Bollywood and culture in an emerging India
Madras Cafe: An intelligence failure
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters)
After last year's clever and heart-warming comedy "Vicky Donor", filmmaker Shoojit Sircar switches genres with "Madras Cafe", a thriller about the Sri Lankan conflict, India's role in the civil war, and the repercussions of that war on India's politics and history.
To try and deal with such a controversial subject is commendable and Sircar and co-writer Juhi Chaturvedi should be complimented. Unfortunately, intentions aside, "Madras Cafe" doesn't deserve too many compliments.
John Abraham stars in this leaden film as an army officer sent to Sri Lanka at the height of the civil war to launch covert operations targeting the leader of the biggest Tamil separatist outfit (called LTF in the film).
Vikram Singh walks about Jaffna with a swagger, sporting a Ray-Ban and looking completely out of place. He somehow visits a top guerrilla leader deep in the jungle, pretending to be a reporter even after his cover is blown, and turns to an actual journalist (Nargis Fakhri) to extract the smallest bit of information.
I, Me aur Main: Let down by inconsistencies
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author, and not necessarily of Thomson Reuters)
I have to confess I didn't go into Kapil Sharma's "I, Me aur Main" with too many expectations. The posters certainly did nothing to pique my excitement. But 30 minutes into the film, I was intrigued. This wasn't a run-of-the-mill story; the protagonist was someone you would want to hit on the head within the first half-hour.
Race 2: Slow and unsteady doesn't win this race
In the world created by Abbas-Mustan, if you are a multi-billionaire who wants to build a casino and are refused permission by the government, you invite the official responsible out for drinks, dance with him and then shoot him in the middle of a crowded discotheque and walk out without batting an eyelid.
In this world of "Race 2", you can get away with stealing the Shroud of Turin with something as simple as a decoy bomb and people use "sensor technology" to play card games and spy on their loved ones. It may have looked cool 20 years ago, but now it's just a tad ridiculous.
Housefull 2: Twice the torture
Reviewing a movie like Sajid Khan's "Housefull 2" is a futile exercise. In fact, I don't think the makers of this film made it for creative purposes — this is a money-making venture, and going by the number of people who came to watch it at 9: 15 a.m. on Good Friday morning, I would say it's well on its way to becoming a successful one.
Khan doesn't take off from where the first "Housefull" left off — this is a whole other story. But he does keep the toilet humour, over-the-top acting and noise pollution that characterised the 2010 film. Instead of laughing gas at the Buckingham Palace, he adds a fake Prince Charles who attends a wedding at the end and persuades one of the characters to stop shooting people in the name of "the queen and the country".
Force: If only muscles could act
When a movie has at least three prominent product placements in the first ten minutes of a film, you are bound to cringe. Nishikant Kamat's "Force" will make you wince, at least in the first half of the film, and not just because of the product placements. Thankfully, unlike most films, this one gets better — so there is hope yet.
Kamat, who earlier directed "Mumbai Meri Jaan" — on the Mumbai train blasts and its aftermath — now turns to the essential cop film. You know the drill — honest, upright police officer, out to finish the bad guys (the drug dealers in this case), falls in love with bubbly girl whose only actual function is two songs and being kidnapped by the bad guys, and lots of action scenes in deserted warehouses.
Jhootha Hi Sahi: The truth is out and it's ugly
I have a serious complaint against lovers in Bollywood films. Even if they know where the other person stays and can easily deliver the "I love you" speech at the lover's house, they insist on hanging off a cliff or climbing atop a bridge from where they can declare their undying love for each other. Don't they realise how ridiculous it looks?
As you can guess, the above rant is inspired by a scene in Abbas Tyrewala's "Jhootha Hi Sahi", a dreary and dull rom-com that features perhaps the most wooden performances by a lead pair that I can remember and a lot of inane situations like the one described above.
Aashayein: Don't hope for much
Nagesh Kukunoor's "Aashayein" is one of those films that you will forget the minute you leave the theatre – there isn't much in the film that will keep you gripped from start to end, but it isn't so repelling that you want to get out of the theatre and leave.
For a film that is supposed to tug at your heartstrings, this one barely manages to touch them and except for a few moments, hardly any of the characters or their stories make an impact on you.
World Cup mania hits Bollywood brigade
Football fever is taking over the world and Bollywood's glamorous brigade hasn't been left untouched.
Film stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Imran Khan and Lara Dutta are either headed to or are already in South Africa to catch a glimpse of football heaven.
Dhoni gets hitched; celebrities tweet best wishes
As one of India's most eligible bachelors tied the knot late on Sunday night, you could almost hear the sound of a million hearts breaking.
But along with that, you could also hear the sound of a million fingers typing furiously on their phones, so that they could tweet their best wishes to Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his bride.
New York: A film that will grow on you
Coming as it does nearly three months after a big-ticket Bollywood release — Kabir Khan's "New York" is a relief.
The story of three friends whose lives change in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks in New York, the film manages to hold your attention for the most part, mainly because of some astute direction and its performances.

