Interview with Margo
Q: Many people think that meditation is sitting in a lotus position with both eyes closed for a certain length of time. Is that all what is happening during meditation?

There is no doubt that the machine-to-machine market, as a component of The Internet of Things, holds a lot of promise for many OEMs, ISVs and ICT service providers. I'm currently writing Gartner's first ever user survey related to M2M solutions. The survey engaged over 600 user companies across the US, UK, France and Germany. Our survey avoided specific vertical market solutions in favor of more horizontally focused point solutions:
- Asset tracking and location
- Asset monitoring and control
- Logistics control and optimization
- Asset serviceability
- Security monitoring
- Energy demand response
- Environmental monitoring
- Payment processing
- Messaging, notification & advertising
- Regulatory compliance monitoring
One thing is clear in the results: the next 24 months will be challenging to convince companies to integrate new M2M solutions if there isn't significant promise of cost reduction related to the companies own operations or how efficiently they provide service to their own enterprise customer base. This perspective has been validated in my inquiry calls with Gartner clients – user and providers.
In terms of market objections, we found among the 377 respondents with no plans to deploy M2M solutions that the biggest objection to M2M investment, across all geographies, is a lingering doubt that connecting OT and IT, or simply applying M2M connectivity to IT, will provide measurable business value. This feedback is likely based on a lack of knowledge and ineffective solution positioning by providers. In my inquiries I hear user's frustration with how their provider's enable inflated expectations in the pre-sales phase only to back off claims when confronted with the user's real world requirement to establish an ROI expectation in a contract. The gap is sometimes massive…and off-putting.
While the success of M2M adoption is certain, the timeline of success is less so. In 2012, we will hear more success stories yet I believe that the growth rates will under-perform many of the standing forecasts in the market today. I expect the survey analysis document to be published in early February 2012. I will follow the survey analysis will a market forecast later in the year.
In the interim, I look forward to speaking to you about IT services an outsourcing opportunities related to M2M solutions.

Abused Heiress - Anne Scripps Douglas
It's unfair to characterize him as a boy from the other side of the tracks, because just about everyone is on the other side compared to where Anne Scripps Douglas grew up. Scott grew up in Rye, New York, the son of a single mother trying to raise a young family after the death of her husband. When his mother remarried, Scott fought with his stepfather, but friends recalled the fights were not out of the ordinary between men and boys in similar situations.
Living in Rye, Scott saw how the other half lived and yearned to join the well-heeled. He didn't have the educational drive to get there through college, however, and one former acquaintance told the press that he had talked about marrying a wealthy woman.
The friend the same man who said Scott had no respect for women said Anne was not the first well-to-do older woman Scott was involved with.
"Anne Scripps was small potatoes compared to some of the gals. There were Mercedes, Cadillacs ... all pulling up to see him," said Wallace Rouse. "The gals he went around with were very substantial, very beautiful. He was an earthshaker, had a personality to make movie stars look like a bunch of bums."
Others agreed.
"He was a good-looking guy," said Eleanore Hannon, who lived below him in Greenwich. "He had a great body, was very good looking, charming, affable, a Boy Scout of a guy. With a light and dark side."
There was nothing in Scott's background to indicate he was capable of fatal violence, but he did partake of illegal drugs and fathered two children out of wedlock a secret he kept from Anne. It would turn out later that he kept many secrets from Anne and told her many lies.
Rouse, who lived near Douglas, recalls that there were fights occasionally, but attributes them more to Scott's tendency to date more than one woman at a time than to a personality disorder.
Scott was handsome and tall, and there was nothing in his demeanor that would have indicated he would turn into a murderer. He had an unusual hobby, taxidermy, so it wasn't odd to find a dead raccoon or other varmint in his freezer awaiting preparation, but they weren't trophies of the sort many violent killers like to have.
One thing that most people can agree on Scott Douglas was tight-lipped and private. He could keep a secret, and even people who saw him on a regular basis knew little about his private life. He tended to compartmentalize his life. After he married Anne he shrugged off his old friends' inquiries about life with the rich and famous. He continued to maintain an apartment in town after the marriage to Anne, but it was basically a storage facility for his painting business. Scott rarely spent the night there, only doing so after the marriage became rocky. To Anne's wealthy friends, he was standoffish, which they believed came from feelings of inferiority. They made efforts to be friendly, but Scott didn't seem interested. This became a vicious cycle. He tried to peel her away from her friends, they resented him, he felt unwanted and tried even more to build a wall between Anne and her circle.

Oh, goodness, someone please help! I am getting ready to go out of town and had to my plants in something quick, so I went to Dollar Tree and got these great containers I can use. See the thread below for info on them if you want a good deal, too:
http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/contain/msg0818220330611.html Well, I now just need to know for the 2 gallon ones, where do I put the holes for best drainage / water retention, and how many holes do I need? I've heard that it's good to put holes starting at 2 inches up from the bottom all along the sides. The traditional idea, though, is to put holes in the bottom. I'm using a 1/4 inch drill bit, too, so the holes are not going to be huge. Should I put a bunch of holes or just a few. Will it help them to retain moisture if I don't put too many holes, or would that lead to root rot near the bottom of the container? ~Angela |

