Joe Philbin wouldn't tell reporters who's starting at quarterback this week so Ryan Tannehill did
It's clear that Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin isn't sold on Ryan Tannehill as his franchise quarterback. In fact, after the Chiefs dismantled the Dolphins 35-14 in Week 3, Philbin reportedly discussed benching Tannehill in favor of Matt Moore.
Jay Gruden is leaving the door open for Kirk Cousins to be his permanent starter

Jerry Jones: Morris Claiborne isn't what we hoped for
Since Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has refused to hire a GM, he gets to play the role of owner/GM. And since he's in both roles, it's rare that you hear Jones acknowledge that he made a mistake in his GM role.

Among some of the noteworthy items on the 2006 Black List that received the least number of votes (or wasn't read by enough prod co. insiders) we find Martin McDonagh's In Bruges which received 7 votes and picking up a pair of votes we have: Lewis Colick's The Fighter which I imagine is the same project as the one that is receiving it's Oscar bid release next week --- it has gone through many rewrites and writers. We also have the first screenplay version for Life of Pi which was penned by Jean-Pierre Jeunet & Guillame Laurent, Peter Morgan's Frost/Nixon which I imagine not many folks had the chance to read and Ron Harwood's Diving Bell & The Butterfly.

Anna Kendrick has played Bella Swan's bestie in the "Twilight" movies and George Clooney's high-strung co-worker and traveling companion in "Up in the Air." But as far as we know, she's never shot blue lasers out of her palm to collect the souls of various wicked dudes around L.A. That's exactly what she does in the "Supervideo" below, which features the LCD Soundsystem song "Pow Pow" and is directed by "Street Kings" helmer David Ayer. We don't know exactly why she's doing this, but it sure is fun to watch.

The cult of celebrity gets tackled in the latest visually arresting video supervideo for "Pow Pow" by LCD Soundsystem. Directed by David Ayer ("Harsh Times," "Street Kings"), the video stars Anna Kendrick ("Up In The Air") as a sort of shape-shifting celebrity surrounded by numerous bodyguards, trying to survive the limelight. Speaking to MTV about the video, Ayer explains the message of the clip saying, "No matter how big you are, how important you are in this temporal world of ours, there's somebody more important.

Warner Bros. Pictures has released a slew of new photos from Clint Eastwood's Hereafter. Anyone can tell you I was a big, enthusiastic fan of Invictus. (Mostly due to the fact that my son plays Rugby.) THR's Kurt Honeycutt wrote in his review of Hereafter from the Toronto International Film Festival, "Another strong and unexpected drama from Clint Eastwood."
Oscar® winner Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting, Invictus) stars in Hereafter, directed by Academy Award® winner Clint Eastwood (Million Dollar Baby, Unforgiven) from a screenplay by two time Oscar® nominee Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon, The Queen).

While Takers eked out a weekend victory over The Last Exorcism, it played to substantially larger crowds throughout the week, widening the gap. The Expendables and Eat Pray Love settled for third and fourth place on typical declines, The Other Guys rounded out the Top Five for the second week in a row, and Avatar: Special Edition was largely ignored. Overall box office was off around five percent from last year, when The Final Destination had a series-best $35.1 million start.Takers earned $26.5 million in its first seven days, putting it $1.7 million ahead of The Last Exorcism. This was a marked improvement over similar movies Dead Presidents, Atl, Street Kings and Armored, though it lagged behind The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3. The Last Exorcism debuted to $24.8 million, which was slightly lower than The Haunting in Connecticut but a bit higher than The Unborn among recent supernatural horror movies. Monday-through-Friday »

28 August 2010 3:47 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
On Friday, new releases The Last Exorcism and Takers dominated the chart with solid returns, Avatar added a bit more to its coffers with a special edition relaunch, and the holdovers saw largely standard declines. The Last Exorcism grabbed an estimated $9.4 million on approximately 3,500 screens at 2,874 locations (the gross included around $750,000 from its midnight opening). That was better than Exorcist: The Beginning but less than The Exorcism of Emily Rose, which was the last expressly exorcism-themed movie and started at $11.3 million back in 2005. Last Exorcism's opening attendance was also behind The Haunting in Connecticut and The Amityville Horror (2005) but greater than The Unborn (2009). Takers scored an estimated $7.5 million on close to 2,600 screens at 2,206 locations, which was above par for a heist picture. It made more in a single day than Armored did in its entire first weekend, and it had a significantly bigger opening day than The Losers, Street Kings and Brooklyn's Finest. »

For the penultimate weekend of the summer, The Last Exorcism aims to possess first place with an estimated 3,500 screens at 2,874 locations, while Takers busts in on around 2,600 screens at 2,206 locations. Avatar: Special Edition relaunches at 812 locations, including 125 IMAX venues, and Get Low leaps to a near-nationwide 570 locations. Though relatively unheralded, exorcism (and haunting) movies consistently strike a chord with certain sects of society, and The Last Exorcism is well-primed to capitalize, adding a documentary/found footage angle in the vein of Paranormal Activity, Quarantine and The Fourth Kind. Last Exorcism marks the first expressly exorcism-themed movie since The Exorcism of Emily Rose in 2005, and its marketing has hit the expected exorcism notes. Exorcism of Emily Rose had a big $30.1 million in its early September launch, while Exorcist: The Beginning nabbed $18.1 million in its Aug. 2004 debut. Late August has also been a prime time for other horror movies, including The Final Destination »

Would Arnie and Sly be proud? Two of their films are getting modern updates and we know who is attached to star. The first, a Commando remake from 20th Century Fox is looking at Avatar and Clash of the Titans star Sam Worthington to step into the boots of Matrix. [Production Weekly (via NewsinFilm)]
We reported on this news in April when they hired David Ayer (Harsh Times, Street Kings) to write and direct. He will put a "real-world" spin on the original premise of "a retired elite special forces operative sees his daughter kidnapped and is told she'll die unless he gets on a plane and kills the rival of a nasty exiled dictator."
Back then it was reported an unknown star will be "less brawny, but more skilled in covert tactics and weaponry." I wouldn't exactly call Worthington unknown, as he has had a ridiculously fast rise to blockbuster fame. »

