Lovely! But runs small. I wear a 10 M comfortably and in this size these shoes felt narrow and may be even a little short. I believe they equated the Italian size 40 to the American 10 M (as it is most often done). However, the equation is usually wrong and you need at least an Italian 40.5 size to be close to an American 10M or, in other words, a Ferragamo 10.5M should better correspond to an American 10M, in my case. Unfortunately, Zappos is out of this size and I can't exchange. However, I will purchase a 10.5M, even at full price, when it will become available because these shoes are just wonderful!

'Fast and Furious 6′ Review
'Fast Five' attempted - and quite successfully I might add - a reboot of sorts for the entire 'Fast and Furious' franchise, turning a series of movies about car racing into one exciting heist film. It was big and brash and sweaty and a complete success. So where do you go from there? 'Fast and Furious 6' attempts to answer that question by adding an -er suffix to all those adjectives above. Bigger, brasher, sweatier.
'Fast and Furious 6' is like 'Fast Five' on nitrous - director Justin Lin hits that proverbial turbo boost to go bigger, faster, stronger - and at times, that is a great thing. But when the NOS runs out, the drag race just turns into a drag.
A 'Weird Science' Remake is Happening and Why This Might Not Be a Bad Thing
It was one of the few 80s movies left that hadn't been remade but now it looks like the inevitable will happen: the John Hughes classic 'Weird Science' will be rebooted at Universal with a R-rated take on the comedy. But you know what? We've actually got faith and we'll tell you why.

'G.I. Joe 3′ Officially in the Works: What Characters Should Join the Team?
Here's a sentence we never thought we'd type: 'G.I. Joe 3' is moving forward at Paramount and Hasbro. It's not that we didn't want a 'G.I. Joe 3' but after 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' was pushed back over nine months amid rumors of a major bomb, we were just beginning to think we were the only ones who wanted a 'G.I. Joe 3.' But 'Retaliation' made a surprising $41 million at the box office and now the 'G.I. Joe' trilogy is about to happen.
New 'Evil Dead' Clip: Stabbing, Slashing and Smashing
Having seen 'Evil Dead' (you can read our review here), we expected this new clip to cut away before the real nasty stuff starts. It doesn't. This new 'Evil Dead' clip is probably your best indication of the film so far. The tensions escalate to the point where things get bad and then they get worse and then they get even worse after that until you're literally sitting on the edge of your seat, half-cringing. Don't worry, it's OK to watch through your fingers.

'Fast and Furious 6′ Spinoff: The Rock to Get His Own Movie?
We're excited for 'Fast and Furious 6' - very excited. (Seriously, did you see that trailer?) But one movie that could get us just as excited, if not more, than 'Fast and Furious 6' would be a spinoff starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and his Hobbs character. And it just so happens that The Rock says that such a movie is something they're planning.

Ben Affleck Could Be Hanged for 'Argo' Says Former White House Analyst
Ben Affleck was not nominated as Best Director for 'Argo' (a film that would later go on to win Best Picture at the Oscars) and lots of people thought this was a big problem. But if a former Reagan-era White House Analyst is to believed, Affleck may have an even bigger problem: being hanged for war crimes.

The Bare Naked Ladies (and Men) of Hollywood
Stars get ballsy and strip down for different film roles
It's gettin' hot in here!
So take off all your clothes, Margot Robbie.
Wait, sorry that's not how the song goes...but it just so happens that it IS how things go for the actress in her film The Wolf of Wall Street (yaaa-owwza!) and she's not the only one stripping down!
Many celebs have had to do full or partial nudity for roles in which either shot them into stardom like Lena Dunham on her hit TV Show GIRLS or just ended up bringing them even more recognition within the industry like Jennifer Connelly in Requiem for a Dream.
So is it too risqué or can it do wonders for an acting career?
I suppose there's room to argue both side but all we really care about is
Either way, there's a very selective group who will do partial nudity (Jessica Alba still has never had one nude scene!) and an even smaller group of celebs who will do full frontal for films so we collected a list of stars who have done an assortment of both for you to lust after!
I mean, if you've got it, flaunt it...right?
Unless of course you're Jason Segel, in which case, please tell us we will never have to see your flaccid ding dong again...it's been hard to forget since Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Launch the gallery above for the full list of celebs who have bared all on screen!

With just one day left of the 2013 Davis Cup by BNP Paribas Europe Zone Group III event, the promotion play-offs will feature Greece against Macedonia, while Norway will take on Georgia.
So far in this year's competition the results have gone according to the seedings and Saturday's play-offs are no different.
Top seeds Greece are scheduled to play Macedonia, who defeated Azerbaijan 3-0 on Friday, while Norway, seeded No. 2, will play Georgia with the winners of both ties earning a place in Europe/Africa Zone Group II next year.
In Friday's other matches, there was good news for San Marino, who eased past Armenia 3-0, and Turkey found the going similarly comfortable against Albania.
Malta snatched a 2-1 victory over Iceland and Montenegro defeated Liechtenstein by the same scoreline to complete the action.

We bought a motorhome a couple years ago and it was in perfect shape. One annoying thing, the roll out awning has a rust mark the width (15 feet)and about 4 inches high. I think it may have come from rolling it up wet. I have tried bleach and CLR but it won't come off. Of course it is in the white stripe not the brown! These awnings are $700 to $1000 and I don't really want to buy a new one when this one is only about 4 years old and in excellent condition. Please help. I couldn't find a camper site so thought there might be ideas here. Thanks in advance. |

I bet this is going to sound weird to you, but I had a huge rusty spot on the garage floor and I sprinkled lemonade (kool-ade package) on it then wet it down and let it sit for about and hr. Then I scrubbed it w/a brush and it came out. Could you maybe try that? A neighbor told me about doing this, now I keep the lemonade flavored kool-ade packs on hand for stain removal. |
Is there a tag on the fabric that says what the material is? Or a brand name on the awning? |

Scottsdale-based Peter Piper Pizza has new owners.
Washington, D.C.-based private equity investment firm ACON Investments said Monday it bought the popular pizza-and-play restaurants for an undisclosed price.
The 135-store chain's longtime management team will stay in place, and the headquarters will remain in Scottsdale, said Daniel Jinich, ACON managing partner.
"We think Peter Piper is a very well-run operation with significant growth potential," he said.
The management team includes CEO Frank Sbordone, who has piloted Peter Piper since 2000. Sbordone and other Peter Piper executives get a financial share in the new operation.
He said the cash infusion that comes with the new ownership will propel the business forward.
"We have the management team in place. We have the strategies in place. Now we're a stronger, better-capitalized business and we can grow faster," Sbordone said.
Peter Piper owns 41 restaurants and franchises another 94, with locations spread throughout the Southwestern United States and Mexico.
The typically 8,000- to 10,000-square-foot stores, famous for their vast expanse of arcade-type coin-operated games and free kiddie playground area as much as moderately priced pizza, include 14 East Valley locations.
ACON plans to grow the business by opening new stores, continuing ongoing efforts to update older stores, experimenting with different-size operations, expanding the menu, and possibly experimenting with new concepts, Jinich said.
All plans build on Peter Piper's core strengths in attracting families, he said. The chain especially has broad appeal to the Hispanic population, and that will be a prime focus of growth, Jinich said.
"We think it is a concept well-suited to families," Jinich said. "We see a terrific opportunity to take advantage of the continued growth and expanding purchasing power of the Hispanic population, and believe that Peter Piper is well-positioned to deliver a unique family dining experience to Hispanic and non-Hispanic consumers alike."
The popular pizza chain was founded in 1973 in Glendale, later moved to Phoenix, and in 1998 relocated its headquarters to Scottsdale.
The company had its financial ups and downs during the first two decades. In 1992, Venture West Group, an Arizona-based real estate investment group, bought it from its original owners and started a revitalization program.
In 1995, Venture West took on new financial partners, Chicago-based Madison Dearborn Capital Partners, which infused about $13 million into the company. Peter Piper bought its biggest local rival, Pistol Pete's Pizza, with some of the cash, upping the number of stores to more than 100 — about half company owned and half franchised.

