text: Brand Marketing IQ News: Air Force Reserve Wants A Few Good Gamers By Susan Kuchinskas|September 7, 1998Share By Susan Kuchinskas|September 7, 1998Share Seeking to tap a younger band of recruits, perhaps with the fastest trigger fingers of all, the U.S. Air Force Reserve is teaming with online gaming service Total Entertainment Network, San Francisco, as the exclusive advertiser for a Quake II tournament next month. The competition, "Above and Beyond the Edge, A Quake II Capture the Flag Tournament," runs from October 5 to November 1 on TEN's gaming site. It marks the AFR's first use of the medium to woo potential recruits without any prior military experience. The AFR traditionally has focused its online and offline recruitment efforts on ex-military types to fill its annual quota of 10,000 new sign-ups. But with downsizing efforts putting the crunch on each military branch, the AFR has turned to the Net to reach a younger crowd. Chief Master Sergeant Steve A. Turner, U.S. Air Force Reserve, said the TEN tournament is a good match of demographics and reinforces the Reserve's high-tech image. Turner added that he doesn't think the game's violent content will be a turn-off. "We realize that our target audience plays games and that's how we figure we'll reach them." The tournament "is a great idea," said Jim Dangcil, who works for Disney Online and is a member of TEN's Professional Gamers' League. "It requires team play as opposed to straight killing. I know some people may be touchy about violence, but Quake is a well-accepted game. I don't see [the AFR] going out on a limb with this." The event, customized specifically for the Reserve, will be open to all TEN members with premium accounts; it will feature up to 96 two-player matches, with the top six teams sharing more than $1,000 in cash and prizes. "They wanted to spread the word about the Air Force Reserve, increase recruitment and drive traffic to their brand new Web site," said Erik Lundberg, director of sales and interactive marketing for TEN. The company also designed banner ads, buttons and graphics for the AFR in cooperation with the AFR's agency, TMP Worldwide, Atlanta. The AFR's annual ad budget is $2.5 million, mostly spent in print and radio. TMP vice president/account director, Byron Galway, would not disclose what percentage was earmarked for the Internet, but noted that a majority of those dollars went toward the launch earlier this month of the new AFR site. Net ad expenditures for the AFR should rise in 1999, he added. Share http://adweek.it/2l0Cll8 copy Adweek Adweek

The invisible threat of electronic identity theft is always looming. Without portable file security products we can fall victim to identity theft, the question is when, not if.
Online PR News – 28-May-2012 – Beaverton – Beaverton, Oregon — March 24, 2012 — According to a recent study a new form of identity theft is fast emerging on top, identity theft through mobile storage devices. Mobile devices with the potential of storing personal information, such as smart phones, tablets, laptops and USB storage devices can easily be misplaced. Once misplaced, these devices can effortlessly end up in the hands of an identity thief. Jonathan Ladd who works as a security consultant for New Softwares.net knows the true impact identity theft has on its victims; he researches on cases pertaining to identity theft every day. "Most ordinary folks never give any second thoughts to portable file security, until they fall victim to it" Ladd says.
Glen Ridge, New Jersey: Kate Patrick receives a phone call from office depot's loss prevention department, the subject matter: her most recent purchase of computer equipments and toner cartridges. However, Kate never purchased any of those items. It turned out that the transaction was conducted through Kate's credit card by an identity thief. To make matters even more confusing, Kate never even lost her wallet. Her information was stolen electronically! "Electronic means of obtaining personal information is the biggest threats to your privacy, because you never find out about it, unless someone informs you" Ladd further added. New Software specializes in developing file security software designed to prevent frauds like identity theft. One of their software USB Lock is designed to prevent such incidents if a person were to lose their portable storage device, such as a flash drive or a portable hard-drive. The software installed on the USB device password protects folders and files located on the portable storage devices. Recently New Softwares has updated this software to version 1.2.6 which enables it to work smoothly and more efficiently with all variants of windows 7 operating systems.

The News Gets Older Every Day
For what we owe ourselves now, go to john conyers' website and sign the petition about the "Downing Street Memo." And if you're in Brooklyn, may I suggest that you amble over to Prospect Park where there will be a free "ice-cream social" at 1pm along with other exciting events, such as free reading at the public library. Speaking of libraries, in another symptom of our backwards corporate city government, there is more bad news. I was in the poorly funded public library last week and they had the little tables set up for the patrons to write letters to the mayor and the city council. They also have a donation page, if you feel so inclined.

More old news - via Daily Kos
CNN is reporting today that federal agents raided a slave camp filled with homeless persons in Florida.
From CNN:
Federal agents raided a migrant farm labor camp where homeless men and women were kept in what labor officials called a version of modern-day slavery.
Four people, including the camp's owner, Ronald Evans, face federal charges in a case that officials said is likely to grow. Investigators are looking into alleged environmental violations and drugs found at the camp in Friday's raid.
"The word is out that we are concerned about human trafficking, and we will leave no stone or camp unturned," said Steve Cole, a spokesman for Jacksonville U.S. attorney Paul I. Perez.
Officials said homeless people were recruited to the Evans Labor Camp through offers of room and board, along with alcohol, tobacco and drugs, which they bought on credit. But they never made enough in the field to pay it off, according to an investigative summary.

