Seedbot Makes Your Lawn Lush Without a Lick of Gardening

Seedbot Makes Your Lawn Lush Without a Lick of Gardening

In some neighborhoods a lush green lawn is as much a status symbol the house it's in front of. It demonstrates the homeowner's hard work and dedication to maintaining every last blade of grass. And that's what makes the Seedbot even more awesome: It's a simpler shortcut to all that praise and adoration from the neighborhood association.

Smithfield Foods' CEO Larry Pope goes to Washington

Smithfield Foods CEO Larry Pope will face pointed questions in front of a swarm of journalists this afternoon.

Pope is the key witness in a Senate Agriculture Committee hearing, convened to ask whether the federal review process for foreign acquisitions of U.S. food companies is adequate.

Smithield announced in late May an offer from Shuanghui International to acquire all shares of the company's stock, but the deal must be approved by shareholders and clear federal regulatory hurdle before it's completed.

The hearing starts at 2:30 p.m. and will be webcast on the committee's website.

SKDKnickerbocker PR Firm Starts Tech/Startup Division, Led By Ti14th's Lindsey Green

lindseygreenLindsey Green, publicist to the NYC startup scene, has just been chosen as the Vice President of SKDKnickerbocker, a reputable political PR Firm that has just started an entire division focused on startups and technology. SKDKnickerbocker has been around for 20 years, providing guidance and resources to public policy groups and organizations in the New York area. But rather than start a tech/startup-focused division from the inside, the firm chose to look into the NYC startup community for someone to lead the new division. Green has been in the space for over ten years, with a breadth of experience in different genres including blogging, fashion PR, and worked as director of communications at Jill Stuart for three years. Then she migrated to Kinda Sorta Media to help focus on startup clients, before venturing to start her own firm, Ti14th. Ti14th has been around for the past three years, and even though she’s under 30 years old, she’s made quite a name for herself in the tech sphere. Some of the Ti14th clients include DailyWorth, Quotidian Ventures, Moveline, Work-Bench, and Green has also worked with Circa and HowAboutWe, among many more. Current Ti14th clients will move on over to SKDKnickerbocker with Green so that the newly formed division has a concrete base to start from. Green plans to bring the same non-traditional publicist style to the firm, but with far greater resources than before. “I try and bring a contemporary viewpoint to PR,” said Green. “With startups, I approach it in a way that fits for startups and technology, and that doesn’t mean traditional PR. I don’t do a ton of press releases, but instead focus on building relationships with journalists who are important to us. It’s all about efficient, non-traditional PR for startups.” NY companies looking for a PR firm should certainly hit up the new Green-led division of SKDKnickerbocker.

Suspect arrested with Molotov cocktails had maps to Seattle colleges, police say

Justin Jasper, 21, appears at a bail hearing on Friday in Seattle.

By Daniel Arkin and M. Alex Johnson, NBC News

Prosecutors say the Nevada man arrested near the University of Washington campus?with weapons and explosives also had anti-government propaganda and directions to three Seattle colleges.

Justin Miles Jasper, 21, is being held in King County, Wash., in lieu of $2 million bail, said the county's senior deputy prosecutor Andrew Hamilton.

King County Judge Arthur R. Chapman said at a Friday bail hearing that he considered Jasper a flight risk and a threat, according to The Associated Press.

Montana authorities said Jasper had stolen a pickup truck and several firearms from a truck driver who gave him a place to stay in Butte for the last month, the AP reported.


Authorities who searched the truck after Jasper's arrest found a stolen scoped rifle, a stolen shotgun, body armor, three knives, a machete and six Molotov cocktails, Hamilton said.

Prosecutors announced Friday that investigators had also uncovered propaganda materials -- including a recording of a podcast -- in which Jasper allegedly addressed the political upheaval in Syria and Brazil and expressed anti-government sentiments, Hamilton said.

"There was a sheet of paper that had block, printed letters. It said something to the effect of: Are you aware of the Syrian revolution?" Hamilton said. "It was definitely political in nature."

