NEW YORK (AP) — Inspiration can often come if you look up at the sky or the twinkling stars. For Jason Robert Brown, such a moment came when he was deep underground.
The songwriter was in the subway a dozen years ago on his way to a meeting at Lincoln Center with the fragment of an idea for his next project: It would be a song cycle about a husband and a wife in a troubled marriage.
But how would it work?
"As I was standing on that train platform, I thought, 'Oh, if she goes backward in time and he goes forward, then I always know what to write about because I'm always catching up,'" Brown recalls. "I'm not particularly mystical but it does feel sort of divinely imposed that I figured that all out on a subway platform."
The result was the 14-song show "The Last Five Years," and a lot of people think it is pretty divine. The show debuted in New York in 2002 and, despite a short run, has become a staple in regional theaters and colleges.
It follows the collapse of the five-year marriage between an aspiring novelist and a budding actress from both points of view. The husband starts by falling in love and his wife begins at the end of their relationship, their voices only intertwining in a few, bittersweet moments. It is a story about how the pressure of careers and ambition can crush young love.
The show is getting some new high-profile attention these days: Second Stage Theatre has revived "The Last Five Years" with Brown in the director's chair, and a movie version starts filming this summer with "Smash" star Jeremy Jordan and Anna Kendrick from "Up in the Air."
That means revisiting a piece that has plenty of autobiographical elements for Brown, whose first marriage ended in divorce. Now 42, remarried and with two young daughters, he has a different perspective.
"There are a lot of layers to the way I experience the show at this point," he says. "I look at it now and I don't blame either of them. I just think, 'Jesus Christ, this was impossible. What did you expect was going to happen?'"
Brown was coming off a bumpy Broadway ride when he came up with "The Last Five Years." He had just seen his show "Parade," the true-life tale of a 1915 Georgia lynching, hit Broadway. It would earn him a Tony but close after just 85 performances.
A two-person song cycle seemed a perfect antidote after such a big musical. "I wanted to do something that in case no one produced any of my shows anymore, which seemed like a possibility at the time, I could do it in my living room," he says.
He wrote from the outside in, meaning the first and last songs were completed before he started penning the middle. The show debuted in Chicago in 2001 and then arrived off-Broadway the next year. Brown's ex-wife asked for some material to be changed before the move.
"There are bits of her in both characters and bits of me certainly in both characters. But there's also a lot of people who I dragged into the mix as well," he says. "Emotionally, it is entirely autobiographical. Literally, only in pieces."
The original starred now-Broadway stalwarts Norbert Leo Butz and Sherie Rene Scott. The revival at Second Stage stars up-and-coming Betsy Wolfe and Adam Kantor. Brown sees a connection between the two casts.
"With Norbert and Sherie, it was very clear that they were both on the verge of these very big careers, and I think the exact same is true of Adam and Betsy," he says. "I felt like I caught them at the last possible second before they jettison into space."
Carole Rothman, the artistic director of Second Stage, ventured downtown to see the original show when it arrived in 2002 and was bewitched by its beautiful score.
"It's emotionally very gripping to me. It draws you in. It has a wide appeal," she says. "Jason this time was really looking for the emotion in it, even though he was more distant from it. He had a very clear vision of it and I think he accomplished it."
The original show's short life — the 9/11 attacks meant few people ventured downtown to see it — contributed to Brown's disillusionment with commercial theater and he left America for several years, only to see "The Last Five Years" grown in popularity.
"It kept itself alive, which was good because I got so burned out after it closed in New York that I stopped writing for a long time," he says. "Many years after I came back from the dead, I'm glad that the show was sort of there pulsing along underneath all that time."
Brown, whose other works include the short-lived Broadway musicals "Urban Cowboy" and "13," and another acclaimed song cycle "Songs for a New World," is enjoying a purple patch of late.
Besides the revival and film of "The Last Five Years," he's got two new musicals debuting this year: "Honeymoon in Vegas," an adaptation of the 1992 film written with Andrew Bergman that will premiere at New Jersey's Paper Mill Playhouse, and "The Bridges of Madison County," a musical he wrote with Marsha Norman that debuts at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts this summer.
Of "The Bridges of Madison County," he says: "It's a deeply romantic piece in the fullest sense of the word." Of the silly "Honeymoon in Vegas," he explains: "I wanted to write my version of an old-fashioned musical comedy. I wanted to write 'Guys and Dolls.'"
Though he hasn't had much luck on Broadway, Brown has come to terms with it. He's never been interested in writing big, glitzy musicals, preferring intense character-driven pieces. As long as he keeps getting produced, he says he's happy.
"I think there are times when you turn on the radio and there's some song that comes on that does not belong there but everyone sort of loves it," he says. "I'm hoping my work is just that: That I'm the weird thing that gets through and thrives in its own little way."

Vermont Alert Allows Vermonters to Stay Informed and Prepared.
Vermonters have a new tool at their disposal to stay informed of pending disasters, weather conditions, public health notifications, and countless other alerts that could affect themselves or their loved ones.
Vermont Alert (www.vtalert.gov) is a free service for users. It allows the public to sign up and receive notifications through a number of delivery systems, including text, e-mail, telephone, or even a game console. Vermont Alert is hosted and maintained by the Vermont Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (VT DEMHS) and is available to all emergency response agencies in the state in order to allow for localized alerts.
"We've seen over the past couple of years the value of speedy and accurate information as emergency situations develop," Gov. Peter Shumlin said. "This new system will give Vermonters a head start in preparing for storms or other hazardous conditions."
Users will create accounts, then chose their local area and what types of alerts they wish to receive, as well as which delivery system they prefer.
For example, you can receive weather advisories as they are issued from the National Weather Service. Local fire, police, and other local emergency responders will soon be able to issue alerts.
"We have worked long and hard to bring Vermont Alert to fruition," Vermont Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security Director Joe Flynn said. "This provides not only the state, but local responders with another tool to mitigate the effects of disasters on Vermont and its citizenry – at no direct cost to those local response organizations."
Vermont Alert is modeled after New York Alert, which has been in operation since 2006, and was designed by the state of New York. Vermont paid $58,000 for the system.
Local jurisdictions will receive training on the system throughout the coming months.
Sign up for an account today by visiting www.vtalert.gov.
For more information contact VT DEMHS Public Information Officer Mark Bosma at 800-347-0488.
Examples of use:
• There is a large structure fire in a downtown. The local fire department can write and distribute a press release through VT Alert. Can contact the public directly with an evacuation notice (phone, text, or e-mail), issue a travel alert for motorists to avoid the area, and alert the public of any public health hazards from smoke.
• A wildfire is burning. Nearby towns can issue evacuation orders and notify residents in the affected area directly (via phone, text, or e-mail). Press releases can be written on and distributed through Vermont Alert and the National Weather Service can issue an Air Quality warning if the fire warrants such a notification.
• An accident on Interstate-91 is blocking the road. The State Police can write and distribute a press release regarding the accident. The Agency of Transportation can issue a travel advisory and outline alternate routes. VTrans can then notify the public when the road has re-opened.
• A tropical storm is occurring in Vermont.
o In the state Emergency Operations Center VT DEMHS and partners can:
? Prepare and release Emergency Alert System messages.
? Prepare and distribute press releases and special notifications regarding conditions
? Post state road closures
? Post public health alerts
? Post locations of emergency shelters
? Automatically populate social media with information above
? The National Weather Service can issue storm Watches and Warnings
o Local communities can:
? Issue evacuation warnings
? Post local road closures
? Post public health alerts
• In the aftermath of a storm the state and federal government can post notifications about disaster aid to individuals and communities.

