Last month, Blogger sent an email to any blogs flagged as having "adult content," informing them that they had only four days to remove all adult advertisements on their blog or face deletion. My Twitter feed exploded with sex writers trying to figure out what exactly Blogger considered "adult" in both their content and advertising links—pictures of nipples? Stories of hardcore gang bangs? Links to sex ed sites like Scarleteen? Four days also wasn't enough time for many people to rework their blogs and the material therein — one person lamented that they'd be on a business trip until the day before the "pornpocalypse." As Violet Blue tweeted, "Google's @Blogger will delete scores of blogs that have existed since 1999 on Monday under its vague new anti-sex policy purge. It's wrong."
Censorship isn't a new concept for anyone who writes about sex on the Internet, but the Blogger email is just one more example of popular Internet-based companies and social media sites banning porn after years (or in Blogger's case, more than a decade) of tolerating it. Just a few months ago, Nerve wrote an article on how Tumblr porn might change sex journalism, but for every success, there's another story of a major social media platform or Internet retailer clamping down on a thriving community or popular authors. Amazon is famous for tinkering with the rankings of its "adult" ebooks,FanFiction.net threw out an estimated 62,000 stories last year, and Facebook's guidelines are notoriously confusing. We may live in a world that's more open to sex, but if so, our social media platforms are lagging behind. Keep reading »

Hi all, is this salvia? If it is can you tell which one? My wife loves it and would like me to plant a few for her but I'm not 100% sure I even know what the stuff is.
I'd greatly appreciate your help. Thanks Rick |

Wow that's a beautiful plant but not a salvia. I think it's known as Russian sage-Perovskia. Helena |

It sure looks like Perovskia to me. This genus is related to the European Salvias. See the Salvia Research Projects discussion http://www.botany.wisc.edu/salvia/MolecularSystematics/MolecularSystematics.html and the cladistic chart (URL given below) |

Chelsea vs Corinthians Live Streaming FIFA Club World Cup 16/12/2012
Get ready to watch Chelsea vs Corinthians live stream streaming online on 16/12/2012. The live online stream commentary and live online radio broadcast FIFA Club World Cup match between Chelsea and Corinthians at the International Stadium, Yokohama could be the first real step for the Blues to salvaging a season that has appeared to be running away from them after last season's high of winning the Champions League. It was that moment in May that has led Chelsea to this competition and final in this live FIFA Club World Cup online streaming football game against Corinthians and one match away from becoming the world club champions – something that other clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United have never achieved. Blues manager Rafael Benitez will have a successful time in the competition as Inter Milan boss to help him in this live streaming commentary and live online TV telecast FIFA Club World Cup match between Chelsea and Corinthians and the Spaniard can be said to be one of the best at winning cup-styled competitions like this. Without Benitez at the helm, all Chelsea have managed to win since lifting the Champions League has been… nothing. The Blues lost the Community Shield to Manchester City, were trounced 1-4 by Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup and fell out of the Champions League this season at the group phase – the first defending champions to suffer that ignominy. If Chelsea think they are giong to canter to the Club World Cup title against Corinthians though, they will have to have a big rethink as the Blues will be up against one of the best Brazilian clubs in the world. Chelsea will at least be more confident now with Benitez in charge as well as Fernando Torres appearing to be regaining his form – the Spanish international has now scored five goals in his last three matches, including one in the 3-1 win over Monterrey. Benitez could also continue with his rotation and tactical experimentation, the latest being David Luiz's conversion to a defensive midfielder. The Brazilian has often been much maligned for his horror shows in his preferred defensive position at centreback, but appeared very much at home when played in midfield in short cameos in the last two games. Luiz also brought up an interesting point that the South Americans take pride in playing in the Club World Cup and take winning the competition very seriously, compared to the European clubs. The likes of Luiz, Oscar and Ramires will therefore need no motivation to raise their game against Corinthians if Chelsea boss Benitez chooses to play them from the start. Juan Mata should also start the match as Benitez clearly considers him his midfield general and chief playmaker. Victor Moses may also be deployed from the start as he remains Chelsea's one true wing threat. In defence, Chelsea should have the usual foursome of Ashley Cole, Gary Cahill, Branislav Ivanovic and César Azpilicueta in the continued absence of John Terry.
Watch as Corinthians will unleash the skill and fury of Brazilian midfield whiz Paulinho on the Blues in this live commentary and live streaming radio broadcast FIFA Club World Cup match between Chelsea and Corinthians in the hope of landing their second success in the competition. Corinthians have previously won the competition prior to this FIFA Club World Cup live online streaming soccer game against Chelsea when they hosted the event in 2000. Now, the Brazilian champions are involved in the right way after becoming South American champions earlier this year before this live stream commentary and live streaming online TV telecast FIFA Club World Cup match between Chelsea and Corinthians and much of their success has been down to Paulinho. Despite continued interest from the biggest European clubs, Paulinho has so far chosen to remain with Corinthians and the club are looking to squeeze every success out of the midfielder before he eventually leaves. Chelsea are one of the clubs eyeing the midfielder and there will be many eyes on the player tonight to determine if he can transfer his domestic success to the European continent. Paulinho has been hyped to be the complete midfielder with an all round ability to track back to defend while terrorising opposing defences with his vision, pace and defence splitting passes. The Brazilian also has a perfect disciplinary record and a fitness level that has seen him never to miss a single match for the club. Chelsea will have a tough time against a solid Corinthians defence consisting of Alessandro, Fabio Santos with Ralf offering defensive midfield cover. There is more to Corinthians than Paulinho with an attacking lineup of Juan Manuel Martínez, Emerson and Peruvian center-forward Paolo Guerrero and the South Americans will definitely show off their trickery and cunning ball play on a Chelsea defence that is not the best in the world.
The FIFA Club World Cup online stream game Chelsea vs Corinthians will be shown on many of the best major satellite TV and telecast networks, with live streaming online on Internet PCs, sopcast, streamtorrent, torrentstream, flash and online channels also available. Do not miss out on the games with the best and most reliable broadcasters and stations from the opening kickoff.

