Film Noir.
THE BUZZ ABOUT THE ROMANTIC COMEDY Hav Plenty started in June at the first-ever Acapulco Black Film Festival. From a "simpatico" Mexican backdrop, Chris Cherot--the writer, director and star of the movie--embarked on a roller coaster ride across North America, trekking between New York and Los Angeles before heading for the Toronto Film Festival to shake hands on a $1.5 million distribution deal with Miramax president Harvey Weinstein.
Hav Plenty is a quirky '90s love story about two 20-somethings in denial about their obvious mutual attraction. It started gaining momentum last May after directors Bill Duke and Warrington Hudlin attended a private screening in New York. They were so impressed, Hudlin insisted Cherot debut his film at the Acapulco Black Film Festival. Hav Plenty won "Best Picture," and the positive response from the crowd prompted Kenneth Lombard, president of Magic Johnson Theaters, to commit to show the film in Los Angeles despite its lack of a distribution deal.
Of course, Cherot's experience is the exception to the rule. Black filmmakers rarely encounter such smooth sailing in getting their works to the big screen. Of the more than 400 films released in 1996 (which grossed a cumulative $5.8 billion), fewer than a dozen targeted black audiences. Yet, African Americans annually account for 25% of the industry's box office, more per capita than any other ethnic group. So, why aren't there more black-oriented films? Actually there are, but Hollywood doesn't want you to see them.
Fortunately, black film festivals, independent distributors, cable television and video releases are helping to crack Hollywood's closed door. These vehicles stand poised to increase the flow of Afrocentric films previously deemed too "culturally specific" for widespread theatrical distribution. In the pipeline is a broad range of films that challenge the myth that there is no market for positive black movies.
Moviegoers also play an important role in bringing alternative depictions of the African American experience to the big screen. By avoiding movies that portray only the lowest common denominator of black life and supporting the trickle of intriguing black films, audiences potentially have the greatest amount of leverage to affect studio releases. Baps, Booty Call, Juice and South Central needn't be the only choices for black moviegoers. "If you see a film that you don't enjoy, go to the box office and ask for your money back," says one film industry executive.
Large film distributors such as Universal, Paramount, MGM, Twentieth Century Fox and several "mini-majors," including New Line Cinema and Miramax, play a huge role in determining whether a movie really is coming to a theater near you. But "the lack of enthusiasm that distribution companies--the overwhelming majority of which are controlled by whites--have shown for handling films controlled by blacks has meant a paucity of black entrepreneurial and employment success in the Hollywood film industry," writes Tesse Rhines in Black Film. Money (Rutgers University Press; $17.95). For many independent films, a distribution deal covers some post-production costs, prints and advertising. The print and: advertising budget, known as P&A in industry circles, is the key factor in determining how widely a film is released.
Mainstream distributors' disinterest in nonformulaic black stories has jeopardized black filmmakers' ability to bring a diversity of African American experiences and culture to the world. "We still have to conform to the cultural beliefs of the people who control the distribution mechanisms," says independent film pioneer Melvin Van Peebles. Alternative stories, not comedic, violent or sexual parodies of black life, are wanted, and needed, on the silver screen. But because of recent commercial successes, the varied nuances of African American culture are slowly making their way to theaters.
Before coming up with the recipe for Soul Food, George Tillman Jr., the film's writer and director, had another Hollywood experience not quite as palatable. In 1995, at the urging of producers George Jackson and Doug McHenry, Savoy Pictures bought Scenes for the Soul, Tillman's first independent feature, for revising the film after selling it. "I gave up a lot to get Scenes for the Soul made. I deleted scenes, changed music, did whatever they told me to make it more commercial, and it never came out," Tillman recalls.
In spite of his changes, Scenes--a movie about urban life in Chicago--tested poorly with audiences in pre-release screenings. The studio eventually lowered its target from 800 to 20 screens, but Scenes was never released. Savoy Pictures' feature film division folded while Tillman was in Chicago completing the script for his next project, Soul Food--a movie about a middle-class black family held together by a wise matriarch and her down-home Sunday dinners. Several studios passed on the script because "it was a positive black film that didn't have an urban backdrop--no action, no killing and therefore wasn't `black' enough, or commercial enough for widespread release," says Tillman, 28. First Look Pictures, a small independent distributor, expressed an interest in Soul Food and offered to produce it for $2 million. But because of its size, First Look would have released the film on fewer
