It looks like everyone's favorite sailor boy Sam Raimi has been confirmed to produce the upcoming "Poltergeist" remake. This puts an end to the rumors that he would be taking the director's chair for the film. But if not him then who!? And why do we call him "sailor boy"? It's almost like I'm making all of this up or something.
Fans of "The Ring" will be excited, shocked, disgusted and/or neutral on the news that there may be another film in the works. According to Paramount Film Group president Adam Goodman there's an idea being tossed around that would see the next installment in the film series going the found footage route. Ya know, cause why not?
I don't want to say this is the worst news day ever but I'm about to give you an update on casting for "Wrong Turn 5". Ready? Simon Ginty, Oliver Hoare, Amy Lennox, Paul Luebke, Duncan Wisbey, Kyle Redmond-Jones and Peter Brooke are all in. I honestly have no idea who any of these people are.
Blah blah blah Asylum is making a "Battleship" rip off called "American Battleship" and Universal is pissed about it and going to sue. They're just mad because they didn't think of putting Carl Weathers in his Apollo Creed shorts on the poster. Ya know, cause it's a lot cheaper to get Carl Weathers than Rihanna. I just assume.
An Indiana man is under arrest after he forced another man to moonwalk at gun point. Wasn't this in a movie? I feel like it was Gene Wilder holding the gun. That can't be right though. Someone help me out here. It wasn't "See No Evil, Hear No Evil" was it?
It's got to be a fun night for a cop when you're called to a trailer court because a shotgun just went off and there's a guy who calls himself BeeSting wrestling with a resident. Beats traffic duty I guess.
Welcome to March! In days of old the druids would celebrate the first day of March by taking some time off from Druiding and enjoying some fishing. They would spend most of February building canoes and the person with the best canoe would be given the title of Supreme Kleeton. He would be showered with gifts and given the best fishing pole in all of the Druid town. The person with the worst canoe would be flogged to death. It really sucked.
Steve Watson's book "Before I Go to Sleep", a tale of a woman who's suffering from a injury that has left her without the power to save new memories for two decades, has been in the big screen adaptation bucket for a while now without much action. But today my friends, oh today we have news that Nicole Kidman is in talks to take on the lead role in the film. So I guess that's still not much momentum there. In talks could be she went out to dinner, got drunk and said something like "Hey! I want to play the lead in a movie that sounds a lot like 'Memento' but isn't 'Memento'".
The short film "Archetype", which tells the story of a robot that begins to think on it's own, has been picked up by "Chronicle" producer John Davis with plans to turn it into a feature film. No word on when the movie will start filming but I'm hoping they turn it into "Short Circuit 3". I've been waiting almost 25 years for that movie to happen.
I've never seen "The Day of the Triffids" and to be honest I thought it was a Star Trek episode until now but it looks like Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures has picked up the rights to remake the 1962 film. The movie focuses on a couple left with the power of sight after a meteorite shower hits the earth, leaving the population blind and giant plants growing everywhere. "The Trouble With Tribbles"! That's the Star Trek episode I'm thinking of.
Bill Paxton has joined Laurence Fishburne in the cast of "The Colony". The film follows a group of survivors trying to fend off a gang of cannibals after the second ice age hits. How do they cook the meat if it's the ice age? God I hope they answer that question in the movie. That's all I want to know. I'll walk out of the theater once they tell me.
If you're going to leave your just-used butt plug someplace you might want to make sure that place isn't the back seat of the cop car you were just thrown into. I don't know proper butt plug etiquette though. I could be wrong on this.
A North Caroline man is with us no more after he accidentally drank gasoline and then lit up a smoke. A mistake any of us could or have made in the past.
I'm pretty sure now that I've read "The Hunger Games" I'll be getting my "special visitor" any day now but god damn if I'm not excited about the big screen adaptation of the book. I mean look at this new fake nail polish ad with Elizabeth Banks all prettied up. Just look at it. I've never been more ashamed of myself.
Andrzej Bartkowiak directed the movie "Doom", which was based on a video game and was awesome. If you think it was terrible then I think you're terrible. Sorry I have to be so harsh around the holidays. The reason I'm letting you know all this is Bartkowiak has now been tapped to direct a new film titled "Beneath the Deep", a new film about a group of travelers trapped in the Caribbean with some locals who see them as intruders. Sounds like my in-laws! But seriously folks, what's the deal with airplane food?
Sam Raimi is directing "Oz: The Great and Powerful" so it was pretty much a no brainer that Bruce Campbell would pop up in the film somewhere. But then Bruce took to the tweets and said he wasn't going to be able to be in the film. But now, now it looks like he is because in a recent interview he said he shot a small but pivotal scene in the film. More on this developing story as it unfolds.
"The Darkest Hour" comes out on Christmas and I've explained the plot so many times in the news that if you don't know it by now then you don't read this every day and there's a good chance you're not reading it now so I'm not sure why I'm even typing this. Here's a new clip from the film where a reporter gets all blown up and crap. Thank you for your business.
Much to my surprise it's illegal to post a picture of your toddler bound and gagged on Facebook. Time to think up a new Christmas card idea.
Here's a heartwarming story from Florida about a mother who is in hot water after she was arrested for pimping her 8 year old daughter. Think about that on Christmas when you don't get your Dry-Hump-Me Elmo or whatever is popular now and you say you have the worst mom ever.
I'm two books into "The Hunger Games" trilogy and I'm not going to lie, I actually like them a lot. The entire time though I've had a weird feeling that I'm getting into some sort of strange "Twilight" cult by reading them. Now I've seen the trailer for the first film and it's confirmed. I'm the next big teenage heartthrob book series. Soon I'm going to have to pick which guy I like better and get his name tattooed on my ass.
I think Eric, BGH's CFO, might be the only person in the world who is excited about "Underworld: Awakening". The film is the fourth installment in the long running vampires vs. werewolfs series and hits theater in full frontal 3D this coming January. To celebrate all it's glory here's a new poster for you to view. It's got Kate Beckinsale all gunned up. Well it's got a painting or something of her. She's like 37 or something now and that's disgusting in real life.
Isn't it cool how Sam Raimi puts Bruce Campbell in all his movies? Ya know as a "hey remember when we made low budget horror flicks together? I appreciate you man". Well it looks like Bruce's cameo in Sam's new film "Oz: The Great and Powerful" has already been cut before the cameras even started to roll. I bet it's because some woman told Sam to do it. Freakin Yoko Ono's.
