But that's only one of several surprises in Evans Data recent survey of over 450 software developers. The results did nothing to contradict the idea that venerable Microsoft appeals to an older generation of developers, but there's more to it than that.
A whopping 90% of developers aged 46-to-50 picked Microsoft as the most relevant to their development plans, but the software giant was also cited by over two-thirds of those surveyed, across all age groups.
Coming in second was Google which also beat out 19 other companies for "Most Likely to Dominate in three years." Evans Data said Google's cachet was most evident among young developers with 72% of those aged 25 and under picking the search leader followed by Microsoft.
So where's Apple is all this?
Evans Data analyst Ben Hanley said Apple was number five behind IBM "in the top ten" of relevance among the developers it surveyed, but didn't give a lot of other detail related to its proprietary report which it sells.
"In the early iPhone domination days we saw a sort of different dynamic, but I think that time period has past. Apple didn't rate highly across data sets in our survey, whether it was mobile, mobile and cloud or across all segments," said Hanley. He did say Apple's strongest support came from developers 25 or under and in the oldest group surveyed, those over 60.
Longtime Silicon Valley watcher and analyst Tim Bajarin says that if this is what the research shows, he respects the work Evans Data has done but questions the conclusions.
"When we talk to the Apple developers in general, while they feel have to support Android because of the huge number of devices out there, they know they won't make any money from it. With Apple, they know they'll get compensated," Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies, told TabTimes.
"I'm not surprised Microsoft is big with an older generation of developers, but what does that tell you? They're sticking with a platform they're comfortable with and hoping Microsoft hits it big. I'd be surprised if any of these developers who say they're big on Microsoft or Android are not also supporting Apple. They have to be if they want to make any money."
Apple pays developers billions of dollars
It's worth noting that Apple has publicized the amount of money it pays developers via its App Store the past few years; a practice Microsoft and Google has yet to follow.
Back in June of 2010 Apple said it paid over $1 billion to developers (after two years of App Store sales, covering over five billion app downloads). Just this week, Apple CEO Tim Cook said Apple has now paid out $8 billion to developers, up $1 billion from the $7 billion payout figure Apple reported in late January.
Evans Data sees developer interests as a leading indicator of what to expect in terms of new apps and innovation. While the iPad continues to dominate the tablet market (though it's market share lead has slipped to just under 50% according to one research firm) Hanley says the survey shows a lot of developer interest in Android and Windows 8, including Windows RT.
"Based on the survey results related to intent to develop, we expect Windows to overtake iOS in terms of the rate at which developers are targeting specific platforms over the next 9-to-18 months," said Hanley. He also says BlackBerry is getting a lot of interest from developers keen to work with the new BlackBerry 10 OS.
Hanley concedes Android developers face the challenge of device fragmentation where there are hundred of different Android devices and multiple versions of the operating system in use. All of which makes it difficult if not impossible to write an app once and have it run across a wide range of Android devices.
But he also notes Apple poses its own developer challenges.
"There's a significant barrier to getting apps qualified in the Apple App Store, while more developers are realizing they can get into Android's store without having to go through fiery hoops and the process is much quicker, with better revenue potential," said Hanley.
Apple also might be losing a bit of its hipness factor. "When it comes to Apple, I perceive there's a feeling among younger developers, that the iPhone is what my Mom and Dad have," said Hanley.
"The younger demographic is more hyper-individual and wants something more customizable in the interface. Android in general and Windows in particular meets that need that developers are responding to. The older generation, speaking broadly, wants a device that turns on and it works, which is Apple." They're less interested in customization, Hanley added.

As a standalone film it is glossy, slick and nicely acted without being too much. It might have had to be longer to get all the relevant detail in, but it's still well worth a watch

