Aaaaand you just opened the floodgates for the mindless anti-FF14 brigade. Again.
Good job.
Currently playing: FFXIV (Elucifer Arclight, Leviathan server), LoL (Trash Tier Waifu, NA server), SMITE (Zacewing)
They just tried to make XIV to much like 11 and didn't take into account that action MMO's are what's "In" IMO. I think people are just getting bored of most of the current mmo's features/gameplay.
Yeah it's kinda funny how strong feelings of hate people have against FFXIV. Oo

By RICHARD SHAWStaff reporter
Four of the five seats on the Price City Council will be decided at the election booths in the fall.
The four seats open for election are presently occupied by Steve Denison, Richard Tatton, Don Reaveley and Jeanie McEvoy. The remaining council position filled by Betty Wheeler will be up for a vote in two years.
The candidate filing period for the four open seats on Price city government started on July 15. Price residents interested in having names placed on the 2003 election ballot will have until Aug. 15 to file the proper paper work at the city hall.
"Right now, I think we only have a few people who have filed to run," indicated Nick Tatton, Price city's community director Wednesday. "But there could be more as we get closer to the deadline."
Whether the city council incumbents will run for re-election remains to be seen.
McEvoy is in particularly interesting position. She was appointed to the council earlier this year a when Elizabeth Kourianos resigned for personal reasons.
The spot McEvoy occupies was not supposed to come up for a vote for two more years. But the law states that when an elected official resigns and another individual fills the spot, the seat must be voted upon by the citizens in the next regular election.
If McEvoy files and wins the upcoming election, she will have to run again in two years in the event she wishes to retain the seat for a longer period of time. The two-year re-election period will keep the rotation of Price City Council seats up for election in line.
The question of whether there will be a primary election for the council positions remains undecided. The matter depends on how many candidates file for the four open seats.
The primary election question will be answered in mid-August when Price city residents who want to file for seats on the city council have tossed their hats into the ring.

Semper Fi!
You have to love those Marines
This was obviously a commercial photo shoot for marketing the Marine Corps. Since it is impossible to do make a film without communicating, just turn down the volume if you feel that it is intrusive. Every flyover that you see at a ball game or air show involves ground to air crews communicating during the national anthem. It's a necessary part of the business. Semper Fi
As a former member of of an USAF drill team, and having seen the teams of all the branches, IMO, the USMC Silent Drill Team is the absolute best. Now the current Commander of my Fire Department's Honor Guard, I have several videos which are required viewing for my members to show what real precision looks like. Outstanding.
Very Impressive! Too bad there was all the talking and shutter noise. Drills should be held with a certain level of reverence and respect and I likened the noise in the background to a group of papparatzi. Not much respect for the excersize. Fat Albert was AWESOME too!
Truly awesome.
Unfortunately Woody....it was all BS talk. Did 8 heard a giggle . If this were chatted involved in a commercial shoot utilizing aircraft, you would think these folks would be using headsets... Particularly with aircraft and an "very active" runway.
They spoiled it !
The Participants were ALL AMERICAN .
they spoiled it - I'll tell you what, why don't you go make a better video then you can critique. As for now- they are the best, so shut it
Oh...and by the way - if you've ever flown formations, you "brief" before the flight, not during .
Jason, your a lot less unprofessional as the commentators were in the video. I agree the Videographer was fantastic and the US Marines were and are ALWAYS magnificent. And what can you say about Fat Albert, except phenomenal?!?!?
I assume this is the unedited version and the final cut will have some patriotic music and the will cut the channel with the voices. I am sure it will be Great.
I will wait for the final version but until then Jason, I suggest you pull up your big boy pants and Grow Up !
It would have been nice if you just said something nice, and if the commentary bothered you (as it did me), just turn down the volume and just enjoy the spectacle.- and then show your support by saying how nice it was. Not by saying it was nice BUT... no detractors - just a nice comment.
Have you ever shot a video? Do you know how the shooter looks for feedback - why would you tarnish the comments.
Have you ever been in a video? do you know how those who were in the shot are looking for cool comments and their joy would be detracted, even just a little by a comment like "they ruined it"
Have you ever been a parent of a child that was in a video that someone said "they just ruined it" - and how that hurts just a little bit to see such a thing.
This wasn't a debate that requires or benefits from another viewpoint - why did you have to be THAT guy?
It would be equally nice if you didn't use comments like "pull up your big boy pants" either.
Hey JASON... Why don't YOU ....SHUT up. (That was nice wasn't it... And where did I hear that before?!!
Hmmm guest ya just have to look up a few lines above this one for the answer....which BTW, came from YOU!
I find it funny that someone like you would sign onto a sight where people are asked THEIR opinion.....and YOU tell them what THEY should think.
That's just plain wrong,...PERIOD.
I was hoping that you would realize what a negative a-hole you were being - and maybe say "sorry" or think twice before being so negative and finding the ONE thing you can complain about- BUT - I guess you think someone is wrong for calling you out for being so negative. I gave you penny of solid arguments but you still choose to be negative - and I just don't have time for your negativity anymore - it's boring and ugly.
you confuse the RIGHT to have an opinion to actually being right.
I think is very funny that the guy with all the negativity and critique doesn't like it so much when he gets a taste of his own medicine.
C U Next Thursday :)

