Scream Factory Releasing 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2' Tomorrow: Watch These Clips
There's something about a fan favorite title getting a badass home video edition, one that shows the company behind it really gave it some love and attention. When it comes to doing that, I think we can all agree that Scream Factory really doesn't like to cut corners, giving us DVD and Bluray editions that could easily be dubbed "definitive".
Tomorrow, the Scream Factory team is releasing their home video edition of the 1986 horror film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, which is the sequel to Tobe Hooper's 1974 road horror masterpiece. Packed to the absolute brim with extras, interviews, trailers, TV spots, galleries, and more, you can bet that you're not going to get a better edition of the movie. Well, not until someone does a 4k restoration…
To give fans a taste of what's to come, Scream Factory has released three videos for your enjoyment: a trailer, which can be viewed above, an on-location clip and an actual clip from the film, both of which can be seen below.
"For a decade, Texas Ranger Lefty Enright (Dennis Hopper) has sought to avenge the brutal murder of his kin by the cannibalistic Sawyer family – Leatherface, Chop-Top, The Cook and Grandpa. With the help of a radio DJ (Caroline Williams), who's also bent on putting an end to the terror, Lefty finds his way to the Sawyers' underground slaughter shop, where a battle of epic proportions will soon rage… and the line between good and evil gets chopped to bits!"

