Pacific Rubiales responds to false media report published on its STAR technology
TORONTO, Jan. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp. (TSX: PRE) (BVC: PREC) (BOVESPA: PREB) announced today that while it is a general policy not to comment on market or media rumours, the Company would like to formally refute the false media report recently published on its proprietary Synchronized Thermal Additional Recovery ("STAR") technology.
Recent results from three independent engineers have shown the Company's STAR technology has demonstrated at least a doubling of the primary recovery factor at the Quifa SW pilot project. In addition, using the STAR technology, the Company has been able to reduce the cumulative water cut in the pilot project by approximately 40 percent. The Company stands by these results and reiterates that STAR has performed in line with its expectations.
The Company has received approval from Ecopetrol, S.A. (its partner in the Quifa SW Field) to convert two to six adjacent existing commercial scale pads, currently producing under primary recovery, to STAR wells in the first half of 2014 and will continue to roll out the project to full commercial scale throughout 2014.
STAR is expected to increase reserves and extend reservoir life, which will have the effect of reducing future DD&A costs in the Company's heavy oil fields. The technology is specifically designed for the unique characteristics associated with Colombia's heavy oil fields and is expected to be applicable to the Company's large inventory of heavy oil fields on production, under development and in exploration stages.
The Company has been granted two exclusive 20 year patents in Colombia for the application of its STAR technology and believes that it is a potential game-changer for Pacific Rubiales and for the future of oil production in Colombia.
The Company is actively negotiating a new contract for the Rubiales Field that would extend beyond the primary contract, which expires in mid-2016. The proposed contract would be based on the implementation of STAR at sole risk, in return for a new contract for incremental secondary oil volumes, extending beyond the 2016 expiry. STAR volumes are not currently factored into the Company's five year production forecast.
Pacific Rubiales is a Canadian incorporated and publicly listed company and as such holds itself to the highest standards of corporate governance. The Company, which has oil and gas operations and development properties in Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Guatemala, Guyana and Papua New Guinea, is focused on providing value to its various stakeholders and conducts all of its activities in a sustainable, safe and socially responsible manner.
Pacific Rubiales, a Canadian company and producer of natural gas and crude oil, owns 100% of Meta Petroleum Corp., which operates the Rubiales, Piriri and Quifa heavy oil fields in the Llanos Basin, and 100% of Pacific Stratus Energy Colombia Corp., which operates the La Creciente natural gas field in the northwestern area of Colombia. Pacific Rubiales has also acquired 100% of Petrominerales Ltd., which owns light and heavy oil assets in Colombia and oil and gas assets in Peru, 100% of PetroMagdalena Energy Corp., which owns light oil assets in Colombia, and 100% of C&C Energia Ltd., which owns light oil assets in the Llanos Basin. In addition, the Company has a diversified portfolio of assets beyond Colombia, which includes producing and exploration assets in Peru, Guatemala, Brazil, Guyana and Papua New Guinea.
The Company's common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and La Bolsa de Valores de Colombia and as Brazilian Depositary Receipts on Brazil's Bolsa de Valores Mercadorias e Futuros under the ticker symbols PRE, PREC, and PREB, respectively.

12oz long neck.
A) Pours with two finger head, then settles to a creamy white head with tight and sticky lacing. Clear body with active upward carbonation. Bronze in color.
S) Cinnamon. Nutmeg. Pumpkin. Smells similar to a pumpkin roll packed with cream cheese. A pleasant smell but might indicate a overly sweet brew...
T) Fall spices and pumpkin up front and through to the finish. Flavors thin a bit toward the end. Subtle nuttiness mixed in.
M) Light bodied. Fizzy, yet fairly smooth.
D) A pleasant drink. Almost a session brew. I'd have another.

A- Clear yellow/orange in color with a bright white head.
S- Sweet pumpkin spice, not much else
T- Much like the smell but more complex. Sweet malts, perhaps caramel which gives way into pumpkin spice with a mild bitterness at the end
M- Mostly light in body with some mild carbonation
O- I think its a good pumpkin ale. Perhaps kinda simple, but certainly enjoyable.

A nice golden hue at first pour, with good foam, this seasonal smells of pumpkin and light spiciness initially, with maybe some nutmeg, cinnamon, and clove. Taste is a balanced mix of Fall flavors -- not overpowering or artificial at all, as some pumpkin ales tend to be. Actually, this one's among my favorites of the pumpkin beers -- mild, easygoing, and quite drinkable.