John Ritter is not going to let being dead for 8 years stop his acting career. His new film "Terror Tract", about a real estate agent who terrorizes a couple, is now streaming on Netflix for your viewing pleasure. Alright the movie has actually been sitting around since before Ritter's death in 2003 but it's a lot more fun to pretend he's acting from beyond the grave. Spooky Ritter!
Hitting your girlfriend in the head with your guitar is awful enough but when you rattle off something like "When a woman messes with my guitar, she messes with my world." you just sound like a douche. Ya know, a bigger douche then if you had just hit her.
And here's a story about a guy accused of going down on a female dog. Happy Monday!
Selma Blair has been in a lot of movies over the years, but to me she'll always be that girl who made out with Buffy in that crappy teen movie where everyone dry humped. You know the one I'm talking about. Well now she's set to star in "Columbus Circle", a new flick where she'll play a girl who hasn't left her apartment in nearly 20 years who has to confront her fears when her neighbor is murdered. I look forward to not remembering her in this also. Unless she makes out with a girl from a crappy 90's TV show. The cast of "Charmed" I'm looking at you.
When a movie gets pushed back a couple weeks you take notice, but don't really get worried. When the Sam Raimi produced film "The Possession" gets pushed from a January release to August 31 then you start to think something might be up. The movie, which follows a couple kids who accidentally unleash a an evil spirit hell bent on their destruction, has already been pushed once before so nothing good can come of this. Although maybe Raimi just likes the summer months. They're so much happier.
Legendary Pictures has acquired the rights to a new flicked currently titled "Spectral" which is being described as a grittier version of "Ghostbusters". The film comes from Ian Fried, a name I find on IMDB but I'm assuming it's not the same guy who was the voice of Timothy in "The Secret of NIMH". Although if it is I'm already a giant fan.
Think you're sick of exorcism films? Well think again my friends because none other than Nicolas Cage is being courted for a new film "The Quiet Ones". The film is based on the real life happenings of a team of Cambridge academics in the 1970's who record their investigation as they attempt to exorcise a poltergeist from a young girl. Didn't I blow your mind this time? Didn't I?
Watching "Dexter" pretty much gives you all the tools you'd need to carry out a good old fashioned murder. But who has time to go to the store and get one of those rubber suits? So you improvise! Like this woman in LA who covered herself in bubble wrap before she attempted to kill her ex-lover. It's like something you'd learn on one of those craft shows on PBS Sunday mornings.
Dealing with drive up tellers at the bank can be a real bummer. Especially when they're all pissy and act like pricks. So why not do like this man in Florida and take a leak in the pneumatic tube. I know what you're thinking. How the hell do I know what they call that tube you shoot your money over to the bank in? I'm not just a pile of good looks folks.
Hot pockets kids! Looks like there's a film in the works based on the Matterhorn rollercoaster ride at Disneyland. Currently titled "The Hill" the film will focus on a group travelers who head to the top of a mountain and encounter a bunch of Yeti's on the way down. Then their lap bars hit them in the nuts and they walk around funny for the rest of the day. I added that part but it would make it really authentic to the ride experience so I'm pretty sure they'll include it.
Because the teat isn't completely dry the good people at Lionsgate will be putting out a special 25th anniversary edition of Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn". In all fairness it'll be on Blu-Ray and it'll have a boat load of new interviews and commentaries but honestly at this point what more can you say. "Oh hey I never noticed that chair in the corner of the room before. Let's talk about that".
Steven Spielberg and Stephen King are teaming up with Showtime to create a new series based on King's 2009 novel "Under the Dome". The story focuses on a group of vacationers in Maine who begin battling after a strange force field appears over their town. Wasn't that the basis of "The Simpsons Movie"? I hope this one is funny too and makes a lot of doughnut references.
Looks like Amy Adams is being eyed by Warner Bros. to take the lead in the upcoming remake of "The Orphanage". Nothing's been confirmed yet but Adams would play the role of a woman who takes over the orphanage where she was raised only to find that the imaginary friends her son is playing with are out to get her. I don't know who played that part in the original and honestly I don't care. There's no way she was as adorable as Amy Adams. Once again the USA makes things better.
You never know when love will strike. Sometimes it'll be at a book store, sometimes it'll be at Burger King and other times it'll be in a pool while looking at a sexy inflatable raft. What makes it better is that the Ohio man who is up on charges for having relations with the flotation device was arrested last year for getting it on with an inflatable pumpkin. I wonder if the pumpkin is jealous.
Some people just want to be friends. But apparently it's illegal to send a friend request to a guy who's on trial while you're sitting on the jury. Apparently you can't talk about the trial on your wall either. I think if it was Myspace this guy would have been ok. Myspace is where the deviants hang out.
I'm willing to give my friend Rob Zombie as many chances as his crispy disgusting hair wants to toss out. That's just the kind of guy I am. So when he takes to the twitter and says his new film "The Lords of Salem" is looking "demented, perverted satanic", I'm intrigued. For those of you not familiar with the film it's a heartwarming tale about a group of witches who come back from the great beyond to bring death and destruction on modern day Salem. Sounds like they also get some action also. Good for them.
It's about time there was a Roller Derby slasher film isn't it? That is of course if there already hasn't been one and I just haven't seen it. Let's pretend "MurderDrome" is the first of its kind though. The film is about an up and coming roller star who gets caught in a love triangle that eventually evolves into a demon filled blood bath. Demon roller people? That's got to be a new idea. Was there a demon in that Drew Barrymore flick that came out a couple years ago? I never saw it.
For those of you who haven't had a chance to get John Carpenter's "The Ward" you'll be able to get your disgusting little syrup stained hands on the DVD and Blu-Ray on August 16th. And today we've got some cover art, which is the same as the movie poster, and specs, commentary with John Carpenter and star Jared Harris. So there you have it, the same image you've seen 100 times already and some commentary with an actor who's in the movie about 15 minutes. Operators are standing by.
While it's no big surprise it's still nice to see that Bruce Campbell will in fact be in Sam Raimi's upcoming new film "Oz: The Great and Powerful" which tells the story of how everyone's favorite Wizard came to be. That is of course unless you consider those weirdos from "Lord of the Rings" to be your favorite wizards. And if that is the case I'd ask you to kindly stop reading my news.
What's worse than throwing a cat out of a seven story window? Raping it beforehand. But I guess when you're high on meth you do those sort of things. Or when you're from Iowa. I don't know the difference really.