The best HL1 sp-mod along with Timeline 2 & 3.
The author's name is Koumei Satou – he's Japanese and made Peaces Like Us (HL) and Mistake of Pythagoras (HL2 – the best single-player HL2 mod).
when I try to get a game running it says Invalid DLL Version!!!
A must play with (as usual) with cool scenes.
5/5Like the HL story? this is your mod.
just getting in to the mod but did have some loading troubles. I had to start it in software and not open gl, then after loading in both patches it cleared up. I also have the hd pack in I believe hf v 1.1.1. or someting and went back to open gl and it took the better graphics. I dont know why before it would only show the first part then go to a black screen but you could move gorden. I emailed the developer and pointed out the tidbits. so far is it really good.
Rating: 5/5
Good: Great length; lots of new content; scripted scenes are movie-like.
Bad: Old textures.Review:
I first heard about Sweet Half-Life from an email, and I have to admit, I thought it was a kinda cheesy name. It doesn't give any clues as to what the plot is of the mod, nor does it sound mysterious or anything, or instill a sense of awe in the player. But I decided to give it a go (after waiting in line forever at Fileplanet), and I am very glad I did. This is easily one of the best mods based off of the stock Half-Life textures and content by far.Quick overview: You are a Black Mesa employee who also happens to be named Gordon, though Freeman is not your surname, and you do not posses a degree in Theoretical Physics from M.I.T. Instead, you are a mid-level manager appointed to a storage section of Black Mesa. Sweet Half-Life takes place over the same time period as Half-Life 1, in case you were wondering.
Okay, where to begin? I'll start with the content. There are new models in the form of friends and enemies, from this world and the next. You finally have some scientist buddies in HEV suits to help you in Xen against the Gargs! There are new weapons for you to use, and they look great. The arms look great, nothing out of proportion, animations are fine, and the new weapons use their own ammo (except for MP5 grenades – they are shared).
Next, we have the sheer size and length of Sweet Half-Life. It is nearly a third as long as Half-Life 1, and all of the maps are LARGE. You won't see the 'loading" screen very much, its great. All of the levels are well laid out, the architecture is impressive, and textures line up accordingly and accurately. Moving on, are the scripted scenes. Wow. These are very, very good. Valve themselves would have a tough time doing better.
I hate to make the review short, but I can't devote a whole paragraph to something that doesn't exist. If you want me to really find something that I didn't like, it would be that there weren't many new textures. There were some, but not as many compared to Poke646 or They Hunger. That's about it.
Compatibility: Sweet Half-Life was built for the non-Steam version of Half-Life, meaning most of its content is contained in a .pak file. So if you have the non-Steam version of Half-Life, then you should be fine. However, I'm not one to play on outdated technology! So I did a little experiment. Using GCFScape, I was able to unpack everything from the .pak file into their correct folders in the \half-life\ folder in my Steam directory, and everything played fine. So, those with Steam are still able to play Sweet Half-Life!
Summing up, this mod rocks, and I whole-heartedly recommend it to everyone.
goodness goddess alyria. just a few posts up or being a goddess look down. hehe. I had the same problem. load the patches from the authers site. it will work, I can give ya a hint ole mighty one. it is a great hard mod. I am stopped on the what I believe to be the final battle. it says I cant win, but I refuse to surrender. hehe. post if you have any more problems and me just a mear mortal will attempt to help thee.
p.s. after loading in the patches use open gl.
i would think a goddess would be able to read any language. but then the simple minds of we mear mortals. I am stuck downloading the newest patch for the offical army game but will do what I can to see if I can give a a good link. stay tuned it might not take that long. I think I have it in my favorites.
and in another note, do you like anami? the author has put some in the mod. very neat. also this guy also made the half life 2 mod mistake of phythagorious, a outstanding mod. will update ya… -
ole mighty goddess alyria. I fear your powers are not that strong if thou cant read the japenese. but, fear not for I have the links. links in english, my fair lady. hehe.
look at the download part and get all the patchs. my copy a sierra haflife .1.1ect..has worked fine with hd pack on all the mods I have played. I gave up on steam hl1 a wile ago
note to phillip, maybe include the link above to this posting site. for phillip is the one true god. I bash aliens and make meny a sacrifice in his name. good luck let me know what happens.
ps. I might not be able to ge to you till saterday night if this doesnt help. -
alyria, I went to planet half life to get you the link to the upgrade for hl 1 to the final version which is what steam uses.
they changed their file layout I couldnt find it quick. but I suggest trying that.
good luck… -
we mortals rejoyce as goddess alyria now begins to save us in the world of sweet half life.
sorry to hear about all the trouble you had. great mod. -
Ok, since you all seem to be such experts on this mod, perhaps you can help me with a rather nasty problem I have with it.
I install the game into my Steam version of Half-Life, load it up and start playing. All initially seems fine, however when I try to shoot any living creature with the pistol (I've experienced this with the headcrab and the "zapper" alien), the game crashes on me. I can fire the pistol as per normal, but if I hit a creature, then I get dumped back to the desktop.
I've tried using every patch from the website, but to no avail. I'm even using the original models, but the problem still occurs. Any ideas?
Where or what do I do after turning on the reactor and killing the 2 gren monsters?If you jump in you just float around
All set figured it out thanks
What do I do at the part with the spinning pipe?
Find a went in the roof somewhere
i run this game, but first level don`t run, it is black screen, please help!
I have Half-Life 1 and I installed High-Def Pack. Black Screen is in first mission, after intro…
oh, one thing
I see intro with men who are making for machine
THANKS IT` WORK I finished this mod and I think is really good!
This mod is HUGELY flawed, I was at it for a couple of hours and ran into at least four sequences of play where if things don't happen in a certain, obscure order, you can't progress through the game.
I'll describe one example. At one point a marine is fleeing an alien. Both are coming toward you. You, of course, shoot the marine before he can kill you. The problem is, if you do that, the alien then doesn't perform an unlikely action that allows you to proceed through the mod. There's no reason for you to think the marine has to live (only to be killed by the alien) for the mod to continue. So you wind up running around for 15 minutes trying to figure out how to get to the next section.As I noted, this happens way too often. Also, the AI is poor by HL standards. Several times enemies stand around waiting to be shot; even the sniper babes will wait to be taken down.
I appreciate the effort the designers put into this–they obviously worked hard. It's too bad (as with so many mods) they didn't do just a little more testing and tweaking.
Great effect, Great bug
This is so cool and in this mod you have scientist with HEV on them and they can carry a weapon the best part is that they can't be killed so easy
Without any doubt one of the ten best SP-Mods for any shooter I ever played.
Some tricky parts,brains needed now and then. The mod must be played twice
to play it all. It starts easy but it gets hard later. -
ok mod, somwhat fun with some cool and funny parts in there but overall pretty boring.
Definitely worth playing for the story and "different-ness" of it. I found it very puzzling and frustrating at times… and I'm actually still playing it.. Right now I'm stuck in the part with the tall pedestal and the ship that flies around blasting you with blue/red scanning lights. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually. The hints page is nice, but it would be cool to have a walkthrough, not all things are covered by the hints. e.g. the hints say to get the "long jump" thing, but what is it, how is it used, etc? If anyone has any hints for that red/blue blasting ship, I'm all ears.
OK, it wasn't that hard… just shoot for the two engines… after this point, the game is essentially over… some really cool scripted sequences follow. Apparently there's an alternate ending… in the hints page here: http://www2d.biglobe.ne.jp/~ks_wca/shlhtm/shl_fm_e.htm I didn't see several of those, so I must have taken route B. Guess I'll have to go back and figure out what route A was.
Overall, a very good mod, worth playing for sure. I can't believe it's now 2008 and there are still good mods out there for HL1 that I haven't played yet.
I take it you know the trick of reverting to an earlier savegame and thereby re-enter the level and hope to trigger the scientist that way? Other than that, can't think of anything…
Great effect, Great bug
I can't go ahead on map SHL09…after explosion helicopter…no exit…anybody can help?? thanks
sorry…is about the second explosion (helicopter falling down)…on the hall of torture..barney is killed for marines
after kill all…im back and no exit…thanks -
ok..thank you Andyb….but there any bug on this map?? and if the hev guy dont come?? thanks.
I got a problem with this mod. I get stuck right at the beginning, right after the "g-man machine" scene, there is a bunch of letters coming out of a wall, and then nothing, just a black screen….
You can load the next map manually by typing "map shl1″ in the console.
how could this get a gold rating on tenfourmaps.
boring and ugly. avoid liek the plauge.
how do you find the power station in the place you meet the seconed gargantuin thing
what, this is one of the greatest hl mods out there.
Check this out, now thats some amazing stuff: -
I first played Sweet Half-Life soon after it first came out, coming up on a full year ago. I remember loving it. But what I forgot is how awesome the experience really was – it required my playing it all over again to remind me how fun SHL really is. I can only hope you can forgive me and Ten Four for taking so long to post a review.
SHL comes to us from a small team, led by Marc Ellis and Koumei Satou, who is known for previous mapping efforts including the well-received Peaces Like Us for Half-Life. And KS's style shows through in this pack – though not as blatantly weird as Pieces, SHL has some touches of offbeat design that keep it interesting.
Just about everything is simply sharp in Sweet Half-Life. The level design, the puzzles, and the game flow are all first-rate. SHL has a couple of new enemies (including a pretty tough heavy grunt), new weapons in addition to the original HL weapons, and even friendly scientists in HEV suits that can kick some serious ass with the rocket launcher or the tau cannon.

