Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said Monday that UK was in "decent shape" injury-wise going into Saturday's game.
"I think everybody is a little bit banged up," he said.
Receiver/returner Demarco Robinson hurt his ankle on the opening kickoff return against Miami (Ohio) last week and did not return. He's averaging 28.2 yards per kickoff return and 27 yards per punt return. He also had five catches for 69 yards and one score in UK's opening game. Stoops said he was "not sure yet" about his status for this week.
He did indicate that sophomore cornerback Cody Quinn, out most of the preseason with a sprained ankle, "will be back full speed this week." He played only briefly against Miami.
"He was ready to go last week in an emergency situation. He was ready to go if we needed him," Stoops said. "I think he should be healthy and ready to go. That will help give us a little bit of depth. I think Nate (Willis) is getting his legs underneath him, starting to get in shape and playing better."
Stoops offered no update on linebacker Kory Brown, who did not play last week after being injured against Western Kentucky.

Councilman Leroy Comrie, second from left, was honored on Nov. 19 by the Queens County Young Democrats for outstanding public service and his support of the organization. Comrie, who has represented the St. Albans area on the City Council for 12 years, is being forced out of office by term limits.
Appearing with the councilman are, at left, Jamal Wilkerson, the group's vice president of diversity and outreach; chapter President Nick Roloson; and Executive Vice President Hersh Parekh.
The ceremony, which also paid tribute to outgoing City Comptroller John Liu, took place at Sangria's in Jamaica.
"We have worked together on many issues, and every time it has been great to see so many young people continue to be politically engaged," Comrie said. "It was a privilege to be honored by them and I encourage others to become involved in the organization."

We want to put a storage shed in the backyard to store our lawn mower (not a riding mower), wheel barrow and kids bikes (and maybe some additional small things).
We were thinking maybe an 8x8 or similar size. We can't get too big. We would prefer wood. We need it to be pleasing to the eye because the only place we have to put it will be visible from our kitchen window. Anyone have suggestions? We don't mind ordering online and building ourselves. Thanks for any and all help/suggestions. Jody |

You can head over to Home Depot or Lowe's to look at them or look at the brochures. I can understand about wanting it to be pleasing to the eyes. I will eventually get one but the problem is that my lot is not flat so there's very limited spots for it and with 8 feet easement along back fence, it's pretty close to the house by the back patio so it has to be nice looking one.... |
- Posted by rick_mcdaniel Lewisville, TX (My Page) on Wed, May 6, 09 at 11:33
HD has one that is nice, tall enough for comfort, small enough to fit in well, and decently constructed. (They construct on site.) If you are pretty handy with tools, you can start from scratch, of course. |
Just a thought for aesthetics: Could you add a small covered porch on the side facing your kitchen for a couple of rockers or other seating with hanging baskets or planter boxes? Otherwise, head over to the gallery and see some of the ways bossjim manages to cover any flat surface with beautiful blooming things! |
Unfortunately, starting from scratch is not an option. I have a 3 yr old & 1.5 yr old that would make such a start-from-scratch project take a year to do instead of just a weekend like a prefab unit. We just had a large flagstone patio installed, so don't really need a porch on the storage shed. I was thinking of putting a little window with a planter box on the side facing the house and putting some landscaping around it to help with the looks. Thanks for the suggestion though...if we didn't just have a patio installed, I would seriously think about the porch idea! |

For cost comparison (with readymades and HD-type sheds) you might check your local paper for a reliable handyman (or word of mouth) and have him out to discuss a design/plan. I personally think that storage buildings look best if they resemble the main house as though they were an addition, using the same style, colors and materials. Will you have a slab poured for it, or are you looking for something with a somewhat raised wooden floor that would sit on blocks or something? Another option, if you design it yourselves and have someone build it, is to include a small greenhouse attached to one side of it if you enjoy starting plants early from seed or need a place to store 'tropicals' in the winter, etc. And of course the roof can be a source for collecting rainwater and/or can be powered off a small independent solar panel rather than running an electric line from the house. |

Hi Jody, You might try www.shedplans101.com for plans if you want to build your own. Or www.todaysplans.com has a link to storage shed plans. Also has links to prefab sheds and local shed builders. There are other plans available, from playhouses and treehouses to garages/barns. If you decide to go with plans, try to get one with a material list and cutting list. Lonny |

I've had two sheds built (two different houses).In Austin there are several small companies who specialize in shed building. They have a crew come in and in less than a day, the whole thing is built on site and painted to match your house. |

I have a Tough Shed. I think it's wonderful. It looks great and honestly is built as well as my house. It going to last a very long time. I'm sure it cost more than other sheds. But it really seems worth it. |

