'10,000 B.C.' Clobbers DVD Competition
The Roland Emmerich-directed 10,000 B.C. sold around 25% more than its nearest competition, fellow newcomer The Spiderwick Chronicles, which took second in sales and third in rentals. Fool's Gold, last week's top rental, slipped to second place this week.
Two more newcomers debuted nicely with the romantic comedy Definitely, Maybe taking the third spot in sales and sixth in rentals and the straight-to-DVD release Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs snapped up sixth place on the sales chart, particularly strong for a straight-to-video title.
On the 1080p side, 10,000 B.C. completed the sweep in capturing the Blu-Ray sales crown while The Spiderwick Chronicles came in a distant second place.

Nick and David make everyone thoroughly uncomfortable.
Nick and David…uh…
Walk straight out of the poster for a romantic movie, apparently.
Escalators remain an amusing novelty to our boys.
Nick begins to regret his choice of the silken purple tie as David turns the moves onto the camera.
Much to the dismay of its operator, we're sure.
We make a comeback on this blog with an example of David desperately trying to be a normal person.
Nick remains unconvinced.
Looks more like David desperately trying to seduce Nick but Nick remaining firm he doesn't react as they are in public.

This isn't our usual type of post, but is very worthy of its place on our blog. No doubt you've already seen a picture or a link or two dedicated to a rising movement known as KONY 2012.
This is a very real issue, and you could prove to be a very real help. Take a moment to watch this video if you can find the time. I encourage others to reblog and share this on any sort of social website you can.
The Invisible Children Inc. Website HERE.
The Facebook group can be found HERE.
Their Tumblr HERE.
Their shoppe HERE.
Never let anyone ever stop you from standing up for what is right.
Peace, and blessed be,
Likewise, this isn't our usual sort of post, and indeed, we've been lacking on photos of our boys recently. We'll get back to that asap.
But this needs to be here.
This needs to be everywhere.
On the 20th of April, 2012, Cameron and Clegg will be listening along with the rest of the world.

WEST GLACIER, Mont. (AP) — Glacier National Park's Going-to-the-Sun Road will be plowed on schedule because of funding from the Glacier National Park Conservancy.
Park officials had planned to delay the opening of the road, which bisects the park, due to automatic federal budget cuts.
But park officials said in statement Tuesday the money from the conservancy and salary savings from unexpected staff departures will allow it to avoid the delay.
The cuts reduced the park's base budget of $13.5 million by $682,000.
That means visitor centers and campgrounds will close earlier this season. Park officials also will delay hiring some permanent positions and eliminate or reduce the length of employment for some seasonal positions.
Park officials also have reduced travel, training, overtime, vehicle leases and supply and equipment purchases.

Global economic recovery gaining momentum' but slowly
Global economic recovery is gaining further momentum' but is still relatively slow compared to the past' says chief economist at Old Mutual Investment Group Rian le Roux.
By Maarten Mittner
The global economic recovery is gaining further momentum' but is still relatively slow compared to the past' chief economist at the Old Mutual Investment Group (Omigsa) Rian le Roux said on Wednesday.
"We are starting to see signs of recovery generated by policy stimulus' despite headwinds and risks'" Le Roux said.
He said the global financial crisis has been contained' with financial and macro-economic conditions looking far more stable.
Economic recovery in the US remains subdued with housing already slowing in reaction to mortgage rate rises after the Fed's initial tapering announcement in May. It pushed the 10-year Treasury yield up to 3.1% as prices fell' but it has since recovered to 2.5%' although still higher than the 1.6% yield in May.
"As US growth is bound to be slower than the Fed expects' it is likely the Fed will not reduce QE until March next year'" Le Roux said.
With the Fed expected to start unwinding its quantitative easing (QE) programme from March next year' the transition could result in global growth accelerating over the next two years' but it will still be lower than the strong growth experienced between 2003 and 2007.
Le Roux said higher inflation in global economies was not a real risk as the money creation had not found its way into the credit system.
The effect on SA as an emerging market will remain positive until the first quarter of next year as the strong QE liquidity flows could still see money invested in emerging markets. However' the SA economy remains vulnerable as the twin deficit of 6.5% on the current account and 4.2% on the budget are among the highest in the world.
Le Roux said the main threat to global growth could come from China' where overall credit was increasing at a rate of 20%. Growth had also slowed to just above 7% from above 10% three years ago. "Credit needs to be managed down which is a difficult transition to effect."
SA faces considerable challenges as the growth and inflation outlook has deteriorated while structural problems are increasingly being exposed. "The Reserve Bank faces a difficult situation'" he said.
Although local share markets are on a high evaluation compared to the past' the JSE all share index could still go higher as central banks keep liquidity high. "They would rather err on the side of easing'" said Omigsa equities strategist Graham Bell.
Bell said SA shares appeared overvalued compared to other emerging markets. Many industrials look expensive based on earnings relative to long-term trends' while on the other hand resources actually look cheap. However' SA equities will continue to be supported by the reality that neither bonds nor cash offer attractive returns. "The US market does not look particularly expensive and is an important driver of our market."
SA retail stocks had pulled back from historic highs' but were by no means cheap' while the banking sector was looking fair value currently' Bell said.
According to Old Mutual equities head Peter Linley' Naspers remained a firm favourite in the equity fund portfolio. He said Old Mutual became firm buyers when the share price was trading around R300' and it is now approaching R1'000. "Clearly the upside for Naspers is now less than in the past as the share has had a strong run."
But counting in Naspers' favour is its 34% interest in the Chinese internet company Tencent' with investors underestimating the potential size of Tencent's WeChat rollout' as well as the monetisation of its user base.
"WeChat has grown from 250-million users to 600-million in the last 10 months' faster than any other social media player'" Linley said.
- SA June CPI 6.6% y/y vs May 6.6% y/y
- Little light for SA's economy in next few months
- SA set to become solar power hub
- Western Cape clears path for small business
- Economists react to CPI number
- Banks 'are focusing on traditional business'
- SA slow to adopt online shopping, with logistics a problem
- Government needs to be creative to pull off infrastructure plan - Patel

