Who wore gold-flecked gloves? (Fancy!)
"It's not witch-crafty or anything!"
In a Jack in the Box commercial.
"They can't seem to find one who doesn't look straight into the lens."
"I'd rather slap than be slapped."

He's not up to his usual apoplexy, but next to the somnambulant Jones, anyone would seem like they were.

Which is basically a collection of January Jones's most stylish and most heinous moments on the show.
Get this: Nic Cage plays a vigilante out for justice!
She's cold, she's nasty, and now she's gone!
There's no such thing as a free revenge murder.

January Jones is "a sweetheart," he says.

That is, she's wearing a Preen dress.
Sheer audacity indeed.

The Yankees' biggest splash this offseason was arguably the signing of Masahiro Tanaka. After putting pen to paper on a $155 million contract, the hype is big.
As we highlighted in our 2014 Pitching Forecast, Tanaka is essentially replacing Andy Pettitte in the rotation. We get the general sense that Pettitte's performance in 2013 was underrated, and people are forgetting just how good he was.
2013 Andy: 185.1 IP / 3.74 ERA / 3.70 FIP / 3.88 xFIP / 3.2 WAR
Andy's WAR of 3.2 was 3rd-highest on the team (behind Cano and Kuroda, tied with Gardner). The man was simply a fantastic talent, even in his final season.
Is it realistic to think that Tanaka can best Andy's numbers and actually represent an upgrade? Might be tough in his rookie campaign, but hopefully he will over the life of his deal — or else that contract will look frothy.