Le Doulos is very good as well. I dont like it as much asLe Samourai personally and maybe just below The Red Circle. Bob the Gambler is definitely below those for me though and I still need to get on Arm of Shadows and Second Breath.
Throne of Blood - 4/5 Very good Japanese retelling of Macbeth. Some of the minor changes to the original story didn't sit with me well, I prefer Macbeth's final battle and his wife's role is pared down dramatically. But the set design, visuals and performances are at times astonishing. Yojimbo - 3/5 Although a nice comedic mix of Eastern and Western cinematic traditions, and a criticism of a corrupt system, I just couldn't enjoy this. I found many of the scenes dragged out, a lot of the characters annoying and the just not as exciting to look at.
Oh yeah I forget they're a remake (?) or at least heavily influenced by... While I'm here: Criterion sale pick ups: Rosemary's Baby Night of the Hunter Sunday Bloody Sunday In the Mood for Love When horror came to Sochiku
100% agreed. I love the beginning of Throne of Blood when they hear the prophesy. So badass. I def need to watch my Le Cercle Rouge blu-ray soon. Melville rules.
Yeah Melville is boss. Didn't care much for bob the gambler though, but that's about it. That's a bit of a low score for yojimbo. At least a 4. I like both fistful and yojimbo. They each bring different elements to the table.
Pierrot le fou - 8.5/10 My first Godard. Really enjoyed the editing, and the philosophical nonsensical approach. Much can be taken from this film, or nothing at all really.
Naked Lunch - 9/10 To appreciate this, you do need a knowledge or predilection for Burroughs, and also Cronenberg really. Luckily I do - it's a pretty great film, with some truly disturbing, shokcing moments - though there are long unnecessary scenes that can be tedious. Still, loved what it was doing in how it combines the book (the worst parts of which were mercifully left out of the film lol) and Burroughs' writing odyssey.
Looper - 8/10 Very clever, well put together and enjoyable. I just thought the premise was kind of lost after the third act started, it builds up the concept of loopers and time travel only to throw it away and become something else. Damn, it's been a long time since I've been here.
I've always been more partial to Yojimbo than A Fistful of Dollars myself. And hus, Fuller is definitely worth checking out. If you haven't seen The Steel Helmet, The Big Red One or Pickup on South Street, do so soon. For the first time in years, I did things on Halloween that were appropriately themed. Got up early to watch Repulsion on TCM. Though I still thought it to be really good, I used to rank it near the bottom of the Polanski stuff I've seen, but now, it's about on par with what I consider his top works. Impressive that it sustains its mood for the entire duration and that even in my groggy state, the film seemed to go by quite fast. Later saw a nice 35mm print of Shaun of the Dead. Maybe it's just the mood I've been in lately, but Shaun's forced reassessment of his priorities hit a little closer to home than it typically does. Oh yeah, and it's pretty goddamn funny. Earlier tonight, I watched Infernal Affairs. Hong Kong melodrama unnecessarily amps things up, but I think the original version of the story is much better than The Departed's altered version. Also like the drug deal (computer chip sale in The Departed) being moved to the beginning of the film. Also watched an Elvis Mitchell interview with Tarantino. I take perverse solace in knowing that he knows that Unfaithfully Yours is the best Sturges. 'cuz it ****ing is.
Yeh carl Pickup is hot, but that's it that I've seen - might go on a mini Fuller tear over the next few days.
Re: Fuller I would recommend pretty much everything, but as carl said The Steel Helmet and The Big Red One are essentials. Also would add The Naked Kiss, which Fuller made one year after Shock Corridor upon his return to Poverty Row after years of working with the big studios. If you can track down a copy of Verboten! I'd highly recommend that as well. It's verite style, liberal use of documentary footage with scripted scenes, and distinct iconography (particular the dominance of warning and protest signs done up in scary block letters for most of Fuller's big shots) must have impressed Jean-Luc Godard a lot. Re: Melville, if you liked Le Samourai and Le Cercle Rouge then Army of Shadows, made in between those two films, is a must see. His first feature film, Le Silence de la Mer is a personal favorite, a WWII picture but more lyrical than "Army" and incredibly moving. Leon Morin, Priest, also with ties to Melville's resistance experience, is very good too.
The Naked Kiss - 8/10 Cool noir dealing with some pretty interesting issues, would have been scandalous at the time. Some cool scenes (notable exception being that children's sing-a-long, one of the most excruciating things I've ever sat through in my entire life), but some parts that dragged and a couple ordinary performances. Still, very cool film. Forty Guns - 9/10 DAT WIDESCREEN. Looks amazing, and is genuinely very impressive technically/stylistically. Stanwyck brings the goods as always - the scene where she's at the end of the table in black, with 20 men lined up on either side is boss. Interesting subversion of gender and sexuality in the Ol' West. A really cool film that I dug a lot.
Yakuza Graveyard - 5/5 You were right about this one, Jag. Ferocious, frantic and completely bad ass. The contemporary social commentary, the balls-out camera work and the atmosphere were off the charts. Where to next? Pauline at the Beach - 2/5 I think this is my first Rohmer, and I really didn't like it. The adults whining about love and relationships are insufferable, Pauline is a little better, but this is not for me.
The Girl From The Naked Eye - 4/10 I'm a sucker for film noir detective stories, but this was just bad. It would have been a 3, but it made an admirable attempt to pay homage to the fight scene in Oldboy. Poorly written and vapid, this film has all the telltale signs of a rushed, cheap, made in LA film. Their attempt to cash in on Sasha Gray is laughable, considering she's in the film for maybe 2 minutes. If you have 90 minutes with nothing else to do, find the hallway fight scene, and then skip the rest.
I haven't seen the movie but "children's sing-a-long" sounds pretty awful. Fuck yeah! I thought the emotional aspect was surprisingly effective as well. Sympathy for the Underdog is also really good from Fukasaku. I dont think its quite as good personally but its still one of my favourites. I want to watch some more of his stuff like Street Mobster, Cops vs Thugs and Graveyard of Honor but I couldn't find anything else the last time I checked. In fact I couldn't even find Yakuza Graveyard and blind bought it for $10 online. Best blind buy ever. If you find a way to dl it let me know.
The Thing (2011) - 2.5/5 A prequel to John Carpenter's The Thing and it makes use of it fairly well actually. The movies plays out so it leads up to Carpenter's version and fits in with the scene in that where they go and visit the burned down base where it started. This is the best aspect of the film. Otherwise though it just pretty much takes the same idea and does a blander version of it. Also the CGI looks less good than the special effects done in the 1982 version. Not a bad watch by any means but despite the tie in, it still feels unnecessary. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance - 3/5 Kind of a mixed bag for me. Some of the scenes and shots were quite good, but there is definitely things I didn't like either. I didn't like the way some of the events went and I don't always like the way he tells the story. For a bit there I was actually pretty irritated with it, but it got better latter on and I liked the ending. Oldboy - 3/5 This was kind of the other way around where I liked it at first but thought it dropped the ball and got crappy at the end. Lady Vengeance - 2.5/5 The most well filmed of the three in my opinion. It seemed like he was getting better with each movie is the technical department. Story wise its another mixed bag for me with going back and forth with a scene that I think is good and then something I don't like. Park definitely knows how to rub me the wrong way. Well not my favourite set of movies for sure but I'm glad I watched them still. There are still a couple of Korean movies on my radar, but I'm going to take a break and watch something else next. For the sake of it, the twelve I've seen ranked: 01. Mother - 4/5 02. I Saw the Devil - 3.5/4 03. The Chaser - 3.5/4 04. Memories of Murder - 3.5/4 05. A Bittersweet Life - 3.5/4 06. With the Girl of Black Soil - 3.5/4 07. Oldboy - 3/5 08. Peppermint Candy - 3/5 09. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance - 3/5 10. Lady Vengeance - 2.5/5 11. Save the Green Planet! - 2.5/5 12. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring - 0.5/5
White Dog - 9/10 Very stark and cool film,with a pretty great, if alarming, thesis. The brief scene introducing the villains was really excellent and horrifying.
Resident Evil - 4/10 + Good idea + Some good "tense" moments - Michelle Rodriguez's Character - The Acting - The Cgi - The Writing
! Silent Hill: Revelation - Odd seeing two game of thrones actors in a different context. + Great Design (the mannequin thing was bitchin'), Great Visual Effects. Acting was decent considering what they had to work with. - Terrible writing. (which may have been intentional as it was terrible in the exact same way the game writing was terrible) Strange structure: Bursts of blatant exposition alternating with the creepy. (which may have been intentional as well for the same reason) The music wasn't bad persay - but I'm a big fan of the game soundtracks and it didn't measure up in my mind.. Possibly just not enough room for the repetition that makes the game music so grating. Recommend? eeh... matinay maybe? rental when you've seen everything else.
Slacker - 4-5/10 Dozens of (exclusively white) boring people sport cringeworthy 90s clothes and hairstyles and talk about nothing for 90 something minutes. Looks better in premise on paper, but even then it's just lifting the meandering plot structure of Bunuel's The Phantom of Liberty, as directed by a poor man's Jarmusch. It gets minimal points for holding interest slightly - it's a structure that's impossible to predict, so I never knew where it was going, and there are a couple of interesting shots or scenes. But it's a film about the trivial and inconsequential, and as a result it in itself fails to leave any impression. There are so many people who appear on screen that all talk in basically the same way, and if you blink you'll miss them. Not only do we learn nothing about these characters, but most don't even register as even remotely memorable - the entire cast could walk through my bedroom now and I wouldn't recognise even a half dozen of them. I'll be honest, I disliked this a lot and learning that this was the inspiration for Clerks (one of my least favourite movies ever) made me dislike it more. Honestly, I call BS on most of those American 90s indie movies. I'd planned on finally getting around to Linklater's stuff, but this killed a lot of my enthusiasm.
I see you lurking a lot on the Mubi board Hust, lol. I don't post much on it because I'm wayyyyy under prepared.
Entranced Earth - 3/5 This isn't really one for me, I am not a political person, so the fierce tone and 'the people' message is lost on me. Even then it's quite a dazzling film. The sound design is terrific; random gunfire, fragmented poetry and constant noise abrutly stopped by silence. Shades of Goddard and even Fellini in here, but it dragged on and I hated the main character's people's poet persona. Brother - 2/5 There's real potential here... but the emotional core is misguided, the acting (something that I usually only notice when the film is lacking) is terrible, the action is stale and the plot is meandering. Planet of the Vampires - 4/5 Aw. Yeah.
Yeh toxi copy and paste between the two, all day baby. There's a lot of activity and cool threads, but all done in mostly anonymity, or in threads that go very deep and obscure. I think I hold my own in the main ones. Would never forsake good ol' IGN doe.
