New pictures show ongoing repairs at Dawlish railway line
Posted: March 12, 2014|
Engineers are working round the clock to repair the storm-wrecked railway line at Dawlish in Devon.
Two hundred Network Rail (NR) engineers are working at the site during the day and a further 100 at night.
A storm in early February led to a huge breach in the sea wall at Dawlish and severely damaged the coast-hugging track, causing the section of line to be closed.
Then, more bad storms on February 14 further enlarged the breach, putting back the expected reopening of the line from around mid March to mid-April.
But NR was able to subsequently announce that the line would reopen on Friday April 4 in time for the Easter holidays.
The main 300ft-long breach has been repaired with nearly 5,000 tonnes of concrete and 150 tonnes of steel, and a new 600ft-long section of track has been ready-built for installation.
Meanwhile, NR has announced that work to reopen a section of the Hastings to Tonbridge line in southern England following a major landslip is going to take longer than expected.
Train services have been unable to run between Battle and Robertsbridge in East Sussex since early February. NR had hoped to restore services last week, but the company said additional strengthening work was now needed following further movement of the landslip.
NR said it was "difficult to accurately predict the work required and how soon this stretch of line can be brought safely back into use".

Covert Affairs Review: Phone-a-Friend Lifelineby Carla Day at . Comments
Since Henry was released from prison and reinstated at the CIA, his personal mission and reach has continually become more clear.
For someone recently out of jail, he's incredibly well-connected and has been able to operate without any interference from the agency. That has made him dangerous and difficult to predict.
When Calder was installed as the Head of the DPD, it was natural for Annie and Auggie to wonder how he managed to get the assignment. As almost everything they are dealing with, Calder has a connection to Henry. That immediately made Calder a questionable character and someone to be extra careful around.
In "Here Comes Your Man," Calder attempted to cut off Annie's lifeline to Auggie during her mission to Vienna. Calder's decision to run Annie's operation himself was suspect. Was he setting Annie up? Working an angle for Henry? Or does he have another play?
Despite Auggie's concerns, Annie agreed to go to Vienna and complete the mission. Even though she initially wanted to comply with Calder's restriction on her talking with Auggie, she quickly abandoned that when the new handler held back pertinent information from her.
Because Annie initially asked Auggie to go along with Calder's request, he came across a little like a possessive boyfriend who didn't believe that Agent Annie was capable of working without him. It was unbecoming, though ultimately he was right to worry about Calder. The initial intel he got on Stavros was just another tie to Henry that signaled something wasn't right.
Annie proved that she's become an excellent undercover agent through this mission. She sold her cover to Stavros, held her own when he tried to double-cross her and then got him to sell the missiles through her and all over a few days. However, Calder proved to be worthless as a handler. It was Auggie that provided the information and support that she needed.
Auggie's decision to call on Teo to act as the missile buyer was solid. The Colombian had the perfect cover to help Annie, but in the end it backfired on them. Teo has been focused on his own undercover mission for so long that he can't see anything outside of that. Stavros was willing to arm the ALC, which Teo couldn't allow that to happen so he killed the weapons dealer.
Teo's actions left Annie in a precarious position. She came up with a cover story, but Calder didn't seem to buy it especially when five missiles were missing. What happened to them? I was surprised that neither Annie nor Auggie considered that Teo took them. Stavros could have misrepresented the number of missiles, but that would have been found out and that would have been a big risk.
Teo has proved that he's unpredictable. With five missiles, he could use them to try and take out the ALC. Annie trusted Teo, but she should be questioning that given Teo's recent actions. And Auggie has good reason to question Teo's motives and judgement given their history.
At this point, it's a good thing that Annie and Auggie have each other so they at least have one other person that they can count on. The Campbells are probably worthy of their trust, too, but others at the agency could be working with Henry, including Calder. And Teo is a wild card.
The conspiracy continues to get more and more complicated. Who can be trusted? And who is playing whom? At least Henry isn't omnipotent. After his meeting with Annie, someone was following him. My guess is that it was the woman who met with Arthur in the garage in the season premiere. Perhaps, there are a few more allies working against Henry after all.
What happened to the missing missiles? Should Annie and/or Auggie have guessed that Teo took them? Who was following Henry? Could he have a weakness to be exploited?

@excited fan. It was only last season that jai's died in the season premiere or may be not. Anyway, if she killed him, what was her reason?? And why then henry thinks it was Arthur? It does not seem as if this was properly resolved or something.
I reserve my judgment for Calden. he is a smart and ruthless guy. He cannot be THAT obvious. I suspect he sent the rookie to Annie hoping she would draw teo out. We'll see what is his real agenda. he does not trike me as unpatriotic
Jai was killed by Lena because e was getting to close to figuring out Lena was a mole. Lena said it herself when she was talking to Annie in the cabin in the woods right before Annie killed her. That's why i am confused as to why Henry is blaming Jai's death on Arthur. Does anyone else have any insight on why Henry blames Arthur?
I may have the plot all wrong - but, I thought Jai was killed by Annie's female nemesis a couple of seasons ago?? Calder is bad, bad news and I don't know why Annie is doubting for a second that he isn't. Unless there is a hidden twist in the plot, Calder is out to get Annie and anyone else Henry orders him to. Neutral on the Annie & Auggie union. It seems like it was inevitable after both of them finished their string of other companions - especially Annie.
i do not understand people. The relationship between Auggie and Annie is awesome. Those are two adults wanting to be together and working around that. I think as Fitch said, either we are moving forward with the plot, either we are alternate. Henry is a bad guy, though. he needs to be taken down. Also, Is it me or there was really no explanation for Jai's death and who killed him???
This show jumped the shark early in the season. Enough with the conspiracy theory. Too much talking as they try to explain what is going on off camera. I much prefer Annie as operative surprising her opponents with her skills and Auggie just an unfulfilled crush.