One of my all time favourite bands The Knife are touring later in Spring this year. Check their site for tour dates and info on them. So excited to see them play. This brilliant video is directed by Yohan Renck. Do you also think the singer character has a touch of the Victoria Beckham's about her?
I managed to catch the last day of the William Klein/Daido Moriyama at the Tate Modern. It was so inspiring, beautiful, still modern even though so much of it was from many decades ago. Please enjoy this incredible film titled Broadway By Light from 1958. This film captures how exciting Manhattan was in the late 50's & is set to cutting edge jazz from the time. Orson Welles declared it to be 'The first film I've seen in which colour was absolutely necessary.'
On a Mexican road trip driving a rental like I stole it listening mostly to The Fall going to beaches, Mayan ruins & colonial towns. I also have eaten my body weight in ceviche & guacamole whilst realising tequila makes me mucho cray cray. Here is a pic I took of a Jesus doll sporting Kardashian-esque makeup. So our new sleb Krist Kardashian formally known as The Son of God can look however he wants, even if it is with chola brows, not judging.

Jewelry designed by Salvador Dali. The mustachioed genius said, "My art encompasses physics, mathematics, architecture, nuclear science – the psycho-nuclear, the mystico-nuclear – and jewelry – not paint alone," Dali wrote in the 1959 catalog Dalí: A Study of his Art-in-Jewels. "My jewels are a protest against emphasis upon the cost of the materials of jewelry. My object is to show the jeweler's art in true perspective – where the design and craftsmanship are to be valued above the material worth of the gems, as in Renaissance times." I want them, I want them, I want them, a girl can dream.

March 16, 2013
QUEENS, N.Y. - Due to visibility issues as a result of a steady snowfall and the forecast for continued precipitation, umpires were forced to halt game one of a doubleheader between St. John's and Holy Cross in the top of the fourth inning with the Crusaders holding a 3-2 lead.
The halted game will resume at noon on March 17 and be followed by a nine-inning game in order to play two of the three originally scheduled games this weekend.
Holy Cross took a 1-0 lead in the first inning as Evan Ocello set the table with a leadoff single. Ocello stole second and reached third on an errant pickoff throw before scoring on a Patrick Puentes sacrifice fly. James Lomangino struck out the final two batters to end the inning.
Lomangino added two more strikeouts in a 1-2-3 second inning before the Red Storm plated two runs in the bottom of the frame. Frank Schwindel led off with a double before Sean O'Hare lined an RBI single into center field to tie the game. After Danny Bethea followed with a single up the middle, a double steal set up runners on second and third before Kyle Lombardo walked to load the bases. Dustin Breshears followed with a walk that put St. John's up 2-1, but Tom Marra escaped further damage.
Holy Cross used the long ball to retake the lead in the third. After Connor Perry singled up the middle to lead off the inning, Puentes lifted a two-out, two-run home run to right field to put the Crusaders up 3-2.
St. John's threatened in the bottom of the third with back-to-back one out singles, but Marra worked out of the jam.
The umpires met before the top of the fourth inning and cleared the field. The game was delayed for 30 minutes before the decision was made to halt the game.

