Hulu Names New Head of Originals
Hulu continues to staff up its content team with the appointment of Beatrice Springborn as head of originals.
Springborn will join the online streamer on Monday from Storyline Entertainment, where she served as head of television, developing and producing projects that include the upcoming MTV series Happyland. Prior to Storyline Entertainment, she was senior vp at Caryn Mandabach Productions, overseeing development of genre and book adaptations for the international market. She also worked as executive vp TV and film production and development at Valhalla Motion Pictures, which produced and developed AMC's The Walking Dead.
Her appointment comes two months after Warner Horizon veteran Craig Erwich joined Hulu to head up the company's content initiatives. She replaces Charlotte Koh in the role, who departed the company after Erwich's hire.
"Beatrice has a strong background in television and a passion for Hulu," Erwich wrote in a blog post announcing Springborn's hire. "She will be at the helm to help us identify, initiate and drive the sourcing, development and production of premium shows in the Hulu Originals slate -- shows that are smart, distinctive and executed with the highest quality bar."
Last year, Hulu launched five new original series, including half-hour drama East Los High and dark comedy Deadbeat. Although they did not draw the same attention that rival Netflix has with dramas House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black, Hulu has brought all of them back for second seasons. The streamer noted during its May NewFronts presentation that it will invest more heavily in developing and producing original series and will triple its marketing budget next year to promote those projects.

So you are in holiday mode, probably lounging down at the beach or by a big open fire with the snow falling outside, depending on where you live. There's nothing on TV and you have read all the books of interest, so now what? Well, if you fancy yourself as an artist, you might like to enter a competition to design the livery for the first of the new Pipistrel Panthera aircraft and stand to take home 1,000 euro (approx. US$1,290). You have until January 10, 2012. Read More
Pipstrel ALPHA cuts the cost of flight training
European ultralight aircraft manufacturer Pipistrel has taken note of the ever increasing prices being quoted for entry-level Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) and has done something about it. Enter the ALPHA Trainer. Its 34-foot 6-inch wingspan, reliable Rotax 4-cylinder, 4-stroke engine and rugged landing gear makes it suitable for flight training, and its 108 knot (200 km/h) cruising speed is right up there with most of the fast boys.

Two years ago, aircraft designers were invited to build an electric airplane that could fly at least 200 miles (322 km) in under two hours, using less than one gallon (3.8 liters) of fuel per occupant – or the electrical equivalent. Whichever plane performed best would win its makers a prize of US$1.35 million. That was the idea behind the Green Flight Challenge, a NASA competition that was managed by the Comparative Aircraft Flight Efficiency (CAFE) Foundation, and funded by Google. Well, the challenge wrapped up last week, with the winners being announced this Monday. Pennsylvania's Pipistrel-USA team took first place, for its Taurus G4. Read More
As we've seen with the ongoing X-Prize model, competitions can be a great way to provide incentive for technological advancements in transport. While the latest example, the Lunar X Prize, has its sight set on the heavens, NASA is running a competition with objectives a little closer to the ground. The Green Flight Challenge is enticing creative types with a USD$1.5 million prize in which designers need to create an aircraft that is low cost, quiet, has a short take-off, is 'road worthy' and gets excellent passenger-miles per gallon.

I trust that the Chancellor's plan to make the cut in the 50p rate for those earning over £150,000 in the Budget, while cutting the salaries of public-sector workers in poorer parts of the country, indicates that the Coalition considers we are no longer "all in this together"?
Osborne claims that the move would provide a boost to the private sector in the North and South-west, arguing that employers in these areas cannot afford to recruit staff, owing to the relatively high public-sector wages.
What he really means is: "My corporate donors would like to lower their salaries around the country, but have to compete with annoying reasonably paid jobs in the public sector."
These jobs provide people with a modest but dignified income. Cutting their wages will only accelerate the "race to the bottom" and, as salaries fall in both the public and private sectors, cause more families to turn to welfare (tax and housing benefit credits), at the ultimate cost of the taxpayer.
This is a massive corporate handout, which will be paid for by an increased welfare bill, and quality of all public services, not just the NHS, will now be a postcode lottery. Sheer lunacy.
Julie Partridge
London SE15
George Osborne's Budget plans once again reveal the new Tory politics of envy.
Public-sector pensions are better than private ones, so cut the public-sector ones. Public-sector wages are better than private ones, so cut public-sector wages. The only cut the rich will face is in the top rate of tax . Look at who is funding the Tory party and you can see where these policies emanate from.
Little wonder that the Met is buying water cannon and rubber bullets.
James Forbes
Wallasey, Wirral
I wonder if the Chancellor's belief in regional pay will be rolled out to its logical conclusion and include Members of Parliament too.
After all, travel to and from the constituency, the cost of renting a flat in London and paying London-based staff is all covered by expenses; an MP's salary only needs to cover the costs of living and maintaining a home in the constituency.
I trust therefore that the Chancellor will put MPs at the front of the queue for this new policy, and that as an MP from the North-west he will willingly start with his own very ample salary.

