For 365 days, Sheena Matheiken will wear the same black dress. No need to "eww" as the dress she wears is washed—this isn't a test of hygiene. What The Uniform Project is about is teaching people about sustainable dressing, and to raise money for charity.
Every day, Sheena Matheiken will wear the same black dress, but will change the look everyday by adding accessories which will, for the most part, have come from vintage looks. The goal is to raise money for Akanksha Foundation, and to look fabulous in reclaimed looks.

reviews & comments (5)
Increased garlic to 7 medium cloves thinly sliced, increased olive oil to quarter cup, and increased red pepper to 1 tablespoon. Left out oregano, olives and parmesan. Incredible recipe.
Delicious version of puttanesca.Really yummy. Full of flavor. But I wouldn't call it either "hot" or "spicy".Very good.
I hate to cook, but this recipe intrigued me when I saw it in Parade years ago because I love anchovies and I love spicy. I just loved it and it was easy to make as well as very healthy. The anchovies are a great source of calcium. All the incredients are good for you. Very tasty.

Change Collation on all Tables and Columns
Found this great little utility if you need to change collation of a bunch of tables and columns all at once. It's called Phoca Changing Collation
I am working on a huge PHP/MySQL project and because of time constraints in the beginning I wasn't paying attention, I was just importing from MSSQL. Well I ended up with a bunch of junk, a few utf8_general_ci and a few others latin and others other ones and it was a mess when I found out today that happened.
So this little thing saved me a long time of work
Pretty cool, just gotta remember to go into it's PHP file and change the max_execution_time to something really really high if you have a lot of tables and such. I had around 200 tables with thousands of records each. So I had to change it to something like 4800 to get through all tables myself. But other than that it's pretty sweet!!

So ive had a few colts in the past, never an issue. I just traded in my new agent for a colt commander. Brand new in the box. I took her out and put 400 rounds through it. Fed and fired each and every one. just as i would expect.
However, every once in a while, with both factory colt mags. The slide would fail to lock. I would have to grab the mag and pull it out. If i re-inserted the mag and manipulated the slide manually, it still wouldnt lock.
I didnt get a pic of it, but the follower is sliding OVER the lock tab. Looks like it has a rather small contact patch, and it just slides off the slide lock tab and sits off to the side of it.
So....Bad mags, or a bad follower?

Ipswich winger Gary Roberts could be set for a return to Accrington Stanley after being transfer-listed by Town boss Jim Magilton.
The 24-year-old left Stanley for Ipswich in January 2007 after an initial loan spell but has failed to establish himself at Portman Road.
Although Roberts made 21 league appearances for Town last term, 11 of those were from the bench and he was allowed to join Crewe on a one-month loan deal during the second half of the season.
"We have been speaking to Gary - the manager talks to him a lot anyway," chairman Eric Whalley told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.
"I think he is available on a free and he is someone we have spoken to, so we will have to see what happens."

The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, revenue growth and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures.

"If You Don't Like Us, Find A Way To Get Rid Of Us!"
"If you don't like us, find a way to get rid of us!" That was Patrick McEnroe's response to a parent's question regarding the 2014 Junior Competition Changes at last summer's Girls 12 Nationals in Atlanta, and it was really the beginning of my extensive coverage of the new calendar that USTA was planning to implement beginning January 1, 2014.
Now that the calendar changes have been finalized and approved at the National Board level, I figured I should do a sort-of recap of the process More >
Update on 2014 Junior Comp Structure
1I know I said you probably wouldn't be hearing from me this week – I'm still at the beach on Spring Break, luckily – but I wanted to pass along the latest news from USTA's Board of Directors meeting.
I received an email this morning from USTA's Bill Mountford, letting me know that the changes to the previously approved Junior Competition Structure were unanimously approved by the Board last night. That means, as predicted, that the changes will go into effect January 1 of next year.
It's time More >
New Rules in GA for U10s & U12s
12Why, you might ask, is there a French magazine cover pictured at the top of this post? Well, 2 reasons . . . first of all, because I want everyone to notice that it features French pro, Richard Gasquet, at the age of 9, playing tennis using a yellow ball. Second of all, because in just a few weeks I'll be at Roland Garros watching a couple of days of phenomenal tennis at the French Open and am pretty darn excited! (P.S. Anyone who wants to hook me up with courtside seats, you know how to More >
Now What?
4The 2014 changes to the junior competition calendar are all but a done deal. The Powers That Be at USTA, despite our best efforts, have decided they (not parents, not coaches, not the players themselves) know what's best for our young players and have slashed competitive opportunities at the national level by a huge margin. So, now what?
Add to the mix the fact that several USTA sections have also adopted a rather Draconian policy for the 10-and-unders and 12-and-unders, forcing them onto the More >
Another Giant Step
This past weekend was another giant step in my Tennis Parent Journey. My son drove himself to a tournament. Out of town. About 2 hours from home. While my husband and I were at a family reunion out of state.
Now, before you start thinking I am totally out of my mind, please know that I enlisted the support of a Fellow Tennis Mom to be on call for my son. She and her son were staying at the same hotel as my kid. She was in charge of checking my son into his room and making sure he had More >
The Tournament that Almost Was
Finally, after months of being on alternate lists and finding out last minute whether or not he was going to play that weekend, my son got direct entry into one of our Southern Level 3 tournaments AND was seeded! He had a pretty good draw and figured he had a very good chance of getting to the Semis if not winning the whole thing. He had been playing well in practice over the past couple of weeks and went into the weekend feeling very confident in his game.
So, early Friday evening, we More >
Approved Changes Still Need Board Okay
8The following is the official announcement I received just a few minutes ago from LetUsKnow.com. Given that I'm going on the air in less than 15 minutes, I haven't had a chance to read through everything yet. I welcome your comments below.
We are writing to let you know that the U.S. Tennis Association has taken another positive step toward approving some significant changes to the previously approved 2014 national junior competition structure during the Association's Annual Meeting this More >
I'm Back . . .
12I'm not sure anyone even noticed, but I've been out of town all week on a Girls Trip with my daughters. My middle daughter and I were visiting her big sister in Los Angeles. Yes, the Indian Wells tournament was in full swing. No, we did not attend. Sometimes hiking and shopping and Disneyland trump tennis. Sometimes.
Anyway, I have been following all the comments posted on my article about our options regarding the 2014 calendar. Wow! A lot of emotion coming through. Obviously, I have More >
2014: What Are Our Options?
84There seems to be some (a lot!) confusion about USTA's governance procedure as it relates to the 2014 changes. After reading through the USTA by-laws in their entirety, I can tell you that I'm not any closer to understanding the intricacies of how this terribly complicated organization operates. I have asked some people who have been involved with USTA for way longer than I have to please explain to me what our options are moving forward. Here's what they have told me.
At next week's meeting More >
Quota Comparison Between 2012 & 2014
28The link below is to an Excel spreadsheet comparing Boys 18 entries by section between the actual 2012 Winter Nationals tournament and what the numbers will look like if the proposed 2014 changes are approved. The numbers for SoCal and NorCal may be off by one or two as there was some confusion as to which of the two sections certain players were from. Please take some time to read and understand the differences and feel free to comment below.

