Patrick Dane writes for Bleeding Cool
This was always inevitable. Only two days ago I was wondering when we would get an official announcement. It seems I didn't have to wait long at all.
John Cohen, of Despicable Me success, has been hired as the producer on the upcoming Angry Birds movie, which will hit cinemas during the summer of 2016. Former Marvel Studios chairman David Maisel is also on board as executive producer.
Speaking of Marvel Studios, the film is going to be produced and financed by Rovio Entertainment. Mikael Hed, CEO of Rovio Entertainment, said via the press release:
With John's hands-on producer background and David´s expertise in establishing and running his own successful studio, these two are the dream team for making a movie outside the studio system. Both professionals have the ideal skills and vision to achieve incredible things.
So there you have it, Rovio Entertainment are now a movie production company.
Hed doesn't exactly let on what these 'incredible things' are and if they will include anything outside of the Angry Birds franchise. But something tells me that I might be waiting a little while for an Amazing Alex movie.

On July 3, 2013, an OHA Hearing Officer issued a Decision in which she determined that an Individual's access authorization should not be restored. In reaching this determination, the Hearing Officer found that the Individual had not resolved the security concerns raised by the Local Security Office (LSO) under Criterion L arising from his six alcohol-related arrests, multiple traffic citations, and false statement during a Personnel Security Interview (PSI). The most recent alcohol-related arrest was Aggravated Driving While Intoxicated arrest, which occurred in October 2012. At the hearing, the Individual denied having consumed alcohol prior to the arrest, yet he refused to take a breathalyzer at that time and pleaded guilty to the charge. The Hearing Officer found that, based on the evidence presented to her including the guilty plea and refusal to take the breathalyzer, she could not find that the Individual had mitigated the concern based on his 2012 ADWI arrest. Further, the Hearing Officer found that taken along with that arrest, the five other alcohol-related arrests and thirty-one traffic citations showed a pattern of criminal conduct. Although the Individual has a good employment record, successful rehabilitation shown by a passage of time is eradicated by the recurrence of criminal activity as represented by the 2012 ADWI. Finally, the Hearing Officer could not find that the Individual mitigated the security concern raised by his statement during the PSI that he had not consumed alcohol prior to his 2012 ADWI because he refused to take a breathalyzer and pleaded guilty to the charge. Although the Hearing Officer was unsure of whether he actually consumed alcohol prior to the ADWI, she erred on the side of caution and found that the Individual did not mitigate the security concern. The Individual has a burden of showing that he did not make a false statement. He did not make that showing at the hearing. Therefore, the Hearing Officer concluded that the Individual's access authorization should not be restored.

The location was great.... but that was about it. Room was large but massively overlooked (we stayed in 428) so curtains were constantly closed. Pool area was dirty and no clean towels. Card keys for the room stopped working 3 times and had to go back to reception. Massively over priced for what you get.

UConn heavily pursued the 6-foot-9 Obekpa, who played his high school ball at Our Savior New American School in Centereach, N.Y.
NAPIER'S NUMBERS: Shabazz Napier, the Big East Player of the Week, has totaled an absurd 34 points in 24:40 of overtime this season. Per 40 minutes, he's scoring at a Pistol Pete-rate of 55.2 points per game
LAST TRIP TO THE GARDEN: Banned from the Big East tournament, tonight's game marks UConn's last visit to Manhattan. "It kind of hit us that it will be our last game there this year," Napier said. "As a freshman coming to UConn, you want to play in the Garden, it's a beautiful thing to play in the Garden. We want to go give 110 percent because it's our last time there this year."
DOUBLE-DOUBLE ANYONE?: Twenty games in, not one Husky has recorded a double-double. Napier came close versus USF (24 points, eight rebounds), as did DeAndre Daniels versus New Hampshire (seven points, 10 boards) and Ryan Boatright against Fordham (26 points, nine assists).

The brief return of warmer weather this past weekend had families coming back out for the swim sessions offered at the Kinsmen Sportsplex.
"When it got really cold, not many people showed," said Curtis Dumont, a lifeguard and water safety instructor at the Sportsplex. "As it's warming up here, we'll see more of a bump in our attendance."
The Sportsplex family swims typically draw between 30 and 50 people, Dumont said, including family members who stay after weekend lessons and younger families who are coming out before or after a toddler's nap time.
For the Sportsplex, "regulars" to the family swim are usually parents and children who accompany someone enrolled in swim lessons.
"Regulars are families that are here for lessons. Within that six to nine week period, those regular peple are here on Saturdays and usually stay to swim a little more," Dumont explained.
A big draw for families is that the main pool is also opened up, Dumont said.
"Alongside our family swim, we also open up the main pool ... parents will come out with their kids and one will spend time with the kids in the leisure pool, hot tub or water slide while the other jumps in and swims laps for exercise," he said.
Family swim runs every Friday from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The cost of admission is the same as other public swims.

