Screen Rant's Ben Kendrick reviews We Bought a Zoo
Writer/director Cameron Crowe has helmed a number of iconic and critically acclaimed films – including Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous, and Vanilla Sky. However, the celebrated filmmaker hit a wall when his 2005 drama, Elizabethtown was poorly received and underperformed at the box office.
As a result, film fans have been eagerly anticipating Crowe's follow-up feature project, We Bought a Zoo – an adaptation of writer Benjamin Mee's memoir, We Bought a Zoo: The Amazing True Story of a Young Family, a Broken Down Zoo, and the 200 Wild Animals That Changed Their Lives Forever. The rich source material, coupled with Crowe's character-focused storytelling approach, were certainly indicators that We Bought a Zoo could offer another thoughtful and ...

"Big gestures are common currency in Cameron Crowe country," begins Vadim Rizov at GreenCine Daily, and that's the gist, too, of Sam Adams's piece for Slate: "He's made bad movies, but never a bad trailer." Vadim: "John Cusack holding a boombox over his head in Say Anything..., Jerry Maguire's much-quoted romantic highlights ('You had me at hello'), an unironically lovestruck-and-desperate run alongside a moving bus in Almost Famous. Crowe openly states his method in We Bought a Zoo: 'All you need is 20 seconds of insane courage,' dad Benjamin Mee (Matt Damon) tells lovestruck son Dylan (Colin Ford). 'And I promise you, something great will come of it.' This is both a baldly stated stab at future quotability and a declaration of Crowe's full investment: every time his characters do something outsized and cornball, he's the one hoping a great moment rather than a fiasco will emerge from it. »

Matt Damon has admitted that he imitated We Bought A Zoo director Cameron Crowe while filming the family drama. Damon joked in a discussion with The AP that Crowe's unique personality always seems to influence his actors. "Everybody's playing him a little bit... There's a look that he gets," Damon recalled. "I see it a lot with Rene [Zellweger] and [Tom] Cruise in Jerry Maguire. I have it in this movie. "It's that thing where somebody's explaining something to you and you're not quite sure what they're saying and you're trying to figure it out. It's this very Cameron kind of thing that's in all his movies." Crowe also weighed in on We Bought A Zoo, saying that the film fits in thematically with his previous work such as Elizabethtown and Almost Famous. (more) »

'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' easily wins #1 spot over long holiday weekend.

This Christmas, Tom Cruise was "impossible" to beat at the box office.
"Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" was the #1 movie over the long holiday weekend, easily beating competition from two competing sequels with an additional $46.2 million as it expanded into wide release. The fourth entry in the Tom Cruise franchise, this one directed by Brad Bird ("The Incredibles"), has racked up $78.6 million in domestic receipts since it debuted in limited release 11 days ago.
"Ghost Protocol" is the best-reviewed entry in the franchise, which kicked off in 1996 with an inaugural film (based on the popular late '60s TV series) directed by Brian De Palma ("Scarface"). Action maestro John Woo ("The Killer") helmed "M:i 2" four years later. The J.J. Abrams-directed "Mission: Impossible III »

Jeremy Irvine, Steven Spielberg on the set of War Horse Tom Cruise/Mission: Impossible 4, Robert Downey Jr/A Game Of Shadows Have Estimates Revised Upwards: Box Office Despite the presence of Matt Damon and former Woody Allen muse Scarlett Johansson, Cameron Crowe's We Bought a Zoo brought in a revised $9.5m — nearly $2m more than originally estimated — at no. 6 as per studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. Even so, the film's per-theater average was a mere $3,032 at 3,117 locations ($15.6m for the four-day weekend; average $5,005). As mentioned in a previous post, although figures will almost inevitably go up next weekend thanks to the New Year's holiday, We Bought a Zoo will have quite a bit of trouble matching — let alone recovering — its $50m budget domestically. Perhaps it's time for Cameron Crowe to pair up with Tom Cruise (Jerry Maguire, Vanilla Sky) once again. We Bought a Zoo, Crowe's first »

Matt Damon, We Bought a Zoo Tom Cruise/Jeremy Renner/Paula Patton/Mission: Impossible 4 Easily Tops; Steven Spielberg/Jeremy Irvine/War Horse Overperforming?: Box Office Though definitely trailing Tom Cruise/Jeremy Renner/Brad Bird's Mission: Impossible IV – Ghost Protocol and Guy Ritchie/Robert Downey Jr/Jude Law's Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, the David Fincher-directed The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo remake earned only about $300,000 less than Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip-Wrecked in North America this weekend. As per studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo, Fincher's $90-million thriller starring Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig took in $13 million at 2,914 sites, averaging a so-so $4,461 per theater. Its total to date is $21.4 million. In addition to Craig, who hasn't been much of a box-office draw (Cowboys & Aliens, Dream House) when not playing James Bond, and Golden Globe nominee Mara, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo features Christopher Plummer, »

Patrick Fugit, Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson, We Bought a Zoo David Fincher/Rooney Mara/Daniel Craig's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo to Surpass Swedish Original's Total Gross Over One Weekend: Box Office Despite the presence of Matt Damon, one of the most likable actors around, and former Woody Allen muse Scarlett Johansson, on Friday, Dec. 23, the kiddie-oriented We Bought a Zoo brought in a mere $3 million, landing at no. 6 on the North American box-office chart according to early, rough estimates found at both The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline.com. Directed by Cameron Crowe, who has been luckier with Tom Cruise (Jerry Maguire, Vanilla Sky), and distributed by 20th Century Fox, We Bought a Zoo is expected to gross less than $8 million at 3,117 locations over the three-day weekend.

After a seven-year hiatus post-"Elizabethtown," writer/director Cameron Crowe is back in action with his new film "We Bought a Zoo." Based on a true story and the book of the same name, Matt Damon stars as Benjamin Mee, a widower who buys a failing zoo in an attempt to reconnect his family after the death of their mother.
The critical masses always seem eager to offer up opinions on any new Crowe feature, and this time around, the likes have edged out the dislikes, earning the film a "Fresh" rating over at Rotten Tomatoes. Without further ado, let's wander through the "We Bought a Zoo" reviews!