Taryn Barker, 'Demon Hunter,' Slays Evil (Trailer)
Indie filmmaker Zoe Kavanagh is slaying evil in the trailer premiere for Taryn Barker: Demon Hunter, which is locked to start making festival rounds this year.
In the film "A young girl tormented by the tragedies of her past is brought in for questioning by the police over the death of a man, who she claims to be a demon. Detective Beckett realizes this is the same girl he made a broken promise to six years ago that he'd find the monster that raped and murdered her 12 year old sister. The girl warns of a powerful man named Falstaff who will stop at nothing to claim her soul. Falstaff abducts Detective Beckett's daughter and now this young girl is his only hope and ally in rescuing his daughter from this demonic cult and proving to him that Taryn Barker is the Demon Hunter."
Demon Hunter stars Niamh Hogan in the title role, supported by Michael Parle as Demon Lord Falstaff, with Alan Talbot, Kevin O'Malley, Nic Furlong, Sarah Tapes Jenkinson, and Margarita Grillis.
It was written by Kavanagh and Tony Flynn, and produced by Victor McGowan, Anna Ginjaume Grieve, Zoe Kavanagh, Matthew Taylor, and Stephen Horgan.
Keep up with the film on Facebook.
"Stan Against Evil" Will Star the Hilarious John C. McGinley
John C. McGinley is an awesome actor (from Platoon to Office Space), especially when he gets to play a jerk. He's got amazing comedic timing, and can even pull off a serious role. When he mixes the two together it's pure bliss.
Massive news, via Deadline, who reports that the "Scrubs" alum has locked the lead role in "Stan Against Evil," IFC's new scripted comedy-horror series from "The Simpsons" writer Dana Gould.
Also cast in the show, which has an eight-episode order for a fall premiere, is actress-comedian Janet Varney ("You're the Worst").
" 'Stan Against Evil' follows Stanley Miller (McGinley), a sour, aging bulldog of a New England police sheriff who has recently lost his position as head honcho due to an angry outburst at a most inappropriate moment — his wife's funeral. Impatient and judgmental, he's not exactly accepting or kind towards people from different walks of life. When the new, strong-willed sheriff Evie Barret (Varney) opens his eyes to the plague of angry demons haunting their small New Hampshire town, Stan begrudgingly joins an alliance with her to fight them off."
"Dana has crafted the most deliciously combustible, subversive contrarian on television. And we are going to set it off!" said John C. McGinley, who also will serve as a producer on the series.
Goud executive produces with Tom Lassally of 3 Arts, Frank Scherma & Justin Wilkes of RadicalMedia. Filming is scheduled to begin in June in Atlanta.
Our 10 Most Anticipated Horror VR Games!
It's begun. Virtual reality is here, and it's positioned to be more revolutionary, and lasting, than motion controls, 3D, or any of the other tech-fads we've endured over the years. The HTC Vive and Oculus Rift are available now to anyone who's willing to spend $799 or $599, respectively, to get in on the fun before the PlayStation VR headset arrives in October for $399, so fiscally risk adverse peasants such as myself can also have the opportunity to strap monitors to our faces. Virtual reality will take some getting used to, both for the creators of these games and the folks who'll spend hours playing them, so while we wait for it to find its groove, let's take a look at some of the horror VR games we're most looking forward to right now.
The works of H.P. Lovecraft are becoming increasingly popular lately as a growing number of developers look to them as a source of inspiration for their own stories. Among them is Ratchet & Clank developer Insomniac and their upcoming game based on Lovecraft's novella, At the Mountains of Madness.
Edge of Nowhere follows a team of explorers who are sent into the Antarctic mountains to rescue a missing expedition team. This is one of the few VR games that's played from the third-person perspective, as opposed to the first-person viewpoint that so many other games employ. The reasoning behind this is entirely about the player's comfort level, since most people don't have a lot of experience playing virtual reality games, it can take some time to get used to.
Release Date: Spring 2016 (Oculus Rift)
Here's Who Will Direct the 'Jurassic World' Sequel
It was announced back in January that Juan Antonio Bayona would no long be directing World War Z as he's focusing on completing A Monster Calls.
News then broke, via Deadline, that the real reason was that Bayona could end up directing Jurassic World 2 for Universal Pictures.
This morning producer Frank Marshall confirmed the news on Twitter.
Thrilled to announce JA Bayona is on board to direct JW2. Welcome to the team @FilmBayona!
— Frank Marshall (@LeDoctor) April 18, 2016
Colin Trevorrow directed the Jurassic Park sequel/reboot, and after it grossed over $1.6 billion, he accepted the job directing Star Wars: Episode IX.
Trevorrow wrote the sequel with Derek Connolly and they've waited to get a good script before looking for a director, the site also reported in January, but all this is going to get moving soon for a complex picture dated June 22, 2018.
Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are expected back.
I didn't dislike Jurassic World as much as the critics, and found most of the issues to be script-related. If anything, it was enjoyable, mindless popcorn entertainment that was better than the previous two installments. I'm dying to see what Juan Antonio Bayona can do the franchise and hope the Universal execs let him express his "dark" side that we're so accustom to.
[Tribeca Review] 'Fear, Inc.' Forgets to Scare
I think we've hit peak twist when it comes to entertainment. "The Twilight Zone" set the bar, and M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense took it to a completely new level. Now, after nearly two decades of red herring cinema, it has worn out its welcome. While Vincent Masciale's Fear, Inc., which just had its World Premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, offers nothing new in this regard, it's at least entertaining.
Fear, Inc. is carried on the back of Lucas Neff, who plays Joe, a boisterous horror junkie who is desperately wanting to be scared, no, terrified. When a man (played by The Sandlot's Patrick Renna) overhears his complaints, he offers the aid of a company called Fear, Inc. Joe, who can't stand monotony anymore, calls the number of the business card, setting off a chain of events that echo classic horror cinema (from Friday the 13th to SAW).
Penned by Luke Barnett, the film is heavy inside baseball, but is glued together by fun characters and a series of horror-related gags. Neff is hysterical, and almost single-handedly makes the film watchable, while the rest of the cast elevate themselves to his energy.
The problem, however, is that Fear, Inc. is trying way too hard to outsmart the viewer, and ultimately ends up muddying up the impact with no actual tonal shift. The film could be likened to Behind the Mask in that, when it's time to get serious, it never elevates itself. It's focusing so hard on tricking the viewer that it forgets that its sole job is to be a horror film.
And as twisty as the plot may be, the pic is about as generic as it gets. Still, you could do much worse than Fear, Inc., which at least carries a fun spirit and heart of gold.
Ultimately, the irony here is that Fear, Inc. is about a horror fan wanting to feel something, anything, yet doesn't offer this courtesy to its viewers.
7 Unbelievable Horror Movie Facts!
Movies are often full of changes and trivia, but these horror films truly have some remarkable tidbits attached to them!
Everybody loves trivia. Whether you're using it to be a hero and win some contest at a pub or just annoying your friends with it mercilessly, trivia is great because it's short, digestible bursts of "Did You Know?" What's more fun than that? The horror community is also such a fervent, passionate group of people that their enthusiasm towards trivia perhaps goes unrivaled. They can tell you exactly who's under Jason's mask in Friday the 13th Part IV or how many deaths take place across the Halloween franchise. However, as fun as trivia is, it's also everywhere. So you know Reagan's vomit in The Exorcist is pea soup, so does everyone, buddy! Accordingly, we've gone the extra mile to find some especially poignant gems from your favorite horror films that you hopefully have never heard before. And if you have, well then your trivia team, "The Dream Warriors" is going to have a lot more competition next time.
1. Stephen's King is Spelled Wrong in Carrie's Trailer
At this point Stephen King might have over a hundred adaptations of his stories filling both your television screens and movie theaters, but there was also a more humble time when he wasn't the mega-author that he is today. Brian DePalma's excellent adaptation of Carrie is actually the first Stephen King story to undergo adaptation. While the process would open the floodgates for the author, it didn't change the fact that he wasn't a household name yet. As a result, the "burgeoning writer" sees his name misspelled in Carrie's trailer, going the Steven route. With King arguably being the biggest horror writer that there is, it's crazy to think of a time when he was putting up with people screwing up the spelling of his name.
2. Psycho Is the First US Film to Show a Flushing Toilet On Screen
A lot of people think of the shower when they think of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, and rightfully so. One of the most iconic murders in all of horror happens to take place in one. But while everyone is busy focusing on the shower's importance in the movie, there's an unsung hero in the bathroom that's widely overlooked. That's right, the toilet. Up until this point, a toilet flushing had never been shown in an American film (a terribly lewd, inappropriate act to depict, obviously). Psycho broke barriers by making toilet flushing possible, and cinema has never looked back since!
3. A Man Sued Warner Bros. For Fainting During The Exorcist …and Won!
We all want horror movies to be frightening. That's their point. But it's kind of bizarrely twisted that because a horror film does its job too well, it can actually be penalized for it, which is exactly what happened with William Friedkin's The Exorcist. After an audience member fainted and broke their jaw from hitting it on the seat in front of them, they brought forth a lawsuit towards Warner Brothers. The victim claimed that due to the use of subliminal images (which the film does employ) he fainted. Warner Brothers settled out of court for an undisclosed amount, but awarded him something! A lot of theaters after the fact even had paramedics on hand to deal with the mass hysterics and fainting that was prone to happen, to avoid this from happening again! It all just sounds like a Nathan For You prank gone wrong to me.
4. The Gauntlet That Shelley Duvall Endured During The Shining
Shelley Duvall's shriek heavy performance in Kubrick's masterpiece, The Shining, is pretty apparent even if you've only seen a few minutes of the film's second half. Duvall's performance as Wendy Torrance is so shrill and fear-filled, it's too much for a lot of people, going as far as reading as "annoying" amongst certain circles. Whether Duvall's work rubs you the wrong way or not is irrelevant, the point is that she genuinely seems to be terrified, which is fundamental to the role. The only stipulation here is that apparently Duvall's performance isn't so much a wonderfully channeled piece of acting, but rather the result of the onslaught of torture that Kubrick put Duvall through, in order to get her performance to where he wanted it. Kubrick is known for being an eccentric and filmmaking using unconventional methods, but here Kubrick was constantly dismissive to the actress (going as far as telling her she was wasting everyone's time), told crew to never show her sympathy, and would have her do hundreds of takes for scenes. By the end of the production Duvall was losing her hair and had to carry bottles of water around for how dehydrated she was from crying. That's a lot of work to create the most terrified wife in horror.
5. Priests Were Present to Bless Moviegoers Seeing The Conjuring
Audiences were so shaken up after watching James Wan's The Conjuring, that a special screening in Chicago had a priest present after the movie to cleanse any audience members who felt violated by evil spirits. Naturally, this was a whole lot of showmanship, but so much of horror is buying into an illusion that this gimmick actually worked and incited more fear and paranoia from moviegoers. A special piece of boilerplate was even present, warning that, "The film you are about to see is psychologically and emotionally disturbing." Maybe for The Conjuring 2 they'll even sprinkle brimstone around the theater.
6. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre's Original Title Was Head Cheese
If you work your way through The Texas Chain Saw Massacre's commentary track with director, Tobe Hooper, you'll come across the interesting tidbit that the film's to-the-point title went through a bit of a revision process. Hooper and the film's co-writer, Kim Henkel, had originally given their film the unusual title, Head Cheese, of all things. From that point the title slowly morphed into Leatherface, before ultimately taking on the title that we're all familiar with (which wasn't too popular at first, either). It was likely the lack of impetus and rationale behind Head Cheese as a title that sort of explains why thing's slowly evolved. But can you imagine if one of the most unnerving films of all time had this as its title instead!?
7. The Skeletons in Poltergeist Are Real Human Skeletons
How expensive would you think rubber prop skeletons are? Well, they're a whole lot more expensive than the real thing, apparently! Makeup artist on the film Craig Reardon brought up that real skeletons would actually be cheaper than creating something, and so this macabre mix of fantasy and reality was incorporated into the picture to great effect (although the actors weren't told originally, mind you). While not as prominent, Hooper would employ the same technique on Texas Chain Saw Massacre as well, with the skeletons present there, also being the real deal.
Now spread this knowledge and inform every horror fan you encounter! Perhaps they'll even have something new and unbelievable to respond back with! But what about you? What do you think the crème de la crème of horror trivia is? Sound off in the comments below!
You know, I had heard that on the set for Oujia 2…

Extreme Glare Sunglass Lens Technology Out Performs Antiquated Polarized Lenses—Now Digitally Superior!
Choose the frame style of your choice!
Three secrets of polarization brought to light:
Secret #1: When viewing digital LED and LCD screens—such as cellphones and dashboard instruments—polarized lenses significantly restrict vision, creating dark blotches that obscure accurate reading of these devices. They often create safety hazards.
Secret#2: The Federal Aviation Administration has ruled against the use of polarized lenses by pilots because they impede their reading of cockpit instruments and view through cockpit windshields. This problem also affects view through automobile windshields.
Secret #3: Polarized lenses do not effectively block the glare of the sun compared to this new technology. Proudly made in the USA, Z-XG Sunglasses are non-polarized and designed for extreme glare conditions using proprietary techniques, knowledge and state of the art procedures.
Today's new digital LED/LCD screens are easily read with Z-XG technology. Pilots, boaters, sports and hobby enthusiasts will benefit from the maximum protection available from Zurich Extreme Glare Sunglasses.
Another very significant benefit of this technology is the relief it offers those with sensitive eye conditions, or photophobia. Click here for details. This technology protects the delicate skin around the eyes and prevents damage from ultra violet light.
We guarantee our sunglasses will provide 100% satisfaction or your money will be promptly refunded.

