The real-life drama between JENNIE GARTH and SHANNEN DOHERTY won't carry over into the 90210 spin-off premiering on the CW in two weeks. The actresses had a famously tense relationship when they were cast members of the original series, Beverly Hills, 90210, but Garth tells TV Guide magazine that their reunion on the new show, quote, "wasn't as bad as I thought it would be...I was a little nervous because I hadn't seen or talked to her in 14 years. Everyone was making it out to be such a big deal that I think we both fell prey to having that affect us."

Actor RYAN EGGOLD, who plays Kelly's love interest in the spin-off, says, quote, "They started off kind of tentative, but by the time we were five takes in, they were giggling and seemed to be reconnecting."

It's probably for the best that Garth and Doherty have put the past behind them, because E! Online reports that they will appear in many scenes together. 90210 debuts on September 2nd.

***WITH AS LITTLE WORK AS THE TWO OF THEM HAVE SEEN IN THE LAST 10 YEARS OR SO THEY BOTH NEED TO BE AS NICE AS POSSIBLE TO EVERYONE!!

Leda Smith is one bad grand-mama jamma. The 85-year-old woman from Springhill Township, Pennsylvania subdued a 17-year-old burglar in her home last Sunday when she grabbed a gun and ordered him to call 911 to turn himself in. After hearing the unidentified teen break into her home, Smith took out a .22-caliber revolver she's been keeping near her bed since a neighbor was robbed a few weeks ago. Smith told TV station WPXI she approached the boy and said to him, quote, "Dial 911 and don't attempt to throw the phone at me or do anything bad or I'll just shoot you." Smith kept the gun pointed at the thief while they waited for authorities, who arrived about 15 minutes after the call was made to arrest the teen.

***IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO FUNNY IF SHE WOULD HAVE PUT HIM TO WORK WHILE THEY WAITED....AND HERE WASH THESE WINDOWS, NOW CLEAN THE GUEST BATHROOM.....CALLS 911 BACK, YEAH TELL THOSE BOYS TO TAKE THEIR TIME I GOT GOT BULBS THAT NEED CHANGIN.

GUILTY PLEASURE MOVIES, YOU KNOW THE ONES YOU LOVE.....BUT REALLY DON'T WANT TO ADMIT IT. KINDA LIKE DEE SITTING AROUND WATCHING STEEL MAGNOLIAS 2 OR 3 TIMES IN A ROW...OR JOHNNY B WATCHING BREAKIN 2 ELECTRIC BUGALOO...

HERE ARE OURS FROM TODAYS SHOW. FEEL FREE TO LIST YOURS, JUST LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW.

SCOTT'S LIST:

1. EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE....CLINT EASTWOOD, SANDRA LOCKE

It starred Clint Eastwood in an uncharacteristic and offbeat comedy role, as Philo Beddoe, a trucker and brawler roaming the American West in search of a lost love while accompanied by his friend/manager Orville and his pet orangutan, Clyde. In the process Philo manages to cross a motley assortment of characters, including a pair of police officers and an entire motorcycle gang (the "Black Widows"), who end up pursuing him for revenge.

2. BIO-DOME!!!......REALLY??? ALLOW ME TO EDITORIALIZE A BIT....

BIO DOME (PAULY SHORE) MAYBE BECAUSE IT IS TRUELY HARD TO FATHOM FIRST WHO DECIDED TO PUT BILLIE BALDWIN AND PAULY SHORE IN THE SAME FILM THINKING THIS WOULD END WITH SOMETHING POSITIVE SECOND HOW YOU COULD BE A PART OF THAT MUCH BAD ACTING, BAD DIRECTING, AND ALL AROUND BAD MOVIE MAKING WITHOUT BEING REMOVED FROM FILM MAKING ALL TOGETHER. SO I GUESS I WATCH THIS ONE IN SHEER DISMAY. NOT INTERESTED SO MUCH AS FACINATED

3. SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT....BURT REYNOLDS, SALLY FEILD

As the movie begins, rich Texan Big Enos Burdette (Pat McCormick) and his son, Little Enos (Paul Williams), are trying to find a truck driver willing to haul Coors beer to Georgia for their refreshment. Unfortunately, due to state liquor regulations of the time, shipping Coors east of Texas is considered bootlegging, and the truck drivers who had taken the bet previously had been discovered and arrested. At a local truck rodeo, the Texans locate legendary truck driver Bo "Bandit" Darville (Burt Reynolds) and offer him US$80,000 (US$270,000 in 2007 dollars) to haul 400 cases of Coors beer from Texarkana, Texas to the "Southern Classic" stock car race in Georgia - in 28 hours. Bandit accepts the bet and recruits fellow trucker Cledus "Snowman" Snow (Jerry Reed) to drive the truck (Snow brings along his dog, a Basset Hound named "Fred", for company). Bandit purchases a black Pontiac Trans Am, which he will drive himself as a "blocker" car to deflect attention away from the truck and its cargo.

The duo reach Texas ahead of schedule, load their truck with Coors, and immediately head back towards Georgia. Shortly thereafter, Bandit picks up professional dancer and apparent runaway bride Carrie (Sally Field), whom he nicknames "Frog" because she was "always hopping around". However, by picking up Carrie, Bo becomes the target of Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Gleason), whose handsome yet very simple-minded son Junior (Henry) was to have been Carrie's groom.

D'S LIST:

1. POINT BREAK...KEANUE REEVES, PATRIC SWAYZE

Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves), is an FBI agent and former Ohio State quarterback who, with his partner Angelo Pappas (Gary Busey), is investigating a string of bank robberies. Suspecting a connection between the bank robbers, known as the Ex-Presidents because they use masks of former US presidents, and local surfers, Utah goes undercover to infiltrate the surfing community. Knowing little of the lifestyle, Utah convinces surfer Tyler (Lori Petty) to mentor him.

