Simon Cowell's USA Version Of The X Factor Hits Lawsuit Problems
July 21, 2011 11:30 AM by Kristin Watson
Fox's U.S. version of The X Factor hasn't even debuted yet and it's already making news with a lawsuit brought on by Simon Fuller. Read on to see why the American Idol creator is suing Simon Cowell's latest show…
American Idol creator Simon Fuller is suing the Fox network for "credits" and "monetary fees" related to the U.S. version of Simon Cowell's The X Factor.
The lawsuit, which was made public on Wednesday (July 20), claims the network and The X Factor's producers FremantleMedia North America refused to uphold a 2005 contract giving Simon Fuller an executive producer credit and monetary fees for the show.
A spokesperson for Simon Fuller released the following statement: "Mr. Fuller has prudently attempted to settle this matter privately, but the other parties have refused to honor the original contract leaving him no other choice but to pursue legal action."
Fox and Fremantle released a counter statement saying, "Mr. Fuller has not been hired, nor performed any duties, on the U.S. version of The X Factor. His suit seeks payment and credit as an executive producer despite his neither having been approved by the required parties, nor hired, as such."
This is all coming from old wounds between Simon Cowell and Simon Fuller, when Fuller made accusations that Cowell's The X Factor, which has been running in Britain for a long time, was similar to American Idol. Apparently, Fuller agreed to the credit and money to make it all go away, but now it seems to have popped back up again.
Wow, a lawsuit? What a way to get some publicity going for a highly anticipated show that debuts on September 21. Can't we all just live in peace and harmony and watch Simon Cowell and Paula Abul take over our television again?

Honoring true heroes
Veterans Day | A school near Atlanta recognizes the sacrifices veterans have made for the country
JOHNS CREEK, Ga.-Don Hart had never had anyone ask for his autograph. So on Thursday morning he seemed surprised when three young students with wide eyes and big smiles surrounded him and asked him to sign a small poster bordered with a red, white, and blue banner.
"I don't know why they wanted my autograph," he said with a chuckle. "I'm just a regular veteran."
Hart, 71, might not think of himself as a celebrity, but to the students at Perimeter School, a private Christian school just north of Atlanta, he was something better-a hero.
The former radarman-who served on the destroyer USS Orleck during the Vietnam War-was one of about 100 veterans and a few service members still on active duty honored at the school's 17th annual Veterans Day program. The community-wide event drew some 2,000 students, teachers, and local residents who gathered to celebrate just a handful of the thousands of veterans who have served the United States for decades.
It was Hart's first time attending the event, and he was impressed. "The children are getting a chance to see that a lot of these people paid a really, really big price," he said. "We want them to know what it cost."
The students, from first to eighth grade, spend weeks preparing for the day-writing essays, painting posters, practicing patriotic songs, and thinking of questions to ask the veterans who spend the afternoon visiting their classrooms.
Eli Roache, 9, said he liked having a chance to celebrate what the veterans have done for their country. He liked hearing their stories, even though some did not have happy endings. "Some of them have seen their best friends die right in front of them," he said.
Roache and his fourth grade classmates had a chance to learn a little more about the modern military from Pvt. Caleb Johnson, a Marine less than a week out of boot camp. Balancing his white hat on his knee, Johnson sat at the front of the classroom and answered questions about his training, his future deployments, and the fear unleashed by drill sergeants. They really are as terrifying as they appear in movies, Johnson assured the students. Before he left, the students prayed for Johnson, asking God to keep him safe.
In the seventh grade class taught by Dave Boy, Vietnam veteran Tom Brendle told the students they had a real hero in their midst every day. Boy flew fighter jets for the Navy, which Brendle assured the students that it was one of the most dangerous jobs in the service.
Surrounded by five other veterans, several of whom had grandchildren in the class, Brendle choked up a bit when he talked about the importance of his faith during his time in battle. He had only been a captain for a few weeks when his commanding officer assigned him to lead a battery whose previous leader had just died after stepping on a land mine.
Brendle told the students he prayed fervently that first night that God would help him bring all of his men home safely. The company endured nine months of shelling, mortar attacks, and bombing runs, and not one of the 100 men was wounded. "The Lord protected Charlie battery," he said, fighting back tears.
Bobby Scott, the school's headmaster, said meeting so many veterans and service members from so many different conflicts helped the students understand the reality of the things they read about in their history classes. "This gives them an opportunity to say thank you in a tangible, real way," he said.
Before the event, held this year on the day before Veterans Day, each of Perimeter's 583 students wrote a personal letter of thanks to the veterans, who picked them up as they left the auditorium.
The program started as one third-grade teacher's classroom project. The students enjoyed it so much that administrators decided to make it a school-wide event. Seventeen years later, it has become one of the school's biggest annual celebrations. Almost all of the audience members raised their hands when asked whether they knew someone who had served or was serving in the military.
During the program, guess speaker Col. Bobby Little challenged his listeners to reach out to other veterans they might know who deserved to be recognized. "We can't do enough to extend our gratitude for all they've done for us," he said.
As the fourth grade students sang a medley of songs representing each branch of the military, the servicemen, and a few servicewomen, stood and were recognized.
Scott urged his students to honor the veterans' sacrifice and the vital role they played in supporting freedom. "This weekend, thousands will go to football games and concerts to be in the presence of people they think are heroes," he said. "I would question that. The true heroes are those who are here with us today."