If you're a film nerd, you immediately recognize the name Janusz Kaminski. That's because as the director of photography on The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, War of the Worlds, Jerry Maguire, Saving Private Ryan, Munich, Schindler's List, Catch Me If You Can, and so many other great movies, Kaminski has clearly demonstrated that he's one of the best cinematographers in the world. So when I was offered the chance to interview him at the New York City press junket for director Steven Spielberg's fantastic new movie, War Horse, I jumped at the chance. During the interview he talked about how he picks his projects, if the location where a movie is being made influences him, his thoughts on film vs. digital, the difficulty of setting up a scene when a horse is a major character, and I tried to get him to talk about Lincoln. However, while he wouldn't say much on Lincoln, »

Cameron Crowe is one of those Hollywood directors whose body of work and reputation as a filmmaker have long had actors and studios alike lining up to work with him. Crowe's impressive filmography includes cinema staples like "Say Anything," "Almost Famous" and "Jerry Maguire," and he's aiming to add to that illustrious list with "We Bought a Zoo," starring Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson.
When MTV News caught up with Damon recently to discuss "Zoo" (opening in wide release on Friday), we first had to touch on which Crowe classic is his favorite ... since everyone has one.

Jay Mohr gets stuck doing a lot of crap. While he does have the occational gem on his resume, like the cancelled-too-soon TV show Action, Go, and Jerry Maguire, most of his career has been spent doing crappy movies and short-lived sitcoms. He has talent but rarely gets the opportunity to show it off. Hopefully Burt Wonderstone can do something to buck that trend. The Wrap has learned that Mohr has signed on to star in the Don Scardino-directed magician comedy. In the film, Steve Carrell plays the titular aging slight of hand artist, who sees his career and passion for magic fade when his partner is killed in a dangerous stunt. Coming back from the brink, though, requires him to outperform a rival flashy illusionist. The film already has an amazing supporting cast that includes Jim Carrey, Olivia Wilde, Brad Garrett, Steve Buscemi , and James Gandolfini. In the movie, »

Just when you suspect he's completely vanished from the face of the Earth, TheWrap reports that Jay Mohr will be appearing in Steve Carell's Burt Wonderstone. As they report, he'll play "Rick the Implausible, a magician," a role that puts him in the company of Jim Carrey, Olivia Wilde, Steve Buscemi, James Gandolfini, and Brad Garrett; Don Scardino will direct
Written by John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein — along with a little polish from Jason Reitman — the film centers on "a more traditional magic man (Carell) who is dethroned by a hipper illusionist (Carrey) doing dangerous tricks and breaks up with his partner then must find a way to rediscover his love for magic." TheWrap goes against the grain by saying that he actually "dies in a risky stunt," but nobody's losing sleep over the specifics.

"We Bought A Zoo" is the kind of title movie executives dream of, because it's funny, it's a plot summary, and it's an actual line in the movie. Forget 30-second TV ads -- the title (and Matt Damon's name) basically sell the film.
Good thing, too, because after a six-year post-"Elizabethtown" hiatus, writer-director Cameron Crowe could use a surefire hit. The man who gave us "Jerry Maguire" and "Almost Famous" can certainly navigate audiences through the tearjerking dramedy of a recently widowed man who takes his two children on the adventure of becoming animal caretakers, all while ogling Scarlett Johansson. He's got the heart of a lion, he does.

Want to see Beckham bend it on the big screen? Tom Cruise is on the case.
At the "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" premiere, Cruise told The Daily Mirror that he wants to take on Hollywood with the soccer legend.
"I'd love to do action movies with Beckham, he would be great," Cruise said. "He could kick ass." This isn't the first time Cruise has gotten this idea in his head: he has previously mentioned Beckham "would make a great baddie," but said that if he helped push along Beckham's acting career the favor would come with strings attached. "David would have to teach me to play soccer first," he joked.
Cruise and his wife Katie Holmes have been close with Beckham and wife Victoria since 2003 when Holmes and Cruise greeted the British couple with open arms when they came to Los Angeles, and their bond was strengthened when Cruise sent »

Review in a Hurry: Writer-director Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire) buys a zoo and let's Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson run it! Very much the kind of film that plays during the holiday season—although not directly linked to Christmas—the whole look and feel is warm, and sure, a bit overly sentimental. But the strong performances and Crowe's deft touch keep you invested, even if those that oppose the zoo will induce much rolling of the eyes. The Bigger Picture: Based on the true story of Benjamin Mee (Damon), a recently widowed husband with two kids who leaves Los Angeles to purchase 18 acres that included a big house and the Rosemoor Animal Park. Crowe's films might vary in subject matter—a »

It's probably not hard to imagine director Cameron Crowe would be such a cool guy. After all, when you have so many beloved classics, including Say Anything... , Almost Famous and Jerry Maguire , under your belt, you figure the guy who wrote and directed those movies, a former music journalist who has interviewed many rock legends, has to tap into something within himself to create such personal work that resonates with so many people. After laying low for a number of years, Crowe is back with We Bought a Zoo , an adaptation of Benjamin Mee's bestselling memoir of the same name, co-written by Aline Brosh McKenna ( The Devil Wears Prada ) and starring Matt Damon as Mee, a single father of two kids who buys a large house that happens to be on the grounds of a rundown zoo.

Windows 7 Backup
hey, i hope you can help me...
i switched to windows 7 directly from xp, so i skipped vista and am now for the first time equipped with a build-in backup utility. which i am using regularly. i've got roundabout 250gb of data to be backed up, audio, video, pictures and books, most of which don't change much. the first backup session (on may 7th) to my external usb-harddrive took nearly 24h; pretty long, but i guessed for the first time ok. the next few backups were pretty fast, only around 20 mins, since i didn't change much of my data. but: sice may 18th, every time i start backup it takes forever, and when i abort it and look into the details, it started a completely new backup. i do have no idea why this happened, but is there any way i can get it to just update the older backup files? i don't see the necessity to let my computer and my external harddrive run for multiple hours... |

22 May 2009 | #2 |
Some of these tutorials may help. Windows 7 has pretty good compression. I would just duplicate your files and then make an image once a month and you'll be fine.
It will say it needs a lot of room but will not use it. I think my 130 GB back up and made it 59GB as I recall. Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup[2]=Backup%20Restore |

thanks for the quick answer.
obviously i haven't made myself clear enough... this is not a room problem at all, i've got a 1tb external drive, that should be enough for the moment. what annoyes me is that the backup utility doesn't update the existing data backup, but instead starts all over new again, copying all the files again. which takes literally days. |

Hi there
consider using a commercial backup solution such as acronis true image. It doesn't cost a lot and can also do "Incremental" backups as well as full backups. This means that you just backup data changes since the last backup. cheers jimbo |

