"In today's competitive economy, it is increasingly difficult for companies to find unique, effective and legally available names. Unlike most naming firms, Zenmark takes a disciplined, engineering-based approach that achieves the highest quality creative product with an intense screening process. This process assures that Zenmark's clients are presented with high-quality choices that have the highest legal likelihood of being available to put into use. ... Our engineered approach combines art with science, which is entirely new to naming. By adding scientific scrutiny to the process of legal analysis, linguistic assessment and market testing, it gives clients more confidence that the names they ultimately choose will be the ideal vessels for their verbal identity and the most solid infrastructure for building brand equity".The IPKat raises a quizzical whisker at this. He recalls that Interbrand was using computers to aid its generation of brands back in the 1980s (when Interbrand was still called Novamark) and wonders how Zenmark claims to have made an advance over the prior art. Snark Hunting lists some names created by Zenmark together with those of some of its competitors ("The names of the naming companies are in bold; the names each has created using their own process are not so bold") and adds:
"On what evidence will the patent office decide that Zenmark Brand Engineering, Inc. has a process that is uniquely different than its competitors? By asking all of the naming companies listed above to supply their processes for comparison? Unlikely. Surely not from comparing the resulting names, as that would lead anyone to the conclusion that all of these naming companies have exactly the same process in place".Some Zenmark names here: Amicore, Afaria, Applimation, Azenity, Certiport, Coalogic, Palaterra, Phyve.

Miami's Top Ten Barbecue Restaurants: Dry Rubs, Jerks, and Ponies

Oh barbecue, how we love to suck your bones. |
While Miami is almost as far south as one can get in the contiguous 48 states, it's really not considered the South (which is home to what's known as "real barbecue"). Nor is our city part of the Midwestern and Western barbecue capitals of St. Louis and Texas.
But don't let this discourage you from seeking a nice juicy rack (and we're not talking about the kind found on the beaches, either).
Miami has its share of people willing to take the time to smoke their meat low and slow. You just have to know where to look. Here's a list of our ten favorite old-fashioned, down-home American barbecue joints. Just remember to wear clothes you don't mind getting smeared.

10. Austen's Q
The third barbecue joint in this location, on the corner of 16th Street and Washington Avenue in Miami Beach, proves to be a charm for the space that housed Hogzilla and Barbeque Beach before it. Austen's Q slow-cooks its proteins low and slow. We're talking pork, chicken, and beef cooked in a wood stove at 200 degrees for 24 hours. This is clearly not barbecue for folks in a hurry. Plus, it's the only place for decent 'cue in SoBe.

