What is it?
The long-awaited replacement for Microsoft's Xbox 360, which will be going head to head with the new PlayStation 4 in a Christmas console war later this year. It launches in November and we'll have a full review nearer the time, but I had the chance for a sneak peek at the console and a few of its launch titles earlier today.
So this isn't a proper review, then?
Not quite, but we know quite a bit about the Xbox One already and we weren't going to say no to a blitz on a new console and Forza Motorsport 5, Dead Rising 3 and Ryse: Son of Rome.
Jamie Merrill plays on Forza Motorsport 5 on the Xbox One, at the Violin Factory in south London, ahead of the consoles release in November.
Go on, what's it like?
I don't want to get too carried away after such a short test but, well, I'm pretty excited about trying the real thing later in the year. Graphically it seems to have taken quite a big jump forward, and while most of the games I tested were still in beta, they all had flashes of brilliance that reminded me of playing its predecessor for the first time back in 2005. For example, throwing a McLaren P1 round Laguna Seca in Forza 5 really shows what developers have been able to do with the extra computing power. Load and draw times are excellent – the Xbox One is able to draw processing power from the cloud – and little details such as the wear on the car's leather steering wheel are really brought to the fore. And the battle scenes in Ryse: Son of Rome do genuinely have a cinematic quality about them not found often on the One's predecessor.
Ryse: Son of Rome is an exclusive title for the Xbox One that will involve controlling a single protagonist, Marius Titus, as well commanding squads of Roman legionaries.
What's the controller like?
The all-black design harks back to the retro lines of the original black Xbox controller but it has been completely redesigned from the previous generation of 360 controllers. The functions and buttons will still be familiar to seasoned gamers, though, and the biggest update is the new D-pad. That was the biggest weakness in the 360 controller and now it's got plenty more definition and a much smoother feel. A nice practical touch is that you can plug it into the console via a USB cable as well as using it wirelessly – useful for when you've run out of batteries at 3am in the middle of a Call of Duty session.

What about Kinect?
I didn't get a proper chance to test the Kinect motion sensor but from a brief demo it looked far more advanced than the original 360 version. It gets a 1,080p HD camera (ideal for Skype) and can sense things such as whether you are smiling or engaged with the game (useful for voice-command control). It can even work out your heart rate from the colour of your skin and an inbuilt infrared camera. That's certainly a neat trick but I wonder how useful it will really be, and as it stands few launch titles seem to be taking advantage of the Kinect's full capabilities. That said, Microsoft hopes third-party games developers will pay more attention to it in future, especially as unlike the 360 version it is bundled in with the machine consoles. That's something to watch in the future. The firm is also making a big deal of Kinect's entertainment functions.
The new Kinect will come bundle with the Xbox One though Microsoft have been keen to reassure people that they can indeed, turn off its sensors. Photo credit: Sean Dempsey/PA Wire
What about all the entertainment stuff, then?
Yes, there's a lot of that planned. It's unclear exactly which television-streaming services will work from launch but Harvey Eagle, Xbox's marketing director, says that the new machine will support the full host of television and film streaming through the HDMI Pass Through function, and more services will be added over time. He did point out a few neat ways to use Kinect and its voice-control system to navigate easily through the machine's menu system (we didn't get to see this), and this could be something to watch, too.
Should I buy one?
It's far too early to tell. It's a really expensive piece of kit – you won't get change from £600 if you want an extra controller and a few games – and we need more time with the machine to get a full feel for its capabilities and whether the new Kinect really is a step forward. It's going to be a tough battle, though, with the PlayStation 4 already bragging about one million advance orders and a more modest £349 price tag. Watch this space for a more detailed verdict later in the year.

Cutaway picture of the magazine:
1. The guy shooting isn't me. Which means I don't own the mag and I don't know where to get one. Nobody sells them anyway.
2. No, this is not a 45-round RPK-74 magazine. These are longer and slimmer. A 10-second google search will tell you that.
3. For those of you who think the whole video is faked, because they can't see the empty casings, let me tell you something about AK's. One reason for their high reliability is the overpowered gas drive, which results in pretty violent ejection. By the way, this is why the case rim, even though made of steel is so thick when compared to the .223 cartidge and such. Now consider the low quality of the video and if you still expect to see the casings (actually, you can see one of them at 0:05), do me a favour and get back to your video games.

Russia-Ukraine crisis has affected F1 teams
BARCELONA, 9th May 2014 (F1 Plus / Rosie Baillie) - Sauber Team Principal Monisha Kaltenborn admitted that Sauber have been affected by the Ukraine-Russia crisis. "We've definitely seen an effect because a lot of talks which are very advanced have virtually come to standstill because people are waiting and seeing what's going to happen," Kaltenborn said during the team principal's press conference.

