EMC's flashy XtremIO? I Xpect it will be great... in a few years
So we finally have general availability for XtremIO – not that general is much different from directed availability: it is still going to be pretty hard to get hold of an XtremIO if you want one. And that is of course a big *if*: do you really need an all-flash array? Can you use it? Is it just going to be a sledge-hammer to …
Too early to say...
The author makes is sounds like only Xtrem IO from all the AFA's (Pure, Violin, etc) has this problem of being "enterprise ready" where the reality is they all have the same problems and it's normal when you design something from ground up. The reason why nobody is rushing to have those data services is because they will all hit performance in a way, so they will probably let somebody else do that at a different level. In EMC's case I am guessing that technologies like VPLEX will be used to provide those services...
Is the market ready for AFA's? Probably not, but it is definitely good to have a look and separate your workload into high performance and high availability because of how these products change the market-place. Today the VMAX covers both, but if you look at most customers who buy a VMAX, they buy it for the availability and not the performance as it was wrongly pointed out many times on The Reg. in the comment fields.
PS: yes, I have created this account just to post this, but I have been following the website and the discussions here for quite a while now ...
Depending upon the AFA, there are other value props for leveraging the technology than just performance. Some incorporate the promise of what DataDomain wanted to do prior to EMC buying them - inline dedupe and compression, etc. This makes them very space efficient which in turn impacts power, data center footprint, etc. You can buy X amount raw but get X*3-5 usuable. There is management as well. There are some neat implementations of how you manage these systems. Others not so much though.
I see the workloads for these being OLTP. Those apps drive the business. And from a vendor perspective, that is where the money is. VDI and VMware a good plays, but OLTP is where they should play. To the author's point, how enterprise ready are the AFAs? Replication is key but there are alternatives - namely app level replication for OLTP (DataGuard, etc.). That said to be truly enterprise ready, they need true sync and async replication with consistency groups.
The main use for enterprise flash is workloads with many small read cache misses. These are the I/Os which are forced to fetch data from underlying storage, as opposed to cache. Applications with I/O heavy workloads will benefit, particularly those whose I/O can't be parallellised. If your workload must be sequential (this is random reads happening sequentially, not sequential I/O) and your read cache miss response time is 20 ms (not unusual for spinning disk) then you're going to get 50 IOPs, which is useless. Reduce that response time to 1 ms, and that number goes up to 1000. Reduce it down to 100 us, which the best flash storage seems to be able to do currently then you're more likely to move the saturation point to the server before you reach 10000 IOPs.
If your workload can do many things at the same time, and you have a decent queue depth, or you have few cache misses, then flash is probably a waste of money.
As for this EMC offering, it seems to be able to do not very much, not very well. It seems like this GA was purely dictated by marketing. The product has nothing new or better to offer than other more established offerings. No doubt EMC's salesmen will bang on about how many years they've had the lion's share of the storage market, but it's about as relevant here as if they were selling me a wardrobe.
XtremeIO is a tool in EMC's kit bag, strategically not as an individual offering (Not that they will turn down sales I am sure, but even EMC are pitching it at big VDI right now) but as part of a complete "Big Picture" play with ViPR providing the "Software Defined Storage" control layer with XtremeIO, VMAX, VNX, Isilon, ScaleIO and Data Domain as storage resources to be managed and VPLEX/RecoverPoint providing the availability piece.
It is an impressive story that really only IBM can compete with, but even IBM have some work to do in this space.

The Answer Was Staring Right At Me and Yet I Couldn't See It
It was another foggy day. A dingy, dense, and dreary encounter. I couldn't see a thing. The absence of clarity can be pretty frightening. Just the scary thought of placing one foot in front of the other brought on a paralyzing phobia – the fear of being stranded; stuck; suspended in time. I don't fare well in dark places. I lose my grip on sensibility, my systems shut down, and I shiver like a lost child in the night. And there I stood … in the foggiest of fogs. Oh, before I go on … Did you think I was … Continue reading The Answer Was Staring Right At Me and Yet I Couldn't See It

Boston Legal: Season One (Fox)
David E. Kelley's latest legal drama is nothing more than a TV show about TV shows; hence the casting of Captain Kirk and Murphy Brown, with guest shots by Diane Chambers, Golden Girl Rose Nylund, and Alex Keaton. It's like a Nick at Night mash-up, with the laugh track muted, but the dumbstruck chuckles nonetheless ever-present amid all the exaggerated, overzealous teeth-gnashing and cigar-chomping. It works so well thanks to the dynamic duo of William Shatner and James Spader, who suggest in a doc here that theirs is the same relationship on- and off-screen. And Candice Bergen, still the prettiest woman ever to squeeze into a screen too small for her, provides ballast when the whole bombastic thing threatens to fly into the ether like a zeppelin full of giggle gas. -- Robert Wilonsky
The Cecil B. DeMille Collection (Universal)
Cecil B. DeMille is a filmmaker more referenced than watched these days. His name is synonymous with the "swords and sandals" birth of the Hollywood blockbuster, but most viewers are familiar only with his 1956 epic The Ten Commandments, made when DeMille was 73. Universal dug up five others from his 1920s-'30s heyday for this frills-free boxed set. Cleopatra, The Signs of the Cross, and The Crusades are pure DeMille, with elaborate sets and costumes, and outsized performances. Aside from their interminable talkiness, these films feel surprisingly modern -- a testament to DeMille's influence. Four Frightened People hasn't aged well (much like other jungle adventures from that era), but Union Pacific, a western about the construction of the transcontinental railroad, is the real treat of the set. -- Jordan Harper
The Boondock Saints: Special Edition (Fox)
When roughneck bartender Troy Duffy signed with Miramax to direct his script for The Boondock Saints, the media proclaimed him the next Tarantino. Then Duffy got on the bad side of Miramax chief Harvey Weinstein and the project was scrapped, later to be made on a shoestring by a micro-studio. The story of two brothers who take on the Boston underworld yielded a deeply flawed film, full of wooden acting and third-rate Tarantinoisms. But it's also an exhilarating, atmospheric B-flick, featuring Willem Dafoe's strangest performance yet (meditate on that), Scottish comedian Billy Connolly as a brawling badass, and oodles of bullets. This unrated cut lacks only a sticker reading "Now with more blood!" But the commentaries and deleted scenes are a snooze; for a real special feature, get the documentary Overnight, which chronicles the rise and deserved fall of Duffy's film career. -- Harper
Kingdom of Heaven (Fox)
The size and scope of this four-disc box -- which contains as its centerpiece a two-plus-hour movie about the Crusades, stretched to 194 minutes -- suggests the theatrical version was a masterpiece that just needed fine tuning. Yet no amount of extra footage (much of which was deemed tangential, says director Ridley Scott in his glib intro) can correct the casting; Orlando Bloom, as the heir to a sword and the blood it spills, has all the gravitas of a kindergartner delivering Shakespeare. The movie's merely more sprawling now -- an epic in search of a soul, a damnation shouted so loudly that it drowns out its noble intentions. The collection's loaded with extras, but the movie -- even at this new length -- doesn't offer enough to merit the attention. -- Wilonsky

