3D movies via VUDU coming next week
Ben Drawbaugh
Picked up a new 3DTV and you're seriously bummed that there's nothing to watch? Good news if you have one of the many VUDU capable streaming devices as next week is the week when 3D movies start heading your way. Said movies will be available in all the various resolutions we've come to expect, and will require the same amount of the bandwidth as the 2D streams. This and the fact that there's no mention of HDMI 1.4a leads us to believe this here 3D is of the frame compatible variety -- not that there's anything wrong with that. The attached press release is missing our favorite details like available titles and prices, but VUDU informed us via email that Disney's Bolt, Meet the Robinsons, and Chicken Little will be first on tap and there is a $1 premium for 3D for rentals and $2 more for purchases -- typically.
VUDU Brings 3D Into The Living Room
VUDU first to stream 3D Movies directly on connected HDTVs, Blu-ray Players and Entertainment Systems from FUNAI Electronics, LG Electronics, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, Philips, PlayStationÒ3, Samsung Electronics America, Inc, Toshiba, and VIZIO and devices supporting Boxee Media Software
Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Las Vegas, NV, January 5, 2011 – VUDU, a leader in digital entertainment, will begin delivering instant streaming of 3D movies next week to select 3D-capable HD televisions (HDTVs) and Blu-ray Disc Players (BDPs). Manufacturers that will support 3D streaming from VUDU include FUNAI (Magnavox, Sylvania), LG Electronics, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, Philips, Samsung Electronics America, Inc., Toshiba, and VIZIO, as well as to the PlayStationÒ3 entertainment system and Boxee Media Software. As these manufacturers rollout their select 2011 models over the course of the year, VUDU users will have access to a growing library of 3D content on an expanding array of devices.
By adding 3D movies to its industry-leading cinematic streaming experience that already includes instant HD and HDX 1080p and Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 Surround Sound, VUDU raises the bar on home entertainment yet again.
Devices that will feature VUDU 3D movie streaming include but are not limited to the following models. Please note that Blu-ray players, STBs and entertainment systems must be connected to a 3D enabled TV to view 3D content:
· FUNAI (Magnavox and Sylvania) HDTVs and Blu-ray Players
· LG HDTVs and Blu-ray Players
· Mitsubishi HDTVs and Blu-ray Players
· Philips HDTVs and Blu-ray Players
· Select 2010 and 2011 Samsung HDTVs, Blu-ray Players and Blu-ray Home Theater Systems with Samsung Apps
· Sony PlayStationÒ3
· Toshiba HDTVs and Blu-ray Players
· VIZIO VIA HDTVs and Blu-ray Players
· Boxee Box by D-Link and Iomega TV with Boxee
"We are proud to be a leader in the delivery of 3D movies," said Edward Lichty, General Manager of VUDU. "Our launch of 3D today is another example of our commitment to deliver the best home entertainment experience available anywhere. There is no better, easier way to get 3D movies at home than through the VUDU Service."
"The biggest obstacle for the 3D market in the home in the past was the lack of 3D content, where buyers just weren't interested in a feature they couldn't use," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst for Enderle Group. "VUDU delivering 3D streaming content directly addresses this challenge and allows consumers who want to enjoy a major advance in home televisions."
VUDU's 3D title selection will be automatically available on any device that is enabled for VUDU 3D, with no additional software to download. 3D titles will be available at all three resolutions – SD (480p), HD (720p) and HDX (1080p) – and the minimum bandwidth requirements for 3D viewing are the same as for 2D.
The VUDU Streaming Movie Service provides customers with access to the world's largest catalog of more than 4,000 on-demand HD movies, and features movies in VUDU's HDX format, the best quality streaming video format with 1080p HD video and Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 surround sound available to consumers today. Movies are available to rent or own without monthly fees or a subscription. The service offers the newest Hollywood releases the same day they are available on DVD and months before they are available on subscription services.

