The Art of Manliness Podcast Episode #1: We Who Are Alive and Remain
Well, I finally decided to start an Art of Manliness podcast. Many of you have requested that we crank something out so you can get your daily dose of manliness during your commute or while you're exercising. Now please keep in mind that I have zero experience with podcasting. So this first go of it is a little rough. Please bear with me these first few episodes as I get my podcasting legs under me. Here's what I have planned for the AoM podcasts:
The podcasts are going to be pretty short; no longer than 30 minutes.
I'm going to shoot for once a week on Tuesday.
It's not going to be just me blabbering for 15 minutes about manly stuff. Instead I'm going to be interviewing authors, experts, and personalities that AoM readers would be interested in hearing from.We'll discuss issues and topics of interest to men.
I also plan on doing a bi-weekly series called "Man Stories."Â I'll bring on a regular AoM reader and simply ask him what manliness means to him, which men have influenced his perception of manliness, and when he felt like he became a man. Think NPR's "
This I Believe
," except for manliness. Should be interesting.
So that's the general plan, and I'll just play it by ear and see how it goes and what kind of response I get. Now let's get this thing started. For the inaugural episode of the podcast, we talked with Marcus Brotherton, author of
We Who Are Alive and Remain: Untold Stories From the Band of Brothers
For his book, Marcus interviewed surviving members of the 101st Airborne Division's Easy Company who fought in WWII. The men of Easy Company were the subject of
HBO's mini-series
Band of Brothers
In our interview, Marcus shares his insights about the men who fought in WWII and what lessons men today can take from the Band of Brothers. Make sure to check out Marcus' book,
We Who Are Alive and Remain
. It's filled with great stories from a great group of men.