Top Ten: DIY Painting Tips and Tricks
As Albus Dumbledore says, "...the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy".
This choice is especially apparent when planning a paint job at home. We've done painting both quickly (not recommended) and thoughtfully (much, much better).
From all around the web, here are some tips that bear repeating:
1.Take a day for prep. Set aside time the day before painting to move furniture, patch walls and tape. Line the inside of your paint tray with a plastic kitchen trash bag, taped in place for easy clean up later.
2. Remove hardware. Put all the bits of the door knobs or switchplates into separate zip top bags and write where they came from right on the bag. It ends up being easier and faster to remove and reinstall rather than trying to work around them.
3. Move stuff. Take everything off the walls and move what you can to another room. If you can't move it out, put it all toward the center of the room and cover with dropcloths.
4. Use Primer. The paint will perform much better and tinted primers save money and time by reducing the number of coats you'll need to do.
5. Clean as you go. Have paper towels and rags handy. Scrape excess paint or drips from windows, tile, or glass with straight razor blades.
6. Keep the paint flowing smoothly. Only transfer about an inch into your tray or painting container. Cover your paint can in between these refills to keep the air out.
7. Store your brush. Instead of washing it out each time you take a break just use plastic wrap around it. For overnight, wrap in plastic, put it in a bag and store it in the freezer.
8.Save your leftover paint, not the giant cans. Use small glass jars or food storage containers to store just the bit of paint you'll need for touching up scratches or dents. Labeling really helps - make it easy on yourself do you don't have to remember exactly what you used where.

Best Painting Tips
14 Comments
I speak from having painted nearly every home I have lived in my entire life, including my childhood bedroom several times before I left home.
As stated in #2 above... If it is attached with screws... Remove it! Nothing is tackier than a paint slopped light switch cover, and it doesn't take but a minute to do it right. That goes for doorknobs, light fixtures, outlet covers, vent covers, doorstops, even hinges at times.
Also, I usually take more time prepping than I do painting, it pays off big time with the end result being very nice.
Another tip, instead of taping everything off, practice using a cutting brush to cut in the ceiling and at corners. Taping works great if you have perfectly smooth walls and ceilings, but is otherwise a waste of time. You would be amazed what a little practice with a good brush can result in. I almost never use tape, and that saves time. (Do practice first though.)
I don't tape either, but keep a wet cloth with me, to wipe up smears and drips asap. ALso, the plastic bag in the tray is a brilliant tip, one I learned a LONG time ago from my stepfather. I've wowed many a person with this while painting various projects. Instant cleanup!
having recently completed my first home painting project (a month and a half before a surprise move, how annoying!), i have to say that it went SO well considering i really had no idea what i was doing. and it was all becuase i prepped like an anal madwoman. i just read as much as possible about painting and although it took longer at first, the results were well worth it. i think i may have used a bit more tape then necessary, but better safe then sorry! (i may practice that cutting thing next time.)
for me, the one lesson i learned is the paint color is almost NOTHING like it looks on the chip! everyone tells you that, but i was still shocked to see it in the can and on my walls. so my only addition to this list is if you REALLY care about getting the exact right shade, you MUST test a sample in the space to be painted! i know i will when i start painting in my new room this weekend (wish me luck!)
and although the plastic bag in the tray sounds like a great idea, i just got tray liners, they were very cheap. i would worry about the bag or tape getting caught on the roller and and accidentally pulling it out and making a huge paint covered mess!
I'm in the middle of prepping and painting my living room, for the second time within the past year (ugh!). Tried a green-gray color last year; everyone says it looks great, but I've come to realize that I am an off-white type of guy - with pops of color via accesories, e.g., pillows, throws, etc.
Had to repaint the ceiling this past weekend. I bought this Wagner paint stick. I kid you not - best thing I ever bought ($16 at Lowes). I tore through the ceiling and I can't wait to get to the walls.
There are two kinds of Wagner paint sticks out there - get the one where you have to PUSH the paint through the tube to the roller; do NOT get the Wagner paint stick with the trigger - I heard that one sucks.
And I prefer not using tape - once you get the hang of it, cutting really is simple. The important thing is that you have to be really patient and not be hurry to get the job - that's where cutting mistakes tend to happen.
Does anyone use TSP? And how do you paint behind the toilet?
Painting behind the toilet...
That is one time where I use tape to cover the tank in newspaper, and paint as far behind the tank as the brush will go. Then carefully hand cut the area near the floor. It is a pain to do, but if you take your time, it can turn out great.
^^Oh, and of course, take the tank lid off before painting to get behind it.
Panting behind the toilet. Removing the tank itself is not that hard. Make sure is empty by sopping up the last bit of water with wash cloths or hand towels. Remove the long screws and washers and gently move it
My one tip: To avoid getting paint high up in the bristles of your brush (very hard to clean out and can ruin a good brush), wrap a strip of painting tape about an inch down from where the bristles meet the handle. This will keep paint from creeping up there.
>8.Save your leftover paint, not the giant cans.
A good way to do this is by pouring the excess paint into Coca Cola bottles... they come in different sizes and you're almost guaranteed to have one in your home. An added bonus is that you can see whats inside since the bottles are clear.
Another tip is to tape a small piece of paper to the container and paint it... that way you can see the colour inside
During our first painting job, we completely failed to prep. Consequently, we dubbed the unprepared painter's rally cry:
"run away dust bunnies, run away!"
We've hired pros to do our painting jobs since then... I gotta say though -- I'm a huge fan of Benjamin Moore's sample pots. I wish they were available in more colors, but they were useful when we painted our current place.
er... or rather, had our current place painted!
My Mom swears by TSP and could practically go into business as a painter (she serially renovated houses when I was a kid). She used to buy TSP from the paint store, and after washing the walls, prepped with TSP. Now she often does a shortcut--the floor cleaner Spic and Span apparently has TSP in it; to prep for a paint job she often just washes very thoroughly with Spic and Span. (This is the powder version--don't know about the liquid.) She's a bit evangelical, so I can't admit to having done a comparison, but she swears it goes on more smoothly and covers better; certainly looks good when I use it.
I agree that the plastic bag tray liner didn't sound that easy to use to me, but the disposable liners i found didn't fit well either and they were flimsy. but two layers of aluminum foil worked amazingly well. Even if you don't have foil that's wide enough to cover all, just make sure the seams are pressed down into the plastic tray.
For everyone who doesn't use tape, do you really not use tape ANYWHERE? How exactly do you cut in?

