It's finally here -- Lady Gaga's controversial new video for her song 'Judas'.
The video leaked online before its expected debut on E! in America, so Gaga's team responded by officially releasing it early.
And it's definitely as wild as it was rumoured to be, with Gaga dressed up as Mary Magdalene and plenty of religious references.

New photos showing the red LG Google Nexus 5 appear, packaging included
The red LG-made Nexus 5 was photographed in its retail box. And it looks like someone got hold of quite many such retail boxes - all allowing us to see that they're containing "RED" Nexus devices (16GB) made in Korea. Certainly, this is by no means a confirmation that Google will commercialize a red Nexus. But why wouldn't it do it, right?
At the moment (as some of you may know), Google is selling the Nexus 5 in two color versions: black and white. Assuming that the red variant is real, we're hoping that it will be launched in all the markets where the current models are available.

I'm a sucker for red and this one is no exception.
10. teja171 (unregistered)
Well even a deep blue looks cool, doesn't it ? Well remember the blue HTC one ? I love it.

This is so bad photoshopped that I wonder if we need a prescription of eye glasses for authors of these "news"
7. androiphone20 (Posts: 1522; Member since: 10 Jul 2013)
photoshopped? hard to see but I agree
11. Ant34 (Posts: 193; Member since: 10 Aug 2013)
I agree. On the panda version of the phone the packaging has a front profile and side profile of the phone. This only has a front profile. Also, only the back cover is white while the front and sides are black.

Looks gorgeous !!

I still like the white over red.. but its nice to have choices

I can see this on portal
'Is this Google going after iPhone 5C?'
9. teja171 (unregistered)
fingers crossed for people who want a red nexus.
8. teja171 (unregistered)
Where is the NEXUS logo on the back side ?
13. AfterShock (Posts: 2990; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
That's what I said last time this sorry broke.
It's not shiny inlaid lettering.
14. Klamba92 (Posts: 206; Member since: 25 Jun 2012)
Yh this has to be fake Google would not leave the nexus out or have the
Logo so faint that you can't make it out!
15. milesboy5 (Posts: 170; Member since: 07 Nov 2012)
The back of the phone has red smear all over it, either a bad photoshop deal or its blocking the nexus logo...see the rear camera (normally a black ring) it has a redish tint to it.
16. Burtalmighty (Posts: 2; Member since: 27 Jan 2014)
This may well be fake. (Personally I don't think it is)
Either way the NEXUS logo is there in the image above, you can just about make out the first line of the N. It's also in the correct place, the right height above the LG branding.
(I checked against my own Nexus 5)
If you're still unconvinced, check out the news of this post on gsmarena, despite being the same pictures, weirdly the NEXUS logo is slightly clearer

Traumatic Brain Injury and Depression
Conclusions (2 of 2)
Based on the available evidence, the severity of the brain injury is not an accurate predictor of depression, suggesting the need for vigilance across all severities of TBI. While evidence exists for treatment of depression in the general population, studies involving individuals who have sustained TBI are insufficient to guide treatment for this specific population.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012) Synopsis:
I loved this fun thriller. It has been eight years since Batman has disappeared into the night, becomes, at that time, heroes to run. Assuming that the blame for the death of D. Harvey Dent, The Dark Knight has sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon, both should be a greater good. For a lie of working as a criminal in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the Dent Act against crime. But everything changed with the arrival of a clever thief with a mysterious book. Much more dangerous, however, is the appearance of Bane, a ruthless terrorist posing as Bruce Gotham provides disk of self-exile. But even if it is heading and cowl again, Batman can be no match for Bane. If you're used to watching thrillers, you'll guess a lot of the plot turns but overall I believe it deserves to be getting a lot better reviews. Overall, it was great fun.

2014 Oscar Prediction: Best Visual EffectsAcademy Awards By Scott Beggs on February 26, 2014 | Comments (1)
The horse race! The great question! The draw of history! Is there anything more exciting than the uncertainty of not knowing who will take home gold on Oscars' big night? Of course there is. Lots of things are more exciting, and there's no uncertainty here because Gravity is going to win the crap out of this award. So instead, let's talk briefly about magic. Because that's what visual effects are. Ever since the first days when a train scared people by pulling into the station, film itself was magic. The idea that you can capture the world around you and preserve it on a chemical strip has an air of sorcery to it, as it should, but we've had a century to get used to the mechanism, so visual effects have taken on the hefty mantle of casting spells. Like making us believe we're in space, or fighting a dragon, or fighting an exploding foe, or fist-fighting on top of a train, or returning to space. Here's a look at all five nominees with behind-the-scenes VFX videos to make up for my totally unsurprising predicted winner (which is in red)…
Year In Review: The 10 Best Trailer Mashups of 2013Best of 2013 By Scott Beggs on December 17, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
Trailer mashups are a beautiful diversion. On the surface they're frivolous, but they also manage to re-contextualize the familiar and shine a blinding bulb on thematic similarities. You might get fired for watching them all day (come on, Mr. Danforth!), but there's a deep power in connecting two seemingly incongruous films or accentuating the copycat nature of tentpoles. There's a wacky romance to be found in Gravity, a steampunk spectacle in an animated world, adorable Pixar revenge and much more to be discovered. If you watch all of this year's best, you'll be overwhelmed with the patterns — not just in the plotting, but also in trailer construction. There's a bit less Brrrrrwwaaaaaaam this time around, but the hero's journey is still thriving alongside the explosions. You'll also notice that pretty much no one makes trailers for Stories We Tell or 12 Years a Slave. Blockbusters are the key targets, and mixing them up with animation and nostalgia seems to be more popular than ever. Oh, and Wall-E. Trailer mashup artists love that damned thing. We like to have fun with trailers here at FSR. Even if we over-think them, hopefully you'll find something to ponder with our favorites of 2013. Or maybe you'll just laugh a lot before Mr. Danforth fires you. The guy is ruthless. I think his marriage is on the rocks or something. At any rate, and without further ado: Brrrrrwwaaaaaaam.