Phoenix police said a gunman shot three people at an office complex Wednesday morning and the shooter's whereabouts were unknown.
PHOENIX - Phoenix police are at a home connected to the scene of an office complex shooting.
Phoenix police Sgt. Steve Martos says police are talking to someone at the home who is not the suspect.
Martos says the home is connected to the shooting that wounded three people but won't say who lives there. A SWAT team has surrounded the house.
The home is more than 7 miles north of the shooting scene.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
Phoenix police said a gunman shot three people at an office complex Wednesday morning and the shooter's whereabouts were unknown.
Sgt. Tommy Thompson said police do not believe the shooting about 10:30 a.m. was a random act. He said one person was in extremely critical condition. Two others who were shot had less severe injuries, but all the injuries could be life-threatening, said Fire Capt. Scott McDonald.
Officer James Holmes said police so far believe there was only one shooter but don't know his whereabouts.
"We have no motive. It is right now a really fluid scene," Holmes said.
He said police were given conflicting information about the suspect leaving the scene. The building was evacuated and police are looking for a suspect or any additional victims.
Navika Sood, assistant director of nursing at First at Home Health Services, said she heard a handful of loud popping noises Wednesday morning. She said she and her co-workers locked the entrances to their office and gathered in one area away from the windows.
"Everyone was just scared, honestly, just scared," she said.
Sood said authorities evacuated the office about 30 minutes after she first heard the popping noises.
Vannessa Brogan, who works in sales support in an insurance business in the three-story complex, said she heard a loud bang that she thought at first was from somebody working in or near the building. She said others at the business thought they heard multiple loud noises. She said people locked themselves in offices until authorities evacuated the central Phoenix building that houses insurance, medical and law offices.
Becky Neher, who works for a title company in the building said the two gunshots she heard sounded like two pieces of metal banging against each other.
"We were doing our regular morning routine, and I hear what I guess were two gunshots," she said.
Watching from her second-story office, she saw people leaving the building, she was watching from her second story office.
"Someone yelled, `We have a shooter,'" she said. She saw two victims lying on the ground outside the back side of the building. She said there are medical people who have offices in the complex, so they came out to help.
Associated Press Writers Paul Davenport, Felicia Fonseca and Terry Tang contributed to this report.

Airmen can chat live via myPers for personnel support
Air Force Personnel officials have implemented a live chat capability on the myPers website to allow real-time communication between Airmen and personnel specialists.
Launched in 2012, myPers represents a shift from primarily face-to-face personnel interaction to a process that enables Airmen to handle their personnel transactions on demand and 24/7, from a military or personal computer using a common access card or login identification and password. In 2013, AFPC added the chat feature to ensure the tools available to Airmen keep pace with emerging commercial technologies.
MyPers provides direct online access to reliable, integrated, secure information and answers, enhancing an Airman's ability to monitor and manage personnel information, said 2nd Lt. Zachary Newman, the AFPC Transitions Branch support officer.
"The chat feature gives Airmen a fast and convenient way to get answers directly from subject matter experts on specific questions that may not be available on the website," he said.
The chat feature comes up automatically when members search for key topics like retirement, separation or retraining. Force management is not a topic that generates a chat but Airmen can ask about related questions during a retirements or separations chat. For example a service member applying for retirement or separation will be able to chat with a customer service representative about their application or ask a specific question on force management and get a real time response through chat or be directed to the proper reference by the customer service representative.
Following the session, the Total Force Service Center, or TFSC, emails a chat transcript to the member for his or her records. Records of a member's previous chats are also available on the myPers website. Chat hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. CST.
While myPers information is constantly refreshed to ensure Airmen have the most up to date information at their fingertips, the chat feature is a true example of a just-in-time to help Airmen through the current heightened force management activity, Newman said.
" We want to ensure Airmen always know where they can find the most current information," he said. "This is especially important in this climate of transformation.
We do everything possible to ease the stress that is inherent whenever major policy changes occur. MyPers offers answers to questions covering a vast array of Air Force personnel issues, such as separations, base-of-preference, and the latest news on the upcoming force management programs."
The site recognizes users as officers, enlisted, civilians, reserveists or guardsmen, and provides customized access to personnel information and links to the most commonly used applications. Airmen can also find information on processing requests and timelines on the site.
"The myPers website should be the first stop for Airmen seeking access to personnel information services," Newman said. "However, if they find they need further assistance they can call the (TFSC) to speak to a customer service representative. The TFSC centralizes processes and access for most military and civilian personnel services and center phone staff can answer whatever questions an Airman might have on personnel topics."
To contact the TFSC, call 210-565-0102, DSN 665-0102 or toll free at 800-525-0102. Airmen can also select the contact us link to email questions to the TFSC.
"We are constantly seeking new ways to better serve our Airmen," Newman said. "The myPers website with its multitude of topics and information gives Airmen efficient and timely tools to access and manage their personnel information anytime and anywhere they might be."
For more information about general personnel issues or the latest force management news, visit myPers.

Baumann's Home Run Propels Canaries To Series Win
KANSAS CITY, KS -- Nate Baumann's only hit on Friday night was the biggest of the game for the Sioux Falls Canaries.
The Canaries' second-year pro from Augustana College led off the ninth inning with a home run, breaking a 4-4 tie against the Kansas City T-Bones and sending the Birds to a 6-4 victory at Community America Ballpark. The Canaries (17-30) took three of four games from the T-Bones and won a four-game series for the first time this season. They have four victories in their last five games.
Baumann's home run also gave the Canaries their first win of the year in their final at-bat. He homered twice in the series and has six round-trippers this season.
Nick Van Stratten singled home a run later in the ninth inning for an insurance run, capping four unanswered runs by the Canaries. Trailing 4-2 in the seventh inning, Stephen King scored on Van Stratten's squeeze bunt. Cory Morales then tied the game with a two-out single to right field, plating Kevin Dultz. The game featured three different ties of 1-1, 2-2 and 4-4 after remaining scoreless through three innings.
Canaries reliever Matt Daly (1-0) notched his first win of the year by pitching two scoreless innings in relief of starter Kyle Ruwe. After yielding a leadoff infield single in the seventh inning with the game tied, he induced a key double play and strikeout. In the eighth, a potential go-ahead run reached third, but Daly struck out the side.
Alan DeRatt tossed a perfect ninth inning for his ninth save. He has converted all nine save opportunities this season.
Morales and Van Stratten each had two hits and two RBI to lead the Birds' attack, which produced just seven hits. But the Canaries played a lot of small ball with three sacrifice hits, two stolen bases and two run-scoring groundouts.
Chad Robinson (0-2) suffered the loss in relief for Kansas City, whose record dropped to 17-30. A strong start by newcomer Connor Graham went spoiled. He yielded four runs, three earned, in 6 1/3 innings.
Ruwe took a no-decision for the first time in 10 starts. He battled through six innings, allowing four runs and eight hits in six innings.
The Canaries open a four-game series against the Lincoln Saltdogs beginning at 7:05 p.m. on Saturday at Sioux Falls Stadium.