Hoping to draw attention to the film by attaching a high profile soundtrack, his agent sent the script to Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and his wife, Tracey, owner of Yab Yum Records. Impressed by the script, the Edmonds lobbied to produce the film through Edmonds Entertainment, their film and television production company. They signed on as executive producers and began pitching the film to larger studios that could provide full-scale nationwide release. Studio execs were not swayed.
A first-look picture deal between twentieth Century Fox and Edmonds Entertainment set the table for Soul Food to begin production late in 1996. Fox's $67 million success with Waiting To Exhale, another film at odds with Hollywood's current formula, also played a part in the studio's decision to green light Soul Food. Despite Exhale's success, Fox studio executives still projected preconceived notions of `blackness' onto the Soul Food script. "It's difficult when you have white executives advising you on how to make a black film and wanting to change or delete characters we felt were essential to the flavor of the movie," says Edmonds. "A lot of times they just don't get black humor or black culture and their suggestions take the reality away from the film." This time, Tillman says the changes he made to the script were for the better. On September 26, Soul Food opened on 1,238 screens across the country and grossed $11 .3 million its opening weekend.
For every Soul Food funded and distributed by a major studio, dozens of black filmmakers must follow the examples set by pioneers Oscar Micheaux, Van Peebles and Spike Lee, all of whom financed their own releases when Hollywood wouldn't believe in their vision. "Van Peebles' $500,000 production, Sweet Sweethack's Bandasssss Song (1970), changed the course of African American film production and the depiction of African Americans on screen," writes Rhines. The film's $10 million gross proved that successful movies could be made without Hollywood. However, "the challenge today is not making films but getting them distributed," says Van Peebles.
Aspiring filmmaker David Talbert raised $1.5 million in 1996 from friends to finance his first feature film, A Woman Like Than a romantic comedy about unrequited love starring Tyra Banks and Malik Yoba. Talbert, 31, who also produces gospel plays, expected his film to get picked up by a major distributor on the strength of its script and recognizable cast. "We went into this film thinking we were doing certain things right by getting actors like Tyra, who has crossover appeal, as well as those more specific to the black community like Malik," says the writer/director. He was mistaken. Paramount, Miramax and most other studios balked at distributing the film.
Talbert believes the lack of sex and violence and a divergence from other established industry parameters for commercial black films played a role in the studios' decision not to pick up A Woman Like That. "They said the film had no audience, but if I had shown Tyra's breasts or Malik's body, they would have jumped at this film." Now, Talbert invites studio acquisitions executives to screenings that include a black audience so they can see the potential market for his film and feel the response. "I don't send out any videotapes [to potential distributors]," says Talbert. "It's too easy for studio executives to pick a film apart in an office."
To gain exposure, Talbert frequents various film festivals, such as Cannes, Sundance and Toronto. These testing grounds are where both studio-funded and independent films are judged on their merits by film industry professionals, major studios and independent distributors. "Young directors have to understand the game, and entering these film festivals is part of getting a distribution deal," says Joe Brewster, writer and director of The Keeper, a psychological prison drama starring Giancarlo Esposito, which opened in New York in September. Screening a film at a festival can cost upwards of $5,000 apiece, including entry fees, travel and expenses. "Film festivals provide a sort of pedigree," says Brewster, who has shown his film at festivals around the globe. "You're getting attention based on quality, ability to complete a project and commercial viability." However, mainstream distributors are not always receptive to alternative depictions of black culture.
Even though The Keeper was well received at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival, it did not emerge with a distribution deal. "It is not a genre they [distributors] felt black audiences would accept," explains Brewster, a psychiatrist turned filmmaker. Other black films have had similar experiences at prestigious festivals, gaining acclaim but no distribution channel. Black film festivals have gained popularity in recent years and play a crucial role in securing distribution for black films. "They [black film festivals] are important because they give black audiences a chance to validate our own films," explains Eugene Haynes, director of Urban Acquisitions and Productions at October Films. "Cannes and the rest are good exposure for black films, but distributors can't get the audience validation that would make it worth their while because we aren't well represented in those venues.