I have started work on a new design, pitched to me by Kate of A Hundred Ravens. It's a garment, it uses one of her minis sets, and it will be done for the spring season … beyond that, I'm not quite ready to share, except perhaps this photo:
I have started work on a new design, pitched to me by Kate of A Hundred Ravens. It's a garment, it uses one of her minis sets, and it will be done for the spring season … beyond that, I'm not quite ready to share, except perhaps this photo:
Things to ponder… Who blew the great horn of Helm Hammerhand? Was Saruman experimenting with explosives? Whatever shall I do with this high-contrast variegated colorway?
Hornburg provides an answer to the last query, using slipped stitches and ever-changing stitch counts to show wild colorways (like Helm's Deep) to full effect.
Pattern: Hornburg Cowl
Designer: Rachel Henry
Available: $6 on Ravelry
Yarn: A Hundred Ravens Aesir — 2 skeins
Hornburg is knit flat, using a clever trick of construction to result in a circular cowl with no sewing or picked-up stitches. No, really!
Although designed for a bouncy sport-weight yarn (like Aesir), the pattern is readily adapted to other weights of yarn. Use needles sized appropriately for your yarn, and add (or remove) repeats of the bias strip pattern as desired. Naturally, yardage required will vary with size of yarn and needles.
Lookit what I made, it's so cool! :)
Project: Fairy Rings
Pattern: Miss Winkle
Designer: Martina Behm
Available: €3.60 EUR on Ravelry
Yarn: A Hundred Ravens Iachos in "Frances and the Leaping Fairy"
So … I think we all know how hard it can be to find a good pattern for a high-contrast multi-colored skein of hand-dyed yarn. For instance, take a look at this skein:
In terms of colors, the white, coral, and green all contrast sharply. The tone of the saturated green and color are about the same, as you can see in the black-and-white version, but there is a strong contrast between the white and the most saturated "grey" ends of the skein. This is a colorway that will be stripey, and would overwhelm any but the most simple lace pattern.
BUT — it's perfect for garter stitch, especially if the project has a variable stitch count to help avoid big pools of color. Martina Behm's Hitchhiker is a perfect example of a simple pattern in garter stitch that increases gradually from a small cast-on to a broad end … it's classic! Martina seems to have made this sort of shawl/scarf a bit of a speciality. What I like about Miss Winkle is the awesome loopy edge. I need something to help hold my attention when working garter stitch, and this was just the thing. An unexpected side-benefit of the loops is that they concentrate the color. I estimate that each loop uses about half a round of the skein, so many progress through all three main colors. It helps "pop" the colors in the garter stitch…. and also, they are so cool!!
The curve of this kind of shawl happens naturally — the neck edge has kfb on both RS and WS rows, so it "pulls" a bit.
So … last week I got my hands on my special-order Aesir from A Hundred Ravens. I had a specific project in mind, and I asked Kate to dye a batch of Aesir in "mostly Bree, but less orange and more tonal in general."
She took a look at the project I was planning, and made this for me:
And, here are the first two gears of my Torque Scarf!
A Hundred Ravens can be found at the Wayland Winter Farmers' Market most Saturdays! Snugged in amongst the plants and, um, garden decorations you will find a wide variety of delicious local food and other neat stuff. Kate sells hard copies of many of my patterns, and has lovely samples worked up in her yarn. The butter-yellow Levade in Llyr is one of my favorites.
It's even better on a dinosaur.
(The raptor is a yard ornament. That you can buy. To put in your yard. And terrify people.)
I'm very excited about my latest design project! I hardly dare say it (because jinx), but it's coming together so effortlessly, and I looooove it so much! Here's a bit of the first motif:
One of the joys of being and indie designer is that I can share photos whenever I like! So there.
My new collection of shawls is called "Clockwork." Each shawl will feature different fingering-weight yarn from A Hundred Ravens. I'm using the yet-to-be-released spring/summer colors, and each two-skein shawl will feature two different colorways. I've seen some preview skeins, and they are unspeakably lovely, so I hope you are all super jealous :) :).
I swatched madly and then cast on for the first shawl, Flywheel, this week, using Llyr, a silk/wool blend with all the drape and shine you'd expect. I'm using two semi-solid colorways, and some really interesting and fun stitch patterns. This design will probably be my mystery KAL pattern for the collection. (Interested? Make sure to sign up for my email list to be notified first about mystery KAL updates.)
I finished, finally! :) I give you … a very BRIGHTLY colored cowl/wrap:
Project: Firebird Rhea Silvia
Pattern: Rhea Silvia
Designer: Sara Morris
Available: $6 on Ravelry
Yarn: A Hundred Ravens Iachos in "Midst Her Fires"
Two skeins of Iachos ends up being not quite enough yarn for a Rhea Silvia. If I'd read the pattern thoroughly, I would have know this. Instead, I got caught off guard … fortunately, I was able to bind off a row or three early on both edges, and it still looks pretty good. Even with blocking, I'm finding the border flares more than I like. If I make another Rhea Silvia, I'll probably decrease more when transitioning from the cabled body to the border in order to limit/eliminate this flare.
That said, I'm delighted with the end product! Kate's yarn shines (glows, even!) in this pattern. The striping and pooling of hand-dyed yarn can be SO much fun! I've been wearing it doubled-up (see below) and getting lots of compliments.