According to Production Weekly (via NewsinFilm), "Avatar" star Sam Worthington is the top pick to star in the remake of Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1985 action film "Commando." The actor is apparently very interested, and director David Ayer (Street Kings, Harsh Times) will helm and pen the script, which will be a "real world" spin on the main character, retired elite special forces operative who sees his daughter kidnapped and is told she'll die unless he gets on a plane and kills the rival of a nasty exiled dictator. When the remake was announced back in April, it was said that the actor who will replace Schwarzenegger will be less brawny, but more skilled in covert tactics and weaponry. At one point Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was rumored to step into the role, but he clearly doesn't fit the description. »

Back in February 2009, we first heard that producer Neil H. Moritz was developing a remake of Total Recall for Columbia Pictures.
Columbia has now announced that Len Wiseman (Underworld, Live Free or Die Hard) is in final negotiations to direct the film, described as a "new, contemporised adaptation."
The 1990 original, based on the Philip K. Dick short story We Can Remember It For You Wholesale, starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as a construction worker who travels to Mars in search of his true identity after finding out he was previously a secret agent.
Wiseman said: "I've always been fascinated with Philip K. Dick's short story, and I'm excited at the prospect of diving even deeper into the world it evokes and the questions it asks. I love that the most crucial mystery our character is trying to solve is the one of his own soul."

It's been over a year since we heard screenwriter Kurt Wimmer (Equilibrium, Street Kings) was hired to pen the remake of Total Recall, or rather, a new adaptation of Philip K. Dick's story We Can Remember It for You Wholesale. But today comes the first real development on that project in a very long time as Columbia Pictures has officially announced via press release (read here) that Len Wiseman (Live Free or Die Hard, Underworld) will direct this new, contemporary adaptation. For those of you who were already lamenting the fact that Total Recall was being remade, I can't really see this news changing anybody's mind right now. Here's some fluffy PR quotes to try and put your mind at ease. Producer Neal H. Moritz says: "I have been trying for years to work with Len and fortunately we finally found a great project that he loves as much »

Exclusive: Management/production companies 3 Arts and Untitled Entertainment are in merger talks. I'm not certain they are going to join forces, but they are exploring it seriously. The potential mix of assets of the two companies is intriguing. 3 Arts--run by Erwin Stoff, Michael Rotenberg, Howard Klein, David Miner and Dave Becky--is particularly strong in the producing department. On the TV side, that includes 30 Rock, The Office, Parks and Recreation, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, HBO's Bored to Death, and the FX comedy Louie. Among the features is I Am Legend, Street Kings, and All You Need Is Kill, the latter a priority project at Warner Bros that just got Doug Liman aboard to direct. Untitled, which is run by Jason Weinberg, Stephanie Simon, Guy Oseary, Gene Parseghian and Johnnie Planco, has a strong talent list that include Daniel Day-Lewis, Hilary Swank, Alex Rodriguez, Madonna, Naomi Watts, David Caruso, »

Jane Goldman is bringing some Kick-Ass style to the script for X-Men: First Class, which is set to hit cinemas in June 3, 2011.
The screenwriter's husband, TV and radio presenter Jonathan Ross, revealed the news on his Twitter page.
The mutant prequel is being directed by Matthew Vaughn, with whom Jane (pictured) previously collaborated on Stardust and Kick-Ass. She was also a producer on the latter.
Ross wrote: "The wife is away writing X-Men 4 so I am off to bed with little Sweeney alone. He will keep my feet warm and my spirits high."
In a further tweet, he clarified: "Also, for those who need to know, my wife Is currently writing X-Men: First Class. It's just referred to as X-Men 4 around the house..."
He later added: "I am afraid I better not answer any more queries re X-Men: First Class for fear of spoilers and also possible divorce. Thank you. »

Well, it's finally official... apes will be coming back to the big screen in 2011. After years of rumours about a possible Planet of the Apes prequel [1] in development, 20th Century Fox announced this week that they have set a June 24th, 2011 release date for the new film, which is tentatively titled Rise of the Apes. As previously announced [2], Rupert Wyatt (The Escapist) will direct from a script by Amanda Silver and Rick Jaffa (The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, The Relic). No word on whether or not elements of rewrites by Jamie Moss (Street Kings) or Scott Frank (Minority Report) will also be used. The interesting thing here is that for the first time, a Planet of the Apes movie will not use live actors in costume to play the apes themselves. Instead, the characters will be 100% CGI creations from Weta Digital. The movie will be an origin story for the race of intelligent apes, »

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is having the best week ever. He turned 28 on Monday, and his company goes public later this week.
The timing couldn't be better for him to be immortalized in song.
CDZA, a comedy troupe that performs "musical video experiments," launched a musical Tuesday to chronologically document the history of Zuckerberg and his social network.
In 12 parts and just under four minutes, three bubbly blonde singers and a pianist vocalize the founder's past eight years, from Harvard to the launch of the Facebook IPO. The musical variety spans the gamut of showtunes, from the melodies of West Side Story to Annie Get Your Gun.
Founded seven months ago, CDZA promises a new experimental musical every Tuesday. (Something to keep us entertained between Scumbag Thursdays, perhaps?)
The troupe's previous two videos, "History of Lyrics That Aren't Lyrics" and "History of Whistling," suggest the group with continue with their efforts to document the past through song.

