The growth of cloud services for business has been a hot topic for years now, but 2012 was the year when the cloud went from market hype to mainstream deployment. Most organizations have now adopted a private cloud of some kind, but caution is preventing them from taking full advantage. Exploring the potential benefits of new tools is vital if IT departments hope to see real performance gains.
Recent Gartner research highlights the importance of digital technologies for CIOs in the coming year. Gartner's Mark McDonald described the problem succinctly, "IT needs new tools if it hopes to hunt for technology-intensive innovation and harvest raised business performance from transformed IT infrastructure, operations and applications. Without change, CIOs and IT consign themselves to tending a garden of legacy assets and responsibilities."
What Is the Problem?
As it stands we are seeing widespread adoption of private clouds that essentially act as virtualized infrastructure. That's undeniably useful, but it doesn't solve the underlying business problem which is how to accelerate the delivery of features. Features come from the application. If we really want to leverage the potential power of the private cloud then we should be working toward a setup that supports fast, cost-efficient and error-free changes to the application layer.
What we're talking about here is adding value by rolling out features internally and externally at a much quicker clip without jeopardizing the end quality. We need to go beyond infrastructure to private PaaS.
Why PaaS May Fall Short
There are quite a few PaaS solutions on the market, but many of them are not suitable for today's enterprise and there are a number of reasons for that. The majority of them run fully or mainly in the public cloud, which immediately raises security concerns. They tend to support a very limited subset of middleware and database solutions, so integration is difficult. Interoperability has not been given enough weight and that can lead to serious difficulties down the line. There's a real lack of mobility for an application deployed via a typical PaaS service right now. You may find your business locked into a cloud service platform provider.
A start-up might see the value in adopting one of these PaaS solutions because it allows them to avoid capital expenditure at the outset, but what if your business already has a large datacenter? Many enterprises will want the option to use their existing setup and they'll naturally shy away from becoming reliant on a particular vendor environment.
What Is the Goal?
What we are really looking for here is the ability to deliver the benefits of PaaS with your existing middleware environment. You need a solution that supports automated, efficient, error-free application updates. You need a system that supports auto-scaling of your runtime environment. You need a system that can deliver an end-to-end insight into your running applications and their configuration.
The aim is to free your business and your development team from the cost and complexity of managing the underlying hardware and software systems that allow you to deploy your applications. When a new feature request comes in or customer feedback leads development in a new direction, private PaaS should enable you to deliver faster than ever before and with fewer errors. An automation interface that is accessible for the team is infinitely more efficient, not to mention more cost-effective.
Working Towards Automation
Once you have a private PaaS it's important to ensure that your new features are rolled out onto the platform automatically if you want to leverage the maximum benefits from the system. Integration of your development tooling and test suites will enable your company to provide frequent, automated updates of incremental feature improvements that happen automatically.
The benefits are obvious both internally and externally. Not only can you automatically scale and manage your existing functionality as required, but you can also add new functionality without fear of introducing errors. It's easy to get a clear overview of your complete application state every step of the way.
If you can roll out new features and updates in this way then your development team can remain focused on what's important - improving the product and delivering value to its users.
I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Lena Dunham and Vogue Respond to Photoshop Controversy
Lena Dunham has been revealed as the cover girl of Vogue for its February issue. Dunham's appearance in the magazine, however, has sparked allegation whether her photos were digitally altered. On Thursday, January 16, a feminist site Jezebel offered $10,000 for unaltered photos from the magazine spread and they received six photos in two hours.
Before the alleged original photos were published, the creator of "Girls" took to Twitter to share some wise words. Without mentioning the photo controversy, Dunham wrote. "Some s**t is just too ridiculous to engage. Let's use our energy wisely, 2014." She also replied to someone's tweet, saying, "10k? Give it to charity then just order HBO."
Jezebel claimed that the magazine had altered some parts of Dunham's body and face in the photos. They also pointed out that a pigeon on Dunham's head in one snap was from stock photo. Vogue then took to Instagram to slam the accusation, sharing a photo of a man styling the actress with a pigeon on her head. "The Vogue pigeon. Any questions?" they captioned the snap.
