A few days ago, Channing Tatum got honest about a few things, including the status of that second Ghostbusters reboot. The Magic Mike star made it sound like the project was stuck in development, toiling away under the watchful eyes of countless Sony execs. Today, it looks like Tatum was underselling the situation. In a separate interview with his producing partner (and Magic Mike XXL co-director), Reid Carolin, it was revealed that Tatum won't be busting any ghosts after all.

My colored pencil and watercolor paintings tend to veer towards a more realistic style. I like to create pieces that are beautiful, not art that necessarily tells a story. I usually work from a photograph but feel as though I can take liberties with colors that might not show in the original reference photo, which I�ve done with Blue and Watercolor Dahlia. I also tend to render items that I�m drawn to. Flowers are one of my favorite subjects as well as the still life. Rendering portraits is also something I am drawn to. If you want to have a portrait consultation, please use the contact link to email me. The colored pencil works featured on the site are time consuming and laborious, created by the building of layers of colors. ...

Once upon a time, EMU Seniors Katie Landis and Kayci Detweiler put on an art show in the Margaret Martin Gehman Art Gallery. They dazzled the public with their fairy tale-like artworks.
"I was always interested in fairy tales," explained Detweiler.
A project last semester gave Detweiler the inspiration for her works. It had looked like illustrations of a children's book. After seeing it, friends suggested to her that she should write a story for her images, and that was exactly what she did with her collage-illustrations. Her work consists of framed pictures of digitally layered collages.
Detweiler hand drew all the characters of her story, created the background herself, and combined them through photoshop. Although the process sounds easy on paper, it is a difficult task that takes months of work.
The end result is simple, almost child-like pictures that demand a more in-depth scrutiny and an interesting narrative documented in a story book. In the exhibit, the book is placed on top of a table next to a comfortable couch on which people can read it. Above the words, "The End" is painted on pieces of paper from a book.
Detweiler's story book is a hand-made book titled "Disenchanted." It depicts the story of a beautiful and smart girl who marries a prince. Unfortunately, he turned out to be a selfish glutton.
"[Fairy tales] always have happy endings… But I didn't want [my story] to have a happy ending," said Detweiler. "So I guess this is more reality based… People always ask me if there's more after the story. But this is it."
Junior Tessa Gerberich was really taken by the exhibit. "I'm impressed by Kayci's spin on a realistic fairy tale. It's easy to glamorize romantic love. The underlying idea of happiness is something you need to do for yourself."
"I have no regrets with this exhibit," Detweiler declared proudly. The other half of the room was set up with Apple computers and the title of the art work painted on pages of a book taped to the wall above it. On each monitor was a picture, a few inspired by fairy tales. Each picture held a little surprise for the onlookers: One component of the picture moved.
The work "Twist" has a girl frozen in time while her shadow spins and dances around. Another work has a girl and a boy on a bench, faces close to one another. Just when you think that's all to the picture, the girl moves away from the boy, giggling, before returning to her original position.
"After taking the 'After Effects' class, I just had to use it for my Senior project," said Landis. "It became an obsession to create still photos that moved. I had no choice but to do it."
The process to create these moving pictures, more commonly known as Cinemagraphs, begins by taking a video of the subject. The artist freezes one frame of the video. Then, using the layering feature, the artist makes it so one part of the video is still showing (usually the subject) through the frozen frame. This creates the illusion of a frozen picture with a moving component.
"I'm happy with the way it came out," said Landis. "It's whimsical and dream-like. It's like a fairy tale." She mentioned that as a senior ready for graduation, she had moments when she reflected back to her childhood and wished that she could hang onto aspects of her from then. She wanted to take the viewers back to that time.
In addition to the Cinemagraphs, Landis took blurred photos of the subjects from each Cinemagraph and framed them in bright blue.
"Both works are really immersing," commented Senior Corey Martin. "It takes you to a nostalgic time when you were a kid. It's enchanting. You can look for a long time."
For those of you who missed the gallery opening, I highly recommend checking this one out. And for those of you who have already been there, visit again. These are pictures that not only depict just a story or a fairy tale, but hopes and dreams of childhood.

