So, this is an independent release?
It is. It’s on our own label called Mega Collider Records. I really feel like I have my feet under me now. So we don’t have to go out and ask permission and we don’t have to have a committee and we don’t have to have our image shaped and created for us by people who know better. So, it’s really kind of a great time.
You guys have maintained a loyal fanbase over the years.
I think we’re a band who has had its identity returned to it by a new generation of fans. There’s something always a bit subversive in what we’re doing. We got disassociated from our own image by all the layers of the machinery that was saying to us, “There’s a lot of money in Third Eye Blind.” Then, what happened was ...
I want to ask you about the ’90s revival.
I would like to politely opt out of being any part of a revival. I don’t associate myself or any of my sensibilities with the ’90s. That’s not where my head is at at all. I’m interested in 2010. I know in ’97 there was a real dent in popular culture, but most of our records have come out in the 2000s. I’ve never had an...
How old are you now?
I’m way younger than Madonna and in nowhere near as good of shape.
You had a lot of high-profile girlfriends like Charlize Theron, Winona Ryder and Vanessa Carlton — how do you feel about being a ladies’ man?
Well, you’re leaving several out.
Who did I leave out?
I’m not going to tell you and neither will any of them. Well, those are all three completely lovely people. I don’t know — I love women. I’m inspired. But I’m not a big fan of the public relationship.
Fax machines come with options that help small businesses save money.
4 Why Should You Use a Business Memo?
Today’s fast-paced work environment complete with computers as well as cell and smart phones makes fax machines seem a bit outdated. But the machines offer multiple uses that might still be ideal for your office. Small businesses, in particular, find fax machines offer an array of options that eliminate the need to pur...
Fax machines make sending and receiving documents a quick alternative to sending and receiving them via postal mail or other delivery services. Items that require a signature can easily be handled via a fax. Sending or receiving information about a project or details about product or service gives you or the recipient ...
Some companies use fax broadcasting to increase prospects and make more sales. These affordable efforts come in particularly useful if your target market is more likely to pick up a fax rather than an email. The faxes are sent to a programmed list of phone numbers all at once, letting the machine handle dialing each nu...
A fax machine can also function as a photocopier. The cost for using your fax machine to copy documents gets expensive because the cartridges or toner required for most fax machines cost more than that required by a photocopier. If you only need an occasional copy, tough, a fax machine saves the expense of buying a pho...
Some fax machines come with the option to print documents. The fax machine needs to be connected to your computer so you can send the document from your computer to the fax machine to print. The toner used in a printer tends to cost much less than that used in a fax machine, so printing via fax machine is usually limit...

Five policemen were injured after an improvised explosive device detonated late Monday on the outskirts of Manama, Bahrain.
The bomb exploded during Ashura, a Shia holiday marked in the Northern Governorate of Bahrain, and targeted the personnel who were performing security for an Ashoora procession in Daih on the Budaiya Highway.
Bahrain’s Speaker of the Council of Representatives, Ahmed bin Ibrahim Al-Mulla, on Tuesday condemned the terrorist attack.
“It was a cowardly act carried out by terrorist murderers whose aim is to subvert the kingdom’s security and stability and intimidate secure citizens and residents,” Al-Mulla said, stressing that the terrorist attack will strengthen Bahrainis’ unity and rallying behind the leadership.
Additionally, Al-Mulla said that such terrorist acts will not affect the unity of the Bahraini people’s segments, religious and components, stressing that it will strengthen Bahrainis’ cohesion and cooperation with the state to confront whoever seeks to put national security and stability at risk.
Al-Mulla stressed that religious freedoms are guaranteed in Bahrain, and enjoy the care and support of the state, and no one will be allowed to use them to achieve non-national goals.
The majority of Bahrain’s citizens are Shiite Muslims, although the al-Khalifa monarchy is Sunni.
Local media is reporting that Saudi Arabia has condemned the attack and offered its full support to Bahrain to fight terrorism.

