I'll mention this tidbit again before the week is out, but a lot of things debuting currently at the Tribeca Film Festival are also just hitting theaters this weekend as well. One such movie is Elvis & Nixon, which I've seen and enjoyed for the most part. I don't especially think it's an awards player, but as speculative entertainment and a festival entry, it certainly does the trick, and that's nothing to sneeze at. Mostly, it's an effectively comedic star vehicle for Michael Shannon and Kevin Spacey, as well as a mild satire. It won't blow you away, but it likely will make you giggle a fair amount.
The film is a look at what led up to the most requested photograph in the National Archives, which is an image of President Richard Nixon (Spacey) shaking hands with Elvis Presley (Shannon) in the Oval Office. Blending fact and fiction, we follow along as Elvis decides he needs an audience with Nixon in order to become deputized as a federal agent. He heads from Nashville, first to Los Angeles to recruit friend/associate/pseudo manager Jerry Schilling (Alex Pettyfer), and then to Washington DC to attempt to crash the White House. Initially, Nixon refuses, but staff members Egil Krogh (Colin Hanks) and Dwight Chapin (Evan Peters) eventually talk him into it. The rest, essentially, is history. Liza Johnson directs a screenplay from Joey Sagal, Hanala Sagal, and Cary Elwes (yes, the actor). Supporting players here include Johnny Knoxville, Sky Ferreira, Tracy Letts, Tate Donovan, and Ashley Benson, among others.
What makes Elvis & Nixon work is how light yet enjoyable a tone it takes with a concept that should probably come off as too ridiculous to work, even if it's true. Shannon and Spacey are clearly having fun, and it rubs off on the audience. When not focused on either one of them, the film lags, but when they're on the screen, and especially in their climatic meeting, sparks do tend to fly. The movie is far from perfect, but it's so odd that it just plain winds up working. It's a lighthearted satire that leaves you with a smile on your face, and that's something.
It was interesting for me to compare Spacey's real life interpretation of a President here to his fictional one on Netflix's House of Cards. Whereas in the latter project he's almost Shakespearian in his darkness, here he basically puts forward […]

'Elvis & Nixon' speculates on a very odd moment in history
I'll mention this tidbit again before the week is out, but a lot of things debuting currently at the Tribeca Film Festival are also just hitting theaters this weekend as well. One such movie is Elvis & Nixon, which I've seen and enjoyed for the most part. I don't especially think it's an awards player, but as speculative entertainment and a festival entry, it certainly does the trick, and that's nothing to sneeze at.

Colin Hanks feeling good about going bad on "Dexter"
HollywoodNews.com: Colin Hanks couldn't have asked for a more dramatic change of pace from his "The Good Guys" comedy than what he's got with his current assignment — he plays a hair-raisingly creepy religious fanatic who has a weird relationship with fellow zealot Edward James Olmos in the new season of "Dexter," which premieres Oct. 2.
"I can't give much away. Now it's official that I'm the bad guy, so that's good. That's really about the extent of what I can say. We're still shooting, and I'm afraid if I blab now there's still time for them to write something really horrible for me to do," he jokes.
Promos of the sixth season of the Michael C. Hall series suggest the Bible-quoting pair are doing very bad things in the name of the almighty — a violently forced "repentance," for instance. The season also has Dexter exploring spiritual matters himself, thanks to his encounters with an ex-con named Brother Sam, played by Mos Def.
"I have no idea if it will be controversial or not," says Hanks.
He does know the show couldn't have come along at a better time for him –now that he and wife Samantha have baby daughter Olivia at home.