This beer pours a pale, straw yellow color, with a thick, white head. The head fades quickly, leaving no lacing.
This beer has a slightly spicy aroma. I smell some pumpkin, and some nutmeg. It has a slightly grainy aroma as well. I also smell a little cinnimon. All aromas are very subtle.
This beer tastes mostly of cinnimon. I taste some pumpkin spice, and a little nutmeg. That is pretty much it for flavor. As with the aroma, the flavor is very subtle.
This beer is a little over carbonated. It leaves a cinnimon like aftertaste.
I think this beer would make a decent session beer. I may get tired of the cinnimon flavor after a while though. Alcohol is low, so that wouldnt be a problem.
Overall: Although not my favorite beer from the style, I dont have a problem with this beer. I would buy it again.

A standard pour of Kennebunkport's Pumpkin Ale yields a light amber body and a fizzy head that falls quickly. Carbonation is minimal.
The nose comprises spices, mostly. All-spice, clove, a bit of ginger, and a dash of cinnamon. I don't pick up as much cinnamon as other reviewers.
I've tried a couple dozen or so Pumpkin Ales. Some pride themselves on not emulating that famous Thanksgiving dessert. Some attempt to recreate its appealing mix of aromatics, richness, and vegetal earthiness. This beer falls squarely into the latter category. This brew tastes exactly like pumpkin pie. Sweet malts; pumpkin pie spices.
Though balanced in terms of sweetness, this beer's mouthfeel could be improved by increasing the pumpkin and malts. This beer tastes like pumpkin pie. A denser, richer mouthfeel, and a creamier, more viscous foam, would make it feel like one too.
I can't recall the last time I drank one of these "re-create-the-pumpkin-pie-in-a-bottle" beers and thought, "Ah, yes! Pumpkin pie!" Usually, they just taste like amber ales with some cinnamon tossed in for kicks. This one wipes the floor with most "re-creators" pumpkin ales.
If you're looking to drink your Thanksgiving desert this season, pick up some KBC Pumpkin Ale. Thanks to this brew, I'll be able to have my pie and drink it too.

Appearance- pours a slightly watery, pale gold, almost straw color with a bubbly off-white head and little lace. Oddly light for a pumpkin ale.
Smell- Heavy on the spice- cinammon and nutmeg are almost powerful enough to hide the faint malt, and nearly undetectable hops.
Taste- Again, lots of pumpkin pie spices, but also some sweet honey and caramel malt to balance. Decent crispness and a little dryness on the finish. Actually leaves me wanting more. 4
Mouthfeel- As expected, a little on the light side, but not bad, given the crisp flavor.
Drinkability- When compared with some of the other, (usually overspiced) pumpkin ales, this one turns out to be a pretty refreshing drinker. I'd like to get my hands on a six pack if i could.

Pours a medium yellow gold with a quickly dissipating head. Smell is mainly spices with a vague malt note. Taste likewise is mainly spice with a slightly redeeming light creamy malt undertone. Mouthfeel is creamy yet with a slightly tart pleasant finish. Because of the above qualities the drinkability is good.

What a different beer. I've had Pumpkin ales before, but this one's a little different. It pours a very yellow/straw color. It reminded me of a pop at first the way the head appears not to leave a lace and quickly dissapears. The smell really turned me off right off the bat, just smelled wrong. BUt then I took a taste and Oh my, it was pretty good! The spices really come through, way more than the smell would indicate. Mouthfeel and drinkability are so,so. I like the taste, but with every taste you do have to bring it past your nose. It has a very similar smell to New Glarus' Belgian Red.

Nutmeg, pumpkin in the nose.

Drinkability is fairly decent for this style.

A: I was able to get a little over a finger of cream-colored head with an aggressive pour, and it had decent retention. The color was between amber and straw, with just a hint of haze.
S: Very subtle, not strong pumpkin or spice. If the label didn't say otherwise, I'd swear I was smelling a wheat beer rather than an ale.
T: OK, now I sense the pumpkin (1st) and spice (2nd), with a bready malt and hops making an appearance as it finishes going down. It's not at all bad, but it isn't very intense. It actually gets better with subsequent swigs, as the pumpkin and spice flavors work their way deeper into the taste-buds.
M: Not much carbonation, and just enough dryness to make you want to keep drinking.
O: Not a very intense pumpkin ale, but a pleasant, lighter, fruity ale for a mid-afternoon quaff to quench your thirst.