By Lee Barken, IT practice leader at Haskell & White, LLP
It's a balmy 67 degrees in San Diego and I'm back home at my local coffee shop, sipping Chai Tea Latte. A short 24 hours ago, I was in the snow and bitter cold of Copenhagen, Denmark, attending the 15th meeting of the Conference of Parties (COP15) climate summit.
For two brief weeks, people from around the world had been gathered to discuss how carbon emissions are affecting our environment. Despite a failure to sign a major agreement, the victory of the conference has been its ability to focus world attention on climate change issues. COP-15 has captured the public's interest, raised awareness and energized ordinary citizens into action.
Acknowledging the gravity of climate change is a difficult task to consider as I sip a tasty beverage in the comfort of my shorts and t-shirt. Perhaps the single largest challenge for reducing carbon emissions is to convey a sense of urgency to those who are the least affected. Has our own comfortable condition lulled us into a sense of complacency?
What, Me Worry?
As Americans, we have enjoyed a cultural bias towards short term gratification. This attitude is demonstrated by our invention of the credit card and its widespread use. It can also be found in our cultural icons, such as the famous Popeye comic strip character Wimpy, who proclaimed "I would gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."
Americans have also demonstrated that they are among the most generous in the world to respond to international relief efforts following natural disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes and floods. Unfortunately, we wait until after the disaster occurs to spring into action.
Climate Refugees?
At the COP-15 climate summit this week in Copenhagen, I took particular note of a group of seven countries that made desperate pleas to save their tiny island nations. Most countries at these international treaty negotiations have established 2 degrees as the maximum allowable increase in global temperature that the planet can sustain, before catastrophic effects are felt. However, countries such as Tuvalu and Maldives are now insisting that any increases greater then 1.5 degrees would mean the complete destruction of their countries and require entire populations to relocate to higher ground.
The speeches from these countries were passionate and thought provoking. Can you imagine being sent to Copenhagen as your country's representative with the task of saving your homeland? A few years ago we sent my hometown San Diego Chargers to the playoffs. When they failed their task and came home empty handed, we still gave them a parade downtown. I hope the other countries are as generous to their delegations.
"The entire population of Tuvalu lives below two meters above sea level," said Ian Fry, a delegate from Tuvalu. In a plenary session in front of hundreds of dignitaries, he ended his presentation by saying "I woke this morning, and I was crying, and that's not easy for a grown man to admit. The fate of my country rests in your hands." You can watch the entire presentation here.
I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing…
If you've ever seen the famous 1971 TV commercial, you might think that the solution to world happiness is just giving everybody a Coke and teaching them to sing together. The problem with this approach, of course, is the consequences of proliferating emissions associated with carbon intensive lifestyles.
If the United States represents 5% of the world population, but is responsible for 25% of its emissions, what happens when every person in China or India decides that they'd like to live the good life, too? What happens to the environment when everybody in the world wants to drive a Hummer, live in a McMansion and enjoy a standard of living like the one experienced in the US?
It's not that developing countries want a Starbucks on every corner. Many just want running water and electricity that actually works 24 hours a day. One tool, putting a price on carbon through cap and trade, creates incentives for companies to reduce emissions. This stimulates innovation, creates a marketplace around low carbon solutions and provides a pathway for developing countries to grow in a way that minimizes environmental harm.
In other words, the goal is to "de-couple" economic development and environmental damage. Leveraging the innovation from industrial countries would allow developing nations to enjoy modern conveniences and build out their energy, transportation and construction sectors in a cleaner way than developed countries have historically achieved.
Home Sweet Home
Having returned home to San Diego, it's easy to sink back into the daily routines of going to work, running errands and living life. San Diego may not be currently feeling the affects of climate change, however, the indulgence of inaction is no longer affordable. If there's anything I've learned from my experience at COP15, it's that the world is interconnected on many levels and our actions (or inactions) can have global consequences.
Interacting with delegates from nearly 200 countries from around the world has highlighted the importance of recognizing common goals. However, achieving these goals will require a delicate balance of policy and fiscal responsibility in the months and years ahead. The challenges are great, but we're a great nation. With sensible, business-focused objectives, we can protect the planet and the pocketbook.