Paul Rudd is looking pensive in the first photo from "Ant-Man," Marvel's upcoming superhero adventure due for release next year.
Production on "Ant-Man" kicked off this week in San Francisco, with Rudd starring as reformed thief Scott Lang, the second superhero to take the name Ant-Man.
In the film, Lang must help his mentor Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) protect the secret behind his Ant-Man suit, which enables its wearer to shrink in size while enjoying increased strength.
The movie, which will also shoot in Georgia, features Evangeline Lilly as Pym's daughter Hope Van Dyne, while actor Corey Stoll will play Darren Cross, a former ally of Pym's who becomes the villain known as the Yellowjacket.
A shadow of uncertainty fell over the film earlier this year when original "Ant-Man" director Edgar Wright abruptly departed the project he'd steered toward the screen for years. In a statement, Marvel and Wright insisted the split was amicable and related to creative differences.
Peyton Reed, whose previous credits include "Bring It On" and "The Break-Up," was then hired to helm Marvel's upcoming superhero release.
The film's cast also includes Bobby Cannavale, Michael Pena, Abby Ryder Forston, Judy Greer, David Dastmalchian, Wood Harris, John Slattery, Gregg Turkington and T.I.
Although the movie had not yet begun filming, Marvel and Reed screened a short bit of footage last month at San Diego's Comic-Con International featuring Douglas speaking in voiceover, helping guide Rudd's Scott through a tricky escape.
While it seems unlikely that diminutive hero will appear in Marvel's other 2015 release, Joss Whedon's "Avengers: Age of Ultron," there is a comic book connection — in the comics, Pym is the creator of Ultron, an automaton that becomes a supervillain.
"Ant-Man" is set for release July 17, 2015.

ASUS Triton 78 Review
In the world of overclocking, you can never stop thinking about upgrading your system, whether it's a major upgrade or just a cooling device upgrade that will allow you to clock your processor higher. Well, many people who are just getting into the overclocking scene - and some of the seasoned professionals - are always looking at the new coolers to see if there is something out there that is better than what they currently have. With the release of the ASUS Triton 78, you may once again find yourself wanting to get a new cooler to chill your overclocked processor. Maybe you just have a processor that is running at stock settings and speeds, but the stock cooler from Intel is yielding quite warm temperatures that you are not happy with. Whatever your situation and reason to upgrade, you may want to consider the new ASUS Triton 78 CPU Cooler.
Closer Look:
The first thing that everyone is going to be looking at is the packaging for the ASUS Triton 78, which seems to have the standard Triton series theme; it is black on all four sides, with similar information on all sides arranged in a very similar fashion. The front of the packaging shows a nice vivid picture of the cooler all by itself atop a digital artwork background that is a greenish-yellow color. The front is also very simple, the only words on it are the ASUS logo with the slogan "Rock Solid * Heart Touching" underneath. The bottom of the package is where you are going to find the name of the cooler, Triton 78, and under that it says that it has a 120mm fan designed for extreme cooling. This makes you believe that this product is going to be the best at cooling your processor. When you flip the package to the back, you are going to see the specifications chart, showing you all of the commonly displayed information about the cooler - including the size and weight, as well as fan information. There is another side with a white and gray chart showing the main features of the cooler in a few different languages. The last side is where you are going to find a few more features displayed above a picture of the cooler installed on a motherboard, with arrows showing you the way the air will flow through the cooler. Well, let's get inside this box and see what the cooler looks like and what comes with it.
When you open up the package, you are going to find that ASUS has placed the Triton 78 in a molded plastic protector to keep the heatsink from being damaged during the shipping process. Inside of the packaging, there is a nice little user manual that will help you install the mounting hardware, and help you install the heatsink in your system, if the help is needed. There is a black cardboard box that is included in the packaging; this where all of the Triton 78's accessories are located, which include the two mounting brackets for the LGA 775 mounting, the AMD style mounting hardware, a tube of ASUS thermal paste, and four screws for mounting the Intel brackets.
Now that we know exactly what the ASUS Triton 78 looks like and what comes with it, let's take a look to see how the heatsink is constructed.

Whitehouse Station, N.J.-based Merck & Co. announced today that its experimental Gardasil vaccine completely prevented early-stage cervical cancer and precancerous cervical lesions caused by the two most common forms of human papillomavirus (HPV).
Gardasil targets HPV types 16 and 18, which are responsible for about 70 percent of cervical cancer cases. Merck said such cancers take the lives of about 300,000 women worldwide annually, including nearly 4,000 in the United States. The favorable findings were seen in Merck-sponsored Phase III trials of the vaccine.
The study, led by Laura Koutsky, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Washington, involved more than 12,000 women ages 16-26 from 13 countries who were not infected with either type 16 or 18 when the trial began. Over a six-month period, half the women received three doses of Gardasil, while the control group received placebos. Study follow-up was an average 17 months.
While Gardasil gave the women "a high level of protection" against types 16 and 18, Koutsky said she hoped the vaccine would eventually be improved to protect against up to six more types of HPV that cause cervical cancer. "In that case, you could be blocking viruses that cause 87 percent of cervical cancer cases, instead of 70 percent," she said.
Merck plans to seek Food and Drug Administration approval for Gardasil, which also protects against two other types of HPV responsible for genital warts, later this year. In Europe, Merck is partnering its vaccine with Sanofi-Aventis.

RIO DE JANEIRO — Two foreign tourists were held for hours, brutalized and one of them sexually assaulted aboard a public transport van they boarded in Rio de Janeiro's showcase Copacabana beach neighborhood, police said in a statement.
Two men aged 20 and 22 have been taken into custody and a third is being sought in connection with the incident, which saw the two foreigners held for around six hours starting shortly after midnight on Saturday, police said.
The statement said the suspects forced other passengers to get out of the van and then sexually assaulted the female tourist inside the vehicle, which was one of a fleet of vans that serve bus routes and seat about a dozen people.
During the alleged assault, the tourists were driven to the poor suburban neighborhood of Sao Goncalo, where the two suspects were apprehended, the statement said.
The victims' nationalities have not been released, but local media reports have said the woman is American. Reports said the two had been studying Portuguese in Rio for about a month and that both left the country following the incident.
The statement said one of the victims' cellphone was found in the suspects' possession. The suspects had also used a debit card belonging to one of the victims at two gas stations, the statement said.
The Globo television network broadcast surveillance camera images of two men filling up the white van and showed police images of a metal bar the suspects are thought to have used to beat and intimidate the victims.
The victims positively identified the two suspects, and a Brazilian woman has said she'd also been assaulted by the pair on March 23, the statement said.
In an interview with Globo television, commanding officer Alexandre Braga, who heads the Rio police unit specializing in crimes against tourists, said the suspects had gone on a sex crime spree.
"The characteristics of both crimes, both the Brazilian case and the one with the foreigners, lead us to believe that they [the suspects] wanted to have a 'party of evil,' in quotes," Braga said. "The principal motive appears to have been the satisfaction of their lust."
He added that the robbery and other crimes appear to have been "secondary."
Multiple calls to police seeking further detail Monday have not been returned.
The incident raises new questions about security in Rio, which has cracked down on once-endemic drug violence in preparation for hosting next year's soccer World Cup and the 2016 summer Olympic games.
The city will also be playing host to World Youth Day, a Roman Catholic pilgrimage expected to draw some 2 million people in late July.
The attack also drew comparisons with the fatal December beating and gang rape of a young woman on a New Delhi bus. Six men beset a 23-year-old university student and male friend after they boarded a private bus, touching off a wave of protests across India demanding stronger protection for women.
In Brazil, more than 5,300 cases of sexual assault were reported between January and June 2012, according to the country's Health Ministry.

