Fantastic Four reboot: No costumes for the superheroes?
FollowThe Fantastic FourYou and 15,565 are followingThe Fantastic FourUnfollowThe Fantastic Four
Kate Mara sat with IGN to chat about her upcoming superhero film, The Fantastic Four.
When asked about her take on Sue Storm and the film...
Her reply is this -
"Uhh, well, I don't know very much about it [the reboot], umm, which is weird, but true."
Now, once I heard her say that I wanted to slap my forehead (out of frustration) but at least she's honest.
She countinues -
"All I know is it's going to be a very different take on the film, than what people probably expect. Umm, uhh, I'm not really familiar with the comic books very much. I've read a few of them since I got the part. I think we're making a very grounded version of a superhero film. I trust Josh Trank's vision."
Pretty much throughout the entire interview she sounds very uncertain and with the constant "umm's" that doesn't help, either. And she mentions the lack of communication, if the team is getting suits/costumes or not?
I'm still interested in this movie because of the director and cast but we'll see what happens.
Fantastic Four releases in 2015!

Aston CEO claims Cygnet cancelled because Toyota is dropping iQ in 2014
October 28, 2013 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Hatchback , Aston Martin , Scion , Toyota While slow sales and a $50,000 price tag may have been contributing factors to the Aston Martin Cygnet being cancelled last month , Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez is pointing the finger at Toyota for the demise of this luxurious little city car. In a discussion with Autocar , Bez is quoted as saying that the ultimate reason the Cygnet was cut is because Toyota plans on dropping the iQ (on which the Cygnet is based) in 2014 – a claim denied by the Japanese automaker. Interestingly, the article also cites another publication reporting that a Toyota importer in the Netherlands heard the same news as Bez, and it has already stopped importing the cars. If the European Toyota iQ is cancelled, that would likely spell the end of the slow-selling Scion iQ in the US, which has sold just 3,365 units through September (a drop of 51 percent year over year). Regardless of why production of the Cygnet ended, Bez also says that a lack of support from Toyota on the project prevented it from being offered in the US or receiving a supercharged engine , which are two factors that likely would have made the car appealing to more buyers.

Toyota snags Davidson, Buemi to drive TS030 at Le Mans
February 13, 2012 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Motorsports , Hirings/Firings/Layoffs , Toyota F1 drivers typically have a shelf life shorter than what you otherwise might call a career. As the constant stream of new, young drivers usurps existing F1 seats, you're left with a wealth of talent available to contest other forms of motorsport. That's how you end up with former grand prix pilots in other series like IndyCar , DTM and even ice racing . Then there's Le Mans . Every year the most famous of endurance races packs its grid with rejects from the Formula One circus, and 2012 is no exception, particularly with Toyota launching a works effort out of the German facility that used to house its F1 team. Toyota has already confirmed that the first of its TS030 Hybrid LMP1 racers will be driven by former F1 drivers Alex Wurz and Kazuki Nakajima (along with Nicolas Lapierre), and has now announced that Anthony Davidson and Sebastien Buemi are on the roster for the second car. Davidson is an established F1 test driver, having worked for the team known successively as BAR, Honda , Brawn and Mercedes . He's also driven a handful of grands prix for Super Aguri and Minardi , and contested Le Mans and related series for Aston Martin Racing and Peugeot Sport , including a win at Sebring. Buemi drove the last three F1 seasons for Scuderia Toro Rosso until being cut this year. He'll combine his endurance racing debut with his test driver role at Red Bull Racing .
Toyota to field all-new LMP1 at Le Mans next year?
June 19, 2011 by ToyotaBloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Motorsports , Toyota 1998 Toyota GT-One – Click above for high-res image gallery This year's 24 Hours of Le Mans packed plenty of action, but there weren't as many automakers fielding their own entries in the top-tier LMP1 category as you might think. There was Audi , of course, which has dominated the category for years, arch-rival Peugeot , with its diesel-powered challenger, and Aston Martin , which stepped up to the big leagues after dominating just about every GT category for years. Honda Performance Development had a couple of cars in the second-tier LMP2 category, and there were plenty of factory-supported GT cars. The rest of the LMP1 field was filled by privateers running mostly Lola, Zytek, Oreca or Judd chassis, powered by a variety of engines. But the coming years could see an influx of new automakers aiming to take on Audi for the top honors. According to the latest rumors, race organizers ACO are in discussions with a number of car manufacturers interested in entering the LMP1 category. Chief among them is reportedly Toyota , which is said to have been working on its own prototype since last year. The Toyota LMP1 is reportedly being developed with Dome – a Japanese chassis constructor that's built such racing machinery as the competition-spec Honda NSX , an aborted F1 program and several Le Mans prototypes, as well as a handful of Toyota racers in the 1980s – and incorporates a hybrid powertrain. The last time Toyota competed at Le Mans was with the GT-One (pictured above), which raced there in 1998 and 1999 but held the lap record at La Sarthe until 2006. The new entry, according to reports, could be ready for an assault on next year's 24 Hours of Le Mans.

