Terry Gilliam Will Return to Sci-Fi with Christoph Waltz and 'The Zero Theorem'
In Development By Scott Beggs on August 14, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIt's been nearly two decades since Terry Gilliam last time traveled into the science fiction world of insanity and Twelve Monkeys. According to /film, it's time to break out the champagne and party hats because Gilliam is heading back into sci-fi territory with his otherwise dormant The Zero Theorem, and he's bringing along Christoph Waltz. That is, as they say, a Bingo. The story focuses on Qohen Leth (who was previously to be played by Billy Bob Thornton), a computer genius working dilligently to solve an impossible theorem. He lives in a 1984-style world where the omniscient Management keeps an eye on everyone. Beyond Leth, there's a love interested looking to virtually hook up and a new friend who builds him a suit that will take an inventory of Leth's soul in order to prove or disprove the theorem. Definitely a Bingo. The good news is that the project is gearing up quickly and attempting to shoot in October. That is, until some terrible force of nature closes down the production as per Gilliam's enemies' contract with the Devil. Let's bask and enjoy this good fortune while it lasts. With a lot of luck, we'll get to see it in 2013.
Watch: 'Sight' Brilliantly Shows Off How Dangerous Google Glasses Might Be
Features By Scott Beggs on August 10, 2012 | Comments (1)Why Watch? By looking into the future that combines Google glasses, our app addiction and a cranial connection to the information superhighway, the team behind Sight has made something that stands out miles above its peers. In it, a program built right into the eyes delivers games and information directly into the visual field – something that one young man takes advantage of while out with a reluctant date. The look is sharp – evoking a world where there's no need for decorations because white space is needed for in-eye displays, but the real reason it works is that there's a brain to go with the story's beauty. It's a terrifying one, questioning a dependence on technology and showcasing what our lack of control might mean. It's as coy as a lamb to the slaughter, with a version of ourselves thrust into a future that comes with cool convenience and unimpeded danger. This is short filmmaking at its best. Hat tip to our own Brian Salisbury for sending it my way. What will it cost you? Only 6 minutes. Skip work. Watch more short films.

Tyler Perry Seems to Think He Can Make a Better Sci-Fi Movie Than 'Prometheus'
Movie News By Scott Beggs on June 28, 2012 | Be the First To CommentSpeaking exclusively with BlackFilm about Madea's Witness Protection, Tyler Perry segued from saying he was disappointed in Prometheus to teasing a science fiction film that he's writing. He declined to say anything specific about it, but it theoretically won't contain any cross-dressing. "I love Sci Fi, I love the Alien movies and the Alien franchise. I was very disappointed with Prometheus, but I love that whole franchise. Those are my favorite movies. I'm actually working on a sci-fi movie right now," said the writer/actor/director. To his credit, this came moments after talking about how The Wiz was the first movie he remembers seeing in theaters, and it caused him to dance all the way home. So, at least we know he's human. On the inhuman front, Perry has been incredibly successful with his Madea franchise, he'll be seen as a thriller star in the upcoming Alex Cross, and apparently he's got a sci-fi flick in the works. Looks like he's definitely branching out. Hopefully he can make a sci-fi film that won't disappoint.
'Looper' International Trailer May Show Us the Best Action Film of the Year
Movie News By Nathan Adams on June 27, 2012 | Comments (2)The first look we got at Rian Johnson's upcoming time travel action yarn, Looper, did a solid job of setting up the story and teasing the action. A curiously lantern-jawed Joseph Gordon-Levitt is playing our hero (or, at least, the closest thing we get to one), a hitman for the mob who gets paid handsomely to wait in a field that exists many years in the past, shoot the people the wise guys send back in time as soon as they wink into existence, and then dispose of the body where no future authorities can find them. The wrinkle comes when his latest clean-up job gets sent back in time and a quick locking of the eyes reveals that he's an equally lantern-jawed version of himself from the future (Bruce Willis). What to do? The new international trailer for the film gives us a bit more of an idea of what is going to be done. Future Gordon-Levitt has come to the past with a plan. And, as you might expect out of a hitman, his plan involves killing someone. Will he be able to set everything right and fix his future, or will his past self – who's going to be in deep trouble if he doesn't take his future self out – stop him before he can put his plan in motion? Lots of interesting questions about destiny and how much we can control our future seem to get asked. But, more importantly, everyone involved is shooting guns […]

With ominous, sweeping shots of a city caged, David Gidali's short shares a bleak look at an Israel of the future where different cultures are kept apart. In the middle of the night, a mysterious event brings two silent figures face to face (without a wall in between them). This is the definition of simple-yet-effective filmmaking.

Watch: The DNA-Bending Sci-Fi Short That's Being Made Into a Feature Film
Features By Scott Beggs on June 22, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhy Watch? There are few things as creepy as British people talking about science, which is just one small reason why Matt Westrup's The Gate is so damned chilling. It features some gruesome creature design and some solid CGI – especially for an independent outfit. Plus, it's based on reality. That's right. Our own DNA is a mysterious, messed-up jungle of unused genes that are waiting to mutate and strike. Enjoy your weekend!

Michael Bay: 'Transformers 4′ to Have Lower Budget, New Direction
Movie News By Scott Beggs on June 22, 2012 | Be the First To CommentOn a gut level, a lower budget seems like it would be the best thing for the next Transformers movie. The franchise has made an absurd amount of money, sure, but the quality of the movies has always been hampered by excess. A little constraint can actually mean a lot of freedom. Of course, the normal laws of physics might not apply to Michael Bay. In an excellent feature by Geoff Boucher at Hero Complex, Bay opens up the new theme park ride alongside someone in a large Bumblebee costume and lays down some notes about the fourth installment (the one which he said he absolutely wouldn't return for before absolutely returning for it). Among the details, a lower budget by $30m. That would bring Transformers 4 down to the earthly range of $165m or so, counteracting the tide of bloated blockbusters that can't seem to nail down two hours worth of action without spending at least $200m. It feels strange to praise Paramount and this franchise for being sensible, but credit should go where credit is due. At the same time, Bay said that the action might take place in outer space. "That feels like the way to go, doesn't it? I want to go a little off but I don't want to go too sci-fi. I still want to keep it grounded.That's what works in these movies, that's what makes it accessible." Of course, no matter where the action is, the true significant change will be the cast.
34 Things We Learned From the 'WALL*E' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Jeremy Kirk on June 21, 2012 | Comments (2)Oh, those geeks and their wonderful ways of storing minuscule tidbits of information and pulling them from their mental storage unit to spur on debates. What must it be like to listen to a group of them talk about a movie they love? How about a movie they've all worked on? That's exactly what Disney and Pixar did for WALL*E. They've pulled four of the geekiest minds on the production crew, minds that would analyze every, minute detail of a film and test it for accuracy, and let them talk all over the film. And, like any good geek conversation, the pop cultural references come with each, nerdy breath. So, without any further ado, it's time to find out what this Geek Squad has to say about WALL*E.