Syria Gets Internet Hookup Courtesy of China
Today in international tech news: Thanks to telecommunications company PCCW, China becomes a beacon of Internet access in Syria, helping facilitate the flow information into and out of the country. Elsewhere, Kindle gets ready to launch in India while the local government ups its effort to control what gets said on the Internet. Also, Foxconn finally gets some love.
Aug 22, 2012 9:32 AM PT
Internet analysis company Renesys reported recently that Hong Kong-based PCCW is hosting most of the Internet traffic to and from Syria, according to the Associated Press.
In an article from Computer World, a Renesys spokesman pointed out the irony in China -- a country known for stifling the flow of information on the Internet -- facilitating communications both within Syria and between Syria and the outside world.
Other telecommunications companies have withdrawn from war-torn Syria, leaving PCCW as a major thoroughfare for rebel communications and news. Turk Telecom, for instance, went black on Aug. 12. As the AP points out, Turkey has opposed the Syrian regime while China has remained an ally.
Kindle to Heat Up India
India will be the next country to sell the Amazon Kindle, according to Cnet.
Amazon has launched a new India Kindle Store and has teamed up with Croma, an Indian electronics dealer, to sell the Kindle at its outlet stores, according to the report.
Amazon's India Kindle Store will have more than 1 million titles, including a handful of India's top authors. Amazon has also launched a Direct Publishing platform in India.
Earlier this week, Barnes and Noble announced that it would release its Nook e-reader tablet in the UK.
Indian Government Gets Heavy-Handed With Twitter
Twitter could face legal action if it doesn't heed the Indian government's request to censor sensitive messages, according to The Times of India.
India's government, which has been collaborating with Google and Facebook on the issue of "hate content" coming from Pakistan, has been on a censorship kick of late. Earlier this week the country blocked more than 150 websites and restricted bulk text messages, according to Cnet.
The efforts comes on the heels of violence between Muslims and indigenous communities in northeast India, according to another article from Cnet.
Foxconn in the News Again, but This Time It's Good
Foxconn, the Apple supplier that's found itself in the spotlight in recent months over its treatment of workers and employee suicides, has been lauded for its steadily improving working conditions.
The Fair Labor Association, which was among the first to lambaste Foxconn, issued a report stating the company has been making good on its promises to improve.
The report, discussed here by Computer World, said that the factory is reducing overtime hours and updating maintenance and safety policies.
At perhaps the height of the row over Foxconn, Apple CEO Tim Cook visited a plant in China, bringing yet more attention to Foxconn and perhaps catalyzing some of these improvements.
RIM Taps New UK, Ireland Exec
Rob Orr will take over as Research In Motion's UK and Ireland managing director on Sept. 1, according to ZDNet.
The move is designed to make sure that RIM's European operations are "optimally structured" for selling the existing BlackBerry 7 smartphone and for the early 2013 release of BlackBerry 10, a RIM spokesperson told ZDNet.
The UK has been one of RIM's few bright spots of late. The Canada-based company said that UK sales account for about 10 percent of its total revenue. As of last November, RIM had more than 8 million British subscribers.
RIM currently has a roughly 11 percent market share in the UK.

I have been wearing Brooks Adrenaline for about four years now and I love them -- I am a Brooks junky. BUT...these are not the same as the 11, or the 10, or the 9, or even the 8. I'm not sure what changed in the 12s, but these just aren't as comfortable. I'm still breaking them in, but they seem to run a little smaller lengthwise than previous models (but maybe a little wider). I ran ten miles on them two days ago and by the end, my right ankle and my right knee hurt (IT band, probably). Stayed off my feet yesterday and ran seven this morning in my old adrenaline 11s and feel totally fine -- no pain. Can't figure out if I need to return to get a half size up, or if I just need to suck it up until the shoes are broken in, but this hasn't ever happened before. Still, Adrenalines are great shoes and I'd recommend them. Just know what you're getting yourself into with the 12s.

Pai Gow Poker is a variation of the Chinese domino game Pai Gow. Pai Gow Poker is played with a 53-card deck, including one Joker.
Play begins by making a wager. A randomly generated number determines which Player gets the first set of seven cards. Each Player then arranges their seven cards into a five-card hand and a two-card hand. The five-card hand (called the "high hand") is ranked as in Poker. The exception to the standard Poker rankings is that A-2-3-4-5 is considered the second highest Straight. The two-card hand (called the "low hand") is scored by pairs beating singletons, then by the individual ranks. The highest two-card hand is A-A and the lowest is 3-2.
After each Player has "set" their hand, the Dealer arranges their hand according to a set of fixed rules known as the "house way". First, the Player's low hand is compared to the Dealer's two-card hand. Then the Player's high hand is compared to the Dealer's five-card hand. In the event of an exact match between hands, called a "copy", the tie goes to the Dealer. If the Player beats both hands then the Player wins even money on their wager, less a 5% commission. If the Player wins only one and loses one, the bet is a tie called a "push". If the Player is beaten on both hands, the Player loses their entire wager.
When setting the "low hand", the two-card hand may not be higher than the five-card hand. If it is, then both hands are deemed "foul" and both lose. The Joker can only be used to complete a Straight, Flush, or Straight Flush. Otherwise, the Joker is treated like an Ace.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — My wife handed me the new Consumer Reports OnHealth newsletter at breakfast. The lead: Good news to cheer up everybody, young and old, but especially AARP members, folks over 50: "5 Good Things about Aging."
Yes, folks, things will get better in retirement. Five good cheers!
Here's the one other story that you can't afford to miss today
I loved the news, surprised to learn that anger, stress and worry actually decline as you grow older, according to studies at Stanford and other research centers (and my wife who is a marriage and family therapist). People grow wiser as they age (more willing to see a new point of view, change, learn, compromise, etc.) Marriages get healthier as love grows. Aging brings deeper satisfaction with social relationships.
And your happiness increases, even adding years to your life. Yes, good news about aging.
In fact, that's fabulous news, driving me back to an earlier book of mine on how anyone can retire as a spiritual, happy millionaire. Seriously, you can easily become one of these new kind of millionaires, I called them the "Zen Millionaires."
Here's their secret: It's really all in your head, your attitude, your state of mind, whether in fact, in spirit or just to feel like you're one, money or not, even if you're broke. You just do it.
Wealth, riches, happiness are all in your head
You control your mind. A few decades in business convinced me of this one simple truth: Becoming a millionaire is all in your head. It has little to do with wealth-building techniques, tools and rules we wrote about in "The Lazy Person's Guide to Investing" and "The Winning Portfolio." I've read the best books: "The Millionaire Mind, ""Instant Millionaire," "Automatic Millionaire," "Millionaire Next Door," "One Minute Millionaire," the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" series, and lots more. Even wrote one, "The Millionaire Code," and worked on Wall Street with Morgan Stanley.
Still, you can forget all the usual stuff: personality tests, asset allocation, stock picking, savings plans, budgeting, and so on. Yes, all that's what advisers, pundits, brokers and other experts want you to focus on. But even if you do, if you're not in the right state of mind, none of it will matter anyway.
But I keep coming back to this one simple fact: It's all in your head! Period. No excuses.
Here are the 10 best tips I picked up over the decades, not-so-secret tips that'll help you become one of America's next happy and spiritual millionaires:
1. Retiring rich isn't about money
Fidelity's iconic Peter Lynch says if you spend 15 minutes a year studying the economy, that's 10 minutes too much. And when money guru Ric Edelman researched 5,000 millionaires for his best-seller, "Ordinary People, Extraordinary Wealth," he discovered that millionaires spend an average of just six minutes a day on personal finance. They have better things to do. Get a life!
2. Accentuate the positive
Most of us have read books like Napoleon Hill's "Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude." That message was captured in Fast Company by a Special Forces instructor, a veteran of 26 years: "If you have a guy with all the survival training in the world who has a negative attitude and a guy who doesn't have a clue but has a positive attitude, I guarantee you that the guy with a positive attitude is coming out of the woods alive. Simple as that."