Grumpy Fans – Now Available in Multiple Flavors!
I've started seeing something in the ranks of Doctor Who fandom. It's probably not anything new, but it's something I've noticed, or noticed more, recently. And by "noticed" I mean "let get under my skin". This blog post is a rather selfish attempt to work through this, understand it a bit more, and maybe even make myself feel better. If the phenomenon I'm about to describe has been bothering you too, then maybe we can help each other. And if you notice a bit of yourself in this, perhaps you'll think twice about how you interact with other fans. (Or both! Being bothered and being a culprit are not mutually exclusive.)
For a long time, I've had a picture in my mind of the stereotypical "grumpy fan"*: a person who once liked Doctor Who and just can't get over the fact that it's not the same as it was in 1977, and why can't I have my show back the way it was and rant rant rant. Continue reading
The Minister of (Giving Audio Drama a) Chance
Hello again good readers! I've been a bit quiet of late, but that should come as no surprise, as Doctor Who is back! I've been prepping and watching and thinking about it rather a lot, but I'm taking a moment here to get back to my patron-inspired posts! This time courtesy of fellow Doctor Who fan and all-around wonderful human being Annette Bjorling!
Annette was one of my first patrons, and she asked if I'd be willing to do something a little bit different for her selection. Instead of watching an episode of television, she wanted me to listen to part of an audio series called The Minister of Chance. I'd been hearing about this series for quite some time, so I was more than happy to oblige! Continue reading
"It's Morning" (Guest Post by My Grandma!)
Hello good readers! This post is something special. My grandma wrote a short manuscript, created from scraps of things she jotted down over a series of years. She didn't think it was particularly good, and tucked it away long ago. My mom and Aunt Marsha recently convinced her otherwise, and she's graciously allowed me to publish it here. I couldn't be more proud to come from such a line of impressive ladies. If I do have any real writing talent, I clearly come by it honestly.
I love how this gives me a peek into what life was like for my mom's family when she was growing up. Family history like this is so very precious to me. And even if you don't happen to be related to me, there's real wisdom and heart here. (Which, if you know my grandma, you know is completely appropriate.)
Now please enjoy. I know I did.
It's Morning
by Flossie Peterson
This is a bad dream—a nightmare. "Wake-up," I tell myself. But no. I'm trapped in a fantastic prison. Somehow I see my face contorted with panic as sadistic guards rattle the cage. "Why prolong this?" I scream. "Just take me out of here and get it over!"
Cool People Doing Cool Things
Okay so my last post gave me the opportunity to write about my friend Sean's awesome new business, Murder for Hire. And that was fun. I like talking about the awesome stuff my friends are doing. That got me thinking about some of the other nifty things my friends are doing. I have a really creative and motivated circle of friends!
So I decided I'd collect some of them and share them with the world.* I like highlighting interesting projects. Especially when they're being created by my friends!** So without further preamble, here are some cool people doing cool things!

Clued In (a Love Letter to a Wacky Murder Mystery)
It's that time again! Another patron-inspired post!
Confession time! This one is a patron-inspired post. Okay, that's not much of a confession. The real confession is that this was the very first patron-suggestion I got, and I'm just getting to it now. Yeah. I suck. (Sorry Sean!) The reason for my dawdling is twofold. #1) I wanted to make sure when I rewatched Clue, I was able to do it with my dear spouse, who had never seen it before. (I know!) Well, I needn't have bothered. He really didn't like it. Grumble. But more important is #2… Continue reading
Depression Lies (but I'm Not Falling for its Nonsense)
"Depression lies." I'd never thought about depression in those terms until I started reading Wil Wheaton's blog,* but it's so true. It's not just that the feelings (or lack thereof) that accompany a bout of depression (often with a healthy side-helping of anxiety) are temporary, it's that they're not true.
The awful patina of dread that accompanies pretty much every action when I'm depressed is real, yes. But it's not true. There's a subtle, yet important, difference. There's no question the feeling is real. It exists. I can't get around that. I'm stuck smack dab in the middle of it. And yet somewhere, deep inside where I can't find it anymore, I really am happy about all the amazing stuff in my life.
I have the best, most supportive partner I can imagine, a family I love and can rely on, a group of friends who are second to none, a job I enjoy and am good at, and several podcasts I am incredibly proud of. I couldn't be happier! Except that when depression comes calling, I'm not. Or at least, I can't remember that I am. It's crazy how knowing something and feeling it are two completely separate things.
So when I do hit a rough patch, Continue reading