A "Can Do" Attitude!
"I can do all thing through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13).
Allow me to create a "step study." A "step study" seems tedious but can help in the application of a passage. This is lengthy but will read fast:
"I" – Because of the first person pronoun "I," the reader automatically becomes a part of the verse.
"I CAN" – Saying, "I can" leaves out any "I think," "I might," "I could," or "I should."
"I CAN DO" – When we say, "I can do," what we mean is that we can put our lives into action with confidence. It is not just a passing thought.
"I CAN DO ALL THINGS" – Everything within righteous reason is possible with the right attitude.
"I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH" – There is a powerful source through which we can accomplish much. It is not beside of, over, or under. It is through!
"I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST" – Christ is the central force through whom all righteous things can be accomplished.
"I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS" – It is Christ, who, as our Savior, Redeemer, Mediator, High Priest, and King, provides insurmountable strength to those who love Him.
"I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME" – Last but not least, the reader is not only encouraged by the strength that Christ provides, but by the strength He provides on an individual basis.

In fact, the main reason why mobile technology is not controlling the way in which most companies do business is the fact that many databases do not operate, communicate, with mobile devices.
However, consumer demand may make it necessary for businesses to respond and create this type of technology. Many banks as well as credit card companies have simplified using their cards/branches by offering mobile applications, which also provides a means of advertising for these companies as well.
Simplifying the world is what consumers want, and with so many people on the go, mobile apps, as well as usage will only multiply; causing businesses to change with the times.

Neuburger masters bedroom looks
April 28, 2003-- Home Textiles Today,
Karen Neuburger is working on multiplication.
A year after moving her bedding license to Hollander Home Fashions, the sleepwear designer has expanded into more straight-on master bedroom looks, expanded the number of beds in the line and is looking to broaden placements at retail as well.
"People are seeing the evolution and the ability to bring in multiple beds now," Neuburger told HTT. "And they're having faith in the flow."
Known for print-grounded and woven Californian cottage casual or Southern casual designs, the Neuburger line under Hollander branched into crashed velvets, piqué cloths, jacquards and suedes.
"It's for the first time what I feel is really, really master bedroom," Neuburger said. "But it's still on the casual side and still taking its inspiration directly from the sleepwear line."
Neuburger also said she is pulling more home into her in-store party events, which raise money for charity. And, she sees more retail interest in cross-merchandising some home items — such as the Karen Neuburger breast cancer awareness pillow — around her sleepwear displays.
Among the new master-directed introductions during spring market was Tea Garden, an opulent tonal silky jacquard ensemble with sprays of stylized flowers and a whiff of Asian influence. A crashed velvet miter surrounds the top of bed and embellishes accent pillows.
Pavilion is a linen comforter ensemble featuring embroidered tossed blooms, with lavender and rosewood blossoms strewn across an open field. The bed is also offered as a duvet on a shimmery stain cloth.
Tender Blooms features camel and black textural weaves on a merlot ground in a modern, minimalist motif offset by a cabernet textured suede miter. The reverse features a stria texture, while the bed skirt employs delicate rosewood and lavender mist bouquets on a warm toast ground.

