CATEGORIES Tech Stuff, Distribution, DIY/Filmmaking, Newsstand, Home Entertainment, Movie Marketing, Features, Movies, CinematicalLike it or not, the option to download films and TV shows from the internet is here to stay. In fact, if things continue as they are it might not be too long before more "traditional" outlets for films and TV shows -- such as brick and mortar stores or even movie theaters -- are a thing of the past. It's already happened with the music business. Look around and tell me if you can find a Sam Goody or Tower Records in your neighborhood. You can't, and one of the biggest reasons why is due to people downloading music from online stores like iTunes.
However, all is not doom and gloom -- especially for producers of film and television shows like the major studios. If you happen to be a major studio, things look pretty good for you -- unless for some reason you haven't gotten into the online distribution business yet. If you have, this recent Variety article should make you pretty happy. If you haven't, well, it might be time to start -- that is, if you like to make money. According to the article, the next few years will find the online content delivery business exploding with record profits. Revenue in the U.S. alone from legitimate downloads of films and television programs will go from $538 million last year to $6.3 billion by 2012 -- a tenfold increase.
Some of the factors contributing to this dramatic increase are broadband penetration and changing consumer habits. Or, as Adam Thomas, a researcher at Informa, the group which released the revenue projections, puts it: "These trends are now so pronounced that the term 'social revolution' no longer seems too much of an exaggeration. With social change occurring on such a large scale, traditional media companies are being forced to change their behavior and business models to adapt their offering to consumer demand." You hear that traditional media companies? Time to change or get left behind.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) The anger and resentment of an Aries ex are unlikely to disappear very quickly after the breakup. The Aries will have no problem placing the blame on you and may continue to be aggressive and refuse to seek reasonable accommodation to your needs. Your Aries ex's whole attitude will center on what they feel entitled to because of your past mistakes (even if you are not the one who made the mistake). Should you refuse to acknowledge wrongdoing, your Aries ex is unlikely to forgive you or let up in laying on the guilt trips.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20) If a Taurus does the breaking up, then there is a practical reason for doing so, and you can expect a fair and respectful end to the relationship. If you try to challenge a Taurus, regardless of who is ending the relationship, expect a stubborn stance on Taurus' end no matter how strong your reasoning may be. Taurus exes are likely to pile their responsibilities onto you, particularly when children are involved. Even when going through difficult periods financially and emotionally, they can usually be counted on. In the event that they cannot meet a payment on time, they will certainly let you know beforehand. If the breakup or divorce was the Taurus' idea, you may not expect a whole lot more from him/her than what is required by law.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21) For such independent and high-spirited souls, Gemini exes can turn surprisingly loyal, faithful and even dependent once they are no longer involved with you romantically or maritally. It may be strange to see them caring about you more as a friend than a lover, but this astonishing act often proves true. Perhaps it is easier for them to give when not so much is required of them. It will often work better not to put pressure on them after a breakup and to wait to see if their goodwill is forthcoming without requesting it.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22) With Cancers, it is important to know who broke up with whom and whether the breakup was by mutual agreement or without animosity. If it's the latter scenario, there is no real problem. If Cancer exes are the ones who do the leaving, they may be surprisingly easy to deal with since they are not feeling rejected and may even have been empowered by the experience. However, if they are the ones who have been dumped, all kinds of aggressive, negative and hurtful tendencies may surface. Resentment is likely to play a large part here, particularly when they feel they have been rejected through no fault of their own. Their feelings of having been unfairly treated can create negative blocks that last for years against their ex.
Leo (July 23 – August 22) If Leo exes feel well-treated by you, they are likely to be generous and agreeable with you after a clean breakup. If not, they can show a remarkable amount of coldness. In such a situation, Leos will rarely become aggressive or turn vindictive unless they have been severely roughed up. It is usually best to calm a nervous Leo with objective assurances of your positive intent first, and then to behave politely on a personal level, avoiding sarcasm or insults. The Leo ex will often want to move on quickly to the next partner as they struggle with being alone.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22) Virgo exes are not usually very enthusiastic about continuing relationships with their former mates. Too often, they are filled with negative feelings and prefer to simply break cleanly with the past. Good with lawyers and legal issues, they will pursue every avenue to assure they are adequately compensated and cared for in the case of gaining custody of the children. They prefer to keep things very cool and matter-of-fact with their exes, although they can be prone to irritation and anger, particularly when they feel wronged or unfairly treated.
Libra (September 23 – October 22) Libra exes are likely to leave their partners bewildered and confused when initiating a breakup. The Libra ex continues to exert power over those they leave or outright reject, lasting far beyond the time of the breakup. Should a Libra ex be the one rejected, they usually have more advanced recuperative powers, sometimes viewing their past relationship as nothing more than a hiccup in their busy love lives.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21) Scorpio exes are not easy to deal with. They're not opposed to revenging your past actions, particularly if you have thrown insults. As their ex, be prepared to be tested. You will have to decide whether to wait things out defensively or to meet their attack with a counterattack, but either way, be prepared to form a strategy in conjunction with your family, lawyer or friends. Scorpio individuals can also play mind games with their exes to sway them into behaving in a manner that it is to their advantage.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 20) Generally pretty cool emotionally, Sagittarius exes are unlikely to indulge in open displays of feelings as long as animosities do not surface. They prefer to remain objective about the current situation, neither feeling sentimental about the past nor being overly hopeful about the future. Although they are not averse to discussions, they will discourage emotional dependencies by keeping such interactions few, short and if not sweet, at least polite. Sagittarius exes believe that if both parties can show goodwill and cordiality, they stand a chance of working things out to be on friendly terms with one another.
Capricorn (December 21 – January 19) Capricorn exes will usually adopt a responsible attitude toward their partners, which can last for years after the breakup. It is not at all unusual for Capricorns to take a continued interest in their ex, demonstrating caring and concern without any awakening of romantic interest or passion. Capricorn exes are particularly sensitive to the criticism of family members and mutual friends, causing them to act in a proper, mature manner. Likewise, Capricorn exes will insist that their former partners treat them properly and with respect. They can be very unforgiving of others, especially those they shared a deep friendship and romance with, if they believe they are being insulted or ignored.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 19) Do not be surprised if Aquarius exes do not show a great interest in you or your feelings. Chances are they have moved on to someone else, which will either produce a sigh of relief or extreme pain depending on your own feelings. After the breakup, they may not show much recognition of you, and if they appear to be detached, it's because they are. Aquarius signs are prone to treat their exes as if they no longer exist, thus making any sort of future relationship or friendship with them difficult. With most Aquarius exes, once it is over, it is over.
Pisces (February 20 – March 20) It may take a while on their end to nurse their bruised feelings, but once Pisces exes are truly over you, they will generally not return or even attempt to make contact. The period between the initial breakup and this point of no return can be trying for both parties involved. The Pisces is the symbol of two fish swimming around in different directions, very reflective of this sign's personality. Pisces have great difficulty making up their minds as they are easily influenced by others. Pisces exes can have a very destabilizing effect on one's life. Though their uncertainty is real, they are generally not vindictive, and it's not usually a tactic they bestow upon their ex.