Loving Paws of New England
Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.

Pets at Our Rescue Group:
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
We facilitate adoptions for all New England states. Additional fees apply to MA adoptionsAbout Our Rescue Group:
Loving Paws was formed in 2005 as a result of a woman wanting to make a difference. She enlisted the help of friends and Loving Paws was born! Today we work to give our southern rescue pups a second chance. We ensure the mother (and sometimes) fathers dogs are spayed/neutered if we help place the pups. One of our goals is to educate the community on the benefits of spay/neuter for their own dogs. We do pull dogs from high kill shelters- sometimes just hours before their time is up. Many of the dogs that end up in the kill shelters is a result of people not wanting their pups.Come Meet our Pets:
The pup/dog you have inquired about is still in a southern foster home.Our Adoption Process:
Loving Paws Rescue mainly has foster homes in the southern states. Many northern rescues work closely with the southern rescue groups to bring up puppies and adults for adoptin in the New England States. The reason for this is the New England states have worked hard to pass great laws concerning spay/neuter. By passing these laws they there aren't as many "unwanted litters" in the New England States. There are several transport companies that bring southern rescue pups north to their new homes. Loving Paws utilizes P.E.T.S LLC ( you can check out their transport by visiting their website http://www.petsllc.org/index.php)Although we search for New England foster homes, most of our adoptions are directly thru our website and its not possible to arrange a meeting of the pup before adoption. This type of adoption doesn't work for everyone and we would be happy to put you in touch with some of our sister groups who have pups on site. The adoption fee covers all of the vet work that has been performed prior to adoption and the required vet check and health certificate for interstate stransport and transport fees. All of our pets are spayed/neutered, vaccinated as age appropriate. If you are still interested in adopting from us, please email for an application. We have several adoption coordinators that process the applications and will contact you. We do ask that after completing and returning the application you contact your vet to let them know you are considering adopting and give them permission to give us a reference when we call.

Something mentioned in the hardware synths thread prompted me to ask
this question...So how does one go about adding buttons/knobs/switches that do
specific things to a standard computer? My best example of this is
the Muse Receptor - it is a standard computer, yet it has knobs that
do various tasks. I realize there is a hardware and software answer
to this question, but I'm more interested in the hardware part.In other words:
1)Where can I buy a knob?
2)Where do I plug it in?Finally, I also realize you can buy MIDI knob boxes; that's not what
I'm talking about here.--

Hi Kimberlyn. The whistlewood is a much softer pillowtop model. While your husband may have liked the feel, trying it at the store, his back won't like it to sleep on. Given his size and condition, stick with the Weybridge. You can add a little something to the top to take the edge off. A thicker mattress pad may be all you need. The whistlewood has too much "depth of softness" for him. I'm sure it would be fine for you, but he's the one with the problems.

American Hustle
Inside Llewyn Davis
The Wolf of Wall Street
CERTAINTIES: Nebraska has proven repeatedly that it's a strong contender in the Best Picture race, and this assures things for the intimate, black-and-white film about a Mid-Western old-timer on a quest for the million dollars he thinks he has won. Latecomers to the race American Hustle and The Wolf of Wall Street also needed this to establish bona fides.
SURPRISES:There has been a lot of doubt expressed about Her, but those who see it tend to love it. After faring well in a round of smaller awards last week, this nomination is just the latest proof that the sci-fi love story has what it takes.
SNUBS: It won a Pulitzer and a Tony, but August: Osage County hasn't done so well in the movie-awards department. Its omission is especially surprising because distributor Harvey Weinstein has such strong sway with the HFPA.
PRIZE FIGHTER SCORE: 4 out of 5. I thought August: Osage County would get in, but am happy to be wrong if it means the inclusion of Her, a film I thought the Globes would ignore — especially after such a fuss was made about the group disqualifying Scarlett Johansson's voice performance.

Sustainable technologies for auxiliary truck power and trailer refrigeration – a review of the evidence
Velazquez, Anthony, Cherrett, Tom and Waterson, Ben (2011) Sustainable technologies for auxiliary truck power and trailer refrigeration – a review of the evidence. In, 16th Annual Logistics Research Network (LRN) Conference, Southampton, GB, 07 - 09 Sep 2011.
Full text not available from this repository.
Diesel is the main fuel choice for commercial vehicles and its combustion produces CO2 which is considered the main contributor to global warming. For this reason, the government has targeted road transport to reduce its carbon footprint and it has developed different policy instruments to achieve this goal, such as the Low Carbon Transport Innovation Strategy (LCTIS) which encourages innovation and technology development in lower carbon transport technologies. Lower carbon footprints can benefit road hauliers to some extent, because usually this is achieved by reducing fuel consumption, which in turn decreases operating costs and therefore improves profitability. Nevertheless current technologies are at different stages of maturity and logistics companies considering adopting 'green' technology need to assess each in turn bearing in mind the trade-off between fuel savings and whole life cycle costs. The aim of this paper is to determine the extent to which low-carbon technologies and fuels are being used or could be used in the context of road haulage regarding auxiliary truck power (air conditioning and appliances) and trailer refrigeration units (TRUs).