Leonardo DiCaprio remains on-board as Jordan Belfort, the real life sex, drugs, and rock and roll huckster who took the public for all their worth with his pumped up prices. However, it looks like Martin Scorsese is stepping down from the director's chair via a set of Doggy Steps to allow Ridley Scott the helm.Will this project actually happen and do we actually need it? Scott should be busy with those Alien prequels and DiCaprio is still slated to play J. Edgar Hoover in Clint Eastwood's upcoming Oscar bait. Besides, shouldn't Wall Street 2 and the bazillion documentaries about the financial crisis cover this bleak material pretty well? I really don't need a multitude of movies to remind me how I invested my life savings into stocks while they were at the bottom, only to see my investments issue a 210% return. Of course, I blew it all on nose candy. By which I mean, I spent a fortune on medical bills to get those damn Sweetarts out of my sinuses. (Deadline)
The 62nd Primetime Emmy Award Nominations were announced this morning with "Glee" leading the pack with 19 noms, and Sofia Vergara presenting the nominees with heaving bosoms. Emmy is obviously with Coco, as O'Brien's "Tonight Show" was nominated while Leno's was not. Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton were justly recognized for their work on "Friday Night Lights" but will have stiff competition going up against "Breaking Bad's" Bryan Cranston and "The Good Wife's" Julianna Margulies.Notable snubs are Ed O'Neill, "Community," and Charlie Sheen for his work on "Two And A Half Men." That man has done so much for comedy and sports car driven into ravine removal, and deserves so much more. Oh, so much more.LIST OF NON-BORING NOMINEES AFTER THE JUMP…
Move over Frank Darabont. Looks like there may be another Hawaiian-shirted director in town. We reported previously about "Weird Al" Yankovic's deal with Cartoon Network to air whatever lunacy he conjured up. Part of that deal was to create a live-action feature length film, but now Cartoon Network has decided against creating long-form live-action content for television. "Weird" is taking it all in stride though, and doing his best to get this project up on the big screen.As I had previously reported, after years of negotiation, I was able to sign a major production deal with Cartoon Network to provide content for them. They were primarily interested in live action features, so I pitched them on a movie idea. They loved it, and gave me the go-ahead to start working on the screenplay. I worked closely with them for several months, and after submitting my 4th draft, just when I was just about to get the official green light… Cartoon Network let me know that they were no longer in the feature film business.…it's not entirely bad news – the script went into turnaround, which means I'm free to sell it somewhere else. (Come to think of it, that was pretty much the exact thing that happened when I was trying to get UHF made.) So maybe it'll get produced at some point, maybe it won't… all I know is, I'll have a lot more free time this fall.Maybe it will, maybe it won't?! No way, "Weird." This is Hollywood. That apathetic approach won't get you anywhere in this town. If you want to see your dreams on the silverscreen, you need to strap on your accordian, bust into those boardrooms, and show those overpaid dick krinkles just who the eff they're dealing with. Don't leave there until you hear the words "go picture." You're "Weird Al" Yankovic, and you don't take no sh*t from nobody. And make sure they validate your parking. (Al's Blog)
Awwwwe, not again! I got greedy!In what might as well be billed as the Please Give Us $12 More Dollars Tour, James Cameron's Avatar is returning to 3D and IMAX 3D theaters on August 27th. For those of you who are skeptical about paying for the "re-release" of a film that was still in theaters six months ago, 20th Century Fox has upped the ante by adding more than eight minutes of never before seen footage! If you're paying $12 or more for a 3D ticket, that comes out to well over a dollar-per-minute of new footage.The only way I'll pay to see Avatar again is if the new material consists of Jake Sully injuring himself to the point where his Avatar is confined to a wheelchair, just like his human body. Now that's irony! (Coming Soon)
Good news for pot heads everywhere! The cast for the next installment of the Harold and Kumar series has been announced. Aside from returning cast members Kal Penn, John Cho and Neil Patrick Harris, some impressive names are joining the film's roster. Joining the "Harold & Kumar" ensemble are Tom Lennon ("17 Again," TV's "Reno 911") and Danny Trejo ("Grindhouse"). Rounding out the new film cast are Amir Blumenfeld (TV's "Pranked," CollegeHumor.com), David Burtka (TV's "How I Met Your Mother"), Fred Melamed ("A Serious Man"), Patton Oswalt ("The Informant!") and Richard Riehle ("Halloween II"). Part 3 takes place six years after the last film, and centers around the duo's attempts to replace Harold's father's beloved Christmas tree, which was accidentally set ablaze by Kumar. For those of you who are too stoned to keep up with such a complex plot, not to worry. The film is being shot in 3D, which means all you'll have to do is sit back and look at the cool shapes and colors racing toward your face. What an age we live in! (Coming Soon)