Apparently there's a big problem in the Ukraine with restaurants keeping bears and forcing them to drink booze for other people's amusement. This is the first time I've ever wanted to go to the Ukraine.
"I Saw the Devil" director Kim ji-Woon has lined up "The Last Stand" as his official entry into the world of English cinema. The movie will focus on drug lord trying to make his way down to Mexico and the sheriff hellbent on stopping him. Even better news it that Arnold Schwarzenegger himself will take on the role of said sheriff. Estaré de vuelta! According to Google that's "I'll be back" in Spanish.
Ray Liotta, Christian Slater and Ving Rhames in a straight to DVD thriller? Oh how the mighty have fallen. The movie is "The River Murders" and it's about a giant river that comes to life and murders people. Alright that's a lie, it's about a detective, played by Liotta, who is trying to hunt down a murderer who is taking out his ex-girlfriends one by one. I'm not sure I'd really work that hard to stop something like this. Sounds like someone's doing him a favor. Maybe send one of those Edible Arrangements.
Been waiting a long time for the next installment in the "Evil Dead" series? Well it looks like you might not have to wait much longer. Maybe. Word around campus is long time Sam Raimi collaborator and editor Bob Murawski has descended on Detroit to begin production on the film. If it's true it looks like the long delayed project could begin shooting sometime in the near future. If it isn't true I just look like I believe everything I read on the internet. Which I see absolutely no reason to stop doing.
Last week the internet was all abuzz with the rumor that Spike Lee might be hopping into the director's chair for the US remake of the Chan-wook Park's "Oldboy" and now it looks like he's officially been confirmed. So that happened. Feel free to go back to last week's news and read the hilarious jokes I put in the post about the rumor. I think there was something about America being awesome. Which of course is no joke. Rock, flag and eagle!
Michael Todd, bassist for the awful rock band Coheed and Cambria was arrested this past weekend after he stole Oxycontin from a Walgreen's pharmacy. Now if only the rest of the band would be picked up on charges of making terrible music I could go to sleep a happy man tonight. So in summery, I hate Coheed and Cambria.
A 57 year old man in Ireland is under arrested after his girlfriend died of an apparently allergic reaction to dog sperm. Let that sentence sink in for a minute. Alright let's move on. The two apparently met in a bestiality chat room and eventually agreed to meet in order to let the lovely lass go to town with the gentleman's dog. Later on she developed a severe reaction to the "aftermath" and eventually died at a local hospital. Interesting part here, and I feel sick saying this, is that he's not under arrest because she died but rather for allowing the dog to have sex with her in the first place. It's a terrible way to get caught for the crime though.
Fans of the first two "Hellboy" films might want to cover up their cereal bowls because I'm about to piss all over your Wheaties. According to Hellboy creator Mike Mignola there's no chance of director Guillermo del Toro ever returning to make a third film. So i guess that does mean a 3rd film could be made without del Toro but who the hell wants to see that. The Canadians maybe but not this guy. Those hockey rioting sickos would probably eat that crap up with ketchup.
For those of you who aren't complete burnouts an can remember all the way back to 2004 you might remember some pretty bold words from Danny Elfman about never working with Sam Raimi again after his experience on "Spiderman 2". Well it looks like the Elf Man has had a change of heart and has signed on to do the score of Sam's new "Wizard of OZ" inspired flick "OZ: The Great and Powerful". So good news for those of you who are still holding out for an Oingo Boingo reunion.
Remember the days when people actually enjoyed Wes Craven's movies? Well I do and you should respect your elders you snotty little smartass. Anyway his 1977 classic film "The Hills Have Eyes" is finally being given the Blu-Ray treatment and will hit shelves on September 6th. So far no word on extras yet but this might be a nice place to record a little apology for "My Soul to Take".
If you're like me then you're still washing your eyes our with soap and water after seeing a Kane Hodder sex scene in "Hatchet 2". But here's a new slasher flick staring the Hodster as a creepy gas station owner who also seems to be obsessed with women titled "Exit 33". The flick has just been given an August 2nd release date and I can't imagine we'll see any hot Hodder action in it but if we do it'll most likely be in a gas station bathroom. Can you imagine what that would smell like?
How the hell did they not think of this sooner? The fine people at New York's LaGuardia Airport have put in a place a new plan to take geese that are in the way of planes taking off and ship them off to Pennsylvania. What happens to them there? They're slaughtered, cooked and fed to homeless people! I hope the cook is wearing a loin cloth and listening to Viking metal while he throws the geese into the oven. That's the only way this could be more awesome.
And here's a story about Chinese scientists who have come up with a new genetically modified cow that can produce milk that's similar to human breast milk. No clue as to when something like this would become available but there's a 100% chance I will accidentally buy this and put it on my Lucky Charms.
Diana Terranova, who you probably remember as Stripper #2 from every movie that's taken place in Vegas in the past five years has landed a role in the upcoming flick "Piranhaconda". If you can't guess from the name the movie is about a half anaconda half piranha that is 125% awesome.
I've seen a handful of trailers and countless images from "Sucker Punch" and I still don't have a clue what the movie is about. By no means does this mean I don't want to see it though, it looks awesome my friends. Here's a gang load of new posters to prove my point. They're full of prison girl comic book goodness, which is hot to nerds and deviants so kudos to the makers.
"Fertile Ground" is the next After Dark Originals film to see a trailer and much to my surprise it has nothing to do with gardening. It does have a lot to do with a couple who move to a house in New Hampshire only to find it is chock full of spooky happenings. Silver lining, New Hampshire is absolutely fabulous in both the summer and fall seasons.
Looks like the "Evil Dead" remake is still very much alive with Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert apparently looking at a script this very month. I have no idea if this is good or bad news at this point so let's talk about Rami's movie "For Love of the Game". Wasn't so bad, right, for a romantic comedy? Kelly Preston is always delightful but man I can't remember the last Kevin Costner movie I've seen.
Been a while since we've seen a good crop circle. Well here's one that popped up in a rice field in Slemen, Yogyakarta. I have no idea where that is but the farmers think it was aliens so I now know that farmers in Slemen are bat shit crazy.
This one's for North Carolina! C'mon and raise up. Take your shirt off, twist it 'round yo' head. Spin it like a helicopter. That was a good song, right? Anyway here's a story about a guy from NC who got wasted and called 911 looking for a hooker.
This one comes to you literally from our Mom's basement...