Eighth Circuit Finds That Two Nearly Simultaneous Drug Sales Are One Offense for Sentencing Purposes
In United States v. Willoughby, 653 F.3d 738 (8th. Cir. 2011), Defendant Willoughby appealed from the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri, which designated him an armed career criminal under the Armed Career Criminals Act (ACCA), 18 U.S.C.S. § 924(e) and sentenced him to the ACCA's mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years' imprisonment.
The presentence report (PSR) prepared in advance of Willoughby's sentencing recommended that defendant be classified as an armed career criminal, pursuant to the ACCA. Defendant objected to this finding by the PSR, specifically challenging whether his selling marijuana to two different people during one drug deal constituted two offenses that were committed on different occasions as the ACCA required. Reversing, the court rejected the government's argument that defendant's sale to an undercover officer and, seconds later, to a confidential informant, constituted "separate and distinct criminal episodes," instead finding that the sale was, in actuality, one continuous course of conduct.
The court noted that it had never held two convictions to be sufficiently separate and distinct to serve as predicate ACCA convictions where those convictions were for drug offenses that the defendant committed, in essence, simultaneously. The insignificant disparity between the amounts of marijuana that the officer and the confidential informant purchased was insufficient to demonstrate a substantive discontinuity. The court reversed and remanded for resentencing.

Itaú BBA
Deals were put off indefinitely, pulled on the night of
pricing, or priced below their target ranges. Nearly shares
traded down after issues as international investors turned
their backs on the local Brazilian growth stories that had
previously fueled the IPO market.
Continued uncertainty for 2012 loomed in December, with the
European debt situation still unresolved and risk aversion
still high.
No ECM shop in the region was immune to these events.
However, some deals were labeled successful in a relative
sense, and Itaú's investment banking unit had a hand in
quite a few of them.