The overall purpose of 'Rochford Life' is to bring the people and organisations of the community to the community.
Schools are an integral and vital part of the community, and so it is our desire, as a voluntary community Internet magazine, to serve the schools at no cost to them by supplementing their own web sites by pages of the magazine dedicated to each individual school on which we would hope to include the following:
· Basic information about the school – name address, head teacher, telephone number, web-
site link to the school,
· Interviews with each head teacher and subsequently at regular intervals at their discretion, either with the head teachers and/or staff and/or governors on topics of their choice, preferably revealing the people, which they would possibly not feel comfortable sharing on their own sites,
· Specific information the school might wish to be put up on a front page 'Notice Board' in the magazine, at 24 hours notice, of forthcoming events,
· Reporting of any special events the school might wish us to include on their pages in the magazine,
· Any other articles, information etc. the school may wish us to convey.
In each case the head teacher might wish to deal directly with the magazine or appoint a member of staff who is the first point of contact with the magazine's editor, Tony Thomas.
Generally information will be added to the magazine on a daily basis.

Album review
Cowboy Junkies - One Soul Now
Perhaps the Cowboy Junkies will never top the quiet glory of '88's The Trinity Sessions, the transcendent eeriness of which not only redefined new country but pioneered modern lo-fi. Yet every album since has had moments of menacingly forlorn Velvet Underground-meets-Hank Williams beauty. On One Soul Now they come principally from the title track, the haunting "From Hunting Ground To City" (with a Margo Timmins vocal so laid back it borders on inertia), the more upbeat "No Long Journey Home" and the lovely melancholia of "The Slide". "This ain't no depression, just notes falling slow," Timmins moans elsewhere. It's a fine distinction. Look out for the limited edition featuring a bonus cover-versions EP

Went Saturday for appointment, but they were running way behind so I rescheduled. Doctor wants to see what's going on with my right shoulder, and hope to prevent it from getting as bad as my left. Seated MRI, and only took 45 minutes. Not that bad. Fingers crossed. Left shoulder is the worst, and I'm getting a hyaluronic acid shot in it this coming Monday. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I never heard of that shot before. Is it arthritis that it is getting your shoulders? Hope the right shoulder isn't as bad. |
Left shoulder has two tears in the rotato cuff plus arthritis. Had a steroid shot first time. The hyaluronic acid is a natural lubricant you body produces, but they give it in the joints when necessary. I had been taking the capsules, but doctor told me they don't do that much good, as they tend just to go thru your body. So she suggested the shot. |

