An alarming amount of girls I know have cheated at one point in their life. My most recent ex told me after we started dating that she cheated on someone over the summer (Granted, it was on a guy who was trying to get her to break up with him). Still, I don't know how much I could trust someone who has...
It's sad, but so many women reinforce the, "women are all sluts" stereotype.

Puck1182:DD didn't lose much hair, just a bald stripe across the back of her head. But it's gone from jet black to light brown with red highlights. Her skin also gradually lightened up, from an olive complexion to fair skin like mine and DH's. She looks like a totally different baby now!
Both my kids were born with a ton of hair that promptly all fell out. DS1 was bald until about 1.5 yrs old, but DS2's seems to growing back quickly. I think blond babies seem to be bald for longer too for some reason... I was like 2 before my white hair finally grew. DS2 has darker hair.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Trestman, Briggs agree NFL teams learn more from scouting, TV than departed players
BY PATRICK FINLEY Staff Reporter October 3, 2013 9:06PM
Article Extras
Updated: November 5, 2013 6:31AM
Two days after being waived by the Dolphins in 2011, tight end Dante Rosario signed with the Broncos, who would play Miami a month later.
The NFL conspiracy theorist would paint the following picture: After Rosario landed in Denver, he was debriefed about every nugget of Dolphins information, from play preferences to signals to code words.
But Rosario said that wasn't the case.
"Maybe, I don't know," he said with a smile. "I'm not in the personnel meetings. This is just my perception of it.
"Maybe it's top secret — maybe beyond me."
A year later, he went from the Broncos to a division rival, the Chargers.
Once again, he said he wasn't squeezed for information: The Chargers knew enough about the Broncos from twice-annual games.
Players sharing information about their former teams happens all the time in the NFL, but it probably means less now than ever, he said.
"Especially in today's game, there's so much done on the scouting side of things," said Rosario, whom the Bears acquired from Dallas before Week 1. "There's not too much information that a player's going to be able to give that these guys don't already know about.
"Because they spend so much time watching tape, studying their personnel, that they know it inside out before we even have a chance to start practicing with them."
Quietly, on Sunday afternoon, some Bears wondered if former teammate Israel Idonije had shared some of their defensive-line calls with his new team, the Lions.
Like with the Chargers and Broncos, though, it's hard to tell where Detroit's familiarity with a divisional rival ends and one player's personal insights begin.
"What information could Izzy give them?" linebacker Lance Briggs said. "We play the Detroit Lions twice a year for as long as I've known.
"They have all the information that they need."
Coach Marc Trestman said teams change signals and code words all the time.
One main challenge, he said, is TV technology.
Network microphones pick up everything from audibles to snap counts to defensive calls. On Sunday, Eagles defenders tried to disrupt Peyton Manning's checks by screaming out the name of the pizza chain he sponsors, Papa John's.
From their couches, fans heard it live on TV.
Trestman said there's probably an overreaction to the "Spy vs. Spy" accusations.
"I don't think anyone really has an advantage," Trestman said. "Everybody is doing the same things to scout and to try to look at the tape and trying to find things. . . .
"And I don't think it necessarily makes a difference in winning or losing."
Players sharing information with their new teams isn't treasonous, either.
"I'm on another team now," said defensive tackle Landon Cohen, whom the Bears signed last week after he played for the Cowboys. "You do whatever your [new] team needs."
Defensive end Corey Wootton said he didn't think any of Idonije's personal insights affected how the Lions played the Bears.
"They kinda knew from the past games," Wootton said, "how much we stunted."
Instead, he said, Bears linemen might have indicated where they were going before the snap.
"From certain times, I think we were doing a little bit of tipping it off, with our stances and where we're looking," Wootton said. "I think the biggest thing is, usually when the offensive line hears someone making a call on the D-line, they obviously anticipate a stunt."
Left tackle Jermon Bushrod, who played for the Saints for six years, said "no one's coming to me for any tips" about the Bears' opponent on Sunday.
They don't need to.
"They see what they've gotta see on tape," he said.

Best protein skimmer ever By Gio on 12/27/2012Gio would recommend this product to a friendGuys all I have to say its the best money I put on my reef tank if anybody is thinking about getting this protein skimmer please don't think just get! you won't regret .
Best of Class By Tracey on 9/27/2012Tracey would recommend this product to a friendI have had this protein skimmer for 2 years. I have used other brands and thought they were doing a good job. This protein skimmer pulls out the nastiest, black skimmate from my 265 gallon display. The quality of materials used to produce the protein skimmer will make it an investment for years.
Love it By Wiseman on 6/18/2012Wiseman would recommend this product to a friendPulls the darkest skimate from my 350 reef tank, easy to clean, super stable and predictable tuning, and is dead silent. I love it.
Absolutely the best By Mike on 11/15/2010Mike would recommend this product to a friendAnyone into reefkeeping has heard of Bubble King skimmers and knows their reputation for uncompromising build quality and performance. This skimmer proves it in spades. Lots of attention to detail, such as the flexible rubber pads under the body and pump to make its operation virtually silent. It's obvious a lot of R&D went into the pump, and it has an adjustable venturi for optimizing output. Only 45 watts! Dual cone design makes for a especially stable foam head. Coffee-dark skimmate. Expensive, yes, but worth every penny.

Atlantic Grill
Upper East Side
- $$
Time Out says
Posted: Wed Feb 24 2010
The numberless hordes in the surrounding high-rises have to eat somewhere. That may explain the constant crowds at the 200-seat Atlantic Grill. Yet another cog in Steve Hanson's machine (Blue Water Grill, Dos Caminos, Blue Fin and others), it is cleanly designed and more posh than most nearby eateries. The food is agreeable, although it never delivers a knockout punch. Teriyaki sea bass over soba noodles is done better by plenty of other restaurants, and an intriguing-sounding maki roll of kobe beef, pineapple and jalapeño didn't live up to expectations.

