Genre: Elearning
DaVinci color correctors are the standard in post production since 1984. There are thousands of colorists worldwide who understand the performance, quality and workflow of DaVinci and love it as their trusted partner in creativity. DaVinci is the name behind more feature films, television commercials, documentaries, episodic television production and music videos than any other grading system.
Clients demand DaVinci!
When youââ¬â¢re in a room full of demanding clients with conflicting ideas, colorists know that only DaVinci has the quality, real time performance, creative features, and powerful control panels to make euphoric clients who love to keep coming back. Thatââ¬â¢s why clients always ask for DaVinci by name.
Realtime by design
Computer based solutions are always limited to the computer youââ¬â¢re running on. DaVinci Resolve when running on Linux smashes this limitation, because itââ¬â¢s based on a cluster of Linux computers with high performance GPU cards, so all processing is always real time. This means DaVinci Resolve Linux has all the power of a super computer for the real time performance you need when you're in a room full of clients. Add dozens of primaries, secondaries, power windows, multi point tracking, blurs, and more, then just hit play. It always works!
Scale as you need!
Start with a single computer on Mac OS X for lower cost, then upgrade to Linux for extra power for high resolutions such as 2K or 4K, stereoscopic 3D feature films, or real time grading of raw RED files. Itââ¬â¢s all possible with DaVinci because you can just add extra Linux computers and GPU cards via high speed InfiniBand connections. Only DaVinci Resolve scales up as your needs increase.
Engineered to perfection!
DaVinci processing quality is so revolutionary it won an Emmyâ⢠award for contributions to the television industry! All image processing is handled in the deepest 32 bit floating point accuracy, so even if you wind down one layer to almost black, you can still wind the following layer back up with no loss of quality. All effects, power windows, tracking, primaries and secondaries all operate at the highest bit depths, even when processing in real time. Thatââ¬â¢s the engineering perfection clients demand.
Optical quality processing
DaVinci supports flat gamma, linear or log images with equal ease and quality. If you need to resize, reposition or zoom any shot, then DaVinci Resolve does it all in real time at full RGB optical quality. Pan, tilt, zoom and rotate while grading mixed formats, mixed pixel aspect ratios and mixed resolutions all on the same timeline. Only DaVinci uses YRGB processing to independently adjust luminance using a simple control for greater creativity, such as slightly burnt out or de-saturated highlights.
Nodes for unlimited creativity!
DaVinci uses node based image processing where each node is a separate color correction, power window or effect. Nodes are similar to layers, but much more powerful because you can change the connections between the nodes. Join nodes sequentially, or in parallel to combine grades, effects, mixers, keyers, custom curves in any order for mind blowing creative styles, that are totally unhindered by technical limitations. You can reconnect nodes in any order for all types of exciting and cutting edge creative looks.
Mind blowing creative options
Every node has full YRGB processing with primary and secondary controls; lift, gamma, gain, hue, saturation, luminance, calibrated printer lights, matte defocus, image defocus, 3D object tracking, YSFX, Custom Curvesââ¢, soft clip, highlight, circle, rectangle and polygon Power Windowsââ¢, plus the new Power Curveâ⢠windows with full bezier control and independent inside and outside softness. Only DaVinci has such a mind blowing range of creative options to explore, and of course itââ¬â¢s all real time!
World's greatest 3D tracker!
DaVinci Resolve includes the worldââ¬â¢s most powerful 3D object tracker thatââ¬â¢s perfect for locking Power Windowsâ⢠to on screen objects. No more time wasting key frame generation! Just drop a Power Windowâ⢠into a shot, such as someoneââ¬â¢s face, turn on 3D tracking and press play. 3D object tracking automatically follows the objects movement, position and size, even if itââ¬â¢s tracking someoneââ¬â¢s face and they turn their head sideways! 3D object tracking uses 1 to 99 tracking points for real time perfect tracking lock.
Innovative stereoscopic 3D!