Crawl Inside the Sci-Fi-Curious Mind of Nacho Vigalondo
Features By Scott Beggs on June 13, 2012 | Be the First To CommentLet's face it. When the alien invasion comes (and it will), most of us are going to be useless to help fight them back. We're either going to be hiding or running for our lives into government-run bunkers. Nacho Vigalondo gets this, which is part of the reason why he chose not to focus on the heroes for his latest film, Extraterrestrial. His follow-up to TimeCrimes is a sci-fi flick married to a conversational screwball romantic comedy. He was gracious enough to give us a glimpse of his madcap mind – explaining his love for guilty characters, celebrating Invasion of the Body Snatchers and explaining the connection between his latest movie and the TV show Moonlighting. Extraterrestrial is out Friday, June 15 in select theaters, and you can demand it through Tugg.
Movies to See Before the World Ends: Back to the Future
Apocalypse Soon By Allison Loring on June 8, 2012 | Comments (2)The Mayans, the wise race of ancients who created hot cocoa, set December 21st, 2012 as the end date of their Calendar, which the intelligent and logical amongst us know signifies the day the world will end, presumably at 12:21:12am, Mountain Time. From now until zero date, we will explore the 50 films you need to watch before the entire world perishes. We don't have much time, so be content, be prepared, be entertained. The Film: Back to the Future (1985) The Plot: 1980s styled Michael J. Fox (see: feathered hair, acid washed jeans, high tops) stars as every-kid Marty McFly who accidentally gets sent back to the 1950s via a time-traveling DeLorean invented by his eccentric cohort, Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd, in one of his best scene chewing roles to date.) While going back in time may seem like a cool idea, Marty quickly realizes that altering the past can have serious effects on the future. Finding himself suddenly 30 years in the past, Marty discovers he must keep his now teenage parents' relationship on track or else he will risk erasing his own future. As Doc would say: "Great Scott!"
32 Things We Learned From the 'Alien' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Jeremy Kirk on June 7, 2012 | Comments (3)Prometheus is Ridley Scott's latest magnum opus, a groundbreaking cinematic achievement beyond our wildest imaginations. At least that's what we're all hoping for with the film. At the very least we'll take a return to the sci-fi terror Scott unleashed on audiences earlier in his career, but Prometheus is a film moviegoers all over will be talking about. We'd love to hear Scott talk about it, probably along with screenwriter Damen Lindelof. We'll take Jon Spaihts just because he comes with the package deal, but it'll be a commentary that delves into the depths each man had to go to craft yet another legendary, sci-fi tale. That will be amazing. Anyway, here's the commentary for Alien. Seriously, though. How can you introduce Alien?
'The Twilight Zone' Claims Another Writer
In Development By Scott Beggs on June 7, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAccording to Variety, Matt Reeves's Twilight Zone has captured another writer who is no doubt currently wondering why he's back in Abraham Lincoln's time and unable to convince anyone of the assassination. Jason Rothenberg wrote the original draft, which was tackled by Anthony Peckham (Sherlock Holmes), and now Joby Harold (All You Need is Kill, Awake) will take an ink-filled stab at it. The most fascinating thing about the Warner Bros. project is the idea that Rod Serling's show will essentially be stretched into a feature film. Previous movies based on the iconic television show were serials, and the show itself got paper thin when it tried to fill an hour-long time slot, so two full hours of being in the Zone could be a bigger challenge than most expect. After all, how much clever brow-beating can we handle? The answer to that question lies in watching every episode. Tread carefully, but there's still hope for this project. Despite Hayden Christensen's strange take on playing a motionless guy, Awake was a clever little flick (that Harold also directed). With any luck, his talent will be the final polish it needs to get shoved in front of cameras.
Of the directors we've covered in this feature, Ridley Scott might be the most forward. He's brash an unorthodox, and when speaks, you get the sense that he threw his filter in the trash years ago. At this point, brass buttons are well-deserved. Alien, Blade Runner, Black Rain, Thelma & Louise, Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, Black Hawk Down, and a popcorn bucket-full more prove the man's vision as a storyteller. A movie fan from a young age, Scott first found success as a commercial director. His first flick, The Duelists, was hailed at Cannes but made it to few screens beyond. It was a science fiction journey featuring a seven-member crew woken from stasis to explore a strange signal that made him a major name, and this weekend he dives back into that world with Prometheus. So here's a bit of free film school (for fans and filmmakers alike) from a bloke from South Shields.
Updated: Fan-Made 'Star Trek 2′ Teaser Trailer Aspires to Miracles and J.J. Abrams Introduces a Klingon
Movie News By Scott Beggs on June 5, 2012 | Comments (5)Update: So, yes. This is a fan-made trailer. But it's insanely good. And it must have taken a lot of effort. Apologies for posting it as official. The Klingon picture on the other hand, is definitely confirmed as real. Original Post: Benedict Cumberbatch appears to be stuck in a sci-fi beehive in the new teaser trailer for Star Trek 2. Or it might be some sort of rejuvenating bath. Either way, the trailer boasts an eerie, technologically ambitious voice over which promises to find the final solution for all of our problems. Usually when someone seeks that out, a bunch of people die. That's probably why Chris Pine's Captain Kirk looks so concerned. This is Christmas in June for Trek fans, because this trailer is excellent, and because J.J. Abrams just sneaked an image of a Klingon into some recent footage. Check out both below:
Channing Tatum Won't Totally Sink 'Jupiter Ascending'
Casting Couch By Scott Beggs on June 4, 2012 | Comments (2)There's good reason to believe that Channing Tatum's starring in The Wachowski's Jupiter Ascending won't make it completely dull. According to MTV, the actor is confirmed for the role, but where this might have been bad news a year ago (a massive original sci-fi work from directors who made an indelible mark on the genre teaming with a "star" being hoisted upon us all), there's hope now. Why? Because Tatum's turn in 21 Jump Street helped to prove he had a personality beyond what blockbuster blandness was forced into the grinder. Plus, the Wachowskis took Keanu Reeves (the king of soporific acting) and made him into an iconic character). Plus, Magic Mike might do a lot to show off a glittery body butter-coated version of Tatum's personality as well. In the forthcoming Jupiter, Tatum will play an alien of incredible intelligence sent to kill a character played by Mila Kunis. Unsurprisingly, he's unable to kill her because, come on. Seriously. Could you? Instead, he falls in love. Most likely, bad things ensue. Hopefully a dance battle.
Watch: 'Video Game High School' Is What the Future Should Look Like
Features By Scott Beggs on May 31, 2012 | Comments (1)Why Watch? Yesterday, we wrote about the theory that sites like YouTube and Vimeo would make festivals obsolete for independent filmmakers looking for an audience. In the age of the internet, they can directly connect. It's no surprise that Freddie Wong's work has connected, because he makes accessible, unbelievably good CGI-driven, geek-friendly films. Video Game High School is his latest work – a project that was funded on KickStarter to the tune of over $270,000. All they were asking for, was $75k. That's what internet popularity can get you. Fortunately, the work doesn't disappoint. Granted, it's not exactly a short film, but they're releasing it in installments online so definitions are hard to come by here. It's a feature length film, being told as a serial. Regardless of what Webster's will do, this film is the future in more ways than one. What will it cost? Only 12 minutes. Skip Work.

