The Future of Movies is Apps
I was drafting up an article on what I feel is the future trajectory of Feature Film distribution, aka the next step after DVD/Blu-Ray. Low and behold that article is now mute, as Paramount today announced their School Of Rock app for Windows Phone 7, with future Apps for GI Joe, Zoolander and more in the future. This is the first step, and for now is only available on a singe platform, but take into account Microsofts XBox 360, PC's and Windows Media Center and its not hard to imagine a future where you buy one Movie App and are able to access it on all your devices in the appropriate resolutions for each.
What makes this concept great besides the cross platform potential I just mentioned, is the fact that "Apps" are or can be web connected programs and are easily Updated. I can see a future where you buy an App and are given access to updates for new exclusive content, such as Deleted Scenes, concept art etc. The really great thing is that its potential is only limited by developers imaginations. I expect Apple to have a rival platform soon, imagine a Movie App you purchase on your iPhone that you can also watch on your iPad, Apple TV and computer. The foundation is already there with Apples recently released AirPlay functionality.
I cant wait for the other studios to get onboard and really push things forward. Blu Rays are nice but its basically just a High Definition DVD and that feels like a really archaic model nowadays.

Summer for the CityJuly 02, 2014
"But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word." Isaiah 66:2b
If you take God's Word seriously, you don't have to wonder why God blesses certain things. The Lord is very consistent. There are things that matter to Him. He has told us what they are, and we can expect to see Him move powerfully when we give ourselves to those priorities.
One of the ways we see God move most powerfully is when multiple things on His heart come together. Recently we were praying and planning along these lines and discussed how: 1) the unity of Christ's church and, 2) the needs of hurting people in the city of Chicago could come together. Do you know that most of the impacting, life-on-life work for Christ going on in urban areas is happening through para-church ministries? These ministries are out on the front lines, faithfully serving where the funds are meager and the struggles are maximum—in the jails, with people on the street, caring for those enslaved by addictions—loving and showing Jesus to "the least of these" (Matthew 25:40). What if some leading churches in the city of Chicago could lay down their own active ministries and come together to help those who help and give hope?
So we've been thinking and praying about what the church can do to help those ministries in the Chicagoland area—our Judea. I called Pastor Colin Smith over at The Orchard, and Pastor Wilfredo de Jesús down at New Life Covenant in the city, Pastor Ron Zappia from Harvest Bible Chapel Naperville, Pastor James Ford Jr. from Christ Bible Church, and Pastor Jarrett Stevens of Soul City Church to create an event this summer that gives some hope to our city. Of course I could have called others, but the first men we called said yes immediately. That confirmed to us the Lord's leading for this incredible week of worship, encouragement, ministry, and generosity to lift up those who do so much to lift up others.
Watch this, tell some people about it, and if you're anywhere near Chicago next week, come! Get your (free) tickets here: SummerfortheCity.org.

« Drivers sound childish when they whine about being raced too hard | Main | Crashes of Wheldon and Johnson show safety must always be at forefront »
Why wouldn't Steve Addington be looking to leave Kurt Busch?
By admin | October 15, 2011
By Richard Allen
Surely it must be in The Bible or some other religious writing that one human being should only have to endure so much berating and ridicule during a lifetime. And considering that he has served as a crew chief for both Kyle and Kurt Busch, Steve Addington has almost certainly fulfilled a lifetime's worth of such sharp and constant demeaning during the past few years.
Rumor has it that the accomplished crew chief may be on his way out at Penske Racing, where he serves as the pit boss for 2004 Sprint Cup champion Kurt Busch. However, Addington denied those reports when asked on Friday at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.
My question is, why wouldn't he be looking to go elsewhere?
Anyone who listens to the scanner traffic of NASCAR team radios during the races can attest to the fact that the Busch brothers are the most critical of just about all the drivers in the sport. And not only is the criticism of Kurt Busch to Addington unrelenting, it is often personal and degrading.
We are all due a little constructive criticism at our jobs from time to time. It's what keeps us from falling into a dangerous lull and helps us improve. What the elder Busch does often seems to go well beyond that.
A number of other drivers offer the opportunity to achieve race wins and to contend for championships without the excessive berating. Maybe those rumors of Addington's departure stem from the belief that he has finally had enough of his current driver and would like to find another.
There is no doubt that Kurt Busch is one of the most talented drivers in NASCAR. That's not even debatable. But there has to come a point in which bad attitude overwhelms good talent. If Steve Addington hasn't yet reached that point while serving as crew chief for this temperamental driver, then he has patience rivaled only by Job.

The Busch brothers have both done a lot of childish things that I was able to overlook because they are both exciting racecar drivers, but nothing turned me of to them so much as their constant berating of the crews on the radio. I can't imagine what it must be like dealing with either of these petulant whiners…normal people would slap the s*** out of both of them.

I don't know how Addington has endured Kurt Busch's constant berating of him and the crew for this long. He's a professional and has class. You can't say the same thing for either Busch brother.
jerseygirl24 Says:
October 17th, 2011 at 12:27 pm
Steve A must have the patience of a saint and skin as thick as a rhino to be able to stand being crew chief for both the Busch brothers. I swear both of the Busch boys must have been raised by wolves based on how incredibly ill mannered they both are.
I feel sorry for their wives as well as their crews.
It's one of the reasons why no matter how good they are as race car drivers, I will never root for them. Just not my kind of people.