Hot answers tagged mathematical-psychology
Thoughts on the paper
The paper appears to provide a high level overview of the role of mathematics in cognitive science. I'm not a sufficient expert in the overall field of cognitive science where I'd feel comfortable to truly judge the accuracy of the overall synthesis that Andler (2012) provides. That said, much of the paper is about providing examples ...
Thanks for sharing the article. I read the paper and what I take from it is a rather pessimistic view. He suggests that there is a crucial need for overarching proper mathematical modeling, but he makes it sound this is also a huge obsticle and we must wait (longer than a young persons academic career) to see the fruits of it.
I'm coming from a theoretical ...

Never have I cried because of pure, unfiltered hatred. Congratulations for breaking this mare.
Though a part of me still holds love for you and yearns for your approval and love, she's almost dead; beaten to death by you. My own mother. I don't believe in fortune tellers, but that mystic man in Vietnam was right. We would become strangers.
Hatred is dangerous. But at least I still feel anything for you at all. And the more I think about it, maybe its not hate. Just disappointment in myself for expecting anything more from a women who continuously wishes that I was dead. Why don't you do the job yourself. Spare us all.

By the way now im watching Densetsu.... 13 ep, no bad at all, I finished the 12ep of HOTD (1st season??) nice!! any news about the second season??????
Manga wise Naruto is good but Anime wise, the fillers are making it shitty again. Personally, i'd prefer an hiatus (1 or 2 months) over so many fillers in a row, unless they make a large filler (several episodes) with a good story / plot: One Piece's G8 arc comes to mind. Personally, i like Darker then Black and Ghost in the Shell too but my favorite is, by far, One Piece. Story wise, it's superb: it's rare for anyone to predict what craziness will come next. Have you dudes ever seen: One piece was licenced to America but they edited it, badly, or so i'm told. For those wanting to watch One Piece, i recommend watching a subbed Japanese version.
Many shows, like Hunter X Hunter have simply ended and released a new season once the manga had gotten ahead again. My theory is: Naruto and Bleach dont do this because they want to keep the popularity up. Everyone would move onto the next thing if they stopped airing for a time. And im sure the companies making them dont want this to happen.
Naruto and Bleach still have their own games, so even if the anime/manga takes a break there would hardly be a dent.
That has a down side. Remember Samurai X? They made filler after filler and that killed the show before it got to the best part. When i read the manga, i was quite surprised @ what was missing from the show. Pity too: it was a good show.
th beginning of the arrancar arc is were i was done. its almost like kubo just didnt know what to do with the show their was so much filler.
has anyone here read/watched baki the grappler? if not i recommend you do so. that stuff will put hair on your chest. start with the 2 anime series, then read grappler baki, then read baki son of ogre. you will never regret it and will wonder why you ever watched SHOUJO(little sissy-boy) anime like bleach and naruto. Just a little testament to it's awesomeness.
Anyone watched Macross F: Itsuwari no Utahime yet?? I just watched it, it was simply epic, i dont think gundamn could compete with that, not visually and not with music... Soon next year there will be a sequel...
False Songstress is 1st half while Farewell of Wings is the 2nd half of the retelling of the whole TV series. I'm still in the process of getting False Songstress. Talking about epic, Gundam Unicorn can certainly give any anime a run for it's money. It's basically 80's style with 21st Century implementation and attention to detail, and the music is very epic too. And a lot of people died. And a lot of explosions happened. And a lot of people will die. And a lot of explosions will happen. Again.
I've watched some of it. I need to finish it. Yeah, it's a good anime. Glad to see more is going to be added to it.
Sales has nothing to do with being epic though, unless you took the idiom quite literally, I was not pointing out to any sales advantages. Did Evangelion's second movie start with explosions and thousands dead?
Does it need?? But it reached new levels of epicness destroying every single eva and half destroying tokyo 3...
that sounds just as sally as bleach or naruto. shame that it all goes to waste on action instead of story. Ill let you keep your park bench grenade. im not too intrested.
Wow, after the latest Star Driver ep, a Fullmetal Alchemist movie has been formally announced (with a sneak preview), due next year.
The state of anime in Japan is just fine. No problems to speak of. One studio was lost, but that was mostly their own fault. Why John? He has watch more anime than anyone I know, has over 25 years of anime watching experience, and has/currently works in the industry as a news reporter. It has been his job for well of 15 years to know everything about anime. Thats why. He is also humble enough to not call himself an authority on the subject. He prefers a more informed than most, avid fan as a title.
Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt's latest ep brings up an interesting situation. Transformers, the animated series, is usually considered by "anti-anime" Americans as the bastion of American cartoon might against their fight against "Japanese-loving anime children" which they continually bash and consider as "should be deported to Japan for all the good they bring here." Random Curiosity, in it's analysis of the latest P&Sw/G ep which parodied Transformers, delved further on it. -The 80s-90s animated series was animated by a Japanese studio. -Hasbro is the current holder of the Transformers IP for toys; they got it from a Japanese toy company. LOLOLOLOL
I have dedicated some time to the tranformers cause, i always had the same doubt and i reached the conclusion that it was mostly japanese by investigating...
Family Guy and American Dad are animated by a South Korean studio too. Regarding the Macross Frontier movie: re-telling of the (1st half) series with less emphasis on other events and more on the singing, the Vajra and the fighting (obviously). Too much CGI though.