Brett McKay here, and welcome to the inaugural episode of The Art of Manliness podcast. I've got to say I am really excited about this. I have been wanting to do a podcast for quite some time. We've been getting emails from you all requesting that we start a podcast for The Art of Manliness. So, here we are. We're doing it. To give you an idea of what we have in mind with the podcast, we're going to do an episode once a week. They're going to be between 20 and 30 minutes long. It's not going to be me just pontificating and blabbering on about what I think is manly or whatever. I wouldn't do that to you all. What we plan on doing is bringing in experts, authors, personalities, and Art of Manliness readers, you all, who read the blog, and talk to them. Discuss with them issues and topics of interest to men. Ask them what manliness means to them. Hopefully, get some advice and some tips on how to be better husbands, better fathers, and all around better men. So that's the goal of the show. I am looking forward to it. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the first episode of The Art of Manliness podcast. [theme music]
During World War II, the United States Army developed an experimental fighting force that parachuted soldiers from C-47 transport planes behind enemy lines. The 101st Airborne Division or Screaming Eagles is one of America's most well-known military divisions. Within that division, a company of soldiers called Easy Company took part in some of the most famous events of the Allied campaign in Europe, including but not limited to the D-Day invasion, the Battle of the Bulge, concentration camp liberations, and taking over Hitler's mountaintop fortress, the Eagle's Nest. The men of Easy Company have been the subject of numerous books and also the HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers." Our guest today has recently published a book about Easy Company. His name is Marcus Brotherton and his book is called "We Who Are Alive and Remain: Untold Stories from The Band of Brothers." Marcus is a journalist and has written or co-written over 17 books, including a memoir of Easy Company's Lieutenant Buck Compton. Marcus lives in the beautiful state of Washington with his family. Marcus, welcome to the show.
Thanks, Brett.
So, Marcus, a lot has been written about Easy Company, the 101st Division. You'd think there wouldn't be anything else to say about them. So what inspired you to take on this project and write the book?
That's a great question, Brett. At the start of Dick Winters' memoirs, he says that he often receives letters from people and they say things like, "Tell us more." People are searching for as complete a story as possible about this company. For me, personally, it was just a chance to work with great people. These guys are living history and legends. I knew I had much to learn from these men.
I remember you mentioned in your book, and I think in the epilogue, that you were living in an apartment with this World War II veteran. I think Nate Miller was his name?
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, tell us about Nate. It sounds like he kind of inspired you or connected you with these men.
Yeah. It was back in graduate school. I moved down to L.A. and I didn't know anybody. He was my advisor's father. He had just lost his wife, and his son thought that it might be good for him to have some company in the house. So, I rented a room from this guy. He was really my first introduction to anybody from World War II sort of in living color, so to speak. Nate was an amazing man. He was very ornery and slept with a loaded gun under his pillow.
He just had these amazing stories about things he had done in the war. It had really colored his world view in so many ways. He saw much of his life through the grid of what he had experienced.
Wow. So from there, I guess he planted the seed for you to do these projects. I mean, you've written a book with Lieutenant Buck Compton, his memoirs, and now you've written this book. So, I guess he kind of planted the seed for you to do this project.
Yeah, it's been really cool. I never thought I would write military nonfiction. I didn't major in history. I've been a journalist and collaborative writer. Buck Compton is just great. He lives just about 40 minutes from my house. We connected a couple of years ago to write his memoir. One thing leads to another. So Buck's book got me connected with this one.
Wow. That's great. How many men of Easy Company are still alive?
Yeah. It's a good question, Brett. There's probably about 30. Although there is really no way to know for sure. You know, after the war, some of the men just sort of disappeared. So they didn't keep in contact with any of the associations or their friends. In fact, just this past week I was sent a newspaper article about a guy named Ed Mauser. He's an Easy Company veteran. He is still alive and living in Omaha. He is 92 years old, going strong. He had never connected with any of his buddies from after the war. He is planning on coming to this year's Easy Company reunion. For the first time in 60 plus years, he is going to connect with his buddies.
Wow. That's great.
It will be cool to meet him. Yeah.
That's something else I thought was interesting in the book that a lot of these men didn't start going to the reunions until the "Band of Brothers" book was written or the series was put on HBO. A lot of them didn't have much to do with it, but somehow, this brought them back together.
Yeah, you know, some of it was a coping mechanism. Dewitt Lowery, his method of coping was really to forget. He really chose to purposely not think about the war at all. I don't think he's ever been to a reunion, although he has connected with Dick Winters and some of the other men. Some of it was just a family thing where they came home, started working, raising families, and whatnot. Life gets busy.
So, yeah. A variety of reasons for doing that.
Yeah. So, you know, Marcus, after talking to these men, did you notice any characteristics that they all had in common that made them such a successful military company?
They were an elite, highly trained fighting unit. Definitely the training. Definitely their drive. I would say the single shared characteristic was probably determination. Many of them said things like, you know, "We were just doing our jobs. We didn't quit. We didn't give up." I think that one of the men, Forrest Guth, he just passed away a couple weeks ago here, when Forrest was jumping into Holland for Operation Market Garden, his parachute malfunctioned. He's jumping out of the plane, and because the men had jumped so low on that jump, below 500 feet, there wasn't enough time to open his reserve chute. So he lands and he hits hard. He just lands with a thud, knocks him out, and when he comes to he can't move his back or his legs.
So, they ship him to a hospital in England, take x-rays and whatnot, and discover he's got a broken disc in his back. That was it. That was his golden ticket home if he wanted it. He could have been, you know, excused from the war. But anyway, he stays in the hospital for a while, regains some feeling in his legs and back. Although he is still under a great deal of pain, he makes the choice to go back to the front and continue the battle with his buddies. You know, he just didn't quit. That's determination.
Yeah. I actually noticed that there were several men that that happened to. They would get injured and it would be their golden ticket home. They could go home. But they would go AWOL from the hospital and find any way to get back to the front lines with their company.
Yeah. Ed Joint was another man who did that. Yeah. They would rather fight than not.
Wow. You know, Marcus, one of the things we actually wrote a post about World War II vets being the "Greatest Generation." I guess that is a title that Tom Brokaw came up with. A lot of people have criticized this moniker for these men who fought in World War II. Do you think the title "Greatest Generation" is appropriate for these men?
Yeah, that's a good question. I think the term greatest is sort of compared to something else and what it's compared to. I think that one of the book's contributors, a guy by the name of Clancy Lyall, he talks about how when he was engaged in combat any time he could shoot to wound an enemy as opposed to shoot to kill, that was always what he chose to do. One time he was fighting in Normandy in the town of Saint Margulies. A German popped out from behind a street. Clancy had a clean shot, he could take him out, and he chooses to shot him in the leg simply just to take him out of the battle. He says, "As far as it was up to me that was fine as long as he was not shooting back at me." A couple days later, Clancy is fighting in another town called Carentan. If you can picture it, it is close quarters, street to street fighting. Clancy is running around the corner of a building. Obviously, he can't see around the other side. As he runs around the corner of this building, he runs smack dab into an enemy soldier who has his rifle outstretched and his bayonet fixed on the end. You can picture it. The weapon just sticks fast in Clancy's gut. He runs straight in to it.
So, Clancy describes this scene how both he and the enemy are just absolutely frozen for a minute, staring at each other. Fortunately for Clancy's sake, he raises his rifle and gets off the first shot. As the enemy is falling over backwards, the enemy pulls the bayonet out of Clancy's stomach. Clancy, as he is telling me the story, he jokes. He says, "You know, I wasn't shooting to wound just then." That's the type of men these guys were, and that's the type of situations they encountered. They were placed in these extraordinary situations where they put their lives at risk. It wasn't for fame or for recognition but because they knew it was the right thing to do for the sake of future generations and our liberty.
So, certainly that is admirable.
Yeah, definitely. You know, one thing I liked about your book, as opposed to a lot of other nonfiction military history books, is it's not; it's different that you're basically just interviewing these veterans and you are letting them tell their stories. You are not really editing it. You're not trying to format it. You're just letting them speak, and it's basically just transcripts of them telling their stories. Why did you go with this approach as opposed to a typical Stephen Ambrose history book where you try to come up with a cohesive storyline?
Right. Right. Yeah, it's an oral history book for sure. It's funny. The book has received good reviews and really great acclaim across the board. I've received a couple of criticisms from guys who basically say, "Look, you're not an author. Basically all you did was just turn on a tape recorder and type in what you heard." Not to defend myself here, but I can assure you that the project took more editorial work than that . . .
Yeah, I'm sure.
. . . to achieve that oral history effect. Really, I wanted to take myself out of the way as an author. Stephen Ambrose says, "Always let the men speak for themselves." I wanted to connect readers directly with the men. It is kind of this feeling that they are sitting down in the living room together with you and just telling their stories and you are getting to know these guys, you know, watching a football game together.
Yeah. Yeah. So, Marcus, I can imagine, I mean, after talking to these men, you can't walk away from this unchanged, you know, listening to these stories. How did writing this book and taking part in this project change you as a man?
You know, thinking about the men of Easy Company training at Camp Toccoa in Georgia, they're running up Mount Currahee every morning, every evening sometimes. Three and a half miles up, three and a half miles down. You know, if they can do that, then I can certainly go for my morning jog without my usual amount of complaining. So, you know, it helps me be less of a whiner basically.
It helps me see my life's challenges and problems in perspective. I'm not sleeping outside in the snow. I'm not getting shot at.
It definitely helps me be more grateful. The fact that I can write books for a living today instead of working in some factory for one of Hitler's descendants, that's due in part to the veterans of World War II.
Wow. Marcus, after, you know, talking to these men, and I am sure you gleaned some characteristics that they had, what do you think are some lessons that men in today's generation can take from the men of Easy Company?
Stephen Ambrose said, "All men ultimately want to know two things." To whom do I owe thanks that I should live in such opportunity is the first thing. And the second is, will I have the courage when the time comes? Studying about the men at Easy Company helps us answer those questions. They have given much so that we can live for what matters. As men today, we're often told to seek lives of entertainment or leisure or misguided sensuality. The big lesson for us is to live courageously, to live selflessly, to think of our communities and families. The invitation is to man up and stop playing video games all day. Put our pants on and basically go do something amazing with our lives.
Well, our guest today was Marcus Brotherton. His book is called "We Who Are Alive and Remain: Untold Stories from the Band of Brothers." Marcus, thank you for talking with us. It's been a pleasure.
Thank you, Brett.

