in response to Joe SchorrThanks for the update Joe. Good to hear that development is nearing completion.
However.....I'd got the feeling more and more of the industry was going towards Lightroom and the number of new books on the market and training materials made me feel that perhaps I was missing something being an Aperture user - Yes the grass is always greener. So some weeks back I downloaded a trial of Lightroom and unfortunately I'm really enjoying using it. It's certainly much faster than Aperture on my 2GB Intel Core Duo iMac.
So I decided to wait until PMA before abandoning Aperture as "surely" I thought Apple would release some type of update by then.
So here we are PMA is underway and it would appear from your posting that you guys are not quite there yet.
Such a shame as I think many will have already jumped ship.

in response to Joe SchorrGood to know... My free trial of Lightroom is going to run out soon and my D300 is going to be quite sad having to go back to Photoshop CS1 Raw editor.

in response to tidysteveDearest tidysteve,
Did YOU invest over $50k in Apple products and countless hours adapting your workflow over the last last two years, in reliance on Apple's Aperture marketing demos and claims, only to be stymied by that same investment, never to see it perform as advertised?
I should have bought Apple's stock instead. My bad.
David Bogie Chq-1 Jan 31, 2008 10:12 AM
in response to Joe SchorrCool. This is the first time I've ever seen an official response from an Apple employee on these forums. Apple released a toxic upgrade, Quicktime 7.4, that has broken tens of thousands of FCP installations and crippled our ability to render in Adobe After Effects for more than 10 minutes. We'd like to hear an official response, too.
Sarge_ Jan 31, 2008 10:43 AM
in response to David Bogie Chq-1Well, if they were smart they'd offer real transparency and delivery deadlines, the way other businesses do for their clients.
Let me take a crack at a typical official response to your situation, David: "We're working on an update to your inquiry that will be really really great. You will love it. It will be released sometime in the future. Count on it. Thank you, that is all."
The otherwise near-complete opacity into future releases and fixes is received as arrogance by many, aloofness by others, and simple incompetence by more. In Aperture's case, if they were to just come out and say "we're going to support the D3, the GX100 the (insert camera here) by (insert date here)" they would ease a lot of tension. It's not like their competitors (Abode et al) are going to be caught off guard by them promising to support cameras that the competition has been supporting for months, so why the opacity?
The greatest human aversion is uncertainty, and by offering no transparency into such simple issues, they are cultivating tension with their customer base.
Sign-posting expectations, giving transparency (within reason) and delivering on expectations created goes a long way toward creating understanding.

PS - while I'm a bit of an arse in my replies, I've also done more than most to convert PC users and sell them on Apple's platform. I've bought - and pushed the purchase of - many thousands of dollars on Apple's behalf. In not just sitting here on my hands, happily waiting to be spoon-fed whatever comes along, whenever it might arrive. I'm also, I hope, pushing Apple to make some changes for the better. I'm not a thin-skinned individual, and I've come by that honestly.
Tom Aellis Jan 31, 2008 10:40 AM
in response to Sarge_I think a lot of peeps here know my handle and my heat with Aperture.
A great many of you told me how great it was for "their" workflow etc.....
My response was Wait.....
Now, I see so many of these members that were throwing bricks at me for letting out my disapointment with the product, and those I told to wait, it'll come, gripping after the guy, Joe, gave us what a lot of us were asking for. Just a word.
It think it's time for each one of us to at least let him come thru with his post and follow up with a release or we should just move on.
I'm pretty sure by now that Apple got the message.

in response to Sarge_Hey Sarge,
FYI - I saw this in the Lightroom forum...
"Yeah with the Apple Aperture team sitting on their backsides, there is time for LR v2 to get more polished...
They are very close to a mutiny over on the Aperture discussion boards..."
Mitch Aunger Jan 31, 2008 11:37 AM
in response to Merged Content 1I don't believe that a few people posting unhappiness in this forum constitutes a mutiny.
I for one (not that my vote counts for more than one vote) am quite happy with Aperture and am willing to wait for the next release.

Aperture...is going to become tightly integrated into the OS. Even though you can read RAW file on the latest camera models (currently a "plus" for Lightroom), you can not access your Lightroom images, in a fluid manner, from Mail, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iPhoto, Print dialogues, etc....and in Lightroom you can not go the reverse direction either.
Can you be more specific about that? I just dragged a photo straight from the Lightroom grid to iPhoto and it imported it. I do this kind of thing all the time. I can drag straight from the Lightroom grid to any Open dialog of any app that supports the file format. And I can drag images from anywhere into Lightroom and it will import them.
I wasn't even doing anything special for Lightroom, I was just doing what I expect to be possible between any two apps on the Mac with drag and drop, and it was doable.
Mitch Aunger Jan 31, 2008 12:26 PM
in response to Network 23Well, from the sound of it (i don't use LR), if you drag and image from LR to iPhoto and "import it", you now have 2 copies of that image. With Aperture and all the other applications, you only have 1 image. I can use an image that is managed by Aperture in iPhoto and not end up with duplicates all over my drive.
All Aperture images are known to the other applications... i can open iDVD and use the media navigator to view my Aperture images without having Aperture open. All the applications are just simply aware of all of my images.
That's what is meant by integration.
What you're doing is copy/paste and duplicating.

