Sierra/Affinity Will Launch Matthew Fox Epic 'Emperor' at Cannes
Sierra/Affinity will shop Matthew Fox's historical epic Emperor, directed by Peter Webber, to foreign buyers at the upcoming Cannes film market.
Set in post-World War II Japan, Emperor also stars Tommy Lee Jones as the legendary Gen. Douglas MacArthur, while rising Japanese actress Eriko Hatsune has joined the cast as the female lead. Webber is currently shooting Emperor in New Zealand before moving the production to Japan in late March.
Fox plays Gen. Bonner Fellers, a member of MacArthur's staff and a leading expert on Japan. He's charged with reaching a decision of historical importance: Whether Emperor Hirohito should be tried and hanged as a war criminal.
Interwoven throughout the political saga is Feller's quest to find Aya Shimada (Hatsune), a Japenese exchange student he met and fell in love with years earlier in the U.S.
Emperor is a co-production between Fellers Film and Krasnoff/Foster Entertainment. Yoko Narahashi, Gary Foster, Eugene Nomura and Russ Krasnoff are producers.
"We are proud to be bringing a film of this caliber to the international marketplace. The talent of Peter Webber is already greatly apparent as he shapes this romance agains the backdrop of a pivotal period in history," Sierra/Affinity CEO Nick Meyer said.
In making its pitch, Sierra/Affinity will show buyers footage from the film.
Foster said Hatsune is a great addition to the cast of Emperor. "Eriko was a great discovery and she will be the perfect complement for our all-star cast and award-winning crew," he said.
CAA is selling the film in the U.S.

Jimmie twosome busts out
Junior Michael Brousseau broke teammate Garrett Tenney's school mark in the weight throw on Thursday in Bemidji.
Tenney must have taken that personally.
The University of Jamestown senior responded by later besting Brousseau's mark of 54 feet, 11.25 inches. He threw a 55-9.25, re-claiming his record. Both throws were good enough to qualify for NAIA Indoor Nationals.

Though fast and easy to use, the LaCie Mirror Portable Hard Drive's attention-seeking design is the only reason to pay the premium price.
The devices on this page represent the best among their respective categories.
The LaCie Little Big Disk Thunderbolt 2 is worth every penny of its hefty price tag, but only to those needing a super-fast and compact storage device.
The Patriot Aero is a fast and competent mobile drive that unfortunately doesn't have enough new features to make it stand out.
Samsung's midprice Series 5 UltraTouch looks and feels like a more expensive machine, but keeps it simple by skipping the complex hybrid mechanics of so many new Windows 8 systems.
If you're moving up from a hard drive, the SanDisk Ultra Plus is totally worth its price.
If you're on a market for a high-end solid-state drive for your computer, be it a PC or a Mac, look no further than the Plextor M5 Pro Xtreme.
With or without its new Fusion hybrid drive, Apple finally has a Mac Mini that competes well against mainstream Windows PCs in the same price range.
Those with a notebook computer, especially a MacBook Air, will find the G-Drive Slim a very good companion.
Fast, flexible, rugged, and affordable, the LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt is one of the best high-end portable drives on the market.
Budget desktops might not be all that exciting, but the Gateway SX2870-UR10P slim tower shows you can still find a worthwhile day-to-day PC for under $500.

Former Cardinals running back Josh Scobey enters his third season in the team's scouting department and first as an area scout after being elevated to the position in May, 2014. His primary area of responsibility with the Cardinals is scouting the western region of the country.
Scobey previously worked with the Cardinals as a pro scout in 2013 where he helped scout prospects in the NFL, CFL and Arena Football League. He joined the team as a scouting assistant in May, 2012 after serving as an intern in 2010.
A sixth-round pick (185th overall) of the Cardinals in the 2002 NFL Draft, Scobey played in 62 games over six seasons in the NFL. After spending the 2002 season on injured reserve with a thumb injury, he led the NFL in kickoff returns in 2003 with 73 for 1,684 yards and a touchdown. He was claimed off waivers by Seattle in 2005, and totaled 1,326 yards on 59 kickoffs and was named a captain in Super Bowl XL in his first season with the Seahawks. He played in three games with the Buffalo Bills in 2007 before finishing his career by returning to the Seahawks for four games that same season.
For his career, Scobey had 189 kickoff returns for 4,160 yards (22.4 yard avg.), 27 carries for 89 yards and 19 receptions for 200 yards.
Scobey was a two-time All-Big 12 selection at Kansas State after a standout junior college career at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M. In two seasons at Kansas State, he set an all-time school record with 31 rushing touchdowns and ranked in the top 10 in program history with nine 100-yard rushing games, 1,981 rushing yards, and 186 points scored. He also set a single-season school record with 1,263 rushing yards on 240 carries as a senior in 2001.
He was an honorable mention All-American selection by USA Today at Del City High School in Oklahoma City, OK where he set a single-season rushing record with 1,819 yards and 21 touchdowns in 1997. He graduated from Kansas State with a degree in Social Science.