Good luck with the results on the second MRI. |
- Posted by marie-ndcal (My Page) on Thu, May 9, 13 at 18:21
Nephew of our had that--surgery was the only way to help according to his Dr. Took 3 months off work, playing golf now. Usually the only solution is surgery, sorry to say. Neighbor just went thru this also. |
Have appointment with surgeon in June. WIll see! |
Did anyone else see the expose about steroidal shots in the spine and joints? They aren't and never have been FDA approved for that purpose. Some manufacturers have even changed their labeling, trying to make it clear to physicians that their drugs should not be injected into the spine, knee, hips, shoulder, or other joints. |
My sister and my father in law both had torn rotator cuffs that had to be repaired surgically. My FIL's was really bad, he let it go for a long time, then got hit by a drunk driver, that really jarred it. The rotator cuff was torn and the muscle was actually starting to pull away from the bone. A big mess. I'm glad you're getting this taken care of, don't let it get any worse. Lots of good luck! |
Edited to remove double post. |

hmmmm, rhizo, why the delete? |
Because somehow my earlier post about steroid shots was repeated. |

This year was my first SFG. It was really slow taking off, but it finally started looking good. Almost everything has (or is) producing well. One huge problem: I have mildew (and now some other uglies that come along) on my melons, cucumbers, and all my squash and zucchini. I've treated it with some of the remedies seen online but probably not often enough. It's everywhere, but at this point the plants are still surviving and production is less. My main question is, even if it wipes out everything and I tear everything out, isn't the soil going to be contaminated everywhere with mildew spores? Help!!! Just when everything was going so good! |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by ribbit32004 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 29, 09 at 20:34
No, the soil won't be contaminated. Powdery mildew (if this is what it is) is not soil borne. You just need to make sure that you get all of the leaves, blossoms and as much of the infected plant as you can out of the ground. It can overwinter in the left over shoots, but not the soil. |

There are alot of choices for this one, however I think the experience my family and I had in March was the topper.. please allow me to explain--
(This may be long as a bit of backstory helps to explain the feelings that later occur so please hang with me.)
My wife and I met in HS, and we ended up being young parents, and have really struggled at times to make things workout, sometimes questioning how in the heck we're doing as well as we're doing, and how blessed we've been when we should have been anything but. So being able to say that while we're both still in college, working full time, and raising our son, to plan our first trip to WDW as a family was surreal in itself. What made the "moment" complete was how the first night of our trip played out.
We had driven from Lexington to Atlanta, to Orlando in 2 days, and thought our first night was going to get totally rained out. We got to Pop, and it seemed that every cast member bent over backwards when they saw the "first visit" pins on my wife and son. (I knew what to expect from Disney service, they had no idea..) and after waiting on the rain, we thought what the heck, lets try to make Spectromagic and Wishes at MK and headed over.. Didnt expect to catch the first show of Spectromagic, however how it worked out, I couldnt have paid Disney to set it up any better...
We got to Magic Kingdom, bags checked, etc, and stopped to oogle the train station and as we went under it and came out, the music for Spectromagic hit, a CM saw me pushing my wife in her wheelchair (and her and my son's look of pure dumbstruck awe), offered us a curbside seat, right up front for the parade with the castle in the background. All of us were literally floored and to be able to stand back and see the looks on the faces of my wife and son that night, has to be hands down the best Disney moment I've ever experienced and it really set the tone for the week.. It was the combination of the "Welcome to Disney" moment and the feeling of accomplishment after everything we've had to go through over the last few years.
Sorry if this was too long for some people.. Just had to get it out there

Ingersoll experienced war firsthand — he served in the Union army during the Civil War. As a veteran, he knew and appreciated the sacrifice his brothers in arms made for their country.
Today, Memorial Day, has become the unofficial mile post marking the start of summer across much of America; it also, for many retailers, is an excuse for an easily marketable sale. But the sentiments of American writer Thomas Dunn English provide a better summation of the meaning of the day: "But the freedom that they fought for, and the country grand they wrought for, is their monument today."
In 2000, Congress passed the National Moment of Remembrance Act, asking all Americans to pause for at least a moment at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day to honor those who have fallen. According to the White House Commission on Remembrance, the idea for the moment was hatched when children touring Washington, D.C., were asked what Memorial Day means. They responded, "That's the day the pool opens."
At 3 p.m. today, we hope you take time from enjoying your freedom to honor those who have died to protect it.