Don't Eat the Paste: Book Reviews- two books I like for my teens.
If you have a child who is very into fairy things, into pink and loves pretty, this is the perfect cookbook for them, or for adults who still like to wear fancy hats and have tea parties with friends.
First: Format, because I didn't read carefully because I was distracted by the cover when I ordered it. It's about the size of a large coloring book, roughly 12 inches tall by 9 inches wide. It's printed in full color on decent quality paper and has a stapled binding. The paper and printing quality is a bit more than I expected for the price.
There are no basic cooking instructions in it, so it is a book to use hands on with your children who are just learning, but there are lots of children's cookbooks that explain all the tools.
The recipes themselves are simple and gorgeous. The sort of thing that any little fairy princess would be thrilled to serve at a tea party. My daughter is 14 and has basic cooking skills down pat, but this is a great one even for her for the ideas in it. The miniature cooking and whimsical look of the recipes also makes them perfect for bentos.
Cut Out Sandwiches- A simple idea that makes a great presentation and one I will use in bentos and for tea parties myself.
Mini fairy pastries- Miniature really food is just wonderful and these are flavorful enough that even my son and husband would eat them without complaining too much about the cute factor.
Another great book for children from Usborne.
The most impressive book I've seen of it's type. The projects in it are mostly inexpensive to put together and require few special skills for great results. Caution is recommended when building projectile weapons of course, but if you've got a teen or a husband who loves these sort of things, they will find something they want to try in here. My favorite projects are the tennis ball mortars and the paper match rockets. The mortars because the section explains the difference between mortars and cannons and the project itself is a wonderful hands-on experiment for trajectory and how gravity effects it. The paper match rocket is minimal supplies and easy to put together and shows how a struck match creates energy in the form of heat which launches the miniature rocket.
The science behind each project is well explained, and there is a lot of history about the scientists who came up with some of the most pivotal theories about physics and how they tested them.
Recommended with adult supervision for middle school and high school children. It's not deeply technical and it's very accessible even for teens who aren't really interested in science.
Also recommended for husbands who like to build things that go boom and are interested in science.

Judge says no to bail; Court records reveal more info about alleged hit
Mark Reagan
A Brownsville judge on Thursday again denied a Rio Grande Valley man's request for a bail reduction in a murder case that authorities say is tied to the cartel.
Janeys Martinez Sol, 47, of Weslaco, has been denied three times now after being charged with capital murder by terror threat, murder, two counts of engaging in organized criminal activity and directing the activities of a street gang.
Authorities argue Sol, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges, poses a flight risk.
According to the indictment against Sol, he employed a man named "Fernando Martinez and/or a person whose true name and identity is not known to the Grand Jury but is also known as Cacariko, to murder the complainant."
The victim, Henry Jorge Gonzalez, 35, of Mission, was shot to death, according to the indictment.
Sol is accused of causing his death on or about June 7, 2018.
Cameron County Sheriff Omar Lucio said authorities are looking for three more people in connection to the case, including an individual named Christopher Rodriguez, who is believed to be in Mexico.
"They are working to get him back," Lucio said. "But we do have a warrant for one of them. They know his name. They know where he may be right now and the others, they don't."
The indictment alleges that Sol ordered the killing because Gonzalez owed money to him for a work or service, but the charging document does not indicate what that work or service is.
The Cameron County Sheriff's Department, with the assistance of a Border Patrol K9 unit, discovered Gonzalez's body in a grave off of FM 2520 outside of San Benito.
Investigators identified Gonzalez from his tattoos, clothing and a description provided in a missing persons report.
When the victim's body was discovered on June 15, 2018, Lucio said investigators believed Gonzalez had been dead for eight to 10 days before he was found.
The investigation lead to Sol, who, according to the indictment, is a member of a criminal street gang in a leadership role.
Sol has remained in the Cameron County Carrizales-Rucker Detention Center since his arrest on $6 million in bail on the charges.
In a third attempt to reduce his bond, his attorneys, Aaron Galvan and Myles Garza, argued that Sol must be released on a personal bond or have his bail reduced because the Cameron County District Attorney's Office is not ready for trial.
Sol has been incarcerated for more than 250 days.
The DA's Office objected to the bail reduction, citing cartel ties to the case and because Sol is from Cuba.
"Your bond reduction request is denied," said 103rd state District Judge Janet Leal.
Galvan also raised an issue about Sol, whose eyes are apparently deteriorating, not being allowed to travel from the jail to a doctor for an appointment.
Leal told Galvan that since Sol is a flight risk, she will not order the sheriff's department to transport Sol to a doctor, but would sign an order allowing a doctor to visit the jail and see Sol.
Leal, who will not be available for a trial later this year, appointed Judge Leonel Alejandro to oversee the case.
A pre-trial hearing is scheduled for May 17.


I've met, taught, and corresponded with thousands of writers over the years and witnessed that no matter what we do for our day jobs, writing is our true work. It is the work of our hearts; it provides the scaffolding for our days as Annie Dillard professes, and shapes our understanding of the world. Self-help gurus espouse how we are all meant to work at what best suits us, drawing on our natural talents and abilities as self expression and to contribute to the world. This work, when we find it and do it — even if only as a hobby or amateur dabbling at first — is a key to real happiness, self-expression, or living a meaningful life.
Of course this earnest talk and wisdom about vocation has been around for a long time. But this I know about writing: it's honest and legal and fun. It's taken me years, but I'm at peace with what I do for a living and it's also taken me years to develop a practice so that I write until there was an answering silence within. I've found solace in writing the way a child finds solace in his mother's arms, a painter finds solace while working on a canvas, a cellist while playing an echoing concerto.
I've learned that if I sit here often enough, with patience and humility and willingness, then force my mind into a quiet place– and trust me, that's not easy–the work will get done. The ideas will emerge, the metaphors will be apt, the music of language will take over. And it's simple really, I'm happy when I'm writing, when I'm stirring the alchemy of words.
If you've followed my work you know that I believe that writing brings meaning to life. People unlock truths with words, dream and live stories. And in writing these truths and stories you explore your bruised or open heart, examine beliefs, understand your past, and come to grips with what it means to be human in our times and throughout history. So writing has great value for the self since it involves analysis, thoughtfulness and creativity. In writing you are evoking all the senses and making concrete the fleeting. Writing taps our deepest feelings, helps us face our mistakes and regrets, nightmares and heartbreaks, and is a means to return all the gifts we've been given.