Yobbish outbursts have no place at Cambridge
Dr Anne Alexander and others, in objecting to the suspension by Cambridge University of a student who took part in a protest against David Willetts (letter, 17 March) fail to grasp the basic principle of debate in a free and democratic society. It is the ability of a speaker to present their argument before a civilised audience without facing yobbish behaviour or unsolicited "poems".
As Dr Alexander and her colleagues are aware, there are many effective means of social action in a modern society, but downright bad manners is not on the list. Declaiming during Mr Willetts's speech was inconsiderate and clearly not a "peaceful protest". It was certainly a violation of the unwritten rules of etiquette in academia and the wider civilised world.
The offence is especially grave for a graduate student who will expect to defend his dissertation before his examiners without disruption. Competition for places on Cambridge's graduate courses is fierce. On accepting an offer, every student agrees to abide by university statutes. This includes upholding the atmosphere of tolerance and freedom of expression for which Cambridge is renowned worldwide.
On hearing his appeal, the University might do better to reinstate him on acceptance of a formal apology for his actions. Whatever the outcome, the episode highlights the uncomfortable but inescapable truth that radical reform is a bitter but necessary medicine that Cambridge must swallow in order to survive for another eight centuries.
Anthony Rodriguez
Staines, Middlesex
By chance a letter arrived yesterday from my college asking me to donate a regular sum to allow it to support students to make up for funding being withdrawn by the Government. It has now been binned. I hope all Cambridge alumni will stop all donations to their colleges until the university comes to its senses.

What alternative for the NHS?
I've lost count of the number of #killthebill tweets I've received over the past few weeks, but not one person has so far put forward any cogent alternative. During a long career spent improving efficiency in businesses, I have found that the most common defence of inherent inefficiency, and most difficult mindset to overturn, has always been "But we've always done it like that."
As a country, we are cursed by a "whose budget pays?" mentality which leads to arguments about care of the elderly that are not focused on the wellbeing of the person, but on shuffling responsibility (and cost) between the NHS and local authorities. Greater co-operation between the two, as envisaged in the Bill, at least has the potential to improve care and reduce the overall costs.
Andrew Whyte
In the 1870s, in her Notes on Lying-in Infirmaries, where facilities for women were concerned, Florence Nightingale contrasted the abysmal situation in the UK with the better arrangements in other nations. She wrote: "In France, Germany, and even Russia, they consider it woman-slaughter to practice as we do. In those countries everything is regulated by Government – with us, by private enterprise."
Handing our NHS back to the "Nasty Party" and its private enterprise friends and backers will, surely, move us back to what Florence Nightingale so perceptively wrote about so long ago.
Robert J Jones,
Chelmsford, Essex
The Government's rationale for changing the NHS is that it is less efficient than other countries. However, the evidence is against the Government as readers can judge for themselves, online, in a study which compared the NHS, the USA and 18 other Western countries, on reducing deaths, in an efficient and effective way. The NHS was the second most effective and efficient out of 20 countries (Pritchard & Wallace, Journal of Royal Society of Medicine, 2011).
Professor Colin Pritchard
Who displaced whom in Israel
Michael Gilbert's letter (15 March) regarding Britain's obstruction of "indigenous and settled Israelis" is misleading.
Israel did not exist until the British Mandate ended in 1948. He is referring to Jewish citizens of Mandate Palestine, over three quarters of whom arrived under the British administration. A minority of Jews who were indigenous Palestinians were divided between those who embraced the new ethno-religious nationalism which Zionism championed, and those who preferred the multi-confessional Palestine in which they had grown up.
As for "the 50 million Arabs" bent on eliminating "less than one million Israelis", Arab forces which entered Palestine amounted to approximately 21,500, against Jewish forces estimated at approximately 65,000. One cannot be sure, as no official figures exist, so I would allow Mr Gilbert some leeway, but not quite up to 50 million.
David McDowall
Richmond, Surrey
Khalid Haneef (letter, 15 March) writes that David Ben Gurion wrote to his son: "We will expel the Arabs and take their place." But that quote is false. Here is what Ben Gurion wrote to his son in 1937: "We do not wish and we do not need to expel Arabs and take their place. All our aspiration is built on the assumption – proven by all our activity in the Land [of Israel] – that there is enough room in the country for ourselves and the Arabs."
Dr Jacob Amir
When in Rome, talk of England
Further to recent correspondence about the use of England to mean Britain as a slur on the other home nations in the Union, judging by the way that the words "England" and "Britain" are often interchanged without much distress here in Italy, it would seem that England's perfidious bid to erase their partners from the history of the United Kingdom might have deeper, more intractable roots to pull up.
For example, a recent article in a respectable Italian magazine on the Battle of Trafalgar talked about the "English fleet" repeatedly. Where's a good Scottish nationalist to turn on that one? On the other hand, a newspaper I read today had it that the botched rescue attempt of the hostages in Nigeria was the fault of "the English"... so perhaps it might sometimes be better to accept any gift that comes along, however misleading.

