London, Oct 26: England today (October 26) announced an unchanged 16-man Test squad for India tour with paceman James Anderson not included as he recovers from a shoulder injury.
Full schedule of Ind-Eng series; I could break Tendulkar record: Cook
The squad, captained by Alastair Cook, will play 5 Tests against India, starting in Rajkot on November 9. For the first time at home, India have agreed to use the Umpire Decision Review System (DRS) on a "trial basis". (Series will be of high quality: Kohli)
The same set of English players are currently playing in Bangladesh in a 2-Test series. They won the first Test by 22 runs. The 2nd Tests starts in Dhaka on Friday (October 28).
"James Anderson has been omitted while he recovers from a shoulder injury although it is hoped he will still play some part in the series," the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said in a statement on Wednesday (October 26).
The 34-year-old Anderson is the highest Test wicket-taker for England with 473 scalps.
India-England Test series ends on December 20 in Chennai. The players will return home for Christmas and be back in India in January to play 3 One Day Internationals and an equal number of Twenty20 Internationals.
The ODI rubber starts in Pune on January 15, 2017 while the T20Is begin in Kanpur on January 26.

Sam Tabar is a living legend in the financial circles. Everywhere you ask, be it on Wall St. or on Main St. the sentiments remain the same; everyone agrees that Sam has gone above and beyond to become one of America's most sought-out-after hedge fund manager. Tabar is an attorney first then a capitalist.
New York's Finest Law Firms
Sam Tabar is a proud recipient of a Bachelor's undergraduate degree in Jurisprudence. He graduated in 2000 and in the same year enrolled for his Master's program at Columbia University.
As a student, he is said to have been actively involved in several extra-curricular activities like journalism, ballroom dancing, and even rowing.
Career Strides
The first law firm Tabar interned for was the Skadden, Arps, Slate, and Meagher & Flom LLP & Affiliates LLC in New York. For the next six years, Sam would serve as the legal counsel for the clients of the firm.
He oversaw many successful M&A's and contract deals in his tenure there. Sam was later promoted to go head up the Asian division of the Sparkx Group / PMA. Learn more about Sam Tabar: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sam_Tabar_Picture.jpg
Sam Tabar's prime responsibilities included developing a global investment strategy plan. That job gifted Sam with the rare opportunity to learn about the intricacies and the fundamentals of the Asian markets. He stayed with the Sparx Group for four years.
On February 2011, Sam got called up to head the Strategy division of Merrill Lynch. His duties included arranging Capital Introductions and pitching to angel investors in a bid to raise capital, asides the day to day running of the firm.
FullCycleFund Is Born
In Dec 2014, Mr. Tabar founded his own personal financial consultancy firm called FullCycleFund. The company is situated in the Greater New York Area.
The company's services are a rich combination of all the experience the legendary investor, Sam has amassed in his long, illustrious career. Services offered here include compliance, legal affairs, investment planning and capital raising endeavors.
Social Media Connect
Sam makes it his personal agenda to stay in touch with all his fans and followers online. He is not one of those hotshot millionaire CEO like Martin Shkreli, who are fond of using platforms like Twitter to show off their massive wealth.
Sam's Instagram contains adorable pictures of him having great times with his family. Follow him on Twitter if you wish to receive updates about his business perspectives.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name is derived from when the Hildesley family lived in the village of Hildersley, a tithing in Gloucester.
Hildesley Early Origins
Gloucestershire, where evidence suggests they held a family seat before the Norman Conquest.
Hildesley Spelling Variations
Hildesley Spelling Variations
It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Hildesley are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Hildesley include: Hildersly, Hildest, Hilders, Hilder, Hildesley, Hilderly, Hilderley and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Hildesley or a variant listed above: John Hillsley, who sailed to Philadelphia in 1870.

Well, if the "bloating" you're referring to is fat, then you have to tweak your diet. That is the key. Yes, do ab work,but a better "clean" diet is essential....
...If it's not fat, then hell I dunno. Hopefully someone else knows!
Hey All, Great Site. This is my first time here and I have a question for everyone. Ok, I have been lifting for close to a year now. I recently, about 2 weeks ago, went off creatine because it was making me bloated and I want to cut up a little. My problem is I just cant figure out how to get rid of the bloating in my ab area. Does anyone have any advice on how to get rid of this? Thanks for your help!!

