Macworld Expo 2008 in San Francisco is going to have many events for users to participate in this year, with three Feature Presentations, 150 training conferences, and several other notable events. Macworld VP Paul Kent told MacNN that The Feature Presentations consist of the Macworld Magazine "Best of Show" awards on Wednesday afternoon, while Thursday morning holds David Pogue's "Macworld Live", and Thursday afternoon will see Andy Ihnatko's "The Process of Elimination" game show. All Feature Presentations will be accessible to registered Macworld Expo attendees.
Research in Motion reported third quarter results for the three months ended December 1, 2007. Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was $1.67 billion, up 22% from $1.37 billion in the previous quarter and up 100% from $835.1 million in the same quarter of last year. Approximately 1.65 million BlackBerry�subscriber accounts were added in the quarter and over 3.9 million devices were shipped. The total BlackBerry subscriber account base at the end of the third quarter was approximately 12 million. The company expects to add 1.82 million accounts in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, the iPhone has managed to outperform long-term competitors in the smartphone market, says a new study in the January 2008 issue of Consumer Reports.
In brief: We've published a review of the Wacom Bamboo series, there are 10 new ways to trick out your MacBook, a new tutorial explains how to make icons for Mac OS X, the Firefox 3 beta has debuted, and Apple ranks 11th in Web traffic for November ... We've posted a review of the the new Wacom Bamboo Series, which promises tablets for the masses, employing a textured surface to mimic the pen-and-paper feel for your stylus and to replace the mouse in everyday tasks such as handwriting text, drawing, and even general desktop navigation. The Bamboo branding challenged my initial skepticism, turning out to be somewhat apropos; the instrument's origins reach back to the first bamboo and fur pens in China. Although its sleek look is less than organic, the Bamboo packs the same surprising functionality in a small footprint as it grass namesake.
Information Appliance Associates recently unveiled four new games for Mac users, designed to give adults a "recess" to look forward to in their work day. IAA says that these four games are the beginning of a new product line that allows adults to take a stress relieving break in their work day. The first four games are as follows: PocketMac LunarMines, PocketMac Tic-Tac-Toe, PocketMac Hangman, and PocketMac TaiwanTiles. IAA is currently selling the games through its website, and each title ranges from $10 to $20.
One of the key reasons Radiohead has refrained from signing on to digital music is licensing rights, the band's lead singer Thom Yorke says in an interview with Wired. The musician observes that the group's previous, multi-album contract with music label EMI contained virtually no clauses for digital music rights as it was struck years before digital music stores were available. Radiohead's release of In Rainbows in October with flexible pricing was the first real opportunity the group had to earn money on a digital offering.
Boomwave has launched Nanopets for Apple's current-generation iPod nano. The portable player cases feature rounded corners with dog eared designs, and come in four different colors which include 'Doggstarr' black, 'Spitzer' white, 'Bichpoo' pink, and 'Bludhound' red. Each Boomwave character includes a screen protector and a neck strap. The cases are made from high grade silicone, and are priced at $16.
Sharp criticism is being directed at ZDNet's George Ou for a piece suggesting that Macs are more vulnerable than Windows PCs. Ou compiled a list of Secunia notices from 2007, and noted that while Windows XP and Vista had a total of 44 security warnings issued, Mac OS X had 243, all but two of which were deemed "highly critical." One problem with this, say observers, is that Secunia itself includes a warning on its website, advising people not to use its statistics to compare products against each other.
Macware today released Logo Design Studio Pro (site down at time of writing), a new vector-based logo design application build from the ground up with two years of Macware customer feedback. "When developing our new vector based logo design application, we discussed the core design features with our Logo Design Studio users so we could truly take the Pro version to a new level," says Bruce Lowry, Macware's President and CEO. "In fact, we quickly realized we needed development to start from scratch in order to deliver an experience that any novice or professional would appreciate." Logo Design Studio Pro is priced at $60 (system requirements were unavailable).
The RapcoHorizon Company is planning to unveil its new LTI-1 stereo interface at Winter NAMM 2008. The device, which is designed to connect laptops to audio equipment via a 3.5mm plug and a 3-foot attached cable, features bult-in ground lift switches as well as a -20db pad with left and right LXR outputs. The RapcoHorizon Company will showcase the new device -- which is already available for $135 -- at Winter NAMM in Booth no. 4558, Hall C. [corrected]
RIM's upcoming touchscreen BlackBerry may disappoint users expecting a perfect device, according to updated information provided by BGR. Although earlier claims have alluded to a 3G Internet linkup, the initial version of the device known as the BlackBerry 9100 will be limited to slower 2.5G EDGE for wide-area data. In return, the handset will support 802.11a WiFi networks popular with some workplaces as an alternative to 802.11g, according to the tip.
TLA Systems today announced the 50th release of DragThing 5.9.2, its alternative Dock software for the Mac. The newest version represents its 50th incarnation since DragThing first debuted in 1995 at version 1.0. The release is primarily aimed at solving a few bugs from the company's first Leopard aware version, v5.9, but also has some new features. TLA added the ability to sort hierarchical folder menus by date or by kind, and have implemented a new theme called "Panthera Lite". Existing registered users of DragThing 5 can upgrade for free, while new users are looking at $30 for a license.
Apple has filed a new patent for a wireless transaction system that looks like it will be used in the iPhone and allow users to order products and pay for them instantly. Apple's patent details their merchant-client wireless system which will work with cellular, WiFi, WiMAX or Bluetooth networks. Among the areas covered by the patent are the ability to access restaurant menus on the go. The system would allow merchants to be able to push their new ads to devices that are tuned into this new web service, and hence would require local merchants to be on board with the initiative.
Claiming to beat the Alienware m15x and other upcoming systems in the video performance race, Widow PC today rolled out its Sting 517D2. The gaming PC house says it is the first to install NVIDIA's new GeForce 8800M GTX mobile graphics chipset in a shipping notebook and uses it to provide desktop-class 3D games in a 17-inch portable. The extra performance and 512MB of video memory are also useful for driving full-resolution Blu-ray or HD DVD movies without taxing the main processor, Widow explains.
Air France has become the world's first airline to equip an international flight with a form of regular cellular technology, says the Associated Press. One of the company's Airbus A318s now lets users send e-mail and text messages through an onboard GSM antenna, which connects to a satellite that in turn transmits to the ground. The main obstacle for the service, at the moment, is infrequency; aside from only being a part of a six-month test, not all flights on the A318 will have access. To this end a "No Mobile" light has been installed in the plane.
Samsung significantly expanded its Aura line of notebooks today with the advent of the R700. An international version of the Sens Q70, the 17-inch is aimed at desktop replacement users who still want a thin, stylized system. It measures just 1.17 inches thick but includes a baseline GeForce 8400M GS graphics chipset to drive HD playback; an HDMI output is standard for relaying video to a TV. A 1.3-megapixel webcam and a full-size keypad also separate the glossy black system from some other large notebooks.
Sony Japan on Thursday unveiled what it says is a solution to the current problems of multi-touch displays. By using a low-temperature polysilicon LCD, the company has successfully interwoven optical sensors into the display surface, creating an exceptionally thin surface that can still respond to visual cues for control, including inorganic devices such as a stylus. This represents a major improvement over current hardware, Sony says. Other multi-touch screens currently require a multi-layer technique that increases the thickness of the display and leaves the input open to quality deterioration if the layers become loose.
FM::Nexus has released Dragon Web Surveys 8.0, signaling a complete redesign of the survey software for the FileMaker database platform. Dragon Web Surveys 8.0 is entirely rebuilt with the fully integrated PHP functionality in FileMaker Server 9 for increased reliability, allowing respondents to attach files as well as images with responses while connecting responses directly to any existing FileMaker databases. Dragon Web Surveys 8.0 is priced at $1,900, and requires Mac OS X or Microsoft Windows.
New information has surfaced about Research in Motion's first touchscreen phone as well as a major upgrade to the BlackBerry Pearl, claims a new research note from the financial group GMP Securities. Referred to as "Touchscreen 1.0" in the note but known in online circles as the BlackBerry 9100, the device is shown in a patent schematic that appears to confirm a slide-out QWERTY keyboard underneath a large touchscreen display, letting the phone live up to the company's reputation for messaging while offering a more intuitive interface than the trackball found on 2007 phones.
A Spanish-language website claims to acquired photos and specifications on three new, unannounced AMD video cards. Of these the most notable may actually be the slowest of the group, the Radeon HD 3450; while it only has a 525MHz core and 256MB of 800MHz memory, it is the only one of the three known to have a DisplayPort connection, the second from the company after the previously-revealed RV635 XT. DisplayPort is intended to eventually replace DVI and VGA ports, and it may subsume HDMI as well, since companies do not have to pay for its use.
The US government's Federal Trade Commission has approved Google's acquisition of DoubleClick, the Associated Press reports. The two signed a deal in April worth $3.1 billion, but the purchase has since undergone much scrutiny, primarily due to worries that Google might develop a monopoly in online advertising. This opinion was voiced especially strongly by Microsoft and AT&T, despite the former of the two having bought the ad firm aQuantive. Microsoft is pushing heavily into areas currently ruled by Google, such as web search and mapping.
Avaya has announced plans to ship its Avaya one-X Mobile software for iPhone in the first quarter of next year. Avaya one-X Mobile builds on the functionality of Extension to Cellular by providing a family of mobile clients designed to further enhance the productivity of enterprise mobile workers, according to the company. The family of Avaya one-X Mobile clients provides quick access to office phone functionality via an intuitive graphical user interface, and supports a broad array of devices ranging from high-end smart phones to less expensive consumer-oriented phones.
Nokia's long-awaited sequel to the N95 smartphone may have been spotted, according to a leak posted in Mobile-Review's forums. Named simply the N96, the slider includes the extra gaming and media controls of the N81 but also the large LCD and two-way slider of the N95 8GB; it will also have the higher-resolution, 5-megapixel camera of the N95 series complete with Carl Zeiss optics. Unlike the recent N82, however, flash lighting will come from two LEDs rather than a single Xenon bulb.
Sonic Studio has released the v1.2.1 update to soundBlade, its high-end audio production software. The software handles a variety of daily tasks, such as recording, editing, and running AU and VST plug-ins; it also handles gain adjustment and external processors however, and has its own set of premastering tools. If desired, soundBlade's audio engine can be be toggled to use Mac OS X's Core Audio system, instead of an external DSP card such as Sonic Studio's own.
A new patent filed by Apple describes a next generation digital device called the iPod Boombox, or simply the Boombox. Proof of the Cupertino-based company's plans surfaced today in a patent published by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, wherein Apple describes the device as having a display or user interface in the center of the face panel. An Apple Remote associated with the Boombox will allow users to interact with the device via an application like Front Row, while volume control buttons on the chassis itself provide physical control.