9. Mad Man Jack's
Chef-owner Michael Herran saw the need for a good place to get inexpensive barbecue in Miami and ran with it. Mad Man Jack's, named for the man who taught him how to fish, fits the bill with slow-cooked meats and homemade sauces and marinades. Spare ribs cooked low and slow are $9 for a third rack, $14 for a half rack, and $25 for a full rack of meaty goodness. A pulled-pork sandwich to die for is only $7. Slow food at fast-food prices? This guy must be as mad as his name implies.
8. People's Bar-B-Q
This Miami institution has been smoking meat over oak wood since 1962, which is probably longer than your mother has been alive. Just off I-95 in Overtown, People's Bar-B-Q proffers down-home Southern barbecue at its finest. Loosen your belt and dig into ham hocks ($8.50), a slab of ribs ($23), barbecued chicken ($16), and barbecued beef ($8). Leave room for sides such as macaroni 'n' cheese ($1.50), collard greens ($1.50), black-eyed peas ($1.50), and candied yams ($1.50), before they wheel you out in a food coma.
7. Bulldog Barbeque
Top Chef alum Howie "Bulldog" Kleinberg's little barbecue shop in Aventura might look a bit too suburban and clean to house the kind of 'cue that sets your heart aflutter. But don't sell Bulldog Barbeque or the chef short, because his operation is neat and well lit. St. Louis-style ribs are messy, sweet, and tangy ($7 to $22), while beef brisket falls apart in your mouth like bovine cotton candy ($11 to 19). A barbecue platter with three meats and cornbread ($24) is plenty to share, and the place is attractive enough to bring a date or your mom -- as long as she's a carnivore.
Laine Doss |
6. Tobacco Road
Sure, it's Miami's oldest roadhouse. Of course, it's the place to hear great live music and get your drink on until early the next morning. But did you know Tobacco Road also smokes its own meat out back? See? You have newfound respect for "the Road." A 12-hour smoked brisket platter ($10.95) and St. Louis-style ribs ($13.95) come with your choice of potato. Wash it all down with a few bourbons and you have a great meal in the most iconic setting in Miami. Rock on!
5. Shorty's Bar-B-Q
Say what you will about Shorty's Bar-B-Q -- that it was better before "the fire," that you've had "more authentic" barbecue at your cousin Carol's wedding in North Carolina. But Shorty's and Miami go together. Period. Say something bad about this place and you've dissed the part of South Florida that still rejects neon lights, Pitbull, and breast implants. Shorty's has been around since 1951, surviving hurricanes, recessions, and fires. Plus, you can still get a barbecue brisket plate with sides for $10.79. Got a gripe about Shorty's? Just stuff your face with some sliced pork ($8.49) and shut up already.
4. Shiver's BBQ
To get to Shiver's BBQ, just drive south on South Dixie Highway. Way south. Like, next-stop-Florida-Keys south. Is the drive to Homestead worth it? You bet your pork it is. For the past 50 years or so, people who are serious about their meat have flocked to this wagon-wheel-decorated shrine to barbecue. Go Tuesday or Wednesday for all-you-can-eat barbecued beef or pork for only $9.49. Go any day you have a hankering for ribs -- pork spare, baby-back, or beef. Can't decide? Order a trio of ribs for $17.95, which includes two sides such as coleslaw and beans. Order extra Shiver sauce ($3.95), because you'll want to pour it, dip it, drink it, and bathe in it before the evening is over.
3. Harvey's Smokehouse BBQ
Down Old Cutler Road in Cutler Bay you'll find a mecca of Southern cooking, Harvey's Smokehouse BBQ. Chef-owner Harvey Alexander gets off on rubbing his meat. Make every dirty joke you want, but Alexander has his own method that produces the some of the best barbecue you've ever tried. Taking the best from every school of barbecue, Alexander first wet-rubs, then dry-rubs, and then smokes his meat. The result: fall-off-the-bone goodness to die for. Go with a few buddies (or a major appetite and a medical insurance card) and dig into the smokehouse sampler. For $50, you'll get a full rack of baby-back ribs, a whole
chicken, a pound of pulled pork, a pound beef brisket, a large side of mac 'n' cheese, a large side of baked beans, a large coleslaw or potato salad, and six pieces of Texas toast. Defibrillator not included (but what a way to go).

2. Bo Leg's Barbeque
There's no other place on our list where you can eat ribs and clean your clothes at the same time. Bo Leg's Barbeque, the mobile pit located in the parking lot of the Foxy Lady Laundromat in North Miami holds that distinction. Which might actually be serendipitous when you get barbecue sauce all over your shirt and tie. There are two lines -- one for pork and one for jerk chicken -- and both are long. Sometimes you'll wait a half-hour. Sometimes the wait is longer. Who cares? With platters around ten bucks, and the intoxicating scent of cooking animal flesh caressing you, simply bring your laundry, get in line, and take comfort in knowing you're accomplishing a hated household chore at the same time you're sating your appetite. Open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. until the last rinse cycle.
1. The Pit Bar-B-Q
Built in 1965 as a tourist trap for visitors on the way to view wildlife in the Everglades, the Pit offers a giant chickee hut as shelter for the hundreds of families who travel from all over Miami-Dade to chow down on ribs ($14.99) cooked low and slow over an open pit stoked with black oak wood. Live music, karaoke, and Latin American favorites make this spot a mishmash of craziness. Throw in real ponies (to ride, not to eat), and this place is so old-school Miami kitsch that it's impossible not to name the Pit number one for barbecue in Miami.