Here's the news:
Randolph W. Sly, former Archbishop of the Charismatic Episcopal Church and one of the early founders of the CEC in 1992, was received into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church, along with his wife, Sandra, on November 12, 2006 at St. Benedict Catholic Church in Richmond, Virginia.
Sly indicated this decision came from an extended time of discernment for the two of them. "We were at a point last summer personally and ecclesiastically in the CEC where I felt a change was coming. Sandy and I had found ourselves moving deeper into catholic Christianity during our tenure in the CEC. More recently, the draw toward full communion in the Roman Catholic Church had grown greater and became a very strong call in the six months prior to our conversion. We are delighted to continue our service to Jesus Christ and His Church as Catholics."
Fr. James Kauffmann, Pastor of St. Benedict Catholic Church issued the following statement: "It was my great joy to receive Randy and Sandy Sly into the full communion of the Roman Catholic Church at the Divine Liturgy at Saint Benedict Catholic Parish on November 12, 2006. What a glorious day it was! It was also a wonderful gift to, along with Deacon Keith Fournier, work with the Sly's during their period of catechesis leading up to their reception. Their love for the Lord and the ancient yet ever fresh Catholic Faith is an inspiration. Their prior years of service to the Lord have only prepared them for what lies ahead as they respond to God's continuing invitation to serve Him in the New Evangelization called for by the late Servant of God John Paul II. We welcome them home and eagerly anticipate all that lies ahead for them in the fullness of Catholic faith."
Even prior to his involvement in the CEC Sly had been known for several years as a major voice of the "Convergence Movement" where the evangelical, charismatic, and liturgical/sacramental streams of the church were coming together as "one mighty river of God." He has been in active pastoral ministry for over 30 years, first with the Wesleyan (Methodist) Church and then with the Charismatic Episcopal Church, where he last served as Archbishop of the Eastern Province and Supervising Archbishop of the Office of Communications.

If you order just be sure your background isn't too light or the white letters will be hard to read."
"Everyone loved her birth announcement!! They turned out great!! I was able to customize the fonts and colors to get the finished product I wanted!! Shipping was quick and I received them very fast!!"
"We used these announcements as our annual Christmas card this year and they are absolutely beautiful. We printed them on the white shimmer card stock and it gave them the special added touch we were looking for. The quality was impeccable and they were printed and shipped within days of placing our order. We couldn't be happier!"
"I would highly recommend this product to anyone announcing a birth around the holiday season! Even though it is listed under the announcement for girls, I used this for a baby boy. It is very classy and trendy at the same time. I was able to change the fonts and font colors to allow the picture to be shown better, which I really liked. Plus, the color/tint options for the photo are great! Again, I highly recommend this product!"
"Gorgeous and timeless card. Love that you can print words on the back so serves as a great combined introductory and Thankyou card. Overall simple timeless elegance."

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Friday, May 11, 2012
A federal grand jury has indicted 23 suspected gang members on racketeering charges in only the second case in which the federal racketeering law has been used against a Kansas gang.
U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom says the indictment against the Norteno gang also charges four of the men with the June 2009 murder of Israel Peralta and attempted murder of at least three other men in Dodge City. The indictment was obtained by The Associated Press before its official release.
Former U.S. Attorney Eric Melgren first used the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act to prosecute 28 members of the Crips gang in Wichita in 2007.
Congress enacted RICO in 1970 to target the Mafia, and the law has been used in human trafficking and gang cases.K
KAKE's Lily Wu is attending a news conference in Dodge City. Watch for updates here and on KAKE.
U.S. Attorney News Release on indictments:
A federal indictment unsealed today alleges Norteno gang members in Dodge City, Kan., were involved in racketeering and murder, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said today.
The indictment names 23 defendants, including four who are charged with the June 8, 2009, murder of Israel Peralta and the attempted murder of three other men. Peralta was shot to death as he and his friends were sitting outside in a trailer park on the south side of Dodge City. One of the men with Peralta was wounded by gunfire during the attack.
"This indictment alleges the Nortenos operated a criminal enterprise in Dodge City," said U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom. "They engaged in drug trafficking, robbery and even murder for the purpose of expanding their power, wealth and influence."
The indictment alleges members of the Nortenos built the gang's reputation in Dodge City, defended its territory, and promoted its drug trafficking activities by creating a climate of fear through acts of violence and threats of violence. The defendants are charged under a federal law called the RICO Act (Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act). The indictment marks only the second time federal prosecutors in Kansas have filed charges under RICO and VICAR, violent crimes in aid of racketeering activity.
The indictment is based on a two-year investigation in which the Dodge City Police Department teamed up with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and other local, state and federal agencies to build the case.
"This indictment sends a message, " Grissom said. "Dodge City residents shall not live in fear. Our streets are not a war zone. Gangs of armed men will not be permitted to prey on the weak or to exchange fire while the rest of us scramble for cover."
"This investigation was initiated due to the ongoing violent criminal street gang problems occurring in Dodge City," said Craig Mellecker, Dodge City Police Chief. "The Dodge City Police Department is committed to taking enforcement action to rid our community of these violent street gangs. The citizens of Dodge City deserve to live in a safe community."
The 38-count indictment filed in U.S. District Court in Wichita includes counts alleging conspiracy to engage in racketeering, violent crimes in furtherance of racketeering, unlawful possession of a firearm after a felony conviction, brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a violent crime, possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and other counts. Among the violent crimes alleged in the indictment are the following:
Six counts of the indictment focus on alleged armed robberies. The indictment alleges Nortenos committed assaults with dangerous weapons and brandished firearms while robbing Guatemalan residents of Dodge City in their homes.
"The indictment alleges members of the Nortenos preyed on Guatemalan immigrants who work in the beef packing plants in Dodge City," Grissom said. "It is well known among the Nortenos that many of the Guatemalan workers do not use banks and try to avoid contact with law enforcement officers. They are smaller in stature and they are unlikely to be armed."
Michael P. Gleysteen, ATF Special Agent in Charge, said: "These indictments demonstrate ATF's commitment to ensuring that gangs involved in criminal enterprises, including the Nortenos, know they are not welcome in Dodge City. We will utilize all our resources to eradicate criminal gangs from our communities."
Defendants named in the indictment face varying charges depending on their alleged involvement in unlawful acts. The defendants include:
Upon conviction crimes carry the following penalties:
Conspiracy: A maximum penalty of 20 years and a fine up to $250,000.
Violent crimes in furtherance of racketeering: A maximum penalty of 20 years and a fine up to $250,000; or a maximum penalty of 10 years and a fine up to $250,000 depending on the type of violent crime.
Murder in furtherance of racketeering: A maximum penalty of death, or life in prison, and a fine up to $250,000.
Possession or discharge of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence: Not less than five years and a fine up to $250,000.
Possession in furtherance of drug trafficking: Not less than five years and a fine up to $250,000.
Conspiracy to commit assault with a dangerous weapon in furtherance of racketeering: A maximum penalty of three years and a fine up to $250,000.
Unlawful possession of a firearm or ammunition after a felony conviction: A maximum penalty of 10 years and a fine up to $250,000.
Possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine: A maximum penalty of 20 years and a fine up to $1 million.