Quoted from 47406 I am going to transition into the Teacher's Diet over the next month or two. I have too much wheat in my house right now to go cold turkey. I was wondering if there are any packaged breads or artichoke flour pastas out there that you guys can recommend. Also, if I make bread with a bread maker, are there any good recipes that you can recommend.I have a lot of white lines in my fingerprints. I'd like to see what this diet can do for me, but I think the wheat is going to be the hardest thing for me to remove from my diet at this point.
Quoted Text Dr DIt doesn't pay to get too hung up on the genotype determination that SWAMI supplies. The six basic types were more mission-critical with the GTD book. In software you can make an infinite number of gray-scale variations, and indeed if you cross-compare between the different diets that result due to subtle changes that result in different genotype outcomes you will find that they still bear considerable similarity to each other; the genotype serving to provide a sort of 'targeted filter' more than a specific either-or type outcome.As an AB it can be a bit more frustrating as there are the greatest number possible genotypes (which in a way makes sense, since the physical determinants become more important; and indeed ABs do seem to have a significant amount of physical distinctions between themselves and between the genders.)
Quoted from unclepaul Hey everyone new to the forum thing but I'll get it figured out in time. Another a+non secretor teacher genotype here at least I think I'm a teacher. Been dealing with health issues most of my life and after learning I was non secretor last year now suspect why. In the last year or so figured out I cant do the dairy recommended any wheat products, eat spelt instead, and recently peanut butter and peanuts, pretty sure its the molds on nuts and seeds that stuff me up and make my ears itch. Was thinking the non secretor blood type diet without the moldy foods might be my best option, or and the reason I'm on here maybe try the swami program, looking for opinions.Thanks,Paul
Quoted from purlgirl Bee - welcome to teacherland.Until someone more informed comes along here is my thoughts.To perspire is natural and healthy. So my guess is that improving your diet is causing some cleansing. Probably a temporay discomfort. Stick with your best food and drink plenty of water.Let us know how your doing.
Quoted from 51567 Hi all,I'm very confident that I am a teacher which means I'm doomed. Reason being, I love beef and chicken, strawberries and watermelon, drink many supplements including whey proteins and feel that aside from fish and cheese, there isn't much in way of proteins. I work out often and need a high protein intake. Any recommendations out there for good protein supplements? Also, how is it that cucumbers are bad but cucumber juice is good. I'm totally new at this and want to try but feel limited to where I can eat...never even heard of a cloudberry or where to find one. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks

8 First Time Directors Who Got Hired For Major Films
Cinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on December 18, 2013 | Comments (2)People don't just get handed million-dollar blockbusters, nor do studios go door-to-door looking for someone to direct the next Jurassic Park. That's why the following list of first time directors – while seemingly out of nowhere – certainly had backgrounds directing stuff like music videos or commercials. Still – they were untested in feature filmmaking, and to the un-obsessed public it would appear that studios simply plucked a dude off the street.