Who can apply?
Third sector (voluntary) organisations working in Scotland can apply for a grant to develop short break opportunities for disabled children and young people (aged 0-20) and their carers.

About the Short Breaks Fund
The Short Breaks Fund, including the Better Breaks programme, is managed by the National Carer Organisations through Shared Care Scotland, on behalf of Scottish Ministers. The Short Breaks Fund also incorporates the Creative Breaks programme which provides funding to improve the range and availability of short breaks for adults with care needs and their carers, for young carers and for kinship carers.
Better Breaks is a funding programme to improve the provision of, and access to, quality short breaks for disabled children and their families, especially where children and young people have multiple support needs. Funded by the Scottish Government and divided into two grant making programmes - one administered by Shared Care Scotland and the other by the Family Fund.
Funding for carers and the people they care for
Direct funding for families is available through The Family Fund. Their programme is called Take a Break Scotland. Eligible families in Scotland, caring for disabled children and young people, will be able to apply directly to the Fund for financial help to arrange a short break. More information on how to apply for this funding can be found at: www.takeabreakscotland.org.uk.

Watch: Jake Gyllenhaal Guides Us Through the Ennui of Another Photo Shoot
Features By Kate Erbland on August 17, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhy Watch? During his photo shoot for the cover of this month's Details, Jake Gyllenhaal was let loose with a camera, using it to capture the boredom and the tedium that accompanies such a high profile shoot, along with plenty of shots of craft services and people bitching about each other. Oh, Hollywood! The short also plays as a nice companion piece to the single song that makes up its soundtrack – Aaron Embry's "Moon on a Daylit Sky." Yes, it's pretty naval-gazey, but aren't most photo shoots? What will it cost you? Only 4 minutes. Skip work. Watch more short films.
Jake Gyllenhaal Revs Up Negotiations With Albert Hughes For 'Motor City'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on March 7, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAlbert Hughes' next project, Motor City, is in a bit of a pickle. You see, Dominic Cooper was all set to star in the movie, playing a recently released prisoner going about the business of tracking down the men who framed him and thus sent him away. There have been some scheduling conflicts, however, and Cooper has now been forced to drop out. So what's a director to do? In this case, Hughes is solving his problem by looking at an even bigger name to step in and take over. Variety is reporting that Jake Gyllenhaal is currently in negotiations to become Motor City's new leading man. Gyllenhaal is an actor who hasn't been working much lately, so there shouldn't be any further scheduling conflicts if he signs on. Then again, Gyllenhaal hasn't been working much lately, and clearly that must be his choice, so what's it going to take to get his name on the dotted line? You have to imagine that Motor City's producers are pretty intent on getting Gyllenhaal signed, sealed, and delivered, as he's one of the few people out there who still has enough star power to guarantee a few extra box office dollars on opening night, so whichever way this one goes, we should know the results soon.
Over/Under: 'Brokeback Mountain' vs. 'Weekend'
Features By Nathan Adams on February 7, 2012 | Comments (2)Brokeback Mountain had the highest opening weekend per screen average in 2005, and it went from opening in only five theaters to playing wide all over the world by the end of its run. Then, when award season rolled around, it garnered all sorts of acclaim, getting awards for best picture from multiple outlets, Oscars for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Director, and it even got recognition from GLAAD for being the year's most outstanding film. Pretty much it was embraced by everyone as being groundbreaking and important, and it saved Ang Lee's butt after he pissed everyone off by making The Hulk. Weekend came out just this last September, but you might not remember it because not many people ended up checking it out. By the time it left theaters it had only made a domestic gross of $484,592. Ouch. And while this movie also got some love from GLAAD, it was ignored by all of the mainstream awards shows like the Oscars and the Golden Globes. A cultural phenomenon it wasn't.
Culture Warrior: A New Trend of Technologically-Enabled Heroes
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on August 30, 2011 | Comments (4)Warning: This article contains spoilers for Source Code…and, for that matter, Avatar. Recently in Hollywood, the physiological capabilities of our heroic protagonists have owed a great deal to modern medicine and technology, specifically from the military. Whether it be the unique opportunity provided for the paraplegic Jake Sully in Avatar, the incredible and unwanted responsibility of the nearly-dead Colter Stevens in Source Code, or the intravenous hyper-bulking of Steve Rogers in Captain America: The First Avenger, Hollywood has given us a spate of unlikely protagonists connected specifically by the fact that their initial disabilities provide for them a unique opportunity to become exceptionally enabled.
Ten Not-So-Heroic Heroes in Recent Movie History
Cinematic Listology By Jack Giroux on July 5, 2011 | Comments (17)While enduring the mild pain caused by Transformers: Dark of the Moon, I thought to myself, "Man, this Sam character is a real prick. What type of people actually like this person? This is the best savior we could get?" I then realized that I often find myself thinking this nowadays. We rarely get great, likable heroes or genuine badasses on film anymore. Most are either mopey, passive, or do morally questionable acts. I'm not referring to anti-heroes — although, I do include one on the list — but, rather, the unintentionally lame mainstream characters that aren't the most compelling or charming. A few of these not-so-heroic characters aren't due to bad acting. As you'll notice, Leonardo DiCaprio made the list for Inception, where he gave a solid performance. While I wouldn't say that most of the actors featured here impressed anyone, DiCaprio and a few others certainly did. Here are ten mainstream characters that exhibit very little heroics:
"Tell me what you like about my body," came a shy voice from behind me. I mulled that sentence over for a moment. It seemed like such a strange request considering I already thought the guy was sexy enough to lay next to in my birthday suit. Not to sound like a Christina Aguilera video here, but I couldn't stop touching this man and the post-activity head spins weren't adequately allowing me to sum up how much I enjoyed his company. And bluntly, would saying how attractive I found him really change how he felt about himself? A few days later I had time to reflect on this jarring moment. It was the first of its kind for me, and I haven't experienced anything like it since. Of course men have these questions of body image, but I've never been with someone who felt so comfortable (or maybe uncomfortable) as to ask what their partner preferred about their physical appearance. Being a nerd who refuses to live in the real world, I couldn't help but compare this real slice of life with a film that for all intents and purposes hasn't really stayed in the minds of many viewers.
Who is Sean Fentress?: A (Completely Serious) Exploration of What Happened After the Ending of 'Source Code'
Features By Guest Author on April 20, 2011 | Comments (21)Editor's Note: This editorial contains spoilers for Source Code, so if you haven't seen it 1) you should and 2) you probably won't get the jokes either. It comes from guest writer James Kopecky who has thought far too much about what happened at the end of Duncan Jones's latest. When I see a movie, I take it as a two-hour-long glimpse into a reality that has a rich history, as well as an ongoing, unwritten future. After the credits roll, I assume that the characters and the story keep moving, most likely in the direction they were headed when the picture ended. So when I saw Source Code, I thought about what happened to the characters after screen faded to black. This turned out to be problematic for me, because the ending of Source Code raised a slew of questions, some more perplexing than others.
Culture Warrior: 'Source Code' vs 'Moon' and the Structures of Everyday Life
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on April 4, 2011 | Comments (2)This editorial contains spoilers for Source Code and Moon. If you haven't seen the movies yet, go check it out first before diving in. When I watched Duncan Jones's sophomore effort Source Code, I couldn't help but think about how much it resembles, nearly beat for beat in its structure, his first film Moon. This is not necessarily a criticism of Source Code or Jones, as repeated thematic occupations and narrative revisitation can be the sign of the auteur, and I've enjoyed both his films. But the films are, admittedly, structurally identical in several ways. Both involve a lone protagonist who discovers something unexpected about their identity that changes their relationship to their given tasks (Sam Bell realizing he is a clone in Moon, Captain Colter Stevens's "near-death" state in Source Code), and combat some form of repression against a bureaucratic organizational body (a private corporation in Moon, military scientists in Source Code) while being assisted by an empathetic, benevolent subordinate of that organization (GERTY the robot in Moon, Vera Famiga's Captain Goodwin in Source Code). But it is rather appropriate that both of Jones's films be so structurally similar, for the major themes connecting them, and the narratives by which those themes are exercised, are enveloped in the topic of the repetitive structures of everyday life.
Review: 'Source Code' Pours Hot Buttered Sci-Fi Philosophy On Your Popcorn
Movie Reviews By Scott Beggs on April 2, 2011 | Comments (4)If most thoughtful action films snagged a GED after dropping out of high school to train full time, Source Code is the kind of action film that went to college. Maybe it didn't make it much farther than sophomore year philosophy, but that's a good thing, because the movie knows how to drop some knowledge and still play a wicked, fun game of beer pong. Source Code is the best movie it could possibly be. Stream-lined and smart, refusing to condescend to its audience, filled with tense moments and active frustration – it may not have the hardest impact, but it's a movie that sticks in your brain even after you've tossed the popcorn bag into the trash. Jake Gyllenhaal plays Colter Stevens – an army helicopter pilot who wakes up on a train that's about to explode. He's confused, frightened in a way that won't allow him to show it, and when the train explodes, things get even weirder. He wakes up in a military training pod and told he has to go back in to find a bomb in order to stop another attack from happening.
