Sattler" screen tests featuring Helen Hunt and Gwyneth Paltrow. The latter footage I've never seen before and is pretty amusing. (Thanks Yvonne)
March 28, 2013 JP3 Production Designer Slated to Return for JP4 According to this resume from his agent's website, JP3 production designer Ed Verreaux has been signed to return for JP4. Verreaux took over that project from JP and TLW's designer, Spielberg favorite Rick Carter, and since JP3 has gone on to do production design on "X-Men: The Last Stand", "Looper", and "Rush Hour 3", among others. Back in 2001 Verreaux told Fangoria magazine that while he was happy with his work on JP3, he wasn't certain the franchise had to continue. "Hopefully, there won't be 10 of these things," he said at the time. "At least, I hope I won't be doing them." (Thanks Bert and Oviraptor)
'No Feathers' Comment Ignites Mini-Firestorm JP4 director Colin Trevorrow's first real comment about JP4 last week was the simple "no feathers" tweet, referring to the decision of JP3's filmmakers to follow scientific findings and portray some dinos as having feathers. Like all things on the internet, however, Trevorrow has managed to upset some dino fanatics. This post at Neogaf summarizes a few of the stories published about it, including this one at Nationalgeographic.com where the author says that, "If Velociraptor and Tyrannosaurus are reprising their roles [in JP4], these dinosaurs should certainly have some kind of plumage." He adds, "That comes right from fossil evidence and evolutionary logic."
March 22, 2013 More JP:3D Screenings Announced Check out this page at UniversalScreenings.com to see if your city has been selected for a screening next Saturday, March 30th. (Thanks Kevin)
March 20, 2013 Trevorrow Tweets JP4 Dinos Will Have "No Feathers" In a message that was shorter than that headline and much shorter than this post, newly named JP4 director Colin Trevorrow tweeted this morning that JP4's dinos will be featherless, setting himself apart from the much debated look of the dinos in JP3.
March 17, 2013 JP:3D First Impressions Come in As noted last week, a special screening of JP:3D was held in several cities this past weekend, and a few people took to Twitter to give their first impressions. "I wasn't expecting much from the 3D re-release [but] I was blown away." says 'StrakAttack', who noted he saw it in an IMAX theater. "I was impressed by how good it looked in IMAX... The picture was amazingly clear [and] the sound design was brilliant." 'DavidBFox' said the film has "Never looked better" and "the 3D conversion was great", but "1-2 scenes looked off," a potential issue that was noted by the first reviewer as well, who added that "there were a few instances where depth issues occurred."
March 13, 2013 JP4 Director Named BREAKING! Per Deadline.com, Colin Trevorrow (pronounced "tre-VAR-o"), indie director of last year's romantic comedy Safety Not Guaranteed has been placed in charge of the latest JP movie. According to Deadline, the director, who made his last movie for almost nothing and which grossed $4 million, met with "the studio and filmmakers, [who] felt he was a good match for the material, having grown up a huge fan of the trilogy and part of a new generation of directors steeped in all things dinosaur." Frank Marshall, JP4's producer, said he's "thrilled" Trevorrow was signed, calling him a young director "who understands and respects the world that is Jurassic Park." Deadline added, "[The producers] felt he would preserve and protect the characters in the story they created." Safety Not Guaranteed, which has an impressive 91% on the Tomatometer, was billed as "from the producers of 'Little Miss Sunshine'", and given a 3 1/2 star rating from Roger Ebert, who called it "ambitious and touching", with "dialogue that's about something [and] characters who have depth and dimension." You can send your congratulations to Mr. Trevorrow (who is 36) via his Twitter.
Trevorrow Hinted at JP Connection in June, Promises Not to Make it Suck As noted on Collider.com, it's possible Colin Trevorrow, announced today to be helming JP4, was involved in pre-production of the film as far back as June, when his name had been cicling as possibly directing the first of the new Star Wars films. During an interview for a podcast, Trevorrow notes his previous film created "amazing opportunities" for him, including a potential project with a large fanbase. "I just want to say in advance that I promise you, for all of those who love the mythology that I will be tackling, trust that I love it as much as you do," he said. "And I will respect it, and hopefully make it not suck."
'Bourne' Producer Joins JP4 Along with the news of JP4's director was the tid-bit that Patrick Crowley has signed on as producer of the film, along with Frank Marshall. Spielberg will still executive produce. Crowley and Marshall have worked together on all the "Bourne" films as well as on Eight Below, which Marshall directed.
March 12, 2013 Free JP:3D Screenings Announced For Select Cities You can visit this page at Fandango.com to see if your city has been selected for a free screening of JP:3D this coming Saturday, March 16, several weeks before it opens wider, on April 5th. If you see it early, make sure you send in a report!
Spinosaurus Cover Phased Out on New JP3 DVDs This forum post at fansite JurassicPark4-Movie.com noticed something odd about the new "standalone" release of JP3 on Blu-Ray and DVD due out in two weeks, on March 26th: a new JP3 logo, without poor ol' Spinosaurus.
February 25, 2013 Laura Dern Not Sure She'd Join JP4 Cast After bowing out of TLW but shooting a short cameo for JP3, Laura Dern isn't sure about her status in JP4. "Oh, I don't know. We'll see what they do," she told IFC at the Oscars last night. "I know a little and it's been ever-changing. It's been evolving for many years as Steven has been considering it."