In a post offering the bounty, editor Jessica Coen explained that they did not want to see "what Dunham herself 'really' looks like," but they were talking about body image issue. On Friday morning, Dunham posted a tweet which seemingly addressed the Photoshop controversy, writing, "Way cooler when people do things out of pure blind spite than out of faux altruism."

"The Baseball Show" to be Simulcast in Partnership with WEEI
"Sports Sunday" Surpasses Traditional Broadcast Coverage with Comprehensive Focus
BURLINGTON, MA – Reflecting Comcast SportsNet's mission of providing the most authentic, insightful and entertaining local sports coverage, the network is launching two new weekend sports shows that cover New England sports with a thoroughness and passion that is unavailable anywhere else in the region. Comcast SportsNet's two new initiatives – The Baseball Show and Sports Sunday - debut the weekend of May 2.
"Weekends are prime time for sports fans and The Baseball Show and Sports Sunday will take an inside look at the teams, players and rivalries that make rabid New England sports fans tick," said Bill Bridgen, Comcast SportsNet executive vice president and general manager. "The Baseball Show goes beyond anything on local TV today with its honest and authentic Red Sox coverage, and Sports Sunday promises to start each week with an edgy, opinionated debate of everything relevant to local sports fans."
The Baseball Show will run each Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon and feature host Michael Felger, CSN exclusive baseball analyst Lou Merloni, and veteran Boston Herald baseball scribes Steve Buckley and Sean McAdam. The Baseball Show will take on the issues other networks only gloss over, feature live calls to let Red Sox fans sound off and include player interviews as Felger, Merloni, McAdam and Buckley examine the highs and the lows of each week of the baseball season.
The Baseball Show will be the very first TV/radio simulcast in the Boston area. Originating from Comcast SportsNet's studios in Burlington, MA, The Baseball Show will reach 4.4 million homes across New England and millions of WEEI radio listeners in Boston and other major New England markets, including Cape Cod, Worcester, Providence, Hartford, and Portland. Fans can also listen to the shows online at CSNNE.com and WEEI.com.
"We've had great success with our Sunday morning baseball programming with Sean McAdam and Steve Buckley. It is one of the most popular shows we air all year long. Adding Michael Felger and Lou Merloni to the mix will create an outstanding quartet of knowledge and credibility that will surely be a must listen for WEEI's listeners and a must watch for Comcast SportsNet's viewers," said Jason Wolfe, Entercom Boston vice president of programming and operations.
The one-hour Sports Sunday will air Sunday nights at 10 p.m., an hour and a half or more ahead of the traditional weekend broadcast sports wrap-up shows. Sports Sunday will feature the ever-vocal Felger who is never afraid to break from the pack with his opinions. Sports Sunday will preview the week's top news and feature interviews with the region's top athletes, writers and personalities.
"There's no need to wait until 11:30 or later on Sunday night," Felger said. "Sports Sunday will go beyond the sound bites and photo ops to see what's pushing the buttons of New England sports fans. We intend to push a few of our own particularly on the issues that few others will address."
The Baseball Show will replay from 12 to 3 p.m. on Saturdays. Sports Sunday will replay at 11 p.m. on Sundays and Monday mornings at 7 and 8 a.m.
Comcast SportsNet reaches more than 4 million households in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Comcast SportsNet's programming includes the Boston Celtics, Mohegan Sun Sports Tonight, Celtics Now, Sports Sunday, The Baseball Show, New England Tailgate, and Net Impact. Comcast SportsNet's partnership with the 17-time NBA Champion Boston Celtics is the longest team-regional sports network relationship in New England and the fourth longest in professional sports. Comcast SportsNet New England is owned and managed by Comcast Sports Group. Visit www.comcastsportsnet.com for more information.
Comcast Sports Group operates 10 sports networks that cover more than 2,400 live sporting events annually and deliver comprehensive sports news and analysis to 40 million cable and satellite homes.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Alan Silverman took some tight half-swings with the stickball bat, chewing his wad of gum as if it were tobacco. It was growing too dark to see. Alan watched Joe Condello's right hand; Joe had a trick of pitching suddenly,. without a windup.
