After loads of loads of talk, H20 Motion Pictures has finally received financing for their forthcoming remake of The Gate, which will be shot in 3-D by actor-turned-director Alex Winter (who you might know from the Bill and Ted movies and Lost Boys. You can read the details inside. No word on any casting yet.
Frankfurts HessenInvestFilm and Stuttgart-based MFG Baden-Württemberg have allocated $1.9m (1.35m) to Germanys first 3D live action film, Alex Winters The Gate.
The UK-born actor-directors remake of the 1987 horror film will begin production at the MMC Studios in Cologne in the late summer. The film has also received $1.2m (900,000) from Düsseldorfs Filmstiftung NRW.
The original, which starred Stephen Dorff, followed three young children who accidentally release a horde of nasty, pint-sized demons from a hole in a suburban backyard. What follows is a classic battle between good and evil as the three kids struggle to overcome a nightmarish hell that is literally taking over the Earth.
It is the second collaboration between the studios production arm MMC Independent and Andras Hamoris H20 Motion Pictures after they co-produced Stephen Frears Cheri last year.
Visual effects for The Gate will be handled by the Frankfurt and Stuttgart studios of Pixomondo. Its recent credits include Niki Muellerschoens The Red Baron, Roland Emmerichs 2012 and James McTeigues Ninja Assassin.
In addition, HessenInvestFilm awarded $384,523 (250,000) for UK writer-director Mark Cairns mystery thriller Cold Storage, which is being planned as a 3D feature by Frankfurts MagnaManaProduction.

AWiL has a special place in my heart due to being the only film that has truly terrified me as a young child. I was stopping at my cousins house and, when everyone else was asleep, I snuck this on. I couldn't have beeN more than 7 or 8 at the time and I basically got to the bit where David wakes up in hospital and sees jack and turned it off in fright. Not at jack but at the bit on the moors. It's the only film ever to have scared me and created my morbid fascination with werewolves which I still have to this day. I was 18 before I braved watching this film again...

It's to be renamed Let Me In, which is apparently a more faithful translation of John Ajvide Lindqvist's original title than the moniker of this year's Swedish adaptation, and is scheduled for release in the autumn of next year.
Nice to see them doing their research (the claimants and Empire) - the original Swedish title of the book and film is based on the Morrissey track "Let The Right One Slip In". Of which "Let Me In" is not, I would hazard, a more faithful translation. Bodes well, either way.

Last month on the /Filmcast, Eric Vespe, better known as Quint from Aint It Cool News, mentioned that he is surprised that Hollywood hasnt tried to remake Brewsters Millions yet especially since its such a perfect high concept comedy premise, the kind Hollywood loves. Either someone in Hollywood was listening (doubtful, but you never know) or Quint was able to accurately predict what Hollywood would do next, because Warner Bros has hired a screenwriting team to write a new take on the story.
Michael Diliberti and Matthew Sullivan have been hired to adapt a new film based on the 1902 George Barr novel, which has gone on to be adapted for stage and screen almost a dozen times. The 1985 comedy directed by Walter Hill and starring Richard Pryor and John Candy was one of my favorite movies to watch as a kid. Its definitely not a great film, but its a lot of fun. The story followed a poor minor league baseball player who inherits $300 million from an unknown rich relative. But only under the stipulation that he waste $30 million in 30 days, with no assets to show for it, without revealing to anyone, including his closest friends, the stipulations of the $300 deal. The original novel, which involved a slightly different storyline, with a lot smaller money figures, is available for free on Google Books.
The screenwriting team doesnt have any prior produced writing credits, but garnered some good buzz with a spec called Comic-Con. The buddy comedy tells the story of two friends who devise a plan and execute a heist at Comic-Con in order to save their beloved neighborhood comic shop from the danger of an evil corporate takeover.

Rob Zombie is Remaking The Blob
August 28, 2009
Rob Zombie, whose Halloween II opens today, will write, direct and produce a remake of the 1958 horror classic The Blob, which starred Steve McQueen.
In the original, an object from space crashes into a field, containing a red blob-like substance that absorbs the humans it contacts and grows exponentially.
"My intention is not to have a big red blobby thing -- that's the first thing I want to change," Zombie told the trade. "That gigantic Jello-looking thing might have been scary to audiences in the 1950s, but people would laugh now."
Zombie will produce with Genre Co.'s Richard Saperstein and Brian Witten; original "Blob" producer Jack H. Harris; and Judith Parker Harris of Worldwide Entertainment Corp. and Andy Gould.
They are developing the project as an R-rated film that will cost around $30 million to make.
Production will begin next spring.

"My intention is not to have a big red blobby thing -- that's the first thing I want to change,"
Then why bother calling it The Blob?!?
A remake is bad enough, the fact it's being directed by someone who has never made a good movie before makes this news even worse.

Fantastic Four Reboot Confirmed - Fox hires Batman & Robin scribe to oversee redo.
20th Century Fox has confirmed rumors from earlier this year that it will reboot its Fantastic Four franchise by announcing the hiring of Oscar-winning screenwriter (and, ahem, fanboy favorite) Akiva Goldsman to oversee the project. Before he became a producer on Jonah Hex, won an Oscar for scripting A Beautiful Mind, and made a bundle adapting Dan Brown's Robert Langdon novels into movies, Goldsman wrote the Joel Schumacher nipplefests Batman Forever and Batman & Robin.
Variety reports that Fox has also set Heroes and Green Lantern scribe Michael Green to pen the screenplay. The trade adds that since the reboot deals are just getting under way, it's too early to tell if any cast members from the first two films -- Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Michael Chiklis, Chris Evans and Julian McMahon -- will reprise their respective roles for the reboot. This contradicts reports from last March that claimed Fox wanted to completely retool and recast the franchise and replace director Tim Story.
The FF reboot news comes less than a day after it was announced that the Walt Disney Company had made a deal to acquire Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion. Word of the deal instantly spurred speculation that Marvel (and, hence, Disney) would inevitably reclaim those properties of theirs whose screen rights were held by other studios.
But, as Variety points out, "Fox controls Fantastic Four in perpetuity -- as long as it continues making the films. Fox has the same arrangement on Marvel Comics properties X-Men, Daredevil and Silver Surfer. Marvel is a producer and financial participant through a licensing agreement."