Could ya sue Penske for work place abuse
Chris Says:
October 17th, 2011 at 5:43 pm
Addington is one of the best crew chiefs working today. He doesn't need to put up with Busch's abuse. Here's hoping he turns up at MWR as Bowyer's chief. They'd be a good combo.
Timm Says:
October 17th, 2011 at 5:47 pm
This just in… Addington will be inking a deal with MWR as Clint Bowyer's head wrench in a 3 year deal. If you ask me, that sounds like a good pairing!

Blogger Brooke McLay from Cheeky Kitchen shares a favorite recipe. This simple dip combines the gentle flavor of minced clams, lemon, and roasted garlic to create a delicious snack. Perfect on pita chips!
Double delicious. Love that clam flavor? Toss in a second can of minced clams for some super shellfish deliciousness.
Think ahead. This dip is delicious right after it's whipped together, but even better the next day! Making the recipe a day before you need it, then storing it in the fridge overnight, gives all the flavors time to meld together. Yum!

Yeah I was watching this and was wondering what would develop. It was a bit vague tho so it could mean anything at this point.
It as so vague that he could simply be talking about more custom jordans or something.
Hmmm this is interesting, only time will tell what it actually is
I think it'll be more custom models, I'm not sure if they'll give him his own "Wale Air Jordan"

Steve Harvey About a Woman's Love
Nothing on this planet can compare with a woman's love—it is kind and compassionate, patient and nurturing, generous and sweet and unconditional. Pure. If you are her man, she will walk on water and through a mountain for you, too, no matter how you've acted out, no matter what crazy thing you've done, no matter the time or demand. If you are her man, she will talk to you until there just aren't any more words left to say, encourage you when you're at rock bottom and think there just isn't any way out, hold you in her arms when you're sick, and laugh with you when you're up. And if you're her man and that woman loves you—I mean really loves you?—she will shine you up when you're dusty, encourage you when you're down, defend you even when she's not so sure you were right, and hang on your every word, even when you're not saying anything worth listening to. And no matter what you do, no matter how many times her friends say you're no good, no matter how many times you slam the door on the relationship, she will give you her very best and then some, and keep right on trying to win over your heart, even when you act like everything she's done to convince you she's The One just isn't good enough.
That's a woman's love—it stands the test of time, logic, and all circumstance.
Well, I'm here to tell you that expecting that kind of love— that perfection—from a man is unrealistic. That's right, I said it—it's not gonna happen, no way, no how. Because a man's love isn't like a woman's love." - STEVE HARVEY

2:44 PM PT -- NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France just commented on Trickle's death ... saying, "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Dick Trickle on his passing today."
"Dick was a legend in the short-track racing community, particularly in his home state of Wisconsin, and he was a true fan favorite. Personalities like Dick Trickle helped shape our sport. He will be missed."
2:28 PM PT -- We're told ... Trickle's body was removed from the cemetery and has been transported to a nearby hospital.
2:17 PM PT -- Multiple sources who knew Trickle tell us he had been sick for a while and depressed. We're not sure what kind of illness Trickle had been suffering from.
1:51 PM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Trickle did leave a suicide note at the death scene. The contents of the note are unclear at this time.
Former NASCAR driver Dick Trickle is dead ... apparently having taken his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 71 years old.
Cops in North Carolina say Trickle shot himself at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Lincoln County at 12:02 PM today.
Officials say they received a phone call before the shooting in which the caller said there would be a dead body at the cemetery and it would be his.
Operators scrambled, trying to place a return call, but there was no answer.
When emergency responders arrived, they found Trickle's body near his pickup truck.
Trickle was a fan favorite in NASCAR -- often smoking cigarettes while he raced.
Dick won the NASCAR "Rookie of the Year" award in the Winston Cup in 1989, when he was 48 years old.
Trickle was also beloved by the gang on "SportsCenter" -- Keith Olbermann and Dan Patrick used to almost always report his race results -- no matter how poorly he finished -- just because they were amused by his name.
Olbermann just tweeted ... "No sports figure Dan + I had fun with took it more graciously. In fact, gratefully."
He added, "Trickle helped mainstream NASCAR coverage on @SportsCenter We gave prominent attention to him, then his races, then ALL races."
ive been a nascar fan all my life thanks to my mom and dad please dont bully a dead man he was found near his sons grave who was murdered in Las Vegas maybe he never got over it
This is so sad. Nobody knows what goes on in a persons mind unless they have mental issues too.I know his family and friends will be greatly supportive of him.I have been having issues for years but never ever want to take my life away. Wishing he would have talked to somebody. God Rest your Soul Mr. Trickle.What ever it was, it's over now.
Who and what...
Such a loss, and I send prayers for his family, but, personally, I cannot have any kind of respect for anyone who commits suicide...it is a totally selfish act.
I don't know him or him personally! However, my gut and mind say...He didn't commit suicide! He didn't write the note or shoot himself! I feel that if law enforcement really dig deep, they'll find out everything they need to know! RIP Dick Trickle and may your family and friends find peace.
Yeah, his name was funny. Sounds like something you have to go to the clinic for. In fact, I read that Cole Trickle would have had another name if the writers of Days Of Thunder would have known Dick Trickle was so popular. My father raced against him in the '80s and tells me that after a yellow flag, if you were behind Trickle, you'd always see a cigarette butt fly out his window. Maybe the illness was cancer. Either way, RIP
Suicide is a permanent solution to what could have been a temporary problem. Depression, coupled with a physical illness and advancing age are a bad combination. My condolences to his family and friends. He sounded like a wonderful guy.
R.I.P. Dick!
Hello Harvey, Charles and TMZ family you guys had a interview with a lady defending the Boston bombing brothers let the lady know he left a note in the boat admitting he and his brother did the bombing
To all of you how have to say something negative, I dare you to go to any race track in the country and yell out loud what you said here. I dare you.
RIP... What a great name and he embraced it! Never met him but I bet he was a cool dude!
U will be missed. The family, friends and nascar family are in my thoughts.
also he was 71 soo close of finishing his time on earth. prayers to his family and friends
RIP Dick Trickle. You will be missed.!! May you rest with the angels.
Wow,who think like that.its really far out.was there a reward?he'll be thought of.too bad there was no sign.nascar is such a rainbow of great supporters.he'll never be missed.such a drip that hes dead.........