As I have grown older and more reflective, I really appreciate what a great job the "Colonel" did. While I don't take the time to tell him often, I love him like, like a father—OK, very much. Recently I responded to a citizen inquiry forwarded by a city council member, and I remembered one of those life …

Traditionally, fixed income investors seeking the highest after-tax yield have tended to invest exclusively in municipal securities. That approach has often made sense, particularly during periods when interest rates were higher. However, in today's more volatile and low-interest-rate environment, we believe that seeking the best available after-tax yield and after-tax total return requires looking at all available fixed income asset classes, both tax-exempt and taxable.
In many instances, purchasing a taxable security can provide a better return than a tax-exempt security, even after paying taxes. Certain sectors within the taxable market can offer after-tax yields that are similar to or higher than comparable municipal securities. Moreover, actively allocating away from expensive asset classes to those that we feel offer better value can potentially increase the after-tax total return of the portfolio as well.
Our crossover strategy considers all available fixed income asset classes — tax-exempt and taxable, including at times high-yield, preferred and sovereign securities — designed to achieve the highest after-tax yields and after-tax returns in a way that is tailored to each client's particular needs.
An integrated approach
An integrated approach means a larger set of opportunities and greater potential for portfolios that yield more, on an after-tax basis, than a comparable all-taxable portfolio or an all-municipal portfolio. For many firms, a crossover fixed income strategy means little more than dividing the assets up between different taxable and tax-exempt portfolio managers who essentially operate independently of each other. We have one team examining both taxable and tax-exempt markets together, which we believe improves communication and relative value comparisons between the fixed income sectors and allows for optimal portfolio construction. We look at all of the available asset classes together to find out where the best opportunities are and create an optimized portfolio that seeks the highest after-tax yields.

No matter where you live, your risk for a heart attack doubles in the winter.
Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Ayman Iskander said, "Zero might not be too cold for us. But for California, a temperature of 40 might be too cold for them. It depends on how your body is used and adjusted during the summertime and the sudden switch to winter time."
Doctors can't pinpoint one specific thing as the cause. But there are several theories.The longer, darker days cause hormonal imbalances, lower vitamin D intake and increase the likelihood for depression - all factors that affect the heart. Plus cold weather takes a toll on the body.
Iskander said, "Cold temperatures tend to raise the blood pressure, tend to constrict the arteries, so it restricts the blood flow to the heart."
Doctors say the stress of the holidays puts stress on the heart. Plus, more illnesses like the flu makes the heart work harder.
Iskander said, "This basically lowers the immunity and increases the risk of inflammation. When inflammation is too high, it tends to weaken the cap that cover plaques inside the arteries and they can rupture and lead to a heart attack."
Getting a flu shot is one way to reduce the risk. Aside from a good diet, regular exercise and not smoking, the most simple advice is to stay warm and avoid over-exertion in the cold, like shoveling snow.
Iskander said, "Start going outside and gradually start to shovel. Do it for a short period of time, maybe 10-15 minutes at the most. Then, get inside, warm up a little bit, rest a little bit, and then repeat the same thing. Don't last for a long time. And don't just get out of bed and go and shovel snow immediately. That's a big huge risk."
Also, avoid drinking alcohol. Doctors say it opens the blood vessels and takes heat away from the organs, which can lead to hypothermia. Know the signs of hypothermia and seek help immediately. Most hypothermia deaths are caused by heart failure.
Also, avoid warming up too quickly.
Iskander said, "Try to avoid the temptation of drinking a hot cup of coffee or tea or smoke immediately when you come inside the house from very extreme weather because that tends to constrict the arteries and can induce a heart attack."
Finally, learn CPR. If provided immediately after cardiac arrest, it doubles a person's chance of survival. Following these few simple steps can help save a life.

Under President Obama the debt of the United States government has grown by about 50%, and now stands at close to $16 trillion. Every year, the US government spends between $1.2 and $1.5 trillion more than it takes in. Every day that financial markets are open the US government has to borrow an additional $4 billion. The pathetic fiscal cliff 'compromise' of last week has proved the most cynical students of the political elite correct in that there is not a snowball's chance in hell that Washington will ever get this under … [Read more...]
It's a mad mad mad mad world
Shinzo Abe, Japan's new prime minister, has some exciting new ideas about how to make Japan's economy grow. How about the government borrows a lot of money and spends it on building bridges and roads all over the country? If that doesn't sound so new, it is because it isn't. It is what Japan has been doing for 20 years, and it is the main reason why Japan is now the most heavily indebted nation on the planet – and still not growing a lot. Its debt-to-GDP ratio stands at an eye-watering, world-record 230 percent, which … [Read more...]
"Watching your money disappear" – Speech to senior representatives of the UK pension fund industry
Last week I spoke at the Open Forum Seminar organized by the European Pension Fund Investment Forum (EPFIF). The event was held at The Magic Circle, an organization for magicians that runs a theatre and a museum in London, both dedicated to the art of magic. Hence, the title of the seminar "Watching your money disappear." Below is a transcript of my speech. Needless to say – but I say it anyway – the views expressed below are mine and not those of the EPFIF, any of the pension funds or any other speakers present at the … [Read more...]
The death of banks – and the future of money
UK Chancellor George Osborne and Bank of England Governor Mervin King last week announced another round of fiscal and monetary stimulus measures, including steps to ease the funding for banks and allow them to extend more loans. If these measures were hoped to instil confidence they must be classified as a failure. We have lived through quite a few years of unprecedented and fairly persistent monetary accommodation and occasional rounds of QE by now, and I doubt that yet another dose of the same medicine will cause great … [Read more...]
The second crisis of socialism
The world is facing the worst financial crisis since at least the 1930s "if not ever," the Governor of the Bank of England said last week when he explained to an increasingly sceptical and weary public the Bank's decision to print yet more fiat money and use it to buy yet more government bonds. I doubt that his words or his actions will do much to restore confidence. And they will not mean an end to this crisis. What type of crisis is this? This is a financial crisis for sure. Its root causes are firmly located in money, … [Read more...]
The State – Bank Alliance
The public is mad with the bankers, and it should be. It has every right to be. But the public should be equally mad with the state and the politicians, maybe more so. In any case, these two groups are in cahoots, and the rest of us pay the price. This price comes in the form of distorted markets, artificial booms with severe busts attached to them, mountains of debt and rising inflation. The state-bank alliance is the very antithesis to capitalism and free markets. And state and banks are eager to sustain it. Let us take … [Read more...]