The Milano African Film Festival (in Italy), the Pan African (Los Angeles) and the African Diaspora (New York) film festivals, are just a few of the black festivals held throughout the year. "Black journalists and professionals in the industry who saw our film at these festivals began to sing our praises, which started a buzz in the black community. That's how we got our film distributed," adds Brewster, whose film was eventually picked up by Kino International, a small independent film distributor based in New York. In 1997, the Acapulco (Mexico) Black Film Festival (ABFF) and the Urban World Film Festival (UWFF), held in New York, were the two latest additions to a plethora of black festivals held around the country (see sidebar).
Hav Plenty attracted the Edmonds' attention at the ABFF. They later arranged a private screening and signed on as executive producers. Talbert's A Woman Like That won the Best Dramatic Feature award at the UWFF, but didn't attract a distributor. Two weeks later, the determined director entered the film in the Independent Feature Film Market (IFFM) in New York, one of the country's premier events showcasing independent films, and was nominated for the Gordon Parks Independent Film Award. At press time, Talbert still hadn't found a distributor and was considering alternative outlets for his film, including cable television.
Prints--copies of the film sent to the various exhibitors, Cineplex Odeon, Sony Theaters, AMC, etc.--cost between $1,500 and $4,000 each. Therefore, releasing a film simultaneously on 400 screens, considered a limited release, could cost a distribution company over $1 million for prints alone. It also requires considerable marketing and advertising efforts to get a film noticed in today's competitive movie market. In 1996, the average P&A budget for major studio releases was $16 million, giving them an enormous advantage in the marketplace. Smaller distribution companies, such as Kino, and black-owned KJM3 and New Millennia Films, often provide the only distribution outlet for non-stereotypical black films. "We don't have the same money [as the majors], but we have to be in the ballpark to be able to help filmmakers who are spending $1-$3 million for their films. We have to be able to offer them the opportunity to recoup their investment, and a $50,000 P&A budget isn't going to do it," says Marlin Adams, KJM3 vice president of legal affairs. "You need $4 million or $5 million to do 400-600 prints for a wide release to make commercial independent films successful."
"The key to the success of these films is finding the right distributor to provide them with the right level of expertise and who has the right kind of relationships with theater owners," says Lombard of Magic Theaters. With major studio releases, the exhibitor pays a fee known as "film rent" to the distribution company for the privilege of showing the film on their screens. According to Lombard, the relationship usually works out to a 60/40 box office split between the theater and studio, respectively.
Independent distributors, on the other hand, must often pay exhibitors a "house allowance" to have their films shown. The house allowance, which varies widely between $1,000 and $17,000 per week (depending on the season and venue), is a rental fee for the actual film. Once the allowance is paid, the balance of the box office gross is split on a percentage basis, with the independent distributor usually recouping the majority of the profits. Yet, the possibility of being bumped from theaters in favor of major studio releases always looms over independent films.
The Keeper and Follow Me Home, a film about racial healing that follows four young men on a cross-country journey, are just two of the many independent films pulled from screens to make room for Hollywood releases. To compete for screen space with the summer blockbusters, Lombard says independent films must gross a minimum of $20,000-$25,000 per weekend. "Opening weekend is especially important for black films because if they don't do extremely well, they won't be around for a second and third weekend," says Haynes, echoing filmmakers Spike Lee, Warrington Hudlin and others.
The Keeper was replaced by another movie after grossing $10,000 its opening weekend. "Black films are required to succeed in order to stay in the theaters," says publicist Kay Shaw, who was hired by Kino to help market and promote Brewster's film.
"Because of limited marketing budgets, independently distributed black films must rely heavily on word of mouth and need to be in theaters for a long period of time in order to generate a healthy return," says Henri Norris, founder and manager of New Millennia Films, which distributed Follow Me Home. The movie, which stars Alfre Woodard, was bumped from two screens in California's Bay Area after grossing only $84,000 in five weeks. "Unlike the typical six-week run of most movies, we need to run our films for six to nine months since they won't run in 10-cities simultaneously," says Brewster. Consequently, independent distributors have forged relationships with art houses and second-run theaters, which are more likely to keep independent films on the screen.