Was referred to Tonys pitstop by a coworker, after seeing his shop its obvious that they take no pride in anything, Would never trust a place like that with my vehicle. i cant believe the city allows such a thing.
they should really change the name to, end of the road auto, took my wifes car there four months ago and havent seen it since.......
Sister spent a ton of unnecessary $ and multiple trips to have car repaired only to have it sabotaged on the final visit. Would never recommend! Could kill someone some day.

Amanda Seyfried and Taylor Swift Offered Roles in 'Les Miz'? Cue Tween Screaming NowCasting Couch By Kate Erbland on January 3, 2012 | Comments (17)
On the heels of the news that director Tom Hooper will likely make the cast of his upcoming Les Miserables adaptation sing "live" on camera (versus inserting vocals after they've been polished up in a traditional recording studio), comes news that The King's Speech helmer may have two other vocal talents to add to his production. Twitch reports, thanks to two different exclusive scoops, that offers are out to Amanda Seyfried and Taylor Swift for a pair of key parts (and both angles on a looooove triangle!). Seyfried (who actually has a background in opera, fun trivia!) has been offered the essential role of Cosette. Cosette is the daughter of Anne Hathaway's Fantine (yes, Hathaway is just three years older than Seyfried), the ruined and tragic prostitute. Fantine gives baby Cosette to the rich Thénardiers, thinking they will care for her, though they mistreat her until she is eventually saved by adoptive papa Jean Valjean. And just why do the Thénardiers abuse her? Well, they're really evil, and they're also busy lavishing treats on their real daughters, including eldest Eponine. Swift has reportedly been offered the role of Eponine, rich girl turned street urchin. Both Cosette and Eponine are in love with second-generation baron Marius Pontmercy (to be played by Eddie Redmayne) in Victor Hugo's classic story. The addition of Seyfried is a bit of a no-brainer, she's well on her way to an established film career (despite some missteps like Red Riding Hood and Dear John), and her actual background in and talent for […]
On Their Own: Tom Hooper's 'Les Miserables' Cast to Record Vocals Live on Camera?In Production By Kate Erbland on December 28, 2011 | Comments (6)
Let it never be said that director Tom Hooper doesn't make some interesting choices when it comes to filming his projects for maximum veracity. His Oscar-winning hit The King's Speech was shot on a former porno set (grit!), he used Colonial Williamsburg for a number of sets for his John Adams (gritty, in a different way!), and now it looks like he's going full-hilt on his first musical feature. Hooper's next film is a full-scale musical feature version of the done-to-starving-death Les Miserables, and while a new take on Victor Hugo's classic material doesn't strike most people as necessary, Hooper is going to give the project its own spin to liven it up. No, no, he's not going to make it some sort of bizarre "reimagining," he's going to make its stars actually sing. No, no, it's much more interesting than that – he's going to make them sing live. A "source close to the production" has told the Sun UK that "the director is determined to make the project as authentic as possible." As such, "the cast will record their vocals live on camera rather than go into a studio first then mime on film to the pre-recorded vocal…First they have to learn the complex songs, then they'll have to get it right on set in front of the other stars and crew." This does provide a look inside Hooper's vision for the film, which may be much more classically theatrical than first suspected. Hooper has already lined up […]
'The Dictator' Trailer: Sacha Baron Cohen as Equal Parts Muammar Gaddafi and Ali GMovie News By Neil Miller on December 14, 2011 | Comments (3)
Paramount Pictures has released the first trailer for The Dictator, in which Sacha Baron Cohen plays a ruthless Middle Eastern dictator, something along the lines of Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi, who is sent to America in exile and must live among the infidels. It's what one might call a brave move, if this weren't another Sacha Baron Cohen and Larry Charles joint. It's safe to assume that Cohen is trying to create this modern generation's version of Chaplin's The Great Dictator, but with far more hairy Kardashians jokes.
Review: Magical 'Hugo' Uses New Technology to Tell Old-Fashioned TaleMovie Reviews By Robert Levin on November 23, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
It's hard to overstate just how amazing it is to consider a big-budget, major studio-produced 3D family adventure centered on Georges Méliès. Before now, the work of the early cinematic innovator, whose movies (most famously 1903's A Trip to the Moon) revolutionized and advanced special effects, has been relegated to film history texts and brief snippets of televised specials. If there's one filmmaker to make Méliès matter again, to introduce him to a mass audience, it's Martin Scorsese. After all, the Oscar-winning legend is not just one of the foremost cinematic masters, as a noted film preservationist, he's among the chief protectors of the long, glorious and frequently threatened legacy of the motion picture. In Hugo, Scorsese transforms the trappings of a 3D holiday picture into a loving tribute to Méliès and the earliest masters of the cinematic dream factory. From the structure of its narrative, to the details of its plot, and the industrialized nature of its majestic visuals, this is a film infused with the joy and wonder of movies. Set amid the glittering magic of Paris in the early 1930s, the film follows 12-year-old orphan Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield), who secretly lives in a train station. Hugo, who winds the station's clocks, dwells inside a labyrinthine interior comprised of enormous grinding gears, rising steam currents, and other elaborate metallic concoctions. Among the latter is a non-functioning automaton brought home by Hugo's late father (Jude Law), which the young man works on incessantly in the hope that he can bring […]
Movie News After Dark: Sacha the Slave Trader, General Jimmy Stewart, Luke Mullen's Beard and All the Dials Go to ElevenMovie News By Neil Miller on November 11, 2011 | Comments (2)
What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly movie news column that would like to lend apologies to those who despise brevity. Tonight's just not a quantity kind of night. It is, however, a quality kind of night. Quentin Tarantino is now officially on a casting binge for Django Unchained, reportedly signing up Sacha Baron Cohen to play a gambler who buys Kerry Washington as his companion, thus angering the titular slave played by Jamie Foxx. I love it when he plays the villain.
Trailer for Martin Scorsese's 'Hugo' Is a Runaway TrainMovie News By Scott Beggs on July 19, 2011 | Comments (4)
It's fascinating that the director of Taxi Driver is the man who put this together. Martin Scorsese once again shows his versatility by tackling Hugo, an adaptation of the popular children's novel "The Invention of Hugo Cabret." Interestingly, it look like he's channeling Chris Columbus here with a healthy dose of Lemony Snicket. Yes, it looks fun and silly, but this trailer makes it look a bit too childish (and features far, far too much of Sacha Baron Cohen falling down and smashing into things Kevin James-style).