Miami Vice movie's anti-piracy line a plant?
There was a scene in Miami Vice where they were discussing the big bad drug dealers, and how international they were. The good guys listed all the thing the bad guys were capable of bringing into the US, Cocaine, Heroin, etc etc. They listed it as coke from Coumbia, heroin from Afganistan, X from Y and A from B. Pretty normal stuff. At the end, they added 'pirated software from China'. Blink.Link (Thanks, Charlie!)
Now, had they listed anything other than drugs and software, it might not have been so blatant. If they had listed pirated software any other time in the movie, I might not have noticed, but this one was pretty obviously a plant. Don't go see the movie, it isn't worth it, but if you do, pay attention for this bit, you will see exactly how much it stands out. The movie makers could not afford people to do decent dialog, and it seems the DRM infectors could not either.
Why the CBC doesn't need DRM
First, there are many other public broadcasters who not only reject DRM, but have adopted open licenses (RadioBras in Brazil makes all of its content available under Creative Commons licenses). Second, there is no legal requirement to use DRM under Canadian law. If certain rights holders demand DRM use, the CBC has an alternative. It can reject those demands and choose instead to use only music that rights holders permit to be broadcast without DRM.Link (Thanks, Michael!)
There is no shortage of such music. In addition to the hundreds of thousands of Creative Commons licensed songs and the thousands of classical music recordings in the public domain, the majority of Canadian independent labels reject the use of the DRM. Those labels are responsible for 90 percent of new Canadian music, so it seems to me that the CBC will have lots of Canadian content to choose from in its broadcasts and streams. Most of the music that may require DRM protection is likely that from foreign labels promoting foreign artists. While it would be great to include them in CBC broadcasts, Canada's public broadcaster should be rejecting DRM and moving toward as open a platform as possible. The inclusion of greater Canadian content and the ability to truly meet its mandate to be as accessible as possible to all Canadians make this the obvious path to take.
Aussie mall defends its photons from terrorists
Naive Australians have aided the cause of terrorism by walking around with their own cameras, taking photos of the "no-photography" signs, not suspecting that their cameras are secret members of Al-Qamera, and that many of the photons they "innocently" capture are sent via steganographic means to
Afghanistan Iraq Iran for processing at secret photon-camps.
"At no times do we permit photography in our back-of-house areas, in or surrounding our restrooms and within individual retail tenancies," a spokeswoman said. "There are safety, security, privacy and copyright issues which need to be considered with all photography and filming within the centre, and we reserve the right to ask people to stop filming or photographing if it is deemed inappropriate."Link (Photo thumbnail taken from a larger picture credited to Dallas Goldberg)
Hello Kitty anti-RFID skimming sleeves
Of course, this negates much of the value of RFID cards: no more can you merely wave your handbag at a turnstile. Now you have to get your card out, remove the radio-proof sleeve, and then rub the naked card over the reader.
And at that moment, if a skimmer happens to have a directional antenna pointing at the turnstile, well, then she can read (and clone) your card.