Birdie.Denzel Washington is in talks to star in Safe House, an original spy thriller set in South Africa, but let's not make this a racial thing. The script, written by David Guggenheim, "follows a young U.S. intelligence agent who must go on the run with a newly arrived prisoner (Denzel's potential role) after his titular safe house comes under attack — think of a mix between Collateral and Three Days of the Condor." Sounds more like a mix between Bulletproof and Spy Hard. Guggenheim sparked a bidding war with the script this past winter.A spy thriller wouldn't be my next project choice for Denzel, but I don't commission 10% of his salary to tell him what sets to show up on. The overall concept for Safe House seems stale though, and I can't understand why studios would clamor over one another to secure it. Maybe Denzel knows something I don't. Like where I put my car keys. I gotta get out of this trunk before the sun sets. The desert gets chilly at night. (Vulture)
Good news. It looks like the monkeyslaps at MTV will show music videos again. Of course, they will be packaged with commentary from Beavis and Butthead. The deals aren't in place yet, but Mike Judge is planning on bringing the buttmunches out of retirement for a new set of 30 adventures. If picked up, the show will stick to its former format of sketch-videos-sketch with the focus being on more contemporary artists. In other words, there will be heated debate on who has the bigger schlong, Beavis or Lady Gaga. Smart money's on Gaga. (JoBlo)
Kudos to Colin Farrell for going au naturale on the set of the new Seth Gordon-directed comedy Horrible Bosses. I always knew his hair was too thick and lustrous to be real. The combover does an awesome job of transforming him into a superior I'd like to stab in the ear with a Bic.Horrible Bosses follows three friends who all have horrible bosses they want to end, so they decide to swap their murders like in that old Hitchcock flick Strangers on a Train. Netflix it, ya uncultured swine. The three guys are played by Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, and Charlie Day, and the bosses are Colin Farrell as coke head exec, Kevin Spacey as a master manipulator, and Jennifer Aniston as nymphomaniac dentist. Also, Jamie Foxx plays a scam artist named Motherfucker Jones, but I'm guessing you're too busy imagining getting banged by Aniston in a dentist's chair. (NYPost)
Kinda hot, right?Plot details for Men In Black 3 have entered the Internet's atmosphere and they reveal the film will be set in the 1960's. In the film, Will Smith must travel through time to stop Jemaine Clement's evil alien Yaz from killing Agent K. The thought being that without K around to defend the galaxy time and time again, the world will be completely destroyed. Which is bad. But on the other hand, we wouldn't have to suffer through Tommy Lee Jones' portrayal of Two-Face in Batman Forever. It's a toss up for me.The Apple Store appears in the film as a time travel hub with the iPhone being the primary device for personal time travel. It still won't be able to make or accept calls though. Science fiction can only take you so far. (JoBlo)
I'm not entirely certain, but I think I like this story better.
Have you always wanted to co-direct a movie with Ridley Scott but have been prevented from doing so by your crippling fear of 30 Odd Foot of Grunts guitarist Russell Crowe? Good news. Scott and State of Play director Kevin MacDonald are partnering with YouTube and Sundance to give everyday sacks like you the chance at finding your inner filmmaker.The documentary will be called Life In a Day, and feature video entries from DIY filmmakers around the world. The only real guideline is that you need to shoot and submit your footage on July 24th, 2010. Everyone whose footage is selected will receive a co-director credit in what is surely to be the longest opening credits sequence ever. This idea has actually sparked the imagination of several directors. In fact, Uwe Boll's firsthand experience with Epic Fails has him in talks to direct Break: The Movie (Ed. Note: Lie), and Brett Ratner is spending a lot of time on ChatRoulette. A frightening amount of time actually. (THR)
After a string of box office failures, Kevin Smith finds a successful second career as a mime.Don't expect to hear too much about Kevin Smith's Red State. Spurned by the media coverage caused by Southwest's no fatties policy, the director has decided to make his Fred Phelps-inspired genre-bending horror film quietly with no major announcements to the press. He'd also like to stay away from casting big names for the project, and focus more on the difficult task of casting well-known unknowns. This where story am confusing. Explain me Kevin, Smith."For the first time since "Clerks" I'm trying to go, not unknown, but actors who aren't like, you're gonna see them on screen and not know their name…it's a weird kind of in between neither place that I'm reaching for. It's not complete unknown and it's not remotely f*cking recognizable, name recognizable…It's really tough to find actors whose name you don't know. You know you can go to "Law and Order" and grab anybody from the cast and they've done five or six episodes and sh*t but you'd still recognize them and you'd be watching the movie and be like "that's that dude, I've seen that dude on "Law and Order!" "Huh? So, he's making a "Law & Order" movie? Without Sam Waterston? What's going on here? Did you catch all that Britney??(Collider)
M. Night Shyamalan's string of box-office failures has finally caught up with him. With the critical and financial debacle known as The Last Airbender dying a slow, painful death in theaters, Universal is seeking to distance its upcoming project, The Night Chronicles: Devil, from the director. Universal has decided to tweak the title a bit to something less … attributed to. According to Box Office Mojo the film will now be known simply as Devil. A safe move considering the crap The Last Airbender has been getting from critics and fans alike. While renaming the film is a great idea, I'm not sure it's going to fool everyone. Instead of Devil, maybe they should have went with The First Water Straightener or Not an M. Night Shyamalan Movie, just to be sure. (DreadCentral)