Playoff Coming One Year Too Late For Stanford
Timing is everything. For Stanford, timing of the Bowl Championship Series revolution stinks.
If this were next year, the revolution would be under way. In 2014, there will be a four-team college playoff with two semifinal games and a championship extravaganzapalooza.
And if 2013 were magically transformed into 2014, guess which team could be in the mix for that playoff?
That's right. Your friendly local Cardinal Nerd Nation Of Excellence.
Stanford is No. 4 in the BCS standings, behind Alabama, Florida State and Ohio State. Let's pretend Stanford is anointed one of the top four teams at the conclusion of the post-revolution 2014 season. You could then have Stanford facing off against Alabama in one playoff semifinal and Florida State meeting Ohio State in the other. Winners play for the national title.
All right, snap back to reality.
"We obviously can't control that," said Stanford defensive end Henry Anderson, when presented with the above what-if scenario. "And that's all next year. So I don't think we ever give much thought to it."
Notice he said "much thought." He didn't say "no thought."
How can you be around Stanford football and not be at least a smidgen bemused and/or vexed by the situation? This season's team might be as good or better than any in the recent blitz of Cardinal distinction, which began in 2010. Since then, Stanford has regularly cranked out 11 or 12 victories. This year's group has eight, with USC up next Saturday and four other potential games after that. The Cardinal should easily get to 11 or 12.

Curry Makes A Difference As A Mentor
Stephen Curry asks me the same question nearly every time we chat.
"How's Darin doing?"
Darin is Darin Johnson, a college freshman on the Washington Huskies basketball team this season. Four years ago, he was a 14-year-old freshman at Franklin High School, outside Sacramento. He was as stubborn as he was lanky, giving his JV coach headaches at a supreme rate that matched only his talent.
I know, because I was his head coach.
I witnessed a kid who could already dunk in transition and easily slice through defenses with natural footwork. I marveled at a young teen who was blessed with a complete gift for the game.
I also saw the other side: a poor work ethic, an embattled attitude and a frustration for all things difficult. Johnson, despite his self-confidence, was at risk of peaking as a high school underclassman.
"Back then, I didn't think work ethic was that important because I relied on my talent," said Johnson, now 18. "If I wanted to get to the hoop, I'd just get there because I had more talent than the other kid. But as time went on, and I began seeing other kids were getting better, I realized I was falling behind."

Putting Pryor Under The Microscope
Subject is a 24-year-old starting quarterback for the Oakland Raiders currently in his third year in the National Football League. Subject is known throughout his profession for extraordinary athletic ability. He presents with symptoms common among inexperienced NFL quarterbacks: inaccuracy, unsteadiness and inability to deal with the pressure that comes with the game's larger moments. He shows occasional difficulty identifying defensive schemes, primarily blitzes, and struggles to make precise decisions in the fractions of seconds allotted for them. Subject admits he spent his first two seasons with the Raiders with no earthly idea how to play quarterback in the NFL. Purpose of this study is to observe and report on subject's quest to make the most of his prodigious physical gifts, for possible application by similarly endowed future NFL quarterbacks (Jameis Winston, Teddy Bridgewater, Johnny Manziel, Marcus Mariota, Braxton Miller) and teams that might employ them.
Subject has started eight games in his professional career, and he admits that his athletic ability — he is 6'4″, 233 pounds and once ran a 4.36 40 — lends itself to feelings of grandiosity. Before his professional career, he was consistently able to outperform opponents solely on the basis of talent. In interviews, he fondly remembers the days at Jeannette (Pa.) Senior High School and Ohio State University when he knew nobody on the field could stop him. This feeling carried over to the NFL, and it manifests itself through a desire to make big plays when the situation calls for small ones.
Subject exhibits a rare level of self-awareness for someone his age and in his station in life. His demeanor is expressive and joyful. He is remarkably open about the gaps in his knowledge and remarkably fierce about his determination to close them. His desire is raw and stark, his ambition an open wound.
Perhaps because of his high expectations, subject tends to let the hot blame of defeat wash over him. He reports that his girlfriend "says I act like I've lost every game," even those his team has won. His well-developed sense of personal responsibility is best exemplified by his reaction to the Raiders' loss at Kansas City in Week 6. In that game, subject was sacked nine times and threw three interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. Afterward, he said he — and he alone — lost the game.
In a subsequent interview, subject said: "I turned the ball over and gave them plus-territory three times, and one was a pick six. I lost the game. Period."
Subject's complicated past is vital to the overall assessment. He was the top high school player in the country coming out of Jeannette, and he chose Ohio State after a protracted cross-country recruiting battle that assumed the narrative form of an episode of Judge Judy.
Subject's matriculation at Ohio State ended after three years, when the university barred him from any contact with the athletic program for five years in the aftermath of his role in NCAA violations that included trading memorabilia for tattoos. When he entered the NFL's 2011 supplemental draft — and before the Raiders took him in the third round — the NFL made the unprecedented decision to uphold a suspension by the NCAA that forced him to sit out the first five games of his pro career.