I just had a Tuff Shed built. It is wonderful. Only problem is I thought the ground was level, because there had been an old metal shed there. However, it wasn't and now the front of my shed is elevated about 18 inches up off the ground in order to be level with the back. Any ideas how to dress up the front so it doesn't look like it is just sitting on cinder blocks? |
- Posted by lynnmariep86 8 DFW (My Page) on Mon, May 24, 10 at 15:05
My advice is to think about where it will be in the yard carefully. You have to think about the sunlight it will block out if you may want to plant near it in the future, and the view it will block. Ours is next to the house and it blocks half the yard from view. Wish I'd thought of that first! Our neighbor has one against our fence and it blocks all the much needed sun in the winter. I wish he'd asked me before he built his! |

There are many wood shed kits available online for the do it yourself project. However, keep in mind that wood sheds require yearly maintenance and are susceptible to the elements and termites. They can become a costly structure. Have you considered a metal or vinyl shed kit. These types of materials are much more affordable and do not require maintenance. Metal sheds by Arrow Sheds are available online and come in kit form. For vinyl sheds I would recommend a DuraMax vinyl shed. Both metal and vinyl sheds come with a 12 or 15 year warranty and are available in kit form. They also come in many sizes and colors to match your home and backyard garden landscape. |

We found a shed that was reasonably priced at Home Depot and had it built late this summer. We chose a style that would blend well with the property and our home (white brick with black shutters). Our property is on a slope so the crew leveled the shed by simply adding concrete blocks. We have not had a chance to landscape around it, but will do so this spring. This experience with Home Depot was very satisfactory for us. Molly |

My husband, Leif, never imagined after a decade of marriage that he'd wake up and find his role had shifted from spouse to caregiver.
In the wake of a difficult diagnosis, he spent long hours driving me to hundreds of doctors' appointments, watched me endure brutal medical treatments, and took over countless everyday tasks when I could no longer care for myself.
Leif has been my rock through the past painful 15 months. But, as any caregiver understands, it hasn't come without a price. You'll catch glimpses of this in the Fight Back With Joy and Bible study releasing January 6. Pre-order your copy today and receive some awesome gifts.

I just bought a fig tree from Walmart. It is about 4 feet tall with 3 or 4 strong branches with several leaves. It is labeled as Celetial fig - I guess that would mean Celeste? The tag labels it as 'Part Sun (3-6 hours)'. However, I am reading conflicting things on the internet. I am in Raleigh, Nc. Should I plant it in Full Sun or not? And how do I prepare the planting hole - what to add (the soil is mostly clay here)? Thanks for any advice. |

- Posted by GardenHelp none (My Page) on Tue, May 14, 13 at 16:30
I grow a fig that is not in full sun. It is receives probably 6 hours of sunlight a day and grows fine. Break up the clay with compost - either homemade or bought. |
3-6 Hours in the deep south,like New Orleans,and south Texas,but full sun in the temperate climates of North east. In NC,full sun is OK,to ripe fruits ,in good condition. It is not only about growing the plant,it is about ripening the fruits,That is why it needs sun in the north. |
- Posted by nirenjoshi 7b (My Page) on Wed, May 15, 13 at 11:04
Thanks. I will put it in full sun then. |

Sound Test
Pulling out the TES 1350A Sound Level Meter, we find ourselves quickly yelling into the top of it to see how loud we can be.
After five minutes of that we get a bit more serious and place the device two CM away from the fan on the card to find the maximum noise level of the card when idle (2D mode) and in load (3D mode).
While the fan might be small, the good news is that it's not loud. The idle and load numbers are good. NVIDIA could have clearly made the card run louder and cooler if they wanted.
We feel that they've found a good balance here, though. We're more looking forward to seeing what companies like MSI and ASUS do with the cooler.

Had exactly the same issue myself yesterday at the same garage. Flip front helmet flipped up so face was in full view. I actually got some fuel out of the pump before it was turned off so u went to the kiosk to see if there was a problem with the pump. I was told by a rather unhelpful, bordering on rude cashier that they had been told by Birkenhead police station to insist that bikers take helmets off - never heard so much rubbish - paid for the 69p worth of fuel I had managed to dispense & left - won't be rushing ack to shell any time soon either with my bike or cars and will advise others the same!

One of my favorites
I have this jacket in Citrine Yellow and I love it. The quilted stitching and amount of down makes for a flattering (not bulky at all) fit, and the attention to detail makes it stand out from other down jackets. It is versatile in that it can be worn on really cold or warm(ish) days- just layer accordingly and you will be comfortable. I am 5'9" and the medium fits perfectly.

Thanks guys. As for doing the gig, we're on hold, & we've pretty much left the call up to our singer (Oz's life long best friend). We have to respect his headspace, & that will depend on what happens over the next 24 hours or so.
Oz has now been in surgery for nearly 4 hours. Believe it or not, that's viewed as a pre - op. They'd pretty much given up on him earlier today, but they've decided to give it one last shot. If he makes it off the table, they'll air lift him to QE2 in Birmingham (a specialist centre). He's hanging by a thread. This really f&%^ing sucks, & I haven't had dry eyes all day.