Alan needed a hit; he hadn't been able to connect all afternoon. He took a few more swings, the way DiMaggio, did. Then the pitch came down, low and outside.
"Ball! One and one!"
"That was over!" shouted Condello.
"Over the Bronx!" called Shaun Kelly, the captain of Alan's team. "That was so wide you could drive a Mack truck through it."
"How about a decent pitch, Condello, huh?" Alan called, trying to sound like Shaun. But he knew the moment he said it, that he actually sounded like Alan Silverman, with that uncertain huh at the end. That half apology.
"Cars!" someone called.
Passing cars were an automatic time-out. Alan walked over to the curb with the others and let his mind float. It was Yankee Stadium. He had just rounded the bases and was jogging to the dugout, while above him the crowd roared. He had done it! The headlines in the Daily News, the Times, the Mirror, the Post all screamed: Al Silverman breaks Ruth's record! sixty-first and sixty-second home runs in same game! Yankee fans go wild! parade down broadway planned!
But the majestic applause in his ears died as the cars passed, and the towering stadium became his apartment building again. The Oak Terrace Arms. Five stories with neither oaks nor terraces, just hallways and heavy metal apartment doors painted brown to look like oak or hickory or moldy chocolate. The Oak Terrace Armswith its old-fashioned chandelier in the lobby. And Finch, the crankiest superintendent in the U.S.A.
The cars were gone. "Play ball!" Joe Condello shouted. "It's getting dark."
Alan stepped up to the plate again, knocking imaginary dirt from his shoes with the stickball bat. He crouched, the bat held way back. Joe wound up, looked toward first, then hesitated.
"Balk!" someone called.
"Like hell! The game's over, that's what!" Joe shouted. "Called account of darkness. We won!"
"What do you mean!" Shaun Kelly walked over. "We didn't get our licks! You can't win if we don't get our licks!"
"That's just tough, Kelly! When it gets dark, the game's over. That's the rule."
Alan threw the bat to the ground as if he were angry, but inside he was relieved. He hadn't seen that last pitch at all. Joe was being dumb as usual; the darkness was in his favor. But when Joe Condello decided something, that was that.
Alan tried to sound like Shaun again. "Even if you won, so what? We still. beat you the last three games in a row."
"But not by five points, Silverman! We won by five points! Eat 'em for dinner. Point, point, point, point, point! Eat 'em with your herring."
"Hey!" called Shaun. "Get that, Al! He can count to five! I saw a horse who could do that in Barnum and Dailey. Only thing is, the horse could count to six!"
"Shut your freaken mouth, Kelly! You and Silverman! Some pair! You Jew-lover, you!"
Get him for that, Alan thought. Even if you can't beat him. Even if Don't think! Just get him!
Joe spit on the ground near Alan. Then he turned and walked away, bouncing the ball high with total contempt. As Alan lunged toward Condello, Shaun grabbed Alan's arm and twisted it behind his back and up.
"Let go my arm, Shaun!"
"Shut up," Shaun hissed at him. "Condello can kill you. . . . Hey, Condello! Don't wet your bed! Nighty-night."
"Up yours, freaken Jew-lover!" Joe called, spitting again. Joe kept right on walking. He was heavier than Shaun, but he knew that Shaun Kelly was the fastest, trickiest fighter in the neighborhood. Joe had lost too many fights to him. Lost them before he could use his weight, against Shaun, before he could land a solid punch.
Alan struggled to free himself. "I don't need your help, damn it! Let go, Kelly!"
"You don't need my help, bull! You're crazy! Forget about Condello. Who cares about him. Besides, I gotta eat; I don't have time for fights." Shaun released his grip. Condello was gone.
Alan stepped back from Shaun to turn his anger into distance. "Thanks a lot," he said, rubbing his arm above the elbow.
"You're welcome. No charge."
Alan shook his arm and bent it three or four times the way a batter does when he's been hit in the elbow with a bad pitch. Then he picked up the bat and cracked it angrily on the sidewalk.
"Good shot," said Shaun. "You'll break the bat."
