The shares were priced at 900 Yen ($9) in the IPO and had slipped to 763 Yen ($7.63) by the end of the first day's trading- a drop of nearly 15%.
Japan Display was put together from the display businesses of Toshiba, Sony and Hitachi. Until this morning, 70% of the company was owned by the government-owned body Innovation Network Corp of Japan (INCJ). INCJ bought its 70% stake in 2012 for $2 billion.
The INCJ stepped in to form Japan Display when Sony, Toshiba and Hitachi were hit by a collapse in TV sales partly caused by the success of Samsung.
This morning's IPO saw INCJ sell half its 70% stake for $1.7 billion valuing Japan Display at $4 billion – though that value dropped 15% as shares fell in the trading following the IPO.
About 30% of Japan Display's sales are to Apple and Apple reported lower than expected sales shortly before the IPO.
Underwriters Nomura, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley were left with egg on their faces. Normally underwriters price a business at an IPO at a lower valuation than they expect to achieve.
Bank of America, Deutsche Bank and UBS were also involved in the IPO.
For Japan Display, however, it is a good result as they have some of the proceeds of the IPO to spend on expanding production.
Sony and other investors put 213 million shares up for sale in the IPO, Japan Display created 140 million new shares to be sold at the IPO, and the INCJ were selling 214 million shares.
So the total proceeds were the $1.7 billion raised from the sale of the INCJ shareholding, the $1.9 billion raised from the sale of the shares of Sony and other investors, and the $1.26 billion raised by the sale of the 140 million new shares created by Japan Display.
That, at $9 a share, means that nearly $5 billion was raised and the 15% drop in share price means the underwriters took a $750 million hit.
Let's hope they don't need bailing out – again.

It was a happy holidays from our friends at OfAKind.com Monday evening, who sneaked into our offices like Santa Claus and delivered gifts of tiny booze cans. We love booze! Especially booze that looks like soda, which we learned that time we went to London and had too much White Lightning. Luckily, Sofia Effervescent Wine is a tad bit classier than that. But not by much. More

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, we were not able to procure any Whipped Lightning for this trial, since we don't live in New Jersey and are too lazy to take the path train. But our desire for a 18% proof alcoholic dessert topping will not be quenched until we guzzle an entire can of "whipahol." (Though we might wait to the holidays so we can do whippets with our cousins after Christmas dinner.) More

When you're in college, the legal consumption of alcohol is either a new privilege you're thrilled about or a rite of passage you can't wait to happen. As a result, alcohol is a great novelty to the late teen/early teen mind, ain't it! While the average twenty-year-old Joe might once have settled for a bottle of chilled mediocre vodka mixed with cheap cranberry juice, today's young imbibers want something more: we want our alcohol to be novel. Whether it comes in the form of dessert or through an eyeball, oucor peers are finding stupider and stupider ways to ingest booze! We have to stop them. More

And here we thoughts whippits went out of style after high school graduation. But there's a product that's got parents worried about dessert toppings again: alcoholic whipped cream.
Companies like Cream and White Lightning are selling canisters filled with 30 proof cream. Which naturally has parents and concerned citizens worried about alcohol poisoning. And us worried about one thing: Where do we get some?
Come on. It's called White Lightning? These people are just pandering to the Four Loko/Bros Icing Bros crowd. And it will probably work. More

Four Loko, your days are numbered: Here in New York City, the demonically energetic malt liquor beverage has just one month left to peer menacingly from bodega shelves before it's evicted forever. And I can't say I'm upset by this news, because I was wronged by the drink. Betrayed by one of those camo-colored tallboys. That's right, Four Loko, with all its promise of fun-filled and enlightened party going, screwed me over me in a truly horrific manner that I will recount as a warning to you all.
Cut to: Me at 2 a.m., on a street corner of Manhattan's Lower East Side, hunched over a trash can and vomiting a four-hour-old plate of barbacoa tacos (with everything) into a trash can. Sure, a few beers entered my system that night, and there was a red plastic cup filled to the brim with WIld Turkey, but I blame the Four Loko. Because I am a fully grown and reasonably responsible human who has been around the block once or twice inebriating-substance-wise — and that shit messed me up in unprecedented ways. More
Oh man, British colloquialisms are so great. According to the BBC, a study from the journal Substance Abuse, Treatment, Prevention and Policy found that children who dislike school tend to drink more and have sex more. What makes the study so great? English grammar:
"The study of 3,641 11 to 14-year-olds by a team at Liverpool's John Moores University suggests those drinking once a week are 10 times more likely to have full sex."
No partial sex for these bad students! More

The best thing going on on the Internet right now: Researchers from the National Institute of Drug Abuse are answering high schoolers questions on a public chat board. It's really informative actually, but reminds us exactly how stupid and ill-informed we were about drugs back in high school. Also, it's hysterical, watching people with PhDs in drug research try to answer questions that you'd usually find on Yahoo message boards. Our favorite questions and answers below: More
Four Loko is the color of glow sticks. You likely didn't know this, since you've been drinking the magical elixir from a can. Or, more likely, you haven't manned up and downed a serving of the stuff.
The mainstream media coverage of Four Loko has generated a lot of hype, as well as the ceaseless circulation of meaningless terms like "blackout in a can" and "liquid cocaine." I'd take a guess and say that most of the anchors reporting on the drink haven't themselves experienced the can-induced blackout. So for the sake of journalism, I've taken the plunge. More

