It’s Time For Dorkwave

The TV Guide

Posted by: Trent on October 12, 2013|

I made it home to Detroit, MI safe and sound last night … early enough so that Sarah, her mom and I could catch a showing of Gravity in IMAX 3D They hadn’t seen the movie yet and I was dying to see it again without the technical difficulties and … a great time was had. While I still with the film’s story was a bit more fortified, the special effects space scenes were just as dizzyingly fantastic as the first time (even better, to be honest). Tonight, tho … tonight is going to be a BLAST! My all-time favorite danceparty DORKWAVE is celebrating their 9 1/2 year anniversary at the Corktown Tavern and my friends and I will be there to dance the night away!

I’ve enjoyed many fun nights dancing at Dorkwave and I’m hoping for another such fun night tonight. Dorkwave goes back to the days before hipsters were an annoying joke. Back when things were genuinely cool. A lot has changed in the past 9 1/2 years but I’m happy to see that the Dorkwave party is still going (relatively) strong. I’m so excited! There are a lot of other fun things planned for my visit home but tonight’s Dorkwave danceparty is one of the biggies :) I hope your Saturday is treating you well. Have an amazing weekend!!

Bar?a make contact with ex-Newell?s coach ?Tata? Martino to replace Tito [MARCA]

Saturday, July 20th, 2013

According to MARCA,?Bar?a have touched base with former Paraguay and Newell?s Old Boys manager Gerardo ?Tata? Martino, to consider him as Tito Vilanova?s replacement.

Currently without a club having just completed his contract with Newell?s Old Boys ? who he took to this years Copa Libertadores semi-finals ? Tata was linked with Malaga and Real Sociedad and is believed to be interested in a switch to the Spanish Primera Liga.

At the tender managing age of a half century, Tata has already managed 9 clubs, and has spent the bulk of his coaching career in Paraguay, where he notably took the Paraguay national team to the 2010 World Cup quarter finals.

A Rosario native, Newell?s is his first club, though, having played for the Lepers in 3 spells as a player.

Below is a long interview with Tata Martino, where he discusses his unorthodox and storied career.

Emmy nominations leave snubbed shows, stars behind

NEW YORK (AP) ? That cliche about awards says it's an honor just to be nominated. But what about all the worthies Emmy overlooks each year? Are they being dishonored by Emmy's neglect?

It was a question raised by Emmy's latest round of snubs as this year's nominees were announced Thursday.

HBO's magnificent "Treme"? Jilted yet again.

Same for AMC's "The Walking Dead" and HBO's "True Blood." They just seem to freak out Emmy judges.

Showtime's "Dexter" was shut out, too, with no Emmy love lost on Michael C. Hall (a past best-actor nominee five years in a row) or for Jennifer Carpenter, who, as Dexter's foul-mouthed sister, has never been nominated for one of TV's most vivid portrayals.

Anyone who saw Tatiana Maslany in BBC America's "Orphan Black" was floored by her multiple roles as identical women who were revealed to be clones. But Emmy shut its eyes to a salute for her.

FX's motorcycle drama "Sons of Anarchy" continues to get Emmy's cold shoulder, despite riveting performances from an impressive gang of actors (including Katey Sagal, who won a 2011 Golden Globe for her role as the motorcycle club's firey matriarch but, in her long career, has never snagged an Emmy nomination).

And what about "The Americans," FX's splendid Cold War-era thriller? Sure, it scored a guest-actress nod for Margo Martindale. But how to explain zero recognition for terrific performances by stars Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys (not to mention the sly supporting-actor turn by Noah Emmerich)?

Speaking of indelible supporting actors: Christopher Heyerdahl as The Swede on AMC's "Hell on Wheels," which, like Heyerdahl, was spurned by the Emmys.

And is there any point in lamenting a second year that Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman were forgotten along with their great work for AMC's "The Killing"?

Kevin Bacon's entry into series TV was received with excitement when Fox's serial-killer drama "The Following" debuted earlier this year, but it was "hold the Bacon" at the Emmys as he and his series was ignored.

What a difference a year makes: Fox's comedy "New Girl" landed two Emmy nominations last season ? for lead actress Zooey Deschanel and supporting actor Max Greenfield. They and the show got nada on Thursday.

Jon Cryer, last year's best-actor winner for the CBS comedy "Two and a Half Men," was shut out of a nomination this year.

And "Modern Family" star Eric Stonestreet, last year's winner as comedy supporting actor, failed to make the cut this year. Three of Stonestreet's cast mates on the ABC hit were named instead.

On Thursday the broadcast networks were crowing about their nominations, with ABC reaping 45 and CBS and NBC both claiming 53.

But none came close to HBO's 108, and Emmy continued to be unimpressed with the crop of new series the broadcast networks introduced the past year, in what might suggest a distressing trend.

During the 2011-12 season, only nine freshman series on the five broadcast networks got so much as a single nomination. During the 2012-13 season, that number shrank to these two major nominations for a pair of new series: Connie Britton as best actress on ABC's "Nashville," and Anthony Bourdain on ABC's "The Taste" as outstanding host of a reality-competition show.

