Winter 2013 VFX Movie Preview
In the coming months, cinemas will play host to a variety of star-crossed lovers in exotic, VFX-laden locations. Here's a run-down of some of the culprits competing for your bucks at the box office.
Feb 8th – The Sorcerer and the White Snake
Some sixteen months after it first debuted at the 2011 Venice Film Festival, this romantic fantasy based on Chinese folklore is finally making its way to North American audiences. Directed by Hong Kong legend Tony Ching, Snake tells the story of two demon snake sisters (one white, the other green) who become human and fall for mortal men. This puts them directly at odds with demon-hunting sorcerer/monk Abott Fahai, played by a leaping Jet Li. The Wushu champion-turned action star called the shoot one of the most physically exhausting of his career. Reviewers, meanwhile, have criticized the picture for being visually exhausting, in spite of its nominations for Best Visual Effects and Best Action Choreography at the 2012 Hong Kong Film Awards. Decide for yourself whether this world of snake demons, ice harpies and bat men is enchanting or overkill when the picture hits theatres this Friday.
Feb 14th – Beautiful Creatures
Twilight may be behind us, but here to fill the void is Beautiful Creatures, the first in what's sure to be a series of adaptations of Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl's Caster Chronicles. This supernatural romance focuses on fifteen-year-old Lena Duchannes (Alice Englert) whose secret powers and spell-casting relatives will lead her either towards the Light or the Darkness on her next birthday. Naturally, she finds herself drawn to a boy at school named Ethan (Alden Ehrenreich) whom she realizes has a role to play in her fate. Effects houses Pixomondo, Scanline VFX, Method Studios and Pixel Magic are sharing the challenge of bringing all the hocus pocus to life on the big screen, though it's worth noting that effects like the spinning dining room table were achieved on-set, the old fashioned way. Here's hoping the actors skipped lunch before shooting that scene.
Feb 14th – A Good Day to Die Hard
This latest installment in the on-going saga of John McClane may already be screening overseas, but the rest of us will have to wait until Valentine's Day before we can say "Yippee Ki-Yay." Day sees Bruce Willis' smart-mouthed cop travel to Russia to reunite with his equally adventurous son Jack now that he's all grown up and working for the CIA. Once again, Pixomondo and Method Studios are teaming up, along with Shade VFX and Screen Scene, to handle the visual effects. Director John Moore, however, states those will be limited, as most of the explosive action was captured on-camera. In other words, yes: they really did blow up all those beautiful Mercedes autos.
March 1st – Jack the Giant Slayer
As one might expect, it takes a lot of digital work to create an army of Giants descending from a kingdom high above the clouds. To accomplish this, Bryan Singer engaged the help of The Moving Picture Company, The Third Floor, Digital Domain, Rodeo FX and Soho VFX. His take on the tale of Jack and the Beanstalk makes considerable use of motion capture performances, which were lined-up in-camera during shooting using a process called Simul-Cam, previously employed in the making of James Cameron's Avatar. Regardless of how good the tall guys end up looking, this one is worth checking out purely to see three veterans of fantasy films acting alongside one another: Warwick Davis (Willow), Ewan McGregor (Star Wars) and Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: First Class).
March 8th – Oz, The Great and Powerful
For the first time since the lukewarm reception of 1985's Return to Oz, Disney is stepping back into L. Frank Baum's world of yellow-brick roads and sparring witches. Instead of Will Vinton's claymation nomes, however, audiences will be seeing digital effects courtesy of Evil Eye Pictures, Luma Pictures, Sony Pictures Imageworks and The Third Floor. This 200 million dollar picture was shot with 3D cameras and uses a mix of green screen and practical sets to realize locations as diverse as the Emerald City and Quadling Country. Of all the wonders glimpsed in the trailer, however, none seems as striking as the China Doll character, who was physically present on-set in the form of a puppet. Here's hoping James Franco, Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams and company handle her with care.

I recoment Dong Duong Indochine, 685 Hai Ba Trung St. They used to be called another name Dao Nguyen Ky Ky. They have moved and have changed their name.
The quality is amazing, along with the service. I had read recomendations for this place online and was planning on checking it out for myself, and then my moto drive also recommended.
In the end I got 5 dresses, 2 suit jackets, 5 suit pants, 5 suit skirts, 2 wool blazers, and 2 winter coats made, along with some dress shirts.
They pay great attention to detail and will do everything the way you want. I had brought in pictures that I had printed off the internet and they matched theme expertly!
Every one there is so friendly and helpful! I stand behind them and plan to order more clothes through them in the future!#3 Posted: 1/11/2006 - 14:37

We are going there next month and want to get some clothes made but we will only have time to stay for a few days. Will this be enough time?
How long did it take to have all of the things made that you listed in your message?
Thanks#4 Posted: 1/11/2006 - 21:53

You need a minimum of three days from ordering to completion.
One person said of Yaly's Fashions, Hoi An, "We also had clothes made at Yaly. Clothes here were good as well . They are probably better for evening or something a bit unusual as they have a flair for getting the cut right on silky light material. A lot of the designs are on show in their shops and they will make these to fit. But they take two or even three fittings to get garments fitting properly."#5 Posted: 10/11/2006 - 02:06

13 Best Makeup Tools
Readers have only good things to say about these brushes, tweezers and other makeup tools
Why: Readers claim this tool, "does the trick" to "separate virtually every lash" and "amp up your lashes" while keeping them looking "natural and clump free." Readers say the metal comb "really works on separating your lashes much better than its plastic counterparts." One reader also loves how it "tames" her eyebrows, and another raves, "The shape is great, the metal lash end is SO good, the traditional end for brows is great, and it fits so well in your hand."

