Peter Steinmeyer's Analysis Showcased as a Practical Law Legal UpdateThomson Reuters Practical Law October 10, 2016
Peter A. Steinmeyer, a Member of the Firm in the Employment, Labor & Workforce Management practice, in the firm's Chicago office, authored an article that was showcased as a Thomson Reuters Practical Law legal update, titled "Epstein Becker: Illinois Appellate Court Holds Employer's Waiver of Non-Compete Period to Avoid $1 Million Payment Was Ineffective."
Following is an excerpt:
This Law Firm Publication by Epstein Becker & Green, P.C. discusses the recent Illinois Court of Appeals decision, Reed v. Getco, LLC. There, the court ordered the employer to pay a departing employee $1 million for a previously negotiated six-month non-competition period (paid "garden leave") despite the employer's attempt to evade the payment by waiving the non-competition period.
The article was originally published on Epstein Becker Green's Trade Secrets and Noncompete Blog.

Novi Sad, Serbia –Plus-Que-Ma-Vie by Italian designer Andrea Lazzari shows his skill in craftsmanship and creativity with a delightfully modern display of Spring/Summer 2015 fixed modernity. The designer uses navy blue in the first portion of the collection for his trousers and short pants, which can be converted through zippers. He puts them with nice summer sky prints that are found not only in the shirts, and socks, but also in the accents of his other elements such as the collars in his blazers.
The look is of Capri style pants in both denim and woven fabrics. He has short-cropped the jackets in many instances, however, leaves room for a short, tailed coated with aqua highlights.
Lazzari, who has been an invited guest designer this season in Vancouver and in Lisbon, is one of the brightest examples of an independent designer from Italy, making his way through the international ranks. It is rather easy to understand that this wonderful collection possesses all the tailoring for which one has come to respect and expect from Italian menswear.

One Hour, It's not a life decision problem, but a time issue.
Think hard, but if you are like me you would turn in circles. I don't remember how many times I would say to myself, if I only had time to do this and that. Then when the family was gone and the time came, what did I do. Turned circles of excitement and not get anything done.
Now What Will You Do if Time Froze? Another Decision!
Decisions, decisions…
Every day we are faced with decisions…
Do we stay in bed… or Get out of bed…
A lesson I learned a long time ago is that, many of us aren't good at making decisions.
Well.. decisions that will help bring us the life we want to live.
… And after talking with hundreds of thousands of people from around the world, it dawned on me, that:
The reason many of us aren't good at making decisions is because we were never taught how to make good decisions…
We were always taught how to follow the system.
However, if the saying "decisions shape destiny" is true…
(Which it is)
And we want to know how to create our own destiny…
(Which we do)
Why is it that many of us have never taught ourselves how to make good decisions?
No idea.
What I do know is…
Today that changes. Time is yours.
I first exposed this little exercise during a private mastermind session through my team.
The simple concept that blew all of our minds.
Do you want me to share it with you? It works just as well now as it did many years ago.
You will need to fetch a pen and notepad.
Do it now.
Draw a line down the middle.
On the top of your notepad write down just one of your goals…
Whether it's to…
Make more money…
Pick one of your goals and write it down on top.
In the left hand column write "further".
In the right hand column write "closer".
Let's say you choose "make more money"
As you begin to carry on throughout your day and you want to know whether you are making a good or bad decision, pull out your paper and ask…
"Is watching T.V. going bring me closer to my goal of making more money, or further away?"
The correct answer is: Further
Let's use another example…
"Is reading this book called 3 ways to double my income in 90 days or less going to bring me closer to my goal, or further away?"
The correct answer is: ___________.
Correct. Closer.
You see – in your life one of two things are always happening.
You are either moving further away from your goals.
You are moving closer to your goals.
The simplest way to determine whether the actions you are taking today are bringing you closer or further is by following this exercise I've shared with you.
Rinse and repeat this for your top 3 goals and carry the piece of paper around with you for a week.
Every time you find yourself doing something that is bringing you further away from your goals – write it down in the "further" column…
Every time you find yourself doing something that is bringing you closer to your goals – write it down in the "closer" column…
As time progresses, you will begin to become aware of the decisions that will help shape your destiny for the better.
Now, if time froze how much farther would you be and what would you get done.?
Why this is something you'll want to take very seriously.
There is no question as to whether or not this works.
- Results have proven that it works for everyone, regardless of experience or skills
- The only variable is you deciding to take action
- As automated as possible – pick your traffic and go
- If you don't succeed here, that just means you're not following a couple simple instructions, and you won't succeed anywhere else. This is your easiest, best shot at success. (but I have faith you'll exceed your expectations here.)
How bad do you want success?
A change in your results requires a change in your behavior
- Change = a different outcome than you are currently getting
- No change = same outcome as current
- Change can be uncomfortable at first, but is worth it and is a sign that your end result will be different – more money, more freedom, etc
No such thing as failure – just quitting
- If you don't quit you WILL find success
- "failing" is simply quitting and giving up before achieving your goal
- Quitting is a cesspool of failure
- Perseverance and tenacity breeds success
This system works for you exactly how it does for me
- Creates a level playing field
- Doesn't matter who uses this system.
"A goal should scare you a little and excite you a lot" Dr. Joe Vitale
The purpose of a system is to do the hard work once (creating the system), then use the system to easily achieve your desired result time and time again.
Every success story starts from nothing more than a dream and a desire to fulfill that dream
When you make a DECISION & follow it up with ACTION, that is when SUCCESS HAPPENS
To your success