Meds, Mind, Body & Benefits > Insurance, Benefits Programs & HIV
Relocation, Health Insurance, Assistance, etc
(1/2) > >>
Having recently moved from NC, my home state of 39 years, across the country to Southern California, I thought I'd share my experiences with and what I've learned about ADAP, Ryan White, COBRA, and related assistances. I know this will likely not apply to many other states, but I wanted to point it out as to options that are often available. In fact, I've met people here who didn't enroll in COBRA when they lost their jobs and went on ADAP / Ryan White simply because they didn't know about the insurance premium assistance program. I only knew to look into it from other posts I've read on the forums from members living in other progressive states.In NC, I was a state employee for 12 years and had great insurance - a PPO with BC/BS that is accepted almost everywhere in the US. It was also free to me initially, though it did cost me $20 per month the last couple years. Hubby and I have wanted to relocate for some time for a variety of reasons. One of the main reasons I was hesitant was my concern of not having my insurance and being HIV+. I know many states have waiting lists for ADAP / Ryan White and unrealistic (very low) income limits that are very unrealistic. In a nutshell, that fear kept me from seriously considering a relocation; I was trapped in my job in an area that I had become unhappy with. Yes, I was thankful that I had housing, a decent job, great benefits, security, etc. Still, we needed a change. An opportunity that was too good to pass up, along with a few other things, made the relocation possible. Still there's that pesky issue of meds and HIV care. As part of my research into this move, I found out that California, along with a few other progressive states, will pay my insurance costs in lieu of ADAP through Ryan White. This assistance also applies to my COBRA premiums for both health insurance and dental insurance. The premium for both of my insurance policies is a bit over $600 per month; this would be difficult... especially at first when I'd have no income for a couple months. The information about the insurance assistance program and the required forms were very easy to find. Even better, when it was time to complete them, they had been drastically simplified. Soon after arriving here, I went to the local AIDS services foundation with all the needed information, forms, etc. I also had to go to the county clinic and apply for Ryan White. Pending approval, the foundation covered my COBRA payments out of their budget. I was also offered assistance for housing and food, both of which I didn't need. There was a bit of running around to one facility or the other, but I was always offered transportation if I needed it (I didn't). The entire process was fairly smooth and quick, and there was never the option that I wouldn't have meds, any needed treatment, or labs; they simply wouldn't even consider that an option. I ended up with the option to use a doctor of my choice (I chose a highly rated gay HIV specialist), the pharmacy of my choice, and it still saved the program funds over covering my labs, office visits, and meds. I do have to re-update / qualify twice a year, but that's also very easy to do. Here are my impressions of what I experienced in dealing with relocating and obtaining health overage:1) the system in CA is flexible; I could get decent treatment and meds directly through the ADAP / Ryan White, or I can continue with or obtain private insurance which would also be covered2) the system and programs are very easy to navigate; people were helpful, though often overworked, and I never received incorrect information3) the individuals I dealt with seem to sincerely care about me and my wellbeing4) there are an abundance of programs offering assistance including housing, food, meds, office visits, counseling, etc5) there are no waiting lists, unrealistic qualification requirements, or 'cost-containment strategies' that reduce assistance; people simply aren't allowed to do without meds or care as in many other states6) the programs and system seems to be very progressive and designed to accomplish their mission effectively and humanelyThe contrast of what I experienced in CA as a newly-relocated HIV+ gay man compared to what friends and acquaintances have experienced in other (mostly southern states) is amazing. This was not the scary scenario I'd initially imagined at all. To the contrary, it was as pleasant and comfortable as I could ever hope that such an experience would be.
Wow that's so awesome to hear about a positive experience dealing with "the system."
Hi David. I've moved your thread into the Insurance forum as it is a better fit and where people go when looking for this kind of info.I'm really happy for you that your move went so smoothly regarding access to health care. It's a pity it isn't like that throughout the country.Hugs,Ann
Miss Philicia:
Yes, this is basically what I experienced both going from working to not working (but not yet approved for disability as it was pending and/or then approved but there a couple of years wait for Medicare to kick in) in New York state, but also the smooth(-ish) transition from there to Pennsylvania a few years later (basically I moved because the cost of living is less here but still with a lot of medical services).One tip I would add for those relocating is before actually moving try and meet with a case manager at an ASO in your proposed relocation destination. While they won't set you up with anything until you actually move and prove residence, it's useful to have a conversation that will put your mind at ease because as David states several times, it is very stressful to move when you have HIV because there are so many variables and "what if's" running through your mind, along with the simple normal general stresses of moving.As far as the COBRA issue and states picking that tab up instead of putting someone on Ryan White -- really it makes sense. Is a $600 monthly premium cheaper for the state than Ryan White, if you consider the worst case scenario like a patient such as me where my monthly tab just for medication (i.e. not even including lab work and doctor visits) is easily $4000/month retail. This is a case of (not to pick on them) southern states not thinking -- they might claim to be fiscally conservative but they actually are not.
I've often thought of where we would relocate when it comes to downsizing. California (Palm Springs) always seemed to be a viable option. It's good to hear that the dreaded transition wasn't dreadful after all.