I'm still building up my brush collection as budget and usage dictates, but it's good to have this list the next time I shop for one.

I wonder which is the better eyelash curler of the ones they showed.

Good tools, but I would like to see Eco here, as well as Beautyblender sponges. Also think a lip brush is essential for a perfect pout.

Eco tools are also good.

I love eyes lips face and their brushes but the dollar brushes seem to fall apart on me... not the bristles but the handle part. It is still useable but drives me a bit crazy.

The Shu Uemura eyelash curler is amazing! I am very sad that they don't have a store anymore.

(Draft beginning of another chapter)
"Yellow represents hopefulness." said brother Yi Chien's art teacher, Mr Lai.
I remember that hot summer's afternoon in my brother's room, where he was having his weekly water colour lesson. I never sat in on these sessions but that day, bored with whatever I'd been doing, or perhaps it was the lack of anything to do, I'd strolled in. Besides, it was stifling in the August heat and they had the air conditioning on, which Mah Mah only allowed when guests were visiting.
They were painting skies. Before I knew it, I'd sat down at the other end of the long wooden table and immediately commandeered Mr. Lai's lusty attentions. The man, we retrospectively learnt, only thinly disguised his propensity for young ingénue females, claiming artistic license for his lascivity. My brother was obviously annoyed with my intrusion, but rumbled only under the surface. One has to watch out for silent but fuming volcanoes; they're the ones, when they erupt, spew venomous missiles from the deep belly of the earth for absolute miles, wreaking untold carnage.
I'd only watched for five minutes before I'd declared some statement of judgement or other, as I always did where younger siblings were concerned. I knew full well that my brother wouldn't dare show any bad behaviour before a teacher he wished to impress. He was caught between a rock of ingratiation and the hard place that was his older sister's typical disdain.
I watched, fascinated, how with utmost care Yi Chien had doused his art paper with a copious covering of water from the old Robertson's jam jar. Then with a feathery dab, the slightest dot of Cyanine Blue was introduced to the wet canvas. And at that merest touch, the colour oozed across the expanse and magically became sky and fluffy clouds in that one stroke.
It was then that Mr Lai deftly added his masterful hint of Saharan Yellow, because no real sky was anything less than half a dozen muted, subtle other tones.
"Yellow, I'll have you know, is the colour for Hopefulness!"
He paused for maximum effect, to let this wisdom sink in, Yi Chien obsequiously assenting with a smug little nod as if he knew all about these artists' secret colour codes. I was just miffed. Why yellow? While I was still pondering how to challenge this, Mr Lai took another small sample square of art paper and dotted it with water, then deftly delivered a smear of Geranium Red.
"Red skies denote Passion!" he declared, giving me a hot, meaningful glance, but only for a second, before he incriminated himself. He continued on a third snatch of paper.
"And blue is for Purity."
With that, he bore into me, his lasciviousness now so openly obvious and unflinching that I blushed, despite myself. I looked quickly down at the piece of art paper that I'd been given to experiment with, and started to jab bluntly at it with any colour I could get off the palette.
"Ah you like rainbows I see; ambitious!"
He started to hover closer and closer behind me, threatening to take my hand to guide the strokes. I could smell the not too faint whiff of his eau de cologne mingled with sweat, and bristled. I stood up abruptly and only just managed not to smack him full in the face with my sudden motion.
"I've got other homework to finish." I said, and left the room quickly.
I thought the man slumped ever so slightly with disappointment; but I was quite certain I heard a stifled snigger from Yi Chien as I shut the door firmly behind me.
Once outside, the sultry warmth of the day immediately clamped about my face as though a plastic bag had enveloped my head. "Load of pompous rubbish!" I'd thought, a bit hotter under my collar than I'd bargained for the close encounter with Mr Lech. Why is yellow for Hopefulness anyway?
But for some reason, the notion about colours and their secret meanings never left me. Years later, every time I looked at a pale lemony sky, be it early in the morning before the heat of the day had drawn in enough pollution to harden the hues, or at dusk after a long and overcast day, when night threatened to fall like a sudden, heavy curtain over what remained of the light – I would think "There's hope in this yellowy sky…" And whenever I viewed a fiery sunset sky of Vermillion Red, I remembered about the passion, and secretly longed for it to spice up my humdrum life.