5 Things I Incorrectly Learned From the Movies About Having a Baby
Features By Christopher Campbell on September 1, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThe other day, a pregnant friend said she was scared of giving birth after watching Friends With Kids. In that movie, Jennifer Westfeldt's character is in a lot of pain during labor, despite having an epidural (drugs). Being an expert, I guess, having just experienced the birth of my second kid, I told her to relax. Sure, some women still feel some pressure during delivery, but for the most part it's all numb down there. That is the point of paying thousands of dollars to get it. I only recently saw Friends With Kids for the first time myself, and I was surprised that such a stereotypical birth scene was made this decade. Especially for how otherwise aware it was. Adam Scott's character at least addresses the epidural by name, but for the most part the scene is wrong, including the stuff involving episiotomy (I'll let you look that one up). Westfeldt, who also wrote and directed, has never had children, but that shouldn't have mattered. A lot of people who know better than to trust how movies depict things, like labor and delivery, can't help but "learn" from them anyway. I'm one of them. Growing up on movies, I've tended to get at least a first impression of a lot of stuff from how it's written for and shown on screen. Even if I'm skeptical, much of the time I don't know any better. Having a baby isn't something we experience firsthand everyday. So, when I did actually experience it, I was surprised […]
Exploring Apatow and Rogen's Shlubby Non-Misogyny
Features By Sean Hackett on June 4, 2014 | Be the First To Comment"How many men, raised on a steady diet of Judd Apatow comedies in which the shlubby arrested adolescent always gets the girl, find that those happy endings constantly elude them and conclude, 'It's not fair'?" — Ann Hornaday "You know what? I respect women! I love women! I respect them so much that I completely stay away from them!" — Andy Stitzer, The 40-Year-Old Virgin 2005 wasn't a terrible year to have a comedy in theaters. Wedding Crashers, Hitch and The 40-Year-Old Virgin all finished the year with record numbers, regardless of genre. Of the three, Virgin was the most shocking surprise. For Universal Studios. For Hollywood. At the time, Steve Carell (The Office had only been out for half a year to underwhelming ratings), Catherine Keener and the rest of the cast were seen as character actors and indie drama mainstays, not movie star leads. At the center of the low-budget film was Judd Apatow. A co-creator and producer of Freaks and Geeks, Apatow's personal voice and vision in the world of cinema was not just unique, but refreshing to audiences and talent alike. Unlike Hitch or Wedding Crashers, Virgin didn't attempt to hand in the classic story of Misogynistic Handsome Man Turns Reformed Gentleman. Instead it spun the comedic formula that studios had profited on since Some Like It Hot. Apatow focused on a man who was anything but misogynistic. A spinster who felt more at home with his still-in-the-box toy collection, Carrel's Andy Stitzer was pure in a world where […]
A Brief (Almost Silent) History of Abortion in the Movies
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on July 9, 2013 | Comments (18)"The subject of abortion shall be discouraged, shall never be more than suggested, and when referred to shall be condemned. It must never be treated lightly, or made the subject of comedy. Abortion shall never be shown explicitly or by inference, and a story must not indicate that an abortion has been performed, the word "abortion" shall not be used." No, that's not an excerpt from Texas State Senate Bill 1. That's a December 1956 amendment to the Motion Picture Production Code (MPPC), the Hollywood studio system's internal playbook for strictly regulating content until 1966. The amendment was a clarification of, and addition to, a prior amendment from March 1951 which was a bit more direct and concise in its stance about representing abortion in the movies: "Abortion, sex hygiene and venereal diseases are not proper subjects for theatrical motion pictures." I find this older quote more interesting, for it not only tells us about what moral gatekeepers thought of the subject of abortion, but also betrays the MPPC's perspective of the limited utility of movies as a whole: as both a means for light escapism and affirmative moral pedagogy, but not a forum for discussing serious (or, rather actual) issues and situations. The history of abortion in American movies is, not surprisingly, largely a history of absence. But what is perhaps a bit surprising is how little American movies have referenced abortion since the quoted amendments descended into obsolescence. This despite the fact that the ratings system, New Hollywood, and […]
'This Is 40' Trailer Is the Judd Apatow-iest Of All Judd Apatow Trailers
Movie News By Nathan Adams on August 7, 2012 | Comments (1)The only way you can describe the new trailer for This Is 40 is to say that it looks, unmistakably, like a Judd Apatow film. Not only are his wife and kids front and center, but so are a ton of other actors that he's known for collaborating with, they're all engaging in that stoner-shenanigans-that-still-tug-on-the-heartstrings humor that Apatow perfected if not invented, and it's all set to a George Harrison song that feels like it was written precisely so it could accompany the sentimental hard sell of a trailer for a Judd Apatow movie.
Trailer for 'This Is 40′: Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd Will Try to Do Better
Movie News By Kate Erbland on April 27, 2012 | Be the First To CommentHere comes This Is 40, Judd Apatow's self-confessed "sort-of sequel" to Knocked Up, and while it looks like Paul Rudd's Pete and Leslie Mann's Debbie have sufficiently ironed out their relationship issues, pretty much everything else seems to be falling apart around them. Mortified by their imminent aging (Debbie, in particular, refuses to accept that she's now turning the big 4-0), the pair embark on a new way of life, thanks to Debbie's "do better" list. As the film's first trailer shows us, they have plenty to do when it comes to doing better. They'll work out! They'll stand up to bullies! They will make their kids spend more time outside! They'll probably totally muck up everything! While the trailer's use of fun.'s "We Are Young" is both too spot-on and too grating, this first look at This Is 40 shows that the film should be packed with that Apatowian mix of heart, humor, and honesty that mark his finest films. Also of note, we should all be so lucky to look like Mann in our fourth decade.
12 Awesome Celebrities Playing Themselves In Movies
Cinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on April 19, 2012 | Comments (8)If Jesus or Tupac ever finally return like we've all been saying they will, they should probably do it in a Judd Apatow film or something like that. We love cameos, don't we? It's especially delightful when it's extremely unexpected, and of course extra points if they are playing themselves – or better yet some kind of silly version of themselves. It's all about recognizing the kind of person you are perceived to be, and then playing off that in a way that makes the audience realize that you are in on the joke. If a celebrity is able to do that, it's instant coolness.
Reel Sex: 5 Seriously Unsexy Movie Sex Scenes
Features By Gwen Reyes on November 16, 2011 | Comments (27)Today People Magazine unveiled their annual "Sexiest Man Alive" winner, crushing the hopes and dreams of thousands of starving beautiful men who thought, maybe just this once, they could have been a contender (better luck next year boys). While Bradley Cooper is a tasty, if not boring, morsel of man, as far as I know he has yet to perform in a movie sex scene. Making him completely of no interest to me in regards to this column. Please correct me if I'm wrong in the comments, as I will for sure need to brush up on my Bradley Cooper sexy-time if it does exist. But enough about my personal disappointment in People Magazine's cornering of the Sexiest Man Alive market, for today is also the day before the night before the opening of the fourth movie in the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn: Part I. Now this little tween fantasy is definitely of interest to me for more than its loose definition of what constitutes child pornography. I have (like almost all women in need of a good train wreck) annually paid good money to the Summit gods for the Twilight experience, and this Friday will be no different. Fans of the sparkly vampire series have (im)patiently waited through the first three films for two Breaking Dawn scenes, one completely contingent on the other. If the press tour mumblings of the film's stars are anything to believe, Twi-hards should already prepare themselves for some hot and heavy action during Bella […]
35 Things We Learned From the 'Knocked Up' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Jeremy Kirk on October 6, 2011 | Comments (2)It's time to crank up the Ol' Dirty Bastard, imbibe in your favorite – LEGAL – activity, and start the baby making. In this week's Commentary Commentary, we're hitting up one of the best comedies of the past 10 years, Knocked Up. Aside from being one of the dozen films that have made Judd Apatow a vigintillionaire, apart from being the film that landed Seth Rogen on the A-list, the movie is just damned funny. Heart-warming, of course. What would an Apatow movie be without heart? Well, it would probably be You Don't Mess With the Zohan, but we're not even going to mention that abomination here. Just ignore that previous utterance of the title. Anyway, back to Knocked Up, Apatow has amassed a solid line-up for his commentary track. Rogen and co-star Bill Hader are on board to deliver their own stories and insight into the making of the film. Something tells me the commenting under the influence didn't stop with last week's movie. That Rogen sure likes to partake. He's always stoned. And funny. Mostly funny. But one might have a hand in the other. So here's what we learned from the commentary track to Knocked Up. Cue the ODB!
Judd Apatow Might Cast Megan Fox For His 'Knocked Up' Spin-Off
Movie News By Scott Beggs on March 16, 2011 | Be the First To CommentAs we all already know, Judd Apatow is taking the characters created by Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann in Knocked Up and giving them their own story. Now, The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that negotiations are happening for Megan Fox to join the cast in some capacity. What exactly that capacity is, is still a production secret, but the typecasting options aren't really numerous. She could play a sexy temptress for Paul Rudd to get sexily tempted by, she could play a slutty babysitter for Paul Rudd to be tempted by, or she could play a rocket scientist teaching philosophy at the local college who acts as a stirring mentor figure who dispenses wisdom just at the right moment. In all honesty, and without sarcasm, the big question is whether Megan Fox can do character-based comedy. She made fun of herself in a Funny or Die video a while back, but that doesn't exactly translate to playing a role with some of the best comedic improvisers in the business. The apathetic smugness of her line delivery in every other flick she's in doesn't seem like it works for comedy. Unless she takes it over the top. That's it. She can play a ridiculously apathetic rocket scientist.
9 Douchebag Rom-Com Leads Who Didn't Deserve Diddly
Cinematic Listology By Matt Patches on February 10, 2011 | Comments (10)Adam Sandler lucked out. Instead of having to sell his soul to the Devil to become a top-grossing, leading man, he found a inexplicable role that Hollywood continues to perpetuate and sell to the masses: the smug, amoral love interest. Just in time for Valentine's Day, Sandler returns with Just Go with It, in which he pretends to be a married man as a way of roping in sympathetic woman. His best friend (Jennifer Aniston) strongly disagrees with his practices – think they'll fall in love? Of course they will, this isn't a Lars von Trier film. Forgiveness is pushed to its limits in American romantic comedies and Sandler isn't the only offender. Countless relationships have blossomed from a quick change of heart and a tagged-on apology, and the formula continues to work. When the nice guys finish last, these guys finish first:
Judd Apatow Gets 'Knocked Up' Again For Spin-Off
Movie News By Scott Beggs on January 7, 2011 | Comments (5)Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann have been on board with Judd Apatow for a new film for a while. Fortunately, it sounds like they'll both be starring, and they'll be tackling their Knocked Up characters again. According to Apatow, "people really responded to their characters and problems. I felt like there was a lot of ground I could explore with them." That's absolutely true. Great chemistry and great takes on what married life really means. This means that Apatow is definitely not done exploring his favorite theme, and that it's unclear whether this film will be heavier on comedy or on heartbreak. It also leaves the question open of whether Katherine Heigl will be back since her character was Mann's character's sister. And if Heigl's back, wouldn't Seth Rogen be back? And then wouldn't it be a sequel to Knocked Up essentially? [HitFix]

