In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Menomonee Falls - Though Gov. Scott Walker's budget proposal includes additional funds allocated to public education, none of those funds will actually come to the Menomonee Falls School District, which is facing a $2.4 million budget cut in the 2013-14 school year.
On Friday, administration and School Board members met with state legislators Alberta Darling, Don Pridemore and Dan Knodl talking them through the impact the budget proposal has on Falls.
The district is facing a zero dollar increase in per pupil allocation with revenue limits that are still lower than they were in 2007-08 and cuts next year are inevitable. Officials asked legislators that revenue limits be tied to the Consumer Price Index so it paces with inflation, said Business Director Jeff Gross,
Menomonee Falls is in a unique situation where it has high property wealth and there is a "disproportionate impact that the state funding formula has on our community taxpayers," because some funds go toward educational opportunities across the state, Superintendent Patricia Greco said during the School Board meeting on Monday.
Greco said they also addressed the negative impact support for choice, voucher and independent charter schools will have on Menomonee Falls.
"The intent behind vouchers and independent charters was to provide access for students that are going to failing schools and those are going to be designated schools called choice schools in areas like Racine, Kenosha, Milwaukee, possibly Green Bay: however, right now those schools do not have to meet the same heavy criteria they are putting on us," School Board member Faith Vanderhorst said.
She said charter schools are not required to provide curriculum such as art and music. Menomonee Falls is asking that to be changed so those schools have to be equally accountable.
"We understand why they think they need to do this but as it goes forward, and we know it will go forward, we ask that you become active and ask that those schools have to become as accountable as we are," Vanderhorst said.
Greco said Menomonee Falls is left funding some of these voucher schools because it is a property rich district where local tax dollars are used to fund initiatives in other communities.
"There may be more money out there for public schools, but it's not coming here," School Board Member Scott Ternes said. "A disproportionate amount of our tax dollars are going into programs that are not monitored and measured in the same way."
School Board members urge the public to educate themselves on these issues. The full letter that the district sent to the governor's office and legislators can be viewed at sdmf.k12.wi.us.

Not going off-hand, but I really think that that Delibird Packing Co. could use a good flag. Also, why not make the entrance into the tent fully a beak? Judging by the quality of the pixels, it is very professional, and deserves an award. You, sir, have to get a Medal for this kind of business.
I in particular like that Yveltal icon, perhaps you can make the second frame? It really looks in shape, and I assume you've used the same colours of the regular palette? Anyhow, it looks great!
You'd better coin in some CSS for the thread, man.
Haha thanks a lot ;D tbh I don't really plan on changing the design but thanks for the suggestions
and for the icon I suppose I could, it only has the one frame atm because the game i made it for only uses the one frame as of right now
I will start to code in some css eventually but I'm too lazy atm XD
I'm sure there'll be a place for sprites somewhere in X and Y, at least I hope so - it's such a core part of the pokemon gaming experience!
glad I could help put somewhat!
I wish there would be sprites in xy but I have a feeling that there wont be :/
And heres something new :D

I love this product, especially since its fragrance free. I'm allergic to the mainstream wipes since they have fragrance added, which is not even healthy to put on your female areas.

This wipe is a God-send. Having quite the sensitive "Hoo-Hoo" I can't use just anything. In fact, I can't use most things on the market meant for our lady-bits. However, I wanted something to keep me extra fresh on-the-move...especially during "that time." I was just about to begin toting around the full bottle of my favorite new fem wash, and then in walks my same cleanser in wipe form! It's soft, durable, moist (and stays moist until the last sheet!) and is super portable. Best thing is, it's just as gentle as the wash (Which has changed my life!) and hasn't caused not one bit of irritation. Truly a great product line altogether. I did give it 4 Stars however, due to the size and amount. They could stand to make the towelettes bigger, and give you more product so it'll last longer--I go through these fast! I'll definitely keep purchasing though, because I figure if it makes "Her" happy, it's worth it!