In a surprising breach of normal etiquette, President Barack Obama's Rose Garden remarks on Friday were interrupted by heckling from reporter Neil Munro of the website Daily Caller, where conservative commentator Tucker Carlson is the editor-in-chief. Obama, announcing a change … Continue reading

InterlinkONE CEO John Foley shares his first drupa experience
Published on May 29, 2012
John Foley, CEO of InterlinkONE, talks to Cary Sherburne about his first experience with drupa. John came to Germany to see what other solutions were out there other than printing for service providers. John and Cary also get into the changing nature of communications and what drupa might look like in 20 years.
Cary Sherburne: Hi, I'm Cary Sherburne, Senior Editor at WhatTheyThink and I'm here with John Foley, who's CEO of InterlinkONE. Welcome.
John Foley: Thank you. Hi, Cary.
Cary Sherburne: Good to see you.
John Foley: Thanks for having me.
Cary Sherburne: Thanks for being here.
John Foley: Again.
Cary Sherburne: It's always great to talk to you, and you know we're here at Drupa, which is what 1.8 million square feet of mostly big iron.
John Foley: Yes.
Cary Sherburne: In 19 buildings, something like that, and you're a software guy. So walking around here, what do you think?
John Foley: Well I posted some stuff on social yesterday. First of all, it's kind of amazing to me. I've never been to Drupa. So to see all the halls and how big they are, some of the size of the booths are kind of --
Cary Sherburne: Overwhelming.
John Foley: They're overwhelming. It's interesting, right. And I actually went backwards yesterday. I started from 17 and worked down, and it was all in the big iron things. So it's not just that I'm a software guy; yes, I do. But I'm really -- I came here on a mission and that's really to see what solutions beyond just printing, believe it or not, would actually help these service providers and after I got through the first four or five halls I was just thinking to myself, wow, you know, this equipment that they have today, you know, based on how I see people using our phones and how my own children connect. My 26-year-old came to with. I just -- the future is I don't think we'll come back and see 19 halls full of this big equipment. You might come back and have all kinds of new alternative services; that's what I -- whether it's marketing services, some kind of solutions but it's amazing.
Cary Sherburne: Ten years from now.
John Foley: Ten years I actually said, 20 years from now if there's two halls here I'll be shocked, you know. And I know that's not what everybody wants to hear in the print industry. Maybe they'll be 17 if we've got halls full of printing equipment and 15 halls full of marketing services that they'll selling; I think that might be a possibility.
Cary Sherburne: And data, big data.
John Foley: Yeah. Big data, anything like that would be -- something that augments their business today, but it's just the way we communicate has changed and we talked a little bit earlier about geographical. It's true. So some countries will tend to use more digital -- I mean, you know...
Cary Sherburne: More print.
John Foley: Right? More print and less on the phone, but then...
Cary Sherburne: It's going to leap frog.
John Foley: Exactly. That's my two cents on it.
Cary Sherburne: And what does your son think about all this.
John Foley: So I have three boys, right. It's just the way they communicate.
Cary Sherburne: Yeah.
John Foley: I mean, I was speaking the other day on business transformation and I actually asked the question, you know, how many people have teenagers and, I don't know, maybe ten out of 200 people raised their hand. Not that many. Maybe 20. Anyways, the question was how many of those teenagers go to the mailbox and get the mail. Well nobody raised their hand because they don't; they communicate in a totally different way than we ever did.
Cary Sherburne: How many of those will ever even answer their phone? You have to text them.
John Foley: Right. You got to text them. There was just a report out the other day that they're talking about -- actually, it was a few months ago -- by 2004, there'll be more Internet transactions...
Cary Sherburne: 2014?
John Foley: 2014. Yeah, I was going backwards, right. 2014 will have more Internet transactions on mobile devices than we will on our PCs and our desktops. That's amazing.
Cary Sherburne: Yeah.
John Foley: And it's growing fast, and I think one of the main reasons, I think, especially with adoption of mobile phones is because they're getting cheaper. Once the new one comes out, the other one's affordable and you can get started. I think the fastest growing market on the mobile device is now too I think is in the 40 to 55 range. So they're all getting on board.
Cary Sherburne: And now near field communications is the next big thing.
John Foley: Yeah, I love that. You know, I've been talking about that for a long period of time; we're restricted by the hardware, but I think that that'll all come along and then we'll have, again, for the print industry, once they learn how to take the chips and imbed them in paper and underneath the coatings and the substrates, it'll be a way for them to -- and I think they should embrace that now.
Cary Sherburne: So I don't know about you but I'm going to come back to Drupa 2032 and find out whether your predictions are right.
John Foley: All right. Good.

Pavan Kriplani who shot to fame with Ragini MMS is back with yet another horror film, Darr@The Mall, starring Jimmy Sheirgill.
One look at the trailer of Darr@The Mall and it is safe to say that it lacks the horror and is not a patch to the previous film from the same director. The entire film looks dark and dingy and one can see lots of scenes being lifted for Hollywood flicks. It actually reminds me of Mirrors 2, a 2010 American horror film which is a sequel to the 2008 film Mirrors.
Jimmy Sheirgill, who plays a mall security head in Darr@The Mall, says that shooting for the movie took a toll on the team's health, but he is sure that the movie will make its mark as a one of the best horror films made in Bollywood.
"This was one of the toughest films to shoot for me as it was mostly shot at nights and it took a major toll on our health. Not only this, the location of the shoot was actually eerie, which added to the bunch of challenges that we had to face while shooting for 'Darr@The Mall," Jimmy says.
For most part of the shoot, the unit had to be awake all nights and once the sun rose, they could sleep just for a couple of hours, as they had to follow their daily routine. Needless to say, this started affecting their body cycles and health. All we can hope is that their hard work pays off.
According to Pavan Kriplani, "Ever since I was a kid, I have been a fan of the horror genre and as a director it has always been my ambition to make classy horror films. After Ragini MMS, I felt that there is more to explore as far as horror films are concerned and Darr@ The Mall is my honest attempt to make a horror flick in the vein of classic Hollywood scare fares like The Exorcist and The Shining, which I have grown up watching."
Set for release on February 21, 2014 Darr@The Mall, the movie has music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, while Ganesh Hedge has choreographed the dance numbers.
Produced by MSM Motion Pictures and Contiloe Entertainment Productions, the film also features actors like Arif Zakaria, Asif Barsa, Neeraj Sood, Nushrat Bharucha, Nivedita Bhattacharya, Shraddha Kaul and Jimmy Sheirgill.