Starting October 11, you'll be able to pick up one, two, or all three magazine covers if you'd like. In the November issue, Lucky catches up with the Kim, Khlo and Kourt to talk weddings, clothes and plans for total global domination.
We know you all must be as excited as we are to pick up a copy of all three covers, so we thought we'd share a few snippets from the inside scoop they shared in their interview.
Kourtney on her relationship with her sisters:
"At the end of the day, we are obsessed with each other and would do anything for each other."Khloe on how they manage their many projects:
"None of us could do this by ourselves."Kim on her family's openness:
"I don't think we realized how open we would allow ourselves to be, but we made a pact with the whole family that we were going to be 100 percent ourselves."The sisters also shared their thoughts on the fashionable clothes they wear for each of their covers -- a topic they're very familiar with since launching their own Kardashian Kollection line.
Whose cover will you pick up? Or will you grab a copy of all three? Let us know by voting in the poll for your favorite!

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

The Dragon Lives Again (Chinese: 李三腳威震地獄門, originally released as Li san jiao wei zhen di yu men and also known as Deadly Hands of Kung Fu, is a martial arts fantasy comedy in which the soul of Bruce Lee (played by Bruce Leung Siu-lung) goes to the Underworld. The deceased Lee meets a number of pop-culture icons, including Dracula, James Bond, Zatoichi, Clint Eastwood, The Godfather, Laurel and Hardy, The Exorcist, and even 1970s soft-porn character Emmanuelle. Lee befriends The One-Armed Swordsman, Caine from TV's Kung Fu, and Popeye.
The film begins with the announcement, "This film is dedicated to millions who love Bruce Lee."
After his untimely death, Bruce Lee (Bruce Leung Siu-lung) wakes up to find himself in the "Underworld". He meets the King of the Underworld and questions his power. The King demonstrates his displeasure by shaking a pole that can cause an earthquake through the Underworld, which gives Bruce pause.
Bruce goes to a restaurant, where he meets Kwai Chang Caine from the TV show Kung Fu and cartoon sailor Popeye. He also meets Dracula, James Bond, Zatoichi, and Clint Eastwood, with whom he does not become friends. These pop culture characters, along with The Godfather, The Exorcist, and Emmanuelle, are planning a coup to take over the Underworld. Among their schemes, the characters send Emmanuelle to have energetic sex with the womanizing King in the hopes that he will have a heart attack.
Bruce defeats the bad guys, but is angered by the King's repeated use of his dangerous earthquake-inducing pole. Bruce threatens to kill the King unless the King lets him go back to Earth, which he does.
Of the cast, Eric Tsang, who played Popeye the sailor, now has an extremely successful acting career in the Hong Kong film industry, gaining popularity in the Lucky Stars series (My Lucky Stars, Twinkle, Twinkle Lucky Stars), and appearing in a number of films with Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. More recently, he won acclaim for his role in the Infernal Affairs trilogy. He has won a Golden Horse Award and two Hong Kong Film Awards.
Alexander Grand, who plays James Bond, is billed as "Champion-boxer of Europe.", while the actress who plays Emmanuelle is only billed as "Jenny, Emmanuelle of N. Europe."
Many contemporary critics have shown affection for The Dragon Lives Again. Nobody calls it great filmmaking, but most applaud it for its ridiculousness and surreality. In his three-part essay about Bruceploitation for Impact Magazine, Dean Meadows said:
"The Dragon Lives Again was one of the greatest and craziest of all Bruce Lee exploitation movies. Featuring the lesser known Bruce Liang, this was tongue in cheek from start to finish with a synopsis that was and still is unbelievable. The Little Dragon has passed over and is in purgatory anticipating judgement from the gods. Whilst there he tangles with a vast array of fictionalised and popular characters, all awaiting their individual fate. Bond is there. That¹s right, James Bond, along with "prince of darkness" Dracula and erotic icon, Emmanuelle. Now if that wasn't wacky enough, Bruce teams up with his good friends, Kwai Chang Caine and wait for it ... Popeye to defeat the enemy! Of course the Little Dragon does have a secret weapon, known simply as "the third leg of Bruce" (ouch!). The movie was dedicated to all fans of the great master, but whilst hilarious today, audiences would fail to see the humour at the time of its release."[1]
In a review for Film Threat, Phil Hall awarded the film a generous four stars out of a possible five:
"What any of this has to do with Bruce Lee's legacy is never entirely clear. But when you have a scenario when Clint Eastwood and James Bond are trying to take over a Chinese purgatory and Bruce Lee calls on Popeye the Sailor to help save the day (not counting the interlude for the cast to talk about Bruce Lee's penis!), it would seem that cogent and coherent thought is not high on the priority list. The Dragon Lives Again will probably annoy enthusiasts of martial arts films and the diehard fans of Bruce Lee, but it will provide endless amusement for those who enjoy watching crazy films while filling their systems with endless mugs of beer or puffs of weed."[2]