We thought this was fabulous, but I did make a few changes: no water, used liquid egg whites from a box in addition to the fresh eggs, used only a scant 1/2 cup of SEASONED bread crumbs and did not stir them, letting them form a nice crust. My omelet cooked in about three minutes, so I don't know where that 15 minutes in the recipe comes from! Served with the warm potato salad, the lemon-garlic greens, and baba ganoush with pita slices.

Montgomery, Al. (WSFA) -- The Alabama Department of Transportation Sunday closed three major on-ramps to Interstate 65 north as part of a massive makeover of the interstate.
The exits at the Southern Boulevard, Edgemont Avenue and Fairview Avenue will remain closed for at least a month.
ALDOT officials acknowledge this will be an inconvience to more than 140,000 people who travel up and down this part of I-65 daily, but add there's no other way around it.
The temporary closure is part of a $193 million deal to widen I-65 to six lanes from the River Bridge back to the Catoma Creek Bridge.
That is a distance of more than four miles.
Tony Harris with AlDOT tells WSFA 12 News the entire I-65 project should be wrapped up by October of 2009.
The DOT encouranges those commuters who typically use those off and on ramps to use alternative routes for the time being.

SHOCK AND JAW US swimmer Ryan Lochte, wearing a Stars-and-Stripes-themed dental "grill," poses on the podium with the gold medal after winning the men's 400m individual medley swimming event at the London 2012 Olympic Games on July 28, 2012 in London. Lochte once explained his fashion choice: "For those who don't know what a grill is, it's basically a retainer filled with diamonds. … I wear it when I go on the podium. It's just a unique way of showing my personality out to everyone. (Photo: Fabrice Coffrini / AFP via First Coast News / USA Today)

Back To Reality - A Jonas Brothers FanFiction - Chapter Eight
Chapter Eight
Kevin knocked on Nick's bedroom door just like he did for the past fifteen minutes.
"What?" came a muffled groan from inside.
"Please… open the door." Said Kevin as he leaned his head against the wall, "Pl-"
The door cracked open, "What?" asked Nick as he rubbed his eyes.
"It's time to go to the studio." Said Kevin flatly as he scanned Nick up and down.
"I don't feel good." Said Nick as he closed the door
Kevin thrust his hand in the little gap in the door way, "Wow there bucko!! You said that you didn't feel good for the past three weeks!! Mom took your to the doctor and you are perfectly fine!! Now get out of our sweat pants, get your sweatshirt off and put on some clothes. We're leaving in an hour, so be down stairs for breakfast in ten minutes."
With that, Kevin turned around and walked down the stairs. Joe walked out of his room, "What's his problem?"
Nick's bedroom door slammed shut and the curiosity in Joe made him wonder what was wrong with Nick. Joe knocked on the door, "Nick? Are you ok?" Joe twisted the handle and walked inside.
"EW!!!" said Joe as he picked his left shoe out of a melted carton of cotton candy ice cream "What is that I just stepped in? Never mind, I don't think I want to know! … Nick? Why's your room all messy?"
"Why are we having guests?" asked Nick as he pulled a shirt over his head
"No…" asked Joe becoming very confused "Your room is just usually the cleanest in the house and now…it looks like a dump."
"Why do I always have to the one that's organized and confident all the time?! Can't I just be unlike me for a while?" said Nick as he threw his sweatpants at Joe
Joe cautiously walked out the room backwards, "Ok…whatever you say Nick, whatever you say!"
Frankie ran down the hallway towards Nick's bedroom with a bunch of papers and almost knocked Joe off his feet. He swung Nick's door open, "Nick!! I need help!!"
"Go talk to Joe or Kevin," said Nick as he ran his fingers through his hair
"But I need your help!" said Frankie as he sat down at Nick's messy desk, "I just can't figure out how to end this song and I know you can always think of someth-"
Nick rolled his eyes, "If you promise to leave me alone for the rest of the day, I'll help you. Deal?"
A very confused Frankie stood up and said, "Ok…sure… whatever."
Nick followed Frankie out of the door and downstairs into the dinning room. Nick looked at his brothers to his parents and sighed, "Morning."
"Morning!" said everyone very cheerfully
"Sit down, honey, your pancakes are getting cold." Said Mrs. Jonas
"I'm not hungry." Said Nick as he sat down and took a dip of his orange juice.
Joe stood up, "You know what NO!! You will eat something because you haven't eaten anything for weeks!!"
Mr. and Mrs. Jonas gasped "You didn't eat for weeks!! What do you mean?!!" said Mrs. Jonas
"What about your blood sugar?" asked Mr. Jonas
Nick looked down, "I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know?!?" shouted Kevin as Nick's eyes filled with tears. "Don't you care about anything anymore?!?"
"W-why should I? Melanie's never coming back!!" said Nick as he walked out of the room
"He's this upset over a girl?!?!" said Frankie shocked, "Ew!!!"
Mrs. Jonas' eyes filled with tears, "Paul… our little boy is-"
"Irresponsible? Not longer caring? Stupid? All of the above plus more?" asked Mr. Jonas
"In love." Finished Mrs. Jonas as Joe and Kevin exchanged worried glances.
The boys ran out of the room after Nick. They saw him grab his coat so they ran and blocked the front door.
"Move." Said Nick not making eye contact, "Please, move."
"No." said Kevin "Not in a million years."
Joe looked down, "Nick…it's not like we don't trust you it's just-"
"You're afraid that my messed up head will make me do something I'll regret." Said Nick as he wiped tears from his cheek "But I won't do anything stupid; I just wanna clear my head."
Joe and Kevin exchanged worried, concerned glances, "Why don't we start out in short increments and if you do ok with that you can have total freedom again." Replied Kevin
Nick smiled, "Ok."
"Now, let us ALL get into the dinning room and ALL of us will eat our breakfast before going to the studio." Said Joe as he wrapped his arms around both of his brothers' necks, "We'll get everything back to normal…don't you worry."