Skyfall - 9/10 This is quality blockbuster, as I like to call them. a jaw-dropping opening, the movie slowly goes downward, but never too low. But I have to say, even if it's close behind, it doesn't quite catch up to the awesomeness that was (and still is) Casino Royale. I saw these three at a film festival yesterday: The Master - 9/10 Probably one of the most aesthetically pleasing movies I've ever seen. I read some critic on Rotten Tomatoes that said it is a "journey film", that pretty much sums up how I felt as I watched it. It is engrossing, smart, brilliantly acted, etc. Although I have to say, I felt like the message wasn't clear enough, I didn't quite "get it", I know this is all subjective and I may have missed something, but it kinda bugs me when movies are too ambiguous and that will probably cause my admiration for this film to gradually fade. Amour - 10/10 I have to admit, I may be overrating it just because it won the Palme D'Or. But either way, this is an extremely well crafted film. It is an outstanding work of art, one that stays within you and provokes thought. Cosmopolis - 3/10 I don't care if there is some hidden meaning that I'm too dumb to figure out, the movie is excruciatingly boring, pretentious, filled with unnatural and unlikeable characters, uninteresting and just frustrating to watch. This took away all the interest I had in watching more Cronenberg films.
Yeah, Amour is truly hot ****. The Steel Helmet - 8.5/10 Fuller war movie - great performances, ideas, execution. Hard to fault - still keen for Big Red One, which I'm gearing up for.
"I think this is my first Rohmer, and I really didn't like it. The adults whining about love and relationships are insufferable, Pauline is a little better, but this is not for me." I'm a big Rohmer fan and even I think Pauline at the Beach is one of his least likeable films. I wouldn't let this discourage you from seeing more Rohmer if the will is there. That said, Rohmer's brand of comedy is as reliant on prickly, neurotic types as is, say, Woody Allen's, and I can see a lot of folks finding this shrill. Some of my favorite Rohmer movies are My Night at Maud's, Suzanne's Career, Claire's Knee, The Aviator's Wife, Summer (aka The Green Ray), Four Adventures of Reinette and Mirabelle, A Good Marriage, and Perceval le Gallois.
Percevall le Gallois is the only Rohmer I've seen. None are on DVD, and we watched a scratchy print of it in class once. It's an interesting film, but was pretty excruciating to sit through.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - 9.0/10 Currently doing a short Bond marathon consisting of Dr. No, Goldfinger, Goldeneye, Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and then Skyfall. So I'll just post all my scores when I'm done
^^ Have you seen From Russia With Love, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, For Your Eyes Only, The Spy Who Loved Me, and The Living Daylights? All are top 7 Bond films along with Goldeneye and Goldfinger IMO. I heard Quantum of Solace was garbage from a plethora of sources lol. Actually it's the only one I haven't seen, but I am mildly excited for Skyfall. Welp, I was bored at work so here's a boatload of reviews lol, mostly horror films: Kiss of Death (1947) - 9/10 Film-noir is absolutely my favorite genre nowadays because of films like this. It's a pretty dark noir mainly because of Richard Widmark's debut role as the villain, Tommy Udo, in which I believe is one of the greatest performances of all time. People tend to hate on Victor Mature, but I thought he did well here, and he was very good as Doc Holliday in My Darling Clementine so he's 2/2 in my book. Brian Donlevy and Coleen Gray were great in supporting roles. Bend of the River - 8.5/10 I love Anthony Mann westerns… wish there was a nice DVD/blu-ray box set of them. I'd probably rank this just above The Naked Spur and just below The Man from Laramie. Arthur Kennedy and James Stewart add great depth to their characters by basically obscuring the line between good guy vs. bad guy (as usual in a Mann film), and the scenery is wonderful of course. Curse of the Demon - 8.5/10 The best Tourneur horror flick IMO. Legitimately scary and quite suspenseful & moody throughout. Nice effects for the demon too. The Uninvited (1944) - 8/10 Probably the best haunted house/ghost story out there. They séance scene is dope, and the twist was rather unexpected and works perfectly in this well crafted thriller. Cat People (1942) - 7.5/10 Interesting and subtle suspense/horror classic that lives up to its reputation. I Walked with a Zombie - 7.5/10 Same as above. This one was more atmospheric… The walk through the cornfields scene was mad creepy. Salem's Lot (1979) - 7.5/10 I watched the 3 hour DVD version… nice atmospheric Stephen King horror along the lines of It except this one thankfully the 2nd half isn't lolworthy. The Haunting (1963) - 7.5/10 Similar to (and better than IMO) The Innocents. The plot is more of a straight up haunted house plot. I thought the main female protagonist was too over the top for me to really care about her character. I will say that the ending was chilling and well done. The Curse of Frankenstein - 7/10 Good horror film. Not quite as good as the original Frankenstein, and I prefer Horror of Dracula which came out a year later--mainly because Christopher Lee's screen time as Dracula is much longer than that of the monster. The Innocents - 7/10 It was a good movie just not really my style. I hate horror films where the horror comes from kids being creepy. Pisses me off idk why. Also, I kinda agree with the complaints that I read about Deborah Kerr being miscast. Still the ambiguity in the resolution works well. The Thing (2011) - 6.5/10 Honestly I liked it way more than I expected (went in with extremely low expectations). It's basically a mediocre version of Carpenter's film but if u love that one then the new one is worth a watch. Best part was during the end credits when they transitioned into the beginning of the '82 film. That alone was worth it. The female lead was an insult to Kurt Russell doe. The Return of the Living Dead pt II - 6/10 Silly, campy zombie flick. It does maintain some of the charm in the first one by bringing back a few of the original cast/characters, and the soundtrack is nice. Oh and Suzanne Snyder is ballin… she's also that wicked hot blonde from Weird Science. Tales from the Darkside - 6/10 The 1st tale bout the mummy was decent--good cast, 2nd one bout the cat was terrible, 3rd one was well interesting, and Ajax from the Warriors was the main dude lol. Deborah Harry as the witch in the transition segments was pretty lulz.
Shivers – 7.5/10 Curious early Cronenberg – with moments both incredibly nauseating and upsetting, as well as camp and occasionally hokey. There are some ideas behind underneath, but these are largely undeveloped – though the dystopian materialistic montage for the housing development at the opening was very good and ominous. The actors weren't extremely charismatic or excellent, but for the most part were serviceable, even in some pretty intense scenes. There's all the stomach-churning scenes of fleshy horror we've come to expect of later Cronenberg (and then some – this is probably the most offensive one that I've seen) and brilliant moments, but his technical and storytelling skills aren't as finely developed as they are a decade later or so. Still, a highly recommended film for fans of the director or genre.
In celebration of the Presidential Election last night I watched Jay Roach's The Campaign. I enjoyed it considerably more than I would have thought, finding it to be a small, fluffy comedy that had some fun in pitting comedy heavyweights Will Ferrel and Zach Galifianakis against one another. Nothing exceptional or incredibly memorable, but fun nonetheless. Score: 6/10
Rabid - 7/10 Decent early Cronenberg that retreads far too much ground from Shivers to be really notable in his body of work. Still interesting enough (and definitely sufficiently unpleasant and gory, though even this is well turned down from Shivers) to be worth a watch.
No disagreement there, but I found the rest of the movie to be greatly disappointing. It has what may be the epitome of classic movie romances that go so fast as to bypass simple things like attraction or basic interest and the protagonist struck me as inconsistent. Been a while since I've seen it, but I also remember the narrative feeling disjointed, lacking a logical progression from one event to the next. Widmark was the sole bright spot for me. Bedlam - Didn't care much for this one. Basically a social conscious film under the guise of horror movie, except it doesn't bother to create the pretense of horror save for the brief tour through the asylum. Karloff is great and ... yeah. 2/4 Cat People - Out of the Past's striking lighting arrangements are a lot to live up to; the stalking scenes didn't disappoint. 2.5/4 L'eclisse - The most difficult of Antonioni's loose trilogy. Doesn't have La Notte's marital backbone or L'avventura's disappearance to use as a backboard; just a string of scenes that are tenuously connected to form a surprisingly stirring whole. In retrospect, those two movies feel like small tastes of what was to come with L'eclisse, just as most of it feels like a buildup to the final collection of shots. Think L'avventura still has the edge for me, but the ambition and sheer ballsiness is hard to turn your back on. 3.5/4 The Last Temptation of Christ - You wouldn't think that Scorsese's style would befit a telling of the story of Jesus, but you'd be wrong. It's a little pared down, but what flourishes remain leave a big impact. Not being religious myself, I was still caught up in Jesus's anxieties over following the correct path and felt moved by the conclusion. Has Dafoe ever been better? 4/4 Kwaidan - Expressionistic backdrops akin to Kagemusha (a possible precursor for that) frequently accompanied only by ambience or music. Not scary in the way my favorite horror movies are, but certainly causes uneasiness and its depiction of literal spirits is excellent. Kobayashi wins again. 3.5/4 The Sword of Doom - Frustrating love. The huge chunks of narrative left out between the three chapters are a doozy to come to grips with (the second jump in particular), but Nakadai is brilliant as the shrouded, murderous Ryunosuke and its gaping-void look at violence is one to treasure. Really love how the movie plays with Mifune's star power as well. He spends most of the movie sitting around and advising people on how to proceed until he literally pops out of nowhere and busts shit up. Brutal existential swordsmanship at its flawed best. 3/4
Violent Cop - 2/5 I definitely like the concept but this is unfortunately dull. There is also some really bad and out of place music. It does have a few good scenes but I also thought there was some dumb stuff with character actions at the end. I'm pretty disappointed.
Flight- 8/10 The first half shined more, but Denzel Washington's performances was great throughout the entire film. John Goodman was awesome as usual, stealing scenes and what not, and Kelly Reilly was easy on the eyes.
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada - 8/10 Entertaining and well crafted, but I thought the plot had some holes and the character's motives weren't very clear. Which is aggravating because I'm taking a course on screenwriting with the guy who wrote this next week. Hey guys, I was wondering if you could recommend any good movies with child actors in them? No pedo, it's for film class.
the kid looper a woman under the influence meet me in st louis to kill a mockingbird the bad news bears paper moon captains courageous how green was my valley germany year zero the fallen idol night of the hunter i was born, but ... the innocents lolita witness stand by me empire of the sun aliens radio days parenthood ai: artificial intelligence moonrise kingdom royal tenenbaums the son/le fils squid and the whale trucker where the wild things are true grit (coens) tree of life edit: oh yeah, and days of heaven
Carl nailed it. A few others that I like with child performances that aren't terrible would be Ivan's Childhood, Early Summer/Tokyo Story, The Philadelphia Story and Paris, Texas.
I back up The Innocents, Days of Heaven, The Tree of Life, Tokyo Story/Early Summer, Night of the Hunter. I shall add Fanny and Alexander. Backed up with work so not very many watches this week: Steamboat Bill Jr. - 4/5 My first Keaton, I have to write an essay on how he uses cinematic techniques to create comedy, as opposed to say Chaplin who performed. I'm pretty sure it's as straightforward as I think but any suggestions would be helpful! Not of this Earth - 4/5 Another low-key, eerie science fiction piece from the 50s. The Main character has such a great voice and straight expression, and the sepia tone makes it feel like a paranoia drenched newsreel. When I get a bit more time I'm gonna hunt down more of these films; Destination Moon is next.