New Cottageville Park features such as a green roof pavilion and remade landscape could push the redesign cost up to $5.8 million, according to a draft master plan that a consultant presented to the City Council on Tuesday.
The Cuningham Group has been putting together the plan since the city hired the Minneapolis-based firm in June to come up with ideas on how to use the newly enlarged park.
It's unlikely the city will be able to afford all the improvements in the plan at once, but early in the project a Cuningham landscape architect promised that "each phase of the project should look complete, intentional and fully functional."
Consequently, Cuningham offered three levels of park improvements:
- A "basic park" ($2.4 million): Demolishing the existing buildings, stormwater management, a redesigned alley, pathways within the park, relocation of the basketball court, a canoe launch, a pavilion and other improvements that create a baseline park and build the framework for future improvements.
- A "signature park" ($3.3 million): The same as above but with a creek crossing, lookout box, pavilion plaza space, pavilion restrooms and storage, a picnic and seating area and plantings in the alley.
- An "awesome park!" ($5.8 million): The same as the two options above plus a play area for 2- to 5-year-olds, an "adventure" play area for 5- to 12-year-olds, enhanced entrances to the park, an interpretive walk to the creek, an amphitheater/learning space near the creek, a "green roof pavilion" that allows play both on top and beneath it, more public art and an enhanced creek crossing.
The plan is about more than just the individual amenities. It would radically change Cottageville Park's topography.
- Dirt and sod mounds would break up the park's existing flat plane. Park visitors would be able to walk on top of a green roof pavilion that is as much a hill as a park structure.
- By the basketball court, the adventure play area would have integrated seating for the basketball court and a slide going down the mound that seating area is built into.
- Ponds would be added as part of a system to clean water before it enters the creek.
The process of changing the park's look actually began in April 2011, when Minnehaha Creek Watershed District tore down buildings on properties south of Cottageville that will now be part of the park. Hopkins lauded the demolition because it cleared obstacles that allowed criminal activity to occur out of sight.
Cuningham said the new Cottageville landscape would not prevent people from seeing into the park. Instead, it would invite them in. Park entrances could have entrance monuments, interpretive elements, enhanced plantings and plaza paving.
That invitation continues inside the park. Minnehaha Creek elements encourage visitors to venture down to the water. Stepping stones—with spaces for canoes and kayaks to pass through—would allow people to cross right at the creek.
The goal is to transform a 1.3-acre neighborhood park into a four-acre amenity that will attract a regional audience—particularly coupled with the proposed Southwest Light Rail Transit station and a redeveloped Cold Storage site just south of the park on Blake Road.
"We've got to develop it as a community asset, not just a neighborhood asset," Mayor Gene Maxwell said.
The proposal's price caused some "sticker shock" among the council, as Councilwoman Molly Cummings said.
That doesn't mean Hopkins would need to put up $5.8 million. As mentioned earlier, it could phase in improvements over time. Planners also intend to find grants and work with partners like the Three Rivers Park District and Hennepin County to bring in money from other sources.
"It's a lot of different sources of funding as we go forward," City Engineer John Bradford said.
Overall, the project drew praise for its ambitious scope. Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Planner James Wisker said the plan did a good job of meeting both water quality goals and recreation desires.
"I think these guys kind of found the right balance," he said.
Ann Beuch, a community organizer with the Blake Road Corridor Collaborative, called it "an exciting plan," while Kersten Elverum, Hopkins' director of economic development and planning, said it could be "a legacy for generations to come."
Hopkins Community Development Coordinator Tara Beard had even more effusive praise: "I think it's just going to blow people out of the water that they can have this piece of nature—this piece of peace and tranquility—right outside their front door."
Master Plan Open House
The public is invited to view The Cuningham Group's plan at an open house from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Dec. 18 at City Hall. Cuningham group will make a presentation about the plan at the City Council meeting right afterward. City staff will then start putting together a schedule and a funding plan to implement park improvements.

CSAC Issues Statement Regarding Governor's Budget Proposal
Medicaid Expansion at the forefront of discussions with Counties
Counties are pleased that the Governor is continuing California's national leadership in implementing the Affordable Care Act. The Medicaid expansion is crucial to ensuring low-income Californians have health insurance. The budget also reflects the Governor's confidence in county government to deliver many of the vital services relied on by millions of Californians. Counties recognize that a number of short- and long-term questions about health reform remain unanswered and the uncertainty makes implementation challenging. These proposals carry risks for counties, too. Counties want to be sure that all options for Medicaid expansion are discussed and that the critical role of counties in delivering health services, including hospital and safety net services, is maintained.

The Moon Area School District has joined the Montour School District in cancelling school on Tuesday due to the Hurricane Sandy storm moving in from the East Coast.
All Tuesday classes and Monday-evening events in the districts have been cancelled "due to possible power outages and the difficulty or inability to communicate with our school community," according to an announcement from district officials.
The Moon Area School District still plans to go forward with its board meeting at 7 p.m. Monday, said district spokeswoman Megan Edwards.
Heavy winds and flooding are expected in the next 24 hours as the late-season Hurricane Sandy moves west from the eastern seaboard, according to the National Weather Service.

Now you'll get to meet the man behind it.
Mexico City (CNN) -- Workers were injured in an explosion at the administrative offices of Mexico's state-run Pemex oil company in the country's capital Thursday, state media reported.
At least 30 people were trapped in the building after the blast, CNN affiliate Foro TV reported.
Citing local authorities, Foro TV said five people were killed, and 75 people were injured. But Eduardo Sanchez, a federal official, told Milenio TV that authorities had not released a specific injury count. CNN has not independently confirmed details about casualties from the explosion.
The blast prompted an evacuation of personnel from the Pemex offices, a company spokesman told Notimex.
A large plume of smoke rose near the office tower after the explosion.
Images from the scene showed emergency rescue teams carrying people on stretchers.
It was unclear how many people were injured or what caused the explosion, Pemex spokesman Francisco Montano told Notimex.
"There are injured and significant damage," he said, according to Notimex.