I received this product recently and am very pleased. I use it pretty much all day and all night. It's very easy to use and is almost completely silent. I really like the fact that I can choose between cool and warm mist. I've only been using it on the cool setting so far but have tried the warm setting once and was glad to learn that the water doesn't get boiling hot. It does a nice job of keeping my bedroom comfy. Best part is that I can set it to whatever humidity level I want and just leave it to do its job. Although a bit spendy, this humidifier is much better than some of the bargain ones I've bought in the past.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Same
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Great
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Ok
This is a nice humidifier and is providing relief to my mom who lives in Vegas (think hot hot and dry). Design is very cool and not as "appliance-y" like other ones out there. She likes the option of warm and cold mist. So far, so good!!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Same
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Awesome
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Accurate
Will relieve waking up dry. Needs to be refilled nightly, and has never really satisfied, but I maybe using it in too big of a room.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Quality product good for rooms under 100 sqft
works produces a large amount of humidity
If you are looking for a humidifier....this is it. I tell people who are starting to get a cold or have one...to use a humidifier by their bed.....its a tried and true intervention. Excellent design and works great
you have to put the water tank upside down to put it in, difficult to do without spilling water
this unit is a little bit noisy during operation, but i like the way it looks and it functions well. i only use distilled water so it stays clean. it's pretty heavy, which is OK from a not getting knocked over standpoint, but makes it a little harder to fill. also, when it hits empty, it's very insistent (beeping) about being turned off or re-filled. this can be very annoying if it happens while you're sleeping. overall a good product though
I've only had this product for 2 weeks but have used it in several rooms during this time. It is aesthestically beautiful to the eye and looks like modern art, but the beauty may come at a price because it is a bit bulky and dense to carry despite it's small size and it takes very little movement to produce leaks. It does a great job at keeping humidity levels between 30-35% and it is pretty quiet. The mist output gradually controls humidity then sustains it, if you're lookin for a big room powerhouse this is not it. I hope this ultrasonic lasts longer than my discontinued Shaper Image (4 months), but based on my experience the life of the product is directly tied to how carefully the water container is reattached to the unit and the surface it is placed on.
This humidifier is perfect for the bedroom: - warm mist option - super quiet - set it and forget it humidity control - runs all night on a single tank It's also very simple to set up and operate. The digital display is nice too - I can easily see it if I need to change the settings overnight. All told, this is a darn near perfect humidifier. The only request I can make is that I wish it had a remote. Otherwise, it's aces.
VERY heavy and hard to maneuver. It leaked from somewhere underneath about 3 months after I started using it. Too much hassle to return for refund. I just got rid of it. Very disappointed. I would NOT recommend this humidifier.
This humidifier is so easy to use and clean. It can sometimes gets a little noisy which usually means I need to lift the tank up for a second and then place it back in. I like that it tells you how humid the surrounding air is.
Smaller than I expected, but very effective.
I bought this for my sons apt. in CT where the heat has to be on a lot, it works well but you have to refill it a lot and it doesn't put moisture out consistently. Might try a different one.
Perfect for the living room. I'm in such dry conditions. Its perfect.
Had this humidifier for about 2 years and decided to leave a review. This is by far the best humidifier i have ever purchased. It's super quiet and the do not be annoyed by the beeping noise as everyone states. I love that it tells me that it has run out of water, compared too leaving an empty tank plugged in all night and causes problems to the device. It's super easy to clean, and so easy to control. By far the best i have bought!
A little steam comes leaking out of the spout and immediately falls to the floor. Useless.
It gets very dry here in the Winter. My son would get bloody noses and I would have cracked dry skin and lips. After using this humidifier my son no longer had bloody noses during the night and my skin and lips were much better.
I have this humidifier in my bedroom and it's great. It's a bit tricky to figure out all the settings to avoid beeping, but once you do, it's perfect. Only negative is that you need to fill it everyday.
love it but i bought it for the master bedroom but apparently the master is too big for it :(

Peter McConnon and Timothy Lyons of hedge fund Paron Capital Management have been awarded damages of $35 million by the Delaware Court of Chancery which ruled that their former partner, James Crombie, had lied about his track record.
McConnon and Lyons founded Paron with Crombie who claimed to have developed highly successful futures trading software. The Court found "that Crombie committed fraud and breached his fiduciary duties to the plaintiffs and the Company by making false statements of fact about his program, his investment track record, and his personal financial situation."
The Court also found that McConnon and Lyons had done "extensive" due diligence on Crombie, including reviewing a verifier's report prepared by an independent hedge fund accounting firm. The partners also commissioned Rothstein Kass to independently verify Crombie's historical trading performance.
Neither Rothstein Kass nor the independent accounting firm—who were not parties in the case against Crombie—were accused of or found liable for any wrongdoing.
By the time Crombie's forgery was discovered, "Rothstein's verification" had been used in marketing materials Paron had sent to over 100 client contacts.
The Court held that Crombie's fraud had derailed McConnon's and Lyons's "highly successful" careers in the financial services industry and that "plaintiffs are entitled to extensive damages against Crombie based on their lost future earnings and other costs associated with the formation and operation of Paron."

Hi there :)
I often travel for small weekend holidays, as well as visit family & friends around the world- so Air BnB is a perfect website for me! On my destinations, I'm the exploring type- I love going to heritage sites, eating lots of local food, exploring museums, going for walks and hikes.
I've mainly lived in London for the last 10 years, working as an academic/researcher, but have also lived in Devon & Tokyo.

