Rated 5 out of 5 by elliebelle love uppababy's thoughtful designs for me form matters just as much as function so i love that uppababy's designs are always aesthetically pleasing and utilitarian, reliable, and well-designed. i got the uppababy vista for my first baby with the idea that it would be useful for two young kids since our goal is to hopefully have another child before our first one is 3. my original plan was only to get the rumble seat but after seeing others using the piggyback and because our first child is super active and usually dislikes being strapped in and confined, i think the piggyback will actually be the more popular spot for her once she has a younger sibling! i went ahead and got the piggyback early because we sometimes hang out with family friends who have older kids and i thought it would be a nice option to have around just in case. we haven't used it yet but i did try putting it on the stroller to see how it works and i love that it goes on so easily and yet is incredibly strong/sturdy. i especially love that it folds up when it's not in use and overall is a cute extra little piece that does not detract from the overall clean and modern lines of the stroller. i can't wait to be able to use it as i have already seen many other toddlers and bigger kids around the city enjoying theirs!

Rated 5 out of 5 by VanessaP Extra Passenger? All aboard! Another great Uppababy invention! So easy to snap into place once the brackets are screwed on the stroller frame. The Piggyback has a non-slip strip on the surface, so even if your kid is splashing in puddles, their feet won't slide around. The Piggyback isn't so long that you really have to adjust your steps to accommodate (like many other ride-a-long boards), and this one flips up when not in use or during folding. Great design.

Compatible with Bugaboo Chameleon?
Q:My Bugaboo Chameleon is nearly 5 years old (still in perfect condition) and I've been looking for a buggy board. The reviews I've read about the Bugaboo buggy board are not great so I'm looking at other options. Is the piggyback compatible?

A:UppaBaby's PiggyBack is specifically designed for, and only compatible with, UppaBaby's Vista stroller.
The two wheeled board options that will work with a Bugaboo stroller include Bugaboo's Universal Wheeled Board, and Lascal's Buggy Board. Both are pretty easy to use, and equally loved by different customers. Some prefer the shallower/wider style of the Lascal option over the deeper/narrower style of the wheeled Board. However, most Bugaboo users seem happy using the accessory specifically designed for that product. In the end, which option is easier comes down to personal preference; both options function well.

Q:From what age could the piggyBack be used? I have two children that are 18 months apart and was wondering if I could start to use the piggyBack for the older child when she is about 24 months old.
A:The piggyBack is appropriate for children that can easily stand and walk, and are under 50 pounds. The age minimum is more about your child's interest in riding on the piggyBack and stable enough to hold on in that position. One word of caution, however, is that the younger children tend to still prefer to sit for longer periods - so we recommend the Rumble Seat as a "step one" after a first child, with the piggyBack being ideal for toddlers rather than 18-month-olds. Hope that helps!

Biosimilars (and biobetters) are driving trends as well. With more than 700 biosimilars/biobetters in the development pipeline,
there will be many more biopharmaceutical manufacturers and products, perhaps as many as a dozen or more for each emulated
reference product. This pipeline will mean a lot more new biopharmaceutical industry players, ranging from virtual and foreign
to the largest Big Pharma companies, with many new manufacturers and facilities. These competitors are expected to compete
on the basis of price; therefore, low manufacturing costs will be required. This low-cost requirement is driving many companies
to seek out and adopt bioprocessing innovations that achieve the most cost-effective manufacturing.