2015 Volkswagen Jetta Preview
By Jeff Youngs, April 10, 2015
Fast Facts:
- Revised styling
- Newly available safety systems
- Improved fuel efficiency
- Updated diesel engine
- Lighting package
- 1.8T Sport trim level
- Jetta SportWagen has been replaced by the Golf SportWagen
Long a popular choice among budget-conscious shoppers, the 5-passenger Jetta returns for 2015 in sedan guise only, as the versatile SportWagen has been dropped to make way for the all-new Golf SportWagen. This year's Jetta sedan is highlighted by subtle visual changes and, more importantly, engine upgrades that deliver more power and greater efficiency. These enhancements are joined by a selection of advanced safety technologies and a 1.8T Sport version featuring aggressively bolstered seats and a retuned suspension. The end result is what Volkswagen describes as a more refined Jetta.
Exterior Features
Changes to the outside of the 4-door 2015 Volkswagen Jetta sedan are minimal yet not insignificant. Designers massaged the bumpers, added an integrated decklid spoiler, and tweaked the grille. An active grille shutter on 1.8T and TDI models serves to improve aerodynamics, as do new underbody panels. Entry-level Jettas roll on 15-in. steel wheels whereas pricier examples are fitted with 17- or 18-in. alloy wheels.
Interior Features
As one might expect, what's found inside the 2015 Jetta is largely dependent upon which trim level is selected, though even the base 2.0 S version rolls off the assembly line with air conditioning, Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, keyless entry, and power windows. Moving up through the ranks opens the doors to more upscale content, such as a touch-screen infotainment system, Fender audio upgrade, rearview camera, heated front seats, automatic dual-zone climate control, navigation, power moonroof, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
Optional Features
Similar to other automakers like Honda, Volkswagen limits options for its models and instead offers a variety of progressively well-equipped trim levels. That said, buyers do have their choice of transmissions and upgrades such as the new Lighting package, which consists of adaptive HID headlights with LED daytime running lights, ambient interior lighting, and a unique instrument panel display.
Under the Hood
Volkswagen has successfully distinguished its front-wheel-drive (FWD) Jetta from other mainstream sedans by availing buyers to an ample selection of powertrains, an approach the company continues to employ for the 2015 model year. Starting things off is a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 115 horsepower and 125 lb.-ft. of torque, all of which is managed by a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. For those with a more enthusiastic approach to driving, the Jetta's turbocharged 1.8-liter 4-cylinder--producing 170 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque--may be more satisfying. If that's still not quite enough to meet the demands of a heavy right foot, the Jetta GLI's turbocharged 2.0-liter may do the trick with its 210 horsepower and 207 lb.-ft. of torque. Transmission choices for the GLI include a 6-speed manual or 6-speed dual-clutch automatic, the same gearboxes VW pairs with its re-engineered 2.0-liter turbo diesel, an engine that generates 150 horses and 236 lb.-ft. of torque.
In addition to those configurations, there's a Jetta Hybrid that utilizes a turbocharged 1.4-liter 4-cylinder joined by an electric motor, 1.1-kWh Lithium-ion battery, and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Net output measures 170 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque.
Fuel Economy
No matter which powertrain is selected, the 2015 Jetta promises to deliver commendable efficiency, at the very least, as evidenced by the sporty GLI, which delivers an EPA-estimated 32-33 mpg on the highway. Fuel economy for all other 2015 Jetta variants goes up from there, with the base naturally aspirated 2.0-liter offering 34 mpg highway, the turbocharged 1.8T promising 37 mpg highway, and the miserly TDI diesel boasting a high of 46 mpg highway. Trumping them all is the Jetta Hybrid with its 48-mpg highway rating.
Every 2015 Volkswagen Jetta rolls off the assembly line with standard safety features that include 6 air bags, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution, electronic stability control, and more. Reserved for higher trim levels are more advanced technologies, such as new-for-2015 blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and forward-collision warning systems, front and rear park-assist sensors, and those adaptive HID headlights.
In government crash tests, the 2015 Volkswagen Jetta received an overall rating of 5 (out of 5) stars, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the Jetta received a "Good" rating--the Institute's highest--for frontal-offset crash protection; the Jetta also received a "Top Safety Pick" designation from the Institute.

Liberia: George Weah invited Arsène Wenger!
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger told the BBC he had been invited by Liberia's new president, George Weah, to his inauguration at the end of the month.
Arsene Wenger was the manager of Weah in Monaco between 1988 and 1992 but he is not sure he can attend.
« I was invited by George Weah to come the day he will be the president, » he said.
« I think I'll be busy but if I'm suspended (for his comments on the referees), I'll have time to go. »
Wenger faces a disciplinary hearing of the Football Association for several comments he has made about referees in recent weeks. Arsenal boss admits he still has a hard time believing what Weah has achieved.
« The life of this guy is a real movie, it's amazing, it can make a fantastic movie, » said Wenger.
« I remember when I saw him for the first time in Monaco, a little lost, not knowing anyone, being ranked by no one as a player and becoming the best player in the world in 1995 and now becoming president of his country, « he continued.
Wenger also recalled the passion and love that Weah had for Liberia.
« I went with George during the period when there was the war in Liberia and I saw how much he suffered for his country, » said Wenger.
« It was the thing that was continuous in his country, the love for his country and for his people. Today, when I look back, I see him crying when the war was in Liberia, so it's a happy story. I hope he has a happy presidency and I would like to say that this guy is an example for all those who play football today. « , Concluded Arsenal manager.