A pampered Long Island princess hits the road in a converted bus with her wilderness-loving husband, travels the country for one year, and brings it all hilariously to life in this offbeat and romantic memoir.
Doreen and Tim are married psychiatrists with a twist: She's a self-proclaimed Long Island princess, grouchy couch potato, and shoe addict. He's an affable, though driven, outdoorsman. When Tim suggests "chucking it all" to travel cross-country in a converted bus, Doreen asks, "Why can't you be like a normal husband in a midlife crisis and have an affair or buy a Corvette?" But she soon shocks them both, agreeing to set forth with their sixty-pound dog, two querulous cats—and no agenda—in a 340-square-foot bus.
Queen of the Road is Doreen's offbeat and romantic tale about refusing to settle; about choosing the unconventional road with all the misadventures it brings (fire, flood, armed robbery, and finding themselves in a nudist RV park, to name just a few). The marvelous places they visit and delightful people they encounter have a life-changing effect on all the travelers, as Doreen grows to appreciate the simple life, Tim mellows, and even the pets pull together. Best of all, readers get to go along for the ride through forty-seven states in this often hilarious and always entertaining memoir, in which a boisterous marriage of polar opposites becomes stronger than ever.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
When my long-dreaded thirtieth birthday arrived, I really wasn't as upset as I imagined I'd be, for I had achieved a much more important milestone: my sartorial centennial. I owned one hundred pairs of shoes. Then, at age forty-four, I found myself trying to cram a mere half that number into a living space of 340 square feet.
The whole thing was Tim's fault.
When he announced he wanted to travel around the country in a converted bus for a year, I gave this profound and potentially life-altering notion all the thoughtful consideration it deserved.
"Why can't you be like a normal husband with a midlife crisis and have an affair or buy a Corvette?" I demanded, adding, "I will never, ever, EVER, not in a million years, live on a bus."
Something less than a million years later, as we prepared to roll down the road in our fully outfitted, luxury bus, it occurred to me that Tim had already owned a Corvette, long ago when he was far too young for a midlife crisis. While I pondered who he might be seeing on the side (and whether his having an affair might prove less taxing than living in a metallic phallus on wheels), I wedged and stuffed--and, oh my GOD! bent--the cutest little Prada mules you've ever seen into my "closet," which was really not a closet at all, but much more resembled the cubbyhole I'd been assigned many pre-shoe-obsession years ago at Camp Cejwin. How had I let myself go from "never ever" to_._._._this? Both Tim and I are shrinks, but he's obviously the better one. It took him five years, yet he whittled down my resolve, no doubt with some fancy, newfangled brainwashing technique ripped out of one of our medical journals before I could get to it.
That wouldn't have been the first time my sneaky husband tricked me into doing something I didn't want to do. Well, OK. It was only the second time (that I know of), but the first was a doozy: Almost twenty years before, Tim lied to get me to go on our first date.
We met in 1984 when we were both married to other people. I was a fourth-year medical student living in D.C., but doing as many rotations in Tucson as I could, because that's where my first husband had just moved for graduate school. (He wanted to be an archeologist and put his studies on hold so I could finish my medical training. In return, I told him I'd do my residency wherever he wanted to get his Ph.D., not for one moment thinking he'd pick a city with no Nordstrom.) Tim was a second-year psychiatry resident in the Tucson program, and I was assigned to his team.
Although he was terribly nice and we got along well, I was, after all, happily married and didn't give him a second thought when the rotation was over. As for Tim, his marriage to Diane (or D1; I'm D2. There'd better not be another upgrade) was already crumbling. Two years later, I was the second-year resident, Tim was about to graduate, and we were both divorced.
Tim and D1 had been high school sweethearts and their marriage was more a function of inevitability than compatibility. As for my ex and me, we just got married too young. Shortly after I graduated from medical school, I could see that our two-year union had been a mistake and vowed not to marry again for a long, long while.
Seven months later, I ran into Tim.
I was at a bar with a group of friends, drinking, dancing, and having a grand ole time. Tim walked in with a friend of his. Since we hadn't seen each other in nearly a year, we chatted briefly, but apparently enough for him to realize I was no longer married. Again, I didn't give him another thought-until he called a few days later.
"Hey, Doreen. It's Tim." What is this guy calling me for?
"A bunch of us from my class are getting together Saturday night to go back to the bar. You know, me, Mike, Walt, Ann…Dave. I wondered if you'd be interested in coming?" Did he say Dave?
"Uh…sure! See you then." Seems innocuous, right? But, you see, Tim had dangled Dave in front of me because he knew I was attracted to him. How did he know? Because every woman with a pulse was attracted to Dave. And I snapped up the bait with no more thought than the many times I'd gone home with a designer dress that didn't fit, just because it was on sale. Tim hadn't dated much since his marriage had broken up and was not in a place where he wanted to risk rejection. So, you might ask, what's wrong with arranging to go out in a group? Determine if we're compatible? Have an out if…? See how good that man is at deception? There was never a group going out. It was always just going to be me and Tim.
That Saturday night, a few hours before we were to meet, the phone rang.
"Hey, Doreen. It's Tim." What is this guy calling me for?
"I'm really, really sorry, but everybody's flaked out. Nobody can come tonight. I thought I'd show up anyway, hang out, have a beer. You're welcome to join me…if you're not doing anything."
"Uh, sure. See you, then." I couldn't make other plans that late on a Saturday evening. Guess I might as well go. And that's exactly what Tim knew I'd be thinking when he'd concocted his evil plan.
We met at the bar (aptly named "The Bum Steer"), where we talked, laughed, ate, talked, laughed, drank, and talked and laughed some more. Hey. This guy's kinda…wonderful. Of course, I didn't know that he'd hoodwinked me, yet. He waited a few weeks to tell me. By then, I was so smitten, I was actually flattered he'd gone to all that trouble. If only I'd realized it was the start of a pattern--sure, one that recurs only once every twenty years, but a pattern nonetheless. I shudder to think what he'll make me do in another twenty.
That first night, I found myself falling. What is going on here? Then I remembered my vow. I don't want to get involved with anyone. So I strengthened my resolve. I can't get involved with him. But, all too soon, there it was: How…can…I…not? That first "date," which wasn't even supposed to be a date, lasted eight hours. We've been together ever since, progressing through the all-important M's-Monogamy, Moving in, Mortgage, and Matrimony.
And then, unfortunately, motor home.