There was one big thing left out - Calder shoots Annie, calls Henry and reports her dead. That was part of it. We know, from that Calder is absolutely part of Henry's conspiracy. The story is good, and has me very much focused on the next episode, but it bothers me that we have all this conspiracy, international intrigue, and killing in service of little more than Henry's personal agenda for revenge. This whole Henry thing has displaced pretty much everything Annie was doing to serve the country. It's like office politics gone nuclear on steroids. I'm disappointed there doesn't seem to be much in the way of higher purpose, greater good here. The first three seasons the 'greater good' was there. Now, seldom as more than an afterthought. I find that disappointing. The program used to be more than office politics with guns.

Big Bang fireworks moved to Thursday
Updated On: Jun 25 2014 11:38:52 AM CDT
Humidity and fog along Milwaukee's lakefront have forced Summerfest organizers to reschedule the Big Bang fireworks show to Thursday.
The music festival is unaffected and will open at Noon Wednesday as planned.
Summerfest, WISN 12 and Menards planned to present the Big Bang at 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, but weather concerns have forced officials to move the fireworks back by 24 hours.
The best available forecast data indicates limited visibility late today at Milwaukee's lakefront. The safety of the Bartolotta Fireworks crews is also important, and the compromised visibility could contribute to safety issues.
Summerfest organizers said "to provide the best opportunity to put on the very best show," the fireworks display will be moved to Thursday night.
The Big Bang, which is being coordinated to music by Bartolotta Fireworks, will now take place Thursday at 9:30 p.m. It will be televised on WISN 12 News at 10:30 p.m. Thursday.
The Menards Best Seats In The House VIP party is also rescheduled for Thursday at the same location.

Practicing Perfect Punctuation is really appealing when students design their own challenging games. Engage language learning that's sure to hit the mark!
How sure are students about when to use which punctuation? After having some practice using correct punctuation, students are ready to make a game to challenge each other's skills.
With two or three classmates, students design a board game to help each other use Perfect Punctuation. Ask groups to consider: What punctuation marks will you use? What game strategies could make the game interesting? Will the game have a theme? Teams agree on the basic design of the game before starting to make it.
Making the game board: On white foam board, use Crayola® Washable Markers and Crayola Erasable Colored Pencils to draw a game path from start to finish (or whatever strategies the game will use). Group members colorfully decorate the entire board.
Students make game pieces with Crayola Model Magic. Shape periods, exclamation points, commas, and question marks. Colons, quotation marks, and semicolons could make the game even more challenging. (And what about parentheses or brackets?)
Use Model Magic to make dice and any decorations for your game such as a swamp or a bridge. Are there punctuation marks on the dice? Dots? Colors? Air dry game pieces overnight.
Glue stationary pieces to the game board using Crayola School Glue. Air dry flat.
Cut out cards from recycled file folders or poster board if the game needs these. Students write instructions or sentences on the cards with colored pencils.
Teams spell out directions for their games. Who goes first? How will players move forward? How do players demonstrate their knowledge of Perfect Punctuation?
Student teams try out their own games. Make any adjustments needed so that it's fun to play — and challenging.
Exchange games with classmates and play Perfect Punctuation.

21.07.06 - By Chris Morris: Tony Holden Promotions will look to bring some respectability back to the ESPN Friday Night Fights. Following the JewBoy Promotions debacle from Colorado Springs and then Lion Hearts lack of a doctor which lead to yet another Cintron-Estrada replay being broadcast, the fight series and ESPN staple looked to be taking a knee. Holden and matchmaker Bobby Dobbs have put together a great line up of fights that should provide some very fan friendly fights to buoy ESPN up before the end of the 10 count. The fights will be broadcast live from the Million Dollar Elm Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma..
The main event will pit a prospect making the transition to contender in Allan Sweetness Green against another contender of sorts in, former participant of the television reality series The Contender, Minnesotas Tony Bonsante. The co-main will see Jameel McCline as a measuring stick of the progress of once beaten heavyweight prospect Terry Smith. Undercard action is headlined by a couple of showcase bouts featuring another heavyweight prospect, power punching JD Chapman who has 20 knock outs in 23 wins and local Tulsa based welterweight prospect Isaac Mendoza.
This main event was a bout that was supposed to take place on April 26th but Bonsante pulled out with a training injury. Green, 20-0, 14kos, fought last minute replacement and former sparring partner Donnie McCrary in what turned out to be an eye opening experience for Green. Green hurt McCrary in the third round and looked to close the show. He came in with his hands low, loading up for the perfect punch to score another devastating knock out ala his 2005 KO Of The Year over Jaidon Codrington.
The punch was thrown and landed with the expected result, the problem was in the fact that it was McCrary who put Green down and nearly had him out. Green beat the count and was saved by the bell. He used the fourth and fifth rounds to get his wits and bearings about him before crushing McCrary with a left hook ending it in the sixth.
Before the bout there were talks of Green taking on Welsh World Champ, Joe Calzaghe. Green mentioned in his pre fight interview that he would like to travel to across the sea to take on that English chap, Joe Calzaghe. There was no such talk following the fight.
Green is a confident fighter to say the least and borders on the cocky side. He chalks the McCrary Scare up to a lack of motivation in getting up for a guy like McCrary.
Talks have now switched to fighting the man Calzaghe dominated, Jeff Lacy, in Lacys first bout back.
Green must be very impressive against Bonsante tonight in order to set the table if you will for the Lacy fight.
Bonsante, 26-7-3, 15kos, last fought in The Contender finale episode against intra-show rival Jesse Brinkley. Brinkley won a very controversial five round decision that most felt should have gone in Bonsantes favor. Bonsante captured the hearts and imaginations of boxing and The Contender fans becoming Boxings #1 Dad during his run on the show and will have plenty of supporters against the brash, trash talking Green.