Sacha Baron Cohen Protests Himself on the Set of 'The Dictator'Movie News By Scott Beggs on July 18, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
What's maybe most fascinating about Sacha Baron Cohen's newest movie is that he won't be playing himself via one of the characters he created for his television show, and he won't be acting alongside people that don't know what kind of movie they're in. It's a welcome change because even with its successes, the schtick had a shelf life, and Cohen is smart to move away from it before it got completely stale. The natural next step for him and director Larry Charles? Basing a narrative feature off a novel written by Saddam Hussein. They'll be mocking Hussein in The Dictator, and a few clips from the set have already come out, but this is the first one that's any fun to watch. At first, it's a little jarring because the mind wants to see that crowd as a group protesting something legitimately that Cohen has wormed his way into instead of a set full of extras. It's still a fun, quick little look into the film as Cohen protests himself.
'Curb Your Enthusiasm' Star J.B. Smoove Brings Smooveness to 'The Dictator'Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on July 6, 2011 | Comments (1)
Sacha Baron Cohen's upcoming movie The Dictator, wherein he plays a crazy, bearded zealot who finds himself adrift in the United States, just keeps on adding awesome names to its cast. Already it had names like Anna Faris, John C. Reilly, John Mantzoukas, and even Ben Kingsley set to take part, and now it's added Larry David's permanent houseguest Leon to the mix. If you haven't managed to see any of David's HBO series Curb Your Enthusiasm, first, shame on you, and second, you need to know that one of the biggest revelations to come out of that classic show is the powerful comedic prowess of J.B. Smoove. This guy has got the goods. Just look at that name. He showed up for about five minutes as a cab driver in Date Night, and completely stole that movie away from rock solid comedic actors like Steve Carell and Tina Fey. I can't imagine what he's going to do when paired up with the insanity of a Sacha Baron Cohen production. Early word is that Smoove (I love typing that) is set to play a character named Usher. No details are known about who the character is, but does there really need to be? His name is Usher, it's going to be funny. [THR]
Movie News After Dark: Sacha's Dictator, Simon Pegg's Writing, All Night Risk and Epic Voiceover TweetsMovie News By Neil Miller on June 9, 2011 | Comments (2)
What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly movie news round-up that finds the darndest things. Like Sacha Baron Cohen's beard, creepy Musketeer posters, Mark Wahlberg, Simon Pegg, Paul Walker and a way to make your tweets into epic cinematic adventures. You need this and you know it. We begin tonight with Sacha Baron Cohen looking crazytown as The Dictator, his latest mockumentary prank film. Only this time, it's got a more concise narrative. Cohen will play the dual roles of a ruthless dictator who heads to the U.S. for a meeting at the United Nations and finds that his number two has replaced him with an unsuspecting sheepherder lookalike. The big guy has sort of a Cosmo Kramer meets Mr. T vibe going on, with all the frills of the late Saddam Hussein. That feeling deep in your loins is unbridled excitement. That's a good thing.
Sacha Baron Cohen Bags Up Ben Kingsley for 'The Dictator'Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on April 29, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
The next movie from progressive, freak-people -the-hell-out filmmaker Sacha Baron Cohen will see him playing the deposed dictator of a Middle Eastern country who gets repeatedly horrified with his experiences during a trip to the United States. Larry Charles, the director of both Borat and Bruno, is returning to direct this Cohen joint as well, so you have to imagine that it will retain elements of that attacking an unsuspecting public with a controversial character gimmick that Cohen has relied on for laughs so far. But interacting with Midwestern intellectuals and coercing them into saying ridiculously racist and homophobic things doesn't seem to be all that this one has to offer, if it goes in that direction at all. Charles and Cohen are looking to fill some key roles with seasoned, recognizable actors, so this may prove to be a much more tightly scripted story than anything we've yet seen from the duo. While the hunt for the female lead is still ongoing (with Kristen Wiig, Anna Ferris, and Gillian Jacobs's names being thrown around as front-runners), one of the other big roles of the film has been filled; and filled by an Oscar winner. Ben Kingsley has signed on to join Cohen and whoever the heck else in this satirical look at power-mad rulers. The details of the story are still unclear, but it is said that Kingsley will be playing one of two Middle Eastern characters. Even though he does some real crap every once in a while, […]
Sacha Baron Cohen To Mock Saddam Hussein in 'The Dictator'Movie News By Scott Beggs on January 20, 2011 | Comments (40)
Perhaps the most famous rendering of Saddam Hussein on-screen was as a bowling alley shoe attendant in one of The Dude's vivid daydreams. Now, that's about to change. Although he won't be playing him directly, Sacha Baron Cohen will be playing a courageous dictator fighting tooth and nail to keep democracy from infiltrating the country he's severely oppressing for The Dictator. The tongue-in-cheek treatment of the bad guy and the title are obvious callbacks to Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator, which mocked Hitler with wondrous dance sequences and gibberish. Borat and Bruno director Larry Charles is back, but this is an entirely different animal. It's great to see this kind of comedy being made, and it'll be interesting to see how well Charles and Cohen can pull it off. According to the press release, the movie is set for release through Paramount May 11, 2012.
Reject Radio #63: Tiptoe Through and LaTulippeFeatures By Scott Beggs on September 20, 2010 | Comments (1)
This week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, Going the Distance screenwriter Geoff LaTulippe (pronounced "La Tulip") stops by to share his xenophobia, puff on his pipe a little harder, and tell his personal story of getting his first screenplay sold and produced all from the comfort of his living room couch. We also find time to review Easy A, Devil, and The Town.
Beelzebub Has The Role of Freddie Mercury Put Aside for Sacha Baron CohenCasting Couch By Scott Beggs on September 17, 2010 | Comments (7)
Every once in a while there's a bit of innovative casting that fits perfectly. Queen front man Freddie Mercury, the greatest vocalist in rock history (with second place going to Steve Perry from Journey), is finally getting the biopic treatment, and he'll be played by Sacha Baron Cohen. No word yet on whether he'll be singing or whether old recordings of Mercury will be in use. Seeing Cohen as Borat, this seems like a strange move. Keeping in mind Cohen's range (and general appearance), this makes more sense than it should. The project is being produced by GK Films, and they've hired Peter Morgan (who wrote The Queen, appropriately enough) to pen the script. [Cinema Blend]