Understand autism
The High Court ruling about Josh, a young autistic man inappropriately restrained by policemen (report, 15 March) shows clearly the need to improve awareness of learning disabilities among the public – especially those delivering public services.
Our support staff who work with people with autism often experience situations where unusual behaviour is misunderstood. Whether it be outright bullying or minor insensitivity, discrimination begins with ignorance. We have recently delivered training for GPs to improve awareness of autism. Perhaps the police force should be next?

Just average mathematics
Dave Hyden (letter, 16 March) implies that a claim that "one in five pupils" was achieving "below average" standard in English is mathematically nonsensical. It depends on which measure was being used to represent the average.
If the mean pupil achievement was the measure, then a figure of one in five below average is perfectly possible. In a cohort of, say, five pupils, who had scored 15, 55, 60, 65 and 70 per cent, the mean score would be 53 and one in five pupils would have failed to achieve it. If the median was being used then Mr Hyden could have a point.
Dr Alfred Venables
A new age
Every UK institution must be considering contingency plans for 2014 when Scottish citizens will take their leave of the Union; I would imagine that your sister paper, i, is contemplating such plans but perhaps it would be better to take a truly pro-active approach and change its title in advance of the referendum.
Sales of the paper would soar. My suggestion for the new title is Aye. It goes without saying that your own title is quite adequate as it stands.

Build sideways
Anyone reading An Architect in Islington by Harley Sherlock will realise that there is no reason to build "up" to increase housing density (letter, 16 March): the Georgian terrace pattern is equally dense and (to most of us) much more acceptable. And you get gardens with the houses.