By LIZ VACCARIELLO, Reader's Digest:
"Good Morning America" is teaming up with Reader's Digest on a special series, "13 Things Experts Won't Tell You." This month, Reader's Digest unveils the 13 secrets your airline pilot won't tell you that will change the way you fly, plus one bonus tip.
We asked 17 pilots from across the country to give us straight answers about maddening safety rules, inexplicable delays, the air and attitudes up there—and what really happens behind the cockpit door. What they told us will change the way you fly.
"We miss the peanuts too." –US Airways pilot, South Carolina
What You Don't Want to Know
"I'm constantly under pressure to carry less fuel than I'm comfortable with. Airlines are always looking at the bottom line, and you burn fuel carrying fuel. Sometimes if you carry just enough fuel and you hit thunderstorms or delays, then suddenly you're running out of gas and you have to go to an alternate airport." -Captain at a major airline
"Sometimes the airline won't give us lunch breaks or even time to eat. We have to delay flights just so we can get food." -First officer on a regional carrier
"We tell passengers what they need to know. We don't tell them things that are going to scare the pants off them. So you'll never hear me say, 'Ladies and gentlemen, we just had an engine failure,' even if that's true." -Jim Tilmon, retired American Airlines pilot, Phoenix
"The Department of Transportation has put such an emphasis on on-time performance that we pretty much aren't allowed to delay a flight anymore, even if there are 20 people on a connecting flight that's coming in just a little late." -Commercial pilot, Charlotte, N.C.
"The truth is, we're exhausted. Our work rules allow us to be on duty 16 hours without a break. That's many more hours than a truck driver. And unlike a truck driver, who can pull over at the next rest stop, we can't pull over at the next cloud." -Captain at a major airline
What We Want You to Know
"Some FAA rules don't make sense to us either. Like the fact that when we're at 39,000 feet going 400 miles an hour, in a plane that could hit turbulence at any minute, [flight attendants] can walk around and serve hot coffee and Chateaubriand. But when we're on the ground on a flat piece of asphalt going five to ten miles an hour, they've got to be buckled in like they're at NASCAR." -Jack Stephan, US Airways captain based in Annapolis, Md., who has been flying since 1984
"The two worst airports for us: Reagan National in Washington, D.C., and John Wayne in Orange County, Calif. You're flying by the seat of your pants trying to get in and out of those airports. John Wayne is especially bad because the rich folks who live near the airport don't like jet noise, so they have this noise abatement procedure where you basically have to turn the plane into a ballistic missile as soon as you're airborne." -Pilot, South Carolina
"At some airports with really short runways, you're not going to have a smooth landing no matter how good we are: John Wayne Airport; Jackson Hole, Wyoming; Chicago Midway; and Reagan National." -Joe D'Eon, a pilot at a major airline who produces a podcast at flywithjoe.com
"I may be in uniform, but that doesn't mean I'm the best person to ask for directions in the airport. We're in so many airports that we usually have no idea." -Pilot for a regional carrier, Charlotte, N.C.
"This happens all the time: We'll be in Pittsburgh going to Philly, and there will be a weather delay. The weather in Pittsburgh is beautiful. Then I'll hear passengers saying, 'You know, I just called my friend in Philly, and it's beautiful there too,' like there's some kind of conspiracy or something. But in the airspace between Pittsburgh and Philly there's a huge thunderstorm." -Jack Stephan
"You may go to an airline website and buy a ticket, pull up to its desk at the curb, and get onto an airplane that has a similar name painted on it, but half the time, you're really on a regional airline. The regionals aren't held to the same safety standards as the majors: Their pilots aren't required to have as much training and experience, and the public doesn't know that." -Captain at a major airline
"Most of the time, how you land is a good indicator of a pilot's skill. So if you want to say something nice to a pilot as you're getting off the plane, say 'Nice landing.' We do appreciate that." -Joe D'Eon
"No, it's not your imagination: Airlines really have adjusted their flight arrival times so they can have a better record of on-time arrivals. So they might say a flight takes two hours when it really takes an hour and 45 minutes." -AirTran Airways captain, Atlanta

Having received the Tea Guild's prestigious award for 'Top London Afternoon Tea 2012', the Athenaeum promises a delectable dining experience.

While the Regent's Park Honey Tea, ideal for those with a sweet tooth, has been created using honey gathered from the bees of London's Royal Parks and provides a number of honey based treats. Starting with a glass of honey fizz, diners will then be served a selection of sandwiches, scones and crumpets. However, the highlight is the finale: a constellation of honey based desserts that include a moist honey cake, rich honey cheesecake and light but creamy lavender macaroons.