How do you deal with procrastination?
I always know I am procrastinating if I start to floss or reorganize my closet. Usually it helps me to get everything ready to start working if I am really having trouble. By the time you get everything "ready" it just seems natural to start working. If that doesn't work I go for a run or something to clear my head and return with fresh eyes.
Do you already have a concept of the final image/product when you start a project?
Sometimes, but things seem to evolve so much in the creative process that my initial thoughts are realized differently than I expected. I love collaborating and brainstorming with others to expand my horizons.
Are there any companies you would particularly like to design for?
I would love to design for Starbucks - especially after working there for several years (not to mention my love of coffee).
What do you listen to when you design?
Depends on my mood. Right now, I am listening to Polica, Florence and the Machine, Bon Iver remixes, and James Vincert McMorrow.

I always have a great time on a date when the guy has put significant effort and thought into it. There is just something sweet about a "customized" date arranged to fit my likes and interests. Basically, the guy makes a great impression as a gentleman who tries to avoid "one size fits all" approach.
So how do ladies return the favor? Reciprocate the gesture and find out what he does to relax, have fun, or how he seeks adventure.
What would you consider guy friendly dates?
Ladies do you know how to plan a date that men would be excited about?
Guys what is the best time you have had on a date that was planned around your favorite things to do? What would you want to do on a date that was planned around what you are in to?

Mobily, Bayanat, introduce IPv6 in Saudi Arabia
Mobily, Bayanat, introduce IPv6 in Saudi Arabia
Bayanat, a subsidiary of Etihad Etisalat (Mobily), has concluded building a version-6 Internet Protocol network and connecting it internationally, thus becoming the first data operator in the Kingdom to offer the service.
The announcement came in a regular meeting for the working team on Sunday. The meeting was supervised by CITC and Mobily.
Hani Al-Mansour, Mobily's Internet gateway manager, said Mobily is now ready to connect research center and universities to the IPv6 network.
Major companies in the Kingdom have been working on technical plans to move to IPv6 for years. Bayanat has now provided a practical example of how to do it successfully.
Compared to its predecessor, IPv4, the new protocol is a quantum leap. While IPv4 is capable of only 4.29 billion (232) IP addresses, IPv6 is capable of supporting many more, which each IP address comprising 39 digits instead of the customary 12, or 2128 numbers.
According to the latest report by the IPv6 society, IPv4 is about to run out of IP addresses, with only about 11% remaining unused. The report attributed the unused numbers to IP address sharing using network address translation technology (NAT). experts say that NAT was responsible for IPv4 remaining in service for so long simply because it does not support some Internet applications, such as IP video calling, as well as websites that do not allow access to computers using a shared IP address. Still, IPv6 is not expected to be fully operational before 2012.

In a news release issued on Saturday, Alaska Airlines is advising travelers to check the status of their flights before leaving for airports.
This comes hours before the Federal Aviation Administration plans to begin furloughing air traffic controllers as part of the automatic federal budget cuts known as sequestration.
That action takes effect today (Sunday).
The Seattle-based airline says the FAA is anticipating "extensive ground delays" of 50 minutes to two hours at some airports.
The news release from the airline also says the FAA is predicting the furloughs could cause a reduction in flight arrivals of 30 to 40 percent at some airports.
On a local perspective, Alaska Airlines is the primary air carrier operating out of Fairbanks International Airport, which is also served by major carriers Delta Airlines and Frontier Airlines, which is scheduled to resume its seasonal service on May 17.
On Friday, the group Airlines for America, the trade organization of major airlines, filed suit in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to block the furloughs.
It was joined in the action by the Regional Airline Association and the Air Line Pilots Association, which represents unionized pilots.