With Apple's stock hobbling and questions lingering about its ability to innovate in the post-Steve Jobs era, investors and fans are latching on to hopes that the tech giant's next big thing will be the iWatch.
With Apple's stock hobbling and questions lingering about its ability to innovate in the post-Steve Jobs era, investors and fans are latching on to hopes that the tech giant's next big thing will be the iWatch.
While little is known of the mythical gadget that has recently become the hottest topic of Silicon Valley's rumor mill, boosters envision a device that would let users read emails, Facebook notifications or caller ID by simply glancing down at their wrists.
The smart watch, connected wirelessly to the iPhone, would tap the power of the voice assistant Siri to control music, dictate messages or get directions. Forget the wallet? Just swipe the watch near a scanner to make a payment. And as you jog home later, the kinetic energy of your movement would keep the battery charged while the watch measures your heart rate and the distance covered.
"It would transform the whole smartphone business and the whole watch business at the same time," said Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst for consumer research firm NPD Group. "And for the better."
It would do all this and more. If it exists.
For despite all the speculation about Apple's plans, nobody really knows what features it might include, and when Apple might release it.
And yet, this being Apple, such a watch, imagined or real, already faces monstrously high expectations. For Apple, there's a big risk that releasing a watch that fails to dazzle, or that falls short of the iFantasyWatch people have in their heads, could hurt its reputation for innovation and raise fresh questions about the company's ability to develop products without its late co-founder Jobs.
Veterans of the smart-watch game caution that current technology severely limits the features such a watch could offer, not to mention the difficulty of getting a complex mix of specs just right.
"Apple brings a lot of cachet to the conversation, but success in this category will be about cool design as much as technology," said Bill Geiser, chief executive of Meta Watch, who has been working on smart watches for more than a decade. "You have a very small space for the device that is largely constrained. The design of any smart watch is driven by anatomy, and it's driven by fashion and it's driven by battery life."
There is no question that Apple is looking seriously at wearable computing, and most likely something for the wrist. In recent weeks, several news outlets, including Bloomberg, have cited sources indicating that such a product is on its way. The financial news agency reported that at least 100 employees are working on a watch.
As is typical, Apple has declined to discuss any plans for future products. In the past decade, the company has filed applications and received numerous patents for technologies related to watch-like devices, including at least 79 that mention the word "wrist," according to Bloomberg.
In late February, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office revealed a patent application from Apple for a wearable computer in the form of a flexible bracelet that wraps around the wrist. According to the filing, that gadget would include a multi-touch display that would enable the user to "accomplish a number of different tasks including adjusting the order of a current playlist, or reviewing a list of recent phone calls. A response to a current text message can even be managed given a simple virtual keyboard configuration across the face of the flexible display."
Another patent, filed by Apple in 2009 and awarded in February, describes a "personal items network, and associated methods." The patent outlines what Apple calls "movement" or "event monitoring devices" (MMD or EMD) that include sensors and transmitters and an accelerometer to record things like heart rate, pulse, stress, outside temperature or other environmental conditions. The patent includes a drawing of one such device taped to a person's wrist.
Putting this all together, an Apple smart watch could combine some aspects of a phone but also health monitoring devices such as Nike Inc.'s FuelBand. And there are plenty of folks who are convinced that such a device represents a massive opportunity not just for Apple, but also for numerous competitors.
"The combination of technologies naturally opens up the opportunity for a body area network to become a reality," said Geiser, whose firm sells watches that work with both Apple and Android phones. "And the wrist is beachfront property."
Apple already has gotten a glimpse of just how eager some people are for the company to make a watch. In 2010, the company released the sixth generation of its iPod Nano that shrank the device from a long rectangle to a small square that was almost all screen. People immediately made wristbands to strap Nanos to their wrists.
Scott Wilson, a designer who lives in Chicago, had been working on smart watches for years. When he saw the new iPod Nano, he thought "watch" and designed some straps for it and sold them through a company he started called LunaTik.
"When they showed the size, and it was so small, it was interesting because all the smart watches to date had been too big and clunky to make it a mass market," Wilson said. "With the Nano, it was like, 'Wow, look what they packed into this tiny package.' "
Last year, Apple released the seventh-generation Nano, which returned to a rectangular shape, undercutting its usefulness as an improvised watch. Wilson isn't sure whether Apple wanted to stop a budding watch business it wasn't ready to serve. But he said he continues to talk to friends at Apple who say a watch is coming _ eventually.
"It's not a question of if Apple will do a smart watch," Wilson said. "It's when. Apple is good at not being first. They wait until technology doesn't compromise their vision."
That was the case with tablet computing. Analysts have noted that the company was looking at tablets as far back as 2004. But under Jobs, Apple decided to put them aside, believing the cost and power of the components were not right, wireless networks were not robust enough and consumers might not be ready for touch-screen computing.
That patience paid off when the company finally unveiled the iPad in 2010, not just the right product, but also at the right time.
Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook, in recent remarks at a shareholders meeting, seems to be indicating that Apple is still focused on making a product great, not just on getting something out the door to please investors.
"At Apple, it's important to us that we make products that customers not just like, but love," Cook said.
Because of the size and technological limits, Apple would have to make a number of difficult decisions about trade-offs.
For instance, smart watch designers believe people want their watches to always be on for convenience. But that drains the battery faster. And because watches are also a personal fashion statement, Apple would have to decide whether to stick to its typical approach of offering a limited number of choices (a black or white watch?) or offer unlimited ways to customize the look.
For all the geeky goodness that could be packed into a watch, Apple would also have to thoroughly understand what draws people to any kind of watch.
Contrary to what you may have heard, smartphones are not killing the watch business. In fact, although the traditional watch industry has taken a licking in the last decade, it has done more than just tick.
According to NPD, sales of "fashion and sports watches" (watches under $350) grew to $1.9 billion for women and to $2.8 billion for men last year _ up 18 percent and 12 percent, respectively, compared with 2011.
Cohen of NPD says this resurgence has taken hold in large part because younger consumers like the analog look and feel, not because of new features. As an ongoing experiment, Cohen says, he likes to approach teenagers wearing a watch and ask them what time it is. They almost always pull a phone out of their pocket to check, he says.
"The watch business is doing well because the younger generation is buying them as a fashion item," he said.
Even assuming Apple nails this form factor, it remains unclear how many people really want such a gadget that, at least for now, would be an accessory to a phone, rather than a replacement.
In a recent note to investors, Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty estimated that if Apple could eventually sell 50 million watches annually, that could generate $10 billion to $15 billion in new revenue, a nice bump for a company that reported $156.5 billion in revenue last year. What's more, Huberty is convinced that the profit margin on such watches could be higher on a percentage basis than another long-rumored Apple product, a television set.
But Cohen says it might be a stretch to believe that Apple (or anyone) is going to create a mass market for a watch that merely is an extension of the user's phone. The key to making a must-have gadget is creating something that feels indispensable. In the case of smart watches, that something might have to be a device that doesn't just extend a phone but replaces it.
"If you left your home, and you left your smartphone and had to drive 20 minutes, would you go back and get it? Yes," Cohen said. "If you forgot your belt, or you forgot your watch? No. If I created a product that made you as passionate about your watch as you are about your smartphone, that gives you information that gets you through your day, that's when you know you've a made a mass market. The latter is a game changer. The former is an accessory."