This report is vague in that it does not identify any of the suspected sex traffickers. The bet is that most of them are of foreign origin.

Saw a version of this story earlier today in a California newspaper, names likewise omitted so readers won´t jump to the correct conclusion that this is one of the many fine cultural enhancements that arrive across our open southern border.On the plus side, easy availability of child prostitutes in our formerly nice cities might save taxpayers some airfare shuttling around a certain US senator from New Jersey.

I too have been wondering about the children who may have never made it to the U.S. over the long trek from Central America.Those people have been lured here by Obama´s promises of a free ride. How many kids have died? How many sold off along the way? How many will never be found?I think this is one MASSIVE example of child endangerment and the NONE of those small children should be returned to parents who put them on a truck or sent them off with a "coyote."If they cannot be sent back by law.... declare them abandoned (They´re technically wards of the state now)then allow them to be adopted into American families where they may at least have a chance, and those who put them in danger are not rewarded.

I was turning the channels on TV yesterday and the local news anchor was talking to Diane Sawyer, who was to have a special about it later in the evening. Even though this article says it happened in over 100 cities, the news folks were speaking as if this happened here in the SF Bay Area

Vladimir Kozlov
Real Name
Oleg Prudius
Date of Birth
April 27, 1979
Place of Birth
Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov walked into Elimination Chamber 2011 as the WWE Tag Team Champions, but they would walk away without the gold, as Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater, representing the Corre, were victorious in their match. Ezekiel Jackson and Tamina Snuka were both at ringside.
February 20, 2011
A picture of Bret Hart with Karen Jarrett and Jeff Jarrett while all three were in New Orleans earlier this month for WrestleCon. Rumors are suggesting that Hart could have some sort of involvement with Global Force Wrestling, but that appears to be highly unlikely, as Hart does not want to ruin his relationship with WWE.
April 21, 2014
There are rumors floating around that Carlito could be one of the bigger names to sign with Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling. The two of them were spotted together during WrestleCon in New Orleans earlier this month. Carlito is denying that the two of them talked about a contract, but the former WWE star did say that he was open to the possibility.
April 19, 2014
A video of Sting teasing an appearance at Wrestlemania 31. This was taken from New Orleans this week while the legendary former world heavyweight champion was in town for WrestleCon.
April 6, 2014
A picture of Maryse Ouellet and Maria Kanellis in their sexy dresses at WrestleCon in New Orleans. Maryse is expected to be backstage at Wrestlemania 30 this weekend, while Maria is still an uncertainty.
April 6, 2014
During Wrestlemania 30 weekend, Mickie James performed a couple of her songs on the stage at the Sugar Mill in New Orleans. The former WWE diva is in town for WrestleCon, where she signed autographs and met with fans. Elijah Burke was spotted at her concert, and he confirmed it on Twitter by stating that he got a chance to jam out with Mickie.
April 6, 2014
Through Twitter, Honky Tonk Man posted this rather interesting message about having to buy his own ticket to New Orleans during Wrestlemania 30 weekend. He mentioned something about WWE screwing him over. The former Intercontinental Champion is in town for WrestleCon, and it does not appear that he was invited to the big event on Sunday night.
April 6, 2014
A couple of former WWE divas will be in New Orleans this weekend, and one of them is Maria Kanellis, who has been booked by WrestleCon to meet and greet with fans. While she has attempted to make up with Nikki Bella and Brie Bella recently, it is uncertain if she will be invited backstage at Wrestlemania 30 itself.
April 5, 2014
While much of the wrestling world has converged in New Orleans for Wrestlemania 30 this week, Melina Perez is one of the more notable names missing from the events. She has not been booked for WrestleCon, even though the likes of Fifi the Maid, Tammy Sytch and Gorgeous George, the former girlfriend of Randy Savage, are making appearances.
April 5, 2014
Legendary former NWA World Heavyweight Champion Terry Funk is in New Orleans this weekend. He is scheduled to meet and greet fans at WrestleCon. While Wrestlemania 30 is nearby, it is uncertain whether or not he will be backstage at the pay per view, as his relationship with Vince McMahon has always been on again and off again.
April 5, 2014
With much of the wrestling world in the state of Louisiana this weekend, Mr Anderson will be in New Orleans as well. Instead of working Wrestlemania 30, though, he will be making an appearance at WrestleCon, along with several dozens of other big name performers like Goldberg, Kevin Nash, Diamond Dallas Page and Scott Hall.
April 4, 2014
While his potential involvement at Wrestlemania 30 has yet to be confirmed by WWE, Rob Van Dam will certainly be in New Orleans this weekend, as he is one of the slew of professional wrestlers who have been booked for the WrestleCon event taking place in the Louisiana. RVD has a signing on Saturday, but he is free on Sunday night to work a big pay per view match.
April 4, 2014
Even though he has not been officially announced by WWE as taking part in Wrestlemania 30, Bret Hart will be in New Orleans this upcoming weekend. The former world heavyweight champion has been booked by the promoters of WrestleCon to show up at their event. He will be meeting fans, taking pictures and signing autographs.
April 4, 2014
Since she is in New Orleans this weekend for WrestleCon, Maryse Ouellet is also expected to be backstage at Wrestlemania 30 to support her husband Miz. The belief is that WWE officials will gauge her interest in making a return to the company now that she is done planning her big wedding. Maryse is said to be less resistant towards coming back lately.
April 4, 2014
Since he is going to be in New Orleans this weekend for WrestleCon, there are heavy speculations that Sting could be showing up at Wrestlemania 30 as well. However, those are just rumors for now, as the legendary former world heavyweight champion had his plane tickets purchased by WrestleCon promoters as opposed to WWE.
April 2, 2014
When 2014 started, WWE fans had high hopes that this would be the year when Sting finally makes his appearance at Wrestlemania. As time has passed by, those odds decreased tremendously, and now, it looks like it is definitely off the books, as Sting has been booked to make an appearance at WrestleCon in New Orleans that weekend instead.
March 19, 2014
Seems like everyone in professional wrestling will be in New Orleans during Wrestlemania 30 weekend. It has now been announced that Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian have been signed to make appearances at WrestleCon. They will be signing autographs and taking pictures during the entire weekend.
March 6, 2014
Earlier today, Velvet Sky informed her fans through social media that she had been added to the WrestleCon event next month in New Orleans. The show coincides with Wrestlemania 30 being in town. Several non WWE stars will be in Louisiana that weekend, including Mickie James and Angelina Love, who are working a big match for an independent wrestling company.
March 4, 2014
There are speculations now that Edge could be making an appearance at Wrestlemania 30. The former WWE champion has signed on to make an appearance at WrestleCon, which is taking place in New Orleans during the same weekend. Edge has revealed in the past that he is a huge fan of the Ultimate Warrior, who is being inducted this year.
February 15, 2014
Kevin Steen has been booked for a huge match at WrestleCon, which is taking place in April in New Orleans. The former ROH Heavyweight Champion will be wrestling Masato Tanaka, a Japanese star and ECW legend who is returning to America just for the event.
January 11, 2014
A picture of Vladimir Kozlov doing MMA, in case you're wondering what the former WWE star has been doing with his time since leaving the company a couple of years back.
March 13, 2014
Since he left WWE a couple of years back, Vladimir Kozlov has been doing a little MMA training and a little acting. Based on his Twitter account, however, it seems like his full time job is living, as he is constantly posting pictures of himself at various social functions. He posted this picture recently of himself and his attractive girlfriend.