White stork in Turkey
When he wasn't dealing with the mosquitos of Asia Minor back in the spring of 1765, Richard Chandler was touring the countryside and taking notes for his subsequent book Travels in Asia Minor: Or An Account of a Tour Made at the Expense of the Society of Dilettanti.
On the west coast of Turkey he encountered white storks (Ciconia ciconia) to which he referred as cranes. This is what he wrote about them:
The cranes were now arrived at their respective quarters, and a couple had made their nest, which is bigger in circumference than a bushel, on a dome close by our chamber. This pair stood, side by side, with great gravity, shewing no concern at what was transacting beneath them, but at intervals twisting about their long necks, and clattering with their beaks turned behind them upon their backs, as it were in concert...The crane is tall, like a heron, but much larger; the body white, with black pinions, the neck and legs very long, the head small, and the bill thick. The Turk call it friend and brother, believing it has an affection for their nation, and will accompany them into the countries they shall conquer. In the course of our journey, we saw one hopping on a wall with a single leg, the maimed stump wrapped in linen.I don't know about conquering other countries, but the white storks have maintained their special relationship with the country folks of Anatolia.
Almost every village in Turkey probably has at least one stork nest on a tall building, a minaret or even a lamp post. I photographed these 2 nests in a village in southwest Turkey in May 2007. I don't really know how wide a "bushel" would be, but the nest in the photograph below was indeed quite large. Interestingly, it appears to be getting some structural support from the electric cables. I wonder what they would do if they needed to make repairs or replace the cables.
In Turkey, the storks or their nests are almost never maltreated. Unfortunately, however, according to this report, the breeding population of the white stork in Turkey may have declined in recent years.

For all the Scandal fans out there wondering whether Harrison Wright lived or died in the Season 3 finale of Scandal, the verdict is out. Papa Pope had Harrison Wright killed. This was confirmed after actor Columbus Short, whom plays Harrison Wright on Scandal, said he will not be returning for the next season of Scandal.
Columbus Short has been acting on Scandal for the past 3 years. Here is a direct quote from Columbus Short according to the Essence Magazine article ' Columbus Short Exits 'Scandal' Thanks Shonda Rhimes:
" At this time I must confirm my exit from a show I've called home for 3 years, with what is the most talented ensemble on television today."
Short also made a thank you to Shonda Rhimes for giving him the opportunity to act on Scandal. More over, he thanked all the fabulous Gladiators that supported his acting as Harrison Wright.
Currently Short is dealing with family issues as his wife Tuere McCall-Short files for divorce as well as a restraining order against him for alleged domestic abuse allegations. Tuere wants sole custody of their 2 year old baby girl.
Hopefully everything works out for Columbus Short with his family situation. It's been a delight to see him act on Scandal and Gladiators only wish him the best. We Gladiators also look forward to want Shonda Rhimes has in store for us in the next season.
You can watch episodes from Season 3 of Scandal on ABC.

The Theatre Design/Technology MFA Program | Concentrations | Courses | Faculty
The Theatre Design/Technology MFA Program: Concentrations
The MFA program in theare design/technology is currently undergoing revision and is closed to admission.
Scenic Design
It is the responsibility of the scenic designer to collaborate with the director and develop the conceptual ideas that will inform the look and functionality of the scenic design. The scenic designer must work closely with other members of the design team and communicate clearly—through technical drawings, color elevations, scale models, color renderings, and research—all the information necessary to realize the scenic design. Working with the director, the other designers, the technical director, and other members of the production staff, the scenic designer must develop a cohesive design that provides an effective setting for the production.
Costume Design
The costume designer's primary responsibility is to be part of the design team that transforms the words of a play into visual imageries. Costume designers are involved in developing conceptual and artistic ideas that will be used to guide the imageries for a production. The conservatory encourages its students to discover their own processes of formulating design ideas and to develop a discriminating standard for their own endeavors. Above all, it prepares them for creative and meaningful professional lives in the broad range of theatre activities. Designers learn to visualize the world of plays through the garments and clothing the actors wear while collaborating with directors, actors, other designers and technicians, and the professional staff and students in the costume shop. Students learn from a distinguished faculty of professional designers and artists, both in the classroom and through individual guidance and advising during production work. Students receive formal and informal feedback from faculty through portfolio presentations of their work each year. In addition, courses in costume technology are also available—the costume technology artisan takes the costume designer's vision and physically creates them.
Lighting Design
The lighting designer's primary responsibility is to develop conceptual and artistic ideas that will be used to guide the design of the lighting for a production. As a member of the design team, the lighting designer has a significant impact on the visual unity of a production and is responsible for producing the light plot and all related paperwork. Working with the director, the other designers, and other members of the production staff, the lighting designer develops a cohesive design that supports the other aspects of design for the production and helps to create and define the environment of the production.
Technical Direction/Production Management
The technical director, working collaboratively with the scenic designer and others, is responsible for the execution of the scenic elements of a production. This process includes bidding, scheduling, developing technical elevations, supervising crews, budget management, and coordinating with the other departments that are working on the production. Additionally, the technical director is responsible for supervising and coordinating the load-in of scenery and other physical elements of the production into the theatre, helping to organize scene changes that involve moving scenery, and supervising the load-out of the production when the run is over. The production manager does for the entire production much of what the technical director does for the scenic elements. Collaborating and working with the director, stage managers, designers, shop heads, and others, the production manager helps to ensure that the production as a whole is realized in the best possible way.

My sister posted this tonight. Tomorrow is the ten year anniversary of the passing of my best friend I had for 36 years. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the death of my father.Although it may be repetitive to some, my father had the unique gift of making each of his six children feel special at any given time. He had the gift of recognizing the uniqueness of us all. He had the gift of opening up our eyes to see that in each other.
Time passes and though we may feel everything that needs to be said has been said, there is still so much to say. So much to feel. So much to understand. So much to share.Ten years ago I was a much more vulnerable, undisciplined, insincere person than I am today.
Today I am honest with myself and with those who surround me.Life does that. Friends help that. Therapy does wonders! Experiences make us who we are and help us to beam from the inside out.
The more I learn, the more I know how wise Dad was. He is with me every day. He is with all my siblings and all who knew him. If you knew him, you would get it.He didn't speak a lot like most people do, but when he did, it was great! His words were either great words of wisdom that the layman could understand. Or his words would have you rolling in laughter with his humor…kind but so hilarious!
His heart I now know was filled with kindness and love. I know more each day how much he and my mother were alike. And I certainly understand the sadness I feel so many days knowing how much more I could have learned from them before they left us. What incredibly generous people…My heart continues to fill with gratitude for the family I have. Though we first lost our matriarch, then our patriarch, I feel so lucky to have my siblings. We are who we are. We possess the same strengths Dad saw in us, and the same strengths we need to work on. The beauty of it all is we have each other.
There are no bones about it. We have had our disagreements; our moments of shame; our times of feeling excluded and withdrawn, but we have remembered we are who we are and we have so many fond memories of the two incredible people who fell in love so many years ago. They have left us with so much knowledge to carry on their legacy…I am proud to do so!That is our common thread and what has brought us to where we are today. How much sweeter could it be?
So today, Dad, you are honored. You are thought of every day, but today is yours. I tell you often and today I write it…thank you for creating and teaching me a life I so very much appreciate. Thank you for those who are left behind to appreciate you as well…I love you…
You left us with tools for beautiful lives...may you rest in peace knowing your most important job was one well-done.