In the process, Utah develops a complex relationship with Bodhi (Patrick Swayze), the charismatic leader of a gang of surfers who accept Utah into their midst. While Utah goes undercover in the hope of finding the bank robbers, he finds himself increasingly attracted to their adrenaline-charged lifestyle.

The Bodhi/Utah dynamic gets more complicated as Utah begins to zero in on Bodhi as the likely ringleader of the Ex-Presidents. Utah learns that Bodhi and his gang rob banks in order to fund their lifestyle, and as a form of rebellion against a social system that they believe "kills the human spirit". This creates an internal struggle for Utah, as his fondness for Bodhi and the lifestyle he epitomizes conflicts with his duty and responsibility as an FBI agent.

By the end of the film, Utah lets Bodhi seek his own death surfing the giant waves of Bells Beach, Australia.

2. THE BURBS...TOM HANKS, CARRIE FISCHER, BRUCE DERN

In his typical "good guy" mode, Hanks plays Ray Peterson, a loving family-man with an ordinary life in a stereotypical "white bread" suburban neighborhood. This changes when a mysterious family, the Klopeks, move in next door. Ray's two neighbors (work-shy slacker Art and paramilitary nut Rumsfield) believe the Klopeks are actually a family of murderers who killed Walter, the old man in the next house over. Ray, along with the other two civilians-turned-detectives, attempt to solve the mystery.

3. URBAN COWBOY...JOHN TRAVOLTA, SISSY SPACEK.

The movie starts out with Bud Davis moving to Houston, Texas from Spur, Texas.[1] He soon finds work at an oil refinery with his uncle Bob. Bud quickly discovers and embraces the city's nightlife, which is centered around a bar called Gilley's (once,a real country bar owned by country singer Mickey Gilley located in Pasadena, Texas).

Bud meets Sissy in Gilley's, and after a quick courtship, the two get married. It isn't long after the wedding that they visit the bar, and they learn that a mechanical bull has been installed recently. Bud finds himself excelling at the mechanical rodeo, but feels both protective and perhaps a bit threatened by Sissy's desire to learn to ride. Bud forbids Sissy from riding it, causing a rift in their still new relationship.

A 20-year-old man in Manassas, Virginia is guilty of some doggone bad behavior. Police have arrested the unidentified man for stealing a dog from a 15-year-old boy while the teen walked the pooch Sunday night. The man allegedly walked up to the boy and demanded he give him everything in his pockets. When the boy said his pockets were empty, the man took the dog and left. Officers found the man and the dog some time later. It's unclear what kind of dog was involved.

***MAKES ME THINK OF MY RADAR...WHERE DID YOU SAY THAT NEIGHBORHOOD WAS AGAIN

ROSEANNE BARR lashed out at celeb super-couple BRAD PITT and ANGELINA JOLIE on her website Monday. In a post on Roseanneworld.com titled "JON VOIGHT," the entry begins as a political rant but swiftly turns into a tirade directed at Brangelina.

The website reads, quote, "Jon Voight, your evil spawn Angelina Jolie and her vacuous hubby Brad Pitt make about forty million dollars a year in violent psychopathic movies and give away three of it to starving children trying to look as if they give a crap about humanity."

Rosanne goes on to comment on Angelina's indecision regarding the presidential election, saying quote, "Do you not know that the African daughter you hold in every picture had parents who suffered and died because of the Republican Party's worldwide economic assault on Africa over the last few decades since Reagan? ... It might be good for your Asian and African children's self esteem to know you support a brown man for the leader of the free world. Now go back to making your movies about women who love to handle big guns that shoot hundreds of people to death

CHICKEN FETTUCINE ALFREDO!

Chicken Alfredo Sauce Recipe Ingredients
3 skinless chicken breasts
2 Tbs olive oil
2 tsp crushed garlic (optional for sauteing chicken)
4 Tbs butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano)
8 oz Fettucine Pasta (or enough to feed 4 people)
salt to your taste
a little ground black pepper to bring out the taste
a little sugar to taste
dash of nutmeg
The Fettucine You first need to get the pasta cooking and I'm assuming that you know how to do so, so just follow the instructions on the fettuccini packet. When the fettuccine is done, drain it and set it aside.

The Alfredo Sauce
Melt the butter over a low heat in a pot that will be large enough to hold the pasta at the end of the cooking.
Slowly add the cream and stir continually with a spoon until it is hot but not boiling and has reduced slighty.
Now add the Parmesan cheese a little at a time and stir until it is all melted. The sauce may take quite a while to thicken, keep stirring and don't let it boil. Add the seasonings (including the sugar) according to your taste.
The Chicken
While the Fettucine is cooking you can prepare the chicken breasts. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and saute the chicken and garlic until the chicken juice runs clear and the chicken is done.
Once the Alfredo sauce is done, stir in the cooked chicken and then add the cooked pasta to the Alfredo and chicken.

Playing fantasy football on ESPN's website is so easy, a caveman can do it -- or so it would seem. According to AdAge.com, ESPN has reached an agreement with GEICO car insurance to borrow GEICO's trademark cavemen to promote the sports network's online fantasy football feature and its Sportscenter shows on TV, radio and elsewhere.

The cavemen have been so popular in GEICO commercials that they inspired a short-lived ABC comedy that aired last fall. They've also got their own interactive website, CavemansCrib.com.

Getting a designated driver is smart. Getting one who's not even a teenager, isn't. Police in Longview, Texas arrested 35-year-old Jennifer Rosenburg for having her 12-year-old daughter drive her to a bar last Wednesday. When police pulled over the girl for a traffic violation on her way home from the tavern, she told them she had just dropped off her mother. Cops found Rosenburg, who admitted her daughter did indeed bring her to the bar. Police and Child Protective Services are both investigating the case.

Green tells MTV News he wants to be the villain in the next Batman movie. The 35-year-old actor, who currently stars on Fox's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, said, quote, "I would love to be the Riddler." Green thinks his work on Terminator makes him a longshot for the part, though. He said, quote, "I'd like to be in the next Batman, even though I am busy killing machines and people."