"We have relationships with the major distributors and owe it to our operation to show films that are going to generate the greatest box office [gross]," says Lombard. Haille Gerima's Sankofa, which chronicles the experiences of a young model transported into a past life as a slave, maintained a screen at Magic Theaters in Compton throughout the summer of 1995. "It wasn't because we wanted to do Haille a favor," he adds, "but we left it there because it was successful and no amount of pressure from other distribution companies is going to make you take a film offline that's generating big bucks."
The visibility and recognition of Magic Theaters alone lets other exhibitors see that black films can be successful in their theaters, as well. But without enough marketing and promotion to guarantee "butts in the seats," black films, independent or otherwise, vanish as abruptly as they appear. "The key concern is how people will be aware that these films are out and will be showing in our theater," says Lombard. While Fox could afford a nearly $10 million P&A budget for Soul Food, independent distributors must come up with creative and cost-effective ways to promote their films on a shoe-string budget--usually under $100,000.
In lieu of huge P&A budgets, black distributors have developed a "cultural event model" of distribution, which takes a grassroots community approach to promoting films. In 1994, Kay Shaw, a former political organizer, used this approach to market and promote Sankofa. Having been denied distribution by major and minor studios, Gerima sought Shaw's help to self-distribute the film by marketing it to community groups, churches and schools.
Sankofa was screened throughout the country over a year and a half and grossed nearly $3 million. Shaw, along with KJM3, developed the cultural event model of promotion in 1993 while promoting Daughters of the Dust, which ran for 35 weeks and grossed $1.8 million. "We were able to recognize and tap into a cultural network that already exists. There is a whole circuit of black bookstores, radio talk shows and public affairs programming that is necessary to develop momentum for the film," says Kathryn Bowser, vice president of administration for KJM3.
Although the cultural event model of distribution worked for Daughters and Sankofa, the grassroots strategy does not necessarily translate to more commercial films. "With Out of Sync, a very commercial urban drama starring LL Cool J, we found that none of the enthusiasm and grassroots marketing that we were able to generate with Daughters of the Dust existed for that film at all," recalls KJM3 vice president of creative affairs Michelle Materre. The video distributor eventually found an audience for Out of Sync through video and cable outlets.
"A filmmaker who keeps his or her mind uniquely focused on theatrical release is almost doomed to failure," says Rhines. "There is plenty of room for African Americans in the expanding cable, direct-to-video and CD-ROM/interactive video arenas. Electronics and telecommunications are already causing profound structural changes in the ways Hollywood does business." According to V. Denise Bradley, director of international marketing for Warner Home Video, African American-themed or directed movies rent over 50% higher than the national average. Films such as Boyz N the Hood (667%), Malcolm X(327%) and Glory (335%) have all performed significantly above the industry's 119% mainstream movie tally.
Percy Miller, better known as platinum-selling rapper Master P, sold over two million copies of his 1997 independent film I'm Bout It in less than 15 weeks. Unsatisfied with the offers he received from studios, he packaged the $1.5 million production for release in video stores. Leveraging his platinum rap status, Miller placed advertisements for the video in each of his CDs and cassettes. In light of his double-platinum success with his first film, Miller can pick and choose the right distribution deal for his independent follow-up, I Got the Hook Up.
Cable television, with access to over 70 million U.S. households, is another ripe outlet for black films. Spike Lee's documentary of the Alabama church bombings, Four Little Girls, was primarily distributed via Showtime, although it had a limited theatrical release during the summer. HBO-produced First Time Felon, directed by Charles S. Dutton, is another example of the growing opportunities to tell black stories outside the Hollywood studio system. Technological advancements such as pay-per-view, digital television and the Internet also provide viable alternatives.
While the major distribution companies may still have a stranglehold on the traditional means of film distribution, black filmmakers need not succumb to their grip. Films such as Soul Food and Sankofa, both of which took completely different routes to the silver screen, lend credence to the belief that black audiences want to see more than sex, drugs and violence. But the most important variable in the distribution equation is you. Whether through movie theaters or video sales, black audiences can vote with their dollars, ensuring a broad palette from which black filmmakers can paint our stories.