The last frontier' cosmopolitan' outback' all these words are used to describe the dusty outback town of Coober Pedy' but perhaps the simplest is 'unique'. Located on the Sturt Highway' in the arid centre of the State' Australia's largest opal mining town is perhaps as well known for the unusual underground accommodation favoured by its residents as for its opals. The dugouts' as they are known' enable miners and their families to escape from the searing summer heat above ground. Most are as large as conventional houses and furnished in the same manner.
Visitors from all over the world come to see this unusual community where opal mining' underground mining museums' mine tours and opal cutting demonstrations are main attractions. The name Cooper Pedy is believed to have been derived from the Aboriginal words 'kupa' and 'piti'. Kupa means 'uninitiated person' or 'white man' and piti means 'water-hole'' 'hole' or 'burrow'' therefore 'white man's hole'.

Physicians must be considered as Neutral in Armed Conflicts and Civil Unrest
(15.10.2011) Physicians and other health care personnel must be considered as neutral in armed conflicts and situations of violent civil unrest, the World Medical Association declared in a statement today. They must not be prevented from fulfilling their ethical, moral and professional duties.
At its annual General Assembly in Montevideo, Uruguay, the WMA said that hospitals and other medical facilities had frequently been attacked and medical personnel had been killed or wounded. Yet warring parties had a duty not to interfere with medical care for wounded or sick combatants and civilians, and not attack, threaten or impede medical functions.
The meeting called for the appropriate international bodies to start collecting data about assaults on physicians, other health care personnel and medical facilities in armed conflicts. It also suggested the setting up of a new United Nations post of Rapporteur on the independence and integrity of health professionals.
Dr. Mukesh Haikerwal, chair of the WMA, said: 'These attacks on physicians put people in need of help in great danger and can lead to the flight of physicians and other health personnel from the conflict areas.
'It is surprising that at the moment no-one is responsible for collecting data about assaults on medical personnel and facilities. We want to change that. We believe that all attacks must be properly investigated and those responsible for the violations of the Geneva Conventions and Protocols must be brought to justice.'
The new rapporteur being proposed by the WMA would have the task of ensuring that doctors were allowed to move freely and that patients had access to medical treatment, without discrimination as to nationality or ethnic origin, in war zones or in situations of political tension.

According to some people, 2012 is supposed to be a year of transformative events. Well I don't know about astronomical alignments, the Mayan calendar and all that, but for us oceans campaigners, 2012 is definitely significant – for 2012 is the year by which the world's governments should have committed to a global network of marine protected areas. The shocking thing is that for all the fine words, currently our oceans are unprotected: only a mere 5.9percent of national waters and just 0.5percent of international waters are set aside as off-limits to destructive fishing, energy exploration and other industrial threats, leaving the vast majority open to plunder. While it may not be the end of the world just yet, scientists from the Census of Marine Life and IPSO have been warning us that the oceans and the wonderful array of marine life they hold cannot withstand our pressures forever.
In order to address this sad state of affairs, Greenpeace has drawn up an Emergency Oceans Rescue Plan and is campaigning to ensure the world's governments live up to their promises and put in place the steps to create a global network of marine reserves. While the Arctic Ocean and some other areas of the high seas totally lack any means by which to establish marine reserves and protect marine life there is one area where efforts are being made to provide adequate protection – the Southern Ocean.
These icy waters that surround Antarctica are home to some of the most extraordinary creatures on earth, including blue whales, emperor penguins and giant polar sea spiders. These waters are some of the most pristine on the planet and the Ross Sea in particular is almost unique in having a full complement of top predators, while in most parts of the world's oceans up to 90 percent of the top predators have been removed by overfishing. Unlike other areas of our oceans, there are fairly comprehensive rules as to what activities may take place in the waters around Antarctica. This is thanks to the existence of a body created specifically to manage these fragile and unique waters: the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), a key component of the Antarctic Treaty System. Most importantly, CCAMLR rules enable the Commission to establish MPAs and marine reserves and the Commission has set itself the task of creating a set of proposals for protected areas by 2012 in line with the global target.
This is a unique opportunity for the member countries of CCAMLR to set a fantastic precedent by establishing a comprehensive network of marine protected areas throughout the Southern Ocean and show the rest of the world what can be done to protect the high seas if only there is the political will. Because governments do not always have that commitment, Greenpeace and other groups have come together as the Antarctic Ocean Alliance (AOA) to ensure that areas such as the Ross Sea are given the protection they so desperately need.
Today is the official launch of the AOA as well as the publication of an expert report on why the Ross Sea should be included in a future Southern Ocean marine reserve network.
Among the supporters of the AOA are Hollywood actor Ed Norton, and the preeminent marine biologist and oceanographer Sylvia Earle, seen here in a video about the importance of the Antactic region to our world:
You too can join Ed, Sylvia and the Antarctic Ocean Alliance in calling for protection of the one-of-a-kind Antarctic waters by adding your name to the AOA petition and joining the "Watch" of CCALMR to be sure delegates protect Antarctica's amazing marine environment.
P.S. Over the coming months, our team of oceans paramedics will be reporting from around the world, from Rio to the Arctic, letting you know which countries are coming to the aid of the oceans and which aren't.
Richard Page is an oceans campaigner and coordinator of Greenpeace's global marine reserves campaign, based in the UK.