With the latest feature films in full stereoscopic 3D, DaVinci Resolve on Linux easily handles these new demanding workflows. With stereoscopic hardware you can grade and view two eyes at the same time, all in real time with no rendering and no proxies. Each eye can have its own or a common grade and you can change the position of each eye to change the stereoscopic effect. It's easy to group shots and grade multiple clips at the same time just by selecting the clips in a group or use a quad play head to review up to four clips at one time.
Let your emotions flow!
Colorists know that color correction is all about reaching into the image and letting your emotions and creativity flow to create the perfect shot. Itââ¬â¢s just like holding the images in your hands and molding them into absolute perfection. That's why colorists always describe images in emotional ways, such as warm, cold, soft and hard. That's the colorist culture that DaVinci understands. Colorists just cannot be truly creative when limited to clicking on fiddly small screen controls or by using pens and tablets.
Integrated control surface and software
The DaVinci Resolve control surface and software have been specifically designed by colorists to work together in total harmony. Controls have been placed near your natural hand positions keeping the on screen software interface clear of clutter for better visual feedback of your work. Track balls have been placed together so lift, gamma and gain can all be adjusted at the same time. Each control has a separate button or knob so you can instinctively reach out and touch every part of your image.
Heads up grading
Buttons can be set to any custom color, and with a huge 38 independent soft knobs with automatic color labels, youââ¬â¢ll never have to page through multiple menus for common adjustments. Full deck control buttons with jog and shuttle are built in. All grade memories and gallery still frames can be recalled with a simple press of a button. Only the DaVinci Resolve control surface lets you keep your head up and grading at full speed!
Grade raw RED files in realtime!
DaVinci Resolve allows full unlimited grading of raw RED files in real time so youââ¬â¢re not limited by time consuming rendering before grading. DaVinci Resolve reads and browses files direct from your disk array, SAN or files captured from the video input. Choose from a huge range of file formats such as native DPX, CIN, QuickTime, DNxHD and native RED R3D in 4K with full de-bayer all in real time. You can even work with TIFF, JPEG, TGA and BMP and up to 16 channels of audio!
Get your job done fast!
DaVinci Resolve is designed to handle all types of source material common in busy post production facilities. Get the job done fast as you can automatically link color correction metadata to the master grade. Load an EDL for an instant conform of your timeline and you can grade multiple versions of the edit all at the same time. DaVinci Resolve lets you view the offline against the timeline to quickly see and fix any problems. EDLs are handled in A or C mode and if you donââ¬â¢t have an EDL, then the DaVinci Automatic Scene Detector can create one for you fast!
Gallery stills and grades librar.htmy
DaVinci Resolve features the famous Gallery where grades and stills can be loaded and recalled instantly. Thatââ¬â¢s perfect for keeping your grades consistent all the way through the job and keeping all of your grading presets in one easily accessible place. You can even pull Gallery grades and stills from other sessions! Gallery grades and stills can be saved at any time with the simple click of a button, and you can even build a custom effects librar.htmy of your own!Code:http://www.netload.in/2day9qfzg4qm1/K4_fxphd-DAV210-Davinci.Resolve.part1.rar.htm http://www.netload.in/dateiNFQ4GSgHwb/K4_fxphd-DAV210-Davinci.Resolve.part2.rar.htm http://www.netload.in/dateiYOw58lZ7ri/K4_fxphd-DAV210-Davinci.Resolve.part3.rar.htm http://www.netload.in/dateicJEqqKLRox/K4_fxphd-DAV210-Davinci.Resolve.part4.rar.htm http://www.netload.in/dateiQ90WKrang2/K4_fxphd-DAV210-Davinci.Resolve.part5.rar.htm http://www.netload.in/2day9qfzg4tmx/K4_fxphd-DAV210-Davinci.Resolve.part6.rar.htm http://www.netload.in/dateiKxAX1fw9RH/K4_fxphd-DAV210-Davinci.Resolve.part7.rar.htm http://www.netload.in/datei4ymcq6QQJG/K4_fxphd-DAV210-Davinci.Resolve.part8.rar.htm http://www.netload.in/dateiaU694LTkyF/K4_fxphd-DAV210-Davinci.Resolve.part9.rar.htm