Today, I sat in a shiny law firm's reception area, looking out of triple glazed floor-to-ceiling glass windows at the cityscape and the sky beyond. There was hardly any furniture in here, just a modern take on a Chesterfield that I was perched uneasily upon, a sliver of an onyx console table against one wall, with a single freesia lilting at an angle from a white Conran ceramic flute. The black marble beneath my feet was so polished I could see my anxious face reflecting back at me each time I lowered my eyes. They were so slick here, they didn't even bother to pipe out any muzack on a tannoy.
I'd been summoned here to finalise my divorce proceedings. Against my will. There was never really any discussion that the marriage would conclude quite like this, without violence except for that of emotions, but it did draw blood from deep within my soul. It was a unilateral decision from a husband of nearly thirty years. One day all was as usual: he left early for work as always; I did whatever it was that a housewife and mother did in the day; eventually cooked supper, was doing the ironing as he came home, late, as was normal; we ate, in near silence and without the children, who were both out that evening; he retired to bed early as I washed up and shut the house down for the night. The next morning, just as he was dressing, he declared in a calm, flat voice that he would be instructing lawyers when he got back to the office to begin divorce proceedings. He suggested I found myself a solicitor as well, and a few hours into the day he sent an email to remind me to make sure I did that. A few days later, he moved out.
In the next months life dwindled into a single minded routine of emptying out what was a home, until the increasingly soulless rooms reverberated with fewer and fewer memories. Precious photographs and memorabilia were torn off their regular haunts, leaving sun bleached marks like small ghosts on the fading wallpaper. In the place of homely furnishings stood a mounting skyline of movers' boxes, each containing mere 'things'. I had to call them that to detach any feelings they carried with them – I knew every story of every item that we'd bought or somehow acquired together. I knew I had to let that go to survive.
I tried to imagine what this scene in our lives would look like if it was a painting. What colour would there be in the sky of a marriage falling apart? Would there have been ugly blotches of Midnight Black for despair, smudged into deep angry patches of Crimson Lake Red to indicate an exchange of poisonous words? Were there the occasional pious moments of remorse and reconciliation, gently swathed in light shades of Viridian Green?
I looked out through the smoky triple glazing, desperately hunting for a hint of any kind of yellow in the glowering skies: Chrome, Cadmium, Aureolin or Hansa – so I could muster some hope for reprieve. But it was just a glistening day of hot sunshine; everything looked sharp and clear; colourless.
The Suits arrived, clacketing their Manolos and penny loafers smartly along the corridors, emerging suddenly from hidden doors behind which they had been conspiring to murder my marriage. His suits, my suits, and their respective sub-suits, all in black like a mourning party of crows, and all bearing huge files, sly smiles and dead fish-like handshakes. Six or eight of us sitting in an airless, soundproof room full of panelling, coolly dissecting my personal details of marital dysfunction for an obscene amount of money. And passionlessly dividing whatever we had in common straight down the middle, or sort of anyway. I kept expecting someone to burst out from behind the wooden panelling, a clown perhaps, in a Harlequin suit of jewel tones, laughing and exclaiming, "Aha! Gotcha!" and reveal that this nightmare was only a dream afterall, that none of it was really happening. But the wooden walls remained mute and lifeless, like everything else in the room. Several times my hackles and my gall tried to rise, but I kept pushing them down again and again. No it won't do to weep, rant or throw up, I told myself. Mah-Mah wouldn't have borne any loss of dignity, no matter what the circumstances.
"Whoever is at fault, no matter what anyone say to you: you don't show feelings, hah, An Mei? Always show you are strong. People respect you for this." I could hear these oft imprinting words in my ear, and was really glad that my mother was no longer alive to witness this humiliation.
It was over after three gruelling hours. A lifetime of surrendered ambitions and lost dreams, all sown up in a couple of signatures on the bottom line. His chief suit began to congratulate me and faltered at my steely glance of disbelief. I withheld the desire to slap him, merely looked him hard in the eyes, and left wordlessly. But my best shoes were not quite sharp enough to make much of a clatter to register my disapproval. I retreated as fast as I could carry myself out of the premises, before I unravelled into little pieces of sorrow all over their shiny floor.
My insides, surely they were Bile Yellow then.

