VoideThread Project < NIghtmare on ELm Street 2010 ]




The movie review that I decided to do was on the new remake of the Freddy Krueger movie, The Nightmare on Elm Street. There were many other and older versions of this movie made. I like horror movies because I like the thrill of not knowing what was going to happen next. This remake stars Jackie Earle Haley, Kyle Gallner, Katie Cassidy, Rooney Mara, and directed by Samuel Bayer. THe movie is basically about Freddy Krueger terrorizing people in their dreams one by one. If I had to rate this movie I would give it a 4 out of 5 because I think the older versions were more graphic and it was much scarier. I don't think it lived up to it's potential.

Weekend Post ( Hawiian Legend ]



Spirits of the dead chiefs are said to still gather on the upland plains and march as night marchers in ghostly processions with drums and flutes. Listen, then hide! People call the spirits by fasting for two days, lighting a kukui-nut lamp, drinking some kukui-nut oil to cleanse the body, drinking some awa, maybe smoking a little weed. Then you call them. They will come.An ancient temple dedicated to Laka, Goddess of the Hula. The Halau Hula (House of Hula) was the training site. Dancers could not cut their hair or nails, certain foods were kapu (forbidden), and no sexual intercourse was allowed. The erotic dancing of the islands of Polynesia was intended to bring about fertility in nature. In hula lies the rich, dramatic history of Hawaii presented in sensual, visual, and audible forms.

Elbert F. Cox ; Mathamatician Project

Elbert F. Cox was the first black mathematician Ph. D. He was born December 5, 1895. he was born and raised in a college racially mixed neighborhood. His father was a school principal. In high school , Mr. Cox showed unusual ability in high school mathematics and physics and was automatically recommended to Indiana University. He graduated in 1917 and when he graduated he had COLORED printed all across his transcript. After graduating he served in World War I. When he returned he went on to pursue a career in teaching. He started instructing mathematics in a high school in Henderson, Kentucky. In 1922, he enrolled at Cornell University. When Cox's thesis adviser (William Lloyd) realized that he could have a opportunity to be the first African American to earn a Ph. D in mathematics he was fulled with joy and in 1925 that's what Cox's became. This was just 39 years after Cornell awarded someone with it's first Ph. D in mathematics. In that same year he became the head of mathematics and physics at West Virginia college. He stayed there for four years and then moved to Howard University. He retired in 1965 and then served as Chairman of the mathematics Department from 1957-1961. In 1969, he suffered from a brief illness and died in Cafritz Hospital. He was survived by his wife Beulah P. Kaufman and three sons James, Eugene, and Elbert. He is still honored today.

Weekend Post > Entertainment !

This weekend Shutter Island came out. When "Shutter Island" opened with an average grade from moviegoers of just C+, Paramount Pictures had to wonder: Did audiences genuinely dislike the movie, or were they just unsure what to think of the twist ending as they walked out of theaters?
The studio got the answer it wanted this weekend, as ticket sales for the Martin Scorsese-directed thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio declined a relatively modest 46%, indicating that word-of-mouth is pushing the picture along, rather than sinking it. "Shutter Island" easily topped the box office chart this weekend, selling a studio-estimated $22.2 million worth of tickets in the U.S. and Canada from Friday through Sunday. Of the two new nation-wide movies, Warner Bros.' "Cop Out" performed better, collecting $18.6 million, while Overture Films' horror remake "The Crazies" brought in $16.5 million. That's actually a stronger start for "Crazies," however, which cost Overture and its financing partners just under $20 million to produce while Warner spent nearly $40 million to make "Cop Out," the Kevin Smith-directed buddy comedy starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan. Movie going was sharply curtailed by a major snowstorm in the Northeast on Friday, which kept many at home. Here is how the rolling stones reviewed the "Shutter Island"

News && Media 2 < Twitter Merges w. Facebook & Google : )

Two weeks ago, Google Buzz came out of nowhere and instantly turned 175 million inboxes into a Twitter-Facebook devil child. Small non-profits didn’t see it coming. Even many of the the big brands didn’t see it coming. The same thing happened during the second half of 2009 with Twitter. Companies were busy trying to wrap their heads around the implications of outspoken customers on Twitter. Two large nonprofits I spoke with last week felt that their 2010 social media marketing plans they worked so hard on were now all but useless. Kudos for them for recognizing the clunking sound of a shoe on a hardwood floor.

Stokes' ownership stake will jump to 68% in the combined entity, which is to be renamed Seven Group Holdings Ltd. He currently owns 48% of Seven Networks after selling the majority of his media assets to the private equity group Kohlberg Kravis Roberts in 2006. The transaction substantially repositions Seven from an investment holding company to part of a diversified operating group owning market leading businesses with attractive growth outlooks," Seven Network said in a statement. Seven Network's media interests include various stakes in television, magazines and newspaper assets, whereas WesTrac sells Caterpillarconstruction and mining equipment in Australia and northeast China.

( My Weekend - Education ]

This weekend I read something about a girl in another state getting locked up for doodling on the desk. She said that she could erase it but instead of them listening to her, they locked her up on a count of assault. When she called her mother and told her mother what she had gotten put in jail for, her mother was shocked. She said that it was very unnecessary. was fun. I had fun all weekend. On saturday, I went out with my besties && family from my junior high school. We went to 42nd st. We went to the movies and to red lobsters to eat. I saw the movie called the fourth kind. It was based on a true story (that what it said on the t.v.) based on alien abductions. I thought it was scary because it was true && it showed recordings && tapings of the real people being abducted by the "fourth kind". Yesterday I went out with my godmother && my other cousins. We went shopping && out to eat. My weekend was great && full of fun * _ [ =) =D X-D ) _ * Fox News