Now this was a remake I didnt see coming. THRs Heat Vision blog is reporting that George Romeros zombie classic, Night of the Living Dead, is going to be remade into a 3D CGI film by first-time director Zebediah de Soto. The project, titled Night of the Living Dead: Origins, will have no involvement from Romero (though that may not be a bad thing these days). De Soto mentioned that he wants to focus on the characters backstories, and aim for it to look like an American-styled anime. Origins is being produced by Simon West (Con Air, Tomb Raider)which probably isnt the most heartening bit of news.
Origins will join the company of a multitude of revisions/reimaginings/remakes of Night of the Living Dead. The original film has been in the public domain for some time now, making it a really cheap target for these sorts of projects. Most recently there was the horrendous Night of the Living Dead 3D, and theres also an upcoming collaborative remake, Night of the Living Dead Reanimated.
De Soto and his partner Gus Malliarodaki founded New Golden Digital, a digital effects company. Origins will be developed using an intriguing bit of tech they created:
The duo created and designed a real-time effects system, known as The Beast, which allows filmmakers the ability to direct CG performances the same way they would direct real live actors. The aim of the process is to make tennis balls on a stick representing real people or monsters a thing of the past by allowing actors interact with CG elements as if they are tangible.
Im honestly more interested in how their technology holds up than in this remake. It could end up being a good low-budget solution that ends up giving results similar to what James Cameron is attempting to do with Avatar. If anything, the Night of the Living Dead property is a cheap way for De Soto to test his technology without losing too much if the project ends up being a dud.

Predictable news this evening with a double-take twist. David Cronenberg is said to be developing a remake of his 1986 sci-fi horror classic The Fly as a potential vehicle for him to write and direct. Risky Business reports that technological leaps are the main factor in Cronenbergs decision to remake the material, which is a common excusewhat, no 3D catch?but in this case, justifiable. Cronenbergs The Fly was itself a heightened and gory creature feature remake of the campy 1958 film of the same name starring Vincent Price. Last year, he was involved in an opera production of the film for the stage with composer Howard Shore. Common sense says the opera was the decisions spark.
However, in the past Cronenberg has been rather vocal as a detractor to any proposed remake by 20th Century Fox, where the project remains parked and started buzzing on-and-off a few years ago. Theres yet no word on when the remake would begin filming. Cronenberg remains set to direct The Matarese Circle with Denzel Washington and Tom Cruise, based on his scripted adaptation of the global-conspiracy action novel by Robert Ludlum. In fact, back in April he was quoted as saying the following
I think when you get too comfortable, you need to scare yourself by trying something youve never done before. It comes from the same place as wanting to direct an opera, or write a novel, or curate an Andy Warhol art exhibit.
The budget for Circle would certainly be Cronenbergs largest and undoubtedly make for his biggest mainstream effort; and based on early word his Fly remake would be similarly epic in scope. The guy has been in the Canadian trenches creating perverse classics like Dead Ringers, Scanners, and Videodrome for years, so I dont have a problem with this creative path. Also of note: the latter two films mentioned in the previous sentence are both up for remakes, with Universal having announced a Videodrome reboot (ack!) in April as well.

Remakes...I don't like them
I dunno, some of my favourite films are remakes- The Thing, Fistful of Dollars, the Kaufman version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (although the Abel Ferrara one's a hoot as well), Magnificent Seven etc... Although I've never quite understood remaking a good film, as it would seem to be easier to screw up. Much better to take a vaguely shitty film and make it good. (I suppose Short Circuit fits that bill).
- 0
Posted 25 September 2009 - 11:50 PM
However, it's heartening to read that the majority of the remakes are never made (the first post has a remake of the Wild Bunch and Predator to be done.. thankfully they've never appeared. Yet). It's also very heartening to know that the majority of these remakes take up about 2 weeks of promotion/cinema play before disappearing down the toilet forever (see the current Fame remake). Or they end up straight to DVD.
However, a remake of Short Circuit (which was, essentially, a rip off of bloody ET- but with a robot) is a pretty stupid idea. Considering that they will probably replace Jonny 5 with a CGI robot (and therefore removing the credibility) will make it worse. Unless the Guttenberg is brought back.
In fact, Steve Guttenberg's whole 80s career is a treasure trove of remake possibilities- Police Academy, Cocoon, 3 Men and A Baby (yeah, it was a remake. And from 1990).
Now.. the only remake I'm looking forward to is Stallone's of "Death Wish".....

No, no, no NO NO NO NOOOOOOOO. I start overacting like Shia LaBeouf when I learn news about Hollywood remaking or sequelizing movies from my childhood. Im not an anti-sequel person, and in that area, Im a lot more optimistic than most film fanatics. With the advances in technology and special effects, I understand the want to update some of the big sci-fi and effects heavy classics (not that I agree, but I at least understand )
But some movies just need to be left alone: particularly dramas and comedies. The Karate Kid doesnt need a remake starring Will Smiths son and Jackie Chan, and Nation Lampoons Vacation doesnt need another crappy sequel/spin-off. New Line/Warner Bros has signed Wedding Crashers and Fred Claus director David Dobkin to produce and possibly direct a new film in the Vacation series.
New Line has already developed a storyline, which they are now meeting with screenwriters to pen the script. The story follows Rusty Griswold, the son of Clark Griswold (played by Chevy Chase in the original films), who is now a father in his own right and takes his family on a, you guessed it, road trip vacation. Heatvision reports that New Line hopes to make a movie that skews more towards Planes Trains and Automobiles or Little Miss Sunshine than RV or Are We There Yet? Thank God
And the movie will not be a remake, but a sequel/spin-off/reboot. The first trip would be acknowledged and the story will focus on a new adventure. The plan is to write in parts, although it hasnt been established if it would be a cameo or something much larger, for Chase and Beverly DAngelo to return as grandparents. Of course, no deals are in place.
It is unlikely that any of the original Griswold child actors will return for the new film, since Rusty and Audrey have been played by a different set of actors in each film. This fact is actually made into a joke in Vegas Vacation when Clark tells his children that he hardly recognizes them anymore.
Its hard to complain about another sequel since this franchise has already been milked to death. Its not like this film could ever hurt the series legacy, at least not any more than Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddies Island Adventure (which is one of the worst films Ive ever seen ever). Christmas Vacation is one of the few third films in a movie series that ended up surpassing the sequel, European Vacation, by leaps and bounds. The 1997 film Vegas Vacation wasnt horrible, but also wasnt on the same level as either Vacation or Christmas Vacation.
Is this such a bad idea? Would it be fun to return to Walley World with a new generation of Griswolds?