Anzac Cove
Today, Anzac Cove is the site of an annual Anzac Day memorial service, held at dawn on April 25 and attended by thousands of Australian and New Zealand tourists every year. Until 1999, the service was held at the Ari Burnu War Cemetery, but has since moved to a new site on North Beach known as the Anzac Commemorative Site. A monolith at the Ari Burnu Cemetery displays the words of peace and reconciliation that Ataturk delivered to the first visitors to the Gallipoli battlefields in 1934.
A visit to Anzac Cove will likely be part of a larger exploration of the Gallipoli Peninsula, including the Kabatepe Information Center and Museum, the Salim Mutlu War Museum and several battlefields, monuments and war cemeteries.

Reading of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying with Dan Radcliffe Takes Place in NYCRadcliffe
BroadwayWorld.com has a report online from a private reading of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," featuring actor Dan Radclliffe (Harry Potter) in New York yesterday. As readers will recall, rumors first surfaced of Mr. Radcliffe's involvement in this reading via a report in Variety Magazine last October. Today, the report, available to read here, goes through the audience members first impressions of the reading, which notes that Mr. Radlciffe was "amazing." The article goes on to say, "[Radcliffe] interpreted the role in a charming, adorable and fresh way. He sang great. I think everyone was there to see if he could do it. And boy, he really did it. He was great. He came off as a full-fledged musical star." Mention is made of Mr. Radcliffe's fellow actors, which included Rose Sezniak, David Hyde Pierce, Michael Urie, Mary Faber, Lewis Stadlen, Nancy Opel, Don Stephenson, and Renee Goldsberry. Of the overall performance of the musical, the report says, "The show seemed not out of date or old fashioned because of the state of the economy and what the world of big business has been going through recently. And there is renewed interest in this period because of Mad Men."
Please note, no official word has been given regarding a place on Broadway for this show. Stay tuned to Leaky for updates.
Thanks to Lauren and DanRadcliffe.com!

Have had for several months and love it! The interior is thoughtfully designed and it seems like I have more room than the larger (albeit very old) Whirlpool it replaced. Love the smaller ice cubes and the ease of pulling out the ice tray to fill a cooler. Although it does does not hold as much ice as the last fridge, I can use the convenient bottom drawer to hold ice so I can make extra in advance of having guests over. We drink a lot of water but have never worried about running out of ice. The lighting is awesome.

I purchased this refrigerator in June 2014. I like everything about it except, and it's a BIG except, the ice maker does not make enough ice. I've lowered the temp and keep turning on the accelerated ice production function. When nothing helped I called the service line and was told all they could do was send someone out and it would cost in excess of $200. Does anyone know if there is a fix to this problem?

replacement of 18 square feet frige. This side by side is a supplement to the counter depth frige. It will hold some frozen veges, breads etc and drinks not stored in kitchen. So far it is great.

This refrigerator has plenty of space with versatility in placing shelves. Love the ice & water dispenser, and the ice maker located on the door frees up space in the freezer. The price is also very reasonable.