what to buy
Antivirus alone or security suite? Antivirus software comes as a stand-alone program, but you can also purchase it as part of a comprehensive security suite. Security suites are more expensive, but they include a range of protections, including antivirus, anti-spyware and anti-spam programs, identity-theft protection, firewalls and parental controls (see our separate report on Internet security software). If you opt for an antivirus program that doesn't include these features, experts recommend supplementing it with other components, especially a firewall and anti-spyware software.
Check the system requirements. If you are using Windows XP or later, any current antivirus software will work. If you have an older computer, however, a large antivirus software program can consume a huge percentage of your computing power and you may run into compatibility problems.
Mac owners: Find out what's covered. Many antivirus programs don't provide as many (or any) products or features for Mac users. Some multi-device software suites have limitations for Apple products but are upgrading their features constantly. Mac users should be vigilant about understanding what they're getting before they pay; discuss the issue with customer service if the information on the company's websites is unclear. This is particularly true of multi-device software suites.
Antivirus software is a recurring expense. Most antivirus programs provide updates only for one year, so be prepared to pay annual renewal fees.
Don't expect free telephone support, especially with free software. Although some antivirus programs come with free telephone support, it is rare to find this feature with free software. Even online or chat support isn't guaranteed.
With paid antivirus software, start with a free trial. AV-Comparatives.org recommends downloading a free trial of your chosen antivirus software to ensure you like how it works. Most companies offer at least a 30-day free trial.

Born in Tel Aviv in 1972. Gilad graduated with a degree in industrial design from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, Israel. His designs are functional and minimalist to which he adds his humor, elegance and sophisticated wit. He likes to deconstruct the function of an object down to the basics. Frequently starting with a found object which is then reinterpreted into something else. Gilad taught 3D Design at the Shenkar Academy of Engineering and Design from 1999-2001, during which time he developed one-of-a-kind objects later exhibited at shows. He moved to New York in 2001 and co-founded Designfenzider from where he designs, produces and distributes his works around the world. He has also been teaching at the Pratt Institute in New York City since 2006. His works are part of the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York and the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.See other lights/products from Ron Gilad
FLOS Lighting
FLOS was founded in 1962. The very same year they began producing a number of lamps that were to become classics in Italian industrial design. These first lamps were Arco, Relemme, Toio and Taccia all designed by Achille and Piergiacomo Castiglioni. As a tangible proof of their timeless design and technical excellence, these lamps continue to be produced today.
It all started with cocoon . . .In 1959 Arturo Eisenkeil from Merano, an importer of cocoon — a spray-on plastic coating produced in the United States — was tracking down possible applications for this new material. He joined forces with Dino Gavina and Cesare Cassina and set up a company to produce lighting fixtures. This marked the beginning of the long-standing association in the area of design with the Castiglioni brothers and Tobia Scarpa. The first cocoon lamps ever created were the offspring of this collaboration: Viscontea, Taraxacum and Gatto by the Castiglioni brothers and Fantasma by Scarpa. FLOS moved from Merano to the province of Brescia in 1964: At first to Nave and then to the current premises in Bovezzo. Sergio Gandini became chairman of the company in 1965. In 1974, the company became the owner of Arteluce one of the key Italian companies in the industrial design sector. Gino Sarfatti, an industrialist and designer, is the founder of Arteluce. Several models designed by Sarfatti himself have been incorporated into the product range.
From the very outset, FLOS has been characterized by its high-quality approach to lamp design and production. Many of the numerous lamps designed for the company, first by Achille and Piergiacomo, are undoubtedly some of the best-known and most successful products of industrial design. They have won awards and historical critical accolades, and are included in all the most important collections and design museums around the world.
FLOS' production will continue to be imbued with various design trends that embody their attention to leading-edge research combined with highly-efficient production, sales and communications. In 2002, the company celebrated forty years production of designer lamps.