J.J. Abrams Realizes Lying About Khan Was a Bad Idea Even Though He Had to Lie About KhanFeatures By Scott Beggs on December 3, 2013 | Comments (2)
When Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof finalized the script for Star Trek Into Darkness, they made a bold decision (presumably under the guiding hand of J.J. Abrams) to include a twist not based on information delivered in the movie itself, but based on real-world knowledge of the series' history. When the destructive John Harrison reveals himself, in fact, to be Khan midway through the story, it's an unnecessary twist designed specifically and solely for fans who knew who the hell Khan was to begin with. In an alternative universe where the simple act of making a Star Trek sequel didn't bring Khan to every film journalist's mind immediately, it could have been a magic moment, but it was also always destined (in every universe) to be a head-scratcher for those outside the know. They didn't spend the movie building up the mythos of Khan — they spent the movie displaying how vicious "John Harrison" could be and then revealed, gasp, that he had another name! It was a reverse Keyser Soze. Just like that — poof — John Harrison was gone. Which is what makes Abrams' room temperature regret about lying to the press about Benedict Cumberbatch playing Khan leading up to the film's release all the more bizarre.
What We Want From Joe Cornish's 'Star Trek 3′: A Monster EpisodeDiscussion By Christopher Campbell on November 3, 2013 | Comments (8)
After the terribly disappointing Star Trek Into Darkness, there may be hope for the next installment in the very good possibility that Joe Cornish will direct Star Trek 3. Yesterday, Deadline exclusively reported the rumor, whatever that really means, and ever since I've been trying to imagine what this development could mean. A lot of fans of both Cornish and Trek have been debating the pros and cons of the pairing. Cornish is too inexperienced as a director, some say. He shouldn't waste his time with a franchise threequel, others argue. Well, I am optimistic for a few reasons. One is that we'll probably get more Simon Pegg's Scotty, because Cornish and Pegg go way back — he helmed behind-the-scenes docs for Pegg and Edgar Wright films and also scripted The Adventures of Tintin, which featured voice work from the actor. And maybe he could find a role for Pegg's buddy Nick Frost, who acted in Cornish's sole feature directorial effort, Attack the Block. Mostly, though, it could be a lighter, more humorous episode. Not just if that reunion happened, but because of the Star Trek stuff Cornish has done in the past. Namely the TNG parody from The Adam and Joe Show that you can watch after the jump.
10 Unlikely Halloween Costumes Based on Recent MoviesFeatures By Christopher Campbell on October 6, 2013 | Comments (2)
Welcome to my 6th annual list of halloween costume ideas. These are mostly original, yet also mostly unlikely suggestions. One thing a lot of them have in common is the fact that you'll need to explain exactly what you are, even if there is some mainstream-recognized foundation. For example, if this was a list of costume ideas based on movies that haven't come out yet, one might be "Justin Bieber as Robin in Batman vs. Superman." The basic Robin uniform would probably be easily understood, but the fact that the colors have been changed to purple, white and black, and why you've got a mop top will require the clarification that it's based on a casting rumor the singer made up. I'd like to preface this year's list by saying that I feel the past 12 months have either been uninspiring compared to other years — and/or I haven't seen the hip movies of 2013. And I didn't bother with much from the last quarter (as in post-Halloween) titles from 2012, because they all just feel like they're from a century ago. Seriously, if you see anyone dressed as Abraham Lincoln and mention Spielberg's movie, you're sure to get a reaction of "oh yeah, there was that movie." Feel free to borrow any of the following ideas for your Halloween festivities, especially if you want something that's a conversation starter. But you must send us pictures. And if you don't like my suggesions but you come up with your own very […]
Lens Flare Enthusiast JJ Abrams Has Heard Your Complaints and is Ready to ChangeMovie News By Nathan Adams on September 30, 2013 | Comments (3)
By now everyone who's a fan of film and who frequents the Internet has to have noticed that director JJ Abrams' films have their own unique aesthetic that heavily involves the overuse of extraneous lens flares. It's almost impossible to watch one of his movies and not become aware of the blinding lights, and it's almost equally impossible to talk movies on the Internet without seeing all of the memes that have been created to make fun of him for them. Don't believe it? Just look at the image that's been floating around the Internet above, or watch this supercut that College Humor did of every lens flare that appears in Abrams' first Star Trek movie. The phenomenon is undeniable. One thing we've never really known is why Abrams overuses the effect so much, or how he feels about all of the flack that his films have gotten because of it. Or, we haven't known until now, because Crave Online recently caught up with the director and, like a bunch of heroes, flat out asked him what the lens flare thing is all about. Think that's a little brazen? Even more shocking than someone asking a celebrity a straightforward question in this day and age was Abrams' response—not only did he own up to overusing lens flares, he flat out apologized to fans for it.