With the Shelby County Schools Board of Education now involved in settlement talks with the municipalities, nearly all the parties in the ongoing federal lawsuit agree progress is being made.That's why federal Judge Samuel "Hardy" Mays, Jr., is apparently willing to give the negotiations a little more time to decide if the case should come to an end. It's common to marriages. A couple gets mad at each other, they stop talking. Then by the time they make up they can't remember what they were suppose to be arguing about to begin with.MORE: SCS discusses school houses in suburbs
When it comes to the ongoing Memphis-Shelby County schools merger lawsuit, alas, if it were only that easy.If the date evoked any sense of urgency in Judge Mays, he certainly didn't reflect it on his usual walk to lunch. But, on the day when all sides in years long city-county school merger were suppose to respond to a Mays request to determine if the multi-million dollar lawsuit should be dropped, the only agreement is that a settlement might not be that far off. It just wasn't going to happen Tuesday."The last round has been far more civil," said Bartlett Mayor Keith MeDonald. "Most of them have been done lawyer to lawyer.""I think the parties have made significant progress and will probably gets some results fairly soon," added Shelby County Commissioner Steve Mulroy."There appears to be some clear solutions in place for at least four of the six municipal districts," said SCS board member David Pickler. "There still appears to be some issues outstanding for a couple, principally Germantown and Bartlett."Trust me. For those of us who've been reporting on this story since the former Memphis City Schools board voted to extinguish its own flame in December 2010, these optimistic assessments of the secret negotiations is as close to a possible truce as we've ever heard.
But, don't pop the champagne corks quite yet. Three hardline issues stand out as possible deal derailers as lawyers for the Shelby County Commission, the six suburban mayors and the Shelby County Schools board get down to the proverbial "brass tacks.""The threshold question is attendance zones, which children will be educated in which system?," Commissioner Mulroy said. "The municipalities need buildings. Which buildings will they get and on what terms? I think there's also the question of open enrollment policy. I think on all three of those fronts the parties have been making progress.""We said all along, our scenario is we'd educate the children we're currently educating," Mayor McDonald said. "They've kind of turned around and said, "nah, you're not going to educate the children that we educate. You'll only educate your children in your city limits.'"So, if the talks are going well, why not just agree to drop the lawsuit that has cost taxpayers $7 million in lawyers fees and still counting? "Down the road, if somebody does do something that is wrong, then they should be sued," Mayor McDonald said. "But, nobody has done anything wrong at this point."Which is probably why Judge Mays can continue to take his lunch stroll at such a leisurely pace.

A Look into Making Low-Cost VFX Using Forced Perspective
One big headache of making films on a tight budget is having to sacrifice parts of your story in order to keep the project from costing an arm and a leg. Sometimes that's just the nature of the beast and completely unavoidable, but other times, with a little help from some clever visual effects techniques, we can save money and keep what we want in our films. Vashi Nedomansky of Vashi Visuals reminds us that, at its core, cinema is a medium of illusion. By setting a miniature Humvee in the sand dunes of California, he was able to use forced perspective to shoot a flashback scene with a realistic-looking vehicle set in the Iraqi desert.

Lebanon Reporter
---- — Killing some time as the Boone County 4-H Fair queen contestants changed outfits backstage at the fairgrounds' Witham Health Services Pavilion Sunday, emcee Tom Dull shared with the crowd at the queen contest that there have been three sets of sisters in the county's fair queen history.
That number increased to four Sunday as Kate Emmert was crowned the 2013 Boone County 4-H Fair queen. Emmert's sister, Abby, was the 2011 queen.
"Everybody was just unbelievable," Emmert said after the contest, visibly surprised by the news. "I'm so overwhelmed, just so happy and excited."
Emmert was selected from 15 contestants, and will represent Boone County at the Indiana State Fair queen contest later this summer. In the queen's court are first runner-up and Miss Congeniality, Lindsey Williams; second runner-up Jordan Paul; third runner-up Grace Rushton; and fourth runner-up Jackie Spall.