Jeff Lerner | October 25, 2011 | Comments
A look at two issues the social site must address.
I had just completed the three-step engagement process. Step one, as is tradition, was getting the blessing of my future parents-in-law. Step two was popping the question. And step three? Switching my Facebook status to "Engaged." I barely had time to stare at how weird that looked when advertisers descended upon their new mark. Wedding rings, wedding locations, wedding photographers, honeymoon discounts - it was clear my friends and family weren't the only ones who cared I was getting hitched.
Seeing targeted Facebook ads, of course, wasn't a new experience for me, as I'm sure it's not for you. But, in this moment of post-proposal bliss, I really took stock in just how unique Facebook's ability is to micro-target ads to your interests, personality, and demographics. Many of us have a mixed relationship with the site - loving its social sharing abilities while remaining wary of what privacies we have to give up along the way. Still, the amount of time and information we feed it make it an advertiser's dream. And as an advertiser, I know paid promotion on Facebook can be hugely successful.
Facebook, however, has a few advertising issues that must be resolved as it grows.
Today, I highlight two issues among companies wanting to advertise on Facebook. As always, whether or not an online advertising campaign is right for you depends on your specific conversion need (or lack thereof) and the budget you have to allocate to the campaign. That being said:
Issue 1: Analytics Need to Improve
Any online advertiser or agency worth their salt knows that having clear analytics is critical to knowing how well your dollars are being spent. I've talked about it before, but many companies are currently throwing money at online advertising campaigns that aren't working - they just don't know it because they don't have a handle on their analytics tracking. With Google AdWords, there are no excuses for this because tracking and reporting mechanisms are second to none. Facebook's analytics have improved, but still have a way to go. (And I bet that anyone who is also familiar with AdWords would agree that there is a big discrepancy.)
As stated, targeting options on Facebook are fantastic. The next step needs to be building out a best-in-class analytics interface. They're certainly on the right track, however, as the analytics tools continue to improve and should take a big step forward with an upcoming release.
Issue 2: Personal Targeting Can Get Too Personal
Some advertisers remain wary of Facebook's advertising model because of the potential harm it can do from a public relations perspective. Suppose an engagement was cancelled and someone updated his or her status to read, "The engagement is off." Because of targeting, that person could still get all kinds of wedding ads - ads that are now an unwanted reminder. Advertisers like to be in control, and there is really no way to discern between positive and negative life events. This is a challenge for Facebook (without getting even more intrusive: imagine ads for re-entering the single life now targeting that person).
But even with positive or neutral life events (or demographics), some advertisers fear that their ads will be perceived as, well, creepy. As helpful as ads are intended to be, the perception of privacy remains a huge hurdle for Facebook, and super-targeted ads are often cited as example number one.
A Quick Word on Facebook Timeline
And what about Timeline? While it'll be interesting to see how Facebook's advertising platform changes alongside its most significant site modification in years, Timeline will follow the Facebook goal of getting users to spend even more time on the site and offer up even more information. And if my scanning of childhood pictures to complete my life's history is any indication, it'll work well.
Have you used Facebook advertising? Are you against it because of one of the issues I mentioned, or because of something else?

What I want to know is…. HOW BIG ARE THE FLEAS??
And in the death, as the last few corpses lay
Rotting on the slimy thoroughfare
The shutters lifted in inches
In temperance building high on poacher's hill
And red mutant eyes gaze down on hunger city
No more big wheels Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats
And ten thousand peoploids split into small tribes
Coveting the highest of the sterile skyscrapers
Like packs of dogs assaulting the glass fronts of love-me avenue
Ripping and rewrapping mink and shiny silver fox, now legwarmers

There's a book, called YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE, that lays out in clear terms the simple steps that lead to financial independence. Nothing fancy: Just spens wisely when you're atsrting out, save everything you can, moderate your needs and wants — and before too long you'll be able to live comfortably off the interest from your savings, and you can tell the workaday world to go screw itself. BUT… if you're saddled with huge debt from the get-go, you will find that status MUCH more difficult to achieve. So I don't think this whole student-loan kerfuffle is any accident - the System does NOT want people to succeed in this way. It WANTS people to remain lifelong debt slaves, always trying to keep up — elsewise, they might start, you know, making trouble. (Note that if/when you *do* get your loans paid, then you'll be able to get… a MORTGAGE! See how this works?)

First Lutheran Church can retire debt
Sitting at a table in the "bride room" of First Lutheran Church in Detroit Lakes, Pastor Dave Peterson said that without the 2001 addition to the church, a meeting in that room wouldn't be possible. While the church has reaped the benefit of having the much needed addition for the last 12 years, it's also put a strain on other improvements the church has needed. Each month, the church pays more than $10,000 for its mortgage.

Non ho incontrato Scott ma ci siamo tenuti in contatto via mail
L appartamento é molto carino e vicino alla 3th road e al mare
Good location !!
The place is a great spot in Santa Monica. Scott makes it easy to check in, and the accomodations are very comfortable. And the location makes it easy to get to the beach, and easy to wander downtown. What more could you ask for?
This is an amazing apartment right in the heart of Santa Monica. Everything you need is nearby and just a short walk away. It's also great that there is underground parking.we loved the fish tank with the amazing fish and the fact that they kiss the surface of the water to tell us when they need feeding.The bed is amazingly comfortable and the hot water is hot and the shower is powerful. Overall a fabulous apartment really well set up. Thanks for everything!
Scott was a very good host who made accessing the unit and garage space very easy. The building was in an incredible location in downtown Santa Monica. The unit was very clean and had everything that was needed. I recommend this place for anybody staying in Santa Monica.
This Santa Monica rental is in a great location - close to everything. Nicely furnished, it's comfortable and has a great "feel".
From our point of view, the fish tank in the apartment is key to this. It's surprising how much being responsible for them really makes the place feel more like home. Great touch!
Some problems surfaced during our stay. Most of them were maintenance-type items, like a dirty oven setting off the smoke detectors. In the end they all proved to be manageable.
FYI, there is now a requirement to "register" your car for the assigned parking slot, which wasn't mentioned in the instructions, I think because it just happened. We came down one morning to find a warning note threatening towing. Luckily, the note included a number where we were able to register the car by voice mail.
Since Scott is an offsite landlord, it sometimes takes a little time for him to respond, but he does respond.
Scott met me at the unit and was very nice an helpful. He left and I really enjoyed my 3 days stay. Everything is as described and it is located just blocks from shopping and lots of food. The kitchen was equipped to cook too though. It was clean but the carpet was showing a lot of stains and needs cleaned but no big deal... I'm sure that is typical on AirBnB units that get a lot of visitors. Thumbs up to the place. Will return.