My main concern always lies in the fact that the new audiences they are so obviously intended for will forget or never even see the original... My nephew watches remakes and when I show him the original he mocks them for their 'oldness' and 'rubbish special effects' I also find this with US remakes of Japanese horror movies...
I'm telling you now, if they every even threaten to remake Back To The Future...

Watch Dogs Launching May Or June At The Earliest?
Posted on Saturday, January 25 @ 05:27:59 Eastern by Alex_OsbornNoam Jenkins, the voice behind Aiden Pearce in Watch Dogs, has potentially outed the release window for Ubisoft's highly anticipated open-world action game.
In response to a fan on Twitter, Jenkins indicated that he's been told that recording for the game will wrap up in May or June.
Bear in mind that he's responding specifically to when he'll finish recording, indicating that the game won't release until May or June at the very earliest.

Ed: This piece first ran on our sister site—Tom's Guide—earlier in November. We haven't spent much time on multimedia notebooks, instead preferring to focus on the mobile gaming hardware instead. But because these are still fairly powerful multimedia configurations, they warrant a look over here as well. If you read this story on Tom's Guide last week, hopefully this note saves you a few minutes (check out the introduction to our Overdrive Overclocking Competition instead). If you missed it, though, we hope you enjoy it now. Take it away, Ed.
A Quintet Of Mobile Media Mavens
Looking at the latest crop of multimedia notebooks, I'm struck by the strong grab that such computers are making at our home entertainment hubs. As our test results will demonstrate, battery life is nowhere near as important as display size and capability, especially for the biggest models with 1080p-capable screens built in. But while this makes for dismal operating time when operating un-tethered, whom would it really bother to have one of these notebooks always on the coffee table in a living or family room?
Here's the line-up of machines we cover in this review, along with some of their more salient characteristics:
- Acer 8920G: 18.4" display, 1920x1200 resolution, Blu-ray burner
- Asus M70S: 17" display, 1440x900 resolution, DVD burner
- Eurocom D90X: 17" display, 1920x1200, Blu-ray player
- HP Pavilion HDX 9203KW: 20.1" display, 1920x1200 resolution, Blu-ray Player
- Sony VAIO VGN-AR790U: 17" display, 1920x1200 resolution, Blu-ray Player
All of these units weigh at least 8 lbs or more; none qualifies as "small," as the tables of detailed specifications that appear later in this story attest. It's clear that media playback capabilities were judged as more important design criteria than portability or battery life. Given that they're all unabashedly multimedia units, we think that's a good thing!
In the pages that follow, we introduce and describe each of the five units listed, then describe and discuss our test results. Although we report on battery life (where feasible, since we couldn't finish some tests because battery life was too short), we don't think it's a significant factor when choosing a multimedia notebook. Expense, ease of use and media handling are far more important for this type of machine.

Pretty pretty please with a cherry on top?
0TheGreatGrapeApe , November 17, 2008 7:33 AMTo me the $300-450 laptops aren't worth an in depth review, just a quicky 2 pager (is it capable as a netbook yes/no) that's a disposable laptop you buy a kids or as a couch laptop or travel one.
I want to know what my $2K+ buys me, the $300 laptop is the price of one of the options on these things. That's the bigger risk. What's anyone really expecting in a $300-400 laptop, certainly not heaving gsaming, video editing or programming.
It may seem elitist, but with the limited amount of info out there on laptops period, netbooks shouldn't consume much of the reviews time, nor space, I'd rather see more $1,000 and $2,000 and then $3,000+ reviews those 3 categories have more variability and value than the cheapest ones. Who can't figure out if a $400 laptop is worth it from a visit to the best buy or whatever?
Personally I want to see an IBM W700 review, tell me if it's worth the $3,000+ (is the built in Wacom pad good enough, the keyboard stiff enough, is it worth it to get turbo memory now that it's faster & bigger or just go SSD and be done with it, etc), not something to tell me which of the cheap laptops is slower than my previous laptops that you could buy at a discount store for as much and which might be just a tiny bit faster but still just suited for M$ office and websurfing and light photoshoping.

According to the HP Sales guys, its out of production (I got interested and looked for it too). The replacement machine is supposedly the HP HDX 18t, which is only an 18.4", and doesn't have the same hinge structure. Not really a comparable machine. You can still find a few HP Pavilion HDX 20" from third parties if you search around, but I wasn't thrilled about the idea of buying a system they'd already stopped making.
1Anonymous , November 21, 2008 8:00 AMCan you please test one more little thing? Linux compatibility.
Its easy, just toss in an ubuntu live CD, and tell us if things like sound, webcam, wifi etc work out of the box. If they don't, don't bother much trying to get it to work. But Acer for instance is notorious for having buggy ACPI implementation in the bios that detects the OS and only work with Vista. With Linux (possibly even XP) standby will be highly unreliable. Dell and IBM do a much better job at it, and that deserves to be known.
Doing such tests should be very straightforward and accomplish two things:
1) inform us linux users (we buy notebooks too you know )
2) put some pressure on oem's to test their BIOS and hardware with linux
Id appreciate it. No one does this, please be the first
0Anonymous , December 15, 2008 1:21 PMBought the 8920G recently, the ATI version, first power on - entered BIOS and set it to boot from CD, started F10 Live.
Did not do too extensive tests, but webcam, wifi, bluetooth, wired ethernet worked out of the box. Sound did not work, the card seems to be recognized but I never got a sound out of it.
BEWARE: I started Vista only once till the Acer Arcade initial Setup screen, I did not proceed any further (I do not accept the M$ EULA), however after that I was not able to access the BIOS anymore! The "Press F2 to enter setup" message disappeared. Reflashing did not help, only made things worse because I lost the CMOS setting and could not boot from CD anymore (and at that time the hard drive was already formatted to get rid of Vista).