The suspect was also found with directions to three college campuses: the University of Washington, Seattle University and South Seattle Community College, Hamilton said.

After a police pursuit, Jasper was arrested near Seattle Children's Hospital late Wednesday, a short drive from the UW campus, said John Vinson, chief of the university's police department. He provided no additional details of the pursuit, but described the arrest as "high-risk."

Campus police first encountered Jasper on Tuesday when they discovered him sleeping in the stolen truck, Vinson said. A records check turned up empty, so the man was sent on his way.

But on Wednesday morning, the truck showed up as having been stolen in Montana, police said, and when it was spotted on campus around 10:30 p.m. (1:30 a.m. Thursday ET), officers gave pursuit.

Authorities said Thursday they believed there was no longer any threat to the university community, but they said the FBI had joined what they called a "very active criminal investigation."

Jasper is believed to have no ties to the Seattle area, investigators said.

98% Before Midnight

All Critics (152) | Top Critics (38) | Fresh (149) | Rotten (3)

Hawke and Delpy remain as charming as ever, and their combined goofiness is more endearing than annoying.

Love is messy here, life cannot be controlled, satisfaction is far from guaranteed. Romance is rocky at best. But romance still is.

Though "Before Midnight" is often uncomfortable to watch, it's never less than mesmerizing - and ultimately, a joy to walk with this prickly but fascinating couple again.

"Before Midnight" is heartbreaking, but not because of Jesse and Celine. It's the filmmakers' passions that seem to have cooled.

Before Midnight is fascinating to watch, and so long as Celine and Jesse are communicating, there's still hope.

How (Jesse and Celine) try to rekindle that flame is what drives Midnight, a film that feels so authentic it's like overhearing a conversation you're not sure you should be hearing.

Takes its traditional romantic tale into more insightful territories.

Hawk and Delpy know just how to get under your skin. Their onscreen alter egos fit like a glove, and witnessing their ageing, nagging, toying love is a true privilege.

What lifts Linklater's trilogy above your average dialogue-heavy indie is not just the intelligence of the conversation but its frankness and humor.

There's not a hint of melodrama or falsity in the Before series.

The 'Before' trilogy is a vacation for me. I am taken away, and it is never for long enough. I genuinely feel lucky to have these movies.

I'm not sure this is the end of Richard Linklater's 'Before' trilogy. It's perfection just as it is, but then again, Linklater has nine more years to work on the sequel.

Loving words mix with personal attacks, the magic moments with the unintended slights, as we witness the occasional desperation of imperfect people doing the best they can when life moves beyond meet-cute and courtship. That's authentic.

Linklater and his players bring an end to the fantasy and welcome the thrilling ups and bitter downs of reality to this love story.

Like the first two films, it reflects the real world in a way that seems almost preternatural. It's just that, here, the real world is a harsher, more disappointing place.

The duo, clearly so comfortable in their characters' skin, indulge in intelligent banter, sharp humour and emotional truths.

So much better written than contemporary novels, this film is a literary as well as cinematic achievement to cherish. For grown-ups.

As before, it's often very funny, with Jesse and Celine swapping Woody Allen-esque one-liners - nicely snarky, appealingly abrasive.

The acting, the dialogue and direction are superb.

None of the films is faultless in itself, but, tinted with complementary tones, the complete cycle comes as close to perfection as any trilogy in cinema history.

Marvelous. It's impossible to shake the feeling that we are merely eavesdropping on reality. Witty, wise, and -- most important of all -- truly romantic in ways that movies usually aren't.

It's been 18 years since Hawke, Delpy and Linklater introduced us to Jesse and Celine, and their story just gets richer, funnier and more punchy each time we see them. In 1995's Before Sunrise, they were idealistic 23-year-olds.

Hawke and Delpy are as believably real as any screen couple can ever be.

This is one of the few sequels for which the cliche 'eagerly awaited' is truly applicable.

Predictably, it's just as great as the first two.

By the end, Before Midnight inches towards a dawn of charm. But it's a troubled trip.