Father's Day Cereal Treat
I don't know about you, but my dad almost never wears ties, so growing up my siblings and I never had that as a fall-back option for Father's Day. Even all the tie-related father's day gifts and cards seem like a stretch. My dad does love camping though, and rice krispie treats. With that in mind, I put together this cereal treat to mimic the look of layers of earth, soil, and rocks.
If you're planning on making your dad breakfast in bed, this would definitely be a sweet option - it is cereal after all!
Supplies: mug/ramekin (in desired size), plastic wrap, cooking spray, 1/3 cup of three different cereals, 1 cup mini marshmallows, 3/4 tsp margarine, white and green chocolate wafers, chocolate rocks, mushroom toppers, and plastic trees.
Step 1: Line your mug with plastic wrap. Coat with cooking spray.
Step 2: Microwave 1/4 tsp margarine until melted. Add 1/3 cup mini marshmallows and stir to coat. Microwave 20-30 seconds, until melted, and stir. Add 1/3 cup of desired cereal and mix well.
Step 3: Press cereal mixture into mug.
Step 4: Repeat with both remaining cereals. I used plain Rice Krispies, Chocolate Cheerios, and Golden Grahams. Reese Puffs, Nesquick, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cap'n Crunch, and Cocoa Pebbles would all be fun to try as well, depending on what cereals your dad likes best.
Step 5: Remove the cereal treat by pulling on the plastic wrap.
Step 6: Place the cereal treat on plate.
Step 7: If desired, while the marshmallow is still sticky press extra cereal pieces onto the sides of the treat to emphasize the look of layers of earth.
Step 8: Melt green and white wafers in the microwave and stir. Pour melted chocolate onto the cereal treat.
Step 9: Spread chocolate over the cereal treat with a butter knife. It's okay if it's uneven - it looks more like grass that way!
Step 10: Place your chocolate rocks and decorations onto the chocolate before hardened.
Step 11: If desired, make a simple banner with paper and a wooden skewer.
If you're having family over, you could make a bigger batch in a 9" x 13" pan and cut squares like you would for normal cereal treats.

Using the simple tools and directions in this kit, kids can get a first experience with doing silk screening. It comes with the frame, stencils, fabric paint, and all the other materials you need for designing tee shirts or fabric bags. The kit does not come with any clothing. This is a good kit to use outdoors where clean up is simpler. The directions are written largely in French, but there are limited directions in English PLUS excellent visual step by step illustrations that show kids how to do this. Our tester made a costume with a tee shirt for a school play and was delighted with the end product. Marked 8 & up. We think tween can handle this solo, but younger kids in the range will need assistence. The company has signed a verification form complying with our safety requirements. We did not independently test this toy in a lab.

The Outsider
By Deborah Sontag
Published: March 28, 1999
After 32 years in the israeli Army, Yitzhak Mordechai could not help himself. When a graveside military salute began with rifles cocking, the former Minister of Defense snapped back his shoulders and lifted his chin. As he stood at attention, his craggy face was impassive but his eyes were misty. Another of his men was being lowered into the ground, and this one, Brig. Gen. Erez Gerstein, he had known well; it was Mordechai who had promoted him into his post in Lebanon, where he was killed.
Mordechai has been to hundreds of military funerals; they are a routine ritual here, especially for generals like him. But this time was different. Mordechai, in civilian clothes and a small black yarmulke, was standing on the sidelines. In his heart he was still commander of the troops who had come to bury Gerstein under the pine trees in a kibbutz not far from the Lebanese border. But officially he had no role. He was consigned to his new ranks, part of a bank of candidates vying to be the next Prime Minister of Israel.
Later, Mordechai admitted to an aide that he had been uncomfortable on that crisp March afternoon. ''He told me this with body language, not verbally,'' recalled Avi Benayahu, his senior aide and a former military correspondent. This was in itself a telling comment. For in a supremely verbal society, Mordechai is a rare man of few words. Next to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the deftest word wizard in Israeli politics, and the Labor Party leader, Ehud Barak, whose sentences are elaborate constructions, Mordechai is a simple subject-predicate kind of a guy. But if the others articulate, he radiates. He projects empathy and no-nonsense toughness, a gruff teddy-bear persona that has made him enormously popular since he entered politics as Defense Minister barely three years ago.
Unlike his opponents, Mordechai, 54, is an accidental candidate. He spent his life preparing to be Defense Minister, not Prime Minister. And then one January weekend, just like that, he was unceremoniously dumped as Defense Minister by Netanyahu. Mordechai, a moderate, had brazenly been negotiating his political future with all parties from the time Netanyahu's right-wing Government collapsed in December. But the dismissal took place in public; Netanyahu announced live on television at the start of the evening news that he was firing him -- a humiliating assault on a proud man who would never himself so violate the rules of political decorum.
Within two days, Mordechai was reborn as the head of the new, and inchoate, Center Party, a political refugee camp for those hellbent on casting Netanyahu from public life. And with that, Mordechai, a cautious man who has always been underestimated, began taking the risk of his life, giving up a certain future as the No. 2 man. Early polls were not encouraging. They did show Mordechai to be the sure victor in the runoff elections scheduled for June 1, beating Netanyahu by a walloping 11 to 14 percent. But, and here was the conundrum, the polls also predicted that he would never make it past the first round of voting on May 17 -- placing third with 17 percent of the vote after a tied Barak and Netanyahu.
Many whispered that he did not have the intellectual depth or vision to lead the country, and that he would end up heading a breakaway party that could be a fleeting phenomenon. By mid-March, the Center Party, while clearly a strong advocate of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, still had no platform, just a vague message about healing the rifts in Israeli society. It presented itself tactically as the only solution to a bitter stalemate between left and right.
But there were others who discounted early predictions, convinced that at the very least he would be a kingmaker. Many even saw in Yitzhak Mordechai a new kind of leader for Israel: except for his being a career military man, Mordechai is single-handedly breaking the mold for Israeli prime ministerial candidates. His very candidacy -- he is far from the entrenched political aristocracy -- represents a sea change in turbulent political waters.
A Kurd born in Iraq, Mordechai is the first candidate ever to rise from the country's Sephardic Jewish underclass. He is the first to start his life here in a one-room immigrants' shack, to battle his way into the elite army paratroopers unit and to rise through the ranks by dint of his success in battle, his shrewd pragmatism and what friends call his karma. ''You should understand he is different from every other man who has ever tried to take off from this runway,'' said Maozia Segal, a leftist who has been loyal to Mordechai since Mordechai, as a Lieutenant Colonel, saved his life in the Golan Heights in 1974. ''The others were born into it. They are the elite, the Champagne of Israel. They went to the fine military schools, they came from the good homes, their roots here go back generations. He had to fight his way up. Everything he achieved, he achieved with his own 10 fingers. And they never considered him their equal.''

Legendary Jazz musician and trumpet player Donald Byrd has been confirmed dead (February 7) by family members. Amoeba Music has pointed out that Byrd's nephew, Alex Bugnon took to Facebook to report the death which actually happened Monday (February 4). The relative added, "I have no more patience for this unnecessary shroud of secrecy placed over his death by certain members of his immediate family." Byrd is believed to have been 80 years old.
Hip-Hop Wired also covered Byrd's death, and highlighted some of the horn players Hip Hop connections. Hits such as Main Source's "Looking At The Front Door," DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince's "Brand New Funk" and Organized Konfusion's "Stray Bullet," among many others all were built on Byrd's (and The Blackbyrds' catalog). Additionally, Byrd's cover to 1963's A New Perspective was recreated for Tone-Loc's 1989 debut, Loc-Ed After Dark.
Byrd is widely recognized for pioneering the implementation of a choir on a Jazz album. A Blue Note Records star, Byrd also recorded for Savoy, Prestige, Elektra and Columbia Records. Prior to his 1959 solo debut, Byrd played on albums by Cannonball Adderly and Art Blakely. Later in his career, he worked extensively with Herbie Hancock, Cal Tjader and Wes Montgomery. Byrd, a Detroit, Michigan native, also worked with the late Guru on his first two volumes of Jazzmatazz.
In addition to his Jazz legacy, Byrd (especially with his Blackbyrds group) worked in Soul and Funk music.
HipHopDX would like to send our condolences to the Byrd family and his many fans.

An occasional detail about his life would slip out, but scholars and citizens lamented that Zhao never had his final say.But Zhao did produce a memoir, secretly recording on audio tapes the real story of what happened during modern China's most critical moments. He provides intimate details about the Tiananmen crackdown, describes the ploys and double crosses used by China's leaders, and exhorts China to adopt democracy in order to achieve long-term stability. His riveting, behind-the-scenes recollections form the basis ofPrisoner of the State.The China that Zhao portrays is not some long-lost dynasty. It is today's China, where its leaders accept economic freedom but resist political change. Zhao might have steered China's political system toward openness and tolerance had he survived. Although Zhao now speaks from the grave, his voice still has the moral power to make China sit up and listen.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- The city's snowplows have been coming and out of the salt yard all day, filling up their trucks then heading back out onto city streets. It is the same routine as in years past but there's something different this year. They're driving new snow plows and a few even have a feature to help keep the roads clear even before the flakes start flying.
Rockford drivers spent the day navigating on slushy, and sometimes snow-covered roads but they also shared the roads with the city's 20 brand new snow plows.
It was a busy day at the city yard as the trucks were filled with salt to spread on roads but two of the shiny new trucks have a new feature to keep our roads clear. They can spread liquid to keep roads clear before a storm. Until now, crews had to spread the liquid with the salt once the roads are already covered.
"It not only helps keep the streets clear but it's a little easier on the bridge infrastructure," said Public Works Superintendent Mark Stockman.
This round of snow wasn't enough for city crews to use the plows, but it was a good chance for drivers to test out the new fleet.
"You want to get them out there, get out the bugs, and get them ready so when the major stuff comes later on we don't have any issues with minor little things going wrong," said Stockman.
Stockman says it was warm enough that most of the snow that fell, melted once it hit the roads so there wasn't much freezing.
The city council approved buying the new fleet back in 2011 along with a number of other city vehicles.
ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- Due to the recent snow fall causing slippery driving conditions the Rockford Police Department is responding to several traffic crashes. Due to the call load the Rockford Police Department is under the Emergency Accident Plan.
All traffic crashes involving minor damage where both vehicles are driveable the drivers should exchange information and come to the Front Desk of the Public Safety Building to fill out an traffic crash report.
Routine calls for police services can be delayed this morning.
Public Works is salting arterial streets in an effort to reduce traffic crashes.

Quentin Tarantino
KILL BILL: Quentin Tarantino
Article by Steve Biodrowski
As a director, Quentin Tarantino owes much of his success to his skill as a writer. His early directorial efforts (including Pulp Fiction and Jack Brown) are competently staged, and he seems to get genuinely good acting performances out of his cast (look at the way Bruce Willis set aside his trademark movie star smirking persona in order to play an actual character in Pulp Fiction). But the visual quality of his films does not stand out strongly in memory. In the case of From Dusk Till Dawn, in which he was involved as both a writer and an actor, Tarantino even turned the directorial reigns over to the more flamboyant Roberto Rodriguez (Desperado, Spy Kids), who provided a level of technical virtuosity unseen in Tarantino's work up to that time.
With Kill Bill, Tarantino has inverted usual writing-directing equation. The film contains the clever dialogue, laced with a film geek's pop culture sensibility, that one expects from Tarantino, but in this case the script obviously exists as a platform for him to show off what he can achieve as a director in terms of outrageous stunt and action work. The genesis of the project dates back to Pulp Fiction, when Tarantino and actress Uma Thurman conceived the character of the Bride, a female assassin out for revenge against her former cohorts, the "Deadly Viper Assassination Squad." (The idea of the assassination team was derived from "Fox Force Five," the unsold TV-pilot in which Thurman's character in Pulp Fiction, Mia Wallace, is said to have starred). Inspired by countless Hong Kong kung fu movies, Japanese Samurai and anime flicks, and Spaghetti Westerns, Tarantino churned out an epic script that, when filmed, resulted in a three-hour-plus running time.
Tarantino expresses pride in what he was able to achieve as a director, especially in regard to staging the lengthy and elaborate fight sequences, in collaboration with martial arts choreographer Woo-ping Yuen.
"It's probably pretty obvious that's the reason I made the movie," says Tarantino, who insisted on directing these scenes himself, instead of handing them over to a second unit. "I've never quite understood the way they do these things in America, where they hire a second-unit guy to do the action scenes. I don't get it: you're doing an action movie; why would you hire somebody else to do the action? It's like fucking and then letting somebody else have the orgasm! If you meet a guy who directed the last James Bond movie, you go, 'Hey man, great movie!' Well, you didn't like the exposition scenes, and that's what he did! Three other guys did the other shit! So I was like, 'Enough of that shit! It may suck, but it'll be mine!' In China, they have action directors—a separate director; the director can go home when the action director is working. Not because he's taking over but because they make the movies so fast: one guy's doing the dialogue while Woo-Ping is doing the action, and the movie's going to be in theatres on Wednesday! That's the way it is. In America, the guys know even less. You have the director watching everything on a monitor, while Wu Ping's on the floor actually doing it, and the director just goes, 'Yeah, great job. Cut!'"
Before filming Tarantino even trained with Woo-Ping in order to bring himself up to speed. The training had another advantage, when it came to directing his leading lady and her co-stars. "I didn't want to split my focus, but it was a good thing for me to go through the training for two basic reasons," Tarantino explains. "One: it really made me close to the fight scenes; it really made me part of the fight scenes. So we could choreograph scenes together and talk about them. Two: I wouldn't have had any authority with those girls if I hadn't gone through the same pain that they went through. I'm serious. If I was saying, 'Harder, faster,' they'd say, 'Fuck you, motherfucker!' But I could say, 'Hey bitch! I know what it feels like! Go back out there and do it again!' The bottom line was, I've been watching this shit all my life; I'll be damned if these girls are going to have all the fun, doing what I've always wanted to do!"
Much of the film was shot at the old Shaw Brothers studios in Hong Kong, where many of the films that inspired Tarantino were made. Tarantino felt this was necessary in order to achieve the proper staging for the action.
"There's a big difference between the Chinese way and the American way" of filming, he explains. "In America, it's all about schedule; the schedule is God. In China, fuck the schedule! Movies are kind of cheap there, so especially when you shoot an action scene, you shoot until you're done, and that's it. They can afford to do that. That's what we did. In America, also, you shoot everything on one side of the room—everything for a ten-minute scene. Then we turn the camera around and shoot everything the other way; change the lighting. Not in Hong Kong action movies. You break it down into little bite-sized bits, and you shoot everything you need for that bit. And when you're done with it, you move on to the next little bit. That's the only way you can really do it, because if you try to do it the American way, you'll never remember it. You'll drive yourself crazy trying to remember every little thing you need. So in Hong Kong you keep going with the fight, doing every little bit."
"So what would happen is… It was a process we found, because I had never done it before, so I didn't know how to do it. I would have two members of the fight team show me what we were doing. They would do the four or five moves of that moment of the fight. I would make them do it again, five or six times. While they're doing it Woo-Ping is watching them; Bob Richardson, the cinematographer, is watching them; I'm watching them. When it's all over, I say, 'Camera here, here, here, and here. Woo-Ping, what do you think?' 'Very good.' 'Bob Richardson, what do you think?' 'Oh, great, great!' 'Okay, way to go!'"
The results mix elements from many different sources, which adds much-needed variety, especially to the extended climax. "It's a hodgepodge" of styles, Tarantino explains. "If you take the House of the Leaves sequence and break it down, it's interesting to see the different fighting styles I was going for. When [the Bride] fights the first six of the Crazy 88, that is like Zatoichi, pop-Japanese style. Then she fights Gogo [Yubari, played by Chiaki Kuriyama]—that's like a live-action Japanese anime. When the Crazy 88 come in—the big fight—to me, that's completely old Shaw Brothers style—the classic scene, the one-against-a-hundred fight. Then you go out in the snow garden, and it gets Japanese style again. So it just kept popping back and forth, back and forth."
Kill Bill visual references are not limited to oriental filmmaking. The influence of Italian Westerns is also apparent (albeit more in Volume 2). And there are even flourishes borrowed from Brian DePalma, including a split-screen sequence in which Daryl Hannah (playing a killer in a nurse uniform, a la Dressed to Kill) "I waited my whole career to do a DePalma sequence. This is it!" Tarantino gloats.
Even more elaborate is an extended Steadicam tracking shot that takes place in the House of Blue Leaves—very reminiscent of similar shots used by DePalma in the openings of Bonfire of the Vanities, and Snake Eyes, Mission to Mars).
"I'm really proud of that sequence," Tarantino admits. "I'd always wanted to do one of those big long shots. Larry McConkey is like the king of the Steadicam. He's the guy who does DePalma's big Steadicam shot. I don't know if this is as good as those, but it's damn good. The thing is I had this beautiful set. I said, 'Hey, I've got the money now; I can get whatever I can dream up, so let me dream up something really hard.' I can honestly say it was really exciting shooting that sequence, for a couple of different reasons. One of the reasons it was really exciting was we didn't really know if we could do it. We didn't know if we could pull this off in one shot. It's a shot where obviously your day is going to be doing that shot. At four o'clock in the afternoon, we had only got the first quarter of it done, just in rehearsal—practicing it. It wasn't until nine o'clock that we got one whole take, and kept going. We used the last one, out of thirteen takes."
Tarantino adds, "There's one thing I have to talk about. I almost can't talk about the movie without talking about this…the experience of working with a crew in Beijing. It was a gigantic Chinese crew, and we also had a gigantic Japanese crew, working as keys, not just flipping sandbags while all these Americans were doing the job. There were a lot of Americans there, but also a whole lot of Japanese and a whole lot of Chinese, working together. That meant four different languages going on constantly, and translators for each of them: you had English; you had Japanese; you had Mandarin; you had Cantonese. If count the Australians on the set, it was five languages!" he interjects with a laugh. "The thing that was really cool was the last day of our first week of shooting was that Steadicam shot. The whole crew made that shot work. Because cranes are coming in, cranes gotta go; walls are coming in, walls gotta go. At the height of a Tower of Babel atmosphere, everyone came together to pull this shot off. It's one of the cooler things about doing a shot like that, because every member of the crew is working to pull that off. That was when we knew that this family we had created was going to completely and utterly work. We all achieved something that we were really proud of."
The result was, typically for Tarantino, one that alienated many critics, who were put off by the film's excessive violence. The criticism had been made before; what was new was the accusation that Tarantino, once the master screenwriter, had for the first time let style trump content. "An eye-popping, blood-soaked, ingeniously choreographed thriller and Hong Kong homage that ultimately adds up to…not much," complained John Anderson in Newsday. Bob Allan in Denton agreed, calling Kill Bill, Volume 1 the "chocolate éclair of fall films: a delicious, yet empty treat."
Fortunately, Tarantino was able to shrug off criticism, thanks to the film's strong box office, and there were positive notices as well: "The violence, blood levels—and just plain cheesy gore—in this film are extreme, but Tarantino's sharp dialogue and expert editing leave you breathless," said Paul Clinton on Cable News Network.
Tarantino gives credit for the "expert editing" to Sally Menke, the longtime collaborator who has edited all of his previous films. "She's great," says Tarantino. The director prepped his editor by exposing her to some of his favorites in the genre. "I did show her a bunch of Hong Kong movies. She had a year to watch the, too, while we were shooting. She didn't grow up watching Shaw Brothers movies, but she loved them. She had such a good time. Not only that. I don't give someone a lot of help in the editing room while I'm shooting. I don't watch dailies. I don't say, 'Use this shot; don't use that one.' That frustrates me, because it just makes me want to start editing right away, and to me there's two different processes: shooting and editing. So I don't tell Sally what I want; I just let her figure it out. If I want to cut from here to there, when I'm in the editing room, I'll do that. In the meantime, let her find her own way; maybe she'll come up with something even cooler that I hadn't thought about. It's also good for her to get to know the material. There's also another reason: she's so fucking good that I don't want her to know anymore that's in my head. If I told her what I want, she would do it while I was shooting, and I'd have nothing to contribute later. So I keep her in the dark so that I can be part of the process."
A relatively late decision in the editing process was to split the film into two parts. To avoid cutting epic running time down to standard feature length, Tarantino took a bit of advice from Miramax, the film's distributor: he sectioned the movie into two parts (a la Richard Lester's The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers), with Volume 1 coming out in 2003 and Volume 2 released in 2004. It was a difficult decision to make, but Tarantino was ultimately able to come to terms with it, on aesthetic as well as commercial grounds.
"I always thought about the move, even before I split it into two, as kind of being split in two, stylistically," he claims. "This [first] movie was the Asian movie, with Spaghetti Western overtones. Spaghetti Westerns are undergoing a big revival in Japan right now. They're not called 'Spaghetti' Westerns; they're called 'Macaroni' Westerns. No joke! They have stuff on DVD in Japan that you cannot get here [in the U.S.], so I loaded up when I was there. But Volume 2 is my modern day Spaghetti Western, with Asian film overtones. [The first] is my Eastern; the next one is my Western."

Due to the extreme drought conditions throughout Kentucky, it is important to be aware of nitrate poisoning that may occur as a consequence of nitrate accumulation in certain forages.
Nitrate concentrations tend to be higher at the base of the plants and higher in the stalks than the leaves.
Grains, seeds and leaves do not accumulate significant nitrate levels.
Plants with high stem-to-leaf ratios are the most likely to cause nitrate intoxication.

Want a museum? Elkhart man seeks new home for Miles Lab bottles, Speedy dolls, Bactine bottles
ELKHART — Arden Stickel is worried.
He's getting on in years and won't be around forever, so he's got to figure out what to do with all his Miles Laboratories bottles and pills. And promotional Frisbees. And company newsletters. And Speedy dolls, Speedy being the Alka-Seltzer pitchman of yesteryear.
It's a lot of stuff, packed on a jumble of shelves in the basement of his Elkhart home, a shrine to his former employer, which, most notably, developed Alka-Seltzer. In its heyday, Miles employed thousands of workers, was a real institution in Elkhart, and Stickel, in deference to that, wants to keep the collection together.
Here he is, inspecting the items — outdated bottles of Flintstone chewable vitamins, Alka-Seltzer boxes, Bactine bottles — dreaming of a museum to house the old pharmaceuticals. They tell the Miles story, give the former Elkhart employer its proper due, he thinks. Three rooms of exhibit space would be sufficient to properly display the items quite nicely.
"Everybody says they'd like to see a museum, but they're not offering any solutions," he laments. "They seem interested to a point, but not to offer any concrete solutions."
As such, he's on a mission, wringing his hands nervously, hoping to find someone who shares his zeal. Would you like to buy the collection, 2,000 to 2,500 items, create a space to house it all? If so, Stickel is game to sell and he's open to offers. Otherwise, he might auction it off.
Given the right creative minds, he thinks the bottles and Fred Flintstone promotional toys and vintage Alka-Seltzer advertisements could be fashioned into a museum that would draw them in. He gestures to a kid-sized Alka-Seltzer car, some sort of promotional thing.
"It'd be great for kids, to sit in that seat and have their picture taken," he says.
Here are a few of the basics on Miles: Elkhart physician Franklin Miles launched the firm in 1884, developing, famously, Alka-Seltzer, the acid indigestion reliever that goes plop, plop, fizz, fizz, and many other pharmaceutical products. Germany's Bayer Corp. bought the company in 1979, scrapped the Miles name in 1995 and gradually phased out production in Elkhart.
Stickel, now 77 and recovering from a bout with lymphoma that partially prompted his search for a new home for his collection, worked there from 1965 to 1997. If you haven't already figured it out, he loved the place, he's passionate. Very passionate. He loved being part of a company that, as he sees it, helped make Elkhart.
Speedy, the red-headed pitchman with the body of an Alka-Seltzer tablet, "put Elkhart on the map," Stickel says. "It was a big player in Elkhart. In fact, one of the largest employers in Elkhart."
No one disputes that. But in running a museum, there are certain realities to consider, notes Paul Thomas, operator of the Time Was Museum here, focused on the history of Elkhart.
Those employed by Miles are quickly aging and "fast disappearing," limiting the pool of people who most logically would be drawn to a museum focused on the business. Moreover, Miles, while important in its day, isn't the only company that had a significant imprint.
"I think it would be a limited audience," said Thomas, whose crowded museum has a section dedicated to Miles.
Matthew Schuld, manager of the Elkhart County Historical Museum in Bristol, notes that starting and running a museum takes a lot of community support and volunteers. The Bristol museum, too, has a collection dedicated to Miles.
Sure, it's no simple task.
That doesn't dilute Stickel's passion any. Ivy Tech Community College here would be a great home, though he's not gotten any sort of indication from school officials that they'd take his collection off his hands. Stickel visited once and there seemed to be plenty of space in the school, opened in new digs in 2010.
"I like to see people enjoy Miles history. Just to see it go by the wayside is sad," he says.
In particular, he doesn't like the idea of breaking it apart, one piece going here, another piece over there. It belongs together — the apothecary jars, the picture of Miles' 1942 girls basketball team, the Bugs Bunny Vitamins promotional toys — to properly tell the Miles story.
Plus, the bottom line? He can't take it with him when he goes to meet his maker. He has to do something with the collection.
Given the lymphoma scare, he'd probably install a treadmill and some other exercise equipment in his cluttered basement were he to clear it of all the Miles stuff, helping him stay in shape.
Either way, his 30-plus years of collecting Miles paraphernalia are winding down. Wife Elsa notes they may move to a retirement community some day.
"I've told my wife — I've got to stop. I can't take anymore," says Stickel.

In the spirit of the debate, however, we feel compelled to note that we find some of John and Mitchell's logic flimsy.
Before we get to that, though, more on the numbers. John's response alerted us to Mozilla's full financial information for 2006. The information (which we hadn't seen) suggests that our earlier estimates and valuation of a publicly traded Mozilla Corp were in the ballpark.
Specifically, Mozilla's revenue grew as follows:
2004: $6 million
2005: $53 million
2006: $67 million
Total expenses in 2006 were $20 million, resulting in a 2006 operating profit of an impressive $47 million.
Assuming revenue and operating profit grew in 2007 (and we can't imagine why they wouldn't have), we would expect Mozilla Corp's 2008 revenue to be near the low end of our previously estimated $100-$200 million range, with operating profit of a mid-range $75-$100 million. We therefore stand by our earlier estimate of a publicly traded value of at least $1.5-$4 billion for Mozilla Corp.
And now on to the anti-IPO arguments:
John Lilly says that it would be "ethically wrong" to take Mozilla public. If the Mozilla Foundation has promised the Mozilla community that it will never pursue an IPO, then, yes, reneging would be ethically wrong. If, however, John is arguing that it would be ethically wrong to broaden the ownership of Mozilla Corp. to include shareholders who may have different priorities than the Mozilla Foundation, this is bogus.
John (and Mitchell, in previous posts) casts the argument in the typical non-profit = good and for-profit = bad terms that are common in these discussions. In many cases, this framework is fair, but in this one it isn't. Why? First, because we're dealing with Internet browsers, not soup kitchens. (Yes, it's nice to have a free, high-quality tool that isn't plastered with ads or hooks into other products, but the idea that this is a "public trust" in the same vein as a National Park or Social Security is silly.) Second, because Mozilla Corp. is already a for-profit corporation--and one that happens to be making a big profit.
Why is Mozilla Corp. making a big profit? Because it is being extremely well managed by its owner, the Mozilla Foundation (well done, John!). For example, Mozilla Corp. has attracted thousands of talented, dedicated, and cheap (free) workers, and it has made smart, restrained business decisions that have put Firefox users and developers first. It has followed the Amazon playbook--ignoring those who demand a quick revenue score and instead investing in user happiness. This is indeed "good" policy for users and (unpaid) employees, but it's good policy because it's good business, not because the Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit.
What to do with those piles of cash?
Make no mistake: Whether or not the Mozilla Foundation (MF) takes Mozilla Corporation (MC) public, the Mozilla Foundation will collect (and own) the cash that piles up as Firefox's awesome browser business mints money. As Firefox grows, that cash pile will become ever more immense--and, as it does, the Mozilla Foundation will have to decide what to do with it. The decisions might include:
- reinvesting in the business
- investing in other businesses
- earning interest
- paying Mozilla employees more
- paying code contributors
- throwing massive Mozilla community boondoggles
- funding the Coalition for the Homeless
John's second argument--that going public would make it harder for the Mozilla Foundation to achieve its goals--is fair. We are still not clear on how the Mozilla Foundation's goals differ from the goals of a superbly run business (one that creates high-quality products that customers love, treats employees well, and makes a fair profit), but it is true that public shareholders tend to be impatient and single-minded.
In any event, as the sole owner of Mozilla Corp., the Mozilla Foundation can do whatever it wants with the business. But our question is this:
Do the thousands of developers who built Firefox really have the same goals as the Mozilla Foundation? Or would some of them prefer to eventually get some financial benefit from the amazing business they've built?
A salary, maybe--just like the salaries Mozilla Corp. employees who benefit from their labors get? (Why should a Mozilla Corp administrator live on the browser income while a developer has to subsist on warm feelings and a day job?) Will the volunteer developers feel the same way in a few years, when Mozilla Corp's cash pile is mountainous?
If not an IPO, would the Mozilla Foundation at least consider paying Mozilla Corp's employees and contributors a dividend?

El Refugio Cloud Forest Lodge is located in Intag, in Imbabura Province, Ecuador. The lodge is on 75 acres of land, partly fields and partly forest. The Toabunchi River passes through it. At 6,000 feet, the weather is spring-like, with cool temperatures in the evening, typically ranging into the 70s during the day.
Northwest Ecuador cloud forests have been described as perhaps the most biologically diverse in the world. There are many birds here or in the area, including masked trogon, toucan barbet, Andean cock-of-the-rock, white-faced nunbird, and black-and-chestnut eagle, as well as many colorful tanagers and hummingbirds. The farmland and woodlands of El Refugio have a prodigious number of orchids and other flowers, of trees (including the medicinal wonder-tree Sangre de drago), and of various epiphytes (plants that grow on other plants), such as bromeliads. Mammals can be harder than the birds to see, but many interesting ones live at or pass through the farm. There are many interesting walks on the property, as well as public trails and trails on other nearby reserves.
There are seven guest rooms. The Hummingbird House first floor has two bedrooms, a kitchenette, a bathroom, and a screened-in porch. The second floor suite has a private bath and balcony. The Trogon House has four guest rooms, each with private bath. The house also features two spacious glassed-in porches with comfortable seating.
The River House is the owner´s house and is available at certain times of the year.

Asturias, Owens Nab Weekly Pac-12 Gymnastics Honors
Related Links
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. – Following a successful opening weekend in which Cal posted its second-highest season-opening score in program history, a pair of Golden Bear gymnasts have nabbed two of the Pac-12's weekly honors. Senior Alicia Asturias is the Pac-12's Gymnast of the Week and freshman Charlie Owens is the Freshman/Newcomer of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday. Stanford's Amanda Spinner was voted Specialist of the Week.
Captain and all-around veteran Asturias (Granite Bay, Calif.) continued her senior season right where her junior season left off – as a rock-solid competitor for the Golden Bears. Among the 120 routines displayed at the NorCal Meet in Sacramento, Asturias stole the show and turned in four hit routines to claim the top all-around spot (out of five competitors) with a 39.175.
Asturias finished the afternoon with three event titles on beam, floor and all-around and helped lead No. 22 Cal to a near-upset of No. 9 Stanford and Cal's second-highest team score in a season opener in program history with a 194.650. Asturias' 9.85 on beam was a new career high, topping her previous best of 9.80 set last season vs. Nebraska.
Newcomer Owens (Alta Loma, Calif.) was the lone freshman between all five schools to compete as an all-arounder at the NorCal Meet, but her inexperience did not show. Instead, Owens hit all four of her routines with poise and confidence to tally a 38.950 overall, good for second in the all-around competition. Owens was bested only by Asturias but beat out three other all-arounders.
Aside from the all-around, Owens finished in the top 10 of three other events, finishing sixth on vault with a 9.75, ninth on beam with a 9.775 and eighth on floor with a 9.75. Despite a last-minute lineup swap that put Owens in the uneven bars lineup when she was originally scheduled only to exhibition on bars, Owens did not get rattled and put together a 9.675 routine to help Cal to its final total.
Gymnast of the Week has been selected every week of the season since 2001. The Specialist of the Week award was added in 2008. This is the second year for Freshman/Newcomer of the Week honors. Owens' Freshman of the Week honor is the first-ever for the Cal program, and this is just the second time in program history that a Cal gymnast has been named Gymnast of the Week. The last was My-Lan Dodd on March 11, 2003.
The Bears return to the competition floor on Saturday, Jan. 11 at 6 p.m. where they will face Denver at the University of Denver.

Dear Sir, Madam,
Congratulations with your purchase of a portable domestic heater. You have purchased a quality product, which will serve you for many years to come. This, of course, provided you use the heater correctly. Please read these Directions for Use first, to ensure maximum lifetime for your heater. Your heater comes with a 24-month manufacturers warranty on all defects in materials or workmanship.
We wish you a warm and comfortable time with your heater.
Yours sincerely,
PVG International b.v. Customer Service Department
Below you will find the main steps to be taken for using your heater. For more details, please refer to the MANUAL (pages 35 ff.).
Front plate Grid Base plate Lid for removable tank
Remove all packaging materials (refer to Section A, Fig. A). Fill the removable tank (refer to Section B, Fig. C). Insert the plug into the wall-socket. Ignite the heater using the key (refer to Section D). If required, change the temperature using the adjustment keys (refer to Section E). Air filter Vent filter Thermostat Plug + cord Information display key Childproof lock Adjustment keys (time and temperature) Timer Fuel gauge removable tank Operation panel Handle Removable tank
Switch off the heater by pressing the
The first time you ignite your heater it will smell like new for a short time. Store your fuel in a cool and dark place. Fuel has a limited shelf life. Start every heating season with renewed fuel. The right quality of fuel will be assured, when you use Zibro Extra or Zibro Kristal for your heater. If you change to another brand and/or type of parrafin oil, you must first finish up all the remaining fuel in the heater.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT VENTILATION For each model the minimum size of space is specified in which you can use the heater safely, without additional ventilation (refer to Section O). If a particular
room is smaller than the specified space, always put a window or door slightly ajar ( 2.5 cm). We also recommend doing this in highly insulated or draught-free rooms and/or at altitudes above 1,500 metres. However, if there is insufficient ventilation (i.e. oxygen), the heater will automatically switch off. Do not use your heater in cellars or other underground areas.
THE RIGHT FUEL Only use Class C1 paraffin fuel in accordance with BS2869; Part 2, or equivalent.
Your heater has been designed for use with high-quality water-free pure paraffin oil, such as Zibro Extra or Zibro Kristal. Only fuels of this kind will ensure clean and proper burning. Lower quality fuel may result in:
Only the use of the correct fuel will ensure safe, efficient, and comfortable use of your heater.
increased possibility of malfunctioning incomplete burning reduced heater lifetime smoke and/or smells deposits on the grid or mantle
Using the right fuel is therefore essential for safe, efficient, and comfortable use of your heater. Always refer to your local dealer for the right fuel for your heater.
This transportation cap is packed separately in the box. Only this cap ensures trouble-free transportation of the heater after use. Store it well!
1 Carefully remove your heater from the box and check the contents. In addition to the heater you also need to have: a transportation cap these directions for use Keep the box and the packaging materials (Fig. A) for storage and/or transportation. 2 Open the lid of the removable tank and remove the piece of cardboard. 3 Fill the removable tank as indicated in Section B. 4 The floor should be firm and completely level. Reposition the heater, when it is not level. Do not try to correct the situation by placing books or other goods under the heater. Please refer to the separate instructions in the carton box for fixing of the heater. 5 Insert the plug into the wall-socket (220/230 Volts - AC / 50 Hz) and set the correct time using the adjustment keys (refer to Section C). 6 Your heater is now ready for use.
FILLING FUEL Do not fill the removable tank in the living room, but in a more suitable place
(there can always be some spillage). Follow the procedure below:
1 Make sure that the heater is switched off. 2 Open the lid and lift the removable tank out of the heater (Fig. B). Note: Some drops may leak from the tank. Put down the removable tank (cap pointing upwards) and screw off the fuel cap. 3 Take the manual fuel pump and insert the smooth, most rigid tube into the jerrycan.

AUTOMATIC DEACTIVATION This heater is fitted with a safety system that ensures that it switches off
automatically after 48 hours continuous operation. The following will then appear in the display: the. If desired, you can switch the heater on again by pressing button (see section D).
AUTOMATIC CLEANING MODE When the heater has been burning continuously for two hours at its highest
setting, the burner will automatically start an autoclean procedure. The display will show the autocleaningcode cl 05 running back to cl 00. The procedure takes 5 minutes, during which the heater will burn at its lowest setting, while the burner autocleans. When the burner is clean again, the heater will automatically switch back to the highest setting again.
CHILDPROOF LOCK The childproof lock can be used to prevent children accidentally changing the
heater settings. When the heater is burning and the childproof lock is on, the heater can only be switched off. Other functions are blocked then. If the heater has already been switched off, the childproof lock also prevents accidental ignition of the heater. Activate the childproof lock by pressing the appropriate key and holding it

down for more than 3 seconds. The KEY-LOCK indicator (
) will appear on the
information display (Fig. H), indicating that the childproof lock has been activated. Switch off the childproof lock by pressing the key and holding it down for more than 3 seconds once again.
THE 'FUEL' INDICATOR When the FUEL indicator appears, there is enough fuel left for another 10 minutes
of heater use. The count-down of the remaining heating time can be seen in the information display (Fig. I). Every two minutes an alarm signal is sounded, warning you to refill the removable tank. If you do not react, the heater will

extinguish by itself. The heater will also sound a warning signal, when it switches off. The FUEL indicator will blink, while four lines are blinking in the information display. You can stop this by pressing the button once. Once the heater has used up all its fuel and is extinguished it will take some time, after the refill, before the heater is completely ready for use again.
THE 'VENT' INDICATOR When the VENT indicator starts blinking, this is a sign that the room is not vented
sufficiently (Fig. J). The heater will switch off automatically. If the indicator continues blinking after extra ventilation, please contact your dealer.
J: A blinking VENT indicator is a sign that you need extra ventilation.
MAINTENANCE Switch off the heater and let it cool down, before you start any maintenance
work. Also disconnect the plug from the mains. Your heater needs hardly any maintenance. It is, however, important that you clean the air filter and the vent
filter with a vacuum cleaner and the grid with a damp cloth, both on a weekly basis. Remove the air filter occasionally (Fig. K) and clean it with soapy water. Prior to reinstallation, make sure that the air filter cap has fully been dried. Regularly inspect the fuel filter as well: 1 Remove the removable tank from the heater and remove the fuel filter
Fuel filter L
(Fig. L). Some drops may leak from the filter; keep a cloth at hand. 2 Remove the dirt by tapping the fuel filter upside-down against a hard surface. (Never clean it with water!) 3 Reinstall the fuel filter into the heater. We recommend that you remove dust and stains from time to time with a damp cloth, because otherwise these may cause stains that are hard to remove. Do not remove any heater components yourself. Always contact your dealer for repairs. When the power cord is damaged, it may only be replaced by an authorised fitter. Use a new cord of the type H05 VV-F.
STORAGE (END OF THE HEATING SEASON) At the end of the heating season, you must store the heater in a dust-free place, if
possible in its original packaging. Unused fuel cannot be used in the next heating season. We therefore recommend that you burn up all fuel. If there is still some fuel left, do not throw it away, but dispose of it in accordance with the local regulations for the disposal of domestic chemical waste. Always start the new heating season with fresh fuel. When you start re-using the heater follow the instructions again (starting from section A and as specified).
TRANSPORTATION Take the following measures to avoid fuel leakage during the transportation of
the heater: 1 Let the heater cool down.
2 Remove the removable tank from the heater and remove the fuel filter (refer to Section L, Fig. L). Some drops may leak from the filter; keep a cloth at hand. Store the fuel filter and the removable tank outside the heater. 3 Place the transportation cap into the position of the fuel filter (Fig. M). Press it tight. 4 Always move the heater in an upright position.