12 oz. bottle,
A: Pours gold with a fizzy white head, fair retention no lace.
S: Dominated by fall spices, a lot of cinnamon.
T: Lightly sweet pumpkin taste, but really a spice oriented brew. Allspice and cinnamon, pumpkin soda like in a way, but nowhere near as sweet.
M: Extremely light-bodied, fizzy, feels like a light lager, soda like carbonation.
O: Aside from the mouthfeel, this isn't bad. I tend to like my pumpkin beers a little more substantial, but this is a nice little beer. At $5.99/6er, how can you complain.

12 oz bottle from TJs.
A: pours a yellow-golden-amber color with a light haze and a fragile off-white head. Medium size carbonation bubbles rise continually.
S: A nice malty, pumpkin pie aroma with plenty of actual pumpkin squash aroma.
T: The flavor doesn't follow through as well as one might hope. There are notes of pumpkin squash along with some appropriate spices, but the illusion of a malty pumpkin pie is not present. Good mix and quantity of spicing; this is not one of the all-too-common over-spiced pumpkin ales. A little on the sweet side, but at a good level for the flavor profile. Relatively good finish and aftertaste.
M- Crisp; medium-high carbonation. Medium body.
O: an above average pumpkin at a below average price.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into my Dogfish Head shaped pint glass.
Clear, metallic gold body with a light snow white smattering of foam up top. Decent retention and pasty delicate lacing.
Gentle citrus and pie spice in the nose - delicate and inviting.
Cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg converge on the palate supported by a soft, clean maltiness. Some tartness and a low vegetal note emerge, blooming into the crisp biting finish. Low but present bitterness and a faint sweetness throughout. Well balanced.
Zesty, lively, light bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel.
Not a bad pumpkin ale - a touch over-filtered for me, so you end up with more spice than pumpkin, but this is one of the better seasonals really. An easy drinking leaf-raking (as oppossed to lawn-mowing) beer I suppose...

I'll always want to maximize the effect of the boosts I use, and so I will unfailingly pick 3 really effective — and thus really expensive — ones, and play as focused as I can for the 3 rounds they last, to really make them count. This of course then has the flip-side effect of demanding lots of additional pedestrian "pick-up" play, simply to re-accrue the coins spent. Which, in turn, means that you start to consciously plan when to spend your coins — at which point during the day am I most likely to be focused and sharp? And perhaps, more worryingly, when will I be tired and just going through the motions? I think this may end up hurting the game, as those less-important games become tedious "work" to be undertaken merely so that you can have fun "later". It promotes a cynical mindset that I think is fundamentally out of tune with the intuitive, adaptive strategies that drive Blitz. It also kind of reeks of monetization — 100 bucks says PopCap will introduce micro transactions one of these days, so players can skip the "boring games" and plunk down, say $1 for 50,000 Blitz coins. This might actually be timed to coincide with Facebook's introduction of its Credits currency. (It was, during this discussion — in spring 2010).posted by Miko at 7:57 PM on July 3, 2013 [1 favorite]
I have always found the idea of introducing paid power-ups to be a somewhat problematic monetization strategy. The notion that you can pay to get ahead of your friends is a tricky one, and in the case of Blitz is only tempered by the fact that you will still have to be sharp as hell, and lucky to boot — there is no guarantee that the boosts you buy will get you a record score. Still, I think it might fundamentally undermine the sportsmanship that characterizes friendly competition. What will you think about someone at the top of your scoreboard who bought his or her way past 1 million points?
Jesper: That they have too much money on their hands? To me, microtransactions and virtual item trades say something fundamental about users that we tend to forget: people's lives change over time. Blitz may be successful due to both its short game sessions and due to the predictability of the length of a game session. In "serious" console games, it is often unclear how long a game session you are committing yourself to. Blitz is more like Guitar Hero in that you know the time commitment ahead of time, which makes it much easier put in some game playing in a crowded schedule. You could generalize that young people tend to have little money but lots of time, while older people with jobs and kids have more money but less time. Thus, microtransactions may be a way for the older generation to achieve parity?
"the game difficulty ramps up massively, shifting the game from a skill game to a money game as progression becomes more dependent on the use of premium boosts than on player skills."since I stopped paying for anything pretty early on, and I've made it to a pretty embarassingly high level.
Note that as a rule I do not publish my F2P monetization models. In this case, I am publishing the methods used by others to make money games, and since I only make skill games, I'm not creating any competition for myself.posted by RobotHero at 2:57 PM on July 4, 2013
"Video games have evolved tremendously over the past few decades; they're much more entertaining than they used to be. That is not by accident; we, the community of game designers, have been continuously refining our techniques. The most common way we do this is by testing out our games on you, the players, and optimizing for the "best" result (where "best" is defined by us). As this process is ongoing, what kind of relationship exists between the designer and the player? Is it artist/audience, experimenter/subject, entrepreneur/customer, or tycoon/resource? Invariably it's some admixture of these things, the particular ratios for a given game being chosen by its designers (usually without awareness that a decision is being made). Today, due to the way the Internet is widely used, and because game designers are becoming more serious about certain aspects of their craft, the iteration time of this game design optimization process is shorter than ever before: designers can observe their players much more thoroughly, and more quickly, than they ever have in the past. At some point a quantitative change becomes a qualitative one: the result of all this competency may be heavily destructive. Some aspects of the current notion of "good game design" may in fact be very bad, or at least indefensible, from an ethical standpoint. Today's "better" video games spend a great deal of effort to undermine defenses that took you tens of millennia to evolve. They tend to be successful at this. As designers keep evolving their craft and gain greater analytical power, what will happen?"posted by empath at 2:16 AM on July 19, 2013