Staff was excellent, and the continental breakfast was right on the spot.
No air conditioning, and some maintenance should be done in the room we stayed in.
Easy walking distance to Chestnut St restaurant strip and Union Street shopping and eady bus access to downtown and Fishermans Wharf. Good value.
The location was great. Rooms are quite small but totally sufficient even for longer stays (~7 nights). Breakfast is okay. Rooms are clean.
Breakfast could be better. A little noisy due to Lombard St. right next to the hotel.
Excellent staff(Yolanda at the desk) Good continential breakfast Cleanilness was very good. Very good location to Fisherman's Wharf and transit.
Very noisy(next to a busy street) Poor showers. Cramped breakfast room.
Good location, close to bus routes, lovely walk to Fisherman's Wharf, plenty of places to eat in walking distance. Staff friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast provided. Room quite big, bed comfortable.
No tea or coffee making facilities in hotel.
Rooms ovrerpriced Smelling bad
breakfast was good, for drink we had coffee, tea, milk, orange juice. and for eating we had toast bread, butter, jam, banana, yogurt. really nice staff. everything was clean. good location. near to golden gate bridge, fisherman wharf...
it was a really weird smell in the building and room. keep your stuff in the baggage and close it. and in the last day I noticed a note on the entrance door that this place has some particles that may cause cancer! birth deficiency and...!!! so don't stay long. and a bit noisy at nights.
there is no much space in the breakfast room and many were eating standing. I would at least recommend buying a second toaster:)
Short walk to great restaurants, supermarket, Laundry,Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard st.
Bathroom could have been cleaner.
The location was excellent and the room very comfortable.
It lacked care. Dirty entrance, dust on walls and pictures. Needs a new paint and cleaning job. The breakfast room was too small for all the guests,only four tables and people had to eat standing
The location of the Marina Inn was absolutely perfect! Away from all the super touristy stuff in Fisherman's Wharf but still walking distance to go for dinner, pictures, bike rentals, and ferry rides. The neighborhood is super safe and close to multiple grocery stores, restaurants, bars and boutiques. :) The bus stop was around the corner and allowed us to save money taking that to different places around town! Loved the vintage, old school style of the hotel. Super cozy and just enough for a small getaway!
Some of the maids didn't speak English but they were still friendly. Also, the breakfast was very minimal, toast, yogurt, fruit, and coffee . But better than nothing though! :)
breakfast is good staff is helpful good location good price
room needs a fan to cool down. We opened the window to sleep but mosquitos came in. Understand we have no a/c, but a good fan will help a lot.
interior of the hotel
soundproofing is bad
The location
The towels had holes in them, bathtub was nasty and the carpet in the rooms felt gross.
- Complementary breakfast (exceptional for San Francisco); - Location; - Really helpful and nice staff;
- Noise (it was impossible to sleep with opened window); - No a/c
Room style Personnel kindness
Traffic noise Old windows that didn't filtrate street noise efficiently Small breakfast
The staff was very responsive and gave good advice, the breakfast was simple but adequate and HEALTHY (fruit, toast, eggs, yogurt), the room was very nice and homelike (windows opened, new shades). It is the closest reasonable hotel to fishermans wharf,I think. Definitely would stay again
No specific parking (but I managed to find a place for my car within 3 blocks every night, and there is a garage about 3 blocks away which is 1.25/hour if you need it)
Charm of old hotel, friendly staff.
Very old fan in room was not adequate. Difficult to sleep in warm room with lack of moving air.
I appreciated the generous size of the room, especially the bathroom. Was nice to have a fridge, microwave and safe. The area around the hotel is nice and quiet at night. The staff is really friendly and the reception area is neat. I had a pleasant view from room 302.
Great location a real locals area. Quiet. Ease of getting to the marina. Transport links. Lovely main street nearby with good choice of restaurants and shops
We loved the location, decor, cleanliness and the comfortable bed. Thankyou for the breakfast.
Being woken up, in a panic because of the fire alarm. It was a false alarm, set off by someone illegally smoking in bedroom.
Bed comfortable
Air conditioning should be an option if needed
Locatinon. Marinna inn is near a bus stop that goes to downtown and pass for many interesting places.
The area of breakfest is very small and there's no diferents kinds of foods.
Very good location. Relatively easy to find parking space. Shuttle service to the airport.
Very noisy room. When the window was open, could hear people from close-by flats. Extremely poor breakfast.
The floor was at a slant, drawers kept sliding open and bed was tilted. At 1am the fire alarm went off. We checked the hall,called the desk and were told that it was an accidental alarm. About 15 minutes later it happened again and we had just fallen asleep.By the 3rd alarm at 2 am we packed up and left.

Marvel's Phase One & Two Flashback Reveals Josh Brolin as Thanos
This weekend you should be checking out Guardians of the Galaxy, because it's just awesome (and let us know what you think afterwards too). It's the last film to hit before Phase Two's of Marvel's cinematic universe concludes with The Avengers: Age of Ultron, and it's been a long road to get here. At Marvel's Comic-Con panel last weekend, they wanted to remind everyone how they got here with a cool retrospective reel that starts with Iron Man back in 2007 and goes all the way through Guardians of the Galaxy today, finally revealing Josh Brolin as the villain Thanos, who is really going to shake things up. Watch below!