Angel: After the Fall, Vol. 1 (original 2008; edition 2009)
by Joss Whedon, Brian Lynch, Franco Urru, Alex Garner
Work details
Angel: After the Fall, Vol. 1 by Joss Whedon (2008)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Being a huge fan of Angel, this comic opens up in what appears to be the middle of a battle which leaves the reader confused as it is said to pick up where the series left off. The comic keeps this confusing tone through it's pages by switching between several locations and some characters. The character aspect leaves the reader not knowing whom some are or what is going on. All in all, After the Fall presents the reader with confusion, nostalgia, and wanting more.
The artwork's not very good; just telling what's going on is difficult at times. And the dialog, while perfectly serviceable, never has the little moments of cleverness that I expect from the Buffyverse. But the story, "plotted" by Whedon, had me pretty excited throughout the book. I found the TV show to be more frustrating than anything, but apparently I ended up caring about these characters anyway. (Well, most of them - Angel himself is so damn boring.) Just finding out what's happened to them is enough to make this book worthwhile. And they really do not hold back when it comes to big things happening - no time for sulking and moping for Angel, here.
*Book source ~ Library
Taking place a few months or so (not real clear on the timeline) after the big battle in the alley, which is the result of Angel & Co. wiping out the Circle of the Black Thorn, this story catches me up on what happened and where everyone is now. Soon into the battle Wolfram & Hart sends Los Angeles to hell and it's a right mess. The aftermath is a battle all in itself as Angel and Co. try to save the citizens of LA, but they're each working basically on their own. No united front. Yet.
First off I have to mention how visually appealing this graphic novel is. The characters look like who they should and the colors just pop. Beautiful! Now, the story…it's pretty good. I enjoyed seeing what everyone is up to, especially Spike because he's my favorite. Sorry, Angel. You're an ok dude, but Spike…mmmmmm. Hate Gunn. Seriously. I never truly liked him in the series and while I didn't hate him or wish him dead or anything, now I want him to die. Not die as in vampire dead. I mean, die for good. And I'm sorry for the Fred fans out there, but I love Illyria so much better. Fred was an ok character on the show. Way underdeveloped in my opinion, but she could also be too annoying. Illyria is so very interesting. Lorne is also a character I wish would have had more airtime, but at least he's in the graphic novel. There are some questions left unanswered by the end (especially about Angel) and the ending itself?! Yikes! Cliffhanger alert! Thankfully I have the next few books, so I'm not hanging for long.
Save your money, Get this from the library.Graphic novel. If you were Angel fame this and volume 2 are must reads. Otherwise its a confusing storyline with average graphics. Get this from the library
The Good: A continuation of Angel was desperately needed and I'm glad IDW was there to give fans that. A beloved series ending on a huge cliffhanger needs closure of some sort.
The Bad: I read Buffy, Season 8, before starting Angel: After the Fall and that ended up being a huge strike against this Angel series. Dark Horse did such an unbelievable job continuing Buffy that I expected the same type of continuity and follow though here. Unfortunately, when the TV series ended on such an open possibility, fans like myself wanted to know what happened to our favorite characters immediately. And this didn't happen. What we are told is in bits and pieces, like a mystery to what happened as opposed to the continuation of where we left off. The fates of some of the characters are still murky at best and the story seems to be going no where fast.

Boys Don't Cry
"I like to go for the reality, I like to go for what's underneath and I don't even judge it. But that isn't what all Hollywood movies are. That's an example where my success in 'Boys (Don't Cry)' brought me this great Hollywood career and all these offers that I really appreciate, but I really have a very particular thing that I like doing. I love real emotion. I love real drama." Kimberly Peirce
First gaining notice with her award winning experimental short "The Last Good Breath" (1994), director and writer Kimberly Peirce rocketed to stardom with her debut feature film, "Boys Don't Cry" (1999), based on the real life story of Brandon Teena. Starring Hilary Swank, the independent picture won the hearts of audiences and critics alike and brought the newcomer extensive critical acclaim. Awards Peirce picked up for "Boys Don't Cry" included a Boston Society of Film Critics Award, a National Board of Review Award, two Young Hollywood Awards, two London Film Festival Awards, two Stockholm Film Festival Awards, and two Las Vegas Film Critics Society Awards. She also received nominations at the Independent Spirits Awards, the Satellite Awards, the Robert Festival, the Chlotrudis Awards, the European Film Awards, and the Gijón International Film Festival. Her second film, "Stop-Loss" (2008), was well-received by critics but a box office bomb. In between the movies, Peirce directed an episode of Showtime's "The L Word" (2006).
"You talk to any director, it's tough. It's tough to make movies that you love." Kimberly Peirce
Peirce currently lives with her female partner Evren Savci.
Childhood and Family:
Kimberly Peirce was born on September 8, 1967, in Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania. Her family left Harrisburg when she was four years old
and moved to New York and Puerto Rico before settling in Miami,
Florida. As a child, Kimberly founded a group she called the "Tomboy
Club." She has a younger brother named Brett.
In Miami, Kimberly attended Miami Sunset High School with future comedian Mark Ginzo. After graduating, she moved to Chicago to enroll at the University of Chicago. When she ran out of tuition money, she took a two year break and stayed in Japan, where she worked as an English teacher and photographer. Upon returning to America, she went back to school and finally graduated with a dual B.A. degree in English and Japanese literature. She returned to New York City in 1990 to pursue an M.F.A. in film at Columbia University. She also trained at the Sundance Institute's Writing and Directing Lab programs.
Stop Loss
A former teacher and photographer, Kimberly Peirce's filmmaking debut was "The Last Good Breath," an experimental 16-minute short she wrote and directed. The film was screened at the Leopard of Tomorrow Program at the 1994 Locarno International Film Festival and nabbed first place at the Suffolk Film Festival, second place at the Canada International Film Festival, and a Golden Award in the Experimental Division at the Chicago International Film Festival.
In early 1994, Peirce heard about Brandon Teena's story while she was working on her thesis. She subsequently changed the topic of her thesis and headed to Falls City, Nebraska, where the events occurred (murder of Brandon Teena who lived her life as a man), and attended the trial of the two men suspected of Teena's murder (real name of the victim was Teena Brandon). The short film, "Take It Like a Man" (1995, with Anna Grace playing Brandon Teena and Natalie Zea as her girlfriend), was nominated for the Princess Grace Award by The Columbia faculty and won an Astrea Production Grant.
Lured by the success of her short film, Peirce decided to develop it into a full length feature movie. In 1996, she returned to Nebraska to do more research and worked tirelessly with writing partner Andy Bienen on the screenplay. The following year, she received an invitation from The Sundance Institute to work on the screenplay at the Sundance Filmmakers, Writers and Producers Lab.
Peirce, who wanted to hire a female actor to portray Brandon, searched for three years before choosing then-unknown Hillary Swank. During this time, she also worked on other projects and served as an assistant director on Cheryl Dunye's short "Greetings From Africa" and edited Shawn Atkins' experimental 16mm animated film, "Anastasia and the Queen of Hearts" (both 1996).
With Peirce sitting in the director's chair and Swank taking the lead of Brandon Teena, "Boys Don't Cry" earned critical success immediately after its release in October 1999 and was considered a box office hit, despite having a relatively low budget (approximately $2 million) and being independently financed. The drama collected numerous awards and awards nominations, including Best Actress at the Oscars and Golden Globes for Swank and nominations for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Chloë Sevigny for her performance as girlfriend Lana Tisdel. Peirce won a Boston Society of Film Critics for Best New Filmmaker, a National Board of Review for Outstanding Directorial Debut, two Young Hollywoods for Best Director and Best Screenwriter, the FIPRESCI Prize and Satyajit Ray Award at the 1999 London Film Festival, the FIPRESCI Prize and the Best Screenplay honor at the 1999 Stockholm Film Festival, an Audience Choice Award at the 1999 St. Louis International Film Festival, a Rosebud for Best Film at the 1999 Verzaubert - International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, a Festival Diploma for Best Full-Length Fiction Film at the 2000 Molodist International Film Festival and many more. She also received Independent Spirit nominations for Best First Feature - Over $500,000 and Best First Screenplay, a Golden Satellite nomination for Best Director, a Robert nomination for Best American Film, a European Film nomination for Screen International Award, and other impressive nominations.
After the much-talked about "Boys Don't Cry," Peirce was considered for a sting of high profile projects, including Arthur Golden's "Memoirs of a Geisha." At the beginning of 2006, she directed an episode of the popular Showtime drama "The L Word" called "Lifeline" in 2006.
Following such canceled projects as "Silent Star" (as co-writer), "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" (as director), and others, Peirce revisited the director's chair when she directed Ryan Phillippe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Rob Brown and Channing Tatum in "Stop Loss" (2008), which she also wrote with Mark Richard. The dramatic film, about an American soldier, earned primarily positive reviews from critics. However, it was a box office failure. With an estimated budget of $25 million, "Stop Loss" only grossed about $11 million.
Apart from being a director and screenwriter, Peirce has written articles about film for Kansai Time Out, Grey City Journal, and Chicago's Screen Magazine. She has also been featured in the documentaries "Women in Film" (2001), "This Film Is Not Yet Rated" (2006) and "Hollywood Brats" (2008).