Hubby and I leafed through our beach books, as the dad made himself a bowl of cereal and sat down. However, mom was still on her feet, talking to the kids, heating the banana slices in syrup in the microwave, and plating up. After about a minute she returned to the table with two homemade looking breakfasts for her offspring. It was the most incredible thing I'd ever seen.
I stole a few awed glances at the result of her work, and marveled—debating whether to ask if I could snap a picture. In the end, I didn't. Instead whispered to hubby across the table, 'Moms are amazing.'
Never in a million years would we selflessly primp and prime a stack of anything, continental or otherwise, to create something both beautiful and edible. We're more utilitarian than that, hubby and I shoveled in what was there and largely ignored the aesthetics of the experience. Yet here was this woman taking the time to give her children the experience of a home cooked meal while they were far from home.

Platelet aggregation test
- Antibiotics
- Antihistamines
- Blood thinners, such as aspirin, that make it hard for the blood to clot
- Nonsteroidal inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Autoimmune disorders that produce antibodies against platelets
- Fibrin degradation products
- Inherited platelet function defects
- Medicines that block platelet aggregation
- Bone marrow disorders
- Uremia (a result of kidney failure)
- Von Willebrand disease (a bleeding disorder)
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling lightheaded
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)
The platelet aggregation blood test checks how well platelets, a part of blood, clump together and cause blood to clot.
How the Test is Performed
A blood sample is needed.
The laboratory specialist will look at how the platelets spread out in the liquid part of the blood (plasma) and whether they form clumps after a certain chemical or drug is added. When platelets clump together, the blood sample is clearer. A machine measures the changes in cloudiness and prints a record of the results.
How to Prepare for the Test
Your health care provider may tell you to temporarily stop taking medicines that may affect the test results. Be sure to tell your provider about all the medicines you take. These include:
Do not stop taking any medicine without first talking to your provider.
How the Test will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or bruising. This soon goes away.
Why the Test is Performed
Your provider may order this test if you have signs of a bleeding disorder or a low platelet count. It may also be ordered if a member of your family is known to have a bleeding disorder due to platelet dysfunction.
The test can help diagnose problems with platelet function and determine whether the problem is due to your genes, another disorder, or a side effect of medicine.
Normal Results
The normal time it takes for platelets to clump depends on temperature, and may vary from laboratory to laboratory.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or may test different specimens. Talk to your provider about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Decreased platelet aggregation may be due to:
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another, and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.

As I've already said, Sailer started her new school this week. I know this probably sounds crazy, but I worry constantly about Sailer's learning, schools both for now and in the future, etc. It's just that I believe a strong foundation is crucial, and I want to do everything I can for her to succeed later. Well, I researched pretty much every school around, went and visited them, talked to other parents, etc.... and everyone I spoke with (and what I saw) pointed me to a little school called Reading Friends this year. All the parents rave about it and their curriculum & results are extremely impressive. Anyway, I'm used to getting a little "progress" report each day since that's what they did at her school this past year, so Mark & I totally ripped open her backpack to see what they'd sent home. Nothing. Second day- just fun stuff was sent home. Again, nothing about what they'd done, etc. Totally disappointed. So I say all of this because today completely validated my choice for me. First, she RAN into school and didn't look back at her mama in the car (this was a little sad for me.) Second, when I picked her up at the end, her teacher brought her out to the car, and when the teacher waived at her, Sailer waived back and said "adios" without any prompting!! And finally, I opened up her little backpack to get her cup out and found a HUGE pack of paper of everything they'd been doing all week, a printout of the songs they'd been learning so we could practice with them (both in english and in spanish), and suggestions on how we can implement the different learning techniques at home. So although I love the language element they're introducing, they also have a program called PC Kids where they're teaching computers. When we got home I asked Sailer what different things on the computer were and she completely knew. She knows how to get to certain things already, but I thought this segment was so cool!
Tonight, we all headed over to see some of our wonderful friends and their new baby boy, Grant. We've already decided their going to be best friends. Isn't he a cutie.
And here's a pic with his sweet mama, Tracy.

Elfcapades 2012: Day 4
Today was the first day that Cooper woke up and thought of Elfis without anybody mentioning him first. He noticed as we were heading downstairs this morning that Elfis was not up in his airplane anymore. He confirmed that the airplane was back safe and sound, then started turning on all the lights. I asked what he was doing, and he said "Looking for Elfis". I love that he's caught on already!
Well, he searched for a few minutes but couldn't find him before heading out the door. I worked from home today and even though I was at my computer all day, I still didn't see or hear anything from Elfis all day. So, if he was up to something, he was quiet about it.
I left the house briefly to go pick up the boys. When we pulled in the garage, Cooper told me he wanted to find Elfis. We walked in and set our stuff down, and then noticed a noise. "You hear that noise?" I asked Cooper? (One of his favorite questions for me.) He shushed me and said it was Elfis. We decided to see where it was coming from and headed up the stairs. As we got near the top, we could see right away that the door to Natalie's room, which is usually closed, was wide open, and her light was on. The was music coming from her room. Justin Bieber music. First words I recognized? "I just need somebody to looooovvveee…"
What the…?
We walked in to find this:
He was sitting on Natalie's bed, holding Justin Bieber's guitar (from Natalie's Bieber doll), wearing a shiny blazer and some black hightop sneakers. Next to him was the CD booklet for the music he was listening to, AND he had three lovely ladies (Barbies) at his feet watching him. He must have been putting on a concert and we interrupted it!
Oh, that Elfis! Is he just a huge Bieber fan? A Belieber, maybe?? ;-}
Was he disappointed that Natalie doesn't have the Bieber Christmas album?
I noticed that Ken was not invited to this party. Does that mean Elfis is trying to find a girlfriend? Will there be more adventures with these ladies? Or maybe one in particular? I wonder if he prefers blondes or brunettes? Or maybe the pink hair and fairy green leg tattoos? (Does a fairy + an elf make a good couple? I don't know.)
Anyway, back to us… Cooper first insisted that we turn OFF the music. I don't think he liked what Elfis was up to. But just a couple minutes later, he wanted the music back on, and we danced for a couple songs. (He would NOT let me take a picture of him dancing though!) Now I can't stop singing "Baby, baby, baby, ohhhh…" Gotta love that Justin Bieber.

