			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Life isn’t all that simple these days, and even if you think you’re safe from burglars, you do hear of horror stories from neighbors and friends on getting their homes ransacked when they go off for a holiday. Well, necessity being the mother of all invention has caused Laurence Rook, a 13-year old boy to invent a doorbell which is smart enough to trick potential burglars into thinking that you are at home, never mind that you are halfway around the world.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/06/smart-bell-doorbell/"><img src='http://www.madblackcat.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/smart-bell.jpg' alt='' /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Calling it the ‘Smart Bell’, it will actually call your handset whenever someone rings on your doorbell, letting you hold a conversation with whoever is at the door. Neat! Just make sure that you have roaming turned on and are prepared to pay obscene roaming charges if you’re overseas, but otherwise, this is the perfect out-of-town solution if you do not want to be thought of as being away.</p>
<p>Apart from that, the doorbell comes in pretty handy to assist delivery workers in completing their deliveries. Rook has already sold 20,000 units to communications firm Commtel Innovate, and might see him sell another 25,000 more to an unidentified firm, making him 250,000 pounds richer in the process.</p>

<p>Worried About The Boy tells the story of a young Boy George who dreams of living a life filled with originality and passion, and of becoming a star in the Eighties fashion and pop music scene.</p>
<p>Growing up as a teenager, George O&#8217;Dowd realises he is not like other boys his own age. He is sharp-witted, independent-minded and has a passion for clothes and make-up.</p>
<p>Leaving the London suburbs for the smoke of the city he soon becomes a fixture at the infamous Blitz Club – the favourite haunt of those at the forefront of the New Romantic movement.</p>
<p>Nightclub pioneer and Visage front-man Steve Strange offers George a job as cloakroom attendant at the Blitz. There, he meets Kirk, lead singer of Theatre Of Hate and George&#8217;s first true love, who inspires him to write his own music.</p>
<p>George approaches music impresario Malcolm McLaren, who agrees to give him the chance to be part of a band. Having failed to fit in with the other band members, he is approached by Mikey, who invites George to be the lead singer of a band he&#8217;s setting up.</p>
<p>A chance meeting with Jon Moss leads to him joining the band as drummer – and to a short and passionate affair with George. Along with Roy Hay on guitar, the band is edging towards professionalism and Culture Club is complete.</p>
<p>Set at the heart of the changing music scene in the Eighties, Worried About The Boy is as much about Boy George&#8217;s emotional development and constant search for love as it is about his ambition and career.</p>
<p>The drama reflects on an iconic and influential star and the cultural era he is synonymous with.</p>
<p>Talented newcomer Douglas Booth plays Boy George, Marc Warren (Hustle, Mutual Friends) plays nightclub pioneer and Visage front-man Steve Strange, Richard Madden (Hope Springs) plays Kirk, Mark Gatiss (The League Of Gentlemen, Crooked House) plays music impresario Malcolm McLaren, Dean Fagan plays Mikey, Mathew Horne (Gavin And Stacey, The Catherine Tate Show) plays Jon Moss and Jonny Burt (Fanny Hill, Casualty) plays Roy Hay.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://www.madblackcat.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/446boy1.jpg"><img src="http://www.madblackcat.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/446boy1-300x168.jpg" alt="" title="446boy1" width="300" height="168" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-7737" /></a>Filmed in and around Manchester, Worried About The Boy, Red Production Company&#8217;s one-off drama for BBC Two, is based on the story of a young Boy George and his journey from cloakroom attendant to international cultural icon, set against the backdrop of the flamboyant fashion and pop music scene of the early-Eighties.</p>
<p>With a passion for fashion, make-up and music, George O&#8217;Dowd realised he was not like the other boys his age. Director Julian Jarrold describes him in the drama as: &#8220;Charming, witty, vulnerable and a bit of an exhibitionist.&#8221;</p>
<p>Leaving the suburbs of Eltham for the smoke of the city, George soon became a fixture at the infamous Blitz Club, the favourite haunt of those at the forefront of the New Romantic movement.</p>
<p>Jarrold continues: &#8220;We concentrate on this small group – &#8216;the cult with no name&#8217; – who dressed up, made up, partied and ushered in the New Romantic movement. They lit up a grey world with their outlandish and exotic dress sense.&#8221;</p>
<p>Recreating the distinctive look of the period was one of the most challenging aspects of the shoot.</p>
<p>&#8220;Part of the fun of the script, and one of its greatest challenges, was that George and his friends had to have a different look for virtually every scene. And these looks had to be accurate as this world is extremely well documented.</p>
<p>&#8220;Fortunately, I met Donald McInnes (hair and make-up designer), who had actually done George&#8217;s make up in the Eighties and Annie Symons (costume designer), who had been a Blitz regular during this period, so we were well served. Their expertise was indispensible – especially recreating crowd scenes in the Blitz where everyone had to look authentic.&#8221;</p>
<p>Written by Tony Basgallop (Hotel Babylon; Hughie Green, Most Sincerely) and directed by Julian Jarrold (Red Riding, Brideshead Revisited), Worried About The Boy explores George&#8217;s life before he become one of the most recognised faces of the decade – from falling in love for the first time, to embracing his unique style, to meeting his Culture Club bandmates.</p>
<p>Talented newcomer Douglas Booth stars as George, Mathew Horne (Gavin And Stacey, The Catherine Tate Show) is Culture Club drummer and George&#8217;s former lover Jon Moss, Marc Warren (Hustle, Mutual Friends) plays nightclub pioneer and Visage front-man Steve Strange, Mark Gatiss (The League Of Gentlemen, Crooked House) is music impresario Malcolm McLaren and Freddie Fox (St Trinian&#8217;s II) plays Eighties pop star Marilyn.</p>
<p>Julian was incredibly impressed by his leading man: &#8220;Douglas gives an extraordinary nuanced lead performance. He is incredibly talented. He really captures the youthful George with great charm and wit – I would hope the real George will be completely won over! He also portrays his later years with maturity and poignancy.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just hope that by now his eyebrows have grown back and his face has recovered from wearing those many layers of makeup for 12 hours a day!&#8221;</p>