Movie News By Adam Bellotto on August 16, 2013 | Comments (1)You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension of sight and sound but also of mind; a journey into a wondrous land where a director known for two mediocre science fiction films is given the keys to a classic series- his next stop, The Twilight Zone! That's right, The Twilight Zone is getting another modern retelling, this time with Oblivion and Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski in talks to direct. This marks the fourth remake for The Twilight Zone, including the 1983 film and the TV revivals in 1985 and 2002. This speaks volumes about what we're likely to get in our next Twilight Zone remake. For one, there's only one director being announced- so either Kosinski will be directing all of the film's segments by himself, or the film will inexplicably be a single episode stretched to feature length. And second, Kosinski's not known for his horror chops. The only two pictures in his filmography are futuristic sci-fi tales, so could his modern Twilight Zone ease up on the spookiness and send us centuries into the future? The folks at The Hollywood Reporter mention that the script has already been re-written to hell and back, but will be altered to fit Kosinski's unique style. That's key as anyone who's watched and loved Rod Serling's series knows its memorable greatness came from the stories. No word yet on who, specifically, is in charge of alterations. The big question from here is: who'll be the narrator/host? My vote goes to Keith David.
Joseph Kosinski Blends Architecture and Narrative for 'Oblivion'
Features By Jack Giroux on April 27, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWith only two films under his belt, director Joseph Kosinski's architectural background rings loud and clear. From his approach to framing to the elaborate sets, everything feels deliberate. For Kosinski, that purposefulness doesn't purely derive from painting a shiny picture, but from building character. For his second feature film, Oblivion, the director follows his dissatisfied protagonist, Jack Harper (Tom Cruise), through isolating and contrasting settings highlighting his dillema. Jack's conflict is what drove Joseph Kosinski to spend the past few years of his life developing the project based on an idea of his own. The TRON: Legacy director wanted to make a character-driven science-fiction film, not a set-piece one. Kosinski's film isn't one packed with set pieces, making the movie rest on Jack and Cruise's shoulders. Kosinski, despite his busy schedule, made the time to speak with us this week after the film's successful release. Here's what he had to say about the heart of the film, his favorite set, and how video games differ heavily from movies.
9 Big Questions Left Unanswered by 'Oblivion'
Features By Scott Beggs on April 20, 2013 | Comments (331)Oblivion is the kind of science fiction movie that plays with a lot of other movies' toys and forgets to clean them up afterward. Then we all step on a HAL 9000 doll in the middle of the night when we're going for that last piece of fried chicken in the fridge, and the bruise reminds us to yell rhetorically at the Tom Cruise-starring movie the next morning. How many times have we told it to pick up its things? The movie's created some mixed responses, but it's also left behind some huge questions. Plot holes, really, if we're being honest. It's messy for how hard it tries to be smart. Some of those questions are inconsequential, some slightly annoying and some vital to what could have been sci-fi success. On their own, they could have amounted to nitpicks, but the sheer number of them (and the severity of a few) made for a truly confused experience. Spoilers for Oblivion abound so beware, but if you've already seen or just plain don't care, let's dive in to the bizarre question marks looming high in the sky over Joseph Kosinski's latest film.
Review: 'Oblivion' Is Gorgeous Spectacle Painted With a Very Familiar Brush
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on April 18, 2013 | Comments (4)Oblivion is many things. [pause for laughter from readers who've seen the film] It's a thrilling mix of science fiction, action and discovery. It's visually stunning and filled with beauties both CGI and natural. It's a major step up from director Joseph Kosinski's debut film (Tron: Legacy). It's a thinly-veiled commentary on drone warfare. It's scored with occasional energy and life by M83. It's a rare example of a film that almost demands to be seen on an IMAX screen. It's the near epitome of style over substance. And it's the most derivative sci-fi film since Avatar. Jack (Tom Cruise) is a repairman whose sole duty is keep defensive drones functioning. He and his teammate, Victoria (Andrea Riseborough), are the last remaining humans on Earth after a devastating alien attack sent our species scrambling for new digs on Saturn's moon, Titan. A handful of humans including Jack and Victoria's commander sit aboard a space station orbiting above them, but when Jack's curiosity regarding alien actions on the planet's nuclear pock-marked surface causes friction he's thrown into an unexpected adventure with far-reaching implications.
Review: 'Oblivion' is a Black Hole of Borrowed Sci-Fi Ideas
Movie Reviews By Scott Beggs on April 12, 2013 | Comments (5)Joseph Kosinski's Oblivion is a lot like a fireworks display on a Tuesday. It has no real reason to exist, and while the visuals are exciting, they only impress for fifteen minutes before things get faulty and repetitive. In other words, leave it to Kosinski to make fireworks boring. In the film itself, those fifteen minutes are scattered unevenly through a wasteland that feels much longer than its runtime. Around the third hour of the two-hour-long movie, Morgan Freeman's gruff survivalist character describes an outside threat as without a soul, without humanity, merely a beautiful machine. He might as well have been talking about this movie. Jack (Tom Cruise) is a handyman soldier stationed at a beautiful house that stands above the wreckage that used to be the planet. His job is to repair drones that have malfunctioned or been brought down violently by Scavengers — the enemy that destroyed the Moon, that doomed mankind to head for an interstellar refuge and that still lives in small numbers despite the utter devastation caused by earthquakes and floods. That war was sixty years ago, but Jack and his romantic colleague Victoria (Andrea Riseborough) are doing a tour of earthbound duty to ensure that a few giant, floating rigs are able to suck up the remaining sea water in order to harvest energy. However, Jack is plagued by dreams of a woman (Olga Kurylenko) standing atop the pre-war Empire State Building and can't shake the feeling that he knows her. Eventually, that […]
'Oblivion' Trailer: We're Starting to Think Earth Isn't Just a Memory
Movie News By Kate Erbland on February 28, 2013 | Comments (5)The fact that Joseph Kosinski's Oblivion looks just beautiful in its ads isn't surprising – his Tron: Legacy may have been a giant disappointment, but that disappointment sure looked nice on the big screen – but now that the wow factor of the Tom Cruise-starring, future-set film has warn off, it's time we actually examine the meat of what we've been shown so far. First of all, no matter what its tagline tells us, we're fairly certain that Earth isn't just "a memory." In fact, we're also fairly certain that Tom Cruise's Jack Harper is actually kicking it on Earth throughout much of the film. Gotcha, marketing! Wait, we knew that already? What? Of course we knew that already, but why then is the film's tagline the bizarrely obtuse "Earth is a memory worth fighting for"? We know that Jack's down on Earth, tasked with drone repair on a plant ruined after a long war with an alien race (essentially, he's Wall-E), and we know that he finds people (maybe?) still living on the desecrated planet – so why all this "memory" hubbub? Let's hope Kosinski has an answer for us to make up for Tron. In the film's latest trailer, we get more "memory" talk and a greater understanding of Jack's day to day work. Check it out after the break.
'Oblivion' Trailer: Tom Cruise, Per Usual, Won't Back Down
Movie Trailers By Jack Giroux on December 8, 2012 | Comments (7)Years ago, commercial director Joseph Kosinski was one of the hottest up-and-comers, with a bright, bright future. Then we actually saw that his feature debut, Tron: Legacy, didn't play as much more than a technically impressive showcase for the filmmaker. He took $150 million and had Jeff Bridges saying stuff like, "Bio-digital jazz, man." Money not put to good use, I say. Kosinski was then written off as a director with nothing more than a nice eye, no true knack for storytelling. But after seeing the first full-length trailer for his new sci-fi epic, Oblivion, I think maybe some of us spoke too soon. This original science-fiction pic, starring Tom Cruise roaming a desolated Earth, seems like a fairly routine hero's journey, albeit told on a far more ambitious canvas than what we saw on display in Tron: Legacy. This trailer does a fine job of setting up film's the world and Cruise's character, Jack Harper (not to be confused with Jack Reacher). Take a first-look at Oblivion for yourself after the break (or on Apple.com).
'Oblivion' Poster: An Earth That Has "Evolved Beyond Recognition" (And Looks Awesome While Doing It)
Movie News By Kate Erbland on December 7, 2012 | Be the First To CommentNo matter how audiences felt about Joseph Kosinski's Tron: Legacy (point of fact, this writer did not feel particularly good about it), the film is undeniably a treat for the eyes, so it's no surprise that Kosinski's latest outing, Oblivion, already manages to look like a visual feast from a one-sheet poster alone. The Tom Cruise-starrer is based on Kosinski's (and Arvid Nelson's) own graphic novel, and centers on "a spectacular future Earth that has evolved beyond recognition, [where] one man's confrontation with the past will lead him on a journey of redemption and discovery as he battles to save mankind." The film also stars Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, and Melissa Leo. We'll get our first look at the film's trailer on Sunday but, for now, this poster is jaw-dropping enough. Oblivion will be released exclusively in IMAX on April 12, 2013, with a wide release following on April 19, 2013. [IGN, via ComingSoon]
Tom Cruise's Upcoming Sci-Fi Adventure 'Oblivion' Will Benefit From the Soundscapes of M83
Movie Music By Nathan Adams on June 28, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhen director Joseph Kosinski revived Disney's sci-fi classic TRON with the belated but visually dazzling 2010 sequel TRON: Legacy, the results were a mixed bag to say the least. One thing that pretty much everyone could agree upon when it came to that film, however, is that the score by French electronic group Daft Punk was the best thing it had going for it. Eschewing a traditional film score in favor of the pulsing, electronic sounds of Daft Punk worked wonders when it came to bringing the world of TRON to life and really making it hum, and it's not hard to imagine that the film could have been far less effective without such a perfect marriage of image and sound. TRON: Legacy isn't the only film that's gone the nontraditional route when it comes to finding its music in recent years, either. From Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood scoring Paul Thomas Anderson movies, to Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor scoring David Fincher films, to The Chemical Brothers providing the music for Joe Wright's Hanna, bringing a mainstream musician in to score your film instead of hiring one of the well-established film score composers seems to have become a full-scale trend, and a trend that has so far provided us with some amazing music. Since it worked for him once, Kosinski is looking to go back to that well for his next sci-fi adventure, Oblivion. The Playlist reports that in order to find the musical accompaniment for this Tom Cruise-starring tale of […]
Tom Cruise's 'Oblivion' Poaches 'Game of Thrones' Star Nicolaj Coster-Waldau
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on February 13, 2012 | Comments (2)Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski's upcoming sci-fi project Oblivion has grown in hype quite a bit since it was first announced. Mostly that's due to the fact that Tom Cruise signed on to be its headliner, and whenever that happens a movie suddenly goes from being a project of the director to being a "Tom Cruise movie" in the hearts and minds of the public. But, spotlight-hogging by Cruise aside, Oblivion is a movie that's been quietly developing into quite the little ensemble piece over the past few weeks. The film is about a man on a post-apocalyptic world who discovers a crash-landed space ship containing a mysterious woman. Cruise is playing the lead, of course, but Olga Kurlyenko has already signed on to play his wife back home, Andrea Riseborough has signed on to play the crash-landed woman, and according to Deadline Nashoba, not only has Morgan Freeman signed on for a critical role, but Game of Thrones' Jamie Lannister, Nicolaj Coster-Waldau, has also agreed to come on playing the role of Sykes, who is said to be a badass weapons expert. After seeing what he has to offer playing a smug warrior in Game of Thrones, this is a role that I'm confident Coster-Waldau can pull off.
Joseph Kosinski's Tom Cruise-Starring Sci-fi Flick Gets Two Leading Ladies
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on January 20, 2012 | Comments (1)Talk about cinematic whiplash. Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinksi's next project has already gone through myriad incarnations, and the project doesn't even have an official name yet. Count that as one of the incarnations, I guess, because it's already had two names and is currently title-less, despite the fact that it's an adaptation of a graphic novel that Kosinski himself has supposedly written that, you guessed it, has a title. Kosinksi conceived of and wrote the graphic novel, known as "Oblivion," with Arvid Nelson for Radical Publishing, and the book was the primed for a film adaptation before it even hit the page. The story is set in a future where the Earth has been irradiated to the point that humanity can no longer inhabit it, and follows a man who lives "above the clouds, safe from the brutal alien Scavengers that stalk the ruins. But when surface drone repairman Jak discovers a mysterious woman in a crash-landed pod, it sets off an unstoppable chain of events that will force him to question everything he knows." Tom Cruise has long been attached to play Jak, but the film's two female roles (Jak's wife back at home and the lady he finds) have been the subject of speculation for months. Jessica Chastain was attached to the wife role back in September, but had to leave the project, thanks to her now-crammed schedule. Other ladies that tested for the role, including Olga Kurylenko, Brit Marling, Noomi Rapace, and Olivia Wilde, might have been called back, because […]
Jessica Chastain Lands Leading Lady Role in Tom Cruise-Starring Sci-Fi Flick
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on September 27, 2011 | Comments (3)Get ready to hear the name "Jessica Chastain" much more in the coming months (a little bird tells me that you can even expect to see a couple of reviews for a Chastain film on this very site within the next few days). The actress is set for the big leagues, thanks to being plucked from relative obscurity by Terrence Malick to star in his The Tree of Life that finally opened earlier this year, followed by roles in Take Shelter, The Debt, Texas Killing Fields, and the upcoming star-fest that is The Wettest County. Now Chastain has landed a prime leading lady position opposite Tom Cruise in Joseph Kosinski's sci-f film that is…well, apparently without a title as of now. But you may know it as Oblivion or Horizons. Let's call it Obli-zons and be done with it. Tron: Legacy director Kosinski is helming the film is based on an upcoming graphic novel that he himself conceived of and wrote (with Arvid Nelson) for Radical Publishing. The script for the film has been adapted by William Monahan, with a rewrite by Karl Gajdusek and a polish by Michael Arndt. The story centers on the character that Cruise will play, a repairman named Jak. But Jak's life is just a smidge different than that of any other sort of repairman, because he lives in a future where an alien invasion has irradiated the Earth so severely that it is no longer inhabitable. The population of the planet now lives in the […]
Movie News After Dark: Apes Will Rise, Jackman Will Hunt and Human Centipede: The Musical
Movie News By Neil Miller on April 6, 2011 | Comments (6)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly column about movie news. It will not try to sew your face to someone else's butt. It will, however, make your hind quarters sore. So give yourself over to it — it will be gentle, at first. Fox's upcoming Planet of the Apes prequel, previously titled Rise of the Apes, has been retitled to give it that ole' familiar ring. It will now be called Rise of the Planet of the Apes, which should hold until they can figure out a less concise way to title it. Either way, it's got James Franco, so I'm seeing it.