Macgamestore.com and Toybox Games have released Hidden Relics for Mac, a puzzle-based game challenging players to retrieve stolen antiques that are hidden throughout Europe. Hidden Relics for Mac features nine unique mini games, 40 secret hidden items, and high-resolution graphics. The title is priced at $20, requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later, and runs natively as a Univesal Binary on Intel-based Macs.
A new teardown of the iPod touch shows that it is not as similar to the iPhone as one might think, according to the research firm iSuppli. While cosmetically and functionally identical to the iPhone in many regards, such as in its "springboard" touchscreen interface, the iPod touch shows internal evidence of using a different design with some advancements. The player has a single printed circuit board (PCB) instead of two, for instance, onto which the touchscreen circuitry has been moved as well. Similarly, new components have been put in the Touch in service of its Wi-Fi functions.
Samsung's high-end G800 slider phone should be available in the US, according to a newly posted set of FCC filings discovered by Electronista. The company will bring over a variant known as the G808E that should retain the 5-megapixel camera, 3X optical zoom, and face recognition found in the original but will be tailored to the American market; while the current model is limited to only European and southeast Asian radio bands, the new document reveals support for the 850MHz and 1900MHz bands needed to work in the US.
Offering a preview of its first camera for 2008, JVC today unveiled the Everio GR-D850. The widescreen DV camera is designed primarily for those with small hands or newcomers turned away by the large grips of other camcorders; compared to the outgoing D750, the new model is more compact overall and 0.8 inches shorter, JVC says. Pressing an Auto button also hands over nearly all control over shooting to the camera, adjusting the picture quality and other picture settings on the fly. Its 2.7-inch wide LCD also auto-dims in low light.
BenQ today provided the surprise of a completely new entry in its Joybook portable line. The Q41 is the first notebook from the company to offer an external display for Windows Vista's SideShow feature: a 2.5-inch LCD on the outer lid lets users access e-mail, media, and simple games from the system even while turned off. Completely unique to BenQ, however, is the SideShow display's VoIP feature: owners can place Internet phone calls without having to boot up the main system and start conventional software, the company boasts.
An Apple lawsuit has resulted in the shutdown of one of the Mac community's most popular websites. Think Secret, originally started in 1998, was at one point one of the most popular sources for Apple news and rumors, particularly because its author, Nicholas Ciarelli (also known as "Nick dePlume"), was able to uncover otherwise confidential information. It is this that resulted in Apple legal action however, after a 2004 Think Secret report in which Ciarelli revealed iWork and the Mac mini before the company could announce it a month later at Macworld 2005.
Computer maker ASUS on Thursday began quietly seeding online retailers with the Eee PC 2G Surf, the current lowest-cost version of its 7-inch ultraportable notebook. Both J&R and online-only reseller NewEgg are carrying the new version, which significantly reduces the price of the system by halving the onboard flash storage to 2GB and stripping out the webcam. In exchange, the system gains several pastel color choices for its outer shell, including Lush Green and Sky Blue.
Sony is bowing out of the rear-projection TV business, the company has confirmed. The Japanese electronics firm has effectively halted production and will allow stock of both its 3LCD and SXRD sets to run dry over the course of the next few months. The decision is the result of several months of research which showed a clearly waning interest in such units, which are typically less expensive than direct-view LCD or plasma TVs at the same size but are often bulkier and have narrower viewable angles. LCDs are considerably more popular and better justify the company's focus, a Sony spokesman observes.
Thursby Software Systems recently announced upgrades to its Mac networking products, DAVE 7.0 and ADmitMac 4.0, bringing compatibility with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. The Arlington, Texas-based company says that the products offer significant networking stability over and above what Apple's operating system provides. Both updates are freely available from Thursby's website for users who purchased prior versions after July 31st, 2007, while new users can purchase DAVE for $120, and ADmitMac for $150, both of which have several licensing options.
Tekkeon recently revealed its lineup of cases for the iPhone, including a hard case with soft tactile properties, and several soft leather units. The Hard Case with Soft Touch is made from firm, genuine leather, and uses a hard plastic face plate to provide protection for the screen. Tekkeon says that the leather wrapping provides similar protection to rubber or silicone, but does not add as much bulk to the iPhone. The Hard Case with Soft Touch for iPhone is available in five colors - mint, pink, blue, black, and brown - through Tekkeon's web site for $30.