I love how Blizzard assumes they own the name "DOTA" when it was simply a mod NOT MADE BY THEM for their game. Dota 2 uses no models or anything from WarCraft III. Blizzard has no right to do this, especially a pathetic move as waiting until the game is almost finished to file this kind of crap. I hope they win, then I hope they turn it around and sue Blizzard for "Blizzard DOTA".
"Filing an opposition does not necessarily mean that Blizzard wants to trademark DOTA -- it doesn't."
No one owns the name, but Blizzard holds the right to trademark the title of the map since it was created within their IP under their terms.
If you make anything using IP that's already out there, even if you do it within the legal rights given to you by the company, the company has the right to remove all support and restrict production if they want.
If they really want to make a sequel, just call it something else. It's not that big a deal, just looks at HoN and LoL. They're popular without the DOTA name slapped onto them.
They can very well try, and yes they do have a right to do this. I don't think there's a chance in hell of Blizzard winning this though. IceFrog works at Valve and Blizzard have.... who exactly? Yes it's stupid, but Blizzard have every right to try, even though they'll most likely fail.
You are not understanding the situation.
Blizzard does not claim ownership over the name DOTA, nor do they want to copyright it themselves. What they want is for it to be a community term that can be freely used, much like "Real Time Strategy" or "RolePlaying Game". They are saying it should be used as a way to define what a game is, and not be able to copyright it for a game name.
Blizzard is trying to stop Valve from owning it and keeping it so that no one "owns" it. Blizzard doesn't want to own it themselves.
Opposing a trademark =/= Claiming it yourself.
I am sick of people saying that Blizzard are trying to claiming it themself THEY ARE NOT. They also aren't trying to get dota 2 renamed or delayed like that. They are trying to keep the name open, and i think they got a good case.
Fact is the EULA of the WC3 editor states that Blizzard own all rights related to the mods. So them claiming that Valve alone can't have the right to the name is a fair move. A EULA is not legally binding in court(It can't be there is minors involved) but it would still help blizzards case.
@Henry : Bliz doesn't care if they call the game DOTA. They care about the name becoming a brand of Valve. Since bliz will be releasing their own DOTA, what keeps Valve from suing them later? the name DOTA can't be registered in my opinion. It would be like having a copyright on FPS or RTS.
Also, anything created with the Warcraft 3 editor belongs to Blizzard, ok, maybe the name DOTA doesn't belong to them, but it doesn't belong to Valve either.
Notice that Blizzard isn't trying to register the name for themselves, they just want to keep Valve from owning the name of a genre, which would harm the whole industry.
As much as I love Gabe and Valve, I still have to side with Blizzard on this one.
Lets get this straight.
Valve is the one trying to trademark the name DOTA when they had previously had no connection to it. They had only hired an developer for the original DOTA, Icefrog, and seem to think that that is enough for their whole company to trademark the name or something.
Blizzard is filing an OPPOSITION, as it is just stated above. At this time, i dont know what their future plans for the trademarking is but right now they are just saying to Valve ''Dude, what gives you the right to do that?''
My piece of my mind on the matter, using common logic and whatever info i have scanned over on the subject without any special knowledge of trademark laws.
lazymangaka said...
Did you even read the article? Blizzard's stance is that the term DOTA belongs to the community. They make no claim for it.
It's more like some company wanting to make a board game called "Board Game" and then trying to slap a trademark on it. And then Parker Bros comes along and goes "Whoa, man, you can't do that." Would you accuse Parker Bros of trying to claim the trademark?
No. They're just saying a board game is a type of game, and you can't trademark that or everyone else calling their game a "board game" gets in trouble. Not cool.