I'm 33, and year ago I decided to hang up the security of a corporate job and travel the world... 18 months later I'm still traveling. To help me pay for my adventures I've listed my Santa Monica apartment on Airbnb.
I'm a 4th generation native to Los Angeles and happy to help you see the great parts of LA that aren't in the Guidebooks.
I look forward to connecting with people traveling to Santa Monica and aim to make each guest experience this beautiful place like a local.
Thanks for checking out my place and I hope to talk with you soon!

9 Aug, 2014 - Sittingstone Lake, AB
For about an hour I had a mixed flock of ~100 Least and Semi-palmated Sandpipers within about 15 feet of me so managed to get some pleasing close-ups of these tiny little peeps. I was in plain view & the best part was just the feeling of knowing (well, technically, me choosing to believe) they didn't mind me at all.
showmesavings, tquist24, MorboKat, and 6 other people added this photo to their favorites.
Fantastic details! That's super close!
Beautiful details where they need to be, with a wonderfully shallow DoF. Great close-up of this Sandpiper !
Thanks for adding your photo to the Best of The Birds group.
Very close! Beautiful expression and details.
Excellent! When you can see that kind of detail around the eye you know you have a winner!
Wonderful Portrait with excellent detail!
Great capture and detail.
Simply fantastic.
Wonderful Photo !
This photo appears on the home page of All About Birds, a free online bird resource from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, during the week of August 28-September 4, 2014. Thank you for Birdsharing, and for helping people learn about birds.
Fantastic closeup!

Developer Prismatic Games holding Kickstarter.
Prismatic Games is seeking funding for a new Wii U exclusive titled Hex Heroes. The developers describe the game as a mix of Real Time Strategy and a couch party title such as Mario Party. The title would use the Wii U gamepad effectively as one player would manage strategy and resources, while four others would fight and gather resources.
The title looks innovative at least, and Prismatic has a modest funding goal of 80,000 dollars, with features like online play to come if stretch goals are reached. Cameos from current and upcoming indie titles like Hyper Light Drifter, Trine and even web show Game Grumps will be included in the complete title.
If you're interested in the project, and wish for a better understanding of how the game would work, feel free to check out the Kickstarter page.