You know those cute little kids who knock on your door and ask you to buy some card that will save you money for restraunts and whatnot. Well, I wish I could say I'm a cute little kid, but thing is, I ain't cute (or at least no one has ever told me I am) and I'm certainly not little. I'm six foot tall people!
Point is, I've been doing one of these fundraisers lately. You're probably familiar with the BSA, and their Boy Scout popcorn. That's what I've been trying to sell lately. Thing is, I've always been bad at fundraisers. I smile, ask the nice folks how they're doing, try to make them laugh here and there, but I never sell much of anything. I'm just not good at it.
I don't think it helps that I am NOT a people person. I'll talk with you just fine in an online network like IGN or Facebook, but in person...that's a whole new story. That and, rule of thumb when selling things...the tinier you are, the more you sell. It's no wonder those Cub Scouts get it easy. Going back to talking to people face-to-face, it's really bad when women are around. Doesn't matter if they're 16 or 66 years old, they always make me nervous. Funny thing is, that's half the customers in my case. Anyway...yeah, I think I've made point.
This reminds me of a Jimmy Neutron moment. You know, the one Nickelodeon cartoon? Boy genius? Ring a bell? He himself has tried selling things before (In the episode, birth of a salesman), but didn't get anywhere, at least not until making that robot, but that just added to his problems in the end (as usual). I have no video to show to remind those who forgot that moment, but remember everyone closing the door on him? To a degree, that's sort of happened to me as well.
I ain't crying about how well I stand in the "go-door-to-door-sell-stuff" thing, I'm just saying, it's not exactly a favorite activity of mine, and I listed the reasons why.

The first Gato Libre release since the passing of bassist Norikatsu Koreyasu, adding trombonist Yasuko Kaneko alongside leader Natsuki Tamura on trumpet, Satoko Fujii on accordion, and Kazuhiko Tsumura on guitar, for eight beautiful, melodic "free cat" recordings. |