Indentured Servitude: It's back, and better than ever!
I was the first in my family to graduate from college. I went on for a Ph.D in Biomedical Sciences. The day my final degree was awarded, I was laid off—just as the economy collapse was really hitting its stride. I spent 3 months trying to find a job (and I'm lucky it was that short), but in the meantime, I couldn't make payments on ANY of my debts. I was still trying not to get sued by credit cards and everyone else that I couldn't afford my payments when my loans entered repayment. I was awarded a forbearance for all but one loan—and was never told that the ONE loan wasn't covered. I applied for income-based repayment—and never got ANY response at all. Eventually I defaulted.
I work a full-time job and a half-time job. I HAVE to work the half-time job (teaching) to pay for PART of my loan debt and get it out of default status. I HAVE to work the full-time job to pay part of everything else. Even working 80+ hours/week (you don't get paid hourly for teaching: grading & class prep are on your own time!), I can't pay MINIMUM payments on everything. I'm jealous of my friends who graduated with no debt; even on entry-level jobs, their quality of life is so much better than mine. They whine about not having enough money but I didn't have a trust fund. My parents couldn't support my education financially. I applied for scholarships and didn't get any. Federal grants supported me part way through my undergraduate studies—but it's nearly impossible to get a job with advancement possibilities in science without an advanced degree. Foreign language wasn't any better.
I'm not arguing that I didn't understand the terms of my loan agreements. I understood how much I was borrowing and the interest rates. I was INFORMED that my minimum payments would be $50/month, that they would work with me to make my payments reasonable (to THEM, not to ME), but I did not understand the draconian measures that the collectors could take on student loans. I've been threatened with wage garnishment and tax return withholding. What's left out of my monthly income may cover rent, but it will not cover electricity, heat, phone service (I don't think I would miss the neverending phone calls with no messages), or groceries. I can't afford medical care even WITH my health insurance. What they're leaving me with (after their "reasonable repayment amount") won't cover 20 gallons of gas per month to get TO my TWO jobs that I have to work.
Those wage garnishments? I was told that they do not even service the interest on the defaulted loans. They do not stop the collections calls or attempts. They just take that money from you essentially AS A PENALTY because it does nothing to reduce your balance—which continues to snowball with the DAILY interest compounding.
I am now completely trapped in two dead-end jobs with no opportunities for advancement. I've never regretted my education more—and I see no hope for my future. I'll never own a home. I am never, EVER having children because I can't afford them. What's next, debtor's prison? Sign me up! I can't handle this! At the rate this is going, dear Sallie Mae is going to be collecting from my estate. I can't keep up with my current workload. I'm hemorrhaging financially and can't stop the bleeding. My health and mental well-being are failing and I'm actually truly terrified of my future.
Welcome to the American Nightmare!

Cute Video of the Day: Game's Son Sings Bieber!

Game's son, King Justice, is already working on his music career! The four-year-old LOVES Justin Bieber (who doesn't?!) and he shares his rendition of "Never Say Never" and "Baby" in this video. He's still got a little work to do on his rapping skills. I'm guessing dad can help with that. Adorbs! [youtube]M52NLwPn7ug&feature[/youtube]

The International Hockey Federation (FIH) on Sunday confirmed Spain to be the latest team booking its ticket to the 2014 men's Rabobank Hockey World Cup following Germany's victory in the final of the TriFinance EuroHockey Nations Championships in Boom, Belgium.
Germany had already qualified for the World Cup by virtue of finishing first at the Hockey World League semi-final in Johor Bahru, Malaysia; and by becoming the European champions, who are assured of a World Cup spot, they created an additional World Cup vacancy.
As per FIH rules, the highest-ranked fifth-place finisher from the two Hockey World League semi-finals in Rotterdam and Johor Bahru was to fill the spot created by Germany. Spain and Malaysia finished fifth at Rotterdam and Johor Bahru respectively, but Spain's world ranking of 6 fetched them the World Cup ticket ahead of Malaysia, who are ranked 13th.
On Sunday, Germany won their eighth European trophy beating hosts Belgium 3-1 in the final.

Last night, President Barack Obama noted the sudden turnaround in Washington opinion when it came to Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner.
"You know, it was just a few days ago or weeks ago where people were certain that Secretary Geithner couldn't deliver a plan. Today the headlines all look like, well, all right, there's a plan," the president said.
Obama might have been talking about one Georgia senator in particular.
This from CNN/Fortune magazine:
"This could be the beginning of a very constructive improvement in capital flows," Georgia Senator Johnny Isakson told Fortune.
Just last week, Isakson, a member of the Senate Commerce Committee, became the first Republican senator to call for Geithner's resignation.
Isakson was shocked that the former New York Federal Reserve president – who essentially "wrote the check" to AIG last September – was completely unaware of the bonuses that caused a national uproar six months later.

When Obama said he waited a day or two to comment on the AIG story because "I wanted to know what I was talking about," Mr. Isackson should take note.
March 25th, 2009

Knowing what he's talking about isn't necessary for Isaakson… he just needs to know what audience he's talking to, and what they want to hear.

Copyleft..Either way, he thinks before he speaks. Isakson should still take note.

Isaakson is just a partisan hack who has accomplished absolutely nothing for Georgia as a Senator. Its impossible for him to think before or after he speaks. He's just not that bright.
But at least he's not as slimy as Chambliss.

Far too many of you MARXISTs–SOCIALISTs put your mouths in motion….before putting your brains in gear…..The last I heard, Isaakson was a duly elected senator from Ga. Shut up & hear him out…morons.

I am a active duty army officer orginally from the what I consider the great state of Georgia. I think is time for all of the partisan back stabbing has run its course. It is time America came together and pulled for each other. Mr. Geithner is more than qualified to serve in his current post and should be given an opportunity to execute without his every move being disected as if CSI was attempting solve a Cold Case. The current economic sitiution that the country is not one that will be resolve with a simple press conference by the President or anyone else it is going to take time. Unfortunately, just like military warfare it economics is not an exact sicence there is a element are art included.
With said Mr. Isakson consider giving Mr Giethner a chance or if have real constructive advise arrange meeting away from the microphone and provide it to him.

When will Isakson CALL for the AUDIT of the Federal Reserve back to 1913? The Federal Reserve needs to be shut down as ILLEGAL. Georgians allowed this travesty to be born at Jekyll Island.

Johnny the SOCIALIST sure did the right thing in voting for the TARP.. We need a CONSERVATIVE to run against this fool.
March 28th, 2009

One of the things that a lot of Republicans like to forget is that the bonus agreements they disparage so enthusiastically to find some kind of commonality with the voters is that these agreements were already in place when the Bush administration decided to bail out AIG. I do not remember a terrible uproar from the Republicans on this issue.
Of course to hold the Obama administration responsible for these agreements when the fat's already in the fire is more than a bit hypocritical but then that's not necessarily a concern for the Republicans.
The great issue for the Republican party is to acknowledge that the Democrats are not always wrong and that there is productive commonality to be had though the road back to credibility for the GOP will be a long one. Of course, this will mean cutting ties to much of the Hard Right but we need a two-party system and the Hard Right is just too far out for words. When Johnny Isaakson is accused of being a socialist, that's got to tell you something.
For the Hard Right, the only real possibility is a third party headed by Rush Limbaugh which will regularly get the support of all the God-fearing patriots of this country while all us "socialists" will vote for moderation and carefully considered policy.

A particular shot commonly used in action flicks, gangster movies and murder mysteries. All that is shown is An Insert of a pair of hands, and possibly the murder weapon itself. This gives a sense of building tension without revealing the murderer's identity. Sinister black gloves are optional. Often, the character is walking slowly—one might say...ominously—with a gun in his hand, held down by his side. He may well be wearing a trenchcoat. Common in slasher films. Even more common in Giallo.

Telling and retelling fairy tales is a tricky business. It is not simply that everyone already knows how the story ends that makes it difficult either. A fairy tale is not defined by its plot or its characters, however familiar. Neither is it defined by its fantastic elements nor even its antiquity. Of course, many fairy tales have all of those things, but that is not what makes them what they are. A fairy tale is defined by the breathless wonder and inexplicable power tied up in the story itself. Stories, clever and ancient and wise, that capture our imagination again and again and again no matter how many times we hear them. It is this that defines a fairy tale, and this that makes them almost impossible to retell.
Alethea Kontis, in her new young adult novel Enchanted, has managed the almost impossible. She takes the familiar stories, Jack and the Beanstalk, Cinderella, the Princess and the Frog, even the Old Woman who Lived in a Shoe, breaks them up into their component parts, and recombines them into a fairy tale that is at once new and old, full of wonder and magic and humanity. She braids the tales together around a single family, the Woodcutters, who live in a rather shoe-shaped house at the edge of the Wood. Peculiar and magical things keep happening to this particular family, and in the midst of it all the seventh daughter, Sunday, wanders off into the Wood and meets a frog named Grumble who lives in an old wishing well. Grumble and Sunday become friends, and, soon enough, fall in love. When Sunday gives Grumble a hurried kiss goodbye, he is transformed back into the prince he was. Unfortunately, that cannot be the end of the story. The prince is the son of a nameless and ageless king, the godson of a fairy named Sorrow, and at the heart of the Woodcutter family's most bitter loss. So he invites all the women in the kingdom to three midnight balls to hide the fact he wishes to invite only one. And in the meantime Sunday discovers more than she ever wished to know about herself and her family.
This story is not a lighthearted one, nor is it a tale for children. It retains the spirit of the old tales it repeats — dark, bloody and captivating. This is a tale of magic and wonder, yes, but it is also a story about a young woman searching for love, hope and independence, of a family burdened with secrets, and of a young man looking for redemption. And amid these profoundly human trials we find the ancient words of wisdom from those old familiar stories: One good turn deserves another. Words have power. Be careful what you wish for. And above all, true love's kiss will break the curse.

Father of American Literature

Categories: Father of American Literature
Twain wrote, "A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read" and if you fail to download the first volume of his bestselling autobiography, you'll be the one facing a severe disadvantage.
Published – by Twain's design! – to commemorate the 100th anniversary of his death, the musings gathered here run the gamut from hilarious to hell-bent and touch on everything from his early life on the Mississippi to the timeless prose that made him "the father of American Literature."
Twain also wrote, "Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often" and his autobiography speaks volumes.

Fashion retailer Esprit Holdings Ltd. (ESPGY) said Wednesday it reversed to a first-half net loss, as the struggling company continues with a four-year transformation plan that so far has seen it appoint a new chief executive and launch a large rights issue.
The Hong Kong-listed company posted a net loss of HK$465 million ($60 million) for the six months ended Dec. 31, compared with a HK$555 million net profit in the same half a year earlier. Revenue fell 19% to HK$13.6 million from HK$16.7 million.
Esprit said it wouldn't pay an interim dividend.
The retailer, which announced a turnaround plan in Sep. 2011 after it reported a 98% drop in profit for the year through June, has since exited North America and closed businesses in three European countries. In June, it named former Inditex SA executive Jose Manuel Martinez Gutierrez as its new CEO after unexpected resignations from its previous CEO, Ronald van der Vis, and its chairman, Hans-Joachim Körber.
It raised $677 million in a rights issue in October, the company's first since 1997.
Shareholders have also been looking to clues in what lies ahead for Esprit, after its former chairman Michael Ying increased his stake in the company in November, stoking speculation that he could return to a managerial role at the retailer. Mr. Ying owns about 10.33% of the company after options were exercised.
Write to Isabella Steger at email@example.com
"Esprit Holdings Swings to Net Loss," at 0458 GMT, misstated revenue figures in the 2nd paragraph. Esprit Holdings revenue fell to HK$13.6 billion in the six months ended Dec. 31 from HK$16.7 billion in the same month a year earlier sted HK$13.6 million and $16.7 million sent.
"Correction to Esprit Story (on Wednesday)," at 0524 GMT, misstated the reporting period for Esprit's revenue. Esprit posted revenue of HK$16.7 billion for the six months ended Dec. 31, 2011, and not for a month in 2011.

In this week's Reporter: Yancey as loyal opposition
City Councillor Charles Yancey is nothing if not relentlessly on message. Less than 15 minutes into a 40-minute interview he mentions one of his pet issues: a new high school for Mattapan. "I do have a lot of legislation that's pending, and with regards to the high school, we haven't had a hearing on it," Yancey told the Reporter this week.
Yancey has popped up in the news more and more lately, and he's fast becoming the top critic of the Menino administration that the press goes to. As Menino spokeswoman Dot Joyce put it in this morning's Herald, "Whatever we are for, Yancey is against. I'm not going to engage in a back and forth with him."
In this week's Reporter, we take a look at Yancey and how much is he the loyal opposition.

American University in Washington says four female students have been fondled while walking near the campus in the past week.
The university issued a campus alert about the attacks Monday. School spokeswoman Maralee Csellar says the attacks have occurred since Sept. 24 and were all reported to university public safety officials on Monday.
The women told authorities that they were approached from behind between the late evening and early morning while walking along the 4200 block of Massachusetts Avenue. Csellar says that area is often traveled by students, but it is off-campus.

So far, here are the peak wind gusts *** UPDATED THROUGH 1:20 PM ***.
Temperatures are on a steady climb as we compare today's high with tomorrow's, and then Thursday's high temperature. We should reach 53° today, 57° tomorrow and then we have a good chance of soaring all the way into the middle 60s on Thursday. We expect Lexington to reach 65° on the 4th day of the workweek.
The warm-up will come to a screeching halt on Thursday night as an aggressive cold front arrives from the northwest. Scattered showers and some thunderstorms will accompany the front, on Thursday evening into Thursday night. Some of the storms in southern Kentucky could potentially become severe.
We haven't seen much of a severe weather threat lately, but that may change on Thursday after our midweek spring preview. Again, the most likely areas to see a severe storm will be those of you in southern Kentucky.
Stay tuned... and until then, enjoy the warm-up!

House Democrats Stephen Lynch and Edward Markey returned to familiar policy terrain in their debate Monday night, while opting for a more civil tone than in their previous meet up last month.
Both criticized President Obama's use of lethal drones. Lynch, who has made 14 trips to Iraq and eight to Afghanistan, noted that the US faces "limited choices," but said the US may have incurred diplomatic injury abroad.

The Bobcats deserve it this year, right? The lottery was cruel to Charlotte last year after posting a historically bad record (7-59). Instead of being rewarded with prize piece Anthony Davis, the Bobcats selected Davis's Kentucky teammate Michael Kidd-Gilchrist second, a gifted talent nonetheless, but a sufficient downgrade from a potential franchise piece like Davis.
This year, however, the Magic fell to the bottom of the barrel, a game behind the Bobcats. We'll see in a few months how that plays out in the lottery, but now we're going to take a look at which NBA prospects would fit the NBA's bottom-dwellers best:
Orlando Magic (20-62)
The best surprise in Orlando this year was undoubtedly Nikola Vucevic, who came out of nowhere to average a steady double-double for the Magic. Other potential bright spots going forward on the team are Shooting Guard Arron Afflalo and Forwards Glen Davis, Tobias Harris and Moe Harkless. While none of these players are essential pieces in the Magic's future, they all showed a good amount of potential this year and will likely return to Orlando to play solid minutes again next year. And seasoned point guard Jameer Nelson is still very much in the picture at this point as well.
Best Fit Draft Pick - Trey Burke, PG, Michigan
Nelson didn't have a terrible year, but the Magic need a leader to help them move on from the Howard era and no player in this year's draft has proven to be a better leader than Michigan's Trey Burke. With talented wingers like Afflalo, Harris, and Harkless, as well as a smart low post scorer in Davis, Burke could really help bring things together in Orlando.
Charlotte Bobcats (21-61)
The prime pieces for the Bobcats are Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Kemba Walker, and Gerald Henderson. Right now, they are lining up with MKG at the 3, Henderson at the 2 and Walker at the 1. All three players could have a certain amount of flexibility, yet no matter which way you look at it, the team needs the most help up front, where Byron Mullins, Bismack Biyombo, and Josh McRoberts logged the most minutes this year.
Best Fit Draft Pick - Nerlens Noel, C, Kentucky
A potential defensive star with an offensive game currently in development, Noel could give the Bobcats some much-needed stability in their frontcourt. Before the ACL tear, Noel was averaging 4.4 blocks and 2.1 steals for the Wildcats. This year, the Bobcats were the second worst defensive team in the league, allowing opponents to score 102.7 points per game against them.
Cleveland Cavaliers (24-58)
Easily the most attractive destination amongst the NBA's bottom dwellers just because of one man: Kyrie Irving. Alongside the superstar point guard is rookie Dion Waiters, swingman CJ Miles, and big men Anderson Varejao and Tristan Thompson. Miles has a team option on his contract this offseason and could be let go, but the other three are slated to run with Kyrie next year.
Best Fit Draft Pick - Anthony Bennett, F, UNLV
In Irving, the Cavaliers have their star. Now they need smart, efficient players to surround him with. Bennett is a great low-post scorer who can also sink a jumper when he's left open. Right now, outside of Irving and Waiters, the Bobcats don't really have anyone who can score consistently in the half-court set. Regardless of whether he plays small forward or power forward, Bennett will bring mismatches to the court either with either his size or quickness.
Phoenix Suns (25-57)
Right now, Phoenix's main investments are Goran Dragic and Marcin Gortat, both coming off solid, yet unspectacular seasons. With this year's draft, the Suns could pretty much start with any sort of building piece, but one particular player stands out.
Best Fit Draft Pick - Ben McLemore, SG, Kansas
The Suns need a potential go-to scorer, and even though consistency wasn't something we saw much of from McLemore in his year at Kansas, he at least showed us he was capable of taking a game over when he's really on. He poured in 36 points with 5 threes against West Virginia in early March and 33 points on 10-12 FGs against Iowa State in January. A tremendous athlete with a ton of potential, McLemore may have the most upside of anyone in this year's class.

Just past Sunny Park (Sončni Park) in Muzejski trg is the former Dominican Monastery, which contains the lapidary and archeological collections of the Ptuj Regional Museum .
Zaprice Castle, with towers, ancient stone walls and an interesting chapel, was built in the 16th century but converted a century later into a baroque manor house.
The Koroška Gallery of Fine Arts, on the first floor of the former town hall, counts among its permanent collection African folk art, bronze sculptures by Franc Berneker (1874–1932) and naive paintings by Jože Tisnikar (1928–98).
Highlights include a highly embossed Vače situla , a Celtic pail from the late 6th century BC unearthed in a town east of Ljubljana, and a Stone Age bone flute discovered near Cerkno in western Slovenia in 1995.
Surrounded by a large and protected park, the recently restored 16th-century Renaissance Snežnik Castle is one of the loveliest and best-situated fortresses in Slovenia Entrance is through a double barbican with drawbridge and moat.
This museum in Stara Fužina, 1.5km north of Ribčev Laz, has a small collection related to Alpine dairy farming.
The Minorite Olimje Monastery, 3km southwest of Podčetrtek, was built as a Renaissance-style castle in about 1550. Its Church of the Assumption , boasts 17th-century ceiling paintings in the presbytery, one of the largest baroque altars in the country and the unbelievably ornate Chapel of St Francis Xavier .
Behind the City Tower in Slovenski trg is the Church of St George, which reveals an array of styles from Romanesque to neo-Gothic.
The excellent city museum focuses on Ljubljana's history, culture and politics via imaginative multimedia and interactive displays.
Opposite the train station is the mammoth neo-Gothic Celje Hall , built in 1907 and once the centre of social life for German-speaking Celjani . It now contains the year-round TIC and, in the lower ground floor, the Children's Art Gallery , devoted to art produced by those under the age of 20 and the only such museum in all of Slovenia.

This museum houses the very best in Slovenian modern art.
Planina Cave, 12km to the northeast of Postojna Cave, near the unpredictable Lake Planina, is the largest water cave in Slovenia and a treasure-trove of fauna (including Proteus anguinus ). The cave's entrance is at the foot of a 100m rock wall. It's 6.5km long, and you are able to visit about 900m of it in an hour.
Historic Čevljarska ulica (Cobbler Street), a narrow commercial street for pedestrians, runs south from Titov trg. As you walk under the arch of the Praetorian Palace, have a look to the right.
The items on display at the Soklič Museum on the 2nd floor of the presbytery were amassed by Jakob Soklič (1893–1972), a priest who began squirreling away bits and bobs in the 1930s.
The magnificent Savica Waterfall, which cuts deep into a gorge 60m below, is 4km from the Hotel Zlatorog in Ukanc and can be reached by footpath from there.

A baby kidnapped by non-custodial teen parents was found safe early Thursday.
Clayton County police spokeswoman Chandi Ashmore said 8-month-old Montevious Whitfield was found with his parents and was taken to a hospital to be checked out, but appeared fine.
The parents were arrested and charged with kidnapping and interference with custody.
The child's father 17-year-old Montevious Terrell Howard was denied bond during a court appearance on Thursday.
His next court date is set for May 10.
Police believed the child was in danger when his parents kidnapped him on Tuesday.
During an exclusive interview with CBS Atlanta News, Leslie Howard, Montevious' grandmother, made an emotional plea to her son and his girlfriend.
"I would like for Montevious and Jamika to return Montevious. I wish he (her son) hadn't made this decision," said Leslie Howard.
Leslie Howard wished her son would have thought twice before he and his girlfriend kidnapped their 8-month-old boy.
"They (Georgia Department of Family and Children Services) had the baby in DFACS custody because of an incident with Jamika burning the baby," said Leslie Howard.
Ashmore said Montevious Howard and his girlfriend, who Leslie Howard identified as Jamika Whitfield, kidnapped their son Montevious Whitfield from the Smith Transitional and Rehabilitation Services on Commerce Boulevard in Riverdale.
"There was a supervised visit with the juvenile, mom visiting her child through DFACS Clayton County. The mom left the location without permission with the child," said Ashmore.
Ashmore said a friend of the child's parents was waiting outside. She dropped them off somewhere in Atlanta.
"The vehicle and the owner were located. The owner was not aware that there was anything going on that was illegal," said Ashmore.
Montevious Howard lives with his mom in Atlanta. A CBS Atlanta News crew was there when police arrived to question her.
"The DFCS office said they were going to adopt the baby and it would take three years or something. I think that's what scared them and made them react," said Leslie Howard.

Senate Republicans Block Bill on Equal Pay for Women
A Democratic-sponsored bill meant to close the pay gap between men and women failed in the Senate, framing an election-year fight over whose policies are friendlier to female voters.
Something to keep in mind this November.
The Senate failed to pass a bill that over 90% of Americans support. Welcome to 'Murica.
A president who supports marriage equality and a record number of women in the senate (including the first openly lesbian senator). Not perfect, but not bad USA.
Calling It: After the election, Obama will still be president, Democrats will still control the Senate, and Republicans will still control the House of Representatives.
So basically… nothing will be different. Not sure how to feel about that.
"I'm not voting because…"
"…Obama isn't liberal enough for me." SEE: Jill Stein (Green Party)
"…Romney is too socially conservative for me." SEE: Gary Johnson (Libertarian Party)
You do have other options besides Obama and Romney. All four candidates above will be on the voting ballots in enough U.S. states to theoretically win the election. Even if you don't think a candidate will win, that doesn't mean you shouldn't vote for him/her.
I don't understand this country. Obama has one less-than stellar debate and he's suddenly down 5% in polls.
It's one thing to not support him based on principle- that I understand. It's another to suddenly stop supporting him because he had an 'off' night. Honestly I thought he performed pretty adequately for a guy whose main job is running the country 24/7.
If you're not sure whether to vote or not: In the past couple days, Obama's chance of winning has gone from 80% to about 60%.
Doesn't matter who you vote for- chances are your vote DOES matter. So please vote if you can.
To people who complain about political posts.
A. It's an election year- just accept it. It'll be over in 2 months, and then you can go back to not being 'burdened' with info about the people who are running our country and making decisions that probably directly effect you.
B. I understand political propaganda is annoying and almost always misleading, but it's even MORE disturbing to me when people don't care AT ALL about current events/ the government. That's what politicians are banking on. Ignorant people are SO much easier to control that informed people. Just something to think about.
The 2012 Presidential Election is basically just 2004 all over again.
- After four years in office, George W. Bush had national approval ratings around 50%.
- Democrats chose John Kerry to oppose Bush. Kerry was frequently accused of flip flopping his views on major issues, and he failed to excite most people.
- Bush won the election as most experts predicted.
- After four years in office, Barack Obama has national approval ratings around 50%.
- Republicans chose Mitt Romney to oppose Obama. Romney has frequently been accused of flip flopping his views on major issues, and he fails to excite most people.
- By most expert accounts, Obama will win the election.
I think I will go as Mitt Zombie for Halloween.

The bill is almost certain to pass the house and governor Christine Gregoire has promised to sign the legislation, meaning Washington will likely to become the first West Coast state with marriage equality (California briefly legalized gay marriages in 2008 and is embroiled in a federal lawsuit against its voter-approved ban)."

ALBANY -- Haikeem Harris, now 20, was sentenced to seven years in prison for shooting another teenager in the back three years ago, a Dougherty County court official said.
Johnathan White, 17 at the time, survived the .38-caliber wound and forgave Harris at a sentencing hearing Tuesday, said District Attorney Greg Edwards.
"The leniency shown to Harris was probably due to White's speaking his forgiveness at the hearing," Edwards said. "This is just another example of senseless gun violence."
During a March 2009 after-school fight between Monroe High School and Southside Middle School students, Harris shot White. The investigation into the shooting found Harris in possession of stolen goods. Harris pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, possession of a handgun by a minor, burglary and theft by receiving.
"He (Harris) allegedly got the gun from another teenager," Edwards said. "Guns and their children are issues that have to be addressed by parents. They have to be mindful of what their children are doing."