- Double layer socks - Dri-WRIGHT polyester inner layer, wool outer layer
- Machine washable and dryable
- Keeps feet dry and comfortable
- Thin non-padded design
- None
- Polyester inner layer, merino wool outer layer
- Anatomically shaped to stay put on your foot.
- Compression zone at arch for foot support.
- Machine-washable and machine-dryable.
Guide Review - WrightSock Merino Trail Double Layer Socks
They are machine washable and dryable. I found a slight amount of shrinkage on the first wash, but not the major shrinkage I've seen with some other WrightSock types in the past.
I am sensitive to wool and avoid it for its itchiness, but I found the double layer WrightSock to feel great and non-itchy. I wore these socks on a cold day, near freezing, with my mesh shoes. I felt only a little bit of cold.
The socks are not padded, which I appreciated as they fit well with my shoes and regular walking socks.

CHICAGO Ś An unusually massive line of storms packing hail, lightning and tree-toppling winds was rolling through the Midwest on Wednesday and could affect more than one in five Americans from Iowa to Maryland.
Meteorologists were even warning about the possibility of a weather event called a derecho, which is a storm of strong straight-line winds spanning at least 240 miles. The storms are also likely to generate tornadoes and cause power outages that will be followed by oppressive heat, said Russell Schneider, director of the National Weather ServiceÆs Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla.
The weather service issued tornado warnings in several counties in Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. The National Weather Service said a tornado touched down near Belmond, about 90 miles north of Des Moines, but it wasnÆt immediately clear if it caused any damage or injuries.
ōWeÆre becoming increasingly concerned that a major severe weather event will unfold,ö Schneider said. ōThe main thing is for folks to monitor conditions and have a plan for what to do if threatening weather approaches.ö
For the first time this year, the center was using its highest alert level for parts of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. In Chicago, Wednesday nightÆs White Sox game against the Toronto Blue Jays was postponed in anticipation of bad weather and airlines canceled more than 120 flights at OÆHare International Airport.
The storms were expected to push into northwest Indiana early Wednesday evening.
The Northern Indiana Public Service Co., the regionÆs largest utility, said it was increasing staff at its customer call center and scheduling extra work crews to handle any outages.
In Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh was adding public safety and public works personnel and repositioning some equipment to prepare for possible flooding or downed trees and wires, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.
All told, the area the weather service considers to be under heightened risk of dangerous weather includes 74.7 million people in 19 states.
Tornadoes and a derecho can happen at the same time, but at any given place Wednesday the straight-line winds are probably more likely. Straight-line winds lack the rotation that twisters have, but they can still cause considerable damage as they blow down trees and other objects.
ōBe prepared to move away from windows,ö Schneider said. Listen for weather warnings and go into a basement, if possible, and get underneath a study object like a table, he said, if a tornado warning is issued. ōYou want to know where your familyÆs at so everyone can get to safety successfully.ö
Last year, a derecho caused at least $1 billion in damage from Chicago to Washington, killing 13 people and leaving more than 4 million people without power, according to the weather service. Winds reached nearly 100 mph in some places and in addition to the 13 people who died from downed trees, an additional 34 people died from the heat wave that followed in areas without power.
Derechoes, with winds of at least 58 mph, occur about once a year in the Midwest. Rarer than tornadoes but with weaker winds, derechoes produce damage over a much wider area.
WednesdayÆs storm probably wonÆt be as powerful as 2012Æs historic one, but it is expected to cause widespread problems, said Bill Bunting, operations chief at the National Weather ServiceÆs Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla.
The storms will move so fast that ōby the time you see the dark sky and distant thunder you may have only minutes to get to safe shelter,ö Bunting said.
For Washington, Philadelphia and parts of the Mid-Atlantic the big storm risk continues and even increases a bit Thursday, according to the weather service.
The term derecho was coined in 1888, said Ken Pryor, a research meteorologist at the Center for Satellite Applications and Research at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in College Park, Md. The word is Spanish for ōstraight aheadö or ōdirect,ö Pryor said.
The structure of a derecho-producing storm looks distinctive in radar and satellite imagery, Pryor said. ōThe systems are very large and have signatures that are very extreme,ö he said. ōYou get large areas of very cold cloud tops that you typically wouldnÆt see with an ordinary thunderstorm complex. The storms take on a comma or a bow shape thatÆs very distinctive.ö