You are correct, and I agree there is value in that.
It does not, however, do anything to address the often-sluggish performance of Aperture, nor does it address why Apple can't include RAW support for important new cameras in a timely manner, where every other software provider CAN with apparent ease.
They need to reassess their programming and hardware tasking on the performance side, and produce RAW plist updates WITHOUT waiting months between major OS updates.
The latter, especially, is very easy to do, and they are felony stupid if they can't make that happen.
Mitch Aunger Jan 31, 2008 12:48 PM
in response to Sarge_"The latter, especially, is very easy to do, and they are felony stupid if they can't make that happen."
I am a programmer but i'm not a developer for the internals of OS X - and i dare not insult someone for something i know nothing about... if you are so knowledgeable and indeed know it is so darn simple, why don't you quit throwing stones and offer to help them instead of insulting them at every turn?
Proggie Jan 31, 2008 1:16 PM
in response to Mitch AungerI don't know how Lightroom does it, and I don't have the latest iLife apps so not sure if my thoughts are correct either, but I think that the iLife apps only use and are aware of the previews that Aperture generated. None of the apps as far as I know render the RAWs on the fly. With RAW being part of the OS, I don't see why the iApps can't render those RAWs on the fly so that you can benefit from the best possible image in all circumstances. There should still be an option to use the preview images, but I think certain projects (for example ordering a book through iPhoto) should utilize the best possible version, not a scaled down preview (and no, I don't want to generate previews at maximum quality/size). So hopefully the next version of Aperture/OS/iLife apps let us do things like this.
Back on topic, I appreciate Joe's message and eagerly await the next version of Aperture. I'm not jumping ship even though I find Aperture to be slower and missing some features. I think it's still much better than Lightroom overall and am very happy with it. Don't know how I lived without it
Also I held off buying my Canon 40D knowing that it was not supported, until the support came. I don't understand why a professional would jump the gun and invest in a new camera before it was supported in their workflow that worked with their existing gear. Sure you want to be on the cutting edge and want to provide better quality images to your customers by utilizing advanced new features of the new gear, but you're not going to lose a job just because you're behind in latest technology by 2 or 3 months. But maybe that's why I'm not a pro.
Sarge_ Jan 31, 2008 1:42 PM
in response to ProggieProggie,
Maybe you don't understand the root of Aperture, but the idea is that the actual RAW file is not manipulated per se, rather Aperture writes a set of instructions based on your manipulation of the file that serve as commands for 'how to present the file'. It thereby creates a 'preview', the quality of which you have some control over via Aperture preferences.
You can then output the 'instructions' to a formally exported file in any variety of formats, jpeg being the most common, again at the quality/size of your choosing. The only reason to do that is for purposes of emailing, uploading to the internet, etc.
If you are creating a photobook, I believe that can be done directly in Aperture but even so there may be differing options, I've never done that.
Regardless, the only way to keep things consistent would be for iPhoto to use the same set of manipulations used by Aperture. So iPhoto uses the previews, as a sort of proxy to that scenario.

Someone Else's Baby Lyrics
Someone Else's Baby Song Lyrics
(Perry Ford / Les Vandyke)
Someone else's baby
Someone else's eyes are blue
Someone else's baby
Someone else's five-foot-two
Oh, who's got a hold up
Nine carat gold love
I wonder who's in the loveseat
Who's got a heartbeat, like thunder
If I acted bad
I could steal his fairy queen
I know he'll be mad
But I can't resist the thought of being kissed
By someone else's baby
Someone else's special date
Someone else's baby
Someone else is kinda late
He'd better mind out
She's gonna find out I love her
This little fellah is gonna tell her
That someone else is me
Well, if I acted bad
I could steal his fairy queen
I know he'll be mad
But I can't resist the thought of being kissed
By someone else's baby
Someone else's special date
Someone else's baby
Someone else is kinda late
Oh, he'd better mind out
She's gonna find out I love her
This little fellow is gonna tell her
That someone else is me

Article Summary
Let's say you had a sweet dessert that you wanted to market specifically to adults. Now to spice things up, let's say you're also a Scooby Doo villain and can't stop wringing your hands over all the "meddling kids" who are going to ruin your campaign trying to steal delicious treats from your intended audience. Well, what can you do about it? Make a vending machine that detects the age of its users and tells any approaching children to get lost? Apparently yes, as Kraft Foods has introduced a new machine that scans a person's face to determine their age and dispenses free samples of their Jell-O Temptations dessert only to adults.