Meanwhile, Internet TV network Netflix scored four major nominations (out of 14 in all) as it entered the Emmy fray with its new online originals: a trifecta for "House of Cards" (outstanding drama series, lead actor and lead actress) as well as outstanding lead actor for the comedy "Arrested Development."

So far in its first Emmys race, Netflix clearly feels honored.

Comic-Con 2013: Harrison Ford can't escape his past (but he's trying)

Comic-Con 2013: Harrison Ford came to Comic-Con 2013 to discuss his current movie, 'Ender's Game,' but the attendees wanted to hear about Ford's roles of decades past.

Ford made his second appearance at the all-things-geek gathering in the U.S. on Thursday to promote his new film, "Ender's Game."

But fans instead peppered the 71-year-old with questions about characters he left behind long ago.

One fan asked what might happen if Solo, the Millenium Falcon pilot from "Star Wars," met Jones, the adventure-addicted archaeologist.

"Hi, how are you?" Ford asked before shaking his head, taking off his glasses, and rubbing his eyes in a marvelous moment of comedic timing.

Another questioner, a man from Brazil who said he dreamed of being the whip-wielding Jones as a kid, asked if Solo would make a good soldier for Col. Hyrum Graff, the character Ford plays in "Ender's Game."

"You know, you and I have a lot in common. I used to dream about being Indiana Jones when I was younger. Not so much anymore," Ford said, pausing while the audience laughed. "I don't think Han Solo would be good as a soldier in anybody's army. I think he's what we call now an independent contractor."

Israel plans settlements despite EU?s tougher line

Israel is pushing ahead with West Bank settlement construction plans despite the fact US secretary of state John Kerry is in the region in an effort to finalise a formula to get Israel and the Palestinians around the negotiating table.

An Israeli planning committee yesterday approved the construction of 741 West Bank homes for Jewish settlers, most in the ultra-Orthodox community of Modi?in Elit.

The move came a day after the decision by the European Union banning European funding for Israeli enterprises in occupied territory.

It remains to be seen if the new settlement plans, which require the approval of defence minister Moshe Ya?alon, will affect Mr Kerry?s efforts to break the diplomatic deadlock. After two meetings in the Jordanian capital Amman with Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, Mr Kerry sounded optimistic that a breakthrough was close.

?We have been able to narrow these gaps very significantly. And so we continue to get closer and I continue to remain hopeful that the sides can soon be able to come and sit at the same table.?

US package
Mr Abbas was due to convene senior officials today to brief them on the American package to renew the talks, which broke down in 2010 in a dispute over Israeli settlement building.

Israel warned that the EU decree excluding all Israeli bodies operating in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Golan Heights from agreements signed with Israel will encourage Palestinian intransigence. Prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu yesterday talked by phone to a number of European leaders in an effort to persuade them to delay implementation of the decree, which is due to go into effect tomorrow.

However, Israeli officials conceded the chances were slim of changing the European decision.

Cost
Israeli economists estimated that the new decree could cost Israel hundreds of millions of euro and there was a danger that the same policy will be adopted by individual EU member states.

An Israeli official accused the EU of taking a unilateral, pro-Palestinian position, meaning Europe could no longer be considered an honest broker with a role to play in peace efforts.

Some right-wing Knesset members advocated an aggressive Israeli response, such as blocking EU-funded development projects for Palestinians or restricting the movement of European diplomats in the West Bank. They also proposed cancelling all planned gestures to the Palestinians, such as a prisoner release.

Justice minister Tzipi Livni termed the EU move a ?resounding wake-up call? for Israel. ?It is regrettable that we?ve reached this situation, but I hope that now all those who thought that it was possible to continue the impasse and who said that our situation has never been better, will realise that we must act and begin negotiations.?

A Palestinian source said the next stage was to ensure the EU enforces its directives and creates obstacles to the settlement enterprise.

Insurance - Mexico - Mexican government drafting unemployment benefits scheme

The Mexican government is drafting an unemployment benefits scheme which would require 30bn pesos (US$2.39bn) annually in tax revenue and would attend to the 575,000 workers who lose their jobs each year, said labor minister Alfonso Navarrete Prida, as reported by local newspaper El Financiero.

The benefits would kick in one month after an employee loses their job, and would provide "just over" the minimum wage for a period of three to six months. The precise length of time will be defined by consensus under the 'Pact for Mexico,' he said.

Navarrete said the government was looking at two different unemployment benefit models being used in different parts of the world: one which would be 100% funded by the government, and a tripartite system which would involve contributions from employee and employer as well as the government.

The first model would be subject to judicial approval as it would have to be included in the government's yearly budget.

Under the tripartite system the employee would contribute towards an unemployment fund, which would motivate workers to seek employment as soon as possible so as to minimize personal costs. The drawback of such a system would be the cost to the employer, said Navarrete, according to El Financiero.

As well as receiving a monthly salary above the minimum wage, the out-of-work would receive support such as training from the country's national employment service SNE, and the chance to obtain new qualifications.

Of the 575,000 Mexicans who lose their job every year, 50% find a new one within the first month, 25% find employment between two and four months later, and another 25% take more than four months to find work, said the official.