9. Quirky Feet
No idea why this trend started. Cute shoes though.

I have feathers to help me fly. I have a body and head, but I'm not alive. Your strength determines how far I go. You can hold me in your hand, but I'm never thrown. What am I? Check your answer.
How good is your memory? Click here to find out.
My CogniBoost is a fast-acting brain-booster shown in clinical research to significantly improve attention, focus, and recall! This 100% natural product is completely safe so, unlike many memory formulas, it can be used by the young and old…even if you're taking cardiovascular medications.
And if you are taking cardio meds, it's more essential than ever to ensure your brain and nervous system are getting the added support they need. That's because many cardiovascular conditions can hamper circulation and nutrient delivery to your brain, plus the medications you take to treat these conditions can impair nutrient absorption and deplete your natural stores of essential antioxidants.
Clinically-proven benefits for mind and memory
CogniBoost features a unique extract called Cereboost™, derived from premium American ginseng that is rich in brain-nourishing ginsenosides. Unlike the Asian ginseng you're likely to find in most health food stores, American ginseng is known to reduce stress, calm the body, and enhance mental clarity.
In a recent double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over clinical study—the gold standard in research—200 mg daily of Cereboost™ significantly improved multiple measures of cognitive function. Specifically, subjects were able to:
- focus more intently
- react more quickly
- think more clearly
- recall more accurately
Even better, these dramatic improvements occurred quickly and lasted up to 6 hours!
An added "booster shot" for cellular brain activity
In addition, CogniBoost includes acetyl L-carnitine, a highly absorbable form of L-carnitine, known to efficiently reach brain tissue and boost mental function. It enhances cellular energy production and nervous system communication, helping to make brain cells more vital and proficient.
CogniBoost also contains 2 of my favorite food-based antioxidants—blueberry extract and turmeric, which add tremendous free-radical-fighting power and anti-inflammatory support to the formula's brain-boosting benefits.
The turmeric comes to you as Meriva® Turmeric Phytosome. This unique phytosome form shields curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric) from water, allowing it to be absorbed without dilution. And, in turn, making it 45 times more absorbable and bioavailable than ordinary curcumin!
A sharp, nimble mind…today and every day
Who should take CogniBoost? Anyone who needs to punch-up their brain power for an important meeting, test, or event. Or, take it daily to end those nagging worries about losing your mental edge and memory. Either way, it's a safe, natural, proven brain-booster!
Flexing your mind muscles with brain teasers, puzzles, and games is an excellent way to enhance the number and strength of neuropathways in your brain and to keep your mind sharp. And with CogniBoost, you have another way to enhance your focus, mental acuity, and recall.

No, Sonos hasn't added AirPlay or Bluetooth. It's better. This is an update that can be added (via a free download) to any Sonos speaker or player and it works with the updated iOS app.
Sonos says that 60 percent of music purchased is bought directly on users' iOS devices (iPhones/Pads/Pods), and that music often stays on those devices because we infrequently sync with PCs. This update makes it easier to play downloaded music over a Sonos.
First, you need to update the software on your Sonos speakers or players. You can do this via the Sonos desktop software. After that make sure that your iOS device is running iOS 6, the latest version. Then update the Sonos app.
While this sounds like AirPlay for Sonos, it's not, but it's actually a little better. With AirPlay you can only play one stream from your phone to your playback device. With this Sonos update you can play up to five separate tracks on separate Sonos zones in your home (the update actually allows for up to 12 unique streams and up to 32 players). It's also able to sync the music among multiple zones via its own network.
I tried the update this morning. The whole process, including updating the app, took about five minutes. Afterward I saw my iPhone appear as an option (called This iPhone) in the Sonos music menu. I went directly to Ben Folds Five Whatever and Ever Amen and played "One Angry Dwarf." It played without issue, sounded great, and I was able to play it Bonnie "Prince" Billy in a separate zone, streamed from the same phone. If you're a Sonos user, try it.

