A home fit for a future king! While Kate Middleton has not been seen since she returned home from the royal tour Down Under, the Duchess of Cambridge has a fine excuse for clearing her schedule: she's busy putting the final touches on the couple's country home at Anmer Hall.

So many beds to make. Renovations at Anmer Hall, in Norfolk - Prince William and Kate's 10-bedroom country home - are nearing completion with the recent addition of a critical extension, as well as a new roof. The home, 120 miles north of London, is a gift from William's grandmother Queen Elizabeth, with the costly renovations borne by the royal family. Kate, meanwhile, has thrown herself into overseeing the last of the preparations since her recent return from New Zealand and Australia. Vital work has been done on the so-called "garden room," 16'x16' glass-fronted room, with windows raised within the roof.

Many historic colleges have spooky reputations (like the allegedly haunted library at Penn State), but it's rare that a single university has a history of not just one or two, but multiple hauntings. Such is the case of the University of Georgia campus in Athens, which according to local lore is harboring a wide assortment of ghosts. Photo: Beautiful Chapter At least two sorority houses on the campus are said to be haunted, including the Alpha Delta Gamma house (above), which once served as home to former state senator James Yancey Carithers, whose daughter Susie hung herself in the attic after being jilted by her groom-to-be. According to the student paper Red & Black, many members of Alpha Delta Gamma have embraced the legend, claiming that anyone living in the “Engagement Suite,” where Susie was believed to have stayed before her death, would oddly enough become lucky in love.

Anmer Hall in Sandringham, which has been gifted to Prince William and Kate by his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, is about to undergo a major revamp that will transform it from a formal nine-bedroom Georgian pile into the perfect getaway for the young royal family to enjoy.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are to have a new 'garden room' built at Anmer Hall. The royal couple are set to be gifted the nine bedroom property on the royal Sandringham estate in Norfolk but changes will be made, including the building of the new room, by architect Charles Morris. Morris is a friend of the Prince of Wales - Prince William's father - after he designed the Orchard Room at his Highgrove estate. He will also supervise the re-routing of the mansion's main driveway to give the couple more privacy and the conversion of outbuildings for use by their security staff. Planning permission has been granted to the Queen by King's Lynn and West Norfolk Council, but...

The films may sometimes wobble but local people in Headingley pack the place out for classic movie nights - and regular shows. Guest blogger Jill Armstrong is one of them
The Olympic Games may have been grabbing most peoples' attention at the weekend but in Headingley, Leeds, there was something else rather special going on.
On Sunday the venerable Cottage Road cinema celebrated its 100th birthday. The playwright Kay Mellor, who lives nearby, was unveiled a Leeds Civic Trust blue plaque; there was a poetic tribute entitled Havoc in Far Headingley by Linda Marshall,who is also local, followed by the showing of a classic film, The Smallest Show on Earth.
The Cottage Road is the oldest cinema in Leeds and probably one of the oldest cinemas in the country to have been open and continuously showing films since 1912. It is also one of the few remaining independently run cinemas in the country.

The Sundance Film Festival is the largest independent cinema festival in the United States. Held in January in Park City, Salt Lake City, the festival is a showcase for new work from American and international independent filmmakers. The Festival has changed over the decades from a low-profile venue for small-budget, independent creators from outside the Hollywood system to a media extravaganza for Hollywood celebrity actors, paparazzi, and luxury lounges set up by companies that are not affiliated with Sundance.
Now the festival is getting ready for the 2012 edition and today they announced the jury members for this year’s Festival. They include Shari Berman, Scott Burns, Charles Ferguson, Nick Fraser, Mike Judge, Justin Lin, Anthony Mackie, Cliff Martinez, Julia Ormond, Dee Rees and Lynn Shelton.
Here is the official press release:

Do you want to feel angry? Do you want to feel upset and sick to your stomach and generally frustrated with the United States government and the banks it is currently protecting? Well, Inside Job might be the film for you. Inside Job won Best Feature-Length Documentary this year, and while I adored the heavily favored Exit Through the Gift Shop, I am glad that the Academy chose at least one culturally-relevant film to honor and highlight in 2011. (I am looking at you, The King's Speech. I am onto you, British period pieces.) Inside Job is a cautionary tale that is retold only a few years after it happened, and if Americans watch it now and understand its message, we can do something. I hope that people watch Inside Job now, not later, and they get fired up because we need to call corporate greed what it is: unacceptable.

Speakeasy caught up with Ferguson to discuss his plans to publish a book examining the market meltdown, his Oscar win, and the acceptance speech he gave in which he suggested from the stage that more financial executives should be in prison.

Charles Ferguson's exemplary documentary about the USA's recent banking crisis is intelligent and jaw-dropping
Ingmar Bergman once recalled the seminal experience of watching Danish TV in the 1950s in Sweden (he was then head of Malmö's municipal theatre). He became fascinated by talking heads and how truly cinematic they were. His observation is brought to mind by the most widely discussed films of recent weeks. None involves special effects or leans heavily on violent action. Instead, they centre on people talking, on what we deduce from their appearance, facial expressions and body language. I'm thinking of The King's Speech, The Social Network, Of Gods and Men and True Grit. To these we can now add Charles Ferguson's exemplary documentary Inside Job.

How did the financial crash of 2008 happen? This documentary, narrated by Matt Damon, does a good job of explaining a complex story of credit and discredit
"If you're growing, you're not in recession … right?" The speaker is Hank Paulson, the former Us treasury secretary, and, as it happens, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs. In Charles Ferguson's documentary about the great financial crash, Paulson's shrugging remark sums up the attitude of the super-rich banking apparatchiks and their eager political supporters. As long as the bubble's getting bigger, there's no worry about the bubble contracting … right? But that is not what happens to bubbles. In 2008, the pop was heard around the world.
This film is as gripping as any thriller. Aided by some fascinating interviews, Ferguson lays out an awful story. In the 1980s, the markets and financial services were deregulated, and the driving force for this liberalisation was Alan Greenspan,...