Teshekpuk Lake
Teshekpuk Lake in northern Alaska is a unique, wildlife-rich wetland wilderness that is home to an incredible variety of migratory shorebirds, waterfowl, and wildlife. This fragile 1.5 million acre wetland complex is nestled in the Northeast Planning Area of National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A) in the Western Arctic. Encompassing 23.5 million acres, NRP-A is the size of Indiana and is the largest single unit of public land in the nation. Originally set aside as an oil reserve for the United States Navy, the Reserve has been managed by the Department of the Interior since 1976 "to meet the energy needs of the Nation," while providing "maximum protection" for fish and wildlife.
The Teshekpuk area encompasses one of the most important wetland complexes in the circumpolar Arctic. Consequently, the area around Teshekpuk Lake has been spared from oil and gas development for more than 40 years. Multiple Secretaries of the Interior from Cecil Andrus under President Carter to Bruce Babbitt under President Clinton have recognized the necessity of balancing development and conservation in NPRA and have prohibited oil and gas leasing in this most critical habitat.
This remote area has shallow-water lakes that offer high quality forage and refuge for flightless geese to escape predators. It is no accident that geese gather annually near Teshekpuk Lake by the tens of thousands; as many as 35,000 Greater White-fronted Geese and 37,000 Brant molt at Teshekpuk Lake, plus thousands of Canada Geese and Snow Geese. This area is also the primary calving ground for the 60,000 head Teshekpuk Lake Caribou Herd that returns each May and June for the abundant, high-quality forage, low levels of disturbance and insect relief. The herd is a key subsistence resource for Alaska Natives on the North Slope.
Audubon Intervenes to Protect Teshekpuk Lake
In 2006, the Bush administration attempted to open this area to oil and gas development that would have devastated this fragile region. That attempt was thwarted by a concerted campaign by conservationists and sportsmen that included a legal challenge brought by Audubon and other groups.
In the same year, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) reversed its history of protecting Teshekpuk by opening the area for oil and gas leasing. This decision ignored more than 200,000 public comments, expert opinions from biologists and wildlife managers, objections from many Alaska Natives on the North Slope, and the wisdom of four U.S. Presidents. Only an 11th hour federal district court ruling -- the result of a suit brought by Audubon and other conservation groups -- halted the lease sale in September 2006, just days before the scheduled sale. The court ruled that BLM failed to consider the cumulative environmental impacts of development in Teshekpuk Lake. In August 2007, BLM released a draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in an attempt to satisfy the court and allow oil drilling development to move ahead. The draft drew widespread criticism in public comments on the proposal. By May 2008, the Administration had relented and issued a revised EIS that deferred any oil leasing in the area for 10 years.
More recently, in December of 2012, we received great news: the BLM released its first-ever comprehensive management plan for the NPR-A, which includes Teshekpuk Lake and other critical wildlife areas. This plan protects nearly all of the places Audubon recommended, including substantially expanding the Teshekpuk Lake Special Area, making most of it off-limits for leasing and oil drilling. This protection includes the globally-significant Teshekpuk Lake Important Bird Area (IBA). Overall, the plan protects about half of the 23.5 million acre Reserve, while still allowing for the vast majority of the area's oil to be accessed and developed.
Today, Audubon continues to work to protect this unique wetlands wilderness for the birds and wildlife that depend on this fragile habitat. We will continue to work with scientists, subsistence users, land managers, and others to find a balanced approach to oil and gas development in America's Arctic.