February 18, 2013 Kathleen Kennedy Has Better Things to do, Passes JP4 Job to Hubby In the "not too surprising" category, word comes via Frank Marshall's twitter account that his wife, mega-producer Kathleen Kennedy, will not be lending her talents to JP4 in order to focus on her new role heading up Lucasfilm and the numerous Star Wars projects now under her stead. Marshall, despite being in the news talking about JP seemingly forever, will get only his first JP producing credit. Incidenctially, there's a great article at Hollywoodreporter.com from a few weeks back talking in-depth with Kennedy's history with Steven Spielberg and their long partnership over the years. It contains an interesting ancedote about how, right before JP3 was supposed to start filming, Spielberg and Joe Johnston were ready to pull the plug over script issues. Kennedy had to "talk them down" while literally crossing the street. (Thanks
JP4 Toys Inbound Hasbro took the opportunity of last week's NYC Toy Fair to announce that they once again will be handling all things toy-related for JP4. Few details were provided, though the agreement gives the company free range to develop "action figures, plush, dolls, playsets, vehicles, role play, games, KRE-O branded building sets and novelty items." (Thanks Asees & others)
January 22, 2013 JP:3D Set For Blu-Ray Release April 23 If you can't make it to your local 3-D movie theater to experience the new 3-D "up-conversion" of Jurassic Park on April 5th, word comes via Blu-Ray.com that Universal is wasting no time in getting the 3-D disc out to market, scheduling the 3D Blu-Ray/2D Blu-Ray/DVD/"Ultraviolet" combo pack to drop a little more than 2 weeks later, on April 23. You can even pre-order it at Amazon.com now, if you are so inclined. Unfortunately, as Blu-Ray.com notes, it does not appear this new transfer has any new extras or bonus content about how the 3-D conversion was accomplished, which would have certainly been interesting. In addition, if you have not yet shelled out for TLW or JP3 on Blu-Ray, Universal is also preparing new individual Blu-Ray/DVD combos, arriving about a month earlier on March 26. (Thanks Josh)
Universal Planning Big JP Themed "Islands of Adventure" Expansion? Apparently while we were all depressed thinking JP wasn't going anywhere over the last year or so, those sneaky Universal bastards have been doing JP things in secret (see below): Now according to Florida theme-park fansite OrlandoUnited.com, Universal is planning two new JP rides at their signature Orlando theme park Islands of Adventure, including a "Discovery Center Dark Ride" that would mimic the JP tour Hammond takes the scientists on in the first film, as well as a "Amber Mine Rollercoaster". In addition a "Camp Jurassic" for the kids is planned, as well as new food and beverage options. Check out the full post for the details.
JP Fan Collecting "JP Testimonials" On the DJP3P Facebook group, super-fan Brent Kappel is collecting 1 to 2 minute video tesimonials from JP fans "about how JP has inspired you in your life". The idea is to edit them all together and send them to Steven Spielberg. As an added bonus, he's offering JP:3D posters for the first 10 he gets. Contact Mr. Kappel for more information.
January 11, 2013 JP4 Announced, Coming June 2014 Breaking... Universal Studios announced today JP4 has a release date. June 13, 2014. Very little info has been divulged except for the fact that Spielberg will produce, it will be shot in 3-D and no director is yet attached. Unbelievable! (Thanks, uh, everyone.)
November 9, 2012 JP:3D Trailer, Poster Released As the re-release of the original JP in three dimensions nears, Universal has dropped a new trailer and poster for your consideration. While unfortunately not actually available online in 3D, the trailer still does manage to dredge up some of those ol' feelings of wonder and excitement from back in 1993. Whether they'll pull off the 3D up-conversion successfully not, it just will be great to see Grant, Ian, Hammond & Co. back on the big screen again! (Thanks Raptor8, Eric, & Dennis)
August 17, 2012 JP:3D Release Moved Up For whatever reason, Universal has decided to move up the release of next year's 3-D retrofitting of JP, changing the release from July 19 to April 5, 2013. TheWrap.com notes it will now go up against supernatural thriller "R.I.P.D.". T-minus -75 days! (Thanks Daniel)
July 23, 2012 Frank Marshall Says JP4 Slated For Summer 2014 Talking to Collider.com, longtime JP producer Frank Marshall has gone on record (again) on the release date of JP4, saying to expect it "within two years", which would place it somewhere around 2014. He doesn't add too much, saying that advances in CG tech will enable them to "do great things." You will remember Frank is the guy who told us 2009 in 2007, and 2008 in 2006, so, uh, yeah. (Thanks 'juniorx eternal' and Eric)
New JP "Builder" Game Appears for Ipad/Phone A new touch-based Jurassic Park game for Apple devices has mysteriously appeared on iTunes, which looks to be a 2-D "park builder" game along the lines of 2003's "Operation Genesis". Created by French-based Ludia, it does not appear the game is avaiable in the US yet, but you can see some pictures and read (the generally positive) reviews here. (Thanks Brent)
June 21, 2012 JP4 Gets Two New Writers Word comes via Deadline.com that husband-and-wife writing team of Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, who penned the pretty well received "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" script last year, have been hired to work on the Jurassic Park 4 script. Whether they'll be starting from scratch, or adapting the much-maligned John Sayles script from 2004 is not clear, but what is clear is something JP4 has actually happened! (Thanks Eric and Jeffrey)
News Bites Less big news:
March 15, 2012 JP 3-D: July 2013 It was only a few months ago Steven Spielberg was teasing that JP might be a good candidate for 3-D retrofitting, the process whereby a cinematographer and a giant team of effects artists go frame-by-frame, "3-D-ifying" a film, and, well, lookie here: this Variety Twitter account goes and confirms it today, locking in July 19, 2013 as the date the JP dinosaurs will return to theaters once again. T-minus 30 days! (Thanks Dennis and Brent)
December 20, 2011 Kennedy Suggests JP4 Script Still to be Written, Asks "Why?" In a chat with Collider.com a few weeks ago, long time JP producer Kathleen Kennedy fieled a few JP4 questions, reiterating that the development team is basically waiting for a "great script" before proceeding. Curiously, she also raises some doubt that the project may eventaully get off the ground, saying "[JP] was never intended to be a franchise, so there's an argument to be made 'Why are you doing a fourth Jurassic Park?'," She adds: "We've gotta find a good reason for why we're doing a fourth Jurassic Park and we're in the midst of working on that right now." (Thanks Marcos)
Spielberg Says JP Might be a Good Candidate for 3D Retrofitting This Moviefone.com chat with Spielberg brings up an interesting subject: the idea that JP might one day be "retrofitted" and re-released in 3D theaters. "The only movie that I would ever even consider retrofitting is the first 'Jurassic Park'," he says. "I think would look pretty spectacular in 3D." JP would seem to be an obvious choice for 3D conversion, especially after conversions of Star Wars and Titanic have both been announced to be hitting 3D theaters in 2012. Of course the retrofitting process will never be as good as a movie shot originally in 3D but perhaps that is too much to ask.... (Thanks Dennis)
December 15, 2011 Spielberg Says JP4 Still Coming, Plot a 'Boring Secret' Now that Steven Spielberg has finished up his new "War Horse" and done with "Tin Tin" (although he is currently busy filming a Abraham Lincoln biopic), he expects to turn his attention to the next JP movie. At least, that is what he told Comingsoon.net. "I haven't been active in the last year [on JP4]", he says. "But right now, it's on the schedule to bring out another 'Jurassic Park.'" Pressed further on whether the new film will be a sequel or reboot, Spieley says "It's just another boring secret." (Thanks Ian, William, & Eric)
Gingrich Suggests Building a Real JP We here at DJP3P have historically not stepped into the political waters, though according to this article, we may have finally found a candidate we can whole heartily endorse. In Republican nominee candidate Newt Gingrich's 1995 book "To Renew America", he endorses fulfilling Michael Crichton's nightmare. "Why not aspire to build a real Jurassic Park?" he writes. "Wouldn't that be one of the most spectacular accomplishments of human history?" Now that's a platform we can all agree on: It'll only require overlooking his apparent racism, ethical lapses, and nutty tax plan.