Tomato with human face
The tomato, which is about 10 centimeters in diameter and weighs about 150 grams, is of the regular "Momotaro" variety, but is about three times the normal size. It was harvested in Yawata from a field owned by 61-year-old farmer Kiyoshi Ueda.Link (Thanks, Paul Saffo!)
Zoo fights heat with meat ice-cream
The "alternative ice cream" offered to animals instead of their usual fare has been a big hit with large cats, apes and wolves, Zurich Zoo said in a statement. "The ice cream should at least offer the animals a temporary way to cool down," it said.Link (via We Make Money Not Art)
HOWTO make a bright wig out of yarn
Noise can make you smarter
Can background music make you smarter?Amen to that. I love working in energetic places like subways, cafes, airport lounges and hotel lobbies. I don't like people actually interrupting me with questions or whatever, but I love working in busy places where everyone is doing her/his own thing. Link
The more you can concentrate with background noise, the more it strengthens the brain. Isaac Asimov used to set his typewriter up in stores and other loud places to work. His claim was that you get really good at writing when you're in a crowd. You want to be energized by that background noise, rather than distracted.
Arrested for taking a pic of a cop arresting someone else
Apparently Philadelphia Police arrested Neftaly Cruz after he took a photo of them arresting a suspected drug dealer. One of Cruz's neighbors gave this recap.Link (Thanks, Thomas!)
""He opened up the gate and Neffy was coming down and he went up to Neffy, pulled him down, had Neffy on the car and was telling him, 'You should have just went in the house and minded your own business instead of trying to take pictures off your picture phone,'" said Gerrell Martin."
Our ability to photograph the police should be unquestioned. Without it things like the Rodney King incident might never see the light of day. If this occured as Cruz, his family, and neighbors allege, this is a clear abuse of police power and those resposible should be disciplined for this action.
Unedited On The Road to be published
From the Boston Globe:
...In time to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the novel's publication, the version of ``On the Road" that Kerouac wrote on the scroll will be published next year in book form for the first time, said John Sampas of Lowell, the executor of the writer's literary estate and the brother of his third wife, Stella. It will include some sections that had been cut from the novel because of references to sex or drugs...Link
The scroll contains numerous passages that were edited out of the book and uses the original names of characters who were closely modeled on friends of Kerouac, including fellow writers William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg...
It remains to be seen exactly how (publisher Viking Penguin) will present the original Kerouac story, which was typed as one freewheeling, single-spaced paragraph. Eager to write freely and continuously, without pausing to pull finished pages from his typewriter and insert new ones, Kerouac typed instead on 12-foot rolls of paper that he later Scotch-taped together, Sampas said...
Some specialists say they prefer the unedited version, which features a different first sentence than the published novel, as well as a more abrupt ending.

Convicted Aryan Brotherhood bosses used 400-year old crypto
One of the government's star witnesses, Al Benton, a high-ranking Brotherhood defector, testified that he stabbed a victim through the throat after receiving a smuggled order from Bingham, who was incarcerated 1,700 miles away at the federal Supermax prison in Florence, Colo. Benton testified that the order was written in invisible ink, which came into view when held over a flame. (...)Link. Here's more about "Bacon's Cipher": Link.
By the government's account, Brotherhood leaders ran the gang's far-reaching network by adapting ingeniously to the tight surveillance conditions in maximum-security lockups. To transmit messages, the gang employed an elaborate system of codes and cryptograms – including a 400-year-old binary alphabet system devised by Sir Francis Bacon – as well as more prosaic jailhouse ruses, such as slipping notes in mop handles and under recreation yard rocks.
Jurors learned about the gang's reading list, which included Nietzsche, Machiavelli and Sun Tzu's "The Art of War." They learned how to make knives from the shaved-off sliver of a light fixture. And with a cast of eccentric criminal witnesses, they witnessed strange, tangential exchanges, as when defense attorney Michael White cross-examined Chris Risk, who said he robbed banks to protest the treatment of American Indians.
Questions for Sony regarding its ebook device
Dear Mark -Phil Torrone at MAKE got the same email and he has already compiled a big list of questions and has invited readers to do the same.
I am part of the PR team working with Sony on the launch of the Reader (PRS-500) ebook reading device.
As I am sure you are aware, a great deal of information and misinformation has been floating around the internet about the product since its announcement at CES in January 2005.
To help clear up some of the confusion, we would like to offer you and your readers an opportunity to speak with Sony directly about the Reader to dispel some of the myth that has surrounded its rollout.
As a first step, we would like to suggest compiling questions from your readers about the device. I will then share them directly with a senior member of Sony's product team for response. Hopefully, if all works well, we can work together to separate fact from fiction about the Reader.
I am a huge fan of reading eBooks on my Palm (I've spent hundreds of dollars at ereader.com, and read lots of free books from manybooks.net) and I would love to have an eInk device that isn't DRMed up the wazoo. The fact that Sony wants to talk to potential customers is a positive step. Link

Watching Beirut Die
Link. Photo: Stephanie Sinclair/Corbis -- "Prewar partygoers enjoy the music and atmosphere at 1975, a bar whose theme is the country's civil war." (Thanks, Cyrus)
We went to Beirut to film a TV show about the city's newly vibrant culinary and cultural scene. Then the bombs started falling, and we could only stand on the barricades of our hotel balcony and watch it all disappear -- again.
From where I'm sitting, poolside, I can see the airport burning -- the last of the jet fuel cooking off like a dying can of sterno. There's a large, black plume of smoke coming from the South of the city -- just over the rise, where the most recent airstrikes have been targeting the Shiite neighborhoods and what are, presumably, Hezbollah-associated structures. My camera crew and I missed it the first time they hit the airport. Slept right through it. Woke up in our snug hotel sheets to the news that we wouldn't be making television in Beirut (not the show we came to do anyway), and that we wouldn't be getting out of here anytime soon.
Any hopes of runway repair followed by a flight out disappeared two nights ago, when we watched from the balcony of my hotel room as missiles, fired from off shore, twinkled brightly for a few long seconds in the air, then dropped in lazy parabolic arcs onto the fuel tanks.