Billy Bob Thornton May Dish About Angelina Jolie in 'And Then We Drove'
In Development By Nathan Adams on February 14, 2012 | Be the First To CommentBack in 1996 when Billy Bob Thornton directed his first feature, Sling Blade, I thought that he had made his mark and was going to become one of the big directors working in Hollywood. That never happened, though. After that he only directed the Cormac McCarthy adaptation All the Pretty Horses in 2000 and then Daddy and Them, a movie I don't even remember existing, in 2001. I guess the guy just decided that he'd rather be an actor than a director. And that's fine, but now that he's getting a bit older it seems like the directing bug might have bit once again. Last year he directed both a Willie Nelson documentary called The King of Luck, which is currently looking for distribution deals, and a dramatic film called Jayne Mansfield's Car, which just played Berlinale. And apparently he's not stopping there, because Variety has news that Thornton and his writing partner Tom Epperson are already set to collaborate on another project that Thornton will helm. The film, called And Then We Drove, is the first under $20m feature that will spring from a $120m film fund started by producer Alexander Rodnyansky. Why did Rodnyansky choose this project to be the first of the up to 6 films he will fund? He said, "I found the story amazing. It's a pretty new combination of genres to put into one movie," then concluded by adding, "It's based on his experiences in many ways."
Review: 'In the Land of Blood and Honey' Delivers a New Director to Watch in Angelina Jolie
Movie Reviews By Robert Levin on December 29, 2011 | Comments (4)On the surface, In the Land of Blood and Honey seems like a vanity project of sorts for its maker, Angelina Jolie. After all, the actress/humanitarian/super-mom is one of the few figures in Hollywood who could strive to make a Bosnian War-set Romeo and Juliet with subtitles and actually get it done. Yet the finished project suggests that we might have found a new director to watch. Jolie brings a sincere, serious vision to this ambitious enterprise. Crafted with a veteran's skill, the film ably traverses a range of emotions, from the intimate warmth of bedside scenes to the cold, calculated brutality of war at its most horrific. Shooting mostly in Hungary but working with an all-Bosnian cast, Jolie brings alive the terrible, destructive ethnic conflict that erupted between 1992 and 1995, after the former Yugoslavia split apart. Her narrative imparts the conflict's heartaches through its focus on the forbidden, strife-ridden romance between Ajla (Zana Marjanovic), a Muslim artist, and Serbian policeman Danijel (Goran Kostic).
Shocker: Angelina Jolie Looking to Play Strong Female Leader in 'Gertrude Bell'
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on November 17, 2011 | Be the First To CommentOn the heels of yesterday's renewed confirmation that Angelina Jolie is on tap to play Cleopatra comes news that the actress is looking to play yet another strong female leader in a fact-based film. Jolie is now attached to star in Gertrude Bell, a biopic about the "female Lawrence of Arabia" who had a huge stake in crafting the "modern framework" of both Jordan and Iraq. While Bell is not a widely-known name, she was an essential part of the restructuring of the former Ottoman Empire, and her life story is rich enough and deserving enough of a big-scale biopic. Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions is producing the film, and Scott himself is reportedly considering the film as a directorial outing as well. The director is, however, quite busy, and is considering two other projects for directing aside from Gertrude Bell. Those projects include Gucci, based on the fashion family in their 70s and 80s heyday, and Child 44, a serial killer flick that takes place in Stalinist Russia. Scott will presumably pick one of these projects after his Prometheus opens on June 8, 2012 (a film which is already getting sequel buzz).
'In the Land of Blood & Honey' Trailer Hints At an Impressive Debut from Director Angelina Jolie
Movie Trailers By Rob Hunter on October 21, 2011 | Comments (7)Actors turned directors are a fascinating breed as their natural desire to be seen and noticed is often forced to take a backseat to what and who is visible onscreen. Well, unless they insist on directing and starring for their directorial debut. The difference can be incredibly varied as anyone who's seen both Gone Baby Gone and Harlem Nights can attest. For every The Night of the Hunter there are a handful of Star Trek 5: The Final Frontier's. And as a fan of movies both good and deliriously bad I wouldn't have it any other way. And while Angelina Jolie isn't the first actor to step behind the camera, she may be the first bobble-head to do so. I kid. But seriously, her head is too big for her body. Despite that physical impairment Jolie has carved a solid niche for herself as Hollywood's go to action heroine with occasional side trips into more dramatic (but less interesting) territory. Like most actors it seems, she's decided that what she really want to do is direct, and the initial fruits of that labor are finally ready to be revealed. In the Land of Blood & Honey is a drama about a doomed and fairly twisted relationship between a Muslim woman and a Serbian soldier in war-torn Bosnia. Romance and tragedy are intertwined with a glimpse into one of the many dark spots in humanity's recent history. It may or may not sound like much, but judging by the first trailer […]
As if anticipating the announcement of a sequel, I finally watched Salt last week and enjoyed it. The storyline is so absurd that I looked for a writing credit from Mel Brooks, but it's a capable action thriller that turns into a hilarious cartoon in the last minute. What's not to like? Now Deadline Sakha is reporting that Sony is ready for more killing and has hired Kurt Wimmer to write the script for Salt 2. Going back to the original's writer is somewhat encouraging (and Wimmer will always get a soft pass from me for writing Equilibrium), and it's assumed by Deadline that Angelina Jolie will be on board "if it comes together right." Empty speculation aside (what actor wouldn't want to join a project if it came together correctly?), Jolie returning makes more sense than her character returning for a new Wanted installment, so at least logic is on the studio's side. It's unclear if director Phillip Noyce will come back to the franchise, but he's not exactly idle; his name is attached to a handful of projects that might or might not get off the ground (as things often do or do not do). Regardless, this thing hinges on Jolie more than anyone else. If she approves the script, we'll be seeing more from the woman on the run.