22 May 2009 | #5 |
Acronis True Image Home 2009 is pretty slick. Many customizable features. Highly recommended.
Initial complete system image backup of my ~110 gb W7 installation to a 1.5 TB external USB drive took about 2 hours. Used about 87 gb on "normal" compression mode. Will be doing subsequent incremental backups on a weekly basis. Acronis TIH also has a disk clone utility and I also make weekly or bi weekly clones of my primary laptop drive. Nothing easier than swapping in a recent clone if disaster strikes. |
My System Specs |
23 May 2009 | #6 |
thanks for the suggestions...
but my main question remains: i thought windows 7 does do incremental backups, just like apple time machine does? am i wrong here? |
My System Specs |
23 May 2009 | #7 |
But as stated above by everyone else here I also use Acronis True Image as it's the best & fastest backup system I've ever used! This is why everyone uses it! I've been using Acronis now for the last 5 years & they have never failed me! Best of all, is my average backup is only 7.6Gbs & this is a complete OS partition backup with all the crucial programs & files I need to put everything back to working order which btw takes all of 6 minutes! Because the compression ratio is so good with Acronis you can afford to have multiple redundant backups of your system. I have 3 at all times & do daily backups of my system which takes 5 minutes for a Complete backup. Kicks butt on the W7 backup system on speed, space & time. |
My System Specs |
23 May 2009 | #8 |
Another vote for Acronis

23 May 2009 | #9 |
Yet another vote for Acronis
It has saved my bacon many times. It is quick and simple to restore a backup from Acronis, and it works every time. I am running XP and Win 7 RC1 on two partitions and back up both with Acronis.
No worries. |

23 May 2009 | #10 |
If you do decide to go for the Acronis - watch out for the Disk Selector
http://www.sevenforums.com/software/...-director.html If you have a Seagate or Maxtor drive, there is a version of ATI 11 available thru Seagate - see if you like it first. DiscWizard | Seagate I much prefer Paragon - they have a Drive Backup app. - superb and cheaper than Acronis. They also have Hard Disk Manager - the best partitioning tools available included with the imaging program - for about the same as Acronis. Paragon Software - hard disk partitioning, drive backup, hard disk management, system performance optimizing The free version Paragon do is very limited , tho. - you might try a trial version. There is also Macrium Reflect - no partitiong tools included, pure imaging. It is the fastest and smallest ( about 25 mb) you can get. There is a free version ( the free one images drives/partitions and allows scheduling and mounting to retrieve individual files). The paid version does a whole lot more of course and is a bargain. Free version available here: Macrium Reflect FREE Edition - Information and download Hope it helps |

The 135th annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show kicked off on Valentine's Day 2011, in New York City's Madison Square Garden. Nearly 2,600 dogs from nearly 180 breeds filled the arena over two nights, with one single doggie (the Scottish deerhound) eventually being chosen Best in Show.
The Westminster Dog Show was the first-ever such show in America, starting way back when your great-great-grandfather was in his diapers, or something like that. It is the nation's 2nd longest running sporting event, right after the Kentucky Derby.
Please enjoy our slideshow of photos from the 2011 Westminster Dog Show.

New Bill Proposed Today May Increase the 500-Shareholder Rule to 2,000. You're Welcome, Facebook!
Apparently, the time is nigh to stop complaining about the 500-shareholder rule and start legislating against it. Fortune.com's Dan Primack reports that Senators Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) and Tom Carper (D-Del.) introduced new bill today "that would effectively eliminate a rule that many have cited as the reason Facebook may go public next year."
Prevailing rules stipulate that after hitting 500 shareholders, private companies have to disclose significant financial data. It goes into such detail that most private companies, like Google back in 2004, opt to just go public.
Today's legislation is a different bill than the one put forth back in June, which proposed amending the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to accommodate 1,000 stake holders. Rather, the newer bill would increase the limit from 500 to 2,000 and exempt employees from counting towards that threshold (although accredited investors would count towards the total). Currently, employees with stock options are exempt, but actual stock received as compensation is counted. Read More

Eddie Cibrian isn't the only Hollywood hunk Brandi Glanville has spent time with between the sheets -- and last night, she revealed another hot hookup on "Watch What Happens Live!"
Glanville finally confirmed rumors she and Gerard Butler got down over the summer, telling Andy Cohen they had "a week of fun" together last year and rated his performance an "11" out of 10.
Butler has a reputation for getting around -- and has been linked with stars like Jessica Biel, Olivia Wilde, Ashley Green, Mila Kunis and even Ashley Olsen in the past.
Check out Brandi's reveal above.
Tinalouise: 1100 days ago
She's pretty but looks too skinny here, way too skinny. Good for her though for the obvious upgrade with Gerard Butler. I just wish she didn't act so skanky and swear so much.
Jenni: 1100 days ago
Got to admire someone who can keep her head together and stay focused on her children while her husband leaves her for the uggliest female country music star around. Brandi= 1000x hotter than LeAnn Rimes!
dre: 1100 days ago
I dont care for BG - sorry, but I dont find her attractive at all. She gangly thin, kinda like a tall boy basketball player, her face is not pretty and her mouth is simply not attractive. And I do think shes quite the easy piece. Eddie seems happier with out her.
Isabel Lazo: 1100 days ago
I like her waay better than ms homewrecker ugly looking LeAnn Rhymes...
Stanley: 1100 days ago
Good for her! Obviously a gian leap up from that D lister Eddie Cibrian. Gerard is much hotter too! Funny, her husband picks the ugliest woman on earth to cheat with and marries the fug country singer while Brandi finds one of the hottest men on the planet to hook up with! Good for her! You go girl! Leave those fuglies to your ex-husband Eddie!
Meems: 1100 days ago
While I think she's better off without Eddie, she's not looking so classy talking about all her hook ups and seeming kind of slutty... She's better looking than Leann by a long shot, and Leann seems to try to be turning into Brandi. I'm not saying don't hook up, gir you get yours, BUT I am saying be classy and don't advertise it.
lady: 1098 days ago
This girl has some bigtime problems! So glad her husband left her for a real woman and someone has to be there for there son. She is so skanky looking and paws all over married men, drinks to much along with that potty mouth. Not attractive at all. Cant believe they keep her on the show. How embarrassing for her child.
en Todo Momento!!: 1097 days ago
dang. i know he sure licked them legs!!! jeeeezus!
Cindy: 1086 days ago
No doubt guilt and the scorn of the entire country has contributed to Leeann being rail thin. I agree with the poster who said she's trying to look like Brandi. Of course it won't be long 'til Eddie's off with the next woman. Hopefully, he'll pick up a big box of chocolates for Leeann before he hops on his freshly-tired motorcycle and rides into the sunset. After all, Leeann, in the immortal words of Forrest Gump, "Ya never know whatchergonnaget." In this case, Eddie's departure is an almost guaranteed certainty!