Warners Gets Its Own Mysterious Sci-Fi Project with 'The Wind'
In Development By Scott Beggs on May 25, 2012 | Be the First To CommentParamount and J.J. Abrams are planning a super secret sci-fi project, but they're not the only ones in the game. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warners is staying in the science fiction business with The Wind – a script from David Koepp (Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds). It takes place in a space colony, and that's all that's known, which means we know more about it than the Abrams gig. It will be the feature directing debut for commercial talent Nic Mathieu. In checking out his work, The Wind will most likely involve a healthy amount of fantastic CGI concepts (see link and above). As for the hiring, conventional wisdom says that studios like commercial directors because they're more easily controllable, but Warners is remarkably hands-off with projects like this. Although, that also depends on the budget. The studio hasn't been exploding with sci-fi in the recent past, but their future looks spacey. Gravity, Pacific Rim and Cloud Atlas are on the horizon, with this and hopefully more to come. The science fiction Renaissance continues.

I wouldn't go so far as to call what's done here "market socialism", Brazil is very, very different from China.

And it's true that our gov't is levying far more than their fair share in taxes, for what is being provided in exchange... I remember reading about Belíndia (sorry but apparently there's no English version!). Belíndia was a local economist's parody of what Brazil was (and mostly still is), with taxes and laws from Belgium and standards of living of India. The worst issue is, we end paying up for things we should have for free, for those things are poorly provided by government... public hospitals suck, so we must pay up private hospitals. Public schools sucks, so we must pay for private schools for our kids. Streets and roads are terrible, so gov't hand them over to corporations who charge tolls...
But as I said those things are slowly improving for some time now, IMO.

Version and / or Patch Used: v102
Developer Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com
Product Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com/products/3dmark06/
3DMark06 is the very latest version of the "Gamers Benchmark" from Futuremark. The newest version of 3DMark expands on the tests in 3DMark05 by adding graphical effects using Shader Model 3.0 and HDR (High Dynamic Range lighting), which will push, even the best DX9 graphics cards to the extremes.
3DMark06 also focuses on not just the GPU but the CPU using the AGEIA PhysX software physics library to effectively test single and Dual Core processors.
Our second synthetic benchmark is the newer version of the 3DMark series. One of the big advantages of this utility is the ability to test both SM3 and HDR lighting effects. Like the other synthetic testing, the X1900XTX shows an improvement of between 2-4% over the XT model, and a significant rise from the older X850 series board.