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: April 1, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on April 2, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr recovers from a full day of watching Armageddon back-to-back to crawl back to the multiplex. He re-lived the last eight minutes of Source Code over and over, thoroughly confusing himself. Then he stumbled into the theater next door to learn about the true meaning of Easter from Russell Brand and James Marsden. Things take a decidedly creepy turn when he watches Insidious and wets himself more than once. This led to a very unfortunate scene while he watched the sexual-predator cautionary tale Trust. No one would believe him it was just wee wee.
Interview: Duncan Jones on the Ethics, Heroes, and Science of 'Source Code'
Features By Jack Giroux on March 31, 2011 | Be the First To CommentSource Code really solidifies a suspicion we all have had about director Duncan Jones: he's a real people person. Yes, unlike most sci-fi filmmakers, there is very little cynicism or dread to his films. While both Moon and his successful sophomore effort, Source Code, do explore the idea of man abusing science, ultimately, there's a huge amount of hope in his work. Not only that, but he follows generally fun and – if a tad flawed – good people. That's right, there's no mopey, emo action lead in Source Code. Colter Stevens, the hero of the film, is the Han Solo archetype. He's charming, brash, and sometimes, thinks more with his fists than his head. Stevens is quite similar to Duncan Jones's previous antagonist, Sam Bell. There's an everyman quality to both leads. They're not macho. They're not invincible. And they're both flawed individuals. Like Bell, Stevens doesn't shy away from acting like a jerk here and there. The predicament he's in – once again, just like Sam Bell – raises ethical questions. Although Source Code isn't entirely hardcore science-fiction, Jones does what all classical films of genre should do: ask a few questions. If you've ever seen Jones an interview before, then you already know he's a personable and fun-seeming filmmaker. He manages to take that upbeat spirit of his and interject that good nature in his films, and as was the case with Moon, it works. WARNING: This interview contains major spoilers.
Interview: Vera Farmiga On Being More Than The Talking Head of 'Source Code'
Features By Jack Giroux on March 29, 2011 | Comments (1)Colleen Goodwin is a risky character in Source Code. Goodwin is the most exposition-reliant character, and if she was handled wrongly, this GPS machine could have been the most ham-fisted character of the year. Nearly every line Goodwin has is exposition. As an actor, as Vera Farmiga discusses, walking a fine line of being a character instead of a device is no easy task. For exposition to generally work, it requires a sense of urgency. Considering most of Farmiga's screen time involves her talking on a computer screen, that must have made matters even more difficult. This type of exposition either flies or falls completely flat, so it was a smart move on Jones's part to hire a pro like Farmiga. Although Goodwin is the main key to explaining things for Jake Gyllenhaal's Colter (and for the audience), she's also important for raising the main ethical questions of the film. By the end, Goodwin makes for a bit more than a lifeless and pandering talking head. Here's what the well-spoken Vera Farmiga had to say about the art of bullshit, the difficulty of discussing Source Code, bringing realism to exposition, and more:
SXSW Review: Duncan Jones Sidesteps the Sophomore Slump with 'Source Code'
Movie Reviews By Luke Mullen on March 28, 2011 | Comments (2)If you don't know who Duncan Jones is, it's high time you learn. Jones burst onto the movie scene with his debut feature Moon, a low-budget sci-fi flick that wowed audiences at Sundance back in 2009. Picked up by Sony for US distribution, Moon is a subtle, quiet film featuring an incredible performance from Sam Rockwell, but the best part about it is that it's a smart film. With the bright shiny colors and backseat plot propelling Avatar to eleventy billion dollars worldwide, it's surprising that anyone rolled the dice on a small, smart sci-fi film. It's refreshing that someone had the balls to say "yes" and doubly refreshing that audiences mostly embraced it. Now Jones is back at the helm with about 35 million of Summit's hard-earned Twilight dollars to play with for his second feature, Source Code. Note: I saw Source Code blind and I think that's a good way to see this type of film. I'm told the trailer gives away basically the same information that I'll reveal below but it could be considered spoiler-y. If you'd rather go into not knowing anything, and I highly recommend that method of film-viewing, then please skip the next three paragraphs.
SXSW Interview: Jake Gyllenhaal on the Charms and Heroics of 'Source Code'
Features By Jack Giroux on March 24, 2011 | Be the First To CommentJake Gyllenhaal last foray into the action lead world wasn't exactly a successful one. If you don't know which film I'm referring to, it was the one where he had that interesting accent and played a prince of Persia. Still don't recall that film? Understandable. But a year after seeing it, you may actually still remember director Duncan Jones's Source Code and the lead hero of the film, Colter Stevens. Gyllenhaal is a charming guy. He's the type of person you could throw a stupid question at who would give you back an interesting or, at the very least, a funny answer. Gyllenhaal rarely gets to show these charms on the big screen, which is a shame, but Duncan Jones smartly allows him to. Gyllenhaal's Colter Stevens is the type of leading man all us nerds like: he's brash, witty, vulnerable, and even acts like a jerk at times. During a recent roundtable interview at SXSW we discussed what type of hero Colter is, Duncan Jones's style, the script, the ending, and what's going on with Nailed. There are a few spoilers, but they're all clearly labeled and skippable:
SXSW Interview: Michelle Monaghan Discusses 'Source Code', Hipsters, and Pee-wee Herman
Features By Jack Giroux on March 18, 2011 | Comments (1)Pee-wee Herman and hipsters were not topics of discussions I was looking to tackle with Michelle Monaghan. Knowing I only had 10-minutes with Monaghan, I wanted to make every second count… so obviously, discussing how hipster infested Austin is and how I just had a run in with Pee-wee 'frickin' Herman before the interview probably were somewhat of sidetracks, and so was some nice small talk at the beginning. As for Source Code, it's a tricky film to discuss. To fully delve into the film and its ideas, one most go into spoiler territory to get a fully meaty convo about the film, so beware of one or two spoiler alerts. But mainly, Monaghan and I briefly discuss Jake Gyllenhaal's grey area and likable hero, attempting to grasp unique ideas in script form, and the questions the film raises.
Movie News After Dark: Haywire, The Home, and What Really Happened Between the Trons
Movie News By Nathan Adams on March 14, 2011 | Comments (3)What is Movie News After Dark? This is a question that I am almost never asked, but I will answer it for you anyway. Movie News After Dark is FSR's late-night secretion, a column dedicated to all of the news stories that slip past our daytime editorial staff and make it into my curiously chubby RSS 'flagged' box. It will (but is not guaranteed to) include relevant movie news, links to insightful commentary and other film-related shenanigans. I may also throw in a link to something TV-related here or there. It will also serve as my place of record for being both charming and sharp-witted, but most likely I will be neither of the two. I write this stuff late at night, what do you expect?
I'm going to share something with you. I have a sick obsession with sex movies. I don't mean I always watch them with salacious intentions, because I have to draw the line between art and pornography somewhere. Let me be clear, I really enjoy a movie whose sole purpose is to titillate a viewer so much that they question what they are really watching. I've spent many nights snuggled up on my couch cringing my way through Catherine Breillat's many sex shockers. I made a boyfriend attend a viewing party for the highly controversial, yet exceptionally boring, 9 Songs. I've even gotten into fights with Netflix over its recommendation of Salo based on my high rating of Irreversible. Those last two movies have nothing in common, by the way. Sex-centric dramas have been a secret, back alley passion of mine. But in all my years devouring these movies, I rarely see comedies that both deal frankly with sex and show it. Sex is usually the butt of a joke in comedies, rather than a catalyst for moving a couple forward.
Duncan Jones's 'Source Code' To Open SXSW 2011
Movie News By Scott Beggs on December 16, 2010 | Comments (1)Last year, David Bowie's son directed a film about Sam Rockwell being stranded all alone on the other side of the moon while his equipment and his mind fell apart. It was brilliant. That's why it's so exciting to see that his new film Source Code will be premiering as the opening night gala feature for the SXSW Film Festival in March 2011. The film focuses on a government program that allows agents to enter into the bodies of other people in the last moments of their lives. The program is used to make Jake Gyllenhaal relive a horrific train bombing over and over again until he can stop it from happening. The official synopsis from the SXSW press release is as follows:
Find Out What Duncan Jones's 'Source Code' Is All About
Movie News By Scott Beggs on November 8, 2010 | Comments (2)The new synopsis for Source Code is essentially the entire set up for the main character, so don't read it if you consider that sort of thing a spoiler. Suffice it to say that this movie has great sci-fi potential both from the pedigree of the wacky Brit who gave us Moon and from the plot description below. It seems to expand on playing with time and reality in ways that were only hinted at in Moon. In short, it sounds great. The beefy synopsis from the American Film Market:

NAB (Booth #SU902)—Avid ® ( NASDAQ: AVID) today announced the debut of a new Multi-platform Distribution (MPD) solution to address the demands of viewers who are driving requirements for multi-screen media consumption. With content increasingly viewed through a variety of TV, online, social, and mobile channels, producers need the ability to distribute their media across multiple platforms with greater ease, speed, and efficiency.
Avid's MPD solution streamlines and enhances the process for journalists, producers and video editors who are creating and distributing content across multiple platforms. Leveraging Avid Interplay ® and iNEWS ®, this solution intelligently orchestrates the flow of assets and metadata through creation, transcode, and then delivery to web content management systems, online video platforms, and social media platforms. The solution uses existing Interplay and iNEWS functionality and web services APIs to cost efficiently adapt to a wide range of different customer environments and needs.
"The market requires solutions that empower media companies to cast a wider net with their content reaching viewers in an anytime, anywhere, any device and on-demand environment while providing agility to content creators such as journalists to work seamlessly through the creation, management and publishing process. Such solutions are few and far between," said Mukul Krishna, global director of Digital Media for Frost & Sullivan. "The Avid Multi-platform Distribution solution is an important extension to its asset management portfolio, giving users the ability to address an ever-widening array of consumer and content outlets."
According to Nielsen's 2011 "State of the Media: Consumer Usage Report," 40 percent of U.S. mobile device owners watch TV across multiple screens today, and 30 million Americans watch TV on their phones. In order to attract, retain and engage viewers, this new Avid MPD solution gives journalists and video editors a simple unified user interface to create content once, then publish it directly to the right platform, in the right format, with the right metadata.

