A trio of talented actresses has been set for the period drama The Keeping Room.? It was announced today that Olivia Wilde, Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit), and Nicole Beharie (Shame) will lead the film, which takes place towards the end of the Civil War and centers on three southern women?two sisters and one African American slave?who are forced to defend their home against an onslaught of soldiers who have broken off from the approaching Union Army.? Daniel Barber (Harry Brown) will direct from a script by Julia Hart.

It?s pretty great to see a period film dealing with this heady subject matter being fronted by three strong female actresses, and I?m excited to see how the full film plays out.? Wilde has become increasingly prolific as of late, Steinfeld was nominated for an Oscar for her work in 2010?s True Grit, and Beharie had a brief yet scene-stealing performance opposite Michael Fassbender in last year?s drama Shame. Production on The Keeping Room is slated to begin in March in North Carolina.? Hit the jump to read the full press release.

Russo's Spectrum Pets in Irvine to close after nine years | pet, irvine ...

IRVINE ? In a brightly lit pet store last week, puppies scampered about in open cages, nibbling and licking the eager hands that scratched their bellies and ears.

After today, they'll be gone as the lease expires on the last store in Irvine that sells pets.

Puppies at Russo's Spectrum Pets, the last pet store selling pets in Irvine, await sale or transfer to the owner's Newport Beach pet store Wednesday.

JOSHUA SUDOCK, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

ADVERTISEMENT

At the Irvine Spectrum for nine years, Russo's Spectrum Pets is a casualty of a City Council ordinance passed last year banning the retail sale of cats and dogs. In compliance with the law, the Irvine Company said last year that it would no longer lease new space to retailers that sell cats and dogs nor would it renew Russo's lease.

The store's Newport Beach location will stay open until the lease expires in a few years. Family owned and operated since 1978, it's the last remaining original store at Fashion Island.

On weekends, the store is so packed you can barely walk through, said owner Dan DiGiacomo, who claims his stores are the main reason the Irvine Spectrum and Fashion Island are so dog-friendly today. The store lets visitors take dogs out on walks, they bring puppies to convalescent homes to cheer up seniors, and they hosted one of the first Halloween pet costume contests back in 1981.

"Someone once said to me, 'If Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth, you're a close second,'" DiGiacomo said.

After Irvine passed the ban on pet stores last year, Dana Point, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Beach and Huntington Beach followed suit with similar ordinances. Los Angeles City Council passed an ordinance last week banning the sale of commercially bred pets in stores.

Animal rights activists have long criticized pet stores for buying cats and dogs from puppy mills, where the living conditions are often condemned as inhumane. Malnourished, stressed and cramped, animals growing up in such conditions can later suffer from birth defects and behavioral problems, making them unsuitable as pets.

"We should be thinking of ourselves as guardians of these beings," said Tina Locklear, president of Orange County People for Animals, a Yorba Linda-based nonprofit that has staged protests at pet stores throughout Orange County, including Russo's.

But DiGiacomo said his store has never bought puppies from mills and has a good reputation for selling healthy pets from licensed breeders, many of whom are local.

"Because we're in shopping centers, everybody thinks we're all the same ? we're not," said DiGiacomo, who sat on an advisory committee to get the California Pet Animal Protection Act passed and on the founding committee of America's Family Pet Expo.

But in August 2011, the Irvine Co. decided to phase out pet stores anyway.

"The decision came after hearing input from interested parties as part of the city of Irvine's consideration and ultimate adoption of (the) ordinance," said Mike Lyster, Irvine Co.'s vice president of corporate communications, in an emailed statement.

Locklear said an investigation last year by the nonprofit In Defense of Animals found evidence linking Russo's to puppy mills, but she had not provided any evidence as of press time. IDA frequently conducts investigations into potential cases of animal abuse and exploitation.

Bill Dyer, director of IDA's Southern California branch, said he was not aware of any case involving Russo's.

In accordance with California law, each pet is examined by a California-certified veterinarian before it's sold, and customers receive a copy of the animal's medical history, DiGiacomo said. If a pet comes down with health problems other than parasites, the store is liable for veterinarian fees up to 150 percent of the pet's purchase price, he added.

"We're regulated," he said. "If you want to regulate us some more, let's talk, but why put us out of business?"

Councilman Jeffrey Lalloway, the sole dissenting vote last year, said he wasn't convinced that the ban would put puppy mills out of business and was reluctant to put people out of business in the current economic climate.

"It was a misguided attempt to correct an unfortunate situation," he said.

DiGiacomo said he and his family will continue to run the Fashion Island store using their savings. But about 15 people will lose their jobs at the Irvine location, and he said his family will lose half its income.

A letter from the City Council is posted on the Irvine storefront with a note from DiGiacomo signed by all the employees. Customers have come by to thank DiGiacomo for the good times and express their disappointment ? many of them hadn't heard the news last year.

And the pets? They'll move to the Newport Beach store, and as long as the doors are still open, they'll have new friends drop by to play with them.

One of way to do affiliate marketing that I want to introduce is building affiliate niche websites.

What Is An Affiliate Niche Website?
An affiliate niche website is like a normal website that provide information on certain topics (generally product reviews), but it?s designed as a landing page for potential customers before they are redirected to merchant websites. As an affiliate marketer, you will put your affiliate links or URLs on your affiliate niche website. After the potential customers are redirected to merchant websites through your affiliate URLs, they can generate money for you by every sale they make on merchant websites. As simple as that! Some of popular merchants that provide affiliate commission are eBay and Amazon.

Yes, it works. There are a lot of eBay and Amazon affiliate marketers outside there that make money more than $10,000 per month. Ok, I will give you a simple calculation.

With niche website builder tools it is achievable for you to create many websites in short time.

In conclusion, building niche affiliate websites is one of online business ideas that can be a good business opportunity for you.

Uzbek dictator's daughter has a role for Depardieu

(AP) ? French actor Gerard Depardieu will reportedly play a part in the film based on a script written by the daughter of Uzbekistan's authoritarian President Islam Karimov.

Gulnara Karimova has frequently been touted as a potential successor to her iron-fisted father who has ruled the ex-Soviet nation for 23 years. Karimova is feted back home as a diplomat, philanthropist, singer and fashion designer, but her critics say she has used her power to forcibly take over businesses across the Central Asian nation.

Uzbek filmmaker Akbar Khakimov told Olam.uz news agency Wednesday that Depardieu will play a Christian monk in the film set in Central Asia around sixth century.

Last year, New York's Fashion Week canceled a show by Karimova under pressure from human rights groups that criticized child labor in the Uzbek cotton industry.