2010 Saw the Dawn of Nation-State Cyber Wars: Citrix CTO
2010 Saw the Dawn of Nation-State Cyber Wars: Citrix CTO
Citrix CTO Simon Crosby looks back at
2010 in the cloud computing sector--and ahead at what 2011 may bring--and isn't
very comfortable with a number of things emerging on the security side of that
very hot business.
Crosby has become a go-to resource for knowledge in virtualization, cloud computing and data security. He was founder and CTO of XenSource prior to its acquisition by Citrix for $500 million in 2007. Previously, Simon was a principal engineer at Intel, where he led strategic research in distributed autonomic computing, platform security and trust.
It's Crosby's job as the CTO of an international enterprise IT provider to maintain a big-picture view of what the trends are, where they're going and how they will affect companies making strategic IT plans.
It's not necessarily cloud infrastructure issues that worry Crosby. It's protection of stored data and access to servers that keeps him up at night.
"This was the year when nation-state attacks started to happen," Crosby said. "You've got Stuxnet, you've got the Chinese government attack on Google, and you've got WikiLeaks. My take is that every CIO should be shivering in a state of panic."
Everybody's long been aware of denial of service attacks and their potential, but Crosby thinks many people have become indifferent to these events, believing such an attack won't happen to them.
"All of these have profound lessons for us," Crosby told eWEEK. "We're in a space of hyper-innovation, and that's fueled by Moore's Law on the client and the server, and Moore's Law helping the network, so we get the network effect of that. And the network effect of that innovation is unbelievable.
World's largest cloud: Conficker
"If you look at the world's largest cloud, it's probably something called Conficker. It has probably 30 million CPUs. It requires something like 20 terabits of bandwidth, and it's for hire. You can hire it today, and point it at anything you want," Crosby said.
"Think cloud now. Every single one of those hosts up there that are infected with Conficker--and there are still millions and millions of them--are all out there, and they can be remotely controlled and instructed to do something. It's similar to the way the anonymous guys at WikiLeaks have been getting people to download and attack payload, and then they can remotely point that attack payload at any site they want to attack."
For example, anonymous hackers have been able to put together an attack of 10GB per second and point it at Visa, PayPal, Amazon and a couple of other places to shut them down for various times, Crosby said.
"Conficker is still out there, and that's 28 terabits/second. If that thing was pointed at any U.S. national interest or any national interest, it would go down in a heartbeat," Crosby said.
So why hasn't this happened yet, if there are people in the world devious and knowledgeable enough to activate this dangerous weapon?
"Well, it hasn't yet for the same reason that nobody has launched an atomic bomb--it's that big, right?" Crosby said. "It turns out that most of the Conficker stuff is relatively straightforward--denial of service and blackmail stuff in the hands of organized crime.
"But the scary thing is that this was the year [2010] that nation-states started to engage in cyber war actively--and everybody saw it for the first time."
Stuxnet Worm: Prime Example of What Can Happen
The Stuxnet worm, which appeared in July 2010, was a prime example, "wreaking
havoc on the Iranian nuclear facilities," Crosby
Stuxnet exploited four zero-day vulnerabilities in Windows and a vulnerability in Windows' Print Spooler service to do its dirty work. Early versions of the virus abused Windows' AutoRun feature in an effort to infect industrial control systems, Symantec revealed in September.
"The interesting departure [this year] is that we have started to see nation-states play an active role in these attacks," Crosby said. "That is more threatening than the traditional bad guys who spam you with email or blackmail the gambling sites to say, 'Your site's going to be down until you pay me some money.' "
Crosby said that all these concerns point to the cloud as the best place to maintain a "survivable" application.
"Here's a good example: Visa was nailed by the anonymous crew on WikiLeaks. But Amazon didn't even blink when Anonymous pointed 10 gigabits of traffic at it. Amazon has this massive cloud that's redundant, has multiple availability zones spread around geographical regions, and so on. So if you want to make your application survive a big attack, the place to run it is called the cloud."
This is probably counter to what most people think in response to these attacks, Crosby said.
"Most people are going to want to close all the boundaries, run a private cloud, and get my head down in my bunker and hope that I'm secure," he said. "But in that situation, you are more vulnerable than if you are automated. People are running around your infrastructure with USB sticks and everything else. That's how WikiLeaks happened."
When nation-states start pouring defense budget-sized amounts of money into cyber war, then we will see "very interesting attacks," Crosby said. It has been estimated that it cost somebody "on the order of $10 million" to build Stuxnet, for example, Crosby said.
"We don't know where it [Stuxnet] came from, but it's pretty clear that it was organized by a nation-state because of the sophistication of the attack," Crosby said. "Most attacks use a single vulnerability; Stuxnet used four--four that were previously unknown to anyone, including Microsoft. So that basically suggests that somebody had the Windows source code and used it [for that attack]."
Access to source code a major problem
Many governments have access to this source code, he said. Stuxnet also targeted very specific enterprise devices, Crosby said, and was not aimed at the average consumer.
"It was clearly targeted for political reasons, it cost a lot of money to do, and it was very robust," Crosby said. "It still has not been cleared; it's out there causing havoc."
This trend is going to make IT managers sit up and take notice, he said.
"You may say, well, I have good people and procedures in place, but the more people you have involved, the more vulnerable you are--either through mistakes or deliberate sabotage," Crosby said.
"That basically says you need to get on the cloud."
Bradley Manning, the U.S. military IT assistant implicated in the WikiLeaks controversy, used a USB stick on a PC to access most of the information that ended up being published on the site.
"Now, if that organization had been using desktop virtualization, that would never have been allowed to happen. Every single device on every client is policy controlled for access, and you can shut these off. Any properly automated cloud would have prevented WikiLeaks from happening," Crosby said.
Prior to founding XenSource, Crosby was the founder of CPlane Inc., a network-optimization software vendor, where he held a variety of executive roles. Before CPlane, Simon was a tenured faculty member at the University of Cambridge, UK, where he led research on network performance and control, and multimedia operating systems.
He is author of more than 35 research papers and has patents on a number of data center and networking topics, including security, network and server virtualization, resource optimization and performance. In 2007, Simon was named one of InfoWorld's Top 25 CTOs.