Bruins-Red Wings: A Look Back in Photos
Many people thought the Bruins couldn't have gotten a worse first round matchup than the Detroit Red Wings. It was expected that much like they did in the regular season, the Red Wings speed and skillset would be enough to give the Bruins fits. That surely was not the case.
After a heart breaking loss in Game 1, the Bruins fired off four straight victories to send the Red Wings home packing in five games. The Bruins now find themselves with a second round date with their longtime rival, Montreal Canadiens.
Before we get to Montreal, let's take a look back at the Bruins-Red Wings Atlantic Division Semifinal series. Next
Game 1: Matt Bartkowski and Kevan Miller out, Andrej Meszaros and Corey Potter in
In the days leading to Game 1 of their Atlantic Division Semifinal series against the Red Wings, the flu bug was finding its way through the Bruins locker room. With defensemen Matt Bartkowski and Kevan Miller unable to suit up for Game 1 due to the bug, Andrej Meszaros and Corey Potter got the call for the Bruins.
Potter (16:57) and Meszaros (19:40) both saw key minutes on the Bruins' blue-line, both five-on-five and on the penalty kill. The two Bruins trade deadline additions were key factors in what was an absolute defensive battle between the two Atlantic Division rivals.
The contest was Potter's first career National Hockey League playoff game.
"Yeah, it was super exciting," Potter said of his first career playoff game. "I was thinking about it all day, couldn't sleep. It was exactly what I expected, high intensity and it was really close out there. Unfortunately we couldn't get that win." Next
Game 1: Milan Lucic spears Danny DeKeyser; fined $5,000
With rookie defensemen Danny DeKeyser skating away from the play at the end of the second period of Game 1, Milan Lucic came up from behind DeKeyser, spearing him between the legs with his stick. Lucic was not penalized on the play.
Lucic was fined $5,000 for his actions.
"I don't want to say it was too much frustration. It was kind of a heat of the moment thing where you're not thinking when you do something like that," Lucic stated. "I've been in the years seven years now, and I think I've only done that three times. I don't know why I did that." Next
Game 1: Pavel Datsyuk propels Red Wings to Game 1 victory
He's one of the most exciting players in the game, and he showed it in Game 1, scoring the lone goal of the game with just over three minutes to go in regulation. Pavel Datsyuk used his magic to pull the puck onto his stick, skate into the Bruins zone and rip his first goal of the series past Tuukka Rask.
The game was an absolute defensive battle until Datsyuk's third period tally. With the way things were developing throughout the game, it looked like one goal would be enough to secure victory in Game 1. Unfortunately for the Bruins, the one goal came off of Datsyuk's stick.
Datsyuk's goal came just moments after Milan Lucic's tip of a Jarome Iginla shot trickled just wide of the Red Wings net after goalie Jimmy Howard was able to get enough glove on it.
"It was pretty lucky, Lucic stuck his stick out and got a lot on it, and it just sort of spun (off) my glove and I was just able to get enough of it," said Howard. Next
Game 2: Justin Florek starts Game 2 off with a bang
Heading into Game 2 trailing their best-of-seven series with the Red Wings 1-0, the Bruins knew they couldn't drop the ball to give the Red Wings a 2-0 series lead, heading home for Game 3. Thanks to a fast start from rookie Justin Florek, the Bruins were able to avoid that.
Inserted into the lineup due to a Chris Kelly back injury, Florek scored his first career playoff goal and more importantly the Bruins first goal of the series.
With the puck trickling down the ice into the Red Wings zone, Howard got rather aggressive, coming out of his net to play the puck. Howard tried to clear the puck out of the zone, via the boards, but instead the puck took a favorable bounce for the Bruins and Florek was left with an open net and the puck on his stick.
"Ah you know, to play it, yeah I thought he was and I just tried to read him," said Florek in regards to Howard coming out to play the puck. "It was a lucky bounce; think it hit the defenseman and right to my stick. So it was the right spot at the right time I guess." Next
Game 2: Brendan Smith gets tough with Zdeno Chara
In Game 2 the Red Wings tried a different style of hockey, a style they're not accustomed to as they tried to get physical with the Bruins. At the end of the second period of Game 2, Red Wings defenseman Brendan Smith got in the face of Bruins Captain Zdeno Chara, a move that wasn't too smart by the 6-foot-2 Smith.
Just like Bruins fans, Chara was amused by Smith's act of courage, laughing at the older brother of Bruins' forward Reilly Smith.
"He wouldn't be the first guy I'd choose in the NHL to go against," Reilly said of his brothers choice to go after Chara. "He should probably think twice next time." Next
Game 2: Bruins tie series at one
The Bruins got goals from four different players, including power play tallies from Reilly Smith and Zdeno Chara to take down the Red Wings 4-1, tying their best-of-seven series with the Red Wings at one. Tuukka Rask made 25 saves for his first win of the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The Red Wings got away from their game in Game 2 and it cost them with two power play goals from the Bruins. The B's were all over the Red Wings from start to finish. Their play in Game 2 was a sign of things to come.
"I thought that for sure we capitalized on our opportunities," Chara said, "and it makes a big difference in the game when you score on your power plays and you're able to kill the penalties."
The Bruins killed off all four Red Wings power plays in Game 2. Next
Game 3: Jordan Caron notches first career playoff goal
Since the Bruins used their first round selection in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft to select Jordan Caron, the forward hasn't come anywhere close to meeting the expectations that come with being a first round draft pick.
Filling in for an injured Daniel Paille, Caron saw some time on the Bruins fourth line in the Bruins' series against Detroit.
In the Bruins first two games against the Detroit Red Wings, Caron was solid. He was using his big body to win puck battles and it seemed like he had a bit of a fire under him to prove his worth.
In Game 3, Caron was able to do something with that fire, and do something in a big way. Caron used his speed and intelligence to score his first career playoff goal, extending the Bruins lead to two at the time and helping the Bruins take a 2-1 series lead over the Red Wings.
It was the perfect way for Caron to help people try and forget about his struggles in Boston.
"I think we went on the ice and I saw Thorty [Shawn Thornton] going wide and I looked left and there was no one, so I knew we had a two-on-one," said Caron. "Thorty made a nice backhand toe drag to put it on net, so it was a nice shot by Thorty and the rebound came into the slot and I was just trying to get it in"