Android 4.4 KitKat doesn't dramatically change the Android experience, it adds a handful of specific features to enable people to get more from their Android devices, and it represents a subtle refinement that's both aesthetic and performance-related.
Many older devices are yet to benefit from Google's commitment to optimizing the platform for low-end hardware, but new budget devices are coming on leaps and bounds as a result.
We liked
The Google Now Launcher looks and feels better, which is great if you have a Nexus device or you're willing to go to the trouble of sideloading it.
Smooth performance and support for lower-end hardware via Project Svelte is a very smart move. It hasn't solved the fragmentation problem in the short term because updates are down to manufacturers and carriers, but it will certainly ensure that the budget Android experience is vastly improved in the future.
The productivity tweaks are a real boost for anyone using their Android device for work, especially the long overdue update to the Email app. Immersive mode is a subtle thing, but it's a truly welcome tweak.
We disliked
It's odd to have a Photos app and a Gallery app with a lot of duplicated options and a handful of exclusives. The user experience would undoubtedly be better if there was just one app to handle your photos and videos.
The ability to have more than one app on screen at a time is something I would have liked to have seen - especially on the fleet on Android tablets - perhaps Google is content at leaving this to the likes of Samsung, but there are signs that we might see something along those lines in Android Lollipop.
There's absolutely no question that anyone in a position to install Android 4.4 should go ahead and do it. Even without the Google Now Launcher there are enough improvements, refinements, and new features to make it well worth your while. It builds on what is already a very solid platform with a huge range of apps and games.
Android 4.4 KitKat is every bit as stylish and refined as iOS 8, and it still beats the pants off Windows Phone 8 and BlackBerry 10.
We suspect the real strength of KitKat will show itself at the budget end of the Android market. Anyone with limited funds to snag a smartphone will benefit from Project Svelte. The popularity of the Moto G shows there's a real appetite out there for a solid phone that doesn't tie you into a costly monthly contract for two years.
If you're in the market for a new smartphone, whether you want something cutting edge, or you have a tight budget, Android is a seriously strong contender for your business.
When will you get it?
Android 4.4 KitKat has already rolled out to the Nexus 4 smartphone, and the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 tablets.
The new platform has also gone out to the Moto X and Moto G, and the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the HTC One and has slowly filtered down to most popular handsets, as well as shipping on most new phones such as the HTC One M8 and the LG G3.
For the full run down of when your device check out our regularly-updated Android 4.4 release date article discussing all the recent news and rumours about which phones will be updated. And don't forget to check when you'll get Android Lollipop too.
Whether many older devices will get Android 4.4, in an official capacity, is debatable. We'll keep you posted.