Plans Conversion to Hilton Hotel Brand
|NORWALK, Conn./INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., September 13, 2004 HEI Hospitality,
a privately held hospitality investment firm, today announced it had acquired
the Omni Indianapolis North hotel in Indiana from a subsidiary of Massachusetts
Mutual Life Insurance Company. Merritt Hospitality, a wholly owned
subsidiary of HEI, will manage the hotel.
The hotel will undergo a $4.6 million renovation beginning at year-end 2004 and be repositioned as an upscale Hilton Hotel, which provides significant upside potential for our investors, said Gary Mendell, HEI Chairman and CEO. The property is well located in the citys primary suburban office market and is adjacent to the Roche Diagnostics headquarters. The hotel has excellent meeting facilities and also will appeal to transient business and leisure travelers.
It is the fourth property acquired since HEI announced in June the formation of HEI Hospitality Fund, a $275 million private equity investment fund, which plans to acquire up to $800 million of hotels over the next 24 to 36 months.
The six-story hotel is situated on the northeast side of Indianapolis, at 8181 North Shadeland Avenue, and features 215 rooms, including nine suites, and 14,500 square feet of meeting and banquet space. The property will remain under the Omni brand until the end of the year, at which time it will begin the refurbishment program to upgrade the property. The hotel will remain open during the renovation, which will be done in phases to avoid disruptions to guests. Renovations will encompass all aspects of the property, including improvements to all guest rooms, meeting space, the restaurant and lobby. Following the completion of the upgrades near the end of the first quarter, the property will convert to the Hilton flag.
The fund has more than $700 million available to acquire both stabilized and turn-around hotels or portfolios. We seek first class, full-service hotels and resorts with 200 to 500 rooms in the top 50 U.S. markets, said Stephen Mendell, Executive Vice President - Acquisitions & Development.
Pinnacle Realty Investments represented the seller in the transaction.
HEI Hospitality, headquartered in Norwalk, Conn., is an ownership/investment firm that owns and/or operates 23 first-class and full-service hotels throughout the United States under such well-known brand names as Marriott, Sheraton, Westin and Hilton. Merritt Hospitality is an independent hotel management company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of HEI Hospitality.

My experience on this product:
First and foremost, i must warn that the product doesn't smell very good! However most people got use to the smell after a few usage. Results wise, i ain't as satisfied my fellow friends. But then again, i used SK-II miracle water before and do not feel the advantages as it claimed as well. Personally, i feel that yeast extract is not so suitable for my oily skin as i do not know why, but it caused my skin to become oilier than usual when others experience it to be help in oil control! Thus, the results really depend on individual.
Also, if your skin is sensitive to alcohol, then you shouldn't be using this product as you might experience stinging sensation together with redness or itchiness.
I have read from different areas and MANY people feedback that using this product gave them an instant radiant look and face is visibly less oily.
Comment from other:
"Used ah Ma for more then 15 days. Skin get less oily. Black and white heads on my nose are getting lesser, skin get very smooth after applied. I leave on for 30 mins and wash off with warm water. Ah Ma kind of firm my skin at the sametime exfoliate the dead skin…"

Printed banners are undoubtedly one of the powerful tools that can do great wonders when it is about marketing products and services of a company. It is true that they are existing and serving all kinds of industries from quite a long time now but it is only in the current times, their demand and need has seen a significant growth. Yet, till now, they have been proven successful in meeting the requirements of businesses such as to grace the promotional events, announcing or sending out the information in a clear way and leave a positive impression on the minds of the viewers. Printing Banners is a task which need to be done in a careful manner.
Image copurtesy: online rubber stamp
Many things and factors should be taken into account before and during the printing process. The essential factors include the style, size, design, color and content on the banner. For getting appropriate designs, companies can just check out the websites that provide an array of layouts and templates, which can directly used and customized as well. Although a different material, but the same process is used at the time of printing posters. Posters are those pieces which firms use with an intention of reaching out to a large number of people, Use Poster Templates to make Customised Posters.
These are also very reasonable in terms of cost compared to others but that does not make it less effectual in terms of advertising. The main purpose it serves is to communicate a simple idea and get the viewer's attention. The plus point of using posters is they can be placed anywhere whether is public places, on vehicles or in the areas where there is heavy flow of traffic. If a firm targets just viewer's attention by Unique And Eye Catchy Poster Designs, then it becomes essential to print them in an attractive way. Poster Design ought to look both decent and professional. It should remain successful not only in impressing potential customers but clients as well.
A poster that is well presented bring in a lot of benefits to an organization. Moreover, firms can expect making their presence in the market and create some image and recognition. In case of recognition, personal or professional identity is not very easy to create. But there are some tools such as customized Online Rubber Stamp that can help a company in reaching this objective. Stamps of names, signatures, and logos etc, of companies are usually included on almost all the papers and documents used in work places. These stamps represent the firms and hence, result in branding.