I'm using tycho to build an Eclipse RCP application. So far we've been using Eclipse's build system, but I want to use tycho do build nightly snapshots. Until now, at my company, we've been releasing this RCP application with update-sites, which we update using 'Build All' in the view of the site.xml file in Eclipse. I tried to replicate this behavior with tycho, following http://www.vogella.com/articles/EclipseTycho/article.html.
My problem is that, despite having put a pom.xml within our existing update site, tycho generates a fresh update site when building (using mvn clean verify or mvn install), within the existing update-site, in the directory target/. If I build twice in a row, the first freshly generated update site gets replaced, whereas I would like it to be updated. It seems feasible to me, since the generated JARs do not have the same timestamps.
Hence, my question is: How do I mimic Eclipse's 'Build All' behavior that updates the site.xml, artifacts.jar, and contents.jar files (so that my clients see the edge and older versions on the update site) ? As a bonus, I would also prefer to update the existing update site that generating a fresh one in target/!
The pom.xml in my existing update-site is pretty standard:
[edit] oberlies'answer made me progress, but it's not working yet. To make his answer more precise, let me add that I added his code in the pom.xml in the repository built by maven, NOT the one that I wanna publish (hence there's no reference in the master pom to the update site I wanna publish). This seems to work as the build ends with:

Cooking a spud, a real university challenge: Changing a light bulb and learning to eat properly are the REAL lessons learned while studying for a degree
- Poll revealed 'life skills' including boiling an egg and making fancy dress
- Survey by Lucozade shows graduates learn more than academia at uni
Changing a lightbulb, feeding yourself for £20 a week and cooking a jacket potato are among the true life lessons students take from university, a study says.
It revealed that students are taking home more than just a degree, with learning how to stay up all night named as the most common skill learned.
Conjuring up last-minute fancy dress outfits and boiling the perfect egg are also lessons graduates are taking from their time studying away from home.
Lifer lessons: Many students say they only learned to change a light bulb after going to university
Others include knowing that duct tape fixes almost everything, how to cut their own hair and learning not to heat rice in the microwave.
Lesley Stonier of Lucozade Energy, which was behind the poll, said: 'The modern university experience gives graduates so much more than just a degree .
'The life lessons that are taken away from their years studying will stand young people in good stead for their future.
'Leaving home for the first time is a daunting process, and mum or dad might try to prepare their child with basic cooking skills.
'But it seems boiling an egg or cooking a potato isn't truly mastered until they start to look after themselves at university.'
In total, the average student will have gained 13 life lessons on top of their certificate when graduation day comes around.