Abdullah Ibrahim: Water From an Ancient Well
Water From an Ancient Well
Abdullah Ibrahim (Dollar Brand) (piano)
Water From an Ancient Well (TIPTOE 888812-2)
Abdullah Ibrahim (Dollar Brand) (piano),
Dick Griffin (trombone), Carlos Ward (flute), Ricky Ford (tenor sax), Charles Davis (baritone sax), David Williams (bass), Ben Riley (drums).
Composed by Abdullah Ibrahim.
Recorded: Englewood Cliffs, NJ, October 1985
Rating: 96/100 (learn more)
This CD's careless packaging is unfortunate. If not for the interior notes, you might not learn from the jewel case – except for a mention in mice print on the back – that this is Abdullah Ibrahim's "Ekaya" group, one of the most significant if short-lived bands of the 1980s. Nor would you glean from the personnel list that trombonist Dick Griffin, a forceful soloist and integral to Ekaya's overall sound texture, is even a participant.
All that aside, the CD features some of Ibrahim's most noteworthy compositions. Only on the title track, however – all of 12 minutes long – does the group get to stretch out and fully show what it was capable of in a concert or club setting. From Ibrahim's enclosed poem:
water from an ancient well
oh beautiful Africa
that's where I'll always dwell
Ibrahim's piano leads off with a gospel-flavored solo meditation, followed by a beautifully harmonized treatment of the hymn-like theme by the horns and flute. The solos by Davis, Griffin, Ford, Ward, and Williams, in that order, are each highly expressive, emotionally charged and craftily developed. The reprise of the theme is elevated by Griffin's improvised commentary over the melody. Hats off to Rudy Van Gelder (so what else is new?) for faithfully capturing Ekaya's sound. LP or CD, Rudy was the undisputed master.

This question was marked as an exact duplicate of an existing question.
Your question has many answer but I think this is easier to do.
If you don't like the software center (like me) you can simply install the programs via a terminal with the command
Then I simple suggest that you run your scripts. The scripts should simply set up ubuntu the way you want. Install any programs you want and/or set up the system with like; power management, system theme, user background etc.
Good luck and it's always easier to have post-install scripts if you would need to re-install Ubuntu or upgrade it.
Here are pre-existing questions/answers on the site.
Using a PPA to install a version of a program other than the version in the Softeware Centre
I just use remastersys. It just works.

Brick chicken spiced with Calabrian chiles
The New Gemby Michael Hiller | Photography by Jill Broussard | Modern Luxury Dallas magazine | March 6, 2014
Just paces away from a bustling wine bar and a swanky sushi restaurant, newcomer Gemma fits right in. It's the kind of casually refined dining room you would come across in Napa or Nantucket, where the wines wear impressive labels; waiters wear pressed white shirts; and patrons wear whatever they want. But at this Henderson haunt, you can pair chicken al mattone with a $9 wine on tap as easily as a $225 bottle of Rudd from Napa Valley, and Gemma's sommelier, Sabrina Snodderley, won't blink.
Neither will owners Stephan Rogers and his wife, Allison Yoder. The duo recently surrendered their jobs at Napa Valley's acclaimed Press restaurant to relocate to Dallas and open Gemma, their first restaurant venture.
At Press, Rogers served as the executive chef while Yoder was the restaurant's general manager, roles they reprise at Gemma. Judging from a recent visit and its early popularity, the two clearly know what they are doing.
Gemma is a neighborhood restaurant at its heart, tucked away yet frequently sought out. It's a cozy, sleek space that buzzes with energy when the dining room is full, which is most of the time. A long marble bar runs down the left side of the restaurant, and a wood and glass divider delicately delineates the whitewashed brick from the cushioned banquets of the dining area where a gleaming, semiopen kitchen is tucked in the back of the house.
The service ably matches the restaurant's vibe. Staff is knowledgeable and well-trained. The pace is relaxed, so despite the difficulty of snagging a prime reservation for one of Gemma's 55 seats, you never feel rushed.
Rogers' menu isn't breaking any new ground. You've seen this food before. His cooking tends toward the style once known as California cuisine, with a reliance on seasonal, fresh ingredients, simple preparations and bright flavors. "I am not trying to reinvent the wheel," he says. At Gemma, though, the kitchen is paying attention. Everything is handled with a tender touch and comes out impeccably seasoned.
The food here isn't fussy or complicated, yet it's wholly satisfying, starting with the bok choy salad with shaved fennel, chunks of Asian pear, crunchy pomegranate seeds, cashews and a splash of Meyer lemon vinaigrette; or the beautifully composed Kampachi crudo appetizer, with its pristinely fresh Hawaiian amberjack, thinly sliced watermelon radishes and tart blood orange segments. You'd be hard pressed to find better sweetbreads in town. Rogers' are delicious in every way, both crispy and creamy, and then elevated with a swirl of whole-grain mustard along the rim of the plate.
"Everything is good," your waiter will assure you about the one-page menu. He's right. Rogers lavishes considerable attention on his braised veal cheeks, fork-tender and surrounded by tiny Tokyo turnips and baby carrots, sweet cipollini onions, knobs of smoky bacon and corkscrews of black pepper spaetzle. The dish unwraps in layers of flavor: the deep, meaty undertones of veal and bacon; the muted sweetness of the vegetables; a pop of acidity in the sauce.
The brick chicken, with its crackly skin and juicy breast meat, puts pedestrian fried chicken to shame. Throw in the handful of roasted marble potatoes and the kick of a few Calabrian chiles, and you have winter's answer to summer's picnic basket.
The kitchen at Gemma also cranks out its own pastas nightly. On a recent visit, thick ribbons of pappardelle effortlessly intertwined with braised lamb shoulder, king trumpet mushrooms, rapini and lemon thyme. In another dish, it was ricotta cavatelli that two-stepped with a ragu of Texas wild boar, sage and fennel pollen.
Vegetables are more than an afterthought too. Rogers roasts Brussels sprouts with bacon until their outside edges caramelize and their flavors soften and meld. Wedges of acorn squash, oven roasted with garlic and lemon thyme, are heartily satisfying on a chilly day when hibernation seems like the best option.
Given Rogers' and Yoder's Northern California leanings, you might expect a wine list sparked with Napa Valley and Sonoma prizes. You'd be right. But these vinophiles offer a great variety to pair with their fresh and modern American dishes. Among the gems spotted recently—Dalla Valle Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, Colgin's IX Estate Napa Valley Red Wine blend and Kistler Vineyards Chardonnay—you can happily get by on the array of wines served by the glass.
Dinner at Gemma is a relaxed, casual affair, one that you might imagine happening on a good night at a great friend's house. Even better: The kitchen stays open until the wee hours. "I've eaten everything on the menu," a waiter volunteers, "and all of it is my favorite." You'll soon understand what he means.