What Would It Look Like If Danny Trejo Were in the Band Train?
Do you think Danny Trejo thought he was auditioning for Snowpiercer, a movie about a train, when he was actually auditioning to lip-synch a Train song in a Train music video? I know that's a stretch, but I really can't think of a better explanation as to why I'm sitting here watching Danny Trejo lip-synch these Train lyrics. (Also, is there not a more Train-sounding song title than "Angel in Blue Jeans"?)

How much do some of the U.S. military's programs truly cost?
Propublica has created an infographic which documents the numbers behind the most expensive fighter jet currently in existence, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
The original design was intended to make the jet suitable for multi-purpose use; from night flights to tank destruction, but technical problems have continually hampered the project -- and leeched additional funds from the budget.
See also: Robot hornets become British Army's latest weapon
Billions over budget and years behind schedule, you would think that the Pentagon would consider canning the jet, but it hangs on. So far, the F-35 program has cost an eye-watering $84 billion, which is twice what the U.S. Defense Department is required to cut from the 2013 fiscal budget of $549 billion.
It is also important to note, as PopSci reports, that 2,000 people are currently working on the F-35 -- and may be for some time to come unless technical and supply demands are solved. But is this really the right time to spend so much on a project fraught with failure, as the economy continues to struggle?
So, where does all that money go? Check out the infographic below:

Tipoff: With primary next week, campaigns buy more TV time.
Monthly Archives: May 2010
Foreclosures slowing
While the number of foreclosures in the San Fernando Valley jumped in April compared with a year ago, the number of homeowners behind on their mortgage payments slowed dramatically, a research center said Friday. Gregory J Wilcox in the Daily News.
The 53 percent decrease in the number of default notices – the first step in the foreclosure process – bodes well for the immediate future of the local real-estate market, indicating fewer foreclosures are likely in coming months, experts said.
"I like these numbers. They are moving down nicely," said economist William Roberts, director of the San Fernando Valley Economic Research Center at California State University, Northridge. "In the last four to six months it's looked good."
Environmental Affairs eliminated
Hoping to save nearly $1 million a year, the Los Angeles City Council on Friday gave preliminary approval to close the Environmental Affairs Department, insisting the move would not reduce the city's commitment to environmental protection. Daily News.
The council voted 10-0 to close the department, with a final vote scheduled for next Tuesday.
The agency, created by former Mayor Tom Bradley to oversee and champion environmental issues, will see its duties transferred to the Building and Safety, Transportation, Sanitation and Mayor's offices.
Watching community banks
Local leaders, residents and housing activists launched a campaign Thursday to crack down on foreclosed homes that have been allowed to deteriorate and blight their communities.Tony Castro in the Daily News.
They vowed to press authorities to enforce a new city law that would impose a $1,000-a-day fine on banks and other lenders that allow foreclosed properties to fall into disrepair.
"We are here to let the community know that they have this important tool to use against the banks," City Councilman Richard Alarc n told a news conference in front of a Pacoima home that was taken over by gang members after the bank foreclosed on the property earlier this year.
County Republicans take dispute to court
The leadership of the Los Angeles County Republican Party faces a challenge in court today as a group of self-proclaimed Tea Party activists ask a judge to install them on the county committee, effectively giving them control of the organization.Trou Anderson in the Daily News.
The seven activists claim they were fairly elected to the seven-member county executive committee last year, but promptly kicked off by the California Republican Party in a move that they say violated party bylaws.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Solner is supposed to decide today whether to dismiss the lawsuit or issue an injunction blocking current county Republican officials from representing themselves as the valid leaders of the local party.
Jury gives cop $2 mlllion in firing dispute
An LAPD motorcycle officer whose ongoing dispute with his superior snowballed after he was punished for clocking out five minutes early one day has been awarded $2 million from a jury who believed his subsequent firing was unfair.Daily News.
Officer Richard Joaquin has been reinstated with back pay and is now stationed at the Los Angeles Police Department's Valley Traffic Division.
Joaquin's jury award on May 20 surpassed the $1.5 million settlement the city paid in 2007 to black firefighter Tennie Pierce, who sued for racial discrimination when colleagues put dog food in his spaghetti as a prank.
LAUSD rescincs 522 layoffs
The Los Angeles Unified school board Tuesday unanimously approved rescinding 522 layoff notices for elementary school teachers. Connie Llanos in the Daiily News.
The move drops the number of overall expected layoffs next year to about 1,000 – down from the initial decision earlier this year to send layoff notices to nearly 3,100 teachers, administrators, nurses, librarians and counselors.
The number could be further reduced as officials continue to look for additional funding sources and savings
Bradley Terminal makeover complete
After touching down at Los Angeles International Airport, airline passengers from around the world stroll beneath a circle of white lights that mimic a halo, a subtle welcome to the City of Angels. Art Marroquin in the Daily News.
Gone are the stained walls, confusing signs and poor lighting that evoked an overall feeling of gloom inside the old Tom Bradley International Terminal.
Now, walls are illuminated by glass panels of brightly colored lights and time-lapse video artwork. Curved metallic ceiling panels resemble waves from the nearby Pacific Ocean. Bright blue signs and digital screens guide travelers through the roomy arrival hall of the renovated terminal.
Cardenas in D.C. to testify on Youth Protection Act
Councilman Tony Cardenas will be in Washington D.C., on Wednesday to tsetify on behalf of the Youth Promise Act., a measure introduced at his request to improve gang intervention and prevention programs.
As part of his testimony, Cardenas is releasing a video prepared by his office that features celebrities such as Robin Wrigh, Jim Brown, Russell Simmons and others talking about the importance of the measure.
Last year, the Los Angeles City Council unanimously approved a Cardenas measure in support of the measure, which wiill make more funding availbable for anti-gang programs.
Cardenas and his staff filmed the video that features celebrities who, "firsthand, know the power of second chances."
The video is available at www.youthpromiseaction.org
Charter schools seek better campuses
The California Charter School Association filed a lawsuit today against the Los Angeles Unified School District, in an effort to gain better access to public school campuses.Connie Llanos in the Daily News.
The latest legal claim comes two years after both organizations settled a lawsuit intended to give the publicly-funded and independently run schools more access to district campuses.
According to the charter association's interpretation of Proposition 39, LAUSD officials have a legal obligation to offer space to all charter schools that request it.