sample the album:
"Norikatsu Koreyasu's sudden passing in September of 2011 set the Gato Libre quartet adrift but eventually, the Japanese improvised music combo found a viable replacement for him. The thing is, Gato Libre leader and trumpeter Natsuki Tamura isn't a musician who does things conventionally, and he didn't do so here, either. Thus, the late bassist has been replaced by trombone player Yasuko Kaneko. Tamura is also shrewd enough to modify the music to fit his newest member, and Gato Libre's first album of its rebirth as a two-horn ensemble. DuDu - out May 27, 2014 on Libra Records - is a portrait of a smooth, successful transition. Gato Libre, which means roughly "free cat" in Spanish, has always maintained a rustic, graceful Iberian essence in its music, courtesy of Satoko Fujii's accordion and Kazuhiko Tsumura's nylon string guitar. Tamura's impassioned, desolate trumpet tone slides right into that temperament, and even when he stretches beyond tonality, as he's often apt to do, he somehow manages to maintain that vibe. Now, he's got a partner in crime and though Tamura's footprint has expanded perhaps a little, Kaneko's trombone provides a viable brass counterweight to his own horn. Kaneko takes over Koreyasu's spot but not his role; she deploys the wide resonance of the trombone to add color to these songs that unfold, not simply played. For "DuDu," Kaneko's contribution is seemingly minor but crucial: she launches a three-not ostinato that sends the song into a new direction after Tamura's graceful lead that introduces the title song gives way to Fujii's solo accordion breathing shorter and faster. Kaneko gets her first lead opportunity on the next track, "Gato," expressing the desolate opening statement. She then gets to open up her luscious articulation, and Tamura counters with his signature noteless puffs on his trumpet. In Gato Libre, you have to be able to play with both great restraint and total abandon in equally large measures. The group slams on the brakes during the course of playing of the bleak, tempered "Nanook" so that Tamura and Kaneko can engage in a chase for impossible notes. "Mouse" is even more episodic, going from the solemn guitar of Tsumura to the plunged trombone of Kaneko sparring with Fujii's abrasive accordion to ending with Tamura's skittering trumpet with Kaneko chasing close behind and coalescing around a brief, Cossack statement. Amid these outbursts of free playing are plenty of moments of quiet beauty; for example, Tamura's stellar trumpet lead lifts "Rainy Day" through both his intonation and personal way of expression. It was undoubtedly not an easy decision to carry on with Gato Libre after the loss of a key member, but DuDu assures us that it was the right decision."-S.

Asia Research Centre and Department of International Development Public Lecture
Speaker: Amartya Sen
Chair: Craig Calhoun
When India became independent in 1947 after two centuries of colonial subjugation, it immediately adopted a firmly democratic political system, with multiple parties, freedom of speech and extensive political rights. The famines that had been so common in the colonial era disappeared, and steady economic growth replaced the almost complete stagnation characteristic of the long rule of the Raj. The growth of the Indian economy, which has quickened over the last three decades, became the second fastest in the world. Despite a recent dip, it is still one of the highest among nations.
Maintaining rapid as well as environmentally sustainable growth remains an important and achievable goal for India. In this lecture, based on his new book written with Professor Jean Drèze, An Uncertain Glory, Sen will argue that the country's main problems lie elsewhere, particularly in the lack of attention that is paid to the essential needs of the people, especially the poor. One of the biggest failures has been the very inadequate use of the public resources generated by economic growth to expand India's lagging physical and social infrastructure (in sharp contrast, for example, to what China has done): there is a continued inadequacy both of social services such as schooling, medical care and immunization, and of physical services such as the provision of safe water, electricity, drainage and sanitation. Even as India has overtaken other countries in its rate of growth, because of these inadequacies it has, the book shows, fallen behind many of the same countries - often very poor ones - in quality of life.
Because of the importance of democracy in India, addressing these failures will require not only significant policy rethinking by the government, but also a better public understanding of the abysmal extent of social and economic deprivations. The deep inequalities in Indian society tend to constrict public discussion in India's vibrant media to the lives and concerns of the relatively affluent. Dreze and Sen argue that if there is to be more effective democratic practice, there has to be a clearer understanding of the severity of human deprivations in India.
Professor Amartya Sen is Lamont University Professor, professor of Philosophy and professor of Economics, at Harvard University. He is an honorary fellow of LSE. Amartya won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1998 and was master of Trinity College, Cambridge, 1998-2004. His many books include Development as Freedom, Rationality and Freedom, The Argumentative Indian, Identity and Violence and The Idea of Justice.
Professor Craig Calhoun is Director of the London School of Economics.

Quilted Postcards
Our Sunday afternnoon monthly meeting, after an hour of Show and Tells and a presentation of a baby quilt to our new mama president Beth, was devoted to Quilted Postcards and a huge success, thanks to member Sue Ryan. She provided us with the basic supplies and primed our creative pumps. And then we were off and creating. Here's just a handful of what we did. Sue did warn us that these little postcards are addictive. I fear she's right. Thanks, Erika, for the picture!

Unfocused F Ring
[For trouble viewing the images/movies on this page, go here]
Alliance Member Comments
DEChengst (Apr 9, 2007 at 10:29 AM):
Yeah it's pretty cool to see the changes in the F-ring. One time I did a simple animation with F-ring pictures all taken during a single fly-by. Makes them really come alive :)
Red_dragon (Apr 3, 2007 at 3:59 AM):
While these images are not so stunning as other views of Saturn, they're still very interesting to see as they show how the ring system is "live" and changes and evolves with time. I've seen estimations about the lifetime of the ring system and, certainly, we've been fortunated to live on an epoch of the history of the solar system where we can see something so majestic as Saturn's rings.

The deal was sold to New Mexicans in classic Richard Branson fashion. If taxpayers would build the colorful British businessman a $209 million futuristic spaceport, he would make New Mexico the launching point for a space tourism business catering to the rich and famous. Now, with Spaceport America nearly complete but still mostly empty, a Virgin Galactic official says the company will reassess its agreement if lawmakers don't pass liability exemption laws for its suppliers, raising the possibility it could take its spacecraft elsewhere. And state officials acknowledge that the company - which has yet to post a deposit for what is supposed to be a $1 million-a-year lease - could walk away from the quarter-billion-dollar project. Paul Gessing, president of the conservative Rio Grande Foundation, said the lack of protections for the state was not surprising, "given the Richardson administration's record of throwing money at 'development' of these big vision projects" like the spaceport and a $400 million commuter train. "What is truly unique about this project is that it was completely, 100 percent speculative," he said. Tourism and spaceport officials have estimated as many as 200,000 people a year will visit the first-of-its kind center. And officials promised it would spur economic development and bring high-paying jobs to the mostly rural state. But other space companies have passed New Mexico over and there is growing skepticism about whether Virgin, which has pushed its estimated date for starting flights from 2011 to 2014, will ever move into the spaceport...more
Maybe Bason can get Interior to do some of those "high-flow" releases on the Rio Grande. That way folks could raft down the river and take pictures of the abandoned Spaceport.
One source tells me Bason is negotiating to acquire a $209 million barn to house his Bason Burro Bodyguards and Bason Organic Beef operations. The source said the delay is caused by Richardson, who hasn't yet agreed to the project. Stay tuned...
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.

"I have a little bit of gray in my hair, yes," Ben Affleck was forced to confess at the beginning of today's Toronto press conference in honor of The Town. It was the typical press conference question-- inane, overly personal, instantly making everyone else sitting up at the table a little uncomfortable-- but what are you to expect when you're a former matinee idol asking everyone to take you seriously as a real director. Affleck could probably get advice from fellow TIFF directors Robert Redford and Clint Eastwood, but he pulled it off just fine with a joke of his own: "I started directing movies and it grave me gray hair. And my brother-- those things give you gray hair."
Affleck also eked his way through another question about brother Casey's TIFF film I'm Not There, delicately saying that the maybe-faux documentary about celebrity "leads you to some questions which merit answers," and teased that he and Casey "are about to start writing a movie together, I"m told." But otherwise the chatter stuck to The Town, with most questions lobbed at Affleck and Jon Hamm (who plays the FBI agent tracking down the bank robbery ring at the center of the film). I felt a little bad for Jeremy Renner, who puts in the film's real start performance and clearly isn't a big enough celebrity for the press conference attendees, but he seemed to be happily playing Hangman or something like it with Blake Lively, sitting next to him, so I think he made it through OK. The cast fielded a lot of questions about mastering the Boston accents-- everyone but Hamm has some kind or another going on-- with Affleck admitting, "If you don't do them well, it can really upend your movie." Apparently he helped his cast nail the accents in a number of ways, from sending Blake Lively to hang out with the local Charlestowne girls who inspire her character to sending Renner tapes of local criminals talking-- Renner seemed a little bitter that there hadn't been a dialect coach for him early on, but said once they arrived in Boston there were "resources out the wazoo" for learning the local culture. One of the film's standout scenes is a car chase through the tangled streets of Boston's tony North End, which Affleck said was as difficult to shoot as it is impressive to watch. Admitting to all the issues they had blocking off the streets, from hurting the area's tourism income to constant delays thanks to weather, Affleck joked "this movie is nothing if not a long apology to the people of the North End." Affleck also seemed to think he owed a little apology to Michael Mann's Heat, which he confessed "looms quite large over this movie. We had to work hard not to make it too close." Somehow Hamm wound up fielding a question about facing rejection early on in acting careers-- I'm telling you, these questions were all over the place, and he diplomatically responded that "none of us would be here if we didn't have particularly thick skin. Most of acting is about being rejected." That seemed to be on Affleck's mind as well when he answered a question about why he didn't cast wife Jennifer Garner in the film; with a wry smile, he said "Something tells me that people don't want to see real life couples act together in movies." Trust the man who survived Gigli when he says that. The Town opens next week, September 17, and so far is one of my favorite films I've caught at Toronto (read my review here). The press conference didn't really provide any deep answers to help explain why the movie works so well, but that's not really what these things or for-- the chance to have a direct view of Jon Hamm for half an hour, and to witness Affleck's full transformation from ego-fueled movie start to humble and funny director of affecting movies, was enough for me for the day. More Cinema Blend coverage from the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival right here.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE it!!! You are so creative and your family is so adorable. Thank you for making my day! I was a little sad earlier because I made my step daughter her 3rd costume in a row and I have never ever seen her wear any of it for Halloween because she is always at her moms. Thank you for making me realize that even though I will not get to see it worn that it is worth it. Thank you!

Look at him swishing his racket around, sweeping backhand here, sneaky drop shot there. Who's he think he is, world No 1? Well, he's not. He's No 3 – although he did defeat the world's top-ranked man, Novak Djokovic, to reach a record eighth Wimbledon final.
And don't we know it. Interviewed straight after his semi-final, the haughty Roger Federer proclaimed: "People were saying [about past losses], 'How are we going to survive a Wimbledon final without you?'" He then muttered something about not worrying about it himself as he dealt with it by going on holiday, but that's not the point, is it?
No, the point is that Federer was being arrogant – and not for the first time. After Andy Murray gave him a thrashing in Cincinnati, he responded, "There's no reason to be [disappointed] because I'm on an incredible run. You always expect a loss once in a while. So when it happens, why be disappointed if I win over 90 per cent of my matches?"
And that was only the start of the Murray-baiting, which continued ahead of their meeting in the Australian Open final of 2010: "I'm not taking anything away from what he did [in winning tournaments in Bangkok, Tokyo and Shanghai the previous month], but was Asia the strongest this year?" he asked. "I'm not sure. Novak wasn't there. I wasn't there." Not taking anything away?
Then, after he'd beaten our Andy in that final, he made him cry. A grown man making a young 'un blub. Shameful.
And it gets worse: "I know he'd like to win the first championship for British tennis for, what is it, 150,000 years?" he said, throwing a stinging barb at not just one man but an entire nation.
A nation that, on Friday, jumped up and pumped their fist as one, as Murray ended 74 years of waiting for the first British male Wimbledon finalist since Bunny Austin. And now the Scotsman can wipe that insufferable grin from Federer's face. Come on, Andy – your country needs you!

This is the heart of the heart of matters of darkness/ they build the war machine and let you parallel park it/ side walk slam the innocence while drinkin sparks/ sell da hole in ya soul for wholesale on da market/ da children are marchin, the vultures in their towers and their watchin/ pickin off da dead upon spottin them/ designin new trends so they an tread upon da populus/ and sell it to da masses so they fund their own apocalypse/ put ya fist up because they hidin in ya pockets just to infiltrate ya mind via ear and eye sockets/ everything is not black and white, there are gray areas/ you can live life or you an live vicariously/ ima be the first to say the media are terrorist, the presidents a scapegoat, the world no longer scared of US/ the world is only scared of you, the new Rome is burnin now, da flame are red, white and blue/ yes they meant to frighten you, I know they said different/ they said it's just a point of view and matter of opinion/ they keep you in the "loop" so you dont have to pay attention and invite you to da party called da "fuck your rights convention"
I traveled to the edge of the cosmos in a cadillac/ Im always lookin forward so theres no diamond in da back/ see, I escaped from the world when i realized it's a trap/ so I was able to drop da burdens before my spinal cord snapped/ and it's true what they say about the universe expanding/ how stars are dead but shining because this life is too demanding/ And im left, not standin but floatin in an ocean of understanding/ I've seen suns born, and inhaled nebulae, confronted false gods that made men believe in lies/ I've met God/, he's cool, a real stand up guy/ He just thinks we're too needy, we whine too much and we're so greedy/ but shit what cha gonna do, cuz hey, me too....see ya later
Young man, hard headed, cold blooded, tar baby,/ cuz im harder then my dick when it's concealed inside my lady/ many people call me crazy, I was raised to be a savior/ til da system tried to fuckin bring me down like elevators/ honestly...THEY WERE TRYNA DROWN A FUCKIN ALLIGATOR!/ the impression that shit left was deeper then a giant crator/and they are my creators they created their demise, infiltrating and im takin this battle over the line/ so what if Im not winning, just give me a little time/ I'll go back to the beginning for their primordial slime/ spit in that shit and climb, inside of the soup and hide/ and wait til im good and high from da fumes and then yell surprise/ when this monkey just goes bananas, the reason for apes to rise/ you call these some heavy bars, i call em' some dope lines/
I put my thumb in the wind, just to find a fast window/ blurred yellow lines take me where ever the wind blow/ I then go, on a vision quest to begin slow, strolls down da roads that my soul hold within... In strange lands hopin that I know a friend/ so far, just a dive bar with no ends/ drunk off my skin, from white guilt by white men/ good first impressions, ideals get questioned/ school house rock of hard knock's life lessons/ rely on ya presence, value da peasants, keep ya eyes open while you counting all ya blessins/ eat, drink and be serious about ya seconds/ stay in ya lane, and remain within ya methods.
Guess we all destine to fail feel like i slip fell right into hell seeing visions of my niggas in prison left or right not an easy decision good or bad happy sad intuition remember smiling on christmas it's different baptist not christian the f.b.i fishin' it's evident that my henchmen heaven sent not the one to watch movies because it influence not mention the beats and the music drains your endurance wish malcolm x could teach me the ropes. wish huey newton was president only the desolate vote
Temptation bring the, righteous man down money,women, power from the concrete grew a flower will lynch wrote the bible ghetto prophets are feeble worship the all seeing idol wish i could wade with the slaves feeling their pain for a day, would wipe contentedness away so sad we got to be brave, it's hard to behave, with a drum on the k rounds penetrate the body his soul lost when will the fight end? when we get rid of the white skin too blind to understand the black man under attack i watch my homies sell crack, the others shot in the back i was color blind to the crime black killin' black we all use to lack, but nobody watch they back till we under attack..................

Yes, within our community many Professoinals in a lot of occupations - Sudonium is one of the best with this and Sound Systems............:D Shop locally!
And - did I mention? ;) He has Geocaching supplies, pathtags and who knows what else Geo related in his Brewer store. ;)
Sudonium,,,,,,hmmmm must be one of those new elements......;
Oh you are welcome - at least I didn't call him Suduko!
Depends on a couple of things. Is it an automatic, and does it have power door locks. If it is a standard it HAS to have power locks, and they need to be integrated to the starter.
Most starters go in automatics. If you have an automatic, it is $319.99 installed (plus tax), and if you have your power locks integrated as well, add $50.00. A standard (with the locks hooked up too) is $419.99. (Lots more stuff to hook up!).
Any of those come with 2 remotes and 1500' of range. Need more range? $40 more gets you to 3000' and we have remotes with screens on them too so you know if the car started and how much runtime is left.