As a pampered Princess from the Island of Long, I have always been smug in my position as role model for my friends. They marvel at how I get Tim to do:
1. all the ironing (by exiting the house in horribly wrinkled clothes);
2. all the laundry (by washing everything together, so his favorite baseball shirt turned pink);
3. all the dishes (by being incapable of stacking the dishwasher in an energy-efficient manner).
He also walks the dog (I'm a cat person), cleans the house (I'm a pig, but in fairness to me, the first time he suggested we split chores on a weekly basis, I said, "That's fine, honey, but on my week, I'll write a check"), and takes out the garbage (are there really any married women who still do this?). But once we announced we were doing the "bus thing," as we came to call it, my friends started viewing me with disgust. They insisted I'd let them down. As their husbands eyed mine with envy and tried to get him to divulge his secret recipe for spousal capitulation, the wives shunned me as if the decision to chuck everything and live in a glorified tin can was a symptom of some contagious insanity.
The most curious reaction from our married friends, however, was incredulity--not about the bus, but about the amount of togetherness the bus would require.
"How in the world can you spend twenty-four/seven with each other? We could NEVER do that!" they'd say, shaking their heads in a unison of misery at the thought. Tim and I would just exchange knowing looks and try not to smile. Twenty-four/seven was actually the one aspect of bus life we were both looking forward to. I even think there are a few of my friends who believe I'm rather quiet, just because I never have much to contribute on the "let's bitch about our marriages" front. I know I'm lucky. Unfortunately, Tim knows it, too.
He loves when Joanne, one of my best buddies from residency, calls. She's one of the absolute nicest people I have ever met (second only to my husband). But she also has the absolute worst luck with men. Tim can always tell when I've spoken to her during the day, for as soon as he walks through the door at night, I invariably hurl myself into his arms and beg, "Don't ever leave me!" He'll shoot me a smug little smile and ask, "How is Joanne?"
Twenty-four/seven? No problem. Bus? Well…I tried to convince myself (really I did) that my living on one was a natural fit. Although I love the idea of travel, in practice I don't particularly like doing it; the closets are never big enough and there's always the risk of ending up on a hotel's first floor, which smacks way too much of camping for me. I loathe camping. In fact, my idea of "roughing it" is to stay at the Holiday Inn.
Tim and I lived in Boulder, Colorado, for ten years before we hit the road. Boulder is always at the top of every "Most Nauseatingly Healthy/Active Cities" list--though many in surrounding towns refer to it as "Nestled Between the Mountains and Reality"--so sure, I can appreciate natural beauty. I just don't want to have to walk around in it. Besides, the whole fresh air thing is overrated. I'm a physician. A scientist. Stale air, fresh air, it's all the same molecules. I had so shunned the "great" outdoors, in fact, that I had never even been stung by a bee until the age of forty-three--and that was in my own house. I just like being inside. I like not getting dressed. I like not putting on makeup. I like not brushing my…well, never mind. Some might call me lazy. I can't be bothered to disagree.
I'd never even realized how strange my love of the great indoors was until one February, when I heard Tim talking to a neighbor in our yard. I poked my head out the door to say hello.
"Doreen! It's nice to see you!" she exclaimed, as if I were a burn victim, finally emerging from the hyperbaric chamber. Tim, of course, couldn't resist singing out, "Guess it's six more weeks of winter!"
I had even gravitated away from patient care to doing insurance reviews so I could stay home all day, in my nightgown, with a cat on my lap. For years, Tim used to come home and exclaim in amazement, "Don't tell me you haven't gotten dressed all day!" But I was proud of my record: 118 hours without leaving the house. Once I perfected the art of not even leaving the bed in the morning, it took Tim a while to get used to this new development. But I figured he'd come around. How could he not be impressed? I found out just how one day when, seeing me sitting up against the headboard, typing away on my laptop, cell phone standing by with papers strewn about, he exclaimed, "Look at you!" At first I didn't quite get his meaning, and asked with considerable pride, "Yep. Who else doesn't have to get out of bed to work besides whores?"
"Even whores have to leave their beds to get johns," he said with disdain.
In fact, however, I always managed to get out--technically speaking--at least once a day: In the neighborhood, I'm known as "the Mafioso" because I'll venture outside to pick up the mail or the paper in a bathrobe, like Vinny the Chin, who roamed Greenwich Village in his pajamas so if the Feds ever got anything on him, he could plead insanity. I tried pleading insanity when I first told my girlfriends about the bus. Although they agreed with the diagnosis, it didn't seem to make them any more forgiving.
I also tried to convince myself that on a bus, I could do what I really loved (stay at home in my pajamas), while doing what I thought I should love (travel). How in the world could I ever have thought this was a bad idea? I even came to view it as a promotion of sorts: from Long Island Princess to Queen of the Long Narrow Aisle.
Tim, on the other hand, never had any reservations about the bus thing from the moment he stopped at the local newsstand and happened upon Bus Conversions magazine. He had found his people and his cause.
Ever since he started his private practice nearly fifteen years before, Tim would come home from work at seven or eight in the evening, then make an hour or more of patient calls he hadn't been able to get to during the day. While he often counseled people to take better care of themselves, it was not something that he himself seemed able to do with any ease, largely because he was working himself to death taking care of them. He also tried to be as available to his patients as possible and if someone asked him to take a very difficult case, he always said yes, just because he believed he could help. His practice was killing him.
As I railed against the bus thing, I accused Tim of wanting to do it just so he could escape psychiatry. If he really needed out, I was all for it, but why should I have to give up my life (which I was perfectly content with) for a year? While he assured me this wasn't the case, that the bus thing was something he truly wanted to do, I maintained my skepticism, although the most he would admit to was hoping the bus year would help him "mellow out." Eager to change the subject, he proceeded to ask how I myself might like to be different by the end of the year. I cocked my head and batted my eyes, relishing this rarest of moments when my darling husband was the one to walk into a trap.
"Why?" I asked with all the sweetness I could muster. "Do you think there's something I need to change?" Tim must have seen his bus dream flash before his eyes.
"N-no," he stammered. "I-I just thought maybe you'd like to…you know…well…" His eyes seemed to roll back into his brain, desperately searching its contents for a way out of this one. Finally, he sighed.