(NO?) Strings Attached:Female guitarists in contemporary music (Released July 2009)
Musical trailblazers can be called pioneers for any number of reasons, and Ani DiFranco (born Angela Maria DiFranco, 1970) is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and guitarist, who is widely-and most importantly--celebrated as a feminist icon. (It is for this reason she is listed here ahead of other women, who were more noted for guitar skill). The Buffalo, New York musician is also known for starting her own record company in 1989, Righteous Records (renamed Righteous Babe Records in 1994). While her strongly political lyrics, also often controversial and socially observant, are her most identifiable and discussed traits, DiFranco's guitar style is also critically acclaimed. On over 15 studio and nearly an equal number of live albums, her guitar style has been characterized as staccato and percussive, combined with rapid fingerpicking while utilizing numerous alternative (open) tunings. (27)
While pioneers may assist future generations by "blazing trails", fame and becoming a household name also provides a path for those who aspire to success in that same field. Bonnie Raitt and Joni Mitchell, both considered icons in music, could be said to have paved the way for DiFranco and others like her.
Born into a musical family, Raitt is the daughter of Broadway singer John Raitt and pianist-singer Marge Goddard. With her background and upbringing in Los Angeles, California, in a climate of respect for the arts, Quaker beliefs and social activism, Raitt has observed these ideals throughout her life and made them part of her performance and recording career. She committed herself to full-time music after three years in college, soon finding herself immersed in blues as she learned from the blues legends of her day-some of whom were quite elderly by that time. In between sessions, Raitt has continued to devote her voice and celebrity to an array of causes (peace, social issues, safe energy, the environment and women's rights). She continues to use her influence to affect the way music is perceived and appreciated around the world-including a mid-1990s initiative with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America to encourage underprivileged youth to play music. Raitt has won multiple Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.
Another artist who has influenced countless musicians as a female guitarist is the Canadian singer and songwriter Joni Mitchell (b. Roberta Joan Anderson in 1943). Beginning as a key part of the folk rock movement sweeping the musical landscape, once she settled in California in the late 1960s (29), Mitchell's guitar-and even piano-arrangements were seen as intelligent and complex. She was influenced by jazz while melding her style with pop, folk and rock on several of her earlier albums (30).
In a 2002 interview with "Rolling Stone" magazine, Mitchell-following a lengthy career-stated she would make her final album due to her disgust with the music industry. She expressed her desire for more control over the content and distribution of her music. (31) And in fact, her recordings were infrequent and sporadic after that time. Her last recording was in 2007, titled "Shine" (32) released on Starbucks' Hear Music Label.
Guitar skill, however, is arguably Mitchell's most lasting influence, notably due to her complex arrangements and penchant for open (non-standard) tuning. She was harmonically highly innovative in her early work (1966-1972) and used a variety of techniques. (33). Mitchell's music was originally considered to be folk, but after her initial success she began to grow in a jazz direction. Her collaboration with saxophonist and band leader Tom Scott produced the album "Court and Spark," one of the most popular and influential jazz-influenced albums of all time. Mitchell worked closely with jazz great Charles Mingus on his last project. She did several albums with jazz bass player Jaco Pastorius, and several more with her second husband, musician and sound engineer Larry Klein.
Mitchell's guitar and songwriting influenced numerous songwriters who followed, including Prince, Elvis Costello, George Michael, Madonna, Sheryl Crow, Morissey, Seal, Beck, Cassandra Wilson, Diana Krall and a great many others.
Mitchell was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.

DH can't resist a bargain on "cases" of food and I usually cook fresh or frozen vegetables, not canned. |

Wrong forum. Again. I've officially lost my mind. LOL |
Wondering....did you mean to post that on the Antiques and Collectables forum... Linda C...DARFC |
Next time take them directly to the Food Bank, that way they won't clutter up your pantry and won't expire before they are eaten. My dad used to do that, and they'd have rows of canned peas with dates on top in maker. I couldn't swallow a canned pea if it was the last bit of food on earth. |

Summer's Moon Review
A family of serial killers stalk a young woman out to find the father she's never known.
Not being a fan of Twilight I didn't really care Ashley Greene starred in this, but after watching the film I was pleasantly surprised with the film and Ashley Greene's performance. The film itself isn't too scary, but it is very creepy in a weird sense. You will feel grossed out at certain parts and just the whole strange energy from the family of serial killers with definitely creep you out. The father of the serial killers performance was much better than the rest of them, but they all worked well together. Some of the supporting acting wasn't too great, but at the same time it added to the small town feel.
The plot is pretty straight forward, but they throw a few things in there to keep you on your toes and interested. With most horror movies, I wasn't really impressed by the ending and I'm not sure if there is one, and I won't post any spoilders, but it definitely felt like there should be an alternate ending. Still Summer's Moon (Which might also go by Summer's Blood) was a good suspense thriller and whether you are a fan of Ashley Greene or not you should enjoy this creepy film.

cab | From Picnic Area Date Climbed: Apr 14, 2013 | |
The roads on the map do not correspond to what is actually there, but using GPS, we were still able to make it to the picnic grounds in the dark. We had a hard time making sense of the DPS hiking directions, but as long as you get to the correct notch in the cliffs, it doesn't really matter which ridge or gully you take up to that point. Nice views from the summit. | ||

jdmorehouse | Short but Steep Date Climbed: Mar 31, 2013 | |
Hiked up from the picnic area following the ridge line to the left of the wash to the cliff bands. My partner wasn't feeling sturdy and decided to wait at the base of the Class 3 climb to the summit ridge. I made it up and back down in a short amount of time, not wanting to keep her waiting too long. We then drove on to Teutonia for a nice class 3+ scramble to the top of the granite out croppings there. A great way to end the month. | ||

Been to this picnic area a few times and climbed once, simply outstanding views from the summit in every direction.