My final thought, Reid has failed to submit a budget in a record 1350 days now. Twist it any way you want, a fact is a fact. Just one of MANY examples of poor leadership. Just pitiful. Tard, GFY.Posted January 8, 2013 6:03 pm

It would be great if your delusions were true, but not unlike EVERYTHING else you throw out there, it's just more of the world according to Tard. Barry said he would have to have it straightened out in three years of his first term or he would be a one and done president. For his sake there are still enough believers out there to get him reelected regardless of his shortcomings. I voted for him the first time, but refused to for a second term due to his inability to get things done. Clinton and even rotten Ronnie were able to bring the parties together and accomplish what was needed in a bipartisan way. This presidential campaign was directed to the "what can you give us?, you know the entitled ones" group, and it worked. Come back in four years douche-nozzle when we are well over 20 trillion in debt and bankrupt, no more checks for your kind, then report how you like it.Posted January 8, 2013 11:24 am
LMAO…. None of your wing nut diatribe is true.. The GOP won't vote on the budgets Obama presents so we've been doing continuing resolutions. We were losing 800,000 jobs a month when Bush left a massive financial mess for Obama to clean up.. We've been adding an average of 160,000 jobs for over 40 straight months of job growth.. That has brought the unemployment rate down from 11% to 7.7%.. Obviously there a still millions of Americans unemployed and underemployed.. That's where the tax cuts for small business, the export bank, federal reserve policy, and focus on education and manufacturing are starting to pay off.. We are just starting to gain traction, like we were early in Bill Clinton's first term.. We'll need another Democratic president to be in 2 terms, and then get one more term to get going … Like Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman needed 5 terms to crawl out of the mess created by Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover.Posted January 8, 2013 4:47 am
It's Me, Ernie
Wow, you really don't have a clue. I saw it on some website so it must be true-LMFAO! Again, no budget for the last three years, hundreds of thousands of jobs have now gone overseas during his watch, record unemployment statistics, spent more that any other president in his first term than any two term president, claims to have more leeway to world leaders after his re-election, lied about Bengazi, has a cabinet full of criminals, has Bozo the clown for a VP, failed as a leader, our national credit rating gets embarrassingly lowered in front of the whole world, needs to raise the ceiling for spending, borrows 46 cents on every dollar spent, higher percentage of children living in poverty, heading us into probably a 22 trillion dollar debt by the end of his term that my great grand kids will inherit and have to figure a way to pay for the travesty called the Obama years.Posted January 8, 2013 1:17 am
Part of the information on that site includes — "President Obama knows we can't simply cut our way to prosperity. His budget includes investments in education, manufacturing, and infrastructure, while bringing discretionary spending to its lowest level as a share of the economy in more than 50 years. President Obama has put forward a specific, balanced plan of spending cuts and revenue increases that reduce the deficit by more than $4 trillion over the next decade—including $1 trillion in spending cuts he signed into law last summer as part of a deal with congressional Republicans"
Under our system the minority can block almost any bill they want from even being voted on. They can claim the majority isn't passing anything. This is the GOP's constant tactic. A parlimentary system works better with the lack of cooperation in the last 4 years..Posted January 8, 2013 12:55 am
It's Me, Ernie
Absolutely wrong and jaded, as usual. Hell Obama and his posse hasn't even had a budget in the last three years, which is TOTALLY on them and has nothing to do with the GOP. Please let the adults talk.Posted January 7, 2013 11:55 pm
Bull… Obama cut the annual deficit from 1.6 trillion the year he inherited it to 1.1 trillion this year.. Obama has offered cuts in social security, medicare, and defense…and where he has presidential powers Obama cut discretionary spending to a level below where it's been for 6 decades. The GOP won't go along with Obama's budget cuts or specify exactly what cuts they will agree to.. They're posturing and offering voucher programs for medicare. The same kind of crap they offered when they controlled the White House and both houses of congress under Bush — and did nothing but jack up deficit spending and destroy the economy.Posted January 7, 2013 11:25 pm
I'm not lower class you ridiculous ass… I'm one of those paying a lot more because of the expiration of Bush tax cuts for higher earners. They need to expire those rates for people making over 250,000 like Obama wants because we need more revs … You're a jerk who decides what other people think. Clinton didn't think we could spend our way out of debt and brought us a surplus.. Bush and the GOP didn't care and used a credit card for 2 wars and the Medicare drug benefit.. We pay the interest on the debt which is unbelieveable and unsustainable.. Any country that's gotten as indebted as ours has been devastated by hyper-inflation.. That would destroy the US dollar as the world's reserve currency. Economic growth with no recessions for 20 years is the only way out — regardless of where we put tax rates … Fat chance of that happening. Things were bad when Clinton took over but are nearly impossible now.Posted January 7, 2013 7:17 pm
It's Me, Ernie
I never said George Bush was a genius, just more of you believing you know what other people are thinking. Try not to sound so pitiful in your weak responses, it just makes everyone else's case for them. And no, the Kenyan and his cohorts have been on a spending spree for four years with no end in site. Redistribution of finances is getting expensive and hard on lower class folks such as yourself. You must be one of the naive ones who actually think an economy can spend it's way out of debt.Posted January 7, 2013 3:20 pm

The answer is no.. You're that freskin' stupid.. With your low IQ I have to make it clear.Posted January 5, 2013 5:17 am
You're an idiot Ernie. What do Al Gore's business transactions have to do with US tax policy? He'll do the best for himself and his associates as he can under current law. If he paid millions more in taxes it wouldn't make a dent in the federal budget, but hurt Gore.
Warren Buffett takes full advantage of tax laws for businesses he oversees that employ over 200,000 people because he needs to do the best he can for millions of share holders. Buffett was slammed by fellow billionaires for saying rich people should pay more in taxes. They suggested he send a check to the federal government for 20 billion dollars since he could afford it. He said, "That would cover deficit spending for a week. If everyone paid a fair tax rate we could pay off federal taxpayer debt in 20 years and cut tax rates. I'm not looking for short term solutions." That's being practical not ideological.Posted January 4, 2013 5:30 pm
Gore is taking advantage of the tax laws as they exist. As any sane person would.
Warren Buffett takes advantage of our tax laws too… He runs businesses that employ 200,000 people. He's responsible for doing the best he can for millions of share holders… But he always said billionaires like himself should pay a much higher rate in taxes…
He gets slammed by other billionaires who tell him to write a 20 billion dollar check to the federal government if he doesn't think he's paying enough. Buffett replies, "That would take care of deficit spending for a week, but if everyone paid a fair rate we could pay off the federal debt in 20 years and then cut taxes for everybody. I'm not interested in short term solutions."Posted January 4, 2013 4:06 pm
BTW… Had we PAID OFF federal taypayer debt on the trajectory Bill Clinton put us on, the average yearly savings for each US taxpayer—just by not having to pay interest on 19 TRILLION DOLLARS, would be an average of over 11,000 dollar in yearly savings by 2016.. That's a lot of money you could use to do things other than paying interest on T-Bills and Bonds held by very rich people… Bush and the GOP put America into an impossible budget mess.Posted January 3, 2013 1:42 pm
Funny thing… Republican congressmen always talk about cutting "spending" but never actually cut anything—or tell anyone where they want to cut. Obama actually went through the budget line by line and specified over 400 billion dollars in suggested cuts for congress. The Republcans used that to try to scare voters by running millions of dollars of lying TV ads saying Obama wanted to cut their medicare and social security benefits. That's the problem. You suggest cuts in spending anywhere or adjustments in elegibility standards, and you're attacked with TV ads aimed at those constituencies in the next election cycle. One day they claim Obama is a socialist, and the next day claim he wants to take food out of your mother's mouth.Posted January 3, 2013 1:28 pm