Game 3- Matt Bartkowski returns from flu
After missing Games 1 and 2 in Boston, Matt Bartkowski returned to the Bruins' lineup for Game 3. Bartkowski logged 18:34 of ice time, registering two hits. Bartkowski was back to his normal self, helping the Bruins blank the Red Wings 3-0.
Bartkowski remained in the lineup for Game 4 and 5, and just like in Game 3 was a solid contributor to the Bruins blue-line Next
Game 3: Rask shutouts Red Wings; Bruins take series lead
The Bruins came out in Game 3 and made a statement, letting the Red Wings know that the team from the "Motor City" had to be better if they wanted to have any shot in this series. Tuukka Rask stopped 23 easy shots for his fourth career playoff shutout and for the first time in the series, the Bruins had a series lead.
Much of Rask's easy night was due to the Bruins sticking to their gameplan, clogging the shooting lanes and keeping the Wings' shots to the outside. Any time a d-core is able to do that, a goalie's life is an easy one.
"Yeah it's really good team defense. I don't think we've given them that many scoring chances," said Rask. "Today [Game 3] I think they had four shots for a long time in the game. You know they had the power plays and had a couple of shots, they got the momentum there, but we've been limiting them to a few chances" Next
Game 4: Henrik Zetterberg returns for Red Wings
Before the series started, Red Wings Captain Henrik Zetterberg said he wouldn't be ready until the second round, should his Wings make it that far. With the Red Wings looking to avoid falling into a 3-1 series hole, the "second round" came a bit early for Zetterberg and the Red Wings.
The Wings' captain was inserted back into the lineup in Game 4, playing on the Wings' top line, Zetterberg saw 19:34 of ice time in his first game since February.
Zetterberg's return gave the Red Wings a boost, but not a big enough one as the Wings would end up dropping Game 4 in overtime. Next
Game 4: Howard misses Game 4, Gustavsson starts
As the Red Wings got one familiar face back into their lineup, they lost another. Goalie Jimmy Howard was a late scratch for Game 4 with the "flu." Backup goalie Jonas Gustavsson got the start for the Red Wings and played very well. Gustavsson stopped 37 of 40 shots and certainly gave the Red Wings a chance to tie the series up at two.
"You always try to be ready and you have to prepare like you're playing," said Gustavsson. "especially in the playoffs, that's (preparing to play) not hard to do, I was preparing like any other playoff game even before I got (the word)."
Little did anyone know that Game 3 would be the last we would see of Howard in the series. Next
Game 4: Lucic ties Game 4 with early third period goal
Thanks to a first period goal by NiklasKronwall and Pavel Datsyuk's second goal of the series in the second period of Game 4, the Red Wings jumped out to a 2-0 lead on home ice. A goal by Torey Krug midway through the second set the stage for a highly entertaining third period.
Just 1:15 into the third, Milan Lucic burried home a pretty feed from Carl Soderberg to tie the game at two, and completely sway momentum in the Bruins favor. The goal by Lucic came at the perfect time as the Bruins carried play throughout the remainder of the period and into overtime where they would eventually find the game winner.
"You know, you want to get better as the series goes on and we were able to do that in the third period as a line," stated Lucic. Next
Game 4: Jarome Iginla wins Game 4 in overtime
After Milan Lucic's third period tally knotted things at two, the Bruins and Red Wings remained scoreless throughout the rest of the third period, sending the two Original Six rivals to overtime for the first time in the series.
Both teams had their chances to put the game away, but ultimately it was Jarome Iginla and the Bruins who were able to find the back of the net first.
Iginla was able to tip in a Dougie Hamilton point shot to give the Bruins their third straight win in the series and a chance to end things on Saturday in Boston.
"I think Looch was already in front of the net, battling with one of their guys," Iginla said about his OT winner. "Dougie just shot it and I was trying to get a stick on it, just tip it, and it went right past Looch and their guy battling. So it was a fortunate goal, a fortunate bounce, an ugly one, but that seems like how a lot of those are in OT." Next
Game 5: Loui Eriksson scores first goal of series; gives Bruins early Game 5 lead
Entering Game 5, the Bruins knew getting the last win would be the most difficult one to get. Thanks to Loui Eriksson's first goal of the series, and first playoff goal since May of 2008, the Bruins got off to a fast start in Game 5.
Despite allowing the Red Wings to tie the game in the second period, the Bruins fed off of the momentum created from Eriksson's tally, ultimately winning Game 5, 4-2 and moving on to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Experiencing playoff hockey for the first time since 2008, Eriksson is certainly enjoying playoff hockey in Boston.
"Yeah, it was definitely a nice feeling to score a goal and get the win for sure," said Eriksson.
"I thought they did a good job, they are a tough team to play against but we managed it good and got the four wins. Now we're going to play against Montreal and it is going to be good." Next
Game 5: Chara and Lucic extend Bruins lead with timely goals
After Pavel Datsyuk tied Game 5 at one, in the middle of the second, the Bruins got two timely goals which proved to be enough to wrap up the series in Boston. Zdeno Chara's power play goal with under a minute to go in the second, followed by Milan Lucic's third of the series 4:27 into the third period were huge, killing any potential momentum Detroit got from Datsyuk's goal.
"Yeah, the second one was huge," said Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask. "They tied the game up and then we were kind of down, but then got the momentum right back and three seconds left in the period, so it was huge and then we got that insurance from Looch, so great effort." Next
Bruins win Game 5, eliminate Red Wings, set up second round date with Habs
Thanks to their 4-2 victory in Game 5, the Bruins sent the Wings home for the summer a bit earlier than many were predicting. The Bruins used timely goal scoring, tremendous defense and solid special teams' play to earn themselves the series victory.
The Bruins will yet again find themselves squared up against a familiar opponent in round two as they will take on the Montreal Canadiens in the second round with a Eastern Conference Finals berth on the line.
The Canadiens punched their ticket into the second round after sweeping the Tampa Bay Lightning in four games.
"It will definitely be fun. It is going to be tough, they are a good team and they won all their four games there," said forward Loui Eriksson. "So I just hope to get some rest here and try to after we can start focusing on that but it is definitely going to be a tough challenge." Back to the beginning