The Company believes that it is in a very good position. The inventory orders we have recently paid for are due to arrive over the coming weeks, the gross margin from which will cover nearly all of our monthly overhead expenses through the end of this year. Additionally, the Company is beginning to realize results from the sales efforts of Cuore, a specialized 420 seat telemarketing and sales center organization that specializes in converting interested shoppers of a certain demographic into newfound buyers. The Cuore/MediPendant™ program began just a few weeks ago.
Mr. Adams continued, "For quite some time the MediPendant™ has had Spanish language capability, but we have recently begun enhancing the language capabilities to enable the device to be utilized in other countries. We are pleased to announce that we have begun shipments to International locations including the following: St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Lucia, Barbados, Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada, Monsettrat, Trinidad and Tobago, Dominica, Anguilla, Jamaica, St. Kitts and the Nevis. We are in process of completing an additional order bound for the European market. They have already ordered servers and software compatible with the MediPendant™. Our European partner has tested a customized sample of the MediPendant™ in their native language with success. They are currently in the process of translating the manuals and additional supplemental materials. Once that task is complete, they plan to place a substantial order. We will continue to enhance our MediPendant™ feature/function set and language capabilities to maintain our technical edge in the market. We are very pleased with the progress of the MediPendant™ program."

Gear Review
I strongly disagree with the reviews stating this wax is slow. It's true that it's not one of the faster waxes out there, but I've managed to get great speed using this wax. I think it all comes down to the base material of your board and your waxing/buffing skills.
But yea, this wax has a strong candy-like smell. The smell just took over my room when I opened the shipment package, and now I have to keep it hidden under a hat or in the drawer to keep the smell from spreading. Don't get me wrong, the wax smells great, but it's too strong to keep it out in the open. Anyway, this ones my first Magical Go-Go wax, and I'm willing to try more of their stuff in the future.