Coraline (Henry Selick, 2009)
Coraline Jones is a young girl who has recently moved in to a new house in an unfamiliar town. Ignored by her busy parents, she finds a door into what seems to be a parallel world which also has her mother and father, but much more warm and receptive to her. The only foible? Everyone in the world has buttons for eyes, and the parallel world is not all it appears to be.
Coraline is directed by the same man that directed James and the Giant Peach and The Nightmare Before Christmas, and he has again created a film full of whimsy and wonder. However, I couldn't help but feel distinctly underwhelmed by Coraline. The two fat ladies in it were almost Lynchian, and the dark twist ran throughout, so the shock, when it came, felt predictable, and Coraline was so whiny and irritating that, frankly, it would have been better if she had been trapped in the parallel universe forever. Teri Hatcher doing both the voices of the mother and the evil spider-lady was cool, and Dakota Fanning's obnoxious voice suited Coraline's spoilt character perfectly. My brother liked it, me, not so much.
Sex and the City Movie (Michael P. King, 2008)
Despite this film coming out only last year, I've seen it three times already, which, along with Forgetting Sarah Marshall, makes it my most viewed 2008 release. And I couldn't get enough of Carrie, Sam, Charlotte and Miranda, who are all just too awesome. The film itself is not as good as any of the episodes of Sex and the City I've watched, and didn't play true enough to the four characters - I thought the way Sam ended it with her sweet boyfriend was a shame, I couldn't see Steve ever cheating, etc, but it's still massively entertaining nonetheless, with a fun soundtrack (Jennifer Hudson, who co-stars in the film, croons a big ol' tune), brilliant costumes and the occasional funny moment. Kristen Davis is adorable as ever as Charlotte and Kim Catrall is as unashamed and big-mouthed as ever. I am wary about how the 2010 sequel will pan out (frankly, having one film is overkill), but, who am I kidding? I'll be there the day it comes out!
New York Minute (Dennie Gordon, 2004)
Seriously, seriously, seriously shit. The Olsen twins don't have an ounce of talent between them and even usually talented performers - such as Eugene Levy - just behave like goons in this film. There was a time when I was quite young and idolised the Olsen twins in there "So little Time" days, but I'm older and (hopefully) wiser now, and the simple fact that they could make New York seem like an undesirable destination speaks volumes about how garbage this film was.
Hunger (Steve McQueen, 2008)
Hunger is a film that I can admire more than I can appreciate. It was intense, grim, powerful and featured some very strong acting, but throughout, I was just really bored. Michael Fassbender is well worth his acclaim as Bobby Sands, IRA prisoner who goes on a hunger strike and believes his cause worth dying for. His scene with the priest was well-directed and appropriately talking, and the harsh prison violence is unflinchingly brought to life, but this film left me feeling detached and not altogether all that interested.
Dark Matter (Shi-Zheng Chen, 2007)
Curiously under-seen film about a talented Chinese university student from humble roots living in the US, whose aspirations of a Nobel prize are dashed by inter-school politics. This makes him bitter and sets off a sequence of catastrophic actions. Ye Liu is amazing as Liu Xing and the sequences which show the poverty and hardship of his family back at home ring true, which makes his character turning sour even more difficult to watch. Meryl Streep is as efficient and watchable as ever. A bit melodramatic at times, but heart-wrenchingly sad too. Recommended.
An American in Paris (Vincente Minnelli, 1951)
Gene Kelly is Jerry Mulligan, an artist living in Paris who catches the eye of Nina Foch's Milo Roberts, a wealthy divorcee, who starts championing him. At the same time, his head is turned by Leslie Caron's Lise Bouvier. Trouble is, Lisa's attached to her lifetime guardian Henri, a man she feels too indebted to leave. Cue lots of confusion, tap-dancing, and massive musical numbers orchestrated by George Gershwin. I wasn't at all won over by how the romance panned out in the film - it was shoddy, predictable and far too pat to ever come true in real life, but Gene Kelly can tap-dance like a mofo, and the theme song is lovely. Oscar Levant is also rather good fun as the grumpy concert pianist.
Lolita (Stanley Kubrick, 1962)
One of my favourite books, and the only film I really like from Stanley Kubrick. There are flaws, of course - Sue Lyon simply is not Lolita - she's too blonde, too old and nowhere near cruel enough. The chemistry between Mason and Lyon - or lack thereof - pails in comparison to Irons and Swain in the 90s version. That said, it's still a highly enjoyable film; Kubrick chose to blur over the whole paedophilia theme and a none of the naughty bunging is shown; 'tis all implied. James Mason is appropriately hapless as Humbert, and his good looks make him a convincing enough schmuck and male predator bunged in one. One of the biggest differences from the book is Quilty. Peter Sellers makes a hilarious Quilty - neurotic and humorous, when, in the book, he was a whole lot more sinister. It is Sellers' turn as Quilty that sets the tone of this Lolita as something a bit lighter and a lot funnier than the later version. Both are brilliant, tough.
Push (Paul McGuigan, 2009)
Dakota Fanning is such a knob, her character here is a mentor-type role, and she clearly relishes being able to act all "cool" and say "shit" now and then, which she does so by strutting about across the screen with a lame haircut and a look of such arrogance on her fact that it rivals Emma Watson. However, Denzel Washington she ain't, and she just doesn't have natural swagger
I also watched three quarters of Porco Rosso, which I enjoyed a fair bit, although it's not one of Miyazaki's most memorable. Pig was funny.