Canal Mills, the imposing 19th century, textile mill will reopen as Leeds' most innovative new multi-arts and music venue this Autumn. Masterminded by Leeds-based events company Sound Channel, Canal Mills will showcase an array of electronic music events, live gigs, art exhibitions, theatrical projects and film screenings. Situated adjacent to the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, the venue sits on the outskirts of the city centre and was originally one of the cities leading textile mills during the industrial boom of the 19th century. In celebration of the venue's illustrious history, Sound Channel are exploring an eclectic roster of music, visual arts, theatre and film talent from across the UK who will be showcasing their existing work alongside new pieces that are inspired by the building's industrial heritage.
The Canal Mills opening weekend kicks off on Friday, 28th September 2012 when the venue will welcome acclaimed DJ's Simian Mobile Disco, Julio Bashmore, Tensnake and The 2 Bears. On Saturday, 29th September, Metropolis presents the Skreamizm tour, which is headed up by BBC Radio One DJ Skream. The opening weekend will also include an unrivalled programme from the city's most respected promoters and arts collectives.
Both nights will be a memorable introduction to the mainstay venue in Leeds. A series of installations will provide a backdrop to the venue's events, inspired by its history as a textile mill, courtesy of aesthetic construction team Mad Ferret. The venue will partner with time honoured electronic club nights Wax:On and Metropolis, along with other esteemed labels, attracting culture vultures both locally and across the UK to this phenomenal new space.
London-based, illustration-focused collective Technicolour Moon are set to link up with the new venue to create an outside wall mural, alongside an exhibition of their work, which will mark the start of a series of similar projects. Canal Mills will work with local and emerging art connoisseurs to open up doors for students and other rising artists.

Topic: Soda pop/fizzy drink
I have become interested in the methods for lacto-fermenting, using old traditional (no hops) brewing but adapted to modern situations. I made several lacto-fermentation tests. They all came out varying degrees of fine after varying amounts of time.
I would suggest to anyone interested in lacto-fermenting beverages do the following:
Make a cup of tea and add 2 Tablespoons of sugar. Stir until dissolved. (If you make kombucha, use your sweetened tea. If you are an herbalist, add any herbs from your garden that you like.)
Mix the tea with an ale starter and a lacto-fermenting starter. If you make kefir, the simplest way to do this is to mix it with some kefir whey. If you don't have kefir, make some whey from some yogurt by putting yogurt in a clean cotton flannel bag (like a jelly bag) or 4 layers of cheesecloth/muslin and let it drip overnight. Take the yogurt whey and mix it with a little ale starter and add this to the sweetened tea. I have also used plain yogurt whey with no ale starter and it fermented the brew but it took a lot longer. I don't know if the entire fermentation was from the lacto-bacteria or if there was some yeast contamination in the bottle. But the end product was OK.
Next, put the liquid in in a clean plastic soda (pop/fizzy drink) bottle and
screw the cap on tight. Set it in a warm place and wait. When you can't squeeze the bottle, it is ready to drink.
After you drink it, you can make your own adjustments to taste for your next batch. If you want it sweeter, add more sugar, for a beer-ier taste, add malt extract to the sugar. For more alcohol -- and you can make a fairly potent tipple here to almost the amount of alcohol in commercial wine -- see my page on adjusting alcohol. If you want more flavors, add some more herbs and spices to the tea next time. Whatever you have in your kitchen and garden will probably do because they are what you like best.
Some observations:
Kefir whey carbonated sweet tea in 3 days; yogurt whey took about 7 days.
Using leftover beverage as a starter for the next bottle works fine, but I suspect it is mostly a yeast ferment. I don't know if there is a way to keep the lacto-bacteria in balance or I will just have to use new whey every batch. Of course, the yeast-heavy brew tastes just fine, too.
I also have some brew started using sauerkraut/kimchi liquid that was started with whey (and thus didn't need salt). I don't know if it was kefir or yogurt whey. I'll have to start paying attention. The brew seems to be coming along no problem.
Adding a teaspoon of malt extract to the sweetened tea adds an extra layer of creaminess to the final product.
Adding extra sugar or malt and not screwing the cap on tightly but letting off gas (burping) for 2 or 3 days before setting cap on tight would increase the amount of alcohol in the drink.
The only real purpose of fermenting it first in a vented carboy would be to increase the amount of alcohol in it, and if you fermented it in a unvented carboy (to begin carbonation immediately) you run the risk of the carboy exploding (why I always carbonate in plastic).

I feel that this particular doll is bad for my daughter's body image because it glorifies anorexic young girls, which is documented as being one of the most serious health problems for teen and preteen girls. She was a gift and I returned her the second I saw her emaciated face and disproportional body. I believe this look was called "Duck Face" on FB, where the girls sucked in their cheeks and pushed out their lips in an attempt to look more beautiful. This glorifies anorexia and I think its sick. All the dolls in this line look like starving orphans from a third world country

Made the same as all MH dolls. This one is very pretty. My daughter loved that her feet are clear. It gives the illusion that she is disappearing. This is a great addition to the collection.
Purchase price was very reasonable

I thought that the price of the item that I purchased was acceptable compared to other stores. I would recommend the Mattel site when looking to buy Monster High dolls for price comparison before purchasing anywhere else.