I've heard they are great for our zone, I haven't been able to find any online except for mail-order...and that's complicated, I don't know if the plants will be small and stuff...now obviously I can't plant any now that's it's almost December, but is it worth to contact a local nursuries and see if they can try to get some in the spring,so that they are somewhat substaintial in size already, I'm sure they'd be a hit up here, yet nobody seems to know they exist..... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Oath, I found my Chuck Haye's at a nursery on the Outer Banks of North Carolina...if you're ever down that way:-)It's too bad they're so difficult to find locally. Mine was a nice size and I think I paid 20.00$ for it. I would imagine that nurseries around the southern part of Virginia would carry them as well. Otherwise, I would absolutely talk to some local nurseries and ask if they'd stock them. I planted mine last year and it grew and flowered quite well this year. (I want more)It's in a sunny spot on the south facing side of my house, near the brick foundation. |
Hi Oath, I bought my "Chuck Hayes" from Woodlanders.net several years ago. It was a pretty good size when it arrived and is still going strong. ~Tom |
Thanks for the input, I'll definely try to contact some local nurseries and see if they can try to get it, and that website is rather remarkable, lots of interesting plants. |
I'd call Behnke's and ask to speak to the woody plants specialist. At the Beltsville location, he is pretty knowledgeable and should be able to tell you if Behnke's has them on order for the spring season. Or if not, why not. |