Having a function called that locks during the call and unlocks when it returns would be fine, but wouldn't work with the async API at all. If the lock was associated with the Entry, then the GC exposure would be reduced, but not eliminated. You would lose the lock at the same time you lost the Entry itself, so the thread that grabbed the lock wouldn't see GC behavior (barring multiple Entries for the same file). However, any other threads waiting on that lock would still see the GC if they're waiting on the lock. I suppose the lock could be retained until you return to the event loop without any reads or writes in progress on the FileWriter, but that's a little magic and easy to get wrong (eg. a setTimeout in the async call chain would cause you to lose the lock).

Today I stumbled upon some Nuxe products by accident. I rarely go for that isle in department store, because I'm not so familiar with it and for some reason never got quite into it. I bought an eye cream, night cream and micellar cleansing water. I did smell and try these creams on my hand and I must say they smell heavenly goood! And they we're on sale, so that's the main reason why I decided to get them. >
- No parabens
- Non-comedogenic
-88% natural ingredients
It claims to hydrate and refresh your skin and in the morning you will see the differences (skin is smoother and plumper). I googled some reviews and there was some mixed feelings about this product. Some people said that it was bad for their skin and others said that it actually did what it claims to do. I don't have a sensitive skin, so I think that this will work on my skin, hopefully.
- Contains 93% natural ingredients
-No parabens
It had pretty much same kind of reviews as the night cream. To be honest, I never seen that an actual eye cream can noticeably somehow diminish dark circles and puffiness. But it is of course very important to keep those bags moisturized!
-Contains 95% natural ingredients
-No parabens
I love micellar water, my holy grail is at the moment Garnier one. But I wanted to try this one too, mainly because it smelled so good. I do try to avoid toners/micellar water which contains alcohol and this one does. So we will see, how this one behaves on my skin.
What kind of experience you have one Nuxe products? Let me know, I'm keen to know!

Every bride wants to have gorgeous centerpieces (think of the photos!) but of all the line items on the wedding budget, flowers can often feel like one of the more difficult things to justify splurging on. Luckily, you don't have to break the bank to get centerpieces that are gorgeous and worthy of your Instagram hashtag. Below, wedding planner and designer Melina Schwabinger of DM Events shares three easy-yet-smart ways you can cut your centerpiece costs without looking like you skimped.
1. Keep your vases simple and classic.
"With so many wedding blogs, Pinterest, and photo sharing sites, couples today have an endless supply of inspiration. Unfortunately, this can often translate into expensive ideas they may not have otherwise encountered," says Schwabinger. "Instead of requesting intricate mercury glass vases such as pedestal vases, bowls, and other shapes, which can be quite costly, go for cylinder mercury or glass vases, which have a timeless look and are often more affordable. "

2. Use football mums to complement your focal flowers.
"Football mums are an under-appreciated flower," says Schwabinger. "Many people might be turned off when they hear 'mum,' since they believe it equates to a 'cheap' looking flower. However when we show clients photos of soft, pillowy football mums, they always love them! These flowers pair well with peonies, garden roses, and other lush expensive blooms. Swapping out a few pricey flowers for football mums can save money, but most importantly, it is also creates a beautiful look."
3. Choose more organic shapes and styles for your arrangements.
"Many couples love the look of romantic, airy arrangements with somewhat of a wild construction," Schwabinger notes. "Luckily, that can also translate to a more budget friendly centerpiece as well since these arrangements are not so densely packed with blooms." Bonus: they also make for a more interesting look that can fit a variety of wedding aesthetics.


text: The German Government has proposed a tax relief package for EV and hybrid use as company cars. Non-Business use af a company car is currently taxed based on the MSRP of the car. This is considered unfair for EV granted they are more expensive in purchase price (because it includes the battery). The proposal gives EV users a credit of 500 Euros per kWh of battery capacity, up to a max of 20 kWh. This means, the maximum consideration will be 10.000 Euros taken off the model S purchase price, even for the smallest battery option (40 kWh). In many cases this will result in a tax deduction of 100 Euros off the monthly income, zero to 45 Euros off the tax bill. I wish they would be sensible and take the total cost of the battery into consideration.

'Not Who We Are': At Mosque, Obama Laments 'Inexcusable' Anti-Muslim Rhetoric
'It's Bizarre': Jasser Slams Obama for Choosing to Visit Baltimore Mosque
Trump Says Cruz 'Stole Iowa,' Calls for Caucus Results to Be 'Nullified'
President Obama delivered remarks this afternoon at a Baltimore mosque in the first visit to a U.S. mosque of his presidency.
The president lamented the fact that he's received letters recently from Muslim-American teens who are concerned about their safety and from Muslim-American adults fearful about their children being mistreated at school.
"I've had people write to me and say: I feel like I'm a second-class citizen," he noted.
Obama said that a 13-year-old girl from Ohio wrote that she's "scared," while another from Texas described herself as a "confused 14-year-old trying to find her place in the world."
"That's not who we are," he said, adding that we are "one American family" and no part of the family should be made to feel "second class."
Obama said some parents told him about their children asking if they would have to leave the country or be "rounded up."
"These are children just like mine," he said, adding that Sikhs and others who are perceived to be Muslims have also been targeted recently following "inexcusable political rhetoric."
He said that many people only hear about Islam on the "news after an act of terrorism" or in "distorted media portrayals in TV or film."
Obama said that after the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, people have wrongly "conflated the horrific acts of terrorism with the beliefs of an entire faith."