Winderman: Draftees wait until 2011, no checks until 2012
Mar 22, 2010, 10:58 AM EDT
As the field of 65 shrinks, expect the field of 60, namely the June 26 NBA Draft, to significantly expand.
While the preliminary results still favor the college game, with Greg Monroe vowing to return to Georgetown and Derrick Favors still undecided on another season at Georgia Tech, figure on plenty of influence from agents and their associates prior to the April 25 NBA early-entry deadline.
The pitch will be simple and to the point:
If you wait until 2011, you may not get paid until 2012.
Oh, there most certainly will be a 2011 NBA Draft. Players will be selected. Teams will introduce their selections.
But then, within days of that process, the league also might shut down.
The sense among NBA insiders is that the issue with a potential 2011-12 lockout is not whether it can be averted, but rather how long it might last. A full season certainly is not out of the question.
So underclassmen who bypass this June's draft could find themselves without the opportunity to earn an NBA paycheck for two years.
Further, by not getting into the league next season, their "rookie clock" also could be reset for an additional season by a lockout, delaying the ability to move off the rookie scale and into free agency or an extension.
Generally, this is when prospects weigh their place in the draft, decide whether giving up a little in 2010 could result in far more in 2011.
Such, apparently, was Monroe's thinking, after Georgetown's unexpectedly swift NCAA Tournament demise.
But what underclassmen will have to consider is whether they can afford to go two years without a pro contract.
Next year, there might not even be an issue, unless overseas or minor-league paychecks will suffice. Staying in school in 2011-12 at least might provide a way to stay in shape.
But in terms of fiscal shape, figure on any player on the fence jumping into this year's pool.
Sink-or-swim time otherwise might not come for two years.
Ira Winderman writes regularly for NBCSports.com and covers the Heat and the NBA for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

I keep hearing a lockout is coming. Is this typical of the human condition or what? We refuse to act untill our heads are being mashed against the wall… and even then.
There is over a year remaining to get a new deal hashed out. Time to act like grown ups and make a mutually beneficial pact PRIOR to the deadline. Not after its already past and it starts affecting everyones lives.
- Alan/Portsmouth RI - Mar 24, 2010 at 9:11 AM
OWNER, by definition, is a proprietor, possessor, holder, landlord, da man….. not one "owner definition" does Webster's Dictionary state prisoner, blackmailee, and/or Santa Claus. I have been both an owner and a serf working for an owner. Here is my both sided take on the situation.
Solution to avert a basketball strike:
Yes, the players are the stars in professional basketball.
Yes, the team of stars make the owners, and the NBA entity, a whole bunch of money.
But, in fairness to us fans, and in fairness to the "possessor owners", make player contracts:
1. Only last one year.
2. Have a base conpensation.
3. And have total incentive bonuses based solely on the individual player's performance for the year's contract.
I, the fan (and I am sure the Owner's will agree), am sick and tired of players signing a 5 year deal worth tens of millions of dollars, and UNDER-PERFORMING the entire length of their contract.
It's easy to fix…..
**Each new contract year, player will tell the owner the stats that the player promises to accomplish in the next season. Player will need to state points per game, assists per game, rebounds per game, etc.
**Those promises of stats will become the player's "base compensation", computed with/against other players "promised stats" at the same position. The average of those stats will be given a dollar value. On a Chinese Menu…… that is column "A".
Someone with Kobe's or Lebron's stats (promises) may add up to $15,000,000 for the season's base compensation.
Incentive: Do better…..get more money in bonuses. That is Chinese Menu column "B".
However, do less…… base comp is goes down.
Fair is Fair on BOTH SIDES.
Players want to be "owners" without any of the responsibilities that ownership entails.
**As an owner….I would have no problem paying a player heaps of money for a stellar season performance.
**As an owner….I would have no problem decreasing the base player comp if the player fails to perform up to his promises.
**As a player….I stand to make a huge paycheck if I play to my ability and keep focused on the entire season….Rookie or not.
I the fan, and I the owner are fed up with big contracts and under performing.
I the fan, and I the player are fed up with being underpaid for a top performance in a given season.
Simplifies the process. No strike.

Thank you

vinyl tile
Thank you
You're gonna be hard-pressed to level the floor if your squares are scattered all over the room. It would be less of a problem (sort of) if the tiles you're talking about are all 'together' / side-by-side, if you know what I mean.
The problem (if any) is you can't get anything (floor leveler included) in the seam where your tiles meet each other. If you do, well, they won't lay FLAT (and/or together.) Any 'foreign matter' between 2 tiles is not what you want. HOWEVER, you can level the floor up to about 1", give or take, from any seam. That way, you won't have the aforementioned problem.
Visit your local Home Center and tell the Floor/Tile folks what you need to do. THey'll get you the right leveler.
My best to ya and hope this helps.