February 19, 2014
Former WWE star Vladimir Kozlov posted a picture of himself with his girlfriend on Twitter.
December 14, 2013
While WWE was in Florida this past week, Santino Marella met up with Vladimir Kozlov to hang out for a bit.
October 30, 2013
Approximately a month after being released by WWE, Vladimir Kozlov has rebounded and found a new job in the world of professional wrestling. He has signed on with Japanese legend Antonio Inoki and his Inoki Genome Federation. He will be utilizing the name Alexander Kozlov since Vince McMahon currently owns the rights to his previous moniker.
September 3, 2011
After scouting the MMA fighter for quite some time, WWE was finally able to sign Vladimir Kozlov to a developmental contract. Since he has limited experience with professional wrestling, the company plans on sending him down to Deep South Wrestling for some training.
January 17, 2006
A lot of action took place in the main event of Money in the Bank 2014. Fans went crazy as they saw creative signature spots from Randy Orton, Sheamus, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Alberto Del Rio, Kane and Bray Wyatt. However, it was Cena, much to the dismay of online WWE fans, who climbed the ladder and captured the heavyweight championship.
June 29, 2014
To calm down the Money in the Bank 2014 audience, WWE opted to go with another divas match as a filler. Layla El and Summer Rae battled in a match, where Fandango served as the special guest referee. Fans were so disinterested in the segment that a CM Punk chant broke out. In the end, Layla caught Summer with a kick to gain the pinfall. Layla and Fandango kissed after the match, while a despondent Summer looked on.
June 29, 2014
In a rematch at Money in the Bank 2014, Alexander Rusev was successfully able to conquer Big E Langston again with his submission move. It was the typical match that you would expect from the two. There was a botched spot where Langston speared Rusev to the outside of the ring. However, the two of them more than made up for that by doing a great closing sequence.
June 29, 2014
In a match that was slightly held in higher regards than a filler match, Goldust and Cody Rhodes, who worked under his Stardust gimmick again, defeated Curtis Axel, who was sporting a ridiculous looking singlet, and Ryback. The match was designed to highlight the Stardust character. Since there was a little bit of action after the match, there is a chance that WWE could be continuing this feud.
June 29, 2014
In a very exciting match, Seth Rollins outlasted Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Rob Van Dam and Jack Swagger to capture the briefcase at Money in the Bank 2014. WWE wants to continue the war between Ambrose and the Authority, so they had Kane coming out and providing assistance to Rollins. Despite the heel tactic to win the match, the Rollins victory was actually cheered by a good amount of fans.
June 29, 2014
Since WWE needed a filler segment at Money in the Bank 2014 and wanted to showcase Adam Rose a little bit, he was given a quick match against Damien Sandow, who was dressed as Paul Revere. Match was not really all that noteworthy, and Rose got the win after hitting the Party Foul finishing move. This was a segment that belongs more on Monday Night Raw than a pay per view.
June 29, 2014
Naomi Knight was given a crack at the WWE Divas Championship at Money in the Bank 2014, but it was Paige that walked away as the reigning titleholder after a DDT and a pin. The match was designed to further the eventual split between Naomi and Cameron, who was at ringside and taking glee whenever her tag team partner was in peril against Paige.
June 29, 2014
Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso had their biggest challenge to date when Erick Rowan and Luke Harper challenged them for the WWE tag team championship at Money in the Bank 2014. The twin brothers delivered by retaining the belt. The Usos performed a double superplex on Rowan before finishing him off with consecutive flying splashes from the top rope.
June 29, 2014
In a rather surprising move, WWE had the Shield win convincingly against Evolution. Batista and Randy Orton were the first two performers to be eliminated from the main event match at Payback 2014, but both provided interference for Triple H after their eliminations. After taking a brutal beating, Roman Reigns picked up the win for his team. Many expected Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins to be eliminated during the match, but WWE opted to give them a dominant ending.
June 2, 2014
In a match designed to be the buffer between the two main event features at Payback 2014, Paige successfully defended the WWE Divas Championship against Alicia Fox via submission. Afterwards, Alicia continued her story line of going crazy whenever things do not go well for her. The audience reacted more to the post match antics than the actual match.
June 2, 2014
In a segment filled with plenty of interference from Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Rowan and Erick Harper, John Cena was able to defeat Bray Wyatt in a Last Man Standing match at Payback 2014 after Cena put Wyatt through a big black box and covered him with an even heavier box. Rumors have it that WWE will be continuing this feud and something could trigger that on Monday Night Raw this week.
June 2, 2014
At Payback 2014, Wade Barrett successfully defended the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Rob Van Dam after picking up the pin fall victory, thanks to the Bull Hammer. The performers placed some doubt in that finish when it appeared that Barrett had injured his arm while smashing into the corner post after RVD ducked away from the move outside the ring.
June 1, 2014
In a glorified squash match at Payback 2014, Alexander Rusev defeated Big E Langston via submission to continue his push up the ladder in WWE. He was able to slap on the camel clutch after delivering a big kick to Langston. Afterwards, he held the submission move on for a short period of time before Lana instructs him to let go. Rusev should be placed into a new feud this week.
June 1, 2014
In a match designed by WWE to accelerate the split between the brothers, Curtis Axel and Ryback defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust in the second match of Payback 2014. Ryback picked up the pin fall victory for his team after delivering the Shell Shock to Rhodes. Afterwards, Rhodes told Goldust that he needs to find a better tag team partner for himself.
June 1, 2014
Despite being in the airplane spin for quite a few rotations, Sheamus was able to capture the victory over Antonio Cesaro, who had Paul Heyman with him at ringside, at Payback 2014 by surprising his opponent with a small package. With the win, Sheamus retains the United States Heavyweight Championship and will more than likely be placed in another feud by WWE tomorrow.
June 1, 2014
In a match filled with quite a few over the top spots, Daniel Bryan successfully retained the WWE Championship by defeating Kane at Extreme Rules 2014. A running knee followed by a pin enabled Bryan to get the pin fall victory over Kane. Prior to that spot, Kane was put through a burning table and carried on a forklift, among other things.
May 4, 2014
Since WWE needed a Divas Championship match at Extreme Rules 2014, Paige was given the victory over Tamina Snuka after delivering her submission finisher. The segment was short and quick, providing only a couple of spots outside the ring. It basically served as a pay per view buffer between the steel cage match and the world title match.
May 4, 2014
After suffering a loss at the last pay per view, Bray Wyatt needed a victory over John Cena at Extreme Rules 2014, and he got just that. Wyatt received a heavy dose of interference from Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, but Cena still managed to overcome those odds. As Cena was walking out of the cage, a kid showed up and began singing, which provided enough distraction for Wyatt to hit his Sister Abigail finisher and walk out for the victory.
May 4, 2014
In the most anticipated match at Extreme Rules 2014, the Shield defeated Evolution. Roman Reigns picked up the pin fall victory over Batista after a Superman punch and a spear. Triple H, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose fought through the audience before Rollins took out all four of them by hurling himself from the elevated stands.
May 4, 2014
The first title change at Extreme Rules 2014 took place when Wade Barrett defeated Big E Langston to capture the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Barrett picked up the pin fall victory after delivering a running Bull Hammer finisher on Langston. A highlight of the pay per view was Langston spearing Barrett from the ring to the floor.