Announcing...The Morry Method (TMM) – A Revolutionary NEW Breakthrough In Brain Wave Entrainment!
This may upset a lot of people, but it has to be said. After trying many of the 'binaural and other brainwave entrainment products' available today, Morry determined that the majority of them just don't work!
Now listen to me…
Morry has the professional background to evaluate these products by analyzing the frequencies of the sounds on these recordings. And you know what? The claims that are made just do not add up.
Many times the frequencies advertised as being on the sound tracks are clearly absent from the products.
Often the frequencies that are present are not stable and fluctuate throughout. There is no way around this… The brain needs 6 minutes of exposure to a steady and accurate pulse or beat in order to entrain and thus give you the benefits.
Now the typical buyer for these products will not have the professional equipment to analyze these audios. So they know that there is no way for you to find out that their products are bogus.
So what of all the "testimonials" you read on these websites. A lot of these people are just getting marginal results or simply the placebo effect—they want the results so badly that their brain 'fools' them into believing that they are really getting the results... They are not!
After trying many of these products, Morry went so far as to contact the owners and they could not answer any of his questions to his satisfaction… go figure.
If you've ever used or are using any binaural or other brainwave entrainment products at this time I challenge you to try the Quantum Mind Power with TMM system and experience the BIG difference for yourself. But more on this later…
First, let me show you why the TMM method is so effective. Now, take a look at these graphical representations of some of the different brainwave stimulation types…
(These images represent a stereo display of 1 second,
at a frequency of 10hz.)
If you take a close look at the "binaural beats" pattern, you'll see that there is a very small difference between the height of the "peaks" and depth of the "valleys" in the wave pattern.
Now get this: It is mainly the size of the difference between the peaks and valleys in the waveform that determines how strong the CER (cortical evoked response - the brain's reaction to the stimulus and ultimately the level of brain wave entrainment) will be.
It's like the difference between riding in a boat on choppy waters compared to riding in a boat through six-foot waves!
That's why we use Isochronic and Monaural tones. They are far more effective for brain wave entrainment than the binaural beats and other stimulation types used by our competitors. You can compare the Isochronic and Monaural tone wave patterns to see that the peaks and valleys are far more distinct, hence far more effective.
At Last! You Can Open The Gateway To Wealth, Health, Success And A More Confident You ......
Just By Listening!
I cannot over emphasize the fact that 99% of the BWE products you'll find on the market today use less effective technology and have little if any, scientific bases.
The TMM system uses a proprietary methodology based on Isochronic and Monaural tones that is much more effective and faster acting. So just take the results you may have read about, that some people are getting from binaural beats and multiply that many times to get an idea of what I'm talking about here.
are the immediate benefits that you can expect to get from the Quantum Mind Power with TMM system?
- Visualize yourself using our product to ramp up your brain power to a level that you will never achieve from all the motivational tapes and programs in the world combined. And this comes from less than 30 minutes of "relaxation" time per day.
- Envision yourself being able to tap into the subconscious mind to boost your creativity and learn to attract wealth into your life. All the great geniuses of our time attest to their subconscious as the source of their ''higher intelligence'' such as Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison!
- Just think naturally reducing stress, anxiety, tension and worry. Inviting peace, calm, confidence and excitement into your life. Just incredible!
- Feel yourself experiencing a level of happiness and euphoria without the use of harmful and addictive drugs by increasing the brains natural "feel good" chemicals.
- You'll become more motivated, think faster 'on your feet' and outsmart your competition in business. You'll always be one step ahead of the crowd while others try to catch up.
- See yourself silencing the negative 'voices' in your head that tell you that you don't deserve to be wealthy and successful and at last live up to your full potential. Overcome the enemy inside you that's holding you back. This one is really cool!
- Envision achieving a level of relaxation thought only to be experienced by Monks after years of meditative practice. You'll reach this level in a lot less time … weeks instead of years! Just plain awesome.
- Imagine sharpening your intuition so that you'll perceive things that you can't really explain. You'll know that you have this 'gut feeling' that this is the action you must take. Complex tasks will suddenly appear clearer and easier to you.
- Picture yourself dramatically increase your self confidence and personal power so much that it will cause people to stand back and take notice of you like never before. Be prepared to surprise even yourself.
- What if you could strengthen your relationships as you easily win new friends and positively influence everyone around you. You'll find yourself "hitting it off' easily with new people, attracting true love, and being the person everyone wants to be around.
- Imagine yourself sleeping less and still waking up each morning full of energy and enthusiasm. You can literally take up to 4 hours less sleep each night and still face the new day feeling more alert, brimming with energy and even be able to complete more work with less errors. This is amazing!
- Think about being able to overcome any addictive behavior such as smoking and drug dependence that damage your self-image. Release yourself from other damaging and deep-seated emotions, helping to lead you to emotional stability.
- Picture yourself being able to balance and strengthen your immune system for a greater feeling of well-being. Stress has been identified as having a major influence on how we age. Imagine how much younger you might look and feel!
- And much more…
This may just be the breakthrough that you've been searching for to finally rid yourself of bad habits and destructive thought patterns, boost your brain power and finally discover your true potential and greatness.
A New Benchmark In Audio Training
And how is Quantum Mind Power with TMM different from the other brain products?
You don't need headphones (but they will increase the effectiveness of the recordings by quite a bit)
You experience a much larger CER (cortical evoked response)This means you get a larger impression on the brain and thus much faster and more effective results.
Our frequencies are harmonically related (like all the related C notes on a piano scale from low to higher keys.) – Recent research suggests that entrainment is even deeper when this is the case.
TMM uses a proprietary methodology. Note that I cannot reveal all the details as our competition would just love to get their hands on this. But rest assured that TMM is both effective and safe.
A much more powerful entrainment effect backed up by solid scientific testing and research.
You get instant download of the audio products so you have no need to wait on receiving these in the mail (saves on shipping charges.)
In addition to all these great benefits we are the only source offering 6 variations of tones (pitch - low to high) and 2 stimulation types - monaural and isochronic. You can therefore choose the tones that are most attractive to you. I've found that the more our customers find the tones pleasing to the ear, the better the results.

The Democracy Project: a History, a Crisis, a Movement by David Graeber
Graeber also thinks OWS should be celebrated precisely because the movement did not make concrete policy demands. As an anarchist, he believes in what he calls "prefigurative" politics: protests are not meant to extract concessions from the existing system, but to give people an idea of what the world would be like if there was no system and individuals were free to make their own choices.
The Democracy Project: a History, a Crisis, a Movement by David Graeber – review
David Runciman is shaken from his apathy by a call for a new politics in a book that asks why the Occupy Wall Street protests worked
David Runciman
The Guardian, Thursday 28 March 2013
What's the first question that springs to mind when you think about Occupy Wall Street? Where did it go? Was anything actually accomplished? What went wrong? These are not the questions that David Graeber wants to answer in his new book on the protest and its ramifications. Graeber, an anthropologist and lifelong activist, was there from the beginning and helped give OWS its start in life in September 2011. He also helped coin the slogan "We are the 99%", which did so much to brand the movement. Now, nearly two years on, Graeber wants to draw some of the wider lessons. He thinks the question that needs to be answered is: Why did it work?
This is not as crazy as it sounds. Graeber has two reasons for believing that Occupy was a huge success. The first is that so many people showed up at all. Graeber, who is also an anarchist, is a veteran of actions, rallies and occupations whose participants can usually be counted in the tens, not the tens of thousands. Bloombergville, a forerunner of the occupation of Zuccotti Park, was a camp of 40 activists living in tents opposite City Hall in lower Manhattan during the summer of 2011. No one noticed, which is what tends to happen with this kind of protest. The original occupation of Wall Street on 17 September drew a couple of thousand people, which was considered a triumph. But within weeks the movement had spread to more than 600 cities, and huge crowds were assembling daily in New York. Graeber writes of having to pinch himself as he watched thousands of people mimicking the hand gestures and rallying cries of activists who were more used to shouting at each other across empty rooms.
These parts of the book read like the typical memoirs of anyone who has an unexpected brush with fame: they are breathless, self-referential and more than a little pompous. Graeber's stories of the infighting between the different anarchist and socialist groups in the runup to Occupy are inadvertently comical: it's the Judean People's Front v the People's Front of Judea. His account of the subsequent explosion of interest in his ideas reminded me of Jarvis Cocker's description of the first time Pulp played Glastonbury. After years of scraping a living in grimy Sheffield clubs, the band suddenly found itself performing to a field of 50,000 people, who all seemed to know the words to "Common People" and were singing devotedly along. This sort of success rarely lasts. Cocker probably has a better idea of the vicissitudes of popular acclaim than Graeber does.

