STATEN
ISLAND, N.Y. -- The Sandy-damaged home at 602 Seaview Ave., currently undergoing
renovation, was crowded with out-of-town volunteers and media yesterday to
celebrate and publicize the $1,000 grant that the nonprofit Citizens Committee
for New York City awarded to Boots on the Ground.
Native Staten Islander and New Springville resident Mike "Loco" Hoffman founded Boots on the Ground in the immediate aftermath of October's Hurricane Sandy.

Work crews have provided free-of-charge services, from gutting to mold remediation, to hundreds of homeowners with storm-damaged properties.

Ender's Game directed Gavin Hood probably couldn't have picked a better snippet to tease us for the anticipated first poster for the feature adaptation of Orson Scott Card's popular sci-fi novel. What we're seeing appears to be the back of a set of boots and in between them, the words "Warning: Null G Beyond This…" (line). We've actually seen that piece of the set already, but with the boots there, it's evident that Ender is prepared to step beyond that line and into the zero gravity battle room, where the game is most definitely on.
Ender's Game is set in the future when man is at war with an alien race. The best and brightest children are sent off to a space-set battle school where they take classes and play games to prepare to fight in the coming war. The story follows Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), a compassionate, underdog of a kid who's something of a tactical genius, which proves particularly useful at battle school.
Director Gavin Hood posted the above glimpse of the poster, which will make its full debut tomorrow. And if that tease isn't enough to whet your appetite, he says the battle room scenes are going to blow our mind.