Hopefully to give you something to get your big girl panties in a bunch over and keep you out of here for a while so good folk can post, what ever happened to "My budget will cut the deficit by $4 Trillion over 10 years"? Not to mention:"I will go thru every page of the tax code…"?Posted January 2, 2013 4:05 pm
It's Me, Ernie
Wow, delusional not only on boxing, but the way things really are in America too. I bet you are one of those anti 2A Nancy types also.Posted January 2, 2013 3:38 pm
Obama isn't a liberal… And he's no deviant pole smoker like you… He's already reduced deficit spending by over 30% as a measure of GDP since taking over from pole smoker Bush—who inherited a huge budget surplus from Clinton with all US taxpayer debt scheduled to be paid off by 2010… Bush and the GOP destroyed that deal, cut taxes for billionaires 8 times, started 2 unpaid for wars, passed an unpaid for Medicare precription drug benefit, and allowed Wall Street to put America into The Great Recession—which destroyed tax revenues by a trillion dollars a year and increased payouts for unemployment by a trillion dollars… Look at American History and find out who was in power for 12 straight years as the Great Depression hit America.. The GOP of course.. Thankfully FDR and Harry Truman were able to fix things in 20 years.. This time Bush left America in a much worse mess.Posted January 2, 2013 3:33 pm

No one is underestimating Charr. Charr needs to fight someone in his league. Wilder in USA and not on German TV. Come back a hero after KO'ing Wilder or come back loser.Posted January 1, 2013 11:49 am
Too many are overestimating Haye and underestimating Charr. Charr earned my respect in the Klitschko fight whereas Haye lost it. Early on I think Haye's speed would give Charr troubles, but I think Charr would wear Haye down in the later rounds and win the fight. Good match up! I hope this fight happens.Posted January 1, 2013 8:33 am

Arreola is a lot like Solis… He lacks ambition and a time table.. As long as he can make money by fighting people who are no threat to beat him he'll do that.. I don't see that his skills, shape, strength, cardio-conditioning, or weight are improving very much.. If all he wants to do is eat, drink, party, go clubbing, shop, and watch TV, he'll never get any better than he was in his Adamek fight..
That fight told him he has a long way to go … and maybe he's not up to it.Posted December 30, 2012 9:35 pm
if areolla is in good shape adamek dont have a chance agains him I agree with you one that… for a cruizerweight to move up to heavyweight he must have a good k o. punch … ore a iron chin ….. atleast one of those two… adamek had a very good k.o. punch as light heavyweight as cruizerweight and now as a heavyweight he has prooven himself is a very good puncher and he can take a punch as wel he has a good chin… but those light hitters cunningham hernandez must have a good chin they must fight like a holyfield for example….. if they want to beat the klithkos ore pulev povetkin helenius char wilder chisora to be the new champ … if those cruizerweights can take a punch they have a chance…. that is my opinionPosted December 30, 2012 8:54 pm
Lightweight Mike
Nonetheless Dutchman it could very well be in his future with his height and age to do like Cunningham and give it a try for a title shot at heavy, there's money to be made up there.
lightweightmike…. i agreee with you.hernandez is a the best boxer out there .. beautyful fast technicel style but he does not have a punch at cruizerweight…… troy ross got robbed agains him in germany… and cunningham won one k.o agains troy ross… and cunningham doesent have a big punch …he had to run for his live agains adamek …..how can hernandez compete with heavyweights contenders like povetkin areolla pulev banks char chisoraPosted December 30, 2012 6:54 pm
how about this chisora vs pulev & price Vs banks in a elminator for wlad haye vs banks fury vs helnuiois elminators for vitaliPosted December 30, 2012 6:53 pm
no matter how much you want to knock charr & haye they are the only two heavyweights calling out for a decent fight, even fury & price are only saying we'll fight a klitscko in the next 18 months and i'll bet the mortgage that poetkin will duck out of fighting wlad. yet we have two heavyweights no matter what u want to say about them at least they only want to fight the bestPosted December 30, 2012 6:50 pm
pirate picnic
hayes resume cannot speak for itself at heavyweight so he must speak for himself and try to talk himself into another fight. Haye didnt even really have the wba title. it was some debaucle that chagaev get totally screwed by the wba and stripped for bogus reasons in which don king was involved. LOL………Calling haye the best is really pure subjectivity.Posted December 30, 2012 6:47 pm
Enter The Hayemaker
Haye doesn't need any eliminator fights, he's right at the top of the contender tree. Next to the Klitschkos, Haye is the best heavyweight in the world, by quite a long way. That's why he won't bother with anyone but a Klitschko. He'd definitely knock Wladimir out in a rematch, and Wlad knows it….Posted December 30, 2012 6:22 pm