If you're interested in checking out what the GRE Verbal section of the past looked like, then see what you used to be required to do below:
GRE Verbal Basics
In the past, you would have to first determine which version of the GRE you'd be taking – the Paper-Based GRE or the Computer-Based GRE, because they were two entirely different pots of assessment stew, my friends.
Paper-Based Verbal Reasoning:
- 2 sections
- 38 questions per section
- 30 minutes section
Computer-Based Verbal Reasoning:
- 1 section
- 30 questions
- 30 minutes
GRE Verbal Questions
The questions you would have seen would be taken from areas like the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities. The four types of questions were analogies, antonyms, sentence completions, and reading comprehension questions. Most of these will look very familiar to you, since analogies used to be offered on the SAT, and sentence completions and reading comprehension questions still are.
GRE Verbal Analogies
The old analogies were simply two words separated by a colon. Your job was to determine the relationship between the two words. Are they alike in kind, size, spatial contiguity, degree? Once you'd determined the relationship, you would have had to find a pair of words below the example that had the same relationship as the first pair.
GRE Analogy Example
Hint: Form a very specific sentence with the example words: PARQUET is a design made of WOOD. Determine which two words best fits into the same sentence.
A. color: painting
B. mosaic : glass
C. potpourri : medley
D. collage : tapestry
E. linoleum : marble
Correct Answer: B
GRE Verbal Antonyms
Sure – you remember what "antonym" means: opposite. But, the antonym section tested both vocabulary knowledge and ability to reason. These questions generally stuck to nouns, verbs, and adjectives, but the multiple-choice answers may be either single words or phrases.
GRE Antonym Example
Hint: Remember the definitions of your Greek and Latin roots, prefixes and suffixes. "Re-" means again/back and "cant" is a root that means to speak or sing. So what's the clearest opposite in the list below it?
A. entangle
B. rescue
C. fail
D. assert
E. predict
Correct Answer: D.
GRE Verbal Sentence Completions
Sentence completions tested your vocabulary skills, but also your ability to best determine appropriate syntax, grammar, and word choice in a sentence. Each question was a sentence with one or more blanks in it. You had to choose words from a multiple-choice selection that best fit the meaning of the sentence as a whole.
GRE Verbal Sentence Completion Example:
Solving sentence completions can be tough, but if you cover up the answers and insert words in the blanks you think would fit, often, you'll find synonyms of your guesses in the answer choices.
The novel's protagonist, a pearl diver, naïvely expects that the buyers will compete among themselves to pay him the best price for his pearl, but instead they ____________ to ____________ him.
A. venture…reward
B. pretend…praise
C. collude…swindle
D. refuse…cheat
E. conspire…reimburse
Correct Answer: C.
GRE Verbal Reading Comprehension Questions
You'd be given one reading passage or two related passages with anywhere from about 100 words up to approximately 850 words. (A typical double-spaced page is about 250 words.) Afterward, you'd have to answer one or several multiple-choice questions related to the reading selection.
GRE Verbal Reading Comprehension Example:
Hint: Read through the questions before you read the passage so you know what information you'll need to remember.
Disequilibrium at the interface of water and air is a factor on which the transfer of heat and water vapor from the ocean to the air depends. The air within about a millimeter of the water is almost saturated with water vapor and the temperature of the air is close to that of the surface water. Irrespective of how small these differences might be, they are crucial, and the disequilibrium is maintained by air near the surface mixing with air higher up, which is typically appreciably cooler and lower in water vapor content. The turbulence, which takes its energy from the wind mixes the air. As the speed of wind increases, so does the turbulence, and consequently the rate of heat and moisture transfer. We can arrive at a detailed understanding of this phenomenon after further study. The transfer of momentum from wind to water, which occurs when waves are formed is an interacting-and complicated phenomenon. When waves are made by the wind, it transfers important amounts of energy-energy, which is consequently not available for the production of turbulence.
This passage principally intends to:
A. resolve a controversy
B. attempt a description of a phenomenon
C. sketch a theory
D. reinforce certain research findings
E. tabulate various observations
Correct Answer: B.

Chicago The Band Music Community
The Official Chicago Fan Network
Just heard Chicago and Robin Thicke perform. Chicago was awesome as always. It would have been nice to hear Chicago by themselves but Robin did an ok job singing with the group. The band looked sharp and of course blew the audience away. I looked forward to this Grammy performance for weeks because I was glad to see real talent that has been consistant for decades and is still rockin' away performing and writing new music. I can't wait for the April concert in Minneapolis! It's my musical highlight for 2014. :)
Views: 306
The fact almost 30 million viewers take in this live broadcast speaks volumes. The industry has changed a great deal so it's disappointing that some of the really great new music isn't getting recognized in the primetime /network slot. Still, to keep a program rolling like this & the broad tastes in current music, it is nothing short of remarkable.
Thought this was good reading ... an article from "The Hollywood Reporter" pre-Grammy's, a Q&A w/ Grammy's Executive Producer Ken Ehrlich, whom Lee Loughnane referred to in one of the television interviews locally in Chicago after the event as the mastermind behind many of these musical collaberations.
For Mr. Ehrlich, this was his 34th show. When discussing the possibiities of what can happen on Grammy Night, the sky's been the limit.
From the article:
(Question from interviewer): The pairings this year are typically eclectic -- Sara Bareilles and Carole King, Imagine Dragons and Kendrick Lamar, Robin Thicke and Chicago, but the most eyebrow-raising has to be Chinese classical pianist Lang Lang and Metallica.
(Ehrlich): It's what we do, one of the trademarks of this show, what I'd like to believe separates the Grammys from these other shows. You see artists do things that they just don't do anywhere else. It may have started, years and years ago, with us approaching artists like Prince and Beyonce or Eminem and Elton to suggest these collaborations. The fact is, the artists now come to us with these ideas, and look on it as a road map to the Grammys. You take an Imagine Dragons and Kendrick Lamar, put them together and say, "Make something out of this…" Now, I've heard the scratch track and seen a rough video of what they're going to do, and it's really remarkable when artists get together for the purpose of doing something special. This year, we probably have 10 or 12 of them on the show….which in no way diminishes any individual artist. We really love the idea that there is a family of music, a community of artists out there. Because the Grammys represent so many different genres, I can take a classical pianist like Lang Lang and put them with Metallica, a rock band, and make a great segment. And that's the joy of doing this show. Frankly, the other music award shows which specialize in one particular type of music—say a CMT or BET—don't have that broad palette to paint from. Metallica has performed with symphony orchestras, and we've worked with Lang Lang before. He listens to rock. I don't think it's that far afield at all. Probably the strangest one we've done was Foo Fighters with Chick Corea. As it turned out, there was this metamorphosis that happened between the two of them. All of a sudden, Chick was playing rock chords and Dave Grohl was banging out jazz licks.
For the complete story: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/grammys-executive-producer-ke...
I thought it was a good music sampling. Perhaps it looked a little like Robin was doing his own thing with Chicago as "backup". Egos always seem to play a big part with the newer singers and musicians. Chicago truly showed the class of 2014 what real CLASS is. I watched the video of Chicago at the Tanglewood just before the Grammys. Six musicians, gut-level creativity and intuitive music. They still have it and nicely polished. I was not disappointed with the quality of music the Chicago presented at the Grammys. They still have that same intuitive fire that infuses their music. If I witnessed anything instructive from the Grammy performance it was that modern, younger talent is learning a lot from working with these classy guys. Hopefully It will stick.
I so wanted to have them play just their band. Wasn't too thrilled with RT. They did, however, blow the viewers away with their performance- me included!
I agree that Chicago was in top form and I was glad to see them featured on the Grammy Awards. The band simply exuded class and reminded those folks out there who may have lost touch with the band just how great they still are.
David, I agree that there were a couple of moments on the Grammys that were less than tasteful, but I think the overall performance with Robin Thicke was full of energy and joy.It's true, R.T. may not be iconic 45 yrs from now-I'm having a flashback to 1964(after seeing The Beatles at Int'l Ampitheater, Chicago) where my dad lectured my sister and I that The Beatles would only last a couple yrs but Frank Sinatra would be around for yrs to come.We cried then, but before he passed, my father ended up listening to them with an open mind and eager ears!
It was GREAT seeing them on TV and getting some long over due recognition by industry peers. But in the same note, I found the entire Grammies event to be rather disturbing and disgraceful! Kudos to the guys in the band for being so gracious to Captain Twerk!
On a side bar...like most of you, I am a LIFE LONG Chicago fan and have stuck with them thru the good and the bad. Call me old fashion...but putting this over rated, womanizing, loud mouth of a hack on the same stage with one of the most innovative and enduring rock bands in America's history was a total joke! Tell me this...will the likes of Robin Thicke still be around 45 years from now making music and selling out venues across America and around the world? I seriously DOUBT it! Enough said...