Its easy to find a soft spot for a family man who is doing it all for his children. It might be a little harder to find for a man who was plugging a used car lot while Codrington was in seemingly very bad shape on the floor.
The contrast in personalities is exemplified by their styles in the ring.
Green is a former amateur champion who is blessed with phenomenal athletic abilities, speed and power. Bonsante is a blue collar type of fighter who gets by on hard work, dedication and grit. Green is a boxer/puncher who stalks his opponents looking for the highlight show style knock out all the while imposing his will. Bonsante is a grinder who wears an opponent out over the course of a bout trying to score points and win rounds along the way.
Green knows that another McCray Scare type of mistake could put an indefinite delay on his rise in the ranks that he hopes will be ending in a world championship shot and the respect and money that come to follow.
Bonsantes The Contender fame can only last so long, a win here brings a few more good paydays before calling it a career. A loss and he slips under the radar, permanently.
Both men have a lot to lose and will surely be putting it all on the line in tonights main event.
The co-main will see Terry Smith, who comes in at 28-1-1, 18kos, against Big Time Jameel McCline, 37-6-3, 23kos, who will provide the necessary test needed to pass Smith from prospect to contender. Smiths sole loss came at the hands of Calvin Brock, who coincidentally won a unanimous decision over McCline. A win here will further solidify Smiths contender status while a loss will see him written off as a pre-tender. McCline is coming to the end of his career. A win leads to another decent payday, a loss could cost him more than money. It might end his career.
Both men know and realize the consequences of this fight and both men will be fighting as though their careers depend upon it. Which in all honesty, they do.
The undercard is anchored by an undefeated heavyweight, JD Chapman and a local prospect, Isaac Mendoza in bouts that will showcase their respective sets of skills.
Chapman, 23-0, 20kos, will take on Chris Lewallen who has only 12 fights and 9 wins. But all nine of those wins have come by knock out. This bout will be boxings version of the home run derby as these two will be swinging for the fences as long as this one lasts.
Isaac Mendoza, 15-1, 5kos, faces Jonathon Nelson, 13-13, 13kos in an eight rounder. Mendoza is trying to get back on track after dropping his first fight as a professional to Americo Santos, by split decision, in May of last year. He will enjoy the hometown crowd tonight.
Friday Night Fights airs live on ESPN2 tonight at 9pm EST. Be sure to tune in to see these intriguing match-ups. Tony Holden and Bobby Dobbs will beat the count with this ESPN show and fight fans will not come away disappointed.

Carson Jones vs. Justin Flanagan--Middleweights

5 Ways to Keep Your Car Insurance Bill From Being a Disaster
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Auto insurance is a familiar, if vexing financial burden for American drivers.
Across the country, annual prices range from $934 in Maine to $2,699 in Louisiana, but one thing auto insurance shoppers have in common is that they can get a price break on their insurance bill.
If, that is, they follow these tips:
Be patient -- and look around. Don't pull the trigger on the first deal you get. Auto insurance websites such as FastQuotesDirect.com allow you to check multiple auto insurance quotes at one time. In addition, you can vet individual companies via your state's insurance department website. Visit USA.gov for a direct link to your state's insurance commission.Get a group discount. You can get a good deal on car insurance in some offbeat places. Big box retailers such as Costco (COST) offer discounts of 10% or so simply by signing up as a member (through Progressive Insurance (PGR) in that case). Or look into an affiliation discount through groups such as AARP, which can offer even deeper discounts for members. Check your mileage. Mileage figures aren't static. More Americans are working at home or have switched jobs that may lead to a shorter commute from work. In many states, that matters a great deal when it comes to car insurance rates. Check your current insurance policy -- look for the number on the policy's declarations page -- and see if your average mileage has been reduced in recent months. If so, let your insurer know right away. It could save you a bundle, as auto insurers base their policy fees on how much you drive. airbags? Insurance companies love these features and will likely offer you a price break for having them. Chances are your insurance agent or your carrier will ask you about such features, but if they don't, make sure to bring them up -- and ask for a discount. Consolidate your insurance. You can't swing an engine block without seeing media ads for "multi-policy" discounts on auto insurance. Don't be reluctant to get on board with consolidated insurance -- you can save big bucks. Nationwide Insurance, for example, offers discounts of up to 25% for a combined auto, life and home insurance package. Most insurers offer similar discounts. Also, always mention your safe driving record when dealing with an auto insurance agent or company. That may lead to your best deal on vehicle insurance.

December 19, 2014
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A hearing officer has recommended denying parole to a former youth pastor who is serving a prison sentence for sex crimes involving underage girls.
The Knoxville News Sentinel and The Daily Times report that 40-year-old Michael Roy Salazar tried to blame the victims for his actions during a parole hearing Wednesday.
Salazar pleaded guilty in 2010 to 20 counts of sexual battery by an authority figure and statutory rape. The five victims were youth from the Lord's Disciples church in Maryville.
Hearing officer Jane Joyce recommended that Salazar be denied parole for six years, which is the maximum amount of time allowed between hearings.
The recommendation now goes before the state Board of Parole, which will make a final decision.

I'm so speechless. One of the best Kdramas ever! Sung Hee is such a good actress. Really. Shining Inheritance made me cry a lot of times, I did not count because there are too many. And I'm really in love with Lee Seung Gi. Ah Yoona, you're such a lucky girl! Of course, there's still Jun Se.... although I feel bad for your one-sided love, you're still a character I won't forget. Hello to Hye Ri! Who proved what a best friend should really be. And I still don't like In Young. Haemonnie, I adore your kind heart.