We here at Crushable go to a lot of parties, some of them fun, some of them awkward, but most of them involving free food and booze. I've written in the past about spending 6 broke-ass months as a freelance blogger, where my only means of sustenance most nights were those tiny little trays of hot dogs and chicken satay. In fact, my version of heaven involves an open bar and thousands of hot caterers walking around with bat-mitzvah food. More
Hey parents, have you heard that your kids are drinking caffeinated alcoholic malt beverages again? This time its coming in the form of Four Loko, and sweeping campuses across the nation after being created by three Oho college students. It's either delicious or disgusting, depending on which over-stimulated teen you ask, but it's also very dangerous. Or at least, so says the attorney state general of Washington, after nine students were hospitalized after drinking the beverage. Though technically, it is not a date-rape drug, so that's good. More

When racy, dildo-filled Holiday photos of ___ candidate Crystal Ball were uncovered by her opponent earlier this month, we hoped that people in public service positions would learn not to take photos of themselves goofing off, even if it was all in good fun.

Heidi 4 Paws: A Furry Tale
Heidi 4 Paws: A Furry Tale, airing Thursday, December 25 at 5 p.m. on WXXI-TV 21 (cable 11) and WXXI-HD (cable 1011 and DT 21.1), is sure to delight family members of all ages as it re-tells the classic children's story of Heidi featuring adorable dogs in all the roles! Written originally by Johanna Spyri in 1881, this all-time classic has been translated into over 70 languages. Now, in the tradition of Wishbone, Babe, and Charlotte's Web, audiences can enjoy a new version of this timeless masterpiece!
Combining the love of animals with cutting-edge special effects, this entertaining children's story achieves an emotional depth unprecedented in the "talking animal" genre. Featuring a talented team of sixteen dogs, Heidi 4 Paws: A Furry Tale is filmed in high definition and comes to life as the dogs are "mouth-articulated" with state-of-the-art 3D computer animation. Shot in live-action with panoramic backgrounds, each scene features real dogs in character costumes including wigs, hats, and in many cases eyeglasses and even shoes.
An impressive list of well-known actors lend their voices to characters including Angela Lansbury who portrays Grandmamma Sesehund; Stephen Rea as the kindly Doctor; Julian Sands as Peter the Goat herder; and Steve Guttenberg as Sebastian the butler.
Heidi 4 Paws: A Furry Tale begins as the young orphan, Heidi (in this case, an adorable yellow lab puppy) is taken to the mountains by Detie, the social worker (a feisty beagle) to live with her Grandfather (voiced by Richard Kind, portrayed physically by an elderly sheepdog)who is reluctant to accept her. But with time, Heidi falls in love with her Grandfather, his goats, and Peter the goat herder (voiced by Julian Sands, played by a greyhound mix). When Detie secretly returns and takes Heidi away to the big city, they are all powerless to stop her. Placed in a family with a young invalid named Clara (voiced by Kimberly Beck Clark and portrayed by a poodle-mix), Heidi learns how to read, the true value of deep friendship and the importance of family. After a calamity of sleepwalking puts Heidi and the family in danger, she is allowed to go back home to the mountains. Joyously reunited with her Grandfather, Heidi asks for Clara to come visit. When Clara's Grandmother (Angela Lansbury) makes the trip with Clara at her side, a heartwarming reunion brings both families together. The final miracle of the story occurs when Clara regains the ability to walk in a scene which highlights why this unique version of Heidi is destined to be a classic in its own right.

This review is from: GIGABYTE BRIX GB-XM1-3537 Intel HM77 Core i7-3537U 3.1GHz Integrated HD Graphics 4000
Pros: Extremely Tiny - smaller than the Intel NUC, Very quiet, Fast. It certainly packs a decent punch even though its merely a dual core i7. The minimal and sleek styling is definitely a plus. As noted above - you get the power cord included (Sorry NUC fans) The integrated video is more than fast enough considering it's not a gaming machine. Has an easy time driving a philips 1080p tv.
Cons: Loss of one star because its quite expensive and not a quad core processor. Only 2 USB 3 ports, although that's plenty for me considering I'm only using one to an external backup drive.
Other Thoughts: Right now its a home server, using windows 7 x64 as a host. I have iis, ftp, and rdp running, as well as a few VMs. Very stable. It sits right next to my router and modem. (Make sure you use the high performance power settings in the control panel as this does seem to affect performance in windows 7)

This review is from: GIGABYTE BRIX GB-XM1-3537 Intel HM77 Core i7-3537U 3.1GHz Integrated HD Graphics 4000
Pros: Small, Fast, solid all metal case. My purchase was oriented around this thing being used mainly towards a micro server role including virtual machine hosting and eventually headless or only occasional console needs... I got it with 16GB crucial ram and 240gb Mushkin ssd and all works trouble free. I used old USB 2 external cd/dvd drive to load Fedora 17 Linux x64. All worked flawlessly. I started the built in KVM hypervisor software and created/configured (oddly) some test SCO Unix and other Fedora based virtual machines all to my great satisfaction. From the Linux desktop, I easily connected to my office wifi and surfed. Desktop performance on a 1920x1200 flat panel via hdmi to DVI cable was excellent. I like that I got a local power cable included.
Cons: Not much at this time. This I7 based unit is currently the fastest unit I can find. It is dual core as advertised. It's fast but it would seem that for such a little box, they do not have a big cache and only dual core. Am going to monitor the fan for noise and longevity. It seems to get sound on your desktop, you presumably need a hdmi flat panel with speakers or usb speakers. Have not tried the displayport. I'm mixed on why this kind of box is on the expensive side though it is rather new/bleeding edge.
Other Thoughts: I was mixed on how I wanted to config the box. If max performance is wanted at all times, then disable EIST speedstep in bios. With EIST disabled, I see all cores run at 2594Ghz. Not sure in this config if it would still turbo to the 3.1Ghz rating ondemand. Overall though, it runs hotter this way so you may trade off the fan noise for full fan speed (~6k rpm) vs the autospeed of something around 4K rpm. With EIST enabled, the fan is normally much slower and decently quiet at idle. All around, I'm pretty impressed.