Rihanna's 'Diamonds' Video: Shop It Now!
Hot off the heels of her kickass Victoria's Secret Fashion Show performance, Rihanna's just released the video for "Diamonds," the first single off her forthcoming album Unapologetic. In the clip, RiRi rolls cigarettes filled with precious gems, floats motionless in an ocean and spins around in a desert while flanked by wild horses. Oh, and she also runs barefoot down a dark street while being chased by a car (paparazzi?) and fondles some dude's heavily-tattooed arm (Chris Brown?). It's a lot of drama to take in in under five minutes.
And while Rihanna's "Diamonds" wardrobe is far less over-the-top and editorial than what she wears in most of her videos, it's packed with luxe, simple, sexy basics we'd love to own.

You'd think that being an in-demand beauty queen would mean that you'd have your pick of the world's men, right? Think again. Take the case of Tamara Cserháti, Miss World Hungary 2012, who ended a five-year relationship last year and then spent the next eight months trapped in singledom. With a schedule planned out months in advance, and jobs both in Hungary and abroad, she found herself in the curious position of being a famed beauty with no time to meet new people. Finally, she turned to the internet to widen her social network after a friend recommended Twoo. Having never used a social site before, Tamara wanted the chance to get to know potential matches in a safe, mobile environment – which, as you'll know by now, is exactly what we provide!
Speaking to us back in February, Tamara explained: "It may sound strange that as a beauty queen I have registered on a site to meet new people, but with such a fast-paced lifestyle this is my best chance to find a man who suits me. I only have a little free time, so I am rarely able to go out."
The beauty queen had very definite ideas about her priorities when searching for a partner on Twoo: "I'm looking for someone with a good sense of humour, who can make me laugh but is smart at the same time, so we can talk about everything. He should be trustworthy under all circumstances, so that I can feel safe with him. Based on my experiences, I get along best with calm, even-tempered men, so this is also an important aspect of my search. I'm actively using the site now, so I've already got a lot of messages, but of course I'm also browsing profiles. I didn't know that so many handsome men were single!"
So, how did Tamara get on? We checked in with our lovely celebrity user a month later, and found that she had just been on her first date in over half a year. "I remember the weekend when I was browsing the site and this guy dropped me a message. I checked his photos and because I found him interesting, I replied to him immediately. Later it developed into a several-hour-long conversation and as we do not believe in chatting exclusively online, we decided to meet in person," she told us.
The lucky gentleman in question was Krisztián, a salesman who had ended his own five-year relationship a couple of months before. With this common ground between them, the two quickly hit it off, leading to a first date at a bowling alley. Between matches, the couple followed up on their online conversations.
After some initial worry that they wouldn't have chemistry in real life, Tamara was pleased to find that Krisztián was every bit the man he had appeared to be – funny, confident and gentle. "I was a little bit stressed at the beginning," Tamara explained, "but his humour made me feel more comfortable. I think we made a good decision to go bowling instead of to a café – it was more direct."
But what about the future? Well, we're happy to report that both Tamara and Krisztián hoped to meet up again. "We won't be disappointed if it doesn't turn out to be true love, though", Tamara said. "Even if it develops into a good friendship, it was worth registering on Twoo!"
With such celebrity endorsements still ringing in our ears, we hope that you'll follow the example that Tamara and Krisztián have provided – just get chatting and see where it leads. And however you use Twoo, remember to have fun!
Team Twoo
Social discovery site Twoo.com is celebrating its third birthday this week. In these few years it has experienced dramatic growth. What started off as a small start-up in Ghent, Belgium has evolved into a company that is active in over 200 countries and 38 languages. And its ambitions remain sky-high.
Twoo.com was launched in April 2011. The idea was to create a social network where people can get to know each other in a fun, relaxed way and in a safe environment. Users can like each other based on photos and preferences. If two people like each other, they are a match.
11.9 million unique visitors
The concept proved to be an instant hit, as only 18 months after its launch Twoo became the number 1 site in the world in its category (Personals, comScore December 2012). "What sets Twoo apart from other social discovery sites is that it's free to use, it uses innovative matchmaking algorithms and has an enormous number of active and genuine members. In January, for example, 11.9 million people logged in to Twoo. However, that is no reason to relax our efforts. We closely follow the latest trends and update the site every week, ranging from minor details to exciting new features. Moreover, we listen carefully to our users' feedback to finetune Twoo continuously.", CEO Lorenz Bogaert explains.
Twoo goes global
Twoo.com is currently available in 38 languages and operates in over 200 countries, but the goal is to continue to grow, especially internationally. "We are very proud to have reached the milestone of 50 million users. The hard work of our team to create an attractive and safe platform where people can meet each other freely is paying off. On to the next 50 million!", Lorenz Bogaert concludes.
Last Christmas – along with all the perfume, books, clothes, toys and media devices – there were a lot of good intentions under the tree. Several months later, we thought the time was right to poll more than 2,000 of our Belgian users about their new year's resolutions for 2014. Did they stick to them? Are they healthier, better people? Or have they abandoned their good intentions and gone back to their bad habits? Let's dig into their answers and find out.
Best laid plans…
38% of Belgians surveyed claimed that they had made at least some plans for the new year. The holiday season might be the traditional time for giving and sharing, but when it comes to self-improvement, 37% of people said that they thought of themselves first. And singles (38%) made more resolutions than people in a relationship (35%), which perhaps suggests that if you're settled down you're less motivated to change. Just remember not to get stuck in a rut, people!
Popular resolutions for 2014 included taking more exercise (24%), losing weight (13%) and giving up smoking (11%). Socialising also got a boost in the new year, with 22% of our Belgian users hoping to make new friends and go out more. And of those with room in their hearts for further ambition, 9% stated that they wanted to spend more time with their families, while 6% were angling for a new job or a promotion this year. All lofty goals…
A trouble shared is a trouble halved?
But how did they fare? Surprisingly, women took the lead in ditching their resolutions, with just 10% staying the course compared to 19% of men. As these figures show when taken together, very few of our Belgian friends actually followed through with their plans over the long-term. So, how can you improve your odds?
Our results show that sharing your intentions may be the key to success, helping to keep you honest when you might otherwise be tempted to quit. Many of our Belgian respondents opted to do just that, with 38% involving their friends and 32% relying on their partners. There's clearly nothing so challenging that a support group can't help you with it!
The wisdom of age
You also stand a better chance of sticking to your guns as you mature. Perseverance apparently comes with age, as the over-50s proved themselves the most unwavering (16%). This may reflect the fact that age brings perspective – the older you are, the more realistic your intentions become (or maybe it's just stubbornness!). Of course, another surefire method of sticking to your goals is to cheat when setting them; one in three of our Belgian respondents shamelessly admitted to choosing easy resolutions that they knew they could keep!
Whatever you decided to change last New Year's Eve, we hope that our survey will give you some ideas for making sure you live up to your resolutions of 2014. And if you need a friend to use as a crutch, why not check out people in your neighbourhood on Twoo? With over 8,000 matches made every single day, it's the fun and easy way to get to know new pals. So you'll have even less excuse to fail next year. Right? Right.
Have fun and stay strong,
Team Twoo
Every now and then, we like to bring you news of trends we've spotted among Twoo users, giving you a glimpse into the psyches of potential new friends from around the world. This time around, we thought we'd focus on the Netherlands.
Dutch use of social discovery sites like Twoo appears to be changing, and meeting new people in person is becoming increasingly important. In a recent study, we found that Holland leads the way in Western Europe when it comes to meeting online contacts in real life, with two-thirds of Dutch respondents having transferred their friendships from their devices to the outside world. Compare this to some of the other countries in our survey – Belgium (60%), France (51%), Germany (46%) – and it becomes clear that the Dutch are at the forefront of modern relationships. And they're light years ahead of the UK, where only 26% were willing to take the plunge and move online friendships offline.
So, the Dutch are meeting new people IRL… but how? And where? What's the secret to successfully building on the connections you've made online?
Firstly, it's not always about dating! 44% of our Dutch members claimed that they were looking for friendship, ahead of 34% who were seeking romance with a potential partner. The main reason given for meeting at all was a previous enjoyable online chat.
Once you've decided you want to meet, it's time to choose a place. Our friends in the Netherlands definitely favour having fun in a casual way. 66% picked a bar or a pub as their venue of choice – but not just to calm their jangled nerves with booze; in fact, more than half said they'd opt for a cup of coffee. Prefer the outdoors? Well, if you're into physical exercise, perhaps Holland is the place for you, as taking a walk came in as the surprise third favourite encounter. The conclusion seems to be that the Dutch are waving goodbye to traditional (and formal) meeting places in favour of a more laid-back approach.