I've never worn them, but it doesn't bother me if guys do. People can wear whatever they want. Heck, girls often wear clothes designed to show off their bodies. I see no reason guys can't. Or maybe, they just find them comfortable or think they look good. In the end, at least they are expressing themselves.
The Ice Queen cometh
I dislike them on men.
But my bf sometimes wears some. whatever makes him happy.
But not a fan ^^;
'When you find something worth fighting for, you never give up'
they are okay, when ever i ask guys about it they always tell me its like a midget holding up your nuts when they wear skinny jeans
reboot, reload, restart shoot for the stars
I wear them and people are against them for ignorant reasons. Many of the posts in this thread should be removed in fear of making the poster look like a kid. They are tight, hence the name, but they are actually quite comfortable unless you go into your sisters room and grab her pants. You can walk fine in them and theres plenty of room for whatever you have in your pants. I can understand not wanting to wear certain things but don't be a douche towards people who wear them =/ its past the point of being old.
If God existed B Gata H Kei S2 would be in the works.
I don't have a problem with them on men. I think people should be able to wear whatever they like and feel comfortable in without getting ridiculed. That's just me though.
there are various types of ''skinny'' jeans, but the only acceptable ones are jeans that are slightly, emphasis on slightly, tight above the knees, but not to the point it will be labeled ball huggers that's why emphasis on slightly is needed, and loose at the knees and below.
your welcome.

I need friends omg
I think some guys can pull it off and others can't.
So many animes are ending... I'm sobbing here
Let me start off by saying that where I'm originally from, skinny jeans are a fashion trend. The majority of the people in their teens up to mid-thirties wear them. However, I'm not a fan of skinny or skinniest jeans. I wear slim jeans, which is the closest thing to skinny jeans I'll ever wear. Skinny jeans look and feel way too tight! But that is depending on the person's body build. Also, here in the United States I haven't seen that many guys wearing them. Overall, I think they look good on some people, and it's all good as long as they don't squeeze too much their pelvic area.
!! ↖(^▽^)↗
just plain gay!
Need I say more...
Square Biz :)
we can't all just get along
Back when I was in middle school I would wear baggy jeans, but once I started getting into 80's heavy metal I started to wear Levis505's and get a chick from school to talyor them; so they can be form fitting. This was before the whole electronic scene became popular, so occasionally I would get some insipid comments about the jeans from other kids while riding the city bus to and from school. Then fast-forward a couple years later, it sudden became cool to wear tight colorful jeans. lol Not only are tight jeans more comfortable for me (I like my balls to be supported not just hanging around) but as a motorcyclist lose fitting pants can get caught on any of the moving parts on the bike.
We live in a time of personal freedom... people can dress however they like.
I'm not into following others ideals. I feel people should be able to dress however they want.
I like to dress differently from everyone else.
I find normal jeans boring.
The way I hold you and the night just seems to fly
People can wear what they want, but on a personal note, i dont like guys in skinny jeans.
we'll sneak out when they sleep and sail off in the night

Prepare Your Arteries for Wendy's Nine-Patty 'T-Rex' Burger [PHOTO]
What you are about to read is true, and truly amazing if you ask me.
It's my pleasure to introduce to you Wendy's nine-patty "T-Rex" burger. First introduced in an ad in Sports Illustrated as a joke, this gargantuan stack of beef is now on the menu at one Wendy's restaurant in Brandon, located in Canada's Monitoba province.
After the burger was featured in the magazine about nine years ago, customers actually started ordering it, so the Wendy's in Brandon decided to give their customers what they want. The "T-Rex" burger will set you back $21.99, or if nine juicy slabs of meat is just not enough for you, you can order the combo meal for $24.99. Hope that comes with a brontosaurus sized beverage to wash this monster down. But don't get too excited about clogging all your arteries in one sitting, this mammoth meat stack is only available at the Brandon location in Canada.
Now your mission, should you choose to accept it - and you should, is to start requesting this burger at EVERY Wendy's you visit from now on. Then they will have no choice but to put it on the menu worldwide!
Now that I think about it, calling it the "T-Rex" burger is kind of ironic. Just imagine a T-Rex trying to hold onto this thing with his tiny little hands and arms. Oh the injustice!

Incoming freshman Gabrielle Szczerbiak isn't getting the traditional college housing experience she expected. She will have a roommate, and there are rules — no boys in the bedrooms and a curfew.
The rules aren't being imposed by any college dorm — they're actually the wishes of the married couple who are taking in the 18-year-old music major after she got stalled on a rural Utah university's housing waitlist.
This fall, an enrollment boom that created a housing crisis has prompted Southern Utah University in Cedar City to urge neighbors and employees alike to house the dormless. Many have done so, creating an unusual if not quirky housing situation.
It's not uncommon...

Among many issues concerning reforms in national health care currently being implemented, one issue is represented by conservatives as involving religious freedom. Their central argument is that religious institutions and business owners should not be required to provide health-care plans which provide services that conflict with their own religious beliefs.
For example, such plans could provide contraceptives for women, which the Roman Catholic Church opposes, or abortions, which many conservatives oppose. But is this really an issue of religious freedom? Amendment I to our United States Constitution shows that this is a form of religious tyranny instead. Here is the salient portion of that amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;...
With its first 10 words, Amendment I clearly specifies that government must not establish, promote or endorse any specific religion or compel public adherence to any religion. How does this principle apply to health-care plans provided by business owners and religious institutions?
When such health-care providers deny particular medical services based on their own religious objections, they compel every subscriber to their health plans to adhere to the providers religious exceptions, regardless of whether that subscriber is or is not an adherent to each providers own religion. If government were to allow such forced adherence to any specific religiously-based exceptions, it would be endorsing and compelling adherence to specific religions. That is the very definition of religious tyranny.
Allowing such religiously-based exceptions would create chaos in our national health-care system. In piecemeal fashion, plan-by-plan, women could be denied such fundamental services as contraception and such constitutionally-protected rights as reproductive freedom of choice. Their search for adequate health care would become extremely difficult.
Such government-approved religious exceptions could create extreme situations as follows. Some religious denominations reject medical science entirely and embrace nothing more than faith healing. They do no more than pray for miraculous divine intervention to heal the sick, even for common, curable afflictions like appendicitis. Should business owners who believe only in faith healing be allowed to deny medical care to their non-believing employees? Our government intervenes to compel medical care for children in such situations.
Unscrupulous business owners even could invent their own religious exceptions to weasel out of requirements to provide health plans for their employees. The resulting litigation would create even more chaos in our national health-care system and burden courts at many levels with cases lasting for years. Thus, such religious exceptions never can be allowed in our national health-care system.
The next six words of Amendment I still protect religious institutions and business owners in their personal health-care choices. They never have to subject themselves personally to medical services offered by their health-care plans to which they object on religious grounds, nor do any followers of their particular religions. Thus, their personal religious freedom remains completely intact.
But such institutions and business owners have no right to impose their religiously-based exceptions on non-believers. Such impositions embody the very essence of religious tyranny, not religious freedom. Amendment I clearly shows why.