What does a professional baseball player do months before he has to trade uniforms and play for a team in different city? Get a distributed home audio system installed in his house, of course. That's what new Red Sox relief pitcher Mark Melancon did just before he packed up for Florida for spring training.
Previously with the Houston Astros, Melancon will still make his home in Texas and bought a house in the state. He recently had a new Niles ICS whole-house audio system installed by integration systems experts Modia.
Melancon hadn't ever seen (or heard) a whole-house audio system like this before, but he's a believer now. He explains that when he and his wife first saw the house, it already had a system, an older Niles product, installed, and that's when his interest in the concept began. "Just listening to it for a couple of minutes when we walked through the house was something special," he says.
Once the couple was moved in they knew they needed a system like the one they'd heard on the house tour, but the prior owners took it with them. When they met with Modia to plan out the system, ease-of-use was a top priority. "We specifically chose the Niles ICS system because of the simplicity of programming and operation," says Modia's Prashant Mody.
While the house had some of the wiring already done, Melancon's plans for his new audio system were much bigger than what had previously been there. The old system only had three audio zones. The new system upped that to 11 including four zones of outside audio.
Being in Texas where the weather is warm for much of the year, outdoor music was a high priority for this home. Melancon spends a lot of time outside. In the large front yard he has rock speakers along the walkway, speakers mounted outside the garage and more speakers in the back around the pool, fire pit and the area that will eventually be an outdoor kitchen. An outdoor TV is probably in the home's future as well. "I'm excited to have a Super Bowl party next year because there will be people in the pool, and we'll have a TV out there to watch the game and be surrounded by audio," he said.
Most people have a couple of radios and maybe a good surround sound system in their home, but Melancon says living with an integrated whole-house audio system is a completely different experience. From any of the wall-mounted touchpanels or the portable Niles iRemote he can control the source and volume of any zone in the house. "The first thing I do in the morning is get out of bed and hit the keypad in the master bedroom to turn music on in the kitchen. When I get down to the kitchen it's already playing for me. Then I usually head outside to do some yard work and put on more music outside."
The Niles ICS system is based around the GXR2 multi-zone receiver. The receiver is modular, so users can add the modules they want for whatever music sources they like including iPod, satellite radio, HD Radio, and network music. The Melancons mostly listen to their iPods and Pandora. He says he's a real country fan, so expect George Strait on his playlist.
Music throughout the house is provided by both in-ceiling and in-wall speakers because the Melancons didn't want to see bulky speakers taking up floor space. Even in the living room, where the couple has a home theater system set up, the architectural speakers do double duty for the whole-house system and for movie surround sound. An eight-inch subwoofer hidden in a cabinet provides the LFE support. To navigate between the Niles audio system and the home theater system (consisting of a Sony LED TV and a Sony ES receiver), Modia programmed a URC MX remote control.
Even though there was already some structured wiring in place, the expanded system required a lot of pre-work before Modia actually installed the equipment. Several new wire runs, including wiring for the new touchpanels, plus all the outdoor speaker wiring, had to be mapped out from scratch. Reaching some of the upstairs areas was a challenge, but Modia found a small crawl space that would help them get from the main floor to the third floor. To make it easier for the installers, they built a ladder from 2x4s inside the crawl space and left it in place in case they or anyone else needs access to that area again.
The only drawback to this cool new system is that it was completed just before Melancon had to pack up and leave for spring training, and then when the season starts, he'll be heading to Boston. "It's a little disappointing that we have to leave, but it'll be fun to come back to. I'll press a button and it'll be home again."

Looking for phones? CNET's reviews of the best phones include photos, video, and user reviews.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will thrill anyone who loves a fast phone with a large screen, but it's best for compulsive scribblers willing to pay a lot for its winning stylus.
The iPad Air 2 is a nice refinement and finesse of last year's model, with a bevy of tweaks, enhancements, a much faster processor, and the welcome addition of Touch ID. Simply put: it's still the gold standard for tablets.
The Sony Xperia Z3 is Sony's most formidable to date with a formidable display and promising features that easily give Android competition from HTC, LG and Samsung a run for their money.
The iPhone 6 delivers a bigger screen while remaining easy to handle, with plenty of features to satisfy everyone -- and the promise of Apple Pay on the horizon to potentially sweeten the deal even further.
Impressive Amazon features and an outstanding display make the the Fire HDX 8.9 one of the best and most affordable media consumption tablets.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is a smooth-performing midrange slate, but it's overpriced compared to similar tablets.
The Asus MeMo Pad 8 is an affordable slate with tons of features, but if performance is king, faster options can be had for only $30 more.
Lenovo's ThinkPad 10 can add accessories to work as a tablet, laptop or micro all-in-one. It has some premium features to match its premium price, but not a premium CPU.
Although it's a disappointment Sony hasn't increased the screen resolution along with its size, and the camera's quirks are rather odd, the Xperia Z3 Compact's improved design, vast amounts of power, decent battery life and waterproof body help it maintain its position as one of the best mini flagships around.
The Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact's wealth of power, its skinny, waterproof body and decent screen make it a good option to consider if you're after a portable tablet. Although its screen resolution doesn't put it over its competitors, its ability to play games from your PS4 -- although not perfect yet -- gives it a unique selling point.