Fight Aficionado
Why does Faye even warrant any headlines? He's an inactive boxer doing reality TV. He obv doesn't want to earn another title shot and you know he won't fight Charr or any other contenders.Posted December 30, 2012 2:48 pm
24-9 Konstantin Airich was no "tough test". He got KO'd for the 4th time, lost his 4th of 5 fights, and doesn't have any real notable wins on his resume. Sure Charr can keep beating guys that are #75-#150 for little trinkets but that's lame that he won't even fight top 30 guys for those pieces of junk. Now he just wants the money aspect.
If Charr beats Chisora, which I think he should, he'll have a solid resume at this point. Nothing wrong with being stopped by the Champ and then coming back with consecutive fights vs solid fighters. If he beats DelBoy, his stock will rise and maybe he can get Haye. The Germans spend to see their fighters rise, and Haye is all about money. Could be a potentially huge fight.
War Charr.Posted December 30, 2012 2:11 pm
Haye looked great vs Chisora, but his fights with Valuev and Harrison were real stinkers too. Worse than even his flopping disgrace vs Wladimir.Posted December 30, 2012 2:05 pm
Lightweight Mike
@DUTCHMAN, yeah maybe Hernandez is too weak for the division to become champ but he can beat Cunningham who can beat Adamek (a rematch of that one might be a good idea.) plus that's likely a more profiable division for him as a contender rather than
Charr is a bigger joke than Haye. Charr's effort against Vitalli was pathetic and so was his whinging afterwards.Posted December 30, 2012 1:27 pm
And lastly, something to ponder before having the discussion about the K Bro's and how there is really no one around tio rival them ! Then they question their greatness. Well the reality is —-NO ONE WANTS TO BE A HEAVYWEIGHT FIGHTER ANYMORE ! WHY…………………….Because eventually you have to face a Klistchko and lose ! NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF BOXING DID 2 PEOPLE HAVE THAT EFFECT ON A SPORT ! And thats the plain truth ! No top trainers will take a Heavy because where are you going to go ? Other big guys just say "F" this and stay out of boxing. That has never happened, ever in organized sport !!!!Posted December 30, 2012 1:25 pm
BY THE WAY……………………….Charr and Haye is a good fight worth wathing. Alot of action , Charr is a come forward brawler, HAYE will elude , jab, pot shot etc……F-I-N-A-L-L-Y a competetive heavyweight bout!Posted December 30, 2012 1:20 pm
The referee is the reason Charr is still here to say this stuff! It was funny when the fight ended and Char was running around ther ring looking to get at Vitali again and he runs full speed and slams chest to chest with Vladimir ! Look up at him and thought better of trying to continue.Posted December 30, 2012 1:18 pm
KC: word of advice…..BEFORE posting on a website try and find out at least a little about the subject. You ask who Manuel Charr is. Clearly you should be on a site for macrame makers and origama constructors cos your knwledge of boxing is non-existant. M. Charr is the most recent challenger for Vitali Klitchko's world heavy weight title. Use Google, you will find out a lot more about them all. Until then….bugger off. PS I realise you were being "clever" but professing ignorance doesn't actually mask the reality. You are!Posted December 30, 2012 1:16 pm
terror tim
Tyson, why does Haye deserve a break? He doesn't earn his title shots in the ring but with his mouth. We will never even know how good a fighter he is because he will never prove it in the ring. Even at Cruiserweight he went after an older Mormek who had shown big time signs of slowing down, defended his title once vs a mediocre fighter and left. He has never shown himself in the ring to be good so we can't admit to anything. He is exactly what is wrong with boxing.Posted December 30, 2012 1:08 pm
Where do they get these guys?? Manuel Charr??? Who the F" is he??!! Anyone??Posted December 30, 2012 1:06 pm
too lightweightmike…. did you see the…. hernandez vs troy ross…. fight when you see that fight… you think different about hernandez he is not strong enough for the heavyweight divisionPosted December 30, 2012 12:34 pm
Lightweight Mike
Y.P.Hernandez might be one also if he ever moves up.Posted December 30, 2012 11:17 am
Well Povetkin, Cunningham, Fury, Pulev would be a trial for him too Ruff.Posted December 30, 2012 11:13 am
He should fight the overated Adamek. Actually I think Vitali would beat Haye but he's reached the age to retire and shouldn't push it much longer. Right now Haye is looking at the bulging purse he would get if he fought VK first and winning the title second. He'd probably win it right now if it were vacant. Arreola would be a good one though, and Chris might just be able to take him. Don't hear much from Solis. Man there weren't many fights last night. Oleg Maskaev was supposed to return, I guess something happened and it fell through.Posted December 30, 2012 11:06 am
Red Ryan
Haye needs to fight top 5 ranked fighters, i feel like ive been asking for this for years, i really wish Haye would retire………Posted December 30, 2012 9:48 am
I say it again, Charr is a fat and useless bum who should not be in the same ring with Haye or Klitschko. What has he achieved? Nothing! Beating up out of shape journeymen. And the only reason he was in with Vitali, was cause he was a safe opponent who would not present a threat!Posted December 30, 2012 9:43 am
Charr looks like a Premo Carnera look alike.Posted December 30, 2012 9:23 am
Haye haters, apart from talking to much in the lead up to his fight with Vlad, you have to agree Haye is a good fighter. He keeps himself in shape and has power. Think the haters should give him a break. THe fights Haye competes in are always good to watch, minus the Vlad fight but it is difficult to fight these big guys and look impressive in winning or losing against them. Forget Hayes mouth and you will see a good fighter. I wish you would fight more however and stop talking about retirement.Posted December 30, 2012 9:22 am
Easy fight for Haye.Posted December 30, 2012 7:56 am
haye will embarrass this guy. Pulev and price are the most dangerous contenders right now.Posted December 30, 2012 7:47 am
Haye would easily beat Charr. Pulev, Povetkin, maybe Fury or Price. that would be really good opponents for Haye.these are also the guys lined up to fight Klitschko in 2013-2014 as they are earning it in the ring, unlike Haye. It's really up to Haye though. With talking alone, he won't get a fight with a Klit again I am afraidPosted December 30, 2012 6:51 am
Mike Dino
Charr had his chance and he failed. I was impressed that he actually came to fight though. Most K-Bros opponents freeze when they get in the ring with them. Charr's cut was bad, though I do believe that he should have been allowed to continue though. Unfortunately for him, he was well on his way of being stopped.Posted December 30, 2012 4:39 am
To fight Vitali, they had to be elected the Ukrainian parlament. They do box in there (check Youtube!), but Vitali, who observed the turmoil wearing a suit, didn't participate. He would have murdered dozens of guys. :-D
Winner gets vitali. Why notPosted December 30, 2012 3:20 am
And of course Bluesman has earned the right to say that by the stunning record he crafted at the very top end of the heavyweight division…..Posted December 30, 2012 3:16 am

The Kingslayer
Who ?Posted December 30, 2012 2:21 am
Haye is a great fighter… He's a good boxer, good puncher, clever, conditioned, very strong, fast hands and feet, power in both hands. Charr may beat Chisora, that remains to be seen. Chisora is the first young heavyweight Charr will face who can really fight. Charr will not beat Haye in a 100 years—but he's a real tough heavyweight who can punch so it will be a good fight while it lasts, just like Haye-Chisora was a good fight … Haye will never beat Wladimir, but he can do much better than his poor effort last time. The fight I would love to see is Haye vs Pulev.. In 2 or 3 years Pulev will be a great fighter—unfortunately he's a lot older than I thought he was.. With only 17 professional fights I expected him to be a lot younger … but he poses a lot of problems for anybody, including Wladimir Klitschko.Posted December 30, 2012 1:55 am
Charr, shut the hell up.Posted December 30, 2012 12:39 am
I bet there is no chance of two things,
1, unfortunate, that vitali will fight again
i am looking for charr-magoPosted December 30, 2012 12:23 am
I bet Haye would make target practice of Charr.Posted December 29, 2012 11:47 pm
I like what tark said but his chances. Shoot, itshard to make heads or tails of peoples "chances". Or "odds". But this wbc "world cup" is the first I've heard of it! Freaking stellar idea! I love it already. I got a weird feeling his charr guy is gonna smoke chisora and destroys the vaue of chisora's scalp. A cou'de grat on chisora's career.Posted December 29, 2012 10:19 pm
There are better HW matches out there but since they are not being made, why not? There are a good 15 plus guys out there who should be fighting each other so within that context, there is no reason why this particular fight shouldn't take place.Posted December 29, 2012 10:15 pm
Dead right Tark! NOW we will see just how small David Hayes balls are! This is EXACTLY the sort of fight – and 3-4 of them – that Haye needs to take to earn and prove he is worthy of a challenge. All the talk in the world doesn't mean he is, particularly not after he gutted out so horribly in the previous K-fight. I wonder what excuse the sycophants will come up with for Haye not taking this one?Posted December 29, 2012 10:01 pm
Charr is moving fast… He just had a fight… He just signed to fight Chisora… He just called out David Haye… He just announced that he will be competing in the WBC World Cup.
I love his spirit, ambition, enterprise, and pace of action… but not his chances.
However—Boxing needs more Manuel Charr's.Posted December 29, 2012 9:51 pm