CATEGORIES Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, CinematicalOh, The Twilight Saga. It's the sexiest sex-free series we've ever seen. Bella leaves the sun, heads for the rain, and falls in love with a hundred + year-old virgin vampire who could break her with one single touch ... or thrust as the case may be. He's all distracted by his super vampire strength and early twentieth-century morals, which have him convinced that pre-marital sex might ruin Bella's soul and make her eternally doomed for one act of teenage lust.
Abstinence is the name of the game, though that doesn't keep the pair from cuddling every night, and occasionally partaking in super-steamy, half-clothed makeout sessions. Yet, as sexless as it is, could Twilight actually be selling sex?
Emma Watson, otherwise known as Hermione Granger from the other super-popular fantasy series Harry Potter, let loose a jab at The Twilight Saga while talking about the upcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. WENN quotes her as saying: "This kiss between Hermione and Ron is highly anticipated, it's been building up for eight films now. And Harry Potter is not Twilight, you know; we're not selling sex."
It's an interesting thought to consider -- that Twilight, in all its abstinence-ridden glory, is not just sexy, but is actually selling sex. It makes sense. Though the actual, literal act does not happen until the couple is married in Breaking Dawn, there is nothing as prevalent in the tale as lust and sexual yearning ... except maybe Bella's obsession with Edward's perfect looks. Though Stephenie Meyer gets knocked for a lot of things, the woman knows sexual tension, and infuses it into her series whenever she can. Yes, she stresses marriage before sex, but in a world where girls and boys now bite each other out of vampire play, and girls actually wait for their larger than life Edward Cullen, it's not a jump to imagine fans thinking: "Well, my boyfriend isn't a dangerous vampire ... Let's get it on!"
If fans are obsessed with a series that lathers on lust over and over again, wouldn't that be selling sex a lot more than some simple and vague sex scene? What do you think? Can abstinence sell sex on the screen? Is The Twilight Saga teen sex foreplay?

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Hospital administrators say it's nothing more than a tax on the sick to make up for budget shortfalls.
They say the proposal will have an impact on all Georgians. They worry that even if it doesn't pass, the state will reduce Medicaid payments. House leaders held a hearing on the proposal today.
Hospital administrators say they understand the state's financial situation, but say taxing the sick is not a smart way to solve the problem.
They're concerned the cost could harm, smaller hospitals in rural southwest Georgia that are already just getting by.

The original bow box that I'd made last year was done using the instructions from a 2012 issue of American Woodworker. In the recent past I made a box using inlay banding that woodworking pal Ellen 35 and I made from scratch. Because the raised oak top on this box had some nice figure in it, I decided to off-set the ribbon & bow so the figure would be seen. In this case I made some new inlay banding (still a very labor-intensive process!) from maple walnut and mahogany. When it came time to install the bow pieces, I found that I had to make adjustment to 2 of the end curls because they would stick too far out over the front of the box. I decided that leaving them out totally would look out of balance so, by removing the curl and shortening the pieces, I was happy with the results! After many years of woodworking for practical purposes, I am glad to be able to create pieces for my pleasure and their beauty. Thanks for looking and comments are appreciated.

Ha. Not me. I have no idea what the fuck im gonna do with my life. The only reason i know what college i want to go to is because i dont want to leave my girlfriend, so im goin to a nearby state uni.
Im in my 3rd year of undergraduate degrees in both Computer Science and Business (accounting).
I explained in detail every stage of my education from 16 onwards about a month ago in the RTT!
Im about to start my second year at college, enrolling in about an hour actually. Kinda worried though because my AS grades sucked so i can only hope theyll take me on for A level.
If not, its off to work!
fuck repeating AS's...
i might go back to community college when im 30, it will only be then that i will feel ready for higher learning
Wow, I would never curb my life plans for another person like that. I almost made that mistake and see how it would have basiclly fucked my whole life up.
well my first day of university is starting tomorrow, and its my first year. I'm majoring in kinesiology and health sciences, main focus is either become a physiotherapist or a ergonomist. since i myself have a horrible back i want to help out ppl with the same problems.
kinesiology? whats that? good luck tomorrow
oh its studying the body's movement and the mechanics of the body's motions
good luck, then. fellow back pain sufferer :p
hahaha thanks, it'll be hard work, but atleast ill be surrounded by girls there, since there seems to be alot more girls majoring in it than males
I'm a Junior at a music college studying for an undergraduate BA in music. So far, I've tested out of my principle instrument:banger::finger:, and am in my last term of theory/aural skills/piano. Basically all I've got left is 2 or so years of core classes:sickface:. I havn't decided yet, but I might try to get an easy minor in some sort of business or music production thing. I'll also get a teacher's certificate and probably end up substitute teaching whenver I'm in a tight spot.
im in my sophomore year of high school right now, in a magnet program for digital design (PageMaker, Photoshop, Maya) when I graduate I plan to go to a private college called full-sail which is very costly but im trying to get good grades for a scholarship. I will be going there for 3d modeling/animation (Maya).
hey, ive seen tons of adds for full sail. they do a music program too...music production and engineering. very cool ,youre the first person ive talked to regarding it
It wasn't bad. It's alot of programming! C, C++, some Java. Different schools have different emphasis for their computer science degree. We focused alot on Object Oriented application software development. Ever had any programming experience? Cause it's all about whether you enjoy doing it or not.
Great school! Took a tour of full-sail in Orlando when I was on spring break out there. Their movie editing was kick ass. Game programming was fuckin unreal. Also, they one of two of these types of recording studios in the world. Ha, the chairs we sat in while they spoke about the studio cost $1000. That's the closest 'my ass' will come to $1000.
Remember, Chiropractors are evil. :)
haha whys that?
Because I said so.
The fact that my dad is a physio has nothing to do with my opinion.
I'm dorming at Berklee College of Music in Boston. I plan on majoring in Music Production and Engineering (MP&E). Classes haven't started yet, they start monday or tuesday, i forget actually. It's fucking awesome here though. I didn't think there would be many metalheads here but there's about 6 of us on my floor alone.
ive heard that its very expensive to go there. how much is that costing you? i bet youll be able to catch every metal tour that goes on in the states too...