BAE Systems has resumed Eurofighter Typhoon deliveries to Saudi Arabia, despite the company having yet to conclude long-running price negotiations with Riyadh for part of the 72-aircraft acquisition.
"Discussions continue with the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia relating to the formalisation of price escalation on the Salam Typhoon programme," BAE says in an interim management statement issued on 8 May. However, it reveals "aircraft deliveries on the programme re-commenced in April".
Lloyd H gallery on flightglobal.com/AirSpace
The Royal Saudi Air Force received 24 Typhoons from BAE between 2008 and 2011, including six two-seat trainers, says Flightglobal's MiliCAS database. Its remaining 48 aircraft are also to be completed at the company's Warton site in Lancashire, with a contract modification signed in 2012 having enabled final assembly activities to resume. Continuing price discussions are focused on the addition of new capabilities to the service's final 24 examples.
Photographs posted on the internet since early this year have shown several new Typhoon trainers being flown from Warton and operating in UK low-level training areas with Saudi markings and tail registrations including 318, 321 and 322.
BAE declines to comment further on the recent deliveries, but one other source suggests that two new aircraft have been handed over so far.
Elsewhere in its statement, BAE says it has secured fresh orders valued at £2.3 billion ($3.5 billion) from customers outside the UK and the USA so far this calendar year. This included a £600 million contract received in May to provide undisclosed weapons via the Saudi British Defence Co-operation Programme.
The company says it expects modest growth in underlying earnings per share during 2013, despite the potential risks posed by US defence spending cuts and the ongoing Typhoon price discussions with Riyadh.

Oladimeji Sabur[1] Bankole (born 14 November 1969) is a Nigerian politician and former Speaker of the House of Representatives. The son of Abeokuta chief, Alani Bankole, he was a businessman before being elected to the House. Elected at the age of 37,[2] Bankole is the youngest Speaker in the history of the House.[3]
A Muslim[4] Egba,[5] Bankole was born in Abeokuta in what is now Ogun State on 14 November 1969. His parents are Alani Bankole, a businessman, former National Vice-Chairman of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP)[5] and Seriki Jagunmolu of Egbaland, and his wife, Atinuke Bankole, Ekerin Iyalode of Egbaland.[4]
Newspaper Thisday identifies Bankole's education as such: Baptist Boys High School, Abeokuta starting 1979; Albany College, London, England, starting 1985; University of Reading, Reading, England, starting 1989; University of Oxford's Officer Training College, Oxford, England, in 1991; and Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, US, in 2005.[4]
All Africa.com reports that he holds a professional certificate in Public Finance from Harvard University, USA. .[6]
Bankole states he never went to Sandhurst military academy but only took courses for military officers at Oxford University where he was in the Artillery Corps.[7]
Bankole is a polo player, and is a member of the Lagos Polo Club, where his position is defence.[4] He also enjoys football.[8]
Business career[edit]
Bankole was the Director of Freight Agencies Nigeria Limited from 1995 until 1998, Executive Director of Operations of West African Aluminium Products Limited from 1998 until 2004, and Director of ASAP Limited from 2000 until 2003.[4] He is also an economist.[9]
Political career[edit]
In 2002, Bankole was elected to the House of Representatives on the People's Democratic Party (PDP) ticket to represent the Abeokuta South Federal Constituency of Ogun State. He was Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on Finance while Aminu Bello Masari was Speaker,[10] (Farouk Lawan was Chairman of the committee)[9] and was also previously Chairman of the House Committee on Land Transport.[10] Other committees he has sat on are the panels on Defence, Internal Affairs and Banking, and Currency.[8]
Bankole was re-elected in April 2007.[4] He considers his legislative interests to be those related to defence and finance.[11]
House of Representatives Speakership[edit]
In September 2007, a committee questioned Speaker Patricia Etteh about her spending of ₦628 million ($4.8m) on home renovation and automobiles. She denied wrongdoing, but many representatives were unhappy with her attempts to defend herself, blows were traded on the floor of the House, and Etteh had to be escorted from the chamber.[12] Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and many top PDP members continued to back her,[13] but a large segment of the party, led by Lawan and including Bankole, called for her resignation.[10] It was reported that Bankole, among multiple other contenders, hoped to succeed her as early as 5 October 2007.[14]
After Etteh's resignation from the post on 30 October (along with her deputy, who was also caught up in the scandal),[15] Integrity Group (anti-Etteh) member Terngu Tsegba became interim speaker.[8] Samson Osagie of Edo State nominated Bankole for the post of Speaker, and Lynda Ikpeazu of Anambra State seconded the proposal. On 1 November, he was elected to succeed Etteh.[10] His challenger was Osun State Representative George Jolaoye, whom he beat by 304 votes to 20 (and 4 abstentions). Etteh was among those who voted against Bankole.[2] The new deputy speaker was Usman Bayero Nafada.[10]
On his election, Bankole said "I am taking over the mantle of leadership at a very difficult time. But these are hard times, we need to build confidence again and assure the populace that we are still their representatives. I want an independent house that Nigerians will be proud of, this is my first task."[8]
One week after his election, political opponents claimed that Bankole had not completed his National Youth Service Corps (N.Y.S.C) service, which is mandatory for all Nigerian university graduates under thirty years of age when they graduate, and called for his resignation over the issue.[16] Bankole provided his N.Y.S.C discharge certificate, ending the rumour.[17] On 22 June 2010,Bankole suspended 11 members of parliament indefinitely for disorderliness and fighting in the house.[18]
During his tenure as Speaker, the House of Representatives ensured the return of about 1 trillion naira unspent funds by Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDA's) as part of the annual budgetary process. Up until then, MDA's did not return unspent funds. Also, the House of Representatives discovered that about 5 trillion naira generated revenue were never remitted by MDA's for the past 5 years before investigation. Under Bankole, the House of Representatives accepted 328 motions, approved 282 resolutions and passed 136 bills. These bills include the Freedom of Information(FOI) Act and Fiscal Responsibility Act which ensured that all revenue-generating agencies of government present their budgets for scrutiny every year. The agencies, which include the CBN, NNPC, Customs, etc., spent trillions of naira yearly without appropriation by the National Assembly.[19]
Corruption charges[edit]
On 8 June 2011, Bankole was arraigned in court by Nigeria's anti-corruption agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) over a 16-count charge relating to contract inflation.[20]
On 13 June 2011, Bankole and Usman Bayero Nafada were arraigned in court by Nigeria's anti-corruption agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) over a 17-count charge bordering on alleged misappropriation of 10 billion naira loan borrowed while they were in office as Speaker and Deputy Speaker respectively.[21] However, on 31 January 2012, the court found Bankole and Nafada not guilty of all charges and proceeded to discharge and acquit them.[22]

