  1. Glen Beck was on the cover of Time magazine the other day. I picked it up and skimmed through the article to the end of it. Turns out hes making roughly $3 million a year from his website and $2 million a year from fox news. And thats not counting his book sales, appearances, etc. In the article it says that the main strategy for his success is that the more critizism he gets from people, the more loyal his actual fan base becomes. It also said that a recent campaign against his advertisers resulted in some of his advertisers dropping him, but his ratings went through the roof because his name was being tossed around all over the internet. And he wants more people to hate him because it just makes more ratings for him. All he seems to care about is making money.

    The time article writer even said that a couple years ago a show like his would get canceled, but in todays times its all about ratings and money. And what if his kind of news becomes the new standard, instead of the media controlling us with just fear, it'll make us all rage.

    Just like I said in another post. :P

    The more people hate him, the higher his ratings go. Its just not him, its just about every thing imaginable. Anything that causes controversy is rocketed to immediate success.

    Just weeks after the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe movie left Warner Bros. Pictures, Mattel is finalizing a deal with Columbia Pictures. Escape Artists will produce the project.

    Sony and Escape Artists' Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch will now start developing the project from scratch. John Stevenson had been attached to direct but is no longer attached.

    In the big screen adaptation of the signature Mattel toy line, He-Man is a brawny prince who transforms into a warrior who becomes the last hope for a magical land called Eternia, which is being ravaged by technology and the evil Skeletor.


  3. The ones I use have never gone dry on me and they only time they've ever been uncomfortable is when i wear them way too long. Cleaning mine require you only to drop them in the solution in a container overnight while you sleep. I can't even feel them in my eyes.

    Variety reports that Warner Bros. and Mattel are parting ways on Masters of the Universe, the new live-action adaptation of the Mattel toy line that the studio and producer Joel Silver have been developing since 2007.

    The trade says that Mattel and WB didn't see eye to eye over the direction of the project and made a mutual decision to let the option lapse this month.

    Mattel will take back the property and set it up elsewhere. The expectation is that director John Stevenson (Kung Fu Panda) will remain with the project, but not Silver, who is exclusive to WB.

    There are no comments listed in the database.

    WASHINGTON – A refurbished Hubble Space Telescope is showing Earth the sharpest photos yet of cosmic beauty, complete with heavenly glows.

    NASA on Wednesday unveiled the first deep space photos taken by Hubble since its billion dollar repair mission last spring. That work included installing two new cameras, other science instruments and replacing broken parts.

    "Hubble is back in action. Together, NASA and Hubble are opening new vistas on the universe," astronomer and frequent Hubble user Heidi Hammel said.

    The 10 images of galaxies and nebulas — clouds of stellar gas and dust — are sharper than previous photos taken of the same places by Hubble before its fifth and final upgrade. Some have brilliant glows of light that give them halos that to some people can appear heavenly. And one of those resembles an eerie cosmic butterfly, but is really a stellar nursery or nebula not too far away

    The butterfly photo shows details, such as gassy folds in what looks like butterfly wings, that the Hubble previously could not see, said Hubble senior scientist Dave Leckrone.

    The glow in that photo and others is hot gas and dust pushed out from the stars, Leckrone said. In a way, it's like a lightbulb, with the star as the filament but the overall glow from the gas, he said.

    The images, especially the butterfly, don't just show science, but can evoke a sense of spirituality, Leckrone said.

    "What I see is the grandeur of creation, however it got there," Leckrone told The Associated Press.

    The most stunning photos involve the cosmos at its most violent: the birth and death of stars.

    One shows the stellar nursery Carina Nebula, about 7,500 light years away. A light year is nearly 6 trillion miles. The photo shows an eerie backlit reddish cloud being bombarded by radiation. When Hubble's new camera uses a different light spectrum, the cloud disappears and the infant stars appear. They are only about 100,000 years old with white jets shooting out.

    Those jets are cosmic debris "being blasted out at very high velocity at what's going to be a planetary system," said University of Virginia astronomer Bob O'Connell.

    Another image shows a compact cluster of thousands of stars — a field of white glimmering with dots of blazing hot blue stars and cooler red ones.

    All but one of the Hubble photos are from inside the Milky Way galaxy. The exception caught five spiral galaxies in a single image.

    Soon Hubble will turn its new cameras to the furthest edges of the universe and take photos from soon after the Big Bang.

    "Our view of the universe and our place within it will never be the same," NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, who as an astronaut piloted the space shuttle that put Hubble in orbit 19 years ago.

    Since the repairs, Leckrone said there has not been a single technical problem with Hubble, which was plagued by blurry images when it was first launched. The first photos from the repaired Hubble came earlier this summer, when the telescope took pictures of Jupiter when an asteroid or comet hit it. They were unscheduled quick black-and-white looks; the photos released Wednesday were planned, longer observations.

    The astronauts who helped repair Hubble basked in the celebration of the new photos.

    "The hair was standing up on the back of my neck to see the potential of this telescope," said John Grunsfeld.

    Mike Massimino said his reaction on seeing the photos was: "Thank God, we didn't break it."

    UNIONTOWN, Pa. — A Pennsylvania history buff who recreates firearms from old wars accidentally fired a 2-pound cannonball through the wall of his neighbor's home. William Maser, 54, fired a cannonball Wednesday evening outside his home in Georges Township that ricocheted and hit a house 400 yards away. The cannonball, about two inches in diameter, smashed through a window and a wall before landing in a closet. Authorities said nobody was hurt.

    State police charged Maser with reckless endangerment, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct.

    No one answered the phone Friday at Maser's home. He told WPXI-TV recreating 19th century cannons is a longtime hobby. He said he is sorry and he will stop shooting them on his property, about 35 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