Fox's New Cop Show "The Good Guys:" Colin Hanks Brings the Funny
By FredTopel
hollywoodnews.com: Colin Hanks, son of mega movie star Tom Hanks, comes to television this summer in the Fox series The Good Guys. In the buddy cop comedy, Hanks plays the young cop paired up with a reckless older veteran (Bradley Whitford). Perhaps it is a recurring tradition in the Hanks family. Tom got his start in a very different buddy series, the cross-dressing sitcom Bosom Buddies. Colin said there's no connection.
"No, because I'm not wearing a dress," Hanks said. "I'm carrying a gun so there really wasn't TV advice."
What The Good Guys does offer Hanks is the chance to be funny. Films like Orange County and The House Bunny have Hanks reacting to other people being funny. "So much of the stuff I end up reading for or people want me for is the sort of sane guy surrounded by a bunch of crazy people. This was not necessarily that dynamic. This was much more of a two hander between two guys who are both equally flawed for very different reasons. More importantly, Jack was a guy that spoke back. He talked back to people. It wasn't just him reacting all the time to 'Why are you so crazy? Why can't you be normal?' Jack actually has an attitude towards Dan sometimes. He lets Dan know when he's not happy. I liked being able to read a character that actually stood up for himself."
Jack has some relationship problems that are a source of some of The Good Guys's laughs too. That's acting, because Hanks is happily married in real life. "Jack is not nearly as emotionally and relationship balanced as I am. There's a lot of comedy gold out there to be found as far as Jack's inability to maintain a relationship and his will he/won't he relationship with Jenny Wade's character, Liz. I don't think me being married will affect Jack too much but it'll definitely make me feel a whole lot better about making a fool out of myself at work, knowing I have a wife at home who cares about me knowing how big of a fool I make of myself."
The Good Guys must be a hard show to do, with stunts like Jack jumping from a moving car. Even considering the parts that stunt men do, the actors are still working in high speed situations, and being funny.
"We're laughing a lot throughout the course of […]
Heidi Klum, Tori Spelling and Colin Hanks make marriage headlines
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: The proverbial aisle was awfully crowded on Saturday as multiple Hollywood celebrities either got married or renewed their vows.
Colin Hanks, son of Tom Hanks and the late Samantha Lewes, married publicist Samantha Bryant Saturday in Los Angeles. The couple met through mutual friends.
Earlier in the day, Tori Spelling tweeted, "Beautiful day to remarry ;)" and followed up on the promise by renewing her vows with husband Dean McDermott. People reports that Spelling received "a custom designed Darkened Diamond Eternity Band by Neil Lane."
Not ones to be outdone, Heidi Klum and Seal renewed their vows Saturday in front of their children, part of a larger celebration of the couple's fifth wedding anniversary. The ceremony was held in Costa Careyes, Mexico.

Hulk Hogan Gets Mega-Fired Over Racist Rant
Hulk Hogan is perhaps the most famous professional wrestler in history (though the Rock is working on that). Over the last three decades, he led the WWF to dominance, nearly destroyed it by signing with rival promotion WCW, came to an uneasy detente while working for not-even-close-to-rival promotion TNA, and finally made a triumphant return to the since-renamed WWE, culminating in hosting duties at last year's WrestleMania XXX. He was even claiming that he was training for one final match, perhaps at next year's WrestleMania 32 in AT&T Stadium in Texas. But then the National Enquirer got hold of a transcript of a sex tape wherein Hogan uses the N-word three or four times while discussing his daughter's sex life. [more inside]
The Real George Orwell
The Radio 4 on the BBC is presenting a month of readings from George Orwell's books. Some of them will only be available for one week from the date of broadcast, so be quick. [more inside]
Ken Mehlman's "Memory Hole"
A PORTION OF THIS TRANSCRIPT HAS BEEN REMOVED Not only did CNN edit out a portion of the Larry King Live show from last night for the west coast and later showings, they also edited their transcripts and have sent DMCA takedown notices for the copies on youtube. What was so controversial? Just Bill Maher claiming that Ken Mehlman is gay, something Mehlman neither confirms nor denies.
The coffins that George Bush doesn't want you to see. The Memory Hole filed a Freedom of Information Act request for photographs of American servicemen and women who died in Iraq. After an initial refusal, the request was granted. Over a hundred US troops have been killed in action in the last month alone.

The Memory Hole
The Memory Hole " Last month the Office of Management and Budget got sloppy: it issued a press release stating flatly that tax cuts were responsible for only 15 percent of the 10-year deterioration. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities noticed, and I reported it here. Now for the fun part. The O.M.B. reacted angrily, and published a letter in The Times attacking me. It attributed the misstatement to "error," and declared that it had been "retracted." Was it? It depends on what you mean by the word "retract." As far as anyone knows, O.M.B. didn't issue a revised statement conceding that it had misinformed reporters and giving the right numbers. It simply threw the embarrassing document down the memory hole."
I'd like to propose a new word, "rovian."