Movie News By Nathan Adams on March 17, 2011 | Comments (1)What is Movie News After Dark? This is a question that I am almost never asked, but I will answer it for you anyway. Movie News After Dark is FSR's late-night secretion, a column dedicated to all of the news stories that slip past our daytime editorial staff and make it into my curiously chubby RSS 'flagged' box. It will (but is not guaranteed to) include relevant movie news, links to insightful commentary and other film-related shenanigans. I may also throw in a link to something TV-related here or there. It will also serve as my place of record for being both charming and sharp-witted, but most likely I will be neither of the two. I write this stuff late at night, what do you expect?
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: December 17, 2010
Features By Kevin Carr on December 17, 2010 | Comments (2)This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr enters the grid (which is what he likes to call his local IMAX theater) to try and find an old and hairy Jeff Bridges amidst a bunch of young-looking sexy-time people in tight body suits. Afterwards, he has a pic-i-nic at Jellystone Park and faces a bear attack. It's a good thing he had his hunting rifle with him… but he still wonders why that grizzly he shot was wearing a hat and tie. Finally, he hands out some grades on two limited release award flicks that really don't jazz him as much as a big, dumb IMAX 3D movie.
Interview: Director Joseph Kosinski, Producers Steven Lisberger and Sean Bailey on Tron's Legacy
Features By Neil Miller on December 17, 2010 | Comments (1)In 1982, Steven Lisberger gave Tron to the world. It was an ambitious project with visual effects that were unlike anything ever attempted before. The result was a film made for $17 million dollars, a lot at the time, that flopped to a $33 million dollar box office take. For all intents and purposes, that was the end of the road. But here we are, 28 years later with a new Tron that Disney has spent north of $200 million dollars on. Lisberger has handed off the reigns to producer Sean Bailey and a young commercial director named Joseph Kosinski, leaving them with the task of bringing back Tron in a high-resolution way for a new generation of users. When we caught up with the three men at the recent TRON: Legacy press junket for a roundtable discussion, they were eager to talk about the journey of Tron, the technology of Legacy and why the world of cinema has been flooded recently with so many sequels and remakes.
'Tron: Legacy' Review: When Beauty Met a Lack of Ambition
Movie Reviews By Neil Miller on December 16, 2010 | Comments (13)Tron: Legacy is a thing of beauty. This is what everyone seems to be ignoring this week as Disney's latest titan of budget and marketing roars into theaters, hell bent on whipping the masses into a consumerist frenzy just before 'Oh holy night.' But it's true: Tron: Legacy, born of concept footage from young director Joseph Kosinski and a Comic-Con crowd who, at the time, had zero expectations for such a project, is a beautiful experience. It may be remembered as a beautiful disaster, but it's beautiful nonetheless. The great problem is that after several years, three Comic-Cons and millions of dollars in marketing later, it's hard for heavily invested fans to accept that a concept so cool could yield a film so mediocre. That's a hard notion to swallow. What we saw on that fateful July day at Comic-Con in 2008 was The Grid, fully realized in a new and exciting way. It was bold and sleek, fast-moving and exciting. It also included Jeff Bridges, our own champion du nostalgia. This final version has all of those things. It's what's been added that becomes problematic.
Tron Legacy Infects Your Desktop and Your iPad
Movie News By Scott the Intern on August 9, 2010 | Comments (3)You may have noticed that around here, we're starting to develop "a thing" for Joseph Kosinski's hyper-modern reboot (get it, that's a computer term) of the Tron franchise. It has something to do with the fact that Tron Legacy once again showed up to rock Comic-Con, as we saw in the new trailer released that same weekend. The film looks like and off-the-charts visual spectacle and is perhaps one of the few 3D movies worth looking forward to between now and the end of the year. Save for Drive Angry, of course. To keep you in the mood and keep you locked into the cool blues and electric yellows of the Tron universe, a company called LE Studios X has released a series of desktop wallpapers and iPad wallpapers celebrating Disney's return to the inside of a computer. They appear to be based on the advertising banners that were previously released, but they've been cleaned up to fit perfectly on your desktops. We've selected a few favorites and posted them after the jump for your viewing pleasure.
Disney Picks Up Oblivion, The Rad Sci-Fi Adaptation from Tron: Legacy Director Joseph Kosinski