Required reading: How open source makes you better
In this blog post (Why Journalism Tools Gather Dust), Dan Schultz of The Boston Globe describes what amounts to one of the big reasons why news websites are not as successful as they could be.
If you borrow code then you are more likely to be familiar with what the rest of the world is doing. If you share code then you are going to build your systems with an emphasis on reuse and extensibility (i.e. correctly). If you regularly borrow AND share code then you are building a community around whatever it is you do.
What I'm trying to say is that if newspapers can buy into the mantra of openness — even just internal openness — they can kill about thirty birds with one stone.
But they usually don't.
Legacy media companies have a lot of bad habits. Like some close-minded people, these companies have dragged their ancient prejudices and beliefs with them into their old age.
What Schultz describes reminded me of a newsroom that jealously guards a "scoop" that's not really a scoop — some news they uncovered that — seriously, guys — either no one really cares about except other journalists, or everyone will find out about anyway within an hour, so who the heck cares if you break it first? (I'm not saying there are no real scoops; I'm just saying that journalists sometimes get all proprietary and hush-hush about something that truly is not groundbreaking or even secret.)
As Schultz points out, some media organizations such as The New York Times do follow open-source principles — but there's more to it than that:
[W]ithout a supportive institutional strategy, open source and reusable code are just nice-to-haves.
A deadline mentality (also dragged along from the past) encourages short-term thinking. Almost everything in most newsrooms is about today and right now; very little is about planning and building for the future.
Recently a friend of mine — formerly a professional programmer and systems analyst — lectured me about my plan to teach journalism student to code. Teach them to respect commenting and documentation, she said. Teach them to write code that others can come along later and read, because by doing so, they will become better programmers, and their future code will be better because of the effort.
Why is this required reading? These ideas are important for discussion, both in the classroom and in the newsroom.

Director: David O. Russel
Producers by: Bruce Cohen
Donna Gigliotti
Executive Producers: Jonathan Godon
George Parra
Starring: Bradley Cooper
Jennifer Lawrence
Robert DeNiro
Jackie Weaver
According to IMDB, this movie is about Pat (Cooper), a man diagnosed with bipolar disorder, who after leaving a mental institution moves back in with his parents (De Niro and Weaver). The story is about his development and how he tries to win back his wife, while at the same time getting help from Tiffany (Lawrence), an interesting, yet mysterious girl, with problems of her own. It is nominated for 8 Oscars, 4 Golden Globes (one was won), 3 BAFTAs, 4 SAG awards and 5 Independent Spirit Awards and is an adapted screen play of a book of the same name.
I watched this movie this past week and I have to say it is one of the best I've seen lately for many reasons. This is the first time that I watch a movie starring Bradley Cooper and don't think of him as just a pretty face. Not that I think he is gorgeous or anything, but his acting has always been lacking something for me. Not in this movie though! I thought he was believable, did not over do it, and I found myself being empathetic.
Jackie Weaver was absolutely stunning in this. She played Pat's mother. I just felt like hugging her during all her scenes. The facial expressions, the accent, the body language, everything was pinpoint and perfect.
Robert De Niro is an actor I have some kind of love/hate relationship with, especially because of his latest role. However, I did appreciate his character in this movie. The fact that he has OCD created somekind of background story for Pat's bipolar disorder. At least, that's the way I saw it. It is safe to say that it was beautifully portrayed.
Now, Jennifer Lawrence. The reason I left her for last is simply because she completely blew my mind. In fact, she was so mind blowing as Tiffany that she rendered me speechless. I don't even know what to say about her because her portrayal of the character was more than just perfect. It was honnest, sincere, real, intense, mindboggling, and everything in between. She most definitely deserve the Golden Globe she got for this role and the multitude of pending nominations she has.
This is one of those movies than made me laugh through my tears. Of course that would be because I cry at almost everything, but still. It is a beautiful movie that is realistic, except maybe for the fairytale like ending but I'm not gonna let than rain on my parade. The dance scene can make me overlook that. I'm not gonna say any more than this. I'll let you discover it for yourselves if you still haven't. If you have, feel free to comment and let me know what you think!