Southampton starlet Andy Robinson in Bolton Wanderers squad for Wigan Athletic derby
6:10am Saturday 29th March 2014 in Sport By Marc Iles
WANDERERS fans may get a fleeting glimpse of new signing Andy Robinson today – but Dougie Freedman is promising they will see plenty more of him in the future.
The Southampton midfielder was picked up on loan for the rest of the season, after which it is believed he will sign on a permanent deal from St Mary's.
Robinson is pencilled in to make the bench against Wigan Athletic today but is, assures Freedman, capable of stepping in right away at first team level as a midfield alternative to Jay Spearing or Medo Kamara.
"He'll be straight into the squad," he said. "I think it's a fantastic little bit of business for us, I really do. His pedigree is unbelievable, he just needs an opportunity.
"Southampton are just in a different position than us right now and players have got to be at a certain level to break into their first team. If they think he's not at the level to play first team then they will let him go elsewhere.
"I jumped in there and hopefully he'll get an opportunity over the coming weeks.
"I know the full story with the kid. He was very close to getting in there at one point but when they got into the Premier League they went and bought Victor Wanayama for £12million and emergence of a few others has meant he went down in the pack a little bit.
"But he's certainly a very good football player and to get him on loan, for now, is good."

Australia and NSA Gain Comprehensive Access To Indonesian Phone System 133
from the welcome-to-the-club dept.
Seriously. These are spy organizations. And here they are - spying. On foreign countries, no less. What were they thinking?
The Snowden leaks started out with things the public actually needed to know. The NSA spying on Americans is a gross overstep of the organization's charter. Spying on friendly nation's leaders is an embarrassment. This, however, seems to me like them doing their job.
At first, I thought that labeling Snowden as a spy was an overreaction. The US government trying to silence a whistle blower. However, were I a juror in a trial in which he released just this document, I'd convict.
Anyone who disagrees is kindly requested to answer two simple questions:
1. What should the NSA do?
2. Assuming this is not this, how can a country maintain military intelligence without doing this?

"Being a writer is like being stuck in a leaky rowboat tossed about in a tumultuous sea of poverty, rejection and isolation. But I still love writing." – Arthur Nersesian
The question 'why do you write' may seem simple but coming up with an answer isn't always that easy.
After taking a slight detour into the land of excess cynicism the other week (probably from spending too much time in the snark polluted waters of the internet, although my excuses and reasons are indeed my own) I decided to obtain some advice and perhaps inspiration from a variety of writers by asking them one question – why do you write?
The writers who took the time to give me an answer were Arthur Nersesian, Julian Gallo, Bill Friday, Loren Kleinman, Hunter S. Jones and Dean Walker, all of them excellent writers, novelists and poets who are the embodiment of the word 'inspirational'.

Interro-Gator: Five questions with Patric Young
Published: Thursday, January 16, 2014 at 4:37 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 16, 2014 at 4:37 p.m.
Q: Usually a player has to be gone to have his own night. What did it mean to have Patric Young beard night at the O'Connell Center (Tuesday night against Georgia)?
A: It was pretty cool. When I first walked out there, I just saw a million beards out there. Even though my beard is not really that long, my mom would kill me if my beard was that long, but it was really cool just to have a fanbase that was willing to go the extra mile.
Q: What went into growing the beard this season?
A: I told myself I wasn't going to cut it until (NBA) draft day. It was longer than this, but my mom, I was vulnerable and she cut it. She snipped it when I wasn't looking. Since she did, I had to trim it down a little bit.
Q: What does it mean to be part of a team that set a school record with 25 straight home wins?
A: It's cool to be a part of that and on top of something like that.When I look back at it, when I'm done here, when you look back at all the things we've accomplished, we can top it with a NCAA Championship and a Final Four and all that good stuff. Just having that record is great for the school. Hopefully it can stand for another 100 years or however long (Florida coach Billy Donovan) is around.
Q: You interned as a sports reporter with a TV station (WJXT in Jacksonville) over the summer. What was that experience like?
A: It was cool working with Sam Kouvaris and Mike Kelly. They taught me a lot. It was cool watching a lot of golf, too. It was during the TPC Sawgrass, and I got to see Tiger (Woods), which was cool. So I did learn a lot from it, and Sam was a great teacher so I was very fortunate.
Q: Does it give you more appreciation for reporters, seeing it from the other side, asking questions instead of having questions asked to you?
A: Definitely, because Sam has been doing it for so long and he had me come on the show, and he doesn't even use a script at all when he does his stuff. So it's really impressive how good he is at what he does.

State troopers dispatched to the Norwalk Courthouse Sunday night found a person had entered the building through a broken window, but apparently nothing was taken.
An alarm was received from the building at approximately 10:56 p.m.
The courthouse at 17 Belden Ave. houses state Superior Court in Norwalk, which is why state troopers conducted the investigation.
In a news release, Sgt. Donna Tadiello said an individual was observed running from the area, but an extensive search failed to locate the suspect.
All leads are being followed to apprehend this person, Tadiello said.
She said items of an evidentiary value were located inside the building, and an active investigation is being conducted by the Connecticut State Police Western District Major Crime Unit.
Anyone with information is asked to call Troop G in Bridgeport at (203) 696-2500.