Shaun White rebounded from a crash Thursday to qualify for the U.S. Olympic team in slopestyle snowboarding by winning the fourth of five selection events.
White, the two-time reigning Olympic halfpipe champion, won with a score of 95.20 points in the second of two finals held Thursday at Mammoth Mountain.
He'll be joined by another Lake Tahoe-based snowboarder: Jamie Anderson, who won the women's event in the morning.
Mammoth is holding an extra qualifier this weekend after a storm forced the cancellation of the third qualifier last week at Breckenridge, Colo.
White crashed in the first of two events when falling face first while trying a double flip on the second big jump of the course. He finished last among the 13 competitors, then came back and won the second event with just one run.
"I haven't taken a hit like that in a long time," he said. "I got some food and some medicine and came back and just knew that was all I had in me."
White is hoping to defend his halfpipe title while winning in the new slopestyle event. First he has to qualify with two halfpipe finals scheduled Friday.
Chas Guldemond of Lake Tahoe was third in slopestyle and moved to the top of Olympic selection standings with his first top-four result.
Anderson, 23, joined Sierra-at-Tahoe buddy Maddie Bowman on the U.S. Olympic team. Bowman qualified in freeskiing halfpipe last week. Both are considered gold-medal favorites in their respective events.
But the Americans are battling for a third sled in the four-man competition Sunday. Butner and Cunningham are ranked 16th and 17th, respectively.

Death Penalty Sought in Colorado Shooting Trial
CENTENNIAL, Colo.—Prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty for James Holmes, the graduate student accused of killing 12 and injuring scores at a crowded movie theater last July, in a decision that will likely lead to a protracted trial.
"For James Eagan Holmes, justice is death," George Brauchler, district attorney for Arapahoe County, said at a court hearing Monday.
The decision immediately prompted a delay in the trial, which had been set for August but is now scheduled to start next year. Prosecutors acknowledged in court Monday that a death-penalty case involves extra time for such matters as questioning potential jurors about their positions on capital punishment.
Mr. Holmes's defense team said it would need months to prepare. "They are trying to execute our client," Tamara Brady, one of his public defenders, said in court. "We will do what we need to do to defend his life."

Judge William Sylvester, who had been hearing the case since the shootings in Aurora, Colo., entered a not-guilty plea on behalf of Mr. Holmes, whose lawyers have said they are considering mounting an insanity defense.
Judge Sylvester said Monday that his duties as a chief district judge made it difficult for him to continue presiding now that "a final resolution of this case is now likely years away."
He appointed Judge Carlos Samour, who took over immediately. Judge Samour set a Feb. 3 trial date but acknowledged the defense may ask for that date to be pushed back. He said the trial could take at least four months.
For Mr. Holmes to be sentenced to death, prosecutors would need to persuade jurors of his guilt, and then in separate proceedings, convince the same jury that aggravating circumstances—such as multiple victims—justify a death sentence. The defense can raise mitigating factors, such as his mental state, to try to persuade jurors to impose a sentence of life in prison instead.
In January, Dan Zook, a retired prosecutor from Colorado's El Paso County with experience in capital cases, was appointed to lead the state's case.
The decision to seek the death penalty came less than a week after a Colorado House committee narrowly voted to shelve a bill that would have abolished capital punishment in the state. The vote followed statements made by Gov. John Hickenlooper that indicated unease with the bill.
Within the last year, legislatures in two states—Connecticut and Maryland—have voted to abolish their death penalties.
Execution in Colorado is by lethal injection and hasn't been carried out since 1997, when Gary Davis was executed for raping and murdering a woman in 1986. That execution was the first in Colorado in 30 years.
Protracted posttrial appeals and motions often result in lengthy delays between conviction and execution, said legal experts. Opponents of the death penalty in Colorado point to such delays as a reason to not seek it in the Holmes case, saying victims wouldn't get the solace they seek.
"It's emotionally more difficult for the victims than it would be had the state sought life," said Dan Schoen, a death-penalty opponent and executive director of the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar. "It's an open wound that will fester for 20 years."
Capital-punishment supporters, on the other hand, said the Holmes case was well-suited for the death penalty. "If not now, when?" asked Craig Silverman, a former chief deputy district attorney in Denver who is now in private practice. "A decision by prosecutors not to seek the death penalty in this case would have been the functional equivalent of abolishing it entirely."
Prosecutors have said that Mr. Holmes, who had dropped out of a graduate program in neuroscience shortly before the shooting, engaged in elaborate preparations, including buying weaponry and body armor and booby-trapping his apartment.
Mr. Holmes was in court Monday, as were his parents. They showed little reaction to the district attorney's announcement, but some victims of the shooting and their families began crying.
Marcus Weaver, who was shot and injured in the theater, said he believed life in prison was the proper sentence. Mr. Weaver called on Mr. Holmes to plead guilty even if that would mean his execution.
"Mr. Holmes, if you're listening to a victim, if you'd just plead guilty, we could all move forward," Mr. Weaver told reporters outside the court. "Your penalty has been decided. Just accept it, and be a man."

I learned a few things during this year's Super Bowl.
1) It's really hard to dress for a Super Bowl party when both teams have the same colors. And,
2) I learned what it's like to be a girl watching her boyfriend get beaten up, as I watched Tom Brady get repeatedly sacked in the final minutes.
At least the ads gave me some chuckles. So I'm here to recount those chuckles now to you.
Best of the Best
Everyone has their favorites. I'm no exception. This year I was pleasantly surprised to find myself guffawing in a very unattractive manner at the Doritos "Sling Baby" ad. The combination of mean kid getting his comeuppance, mild baby abuse, and old lady vengeance just works for me. Doritos' Crash the Super Bowl contest has evolved from amateur night to some of the most impressive and memorable ads of the game.
My other favorite this year is Skechers' Mr. Quiggly. I want Mr. Quiggly to go jogging with me every day, and I long for that British announcer to narrate the entire jog in play-by-play fashion, preferably saying "Mr. Quiggly" many, many times. This would make my mornings spectacular. If there's any way someone out there can arrange that, I'd appreciate it.
Movie Trailers for Bad Movies
I'm not saying these movies will be bad. I'm just saying they almost certainly will be.
Every year during the Super Bowl, we get treated to movie trailers for the year's biggest flops. Sahara, anyone? This year I'm calling out Battleship (because that's easy and I don't like to be wrong), and I'm gonna go ahead and throw that GI Joe movie out there, as well. The commercials for these movies were seen by 90 million people, but it's a guarantee I won't know a single person who goes to see the actual films.
Bud Light Switches It Up.
I have never been a fan of Bud Light's cartoonish, kindergarten-colored ads featuring youngsters drinking beer in someone's backyard. This year I was both flattered and taken aback when Bud Light began advertising directly to me. In "Work," soft blue lighting and the sophisticated beats of Avicii set the background for a well-dressed group of young professionals gathering in a modern steel and glass building, drinking Bud Light Platinum. It provides wild contrast from last year's "Drinkablility" campaign, which basically asked me to funnel Bud Light because it's "easy to drink." Since I'm terrible, I plan to continue drinking snooty microbrews no one has heard of. But well played, Bud. Well played.
Some Bizareness
You'd have to ask me a whole lot of times before I would be able to come up with a good reason why the NFL should have to air a commercial for itself during the Super Bowl. That being said, however, "Timeline" wasn't all that bad.
Cars.com has always had very strange ads, and I've disliked them year after year. But this year, I'm finally on board. In "Confident You," the guy with the confident, bobbing singing second head makes me smile every time I re-watch it.
Celebrity Appearances, the Pointless and the Sublime
Sometimes a celebrity is the focal point of a Super Bowl ad—that pretty person who moves the story along, entertaining you while extolling the virtues of the product you suddenly feel the urge to buy. Acura's Seinfeld-heavy NSX commercial and Matthew Broderick's Honda CRV spot are examples of the celebrity appearance done properly. The best celebrity appearance this year was Mean Joe Greene in Downy's Unstoppables commercial, reprising his role from the classic Coke Ad.
There are times, too, when the celebrity is the product, like the David Beckham underwear ad, or John Stamos' iffy yogurt ad. (He's John Stamos, and he's Greek, which I suppose is the point. But what is the point exactly? I choose the meaning to be, If You Eat This Yogurt, John Stamos Appears In Your Kitchen And You Get To Punch Him.)
Then there's the true emerging trend of 2012: Celebrities appearing in weird places for five seconds. Last year Audi gave us a chuckle with about eight seconds of Kenny G. This year, many more hopped on the "commercial cameo" bandwagon. Regis Philbin shows up for 2.5 unmemorable seconds in this Pepsi Max ad. In "King's Court", Pepsi also tossed in three seconds of Flavor Flav. Motley Crue made an instantly forgettable appearance in Kia's "Dream" commercial. (Mötley Crüe had an excuse at least, as they appeared next to Adriana Lima in a bikini.) Even poor little Mr. Quiggly scampered onto the bandwagon, throwing in 1.5 seconds of Mark Cuban for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
Samsung definitely pulled off a head scratcher with their celebrity appearance, tossing in English band The Darkness, performing their one hit single that is now a decade old. Bizarre, but certainly memorable.
For Pepsi, Elton John reprised the role he has always had in my nightmares, as Evil Hipster King with Plastic Sunglasses.
Finally, of course, there was Betty White. I've never considered network promos to be real Super Bowl ads. (They're normally just regular promos and I'm used to ignoring them.) But NBC scored with their promo for The Voice by bringing Betty back. Betty's Snickers ad was the talk of the 2010 Super Bowl, and she was sorely missed last year. Kudos to NBC for turning a bland TV promo into a real opportunity for buzz.