What plants are you putting in the containers? If you are putting something like canna, then I wouldn't put any holes. Most pots I have seen only have one small hole at the bottom, and that seems to work, so I do not think I would overthink this too much. |
Hi John, thanks for the reply. I'm putting veggies in them. I've only done 3 so far (hoping to know more before I plant the rest), and I put the holes in the bottom about an inch apart each. The soil was way too wet on the last one and, boy, it sure wasn't draining very fast... I guess that could be a good thing, but if it takes TOO long, then that could be bad. So far, I think it'll be okay. I was too scared to put the holes on the side as that is not the most common place you see them and, perhaps, that might be for a reason(?), so until I know better, I guess this will have to work. I'll try to give an update when I know better how these are working. ~Angela |

Jim Cryns on Sports
I completely understand the retirement of uniform numbers. I respect the dignity and overall gesture embodied in the ceremony, especially in the case of players of historical significance like Jackie Robinson. His courageous entry into the exclusively white Wonder Bread ranks of professional baseball preceded the heroics of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King by decades. Branch Rickey, the owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers, was instrumental in breaking the racial barrier. While his primary motive may or may not have been getting one of the best players in the world on his team, Rickey's reasons are incidental. His ultimate actions are what mean so much more.

Chinese entrepreneur building 'dual-shore' software company in Kirkland
Four years ago, Chinese entrepreneur Tianwen Liu met two Microsoft veterans and eventually bought their small technology-consulting firm. He merged it with his fast-growing software company headquartered in Beijing. ISoftStone aims to find a niche by creating software for specialized industries, such as banking and telecommunications, and by helping U.S. companies gain a foothold in China. Liu calls this model "dual-shore," combining skills from the U.S. and China.
Seattle Times business reporter
At first blush, iSoftStone seems like your standard Eastside software company: executives with a Microsoft pedigree, a prime location in Kirkland (Google was the last tenant; Bill Gates' private office is just down the street), a large mural of snow-capped Cascade peaks and a deck with views across Lake Washington.
But subtle touches reflect iSoftStone's place in the rapidly changing world economy.
The red doors of its conference rooms, for instance, are named for the Chinese cities where iSoftStone has major operations: Beijing, Wuxi, Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou. Company executives said they chose the location in part for its feng shui.
"Water means wealth and profit in traditional Chinese culture," said Edward Yang, president of iSoftStone's North American business.
"I believe we'll be successful here."
Four years ago, Chinese entrepreneur Tianwen Liu met two Microsoft veterans and eventually merged their small technology-consulting firm into his fast-growing software company headquartered in Beijing.
Since then iSoftStone has listed its shares on the New York Stock Exchange, raising $141 million in its initial public offering, and hired more than 200 people in Kirkland. It's poised to double the number there in the next two years, Liu said.
Liu, who goes by "T.W.," has an easygoing, low-key manner that contrasts with big ambitions. He embodies an effort by Chinese companies to "go out" and establish their brands, moving China from the world's sweatshop to a technology powerhouse.
With teams and customers on either side of the Pacific, iSoftStone is blending cultures to produce a new kind of global company.
ISoftStone specializes in information-technology outsourcing, building websites, integrating software systems and creating mobile applications for its customers — Chinese and multinational companies including UBS, Citi and Huawei.
With more than 9,000 employees in 14 offices throughout China, it can do the work at a relatively low cost and deliver it around the clock.
While Indian companies have long dominated the market for offshore software development, Chinese companies are trying to catch up.
ISoftStone aims to find a niche by creating software and services for specialized industries, such as banking and telecommunications, and by helping companies gain a foothold in China.
That includes developing technology appropriate for the market, finding a partner and promoting the product locally.
"We're trying to position the company differently," Liu said. "We don't want to just provide low-cost services, like outsourcing, taking jobs away. We want to create a win-win solution for our partners, and help them do business in China."
Microsoft customer
In the Seattle area, one of the biggest customers is Microsoft. In China, iSoftStone launched Microsoft's HealthVault, an online account that lets people store and monitor their health information and connect to various health systems and services.
Most hospitals in China are government-owned, so iSoftStone promoted the technology to city officials and is now implementing the system in the eastern city of Wuxi, near Shanghai.
When iSoftStone bought Akona, a consulting company started by Microsoft veterans Lincoln Popp and Anders Brown, it made Seattle's technology hub the jumping-off point for iSoftStone's expansion in North America. Liu said iSoftStone has invested about $10 million in the Seattle area, and the company plans more acquisitions.
Both Brown and Popp have stayed on and managed the business in Kirkland as the company increased fivefold over the past three years, despite the economic downturn.
"Most of our employees are very excited and interested in what's going on around the globe, in the global economy and in particular the connection to China," Brown said.
Liu, 48, grew up in central China and studied engineering in Wuhan, and then received a master's degree from the University of Massachusetts and his MBA from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
He worked at Siemens, Bechtel and Digital Equipment Corp. before co-founding AsiaEC in China. That became China's largest online-office supplier and was bought by Office Depot in 2006. He founded iSoftStone in 2001 and owns 17.8 percent.
ISoftStone Vice President Weiling Li said Liu is unlike some CEOs, who rule from the top down "like emperors."
On business trips, "many executives bring two secretaries with them," Li said. "T.W. comes alone with his laptop," flying economy class.
"I always have to be a leader, to do everything; yi shen zuo ze," Liu said, a Chinese idiom meaning to lead by example. "You have to have high standards for ethics, treating people fair. And learning fast."
The advantage of being based in China also presented one of the company's biggest challenges. Rising after its IPO, iSoftStone's stock then dropped more than 30 percent in the past month after another Chinese company, Hong Kong-based Longtop Financial Technologies, became the target of an SEC investigation.
The SEC is evaluating claims by Longtop's auditor, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, that the company falsified financial records and interfered in the audit process.
While the alleged fraud at Longtop "dragged down the whole sector," Liu saw an opportunity to stand out from the competition. "I think this is a good chance to show to our investors we are different. We really follow a high standard of governance. We are a U.S.-listed company. We comply 100 percent with the U.S. SEC."
The investigation comes amid increased scrutiny of Chinese accounting practices by the SEC, which has revoked the registrations of eight China-based companies since December, according to Reuters.
"Investors are anxious about the Chinese IT space and Chinese governance and transparency in general," said James Friedman, an analyst with Susquehanna Financial Group.
ISoftStone has some key elements of good corporate governance: a chief financial officer who is also a U.S. certified-public accountant, and a board with independent directors, Friedman said. But with other Chinese firms under scrutiny, "it's sort of guilt by association."
ISoftStone's stock recovered somewhat after UBS analyst Arvind Ramnani upgraded his rating to "buy" from "neutral," saying the company's financial situation is solid and its customers satisfied. Shares closed Wednesday at $15.75.
New offices
Last month iSoftStone moved into a new 13,300-square-foot office and threw a welcoming party with 100 guests — state and city government leaders, technology partners and others.
The company worked with King County to map the county's trail system using Windows Live and Bing. It's also helping an aerospace company with online marketing in China.
ISoftStone expects a profit of $15.5 million to $17.5 million this year on sales of $260 million to $275 million.
"We are highly committed to Washington state," Liu said. "I strongly believe that our culture, as a global company, continues to improve as we have shared goals and common values."