My father-in-law and I had the unique pleasure to spend some time with Benjamin Petrocchi, the creator and owner of Aruhiba Cigars – the one and only cigar maker on the island of Aruba. A true cigar lover, Benjamin spoke passionately about overcoming the odds to fulfill his dream of becoming a cigar maker in his native homeland. Benjamin, with the help of his brother and sister, have been painstakingly crafting the very best cigars that they can for over ten years now, and after one puff, I was convinced of their craftsmanship.
Although he has accomplished a lot and has much to be proud of, Benjamin is a very down-to-earth, pleasant individual to be around. Coming from a family of bean farmers, Benjamin learned how to work the Aruban soil to his benefit. Now the land that once produced beans is used to grow lush tobacco plants.
Following a windy, dirt path that leads past the homes of Benjamin's family members, you come to a dead end where Benjamin resides. Next to his home, is mobile home sized building where his cigars are made and sold. Behind that building, the wrappers for his cigars are grown. On a separate piece of land, he grows his filler.
Interestingly, the tobacco used for the wrappers is grown literally several feet from Benjamin's backyard in an area no bigger than three large swimming pools. Surrounded by chicken fence, sheet metal, and plastic tarp, Benjamin makes sure that the tobacco is protected from the animals and the elements. Fertilizer is delivered when needed as well as government collected rainfall. Benjamin has to choose the precise time to plant since the island sees little rainfall for much of the year. Like a well educated farmer, Benjamin is prepared for the worst with a sprinkler system in place.
With a smile and a twinkle in his eyes, Benjamin explained that when it comes time to plant the seeds he turns the event into a family party. The kids are given the seeds and turned loose planting them throughout the fields. After the planting is done, a celebration takes place at the beach.
Each tobacco plant is harvested from at least three times and Benjamin makes sure to cut the flowers from the tops of plants to ensure that the nutrients reach the leaves to strengthen them. Large trailers surround Benjamin's property filled with harvested leaves going through the fermentation process. After the fermentation process is complete, which takes about a year, the leaves are inspected and selected for use.
Due to changes in weather, the flavor of tobacco can alter. Benjamin has entrusted his brother with the blending process to ensure that it is consistent from year-to-year. As I listened to Benjamin speak lovingly of his family, it was a no-brainier that he selected his brother to serve such an important role.
At times, it was difficult understanding Benjamin's broken English, but after four or five times of asking what, my father-in-law finally figured out that Benjamin was saying doves. Benjamin showed us a stack of dried stems (for lack of a better word) that were separated from the tobacco leaves and explained that he provides them to an individual on the island that raises doves. According to Benjamin, there is no better material for doves to make nests out of. I respect that – not much of what is produced is wasted.
In the mobile home sized building that sits in front of the wrapper field, I watched Benjamin's brother and sister, and two other ladies, skillfully craft the cigars. Benjamin likes his product to remain fresh, and therefore, he does not over produce. When asked how many cigars get produced a day, he shrugged and said it depends. I got the impression that he prefers quality over quantity.
My father-in-law selected a strong cigar and I selected a medium one to smoke. Immediately, I was impressed by the construction of the cigar. It didn't feel spongy and in fact it felt pretty solid. The wrapper was very smooth to the touch and a nice golden brown color – I'd liken it to a Connecticut sun-grown wrapper. My father-in-laws' cigar was a nice dark chocolate colored wrapper that reminded me of a Maduro. Interestingly, the wrapper and cap of the cigar are kept tight with…cactus glue. What else you going to use on a somewhat desert island?
We were both very pleased with our selection. My father-in-law likes a nice, strong tobacco-y flavor and that's exactly what he got. My medium cigar was smooth and had the right amount of strength and flavor of a medium cigar. We both commented on how easy and smooth of a draw with had. Both of our cigars burned with a nice fine line that didn't require a re-light throughout our forty minute or so smoke.
I purchased a mild, medium, and strong cigar and will be reviewing their differences more closely in the days to come. I did not purchase the gargantuan cigar that was probably a foot and a half long at about a 52 ring size. That thing was massive. My father-in-law joked that you'd start smoking it on Monday and wouldn't finish it till Friday.
The only thing Benjamin's company doesn't make are the tubes, boxes, and wrappers. I'm still kicking myself that I didn't get one in a tube. His tubes are elegantly designed to remind you of the Aruban flag. A very nice look indeed.
Since Aruba is close to Cuba, I asked Benjamin if his tobacco seeds are from there. Benjamin told me that they probably are. "Probably." I asked. Benjamin informed me that he found tobacco plants growing throughout the island and those are the plants that he harvested from initially. Benjamin believed that the tobacco plants he found were the result of Cuban seeds getting stuck to Arubans who worked in the Cuban tobacco fields, and when the workers returned home, the seeds found their way into the Aruban soil.
In a small cigar box, Benjamin maintains several photos of his humble beginnings. He showed me the first plant he grew, how he dried the tobacco on clothes lines, the tables and tools he built to craft his product, and other memories. Benjamin stated that he learned the craft of cigar making by visiting the plants in Cuba and working as a cigar seller.
Benjamin's business offers many services other than making and selling cigars. Have a wedding coming up or a business meeting?You can book Aruhiba Cigars to be there and supply you with fresh, handmade cigars made right in front of you. He also has something big in the works that I won't spoil here, but I'm sure that the American tourists are going to love. Winner of "The Best of Aruba" business award in 2014-2015, you got to check out Benjamin's sticks.
It was a true pleasure spending time with someone who worked hard to find their success using the resources around them. Everyone told Benjamin that his dream was never going to be within his reach, but his dedication and determination paid off greatly. I highly recommend that you check out his shop that next time your in Aruba or pick up one of his sticks from the hotels and grocery stores that supply them. Consume. Review. Repeat. gives Aruhiba Cigars a 10 out of 10 long, smooth draws.

Working with the Riva TNT video chipset
Contributed by: Metric Clockwork
This tip is valid for: Both BeOS and Haiku
If you're having problems with the Riva TNT video chipset, there are a few things you should check before giving up.
Look in your system's BIOS for a setting called "video bios shadow." Turn that off. Set your AGP graphics aperature size to 16mb. That should allow it to boot and work like a charm.
If after making the BIOS setting changes and installing the RIVA TNT driver, a blank screen still comes up, remember that [ALT + CTRL + SHIFT + F12] will restore the default resolution of 640 x 480 x8bpp, which you can then change to your preferred resolution.

I get cranky. Especially when I have had a cold since Thursday and couldn't get out on the snowshoes this weekend as planned. Heck, I really could not maintain much of a level of consciousness given the fever here, the aches there and the surreal effect of cold medication. Not prime time for the beer fan. So, it's a good thing we have books for these drier stretches. I got this one in the mail a few months ago. Been wondering when I would post about it. I really should post more reviews of CAMRA's excellent books but when this rare review copy came, I noticed my street address was off by about 127 front doors. Some guy two tenths of a mile away must have a great collection.
Anyway, I love this book. Why? Well, for one thing I am familiar with some walks covered having family that live on a few of the streets named upon the maps. I have spent some time there. I even dodged an indignant but well emptied bottle flung from a terrace far far above one Saturday at Hibs when Georgie Best was a no show and my father decided to leave early. But those connections to the town aren't what makes this book work for me. No, its the maps themselves that draw you in. Bright, well laid out and placed smartly on the page they offer clear instruction by the clever use of colour leaving no real need for a table explaining what means what. Then there are the photos which make you want to crawl right though into that place in Prestonpans or the other on Rose Street. [Sadly, it appears that the Rose Street Brewery, where I spent a few happy days in 1986, is not more or at least not worth mentioning.] And then there are the walking tours. I don't know of any North American pub guide based on this idea but it is an excellent one. Implicitly moderate or perhaps otherwise sensible, the 25 routes provide more information than a traveler might ever require and maybe even enough to keep a local well occupied.
The book seems to have been backed by the combination of CAMRA and Caledonian Brewery which might lead one to worry that a fix was in. Not a chance as there is every indication of as ecumenical an approach to mentioning tap offerings as you might wish. Well worth the investment for anyone there in Edinburgh or planning to be.