Corona SDK Pro Tip of the Day #34
Transition.to() for simple numbers
transition.to() and other similar functions are designed to work only on display objects. But what if you need to smoothly transition a simple number instead?
A recent tutorial from Corona Labs pushed me to share this method. The idea is to use a simple table instead of a display object and with help of a metatable track a variable being transitioned inside this table.
I'll take the code from that tutorial as a base and modify it to use a metatable and

Timer precision
timer.performWithDelay() function, the delay time is not exact, it's affected by your app's FPS.
If you pass a delay value lower than FPS tick time, the timer listener will be invoked on the next frame.
For 60 FPS, tick time is 16.6ms, for 30 FPS - 33.3ms. If you rely on times lower than these values - it won't work.
I usually use
1 when I need something to be invoked on the next frame. For example in a collision listener.

switch statement.

Corona SDK Pro Tip of the Day #30
User's own background music
Allow users to listen to their own background music (apps that play music even when hidden). That currently works on iOS only.
To do so make sure you have "Music off" button in your app or game. Then paste this code at the very top of your
if audio.supportsSessionProperty then
audio.setSessionProperty(audio.MixMode, audio.AmbientMixMode)
Corona SDK Pro Tip of the Day #29
App specific variables
All Corona applications have names, App Store id, Google Play id and some other app specific variables.
I define them in my
main.lua and use all over my code when needed.
My typical
main.lua has this code somewhere near the top:
local app = require('lib.app')
app.name = '2048 Hex'
app.font = 'GlasnostDemibold'
app.fontbold = native.systemFontBold
app.iOSID = '841721448'
app.androidID = 'com.spiralcodestudio.hexled'
Corona SDK Pro Tip of the Day #28
EnterFrame manager
Often you need to use
enterFrame listeners in your game. Sometimes you need many of them (for example one for every game object in your game) and keeping track of them becomes really difficult. You have to remove them manually or you will get runtime errors.
The code inside
enterFrame is invoked each frame.
To gain more control over these listeners I've created a set of functions which can be called as "enterFrame manager."
Corona SDK Pro Tip of the Day #27
print() statement
Don't overuse
print() statement. If you often print some data, it may significantly slow down your app or game.
It's more noticeable on low-end devices.
If you already have a lot of
print() statements, just replace the function with a blank one before building binaries for the stores.
function _G.print()
-- Do nothing
Corona SDK Pro Tip of the Day #26
Short addEventListener()
You don't have to write second argument for
object:addEventListener(eventName, object) if the listener is the same object.
Despite official documentation listing this argument as required, in fact it's not.
I love to write less code, and it is Corona's moto "write less code." So this feature saves quite a few characters.
-- Works with any display object
local circle = display.newCircle(100, 100, 10)
function circle:touch()
-- Do stuff
-- And any events
Corona SDK Pro Tip of the Day #25
Finalize event
Finalize event is extremely useful for developing. If you are familiar with C++ or other classic OOP languages, you can think about finalize event as a destructor - something that happens when a Corona Display Object is destroyed.
I use it all the time. Mostly for cancelling transitions or timers that a particular object uses.
local circle = display.newCircle(group, 100, 100, 10)
function circle:animate()
self.t = transition.to(self, {time = 1000, alpha = 0})
function circle:finalize()
-- This is called on circle:removeSelf() or display.remove(circle)
if self.t then

A first look at Adobe Acrobat X (screenshots)
Summary: ZDNet UK's Mary Branscombe says the new software will contain some "significant improvements" such as a streamlined interface, guided Actions, and enhanced Portfolios.
10 of 12Image
Adobe says it worked with Microsoft on Acrobat integration, and it's possible the company went a little overboard: having PDF appear so many times in the Backstage menu is a little overwhelming and could be confusing — especially as you still have the built-in PDF creation tools.
The Acrobat X ribbon tab in Office 2010 has far fewer options, and they're the ones you need. You can turn your document into a straightforward PDF (with the option to transfer footnotes, endnotes and comments), or make a PDF that's designed to share. The option to send out a document for comment that people can't edit — so you don't have to manage multiple incompatible revisions — could be very useful.
If you work with SharePoint, extra SharePoint tools appear on the Acrobat X menu. You can check documents back in and save them seamlessly to the SharePoint site, or close them and cancel the checkout cleanly. If you need to fill in metadata you can do that from Acrobat — and administrators can force this as part of the check-in process inside Acrobat (users may not like this, but the business gets the information it needs or you can't save the PDF).
Kick off your day with ZDNet's daily email newsletter. It's the freshest tech news and opinion, served hot. Get it.