Athletics: Lawrence Okoye's goal is to make NFL
BRITISH Athletics expects to know by the end of this month whether they have lost one of their brightest prospects, Lawrence Okoye, to America and the NFL.
Okoye, 21, is a potential discus Olympic champion and was regarded by former British head coach Charles van Commenee as an outstanding prospect.
But Okoye is currently in America and will have a second NFL trial in Dallas next weekend.
Okoye told Peter Eriksson, the new British head coach, of his plans before leaving the country and going through his first trial in Atlanta, Georgia.
The end of April, when the draft system starts, is D-Day for Okoye who was a disappointing 12th in the Olympics but is a medal chance for Britain at the World Championships this summer.
A British Athletics spokeswoman said: "Lawrence Okoye has communicated openly with Peter Eriksson and is providing regular updates as to his plans in relation to his 2013 athletics programme. As a member of the World Class Performance Programme, Okoye is in receipt of Lottery funding so therefore we will ensure we are in dialogue over any decisions taken relating to a possible switch to NFL."
At 6ft 6ins and 21st, Okoye is a man who NFL scouts believe could make a defensive end.
"I won't be officially signing anything or becoming a pro footballer until the end of April, but I have no reason to believe that it's not going to happen," said Okoye.
If Okoye does sign up he will have to miss this summer's athletics season, including the World Championships in Moscow in August. He gave up a promising rugby career to switch to athletics and the discus and considered going back to that sport after admitting he flopped at the London Olympics in which he was tipped to get a medal.
There is also a place at Oxford University on offer to study law for mutli-talented Okoye. His target at the moment is to return to the discus after a career in the NFL.
Eriksson, who is continuing the tough regime as laid down by Van Commenee, had Okoye down as a medallist for the 2016 Olympic Games. He only took up discus in 2010, but Okoye said on Twitter yesterday: "Just wanted to confirm that I have decided that I want to play American Football in the NFL."
Okoye, a European under-23 gold medallist, broke off from warm-weather discus training to go to the trial in Atlanta.
"I've always been a huge NFL fan," said Okoye. "It hurts that I finished 12th at the Olympics, but it's not the reason I am doing this. American Football has always been a dream of mine."
American Football has always been a dream of mine.
Sprinter Dwain Chambers tried to break into the NFL and had an unsuccessful try-out with the San Francisco 49ers.
He also had a trial with NFL Europe club Cologne and eventually got a professional contract with German side Hamburg Sea Devils six years ago before eventually coming back to athletics and running for Britain again.

It's that time of fear again! So if you've been missing the Crypt Keeper, here's a chance to improve your aim. But be warned: It'll be a fright to the finish. The cadaverous cut-up is your host for a 15-episode die-gest based on classic horror comics from back in the day and featuring a parade of characters who are variously merciless, clueless, topless and headless. Hank Azaria, Shelley Hack, Isaac Hayes, Richard Lewis, John Lithgow, Wayne Newton, Isabella Rossellini, Rita Rudner and Humphrey Bogart (you read that right) are among the stars. And vampires, mad doctors, killers, ghosts and adulterers are eager to come out and play. We could tell you more, but that would be wrong. You do know rot from wrong, don't you?

Carefully read conditions and every one of the terms of the mortgage before distributing the application form. Make certain that the lender's internet site is secure. It's critical that the website needs to have adequate protection characteristics to prevent any misuse of data while you will soon be necessary to publish your banking account and career precisely the website.
In comparison, an individual paycheck cash advance is just for a time until the payday. It requires to be paid back fully out of your next salary. It is a well known option even to stop an energy fee fee or to tackle more costly emergencies such as a check reversal that is likely. As quick cash lending organizations are not interested in your credit rating, they don't tele-track your financial records. A online cash advance's cost generally varies from $15 to $30 for each 100. In terms of yearly percentage price, these come out to be 780% APR and 390% APR.
Your cash advance mortgage online should not become more than one eighth of the monthly revenue. In case you buy $1500 each month and need money, a sensible lender should not produce your loan for a lot more than an eighth of the amount. Financing for $187.5 would be the biggest quantity you could perhaps take home so long as it comes within your state-of the restrictions of home. That sum will possess the fees attached with the ultimate benefit whole. Benefit time, the bigger the interest rate, the more you'll owe come. A primary lender should provide complete disclosure of volumes and the premiums about the real mortgage agreement. Read it thoroughly. It's very important the level of the actual mortgage is everything you requested rather than what your immediate lender is willing to offer.
Standard cash advances are available within 1-2 business days; but, if you need money within a few hours, contemplate cash advances provided by , cash advance that is online that is online payday loans, day loans, pay, no fax payday loans lenders. This type of mortgage gets the least variety of the shortest running time and also membership requirements. The funds are made available of obtaining the mortgage, within 24-hours.
You should be suitable for getting finances within this advance. The membership problems are that you need to be above age 18, you ought to have a mounted income source, a banking account that is checking should be maintained by you and you ought to be described as a person of US.
The quantity you are able to fetch in no fax payday loans stages from $80 to $1500. The reimbursement period for this advance extends from 1 to thirty days and is little. The amount needs to be repaid after getting your pay day loan help.
I could recall going school shopping with my brother. He'd walk through each store within the mall and get mental inventory of costs and clothing choices. 1 by 1, we would discover their cost and what everyone provides as he narrowed his search between alternatives he loved and just how much. Eventually he'd come up with three unique outlets which we would need to review. Before eventually picking his new wardrobe which regularly intended posts of apparel from each of the three remaining merchants, get more time perhaps also get one of these few points on. Searching online is just a little more easy, and cash improvements that are online need no fitting rooms.

Since Launching Last Summer, Amazon Hourly Employees Enrolling in Career Choice Program to Prepare for Careers in Game Design, Nursing and Accounting Amazon Increases Tuition Pre-Payment to $3,000 a year, up to $12,000 Over Four Years Business Wire SEATTLE -- May 22, 2013 Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) today announced it is increasing the amount it will pre-pay for hourly employees to pursue associate degrees or vocational certifications, as part of its Amazon Career Choice Program, an initiative designed to expand the choices available to its employees in their future careers, whether at Amazon or in another industry. Through the program, which launched in July 2012, Amazon will pre-pay an eligible employee's tuition at accredited schools up to $3,000 per year or up to $12,000 over four years. Unlike traditional tuition reimbursement programs, Amazon's Career Choice program exclusively funds education only in areas that are well-paying and in high demand according to sources like the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the company will fund those areas regardless of whether those skills are relevant to a career at Amazon. Since the program's launch, employees are pursuing degrees in game design and visual communications, nursing, IT programming and radiology, to name a few. Top chosen fields of study for Amazon employees are computer and information technology, health and sciences, and accounting. Jason Fitzgerald, a warehouse associate at Amazon's fulfillment center in New Castle, Delaware, has been employed with the company for more than nine years. Through the Career Choice Program, he has taken classes in architecture and is now planning to pursue a certification in visual communications and game design. He said, "I'm working toward a certification so I can further my career in an exciting, growing field. I like the program because it is attracting associates to the site who want to learn and get ahead." "Our goal is to help our employees succeed whether they choose to build their career at Amazon or in another industry," said Dave Clark, Amazon's vice president of worldwide operations and customer service. "We believe pre-paying our employee's tuition is a great first step to helping people pursue their aspirations as it eliminates one of the biggest barriers to going back to school--cost." The Amazon Career Choice Program builds on a series of innovations at Amazon's fulfillment centers. Amazon's high productivity allows the company to pay its fulfillment center employees 30 percent more than traditional physical retail store employees while still offering customers the lowest prices. Full-time, hourly employees at Amazon also receive company stock awards and a comprehensive benefits package.