As Lien Louwagie, Community Director at Twoo, explains: "Every month, more than 140,000 Dutch people use Twoo to expand their social network, and this number continues to grow. The Dutch are very open in their online contact – they love to have fun and get to know people in an easy way." But don't just take her word for it – the stats back her up! 96% of our Dutch users said that they'd had a fun time during their first encounter with a Twoo friend. Even better, 63% met up with their new friend again, and almost half of our Dutch pals met with more than one person. One in five even said that they'd met more than three friends through Twoo.
So if you want a high success rate when moving your friendships from the digital world to real life, it all starts with making a strong connection on Twoo.
Have fun!
According to a survey answered by more than half a million of our international users, we've found that the Dutch are the most strongly attached to their mobile phones, with a third (34%) of them claiming that they definitely couldn't live without their devices. This puts the Netherlands at the top of the countries surveyed, ahead of Germany (13%), Spain (19%), France (20%) and the US (22%). Around a third of these high-tech lowlanders would choose to take a phone or a laptop to a desert island, instead of personal photos and letters (20%), or a pen and football(6%).
Twoo is used as a meeting place by a growing number of people in Holland – more than 500,000 have registered on the site since we launched in 2011. Around 10,000 of our Dutch friends responded to our questions about their mobile use, and only 3% of them said that they could imagine life without a cell phone.
The prominence of the phone in Dutch daily life is also evident in the stats on their surfing behaviour on Twoo. 44% of the 150,000 users who sign in each month are making new connections using their smartphones. This is significantly more than the global average of 33%.
As Twoo's Community Director, Lien Louwagie, explains: "The Dutch are proven leaders in the use of mobile technology. We've already released apps for the iPhone, Android and Windows phones, and we've recently introduced apps for iPad and Android tablets for our tech-savvy users from the Netherlands. Mobile devices are going to be even more important in the future for staying in touch, and the Dutch seem to be ready for that progress!"
On 19 November 2013, Twoo HQ joined the world in celebrating International Men's Day. And what better time than Men's Day to put our male users under the spotlight and investigate what a man is – or should be – in today's world. We began our research by asking our female users for their definition of the ideal man… and let's cut to the chase: gentlemen, you really don't need to look like Brad Pitt or David Beckham to wow the ladies. Clearly, it can't hurt – but there are more important factors to take into consideration than a pretty face and a stack of cash.
Some body to love
While it's true that 52% of the women we surveyed claimed to prefer a fit, sporty appearance in their ideal men, we found that shapely men were more popular (taking 27% of the vote) than slender gents (22%). The message? In general, women are attracted to all sorts of body shapes, and aren't afraid of the odd curve or bulge here and there. But don't take this as an excuse to stay slumped in front of your TV, because although there seems to be some truth to the idea that there's somebody for every body out there, you'll increase your chances (and your overall health) if you take a little exercise and get up off that couch!
Do clothes make the man?
Suits and ties might not be required, but that doesn't mean you guys are necessarily going to score by wearing sweatpants or the lethal combination of socks and sandals. Our women were mainly looking for casually dressed men (31%), but nearly a quarter of them admitted that they would be drawn to a chap who carries himself in a stylish manner. Clothing might not be the be-all-and-end-all, but making yourself vaguely presentable obviously helps to show potential partners that you can take care of yourself. Remember, first impressions definitely count.
Substance over style
Ok, so we've dealt with your body and what you put on it, but BREAKING NEWS ALERT: flexing your muscles and wearing the latest fashion just isn't enough. Never underestimate the importance of what's inside – personality! The ladies on Twoo made it clear that if you're not frank (31%), humourous (10%), cheerful (8%), reliable (8%) or adventurous (6%), then forget it. And so what if there are a load of sporty hunks swanning around? The vast majority of our women (55%) said they were looking for one thing: a partner who trusts them. Personality and integrity always win out in the end!
Travel is hot, smoking is not!
Finally, if you're looking for a secret weapon to help you conquer the hearts of our female members, our research suggests that you pull out one of your travel tales – because apparently there's nothing hotter than a man who occasionally ventures out into the world. The more adventurous, the better! Topping our list of things to avoid mentioning, however, are tobacco products of all kinds – the majority of women (52%) are looking for non-smokers. So if you haven't kicked the habit, maybe now's the time…
Ok guys, now you know what women want, and it's a fair bet that you'll have recognised at least some elements of yourself while reading this blog post. So why not polish your rough edges using the results of our research and put yourselves out there on Twoo? We'd love to hear how you get on.
Have fun!
Team Twoo.
Everyone in Team Twoo loves movies, and so we decided to take a detailed look at Belgians' film watching behaviour. And guess what we found out? Belgians prefer to go to the cinema with company. So far, so standard. What startled us was that 45% of them claimed that they would rather go to the flicks with friends than with a girlfriend or boyfriend. Partners were firmly relegated to second place (30%), while only 4% of respondents stated that they would rather go alone – mainly because that way they can see the movie they actually want to see. Ouch. Trouble in paradise?
A shoulder to cry on
However, as our results show, perhaps these lone wolves made the wrong choice and could have used some company after all – more than 60% of film fans admitted to regularly wiping away a tear at the end of a film (although obviously they almost all try to hide it). And yes, this is as true for men (51%) as for women (49%) – a stirring display of equality from our members! A tragic 5% of our Belgian survey group went even further, and confessed to being total cry-babies. Won't someone give these sensitive souls a hug?
Horrified by romance?
While comedies (26%) and action films (22%) top the genres among our Belgian friends, in a surprising third place comes romance, followed by horror. Just under half of respondents described romantic comedies as being "sometimes ok". At the same time, a similar number (44%) designated the genre as "heartwarming and funny". At the opposite end of the spectrum, 7% spontaneously screamed "Change the channel!" As for horror films, slightly more than a quarter of Belgians (including men) said they jumped in terror while watching – the perfect opportunity to hide behind the extremely hardcore 10% who claimed to have "seen them all". Because nothing says FUN TIMES like quaking in your seat…
It seems that almost all of us like to share our cinematic experiences with friends. Can't find someone to go with you? Turn to Twoo! Wherever you're based and whatever your tastes, updating your favourite films on Twoo could lead to a connection with a brand new movie buddy from your area. But where to go from there? Well, based on the numbers, we'd recommend a comedy. Whether it's romantic or not… we'll leave that up to you!
Happy viewing!
Here at Twoo HQ, we regularly receive e-mails from people telling us that their profile isn't getting enough attention. In cases like this, our first step is to check out the user's profile. And in the vast majority of cases, our search for answers ends right there. The reason? An unflattering profile picture.
Think for a minute about how you use Twoo. While browsing through profiles, it's a fair bet that you'll have skipped past other members simply because their photos didn't hook you at a glance. The old cliché that first impressions count is unfortunately true. And if you're judging people in a couple of seconds based only on their picture, you'd better believe that they're doing the same to you. If your profile isn't getting any interest, it's almost certainly down to your choice of photo.
Don't believe us? Fine, we don't expect you to blindly take our word for it. Instead, we thought we'd put our theory to the test, using guinea pigs plucked from our own staff. A pair of our diligent workers, Lien and Stijn, each created two near-identical profiles each – the only difference being the choice of profile picture. One profile had a great pic, while the other had a truly awful one: dark, out of focus and unflattering. We set up the profiles, and waited to see how other Twoo users would respond. After a week, we tallied the results. And here's what happened…
As you can see, the numbers speak for themselves: the good photos got the action. Let's look again at Lien's bad photo, though – what's wrong with it (apart from the darkness, the lack of eye contact, the fact that it's out of focus and the unflattering sense of exhaustion that it exudes)? The impression it creates isn't friendly or engaging, so why would we want to find out anything more about this person? Now compare it with Lien's good photo. She seems happy and relaxed, and is looking and smiling right at us. We want to know more, to be around that positive, upbeat energy… maybe even to be the one to prompt that smile in future.
Now let's see how Stijn fared.
Again, you can see the difference. Users responded to the good photo, because Stijn looks like the sort of person we might actually want to be around. He's engaging with the camera, smiling and radiating good humour, on what looks like a lovely day, out and about. Fun, right? Contrast that with the bad photo – what's interesting about this social misfit? His awkward posture? His murky face that we can't really make out? His evasive stare off-camera? You get the idea.
So what are the conclusions of our experiment? The better the profile pic, the better the response! Clear, brightly lit, happy photos are guaranteed to make a better impression than blurry, gloomy, miserable ones. So before you write to us, baffled by the lack of action your profile is getting, take a minute to check your profile from a stranger's point of view (or even ask a trusted friend for their honest opinion). Based on first impressions, would you want to find out more? No? Then start snapping and don't stop until you've got a bright, welcoming, friendly profile photo. We think we've proved that it makes all the difference.