Cheryl Cole has revealed she has been having saucy dreams about fellow popstsr Rihanna
Cheryl Cole has been having erotic dreams about Rihanna.
The 'Call My Name' singer admitted she has a girl crush on the 'Loud' singer but wouldn't go into detail about her saucy dreams.
When asked by Birmingham's Heart FM breakfast show if she had ever had dreams about a celebrity Cheryl said: "Yeah, Rihanna."
When asked exactly what occurred, she would only say: "We had fun. You know, girly fun."
Meanwhile Cheryl recently spent time in Los Angeles with her latest boyfriend Tre Holloway where she wowed the New York born dancer by cooking him dishes from her native Newcastle.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Cheryl misses home when she's spending long periods of time in L.A. She's been cooking Geordie dishes like homemade stottie cakes with pease pudding, and ham and lentil soup.
"She loves playing housewife and is chuffed Tre's keen to learn about Newcastle and her food. Cheryl said Tre really likes all the hearty dishes and asks her to cook more."
Cheryl was recently injured in a Los Angeles car crash with her manager will.i.am and despite having to wear a sling as a precautionary measure, she has insisted she is fine.

Facility is in need of a major upgrade. I went because I specifically wanted a hotel but was then sent to a nearby apartment, negating any benefit of staying in a hotel. There was no wifi in the apartment, no shampoo, and no mattress pad. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Location near Atocha station and Prado was convenient.

Crews battle 4-alarm fire in Fitchburg
FITCHBURG, Mass. (WHDH) -- Crews battled extreme elements fighting a fire that erupted in an old abandoned apartment building Friday evening.
The flames forced a family next door from their home.
"It's tough to see your life to go up in smoke," said Debbie Lucci, who lost her home.
The pain stung even worse on a bitterly cold night.
"I was out in the cold all day working now I come home and I'm in the cold all night with no place to go," said Lionel Tarbell, a fire victim.
Water turned to ice as Fitchburg firefighters fought to keep the flames from spreading beyond the three-story building where the fire started.
"We could see it from about two miles away in the city," said a firefighter.
When a side wall collapsed, the neighboring house lit up.
"That whole place shot right up in minutes. The whole place was in flames. Then the brick got weak. Fell down landed on my house got my whole roof open and then my house burnt down," Tarbell said.
The three adults who lived there are safe, but for years they've questioned the safety of living next to an abandoned triple-decker.
"There was always somebody in that place all the time," Tarbell said,
Firefighters didn't find anyone in the building, but they're investigating whether someone could have been here when the massive fire broke out.
"It's been vacant for quite some time. It was pretty well secure. No power to the building. No gas so obviously it's a suspicious fire," said Kevin Roy, Fitchburg Fire Chief.
Everyone was able to make it out of the house safely.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- The Florida Legislature is about to open its 2013 session with new leadership.
The loquacious Don Gaetz will presides in the Senate when the 60-day session opens Tuesday and 33-year-old Will Weatherford steps into the biggest test of his political career as speaker of the 120-member House of Representatives.
The pair agree that lawmakers need to focus on important issues like the budget, education, health care, the proposed expansion of Medicaid, property insurance and election reform and not waste time on minor issues.
Republican and Democratic leaders are already questioning some of Gov. Rick Scott's priorities in his $74.2 billion budget proposal, including his push to offer a $2,500 across-the-board pay raise to school teachers and a one-time bonus for state employees.

Are your rivals going to let viewers respond immediately to TV ads on their iPads, while your ads just hope to be remembered?
Second-screening, where consumers use mobile devices while watching TV, presents great opportunities for brands, retailers and financial services, and is on the increase.
Read more...
by Tony Duarte 20 May 2013 10:36am 0 comments
Connected second screen experiences have enjoyed, or arguably suffered, a prolonged period of experimentation. No single slam dunk business model has disrupted the landscape, but there are several approaches that have succeeded in generating additional revenues and enhancing the 30-second TV spot.
Since they are not ubiquitous, you may not be aware of these successes. Here I examine the barriers and opportunities for the connected experience in detail.
This blog elaborates on the latter, with some examples of great connected experiences that have been successfully monetised.
by Tony Duarte 15 April 2013 10:01am 0 comments
Connected experiences which seamlessly fuse second screens and connected TVs have been 'the future of TV' for so long it almost feels like a returning series.
Playing along with a quiz show, requesting a product sample during an advert, taking a breakfast news feature with you on your morning commute so you can finish watching, all could be routine.
But despite the enablers and technology being in place this seismic shift in the viewing experience stubbornly refuses to go mainstream. Why is this?

Wade Bowen
Wade Bowen
Born and raised in Waco, TX, singer/songwriter Wade Bowen started his musical career in the band West 84 with longtime friend Matt Miller. In 2001, after flirting with the idea of life outside of the music business (he graduated from Texas Tech with a public relations degree) Bowen decided to head out on his own, self-releasing his 2002 debut Try Not to Listen and playing up to 250 gigs a year. The hard work eventually paid off as the title track climbed into the Top Ten on the Texas music chart, and the rising star began planning his follow-up. Live at the Blue Light and Lost Hotel arrived in 2006, both of which were released on the Sustain label, and earned him an audience outside of his Texas homeland. Collaborations with Pat Green, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Radney Foster, Randy Rogers, Brandon Rhyder, Bleu Edmondson, and brother-in-law Cody Canada of Cross Canadian Ragweed followed, with a new album If We Ever Make It Home arriving in 2008. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi

text: I looked at a lot of options before buying these shoes, it came down to either these or the La Sportiva Katana's. La Sportiva is tricky for me because I have a wider toe box, and I haven't ever seemed to feel comfortable in Evolvs. When I demo'd these I was pretty impressed - the heel fit and the cambered sole are fantastic for bouldering and technical sport climbing. I use them primarily for these purposes, and a little multi-pitch. The edging is fantastic, the smearing is very good for a downturned shoe, and they provide a feeling of power in the toe area when you're barely able to get a toe in tiny foothold pockets. I personally prefer the Mystique rubber over the Onyx, it seems to provide both sensitivity along with confidence that my foot isn't going to slip. The 5.10 Quantum seems to be a very similar designed shoe but with laces. I do wish they had a little more rubber on the toe, and not to sound petty, but did it have to be bright orange? Other than that they're pretty rad, glad I picked them up.