Did this hike with 2 Canadian Hiker friends (Bob Spirko and Dinah). They attempted this hike previously without any beta and turn around at the class 3 spot since they didn't know that was the right route or not. Anyway, to getting picnic area was little bit challenging since this area is currently under construction of huge water reservoir. It is around the 'Tailings' in the map. The temporally dart road goes around the water reservoir and connect to the old road on the 'wash'. You can check the current dart road to the picnic area from here. The hike was nice. Most part was class 2 and few class 3 spot. The class 3 spot described as '20 feet' was actually about 40 feet. I used the webbing for safety. There is an anchor near the top of the class 3 section. The view from the peak was fantastic and hike was fun. Yet, I didn't see many sign in at the peak register. Here is my hiking album | ||

Tracy | helped a hiking buddy Date Climbed: May 26, 2011 | |
I didn't bag the peak. I hiked up to assist a hiking buddy who had taken a bad fall the day before. He was awaiting a helicopter evacuation (which occurred while I was there) from the bottom of the headwall just south of the ridge, east of the cliff band. I was able to see him off as he was hoisted up to the helicopter. I then hiked out with 6 BLM fire crew members who had been with him since 2:30 am that morning through a very windy night (gusts up to 80 miles/hour). I drove his vehicle to UMC hospital in Las Vegas for him. | ||

Hit the summit while resampling some Pinus monophylla for a complete chronology. Parked near the end of the road past the picnic area, went up the second gully from the left, and sampled trees all the way to the south ridge. Gained the summit, turned and followed the climber's trail back along the east ridge and down the cliff band. Followed the base of the cliff band, sampling trees back to the truck. Still a great peak! | ||

Climbed via the beautiful north ridge. Very steep coming out of the "cirque" type formation on the north side, then some wonderful scrambling. Very spicy coming down the east side of the summit, and then steep as hell back into the "cirque". The White Fir are incredible!! | ||

Quicker than I expected, and colder. Lost a bit of time attempting to head directly up the wash, but decided that 5th class moves on questionable rock 100 feet off the deck wasn't for me that day. The knife edge was fun on the way down. | ||

Quick ascent/descent. A bit of class 3 on the ridge, guess I didn't know the cliff headwall was the primary way up. I wandered up and back along the base of the cliff instead. Trip Report | ||

Clark Mt May/05 For the hike, we basically took the "southeast ridge" route. However, we didn't take the traditional "class 3" section on descent; instead we just went down the knife edge. The latter route is composed of good, frictional rock... but may be a bit tough on those who don't like exposure. Personally, I don't like loose rock (I have three scarred fingers to help exlain why), so I didn't want to descend the DPS class 3 route. As for the road in: the map posted May 11, 2005 by ScottyS is good. Three people rode up to the picnic grounds in my Subaru Outback, but I had to watch clearance, and did bottom out a few times. Whatever you do, DON'T take the powerline road described in the older DPS notes (it's supposed to go by the substation). There is a road just a bit to the east that is MUCH better. | ||

The drive to the picnic area went well, though as of Jan 3rd I would say the end of the road(after you leave the wash) is too rough for a LC 2WD, unless you want to scrape the crap out of your car. Followed the wash til the end, then took a straight line up to the cliffs, this route was loose and brushy, not recommended. Accidentally climbed a chute in the middle of the knife-edge E ridge, then scrambled along for a hundred feet or so. Straight forward after that, took the easy C3 gulley down. Car-car in just over 2h, a nice break during the drive from Cali->Colorado. | ||

Climbed from the South Side with D Mantle before heading off for New York. The limestone cliffs are amazing! Class 3 headwall felt more like class 2. Very little brush, wind, and overall very pleasant. Fantastic 100 sq mi views across the desert. | ||

Matthew Holliman | Route Climbed: From the SE Date Climbed: Nov 27, 2005 | |
Headed up here on my way back to the Bay Area from Las Vegas, the final peak on a thoroughly enjoyable ten day tour of southern NV/UT. This was a spur-of-the-moment decision, so I had only the DPS guide with me for beta. The crux is finding the TH, as the DPS directions are rather outdated now. (I posted updated directions, including GPS waypoints, on the main page: link). After thoroughly exploring the labyrinth of dirt roads around the mountain, I eventually went up via the standard DPS route, and was rather amused to find a rappel sling above the third class section (?!). On the descent, rather than returning via the headwall, I continued following the east ridge down to a very short, very easy downclimb to the easy slopes below the cliffs, then headed right to rejoin my ascent route. I highly recommend this variation--it's a great, airy little knife edge, with some of the best 3rd class I've found on a desert peak yet. Very enjoyable. Might even be easier than downclimbing the headwall, too. Stopped at the Mad Greek cafe in Baker for dinner (presumably the best Greek food you'll find in the Mojave desert, but they don't really have the best gyros in the USA as they claim), and ended up stopping and sleeping in my car before Kramer Junction rather than continue fighting the relentless stream of holiday traffic. The drive back from Las Vegas on a Thanksgiving weekend Sunday was pretty brutal... The remainder of the drive on Monday morning was much less stressful. | ||

Recently in the news a lot is being heard on the topic of plus size models hitting the scene in magazines, ads, and on television. There is a debate on what a plus size model is or isn't that is the lively topic of a lot of talk shows and news stories.
Well, I am an expert about being plus size, I have been plus size most of my life, from back when I was a very young age, of 9 I can remember being plus size (for my age). I have struggled with my weight all along and even still today, struggle, but with a mush different optimism in my mind.
You see, I no longer let my weight be the ruler of me. It is what it is and I go on with life. My insides matter most. Yes, people see me and think oh my goodness, look at that fat lady, I am sure of this. And don't get me wrong, I am not happy with my weight, and state of my health, and I think about it a lot. But I do not let it stop me from being who I am and what I do, for the most part.
I used to let it stop me. I used to let people get the best of me when people would call me names all throughout school. These people obviously ONLY could see the outer me and not my beautiful insides. Today more and more people are able to see the REAL me, and accept me for who I am. With more and more people struggling with weight and with obesity being at a very high rate. More and more people are understanding my struggle and going through it as well.
There are a lot of people in fact now that I see who weren't plus size through out school, but I see them now, and they are where I am, so it does catch up to you if your not careful about what you eat and how you exercise (or the lack of).
What I wish people who are debating over all of this what is a good number to call plus size for models. And whether or not there should even be plus size models. What I wish they would go by, is not the number of size, but peoples beauty given to them from a higher power. Their inner beauty. When it comes to age, people often use "age ain't nothing but a number", then why do they have to go by the number when it comes to modeling and size clothing you wear? Why can't models be judged by inner beauty and personality. I understand that it has to do with well, you cannot tell that in pictures. But I believe you can.
If a woman or man is confident, and feels great about themselves, it radiates through and
The beauty shines through. In pictures, in ads, commercials, in everything they do.
It totally shouldn't go by any size. And shame on the modeling companies who do go by size. And a huge HORRAY to the companies who are coming out and seeing the need for the reality of how people really are and the way of the world today. And for taking the initial steps to change these outdated ways of ONLY using a size 4.
If they want to sell clothes or products, a beautiful, voluptuous, self confident woman with graceful curviness and a beautiful smile and the attitude you can pick up from her face with a proudness of flaunting what she has on and looking REAL can totally sell me any day. And if this means she is a size 4, then it is great, but if she is a size 24 this is fantastic to me too.