USDTV's recent announcement that it plans to offer set-top boxes from retail giant Wal-Mart to receive its wireless cable service nationwide is the most recent and possibly the clearest sign that new life is about to be pumped into over-the-air television.
That's not because USDTV's business follows the traditional over-the-air broadcast business model of free programming. It doesn't.
However, it illustrates in a tangible way that the technology is now in place to eliminate the multipath problems and the need for an outdoor antenna that have prevented the vast majority of U.S. television viewers from being able to receive DTV over the air.
At the heart of the new set-top boxes will be a fifth-generation 8-VSB decoder and ATSC tuner from LG Electronics, LG Innotek and subsidiary Zenith, which underwent successful field testing in Baltimore several months ago and most recently performed well amid Manhattan's skyscrapers.
The significance of USDTV's use of the chip is greater than making the company's business plan technologically viable. Ultimately, it means that broadcasters have a level playing field on which to attempt to win back viewers from cable and satellite television providers.
Sinclair Broadcast Group vice president of new technology Nat Ostroff said that making it easier to receive the signal widens the potential audience from just the few enthusiasts willing to put up an outdoor antenna. He added that the Zenith (LG) technology will enable broadcasters to reach a mass audience.
Sinclair, which owns or programs 62 television stations across the country, is a USDTV partner in Las Vegas.
Currently, Sinclair is in the process of upgrading its facilities to transmit DTV at full power and is completing HD pass-through work for its FOX and WB network affiliates. Those steps, coupled with a concerted effort to inform viewers that HD programming is available for free, will complement the impending availability of DTV receivers with fifth-generation 8-VSB decoder chips.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR).
2. Related Art
In OTDR, an optical pulse is launched into an optical fibre (or more generally into a waveguide--in this specification the expression `optical fibre` is used to include the more general case of a waveguide as well as an optical fibre)--and backscattered signals returning to the launch end are monitored. In the event that there are discontinuities (such as faults or splices) in the fibre, the amount of backscattering generally increases, and any such change is detected in the monitored signals. Backscattering and reflection also occur from elements such as couplers, and so the monitored signals are usually compared with a reference record, new peaks and other changes in the monitored signal level or plot being indicative of changes in the fibre path, normally indicating a fault. The time between pulse launch and receipt of a backscattered signal is proportional to the distance along the fibre to the source of the backscattering, and so OTDR is a useful technique for fault location.
The rapid evolution of erbium-doped fibre amplifiers has freed telecommunications system designers from the constraints of opto-electronic regenerators. It is now possible to conceive of a future fixed transport layer where the links may be upgraded simply by modifying the terminal equipment. Similarly, it will reduce operations and maintenance costs if fault location can also be enabled remotely from the terminal locations. The application of OTDR to an optically amplified system was first successfully demonstrated for semiconductor laser amplifiers (SLAs)--see Blank & Cox--`Optical Time Domain Reflectometry on Optical Amplifier Systems`, Journal of Lightwave Technology, vol. 7, no. 10, pages 1549-1555. The major obstacle overcome was that the amplifiers produce amplified spontaneous emission (ASE), and this may be sufficient to overload the OTDR receiver. The technique used by Blank and Cox was primarily that of limiting the optical bandwidth of the test pulse and the ASE spectrum incident on the receiver, and using additional electrical processing in the OTDR to deal with the residual ASE. A narrowband optical filter was placed at the output of an OTDR instrument to limit the level of ASE entering the receiver. The optical output from the standard Fabry-Perot laser normally used in OTDR instruments would have been severely attenuated by the filter response, and so the OTDR laser was replaced with a narrow linewidth DFB laser, matched to the filter response. No further modifications were required to the commercial OTDR instrument (Hewlett-Packard HP8145A).
Unfortunately, this technique can only be used in systems which do not include in-line optical isolators. For the majority of systems, however, it is necessary (or at least desirable) to include at least one optical isolator in-line with each fibre amplifier to ensure system stability under all conditions. Thus, the control of ASE in systems having a plurality of amplifiers is important--if the ASE of one amplifier is sufficiently large, it will be amplified by the other amplifiers in the system (ASE travels in both directions), and this can cause the entire system to oscillate (lase). The use of in-line optical isolators prevents oscillations, as effectively light signals can travel in only one direction. Typical values for the isolation are likely to be in the range 30-40 dB. Not only does this preclude system upgrades to bi-directional working, but it also removes any possibilities for enabling fault location using OTDR at the system wavelength. A number of schemes have been suggested as ways of addressing this issue. Unfortunately, these schemes involve the use of optical circulators, routing the "go" and "return" paths through separate amplifiers, and the extra complexity involved is likely to be justified only in specialised applications.
The present invention provides optical amplifier means for a waveguide carrying system signals at a first wavelength and OTDR signals at a second wavelength, the amplifier means being constituted by an optical amplifier and an isolator, wherein the isolator has a high isolation factor at the first wavelength and a low isolation factor at the second wavelength.
Thus, by ensuring that the isolation factor is high at the first wavelength, system signals can only travel in one direction (thereby ensuring system stability), whilst OTDR signals can travel in both directions (thereby permitting monitoring of the waveguide).