CATEGORIES MoviesSunday was a painfully beautiful day for a hung-over walk in Park City. Set in a bed of flawless blue, the sun refracted joyfully off slopes washed white by fresh snowfall and volunteers in neon safety vests, shoveling out paths for fest goers. Thankfully, the quality of the scotch I'd downed at last night's Save The Date party made the hangover more sufferable than your garden variety lager-derived nausea. It was a good thing because I was determined not to miss this morning's screening of Arbitrage at the Eccles, one of the festival's gold-plated marquee titles. Although Sundance projects an ethos of half-bearded hipsters and diffident indie chicks, behind the friendly volunteers and plebian shuttle system lies a firm foundation of money and privilege. Occasionally, that aura of aristocracy wafts down from the ski slopes, and it certainly suffused the Eccles auditorium when Arbitrage screened.
As filmmakers struggle to craft stories of the Financial World after the fall, they continue to face the challenge of navigating the towers of privilege without losing the audience's sympathy. Before 2008, it was easy: We lionized the Masters of the Universe unapologetically and didn't fault our films for doing likewise. Now that they've crashed the American economy into the highway divider, we loathe them with as much intensity as we envied them. However, Nicholas Jarecki's impressive feature debut Arbitrage manages to walk that treacherous path with startling assuredness as it tells the tale of an aforementioned Master trying to keep the threads of his Universe from unraveling. He's a shark with a heart of gold who justifies his moral evasions, like fleeing from the scene of a fatal car wreck or hiding a $400 million hole in his balance sheet, by the intricate web of lives dependent on his largesse. The story is nothing new--even the look of the film stock calls to mind 80s drama thrillers. (The kind of movies we used to consider standard studio fare). Or maybe it's the star: Richard Gere. More than anything, Arbitrage makes you appreciate the incomparable Gere, that quintessential silver-maned lion of the power nobility. Without breaking its flawless lines, Gere's face (now bearing a few more of those lines) can project anguish, rage, and despair and lose none of its playful charm. Arbitrage is essentially a standard potboiler, to go on Gere's Greatest Semi-Hits list besides Primal Fear and Red Corner -- but in his hands, he elevates it. In one moment, he has us empathizing with a protagonist who bemoans the vanity of the cloistered world that forces him into his moral evasions; in the next, he elicits dark admiration as he makes a devil of a deal against another silver-maned lion of the power set played by Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter. Perhaps it's a sign that the animal spirits behind our economy are brightening, but I couldn't help smiling at the guilty pleasure of watching the 1 percent get away with it one last time.
Not as bright was Stephen Frears' Lay the Favorite. It had everything going for it: Mr. Macho Bruce Willis; Rebecca Hall, one of the bright young actresses of her generation; and gambling. But even in the hands of a maestro like Frears, and despite all that acting talent, the story felt unfocused and inconsequential -- like a bunch of A-list stars trying to scrub off the sins of their success with a well-intentioned meandering indie movie. Which is exactly what this is. On the plus side, I am now infinitely less afraid of my bookie. On the opposite side of the indie spectrum was a promising start from young filmmakers: For a Good Time Call... Shooting L.A. for New York, hip shorts-director Jamie Travis makes a solid debut aided by a wickedly raunchy script from Lauren Miller (also one of the two leads) and Katie Anne Naylon about two Grammercy Park roomies who try to make their rent by opening their own phone sex service. Catching a ride on the Bridesmaids tsunami that proves even women can do crude comedy, For a Good Time Call... succeeds by virtue of its youth, energy, and indie can-do-grit--with a couple of assist cameos from Kevin Smith and Seth Rogen (Miller's husband). The emotional arcs aren't any more complex than say Superbad, but the jokes are tight and breezy and Miller was sporting a last-laugh grin as she recounted her and Naylon's trials trying to get the script made in the studio system. Despite Miller's intimate knowledge of how studios work as a former D-girl, no one would buy into "female broad comedy," and Miller said she protested, "Wait, there's this movie Bridesmaids coming, you'll see...!" Of course, they ended up making the movie on their own with the indie happy-ending that only Sundance could provide.
As for me, I ended my festival experience with the perfect coda. Catching a beer and the amazing end of the Giants/49ers game at Cisero's lounge on Main St., I had the quintessential Sundance encounter. One of the bright-eyed actors from Black Rock, Will Bouvier was at the bar eager to raise a glass to the incredible news that the film had just secured the festival's most sought-after prize: A seven-figure distribution deal. It had been splashed all over Deadline Hollywood, further evidence that while the power players may rope off every venue on Main St. to project the aura of exclusivity and fame that makes Sundance sparkle, the true prestige is derived from the talent of the filmmakers and their films -- because that's what the 1 percent, with all the money in the world, can't buy. So, they buy the distribution rights instead. Catching a cab back through the slush-strewn streets, I couldn't help smiling at that thought, as I left behind the mecca of American independent film to pack for the flight home.