The Lafayette Fire Department (LFD) reports that the process of transferring chlorine from one railcar to another is still ongoing Friday afternoon at the site where a leaking BNSF railcar was capped last night.
LFD officials said they are working closely with railway officials in what is described as a "slow process" of "off-loading" the material that may be concluded tonight.
LFD Hazardous Material (HazMat) team assessed the area and realized that the smell was coming from the BNSF switch yard. They examined several railcars and found one that was releasing chlorine gas from a relief valve. A LFD spokesperson said that the employees at LUS and ABF Trucking Company were evacuated as a safety precaution. Emergency crews from Lafayette Fire Department, Lafayette HazMat Team, Lafayette Police, DEQ, Louisiana State Police HazMat, Homeland Security, and Acadian Ambulance remained on scene till 1 a.m. Friday morning.
According to an LFD release this morning, monitoring machines were deployed near two neighborhoods to assess air quality. The release explained that "residents near Hebert Road and Saucier Parkway were initially informed to shelter in place till air quality was determined." According to the release, "air quality was deemed safe in the two residential neighborhoods."
Lafayette firefighters said that they first responded to the 1300 block of Walker Road and LUS in order to investigate a strange smell reported first reported by employees of a nearby business.

There's a new/old video from 1988 from German television of the Burghausen Jazzweek, which is high quality and has some very exciting footage of Al and George Greene (a wonderful drummer who worked and recorded with Al for many years in the 80s and 90s.) Click here ...It's top of the list, right under the snapshot at top...
Al is back at the Ocean House on weekends (Fri-Sat) plus Thanksgiving Day through December 13th before returning to Europe for the winter. We are having a whole lot of wonderful times here -- it's a True Treat!
See Schedule for all contracted events.
The newest CD "Stardust" (OMCD 1208) is available online here and at performances. It is still selling well, and I can finally say "I made a quiet record !"

The category is a Grand Canyon of echoes. Somebody utters an obscenity and you hear it keep bouncing back a million times. Categories are sometimes used by a person who feels that the one he's talking to doesn't know enough about the language in which he speaks. So he uses lines, circles, and pigeonholes to help the less literate one to a better understanding.
-- Duke Ellington, "Music is my Mistress." p. 38
Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.
-- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