Preferably, the isolator has an isolation factor of at least 30 dB at the first wavelength, and an isolation factor of at most 15 dB at the second wavelength.
In a preferred embodiment, the waveguide is an optical fibre, and the optical amplifier is a rare earth doped fibre amplifier which is provided with a pump laser, the doped fibre being connected to said optical fibre and to the pump laser by means of a WDM coupler.
In this case, the WDM coupler has a low loss at the first and second wavelengths.
The WDM coupler may be a fused fibre coupler or a dichroic coupler.
Alternatively, the waveguide is an optical fibre and the optical amplifier is an SLA.
The invention also provides an optical telecommunications system comprising a waveguide, an optical signal transmitter for launching system signals at a first wavelength into the waveguide, and an OTDR for launching OTDR signals at a second wavelength into the waveguide, wherein the waveguide is provided with optical amplifier means as defined above.
Preferably, the waveguide is an optical fibre, and the first wavelength lies in the 1300 nm low loss window for optical fibres, and the second wavelength lies in the 1500 nm low loss window for optical fibres. In this case, the rare earth doped fibre amplifier may be an erbium doped fibre amplifier, and the pump laser may operate at a wavelength of 1480 nm.
When the amplifier is an SLA, the first wavelength preferably lies within the 1300 nm low loss window for optical fibres, and the second wavelength lies in the 1500 nm low loss window for optical fibres.
The invention will now be described in greater detail, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a graph illustrating the wavelength response of the WDM coupler of the embodiment of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a schematic trace of the OTDR of the embodiment of FIG. 1.
Referring to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows an OTDR arrangement and part of an associated optical fibre telecommunications line to be tested. The arrangement has a head end which includes an OTDR 1 and an optical transmitter 2 which are connected to an optical fibre telecommunications line 3 via a WDM coupler 4. The OTDR 1 operates at a wavelength λOTDR in the 1300 nm window. The optical transmitter 2 operates at a wavelength λsystem in the 1500 nm window, and constitutes a terminal transmitter of system signals.
The line 3 incorporates a fibre amplifier, indicated generally by the reference numeral 5, and an isolator 6. The fibre amplifier 5 is constituted by a 60 m length of erbium-doped fibre 5a, a pump laser 5b and a fused fibre WDM coupler 5c having four ports numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4. Although the erbium-doped fibre can be of any length, it is preferable for its length to lie within the range of from 20 m to 100 m. The pump laser 5b operates at a wavelength λpump of 1480 nm, and the WDM coupler 5c couples light at the system wavelength λsystem and light at the OTDR wavelength λOTDR (from port 1) and light from the pump at λpump (from port 2) to the erbium-doped fibre 5a via port 4. The isolator 6 is, for example, a BT&D OIC1100-1550 whose output is connected to the line 3 downstream thereof via one output leg of a coupler 7. The other output leg of the coupler 7 is connected to a monitor 8.
The WDM coupler 5c is arranged to have a low loss (from port 1 to port 4) at both the system wavelength λsystem and the OTDR wavelength λOTDR. The doped fibre 5a is arranged to have a high gain at the system wavelength λsystem and substantially no loss at the OTDR wavelength λOTDR. The isolator 6 is arranged to have a high isolation at the system wavelength λsystem and a low isolation at the OTDR wavelength λOTDR. In use, therefore, the fibre amplifier 5 is effective to amplify signals at the system wavelength λsystem without substantially amplifying signals at the OTDR wavelength λOTDR, and the isolator 6 is such as to provide a high isolation factor for signals at the system wavelength λsystem (thereby preventing light at this wavelength travelling backwards towards the head end of the system and so ensuring system stability), while providing low isolation at the OTDR wavelength λOTDR (thereby permitting signals at this wavelength to pass in both directions along the line 3 so that returning backscattered and reflected signals at this wavelength can reach the OTDR 1). In other words, the wavelength λOTDR of the laser in the OTDR 1 should be selected as follows:
1. so that there is poor isolation at the isolator 6;
2. so that the signal is unaffected by the doped fibre 5a (that is to say λOTDR is out of the amplification bandwidth and experiences no absorbtion); and
3. so that light from the OTDR 1 passes through the WDM coupler 5c with low loss.
For the 1480 nm-pumped erbium-doped fibre amplifier 5, this implies that the OTDR 1 is equipped with a laser in the 1300 nm window. The tolerance on the OTDR wavelength λOTDR depends on the type of WDM coupler used, and is tighter for a fused fibre coupler than for a dichroic coupler. None the less, a Fabry Perot laser of approximately 5 nm bandwidth would be satisfactory.
It will be apparent that, in considering OTDR through the amplifier 5, the signal path consists of the WDM coupler 5c, the fibre 5a and the isolator 6. The wavelength responses of these components will be considered below in more detail:
1. The isolator 6--all standard techniques of optical isolation use Faraday rotation in a magneto-optically active material. The general construction of an isolator is based on a crystal which is saturated with a high-flux magnetic field. The level of Faraday rotation in the crystal has to be sufficient to cause a rotation of the plane of polarisation of instant light by π/4 radians. In this way, the "go" and "return" light are in orthogonal polarisation states at the input to the crystal, and may be separated by a polariser. However, the level of Faraday rotation is a slowly-varying function of the signal wavelength. The implication of this is that the isolation provided is tuned to a range of wavelengths, so that for an isolator which gives high isolation in the 1550 nm window (say from 1540-1560 nm), a much lower level of isolation will be provided in the 1300 nm window.