| Hopkins Meets HBO
The result is a complete clash of cultures ... and a captivating film
Driving over to the East Baltimore campus on the afternoon of March 22, Harold Norris was ready for a fight. Norris was about to preview an HBO film based on the story of the famed blue-baby surgery developed here in the 1940s by Alfred Blalock and Vivien Thomas, his own father-in-law. He had seen an early script, which he had not liked. Worse, he had heard that the dignified Thomas would be played by someone known as Mos Def, a rap star no less.
Arriving at the Broadway Research Building, Norris selected a seat in the back of the seminar room so he could gauge the reaction among the handful of surgeons, development officers and others who had gathered for the preview. Fifteen minutes into the film, he was forced to concede to himself that it was actually pretty good. Soon Norris began to wonder: What am I going to have to yell about? When it was over, he was so moved he covered his face with a hand to regain his composure. How did he like it? "I was pleased," he declared.
This riveting and poignant film, Something the Lord Made, will air on HBO on Sunday, May 30. It centers not only on the struggle to develop the groundbreaking heart surgery that would save the lives of countless children, but also on the climate of segregation that would keep a black lab technician like Thomas from attaining the recognition he deserved and a white surgeon like Blalock (Alan Rickman) from fully understanding what their relationship could have been like in a modern era.
Norris wasn't the only one to come away from the preview with a sense of pleasure mixed with relief. The old guard surgeons—Alex Haller and Vince Gott—also had been uneasy with some inaccuracies in the early script. They had taken it upon themselves to make sure the institution's legacy wasn't cheapened in any way by a made-for-cable television movie. It hadn't been easy. HBO, after all, was producing a "docudrama," in which fact is juxtaposed with fiction. "It sometimes was a real clash of cultures between an institution with a heritage to protect and a network that wanted to make an entertaining film," says Gary Stephenson, JHM's associate director of media relations.
As technical advisers, the surgeons served an important purpose, however. They knew, for example, how the instruments should be held or how an incision should look. But advice on non-surgical matters was not particularly appreciated by the filmmakers, who included veteran director Joseph Sargent (The Taking of Pelham One Two Three) and producer Robert Cort (Runaway Bride, Mr. Holland's Opus).
"Joe Sargent was not interested in having some little surgeon who doesn't know a thing about the profession tell him how to shoot a scene," says Haller. Haller thought there was little he could do, but initially he was disturbed by what he saw as an underlying coarseness in the film. "I decided I would try my best to get across the real interrelations and emotional ties these two men had. Having lived through it, I felt I could."
Haller is a 1951 School of Medicine graduate who worked with Thomas in Blalock's dog lab when he was a student and intern and went on to become Hopkins' first chief of pediatric surgery. Haller says he understood HBO's need to dramatize the story. "But it didn't need to be wrong. I thought it was possible to make it accurate. The real story is so good it doesn't require any icing on the cake."
Of course, there are some liberties taken: Blalock's lab is shown on the Homewood campus, not in East Baltimore; the shy, partially deaf cardiologist Helen Taussig unrealistically turns up at a surgical cocktail party at Blalock's home, for example. But gone is an original scene in which Blalock and Thomas hold a conversation over urinals (divided by a barrier that separates blacks from whites), and there's not much off-color language, either.
Besides the surgeons, others at Hopkins also worked with HBO to help make the movie as true to the men, the medicine and the times as possible. Pre-production, Medical Archives' Andrew Harrison supplied the photographs, documents and people who could shed light on the way things were at Johns Hopkins in the 1940s. From this, sets were built, costumes created, props acquired. Because some of those props, such as the original set of instruments that Thomas devised in Blalock's dog lab, were supplied by Medical Archives, Harrison was often on location to guard them. Over time, he became a sort of on-site historian, suggesting, for example, as only an insider could, that some of the actors in a scene shot in the Billings Administration Building might rub the toe of the Christ statue. "There was never a time that HBO didn't at least listen," says Harrison.
In the end, everyone gained something and grew a little. Haller came to respect the filmmakers' consummate professionalism and the genius of the two stars—particularly Rickman, a Brit who mastered Blalock's Georgia drawl. ("I thought for all the world it was Blalock!") And Norris, who had launched a letter writing campaign to make sure his father-in-law was properly portrayed, now was dazzled by Mos Def. "It was scary to watch—scary in the metaphysical sense—because Mos Def became Vivien Thomas." When and if he meets the rapper-turned-actor, Norris says, "I'm going to shake his hand."
As for HBO, producer Robert Cort, on hand for the preview in March, said he had decided to show the film to the Hopkins group because he wanted to reassure them that Something the Lord Made shows them in the best possible light. "In the course of making the film," he said, "I came to understand the importance of the heritage of excellence at Johns Hopkins."

Beautiful Quote #NewPost [10]
Beautiful Quote #NewPost [10]
For me calc still sucks (I bomb almost every quiz even though i think I'm doing the problems the way my teacher shows us in class. And yes I have went to the math center and they don't really help me, I have talked with my professor and she doesn't really explain things and our schedules make it so I only have like 15 minutes at a time with her on most days, and I have asked my math teacher from Cairo to come over and try to help me but so far NOTHING helps…….. ) i basically failed my first exam and I have exam two on Wednesday. My psychology teacher sucks……… He is so boring and so uninteresting. We have had only one exam in his class and the class average was a 69% and that is the only grade we have because he never thought of homework things to help balance everything out….. My INCC class is boring because I thought it was going to help get more acquainted with the school and so far we have written infinite amounts of papers with no feed back and have to read an auto biography, talk about it in class and write more papers……. My english class is super easy and so I lose focus in there all the time. We spent three weeks learning about a prep phrase……… Choir is a ton of work and today was a really bad day. When ever we have sectionals (sections split and work on the songs for an hour and a half) I get talked over all the time and no one ever listens to what I say…After today's sectional I came back to my room and cried…. Voice lessons are going really good we have our midterm on Sunday…which scares me but I'm sure I will be fine….. I'm taking 17 credit hours instead of the original 15 I was taking when we met for 'lunch' that one day…..
In case you couldn't tell I'm super stressed out which as you know also means I'm getting sick and I can't sleep….. Tomorrow I'm going to the gym, since I have started college I have lost 15 pounds instead of gaining them (super excited!!!!!)
Super cute :D
Thts what the bruise looks like after today. Anybody think the nurse was crazy to suggest heat cause I do… that was painful!!!!!!!! :(
I mustache u a question…
I tried to give blood today… im gonna get a big and hurtful bruise… it didn't go so well…. :'(