November 18, 2011 JP: The Game Receives Scathing Reviews, Telltale Employees Accused of Vote Rigging The curse lives on. JP: The Game, released for PC and Xbox 360 earlier this week and as a downloadable title via PSN, has received a few reviews, all of which are sadly negative. This 1up review concedes that the game has a good premise, but pretty much everything else with the title goes terribly wrong, with the game offering "the interactivity of a DVD menu screen" and that its "one of the most passive gaming experiences to exist since Night Trap." Meanwhile, Telltale is apparently not helping matters, with this Gamespot article suggesting employees of the game company are submitting bogus user reviews to Metacritic in an attempt to boost its score.
October 28, 2011 JP: The Game Due for Release November 15th Telltale Games' "Jurassic Park: The Game", the episodic title that first began taking pre-orders in February, but was delayed in April, is now due for release November 15th, and this time as Telltale promised, it will be available for PC, Mac, Xbox 360, and PS3. (An IPad2 version will also be available soon after launch as well.) They're also taking pre-orders once again at this site, where you can get a physical copy of the game for PC/Mac, as well as a bunch of unique collectables, for $39.
"The Cult of Jurassic Park" This fun piece at Grantland.com looks at our little extended community of JP sites and fans as a tie-in to the recent release of the JP Blu-Rays. "Enough about Star Wars fanboys," it begins. "I'm here to talk about a rarer specimen: the Jurassic Park fanboy," and goes on to dive into the (admittedly) odd subculture we inhabit. The star of the article is certainly Terry from JPLegacy.org, who might take his JP probably a little more seriously than the rest of us, but is still very amusing nonetheless. The author appears to be a big fan himself, and delves into exactly what makes the films so appealing after all these years. (Thanks Matthew!)
JP Poster "Variants" from Mondo Tees A bit late to the game on these, but Austin-based t-shirt factory Mondo Tees has been on a roll recently selling "variants" of classic movie posters, and have commissioned a series of very limited runs based on JP from several prominent artists. They announce their sales on Twitter and often sell out within seconds. You can see the two that have already been produced here. A third in the series is promised in the near future.
October 11, 2011 JP Trilogy Blu-Ray Extras Detailed This page at Blu-Ray.com has some new details on what we can expect in the upcoming Jurassic Park Ultimate Trilogy (as well as the Ultimate Trilogy Gift Set), due for release October 25th. Besides all the extras from the DVD release, it will also include a new 2 hour, "six-part retrospective documentary" called "Return to Jurassic Park" that features interviews with the cast and crew of the films. In related news, a couple of the principals have been doing the press junket rounds to promote this release -- you can read short chats with Dennis Murren, Phil Tippet, John Rosengrant, and Ariana Richards here at Hi-Def Digest, here at Bloody-digusting.com, and video interviews here and here at IGN.com. There's also an awkward "unboxing" video of the "Trilogy Gift Set" from IGN you might to watch if you are considering the $120 (MSRP) version of the set..
July 23, 2011 Spielberg Confirms JP4 Though he certainly did not give much in the way of details, JP director Steven Spielberg shocked the crowd at the San Diego Comic-Con Thursday when he pretty much confirmed last months news that JP4's rusty gears were indeed turning again. "We have a story," he told the audience during a panel mainly about his upcoming film "Tin Tin". "We have a writer who is writing the treatment and hopefully we are going to make Jurassic Park 4 in all of our foreseeable futures, hopefully in the next two or three years." There are about two too many "hopefully's" in that quote for my liking, but still, exciting news nevertheless. (Thanks, uh, everyone..)
June 16, 2011 Spielberg Reportedly Working With 'Thor' Writer on Ideas For New JP According to this HollwyoodReporter.com blog, Spielberg has been "brainstorming" with screenwriter Mark Protosevich on the next JP film, though both a Spielberg spokesperson and Universal stress it is very early and no script has been written. The blog post also points out Spielberg has had connections with Protosevich before, including working on a remake of Korean thriller "Oldboy" that never came to fruition. Besides 'Thor' Protosevich also has credits on 2007's "I Am Legend" and 2006's "Poseidon". (Thanks Brad + 'raptor2000')
June 6, 2011 JP Trilogy on Bluray in October Word comes via ZonaDVD.com (in Spanish) that all 3 JP movies will be headed to BluRay disc on October 24th, with a pretty crazy looking "collectors edition" box which includes a T-rex figure with a "metal case" (click the link for a picture). If you don't want to spring for the apparent Hasbro cast-off, it is said the films will also be available as a regular pack with just the trilogy. No word on pricing or features or if we'll see any new content, but stay tuned.. (See BluRayFreak.com for more info.) Thanks Ian!
Sam Neill on JP4: "I Think It's Done." A jokey Sam Neill, at a press briefing last month, told a reporter that he believes the JP trilogy is finished. "I think we've told the story. I think it's done," telling an MTV.com reporter, pointing out that with no Michael Crichton and no Stan Winston, the future of the JP trilogy looks dim. "No Stan, no Jurassic Park, really," he said. (Thanks Marcos and Andrew)
Final Crichton Book Due Out in November JP fans will no doubt be interested to learn that Michael Crichton's estate plans to publish "Micro", the late authors' final novel, in November, according to a post at MichaelCrichton.com. Said to have been 1/3rd done when he died in 2008, Crichton left behind an outline of the rest of the story, which used by "The Hot Zone" author Richard Preston to complete the book. Thanks Joonas!
April 26, 2011 JP: The Game Delayed Until Fall Has the JP game curse struck yet again? Word comes from DJP3P regular Yvonne that Telltale Games notified her via email this afternoon that the game has been delayed until the fall, and all pre-orders will be refunded to "ensure PC players get the best possible game experience". Besides the refund CEO Dan Connors said in the email all those who pre-ordered will get a free Telltale game though it's uncertain if you'll be able to apply this credit to another pre-order of the JP series. It was only a few weeks ago that Telltale was sending out mass emails asking people to pay $29.99 to pre-order the 5-episode series (said to be a discount from $35), which was originally due out this month.