Good news everybody!! In forty years when we're all greeting the chubby masses at Wal-Mart because there's no money left for Social Security payouts, we can at least sleep peacefully knowing that the Twilight leads/murderers are living more than comfortably. Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner will be paid $41 million to mumble their way through The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. That breaks down to $25 million upfront plus 7.5 percent of the gross revenue. Multiply that by the fact that the gross is a f*ckload and you've got MO' MONEY! MO' MONEY!! MO' MONEY!!! That's solid arithmetic so don't even reach for your calculator.But, you know what? They've earned it. They put their privacy and safety in harms way on a daily basis. Bless those marble-mouthed youngsters and their chiseled stomachs. Now if you'll excuse me. The car I live in is being towed. Time to turn on the waterworks. (/Film)
"Reno 911" stars Thomas Lennon and Ben Garant took the time to sit down and review the porn parody of their popular Comedy Central show. Their ultimate conclusion is there's a lot more stuff in the XXX version that you can masturbate to. I hadn't ever seen the "Reno 911" porn before, so I was surprised at how well Sexy Dangle impersonates (Not Sexy?) Dangle. It's like he's really trying, which is both commendable and sad. Maybe the day will come when not all of his sketches end in a c*m shot. Check out the video review after the jump.
In today's edition of No Sh*t, Sherlock News, Roger L. Jackson, the actor who provided the voice of Ghostface killer, not rapper Ghostface Killah, in the previous Scream movies is returning for Scream 4. He pushed "staring into the abyss" two months and now there's an opening in his schedule. Jackson proclaimed in his normal voice:"It's a lot of fun, I love the work! It's going to be a great horror sequel."So there you have it, the guy who does the voice of Ghostface says not to worry about all the rewrites and recasting that is going on with Scream 4, it's going to be a great horror sequel. He's elated the gang could get back together so he can continue to shake off the stink of being the voice of Skeet Ulrich. (CinemaBlend)
Our sentiments exactly.Looks like MGM's brokeassedness will cost them a lot more than just The Hobbit. The studio's historic James Bond series is also reportedly out this bitch. Production has halted on the upcoming Sam Mendes-directed Bond 23, and that it may not begin again. In fact, it could be years before we see Bond on the big screen again. Which means we'll have to spend our time mercilessly blowing up our friends with proximity mines. Which gets old after the first few hundred times. From the UK Daily Mirror:Production crew were told in April the £132million blockbuster, starring Daniel Craig, had been postponed amid "financial problems" at debt-ridden movie studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which co-funded the film.But now it has confirmed the movie has been axed – and it could be years before the secret agent with a licence to kill is back on the big screen.Bond has been MGM's golden ticket for years on end. If they can't scrape together assets to make another blockbuster, it's unlikely they'll weather this storm. Better keep those Daniel Craig popsicles in the freezer for now, lame housewives and weird dudes. They're scary collector's items now.
Here's a quick video that turns "Arrested Development" into an action movie. Until I watched it, I didn't realize just how much fighting, shooting, and ziplining there was in the show. This could be a new direction for the feature film that will probably never get made. The Bluth family doesn't take kindly to anyone tearing them apart but themselves. Cue Buster mowing down a crowd of pedestrians.
I'm not even trying anymore.Today in Cuckoo Bananas News comes word that Javier Bardem will guest star on the next season of "Glee," and apparantly it was his idea. Bardem pitched the idea to Ryan Murphy, show creator and sex-banner, while working together on the set of Eat Pray Love. He explained to Entertainment Weekly in a gravelly, seductive voice that heretofore has only existed within the lust-soaked pages of Harlequin novels:"We're going to rock the house," enthuses Bardem, who became an unabashed Gleek after watching the entire first season in one week. "We're going to do some heavy metal — Spanish heavy metal, which is the worst." Whoa, whoa, whoa, Javier. DO NOT insult the work of Brujeria. You have no idea the amount of blood, sweat, and tears that went into making "The Mexicutioner." Granted, most of it was from groupies but still….
Wicked Lasers designed a blue laser called the Spyder III Pro Arctic that looks an awful lot like a lightsaber. It has the ability to kill people, and LucasFilm has a problem with that. Even the warning on the product itself basically says not to turn the thing on: Warning: Extremely dangerous is an understatement to the power of 1W of laser power. It will blind permanently and instantly and set fire quickly to skin and other body parts, use with extreme caution and only when using the included eye protection. Customers will be required to completely read and agree to our Class IV Laser Hazard Acknowledgment Form. It doesn't get more metal than setting fire to skin and other body parts. Do they mean body parts not covered by skin? What kind of creature is handling these miracles of modern science? Apparently those pussies at LucasFilm can't handle the shear awesomeness of death lasers: It has come to our attention that a company called Wicked Lasers is selling a highly dangerous product out of Hong Kong that is designed to look like a lightsaber from Star Wars. This product is not licensed or approved by Lucasfilm in any way. We have demanded that Wicked Lasers immediately cease and desist their infringing activities. As Wicked Lasers itself admits, this product can cause serious injury to the user and other people. We strongly discourage consumers from purchasing it. I guess I get it. Someone sells a product that resembles a cherished icon from your landmark films, and said product sets some kid on fire, you might wind up with egg on your face. But it's awesome blue egg that emits a 445nm ultra high power 1W beam which appears up to 4000% brighter than the Sonar's 405nm violet beam! Check out video of the Spyder III after the jump…
Very rudely, the Predator race has used the planet as their personal playground without so much as a tip of the hat.This year, they're back, and they're taking some of us with them back to their personal game reserve.