SXSW 2014 Review: '13 Sins' Commits the Somewhat Lesser Infraction of RedundancyMovie Reviews By Rob Hunter on March 8, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Elliot Brindle (Mark Webber) is having a bad day. His hope for a promotion at work has instead resulted in being fired, and that doesn't bode well for a man with a pregnant wife and a learning-impaired brother at home. A single phone call changes all of that by offering a chance at financial freedom. The catch? Complete a series of thirteen challenges without fail and without telling anyone else what's happening. What could possibly go wrong? It starts with a deceptively innocuous challenge. The game show-friendly voice on the phone tells him to kill the fly currently buzzing around his head for $1000. Concerns over exactly how the man on the phone knows there's a fly are brushed aside, and soon Elliot's a grand richer. Then swallow the fly. Then make a little girl cry. Then do something involving a homeless man and an ostrich. It's not too long before he's moved beyond moral grey areas and started committing felonies, and the deeper he goes down the rabbit hole the harder it becomes to climb back out again. 13 Sins is a mix of dark comedy and vicious thrills, but while there are moments that surprise and sing far too much of it feels overly familiar. It's a lesser sin to be sure, but it would surprise no one if there was a special place in hell for makers of unnecessary remakes.
'Pacific Rim 2′: What Should We Expect From the Sequel?Features By Christopher Campbell on July 13, 2013 | Comments (38)
Depending on where you look, Pacific Rim is either in 2nd or 3rd place at the box office this weekend. But it should make enough money to warrant a sequel, especially with international business. And those of us who are into this new original property from Guillermo del Toro are really, really into it. There's certainly franchise potential, what with its whole background mythology (and back story, which you can find in graphic novel form). Plus it's going to at least gross more than del Toro's first Hellboy film, and that spawned a part II. There's also the fact that Legendary Pictures began moving ahead on developing Pacific Rim 2 way back in December, hiring the first film's screenwriter, Travis Beacham, to start penning another installment. In the months since, he and del Toro have been sharing some bare bits and pieces and possible ideas for what happens next. The details are thin but these teases about the direction part 2 would go in allow for some educated guessing and speculation as to what we'd see as far as more monster and robot battles. Below I highlight some of what's been officially said, some of what's been drawn from those reports and some of what we're simply hoping for with Pacific Rim 2. If you haven't yet seen Pacific Rim, there are spoilers to be found ahead. So get off the computer, go see it and then come back to read further.
6 Filmmaking Tips From Guillermo del ToroFeatures By Landon Palmer on July 10, 2013 | Comments (2)
Guillermo del Toro abides by zero perceived distinctions between high and low culture. Whether working with Hollywood popcorn properties like Blade II or Hellboy, or creating imaginative, dark arthouse fare like The Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth, del Toro has demonstrated a singular creative vision that stands out against an unimaginative Hollywood. That's why this weekend's Pacific Rim, despite being marketed as Transformers 4, promises to be a gloriously geeky respite in a summer of largely unsatisfactory blockbusters. Coupled with the recent news that del Toro might be directing a Charlie Kaufman-scripted adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five, there are many reasons to celebrate the fact that the restlessly imaginative man who introduced himself with Cronos bounced from the streamlined Hobbit adaptations. Equal parts Jim Henson, Brothers Quay, and Terry Gilliam, del Toro is a visionary who also happens to be a bankable name. That's a pretty rare commodity these days. So here's some free film school (for fans and filmmakers alike) from the guy who we've forgiven for making Mimic.
Another 'Pacific Rim' Trailer. Is Anyone Else Still Not Sold Yet?Movie News By Christopher Campbell on May 16, 2013 | Comments (23)
Another trailer for Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim has been released, just in case you're not already on board. The thing is, there's not a whole lot that's different about this new spot and the WonderConone we saw at the end of last month. You've got giant monsters battling giant robots in the sea and on land. You've got Idris Elba doing his best audition for the next rousing speeches supercut. You've got the tagline telling us to "Go Big or Go Extinct." And you've got little bits (littler this time) of the likely comic relief characters played by Charlie Day and Ron Perlman. Honestly, I'd like to see more of the character stuff. Or something else besides big creatures and the kind of action that could just as easily sell a Michael Bay movie. At least the previous trailer hinted at some themes involving the humanity inside the robots. That which make them different from the monsters in spite of them initially being noted for their equal measure — big bad weapons of defense to go up against big bad weapons of offense. Knowing Del Toro, the big ideas are probably there, but of course that stuff doesn't sell a movie to most people the way explosions and fighting behemoths do.
How A Sick Boy's Wish Might Finally Get 'Hellboy 3' MadeIn Development By Nathan Adams on July 16, 2012 | Comments (1)
Any time director Guillermo del Toro has been asked if he's planning on making a third installment in his Hellboy franchise over the last few years, his responses have not been encouraging. His general feeling is that there are just too many new and exciting things to do out there to go back to the Hellboy well for a third time. Seeing as Hellboy 2 has earned a lot of fans over the years, and there's a great big, world-ending prophecy storyline that could be tackled in Hellboy 3, a lot of people have taken these comments as being a huge disappointment. But news coming out of Comic-Con sees del Toro's tune changed quite a bit in regards to another go-around with the red-skinned one. Entertainment Weekly got the director and Ron Perlman together to talk about their latest project, Pacific Rim, and he dropped this bomb on them, "I can say publicly that now we are together in trying (to do Hellboy 3)." This was something of a shocking statement, that Perlman fleshed out by adding, "The [first] two movies were really set up to have this unbelievable resolve. Everything that was done in both movies was leading up to this destiny, written in stone, of what Hellboy has been summoned to Earth to do. To not do it, particularly in light of the scope that Guillermo is thinking of for the resolve, would be in my mind a little bit of a shame."
'Frankie Go Boom' Teaser Wants You to Look at Ron Perlman's TitsMovie News By Nathan Adams on July 16, 2012 | Comments (1)
Why should you go see Frankie Go Boom this October 12? If not to support a burgeoning talent in newcomer writer/director Jordan Roberts, do it because it stars names like Charlie Hunnam (who you might know from Undeclared or Sons of Anarchy), Lizzy Caplan (who is awesome in everything she does), Whitney Cummings (who has a lot to make up for after making us sit through her sitcom) and Chris O'Dowd (who charmed the world as the love interest in Bridesmaids and most likely has big things ahead of him). And, if all of those names aren't enough to convince you to buy a ticket, see Frankie Go Boom in order to take in just how beautiful Ron Perlman looks when he's dressed up as a woman.
Movie News After Dark: Ron Perlman, Hero; Pacific Rim, Epic; Spider-Man for Beginners and Game of Thrones with LightsabersMovie News By Neil Miller on July 9, 2012 | Comments (2)
What is Movie News After Dark? The title seems pretty self explanatory, at least where the topic of conversation and timing are concerned. You should also note that it happens every night of the week and is read all around the world. Thanks for joining in on the fun. We begin tonight's rundown with an image of Ron Perlman visiting Zachary. Who is Zachary? You might ask. He's a six-year old boy currently undergoing treatment for leukemia, whose Make-a-Wish desire was to "meet and become Hellboy." The folks at Spectral Motion, the creature effects shop of Guillermo Del Toro, and Perlman were more than happy to oblige. And here's a tissue…
Movies to See Before the World Ends: Quest For FireApocalypse Soon By Adam Charles on March 2, 2012 | Be the First To Comment
The Mayans, the wise race of ancients who created hot cocoa, set December 21st, 2012 as the end date of their Calendar, which the intelligent and logical amongst us know signifies the day the world will end, presumably at 12:21:12am, Mountain Time. From now until zero date, we will explore the 50 films you need to watch before the entire world perishes. We don't have much time, so be content, be prepared, be entertained. The Film: Quest For Fire (1981) The Plot: 80,000 years ago in the time of the neanderthal one of the most precious commodities was fire. It served to cook food, keep warm, and ownership of fire by a tribe of human ancestors was a sign of power – because at that time it was not understood as to how it could be manufactured. When one such tribe gets brutally attacked by another group they lose their flame in the aftermath. Three of the group's males (Nicholas Kadi, Everett McGill, and Ron Perlman in his first film role) break from the tribe and trek the land in search of another flame, and on their journey encounter groups of similar beings; some of which are as brutal as the creatures that attacked them earlier, and others more 'strange' to their current level of understanding.
2011: The Year Ron Perlman Silently Took Over2011 Year In Review By Scott Beggs on January 2, 2012 | Comments (6)
Ron Perlman has been a force in television and film for three decades. He's no stranger to fans, especially those he won as Hellboy and as Clay Morrow on Sons of Anarchy, and he's appeared in a handful of movies every year since 1993 (with 1996 and 1999 being the only years he appeared in only one). You know him. You love him. Now, we're ready to pronounce 2011 The Year of The Perlman because while he's worked steadily in movies small and big alike for a long time, this was the year that he really ate his spinach and showed his face in an almost absurd amount of flicks. What's more, his performances spanned the quality spectrum enough to earn him the Shyamalan Award For Bizarrely Up and Down Work. It's important to note that his acting was rock steady throughout, but even with (and with the addition of his talents), he was in some terrible (and some amazing) movies. From prestige films, to independent action, to summer epics, to that one thing with Nic Cage, Ron Perlman was everywhere doing everything.
'Bad Ass' Trailer: Danny Trejo Kicks Ass in a Fanny PackMovie News By Scott Beggs on December 27, 2011 | Comments (2)
Anytime you can't tell whether a trailer is for a real movie or a parodic lark, it reaffirms the need to give it a second or third look. That's priceless for a lower budget movie based off an internet meme. Bad Ass, a totally real, actual movie, stars Danny Trejo as a bearded man riding a bus who is set upon by local street toughs. When video of him taking their asses out to the curb goes viral, he becomes a crime fighter. It's based, of course, on Epic Beard Man – an Oakland bus rider who encountered the exact situation (including delivering a whooping and becoming a viral video star). So, why not watch the trailer and the original viral video together? Check it out for yourself, and start growing a beard for justice.
FilmDistrict is Being Sued for Marketing 'Drive' Too WellMovie News By Jack Giroux on October 7, 2011 | Comments (31)
Everyone's complained about misleading and overly spoilerific trailers at one point or another. They're all annoying, but they're trailers. We deal with them. Well, at least that used to be the case. Now one member of society who's so fed up with studios selling their movies in a "bait-and-switch" fashion is taking this very, very serious matter to where it belongs: the justice system! What film provoked her to take such an action? None other than FilmDistrict's critical and fanboy darling, Drive. Sarah Deming has filed a lawsuit — which will soon be a class action lawsuit, apparently — against FilmDistrict and the theater she viewed the film at, Emagine Novi. To her great disappointment, the movie wasn't Fast and Furious enough.
Review: 'Bunraku' Spruces Up a Bland Story With Creativity and StyleMovie Reviews By Rob Hunter on October 3, 2011 | Comments (1)
The world has descended into chaos. An artsy, color coordinated chaos to be sure, but still, society has taken a turn for the worse. To combat it the world's government bans all firearms in an effort to quell the escalating violence. The result is a fusion of the Old West and the Far East as disagreements and feuds are handled solely through fisticuffs, swordplay, and a strict code of honor. Two strangers ride into town, not on a horse, but on a train. The Drifter (Josh Hartnett) is looking for a card game and Yoshi (Gackt) is here at his dead father's request, but both men also have a secret purpose involving the town's big boss, Nicola the Woodcutter (Ron Perlman). Their dueling quests will bring them in contact with each other, but it also finds them crossing paths with The Bartender (Woody Harrelson), Yoshi's hot cousin Momoko (Emily Kaiho), the mysterious Alexandra (Demi Moore), and Nicola's red-suited army led by Killer #2 (Kevin McKidd). What follows is a storybook tale with an arresting visual style that brings comic book pages to life on a stage-like setting. It's theater for a new age that works as often as it doesn't depending on who and/or what is onscreen, but even when it fails as an engaging narrative it often manages to delight the senses with a barrage of imagery both broad and specific. It's a genre movie in cotton candy trappings, and while it runs a bit too long it's a […]