I'm an INTJ: Introvert (95% lol) Intuitive (25%) Intuitive Thinking (25%) Judging (56%)Some cool facts:
- To outsiders, INTJs may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less decisive, is actually of a very specific rather than a general nature; its source lies in the specialized knowledge systems that most INTJs start building at an early age. When it comes to their own areas of expertise — and INTJs can have several — they will be able to tell you almost immediately whether or not they can help you, and if so, how. INTJs know what they know, and perhaps still more importantly, they know what they don't know.
- INTJs are perfectionists, with a seemingly endless capacity for improving upon anything that takes their interest. INTJs have also been known to take it upon themselves to implement critical decisions without consulting their supervisors or co-workers. On the other hand, they do tend to be scrupulous and even-handed about recognizing the individual contributions that have gone into a project, and have a gift for seizing opportunities which others might not even notice.
- Personal relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be the INTJ's Achilles heel. While they are capable of caring deeply for others (usually a select few), and are willing to spend a great deal of time and effort on a relationship, the knowledge and self-confidence that make them so successful in other areas can suddenly abandon or mislead them in interpersonal situations.
- This happens in part because many INTJs do not readily grasp the social rituals; for instance, they tend to have little patience and less understanding of such things as small talk. To complicate matters, INTJs are usually extremely private people, and can often be naturally impassive as well, which makes them easy to misread and misunderstand. Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense.
- Probably the strongest INTJ assets in the interpersonal area are their intuitive abilities and their willingness to "work at" a relationship. Although they do not always have the kind of natural empathy that many feelers do, the Intuitive function can often act as a good substitute by synthesizing the probable meanings behind such things as tone of voice, turn of phrase, and facial expression. This ability can then be honed and directed by consistent, repeated efforts to understand and support those they care about, and those relationships which ultimately do become established with an INTJ tend to be characterized by their robustness, stability, and good communications.
Some of these points ring very true :p Took this test a long time ago and I'm still the same INFJ.
To outsiders, INTJs may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes...
Mine too! INTJ's unite~ Mine: Introvert(56%) iNtuitive(75%) iNtuitive Thinking(38%) Judging(67%)
Dead on.

We hv a lovely stay in this hotel, room nice and clean, nice reception."
good restaurant, room was good and big, not sure what room it was as we got an upgrade. Can't complain"
The Majestic lives up to its name. The lobby is beautiful; the service exceptional. We stayed two nights and opted for a more expensive room with a river view the second night. Well worth it. The breakfast buffet is outstanding and lasts one till dinner.Would stay there again if I make it back to HCMC in future."
Great hotel, great service, charming historical building a stones throw from the Old Quarter. The room service breakfast was probably the only disappointing blip in a near perfect place."
I stayed at the Pullman for business, it was first visit to Hanoi. Service is great although I wasn't impressed by the standard of food."
Really like this hotel. The rooms are large and beds are comfortable. Service was very friendly. Breakfast was tasty and they also make eggs to order. My room had a small kitchen and washer - very convenient for families and for longer stays. Will stay here again."
Hotel staffs were nice, the only problem I had were the doors. My cousin and I stayed here for 1 night and we checked in at midnight. We had problems with locking and closing the doors and we spent so much time fixing and asking the staff to fix it a couple times. Other than that, everything else was okay."
I hope to return to Hoi An and would love to stay here again."
Fantastic 150 metre pool. Rooms were fine except for the heavy doors that slammed shut when people left , we were woken a few times at 5am! There is no beach just large boulders , beach activity is too the side of the hotel. Renovations are taking place no hope of being finished my May as its says on the board. Free shuttle does not run enough times & have to book in advance . Hotel needs interconnecting rooms to accommodate a family of 5 , they only do rooms for 4. Would definitely recommend hotel , great buffet breakfast"
Have just had a two night stay and it was just perfect. My husband wasn't feeling the best after getting sick at our previous location in Mui Ne so coming here was just what 'the doctor ordered'! Wouldn't hesitate to come back and look forward to another Sheraton stay in another destination."
Only good things to say. Affordable, lovely room and great staff"
Good with some shortcomings. Room view was outstanding, Fridge was not cold enough and I was unable to turn it up. Only one restaurant was operating out three. The top floor bar was also not operating. Bonus was that option of Bar and restaurant was just across the road. The tunnel to beach and Bar assisted the task of getting across the road."