Welcome to the Board!
It's a kind of gut distention that seems to take a while to go away.......trust me...
Just "Suck it up!"
drink more six pack of beer it will give you six pack of abs.
get up in the morning before mom and daddy or girlfriend get up from bed. EMPTY all the junk food in the refregerator and trash them and write a note "CLEAN UP to start a new lifestyle" then you will see your abs.
This happend to me......After I got off the creatine, I had to really drink allot of water for a month to help flush the system.
Thanks for all the replies guys. I think its just the creatine that is still in my system
De rien.
sorry, I'm learning French! Gotta practice!
It made me feel that way right off the bat!!
What Did?
Oh, Okay.
I work chest back bi's tri's shoulders legs 3 times per week with 15 sets 10-12 reps per group. Chest back and legs one day,,, shoulders tri and bi's the next. Monday- saturday off sunday how does this sound?? Thanks
What does this have to do with this topic? Anyway, sounds fine to me.
Are you on or did you just come off antibiotics or NSAIDS? These things can often lead to a distended lower abdomen. A distended lower abdomen is usually caused by some sort of interference with the good digestive bacteria in your intestine. Alcohol has an effect as well, but I wouldn't know anything about that.
Man on a mission!
JSP77,, what do you mean what does my question have to do with the topic. Are you offended by what i typed? DO you hate what i typed? Is my statement or question offensive to you... If not then F***ck off homes!

So I asked this in FDDC as well and just wanted to know what you ladies thought too.... How soon do you think is to soon to start listening to Christmas Music??? I started today and NOw...IM ADDICTED lol
Year round. :P (seriously)
Last year I turned it on really early - it must have been in November sometime - so by the time Christmas came I was totally burnt out on it. I will definitely wait until at least December this year.
I think it burns me out because there are so many people who sing the exact same thing... THats why I like their contemporary songs where they write their own...I dont get tired of those
I don't listen to Christmas music. Very rarely unless we are at someones house and its playing.
I should have started at the beginning of Summer :lol: but I procrastinate! We start shopping in the middle of November. :smile:
I havent even started shopping yet lol
After Thanksgiving!

In reply to: Re: Squirrels in my closet?? posted by John Fasoldt on 6:47:26 10/6/2012 from 184.108.40.206:
Thanks for responding! I'm going to man up and take care of this over the coming weekend. I did a little research on baby squirrels and I think I understood August and September are baby months. And the closet has been really quiet over the last few days. So I'm hoping they're gone and no harm done, and I'm really hoping it's squirrels and not rats or even possums or raccoons. We're in the South so I guess it could be anything! Thanks again.

The 90-year-old Thunder Bay District Jail has been compared to a "garbage dump" by the city's mayor and far worse by the president of the provincial corrections union, which is why Ontario's Correctional Services Minister toured its decrepit halls this week as part of a renewed effort to fix the crisis-ridden penal system he oversees.
Yasir Naqvi completed a vital first phase of that "transformation" campaign last Saturday, when correctional workers, members of the Ontario Public Service Employees' Union, signed a new three-year collective agreement, barely averting a strike.
But now comes the hard part: modernizing a corrections system plagued by lockdowns, understaffing, overcrowding and violence. Mr. Naqvi has a plan, but suggestions for further improvement abound.
"Management of the Ontario Ministry of Corrections has been poor for years," said Frank Porporino, an international corrections consultant based in Ottawa, echoing the province's corrections union, inmates and criminal lawyers. "You can't have good management unless you have political will to really, really improve things."
Suddenly, the province appears to have just that. With the contract signed, Mr. Naqvi told The Globe and Mail about plans for reforming Ontario's prison system, starting with something that the union has been advocating for years. "We know we have an understaffing problem," he said. "We are working on that by hiring corrections, probation and parole officers. That work is important."
That is putting it mildly. There were more than 900 lockdowns in provincial correctional facilities last year because of staffing shortages, according to the union. That figure is zero in some other provinces.
"Those lockdown numbers will continue to rise until they put on more staff," said Monte Vieselmeyer, chair of the OPSEU corrections unit. Within hours of the signing of the new collective agreement, the province announced that 144 correctional recruits had entered basic training. Mr. Vieselmeyer says 800 are needed immediately.
Mr. Naqvi's second short-term goal is to improve mental-health care. At present, many inmates with mental-health needs are warehoused in segregation cells, to be dealt with by overworked staff. Mr. Naqvi said the ministry is hiring more nurses and launching mental-health training for correctional officers.
Those pressing objectives are twinned with longer-term ambitions. Mr. Naqvi wants to shrink the ballooning number of pretrial inmates in the system, which currently make up 60 per cent of all provincial inmates, up from 30 per cent a decade ago.
Many are not violent and simply lack a family member or friend willing to put up cash for bail. Others have been scooped up by Criminal Code changes made by the federal Conservatives over the past 10 years, something that Mr. Naqvi hopes to tackle with a new government in Ottawa.
"We don't deal with capacity issues by building more jails, but by reducing the demand for jails," he said.
Mr. Naqvi also wants to institute a rigorous case-management approach for inmates from the day they enter an institution so that decisions on probation, parole, programming and health care can be made as soon as possible.
While the minister's changes amount to an overhaul in Ontario, they might seem slight compared with the situation in other jurisdictions. Some provinces have experimented with passing the authority for prison health services from the corrections ministry to the ministry of health, as practised in Britain.
Scotland recently eliminated prison terms of under three months. Research found that short sentences were ineffective, with 60 per cent of offenders imprisoned for under three months reconvicted within a year. The Scottish government is now looking at extending the ban to 12 months.
"Why do we in Ontario lock people up for such short terms? It makes no sense," said Mr. Porporino, the consultant.
Experts say the Ontario system could use a statement of purpose and heavier investment in data and research, which is sorely lacking when compared with the system in B.C., where detailed inmate and admission figures are published regularly on a website.
In Ontario, public requests for simple inmate data are routinely denied because the province's antiquated record-management system is not easily searched without a laborious record-by-record hunt.
"Looking at the Ontario website, you don't see any evidence of a research unit in Ontario," said Glen Brown, a sessional criminology lecturer at Simon Fraser University and a former federal prison warden. "There needs to be engagement with community so that what goes on in prisons is not mysterious."
There is another more extreme path. A little more than two decades ago, there was an aborted attempt to unify the federal and provincial corrections systems. "Why not try that again," Mr. Porporino said. "Why even have a provincial corrections system? We need a fundamental rethink of the correctional system not just in Ontario, but the whole country."

Hi everyone! So after about a week of being on the road and living out of a suitcase, I'm finally home and settling in as best as I can... Finally. It's been a long, tiring trip, but so worth it to be able to stop and see so many family members along the way.
We snapped these photos while visiting with Mr. AIF's family and friends in Vancouver... His mom took us to the incredibly beautiful VanDusen Gardens, a 55 acre slice of botanical heaven. I sorta feel like I've got a mad hatter vibe going on here, like I'm about to run off to a delightful little garden tea party or something... Are you getting that at all or is it just me? Hmmm...
Anyway, I bought this dress a little while ago at Forever 21, but wasn't feeling the floral print that day, so I tried to "toughen it up" by pairing it with black accessories... much better. Do you think this dress was in one of the bags that day? I still have to figure out the prize for the person who guesses correctly the most this month, but I'm thinking some kind of jewelry... alright ;)
Outfit details: dress- Forever 21; faux leather jacket- Sirens; fringe bag- H&M; flats- Halston; hat- Forever 21; necklace- House of Harlow

Google has launched its music streaming service "Play Music All Access" to the UK, which provides unlimited access to music from independent labels and all major record companies.
Play Music All Access, which was first announced in May when Google held its I/O conference, focuses on music discovery. When users click on single tracks, the service will suggest entire playlists based on the preferences of other users who have made the same selection.
Paul Joyce, product manager for Google Play Music, said, as reported by The Telegraph: "All Access lets you create an ad-free, interactive radio station from any song or artist you love.
"You can add, remove or re-order your station and see what's coming next. Or you can browse recommendations from our expert music team and explore songs by genre."
Adding: "The 'Listen Now' tab puts artists and radio stations we think you'll like front and centre so you can start listening the minute you open your library."
Google's newest service is available to UK users for free for the first month and £7.99 thereafter. Users who sign up after September 15th will get a 30-day free trial and will pay £9.99 thereafter.

Whenever you add a new Kindle title, KDP sends you to a screen where you enter your book details. Under "Contributors," list your pseudonym as the author. Done.
Make sure, of course, to have your pseudonym also on the cover! (I'm sure you already knew that).
I'd also suggest creating another e-mail address for your pseudonym (i. e. firstname.lastname@example.com) so Kindle readers can correspond directly with your pseudonym. This will come in handy when you have several pseudonyms (like me) and want to keep your e-mails straight.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.

Mifune: The Last Samurai, a new film by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Steven Okazaki, explores the accidental movie career of Toshiro Mifune, one of the true giants of world cinema. Mifune made 16 remarkable films with director Akira Kurosawa during the Golden Age of Japanese Cinema, including Rashomon, Seven Samurai and Yojimbo. Together they thrilled audiences and influenced filmmaking around the world, providing direct inspiration for not only The Magnificent Seven and Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood's breakthrough, A Fistful of Dollars, but also George Lucas' Star Wars.
Mifune – wry, charismatic and deadly – re-invented the modern movie hero. "A lot of people try to imitate Mifune," says Steven Spielberg, "especially when they're playing strong and silent, but nobody can. He was unique in all the world."

ARIGATO Award to Four Remarkable Contributors to the Film Industry
October 22, 2016 by J!-ENT · Leave a Comment
Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF) today announced that it has selected four recipients for its 2nd ARIGATŌ (Thank You) Award, honoring remarkable contributions to the Japanese film industry. Through this award, TIFF expects these four stalwarts of Japanese film to continue their successful careers and to make further contributions to the industry, as well as to increase their international recognition. We have called the award "Arigato" because the word is recognized globally.
Makoto SHINKAI
He appeared like a comet in the anime film industry, and his latest film, your name., became the biggest hit of this year, as well as a social phenomenon.
Born in 1973, Shinkai's theatrical film debut, Voices of a Distant Star (02), for which he did nearly everything himself, sent shock waves through the anime community with its unique vision of the world. He then increased his staff to put out the critically acclaimed The Place Promised in Our Early Days (04) and 5 Centimeters Per Second (07), before scoring a smash hit with The Garden of Words (13).
Mitsuki TAKAHATA
Charming audiences with her outstanding talent as an actress, her success in the future will bring bright hope to cinema.
Mitsuki Takahata was born in Osaka in 1991. At the age of 13, she debuted in the starring role of theater production "Playback Part 2: Okujo no Tenshi" (05). She went on to star in the stage musical "Peter Pan" for six years (07-12). In 2013, she earned accolades for her role as the stepsister of the heroine on NHK's drama series "Gochisosan." She starred in this year's romantic megahit, Evergreen Love (16), and appeared in both Rage (16) and Japanese Girls Never Die (16), which was selected for the 29th TIFF Competition section. She is currently starring in the NHK series "Toto Nee-Chan: Fatherly Sister," playing Tsuneko Kohashi. She will soon be seen in the play "My Name is Shingo" (December,
16) and "Elektra" (April, 17), and will be voicing the main character in the anime film Napping Princess: The Story of the Unknown Me (March, 17).
Satoshi TSUMABUKI
Honoring his acting achievements in a wide variety of films, he plays an indispensable role representing the film industry.
Satoshi Tsumabuki was born in Fukuoka in 1980. He made his film debut in Waterboys (01), for which he earned both a Best Actor and Newcomer of the Year Award at the 25th Japan Academy Prizes. He has continued to receive awards for his work, including a Kinema Junpo Best Actor Award for Josee, the Tiger and the Fish (03), and a Japan Academy Prize for Best Actor and a Blue Ribbon Award for Best Actor for for Villain (10/directed by Sang-il Lee). He starred in NHK's Taiga Drama "Tenchijin" in 2009. Other film highlights include My Back Page (11), Tokyo Family (13), The Little House (13), The Vancouver Asahi (14), The Assassin (15), What a Wonderful Family! (16), The Magnificent Nine (16) and Rage (16). He will be seen in Museum (16), Okuda Tamio ni Naritai Boy and Deau Otoko Subete Kuruwaseru Girl (17) and Traces of Sin (17), among others.
One of the world's best-known characters for over 60 years, this Japan-born phenomenon will continue his ascent both locally and internationally.
An iconic character that first appeared in Godzilla (released November 3, 1954), it continued to star in a total of 29 Toho produced films, garnering an audience of over 100 million in Japan. After 12 years of dormancy since the last Toho production, it returned in Shin Godzilla (released on July 29, 2016) bringing more than 5 million audience members s to the theatre, to record the largest number of admissions in the Heisei series. While the size, expression and powers may differ according to film, it remains the most indestructible monster. Known as "King of the Monsters" internationally, its recent Hollywood reboot has multiple sequels being planned. The franchise has been recognized by the Guinness World Records as the longest continuously running film series in the world and its name had been engraved in Hollywood Walk of Fame, the first and only character from Japan.

Spike Lee's RED HOOK SUMMER Trailer Now Available
June 29, 2012 by J!-ENT · Leave a Comment
The official trailer for Spike Lee's latest film RED HOOK SUMMER is now available . RED HOOK SUMMER will debut in New York on August 10, and will expand to the top 30 markets throughout August.
The latest in Spike Lee's Chronicles of Brooklyn (which also include SHE'S GOTTA HAVE IT, DO THE RIGHT THING, CROOKLYN, CLOCKERS, and HE GOT GAME), RED HOOK SUMMER tells the story of Flik Royale, a sullen young boy from middle-class Atlanta who has come to spend the summer with his deeply religious grandfather, Bishop Enoch Rouse, in the housing projects of Red Hook. Having never met before, things quickly get off on the wrong foot as Bishop Enoch relentlessly attempts to convert Flik into a follower of Jesus Christ. Between his grandfather's constant preaching and the culture shock of inner-city life, Flik's summer appears to be a total disaster–until he meets Chazz Morningstar, a pretty girl his age, who shows Flik the brighter side of Brooklyn. Through her love and the love of his grandfather, Flik begins to realize that the world is a lot bigger, and perhaps a lot better, than he'd ever imagined.

Honoring Iconic Hollywood Legend with Debut of MARILYN IN MANHATTAN, July 31st
June 19, 2012 by J!-ENT · Leave a Comment
Premieres On Demand July 31ST
Trailer Available Now On YouTube
NEW YORK CITY (June 18, 2012) – At the height of her fame with Hollywood wrapped around her fingertips, Marilyn Monroe ditched the west coast for the cultural capital of the world: New York City. Within the streets of Manhattan, the Hollywood icon found her inner strength and engaged in the city's elite world of the arts, founded her own production company, and took her career into her own hands. Featuring never before heard personal stories with friends, archival footage, home movies, and exclusive photographs, Marilyn In Manhattan will make its digital debut on July 31st. The biopic will be distributed to virtually every major digital platform through the company's newly amped division, Virgil Digital. The announcement was made today by Joe Amodei, president of Virgil Films & Entertainment.
Viewers are given an illuminating look at the starlet's brief stint in NY through personal reminiscences of friends, including Oscar® winning actress Ellen Burstyn, actor Ben Gazzara, Amy Greene, Susan Strasberg, agent Jay Kanter, NY publicist, John Springer, and presenting archival footage with Joe DiMaggio, Arthur Miller, Lee Strasberg, and Milton Greene. Marilyn in Manhattan reveals the untold story of a secret landing in New York that would soon serve purpose as the icon took pivotal steps that changed her life forever.
Virgil Digital proudly pays tribute to the life of a pop culture legend with the digital debut of Marilyn in Manhattan beginning July 31, 2012 to be available on digital platforms across the country to coincide with the August 6th anniversary.
The year was 1954 and Marilyn was distraught from her failed marriage to Joe Dimaggio and unsettled with her snubbed earnings for dumb blonde movie roles. With the help of celebrity photographer and friend Milton Greene, the blonde sensation walked away from her lackluster contract with 20th Century Fox and announced the newly formed Marilyn Monroe Productions helmed by Greene. Through MMP, she nabbed two breakaway roles in the acclaimed films, Bus Stop and The Prince and The Showgirl.
Throughout the big apple, the buxom bombshell walked among the crowds, drifted through the village, listened to jazz in Harlem, and even spent time in Fire Island with only a pair of sunglasses and a scarf. While focusing on her intellectual side, she cultivated her acting skills by enrolling in the famed Actor's Studio and studied theater from the master, Lee Strasberg. These moments and more are shared on screen, along with her famous courtship with acclaimed playwright, Arthur Miller, whom she wed in White Plains, NY.
With the city's help, Monroe paved her own road to substantial roles, bolder films, and challenging characters. Marilyn in Manhattan presents a charming side of the iconic beauty boasting newfound courage and a level of serious undertaking that would be forever influenced by the city of New York. Although she eventually went back to Hollywood, we are presented with Monroe's rare moments of solidarity, anonymity, control, and confidence – much like a New Yorker.
The trailer for Marilyn in Manhattan is available on the Virgil Films Youtube channel at: http://youtu.be/vRFrVFJnqgE
MARILYN IN MANHATTAN – synopsis
An exclusive look at Marilyn Monroe just before her tragic end. Set in New York City in the 50's – It's a surprising documentary that captures the movie legend as she runs with Broadway pals from the Actors Studio. Ben Gazzara and Susan Strasberg tell of their nights studying with her while she tried to shake the Hollywood "dumb blonde" image. Home movies give us rare footage into her marriage to Arthur Miller.

Kino Lorber Acquires All US Rights to Meet The Fokkens at Cannes Film Festival
May 21, 2012 by J!-ENT · Leave a Comment
New York, NY – May 21, 2012 – Kino Lorber is proud to announce the acquisition of all US rights to Meet The Fokkens (Ouwehoeren – 2011), an acclaimed and humorous documentary about 69-year-old twins Louise and Martine Fokkens – and their experience working as prostitutes in the world-famous red-light district in Amsterdam, for over 40 years. The film had its world premiere at IDFA in Amsterdam, and is set to begin its US festival run at the upcoming SilverDocs Film Festival in mid-June.
Directed by Gabrielle Provaas & Rob Schröder (Bonanza), Meet The Fokkens is slated for a theatrical premiere at New York's Film Forum on Wednesday, August 8, 2012. The film will expand to major markets in September and October 2012.
For over fifty years, Louise and Martine Fokkens worked as prostitutes in Amsterdam's red-light district. After a rough start, the sisters freed themselves from the control of their pimps, ran their own brothel, and set up the first informal trade union for prostitutes. They are familiar faces in Amsterdam's Red Light District … But soon, they will bid their farewells to their profession.
Representing the old-fashioned side of Dutch prostitution that has now become almost extinct, Meet The Fokkens depicts two sisters who are proud of the lives they lead. With courage and an unapologetic attitude, the sisters share many tales of how they entered into this line of work, how they eventually went into business for themselves, and how relationships in the world of prostitution have changed over the years.
Kino Lorber's Vice President Elizabeth Sheldon, who negotiated the deal with Peter Jager, CEO of Autlook Films, commented: "When I saw Louise and Martine on the big screen, I was charmed by their stories, their wry humor and their spirit."
"Meet the Fokkens," continues Sheldon, "is an important addition to our collection of films that openly explore sexuality and never more uniquely than with this witty tribute to twin pioneers of the oldest profession."
About Kino Lorber:
With a library of 700 titles, Kino Lorber Inc. has been a leader in independent distribution for over 30 years, releasing over 20 films per year theatrically under its Kino Lorber, Kino Classics, Redemption Films, Horizon Movies and Alive Mind Cinema banners.

Brandon Routh Lacrosse Picture Sells to Strategic Film Partners at Cannes
May 19, 2012 by J!-ENT · Leave a Comment
Crooked Arrows Will Be Released in the U.S. on May 18Th
Prior to the 2012 World Championship Lacrosse Tournament
LOS ANGELES, CA MAY 18, 2012 –Strategic Film Partners has acquired international sales rights to the feature film Crooked Arrows starring Brandon Routh (Superman Returns). The film, which depicts the story of an underdog American lacrosse team, was directed by Steve Rash (The Buddy Holly Story, Bring It On 3 & 4) and opens in limited engagements in the U.S. on May 18th, expanding with a wider national and Canadian release on June 1st. The timing of the release is significant as global interest in the sport is at an all time high due to the upcoming 2012 World Championships of the Federation of International Lacrosse in July in Finland.
Crooked Arrowsis the first mainstream lacrosse movie. It pays homage to the fast growing sport's history by featuring a Native American high school team as the heroic underdogs, who rediscover their spirit when paired with a reluctant coach (Routh). Routh plays the mixed blood son of the nation's chairman who has returned to his reservation to expand the community's fledgling casino, but his traditionalist father and the tribal council insist that he must first re-examine his spirit before he can undertake his enterprise. Together with his skeptical team, he leads them on an unlikely journey to the New York prep league championship game.
In addition to Routh, the movie stars Gil Birmingham (Twilight), Crystal Allen, Chelsea Ricketts, Dennis Ambriz, and Tom Kemp. The lacrosse players are actual lacrosse players from around the country. The Native high school team was cast by Sports Studio's Mark Ellis (Invincible, Miracle, Game Plan) in a visit to Syracuse last spring with all of the team's players originating from the Six Nations Confederacy in upstate New York, with most being Onondaga, Tuscarora, or Mohawk.
The movie, which was shot in Massachusetts last August, has attracted substantial attention from the international lacrosse world, which is booming in several markets under the Federation of International Lacrosse. Leagues and teams from the UK, Spain, France, Germany Netherlands, Turkey, Israel, Russia, Japan and Australia have all made multiple inquiries about the film's international plans.
"This is a fun family-oriented movie that should play very well overseas," said Strategic Film Partners' CEO Alex Barder. "It's much more than a typical sports picture, with several positive messages about finding one's family and spirit and a father and son reconnecting. I think people will laugh and cry and be thrilled by the action, whether they know lacrosse or not."
From its first stages of development, the picture organically attracted widespread support in the both the lacrosse and Native American worlds. Sponsors include Reebok, US Lacrosse, and the Onondaga Nation, which also made a substantial investment in the $10M movie. The film has also gained endorsements from Inside Lacrosse Magazine, Major League Lacrosse, National Lacrosse League, and dozens of the sport's top players, including Paul Rabil.
Producers J. Todd Harris (Bottle Shock, The Kids Are All Right) and Mitchell Peck (Priest) led the charge to put the production and P&A financing together, along with former All-American Jeff McCormick, a Boston-based venture capitalist who led his 1983 Syracuse lacrosse team to the NCAA championship. Over fifty investors, most of them lacrosse enthusiasts, participated in the film's financing.
Branded Pictures Entertainment is releasing the film in conjunction with Freestyle Releasing and Pandemic Marketing. May 18th will see a release on 55 screens in 17 cities and June 1st should see an expansion to over 400 screens in over 75 cities.

'Queen Freak' and 'When Angels Sing 'are the first two titles on inaugural slate
Los Angeles, CA – (May 14, 2012) Gary R. Benz (President & CEO) of long established TV company GRB Entertainment announced today the official launch of the company's international feature film division which will be selling rights to two films at this year's Marche du Film. GRB's expansion into feature theatrical films began last year when Benz set up the feature division and brought Todd Olsson on board. The company has been looking for high quality commercially viable features that are a cut above the usual fare.
"We've been working hard to find the right films to get off to a great start, and both of these films are extraordinary," said Benz.
The company will bring QUEEN FREAK, which stars Matthew Modine, Kristin Chenoweth, Joey King, Shirley Jones, and a relatively new-comer in the lead, Olesya Rulin. It's a wickedly sharp tale about a dysfunctional family, where the kids take matters into their own hands to "re-educate" their eccentric and distant parents (Modine and Chenoweth), in an attempt to form an actual family, very much in 'Wes Anderson-style.' The film was directed by Benjamin Epps and produced by Adam Saunders and Chris Aronoff, through their Footprint Features banner, in association with The Bedford Falls Company.
WHEN ANGELS SING is a unique Christmas film, produced by the iconic producer of the SPY KIDS franchise, Elizabeth Avellán, and producer Shannon McIntosh. They bring an ensemble cast led by Harry Connick Jr. and Connie Britton and including Chandler Canterbury, Fionnula Flanagan, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, and Lyle Lovett. Tim McCanlies directs from a script based on the Turk Pipkin novel of the same name. The film is about Michael (Connick) who got the 'Christmas kicked out of him' and now avoids it in every way possible. But when a mysterious man 'Nick' sells him a very special house, he soon finds out he now lives exactly in the heart of Christmas central.
Todd Olsson, VP Feature Films, and Joey Sabella, Director of International for GRB will be selling both films at Cannes.
Said Olsson, "We have two really phenomenal films coming out of the gate. Both will have their World Premiere in Cannes. It's a nice bonus they're screening at the first market we're presenting them. It gives buyers a great opportunity to really know what the film is, and how strong it plays."
Both films will screen several times during the market and are currently available for all international territories. Domestic distributors have been circling the films, and will have a chance to see the titles for the first time in Cannes.
About GRB Entertainment:
Since Gary R. Benz founded the company over 26 years ago, GRB has distributed more than 2500 hours of television content, including programs aired during primetime in over 190 countries. GRB's international team is recognized as one of the premiere distributors of quality programming, with timely servicing and unmatched professionalism.
As an industry trendsetter in the unscripted alternative programming arena, GRB is expanding the success of the company with the launch of GRB's theatrical feature film division. This new division will be dedicated to the acquisition, production, and co-production of films for international distribution. The launch is part of a far-ranging effort by the company to expand the reach of its renowned business, bringing a slate of high-caliber feature films to markets and audiences around the world. GRB's strategy to create partnerships with producers with proven track records, will bring 8-10 high quality theatrical films to market each year.

Kim Kardashian: "Butt Pad" Claim False
Kim Kardashian says she was not caught wearing a "butt pad," despite claims that surfaced after she was photographed earlier this week. Gossip Cop can help correct the stories.
On Wednesday, paparazzi snapped pictures of Kardashian as she left Dave & Busters after her sister Khloe's birthday party. In one of the shots, which was taken from behind the reality star, there is an indentation in the butt area of her skirt that gave some the impression that Kardashian had padded her booty. HollywoodLife, for instance, wrote in a headline, "Kim Kardashian: Does She Wear Butt Pads? — See The Awkward Pics."
"There's no denying that Kim Kardashian has a curvaceous backside, but she may be getting a little more plumping help than we thought," said the accompanying story. "The 35-year-old reality star may just be guilty of using butt pads to help give her the famous derriere we're all so familiar with — at least that's what seemed to be inside her skirt on June 27! Talk about an awkward wardrobe malfunction!"
It's actually more awkward that HollywoodLies fell for the rumors hook, line and sinker. Just because people are speculating about something doesn't make it true. And in this case, the "butt pad" claims appear to be not.
Kardashian herself set the record straight on KimKardashianWest.com on Friday, in a post appropriately titled, "#FACTS: My Alleged Butt Pads." The reality star acknowledged, "Another day, another crazy rumor! Apparently, I was caught wearing butt pads."
She went on to write, "Here's what really happened: A couple years ago, I wore a skirt in Miami that was totally sheer. I had no idea it was SO see-through on my butt. I definitely never want that to happen again, so now I always wear shapewear."
"Sometimes, they have a sheer cutout like these capris from Body Wrap, so that's actually what you're seeing in the picture," Kardashian explained, implying that the open design of the undergarment caused the indentation where her butt met the fabric cutout. "So, the fact is: I don't wear butt pads!"
She also amusingly added, "At this point, I think everyone has seen my butt naked and knows I don't need them, LOL!" Ain't that the truth.

Colin Cowherd is the master of hot takes and especially bad ones at that. This is a man who thinks that USC is the second-best team in the country behind Alabama and somehow thinks two Big Ten teams still deserve to be in the Playoff.
RELATED: Colin Cowherd just dropped the worst Playoff Top 4 that we've ever seen
With a win over Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship Game this weekend, Clemson will undoubtedly find itself in the College Football Playoff foursome, but Cowherd is convinced that the Tigers are "frauds."
"Clemson's a fraud. Clemson is going to get their ears boxed by whoever they play. They should have three losses, maybe four. I don't buy into Clemson. They're the New York Giants of college football. I don't care what their record is. I don't buy into them. And I had Clemson in the final four, so I should be rooting for them. I got no dog in the fight here. I think USC is the second-best team in the country and Vegas agrees."
RELATED: Colin Cowherd doubles down on the worst college football take of the season
You may think they should have three or four losses, but they don't and you don't pick the Playoff based off what you thought should have happened. Cowherd clearly doesn't understand that and decides to make up the rules like this "Who's Line is it Anyway?"
Anyways, here's the video:
Clemson proved it wasn't a fraud last year by manhandling Oklahoma in the semifinal and then almost upsetting Alabama in the Championship Game. They'll have the chance to do that again this year with a win next weekend.