The Story: An attempt at creating an origins story for Peter Pan. The Lowdown: A deeply disappointing film from an incredibly talented filmmaker. It sometimes works. More often, it doesn't. It's mostly watchable, but it's a lot of fuss over not much. Think of it as Peter Pan: The YA Years.
If you were to tell me that there was a movie that told the story of Peter Pan as an orphan sold into slavery by evil nuns and parceled off to Neverland by pirates in a flying galleon, I’d be intrigued. If you then told me that he’d be forced — with a lot of other lost boys of varying ages who sing “Smells Like Teen Sp...
Despite having been underwhelmed by the trailer, I really had held out some hope for Pan. I knew the critical populace had been down on it, but that mattered little (if at all) to me. This was, after all, a Joe Wright picture, and I have liked everything (well, not so much 2009’s The Soloist) he’s made — except for Ann...
Wright has said that he made Pan for his children. The last time I heard a filmmaker say that was when Roman Polanski made his 2005 Oliver Twist. The results there were a solid enough version of the story with no real personality. Pan has personality, but isn’t solid in any sense of the concept. It’s certainly busy — a...
What is most dismaying, though, is that Pan — with all its bright colors and strange imagery — isn’t all that stylish. That’s something I never thought I’d say about a Joe Wright film. Here, however, so much of the movie is given over to CGI effects that it loses any individual signature. The effects are driving the bi...
In the end, what we’re left with is a collection of odd ideas that never seem moored to much of anything. You get some Nirvana here, some Ramones there, a little bit of steampunk tossed in and … what? Because of the anachronistic pop songs, it’s been inevitably likened to Baz Luhrmann. But where Luhrmann could weave su...
so much of the movie is given over to CGI effects that it loses any individual signature.
And outdated-looking CGI at that.
The issue there for me is both Wright’s reliance on CGI and it not looking all that great. Plus, it was time for him to do another long, insanely difficult tracking shot and he did not deliver.
It’s a little unfair to blame the quality of the CGI on Wright, since he probably had no say in the matter.
You’ve got to think he saw some preliminary work, though.
Doesn’t mean he could do anything about it — not at that budget. Thing is I don’t think it would have even mattered if he’d gotten a handle on the tone of the movie — it hardly needed to look real — but he didn’t.
I didn’t need it to look real – but I would have preferred it not look cheap.
Wow. This is the kindest review I have seen on the internet. 90% of them are calling this worst of the year. There seems to be real hate for this one.
Awkward and unfortunate as it is, it’s really nowhere close to being worst of the year material. I’d much rather watch it again than revisit Spy, Trainwreck or Fast and Furious 7.
1.) The review isn’t kind. It is, however, carefully considered.
I agree with that. Those movies are pretty bad.

SMILEY or sober? That’s the choice this fall if you go by a quartet of artsy designers who showed yesterday.
Vera Wang, who often gets her inspiration for collections from the art world, invoked Peggy Guggenheim and her life in Venice.
There is nothing cooler for the sophisticated Manhattanite who can afford them, than to stand around at a benefit in one of Wang’s lean tank dresses in a luxe tech fabric, with black tights, booties and an antique rhinestone belt.
Over at Calvin Klein, designer of the year winner Francisco Costa continues to explore the architecture of clothes.
Like others at the tents, he’s part of the revival of asymmetry, playing around with the collars on coats, and cutting out a crescent shape from the front of dresses and coats.
In between these intellectual exercises in zeitgeist, Isaac Mizrahi’s show was like a fistful of Xanax.
FASHION BUZZ: A Nose For Fashion Week?

Impeachment remains the biggest check on president's power, Giuliani says.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani argued on Sunday that the president has broad constitutional powers as it relates to the special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign, including the authority to end the investigation or even pardon himself.
But Giuliani said that the president was unlikely to do either because both would be a path to impeachment.
"You might want to say he has very broad powers and somebody who wants to question that under Article Two has a big, big burden of showing that there is no innocent explanation for what he did," Giuliani said on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday. "They just can't do that. So I would like to convince them to exercise som...
Giuliani's comments represented an extension of a legal argument outlined in a 20-page memo leaked to the press over the weekend that Trump's legal team sent to special counsel Robert Mueller.
He said Trump could put an end to the investigation all together, saying "it sure looks" like that is within the president's constitutional authority.
As for potentially pardoning himself, Giuliani said he can legally do so: "Nothing limits the presidential pardon."
But he added the president wouldn't do it because of the repercussions. "The president of the United States pardoning himself would just be unthinkable. And it would lead to probably an immediate impeachment," he said. "President Trump has no need to do that. He didn’t do anything wrong."
Giuliani said the only check on the president is Congress. And he argued there was no reason for the president to exercise such powers on the issue of obstruction because "we can win it on the facts."
Trump's team are still negotiating the terms of a potential interview with Mueller. Giuliani, the latest attorney added to Trump's legal team, said he doesn't think the president should sit for an interview but that Trump wants to.
He said he'd advise Trump to testify only if they agree to a "narrow" set of conditions and if the special counsel's office has an "open mind."

Worth more than the market cap of the New York Times, Peter Thiel would have been a famous investor eventually. But it was his $US500,000 bet on Facebook for 10.2% of the social network that will go down as one of venture capital’s all-time greatest punts.