February 18, 2011 JP: The Game Trailer Released Telltale Games' super-quick development cycles are just about ready to give us the latest Jurassic Park video game, this one an adventure title for the PC that takes the player back to where it all started -- Isla Nublar. You can view the trailer at GameTrailers.com. Not sure I'm in love with the voice acting, but I suppose we will need to withold judgment until the April release of the first episode in what is promised to be a 5 game downloadable series (they are also shooting to eventually get them to consoles and the Mac). By the way, if you missed it last month, GameInformer.com had a exclusive look at the series complete with some concept art and screenshots. (Thanks Chris, Merijn, and Jaab)
January 9, 2011 JP4 Filming? Well this is kind of strange. Despite no announcement of a director, any actors, or anything of the sort, Theme Park Magazine's Twitter account has posted this pic, taken today, of a shooting schedule board at Universal Studios Hollywood, and uh, look at the last thing there, right under "Parenthood". Everyone seems to be just as confused as you and I, and I'd say it was a joke except TPAMagazine also posted pics of a big blue screen spotted on the backlot. What the heck? (Thanks Powerhouse)
August 21, 2010 JP Spoof Musical Debuts at NY Fringe Festival 'Jurassic Parq: The Broadway Musical', described as the story of Jurassic Park, "boldly re-imagined and retold from the perspective of the dinosaurs," opened last night at the Ellen Stewart Theater in New York, as part of FringeNYC, an annual celebration of alternative theater and musical productions. The show is (seriously), an "unflinching meditation on gender, sexual, and racial identity ... when one dinosaur in a clan of females spontaneously turns male." More info on the show can be found here. It runs through 8/27. (Update: Extended! Just received word that there will be 4 more performances, 9/9 through 9/18. Check the official blog for more information.)
Help Send a DJP3Per to Antarctica Long-time DJP3P friend 'Carnotaurus1' is competing for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Antarctica - and you can help him win! Stacy Trenary, as he is known in real life, parlayed his interest in dinosaurs (obviously assisted by JP) into an anthropology degree, and now works six days a week at a place called "The Dinosaur Store" in Cocoa Beach, Florida, selling authentic fossils and minerals. To vote for Stacy, visit AdventuresWithJulie.com.
June 9, 2010 Episodic JP Games in the Works Well this is certainly out of left field: Telltale Games, creators of short game titles released as "episodes", and who were previously responsible for a well-received series of "Sam & Max" and "Monkey Island" adventures, have licensed several Universal properties including Jurassic Park and Back to the Future. Said to be in very early stages of development, both the JP and BTTF games will be "intense" and "and add new backstories". "I wouldn't call these games sequels per se but a new interpretation of their worlds for a new medium," says Telltale CEO Dan Connors. According to GameInformer, the first episode of the JP game will launch this year on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PC and Mac. These titles will join the long and sordid history of JP video games, including JP games on the NES, SEGA, Super NES, PS2, and PC like "Trespasser", "Warpath", "Dino Defender", and "Scan Control" among many many others. The most recent was 2003's "Operation Genesis", a SimCity-ish take on the JP legacy. (Thanks Ian)
May 13, 2010 Crichtons' Art Collection Sells for $93 Million Fans of JP author Michael Crichton know the man who gave us rampaging dinosaurs had many interests -- politics, science, technology, computers, heck, even transcendental meditation. But fewer know about his love of modern art, works from which were auctioned off Tuesday in New York, garnering $93.3 million according to Fast Company. In the collection was Jasper Johns iconic painting "Flag 1960-1966", which sold for $28.6 million, a record for a Johns piece. Die-hard Crichton fans know he was a fan of that artist, and wrote a coffee table book about the American painter in 1977. You can view other images from Crichton's collection (and see what they sold for) at Christies.com. There's also a neat video overview of the collection here. (Thanks Charlie)
"The Pacific", With JP's Joe Mazzello, Ends Sunday If you haven't been watching HBO's intense 10 part mini-series about American Marines' experiences leading up to the end of World War 2, "The Pacific", you are missing one of the best works by an original JP cast member in years. An all-growed-up Joe Mazzello (whom I will forever call 'Timmy') plays Eugene Sledge, a young soldier who enters the war a God-fearing innocent but finds himself increasingly disturbed by what he experiences. In real life, Sledge would go on to write the book on which the miniseries itself is based. Sunday at 10 ET on HBO. (Thanks Nick).
March 25, 2010 IDW Plans New Jurassic Park Comic Book Series While the next JP film still may be a big question mark, fans will have at least some new dino content to look forward to, with "Jurassic Park Redemption", a new comic book series, due for release this June. Speaking to IGN Comics, IDW editor Bob Schreck reveals the first arc of the comic book series will take place 13 years after the first JP. "Hammond's grandkids are all grown up and are still dealing with the aftermath of the Islands and their sorted histories," he says. Universal gave the team "little restrictions" to work with in terms of plot, Schreck says, adding there are plans for a second arc of stories. Comic newcomer Nate Van Dyke will do the art for the series, with covers by a wide range of comic veterans, like Frank Miller and Arthur Adams. (Thanks Deeg and Ashton)
February 9, 2010 Johnston: "Different" Idea For JP4 In an interview with Drew McWeeny (aka AICN's Moriarty) at Hitfix.com, JP3 director Joe Johnston says they have moved on to a different idea than the one proposed in the infamous script we heard about back in 2004. That script, if you'll remember, was penned by John Sayles and William Monahan (the latter would go on to win an Oscar for his work on "The Departed"), and featured genetically modified hyper-smart dinosaurs that the main character is tasked with training. But in this new script, "[it's] not about the dinosaur park anymore," Johnston tells McWeeny. "It's about all-new characters.. It's something different that we haven't seen before in the 'Jurassic Park' world." But is that original idea dead? Johnston says maybe not! "Universal and Steven will want to keep making these movies as long as they're successful, and who knows? We may see the Monahan/Sayles version come back," he says. (Thanks Randy and Zach)
January 14, 2010 Johnston Says JP4 "Beginning of a Second [JP] Trilogy" Forget JP4, could both a JP5 and JP6 be in the future? Our ol' bud Joe Johnston, director of JP3, seems to think so in an interview with Boxoffice.com. "There is going to be a Jurassic Park IV," he tells the site, in an interview about his upcoming films, "The Wolfman" and "Captain America". "[JP4] breaks away from the first three—it's essentially the beginning of the second Jurassic Park trilogy. It's going to be done in a completely different way." Could it really be, more than a year after our last bit of disappointing-sounding JP4 news, the gears are slowly turning again? Sure sounds like it, but Johnston's involvement in projects through 2011 seem to suggest we might be waiting awhile (then again, we've been waiting since 2001). Though in this new "Avatar" age of films, it would seem ridiculous studios don't revisit franchises that might bring in the big bucks (A 3-D T-Rex anyone?)... Only time will tell I suppose! (Thanks 'raptor2000')