Boston's Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley has been named as a possible candidate for pope.
When asked about becoming pope, he said, "I don't think that it's anything that I would aspire to."

The cardinal (right) described the papal role as "a very lonely position."
"It's a very diffcult task, but we're there as cardinals to pray and encourage each other, knowing that someone needs to do it and hopefully we will be able to serve what God's will is," he said.
About 200 people attended the Feb. 22 Mass in Braintree at which O'Malley presided.
O'Malley is expected to travel to Rome soon for the conclave.

I don't know whether I want to go to the game at the Verizon Center, watch it on TV, listen to it on the radio or stream the live running stats on espn.com while I watch a movie or do something else.
Slowly but surely, that is exactly the progression of my following this years Washington Wizards. I went all in last year buying season tickets. I held off this year. Boy, am I glad!
I don't know how Monumental Sports, or whatever they are called, can put this product on the floor, much less sell advertising to businesses. It is horrendous.
Why doesn't John Wall look like he is getting better? The best I have seen him play was in the Las Vegas Summer League 2 whole summers ago. All he does is out run players coast to coast to the rim, or at least try too. The biggest reason you know John Wall is not a Superstar is that the Ref's do not give him Superstar Calls. Don't cry foul, because you have not earned it. Who the heck is responsible for coaching him up?
We have a potential great Point Guard and Center. No other team has that combination. JaVale McGee should be tearing up the league by now. He is not just an athletic freak, he is a Super Freak. Are you telling me that in his 4th year he still does not have Kareem Abdul Jabar's Sky hook down yet. It does not even look the same because he starts off so low. Who the heck is responsible for coaching him up?
Don't even get me started on the Shooting Guard, Small Forward and Power Forward positions. That is about the worst handling of these 3 positions by an NBA team. We have a Starting Shooting Guard that no one wants. Nick Young is so cool though. Let's disregard the fact that he does absolutely zero besides shoot the ball. Yes, he will get the occasional all around good game. Be honest to yourself, and ask yourself why not one other of the 29 teams would offer Nick a contract over the $3,.7 million the Wizards offered him. After you figured out your reason, throw it in the trashcan. He is not a Starting Caliber Shooting Guard.
I refuse to get into the Rashard Lewis and Andray Blatche fiasco. It's not even worth discussing.
Is this really the Washington Wizards on the floor?
The worst part is that Ownership Refuses to do anything about it. They are in Full Denial.
What a crying shame. My next progression for following the team: Checking out the final score.

School Briefs – Henrico H.S. Center for the Arts
This month we will begin a series of monthly "spotlights" that will highlight each of the four disciplines here at the Henrico High School Center for the Arts! First, we will be focusing on the Visual Arts department, led by art teachers Mary Scurlock and Genevieve Dowdy.
The Center for the Arts (CFA) opened its doors in 1990, and in 1995, the first class of visual arts students was welcomed to the Center. The program began with a single teacher, Mr. Jeff Hall, and grew exponentially in the space of just a few years, necessitating the hire of a second full-time teacher, Ms. Mary Scurlock. In 2006, Mr. Hall left the Center to become the art teacher at the Maggie Walker Governor's School, and Mrs. Genevieve Dowdy was welcomed to the CFA staff.
The Art Department is housed in the recently-completed, state-of-the-art Lee Hanchey Visual Arts Building. This building contains four fully-equipped classrooms, each with their own sinks, work stations, portfolio storage, and all the amenities that an art student could ever wish for. These classrooms flank a professional gallery space, located in the center of the building, which is home to the Fall and Spring Visual Arts Showcases.
We welcome you to come and experience the Center for yourself as we celebrate the CFA's 20th birthday at the 20th Anniversary Fall Retrospective Showcase on Nov. 19-20! The Visual Arts showcase will be held in the Jeff Hall gallery from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., and the performing arts showcase will follow at 7:30 in the auditorium. These showcases run for two nights only – Friday and Saturday – so make sure you don't miss this opportunity to come out and see all the wonderful talent that the CFA has to offer!