A source close to the Dallas Cowboys quarterback says he, quote, "is not calling Carrie," even though the country star recently told Allure magazine she's been dodging calls from him.

CAST OF DALLAS RETURNING TO CELEBRATE 30 YEARS!!!

2008-08-14T14:45:00.001-07:00

J.R., Bobby, Sue Ellen and other members of the Ewing clan are getting back together for a "Dallas" reunion party.
Cast members of the popular prime-time soap opera that ran from 1978-91 will return to the Southfork Ranch north of Dallas on Nov. 8 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the show. Several key actors, including Larry Hagman, Linda Gray and Patrick Duffy, have confirmed they will attend.
Hagman, who played central character J.R. Ewing, a scheming oil baron and cattle rancher, said he is looking forward to the event.
"I may not be able to do the 40th," said Hagman, 76, in an interview with The Dallas Morning News. "Thirty years is pretty good, and the show is still very popular."
The reunion at the ranch in suburban Parker, north of Dallas, is open to the public. Tickets go on sale Aug. 22 and will cost between $100 and $1,000. The event will include fireworks, a country music concert, a question-and-answer session with the cast and tours of the mansion.
The show is perhaps best known for the "who shot J.R.?" cliffhanger that concluded the 1979-1980 season in which Hagman's character was blasted within an inch of his life. (The shooter turned out to be J.R. Ewing's sister-in-law, Kristin.)

One Chinese athlete at the Beijing Olympics has just won the gold medal in forgetfulness. China's Zhang Liang showed up at the rowing venue to compete in the men's single scull competition, only to discover the event had already ended. He told reporters he arrived late because he thought he was in the third group of competitors when he was actually scheduled to compete in the second grouping.

Liang is now out of the 2008 summer games completely because, according to the rules of the International Rowing Federation, any athlete who fails to attend a race automatically forfeits his right to compete in other races. Zhang not only missed the single scull event, but also lost the chance to compete in the final of the double sculls for which he had already qualified with a teammate

***IN OTHER NEWS BURT WARD WHO STARRED AS ROBIN IN THE ORIGINAL SERIES WOULD JUST LIKE YOU TO KNOW, YES HE IS STILL ALIVE

DANE COOK isn't too impressed with the marketing campaign for his new movie, My Best Friend's Girl. He's posted on the Internet a laundry list of problems he sees in the movie's promotional poster, which features Cook and co-stars KATE HUDSON and JASON BIGGS.

On his MySpace blog, Cook complains the poster is, quote, "boring/odd" and that it appears as if he's wearing lipstick. He also writes, quote, "The left side of my face seems to be melting off of my skull." While he prefaces all of this by saying the movie is his funniest to date, he adds that the poster sends "the wrong message" to audiences.

CHICKEN TETRAZZINI

9 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 pound white mushrooms, sliced
1 large onion, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk , room temperature
1 cup heavy whipping cream, room temperature
1 cup chicken broth
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
12 ounces linguine
3/4 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
1 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup dried Italian-style breadcrumbs
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter over a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Melt 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil in a deep large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the hot pan and cook until pale golden and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool slightly. Coarsely shred the chicken into bite-size pieces and into a large bowl.
Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil to the same pan. Add the mushrooms and saute over medium-high heat until the liquid from the mushrooms evaporates and the mushrooms become pale golden, about 12 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, and thyme, and saute until the onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until it evaporates, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mushroom mixture to the bowl with the chicken.
Melt 3 more tablespoons butter in the same pan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk for 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk, cream, broth, nutmeg, remaining 1 3/4 teaspoons salt, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Increase the heat to high. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, until the sauce thickens slightly, whisking often, about 10 minutes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until it is tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 9 minutes. Drain. Add the linguine, sauce, peas, and parsley to the chicken mixture. Toss until the sauce coats the pasta and the mixture is well blended.
Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish. Stir the cheese and breadcrumbs in a small bowl to blend. Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the pasta. Dot with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown on top and the sauce bubbles, about 25 minutes

OK THIS IS JUST FUNNY!!!!!!!

Introduction to How Invisibility Cloaks Work

If you're a fan of Harry Potter, then you're quite familiar with the concept of an invisibility cloak. In his first year at Hogwarts Academy, Harry receives an invisibility cloak that used to belong to his father. As its name suggests, the invisibility cloak renders Harry invisible when he slips beneath the shining, silvery cloth.

Optical-camouflage technology developed at the University of Tokyo

This seems perfectly believable when you're reading about a fictional world filled with witches, wizards and centuries-old magic; but in the real world, such a garment would be impossible, right? Not so fast. With optical-camouflage technology developed by scientists at the University of Tokyo, the invisibility cloak is already a reality.

Optical camouflage delivers a similar experience to Harry Potter's invisibility cloak, but using it requires a slightly more complicated arrangement. First, the person who wants to be invisible (let's call her Person A) dons a garment that resembles a hooded raincoat. The garment is made of a special material that we'll examine more closely in a moment. Next, an observer (Person B) stands before Person A at a specific location. At that location, instead of seeing Person A wearing a hooded raincoat, Person B sees right through the cloak, making Person A appear to be invisible. The photograph on the right below shows you what Person B would see. If Person B were viewing from a slightly different location, he would simply see Person A wearing a silver garment (left photograph below).

Still, despite its limitations, this is a cool piece of technology. Not only that, but it's also a technology that's been around for a while.

Invisibility may soon become a reality, thanks to scientists who are developing battle armor that can make soldiers virtually invisible. Learn more about invisibility technology in this video from the Discovery Channel.