Master Chief
I get a lot of requests to create different things out of bricks, but easily the most-requested video game character has been Master Chief from the Halo series. Well, here it is video game fans: a bust of Master Chief in all his LEGO glory. I guess building him out of rectangular blocks is a lot like the pixelated version, except I think the resolution is better on the Xbox 360 than in real life.
If you want to watch the time lapse video of me building him (along with me saying foolish things) check out the video on MTV.com.

Shattered Glass director Billy Ray directs Chris Cooper and Ryan Philippe in this fact-based drama concerning the FBI traitor who carried out what many historians refer to as the most notable national security breach in U.S. history. A key member of the FBI's elite Soviet Analytical Unit, Robert Hanssen (Chris Cooper) would, for 15 years beginning in 1985, sell thousands of pages of classified documents to the Soviets. After making roughly 600,000 dollars on his clandestine endeavor and compromising everything from the identities of KGB spies working for the American government to nuclear war contingency plans, Hanssen was eventually transferred to a newly created position at the FBI's Washington headquarters and assigned the task of guarding his country's most sensitive secrets. It was while working in this capacity that a young agent named Eric O'Neill (Phillipe) was assigned the task of keeping tabs on Hanssen by suspicious higher-ups. Later, after being arrested while delivering a cache of secret documents to a "dead drop" spot in a Virginia park, the notorious traitor was arrested and sentenced to life in prison with no chance for parole. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A terminally optimistic working class dreamer attempts to shed a few extra pounds, inspire others, and finally get his driver's license so he can fuel up and set out on the road to success. Tracy (Hubbel Palmer) is a 400 pound grocery clerk who's convinced he's destined for greatness. While he's not taking acting lessons from arrogant washed-up has-been Truman Hope (William Baldwin), Tracy can frequently be found mentoring stolid bag boy Kendis Cooley (Vincent Caso) and his friends despite the disapproval of the gang's bullying boy-leader Shawn (Nick Lashaway). Back at home, Tracy is forced to contend with the religious ramblings of his bible-thumping, self-loathing mother Agnes (Kathleen Quinlan) while simultaneously trying to lift the spirits of his lonely sister Peggy (Mary Lynn Rajskub). Later, as things begin to look up for the love-struck Peggy, Tracy finally begins to sense that true fame is just over the horizon. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Harm's Way
Academy Award-nominee Kathleen Quinlan stars in director Melanie Orr's grim tale of a mother and daughter who seek shelter in a home for abused women, only to discover that the woman in charge harbors a deadly secret. Mavis and Victoria were on the run from an abusive relationship when they wandered into the remote shelter run by matronly mother figure Bea (Quinlan). At first Bea was kind and compassionate, taking young Victoria under her wing as Mavis valiantly battled the demons of her past. But as time wore on Mavis began to sense something strange was happening between her daughter and Bea. Victoria was never a hostile girl, but these days she lashes out at her mother like never before. Upon learning that the women who previously checked into the farmhouse never checked out, Mavis realizes that Bea is attempting to brainwash Victoria into killing her own mother. With little time to spare before Victoria is completely lost, Mavis prepares to do battle with the psychotic Bea and escape from the farm before all hope is lost. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