Even the most disappointing of starts leads to a good future. This was the case of Marala Scott. Her story didn't have the best of beginnings, but now she uses that painful start to help others learn how to forgive, accept challenges, and adapt to changes in life.
Before becoming a multi award-winning author, Marala had a childhood filled with abuse. Her memories of abuse began as early as five years old. She and her family were living in a tenement apartment in upstate New York at that time. Marala vividly remembers her father coming home from work then have heated arguments with her mother that included pushing and shoving.
Marala said that her dad "had a special combination of hatred and abuse" for her. Throughout her childhood, her father ingrained in her mind that she was not good for anything but making babies because she was a woman. The verbal – and physical abuse – that received from her father lasted for 17 years which led her to hate herself more and more.

Stop looking directly into his genitals!
Though I know it's hard, since you are eye to eye with most normal sized men's junk.
All is not lost. As long as there wasn't a guy following you out of the bedroom, he's interested.
Since when does that matter to another guy? LOL...derp.
Well I couldn't make eye contact! My eyes weren't even really open, it's bright and shit outside my room
You seem to be under the mistaken belief that this would ever slow a guy down...ever
Not to worry, give that guy half a nod and the deal is done I'm sure
I have sex dreams and black sheets, okay?
That doesn't explain why you haven't been able to look him in the eye all the OTHER times! junk peeker!
Very okay with me!
I agree with carl. It's not like you walked out and had shit yourself in the hallway. he saw you in your undies. He probably had a boner on sight. Men seeing women right when they wake is raw. They kind of like that if you havent learned that by now. If a woman can be semi attractive then, then you have seen her at her purist. You were in a tank top and undies. Oh no! The shame!
Just stumble up to him and say, "I'm Laura."
Then he'll say, "Hi, I'm Jim".
Then you say, "Oh, Hi. You're a carpenter, ey?"
Then he'll say, "Yeah, what do you do".
Then you say, "I'm a nude model".
Then he'll say, "Oh, want to go out tonight?"
I really don't see him that often. Most of the work he's done on the house I haven't even been home for, I know he exists because I hear him but I don't leave my room till 3pm, he's usually on his way out the door.
Supposedly he was at the wedding, but I don't remember that. Nobody introduced me to him.
I might've been looking at other parts...they just happened to be in the vicinity of the paint-stained jeans and big rough hands...and the junk
I have no idea what that means!
black bed and vivid dream
do you want a drawing ?
cuz I do
I'm pretty good at drawing... I mean, if she was looking for someone...
Perhaps I should clarify.
Naked w/underwear =/= naked
Naked w/underwear === sleep in just underwear
I gots no problem with trying to minimize the need to do laundry.
No, but a photo would be sufficient. (haha)
3 to 1 he's already seen nude photos of you on the internet. Undies and a tank top probably looked modest. As for the dreams... How can you be sure he hasn't had a few dreams about you himself?
It doesn't take much to start the launch sequence on a guy.
I hear that for some guy around here, it only takes a balloon to set him off!
While yes I'm naked on the Internet and yes he's family-ish, he has no idea what I do, how would he have ever found my photos? I'm not exactly in the first bazillion results that pop up when searching porn. There are a LOT of much more popular naked women on the Internet
That's sorta like not naked, bro-dawg…
She's a staunch conservative. Take it easy on her.
I can't take credit for that one; I heard it first from Laura herself.
I haven't used that in a long time.
Do I look like the kind of person who rapes people in their sleep?
You, of all people, should know what the word "naked" means!
Your dreams are going to get even more complicated…
And ?
Well, you cannot be so sure about that... remember how the Black Book of Photography came right up for me searching, and you had hundreds of other results about black and white photography.
I don't know if that's actually possible.
I'll be so excited the day they figure out how to record dreams....I can't explain 90% of what goes on I my head when I'm asleep