Free ebook about the Beatles' Revolver
(The ebook is 130 pages long, and I skimmed it just now. It looks fantastic! -- Mark)
Revolver wasn't so much released as it leaked out over the course of some weeks.Link
Firstly, there was the advance guard – a hot-of-the presses Revolver sessions single, "Paperback Writer" backed with "Rain", released in the USA in May and shortly afterwards, on June 10th, in the UK. Here was Revolver in microcosm – a kind of trailer for the LP – with compressed bass, backwards vocals, Indian influences, Beach Boys inspired vocals, LSDinspired imagery, and heavily treated vocals. Their last single, released almost six months earlier, had been a double A-side with the folky, earthy "We Can Work It Out" and straight-up plastic soul tune "Day Tripper". Whilst it can be hard to see the dividing line between Rubber Soul and Revolver, it seems fairly clear cut when you listen to those singles in succession.

The top 50 movie endings of all time
A good ending is important in a movie, and Chris Null and his crew at Film Critic have put together a fun list of the Top 50 Movie Endings of All Time. (As you might expect, it has spoilers in it, so if you haven't seen one of the movies, read the entry for it at your own peril.)

Chanel, Dior, Gucci... Blackwater?
BoingBoing reader and roaming couture trendspotter Hal Bringman was in Paris this week, and noticed a line of Blackwater-branded clothing and accessories promoted at one store.
For the sniper in your life who has everything -- ok, everything *but* a spiffy men's polo emblazoned with the logo of the world's most renowned mercenary machine.
Link to another photo, and another, and another, and another. The sign on the door promises "Security of the future."
"The store's name is Multiforma - Scanner, Security & Auto (self) Defense located in the Gallerie des Arcades/Boutiques, Paris," says Hal. "How can the company that is our government's hired rent-an-assassin -- er, I mean security force for emergencies/disasters be in a position to now be exploiting this as a brand worldwide?"
Reader comment: Rob Walker says,
Those who don't want to to paris can get a blackwater tactical polo for $30 right off their web site. In the Pro Shop... Also slings, holsters, shot glasses, etc. Even an xmas ornament.

Allergy-Proofing Your House? 8 Things You Should Do Today To Prevent Common Household Allergies
Are you struggling with allergies and yet you know that its not only the outdoor pollutants that are causing your allergies? Do you need help allergy proofing your house? Here are 8 things you should do today to prevent common household allergies.
1. Do you have pets? If so, you need to take a serious look at whether or not your pets are causing or making your indoor allergies worse. The first thing you need to do is make sure that your pets are not sleeping in your bedroom. You also need to take a look at how much pet hair is on the floors, inside furniture etc. You don't necessarily need to get rid of your pets, but you do need to take a look at what is going on with your pets.
2. What are you using for cleaning supplies? Most cleaning supplies are very toxic and can make indoor allergies as well as asthma worse. I highly recommend getting rid of all of your cleaning chemicals and replacing them with essential oils, castille soap and vinegar. You can actually even clean more effectively with these natural cleaners.
3. Consider purchasing allergy free bedding and or covers for your current bedding. This can help with dander, feathers, and other pollutants on furniture that can increase allergies.
4. Evaluate anything that you are using for smells in your home. This includes candles, scented plug ins, air fresheners and anything else scented. Chances are that these things are making your indoor allergies worse. They are nearly all full of chemicals and so you need to stop using them.
5. Have you replaced your carpet within the last 15 years? If not, you may want to consider doing it. Old carpet can have allergens and pollutants in it.
6. Get an essential oil diffuser and use it. This can help to kill bacteria and viruses in the air that may be worsening your indoor allergies and the essential oils can help with allergies as well.
7. Consider purchasing an air purifier. This is a machine that helps clear and clean the air indoors.
8. Consider using a humidifier at night. This can help you breathe and sleep better.
What other tips do you have for reducing indoor allergens?