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

People have always tended to find comfort in music, whether they're simply listening to it or writing it themselves, and many people associate a specific song with various events in their lives both happy and sad. Miscarriage is no exception.
Many women find comfort in specific songs after a miscarriage, as I've discovered after years on miscarriage message boards. Sometimes they're specifically about miscarriage, sometimes about getting through difficult experiences, or other times something else completely. Specific songs I've seen mentioned a lot are "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack, "Glory Baby" by Watermark, and Sarah McLachlan's "Angel." But I know there are loads more.
Is there a song (or poem or anything else) that has been especially helpful or meaningful you in the time after your miscarriage? If so, please share by leaving a comment.
- December 13, 2008 at 11:44 am(1) Beryl Kruger says:
Celine Dion's "A new day" and "Immortality"
Hillsong's "All I need is You"

Avril Lavigne's Slipped Away

"Spark", by Tori Amos. Tori Amos had a few miscarriages, and the song talks about that. I love that song.
- December 22, 2008 at 5:20 pm(4) Amanda F. says:
"I wonder"…
I wonder who you were?
I wonder what your personality would have been like?
I wonder if you would have looked like me?
I wonder alot of things…
like why? and WHEN?
But there are some things I don't wonder…because I know.
Like how much I already loved you.
I don't doubt God, not at all.
I just wonder how it would have felt to hold you in my arms…
but it's okay because now I know your in the arms of Someone who
loved you even more.
Life is so short, yours had just begun, not out of the womb yet
but you were already a "someone".
I know God is my strength right now because
without Him I just couldn't go on.
But now I'll take life…new life, at the time of conception-
not for granted!
It's all a true miracle that only God deciedes.
Thank You God for creating a little miracle inside me
and even though it's time was very short…
it was my little miracle nonetheless.
*(This poem was actually written by me-during my loss. It helped me really express my TRUE feelings.)

This poem helped me I have lost 6 pregnancy's two single and two twin and no live birth's so hopefuly it will give you some confort were it fills like there is none.
I thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today
I asked "What makes a Mother?"
And I know I heard Him say.
"A Mother has a baby"
This we know is true
"But God can you be a Mother,
When your baby's not with you?"
"Yes, you can," He replied
With confidence in His voice
"I give many women babies,
When they leave is not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime,
And others for the day.
And some I send to feel your womb,
But there's no need to stay."
"I just don't understand this God
I want my baby to be here."
He took a deep breath and cleared His throat,
And then I saw the tear.
"I wish I could show you,
What your child is doing today.
If you could see your child's smile,
With all the other children and say…
'We go to Earth to learn our lessons,
Of love and life and fear.
My Mommy loved me oh so much,
I got to come strait here.
I feel so lucky to have a Mom,
Who had so much love for me.
I learned my lessons very quickly,
My Mommy set me free.
I miss my Mommy oh so much,
But I visit her every day.
When she goes to sleep,
On her pillow's where I lay
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek,
And whisper in her ear.
Mommy don't be sad today,
I'm your baby and I'm here.'
"So you see my dear sweet ones,
your children are okay.
Your babies are born here in My home,
And this is where they'll stay.
They'll wait for you with Me,
Until your lesson's through.
And on the day that you come home
they'll be at the gates for you.
So now you see what makes a Mother,
It's the feeling in your heart
it's the love you had so much of
Right from the very start
Though some on earth may not realize,
you are a Mother.
Until their time is done.
They'll be up here with Me one day
and know that you are the best one!"

A close call for a group of divers in California who were only a few feet away from being lunch for a pair of humpback whales.The divers were in the ocean near Avila Beach in southern California shooting underwater footage when the whales breach the surface to feed on a school of fish.The divers were able to swim to the boat unharmed.As one might expect from a man who is nearly slurped up by a whale, the original video contains a little profanity. Viewer discretion advised.

Can I receive a Husky Card without a smart chip or can my smart chip be disabled if I am not a U-PASS participant?
No. The University endorses the use of RFID smart chips on campus and inclusion of RFID smart chips within the Husky Card.
The University is unable to disable the smart chip or issue Husky Cards without the smart chip.
What personal information is stored on the smart chip?
No personal information or UW data is stored on the smart chip. Data on the smart chip indicates if you have an active U-PASS powered by ORCA or not, and to process transit transactions.
Can someone else easily read the smart chip in my card?
The smart chip is a passive, short range RFID chip that can only be read at short distances. For more information about what can be read from the chip, click here to view the ORCA Privacy Statement.
Where is my travel data stored?
Travel data is stored in the ORCA databases controlled by the transit agencies. This data is used for billing purposes and does not include personally identifiable information. Information about your most recent transit trips is also included on the smart chip in order to support transfer functions and fare apportionment amongst participating transit agencies. For more information, click here to view the ORCA Privacy Statement.
Will UW be tracking where I use my U-PASS?
No. Commuter Services will be the only office with information on who has a valid U-PASS and will keep this information private in accordance with the UW privacy policy, UW Electronic Information Privacy Policy on Personally Identifiable Information. Commuter Services does not have access to your personally identifiable travel data.

My research
Our serious research on a ridiculous topic has found its way to the the respected academic journals. Me and my colleagues, Dr. Emily Welkins and Dr. Evgeny Lisin, have several articles on supernatural economics published in various prestigious academic journals. Our research demonstrates that (under some conditions) peaceful co-existence of humans and vampires might be possible. For instance, see the following:
Strielkowski, W., Lisin, E. and Welkins, E. (2013), Mathematical models of interactions between species: peaceful co-existence of vampires and humans based on the models derived from fiction, literature and films, Applied Mathematical Sciences, Vol. 7, no. 9-12: 453-470, ISSN 1312-885X
Wadim Strielkowski, Evgeny Lisin, Emily Welkins (2013), Co-Existence of Vampires and Humans Is Possible: Proofs Based on Models Derived from Fiction Literature, Comic Books and Films. Annals of Improbable Research, Vol. 19, No. 1: 11-16, ISSN 1079-5146

I teach a number of courses at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University in Prague:
1) Advanced Economics of European Integration - Microeconomic Aspects (JEM081), a Jean Monnet permanent course developed with the support of the European Commission. The course focuses on economic theory, methods and outcomes of integration between a group of countries (economies of national states). For more information click here.
2) Marketing Strategy Planning (JJB282) demonstrates how marketing strategy and eliciting consumers' preferences can be planned and designed using the applied choice analysis approach.
3) Tourism Marketing (JJB251) course provide students with the theoretical and practical skills necessary for a successful career in a number of sectors within the wider travel and tourism industry. Considerable share of the course will consist of analyzing case studies and practical examples of tourism marketing. Distinguished guests will be invited to present in the course.