Thirty-two participants from community health centers will be selected for the program. The program is designed for Chief Executive Officers, Executive Directors and others in the leadership team, such as Chief Operating Officer, Chief Medical Officer, and Chief Financial Officer. Organizations are encouraged to send multiple individuals from the leadership team. Applicants must have a minimum of two years at their current organization, or if less than two years, one year as an executive or director with previous health care experience.
A fundamental element of the program is the required in-person involvement of the organization's Board or Community Coalition Chair. During the last 2½ days of the program, these "co-participants" collaborate with the executive of the organization to formulate the CHIP.
We invite you to apply for the 2015 UCLA/Johnson & Johnson Health Care Executive Program. Selection is based on the quality of applications submitted to UCLA.

Michael Dave February 2, 2013 Politics 5 Comments If conservatives ever need an example of why young people are running from them it is stuff like this Tea Party Community website that looks just like Facebook. Okay, okay, I get it you don't like the censorship. If you run from culture you will just continue to play into the stereotype the media has already set up and you are falling right into their hands to allow them to continue to define you and your message! This is a BAD IDEA! RUN!!! You can not change minds and get your message out by separating from culture. By moving away from things like Twitter and Facebook, you are hiding yourself, you will be viewed as cowards and the media will continue to spin this as conservatives running to their bubbles and hiding from the truth. The media doesn't care about truth but this plays right into the media's hand. STOP IT! http://www.black-and-right.com/ Bob Parks Actually, Myke, our newest contributor made this observation. bp GoodMojo1 I had not thought about this, in those terms Bob, but I have to agree. That being said, to fellow conservatives: If you find anything on a site such as fb, twitter, or youtube, that liberals might find particularly offensive (Like anything with the ring of truth.), consider downloading it to you own computer for safe keeping (Be careful, of course.) so you can repost it after the censorship. http://www.black-and-right.com/ Bob Parks Actually, Michael, our newest contributor made this observation. bp koala It's probably not real anyway. Rick_Won I tried to look at the site and keep getting this error: "www.teapartycommunity.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided." If they can't set their site up then I'm not joining. You comments about a bad idea is one I hadn't considered, but you are right. The liberals always want us to shut up and sit down and joining this other forum is playing into their hands, as you mentioned. Thanks for the insight.

KANPUR: Metropolitan magistrate Mohammad Firoz, on Friday, granted judicial remand to lawyer Saurabh Verma, who had shot dead an S-I and injured a police constable on Thursday.
The Naubasta police had arrested Verma and brought him at police lines near the court where metropolitan magistrate took him under judicial custody. The judicial official was earlier appointed by chief metropolitan magistrate Peeyush Pandey.
The CMM said that he had information that some lawyers were planning to thrash Verma in the court premises. To avoid violence in court he asked the metropolitan magistrate to go to the police lines and grant judicial custody to the accused.
The Naubasta police had registered two cases against Saurabh Verma. In one case, the police charged him under Section 307/302/332/353/506 IPC (attempt to murder, murder, causing obstruction in performing duty, and attacking on public servant while in another case it charged him under Section 25/30 Arms Act.
Saurabh Verma was caught and brought to police station on the complaint of his father Ram Nath Verma, a resident of Kesar Vihar in Naubasta. Sub-inspector Devendra Kumar Singh took him from his house to Naubasta police outpost. During investigation, Saurabh whipped out his licensed revolver and fired two shots on SI. Two bullets pierced into the head of SI who fell on the ground. Thereafter, he fired and injured another cop Mohandas Baghel and fired another shot on constable Satyabhan. Who survived as Saurabh missed the target.
The lawyers condemned the act and decided not to appear before the court on behalf of Verma. Meanwhile, a group of lawyers had decided to teach him a lesson for defaming the profession. They visited several times the court of CMM and inquired about him. Sensing trouble, the CMM asked metropolitan magistrate Mohammad Firoz to take the lawyer under judicial custody outside the court.
At the time of custody remand, the cops apprised the judge that accused was a hardcore criminal and had a criminal history. He was involved in dacoity and loot.

Research degrees are best planned by individual discussion, so if you have a particular subject area in mind, please contact a staff member working in your area of interest in the first instance. See 'Research interests' for more information.
The MA by Research programme requires you to prepare a dissertation of up to 40,000 words on a topic of your choice, for which an academic staff member will provide expert supervision.
The PhD – the most advanced research degree – leads to a dissertation of up to 80,000 words on a subject of your choice and under the expert supervision of an academic member of staff.
You can study an MA by Research or PhD programme on campus or by Distance Learning.
Current research topics range from questions such as how England became a Protestant nation in the 16th century to why smoking played such an important role in 20th century life. Whatever your interest, whether it is cultural or social history, military or political history, economic or religious history, there is someone available to supervise your research.
At Birmingham you also have the option of studying languages, free of charge. Almost no other UK University offers you the opportunity to learn the intense graduate academic language skills which you may need to pursue your research.
Sam Humphries "I chose the Masters Research programme as it gave me the chance to pursue my own research project within a lively, resourceful and respected academic department. It combined the necessary taught elements and group discussion to hone and develop my academic research skills alongside working independently to make my project happen.
The course however offered lots more than I hoped for. It taught me crucial methodological understandings about how historians work and how to deploy and engage with them in my own research. These modules, alongside the fellow students and staff in the Centre, changed my work and approach to the subject for the better in ways I could not have conceived beforehand, changing my project fundamentally. The environment with passionate individuals each able to help you with your work has been immensely rewarding.
The course also helps develop the ability to work autonomously and critically assess your own standards and approaches to the subject. It is tough yet immensely rewarding as it offers up opportunities that would never have materialised otherwise. The Masters Research programme helped me pursue my interest in history further alongside helping me to think creatively and to apply these ideas to my work and life."