Twoo HQ
Twoo.com (http://www.twoo.com) releases location-based mobile apps, proving that winning on the web is not the only goal
Just one year after launching, social discovery site Twoo.com is already a force to be reckoned with, with over 8 million unique visitors in May, according to comScore.
To bolster the success of their online presence, Twoo.com has launched two mobile apps, with features exclusive to handheld devices, that give users' freedom to chat, meet or date who they want, when they want, where they want.
Twoo.com's app can now be downloaded on Android handsets, in addition to its recently improved iPhone equivalent. To complement the site's key features, the app uses location-based software so you can see which users are closest to you, real-time.
Twoo.com understands the needs of social single people today; users can't be confined to desktop searches – they want real time, mobile capabilities that enable meeting on the move, just like in the real world.
As well as new features, there is a growing team based in London, headed up by Nick Lisher, former Strategy Director at mysinglefriend.com, to complement the European HQ in Ghent, Belgium.
Nick is thrilled to be joining Massive Media, the dating site's parent company, at a time when Twoo.com is on the road to becoming one of the world's most popular social networks.
Nick Lisher said, "Twoo.com is a force of nature, a phenomenon in the world of social discovery. I am overwhelmingly impressed with the product, as are the 1.5 million members who log into the service every day to meet new people, and have fun. I can't wait to further introduce the service to US and UK audiences."
The expanding team and rich functionality are two factors helping to catapult Twoo.com up to third in the list of the most popular personals sites worldwide, according to recent ComScore data, leaving many of the traditional, "old school" dating websites trailing behind.
The fledgling site had 8.42 million unique visitors in May 2012, more than double the amount reported in December, and all within a year of launching.
The success of Twoo.com demonstrates that meeting new people is a huge part online culture. People use the site to meet like-minded people for dating or friendship, and the popularity of Twoo.com's mobile apps show the importance of keeping up with today's evolving social landscape.