Suffragette jewelry is loaded with symbology based on colors, but this fascinating antique brooch adds another layer to the story via its horseshoe form. It's both a lucky charm and a feminist message -- a combination I've never seen before, but why not? Certainly, the Suffragettes could've used more luck; they suffered through a lot to win the vote for women.
As you know if you collect Suffragette jewelry, its quirky mix of colors held deep meaning for those who wore it. Green represented hope, purple signified dignity and white stood for the purity of their intentions. The language we associate with "regard" jewelry applied, too: The "G" of green, "W" of white and "V" of violet comprised an abbreviation for Give Women (the) Vote. All this seems cryptic now, but it was clearly understood by everyone in an era when messages were also communicated by which flowers you sent, how you held your fan and which corner of a calling card you folded down, if any.
Possibly because it did double-duty, this brooch has seen more wear than the typical Suffragette jewel. Often, they look nearly like new because of being worn only to meetings and marches, then tucked away after female suffrage was achieved. Here we have a brooch in good, but not perfect, condition. The stones appear original, all with matching pointed tops, and the fastening system is right for the period (complete with elongated pinstem); however, it seems a bit of brass is missing from one end of the "shoe". I didn't notice this until I was taking pictures, so the loss isn't much of a detraction. No doubt a good jeweler could craft the missing piece, if it bothers you.
Overall size is about an inch in both directions and provenance is a Pennsylvania estate.

Man sentenced in robbery of Daytona McDonald's
Published: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 3:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 7:32 p.m.
A man convicted of robbery and aggravated fleeing or eluding, which left an innocent woman seriously injured, will serve 45 years in a state prison, an official said.
Dexter Tooks, 28, was sentenced Tuesday as a prison releasee reoffender and a habitual felony offender and will serve a mandatory minimum of 15 years for robbery concurrent with 45 years for aggravated fleeing or eluding, State Attorney spokeswoman Klare Ly said.
In April 2012, Tooks was driving the car involved in the robbery of a McDonald's restaurant in Daytona Beach when he fled from police and collided with Kristen Bork, Ly said.
Tooks, of Orlando, ran a red light at 50 mph on three rims and one tire when he hit Bork, who is still affected by the injuries she suffered in the crash, Ly said.
At the time of the robbery, Tooks already had six prior felony convictions, including two for fleeing or eluding, Ly said. Tooks also was on probation in Orange County at the time.

It seems lately I've been exposed to a number of movies that just creep right under the skin. And there are more coming, if trailers and synopses are any indication. For those of you who like the slow, atmospheric "arthouse" creeper (in this case, most are horror or sci-fi), here's a guide to must-sees.
The Alamo Drafthouse will be releasing The Quiet Ones, which looks to be a slow horror about poltergeists and mortal meddling. If the trailers are any indication (and sometimes they are), this look to be a ghostly movie that horror buffs should check out.
Another slow-burn horror/sci-fi flick that slithers right down your backbone is Under The Skin. An art house sci-fi that is almost all metaphysical atmosphere and bizarre minimalist music, this Scarlett Johansson-starrer will leave you thinking.
Jake Gyllenhaal stars in another indie thriller that is not so much thrilling as it is completely strange, disturbing and almost absurdist. You might not be able to make too much sense of this creeping thriller about a man who discovers he has a double, but there are certain shots that will leave you sitting awake through the night trying to puzzle them out. Enemy is a film to watch if you like slow, slow builds and nightmarish/dream-like atmospheres but don't necessarily need any sense or traditional narrative thrown in.
Most of these titles have made their way through the film festival circuit and are now appearing in limited releases at general theaters or Alamo Drafthouses, so catch them where you can!

As you know, I have a soft spot in my heart for struggling family wineries, those that have grown up in fits and starts powered by the passion, ingenuity, sweat, and tears of normal folks who decide to follow their dream.
Mike Officer and his wife Kendall Carlisle, who lends her last name to their Carlisle Winery & Vineyards, have lived that story. It's a story that has become almost a cliché over time: young man has his first sip of real wine, falls in love, dreams of making wine, starts making it in his kitchen, then the garage, then at a winery, then starts his own. Even though there are more than a few wineries built on a lifelong dream, that doesn't make it any less impressive or special that a winery like Carlisle has become a success.
Mike Officer was that proverbial kid who tasted a good wine one day and suddenly found himself awake to a whole new world of exploration. Going from "active collecting" of wine in college to making a barrel of Zinfandel at a time, to moving with his wife to Sonoma to be "closer to the source," Officer has been slowly shaping his life around wine, to the point at which just last year he has finally left his corporate job to become a full time winery owner.
Carlisle's first commercial vintage was in 1998, but for several years previous to that Officer and his wife had been making several barrels of old-vine Zinfandel, many of which had begun to win critical acclaim on the county fair and amateur competition circuit. Since 1998 Officer and a select crew of family and friends have been slowly scaling the operation to the point at which they now produce around 5,000 cases of wine.
One thing that has marked the Carlisle operation from the beginning, (and is most likely a testament to Officer's relationship building skills and passion for what he does) has been the fantastic vineyard sources that provide the grapes for their wine. Feeney Ranch, Teldeschi Ranch, Barbieri Ranch -- some of the best old-vine Zinfandel sources in Sonoma County have been selling fruit to Officer for years. With good reason, too. The Carlisle Zinfandels are world class, including this past vintage, which was one of the best wines I tasted at the 2005 ZAP festival.
I was interested, then, when I saw a bottle of Syrah on offer from Carlisle, and picked up a couple to check out. This wine was made from several Syrah vineyards throughout Sonoma. Specifically, the Ray Teldeschi Ranch, Unti Vineyards, Pelkan Ranch in Knights Valley, and Del Carlo Ranch in Dry Creek Valley. The vines from each of these vineyards are relatively young (6 to 15 years old) and have been lightly cropped (some grapes removed) to concentrate the fruit. The grapes were cold soaked for 5 days before fermentation was induced and mid-way through fermentation the juice was pressed into new French oak to finish fermentation and to age for 20 months before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. 380 cases produced.
Tasting Notes:
A dark ruby color in the glass this wine has a heady nose of tobacco, dark black cherry, and sweet vanilla scented oak. In the mouth it is very high-toned with primary flavors of black cherry and vanilla, that make up a slightly unbalanced flavor profile that is dominated by sweet oak components. This is New World winemaking at its most extreme, and unfortunately suffers a little for it. To my palate the fruit is clearly excellent, but the wine has too much oak, and comes off slightly more like Tammy Faye Baker than a nicely put together, sophisticated Syrah, which is what the winemaker intended, I'm sure.
Food Pairing:
This wine needs something a bit heavy to balance it out. I'd suggest a substantial dish like a classic beef daube.