I was introduced to hunting and fishing, activities that would forever shape how I felt about the world around me and the importance of conserving wildlife, as a child in upstate New York. I was about 8 years old when I caught my first fish. The catch was small, but I was so excited I decided I had to try for something bigger. I casted the line in and left it sitting for a bit. What I came back to was the kind of fish that stories are written about, an enormous northern pike. I'll never forget the pride I felt reeling in that big catch, the curiosity of not knowing at the time what was on the end of the line and even the childish fear that I'd lose the battle and get pulled into the water. The fish was so big (it was bigger than me at the time) that the local news came out and took a photo. I was hooked, and today, I enjoy fishing both freshwater and saltwater. At the time of my big childhood catch, fishing was a common skill that was passed down from one generation to the next. Children today are often not as lucky and I worry they will never get the opportunity to experience nature in the ways I did as a youth and as I do as an adult. The number of youth and adults participating in outdoor recreational activities such as fishing and hunting are dwindling with the invention of each new electronic device. The average youth spends 60 hours a week using entertainment media or media multitasking. Youth can identify more than 1,000 corporate logos, but can barely name 10 plants or animals living in their own neighborhood. This is a problem because we know that kids who do not directly engage in outdoor activities are less likely to develop a strong stewardship ethic for conserving America's wildlife.
This is why now, it is more important than ever to have youth programs such as the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's (FWC) kid's fishing programs and the FWC's new statewide initiative, the Florida Youth Conservation Centers Network (FYCCN). FYCCN is leading the effort to reconnect youth and families with traditional outdoor recreational activities and inspire support for fish and wildlife conservation. FYCCN includes "Wild Outdoors" centers that offer deep-woods experiences, as well as "Near Outdoor" sites, which offer experiences closer to children in their everyday lives. The Wild Outdoors experiences include activities like fishing, canoeing, shooting sports, hiking, camping and deep-woods orienteering. The Near Outdoors experiences may include an urban fishing pond or pier, archery, a local birding competition or a habitat program being taught in the schools, to name a few.
Weedon Island Preserve and Natural History Center on Tampa Bay is an excellent example of a Wild Outdoors center where children learn saltwater fishing and conservation first-hand.
But FYCCN is doing more than providing venues for outdoor opportunities. Through effective partnerships with schools, communities, youth organizations, volunteers, land owners and donors, we "connect the dots" between our partner programs in the Near Outdoors programs and the Wild Outdoors centers to create a network of outdoor enthusiasts who are working together to enrich and expand understanding of conservation and natural Florida. By working together, we are providing the programs, training and resources necessary to reach out to families who are disengaged from outdoor life and activities. With the education and guidance needed to understand and safely engage in outdoor activities, they learn to love the great outdoors and are willing to accept stewardship of our precious outdoor heritage. If parents have an interest in fishing or hunting, they will share that interest with their children.
Interested in helping create the next generation that cares? FYCCN is always in need of business and organizational partners, property owners, volunteers and manufacturers willing to help secure sites, resources, fund-raising support and financial contributions. Visit FYCCN.com to learn more.

When one mulls over the future of manufacturing, naturally the first question that comes to mind is: How we can we as a nation effectively mass produce cornerstone products, like a plastic bust of performer Will.i.am?
Luckily, Mr. Am–who last we heard was hurtling our planet towards a Martian attack–has ushered 3D printing into the mainstream by including it in his newest video, "Scream and Shout," also featuring the eminently GIF-able Britney Spears. At around 1:38 in the video, a 3D printer sitting on a platform displaying the Makerbot logo is seen printing thin layers of plastic to create a bust of that vital American commodity: Mr. Am's head. Read More
As Betabeat stood surveying the whimsical offerings of Montalvo Historical Fabrications and Souvenirs, a colleague reached out and, from among the Steve Jobs prayer candles and spontaneous marriage proposal packets, grabbed a bottle of "Dot-Com Bubbles" for a closer look. She quickly returned it with a rueful expression, remembering this was an art exhibit and not, despite all the price tags and other signs screaming "retail," an actual novelty shop.
"As Real as It Gets," a new exhibition at Tribeca's apexart, is about fictional brands made flesh, as it were, and we weren't alone in our confusion. Shortly thereafter, we saw curator Rob Walker, former "Consumed" columnist at the Times Magazine and author of Buying In: The Secret Dialogue Between What We Buy and Who We Are (Random House 2010), wave a couple away from one of the installations—a baby blue "bathtub synthesizer," for making music while bathing, explaining that it wasn't actually functional. Read More
At the Makerbot pop up shop in Nolita, you can purchase mini figurines made by high-tech 3D printers in shapes like cats for $5 a pop. They're a cute novelty, but there's nothing personal about them; they're basically mass-manufactured balls of plastic. But a new invention showing at an exhibition space in Japan puts a personalized spin on the 3D printing market. The Omote 3D printer is a photobooth, but instead of printing out your photo on paper, it prints a miniature replica of you. Read More
As much as we love the notion of 3D printing ourselves a pizza and sitting down to a 3D printed game of canasta at a 3D printed dinner table, it sometimes seems this snazzy technology is often used to produce little more than tchotchkes.
And then NASA goes and 3D prints some rocket parts. Read More
Apparently the advent of 3D printing technology is scary enough that before we're even able to print out a new pair of shoes, patent trolls Intellectual Ventures have secured a patent that might prevent the use of 3D printing technology for making really fun stuff like cars, or zeppelins.
MIT's Technology Review blog has taken a look at the patent and finds that it is a weirdly comprehensive attempt to enforce digital rights management (DRM) for items no one ever knew might need such protection: Read More
Goodness, the early-stage scene in New York City sure is getting crowded. Pretty soon investors are going to have to start throwing them 'bows if they want to get past their competitors and reach the most promising founding teams for so much as a hi-how-are-you chat.
The news today, via TechCrunch: Dave McClure's 500 Startups has just announced the addition of two "amazing geeks" to the team: Shai Goldman here in New York, and Pankaj Jain in India. They'll be venture partners, focused on making deals in their respective locations. Read More
This weekend, Betabeat braved the utter and complete nightmare that was the subway situation–seriously, no 7 trains into Manhattan? No N trains into Manhattan? The R running on the F line?–to check out the third annual World Maker Faire. Nothing would stand between us and the robots.
The highly appropriate setting was the New York Hall of Science, which is located on the site of the 1964 World's Fair. Rockets loomed above the check-in area, and talks were located in a refurbished pavilion that clearly showed its Jet Age origins. The crowd seemed composed of equal parts tinkering geeks, respectable parents with tots in tow, and tatted-up hipsters who'd ventured northward in search of a DIY fix. Read More
At the conclusion of the unveiling of MakerBot's latest 3D-printing marvel, Betabeat was treated to a look at the company's brand-new store, located at Mulberry and Houston Street. But before setting out (as the assembled reporters snacked on sliders and waited for our rides back to Manhattan) we got a bit more detail from CEO Bre Pettis about his hopes for the store and for the Replicator 2.
For one thing, "the store is a dream of mine," Mr. Pettis explained. Read More
"We leveled up to bring you this today," MakerBot CEO Bre Pettis told the crowd at the company's press conference in Brooklyn this afternoon.
The startup responsible for bringing 3D printing to the mainstream–with a nudge from Stephen Colbert, of course–announced a breakthrough: the fourth-generation of MarkerBot's 3D printing device, dubbed the Replicator 2. You'll see it soon enough. The gleaming metal rectangle graces the cover of the October issue of Wired. Read More

NY suing Donald Trump for faux university
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump Sunday for allegedly conning students out of thousands of dollars.
The lawsuit claims that Trumps online university, The Trump Entrepreneur Institute, acted as an unlicensed educational system that promised to teach Trumps real estate investing techniques.
Schneiderman says that over 5,000 people paid over $40 million to take courses from Trump himself or from instructors he claimed to have hand-picked.
Trump apparently did not choose a single professor at the institute and students did not receive the promised attention from an individual mentor. Many teachers ignored emails and phone calls after the seminar was over.
The petition says many people who paid for the courses were not able to make a single real estate deal and were left worse off than before enrolling.
Consumers with complaints against Trump University should file a complaint with the OAG. Complaint forms are available here.