Slapping motorcycle nameplates onto full-size pickups is nothing new, but we like the approach used on the Toyota Tundra Ducati Transporter, a concept unveiled at the 2008 SEMA show.
Toyota started with a stock Tundra CrewMax pickup, but stretched the frame in order to accommodate a 6.5-foot bed. The extra length was needed to haul motorcycles - in this case, a brand new Ducati Desmosedici RR. Though the tailgate appears stock, it actually swings to the left, allowing a ramp to the cargo area to be lowered to the ground.
The bed's further customized on its sides, where virtually the entire exterior skin flips up and away, revealing an extensive system of tool cabinets and storage. Solar panels mounted on the bed's cover can be raised, powering accessories or other power tools when needed. And since it's SEMA, Toyota didn't forget about the Tundra's performance. TRD fitted a big brake kit, lowered the suspension, and added a supercharger to the 5.7-liter V-8. We're sure the additions help the rig move quickly - but nothing like the Ducati itself.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Elvis!
Facts about Elvis
- Breed: Pit Bull Terrier/American Bulldog Mix
- Color: White - With Brown Or Chocolate
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Elvis's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Dear God: I'm just a baby so I haven't had to pray for a home very long like my foster brothers and sisters. The vet is guessing me to be about 3.5 to 4mths of age. I'm not as big as my brother, but I'm just as sweet. We were abandoned together. A man found us in our wet cardboard box in December. My big brother kept us warm while we laid under him. That's what a big brother's are suppose to do, right! We were taken to a rescue who vetted and altered us. After a while they decided that a pit bull rescue was the better place for us. This way we get to learn better social skills. We're now chipped and ready to start our lives in a new home with a family to love us.
So God, if you know a family who wants a sweet little boy to train to be the best ambassador there can be for Pit Bulls, I'm applying for that position.
Rehoming donation $200 w/approved application/signed contract/and home visit. Please contact email@example.com to adopt Bowie

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Elvis, a Cincinnati Pit Bull Terrier/American Bulldog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pit Bull Terrier/American Bulldog for sale in Cincinnati, or seeking a Pit Bull Terrier/American Bulldog puppy from a breeder in Cincinnati.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Cincinnati 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 Cincinnati 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 Pit Bull Terrier/American Bulldog breeders who help with Pit Bull Terrier/American Bulldog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Cincinnati paves the way for another one to be saved.

Aravindhavalli's research is on the music of Thirumangai Alvar, the last of the 12 Alvar saints of south India
At 73, C. Aravindhavalli's zest for life is infectious. She has just finished her PhD, and is all set to celebrate it with her grandchildren who are in their twenties.
"They are studying in the US. They are coming here to be with me, to celebrate the fact that their paati has a doctorate now," she laughed.
On Saturday, at the convocation function of the University of Madras, Ms. Aravindhavalli will be one of the few candidates who will receive their PhDs from Chief Minister Jayalalithaa.
Ms. Aravindhavalli, a resident of Triplicane, said, "I married when I was in class IX, and was part of a large, joint family. For many years, I was completely immersed in daily chores."
Six years ago, when she began to think about re-entering the world of academia, it was not easy. She had completed B.A. in music then. "I had grandchildren to look after and I did not know how it would seem if I attended classes at that age. But then my granddaughter sent me notebooks from Mumbai to encourage me, and I decided to go ahead," she said.
The septuagenarian attended classes regularly at Queen Mary's College and finished her M.A. in Vaishnavism. Her guide, K. R. Seethalakshmi, principal, Quaid-E- Millath College for Women recalls, "Her husband came and requested me to convince her to start studying again. But it was easy to get her started as she knew she wanted to focus on the music aspect of the Alvars."
But then in 2008, Ms. Aravindhavalli's husband, an LIC agent, passed away, just as she was thinking about beginning her PhD. "It was very difficult convincing her to focus on clearing her registration exam — important because she didn't have an M.Phil. But she is very hardworking and sincere," said Prof. Seethalakshmi.
Ms. Aravindhavalli's research is on the music of Thirumangai Alvar, the last of the 12 Alvar saints of south India, who are known for their affiliation to the Vaishnavite tradition of Hinduism.
"This has not only helped me overcome my husband's death but has also made me feel closer to god," she said.
Aravindhavalli had to give veena recitals as practical performances to finish her PhD. "When I was very young, my mother told me once, never to stop playing the Veena. I am glad I listened to her."
Her PhD, she said, was a tribute to her father who was a Tamil professor. "This year is his 101st birth anniversary. He has guided many students into finishing their studies. He would be proud of me today."
"He was a very learned person who also had a very interesting, colourful life. Knowing about the Bhakti cult of that time was like meditation as our family believes follows all vaishnavite traditions, and it made me understand my daily rituals better," she adds.
Keywords: C. Aravindhavalli, University of Madras, Vaishnavism PhD