Color Not as Advertised
By LPTL50
from Casper, WY
One of the reasons I wanted to own this doll was the beautiful hair color. The photo shows a gorgeous Tanzanite purple, just as the original doll in the series had. When the doll arrived I was very disappointed to see that both her hair and her clothing are more of a plum color - not at all as pictured. I was also surprised that Mattel used a fused plastic chain as decoration on her outfit instead of metal chain link. It's not a big deal, but it does make the doll look cheaper. All in all, I love the Monster High dolls in general. The details of their clothing is fantastic, particularly their brilliantly designed shoes. I am always impressed with how many variations of "monsters" the creators come up with and anticipate looking for their new dolls. I also appreciate the concept of tolerance toward others that the dolls promote.

Washington – Business Roundtable (BRT) today named Elizabeth Gasster as Vice President of Information & Technology and Regulatory Reform. In this role she will oversee all BRT policy initiatives in the information and technology and regulatory reform areas, helping to shape and advance BRT member companies' priorities. She joins BRT most recently from Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), where she served as Senior Policy Counselor for the past five years. Gasster also brings nearly three decades of experience working in senior legal and policy roles at AT&T.
"Liz Gasster brings extensive knowledge to the position from her nearly 20 years of experience in the Internet, technology, public policy and legal fields," said BRT President John Engler. "She is precisely the right person to help lead BRT policy initiatives in the information and technology, and regulatory areas."
Prior to ICANN, Gasster served in a variety of senior roles during her 27 years at AT&T, including Public Policy Director, Senior Attorney and Director of Federal Government Affairs. During that time, she was also the staff chair of BRT's Security Task Force when the CEO of AT&T led Business Roundtable's Security Task Force.
While at AT&T, Gasster also served as President of the Internet Commerce Coalition, a group of Internet communications companies working toward a predictable legal environment to grow the Internet and e-commerce; represented the company in Geneva during the 1996 World Intellectual Property negotiations; and served as a top liaison between the company and legislative and executive branch officials, the National Security Telecommunications Advisory Council, and other Fortune 200 CEOs.
Gasster also spent eight months as General Counsel and then Acting Executive Director for the Cyber Security Industry Alliance (CSIA), where she developed and executed the group's cyber security agenda and worked with Congress to ratify the Council of Europe Cybercrime Convention.
For BRT, Gasster will oversee a variety of policy and regulatory initiatives as they relate to cyber security and the Internet, permitting, energy production, health care coverage, labor, transportation and transparency, among other issues. She will work closely with BRT membership and the legislative and executive branches.
Gasster earned a bachelor's degree from The George Washington University and Juris Doctor from The American University Washington College of Law.

HEY developers and s......I found a exploit in "need for speed:underground rivals".........I ran the "lumines" exploit on the game, it loaded smoothly , and my profile was loaded(but it said 0% complete and had no stats). there was no problem with the loading at all.....but at first when i hex-edited the .SFO file to allow the game to load, it said it was corrupt and froze......then I just placed the .DATA file in the gamesave folder with no configuration to any files.....it loaded and played smoothly.... I exited the game and it didn't say "3.10-hen" or "3.50-hen" as I thought it wouldn't... and didn't play the downgraders or or apps in the game folders.
I hope this is will be good (cuz i can't currently afford "lumines" because i'm short on cash and because it would be something I found(i never find anything like exploits and hacks I need this LOLz))

The Faded Line Lyrics by Lamb of God
Accusations and denial.
Hopeless... demon of another day
Colorless... stoned, solid grey
Emptiness... of promises I made
So faithless... the tenants long betrayed.
Walk the faded line, cursed crawl of time
Silence, the only promise ever kept.
Familiar touch, a ritual to numb the cut
Salvation in vice
Anguish is realizing what could have been, but never was
It's emptiness that fills the cup
Devotion in the method of my fall.
Pointless...futility continuing
Endless…flowing corrupted vein.
Walk the faded Line, cursed crawl of time (x2)
Silence the only promise ever kept
It's fucking hopeless

Savile Row icons Gieves & Hawkes are one of the first luxury goods brands to announce a partnership with Woolmark Gold.
SHANGHAI, Sept. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Launched in China in 2011 by Australian Wool Innovation (AWI), owners of The Woolmark Company, Woolmark Gold sets a global benchmark for fine tailoring, a standard shared by Gieves & Hawkes, a company that has prided itself on uncompromising standards of both material and manufacture for more than 200 years.
Just 10 years after they opened their first store in Shanghai, mainland China, Gieves & Hawkes now have more than 100 premises, and plan to open more in the coming years to cater to China's ever-expanding – and increasingly discerning - luxury goods market.
Gieves & Hawkes Managing Director Ray Clacher describes the affiliation with Woolmark Gold as a natural fit. "Our company has a longstanding tradition of craftsmanship, selecting only the finest fabrics available in the world. The Chinese consumer demands the real thing and Woolmark Gold gives us a genuine seal of approval."
A cloth or fabric must meet strict criteria to qualify for Woolmark Gold status. First it must be made from only new Australian Merino wool with a fibre width of 19.5 microns or less (that's 43% finer than human hair). Then it must have been woven or spun by one of a select group of just 12 British and European Woolmark Gold-accredited weavers and spinners, some of whom have been owned and operated by the same families for centuries.
Gieves & Hawkes will celebrate the union through aspirational global content including a co-branded film recently shot by Oscar-nominated British director, Mike Figgis, alongside dedicated window displays and staff training across the region.
The Woolmark Company Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer, Rob Langtry said: "The market for luxury apparel in China has been expanding rapidly and consumers are looking for true quality at this level of the market. Working with our European partners, the Woolmark Gold program combines the superb qualities of 100 per cent natural Australian Merino wool with the historical skills of weaving exceptional cloth. Gieves & Hawkes are a highly valued new partner. Their Savile Row heritage, unique design and finish skills and excellent customer service make this a very attractive partnership for China consumers who are discerning in their taste and investment in quality. As the Woolmark Gold program expands, we expect Gieves & Hawkes to set the 'gold standard' for a unique and valuable customer experience."
Inspired by the Gieves & Hawkes initiative, a number of other leading luxury brands and retailers are understood to be already in negotiations to make Woolmark Gold an integral part of their Chinese offering.