They walked silently toward the lobby of the Oak Terrace Arms. Alan pushed the big iron-grilled lobby door, walkingahead of Shaun. The door's hinges screeched a tune as it opened, and a slower, sadder one as it closed behind them. It sounded like a baby crying, or an angry cat, or a long-tailed demon.
Shaun lived on the second floor; Alan's apartment was on the third. Sometimes they stopped to talk for a minute outside Shaun's door before Alan went up the next flight. They paused in the hallway and shuffled.
"See you in the morning, I guess," said Alan, sullenly. They always walked to junior high together. Alan clicked the stickball bat against the tiled floor of the hallway. There was a slight echo. He clicked faster, trying to overtake the echo.
"Joe Condello can turn you into mashed potatoes," said Shaun. Alan kept clicking the bat. "You're not too smart, you know. Maybe you're good with school stuff, but you don't know when to lay off. . . . So you're Jewish, so what? I'm Catholic. So you're a Catholic-lover, so what? Who cares?"
Alan whispered in the echoing hallway, "Your father cares. He doesn't want me to hang around with you."

Definately the best book ive ever read. To fully experience all the different emotions in the book, one has to look inside themselves for a deeper, greater person. Some books dont change people, but some do. This is one of the books that do. I reccommend this book to anyone looking for a beautiful, emotional tale about a simple stickball player and a lovely doll from europe.
I love it
I have never in my life read a book that changed me emotionaly and metialy until Alan and Naomi its a book about love and strenght and a book about the human will to survie and the human abilty to love and understand This book is a masterpiece
I heard about this book from my summer reading list and thought it was excellant. We watched the movie in my school and I would definately recommend that movie to the people who have read the book.
This book is really good. The first time I read it, it made me cry! I loved it.
Alan and Naomi is a great book. It has so much depth and compassion, that one must reach inside their soul to understand, and comprehend.

El Monte, CA - February 18, 2009 - iBUYPOWER, known for its innovative and powerful gaming PCs, is excited to announce three new Gamer systems available exclusively on Newegg.com. The Gamer Power 505, Gamer Power 903, and Gamer Extreme 968i range in price from $499-980, and span the gamer spectrum - from the beginner who wants a fresh looking machine at a reasonable price to the advanced gamer looking for a powerful system at a great value.

It is the ideal system for a price-conscious budding gamer looking for a stylish rig.
The iBUYPOWER Gamer Power 903 is built around Intel's Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz processor, NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS graphics, and is housed in a painted iBUYPOWER Vantage Case with a detailed Halo2 side panel graphic.

Associated Press | Last updated September 14, 2013
Not long ago, the Seattle Sounders found themselves needing to pick up as many points possible just to get back into playoff positioning. Very quickly, the Sounders made up the ground and find themselves as the points leaders in Major League Soccer. ''We've kept climbing, kept climbing and now we're in first place. Now we've got to make sure we stay there and enjoy the view a little bit,'' Seattle coach Sigi Schmid said. Obafemi Martins scored just three minutes into the match to give Seattle an early lead, Lamar Neagle added a second goal in the 38th minute, and the Sounders took over the MLS points lead with a 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake on Friday night. The Sounders (15-8-4) vaulted past Salt Lake in the Western Conference standings and now sit atop the entire league with 49 points after their fifth straight victory. The Sounders are one-point ahead of RSL (14-9-6) and four ahead of the Eastern Conference trio of Montreal, New York and Sporting Kansas City with about six week...

On the carefully manicured lawn at Loreto Mandeville Hall Catholic girls school in Toorak, a sea of girls in white hats waited patiently for the arrival of international superstar Katy Perry.

Katy Perry meets fans at winning girls' school
Pop star visits fans at Toorak's Loreto Mandeville Hall College after the girls' school won a video competition.
The singer is in town for her Prismatic tour and will perform Friday night at Rod Laver Arena but on Thursday afternoon she fielded questions from the excitable students, winners of a Telstra-sponsored competition for their film clip that sung the virtues of their school and included Katy Perry lyrics.
The prize was $10,000 for their performing arts program, twenty tickets to Perry's Friday night concert and a visit from the star, resplendent in colourful silk shorts and t-shirt and a Frida Kahlo-inspired braid.