TEAMS: Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Clippers
Let's face it, the Washington Wizards have been the laughing stock in the NBA. Former Wizard JaVale McGee had a big hand in lending to that reputation, Andray Blatche was benched for being fat, Flip Saunders was fired, and to top it all off, their current interim coach Randy Whittman doesn't even know if he will be around next season. About the only bright spot is point guard John Wall. Enter New Jersey Nets' Deron Williams. Williams was recently asked (h/t Pass The Pill) about the Wizards young point guard and being on a team that is sitting at the bottom of the Eastern Conference and had this "astute" observation. Deron on John Wall: "He's had a tough cast down there. I don't want to put anybody down, but he's not playing with the smartest guys." — Colin Stephenson (@Ledger_Nets) Talk about some locker room material, but there you have it. Even NBA players view the Wizards as a joke. Though it didn't take a genius to see that...

2013 Nissan Altima vs Maxima 0-60 MPH Mashup Review
( http://www.TFLcar.com ) The brand new 2013 Nissan Altima and the new 2013
Nissan Maxima are two family sedans cut from the same cloth. Of course the
Maxima is Nissan's top of the line sedan while the Nissan Altima slots
right below the Maxima in both price and performance...or at least so we
thought until we tested both cars in another fun and informative TFLcar
Mashup Review. There's of course no doubt that the Maxima is the more
expensive of the two Nissan sedans. It also can be had with the more
powerful V6 but what about size and performance and perhaps more
importantly which car is the better driver. Check out this video comparison
to find out which Nissan sedan is really the top dog.

more performance and luxury than they can get in the company's Altima

Less pressure on kids to eat may help stem obesity
obese people large fat 311 (R).
(photo credit:Reuters)
Philadelphia, Pa. – An educational program for parents helps to reduce pressure on children to eat—which may reduce the child's risk of obesity, reports a study in the September Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics, the official journal of the Society for Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. The journal is published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, a part of Wolters Kluwer Health.Parents educated in an approach based on "division of responsibility" (DOR) for eating put less pressure on their children to eat certain foods, according to the new research, led by Dr. W. Stewart Agras of Stanford University. The study adds to the evidence that the DOR approach can promote healthy development of appetite and eating behaviors in young children.The study included 62 families with a toddler (aged two to four) considered at high risk of obesity—with at least one parent who was obese or overweight. One group of parents was educated in the DOR concept, which takes a child-development approach to "parent/child feeding interactions." Dr Agras explains, "At the family level parent feeding practices, such as taking control over their child's eating, appear to contribute to childhood overweight."In the DOR approach, parents take responsibility for providing and serving food, while children are responsible for deciding whether or not to eat and how much to eat. "The primary principle is that crossing parent or child boundaries leads to feeding problems," according to the authors. The other group of parents was assigned to the National Institutes of Health's "We Can" program, which seeks to promote healthy eating and increased physical activity.At follow-up, parents educated in the DOR approach were putting less pressure on their child to eat, compared to those taught about the "We Can" program. Two parental factors affected the pressure to eat: "disinhibition," reflecting the parents' tendency to overeat, and hunger or food cravings in the parents. Parents who learned about DOR put less pressure on their children to eat, regardless of their own disinhibition or hunger scores.In contrast, for the "We Can" group, parents with low disinhibition and low hunger scores (that is, less control over eating and lower hunger/cravings) put more pressure on their children. Thus an approach that teaches parents to promote consumption of healthy foods may have actually led to a decrease in positive feeding practices.Parents in the DOR group were less likely to restrict food choices in girls, although not in boys. It may be that parents are more focused on girls' eating patterns, "in line with the greater concern about female weight and shape," the researchers write.Children whose parents are obese or overweight are at risk of becoming obese themselves, possibly because the family environment reinforces "maladaptive" eating behaviors. There's evidence that parents becoming over-involved in their child's eating behavior—such as taking excessive control over their child's eating—contributes to childhood overweight. Excessive parental control over eating may interfere with the child's perceptions of hunger and feeling full (satiety).Although the new study is only preliminary, it adds to the evidence that parents taught the DOR approach put less pressure on their child at mealtimes. A larger study with longer follow-up will be needed to determine whether the changes lead to a lower risk of childhood overweight or obesity. Dr Agras and colleagues add, "Efforts to increase consumption of healthy foods in toddlers should include counseling parents to model eating such foods and not to pressure children to eat them."This article was first published at www.newswise.com

But sometimes life has other plans. Things happen that throw us off track. Or, we do something with the intention of one outcome only to find that something went astray. What do we do at these times? Do we try to force life to follow our plan? This can be a daunting task or it can be amazing!