Sell Now? Or, Wait Another 1-2 Years.
A: If you intend to SELL within the next 1-2 years, and you qualify for 1 of the 2 most popular Tax Benefits (see post), then YES, plan to put your apartment on the market NOW, and specifically in the middle of January.
With interest rates still moving up and the current consensus being another one 1/4 point rate hike, possibly 2, it might be wise to cash out in the coming months as year end bonuses bring buyers back to the market.
If 30YR fixed rates are around the 6% mark right now, they will most likely move to the 6.375% - 6.5% range by this time next year, making it more expensive for buyers to borrow money for housing. While that is not enough to cause a nation-wide or city-wide housing crash, it is enough to slow down the housing market. From a risk-reward standpoint, it seems there is more downside risk than upside risk as we move towards the end of 2006.
If you own your apartment and were thinking of selling in the next 1-2 years, it might be safest to sell sooner rather than later, and take your profits to a 4% yielding money market account; such as EmigrantDirect.com. After all, 4% is not all that bad!
If you have owned and lived in your home for at least 2 out of the last 5 years OR if you intend to put your profits to work in real estate that is of equal or greater value than the property you just sold, it is also advised to sell your property sooner rather than later.
However, if you do qualify for either of these tax advantages but you planned on living in your home for the next 10 years, then try as best as you can NOT to evaluate what MIGHT happen in the housing market over the next 1-2 years. Over the long haul housing has proved time and time again to be one of the most solid investments you can make, and there are certain circumstances that would lead me to advise you to sell now. If those circumstances do not fit your long term investment plans, then dont act irrationally.
MY PREDICTION: Expect a housing correction between April 2006 and December 2007, leading to a good buying opportunity during the summer of 2007. Those homebuyers who have bought more property than they can afford and rationalized the purchase by taking out a short term creative mortgage product, will find themselves paying hundreds more in monthly costs as their ARM's expire. As sad as it is to me, expect disgraced homeowners to be forced to sell their properties at a loss over the next few years, when they discover they cant afford their mortgage payments.