2. The fibre 5a--for any rare earth dopant, the gross absorption spectrum is defined by the energy level structure of the element. Small scale changes may be introduced, for example, by changing the composition of the host material. However, the loss spectrum is generally well defined, and cannot be changed significantly. For example, erbium-doped fibre exhibits no ground-state or excited-state absorption throughout the 1300 nm transmission window, the loss being simply that due to the undoped fibre alone.
3. The WDM coupler 5c--the technique of the invention relies on the transmission of the OTDR test pulses through all the components, including the WDM coupler 5c, with relatively low loss. The fused fibre WDM coupler 5c described above has a wavelength response which is periodic, being approximately sinusoidal (see FIG. 2). As shown, the pump and signal wavelengths λpump and λsystem are separated by half a period of the coupler response. It is clear that, if the signal path is transmitted at λsystem, then it is also transmissive with low loss at λOTDR =λsystem �nΔλc where n is an even integer and Δλc=λsystem -λpump. Thus, for λpump =1480 nm and λsystem =1550 nm, Δλc=70 nm. Consequently λOTDR =1410 nm for n=2 and 1280 nm for n=4. λOTDR at 1410 nm is not likely to be of much use, as this is within the "high" loss region of optical fibre. However, if the OTDR 1 is chosen to have a wavelength λOTDR =1280 nm, transmission at this wavelength lies firmly within the 1300 nm window where the fibre loss is low. Moreover, semiconductor lasers are readily available at this wavelength, which leads to the choice of an OTDR laser operating at 1280 nm when the WDM coupler 5c is a fused fibre coupler.
Alternatively, the fused fibre coupler could be replaced by dichroic coupler. Such a three-port device normally has a "top hat" response, with a one path low loss across a range of pump wavelengths and another one path low loss across a range of signal wavelengths. Normally, the out-of-band range of wavelengths is not of interest, and the filter response is only optimised for the pump and signal bands. In principle, however, it would not be difficult to design a dichroic coupler which would have a second low loss band to allow both the system and OTDR wavelengths to pass through with low loss.
As an example, the OTDR arrangement of FIG. 1 has a loss budget (the average of the "go" and "return" paths) through the amplifier 5 of 0.5 dB for the coupler 5c, 5.5 dB for the isolator 6 and 0.0 dB for the fibre 5a. Including the loss of 0.5 dB for the splices, therefore, the total loss of the amplifier 5 is 6.5 dB at λOTDR. The loss of a single mode optical fibre in the 1300 nm window is about 0.4 dB/km, so the loss in the amplifier 5 is equivalent to 16.25 km of fibre. The dynamic range of state of the art 1300 nm OTDR instruments is about 30 dB (that is to say 75 km of fibre). FIG. 3 shows a schematic OTDR trace obtained using the arrangement of FIG. 1, from which it will be noted that fibre beyond the amplifier can be observed, which is not possible using conventional techniques. For long-haul (trunk) transmission, where fibres typically have a chain of amplifiers, it is unlikely that the amplifier spacing will be sufficiently low to permit OTDR observations as far as the second amplifier in such a chain. The position in the access network will, however, be different, and it is probable that few, if any, access fibres will be provided with more than one amplifier, so that the technique of the invention should find wide application in fibre access networks.
The position improves somewhat if the wavelengths are reversed, that is to say if λsystem is in the 1300 nm window and λOTDR is in the 1550 nm window. In this case, the amplifier loss is similar, but the equivalent length of fibre is doubled, since the fibre attenuation is halved. Thus, considering a system with 40 km amplifier spacing, the loss per span (40 km fibre at 0.2 dB/km+6.5 dB amplifier loss) is now 14.5 dB. This implies that a 1550 nm OTDR with 30 dB dynamic range could observe two complete spans (including two amplifiers), as shown in FIG. 3. Thus, by using OTDR from each end, an optically-amplified system of a least 160 km in length could be monitored using the technique of the invention.
In an alternative embodiment, the fibre amplifier 5 could be replaced by an SLA. In this case, of course, the SLA would be spliced directly into the optical fibre telecommunications line 3, and there would be no need for either a WDM coupler or a pump laser. Here again, however, the isolator should have a high isolation factor at the system wavelength λsystem and a low isolation factor at the OTDR wavelength λOTDR. In this case, however, the OTDR wavelength λOTDR must be longer than the system wavelength λsystem, otherwise the OTDR signals would be absorbed in the SLA. This implies that the system wavelength λsystem should be in the 1300 nm low loss window for optical fibres, and the OTDR wavelength λOTDR should be in the 1500 nm low loss window for optical fibres.
It will be apparent that the arrangement described above could be modified in a number of ways. For example, the principle of using OTDR at a wavelength which is different from that of the system signals could be used with optical components other than an optical amplifier combined with an optical isolator. For example, the invention could be used with an in-line optical isolator which is not associated with an amplifier. It would also be possible to use the invention with a coupler which has a first predetermined splitting ratio at the system wavelength, and a second predetermined splitting ratio at the OTDR wavelength. Such a system could be used to interrogate preferentially fibre along a specified route downstream of the coupler. Again, it would be possible to use the invention where an optical fibre telecommunications line includes an attenuator. In this case, the attenuator could be arranged to have a high attenuation factor at the system wavelength and a much lower loss at the OTDR wavelength. All of these components, therefore, could be designed to have appropriate spectral responses to enable the use of OTDR testing at a wavelength different to that of the system signals.
It should also be noted that the system of the invention is suitable for in-service testing, that is to say that OTDR measurements can be made whilst the system laser is turned on. This would require the installation, at test points, of appropriate WDM couplers to combine the system and OTDR wavelengths.