Hi. I've been lurking for about five years or so...and just in the last few months made an acct. This is my first pic post...so i hope it goes okay.
I had an old beige Adirondack chair that was like five or six yrs old. (sorry no before pics:( ) On my back deck I put out things that look "sea-ish" or sorta nautical. So, I sprayed it with plastic spray paint and added this quote. |

what a great idea |
Beautifully done. I love the quote. I can just hear Cousteau saying it. |
Welcome out of lurkdom! Great job with the chair, I have a few of those around that could use a facelift. Looking forward to seeing more of your 'junk'! Sheryll |
Welcome to the forum! I love the nautical theme, the colors & the quote! I could see this on a porch with netting & windchimes made of sea shells :o) |

ky...that is really cool! Nice paint job & love the quote...perfect for your nautical themed porch! WELCOME & TFS your pic! Jeanne S. |

Very lovely! What a neat idea. |
Do you live in ky??? |
great job! the lettering in the quote is awesome & especially so if you did it freehand. |
Thank you so much for all the kind comments! Leveta...no I don't live in KY, kylslil1 is actually a name given to me by my husband. It should read Kyle's Little One. When i first met my husband I was exactly half his weight and a foot shorter. So, my husband called me his little one. Kinda stuck.:) |
The lettering is especially well-done. -Sprout |
Very attractive & nice job on lettering, like the wavy look on arms & little white beading around back of chair!! Welcome to the GJ forum!! Jan |

Great job! The dots along the back almost looked like studs. Gives it a classy look and is a great contrast against the dark blue. What a great quote too! I would never think to use a quote on something in the garden but it makes so much sense. Was that a plastic Andirondack chair? If so, that sure a great idea for sprucing it up and adding more life to it! |
- Posted by marlene_2008 7 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 24, 10 at 14:55
Looks like a brand new chair...very chic! |
- Posted by laurastheme (My Page) on Sat, Jul 24, 10 at 21:28
I LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT! I'm really into quotes, especially in the garden. |

Welcome to the GJ forum. Your chair is adorable, I've always loved that style of chair. You really dressed it up, it would look great at a lake house too. Frou |
that is very cool! Last week I think, I saw a link from the Crafty Chica website where a company is sending out Adirondak (is that right?) chairs for different artists to 'redo' - this one lady put a wedding ring quilt motif on hers and it was pretty neat. I really like yours, I've never been much of a fan of the plastic chairs, but then again, I never thought of changing them in any way - thank you for opening me to other possibilities.... I just love this forum!!! Everyone's creativity and willingness to share ideas and brainstorm, its just wonderful!! |
Arr, matey, yer on the right track. Here's my favorite nautical joke: Seamommy |
I LOVE QUOTES!! the chair looks great!! I may have to "borrow" that quote down the road as my nautical themed bed develops..... |
Again, thank you all for such nice comments. Cheryl, I have to admit I completely laughed out loud at that joke.:) |

Welcome out of Lurkdom! You might have set a record for being there so long, LOL. Now you can't go back! Especially after showing us what cool things you can do. Great chair. |
Welcome and thanks for showing us your great chair. Well done. |

Specials on Cozumel vacation rentals
Cozumel Mexico street map online!
Learn more about Cozumel on Facebook and Pinterest and
"Quick Guide" to Cozumel rentals
There's information on Cozumel vacation villas and rentals, a street map, a map of the island, photos, Cozumel beaches, Cozumel weddings, Cozumel restaurant reviews, English speaking church services, plus what to do on your Cozumel vacation from scuba diving to sport fishing. We even have information about some Cozumel real estate for sale
The main square and downtown area There is really only one city on Cozumel and although the name is San Miguel, most simply refer to it as Cozumel. The downtown and main square is a beautiful area with lovely shops for jewelry, T-shirts and exciting Mexican and Mayan decorations and souvenirs. There are also a number of great restaurants downtown, plus banks and ATM machines, pharmacies and shops with handicrafts, leather and silver. Be sure to visit the square Sunday evening where there is fun, fiestas and music to enjoy. Off the main oceanfront street there are wide sidewalks, inviting you back to visit some of the many shops and restaurants that are are on the first couple of blocks back from the ocean.
Ferry to the Mainland Right across from the main square is the dock where you can catch a ferry to the mainland. The trip takes about 35 minutes, and the ferry takes you to Playa del Carmen. From there you can take a bus to Cancun, Tulum, Ek Balam, Xcaret, Xel-Ha or other sites in the Yucatan.
South of the main square, a lighthouse and public beach About 1 1/2 miles south of the main square there is a lighthouse and a public beach area called Playa Caletitas. There are even outdoor showers and a restaurant.
North of the main square past a public beach and toward the Marina area About 1 1/2 miles north of the main square and you will come to a public beach, Playa Casitas. If you continue for another mile you'll find the north marina, the Abrigo, where many of the fishing boats and other boats are docked.
Click below to take a look at a number of other Cozumel beaches and beach clubs. Cozumel Beaches
The Corpus Christi Residential Area Many consider the nicest residential area on Cozumel the area referred to as Corpus Christi.
It includes an area between the large church on 20th Ave. South (photo at left) and the waterfront street, Ave. Rafael Melgar. The Corpus Christi area is about 3/4 mile south of the main square and is a several blocks wide, extending from 11th street on the north to about 23rd street on the south and from the ocean to Ave. 20. In general, property in this area is more expensive than in most other areas of Cozumel.
The area is within walking distance to the downtown main square, close to two very large grocery stores, a number of restaurants, a 6 screen cinema and within walking distance to Playa Caletita, a local in-town public beach. The closer you are to the ocean of course, the higher the cost of the land. You will find a few very popular vacation rental villas in Corpus Christi, but the majority of the homes here are private residences.