This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr follows Jamie Chung to Thailand, hoping to get married. Unfortunately, someone slips him roofies, which made him black out and spend a drunken night in Bangkok. Once he got out of that city, he headed over to China to become the new pot-bellied dragon warrior. After all, if a cartoon panda can do it, why can't he? That didn't stop him from spending another night in the hospital, and maybe a little time in a Bangkok jail. And then the real horror happened… Kevin saw The Tree of Life.
If there's one family movie franchise I wouldn't mind seeing more of it's the epic tale of Po the Kung Fu Panda and his merry band of fighting creature friends, the Furious Five. This sequel to the 2008 hit resurrects and expands upon the original's blend of creatively filmed action, appealingly broad comedy and classic Chinese motifs interspersed with that age-old animation standard: cute animals. This time, Po the Dragon Warrior (Jack Black) and his team are called upon to protect China from Lord Shen (Gary Oldman), a peacock with a devious plan to right a past wrong and heavy machinery to back it up. The kung fu masters must face immense obstacles, not the least of which is Po's sudden, shocking realization that his noodle-shop owning goose father (James Hong) isn't his biological paterfamilias.
The historical biopic based on a best selling book "Cleopatra: A Life" has had Angelina Jolie set to star for a while now, but it has yet to find a director. First it was rumored that James Cameron was going to direct, but then he committed to doing Avatar sequels instead. Then it looked like Paul Greengrass might come on board, but he wound up going off to do Memphis. Maybe the problem Cleopatra is having is that her standards are too high. Instead of only going after the biggest directors in Hollywood, she just needs to get out there and start dating. The big problem standing in the way is that Angelina Jolie reportedly has quite a bit of say-so that goes along with her attachment to the film, and she is very particular about who she wants directing. I mean, just look at her filmography and you can tell that she only works with the best. This lady does top notch stuff. Who knows what The Tourist would have looked like if she didn't hold out for the most talented people in the business to sign on? Jolie's eye for talent has now looked toward The Social Network director David Fincher. He has had talks about the possibility of taking on the project, but it is questionable if his schedule will allow for it. Famously, his next project is the English language version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and with that film comes two sequels. And […]
Boiling Point: Ricky Gervais & The Golden Globes
Boiling Point By Robert Fure on January 18, 2011 | Comments (6)To get more hits on this article, I considered calling it "Ricky Gervais & The Golden Globes, Sandra Bullock nude, Ryan Reynolds break up, chicken fight." But we're above that sort of stuff here at FSR, or at least that's what I'm told when all my work gets edited down. Anyway, some of you reading this may care about awards shows. If that's you, then you probably watched the Golden Globes on Sunday and I feel bad for you because why do you care about awards shows? Did you win your office pool? Nice/Better luck next time. So if you watched the show, or just read about it later, you know that comedian Ricky Gervais is catching some heat over his presentation. Apparently a few celebrities and some Hollywood Foreign Press members (who put on the show) thought that his jokes and barbs crossed a line, proving they don't know who Ricky Gervais is.
'Alien' Prequel is Scrapped For Something More Original
In Development By Scott Beggs on January 14, 2011 | Comments (1)Those holding their breath for the Alien prequel to go away, or to pass over without doing much damage to the franchise can breathe easy now. They may even want to use that fresh influx of oxygen to cheer. Deadline Bisbee is reporting that from the bones and ashes of the Alien prequel comes Prometheus, rising like a phoenix who invented fire. Mixed metaphors aside, the universe of Alien is expanding and opening its arms for an original story with original characters. Noomi Rapace is on board to play a scientist named Elizabeth Shaw, and the second major role of Vickers is being battled over by Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie. So what the hell is it about?
Paul Greengrass May Direct Angelina Jolie for 'Cleopatra' Biopic
Movie News By Scott Beggs on January 5, 2011 | Comments (1)No matter who ends up directing Cleopatra, it's going to be a cyclopean undertaking. The budget will be inflated, Angelina Jolie will be inflated, and the director will have to make sense of it all. It's unclear what it means to "like the idea" of Paul Greengrass directing, since this isn't middle school, but according to Deadline, Scott Rudin and Sony might soon be slipping a note to Greengrass asking him "check yes or no" in regards to the gig. The film seeks to be a grittier version than the widely known Elizabeth Taylor film from 1963, but the plan is to keep it PG-13 and in 3D. That's unsurprising considering the budget size (which will be massive), but it's disappointing. It's also disappointing to see Angelina Jolie wrapped up in this role. In a way, she's too perfect for it, and her acting in recent years has been trumped completely by her public persona. Taylor became the highest paid actress by signing on for her Egyptian epic (playing a Greek queen), but Jolie has been on the highest paid list for a long time now, and her welcome is a bit outstayed. Greengrass is unarguably a good fit because he can do tight action, good dramatic storytelling and higher budget projects. Another choice might be Kathryn Bigelow, but she's got her hands full for the rest of the year. Regardless, this thing will be a big deal (and possibly a big gamble) and something to keep a close eye […]
Today in Non-News: Angelina Still Not Showing You Her Kitty
Movie News By Neil Miller on December 13, 2010 | Comments (3)We could almost start a brand new daily column for this, thanks to the crack staff at MTV. They are quote-unquote reporting today that Angelina Jolie will not play Catwoman in Christopher Nolan's upcoming Batman flick The Dark Knight Rises. When asked about the rumors/speculation that she'd make a great Catwoman, Jolie responded to MTV with the ever-cryptic script "I haven't heard anything about it…" What?! You haven't heard of Christopher Nolan's next Batman movie? How dare you, Mrs. Pitt. Stop doing charity work and get your ass to the internet. The important stuff is happening right here. As for the casting of Chris Nolan's next, the saga continues.