Colin Trevorrow Shares Timely Photo of Chris Pratt in 'Jurassic World'
There's no doubt that after this weekend, Chris Pratt is going to be a household name as he leads the ragtag team of space thugs in Guardians of the Galaxy. And Universal Pictures and director Colin Trevorrow know that since a new photo from Jurassic World featuring only the "Parks & Recreation" star has just arrived. Again, there's still no dinosaurs, but it shows Pratt looking like a handsome leading man, peering through the bars of what is likely the cage to an unseen dinosaur. He certainly has the hero look down, and in this photo, he seems like a viable Indiana Jones replacement if he got the chance. Look!

Watch: Three Shorts from Jameson First Shot Starring Uma Thurman
For the past few years we've been highlighting an annual filmmaking contest called Jameson First Shot, which has allowed budding filmmakers to get their chance to break into Hollywood working with the likes of actor Kevin Spacey and producer Dana Brunetti. The contest from late last year have completed production on their films and all three are now available for viewing. Each one stars Uma Thurman in a new role, and they're each quite fun. The Mundane Goddess follows the story of Hera, queen of the Greek Gods, who seeks answers from a therapist about her boring home life. The Gift follows the character Miss Anderson, who works at a city department store wrapping gifts. Jump! is set during 48 hours at a psychiatric facility, where Jack meets Wendy, a young woman with a unique obsession. If you're interested, watch them below.

First Look: Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine & More Head 'Into the Woods'
Very soon Disney will release the first trailer for their adaptation of fairytale mash-up stage musical Into the Woods, but in the meantime, we finally get some more first look photos to join the singular glimpse at the film that featured Meryl Streep as an ugly witch. This time there's photos of Anna Kendrick as Cinderella, Chris Pine as her prince, Johnny Depp as the the Wolf, James Corden as the baker, Emily Blunt as the baker's wife, and many more. Could this inspire the return of live-action musicals at The House of Mouse? It's about time they ad a bit of a revival since once being a big part of the studio's history.

Zooey Deschanel Tweets 'Rock the Kasbah' Set Photo with Bill Murray
Late last fall, we got word that Bill Murray would be teaming up with Rain Man and The Natural director Barry Levinson for a film called Rock the Kasbah. The film stars Murray as a burned out music manager who goes to Afghanistan on the USO tour with his last remaining client. But when he finds himself abandoned, broke and without a passport, he finds a young girl with a remarkable voice and stows her away back to Kabul for a chance to compete on "Afghan Star," which is the equivalent of "American Idol" in Afghanistan (there's actually a great feature documentary about the show you should watch). Now a first look photo from the end of production has emerged thanks to co-star Zooey Deschanel on Twitter. Look!

First Look: Ben Stiller in 'Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb'
In what will likely be the final adventure in this family friendly franchise, Ben Stiller is back in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, and the first photos from the film have arrived. We get to see Robin Williams back as Teddy Roosevelt, and also Dan Stevens joining the film as Lancelot (but no sign of Rebel Wilson yet). This time the action moves across the pond in London's British Museum. This time the Egyptian Golden Tablet of Pharaoh Ahkmenrah, which makes the museum exhibits come to life at night, is corroding, and something must be done to save it. This will probably be more of the same, but whatever.

First Look: Rupert Friend is Double Armed & Dangerous in 'Agent 47'
Later today we'll get to see some footage from 20th Century Fox's franchise sequel Hitman: Agent 47 during the studio's Comic-Con panel in Hall H. This time it's not Timothy Olyphant in the role, but rather Rupert Friend as the bald, genetically engineered assassin from the video game series of the same name. There are no story details just yet, but we do have some first look photos of Friend in action with co-star Hannah Ware as Katia van Dees. But as of now, no sign of Zachary Quinto in the film. We're not excited about the film yet, especially with a February 2015 release, but maybe some good footage can convince us.

First Look: 'SpongeBob' Becomes a Live-Action Superhero in Sequel
During the Paramount Pictures panel at Comic-Con, where Christopher Nolan made his Hall H debut with Interstellar, we were also given a first look at a film on the completely opposite end of the spectrum: SpongeBob SquarePants: Sponge Out of Water. While this isn't a film we're particularly excited about, the footage shown at Comic-Con was so weird, even by normal "SpongeBob SquarePants" standards. SpongeBob and his friends end up heading into the real world, but in the form of Avengers style superheroes. But they're in a very lifelike computer animated form, and it makes for a strange aesthetic.

More Images from 'Goosebumps' Starring Jack Black as R.L. Stine
Following the first two photos from the meta adaptation of R.L. Stine's young adult horror novel series Goosebumps, we have three more photos showing off Jack Black as the beloved author. But in this story, he's a bit of a weirdo, because we learn that Stine is actually a keeper of monsters and a prisoner of his own imagination. Stine keeps the monsters in his book so they don't get unleashed, but of course, that's exactly what happens when a new kid in town (Dylan Minnette) unintentionally lets them loose. There's some recognizable monsters from the books in these photos, but we're not sure how this is going to turn out, because it looks pretty goofy, almost like a horror version of Night at the Museum. But maybe it'll be good?

First Look: 'Insidious: Chapter 3' Which Predates the First Two Films
Focus Features just recently pushed back the release of Insidious: Chapter 3 to the summer of 2015, but we only knew one cast member and didn't have any story details. That changes with the beginning of production and a first look photo announcement revealing that Dermot Mulroney will also be joined by Stefanie Scott (of Blumhouse Productions' Jem and the Holograms) and returning cast members Lin Shaye, Angus Sampson and Leigh Wannell (who is also directing in place of James Wan). In addition, it turns out this story is a prequel taking place before the terrors in the Lambert house from the first films.