The hike is lower than the amount originally proposed by the county executive.
The new budget proposal cuts spending by county agencies more than $20 million and there will be no pay increases for county employees.
Board of Supervisors Chairman Sharon Bulova, a Democrat, says the tax increase and budget cuts are necessary to close a projected $169 million deficit created by decreased revenue in the slow economy.
Republican Supervisor John Cook, who also voted in favor of the tax increase, says it is a compromise and that inaction by Congress stifled the growth of county businesses that rely on federal government contracts.
Republican Pat Herrity was the the lone "no" in the 9-1 vote.

After being hidden away for 90 some years, a remarkable photo of Michael Collins taken just hours before his death was uncovered in a Dublin attic in 2012.
The images, captured using an old Brownie camera, were taken in August 22, 1922 by 18-year-old Agnes Hurley from Bandon. One shot features Collins in the back of the military vehicle in which he was driven to his death just hours later.
The Hurley collection spans 20 years from 1921. It was lost and found again in 2012 in a Dublin attic by her niece Mim O'Donovan.
O'Donovan brought the photographs to the 'Revolutionary Decade Roadshow' in Clonakilty, organised by University College Cork.
Another picture shows the scene at Beal na Blath where Collins was killed on August 23, 1922, the day after the ambush.
No photograph of the site where Collins died was known to exist previously.
"Aggie went to Beal na Blath to see what had happened because they'd heard gunshots the previous day.
"She took hundreds of photographs over the years and dated the back of every single one," O'Donovan told the Irish Independent.
Cork archivist Brian Magee described the find as "extraordinary".

Magnard: The Four Symphonies
CDD22068 2CDs Dyad (2 for the price of 1)
Movement 1: Introduction et Ouverture: Modéré Vif
Movement 2: Danses: Très vif
Movement 3: Pastorale: Modéré
Movement 4: Final: Vif
The first movement ends quietly in a passage of restrained intensity. Strauss, Bruckner, Glazunov, arguably Novák have been evoked en passant, and in the final pages one may even glimpse a startling harmonic suggestion of Nielsen. The second movement, like its counterpart in the previous symphony, is entitled Danses (this time Très vif), and is Magnard's lightest, truest scherzo achievement. Here mock-medievalry comes hand in hand with some evocative soloing of instruments, sometimes over rustic 'drone' bass notes. The compound duple time signature changes without disruption to a 5/4 measure for the secondary theme, which scores one of those pleasurably maddening 'surely-I've-heard-this-somewhere-else?' successes. It is impossible to see this music as anything but good natured, in much the same way as Dvorák's Slavonic Dances with their evocation of village music-making. (One music encyclopaedia entry on Magnard claims that after his father's death in 1894 he '… purged himself of all desire to charm his audience'. Listening to this movement with those words in mind will surely prove the injustice of its composer's fate hitherto.)
The slow third movement (Pastorale: Modéré) is a string-dominated, harmonically intense outpouring which begins in F sharp minor with a melancholy cor anglais solo and whose would-be idyll is continually undermined by menacing hints of the first movement's turbulence. These are progressively agitated and eventually precipitate a stormy climax before the principal theme returns in the tonic major key. Even at the last there remain some notably rough-edged interjections to cast shadows over the music's otherwise placid surface. A hint of Lydian modal harmony (featuring the sharpened fourth of the scale) is apparent, as it has been also at other moments in the symphonies so far.
The Final (Vif) takes us to B flat major, and balances the general character of the first movement, following precedent from the first and second symphonies by pressing the main subject into further service as a flute ostinato background to further ideas. Most notable here is the very evident cyclic principle in operation, whereby the first movement's opening chords (instantly recognizable, thanks to their strongly delineated contrast with all other material) begin to reassert themselves as a sort of incipient chorale during the central passage of the last. This, interspersed by scurrying strings, ultimately migrates upwards from low brass to form a peroration of austere brilliance, offset by the movement's hectic primary subject. If any further proof were needed of Magnard's often prophetic eclecticism, listeners might be startled to compare this theme with the climax of the scherzo in William Alwyn's Symphony No 4, also in B flat major, written in 1959.from notes by Francis Pott © 1998