5 Questions You Should Ask Before Taking a Drug for Allergies
Have you considered taking an allergy drug? Or maybe you've already taken one or more? Or maybe you are taking allergy drugs now. While allergy drugs can provide relief for people, in many cases they are not necessary and can in fact, make your allergies worse. Personally I've tried every allergy drug on the market both prescription and over the counter and never got the kind of relief I was looking for. In fact, I am convinced that taking allergy drugs actually increased some of my health issues and it took me years to get to the root cause of my health issues whereas I could have found the cause and gotten real healing faster without them.
So what are five questions that you should ask before taking a drug for allergies to determine if in fact, you do need one. (Note: I am not saying that no one ever needs a drug for allergies.)
1. Do you really have hay fever or seasonal allergies? And Is this your only problem? Personally, while I did have hay fever and seasonal allergies, I also had several other issues including candida, leaky gut, and food intolerances which where in fact, the root cause of these. So on to question number 2.
2. Do you have candida or leaky gut? If so, no allergy drug will fix this. In fact, no drug will fix it period. You have to heal from candida or leaky gut by primarily changing your diet. Although taking a probiotic and fish oil supplement can also help.
3. Do you have any food allergies, or food intolerances? Even if you think you don't chances are good that you do. I've heard a statistic that up to 70% of the U.S. population has at least one food intolerance or allergy. If so, taking an allergy drug will do nothing to solve this problem.
4. Do you have an auto-immune condition? What many people do not realize is that many allergies are caused by or made worse by auto-immune conditions. If so, you need to get help for your auto-immune condition first before your allergies will clear up.
5. Are there any home allergy remedies you can use instead? Personally I've had really good success with essential oils for allergies as well as local honey.Read More
What is a Macrobiotic Diet and How Can It Help Allergies?
Have you heard of the macrobiotic diet? Neither had I until I came across it as a part of my training to become a certified health coach with IIN and then ironically was assigned to do a product demo in whole foods on the MACROBARS Organic Variety Pack of Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, Granola with Coconut, and Cherries and Berries, 1.8 oz- 2.5 oz Bars (Pack of 15) and these bars were created as a snack and meal for people who are on the macrobiotic diet. So exactly is it and how can it help your allergies?
1. It's a diet based almost exclusively on fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds which small amounts of whole grains such as brown rice, however, gluten and soy are not allowed. Small amounts of chicken and fish are allowed if you feel like you need it, however, it is recommended to be vegan if possible.
2. Another way of viewing it is that is is almost the complete opposite of the raw vegan diet, in fact, the macrobiotic diet when followed strictly does not include any raw food including salads.
3. You cannot eat potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, egg plant and any other nightshade vegetables.
4. Many people have hidden food intolerances and this diet by default eliminates the ones that most people struggle with.
5. The macrobiotic diet is based on fruits and vegetables and doing a cleanse of sorts by eating very clean for a time period can help with a lot of allergies and allergic reactions.
Here is a video that also explains in more details the macrobiotic diet.

Gaspard Ulliel in Saint Laurent (2014)
Daniel Radcliffe, Zach Appelman and Olen Holm in Kill Your Darlings (2013)
33 minutes in the movie, Daniel Radcliffe is jerking off. We see his butt from behind as he goes on.
59 minutes in the movie, Daniel Radcliffe has a gay kiss with Dane DeHaan but no nudity.
70 minutes Daniel Radcliffe and Olen Holm get naked and have sex together. We first see Daniel Radcliffe undressing.
Then we see both Daniel Radcliffe and Olen Holm's butts.
We also see Olen Holm's big balls.
Matthew McConaughey in Dallas Buyers Club (2013)
James McAvoy in The Last King of Scotland (2006)
Right at the beginning of the movie, we see James McAvoy in his wet underwear, with a clear bulge.
There are several other bulge scenes later on also.
50 minutes in the movie, James McAvoy only wearing a short undresses in front of the camera. He is slightly remote, so we don't see a lot of details.
We can however see that James McAvoy has a great bubble butt and a rather large uncut penis.
We see again his butt when he is making love to a woman, 74 minutes through the movie.
Craig Parker in Spartacus: Vengeance
Thomas Jane in Stander (2003)
6 minutes in the movie,Thomas Jane is naked at the beach. We see his butt and also his rather small cut penis. Quite a disappointment for the star actor of TV show "Hung", who plays the role of a porn actor with an oversized penis. 22 minutes in the movie, Thomas Jane is singing and dancing naked. But the scene is dark and back-lit so we cannot see too well. However we do see the shape of his penis and balls bouncing around.
Peter Sarsgaard in Kinsey (2004)
Manu Bennett and Andy Whitfield in Spartacus: Blood and Sand (2010)
Manu Bennett shows us everything in this TV show. We can see his butt in almost every episode, but in addition we get great view at his penis is the episode 5. He has a pretty big uncut penis. The late Andy Whitfield does not reveal his penis as it seems to have been digitally edited out, but we get to see his very nice butt at many occasions! In episode 5, Manu Bennett and Andy Whitfield fight naked, body against body. Quite a view!
Tom Hardy in Bronson (2008)
Heath Ledger and Bruce Greenwood in I'm Not There. (2007)
Twenty minutes through the movie, Heath Ledger is getting out of the shower. As he is drying himself up, we get a good view through the mirror at his dick and butt. He has a nice uncut dick with bushy pubic hair. Mid movie there is a quick scene in a bathroom, Bruce Greenwood is seen naked entering a bathroom stall. During that quick scene, we can clearly see his butt.