I contacted Stein who sent me a recording of him reading my Monday piece. I created a video for it. On September 28, 2008, I uploaded Rick Monday Saves the U.S. Flag to YouTube.
Three years and four months later, it reached 10,000 views! Here is the proof.
Of course, stats can be used in many ways. The average YouTube video gets 800 views, but that number is skewed high by the handful which get millions.
What does it all mean? What is my point? Basically, I am just celebrating a milestone. Nothing more or nothing less. I am so proud and awed by that whole experience. The totality of it all has been great.
Rick Monday and me in Los Angeles, CA-June 2008.

This hop highlights different projects completed by students in Ali Edwards' One Little Word class at Big Picture Scrapbooking. The entire hop will be live as of 8 a.m. PST on March 1.
For this month's assignment, Ali challenged us to take nine photos that highlight our One Little Word. My word for 2012 is Rest.
I'll be honest. I'm not doing so great with my word right now - which has become painfully obvious in the last week or so.
I'm learning - the hard way - the importance of rest, and in my world, taking a sabbath to recharge and renew. Without this time away, I become ineffective not only in my personal life, but also in my ministry. (And if I am truly honest with myself, I become a wee bit grumpy to be around.)
But back to the assignment. I'll admit, trying to determine the nine photos that represented my word left me stuck. Frozen. Unable to take photos.
Last week, I finally posted on the OLW forum for advice.One of my fellow classmates challenged me to take a few pics of things that recharge my soul.
Because I was at a conference in Nashville, and a bit out of my "everyday" schedule, I decided to take her advice, "unplug" and try to rest.
The pictures represent (from the top left corner):
The hotel bed - sometimes you just need sleep.
What I'm reading - I love spiritual memoirs and Lauren Winner's Still is my current read.I'm not "speeding through it, but rather savoring it.
Clock - to remind me that sometimes you just need to go to bed.
Tea - my drink of choice, especially since I'm weaning off of soda and have given up lattes for Lent.
A self portrait - because sometimes when you rest, it helps you remember to look at life half-full.
I'm still struggling with my word - and what it represents in my world. But I'm finding that this class makes me keep my word front and center in my thoughts. It seems I just need to stop, rest and be open to what God wants to teach me in 2012.
Thanks for coming by and checking out my progress in the OLW class. Have fun checking out the other posts on the tour.

Stephanie Headley gets $128K from anonymous donor for medical expenses
Ottawa woman diagnosed with systemic scleroderma in 2002 raising money for stem-cell surgery in U.S.
An Ottawa woman with a fatal disease is crediting an anonymous donor with saving her life after a stranger stopped by her house to deliver a $128,000 bank draft.
Stephanie Headley was diagnosed in 2002 with systemic scleroderma, an autoimmune disease characterized by the thickening of skin and eventual failure of organs.
Headley was told five years ago she had five years to live, but she found hope when she learned of a stem cell therapy available in the United States that has had success with other autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and multiple sclerosis.
The procedure, performed by Dr. Richard Burt, an immunologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, cost $125,000 US and was not covered in Canada. But she was not deterred.
"I have one of the most aggressive forms and in fact am a miracle just sitting here... If I could battle this, there was something out there that could save me," she said.
'I fell to the ground, I cried'
On July 3, she got a phone call from a man who wanted to drop off a donation at her home. Ten minutes later, the man — wearing ski sunglasses and a hat to hide his face — wordlessly handed her an envelope and turned to leave.
"Just before he turned around I said, 'God bless you,' and he smiled. A big smile across his face. And he turned around and left," she said.
She then opened the envelope and saw the value of the bank draft.
"I'm looking at the decimals, I'm looking at the zeroes, I'm sure I've got it wrong. I fell to the ground, I cried, I screamed, I yelled. I just kept saying, 'Thank you God, thank you God, I'm going to live, I'm going to live,'" said Headley.
Headley didn't reveal the donation until Monday, after bank officials had confirmed the authenticity of the bank draft.
She said she is now scheduled to begin treatments on Sept. 22, and hopes to one day find out who he is.

Theme Graphics Switcher is an application that allows to transfer application and folder icons from one theme to another. To work it needs sis package of a source theme where icons will be taken from and a target sis package where icons from source theme will be transferred to (sis packages for S60 3rd edition and S60 5th edition are supported).
Choose packages of source and target theme, check the icons you would like to copy then click Start to transfer them. "Remove original icons from target theme" checkbox allows to choose how application icons of source and target themes are synchronized. If it is checked all application and folder icons that do not exist in a source theme are being removed from target theme (so that there is no mix of different icon sets). If not, those icons are kept (this mode can be useful when it is needed to complete icon set in target theme with icons from a source theme).
Theme Graphics Switcher saves a backup of target theme (file with a .bak extension) in the same folder where its sis package is stored. Should something go wrong you can always restore an original theme. You don't have to sign a package of target theme before installation on device, Theme Graphics Switcher will do it for you.
Current version of Theme Graphics Switcher allows to transfer application and folder icons only. If you need other functions, please, support the development and make a donation.

Hello again concept art .org!
As just a brief introduction, my name is Matt H. Im 16 (now 18 ) years old, from Auckland New Zealand, and Ive been drawing for about 4 years.
Cool now thats out the way
This is my second real sketchbook at CA, as my last account went down with technical difficulties (which are still to be resolved).That and the fact that my last sb was nearly a year old, I thought it was about time to start up another sketchbook.
And Ive mentioned this before and Ill say it again, the Art on this site is of a mind-blowing high standard, and Im always a little uneasy posting my shit here.
So please rip this sketchbook apart with crits and comments, as any feedback is always greatly appreciated.
P.S. Im going to put a thumbnail in this post so look for artwork in the second.
Cheers Matt.

I do not make 12 hole ocarinas as the concept is problematic. The ocarina is a lossy instrument and opening more holes to raise the pitch also allows the internal air pressure to escape. To compensate for this the player has to blow harder. However at some point the air-stream becomes turbulent and tone production stops. This limits the total range an ocarina can produce. 12 hole ocarinas exist right on the limit of what is physically attainable. Consequently implementing one leaves a maker with little freedom.
As the whole chamber oscillates the two sub-holes of a 12 hole ocarina change the playing characteristics of the entire instrument. To attain more range exponentially more air is needed. The pressure difference between the low and high notes increases dramatically and the high notes sound more airy.
Due to these pitfalls makers of 12 hole ocarinas frequently cheat. They tune the low A with a large reduction of breath pressure. While this does clean up the high notes it greatly reduces the volume of the low end. It also makes it difficult to play the low notes in tune. Eliminating the sub holes and reducing the chamber volume makes the whole instrument easier to play and sound better. In other words:
Regardless of how good a 12 hole ocarina is, the same design with a smaller chamber and fewer holes will result in a better instrument.
The 10 and 11 hole design has almost identical fingering, yet is more balanced over it's sounding range. The breath curve also becomes much easier to deal with. It's almost linear with a small difference in pressure between the lowest and highest notes. This makes the ocarina much easier to play in tune, especially in faster music.
If you want more range either play a multichamber or a different instrument. In a multi each chamber is responsible for only a small part of the total range. A double alto G ocarina overlaps the range that a 12 hole alto C attempts to create yet can sound every one of these notes without making compromises.