|David Price
David Price begins his eighth season as an assistant track and field coach at East Carolina after serving half of a season as an assistant track and field coach at Gardner-Webb. Price joined the ECU coaching staff in February 2004.
During his first season, Price was instrumental in assisting six athletes earn All-Conference USA honors. During Price's tenure as assistant coach, he has helped 11 ECU athletes set school records in pole vault, hammer throw, weight throw, discus, shot put and javelin while helping 13 athletes qualify for the NCAA Championships, three NCAA All-Americans and one USATF Jr. All-American. In addition, Price also coached eight C-USA champions in weight, hammer, shot put and javelin throw.
During the 2010 outdoor season, Price coached seven throwers to qualify for the NCAA Championship preliminary round, which was the most of any program in North Carolina. Also ECU tied with Louisville and Nebraska for having the 2nd most athletes competing in the preliminary round of the women's hammer of the NCAA Championships. At the Conference USA Championships Price helped Dennis Aliotta(shot put), Matthew McConaughey(javelin), and Maegan Lewis(hammer) to conference titles in their event.
As a recruiter and coach, Price has a knack for identifying and exploiting the talent of his athletes. All but one of ECU athletes to compete at the NCAA Championships, USA Championships and USA Junior Championships has never participated in their respective event before attending ECU.
In 2006 Price was nominated and chosen by the United States Olympic Committee and USA Track & Field to participate in the "Emerging Elite Coaches Program" at the US Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, CA. The Emerging Elite Coaches Program picks four young coaches in each event to work directly with the USATF High Performance Team in finding ways to develop athletes to the medal stand at the Olympic Games and World Championships.
A native of Walhalla, S.C., Price spent four years as assistant coach at his alma mater, Western Carolina University, where he helped the Catamounts win back-to-back Southern Conference Championships in 2000 and 2001 and 22 Southern Conference champions.
Under Price's guidance, high jumper Virginia LaCombe earned All-America honors at WCU in 2002. WCU pole vaulter Michelle Velez also received national recognition after working out with Price as she set the Puerto Rican national record with a vault of 13-feet.
Several members of the WCU track and field team participated in the NCAA, U.S., and Junior Indoor and Outdoor National Championships in the women's high jump and pole vault during Price's five-year coaching stay in Cullowhee.
He was also part of a Southern Conference Championship team in 1998 at East Tennessee State, where he completed a graduate assistantship and received a master's degree in exercise and sport science.
The 38-year-old Price is married to the former Eva Valerie Jalajas, who is also a WCU graduate and standout pole vaulter, who competed in the 2000 NCAA and USA Indoor Championships. Eva teaches in the Physical Education Teacher Education program in the Exercise and Sports Science Department at ECU.
David and Eva are proud parents of two, beautiful daughters, Lily(4 yrs.) and Willow(2yrs.). Price is certified with USA Track & Field Level I and II Coaches Certifications, which includes training in throwing disciplines. He also serves as clinician for the N.C. High School Track Coaches Association in pole vault and high jump events and North Carolina Coaches Association for the shot put and discus.

I want to copy data from table column to another and automatically change the values to match the other's data type.
That is; in one table, a column is "Gender" and the values are Male & Female for every row. Now, while transferring it to the other table, I want "Male" to change to "1", "Female" to "2". I can't do it manually cause it's a huge table.

Is it okay to ask a friend to throw a baby shower for you? I am 32 weeks and no one has offered.
I am 32 weeks and no one has offered to throw me a baby shower. I feel like it's not good etiquitte to ask someone to throw a baby shower for me, but I would really like to have one, even if it's just having dinner with some close friends and not recieving gifts. I definatly know that it is not okay for me to throw one for myself, but I do want to celebrate my pregnancy with some friends. Anyone have any advice?

I am 32 weeks and my babyshower is October 8. I know its kind of close to me having the baby but it was decided that if i have the baby before or on the designated date for the shower, then we would have a shower after with one more in attendance-the guest of honor(my baby boy). I feel like you can have a shower anytime before the baby arrives which the closer you wait till time to have the baby there is a chance it will be an after babyshower which may be my case.posted 09/09/2011 by yheath1069
If you have a good friend you can talk to, you might ask her if she knows if anyone is throwing you a shower. I'd just tell her the truth - you're sad that you haven't heard anything about a shower, after all the showers you've thrown for friends, and if no one else if planning anything, you're going to have to organize a "last cookout" for your self, like the other person said. If there is a "secret" shower, they might hint to you at that point, or do something like tell you to wait. Otherwise, I'd do something for yourself - just don't call it a baby shower! I bet if there is no shower, some people will bring gifts then. I'd do it about a month before the baby comes - no later!posted 05/26/2011 by nimowy
I had 4 showers, my last one being the week before Josh was born ( I was 36 weeks along). Each was a surprise...you never know, a friend can be planning one for you right this minute...no stresses...posted 04/15/2011 by stacianne120
I'm sorry, I'm sure that hurts. Is there a reason no one has offered? Such as this not being your first, etc? I would not ask, I think it's extremely rude and might tick off your friends. A gift given because you ask for it is not a gift at all. If you really just want to "celebrate" with friends, invite them to go get pedi's with you or something like that where they are not pressured to throw you a party. One of my friendships ended by her demanding a shower. After being her MOH (which she interpreted to mean indentured servitude and abused me and her other BMs terribly) she came back from her honeymoon PG. We were discussing MY bridal shower my other BMs wanted to throw me, which she thought was poor ettiquette to have because it was a small wedding. Thats when she said "BTW, someone better throw me a shower for my second baby!" I walked out and never looked back. It was just the last straw on top of everything else she did. She asked another to do it, and they were also ticked.posted 10/31/2009 by jrbennett13
I am sorry no one has offered yet. That is never a good feeling. If it were me and it were a close friend I would express my feelings.."It is important to me to have a small get together, nothing fancy, would you mind helping me put it together?" I would feel honored if someone asked me that! Sometimes friends think the other is throwing it and so on and so forth. Hopefully it will work out as celebrating is a good ritual for this rite of passage. Congratulations and best of luck to you!posted 09/28/2009 by amyst
I can totally relate. No one threw me a baby shower, not a friend or anyone in our family on my husbands or my side. What I think blows our minds is that I have never hesitated in throwing showers for other people, family and friends. Most recently I threw a shower for my sister-in-law that cost me almost $1000!!! (And by the way I still have not disclosed this amount to my husband, we are not exactly rolling in it, and I don't think he is going to be to pleased. Oooops) In life I have learned that you can't expect people to treat you the way you treat them. I personally did not feel right about asking someone to throw me a shower. I am pregnant with our second and I have decided that we (myself, husband and little girl) are going to do something on our own to celebrate this baby's arrival. To me it is not about the gifts it is about celebrating the coming of a new member of our family.posted 09/08/2009 by FatimaMc
I do think asking is not good etiquette. My friend recently asked me if I was throwing her a bachelorette party and she's only been engaged for about a month and has 3 months until the wedding. However, if you really feel like you want a get together and the gifts are not important, I feel it would be fine to throw a dinner party. Even if you put "no gifts please" in the invitations some people might bring them anyway.posted 10/25/2007 by ahammon7
Speaking as a woman who is almost a grandmother (November), I don't see any harm in throwing your own party. If for no other reason, this is a chance to celebrate the closure of one phase of your life and the beginning of a new one. I'll bet one or more of your friends or relatives will take the ball and run with it, having forgotten that time has passed so quickly and that the baby is almost here. And if that doesn't work, there is always time for a post-baby shower with a tactful reminder that you are registered at Target or wherever. I have two children: 26, and 24. When I was expecting my first child, my friends at work threw me this massive baby shower...a complete surprise. I received many gifts and realized at the same time how completely unprepared I would have been without those gifts. Greed is not the issue here, having a little help with baby essentials is the issue. Best of luck.posted 09/23/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
You still have time at 32wks. With my first pregnancy the shower was on Nov 30 and my son was born Dec 12 (due was 18th so they said). I would wait a few more weeks and see what happens. SOme people dont throw a shower early in the pregnancy so if you hit 36wks and not had one hint with family or friends but do so subtley and dont act greedy. You could always have a "last cookout" as a celebration of the coming event and let people decide to bring something or not.posted 09/17/2007 by jlb372
you could hint around but also u need to be careful. if you do have close friends who are involved with your pregnancy, they might be planning a surprise baby shower, you never know!posted 09/14/2007 by glyttercritter