Stephen from Northallerton
United Kingdom
Check-in date:
Good sized room, but showing signs of wear. Really bad rotten eggs smell from the bathroom on the final evening.
Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast room futuristic.
Good connection to city centre by tram.
" Top Tip: Good value restauants to west of river near tram stop. far cheaper than in the city centre.
Christine from Solihull
United Kingdom
Check-in date:
Hotel was modern in architecture but needed refurbishment in some areas, eg TV's. Breakfast was a slight issue as they had too many people for the room, it was difficult to find somewhere to sit and they always ran out of knives. They also ran out of cups, breakfast t-bags, white bread etc. There was never a morning when you could actually have what you wanted.
Light switches were dodgy - I slept with the bathroom light on as the switch wouldn't work.
Room locks were inconsistent - one room was difficult to open, the other opened on its own in the night - I slept with a chair against the door.
" Top Tip: Best pizzeria - La Vittoria
Janice B from Swansea
United Kingdom
Check-in date:
" cannot fault this hotel nor the staff. It was very clean and the bedrooms spacious. The breakfast offered a good choice for all. The reception staff were extremely helpful and had tram and bus tickets available. The only downside, having never visited Rome before, was the distance from the city centre. It involved a tram ride each day, which was no hassle, however, if I visited again I would be tempted to book a hotel in the centre which offered good hotels and was within walking distance of many attractions. If you wanted a quiet hotel this is the one for you. Slightly off the beaten track, that was its only downfall.
Top Tip:
tram into the centre was only a short walk away and you could get off at any stop along the way, continuing your journey into the centre at your leisure.
Small shop nearby selling all the things you might need ie fruit drinks, to keep in your hotel fridge.
Calum from Steyning

Shannon R., SELF magazine
Moisturizer...makeup...sunscreen...serums...there are so many products to put on your face that it can be really confusing to figure out what should go on top of what. The general rule is to apply them from thinnest to thickest. The exception: sunscreen.
- If you use a product containing physical sunscreen ingredients (like titanium dioxide or zinc oxide), then order doesn't matter. They'll work just the same whether you apply them first or last or in the middle.
Related: 20 Superfoods for Weight Loss
- If you use a product with chemical sunscreen ingredients (like oxycinnamate), then apply your sunscreen first. That's because some lotions can inhibit the way sunscreens spread on the skin and actually impact the SPF rating. Basically, if you apply chemical sunscreens after your moisturizer, you may not be getting the protection you need.
Related: Your Get Slim For Summer Plan!
- Wait a few minutes before putting anything on top of your sunscreen. This gives the sunscreen time to soak in and minimizes the chance for negative interaction. My trick: I wash my face, apply sunscreen, and then do the rest of my beauty business. Then I apply moisturizer and makeup.
- To save time and confusion, use a moisturizer that contains sunscreen (minimum SPF 30). These products have been tested the same way as sunscreens, so the SPF rating is accurate and you don't have to worry about product interaction. Just be sure to apply liberally, a few dabs on your dry patches won't give you the protection you need.
Related: Yoga Moves for Flat Abs
Bottom Line
Apply sunscreen before the rest of your skincare products. Even easier: use a moisturizer that has the sunscreen built-in.

It was Art's cousin, Renee that shared the recipe with us after she brought it to a family pot luck. We fell in love with it. It was a big hit in California too.
Here is the recipe Renee gave me:
Salad:1 package buckwheat noodles(yama imo soba 8.75 oz.), eg., Ishiguro brand½ pound ocean salad (seaweed)½ Maui onion or sweet onion, thinly sliced½ pound imitation crab, shredded1 package baby spinach leaves (6 oz.) or 1 bunch spinachor watercress1 tomato, thinly slicedBreak soba noodles in half before cooking. Cook soba as directed on package. Drain well. Place soba on large platter or in 9 X 5 X 13 pan. Top with ocean salad, sliced onions, imitation crab, spinach, and tomatoes in that order.Dressing:½ cup sugar½ to 1 teaspoon black pepper2 teaspoons salt1/3 cup Japanese vinegar½ cup or less vegetable oil1 Tablespoon sesame oil2 to 3 teaspoons lemon juice (about ½ lemon)Mix well until sugar is dissolved. It will dissolve better if you leave it in room temperature for a while before refrigerating it. Pour over salad before serving.
I don't usually add the onions, just because we're not great fans of raw onions. I also put the full teaspoon of black pepper for the kick. The California Meyer lemons were too sweet for this recipe. In this case, our more sour Hawaii lemons work better.
I don't layer much except to put the imitation crab and tomatoes at the top. I usually add green or red leaf lettuce to the mix just because I always like to put a lot of variety in my salads not to mention red peppers and maybe cucumbers.
If you'd rather not make the dressing yourself (which you need to be careful how much you put on the salad because it's quite strong) I found that these two dressings could work well too.
Our daughter, Tiffany gets the Hendrickson's Dressing at the Jewel store in Illinois. We buy the Feast from the East Sesame Dressing at Costco in Hawaii.
I love getting these little recipe gems at pot lucks. Thanks, Renee!