One thing everyone seems to disregard when talking about "what's the movie going to be about": Never once has blizzard called it a "world of ********" movie, it's always been "the ******** movie." There's games (and at least 2 expansions) worth of material that happened before WoW.
Taking it back and showing Medihv open the Dark Portal and welcome the Horde to Azeroth would be an awesome story, IMHO.
If your parallel bares out Webstravaganza, I hope the movie make a hundred billion trillion gazillion fafillio dollars. Cause if all the Star Trek shows and movies are good, and all the ******** games are good, and the ******** movie explodes, we can only hope STO will follow suit, for the sake of symmetry.

New Movies This Week: 'Nightcrawler,' 'Before I Go to Sleep,' 'Saw 10th Anniversary'
You'll have plenty of options for some good old spine-tingling Halloween fun once the latest batch of thrillers (and one re-release) hits theaters this weekend.
You'll have plenty of options for some good old spine-tingling Halloween fun once the latest batch of thrillers (and one re-release) hits theaters this weekend.
The Halloween slate of scary movies continues this week, plus we see Keanu Reeves get back into hard-boiled action on the big screen once again.
This week we get a World War II-set ensemble drama, so you know it's that time of year when all the Oscar-hopefuls start crowding up the screens at your local multiplex.
Another week, another batch of wildly different offerings at the theaters: a little horror-fantasy, some Oscar-minded courtroom drama and a children's-book adaptation.
Three big movies arrive in theaters this weekend: a sequel to a 2013 horror blockbuster, an Oscar-hunting thriller and the film adaptation of a bestselling book series.
Hitting theaters this week are a couple of vastly different films aiming for vastly different audiences.
What had been a pretty slow month of September, movie-wise, is about to get a major jolt, with four new films hitting theaters this week. Here's a look at your suddenly bountiful choices:
Not a whole lot of action this week at cinemas, with just one new movie coming out and it isn't even getting a full, 3,000-theater release. But it is about Elvis, sort of.
You can tell the summer movie season is coming to an end because the weekend box office has stopped being exciting and has starting becoming sad and weird. The past two weeks have seen several major movies bomb, but nothing could have prepared us for 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.'
Three new movies hit theaters this coming weekend—a comic book sequel (yes, another one), a teen tearjerker and an inspiring high-school football tale.
The third go-around for the aging-mercenary superteam, plus the latest young-adult novel trying to become a blockbuster and a light comedy you and your buddy probably thought of back in college.
The box office gets a jolt this week, with a pair of action thrillers making their debuts, plus an easygoing family comedy to put a smile on your face.