Outdoor Kitchen - Cast Iron Cookware and Grills
Gourmet camping is in the bag when you pack along camping kitchen essentials from Williams-Sonoma. Our portable grills are as easy to pack as our made-in-U.S.A. tents so you can rough it with culinary style without overloading the SUV. Lodge cast-iron camp ovens and tripods let you cook stews, braise meats and bake bread over an open flame with complete control over how close your meal gets to the heat. Durable camping griddles, frying pans and fajita pans are tough enough for the campfire but work great on the portable grill too. Primitive campers will appreciate our antler fire starter on cold nights and kids will love their telescoping skewers for expert marshmallow roasting competitions. Outdoor drinkware lets you raise an elegant toast without risking breakage at your campsite.
There's no better kitchen for a nature lover than a roaring campfire and our camp chair lets you sit comfortably while you roast popcorn on our outdoor popper or turn our smoker bags over to finish cooking the delicious meals inside. An outdoor pen thermometer is a great safety tool to check meat temps before dining. Chicken, jalapeno and fish roasters are all available for grill and campfire use along with a variety of outdoor cookware designed for use on camping trips and during backyard cookouts.

The Luxury Visionaries 2016
For my money, Jason Atherton is the chef of the decade. In this year alone, he has already impressed with two equally accomplished propositions – Typing Room in Bethnal Green's Town Hall Hotel and City Social in Tower 42, which is the only high-rise London restaurant with food quality elevated enough to match its setting. A Dubai project is due to open imminently in the Intercontinental. What's more, this flurry of activity follows hard on the 2013 launches of Little Social, Berners Tavern and Social Eating House, as well as an ever-growing collection of outposts in Singapore, Shanghai and Hong Kong.
The last time we saw empire-building from a British chef on such an ambitious and international scale was Gordon Ramsay in the Noughties – which is when Atherton worked for him, first as executive chef of Verre in Dubai and then at Maze in Grosvenor Square. Atherton went solo in 2010 and Pollen Street Social was his thrilling statement of intent of the energy and invention to come.
While fellow Ramsay lieutenants Marcus Wareing and Angela Hartnett echoed their master's voice with starchy fine dining, Atherton transformed an old Pitcher & Piano pub into a determinedly contemporary two-room set-up, the sort of place where you could start off with a cocktail or two before moving next door to eat.
When Michelin-starred chefs attempt informality, it runs the risk of looking embarrassingly like the most cringeworthy kind of down-with-the-kids posturing, especially if, like Atherton, you were the first Brit to complete a stage at elBulli. But anyone who has pressed their nose against Pollen Street's floor-to-ceiling windows will have witnessed within a convivial scene of full-throttle fun that they wish they were part of. It really does feel social, humming with the buzz of fine dining offered without the formality.
Amuse bouches are called "snacks" and arrive on a two-tiered wooden stand. Chilled pea soup with citrus crème fraiche, peas and gambas looks beautiful, the soup as frothy and green as a matcha latte, an emerald scoop of pea sorbet resting in the middle, garlanded with a scattering of flowers and adorned with a single, sweet-fleshed prawn. It tastes intensely and purely of pea, as fresh as the early morning air in a summertime garden.
Sea scallop carpaccio with kohlrabi, pomelo, yuzu jam, black olive and samphire follows a similarly clean-tasting tack. What sounds like a lot to digest on the menu is a very simple assembly displaying the clarity of Japanese cuisine, with individual ingredients brought together to create a union of equal flavours and emphasis.
Full English breakfast is a Babushka doll of a dish. The top half of a white porcelain egg is removed to reveal a real eggshell filled with what looks like a just-set boiled egg – but is in fact slow-cooked egg sitting on top of tomato purée, bacon and mushrooms. Playfully presented and intensely savoury, it's the sort of cleverly complex chef joke that could so easily irritate if it didn't taste as good as it does.
In contrast, turbot roasted with capers and brown butter, samphire, almonds, white strawberries and caper gnocchi is classical through and through, the fish the star of the show, the other ingredients there to support it. Ditto the roasted rack of lamb with sweetbreads, braised lettuce, morels, mustard seed and an individual shepherd's pie.
Puddings can be taken at a dessert bar – a feature that's on the cusp of becoming all the rage in London, but you saw it here first. Personally I'd rather eat my afters at the same table as the rest of my meal – and that's ok too, for this is a restaurant that doesn't force any dread notion of concept or decorum on its patrons. For somewhere so modern, Pollen Street Social has a very old-fashioned belief that the customer is always right.
That focus on the customer is especially welcome on the wine list, where the house white (£39) – a streamlined Chenin Blanc stunner produced exclusively for Atherton's restaurants – is enthusiastically pushed by group head sommelier Laure Patry. Like many members of key staff, she has been with Atherton since the Maze days. And, like them, she provides the Social security that Atherton's expansion is in the hands of a team committed to maintaining the standards that Pollen Street set so high.
Who to take: someone who believes restaurants should be fun
What to order: the full English breakfast is an ever-evolving signature dish

Trying GroupHigh for Blogger Outreach Campaigns
I am hereby making the jump from humans to robots for all my blogger research. In And what was I comparing all of these social CRMs, influencer-identification services, and blogger databases to? I was comparing them to the cost of hiring a team of people to do all of the work by hand. What My Clients Have Taught Me about Blogger Outreach (business2community.com). Tricky.
The state of earned media blogger outreach
I've been doing earned media blogger outreach as a profession since 2006 and a lot has changed. To be frank, there are a lot of bloggers with their hands out looking for pay to play these days that it can feel a little daunting. The secret to my success has been to be a lot more selective in the clients I'm willing to work with. unless." Yeah, infographics!
The bloggers are the victims of bad blogger outreach
I just wrote an article , Blogger outreach is earned media PR, isn't it? wherein I suggested that some bloggers are kinda jerks because they lead any blogger outreach with "here's my advertising packet." Bloggers, in fact, are the victims and we digital and PR agencies are the perps. If you're in your mid- to late-30s — or even 40s, gah!
Blogger outreach is more PR than social media
Back in 2006 I developed a strategy of blogger outreach that allowed my to reach out to more than just 25 top-tier bloggers by hand over time but to 2,500-5,000 bloggers. While I agree that the top-25-50 bloggers do deserve deep, long-term, and personal engagement, spending that sort of time, over time, on "everyone else" would take all the time in the universe.
How NOT to pitch a blogger
Last week, I talked about how blogger outreach is scary , and I talked about why this fear exists for most people before they start talking to bloggers. In great measure, these fears exist because of the horror stories that have resulted from wrong-headed approaches. Bloggers will always call you out if they sense you're just calling it in. Tweet This Post.
How PR and Social Media Can Work Together
But many organizations in both groups still treat the functions as separate silos—or worse, mix them awkwardly, damaging both efforts. The social media release is used for blogger outreach. When a blogger publishes a guest post from the company, that post gets linked in the company's LinkedIn groups, Facebook page, Twitter and social bookmarking sites. Since many (most?)

Trello is a really simple collaboration platform you can use to brainstorm and organize your blog post and project ideas.
How the Long Tail AdWords Approach Works for Blogger Outreach
Last week, I explained how to succeed with B-list bloggers, but maybe some of you aren't convinced. So, this week, I want to draw an analogy to successful Google AdWords approaches so that you can see how to apply that same technique to blogger outreach. When it comes to reaching out to bloggers online, there's a lot you can learn from Google AdWords. Long-tail blogger outreach is like long-tail Google AdWords advertising. The same should be done with blogger outreach. These lessons map perfectly to blogger outreach. Image via CrunchBase.