why should you make a webcomic?
- it's regular drawing practice
- you get to draw and develop the universe your OCs live in
- you could draw your OCs making out with context
- see number 3
how can you make a webcomic?
- make a new tumblr
- install this theme https://www.tumblr.com/theme/37061
- post comics as you would on any other tumblr they show up on their own webcomic site
what if nobody sees my webcomic :(
- too bad you got to draw your OCs making out and nobody can appreciate your artistic genius obviously the world is not ready for this webcomic genius

Happy birthday to Dogen Zenji
Eihei Dogen, the founder of the Soto Zen school in Japan, was born on this day in 1200; 814 years later, his writings continue to shape the way Buddhism is practiced and understood by many around the world.
To mark the day, consider checking out the Buddhadharma forum "Understanding Dogen" and Kazuaki Tanahashi's article "Moment by Moment Nirvana," the introduction to his complete translation of Dogen's magnum opus, Shobogenzo (reviewed by Norman Fischer here alongside other translations). Scholarship on Dogen has exploded in the last few decades — for hints of where to look for analysis of Dogen's teachings and worldview, take a look at this review of Receiving the Marrow, a collection of teachings on Dogen by Zen women priests, and this review of Icons and Iconoclasm in Japanese Buddhism, which examines the aesthetic sensibilities of both Dogen and Kukai, the founder of the Shingon school.
If you want to dive into Dogen's actual writings, a good place to start is with Shohaku Okumura, abbot of Sanshinji (see an excerpt of his profile from our current issue) and a Dogen scholar. Excellent recordings of his in-depth analysis of, and teachings on, Shobogenzo (from study-based retreats called genzo-e), are available for purchase and download from Sanshinji.