The Best Blu-ray & DVD Releases of the Week: The Samurai-Fueled Blaxploitation You've Been Searching ForFeatures By Rob Hunter on September 10, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
Welcome back to This Week In Discs! As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Drive-In Collection: Death Force / Vampire Hookers In Death Force, Doug Russell (James Iglehart) is a soldier on the way home to his wife and infant son, but when he runs afoul of two supposed friends he's left for dead in the middle of the ocean. Luckily he washes up on an island beach where he's found, nursed back to health, and trained in the way of the samurai by two Japanese soldiers unaware that their war (WWII) ended years prior. Vampire Hookers doesn't really need a synopsis, does it? Vinegar Syndrome's latest double feature of obscure drive-in favorites is one of the good ones thanks mostly to the first feature. At its core it's a revenge flick, but the story touches and fight choreography make it a surprisingly good time. In its uncut incarnation, aka Vengeance Is Mine!, it does for decapitations and gut slashings what Olympus Has Fallen did for head shots. Better, the numerous fight scenes are actually pretty great. And best? The ending! Vampire Hookers meanwhile comes from the same director (Cirio H. Santiago) but is a completely different beast tone-wise. It's a comedy through and through, complete with physical gags, bats on strings, and a very vampy John Carradine. The seven minute-long (but relatively tame) sex scene stands out though.

10 Other Studio-Specific Double Features We'd Like to SeeFeatures By Kate Erbland on August 28, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
As if the summer box office wasn't already glutted with more than enough blockbusters to last us right into fall, Paramount Pictures has now announced that they're bringing back two of their most plagued productions for a special studio-specific double feature to end the summer with a bang (or, potentially, a whimper). Paramount is bringing both Star Trek Into Darkness and World War Z back to select theaters for a one-week engagement (August 30th through September 5th) that will, thoughtfully enough, cost moviegoers just the price of one ticket. Both films were troublesome for Paramount in different ways – STID had to live through director J.J. Abrams' persistent insistence that his film was not a new spin on the classic Khan storyline, only for fans to discover that, well, it was. The Brad Pitt-starring World War Z had its own cross to bear – months and months of reshoots and rewrites that typically spell doom for any film. Neither film has been a true box office bust – STID pulled in nearly $460m worldwide (more than its predecessor), with WWZ making just over $526m worldwide – but is that enough for Paramount? Apparently not. But with Paramount putting together its own double feature to grab the last dollars available from an exhausted (and exhausting) summer, we couldn't help but wonder what other studios could put together their own second-run double features and, if they did, what we'd actually like to see from them.
The Best Stories of the Week, August 24Features By Christopher Campbell on August 24, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
This will go down in non-history as the week fanboys told Hollywood to argo fu… Actually, the fanboys are apparently doing more than just complaining and burning the Hollywood sign in effigy this time. There's a petition on Change.org with more than 30,000 signatures. Just imagine if in this increasingly (faux) democratic entertainment industry that the public managed to pull enough sway to actually cancel a major studio casting choice. I presume Warner Bros. would pass on the bill in the form of a mandated crowdfunding campaign in which every signer of that petition has to pledge at least a buck towards buying Ben Affleck out of the presumably already filed contract they've made for him to do not only Man of Steel 2 but a number of other Justice League franchise films. Ten bucks if they want a souvenir t-shirt. Well, that portrayal, if nobody stops it, is two years down the line. Let's focus on all the great, positively reviewed new films opening this weekend, like The World's End, Short Term 12, You're Next, Drinking Buddies and The Trials of Muhammad Ali (not yet reviewed), plus some expanding favorites all making this the best new movie weekend of the year. And in between showtimes as we spend the next two days in the cinema, let's review all the other non-Bat-news and features FSR has covered since the last Reject Recap. Below you'll find goodies on The Avengers, the Marx Brothers, Smokey and the Bandit and other awesome things […]
Interrogating Terror: The Movie Glass Prison's Post 9/11 PopularityCulture Warrior By Margaret Rossman on August 20, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
The glass prison designers of the fictional world are making bank this year. It seems that almost every action-packed superhero or quasi-superhero film features the same prominent set piece and it hasn'tt gone unnoticed: a recent meme circulated remarking on the inefficacy of the glass prison, showing the evolution of the structure on film. The image, created by Raven Montoya, stacked a number of villains captured in glass prisons on top of each other: Hannibal Lecter from Silence of the Lambs, Magneto from X2 (technically a plastic prison), Loki from Avengers, Raoul Silva from Skyfall, and lastly, the animated Stitch from Lilo and Stitch. The caption quipped, "Yes! Of course it's a good idea to put the homicidal maniac in a glass prison. I'm sure he won't get out." That the villain always escapes comes hand in hand with another trope of the glass prison—to quote the Joker in The Dark Knight, "It's all part of the plan." The villain intends to be caught in order to set his diabolical plan in motion. Charlie Jane Anders of io9 cites the Rube Goldbergian nature of the scheme as one reason for the evil mastermind to create this situation—to enhance his devious nature. She also notes a more important use of such a tactic: "You get to put the hero and the villain in the room together, without having them fight." All this would seem to be blockbuster screenwriting 101. You set up a mid-movie failure to create tension before the final […]
'Now You See Me' Producers Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman: 'You Never Want to Be Fully Satisfied'Features By Jack Giroux on May 30, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