I was totally absorbed in reading this book. My dream has always been to rent a RV and see as much of the united states as possible. One of my favorite movies is Lucy and Desni Arnez "the long long trailor", and Queenie did remind me of Lucy on numerious occasions. I found the humor in this book to be on an even keel with myself, so I could relate, and laughed a lot. I have tried the receipe's at the beginning of each chapter and now I have my favorite!! The lesson learned is what I really understood and accepted the most.. I would recommend this book to all of my friends, and I did send it in the mail to a friend in another state. She read it in two days!!! and is now sending to yet another friend, in another state!
This lovely little tale had everything I was looking for: adventure, true love, quirky relatives, and animal sidekicks. Though Doreen Orion tells her story with a tongue-in-cheek attitude (each chapter begins with a martini recipe), she can't help but admit that it was a life changing experience. Like all good travel adventure stories she discovers that the most meaningful experiences aren't the ones you plan. By the end I felt as if I had been along for the ride myself, in addition to having made new friends in Doreen, Tim, Shula, Miles and Morty. Pick up this book if you are ready for an unexpected adventure with some real heart.
Queen of the Road details author Doreen Orion's year-long cross country bus trip with her husband and a large assortment of animals and shoes. While Orion claims to be a spoiled princess, her humor has an endearing self-effacing tone which belies her claims of sloth and superficiality. We go along with her as she not only travels through this diverse nation, but develops a deeper appreciation for her partner's way of thinking (and cooking and cleaning and hiking) as well. Readers will enjoy the quirky characters Doreen and Tim meet along the way, and there are some great laugh out loud moments (you'll love her husband's ring tone nickname for her.) By the end of the book you'll have genuine affection for not only the author, but also for her dear patient and highly-skilled-in-many-ways husband and their furry menagerie. Highly recommended reading to anyone who wants a fun book at the beach or on vacation, anyone who enjoys travel books, or anyone who enjoys reading about relationships and personal growth. This witfest would also make a great gift for just about anyone who enjoys reading for pleasure.
Two trained psychologists take a year off to travel the USA in a truly decked-out bus. The fact that they were psychologists interests me as well as the idea of traveling around the USA. The huge bus part, not so much. But that's what got me started... Orion's sense of humor is the reason I was able to finish the book. She is fun and I think she's someone I would enjoy knowing on a personal level. However, there were a number of times I felt frustrated by the lack of depth. For example, does she really have an anxiety issue or was she just being sarcastic in terms of not wanting to take this year-long bus trip? I love to travel but have serious anxiety issues, especially on road trips. I thought: "Ah, someone else who has road trip issues, maybe I'll get some better ideas with how to deal with it," but that was not the case. Her comments were all too often simplistic and glossed over. Give me depth! (Did she take anti-anxiety meds while on the road? She didn't do any of the driving after all. Yes, she did have her cocktail hour at the end of the day, but that doesn't get you through the day. Did she go curl-up in bed and pull the covers over her head during the bad weather moments??? Since she brings the topic up so often, I believe she is being genuine but I know that staring out the passenger window isn't enough to handle anxiety.) Some of the encounters that Orion and her husband experienced also made me want to know more. Seriously, they were in a restaurant that was held up! How frightening. But, no real depth. Maybe the whole point of the memoir was to poke fun an herself and her husband (and what a good sport he must be!) but I read memoirs because I love learning about other people's real-life experiences and taking away any personal tidbits for myself. Making personal connections is one of the main reasons many people choose memoirs... Although I mostly enjoyed the book, I wish I would have checked it out of the library instead of buying it. Maybe to have the depth, Orion would have needed to cut back on how much she covered. I don't know. (I read this book right after finishing Cheryl Strayed's Wild...now there's a memoir!!!)
Subtitled: The True Tale of 47 States, 22,000 Miles, 200 Shoes, 2 Cats, 1 Poodle, a Husband and a Bus with a Will of It's Own. Okay, how could you not want to pick up this new title from Broadway Books ??? The cover and subtitle grabbed me, but I was captivated in the first 10 pages of this travel memoir from Doreen Orion. Both Orion and her husband Tim Justice are practicing psychiatrists. Tim is still seeing patients in an office setting while Doreen consults from home for insurance companies etc. Tim is a busy guy, always with a project on the go. He enjoys the outdoors as well. On the other hand, Doreen is more than happy to stay in her pajamas, work from home, watch television and never leave the house. Her record is 118 hours in without stepping a foot outside. Two seemingly polar opposites. Without quite knowing how it happened, Doreen agrees to Tim's dream - to travel across America in a bus for a year. That's right - a bus. But what a bus it is! (Take note that their bus ends up being the September centerfold for Bus Conversions magazine.) Orion is an extremely funny woman. I was laughing out loud right from the beginning and wondered if she could keep it up throughout the book.....she did. After an initial 3 week test run, they set out. Not everything goes quite to plan - the bus has some issues and so does Doreen - she's terrified of the bus. With a fantastic sense of humour, Orion describes the trip, her relationship with Tim, the people they meet and the situations they find themselves in. Just a few weeks into the trip they notice a shift in their outlooks and attitudes. 'Getting to the top of the bell tower reaffirmed for me that Tim and I were making new choices about how to live our lives and whether it was finding time for that climb or putting our careers on hold, we were doing things differently that we had in the past, giving us hope that the lessons learned on the road about what was truly valuable might just stick'. And this is really the essence of the book. How do you want to live your life and what is really important? As we follow Tim and Doreen's travels, you start to look at your own life and wonder what you could do a little bit differently. It's also a love story. They are together 24/7 for a year. Although they already have a good marriage, they rediscover each other on the road. Fascinating as well is the ongoing travelogue. The places they visit are detailed, and an appendix gives web addresses for many of the places. I love a good travel memoir and this was one of the best I've read. This would be a great selection for a book club. There is a thoughtful list of discussion questions to get you started at the end. ( Oh - and a cocktail recipe at the beginning of every chapter!) As well, Orion will attend your book group - either in person or by speakerphone. The idea of a boat trip was bandied about at the end of the book. Sounds like a great idea Doreen and Tim - can't wait to hear what adventure you embark on next! You can always follow along at Doreen's blog.
Doreen Orion, in her book - Queen of the Road has captured the wild adventure of living on a bus and wrapped it up in page after page of laughs. She uses her flaws and foibles openly to draw in the reader, making it seem as though we are right there with her. Bus Butt and all. As the story unfolds, she shifts from self proclaimed Princess and shoe worshipper to someone who appreciates a night sky and no-TV dinners, reminding us that there is more to life than this crazy game we live in.
A bus trip where you live on a converted bus through 47 states? Oh no! I am a hotel gal, a cookie on the pillow gal 'ain't messin' with no tiny mint', a have someone clean up after me gal. So, when I started to read Doreen Orion's Queen of the Road I thought that I would have a laugh at her expense. I indeed did, many times, but then what I discovered shocked me. I started to envy her and Tim's excellent adventures. As well as her Queentastic way of celebrating near death experiences with creatively concocted martinis. Her telling, in her uniquely humorous way, of her self-diagnosed bus phobia had me nervously watching the road with her. Would they make it across those bridges? Would the turns be too tight? Would they be able to turn the bus back if need be? Was Tim driving too fast?! Tim, slow down!! Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. Tim kept driving while Doreen kept us informed of what they saw, who they met, and how she came to terms with the year she could have never imagined. If you love the idea of the open road and wonder what it would be like to live in a converted bus 'with pets no less', then this is the book for you. If you are like me and start feeling faint at the idea of no hotel service, then this is also the book for you. You'll laugh, you'll gasp, you'll be thankful Doreen was riding shotgun and survived her bus phobia to tell us all about it.
Go on the road with your husband of all things!!Find the new you that you didn't know existed! Doreen is hilarious as she relates the trials of life on a bus and finds her new true love(living in almost constant motion)and finding peace in the freedom of the road.
I've never made it beyond the 'Hmm, interesting idea' stage regarding RV travel across the country with my husband. Fortunately for me, now I don't have to. Doreen Orion has lived through the ups and downs for me, and recorded them in all kinds of agonizing and hilarious detail. Queen of the Road is about more than just wacky hijinks: the dogs, the nudists, the cocktail recipes. Reading it is a window onto a marriage -- a very honest and illuminating portrayal of the way a marriage works in extreme circumstances. More than just 'we grew, we changed,' it's a road map to a certain kind of communication, a certain kind of togetherness, that was very interesting to witness. Chatty, honest, anecdotal, and real, this book asks nothing of you but your time, and in return delivers a read that feels like a funny friend with all the time in the world to share her exploits with you over martinis. Not your traditional travelogue, but something more accessible and less pretentious than the usual fare.
Psychiatrist Doreen Orion and husband Tim (also a psychiatrist) take off on an adventure most of us can only dream of as they travel the country for a year in a luxuriously converted bus. A self-proclaimed 'Princess from the Isle of Long', Orion struggles with the radical change of lifestyle she's committed to out of love for her husband. Despite bus mishaps and an unfortunately timed and ironic phobia of the bus crashing, she manages to keep her sense of humor, her love for her husband and her sanity. As much of a surprise to her as it is to the reader, Ms. Orion comes away with some real insights into who she has been in the world and who she now wants to become. Hilarious anecdotes of the people she meets along the way avoid the overly folksy mannerisms of some 'on the road' memoirs. With her sharp, incisive, and occasionally cynical wit, Orion always gives the reader something to laugh about while clearly enjoying everyone (well mostly everyone) she meets along the way. The changes in her worldview, while not earth shattering, feel genuine and inspiring. A great read for anyone who wants to get out and 'do' something meaningful outside of cultural definitions, and with a lot of laughs along the way. And the cocktail recipes that start each chapter are not only whimsical and fun, but are also cool and delicious!
I chose this book for our bookclub, based on the subject matter and the good online reviews. I found it to be rather boring and difficult to get through. Some in the club liked it, but not enthusiastically.