Back again after a long long time and apparently they changed their menu. Not sure how long it was but the food and menu now is definitely alot better then in the past! For full photo review please see here
Food was decent if a bit expensive. Service was okay with friendly staff but the kitchen was shockingly inefficient. It took a full hour and ten minutes from the time we ordered for the food to come. This was despite numerous reminders to the service staff to hasten the process. Ultimately I would only recommend this place for those who are looking for distinctly average, yet expensive, food and are pretentious enough to find enjoyment in the "ambience" while they wait an eternity for the food the arrive.

Without a car, I would probably NEVER EVER travel all the way to changi for this. It was seriously super ulu! But that is precisely the charm of Coastal Settlement, old-school, laidback, with a relaxing country-vibe. And the car ride along the length of the changi airbase and along the beach was absolutely picturesque! It was so beautiful, the expanse of space with the long beach, and planes rumbling along the runway and taking off all around you.
We were expecting breakfast/brunch food when we came to this restaurant, but realized that it actually has a lot of other dishes that are more for lunch/dinner. Anyway, it still made a great meal.
I've heard raving reviews about their Portobello fries ($15) and they didn't disappoint! Wonderfully crumbed in a light batter, the mushrooms were deliciously fragrant and juicy. They came with a truffle mayonnaise dip that further enhanced the flavour of the mushrooms.
The coastal wings & drumlets ($14) that came drizzled with a sweet and sour sauce were nothing to shout about though. They were simply crispy fried chicken wings with sauce, and I felt they could probably have provided more sauce.
The rosti sausage ($16) was lovingly hand-cut, and was fried to a lightly crisp and buttery texture. I believe this is one rosti that you can actually eat on its own and it would still be tasty!! The sausage that came with it was generously portioned and complemented the rosti nicely.
The cheese burger had to be one of the most MEGA-SIZED portioned burgers I've ever eaten! It was well worth the $26 it cost. Gosh. I ate only half the burger, and I was so super duper full. We wanted to order dessert initially, but I was totally stuffed, all the way to dinner. A 180g wagyu beef patty, with medium doneness, it was pretty tender, with an interestingly crunchy texture, just slightly. It was topped with melted smoked cheddar cheese, sliced mushrooms, bacon strips and sandwiched between a really dense bun. I would have preferred a fluffier bun I guess, this was really way too carbo-heavy for me. I loved the mesclun salad and fries that came with it though! Thick-cut fries, and every piece was evenly salted just right. Even if they weren't all crispy, they tasted good anyway.
Finally, the Good Old fish & chips ($26) were pretty good as well! The white cod fish was fresh, and the batter was quite light. Loved the fries, which was the same as my burger's.
And the marshmallow chocolate ($6) was really interesting! I loved how the fluffy marshmallows added sweetness to the chocolate, I don't think it needed any extra sugar!
Overall a very quaint, hidden-find that was worth the travel :)
Sure, it's set in tranquil and lush environs. It must have taken quite a bit of work to get all that retro stuff into and up in the restaurant. But the food must matter too. It is after all a restaurant.
I ordered a nasi lemak. For $16+, you would expect it to be really worth that. But the rice had nary a hint of coconut. The prawns, as were the chicken drumlets, were only so-so. That is pretty much how wasted my $16+ was - on average fare that I am reminded, could be better spent at Changi Village Hawker Centre's nasi lemak stalls. It was so ordinary for such a price and therefore so disappointing.
The truffle fries were interesting. The condiment of truffle oil and tomato bits was well done and gave the fries a lift. Nothing much to shout about here. They were just fries, best enjoyed while they are still piping hot. $15+ for this was nonetheless too high for dish whose best bit is a saucer of condiment.
Too often, many restaurants get too fixated on conjuring their best dishes and neglect to do the simple things properly. I got a black coffee to see if Coastal Settlement is one of those. It is. The coffee was overly strong. The aftertaste was acrid. I suspect that the beans were not entirely lousy ones but that the machine was not optimised for a decent cup of coffee.
Order mushroom soup at $15. Taste better at other bistro for $5.
Pizza at $25 (8-10inch) . Good topping.
Main course like chicken, pork, fish etc, avg price $25.
Food toward stronger taste,slightly salty.
Ambience ok.
Ambience was great. Service was show. The beef ribs was an absolute waste of money at $38. Small serving, 3/4 of the beef was fat. Veg was salty. Truffle fries was unique but also salty. The service was rather slow and its probably due to the large area that they need to cover.