Otago offspinner Mark Craig has received a shock callup to the New Zealand test squad to tour West Indies after Jeetan Patel was a late withdrawal last night.
Craig and Wellington gloveman Luke Ronchi are the two uncapped test players named in the 15-man squad for three tests in the Caribbean in June.
Patel, currently playing for English county Warwickshire, was originally picked for his first international in 16 months but made himself unavailable for personal reasons.
He told selector Bruce Edgar he wanted to commit to a full season at Warwickshire, for whom he was player of the year in 2013, and also be close to his wife and baby daughter who are with him in the UK. Daniel Vettori (back) remains unavailable as his recent bowling loads are not up to the intensity of test cricket.
Auckland-born Craig, 27, took 22 wickets at an average of 39.72 in the Plunket Shield. He was the best-performed offspinner and the selectors wanted someone who turns the ball away from the West Indies' left-handers.
With Ish Sodhi already there, this would have counted against Canterbury legspinner Todd Astle who was the best spinner in the Plunket Shield with 37 wickets at 30.48.
Coach Mike Hesson said Craig provided a nice balance with legspinner Sodhi, with pitches at Kingston, Port-of-Spain and Georgetown expected to turn and favour the home spinners.
''Mark has had a strong Plunket Shield taking 22 wickets and his right-arm off-spinners will be valuable against their left-handed heavy top order batting line-up. He's been in our sights for some time and was also chosen for our winter training squad."
Openers Peter Fulton and Hamish Rutherford retained their positions and appear to be in a three-way scrap with Tom Latham for two spots at the top of the order.
Ronchi was named as backup gloveman with Latham included purely as a specialist batsman.
''Luke also provides us with middle order batting cover as he's a good player of spin bowling,'' Hesson said.
Jesse Ryder and Doug Bracewell were not considered as they are yet to satisfy the selectors that they have their off-field issues under control.
Meanwhile, test gloveman BJ Watling will captain a New Zealand A side for first-class and one-day matches in England in August. Hesson said the matches would be a good opportunity to look more closely at a number of other players in the build-up to Cricket World Cup 2015.

Amateurs again able to pursue Washington Open Invitational title
Sterling Bank Washington Open returns to traditional format
Special to The Seattle Times
For the first time in four years, an amateur will be able to win the Washington Open Invitational Golf Tournament.
The Northwest Section of the PGA of America is switching back to its traditional format for the tournament this year, which will be played at the Meridian Valley Country Club in Kent, May 20-22.
The tournament began in 1922 and there have been at least nine amateur winners, including Fred Couples in 1978.
Under the format the past three years at Glendale Country Club in Bellevue, entries consisted of one professional and one amateur as a two-man team. Pros simultaneously competed as individuals for the Washington Open Invitational title. The tournament format was successful in raising more than $1.3 million for Camp Korey in Carnation, a camp for children with serious illnesses.
Molly Cooper, who manages tournaments for the PGA section, said the Glendale contract had expired and that there had been "a lot of feedback" to abandon the team competition.
There will be no cut in the 54-hole tournament this year, and the field will be 136 pros (almost all of them club pros) and 32 amateurs. Sterling Bank is the sponsor and the official tournament name is Sterling Bank Washington Open Invitational. This will be the seventh time the tournament has been held at Meridian Valley.
The winner last year was Kenmore product Jeff Gove, who was on the Nationwide Tour and now is on the PGA Tour.
• The LPGA Legends Tour will return for a second year to Inglewood Golf Club in Kenmore on July 28, a Sunday, for a one-day, 18-hole tournament. The one-day Mulvanny Pro-Am, which is closed to spectators, will follow July 29. Nancy Scranton won last year in the inaugural "Swing for the Cure" with a 2-under 71. The event last year drew LPGA Hall of Fame members JoAnne Carner, Patty Sheehan, Nancy Lopez, Pat Bradley and Amy Alcott. Among the other competitors were Jane Blalock, Rosie Jones, Jan Stephenson and Sandra Palmer. An estimated 1,000 attended the tournament. Potential volunteers are asked to contact clubhouse manager Karen Peterson at Inglewood.