Planning Your Crusin' Weekend at Crusin' Pallooza
It's been a long time coming and with Summer now officially here, more people will be enjoying outdoor activities like Cruisin' Pallooza, this weekend in Whitney Point.
It's been a long time coming and with Summer now officially here, more people will be enjoying outdoor activities like Cruisin' Pallooza, this weekend in Whitney Point.
iStock PhotoI love Crusin' Palloza for the excitement and energy that fills the air in Whitney Point. If you're a car enthusiast as I am, this is one event you won't want to miss. At last year's Crusin,' I met people that came from as far as Albany. It's just a lot of fun.
People in the Southern Tier tend to get bummed out when we experience a long stretch of rainy weather like we have experienced in the Binghamton area over the last few weeks. There's nothing you can do about it and there are some options if you are on vacation or if you just want to cheer yourself up
Looking to eat out on Thursday? Want to help out Wendy's Walk for Kids? Want to meet your favorite Binghamton Met? If you said yes, then I have the answer.
Little Venice and the Binghamton Mets are doing a benefit for the the Wendy's Walk for Kids on Thursday from 5:00-8:00
I never miss the Greek Festival. Some consider Memorial Day the unofficial kickoff to Summer, whereas, I always think of the Greek Festival as my Summer kick off. I know what you're saying, how can a church festival be so much fun? Trust me it is as you always run in to someone you know.
When was the last time you visited the Binghamton Zoo at Ross Park? The season is now underway with a great schedule of events that keep Southern Tier families interested in this historic destination
How old were you when you were treated to your first circus? I must have been 6 years or so and I remember it vividly.
I would keep the circus tickets my Dad picked up on my night stand and would show it to all my friends in the neighborhood
Soaking up that Binghamton sunshine and seeing the thermometer top 80 degrees, has almost everyone itching to get outside to enjoy a Binghamton Mets game, catch a race at Tioga Downs or the start of festival season.
Binghamton has always been rich in festivals.
The weather is going to be gorgeous this weekend and if you're thinking of having friends over for a cookout you could serve up the typical hot dogs and hamburgers, but if you want something a little different this weekend, here are five things you didn't know you could cook on the grill.
Today is World Wish Day. Dunkin' Donuts is doing thier part to help make wishes come true in the Southern Tier.
Today is the last day to stop in at Dunkin' Donuts and buy your $1 Make-A-W

Crodelle moves to new Latham restaurant
LATHAM — If, like me, you are a fan of such dishes as veal alla tres moustarde, veal shanks osso bucco or fettucine con la mache, there's a new place in town with a very familiar hand preparing them. Ray Crodelle, formerly of the iconic D'Raymond's in Loudonville, is heading the kitchen at the new […] [Read More]

Rob G - For The Hood ft. Dallas Blocker
Artist: Rob G
Featuring: Dallas Blocker
Producer: Beanz & Kornbread
Album: The Inauguration
Avg Rating: 2.9 ( 21 votes )
Although Rob G has been promoting his upcoming debut The Inauguration since last summer, with singles such as Reppin' My Block, How You Like Me Now, and Table Dancer, his label, Universal Republic, has yet to put his album on store shelves. Over that period of time his son's mother sadly passed away, but what would be a career-ender for many artists hasn't stopped this Houston hustler. Moving forward, Rob explains his musical motivations on his new single, For The Hood. Hookman Dallas Blocker delivers strongly with Beanz & Kornbread doing the same with their boardwork, but neither eclipses G's impassioned flow. The Inauguration is currently set for release later this summer.

One of the surprises of the season is Roland Emmerich's Anonymous, which opens Friday amid ongoing controversy over its premise: that William Shakespeare did not write his plays and poems, and the Earl of Oxford did. Screenwriter John Orloff has been obsessed with this mystery since his college days; the screenplay served as his ticket of admission to Hollywood. First, Shakespeare in Love put Anonymous on the back burner, to be resurrected decades later by German digital master Emmerich, best known for such action adventures as Day After Tomorrow and 2012.

With the debate about its Oscar chances heating up and the film now available on DVD and Blu-ray, Matt Brennan's "Now and Then" column this week revisits Terrence Malick's Palme d'Or-winning The Tree of Life. The Tree of Life marks director Terrence Malick's fifth feature in the 38 years since his debut, Badlands. It's an output that might seem thin at first glance: Woody Allen, in the same period, directed 40 (!) films, some of which (Annie Hall, Husbands and Wives) deserve to be saddled with the word "classic." But Mailck's genius — and, watching The Tree of Life again, I think that's a fair word to use — can't be seen in traditional terms....Read More »
Monday night's mystery screening of Martin Scorsese's work-in-progress 3-D Hugo (featurette below) marks my last screening at this year's New York Film Festival. The reason that the movie was shown without completed effects or a final score (by Howard Shore) is that it's a cinephile's dream, and the NYFF audience couldn't have been a more receptive crowd. While the movie should work with families over the Thanksgiving holiday, and producer Graham King (nervously pacing in the rear of the theater as ushers passed out 3-D glasses) assured me that they wouldn't have shown the film if the movie wasn't going to finish on time, Paramount wanted to ...Read More »
Brian Selznick, the author of The Invention of Hugo Cabret, a 2007 genre-bending children's book, was inspired by turn of the 20th-century film pioneer Georges Méliès. Perhaps that's why Selznick's book seems to translate so easily to the screen.Read More »
Midnight in Paris is shaping up as not only Woody Allen's widest release ever (1038 screens, more than Anything Else), but the filmmaker's biggest hit ever; it's on track to outscore Hannah and Her Sisters's $40 million domestic gross. Midnight in Paris dropped only 10% last weekend, for a total $21...Read More »
What motivates a groggy, jet-lagged scribe to crawl out of bed for an 8:30 AM press screening of Pirates of the Caribbean? Schadenfreude. The word on the Croisette was that the fourth Pirates installment was lousy. Safe to say I wasn't expecting to have a good time. (I didn't even see Number Three, ...Read More »
Women directors really do have a tough time. So many factors work against them, no matter how successful they are, in terms of what the powers that be will let them do. Big-budget action films? Mimi Leder and Kathryn Bigelow are among the few who have been allowed into that club. Back in the day whe...Read More »