These days, eating more vegetables by following a vegetarian diet is easier than ever. From soy-based "meats" to tempeh, vegetarian options are endless. The one thing that stops many people from becoming a vegetarian is the concern that they will not get enough protein.
According to Patti Ennis, manager of the clinical nutrition program at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, adequate protein to maintain body tissues, including muscle, can be easily achieved on a plant-based diet.
"Not only are certain vegetables high in protein, but they also provide other nutrients, including fiber, vitamins and minerals," she says, adding that these healthy proteins contain no saturated fat or cholesterol.
The benefits of a plant-based diet include:
- Reduced cardiovascular risk
- Reduced risk of Type 2 diabetes
- Reduced risk of some forms of cancer
- Improvement to environmental impact
According to the National Institutes of Health, the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of protein needed for the average adult is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight — for example, if an individual weighs 135 pounds, he or she would need 48.6 grams of protein each day. To calculate your RDA, multiply your body weight in pounds by 0.36.
When following a plant-based diet, ensure you are receiving the recommended amount of protein each day by incorporating these high-protein, vegetarian options:
- Black beans (1 cup) = 15.2 grams of protein
- Lentils, boiled (1 cup) = 17.9 grams of protein
- Tofu, firm (1/2 cup) = 19.9 grams of protein
- Quinoa, cooked (1 cup) = 11 grams of protein
- Chickpeas, boiled (1 cup) = 14.5 grams of protein
To help support eating more fruits and vegetables, the Food Nutrition Services Department at Sharp Chula Vista observes "Meatless Mondays." If you're thinking about becoming a vegetarian, start by dedicating one day a week to eating plant-based meals. That way, it is easier to either accept vegetarianism altogether or work toward maintaining a modified version of the plant-based diet.

It's been another sobering month with oil washing ashore on Alabama beaches ten miles south of my home. As far north as thirty miles, people have reported the cloying scent of wet asphalt that is the crude oil destroying our Gulf waters, coastal areas and their economies.
Later, on July 18, 2004—exactly one month after our first date—he and I sat alone on the sugar white sands of Orange Beach listening to the night waves kiss the shore and soaking up the warm, salty breeze as we first told each other we loved each other.

The PYREN project
The goal of the PYREN project is to create a transfrontier campus with the public Spanish universities of the southern foothills of the Pyrénées (University of Basque Country, Public University of Navarre and the University of Saragossa) to help students develop competences useful for that environment.
Linguistic competence is a prerequisite for exchange, both real and virtual: more than 1,100 hours of teaching are provided each year, of which 388 are for staff. The linguistic level of participants is increasing. Teachers and adminstrators have shown a strong interest for the program: 38 have acheived a certification.
Long-term study-abroad programs remain very attractive. More than 40 students leave each year for at least a semester in one of the partner universities. Short-term mobility, limited to stays of several days, is also very popular, with 95 students in 2015-2016. Students are also encouraged to do internships in one of the three border regions. In 2016-2017, to prepare these internships, a dedicated instruction program was created for third-year students.
Faculty mobility continues to progress regularly and has become anchored in institutional culture. Faculty members have begun to know their cross-boarder counterparts better and to communicate regularly. Every year, there are around 25 faculty member visits.
Administrative mobility is increasing rapidly, which shows the interest among administrators for these partnerships. Forty members of the administrative staff participate in stays in one of the transfrontier universities.
Digital initiatives for the instructional parts of the program began in 2013. A call for projects for distance learning modules was launched in and seven modules are completed or in their final phases. The combine use of one module has begun, and eleven others are under review. A on-line linguistic tandem module has also been developed and is being evaluated by a local government structure. The program "French-Spanish Business Law", entirely as distance learning, began at UPPA in the fall of 2015, with the help of the other transfrontier universities.
One of the positive aspect of the program is that it has favored various forms of institutionalisation. There has been a rapid increase in the number of conventions for dual diplomas between UPPA and its partners (6 in 2011-2012, 13 in 2016-2017). It is clear that this is due the intensification of the exchanges between campuses. PYREN is a motor for the development of UPPA's transfrontier cooperation. Beyond the activities of the project itself, the joint preparation of a number of European projects like INTERREG POCTEFA with the UPV-EHU and the UZ is a good example of this. Seminars on trans-border university cooperation provided opportunities for creating bonds between various transfrontier actors in France and abroad. Lastly, and most of all, the plan for a "Franco-Spanish university", modeled after the Franco-German university, and which UPPA helped found, provides a promising context for future developments.
More information about PYREN is avalaible here.

Simple Concept With Industrious Results – Pumper Trucks!
There are various kinds of heavy-duty industrial trucks being used today, most of which have range from simplest ideas, offering methods to even difficult work issues. Such may be the situation with pumper or tanker trucks they provide an safe and effective method to transport most fluids, from obvious pool water to caustic chemicals. Despite this type of simplistic concept, pumper trucks can be found in many types with different uses in your mind. So you should examine the different sorts to be certain the correct one is put into the job fleet.
Pumper versus. Tanker Body Within the Same?
Many people give them a call pumpers yet others may give them a call tankers. The truth is, these two kinds of work automobiles are nearly exactly the same factor – a truck having a large tank made to transport various fluids and outfitted having a pump to load and unload tank contents. The variations which do exist mainly consist of the methods by which each is used, although both types do essentially exactly the same factor.
In additional specific terms, a tanker may make reference to a truck having a large tank that may hold sometimes 1000's of gal of liquid having a regular pump for loading and unloading, while a pumper is really a tank truck having a more effective pump that may either siphon or generate liquid pressurized. Both of them came from in the same fundamental idea except for a couple of individual particulars, like the size the pump and also the industry where the truck can be used. An ideal illustration of each will be a large, 18-wheeler fuel tanker along with a fire pumper.
Pumper and Tanker Usage
Besides a principal job of hauling fluids lengthy distances or just being a primary bit of fire fighting equipment, pumper trucks and tankers are visible in action in a number of different industries and jobs . Septic trucks and oil delivery tankers are often seen moving liquid cargo within the country and around the globe taking proper care of daily public and municipal needs. They may also transport water that is clean for a number of uses, transfer milk from farms to bottling dairies, and carry plant manure or weed murders to pay on crops, grass, and along roadways.
In additional specialized programs, pumpers and tankers can be used for hydro excavation, elimination of waste water from mining sites, delivering fuel to planes at international airports, moving hazardous chemicals along with other materials, and nearly other things that may be moved more securely inside a tanker. With the proper pumps, they may be used regularly in sewer and drain cleaning programs because the opportunity to both vacuum and pump at ruthless is important for your kind of work.
Pumper and Tanker – Special Duty
Although the primary usage is identical for automobiles, the primary distinction between them apart from potentially the dimensions and utilisation of the pump is by using the tank itself. Size and construction are the most crucial particulars when thinking about an automobile for particular uses, since specialized needs require specialized equipment.
The fabric utilized in tank construction is crucial when it comes to the way it will react or corrode using the material being transported as certain metals interact with some chemicals or corrode quicker than others. Learn this in advance and go into account before putting any type of pumper into use to prevent harmful situations.
When properly outfitted to do the job, tanker and pumper trucks are the most helpful and versatile work automobiles, nearly competitive with the great old dump truck. Simple ideas could be modified extensively to assist the planet function – and pumper trucks continue being utilized in new working programs every single day, putting much more value around the technology entering these automobiles that may equip them for the best tasks!