Former Aussie cricket coach Arthur rules out England job
Former Australian cricket coach Mickey Arthur talks to the media following conciliation talks over his dismissal in Sydney on July 24, 2013 - by Saeed Khan
The South African, who was ousted just before the start of the Ashes series in England last year with two years left on his contract, said he was settled in Perth.
"That won't be me," he said when asked by reporters if he was interested in the England job, which has been free since Andy Flower quit last month after losing the Ashes 5-0 on a disastrous tour to Australia.
"I'm very happy with the mix I've got in my life at the moment," added Arthur, who has also coached the South African national team.
Arthur was hired as Australia's cricket coach in 2011 but was sacked after the team lost a Test series in India 4-0 and followed it up with a poor showing at the Champions Trophy in England.
He sued Cricket Australia for his job back or up to Aus$4 million (US$3.7 million), claiming there was a deliberate campaign against him and he had no choice but to take legal action.
The two sides reached an undisclosed settlement and he said he was excited to now be working in rugby with Perth-based Western Force.
"Having had an interest in rugby over a long period of time, it's very exciting to be involved with a programme like this," he said.
"Perth is a dynamic, wonderful place to live with a growing appetite for rugby, and this opportunity will excite a lot of young players not only in Perth and Australia but around the world."
He said his role would involve "providing a holistic programme -- rugby, education and careers advice as well as social introductions -- for those hungry for an opportunity and wishing to live their rugby dreams".
As well as nurturing home-grown talent, the "Future Force" programme will also attempt identify young players from abroad, and relocate them to Perth.
"Our first priority is growing the game in Western Australia and the primary objective of the Future Force programme is to broaden our rugby base here in the state," said RugbyWA chief Mark Sinderberry.

Mary J. Blige previously lent her vocals on a remix of Disclosure's "F For You." That sassy collabo was just a taste of things to come. The two acts have joined forces once again. This time for Blige's forthcoming 13th studio album titled The London Sessions. The LP will also feature work from Rodney Jerkins, Naughty Boy, Jimmy Napes and Sam Smith.
"Right Now" is a perfect fusion of R&B and house. It's exactly what I hoped for. With a killer remix this will certainly become a club anthem. I can't wait for what else the 43-year-old singer has in store for us. The London Sessions will be out this Fall. Give "Right Now" a spin below.
Being such a fan of both Sam Smith and Mary J. Blige, I can't believe I missed this video which premiered a couple of days ago. If you're obsessed with "Stay With Me," this is a must-see.
As part of his promotional tour to pimp out In the Lonely Hour, out on June 17, Smith enlisted Blige for a duet of his hit song "Stay With Me." With Mary's powerful pipes, the gospel-tinged ballad is even more soulful. Check out the video below which premiered on Good Morning America on Monday.
"Working with Mary J. Blige is one of the biggest highlights of my career so far. I remember holding her album in my hands in the car when I was a young boy," Smith shared in a statement. "To meet your idols is a magical thing, but to work with them is truly a dream come true."
"I'm so honored to have had the chance to work with Sam Smith. Sam's true soulful voice… is the first of this kind I have heard since Luther Vandross, Freddie Jackson and all the great soulful male voices from the '80s. I'm completely blown away by his talent, soul and the sincerity." – Mary J. Blige
Mary J. Blige spent most of November and December pushing her Christmas album. I'm pretty certain she's grateful to Disclosure for enlisting her for a hot new collaboration instead of singing another holiday yuletide track.
The English EDM duo recruited the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul for a remix of "F For You" off their Grammy-nominated debut album, Settle. Blige's sassy soulful vocals really lend themselves to the uptempo track. It's a surprisingly comfortable fit for Mary. She should consider experimenting with this sound for a future album.
For the accompanying music video, Disclosure not only use their signature rotoscoping on themselves but also on Mary. Watch Ms. Blige get her groove on with the duo while animation surrounds her. The half-animated/half live-action trippy video is a worthy visual for the funky track. Check it out below.
Is it me or did this season feel especially long? Even with lackluster ratings and questionable judging, I hope FOX renews the show for another season. My advice is to keep Kelly Rowland. She was my favorite judge this year. Even her "greatest hits" judging clip on the finale was the best. Perhaps, it's because it featured all the cute guys she hit on during the audition process.
Speaking of the judges' clip, departing judge Demi Lovato wasn't impressed with her "annoying juice" segment. You can see her mouth "that's f**ked up" to Kelly and Paulina Rubio in the bottom corner while it played out. Personally, I think she overreacted. No one believed for one second that she was actually drinking alcohol.
Since I have plans immediately after the finale, I'm going to make this recap short and sweet. Find out the winner below along with some of the performances. Sadly, there was no number as epic as Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera's surprise duet on The Voice, but still a few standouts.
If the promise of Mary J. Blige wearing a platinum blond fro descending from the sky while wearing baby blue wings isn't enough to entice people to the theaters, nothing will. That top right image is everything. Blige along with Jennifer Hudson star in a contemporary adaptation of Langston Hughes' celebrated 1961 play, Black Nativity. The film is scheduled to hit theaters this holiday season in November.
I love me some J-Hud, but let's face it. The 31-year-old Oscar winner shines brightest when her acting roles involve some singing. When left simply just to act, she's a bit awkward, don't you think? Thankfully, the Kasi Lemmons-directed musical features Hudson doing what she does best- getting down with her gospel bad self. She stars as a struggling mother living in Baltimore who sends her son to live with his grandparents played by Forest Whitaker and Angela Bassett in Harlem. The coming-of-age story also stars rapper Nas, Tyrese Gibson, Nasir Jones and Jacob Latimore. Check out the teaser trailer below.
Even though, I think airing two seasons of "The Voice" back-to-back for the 2012-2013 television season is a horrible, NBC is doing it anyway. No wonder they're perpetually in fourth place among the big networks. They seriously need me on staff. I'll whip them back into "Must See Television" shape. Think of me as the Asian Andy Cohen ;) Well enough of my daydreaming, let's talk "The Voice".
For Season 1, Sia, Monica, Reba McEntire and Adam Blackstone assisted the judges in mentoring the contestants. Last time around Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton needed double the star power. Each judge called upon two of their famous friends to advise the singers. Kelly Clarkson & Miranda Lambert (Shelton), Alanis Morissette & Robin Thicke (Levine), Ne-Yo & Babyface (Green), and Lionel Richie & Jewel (Aguilera) were all "trusted advisers". Find out who's on tap for Season 3 below.
Words can't even begin to describe how excited I was to check out this clip. When I heard the hit Broadway musical was being adapted for the silver screen, I was practically frothing at the mouth. A musical set to 80s rock music… what's not there to love? Last week, I was fortunate enough to check out a touring production of "Rock of Ages" and while not the best stage production I've seen, it was certainly entertaining and provided a great soundtrack. With A-list stars attached to the film and Hollywood money funding the project, I can't wait to see the big budget extravaganza.
Directed by Adam Shankman of "Hairspray" fame, "Rock of Ages" tells the story of small town girl Sherrie and city boy Drew, who meet on the Sunset Strip while pursuing their Hollywood dreams. Their rock 'n' roll romance is told through the heart-pounding hits of Def Leppard, Joan Jett, Journey, Foreigner, Bon Jovi, Night Ranger, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Poison, Whitesnake, and more. Everyone in the film from Tom Cruise, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Julianne Hough cover these iconic tracks. Luckily for us (mostly me), we're treated to the first full-length performance from the film.
Mary J. Blige gets the honor of being the first one we get to see belt out the 80s rock music. Given she's sold millions of records, it's a wise choice to show off the Grammy award-winning singer first. Blige plays Justice Charlier, the owner of the strip joint, The Venus Club. After giving advice to one of her girls, Julianne Hough's Sherrie, she belts out Journey's "Any Way You Want It". Watch Mary channel her inner rocker below.
If you asked what film, movie goers were looking most forward to in 2012, most would've probably either said "The Hunger Games", "The Avengers", or the final installment of "The Twilight" franchise. Not for me though. Instead, it's all about the movie adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, "Rock of Ages". The second I heard the film was greenlit, I began counting the days until it hit theaters. Why? I love me my musicals and 80s heavy metal rock. So win-win.
On the Broadway production, it was the music that was the star, but since the film has a stellar roster of talent, it's about the cast. More importantly, who's singing what, especially Tom Cruise. Since Mary J. Blige, Julianne Hough and former "American Idol" contestant Constantine Maroulis are all recording artists, hearing them isn't as highly-anticipated, but for the former "Top Gun", it's a brand new world. Cruise is heavily featured on the soundtrack, singing classic tracks from Bon Jovi, Guns N Roses, and The Scorpions to name a few. Find out what everyone else is singing below, including Alec Baldwin, Russel Brand, Catherine Zeta Jones et al.