Miranda Lambert has learned something about human nature since becoming one of country music's most identifiable stars.
"People are very, very mean," she says of the tabloids that have made sport of her life, her looks and her marriage since her husband, Blake Shelton, joined NBC's musical competition The Voice as a celebrity coach.
Lambert's wild ride over the last two years is all over her ambitious, sprawling new album, Platinum. The 30-year-old lays bare her life in many ways on songs that examine the darker aspects of celebrity, and she shows the tabloids have been getting everything wrong.
"There are people who, literally, their only job is to make other people miserable, and that's a terrible way to live your life," said Lambert, the top nominee at Wednesday's CMT Music Awards (8 p.m. on CMT or at CMT.com). She also has a starring spot at the CMA Music Festival in Nashville, which begins Thursday.
Lambert's multifaceted musical reaction to the gossip press helps make Platinum her most diverse album yet. It heads in many directions musically, from the rock 'n' roll of Priscilla, Girls and Little Red Wagon to the singer-songwriter self-reflection of Bathroom Sink and Hard Staying Sober.
Priscilla takes on the tabloids directly. In the song, Lambert identifies with Priscilla Presley and the troubles she must have experienced in her life with Elvis.
Lambert is learning to live with all the attention. Her new trim look is a result of getting control of her emotions, she says, and not some darker reason. She simply no longer turns to corn dogs for solace when she reads an upsetting headline.
Tabloids aren't the only topic on Platinum. There is plenty of joy and sass. She examines her love of flea markets and her hatred of getting older on songs with titles that can't be reprinted; and teams up with Carrie Underwood for the powerhouse anthem Somethin' Bad.
In the end, the album is as overstuffed as her life.
"Loretta Lynn said you've got to live a life in order to sing about it," Lambert said. "That's what I'm doing. The good, the bad and the ugly is on this record. It's who I am."

Posted by Catherine Kallon on May 22nd, 2009 In: Best Dressed Of The Week
Posted by Catherine Kallon on May 22nd, 2009 In: Best Dressed Of The Week
Ugh, i'm pissed, because Angelina Jolie deserved to be in this list. I think she looked so gorgeous!
…but she is not in the list, so my pick is – Diane Kruger
I would have to go with Rachel.
The green looks so strikingly perfect against her skin, the hair is perfect, and I love her accessories.
I love Diane too, but, I think it's the white which I've seen her in so often that makes me go with Rachel, because it just makes her pop out of the list of girls.
And Iman and Michelle tied for third in my opinion, definitely loving the green on the red carpet this year.
I agree, Angelina should have been on instead of Monica, and I'm surprised you put on Jessica without Blake, because that blue playsuit was perfect on her.
To me it was between Diane and Hilary -both awesome- but the Armani Prive finally got my vote!!
pd.- i discovered your site recently and now i'm a total addict!! it's great!! congrats!!
I thought Jessica Stroup looked absolutely stunning in that Brian Reyes spaghetti strap dress.
yay i can see the new website! it looks more professional
OMG the new layout is so cool! i love it, looks wonderful FC!
Rachel Weisz got my vote, but i admit it was a hard decision between her and Diane…!
btw i was just wondering around netaporter and i fell in love with that blue dress from Preen you've got in your favourites right now!
I'm starting to notice the changes, FC! I'm loving it already! My only prblem is I have to navigate away from the homepage to get to the comments. That's minor though!! Plus, it's not hosted by blogspot anymore, right? So that's expected! I LOVE IT!!!!
Have to go with my girl Diane.
EWWW. donatella?! i dont think so.
much better this week than her.
p.s. not loving the new site but good job for trying something new. it's a little more confusing than the old one. i guess i stand by the idea "if it's not broke, don't fix it?"
thanks for the posts
I love the new site! I think I may be up all night just running through. so many new features to explore. *clapping hand in glee* love, love, love!
Love the new look!!!
Coooool!!! The new look is very clean and chic!
Love it!
wohoo love the new site, the layout rocks and it runs even faster ;D
voted for diane<3
WOW! The site just changed, and I love it already.
First: on topic – Rachel stole my heart (tho Jess Stroup must be my fav youngster atm) (not that anyone cares)
And now kinda off-topic
Just yesterday (seriously!) I was thinking, *lesigh* I'm so glad FC sticks to her site design and hasen't relaunched yet – I dunno if I could take it
So like 3 minutes ago I was like 'Noooooooooooo – change! argh! it's too dark!Noooooooooooooo!'
but it settled pretty fast and I LOVE the 'new' sections!
I CAN'T WAIT to use it and annoy the hell outta you with my wishes
I hope it makes work for you a lil easier instead of more complicated
How long have u been working on this and sceming?
So in a nutshell: KUDOS, good work, I like it =)
grosses bises pour FC
Great change to site (: Love it. Oh man, it is going to be hard to choose. They look so beautiful.
Dita von Teese was the best dressed of the week. Why? Because, although these gowns are all gorgeous, she's the only one who has been brave enough to wear the sheer trend almost as worn on the runway. Wow!
Rachel Weisz, definitely! The gown is gorgeous, with a great colour and she looked beautiful!
My other choices would be Diane Kruger, Penelope Cruz and Donatella Versace.
very very hard. i would have put Blake in there and taken out Swank (dont like her dress at all)
Rachel, Penelope and Diane are my three favs!
I picked Rachel because she really wowed be after that horrible disater at the Costume insitute. I expect Penelope and Diane to look amazing but Rachel's hair to makeup really were 180 plus that green colour is divine.
I like shu qi in valentino very delicate.
Love your site, new or old. Love Rachel and you are correct, she deserved this week for stepping out of her old frumpy self and showing us real Wow factor. Can't believe you showed pity on Paula though, just because she didn't look ridiculous for a change, and left out marion!
Angelina did look sweet, but that was not a dress, that was the last of the 7 veils. Oh God Brad, I dreamed I went to Cannes and I was naked!!!
thanks for wonderful research and comments.