Tim Horkay will support sales representatives in South America, Asia, Australia and the Middle East.
Bulk Handling Systems (BHS), Eugene, Ore., has named Tim Horkay to the position of international business development manager. In this new position, Horkay will be responsible for driving international sales growth in markets outside of the United States and Europe. He will work closely with BHS' existing network of international sales agents. BHS designs, engineers, manufactures and installs sorting systems and components for the solid waste, recycling, waste-to-energy and construction and demolition industries.
"BHS has united the world's most effective brands to offer an integrated solution that is very much in demand globally," says BHS President John Warne. "This international demand has created a strategic need to bring Tim aboard to focus on supporting our international representatives and growing our business presence overseas. Tim has a long track record of success in the waste and recycling industry; we are fortunate to bring aboard someone of his caliber and are excited to welcome him to the BHS family."
Horkay will be based in the southeastern U.S. and will work with BHS representatives in South America, Asia, Australia and the Middle East. He was most recently a vice president of production and fiber marketing with a large fiber firm and has managed recycling operations and sales in a number of roles for 20 years. He has a bachelor's degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and expects to earn an MBA from William and Mary College in spring 2014.

Football Fans Sought as Extras for 'Lifetime' Movie
Varina High School's football field will be transformed into a movie set on Saturday, Oct. 2 as part of the filming for Lifetime's original movie "Unanswered Prayers," inspired by the Garth Brooks song of the same name.
Filmmakers will record football scenes at Blue Devil Stadium that day, and members of the public are being invited to attend and portray fans of the "Stone Creek Wolverines." Fans who attend should dress in winter clothes (jackets, fleece vests, knit caps, scarves and gloves) to portray the late November homecoming-themed scene.
In the movie, the school's colors will be navy and gold, so fans should wear matching colors if possible. Some fans will receive prizes, including Garth brooks merchandise, free dinners or a wide-screen TV.{{more}}
The pubic is invited to attend and participate for free. For details about the event, including what time to show up at the school, visit http://upcasting.webs.com
Several days of filming for the movie already has occurred in Varina; filmmakers shot last week on New Osborne Turnpike.
The film will premiere in November and explores the themes of marriage, family, community and second chances with love.
The movie tells the story of a happily married father (Eric Close) who is living the American dream when the woman (Madchen Amick) of his high school fantasies returns home. He has to face his past and will be presented with a choice that could change his future. Samantha Mathis will portray his wife.
The movie is produced by Sony Pictures Television.
The film's executive producers are Garth Brooks and Lisa Sanderson, a producing partner and CEO of Red Strokes Entertainment.
Emmy Award-winning Steven Schachter (Lifetime's The Mermaid Chair, Door to Door) will direct Unanswered Prayers, which was written by Deena Goldstone (Lifetime's Identity Theft: The Michelle Brown Story, A Bunny's Tale) and Joyce Eliason (Lifetime's America and Gracie's Choice).

One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.
'An Evening of Country' scheduled April 9-10
The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen's 2nd Stage series will present "An Evening of Country" with The Honky Tonk Experience, April 9-10 at 7 p.m. in the center's Cardinal Ballroom.

The "Experience" is composed of five local musicians – Brad Spivey, Mike Lucas, Mark Watts, Clark Ball and Ryland Tinnell. The group has shared the stage with several national acts, including Travis Tritt, BR5-49, Dale Watson, Webb Wilder and Junior Brown. > Read more.

As we are moving in the direction of SOA a topic that has come up is how to have each of the services authenticate and authorize a service request.
I saw the following question posted a while back and was wondering if there is any more to it then that.
I am currently in the process of creating a Security Service which has the responsibility to handle the Authentication and Authorization of a user coming to the application.
To address the issue of the services asking for verification I was thinking of going down the road of adding an operation to this service such that other services can verify a security token that will be provided in the messages. I was also looking at using Apache WSS4J to help with the token.
Thoughts - we currently do not have BPEL in our sights at this point so can I still make use of WSS4J?