On the off chance that you haven't met your Kardashian quota for the day, it appears that the famous family is leaking into the world of consumer electronics.
Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are going to be featured on HGTV's Cousins on Call, showing off a recent home remodel.
The project includes a "surprise" total renovation of Odom's home screening room. While it's hard to believe that there are any true surprises in the world of reality television, this one will include Pro Audio Technology (PRO) speakers.
The episode "Khloe and the Cousins Surprise Lamar" features Joseph Cali Systems Design of Santa Monica, California, who installed the new home theater system. The room now has new loudspeakers, subwoofers and power amplifiers, with more than 4,500 watts of total power.
"Khloe Kardashian Odom and Lamar Odom love their LA home. But they do have one room that they've never liked and rarely use. Plus it's purple, the color of Lamar's old team! So while Lamar is away on an NBA road trip, Khloe brings in the Cousins to transform unused space into a state-of-the-art theater," says the description on the HGTV website. "The couple wants a comfortable place to watch games or movies with their friends and family. So John and Anthony will design custom redwood accents to give the high-tech theater a warm and homey feel."
Cousins on Call is a TV show that follows real-life cousins and best friends Anthony Carrino and John Colaneri, as they transform old properties into dream homes.
The "Khloe and the Cousins Surprise Lamar" will air tonight, January 30 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT and replay at 3:30 a.m. Additional replays will air on February 16 (4:30 p.m.) and February 20 (5:30 p.m.) on HGTV.

Review this movie
Nov 13, 2014"The Collection" 10 Scale Rating: 1.5 (Terrible) ...
The Good: A few deaths were somewhat creative. The bad guy is creepy looking enough.
The Bad: Comical gore and slasher horror. Blood sprays like a faucet, heads explode like melons, and body parts are torn with reckless abandon and in the most cartoon-like way possible. The characters are less developed that you'd expect, even for this genre as the majority of them barely say hello before being decapitated, maimed, or sliced up. A horrible excuse for a horror film.… Expand