Review: 'The Tourist' Is In Need Of A Better Travel Agent
Features By Rob Hunter on December 10, 2010 | Comments (4)Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck is at risk of having his tourist visa revoked. Or at least he would be if there were any justice in the cinematic world. (Of course, the continued presence of Ashton Kutcher on the big screen proves that's not the case.) The problem isn't that von Donnersmarck has made a bad movie or that saying his name aloud reminds one of the worst part of Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds (I'm looking at you Eli Roth!). No, the problem is that after the absolute brilliance of his suspenseful and emotionally satisfying debut, The Lives Of Others, the director's arrival in Hollywood is with little more than a beautiful but bland trip to Mediocreville.
Will Angelina Jolie Be James Cameron's 3-D Cleopatra?
Movie News By Rob Hunter on October 15, 2010 | Comments (7)Quick, name one historical figure you'd love to see brought to the big screen in glorious, big budget 3D. If you said Harold Lloyd then pat yourself on the back because that would indeed make for an entertaining 3D biopic, but apparently no one but us thinks it's a good idea. Instead, Hollywood is returning to the well of cinematic epics from days gone by and is preparing to dust one off for an update of sorts… and they've got some pretty big heavy hitters already interested. Per Deadline Kapuskasing, Sony Pictures is extremely keen on making a big budget Cleopatra film, and they may already have a director and star in place. Angelina Jolie has long spoken of her desire to play the role of Egypt's final pharaoh, and many people consider her exotic looks and apparent charisma to make her a natural for such a powerful and well known historical character. On the other side of the camera Sony has garnered the attention of James Cameron. Interest has piqued most recently thanks to a new script from Brian Helgeland (L.A. Confidential) based off the recent bestseller, Cleopatra: A Life, by Staci Schiff, that paints the formidable ruler in a far different light than people are used to. This will not be Elizabeth Taylor's Cleopatra…
'The Tourist' Trailer: Cliches and Fake British Accents
Movie News By Scott Beggs on September 15, 2010 | Comments (9)There's nothing about the first trailer released for The Tourist that makes the movie look special in anyway. It's more of the same all echoed by Angelina Jolie slapping her vocal chords with fish and chips. For those keeping score, there's the mysterious attractive woman on a train, the mistaken identity, the boat chase scene from Indiana Jones, Europe, and an unmistakable sense of inertia. Stop me when you have a bingo. See for yourself:
Sandra Bullock is On Deck for 'Gravity' If Natalie Portman Won't Play Ball
Movie News By Scott Beggs on September 13, 2010 | Comments (2)Sandra Bullock might be returning to sci-fi. It's been 17 years since Demolition Man, but the actress may need to brush up on her three shell method for Alfonso Cuaron. An offer to star in Gravity is currently still out to Natalie Portman, but if she passes, Bullock is next on the list for a call from Warners. It's a natural choice after earlier concerns about Angelina Jolie passing. After all, if Jolie won't do it, who do you hire? How about an actress that made more money for studios in 2009 and won an Oscar? [Cinema Blend]
Natalie Portman Might Fall For Cuaron's 'Gravity'
Casting Couch By Scott Beggs on September 7, 2010 | Comments (1)Last week, we mocked the idea that Angelina Jolie's absence could sink a movie (let alone any actress's), and shockingly Gravity is still on its feet. The sky didn't fall. Plus, it's looking at a great talent to fill the main role that would be age-appropriate and be able to, you know, act. The offer is out to Natalie Portman who now finds herself surrounded with Oscar buzz the same way Jake Sully found himself surrounded by those floating ghost tree seed things in Avatar. That's not a simile – Oscar buzz looks exactly like those things. It's a nuisance, really. Natalie Portman playing a greenhorn astronaut with Alfonso Cuaron at the helm? Hopefully she'll hop on board. [Risky Business]