The awards program recognizes students enrolled in the state's public schools who display extraordinary artistic skills that reflect the vision of Maryland's future, according to a statement from the comptroller's office.

C. Milton Wright High School, drew an expressive self-portrait in white charcoal.

Prostate Cancer Health Center
Low Vitamin D Might Be Linked to Prostate Cancer
Among men who tested positive for cancer after their biopsies, those who also had very low levels of vitamin D -- under 12 ng/ml -- had greater odds of more advanced and aggressive cancers than those with normal levels.
The connection between vitamin D and cancer seemed to be even stronger in black men.
Black men with vitamin D levels under 12 ng/ml were far more likely than those with normal levels to test positive for prostate cancer in the first place.
In general, black men are also more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. On average, men have about a one-in-seven lifetime risk of getting prostate cancer. That risk rises to one in five for black men, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Researchers aren't sure whether lower vitamin D levels may help to explain why black men are at higher risk for prostate cancer.
They say longer and larger studies are needed to sort out the connection.

El border crossing supremo in record time… done and dusted in 45 minutes with a friendly joke or two about our Classico Kombi and the Classico Esposo (hubbie). We swear by: 'A little Spanish takes you a long way!!' And our Spanish capabilities return quickly in time of need, we thought we were starting over but it floods back when you need it.
Then up to speed rapido on the Mexican driving standards or lack thereof! Yikes.. no such thing as "lane" or lane change for that matter! Indicating? What's that!!! So Steve had no sooner congratulated me on expert driving through the big city of Monterrey than… CRASH / BANG / WOLLOP!! Day 1 .. Yep, poor old Pumper picks up her first road scar!
Bugger… Steve telling me not to stop while he and a taxi driver yell their version of things while hangin' out of their windows… when you can have an argument in another language you know there is more than a rudimentary understanding. Not great on a Major Carratera! So, as one would, the taxi driver cuts across and pulls up leaving us stranded in the middle of the road… dare not even glance in the rear view mirror to see what is hurtling towards us!!
Craziness: doors are locked and Steve with strict instructions that under no circumstances is he getting out of Pumper… preparing for this to get mucho ugly! But of course before you know it, Esposo (that would be Steve!!) is out on the bloody road. No longer am I worried about Pumpers war wound…. will Steve's body parts be strewn across the highway? Will I be scraping him up off the asphalt?
After much debate the taxi driver is convinced… or worn down… that we both were to blame and messed up, and we should be responsible for our own damage. We offer our sincere apologies and depart with trepidation… half expecting Policia or amigos to appear somewhere down the highway… What a way to start!
Great, a 'cuota' (toll highway)… We bee-line for it paying the toll thinking it is sure to buy us a hasty escape with nobody on our tail!!!
Wild, fun, crazy, or what? It turns out we were clipped on the back end where someone (esposo!) had put a scar a couple of years ago that we were planning to get repaired this winter, so it could have been waaay worse.
Iimmersed in the ways and customs of life south of the border, a caravan (convoy) of 'Quebecois' R.V's drive by… the super plush variety… big and expensive! So do they take time to wave and acknowledge a fellow Canadian??? Some do… mostly NOT!!! Wazzup people? Hellooooo! We are all Canadian last time we checked.
Cruising through the barren high deserts of central Mexico we are captivated by the mountains that appear from nowhere and rise dramatically before us… striking! Just wish it wasn't so wet and grey. Thankfully, we were not caught out taking an exit ramp too fast, unlike the 'doble semi remolque' (tandem trailer) hanging precariously over sure death below and the driver looking down crossing himself with a prayer or 2 of thanks! In the next 6 months how many accidents will we see? Plenty for sure!
And yes the fun begins and to quote Oprah Winfrey: "Lessons often come dressed up as detours and road blocks". We embrace life's little detours and road blocks as we find often at those times real jewels in life are discovered! The anticipation of all things new, the cultural exchange, and wonderful adventures in store. Meeting many new people and just being open to share the groovy hippy love that Pumper oozes! Problem is, in Mexico driving a VW bus is like driving a Chrysler minivan in Canada or the US… nobody cares! The whole hippie persona and history doesn't hit the radar.
Federalies (National Police ) and the military are high profile and possibly a tad intimidating as they brandish high power weapons and don black face masks as if prepared for war. We flip them all the peace sign, after all they are all sons and daughters of some proud Mexican Ma and Pa, just trying to survive, and in these parts, eat and create a happy life for one and all!!