27 year old woman | Conshohocken, PA, USA | Seeking men 26-35 within 50 miles
I was born on the West Coast but I have lived in East Coast cities my whole life. I was raised in a small town in Maryland, which I am thankful for because I have southern values, good manners, and a friendly personality. I went to college in Boston to study Architecture, and then got my Business degree in Philadelphia. I love to travel, and I have visited England, Belgium, France, Czech Republic, and Germany, amongst others. I love taking tropical vacations and I have been to the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, etc. I would love to combine my love of travel with my passion for helping others by someday doing volunteer work abroad. My heritage is Russian and French, hence why I am quite good at tennis :) I love staying active, running, doing yoga, and dancing. I also like low-key activities such as playing chess, reading, or staying in watching movies. I am not superficial but I like nice things, good wine, filet mignon, dark chocolate... I am attracted to men who are successful and ambitious, and who appreciate quality. I like to cook and eat meat, so if you are vegan or vegetarian, it will not work out. Also, please only message me if you are looking for something long-term and have left all of your baggage at the door, as I am not a fan of drama or playing games. If you meet that criteria, fantastic - let's get a drink :)
Dancing, Running, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
Middle of the Road
Restaurants, Museums, Tennis, Basketball Games
My favorite author is Milan Kundera, I have also read a lot of Russian literature. For non-fiction I like Bill Bryson, Bloomberg, WSJ, and other finance/investment

But on the other hand it would also restrict criminal background checks landlords can use when deciding if someone can live in … Continue reading »

3 Days in Washington DC
One Day in Washington DC
Museum Guide for Washington, DC
We always enjoy visiting the Phillips Collection when in DC. The holdings include a nice collection of Impressionist art including Renoir, Pissaro, Bonnard, Matisse and more. There are always interesting exhibits that will challenge your tastes in art.
We stopped in while in DC recently. This museum has a small but wonderful permanent collection - O'Keefe, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Klee.... We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
We enjoyed our stop at the
Phillips. It is a small collection but it was much better for us to enjoy the art. It also was serene and quiet , a respite from the school children on field trips.
I was there the very first time a week ago. It was to attend a special event for educators. The artist being featured was Man Ray and many of his works. However there is also a good collection of other artists as well, such as Degas and Klee, to name a few. However the most famous work would be Renoir's...
Truly wonderful museum, incredible collection and a gorgeous space. I came here almost as an afterthought, and it's easily one of my favorite things in DC.
I could have spent hours admiring "The Boating Party." Plus, the Man Ray special exhibit, Georgia O'Keefe paintings, and room full of Braque.... really worth the money!
Best collection of recognizable art works ever! It's a must see for impressionist lovers! The dazzling works brought tears to my eyes.
In March, 2015, the Phillips Collection had a special exhibit of math and the arts, focusing on the art, sculptures, and photographs by the great Man Ray. Other outstanding pieces include works by: Van Gogh, Bonnard, Picasso, Chagall, and various others. This is a well-organized art museum that will not overwhelm you. Budget tip: 2 for 1 tickets are available...
I hadn't heard of the Phillips Collection until we happened to be in the neighborhood and had a couple of hours to spare. What a terrific collection. The famous Renoir painting of the Boatmen's Luncheon is here, which surprised and delighted me, as well as many other Impressionist, post-Impressionist, and modern artists. When we were there, the museum had a...
Great museum for those who like modern art. They never have a shortage of cool new exhibits. Although it's much smaller than most of the other D.C. museums, it's very easy to get lost in the space.
They have lots of fun events, especially for young professionals, who are into the arts scene that combine culture, music, and cocktails.

Wow! Where to begin?
A group of 4 adults embarked upon Miami for two weeks of vacationing. I scoured the internet high-and-low to find an upscale location which was to be our home base during our stay. I was glad to have found this property. After emailing with Tiffany, the SkyCity assistant I'd be dealing with for this stay, I pulled the trigger and booked our stay.
Before I go any further, I should bring up something that may be an issue for some, as it was for us. Upon getting to the Icon Brickell envlace (It is Massive!), we had a hard time trying to find the actual building we were to check into. This property is a set of 2 buildings (Icon Brickell) and a hotel/residences up front (Viceroy). This unit is actually located within the Viceroy Residences up front, not the Icon Brickell buildings in the back. Upon entering the property off Brickell Ave, you will make that first left into the Viceroy. If you drive straight past it, you'll find yourself at the Icon Brickell.
Many times people have issues when booking vacation properties, with the single-most common issue being that the pictures aren't a clear representation of the actual property. In this case, the pictures don't make this property any justice! As I told Tiffany upon checking out, even our guests were floored when they saw the amazing view of the bay upon entering the unit. It's very impressive.
The unit has everything you could ask for, including WiFi, DirecTV, and a kitchen that has everything you could possibly ask for. Everything very upscale, nothing left to want for. The sub-zero fridge was a god send, especially in keeping ALL of our beverages/alcohol extremely cold! The beds were all extremely comfortable, with top linen. Even the pull out sofa bed was very comfortable to sleep on.
The property is located within walking distance to the local Publix, as well as right across the street from The Capital Grille restaurant for those into upscale steak dinning. At times, we didn't even feel like leaving the unit because we were that cozy and comfortable in it.
PARKING TIP: This unit does not come with parking included. For those of you, who like us, are staying 7 or more days, the Valet Office (Located at the Icon Brickell Bldg 2) offers a week-long parking pass for $32 (CASH) which is way cheaper than paying $16/night plus $7 everytime your vehicle is brought out.
Thanks to Tiffany/SkyCity for making this a GREAT trip! We're already about to book for next year!