OK, now i totally in love with Lee Seung Mi acting. He is one of a kind. He exhibits the whole emotion;- Love, Hatred, Heartbreak, Stupidity, etc. He exhibits good leadership when called upon as in the case of THE KING 2 HEART in which he was co-starred with Secret Garden's Female protagonist, KANG CHI, etc. I am seriously on the look-out for more of his movies.
i feel bad for Seung mi & her mother. I don't know why but its so sad

Video: Bear sneaks onto patio, takes a nap
Updated On: Aug 15 2013 01:33:37 PM EDT
A backyard patio is the perfect place for an afternoon nap, so that's exactly what a bear decided to do on Wednesday afternoon in Naples.
Alice Macdonough was out to lunch when she received an alarming text message from her 7-year-old son, who was home with the babysitter, saying a bear was on their patio.
Her son and the babysitter hid in a bedroom until she got home.
Macdonough said the bear entered through a hole he tore in the patio screen. She took pictures and video of the bear, who hung around for about an hour before leaving.

A few days ago I posted a write up after I got to go to the Santa Monica editing studios for Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. While I was there I saw two scenes from the upcoming movie and I also got to participate in a small roundtable interview with the Strause brothers - the directors of AVP:R.
In case you missed the original article
Im posting the entire write up again. But if you already read it
you can scroll further down and go right to the interview.
We all arrived around 1pm and were showed around the office. At first we walked around an area they called the '3D pit' and thats where they were putting the final touches on the upcoming unrated DVD. This area is also where they do a lot of effects for many films, as the Strause brothers said the effects artists were hard at work on Jumper and Starship Dave now that "AVP:R" is slowing down. I did try and see the computer screens to check out what else was being worked on
but, unfortunately, I didnt see anything but Aliens.
While we stood around the pit, we asked about the unrated DVD. The brothers said it would be around 7 or 8 minutes longer and they had some new and special footage planned for it. And if youre wondering, I asked what the running time is for "AVP:R" and they said around 97 minutes. As we continued to walk around the office, someone asked how many special effects shots were in the film and one of the brothers said around 500 or so.
We then walked up some stairs and saw a room with huge racks of servers in an area away from everything else. The server room is surrounded by glass, and since I had heard they keep those rooms ice cold, I put my hands on the wall to see how cold it was. Just like youd expect, it was cool to the touch. As most of you know, server farms get extremely hot. They told us they have two air conditioning units to keep the room ice cold. Just some random FYI.
From there we went upstairs and sat down in the screening room. This was the area where they watched and worked on the film. I have to say it was very nice. Ive been in a lot of screening rooms because of Collider and the chairs in this one might have been the best. After a few minutes of Q&A, the brothers showed us two scenes from the film.
The first one featured a Predator in the water after arriving on Earth. From there he goes to a ship - I believe it was another Predator ship and he goes to a previously killed Predator and gets some stuff from his body. After rummaging around he sets the auto destruct and the scene ended with him walking away and the ship blowing up. The brothers said this scene was about a third of the way into the movie.
The second and much better scene featured humans, Aliens and a Predator. We were told this scene takes place in the last half of the movie. In this scene we saw a Predator smashing his way into the front of a hospital. Inside we saw a group of heavily armed humans as they tried to make there way around the dark and dangerous building. Without ruining the scene, which played quite well to the ten of us, we saw the Preadator getting attacked by some Aliens and the humans stumbling into the battle. The end of the scene featured a great death. All the journalists watching let out a happy scream. Trust me, its soooo much better than the last movie.
The one thing I noticed about all the footage is that the movie is dark and a lot of it looks like it takes place in the rain. When we spoke to the brothers they admitted that was their plan. While I dont have their exact words, they told us that you cant show the Aliens in too much light or youll know its someone in a costume. Thats why all the battles in this film will be in dark places with limited light.
What I liked about the brothers is how much they spoke about James Cameron and how he even influenced them to move to L.A. to become filmmakers (it was "T2" that did it). They revere Aliens and Predator, and after talking with them, they really seemed like fans who got the keys to their dream franchise.
Since I havent seen the final film I cant say if their vision will work out. But based on the scenes I saw this afternoon, and the first five minutes that FOX released online, its already a hell of a lot better than the last movie.
At the end of the interview we tried to find out what the brothers were going to do next. They seemed very reluctant to spill the beans, but they did say they have two original projects that theyd like to do and if the box office for "AVP:R" is good theyd love to do a sequel to take the battle into space.
And now
heres the entire interview. As always, you can either read the transcript or listen to the audio as an MP3 by clicking here.
How many takes did it take to kind of launch the person (from the footage we saw)?
Greg Strause: What did we get 3 or 4 out of that?
Colin Strause: Yeah.
Greg Strause: I thought she was dead after the first take though. There was no speed ramping or any effects on that.
Colin Strause: Thats real speed of her hitting the wall.
Greg Strause: Thats the real in-camera footage.
Colin Strause: Its crazy.
Was she on a ratchet or something that pulled her against the wall?
Colin Strause: Yeah, she was on a ratchet and the funny thing is we had the guy who played Colossus in X3 was one of our stunt guys
so he was actually the guy on the ratchet at the time. It was really kind of bizarre.
Q: So she was all black and blue by the end of that.
Colin Strause: Yeah, she got banged up a bit but she did great. It looks pretty vicious. No special effects needed on that.
Whats the actresss name?
Colin Strause: Oh, its Kristin Hagger is Jessie, but I forget the name of the stunt woman who was playing her for that shot.
That Colossus guy, did he also double as one of the predators?
Colin Strause: Yeah, he was one of the predators. We had him and I think was it his brother?
Greg Strause: Yeah, his brother, yeah.
Colin Strause: They were 2 of the stunt predators up in Canada.