Close of the day: as dusk closes in we find a one stop mechanico shack on the roadside just about as rough as it gets where Victor and his wife with their 6 young kids eke out an existence helping motorists in need. Good for an $8 oil change and lubrication of the front end, aaahhh Pumper is going to be feeling the love!! A few pesos for the two young sons who were right in there helping Papa bringing big grins to their faces, and we call it a day at the next Pemex gas station… one of the more luxurious, beggars can't be choosers. We camp down for the night all cosy and full of anticipation at the thrill of getting to the artist community of San Miguel Del Allende in the morning: a quaint cobblestone historical town in the mountains. Now we're talking! With the next few day's visits planned to some of the oldest and most beautiful towns and villages in Mexico high in the Sierras'.
Butane stove is on for egg and coffee as Steve gives Pumper her much needed tune up after slogging it up and over 3000 metre mountains. Not much we can do for the scars but move on knowing how much worse it could have been in 'many' respects!! I am relieved not to be sitting in a jail in Monterrey pleading innocence!!!
Reflecting as we venture into the depths of Mexico where US and Canadian governments warn us not to go, like sanctioned terrorism committed by our elected for less than honourable motives. Don't they stop to think how these messages play back to the vast majority of Mexicans that are trustworthy, loving and family oriented, struggling to survive on an economy that depends heavily on tourism? In contrast to the high profile destinations of coastal Mexico where the locals have grown to accept and attract our presence with exuberance and warm greetings, in the remote towns we are struck by the suspicion toward the few outsiders in their presence, "… who are these gringo's and what do they want with us?" We just hope and trust that our greetings, well wishes, and interest in their history and customs improves their view of strangers from the North. Judging by the beautiful rose positioned carefully on the bus as we slept one night, we think they approve. Don't believe all the propaganda folks you may miss precious life experiences. This rant could go on but we'll save some for later.
We are connected to everything and everyone in the universe…
"I am because we are."
– Tenet of the South African philosophy, Ubuntu.
Peace and love… from not so scary Mexico.

I seem to always forget the anniversary of the site. I guess that's good because that means I am busy and have a lot going on. But this year is a milestone - 5 YEARS! and I didn't want to let another day go by without acknowledging it and thanking everyone who reads the site.
Five years ago the site began on blogger then moved to word press, and now, early next year we will celebrate our second anniversary on Indiewire.
As you can probably tell, I love doing this work. There have been so many great things that have come out of the work of the site that sometimes I have to pinch myself because I hardly can believe it.
What I realized is that while we are a blog and our job is to bring you news about women and hollywood, this site has become more than a blog. It is a movement. And we embrace that. It is our job to help push issues that others can't or won't because of who they are and where they work. We'll be doing petitions, calling people on the carpet when they need it and pushing the envelope on the need for more women's voices. As I said at a recent panel in LA, I am a flame thrower.
I hope you have noticed that there are more posts on the blog. The site has morphed into not only reporting news but also curateing many different voices and opinions. We know we can't cover and see everything and we are so excited and appreciative of the guest posts and cross posts that have been on the site. (And yes, we are happy to include male writers as long as they write about our topic.)
The reason why we can get more content up is because there is another person working with me. You've seen her byline. Kerensa Cadenas has been working as a writer on the site since this summer. She and I figure out the stories we want to focus on and while writing I an editing and looking for more posts to include. I would be nowhere without her.
As we move into 2013 I am heavily focused on the 3rd annual Athena Film Festival --a celebration of women and leadership -- which will take place from Febraury 7-10 at Barnard College. All access passes will go on sale at the end of this month and single tickets in early January. The festival is an important outgrowth of the work of Women and Hollywood and this year will be even better than thre previous two (which were pretty damn good.)
Some more news is that FINALLY my e-book In Her Voice: Women Directors Talk Directing is in the final production phase. People who read this site and those that are on my weekly email list (you can sign up on the right hand side of the blog under email updates) will find out first about the book and will also get discounts.
I am grateful to all your support for the past five years. I do this each and every day because I believe with all my heart that we are better people if all different types of voices and stories are included in our cultural conversations.
Here's to women's voices and visions. I can't wait to see where this work takes us next.
Kathy | November 11, 2012 12:06 AM
Congratulations on your five-year anniversary. I enjoy reading your blog and it feels so good to find that I'm not the only person who wants to end The Celluloid Ceiling. Long Live Women and Hollywood!
cy | November 10, 2012 6:42 PM
Hurray for you and "Women and Hollywood" on your 5-year anniversary!
I check it all the time to see what you have to say about new films and women. This is a great blog and getting better all the time. Congratulations!