"If I could talk to my childhood self right now I'd say stop worrying about boys, they're very distracting," advised Perry, who shot to fame in 2008 with the lipstick lesbian anthem I Kissed A Girl.
She also implored the students to work hard, because "knowledge is power, the more you can focus on your studies, the more powerful and strong you are", told them of her favourite colours, "all the pastels, Easter colours" and inspirations - her sister, a new mother, punk pop icon Gwen Stefani, and Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.
"You should check out her art and her story, if you don't know about Frida Kahlo it's a gorgeous story about strength and perseverance and beauty, and finding beauty even in all the pain she went through," said Perry.
One student asked Perry, 30, what her favourite age was.
"There's a lot of change that happens in your 30s, a lot of maturing and a lot of not really caring what anyone thinks about you, just caring about what you think about yourself," Perry said. "That being said, I liked my metabolism at 23, I liked 23, around that age because you're a little bit more invisible, you've got a little more collagen -- you'll know what that means later on in life."
The four students who appeared in the winning video led a percussion ensemble in another song welcoming Perry, and assembled on stage for a photo with their idol.
"She told her what shampoo she uses so now I'm going to use the same one so I can smell like her," said nine-year-old Gillian McDaniel.
"She inspires me because she wears different costumes to other people, she doesn't care if she's different," said Claudia McNee, 9.
Perry praised the girls for the creativity and genuineness that came across in their winning video.
"The four girls in these uniforms they made this adorable video that seamed together the titles of my songs, and they made it in so many different ways and so many different areas, I think they used the whole school grounds to do it, and they were just so genuine about it," she said.
"I think they really liked expressing themselves and being creative with it."
Perry has sold 81 million singles and over 11 million albums. Friday night's show is the first of eight she will perform in Melbourne at Rod Laver Arena.

Ed Timms, MCT
SPRINGDALE, Washington County — A 47-year-old Ohio woman died Thursday after falling more than 100 feet while canyoneering in Zion National Park.
Park rangers were notified about 3 p.m. of a serious fall in the Left Fork of North Creek, also called the Subway. Cheri Hass had fallen more than 100 feet and did not survive, park officials said.
The Left Fork of North Creek is a popular canyoneering route, accessible only with a wilderness permit. The seven- to nine-hour route requires navigating past numerous boulders, ledges and waterfalls, as well as wading and swimming through several miles of the creek's cold water, park officials said.
Hass was completing the 2 ½-mile approach hike to the Subway with friends and was leading the group when she fell, park officials said. Her boyfriend rappelled down to her, while the other two members of the group hiked out and phoned for help, according to park officials.
Zion National Park has requested help from Grand Canyon National Park's helicopter search and rescue crew for assistance in the recovery.
"The park staff extends their condolences to Ms. Hass' family and friends," said Jock Whitworth, Zion National Park superintendent. "It is truly a tragedy."
Thursday's accident marks the second incident this week of a visitor getting too close to a cliff edge, slipping and falling. On Monday, 33-year-old Clark Proffitt fell in Behunin Canyon. Proffitt was wearing a helmet, which likely saved his life. He's being treated at the University Medical Trauma Center in Las Vegas.
"In both instances, we strongly suspect that these events were caused by getting too close to the edge of a cliff," Whitworth said. "Loose sand on slick rock may have been the cause of the falls. Given the topography of Zion National Park, these accidents could have occurred anywhere, even popular trails in the main canyon, including Angels Landing and Observation Point. All of us need to maintain situational awareness and be extremely careful anytime we are near an edge."

Leggo my LEGOs
There are toys, and then there are the classics. LEGO blocks stand staunchly, a zillion towers strong (all of them handbuilt by families around the world over a period of several decades), on the immortal side of the gate, simply because absolutely everyone loves them: boys, girls and especially obsessive dads who commandeer the colorful bricks and build away for hours while the kids grow bored and find something else to do.