What's New 27 June 2015
I added a blog post with thoughts on my dissertation progress through chapter 4 and updated some of my other dissertation posts.
I retired in November 2011 as a U.S. Navy Captain Engineering Duty Officer. Engineering Duty Officers (EDs) are the U.S. Navy's technical leaders who employ foundational knowledge in many disciplines outside of engineering to be effective leaders of technical organizations.
I believe many junior people in organizations have little insight into the demands of senior leadership positions and are not exposed to sources of the knowledge they will need while they are building their technical expertise. This puts them in the position of having to learn as senior leaders when they have very limited time to gain new knowledge and skills. I found this personally frustrating and have used this website to try to do something about it. My latest attempt at creating a list of skill categories applicable to senior leaders is below:
Brief Overview of the site
Do let me know if you have questions or suggestions for improvement. If you do, please provide them in the area for comments at the end of posts so others can see the comments too. I receive an email that alerts me any time someone makes a comment on the site. If you leave your email address in the comment, I will send the feedback directly to you since I always wonder what a blog/article author thinks about my comments.
Getting started
My suggestion is to look at what's new first, then the last few blog posts in the area titled "Ralph Soule Blog," and finally move to the file area, especially the Junior Engineering Duty Officer Guides directory.

Aww cute :3

Pleas pleas contine pleas
| Guest chapter 13 . 5/24/2014
I like this story so, please update soon!
| fanfiction lover 228 chapter 13 . 12/8/2013
Okay so I love your story and would like for you to continue and the next chapter that you will write I know will be awsome can.t wait to read the next chapter see ya soon )
| Lokiitama chapter 1 . 9/27/2013
Salve !
I am really happy you decided to continue the story ( Yes, I just saw that yesterday *facepalm* ), and see ? Look at the few reviews you already had. You made them sad or angry, and now, with just a little 'sorry' and a brand new thirteen chapter, you lift their mood up !
And to lift yours, I decided I would review each chapter I'll read from you. Promise. I can be late - just like now - because my e-mail box decided to troll me, but be sure I WILL put a review. Starting now.
Even though I already red this 12 chapters.
I love the way you describe Namie 'Very useful, but not loyal', it made me grin :D You juste imagine Namie so well like this. You can almost think of something like she does a really good job for a long, long time, and during her spare time, except for drooling on her brother, she's planning something big 'bout Izaya. But Izaya know that very well because... well he's Izaya, what else ?
If we had to integrate that in this story, it could work for Namie, though : Izaya, too distracted by the 'nuisance' - more like danger - that Shizuo is to his 'sanity' - or what's left of it -, and then, during another stormy night/day, Namie attacks !
Oh, by the way, I think it's 'ootoro', not 'ootori' !
See you in the next chapter o/
| Gabbygirl1234 chapter 13 . 9/20/2013
Write more please !
| MusicIsaDrug18 chapter 13 . 7/28/2013
Uhh. it's getting more and more interesting!
| Tanto Storm chapter 13 . 6/28/2013
As unpredictable (to Izaya) as always. Great job! I'm glad you've decided to continue with this. I'm enjoying it! (Why else would I have followed it?) Keep up the great work! XD
| Guest chapter 13 . 6/26/2013
thanks for updating
| Lavi-Lee chapter 13 . 6/26/2013
im glad you're writing this again! :D
| Rai Rai Blue chapter 13 . 6/25/2013
Dear Chiakix,
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CONTINUING THIS STORY. When you said that you were discontinuing this story. I actually became angry. I may have not seen it for a while but when I thought this was updated, I was so excited. I read the previous chapter and once again I was caught up within this story. You are a good writer. I didn't understand why you would stop. I understand that you had an idea for this fic at the beginning and it has changed which stories do. My original ideas for my own stories are never that way at the end. Stories evolve as you write or think about it.
This chapter was what I expected when you disappeared. I really wanted to see what would happen between the two. I didn't understand "cleaner" though. I didn't know if that is what they call a washer and dryer in Japan. It was peculiar. Please continue writing and if possible update soon. I really want to see the end. Till next time.
| Lokiitama chapter 13 . 6/24/2013
Please delete it.
Delete your story.
This is not a raging review or anything. I know I'm being rude and all, but I think this has to be said.
You've got 13 chapters, 45, 700 words, 75 reviews, 45 favorites, and 76 followers. Which means that during these thirteen chapters, seventy five people from all around the world - I'm sure of it, look, I'm from Belgium - enjoyed reading your story, and forty five were complete fans ! I am one of these readers. Sure, I haven't put Love Like A Storm in my alerts, because I was too lazy to do it. Sure, I also am a terrible reader for not leaving any comment - and I apologize for that. Sure, your story isn't the most red of all times, nor most popular. But it is already quite something to have 75 humans being wanting to follow it.
Speaking of me, now : Not only I'm a terrible reader, but I'm also a terrible author. See ? I haven't updated some of my stories in a year ! But I still haven't forgotten to do it - yes, maybe some times.
Two months ? Bleh, it's nothing, darling ;)
Okay, maybe you've a little bit forgotten about what was going to happen. But let your imagination run wild ! Re-read your oh-so-lovely chapters - and it's no sarcasm here, really - and re-think about how to end your story !
Do writers publishing tomes just dropped them off in the middle, or more likely drop them off at DAT CLIFFHANGER ? Just when everything is about to crash down to an end, or to a big decision. I don't think they do !
At least, either delete your story, because it'll hurt people who'll read it afterneath, Re-read it to have the idea and continue, or pass it to someone else. Just... don't break too much hopes.
Sure, you're shy, and you're doubting yourself. So does everyone. Everyone have a mask on. Maybe some masks are more glued to their personality then others, like you and me, others which tends to stutter and have no faith in them.
But I think every writer is that way, the more opened to socialness are actors, or commons people that you forget because your paths just crossed in your cafeteria's toilets, the ones that are more introverted find other ways to express their feelings.
Like writers.
And you, my dear lady, are a writer. And a good one at that ;)
You wouldn't have wrote thirteen freaking chapters if you didn't like writing ! You wouldn't be on fanfiction ! It's alright to think that it's no good - I do it all the time -, you - we - are just perfectionists. It's alright, see ? Hell, when I began on fanfiction, I re-read thousands times my chapters to see if there was any errors. Now, when I re-read them, I found that horrible !
But you don't PUBLISH stories for yourself ! You publish them for outstanders. People that'll give you reviews. You have to think like this, see ? If they didn't really like your writing-style or what's going on in your stories, they wouldn't leave a single review - except for haters. Readers are selfish, usually. I am. They don't usually think about putting a review, because they're too lazy or whatever.
A proof ? You only get cruels 'Story Follower :D' in your e-mail box, usually. Even more ! When someone Favorite your story, you, follow your story and you but don't leave a single 'I loved it :D' or 'It was nice ! :3'
Cold and cruel is the definition of readers.
I may have jumped lines while reading your AN, but it's 3 A.M., I'll excuse myself.
I don't like your last sentence in here. "Thank you for keeping up with this story ! I'm honored to have your read it".
It leaves a bad tastes in the mouth, as if... as if you had mocked us...
So I'll repeat. Ask someone to make you a summary of what happened 'till now, or re-read your stories to find the end once again. In extreme cases, pass it to someone, or delete it.
BUT DO NOT DISCONTINUE IT. That's cruel.
See ya around ;)
Ciao ciao
P.S. : Don't be too offended, I tend to be really rude when talking in English :S I deeply apologize for this *bows*
| KuroiSpade chapter 13 . 6/22/2013
... why? why? WQAQW it's good! don't doubt yourself, you should've continued it! QAQ T_T why..?
| FujoShizaya chapter 13 . 6/21/2013
(; _ ; ) could you at least make one chapter which would end this all? I think we deserve it so sorry if I'm being too mean but there is so many writers that are writing good stuff that I fall in love with and then one day there is just nothing. The writer has forgotten to write, forgotten the story, forgotten the site and stuff. They got bored or just wanted to stop writing. I too love to write, I think I'm not good, but hey, no one is perfect. We all make mistakes but still other people enjoy the writings. That's why even if I don't like my still on-going fictions I'm going to end them even if I don't remember how I was planning them, but I think the readers deserve the end. Good or bad, rushed or not. But please (; _ ; ) give us the end. Don't say you will drop it.


text:
Anglo-Saxons, myself included prior to moving here, tend to dismiss the French lackadaisical attitude toward their elite's personal lives as being culturally ingrained. That may be true, but it's a phenomenon that was brought about by strict law as a result of unfortunate history. In the wake of World War II, during which being outed as a Jew meant a trip to the gas chamber, people's personal lives became off-limits. Now, the same law that emerged from the Holocaust is used by celebrities to sue tabloids that publish photos or information related to their love lives without permission. Some stars even hire photographers to take such photos so they can then turn a profit. Still, there's a deep, expressed disgust here for people who blabber about someone's personal faults or private life. In most cases, it's not a bad thing, but it often means that people are loath to point out when private behavior has crossed over into the public sphere and become problematic.
This same respect for privacy has been used to sweep nonsense under the rug to the point of promoting people with stunning pathologies into top-level positions. Upon hearing that a former top political figure had perpetrated a sex crime, one media boss said it was obvious someone was out for revenge against the poor perpetrator since the interior minister -- being in charge of police -- would have otherwise just erased the incident from the books as though it had never happened.
Ecology Minister Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet expressed concern this week that the DSK incident would put France in a bad light. It's not as if America is devoid of "great seducers" -- Bill Clinton being the obvious one that comes to mind -- but France takes it to a whole other level of permissiveness, arguably allowing far too much lenience under the guise of "respect for privacy." For example, in a 2008 Gala Magazine article, DSK's wife, journalist Anne Sinclair, was asked whether her husband's reputation as a seducer scared her. "On the contrary, it pleases me," she replied. "I understand he's a seducer. He seduced me! And that doesn't scare me, we know each other well."
But in the paragraph just above, the article explained how DSK's "young university economics students were regularly warned of the tastes of the mayor of Sarcelles for alcove adventures." As a professor at an elite French university myself, I'd fully expect to be shown the door if I ever started engaging in "alcove stories" with students, rather than have it dismissed as some kind of personal quirk. That right there is exactly where the private sphere ends and the professional and public spheres begin. I certainly wouldn't expect the president of France to promote me to be the head of a world governing body given that kind of propensity for inappropriate behavior.
Not that this hands-off approach to the personal sphere is taken when a spirited public defense is called for. On the contrary: Rather than just taking a wait-and-see, "no comment," "it's his personal life" or "I have no idea" approach, elites from all sides, and with very few exceptions, are manifesting either a deep cognitive dissonance or self-preservation in the event that the behind they are kissing makes its way back across the Atlantic and into a position that could affect them. DSK's biographer, Michael Taubmann, said that "a seducer seeks to seduce and not to force," so therefore DSK "doesn't have the profile of a rapist." DSK supporter and former presidential candidate Segolene Royale is pleading for people to not add to the crisis.
Far-right Front National leader Marine Le Pen, who has never until now enjoyed enough power to have to bother kissing anyone's behind, declared to "have not been surprised" and "not fallen off my chair" at the DSK news.
Parti Radical advisor Dominique Paille hinted at a possible setup, or DSK "slipping on a banana peel." The idea has since been echoed by Socialist Party members and commenters on French websites. It's also the most prevalent comment I've heard from people in the streets of Paris. Not to say that the details of the case as they've currently been laid out favor a conspiracy theory. But the French equate convoluted complexity with a high level of intelligence. That a man of such prominence could simply get caught with his pants down isn't the first likelihood that comes to the mind of an "intelligent" Frenchman. Occam's razor is reserved for Anglo-Saxon simpletons. So I've been regaled with various theories related to the possible perpetrators: the Greeks upon whom DSK was just about to foist deep austerity through the IMF; Nicolas Sarkozy; DSK's potential opponents for the Socialist Party presidential ticket within his own party; the Freemasons; the Illuminati; the "globalists"; the Bilderbergs ...
If this incident had happened here in France rather than in the USA, I guarantee that we wouldn't be hearing about it at all. If there's something the French ought to ponder, it's that.

Miller: One of Cutler's best games as a Bear
Miller: One of Cutler's best games as a Bear
October 10, 2013, 11:30 pm
John Paschall
For the second game in a row, Jay Cutler did not throw an interception. But this time, Chicago was able to find a way to win over a struggling Giants team.
Former Bears quarterback Jim Miller said after the game that he thought it was one of Cutler's best performances as a Bear.
"I know we are going to temper our enthusiasm because it's an 0-5 Giants team, but, literally, that's what you need, that type of play week in and week out from your quarterback," Miller said.
Check out what else Miller and the rest of the panel had to say about Cutler's performance in the video above.

Vegan, OR NOT???Posted on 03 / 05 / 2015
When Jing Ping opened a few years ago I was delighted to finally have a veg thai restaurant in Taipei, because I sometimes really crave Thai food. I took their word that it was all vegan (including the fake meat) and promoted their restaurant on my blog.
So I was a bit concerned to see that it's been changed to "vegetarian" on Happycow, and to hear vegan Taiwanese friends describe it as "mostly vegan", especially after they again told me that their food is vegan. So as the Happycow Ambassador for Taipei, and because I still recommend them on my blog and am writing a vegan travel guide to Taiwan I thought I'd try to figure it out.
So I visited twice, once when they were open and once when they were standing around waiting to open, and despite being as polite as possible was met with the same cold dismissal: "Our fake meat is all vegan; no more questions please." Of course this *could* in theory be true, but 99% of vegetarian restaurants in Taiwan insist that their fake meat is vegan, while 99% of fake meat in Taiwan contains dairy, (battery hen) eggs and often real meat. (Loving Huts are a notable exception, and most truly vegan restaurants use their products, if they use fake meat at all.) Jing Ping also uses fake fish, chicken and ham, which are the most likely to contain animal products (to closer mimic the flavour and texture of meat).
Vegetarians ok with this should get a reasonable meal, which the previous reviewer accurately described as "Chinese Thai fusion" - perfectly enjoyable but might leave those craving Thai flavours a little unsatisfied, especially given the high price tag. By far the best and most authentic Thai meal I've had in Taiwan was a red curry from Mianto, near Daan Park. Also, for anyone living here, the iVegan supermarket sells good Thai and other international ingredients.
Cons: Dubious "All vegan" claim, esp fake meat, Expensive

Alan Taylor, Writer / / Sport
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini today played down his latest confrontation with controversial striker Mario Balotelli.
Mancini was yesterday photographed grappling with his fellow Italian in a training ground bust-up, but the City boss insists the matter was not serious.
Mancini, speaking ahead of this weekend's FA Cup third-round clash with Watford, said: "I think the photos show the worst of what happened. It was nothing special. There was no fight, this was not true."
The incident occurred after a bad tackle by Balotelli on Scott Sinclair during a training match.
Mancini said: "We were playing a game and Mario kicked his team-mate. I said to him, 'Go inside, leave the pitch'. He said no and I took his shirt and pushed him out of the pitch. This is what really happened, nothing special."
When asked if he lost his temper, Mancini said: "No, no. For two seconds, yes – during three or four seconds because he didn't want to leave the pitch. He can't do this against no-one, but then it was finished."
The clash is one of a number of controversies to have involved 22-year-old Balotelli since he joined the club in 2010, but Mancini, who has given the striker numerous chances, insists his patience has not yet run out.
He said: "No, I don't change my thoughts for this. I will give him another 100 chances if possible, if I think he can change."