Yes. Yes, I am, Robert.It's just so volatile, you guys. So visceral. So polarizing. Nope, not talking about Obama and Romney, I'm talking, of course, about the national crisis that is Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. The star-crossed pair are reportedly back together despite KStew's wondering vagina, but some people out there aren't so sure this is a good idea. And those "some people" are allegedly the people who make decisions. A Robsten insider claims that the studio will not let them promote Breaking Dawn Part II together lest it upsets the fans who are still angry at Kristen for betraying their Rob like that.
Yup! All those awkward red carpet premiere photos we were hoping for might not even happen.
Such a bummer. We'll find out at the end of next month whether or not this rumor is true when Kristen and Robert attend the London premiere of the film together, but frankly, I'd really like to see them try and look comfortable in front of throngs of screaming fans and photographers. I want them to promote together. It'd be amazing.
I can't blame the studio, though. If I were a big wig over there, I'd make sure my stars never overlapped on the red carpet, too. Twihards were devastated by the scandal, and why risk reminding them of the pain Kristen's actions caused by having her stand next to Rob like nothing happened? Nope, no way, not on my watch.
I'd treat KStew and RPattz like oil and water and make sure they never mixed at Breaking Dawn events. Until, well, until the world premiere in L.A., of course. That's when I'd let Rob and Kristen hold hands on the red carpet, and even kiss. It'd be the perfect storm of publicity for the movie, for the actors, and for the puppet-masters waiting in the wings to collect their enormous Breaking Dawn checks. Ah, Hollywood.
Do you think Kristen and Robert should appear separately at Breaking Dawn events?
Photo via angie22arts/Flickr
Let them appear together! I mean if he's forgiven her, then everyone else should too! HE is the one who got hurt!
THERE WAS NO SEX!! For anyone who can't get that pick a language you like and I'll find someone who speaks it because English isn't working. THERE WAS NO SEX!!!!! So the snarky comments about "wandering vagina" besides being ignorant as hell (this isn't Angelina who DOES have a wandering vagina) there are just not true. And every other publication that's been tracking the Rob and Kristen reunion is reporting that Summitt Entertainment and Lions Gate Studios are thrilled that Rob and Kristen will be promoting BD2 together.
You know what, the fans need to get a life. I am a huge fan of twilight. Also of Kristen and Rob. Let these people alone. People make mistakes, can't be mad at her golly, she's human too. I have always wanted these two to stay together, but how can they when the fans are acting like they've never done anything wrong. It's not right that they might not be together on the red carpet because of angy fans. Get over it. They deserve to be together on that red carpet as anyone. The fans need to stop acting so childish.
i think they should show up together,they made the movie together so they shouyld show up together. IF kristen did cheat on rob it's nobody's business,except theirs. everyone sometime or another cheats. but the other person usually forgives them. the couple should be left alone,& let them BOTH walk the red carpet together. i don't care if the fans are mad or upset or hurtfull at kristen for what she has done,ROB has forgiven her & so should everyone else..LEAVE them two alone
With the latest news, I think she ought just let him do all the premieres by himself. She ought to go to somewhere secluded and sunny; get a nice suntan, read some books and throw the damn laptop and cell phone into the ocean. Rob is no bf material and she should not be near him at all. A healing process needs to happen before she can get on with HER life, to forget the crap that all the haters, inconsiderate, self-serving idiots have typed about her. If I were her mom that's what I would advise her to do. She does not need any more grief.

Invest in the fast-growing world of mobile payments with NXPI
How a little insulation can go a long way

Ford Motor Co.
) surprised investors by doubling its quarterly dividend payment
to 10 cents from 5 cents for the first quarter of the year. The
news sent the stock to the highest level of $13.83 since July
The increased dividend will be paid on Mar 1 to shareholders of
record as on Jan 30. The automaker last paid a dividend of 10
cents per share in June 2006, which was reduced to 5 cents in
September 2006.
Ford is the only Detroit automaker that survived the global
economic crisis without seeking bankruptcy protection unlike
General Motors Company
) and Chrysler.
Ford resumed its dividend payment at the beginning of 2012 after
suspending it for more than five years in order to cope up with
the impact of global economic crisis. The resumption of dividend
came after posting the largest profit in 2011 since 1998.
Last year, the company regained its investment-grade ratings from
two agencies, including Moody's recently, and got its iconic blue
oval back following the release of all the assets pledged while
securing the $23.5 billion loan in 2006 for its turnaround plan.
The upgrade was driven by the company's strong market position
and higher profitability in North America, high cash balance,
ability to match production with market demand and sound
operating and financial management.
Ford lost its investment grade rating in 2005 soon before it
borrowed $23.5 billion for restructuring in 2006. The automaker
pledged all its domestic assets including the trademarks for its
logo, the F-150 truck and the Mustang sports car for securing the
Ford now made a comeback after six years by undertaking effective
restructuring measures. The measures include cost reductions,
renegotiating UAW contracts, and streamlining global operations.
The company's latest decision to raise dividend is backed by its
strong balance sheet, improved liquidity, promising business
outlook and recovery in the automotive industry.
Ford had cash and marketable securities of $24.1 billion as of
September 30, 2012, up from $20.8 billion in the corresponding
period a year ago. Total Automotive debt was unchanged at $14.2
billion at the end of the quarter compared with the same at the
end of the second quarter of the year.
The automaker made its last drawdown of low-cost loans for the
development of advanced vehicle technologies in August and began
repayment in September. The company also paid $600 million to its
worldwide funded pension plans, including $500 million in
discretionary payments to U.S. funded plans.
Auto sales in the U.S. grew 13.4% to the five-year high of 14.5
million vehicles in 2012 including a 9% rise to 1.4 million in
December last year. A host of macroeconomic factors helped the
industry reach the height. They include improving consumer
confidence, falling unemployment and improvement in home sales
and prices.
Sales were also fueled by strong pent-up demand, due to both
aging vehicles (average age of a car reached 11 years in the
U.S.) and the need to replace damaged vehicles from Hurricane
Sandy. Banks were also friendlier as they offered greater access
to loans with lower interest rates.
Ford's sales edged up 4.7% to 2.3 million vehicles in 2012,
including a 1.9% gain in December to 214,222 vehicles, as sales
of some of its highest selling vehicles, Ford Escape SUV (2.6%
gain) and Fusion sedan (2.7% decline), were hurt by vehicle
safety recalls. However, the company's market share reduced to
15.5% in 2012 from 16.8% in 2011.
Further, Ford expects to lose between $500 million and $600
million in 2012 in the 19 European markets covered by the
automaker owing to the ongoing debt crisis in the region. The
figure compared with a meager $27 million loss recorded by the
company in 2011. It also expects market share in Europe to be
lower than 8.3% in 2011.
However, the automaker expects to meet challenges in the U.S. and
Europe by executing its "One Ford" plan. The company aims to