A Close-Knit Community Waits For News
Four police officers and a few contractors stand guard on the road to Pike River Coal's mine, where 29 mine workers are missing after an explosion Friday, and wait. No one is getting through unless they are a miner or part of the rescue operation.
Their job is not particularly challenging, but to them it means they are contributing something to the hopeful rescue of their mates–a rescue that is yet to get underway given concerns about the stability of some gases inside the mine.
They know the men down the mine. In this little community on the west coast of New Zealand's south island, everyone does. They are either related to them or know someone who is.
The small population–just 13,500–of the nearest town of Greymouth is part of the reason for this close-knit community. The region is isolated and the terrain mountainous and rugged: On one side of the town is the Southern Alps, on the other the Tasman Sea.
The mine is even more isolated. Pike River Coal's mine is located in dense bush under land managed by the Department of Conservation. Until surveys of the land began 10 years ago it was untouched.
Access to the gorge remains limited and cell phone signals are intermittent.
Ordinarily this would lead tourists to describe the area as picturesque and quaint. Now it means rescuers have further to travel, hospitals are further away and there is no room for loved ones to wait at the entrance of the mine to see what progress is being made.
The interwoven relationships in this community run deep. Unlike many chief executives of mining companies, Peter Whittall knows each of his missing men, some socially, after spending five years in the region. His wife taught the children of many of those missing.
Grey District Mayor Tony Kokshoorn calls the miners good men, from good families. He says the families, with whom he has spent much of the day at a Red Cross center, are anxious and worried. For Mr. Kokshoorn, the crisis is just as close to home; local councilor Milton Osborne is among those unaccounted for.

Tomato Plants Given Away in London Flash Grow
Londoners will get a surprise this Friday (20th May) morning when they cross Trafalgar Square to work, as it is set to be re-named Tomato Square as 100,000 tomato plants descend on the famous London landmark.
From 6:30am, a team of tomato dressed helpers from B&Q, the UKs largest garden centre retailer, will be giving away two lorry loads of tomato plants in a bid to get the capital growing their own fruit and veg. B&Q has been campaigning to get Brits enjoying their gardens with their Lets Get Gardening campaign which aims to make it easier for customers to tackle gardening jobs with their gardening project demos and deals.
The Tomato Flash Grow is in partnership with the Capital Growth campaign, which offers practical help, grants, training and support to groups wanting to establish community food - growing projects in London. The Greater London Authority (GLA) is also involved and is a dedicated team whose aim is to support both the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson and the London community. Capital Growth is a partnership between London Food Link, the Mayor of London Boris Johnson and the Big Lotterys Local Food Fund, aiming to create 2,012 new community food-growing spaces across London, by the end of 2012.
Last year B&Q sold 214,000 tomato packs of seeds and 250,000 tomato plants making it one of B&Qs most popular fruits to grow. B&Qs Lets Get Gardening campaign revealed that 37 per cent of the nation plan to grow their own veg to eat this year and 57 per cent has their own vegetable patch.
Britains favourite gardener and B&Q Ambassador, Alan Titchmarsh says: Im delighted to support B&Qs tomato plant give-away where 100,000 tomato plants will be given away in Trafalgar Square this Friday (20 May 2011). The Lets Get Gardening campaign is all about encouraging everyone to start gardening and growing. No matter what size your outdoor space from a window sill to an allotment, the campaign makes it easier for everyone to grow a bit of the Good Life.
One lucky Londoner will also get the chance to visit The B&Q Garden at The RHS Chelsea Flower Show as one ticket will be hidden within a plant. The nine metre high vertical garden will be entirely edible to showcase how everyone can grow their own food, however large or small their outdoor space, from a large garden or a balcony, to the tiniest window-box.
Capital Growth has teamed up with Bulldog Tools and B&Q to create the BIG Chelsea Giveaway. Both have kindly donated their edible show gardens, being displayed at the RHS Chelsea Garden Show. Groups joining Capital Growth before the 22nd May 2011 will have the chance to win. For more information please see: http://www.capitalgrowth.org/apply/
Steve Guy, Horticulture Trading Manager at B&Q said; Were hoping that Londoners will snap up our free tomato plants and put them to good use by planting them in their outdoor space, no matter the size. We predict that all 100,000 will be gone by lunchtime, so those wanting one should arrive early to avoid disappointment.
Boris Johnson, said: "London has embraced the 'grow your own' revival as testified by the army of 35,000 volunteers involved in our Capital Growth scheme. This green fingered bunch is helping to beautify our city and bind communities together in a shared passion. I hope this tomato plant giveaway will entice a new crop of Londoners to get the gardening bug, put on some wellies and join up to Capital Growth.'
Rosie Boycott, Chair of London Food and Capital Growth said: "Capital Growth is delighted to be working with B&Q on this fantastic and imaginative event. More and more people are rediscovering the joy of food growing whether in a pot on their window sill, in their garden or as part of a community plot. I hope the gift of a tomato plant inspires even more people to give it a go."