My wife and i use Galaxy s3 phones. Recently hers turned itself off in the night and wont turn on again. It was running a stock ROM unrooted. Battery is OK (tried on my phone). When I switch on I get the words Samsung Galaxy s3 but it goes no further. I can get into download mode but PC doesnt recognise the phone and wont boot to recovery using the 3 key press. In download mode I get an android picture and the word downloading... but unsure quite what it might be or not downloading. If I pug in to power I get a pic of a battery which shows no animation, colour and the bar is at zero. (I wondered if this was the problem I have seen documented of sudden unexplicable bricking of the S3)
I plan to leave it a few hours like this in download mode with poer cable on to see what happens now but maybe there is someone who can give advice even if its "buy a new phone".... The top L of the screen says
Product Name:
Custom Binary Download: no
Current Binary: Samsung official
System status:Custom
Thanks a million you clever folks

Why Does My Crape Myrtles Have Two Different Color Blooms?
The last few years my Crape Myrtle tree has had white blooms. This year it has some white blooms and some light pink blooms.
I've never really liked the white blooms so I'm happy to see the pink ones. But I'm curious as to how this happened. Can the color of Crape Myrtle blooms be changed by different chemicals, fertilizers, or other additives (as in Hydrangeas)?
By the way, I LOVE the purple Crape Myrtles I occasionally see in other people's lawns around town. Does anyone know the names of any of the purple types of Crape Myrtles?
Thanks . . . and happy gardening!
I just wish my Crape Myrtles would bloom!! They are always late though....thinking of fertilizing again - been several months (use MG Shake N Feed) - Dennis the Menace's rains can either wash it in, or wash it away i guess.
HEre's a link w/pics and descriptions of the various kinds...FYI....
Here is a link that might be useful: Clemson - Crape Myrtles
I have one that is light pink on one side and white on the other too. and it's not two different trees because you can trace up one limb and find branches for each color. I could never figure it out, but it's the hardiest thing. Had it at my old house and it was top heavy so it kept blowing over in its pot, therefore it never got any water.It lived like that for two years. As we were moving I threw it in the back of the moving van. It was very light because there was no dirt or water in the pot, only roots. Planted in real dirt, it quickly grew as tall as our second story. We call it our miracle tree.
Young cuttings will sometimes bloom out a different color the first time. Kind of a shocker...makes me think I got the tags mixed up and then they bloom the color they were intended to bloom. I have one dark red that bloomed out red with a pure white picotee...shame it went back to plain dark red. ;O) I think it would be neat to plant about 3 colors in the same planting hole....maybe pink white and lavender.
I bought and planted a crepe myrtle from a central Louisiana nursery, and bought it when it was in bloom. It was dark bright pink, and for several years after it bloomed as such. I have had it for about 15-20 years. I live in deep south Texas on the coast. For the past few years it has had a mix of bright pink and light pink-whiter blooms at the same time. It is only one trunk which branches at about 3 feet off the ground, and the blooms are evenly distributed, so I think it is something lacking in our soil. usually it tests at about neutral, where La. soil is usually acidic,or else I am bleaching the blooms with gray water. Which is what we use to water our yard freq.