J.J. Abrams Shows Off an X-Wing in Latest 'Star Wars' UNICEF Video
Time to meet the new X-Wing! After the rumored plot leak yesterday, along with Kevin Smith's discussion of how real his set visit was, it's time to drop an actual reveal for Star Wars: Episode VII, being directed by J.J. Abrams as we speak. This time they've revealed the X-Wing from the new movies, along with a pilot in his typical orange regalia, in the background of another charity video with J.J. Abrams for UNICEF. This is kind of awesome, because it's one of those moments where everything is starting to feel like it' s coming into place. The ship looks great (old but not too old), plus it's real and actually exists and isn't just a CGI creation; I'm actually getting more and more excited the more we see. See the new video and X-Wing below.

First Look: Amy Schumer & Bill Hader in Judd Apatow's 'Trainwreck'
Not too long ago, we learned that Daniel Radcliffe and Marisa Tomei would pop up in Judd Apatow's new comedy Trainwreck. The film is slated to hit theaters next summer with Amy Schumer and Bill Hader in the lead roles, and a first look photo from the set in New York City has just popped up online. Schumer also wrote the script which is inspired from some of her real-life experiences as she plays "a commitment-averse woman trying to get past her self-sabotaging ways." Apatow also helped write the screenplay and really pushed Schumer to make it personal. We can't wait to see how Hader and Schumer work together.

First Look: Adam Sandler & Peter Dinklage's Mullet Arrive in 'Pixels'
Following the release of a comedy reunion between Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler earlier this summer in Blended, we're hoping the latter has something more enticing in store with his video game adventure Pixels, directed by Chris Columbus (Home Alone, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone). To hype the 2015 release, the first photo has arrived online showing Sandler along with Josh Gad and Peter Dinklage suited up like astronauts from Armageddon making a slow-motion hero's stroll through fog. Michelle Monaghan is there too, but the real star is Dinklage's ridiculously gross mullet. Look below!

First Look: Jack Black as R.L. Stine in 'Goosebumps' Horror Adventure
With the exception of Kung Fu Panda, there hasn't been much to enjoy about the more family friendly work of Jack Black lately. Therefore we're hopeful but skeptical about him starring in Goosebumps, a film inspired by the R.L. Stine horror book series for kids of the same name from the actor's Gulliver's Travels director Rob Letterman. However, the meta storyline sees Black playing Stine himself, a monster whisperer of sorts who uses his books to keep these terrors locked up. Now we have two first look photos from the film featuring Black with Dylan Minnette (Prisoners) and Odeya Rush (We Are What We Are).

Pet & PJay | Outdoor Love Engagement Sessions { General Santos City & Banga, South Cotabato }
On a sunny day, we took a hike with Maphett (or Pet) & Pjay (PJ) at the verdant woods of Banga, South Cotabato for their Outdoor Love Engagement Session. They were dressed in couple's shirts, shorts, and hiking boots— both wearing purple backpacks; binoculars around their necks. To where?
But does the destination matter?
Pet & PJ have started the journey years ago—when they met and became friends back in college. When both joined and became active in a Christian ministry for children and young teens, their friendship deepened.
It was their parents who saw a connection that could go beyond friendship. They opened the reality of the ministry to Pet and PJ. Now a pastor, PJ shares the ingredient of a strong and happy relationship. According to him, "A loving prayerful relationship is a good relationship". Pet, who works as a programmer, balances the relationship by always making quality time for both PJ and the ministry.
On March 16, 2013, while having coffee at Starbucks, PJ popped the question. Pet, of course, said yes.It was a special part of the shoot when we went to the Starbucks SM City branch where PJ proposed to Pet. This time they wore red couples' shirts, jeans, and red sneakers.
Being together is a matter of understanding each other and showing compassion. "...we want to be with each other not because of the strengths that we can see but because we discern to see and embrace the weaknesses that we have," said PJ.
A crucial ingredient to sustaining a relationship is FUN. Their outgoing personalities showed in our Pinoy games- themed shoot. They played tumba lata with ministry kids. Tumba lata or 'fallen can' in English is a popular Philippine game that calls for the players to make weapons of their slippers. Their target? A tin can set up several feet away from them. The players have to tackle the can with a throw of their slippers.
This themed engagement session styled by Ms. Vina Routel of Love & Metaphor produced genuine fun for everyone. Playing tumba lata put PJ, Pet and the kids at ease until we could hear their laughter from within.
PJ and Pet understand that agreeing to "till death do us part" is not the guarantee of a lasting marriage. Rather, working on being together every day is.
PJ explains: "Our view for a good relationship is ABCD. A for Accepting each other's weaknesses and God's dealing to us in every circumstance. B is for Believing each other's views with respect and love without a doubt.
Moreover, Believing in what God says through His Word. C is for Confessing every mistake to each other and unto God and to keep a promise to help each other to stand up and be encouraged. And D is for Developing each other's strengths through daily appreciation."
Now, the journey starts to infinity and beyond.
And as Jim Brickman's song "The Love I Found in You" goes:
"You are my shelter from the storm
You are the road that leads me home
And baby, with you here face to face
Oh, I know I've found my place..."

Huntsman's Boycott of Nevada Could Win New Hampshire Voters
Huntsman's foreign policy speech proposed to reexamine the military structure, which he called top-heavy, and post-Cold War. Romney promoted military supremacy as a way to deter would-be aggressors. Huntsman has said that defense spending needs to be "transformed" whereas Romney has condemned President Barack Obama's "massive" defense cuts.
Huntsman offered an economic plan based on four categories, as opposed to Romney's 59-point plan. Huntsman wanted to eliminate capital gains taxes, while Romney would reduce capital gains to 25%. Further, Romney has been vocal about labor unions in the debates (he also cited the Boeing case in the economic speech), but Huntsman has remained mostly mum on the issue (though the American Jobs Alliance assailed Huntsman on how his trade platform harms jobs ).
It all adds up to one big gamble for Huntsman in New Hampshire. If he can somehow outmaneuver Romney with less money in the Granite State, maybe the former Utah governor could have a chance to gain primary momentum. And at a time when Obama is losing favor among independent voters, the independently-minded Huntsman alternative might be what Republicans need when the 2012 general election gets under way.