A kugel is like a pudding but is made savory as well as sweet. Examples of savory kugels are potato kugel, onion kugel, broccoli kugel and similar. Sweet kugels are apple, noodle and rice kugels. I think that most of them are drier than a pudding is but it is similar. This cabbage kugel is almost like a custard and it is really great. I took a taste and loved it. I had to control my hand from putting the spoon back into the kugel.
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium-size head green cabbage (about 2 -/2 pounds), cored and thinly sliced
1 large onion, finely chopped
1-1/2 cups Rice milk
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup potato chip crumbs (through a food processor) and 1/4 cup for topping
salt to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray with cooking oil – 10-cup casserole dish.
Place oil in large pot. Add cabbage and onion; cook over medium heat until softened, about 20 minutes. Stir in Rice milk; bring to boiling. Lower heat to medium-low; simmer for 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. Let cool slightly.

By Lynne Hendricks
---- — He was the boy who walked her home — the boyfriend of Trista Zinck — who was lucky to survive being struck by a drunken teen driver in an accident that claimed the life of his 16-year-old sweetheart on Jan. 7, 2003.
That's how 17-year-old Neil Bornstein came to be known to peers for his final year at Newburyport High School, in the wake of a horrific accident that occurred a decade ago this week.
But according to the recently released memoir "Crash," penned by his mother, Carolyn Roy-Bornstein, the outgoing theater kid with a quick wit and great sense of humor didn't feel lucky in those early days following the accident, and has fought hard to bounce back from injuries sustained that fateful night, 10 years ago.
"Five days after the accident, he asked me to bring Trista to visit him and that's when we had to tell him she'd died," said Roy-Bornstein. "He pulled the blanket over his head and said, 'I don't want to get up anymore.' He refused physical therapy. He refused to eat. He wouldn't get out of bed. He just shut down."
And it didn't get much easier from there, as Neil struggled for years to overcome the effects of traumatic brain injury that stole his light and diminished his academic and social abilities. On the 10-year anniversary of the accident, Roy-Bornstein says her son has only recently begun to exhibit some of the lightness that marked his life before the crash.
The accident on that snowy stretch of Ferry Road near the Interstate 95 overpass was a watershed moment for Newburyport. It sent shockwaves of grief and anger throughout the city, and led to a renewed commitment in Newburyport to preventing teen drinking. Authorities pushed hard to trace the source of the illegally procured alcohol and to punish those involved.
Through the sharing of her memoir, released this past September by Globe Pequot press, Roy-Bornstein and her son are still connecting some of the scattered dots to piece together what happened that night, since Neil recollects very little due to the nature of his injuries. And over time, Roy-Bernstein says she is finally able to say without fear or shame that it's been hard.
"The reason I started writing the book is just to talk about the disenfranchised grief of being the mother of the child who survived," said Roy-Bornstein. "For many years, I felt guilty for grieving for everything Neil went though. I'd ask myself, 'Shouldn't I just be grateful he's alive?' And of course, I am. It took me a long time to realize this is a pretty serious thing we went through — are still going through."
Throughout his college days at Skidmore in New York, Neil struggled with depression and anxiety, along with debilitating headaches — all trademarks of traumatic brain injury. But Roy-Bornstein said her son also presented early on with a baffling set of symptoms that were sometimes difficult to understand, even for her, a practicing pediatrician.
"Initially, his personality was altered," she said. "In the hospital he was kind of disoriented and confused and belligerent and demanding and that was not him at all."
Though his leg lay shattered beneath him, in a hospital bed in Boston, he wasn't curious about how it all came to be. He didn't wonder why he had a broken leg.
"It was like his whole brain just shut down," said Roy-Bornstein.
Between administering pain and seizure medications and orchestrating a team of therapists to tend to Neil at their home in Newburyport, Roy-Bornstein began a 10-year quest to gather as much research as she could to help her son get well. She read everything she could about breakthrough work being done with brain injury victims.
Her work led her to the Brain Injury Association, where she attended conferences and seminars on the myriad effects of brain trauma. And eventually, the group anointed her with an ambassadorship, entreating her to visit high schools and colleges and speak to students about the dangers of drunken driving, and to educate medical professionals and doctors and Kiwanis and Rotary clubs, on the short- and long-term effects of brain damage.
"He's definitely a different person today than he was before the accident," said Roy-Bornstein. "Maybe not in ways you would notice. If you met him, you'd notice what a nice young man he is."
But in her book, Roy-Bornstein talks about the instances where her son demonstrates behavior she doesn't recognize.
"I ask myself, is that the brain injury or is it Neil?" she said.
When Neil read that part of her book, he told his mom that he wonders the same thing himself. But in the end, he told her, it doesn't really matter.
"'This is just how I am now,'" he said.
Today he is enrolled in a graduate school program at UNH, getting good grades and advocating for himself with the school to accommodate the symptoms that endure. About one year ago, said Roy-Bornstein, Neil started dating a girl he's still with today. It was his first relationship since the accident — since Trista.
He still carries the long-held dream he had when still a senior at Newburyport High School, to become a math teacher. And as a math teaching assistant at UNH, he's close to seeing that dream become a reality.
Though Roy-Bornstein said she seldom dwells on the person responsible for her son's troubles and for Trista's death, she's forced to think of him when his case comes back before the judge. Scheduled to get out of jail in 2014, William White was eligible for parole in September but was denied. It's Roy-Bornstein's feeling that the judge recognized something she and the Zinck family have long lamented, what they feel is White's apparent lack of remorse for his actions.
Out on a suspended sentence with conditions several years after the accident, White was remanded to fulfill his sentence shortly after, having been seen at a bar drinking alcohol against court orders. His lack of contrition, she said, has been difficult to process.
"I remember wishing it was just some old lady or old man who swerved and lost control, where that would not really be their fault," she said. "The kid that bought the alcohol for (White) was clearly shaken and remorseful and changed for life. That changed him completely as opposed to William White, who I'm not sure is capable of that kind of insight and reflection."