Why Bloggers Abandon Their Blogs Too Early [Video]
This phenomenon must be frustrating, if not demoralizing, for corporate bloggers who need to prove they are driving results, and prove it quickly. As you can see in the video, it's easy to see why bloggers who rely on daily traffic as their sole performance indicator would abandon their blogs quickly. Occasionally, one stumbles upon a stop-you-in-your-tracks statistic. Literally.
Death to Blogger Whores!
Manhattan Marketing Maven
After reading a number of case studies describing how brands have used social influencers to drive commercial success, I get the feeling that bloggers are like Congressmen; they can be easily bought and paid for. And while FTC rules demand full disclosure, it seems that the journalistic ethics of early bloggers has succumbed to the easy baksheesh offered by brands, and their PR or social marketing firms, eager to marshal what appears to be consumer endorsements or momentum. As a long-term independent blogger, there's something skeevy in this.

How Marketers Can Use Evernote to Organize and Simplify Their Lives
But nothing ever seems to quite fit every project or situation. I, too, have gone through my fair share of tools to organize my work, but the tool I find myself continuing to go back to is the free app, Evernote. or at least more organized. personally use Evernote for both work and personal notes -- on my PC for work, my Mac at home, and my iPhone on the go.

Night on the Town in New York City
Enjoy an amazing night out in New York City on this evening tour. Dine in the Flatiron District, sip champagne while viewing the Statue of Liberty at…
New YorkSee all 432 tickets & tours
Want to discover all there is to do in Little Italy, New York? Click here for a full list.
Though it was raining we had much fun and a very Nice dinner in little italy! We recommend this Tour at the beginning of New York Stays!
Guide was friendly and informative. Little Italy restaurant was good. Water taxi was brill and we were so lucky to see the Statue of Liberty with the sunset behind.
The voucher indicated that the tour would start at 5:30PM and participants requested to show up 15 minutes earlier. However, the tour didn't start until 6:00PM and it looked like it was planned that way. We found it unfortunate to have to wait for approx. 45 minutes for the tour to start. Overall, it was a great tour. Our tour-guide, Steve, did an excellent job. He was very enthusiastic and knew a great deal about this fantastic city. The boat ride to the Statue of Liberty was also very informative. The dinner at the restaurant was ok, but nothing spectacular. If not for this tour, we would never have visited the Top of the Rock observatory and it was quite amazing. Between the two observatory, Top of the Rock and Empire State Building, we preferred the first one.

Yale University Press, 1990 - Political Science - 251 pages
Confrontations between the powerless and the powerful are laden with deception - the powerless feign deference and the powerful subtly assert their mastery. Peasants, serfs, untouchables, slaves, labourers, and prisoners are not free to speak their minds in the presence of power. These subordinate groups instead create a secret discourse that represents a critique of power spoken behind the backs of the dominant. At the same time, the powerful also develop a private dialogue about practices and goals of their rule that cannot be openly avowed. In this book, the author, a social scientist, offers a discussion both of the public roles played by the powerful and powerless and the mocking, vengeful tone they display off stage - what he terms their public and hidden transcripts. Using examples from the literature, history, and politics of cultures around the world, the author examines the many guises this interaction has taken throughout history and the tensions and contradictions it reflects.

Jimbok... you already know that the advice you've had is wise. They're spot on.
Make sure you have a rest week now and again, with significantly reduced mileage. Give your body time to adapt.
Cant disagree with the advice from above, however I properly started running last August and within 8months I am up to running high 40's/50 miles per week as training for the marathon I did last week.
For your autumn marathon this sounds like the right amount of mileage to do, peaking around 50. Then after your marathon up the mileage to 60 if you want Best of luck

Three N.Y. cops shot during call
The Associated Press
NEW YORK- Three police officers were accidentally shot yesterday as one or more officers took aim at a pit bull attacking a member of their crew, police said. All were in stable condition.
The men had been responding to a dispute between a landlord and tenant when the animal ran from another floor and attacked one officer, police said. The dog was killed by the gunfire.
The four were admitted to Lincoln Medical Center hospital following the shooting.

Life is good for incoming NBA rookies, but there's definitely a whole lot to learn and new experiences coming our way. For most of us, fine dining used to mean a trip to our college cafeteria, so things are different these days. From managing this newfound money to hearing about the unfamiliar situations and challenges that we may face, one thing is for sure: there's a lot more that goes into becoming a successful NBA player than just how you compete on the court.