Safety Experts Ill-equipped to Handle Nanotechnology in WorkplaceWashington, DC | Posted on December 28th, 2006
Last year, nanotechnology was incorporated into $30 billion in manufactured goods-a number predicted to grow to $2.6 trillion in annual manufactured goods by 2014. Already, there are almost 400 manufacturer-identified nanotechnology-based consumer products on the market-ranging from computer chips to automobile parts and from clothing to cosmetics and dietary supplements (see: http://www.nanotechproject.org/consumerproducts). By 2015, the National Science Foundation estimates that the nanotechnology sector will employ more than 2 million workers.

ROBBIE Savage has set a world record – with his backside.
The Wrexham man achieved a new Guinness world record title for the most seats sat on in one minute at Wembley Stadium.
After a nail-biting contest that saw the former-Welsh international footballer beat fellow competitor Alan Shearer to become a new Guinness World Records title holder by just one seat, the pair continue on their Sport Relief race to be the first to sit on half the seats at Wembley – a brutal 45,000 seats each.
Latest stats revealed Savage, from Bradley. was trailing 614 seats behind Shearer on the third day of the five-day challenge, despite his world record being achieved yesterday morning.
On Thursday – day four of the challenge – the pair upped their competitive spirit with the Guinness World Records attempt.
With their backsides now feeling the burn having squatted and slid over 30,000 seats each, the pair dug deep and powered through the pain in the world record bid – with 60 seats in one minute the number to beat.
After managing to cover a whopping 86 seats in 60 seconds, Savage emerged the victor.
After winning the mini-battle, Savage tweeted: "I'm a World Record holder! 86 seats in one minute. Only another 15,000 odd to go #backsides"
Guinness World Records adjudicator Tom Ibison said: "It's a thin line between success and failure, and so it provided as Robbie managed to sit on one more seat than Alan and achieve the new Guinness World Records title for most seats sat on in one minute."
At the close of day three, despite clocking up 8,722 seats in his third 24-hour stint, Savage's determined effort still fell short of Shearer's speedy squatting – pushing the ex-England captain and fellow BBC football pundit even further into pole position with a massive 9,020 seats covered in day three.
To support Savage in this brutal task, as well as to be in with the chance to win prizes, the Battle of the Backsides competition can be entered at www.sportrelief.com/backsides
Each competition entry costs £5, which goes to Sport Relief.
Prizes include tickets to see England play at the World Cup in Brazil, two centre court tickets to Wimbledon or to see One Direction on their UK tour.

With Arsenal dropping out of the race (possibly because the deal with Theo Walcott is as good as done) Man United and Spurs have been battling it out for the signature of Crystal Palace's highly promising winger Wilfried Zaha. Spurs were apparently first to contact the club about the winger, but Fergie, a huge fan of the player has been monitoring the progress of the talks.
According to The Mirror it is Spurs who are in pole position.
Manchester United boss Fergie has now made an official move for the Eagles kid, but Palace supremo Steve Parish is refusing to talk to the Old Trafford giants.
And Ferguson will be furious to discover that Parish will meet Tottenham supremo Levy tomorrow to thrash out Zaha's future.
The two clubs are already at loggerheads over Spurs' deal for Ezekiel Fryers.
The Mail reports that Spurs bid for Zaha is around £10 million and part of the deal is that the player would have to be loaned back to Palace for the rest of the season.

Hidden Printing Features
Everyone knows how to print... it's just File/Print, or Command-P for the keyboard people. What else is there to know? Plenty. Here are some tips that will have you printing faster/better/more efficiently than ever before.
Tip Number One: Expand the Print dialog box.
When you bring up the Print dialog box, it might be kind of small, like this:
If you like 'em small, this box will work just fine... but if you want access to bunch of handy features, click that downward-pointing triangle in the blue square, up at the top of the box. When you do that, you get an expanded box. Just look at all of those options (see below).
Ah, that's better. You get a nice preview (now we know it's going to take 24 pages to print), and you get to specify how many copies, and which pages, and a whole lot more. Use the little arrows under the preview thumbnail to see what's one each page-- maybe you don't need to print everything after all.
Tip Number Two: Explore the Layout options.
In the expanded dialog box above, I'm printing from Safari. (One of the clues is the pop-up menu that says "Safari" on it.) If you click on the pop-up menu that says "Safari" you will see some other choices (see below). Choose Layout and you'll see things change up a bit.
After choosing Layout, here I've chosen to print two "pages" on each sheet of paper. All of a sudden my 24-page print job is going to take only 12 sheets. All I did is choose 2 from the "Pages per Sheet" menu (could have been 4, 6, 9, or 16 if I wanted it to be) and then choose an option from the Border menu. See below.
Pretty neat. One of these days this is going to help you.
Tip Number Three: Print your pictures using Preview
I hope that you're using Preview to open JPEGs and PDFs and other graphic formats. I could write a nice blog entry showing why Preview is so much better than Acrobat Reader, or I could just tell you it's better and hope you'll take my word for it. When it comes to printing, nothing has a better combination of features and ease of use than Preview-- certainly not Acrobat.
Here's a picture, opened in Preview, and we're ready to print.
This looks a lot like the Safari Print dialog but there are plenty of differences. Most important is the "Scale to Fit" button. You can see, in the box next to "Scale", that Preview had to scale the image to 70% to fit it onto the paper. Nicely, conveniently, this is what Preview does, by default. Very nice of them.
The Auto Rotate checkbox is almost always a good thing to have checked, so leave it checked.
Now, let's look at the bottom of the box, where it says "Images per page." Let's say that you want to make multiple copies of the picture-- smaller ones that you can give away. Choose a number other than 1 in the Images per page pop-up menu, and check the box next to "Print n copies per page." ("n" will be the number you chose in the Images per page pop-up menu.) You'll see what you're going to get in the thumbnail preview. Notice that "Auto Rotate" did its thing here, rotating the image so it fits better on the page.
You can't do it any easier than that.
Pretty neat, eh?