"The Hobbit" new clips see Bilbo sent on a journey (video)
December 4, 2012 - 21:19 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - New video clips from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey have been released, Digital Spy reported.
The first instalment in Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy sees Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) forced out of his comfortable, uneventful existence after Gandalf (Ian McKellen) persuades him to accompany 13 dwarves on a mission to recover their stolen treasure.
The first clip sees Bilbo becoming increasingly irritated as more and more dwarves turn up at his home in Hobbiton.
Another clip shows Elrond (Hugo Weaving) handing out swords to the 13 dwarves, which follows an earlier clip in which Gandalf gave Bilbo the elven sword Sting.
Top stories
Already included in the List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity are the Duduk, Armenian khachkar, lavash,"David of Sassoun."
She joins an impressive group of fashion moguls on the list that includes Spanx founder Sara Blakely and bridal tycoon Vera Wang.

Just a few quick thoughts on Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Just a few quick thoughts on Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.
The actors who played Jesus in the 1925 and 1959 versions of Ben-Hur not only had to keep their faces hidden from the cameras, they weren't even acknowledged in the movies' credits. But the new version of Ben-Hur is putting Jesus front-and-centre — and the actor who plays him now has a 42-second featurette all to himself.
It seems hard to believe, but this coming Sunday marks the second anniversary of the North American release of a little film called Noah.
This coming Sunday is Easter on the western church calendar, and the people behind the current crop of "faith-based" movies are hoping that Christians will spend a little time at the movie theatre in addition to their time at church. Thus, we have seen a non-stop stream of new videos this week for Miracles from Heaven — all of which you can watch here — and now we have a new TV spot for Risen, the film about the death and resurrection of Jesus that is told from the point of view of a Roman officer.
Fourteen months after it premiered at the Sundance film festival — and just in time for Easter — we finally have a trailer for Last Days in the Desert, which stars Ewan McGregor as both Jesus and the Devil in a story set sometime around the end of Jesus' forty days of temptation in the wilderness. Check it out below the jump.
The first trailer for the upcoming remake of Ben-Hur came out last week, and it gave us only a very brief glimpse of Jesus. A new trailer — which first surfaced today on the Facebook page for Son of God, the other big-screen Jesus movie produced by Mark Burnett and Roma Downey — gives us a little more. Check it out below the jump.

Looking to enjoy a bit of sun and surf in Wilmington, stay at a great hotel, and earn free nights while you're at it? Well, we're here to do our best to help.
Hotels.com has 6 Wilmington beach hotels for you to compare and find the perfect mix of price, amenities, and location. With prices starting at just $66/night, we try to make it as easy as possible to work within any budget on beaches across North Carolina.

4. SeaWitch Motel
5. Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites
We highly recommend booking now, so you can make sure we can get you the best room available!
When is the best time to go to the beach?
Obviously, the busiest times to hit the beach are going to be major holidays and weekends - especially in between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

How "Under Pressure" Sounds Without Music: Freddie Mercury And David Bowie A CappellaBy Superstar Magazine
One day in 1981 Bowie reunited with Queen in a recording studio in Switzerland, with the intention of doing vocals for the song "Cool Cat" . David got bored and suggested writing a new song from scratch. According to Mark Blake, author of a biography of Freddie Mercury, they began a 24 hours marathon of wine and cocaine and ended up with this musical gem. This is incredible! Back in the day when auto-tune wasn't needed. You'd never hear this from most 'singers' these days.