Culture Warrior: The Manly Men of Nicolas Winding Refn's FilmsCulture Warrior By Landon Palmer on September 20, 2011 | Comments (1)
Masculinity has always been the major topic of concern in the work of Danish filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn. Just look at the series he made his name with, the Pusher trilogy, which in three installments provide three very different but equally compelling stories of occasionally brazen, often buffoonish masculinity within various facets of the Copenhagen illegal drug trade. So it is no surprise that the directors latest work (his 'breakthrough' years, if you will) are continuously concerned with the turbulent lives of men, culminating this weekend with his most 'mainstream' entry, Drive (in purely box-office terms, as Drive in its opening weekend made more than 84x what his previous two films made together, yet the film is still ripe with Refn's eccentric signature). Refn's thematic and narrative preoccupation with masculinity has produced three fascinating portraits in as many years. The temporal and social contexts of Bronson, Valhalla Rising, and Drive couldn't be more disparate, but between them he's produced an unofficial trilogy of sorts connected not only through his deliberate pacing and striking, almost invasive visual style, but more importantly through their shared concerns as portrayals of three aggressive men who wander their respective environments in solitude.
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: September 16, 2011Features By Kevin Carr on September 16, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr feels the weight of the fall movie season. It's September, and while the kids are heading back to school, he's playing hooky with Sarah Jessica Parker chick flicks and yet another not-quite-70s-video-nasty remake. Kevin is consoled by the release of Drive, however, because Albert Brooks as a crime boss makes him chuckle. And his love for 3D and Disney meet head-on in a collision of awesomeness.
Review: 'Drive' Is Beautiful, Exhilarating and the Coolest Damn Movie of the YearMovie Reviews By Rob Hunter on September 16, 2011 | Comments (10)
A getaway driver (Ryan Gosling) waits as his temporary partners in crime pile in with their unspecified haul, and as the police close in behind them the driver does what he does best. Straight-faced, calm, and in control, he eludes capture through precision and restraint, and when the job's over he walks away. But what happens when walking away is no longer an option? Driver (as he's listed in the credits) meets, befriends, and falls for a young woman (Carey Mulligan) and her son who may just be the only real innocents left in Los Angeles. When her husband is released from jail and forcibly tasked to commit one last robbery to pay off a debt, Driver steps in to assist and spare mother and son any further anguish. Things do not go as planned. If the bare mechanics of Drive's plot seem overly familiar it's because they are. The character of Driver could easily be imagined in any number of westerns, samurai epics, or Clint Eastwood films as the nameless stranger who appears to skirt both sides of the law but who shows his true colors when it comes to protecting or avenging the innocent. His past is unclear but we know those gaps are most likely filled with violence, loss and more violence. And the idea of "one last job that goes wrong" has become so ubiquitous that it's a wonder Friedberg & Seltzer haven't spoofed it by now (in a film destined to be creatively titled One […]
Interview: Fetish Filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn Discusses His Pretty Woman-Inspired 'Drive'Features By Jack Giroux on September 12, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
Director Nicolas Winding Refn's first Hollywood outing, Drive, is a successful and propulsive dive into the world of commercialism. Instead of tackling a work-for-hire type of gig, the semi-auteur has stuck to his unrelenting, darkly comedic, and playful style. The director took a simple premise and storyline, and made an 80s-inspired, pop music-fueled western about a lone samurai. Does that sound like the atypical Hollywood picture? It delivers the unexpected, similar to how Refn does in person. This is the second time I've interviewed the on-the-rise filmmaker, and he's the type of interviewee that keeps you on your feet. Most of the time his responses are brief, to the point, and often odd. Sometimes that's for the better, especially since the Danish filmmaker is never at a loss for something interesting to say. Here's what the self-described fetish filmmaker had to say about Pretty Woman, treating actors as human beings, embracing his feminine side, and the ending of Drive:
Interview: Josh Hartnett Goes to Cartoonish Heights in 'Bunraku'Features By Jack Giroux on September 2, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
Guy Moshe's live-action cartoon, Bunraku, lives or dies by its cast. The poppy world Moshe created calls for a specific type of acting, and not an easy one. The film requires a sense of unrealistic cool. Josh Hartnett plays a silent, but suave cowboy, and he has to spout out some dialog you would never hear a normal human being say. With Lucky Number Slevin, The Black Dahlia, and his brief scene in Sin City, Hartnett's done that style of acting before. Here, he went about it differently. Instead of worrying about finding a grounding, as Hartnett says below, he wanted to embrace the odder tonal aspects. It bridges on cheesiness. But when one's acting against Woody Harrelson cracking jokes or Ron Perlman looking the way he does in the film, it's understandable that Hartnett would want to fit in with that scenery-chewing gang.
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: August 19, 2011Features By Kevin Carr on August 19, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr flexes his rippling muscles and sets out to live a warrior lifestyle, just like Jason Momoa in Conan the O'Barbarian. But before he can do that, he has to drive a stake through his neighbor's heart, since he's certain he lives next door to a vampire. What else could all those sparkles be about? Meanwhile, he sends his kids off to a dangerous 3D, Aroma-Vision mission, hoping they can make it as real spy kids so they can teach him to put on a fake British accent and woo a not-quite-British Anne Hathaway.
Interview: Marcus Nispel Talks Micromanaged Filmmaking and Conan The MisogynistFeatures By Jack Giroux on August 15, 2011 | Comments (4)
Marcus Nispel is known as a work-for-hire type of director. The type of filmmaker that's brought onto a project to craft a studio's vision versus his own. Coming from the world of Platinum Dunes' micromanagement, he's worked on films that are not meant for auteurs. The projects he's been a part of are calculated products, and Nispel is more than aware of it. The Friday the 13th and Texas Chainsaw Massacre remaker knows how the game goes for his franchise starter films. With Conan the Barbarian, Nispel got the chance to make a different type of blockbuster: a hard-R that features a misogynistic, barbaric lead. However, the director still was a "dog on many leashes," as he described the process. Hopefully, Nispel still managed to create a version of Conan that lives up to the idea of an R-rated tent-pole release about a barbarian who thirsts for blood. Here's what Nispel had to say about avoiding film school, making someone else's vision, and how filmmaking is like raising children:

Paul W.J. Martin productions
Catharsis (working title only - in pre-production)
Expected sometime in the distant future, 3D CGI, expected running time approximately 6 minutes
As of May 2008 I'm somewhere in the third phase of storyboarding and pleased with where the story is going. It is however incredibly difficult to get this thing off the ground: no budget, software has expired, hardware needs upgrading, etc. One day I may get this damn film into production! Briefly, it concerns a man who regurgitates an object that contains something that strikes terror into the very core of his soul (if he actually has one).
William The Cog
2006, 3D CGI, 5 minutes 46 seconds, 1.33:1
Completed in November 2006 this short animated film focuses on a character who appears to have become enslaved within a vocational system and his attempts to emancipate himself. Made over the period of a year and a half this is my most advanced production, both cinematically and technically, and is a surreal exploration of ideas regarding individuality, the relationship between a thinking organism and encompassing artificial systems, perception of identity and awareness. It features music by Michael O'Callaghan (check out his site at http://www.myspace.com/smallworksoffiction).
Public screenings so far have included the REM event at Warwick Arts Centre near Coventry, and Flatpack Festival at the Electric Cinema in Birmingham. It has also been made available for download at a couple of sites, including Creative Channel Network and The Stirrer. Oxford TV have broadcasted Cog as part of the Get Animated show, plus it was shown extensively on Big Screen in Birmingham city centre as part of BBC's Summer Film Festival. In November 2007 Cog won a small competition amongst six other short films as part of a screening at Birmingham's Mac theatre. Subsequent screenings included the Mac Gala Night, the Rainbow pub in Digbeth as part of the Shorts on Walls event, and in Stoke-on-Trent as part of the Stoke Your Fires festival.
Finally, Cog was also made available to watch via The Stirrer and ITV's online television service. My appreciation goes out to the people who permitted (authorised!) online downloads of the film. Cog can be viewed online at Youtube.
2004, 3D CGI with hand-drawn textures, 8 minutes, 1.55:1
Drifting across a seemingly endless ocean on an isolated planet, the only living being in existence discovers something floating in the dark water. He tampers with it - something goes irreversibly and horribly wrong. Cyst was made as an exploration of the cyclic nature of people's lives as well as the relationship between organisms and time. I was also thinking about the possible structure of time and, while Cyst doesn't directly reflect that, it does tap into at a basic level. Cyst features music written and played by Michael O'Callaghan (see link above).
Public screenings included the Rainbow at Birmingham (7 Inch), Warwick Arts Centre (REM), Midlands Arts Centre (Screen Test), Birmingham Library Theatre (Artsfest '05), Rome in Italy (Cortoons festival), Cornwall (Roughcut), and one or two others. Oxford TV have also broadcast Cyst as part of a their Get Animated show.
The Secret Life of Brain Cells
2002, 3D CGI, 3 minutes 49 seconds, 1.33:1
My final University film. Interested in the potential control that dreams (and therefore subconscious areas of the brain) can have over some people (violent sleep walkers for example) and concerned about the deeper-sourced power of the human mind generally, I made a film about someone who goes to sleep and experiences a world involuntarily created by his own brain, the resulting dream causing him to do something devastating in reality.
Beat Thy Neighbour
2001, 3D CGI, 1 minute 34 seconds, 1.33:1
Two creatures on an isolated world become aware of each other's existence and play a tennis-like game in order to pass the time. It's not long before they find themselves frustrated with each other, becoming increasingly aggressive. A brief examination of Man's sometimes unnecessarily violent and uncompromising relationship with his 'brother'.
Fusion (unfinished project)
2001, 3D CGI, 1 minute 12 seconds, 1.33:1
Following a successful animatic of the complete project I proceeded to create a short completely animated segment of the film itself. It was conceptually ambitious but possibly incomprehensible to the casual viewer. The narrated animatic proved to be quite popular at University and I fortunately managed to capture a similar atmosphere with this 3D short. It revolves around an organism being born in a forest hut at the same time as the birth of something else. Their growth is synchronised, he growing into a human-type character and the mysterious other 'thing' becoming an organic viewing device, while outside in the oppressive woods there are apparently hostile observers at the windows. This is the only project where I wrote the music score too.
A Bedside's Story
2001, 3D CGI, 1 minute 53 seconds, 1.33:1
A bedside table is lectured by his wardrobe father about the fate that awaits him, causing the youngster to commit suicide. A semi-humorous parable about destinies pre-determined by parents.
Heart of a Forest
2001, 3D CGI, 3 minutes 8 seconds, 1.33:1
An unsophisticated work technically, this film introduces us to a stone man who doesn't understand why he exists - the only key to his problem is a hill in the centre of the forest in which he dwells, atop the hill being a house where visible is the silhouette of someone perpetually seated at the window…
2000, 3D CGI, 35 seconds, 1.33:1
My first 3D computer animation, following a simple brief the idea was to create a short story exclusively using primitives (basic three dimensional shapes such as cubes or spheres). The story was a basic David and Goliath idea where a large 'cube' attempts to kill a small cube, with unpredictable results.
The Creation and Destruction of Life
2000, traditional (chalk), 1 minute 27 seconds, 1.22:1
Inspired by the works of Normal McClaren, this short piece consisted of a natural landscape being progressively built up using individually implemented chalk marks and, subsequent to this, the arrival of Man and his inevitable effect on the environment.
2000, traditional (drawn), 58 seconds, 1.33:1
Technically a complete mess but I learned a lot. Having just parted company with a female this was my cynical response to the mating game. Some guy overtaking a woman driver notices that she's quite nubile and permits himself to become fatally attracted, quite literally.
I Scream
1999, stop motion, 12 seconds, 1.33:1
My extremely short first 'film'. On an alien landscape, a levitating eye opens to let out a screaming mouth that falls to the terrain below. A surreal exercise in understanding how to synchronise sound with imagery.