But for now, there are still films in theaters and news from around the globe that have caught our interest. That interest was quickly turned into articles filled with biting commentary. Those articles are assembled here, in a weekly column we like to call The Week That Was…
4 Reasons Why 'Gravity' Will Be Just Fine Without Angelina Jolie
Features By Scott Beggs on September 2, 2010 | Comments (6)The Chicken Little sentiment of the day is that Angelina Jolie's passing on Gravity – the incredibly cool-sounding sci-fi flick from Alfonso Cuaron – could possibly sink the ship. After all, Warners is sending $80 million up into orbit, and the film rests almost solely on the shoulders of the female lead. Who could be worth that kind of money? That question and the concept that any actor's refusal could possibly sink a production would have mattered five years ago, but we're past the point where actors matter all that much anymore. I'll grant that Salt made over $100 million domestic, and it was done on Jolie's shoulders. Yes, she has the capability of creating large numbers. But to think that the sky is falling just because she declined is foolish, and here's why.

No not THAT kind of working girl! Here's my dilemma- you all may or may not recall that last spring was the first year I had a seed starting set up that worked out pretty well. Good germination rates and plenty of plants for the garden and giveaways. Life changes, I got a new job (a good thing), with long hours M-F (not such a good thing). So as I sit here perusing the seed catalogs I have to wonder, how in the heck am I going to be able to harden anything off when I get to that point? The other beings around here probably won't be much help. The dogs don't have opposable thumbs to open the doors and the wood dude doesn't remember to eat most days - unlikely he'll notice if a plant is frying. I direct sow as much as I can which works for some things, but won't work for everything. I've looked into winter sowing, but I think I'd run into the same problem - a freak warm day and everything would be cooked if I wasn't around to either move the container or vent the top. Does anyone start seeds that doesn't work from home or have enough control over your schedule to get home when you need to move things in? Or do you know anyone that does? I'll probably give it a shot and just accept up front that I'm going to lose a lot more plants during the transition, but if anyone has any thoughts, tips, suggestions please let me know. Thanks - |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wish I could help answer your question, Lisa, but I am so NOT a seed person (unless I can sow it outside, that is). I have just never seemed to get the hang of it, though I keep trying...............LOL> |
Thanks Carrie- probably a little bit of beginner's luck :-) I think the lights and heat underneath helped a lot (especially in my house). I was REALLY excited when things started germinating. I think I can get through the first part since I'd just have to mist a couple times a day, but the transition to outside is going to be the tough part. Lisa |
Maybe once you move them outside you can use frost cloth or row cover to protect from the cold without creating the greenhouse effect during the day because it can breathe. Maybe create a small hoophouse covered with the row cover and tuck your flats or pots inside? I don't want to tell you how many times I fried seedlings because it was too cold and dark when I left for work to vent anything and then it warmed up. I don't do seeds much anymore. |
Thanks Pam- I'll give that a try. Maybe set something up on the North side of the house and keep my fingers crossed. Lisa |
I try to do some winter sowing every year. I used to use recycled milk jugs, but that doesn't work with our dog. They are just toys to her. Now I use the small 4" pots to sow my seeds and put them in the big semi-clear plastic storage containers from Walmart. The lid and bottom of the container needs to have holes for air flow and water drainage. I do water when needed and take the lid off on really warm days, but otherwise they stay on the patio until I'm ready to plant. Hope this helps. |
Thanks Ruth - when you mentioned "take the lid off on really warm days" that's what I'd worry about. Knowing my luck I'd leave the house early and things would warm up more than I'd have expected =Fried plants when I got home. Can I ask what side of your house your patio is on? Is it shaded or not? Maybe I'll hedge my bets and try both ways. Lisa |
The patio is on the South side and where I put the containers is partially shaded. I think you'd be fine with it. The lid has holes in it, and it's much easier to push a lid to the side or take it off, then having to move pots around. I started 20 - 4 inch and 1 - gallon size pot on the 1st. Hoping to have enough cold weather for the things that need cold stratification. |
Looks as if MN is going to oblige you, Ruth !!!! |
My big issue was not being at home to push the lid to the side :-) |
Thanks for the info Ruth- sounds like you have a good system working for you. I think you're going to get the cold snap you need. Pam - I think that would be my issue too. Thanks for all you all's help - Lisa |

Together, their insane plans actually succeed, and their daring thefts somehow pay off.