I have been creating handmade stoneware and porcelain utilitarian ware and sculpture in my Montague studio since 2001. Located in the beautiful Pioneer Valley, surrounded by the Connecticut and Deerfield Rivers, the rolling hills of Western Massachusetts is a wonderful place, rich in heritage and tradition to find inspiration for my work.
The clay I work from is individually crafted on the potter's wheel, hand built, or cast in molds of my own design, bringing out the unique personality of each mug, plate, bowl or jar. My water fountains, set in an entrance way or garden, can bring the relaxing sounds of water into your home, lending charm and elegance to your personal space.
For celebrating special occasions with friends and family, or a unique gift for a wedding, anniversary or birth, the one-of-a-kind work of Good Dirt Pottery is a piece of New England that fits in a country home or city dwelling.
From my hands to your home, the creative journey will continue with you. Whether it's the quiet presence of a handmade vase created in collaboration with earth and fire, the comfort of the day-to-day ritual of reaching for that certain mug to start your morning with, I hope you will find that the pleasure and affordability of handmade ceramic fits your personal style and traditions.
Enjoy your visit.

let's start small and see. if it get's bigger there is always the possibility to externalize the listbodies into files, which are named like the host or such.

CHAP. I.THE TOUR.In the eleventh year of the reign of Abd-ul Hamid, son of Ahmed, emperor of the Turks; when the Nogaian Tartars were driven from the Crimea, and a Mussulman prince, of the blood of Gengis Khan, became the vassal and guard of a woman, a Christian, and a queen*[ ] ; I journeyed in the empire of the Ottomans, and traversed the provinces which formerly were kingdoms of Egypt and of Syria. Directing all my attention to what concerns the happiness of mankind in a state of society, I entered cities, and studied the manners of their inhabitants; I gained admission into palaces, and observed the conduct of those who govern; I wandered over the country, and examined the condition of the peasants: and no where perceiving aught but robbery and devastation, tyranny and wretchedness, my heart was oppressed with sorrow and indignation. Every day I found in my route fields abandoned by the plough, villages deserted, and cities in ruins. Frequently I met with antiquemonuments; wrecks of temples, palaces, and fortifications; pillars, aqueducts, sepulchres. By these objects my thoughts were directed to past ages, and my mind absorbed in serious and profound meditation. Arrived at Hamsa on the borders of the Orontes, and being at no great distance from the city of Palmyra, situated in the desert, I resolved to examine for myself its boasted monuments. After three days travel in barren solitude, and having passed through a valley filled with grottoes and tombs, my eyes were suddenly struck, on leaving this valley and entering a plain, with a most astonishing scene of ruins. It consisted of a countless multitude of superb columns standing erect, and which, like the avenues of our parks, extended in regular files farther than the eye could reach. Among these columns magnificent edifices were observable, some entire, others in a state half demolished. The ground was covered on all sides with fragments of similar buildings, cornices, capitals, shafts, entablatures, and pilasters, all constructed of a marble of admirable whiteness and exquisite workmanship. After a walk of three quarters of an hour along these ruins, I entered the inclosure of a vast edifice which had formerly been a temple dedicated to the sun; and I accepted the hospitality of some poor Arabian peasants, who had established their huts in the very area of the temple. Here I resolved for some days to remain, that I might contemplate, at leisure, the beauty of so many stupendous works. Every day I visited some of the monuments which covered the plain; and one evening that, my mind lost in reflection, I had advanced as far as the Valley of Sepulchres, I ascended the heights that bound it, and from which the eye commands at once the whole of the ruins and the immensity of the desert. . . . The sun had just sunk below the horizon; a streak of red still marked the place of his descent, behind the distant mountains of Syria: the full moon, appearing with brightness upon a ground of deep blue, rose in the east from the smooth bank of the Euphrates: the sky was unclouded; the air calm and serene; the expiring light of day served to soften the horror of approaching darkness; the refreshing breeze of the night gratefully relieved the intolerable sultriness of the day that had preceded it; the shepherds had led the camels to their stalls; the grey firmament bounded the silent landscape; through the whole desert every thing was marked with stillness, undisturbed but by the mournful cries of the bird of night, and of some chacals* . . . . The dusk increased, and already I could distinguish nothing more than the pale phantoms of walls and columns. . . . The solitariness of the situation, the serenity of evening, and the grandeur of the scene, impressed my mind with religious thoughtfulness. The view of an illustrious city deserted, the remembrance of past times, their comparison with the present state of things, all combined to raise my heart to a strain of sublime meditations. I sat down on the base of a column; and there, my elbow on my knee, and my head resting on my hand, sometimes turning my eyes towards the desert, and sometimes fixing them on the ruins, I sell into a profound reverie. [* ]That is to say, in the year 1784. The reader is requested not to lose sight of this epocha. See the notes at the end of the volume. [* ]An animal considerably like the fox, but less cunning, and of a frightful aspect. It lives upon dead bodies, and rocks and ruins are the places of its habitation. [Page 1. (*)]Eleventh year of Abd-ul Hâmid. That is, 1784 of the Christion æra, and 1198 of the Hegira. The emigration of the Tartars took place in March, immediately on the manifesto of the empress declaring the Crimea to be incorporated with Russia. . . . A Mussulman prince of the name of Gengis Khan. It was Châhin Guerai. Gengis Khan was borne and served by the kings whom he conquered: Châhin, on the contrary, after selling his country for a pension of eighty thousand roubles, accepted the commission of captain of guards to Catherine II. He afterwards returned home, and, according to custom was strangled by the Turks. |

Huge week in fundraising for the crowdsourcing space!
Well, it's official. Crowdsourcing is hot. Again. Three very large deals in the space announced last week have drawn significant and renewed attention to the space:
Gigwalks raised $6MM from some heavy hitters: August Capital, Greylock & Microsoft
InfoArmy raised $17MM from Norwest and Trinity - this is a massive round!
CrowdSource raised $12.5MM from Highland in a Series A (!!!).
While we wholeheartedly support our brethren, we can't help but daydream about what Ziptask can do with even a fraction of that money.
Way to go guys! - As a cohort, each of us in our own way is changing the way people work, and get paid for their work, and reshaping the workforce of the future.