First Exeter PALMAIR flight
Saturday 31 October 2009
The first ever departure of a Palmair aircraft from Exeter at the weekend marked the start of a winter series of flights to Tunisia in North Africa and both Palmair's managing director, David Skillicorn (left in picture) and Exeter Airport's managing director Jamie Christon (right in picture) were there to wish passengers a good flight.
A series of Boeing 737 Palmair flights to the winter hot spots of Tunisia and Fuerteventura were announced earlier this year for November until the end of March but Palmair have since made a commitment to strengthen their position at Exeter by laying on a series of flights to Tunisia in May, June and in October 2010.
Commenting on the first flight to Tunisia's Monastir airport, which departed on Saturday 31 October, Exeter Airport's managing director Jamie Christon said: "We are very pleased to be working with this award winning operator and the start of this new series of flights to guaranteed winter sunshine destination seems to be indicator of better times ahead. We are delighted to be teaming up with Palmair and supporting local retail shops."
Palmair which was founded in 1957 by the late Peter Bath is still in the Bath family's hands and they put an emphasis on quality of service and personal interaction with the clients. The UK based company, was voted Britain's most popular short haul airline last year in a survey by Holiday Which?, the third time in the past ten years.
Palmair's managing director, David Skillicorn said: "For more than 50 years our company has prospered because of our attention to detail and ensuring high standards of customer care. We believe that in the management and staff of Exeter airport we have found a perfect business partner. This is a real good news story and everyone at Palmair is very excited about the new opportunities for the operation from Devon."

Valhalla Capital veteran Stephen Hart is back with a new hedge fund firm and a maiden foreign exchange and commodities trading adviser offering.
Hart's Candor Capital Advisors' CandorFX Series 1.1 launched in the fourth quarter, HFMWeek reports. The fund's proprietary trading program focuses on the spot foreign exchange markets, aiming for very low correlation with traditional investments.
CandorFX is actually the second hedge fund Hart launched last year: He was responsible for Valhalla's new spot forex strategy, as well.
Hart told HFM he left Valhalla to found Maryland-based Candor to focus exclusively on foreign exchange. The new fund has a $100 million capacity, a $25,000 minimum investment requirement and no lock-up period. Targeted at high net-worth individuals and funds of hedge funds, Candor charges 2% for management and 25% for performance.

A Monday morning of Red Sox stuff
|03.08.10 at 10:17 am ET
FORT MYERS, Fla. — After a round of clubhouse access, and Terry Francona's debriefing with the media, here is the latest (while, of course, awaiting the arrival of Albert Pujols, but not Julio Lugo):
– Francona said there are no new updates with Mike Lowell, and that the infielder would like to shoot for the end of the week to get in games.
– The plan is for Josh Beckett to get about three innings in against the Cardinals.
– Daisuke Matsuzaka's next bullpen session might have to be pushed from Tuesday to Wednesday because of the team's travel schedule and subsequent availability of pitching coach John Farrell.
– Outfielder Zach Daeges is being sent back to minor league camp, where he will be able to treat a troublesome lat muscle that hasn't allowed him to swing in camp.
– There's a chance Jason Varitek could be back with the team Monday night after tending to a personal issue.
– Talking about outfielder Josh Reddick, Francona said he has improved his plate discipline compared to last spring training. "When he learns to swing at strikes," the Sox manager said, "he's going to be pretty successful." Comparing Francona to another young outfielder in Sox camp, Ryan Kalish, Francona noted that Kalish might have the ability to steal a few more bases than Reddick and that the comparison to Trot Nixon was a pretty solid one.
– On working with the new coaching staff, Francona said it's "Actually been kind of fun … Enjoyable." He also noted regarding the practice of coaching third base — which is now Tim Bogar's duty — "If you don't get guys thrown out than you're probably making some mistakes."
– John Lackey said that after taking time to work on his changeup for the past few spring trainings, he isn't going down that route and will prioritize his primary pitches.
– Dustin Pedroia said he feels the best he has in any spring training, noting that he feels as though if the season started today his timing is where it needs to be to be successful. Pedroia also explained that physically he feels better than in past years, having taken a slightly different approach to lifting in the offseason.
– And, finally, Jacoby Ellsbury offered what he believed was his most impressive feat of athleticism. "Doing a reverse, 360-degree dunk in college," the outfielder said. Ellsbury said he first dunked a women's basketball as a 5-foot-8 8th-grader. For the best video proof of Ellsbury's athleticism, check out the following segment, put together by Nike:

And about Miyazaki himself.
I need to watch this again soon.
This is an actual business I saw on my way back from REI yesterday.
Location - Pura Tanah Lot (translation: Temple atop Tanah Lot) in Tabanan, Indonesia
This is a Hindu temple atop a rock in the ocean which is said to be guarded by, I kid you not, sea snakes.
The sea snakes live in the caves at the base of the rock that were formed by the constant crashing of the surf. There is also, supposedly, one giant snake that lives in the deep water around the island as kind of a super guardian.
These snakes defend the temple from evil spirits.
The temple itself is one of seven off the coast of Bali, all within eye-shot of each other. Together they act as both appeasement to the ocean gods and as a spiritual defense network for the shore.
This location is almost unbelievably scenic, and is so ripe for stories to be told, I don't know if you can, in good conscience, not use this as a story setting.

Known affectionately (by me) as Caesar, this little fella is possibly the only non-hominid to blast off without being coerced or forced to do so in any way (unless you want to get technical and count the 5.3 million foot-pounds of thrust the solid rocket boosters provided as coercion.)

Found this at http://jamigold.com/for-writers/worksheets-for-writers/ and thought it was interesting. I was reading an article about "Save the Cat" ( _http://amzn.com/B00340ESIS_ and _http://www.savethecat.com/_ ) and an hour later I found myself on a completely different site looking at some cool writing worksheets. This was the simplest, and I thought it may interest you guys who are taking part in NaNoWriMo ( _http://nanowrimo.org/_ )
Other, more complex sheets, for specific story types or increased plot granularity, can be found at http://jamigold.com/for-writers/worksheets-for-writers/ as well.
Cleaned, converted, and updated
I fixed and cleaned up all the formulas, made a tweak or two to make it even more user friendly (you can choose your word count per page now, and the formatting makes more sense to me now.)
Then recreated it all again in Google Sheets because Sheets didn't want to port over the formulas and formatting, only the values.

For those who can't make it out, the unfortune is as follows:
Leaders are like eagles, they don't flock... you find them one at a time.
Also, I would like to point out that eagles (and leaders) are frequently found in pairs or groups if you manage to find them at all.
For eagles, this may have something to do with the fact that many (if not all) eagles mate for life, and mating is an important part of species propagation
For leaders, it may have to do with the fact that effective leadership needs lieutenants to carry out directives rather than just followers to carry out commands.
So not only is this not a fortune, it is also inaccurate.

If I take a stand, it is on a principal. Principals are not something that exist only when shared by majority. And if taking a stand was easy, we'd call it "taking a seat".
It is never a question of "will someone notice" or "will it make a difference", because I will notice, and it makes a difference to me.
Sometimes, when I am fortunate, others stand with me. And whether they stand for the same cause, or merely to support me in having a cause, I am grateful.
Bet even if alone, I will still stand.
"And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage

Here's one that is a bit more benign, but very otherworldly.
The Forest Ghost (officially called an _Albino Redwood__ )_ is so rare, that only about 50 of them are known to exist. [http://redwoods.info/showrecord.asp?id=3257]
Since they have no chlorophyll they cannot survive on their own. So they become parasitic and extract nutrients from the roots of an adjacent tree. They also will sometimes bond with the host tree so much that they become the even rarer Cimeric Albino Hermaphroditic Redwood Tree which can grow much taller and has already led to an adventure for one California botanist. [http://goo.gl/GwTjPb]
What will you do with the idea of a parasitic Forest Ghost ?