Photographs are taking an ever-more important place in my life; perhaps they are in yours as well. I'm talking about photographs that I've taken of events, people, and scenes in my life--for better or worse, they are the "proof of life" for me.
Four things have led to this increased documentation: 1) my husband bought me a great camera for Christmas in 2009; 2) my son, Jesse, has a similar camera and shares tips with me; 3) I began attending a workshop once a month where several women get together to work on scrapbooks and talk photos and family; 4) there is so much to see in the world and I want to remember the scenes, events, and people who are so important to me.
I now take photos on my Canon Rebel, iPhone, a small Cannon Powershot that I keep in my purse, and a Diana+ camera. When we go on vacation, I want to take them all! The room I save by bringing my books on an e-reader is now lost to cameras… hmmmm….
Anyway, this morning I went through and picked out a few of my favorite photos thus far this year. They aren't necessarily the best photos, but they are the ones that have meaning for me. Here they are with short descriptions…
In February, Jesse visited and, when out for a drive, we stopped at a small cemetery that held the remains of soldiers of the American Revolution, War of 1812, and Civil War. It was very meaningful to me to take photos there with my son. Later in the year, I joined ancestry.com and began researching our family history. This has been a wonderful project, full of interesting surprises.
In 2010, Mark and I ate at L'Albatross in University Circle area of Cleveland, Ohio. I had squash soup and it was the best soup I'd ever had in my whole life. So delicious that at the performance of the Cleveland Orchestra later that night, I kept thinking about the soup. I longed to have more! So, this past February I found a recipe and made squash soup and, yes, it was every bit as good. This was also during Jesse's visit and he advised me to take photos of food from the side, a little above the side, rather than straight down. It was a very helpful tip!
Jesse recommended Joe McNally's book to me, and I purchased LIFE Guide to Digital Photography and learned to adjust the F-stop and ISO settings, and turn off the flash. I also got better at setting up the tripod.
I love trees and luckily have scores of them nearby to look at and photograph. I liked the thinner trunk winding against this stronger trunk, and the photo looks better in black and white.
On a very cold March day, this little bird waited patiently for his turn at the bird feeder. After taking several blurry photos, I broke down and got out the tripod and told myself I just must use it straight away next time, and get quick at setting it up, like those soldiers who can assemble their rifles in a few seconds!
Another tree photo: I love the way the branches look like lace against the sky. This is my favorite tree in our yard.
Before the leaves returned to our trees, we went to New Orleans. I had recently learned I could take photos from the plane! Here is one using the "fish eye" option on the Powershot.
One of my favorite photos from New Orleans. I can look at this and immediately remember everything about being at Cafe Du Monde!
In New Orleans I purchased several toy horses. I love the way they look here on the hotel windowsill.
In Cleveland, near Beachwood, we stopped at sunrise to get gas. I like the emptiness of the scene above.
Just before spring, one of my favorite local restaurants burnt to the ground: The Coffee Cup, in Nelsonville, Ohio. It had been around for decades. These dishes sat outside for many weeks and I stopped one day and took a photo.
Our parrot, Gracie, loves to watch soccer. We had a great time watching the Women's World Cup this year.
Twice a month I pass through central Ohio where the land is quite flat and dotted with these huge pylons. I've taken photos of them in many seasons. A friend on Facebook asked for pylon photos from around the world for a boy who collects them. I sent this one. I then learned that there are many people who are enthusiastic about pylons. Who knew?!
I love to take photos of trees. This photo means something special to me because it is one offshoot of a much larger tree, which fell recently during a storm. That's why there are so few branches on the near side of this trunk; the other tree was right there. This tree still stands, hopeful and flexible. I also read "A Widow's Story" by Joyce Carol Oates this year and this tree reminds me of her.
I learned from Jesse and Kim Austin about the Hipstamatic app for iPhone. Here is a photo, above, of Mary B's in Parkersburg, WV.
I also learned that when I can't get the camera to do something I want it to do, that I likely haven't learned enough about the settings, such as the sports setting. It enabled me to capture this butterfly's fast moving wings. I was so entranced with the many photos I took of her, that it was only yesterday I realized she is injured; part of her left wing is missing!
The photo above was taken on my last drive across central Ohio on an overcast Saturday morning. There are still 4 months left to the year, and many more photos to take!
Have a great weekend,
All photos copyright 2011 by Janice Phelps Williams. All rights reserved.
Janice, this is a wonderful and wide ranging (in terms of subject matter) photo essay! I think it's very enjoyable to capture a host of subjects and one type of photography can give one ideas for other areas. Friend and fellow OSer Dave McLane told me about the books by Joe McNally earlier this year and I purchased several of his titles including the one you mentioned. I also never realized the towers that hold up the high voltage lines are called pylons. There are a few around here, especially the ones that head into NYC from upstate. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing more!