Ever since "Blue Valentine" got nailed with a baffling NC-17 rating, things have been uncharacteristically quiet from the Weinstein camp. And now we know why. Harvey Weinstein has been busy hiring lawyers (in what we hope inspires the best "Law & Order: Los Angeles" episode ever).
EW reports that Weinstein has hired Alan Friedman and David Boies to help in his battle against the MPAA. Friedman has experience with the MPAA, helping Weinstein overturn an NC-17 rating for Kevin Smith's "Zack And Miri Make A Porno" while Boies represented Gore in Bush v. Gore and helped battle California's Proposition 8 ban on gay marriage. In other words, Harvey is going in there guns blazing.
While there has been some speculation as to which scene in particular so offended the MPAA they had to tag the film with an NC-17 rating, according to Weinstein, the scene in question shows Ryan Gosling's character performing oral sex on Michelle Williams'.
Pointing out the inconsistency of the MPAA, Harvey draws up an example of a film released by his brother Bob Weinstein's Dimension Films earlier this year saying, "If ['Piranha 3D'] got an NC-17, I'd be the first going, 'All right, we gotta cut some of that stuff.' It's ridiculous — a penis got coughed up in the movie by a piranha! They show more in four scenes [in that movie] than we do in [all of 'Blue Valentine']! And ours is a serious love story. I don't understand it."
Moreover, Weinstein is fully aware of how an NC-17 rating will affect not only the box office but his awards chances adding, "....I'm worried that if we don't get the R it could jeopardize the business of the movie and more importantly my actors … because they are eminently nominatable."
As to whether or not they will edit the film in order to secure a much more box office- and awards-friendly rating Weinstein says he will not take any scissors to Derek Cianfrance's film. If there is anything to be learned from any of this, particularly for you aspiring filmmakers out there, its that a chewed-up and regurgitated penis is more likely to get an R rating than an honest, though not particularly explicit, sex scene in a relationship drama.
Dexter | November 8, 2010 6:21 AM
I was at a screening of this movie at the Denver Starz Film Festival yesterday, along with Derek Cianfrance and his family (he's from Colorado, and went to school here).
At the end of the Q&A, the host said something along the lines of, "thanks Derek, we look forward to hopefully seeing your film in wider release later this year, depending on the MPAA ..." and he cut her off, emphatically saying that the film WILL see a wider release in December, and it WILL be this version. Perhaps it was wishful thinking on his part, (so take it with a grain of salt) but he seemed pretty confident that he wouldn't be making any cuts.
Oh, and I absolutely loved the film!