December 8, 2008 JP Producers Say JP4 Plans Fallen Through In what probably won't be a surprise to most of us, JP's long-time producers, Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall said yesterday that no new work has been done on JP4, and that Kennedy thinks that "maybe" the franchise is finished. "You know, when Crichton passed away, I sorta felt maybe that's it," Kennedy told reporters at a press junket for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. "Maybe that's a sign that we don't mess with it." Is this the end, JP fans? I'd say probably, but then again we've heard talk like this before. To paraphrase the great Troy McClure, "Who knows what adventures we'll have between now and the time the franchise becomes unprofitable?" (Thanks ComingSoon.net, Clinton, Ryan, Eric, and Mark)
November 5, 2008 JP's Creator, Michael Crichton, Dead at 66 Michael Crichton, novelist, screenwriter, and best known to us here at DJP3P as the visionary inventor of the fictional "Jurassic Park" in his two novels, died yesterday, according to a report at ETOnline.com, after waging what is described as a "private battle" with cancer. He was 66. Crichton started his writing career as a way to pay his way through medical school, crafting tight, reality-based cautionary thrillers that would become his style throughout his career. He was never afraid to tackle popular controversies, and in fact reveled in turning them on their head, plowing into tricky subjects such as sexual harassment ("Disclosure"), global warming ("State of Fear"), or, my (obvious) personal favorite, what he saw as the dangerous game of genetic manipulation ("Jurassic Park"). Popular not only for his novels but television and movie work as well, he is to this day the only person to have the #1 movie (JP), the #1 TV show (ER), and the #1 book (Disclosure), all at the same time. (Thanks Phil)
July 31, 2008 Several JP Dino Props up for Auction JP fans with deep, deep pocketbooks will be most interested to learn about this group of 16 Ebay items, all featuring maquettes, props, and actual real life animatronics from the JP films. Ranging in price from the understandable ($400 for Grant's Raptor nasal cavity) to the obscene ($60k for a full size JP3 raptor), these would certainly be fine gifts for a JP fanatic or, hey, a webmaster of a long-running JP website! The auction takes place tomorrow, August 1st. (Thanks Nate and Charlie)
June 16, 2008 Stan Winston, Dead at 62 A sad day for all JP fans today, as word comes via AICN that the father of Jurassic Park's dinosaurs, proponent and champion of live-action special effects, and "dino consultant" on all 3 Jurassic films, Stan Winston, has died. He was 62. Winston was always a firebrand in the JP community, with some accusing him of bullying directors to get his robot dinos screentime over the fancier (yet far more expensive) computer generated imagery. In JP3, he worked with director Joe Johnston to pioneer camerawork that seamlessly blended CG with his robotic creations in the same scene, often within the same shot. Winston loved to talk, especially to the press, and could always be counted on for an amusing quote or ancedote, often supplying us with juicy plot tidbits he probably shouldn't have revealed so early. Stan loved his work, and it was obvious he loved JP as much as we all do. He certainly will be missed. (Thanks Ian)

Location: Bee Research
Technical Abstract: Sudden losses of managed honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies are considered an important problem worldwide but the underlying cause or causes of these losses are currently unknown. In the United States, this syndrome was termed Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), since the defining trait was a rapid loss of adult worker bees. We conducted a classification and regression tree (CART) analysis in order to understand the relative importance and inter-relations among different explanatory risk variables in explaining CCD. Using a CART model with a specified cost of misclassification, we obtained a tree with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 67%. With this model, CCD was characterized mostly by a low level of coumaphos (a miticide commonly used by beekeepers) in brood and beebread, smaller colony size as measured but frames of bees, physiological disturbances which suggest decreased colony fitness (lower mass of the head and increased fluctuating asymmetry), and increased viral loads. The CART analysis provides further evidence that CCD is likely the result of several factors acting in concert, with the combination decreasing colony fitness and making afflicted colonies more susceptible to disease. This analysis highlighted several areas that warrant further attention, including the effect of sub-lethal pesticide exposure has on pathogen expression, the role of variability in bee tolerance to pesticides on colony survivorship, and the consequences of pathology on bee physiology.

Topic: Net sessions Posted: 16 September 2008 at 1:42pm |
Hi Guys,
I'm completely new here and wanted to ask some advise from some people wiser than I! A bit about me...I used to play a lot of cricket from the ages of 10 - 13 and then less so at school from the age of 13 - 18 (where I played tennis non-stop!) and then nothing at all until two years ago when I lived in the caribbean (where I played in a tape ball league). I played my one and only league match this year and again have the cricket bug, but...it's the end of the season!!! So my question is: Where can I play cricket in London during the winter, either in a league or just net sessions on pay as you play basis? All advice very gratefully recieved! |

You probably won't find any real outdoor cricket over here in the winter, because it's generally just too cold and too wet (although it's like that in summer and it doesn't stop anyone). Most clubs however do winter nets at their local leisure center or school during every off season. Major cricket grounds like the oval and Lord's also have nets that you can book and play in with friends or with a coach and a bowling machine (although that's quite expensive).
My advice when you get here would be to find a local club and play in their nets sessions, it's not hard to find a club that do winter nets and it's quite cheap to turn up and play. |

There are also quite a few indoor leagues over the winter if you prefer a bit of competition.
Plus many outdoor teams play indoor so you can move to outdoor play in April. |

Zuck on it, Google: 'Public' Facebook events are dead to you
Facebook is squirrelling away search results about its users' public events that could once be easily found through Google, The Register has learned. The move appears to have followed the unveiling of the social network's Graph Search, a beta version of which has been deployed to its one-billion-strong active userbase. Naturally …
Facebook is the new AOL -- a popular site which attempts to build a "walled garden," their own private internet. I hope in time people will realize how corrosive Facebook is and will leave it for more open pastures.
Facebook is the new AOL
To be fair to Facebook, at least I don't have a metric crap-tonne of Facebook CDs kicking around, plus dropping out of every magazine I ever touch. I could have built a house out of all the AOL discs that passed through my hands.
Re: Facebook is the new AOL
"To be fair to Facebook, at least I don't have a metric crap-tonne of Facebook CDs kicking around, plus dropping out of every magazine I ever touch. "
Somehow, I 'spect that if CDs were still a viable transport, you'd have enough new FB christmas ornaments to decorate a forest...
FB evil
I use FB mainly as a business tool of sorts (which is why I am posting AC) - but I am not easy about it at all. I reckon it's time to spend less time there, just popping in now and again.
This FB ideal of cutting people off from the web is insidious.
Pipl.com anyone?
Next maybe the Zuckerplebs can stop sites like Pipl.com from mining FB profiles..
... and stop Google caching PRIVATE profile PHOTOS! Its easy to see how data on FB is leaking like a sieve. Create a unique profile name then wait a while perhaps a few months and then :-
A. Search the unique FB profile on Pipl.com...
B. Search the unique FB profile name using images.google.com
If using google or yahoo remember to use quotes around the unique profile name and prefix a minus symbol to filter out the wrong close search suggestions…
Back in the day there was a standard mantra that went something like "there is no such thing as a free lunch"; indeed it became a cliche, an acronym (TANSTAAFL), and in recent times seems to have faded away.
Its great that so much on t'internet is free at point of use, but its worth reminding yourself occasionally that that does not mean you're not paying for it.
If you are going to quote, then get it right.
"there is no such thing as a free lunch"

Why would anyone want to seach anything on Facebook?
Re: Why would anyone want to seach anything on Facebook?
if you are a cretinous marketing scumbag, your whole entire job probably consists of typing strings into Facebook search like a monkey on amphetamines all day. It helps if you're the kind of pleb who watches X factor un-ironically. It probably also helps if you wear 3 inches of fake tan so that nobody can see what a visibly horrible person you are.
Re: Why would anyone want to seach anything on Facebook?
I've watched x-factor un-ironically. That is to say, I watched it for all of 2 minutes, thought 'This is utterly, utterly bollocks', and switched over.
Re: Why would anyone want to seach anything on Facebook?
I watched it for all of 2 minutes
You have my deepest respect for the depth of your scientific commitment. I never made it past 30 seconds.
Re: Why would anyone want to seach anything on Facebook?
Don't worry about it. These are people who make it to the first ad break and then intentionally wait for the second half of the show to begin.
nothing new
Didn't TBL write a hit piece about data silos years ago. I think he implicated Facebook as the major culprit.
Twas ever thus.
'It's also simple to find married people who "liked" prostitutes'
Er, seriously? The mind boggles:
First, that prostitutes have Facebook pages (I can see the status update - "OMG, got the clap!!!! lololol!!!! Best get yourselves checked out, boys!")
Second, that a married man would be insane enough to "like" one of their pages, given that would be visible to anyone on his friends list (and probably some not on his friends list).
"Prostitutes have Facebook pages?"
I see that you've been living in a cave for the past decade, during which social media became the *primary* means for prostitutes to hook up with their clients. A Columbia University study in 2010 showed that 83% of prostitutes already had Facebook pages, and concluded that "Facebook will be the leading on-line recruitment space [for sex profession workers] by the end of 2011".
Complete Satisfaction
What, you mean no more having to work out if those personal-services ads in the newspaper mean what they look like they mean?
You'll be telling me next that I can look at naked ladies on the internet
Re: Complete Satisfaction (Thad)
You can look at naked ladies on the internet.
You can look at anything on the internet, but you can't unsee any of it, and therapy may be required.
Re: "Prostitutes have Facebook pages?"
So, and of course this is purely for ...ahem...research purposes. How would one go about seeking one in their local area... or within 200 miles anyway. Preferably, clean, fully tested and attractive, willing to experiment and very discreet........... Like I said...Just for research purposes... and in case perhaps a friend.. yes that's it... a friend happened to require one. :-)
Re: "Prostitutes have Facebook pages?"
How about simply typing "escort girls" or "call girls" in the Facebook search box? Just make sure you're using your friend's account, mind.
El Reg may as well post knitting patterns if they're going to post stuff like this. I don't use Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or any other social media and I certainly don't care about what others post on there, whether they want it public or not.
Re: Yawn
I don't use Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or any other social media
Ignoring the irony of posting that as a comment (very social web of you...) you might want to consider visiting sites other than El Reg, or at the very least skipping over the posts about social technology issues.
Just a thought.
Re: Yawn
... or even bettter they could link to facebook pages about knitting !!!
(for all the other keen knitters on el reg like myself)
Re: Yawn
I don't use Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or any other social media
*Gasp* - you mean, honestly, that you actually have a, hang on, accessing infrequently used synapses.. ah! You have a *life*? Then what, pray, are you doing *here*? :)
Privacy controls work consistently across Facebook.
I think we all knew that - I know I left because of it.
Speaking of .Sinister..... Gotta love the FEATURE :-
'Upload your entire email address book... and we'll help you find all your old friends!
Giving out your email address to anyone anytime has become a whole other liability! Once someone uploads their address book you and they become inextricable linked, at least in Facebook's eyes, no matter how little correspondence occurred or how many years ago it was!
Its no longer necessary to have friends lists, you can be informally tagged guilty by address book association. The big mail hosters are the worst offenders here, as they automatically add contacts to the address book i.e. Google Gmail.
All it takes is for one idiot to upload their address book for you to find yourself being tagged in all sort of unwanted ways… That and the sheer amount of unsolicited Facebook and Linked-In invitations one receives is a real pain!
Re: Speaking of .Sinister..... Gotta love the FEATURE :-
That's actually a massive whole in the whole Data Protection legislation: a company has to give chapter and verse about what they are going to use YOUR data for, but there is no control over what they can ask your FRIENDS about you. That's why they're all so eager to get your address book - it allows them to legally bypass all that annoying Data Protection stuff.
I also hate the BS that providing your mobile number will increase your privacy - both Facebook and Google have been at this for ages. In reality, it allows them to build a mobile phone database - something we left behind when we went from landlines to mobiles. Personally, I very much like it that way - I noticed that the "do not contact for marketing" flag is very frequently ignored, usually by companies that simple operate from abroad so you cannot go after them without great expense so not having a public number is A-OK as far as I'm concerned.
Plan Zuck! That's where we wake up the dead....
What Facebook is in effect telling its users is that the company needs to build a web within the web in order to encourage everyone to create an account and make Facebook more money as it fends off Google.
Isn't that like Microsoft Network opening the cover of its well-deserved coffin (from inside) to horrible creaking? Bystanders are bound to get a yeast infection.
bbc, etc.
What annoys me is when the beeb, and others, actively promote facebook and twitter by suggesting that you have your say on said services. Are these two the only of their kind? and if not why should only they be promoted in this way? maybe they pay?
Re: bbc, etc.
FB gets constant free PR as its the darling of the media!
Zuck sneezes and even the BBC reports it like its real news!
Something stinks here!
Two teir Internet
There is the Internet, where public is "public".
Then there is the Faceberk network which runs atop the Internet and is only visible to self-confessed Faceberkers.
Personally I think this is a good thing. The less normal people have to put up with the vacuous, self-absorbed Faceberkers the better.
Way round the block?
Are they still letting Google's spider in to catalogue the pages or is it creating results on old cashe?
If its the former, then why not make your browser look, to Facebook, like Google's spider and have a nose round without joining?

Although Spring is here and temperatures are getting warmer, your skin might still be feeling the winter blues. Your skin might be dry, dull and rough. Knees, elbows, heels, and toes can also suffer from a winter in boots
What then should you do to get ready for Spring?
To take care of skin, you need to continue moisturizing those sensitive areas such as your feet, knees and elbows. Try applying white petroleum jelly, like Vaseline on all those areas that still feel dry. On your feet in particular, you can put socks on after application of the Vaseline in order for it to soak overnight. This alone will produce wonderful results!
Another time to use the Vaseline is under plastic gloves. While washing the dishes or doing any gardening, do not forget to moisturize!
Exfoliate, exfoliate… For the body you should opt for a brown sugar exfoliator. This is a great and cheap way of removing the dry dead skin cells. Simply mix some brown sugar with your shower gel. 24 – 48 hours prior to hair removal – albeit waxing or chemical hair removal, you should definitely exfoliate to soften the hair follicles. Exfoliating is also a must prior to any faux tanning. Again, remember to do it 24-48 hours prior. Never exfoliate on the same day!
Please do not exfoliate your face with the same product you use on your body, The skin on your face is much more delicate and should be treated as such. Scrubs that contain walnut and apricot are too rough on your skin and could very well damage it by causing microscopic tears on your skin! Ouch! Instead opt for a cleanser or moisturizer containing alpha-hydroxy or beta-hydroxy.
Ok, lets recap. During Spring, your routine should be cleanse, tone, moisturize twice daily and steam at least once a week. Always go for the mildest cleanser for your skin type. If you have dry skin, opt for a non-soap or alcohol cleanser. You should try a creamy cleanser instead. Your toner should also be alcohol free. Look for a moisturizer with an SPF of at least 15-30. If you do not have a steamer at home, turn on the hot water and wrap a towel around your face. Let the steam soak in for about 10-15 minutes and viola!
Here are a couple of wonderful masks you can do at home:
Brown sugar/olive oil/ginger body scrub: Mix 2 cups of brown sugar with 1 cup of olive oil and add a small amount of ground ginger. Mix well into a paste. Using circular motions, rub your entire body, paying special attention to elbows, heels, and knees. Rinse with a body wash and wet washcloth and towel dry. The result: Softer, suppler, and less dry skin.
Milk and honey foot treatment: Pour 2 cups of milk per one cup of honey into a basin large enough to hold both feet. Soak for 15 minutes, lightly massaging the mixture into skin. Results: Softer, smoother skin without harsh exfoliation. You can also use the milk/honey combo to soak elbows or hands, or pat gently onto the face and massage in. Always rinse with tepid water.
Egg white and citrus face masque: (normal to oily skin) — Mix 2 raw egg whites with 1/4 cup of fresh orange juice. Apply to skin and let rest for 15 minutes until dry. Rinse well with warm water. The result: Tighter pores and a brighter, less dull complexion.
Oatmeal face masque: (sensitive skin) — Mix oatmeal with boiling water according to package instructions. Let cool, then apply to skin and let rest for 15 minutes. Rinse well with warm water. The result: A radiant, moisturized glow.
Fashionistas, this Spring make sure your skin is glowing by properly adjusting to the seasonal changes. Your skin is
just as important, if not more, than those cutie outfits you are wearing already! Take care of your skin and get that flawless look you have always wanted.

"If the rich pay less, then someone has to pay more for this whole thing to balance out," he said.
One of the wild cards is how Congress will handle tax deductions, credits and other preferences. Ryan said the goal is to help everyone.
"House Republicans want to clear out special-interest loopholes and lower everybody's rates," said a Ryan spokesman. "We want to reform the tax code to help the economy. We don't want to raise taxes to pay for more spending."

Memorial Day weekend is upon us. Time to reflect on those who have served and protected this country — and in too many cases been scared, physically and/or emotionally, as well as those who paid the ultimate price. Memorial Day Weekend ushers in the unofficial beginning of summer. But it doesn't look like summer weather ahead. When we return Tuesday, we'll start discussing how we're going to fill our time until the first mayor or council member throws his/her hat in the ring. Then, we'll pounce. Now for your Memorial Day weekend Wild Card. Stay safe …
The Kootenai County Sheriff said Friday that he is compelled to drop the department's Boy Scouts of America charter because the organization is promoting a lifestyle that is against state law. "It would be inappropriate for the sheriff's office to sponsor an organization that is promoting a lifestyle that is in violation of state law," Sheriff Ben Wolfinger said. Sodomy is against the law in Idaho, he added. "I have talked with Chris Peterson about this and sent him a copy of the law," Wolfinger said. Peterson, who works in the Hayden office of the Inland Northwest Council of Boy Scouts, could not be reached for comment on Friday/Jeff Selle, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
Folks maneuver their way through the construction site for the McEuen Park renovation on Monday. The project is sure to cause congestion for upcoming events in Coeur d'Alene including Car d'Lane, Ironman Coeur d'Alene, Downtown Street Fair/Taste of the Coeur d'Alene/Art on the Green, Coeur d'Alene Triathlon and the Diamond Cup hydro races. (SR photo: Kathy Plonka)
This is shaping up to be one of the busiest summers in the Lake City, with the planned return of hydroplane racing over Labor Day weekend capping a full schedule of events that draw crowds from around the Inland Northwest. It also will be one of the most challenging seasons for traffic flow and parking due to major construction on the south edge of downtown. McEuen Park is being rebuilt at a cost of $20 million, and the work has closed four blocks of Front Avenue and wiped a large public parking lot off the map. It also will close the busy Third Street boat launch for the summer. And just this week downtown merchants learned the city will close several more blocks to traffic and parking for a three-week stormwater project set to begin Monday night. The work had been scheduled for July but was moved up/Scott Maben, SR. More here,
Question: Do you have a game plan to find downtown parking and attend events, like Car d'Lane and the Fourth of July Parade and fireworks, this summer?
I moments away from a three-day Memorial weekend break. You're probably ready for one, too — after the wild week we had with the local elections on Tuesday and then fallout from them for the remainder of the week. It'll be challenging to keep you entertained in the coming weeks sans fodder from campaigns and elections to fill the insatiable maw of the Huckleberries Online beast. I'll worry about that next week, however. For now, I'll re-post the Wild Card …
Kiersten Kerr, coach of the two-time champion Coeur d'Alene High Skeet & Trap Team, explains the photo and poster by Bruce Twitchell above: "We did just win state and our kids are very excited about it. The competition was in Boise on May 17th and 18th. There were 9 teams and 68 kids competing on teams from around the state. Our kids won first place overall, as well as first place in skeet, trap and sporting clays. We are very proud of them and look forward to next year. This our second state title (we won last year as well). The team was formed at the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year." Kiersten coaches the team with Bill White. (Click on photo to enlarge)
Question: Have you ever shot skeet?

It's National Bike Month, which got me thinking about a neighbor kid from my childhood. We grew up in the woods outside Sandpoint, and there weren't many other kids around, so we had to make our own fun. Most of that revolved around bikes, and my brother and I were pretty tame on two wheels — the most daring feats involving what seemed like precipitous jumps, but which were probably no higher than a foot off the ground. Well, this neighbor of mine, his idea of a good time was to ride his beat-up old Huffy to the top of a high hill on our dirt road, teeter at the top and pedal as furiously as he could to the bottom. At the magic point, just before the hill started to level off and his speed was at its greatest, this kid would let go of the handlebars and push himself off the seat — hanging in midair for a frozen moment as the bike continued racing, suddenly riderless, into the ditch/Zach Hagadone, Inlander. More here. (Inlander photo)
Question: What is the most daring thing that you've done on a bike?

… That negotiations between the Coeur d'Alene School District and the Coeur d'Alene Education Association have been suspended until new trustees are sworn into office July 1. An insider tells Huckleberries: "Due to new board members joining the CdA School Board of Trustees and the many end of school year activities that impact schedules, both negotiations teams have decided to postpone negotiations. The Tuesday, May 28th negotiations session has been cancelled."
State Rep. Luke Malek, R-Coeur d'Alene, addresses the North Idaho Pachyderm Club at Jonesy's restaurant on Sherman Avenue this morning, discussing the state-run exchange, which has upset some local Republicans who oppose Obamacare entirely. Malek also discussed his bill to protect emergency room doctors, which passed the Idaho House but narrowly failed in the Idaho Senate during the 2013 session. (Photo: Duane Rasmussen)
Question: Do the archconservatives in the local GOP still have Malek targeted for defeat in the 2014 primary — for siding with the guv on a state-run exchange? Anyone?
T. W. Clark Construction of Spokane Valley, Washington was awarded the Canfield Middle School Remodel and Additions general construction project for $5,818,600 which is a base bid of $4,964,000 plus alternate bids 1 and 2 for $854,600. The Coeur d'Alene School District Board of Trustees awarded the project to T.W. Clark during a special board meeting held at 12 noon today. The original project budget for Canfield was $8.2M. "We are ecstatic that we've had a great competitive environment with four contractors vying for the Canfield project," stated Chief Operating Officer Wendell Wardell/Laura Rumpler, Coeur d'Alene School District.

Question: Great deal, hunh?
Shoshone County taxpayers reached a notable conclusion in the May 21 election: More government won't mean more economic opportunity and prosperity. I suspect that advocates of urban renewal will try again. I'm more hopeful that advocates of urban renewal in other parts of the state, including those in Nampa, will take note: If your project is so wonderful, you ought to have no trouble presenting it to voters. Voters in Shoshone County rejected the creation of a new urban renewal agency by a 3-1 margin. The electorate simply didn't buy the sales pitch about the urban renewal agency and its related promise of "jobs, jobs, jobs"/Wayne Hoffman, Idaho Freedom Foundation. More here.
On its Facebook wall at 1:15 p.m., the Police Falls Police Department warns motorists: "
Idaho's sold more than $500,000 worth of its new $10 state parks passports in the first six months of the program, and state parks officials have high hopes the low-priced passes tied to Idahoans' vehicle registrations will take off big and help fund the park system. "The process is a little more complicated, but I think Idahoans have been so receptive," said Jennifer Okerlund, Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation spokeswoman. "I think sales are on track"/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise. More here.
Question: How often do you visit Idaho state parks?
Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo is defending his former campaign manager who lost $250,000 in campaign funds in a risky investment, while also calling the incident "discouraging" and "deeply distressing." Crapo's then-campaign manager, Jake Ball, loaned $250,000 in campaign funds in 2008 to a longtime friend's now-defunct investment company, Blueberry Guru LLC, which invested it into real estate ventures in Nevada and California that promised a quick profit. Instead, the money disappeared. Crapo said he wasn't informed about the bad loan until late 2010; he worked with the FBI and U.S. Attorney's office to try to pursue the matter, but to no avail; now, he's filed amended campaign finance reports for 2008 and 2009 to reflect the loss/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise. More here.
Question: Should Crapo have thrown this guy under the bus?
Do you recall that speeding ticket that Wayne Hoffman of Idaho Freedom Foundation received while in Kootenai County recently? Seems he got into a war of words with the Lewiston Tribune over it:
And he's not happy with the Tribune, which said the lobbyist and political insider was seeking to game the system."I have recently discovered that there are not enough hours in the day to correct the misinformation from the Lewiston Tribune," Hoffman wrote Monday. "No kidding, I would have to hire additional staff just to supervise the nonsense and misinformation, both from the Tribune's reporters and its editorial page."Well, it's true the Tribune's recent editorial about Hoffman's speeding incident glossed over the fact that he's a lead-footed recidivist. So in the interest of transparency, here's what the Idaho Supreme Court data repository shows:
Oops. We missed that. Pardon us. - M.T. Today's Cheers & Jeers column
Question: Izzit just me, or do you also think Hoffman should quit digging now the hole he's dug re: this issue is reaching sinkhole proportions?
