Lake Robinson at sunset. During the summer, it is a magical place. This is one of the places I've discovered on my nature walks. Each time I go out, I come home refreshed and filled with an honest appreciation for the delightful world I've experienced.
The world around us is filled with magical color. I have tried to capture the wonders of the Blue Ridge Mountains and other places I've visited.
Take a journey with me into the mystical magical colors of flowers, lakes, trees, leaves and animals.
Photography allows me to stop and take the time to really examine the splendor in the world around me. I am intrigued and nourished by Nature in all its forms – minuscule to magnificent. From the intimate detail of a flower, to the intricacy and symmetry of a bird's feathers, to the many layers in a magnificent panoramic vista, I truly believe I am better for taking the time to really "see". My photography is my attempt to capture the magic of our world and is a celebration of the Blue Ridge Mountains where I live and the places I've visited. All of my photos are captured "out in nature", so expect to find small surprises or something unexpected in the landscape or flowers – I always do. As I like to note "there's always a bug"! I am pleased to be able to share my unique vision of our sometimes mysterious, always awesome, and incredibly magnificent world through my photographs.

West (Bonus Tracks)
Customer Reviews Write a Review

Product Overview
With West, a disc that may well be Williams' most personal work to date, the singer-songwriter channels both her emotion and restive creative energy into a startling set of songs that touch on both darkness and redemption. At turns strikingly spare and compellingly muscular, the album's 13 cuts attest to her willingness to stretch as a musician -- and to put herself on the line as a chronicler of life.
There's no disputing the sense of struggle that imbues songs like "Fancy Funeral" -- a ballad with a gentle lilt that can't mask the disillusionment of a narrator trying to make a case for the meaninglessness of such an affair. Nor can one miss the ache in "Mama You Sweet," a raw-but-right rumination on what remains after the loss of a loved one.
On the other hand, West is rife with songs that serve to enliven and affirm, albeit in decidedly non-Hallmark fashion. The fiery "Come On" -- a kiss-off tune in the mode of Bob Dylan's "Positively 4th Street" -- uses a stinging guitar hook to grab the listener by the lapels, all the better for Williams to deliver a knockout blow with a flurry of acerbic, double-entendre lyrics. There's a similarly edgy vibe at play in "Wrap My Head Around That," which stalks stealthily for nine minutes of hypnotic rhythm -- goosed along by Bill Frisell's serpentine guitar -- that matches Williams' sharp wordplay at every turn.
The envelope-pushing sonics on those songs can be attributed to Williams' recent listening patterns -- an eclectic list that includes Thievery Corporation and M.I.A in addition to The Black Keys and White Stripes -- as well as the collaborative relationship she developed with the album's co-producer, Hal Willner.

John Brantley thought the show was all his this season now that Tim Tebow is gone, but Gators coach Urban Meyer says Monday he wants to use a two-QB rotation this fall.
Come Saturday night it's a visit to the Swamp for the Kentucky Wildcats. Kentucky and Florida both coming in three and oh, the 'cats beating Louisville, Western Kentucky and Akron, so this is their first SEC game.
John Brantley
Florida Quarterback
"...I mean Kentucky's a good team you definitely can't overlook them at all. We got 'em down here in the Swamp so that will definitely help us out. We're gonna treat it like any other game, we're gonna work really hard this week. We still got a lot of things to fix, and we're gonna work really hard to fix them and hopefully it will pay off on Saturday."
The Gators fixed enough things last week to get a 17 point win in Knoxville. Kickoff in Gainesville Saturday 7 eastern, Gators favored by two touchdowns.

Keep believing, True Believers! Answers about that mysterious Marvel movie dated for August 2014 are on the way as soon as today, if Marvel Studios co-president Louis D'Esposito is to be believed.
Speaking with MTV News at the world premiere of his Marvel One-Shot film "Item 47," D'Esposito teased that answers regarding the studio's future are coming at Comic-Con's Marvel panel on Saturday (July 14).
"At Hall H [today], that might answer some of your questions," he said with a grin. Without going into details on the specific title, D'Esposito explained the reasoning behind the property they've selected as their next film. "It can always be an "Iron Man," "Thor" and "Cap". We need to grow from there."
It's commonly believed that Marvel will be announcing "Guardians of the Galaxy" as their next movie after "Captain America 2." With characters featuring the likes of a space-raccoon with attitude and a talking tree, "Guardians" would easily be the most obscure Marvel title to make its way onto the big screen to date. But D'Esposito sees plenty of upside in pursuing that option.
"That would be Marvel in space," he said. "That's a great concept and a great idea, and potentially one of our films in the future."
Another possible candidate is "Black Panther," a superhero story that centers on T'Challa, the defender of a fictional African nation called Wakanda.
"He has a lot of the same characteristics of a Captain America: great character, good values," said the Marvel exec. "But it's a little more difficult, maybe, creating [a world like Wakanda]. It's always easier basing it here. For instance, 'Iron Man 3' is rooted right here in Los Angeles and New York. When you bring in other worlds, you're always faced with those difficulties."
No matter what they select as their post-"Captain America 2" film, Marvel has no shortage of options. They have so many options, in fact, that the studio might want to reconsider their current model of releasing just two films per year.
"The temptation is to try a third, and maybe we will," said D'Esposito. "But we're a small group. It's very, very difficult. We're unique as a studio. We're not just the studio, we produce the films ourselves. It requires a lot of hands on time and effort. You can only stretch it so much before it breaks. So we're very mindful of that. We have to check our enthusiasm. We can't be overly aggressive. We still want to make quality films, and that's the most important thing for us."

As we wait for ABC to retract its strange Wednesday night leadoff story asserting Speaker Dennis Hastert was "included" in a federal bribery probe (and ex-Clinton flack George Stephanopoulos called it "potentially seismic"), it is quite obvious there is some serious liberal bias by placement here. The Hastert claims led "World News Tonight" on Wednesday. But what about Monday night, when ABC's Jake Tapper had the story on the FBI finding $90,000 in a Democratic congressman's freezer?

Monday night's broadcast didn't get to Congressman William Jefferson until 20 minutes into the show, with no promotion at the show's beginning. The program began with anchor Elizabeth Vargas promoting four other stories: identity theft against veterans, hurricane forecasts, the health of race horse Barbaro, and a segment on back pain.

Since it came after potential hurricanes and ailing race horses, Vargas did promote it as coming up at about 11 minutes in and 18 minutes in. Tapper's story was pretty straightforward, but it didn't feature Stephanopoulos showing up to declare it "potentially seismic." At the story's end, Tapper noted Democrats are already seeking someone else to run for Jefferson's seat, but no real mention that Democrats have been trying to run against a &... culture of corruption" in the mid-term elections.

ABC's Hastert Huff Drew Much Better Placement Than Democrat's Freezer-Cash Story

EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — The Snohomish County sheriff's office says it sees about one shoplifting case a week that turns from a misdemeanor into a felony because the shoplifter scuffles with security guards or makes threats.
Spokesman Kevin Prentiss says it often happens impulsively when a shoplifter tries to flee. A Lynnwood man who fled a store with a ream of paper and a pair of scissors last week was arrested for robbery after he threatened a worker with the scissors.
A spokeswoman for the National Association for Shoplifting Prevention, Barbara Staib, says shoplifters would be well-advised to take takes their lumps because most shoplifting cases don't result in much jail time.

A WEEK passed, then a fortnight, then a month. It was a month of the greatest anxiety and unquietude for Trina. McTeague was out of a job, could find nothing to do; and Trina, who saw the impossibility of saving as much money as usual out of her earnings under the present conditions, was on the lookout for cheaper quarters. In spite of his outcries and sulky resistance Trina had induced her husband to consent to such a move, bewildering him with a torrent of phrases and marvellous columns of figures by which she proved conclusively that they were in a condition but one remove from downright destitution.
The dentist continued idle. Since his ill success with the manufacturers of surgical instruments he had made but two attempts to secure a job. Trina had gone to see Uncle Oelbermann and had obtained for McTeague a position in the shipping department of the wholesale toy store. However, it was a position that involved a certain amount of ciphering, and McTeague had been obliged to throw it up in two days.
Then for a time they had entertained a wild idea that a place on the police force could be secured for McTeague. He could pass the physical examination with flying colors, and Ryer, who had become the secretary of the Polk Street Improvement Club, promised the requisite political 'pull.' If McTeague had shown a certain energy in the matter the attempt might have been successful; but he was too stupid, or of late had become too listless to exert himself greatly, and the affair resulted only in a violent quarrel with Ryer.
McTeague had lost his ambition. He did not care to better his situation. All he wanted was a warm place to sleep and three good meals a day. At the first--at the very first--he had chafed at his idleness and had spent the days with his wife in their one narrow room, walking back and forth with the restlessness of a caged brute, or sitting motionless for hours, watching Trina at her work, feeling a

Uncover the delights of Indochina on this South-East Asian adventure
Travel from Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City, experiencing the delights of northern Thailand, the laidback river lifestyle of Laos and the cultural richness of Vietnam. From the bright lights of Bangkok to the age-old charms of Luang Prabang and the buzz of Hanoi, join us on a voyage of discovery and relaxation. Travel down the mighty Mekong and become acquainted with the tranquillity of remote villages and friendly locals along the way. Sip coffee by the lake in Hanoi, stroll the pristine shoreline around Halong Bay, take in the charming old-world ambiance of Hue and marvel at the hectic pace of life in Ho Chi Minh City. This is an adventure full of beauty and contrast that will introduce you to the delicious cuisine, friendly people, beautiful landscape and cosmopolitan cities of these fascinating countries.
- Meander down the Mekong
- Discover the thousands of Buddha statues at the Pak Ou Caves
- Experience colourful Vientiane
Day 1-2 Bangkok
Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6pm on Day 1.
Please look for a note in the hotel lobby or ask the hotel reception where it will take place. If you can't arrange a flight that will arrive in time, you may wish to arrive a day early so you're able to attend. We'll be happy to book additional accommodation for you (subject to availability). If you're going to be late, please inform the hotel reception. We'll be collecting your insurance details and next of kin information at this meeting, so please ensure you have all these details to provide to your leader.
Thailand's bustling capital, Bangkok is famous for its tuk tuks, khlong boats and street vendors serving up delicious Thai food.
Bangkok has so much to offer those with time to explore - why not take a riverboat to Chinatown and explore the crowded streets, uncover the magnificent Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, wander down the tourist mecca of Khao San Road, or indulge in some Thai massage?
Travel by longtail boat down the Chao Phraya River to explore the famous 'khlongs' (canals) of Bangkok (approx 1 hr). Life along these canals seems a world away from the chaotic streets of the capital.
Pay a visit to Wat Pho, home to the country's largest reclining Buddha and keeper of the magic behind Thai massage.
Head north to Chiang Mai in the evening on an overnight train journey, accommodated in air-conditioned sleeping berths (approx. 13hrs). Multi share compartments are air-conditioned, with bunk beds; sheets and pillow provided. Our baggage travels in the carriage with us. There is a food and drink service available on board.
Day 3-4 Chiang Mai
Explore the famous temple complex of Doi Suthep. Drive along a scenic, winding mountain road that ends at an impressive 300-step naga-guarded stairway (approx 45 mins). The rewards justify the climb with one of the most beautiful temples in Thailand on display, not to mention fantastic panoramic views of the city and the opportunity to listen to hypnotic evening chanting by resident Buddhist monks.
In the evening you can choose to wander through the enormous, colourful Night Bazaar, and perhaps relax at a fine restaurant along the riverfront. Make sure to sample some delicious traditional northern Thai food - the signature dish is kao soy, yellow wheat noodles in a curry broth, traditionally served with chicken or beef.
Day 5 Chiang Khong
Formerly known as 'Juon', peaceful riverside Chiang Khong remains an important market town for the surrounding hill tribes and trade with Laos.
Stretch your legs with a stroll around town, then enjoy a drink and dine on Thai cuisine, while Laos beckons from across the mighty Mekong.
Day 6 Pakbeng - Mekong River
Our river boat is basic in nature, with a toilet, covered roof, and open sides to take in the fresh air. There are seats in the front of the boat and a small open area in the back where you can have a nap on the mat, play cards, read or have lunch.
We dock at the small town of Pak Beng (after about 6 hours) to spend the night. Our guesthouse here is very basic - a standard accommodation in this small trading port.
It can be quite cool from November to February so make sure you have some warm gear packed for this period. Due to dam construction upstream, water levels aren't as reliable as in previous years, and when the river is at its lowest from February to April, part of the journey may occasionally need to be made by land.
Day 7-9 Luang Prabang
An important religious site overlooking the river at the junction of the Mekong and Ou Rivers, the revered Pak Ou Caves contain thousands of Buddha images placed there by pilgrims over hundreds of years.
The atmospheric World Heritage-listed city of Luang Prabang is a favourite of many. Nestled in the hills of northern Laos on the confluence of the Mekong and Khan rivers, it's studded with ornate temples and French colonial architecture.
Enjoy a guided tour around the Traditional Art & Ethnology centre - a non-profit museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, and interpretation of its traditional arts and lifestyles
Head out to the beautiful Kuang Si Falls, where pale turquoise waters cascade over limestone formations. The lovely pool at the base of the falls is perfect for a refreshing afternoon dip.
In your free time consider a climb to the top of Mt Phousi - providing a fantastic view over the town and its surrounds. The Dara Market sells everything and is a great spot to browse. If you'd like to experience more local culture, consider taking a long boat across the river to a traditional Laotian village.
Day 10-11 Vang Vieng
Situated on the Nam Song River, Vang Vieng offers limestone karst scenery, local markets and riverside walks.
There is plenty to do in and around Vang Vieng. The area is renowned for its many caves, many of which are easily accessible from the town, perhaps the most famous is the cave of Tham Chang, a beautiful cavern fed by a natural spring making it a perfect spot for a refreshing swim. Hire bicycles to explore further afield, or a tour of an Organic Mulberry Farm is also an option.
Day 12 Vientiane
Possibly Asia's most laidback capital, Vientiane is a city where daily affairs are conducted at a relaxed pace. Hardly touched by the modernisation that has completely changed the face of other cities in South-East Asia, Laos still has a wealth of cultural delights to discover - on foot, or for the less energetic, by jumbo (tuk tuk).
Follow dusty tracks along the river to find villages full of friendly children, dogs and chickens. Vientiane's vibrant, colourful morning market (which incidentally is open all day!) is full of local treasures. A great way to round off the day is to enjoy a spectacular sunset over the Mekong.
Pay a visit to Wat Si Saket, a Buddhist temple believed to be the oldest still standing in Vientiane.
Visit COPE, an Intrepid Foundation-sponsored organisation dedicated to assistance those who have been injured by the multitude of unexploded ordinance across the country.
Day 13 Hanoi
As this is a combination trip, your group leader and the composition of your group may change at this location. There will be a group meeting to discuss the next stage of your itinerary and you're welcome to attend, as this is a great chance to meet your new fellow travellers.
Day 14 Halong Bay
The sailing junk has twin share cabins with air-conditioning and private facilities. There's also a dining room and bar to enjoy lunch, dinner and breakfast.
Notes: Due to recent unforeseen changes by local authorities in Halong Bay, a large proportion of boats are no longer permitted to stay in the bay overnight, resulting in a shortage of boats. To ensure all Intrepid travellers can enjoy the experience of a night on the water, we're occasionally using a larger boat (with approximately 12 cabins) or splitting groups across different vessels. An Intrepid group leader will be present on each boat, and the route taken and inclusions on board will remain the same.
Day 15 Overnight Train
Day 16 Hue
Once the imperial capital of Vietnam, Hue holds the treasures of the country's royal past. You'll have free time in the morning to rest or explore. The bustling Dong Ba Market is a great place to sample some of the foods that once graced the Nguyen emperors' tables, such as banh khoai (royal rice cake). After lunch, reunite with the group to visit the war-damaged ruins of the Hue Imperial Citadel complex, which once contained temples, state houses and the emperor's palace.
Day 17 Hue
Enjoy a short boat cruise down the Perfume River before eating lunch inside a nunnery. Finally, visit the lakeside royal tomb of Emperor Tu Duc before heading back to Hue.
Notes: For those who do not wish to ride on the back of a motorbike, please let you leader know and they will arrange a car.
Also, boats for the Perfume River trip may not be available if you're travelling during festival periods. During these times you'll travel by land to reach the activities instead.
Day 18 Hoi An
Day 19 Hoi An
Day 20 Ho Chi Minh City
You also have the option today to take an Urban Adventures tour to the Cu Chi tunnels outside the city. This underground tunnel network in the middle of the jungle was used by the Viet Cong during the war.
Day 21 Mekong Delta/Ho Chi Minh City
Enjoy a final group dinner at KOTO restaurant, an organisation dedicated to developing the hospitality careers of street kids.
Day 22 Ho Chi Minh City

Sandusky appeal in Pa. appeals court judges' hands
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) — Jerry Sandusky's request for a new trial is in the hands of three Pennsylvania appeals court judges following a half-hour argument session.
The Superior Court panel considered the arguments Tuesday of Sandusky lawyer Norris Gelman, including that the former Penn State assistant coach was rushed to trial on child molestation charges last year.
Gelman also says the trial judge mishandled jury instructions and a prosecutor made improper references to Sandusky not taking the stand in his own defense.
James Barker of the state attorney general's office argues that a new trial isn't warranted.
The 69-year-old Sandusky is serving a 30- to 60-year prison sentence for sexual abuse of 10 boys.
The judges didn't indicate when they will rule. Sandusky wasn't in court.

i have a shimano 600 headset and a shimano ultegra one.
i know they're both technically ultegra, but one specifies the name while the other simply says 600.
this tells me that the 600 is older, but is there any real difference here? they look pretty identical. i'm going to install one in about an hour-- is there a benefit to using one or the other?
if they are in fact identical, i'm probably going to use the 600 as it's less conspicuous (ultegra "sounds" more expensive)...

Continuing coverage of the Marche du Film in Cannes, indieWIRE reports on the latest deals and news from the Croisette. Hyde Park hypes a multi-million dollar fund for Singapore productions, MTV acquires "Planet B-Boy from Elephant Eye, Celluloid Dreams begins pre-sales of Jacques Audiard's latest, Jada Pinkett- Smith brings her directorial debut to Cannes, Origin Pictures will launch in June, a look at the Canadian pavillion, and more.
Hyde Park Hypes Multi-Million Dollar Asian Film Fund
Set to launch this Fall, a new multi-million dollar fund from Ashok Amritraj's Hyde Park Entertainment Group is aiming to trade on Singapore's goals to become a rising film outpost in Asia. The fund will funnel some $75 - 100 million (SGD) in equity and debt to support feature film production in Singapore, where Amritraj's new Hyde Park Asia (HPA) will be based.
HPA plans to back three to four films each year, mixing Hollywood projects with what it calls "cross-cultural titles aimed at a global audience." Weighing in on the announcement Thursday, head of the local Media Development Authority of Singapore Dr. Christopher Chia praises the development as bolstering, "Singapore's position as a media business exchange where New Asia Media projects are created, financed and distributed." Continuing in the statement, he added, "It sets the stage for more collaborations between Singapore media companies and Hyde Park Asia."
HPA is finishing "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li," based on the Japanese video game of the same name. The Fox film, still in production in Hong Kong and Bangkok, stars Kristin Kreuk, Michael Clarke Duncan, Neal McDonough, as well Asian stars Josie Ho and Edmund Chen. Also on their slate are the romantic comedy "The Other End of the Line" with American Jesse Metcalfe and Indian actress Shriya Saran.
Hyde Park Asia expresses a commitment to focusing on new talent through its moviemaking reality show in India, "Gateway." The winners of the series will direct a film for the company later this fall. Meanwhile, also in India, Ashok Amritraj has a three-picture pact with Adlabs Films, the film arm of Reliance Entertainment, which hopes to co-finance HPA projects. The company's foreign sales arm, Hyde Park International, (lead by Lisa Wilson) will handle foreign territories. Hyde Park has a first look pact with 20th Century Fox. [Eugene Hernandez]
Celluloid Follows Audiard's "A Prophet" for Cannes '09; Collaborates for Cordero's "Rabia"
Celluloid Dreams has begun pre-sales on French director Jacques Audiard's crime drama, "A Prophet." The film sales company also announced plans to team with Spain's Telecino Cinema and Monfort Producciones, Colombia's dynamo and Mexico's Tequila Gang on romantic thriller, "Rabia" by Sebastian Cordero.
Written by Audiard and Thomas Bidegain based on a script by Abdel Raouf Dafri and Nicolas Peufaillit, "The Prophet" is the story of Malik, a young Arab imprisoned because he wouldn't snitch. At age 18, he arrives in a French prison completely lost. At first, he maintains obedience to the prison's reigning Corsican mafia, and slowly rises in the ranks, playing a dangerous game of double-crossing the Corsicans, and ultimately destroys his enemies. Following his release six years later, he successfully builds his own empire and is the leader of the Arab mafia and a hero to his community.
Audiard is producing the film along with Chic Films and Why Not Productions with a $12 million budget. Principal photography begins in August with delivery set for Cannes' 09. UGC will distribute the film in France, while BIM Distribuzione pre-bought Italian rights ahead of Cannes after coming on board as the Italian co-producer. Audiard's previous film, "The Beat that My Heart Skipped" won eight Cesar Awards in 2006 and won the BAFTA for best foreign language film in the same year.
Cordero's $5.3 million USD project, meanwhile, began principal photography this month with a planned eight-week shoot in locations near San Sebastian in Spain. Mexican actor Gustavo Sanchez Parra ("Amores perros") and Colombian actress Martina Garcia ("Satanas") star in the film, which Celluloid describes as a "haunting tale about two immigrant workers in Spain."
The project is the first collaboration between Celluloid and Telecino Cinema as well as Tequila Gang, the production company of Mexican director and producer Guillermo del Toro and Bertha Navarro. Both Telecino Cinema and Tequila Gang co-produced multiple Oscar-winning post-Spanish Civil War fable, "Pan's Labyrinth." [Brian Brooks]
BBC's David Thompson Launches Origin Pictures
David Thompson, former Head of BBC Films and executive producer of awards winning films such as "Billy Elliot," "Dirty Pretty Things," and "Notes on A Scandal," has announced that he will be launching his own independent film and television production company, Origin Pictures. Thompson plans to continue as Executive Producer for BBC Films for the next few years on upcoming films such as Jane Campion's "Bright Star" and Martin Campbell's "Edge of Darkness." With him, Thompson is bringing along Ed Rubin as Head of Development, with Anant Singh's company Distant Horizon as a major backer for Origin. Said Singh in a statement about Thompson, "His exceptional experience in motion pictures and television coupled with his global relationships will make Origin Pictures a formidable independent production house in the UK and we are delighted to be a part of it. Origin has a first look deals with BBC Fiction and Freemantle Media Enterprises. [Jenny Sung/indieWIRE]
Elephant Eye Trunks a TV Deal with MTV; Shops Growing Slate in Market
MTV has acquired U.S. television rights to director Benson Lee's break dancing doc, "Planet B-Boy" from production, sales and boutique distribution outfit Elephant Eye Films. Elephant, which currently has "B-Boy" in release theatrically Stateside, also negotiated a video deal for the title, which has enjoyed a successful box office run, with Arts Alliance America in addition to VOD, which Gravitas Ventures repped and sold to Warner Home Video.
The New York-based company is attending its first Cannes after its formation last spring by Kim Jose (former VP of Jean Doumanian Production), Dave Robinson (former CFO and head of international sales for Lee Daniels Entertainment), and Vicky Wight (former VP of Artistic License). The company released Jennifer Venditti's SXSW Film Festival award-winning doc "Billy the Kid" earlier in the year and plans to produce and distribute a slate of four to six titles in the U.S. per year.
The company is in Cannes to shop their slate of projects in addition to acquiring films for U.S. theatrical release. The group picked up international sales rights to Irfan Kamal's 'Hindi indie' "Thanks Maa," about a 12 year-old boy who saves an infant and tries to find the child's birth mother amid the squalor of Mumbai.
Elephant is also selling Aaron Woodley's "Tennessee," starring Mariah Carey and produced by Lee Daniels in addition to "Push," produced and directed by Daniels, starring Mo'Nique, Gabourey Sidibe, Paula Patton and Lenny Kravitz, with an autumn release planned for the U.S. Also screening in the Marche du Film is Craig Zobel's "Great Wall of Sound," which Magnolia Pictures released in the U.S. Elephant Eye is producing Zobel's upcoming comedy "Turkey in the Straw," which begins principal photography this summer. Additionally, Mike Jacobs' doc, "Audience of One" is also screening in the market.
"We couldn't' be happier to have MTV on board. They've been very supportive and we think it's a perfect fit for the network," commented Jose about the television deal for "Planet B-Boy." "We're thrilled for the 'B-Boy' team and director Benson Lee because their film will get the exposure it really deserves." [Brian Brooks]

In theatrical release, "Jab We Met" grossed nearly $20 million US at the worldwide box office and received many awards. Gutek has also acquired rights to "Welcome," another Bollywood hit, releasing both films theatrically before their DVD and TV runs. "I am aware that 'Welcome' is a huge film and even though it is a comedy, atypical for Poland, we are taking it as a challenge," said Jukub Duszynski of Gutek Film in a statement. Hemant Bhardwaj of Studio 18 said in a release, "We're very excited about showcasing our films to audiences from around the globe and Poland is definitely among our thrust markets." [Jenny Sung}

Other films Entertainment 7 will be representing at the market are "For Love Alone," "An Existential Affair," "Redemption," and "Blackwater Farm." [Jenny Sung]
Canadians Take Care Of Business
With 3 films in competition, Canadians have their share of the spotlight at Cannes. In addition to their Brazil-Japan co-production, "Blindness," which opened the festival Wednesday night, Canada brings Atom Egoyan's return to Cannes competition with "Adoration," and Denis Villenueve's short "Next Floor," which is screening as part of International Critic's Week. "It's a good year for Canadians," said Lise Corriveau, Project Leader of Festivals and Markets for Telefilm Canada. "Selection wise, and business wise."
Corriveau suggested there are close to 150 companies at Cannes, 72 of which are registered at the Canadian Pavilion, which Telefilm organizes and finances. That number is up from 16 companies that registered during the Pavilion's first year, 2002, and from the 56 that registered last year. "We used to always say that there are 500 Canadians at Cannes," Correvieau laughed. "It's a lot more now."
This increase could be in part due to the substantial consideration Telefilm and the Canadian Pavilion (which is produced in partnership with provincial film development agencies, the Department of Canadian Heritage, and the Canadian Film and Television Production Association) give to the people that make the trip. "We try to give a lot of promotion for companies," said Correvieau. "We use public funds, so we want to make sure the money is well used." In doing so, the Pavilion has put on a "cost sharing initiative," in which they pay for one of the two screenings of films playing in the Cannes Market, and take care of all of the promotion.
Under the heading "Perspective Canada," films screening in the market benefit from substantial marketing and events. "This year we decided to do events focusing specifically on international buyers," said Correvieau. Among them are three invitation-only networking events, one for distributors and sales agents (May 17), one for European buyers (May 18), and one for the Asia-Pacific region (May 20).
Another initiative of the Pavilion is increasing Canadian co-productions. "Canada is highly sought after co-production partner," explained Correvieau. For this reason, the Pavilion branded the program "Partnering With Canada," which focuses on co-productions, tax credits and shooting locations. "People appreciate the professionalism of Canadian producers," said Correvieau. "We try to guide people to them."
One event the Pavilion is producing to help this happen is a "speed dating" session for French language projects, which will welcome French producers registered in the Producers Network, which is organized in association with SODEC (Societe de developpement des enterprises culturelles du Quebec). However, it is notable that SODEC itself is the only provincial organization that is not a full partner of the Pavilion, and actually has its own Pavilion down the carpet from Canada with Quebec-specific initiatives. How does this affect the French films in the Canadian Pavilion? "We're supporting all Canadian companies," said Correvieau with a smirk. "We don't care where they come from."
The Pavilion's events kick of Friday with the "speed dating" session and continue through the festival. [Peter Knegt]

Blades this fine deserve a razor to match. For a high-performance model with a vintage look, check out Baxter of California's Safety Razor.
Availability: In stock
Safety razor blades might be economical, but that doesn't mean they compromise on quality. These blades by Derby Extra serve as exceptional ammo for any standard safety razor. Each double-edged specimen is forged from Swedish steel, and at a value of 20 cents per blade, their price will impress just as much as their edge.
To swap out a spent blade, unscrew the top of your safety razor, and remove the old cartridge by carefully gripping its sides. Replace it with a fresh blade (taking care to avoid the sharp edges), and screw the razor shut. Perform this ritual every two weeks, or every week if you shave on a daily basis.
These razors are good but not great. They work well but the price the not match compare to other competitors like shark or feather. I suggest to just by a 100 razor pack from amazon.
These are my first safety razor blades and them seem okay but i dont have anything to compare them to so I will say there OK
These blades are the classic go to for us single blade shavers. They're sharp, durable, and do a great job. These are the best blades I have ever used.
I used to shave every other day with retail store double edge safety razors. Now I use daily these for last two weeks changing every 4 days and love it
The Blades are not as sharp and tug the hair. I get a decent shave, but skin is left red and irritated. Not a first choice, but they are cheap so...

Tallahassee, FL -- Tallahassee City Commissioner Andrew Gillum said "when it rains, it pours" when he was asked about the recent string of "high-profile" incidents involving the Tallahassee Police Department.
Coming off a grand jury decision that urged the Tallahassee Police Department to follow their own pracitces more closely after a controversial D.U.I. arrest video made national news, the department is now being accused of questionable practices again. This time, it's from the alleged victim accusing FSU quarterback Jameis Winston of sexual assault. She claims a TPD detective warned her about pursuing charges in the case.
Gillum said there should "absolutely" be a review after the case is completed.
"I think we've got to let it play out, it's still an active investigation, you still have the state attorney who has to make some decisions, but once that is done I think you have to go back and say 'what could we have done differently? what could we have done better?'" said Gillum.
State Attorney Willie Meggs said earlier in the week that nothing will be decided in the case until at least after the Thanksgiving holiday.

"Farragut Camping" Farragut State Park by teram13
Farragut State Park Travel Guide: 4 reviews and 23 photos
I visited Farragut for the first time in late August of 2007. The people we camped with had horses, so we stayed in the equestrian loop. Those sites are very large and are very spaced out. The ranger drives through once or twice a day and other than that, it is very quiet.
We decided to try the none equestrian side of Farragut the last weekend in May of 2009. If you want a particular site, you are best off reserving, but you have to pay a $10 service fee, which is annoying. We stayed in the Whitetail loop at site 50. It was by far the best site in the loop. It is located in the back corner, down in the trees. We had two vehicles parked at the site and when cars drove by on the loop, they could barely see us. You are surrounded by trees, but you can hear the other campsites quite well. We brought our dogs, so we were not allowed at designated swimming beach, but we did go down to the boat launch and find a beachy area there to play on with the dogs. It was about a .5 mile walk from our camp site. There was running water about 200 ft. away which was not a problem. The only downside was the camp site pad was a little small. Also, the only loop restrooms were quite a walk away. We were probably the farthest site from them. But they were fairly clean and there was a playground near by. Overall, love it and we will go back! Lots of trails to discover!

"Using these gift tags for favor bags. Also matched them to the invitations! Love Tiny Prints and how they have such a variety to choose from for anything needing personalization and coordinating products for any occasion. Very satisfied with these tags. Color is great. Quick turnaround time and delivered in perfect condition. Will definitely be ordering again. Thank you!"
"This choice was perfect for me and my baby shower party favors. My order was deliveedr a day earlier than the suggested time, and the stickers were the perfect size and easy to remove from the backing and apply to the gift. I will definitely order other products! Thanks."
"I bought these to label my daughter's birthday favors. I have not used them yet, but they are a well made product and I bought the matching invitation. They feel like good quality stickers and look beautiful."
"The colors were an exact match with the colors for the theme. I used them for tags on baby shower favor bags. Not much customization could be done, but it was great the way it already was!"
"These labels were so unique and beautiful . They looked great on the goody bags that my daughter gave to her friends from preschool."

The Best Fast Food In The World!
by Dave , 10/22/2009
This is one of the very few places where I like everything on the menu It's a HUGE menu. Try their hot-dogs!! I've tried every kind of dog from Jewel, and they don't compare. When you use the best relish, mustard, ketchup etc, they turn out the best.Most food here is FLAME BROILED when possible. The fries are fresh-cut with some of the peel left on.TRY THIS PLACE!!

I not-so-gingerly agree
mkp-hearts-nyc replied on
I have loved the Daily Show ever since JS took it over, but you're absolutely right that sometimes his Liberal Dudes Who Don't Get It bias shows - and it hurts my feelings, honestly (as opposed to more egregious sexist posturing, which makes me angry and determined to Show Them All) because I know he knows better. I know he knows that sexism exists, and is a real problem, and that there's more his show could be doing to promote women instead of relying on sex jokes and bathroom humor and meanness.
And that's what it feels like - it feels like your cool brother and his friends who you like and look up to turned around and called you a fat slutty loser. And that sucks. I hate it when people tell me to "lighten up" over pieces like this on the DS or the Onion because you know, the pieces aren't "light" - when I'm watching/reading and laughing along, sexist jokes bring everything to a crashing halt. I would <i>love</i> to just let it roll off my back, but you can't just ignore a nail in your shoe because you'd rather keep walking.
I love my Jonny, but...
Rachel Kahan replied on
Sometimes he and his boyos resemble nothing more than a crowd of overgrown teenagers. I totally cringed at both these pieces. Ho jokes? Fat jokes? Come the fuck on.
Comedy-wise, it shows a remarkable lack of edge and imagination, which Jon and his writers usually do so well. With everything that's going on in the news today, he makes fat jokes? That's just plain lazy. I can see that shit at any bad comedy club anywhere in the country, and get a free watered-down drink in the bargain.
Becky Sharper www.harpyness.com
Mandy Van Deven replied on
I'd be really interested to know more about JS's writers... and Stephen Colbert's for that matter. Both shows frequently make offensive remarks about fat people and play into tired tropes about "terrorists" (Gitmo Elmo) and women's sex appeal, which is an indication that their writers aren't representative of these groups. Perhaps we need a feminist version of the Daily Show/Colbert Report to make fun of these guys for the dumb things they say, huh?
No, I agree. I quite
kokopuff replied on
No, I agree. I quite watching a while back because the writing was getting rather sophomoric. Definitely has lost some of its intellectual edge.
politicalpartygirl replied on
I love Jon Stewart, but I was cringing throughout the whole "Fat Jon" sketch. I didn't even see the reason for it, especially when there has been such insanity in the news these last two weeks that would make great joke fodder. I was so eager for their return, and they started with irrelevant and offensive slapstick. It felt like bad filler.
I agree that he can be insensitive to women in his jokes, although I did not see last night's episode. I mourn the lack of female contributors, especially because it seems like a majority of the stories/commentaries by Samantha Bee and Kristen Schaal are about "being a laydee" or at least have a large emphasis on gender. The Daily Show was long criticized for a lack of racial diversity, and until the last year or two when they hired Aasif Manvi, Larry Wilmore, and Wyatt Cenac, the criticism was valid. Hopefully this year will bring many new female correspondents, but I'm not holding my breath.
I agree. Most of John's
Sanfranannie replied on
I agree. Most of John's commentary is enlightened and enlightening but he has some big blind spots, often in the area of women.
I was complaining the other day actually about one of his regular jokes - riffing on the 'you throw like a girl' meme. Ugh.
I absolutely agree. His
Kelly replied on
I absolutely agree. His "used vagina salesman" comment seemed to be less about ACORN and more about "Hee hee sex workers are funny!"
bluebears replied on
When I put the show on on Monday night I was SO excited to have it back and then....yeah. Ugh, and the Brian Williams picture? And the cheese-steak milkshake? cause haha fat people eat horrible repulsive shit. It was all just so bad. What were they thinking? Who were they aiming this towards? Why? Just fucking why? With the WEALTH of topical issues they had to mine for the opening of the show, why THAT?
You just need to trust in Jon
Laura replied on
Haha.. Just kidding. I think that what most people don't get when they tell feminists to "get a sense of humor" is that this "joke" is representative of society as a whole. The fact that he can make these largely uncriticized jokes shows that society is okay with subjecting certain people to a "less than" status. And it's not right. Jon Stewart needs to realize that by making these jokes, he's doing his audience a disservice. The smart social commentary that he often gets right is really what will appeal to his target audience and keep them from changing the channel.
I admit I'm ignorant because
Anonymous replied on
I admit I'm ignorant because I don't have cable and I have never seen his show but for snippets. Or maybe just jaded, or maybe unsmitten and therefore objective? I just feel like getting it off my chest that you'd think the man were out spouting some seriously, thought out feminist rhetoric the way feminists practically wet their pants over this dude. Is he that liberal and funny? Or are our standards low? People used to say "my boyfriend Jon Stewart!!" on a feminist message bb I used to frequent like it was original. Are we that excited about a man on TV just b/c he's not a complete idiot and traditionally sexist (oh wait, he actually is?)
Lee Salzwedel replied on
I totally agree. I don't really understand the appeal of Jon Stewart anyway, and I think the whole "smart humor" thing is played up in his case. There's nothing informed or funny about sexism or fattism.
Yeah, the Audacity of Hos
MarySophia replied on
Yeah, the Audacity of Hos and "used vagina" things were pissing me off too. I'd still marry him, though.
Ellie replied on
I totally agree, and I'm so glad you wrote this post because it is EXACTLY what I was thinking when I watched each episode. I thought the show was saying "you are a bad person for being a prostitute" rather than "you may be wrong for wanting to dodge taxes". The writers seem to think that their audience would agree with them that "not paying taxes is bad, but prostitution is worse" - an argument that is clearly soooo far from a being closed book. Lazy humor, that was both immature AND sexist... so disappointing.
It's been a while since this
Rachel R. replied on
It's been a while since this episode aired so I don't remember my initial feelings about it except what some have already said - being disappointed by what I was presented with after what felt like a long wait for the DS's return.
Honestly, like previous posters, I haven't been watching it lately. I don't if it's b/c I've been busy or b/c I've just lost interest in what they talk about or b/c I've felt like the show has lost it's edge.
In a reply to an above poster, the reason women like him so much is b/c he seems light years ahead of a lot of the men we commonly see on TV as far as being intelligent and sensible (most of the time), and often adorably funny, too. But no one is perfect. I still love him, but I lose a little bit of respect for anyone when I hear them make a fat joke. I'm not wild about sex worker jokes, either.

A vast number of assets changes hands every day. Whether these assets are stocks, bonds, currencies, derivatives, real estate, or just somebody's house around the corner, there are common features driving the market price of these assets. For example, asset prices fluctuate more wildly than the prices of ordinary consumption goods. We observe emerging and bursting bubbles, bullish markets, and stock market crashes.
Another distinguishing feature of assets is that they entail uncertain payments, most of which occur far in the future. The price of assets is driven by expectations about these future payoffs. New information causes market participants to re-evaluate their expectations. For example, news about a company's future earning prospects changes the investors' expected value of stocks or bonds, while news of a country's economic prospects affects currency exchange rates. Depending on their information, market participants buy or sell the asset. In short, their information affects their trading activity and, thus, the asset price. Information flow is, however, not just a one-way street. Traders who do not receive a piece of new information are still conscious of the fact that the actions of other traders are driven by their information set. Therefore, uninformed traders can infer part of the other traders' information from the current movement of an asset's price. They might be able to learn even more by taking the whole price history into account. This leads us to the question of the extent to which technical or chart analysis is helpful in predicting the future price path.
There are many additional questions that fascinate both professionals and laymen. Why do bubbles develop and crashes occur? Why is the trading volume in terms of assets so much higher than real economic activity? Can people's herding behavior be simply attributed to irrational panic? Going beyond positive theory, some normative policy issues also arise. What are the early warning signals indicating that a different policy should be adopted? Can a different design of exchanges and other financial institutions reduce the risk of crashes and bubbles?

So what makes battlefield?
Seems to me that Battlefield 3 is generating a lot of new players to the fold. I'm sure many of them, as I do, are wondering what really sets the BF franchise apart from other FPS games (like Call of Duty for example).
Without going into the realm of "walls of text" could a few BF vet's give us noobs some insights on what we can expect will be different, whats the real flavor of Battlefield games?
We need you, Citizen!

For me it's vehicles. And not just a turret, or a tank - it's the whole gamut of what you'd see on a battlefield (sort of). It makes, in theory, a multi-layered battlefield which you just don't see anywhere else.
Everything is player controlled, so no "helo strike" perk - you want a gunship, go get it, learn to fly it and become master of it's strengths and weaknesses.
But - one of the most popular game-settings of BF2 were the infantry-only maps... so it's more than that. It's the open maps, no corridors and the options that then presents.
It's a better game-world than any other FPS I've played.

Large Maps compared to COD
Large Player Numbers BF3 will 64 Players on PC
Assortment of planes , Tanks , Helos , Vehicles
Team Work based play based on how squads are setup , weapon selection not everyone is same class
Hierarchy , Leadership roles to assign objectives to squad or in BF2 case was commander down
Working Comms haven't played a FPS with decent in game comms since BF2
Dedicated servers well over some COD titles

It's the complete package. The previous BF games had vehicular combat no other game could touch. Very well integrated into an overall arcade feel FPS. But the infantry was lacking something. It was never bad, but MW1 raised the bar. BC2 has, IMO, beaten that significantly, but it was a last minute console port, and lacked certain elements that BF3 will provide.
Teamwork is another factor. And it's not a simple scissors paper stone, setup. There are any number of ways to solve problems, and they all rely on good teamwork to a level no other FPS series comes remotely near. The vehicles combine with the inf to make taking down tanks like co-op bossfights.
BF3 is going to have all the elements to make it massive.

The one thing that BF2 had that BC2 doesn't was in game voip,you had squad talk and the squad leaders had comms with the commander,so you had a number of squads being directed by the commander who could 'see' the whole game unfolding and direct squads to defend or attack flags.
If BF3 has open maps like 1942,Vietnam and BF2,players only used to the COD series (except UO which had some great maps and vehicles) will have to learn to utilise vehicles and squad leaders (spawn points) to get to their objectives.
Going on past BF games not a lot of game play for 'snipers' I'm gonna camp here and rack up points,the game is too fluid and the action constantly moving

The battlefield series is the best there is, plain and simple.
I have played them all, mostly on the PC, i have switched over to console 3 years ago.
So now i play BFBC2 on my PS3 atleast a couple of times every week.
Almost every match i experience WOW moments that put a smile on my face.
The sound is just awesome, its the best there is, it just sounds real.
Hearing the helicopters whizz by overhead, feeling the controller shake in your hand because a tank rolls by,while your hiding behind a wall waiting to hit him from behind with a rocket.
BTW on the playstation voice coms is integrated into every game, in that aspect MAG has the best voice coms.
players in squad can talk to each other.
8 players = 1 squad (squad leader can talk to platoon leader)
4 squads= 1 platoon (platoon leader talks to commander)
4 platoons= 1 company (commander talks to everybody)
A cool feature is that you can hear people talking that are in your neighbourhood, but because they are not part of your squad you hear them softly in the background.
Also these kind of headsets are the best for gaming, this way you only hear voices speaking in your ear and no game sound another bonus is that it adds to the realism.
And for those who are missing out on BFBC2 here is why its awesome.

Comparing COD and BF is NEARLY like comparing apples with oranges. Yes, they're both FPS, but so is TF2 and it's in it's own category again.
I came from BF originally and started playing COD when my PC couldn't handle BFBC2. I found it very different. I find COD to be much more "arcadey" than BF. The skulls over your team mates dead body as an example.
As stated before, the other MAJOR difference is the vehicles in BF.
Kinda not really THAT important, but I spent 380hrs or something playing BF2142 and still never got to the highest rank. I've spent 190hrs in BO and got to the highest rank twice now. The BF series (in my experience) has required more dedication to rank up and unlock all the weapons.
Now, in saying all that, I'll be buying BF3 Stupid IW taking away my dedicated servers *grumble grumble*

Stock Raleigh Twenty Folder - $300 (Manor/UT)
Date: 2011-05-05, 10:41AM CDT
Reply to: email@example.com [Errors when replying to ads?]
I have a Raleigh Twenty folder for sale. As near as I can tell everything is stock as the day it came from the factory. SA 3 speed IGH shifts just fine, everything works. The paint and decals are original and show some imperfections, but nothing that penetrates the primer. The only real issue is the Brooks saddle. There is a small (~1") opening in the seam at the back, and the clamp for the saddle tilt is wearing out and tilt will shift if not thoroughly tightened.
The late bike guru Sheldon Brown loved these and had a stable full of them.
I am asking $300, and can show the bike on campus at UT Austin during the workweek or in Manor on the weekends/evenings.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
lol that bike doesnt even have horizontal drop outs, and the seat post is backwards
looks cool though..

This is a rare BCA New Yoker.
This bike was bought for me when I was young at the time I rode BMX and wasn't interested in it and only rode it 2 times it has been in the garage ever since. Very Rare Bicycle By BCA The New Yorker
This is a rare find, the bike was made by:
Bicycle Corp of America - No longer in business
Try and Google very rare BCA New Yorker and see what you come up with.
I have only found one other of these and have contacted the person at the above web address we have the only 2 that we know to exist. If you have questions or information on this bike I would love to hear from you.
Please serious inquires only thanks for looking I will consider serious offers.
Here is where that guy got that price from.

Not on par with the 50k BCA, but still pretty optimistic...
2 Matching 1966 Raleigh Chopper RSW 16 Bicycles Like Moulton Bikes - $1100 (Delray Beach)
These are early Raleigh RSW 16 Bikes. This was Raleigh's attempt to copy the revolutionary Moulton bicycles. Raleigh took over Moulton Cycles in 1967, thereby eliminating the competition. Like the Moultons, the RSWs used 16 inch wheels, but unlike the Moultons, they lacked front and rear suspension. To make up for this lack, the RSW was supplied with very wide (2 inch!) tires designed to run at low pressures. There were two basic variants of the RSW, the RSW and the RSW Compact. This is the first type "MK-1"and is not the folding version. It has a Sturmey-Archer 3 speed rear hub and twist shift and SA Dynamo front hub that powers the front and rear lamps. Both work great. Red with some typical paint wear for a 40+ year old bike. The chrome (hubs, rims, stem, ect.) is in outstanding condition for its age, some light pitting in some places. The bike weighs approximately 43lbs and measures about 58" long by 29" tall with the seat as low as it goes. Bike rides and drives great. Nice piece of history for a Moulton or Raleigh Bike Collector.
Emailed this guy with a picture of the same bike without the bent frame.
his response :No that's how its made thanks
I guess in a sense it is rare..

First of all I am pretty sure Gardin is Canadian not Italian, and are those TWIST shifters on a riser bar and MTB pedals?? I think the guy can't count either because that looks like a double to me, lol. Poor bike. $450 in my area, good luck with that....
The giveaway is that the geometry would be insanely out of whack if the top tube was not designed that way.
Wow look, same guy, a piece of crap Norco that you can't give away... for the amazing price of only $300!

John Travolta and Kelly Preston have a new son.
A publicist says baby Benjamin was born Tuesday in Florida, weighing 8 pounds and 3 ounces.
The spokeswoman says the couple and their daughter, Ella Bleu, "are ecstatic and very happy about the newest member of the family." The statement says Preston and baby Benjamin "are healthy and doing beautifully."
This is the third child for Travolta and Preston, who were married in 1991. Their eldest child, son Jett, died last year at age 16.