Taking aim at a hospital billing system that is shrouded in mystery, two North Carolina senators introduced legislation Wednesday they say would make it easier for patients to shop for the best prices on medical procedures.
Hospitals would be required to publicly disclose their prices on the most common medical procedures, under the bill sponsored by Republican Sens. Bob Rucho of Matthews and Harry Brown of Jacksonville.
The legislation also would set up financial rewards for hospitals that are able to provide low-cost care and would ban a type of double billing now common in radiology.
Rucho and Brown say theyre confident about the bills prospects. The legislation has the support of Senate leader Phil Berger, who says it would bring needed transparency.
One of the issues that has frustrated me is the inability of consumers to make informed choices, said Berger, the Senates president pro tem.
The legislation was prompted by Prognosis: Profits, a series of stories in the Observer and The News & Observer of Raleigh that found nonprofit hospitals are inflating prices on drugs and procedures, sometimes as much as 10 times over cost.
North Carolina hospitals dont publicly post prices. That makes it all but impossible for patients to comparison shop or to effectively question prices, the newspapers found. Experts say the system also helps hospitals make more money.
The senators say their proposal would begin to correct that.
You should know what the cost of a procedure is, said Rucho, a retired dentist who co-chairs the Senate Finance Committee. You do that with every other purchase. Why shouldnt you be able to do that in health care?
The fate of the legislation will hinge in large part on how it is received by the states hospital industry. With a squad of lobbyists and a history of giving generously to elected officials, North Carolina hospitals are one of the most powerful interest groups in state politics.
Officials with the N.C. Hospital Association have worked to provide needed information to patients and recognize the importance of being even more transparent, association spokesman Don Dalton said.
The association has established a task force of hospital trustees to work through these and other issues, Dalton said.
The hospital association will look for opportunities to be supportive of the Senate transparency bill, he said. This is a comprehensive package. We will work with the legislature to understand the details.
The bill would:
• Require North Carolina hospitals to report prices for their 50 most common episodes of care, such as tonsillectomies. The information would be sent to the nonprofit N.C. Health Information Exchange, which would make the information publicly available on its website. Hospitals would have to report how much uninsured patients, Medicare, Medicaid and the five largest insurers pay for each episode of care.
• Mandate that every hospital conspicuously post its charity care policy both on its premises and on its website along with the amount it spent on charity care in the previous year. The newspapers investigation found that most North Carolina hospitals were spending less than 3 percent of their budgets on free care for the poor and uninsured.
And while most hospitals have charity care policies, patients dont always learn about them. More than a third of the states hospitals provided no details about their charity care policies on their websites, the newspapers found.
• Prohibit hospitals from charging multiple times for outpatient radiology services that are rendered only once.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina says such overcharging often happens when technicians take several images of a patient during radiology scans. For each image, hospitals often bill identical technical component fees for such things as setting up IV fluids even though the setup is performed only once. Blue Cross is battling hospitals over that practice.
• Reward hospitals with low Medicaid costs. Under a system used to maximize federal Medicaid funding, North Carolina requires most hospitals to pay an upfront assessment each year. The state then uses that money as a match to draw federal Medicaid dollars, and returns most of the money assessed to the hospitals. If the new legislation passes, the state would return most of the assessment dollars to hospitals with low Medicaid costs.
Under the bill, the state also would get to keep more of the assessment money $50 million per year, compared with $43 million now. That money would help offset the states Medicaid shortfall, which amounted to more than $500 million last year.
• Ban hospitals owned by the state including UNC Hospitals from seizing the tax refunds of patients who dont pay their bills. Only state-owned hospitals currently have this power. Were trying to level the playing field so everyone is treated the same, said Brown, who co-chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee.
• Encourage a change in leadership at Community Care of North Carolina, a state-funded program aimed at helping Medicaid recipients stay healthy and avoid trips to emergency rooms.
The legislations sponsors say that leaders of the program may not be the best people to control Medicaid costs because most of its board members are health care providers.
The bill would prohibit the state Department of Health and Human Services from contracting with CCNC unless leadership changes are made. Under the new structure, no more than 25 percent of board members could be providers.
Tax breaks to be studied
Most hospitals voluntarily report their charity care spending and policies to the N.C. Hospital Association, which posts the information on its website, https://www.ncha.org/issues/community-benefit.
Hospitals say theyve been working with patients in advance to help determine costs. The N.C. Hospital Association has collected charge information from each hospital for the top 35 inpatient procedures. But few insurers and patients pay full charges, so that information does little to help patients anticipate their actual costs.
At least 14 states but not the Carolinas require collection of health care cost data for use by consumers. The legislation doesnt incorporate some proposals that advocates have said could help patients. Among them: prohibiting hospitals from putting liens on the homes of needy patients. Some North Carolina hospitals have filed thousands of lawsuits against patients, often putting liens on their homes and damaging their credit.
Some states limit what hospitals can do to collect on debts. North Carolina is not among them.
Most North Carolina hospitals are exempt from sales, income and property taxes. Earlier legislative proposals to limit sales tax refunds that go to the largest and most profitable hospitals died after opposition from the hospital industry.
Rucho, who is leading Senate tax reform efforts, said lawmakers will study whether hospitals should be required to pay some sales tax.