Jan 25, 2014The Collection was an epic film! It is a semi-typical horror film with jump scares, but it differs from other horror films I have seen. This film is definitely a nail-biting, tense film that is easy to enjoy if you love gore and death. This film can be watched numerous times without getting bored. One of my top horror films, and I believe everyone should see this, despite what they hear.
Dec 12, 2013The Saw similarities make it nothing new, (it was intended to be a Saw prequel, so, come on) but this film works by keeping the suspense going and making a genuinely creepy character out of the Collector that makes you want to keep watching.
Sep 28, 2013Everything good about the first film is thrown out the window during this one. It has a poor plot, It wasn't scary, and it was no where near as entertaining as the first film. Such a disappointment considering how good the first film was, I was hoping that it'd turn into another horror franchise but sadly that is not the case.
Aug 14, 2013This sequel to 2009's "The Collector" continues the trend of using "Saw" style traps to let audiences revel in blood and gore. If you enjoy torture-porn flicks then you will like this and know what to expect. Horror movie fans might find themselves alienated do to the lack of any sort of scares and a focus gruesome and bloody kills. That being said the movie is still highly watchable, it just has some issues that keep it from being considered a great movie. Just like its predecessor "The Collection" is basically just one intense game of cat and mouse. It's entertaining enough to keep you watching, but lacks any sort of meaningful plot. For instance we get to see the killer do all sorts of sick and twisted things, but we never get any sort of reasoning as to why he does what he does. This clearly shows that the focus is on the blood and gore, but it would have been nice to know what made the killer tick, and what pushed him over the edge. Still if you go into this just expecting to see some gruesome deaths and wont mind a lackluster plot then "The Collection" might entertain. Just keep in mind that it's not the greatest flick out there.… Expand
Jul 29, 2013The Collection starts off right where 2009's The Collector leaves off. The former was such a popular direct-to-video rental, that it's sequel actually wound up on the big screen, and how it avoided an NC-17 rating is beyond me. I've seen a ton of Horror movies, it's one of my favorite genres, so I can say, without hesitation that The Collection is one of the creepiest, goriest, and most clever Horror films I have ever seen. This crazed man in a mask is looking to collect certain types of people and if they pass his test, they can join his collection. If they fail, they become experiments in human suffering. In the first film, we see career criminal, Arkin O'Brien, fighting for his life. In the sequel, we see Arkin escape and lead a band of mercenaries back to the Collectors hideout, in order to rescue a captured rich girl. Of course once they get there, they find a maze of terror that rivals any film you've ever seen. I thought some of the machines in the Saw films were clever, but until you see this film, you haven't seen anything yet! How people come up with these things is beyond rational thought. Of all the ways to torture people, to come up with machines and techniques that exceed everything we've seen before is just sick...sick and very cool. The cast is the same as in every Horror movies, a bunch of dumb, no named actors, following a couple of smart people in order to stay alive as long as they can. What's special here is the story, the affects, and the level of depravity. The Collection is one of the most violent and gruesome Horror films to come along in years. It's the first step in the evolution of Horror that fans have been waiting for for years.… Expand
Jul 14, 2013meh I was definatly hoping for this movie to be better thn it was yet it wasn't a total disappointment. It didn't live up to the original in that it had a few unintentionally cheesy moments but it still upped the gore level.
Jun 4, 2013"As far as the horror genre goes, The Collection is top of the line. Gruesome, sadistic and completely and utterly disgusting! This is the film horror nuts need in their lives. While all the same being a well made sequel worthy of more than one viewing." B+
Apr 28, 2013I actually liked this movie. It was thrilling, gory and the beginning of the movie was pretty amazing. I haven't watched any horror movies, or gore movies in years now, but I liked the premise of this one and decided to watch, glad I did. I would recommend it to others who like movies that are a little bit gory and are more of shock value, then the psychology thrillers (used to be my favorite!).
Apr 25, 2013This was an impressive sequel that was certainly better than the first. An explosive opening sequence sets the mood for the rest of the film as its very fast paced and there's always something going on! Arkin is back which is great and we pick up from where the first one finished. This sequel did borrow elements from the Saw series just like the first one did, but was most similar to the second Saw film. Overall Horror fans are in for a treat with this film and its one not to be missed!… Expand