I have to admit that I rather enjoy using Facebook and like a lot of people I probably spend far too much time connected to what is the centre of my virtual presence. Therefore I wholeheartedly welcome Facebook's latest move to provide more gender options for you to pick from, but with the vast amount of praise being heaped upon Facebook for this, you might be mislead into believing that the social networking site is now a haven for people of all gender identities.
At the heart of Facebook is people and, unfortunately, they don't tend to leave their prejudices on the real world side of their computer monitors. If you delve into the darker areas of Facebook you'll find thousands of pages, groups and photos all containing transphobic slurs and encouraging others to belittle or attack trans people.
Even Facebook's own post about these new options has become targeted by people aggressively denouncing the move and trans people in general.

Get it while it's hot. You know I can't resist Denton's monthly memo to his Gawker staff bloggers. A highlight:
Kevin Purdy's highly informative story about the effects of caffeine on the brain in Lifehacker was the breakout story of July. And the reader interest in the piece highlights — do we really need a reminder? — the draw of the explanation. There's too much news on the web; and way too little explanation. Fully a quarter of the top stories are straight how-tos or otherwise helpful or informative.
Man. I would never have thought Nick Denton would be one of the loudest voices making my beloved Future of Context argument.

It will be on till August 17 at the Lalbagh
Bangalore: More than two lakh roses and other flowers, 400 species of cacti, bonsai plants, vegetable carving… all will be part of the fourth National Flower Show organised as part of Independence Day celebrations by the Department of Horticulture and the Mysore Horticultural Society here. The flower show will be on from August 9 to 17 at Lalbagh.
Speaking to presspersons here on Friday, Horticulture Minister S.K. Bellubbi said the flower show is not restricted to the Glass House alone. A pavilion called Pushpa Vatika has been formed for the purpose near Cacti Garden.
K. Ramakrishnappa, Director of Horticulture, said that entries for various competitions had seen an increase this year. Participants from six States, New Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Goa and Maharashtra, will exhibit and take part in the various competitions organised as part of the flower show.
At the flower show, information about the cultivation of export-quality fruits, vegetables and flowers would be provided.
The show would lay emphasis on protection of biodiversity and organic cultivation. "We are going to have tableaux depicting the glorious heritage of Hampi. We will also have a floating garden, as part of the attractions," he said.
To give farmers more information on organic farming, demonstrations and discussions will be held. The deputy directors of the department in the districts had been directed to send farmers to participate in these programmes.
As part of the security arrangement, visitors will not be allowed to bring in bags and eatables into Lalbagh. The authorities have installed CCTV cameras and metal detectors.
"We have also put in place certain restrictions on parking and traffic movement. During the flower show, entry to Lalbagh will be only through the K.H. Road entrance, while the exit will be from the Siddapura Gate. Parking will not be allowed near the main, East and South gates, Dr. M.H. Marigowda Road and T. Mariappa Road till August 17," the director said.
Another initiative that has been introduced this year is the e-ticket facility. People may buy tickets online by logging onto " www.lalbagh.org".
Entrance fee for adults on weekdays is Rs. 30, while on holidays and weekends it is Rs. 40.
For children aged between six and 12, it is Rs. 10. On August 14, entry is free for children.

The food here is great. Delivery time a bit long but understandable. The one thing I wish they would do is put a piece of plastic or foil over coffee cup with a rubber band so the coffee does not leak all over the food

Terrible customer service. I ordered specifically because the estimated time is 15-30 minutes, and it was located right by my office. I've already called in THREE times, and the person answering the phone actually has the audacity to yell at me as if this is my fault. The first time I called was over a half hour ago, when I was told that the delivery person was on his way. I got a smoothie and a soup, if this was out for delivery 30 minutes ago, I'm sure my smoothie will be warm and my soup will be cold. Will never order from here again.

I ordered from Austin's and they failed to deliver the side dish I ordered and paid extra for. I called them and told them of their mistake, but that it was not worth it to sit and wait for the side so just to take it off my bill. They promised they would, but never did. Horrible way to treat a customer, won't be ordering from here again

I ordered a small chili and a side greek salad. The side greek salad came with no lettuce which I have NEVER seen before, it's the topping that are expensive, so I called up to ask why no lettuce. The guy at first herd me than every time I started to talk about something I had already ordered SOMEHOW he couldn't hear me. I'm on a landline so no it's not my service. Then finally he says it doesn't come with lettuce, what it's a salad!! Besides that the chili tasted like a can of beef tomato sauce with some beans thrown in. The 1 star is for how fast my horrible food came, 15 min.

Marble's Catch 22 Storage Dispenser for Rimfire Ammunition Polymer Black
- Information
The Catch 22 storage and dispensing container offers shooters a better, safer option than their pockets for carrying 22 caliber rimfire ammunition. The compact polymer unit has separate vertical chambers, each capable of accommodating a mix or 22 LR, 22 WMR, or 17 HMR ammunition. The sliding lid allows the user to access a single row of cartridges at a time, allowing a fast and fumble-free reload. The container attaches to a belt or pocket for convenient access, and protects your ammunition from the elements, dirt and debris.
Technical Information
- Capacity: 50-rounds of .22 LR, 30-rounds of .22 WMR, or 30-rounds of .17 HMR
- Clip for attachment to belt
- Organizes ammunition in 10 staggered holes
- Detents on the sliding lid allow access to the holes individually, without dumping out additional rounds
- When the lid is slid open for access, each hole will allow the rounds to dump out in your hand - this loader is not designed to fit onto the magazine tube
- Intended to protect cartridges from dust and dirt

Lloyds is thought to be planning to ramp up its digital activity. The group recently supported the separation of Lloyds TSB into Lloyds Bank and TSB with significant marketing investment.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/20/14
(Eds: APNewsNow. With AP Photos.) By STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer Ryan Cook was playing against the Dallas Cowboys in the preseason finale only a couple of weeks ago. Now Cook is preparing to start in the middle of the Cowboys' restructured offensive front Sunday at Seattle. He was already snapping to Tony Romo and making line calls only two series into the season opener. After starting all 16 games at center for the Cowboys last season, Phil Costa dealt with back issues in training camp while two other candidates for the job, Bill Nagy and Kevin Kowalski, both injured ankles. Costa only got through the first series in the season-opening win at New York before being sidelined again by his back. In went Cook, who had previously only gotten about 10 snaps with Romo in practice before some quick warm-ups on the sideline. --- Online: http://bigstory.ap.org/NFL-Pro32 and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL

So a private tutor is redundant, because the dictionary defines it already, thats my point , I did check fundamental premises(resources to be short and less pretentious) before posting,but it depends on the source,they are all different,not all dictionaries include 2and 3 above,, maybe you should read first before making unneeded attacking remarks and just add to the discussion,I already said what you said yesterday at 6:05,obviously you dont know if it is redundant or not,or you would say so,all that you did was paste something that soemone else said, not your own opinion,,
all tutors are your personal tutor,,that is they give you personal or individual attention not received in a class,, tutors are predominantly hired privately and paid for by the student..you can't have a tutor group because tutor is either a noun or a verb,,not an adjective,, but your group can recieve tutoring from a tutor,,usually offered outside of mainstream education, or shadow education,,therefore I say private tutor is redundant,,
I'm not sure what you think you can get from this site, if you ignore our guidance as well as dictionary definitions.
It's not redundant. Tutors can teach small groups or provide 1:1 tutoring. A school may provide a tutor for someone who has to miss class due to illness - that's a public tutor, not a private one. Whether you consider "private" to mean individualized instruction or paid for by personal instead of public funds, you can have group tutors or public tutors, so the phrase is not redundant.
Perhaps you could take a look at using capital letters and proper punctuation.
Marccosss, you are just wrong. Most British schoolchildren spend ten to twelve years in a tutor group with their form/classs tutor. Those who go on to university will have subject tutors there. British, American and Australian teachers and writers have told you this, and you have been given dictionary definitions. Still you continue to insist on things that are not true. I am closing this thread before learners become needlessly confused.

I have my general class and actually taught myself morse code to pass the test (which is no longer required by the way). Knowing morse code is certainly a skill that is not a bad thing for sailors to have.

Submitted by: Michael on 2015-01-24
Summary: Paddling the Jackson Kayak Supernatural is fun. My son and I explore the water, island, play pirates, fish, swim, & tour the scenery.
Pros: Durability, stability, capacity.
Usage: Touring, Fishing, Family, Fun
Submitted by: therealindian on 2014-12-06
Summary: Really all there needs to be said about this board is that it is perfect for chillin on water. It's wide and that's great for balance. It's like if a yacht and a SUP had a baby. Versatile if you like easy days on the water. Get something else if you want to get wild or you want something light.
Pros: Stable. Great design with cool deck features. Comfortable in slow water. Durable.
Cons: Not much to dislike if used for the intended purpose. If there was a way to convert it into a performance board when necessary, I'd dig that. Kind of heavy.
Usage: Exercise and relaxing on the water. Good for fishing, though I haven't done that yet. Probably better to get the SUPerFISHAL for that if you're planning on doing that all the time.
Submitted by: jvryak on 2014-10-31
Summary: This is my first paddleboard - wanted something that was stable and easy to take care of. Built like a tank, it easily holds my 250lbs plus dog. The surface pad is very comfortable. Other paddle boards don't have anywhere to tie things down - this has many making it very easy to lash down cooler and drybags.
Pros: indestructible, lots of tie downs, very stable
Cons: heavy, a bit slow expected
Usage: lake and creek paddling, fishing and camping
Submitted by: Dane on 2014-06-11
Summary: What a Great Purchase this is my 2nd paddle board (after the first was stolen) and I couldn't be happier! I've had this board for two months and it's already surpassed my expectations for a mid priced board... It's Super Stable,and with the fins it also tracks very well... While it's not the fastest it's definitely one of the most Versatile boards around there are a ton of straps, anchor points and handles! I love it I thought my fishing kayak was awesome but this is next level, Great for sight casting, and so stable I've taught two brand new people to board on this thing
Pros: Stable, Versatile, Great Price From a Great Company
Cons: It is on the slower end of the spectrum but it's not terrible
Usage: Touring/excercise