Under pressure to quit: MP Eric Joyce banned from buying alcohol in House of Commons after arrest for alleged second drunken brawl
Nigel Morris
Nigel Morris is Deputy Political Editor at The Independent.
Deputy Political Editor
Friday 15 March 2013
The independent MP Eric Joyce was under growing pressure last night to resign his seat after being arrested for the second time in just over a year over an alleged brawl at a parliamentary bar.
John Bercow, the Commons Speaker, announced Mr Joyce would be banned indefinitely from buying alcohol in the 27 places – including eight bars – where it is served at Westminster.
The fracas – which ended with him being restrained by several police officers – looked likely to spell an early end to his political career.
Mr Joyce resigned from Labour last year after being fined £3,000 over the previous incident, but insisted he would continue as the MP for Falkirk until the next election in 2015.
However, both Labour and the Scottish National Party last night suggested he should step down early.
Mr Joyce, who has admitted having a serious drinking problem, also attracted widespread expressions of sympathy from fellow politicians.
A neighbouring Labour MP, Michael Connarty, said Mr Joyce, a former army major, was suffering "combat stress" that had been exacerbated by alcohol and the break-up of his family.
The Tory MP, Sarah Wollaston, who is a GP, said: "Eric Joyce is just one of hundreds of thousands who have lost control of their drinking. Westminster is blind to drinking problems."
Mr Joyce was still in custody yesterday following the altercation on Thursday night at the parliamentary Sports and Social Club where about 150 revellers – mainly researchers and staff – were taking part in a karaoke night.
It is understood to come after a barman told the MP he was not allowed to take his drink to a smoking area outside the club.
An eyewitness, Tony Grew, the parliamentary editor with PoliticsHome.com, said: "Joyce was shoving his way through the crowd quite roughly. From the look on his face it was clear something was going to happen."
Mr Grew told The Independent: "I saw him with two police officers encouraging him to leave the parliamentary estate … the next I knew he was on the ground with them, a bin was knocked over, a policeman's helmet was rolling on the ground. It looked to me as if he had one of them in an armlock. At least four or five more officers turned up and held him on the ground."
Mr Joyce admitted he was lucky to escape jail after a clash last February in the Strangers' Bar in the Commons in which he headbutted Tory rivals Stuart Andrew and Ben Maney, punched Tory councillor Luke Mackenzie and Labour whip Phillip Wilson and swore at police.
A Tory MP caught up in last year's fracas, Alec Shelbrooke, said: "I will be talking about it to a number of my colleagues who were involved last time to see if we want to take it further."
Labour won a majority of nearly 8,000 in Falkirk with Mr Joyce as candidate at the last election. Last night party sources said: "We think the people of Falkirk should have proper representation. There are at least questions about whether Eric Joyce is able to do that."
A spokesman for the SNP, the main challengers in the constituency, said the MP's position was "entirely regrettable". But he added: "Mr Joyce needs to consider his position because the people of Falkirk deserve to have an effective representative in the House of Commons."
His conduct raised fresh questions last night over whether constituents should be given the power to "recall" errant MPs. Under current rules, they only forfeit their seat automatically if they receive a prison sentence of more than 12 months.
Both Mr Cameron and Nick Clegg have backed the concept of recall, but are yet to announce moves to legislate for it. A spokesman for the Deputy Prime Minister insisted plans would be announced by 2015.