Altered Reality

Optical camouflage doesn't work by way of magic. It works by taking advantage of something called augmented-reality technology -- a type of technology that was first pioneered in the 1960s by Ivan Sutherland and his students at Harvard University and the University of Utah. You can read more about augmented reality in How Augmented Reality Will Work, but a quick recap will be helpful here.
Augmented-reality systems add computer-generated information to a user's sensory perceptions. Imagine, for example, that you're walking down a city street. As you gaze at sites along the way, additional information appears to enhance and enrich your normal view. Perhaps it's the day's specials at a restaurant or the show times at a theater or the bus schedule at the station. What's critical to understand here is that augmented reality is not the same as virtual reality. While virtual reality aims to replace the world, augmented reality merely tries to supplement it with additional, helpful content.

Augmented-reality displays overlay computer-generated graphics onto the real world.

Most augmented-reality systems require that users look through a special viewing apparatus to see a real-world scene enhanced with synthesized graphics. They also require a powerful computer. Optical camouflage requires these things, as well, but it also requires several other components. Here's everything needed to make a person appear invisible:

A garment made from highly reflective material
A video camera
A computer
A projector
A special, half-silvered mirror called a combiner
Let's look at each of these components in greater detail.

The Cloak
The cloak that enables optical camouflage to work is made from a special material known as retro-reflective material.

Photo courtesy ©Tachi Laboratory, the University of Tokyo
Invisibility cloak

A retro-reflective material is covered with thousands and thousands of small beads. When light strikes one of these beads, the light rays bounce back exactly in the same direction from which they came.

To understand why this is unique, look at how light reflects off of other types of surfaces. A rough surface creates a diffused reflection because the incident (incoming) light rays get scattered in many different directions. A perfectly smooth surface, like that of a mirror, creates what is known as a specular reflection -- a reflection in which incident light rays and reflected light rays form the exact same angle with the mirror surface. In retro-reflection, the glass beads act like prisms, bending the light rays by a process known as refraction. This causes the reflected light rays to travel back along the same path as the incident light rays. The result: An observer situated at the light source receives more of the reflected light and therefore sees a brighter reflection.

Retro-reflective materials are actually quite common. Traffic signs, road markers and bicycle reflectors all take advantage of retro-reflection to be more visible to people driving at night. Movie screens used in most modern commercial theaters also take advantage of this material because it allows for high brilliance under dark conditions. In optical camouflage, the use of retro-reflective material is critical because it can be seen from far away and outside in bright sunlight -- two requirements for the illusion of invisibility.

More Invisibility Cloak Components

Video Camera

Photo courtesy ©Tachi Laboratory, the University of Tokyo

The retro-reflective garment doesn't actually make a person invisible -- in fact, it's perfectly opaque. What the garment does is create an illusion of invisibility by acting like a movie screen onto which an image from the background is projected. Capturing the background image requires a video camera, which sits behind the person wearing the cloak. The video from the camera must be in a digital format so it can be sent to a computer for processing.

Computer
All augmented-reality systems rely on powerful computers to synthesize graphics and then superimpose them on a real-world image. For optical camouflage to work, the hardware/software combo must take the captured image from the video camera, calculate the appropriate perspective to simulate reality and transform the captured image into the image that will be projected onto the retro-reflective material.

The Projector

Photo courtesy ©Tachi Laboratory, the University of Tokyo

The modified image produced by the computer must be shone onto the garment, which acts like a movie screen. A projector accomplishes this task by shining a light beam through an opening controlled by a device called an iris diaphragm. An iris diaphragm is made of thin, opaque plates, and turning a ring changes the diameter of the central opening. For optical camouflage to work properly, this opening must be the size of a pinhole. Why? This ensures a larger depth of field so that the screen (in this case the cloak) can be located any distance from the projector.

The Combiner
The system requires a special mirror to both reflect the projected image toward the cloak and to let light rays bouncing off the cloak return to the user's eye. This special mirror is called a beam splitter, or a combiner -- a half-silvered mirror that both reflects light (the silvered half) and transmits light (the transparent half). If properly positioned in front of the user's eye, the combiner allows the user to perceive both the image enhanced by the computer and light from the surrounding world. This is critical because the computer-generated image and the real-world scene must be fully integrated for the illusion of invisibility to seem realistic. The user has to look through a peephole in this mirror to see the augmented reality.

The Complete System

Now let's put all of these components together to see how the invisibility cloak appears to make a person transparent. The diagram below shows the typical arrangement of all of the various devices and pieces of equipment.

Once a person puts on the cloak made with the retro-reflective material, here's the sequence of events:

A digital video camera captures the scene behind the person wearing the cloak.
The computer processes the captured image and makes the calculations necessary to adjust the still image or video so it will look realistic when it is projected.
The projector receives the enhanced image from the computer and shines the image through a pinhole-sized opening onto the combiner.
The silvered half of the mirror, which is completely reflective, bounces the projected image toward the person wearing the cloak.
The cloak acts like a movie screen, reflecting light directly back to the source, which in this case is the mirror.
Light rays bouncing off of the cloak pass through the transparent part of the mirror and fall on the user's eyes. Remember that the light rays bouncing off of the cloak contain the image of the scene that exists behind the person wearing the cloak.
The person wearing the cloak appears invisible because the background scene is being displayed onto the retro-reflective material. At the same time, light rays from the rest of the world are allowed reach the user's eye, making it seem as if an invisible person exists in an otherwise normal-looking world.

Head-mounted Displays

Of course, making the observer stand behind a stationary combiner is not very pragmatic -- no augmented-reality system would be of much practical use if the user had to stand in a fixed location. That's why most systems require that the user carry the computer on his or her person, either in a backpack or clipped on the hip. It's also why most systems take advantage of head-mounted displays, or HMDs, which assemble the combiner and optics in a wearable device.
There are two types of HMDs: optical see-through displays and video see-through displays. Optical see-through displays look like high-tech goggles, sort of like the goggles Cyclops wears in the X-Men comic books and movies. These goggles provide a display and optics for each eye, so the user sees the augmented reality in stereo. Video see-through displays, on the other hand, use video-mixing technology to combine the image from a head-worn camera with computer-generated graphics.

Video see-through display

In this arrangement, video of the real world is mixed with synthesized graphics and then presented on a liquid-crystal display. The great advantage of video see-through displays is that virtual objects can fully obscure real-world objects and vice versa.

The scientists who have developed optical-camouflage technology are currently perfecting a variation of a video see-through display that brings together all of the components necessary to make the invisibility cloak work.

Prototype head-mounted projector

They call their apparatus a head-mounted projector (HMP) because the projection unit is an integral part of the helmet. Two projectors -- one for each eye -- are required to produce a stereoscopic effect.

Real-World Applications

While an invisibility cloak is an interesting application of optical camouflage, it's probably not the most useful one. Here are some practical ways the technology might be applied:
Pilots landing a plane could use this technology to make cockpit floors transparent. This would enable them to see the runway and the landing gear simply by glancing down.

Doctors performing surgery could use optical camouflage to see through their hands and instruments to the underlying tissue. See Tachi Lab: Optical Camouflage: oc-phantom.mpg to watch a video of how this might work.

Providing a view of the outside in windowless rooms is one of the more fanciful applications of the technology, but one that might improve the psychological well-being of people in such environments.

Drivers backing up cars could benefit one day from optical camouflage. A quick glance backward through a transparent rear hatch or tailgate would make it easy to know when to stop.
One of the most promising applications of this technology, however, has less to do with making objects invisible and more about making them visible. The concept is called mutual telexistence: working and perceiving with the feeling that you are in several places at once. Here's how it works:

Human user A is at one location while his telexistence robot A is at another location with human user B.
Human user B is at one location while his telexistence robot B is at another location with human user A.
Both telexistence robots are covered in retro-reflective material so that they act like screens.
With video cameras and projectors at each location, the images of the two human users are projected onto their respective robots in the remote locations.
This gives each human the perception that he is working with another human instead of a robot.
Right now, mutual telexistence is science fiction, but it won't be for long as scientists continue to push the boundaries of the technology. For example, pervasive gaming is already becoming a reality. Pervasive gaming extends gaming experiences out into the real world, whether on city streets or in remote wilderness. Players with mobile displays move through the world while sensors capture information about their environment, including their location. This information is used to deliver users a gaming experience that changes according to where they are and what they are doing.

Invisibility cloak, staple of fantasy, moves one step closer to reality

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time the ability to cloak three-dimensional objects using artificially engineered materials that redirect light. Previously, they only have been able to cloak very thin two-dimensional objects. The findings, by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, are scheduled to be released this week in the journals Nature and Science. The new work moves scientists a step closer to hiding people and objects from visible light, which could have broad applications, including military ones. People can see objects because they scatter the light that strikes them, reflecting some of it back to the eye. Cloaking uses materials, known as metamaterials, to deflect radar, light or other waves around an object, like water flowing around a smooth rock in a stream. —

Star magazine quotes sources as saying actor SHIA LABEOUF is facing amputation of one of his fingers on his injured left hand. A source on the New Mexico set of Shia's new movie, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, says the actor telephoned producers Wednesday and told them doctors may have to amputate the pinky finger on his left hand. The source tells the magazine the news has, quote, "really thrown the movie into turmoil." Transformers director MICHAEL BAY has already said he may work LaBeouf's injury into the story.

The 21-year-old actor's hand was crushed when his SUV rolled at an intersection in West Hollywood on July 27th after being struck by another vehicle that ran a red light. Though LaBeouf was exonerated of blame in the accident, he was charged with DUI. The actor's rep was unavailable for comment

THE CURSE OF THE DARK KNIGHT??? THE MOST FAMOUS MOVIE CURSES OF ALL TIME.

THE OMEN:

ORIGINAL MOVIE:
plagued with unexplainable tragedies, including scriptwriter David Seltzer, who was struck by lightning, and star Gregory Peck, who narrowly escaped a plane crash, but wasn't so lucky when it came to his son, who killed himself by way of a single bullet to the head.

POLTERGEIST

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poltergeist_curse

Different website had this to say:
The most infamous possession movie is also afflicted with Hollywood's most infamous curse: four deaths are associated with the trilogy, which was premised around destructive spirits who inhabited a house. The film's young star, Heather O'Rourke, died at only 12 of septic shock, and her onscreen sister, Dominique Dunne, was strangled to death by her distraught boyfriend. Julian Beck, who played an evil spirit, died of cancer, while Will Sampson, who played a good spirit, died after a heart-lung transplant. All the deaths occurred within a six-year period.

THE CROW
Star Brandon Lee's death paralleled the plot of gloomy '90s goth flick he was working on so closely, it's hard not to chalk it up to the supernatural. Lee died on the set of The Crow after being shot by a gun that was supposed to be filled with banks, while his character was supposed to be shot with a gun he thinks is unloaded. Likewise, in the script, The Crow was killed the night before his wedding; Lee was to marry his fiancée once filming ended on the movie.

ROSEMARY'S BABY:
Roman Polanski's controversial 1968 film - about a woman who gives birth to the devil after her husband promises it to a sect of Satanists in return of fame and fortune - is also surrounded by mysteriously coincidental, horrifying incidents. A year after Rosemary's Baby's release, Polanski's wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered by the Manson Family while she was eight months pregnant with the couple's first child. Also in 1969, producer William Castle was rushed to the hospital with kidney failure and, legend has it, he yelled out, "Rosemary, for God's sake, drop the knife!" while being admitted. Krzysztof Komeda, who scored the movie, happened to be a resident of the same hospital Castle was taken to; he later died of a blood clot, mimicking the death of Rosemary's friend Hutch from the film.

REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE

James Dean's death carThe silver Porsche Spyder that Rebel Without a Cause star James Dean was killed in, nicknamed Little Bastard, was the vehicle of an eerie curse, which first took its toll on two mechanics, who both had their legs broken while unloading it after it was bought by a Hollywood car customizer. The engine and drive-train were later purchased by two different men, who used the parts in their own cars. The first time the men, Troy McHenry and William Eschrid, raced the cars, both spun out of control; McHenry hit a tree and was killed instantly, while Eschrid was seriously injured after rolling his car while taking a turn.

DONNY OSMOND is reportedly heading to Great Britain to find work. The Daily Star newspaper reports the 50-year-old singer/actor/game show host/reality show contestant is set to appear on Britain's I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. A source tells the newspaper, quote, "Donny has a huge fan base and everyone loves him. He has the potential to win." Donny Osmond's younger brother, JIMMY, appeared on the British reality series three years ago and made it to the final four.

***OK WHEN JIMMY OSMOND IS MAKING INROADS FOR YOUR CARREER IT'S TIME TO STOP AND RE-EVALUATE.

Police in Cass County, Minnesota are sending a message loud and clear: don't text while driving. An unidentified man who was arrested last Sunday for driving 80 miles per hour on the wrong side of the road told police it was all because he was sending text messages. Police also arrested him on suspicion of drunk driving.The driver was on the wrong side of the road when he had to swerve in order to avoid hitting a police car. He then put the pedal to the metal and drove away, hitting 100 miles per hour before finally pulling over. The man's arrest came just two days after Minnesota made it illegal to text while driving.

***THOUGH I DEFINATELY DO NOT CONDONE TEXTING AND DRIVING, AS FAR AS THE LIST OF THINGS HE WAS DOING WRONG, TEXTING SEEMS TO BE THE LEAST.

UNHAPPY DRIVER DEMANDS STATE PAY FOR HER IDLING COSTS

2008-08-05T15:25:00.001-07:00

Carol Greenberg wants the state of Michigan to put its money where her mouth is. Greenberg has sent the Michigan Department of Transportation a bill for 16 dollars, claiming that's how much money she wasted on gas while sitting in traffic.Greenberg says she was returning home from a trip to a veterinarian with her cat late last month when she was forced to sit idling in her car for 50 minutes because of construction on a highway in Newport, Michigan. Greenberg, who hails from nearby Perrysburg, Ohio, says there were no signs warning motorists about any road work, so she had no choice but to sit in her car and wait. In addition to the frustration of dealing with traffic, Greenberg says she had to endure listening to her cat, who howled the whole time they sat still.The department of transportation wrote back to Greenberg to let her know it can't reimburse drivers.

BILLBOARD TOP 100 TURNS 50!!!

2008-08-05T14:10:00.000-07:00

The Hot 100 just turned the big 5-0.
The seminal singles chart turned a half-century-old today, having made its Billboard magazine debut on Aug. 4, 1958. Ricky Nelson's "Poor Little Fool" topped the inaugural Hot 100 chart, which covered the week ended Aug. 9, and nearly a 1,000 songs have graced its perch since.
In celebration of its silver anniversary, here's our own hit list of Hot 100 highlights:

• Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's 1995 single "One Sweet Day" holds the record for the most weeks at No. 1 with 16.

• 1987's Bad landed five No. 1 singles to give Michael Jackson the most chart-toppers ever from a single album.

• In '95, Jackson's "You Are Not Alone" became the first song ever to debut at No. 1. Unfortunately, it's also his last song to reach No. 1.

• In '64, the Beatles became the first band to replace itself at No. 1 when "She Loves You" topped "I Want to Hold Your Hand," their very first U.S. chart-topper. "Can't Buy Me Love" then hit No. 1 to make the Beatles the only group to string together three consecutive chart-toppers.

• The Fab Four also became the only group to occupy the top five spots at once. Starting at No. 1, the five songs were "Can't Buy Me Love," "Twist and Shout," "She Loves You," "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "Please Please Me." A week later, the Beatles set another record with 14 songs on the Hot 100.

• Taylor Hicks' "Do I Make You Proud" claims the dubious distinction of being the only No. 1 song to spend less than 10 total weeks on the Hot 100. The 2006 song debuted at No. 1, a feat accomplished by fellow American Idol stars Carrie Underwood, Fantasia and Clay Aiken and by no one else in nearly a decade.

• Billy Preston's "Nothing From Nothing" and Dionne Warwick's "Then Came You" share the record for the biggest falls from No. 1 with 14-spot drops. Remarkably, these drops happened in consecutive weeks in late '74.

• "Go Away Little Girl" is the first song to repeat at No. 1 by a different artist—Steve Lawrence did it in '63 and Donny Osmond in '71.

• At 33 years and 7 months, Cher holds the record for the longest span between No. 1s with 1965's "I Got You Babe" and 1999's "Believe." She had seven other No. 1s in-between.

• Otis Redding claims the first posthumous No. 1 with 1968's "(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay." Redding had passed away in December 1967. Thirty years later, Notorious B.I.G. became the first artist to score consecutive posthumous No. 1s with "Hypnotize" and "Mo Money Mo Problems."

• Domenico Modugno's "Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volare)" was the first non-English-language No. 1 back in '58. Los del Rio's "Macarena" was the most recent in '96.

• Maroon 5's "Make Me Wonder" went from No. 64 to No. 1 in '07 to set the record for the biggest jump ever to the top of the chart. • In the summer of 2000, Aaliyah's "Try Again" became the first song to top the Hot 100 purely on radio play.

• At nearly nine minutes long, Guns N' Roses' "November Rain" is the longest song ever to crack the Top 40.

In the 15 years before the birth of the Hot 100, songs were tracked on three different charts divided by store sales, radio spins and jukebox play.

By early 1958, the jukebox chart had been discontinued, and the new countdown, titled the Top 100, was the first to combine sales and spins. By August of that year, the Top 100 was rechristened the Hot 100, and it has remained the industry standard ever since.
For you history buffs, the Hot 100 debuted at a time when Eisenhower was president, there were only 48 U.S. states and gas set you back 25 cents a gallon.

YAHOO TOP TEN FEMALE REALITY STARS

2008-08-05T14:08:00.000-07:00

10. Before "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," most people probably couldn't say what Kim Kardashian actually did… and really, it's still a little hazy. Her infamy did emerge the new-fashioned way: in a stolen sex tape. Later her trivia emerged: O.J. Simpson's defense lawyer's daughter, Olympic medalist Bruce Jenner's stepdaughter, and "Laguna Beach" denizen Brody Jenner's stepsister. Connections aside, Kim exemplifies true reality TV breeding by making a name with no inheritance or real gig to speak of. Now she's aiming towards respectability: workout DVD (check), blog (check), perfume (coming in 2009), and a(nother) wedding ring… unless boyfriend Reggie Bush decides to go from running back to backpedaler.

9. Paris Hilton was once considered an It Girl… until too much partying, titles like "worst celebrity role model," and a prison sentence dulled her buzz. The heiress still consistently rules in the top 250 searches and ranks second among reality TV female celebrities, but her searches have been sliding to a three-year low. Now Hilton is returning to the roots of her fame… no, not the sex tape that still gives her royalties, but to a reality show. She seeks not love, nor approval (or a job skill, for that matter), but friendship in MTV's "Paris Hilton: My New BFF."

8. At 41, Pamela Anderson is the grand dame among the women of reality TV. Age, as some politicians would have us believe, may mean she's savvier than the average reality star, and to look over the trajectory, (well actually, straight line) of her career path, even critics admire the way she knows how to preserve Brand Anderson. The "Baywatch" alum has confused detractors with her entry animation, self-spoofing camp, and a "Borat" acting turn that actually fooled critics. MTV's own investigation phrased it best: Anderson "might just give the best performance of her career in the film while playing herself." And now Anderson's back… as Anderson.

7. Bring in the sympathy vote. Brooke Hogan was just another kid of a wrestler in a reality TV show, until reality drama became the stuff of country song lyrics. Her brother Nick was jailed for his role in a disastrous car accident, her dad got caught on tape with some insensitive reassurances, and mom's dating someone who was in the grade behind her. Apparently, a Hogan can take a lot of body blows, and she's now started a new round with "Brooke Knows Best" (VH1). Brooke may not know herself best, consider she calls herself straitlaced then performs burlesque routines and entertains Playboy offers. It's not just reality; it's an alternate reality with number four.

6. Tila Tequila is all about irony and determination. The irony is that her namesake comes from an allergy attack during her first elementary school experiment with booze. The determination is her single-minded, moth-like flight towards fame via her Website, men's magazines, music, and her heart. So far tiny Tila has come up empty-handed after two seasons of "A Shot of Love with Tila Tequila," despite her bisexual openness. The equal-opportunity angle was a first for reality TV romance, although the Season 2 winner's rejection at a shot of love ended up making a bitter Tequila. Third time's a charm… or a strike-out.

5. What do you do to bust up two marriages -- one your own, and the other your bestest friend's? You try Public Relations 201 and end up in "Denise Richards: It's Complicated." Complication doesn't even begin to explain the mess that landed her here. So far her public image is still a muck-up, especially with Richards back in custodial court with her ex-husband Charlie Sheen. Some observers call the move a lowdown approach to boost higher ratings. Whatever her tactics, she's kept her online profile pumping to make number six.

4. Kendra Wilkinson may share Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner with two others, but she has the lioness' share of searches. The youngest among three roomies in "The Girls Next Door," Wilkinson has been the friendly neighbor for years. Recently, though, there's been talk about discord in the household, but she finally landed on the rumor-squelching circuit and denied any problems with the live-in arrangements. Reality TV rules are rules, though: The 22-year-old can't date other guys while she's in the Hefner harem, but she says she's fantasizing about marriage and kids. Wait a minute, wouldn't "Real Housewives of Playboy" be a slam-dunk?

3. Heidi Klum could be the most well-adjusted celebrity on reality TV. Hanging in cool and collected at number 7, the supermodel glides effortlessly between hosting gigs ("Project Runway" and the Emmys), producing shows, designing clothing, and being happily married to singer Seal. The mother of three even did a stint on Sesame Street's latest season premiere. Strictly speaking, "Project Runway" falls more under the reality competition umbrella, and not the kind of rip-away-the-flesh kind of celeb-reality. Still, Klum lands on the list for her producer creds behind "Project Runway" and for helping to land the first Emmy for outstanding competitive reality series.

2. Not that there's a contest or anything, but Hugh Hefner galpal Holly Madison is the top lady of the house, namely in "The Girls Next Door." The claws may be showing (see Kendra Wilkinson), she brings in just a third of the newbie roommate's search numbers... that's got to smart. Hey, no one can ever take away her acclaim as one of the top Hooters girls ever and Hef's "love of his life"... for the time being.

1. Nepotism might have gotten Tori Spelling into "Beverly Hills 90210," but playing Donna Martin on the teen soap seared her name forever into pop culture lore. She's set to return to the newest CW iteration, but in between Spelling traveled the reality show circuit thrice with husband Dean McDermott. Their stint as bed & breakfast owners in "Tori & Dean: Inn Love" I and II and now in "Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood" has taken a cuddly view of their marriage… despite the messy divorce that preceded it. At least the jilted wife got a good story out of it.

CHARLIE SHEEN won't nickel and dime you -- he'll just nickel you. According to TMZ.com, the Two and a Half Men star wasn't pleased to learn that Beverly Hills physician PETER WALDSTEIN was immunizing his two children with ex-wife DENISE RICHARDS, again Sheen's wishes. After Waldstein replied that he'd treat Sheen's kids whenever they needed medical attention, no matter what, Sheen sat on the 380-dollar treatment bill from Waldstein's office. Until yesterday, that is, when Sheen messengered 380 bucks in nickels to the doc's office. Waldstein said he'll donate it to the March of Dimes. By the way, we did the math for you -- that's 7,600 nickels, weighing just under 84 pounds.

Joseph Devalle had a Big Mac attack -- literally. Police in Naples, Florida arrested the 37-year-old Devalle last Saturday after he got into a fight with a McDonald's employee that ended with Devalle ripping off the worker's shirt and bringing it home.The episode began when Devalle became upset after the employee messed up his order over the drive-thru speaker. The two exchanged some harsh words and when Devalle pulled around to the window, the employee refused to serve him. After the two continued to argue, the worker punched Devalle in the face. Devalle then reached into the drive-thru window and tried to pull out the employee. He succeeded in pulling off the worker's shirt before driving away. The employee jotted down Devalle's license plate number and called police, who arrested him.

How often is a celebrity blessed with the opportunity to host both the ESPY Awards and the Oscars in the span of one year? Though JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE recently hosted the ESPN awards ceremony, he probably won't be offered the same gig by the Academy. TOM O'NEIL of the Los Angeles Times' awards show website TheEnvelope.com is denying published reports that the singer's a candidate to host the Oscars, after he supposedly impressed decision-makers with his light-hearted performance at the ESPYs. An Oscar spokesperson told O'Neil, quote, "The Academy has not yet selected a producer for the show and it is the producer's job to secure a host."

The London Telegraph reports that studio bosses have set their sights on a JOHNNY DEPP to play the Riddler in the next Batmanmovie, with PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN as the Penguin. If that's not enough, ANGELINA JOLIE is rumored to be up for Catwoman. The Dark Knight continues as the number one movie in America, with over $300 million in gross revenues so far.

According to MSNBC's The Scoop, he's been "assigned" to Madonna's Kabbalah advisor, RABBI EITAN YARDENI. A source says, quote, "When there's trouble with Madonna, when she needs help with a decision, [Yardeni] is dispatched...The same will go for A-Rod."

YOU HAVE CRASHED HOW MANY CARS DEE?????

2008-07-31T16:25:00.000-07:00

WE FOUND OUT TODAY THAT DEE THE WORLDS GREATEST TRAFFIC REPORTER IS ALSO ARGUABLY ONE OF THE WORLDS GREATEST ACCIDENT CAUSES!!!!!!! WE FOUND OUT THAT DEE HAS CRASHED EVERY SINGLE CAR SHE HAS EVER OWNED!!! SHE HAS TOTALLED NOT ONE, NOT TWO....BUT 6 CARS!!!!!!!!! THAT IS HANDS ON TRAFFIC REPORTING RIGHT THERE! BUT IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT THERE MAY BE NOBODY MORE QUALIFIED TO REPORT TRAFFIC. I STILL THINK SHE STARTED REPORTING IT BECAUSE SHE GOT TIRED OF BEING IT!!!!

PARIS, BRIT,..........BARACK???

2008-07-31T16:17:00.000-07:00

When you think of BRITNEY SPEARS and PARIS HILTON, comparisons to BARACK OBAMA don't usually come to mind. But a new TV ad from Senator JOHN MCCAIN's presidential campaign, currently airing in 11 states, compares the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee to Brit and Paris, concluding that Senator Obama is, quote, "the biggest celebrity in the world." In comparing the Illinois senator to the two tabloid darlings, the ad suggests that Obama is an over-hyped candidate who isn't qualified to serve as the next U.S. president.For the record, Obama stated at a campaign stop in Missouri yesterday that he's never met Hilton. Much like Obama, a spokesman for Hilton doesn't care much for the ad, saying, quote, "Miss Hilton was neither asked, nor did she give permission, for the use of her likeness in the ad, and has no further comment." KEN BAKER, executive news editor for the E! channel, says the ad is tantamount to a smear campaign. He says it tries to, quote, "associate Obama with these two celebrities who really have no credibility at all, even in the celebrity world."

**HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE BRITNEY AND PARIS WHEN JUST COMPARING YOU TO THEM IS CONSIDERED A "SMEAR CAMPAIGN"!!!!

WATER COOLER TALK JULY 31, 2008

2008-07-31T13:22:00.000-07:00

Never again! That's what 47-year-old KATHY GRIFFIN says about the possibility of more cosmetic surgery. The star of Bravo's My Life on the D-List has never been shy about confessing the work she's had done -- including, quote, "a face lift, eye job and all that stuff five years ago" -- but tells the September issue of Fitness magazine, "What I found, though, was that it didn't help me one bit. It didn't get me happier or didn't make me look particularly younger."

**NOW DATING COMPUTER BILLIONAIRES, THAT WILL MAKE YOU HAPPIER, MAYBE NOT YOUNGER BUT AT THAT POINT AGE IS A NUMBER ONE WITH NOT NEAR AS MANY ZEROS IN IT AS THERE IS IN BILLIONAIRE!

A feline in Voorhees, New Jersey has given new meaning to the term "fat cat." Animal rescue workers found a 44-pound stray cat without a collar last week that they have since named Princess Chunk. The portly creature's owner has until Saturday to claim her or else someone else can adopt her. A shelter volunteer who is currently taking care of Princess Chunk was stunned the cat wound up on its own, adding, quote, "She's built like a quarterback. I mean, how do you lose a 44-pound cat?"Princess Chunk is in nearly royal company when it comes to size. According to Guinness, the fattest cat on record lived in Australia in the 1980s and weighed 46 pounds, 15 ounces. Guinness has since disbanded the category.

****I DON'T THINK THIS CATS FAMILY WILL BE LOCATED, SOUNDS TO ME LIKE SHE ATE THEM!

It's me Deeeeee!!!!!!! I have picked out the perfect outfit for my dogs for the Duck War 08 competition. I will indeed have to cover my little angels eyes the second they see Scott's duck taped to that awful tree. It is pretty gruesome. Sorry Scott! However. He has begun a retaliation with my Duck and it is awful. He has tossed it like a rag duck. Thrown it in the trash several times (he knows I am a germaphobe) and sent it on a parachute trip with a very shakey parachute. Not good. Someone or Someduck may really get hurt before this is all over.