Three more films were added to the Box Office this weekend, but that didn't stop "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" from fighting his way to the top. This is Captain's third weekend in a row at number one. Marvel films typically win the first couple of weeks, it's tough to compete against these heroes. On Monday, the CinemaBlend updated their charts to feature the top 10 movies of the weekend.
What did you catch in theaters this weekend? New to theaters this past Easter weekend were: "Transcendence," "Heaven is for Real," and "A Haunted House 2." Below are the top 10 films. Thanks to BoxOffice.com, below are also worldwide totals and other fun facts about the movies.
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" #1
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" added $26 million this weekend. This brings its worldwide total gross to $586.6 million. The reported budget for this film is $235 million. Starring Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, and Anthony Mackie, "The Winter Soldier" is the third installment in the Phase Two Marvel Cinematic Universe.
"Rio 2" #2
At number two, "Rio 2" held on with $22.5 million. This brings its worldwide total to $277 million. The reported budget for this film is $160 million. The animated film features voices of Anne Hathaway, Jesse Eisenberg, Tracy Morgan, and more.
"Heaven is for Real" #3
Perfect for Easter, "Heaven is for Real" landed in theaters with $21.5 million, climbing to the third spot. This brings its worldwide total to $28.5 million. The reported budget is $33 million. Based on the bestselling book by Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent, "Heaven is for Real" stars Greg Kinnear, Kelly Reilly, and Connor Corum.
"Transcendence" #4
"Transcendence" settled for fourth place with $11 million. It doesn't look good for the sci-fi film; its worldwide total is $28.5 million against its reported $135 million budget. Having Johnny Depp, Rebecca Haul, Morgan Freeman, and Kate Mara attached to this project did not seem to help.
"A Haunted House 2" #5
Production and fans expected "A Haunted House 2" to do a lot better than $9.1 million at fifth place. Although thanks to its small budget (reportedly $20 million), the Wayans should make a decent profit.
"Draft Day" #6
The first NFL endorsed movie, "Draft Day," touched down with $5.9 million. The football film stars Jennifer Garner, Kevin Costner, Dennis Leary, and more. It was made with a reported $50 million budget, and it's not looking good with a worldwide total of $19.5 million so far.
"Divergent" #7
The young adult film of the year (or at least until the third "Hunger Games" hits theaters), "Divergent," is now in seventh place. It collected $5.7 million, pulling slightly ahead of eight place. Its global total is $209 million.
"Oculus" #8
Horror flick "Oculus" accumulated $5.2 million this weekend. This genre isn't exactly too requested in the springtime. Another horror film, "The Quiet Ones," opens April 25. Its worldwide total so far is $21.3 million.
"Noah" #9
"Noah" added $5 to its total, settling for ninth place. The film stars Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connolly, Emma Watson, and more. Worldwide total is $290.6 million, reportedly made with a $125 million budget.
"God's Not Dead" #10
"God's Not Dead" dropped to number 10 with $4.8 million. It is down three places from the previous weekend. With a $2 million budget and considering it is a small film, this is not a bad total.

VORHEES, NJ - The NBA made their official ruling on LA Clippers Owner Donald Sterling that involves; being banned from games, $2.5M fine, and sale of the team to a new ownership. Sterling was caught making racist comments over a phone conversation with his girlfriend that caused worldwide controversy. Soul's Co Owner, Cosmo DeNicola met with the team today, per source, to address the issue.
"While many personalities and franchise owners have addressed the issue publicly, I felt it was extremely important to speak to our players in person," DeNicola said in a press release. "I wanted to make sure that they knew that the comments made by Sterling in no way, reflect the beliefs of myself and the rest of the Philadelphia Soul ownership group."
The team gathered in a photo where they held signs that displayed #Team, #Love, and #Family. These signs were intended to ignored the alleged racist comments that were made last week.
"These gifted athletes aren't just players." DeNicola said. "They deserve respect for the contribution they make to our community, our fans and their families."
The Soul travel to face the Pittsburgh Power this Saturday at the CONSOL Energy Center at 7:00pm ET. The game is catchable on The Comcast Network.

Bad Teacher Movie Reviews
User reviews on Bad Teacher
really good movie but inapropritote for kids!
This movie is the best today went a watched it with the mom and we both were laughing the whole time! XD And still are..
A worst movie hasn't been made yet. There are no parts of this movie with positive influence for the youth of today. Rated H for horrible
I laughed for days after watching this movie. I love Cameron Diaz. Cameron protrayed the worst teacher in the world, I guest you'd have to be a bad person. Also seeing Justin Timberlake in a role like this is just hilarious.
I'll be buying this one!!
This movie is awesome! I watched it not long ago!! I like it! I think Bad Teacher is a real comedy! Thanks for it a lot I will buy essays on it
Maybe it's just me, but this movie would be better if it were entitled: Bad Movie. It should've been a clue to me that there was only 1 other person in the theater. I am a Cameron Diaz fan, but this once was about as bad as a movie she did a couple of years ago called The Box. It tried to be funny, but wasn't. I found it predictable and just plain boring - I actually dozed off for a couple of minutes. I wouldn't even waste the $1 on this at Red Box. Actually, I'm surprised it's not there (at Red Box) already - should be real soon.
Trust me, this movie blows.
It is hard to like a film when you don't like the main character, but somehow Cameron Diaz managed to make this film enjoyable and very frustrating all in the same time. It is hard to root for a character who is selfish, racist and shows signs of antisemitism but Cameron Diaz made it very enjoyable and entertaining to watch this character. The film has pretty crude humor and some raunchy scenes but it is definitely not as bad as "Bridesmaids". Jason Segel was my favorite character and he did a great job as a gym teacher who is actually happy to have that job. Justin Timberlake was alright, it seemed like he was a bit self-concious in this role. Overall, i had a good time watching this film and I recommend seeing it in the theaters.
I am a huge fan of Cameron Diaz and I see every move that she is in. I have never seen her play this type of character and she nailed it just like anything that she does. It was hard to like Diaz's character but it was definitely interesting to watch what she will do. The film has a terrific cast including Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel and Justin Timberlake. I did not like Lucy Punch's character and the rival between her and Cameron Diaz, it was sort of forced and cartoonish. Justin Timberlake was really good in this film and this guy just has it all, I mean he can dance, act and sing, it is almost not fare. Overall, I think the film was good even though it had some major flaws.
I absolutely love Cameron Diaz and she was awesome in this film. Even though her character is mean, gold-digging and snappy, she makes it funny and even likable somehow. Cameron Diaz just totally went for it and did not look back and that is why it worked. Overall, all the actors in this film did a great job. Jason Segel was very lovable and believable in his character and Lucy Punch is great as always. Justin Timberlake was good as well, nothing special but he is always enjoyable to watch. The pace of the film is not very good because when there are no funny moments the film feels too long and that is never good for a comedy. Overall, I think that the film was alright and it made me laugh.
This is a comedy directed by Jake Kasdan and starring Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel and Justin Timberlake. I kind of liked this film but I do not recommend spending your money and seeing it in the theater, this movie is meant to be seen on DVD. I absolutely love Cameron Diaz and I think she was really funny in this role and she just went for it. She is kind of mean and her priorities are all mixed up but she made me laugh. Jason Segel was very likable and I really liked him in this movie. I also really enjoyed watching Lucy Punch, she did a great job with her role. Justin Timberlake was alright, he is just a very charming guy and it is hard not to like him. Overall, the film is not bad but i wish it went a little bit further.

L. major, also known as Elodea crispa makes a dense submerged aquatic perennial that is excellent as an oxygenator, which has stems capable of hiding baby fish from predators. It enjoys ponds and slow moving water, where its mass of branches have numerous, linear, spirally arranged leaves. Plants occasionally produce very small pink flowers in summer, although these are often overlooked. Stems can reach 1m (3ft) long. Excess growth should be regularly thinned during summer to prevent it swamping the pond. Plants should be positioned in the pond at a depth of 25cm (10in) to 75cm (30in). As a general rule, plant one bunch for every square metre of your pond to ensure good water oxygenation. As this species can be invasive in the wild it should not be allowed to spread into areas outside your own garden.