SimCity Devs Do Reddit AMA – No SimCity 5 For Me
I am a SimCity fan, with the exception of 4 and The Sims. I lost more hours playing the game years ago so when I heard that they were working on a new version of the game my heart began to beat a little faster.
The I heard about this "requires an Internet connection at all times" crap and I wept a little.
I'm guessing that I'm not alone it this as the Simcity developers took to Reddit to do an AMA to help alleviate any worries people might have had. Well, that didn't work out so well as the team was taken to task almost immediately over this draconian DRM, which I found out was worse than I thought.
Apparently not only do you have to always be connected to the Internet while playing the game, even single player, but players would be funneled through EA's terrible Origin service.
When asked about those gamers who have problematic internet connection this was Senior Producer Kip Katsarelis' answer"
Sorry, I replied to it below. Not avoiding. Here was the reply…
"I actually just ran over to our online engineering team to get the latest info. We do handle "short" internet outages gracefully. Meaning, if your internet goes out while you're logged in and playing the game, we can can recover gracefully. You shouldn't notice a thing. "Short" is still being defined."
I'm sorry but the fact that EA, and Maxis is "requiring" an always on Internet connection and the fact that I have to go through Origin has just wiped any thought of buying SimCity from my mind.
Stupid EA, just plain stupid.

Wildlife Conservation Society and Ramsar to host conference
On behalf of the Interagency Planning Group on Environmental Funds (IPG), the Wildlife Conservation Society and the Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar, 1971) announce the forthcoming Conference for African Environmental Funds: Sustainable Finance for Conservation in Africa, scheduled from April 3rd-6th, 2002 in Arusha, Tanzania.
The conference will allow environmental funds from Africa to come together for the first time, providing both funds and donors the chance to share information and obtain a continent-wide perspective of conservation initiatives. In addition, funds will be able to explore future joint training and collaboration opportunities.
The increasing interest and rapid growth of environmental funds suggest that there is a wide range of organizations and institutions which could benefit from experience gained in setting up and managing funds. These funds are also increasingly seen as an excellent mechanism to improve or strengthen the implementation of Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs), such as the Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar, 1971) and the management of related sites.
Already more than 19 established and emerging environmental funds on the continent have registered to attend the event, representing such countries as Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi, South Africa, Cote d'Ivoire, Madagascar, Ghana, Kenya, Botswana, Cameroon. Thanks to a grant from the MacArthur Foundation, most of the participation costs for the African funds will be covered by the IPG.
The conference announcement and programme is attached. Persons interested in attending the conference or learning more about the event can visit the Web site www.conservationfinance.org. For more information on the Ramsar Convention, visit www.ramsar.org. Prospective participants are urged to make their travel arrangements soon and should plan to arrive in Arusha by 2 April to allow time for arranged transport to the conference site at the Manyara Safari Lodge.

John G Robinson, PhD., Senior Vice President, Wildlife Conservation Society, Washington, D.C., USA
Sustainable Finance for Conservation in Africa
A Conference for African Environmental Funds
April 3-6, 2002, Serena Lake Manyara Lodge, Tanzania
This conference will be the first African forum to bring together environmental funds operating on the continent. It will offer opportunities for African funds to learn from conservation finance experts and environmental funds from around the world as well as from each other.

It has not taken long for stalls and tourist shops around the Vatican to start selling a variety of items featuring the face of the newly elected Pope Francis. And they're going fast.
VATICAN CITY — Less than 48 hours after his surprise election, Pope Francis' smiling face adorns pendants and devotional souvenir cards packaged with rosaries at the trinket stands near St. Peter's Square.
Small plastic bags containing a picture of Francis and a rosary — a string of prayer beads — were selling for €7 ($9) at Antonio Cardone's stand and postcards showing the new pontiff were selling briskly at 50 cents.
"We expect more stuff to arrive in the coming days," said Cardone. "Especially when he's officially installed on Tuesday."
Another stallholder, Stefano Di Segni, said his suppliers were scrambling to meet demand now that uncertainty had ended over who would take over after the abdication of Benedict XVI.
Nearby, outside a Vatican City bookshop, tourists were swarming around posters with the face of the new pope on one side and excerpts from his first address on the other. Inside, they were buying Pope Francis pendants and holy cards.
Di Segni said the most popular item on his stall was still a rosary set with an image of Pope John Paul II, who died in 2005.
But he said Francis, the former Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina, had the potential to become as revered as his much-loved Polish predecessor, who reigned for 27 years.
"I think he's going to be a good pope," said Di Segni, who has run trinket stands around the Vatican for 30 years.
"He was very emotional when he spoke for the first time, so different from Benedict, who was more cold and reserved."

Unfortunately we were unable to make it to the top as part of the mountain was closed to traffic, But we enjoyed ourselves anyway!