Hey y'all! My name is Madeleine Cox but everyone calls me
Maddi. I am a junior at the University
of Southern Mississippi and a member of the pledge class of 2012. I decided to
pledge Chi Omega as a freshman for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I wanted to be
surrounded by a group of girls that I knew would share my morals, and secondly, because I knew that it would make me a better person. There has
never been a day that I have regretted this life-changing decision.
Currently, I serve as Chi Omega's
recruitment chair. This position requires me to prepare the chapter to recruit
new members. In doing so, I have come to
know and appreciate Chi Omega and it's heritage much more deeply than before. I have also been encouraged to step out of my
comfort zone and grow in ways that I never dreamed possible. This leadership position has definitely been
a positive experience for me and has prepared me to handle life after college.
On campus,
I am also involved in areas outside of Greek life. One of my favorite
extracurricular activities on campus is participating as a USM Eagle Ambassador
where I help in recruiting for the Southern Miss football team. This involves
conducting campus tours, answering questions for prospective players and their
parents, promoting USM and the football program, and working closely with the
Office of Admissions for USM. I am also
a member of several academic honor societies and enjoy attending sporting
events on campus with my friends. Off
campus, I enjoy trips to Conni Cones (so much so that they are about to name a
new flavor after me) and spur of the moment trips to New Orleans with my
friends. I also work part-time at a
local jewelry store. To potential new members, my biggest advice would be to
get involved! Get involved in Greek Life, get involved on campus and get
involved in the community. In so doing,
your life will be positively impacted as well as those around you.
My favorite
memory so far at USM is probably living in Wilber Hall my freshman year (yes,
seriously). I know what you are all thinking…gross… but honestly, it was the
best thing ever coming into college. Those community restrooms that everyone
dreads are the perfect place to meet new people. You'd be surprised at the
conversations that took place while brushing my teeth. And, for those of you who are fortunate
enough to live in Wilber, watch out for Pam.
She roams the halls at night. Scaaaary!
If I had to
describe myself in one word, it would be dedicated. I take a tremendous amount
of pride in everything that I do. It
might take me a little longer to get something done, but when I am finished, I can rest assured knowing a put forth my best effort. As this
year's Recruitment Chair, I am dedicated to making our recruiting
process one of the best!
My favorite
hobby would be just hanging out with friends and doing something totally
random…like going to NOLA at midnight with a group of girls to get beignets. I
cherish every chance I can with my sweet friends, because one day, we will actually
have to grow up, get a big girl job, be a wife and tend to children, and those
midnight trips to NOLA will be just a sweet memory.
Talents. Well, where do I begin? Ha ha. My
weirdest talent would be that I actually like to clean house. I mean, I really like it. I would rather
clean house than watch TV. As far as my idea of
happiness, I would have to say it is dinner around the table with my family. There is nothing better than an evening of
creamed corn, black eyed peas, okra (my Nana's is my favorite), sweet potatoes,
cornbread and crazy Cox family conversation.
And, believe me when I say the conversation is crazy! But I really love
this time with my family and don't want it to end.
is all about finding your home away from home.
Your family away from family.
Your sisters away from sisters. I found my home in Chi Omega and know
that you can find yours too. And, as always, Greek life TTT. Xoxo,
Madeleine Cox & the Epsilon Delta Chapter of Chi Omega

2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LT
Prosgreat looks, reliable, excellent handling in snow Conslacks stock horsepower for an average v6
Nice Smooth Ride — great car i've had this one for about half a year now and i haven't had any problems with this car yet! very reliable and you can pound miles on it with only wear parts to replace. handles great on turning and cornering but does lean a little. horsepower with the 3500 v6 is ok compaired to cars similarly priced. the ride is smooth and has the most room in it's class. excellent trunk space, i can fit all of my hockey goaltending gear in it with no problems. |
2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS
ProsPower, comfort, reliability, women love it, styling... Well basically everything Conscup holders. Sometimes when you drive aggressively the cup holders have trouble holding onto things. AND lack of performance upgrades.
Why Would You Buy Anything Else? — Has pretty good power, wish it had a little more. If you have big corners like a highway entrance or exit ramp you can confidently take the corners at 50-60MPH, which is quite a lot of fun. Exterior is clean and simple which is what makes this car so appealing in my opinion, Interior is pretty nice comfortable seats lots of head and leg room, even in the back seat. Fuel economy, well its a V8. I average 20.5MPG with a lead foot. Comfortable + fast + consistent handling = ALOT FUN to drive. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LT
ProsThe color, the back end! ConsThe interior feels cheap
Nice Looking Car! I'm Going To Keep This Car As Long As Its Feasible! — Great car, just hit 72,000K and so far no major mechanic issues. The muffler is starting to rattle.. but really makes it sound more beefy! Great acceleration and the option to use Flex Fuel (if they ever bring it back) is cool. I drive a lot of highway so I get on average 24.7MPG. My only complaint, the interior could have been built to last! Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LT
ProsThere are not many built in 2007 making it fairly rare to find one. ConsFront wheel drive, not a V8, horrendous blind spots.
2007 Monte Carlo Lt — Very nice looking car with good handling and decent power and a fairly good ride to it. Build quality is fine but with rattles/squeaks every now and then and it has needed some repairs over the years but only expected things. Gas mileage is in the low 17's and runs about $40 a week. Finally it is a fairly fun car to drive but its only flaw is that its not rear wheel drive and its many blind spots. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS
Prosvery fast Consto much on gas

2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS
ProsIt's a head turner, very quick and responsive and good on fuel. ConsExpensive maitenence
All That You Would Expect Out Of A 5.3l Sports Car. — Quick acceleration, beautiful interior, tight responive steering, nice exterior (could have looked more aggressive) on the down side, expensive tires, expenive tabs well... everything is good about it but the price. I love the overall drive and the fact that I get 28 mpg out of a 5.3L V8 Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LT
ProsLooks, Economy, Comfort, Affordability, Warranty ConsEngine Power
A Great Looking, Great Working, Ev Eryday Car. — Should've gotten an SS but the V6 is a gas saver, never had a single engine problem with it. Rock chipped my paint so now I've got a couple chips that are beginning to rust...miunscule but enough to annoy me... Primary Use: Commuting to work |
