Victory Theatre Renovation Assessed by Owners, Holyoke Mayor
The long-delayed renovation of the Vaudeville-era Victory Theatre in Holyoke, is likely to be delayed further.
The Massachusetts International Festival of the Arts (MIFA) bought the Victory from the city in 2009 for just $1,500. It planned to complete renovations by December 2012. But MIFA has struggled to secure the $28 million it estimates is needed to begin renovations, according to artistic director, Donald Sanders.
"We're at about $20 million if everything comes in as expected," says Sanders.
Most of those funds are in state tax credits, and just $100,000 in a state grant secured last November. Holyoke included a reverter clause when it sold the Victory, meaning the city could take back the theater if no significant progress was made. Mayor Alex Morse says the two previous mayors extended the reverter for eighteen months each, but it expires in June. Morse says he supports the project and MIFA, but wants to see that it could be worthy of city and state investments before making a decision on the reverter.
"This project doesn't have the legs to happen on its own unless MIFA or someone in the private sector has $30 million to pour into it," Morse says. "But at this point, given that MIFA is relying only on money from a state grant, I'm not convinced that they have the financial capacity to execute the project."
The city council voted for an extension last month, though Morse says that has no bearing on his decision. Sanders says a delay of this kind for a major arts initiative is not uncommon.
"All these kinds of projects, very few, including people's kitchens or porches or whatever, come in on time."
Sanders says he thinks MIFA could secure funding, complete renovations, and open the theatre in three years.

A menacing tornado churned behind Mike Eilts as the storm chaser's truck sped away.
It seemed like the perfect escape, until Eilts realized he was barreling toward a dead end.
The team from the National Severe Storms Laboratory had two choices: one bad, and the other worse.
"The decision was either to get out of the car and jump in the farmer's yard," he says, "or to try and beat it."
Driving toward the tornado was the only way out.
The truck shook as the edge of the tornado pushed it, Eilts recalls. But he floored it and somehow made it to safety.
That was more than two decades ago. But even now, the sight of the dirt swirling and the sound of screams that day are memories that remain fresh in Eilts' mind.
It was a close call -- the kind of thing Eilts says you don't forget.
The deaths of three storm chasers in Oklahoma have sparked a surge of questions about people who drive toward tornadoes when others run away.
Who chases storms? Why do they do it? And what makes it worth the risk?
Visiting the 'tornado zoo'
Some say storm chasing provides valuable scientific information that helps increase warning times for people in harm's way. Some argue it's a dangerous hobby for thousands of inexperienced onlookers searching for a thrill. But others stress that there are safe ways to chase tornadoes, a kind of tourism that one company compares to a cruise vacation.
Eilts, who once worked as a government researcher and now is the president and CEO of Oklahoma-based Weather Decision Technologies, says he's seen both sides.
It used to be that the only people going toward tornadoes were trained scientists, he says.
Now, when he's observing storms, a different sort of sight makes Eilts turn around and head home.
Not the ominous funnel clouds.
These days, Eilts says what he fears are car after car, parallel parked on highway shoulders, with droves of people stretching their arms into the air, trying to capture the "money shot."
"I call it 'tornado zoo.' They think they can just drive up like it's a lion on the other side of the cage," he says. "They take a picture or video of it, not thinking that the whole thing can expand in literally seconds, a new suction spot can come out, and you have no time to react to that kind of thing."
Martin Lisius, who's been chasing storms since 1987, calls them the "children of 'Twister.'"
The 1996 film, he says, spawned a generation of storm chasers who search for thrills with no idea of the risks.
"They're acting like they're in a movie," he says.
Some of them seem to be motivated by fame or fortune, he says, or maybe even the hope that their video can land on television.
For years CNN and other national television news networks have purchased tornado videos shot by freelance storm chasers. Traditionally the fees are in the hundreds of dollars, but could be more than $1,000 for editorially important images.
Eilts says he worries that one of these days, a storm will strike while thousands of people are stuck in traffic jams caused by storm gawkers. Already, he says, professionals have a harder time collecting data, and emergency responders struggle to reach areas that are in danger.
"I think it causes a lot of problems for scientists that are trying to do their jobs, for scientists that are trying to get sensors in the right place," he says. "Now they're worried about, 'How do you stay out of the parking lot of storm chasers and stay safe?'"

Having a child is probably the most significant event of a woman's life. It can be a wonderful experience, but it can also be the hardest job a woman will ever have. The transition may be over-whelming with so much to learn, changes to get used to and a million things to prepare.
So 'Real Savvy Moms' wants to ease the learning curve for pregnant women and new moms by offering support, education and information that you can use to make better decisions. Getting the right pre and postnatal advice is critical to having a healthy pregnancy and that can make all the difference!
"Real Savvy Moms is a national initiative designed just for you," said Inder Singh. "It helps new and expectant mothers find solutions to all their pregnancy and baby care needs." For instance, we can recommend what to do following Atlanta gynecology and obstetrics exams. Need health insurance for your new little bundle of joy? We can recommend resources and businesses to get you covered. Need to know who has the best whole life insurance rates? We can point new mothers in the right direction. We encourage women to stay healthy and feel good about themselves throughout their pregnancy and the early stages of motherhood!
Moms today are better educated, more career-oriented, and more likely to question what they are told than the previous generation mothers. They want reliable information – like that found at SEO Online Services. Independent focus group studies indicate that new moms want to hear the advice of trusted healthcare providers with reassurances from sisters, friends and other Real-Moms- Moms who've been there.

Peter Jackson Movies
Originally a master of gross-out splatter films, New Zealand director
Peter Jackson
is the man behind some of the goriest footage ever captured on celluloid. He is also one of the few horror directors to have earned widespread mainstream critical respect, thanks to his direction of the ambitious
Lord of the Rings
trilogy, and the acclaimed
Heavenly Creatures
(1995), a terrifying, exuberant account of a real-life murder that scandalized 1950s New Zealand society.
Born in Wellington on October 31, 1961,
was raised in Pukerua Bay, a small town just west of Wellington. An only child, he grew up nurturing a vivid imagination, something that was aided immeasurably when his parents received an 8 mm camera on Christmas Day, 1969.
duly got his hands on the camera, and, with the complicity of a few school friends, he soon began making his own movies. He continued making movies after getting a job with a local newspaper, the salary of which allowed him to buy his own 16 mm camera.
In 1983, the fledgling director filmed a ten-minute short called Roast of the Day, which was eventually expanded into his feature-length debut,
Bad Taste
(1987). Made over the course of four years with a minimal budget and the collaboration of a group of willing friends, the film -- which eventually secured some degree of funding from a sympathetic member of the New Zealand Film Commission -- was a delightfully repulsive romp that truly lived up to its title. An alien horror comedy that offered up almost unprecedented servings of blood, gore, dismembered anatomy, and a degree of cannibalism not seen since the Donner Party's last family outing,
Bad Taste
became, surprisingly enough, an instant cult classic.
's next endeavor, 1989's
Meet the Feebles
, encountered roughly the same fate as his directorial debut. Best described as "
The Muppet Show
on crack," the film was the steadfastly disgusting, bodily fluid-soaked tale of a group of puppets who perform on a television variety show called "The Fabulous Feebles Variety Hour." Featuring all sorts of graphic debauchery and twisted violence,
Meet the Feebles
was undeniably a love-it-or-hate-it experience, and it went on to develop a devoted cult following. It didn't actually gain a theatrical release in the United States until 1995; in the meantime,
continued on his trajectory of tastelessness with
Dead Alive
(1992). Dubbed as "the goriest fright film of all time" by the New York Daily News, the film easily outdid all of
's previous efforts in terms of the sheer volume of blood and the number of severed limbs, and it summarily earned a place in the hearts of gore aficionados everywhere.
With his gore credibility then established beyond the shadow of a doubt,
next went in a completely different direction, writing (with longtime collaborator and companion
Frances Walsh
) and directing
Heavenly Creatures
(1994). Based upon the real-life case of Juliet Hulme (played by
Kate Winslet
) and Pauline Parker (played by
Melanie Lynskey
), schoolgirl friends who murdered Pauline's mother, the film employed many of
's signature flourishes, such as frenetic camerawork and dark, violent humor. Unlike the director's previous work, however, it was surprisingly humane, managing to make the two girls real, sympathetic characters without condemning or apologizing for their actions.
Heavenly Creatures
won a number of international honors, including the Venice Film Festival's Silver Lion and a Best Original Screenplay Oscar nomination for
. The film also launched the career of
Kate Winslet
, who in a few years time would become known as one of the leading actresses of her generation.
followed up
Heavenly Creatures
with a return to his native territory of the horror comedy. Unfortunately,
The Frighteners
(1996), which starred
Michael J. Fox
as an investigator of the supernatural, was as big a disappointment as
Heavenly Creatures
had been a success. Aside from writing and directing the acclaimed
Forgotten Silver
(1996), a pseudo-documentary about a fictitious historically neglected Kiwi filmmaker and inventor, Colin McKenzie,
kept mum for a couple of years. His silence was broken in August of 1998, when he announced that his next project would be an adaptation of
J.R.R. Tolkein
's beloved
Lord of the Rings
series. The first installment of the series -- which was to be filmed as a trilogy -- began shooting in May of 1999, and featured
Elijah Wood
Liv Tyler
Ian Holm
Cate Blanchett
, and
Ian McKellen
as part of its large and talented cast. An enormous success that pleased fans and critics alike, the sprawling first installment of the trilogy,
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
, was nominated for 13 Oscars, winning for Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects, Best Makeup, and Best Score. The second installment,
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
, was an even greater box-office success, and was nominated for six more Oscars, winning for Best Sound Editing and Best Visual Effects.
The final installment of the
Lord of the Rings
trilogy was relesed in 2003, striking box-office gold and gaining critical acclaim just as its predecessors had. But the best was yet to come for the trilogy's finale. In early 2004, the film won all 11 Academy Awards that it had been nominated for, tying a record with
for most Oscars won by a single film and sending
home with not only his first statuette, but his first three. Jackson used his now considerably hefty cred to tackle selective projects as the years rolled onward, like a remake of King Kong, an adaptation of the Lovely Bones, and a prequel to Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit.
Jackson would also be an active producer, helping bring to the screen films like District 9, The Adventures of Tintin, and West of Memphis. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

Extraterrestrial fast-food franchisers come to earth to pick up food supplies-in this case, human flesh. After wiping out a few small towns, the aliens must contend with a team of government assassins, headed by Pete O'Herne. As the plot rolls on, O'Herne's crew is decimated in as gory a manner as possible, and innocent bystander Craig Smith ends up being marinated (and a darned good job it is). Turns out that the space folks are running on a timetable; they've got to return to their home planet with their human-hash cargo before a rival franchise puts them out of business. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Meet the Feebles
Bearing the same relationship to The Muppet Show that Fritz the Cat does to Felix the Cat, Meet the Feebles is a gleefully rude, decidedly adult comedy about the backstage goings-on amongst an eccentric group of puppets the day before their televised variety special. Made by director Peter Jackson, creator of Bad Taste and Heavenly Creatures, the film features a wide ensemble of creatures known as "The Feebles," led by a walrus named Bletch, the show's gruff, corrupt producer. Amongst the central figures are Heidi the Hippo, the show's prima donna singer; the fey fox Sebastian, who acts as the show's director; and the lovable (and love-struck) Robert the Hedgehog. Other cast members include a sex-crazed rabbit suffering from VD, a junkie frog prone to Vietnam War flashbacks, and a rat who directs porno movies in the theater's basement. Romantic jealousies, drug deals gone wrong, murders, and other scandalous activities all threaten to wreak havoc amongst the cast, with all these problems reaching their climax on the evening of the big show (which comes complete with musical numbers). The film's extremely dark sense of humor is supported by skillful gross-out effects and a winningly irreverent attitude. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Director Peter Jackson's second feature cheerfully trumps the gross-out quotient of his splatterfest debut, the appropriately named Bad Taste. The tone is cartoonishly comic, and the premise is simple: The village dweeb (Timothy Balme) is trying to maintain a budding romance with the sweet Paquita (Diana Penalver) while concealing the fact that his overbearing mum (Elizabeth Moody, in an amazing good-sport performance) is a flesh-eating zombie. (She owes her condition to a bite from a "Sumatran Rat Monkey" at the local zoo.) Complicating matters even further is Les, a greedy uncle (Ian Watkin), who suspects that his sister has died and is eager to occupy her elegantly furnished Victorian mansion. The climax is a housewarming party Les throws to celebrate his "inheritance;" what he really gets is his comeuppance, thanks to his sister and her similarly afflicted zombie pals, who burst out of their basement prison to turn the guests into appetizers. Our hero finally cuts a wide swath through the zombie party crashers with the help of a rotary blade lawn mower, leaving the house awash in blood and body parts in order to save his romance. ~ Tom Wiener, Rovi

After winning a cult following for several offbeat and darkly witty gore films, New Zealand director Peter Jackson abruptly shifted gears with this stylish, compelling, and ultimately disturbing tale of two teenage girls whose friendship begins to fuel an ultimately fatal obsession. Pauline (Melanie Lynskey) is a student in New Zealand who doesn't much care for her family or her classmates; she's a bit overweight and not especially gracious, but she quickly makes friends with Juliet (Kate Winslet), a pretty girl whose wealthy parents have relocated from England. Pauline and Juliet find they share the same tastes in art, literature, and music (especially the vocal stylings of Mario Lanza), and together they begin to construct an elaborate fantasy world named Borovnia, which exists first in stories and then in models made of clay. The more Pauline and Juliet dream of Borovnia, the more the two find themselves retreating into this fantastical world of art, adventure, and Gothic romance as they slowly drift away from reality. The girls' parents decide that perhaps they're spending too much time together, and try to bring them back into the real world, but this only feeds their continued obsession with Borovnia (and each other) and leads to a desperate and violent bid for freedom. Featuring excellent performances (especially by Kate Winslet) and imaginative production design and special effects, Heavenly Creatures skillfully allows the audience to see Pauline and Juliet both from their own fantastic perspective and how they seem to the rest of the world. Remarkably enough, Heavenly Creatures is based on a true story; in real life, Juliet grew up to become mystery novelist Anne Perry. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Alexandra Milman starred as an English girl named Penelope, who came upon a magic opal containing two Australian genies, dad Bruce and son, Baz (sounds a bit like the American Saturday-morning offering Sigmund and the Sea Monsters). The series' two seasons were produced three years apart, in 1995 and 1998, explaining the cast changes amongst the supporting players. Twenty-six half-hour episodes of Genie From Down Under were produced in all. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Charlatan Frank Bannister (Michael J. Fox) has genuine psychic powers, but he doesn't use them to help people. Rather, he generates cases for his supernatural private-eye firm by harassing a group of hapless ghosts (including a dearly departed Wild West outlaw and an undead judge played by John Astin) into staging hauntings and poltergeists in the homes of likely marks. Bannister's world turns on its head when he starts noticing real hauntings around town -- ghostly assassinations that seem to be tied to the execution 20 years earlier of a brutal serial killer. Lucy Lunskey (Trini Alvarado), the wife of one unlucky victim, teams up with Bannister to get to the bottom of the killings and find out what shut-in Patricia Bradley (Dee Wallace Stone) and her witchy mother (Julia McCarthy) have to do with the sinister spree. ~ Brian J.

Originally presented to an unsuspecting New Zealand public as the real deal, Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson's masterful mocumentary initially proved so convincing that unsuspecting viewers bought it hook, line, and sinker. A remarkably detailed look at the life of early filmmaker Colin McKenzie (Thomas Robins), the film traces the life of the young innovator as he makes incredible advances in the realm of cinema years before they are generally though to have occurred. From McKenzie's creation of the first "talkie" in 1908 (the first true sound feature is generally considered to be 1927's The Jazz Singer) to his creation of the first color film three short years later (which is generally considered to be 1922's The Toll of the Sea), the discovery of the remarkable advances made by him would forever change the face of film history. With Jackson himself providing commentary on the importance of the recent "discovery" of McKenzie's lost epic
-- which was preserved in a garden shed for nearly a century -- the significance of this "lost film" is further cemented by interviews with such notable film figures as Miramax's Harvey Weinstein and film critic Leonard Maltin. As McKenzie's rise and eventual downfall is documented through the use of newspaper articles, still images, and rare behind-the-scenes footage of
, the viewer is drawn into a remarkably staged ruse that is so effectively executed that it even includes interviews with McKenzie's "wife," Hannah (Beatrice Ashton). ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A small town elder journeys to the big city and joins a missionary group led by the gruff Marcus Dalton (Dutcher). Together, they go door-to-door trying to convert people to their faith, Mormonism. Just when he's about to hang up his necktie and starched white shirt, he learns of the hardships that the others have endured -- Marcus has cancer, Banks, an African-American Mormon, was disowned by his family, and others have been harassed by nefarious anti-Mormon intellectuals.

New Zealand filmmaker Peter Jackson fulfills his lifelong dream of transforming author J.R.R. Tolkien's best-selling fantasy epic into a three-part motion picture that begins with this holiday 2001 release. Elijah Wood stars as Frodo Baggins, a Hobbit resident of the medieval "Middle-earth" who discovers that a ring bequeathed to him by beloved relative and benefactor Bilbo (Ian Holm) is in fact the "One Ring," a device that will allow its master to manipulate dark powers and enslave the world. Frodo is charged by the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) to return the ring to Mount Doom, the evil site where it was forged millennia ago and the only place where it can be destroyed. Accompanying Frodo is a fellowship of eight others: his Hobbit friends Sam (Sean Astin), Merry (Dominic Monaghan), and Pippin (Billy Boyd); plus Gandalf; the human warriors Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) and Boromir (Sean Bean); Elf archer Legolas (Orlando Bloom); and Dwarf soldier Gimli (John Rhys-Davies). The band's odyssey to the dreaded land of Mordor, where Mount Doom lies, takes them through the Elfish domain of Rivendell and the forest of Lothlorien, where they receive aid and comfort from the Elf princess Arwen (Liv Tyler), her father, Elrond (Hugo Weaving), and Queen Galadriel (Cate Blanchett). In pursuit of the travelers and their ring are Saruman (Christopher Lee) -- a traitorous wizard and kin, of sorts, to Gandalf -- and the Dark Riders, under the control of the evil, mysterious Sauron (Sala Baker). The Fellowship must also do battle with a troll, flying spies, Orcs, and other deadly obstacles both natural and otherwise as they draw closer to Mordor. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) was filmed in Jackson's native New Zealand, closely followed by its pair of sequels, The Two Towers (2002) and The Return of the King (2003). ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

The second film in Peter Jackson's series of screen adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's internationally popular Lord of The Rings trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers literally begins where The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring ended, with the Fellowship splitting into three groups as they seek to return the Ring to Mordor, the forbidding land where the powerful talisman must be taken to be destroyed. Frodo (Elijah Wood), who carries the Ring, and his fellow Hobbit Sam (Sean Astin) are lost in the hills of Emyn Muil when they encounter Gollum (Andy Serkis), a strange creature who once carried the Ring and was twisted by its power. Gollum volunteers to guide the pair to Mordor; Frodo agrees, but Sam does not trust their new acquaintance. Elsewhere, Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd) are attempting to navigate Fangorn Forrest where they discover a most unusual nemesis -- Treebeard (voice of John Rhys-Davies), a walking and talking tree-shepherd who doesn't much care for Hobbits. Finally, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Gimli (John Rhys-Davies), and Legolas (Orlando Bloom) arrive in Rohan to discover that the evil powers of Saruman (Christopher Lee) have robbed King Theoden (Bernard Hill) of his rule. The King's niece Éowyn (Miranda Otto) believes Aragorn and his men have the strength to defeat Saruman, his henchman Wormtongue (Brad Dourif), and their minions. Éowyn soon becomes infatuated with Aragorn, while he struggles to stay faithful to the pledge of love he made to Arwen (Liv Tyler). Gandalf (Ian McKellen) offers his help and encouragement as the Rohans, under Aragorn's leadership, attempt to face down Saruman's armies, but they soon discover how great the task before them truly is when they learn that his troops consist of 10,000 bloodthirsty creatures specially bred to fight to the death. Most of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers was shot in tandem with The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King during a marathon 18-month shooting schedule, overseen by Peter Jackson. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King brings Peter Jackson's mammoth adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic to a close in suitably epic fashion. Instead of starting just where the previous film left off, however, it goes far back in time to the moment the tormented creature Gollum first came to possess the One Ring. In this flashback, actor Andy Serkis (who voiced Gollum and performed his movements onset prior to the final CGI effects) finally gets to appear onscreen, portraying Gollum's former self, Sméagol. This disturbing scene serves as a potent reminder that the Ring seeks to corrupt even the well-intentioned Frodo (Elijah Wood), who is increasingly struggling with the dark power of the Ring himself. Thus, the film returns to the present, following Frodo, Sam (Sean Astin), and Gollum as they journey ever closer to the foreboding land of Mordor. They pass by the terrifying dark city of Minas Morgul, watching as the dreadful army of the Witch King sets out for the human strongholds in Gondor, and move on to the rocky stairs to Cirith Ungol, where an even darker enemy lies in wait. Meanwhile, the rest of the Fellowship reunites in Rohan, having defeated the wizard Saruman on two different fronts, at Helm's Deep and Isengard. They are not together for long, though, since the hobbit Pippin (Billy Boyd) gets into trouble, making it necessary for him and Gandalf (Ian McKellen) to hastily depart for Minas Tirith, capital of Gondor. Once there, they find the steward of Gondor, Denethor (John Noble), in an unstable mental state and the city preparing for battle against the amassing forces of Sauron. Denethor unwisely sends his only remaining son, Faramir (David Wenham), back into bloody battle to prove himself. He returns nearly dead, sending Denethor over the edge of sanity.
In another realm, elf Arwen (Liv Tyler) begins her journey to immortal life in the Grey Havens, on her way to leave Middle-earth -- and Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) -- forever, but has a vision that causes her to once again reconsider her decision. Back in Rohan, the men are preparing to ride to Gondor's aide. Éowyn (Miranda Otto) desperately wants to join the men in battle, but her uncle, King Théoden (Bernard Hill), orders her to stay and defend Rohan if necessary. The hobbit Merry (Dominic Monaghan) also desires to ride with the men, but is denied due to his small size and inexperience. Aragorn is met there by the elf Elrond (Hugo Weaving), who brings him the re-forged Sword that was Broken (in the ancient battle with Sauron) and urges him to take a different route to Gondor. Heeding Elrond's advice, Aragorn, along with elf Legolas (Orlando Bloom) and dwarf Gimli (John Rhys-Davies), takes a cavernous path through the mountains, where they meet ghoulish ghosts who betrayed Aragorn's ancestors and are doomed to eternal unrest unless they fulfill their broken oaths by aiding him. All but Frodo, Sam, and Gollum will meet on the massive battlefield of the Pelennor before the gates of Minas Tirith. The former three instead engage in a battle of wills between each other and the One Ring as they head toward the fires of Mount Doom to destroy it. Released in December 2003, The Return of the King topped even its massively successful trilogy predecessors at the box office, and went on to garner a whopping 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture -- winning in all the categories in which it was nominated and tying the record of total awards won with Ben-Hur and Titanic. ~ Dana Rowader, Rovi

One of the greatest adventure stories in Hollywood history gets a new interpretation in this action drama from Academy Award-winning director Peter Jackson. In the early 1930s, Carl Denham (Jack Black) is a daring filmmaker and adventurer who has gained a reputation for his pictures documenting wildlife in remote and dangerous jungle lands; despite the objections of his backers, Denham plans to film his next project aboard an ocean vessel en route to Skull Island, an uncharted island he discovered on a rare map. Correctly assuming his cast and crew would be wary of such a journey, Denham has told them they're traveling to Singapore, but before they set sail, his leading lady drops out of the project. Needing a beautiful actress willing to take a risk, Denham finds Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts), a beautiful but down-on-her-luck vaudeville performer, and offers her the role; cautious but eager to work, Darrow takes the role, and onboard the ship she strikes up a romance with Jack Driscoll (Adrien Brody), a respected playwright hired by Denham to write the script for his latest epic.
When Denham and company arrive on Skull Island, the natives react with savage violence, but they happen to be the least of their worries. Skull Island is a sanctuary for prehistoric life, and lording it over the dinosaurs and other giant beasts is Kong, a 25-foot-tall gorilla who can outfight any creature on Earth. The natives kidnap Darrow, giving her to Kong as an offering to appease the giant beast; Denham and his men set out to find her, with Driscoll bravely determined to save the woman he loves. Eventually, Driscoll finds Darrow and Denham outwits Kong, intending to take the giant ape back to New York for display. But Kong has bonded with Darrow, and his attraction to her proves to be his undoing. Andy Serkis, who provided the body movements for Gollum in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings pictures, performed similar duties on King Kong, studying gorillas so he could mimic their actions, which were then used as the basis for the special-effects crew's digital animation of the great ape. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Director Neill Blomkamp teams with producer Peter Jackson for this tale of extraterrestrial refugees stuck in contemporary South Africa. It's been 28 years since the aliens made first contact, but there was never any attack from the skies, nor any profound technological revelation capable of advancing our society. Instead, the aliens were treated as refugees. They were the last of their kind, and in order to accommodate them, the government of South Africa set up a makeshift home in District 9 as politicians and world leaders debated how to handle the situation. As the humans begin to grow wary of the unwelcome intruders, a private company called Multi-National United (MNU) is assigned the task of controlling the aliens. But MNU is less interested in the aliens' welfare than attempting to understand how their weaponry works. Should they manage to make that breakthrough, they will receive tremendous profits to fund their research. Unfortunately, the highly advanced weaponry requires alien DNA in order to be activated. When MNU field operative Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley) is exposed to biotechnology that causes his DNA to mutate, the tensions between the aliens and the humans intensifies. Wikus is the key to unlocking the alien's technology, and he quickly becomes the most wanted man on the planet. Ostracized and isolated, Wikus retreats to District 9 in a desperate bid to shake his dogged pursuers. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) joins Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and a band of dwarves led by the brave Thorin (Richard Armitage) on a treacherous quest to reclaim their mountain home from the fierce dragon Smaug in this epic fantasy adventure adapted from J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved novel by the creative forces behind the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Long before Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) made his arduous journey to Mordor, his brave uncle Bilbo embarked on an adventure for the ages. Bilbo's story gets under way when the great wizard Gandalf appears at his front gate with a most unusual offer. Displaced from their massive fortress in the Lonely Mountain by Smaug - a greedy dragon who coveted their gold - a community of noble dwarves were decimated by a surprise attack by monstrous orcs, whose dreaded leader the Pale Orc slew their king in a gruesome battle. Now, Thorin, the descendent of the king, is determined to reclaim his mountain kingdom for his people. Together with a fearless team of dwarves, Thorin and Gandalf recruit Bilbo to aid them in their quest since Hobbits have the unique ability to go undetected when they wish to. Before Bilbo, Gandalf, and the dwarves can reach The Lonely Mountain and defeat Smaug, however, they'll have to contend with trolls, goblins, stone giants, Gollum (Andy Serkis), and even the dreaded Pale Orc himself.

among the first lines of the html page source.
The second major problem is the UTF8-compatibility with german "Umlaute" (i.e.: ae, oe, ue)
I installed RC2 with the german UTF8 language pack. Database is also UTF8. Nevertheless all umlaut-characters are ignored/displayed wrong

What went wrong?
I have the same problem. HTML output, language file and database all are set to UTF-8, but German Umlaute are not displayed correctly.
Though I must say, that I installed a fresh SMF1.x, imported old data, and then updated to 2.0
When I modify the posts/boards Umlaute are correct. How can I change that? Is there any option?
Any hinds on that? Thanks!
I re-installed everything and all's fine now :-D No clue why, though.

I've bought many items from The Limited over the past four years, but this is my first time reviewing one.
I just got this jacket in the mail today. I tried it on and it fit perfectly (I ordered XL). I'm trying to loose weight, and even at my current size, the jacket still had a perfect cut and shape. I'm certain that even if I lose 10-30 pounds more, it will still look like it was made to fit my figure. That's the proof of the versatility of its leather material.
I tried it on without taking off the thick sweater I was wearing, so the sleeves felt a little tight, but try it on with a long-sleeved shirt made of thinner material, a T-shirt, sleeveless blouse, camisole, or tank top and you'll find the sleeves fit better.
It comes with two extra large round buttons to match the ones on the jacket in case some fall off, which is always a plus. The cleaning is easy: just wipe it with a wet sponge or a wet soapy sponge. There is no laundering or dry cleaning involved, and you can just hang it up or lay it flat to dry.
This jacket is perfect for long walks, or even to wear indoors if the air conditioning is on full-blast in the spring and summer, or the heating is too warm in the winter. It's just right for outdoors wear in the fall and early spring.
You can't go wrong with the jacket, and I plan on wearing it as much as I can over the next few months. Let it the winter season last a little longer!

Love t!
So comfortable and chic! Have received lots of compliments on this jacket. Goes with anything, not too heavy.

Great Look!
I love this jacket and the color. It is a great fit and looks good even with skinny jeans. It is easy to dress up or down.

Corrales dead in motorcycle accident
By Kevin Iole, Yahoo! Sports
May 7, 2007

LAS VEGAS Diego Corrales, a former world champion boxer who scored one of the most memorable knockouts in boxing history, died Monday in a three-vehicle accident near his Las Vegas home.
Corrales was driving a 2007 Suzuki 1000 motorcycle, traveling northbound on Fort Apache Road in the southwest part of the city, when it inexplicably struck the back of a 1997 Honda Accord, Las Vegas police spokesman Sgt. Tracy McDonald said.
McDonald said the motorcycle careened into the southbound lane and, at some point, he was tossed off the bike.
A 2004 Mercedes-Benz traveling in the southbound lane was unable to brake in time. McDonald said the driver, who was not identified, "was unable to avoid striking the motorcycle and possibly the operator of the motorcycle also."
"Diego Corrales lived an 'X Games lifestyle,' " his promoter, Gary Shaw said. "He was a true warrior. He did everything hard and fast. He loved anything to the extreme. He was the kind of guy in the ring you never had to worry about quitting. I don't know how many times he would say, 'They'll have to kill me first.' "
Corrales' wife, Michelle, who is seven months pregnant, was on the scene and identified the body shortly after 11 p.m. PT. The accident occurred at approximately 7:30 p.m. McDonald said there was no outward evidence of drugs or alcohol involved.
He could not say how fast the motorcycle was traveling.
"There is still a lot of evidence to go through," McDonald said.
Corrales, who was 40-5 and held world championships in both the junior lightweight and lightweight divisions, was the victor in one of the most storied bouts in the sport's history.
On May 7, 2005, he and Jose Luis Castillo engaged in a toe-to-toe slugfest for nine rounds at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Twice Castillo knocked down Corrales in the 10th round and appeared on the verge of knocking him out.
But Corrales arose after the second knockout and fought back with a fury, and he wound up stopping Castillo in what would become the 2005 Fight of the Year. It also would be his last victory.
"No one who ever saw that fight will ever forget it," Shaw said. "There weren't that many people in the arena that night, but I know there are hundreds of thousands of people who now say they were there because that was one of those nights. He belongs in the Hall of Fame based on that fight alone."
In a June 2, 2006, story in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Corrales spoke of his love of extreme sports. He told a story of jumping from a plane at 14,000 feet, snowboarding on rocky terrain and scuba diving with a school of sharks.
He said he liked the rush he got from those types of sports.
"I'm only young once, and unless someone hasn't told me something yet, I only get to live once," Corrales told the Review-Journal. "If I couldn't do this stuff now, stuff I always wanted to do, I would never get a chance to do it."
The father of five children, Corrales struggled through the last part of his life. He had financial difficulties and used part of a signing bonus he had received from Golden Boy Promotions to pay back taxes he owed.
However, Golden Boy was seeking the money back because it turned out he was not free to sign with the company and still was under contract to Shaw. As Yahoo! Sports reported last week, Corrales had signed a legal document promising to repay the money.
The knockout win over Castillo turned out to be the last of his career. He was knocked out in the fourth round of the Oct. 8, 2005, rematch with Castillo, a bout marked by a controversy when Castillo failed to make the lightweight division limit of 135 pounds.
Corrales agreed to fight at 147 pounds so as not to disappoint fans who had purchased tickets. But Castillo then failed to make weight for a planned June 3, 2006, rubber match, and that bout was canceled.
Corrales then didn't make weight for an Oct. 7, 2006, bout with Joel Casamayor and wound up losing his title on a split decision. In his last bout, on April 7, he was soundly beaten in a welterweight match by Joshua Clottey.
"He gave every ounce of himself every time he was in there," his manager, James Prince, said. "He was a fearless guy, and I'll always remember how hard he fought no matter what the circumstances."

O.t. Diego Corrales R.I.P.
Posted 08 May 2007 - 11:26 AM
Fifteen years ago after an especially disappointing loss to Miami, Esiason, then the Jets' quarterback, was making the seven-mile drive from the Meadowlands back to Manhattan.
While he was slogging through stop-and-go traffic at the entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel, the car next to him was violently rear-ended. The quarterback threw his car into park, hopped out and ran to the woman whose car had been hit. She was wearing, of all things, an Esiason jersey, and was utterly shocked when he tapped on her window to check on her.
"Are you OK?" he said, trying to keep calm. "Are you OK?"
"Boomer? Is that you?" she asked the Good Samaritan, sounding disoriented. "I think I'm OK, but . ... "
But what?
"But you guys sucked."

We stayed in one of the " family room", but it was far too small to be classed as such. Shower was grubby.

"A very nice break away"
My fiancee and I spent 3 nights at The Newbury, and from the moment we arrived, we were made to feel at home.

The shower was nice and powerful, the TV had plenty of channels, and the tea/coffee making facility was great. Very nice to be able to take 5 steps out […] of bed to stick the kettle on! The location was great - a 2 minute drive from the train station, a 5 minute walk away from the beach, plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Dawn was very helpful if we needed advice on how to get to our destinations, and she also recommended some very nice restaurants specialising in particular quisine. They also have a lot of leaflets and cards in the hall of places of interest. Breakfast was delicious - the fried bread in particular! They also give an option of an 8am or a 9am breakfast slot - perfect for my fiancee who likes a lay in. Brilliant value, very friendly, great location.

"Great wee gem of a hotel in the heart of Blackpool"
My partner and I came here for the weekend. Our room was up in the loft and very cramped compared to what the other rooms appear to be on the photos. This was the only downside though - We thoroughly enjoyed staying here!!!! Dawn and Andy were so welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. Much better than a big chain hotel stay as you had the personal […] touch and family friendly feel. A lot like home from home! The other guests were lovely too - was so nice to see everyone at breakfast in the morning and get chatting to others (again, something else you don't get with a big chain hotel stay!) Breakfasts were fab and every taste catered for. A big hearty full english breakfast with as much toast as you can eat - set us up for the days adventures! After a busy day out,it was nice to come "home" and relax in the room (I think we got back a bit toooo late to have a drink in the bar hahaha!) the showers are great and give your back a good massage! The hotel is a stones throw away from the centre of Blackpool, you won't need a taxi (like we thought we did hahaha!) but far enough away so it's not too noisy. We will be coming back - with the kids next time as its an ideal base. Book now!! Thanks again Dawn and Andy, and we hope that the American Diner venture takes off for you, we are looking forward to visiting it next time we are down (Michael wants his man v food burger!!)

I think practice of putting only one next physical action on the next action list encourages doing them in breadth first order. One from one project then one from another and so on.
It is fine for ping-pong actions where I have for example to send something to someone and wait. But for tasks requiring more sustained effort it feels counterproductive.
I can spend time doing something from many projects but I feel that none of them is going anywhere, and inversely when I allocate few hours of time to one and only one project I really feel the progress.
Do you have similar observations and how do you advise to handle that?

Final Fantasy Type-0: First ten minutes
Square's released a direct feed video containing ten minutes of Final Fantasy Type-0 footage titled the "Opening." The name indicates that the clip features the game's opening moments.