Now Robert asked you about the continuity of the mythology of that. The 1st Alien vs. Predator had switched up some of the mythology to suit certain needs. Have you removed some of that and gone back to the original?
Colin Strause: Some stuff has been smoothed over like we redesigned the altar that Scars body was on to make the ship a little more Predator-ish, you know. Theres a couple of thingswe tried to stay as close as we could be there were a few things we had to massage a little bit just to kind of make the movie more what we wanted it to be.
So this is immediately following AVP?
Colin Strause: Yes, shortly after. I mean, we redo the Scar vs. scene and theres some extra stuff on the ship which actually they just released on Yahoo.UK the first 5 minutes of the movie today. Slightly cut down. Theres a few shots missing out of it.
Theres also a shot of what we can assume is the Predator homeworld?
It looked like those were all Predator ships.
Colin Strause: Yeah, there was an exterior of the plant. The big wide on the planet itself with the Wolf ship flying away and then the whole inside his big temple thing where he receives the distress signal and watches all the playback on that.
So is this teasing for a possible film thats going to maybe take us to the Predator home world?
Colin Strause: Yeah, I mean, we kind of told them this is to us kind of the end of the Earth story. The next ones got to be in space. The way we kind of end this its like were kind of done here so it would be nice the next one before Alien but definitely needs to be more of a space epic.
So could we get to a point where theres a movie thats just monsters and no aliens at all?
Greg Strause: Actually thats a hard sell.
Colin Strause: We pitched on the first one and we had like our pitch was like Dances With Wolves and we had like 45 minutes where there was going to be no spoken language at all in the movie. Needless to say we didnt get the first movie but we tried.
Greg Strause: It sounds great. Well call you.
Can you talk a little bit about when you found out you did get the project.
Colin Strause: Yeah, it actually went pretty quick. I mean, we met on the first one so we met all the executives over there and our effects companywed been doing a lot of work for Fox and we got the backdrop for Day After Tomorrow and we did all the Fan Four moviesX-Men 3, just a ton of stuff over the years and we pitched on Wolfenstein and got really close to selling it at Fox and then when this thing came around it was all the same executives and everyone. We got our hands on it. We had about a week or so to put together a visual presentation and our ideas of how to take what script they had and where we kind of wanted to put the movie and yeah, we had one really good meeting with them and then we had like 2 other meetings after that and then we basically had the job booked.
Can you talk about the design of the Pred-Alien? How many incarnations you guys went through? Was that the toughest design challenge that you had?
Colin Strause: It was definitely one of the trickier ones. I mean, one of the hard things is that there are so many other people that had to see stuff and approve and try to get everyone on the same page. One of the cool things is we went with ADI the guys have like even for the Predator they must have had 60-70 different concepts painted together of all different Predators. Some of them were from the previous movie they didnt use, a bunch were new ones they did. Like the Whip was something that one of the concept artists just happened to have. This huge bullwhip and as we went over there on the first meeting we saw them and holy shit this thing is about as cool as it gets. Weve got to put that in the movie. So, you know it was just really good working with Tom and Alec on that. What they would do is we did our initial designs in Photoshop with our designer. We showed the guys from ADI what we wanted to do, and then they would start doing their paper designs and wed get something kind of close and then theyd start building all these mechets. Wed start with the head mechets, and theyd start with the full-body mechets. We probably went through a bit of design work.
Greg Strause: Yeah, I remember going through some of the art work and it was like Pred-Alien version 65 and youre like Jesus Christ. Its just naturally going through a lot of indurations but there were some concerns. We wanted to keep him very much or her very much an alien so there was some back and forth in terms of how many predator sort of characteristics should come through so that was what most of the back and forth was about.
Colin Strause: One of the trickier things too was its one thing when youve got like all the geeky fans who know everything watch the movie. They go oh I know thats obviously a warrior alien ,I know thats the Pred-Alien but the biggest issue we had with the design is because were going so dark with the movie and theres a lot of rain and atmosphere and everything is a normal person watching the movie going to be able to tell the difference? That was like one of our biggest tricks, because we knew that hardcore fans would get it instantly but good design also has to appeal to people who dont give a shit about the franchisesjust want to go see a movie and they go and actually like it. We had to make sure we included all those people in it as well, so that was one of the things making sure
we cheated the pigmentation a little bit more yellow on her and just things so that if you just see flashes of her at least a general audience member would be able to track it but at the same time not watering down the design or anything to make it kind of generic.

continued on page 2 -------------->
Were there key things that you had to have like with Predator the key thing is the fangs and the Alien the key thing is the head, were there
Colin Strause: Yeah, for us it was keeping the Alien teeth because thats such a distinct feature and having the dome. Thats why we went back with putting the skull actually underneath the glass dome so it has a real Predator skull under there. Even in the original Alien you could never really see it because the photographers lit so dark. We have a couple shots in the movie where you can actually see the whole skull feature and everything underneath. The with the mandibles in that because of the basically the egg laying scene we wanted the mandibles under there so she could actually wrap around almost like a face hugger in a way and grab peoples faces as shes doing the impregnation. So it was a kind of important design thing. In the battle sequence I think she looks pretty fearsome. When she has the mandible closed she looks more Predator, but when they open up you see the distinct Alien teeth and everything.
Alien fans have been waiting a long time to see Aliens on Earth. How much fun can you have with that finally within the context of the AVP story?