Phillip Chesnut is a cup-cake decorating guy who cares about his kids—not a bearded mountain man. Can he get his man card back?
Two recent events in my life led me to feeling the need, no, the urge, to share my thoughts on being a "man" in the 21st century. The first was the constant barrage of Dr. Pepper "Mountain Man" commercials for their 10 calorie soda. I'm not angry at Dr. Pepper. The commercials, I must admit, are funny and entertaining. My frustration lies with this image of what is "manly". I guess I share in the frustration that many women are feeling in that I don't feel that I am welcome to enjoy this particular drink because I don't technically fit the commercial's image of "manly". I fit more into the Bounty Quicker Picker Upper commercials as a frustrated mom who is so happy to be cleaning up their child's juice spill with only one sheet versus a whole roll of paper towels.
I will interject a short bio here so that you can judge my man status for yourself. I am a 34 year old electrical engineer and a father of two boys (Carson, 5 and Miles, 2). I am also a happy husband of 10 years to my wife, Amy. I was born, raised and currently live in Western Kentucky. As an electrical engineer who does not fish or hunt (yes, I live in Kentucky and don't fish or hunt), I had my man card pulled a while ago and am trying relentlessly to redefine the term "man" so I can get it back someday. I also devote my free time to community volunteerism. I serve on the board of directors of two local non-profits, I am a deacon at my church and my family and I are currently in the process of adopting our soon-to-be daughter from China.
This is where the second event comes into play. A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I were at our church preparing for our youngest son's second birthday. The theme of the birthday party was dogs, so I was happily preparing cupcakes that were decorated like a dog's face. One of the congregation members passed by me, put her hand on my shoulder and said, "It's so nice to see a father take an active role in his children's life." I know that this ladies comment had a lot of heart and compassion behind it so I smiled and said "Thank you" and went about my cupcake decorating. This comment truly troubled me though. What this comment said to me was this: "You know, before I had a chance to meet you, I assumed that, as a man, you did not take an active, compassionate role in your children's life. I am greatly surprised to see a man decorating cupcakes for his own child's birthday party. I figured you would be at home on a Saturday watching football and having a beer while your wife decorated for this party." Maybe I'm being too sensitive, but this, to me, is the major problem we are facing today as men.
When are people going to look away from the bearded "Mountain Man" of the Dr. Pepper commercials and look to the thin, slightly nerdy (see attached biography picture) dad who is decorating cupcakes and devoting his time to community needs and say "Wow, now that is a man." I want to help make this new "man" image a reality. Besides, I want my man card back.

Labour wants universities to "go further" in their city roles and be "absolutely critical" to industrial strategy, according to shadow minister Chi Onwurah, who described the party's plan to abolish fees as essential for higher education's civic mission.
The shadow industrial strategy minister set out more of Labour's vision for universities as part of a plan to build a "high-wage economy" when she spoke at a fringe event at the party's conference in Brighton on 25 September.
Meanwhile at another fringe event, Pam Tatlow, chief executive of MillionPlus, warned that plans to vary universities' fee caps according to their graduate earnings – said to be under consideration by the government – would judge universities according to the social class of their students.
Ms Onwurah spoke at a roundtable event on universities, industrial strategy and regional growth hosted by the Higher Education Policy Institute and UPP.
There was "a need for universities to go further" in their regional growth roles, she said. Ms Onwurah, MP for Newcastle Central, said Newcastle University had put its city role at its heart in recent years, helping it to become one of the best performing universities in terms of graduates retained in cities to work when their courses are complete.
She agreed with the findings of a UPP report on this issue that "graduate retention is a critical symptom of the medium-term economic prospects of a city, and a driver for future growth, productivity and prosperity".
Labour is looking at "the economic impact of universities and the economic choices of graduates" as an "integral part of educational and industrial policy", Ms Onwurah continued.
"I'm not saying I have the answers in terms of specific policies…but I want to emphasise our vision of an economy where universities are producing high-skilled graduates and also working within local communities, businesses and schools to support the high-skilled, high-wage, high-productivity economy," she said.
Universities would be "absolutely critical" in this field, she added.
The Conservative government had undermined "the civic aspects of higher education" by "commodifying the university experience", the shadow minister argued.
"Labour's plan to abolish fees will reverse this trend. And I think it is critical to the future of civic universities," she said.
Labour's approach to industrial strategy and science policy, Ms Onwurah said, was "highly influenced by the work of the innovation academic Mariana Mazzucato", director of the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose.
It included a "pledge to build an innovation nation" with 3 per cent of GDP invested in R&D as well as "to create the highest percentage of skilled jobs in any economy in the OECD by 2013".
She added: "That is about democratising science. So people, [including] working people in my constituency, feel the benefits of a rich, successful R&D economy.
"Evidently universities are an essential of achieving this goal."
At a fringe event hosted by MillionPlus and the National Union of Students on 24 September, Ms Tatlow said that when it came to variation between universities' graduate earnings, the "biggest determinant" was the social background of their students.
Graduate earnings data should not be used by the government to form policy on funding, she argued, as they were "not a measure of quality but a measure of social class", she added.