Box-office juggernauts Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman have been writing partners for 22 years now. After spending all that time together, it's astonishing they haven't come to hate each other, but the duo have managed to sidestep any signs of spitefulness. From television to the big screen, they've covered a fair amount of ground together. Orci and Kurtzman got to put Ethan Hunt through another mousetrap adventure in MI:III, they helped bring the Autobots and Decepticons to life, and now they've done the most obvious film imaginable: suave bank robbing magicians. With director Louis Leterrier's Now You See Me, the two men are once again seated firmly in the producer's chair, where they've found themselves frequently over the past few years. This year alone they have three produced pictures being released, all of which are fairly, if not completely, high-profile projects. Now You See Me, Star Trek Into Darkness, and Ender's Game don't make for a shabby roster, and while speaking with the two men we concluded that all three represent the type of movies they love. Side note: If you missed out on our previous interview with Kurtzman and Orci discussing Star Trek Into Darkness, it can be found here. Here's what Now You See Me producers Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci had to say about their approach to producing, not being snobs, and balancing art and commerce:
Cannes, Khan, Quicksilver and 'Arrested Development' Star in the 10 Best Movie Stories of the WeekFeatures By Christopher Campbell on May 25, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
There sure was a lot to talk about with a certain summer blockbuster this week. So much that this week's Reject Recap is nearly half-filled with highlights of stuff written on Star Trek Into Darkness. And yes, the villain's name comes up. It's not a spoiler anymore. Everyone knows. And it doesn't even matter if you know or not. Just like it doesn't matter if Alice Eve has a gratuitous underwear scene or Benedict Cumberbatch has a shower scene if neither of them is otherwise an interesting character — and that's a more worthwhile debate for this particular film, too. Anyway, I've spread the Trek links a bit, giving them the even alternating slots because there used to be (no longer, apparently) that rule that even-numbered Trek films were the good ones. Anything else happen in the past seven days? Well, our man in Cannes, Shaun Munro reviewed I think 400 movies, give or take a few. Arrested Development is returning this weekend so we had something fun to share related to that. And filmmaker Sean Hackett (Homecoming) shared a personal essay in the hopes of helping bullied movie fans out there. Two highlights come from outside the FSR gates this week, and as usual I invite you to suggest great writing on film to include here in the future. Because we can't always cover everything, and I can't always read everything. Oh, and one more great thing from the past week, which we humbly didn't highlight among the ten: […]
Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci: 'Star Trek Into Darkness' Is Not a RemakeFeatures By Jack Giroux on May 21, 2013 | Comments (1)
Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci are probably two of the busiest screenwriters working today. It seems like every month we hear of a new project they're scripting, developing, or what have you (a look at their current IMDb pages includes listings for upcoming projects, from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 to that Van Helsing reboot). Their schedules have certainly stopped me from interviewing them in the past, and when their names are appearing on four high-profile films in the span of a single year, you can see why scheduling would be a bit of a problem. Now the pair has two projects coming out only weeks apart, with Star Trek Into Darkness and Now You See Me both arriving this spring. Now You See Me has a chance of being a sleeper success, while Into Darkness already opened to impressive numbers this past weekend. It's been four years since their Trek reboot, and ever since then there's been plenty of rumors over what exactly J.J. Abrams was hiding in his mystery box. With the film finally out, we spoke with screenwriters/producers about what that box contained in a SPOILER-filled discussion:
J.J. Abrams Is Using the Mystery Box All WrongFeatures By Rob Hunter on May 21, 2013 | Comments (31)
Rumor has it that J.J. Abrams is known to approach strangers, hold his finger beneath their nose while stifling a laugh and then ask them if they can tell which box it smells like. That probably isn't true, but the man most definitely loves a good mystery. As writer, director and/or producer he's been attached to dozens of films and TV shows featuring mysteries both big and small. The secret to Lost's island, the reveal of the monster in Cloverfield and the alien in Super 8, the explanation as to why Felicity cut her hair… all mysteries we eventually saw answered after a glorious period of intense curiosity. Hell, we're still eagerly awaiting an answer to what exactly he was thinking while writing Gone Fishin'. Abrams famously explained his attraction to the idea of a "mystery box" during his 2007 TED Talk, and it basically boils down his belief that "mystery is more important than knowledge." There's a semantics argument to be had there, but the core point is a sound one that more often than not gets lost in an online world used to having all of the answers and information available 24/7. People who read books don't (usually) read the ending first, so why do so may of us want to know as much as possible about the plot points, casting and cameos in the movies we've yet to watch? Abrams simply prefers as little as possible be revealed in advance of our eyeballs actually seeing his work […]
Watch J.J. Abrams, Michael Giacchino and Tim Simonec Work on the 'Star Trek Into Darkness' ScoreFeatures By Christopher Campbell on May 19, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
Whether or not you're a fan of Star Trek Into Darkness, you should take a look at the latest SoundWorks Collection shorts on the music of the film. Michael Coleman visited the 20th Century Fox Newman Scoring Stage to document some of the recording of the Star Trek sequel's score. While there he interviewed Tim Simonec, the conductor and orchestror, while also getting some footage of director J.J. Abrams and composer Michael Giacchino overlooking the sessions. Also named in the video is co-producer Michelle Rejwan as the orchestra plays "Happy Birthday" in her honor (at least I think it's in her honor since the camera is turned toward her). Behind the scenes stuff like this is always neat, and here Simonec explains some of what's different about the Into Darkness score compared to the previous Star Trek movie's music. For one thing this has more synth less choir. I also just like watching all the professional musicians. It's easy to forget about all that talent while watching a movie, especially when you wind up nitpicking at the writing and directing. While Giacchino's compositions themselves may be criticized, there's absolutely no digging at the people on the strings and horns and percussion. Their performance of the score is objectively perfect, as that job always has to be. Watch the brief video after the jump.