If confidence counts, the Saints are in trouble
NEW ORLEANS -- It's become an old refrain for New Orleans Saints coach Jim Haslett: One win, just one win.
After losing three straight, the Saints (1-4) are desperate for a victory, hoping it can build confidence for the rest of the season. They play the Chicago Bears (1-3) on Sunday, a team that just got its first win of the year.
"The morale, the confidence, the air, the energy and the atmosphere is always good after getting a win when you haven't won in so long," Bears quarterback Kordell Stewart said.
Stewart said when teams try so hard to win, they press and that leads to mistakes. That's what happened to the Bears before Paul Edinger's 48-yard field goal as time ran out gave them a 24-21 victory over Oakland last week.
"Once you get that one win, you have a sense of confidence and a little aura about yourself," Stewart said.
As losses mount, so does the pressure. Stewart never tuned his radio to an AM station, hoping smooth FM jazz would help him stay loose.
How players deal with the types of starts the Saints and Bears have had is always a worry, Bears coach Dick Jauron said.
"You're worried about the players all the time, their outlook on the game, their preparation, everything about it, because they play it on Sunday," Jauron said. "It's difficult to figure out what comes first, the attitude or the winning. People always talk about how winning teams have good attitudes, but you wonder if that attitude preceded the winning or if winning preceded the attitude."
Either way, the Bears should have a bit of a swagger facing a fellow cellar dweller.
"I'm sure if we were coming off a win, we'd have a certain amount of confidence, especially getting it against a team the caliber they beat," Saints center Jerry Fontenot said. "So mentally, I'm sure they are riding high and they feel like this would be a good week for them to get another win."
The Saints hope the home field will be an advantage. Normally, they could count on it. New Orleans has had 24 straight sellouts and is expecting a good crowd Sunday. But like the Bears, the Saints have been booed as much at home as on the road this season.
New Orleans has won at home only once since Dec. 1 of last season, including two preseason losses. At the last home game, fans brought paper bag masks, which they wore in the second half.
"We have good fans, but they get discouraged, too," Saints receiver Joe Horn said. "What we have to try to do is get things going early in the game so they'll stay behind us."
This is their worst start since Haslett became coach in 2000. The last time the Saints started so poorly was 1999, when they finished 3-13 in the final year of the Mike Ditka regime.
"A win in this league jump starts things," Haslett said. "We have to get something going."

MediaBiz with Jessica Heslam
WRKO's Manning loses hour to new biz show
WRKO is lopping off an hour of Charley Manning's midday show to make room for a new weekday program, "Lunch Money" with Barry Armstrong, the station announced today.
Armstrong's new financial and business show - which debuts Sept. 9 - will air from noon to 1 p.m. weekdays. The money whiz recently left his nationally syndicated "Money Matters" radio show for the new gig on WRKO-AM (680). (Money Matters used to air on WRKO on weekends).
Armstrong plans to have CNBC's Larry Kudlow on his show for a segment every Friday as well as experts from Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal.
Manning, a Republican consultant, replaced Rush Limbaugh on WRKO in March. Manning's show will now run from 1 to 3 p.m.
"The business and financial arena is one that is still very top of mind given the current state of the economy, and Barry's knowledge and expertise will provide a terrific forum for the WRKO audience," said WRKO program director Jason Wolfe.