He's made Adrien Brody go full-retard and Mark Wahlberg apologize to plants, but it looks like M. Night Shyamalan won't have the opportunity to shame Bradley Cooper. The A-Team star, who has flown tanks and willingly posed for the above picture, has opted out of Shyamalan's next project (which the Law of Averages dictates will be terrible) due to "schedule conflicts." Mmmmm-hmmmm.It's believed that Cooper will be tied up with The Hangover 2, but the news comes at a suspicious time as Shyamalan's The Last Airbender is drawing the worst reviews of the year. And let's not forget, Furry Vengeance and Clash of the Titans came out this year. Ryan Reynolds would be wise to screen his calls for the next few weeks. (Philly.com)
Last month, director/screenwriter Corey Edwards started a pissing match with the Weinstein Brothers over a possible new Fraggle movie. In a post on his blog, Edwards claimed that the Weinsteins were searching for a new screenwriter because his version was not "edgy" enough. Now comes word that Edwards and the Weinsteins have cleared the air, probably due to the fact that Edwards is contractually obligated to direct the film. I've been able to sit down with Weinstein's new VP of Development and really talk about their issues with the movie. We've had some very good conversations about what they think "edgy" is and what I think "edgy" is. We got down to the philosophies of why to even make a Fraggle movie in the first place. And I think they've been able to qualify their word "edgy" with the word "older." They want this movie to connect with an older, more sophisticated audience. I'm surprised this is even an issue. What can be more "sophisticated" than a bunch of glorified sock puppets singing and dancing in a magical underground world? As the following quote from Jim Henson demonstrates, sophistication is what the Fraggles are all about. "It is a high-energy, raucous musical romp. It's a lot of silliness. It's wonderful." (/Film)
Robert Rodriguez wants to make Sin City 2. Fans want to see Sin City 2. Studios and theater owners want to make money off of Sin City 2? So what the hell's the hold up on Sin City 2?Apparently, Rodriguez just hasn't been able to find the time for a followup. After all, Spy Kids 4 and The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl aren't going to make themselves.But now comes word that Rodriguez has finally started a much needed rewrite to the Sin City 2 script, and the director is still very excited about the project. With any luck, fans will be seeing violent, on-screen castrations before the end of the decade. (Cinema Blend)
When James Cameron isn't saving the indigenous people of South America or cleaning up the BP oil spill, he spends time on his favorite hobby: filmmaking. Currently, Cameron is tinkering with a little-known film called Titanic. It was originally released in 1997 and was primarily shown in art-house theaters and on college campuses. Now, Cameron hopes to bring his work to a wider audience by converting it to 3D and re-releasing it to theaters in April of 2012.2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's sinking, which went down on April 14th, 1912, much to the delight of melodramatic film lovers everywhere.

How bad is Twilight: Eclipse? It's so bad that men in the prime of their lives are dropping dead after a single viewing. Don't believe me? Then how do you explain this poor "transient" in New Zealand? The body of the man was found in a movie theatre at the Reading complex on Courtenay Place by a staff member shortly before 8.30pm last night, said police. The theatre had been screening The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.Well, there you have it. Twilight kills. What other explanation can there be for why a 23-year-old transient would drop dead? Haven't you seen Hobo with a Shotgun? They're practically indestructible. (NZHerald)
Someone finally made a song about the awesomeness that is Bruce Willis. The music video for Jeep Cherokee's catchy little diddy plays out like a montage of cinematic bad-assery.

AURORA, Colorado, (NBC NEWS) -- The Colorado theater that was the site of July's "Dark Knight Rises" mass shooting has reopened.
A remembrance ceremony was held at the theater that's been renamed the Century Aurora.
"We are a community of survivors and we are a community that is united in our recovery... the reopening of this theater is part of that recovery process," Aurora mayor Steve Hogan told the crowd.
About 2,000 invited guests attended the remembrance ceremony, victims, their families, first responders and hospital workers all impacted by the horror of July 20th.
"For many here tonight this is the path to healing and part of that process," said Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper.
Afterwards a movie was shown at the former crime scene.
Family members of victims had the opportunity to tour the theater earlier this week.
Some are stayed away, calling the reopening events "disgusting", while others say it's one more step toward healing.
Theater 9, once the scene of horrific carnage, is now a digital theater with a wall to wall and ceiling to floor screen.
Despite the redesign, some say this will always be a haunting reminder of the crimes committed inside.
"None of us are interested in ever setting foot in that theater, that killing field, ever again," says Sandy Phillips, mother of one of the victims.
"We would prefer for it to be torn down," adds Eriz Scott, another victim's mother.
Tom Sullivan, whose son Alex was killed in the massacre, supported the reopening.
"We decided we're going to celebrate Alex's life. That's what we're going to do. We will be at places Alex would have been," he says.
Shooting survivor Harell Brooks agrees.
"I don't want it to be something holding me back from moving on," he says..
Suspect James Holmes, bound over for trial after a hearing last week, is scheduled to enter a plea in March.

Undergraduate Russian
The goal of the Russian language classes at Sarah Lawrence College is to teach students to speak, comprehend, read, and write a fascinating language with a logic very different from that of English. Oral proficiency is the focus of the first-year class, culminating in end-of-semester projects where students, in small groups, write and film skits. In the second-year course, reading is also emphasized—and we include short stories and poetry, as well as texts paired with films. Topics, texts, and authors covered in the advanced class vary widely, and student input is strongly encouraged; past syllabi have included works by authors such as Pushkin, Gogol, Tolstoy, Tsvetaeva, Bulgakov, and Pelevin, as well as films. Student work in class and conference is also supplemented by weekly meetings with the language assistant and by a variety of extracurricular activities, including a weekly Russian Table, Russian opera at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, and excursions to Brighton Beach, Brooklyn's "Little Odessa."
Students of Russian are strongly encouraged to spend a semester or, ideally, a year abroad. Sarah Lawrence students regularly attend a variety of programs, including: Middlebury College's School in Russia, with sites in Moscow, Irkutsk, and Yaroslavl; Bard College's program at the Smolny Institute in St. Petersburg; the Moscow Art Theatre School Semester through Connecticut College; ACTR in Moscow, St. Petersburg, or Vladimir; and CIEE.
The Russian program also offers courses taught in translation as part of the literature curriculum. Recent literature courses include: The Literatures of Russian and African American Soul: Pushkin and Blackness, Serfs and Slaves, Black Americans and Red Russia; Dostoevsky and the West; The 19th-Century Russian Novel; and Intertextuality in the 20th-Century Russian Novel. More generally, students of Russian also pursue their interest in Russia and Eastern Europe in many other areas of the College. Conference work always may be directed toward the student's field of interest; courses focusing either entirely or in part on Russia and/or Eastern Europe are regularly offered in a number of disciplines, including history, film history, dance history, and philosophy.