So give ColoradoFIRST, the regional branch of an ongoing national youth robotics competition, credit for liberating LEGOs and returning them to the hands of children. And if you'd like to see the technology-boosting organization at work, drop by the Denver Museum of Nature & Science on Saturday, October 14, for the FIRST LEGO League Rookie Booster Event, featuring teams of elementary- and and middle-school students collaborating to build LEGO robots that must then maneuver challenge courses. Engineers-in-training who aren't already on a team might just decide to sign up for one, and even those nosy dads who hog the LEGOs at home won't feel left out: Kids and parents are invited to work together during a concurrent public LEGO Challenge event on the second level of the museum.
Build it and they will come: Join the rookies from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the museum, 2001 Colorado Boulevard; the event is free with regular museum admission. Call 303-322-7009 or visit www.dmns.org. -- Susan Froyd

Excellent 4.3 /5 from 79 reviews
Excellent hotel and service. Rooms very large and well equipped. Little bit of a walk to the main road but not bad.
Excellent location. Walk to some good restaurants. Lots of experience pats
Like the hotel , great location ! They upgraded my room to -free of charge . My only complaint was the air conditioning did not work in the bedroom. It was broken upon arrival which the conceirge noted but it was not fixed. There were also little bugs in the kitchen area and front door, oh and my guest got flea bites from the couch in the living room . But overall the stay was great . Loved how spacious the room was, with a beautiful balcony . Breakfast was right on delicious. Would stay again , if improvements were made.
Always a great place to stay. Breakfast gets a bit dull after the 4th day, but this is a great place. My only knock on it has to do with its location. Being all the way down Soi 11, traffic is awful most of the evening.
I used to stay at this hotel years ago and liked it a lot back then. They've gotten even better. First, the "room" is like an apartment. And it has everything, right down to a washing machine. The breakfast has been drastically upgraded and is really nice. In terms of value for the money, it's fantastic.

How is Hired To Kill an actual thing that exists? Getting the Blu-ray from Arrow Video solely on the basis of the press release describing the film's co-star Oliver Reed "chewing up the scenery behind an elaborate moustache," I did not recall any of the plot details when I popped in the disc. So it was with much disbelief and amusement that I watched 90 minutes of something so outrageous that it felt like a parody but was shockingly, not intended as such. If Astron-6 ever gets around to doing for action films what they did for Giallos with The Editor, the result would be akin to Hired To Kill. (more…)
For the first half of the 1990s, if Redd Kross was involved in something, I was interested. Any band they toured with or recorded with or even name-checked was a band that I would check out. I was rarely disappointed. Enter The Muffs, who I associated with Redd Kross originally because they were both from Southern California and had both punk rock and bubblegum pop cred. And there was the Bill Bartell connection. Plus, Kim Shattuck and Melanie Vammen were ex-Pandoras members, a band I was fond of after hearing them on WTUL New Orleans in the mid-'80s.
Not long after the band's eponymous debut, Melanie left and former Redd Kross drummer Roy McDonald replaced original drummer Criss Crass. So I was extremely interested in hearing Blonder and Blonder, The Muffs' 1995 release from Warner Bros./Reprise Records.
Toronto residents! If you haven't seen Manhunter in a while or if you've never seen it on the big screen, you'll get your chance tonight at The Royal, where the Neon Dreams Cinema Club is putting on a screening of the film at 8:00 p.m. As always, come early for the pre-show and remember that The Royal is a fully licensed venue.
When most people think of Dr. Hannibal Lecter, they think of Anthony Hopkins. This is a bitter pill to swallow for those of us who fell in love with Bryan Fuller's Hannibal and subsequently, Mads Mikkelsen as the titular killer. Yet even before that TV show birthed the devotees known as Fannibals, there were still those of us who always gave Hopkins' portrayal of Lecter the side-eye. After all, he wasn't the first to take a crack at the doctor cum psychopath (even though they only called him a psychopath because they didn't know what else to call him).
Italian horror movies are a strange and different beast. American horrors rely mostly on jump scares and urban legends, things that go bump in the night. Italian fright flicks don't care about your childhood scary stories. In fact, they don't even care about linear storytelling. Most of them are simply a pastiche of set-pieces, offering gross-out after gross-out, with the barest thread of a plot holding everything together. It's the visuals that matter, not the story.
That makes A Cat in the Brain all the more interesting. Lucio Fulci, king of the Italian gore movies, went straight up meta with this movie.