Continuing Education Units (CEU)
What is a CEU?
A Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is a nationally recognized method of recording participation and quantifying the time spent in non-academic credit education or professional development activities. One CEU is awarded for each 10 hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience.
- Ten hours of instruction = 1.0 CEU
- One hour of instruction = 0.1 CEU
What Courses Qualify for CEUs?
CEUs are awarded for knowledge gained in learning activities that meet sound educational standards, but where grades are not given or depth and breadth are not sufficient for academic credit. CEUs may be awarded for courses that also carry academic credit if the material meets criteria for continuing education units. An individual may not receive both credit and CEUs for the same activity. CEUs can't be applied toward a degree.
CEUs can be awarded for many different formats and learning situations:
- Conferences
- Courses
- Meetings
- Seminars
- Seminars
- Training
- Workshops
Why are CEUs Used?
CEUs show evidence of an active interest in continuing education, your participation in such programs, and training in specialized areas. Employers often look at CEUs as evidence of an employee's knowledge in specialized areas. CEUs are also used for renewing licenses by many licensing boards and professional organizations.

Vicki Maheu resides in Kitsap County, WA and is loving her life homeschooling her children and creating art that reflects the beauty of God's creation and His grace toward humankind. She has always enjoyed drawing in pencil, pastels, oil pastels, and ink, but one day in 2012 she picked up some tubes of acrylic paint, and quickly realized that she had discovered her calling.
Though she enjoys all arts, crafts, and photography, and ardently seeks to capture and portray the beauty surrounding and within her, she recognizes that every work is simply a dim reflection of the true thing, a dim reflection of God's creative powers, hence the name of her gallery, "Ardent Reflections".
While on occasion she will create art that addresses a political or social issue, most of her art is positive, reflecting the beauty of God's creation, the wonder of nature, or the ingenuity and creativity of mankind.

I plan on spending mine sleeping.......lol
I know that nobody wants to think about actually coming home, but after the hype of getting ready for Disney and planning for months, the first day back at home can be a real downer. (kinda like the day after Christmas) What do you do to ease the transition and do you have any tips for making the first day back at home a little special? With all the laundry, schoolwork, and grocery shopping that needs to be done how do you spend your first day back at home??
I plan on spending mine sleeping.......lol
It's a Disney thing. If you understood, your only question would be "can I go?"

I will be catching up with the Kids since they aren't going this trip. Probably give them some presents and sleep. I will probably have to cook too-now that I think of it.
Usually I rest/unpack/go over how much money I spent (I don't go with my parents, I do with my aunt and cousins) but his year, i got back, had to re-wash and pack, and leave for 5 days of Music Camp at The University of South Carolina. That week was actually kind of intense so far as sleep. Anwayway, once i got home from camp I was EXHAUSTED (I kinda fell asleep during rehearsal the day before the concert) but anyway, I slept for 17 hours straight when I got home from camp! I think I woke up once to to go the bathroom...

I say hello to my kitty, unload the car (we normally drive to Florida), take a shower, and got to bed (we normally get home later on in the evening).
Unpacking the souvenirs and uploading the pictures from the digital camera (or bringing the film to get developed) are usually top priorities the first day home. Also, we watch any movies we took, 'just to be sure they came out ok'. Then comes the mountain of laundry.

Usually we have to make the trip up North to pick up the dog who stays with Grandma and Grandpa then once we are back home I look through all the digital pictures we took and start planning how and what I am going to use in my scrapbooks! We also usually watch the video taken during our trip ASAP and frequently after that to hold us over until our next trip!
It ease the Post Disney Blues we start planning our next trip! This is usually heavy discussion for a couple of days and then life starts taking back it's space in our day to day talks. We also develop pictures and watch any videos we may have taken after putting away clothes and we have one last meal out (Usually pizza) to finalize our return home.

I look over all my goodies that I have brought home... Print all the digital pics I took.. put them in a photo album.. visit friends and family to share our adventure and recapture the magical moments I just had..
I like to start work on my trip report so that I can replay all of the trip in my head.
The best way to deal with is to too start planning for your next trip!!!
However, before I do that I will download all my digital pics (which will now include DWT, which will take several days or weeks) and transfer my videos to DVD. I will sort thru all the souvenirs and get them organized. Next, I will logon to DWT and write my trip report, which should take several hours, or days. Finally, if it's Tuesday, or Thursday I will join DWT chat and tell all my fellow Team Members what a great time I had, and how the DW still wants to go to Branson.

Once again this week, Stacy Lewis is carrying the banner as the hottest golfer on the LPGA and the top American. Additionally, she will be hometown favorite for the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship Presented by P&G.
Lewis is riding a huge wave of success with two wins and five top-10 finishes among her last five starts. That has moved her to first in the Rolex LPGA Player of the Year standings, ahead of Yani Tseng, the world's top-ranked player. Lewis is also second behind Tseng in the Rolex Women's World Rankings.
"I'm pretty excited; it's going to be a busy week, but I love getting back home and playing in front of my family and friends, who will all be there," Lewis said. "It's such a fun week for me. I was talking to (caddie) Travis (Wilson), every year we go back, it gets better and better and it's crazier and crazier, so it's no telling what it's going to be like."
Lewis graduated from the University of Arkansas, which is located in Fayetteville, about 30 minutes south of Rogers and Pinnacle Country Club. The native Texan made her debut at Pinnacle Country Club in 2007 when she was a senior on the Lady Razorbacks' golf team. She shot a first-round 65 to take the lead, then massive rains came and the tournament became an 18-hole event, with Lewis declared the unofficial winner. In four starts at Pinnacle, Lewis has recorded nine of 13 rounds in the 60s and had a best "official" finish of a tie for eighth last season when she opened with a 66.
Another local connection for Lewis was announced a few weeks ago when her sponsor, KPMG, was named as the title sponsor for the KPMG Stacy Lewis Junior Open, an American Junior Golf Association event for boys and girls scheduled for July 2-5 in Bella Vista, Ark., near the northern Arkansas border with Missouri.
Then this week, Lewis gave $100,000 to the University of Arkansas women's golf program, with a focus on expanding the team's training facility. With her gift, Lewis became the first female member of the Razorback Foundation's Century Circle.
Surely, Lewis will also be eyeing another first-time occurrence this week. No American has won the Walmart NW Arkansas tournament since the first event in 2007 was washed out. South Koreans Seon Hwa Lee and Jiyai Shin won in 2008 and 2009 and Taiwan's Tseng has captured the last two.Topics: Stats and Stuff, Lewis, Stacy, Walmart NW Arkansas Championship