TV historian Mary Beard names and shames her Twitter troll
- From: Daily Mail
- July 30, 2013
A LEADING historian got her own back on Twitter trolls yesterday after using the site to name and shame a student posting vile abuse on her profile.
Mary Beard retweeted - or forwarded - to her thousands of followers a message from Oliver Rawlings in which he called her a 'filthy old slut' with a revolting sexual comment.
It prompted a flurry of online support for the 58-year-old TV presenter - including an offer from one of her 42,000 followers to pass on the home address of her abuser's mother.
Within minutes, Rawlings, 20, tweeted her a grovelling apology. Professor Beard, a Cambridge University classicist said she decided to retweet the insults because exposing trolls was the best tactic.
"I have increasingly opted for name and shame," she said. "It has to be outed. And maybe his friends can say 'stop'." One of her own followers provided the 'stop' with the offer of the family address.
John Wilson contacted her saying: "Mary, if you would like to send a copy [of] @Rawlings153's tweet to his mother, Joanne, I'd be happy to give you the postal address." Shortly afterwards, Rawlings wrote: "I sincerely apologise for my trolling. I was wrong and very rude.
"Hope this can be forgot and forgiven. Thanks 4 showing me the error of my ways."
Professor Beard, who is currently presenting a BBC2 program on Roman emperor Caligula, accepted his apology with a simple 'thank you', adding: "Sorry about that nasty retweet. But I'm not going to be terrorised." Both she and Rawlings, a former pupil at $14,000-a-year Cheadle Hulme School in Cheshire, deleted the original message he sent.
However, her many followers then turned the tables on Rawlings, berating him for his behaviour until he eventually tweeted: "Please leave me alone I'm sorry." According to Rawlings's Facebook page, he is a student at Nottingham University. Last night there was no answer at his parents' $1.7 million gated home in Altrincham, Cheshire. A neighbour said he lived there with his parents and a younger brother and sister. The neighbour said: "His mum and dad will go spare at him." Rawlings sent his original message while Professor Beard was discussing trolls on Jeremy Vine's show on BBC Radio 2.
He also addressed Vine, saying: "What do you think @TheJeremyVine arrest me? I'm no idiot, I'm not sad Twitter is my voice. And I will say it to your face too." It was not the first time she has been targeted by online bullies. Earlier this year, after appearing on the BBC's Question Time, one described a plan to rape her while others made crude comments on her looks. Professor Beard also congratulated Caroline Criado-Perez for standing up to trolls, saying: "We've shut up and put up too damn long."

I donât get why people get so shook up about internet trollsâ¦. Who actually cares what some little 14 year old thinks about them?
Andy of Sydney of Sydney Posted at 10:17 AM July 30, 2013
Stand up to trolls? Pfft! More like a weapon! I foresee leftwingers posting nasty things about things they hate (e.g., Christianity) and then hiding behind "they are bullying me!" when the inevitable retaliation occurs. Actually, I don't have to foresee it at all. It is already happening!

Scott Remit Ski PolesView Larger Image
Calling all powderhounds. You've been good, not made a mess in the house, and rather than another half-assed storm, the snow gods smiled upon you and dumped in epic proportions. The ridiculously strong and light Scott Remit Ski Poles love a big dump, too. The low swing weight and soft grips make long first-chair-to-last days easy on your arms, though this pole won't ease the long-lasting burn in your thighs. Stupid-strong nylon buckles keep the wide straps resting comfortably on the back of your hands. The diamond-shaped Ice Tips bite into the snow under any conditions, though anything short of knee-high pow makes you head for the hot tub.

"Cosenza, the Capital of Calabria" Cosenza by mapakettle
Cosenza Travel Guide: 13 reviews and 23 photos
Cosenza, the capital of Calabria, has a population of almost 75,000, is situated in the valley of the Crati and Busento rivers, about 500 kms from Rome, and is serviced by regular train service from Naples.
The Region of Calabria is the 'foot' part of Italy, and not to be mistaken for the 'heel' portion. The southern penninsula receives very little rainfall, and the mountainess terrain makes for a very rugged farming environment, for which the people who work the land have adapted with great ingenuity.
Incomes within the region, vary of course, but in general terms, salaries for the male population are about half of what their cousins in the northern parts of Italy receive. This, in spite of the University of Cosenza, which has gained great respect throughout the world during the 25 years it has been operating. Good paying jobs are highly sought after, and in great demand by those who wish to remain a part of the social fabric of Cosenza.
Unfortunately, industry lies to the north, and tourism is very much in it's infancy stages in Cosenza, as it is in many parts of Calabria.
Church is at the heart of Italian culture, and nowhere more so than in the Calabria region, with well over 200 churches, and a population of whom 98% practice the Roman Catholic religion.
Many generations of families reside under one roof in this area of Italy, which makes for very warm and strong family ties. Once again, children are precious, and remain at the centre of any family makeup. The elders are highly respected, and hold a position of importance within the community.
First impressions...Cosenza is much larger than either Ma Kettle or I had originally imagined. Much more modern, well kept, and seemingly lots of new construction everywhere you look. We were prepared for donkey's in the street, woman washing their laundry in the streams, not this new and thriving community. Ma Kettle had kept her visions alive with stories of 'what was', strictly from memories of her mother's early life, relived countless times during meal time in Canada.
We both knew better, but somehow the romantic past is more inviting, than present day life.
Fashion here, holds as much fascination as it does in any other part of Italy, with numerous shoe salons, and the latest colours of scarves or jackets adorning the mannekins within the shop windows. Prices appear to be within reason, and oddly, given the distances involved from the manufacturing cities to the north, many prices in local stores were somewhat lower from similiar outlets in Milan or Florence. Case in point, I purchased a very good pair of sandles made by Valleverde for about 15 euro less than the exact ones I'd priced a few weeks earlier.
We were in this portion of Calabria, for the sole purpose of re-visiting Maria's birth place. Ma Kettle had been born in Cosenza over 50 years before, but had never had the opportunity to return until now.
We met her Mom and sister who flew into the airport in Lamazia from Canada, so it was a reunion with her immediate family as well.
Unfortunately, bus service into Cosenza is spotty at best. We were staying at La Gran Savana hotel in Amantea, and buses left early in the morning (before 8am) in order to service students bound for Cosenza University, and the return bus picked up the same students for the return trip early in the afternoon. (school generally runs six days a week in Italy, with classes letting out about 1pm)
Upon arrival in Cosenza, Ma Kettle and I split up, leaving her mom and sister to visit with the family of friends from Canada whom we did not know, with trusty camera in hand. Unfortunately, two rolls of film have disappeared, so pictures of this town are rather scarce I'm afraid.
We did manage to walk Corso Mazzini, which was in the throes of reconstruction, and from what we could see, will have countless shops lining this strictly pedestrian piazza. The streets were torn up, with new cobbled stone street surfaces being laid, fountains to be hooked up, and benches being set along both sides of the square.
We did mange to cross the bridge of Marco Martire and wander about the church of San Domenico, and caught a glance at the old city portion sitting higher on the hills. However, our bus was departing shortly, so we had no choice but to abandon our quest, and turn to the bus depot, and meet once again with Mom and Sis. An interesting point, when Maria's mom and sister stopped at a bar to ask directions to their friend's house, the shopkeeper asked to see the address, and upon reading the directions, exclaimed in a very surprised voice, "That's my Mom's house"!! What are the chances...
A very quick visit, with little time to learn very much about this interesting destination. The little we did learn, centers around the desire of the citizens of Cosenza to restore the historical parts of the old city, and to reclaim sections that had fallen into disarray over the years. Massive undertakings were underway to reroute the old train lines, consequently erecting new stations, with an eye towards salvaging the crumbling buildings of old. Areas that once had housed ladies of ill-repute were being rebuilt at breakneck speed, and the criminal element was dispersed, and their local hangouts returned to the enjoyment of all.
Ma Kettle and I did enjoy one last visit to Cosenza before leaving Calaberia. Family members drove us about, and indicated various points of interest, and gave us numerous photo ops. Sadly, these are the two rolls of film that are missing. If any of our readers have pictures they would be willing to share, we'd be most grateful.
To sum up, consider a vist to this area of Italy. The food is wonderful, and people are very friendly and warm. Visit, before Tourism changes life as the locals now enjoy it.
- Pros:University of Cosenza, great for the local youth
- Cons:Tourism has yet to make an impact...Bad ??
- In a nutshell:appears to be a prosperous and thriving community

What a lovely time for you and ma in Cosenza...This town looks quite quaint and I hope to have a chance to see it soon.
I'm getting desperate here, trolling through your lesser pages seeking gems! Nice stuff as always.
thankyou for reminding me how lovely this region is. My family & my husbands family still live in & around Cosenza. I last went in 95 & now want to take our son so he can see where his family originated & experience the beautiful scenery from the hilltops

Directors Tracy Tragos and Andrew Droz Palermo guarantee you'll think twice about passing through the town of Rich Hill, Missouri without noticing what it holds. In their feature film drama "Rich Hill," the directing pair examines the American dream in even the most seemingly dreary community, which proves to have much more going for it than meets the eye.
What It's About: An examination of challenges, hopes and dreams of the young residents of a rural American town.
So What It's Really About: Our film is a modern American story about dreams, growing up and
family. Specifically, it's about three boys, who on the outside can look
pretty darn tough. But when you get to know them up-close, you see
their insight, their humor, and their determination to survive. And
despite the isolation and seeming brutality of their circumstances,
their hope for a brighter future persists. They imagine that their hard
work will be rewarded, that the love of family will sustain, and that,
although there is no road map or role model, even they can live the
American dream.
Tell us briefly about yourself. I'm a writer, filmmaker and mother (in no particular order) and
the cousin and collaborator of the wonderful Andrew Droz Palermo. I
like to get really close up in my storytelling and filmmaking - to
reveal the intimate, small, emotional moments that are what ultimately
tie us together. No matter what I do, I'm drawn to themes of family and
belonging -- and all the challenges and circumstances that surround
What was your biggest challenge in completing this film? Independent filmmaking is a hornet's nest of challenges - financial, logistical, emotional. For me, personally, the biggest challenge was balancing the intensity of the work with my responsibility to my daughters and my family. But these challenges brought me closer to the mothers in the film - we shared a bond about how hard it can be to work outside the home, and also to care and nurture your family.
What cameras did you shoot on? We shot on a RED Scarlet.
Did you crowdfund? If so, via what platform. If not, why? Yes, we launched a Kickstarter campaign in September – and the funding was vital in allowing us to finish our film!
What do you want your Sundance audience to take away from your film? Our film is the story of America – and the American dream – as told through the eyes of three boys and their families. At its heart, the film is also an invitation to empathy, to share a connection with those who might otherwise be avoided and dismissed. Out of that place of connectedness and shared humanity, we hope audiences will question how we justify denying resources and social capital to vulnerable families who are, at the most fundamental level, so much like our own.
Have any films inspired you? So many films inspire – whether they are films that are being made alongside ours, like at the Sundance Edit & Story lab this summer – or classics that I revisit time and time again. For this film, "Queen of Versailles" was in some measure an inspiration. Our subjects embrace the American Dream just as in that film – but from a very different social and economic perspective. "Grey Gardens" and "The Graduate" are two personal all-time favorites; "Elephant Man" and "The Deer Hunter" made me want to be a filmmaker.
What's next for you? Andrew and I are both still working
really hard on this film – developing an outreach and engagement
campaign, and partnering with organizations that are working to bring
resources and attention to vulnerable communities and low-income
families. We want our film to be seen widely and plan to be very
involved in sharing how it is introduced to the world - and hope we'll
find a great distributor at Sundance who shares our goals! At the same time, he and I are both developing other films near and dear
to our hearts – I'm writing a script about a woman in the middle of her
life; and Andrew is developing a narrative feature, "One & Two,"
that he hopes to shoot this summer. He and I are both are excited about
the opportunity to collaborate again.
Indiewire invited Sundance Film Festival directors to tell us about their films, including what inspired them, the challenges they faced and what they're doing next. We'll be publishing their responses leading up to the 2014 festival. For profiles, click HERE.