Molitor gets the shaft in new Miller Park Parking Lot
Miller Park November 19th, 2009
Brew Beat has a great piece about some of the upgrades at Miller Park taking place this season. Lots of cool stuff like $1 Uecker parking, more shopping and an improved smoking area. (Even though I don't smoke I will always have a special place in my heart for the smoking area after I joined a friend out there and we saw see two girls making out. I'm pretty sure they lost that day, but I will always remember that game.) They also took the liberty of renaming the parking lots, thus ruining my perfect memorization of them, after the great Brewers legends of all time. Yount, Uecker, Cooper, Spahn, Fingers and Money are all covered here. One player, however, seems to have gotten the shaft from the team. Take a look. Read the rest of this entry »
JJ Hardy: Step by Step
Baseball November 18th, 2009
A buddy of mine asked me why we haven't covered the departure of "gay-gay" yet and I really didn't really have a good explanation for him. The Brewers career of JJ Hardy is the kind of career that was great at the time, but over the years we'll eventually forget all about it. Kind of like New Kids on the Block. Like NKOTB, JJ was beloved by young girls and just like NKOTB, JJ peaked at a young age. Don't believe me? Let's take a look at the seemingly parallel careers of JJ Hardy and New Kids on the Block.

Brandon Jennings and the Bucks
Off-Base November 17th, 2009
According to an extremely small sample size of my twitter followers the Bucks aren't quite back, but Brandon Jennings definitely has their attention. Following one player over the rest of the team seems about par for the course for an NBA team so this isn't very surprising. Personally I make no qualms about liking the Bucks now specifically because of this one player so I don't really have a problem with it. He's awesome and it's certainly better than not liking the Bucks at all right? But the more I thought about it, the more I thought that while this sort of behavior is perfectly acceptable for you and me maybe the rest of the Bucks players don't feel the same way. Everyone I talk to says that the past few games at the Bradley Center have been the loudest they have been to in years and it's all because of this one guy. That can't do much for Andrew Bogut's self esteem, right? Then again, what do I know about the Bucks locker room? It's not like I have ever been inside of it, recording their conversations and dictating them on the internet. OR HAVE I. Read the rest of this entry »
So ladies, you want to date Miller Park Drunk huh?
Off-Base November 13th, 2009
I have this friend and her friend loves this site. Like loves it, loves it. This person (who I have never met) loves the site an therefore loves me. No, seriously. It's true. I am not making this up. In fact of the 480 facebook fans we have a whopping 32% of them are female! That's like 153 girls reading this site! Do you realize what this all means? Chicks frickin' dig me.
Now look girls I know that you think this is all fun and games, but this is serious business. I'm not some trollop you can just post a few comments on his website and next thing you know I'm taking you out to dinner at a fancy restaurant like Red Lobster. I'm sorry, but it just doesn't work that way. I have feelings, I have emotions, I cried at the end of Wall-E! I'm sophisticated, I watch Mad Men! You can't just mosey on in with your sexy facebook profile pictures and think you're going to horn in on all my riches and move into my lush two bedroom apartment. No, you have to be a special kind of lady to get involved with this guy. There was this one time in high school when my best friend and I made a bet that I couldn't turn the ugliest girl in school (and she was really ugly too, pig tails and glasses! gross!) into the prom queen. Well, I changed that girl and she ended up being beautiful, but she didn't win the prom, she won my heart. I made that bet before I knew her, before I really knew me and that was the night that I realized that it's not what's on the outside that counts. It's what's on the inside.
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me
Where was I at? Prom? I wonder what ever happened to that girl. Yeah, like I was really going to art school with her. Idiot. Wait, that wasn't it. Oh yeah, chicks digging me that are reading this site.
Girls if this is something that you're really interested in doing I have a few guidelines I'd like for you to follow. A few dealbreakers. A few tips. If you think you're serious about this read ahead, but proceed with caution. It's about to get real. Read the rest of this entry »
MPD Book Club: The Book of Basketball
Off-Base November 10th, 2009
Bill Simmons is a writer for ESPN that you probably have heard of. He's probably the biggest "celebrity" writer on the internet and is responsible for roughly 1/5 of the posts at Deadspin. Despite influencing roughly every sports blog on the internet and setting a gold standard that anyone who thinks that it's a good idea to write on the internet should try to attain, he is one of the most divisive figures in the sports blogging world. Often accused of being smug, a name dropper and overusing the same references time and time again (I once emailed him begging him to stop with the Battle of the Network Stars references) Simmons is generally un-apologetic over his style. His style is his style. He has his fans (which I count myself as one) and his detractors, but in the end there's not much you can say negatively about him. His "voice of the fan" perspective has become skewered a bit over the years, but it still is a "voice of the fan" because when it comes to baseball, the NFL or gambling on the NFL he doesn't know what he's talking about most of the time (just like a real fan.) However, when it comes to basketball Bill Simmons leaves the "voice of the fan" behind and becomes something wholly different, one of the greatest living basketball writers alive.
Now, I've never been the biggest basketball guy. I think it's a great sport to watch, but there have been one too many times in my lifetime when the officials have clearly affected the outcome of a game and you can't tell me any different that the league didn't influence these decisions. The most egregious example would of course be the Dallas/Miami Finals from a couple of years back. I know that I'm not the only one who feels this way and was completely turned off by this series, but somehow the NBA always finds ways to pull me back in. Whether it's Lebron James or Brandon Jennings, I always find a reason to end up watching some games and a lot of this can probably be attributed to the writing of Bill Simmons. His passion for the game in his columns is infectious and there have been more than a few times I have ended up watching a playoff series because he will not shut up about it (Bulls/Celtics from last season is a great example.) When I found out that Bill Simmons had written a 700 page book about basketball I pre-ordered it right away. I've always enjoyed him as a writer and he is far too serious about the sport of basketball to mess this up. When The Book of Basketball arrived eight days ago I dug right in and I wasn't disappointed. Read the rest of this entry »