House: Meaning
Season three of House begins eight weeks after Dr. Greg House (Hugh Laurie) was shot down by the disgruntled husband of a clinic patient. Fresh out of rehab, House no longer needs the cane which has propped him up since the beginning of the series, and thanks to his new Ketamine medication he no longer suffers any pain at all--as proven when we see him jogging to the clinic, where he willingly takes charge of a mute, quadrapegic cancer victim (Edward Edwards) who has driven his wheelchair into a swimming pool. This is not the House we are accustomed to: Where's his anger, his resentment of his patients, his arrogant disdain of his fellow workers? And how long will it be before the pain resumes and House reverts to his usual nasty self? As these questions linger in the air, the clinic staff tends to another victim of paralysis (Claire Kramer), who may have incurred spinal damage in a yoga mishap! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Dead Will Tell
The made-for-TV paranormal thriller The Dead Will Tell was based on a "true" story suggested by famed psychic James Van Praagh, who also shows up in a cameo role. When Emily Parker (Anne Heche) is given a very old engagement ring by her fiancé, Billy (Jonathan LaPaglia), she is suddenly haunted by visions of the woman to whom the ring previously belonged. It soon becomes painfully clear that the spectral woman was murdered, and that she is "reaching out" to Emily in hopes of trapping her killer. Adding extra layers of intrigue to the proceedings is the peculiar behavior of Billy's overprotective mother (Kathleen Quinlan). Other key players in the mystery are portrayed by Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives), Christopher Guest, and, as the widower of the dead woman, Chris Sarandon. Filmed in New Orleans, The Dead Will Tell made its CBS network premiere on October 24, 2004. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Perfect Romance
Tess Gallagher (Kathleen Quinlan) is naturally upset when the husband of her daughter Jenny (Lori Heuring abandons his family--to run off with another man. Before long, however, Tess has gotten over the initial shock, and is industriously mounting a campaign to find a new husband for Tess, and a new father for Tess' wisecracking son Jesse (Lori Heuring). Not altogether with her daughter's blessing, Tess places Jenny's picture and bio on the "Perfect Match" dating website, resulting in proposals (and propositions) from lonely guys all over the world. The most attractive and personable of these internet Romeos is British college professor Peter Campbell (Henry Ian Cusick), who is himself coming off a failed romance--and who, incidentally is years older than Jenny. Howver, the question posed by this made-for-cable movie is not "Can a May-December affair be truly successful?", but rather "For pity's sake, Jenny, when will you wake up notice how your best friend Miles Healey (Michael Trucco) is silently pining away for you????" Perfect Romance debuted over the Lifetime network on June 7, 2004. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Some observers have described the made-for-cable The Riverman as a real-life Silence of the Lambs. Based on the book cowritten by Robert Keppel, formerly chief criminal investigator for the attorney general of Washington state, the film recounts Keppel's efforts to track down serial killer Gary Ridgeway, aka the Green River Killer. With 10 unsolved murders weighing on his mind, Keppel (played by Bruce Greenwood) agrees to a plan whereby an imprisoned mass murderer with a similar M.O. will be brought into the investigation in hopes of second-guessing the killer at large. Thus, Keppel travels to Florida, there to inaugurate a series of chilling interviews with the infamous Ted Bundy (Cary Elwes). Inasmuch as Bundy hopes that by helping track down the Green River Killer he himself will be able to escape the death penalty, Keppel finds himself between the proverbial rock and hard place: How can he secure Bundy's cooperation without making promises he cannot possibly keep? The Riverman was first telecast by the A&E network on September 6, 2004. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Buried under several layers of old-age makeup and outfitted with thick horn-rims and a grey wig, Mary Tyler Moore stars in this TV-movie adaptation of Anna Quindlen's novel Blessings. Moore is cast as octogenarian Lydia Blessing, who lives on a huge country estate, imprisoned by her own bitter memories of the past (depicted in sepia-toned flashbacks, with Janaya Stephens as the young Lydia). The old recluse comes out of her shell briefly to hire a new handyman, sullen ex-convict Skip Cuddy (Liam Waite), who has plenty of his own emotional baggage. When Skip stumbles across an abandoned baby, he sets in motion a series of poignant events that will ultimately return both Lydia and him to the land of the living -- provided that they aren't stopped in their tracks by Lydia's disapproving daughter, Meredith (Kathleen Quinlan), and judgmental housekeeper, Jennifer (China Chow). Filmed on location in Nova Scotia, Blessings first aired October 5, 2003, on CBS. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Too Rich: The Secret Life of Doris Duke
The top-rank performances of Lauren Bacall, Richard Chamberlain and Lindsay Frost elevate the two-part TV biopic Too Rich: The Secret Life of Doris Duke from the usual malaise of lurid, voyeuristic trash. As she lies near death in her luxurious mansion, 80-year-old tobacco heiress Doris Duke (Bacall) hardly seems to take notice of the sinister behavior of her boozing, control-freak butler Bernard Lafferty (Chamberlain). Ultimately, of course, Doris will die (in 1993), and the mysterious circumstances will cast suspicion on the redoubtable Mr. Lafferty (who himself died three years later). Before this happens, however, Doris flashes back to the sordid events of her life, whereupon the title role is taken over by a series of younger actresses, with Frost playing Doris from ages 20 through 50. We see how Doris' future is shaped by her loving, overindulgent father (Joe Don Baker) and her aloof, icy mother (Kathleen Quinlan). Though warned early on that Doris would always have to be wary of fortune hunters, she progresses through a string of highly publicized and largely unhappy romances, and also endures two disastrous marriages. All the familiar players in this real-life drama are in attendance, including writer Louis Bromfield (Brian Dennehy), international playboy Pofirio Rubirosa (Michael Nouri), and Doris' adopted daughter Chanzy (Mare Winningham) who is destined to break Doris' heart time and time again until the grieving millionairess finally worked up the courage to renounce the girl. Also touched upon are Doris' lifelong obsessions, which ranged from mysticism to belly-dancing. Too Rich: The Secret Life of Doris Duke was originally telecast by CBS on February 21 and 22, 1999. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Third-rate talent agent Sammy Kanin (Billy Crystal) is more devoted to his career than his wife Serena (Kathleen Quinlan) and son Nick (Zane Carney), so instead of going to Nick's birthday party, he chooses to travel to Romania where his teen client Justin Allen (Rider Strong) is acting in a period adventure movie. When Sammy's auto swerves off the road, he wakes up in a monastery, having been removed from the wreckage by sensitive, Shakespeare-quoting, 7'7"-tall giant, Max (pro basketball player Gheorghe Muresan), a ward of the monks who works as a monastery caretaker. Sammy sees Max as his ticket to the top, gets him a warrior role in the adventure movie, and takes him back to the U.S. where Max hopes to win back a long-ago girlfriend Lillianna (Joanna Pacula), living in Gallup, New Mexico.