7 Questions Left Unanswered by 'Star Trek Into Darkness'Features By Jack Giroux on May 19, 2013 | Comments (105)
After four years of waiting and anticipation, geek honcho J.J. Abrams has finally given us the sequel to his 2009 box office and critical hit. And it is … serviceable. Abrams' new movie is as sleek and shiny as his first Star Trek picture but lacking much of its charm. The novelty of seeing these characters coming together is gone, the villain is lackluster in bizarre ways, and the high-flying pacing is absent, making many of the film's logic gaps even more head-scratching. And there are indeed some real head-scratchers. Choosing emotion and spectacle over logic can work, and it does in the last Trek outing and the first half of Star Trek Into Darkness, but this time around Abrams and his screenwriting team can't gloss over all the leaps in logic and other narrative problems. What starts off as another thrilling Abrams movie ends up turning into a mess by the end. Here are some (spoiler-y) questions which arise out of that mess:
9 Ways 'Star Trek Into Darkness' Is Too Much Like a 'Star Wars' MovieFeatures By Christopher Campbell on May 18, 2013 | Comments (33)
It's hard to watch Star Trek Into Darkness and not think about Star Wars. Yes, J.J. Abrams is directing Episode VII and so we have that knowledge on the brain going into this. Maybe we're even on the lookout for clues hinting at what we should expect from his take on that galaxy. This isn't the first time the Trek franchise has had to try and prove itself in the shadow of George Lucas's own series. Even though it originated with a TV show in the 1960s, Trek's cinematic resurrection a decade later was in part allowed by and somewhat influenced by the success and quality of the first Star Wars. But even regardless of the fact that Abrams is following the latest Trek with the next Wars, I often otherwise felt like I was watching one of the latter while sitting through Into Darkness. Before getting into the evidence that Abrams is a clear fan of Lucasfilm works (and not just Star Wars) and likes to sample from them, let's take a moment to think about what all his call back references and allusions to both Wars and Trek might mean for Episode VII. Will there be too much winking and fan-service, unhidden Easter eggs and inside jokes and maybe even outright recycling the way Into Darkness is with certain prior Trek installments? Could Episode VII have a number of allusions to Trek the way Into Darkness pays obvious homage to Wars? Rather than creating new worlds of his […]

Schmidt Brothers Cutlery wants to turn the cutlery category on its ear.
Deeming the cutlery business as dull, dry and pricey, Schmidt Brothers, which is run by brothers Jared and Jordan Schmidt and licensed to Hudson Home Group, markets cutlery that it says is fresh, innovative and design-oriented at an affordable opening price point. "There's room for more than 500-year-old German behem oths," said Rick Lapine, executive vice president and one of the owners of Hudson Home Group, referring to some of the biggest cutlery brands in the business.
Schmidt Brothers Cutlery, which launched in 2010 and debuted product in 2011, offers forged German stainless steel knives with a tweaked blade shape that is balanced and weighted and fits comfortably in the hand. It offers a variety of handle materials on several blade profiles: the stamped acacia series; forged German stainless steel; stone-cut forged with a non-stick stripe on the blade so food slides off easily; an all-steel blade with a flared handle that "forces" you into a pinch grip and stands up on the countertop; the Titan series of carbon steel blades coated with titanium; and the bonded teak collection. There are specialty pieces such as the Keramik line of ceramic blades with stainless steel handles, and a series of universal knife blocks in a variety of materials, including acrylic. Fifteen piece sets in the Titan series retail for $350 and in bonded teak for $400; open stock knives in the Titan range from $25 to $40 and in bonded teak from $30 to $50.
The Schmidt Brothers believe in an educational approach to the business that young people can appreciate. "We're bringing in a younger generation that loves being in the kitchen … People want to know what they're buying and how to use it," Schmidt said. "We wanted to present that as a brand." The company conveys that message in a fun quirky way, with You Tube videos, for instance, that show the cutlery in use with names like "Tango with a Mango."
The brand has gained traction at retail. It created an exclusive line for West Elm and is also sold at Bloomingdale's, specialty stores and a big box store. schmidtbrotherscutlery.com
Welcoming Another Strong Year
Welcome Home Brands, now in its second year of operation, has significantly penetrated a number of national and regional key accounts since this time last year due to its spring introduction of peg-able bag packaging and a floor display merchandiser, said Richard Aslanian, co-founder and co-CEO, with Sam Sheppard. As of this fall, the paper bakeware company's products can be found at mass merchants, specialty stores and just about every place in between. Both high-end and mid-market grocery chains have picked up the line, and two department stores are about to roll it out, Aslanian said.