Nikkei Leads Fall in Mostly Weak Asian Markets
By Youkyung Lee | AP - SEOUL
Published: 13th February 2014 12:01 PM
Last Updated: 13th February 2014 12:01 PM
Asian stocks were mostly lower Thursday, led by a fall in Tokyo after Wall Street ended lower for the first time this week.
The region's performance showed that investors are taking a break after days of plowing back into riskier assets. Earlier this week, markets were buoyed by improved trade figures from China and the new head of the U.S. Federal Reserve's pledge to continue low interest rates.
Japan's Nikkei 225, the region's main index, dropped 1.4 percent to 14,598.25. Hong Kong's Hang Seng lost 0.3 percent to 22,228.44 and South Korea's Kospi edged down 0.1 percent to 1,934.46. Markets in the Philippines and Taiwan traded lower.
China's Shanghai Composite Index was marginally higher at 2,111.59. On Wednesday, Beijing reported faster growth in imports and exports for January, easing worries about slowing growth in the world's No. 2 economy.
The Australian stock market was almost flat even after a poor January employment report.
Earlier in the U.S., stocks fell for the first time in five days after weak earnings reports. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 0.2 percent at 15,963.94 while the broader S&P 500 inched down 0.03 percent to 1,819.26.
In currency trading, the euro was up 0.2 percent at $1.3615 while the dollar fell 0.3 percent to 102.18 yen.
Benchmark U.S. crude for March delivery was down 53 cents at $99.84 in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose 43 cents to close at $100.37.

We all want to keep the environment clean and green. However, I would like to remind village residents that although we want to have beautiful lawns and flowers, we must keep in mind the village's law with regard to water conservation (Local Law 3-1987) is now in effect.
The Restrictions Are: Lawn sprinkling and garden irrigation only from April 16 to Nov. 30 of each year and only during the hours of 5 to 10 a.m. and 6 to 10 p.m.
The Days A Person May Water Are: Odd numbered properties on odd numbered days; even numbered properties on even numbered days. Properties with no numbers on even numbered days.
Automatic Sprinkler Systems: All newly installed systems must have moisture sensors approved by the department of public works. For more information please call 516-465-4020 regarding sprinkler systems.
Miscellaneous: All home car washing must be done with hoses fitted with spray nozzles with automatic shut-off.
Use of water for washing down driveways or walkways is prohibited.
Please cooperate by observing these restrictions. The police department has been requested to issue appearance tickets to those persons found to be in violation of this law.
I would like to ask you to do your part to support all businesses within Garden City. I would also like to encourage all residents and professionals within Garden City to shop locally. Your patronage will be appreciated and is needed.
Many residents consider shopping and dining in our business districts as experience shopping because they meet friends and neighbors along the way and have an opportunity to interact with them. This is in stark contrast to frantically dashing through the crowds in the mall or the big box retailers.
I encourage residents to make a conscious effort to choose Garden City as the place to shop and dine. Customer service, selection and quality are outstanding. While shopping or dining let the merchant know that you appreciate them and all that they offer.
Keep in mind but for these merchants and businesses within our borders on Seventh Street, New Hyde Park Road and Franklin Avenue you would have to leave the comfort of your village to dine, shop or even to buy a newspaper.
Please continue to support the local merchants and I look forward to seeing everyone in town.
The next meetings of the board of trustees will be on Thursday, May 16 at 8 p.m. I encourage all residents to attend board of trustees meetings so as to be thoroughly informed of village issues from a first-hand perspective.

Although a bit unsure at first, all Foofa needs is a little bit of love and patience to bring out his true affectionate self. A favorite with the handlers, Foofa is proving an excellent student with his training, loves long walks on the trail, and enjoys his "pampering" sessions with petting and brushing.
Just like the Mario character, this little guy will keep you smiling all day long. Yoshi happily greets all people he meets, gets along well with his fellow canines, and loves long walks and petting sessions. Yoshi would make a wonderful addition in just about any home.

The FLG 2018 girls have established themselves as one of FLG's premier teams of the summer. Garden City's Julia Kavan and Anna Mandaro at the midfield and Megan Sprotte and Ann Sullivan defensively led their team to three championships this summer. The girls "really started to gel and play as a unit," said Coach McGinty, successfully executing new plays, transitioning well and crashing on defense. With the improvements across the board, the team hasn't lost a game since the first tournament of the summer. These girls were leaders on and off the field and are taking FLG Girls Lacrosse to the next level.