A great juggling bag development
A great bag that works very well for me. just the right size for working on 5 or 6. Very soft on the hands but maintains that round look in the air due to the 14 panel design. surprisingly easy on the hands compared to all other props I have tried. Since the outside of the bag is soft some slight rub collisions can be recovered without losing a pattern completely. I strongly recommend this bag. Shawn S — Shawn S
This review came up on our Rave Reviews section of the site and we thought we'd share it:
Dirtbag footbags
I have restarted my interest in kicking footbags after a decades long absence and have purchased lots of footbags in the past few months. I love these Dirtbag bags for how well they stall and kick in general. The Mighty Mite is great for just kicking for consecutives as it is easy to control and stall while the larger Phat Tyre bag will stall on the end of a finger. All I need to do is get my foot in the general vicinity of the bag and it will stall for me. These bags are great for control and a long and invigorating aerobic workout.
–John Read

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Spielberg homage,
Simon Bergeron - See all my reviews
J.J. Abrams may be the king of lens flare on screen, something I don't mind at all, and this tale of children discovering an alien in their neighborhood is truly poignant at times, fun at time, action at times, etc. Spielberg would probably be proud. Abrams doesn't make a mockery of the genre and mixes E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind and sometimes Jaws (for some suspense) for a superb result. Actors (even the kids) give believable and touching performances, the special effects are great, and the reconstruction of the 80s is, quite frankly, mind blowing (having lived through them). Dialogs are spot-on, and the metaphors and horrors (the beginning is brilliant under-play) finish bringing Abrams' tale to cinematic life.
Special features are interesting and lengthy: a nice commentary track, loads of featurettes, interviews, deleted scenes, etc. You won't get bored with these selected bonuses. I honestly didn't expect to get close to 2 hours of stuff, but having 2 hours of comprehensive and entertaining as well as informative behind the scenes segments really honors the film.
Personally, I just loved the movie, even though I didn't know what to expect at first. Having said that, I would advise any newcomer of this movie to try and not remember everything your friends may have told you beforehand.
Brilliant filmmaking, nice homage and never a boring minute (for my tastes, of course)... Add this to your collection, you won't be sorry.

There is a disclaimer in the beginning of the film but there does seem to be a lot of gratuitous potty mouth in the presentation.
Even if the plot was formula and many times formula can be fun, Elle Fanning excelled as a zombie. See her earlier works as Phoebe Lichten in "Phoebe in Wonderland" (2008).

5.0 out of 5 stars Super,
Simple plot but extremely well done and very entertaining. All ages should find this an excellent way to escape for a while. Hard to locate the single DVD and so now the 'combo' package has been reduced to a sensible price don't miss out on this one.

Ce commentaire est de: Super 8 (Bilingual) (DVD)
A cross between the films Stand By Me and District 9, this film combines excellent character development, humour and an exciting action story centered around a government cover-up of a discovery of extra-terrestrial life. I loved that the main characters were primarily kids yet there was an emotional depth to the writing that is not found in most action films.
5.0 out of 5 stars Love this Movie,
This was a great movie. I loved the alien an i loved the child actors. Felt very early Spielberg and I'm a fan of JJ Abrams so it makes it easier to love.

no real big stars in this movie but that doesn't stop the action. Story involves friends filming a train wreck and the government doesn't want anyone to know what was unleashed when the train crashed. good movie.

Ce commentaire est de: Super 8 (Bilingual) (DVD)
Super 8(released June/11)gives us the one two punch of Steven Spielberg and Hollywood's flavour of the moment,J.J.Abrams.The hype would certainly lead one to believe this is an instant classic,a truly unforgettable cinematic experience,a movie you will see again and again,et al.Well,if you've been around movies along as I have,the hype becomes just that,alot of words/hot air to inflate something up,that may or may not have a pay day in the end.And the hype today is pretty much the same stuff they've been dishing out since the 20s.Does Super 8 have a long half life?Let's see.
The plot gives us a group of kids who love to make movies.Each character has their own raison d'etre,as Spielberg and company make each a stand out in their own right,translation:makes them like us ordinary folks.One is a wanna be movie director with a weight problem,one loves to play with matches and explosives,one likes to act but can't,one has a cop for a father and whose mother just passed away,and into this mix is thrown a young girl whose father doesn't get along with the aforesaid cop.
One evening finds the group out at a railroad station filming.A train approaches which will make a fine backdrop for their scene,but something startling will happen.One of them notices a pick up come onto the tracks ahead of the train and deliberately run into it.This causes the train to derail,but the train cars start flying through the air like footballs.By now they have abandoned their camera which has fallen sideways onto the platform but continues to film.In the aftermath they look around at the devastation not believing what just happened,let alone the fact they are all still alive.Suddenly the military approach-ith and the kids ski-doo.
The kids have all agreed not to discuss their experience,as the military has the crash scene sewn up.Slowly but surely strange things are a-happening.Dogs,people and equipment are disappearing in the town at an alarming rate,with no apparent explanation.One evening the girl of the group gets snatched up and taken away by a large creature.The boys stumble onto some notes a school professor had accrued over a long period of time,which has a direct bearing on what is happening now.The military interrupts their gathering and takes them all by bus back for interrogation.Along the way the creature attacks and tips the bus over.It kills the military men,but the kids escape.
In the meantime the military has set a deliberate fire which threatens to engulf the entire town.They evacuate its citizens so they can go on the hunt and recapture this alien.It seems they captured it and its' spaceship years before,but the alien has wanted to go home ever since,and now that it is free this is what it intends to do.The remainders of the group drive back to town in an attempt at rescuing the girl,who has been taken down to an underground cavern.Underground,they indeed find the girl and return to the surface.They are just in time to witness the water tower turn into a giant magnet,drawing objects big and small onto it.The creature goes inside the tower,which immediately converts into an alien craft and away he/she/it goes.
Does this film live up to its 'classic' hype?.....not by a million light years.I found this film to be quite a boring time,frankly.The only thing classic about this film are the Spielberg touches,such as the attention to detail in the characterizations I mentioned earlier,getting the experiences of youth/young love,etc.from their perspective,feeling the ultimate empathy for the alien,one man,er boy,standing bravely up to and connecting with said alien,and finally no Spielberg picture would be complete without a resolution of the parent/child conflict at the beginning of the film,at the end,coupled with a tender reunion to enhance it all.Ahhhh.Trouble is,by the time this film wraps up I couldn't have cared less who made up with who or that the creature made it safely away,or any of the touchy feely moments Spielberg tried to engender.And speaking of the wrap up,I was actually surprised the ending,WAS the ending.I was expecting more footage of...I don't know what....anything,I guess.The film also takes its sweet time meandering its way through its somewhat cumbersome plot,introducing us all to its characters and locations which must engender within us that"Oh yeah,I remember that time",or the old chestnut"Hey Bob,I used to have a house and car just like that".Yep,that's a Spielberg moment,if ever there was one.Except,this is NOT E.T.,and I mean that in the sense that it doesn't come anywhere close to the quality of that film.And you know while we're on the subject and have Mr Spielberg's attention(he always reads my reviews!),I have just about had it with the portrayal of kids of that age who would NEVER in a million years have talked to each other,let alone their parents,in the fashion they do,without dying a million deaths.He can get the clothes right,the music down pretty good but the precociousness that most of his young characters exhibit,has just got to go,OK Steven?
Technically speaking the film is clear and crisp and in its w/s format.There is commentary and two featurettes on the making of the film.
All in all a HUGE disappointment.I try not to let the hype into my reviews and/or influence me in any way.In fact I find the more I know,the more skeptical I am about what is to come.I get to a point and become a Missourian..."Show Me".The hype couldn't save this stinker.The pace and the meandering script are way off the beam and all the tricks Spielberg can muster cannot even save the day here.It's another War of the Worlds(2005).Give it a pass.2 1/2-3 stars.
5.0 out of 5 stars Super Enjoyable!,
koolz03 - See all my reviews
This film rocked! It totally had that 70's and 80's filmmaking vibe and with Spielberg attached it only enhanced that. The acting from the children were very well done and beyond their years. It was a nice little sci-fi film.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A 40-year-old St. Cloud man admitted in court Friday to killing his mother last year, the Stearns County Attorney's Office said.
Chad Matthew Pulju pleaded guilty to intentional murder in the second degree for his mother's Aug. 23, 2012, stabbing death.
On that day, police said they found Pulju's mother covered in blood but alive in a home on Atwood Drive. Standing behind her was her son, with blood on his shirt.
Police also found a blood-covered folding knife under Pulju's left leg.
Crews brought Pulju's mother to the St. Cloud Hospital, where she died. An autopsy showed she had multiple stab wounds on her face and neck.
Pulju is currently in the Stearns County Jail. A sentencing date has yet to be set.

Cosmology deals with the current state of thinking about the basic questions at the center of the field of cosmology. More emphasis than usual is put on the connections to related domains of science, such as geometry, relativity, thermodynamics, particle physics, and - in particular - on the intrinsic connections between the different topics. The chapters are illustrated with many figures that are as exact as currently possible, e.g. in the case of geometry and relativity. Readers acquire a graduate-level knowledge of cosmology as it is required to understand the cosmological impact of their particular research topics, as well as an introduction into the current research in the field.

Recession Risk 'Uncomfortably High': Moody's
NEW YORK ( BankingMyWay) -- In baseball, hitting safely three out of 10 times can land you a big payday, and if you do it long enough, maybe even get you into the Hall of Fame.
In economics, three out of 10 has a different meaning. Specifically, it's the chances of the U.S. sliding back into recession, according to a study released last week by Moody's Analytics, U.S. Macro Outlook: Moving Forward, Slowly.
Moody's chief economist Mark Zandi sees healthy signs and trouble spots for the U.S. economy, and enough of the latter to forecast a 30% chance of recession.
Zandi calls that figure "uncomfortably high" and adds that most risks linked to the nation's economy are "decidedly to the downside." (One bright spot: He says the U.S. housing market appears to be on the mend, which helps the construction industry.)The study also estimates that ongoing U.S. gross domestic product growth will remain at about 2%, with unemployment locked into a rate of more than 8%. As usual with the macroeconomic picture, a pair of culprits receive a brunt of the guilt. "It's hard to see how job growth can gain traction or how employment can decline in earnest until the fiscal cliff and euro area's debt crisis are resolved," Zandi says. The "fiscal cliff" issue can be remedied, Zandi says, but only if Congress can pull its act together and agree on a "credible" tax and spending program that would curb mounting U.S. national debt, which stands at $15.9 trillion. In per capita terms, the U.S. Debt Clock estimates:

Wake on LAN Hardware, Intel® EP80579 Integrated Processor: NoteWake on LAN (WoL) is a Power Management feature that allows a system to remotely wake up from a sleep mode via an Ethernet connection. A specific wake-up packet, such as a Magic Packet* containing the MAC address of the target computer, is sent through Ethernet to the target computer. The target computer checks the packet to ensure that the MAC address in the packet matches the MAC address for the target computer. If a match is confirmed, then the wake-up process starts at the target computer.This application note provides guidance when designing with the Intel® EP80579 Integrated Processor product line for Wake on LAN (WoL) applications. This document focuses on the power rails and power management requirements to allow normal operation and wake up from a sleep mode. The power rail and power management requirements ensure that the hardware used to support WoL is active, ready to detect the Magic Packets, and wake the system. The document also covers EEPROM settings, BIOS requirements, and the operating system configuration required to enable WoL.Read the full Wake on LAN Hardware, Intel® EP80579 Integrated Processor Note.

'Veronica Mars' Rob Thomas Calls Fans' Funding 'A Miracle' at Variety Awards
Variety's Breakthrough of the Year Award recipients hit the red carpet Thursday night at the LVH Theater in Las Vegas during the Consumer Electronics Show.
"Veronica Mars" creator Rob Thomas thanked the fans of the series because "getting the film funded was nothing more than a miracle." "Veronica Mars" stars Kristen Bell and Ryan Hansen have yet to see the bigscreen version of the show, which will be shown at Austin's SXSW Fest and the PaleyFest2014. "The fact that the film got made is a breakthrough," Bell said.
Singer Skylar Grey said she looked forward to a great beginning for 2014, where the Breakthrough Award is the first she's received at an award show. "I've had a lot of pressure over the last few years," she said. "There's a lot more freedom to create now."
Comic Amy Schumer, who will star in "Trainwreck," the comedy she has been developing with Judd Apatow, said receiving the Breakthrough Award "has come through a lot of hard work. I've been doing stand-up for 10 years. The fact that it got noticed means so much to me. There are a lot of people that work so hard as me and do my get noticed."
Will Forte, who is generating praise for his dramatic role in "Nebraska," said he "got lucky" to get the part in the Alexander Payne pic and couldn't thank the director enough. "It came out of nowhere," said the actor known mostly for his comedic roles. "I know how rare of an opportunity it is to be in a movie like this," Forte said. "I'm not going to get greedy.
Breakthrough Awards host Nick Cannon, who was promoting his new tablet at CES, said the awards honor people who "are being individuals and do things in their own way; when someone goes down their own path, people notice."
"Extra" co-host Maria Menounos called herself "a geek" and is attracted to any device that makes the production process simpler, whether it's on her series or through her digital broadcasting venture AfterBuzz. "Being at CES with your digital company is the place to be."
"Burning Love" co-star Paul Scheer called it a breakthrough that his web series beat Grumpy Cat for the honor. "I know you're out there Grumpy Cat, but we fucking beat you."
Singer Janelle Monae, who performed at the show, said she felt "blessed and fortunate" to receive the Breakthrough Award in music and that this still feels like "the beginning of my career." She said she was "privileged" to follow in the footsteps of icons like "Star Trek's" Nichelle Nichols and astronaut Sally Ride and "do something as important as them." Creating music is part of her DNA, she said. "I'm always working on music."