Colin Strause: Well, I mean, the thing we were trying to be careful of is we didnt want to have Aliens dancing in front of McDonalds and stuff. I know a lot of people were worried being on Earth its like you know what are the locations going to be. One of the first things in our pitch we said the movies got to take place and powers going get knocked out and its got to be raining the whole last night. Seeing an Alien in broad daylight or just plain view is going to look stupid no matter what you do. The reason it worked in all the other movies is you were in a dark spaceship, you had flashing blinking lights, steam jets. You had all these great elements to cover them up basically and if you dont do that theyre going to look like guys in suits. Thats why the first thing we did is get that atmosphere and that in there and the 2nd thing was picking cooler locations. The 1st big battle takes place in this huge underground sewer network. The next battle takes place in a power plant. Then you have the big rooftop battle. Then theres a National Guard battle on the street in the rain. We tried to pick locations that even though they were earth bound, they still were reminiscent of you know, the power plant is going to look very much like Alien. Its got all the yellow warning beacons and lot of steam and everything so were trying to give it that space sort of feel so even though it is Earth it doesnttry not to make it feel cheesy or anything, just give it a much more gritty kind of environments.
Do you have other films sort of conceptionalized going beyond this? You mentioned going into space and approaching the time line of the original Alien movie.
Colin Strause: Weve been talking very loosely with the writer and all that with what could be the next one but were going to wait to see how this one does and then well figure out what the deal is. But yeah, definitely the next ones got to be in space.
You said this franchise is obviously a fan-boys dream. What ways is it for the general audiences?
Colin Strause: Well, the big thing we did with the movie is just try to make a good scary film. I mean, we tried to treat it not as like a versus movie because I think sometimes people see a vs. movies as being kind of cheesy. You know, Freddy vs. Jason is entertaining, but theres a little kind of funny cheese to it. We tried to keep it as serious as we could with the creatures and just make a good, scary, dark movie. Basically the idea was to do a kind of like a Texas Chainsaw Massacre with creatures. Thats kind of the tone.
Whats your opinion on the Christmas Day opening?
Colin Strause: I think its going to be pretty cool. Theres actually you know with I Am Legend coming out before
our buddy Francis did.
Greg Strause: Scream movies did really well during that week. People ask about that and its a huge movie going week. So like every day that week is like a Friday or Saturday.
Because of your extensive experience over the years now with all thats taken place, what was the most complicated element to do in terms of the effects for this picture that youre very much proud of?
Colin Strause: Predator ship interiors?
Greg Strause: The most complex without being a total spoiler. One of the hardest scenes is still not completely been spoiled yet and were trying not to spoil everything. It gets real easy with every interview you give away a little hint in each one and all of a sudden theres nothing left to find out in the theatres, so we always try to dampen ourselves on that.
Colin Strause: The big thing was a lot of shots.
Greg Strause: And the ship crash stuff in the beginning was some of our more intense stuff with you know plowing over a whole forest of trees and all the fire and all that. That stuff is pretty involved.
Colin Strause: Every tree had to be completely 3D and we built these simulations so as the ship actually hits the trees physically bend over and start snapping and breaking as the ship kind of plows over it.
Greg Strause: And the trophy room was pretty involved too. Oops, I just let that out.
Colin Strause: Well, thats on that clip now so.
Greg Strause: Oh yeah, thats right. Its on the Internet.
Can you talk just a little bit about the title? What is the Requiem part? Why Requiem? What is that referring to?
Colin Strause: Its kind of 2 things. One it was you know trying to show the more adult theme to the movie
Greg Strause: The real answer we cant give you on record.
Colin Strause: Also it was supposed to make it more adult which is basically the big thing with the movie. The last one was a little bit more kind of a normal sci-fi where ours is much more of a darker town. I think you saw from that clip its a lot kind of meaner of a movie.
You guys obviously speak as fans and have high reverence for both franchises. Can you talk about what the Alien films and the Predator films mean to you? I mean, did they help get you guys into this
Greg Strause: Its funny, Colin and I had said this before, we go on a lot of movie pitches and a lot of times you dont just talk about the project youre there to talk about. You talk about things you like. What your tastes are and wed always be like Predator is the best mission movie ever made bar none and then Aliens just from a horror standpoint scared the piss out of us when we were 8 years old and just loved that movie. Also, though, its a scary action film but its got a real heart to it. I mean, the whole Ripley/Nute dynamic and her starting as a mom and having to become a solider. It was like this great character of writing in there.
Colin Strause: And also Cameron was a big influence. I mean for us when we moved out here we saw Terminator II and it was like
because we were already doing visual effects in Chicago and it was like once we saw that movie we were like we got to get to L.A. You cant work on toothpaste commercials forever in Chicago. It was like we had to get out here. When we first saw Aliens, it was literally on Pay Per View in a hotel room and our parents were at a craft show or something and we kept flipping on the channel. Wed watch it for a few minutes, we thought we heard them in the hallway, wed flip the channel back and go back and didnt realize that every time we did that we kept getting billed like $15 bucks so we had like a $200 bill that our parents just about killed us over but yeah, that was our first time seeing it. Were just huge Cameron fans too. I mean, Id say for me the favorite ones are Aliens, Predator and Alien would be my top 3.
Where does Predator 2 fall into that then?
Colin Strause: Lower.
I did notice there was a music cue from Predator 2 in there.
Colin Strause: No, theres a lot of stuff from Predator 2 I liked. It just didnt hold up as well. Like you put Predator in I mean like I watchedIve watched it like 40 times, but on Friday the Jules Verne thing were going to get to see but I mean, you watch that movie on DVD its so timeless. Predator 2, you throw it in and I mean, theres some funny stuffthe guy with the
Greg Strause: The rayon shirts dont hold up as well. They dont stand the test of time.
Are you guys showing these same clips at the Jules Verne or are you showing different clips?
Colin Strause: I think were doing those 2 clips arent we?
Greg Strause: Thats not been decided yet.
Colin Strause: Its either that or the opening or something. Were still working that out.
Greg Strause: Yeah, well figure that out tomorrow probably.
You mentioned plays for an extended DVD. What other extras do you have for Blue-Ray and HD DVD.