Eddy Duquenne
CEO, Kinepolis Group
Interview By Phil Contrino
Eddy Duquenne took over as CEO of Belgian exhibitor Kinepolis following a successful spell as CEO of Sunparks. Once installed, Duquenne prioritized a new organizational structure in managing cinemas and promoted direct marketing techniques to better understand consumers.
BoxOffice recently spoke with Duquenne to learn about his strategy in making the most of an exhibition chain in a difficult European market.
What were some of the first things you discovered when you transitioned into the exhibition business?
Coming out of the tourism industry, I was amazed by how everyone was talking in terms of tickets and not in terms of customers. When I [became CEO], we immediately set up sales and marketing departments with a focus on introducing direct-marketing techniques. In Europe we have a population growing grayer, so you have less and less youngsters, and I would ask myself about the long-term evolution of cinema, which is clearly not a growth business when paired with the demographics of a population growing grayer.
What was the strategy behind reaching out to consumers directly?
Could we increase frequency knowing the preferences and the taste of each individual customer? For that reason we started introducing CRM techniques, customer-relationship management, and we started pushing online ticket selling and ticket selling through automatic ticket machines. That way you have a digital moment with your customer so you can start identifying who your customer is.
On average we sell 20 million tickets at Kinepolis; we have about 5.5 million unique customers and we have e-mail addresses for 2.4 million of them. [We track] based on their behavior-what they're buying, when they come to the movies, who they come to the movies with. For instance, a transaction with two adults and two children for Frozen on a Sunday afternoon or an individual ticket for Wolf of Wall Street on Friday night can be the same customer but in different circumstances, so we started looking at why [people] come to the movies-which genres they like, which directors, which cast? And based on that, we have been building algorithms that take those three elements into account and are now trying to push new content.
How did you go about restructuring the company's operations?
We have 23 theaters, of which we operate 22 ourselves, and we came to a new organizational structure where we created budget ownership, and now we have someone responsible for box office, someone responsible for in-theater sales, for experience-meaning the cleaning, infrastructure, projection, sound and security-and someone responsible for business to business. On top of that structure we have the theater manager.
We introduced a new management reporting tool where we only highlight those revenues and costs that each of them can have an impact on. We benchmark between the different budget owners throughout the cinemas and find there's always someone who is doing better. Based on their approach, we try to lower our break-even point from year to year and we incentivize them with a bonus system. We try to lower our break-even point by making profit plans based on 5 percent less tickets but resulting in the same bottom line.
What is the role of NATO and CinemaCon for your business?
The basis of our business is simple: we sell a ticket, a bucket of popcorn, and a Coke. But in general it's a difficult business, because there are a lot of elements and trends in the environment-macroeconomic trends, trends in taste, demographic evolutions, Hollywood focusing on the world market rather than on continents, weather impacts in the short term-and it's not always that obvious to know what exactly is happening and what we should anticipate.
And the comparables are difficult in our industry as well, because the product we have from season to season and year to year is always different. That's why it's good to share with others and to understand how they feel and how they see what's happening.
We see that a strong organization like NATO makes sure all the different aspects and trends in the business are covered very well, so it's a huge source of information. And with CinemaCon you can [connect] with a lot of colleagues from the industry and with more and more representatives coming from Asia, Russia, and South America, so you can speak with them. It's an opportunity to meet with the number one's of the majors as well, and it's Las Vegas, so that's always fun.
Sunday Update: Lionsgate's Divergent debuted comfortably in first place this weekend with an estimated $56.0 million. The highly anticipated young adult adaptation starring Shailene Woodley performed in line with its wide ranging expectations which fell anywhere from $50 million to $70 million heading into the weekend. Without adjusting for ticket price inflation, Divergent delivered the eighth largest debut ever for the month of March. The film generated the second largest opening weekend of 2014 thus far (behind only the $69.05 million start of The LEGO Movie). Divergent opened 20 percent below the $69.64 million start of 2008's Twilight and 107 percent above the $27.02 million debut of last year's Ender's Game. The film's very solid start this weekend is a good early sign for its two already announced sequels, Insurgent (set for March 20, 2015) and Allegiant (set for March 18, 2016).
While Divergent was helped by strong pre-sales driven by its build-in audience of fans, the film wasn't very front-loaded for a young adult adaptation. The film opened with $22.63 million on Friday (which included an estimated $4.9 million from late night showings on Thursday night), fell only 13 percent on Saturday to take in $19.75 million and is estimated to decline 31 percent on Sunday to take in $13.63 million. That places the film's estimated opening weekend to Friday ratio at 2.48 to 1. In comparison, 2012's The Hunger Games had a ratio of 2.27 to 1, while Twilight had a ratio of just 1.94 to 1.
The more back-loaded start of Divergent is a good early sign going forward and was due at least in part to the film's somewhat surprising four-quadrant appeal. The audience breakdown for the film skewed towards female moviegoers (59 percent) and was roughly evenly split between moviegoers over and under the age of 25. Divergent received a strong A rating on CinemaScore, which is also a good early sign going forward.
Divergent grossed $4.8 million from 348 IMAX locations this weekend. That represented 8.6 percent of the film's total grosses this weekend. Grosses from all large screen format locations (including IMAX) represented just over 16 percent of this weekend's total grosses.
Disney's Muppets Most Wanted debuted in a distant second place with an underwhelming estimated start of $16.51 million. The latest Muppets film opened below expectations and 43.5 percent below the $29.24 million opening weekend take of 2011's The Muppets (a figure which was deflated from that film opening on a Wednesday). Muppets Most Wanted was simply unable to create the same level of pre-release excitement that The Muppets did and was also hurt by arriving so soon after fellow family films The LEGO Movie and Mr. Peabody & Sherman. The four-quadrant appeal of Divergent also didn't help matters for Muppets Most Wanted this weekend.
Muppets Most Wanted opened with $4.66 million on Friday, increased 53 percent on Saturday to take in $7.15 million and is projected to fall 34 percent on Sunday to take in $4.71 million. That places the film's estimated opening weekend to Friday ratio at 3.54 to 1; a sure signal that the film is skewing heavily towards family audiences. The audience breakdown for the film skewed towards female moviegoers (54 percent) and moviegoers 25 years and younger (54 percent). Muppets Most Wanted received a respectable B+ rating on CinemaScore.
The weekend's other new major release, God's Not Dead, debuted surprisingly strong in fifth place with an estimated $8.56 million. The faith-based drama from Freestyle and Pure Flix averaged an impressive $10,979 for the frame from 780 locations. God's Not Dead delivered the largest opening weekend ever for Freestyle (the distributor's previous high-mark was the $5.78 million start of 2006's An American Haunting). Compared to other faith-based films, God's Not Dead opened 6 percent below the $9.11 million debut of 2011's Courageous and 25 percent ahead of the $6.84 million start of 2008's Fireproof.
Along with the recent stronger than expected start of Fox's Son of God, the strong start of God's Not Dead appears to be signaling a resurgence at the box office for faith-based films. That could be good news for Paramount's Noah (which opens this coming Friday) and Sony's Heaven Is For Real (which debuts on April 16). God's Not Dead grossed $2.82 million on Friday, increased 18 percent on Saturday to take in $3.32 million and is estimated to decline 27 percent on Sunday to take in $2.42 million. That places the film's estimated opening weekend to Friday ratio at 3.04 to 1.