New Apple MacBook Airs
Apple introduced a new MacBook Air portable computer today-- actually, two of them. One has a 13-inch screen and the other an 11-incher. They replace the existing MacBook Air and offer several improvements over the older model, including longer battery life, better screens, instant on, and a great big multi-touch trackpad. The biggest difference under the hood is the use of a "Flash" drive rather than a traditional spinning mechanical hard disk. For all practical purposes the MacBook Air's new Flash drive is just like a digital camera card-- small, flat, no noise, no moving parts, all electronic, low power demands. You can get as much as 256 Gigabytes of storage space when you buy the MacBook Air and if I were buying one, that's what I would do. There's a 128 GB version, and a 64 GB version (for the 11-inch model only) but I'd go with 256. I wouldn't be mad at you if you got the 128, but I would not recommend the 64 GB model because I think you need more space than that.
You will enjoy this little video, courtesy of Apple, talking about the new MacBook Air and how it came to be.
Here are some things to watch and listen for as you watch the video.
- Isn't it ironic that Apple has based this machine on Flash technology, when it was only a few months ago that Steve Jobs was telling us how miserable Flash is and that he wants nothing to do with it? Actually, maybe it's not ironic. It turns out that "Flash" is the name of two totally different things. The Flash that Steve doesn't like is resource-hogging software from Adobe, used in web page design. The Flash that Steve does like is a little storage device on a chip, like a camera card. Totally different things, with the same name. What a drag.
- They refer to the camera as a "FaceTime" camera. Yesterday, we called it the iSight camera. Bye-bye, iSight. Hello, FaceTime. I'd expect to see more and more FaceTime stuff as time goes by-- including, I predict, coming soon to an iPad near you.
- Does every interview with Jonathan Ive have him facing the same direction, slightly off-screen? So far, yes.
- Bonus: Jonathan Ive says "Aluminium" as only he can say it, at the 2:27 point. Listen for it.
Update: two more things about the new MacBook Airs. First, they are fast-- about as fast as the "regular" MacBooks and MacBook Pros. Second, they are thin. Very thin. If they were any thinner they would only have one side! Heh heh. Extra credit for those who laugh at my joke.

Solve an Irritating Mail problem
Ever make a typo in someone's email address, and from then on Mail keeps using that mis-typed address? Or, ever have a friend change email addresses, and every time you try to email him Mail remembers the old address instead? What an irritation. Most people just live with it, but some people complain, and thanks to them we have this here blog entry that tells you how to Fix This Problem.
Step 1: in Mail, go to the Window menu and select "Previous Recipients."
You'll get a window like this one, but less blurry:
That's a list of everyone you've sent emails to. Find the ones that are wrong, click on them, and use the "Remove From List" button to get rid of them. Problem solved.
Microsoft Entourage users: I haven't forgotten you. You can indeed clear out an address from Entourage's "Recently Emailed" list-- but it's an all-or-nothing affair. Apple's Mail is better because it lets you pick and choose.
Here's what it looks like in Entourage. Get there by going to the Entourage menu and choosing Preferences.
Of course you won't see the helpful red box, but you'll figure it out once you're there.

Quickly Edit Events in iCal
Maybe I should have known this one and maybe everyone else already does. I guess we'll find out.
When you make an event in iCal it is assigned a "calendar" (category). The one that's assigned is the one that's selected in the list at iCal's left. Often, it's not the one you want. Here's how to change it quickly.
This is my list of iCal calendars, and I've selected "CB & A." If I make a new event it will belong to the CB & A calendar
If I want to change it to "cb Personal" it used to take a bit of work:
- Double-click the event
- Click the Edit button
- Choose a Calendar by clicking on the name of the calendar you assigned to begin with and then choosing another
- Click the Done button.
Did you already know that?

New research shows that a common antidepressant may cut production of one of the chief suspects in the investigation of Alzheimer's disease. These findings open a new avenue in the hunt for drugs to prevent the devastating brain disease.
It's far too early for anyone worried about dementia to try citalopram, which is sold as Celexa. "This is not the great new hope. This is a small step," cautioned Yvette Sheline of the University of Pennsylvania, who is leading the research with John Cirrito of Washington University in St. Louis.