Driver picked me up early. Assisted me with my luggage. Clean, dependable transportation.
Fantastic service
I thought this was a fair price for our transfer and they were there plenty early enough to get us to the airport on in time.
Very convenient and simple transfer both ways. We'll organized company, the driver was waiting for me right outside the door out from the baggage area.
Wonderful, driver very attentive and professional. Highly recommend.
I did 4 transfers to and from the hotel and Heathrow in March 2014 and all ran precisely on time. Drivers were polite, friendly and vehicles clean.
This was great. It only took 25 minutes to get from our hotel to the airport as there was only one other guy with us. I was annoyed that they picked us up 4 hours before our flight! The other thing was that the voucher said you must call to get the time 48 hours before. I did this and the guy said he didn't know the time and to call back a day before.

ROSE Blog Interviews: FSF's Deborah Nicholson
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
Q: Who are you?
A: Deborah Nicholson, Membership Coordinator for the Free Software Foundation.
Q: What do you currently do in free software? What do you love about it?
A: I manage our membership program, so my job is focused on outreach. I love meeting people and talking to them about the projects they're excited about. I'm also organizing our upcoming summit to address women's participation in free software and how to improve it.
Q: You're speaking to a group of women from other fields who are considering switching careers. Why should they consider moving into an free software-related career? What should they know about the free software environment to prepare them for the transition from a different field?
A: What's great about free software as a career is the people; knowledge is available in a peer-to-peer way. The free software community is very distributed so there are lots of niches and multiple "right" answers to most questions. There may be friendly competition, but most of the time I feel like we're all on the same team.
Q: You're speaking to a group of high school students (male and female). Why should they consider exploring career options in free software?
A: If you only learn proprietary software, then you're locked in to supporting companies that don't value your freedom or anyone else's. Freedom is one of those things that you'll definitely miss when it's gone – ask anyone who's lived in Burma or blogged in China or spent time in prison. Learn free software and you'll be part of a movement and a professional community that cares what kind of world we all live in.
Q: What question do you wish I'd asked? And how would you answer it?
A: How can I get involved in the discussion about women in free software?
Sign up for the Free Software Supporter and follow the group !womeninfreesoftware on identi.ca – we'll be posting news in both places.
If you are a woman in open source, I'd love it if you'd take a moment to answer these interview questions and send your responses to me at rkite AT linuxpromagazine DOT com. (Otherwise, I'll try to track you down at an event or online!) If you'd like me to interview a particular woman in open source, drop me a line and let me know who she is and where to find her.

Happy Thanksgiving Week (for some)
Happy Thanksgiving Week. My schedule is pretty full this week. I'm still working on my kitchen walls, but it's getting close to completion. I have to do my grocery shopping for the Thanksgiving feast tomorrow before the kids get out of school early. They'll be out of school for the rest of the week. I have parent/teacher conferences tomorrow night. I hope to get a few dishes made on Wed and some cleaning done and maybe a little fun painting??? Thursday I'll be up early making a ton of food and then we'll be eating most of the day. Gluttons!! I will get some painting time in for sure after lunch because DH will be playing video games with the kids. Friday and the weekend I should be free to paint as well in between my Christmas decorating. Hurray, finally!! I've been having withdrawals. ha
What does your week look like???
Thank you for the Thanksgiving wishes Anj. I know you are really busy trying to get your kitchen finished before Thanksgiving. Are we going to get a pic of the finished paint job?
You really have a full plate with getting ready for the holidays and keeping up with the kids activities and all the homemaking duties. It can be lots of fun too, if you just make sure to get some rest once in awhile too.
No pressure about painting, just wait until you have some time and are rested a bit. We will still be here waiting for you.
I want to start addressing Christmas cards later this week, and I need to get out the shampooer and clean our bedroom carpet. Other than that, not much to do until Wednesday when I bake and cook for Thursday. Kind of nice not having Thanksgiving at our house this year--less getting ready stuff to do, so I've been able to do some painting finally! Yes, I am enjoying it! ;o)
Wonder what everyone else has planned this week? Hope they will chime in here and let us know.
Happy Thanksgiving,