CATEGORIES Horror, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Casting, New Releases, Remakes and Sequels, Movies, New Releases, CinematicalWe haven't heard much about Ridley Scott's Alien prequel lately, but things definitely picked up over the last few days. The director spent some time talking about the film with The Independent recently, and then Gemma Arterton revealed that the filmmaker wants to meet with her about appearing in the film too (though her publicist has denied that to MTV). It's like an Alien bonanza all of the sudden!
Arterton, speaking to England's Sunday Times, revealed that the director wants to talk with her about starring in the film. Arterton says, "Ridley Scott saw Alice Creed and loved it. He wants me to meet for Aliens: The Remake, or something." Way to sound excited.
Scott's news was far more detailed, but somewhat troubling. He tells The Independent, "The film will be really tough, really nasty ... It's the dark side of the moon. We are talking about gods and engineers. Engineers of space. And were the aliens designed as a form of biological warfare? Or biology that would go in and clean up a planet?"
Hit the jump to read more about Scott's new concept for the prequel.
Really, Ridley? The aliens were designed as a form of biological warfare or as "planet cleaners?" Color me way less excited. In theory, this all ties back to the "Space Jockey," the huge corpse The Nostromo's crew discovers on LV-426. There's always been a huge amount of speculation about who this person was and Scott's always hinted that he feels like there's a story in it. We may be getting that story in the prequel.
I'm not opposed to exploring the origins of the Space Jockey -- I'm more upset by the idea that the Xenomorphs are some kind of crafted biological weapon. Why would Scott want to go in that direction? What's wrong with the aliens just being some form of predatory extra-terrestrial life? Coming up with some kind of elaborate backstory for these monsters runs the risk of ruining what makes them so captivating and terrifying in the first place. They're monsters -- what more do we really need to know? None of this will make them scarier. Honestly, this is such a boring and predictable idea that I'm shocked Scott would mention it in an interview in the first place.
Granted, you can't judge a movie based on a few sentences -- but do you find the idea of the Xenomorphs being some kind of lab creation run amok interesting? Can you see Arterton in the lead role? Chime in below.

Twitter apologises for accidentally resetting passwords
Twitter admitted it accidentally reset the passwords of some users as part of a security check-up earlier today.
The company said it was responding to a huge phishing attack on users on Wednesday night, but unintentionally changed the passwords of thousands more users than were affected.
Victims of the phishing attack included technology site Techcrunch, which has 2.5 million followers, and tweeted a link which could have drawn more people in.
We are good now, but please don't click the "$250 tweet" links as we were hacked. http://t.co/DZJKmvcZ
Thousands of users of the micro-blogging site received an email warning their accounts had been hacked, and were asked to changed their passwords. The email said:
Twitter believes that your account may have been compromised by a website or service not associated with Twitter.
We've reset your password to prevent others from accessing your account.
Concerned tweeters, including comedian David Mitchell, warned followers they may have been hacked, but could not find any evidence.
Got an e-mail from twitter telling me that my password had to be changed because they thought my account had been hacked. (cont.)
So I've changed it, but the only evidence of hacking I can find is that my tweet about my Observer column last Sun has disappeared. Weird.
This prompted numerous users to fear the email from Twitter was a phishing email, and many tweeters said they ignored it.
Twitter cleared up the mix-up by confirming in a blog post it had unintentionally reset passwords in a much larger number of accounts than was intended:
In instances when we believe an account may have been compromised, we reset the password and send an email letting the account owner know this has happened along with information about creating a new password. This is a routine part of our processes to protect our users.
In this case, we unintentionally reset passwords of a larger number of accounts, beyond those that we believed to have been compromised. We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused.

Pitch 1: Trend up the face, pull the right facing corner, belay. Pitch 2: Pull the large roof right of the belay (crux); traverse up and right to a small ledge and belay. Pitch 3: Continue up and right to the top. Walk off
Starts under a right-facing corner, right of Star Trekin'.
Well protected.
Beware of the potential for a rope slicing pendulum if the second falls in the crux.
Awesome. It is a three move wonder, but lovely rock and a wonderful location. Great photo op.
To prevent the pendulum, stand up above the crux, place gear (small) out left directly over the crux piece.
Can be done as one pitch.
Many years ago (1996?) Greg Martin and myself climbed the last pitch straight up from the belay after the roof move rather than following the right angling crack. We called it the "Danger Will Robinson" pitch. Not sure if we did it 1st or not. The climbing was like 5.9 or 5.10 and an excellent finish for Lost in Space. Steep and pumpy, good gear but maybe a little spaced out. I thought this was way better and longer than the regular finish.
Most Radical!! Every pitch is quality climbing with fun moves on quality stone! The second pitch crux (the Roof) is fit for its name, it will have you boggled and lost in space for sure, protects below (decent) and during the middle of the sequence (well, .5-.75BD) so make sure to prepare yourself if you want to stitch it! Last pitch is super fun and exposed as well, easy climbing though. A Must do for the Area! The exposure is Gnarly!!!!
If you are worried about the follower it's a good idea to set a belay about 30' past the crux. There's a good stance, and it allows for better communication and visibility, as well as less rope stretch.