Apr 20, 2013This movie was different. If you are expecting a Saw type movie, you will be disappointed. It does, however, bring that well thought out feeling that you got from the Saw movies. It is just that the believabliltiy factor is a zero. From hundreds of deaths and kidnappings, you would figure the police might just consider getting involved. You would think that the one guy who gets away wouldn't be so easily convinced to go back to the hell hole from which he escaped, but he does. It is at that point where the movie becomes a cliche' horror movie where you see people die one by one until the villian gets his in the end, only to create the possibility for more sequels in the future. Rent this if Redbox is all out of real movies and you will be entertained, but I wouldn't put this at the top of the list.… Expand
Mar 27, 2013Awesome! It was intense the way the first ended, leaving the viewer dangling!! Then there was the three-year wait for the sequel! It was worth it! I did not foresee the role-reversal, very masterful!! I did not expect this movie to be as good as it is, it shocked me!! Lovers of the genre know well that typically sequels are never as good as the first; this one manages to be a blood-soaked, terrifying good time!! I highly recommend these movies! If you can get through the torture and gore, it is well worth it!… Expand
Mar 23, 2013Once again, another piece of crap spit out. I dont know how these guys get the funding to put out such garbage. The only cool scene is at the rave/dance when they all got mutilated (which also makes zero sense for the rest of the film). Nobody knows what a good horror/thriller is anymore, its all retarded scenarios. Dont waste your time on this trash.
Jan 28, 2013Epic, Amazing, Scary, Breathtaking, Nerve trespasser, I enjoyed every half a second of it, this is what I call a gruesome Horror, not SAW **** this one is highly recommended
Jan 3, 2013better than the original, tense, scary, fast-paced, and ultra-ultra-ultraviolent, the collection is a real gem for any self-respecting horror aficionado.
Dec 24, 2012The Collection is an above par horror sequel that isn't just better than the first, but also delivers an ending that rarely any horror films nowadays deliver.
Dec 22, 2012a worthy sequel that sufficiently carves out its own identity, dunstan once again proves to be an energetic and devoted director/writer, though there are much less developed characters this time around, in every other respect, it is bigger, and most certainly better, than the first film, even if you haven't seen the first, this is still great as a standalone film so please, if you love horror movies, you will find plenty to enjoy here.… Expand
Dec 22, 2012absolutely epic, tense, frenetic, scary, ultra-gory and action-packed on a much larger scale than the collector, the collection is everything horror fans could hope for, and there are still surprises to be had.
Dec 20, 2012the collection is almost, A L M O S T, as good as the original, but unfortunately, most of the characters are not traditionally likeable, or understandable, because, and this is not really a spoiler, but they're mercenaries who coerce arkin to bring them to the collector's hideout, like i said, not that likeable, only one manages to redeem himself (however remotely), and elena is not given much development, but i digress, in all other respects, this is bigger, more developed, than the original, though it maintains the refreshing simplicity that made the original so good, from the plot, (i explained it), to the traps, (what's simpler than sharp things and blunt things attached to a tripwire?), it effectively continues arkin's story with a more than ominous conclusion, this risky idea blossoms under dunstan's devoted and effective direction/writing, and it becomes something fans of the first film, (me included), are going to love and cherish - samarathenymph xoxo (happy doomsday)… Collapse
Dec 9, 2012You know that wonderful spine tingling, edge of your seat feeling you had when watching The Ring, that's not going to happen here. In fact quite the opposite. I fidgeted through the movie. I know studios have a certain quota of films they feel like they have to make, but really? The story is just out there and dumb. If you want blood and guts go to a slaughterhouse, at least that is real. If you want to be scared, watch the evening news. If you want to get your date in the mood, try alcohol. This movie does seem to hit any of the marks. If you are young and want to watch a "messed up" movie, put A Clockwork Orange in your Netflix queue. Otherwise, paying for this movie only further enables the studio's to make more mindless garbage.… Expand
An exercise in pure sadism, The Collection moves at a clip that leaps over plot holes in its race to elicit fright.
The Collection doesn't have much to recommend it beyond a first-reel bloodbath rivaling "Blade" and "Death Ship."
Dec 3, 2012The movie's a smorgasbord of horror, and, ironically, that takes the teeth out of it. We're not really in this villain's world, because we don't know what his world is, or what he is, or what he's trying to even do. It's like a nightmare designed by someone who's heard a lot about nightmares but has never actually had one.