Old socialist coot Ed Asner asks Fox News reporter to uriniate on him after being confronted over California Federation of Teachers video
How old is Ed Asner? The socialist old coot was old back in the 70's on the Mary Tyler Moore show for goodness sakes. The old washed up coot is still around, doing god knows what besides narrating propaganda videos for kids showing rich people peeing on the poor. When confronted by Fox News, Asner was sarcastic, suddenly couldn't remember what he said, and asked the reporter to pee on him. That's how these old socialists roll.

Mark L. Belletini
For religion to be significant, it has to provide more than the comforts of community. It also had to provide opportunities for deepening, for what I call spiritual growth, and for the casting down of false images of stereotypes, which hurts us all. A good religion has to open us to the real diversity of our modern world. For our work as liberal religious people is not to be competitive with others, and to find ways to supersede others, but rather to find ways to supersede ourselves, to grow beyond our limitations and our constrictive boundaries, each and every one of us. Diversity, you see, must not end up being some sort of feel good slogan, a word we keep in our back pocket to make us feel like we're broad minded. Diversity is a gift. But it cannot be a gift... unless it is received. It is only received when there are hands and hearts open enough to receive it. And the opening of fists into welcoming hands and welcoming hearts is our spiritual work....

Neighbors deal with messy aftermath of home foreclosure
It turns out the house was bought by an investment company, and company officials promise fast action, even with a mess this big.
"We can get this cleaned up in one day," Preet Bhathal told Eyewitness News on Monday. He said this was the deadline for the current residents to be out of the house, and his company will now move quickly.
The small, white house is in the 3100 block of Apollo Street in northeast Bakersfield. Several large piles of stuff sit on the driveway.
"All of the trash blowing down the street, every day we're out here picking up the trash," neighbor Mark Abonnel said. "And the kids coming and going through the trash right now. You don't want any kids getting anything from it."
Neighbor Steve Carpenter has similar concerns. "It brings down the neighborhood," he said. "It's just really bad. A huge eyesore."
Both men said things have gotten much worse in the past couple months, and they don't know why. They also don't know the people who lived there, but assumed the house had gone into foreclosure.
Eyewitness News checked with county records, and found the bank-owned house had just been purchased by a AP Real Estate Holdings. It's a local company, spokesman Preet Bhathal said.
"We were aware people weren't taking care of the property," Bhathal said. He said the company bought this property at a trustee auction almost two months ago. Bhathal said since that time, the company's had to work through the eviction process -- which can take 45 days or more.
He said AP Real Estate took possession of the house on October 1, and the current residents had 15 days to remove their possessions. That meant Monday was the first day his company could take any action about the huge mess.
Bhathal met with the concerned neighbors, and told Eyewitness News his company's ready to start fixing up the house.
"We're hoping tomorrow we're going to get our people in here and get all the trash hauled away," Bhathal said Monday afternoon.
About 30 minutes earlier, a car had stopped in front of the house. A woman went into the garage, but left without taking anything. The woman and the man driving wouldn't answer a reporter's questions.
Neighbors believed all the stuff on the driveway had come out of the house. Bhathal took a reporter inside, and said most of the rooms had been packed to the ceiling. But, he said the house could be renovated fairly quickly.
His company fixes up foreclosed houses for re-sale, and they get them "FHA ready," but it doesn't take that long. "At least usually three weeks," Bhathal said. "And depending on the conditions, sometimes it takes $10,000 to $15,000."
Bhathal said his company flips houses, and sells them to first-time home-buyers. He said it's a good strategy for investors.
"Comparatively, it's providing comparable returns, similar to if you were to invest in the stock market or if you were to buy rentals," Bhathal said. He added his company started up two years ago, and there are other similar businesses in the area.
Bhathal said Bakersfield Code Enforcement is aware of the conditions at the house, and his company will work with city officials.
But, it turns out code officers are also working on a similar situation at the house right next door. Neighbors had photos of piles of junk in that driveway, but said on Monday morning somebody showed up and tossed the stuff over the wall onto the driveway of the house AP Real Estate has just purchased.
"I'm not aware of that situation," Bhathal said. Eyewitness News talked to a man in front of that house, who was watering with a garden hose. He said he had no information on what was happening there, and a reporter asked him to contact the home-owner. So far we haven't heard back.
Eyewitness News will keep checking with code enforcement on that situation, and check back with Bhathal about it.
Bhathal promised to work on cleaning up the property they acquired, and hoped the neighbors will work with his company. "It helps when the neighbors really are taking an interest," Bhathal said. "It helps everyone."

On the Asia leg of his tour to promote Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol this December, Tom Cruise may actually wow Indians by saying namaste. We hear his Indian co-star and Bollywood superstar Anil Kapoor has taught the Hollywood heavyweight some words in Hindi.
The Indian actor and his western counterpart have been bonding big time. From the beginning of the shoot, Tom Cruise has been tweeting about India and his interest in the Hindi language.
When Tom learned from the foreign studio that he will be required to make a trip to India in December, he began bombarding Anil with questions; seeking help on how to plan his itinerary. Says our source, "On one hand Tom Cruise's itinerary is the most well-guarded secret. To keep the paparazzi at bay, only a select few have details about his flight and the hotel where his entourage will be put up. The foreign studio making the arrangements has instructed everyone concerned to sign an NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement). Tom who is now good friends with Anil is letting him know every minute detail."