The Green Bay Packers lost right tackle Derek Sherrod to what looks like a serious leg injury. Sherrod was injured as Kansas City Chiefs outside lineback Tamba Hali came around the edge. Hali was spun into Sherrod's leg, sending the Packers' right tackle to the ground.
The training staff brought out an air cast and put it on Sherrod's leg before carting him off of the field.
The loss leaves the Packers perilously thin at offensive tackle. Sherrod was in the game to replace starting right tackle Bryan Bulaga, who left the game with a knee injury in the first half.
Sherrod was the Packers' first-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. Green Bay memorably won the Super Bowl last season after dealing with offensive line injuries all year, including among the offensive tackles who were hit especially hard.
Kansas City is holding onto an 19-7 lead with just under five minutes to play.

Pomeranz discussing why he had eleventy billions walks against LSU last week and began his appearance in Starkville out of rhythm:
"I was just doing something with the ball in my glove (before he threw each pitch). It was throwing my rhythm off just a hair. I wasn't keeping the ball in my glove (right before he delivered a pitch), which was causing my arm to drag just a bit. Once I kept everything still, it made everything click back into rhythm. I knew it was something stupid like that. I laughed at myself about it."
It's amazing how thin the line is that can determine whether a guy on the mound looks like Corky Thatcher or a projected top 10 draft pick.
The whole "Omaha" thing notwithstanding, the above is the reason I try not to allow myself to get too worked up when we lose a game. Baseball is one fucked up sport.

Made my first trip to Packs and Dogs recently after a couple of... colorful phone conversations with the staff.
Atmosphere - Nice little eat in place. Good bar space, decent amount of tables. My first occurred just after their major renovation so unfortunately I never saw the old space people speak of.
Quality - Food was tasty except for the cheap, bagged shredded cheese they use on the dogs that looks and tastes plastic. Come on now, a quality natural casing dog and then you throw that plastic cheese on there? I know it's cheaper, but that killed it a bit.
Service - My tip was premeditated by Packs posting on Facebook that they had received in a pretty rare brew that I wanted to get my hands on. This is a GREAT service, by the way. Follow them on Facebook and they post each time they get something new in. Initially, after seeing the message on Facebook, I called to confirm they did in fact have it. Had a very strange conversation with someone who, after asking several people, said they did NOT have it. Come to find out when I visited that they did and the person who answered (and apparently the ones asked) didn't know what they were talking about.
Selection - Limited taps, but the bottle selection is large and versatile. Individual bottles and mix and match sixers available for a reasonable price.
Food - See above under "quality"
Value - Prices are reasonable and average for the area. No complaints.

Straight no frills establishment with a none to serious feel. Get a sixer or a few bottles, some natural casing dogs, stay or be out. Don't mind there aren't many brews on tap, but enjoy in the variety of bottles ever changing that are available.

$14.75 for a bottle of Enjoy By to go. $14.75.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that visiting this shop has probably been the final push for my consideration in leaving Pittsburgh. The price of beer in the Pittsburgh area is more than San Francisco and NYC. And I'm over it.
My observations of the place: Clean on the inside, but frankly a bit bland. Everyone there looked about 3 months past their 21st birthday. Some of them about 3 years shy. Not my scene. If you know the Mt. Washington area, you'll know what you're getting into. Long line of coolers is clearly lit and cleanly organized. Prices posted for most, from what I gathered.
This very well may be the last new place I visit in Pittsburgh.

So head's up: I'm reviewing this in October 2012 and Packs and Dogs has only just finished a major renovation this month! I liked this place a lot before but if you've been before, it's a lot different now on the inside. The menu and quality beer are the same though, but it's much more of a "bar" now than it was.
The atmosphere of this place was kind of "quality disguised as dive" before, but now they've removed the dive disguise. It's a nice place inside, good bar seating, a few big screens for sports and otherwise light on staff but staff is quite friendly and knowledgeable.
You order at the counter still, which is fine, and then they call you to come get it. No problem.
Food wise, it's basically hot dogs. See the name. They have burgers too and good fries, and the dogs vary in types and toppings, pretty much everything you can think to put on a dog. The dogs are the best in town, except maybe for D's which is a good distance away.
The beer choice is pretty small on tap (only 6 or so) but rotates regularly. Bottles, on the other hand, range in the hundreds and also regularly rotate to include seasonals and rare pickups. There's bargain stuff and pricey stuff and everything in between.
Can't beat the price, the dogs are cheap and the beer is fair. I love this place and I go a couple times a month without fail.

Listen up these folks know beer, the owner I spoke with seemed equally excited about the Mission beers that they have been getting in on a regular basis. They had about every variety of Mission that's available in the bottles, plus a slew of other PA and other micro favorites. Coolers line the whole side of the back left hand portion of this exceptional beer bar on Mount Washington, c'mon we've all found ourselves on Mount Washington with our lady friends posing in some cheesy pics with the Burgh lit up in the background, while putting ourselves through this Pittsburgh rite of passage we might as well eat some lesser fare meaning great hotdogs, burgers, and fries and drink world class ales and lagers in the process of it all. There are some well known restaurants on Mt. Washington Monterey Bay, the Tin Angel, and the Georgetown Inn, etc. That's what makes this place so ballsy, it's in a slice of Pittsburgh that is traditionally upscale, yet has kept it real in regards to high quality beer, a couple sofas, flat screens, and a diner style seating facing their flat top grill that they cook on. Every city deserves ample tube shaped meats this is just one place offering such a variety, and they appeared to do it well.