Def Leppard's Phil Collen Gives Master Class at Performing Arts High School
Phil Collen recently stopped by an Orange County performing arts high school to deliver a master class.
Phil Collen recently stopped by an Orange County performing arts high school to deliver a master class.
Even though KISS finally was chosen for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year after many years of eligibility, some of the band's members, including singer/guitarist Paul Stanley, continue to voice disdain for the institution and its machinations.
Def Leppard singer Joe Elliot has no interest in being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Kiss and Def Leppard will join forces for a 40-date North American Summer 2014 tour.
Def Leppard and Kiss will join forces for a summer 2014 tour, in what is expected to be one of the year's biggest classic rock events of the year.
KISS and Def Leppard are calling a press conference for March 17 in Los Angeles to make a "major announcement."
Def Leppard's multi-platinum breakthrough album 'Pyromania' was released on Jan. 20, 1983.
Some British tabloids are saying that Def Leppard is going to sue the group One Direction for ripping them off. Listen to the choruses of these songs here and you tell us.
Def Leppard's Phil Collen on Manraze Project: 'There's No Restrictions and It's Wonderful'
Def Leppard has just released new concert video and album packages capturing highlights from the veteran rockers' Las Vegas residency this past spring during which they played their entire classic 1987 album Hysteria.
The only thing more awe inspiring than Rick Allen's physical recovery from a car accident that left him with one arm is the way that the Def Leppard drummer overcame immeasurable mental anguish in order to return to the stage on Aug. 16, 1986. Allen never allowed himself the time to roll around in the stink of self-pity. Today, he is trying to teach others -- including wounded war veterans -- how to overcome the obstacles along their path to recovery.
This past spring, Def Leppard thrilled Las Vegas audiences during a residency at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, where the band played its entire classic 1987 album Hysteria,

If the worst day of your life consisted of accidentally killing your girlfriend with an axe, chain-sawing your own arm off, and watching in horror as your closest friends were devoured by a zombified Nazi battalion, you'd have to assume that things couldn't get much worse. In Martin's case, that was only the beginning.
100min. Directed by Tommy Wirkola, 2014, U.S.A.
Action/Thriller starring Gerard Depardieu (Life of Pi, Green Card, Cyrano de Bergerac) and Elizabeth Hurley (Austin Powers series, Bedazzled, Mickey Blue Eyes). A story of revenge and redemption. When Viktor Lambert returns to Russia after 7 years in French prison, he is determined to uncover the truth and gain revenge for his son's death just 3 months earlier. He stops at nothing to protect his son's girlfriend who carries his baby and vows to bring down everyone responsible for his son's murder. Thrilling pacing, stunning locations and brutal violence in the tradition of action films like Clint Eastwood's "Gran Torino" and Sam Mendes' "Road to Perdition."
Directed by Philippe Martinez, 97min.,2014, Russia
Nippon Nights is a monthly series presenting different genres, styles and generations of Japanese Cinema to Bay Area audiences.
Join us for a discussion with Mr. Aaron Kerner (San Francisco State University Cinema Department Associate Professor) after the screening to discuss the world of Seijun Suzuki
"Reputedly one of Seijun Suzuki's finest works and unquestionably very stylish in its 'Scope framings (Jim Jarmusch copied a few shots from it in his Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai)"
-Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
A hit-man, with a fetish for sniffing boiling rice, fumbles his latest job, putting him into conflict with his treacherous wife, with a mysterious woman eager for death, and with the phantom-like hit-man known only as Number One.
Directed by Seijun Suzuki, 91min, 1967, Japan
Branded to Kill review – genuinely bizarre Japanese thriller
Seijun Suzuki's Branded to Kill is a very 1960s metaphysical thriller, a cult item treasured by connoisseurs as the kind of film that – for all its delirious craziness – could even be a truer product of Japan than the higher artefacts of Ozu and Kurosawa. It is an erotic and dreamlike pulp noir, and its disdain for any sort of conventional plot infuriated the director's employers at the Nikkatsu studio. Jô Shishido is Hanada, a hired killer with a sexual fetish for the smell of boiled rice; a bungled job brings him into mysterious contact with Misako (Anne Mari), a woman who hires him for three hits. He becomes obsessed with her, and finds himself in a duel with the legendary top killer, the No 1 (Kôji Nanbara). The obvious comparisons are with Melville's Le Samouraï or Godard's Pierrot le Fou – this film holds up against these perfectly well – with hints of John Boorman's Point Blank and Patrick McGoohan's The Prisoner. It is, however, closer to Luis Buñuel in its gleefully disquieting insistence on sudden horrific closeups: the glass eye removed from the skull, the bullet hole, the bleeding head in the toilet bowl. Where Godard had his jump-cut, Suzuki has his disorientating ellipses, his sudden dreamlike time-slips. Genuinely fascinating and bizarre.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

"One of the great cult films of all time." – Jeffery M. Anderson
Like a high school cafeteria replete with cliques, THE WARRIORS is a film divided into individual armies of the night. There are the Gramercy Riffs, The Rogues, the Turnbull AC's, and 17 other menacing street gangs scattered across New York City. But, most importantly, there are our titular heroes, The Warriors, a wild pack that hail from Coney Island. When a leader of the street gangs is murdered, the eponymous group is wrongly accused of committing the crime. Now on the run, The Warriors must fight their way home while each of the 20 gangs hunt them down.
Directed by the legendary Walter Hill, we're proud to present THE WARRIORS on 35mm.
Directed by Walter Hill, 92 min, USA, 1979
"Words can never do justice to the awe-inspiring, brain-eating weirdness of Sion Sono's Japanese dystopian hip-hop kung-fu musical Tokyo Tribe." – Bilge Ebiri, Vulture
Since the days of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, it seems the mark of any great filmmaker is his/her ability to constantly evolve, reinventing themselves at every turn. For nearly three decades, Sion Sono has been doing just that. His latest effort is set in a futuristic Japan, where territorial street gangs form opposing factions collectively known as the Tokyo Tribes. When one of the gang leaders breaks the fragile peace, it triggers a brutal street war for supremacy. Based on a popular Manga series and told almost entirely in rap verse, TOKYO TRIBE is an ingenious mash-up of Yakuza gang violence, martial arts action and hip-hop musical. In short, the movie is wall-to-wall madness.