I like the idea of collecting the musing and essays from individual Arrow releases into a single bound book. In theory, that is. In reality, if I'm interested in reading analysis on a specific film, like Dressed to Kill, wouldn't I already have that Blu-ray in my collection?
There's a chance the answer to that tug of war will color the amount of value you're able to find in Cult Cinema: An Arrow Video Companion. I flip-flopped on this as I meandered through its pages. When faced with a piece on Zombie Flesh Eaters I struggled to muddle through. Perhaps a mix of topic and writing style, I just couldn't commit to paragraph after paragraph on a movie I didn't have much interest in, and that was my reaction to the majority of this book.
With some technical difficulties preventing us from talking about a certain Warrior Princess (stay tuned for this one, though) on this week's TV or GTFO, Sachin and Gary decide to talk about a Prince instead. A Fresh Prince.
If, for some reason, you haven't somehow sussed out our subject for this week, we'll be talking about the Will Smith vehicle The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, which aired for six seasons between 1990 and 1996. It's a story all about how Smith's life got flipped—turned upside down. So take a minute, sit right there, because we'll tell you how he became the prince of a town called Bel Air. This was a show that both of us enjoyed a lot while it aired, so we'd hoped that it would hold up better than it has.
Why doesn't anyone experience any growth or change on this show? What happened to the original Aunt Viv? Where did Nicky come from? WHY DOES NOTHING HAPPEN IN THE SERIES FINALE?? Find out on this week's episode of TV or GTFO!

Since childhood, I've wanted to make movies. Last night I got to watch a documentary about a group of kids who were determined to make a shot for shot remake of Raiders Of The Lost Ark. Raiders! The Story Of The Greatest Fan Film Ever Made tells the story of this incredible attempt and the resulting admirable success.
By Hanna
The Twinkeyz are the kind of band that record collectors delight in, artistic and obscure enough to have little material, but not so obscure that there is no material available. And more than that, they have a definite and interesting style of music. The Twinkeyz are recommended in particular for fans of protopunk and the Velvet Underground, or even of neo-psychedelica. The Twinkeyz can be seen as part of the development of glam rock into punk, when the parts of punk had emerged, but not yet coalesced into a set of rules or expectations. By the time Alpha Jerk was released, punk had moved on into new genres, but The Twinkeyz were still being different.
It's Good News/Bad News time. The good news is that I am submitting a chapter to an upcoming book anthology. The bad news is that the deadline is quickly approaching and I need to finish!
This means that Popshifter will be going on a bit of a break until June. In the meantime, please enjoy the following articles that you might have missed over the last couple of weeks.
What about movies? If you're looking for something to see this weekend that is the exact opposite of The Nice Guys, you might try Ben Wheatley's High-Rise. Tyler Hodg enjoyed the videogame adaptation of Rachet and Clank, while Christine Makepeace was appalled by the sexism in documentary All Dolled Up.
If you want music recommendations, look no further than Popshifter! Melissa Bratcher enjoyed the self-titled debut of Big Star's Jody Stephens with Luther Russell, a.k.a. Those Pretty Wrongs; adores by Ominivore's reissue of two albums from The Blind Boys Of Alabama; thinks the latest album from Gregg Martinez, Soul of the Bayou, is a charmer; and is thrilled by the way On The Ropes shows that the Honeycutters keep getting better.
Tim Murr thinks Black Absinthe could be as big as AC/DC after hearing Early Signs of Denial; Tyler fondly reminisces about Sloan's album The Double Cross on its five-year anniversary and praises Royal Tusk for adding some spice to the frequently stale genre of rock on DealBreaker; and Eric Weber describes his history of discovering Divine's music in his review of the Cherry Red Records anthology, Shoot Your Shot.
Finally, Sachin Hingoo catches us up with what's happening on Lucha Underground.
By Eric Weber
The time was 1991; the place was Wax n Facts in Atlanta, Georgia.
Flipping through the packed cardboard box, my jaw dropped when I saw the huge white letters emblazoned across the top of the record sleeve: DIVINE.
I quickly snatched it up, examining every inch of the album. I couldn't believe it. Divine: Greatest Hits. He had hits?