Visiting a friend in Mt. Washington area and he took me here. Some tables outside and a lounge area inside. In the back is a food counter with seats and some glass cases of beer.
Good selection of PA brews and some gems. They also have some decent taps and will fill growlers. I had a hot dog - the closest to a Chicago-dog.
All in all a good stop for mix-6ers and bombers. Some of my haul: NC Whales Tale; 21st A Monk's Blood & Hell or High Watermelon Wheat; Yards General Wash & T. Jefferson; Knot Stock - Furthermore; Lancaster Milk Stout; Oskar Blues Deviant Dales; DFH Urkontinent; Blue Point Hoptical Illusion; Full Pint Chinookie IPA; Terrapin Hopsecutioner; Mission Dark Seas RIS.

A- The Atmosphere was nice. Had a diner feel and look with about 10 or so Sliding glass cases full of beer and wine on te left wall. Had the counter and kitchen on the right wall and a few tables as u walk in
Q- Quality was good. Didn't see anything past its "best by" date
Ser-Service was lacking alittle bit. They asked if they could help me wth anything once. I said well im from Indiana. im looking for beers i don't get there. the employe said "ok well we have lots of brews im sure you can find some not in ur state" Wished he would of been alittle more help but he was still nice.
Sel- out of the 10 sliding cases of beer. about 6 were of craft beer. Had alot of brews no in my area so i was pleased of the selection
F- didn't eat any
V- Prices seemed very reasonable so i was happy
Overall-this was a nice little stop to pick up 2 random 6 packs of local PN beer. would go to again, if i ever travel to that state again.

Can't really add much that others haven't already said. It's a dog and pack shop and has a nice lounge type area and a old restaurant style bar you can eat at. I didn't get any of the food, but I'd be willing to try it out some time.
The selection seemed pretty good, but two of the beers that I picked up were beyond their "best by" date. Partly me being careless, but one was a month and a half past. If that's the kind of thing you're a stickler for, be sure to check the bottles.
Given that the prices were reasonable and and there was a wide selection I'd go back again to try the food and pick up some more beer, I would just be sure to check for freshness dates.

If you're in the Mt. Washington area this is definitely a place to stop. It's a hot dog and bottle shop. The food is good, but obviously the beer is better.
During the warmer weather, there is outdoor seating (only two tables, nothing huge) right in front of the shop. You enter the shop into a seating area, on the left side are lounge seats, on the right wall there are booths. Walk past that and there is a decent sized cooler selection on the left wall and a counter on the right with bar stool seating. Very laid back environment, but the setup can get somewhat congested on busy days/nights due to the coolers being right across from the cash register. But, not a real problem.
The coolers are arranged very straight forwardly by price and then in said price ranges, by brewer. (ex. all Great Lakes that are $2.25 are all right next to each other.) This makes it very easy to locate any specific brews you're looking for.
Lowest priced singles are $2.25 plus tax, which is comparable to other shops in the area, but still a bit pricey in my book. On average, it seems as though Pittsburgh prices are $2 more than Ohio prices. So, I can't fault this shop for the pricing because of it's area.
The selection is large, but at times doesn't change for a long while. Nemesis '09 was on the shelf for months and at $7 a bottle. This place does get some rare beers in, but at times has completely missed the boat on other releases that it should probably get in (ex. Stone IRS, SSR, and 14th didn't come in there.)
The service is good and the people that work there are friendly. Most of the employees could use some beer knowledge though; if I have questions about certain beers, they usually don't have answers (thankfully phones have the internet on them now!) But, as I said, they're good friendly people overall.
Overall I really like this place and it's close. My one main issue that I've come across is that special requests never seem to be filled.
Edit 10/05/10 - The installed 8 taps with some pretty good stuff on it.

Ouch. Many conservatives on Twitter reacted to Soledad's ratings woes with a bit of celebration. Many of them consider her liberally biased especially in the wake of how she covered a recently discovered video of President Obama and radical professor Derrick Bell.

#1 open windows help & support and look for 'command' or 'command reference'. I don't remember if you can do a message box from a batch file, but there is a pause command that waits for a keystroke. As an alternative look into using scripting such as vbscript or powershell scripts.
#2 When you set up your task there is a place to provide logon credentials that the task will run under. Most likely you haven't set the proper logon for the task to run without a user logging on the computer.
#3 maybe see #2Doug G

Hi Doug G,
Thank you for the response, however i have all issues as is. I have already tried all the help. Any specific commands to get the above psuedocode would be great. By the way i am sorry if could not convey clearly I am not after making a message box from batch file. I want a commands to handle a message box with Ok button by pressing entering "Enter" command. As mentioned in the Psuedocode.
Pause until dialog box, if Dialog box send "enter" command and log the activity by comparing the date stamp and proceed with further instructions. Please can someone help me.