Reasonable Hotel/MotelPosted 04-Jul-2014
Pros: Price was good. Quiet location.
Cons: No elevator to the second floor. A slightly moldy smell in our room.
Location: We were visiting the Waterloo Premium Outlet Mall
We needed a hotel for one night in peak summer season, most of the hotels were booked. This hotel worked out fine. Our first impression was that it looks more like a motel than a hotel. In the end we were satisfied with the accommodation and everyone got a good night sleep. Free continental breakfast in the morning added to the good value.

Two queen size beds and quiet roomsPosted 24-Jun-2014
Pros: Queen size beds and free breakfast, even thought is was minimal.
Location: convenient store across the street. Near I-90
For a room with 2 beds, most size is full. I choose this hotel because it had 2 queen size beds. My party had four people and the shortest was 5'7". Full size beds have barely enough room for 2 people. The rooms are insulated, in that I do not remember hearing the traffic or train. I think I it was worth the money I spent.

The boy who joined when he was one and the stay-at-home mom with four guns: Meet the very modern faces of the NRA
- The National Rifle Association has over five million members
- The 2013 NRA Annual Meeting and Exhibits was held in Houston, Texas
- The NRA is keen to show that it is not just men that own firearms
A 12-year-old boy who was signed up when he was aged one and a stay-at-home mom with four guns are just two of the members that make up the National Rifle Association.
With over five million members the NRA showcased a broad mix of attendance at the 2013 NRA Annual Meeting this weekend.
The nation's leading advocate for gun ownership is keen to show that it is not just men that own firearms and oppose gun-control efforts, saying female membership is up.
Young gun fan: Will Marshall, 12, from Okeechobee, Florida has been a member of the NRA for 11 years and owns four guns
Becky Lou Lacock, 58, right, an outdoors and shooting writer from Spring, Texas has been a member of the NRA for ten years. She owns over 50 guns with her favorite being the Browning 243 X Bolt. Left, Alvin Olson from Waseca, Minnesota has been a member of the NRA since 1973 and owns too many guns to count
Mother: Twenty two year-old Eleanor Farrell from Portsmouth, New Hampshire has been a member of the NRA for three months. She owns four guns and looks after her children at home
More than 70,000 people attended the 2013 NRA Annual Meeting and Exhibits at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas.
Leaders of the influential gun rights group, told members that the fight against gun control legislation is far from over, but they vowed that none in the organization will ever have to surrender their weapons.
Proponents of gun control also asserted that they are in their fight for the long haul and have not been disheartened by last month's defeat of a bill that would have expanded background checks for gun sales.
New addition: Kevin Johnson, 60, from Friendswood, Texas has been a member of the NRA for two days. He owns four guns and works in the air transport business
Collector: Forty year-old Roger White, right, a valve assembler from Houston, Texas, has been a member of the NRA for one year. He owns 23 guns. Mark Brewer, 53, a Wichita County, Texas Constable from Wichita Falls, Texas has been a member of the NRA for ten years. He owns 18 guns with his favorite being the Glock 22
No guns: Asher Belles, 39, from Houston, Texas has been a member of the NRA for one day. He doesn't currently own any guns and works as a business consultant
Teacher: Mary Walker, 54, from McAllen, Texas has been a member of the NRA for ten years. She owns 1 gun, a 9mm Glock and works as a teacher. Kyle Munson 34, a shipping specialist from League City, Texas has been a member of the NRA for twenty five years. He owns 25 guns with his favorite being the Wilson .38 super
Forty one year-old Jason Ohn, a database developer from Houston, Texas, has been a member of the NRA for two years. He owns over 20 guns. Right, Billie Wheeler, 18 a college student from Burnet F, Texas has been a member of the NRA for two years. She owns six guns with her favorite being the Franchi 12 gauge shotgun
The National Rifle Association
convention comes as debate over gun control legislation in the U.S. has
reached a fever pitch in the wake of December's mass shooting at Sandy
Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in which 20 young
children and six educators were killed.
The NRA had a major victory regarding
gun control last month when an expanded background checks bill
supported by President Barack Obama and other lawmakers in response to
the Connecticut shooting failed to pass in the Senate.
But the group lost ground in some
places as several states passed laws expanding background checks and
banning large ammunition magazines.