Nothing like an awesome premise combined with an impressive director (Tron: Legacy's young gun Joseph Kosinski) to brighten up a rather bland Thursday afternoon. Details after the jump.

"Figuring out how to make smart choices about some of our favorite foods can often be a cumbersome and daunting process. So we're hoping we can make those choices a little bit easier: starting today you will be able to quickly and easily find extensive nutrition information for over 1,000 fruits, vegetables, meats and meals in search," she wrote.
"From the basics of potatoes and carrots to more complex dishes like burritos and chow mein, you can simply ask, 'How much protein is in a banana?' or 'How many calories are in an avocado?' and get your answer right away."
The feature (which I have yet to see show up on nutritional search queries) reminds me of the menu calorie count requirement many restaurants have implemented in recent years — only, unlike the jaw-droppingly high numbers on milkshakes and french fries, hopefully this is more positive incentive to swap that cookie for a tasty carrot.
I'll be interested to see what results the nutrition feature gives when Google finishes rolling it out. It would have come in handy later during our dinner when we tried to calculate the nutrient content of the watermelon we had with dessert.
What's your take? Leave a comment and tell us your opinion.

I've been in this situation a few times before I don't make threats I just straight up pop the people first deal with threats later. My theory is call the cops after I kicked your ass and you threatened me I was just defending myself.

Skier was a douchebag... I'll let the rest of you rail the guy.
but I don't really think I can condone that one guy taking off his shirt and then following the guy (plus the push... not sure what that was about). I realize that the guy deserved it, but it's better if you're just the bigger man and all. (Please note: No problem unstrapping from the board. I would've done that too in case the guy decided to try something) |

Boston Marathon
Running for a cure, running for a friend
Londonderry resident Gary Sloper will run in the Boston Marathon on Monday to raise funds in honor of a friend battling cancer. (Courtesy) |
Gary Sloper, 37, said he never thought of himself as a marathon runner, but that all changed when he learned that his close friend Louie Smirnioudis had been diagnosed with lung cancer.
Sloper said the news hit his family hard.
"We were just devastated," he said. "Then I got thinking - what could be the best way to raise funds for the cause, while honoring Louie?"
Though he'd only taken up running about a year ago, Sloper soon had his sights set on the Boston Marathon.
As the regional vice president of pre-sales engineering for Century Link, Sloper had participated in a half-marathon his workplace sponsored last year to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Last winter he ran a full marathon at Hampton Beach and he's been training full-time ever since.
"I really wasn't a runner and running a half-marathon was more than I'd ever dreamed," he said.
A visit to Smirnioudis in his hospital room at Dana Farber served as motivation.
"It was really eye-opening and I thought a lot about what Louie's been going through," Sloper said. "Even though training is tough, there's an end in sight. It's just a sacrifice you do. For Louie, things aren't so easy or simple."
Over the long winter months, Sloper said he'd rise extra early so he could be jogging on the road by 4 a.m., well before his daily commute.
"It's funny what becomes part of your regular routine," Sloper said. "For me it became the new normal to wear a head lamp and jog along in pitch darkness."
The family has known Smirnioudis, who owns the Windmill Restaurant in Concord, for more than 20 years.
Smirnioudis' lungs were filled with fluid last winter and he couldn't walk down the stairs. He spent the winter months in a hospital bed as doctors aggressively treated his cancer.
Now feeling a bit better and resting at home, Smirnioudis will soon learn if his most recent treatments have been a success.
Sloper said his friend's perseverance is truly inspiring.
"This is a man who came here from Greece many years ago with $20 in his pocket," Sloper said. "He's worked so hard for everything he's accomplished and he always gives back."
Sloper said his friend opens up his restaurant to the local homeless each Thanksgiving, where he provides a free holiday meal to neighbors in need.
When Sloper told Smirnioudis about his plans to run in the Boston Marathon, "He said, 'Don't do it for me. Do it for someone else who needs help'," Sloper said.
As of Wednesday evening, Sloper had raised more than $6,000 for Dana Farber. He's hoping to raise at least $2,000 more by Marathon Monday.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chuck, a Milwaukee Domestic Mediumhair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in Milwaukee, or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair kitten from a breeder in Milwaukee.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Milwaukee already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Milwaukee breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Mediumhair breeders who help with Domestic Mediumhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Milwaukee paves the way for another one to be saved.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
DISCUSSION -- US/CHINA update

against the dollar.
Most of the econ reports that Jen sends (including China Base Metals and
UBS) expect further appreciation for the rest of the year, some estimating
as much as 4 percent.
A top professor at the PBC's training school says that 3 percent rise in
2010 is the 'redline' and above that would hurt exporters. This is the
same as the estimated average inflation rate for the year, so bascially
this implies china is targeting yuan appreciation at exactly the inflation
rate. This is similar to Central Bank Chief Zhou's statements linking
inflation-yuan appreciation and saying that if China can control
inflation, then it will continue RMB rise.
At the same time, we have other signs of US-China thawing, including the
mil-mil improvements, the Senate Finance Chairman's trip to China this
week, the CNOOC investment in Texas, and Obama clearing the C-130 Hercules
sales for China.
All of this suggests the two have found a way to put off confrontation in
the short term. We'll have to watch all week, but in this context the two
seem capable of managing relations in a way that doesn't "force" the US to
provoke a confrontation.
Still, the Treasury Report this week is going to be a real indicator of US
admin's intentions.

Chinese yuan reaches new high at 6.6732 per U.S. dollar Monday
English.news.cn 2010-10-11 [IMG]Feedback[IMG]Print[IMG]RSS[IMG][IMG]
BEIJING, Oct. 11 (Xinhua) -- The value of yuan, China's currency
Renminbi, hit new high against U.S. dollar Monday as the central parity
rate of the yuan was set at 6.6732 per U.S. dollar, according to the
data released by the China Foreign Exchange Trading System.
Monday's central parity rate beat the previous record of 6.6830 on Oct.
The yuan has picked up its strength against the U.S. dollars and seen
increased volatility in the trading days since the People's Bank of
China (PBOC), the central bank, announced on June 19 this year to
increase exchange rate flexibility.
Based on Monday's central parity, the Chinese currency has strengthened
against the U.S. dollar by about 2.26 percent from the rate of 6.8275
per U.S. dollar that was set a day before the PBOC's pledge to increase
On China's foreign exchange spot market, the yuan can rise or fall 0.5
percent from the central parity rate during trading each day.
China would continue reform of the formation mechanism of its currency
exchange rate to improve its flexibility, but will do so in a gradual
way, Zhou Xiaochuan, Governor of the People's Bank of China, China's
central bank, said in Washington on Sunday.