Apr 26th 2014 | From the print edition
MANGANISM has been known about since the 19th century, when miners exposed to ores containing manganese, a silvery metal, began to totter, slur their speech and behave like someone inebriated. The poisoning was irreversible, and soon ended in psychosis and death. Nowadays workers are exposed to far lower doses and manganism is rare. But new research suggests it could be some way from being eradicated entirely. The metal's detrimental effects on human health may be subtle but widespread, contributing to diseases known by other names.
For the past ten years Brad Racette, a neurologist at Washington University in St Louis, Missouri, has been tracking those effects, paying special attention to welders, since they are exposed to more manganese than most people. Being harder than iron, manganese is often used to strengthen steel and is present in many industrial emissions, including welding fumes.
In one study, Dr Racette found that symptoms resembling Parkinson's disease (PD) were 15% more prevalent in welders than in other kinds of workers. In another, he found that in a small sample of welders who had not yet reported any neurological symptoms, brain scans showed signs of damage to a part of their brains called the striatum that co-ordinates movement and is damaged in PD. In the case of PD, it has been clearly shown that the first symptoms appear only after the striatum has lost more than half of its neurons.
These findings were controversial, and not just with the industries that make use of manganese. Though most neurologists agree that manganese poisoning and PD have a lot in common, others have found that the pattern of damage in the brains of PD patients and those exposed to high levels of manganese differs in important ways. The differences are reflected, Dr Racette's critics say, in the fact that PD responds well to the drug L-dopa—a chemical precursor of dopamine, the neurotransmitter that patients lack because the brain cells that make it gradually die—whereas L-dopa does nothing for those with manganese poisoning.
This debate matters because on it rests the question of whether manganese in the environment could be one cause of PD—a disease that affects a significant fraction of the general population, not just manganese-exposed workers. Around 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with PD each year. In a 2010 survey, Dr Racette's group found that PD was between two and ten times more common in the American Midwest and north-east—where industrial manganese emissions are highest—than in western and southern regions.
That was a dramatic finding, but it was only a correlation and not proof of a causal link. Now, however, Dr Racette thinks he has found the ideal population in which to search for that link. Some 80% of the world's known high-grade manganese ore lies beneath the desert of South Africa's Northern Cape Province, where it is mined. But South Africans also mine for other things, including gold and diamonds. For the past 100 years a national scheme has provided free heart-and-lung autopsies on dead miners, and compensation to their families if these reveal mining-related diseases such as mesothelioma.
About five years ago Dr Racette's group persuaded the scheme's organisers to include miners' brains in the autopsies, and with Gill Nelson, an epidemiologist from Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg, and others he has now studied over 60 of them. The first results, published in Neurotoxicology late last year, suggest that those who were exposed to manganese had lost significantly more grey matter from the striatum than those who were not. Interestingly, says Dr Racette, the miners are on average exposed to less manganese than welders are in the United States.
The number of brains autopsied is still too small to provide convincing evidence that manganese causes PD. But Dr Racette says the miners' brains could anyway reveal a lot about what does cause PD. They show signs of inflammation, for example; one theory holds that PD involves an inflammatory reaction in the brain.
Either way, it is now clear that exposure to high levels of manganese is not good for the brain. But what constitutes a high level? As a trace element in people's diet, manganese is essential to keeping organs, including the brain, healthy. The American standard for the airborne concentration of manganese dust is now 5 milligrammes per cubic metre of air—a vast improvement on the doses of close to 1,000mg/m3 that some workers were exposed to only 60 years ago. Last year, Robert Park, a statistician with America's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, published a review which concluded there was good evidence of neurological effects at concentrations lower than 0.2mg/m3.
Manganese is not the only toxin in industrial emissions whose effects on human health are not properly understood. Such controversies will continue.
From the print edition: Science and technology
The symposium will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Eric P. Newman Education Center.
Its keynote speakers will be Sean Morrison, PhD, director of the Children's Medical Center Research Institute, the Mary McDermott Cook Chair in Pediatric Genetics at the University of Texas Southwestern, and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator; and Jonathan A. Epstein, MD, the William Wikoff Smith Professor of Cardiovascular Research, chair of the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology and scientific director of the Penn Cardiovascular Institute at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
Morrison will discuss the impact of the NF1 gene on stem cell function in the developing brain, while Epstein will present data from fish models that reveal important roles for the NF1 gene in heart development.
Of the three forms of NF, NF1 is the most common, affecting 1 in 2,500 individuals worldwide. There is no cure for NF1, and its effects are difficult to predict.
There is no charge to attend the symposium, but those interested in attending are encouraged to register online by May 2. For more information, email email@example.com.
Increased brain cell activity boosts brain fluid levels of a protein linked to Alzheimer's disease, according to new research from scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
Tau protein is the main component of neurofibrillary tangles, one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. It has been linked to other neurodegenerative disorders, including frontotemporal dementia, supranuclear palsy and corticobasal degeneration.
"Healthy brain cells normally release tau into the cerebrospinal fluid and the interstitial fluid that surrounds them, but this is the first time we've linked that release in living animals to brain cell activity," said senior author David M. Holtzman, MD. "Understanding this link should help advance our efforts to treat Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative disorders associated with the tau protein.
The study appears online in The Journal of Experimental Medicine.
Tau protein stabilizes microtubules, which are long columns that transport supplies from the center of the cell to the distant ends of the cell's branches. Some tau in the cell is not bound to microtubules. This tau can become altered and clump together inside brain cells, forming structures called tangles. Scientists have tracked the spread of these clumps through brain networks in animal models.
"In Alzheimer's disease, you first see clumps of tau in a region called the entorhinal cortex, and then in the hippocampus, and it continues to spread through the brain in a regular pattern," said Holtzman, the Andrew B. and Gretchen P. Jones Professor and head of the Department of Neurology. "In another disorder, supranuclear palsy, tau clumps first appear in the brain stem and then spread to regions that the brain stem projects to."
These regular patterns of tau spread through brain networks have led scientists to speculate that dysfunctional tau travels to different brain regions via synapses — the areas where individual nerve cells communicate with each other.
Holtzman's results support this hypothesis, showing that when nerve cells "talk" to each other, tau levels go up in the fluids between those cells, suggesting that brain cells are secreting tau when they send signals.
So far, the researchers only have been able to measure single copies of tau in brain fluid, not the tau clumps. They are looking for a way to detect the clumps. If brain cells can secrete and take in clumps of tau, the scientists believe, these clumps may cause previously normal tau in the receiving cell to become corrupted, fostering the spread of a form of tau involved in disease.
"We also want to know whether brain cells are secreting tau as waste or if tau has a function to perform outside the cell," Holtzman said. "For example, there have been hints that tau may modulate how easy or difficult it is to get brain cells to communicate with each other."