We Came As Romans
We Came As Romans is a post-hardcore band formed in 2005. Hailing from Troy, Michigan, We Came As Romans are pushing the envelope, combining influences such as the intertwined singing/screaming vocals of Underoath, the theatrical, orchestra-infused metal of Chiodos, the crushing breakdowns of The Devil Wears Prada and the positive lyrics of August Burns Red on their debut Equal Vision release, To Plant a Seed. Their second album, Understanding What We've Grown to Be, released in September 2011 featured a darker tone than their previous album while still maintaining the band's overall theme of positivity and brotherhood. They announced that they will be releasing their third album titled Tracing Back Roots on July 23, 2013.
Signed to Equal Vision Records (announced April 16th) after being named Alternative Press' "Best Unsigned Band" early 2009.

Movement 1: En plein vent
Movement 2: Le soir
Movement 3: Jour de fête
Movement 4: Dans le bois au printemps
good, well handled, well constructed, perhaps too long in the middle in F#, where one hears too often what one has already heard in the form of restatement, which isn't development at all. But it would take very little to make a really good piece of it.
For the second movement d'Indy had some blustery criticism. It was:
less well constructed, although the its elements are altogether excellent. Very good exposition, but what kind of devilish modulation are you going to employ to get out of the said exposition? It's awkward, inharmonic and all that to reach a C major which is the last key to choose in a piece in G minor.
After a few more comments, mixing plain-talking technical observation with words of honest encouragement, d'Indy concluded: 'I believe you can make something very good of this violin suite on condition that it be more composed'.
Canteloube took d'Indy's criticism to heart and set about reworking the score, sending it to d'Indy some time the following year. His teacher's response, this time even longer-distance than usual, came from Boston, in a letter dated 20 November 1905:
The 1st and 2nd Nos. are now very good. It is astonishing how the 2nd piece has gained from the changes you have made. Such that it is absolutely harmonious and as the musical elements are very good, it really makes an excellent piece.
D'Indy expressed some structural reservations about the third movement – and then shrugged them off: 'don't change anything more in this piece. It is what it is, and can stay like that'. But he then went into an extended analysis of the fourth movement, taking issue with the length of the exposition (and aiming a passing swipe at his most prominent contemporary: 'don't trust Debussysme, that will pass very quickly') and with imbalances in the tonal relationships and the disposition of the thematic material, explaining to Canteloube exactly what was required to re-adjust the tonal architecture.
The prentice composer again appears to have taken the advice, since the next version of Dans la montagne, published by Rouart Lerolle in 1906, avoids the pitfalls d'Indy was worried about. (A second, revised, edition was published in 1933; this recording was made using the 1906 version.)
On the printed page, the mounting waves of piano figures – six notes: four rising, two falling – which support the violin line in the prelude look as if they might be intended to illustrate the title, 'En plein vent' – but Canteloube has marked the music Lent. Très calme: this is a gentle hilltop breeze, not a mountain squall. An extended central section, Assez animé, introduces a hint of folk-dancing, perhaps even of country fiddling, before it blows itself out over descending tremolos in the piano and, after a few bars, Plus lent, of near-complete calm, the opening material, still marked Très calme, returns – but it doesn't quite close the movement; that's left to a reprise of the Plus lent section. All the while the violin line has consisted of little else than the six-note, four-up, two-down, melodic shape.
One sees why d'Indy was so impressed with the second movement, 'Le soir', in its 1905 revision: it creates its summer-evening atmosphere with an absolute minimum of effort, with assured understatement and gentle half-colours – and for a composer of such relative inexperience, it is an ambitious eight minutes in length. The writing for violin is entirely idiomatic; and the piano part is full of such subtle shadings and colorations that one wishes that Canteloube the future master-orchestrator had revisited the piece to score it for orchestra. As if to underline its continuity, 'Le soir', too, opens with a rising-and-falling figure, which is similarly threaded through the movement, sometimes in lines so long that it isn't obvious to the ear. The gentle chromaticism of the violin part, over rippling piano figuration, makes the harmony subtly unpredictable, giving the music an improvisatory quality; the closing passage, Lent, where the piano lays down gentle chords soon marked lointain ('distant') and the violin pulls on a mute, also introduces a physical sense of space, of the music drifting out over the hills.
The third movement, 'Jour de fête', sparkles with the soft-edged humour that was to animate the Chants d'Auvergne – with the rhythm underlining how close Malaret is to Spain, an allusion reinforced when the pizzicato entry of the violin suggests the guitar. The violin part explicitly recreates the sounds of a village festival: one section of held chords is marked comme de l'accordéon – just after the violin has sketched the outline of the six-note figure from the first movement; and after a succession of runs, followed by a series of extended trills, the shape returns: this degree of thematic integration is surprising in a piece that has no pretensions to sonata form. For a moment the piano sounds as if it is about to set off downstream on Smetana's Vltava, but instead both instruments engage in a series of folk-dances (where the orchestrating attention of the older Canteloube could also have paid dividends), before the opening Spanish rhythms return to round the movement off.
The piano textures that launch the final movement, 'Dans le bois au printemps', reveal why d'Indy cautioned his student against 'Debussysme' – but then the violin opens out an Auvergnat melody that, in more extended form, was later to become famous through its inclusion in the Chants d'Auvergne (and subsequent television advertisements). A subsidiary, more urgent section, entitled 'Vers l'absente' (an abstract epithet, or perhaps a tribute to the composer's mother, who had shared the château at Malaret with him until her death in 1900?), features the Lisztian piano textures that can be found in other early Canteloube piano works before downwards-drifting patterns point the music towards Fauré. Then, after a noble chordal sequence, the rippling piano figurations from the very opening of the Suite return – as does the four-up, two-down shape, reconciled in the final bars with the Auvergnat melody.