My son loves this spinach recipe and has since he was old enough to complain about what goes on his plate. Often I make this and flaky biscuits with butter and marmalade for a two-person meal. It's a great side, but it can be a meal all by itself. If you like it as much as we do, you'll make it a meal.
Ingredients needed for the best spinach recipe:
- 4 slices bacon ( I use Pederson's Uncured Apple Smoked Bacon. The fat is clear and doesn't smoke. Additionally, the flavor is awesome.)
- 1 large shallot (If you don't have a shallot, a whole small red onion is good too.)
- 1/4 c. red wine (I use whatever I have on hand.)
- 1 heaping tablespoon of light brown sugar
- A handful of dried cranberries (I don't measure, I grab.)
- 1 5-oz package of baby spinach (Pre-washed. Nothing is more tedious than washing spinach. I use Earthbound Farm Organic.)
When the spinach is at this stage, it's ready to eat!
I hope you'll give this recipe a try. If you do, let me know if you were satisfied or not.

Tombstone Tuesday – Nathaniel & Mary Wood
Nathaniel and Mary McMulin Wood are buried in the Milan Cemetery, Ryan Township, Sumner County, Kansas. This cemetery is located one mile west of Milan, Kansas (and about 15 miles west of Wellington) on Highway 160.
Nathaniel and his wife Mary were homesteaders in Sumner County, owning a quarter section of ground just about two miles west of Milan on what is now known to locals as "old 160 highway". My apologies to anyone who is researching, I don't know the new 9-1-1 name for this country road without driving out to look.
Nathaniel and Mary were my husband's great grandparents on his father's side, and though I do have a little more information on them, I don't have much and I don't have it with me right now.
My mother-in-law, C. Maxine Deffenbaugh Kline, always told me that Nathaniel's nickname was "Than" and I thought that was interesting, as most would be nicknamed Nat or Nate.
Someday soon I need to do more research on that line!
P.S. If Nathaniel and Mary are in your family tree, please leave a note so we can 'connect the dots.' Thanks and 'happy hunting!'

While the actual Summer season doesn't officially begin until late-June, the Summer movie season historically kicks off in the month of May. As usual, the studios have jam-packed the slate with would-be blockbusters, though the schedule is particularly competitive this year: no fewer than four movies are sequels to $200 million domestic grossers, which means all of these titles come with insanely high expectations. The biggest May ever came in 2011 ($1.04 billion), while last May was also quite strong with $1.02 billion. Based on the titles alone—Iron Man 3, Star Trek Into Darkness, Fast & Furious 6 and The Hangover Part III, among others—May 2013 should set a new record, though it's possible that these movies cannibalize each other late in the month and the box office falls just short.May 3To officially start the season, Iron Man 3 is the only new release on the first weekend of May. The sequel opened in most overseas markets this past weekend and earned an incredible $198.4 million, which was actually slightly up on last Summer's The Avengers; this confirmed the theory that, at least in some places, the movie is going to perform like the follow-up to The Avengers, not Iron Man 2. The Avengers was an unprecedented movie-going event, though, and matching that movie's $207.4 domestic opening weekend record should be out of reach for Iron Man 3. With strong reviews (it's currently hovering in the high-80s on Rotten Tomatoes), and goodwill from The Avengers, though, an opening weekend over $150 million seems guaranteed, which will put it on pace to set a very high bar for Summer 2013 releases.May 10The second weekend of May is historically a tough place to open a blockbuster movie, though it isn't the total dead zone that some make it out to be (this weekend produced a $100 million movie in 2009, 2010, and 2011). This year, the studios are using the date to counterprogram to female audiences with The Great Gatsby and Tyler Perry Presents Peeples.Director Baz Luhrman's adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's iconic novel The Great Gatsby seems to have a lot going for it: it has stunning visuals, an all-star cast, and a vibrant, romantic marketing effort. Unfortunately, early word is that the ambitious movie doesn't really work, which means it will have a tough time holding up against tough competition for the rest of the month. If it turns out to be decent, a $100 million total is within reach, but otherwise look for it to fall a bit short.Tyler Perry Presents Peeples is the first movie produced by—but not written or directed by—prolific filmmaker Tyler Perry. With a likeable, recognizable cast that includes Craig Robinson and Kerry Washington, the movie will likely have broader appeal than most Perry movies, though without Madea it's hard to say how much of Perry's core fanbase will turn out. Ultimately, it should perform on the lower-end for Perry comedies, which still means a total of at least $40 million. May 17There's only one movie opening on the third weekend of May, but it's a big one. Star Trek Into Darkness is the follow-up to 2009's Star Trek reboot, which earned over $257 million and retains a strong reputation four years later. The marketing for this entry has done a fine job increasing the stakes by highlighting the Enterprise's destruction, and has also made a concerted effort to showcase the conflict between Kirk and the new villain, played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Combined with the goodwill for the first movie, this should be enough to propel the movie to a huge opening weekend, but the crowded late-May schedule should make it difficult for the movie to noticeably out-gross its predecessor.For this movie, though, the big growth area is overseas: the first outing only earned $128 million, but with the addition of 3D, the growth of major markets like China and Russia, and a concerted international marketing strategy from Paramount, this entry will do at least double that (probably much, much more).