He credited the success of the brand with its affordability—retail prices start at $4.99 and go up to about $12—and the product's convenience; you can bake and serve in the paper bakeware. "A lot of people do baking and gifting," Aslanian said. "It's caught on." welcomehomebrands.com
DKB Household USA Corp.
Fresh food, healthy living and cooking at home are among the trends DKB Household USA Corp. continues to focus on for new products, which bodes well for its brands. "Zyliss and Cole & Mason are both at the forefront of these trends, especially as the consumers also expect quality, convenience and value at the same time," said Will Symonds, president, DKB Household USA Corp.
DKB continues its push into the U.S. market, growing its market share in all of the channels it operates in, said Symonds. "This is our third successive year of double digit top-line growth in the U.S."
The company's strengths lie in its core gadget business, as "the trade and consumers respect our quality and functionality," he said. Over the last three years the company has grown through expanded distribution of its core lines, development of innovative seasonal gadgets and products related to healthy eating, as well as expanding into new categories, such as cutlery under Zyliss.
Zyliss also enjoys a high consumer awareness in the U.S., he added. "We are excited about the future plans and potential for the brand going forward." This year, the brand added such products as the 3 in 1 Grater, 2 in 1 Handheld Slicer and the Smart Clean Chopper—"all three of these items demonstrate the core Zyliss brand attributes for easy use, easy clean and easy to store that we know our consumers love."
Cole & Mason also continues to gain market share, he said, and "has been a huge success for us over the last three years in the U.S. market." Its Ken Hom line of woks has also done very well.
And more brands are sure to come. "Our parent group is always looking for suitable investments and acquisitions to add to our existing portfolio of brands," he said. "Expect to see [DKB] enter new categories in the coming seasons." usa.zyliss.com
Infusing a Business with Fashion and Innovation
Epoca International, the Boca Raton, Fla.-based parent company of Ecolution and Primula, has experienced annualized growth of 25 percent over the past four years, a success Executive Vice President Brian Melzer attributes to a commitment to design and innovation.
The goal is to keep existing categories, such as non-stick cookware in Ecolution and tea ware in Primula, fresh and to push forward with innovation into new categories. Primula, for example, entered the infusion market this year with its Flavor It pitcher, a complete beverage system that comes with three removable cores, one for brewing coffee or tea, one for fruits or vegetables, and one filled with a keep-cool gel, allowing a consumer to brew black tea infused with mint and then keep it cool while on a picnic.
"We launch with partners who want to tell the story without discounting," Melzer said. Bed Bath and Beyond featured the Flavor It pitcher in 18 feet of window space in its Manhattan store on Sixth Avenue earlier this year and conducted demonstrations and gave out infused samples. "By allowing the retailer to tell the story it got consumers interested in innovation," Melzer said. "Now they're telling their friends about it," via Facebook and other means.
The company works on extending its product life cycle through design and utility patents as well. In 2009, it launched the Hydrolon cookware collection with a water-based non-stick surface. At the 2013 International Home + Housewares Show it will launch Rejuva, a premium non-stick cookware line, also with a water-based formula, whose release, Melzer promises, will last for years. It is also adding a fashion component to the line with matching matte colors on the non-stick surface as well as the exterior of the pans. The same fashion know-how will be applied to the new Push and Serve tea kettle from Primula. epoca.com
Focusing On Bakeware
While all of Mastrad's eight product categories perform well for the company, it's the baking and desserts group that will receive extra attention this coming year.
"There's a lot of bakeware on the market," said Tim Morgan, executive vice president of sales and marketing. "But ours is premium." Its silicone bakeware even has a patent on it, as the handles have nylon on them for rigidity so the product is easier to handle when placing it in the oven, preventing spills, he said.
Next year, a mini theme will be part of the product introductions, including bakeware for tartlets, brownie bites and more, as well as more pastry items. "There's definitely a need for it," and Mastrad wants to be more of a resource for that category, rather than only having one or two items, he said. "You are branding the product more."
Complementing the company's bakeware category is its brand new website, bakingwithmastrad.com. Launched two months ago, it's the first site that focuses on only one of the company's categories and offers product information as well as recipes for consumers. The company will also debut packaging for its bakeware.
One of the things that separates Mastrad from other housewares companies is its design and innovation, he said. Founder Mathieu Lion tells him that the company's team of engineers and designers in Paris come up with a new design every week, and it could be in any category—"nothing's off the table." mastrad.us
Keeping It Cool
It keeps wine chilled, but the Corkcicle's initial reception was anything but, after launching to the trade in the summer of 2011. Though the company had only prototypes to show at the Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market that July, "we got great reviews," said Eric Miller, partner—and more than 200 new accounts. The next month, founder Ben Hewitt, partner Stephen Bruner and Miller had a similar experience at the New York International Gift Fair. "We had great out-of-the-gate results."
The product was "created out of necessity" by Hewitt, a lover of white wine. Hewitt wanted an easier way to keep his liquid chilled while he was sitting outdoors—without going back and forth to the refrigerator—and the Corkcicle was born.
Made of a BPA-free plastic with a food-grade nontoxic freezable gel inside, the Corkcicle looks like an icicle topped by a real cork (originally the top was plastic). And it's not only intended for white wine but red as well, as the room temperatures are usually still too warm to serve red, Miller said (the website gives the proper serving temperatures for a variety of wines).
The product has evolved since its introduction. Besides using real cork to top it, the packaging has also been enhanced. In addition, the company added colors to the Corkcicle, using six hues in plastic to top the Corkcicle. corkcicle.com
Products with Pop
Zoku, producer of the patented Quick Pop Maker, describes itself as "a collective of creative individuals who create things that will make our lives better through intelligent design and engineering."
The Quick Pop Maker, the company's first product launch, is a prime example of this group's creative energy at work. This product freezes ice pops in as little as seven minutes right on the countertop, without the use of electricity. It makes striped pops, yogurt pops or pops with flavored cores, in which the user can add fruit, candy or nuts.
Each Quick Pop kit includes six durable and reusable plastic pop sticks, each with unique ridged designs that allow pops to adhere securely, and with special drip guards to reduce the mess of eating. The user first creates a mold in the base unit and puts it in the freezer for 24 hours. He or she then removes the base and places the pop sticks inside the mold, and then pours juice into the mold.
A specially designed Super Tool helps to quickly release the frozen treats from their molds. The unit can make up to nine pops before refreezing the unit again.
Since the debut of the Quick Pop Maker in 2009, Zoku has let fly with two extensions to the line: the Duo Quick Pop Maker, with a more compact design than the original; and the Single Quick Pop Maker, which makes Quick Pops one at a time.
In the meantime, the original Quick Pop Maker has garn ered a number of honors. In 2010, it received an IDEA Silver from the International Design Excellence Awards, and an Excellence in Housewares Award as the top took and gadget in the United Kingdom. Last year, it received the Good Housekeeping VIP (Very Innovative Product) award. zokuhome.com
Drink and Be Merry
For more than 50 years, ThermoServ has been a pioneer in the insulated drinkware industry.
The company opened for business in 1956 by offering a black and gold coffee carafe. This product remains in the line to this day, a fixture in many restaurants throughout the country.
Beginning in 2002, ThermoServ expanded into insulated and single-wall drinkware. It has since established a leadership position in refillable, insulated drinkware, produced with double walls and foam insulation to maintain the beverage's temperature. ThermoServ products are now distributed by way of mass retailers, convenience stores, the health-care market, coffee shops and college stores.
Of particular note is the company's line of customizable drinkware. ThermoServ offers tumblers and mugs that can be customized with pictures or logos, which can be used for promotional giveaways, corporate events, executive gifts or recognition awards.
ThermoServ strove to underscore its market position in 2011 with the acquisition of PolySub from Sattler Cos. PolySub is a polymer that is used in sublimation transfers, a process involved in the permanent printing of images on products such as drinkware.
The acquisition underscored ThermoServ's mission to continually improve its products' quality. Jay Rigby, the company's CEO, said at the time of the PolySub deal, "We are committed to continuous innovation and outstanding service to maintain our position as a leader in plastic manufacturing and decorating, all of which provides our customers with quality products, unique designs, service, easy accessibility and economic freight dispersion." thermoserv.com
Container King
From its beginnings as a vendor of seasonal products, HMS Manufacturing has expanded into a significant player in the markets for laundry products, home-organization merchandise, storage products, waste products, and kitchen and sinkware items.
The company was founded in 1987 and spent its first 11 years in business focused on the seasonal business. It began to expand beyond this frontier in 1998 when it offered private-label laundry products through Kmart. The Kmart relationship extended further in 2000, when HMS was tabbed to manufacture wastebaskets and laundry products under the Martha Stewart Everyday brand.
In the succeeding dozen years, HMS has further grown both its product categories and its brands. Under its own stewardship are the Home Logic brand of laundry products, including baskets and hampers, and the Poet line of merchandise for laundry and closet organization.
HMS has added to its branded offerings through license agreements as well. Since 2009, the company has held the license for Hefty storage and waste containers. It debuted a complete line of Hefty-branded indoor and outdoor wastebaskets. The following year, HMS grew this program with the launch of Hefty Clear Storage Containers. hmsmfg.com

"Now we are powerless spectators, just watching our mother die," said Mr. Ndayishimiye, 33, who teaches health information management at the State University of New York's Institute of Technology in Utica. "In our culture, we would never sentence a person to die from hunger."
Decision-making on behalf of patients in persistent vegetative states is always a delicate matter, especially if, like Ms. Nyirahabiyambere, they have not left a directive. Her case, which has received no public attention, underscores the thorny issues that arise when a severely brain-damaged person's life is sustained by medical technology.
With thousands in persistent vegetative states, the issues regularly surface in hospitals and courtrooms — what constitutes "futile care," what power should doctors or lawyers have to stop treatment and what role should financial considerations play.
In Ms. Nyirahabiyambere's case, her immigration status adds another layer of complexity.
With less than five years in this country, she is ineligible for the Medicaid coverage that would have paid for her to live indefinitely with a feeding tube in a nursing home. As her children see it, her life is being cut short because she is an indigent immigrant. "It's all about money," Mr. Ndayishimiye said.
But her guardian, Andrea J. Sloan, said that prolonging the life of "someone profoundly vegetative" would be questionable even if insurance were available because palliative care is more appropriate. "The essential question of the feeding tube has nothing to do with nationality or payor source," she said.
Arthur Caplan, director of the Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania, said the case underscores that "end-of-life decisions have to be treated with great sensitivity — and, ideally, with families fully involved and respected."
He added: "Any hint that withdrawing treatment might be linked to financial considerations — that's a huge ethical no-no. That's death panel stuff."

Yamuna Bhaskaran | Bloomberg Law MVP Lanes, LLC v. RI Hispanic Bancgroup, LLC, No. 11-cv-02402, 2011 BL 259306 (D. Md. Oct. 7, 2011) As part of a plan to build a bowling and entertainment complex in Maryland, MVP Lanes, LLC, a Maryland limited liability corporation with its primary place of business in Maryland, entered into a financing deal with RI Hispanic Bancgroup, LLC (RIH), a Rhode Island limited liability company with its principal office in Rhode Island and a home office in Massachusetts. RIH's sole owner and alter ego, Martien Eerhart, represented to MVP that RIH had a direct banking relationship with Bank of Nova Scotia (Scotia Bank) and offered to have the bank issue $65 million in credit to MVP. Pursuant to a written agreement, MVP deposited $90,000 into what it believed was an Interest Only Lawyer's Trust Account (IOLTA) selected by RIH and was subsequently told by RIH that Scotia Bank issued the credit. Despite repeated inquiries, RIH failed to provide proof that the credit had been issued. In fact, the account in which MVP had deposited the $90,000 was not an IOLTA, Eerhart had no relationship whatsoever with Scotia Bank, and both the funds and the purported escrow agent were gone. MVP subsequently sued RIH in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, and RIH moved to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction, arguing that it "maintains no offices in Maryland, no employees or agents in Maryland, owns no property in Maryland and made no in-person contact with any Maryland resident to solicit a business relationship." According to the Court, however, RIH "used electronic messaging, telephone calls, letters, and text messages" to reach Maryland and MVP to discuss and enter into a contract with MVP. Noting that "a defendant's physical presence is unnecessary" to establish personal jurisdiction, the Court observed that "[a]s technology has evolved, so have the standards." Because RIH "reached into Maryland and took $90,000 from a Maryland corporation without subsequent performance of the . . . agreement," the Court held that it "purposefully directed its activities toward Maryland," justifying the exercise of personal jurisdiction under Maryland's long-arm jurisdiction statute, Md. Code, Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 6-103(b)(1).

SHERIFFS: MOTOR VEHICLES: County Board has authority to specify color of Sheriffs squad cars. Minn. Stat. §§ 169.98 subd. 1 (a); 375.18 subd. 2; 387.29 subd. 2.
June 9, 1999
Ross E. Arneson
Blue Earth County Attorney
Government Center
410 South Fifth Street
P.O. Box 3129
Mankato, MN 56002-3129
Dear Mr. Arneson:
In your letter to Attorney General Mike Hatch you submit the following:
The Blue Earth County Board of Commissioners (hereinafter "county board") has informed the County Sheriff (hereinafter "sheriff") that it wants the sheriff to order white squad cars. The sheriff wants to order brown squad cars. The sheriff has threatened to appeal his budget under Minnesota Statutes section 387.20 unless he can order brown squad cars.
You ask the following:
Who has the authority to specify the color of the county squad cars, the county board or the sheriff?
Minnesota Statutes § 169.98, subd. 1(c) (1998) requires that the motor vehicles of the county sheriffs office be predominantly brown or white, but does not specify who has the authority to choose the color. In our opinion the county board has the authority to specify the color of the county squad cars.
Each county board in the State of Minnesota has the general power to manage the county property, funds, and business unless it is otherwise provided for. Minn. Stat. § 375.18, subd. 2 (1998). This authority generally extends to making determinations concerning the facilities and equipment to be acquired for use by county officials. See e.g., Curtis v. Lincoln County, 161 N.W. 210 (Minn. 1917) (county boards duty to provide a jail includes the duty to determine its construction and equipment); Op. Atty. Gen. 785, September 1, 1950 (decision whether to furnish radio broadcast equipment).
On the specific subject of motor vehicles, Minn. Stat. § 387.29, subd. 2 (1998) provides that "the board of county commissioners . . . may furnish to the sheriff of the county such necessary motor vehicles and supplies therefor as are needed to carry out the duties of office." This language has been interpreted as recognizing broad discretion in the county board in the matter of deciding what "vehicles and supplies" will be furnished to the sheriff. See Op. Atty. Gen. 390a-11, Dec. 5, 1966. This broad discretion would seem to include authority to choose the color of the motor vehicles. That authority may be distinguished from Minn. Stat. § 387.03 (1998) which states that the sheriff can purchase boats and other equipment when authorized by the county board. That statute appears to give the sheriff the authority to decide which boats and "other equipment" to purchase, including the color, but requires the sheriff to obtain approval from the county board.
We were unable to find a Minnesota statute that provides that anyone other than the county board has the authority to decide the color of the county squad cars. There is language in section 387.29, subd. 2, however, that suggests that the county board might be expected to grant some deference to the views of the sheriff when deciding the particulars of the squad cars. The statute gives the county board authority to furnish the sheriff with "necessary motor vehicles . . . as are needed to carry out the duties of office." We would assume that the sheriff would have valuable input on what type of motor vehicles are needed to carry out his duties.
In summary, it is our opinion that the county board has the ultimate legal authority to decide the color of the sheriffs squad cars, but should take into account the views of the sheriff when making this decision.
Very truly yours,
Assistant Attorney General