Colin Strause: You know, I think theres some extra concept stuff. Theres still a whole bunch of stuff were still going over with the DVD people. Were still actually doing the DI on it. We have to go there tonight and finish.
Greg Strause: We just
the last bit of color timing work on the theatrical is finished on Friday so were just going to start getting into the DVD stuff in the next week or so.
So whats your final running time on this film?
Greg Strause: Youre going to have to ask Dan. 96 or something? Its right around
.its 94-96 right in that neighborhood.
When you guys work together, do you have like similar minds about a lot of stuff or
Greg Strause: Yeah, we have to otherwise we wouldnt be able to sit here together. Yeah, I mean
Colin Strause: Its interesting. Some things were completely aligned on and some things were very different about, which is nice because we get to play devils advocate a lot, which is a nice thing. Where if a director is by himself, if theres something hes not quite sure about, he has to be careful who he says like I dont know about this because it usually looks like a sign of weakness, where I can go to him and go like is this idea stupid or he can go like yeah, its a fucking retarded idea and we dont do it or vice versa say this ideas good. It lets us kind of push each other and lets us battle out the idea so when we actually show up on set we know that weve kind of looked at both sides of an issue, picked a way we needed to go and stick with that direction.
As a practical matter on set is one of you maybe deals more with the actors and the other
Greg Strause: No, were pretty interchangeable. Sometimes 1 take Colin will give a note and the next take Ill go out and give a note and wed work on stuff like that but generally weve got to be pretty unified and everything.
Colin Strause: On the visual effects side, I do more on the 3D and Greg does more on the 2D side. We have a little more of a split up on that but the directing is
Greg Strause: Dealing with the cast and everything is really important that they kind of feel like everyones on the same page.
In terms of the assemblies or different cuts or how you guys go about that?
Colin Strause: Well, what we did on this which was really cool is because of that whole final cut system we were able to and our editor Dan is just blazingly quick, as we were shooting the moviefirst we did previs for all the battle sequences and storyboarded out the whole film and cut it all together. So we literally had a full movie of storyboards then as wed shoot, hed be cutting stuff all during the week then every weekend, when we were up in Vancouver, wed literally watch whatever the assembly was of the movie the whole time. And the cool thing about that was we were able to make changes on set so wed be shooting something and wed be like oh, you know wed need a close-up of this. We could then go tell 2nd unit to pick up this shot without it actually being extra days in our schedule or we could say, hey we dont need this scene nowits not needed in the moviedont waste your time on this, move on.
Greg Strause: Sometimes I wait until he left and then Id sneak in with Dan and change the stuff.
Was there any need for like an assistant director?
Colin Strause: Oh yeah.
Greg Strause: We had a 2nd unit director but then the assistant directors in charge of the schedule and everything.
Colin Strause: I mean, thats a monumental task all on its own. Especially because we had 52 days of shooting and we had 42 company moves which is kind of insane. It literally means that were
.never anywhere more than a day. Some days wed do 3 company moves
because the last one once you got in the temple, you were in the temple for like 45 minutes. Every 3 minutes of our movie youre literally in a completely different location in the town. Part of the idea was to make the movie as big as we can to show all this shit going on all over the place but it also meant the actual filming was going to be a nightmare. So the assistant directorthat was his main task was getting everything scheduled. We kept having towns because when they found out we wanted to fire 50 caliber machine guns and everythingthese towns magically started not wanted us shooting there anymore because you could hear the guns for 4 miles as it echoes through the valley. So whenever wed lose a location hed scramble to schedule and wed find a new place, so that was his main task was to get all that crazy stuff sorted out so we could focus on the performances and everything.
You guys have been involved in so many landmarks effects, what do you think is the next level you can take visual effects to?
Greg Strause: Stereoscopic.
Colin Strause: 3D stuff is going to be the future.
Greg Strause: I dont know if you guys have seen Beowulf or not but the 3D
the stereoscopic aspect of that experience I thought it was awesome.
Colin Strause: I wouldnt bet against Cameron either. If he thinks its a good idea I think its going to be
.its going to be the future I think.
Greg Strause: It brings you into the picture more.
Colin Strause: I find myself with my home theatre at home is like Ill just wait for the DVD, you know. But stereoscopic you kind of have to get your ass off the sofa and get to the theatre and actually watch it. Its a cool thing because going to the theatre should be an experience. It shouldnt be a chore. Having something like stereoscopic would be something that you could only experience there. 3D TVs3D plasmas probably wont be out for another 8 years7 years realistically, so I think that will be an experience unique to the cinema for a while to keep people going there.
You were talking before about the fact that you used re-mastered soundtracks off the original Aliens and Predator, could you talk about it?
Colin Strause: Yeah, that was such a big thing for us because especially in the last movie and I think the Predator vision didnt quite sound as full because it didnt have all the heartbeats and all that stuff so we made sure they pulled all the original sound effects like when the Aliens get killed that squeal that you heard in Aliens, they call that the peacock elephant I guess. It was a weird one off recording in a zoo where they happened to be recording a peacock and in the background a baby elephant squealed at that exact time and that was the exact noise and they literally used that same sound effect over and over again, so we did the same thing and
Greg Strause: And the sounds from mother from the original Alien for the mother for the type hitting the screenwe used that. The plasma caster from the original Predator, blue cracks
.its all the same.
Colin Strause: Just to make the movie feel familiar.
Greg Strause: In certain places the original recordings kind of showed their age and their quality so we would layer new recordings on top but a lot of the fundamental layersa lot of sound effects sometimes can be 20, 30, 50 layers of sounds all mixed together at once, so a lot of ours the bottom foundation will be from the original. We didnt do anything where in the final movie it would sound kind of analog or sound antique so wed run the risk of that wed layer new stuff in on top.