Directed by Schindler's List screenwriter Steve Zaillian, this courtroom drama is based on a true story and non-fiction book by Jonathan Harr. The case revolves around an incident in 1979 in East Woburn, MA, where two drinking wells supplying water to the town were found to be contaminated with industrial solvents. When toxic waste was discovered later that year, suspicions arose that the local factories caused the pollution. The residents felt these companies were responsible for the unusually high rate of leukemia deaths amongst the town's children. Anne Anderson (Kathleen Quinlan), a mother who lost her son Jimmy to leukemia, fronts an effort to bring a lawsuit against the major conglomerates Beatrice Foods and W. R. Grace & Co for their pollution crimes -- a heavy-duty problem, because these companies have the money to squash the less powerful citizens. Enter Jan Schlichtmann (John Travolta), a personal injury lawyer whose small law firm is hired to sue these industrial giants for millions of dollars in damages. He's up against Jerome Facher (Robert Duvall) and William Cheeseman (Bruce Norris), high-priced lawyers who represent the big companies. Most of the film takes place in the courtroom during the trial. It also features William H. Macy as Schlichtmann's accountant and John Lithgow as the judge. ~ Arthur Borman, Rovi

In this suspense thriller, a man discovers the unexpected danger of trusting a good Samaritan. Jeff Taylor (Kurt Russell) and his wife Amy (Kathleen Quinlan) are driving through the New Mexico desert en route to California when an incident with a lunatic driver causes their jeep to break down in the middle of nowhere. Jeff is trying to fix the vehicle when an apparently friendly truck driver, Red Barr (J.T. Walsh), stops by to offer help. Red tells the couple that there's a diner a few miles down the road where they can call for help; Jeff decides to stay with the car while Amy hops a ride with Red to see if she can find a mechanic to help them. After a long wait, Jeff is able to get the jeep running again, and he discovers that the diner is indeed a few miles down the road. But everyone there claims they've seen no sign of Amy, and Red claims to know nothing about picking her up. When Jeff attempts to file a missing person's report, he discovers mysterious disappearances are disturbingly common in this stretch of the desert; he soon realizes that someone has kidnapped his wife, but he's not sure who, or for what purpose. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

In this sci-fi/horror scarefest, Dr. William Weir (Sam Neill) is a scientist who has designed a spacecraft called Event Horizon which will explore the outer reaches of space past the planet Neptune; the ship employs a special transport mechanism that, in effect, creates a black hole that the ship can pass through, allowing it to travel tremendous distances in a few seconds. The Event Horizon mysteriously disappears in the midst of a mission with no trace of either the ship or its crew, but it reappears in Neptune's orbit after a seven year absence and it's sending out a distress signal. The spaceship Lewis and Clark, and Dr. Weir, are sent to investigate; the crew -- Captain Miller (Laurence Fishburne), pilot Smith (Sean Pertwee), engineer Justin (Jack Noseworthy), navigator Starck (Joely Richardson), physician D.J. (Jason Isaacs), and emergency technicians Peters (Kathleen Quinlan) and Cooper (Richard T. Jones) -- are already tired and unenthusiastic about this assignment, and somewhat confused by Weir's reports. The crew of the Lewis and Clark are convinced that Weir is not telling them something, and when they discover the Event Horizon, they find that things are not what they seem, and an evil presence has taken over the ship. Incidentally, the term "event horizon" describes the outer boundaries of a black hole. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A young girl finds friendship on the wrong side of the career tracks in this drama. Camelot Gardens is a "gated community" where wealthy people can purchase luxurious (if sterile) homes and a security force ensures that riffraff will be kept away from your door after nightfall. The Stockard family are new arrivals at Camelot Gardens; father Morton (Christopher McDonald) is a businessman who wants to go into politics, while mother Clare (Kathleen Quinlan) busies herself with affairs with younger men. Neither seems to have much time for their 10-year-old daughter Devon (Mischa Barton), who doesn't care for children her own age; Devon's uncle likes to entertain her with stories about a witch named Baba Yaga who lives in the forest, so one day she wanders into the nearby woods looking for Baba. Instead, she finds a trailer that's home to Trent (Sam Rockwell), a 20-something free spirit who scrapes together a living by mowing the lawns of Camelot Gardens. Devon and Trent both have physical and emotional scars to deal with, and they soon become friends and confidantes; however, Devon's parents become upset when they learn that their daughter's best friend is a grown man, particularly one who lives in a trailer and does lawn maintenance for a living.