Wrong (US - BD RA)
If Quentin Dupieux's latest film is Wrong, Gabe doesn't want to be Right...
Dolph Springer (Jack Plotnick) awakens one morning to find he has lost the sole love of his life - his dog, Paul. Desperate to reunite with his best friend and set things right, Dolph embarks on a journey which spirals into the realm of the absurd. On his quest, he drastically alters the lives of several severely bizarro characters, including a promiscuous pizza delivery girl (Alexis Dziena), a mentally unstable, jogging-addicted neighbor, an opportunistic French-Mexican gardener, an eccentric pet detective (Steve Little) and most mysterious of all, an enigmatic pony-tailed guru, Master Chang (William Fichtner) who imparts his teachings to Dolph on how to metaphysically reconnect with his pet. (From Drafthouse Films' official synopsis)
Some motion pictures are just so conceptually weird that I can't help but find myself compelled to watch them. Sometimes, a good title, especially a very literal-sounding one, is all you need to pique my interest. How can anyone resist something like The Amazing Mr. No Legs, the sordid tale of a legless mafia hitman armed with a motorized armoury of a wheelchair? Or Death Spa, which concerns a heath club that is haunted by the wife of the owner, who uses the workout devices to kill clients (its alternate title is Witch Bitch)? Surely no one can ignore the urge to watch The Doberman Gang about a team of circus Dobermans (as in dogs) trained to rob banks that eventually turn on their masters. It has two sequels, for Christ's sake! Then there's something like Spike Jonze's Being John Malkovich – a conceptually weird movie that acknowledges its weirdness and explores it meta-textually. Jonze, his Being John Malkovich writer (turned-director) Charlie Kaufman ( Synecdoche, New York), and his Director's Label production-mate Michel Gondry ( Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep), have continued to explore similar themes throughout their very self-aware work, though they've managed to remain anchored in a relatively traditional, usually romantic, dramatic sense. Few recent films have mixed the silliness of exploitation with a meta-satire stance. Tarantino often hovers between these concepts, but is also constantly true to the stringent process of storytelling.
Enter Quentin Dupieux, a French musician-turned-filmmaker, whose third film, Rubber, is at once a surrealist manifesto and a fourth-wall-breaking, slasher film spoof. Rubber is conceptually about as weird as they come – an abandoned tire is suddenly, for absolutely no reason, turned sentient and given psychokinetic powers, which it uses to go on a killing spree somewhere in the California desert. Meanwhile, a group of people gathers in the distance to watch 'Rubber's' antics with binoculars, eventually becoming part of the action. The whole film is an exercise in absurdity for the sake of absurdity. There's no greater meaning behind the events. Dupieux isn't aping the social satire of Luis Buñuel or Alejandro Jordorowsky – he's just doing his thing. He's also a quintuple-threat filmmaker – he writes, directs, edits, co-composes music, and sometimes acts as his own cinematographer – marking him as a special class of auteur. Whatever your opinion of his films, Dupieux is clearly the one to blame.
Wrong is obviously made by the same guy that made Rubber, but is built around something resembling a plot (it is, at least, very linear) and hinges on the experience of a single character that the audience is expected to identify with on some level. Dolph is a character within this twisted universe, so he doesn't necessarily know how bizarre his life is, but he is written as aware enough to be frustrated with the even stranger behavior of the people around him. Wrong remains a relatively innocuous film, going out of its way to avoid major confrontation, but it does remind me a little of movies like Terry Gilliam's Brazil, where the protagonist is the only character that seems to understand how frustrating the movie's world is. However, unlike Brazil's Sam Lowry, Dolph suffers some particularly strange personality afflictions himself, such as going to work everyday despite having been fired months before the events of the film.
Dupieux's dialogue is similarly deadpan here, but, like the storyline, it serves a slightly more focused purpose than that of Rubber. The director's fanbase need not worry that his characters are suddenly less random than they were previously, but viewers that found Rubber's arbitrary interactions alienating might be happy to know that there is at least an acknowledgement of design this time around. For example, towards the beginning of the film, Dolph calls a pizza delivery company and has a long discussion concerning the company's logo with the young lady that answers. The conversation itself is arbitrary, but it contains minor character insight (Dolph admits he's distraught and just wants to talk to someone) and connects the two recurring characters. The interactions remind me a lot of similar asides and non-sequiturs of Wes Anderson's films and Steven Soderberg's Schizopolis. They're also delightful in their brutal honesty ('…the others will just reject me if I keep being your friend).
Wrong is constantly flecked with surrealist touches that serve zero purpose beyond absurdity. The film opens with a firefighter squatting to take a dump in the middle of a sidewalk while a van burns in the background. Later, Dolph arrives at his workplace, where the sprinkler system is causing a torrential downpour of water that everyone ignores. Meanwhile, Victor finds a polite man who has 'taken it upon himself' to paint his red truck blue. Victor assures that man that it isn't necessary, because he likes it red, but doesn't complain about the half of his truck that has already been painted blue. These brief sequences aren't particularly intrusive, either ( Wrong isn't an episodic series of skits), which adds just the right amount of oddball texture to the proceedings without being Dadaist or mean-spirited. Like other surrealists, Dupieux eye for imagery might be enough to shuttle even the most impatient viewer past his weirdness. I also think it's very hard to argue that he's a pretentious arthouse filmmaker. To the contrary, I found Wrong to be a particularly inviting, knowingly silly film with little discernable social context or subtext. It's not traditionally entertaining, I suppose, but the right audience should appreciate its eccentricities.
According to imdb.com specs, Dupieux shot Wrong using something called an 'HD-Koi' camera system with a note that it is a 'prototype.' I can't find any specific specs on this camera, but the 'experts' on various camera forums seem to agree that it is a smaller version of a KineRAW-S35 – a cheaper, Chinese-made version of a RED ONE. Or, at least, the closest a cheaper, Chinese-made camera can be compared to a RED ONE. When compressed to 1080p for Blu-ray (theoretically from 8K, I suppose?), there's not a lot of obvious difference between this camera and similar cameras. Assuming this 1080p, 1.85:1 transfer is accurate, the cheaper cameras aren't as good at capturing images in low light. Nighttime images tend to pulsate a bit and generate more overall noise than brighter sequences and higher contrast, dark interiors (when the frame isn't too dark, the contrasting black levels are plenty pure and sharp). Overall details are slightly smudged in the widest shots, but Dupieux's constant use of shallow focus and blown-out white levels ensures that this isn't really much of an issue. Textures are also reasonably sharp, despite the focal practices. The film's palette is usually washed out by those blooming, throbbing (but usually clean) whites. Flesh tones and natural greens remain pretty accurate, while clothing, prop, and set decorations are softer and more pastel. Nothing really 'pops,' but the hues are consistent. One issue that I'm attributing to the transfer (rather than the format) is the presence of edge haloes, because these also appear along the opening titles. This isn't a particularly aggressive problem, but a consistent one. There are also a few images that flutter a bit during camera movement, as if a few frames are missing. I'm not sure if this is a camera or transfer effect, though.
Like Rubber, Wrong is a pretty underwhelming film from an audio design standpoint. This DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is, for most intents and purposes, a 1.0 dialogue & effects track mixed with a surround-enhanced musical track. This is a reasonably quiet film from an effects standpoint, as well. When layered ambience does become a factor, such as the drenching sprinkler system of Dolph's workplace, the sound is still usually maintained, more or less, in the center channel (I did notice a few vehicles moving towards the stereo channels as they leave the frame). I also expect that this track has been compressed, despite the apparently lossy DTS-HD MA codec, simply because the volume levels are so low. I had to turn up the receiver pretty high to discern any of William Fichtner's dialogue. The film's music, which is composed by Tahiti Boy (seemingly of the band Tahiti Boy & The Palmtree Family) and Dupieux himself, is also pretty quiet, seemingly on purpose. The music does give the stereo and LFE channels more to do without any major directional enhancement to speak of.
The extras begin with Phase 7: The Making of a Nonfilm (12:20, HD), and interviews with Dupieux, producer Gregory Bernard, and actors Jack Plotnick, Alexis Dziena, Mark Burnham, Arden Myrin, William Fichtner, and Steve Little. The discussion covers the process of making such an odd motion picture, from conceptualization, to screenwriting, casting, and creating details without meaning. Up next is a behind-the-scenes featurette (18:00, SD) that is made in the absurdist spirit of the film. It is made up entirely of members of the cast reading from the script and shot using a very low-resolution camera (they run through almost the entire film). The extras are wrapped up with Memories of a Dog Turd (3:40, SD), colonoscopy footage seen in parts during the movie, and trailers.
I'm guessing that the people that enjoyed Quentin Dupieux's Rubber already had Wrong on their radar and already know pretty well what to expect. The rest of you will probably be divided into two groups – those that enjoy Dupieux's brand of surrealism and those that find it incomprehensibly obnoxious. I hope Wrong is close enough to accessibility to change a couple of minds, but it's enough like Rubber that it mostly applies to the same audience. Drafthouse Films' Blu-ray release has some minor video issues (that may be related to Dupieux's use of 'budget' digital HD cameras), understated DTS-HD MA sound, and an all too small collection of extras – though I suppose we wouldn't want the director to spend too much time explaining such an odd movie.

Loved Rubber but struggled with this one. I loved the madness but found it hard to really get into this one for the whole runtime.

WHS's 100-year reunion arrives May 26
From: The Watertown Gazette
By: Jimmy L Foster, Editor
One hundred and one years ago, the great citizens of Watertown gathered together with a mass of 141 members of the community and put together enough funds to construct a two-story, rectangular structure that would be known as Watertown High School.
The school, built in 1911, came at a cost of $9,768. Two years after it opened, additional wings were added for more classrooms and a basement held the cafeteria, classrooms and heating system. An auditorium and two additional classrooms were on the top floor.
In 1929, a three story high school was built and the original 1911 building became Watertown Elementary School. The 1929 building housed the high school until 1964, when a third building was constructed. This building is the current home of Watertown High School, which will then transform the current building into Watertown Middle School.
The idea for the 100-year celebration came from WHS principal Jeff Luttrell, who, along with Historic Watertown, has worked diligently with high school seniors, staff and local citizens to make this event the best it could possibly be. A contest was held at the school to design a 100-yar logo, with Micheala Upchurch being named the winning artist.
Plans for the celebration have been underway since last May when the committee was formed, and now, everything is ready to fall into place.
The 100-year reunion will be held Saturday, May 26, beginning at 4 PM. All alumni are invited. Tickets may be purchased directly through WHS or through any of Wilson Bank & Trust's branches. Tickets are $15 each and seating is limited to 500 individuals. The deadline for ticket sales is Tuesday, May 15.
For additional information on the banquet, contact Watertown High School at (615) 237-3434. Handicap parking will be available.

I currently have different POP-email accounts.
I would like to have some sort of Exchange environment, in such a way that on all my devices (computer, phone etc) the same email is displayed (and not "a copy on the server").
Is there a tool to 'convert' a POP-email account to an Exchange one? If so, which one?
In this way I can have (hosted) Exchange for my mail?