Custom bags and accessories don't mess around when it comes to spreading your message! These promotional items have dozens of possible uses that you may have never thought about. For instance, did you know you can imprint your logo on messenger bags and distribute them on a college campus? Some businesses even offer discounts on products when students use their personalized cinch packs instead of paper or plastic bags.
Raise money for a school trip by selling custom sling bags (that the students can then use on the trip!). Distribute personalized travel cases to customers who book trips, hotels, rental cars, and other travel services through your website. You can also congratulate top students at the school with personalized backpacks.
Or, customize compu-backpacks for employees who are always traveling; make the gift worth the jetlag and crappy airline food. Put your business card in a custom luggage tag and give one to each interested attendee at your trade shows (lots of travelers rely on bag tags). That way, no matter where your clients go, they'll never stray far from your logo!
Speaking of trade shows, there are few things as satisfying as handing out custom convention totes near the door of your next event and watching your competitors' logos disappear from view inside your walking billboard! Imprinted business cases (both debossed and silkscreened products are available at Quality Logo Products) make an impact long after the show has ended.
For a boost to your word-of-mouth advertising, donate customized duffel bags to local sports teams (in lieu of or in addition to a sponsorship). You'll knock that fundraiser for a local children's sports team out of the park with the sale of customized duffel bags to family and fans! Before you finalize your order, though, consider including first aid kits and sunscreen in a custom fanny pack to give away to spectators at outdoor events - they're lifesavers.
If fanny packs or duffels aren't your cup of Gatorade, then consider packing customized bags with other promotional items like stress balls and pens for an amazing package. For gyms and exercise facilities, custom drawstring backpacks make good incentives for new clients to sign up. Wouldn't you like to increase those membership renewals?
But wait--there's more! Have you tried sending home company picnic leftovers in customized convention totes? Doing so will help employees pack tomorrow's lunch and build brand recognition at the same time. Now that's a memorable business meeting in the great outdoors.
Even local bands and musicians benefit from logo-ized bags! Print your band's name, logo, and website address on customized messenger bags to sell at your next gig. You could also try sling bags--the carry-ons that never go out of style!
No matter what you decide to use them for, the custom bags in this category appeal to everyone and help people tote around their belongings. Multi-level marketers can really get revenue streams flowing with our help! If you need help finding the best fit for your needs, then just give Quality Logo Products a call. We can't wait to make your promotions a success.

Compliance Assistance & Pollution Prevention in New England
Healthcare in New England
Welcome to EPA New England's Healthcare Home page - your guide to environmental resources and assistance for hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
In providing healthcare, the mission of a medical facility is to protect and improve the health of those in the community being served. With nearly 300 hospitals and thousands of other healthcare facilities in New England, the potential environmental and health impacts from these operations can, however, be significant. Hospitals, for example, use a wide range of toxic chemicals, generate large quantities of wastes, and consume vast amounts of energy and water.
The EPA New England Healthcare Assistance program is helping to provide the information facilities need – information to help them reduce the environmental impacts of their operations and improve their understanding of and compliance with environmental regulations. We're also helping facilities realize the cost savings and environmental benefits that can be attained through improvements in recycling, energy efficiency and water conservation.
While our assistance efforts focus primarily on hospitals, much of the information is applicable to smaller healthcare facilities as well.
Use the links below to access a wide range of information. If you can't find what you need or would like to hear more about what's going on, please contact Janet Bowen, EPA's Regional Healthcare Assistance Coordinator. She can be reached at:

Roasting is a common cooking method used in both the residential and commercial kitchen, but the end results just wouldn't be the same without proper roasting pans doing what they do best. Create impressive meal centerpieces and (slowly) cook up something delicious with the right roasting pans working for you in the kitchen. Ideal for both small and large cuts of meat and poultry, the right sized roasting pans are extremely versatile when it comes to tackling some tough commercial kitchen tasks. Pop a roast into the pan, garnish liberally with your choice of vegetables, sauces, and herbs, and let the oven do the rest. The only other thing you'll need is a reliable thermometer, and you'll be headed to roasting heaven.

OGDENSBURG - State Senator Patty Ritchie will present two New York state Park Police officers with the New York State Liberty Award Tuesday for their role in rescuing a man from the St. Lawrence River last summer.
In June, New York State Park Police Officers John J. Friot Jr. and Dustin T. Lottie rescued a 70-year-old boater after he was overcome by carbon monoxide fumes while piloting a 28-foot cabin cruiser.
Thomas L. Clark doesnt remember much about the two state park police officers who rescued him on the St. Lawrence River on that Saturday morning in June after he was overcome by fumes while piloting a 28-foot cabin cruiser.
Officers Friot and Lottie took control of Mr. Clarks boat as it careened toward a dam while he was incapacitated at the controls.
Mr. Clark said he was returning his boat to the Robert Moses State Park marina after having mechanical work done when the boat began to stall. He used marine radio to summon help shortly before 11 a.m. June 1.
When officers Friot and Lottie arrived, Mr. Clark had started the boat up again. They decided it was still best to escort him into the marina, several miles away.
It stalled out again and I got it started, Mr. Clark said in a telephone interview in June.
One of the engine manifold pipes had blown a hole. He recalls lifting the engine hatch, dropping it on his foot and smelling exhaust.
And that was the last thing I remember.
Fumes quickly filled the enclosed cabin. The officers watched in horror as Mr. Clarks boat veered sharply toward the Long Sault Control Dam.
We could see he was slumped over the helm, Officer Friot said.
Officer Lottie quickly maneuvered the patrol boat alongside the out-of-control cabin cruiser. Officer Friot said adrenaline took hold as he leapt up onto Mr. Clarks vessel.
Officer Friot managed to stop the boat about 200 feet from the dam, Officer Lottie said. But the boat wouldnt start again, and it was clear Mr. Clark was in urgent need of medical attention.
They quickly switched places. Officer Lottie managed to get the boat started, opened the cabin to let in fresh air and headed for the marina. There, an ambulance took Mr. Clark to Massena Memorial Hospital, where he was treated and later released.
Senator Ritchie will present the officers with the Liberty Award at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the Dobisky Visitors Center in Ogdensburg.
The New York State Senate Liberty Award is one of the highest civilian honors that a New Yorker can receive. Similar to the national Congressional Gold Medal, the award is given to individuals who have merited special commendation for exceptional, heroic, or humanitarian acts and achievements on behalf of their fellow New Yorkers.
Thousands of readers like you have made Northern New York Newspapers the number one ranked website* for local news and sports coverage in the north country.