"Monaco Celebrates Picasso" is a tribute to the painter on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of his death
The Grimaldi Forum Monaco wished to offer a new look at Picasso's artistic work, revealing not only his special links with the Côte d'Azur but also an exceptional selection of major works from a remarkable private collection.
The exhibition is based on two themes, which are reflected in more than 150 works:
"Picasso and the Côte d'Azur" will transport visitors around Antibes-Juan-les-Pins, Golfe-Juan, Mougins and Cannes. Between 1920 and 1946, Picasso was very attracted to this region in the summer; the Mediterranean light, the sea and the coast were direct sources of inspiration for him.
"Picasso in the Nahmad Collection" will highlight masterpieces by the artist that form a centrepiece to this collection, which is unique in the world because of its importance and quality. The collection was built up by Ezra and David Nahmad over the past 50 years.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa was constructed from limestone and lime mortar to which marble was also added. Much of the limestone was covered in white marble from San Giuliano, but it was later replaced with other types of marble during restoration. The limestone has played a large part in keeping the tower from deteriorating as much as it could with the leaning issues of the tower.Know More
The tower was not built at one time. There were many interruptions that slowed and sometimes halted the building. The first pause in construction was from lack of funds. There was nearly a century before construction began again, and it took nearly another to finish it.Learn more about Architecture
Construction on the Leaning Tower of Pisa began in 1173 and finished in 1360. The tower's engineers began to notice the structure's tilt after they completed three of the planned eight stories.Full Answer >
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is located in Pisa, Italy. The tower was built in the 12th century and before it became famous for its lean, it was intended to be a bell tower. As the lean became more pronounced over the years, the tower was closed off to the public in 1990 in an effort to try to stabilize it. Considered a success, the project took just over 10 years to complete, and the much safer tower has since reopened to the public.Full Answer >
Freedom Tower, also known as One World Trade Center, is 1,776 feet tall, including a 408-foot tall needle on top. Without this spire, the building itself is 1,368 feet tall and has 104 stories.Full Answer >
The Empire State Building, the Pentagon and the Lincoln Memorial are examples of famous buildings made in part from limestone. Limestone is considered prime building material and used extensively because of its high durability and carvability.Full Answer >

Welcome to Longview Drive' a modest street tucked just off Eminence Pike, lined with neatly kept frame and ranch-style homes. Neighbors there say they like the area...for the most part.
They're discontented, however, about what they call a growing problem of garbage and junk. A neighbor's back porch was the graveyard for a broken refrigerator, according to one Longview resident, while a truck-bed topper doubled as a doghouse. Down the street, a van had become a dumpster for at least a dozen bags of garbage.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet joined veterans from across the commonwealth Wednesday to help preserve the memory of American men and women lost during foreign combat.

People still seem to be making their way to restaurants to eat, just maybe not with the same appetites.
"They [the restaurants] all seem to be doing well," Shelby Development Corporation Director Eileen Collins said. "I think everybody has been hit by the recession, but I think everyone is holding their own."
Many Shelbyville restaurants say they are hanging on the same way their customers are -- with careful money management.
Mike Casey, one of Shelby County's most famous citizens, died Thursday after a long battle with heart disease. He was 60.
To say that the locally produced independent film "Clancy" did well in its opening weekend would be putting it lightly.
"It did extremely well. We were having to turn people away Friday and Saturday night because it was packed," said Melanie Scott, assistant manager of the Apex Village 8 Theater in Louisville. "This has been one of our biggest openings in a long time."
I was singing that beloved Easter ditty "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" to my 2-year-old daughter the other day. She thought it was just great, especially when I inserted her and her brother's names into the lyrics, and she sang along in much better key than mine.
As I listened to her, I realized that this was one of the few Easter songs I even knew. We had to repeat it to keep going. There was no Bing Crosby CD to mimic. This was it for a 2-year-old.
Thieves took an area convenience store for thousands of dollars on Wednesday, police say.
Maj. Danny Goodwin with the Shelbyville Police Department said five or six Hispanic males were involved in the scheme.
The group cashed several fake payroll checks at the Convenient Food Mart on U.S. 60, checks that police say were made out to look like they came from area businesses.
They looked real, but they had the wrong date and some misspellings as well. The suspects also used fake I.D.s to cash them.
The Triple S Commission's decision to reduce the number of meetings it will have for the remainder of the year was not met with open arms by local surveyors and engineers Tuesday night.
Members of the commission approved an amendment to the Commission Bylaws, Article V, Sections 1 and 4 that requires the commission to meet at least six times a year, and adopted a revised calendar for the rest of this year.

Activities are endless and a quick ride in the elevator where the daily opportunities are posted let's you quickly know the team here is truly vested in making sure their residents are happy and engaged.

My mother is not addicted to taking naps in the noon anymore. Instead, she keeps herself busy in the everyday activities organized at Carlton Plaza of Fremont. She calls Carlton Plaza of Fremont her home, which makes us relieved and happy. Thanks a lot for everything!

The Carlton Plaza of Fremont is a beautiful, multi-story CCR facility. The fact that the residents appear smiling and friendly indicates the quality of life they are experiencing. A beautiful Mediterranean-style courtyard enhances the living experience. The food is advertised as one of the best of all of the Carlton group. The staff is very pleasant and helpful,but most importantly, they brighten up the atmosphere.