"Isn't that ridiculous that no one's riding that donkey," one person said.
So, the old man told the boy to ride the donkey.
Another group of people passed by and someone said, "That's terrible! Look at that young boy riding that donkey while the old man walks."

The Badger baseball team snapped its 11-game losing streak on Saturday, notching back-to-back wins over Waterford on May 16 at Badger High School. The boys are 3-13 overall.
"It was nice to get back in the win column again," Badger head coach Aaron Zweifel said.
Badger won 12-11 in the first game of the doubleheader and scored 9 of their runs in the bottom of the seventh inning.
"No one expects you to come back from 8 runs down in half an inning," Zweifel said.
And that took some pressure off the guys.
Waterford made a pitching change in the middle of the seventh.
Their starting pitcher, Dylan Malecki, had been rolling — he gave up only 3 hits and 3 runs in six innings — and up 8 runs with a half inning to play was a good opportunity for the opposing coach to get young pitchers some experience. The switch worked in Badger's favor. Badger loaded the bases off two errors and a walk. Then Waterford walked in a run.
"You got bases loaded with nobody out and you've already scored a run," Zweifel said of the inning. "I think at that point (the boys) just said, 'hey, lets just go for it, we've got nothing to lose here.' No one expects you to win, it's not a great position to be in, but it's kind of a stress-free situation to be in."
The score was 11-4 Waterford and Badger's Donald Schnurer struck out looking before Levi Burnette lined out to left field. There were two outs and three men on base. And the Badgers rallied.
John Laskowski hit a line drive single to right and scored Alex Morland. Derek Denecke singled to left and scored Tom Ritzman.
Clint Ugolini doubled to left and scored Laskowski and Denecke.
Bryant Nugent walked and Alex Morland brought Ugolini and Nugent home off a double to right.
The Badgers tied the game 11-11 and Colton Tisch stepped up to the plate. He fouled away the first pitch, and then got a hold of the second, hitting a hard ground ball to center field to score Morland on a walk-off single.
"It's one of those contagious things," Zweifel said. "Confidence is contagious and hitting is contagious ... It was crazy. You could kind of see them tightening up. It was kind of the perfect storm."
"I've never seen anything like it."
In game two, Badger kept the momentum going with a 4-2 victory.
"We were a totally different team," Zweifel said. "We were confident. We were just playing baseball. I'm sure it's probably been weighing on their minds, losing all those games in a row. They just kinda let it go that second game.
"John Laskowski pitched an amazing game. We played great defense behind them, and we had some timely hits, and it was just a great baseball game.
"So yeah, it was a lot of fun on Friday."
In a season characterized by Badger's struggles at the plate, last week was a welcome change of pace — Badger scored 27 runs in their past three games, which includes a 11-7 loss to Elkhorn on May 15. In 12 games between April 5 and May 13, Badger scored a total of 20 runs.
"I think slowly over the last few games it's been starting to come together offensively for us," Zweifel said.
Zweifel said that the first six and a half innings of game one against Waterford were a "carbon copy" of all the things that had been going wrong this season — errors, walks, beans and batting woes terrorized the team.
"But the last half inning was just unbelievable," Zweifel said.
He felt the boys had broken through, and with plenty of games left to play — Badger has seven remaining before the playoffs, including four conference games. It's not enough time to salvage a winning season, but it is enough time to get hot before post-season play.
"I told (the team), the first state tournament I went to in high school, we were 4-12 going into the tournament and we lost in the state championship," Zweifel said. "All you've got to do is get hot at the right time and start believing. It was fun to see them in that second game come out and just play baseball. And there were no nerves, they were just playing and having a good time and they were alive and talking more than they have been. It was kind of more of what we had expected going into the year."
Badger lost 7-6 to Janesville Craig on Monday night. The results of Tuesday night's game against Westosha Central were not available by Regional News deadline. Badger will play Westosha again on May 22 in Westosha at 4:30 p.m.
Zweifel said he's been particularly happy with the way his seniors have kept the team together this season.
"They've really worked hard to build team chemistry and it's tough to maintain that when things are going as bad as they are in the field," Zweifel said.
And he anticipates tough matchups for the rest of the season.
"Westosha is the surprise of the year in the conference," Zweifel said. Westosha has emerged as one of the top two Southern lakes teams.
"This is a big week for us for sure," Zweifel said. "I mean, realistically we've been out of the conference race here for a while, but just to keep that confidence going, to keep that mentality, that mindset going that they have right now I think is big."
And it might help them make a run in the playoffs.

Fix your teeth the traditional way with metal fixed braces
Traditional metal fixed braces have been in use for over 100 years and can be used to treat any orthodontic problem. They work by attaching small brackets to your teeth which are connected by an arch wire. A series of different sized wires are used which gradually move your teeth into place.
At The Brace Orthodontic Practice in London this is one of the most cost-effective options we offer and is suitable for almost every situation.
The only disadvantage of this type of brace is its appearance. It is the least discreet of all the braces we offer and can be off putting to many adults who want to avoid the teenager look. If you are looking for a more discreet way to straighten your teeth, we also offer Clarity Ceramic Fixed Braces which are tooth coloured.
If you would like to find out if metal fixed braces could work for you, contact us to book your consultation

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Kansas City Royals added a pair of free agents Tuesday, agreeing to a $5 million, two-year contract with reliever Scott Sullivan and a $1 million, one-year deal with outfielder Matt Stairs.
And Kansas City isn't done, yet. Benito Santiago and the Royals were close to agreement on a $4.3 million, two-year contract.
Earlier, the Royals re-signed four key players who played a role in their surprising 2003 season, when they contended until the final week: third baseman Joe Randa, starter Brian Anderson and relievers Jason Grimsley and Curtis Leskanic.
Devil Rays make offer to Carl Everett
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Free agent outfielder Carl Everett received a contract proposal Tuesday from the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, who think they can improve significantly by adding a power hitter.
Devil Rays general manager Chuck LaMar declined to discuss specifics of the offer. Everett earned $9.15 million last season with the Texas Rangers and Chicago White Sox.

Traffic Talk: Merging traffic into one lane requires some cooperation
It happens every day, but that still doesn't make it right.
As you're on a four-lane road, you see the signs that say one lane in your direction of travel is closed ahead. The signs are well in advance of the closure, providing all drivers with ample time to merge into a single lane.
But there always are those who wait until the last possible instance before attempting to squeeze or bully their way into the line. Some drivers play nice and let them in, but others make it clear they won't do so.
So who's right?
Courtesy, on the part of the driver on either side, can set the pace. Getting vehicles into one lane safely requires a little cooperation.
One of the most common problem areas is where there is a construction zone. The Oklahoma Statutes — Title 47 (Motor Vehicles), Chapter 11 (Rules of the Road), Section 11-1302 (Maintenance and Construction Zones) — gives specifics to be aware of when you encounter a construction zone, particularly these areas:
"C. Whenever construction, repair and maintenance of any highway is being performed under traffic, the governing body having jurisdiction over the highway shall erect, or cause to be erected, traffic-control devices to warn and guide the public. Each person using the highway shall obey all signs, signals, markings, flagmen or other traffic-control devices which are placed to regulate, control, and guide traffic through the construction or maintenance area."
Here's where the "merge now" comes into play:
"D. The "Merge Now" traffic-control device that is used to warn and guide the public using the highway to merge, shall be located no greater than one (1) mile nor less than one thousand five hundred (1,500) feet in advance of the highway construction or maintenance area. Whenever any traffic-control device requires traffic to merge due to the closure of a section or lane of highway, the merge shall be completed:
"1. As soon as practicable after passing the traffic-control device; and
"2. Without passing any other traffic proceeding in the same direction. ... "
Did you catch No. 2? Read it again.
Of course, there are areas other than construction zones where a lane ends and traffic must merge. But there's no sense trying to pass as many other vehicles as possible, waiting until the closed part of the lane is imminent, then executing a "zipper merge" at that point. It's both rude and irresponsible.
There's an easy way for everyone to drive through a potential problem. How about the every-other-one method?
The idea is to avoid a problem, not create one.
In another area ...
I take this exit (Council Road off Interstate 40 westbound) every day multiple times. It has two right turn lanes. People always go from the inside turn lane to the far left lane of Council Road so they can get to the McDonald's. Shouldn't people know by now how to correctly make a right-hand turn and not run across other lanes of traffic?
Yes, they should, Matt. But you know as well as I do, that there are drivers who simply choose to do it their way, no matter how dangerous that is.
You change lanes when it is safe to do so and indicating your intention by signaling. Just barreling across lanes is not the way to go.
By the way ...
A reader recently "corrected" me for saying "turn signals." She said: "The proper wording is 'blinkers,' or 'turn indicators,' but NOT, ABSOLUTELY NOT 'turn signals.'"
I remember hearing "blinkers" when I was growing up, years before I started driving, but I hadn't heard it for many years.
"Turn indicators" I'm OK with, because that essentially is what they are.
"Turn signals," the reader said, "are those lights that tell you when you can or can't turn."
One thing was for sure. She agreed she knew right away what part of the car I was talking about.
Enjoy your week and drive safely.