Creating a New Trim Style on a Full Coated Shih Tzu That Is Stylish & Easy to Maintain
You've seen Pandy in our video lessons and in Melissa Verplank's book, The Theory of Five. She's that black-and-white Shih Tzu with an overabundance of long, flowing coat. In this video lesson master pet stylist, Lisa Leady, creates a totally new look for Pandy. As she has aged, caring for Pandy's long coat has gotten a bit challenging for the owners -- and uncomfortable for the dog. Lisa shows you how to create a unique trim that gives the illusion of a long flowing coat. But it's just that, an illusion. She shows you how to create this trim with a combination of guard combs, shears and blending shears. This is fun trim for a senior pet. The main goal is to make her look good while minimizing the amount of time she's on the grooming table or being brushed at home.

Big Bear Necessities
Solitary Life…Mostly
Grizzly bears tend to spend most of their time alone, with the exception of females and the cubs. Huge gatherings of grizzly bears often take place at prime fishing spots during the annual salmon run for summer spawning. During this period of time, dozens of bears gather and feast on fresh, fatty salmon, which provide necessary nutrients for grizzlies heading into winter.
Grizzly bears dig dens under rocks or tree hollows for winter hibernation. They enter the den between October and December, remaining until early spring. The protective layer of fat helps them stay warm. Female grizzly bears give birth during this winter rest, and mom and cubs emerge together in the spring.
I'll have everything
Next to polar bears, grizzly bears are North America's largest land carnivore. Grizzly bears are generalists—they'll eat almost anything. But the bulk of their diet is berries, nuts, and roots. So why are they classified as carnivores? Because the recent bear ancestors had scissors-like premolars to shear through flesh—just like cats and dogs of today. Modern bears have evolved all-purpose, flatter side teeth that are primarily good for grinding plant matter, but can also cut through meat. They also have four formidable canine teeth characteristic of many carnivores.
In some areas, brown bears fatten up on salmon they catch with their quick claws and strong jaws. These same powerful weapons allow brown bears to successfully hunt animals as large as moose.
Widespread, but rare
Grizzly bears once lived throughout most of western North America as well as the Great Plains. As people settled into bear country, grizzlies were slowly eliminated. Today only about 1,000 grizzly bears remain in the continental United States, where luckily they're protected by federal law.
Bears in mind
The bears of our imagination might be big, snarling beasts that attack at a moment's notice. That image was born, in part, from accounts of 18th and 19th century explorers and settlers who moved west across North America. Used to the smaller and generally more docile black bear of the east, explorers would use the "shoot and ask questions later" tactic on grizzly bears. But a wounded grizzly bear proved to be a dangerous and tenacious opponent, and gave the species an almost mythic reputation for ferocity. Grizzly bears will aggressively defend their territories and young. Unprovoked attacks on people are extremely rare, though.
Grizzly Bears at Brookfield Zoo
Angoon Axhi and Kootznoowoo Jim (or Axhi and Jim for short) live in Great Bear Wilderness. They are orphaned brothers from Admiralty Island in southeastern Alaska. The bears were rescued as cubs in 1995, through a cooperative effort between Brookfield Zoo and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Thanks to the zoo's excellent care, Jim and Axhi are healthy and strong, and each weighs about 900 pounds!

My Avoid and Prefer settings do not appear on the map after the Guide 19 update.
Last Updated: October 29, 2013
Categories: Milemaker
Due to dramatic changes in Practical Route data and the redrawing of maps used in SP32, we could not ensure that Avoided or Preferred segments that were once highlighted on the Guide 18 reappear after Guide 19. We anticipate, however, that more recent restrictions applied with Guide 19 information may not require users to avoid the same segments as they did in previous Guides.