A day after Priyanka Vadra reacted publicly to the allegations against her husband Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, the Delhi high court on Wednesday agreed to hear a PIL seeking probe into the alleged land and other corruption-related charges.
A division bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Pradeep Nandrajog fixed the matter for April 30.
The bench was hearing the PIL filed by M L Sharma, an advocate, seeking CBI probe for alleged licences granted to several real estate developers, including Skylight Hospitality Pvt Ltd, owned by Vadra, for developing colonies in Haryana.
Sharma contended that between 2005 and 2012, the state of Haryana, the department of town and country planning (DTCP) had issued licences to developers and builders for turning 21,366 acres of agricultural land into colonies without complying with the statutory rules.
The decision caused "serious financial loss of Rs3.9 lakh crore" to the exchequer, it added.
In the plea, he contended that allocation of licences for developing colonies was contrary to provisions of the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act.
It further sought quashing of the June 3, 2013 letter by Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) Shashi Kant Sharma allegedly rolling back the audit and inquiry into the grant of licence to Skylight Hospitality Pvt Ltd.
As per the plea, the inquiry was ordered by Shashi Kant Sharma's predecessor Vinod Rai.
The PIL said, "CBI to register a criminal case under various sections of IPC including cheating and also under the Prevention of Corruption Act against the Respondent No. 3 (Vadra) and others.
The petitioner sought the court to monitor CBI investigation. It contended saying "for criminal action /direction and prosecution of the all persons concerned having hand together benefited them via public office and caused serious financial losses to the government as well as to the poor farmers of Haryana and Rajasthan."
Earlier in mid 2013, senior IAS officer Ashok Khemka had alleged that Vadra "falsified documents" for 3.53 acres of land in Gurgaon, Haryana and took a large premium on a commercial colony licence. In his "voluminous reply" submitted to Haryana government's three-member inquiry committee set up in October 2013 to look into the deal, Khemka is understood to have alleged that Vadra executed a series of "sham transactions" for it.
Vadra was later accused of inking illegal land deals in Rajasthan. He was accused of buying acres of land from farmers for as low as Rs 20,000 an acre. The Congress denied the charges.

Filed Under: Web Design,
The distinction between Search Engine Optimisation and Search Engine Marketing is often not alluded to on web designers sites. Any designer worth their salt will ensure that sites they design are optimised for search engines, it's web design 101.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) involves adding hidden tags and words that the user doesn't see, but words search engines look for and include important keywords in high priority places. I won't describe what to do in detail, you can search for SEO on the web if you want to know more.
What most designers won't offer as standard is Search Engine Marketing (SEM). The SEM process takes time and is an ongoing, again search yourself for the detail, but analysing keywords, looking at traffic data and creating incoming links are all involved. Improving your presence using SEM is time consuming and tough work.
Discuss with your designer what SEM they provide in the price they quote. You might want to consider paying a retainer for your designer or SEM professional to help in this area. Having a professional do this for you will save you time and effort as they will already know what to do, the tips and secrets and mistakes of this 'dark art'!
Experienced SEM's will keep abreast of the latest developments, which can change at the drop of a hat, should one of the search engine alter there algorithms or rules of exclusion.
You could do some of the work yourself, but it is a varied and fickle business. If you do look into it, just make sure you don't let it consume all of your time as you still need to run your company!

Mind in The Cloud
The individual mind is immanent but not only in the body. It is immanent also in pathways and messages outside the body; and there is a larger Mind of which the individual mind is only a subsystem. – Gregory Bateson
I believe that our consciousness has evolved within historical time. And that this evolution is chiefly based on external storage. This evolution is disruptive. There is a long period of transition.
We are entering an era of unprecedented access to external storage. I think that we are at the beginnings of a new mode of consciousness.
While our user's information is inaccessible, SpiderOak spends a lot of time and resources making company information available.
Bruce Sterling (that smirking twit) imagines tracking objects: Spime. But we have the resources to track ideas. Who would have imagined Amazon Reviews becoming a literary form? A modern book is more than a physical artifact. It becomes enfolded in a cloud of comment and interpretation.
The book may surface on the net long before it is published, and may continue to interact with readers. The modern author maintains a conversation with his readers.
For a person of degraded sensibilities, as I am, YouTube becomes a primary repository of music. Incredible new forms are evolving:
