Everyone's jumping on the "Google dominating the advertising universe" bandwagon. BusinessWeek ran a article today speculating on Google's omnipresent domination with their acquisition of DoubleClick plus some recently announced deals with EchoStar's Dish satellite TV network and Clear Channel's radio network. The primal fear even has its own acronym now, FOG, or "Fear of Google". But in BusinessWeek's article there's one telling quote (emphasis mine):
"To date, Google has had one gargantuan advertising success. It developed an online auction platform enabling businesses, even those with little marketing experience, to easily bid for space to serve tiny text ads related to information Web surfers wanted at a particular moment. Most of these ads—which exist primarily to drive traffic to Web pages and, ultimately, generate sales—run on Google's own search results pages."
And there you have Google's dilemma in a nutshell. The more aggressive they are extending their network reach into new channels, the more they come to rely on what, for them, has been the golden egg, their search engine. The "gargantuan advertising success" has actually been search engine marketing's success. Google has been riding a consumer initiated wave as buyers have found an incredibly effective new channel to do their research on. The success that Google has enjoyed by riding that wave has more to do with the concept of search then it has to do with any particularly brilliant Google strategy. Google has keyed into that success by providing a very effective search tool. And if you're looking anywhere for the secret to Google's success, look no further than their obsession about user experience on their search engine. They've kept it clean, they've kept it relevant, and they've kept it a favorite choice of millions and millions of search users. That has given them the ability to monetize a tremendous amount of traffic and flow that money straight into the corporate coffers, enabling them to go on a shopping spree of unprecedented proportion.
I don't begrudge Google for thinking big and planning to dominate the universe. It's really the only direction they can go. But I would like to hear more people acknowledge the fact that Google success is built completely on the emergence of search as an essential online activity. And the emergence of that activity is due to a lot of pioneers in the area, not just Google. In its present form, search is best represented on Google but the very act of searching owes a huge debt to dozens of other companies, including current also-rans like Yahoo, Lycos, Excite, Overture, and the historic footnotes like Infoseek, AltaVista and All the Web.
Because of that I get a little frustrated when search does not get its proper due. Personally, I believe there is huge untapped potential still in search. But everyone is so focused on Google's extension of its empire that I don't believe search is getting the respect it's due. It's not getting respect from advertisers, it's not getting respect from agencies and lately, it's not even getting respect from Google.
I know that Google has some exciting plans for search, primarily wrapped around personalization and I look forward to hearing more about this. I hope that Google search team remains engaged pursuing the potential of this tremendously effective channel and doesn't become diverted from this goal by the glitz and glamour of Google's new marketing channels. I know the sales teams at Google are very much focused on the network and the other opportunities, seeming to take the power of search, which is currently buying all the lava lamps and free lunches at Google, for granted.

If you're looking for the best indoor air conditioner units for your money, there are a few types you should look at like wall, window, room, portable & small or large units. Also, if you're looking for a central air conditioning unit for indoor use, then that's a different type as well. Knowing which type you're going for will help narrow your search.
Small, portable indoor air conditioners are are great transporting to any room that needs a little cold air. There are models with ducts and water in the unit and evaporators that compress the air and expel the hot air outside. Other units simply cool the existing air by recycling air into the unit.
Room units like window and wall indoor air conditioners are great for places where you need a fixed unit that won't move. With indoor wall air conditioning units, you may need extra mounting material to get things up and running. Window and casement air conditioners will come with all you need normally. So, as you can see, knowing what you want and your price range will help you choose the type of portable indoor air conditioner that you get.
Indoor Air Conditioner Units
Stores like Sears, Northern Tool, Walmart and Home Depot sell both windowless air conditioners and those that are installed in home windows. These mini portable and stationary models will vary in effectiveness depending on the size of the room that the air conditioning unit is used in. Knowing the amount of BTUs needed for the square footage is important so that you don't buy a smaller or bigger model than actually needed.
Some features to consider in a good room air conditioner is the energy star compliance as well as being a heater combination appliance at the same time so a separate heater isn't needed during the winter. These cooling units for indoors are either portable, wall, or window type. Choosing the format as in where it will be installed should be a second step after choosing the proper BTU rating depending on room size like 5,000, 8,000, 10,000, 12,000, or 18,000 BTUs. But remember that these units really use a lot of power to keep the cool air flowing. So, make sure that you are ready for the power bill associated with this type of climate control during the summer months.
New Honeywell Indoor Evaporative Air Cooler Air Conditioner 100 sq ft room White US $176.89 |
Indoor Air Conditioner Portable For No Window
If you've ever been hot in a room. You know how much an indoor air conditioning can help. With the new portable and small room models, you can really get some cool air at a fraction of the cost. But even new energy efficient models will save you money over the long run with central air conditioning units. What brand of no window indoor air conditioner units have you used?

"Woe is me" is in fact the correct usage, "woe" being the subject of the sentence and "me" being the object. Grammar aside, it is also a direct quote from the Bible and Shakespeare's Hamlet. It is an exclamation of sorrow and misfortune. The verb "woe-is-me"ing is a modern adaptation of this meaning to express said sorrow and misfortune to others. Glorified moaning, perhaps.
Ophelia: "O, woe is me, T'have seen what I have seen, see what I see!" - William Shakespeare, Hamlet. You might almost say Ophelia was 'woe-is-me'ing... if you wanted to make Shakespeare turn in his grave.

The Star: Canada needs to clean up its act in the oil sands and fight those who've given the country a global black eye, Environment Minister Jim Prentice says. Prentice said the Conservative government will continue to support development of the vast stores of sandy bitumen in northern Alberta because it's one of Canada's key economic drivers. But companies need to become more environmentally responsible so that Canada can achieve the "clean energy superpower" mantle to which the government aspires.
The Globe: If there was one moment when the near-moribund climate-change negotiations began to revive, it was yesterday at 12:30 p.m. in Copenhagen.
That's when the leaders of the two countries at the centre of the impasse - U.S. President Barack Obama and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao - retreated to a room in the Bella Center, the airport-size convention hall that has played host to the near round-the-clock climate negotiations since Dec. 7.
The Times: Nasa scientists have produced the most compelling evidence yet that bacterial life exists on Mars. It showed that microscopic worm-like structures found in a Martian meteorite that hit the Earth 13,000 years ago are almost certainly fossilised bacteria. The so-called bio-morphs are embedded beneath the surface layers of the rock, suggesting that they were already present when the meteorite arrived, rather than being the result of subsequent contamination by Earthly bacteria.
Ottawa Citizen: Despite the recent surge in H1N1 deaths, the nation's chief public health officer says the pandemic virus appears no deadlier than regular seasonal influenza and that there could actually be substantially fewer flu deaths than normal this season. Although H1N1 is disproportionately infecting more children and otherwise healthy young adults, "the mortality rate from this (H1N1) is no worse than seasonal flu," Dr. David Butler-Jones said.

Greenfingers is a reggae band formed in Niš in 2011. The band's line-up has changed a lot as many members came and went since then. It all started with casual rehearsals and people who were not too invested in the band, but they all contributed to the creation of the band's present sound. We are trying to inspire people in a positive way by sending out soothing sounds of reggae vibrations.
In February 2012, the band recorded two songs, "Rebel" and "Confront" in the "Pirana" recording studio in Kruševac.
Formed in
Zorana Ignjatović - vocals, flute;
Luka Popović - guitar;
Aleksandar Igrošanac - guitar;
Slađan Mihajlović - bass;
Nikola Stanojević - trombone, melodica;
Bogdan Stefanovic - percussion;
Marko Brašnjović - drums;

"I ordered my movie on Dec. 3 with expedited delivery and still never received it! I tried calling customer service and all I get is a machine that tells me to leave a name and email so they will call me back. I even sent an email and never received a reply back. They are not responding and i even went on the site to speak to someone online and i have is: "We are still trying to connect you, please be patient. If you don"t want to wait please leave a message: Leave message. Thank you!" This is starting to look like a complete scam! DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!! "
"good price for good movie = good deal "
"I was shocked by how fast the shipping was! I bought it on a Thursday, it was shipped on Friday and received it on Monday. Excellent price. I couldn't even find this item anywhere else and was expecting to pay $20 more than I did. A co-worker asked about the item as was also pleasantly surprised by the price and quick shipping. She may order one now too. "
"Movies were in mint condition, and delivered very quicklyTHANK YOU!!!"
"I placed the order and wanted to add an item. I clicked re-order thinking it would let me modify my order as the status was still pending. Unfortunately, it duplicated my order. My bad.It was after hours on Friday and I submitted a support ticket immediately to request the duplicate order cancelled.Customer support replied on Monday to inform me the packages had already been shipped and cancellation was possible upon return of the duplicate.The packages arrived in exactly 1 week (montreal->vancouver) and I returned one of the packages on the spot. The items received were as described and in perfect condition. I had to wait 2 weeks and submit another ticket to follow up on the duplicate order return status but inetvideo did reverse the credit card charge.The return was a very small hassle, especially considering the shipping was free. My order was of 10 items totaling around $70. A similar order from the US or multiple merchants I would ballpark a total of $100-$120 at least in shipping and duty.Was a positive shopping experience and have already placed another order!"
"This is my 2nd order from iNetVideo...they are amazing!!! HIGHLY recommended...great selection & AMAZING prices!!!"
"Excellent service and product quality. "
"iNetVideo is the best site ever,i made an order from,i recieved my order the next day!!!! that was amazing!!!!!! i would recomend this to everyone i know,they totally rock!!!!"
"loved the price, shipping was FAST. LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU!!!"
"had a little trouble making my order the the computer but otherwise was very satisfide with the time it took me to get my order. will shop with this company again when i am looking for another movie. "
"It was very easy to find what I was looking for, and the prompt delivery was excellent!"
"Very fast and efficient. I ordered on the 16th of Febuary and received it on the 20th of Febuary."
"ur service was great i was expectin the dvd i ordered days later and it only took a couple of days to recieve it thanks 4 doin buisness with u bev b"
"I love ordering movies from iNetVideo..delivery is fast ..I live in a remote area and service is great..the prices are very good. I can find old movies or new ones. Thanks and keep up the good work. JohanneL"
"I have nothing but great things to say about the shopping experience with iNetVideo. The company keeps you up-to-date on the status of your order. It arrives as promised. And the company backs what it sells. I will definitely shop at iNetVideo again."

GATE D2, FT. LAUDERADLE (International Airport), Fla. — One last blog post from the NFL annual meetings while waiting for my flight out of South Florida …
The Packers voted in favor of all the rules that passed at today's NFL annual meeting except the one that made the crack-back block a foul a on a defenseless player, which now makes it a 15-yard penalty.
Packers president Mark Murphy, who is in his first year on the competition committee, said the Packers voted against it. That makes sense considering the Packers employ the zone-blocking scheme on offense which uses cut-back blocks.
"I still think the block will be able to be made," Murphy said. "But the target is from the knees up to the shoulder."
The other rules that passed were:
* Extending the overtime rules for the postseason to regular-season games, meaning that both teams will have a chance to possess the ball unless the first team to do so scores a touchdown. Murphy said 27 of the last 32 overtime games meet that requirement anyway.
* Using replay to automatically review all turnover plays, meaning coaches wouldn't have to challenge them. It's an expansion of the review of all scoring plays, which was implemented last season.
* Making it a loss of down if a team illegally kicks a loose ball.
* Having too many men on the field became a dead-ball foul unless the extra player(s) is trying to get off the field.
Voted down were a proposal to make all replay rulings the responsibility of the official in the booth rather than the on-field referee and extending the horse-collar rule to quarterbacks in the pocket.
Two major by-law proposals were tabled — both involving extra roster spots. The proposals were to create a new injured reserve category for one player per team per season in which that player could return later in the year, and adding a weekly roster exemption for a player with a concussion.
Those are expected to be discussed again at the next league meeting in May.
"The issue there is it needs to be discussed with the (players) union," Murphy said.

Planning + Design + Construction collaborates with their clients to design and facilitate the appropriate graphic and visual interpretation of the recognition and the honor bestowed. Exterior materials such as granite, bronze, stainless steel, aluminum and zinc have been used.
In this example, the Class of 1953 initiated a replacement of an original 1953 bench that stood at a side entrance of the Tangeman University Center. In 2003, the new bench would also commemorate the 50th anniversary of the graduating class of 1953. Working with Jim Kautz from the class of 1953,Planning + Design determined the new honorific bench should be highly visible and installed in an area that encouraged reflection and thought. The 2003 renovation of the century-old Van Wormer Hall provided an ideal location within the serene landscape that borders the beginning of MainStreet at McMicken Circle. Using materials associated with Van Wormer Hall, P+D designed a cantilever granite bench with a limestone back heralding two plaques on either side of the granite. The limestone back displays the original plaque on the left side and a second plaque commemorating the rededication of the 1953 bench in 2004 upon the 50th class anniversary is seen on the right side.

A conversation with . . .
Director Greg Sherman gets in his wrangling
on summer production of Broadway's "Oliver"
Greg Sherman |
Conversations: Looking back |
Click here for more arts talk. |
Summer Musical Enterprise has been putting on a show in the New River Valley every summer for 14 years. Tonight is opening night for this year's production, the Broadway smash "Oliver!" directed by Greg Sherman.
Here Sherman, a professor of teacher education at Radford University, shares some thoughts on the challenges and rewards of working with a 100-person production that includes a large cast of first-time child actors.
How many people are involved in this production?
Greg Sherman: There are about 70 cast members … almost all amateurs, and many of them have done nothing before this … and 30 various crew members, including the orchestra.
What's the age range?
GS: I think our youngest just turned 7, and they range up to … they will hit me if I say 7 to 70, I will say from 7 to well-seasoned.
What's the majority?
GS: More than half the cast are between the ages of 7 and 17.
How long have you been involved with Summer Musical Enterprise?
GS: This is my first job directing, and it will probably be my last. You get so burned out. Anybody who works as the director, they do their year, then they end up in rehab, and then they actually cannot see any type of theatrical production for three years. … I've enjoyed my one year and already made my reservations.
What was your involvement before this?
GS: This is my third show being involved. I worked technical stuff in shows before this.
How long have you been working on this one?
GS: We had auditions in March, and we started having meetings in May, and we've been rehearsing two or three nights a week since the very beginning of June.
And there's a different production every year?
GS: Different musicals, yeah. They try to stagger when they're gonna do one with kids and without kids. They can only handle doing a show with kids every two or three years because you do it with kids and then you realize why you don't do it with kids. They're fabulous, I love kids, it's just a lot of work. Actually the reason I got involved with this one was because there were kids. … I have experience as a director in children's theater. Most of my directing experience is with kids.
What got you into theater in general, and into the directing path? Did you start with acting?
GS: Yeah I was an actor first, in college. I was a junior high science teacher, and the theater teacher at our junior high school ended up in an institution about halfway through the year and I had to take over. That's true by the way. … I had been involved in theater before, so I ended up being the theater teacher and I really loved it. I ended up doing that for six or seven years.
So you're a professor now?
GS: In education, not theater. But I suppose there's an element of theater in education.
Watching you direct, I was actually very much reminded of when I taught English classes. Trying to find a language that conveys a vision to everyone in the room — in your case 100 people. What do you think is the role of the director?
GS: Try to stay sane I guess. One thing I really wanted to do this year was to encourage people of all ages who have never done this before to get involved, that it would be enjoyable. I was really interested in working with people who have never done this before. … This is a huge team effort. We have a vocal director, a music director, a technical director, a lighting director, the costumers, the set designer. We had a meeting where I communicated what I thought the feel of the show should be, and everyone went off and did their thing, and I was just the person who had to sit there and say yes or no. Somebody has to be that person.
What's been the biggest challenge?
GS: Working around people's summer vacations. Here we are with two more rehearsals before opening night, and I think this might have been the rehearsal with the most people. Not everybody was here either. I don't think we've ever done a rehearsal with everybody, so there you go. That's the biggest challenge.
Biggest reward?
GS: My own kids are in it, and knowing that they're having a great time, that's been the biggest reward.
And that seems like it extends to your goal with everybody, to make it an enjoyable experience.
GS: Yeah, and I think they are really having a good time.
Summer Musical Enterprise's production of "Oliver!" opens tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the Squires Haymarket Theatre at Virginia Tech. The musical will also be performed at 7:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday and Aug. 18-20, and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday and Aug. 21.

Healing the Planet, its in the Bag
Fun, easy, affordable ways to clean up & green up…
I dont know about anyone else, but I have had this invisible weight on my shoulders ever since I started learning in school about oil spills, global warming, ozone layers, and something called a carbon footprint. Silly myths, right? Well this nagging little green angel on my shoulder keeps tugging on my ear to stop ignoring the "what ifs" and just DO SOMETHING.
Put a Stop to Offshore Drilling
May 2, 2010 by The Dove · Leave a Comment
Given the huge oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico last month, isnt it high time the government put a stop to offshore oil drilling once and for all? Short of banning it altogether, what can be done to prevent explosions, leaks and spills moving forward? –

Although our business was started as a high quality custom web site design company, logo design and web design are very similar. When web sites are designed, they basically start as graphic design, which is what logo design is.
Over the years, several web design customers were asking us if we could design logos. So, we started developing logos for new businesses and re-designing logos for established businesses. This has inspired us to add logo design to our list of services.
Our logo design packages are perfect for a startup business or an established business that wants a new look.

The reality is, so far, she is swimming upstream with the development of the company.
"Things are going a lot slower than I hoped," said Wooden, who won second place in the Business Plan Challenge Community Track. She spent a good part of the year working through government funding issues that still are not resolved. Because of this, investors are on the sidelines. "To be perfectly honest, I had expected to be further along in fund-raising," said Wooden.
Still, she has made headway. Wooden's plan involves hatching fish in a hatchery, then growing them to maturity in huge cages — some the size of football fields — 80 feet below the ocean surface. Those cages can cost $250,000, Wooden said, but improvements in the technology means costs are coming down and there is now an additional manufacturer in the market.
Agape Marine Ventures has added more scientific expertise. Two more marine biologists have joined the six-person team, bringing with them new connections and different specialties, said Wooden. For instance, the Delray Beach company is now working on growing feed more efficiently.
"Agape and I will continue making our way to the finish line."
Your wedding day can be perfect without breaking the bank — if Darren Atinsky has anything to say about it.
Atinsky's company, WedWu, the third-place winner in the Business Plan Challenge's Community Track, offers a platform to bid on wedding services. The Davie-based company plans to take its concept nationwide this spring.
In beta testing in 2012, WedWu booked and serviced more than 120 brides and grooms, some of them on very short notice. WedWu.com allows customers to bid for services for photography, video and DJ, all by pre-selected and fully vetted vendors. About 40 percent of customers take more than one service, said Atinsky, co-founder and CEO. "Once they get the concept they are more apt to add additional [services.] We have more than 30 events booked into this year already."
The payoff: Brides and grooms save an average of 40 percent over traditional services, said Atinsky.
He attributes much of WedWu's recent success to the company's social media push — about 60 percent of business has come through Facebook and other social sites.
WedWu, which also won last year's Business Plan Challenge/Miami Innovation Fund "Geek Tank," attracted new investment from the Miami Innovation Fund, which came in handy for its single biggest challenge this year.
That would be the actual programming of the concept to make it a fully automated system. "The industry has always been run on the personal touch. No one has ever automated this," Atinsky said. That work is underway.
WedWu announced in July that Shawn Kernes, the founding CTO of StubHub (acquired by eBay), joined the team as a technology advisor. It also added a chief developer, Stephen Sperry.
What's on the near horizon for WedWu? A full launch in April, and accompanying it will be a nationwide marketing campaign to introduce WedWu.
In time, WedWu plans to add more wedding services.
"WedWu is doing to the wedding and event industry what Priceline did for travel," said Atinsky.

The cakes and pastries look just great. I opted for the brownie and cream soda. It was a treat at a good price too.
The cakes and pastries look just great. I opted for the brownie and cream soda. It was a treat at a good price too.
I have tried few patties while in Kingston, but these in Devon house were the best. I have tried shrimp, chicken and beef and all of them were great.They also have a fish one and soya for vegeterians and i did not hear a bad word about the taste neither. Definitely a must try while in Jamaica.
Yummy soy and shrimp patties, although a bit spicy for me. Rum n raisin cheesecake is out of the world.
get my vote in this lovely place that also serves tea, coffee and house lemonade. The patties are incredible, flaky dough, generous filling, with a little spicy touch, the doughnuts are super fresh, and the rum cake is firm, but it melts in your mouth, and it contains a respectable amount of rum!! The places serves danishes, cookies, all kinds... More
Devon House Bakery has the best Jamaican patties. I had the fish patty and the chicken patty every time. There pastries are also very good.
Please please please, never go to the Devon House Bakery and not try the Shrimp patty. If they are out of shrimp patty, sit and wait until they have more. Because the patty is well loved, they normally run out but if you wait about 20-30 minutes they will have it available. To say this is the best shrimp patty... More
Tried the fish patties, they were the spiciest after the shrimp. Flaky, fresh and flavorful. The prices were very reasonable. The only problem was that there wasn't a lot of places to sit down to eat.
soya patty wicked Devon house is clean welcoming and pretty offering a likkle history and somewhere in the middle of Kingston to chill
You have to try the shrimp patty from Devon House Bakery, it is the BEST! The chicken and fish patties are also really good. Cute little presentation, unlike the regular patties. I like to break off a corner then scoop it into the filling, but however you decide to eat it, i'm sure you'll enjoy it! ... The black forest... More
A Jamaican patty is a thing of beauty and the patties at Devon House Bakery are the best. They're a little fancier than the regular patty which could have been a bad, pretentious thing except they really are very good. I've had the chicken, beef and soy and I like them all.

FIONA Reading thought she was hallucinating at first and we don't blame her.
All was normal until Fiona spied what looked like a giant potato head on the horizon while driving along a quiet road near Bindi Bindi, northeast of Perth, in Western Australia.
"Much to our relief it was just a big rock the locals had placed on the banks of the dam and painted a face on, no doubt to relieve the boredom of the passing travellers," Fiona said.

International Safeguarding |
Plant and Plant Products Inspection Preclearance inspections are conducted offshore, by APHIS personnel (IS and PPQ). Preclearance programs minimize the pest risk at origin and expedite commodities that have met entry requirements prior to arrival. APHIS personnel conduct inspections of plant products, oversee the packing facilities and conduct field visits as applicable. The APHIS representatives are present through the process. Quarantine treatments provide an alternative to import plant products and mitigate pests. The wide choices of treatments allow for a variety of produce to be available year round for the US consumer, while maintaining quarantine security. Quarantine treatments include chemical (such as methyl bromide), temperature (hot water immersion, cold treatment, etc) and irradiation.
View the above link for information about regulated craft industries.
Quarantine treatments allow importation of products while mitigating the pest risk. Importation of agricultural products from other countries gives the American consumer an opportunity to have a wider choice of fruits and vegetables. USDA APHIS assesses the risk of importations based on commodity and pest status. Quarantine treatments are specific to the pest of concern and commodity. USDA APHIS determines type(s) of treatments when the pest is prevalent in the country, difficult to inspect for and/or of quarantine significance. Treatments can be chemical or non-chemical. There are various approved chemical treatments: fumigants, dips and spray. The fumigants include methyl bromide, phosphine and sulfuryl fluoride. Non chemical treatments include cold treatment, hot water immersion, vapor heat treatment, steam sterilization and irradiation. Irradiation treatments have been developed recently. Procedures and schedules are described in the Treatment Manual. Code of Federal Regulations for Phytosanitary Treatments (7CFR Part 305)
Passenger baggage, cargo, mail and conveyances moving domestically from Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are inspected to prevent pests from spreading to other areas of the United States. Quarantine Policy, Analysis & Support provides policy and guidance to the predeparture program.
These procedures are designed to identify and/or mitigate the risk of exotic pest introductions through action taken in foreign countries. Integrity checks to ensure compliance with the program guidelines may be conducted at the U.S. port of entry.

The Tourist (Blu-ray)
Depp is one of the hottest stars in Hollywood and I had high hopes for this international spy thriller. Sadly, the star power of Depp and Jolie couldn't overcome the meandering and predictable script from the trio of writers that includes the director (Florian Heckel von Donnersmarck - The Lives of Others). Character development is nonexistent, there's no real drama or suspense throughout the film, and anyone with half a brain can see the ending coming from a mile away.
Video Highlights
- AVC/1080p encode on a BD-50 disc
- Excellent detail
- Natural film grain
- Deep blacks
- Phenomenal depth
Audio Highlights
- DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack
- Pedestrian sound design
- Decent imaging
- Occasional ambient effects from the surround speakers
- Intelligible dialog
As boring as I found the movie, I had virtually no complaints with the AVC encode from Sony. Detail is outstanding, whether in close-ups or long shots and the depth in the image appear almost 3D, especially on the wide sweeping shots of Venice. Inky blacks in the nighttime sequences offer revealing shadows without crush. The audio track doesn't break any new ground due to its pedestrian sound design, but there are times where the imaging is quite good, and there are some occasional discrete effects from the rear of the room.
Bonus Materials
- Audio commentary
- Six Featurettes:
- Canal Chats
- A Gala Affair
- Action in Venice
- Bringing Glamor Back
- Tourist Destination – Travel the Canals of Venice
- Alternate Animated Title Sequence
- Outtakes
- BD-Live enabled with Movie IQ
Other than the beautiful cinematography, I can't say I particularly enjoyed this one other than seeing Jolie in glorious 1080p. The replay value is nonexistent but if you're a fan of the stars you may want to place it in your rental queue.

University of Akron starting point guard Alex Abreu appeared in court Wednesday afternoon in connection with drug trafficking charges.
Abreu's attorney Bob Meeker spoke to AkronNewsNow.com,saying his client is anxious to see what direction the case is going to go.
"Hopefully by April 24 there will be some direction to this case," Meeker said.
The charges are stemming from a March incident where Abreu allegedly accepted a delivery of five pounds of marijuana from an undercover police officer leading to his arrest. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Meeker says he'll be continuing to look at the prosecution's case before Abreu's second pretrial date.
"I'll be talking with the prosecutor, I'll be reading the discovery, and I'll be determining a course for the case to travel," he said.
Abreu is currently free on a $5,000 bond. He along with co-defendant 18-year old Austin Durgala will appear before Judge Mary Margaret Rowlands April 24 at 1p.m. Durgala has also pleaded not guilty.

DALLAS — Mack Brown looked disheveled. Looked exasperated. Looked like a guy who had run out of gas three hours ago and had to walk 10 desert miles to the nearest filling station.
Mack Brown has no answers as to why Sooners overwhelm Longhorns
Texas' football coach walked into the Cotton Bowl interview room Saturday and had no answer for why the Sooners routinely dominate his Longhorns in historic fashion.
And finally on another amazing Saturday at the Texas State Fair, Mack was all square with Bob Stoops. Big Tex Bob didn't have an answer, either.
OU routed Texas 63-21 in a game that was not as close as the score indicated. The Longhorns had seven drives of three-plays-and-punt. The Sooners had seven touchdown drives of longer than 55 yards.
And now Stoops has beaten Mack four times by at least 38 points in a series that once considered 21-14 a blowout. What in the name of Fred Akers is going on?
"I don't know how to answer that," Stoops said. "Fortunately, we've been able to play well. It isn't just one side or the other."
True enough. Robust offense. Suffocating defense. Big plays in the kicking game. In a series that historically is a dogfight, the Sooners have produced victories of 63-14, 65-13, 55-17 and 63-21, the latter two this year and last.
And it's not like they're beating the dregs of Texas. The Longhorns came into those four games nationally ranked 11th, 11th, 11th and 15th.
OU has beaten Texas by at least 38 points four times in the 2000s. That's the same number of times in the 2000s they've beaten by 38 points Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa State. Combined, over 34 meetings.
OU has beaten Texas by at least 38 points more times than the Sooners have beaten Baylor by at least 38 points (three) in the 2000s. Or Texas Tech (three). Or Texas A&M (three).
This calls for simplicity. The Cotton Bowl setting creates a unique college football experience. The split crowd. The state fair. The hype. The revelry.
And the Sooners thrive in it.

Charles Monnett, who was temporarily suspended in 2011 after accusations of scientific misconduct, recently settled a whistleblower complaint with the Department of the Interior (H/T Roger Pielke, Jr.). Monnett has officially retired from the Department received a cash settlement, and had a letter of reprimand removed from his file (placed there for supposedly leaking agency documents). The Department does not acknowledge any liability in the matter, and states that the agreement was entered into on their part to avoid the costs of litigation (which may well have influenced Monnett's decision to accept).
As background and refresher, Monnett worked for the Deparment's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. In 2010 a scientific integrity complaint was lodged against him, but the department did not find evidence to suggest scientific misconduct, but reprimanded him for leaking internal government documents. Monnett alleged actions by the Bureau and the Department's Office of Inspector General constituted misconduct and harmed the integrity of his scientific efforts. The department found (cases 290 and 295) that the actions of both parties were consistent with the nature of such investigations and did not violate the scientific integrity policy.
Arguably the first test case for scientific integrity policies following the big push from the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Monnett's case involved both the scientific integrity policy (which he was accused of violating) and general policies and laws concerning whistleblowing activity (which is mentioned in the scientific integrity policy). While there would appear to be resolution in terms of a partial restoration of Monnett's status and name following charges that could not be substantiated, I think there's a reasonable set of questions to ask about what such restoration means in the context of scientific misconduct.
Could scientific integrity policies benefit from stronger language concerning whistleblowing and retaliation? Ultimately these policies will rise and fall based on the people, processes and culture in place to implement them, but the language provides a starting point. Do accusations of scientific misconduct (which are not all the possible violations of scientific integrity policies) warrant the additional scrutiny and protection intended for those trying to reveal other kinds of inappropriate conduct?
I think it's worth considering how the additional consequences to the accused of claiming scientific misconduct can be handled in a way that's as fair as possible to all concerned. But since the Office of Science and Technology Policy seems to think they've done all they need to do in this area, the consideration will have to come from other interested and/or aggrieved parties. Any takers?