"The next stop will be..."
On the DC Metro, we are told: "The next stop will be X".
When will the next stop be x?
I'm pretty sure the next stop *is* X!
Sort by
A case could be made for either construction, but I think context trumps syntax in this instance. That context is the subway. The phrase "the next stop will be" is more likely to be understood in a crowded train than "the next stop is." The sibilant "is" would be more easily drowned out than the sharper-sounding "be."
1 vote • Permalink • Report Abuse
You're correct: the next stop *is* X, because the order of stops is a predetermined list.
But they are also correct: the next stop *will be* X, because you haven't stopped there yet.
0 vote • Permalink • Report Abuse
I have a question. Should it be "next stop" or "THE next stop"?

'Sometimes I get tired from carving bears'
EUGENE, Ore. -- Chipped wood is what Kevin Strauslin sees every day. It is a byproduct of his work. Strauslin is a wood artist and has a workshop in Eugene.
"I once saw a couple of things in a magazine," he said of how he began his livelihood of wood carving, "so I went and grabbed some chisels and started chiseling some stuff."
Today, Strauslin is a professional carver and even enjoys participating in competitions.
Art can make you rich. This applies at least to a friend of Kevin Strauslin. The wood carver sold a big horses-statue to actor John Travolta and earned over $200,000, Strauslin said. He, too, dreams of creating a wooden masterpiece. "It should be something that enhances the world," he said.
But even if Strauslin dreams of carving something extraordinary, the daily work and revenues are often produced by his most popular wood carving: The Bear.
You can see some examples outside of his shop on Highway 99 in Eugene. They come in many sizes from cute little bear cub statues to large grizzlies.
Within seconds Kevin Strauslin carves the face of a bear out of wood. A bigger bear statue takes about half a day, according to the carver.
"Sometimes I get tired from carving bears," Strauslin said.
He enjoys challenges: "I like it when people come in and give me something really hard to do."
And he likes competitions. At the Reedsport Divisional Chainsaw Competition in 2009, Strauslin won 4th place in the Semi-Pro Division with a huge wooden Bigfoot.
Big dark logs lay around behind the workshop. He and his 17-year-old son Tyler get most of it from mills, but they also get some of their supply from out in their large yard.
But just how do they manage to carve out a dragonfly from just a block of wood?
"We have probably every tool you can think of," Strauslin said. "We got one of everything and use them a lot."
Nevertheless, the preferred tool by the father and son duo is the chain saw, and the roaring sounds they produce are part of everyday work.
Strauslin said that at times, he gets tired of carving bears -- not to say he doesn't love his job; he believes that this trade was meant for him to do.
He also has another goal: To have one of his wooden creations showcased in a museum someday.

The Progetti Story
In the late 1970s, an engineer by the name of Lenti founded Progetti in the small town of Carate Brianza in northern Italy. With an inherently precise, mathematical mind, Lenti was also a great lover of modern design. He was able to bring both aspects together in the sculptural design and precise workings of ultra-modern clocks and other home accessories.

IMO his best position is BAT. I would rather sign LaRoche and his plus defense for 2/25M before I would sign Swisher as a full time DH at 3/40M.

Matt P wrote:Swisher isn't going to sign as a full time DH though. He's a good fielder.
ofahn wrote:
On our team he would be either a 1B or the LF. Chris Davis is NOT a plus defender, but I don't see him as much worse than Swisher; and Swisher is probably going to decline through the contract. Swisher will also NOT be a plus defender in LF. Again, I don't see him as a significant improvement over Davis there. IMO we would be better off spending the money on LaRoche and having a plus defender for at least one position.
Matt P wrote:I think offensively that Swisher is so much better and more consistent than LaRoche
ofahn wrote:
What do you base that on?
Matt P wrote:It'll be interesting to see where Dan goes with this.
Will he re-sign McLouth after 2 months of mediocre play? Will he go after Swisher as a FA who can get on base and play mediocre defense? Will he try and deal for someone? Will he stick with someone in house like Reimold, Davis, or Hoes? Hopefully we find out this week.
Matt P wrote:
He's coming off a career year in which he wasn't as good offensively as Swisher was last year. Also, maybe I'm wrong but I am pretty sure I remember reading back when he was a free agent last time he was usually a slow starter who ended the season hot. Either way, I don't think he really wants to come to Baltimore. He could have come two years ago but decided against it.
ofahn wrote:
I don't see the difference between them at the plate, but I believe that LaRoche is SUBSTANTIALLY better at 1B than Swisher.
Matt P wrote:LaRoche in a career year was just about the same as Swisher and Swisher has been the same since he arrived in New York. Sure, he's probably going to be a lot better than Swisher at 1B defensively but Swisher would likely play LF with Davis at 1B. Davis was touted as a great defensive 1B while he was in the Texas system. Don't forget that when he got to Baltimore he was playing 3B and 1B. Once they decide where he is going to be playing he will be able to focus on that full time to prepare for next season.
Matt P wrote:I don't think McLouth signed to platoon.

Probably not, but it's not his choice.

Who Knew They Had Such Skill? 10 Photos Proving Cats Really Are NinjasDevan McGuinness
I have grown up with cats all my life and have always thought there was something just a bit extra special about them. They seem to know what you're thinking before you even know what you're thinking and have this way about them.
They can sneak up on you when you didn't even know they were around, they fit into places you would put money on would be impossible and they climb like nobody's business. That sounds a lot like something else — the cunning abilities of real life ninjas. They must have learned their skills from something — their moves and skills inspired by something the studies hard.
My guess, cats are the inspiration because no one could teach a cat to be this awesome — it just oozes out of them.