The Ten Hottest Baby Mamas in Movie History

Republic Wireless exited the beta stage a few weeks back and at that time they began offering a dual-band Motorola DEFY XT for pre-order. At that time they mentioned that the handset was expected to begin shipping in mid-December. And well, it looks like that time has officially arrived.
Simply put, Republic Wireless has begun shipping the handset. The price remains the same as we saw during the pre-order phase — at $249. Those making the purchase will also have to pay a $10 start-up fee and then begin paying $19 per month for service.
That $19 per month service fee includes unlimited talk, text and data. And for those wondering how that can be for only $19, Republic Wireless uses a their Hybrid Calling technology, which takes advantage of Wi-Fi when available and cellular when it's not available. Perhaps more important for the user though, in addition to the price, Republic Wireless notes that this means "no overages, contracts, or hidden charges in small fine print."
All said and done, you may not be getting the highest spec'd or newest device if you decide to use Republic Wireless and buy a DEFY XT, however you will likely be spending much less per month on cell service as compared to your friends and family.
Finally, just as a recap, the DEFY XT is sporting a 3.7-inch Corning Gorilla Glass display and is dust-proof and water-resistant. The handset also has a 1650 mAh battery, VGA quality front-facing camera, 5 megapixel rear-facing camera, 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 1GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot and is running Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

Can anyone recommend any heucheras with pure white flowers? I have a bed I call my 'white garden' and would love some white-flowered heucheras for there. If it had green and white variegated foliage, that would be perfect. A long--very long--time ago, I grew 'June Bride' but it didn't do well there. That was before the revolution in heucheras tho so I hope there have been some new white-flowered varieties. The more white flowers the better! |

IME, "white" flowers with heucheras is a bit of stretch - I'd be more inclined to call many of them cream or buff rather than pure white. Look for Rio Of these, Green Spice is my favorite - maybe my favorite heuchera hands down! Flowers are just on the off side of white, IMO. White Cloud may be whiter but not nearly as great a plant. |
This is a great list and I will check them all out. Thanks very much, gardengal48. |

Blue Light Camp: In the UK, Spotlight on social media after 2011 riots
Nearly a year ago, as I caught up on tweets following my talk at the Police Leadership Conference, a series of tweets caught my eye. They came from Sasha Taylor, Chair of the National Police Web Managers Group.
Sasha and I got into a good discussion about social media use in law enforcement, and although my work took me in a different direction last year, he stayed on my radar. Which was why I got back in touch with him a few weeks ago, when he tweeted about the upcoming Blue Light Camp: an "unconference" designed to discuss public safety best practices for social media.
The free, daylong event will take place on Sunday, April 15th from 9am to 5pm at Manchester Central exhibition centre—the day before British APCO's annual event. It will focus in particular on social media use in times of unrest, drawing from UK experiences in 2011. Cops 2.0 talked further about it with Camp organizer Paul Coxon:
How does BlueLightCamp fill a hole in crisis-related discussions that other gov-related or police-related conferences left open?
BlueLightCamp is unique in that it is the first truly multidisciplinary emergency services unconference in the UK. Most other conferences would either be for the police authorities or the fire services or front-line healthcare or social care providers, to our knowledge no one has yet created an event that brought them all together. Sasha recognised that a lot of the conversations being had within the police and healthcare arenas cut across all Blue Light Services and there was learning that could be of benefit to all.
The other big difference about Blue Light Camp is that, aside from the sectors involved, we are not dictating who should attend and already we have an exciting mix of communicators, front-line workers, people in senior and strategic roles and even research scientists who have signed up to attend.
What about the "unconference" format do you feel will best facilitate the discussions you envision taking place?
I used to have a boss who loved going to conferences because, in his own words, it was an easy day were he didn't have to do anything and could basically sleep. Unfortunately for a lot of people that is what conferences are about, but that's not what an unconference is about. Unconferences will not work without everyone playing their part and for this reason they attract the type of people who want to engage around the topics.
The type of people who want to engage are the type of people that are likely to share their learning and experiences, the type of people who will lead positive change in their organisation and the wider sector, and that is what Blue Light Camp is about, creating the conversations that lead to positive change.
In addition to this, unconferences often take place out of work hours, those attending do so in their own time and at their own cost, which contributes to making them more willing to participate, network, share best practice and take away new ideas to their organisations/local networks.
Crisis management and mapping will be presented. Any other sessions you know of that are (at least roughly) planned?
The beauty of an unconference is you won't really know the sessions that will be pitched until delegates begin pitching them, but we are hopeful to see examples of how 24-hour tweeting has worked for police service and council services, the ways in which Facebook and Twitter have been used to engage communities, metrics of SM channels, gamification are all topics discussed at other conferences.
People often discuss other areas of SM such as use of QR codes, Wikipedia, open data, blogging and general communications. We also have research fellows attending from the Disaster 2.0 project which is looking at use of social media during disasters and emergencies.
People come to unconferences to either share an idea or an experience so will lead a session for this reason; others will have barriers/questions that they would like discuss with others that have experienced the same issues or have the expertise to find a solution. Sharing at its best.