A very interesting post with a poignant question to round it off: A must read for all concerned with health policies and the like. Whilst this post is not intended to be an answer to the question raised here, I must say that someday I intend to come back to it and write about it, especially since this is one of the areas I am interested in.
Meanwhile, head over to Humanities and Health and read this very thought provoking article.

The couple must not have been clear about whose reality they wanted the artist to create… very interesting topic.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Just to let you know that the blog hop is today and the links are on the post marked February 13th.
I missed that I guess. I need to get with that!


Goa is one of the smallest and bustling states in India. Once the sun sets among the sea so comes alive the Goa with its delicious food, lights, music which provides for the most anticipated quality time. Let us sneak peak into the must do things during the night time when you are in Goa.
The Beach life in Goa is particularly quite awesome and bustling. The most common are the Beach Shack. Though they keep open from the very morning their charm enhances once the night comes in. Such beach shacks can be visited by families, friends, and couples. The specialty is the arrangement of a bonfire- the barbeque accompanied by soothing music.
There are various night clubs in Goa. Among them, Club Tito is the oldest. Wide ranges of music are being played accompanied by a variety of cocktails and alcohol with various flavors.
Bars and pubs are found everywhere in Goa. Thanks to the liberal laws from the local government, pubs, and bars remain open till late night. Shores Bar and Guru Bar to name a few are among the top list. The budget is also within limits.
This is the market which caters to everybody's needs. It starts at 6 pm every Saturday and continues until midnight. Starting from shoes, clothes, carpets to home decoration items, everything is available within budget. It is more or less like a mini party which every shopaholic would enjoy.
Thus there are innumerable places to visit in Goa particularly during the night and the experience for the same is also unforgettable.


I love to share with you my post on the Green Tribe. I love writing for this tribe!
Do you remember that song? It gives me so much energy. To be honest, I have no clue how the rest of that song goes, but for some reason, I was thinking about that song today. While sitting here, soaking in the its energy, I realized that being empowered also means being in charge.
All of a sudden, this made so much sense to me. After some extremely busy days full of stress, I felt completely drained. I had thrown my own empowerment out of the window. I wasn't sure how I could get my huge to-do list done in one day. I knew I had to do something differently. But you probably know that on days like these, there is not much time left to think about such things at all.
So this morning, I finally had a breather. I made some coffee and sat down to think. That's when this song popped into my mind – You got the power! Woohoo! You got the power! – And yes, we do!
We do have control over our own empowerment. We do have influence on our day. We can empower ourselves.
Yes, you can be considerate, but you have to be kind and considerate to yourself as well.
There are only 24 hours in the day, so plan some self-care and self-actualisation time! Even if it is as little as 10 minutes, make sure to clear your mind and focus on yourself for a bit. Where are your thoughts leading you? Try seeing yourself from a distance.
3. What Puts A Smile On Your Face?
Thinking about what makes you smile can instantly make you happier. For me this is finding time, to listen, to coach and to write.
What is the most important "to-do" for you today? Do that thing first. After that you'll feel more creative and freer to focus on other things.
Make time to take a few deep breaths any time. You'll immediately feel calmer. Make sure to check in with yourself today.
Trust that everything that needs to be done will be done.
Being empowered means being in charge.
For me the song was a reminder to get my empowerment back. What makes you feel empowered?

I have just gotten back from a wonderful stay with my son and 2 grandchildren, This week has bee a blur of activity, unpacking, resting, appts, work at a gallery one afternoon, and Friday was going to be free to paint, but I accepted riding to Lubbock, about 150 miles, on Friday to help a friend drive his daughter's car back to store in MIdland. I've already committed to the deal but next time if I have a designated painting day, I must say no to outside events. Renee, thanks for helping me to be clear about my painting days. That helps my income!
For me today, I meditated at the end of my activities. I feel totally centered, still quiet place inside, and totally relaxed. I see where I let outside events just swallow me up, It's like I'm running on fumes. And meditation is so important for me spiritually, that I should make time every day for about 30 minutes to meditate.
Painting puts a smile in my heart and money in my pocket! And helping others increases my joy. I have 3 years of sobriety and I often share my experience, strength and hope with those new alcoholic women who are struggling to find a Power greater than themselves to restore them to sanity and serenity.