Robert Whitehill Author Interview
Author and screenwriter Robert Blake Whitehill was born just outside Salisbury on Maryland's Eastern Shore peninsula. He grew up sailing the Chesapeake Bay, and one of her most beautiful tributaries, the Chester River.
Prior to writing his novel, Whitehill wrote many highly rated episodes of Discovery/Times Channel's The New Detectives, Daring Capers, and The Bureau, as he served as the Vice President of Independent Film Acquisitions for the groundbreaking Centerseat.com, developing and managing their Independent Film Channel.
Whitehill settled in New Jersey and for a number of years, has worked with the Montclair Ambulance Unit as an emergency medical technician. When not sailing, Whitehill published several articles about his home waters in Chesapeake Bay Magazine.
Book Synopsis: Deadrise (September 2012) is the first in The Blackshaw series. Deadrise follows former SEAL Ben Blackshaw as he discovers a wrecked speedboat carrying cases of gold bullion and the corpse of his long-missing father, at the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay. When a corrupt NSA operative and his mercs plot to steal the cargo, Blackshaw must rally his fellow Smith Islanders to preserve their survival and the safety of the world.
Why should readers should pick up your book?
Deadrise has been described as a thriller, a suspense drama, and a mystery all caged inside the same cover. Deadrise boasts the linchpin genre ingredients of a light-speed pace, a slew of shattered characters both heroic and brutal, and a plot that's kinked with twists, slaloms, chicanes and moguls that keep the reader off balance and unable to guess what will come next. Some readers have charged that I owe them several nights' sleep because they have been helpless to put the book down at a reasonable bedtime. How can I repay them, except with my profound thanks for the compliment?
How did your book come to life?
Deadrise started with a request from my agent, Matthew Bialer, at Sanford J. Greenburger, to depart from my TV and feature writing comfort zone, and to jump with both feet into the thriller novel arena. I hashed a plot out in my mind for a couple of years while I finished other projects. Then, another year later, I turned in one heck of a doorstop of literary fiction. Many rewrites later, the manuscript was hacked, bashed, and whittled down to something that was truly fit for a discerning thriller audience. Matthew's advice was spot-on the whole way.
Matthew Bialer also recommended I team up with Shelton Interactive, a web development and digital PR firm. Rusty Shelton and his fantastic team stood on the mountaintops and shouted like crazy until, thank goodness, readers who were looking for something genuinely fresh came flocking to Deadrise. My site, www.robertblakewhitehill.com is Shelton's design. (If you drop off your email address there, you'll get two free chapters of Deadrise by return email.)
I worked closely with a professional editor who also helped shape the story.
Brian Boucher / Barsoom Design worked up a mesmerizing cover for Deadrise which just blew me away. It includes motifs torn directly out of the heart of the story. I feel very fortunate that I could work with such an amazing artist. Boucher was also recommended by my agent. Matthew Bialer is the unsung hero in the Deadrise backstory.
Then, I went to work with the publisher Telemachus Press, and they advised me daily on making the most handsome paper edition of Deadrise possible, while also formatting the manuscript in every ebook available on the market today. They provided complete concierge service from beginning to end.
Bearing all this in mind, the notion that a writer's life is solitary is true, but only until the first draft is complete. That's when you better find a great team to work with, or your manuscript will never see daylight. Let me put it like this: Deadrise went from being an idea, to being named in the Conversations Book Club Top 100 Books of 2012, thanks to some amazing support from many different quarters. Not bad when you consider that about 1,100 books are published each and every day of the year.
Who is you favorite character in your book and why?
I think the Deadrise protagonist, Ben Blackshaw, is a sterling man who is confronted with awful choices and circumstances. He is true blue, but he also has a soul-wrenching shadow side that he must learn to check before he kills the folks he loves most in all the world. That said, my arch baddy, Maynard Chalk, scares the living daylights out of me. He is charming, vicious, funny, evil, and soulless by turns. (A real Gene Hackman role, that is, if Hackman hadn't quit acting to write his own novels.) Imagine the dead eyes of a great white shark before it bites. That's Chalk. So, while I would not want to come within a thousand miles of Chalk personally, he is by far one of the most fascinating characters ever to claw his way through broken glass and rusted razorblades to emerge from the black oubliette of my creative psyche.
Are the characters in your books based on people you know?
I can say in all candor that no Deadrise character entirely reflects any individual I have ever known. Having said that, there are many qualities of friends, family members, acquaintances, and actual historical figures that have been pieced together into characters much the way Dr. Frankenstein cobbled the creature into life in Shelley's book. Maynard Chalk is the most monstrous of them all. My good guys were imbued with the best qualities of friends and family, including intelligence, strength of character, wit, cleverness, a neat turn of phrase, and resourcefulness. My human jackals are also resourceful, but they reflect a ruthless, explosive temperament that, thank goodness, I have only read about, or met in person while they were safely in police custody.
Why do you think your readers are going to enjoy your book?
Readers will enjoy Deadrise because it defies cliché and formula. On the contrary, the characters' voices are fresh, like the Smith Island setting. The inner and outer conflicts are excruciating, the plot pressures are crippling, and the outcome is, by all reports, absolutely shocking. Readers will still be able to root for, and identify with, Ben Blackshaw all the way through, but some aspects of this kindred feeling might be extremely uncomfortable for readers until they reach journey's end.
Did you learn anything from writing your book that was unexpected? (What was it?)
The most unexpected discovery from my experience of writing Deadrise was the genuine delight of meeting readers in person, or hearing from them directly through emails and reviews from sites like Amazon.com. I make an effort to respond to everyone who takes time to reach out, whether they are sharing their thoughts on my work, or delving into questions they have about their own writing process. In this digital age, the freedom and ease of being closely in touch with the folks I write for is a real gift. I think readers, reviewers, and bloggers are embracing their newfound power to be tastemakers in their own right. I fully support and encourage this, even when I have to absorb constructive criticism about how my work could be better.
How do you start writing a new book? What comes first? The characters? The story?
In the evolution of any of my work, be it for narrative feature scripts or a novel, the What-If of plot always gets me thinking first. There might be a grand theme or observation that sparks my thinking, but usually a string of awful circumstances plays the primary role in getting the creative juices flowing. I haven't really started something based on a Who question unless it was germane to the plot. Characters develop out of actions they take. Actions are the ligaments, tendons and muscles that propel the bones and the heart of a plot forward.
Can you describe your hero in one sentence?
Ben Blackshaw is searching for his roots by trying to piece together his relationship with a long- absent father; a journey that nearly kills him and everyone he loves, and which might ravage the entire world as he knows it.

Public School education was originally conceived by the Prussians. Massachussetts decided it was a good idea. The core concepts of education were: standardization and measurement. This enabled everyone to get a core education at scale — most people got a decent education to participate in society which was fueled by the industrialization of america. In addition the concept of tracking enabled the smarter (or wealthier) kids to get better training so that they can manage lots of people.
I love the two by two matrix and how we can use this as a way to understand different working assumptions for the broader macroeconomic investing strategies (and thus trickles down into what risks one should take as an individual, startup founder, and investor)
this is a great article discussing how the operating structure of the corporation came about. its neat to view it through the lens of history and how this structure ultimately became the most egalitarian and boldest inventions of the 20th century.
1) Slow In Slow Out - This principle describes the inertia of objects. A motion is introduced by acceleration and the final position is predictable by the deceleration of the object. So, »Slow In and Slow Out« is easier to follow and appears to be faster.
2) Follow Through - explains that objects in the real world don't stop suddenly, but the motion concludes in a contrary motion. It can be used to underline the limits in the Interface (e.g. the bounce at the end of a list). It highlights the end of a motion.
3) Anticipation - prepares the user for the upcoming motion by a contrary motion at the beginning to grab the user's attention – A golfer making a swing has to swing the club back first. »Anticipation« highlights the beginning of a motion.
4) Squash and Stretch - This principle conveys how soft objects can transform under speed and collision. It gives a sense of weight and flexibility to an object. A ball stretches at higher speed, and compresses at collision. It highlights the in be-tween and the end of a motion.