Here are some photos from disassembling Panasonic TZ7 camera (also known as Panasonic ZS3).
Panasonic made good work and everything is pretty easy. No hidden screws or things like that. You do no need any special tools, just standard Philips screwdriver.
The camera was accidentally immersed in salt water (Mediterranean Sea). Unfortunately event after cleaning it was not possible to make it work. In such cases it's good to put camera immediately into fresh water.
The goal of this tutorial is to show how to remotely control brightness of the LED using BeagleBone Linux powered board.
BeagleBone will run web service that allows to control LED using simple web application. Thanks to that you do not need to install any extra software. Any device that has web browser installed can be used as remote controller, e.g. smartphone, laptop etc.
This is a project of the simple wheel. Since factory made wheels prizes are not very attractive (10€ for a piece of plastic does not look good), it's cheaper to make it yourself. The wheel is optimized to be printed on 3D printer.
The robot is able to balance on two wheels.
Originally this project was created using only junk parts to test software for electric unicycle. But as time passed the initial design was upgraded. At the beginning robot was using 2 hacked car lamp servos as motors, ATmega16 board, quickly assembled motor controller based on L293 and the only brand new part: gyro + 2 axis accelerometer board.
Gear Position Indicator displays gear number for motorcycles, scooters or cars.
This guide describes principles of PWM for Atmel AVR micro controllers. It is not complete documentation for PWM nor AVR timers but tries to lighten some practical aspects of PWM. Some of the PWM aspects are simplified, some are not mentioned at all. Usability was the main factor when writing this text. Full PWM description can be found in Atmel AVR documentation.
Although the article was written based on ATmega16 and ATmega32 documentation, information is useful for any chip from AVR family.
RS485 is an alternatve for RS232 for long distances. Maximum length of the cable for RS232 is only 15m. For RS485 it is about 1200m. In addition you can connect many devices to RS485 bus (unlike RS232 — only 2).

By Brian Mockenhaupt
Photograph by Chris Buck
David Fincher sometimes slips into theaters for early screenings of his movies and listens for the gasps and laughs. He sometimes stands outside on opening night and watches the expressions of those coming out. And sometimes the critiques come to him. "I don't have the Tom Hanks fans," he says. "When you make the kind of movies I make, you get weird letters from people." They say, Seven was my idea. That sort of thing. And all the noncrazy types have comments, too, when talk at a cocktail party turns to work, to his movies, and a Beverly Hills wife wants to tell him what she really thinks. You have no right. It's not good to show Gwyneth Paltrow's head in a box, she'll say. It's unnecessary.
I didn't do that.
No, I saw it.
Uh, no. You're wrong.
Those conversations heat up because Fincher, known for directing dark, hyperstylized movies, has little patience for the ignorant. But such comments also tell him he's getting through, making his audience work for him and fill in the gaps, imagining what isn't there. Watch Seven again, look for the violence, and you won't see as much as you remember.
Maybe he's a bit misunderstood because of it, this guy who makes movies about a killer carving up people for a Bible lesson on the deadly sins or frustrated men beating the crap out of one another for fun. But while he doesn't mind filming a good, blood-spattering punch to the face, the question for Fincher is not one of quantity, but of intent. "You can do something that walks a line, and invariably, whatever that line is, it will be crossed by people who don't know any better and want to ape the success," he says. "People say, 'Wow, Seven's about degradation, and it made some money.' I don't mean this as high-minded or artistic, but it does, I think, walk a fairly tasteful line."
He's still walking that line, this time with the story of the Zodiac killer, who shot and stabbed several people around the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 1960s. Like Seven, the movie downplays the killer's "wet work," as Fincher calls it. "I want to make a movie that has enough impact that it's going to do what it needs to do," he says. "But I don't want to make a film that serial killers masturbate to."
Slashing and screams can be scary. But far more disturbing for Fincher is the aftermath, seeing a killer take stock of his work, wash his hands, mop the floor, plan the rest of his day. And more disturbing still is the unknown. Think of Jeffrey Dahmer eating people in his apartment, with his neighbors none the wiser. "For me, the scariest thing about a serial killer is that there's somebody who lives next door to you," Fincher says, "running power tools late into the night, and you don't know he has a refrigerator full of penises."
Okay, but still, it must be said: David Fincher's are vastly entertaining.
He is a reluctant standard-bearer for the darkness of our inner lives, but he has become a standard-bearer nonetheless. This is notable because he has made but six movies, including two about serial killers (Seven, Zodiac), two portraits of abject paranoia (The Game, Panic Room), and one genuine work of art, Fight Club, for which he was called a sadist. His reputation, then, is much larger than his resume.
And for making the kinds of movies that he makes, he seems like a very happy man. Untortured, unbothered, unguarded, socially adept. Friendly. Kind. Nice guy. Doesn't seem to have an inflated sense of his own importance. Of course, the very fact of David Fincher's own normalcy tends to support his basic theory of life and alienation and art: "As much as people pretend 'I fit in, I understand, I get the rules,' there are always times spent away from that where you go, 'I thought I knew. It seemed so clear to me, and then . . .' That sense of loneliness, or the sense of not fitting in or being out of depth, is probably the most common denominator," he says.
Behind his desk in his Hollywood office hangs a seventies-style oil painting of waves crashing on a beach with the words pitiless purity dude superimposed across the scene in huge white letters that shrink toward the horizon. It seems like a declaration of principles. And you might expect Fincher to be cynical, brooding. He laughs at this, then responds rather seriously that he's not cynical; he's just realistic. "Entertainment has to come hand in hand with a little bit of medicine," he says. "Some people go to the movies to be reminded that everything's okay. I don't make those kinds of movies. That, to me, is a lie. Everything's not okay."
He says this with a smile on his face, not wry or ironic but sweet. He pauses, closes his eyes, and tilts his head back. Fincher is deliberate and specific in speech. He measures his words. He works his fingers into his temples, then presses his thumbs over his eyes, building thoughts the way he constructs his mental scenes, laying out his plans. He opens his eyes.
"You have a responsibility for the way you make the audience feel," he says, "and I want them to feel uncomfortable."
It's not easy to reconcile the guy who says that with this dude who makes movies, wearing a T-shirt and corduroys, feet kicked up on a table, letting the unreturned calls pile up, answering an e-mail an hour, pecking the letters with index fingers, easygoing, unpretentious, happy. Well, not totally happy. He didn't sleep last night. He's still finishing Zodiac, tweaking and trimming, and next week he'll be in New Orleans shooting his next movie, but right now he's just chilling. He seems too laid-back for the Teutonic minimalist chic of his office, with its cement floors and bare walls and skylight twenty feet above casting pale light through the room. His massive wooden slab of a desk, three feet wide and ten feet long, is clutter free, save for a pile of scripts and binders marked confidential. Of course, he has stacks of coffee-table film books--Hitchcock, Kubrick, European cinema. On the back wall hang several small photographs of his teenage daughter. Parked next to the Zodiac poster is his Segway scooter, and parked under the TV are his Xbox and PlayStation. He has several games, some driving, some shooting, but he plays just one: Madden 2007. The only reading material in his bathroom is Madden NFL 07: The Official Guide. "I like the idea of football as chess," he says. "I love the strategery." But playing Madden is fun, and directing movies isn't. He says his job is like four- dimensional chess, and he finds it painful and frustrating and too wrought with compromise. "I do films because I love films, because otherwise it would just be too damn hard, too painful. It's just too awful," he says.
At forty-four, he is a middle-aged dad with a longtime girlfriend who is also his line producer. He watches football on weekends, a little indulgence, and doesn't exercise as much as he'd like. Gray is spreading through his goatee. His hair's thinner and his body thicker. But his eyes counter those benchmarks of age. They are the eyes of the young, the curious, and the questioning. His creative interests run wide, same as when he was a boy, making fake blood, building models and blowing them up. Now he wants to make video games and an opera, turn Fight Club into a musical, and make an adult cartoon. Not that kind. A computer-generated animated movie for grown-ups. This town is the place for that, with all its quirkiness and artistic energy. "Hollywood is great. I also think it's stupid and small-minded and shortsighted," he says. "I'm sure there are people who get into movies so they can get nice tables at restaurants."
Do you get nice tables?
Do you ask for nice tables?

Caption Contest: Win '100 Bloody Acres' on Blu-ray By Putting Words In This Australian's Mouth
Free Stuff By Rob Hunter on September 27, 2013 | Comments (21)Not everyone agrees that horror and comedy can work together in unison, but those people are fools. Insidious, Return of the Living Dead, and Cabin in the Woods are just a few examples of movies that mix laughs and gore (and/or scares) to near genre perfection. Not to be outdone the beautiful land of Australia has gotten into the action with 100 Bloody Acres. It's heavier on the laughs than the scares, but it's chock full of the red stuff.

Take a Stand! And Win a 'Bully' DVD Pack
Features By Christopher Campbell on February 9, 2013 | Comments (5)One of the most popular and powerful documentaries of last year, Lee Hirsch's Bully is a film about the continuing crisis of bullying, which affects kids nationwide. In our own review, we call it "an intense, heartbreaking movie that every parent and school official should see." Now it's also a particularly important topic relevant to discussions of school violence. And it finally arrives on home video this Tuesday (February 12) on the heels of winning the Audience Choice award at the 2013 Cinema Eye Honors and finishing out the year as the fourth highest-grossing doc of 2012. You can go ahead and buy a copy right away, or you can try to win a DVD from Film School Rejects, and we'll throw in a couple promotional anti-bullying rubber wristbands, on which are printed "IT'S TIME TO TAKE A STAND." The DVD, from Anchor Bay Entertainment and The Weinstein Compay, features a bunch of bonus tracks, including six deleted scenes (half of which star the teen subject Alex and then one each for Kelby, Caine and Jake). There are also other videos of Alex updating us on how he's doing today and his appearance on Good Morning America. Another bonus video stars Meryl Streep talking about the film and the issue.
LA Rejects! Win a Chance to Visit 'Harmontown' and Meet 'Community' Creator Dan Harmon
Features By Scott Beggs on February 1, 2013 | Be the First To CommentA long time ago, there used to be a show on television called Community, and everyone loved it because it was stirringly funny, used the language of culture in order to explore the dimensions of humanity, and because Alison Brie had the whole sexy innocence thing down to a science. Or an art. Or some kind of art-based science. Some claim the show will eventually return, but even if it does, it will do so without creator Dan Harmon. Fortunately for all of us, he's been touring the country with his friends, trying to find people willing to become citizens of "Harmontown." He's bringing that show (along with Marc Maron, Duncan Trussell and Bobcat Goldthwait) back home to Los Angeles, and now you can win a pair of tickets to their Homecoming program at the Egyptian Theater this Monday (2/4). We'll even personally introduce you to Harmon and his special guests. So how do you enter the contest?
7 Upload! Win One of the Last Remaining 'Up' Series Box Sets!
Features By Christopher Campbell on January 12, 2013 | Be the First To CommentUpdate: As it turns out, the box set we're giving away does actually include 49 Up, so now you get seven installments! This week, in the midst of celebrating the theatrical release of 56 Up (see my review), I heard some unfortunate news. Most of the Up series has recently gone out of print in the U.S. This should only be temporary, but at the moment you can't buy a copy of First Run's DVD box set that includes Seven Up!, 7 Plus Seven, 21 Up, 28 Up, 35 Up and 42 Up (nor the one that also includes 49 Up). The only installments available, to get separately, are 42 Up and 49 Up. Of course, you can still currently view all of these documentaries by streaming on Netflix or Amazon. However, any true movie fan (let alone documentary lover) needs to physically own this monumental series, through which filmmaker Michael Apted (taking over from original director Paul Almond) has been following the lives of about a dozen individuals for half a century, since they were 7-years-old. Fortunately, for one of you readers, Film School Rejects has one of the last remaining copies of the seven-film box set (the one that goes up to 49 Up) to give away. And we're going to have a bit of fun with this drawing by only qualifying those who do the following:

Features By Kate Erbland on January 7, 2013 | Be the First To CommentThis contest is now closed. Thank you for entering! This week is a banner one for Sir Nicolas Cage (what? he hasn't been knighted yet? who cares!), as today marks Cage's birthday and the day before the home video release of his Stolen on DVD and Blu-ray. And you thought your last birthday was special! To mark the release of Stolen (which, in case you didn't know, re-teams Cage with his Con Air director Simon West for another action thriller that involves Cage having to be badass and clear his name in a plot that also involves fast-moving vehicles), we're giving away a very special prize pack of Cage-starring Blu-rays.

A Sexually Inappropriate Super Spy-Related Giveaway! Win 'Archer' Season 3 on DVD
Features By Rob Hunter on January 2, 2013 | Comments (70)Did you hear that Skyfall passed the one billion dollar mark recently at the international box-office? Yeah, pretty cool. But you know who's not impressed with James Bond's latest accomplishment? Archer, Sterling Archer. FX's infamous secret agent could give a flying screw (a move he patented by the way) about Bond and his movie. Ask Archer for his opinion on any film in the franchise, and he'll most likely reply "It's no Gator." Which is true of course. And to celebrate his complete indifference on the subject we've been authorized to give away two copies of Archer's third season on DVD. How can you win? Easy… leave a comment below telling us your favorite spy-related movie *that isn't part of the Bond series.*

Get Ready to Battle Zombies, Ghosts, and Ghoulies With a Charming 'ParaNorman' Prize Pack
Free Stuff By Kate Erbland on August 7, 2012 | Comments (105)This contest is now closed. Thank you for entering! Laika Entertainment returns to screens with their first new film since their Academy Award-nominated Coraline with Sam Fell and Chris Butler's ParaNorman, a charming as all get-out 3D stop-motion comedy thriller about a boy with some very special (and very weird) capabilities. Young Norman (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee) doesn't have a friend in the world – a living friend that is – because he can talk to ghosts and witches and, as it turns out, zombies. Those skills might not fly in the American middle school, but they certainly come in handy when his town (already saddled with a witch-hunting past) is overrun by the brain-eaters. To get you ready to battle whatever monsters who might wander into your town, we're giving away one (1) prize packs from ParaNorman to one (that is 1) lucky winner. The grand prize pack includes: a $25 Visa gift card, a t-shirt, a keychain, a notebook, a pair of slippers (like Norman's own), a toothbrush (also just like Norman's!), and a backpack. To win one (1) prize pack from Sam Fell and Chris Butler's ParaNorman, all you have to do is jump down into the comments section and let us know what your favorite old school horror film is (Norman is a big fan of classic thrillers and chillers). Please also provide your email address in your comment. This contest is only open to U.S. residents. The contest will close on Wednesday, August 15th, at […]
A 'Rachel Weisz Is Fit' Related Giveaway! Win 'The Deep Blue Sea' On Blu-ray!
Free Stuff By Rob Hunter on July 28, 2012 | Comments (55)Rachel Weisz is one spectacularly talented actress. She doesn't get the award accolades of Meryl Streep, but she's as good. She doesn't get the hubba-hubba comments of Jessica Biel, but she's as beautiful. And she doesn't get the high profile, big budget blockbuster roles of Kristen Stewart, but she's, well, she's older. Her latest film is sumptuous period drama, The Deep Blue Sea, that finds her playing a young wife trapped in an unexciting marriage to an esteemed judge. A chance meeting with a RAF pilot (Tom Hiddleston) leads to a tumultuous affair that may very well be the end of her. Music Box Films released the film on Blu-ray/DVD earlier this week, and in addition to the highly acclaimed film itself the disc includes commentary from director Terence Davies, two special 'making-of' features and interviews with Weisz and Hiddleston. Keep reading to see how you can win a copy of The Deep Blue Sea on Blu-ray.
Putting the Fun in Dysfunctional: Win a Signed Poster from 'Union Square'
Free Stuff By Kate Erbland on July 9, 2012 | Comments (17)Editor's note: This contest is now closed. Thank you for participating! You can't choose your family. You can certainly choose to get away from them, but that doesn't change who they are and that you're truly stuck with them forever. In Nancy Savoca's Union Square, Jenny (Tammy Blanchard) thinks she's escaped her nutty family (including her sister Lucy and their mom, played by Patti LuPone) after years of estrangement, but when flighty Lucy (Mira Sorvino) suddenly shows up at Jenny's apartment with some really unexpected news, that all changes. To remind you that, hey, everyone's family is nuts, we're giving away one (1) signed poster from Union Square. The standard one-sheet poster has been signed by Mira Sorvino, Tammy Blanchard and director Nancy Savoca. To win one (1) signed poster from Nancy Savoca's Union Square, all you have to do is jump down into the comments section and let us know the title of your favorite film about dysfunctional families (we'll leave it to you and your tastes to pick "fun" one). Please also provide your email address in your comment. This contest is only open to U.S. residents. The contest will close on Friday, July 13th, at 8:00PM PST.

Prepare for the Apocalypse With a 'Seeking a Friend for the End of the World' Prize Pack
Free Stuff By Kate Erbland on June 25, 2012 | Comments (92)This contest is now closed. Thank you for entering! Armageddon films have been done, pardon me, to death. Packed with big emotions and big explosions, we're rarely granted a fresh take on a bloated genre, by Lorene Scafaria's Seeking a Friend for the End of the World takes all that worldwide drama to a much smaller level – to the drama between two people at the end of the world. Starring Steve Carell and Keira Knightley, the film focuses on the pair of Dodge and Penny as they try to navigate their way through a world that's run out of time. It's sweet and funny and more than a little sad, and it's the perfect new entry into its genre. To celebrate the opening of the film, we're giving away two very fun prize packs from the film, both crammed with stuff you might need during Armageddon (lip balm, of course!) and stuff you just might want (glow sticks, obviously). To get you prepped for the end of the world, we're giving away two (2) different prize packs from Seeking a Friend for the End of the World to two (that is 2) lucky winners. The grand prize pack includes: a $50 Fandango gift card, the film's official soundtrack on CD, a t-shirt, a tote bag, lip balm, a shot glass, a glow stick and bracelet, and a key chain. The additional prize pack includes: the film's official soundtrack on CD, a t-shirt, a tote bag, lip balm, a shot glass, […]
Crooked Cops on the Big Screen: Win a 'Seeking Justice' Inspired Blu-ray Prize Pack
Free Stuff By Kate Erbland on June 12, 2012 | Comments (33)This contest is now closed. Thank you for entering! Is there anything better than Nicolas Cage playing an unhinged dude who will stop at nothing to achieve personal justice? In Roger Donaldson's Seeking Justice, Cage does just that after his wife (January Jones) is brutally attacked and he's offered support by Guy Pearce, a mysterious stranger with his own aims and secrets. As you can likely expect, they're not selfless aims and they're not fluffy secrets. With Seeking Justice hitting DVD and Blu-ray next week, we're excited to offer a very special Blu-ray prize pack filled with films that all tap right into the themes of the Cage-starrer. Dirty cops. Dirty deeds. All on your own television. This prize pack includes Blu-rays of The Son of No One, Brooklyn's Finest, Texas Killing Fields, Righteous Kill, and Seeking Justice. That's quite a bit of crooked law enforcement to deal with all at once. To win the prize pack, all you have to do is jump down into the comments section and let us know what your favorite film is that centers on dirty cops and crooked deeds (no worries, it doesn't have to be one in this prize pack). Please also provide your email address in your comment so we can contact you if you win. This contest is only open to U.S. residents. The contest will close Wednesday, June 20th at 10AM EST/1PM PST. The winner will be chosen at random to receive one (1) Blu-ray prize pack as described […]
Want to Be Ready for Stephenie Meyer's Next Blockbuster? Win a Copy of 'The Host' Novel
Free Stuff By Kate Erbland on May 21, 2012 | Comments (61)This contest is now closed. All winners will be emailed. Thank you for participating! For fans of Stephenie Meyer's "The Twilight Saga" and its cinematic counterparts, saying goodbye to the series when the final film, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 this fall will be tough stuff. Fortunately, Meyer already has a brand new film based on one of her books ready to go, and it's one that will appeal to both fans of Twilight and those who have never gotten the teen vampire love story craze. Meyer's "The Host" is a more adult book that explores similar themes to those addressed in "The Twilight Saga," but with a much more mature spin. Also, there are aliens (a lot of aliens). And a well-sketched post-apocalyptic Earth for them to populate. The film is officially described as "an enchanting and fateful story about the survival of love and the human spirit in a time of war. Our world is invaded by an unseen enemy, humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over, while their bodies remain intact. Most of humanity has succumbed." The film will star Saoirse Ronan, Diane Kruger, Max Irons, Frances Fisher, William Hurt, Jake Abel, and many more. The Host has been written by Meyer, along with director Andrew Niccol (who knows a thing about dystopian futures, having written and directed Gattaca and In Time and written The Truman Show). To get you ready for The Host the movie, we're giving away five (5) copies of "The […]

I don't use under eye concealer so I can't speak for it's efficacy in that area. I have seb derm around my nose and that is where I use concealer. I use concealer every day to cover the redness in that area. At first I was disappointed with this because it seemed to accentuate the flakes around my nose (a symptom of seb derm). I felt like I had wasted my money. However, after a period of time using a creamier concealer I came back to this as I just wanted to use it up. It was then that I realized how much I loved this concealer. It's lasting power is incomparable and yet it feels like nothing on the skin. It blends easily and imperceptibly into the skin. The formula is a dream, you can even sheer it out to use over broader areas like a foundation. You only need the tiniest amount and I think that it actually works out that you spend less on this concealer than you realize. Also, even when I thought that I didn't like this concealer I always admired how great the packaging was--it's solid, portable, and just so easy to use. I am off to buy a second tube in ocher for the summer months although I still have at least half of my beige left--- after a year of consistent use! If you have tons of flaky skin then I don't recommend this concealer but if it's just for discoloration then I cannot recommend this highly enough.

CRAZY expensive but worth it! I've had mine for over a year, using it very often, and I still have a ton left. I hesitated for a long time before buying this because of the price, but I have really bad under eye circles and decided to give it a try after hearing so much about it, and I did not regret buying it. Great coverage, smooth texture, super blendable and doesn't dry out my eye area, which is already dehydrated enough as it is. Will definitely repurchase this.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was so lucky this holiday season, a client who works for CDP, gave me this for free! I have used this for years, and it the only concealer I will ever buy. It totally covers my dark circles, without any dryness. I just warm up the product on my finger, and gently pat away. Beige is the pefect mach for my light to medium skin tone.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I LOVE this product. I use it under the eyes sheerly (applied using a Becca 55 brush) and it brightens them/makes dark circles disappear. I use it as a concealer, using a concealer brush, on spots and old scars. I use it to even out skin tone by mixing a little with some moisturiser and applying with a foundation brush. It just looks like skin in all the above cases. And stays put without any need to powder/set. What more do you need?! Wonderful. I also have one in Ivory that I use as more of a highlighter. This stuff is the bomb and worth every penny. I've rebought several times and each one lasts me years.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I only tried a sample and it was enough for months, so if you like this product buy it, I bet it will last forever!
I'm not convinced. I tried Beige but the color looked a bit off. If you take your time and blend, blend, blend in it looks nice, and covers very well, but still...Not convinced. It can be drying so moisturize FIRST - I think this is the KEY.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
After purchasing & using this product (beige shade) I have a mixed review. I like the color match which works on me whether it's fall/winter when I'm paler or in the spring/summer when I'm more tan. I'm able to blend it easily, especially after using a dab of eye cream before the concealer. I've concluded success with this product may depend on the cause of each individual person's under eye circles, in my case it's due to thinning skin below my eyes. Lighting seems to be a big factor in how good it conceals for me, in natural light it looks great, but in the light at my vanity I can't tell as much improvement. It has good staying power & blends smoothly without accumulating in small lines like some concealers. I will continue using it until I find something that works better.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was freelancing at a women's magazine around the corner from Saks reading countless tributes to this concealer, so I decided to go and try it out at lunch one day. The woman at the makeup counter applied the concealer under my eyes and I just couldn't believe how different it made me look (and it lasted all afternoon and evening). I swore I would not go and spend so much money on it though, I mean how good do I really need to look anyway? Well after using up my free sample, I caved. $70 plus tax was a large chunk of change but I'm glad I did it. And will buy it again.
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This legendary concealer is almost too good to be true. It is very pigmented, yet it is SO lightweight, and never cakes no matter how much I put on. It makes all dark circles disappear, without looking like makeup at all. I am NC20-25 and wear Beige which is perfect. I initially thought about going for Ivory but I think it will give the reverse raccoon effect.
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I had seen so many recommendations in magazines etc. for this. The $70 price tag kept puttinng me off. Finally after spending too much in concealers that didn't work well. I splurged and am glad I did. This is a greeat concealer. You only need a tiny bit to do the job, it is very pigmented and smooth. The beige seems to work for me, whether I am fairer or tanned. I have light to medium skin.