All-terrain annihilator.
Jake Blauvelt throws almost impossibly-stylish tricks in some of the most insane terrain around, so it should come as no surprise he demands a boot that provides uncompromising response, support, and cushioning. His signature Adidas Men's Blauvelt Snowboard Boot has a stiff flex in a high-tech package to help you conquer any feature or line that you come across.
The dual zone speed lacing system is quick and easy to use, and it allows you to independently adjust the upper and lower zones of the boot so you can dial in the perfect fit. Ultralon foam in the liner conforms to the shape of your foot for a custom fit, and it's lined with Merino wool to help your foot stay dry and warm. An internal heel harness keeps your heel securely locked down to reduce foot fatigue and ensure quick response.
Molded EVA around the midsole and in the footbed absorbs impact to save your feet from harsh landings and choppy runs. The footbed is also equipped with an odor-neutralizing material made from recycled coffee grounds to keep your boots from getting too funky. Continental rubber in the outsole is temperature-resistant to help you maintain traction in the coldest environments.

- Heat-moldable liner with Ultralon foam

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
The lacing system might take some time to get used to, but once you dial these guys in its smooth sailing. They might feel a bit snug when you first get them because of the foam liner. I recommend walking in them around the house for a bit to break them in a little. I used these for about 6-7 hours the last time I was out, and my feet have never been so comfortable. It says its stiff, but they are not that bad and give me enough support for my bad ankles. They are not overly bulky and they look bada*s . If your feet start to hurt or go numb then you probably have the inner liner too tight. I had this problem on my first run, but once you find the sweet spot you can wear them all day. I will post updates as the season progresses, but so far my initial impression are stellar. I recommend 100%.

Prince's Hip Dilemma
"secret surgeries" huh? at least he hasn't ruled out common sense.
He's in A LOT of pain so I hope he gets one done soon. What're they going to do - Unwitness him?
Prince is a witness huh? "Prince, would you like to join us in the kingdom of heaven?" "Shit yeah!" *high pitched sensual moaning follows*
Be normal, have surgery please.
Had no idea he was a Jehovah's Witness.
i hope he gets better soon
what religion do you think he will be after he comes out of surgery?
There are plenty of surgeons and hospitals that strictly work without blood transfusions cause they are absolutely terrible out dated methods to work with. He has enough money to get a bloodless surgery, and reduces his risks of getting any diseases from someone else blood. My aunt got hepatitis C from a blood transfusion and someone else i know got an std, so its not the smartest thing to go with.
random doctor expert to the rescue
Dr. Cox could fix him.
i honestly read the whole article thinking of the other meaning of hip
Prince needs Dr. House
Looks like all the mad air-sexin' circa Purple Rain is finally catching up with him.
he doesnt need Dr. house he is house!....using a cool cane and popping pain pills, thats all you need!
....and i dont care
from too much thrusting
What're they going to do - Unwitness him?
Religion is fucking stupid sometimes. I hope we don't lose ANOTHER great guitar player.

Oh, Kanye. I love you.
For those not part of his million and half followers on Twitter, let me inform you of everyone's favorite ranter's latest rant. On Tuesday night, Kanye West took to the internet to, once again, call out all them punkasses who make his life so gosh darn hard. The victim this time? Matt Lauer and The Today Show.
What sparked the incident was 'Ye's interview on the Today Show. Lauer asked him about the infamous Hurricane Katrina incident four years ago where Kanye made one of his most insightful statements: "George W. Bush doesn't care about black people." In the past week, this has all re-emerged because W. told Lauer, while doing an interview to promote his new book, that West's comment was the low-point in his presidency (yes, even lower than that one time Dick Cheney accidentally shot Harry Whittington while hunting). Anyway, West identified with Bush and dealing with an American public that hates you, citing the ever so famous "Imma-let-you-finish" moment with Taylor Swift. So, everything is cool now, right? Well, sort of.
Although George and 'Ye seem to have patched things up (rumor has it W. will make an guest appearance on West's upcoming album), Kanye is still pissed off at Lauer because supposedly, Lauer was a huge dickhead during the interview.
"Very judged very scrutinized very criticized! I want everyone to know I have lows all the time but I make it through them!" West tweeted.
The interview hasn't aired in full yet so we can't tell exactly what made Kanye so mad, but clearly something set him off. I can't imagine Lauer was that much of a dick, though. Who knows. Regardless, I can't help but feel a little bad for Ye. The poor guy is in the spotlight all the time, and anything he ever says or tweets is sure to be picked up by the media and broadcast all over the world. But whatever, he is a celebrity, so he should learn to deal with the critics. And speaking of spreading his thoughts all over the media, here's the entire rant. 30 Rock enthusiasts, don't forget to toss a "Liz Lemon" in front of each tweet.