Last weekend's top film, Mr. Peabody & Sherman, fell two spots and a significant 46 percent to place in third with an estimated $11.7 million. After a strong hold last weekend, the 3D computer animated film from Fox and DreamWorks Animation clearly took a hit from the arrival of both Divergent and Muppets Most Wanted in the marketplace this weekend. Mr. Peabody & Sherman is set to top the $80 million mark on Sunday and has grossed a respectable $81.00 million through 17 days of release. That places the film just behind the $81.50 million 17-day take of 2009's Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
Warner's 300: Rise of an Empire and Disney's Need for Speed claimed fourth place and sixth place respectively with estimated takes of $8.67 million and $7.78 million. 300: Rise of an Empire was down 55 percent from last weekend, while Need for Speed slid 56 percent. As was the case with many of the major holdovers this weekend, both action films likely took an extra hit from the stronger than anticipated appeal of Divergent with male moviegoers. To date, 300: Rise of an Empire has grossed a healthy $93.75 million in 17 days, while Need for Speed has grossed a lackluster $30.40 million in ten days.
Meanwhile on the limited front, Fox Searchlight's The Grand Budapest Hotel remained impressive with an estimated seventh place take of $6.75 million from just 304 locations. That gave the much buzzed about Wes Anderson directed film a per-location average of $22,204 for the frame. With a 17-day take of $12.96 million, The Grand Budapest Hotel is running far ahead of the $3.73 million 2012's Moonrise Kingdom grossed in 17 days (though it should be noted that Moonrise Kingdom expanded much more slowly in comparison). Given its continued strength, The Grand Budapest Hotel is in great shape to continue to perform well as it expands into additional locations going forward.
Saturday Update: Lionsgate reports that Divergent took in $22.8 million on Friday following (and including) its $4.9 million Thursday night haul. BoxOffice projects the film will bring in $54 million for the weekend.
Those figures are solid and put the $80 million production budgeted flick on course for a profitable global run, although pre-release sales and tracking had indicated a more sizable domestic opening closer to the original Twilight (which banked $69.6 million on opening weekend in November 2008).
On the bright side, word of mouth so far appears to be clashing with the critics: the YA adaptation's Rotten Tomatoes score sits at a rough 41 percent as of Saturday morning, but its Flixster audience score is a much stronger 81 percent--including those who haven't seen the film, but are still anticipating it.
This weekend's second wide opener, Muppets Most Wanted, debuted to $4.66 million yesterday. That's a modest start to a run that will inevitably be muted by the current success of Mr. Peabody & Sherman and next month's Rio 2. The film's critical response (77 percent on Rotten Tomatoes) seems to line up with early audience approval (80 percent on Flixster). Enthusiasm and interest dropped from 2011's revival, The Muppets, and the film should still bring in what BoxOffice is projecting to be $17.5 million this weekend.
Freestyle reports that God's Not Dead grossed $2.82 million from 780 locations on Friday. BoxOffice projects an $8 million weekend.
Friday Update #2: Sources tell BoxOffice that Divergent could be looking at around $25 million for Friday based on matinee and early evening business. From there, the adaptation could hit $53-55 million for the weekend.
Muppets Most Wanted is off to a healthy start. Sources tell BoxOffice that the sequel is on pace to bring in $6.5 million today, giving it a shot at $22+ million for the weekend.
Check BoxOffice on Saturday morning for official Friday estimates.
Friday Update #1: Sources report that Divergent earned $4.9 million from early Thursday night shows. That's a fairly healthy start for Lionsgate's latest YA (Young Adult) adaptation, although a bit underwhelming when compared to the original Twilight's $7 million from midnight-only shows (before going on to a $69.6 million opening weekend back in November 2008). The Hunger Games was responsible for $19.7 million from midnight shows in March 2012, although Divergent was not expected to generate that kind of upfront business.
Check back later today for early Friday projections.
Previously from Fandango: LOS ANGELES - March 20, 2014 - According to Fandango, the nation's leading moviegoer destination, the futuristic adventure, "Divergent," is poised to lead all factions, ranking at the top of the Fanticipation movie buzz indicator, scoring a dauntless 92 out of 100 points. Disney's musical comedy caper, "Muppets Most Wanted" is resonating with families and scoring a harmonious 82 out of 100 points.
"'Divergent' is looking like a sizable hit for all audiences, as the majority of our fans are intrigued by the film's unique premise and the action-adventure genre," says Fandango Chief Correspondent Dave Karger. "Thanks to the good will from the last Muppets movie three years ago, 'Muppets Most Wanted' is showing strong appeal among family moviegoers who love the mix of music, nostalgia, and A-list cameos."
According to an online survey of more than 1,000 "Divergent" ticket-buyers on Fandango:
· 66% plan to go with a group of friends;
· 56% were attracted to the movie's unique concept, 29% to the action, only 15% to the romance;
· 54% have read Veronica Roth's entire "Divergent" trilogy;
· 50% would pick the "Dauntless" faction, 19% Amity, 15% Erudite, 10% Abnegation, 6% Candor.
According to an online survey of more than 1,000 "Muppets Most Wanted" ticket-buyers on Fandango:
· 82% grew up watching "The Muppet Show" on TV;
· 72% are more interested in seeing the film because it's a musical;
· 71% had seen the previous "Muppets" movie with Jason Segel and Amy Adams;
· 62% said the idea of a villainous Kermit lookalike (Constantine) made them more excited to see "Muppets Most Wanted."
On Fandango's movie recommendation show, "Weekend Ticket," Karger breaks down this weekend's new releases and challenges "Divergent" stars Shailene Woodley and Theo James to a "Newly-Friend Game" of knowledge about each other's habits and likes and dislikes. The full episode can be found at http://www.fandango.com/WeekendTicket.
About Fandango's Fanticipation
Known for having its finger on the pulse of moviegoers, Fandango's movie buzz indicator, Fanticipation, provides statistical insight into the movies fans are planning to see in a given weekend. Fanticipation scores (based on a 1 to 100-point scale) are calculated via an algorithm of Fandango's advance ticket sales, website and mobile traffic, and social media engagement. Fanticipation is not intended as a forecast of the weekend box office; it is a snapshot of movie fan sentiment.
What would the summer season be without at least one major reboot? Come March 16, Warner Bros. will deliver the first reboot of the season with Godzilla. This week the BoxOffice team takes a closer look at the monster flick's commercial potential.
(Warner Bros.)
- The first theatrical trailer inspired glowing reactions.
- Co-star Bryan Cranston already features heavily in the marketing material. That's a wise move considering that the actor carries plenty of clout post-Breaking Bad.
- Godzilla is one of the most--if not the most--globally recognizable movie monsters of all time.
- The ensemble cast features key up-and-coming stars such as Aaron Taylor Johnson and Elizabeth Olson.
- It's possible that the bad taste that 1997's Godzilla left still lingers for some moviegoers.
- Opening in between The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and X-Men: Days of Future Past won't be easy.
Check out our prediction for Godzilla and other films in the table below.

Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant found in tomatoes and pink grapefruit. Like the better-known supplement beta-carotene , lycopene belongs to the family of chemicals known as carotenoids . As an antioxidant, it is about twice as powerful as beta-carotene.
SourcesLycopene is not a necessary nutrient. However, like other substances found in fruits and vegetables, it may be very important for optimal health. Tomatoes are the best source of lycopene. Happily, cooking doesn't destroy lycopene, so pizza sauce is just as good as a fresh tomato. In fact, some studies indicate that cooking tomatoes in oil may provide lycopene in a way that the body can use better, 1,2 although not all studies agree. 3 Lycopene is also found in watermelon, guava, and pink grapefruit. Synthetic lycopene is also available and appears to be as well absorbed as natural-source lycopene. 30