Hi Everyone-
I am 18 weeks now and this is my first pregnancy so I am not really familiar with what to expect running through the pregnancy...
I wasn't sure if I needed to get a support belt at some point for running. I don't feel like I need one yet (barely have a bump), but just curious if you would recommend them later in the pregnancy or if it is simply an individual preference on comfort. Do they protect the baby in any way or is it more to help with comfort/back pain?

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
Marie was wonderful to work with. She made our wedding day so special. She coordinated everything so well and everything went so smoothly. Everyone had a wonderful time. It was a beautiful event. We have no complaints.
Our wedding ceremony was on the beach and the reception in the sunset rooms overlooking the beach. The event was perfect! Marie and her staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was set up as we wanted and even added some special touches to make it even better! The whole experience from planning to execution with Marie was stress free and enjoyable. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone!
We are honored to leave our excellent feedback for The DoubleTree Beach Resort at Reddington, FL. This was our destination wedding and reviews we're extremely important along with the resort's customer values. We made a great choice by choosing this resort and best of all we had the opportunity to work with Marie Molina who was truly an amazing person to work with. She took care of all my concerns and was always quick to respond. We had a vision for our dream wedding and Marie was more than willing to help out on our every need along with her coworkers.
Debbie who also had to reassure my fiancé that every need would be taken care of did a great job.
The customer was exceptional and clean. We literally supplied all the décor for our vision to come true but this would not have been possible without an amazing team.
From one bride to another I highly advice that you consider booking your wedding at The DoubleTree Beach Resort.
Top Notch customer service from Each staff member!
The event coordinators, Marie and Debbie, were fantastic. They provided service and special touches that I hadn't even dreamed of and they provided "Above and Beyond" fantastic service.
It is such a great facility I would recommend this facility to anyone that was having a beach wedding. Or even just to anyone that wanted a great stay on the beach.
We stayed in the resort for a few days, and all the employees there were super friendly and helpful. Everyone seemed so happy to be working there and some commented on what a great place it was to work. We had an incredibly perfect event. Thank you so much DoubleTree.
We booked our destination wedding here based on reviews I had read raving about their comprehensive wedding services and (mostly) about how amazing Marie Molina was to work with. They weren't exaggerating. I can't even begin to describe how wonderful it was working with Marie in the year approaching and on the day of our wedding. She brought such a calm to planning a destination wedding. The vendors that the Douhbletree works with are fantastic as well and their ceremony/reception package options made everything so easy. The professionalism and organization exhibited by Marie and the vendors was top notch.
The hotel itself was just as amazing. Numerous guests had delayed flights and difficulty getting to Florida but everyone said that when they got to the front desk to check in their stressed-out attitudes changed. Each and every staff member from the front desk to housekeeping to the bartenders had amazing attitudes that were infectious. Their food and drinks are delicious and the Tiki bar is so laid back I could just stay there all day just sitting in the sun. The Doubletree Beach Resort was wonderful through and through and i would 100% recommend it to anyone and everyone.
Marie was wonderful to work with. She made our wedding day so special. She coordinated everything so well and everything went so smoothly. Everyone had a wonderful time. We have no complaints.
We had a wonderful stay at Doubletree. They had great staff and the area was beautiful. Since they didn't have a wedding of there own on the day we got married, they allowed us to use the beach in front of the hotel instead of a public beach. That helped make our day perfect.
We loved working with Marie Molina & team at the Doubletree resort. She is very professional and great to work with. We are from Missouri so it was important to us to have the hotel coordinate the wedding day with the vendors. Marie and her staff were amazing, I cannot express that enough. She responds to email in a timely fashion and is very detailed oriented. Marie helped make our day so very special and perfect in every way!
Marie and her team made our destination wedding everything I dreamed it could be. She was always available to answer questions and assist with planning in anyway needed (much appreciated for an out-of-state bride). She made sure to take time out the afternoon before the wedding to go over all of the final details with us and make sure everything was set to make the day of easy breezy. The entire staff of the DoubleTree made our stay easy and relaxing, everything a destination wedding should be.
Marie Molina made our destination wedding possible. She was a joy to work with. She organized all of our wedding vendors, made appointments for us to meet with them, and coordinated all efforts for the weddings. She always responded promptly and was happy to help with everything. The food and wedding decor was great. The rest of the staff at the Doubletree was wonderful as well. Our guests raved about the service they received from everyone.
Fabulous place to go for a getaway, vacation, or a wedding like we did. Their service is amazing and I can not wait to return again!!
I absolutely loved everything this resort did for us. Marie, the wedding coordinator was an angel. She was there for me when ever I had a question either by email or in person. She was a hands on person who made sure we were completely happy. The food was awesome and the staff was super friendly. My family stayed at this hotel for the week and they loved everything about it. The breakfast buffet is great with a wonderful view of the beach while you eat.
My husband and I live in Ohio, but my family is from Puerto Rico and his is from Ohio. We wanted to do our wedding in a middle ground for both of our families. We did a search on the west coast of Florida and dedicated a trip to visit approximately 10 different venues. Without discussion, we narrowed it down to the Doubletree Beach Resort in North Redington. There, we met Marie Molina and we could not have asked for better person to help us with our wedding preparations. Marie took care of everything! We coordinated everything via email, phone and when the day got closer we visited to do our food tasting and coordination. The food was absolutely fantastic! Every single guest gave compliments on the food! One of our guest said that she had never seen a wedding with a chef who was doing steaks to order. Marie even worked with us to make sure our sides were vegan, so that we could cater to one of our guests. The experience and professionalism of the Doubletree could not be surpassed! Even the housekeeping staff made sure that everything was in-place on the day of the ceremony. Every night we spent there was wonderful and slept like babies! The pillows and beds were so comfortable we thought we were in our own home. We will definitely be back for our anniversary!
Marie and Kay were wonderful to work with- we live in Orlando so I sent countless emails to the both of them and they were quick with their responses which always put my mind at ease. We thought the staff was beyond friendly and our guests made the same comments. Since the wedding we have heard nothing but positive remarks about how great the food was to what a great time they all had. Overall, we HIGHLY recommend this venue our wedding was everything we wanted!
Marie Molina was wonderful. She helped me plan the wedding and took care of all the vendors as well. I would recommend this place to anyone. The staff at the doubletree is amazing as well, very nice and accomodating to what was needed.

As a region that continues to experience rapid development, new construction of homes, high rises and even hotels has resulted in a well-developed community with plenty of employment and entertainment options. And the major cultural, historical, and educational hub of Philadelphia is just minutes away.
Although it is home to the King of Prussia Mall, one of the largest malls in the country, and roughly 200 major companies, King of Prussia is surprisingly green — a comprehensive mass transit system keeps this area pedestrian-friendly, as well. And with businesses like AT&T, General Electric, Lockheed Martin, and MAACO in the area, the King of Prussia economy is thriving. Find your King of Prussia apartment today and be a part of this busy, dynamic community.

About me

He came to London in the 1980s to study footwear and established his couture label in 1986. He sold his share of the ready-to-wear business in 2001 and today he designs and produces bespoke hand-crafted shoes bearing the Jimmy Choo Couture label at his London base on Connaught Street. He is also Ambassador for Footwear Education at the London College of Fashion and a spokesperson for the British Council in their promotion of British Education to foreign students.