QNAP Unveils New Firmware for VioStor NVR Series
QNAP Unveils New Firmware for VioStor NVR Series- NVR w/ Multi-server Monitoring
QNAP Security today announces the new firmware version 2.8 for the entire VioStor NVR series (VioStor-101/ 201/ 5020) to support the world's first innovative multi-server monitoring. By the firmware update, the VioStor NVR is turned to be a high expansibility network surveillance system which is capable of monitoring up to 120 channels simultaneously.
"We are more than excited to unveil the new firmware for our VioStor NVR series. The multi-server monitoring function is a significant technology breakthrough in the network surveillance industry. By upgrading the firmware on one single VioStor NVR, our users can add other QNAP NVR servers regardless of their physical locations and monitor the channels. There is no need to install any other software and no complicated configuration is required," remarked by Jacky Cheng, Senior Product Manager from QNAP. "More importantly, a maximum of 120 IP-based cameras can be monitored on a standalone server with this embedded feature. The scale of the network surveillance is boundlessly expanded by grouping the multiple NVR servers together for simultaneous monitoring."
The new VioStor NVR firmware also brings other stunning features including the support for 15 alarm recording schedules, new IP camera models, and localized web-based interface in Polish, Korean, and Portuguese. For the firmware download and further information, please visit this page.