7 steps for taking better photos-beginner's guideHello and welcome to my little guide on how to make better photos*.
*Photos that are technically correct; with little grain, right exposure, right composition, etc.
So, some of you have probably gotten a new camera during the holidays and it's so shiny and look at all the details, is that a pore on my face, and everything is great, but what are all these numbers and letters on my screen, let's just use auto mode. And then it all begins. The depression. The photos lack something... That sparkle of life, you know. You ask why? Is this the way of god trying to tell me that I have no talents and that I wasted my money?
You just need a bit of guidance, that's all. Here are some tips for beginners and those who might need it.
Step 1
It's safe now to turn off auto mode.
What are you saying?! These are too complicated to understand, why should I?
You remember that thing that lacks? That thing is - you, your touch. All the numbers seem hard, but
Tips for the creative photographer #2I´m by no means saying I am any expert, but I hope some of this might prove beneficial.
Screw the rules
It is very good to know and be aware of composition, correct exposure, to compensate or not to, but it does sometimes mess with your own creative approach.
The camera and lens is plastic, metal and glass and just tools for you to use, they should be treated as such.
A good thing is to get that perfectly exposed and composed shot out of the way and then just flip to a new page.
Try for instance to take a picture of something with the sun behind it and completely blow the whites out leaving the subject correctly exposed without the use of a flash, it might just be the shot you choose instead of the "correct" one.
Absolutely no harm in using other tools than just the camera and a tripod, people have gotten cover shots of eagles diving in the water for food the photographer has brought and thrown there as bait.
Spray some water on a flower on a sunny day, who ha
A few simple photography tipsThought Id share a few simple yet effective photography tips for the creative photographer.
Macro done easy
Set your lens to its closest focusing range and move physically towards the subject until it is sharp.
If you are using longer lenses it really helps to lay down and hold the camera and lens almost like you are shooting a gun, and remember your breathing when shooting.
This is also a great technique for bokeh shots, with a 50 mm at its closest focusing range and background further away you will blow the background to bits.
Don´t be stationary
It is very easy to put down a tripod and just stand on the same spot shooting, instead try moving around a bi, experiment with angles, left, right, high, low until you hit that perfect angle for the scene.
Slow the shutter
You don´t always need a ND filter to block out light to get even slower shutter speed, you can either use this technique with your hand or better with a cardboard (black if you got colored one).

Intimate, touching, emotive IXThis feature is for all the happy couples in the world, the love shared in families, and for the good friends.
I found someone that made my life colorful again. Someone that makes me want to live my life happily. We are a couple for two months now, but it already feels like years when we talk to each other. It's like I have found a soulmate. A person I can always relate to and a person always being there for me. With him, I feel like a princess, and like a little star.
I love you, Sascha.

"Surrealism is embedded in the everyday, in the daily experience." - Katharine Conley
This week the general theme of the article is Infrared Photography. You may know it well for its vision into a dream like world where the trees appear to be fluffy candyfloss and the grass is blue or Orange...Infrared is not as far away from achievable as you might think. This week some wonderful Deviants have shared their infrared views and art to try and help us understand the technique a little better. I rather thought it was time that the infrared community on deviantART had a bit more recognition too!

Microsoft Office Mobile for Android rolls out in Asia
Summary: The application is now available in Asia among 14 markets including Singapore, India, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, and the Philippines. The roll out will reach China over the next few weeks.
Microsoft's Office Mobile for Android phones has finally reached Asia in key markets such as India and Singapore, nearly a month after its U.S. launch. The Android app will also be available in Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese--making it available in 33 languages altogether.
It's now available in 14 additional markets in the Asia-Pacific, joining 102 others around the world such as Australia and New Zealand:
- Bangladesh,
- Cambodia,
- Fiji,
- Hong Kong,
- India,
- Indonesia,
- South Korea,
- Laos,
- Malaysia,
- Papua New Guinea,
- Philippines,
- Singapore,
- Sri Lanka,
- and Taiwan.
The app is expected to be rolled out in China in the next few weeks.
Office Mobile can be downloaded from the Google Play store, but requires an Office 365 subscription to use. It allos users to access, view and edit files by Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and is also optimized for the small smartphone screen.
Features of the app include "Resume Reading" which when opening a Word document from SkyDrive on the phone, it automatically resumes at the place where the user had stopped, even if you last viewed on other devices such as the PC or tablet.
The introduction of the app in the new markets will help Microsoft drive traction in the mobile space, as it looks to cater to users on the go on various platforms.

dream catcher.
if ever one of your dreams falls
i will catch it, and treasure it
softly between my lips
until you reclaim it.
i saw you at the window
wearing a yellow dress
and a white smile.
you stopped.
you breathed,
before untangling your hair
from where it was caught on the sun.
you fiddled with a few blue petals
nervously between your fingers.
delicately nervous,
like the wind;
so unassuming and beautiful
that it took my breath away—
before taking my heart.

I came to Fo:AM to answer a very large mental block about my newest project about a new speculative fringe community, The Bioluddites.
He's told Facebook probably tens of thousands of things about his life and economic activity. Robert Scoble is, in fact, one of Facebook's most delightful products. He's turned over his short-term memory and the digital wormcast of his waking hours over to a company that sells advertising space on the basis that their products – also know as "their users" and their tracked activities – can be induced to spend money through targeting.
Put another way: there is, in fact, a little bit of Robert Scoble's brain that is now the Facebook Cortex.
And, through his usual hyperactivity, he's become an even better product: there are 350,000 people following Scoble on Facebook, clicking Like on his Foursquare checkins and Spotify reports – and by those actions Facebook can compile consumer profiles on each of them, too. That little chunk of brain that Scoble has turned over to Facebook is helping to make all his readers better products, too.
Buzludha is Bulgaria's largest ideological monument to Communism. Designed by architect Guéorguy Stoilov, more than 6000 workers were involved in its 7 year construction including 20 leading Bulgarian artists who worked for 18 months on the interior decoration. A small, universally expected donation from every citizen in the country formed a large portion of the funds required to build this impressive structure that was finally unveiled in 1981 on what was the 1300th anniversary of the foundation of the Bulgarian state.
Buried in the monument's concrete structure, is a time capsule containing a message for future generations explaining the significance of the building.
In September 2011, the Bulgarian cabinet transferred ownership of the monument to the Bulgarian Socialist party.
Bulgaria's Prime Minister Boyko Borisov declared, "We shall let them take care of it because here it also holds true that a party which does not respect its past and its symbols has no future".

Adelaide Train Map
Adelaide Train Map
This map covers the metropolitan Adelaide region of the state of South Australia. Adelaide, with a population of around 1 million, prides itself on its artistic, culinary and sporting lifestyle. Adelaide has some unique characteristics amongst Australian cities including that it has a particularly high proportion of its population of German ancestry, and intriguingly is the only city in the nation where the locals speak with any hint of a regional accent.
Whilst Adelaide was originally a well-planned city, local authorities from the mid 20th Century until recently were beholden to the motor industry, and this dramatically marred the development of adequate rail transport. Adelaide has unarguably the worst metropolitan rail service in the nation, and is currently the only major city in Australia without electric train services. However - positive things are happening!
Adelaide Trains
Suburban trains are operated by Adelaide Metro. All trains are operated by air-conditioned diesel railcars, and run over four main routes and two branch lines. The services operate regularly throughout the day, but are infrequent at night and on weekends. All trains operate to and from what was formerly Australia's grandest station - Adelaide Station which was modelled on New York's Grand Central terminal. Tragically, this once wonderful station is now but a shadow of its former self since having been converted into a casino, and the trains which once majestically arrived and departed at the sweeping concourse that was the front entrance to the city now slink in and out along an unpleasant covered-over set of tracks, almost as if the railway is something of which to be ashamed. Long-distance interstate trains have been banished from the terminal, and they now arrive and depart at a mightily unremarkable location ironically called "Adelaide Parklands Terminal" in the industrial suburb of Keswick.
Adelaide is now however investing once again in its railways, its busiest route to the South is being electrified and extended from Noarlunga to Seaford. Plans for electrification of further lines have been shelved, but will inevitably be re-activated following the opening of the rejuvenated Seaford line on February 23 2014.
Adelaide Trams
There is a tantalising remnant of a wonderful electric street tramway system - the 'Bay Tram' runs between Adelaide City and the bayside suburb of Glenelg. Until 1958, an extensive network of electric tram routes served the city, and despite Adelaide's ideal geography and street geometry to support trams, the network was closed in that less enlightened era. Until 2006 this tram route was operated by wonderful and venerable but antique 1929 vintage American style interurban tramcars. In recent years however, the tram line has been extensively rebuilt, a new fleet of modern trams has been introduced, and the line extended from its long-time terminus in Victoria Square northward to Adelaide Railway Station, City West and further to Hindmarsh Entertainment Centre (Bowden). There are plans for further extensions to the North West and in future years significant reinstatement of lines to all corners of the suburbs where trams formerly ran until 1958.

A unique story in Australia's transport history is the O-Bahn busway which runs to the North-Eastern suburbs. In the late 1970s the opportunity arose to re-invigorate the tramway by extending it through the city along the 'Modbury Corridor'. As was all too often the case in Adelaide, a road-based solution was preferred by the government of the day, and the German designed O-bahn guided busway was constructed instead. This still operates today, and is worth a ride whilst in Adelaide as you are unlikely to see too many of these around the world and the busway itself is ageing so it is unclear what its future lifespan may be.