I'm hoping you'll all pray for my baby. He was born with a collapsed lung, and up until now, it's looked like he's getting better, but he coded about an hour ago as his other lung collapsed and now he has a chest tube. The doctors don't think he's going to make it. When I asked, they gave me the, "We'll do the best we can" speech. I am so scared. I don't want to lose this part of me who's only been here for such a brief amount of time.
UPDATE 6/29: Thank you for all of your positive thoughts and prayers. Kellen was moved to a level 3 NICU at the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles in the middle of the night. He was not getting any oxygen to his organs. He is responding well to treatment so far, but we've all got a long road ahead of us. Please keep us in your thoughts and take every minute you can to appreciate your pregnancy and your babies. You never know when something may unexpectedly happen.
UPDATE 6/30: Kellen was put on ECMO yesterday afternoon, which is a machine that takes the blood out of his body, oxygenates it, then puts it back in so he does not have to breath. It will give him a chance for his lungs to heal and for the doctors to see if there's any underlying cause. There are major risks, but it had to be done to save his life. So, we're still waiting to see what will happen, but he's alive and fighting, so we're hopeful that with enough treatment, he'll make it through in time.
UPDATE 7/5: Kellen came off ECMO yesterday after only 5 days. It's a great sign that he is doing so well. He's been on only a ventilator for the last 12 hours with no problems to report. The nurse we called this morning even mentioned that he may only need the ventilator for a couple of days. We've still got a long road of oxygen therapy and dealing with any intestinal problems from the hypoxia once he's off the ventilator, but for now, he's doing well. Thank you again for all of your prayers and positive thoughts. It's still hard to say what will happen, but he's doing better every day so far.
UPDATE 7/13: Kellen is doing amazingly well 2 weeks after all this started. He has been off the ventilator for a while and is back at our community hospital. He's getting room air through a cannula to support his breathing and the oxygen levels can be turned up if he needs more. Kellen has been getting tube feedings of my breastmilk for about a week now and today he started doing bottle feedings for a portion of each meal, so the intestinal problems are behind us. We still have some challenges to face. Kellen's lungs are still healing. His heart is slightly enlarged from having to work so hard to make up for the lungs not functioning properly. And his kidneys are slightly distended, though this is a secondary concern because his urine output is very good. He also picked up a bit of staph bacteria in the hospital, but that is being addressed with antibiotics. It's a blessing and a miracle that he's made it this far. We're hopeful that given a few more weeks, he will get better.

Quick-Change JetsWritten by Jeff Smith on February 1, 1997 New Speed Blocks Make Jet Changes Too Easy
We hot rodders are a lazy lot. We're always looking for ways to make things easier. In the movie Two Lane Blacktop, the late Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson played a mechanic who spent the entire movie changing jets in the twin Holley carburetors of a big-block-powered '55 Chevy. If he had had a set of Brad Urban's Carburetor Shop Speed Blocks, he might have had more time to go after the girl in the movie.
For the rest of us, Holley carburetor jet changes are a fact of life. You drain the fuel from the float bowl (spilling fuel all over your intake manifold), remove the bowl, change the jets, replace the bowl and then replay the routine for the secondary side. If you're exceptionally gifted, the gaskets tear and you spend half an hour scraping gaskets off the bowl and the metering block. If you haven't been through this drill a few dozen times, don't count yourself as a true hot rodder.
Brad Urban has probably changed more carburetor jets than the rest of us combined. After a few thousand repeats of this brain-numbing procedure, he began to think there had to be a better way. Enlisting the help of compatriot Louie Hammel, the two developed the Speed Block, a fully CNC-machined aluminum metering block that duplicates a standard Holley metering block, but with a high-speed twist
Instead of mounting the jet in the metering block, Hammel created a brass cartridge that screws in from the top of the block. The bottom of the cartridge holds the jet in place inside the metering block in roughly the same location as the original Holley design. The beauty of this is that the cartridge can be removed from the Speed Block without removing the float bowl. This makes for incredibly quick jet changes.
Now you no longer have to drain the float bowl to make jet changes, which also means no more spilled fuel over a hot intake manifold. This dramatically reduces the risk of fire.
Taking this one step further, it's possible to change the jets in the carburetor even when the engine is running. Since the idle feed restriction limits the amount of fuel delivered to the idle circuit, there's no change to idle quality if you remove the jet cartridge from the Speed Block while the engine is running. We've tried this on a couple of cars, and it works just as Urban claims. Now that we've played with the Speed Blocks, we're definitely spoiled. We'll certainly never do another dyno test without them.
Over the years, Holley has created several different metering blocks for the 2300 two-bbl, 4150 four-bbl, 4160 four-bbl and Dominator Holley carburetors. Speed Blocks are available for all these applications, including alcohol carbs. You can even use a primary metering Speed Block on the secondary side of any Holley for four-hole idle control with a modification to the throttle plates that Brad Urban's Carburetor Shop can perform for you. The Speed Blocks retail for slightly less than $100 each.
For drag racers, circle burners or street enthusiasts who are looking for ways to make their lives simpler, the new Speed Blocks are the quick-change ticket for any Holley carburetor.

The Speed Block is a direct replacement for the original Holley metering block. With the Speed Block, the jets are easily replaced without removing the float bowl. In fact, the jets can be changed, as shown here, without even shutting down the engine. Note the jet positioned at the bottom of the cartridge.This tight view shows the cartridge removed from the Speed Block. The three holes drilled into the cartridge are the same diameter as the main well-holes in a standard Holley metering block. To make jet changes even quicker, have spare cartridges fitted with the proper jets ready to replace.Fitted with twin Speed Blocks, this 3310 Holley is ready for some ultraquick jet changes. In a quickie test, we were able to change jets in all four corners of this Holley in less than a minute.One option for the Speed Block is the knurled idle-mixture screw called the Speed Screw. This allows you to adjust the idle mixture without a screwdriver. The tapered portion of the Speed Screw is a duplicate of the stock Holley idle-mixture screw.This view of the Speed Block (foreground) compared to the standard Holley metering block (background) illustrates that the stock passages for the idle circuit, the main circuit, the power valve and the air bleeds are all duplicated in the Speed Block. Changing to Speed Blocks is a simple remove-and-replace operation.