Acres of displays of rifles, pistols, swords and hunting gear could be found inside the convention hall
On display: Vintage handguns are displayed. More than 70,000 people attended the NRA's 3-day annual meeting that featured nearly 550 exhibitors, a gun trade show and a political rally
Vow: Leaders of the National Rifle Association, an influential gun rights group, told members that the fight against gun control legislation is far from over
Defeat: Proponents of gun control also asserted that they are in their fight for the long haul and have not been disheartened by last month's defeat of a bill that would have expanded background checks for gun sales
During a fiery and defiant speech
Saturday, Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre, the public face of
the NRA, said the 'political and media elites' have tried to use Sandy
Hook and other recent shootings 'to blame us, to shame us, to compromise
our freedom for their agenda.'
He said the proposed bill 'got the defeat that it deserved' and that the measure would do nothing to prevent the next mass shooting.
'We will never surrender our guns, never,' LaPierre told several thousand people during the organization's annual member meeting, which is part of the yearly NRA convention being held this weekend in Houston.
Acres of displays of rifles, pistols, swords and hunting gear could be found inside the convention hall.
James Porter, the incoming NRA
president, said Obama's gun control efforts have created a 'political
spontaneous combustion' that has prompted millions of Americans to
become first-time gun owners and created a national outrage that will
manifest itself in next year's midterm elections.
Hidden: A bra holster is displayed on a manikin at an exhibit booth
Female pull: A pink assault rifle hangs among others at an exhibit booth. The NRA is showcasing women members and emphasizing that increasingly it's not just men who own firearms and oppose gun-control efforts
'The Senate and House are up for grabs,' Porter said during Saturday's meeting.
'We can direct this massive energy of spontaneous combustion to regain the political high ground. We do that and Obama can be stopped.'
LaPierre said the NRA now has a
record 5 million members, but he urged for increased membership and
added that it 'must be 10 million strong' in its battle against gun
Meanwhile, across the street from the
convention, advocates of expanded background checks and other gun
control measures vowed to continue their fight.
Kellye Bowman of the Houston chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a national grassroots effort promoting gun control that was started after the Sandy Hook shooting, said her organization was not discouraged by last month's failure of the gun control bill. She said its defeat actually increased her group's membership.

Bowman, who described herself as a

among more than 60 protesters who had gathered Saturday afternoon across

Navy: Anyone want keys to the Castle at Portsmouth shipyard?
"The Navy seeks to competitively select a developer to lease the premises," the Navy announced. "The developer selected by the Navy will develop, operate and maintain a facility compatible with shipyard operations."
The multi-story, reinforced concrete structure could be costly to repair. The floors are buckled, pipes are broken and wires dangle inside the building. A developer would have to remove the asbestos, lead paint and deal with any other environmental issues.
"The developer shall be fully responsible for the entire premises, including, but not limited to, ensuring the structural stability of Building 93 in its entirety, the removal, disposal and remediation of all hazardous materials present in and/or on the premises," the announcement states.
The former prison was featured in "The Last Detail" with Jack Nicholson, who portrayed a Marine Corps "chaser" who would be condemned to serve out a prisoner's sentence if he allowed him to escape.