Confession: I love an ensemble cast. I just enjoy looking at famous people more than regular people. For this reason, I decided to go see "What to Expect When You're Expecting" with my sister this weekend. It's not like I read the book seeing as I am not nor have I ever been with child. I also needed to go see it before I meet JLo this weekend. We're going to be at the same hotel in Vegas, so we will naturally hang out, and how embarrassing would it be if I hadn't seen her latest movie?
Anyway, I expected it to be cute, but I didn't expect to like it so much that I may actually go see it again with my friends (personal challenge: how many times can I get the word "expect" in here). As should happen during any good movie, I laughed and I cried. Literally. I even forgot that I felt slightly uneasy about the hair-gelled man next to me who came by himself to a movie about pregnant women. Maybe his wife is pregnant and assigned him the book to read, but he just watched the movie instead. The teacher can always tell.
I almost peed my pants when Elizabeth Banks pees her pants and has to borrow a unicorn shirt from the weird fat roommate from "Bridesmaids" before giving a presentation. And I don't know if it was because of the abundance of hormones raging in the theater from so many women thinking about babies at the same time, but I broke out into a sweat trying to keep myself from sobbing like a loon at one part. I won't ruin anything by telling you which scene.
So here's the deal: Elizabeth Banks is on the brink of a mental break down the whole movie and she is having a baby with her dorky husband. In a "Father of the Bride" (Part deux) move, his dad, Dennis Quaid, is also having a baby with his bimbo 20-something-year-old wife (who is actually very likable).
Then there's Cameron Diaz who is having a baby with the guy from Glee. Jennifer Lopez is adopting with her hot foreign husband after getting approved by their adoption agent, Kim Fields from the "Facts of Life" (bonus cameo!). Wendy McLendon-Covey is also in it (that "Bridesmaids" cast likes to stick together), which I was happy about because she has gone up on my list since her mock Real Housewife tag line on "Watch What Happens Live" was "I make my own jewelry…and I wrote a single about it." An then there's the dad's club that they show on the commercial, which is fun times especially because Chris Rock's kid falls all the time.
Anna Kendrick from Twilight is also in it, and she gets knocked up by one of the guys from "Gossip Girl" because they both run food trucks – random. Side note: she sports the Calvin Klein purse that I just bought myself throughout the movie. I love when this happens because it makes me feel like I have good enough taste to style celebrities. Recently, a dress I own was on "Cougar Town," my decorative floral wall hook was on "How I Met Your Mother," and my Pier 1 jewelry boxes have been featured in a few movies and TV shows. This has nothing to do with the movie; I just want everyone to know how stylish I am.
In conclusion, go see "What to Expect When You're Expecting." It's a very funny and sweet movie that makes you feel good about life when you leave the theater – unlike "Friends with Kids," which almost made me want to end it all (exaggeration of course).
Personal challenge: I never used the word again after announcing my personal challenge….fail. Damn.

A few days back I was listening to Jazzuelle's set, recorded live at Kat La Kat's Strange Signals EP launch in Soweto a couple weeks back. The track selection was on point, and the mix well timed and executed. It's a mix of Deep, Soulful and airy House music dished out by the Capetonian with a neck for electronic and atmospheric sounds.
This week, 'Blood Moon' by Jazzuelle featuring Da Capo reminded me of that faithful day when both Producers/DJ's blessed the Rockerfella crowd with music for the soul. As expected, a collaboration between these two prolific producers is no short of classic material. The track is composed of runaway piano rolls, keys and atmospheric strings with a stringing pad and stunning baseline that drives the track steadfast.
The tune has a bridge section made to dazzle you with delight. It draws you in with a string orchestra and a Rhodes sprinkled with some cinematic elements and vibe percussion.
Taking a bit of a flashback, one would get the feeling that Jazzuelle and Da Capo have duck deep into their arsenal of electronic mastery to give us this lively song. With Jazzuelle's previous releases boasting similar cinematic elements fused with electronic. He has managed to carve a path for himself that's unique to him.
His take on combining Nu-Jazz, Electronic and Deep House elements has blessed House music sets with a catalog of dance floor fillers like 'Undercurrent' and 'Forget Me' featuring Lazarusman, while featured on a few DJ's top 10 lists and has garnered him respect amongst his peers as a DJ of note.
It's no wonder Get Physical saw it a must to sign this talent up so as to share his creative take on dance music. He sure still has a long way to go in this highly contested market and industry. But with such talent and prowess, I don't ever see Jazzuelle stopping anytime soon.
Get yourself a copy of Blood Moon or stream from your favorite service provider.

On one morning that was in no particular way different from other mornings, I sat at my desk in front of the window. I always thought it was important for a writer to have a good window. Maybe I thought inspiration would come with the breath of air, with the humming of trees, with the flutter of some creature's wings. I often just sat there and waited, hoping a brilliant idea would wrestle itself into my stubborn head, a sudden force would take over my mind that didn't want to come up with ideas anymore. I wouldn't even have to do anything apart from letting the unknown magic do its job.
On that ordinary morning, I found myself thinking back to my first year of university.
I remembered the professor who taught Introduction to Literature in the first semester. Some character she was. I couldn't describe her for you if I tried (and I wouldn't try because – remember – I was done creating).
When the eccentric woman burst into the classroom, she was like that obscure force, like that energy that moves things somewhere within you, teases your rusted imagination and makes it work again.
I could see in other students' faces that we all shared the impression that our new teacher had just landed from another planet. This wouldn't be your conventional class in literature.
I thought her accent and the way she spoke were odd. But she had that air about her, you know. When she did speak, you listened.
She had that spark in her eye when she talked. You knew she was putting her whole heart into it.
The thing I admired about her the most was her ability to make up a gripping story on the spot. She knew exactly how to pick up our interest and how to keep us nearly holding our breaths in anticipation of the finale.
One day she asked if any of us was writing novels.
I didn't raise my hand.
I did regret sometimes. I felt as if by not doing that I somehow let her down.
What is the point of this whole struggle if I don't have the guts to admit that I'm doing what I'm doing?
And so. Here comes the part where I admit.
I am a murderer. A criminal that thrives on her power to create things and destroy them when she gets bored. A poacher on a hunt for fragile ideas; by killing them making sure they never get the chance to elaborate.
The drawer to my left is full of blood. Buried there are dozens of stories that I used to call 'novels-in-process'. They never lived to see the light of day, extinguished by my egotistical and insecure self.
That one morning, in no way different from other mornings, my room suddenly stopped being an ordinary room. It became what it really is.
A crime scene. No one would believe the slaughter that takes place behind that door that belongs to that innocent girl, one who would always call for her mum when there was a fly in her room. The quiet girl who always sits in the back of the classroom and does nothing much but listen and observe.
That inconspicuous girl, who later brings what she's heard and what she's seen to life in the safety of her room, indulging in the torturous practice, allowing it to escalate… And then comes the final lethal cut.
I closed the window and pulled the curtains. I didn't want the world to look. Why would a writer need a window? To risk that someone would be a witness of this madness?
No, I don't write novels. I kill anything that holds the possibility of ever becoming something of value.
I should have raised my hand and pleaded guilty.
Would that make my literature professor proud? Would it get my name inscribed in gilt lettering?
Well, that escalated quickly. No idea where it came from. You'd better keep your stories and ideas safe, people. Can't trust anyone these days, especially not yourself.
Also, I thought I would include one of this week's Inspiration Monday prompts – Gilt and Regret in this piece, because (1) I miss contributing to the challenge, and (2) why not? It is awfully chaotic. But I seem to quite like chaos.

Sox, Ortiz settle at midpoint
February 13, 2012 Leave a comment
David Ortiz and the Sox avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year deal that will pay David $14.575 million for the 2012 season. Ortiz was the last open arbitration case for the Red Sox and a hearing was scheduled for later today. Ortiz will be a free agent again after this season. In 9 seasons as Red Sox GM Theo Epstein never went into an arbitration hearing. New GM Ben Cherington came close but avoided it with Ortiz in the final minutes leading up to the hearing. If the hearing were to have gone through then Ortiz would likely have been the highest paid arbitration case in MLB history.
Also of note today: Like Bobby Valentine, Adrian Gonzalez has arrived in Fort Myers. Also Ryan Westmoreland, who is trying to complete a long comeback after having brain surgery, has been working out at the club's facility in Fort Myers

Starting Monday, players can sign up to participate in the Fortnite Battle Royale closed-beta for iOS.
Epic Games has also revealed its plans to introduce cross-platform play for Fortnite and they are not alone as Xbox boss, Phil Spencer also wants Firtnite Cross-platform play.
Sony hasn't stated publicly why they won't enable this functionality but one thing is clear, it's hurting the overall gaming community and putting PS4 players at an unnecessary disadvantage. While the statements seem similar, there is actually a subtle hint that PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users can not play together.
Epic Games' Fortnite Battle Royale is undoubtedly one of the biggest multiplayer games of 2018, and it keeps getting bigger and bigger.
If you're an Android user who's feeling jealous, it should be too long until Fortnite Android support is available. One, you will need a strong internet connection. Furthermore, it would seem that Microsoft is additionally quick to get this going. What's more is that Epic Games urges fans not to give any of their account details to any third-party sites in search of "free" V-Bucks or in-game items. Android support will arrive sometime in the next few months. Fortnite is coming to good Android and iOS gadgets in 2018.
Fortnite, which has millions of players across PS4, Xbox One, PC and Mac, will soon be on mobile.
This means that whether you're on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or Mac, you will all be playing the same game on the same map as everyone else.
"Microsoft has always been a leading voice in encouraging the adoption of cross-platform play and the potential of connecting players across PC, mobile and all consoles", a Microsoft representative said told Kotaku. People from Microsoft themselves urged Sony to allow PlayStation 4 owners to play with Xbox One gamers.
Now the wait is for Sony to pull the trigger.