And there were also music cues from Alien in that stairwell I heard.
Colin Strause: We had Brian do the score we told him the idea was we wanted to be a blend of Aliens and Alien III on the music, so keep it familiar. We also said we really wanted the bongo drums from Predator. So make sure in all the key moments of all the Predator shots that you get that. Again, its just to give it a little nostalgia and make it feel familiar. We wanted to get back to that old sort of feeling with it.
Now are you guys already looking for your next job? Do you know what youre directing next or are you guys waiting?
Colin Strause: We have 2 big things.
Greg Strause: We have some things cooking.
And they are?
Colin Strause: Cant really talk about them yet. Maybe another week or 2. Ones fantasy and ones sci-fi.
Are they based at Fox?
Greg Strause: Theyre all over the place.
I think you guys mentioned that you guys even though you McG is directing it
but you guys would have like to have taken a whack at Terminator.
Colin Strause: Yeah, that would have been cool.
So is it something Terminator like? Something being re-made that we havent heard about?
Greg Strause: Theyre both original movies.
That you guys came up with them?
Colin Strause: Nope. We have our own script and we have a big disaster film that we actually almost been writing ourselves which maybe wont be for the next thing but maybe the thing after that. A big sci-fi disaster.
You say fantasy. Is it Lord of the Rings like fantasy or is it more
Colin Strause: I dont know.
Greg Strause: Keep fishing there.
Do you have plans like for your own TV series project?
Colin Strause: Weve talked about looking into TV; I mean basically its always better to get into TV after youve done a movie. We talked about it last year and it was like if you start a TV show its always better to start if a movies does good and everything is going to put you in a better place for figuring out. Its something were definitely interested in but I want to maybe do another movie or so first before getting into that craziness.
You guys are directing as the Strause Brothers, you guys are not going on your own separate ways?
Colin Strause: No. Staying together. Even after we finished shooting this we shot a bunch of commercials. We still do stuff like that to pay the bills.
Do you guys think that maybe what is Fox looking at? Have they told you guys if this does well next year or 2 years if they want the sequel to this thing or?
Greg Strause: We havent really talked any timelines with them. I mean, theres definitely a way you can see kind of attitude there. I always believe its better to have a little bit of a gap just so the audience builds up a little bit of a hunger. I think every time if you come out the exact next year sometimes you might not maximize the exposure so
Are the Alien and Predator franchises now basically inexplicably linked or did you envision some just Predator films again?
Colin Strause: I think it will be definitely another AVP before theres a Predator film again.
Greg Strause: Its hard for us to speak for what those guys are thinking over there but Id say your chances of an AVP III are a lot greater. Youd get that first before youd get another Predator 3 or Alien 5.
Colin Strause: I think most of it is just looking at it from a pure financial standpoint. I mean, you get 2 fan bases or you get just 1. Its like
you know. At the end of the day the whole idea of making movies is making money off them.
Greg Strause: Dont get us wrong, Id love to see both of those movies get made just knowing those guys its hard to say. If you look at the curve of the financial performance the last Alien movies is kind of like going like this so its youve got to make movies to make money so. Theres that unfortunate pressure on all of us.

10 to Contend: Bob Morris
Date: December 30, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
Bob Morris hopes to succeed where others have failed.
Morris is part of a team that hopes to develop the former Quay site. He and his partners, Mark Famiglio, Burton "Skip" Sack and Chuck Madden, formed CMR Bayside Associates and expect to close on the property by the end of 2010.
"We don't know for sure what this project is going to become," he said.
What it won't become is the condo/retail/office/hotel that Patrick Kelly envisioned when he bought the site in 2004 and demolished the Quay building, then bought the adjacent El Vernona condos in 2006, which doubled the project size.
Kelly's timing was bad. Hit by the recession, he was not able to keep up with his loans.
According to Morris, Kelly's inability to start construction on his high-rise buildings is the best thing that could have happened to that site.
"You would have had a mini Miami," he said. "Residential towers sitting there vacant."
Developer Zeb Portanova asked Morris in February to help him contact Kelly, because Portanova wanted to move his Proscenium project to Kelly's property. In July, Portanova signed a purchase contract, but was unable to close on the deal.
Morris said his group then began negotiations with Portanova and the bank to purchase the bank's mortgages on the property for cash for "30 to 50 cents on the dollar," putting the purchase price between $28 million and $48 million. Morris said Kelly's group had mortgages on the property totaling about $96 million.
Real-estate deals are nothing new to Morris. After coming to Sarasota in 2002, he formed the Rooks Morris Real Estate company with his father-in-law, Howard Rooks.
The company was sold to Prudential Palms Realty in January.
"That was a life changer," said Morris. "I was working more than full-time.
Morris now spends his time managing his properties, which include Cork restaurant, on St. Armands Circle, small apartment complexes in Sarasota and a 56,000-square-foot shopping center in Bradenton, and working on his new venture on the bayfront.
Will Morris, Famiglio, Sack and Madden be able to do at the Quay what Kelly and Portanova were not?
Morris cites one reason why he believes they will. The others had visions that they were imposing on the site.
"We are letting the vision come to us," he said, meaning that by the time they are ready to build, which could be at least two years away, the community's needs may change, so their plans would change.
Amenities that are being considered include a hotel, conference center, event arena, retail and a small number of condos.
Also being considered is a public-private partnership, in which a government entity, similar to the Sarasota-Bradenton Airport Authority, might own the property, with a private company operating it.
But all those are just ideas at this point — nothing is firm yet.
Morris said Kelly's vision for the former Quay site was only aimed at maximizing profits. His group will be better for Sarasota, he said.
"Four local people who care about this community are in control of this property now," said Morris. "Not someone just trying to make as much money as possible."