TylerDecember 1999 |
I wanted to take time this month to tell you what I think about the school system, and how easily they get swayed from what is right. I'm sure it happens everywhere, just as it did here. It really is a shame to see people so scared to take on the "Religious Right" that they give up, and quit fighting for what they the believe. It makes you wonder what the conservative religious right in our country has become. Perhaps they are no longer simply a God-fearing group of people to who claim to have higher and truer morals than the rest of us, but rather a bully who uses God's name to fight equality and freedom. It's become their way or no way lately. Where will it end?
I omitted all names to protect the Conservative hypocrites. As you will read, I am a much better person than they, at least I am willing to protect those I don't like!
In my school system, which shall remain unnamed, we were finally going to pass a policy to protect gay staff and students from discrimination and harassment. Everything was going great. The school board unanimously voted in favor of the policy. Unfortunately, it was only the preliminary vote, and the final vote was not to take place for another month.
Outraged by the first vote, the religious right stepped in to crush those who believed in equality and protection for gay students and teachers. The religious right had organized a campaign to stop the policy in its tracks. They had people complain to the school board, give passionate speeches about how wrong and sinful homosexuality is, and how the policy would corrupt the system, giving gays protection. The extreme measures taken by the right, forced the board to get legal advice about the policy and it's repercussions. The legal advice was to remove homosexuals from the anti-discrimination, anti-harassment policy. The right had won, yet again. The Board, fearing the religious right, voted 3-2 to exclude homosexuals from the policy. Even with all the effort put forth by former students and parents who had gone through the worst, Local High School guidance counselors, PFLAG, and other gay-rights groups, there was nothing that could overcome the pressure of the Right. A Pastor from a local Baptist church made a comment after the final vote was announced. He said he was upset and worried, that only 3 of the board members were against the homosexual cause, and the policy was only one vote away from going in effect.
A statement made by one Mother, whose gay son had attended High School in the district, summed it up. She stated that the Board sent out the same message, that the gay students and teachers here must continue to hide. As proof of her opinion, the regional newspaper was unable to find ANY gay students or staff that was willing to come forth and give their opinion. I would imagine they fear the same thing I do. They fear not only for their safety, but also their ability to live in peace.
So, as it stands right now, homosexuals have no protection from discrimination or harassment in this school system.
Is the Religious Right simply a bully out to fight the people in this world who demand peace, equality, and the freedom to be themselves? The answer is not in black and white, but in my mind, the answer is without much doubt, yes. It would take a lot for me to believe the Religious Right is anything more than a group of people filled with hatred and prejudice.
Thank you for taking the time to see what I have to say!
Best Wishes,
Tyler is a high school student in Florida. He receives a great deal of comfort through music, which in this case happens to be Metal. He also enjoys the theatre, creative and expressive writing, spending time in the outdoors, and reading such as Shakespeare and Poe.

The Cleveland State softball team won the first game of a doubleheader Thursday afternoon, 3-2 in extra innings at Lady Cougar Field.
The Lady Cougars came within one out of a sweep, but the Southwest Tennessee Lady Saluqis staged a dramatic comeback to win game two, 8-6.
Southwest struck first in game one, pushing a run across in its first turn at the plate. Two straight singles led to the first score as Tara Comer knocked in the run with a groundout for a 1-0 lead.
The Lady Cougars came right back in their half of the first, when Emily Huston drew a two-out walk then came all the way around to score on a Southwest miscue to tie the game at 1-1.
The home team took the lead an inning later after Leslie Nunnelly singled and came around to score on an error for a 2-1 advantage.
Once again the Lady Saluqis scratched out a run to tie the game in the top of the fifth, as Comer singled home the tying run and eventually forced extra innings.
A one-out double from Tori Roberts in the bottom of the eighth put the Lady Cougars in business. Jennifer Kern laid down a nice sacrifice bunt and Nunnelly ended game one with a solid single to give the home team the win.
Ida Watson went the distance to pick up the win for the Lady Cougars while Taylor Thomas suffered the loss for Southwest.
The Lady Saluqis jumped out front in game two as Alex Turner belted a solo homer in the top of the third to put the visitors on top, 1-0.
The Lady Cougars got that run back and added two more in their half of the third. Singles by Sara O'Rear, Huston, Hindi and Hannah Powell accounted for all three runs. Hindi and Powell picked up an RBI each while the third run crossed on a Southwest miscue for a 3-1 advantage.
Southwest seesawed back in front in the top of the fifth as Dallas Chipman doubled off the fence with the bases loaded for three big runs and Comer followed with the third bloop hit of the inning to add another run to help her team take a 5-3 lead.
The Lady Cougars made some noise in the bottom of the sixth as they erased the Southwest lead in dramatic fashion. Back-to-back one-out singles from Tori Roberts and Ashley Swaney put the tying runs on base and with two outs and two strikes, O'Rear came through with a clutch double into the left-center field gap to plate both runs and tie the game. Nunnelly then put her team on top with a triple into the other outfield gap to push O'Rear across the plate for a 6-5 lead.
The Lady Saluqis just would not go away as they staged a rally of their own in the top of the seventh. A single, a walk and an error put runners on second and third with one out. A great diving catch at first base by Roberts recorded out number two. Kelsey Knight then singled home the tying run and Alex Stanford followed that by singling in two more to put Southwest on top for good, 8-6.
A two-out double by Kristen Qualls brought the tying run to the plate in the bottom of the seventh, but the Lady Saluqis recorded the final out to seal the win and the split of the twin bill.
Kayla Wright picked up the win for the Lady Saluqis (11-41, 5-29) while Kelsey Haley took the loss for Cleveland State (20-26, 15-19).

Cryptozoology Reports from the Paranormal Database
Cryptozoology tends to be split into two areas of study. The first deals with animals which are classified from fossil evidence, but are currently considered extinct. The classic example of this type is the Thylacine; the creature officially died out in the early twentieth century, though sightings of the Australian animal still occur today. OOP (Out of Place) creatures are also categorised under this heading, such as the hundreds of Alien Big Cats sightings reported in the UK each year.
The second area of research examines creatures for which no tangible evidence exists, but are carried down the ages in the form of folk stories and myths, or the witness reports are too fantastic to be readily accepted. The following list is a collection of both types of report...

It has also been speculated that the sighting may be connected to an old Anglo-Saxon burial ground close to the bridge. Reports of the area being haunted by a Shag Foal go back almost one hundred years.
Location: Drogheda (County Louth) - Unnamed road in the area Type: Cryptozoology Date / Time: 1966 Further Comments: Two people travelling by car had to stop and wait for a couple of minutes after a horse with a human's face blocked the road.

After a battle which lasted two days, the king killed the beast but himself died soon after from exhaustion.
Enchanted Eel
Location: Dunkettle (County Cork) - Lake close to small graveyard Type: Cryptozoology Date / Time: Unknown Further Comments: This eel must have been of great size, as it terrorised the neighbourhood, eating sheep and cattle. A man tending the graveyard encountered the creature one morning and severed its tail with a hook. Enraged, the creature attacked but the man managed to run away. What happened to the creature after that is undocumented, but the man in question died a few days later, and one of the headstones in the graveyard is said to be decorated with a hook and an eel.