Based on Tim O'Brien's novel, In the Lake of the Woods is the story of a man driven by demons from his past and a mystery surrounding the disappearance of his wife. John Waylan (Peter Strauss), a candidate for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota, is leading in pre-election polls when a reporter for a Minneapolis newspaper breaks a story about Waylan's involvement in a massacre of civilians while he was a soldier in Vietnam. Waylan loses the election and retreats with his wife, Kathy (Kathleen Quinlan), to a luxurious lakeside cabin owned by friends, where he broods over the past -- not just his tour of duty in Vietnam, but also his troubled childhood, marked by conflict with an abusive, alcoholic father. When Kathy goes missing, John goes to the local authorities, who mount a search for her and a missing boat while Waylan continues to brood over his shattered life. The story is told in multiple flashbacks, with a reporter questioning those who knew Waylan and his wife, including a political operative (Peter Boyle) and Kathy's sister (Nancy Sorel). This film originally ran on Fox in the spring of 1996 and was produced by Hallmark Hall of Fame Productions. ~ Tom Wiener, Rovi

"Houston, we have a problem." Those words were immortalized during the tense days of the
Apollo 13
lunar mission crisis in 1970, events recreated in this epic historical drama from
Ron Howard. Astronaut Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks) leads command module pilot Jack Swigert (Kevin Bacon) and lunar module driver Fred Haise (Bill Paxton) on what is slated as NASA's third lunar landing mission. All goes smoothly until the craft is halfway through its mission, when an exploding oxygen tank threatens the crew's oxygen and power supplies. As the courageous astronauts face the dilemma of either suffocating or freezing to death, Mattingly and Mission Control leader Gene Kranz (Ed Harris) struggle to find a way to bring the crew back home, all the while knowing that the spacemen face probable death once the battered ship reenters the Earth's atmosphere. The film received an overwhelmingly enthusiastic critical response and a Best Picture nomination, but lost that Oscar to another (very different) historical epic, Mel Gibson's Braveheart. In 2002, the movie was released in IMAX theaters as Apollo 13: The IMAX Experience, with a pared-down running time of 116 minutes in order to meet the technical requirements of the large-screen format. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

This is part of a Learn to Sew series where I occasionally post tips, tricks, and beginner projects.
Admission: I've never been to a spa. And I've never really felt like I needed to, so I don't feel any loss. I did get a facial of some kind once where they rubbed dry ice on my face and I felt like my skin was too small when I left… it was nice but not something I'd pay for anytime soon. Bring on the wrinkles: they are badges of honor!
Anyway, sewing machines do need their time to rejuvenate and get refreshed, especially in the form of lint removal and oiling. My machine, at least according to the manual, needs oil every three hours worth of sewing. I will tell you I don't oil it every three hours; that would be crazy. More like every 10, I think.
A few months ago, I noticed my machine shaking considerably more than normal when I was sewing, and it was having a hard time getting the needle going. So I looked in my manual (a lot of manuals are available online if you don't have one) and saw the 3 hours thing… and felt like an idiot that I've had my machine for years and haven't oiled it.
I took everything apart and was SHOCKED at how much stuff had gunked up in the machine. So much so, in fact, that when I tried sewing again, the freshly oiled goop (I missed some) got stuck on a gear shaft and it wouldn't sew! I was freaking out. I had to really work it to get it moving again, and you should have seen the piece of gunk I pulled out of it. It was like the creature from the black lagoon.
Now I regularly de-lint and oil my machine. Every machine is different (in fact, some say to never oil it or to have the professionals oil it), but let me give you a basic idea of how to do it. Of course, ALWAYS consult your own sewing machine manual for how to give some TLC to your own machine.
When you open your bobbin part and see lint, it is time! Pull out your bobbin.
I have a nifty lever that opens everything up when I push on it. Like magic.
Pop! Look at that mess! Next I pull out the part that holds my bobbin, and I remove the plate on top by the feed dogs too. There is always a great collection of lint there.
Carefully brush the loose lint away using the brush that came with your machine, or I use a paintbrush sometimes too. If there is lint really trapped in crevices, I bust out my sewing machine tweezers. Be very careful, and just pull on lint!
You'll end up with a pretty pile like this. Yum.
If you are supposed to oil your machine, use your sewing machine oil and add a SMALL drop on the parts that move; just turn your hand wheel and see what moves, and put the oil on that. If you do too much, the lint will soak in the oil and give you a bigger headache than before. Ask me how I know.
Then, when you re-assemble it (just reverse what you did taking it apart), it will be purring like a kitten. And your machine will thank you.

Event Details
Without question, telcos around the globe are aggressively looking to capitalize on the massive wave of both enterprise and consumer adoption of cloud, video, mobility and social media tools that are no ubiquitous in the market. This opportunity begs the question: What is the role for telcos in this increasingly converging eICT (ecommerce/online, IT, communications and consumer) world? Was it a predestined inevitability that telcos would thrive in an eICT world given that many of these emerging technologies leverage their core network strengths and thus, giving them a distinct unique advantage over the competition? Most importantly, how will the telco leverage this advantage to stay relevant, adapting to the new reality and competing in areas previously not addressed or that represent familiar ground? Despite their inherent advantage, building up a successful eICT practice requires a progressive evolution in the way telcos think and design their attack strategy, portfolio and roadmap, selling competencies, delivery capabilities, customer services and go-to-market partnership and channel strategy. The future can belong to these telcos if they can successfully modernize their core strategies with conviction and build up an alliance and partnership ecosystem that allows them to be the eICT service provider of choice of organizations. Network ownerships give telcos a unique head start in the eICT world, what is needed now is both visionary leadership and resolve to execute well. Key issues that will be discussed at this briefing include:
