During Calvin Harris' set at Coachella 2012, Rihanna made a surprise appearance to perform her hit "We Found Love," produced by the dance mastermind.
The Bajan crooner took the stage at some point during Harris' performance, shouting out pop star Katy Perry who was in attendance and then launching into "We Found Love" and "Where Have You Been." She was apparently only there to watch the show, but hopped on the mic as a surprise for those in attendance.
Rihanna was later spotted with Perry watching Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's headlining set, perched atop a man's shoulders.
Watch her performance of "We Found Love" below, as well as footage of her at Dr. Dre and Snoop's set.

It's been a little over twenty years since Onyx dropped off their aggressively amazing debut album Bacdafucup. The album paired threatening bars with intense beats, and the result was a classic project that you could both bump in the club and the middle of a brawl. The third single "Shiftee" was drastically overshadowed by the first two singles off Bacdafucup: The controversial "Throw Ya Gunz" and the colossal hit "Slam." But "Shiftee" had its own unique swag about it. The song was about being grimy and having that echo into a myriad of life situations. On top of all that it was a hidden gem from a group that still reigns supreme in Hip Hop history for crafting quintessential beatdown music. In catching up with Onyx's de-facto leaders Fredro Starr and Sticky Fingaz, they discuss the meaning behind "Shiftee" and learning a valuable lesson from Industry Rule #4080.
HipHopDX: What was the concept behind "Shiftee"?
Sticky Fingaz: The concept was low down, gritty, and grimy!
Fredro Starr: The concept basically underlined what Onyx is. Onyx is the shiftee, low down, gritty, and grimy. So we made a song about it. We represent the struggle, we represent the out crowd, the dudes who can't get in the club, the guys who got to sneak in the club, bumrush the door. Those dudes.
Sticky Fingaz: We bum rush the door, steal from the bar. We ain't buying bottles, we taking them!
Fredro Starr: So "Shiftee" is the low down, gritty and grimy, and one thing about that song...Chyskillz was the producer. That beat was one of the first beats we got for the Onyx album. That was one of the original beats that Chyskillz made. That beat, "Bacdafucup," and "Throw Ya Gunz," that was the core of the album.
Sticky Fingaz: That bassy "Low End Theory" shit.
Fredro Starr: Producers know, that the elements used to produce that beat, we use through the whole album.
Sticky Fingaz: Bob James!
Fredro Starr: See we just gave you the secret. The whole Bacdafucup album was Bob James, just all chopped up. That was one of the illest samples from that Bob James record One. When we heard the beat we were like, "This is it. This is crazy." And then we shot the video on 42nd Street [in New York City]...
Sticky Fingaz: It was like a riot and shit!
DX: You came up the roof right?
Sticky Fingaz: We came on the roof!
Fredro Starr: Yeah we did! We came on the roof. We was popping.
DX: You were creeping up on the top.
Sticky Fingaz: Magic hour, know what I'm saying?
Fredro Starr: Yeah our faces were on the sidewalk. We did that video, and Lyor Cohen took us to this store. This is the craziest memory we have of "Shiftee." Lyor Cohen, President of Def Jam said, "Yo I'm gonna take y'all to this store, and I'm gonna get y'all some ill shit to wear!" We were like aight whatever, and we went to the store and the jackets we had in the "Shiftee" video was 3G's a piece. It was like that reflectable bullshit. They were 3G's a piece, so that was just crazy.
Sticky Fingaz: Best believe that shit came out of our budget!
Fredro Starr: When we got back the recoupment papers, it had those jackets on there.
Sticky Fingaz: It said, "The 'Shiftee' jackets."
Fredro Starr: Word to my mother.
DX: Oh yeah, you drink a Snapple in the studio, and they charge you airport rates for it.
Sticky Fingaz: There's the shiftee, low down, gritty, grimy shit!
Fredro Starr: Give me the money!
Sticky Fingaz: I'll pay for it.
Fredro Starr: That song represented the shiftee and Onyx, and it was a cool thing because at that time Def Jam was behind us and it was still a good feeling.

Kerry Washington will present the second Sundance Institute Vanguard Award to San Francisco filmmaker Ryan Coogler ("Fruitvale Station") at the third annual
'Celebrate Sundance Institute' Los Angeles Benefit on June 5, 2013 at
The Lot in West Hollywood.
At the event, Sundance Institute President and Founder Robert Redford will also present the Vanguard Leadership Award in Memoriam to beloved journalist and film critic Roger Ebert, in recognition of his lifetime advocacy of independent cinema. The award will be accepted by Ebert's wife, Chaz Ebert. "Roger Ebert was one of the great champions of freedom of artistic expression," said Redford. "When the power of independent film was still unknown and few would support it, Roger was there for our artists. His personal passion for cinema was boundless, and that is sure to be his legacy for generations to come."
Coogler's first feature film, "Fruitvale Station," starring Michael B. Jordan ("The Wire") and Octavia Spencer ("The Help"), was selected for Sundance Institute's Feature Film Program Screenwriters Lab and Artist Granting Fund and went on to win both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. The Weinstein Co. will release "Fruitvale Station," which will screen in the "Un Certain Regard" section at Cannes this May, in July 2013.
The Vanguard Award, presented by Tiffany & Co., comes with a cash grant and mentorship from industry professionals and Feature Film Program staff. The first Vanguard Award went last year to Benh Zeitlin, director of "Beasts of the Southern Wild," which was nominated for Best Picture, director, actress and adapted screenplay. The Vanguard Awards were founded in 2011 to mark the 30th anniversary of the Sundance Institute Feature Film Program and its founding director, Michelle Satter.
The Sundance Institute will remember and celebrate journalist and film critic Roger Ebert by honoring him with the Vanguard Leadership Award in Memoriam, in recognition of his advocacy of independent cinema. He was a frequent attendee of the Sundance Film Festival, where he discovered and supported films such as "Hoop Dreams," "Man Push Cart," "Come Early Morning," "Longtime Companion," "Metropolitan," "The Brothers McMullen," "Crumb," "Picture Bride," "American Movie," and "The War Zone." The first Vanguard Leadership Award went to philanthropist and Sundance Institute Trustee George Gund.

In 2002, the mid-major Kent State Golden Flashes wreaked havoc on plenty of brackets by making it to the Elite Eight in the NCAA tournament. A big reason for this success was the play of forward Antonio Gates. At 6'4″, 260 pounds, Gates had a relatively successful career at the collegiate basketball level by averaging 16.5 points and 7.8 rebounds between his one season at Eastern Michigan and the two that followed at Kent State. He ultimately made First Team All-MAC as a Senior.
The rest of Gates' "career" is now well known as he switched sports by signing with the San Diego Chargers as an undrafted free agent. Since then, he has broken the NFL record for tight end touchdowns within a season with 13 and has been selected to the Pro Bowl five times, three times as a First Team All-Pro.
And now with his senior basketball season behind him, Cleveland State's J'Nathan Bullock has a decision to make. He will widely be considered too small to succeed at the next level on the hardwood. But as it stands right now, Bullock would like to follow Gates' lead and give it a shot in the NFL.
Bullock is very similar in size to the aforementioned Gates, being listed at 6'5″, 240 pounds. Also akin to the Kent State standout, Bullock did not play football in college. Mostly because Cleveland State does not even have a football program, but partly due to the fact that he was focused on his endeavor that lead to 1,800 points scored. In his senior season, Bullock averaged 15.2 points and 7.1 rebounds – comparable to those of Gates. And like his would-be predecessor, Bullock was named to his conferences First Team.
When in high school, Bullock was very versatile on the football field. He played on both sides of the ball including wide receiver, tight end and linebacker. At the professional level, he would obviously be focusing his efforts as a tight end though he loved playing running back.
Many question his ability to translate the game in terms of the ever-discussed "Football IQ." Bullock will graduate from Cleveland State this spring with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Now, as Craig Krenzel showed the world a few years back, intelligence does not always equal success on the football field. However, given Bullock's athleticism and the skill set that he has shown on the basketball court (physical play, soft hands), there is little question as to why Bullock feels he can make an impact in the NFL.
Reportedly, several NFL teams have already contacted Gary Waters about Bullock's future, including the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland State is holding a "pro day" next Friday, and there will likely be several team scouts in attendance. There is little chance that Bullock will be drafted come this April, but the Gates story shows that this is only a minor road block if the ability and the dedication are there. I doubt many fans would be upset if their team gave him a shot.
Sure, the CSU Vikings making the tournament and ultimately upsetting Wake Forest was a great feel-good story for the mid-major program. However, if this tournament bid – and the inherent exposure cast on to the team – results in a professional career of any of the players, I think we can all agree that the fairy tale may not even be complete.

Is your Christmas feeling a little bit safe, ordinary and routine? Are you looking for something decidedly different, or maybe a little freaky? Leave it to The Flaming Lips to spike your eggnog.
Way back in 2008, the tripped out Oklahoma City band dropped their long-in-the-works feature film, "Christmas On Mars." Though the production values on the 16mm, black-and-white movie weren't high, it was just as odd as you might expect, with the movie telling the story of an astronaut colony hallucinating inside a dying space outpost on Mars. The result? As our review from way back when basically sums up, it's an interesting experiment rather than a completely satisfying or fully realized project (which is sorta the case for many things from The Flaming Lips camp).
Still, the Wayne Coyne and Brad Beesley co-directed movie boasts cameos by Fred Armisen and Adam Goldberg (though scenes shot by Elijah Wood and Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock didn't make the final cut) and it might be worth checking out instead of "Home Alone" for the 37th time (as fun as that is). Check out the full movie below. [Consequence Of Sound]

I have two or three co-workers that share the same problem:
They use thunderbird w/ ligntning. Whenever they create an appointment and invite others, my email address is displayed as sender, not theirs. This means I get lots of "Yeah I'll be there" and "Sorry, no time" mails for appointments that I haven't created - and the people making these appointments wonder why they don't get any response.
First I thought it would be a local problem, somehow related to thunderbird, because when creating an appointment from the web interface and inviting others, it works as expected.
But I couldn't find any setting in TB where you could put a different sender address for the calendar. I tried deleting and recreating the calendar in Lightning, at this point I noticed that we're using CalDAV when opening calendars in Lightning. I remembered that the whole DAV thing is based on port 80, so I tried opening the calendar URL in a webbrowser, and now things get interesting. The user name of an affected co-worker is petersen, so I went to http://zimbraserver.ourdomain.de/dav/petersen/Calendar. My username is klostermann, that's an admin account btw.
This is what I got in the browser:
This leads to two questions:Code:Request Authenticated user: firstname.lastname@example.com Current date: Mon Jan 25 13:46:50 CET 2010 Resource Name: Calendar Path: /Calendar Date: Mon Jun 08 11:26:16 CEST 2009 Owner account Id: 31dd8efd-824f-4dd9-b1e1-4af3161633c1 Owner account name: email@example.com Properties ...
1. What the hell? (as in: how can this happen?)
2. Where and how can I change this "ownership" back to the account the calendar belongs to and is stored in?

Police seek assault suspect
By 67AM KPUA News
Police are seeking a suspect in Mondays early morning assault in Hilo that was captured on surveillance video. Officers were summoned to the intersection of Kilauea Avenue and Aupuni Street around 1:30 a.m. where a 51-year old man said an unidentified man punched him while a male companion held the victim down.
He described the pair as local, in their 30s, 5-foot-6, 150 pounds with medium builds and tan complexions, with the one captured on video wearing a hooded flannel print-type jacket and shirt.
If you have any information on the case, call Police at 935-3311.

Most gamers will recall the race controversy sparked by the Resident Evil 5 trailer released at E3 2007. Set in Africa, the trailer showed a white protagonist mowing down hordes of black zombie villagers.
As the long-awaited game draws closer to its March, 2009 U.S. launch, CVG serves up an interview with Capcom's Masachika Kawata, an RE5 producer who says his team had no racial agenda in the game design:
We chose Africa [as RE5's setting] because we're extending the storyline logically. Following the tradition of the Resident Evil franchise, you'll remember from Code Veronica – the Progenitor virus comes from Africa so we wanted to go back to the root of where the virus originated.
For the people who think it's racist… well, we can't please everyone. We're in the entertainment business – we're not here to state our political opinion or anything like that. It's unfortunate that some people felt that way.
We've gone where the story has taken us…

Robot Wrecks
Spanky and the gang discover a demonstration of a "human-like" robot named Volto and are inspired to create a robot themselves to do their chores for them. Slicker Walburn convinces them they will need "invisible rays" to bring it to life which he just happens to have to sell to them. As they rush off to get their money, Slicker gets Boxcar Smith to wear the robot's outer body so when he "brings" the robot to life, it will be Boxcar bringing it to life. The gang unsuspectedly gets their robot to mow the lawn at Froggy's house, but with a signal from Slicker, Boxcar runs amok and mows down everything in his path. Froggy gets to explain what happened to his parents who bust up the fraud and get the miscreants to work with the gang to clean up the mess.

Dancing With The Stars
Dancing With the Stars 2013: Season 17, Week 2 Performance Photos
Dancing With the Stars 2013 spiced things up in Season 17, Week 2 for Latin Night, delivering a dozen memorable performances and one sad elimination.
The Leaderboard had a few shifts, but Amber Riley and Derek Hough are still at the top. Their Jive earned them 24 points, giving them 51 points combined from Week 1 and Week 2. However, Corbin and Karina's Jive (and homage to High School Musical) topped the night with 26 points, trailing just one point behind Derek and Amber with a combined 50 points from both weeks.
As the show ended, Keyshawn Johnson and pro partner Sharna Burgess were eliminated, but were all smiles as they recounted their memories and amazing time dancing together.
To relive the entire episode, check out the gallery of all of the performance and elimination photos (including special guest Julianne Hough!) and then hit the comments with your thoughts.
Catch the next episode of Dancing With the Stars on Monday, September 30 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

All day I have been looking forward to seeing "Wu Xia" (aka "Dragon"): two hours of martial arts set in 1917, although from a Chinese director, Peter Ho-sun Chan, of whose varied output I've seen "Comrades: Almost a Love Story," and the American " The Love Letter," romantic comedies, neither of which demonstrate the skill set of an action director. But it's said to have broken box office records in China, where they know a thing or two about action movies. (Ou sont les Hong Kong films d'antan?)
But reality sets it: it's not due to start for an hour, and I can walk right in to documentary "How to Survive a Plague," which is about the political group ACT UP and how its actions influenced the creation of the drug cocktails that turned AIDS from a death sentence into a somewhat manageable disease.
Footage from the 80s and 90s (i.e. before cellphone video) and contemporary talking-heads interviews with many of the protagonists has been skillfully assembled into a moving narrative of the power of activism. I only quibble with the film's end credits, which might lead the viewer to think that the AIDS drug cocktail has saved the world from the scourge of the virus: the 6,000,000 alive because of protease inhibitors are highlighted, rather than the many more millions who do not have access to the drugs. They've erred on the side of triumph. Even Larry Kramer, whose angry letter mentioning "at least 75 million infections and 35 million deaths" was handed out outside the theater when I saw the revival of his "The Normal Heart" in NY last year, seems uncharacteristically warm and cuddly in his closing onscreen moments.
The Q-and-A is long and involving. I finally exit the theater at the same time as the audience of "Wu Xia" (easily identifiable by the martial arts moves they're trying out on each other).
So much for trying to be pragmatic. Ah well. I can see "Wu Xia" on Monday afternoon.

Funding fears
Will the nation's economic storm zap U.S. charities? While the data won't be in until well after the holiday giving season, the nation's nonprofits are already bracing for a blow.
World Vision's Phillipe Guiton, for example, said his group plans to trim hiring, a move that will likely affect the delivery of overseas aid. "What we are going to do now is to issue an order to reduce spending, to delay recruitment, delay purchases of capital assets, etc., until we can see clearer how much our income has dropped," Guiton said.
Other groups, such as Catholic Relief Services and CARE International, say they're watching to see whether major donors will recover from portfolio shock in time to continue year-end giving at previous levels.
In July, Atlanta-based Grizzard Communications Group, a marketing firm that specializes in promoting nonprofits, surveyed individuals who had made a financial contribution to a charity other than a house of worship in the past 12 months. Among 495 respondents, only 44 percent expected to give at the same level in the fourth quarter of 2008 that they did during the same period last year. Thirteen percent planned to increase their giving, while 29 percent planned to give less or stop giving altogether. Some charities may benefit from a bit of good news from Congress. Earlier this month, President Bush extended the sunset on a philanthropic provision tucked into the Pension Protection Act. This "qualified charitable distribution" permits donors ages 70½ and up to roll over up to $100,000 from a qualified IRA directly to a qualifying charity without counting the donation as income.
Empty hands
The annual report of an Illinois-based service and research group, empty tomb inc., said there has been a general "downward trend" in church-member giving through 2006. The study's authors are calling for a "global triage to treat what ails the church."
"It's difficult to avoid the label of 'lukewarm' when analyzing the church's level of response to Jesus' Great Commandment and Great Commission," said John Ronsvalle, who co-authored the study with his wife, Sylvia.
"The total portion of per capita income given to churches in 2006 was lower than in the worst year of the Great Depression," the authors found.
Helping hand
President Bush recently signed the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act, which reauthorizes state adoption incentives, promotes adoption of children with special needs, and increases awareness of adoption assistance. Tom Atwood, president and CEO of the National Council for Adoption, said the bipartisan law "provides for a wide array of reforms to benefit children and their interest in adoption."
Current law calls for a tax credit of over $11,000 per family per child adopted. The average adoption in the United States costs between $15,000 and $20,000. Adoption advocates hope that this new law, combined with the tax credit, will make the high cost less of an issue for families wanting to adopt.

Quote Exalted Wombat:
Well, I'm sitting a couple of feet from a computer that uses the silencers sold by Scan. It's pretty quiet. It isn't completely silent. I don't think that's ever going to happen, unless you design a computer with completely passive cooling and SSDs. Do you HAVE to be close to it while recording? Mic cables come in all lengths.
Cheers wombat, the noise levels are great for just being in the room, when I'm sat at my desk I can't really tell the computers even on, its just that the room is quite small so my mics are generally quite close and pick up the HDD's quite easily. I try and be as far away as possible and have the mics facing away from the case but for things like acoustic guitar recording its hard to get that studio level of noise.
I've managed to get a scythe 'quiet drive' on ebay for £3, so I'll see when it arrives how much of a difference it could make. I was also thinking of putting the back-up drive in an esata caddy and just turning it on at the end of the day for back-ups.

I never thought it would happen - a local customer finding my shop and desiring a fantasy map for an miniatures game (they didn't even know about Gamer Printshop, they were just checking out the local graphics shop - me...)
Anyway, I'm not sure what the game is yet, but I am creating a 36" x 48" printed and laminated map, using a 3 inch wide hex grid, where 1 hex = 50 feet.
I am creating a WW1 battleground scene for a biplane dog fighting game, that will be used at RockCon (Rockford, Illinois gaming convention).
Once I complete the map design, I'll upload it here for your perusal. Basically its two trenches one side is allied troops, the other the Germans, in between a "No Man's Land" which is where the fighting occurs over. I'll also include some cloud cover too.
Give me about a week for this...

FXStreet (Bali) - Brian Daingerfield and Paul Robson, FX Strategists at RBS, share their views on Wednesday's FOMC, noting that no major shifts in policy are expected.
Key Quotes
"We have long felt, and continue to feel, that a change in Fed guidance and a challenge to its ability to stay credibly dovish will eventually merit a sustained uptrend in the USD. Despite recent improvements in the economic data, we simply do not feel that the FOMC will give an overt signal that their thinking is drifting in that direction at their meeting tomorrow."
"The Fed's preferred measure of inflation, the core PCE deflator, remains well below target even as the core CPI rose to 2.0% in May. Importantly, Fed Chair Yellen has previously signaled that she sees the risks to inflation favouring inflation holding below target even as the economy recovers. Unlike the Bank of England, which showed an increased concern about rising housing market imbalances, the US Fed is more concerned about the recent stagnation in housing market activity."
"The FOMC may ultimately have to adjust its signaling language to put a greater emphasis on the slow pace and lower neutral level of the Fed Funds rate while simultaneously acknowledging that the lift-off may have to begin sooner. This "slower (rate hikes) for longer" rate hike guidance may one day replace "lower for longer"."
"In both cases, central bank dovish guidance may become more difficult to defend as the economy continues to recover. In any event, September appears a more fertile ground to plant those seeds, as it coincides with the final press conference meeting before the taper is currently expected to end. With that in mind, the late-August Jackson Hole speech may be a signaling ground for a guidance update, of course assuming that economic conditions do not vastly deteriorate during the interim."

"The English Speaker"
While most people assume that anything Terrence Malick worked on during his infamous 20-year hiatus was in the early '80s or late '70s and the rest of the time he studied the cloud-filtered light out of his Paris apartment, "The English Speaker" is an unproduced screenplay that comes from the early '90s (a 2nd draft dated 1992 was for sale on Ebay in 2010, but was swiftly bought, presumably by Malick's eagle-eyed team).
1992 seemed to be the year the film industry believed Terrence Malick would be returning (or shortly thereafter); Variety even wrote profiles on his possible return, but of course Malick's indecisiveness and molasses-like pace meant that "The Thin Red Line" wouldn't surface to the public until late 1998.
However, "The English Speaker," known to be a tale of 19th century psychoanalysis, was a project that Malick had been working on even ahead of his ponderous WWII effort. "It's something Terry's been thinking about since before 'Days of Heaven.' But it's new, not one of his old projects," producer Bobby Geisler told Variety in October of 1992 -- Geisler and his partner John Roberdeau of course being the aforementioned producing pair that were notoriously kicked to the curb by Malick after years of nurturing and working with him on "The Thin Red Line."
According to the herculean 1998 Vanity Fair profile with Geisler and Roberdeau, the project was particularly personal and private and Malick would only let Geisler read it. "It's as if he had ripped open his heart and bled his true feelings onto the page," he said at that time. The Vanity Fair article author Peter Biskind said, "it is indeed a remarkable script," describing it as ""The Exorcist" as written by Dostoyevsky."
"Studies on Hysteria" was a book published in 1895 by Josef Breuer (co-written by Sigmund Freud) and "The English Speaker" script was based on their 1880s Vienna studies of famous psychoanalysis patient Anna O, an Austrian-Jewish feminist whose real name was Bertha Pappenheim. A hysteric who became a patient of Breuer's following her father's death, among her symptoms were "absences" — a change in personality, accompanied by "profoundly melancholy phantasies...sometimes characterized by poetic beauty." She also suffered from a form of aphasia; a language disorder where she was able to understand only German, but spoke English, French or Italian while doing so.
Breuer's treatment of her various disorders, his "talking cure" -- which involved the revolutionary notion of speaking to one's patients -- and the accompanying revelation that it could relieve hysterical symptoms, would mark the birth of psychoanalysis, the fundaments of which Freud would make famous (he rightfully credited Breuer's work with Pappenheim as the discipline's true beginnings; Breuer would unfortunately die before he could receive full acclaim).
According to an article in the Museum of the Moving Image, "the title refers to one of Anna's strange ailments in the script: her ability to speak English, seemingly out of nowhere. Eventually, we learn that she uses this as a coping mechanism for the fact that the languages she does speak have become corrupted in her eyes."
"The English Speaker" would also become a pawn in the power play between Malick and his 'Thin Red Line' producers. In the fall of 1996 he demanded the rights to direct "The English Speaker" in perpetuity and if this wish was not granted he would not proceed with "The Thin Red Line, according to the same Vanity Fair profile. Malick had a five-year option on directing the film and at the time, the producers refused to acquiesce to his demands, with even 'Thin Red Line' producer Mike Medavoy agreeing that Malick should buy the rights back or enter into a partnership with them if he wanted it so badly.
It's still unclear who owns those rights. Considering the major falling out that took place on the "The Thin Red Line" between Malick and the producers -- you're really going to have to read this full profile if you want that dirt -- if Geisler and Roberdeau do own the project, hell will probably freeze over before Malick directs it (though money can change the mind of any broke person in Hollywood). If Malick owns it himself, well that's another story....
While "Q" (which morphed into 'Tree of Life') and the Jerry Lee Lewis project (which still may happen one day) illustrate that Terrence Malick doesn't throw anything away, it could be too late for "The English Speaker" as David Cronenberg's "A Dangerous Method" charts very similar ground (Freud and Jung's treatment of Sabina Spielrein, a hysteric with similar ailments that the two vexed partners would try and cure). Still, a Terrence Malick project is like no other and we would assume that if Malick ever does dust off this project -- completely plausible given his track record -- emotionally and spiritually it would no doubt venture into different territory.

England pulled down his shirt. "Ah, It doesn't fit," He complained. France looked at him, "Use one of my shirts," He said pointing to his dresser. England sighed and waddled over to the dresser taking of his to small shirt and put on one of France's to flashy shirts. "I look girly now," England whined. "You look gorgeous," France said wrapping his arms around England's waist softly. England face turned bright red. He rested his hands on France's, "Do you really think I look good?" England asked softly. "Of corse I do England," France said kissing England's neck and making him laughed. "Stop that tickles," England chuckled as France kissed his neck and his cheek casually making his way to the brit's lips. England deepened the kiss.
England smiled resting his head on France's Shoulder as the neared the top of the Farris Wheel. England grabbed France's hand. "France this is a perfect night,"England said. France smiled, "does this mean where a couple now?" France asked. England glared at him, "Don't push it you bloody frog," England pouted. France giggled. "What?" England glared at him. "Your just so cute when you pout," France said. England's face turned red as a cherry he turned away from the Frenchmen.
England yanked France throw the park. Snow hit his face and he giggled. "Hey England," France pointed and England's face turned bright red as he looked at the mistletoe. France kissed him, without a word England kissed back. His heart pounded against his chest as France lied his hands on the Englanders tummy. The babies softly kicked. England slowly started to deepen the kiss. For the first time he felt like his heart was gonna explode. French released his grip around the brit and smiled at him, "So are we a couple now?" France teased. "I said don't push it frog," England grumbled. French let out a sigh thinking he never get England to admit his feelings.
They sat on the bench in the park as the snow slowed and began to stop. England rested his head on France's shoulder and his hand on his stomach, "I look like a blimp," England cried. "No you don't England stop stressing about your looks," France's said. England looked at him. "I'm fat, and Everyone hates me," England sobbed, "Look at I have brushy Eyebrows and I'm as fat as a blimp," England covered his eyes sobbing. France placed a hand on England's back a patted it softly. "It's alright Iggy. And I think those eyebrows are adorable on you," France said softly. England looked at him his eyes still filled with tears, "Re—Really?" England asked. "Yes Really, I love you England. I've Been trying to tell you that forever you never listen," France said finally confessing to England. "I—I—I love you to," England said. England kissed France on the lips softly. France wrapped his arms around his pregnant brit. He smiled at the end of the kiss, "Does this mean were a couple now?" France asked. England nodded and smiled happily.
France carried England into the house bridal style. England had his hands wrapped around the Frenchmens neck. He rested his head on his shoulder and giggled as France kissed his forehead. England smiled happily as France lied him down on the bed kindly. He rubbed England's rounded stomach making him blush. He kissed his stomach and laughed. "That tickles you frog," England laughed France smiled and Kissed his new lover on the lips. England yawned and France lied next to him.
England snuggled up to him and closed his eyes as France wrapped his arms around him and kissed his fore head. "Goodnight Iggy, Night my little babies I can't wait to meet you," He whispered.

Dark Tide Trailer Features Halle Berry And Plenty Of Sharks
By Kelly West 2012-02-15 13:05:21 comments
For those of you who werent already sold by a bikini-clad Halle Berry featured prominently on the poster of her upcoming movie Dark Tide (or DARKTIDE according to the poster), perhaps this trailer will whet your appetite for shark shenanigans.
From the trailer (via Entertainment Weekly), the film stars Halle Berry as a shark expert with money troubles, whos approached by a rich man who wants her to take him into the water to swim with the sharks outside the cage. Given that this is a feat that took her ten years to accomplish, shes not exactly thrilled with the offer...
Honestly, between the Halle Berry bikini poster and the fact that this film is making its grand debut via Video on Demand (March 8), I wasnt really expecting much from the trailer. With expectations admittedly set relatively low, I was a little surprised to find something that might actually be worth a look as a potentially suspenseful, shark-filled movie. Or maybe I'm just easily sold on shark drama.
Regarding the director, while the trailer obviously chose to focus on the two water-related films actor/director John Stockwell has helmed, he also directed the 2001 movie Crazy/Beautiful, and a handful of episodes of The L Word.
Dark Tide will release in theaters on March 30th after its Video on Demand debut. Check out the poster for Dark Tide here.

Legal Permanent Resident
Legal Permanent Residents
Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Legal Permanent Residents
Important Notice for Legal Permanent Residents (LPR): Effective April 16, 2012, LPRs who have lost their green card will be issued a boarding foil instead of a transportation letter. To learn more about this process, please scroll down to question #3.
1. I have been outside of the United States for over one year and do not have a valid reentry permit (Form I-327), may I return to the U.S.?
A legal permanent resident who remains outside the U.S. for over one year without a valid reentry permit has jeopardized his/her legal resident status. If such a person wishes to return to the U.S. as a legal resident, two options exist: 1. obtain a new immigrant visa petition or 2. file an application for a Returning Resident (SB-1) visa.
In order to apply for an SB-1 visa, please email the Consular Section at email@example.com to arrange for a time to come to the Embassy for an appointment to determine Returning Resident status. Please include your Alien number (number beginning with letter "A"), full name and date of birth in your email request for an appointment. At the time of this interview, the applicant must present the following documents: a valid passport, his/her green card, completed forms DS-117 (available here) and appropriate fees. The applicant must provide evidence that he/she departed the United States with the intention of returning to an un-relinquished residence and that his/her stay abroad was for reasons beyond his/her control and for which he/she was not responsible. There is no guarantee the application will be approved, and no refunds are available for denied applications. If the application is approved, the applicant will then be scheduled for an immigrant visa appointment after assembling the regular documentation required of all immigrant visa applicants, such as a medical exam and police certificates. This second appointment will likely be scheduled after two to three months.
When you arrive at our office to make your initial application, please join the queue for pending immigrant visa cases. Please note that completing the process may require a few hours depending on conditions, and you will not be allowed to enter the Embassy with any of the prohibited items listed on our website.
2. I am a legal permanent resident of the U.S. but I wish to remain outside the U.S. for over one year. Is it possible to do so?
Under current regulations a legal permanent resident of the United States (i.e. a person holding a green card) must return to the U.S. within 364 days of the last departure in order to retain status as a permanent resident. If the person has obtained a reentry permit (form I-327), the person must return to the United States within the validity of the reentry permit in order to retain status as a permanent resident. Reentry permits cannot be extended, and applications are only accepted in the U.S. by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. See http://www.uscis.gov/ for more information.
3. I have lost my "Green Card", what do I do now?
If you have lost your green card, the U.S. Embassy may be able to issue you a Boarding Foil (formerly known as a transportation letter) that will permit you to return to the United States. In order to apply for a boarding foil at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, you must submit a completed Form I-90 (available at http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-90.pdf), your passport, a police report regarding the loss of the green card, evidence of the most recent date of departure from the United states (typically a plane ticket/boarding pass), Alien registration number (A-number aka green card number, consisting of A-0 + eight digits). and two recent passport-sized photographs of yourself. Once you have assembled these documents and photos, please contact the Consular Section at firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange for a time to come to the Embassy and apply for the boarding foil.
We often need several days in order to confirm an applicant's LPR status with other offices. When you arrive at the Consular Section, please join the line for pending immigrant visa cases.
All boarding foils issued by our office are valid for 30 days. If your application for a boarding foil is approved and you fail to travel within the 30 day window, you will have to follow the same process to obtain a new boarding foil.
4. I have a valid reentry permit (Form I-327) but have lost my green card or it is expired. May I travel to the U.S.?
Per 8CFR 211.1, an alien in possession of a valid form I-327, Permit to Reenter the United states (i.e. reentry permit), does not require a visa to reenter the United States. Therefore, you may travel with only your valid reentry permit.
5. I am a legal permanent resident of the U.S. While I was outside the U.S., I gave birth to a child. Now I wish to return to the U.S. May I take my child with me?
As outlined in 9 FAM 42.1 N1.1, a child under two years of age who was born of a Permanent Resident Alien mother during a temporary visit abroad does not require an immigrant visa in order to travel to the United States if the alien parent is in possession of a valid Form I-551 (i.e. green card), a valid reentry permit, or an SB-1 visa. The child must be admitted to the U.S. within two years of birth and the accompanying parent must be applying for readmission upon first return after the birth of the child. We suggest that the accompanying parent carry documentary evidence of his or her relationship to the child, including the child's passport and birth certificate.
6. I am a legal permanent resident, but I wish to abandon my LPR status because I am now living abroad. How do I do so?
If you wish to surrender your green card and abandon LPR status, please contact the Consular Section at firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange for a time to come to the Embassy. When you arrive for your appointment, you will be required to present your green card, passport, and a completed form I-407 (Abandonment of Lawful Permanent Resident Status). You may obtain this form here. A consular officer will interview you and accept your application.
If you would like to apply for a visitor visa on the day you surrender the green card, you should schedule a non-immigrant visa interview via our website. However, if you only intend to surrender your green card, please join the line for pending immigrant visa cases on the date of your appointment. Please note that completing the process may require a few hours depending on conditions, and you will not be allowed to enter the Embassy with any of the prohibited items described on our website. We cannot accept Forms I-407 and green cards sent directly to our office by mail.
7. My legal permanent resident relative passed away while in Afghanistan. Can the Embassy assist me in getting a death certificate from the Afghan government so I can claim my relative's Social Security benefits?
No. The Consular Section may assist in obtaining a death certificate from the Afghan government only if the deceased was an American citizen. However, a local attorney may be able to assist you in completing the formalities. Click here for a list of attorneys who practice in our district.

I love layered, complex photos that seem to have tons to say to the viewer. One of my goals as a photographer is to get better at building up those visual layers in my work so that it's more interesting and, hopefully, gives something new to the viewer as he/she comes back to it at various times.
But I also am a fan of simplicity in photos. I think maybe sometimes you can overwork a subject when you should just get out of the way and let something beautiful just be beautiful. I hope that's what I did on the two images below.
I hope you enjoy them. Click on each image for a larger view.

The Awakening
Plot: Set in London in 1921, Florence Cathcart, author of the popular book "Seeing Through Ghosts," has devoted her career to exposing claims of the supernatural as nothing but hoaxes. Haunted by the recent death of her fiance, she is approached by Robert Mallory to investigate the recent death of a student at the all-boys boarding school where he teaches. When students at the school report sightings of the young boy's ghost, she decides to take on the case. Initially, the mystery surrounding the ghost appears nothing more than a schoolboy prank, but as Florence continues to investigate events at the school, she begins to believe that her reliance on science may not be enough to explain the strange phenomenon going on around her.

7. "Negro y Azul": Season 2, Episode 7
Narcocorridos, drug ballads, are a real thing, with bands detailing the latest exploits of the cartels in their songs (which some compare in terms of content to gangster rap) reaching a wide-ranging audience. Los Cuates de Sinaloa are a actual narcocorrido group who in this opening contribute a ballad about fictional but certainly storied Heisenberg, aka Walt. The concept is itself great and presented with no explanation, but the sequence also takes the form of a low-rent music video in which there are goofy wipes, glimpses of a Walt-like figure standing in the background and later appearing dead on the ground, and shots of bloody money and guns. It's both more myth-building in the legend of Heisenberg and another reminder that Walt has no idea what he's getting into, as word of his criminal persona and his product reaches the cartels -- who aren't people you want to have seeking you out.
6. "Half Measures": Season 3, Episode 12
Set to The Association's 1967 hit "Windy," this look into the life of Jesse's hooker friend Wendy (Julia Minesci) is bleak but not without a dark humor. The bubbly music matches not at all with the montage of trick-turning, waiting and meth-smoking that makes up Wendy's grim life at the Crossroads Motel, as she gets in and out of cars with johns, fights with another prostitute over a coat that ends up in the pool, cops a squat by the side of the building to pee and eats some takeout. The accelerated footage that the show likes to use as a stylistic touch (reminiscent of a world on speed) has never seemed sadder than here, as Wendy whiles the day away waiting to be free to do more drugs in her room, bending toward lap after lap after lap (after she spits out her gum), and providing one of the show's rare looks at a life that revolves around meth use.
Walt says goodbye to Skyler and, essentially, to the remnants of the life he's been living at the start of this episode, in which the Whites and the Schraders go under DEA protection while Walt, who knows he's the real target and not Hank, prepares to make a final run at Gus and either take him out or die. The normalcy of their suburban house contrasts with the urgency and barely concealed panic of Skyler's packing and response when Walt tells her he's not coming with her. Once again we see that Walt's at his best when he thinks he's going to die, that it gives him a kind of bizarre nobility -- it's living that he's been less and less good at over the seasons. He owns up to the consequences of the choices he's made, and admits that "those consequences, they're coming -- no more prolonging the inevitable." He seems less Walt the hero and more Walt the fearfully but determinedly responsible here, for once not basking in his martyrdom but instead preparing for action and the fact that he may never see his wife, son and baby girl again. Of course, he does survive -- and is the worse for it. A Walt with no obvious forces up against him is a frightening one indeed. [Watch the clip here.]
Mike Ehrmantraut's extreme but quiet competence is a key aspect of his patient, world-weary character, and seeing him in action -- the businesslike care he takes while never getting pleasure out of violence -- is one of the show's great thrills. In this open, we see smoke puff out into blackness, only to find out that it's actually Mike's breath, visible in the cold of a refrigerated Los Pollos Hermanos truck transporting batter and drugs. The cartel's been testing Gus' transportation system, and a behatted Mike listens as the truck he's in stops, there's shouting outside and then the driver is taken out. Even when the two hijackers spray the truck with bullets, Mike manages to get out barely clipped after taking down the two henchmen, but it's the shot of his face through the light of a bullet hole as he prepares for what he knows is coming, and the exasperated way with which he tries to straightened his mangled ear, that make the scene. [Watch the clip here.]

A rare Washington tornado hit Frederickson, Pierce County, early Monday, whipping up 110 mph winds and causing $25,000 in damage in the course of about 5 minutes.
The twister tore off part of a warehouse roof, knocked over some empty railroad cars, felled trees and damaged a handful of cars in its path, which stretched a mile long and 75 yards wide, according to the National Weather Service.
No injuries were reported.
Meanwhile, heavy rain continued to fall in the Seattle area Monday, topping off the wettest September in the city's history, with 6.16 inches as of 6 p.m., according to the National Weather Service. The previous record was 5.95 inches, set in 1978.

The rain should clear up a bit by the end of the week, though the weekend could bring more showers, the weather service forecasts.
Meteorologist Gary Schneider called Monday's tornado "pretty unusual," especially because it touched down around 7:20 a.m. Most twisters don't occur until the afternoon, when conditions tend to be more favorable, he said.
The tornado sneaked in largely under the radar because it was smaller than some of its counterparts elsewhere in the country, Schneider said. It wasn't the only nasty weather that came Monday, though.
Winter made its first appearance of the season in the mountains, where nearly a foot of snow and rain is expected by midweek.
"People planning activities in the backcountry should be planning for cold, wet weather," weather-service meteorologist Johnny Burg said.
The weather prompted an overnight
storm warning in the Cascades, where 5 to 10 inches of snow is expected to fall, as well as a weather advisory in the Olympic mountains, where up to 3 inches is anticipated. Higher peaks, which are less frequently traveled, could have more, Burg said.
The bulk of the weather came through Monday, and by Tuesday it should be tapering off, Burg said.
And it's still not quite cold enough for snow on the ground to last long.
Even up in the mountains, temperatures are above freezing, and some sunshine expected Thursday and Friday should melt most of the new snowfall, he said.
Over the next couple of days, winds in the mountains could be around 65 mph in some parts, Burg said, although they'll likely calm down by Wednesday night as well. With spotty showers expected, he added, snow and wind levels easily could vary from place to place.
Still, travel may be difficult for those hiking near some of the higher passes.
Winds Sunday night blew a barge carrying a Highway 520 construction crane loose from its mooring; the crane floated toward waterfront homes in Seattle's Laurelhurst neighborhood, stopping 5 feet from a dock.
The barge would have hit the dock, except Lake Washington is only 8 feet deep in that spot, so the structure beached instead.
Wind gusts Sunday night were between 30 and 40 mph, the state Department of Transportation (WSDOT) said.
The crane barge was refastened Monday morning at its job site, said WSDOT construction manager Dave Becher.
The snowy weather hasn't been bad news for everyone.
Crystal Mountain Resort is opening its slopes for a one-day special Tuesday to 75 people who responded to a contest on the resort's Facebook page.
"We didn't want it to go to waste," said Tiana Enger, the resort's director of marketing.
The new snow isn't nearly as much as the resort will get later in the season, Enger said, which can be upward of 600 inches. And because this snow is expected to melt quickly, only about 30 of the resort's 600 employees will work, and the mountainside will be open for only a matter of hours.
Enger encouraged anybody disappointed by missing out on the day's deal to keep an eye on the company's social media, where she said similar offers are announced.
October brings a handful of these storms every year, but winter won't really gain a foothold for another month, Burg said.
"In October we start to get some of this stuff," he said. "The big snows — we don't start getting those until around November."

"But like anything in the realm of computer technology, the video we watch is wrapped up in a morass of jargon and of weird extensions."Video may have killed the radio star, but it's become more than just something that we watch on our televisions. Video is definitely an essential part of the desktop and Web experiences of most computer users. And more than just a few mobile phone users, to boot.
But like anything in the realm of computer technology, the video we watch is wrapped up in a morass of jargon and of weird extensions. If you don't know your .avi from your .mov or .flv, then read on.
When it comes to other kinds of files, we all have a pretty good idea of what a file format is. We know that a Word file is a binary that contains all of the text that we've typed into the word processor, the style information, and graphics too. But the situation is different with video.
When people talk about video formats, they're referring to something called a container format. The container format is a detailed description of what's inside a video file. It describes the structure of the file, as well as the kind of data that the file contains.
The container format also holds information about something called a codec. The codec is information about how the file was encoded, specifically what software (called a codec, not surprisingly) was used to digitally encode the file. This is important, especially for a couple of the formats that are described in this TechTip. Why? Not every media player supports the same codecs. In many cases, you'll need to install a specific codec in order to play a file using your favorite media player.
MPEG is short for Motion Picture Experts Group. It's a standard for both a variety of video and audio formats, and for compressing those formats. In fact, the array of formats that use MPEG compression can be confusing.
There are different versions of the MPEG format (often called levels) which help contribute to this confusion. The three MPEG levels that you're likely to encounter are MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4.
What's the difference between all of them? MPEG-1 is the oldest of these. It was first used in video CDs (the precursor to the DVD), where space was at a premium. MPEG-2 tackled (and still does) the transmission of digital and high definition over digital networks, satellite TV, and (later) the Internet. In fact, MPEG-2 is so efficient that it pretty much killed off MPEG-3 -- it handles high definition video just as well as its descendant. MPEG-4 does pretty much everything MPEG-2 does, but with better quality and compression. MPEG-4 adds another twist to the mix: it supports Digital Rights Management (DRM), which enables content producers to prevent copying of their content.
Note: An upcoming TechTip will look at DRM and its implications.
If you run into any video files with the extension .mpg or .mp4 you have an MPEG file on your hands. It's a popular format because it provides a good tradeoff between file size and quality. Just about every media player supports MPEG, although some players support the format better than others. I've found that it's a rare MPEG file that won't play on the various media players that I use in Linux or on Windows.
If there's a format that doesn't get a whole lot of respect it's AVI (short for Audio Video Interleave). Originally developed for Microsoft Windows, AVI has become ubiquitous across several operating system and on the Web. While it isn't as popular as it once was, it's not rare for you to run into AVI files
AVI files, which have the extension .avi, are often disparaged from a couple of reasons. First, they use little or no compression. That means the file sizes are larger than just about any other format out there. And AVI files often use a variety of codecs to encode them. This causes trouble, because you might not have the proper codec installed for your media player and the file won't play. This is especially true on operating systems other than Windows. It's not uncommon for an AVI to not play on Windows without the proper codec. Windows Media Player can sometimes automatically download that codec, but usually you'll have to search for it yourself.
Since it's an established format with a long history, you'll find that most media players for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux can handle a number of AVI files. The one player that I've found which works best is VLC.
Windows Media Video (WMF) and Advanced System Format File (ASF) were created in part to deal with the shortcomings of AVI.
WMV is a compressed file format (at least, with better compression than AVI) with the extension .wmv. It was developed primarily for streaming video across the Web. Microsoft claims that WMV has better file quality than MPEG. That may or may not be true, but WMV files are generally larger than MPEG files. Often by a factor of two.
ASF, on the other hand, is a container format for WMV. It encapsulates not only the video and audio data for a WMV file but also Windows Media DRM data. All of this is wrapped in a file with the extension .asf.
The biggest criticisms of WMV and ASF are that they're specific to Windows, and that ASF supports very restrictive DRM. As for the first complaint, it is possible to play WMV files on other operating systems. On Mac OS, for example, you can get a player called Flip4Mac WMV which enables you to edit WMV files and convert them to QuickTime. This allows you to play WMV files on not only your Mac but also on your iPod. On Linux, the VLC and xine players can handle WMV files that don't have DRM applied to them. Well, at least most of the time.
And that's the main point of contention with the second complaint. DRM-protected WMV and ASF files generally won't play on other operating systems, or with anything other than Windows Media Player on Windows. An interesting aside is that Microsoft's Zune player doesn't support Microsoft's DRM scheme so you can't play WMVs with DRM applied to them. Ironic, isn't it?
Once upon a time, Flash was used almost exclusively to create demos, tutorials, and annoying splash pages for Web sites. Now, thanks to the popularity of video sharing sites like YouTube, Flash has become an almost ubiquitous video format.
Most Flash video files have the extension .flv or .swf, although you might see the files with the extension .f4p (protected Flash video). Flash is usually used for streaming video across the Internet, and is able to do this quite efficiently because files can be compressed to make them smaller.
The compression can be a bit of a problem, though. The main codec used to encode Flash files is based on bitmap images -- each element and frame in the video is a set of pixels. When pixels are compressed, they become fuzzy and lose varying amounts of color depth. You've probably seen badly compressed Flash videos on YouTube. They're blurry and look washed out.
Flash is more or less a cross-platform format. Adobe Systems, which owns and develops the software that enables people to create and view Flash video, has Flash players for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. On top of that, a number of media players (such as RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, VLC, xine, Gnash, and QuickTime Player) support Flash. Some of these players only support older versions of the Flash format, though.
Whereas Windows has AVI (and now WMV and ASF), Mac OS has QuickTime. You can tell that you have a QuickTime file if you see the extension .mov or .qt.
QuickTime is a compressed format, using a compression scheme developed (and closely guarded) by Apple. This compression scheme is very efficient, and can noticeably shrink the size of a file but without losing much of the quality. In fact, QuickTime files arguably offer some of the best quality video available.
One interesting characteristic of the QuickTime format is that it contains multiple tracks. Each track contains different types of data. For example, one track will contain audio, the second video, and the third subtitles. This separation of content makes a QuickTime file easy to edit.
QuickTime files are usually best played using Apple's own QuickTime Player, which is only available for Mac OS and Windows. You can also download add-ons for Windows Media Player to enable it to play back QuickTime files. On Linux, the MPlayer and xine media players can handle QuickTime although you might need to install additional codecs.
People don't just watch videos on their televisions and computers anymore. More and more, they're watching them on their smartphones as well. Whether it's an iPhone, a BlackBerry, or one of the many phones from companies like Nokia you can get and watch high-quality video on a device that literally fits in the palm of your hand.
One format that makes it possible is 3GPP multimedia. 3GPP (which has the extension .3gp) is one of those container formats that I mentioned at the beginning of this TechTip. It was created to move audio and video to mobile phones -- either from phone to phone via email or MMS, or over the Internet.
Most modern smartphones, especially ones with built-in video capture and playback, will play and record 3GPP files. Like other formats, the quality of 3GPP files varies depending on the resolution of the camera used to capture the video and the compression options that were used when saving the file. Obviously, the higher the compression rate, the lower the quality of the video. I've received video taken with a smartphone that was fuzzy, and video that's been as clear as the best MPEG files I've seen.
While just about any smartphone will play 3GPP files, on the desktop only a handful of media players can handle these files. The best-known ones include VLC, RealPlayer, MPlayer, and Apple QuickTime Player.
This TechTip only describes the video formats that you will routinely run into. There are literally dozens more out there. You can find some basic information about various formats here, or by visiting Wikipedia.

I just posted an Omni Air repaint in the AVSIM library. This is a repaint of Boeing 777-200, registration code N918AX, operated by Omni Air International. Omni Air is a United States charter airline with headquarters in Hangar 19 on the grounds of Tulsa International Airport in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It operates international and domestic passenger charters, as well as wet leasing. Omni Air began operating Boeing 777-200ER aircraft in April 2011 and now has two of these aircraft in their fleet.
This repaint has markings that are much more detailed than the original Captain Sim paints. If you enjoy exterior detail, then you will love this repaint. You can see (and read): Door opening instructions; Static port directions; Air vent warnings; Engine hazard area (English and French); No Step warnings; RAT caution; APU intake warning; Stabilizer compartment access; Interphone jack; Ground power supply; Forward and aft access door instructions; Pitot, ADA probe, Ice detector and TAT probe markings; Visible rivets; Enhanced window frames; Authentic Omni Air markings; Boeing look-alike font; Bold, colorful Omni Air livery (fuselage and engine); Lovely Omni Air flight attendant; No frame rate hit - I get around 50 fps on a laptop.

So we're just about half way through the year, with July looming, and a second 6 months of new film releases coming. With that, I thought we'd take a quick look at what's left, in terms of "black cinema" - feature films that we're certain will be released theatrically in the USA, between July and December 2013. Or, at least, those that we know have distribution, and should be in USA theaters before the year ends.
If I've left any out that meet that criteria (have distribution, have a set theatrical release date, and/or should be out between July and December), feel free to add in the comments section. Although I think we got the majority.
Here's the list (dates are included where available):
Big Words 7/19
The Butler 8/16
Savannah 8/23
Mother Of George 9/13
Baggage Claim 9/27
Best Man Holiday 11/15
Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom 11/27
Tyler Perry's A Madea Christmas 12/13
Twelve Years a Slave 12/27
Those are the films that have definite release dates set.
The list below are films that do NOT have release dates scheduled yet, but have USA distribution:
Things Never Said
The Inevitable Defeat of Mister And Pete
The list below are films that do NOT have set release dates, nor do they have a USA theatrical distributor that we know of, but they have enough of the right kind of industry support, clout, accolades, etc, that they should debut some time before the year ends. They're all already traveling the film festival circuit, winning acclaim along the way. I know a few of them will air on PBS, or some other premium cable TV channel. Others are touring the country via special screenings. But once we have definite release info, you will too:

Rank and organization: Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army Air Corps, 27th
Aero Squadron, 1st Pursuit Group, Air Service.
Place and date: Near Murvaux,
France, 29 September 1918.
Entered service at: Phoenix, Ariz. Born: 19
May 1897, Phoenix, Ariz. G.O. No.: 59, W.D., 1919.
Citation: After having
previously destroyed a number of enemy aircraft within 17 days he voluntarily
started on a patrol after German observation balloons. Though pursued by
8 German planes which were protecting the enemy balloon line, he unhesitatingly
attacked and shot down in flames 3 German balloons, being himself under
heavy fire from ground batteries and the hostile planes. Severely wounded,
he descended to within 50 meters of the ground, and flying at this low
altitude near the town of Murvaux opened fire upon enemy troops, killing
6 and wounding as many more. Forced to make a landing and surrounded on
all sides by the enemy, who called upon him to surrender, he drew his automatic
pistol and defended himself gallantly until he fell dead from a wound in
the chest.

Boston is holding onto the last spot 8th for making the Eastern Conference playoffs after playing a very easy part of the schedule. The Celtics 13-13 record includes two wins against Washington by two points,who were playing without their best player.
Now Boston plays the next 6 of 8 games on the road ,against very good Western Conference teams. The C's would be lucky to finish this span with a record of 15-19.
Boston will not hold off Indiana for the last spot in the playoffs and Ainge and Doc should both be fired. Next year we will have a very old Garnett makiing 11 million and a old Pierce making 20 million,old Terry making 5 million and Lee making 5 million. Boston will not win 30 games in 2014.
Merry Christmas

America always seems to be preoccupied with a trial, usually extensively covered by Nancy Grace. We've had Amanda Knox, Jodi Arias, Casey Anthony, the Michael Jackson case, OJ Simpson, etc. However, something different happened in the Zimmerman trial, which involves two of America's biggest cultural concerns: racism and guns.
When the first case came to light, there was lots of speculation: was it a racially motivated action? Who attacked who? Did Han or Greedo shoot first?
And then came the Twitter retaliation, like that time Spike Lee tweeted the address of a completely unrelated Zimmerman?
Or that time that CNN broadcast George Zimmerman's Social Security Number?
Or that time that an MSNBC guest joked that he may have gained weight to look weaker?
Or that time that the New York Times called him a "White Hispanic"?
Or that time...
At the end of the day, the George Zimmerman trial will not affect most of us in any tangible way. Yet, he media gets all worked up into a feeding frenzy as if it's Shark Week on the Discovery Racism channel, avoiding issues like the larger-than-last-year protests in Egypt. The whole case has been centered around who was at fault, and was it racially motivated.
And then you have things like a Salon article, highlighting the prosecution's key witness, Rachel Jeanther social media activity indicates a non-credible witness on the issue at hand. They cite her photos of her "court nails", smoking weed, and underage drinking, which leads to charges of a racist "smear" campaign.
I'm sorry, if ANYONE did these things, no matter their race, gender, sexuality, etc. there would be cause for concern, especially after Jeantel claimed she couldn't read a letter she herself "wrote". It doesn't matter that she is an African American female, it matters that she has made poor choices and chosen to air them publicly, in the middle of being the main witness for the prosecution in a highly publicized case.
But at the end of the day, there is an infinitesimal chance that someone reading this will have a sway in the verdict of this case. We the People have spent enough time commenting on the situation, but the whole point of the court system is to settle things based on the facts, not based on Spike Lee, MSNBC, Nancy Grace, or your's and my opinion.
But, but...doesn't our criminal justice system unfairly treat minorities?
But that doesn't make it right to go on a smear campaign, against George Zimmerman the (white) Hispanic OR Rachel Jeantel. Leave the Oral Arguments to the lawyers, and save the commentary for things that really matter, like Jennifer Lopez performing for the dictator of Turkmenistan. TYRANNY!

On Our Way To Slowing The Growth Rate?

– $100.4 billion: The amount of federal deficit reduction from 2010 to 2019 due to new revenue sources for the Medicare trust funds under ACA.
– 24 percent: The decrease in Medicare's share of GDP under ACA provisions. Before the passage of comprehensive health care reform, the portion of GDP assumed by total Medicare spending in 2035 would have been 7.2 percent. With ACA provisions, however, this portion decreases to 5.5 percent.
– 7.5 percent: The portion of baseline Medicare spending that will be saved from 2011 to 2019.
The chart:
Of course, now that we've petted ourselves on the back for doing better than pre-reform Austin Frakt would have us look forward and argues that even with these savings, health care costs are still unsustainable:

All of this is a bit daunting when you realize that many of the policies that lead to the reductions in the first graph haven't even been implemented and can even be reversed by weak lawmakers who will undoubtedly face intense lobbying pressure from providers, insurers, and others. Part of that is because the cost-cutting part of the law may not be specific enough. As Tom Daschle pointed out yesterday, "We lay out a very clear 10-year schedule, with great specificity about how insurance reform is going to work…[but] we don't do that nearly as much with cost-containment and with delivery reforms." "I think we could have put into the legislation specific targets and actions that would be required have to do with unnecessary care, in terms of primary care, transparency and even a more ambitious and delineated schedule for HIT, moving away from fee-for-service."
But of course if we want to keep the country from going bankrupt we'll need to keep lawmakers accountable and pave the way for more reforms.