3 The team that sold the Jerico apparently used a mid-plate for mounting the engine and transmission, eliminating the transmission crossmember. To reduce weight they had cut off the crossmember mount (left). If you use a crossmember, make sure you find a tailhousing that still has the cast-in mounts (right, although this one has been modified as well).

Google Drive Mobile Apps Gets Spreadsheet Editing

Users can now edit existing cells as well as create new spreadsheets from their Android or iOS device. You can also see the edits made by other users in real time, and the update also lets users add shortcuts for specific Drive documents on your Android home screen.

I spent a great day out with Cas, Andrew and Angie yesterday, in Southbank, Melbourne. Australia. Our adventures lead us to Crown Casino, where this series of shots were taken. A paneled mirror allowed for multiple reflections of people as they passed by.
Many an amused face walked past, wondering why the hell three photographers were getting so excited over a seemingly empty mirror space :)
Canon 50D
18 – 55, 58mm
Collage created and edited in Photoshop CS4

Wow- yes!! Jump for joy!! Great find and what great fun- love your collage here Parmi too- really makes an original impact.
Haha, now that's an awesome response! Thanks so much mate, we were so excited about these shots :)
– Andrew Paranavitana
Brilliant capture, Andrew!! Did you win anything?
Thank you so much Wendi! I don't gamble at all, so bizarre photography opportunities are the only things Crown come in handy for me! :)
– Andrew Paranavitana
sounds like fun… great shots
Thank you very much Di, we had a great day out :)
– Andrew Paranavitana
Awesome work Parmi, the title is spot on mate, very well done sure came out a winner :)
Shannon! You're back mate.. yay! :) Thanks heaps, glad you like this one mate, so happy you're with us again!!
– Andrew Paranavitana
I'm surprised they allowed you into a casino with a camera actually. Did they give you any grief?
One of them followed Angie when she was on her own, making sure she wasn't a terrorist I think haha.. but none bothered us as a group. We are allowed to shoot any areas outside of the gaming rooms. Provided the camera isn't pointing into a gaming room area, if that makes sense. I got yelled at last time when I did just that!
– Andrew Paranavitana
Love it Andrew, masterpiece! and find it a bit retro, i like retro.
Thanks heaps mate! Yeah, I was playing with some filters and it took on this cool 70s fluorescent lighting look :)
– Andrew Paranavitana
A fav, really great editing!
Cheers Dani!! Appreciate that a lot mate :)
– Andrew Paranavitana
Mate that is awesome, could do some cool experimenting with this kind of thing in the future (don't ask me how… I'm not one of them creative types like you… haha :P). Also I'd love to have seen it, can just imagine 3 photogs standing around giggling like little girls at 'nothing'. :D
Thanks heaps mate! This was ace fun to play around with on the day and in post processing too. I think your creativity takes on a whole different area of photography!! Haha, it would have looked pretty damn funny, we were so focused :)
– Andrew Paranavitana
So interesting & exciting & impressive …..
That is so great to hear Sibel, thank you so much :)
– Andrew Paranavitana
Wow Andrew this is amazing. Great find and great work.
Thanks very much Bob! We were rapt with this find :)

Sherlock season 3 extras 1
… oh my.
Just posted by Louise Brealey on twitter.
Blowing kisses, Benedict?
Benedict and Martin on the set of Sherlock.
Scrutinising the chemistry, he suggests, is effing the ineffable. Dare he suggest competence might come into it? "Without being too falsely modest, we're both quite good. We know what we're doing." x
when they hold hands i lose the ability to can
Mark Painter says they're working on the next set. What is it??
john's new flat?
For some reason I want to say a boat?
if it is john's new flat i will peel off my own face
as much as it will hurt to see John in a new flat, I almost want to because of the subtext that comes with the canon explanation of how he returns to 221B:
For all who haven't read the Empty House, John doesn't immediately return after Sherlock comes back, even though he's forgiven him, because he still has his new flat/practice. Without John's knowledge, Sherlock pays off a distant cousin of his to buy the flat off John for much more than its value, basically ensuring that he'll come back.
He wanted John to come live with him that badly.
Mark: "Where's the Gag Reel?"
Benedict: "Where is the Gag Reel?"
Steven: "We've gotta get those two great falls onto this DVD somehow."

Verizon Joins Linux Mobile Foundation
Soulskill posted more than 6 years ago | from the progress-is-progress dept.100
An anonymous reader brings news that Verizon Wireless has announced plans to use a Linux-based software platform for phones on its network. Verizon is the first US mobile carrier to join the Linux Mobile Foundation, the goal of which is to "collaboratively develop a comprehensive Linux-based mobile software stack that can be modified easily and used at no cost on a wide range of hardware devices." Many had expected Verizon to go with Android, but according to the Register, Verizon feels Android "isn't as open as it would prefer." Continuing: "Yes, Google bills Android as open. And, yes, it's backed by the Open Handset Alliance, another industry consortium calling for the open development of mobile apps. But [Verizon spokesman Jeffrey] Nelson argues that at this point, Google is calling the shots. 'Google said "Here's the plan. Sign on the dotted line if you support." It may end up being collaborative. It may end up being collegial. But it need not be.' He actually has a point. But maybe Verizon just wants more control over the situation. It should be noted that the company made sure it has a place on the LiMo board. In any event, Verizon says that customers will be free to attach any device and any application to its network by the end of the year - provided those devices and applications met certain minimum specifications. So, in theory, you'll have free rein to attach an Android phone even if you don't buy it from Verizon."

Iran mother spares life of son's killer in dramatic turn of events
An Iranian mother spared the life of her son's convicted murderer with an emotional slap in the face as he awaited execution with the noose around his neck, a newspaper reported Thursday. The dramatic climax followed a rare public campaign to save the life of Balal, who at 19 killed another young man, Abdollah Hosseinzadeh, in a street fight with a knife back in 2007. (AFP)

- Kudos to Merriam-Webster for being one of the only online dictionaries to indicate the distinction between blonde and blond.
- Blond comes from French, in which it has masculine and feminine forms.
- Will you be ridiculed if you don't use blonde and blond in their gender-specific forms? Probably not. Is it cool to know the difference? Definitely.

In this world,
so many times I feel what people say
is a joke
too much sarcasm
and a lack of sincerity.
If all the words
that escape our lips
mean nothing
How can we feel?
How can we express?
Eventually, we will become
washed out
faded and bleached.
Our words are tangible
they cling to us
when nothing else does,
but if we can't pull them out
late at night
and caress them fondly
remembering the sorrow, joy, and pure life
they wrought
we are brushed away,
like the leaves trying to clasp the skirts of the maple
shivering from autumn's frost.

Hasbro Inc. (HAS) has inked an agreement with DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. (DWA) to create a line of toys and games for two of the computer-animation studio's coming films, a move to piggyback on even more of Hollywood's movies.
Hasbro plans to develop franchise-inspired product lines for B.O.O.: Bureau of Otherworldly Operations and Trolls, planning the debut of those toys and games around the planned theatrical releases for those brands in 2015 and 2016, respectively.
The toy maker, recently extended a merchandising-rights agreement for Marvel characters and expanded on a pact that will allow it to make toys for the new Star Wars sequel films, is known for making a number of toys based on hit blockbuster films.
While the release of blockbuster films can jolt toy and game sales, as toy makers benefit from marketing from the film studios, sales gains can be choppy depending on which films are hits in any given year.
For example, Hasbro's boys segment posted a 35% sales drop in the most recent quarter, as "The Avengers" movie released in 2012 boosted sales of Marvel gear, but also set up a difficult comparison for 2013.
Some details for the B.O.O. film have already been disclosed, as Seth Rogen and Melissa McCarthy are set to star in the lead roles for that film. DreamWorks is also looking to reinvigorate interest in Troll dolls, a phenomenon that last saw popularity in the 1990s.
DreamWorks earlier Wednesday reported second-quarter profit jumped 74%, as revenue and margins increased, driven by box-office returns of the family film "The Croods."

For the Wife
Vincent from Richmond, VA– Verified Buyer
Wife loves it, so I guess I do too :). Does its job & takes up very little space
Reserving judgment...
M from Lexington, MA– Verified Buyer
Product arrived quickly and in good condition. Quality of construction is medium -- reasonably good at this price point. The racks rattle a bit and the door handle feels a bit flimsy. Only assembly required was screwing the handle on the door. Seems to maintain temperature within about 5 degrees F of target even with a moderate degree of opening and closing, which is fine. Haven't noticed much noise (although we have it in back hall, outside kitchen, so noise isn't as noticeable) and seems to run without vibration.
Perfect wine cooler
Carolyn from Tawas City, MI– Verified Buyer
Just the perfect wine cooler for our needs.Looks and works great. Only problem we had was when we were attaching the handle, we had to enlarge the holes for the screws to fit. Simple fix.
Quality product
Leon Gary from San Francisco, Ca– Verified Buyer
This product looked better online but from what Ive heard this is a great company for a wine cooler. Easy to assemble came in one part. I still have to see where I will be putting it because I live In a small apartment but doesnt seem like it will take up too much space. Great price as well!
Wine Refer
Cliffy from Lodi, CA– Verified Buyer
Excellent for the small amount of wine to have on hand without going to the cellar each time you want a bottle of wine.

text: Knowing that for a moment in my life I was on the same stage as Mike Song brings tears to my eyes.. the fact that I might have to quit dance is killing me everyday. I hate how today I am struggling to continue to be a member of a crew. I miss the days where dance made me the happiest person in the world. I have stopped dancing to music and have started to dance with choreo.. I miss the feeling of being part of a "dance family" now I just feel like I'm in a constant competition with everyone around me.. dance shouldn't make me depressed but it does because I know that my dance career is ending very soon.

As someone who lives near DC, and used to work there, this makes
no sense what-so-ever. There are a number of areas in DC (including the
ones they mentioned) where there are many empty buildings / lots that
could be used for exchange / colo space.
Knowing a little about DC real estate, I suspect that this is being done
to facilitate
or hinder someone's real estate plans. There is many 100's of thousands
of square
feet of exchange / colo space being built-out in Reston/Tysons/Ashburn
area near us.
