Exhibition Venues in Jakarta
As Capital of the Republic of Indonesia, Jakarta does not only serve as the center of government of this nation but also plays a most vital role in the country's commerce, business and the entertainment industry. The metropolitan city itself is a showcase that reflects the diverse dynamic activities of Indonesia, and is a magnet drawing different peoples, industries, and cultures in a massive interaction through exhibitions, cultural shows, fashion and music.
Over the years the city has hosted numerous important national and international exhibitions. The city has also become the venue for some of the world's greatest arts and musical performances and continues to attract more and more international celebrities to meet their never ending enthusiastic fans in Indonesia.
Here are some of the renowned venues in Jakarta fit for large-scale world class exhibitions and shows:

Here is also the Jakarta International Convention Center complete with adjacent supporting hotels and Indonesia's National Television station, TVRI. Built for the 1962 Asian Games by President Sukarno the complex is both a historical memento, and a national pride. Not only is this complex an arena for athletes, it has also become a renowned venue for entertainment, exhibitions and conventions. High profile exhibitions and some of the legendary musical performances have taken place in this complex as it provides massive capacity and all the facilities needed to stage such events.

U.S. History
Jim Crow policies and the eugenics-tinged racial purity theories behind them were at the heart of progressivism, something that few progressives today are willing to acknowledge.
Big GovernmentU.S. HistoryMonopoly and Competition
There is almost no economic problem, real or imagined, that cannot be made worse by inappropriate government regulation. Antitrust is no exception.
The increasing importance of elite higher education is a symptom of "political capitalism" in which success is determined by political connections rather than by the satisfaction of consumer preferences in the marketplace.
Cronyism and CorporatismU.S. EconomyMonopoly and Competition
In their war on "monopolies," Progressives like Elizabeth Warren show they don't understand the history of anti-monopoly legislation, and they also don't understand that modern day "monopolies" aren't really monopolies at all.

Keep rudeness out of Court Square
[RE: "$250 furor: Slave auction stirs passions," December 2]:
500 Court Square has been my home for 15 years. During that time, we have welcomed all into our neighborhood festival participants, historical re-enactors, concert goers, performance artists, street musicians, historic tour walkers, and the like.
There have been some instances of rudeness from visitors towards residents, but the Rev. Mark Beliles's behavior mystifies me. He knows better.
Regarding the Jeffersonian Thanksgiving Festival complete with a Revolutionary camp which took place literally in my front yard, I personally find it offensive to see slaves represented as free. Factually, there were no freed slaves during the time of the Revolution.
In 1775 over 800 indentured slaves fled Virginia and joined Lord Dunmore on the British side. Dunmore did not indiscriminately free the slaves. Only those able and willing to bear arms were invited to join him, not women, children, or those too old or infirm to fight. That does not translate into my confronting the Rev. Beliles and calling him a racist.
The Rev. Beliles's right to misrepresent history is ensured by the Constitution. That said, I consider the Rev. Beliles's presence in my neighborhood a privilege which he has sorely abused.
He may disagree with Anson Parker's and Scottie B. Williams's realistic reenactment of the slave block. But calling a black man, a son of slaves, a "racist" is intolerable to me.
The Charlottesville Albemarle County Conventions & Visitors Bureau describes the slave block as a place "where auctions of slaves took place" and says it "should serve as a reminder of the shameful and racist attitudes of the community during much of our early history." Well said!
In the spirit of Southern hospitality, I implore visitors to conduct themselves with civility. Name calling and rudeness are not acceptable in my neighborhood. Behave otherwise, and you are not welcome.

Our values
Improving lives and loving our planet
At the very heart of our mission are our strong belief that we are in this world to make it better by improving lives and loving our planet. Our values serve as an ethical compass that provides us with guidance and direction – both for the conduct of our company, as well as for the behavior of each employee
The banana is the world's fourth most important food crop after rice, wheat and maize. more than 10 billion of our bananas are eaten every year.
Including our farm employees and those of our suppliers, approximately 40,000 men and women in Latin America depend on our banana business, not to mention their families and local communities. They are the basis of our success and the people behind the brand.
This is why our commitment to them is to provide a safe workplace that respects their rights in each of the following areas:
Wages and Benefits
Wages at Chiquita's Latin American farms are not only above the legal minimum wage – on average 50% above the legal minimum wage – they are also 16% above the SA8000 living wage calculation. We believe Chiquita employees in the Tropics enjoy some of the best wages, benefits and working conditions in the banana industry.
We also believe in providing our employees with an opportunity to become homeowners. In the 1990s, Chiquita began an employee home ownership program that has enabled our employees in Honduras, Guatemala and Costa Rica to become independent homeowners.
More than 2,000 Chiquita employees have become owners of new homes, and more than 3,000 employees now own refurbished company housing. In Honduras, the home ownership program was recognized by the Organization of American States (OAS) with a 2004 Corporate Citizen of the Americas Award
We believe it is our duty to ensure our employees' children have access to education. Historically, Chiquita has always encouraged the education of our employees' children by building schools within the communities where our employees live.
In almost all cases, those schools have now been handed over to local governments, but our commitment to education remains. Support for the education of our employees' children is included in all our Trade Union agreements.
Training and Education
The more than 20,000 men and women who work at Chiquita come from many countries and cultures and speak numerous languages. We strive to make sure everyone at Chiquita understands their rights and responsibilities, our health and safety procedures and that they are encouraged to express their opinions.
Our employees receive training several times a year to make sure that every one, whether we work on the farm or in management, understands our professional responsibilities.
Certifications by the Rainforest Alliance and SA8000 require us to provide our employees with environmental and health and safety education. However, the training topics vary to reflect different jobs throughout our company.
Training is provided through live, webcast, written and online courses. Extensive online training is provided to employees who have email access (whether farm managers, foremen or office-based employees). Employees, who do not have computer access, receive training in person.
Workers Health & Wellbeing
Working on a farm requires having a strong commitment to employee safety to ensure safe usage of agrichemicals, large machinery, sharp tools and the lifting and moving of heavy produce, often over uneven ground.
For our company to function well, we need motivated and healthy employees which is why we do the best we can to make sure their workplaces are as safe as possible.
We don't like using agrichemicals but sometimes they are the only means to successfully control pests, weeds and diseases that thrive in the hot and humid climate and fertile soils of tropical Latin America. Indeed, positive careful use of the lowest toxicity agrichemicals effectively enables us to produce bananas and provide many jobs.
Equal Rights Protection
Regardless of gender, age, disability or orientation we believe in treating ALL our employees equally and with respect. Women make an important contribution to Chiquita's banana operations. Approximately 2,800 women, or about 16 percent of total employees, work in our Latin America production operations.
In 2011, Chiquita and trade unions formed the IUF/COLSIBA/Chiquita Women's Committee, which seeks to improve opportunities available to women by supporting their personal and professional development.
We have worked hard to create a safe working environment for female employees so that they can carry out their work free from all forms of harassment, bullying or discrimination. This includes training for all our employees, without exception, on discrimination and respect for gender as well as providing a clear reporting procedure for handling employee complaints.
Our business success relies on our employees, which is why we make our employees' well-being part of our Core Values. We encourage all our employees to raise questions and concerns to their supervisors, our Human Resources personnel or through Chiquita's confidential and independently run Helpline.
Anyone who, in good faith, raises a concern, reports misconduct or participates in an investigation, is protected from retaliation.

Following hot on the heels of last year's mighty Formula One 2002, Formula One 2003 continues to refine the experience, and makes for the finest Grand Prix simulation yet seen on PlayStation 2. Now totally exclusive to PS2, the latest instalment features all the 2003 season liveries on the cars, correct driver rosters and even the track alterations that have been made to the Hungaroring and Suzuka circuits. You'll also find that all the new rules and regulations that have been introduced to the sport - and made this season arguably the most thrilling for both spectators and drivers for many years - have been implemented, such as the one-shot Friday and Saturday qualifying laps. With an extremely strong engine already in place, developer Studio Liverpool has been able to turbo charge everything from the visuals to the AI of your rival drivers. Whether you're after pure white-knuckle arcade excitement or something a little more in-depth and realistic, Formula One 2003 has everything you could possibly wish for.
So what steps have been taken to ensure that Formula One 2003 is the most authentic recreation of the sport yet seen on console? On a purely superficial level, the tracks, environments, cars and drivers have all enjoyed a significant increase in detail, and a number of new reflection and weather effects have been included. Slightly more subtly, all of the engine sounds have been re-recorded to make them roar with even more power and make them even more detailed - true audiophiles will appreciate touches such as the sound of transmission whining when you shift down a gear. Look beneath the shiny exterior, however, and you'll find that the handling has been tightened to make taking those corners at high speed an even more hair-raising experience, and the computer AI has been enhanced to make it feel like you're really racing against living, breathing human opposition.
As in Formula One 2002, you can choose between Arcade and Simulation game modes; people who prefer to get straight on to the track without any fuss should go for the former, while who want all of the depth, detail and strategy of the real thing should dash to the latter. From here, though, you have access to a further ten single and multiplayer modes: Arcade Single Race, Arcade Championship, Simulation Custom Race, Simulation Race Weekend, Simulation World Championship, Time Attack, Arcade Head 2 Head, Simulation 2-Player Race Weekend, 1-4 Player Hot Seat and the brand new Multiplayer Time Attack. The non-interactive Spectator mode takes the grand total to a whopping 11.
Formula One 2003 is the first fruit of a deal signed between SCEE and the Formula One governing body, which means that if you want to get behind the wheel of a totally authentic F1 experience over the next four years, you'll only find it on a PlayStation console. Which is quite lucky considering that the latest instalment is without doubt the greatest F1 console title on the planet, don't you think? Unparalleled attention to detail, superior handling and AI, and more modes than you'll know what to do with - Formula One 2003 takes the chequered flag whichever way you look at it.

I just filed bug #11065 on this. I thought it had been filed before, but I couldn't find it in the system, so now's as good a time as ever.
When the home stack launches it opens a new LiveCode process with the "install -update" arguments. This process is opened "for neither", and according to the "open process" docs if a process is started for read, write, or update it is killed when the app exits. But since the updater process is opened for "neither" it just stays around in memory after LiveCode exits. And a new process is launched when you launch LiveCode again. The end result is that I have to go through the process list with "ps ax | grep livecode" and kill -9 the leftover processes.
I changed the home stack script to launch the process "for update" and the problem goes away, but I don't know if that's because the updater completed successfully and didn't find an update or because the updater failed.
Seems like this is much too easy a solution not to have been tried and rejected before, so I'm guessing I'm missing something.
linux updater process never dies

Thanks to Suz for the tip!
Gregory Jbara (who plays Les in "Remember Me") confirmed on his Official website that The Paris Theatre in Manhattan will be the venue for the "Remember Me" Premiere on March 1st.
OMG!! THANK YOU! CullenLover07, my friend Sharon, and I are going to NY and this is what we really needed to hear!
now for a bit of begging...does ANYONE know how to get us INTO the premiere??? we would need 3 seats
I know begging is pitiful, but it was worth a shot, right?
I'm not far from NY but on the off chance I ever was able to go, and actually see him in person, I really think my pants would explode.
OMG! Deep breaths, deep breaths. This is really happening. I am going to do some recon on this place and what's around there.
Watch out Robert Thomas Pattinson, here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Suz for the tip!
CL- I'm trying to breathe, too!! I just printed the maps to here form our hotel (1.3 miles away!)
O?T but I thought it was cool: If you do a street view of the google maps of the theater there is a banner for Little Ashes!
Ok, I am running so late this AM. Going to get ready for work, will e-mail you later.
So excited!
CL - Gotcha! I have to go chaperone a field trip! Blah!
Lucky NY! I'm gonna force my cousin to go there for me! :D
@Angie It's not pitiful, I'd be on my knees for that! :D
I booked my trip to NY before christmas... I see now that I picked the wrong dates, I'm going on march 26... :s
It's a long way to travel from Norway, so I don't think I'll get the chance to go there on march 1... :( (If I'm not lucky enough to win the lottery or something... :D)
On the other hand, it's not such a long flight to London... :)
Suz - I have been trying to find you my friend. Where are you?????
JandR my sweet..
email me anytme.
If i was able to go I would go and take lots of pictures!!!
aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I need to start getting friendly with the people who work there :)
Thanks Suz!!! I have sent an email. Cheers, J :)
Thanks so much. I was waiting for word on where it would be.
Oooh Ye lucky things, don't forget to tell us all about it!! SO jealous! ;-)
Pray that no more blizzard will get in our way. I'll be there no matter what.
Can we make it to the box office # 1 movie of 2010? It's all up to us to make Rob as the #1 Box office star of the decade. lol.
Glad it's the Paris, seen a number of good movies there, and it's next to one of my fav buildings.
Is there a group planning to go that I might be able to join? I'm in DC and considering going up for it, but having trouble convincing my friend to go with me ...
Oh I like this. I thought maybe it would be a big hoopla at the Ziegfeld, but I like this venue much better. More understated.
And Angie? Sweetie?
Unless you know someone on the inside who can get you in, you're not going to get inside of that theatre. This is an industry event. Not for the public. However...
Because this is Rob, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they've got some contests going that would give away tickets to the premiere OR alot of times on the radio, they have people call in and if you're the right caller...BINGO!!! So, sniff around. But I know you cannot purchase tickets anywhere. At least I've never heard of the public buying tickets to an industry film premiere.
Best bet to see him? Get down to that theatre just as early as you can and...wait AND hang around for him to leave too. Alot wander off after the stars go in, but sometimes those who wait, get an even nicer encounter at the end; the media is gone, the crowds have dimmed and it just isn't as a chaotic scene as when the stars first arrive. That's how I ran into him at the Con (although it was an accident). It was at the end, when the hoopla had died down and he was virtually standing alone in a small, empty hallway.
Good luck you guys and remember...
just sayin'
Angie & CL, you two ok over there? ; ) LOL. Pulse a bit erratic yet? Wait for it! Angie, you bought a camera that does video, right?
Okay. There is a possible way into that theatre. But it will cost you your virtue.
Head down to that theatre and see if there's anyone there you can sleep with. Well. Desperate times call for desperate measures. And we are talking about Rob afterall.
Just be sure it's someone of real importance and influence who can actually get you in. 'Cause god forbid you hand it over to the kid who just making the nachos.
That would be a tragedy.
Unless he could get you some free nachos.
@Rob's Bitch - love your name!
Angie-K and I (and one of Angie's friends) are going. We have plane tickets and a hotel room. We are flying in on 2/28 and flying out on 3/3. Would love for you to join us.
You can e-mail me at
email@example.com and I can give you the specifics.
@Gwen - Every day that we get closer to March 1 my heart rate goes up a notch. Between the three of us, we have 5 cameras, one that takes HD video! If I don't die, there should be some awesome footage. Fingers crossed.
Well that's all fine and good CL, but what I wanna know is...
Who's gonna 'put out' to get you guys inside?
C'mon now. It's for da baby.
you know whats funny. 75% of the people that showed up while he was filming 'Remember Me' were tourists. The same probably goes for the premiere. I just find it ironic how he thinks NYers are aggressive meanwhile most of them will spend that day doing something else.
*** sorry that sounded really bad, but it just made me think. One of my friends went to filming one day for RM and she was the only NYer standing in a crowd, and then I am reading about a lot of people flying in to see the premiere. It just so weird because bisdes myself and maybe a handful of other people no one in NYC cares about a premiere and all these celebs have this jaded perception of NY fans lol
You got a point there Stephs...
I've lived in NY on and off over the years and you're right. For the most part, NYers could give a rat's ass about celebrities.
Even Times Square...Alot of people in the country and around the world think that Times Square is what NYC is all about. And it's not. Time Square is the mecca for tourists and NYers do not go there to shop or eat. Well okay. They do eat there occasionally but usually if or when they're coming out of a Broadway theatre.
But...perception is everything. I know people who still think Rob's appeal is for screaming pre-pubescent girls ONLY. That's what they think, 'cause that's what the media has shown them.
PERCEPTION! It's become greater than the truth.
PLEASE POST PICS GALS!! the ones who are going. Wish I can go.I went to the chicago twi convention (scared cause I never did anything like that in my life) and honestly had the time of my life! went with the Robchicks from another site. We had so much fun! theyre meeting in LA next. I gave up vacation time and sacrificed-and I dont regret it! Hopefully you guys have just as much fun as we did. VIDEO VIDEO VIDEO TOO! xoxoxo
Now all of that said about locals vs. tourists...
I got no problem with anyone getting on a plane, boat or train to go see him at a PUBLIC event in which it's been announced that he will be attending. I say, have it and take some goddamn pictures, willya?
What I do have a problem with is intrusion into his life, his personal space where he should not have to be 'on'. Although, he's pretty accomodating (sp?) even then, isn't he?
Sweet guy.
I wanna go too - is there an on-line site where you can buy tickets??? Seriously, ladies. Help me out here! I'll be driving down from Canada.
Don't worry ladies. I think we will get a good chance of going to the premiere if u get there earlier.
First of all, March 1, is a working day, Monday and ppl are rushing to go home after work. )what if they stay on?)
Second, If the ones who get to see the info are just the avid, robsessed fans who live in NYC and the surrounding states. We might have a chance to get in. What's the seating capacity of the theater.
Third, the theater is not in Times Square, it's off 4 W. 58th St. Not too many tourists wander here.
and Last, yes free. i called the theater.
OMG. i'm hoping i'm right.
I think I misread your post. You were saying that you think it's the actors themselves who think that NYers are somewhat out of control because of celebrity. Some I guess. I would imagine that those who live there though, have got it pretty much figured out. But perhaps not Rob at this point.
As far as I know, his only experiences with NYC have been all about the insanity which has ensued because of Twilight and then again, on the streets while filming RM.
I have sometimes wondered if he realized then (while filming RM), that all of THIS surrounding him is not just about Twilight, but that it's about HIM too.
I've wondered if he's 'gotten' that yet.
i have no problem with robsesed tourists either. I think we at last try to be respectable towards him, but the RM crowd was crazy, rude, and a disgrace. it sucks that he hates NY cuz of people who dont even live here. That was the point I was trying to make. I didnt mean to offend you all. I know you are all dying to see him and if you ever get the opportunity to you would not trample him. I apologize. The RM crowd was a whole different animal though.
In all honesty if any of you really plan on going to the theater i would probably camp out starting on Sunday night. The premiere may be at like 7 o clock or so, but he will probably get there around 4:30 or 5. And Monday may be a work day, but NY also has about 10 universities around the area Columbia, NYU, Pace, Baruch, etc... which all cater to the college crowd who WILL be going. In NYC its different; people go out every night so saying its a work day is moot. If people know he is there, they will be there.
On another note he will probably have a flight out that same night. I don't expect him to stay too long, plus if he gets a redeye out of NY he will be able to film the next day.
CL & Angie, have a wonderful time.
Hope you get tickets somehow. Glad you found cameras so we get to see our guy up close and personal by non-screaming fans.
@StephsLegit - Not sure how to take your comment. I have family in NY (and have lived there for a short time) and I go there about four times a year, so I don't feel like I'm a true tourist.
Why do people have a problem with someone flying to go see something/someone they are interested in? It's my money, my time and my life.
And as far as NYers not caring about celebs, I don't agree with that either. Plenty of NYers I know have done the waiting in line for a premier or for Fashion Week, or for the celebrity events at the Met, etc. And who do you think sends in the sightings of celebrities spotted in the West Village, etc. to all the blogs, I don't think it's tourists because they are all in Times Square.
Just my opinion.
Well. If they are selling tickets to the public, that would be a first. Unless they do it differently there in NY as oppose to here in LA. Although...
Maybe because this looks to shaping up as kinda low key (small theatre, maybe not such a star studded event...but I doubt that), they are offering tickets to the public.
Although (again)...now that I think of it. Alot of these premieres are for charity and in that instance, yes, the public can get in BUT it's usally for several hundred dollars a ticket.
I don't know. See what you can dig up and if you can get in...GREAT!
I just didn't want people geting their hopes up thinking this would be a piece of cake like going to any theatre to see a film only to be disappointed.
I hope none of you are and whoever can make it there, can get in.
I have the worst timing! I don't fly into NYC until March 2 and this theater is only 4 blocks from where I usually stay in the city. Bummer!
Exactlys, I dont want people to get there hopes up either. Its a small theater to begin with. Even though summit is under this impression that it will be small it won't be. For anyone who goes get there early its the best bet. I wouldn't be surprised if I saw people camping out the saturday before.
you are right to spend money however you choose. The comment was misread or at least I didnt get the point across that I was trying to make. The point was that the RM me crowd disgusted me and how Rob hates NYC because of tourists. It wasnt directed at those who are going on Monday. But a little heads up get there early if you really want to go. You may not get tickets to get in, but at least you can take a pic or two or get an autograph.
as for it being a charity event i wouldnt be surprised. one of my friends took me to a new moon screening the wednesday before it came out. i couldnt get in , but she could. she interns for a marketing company that worked with summit. she only reason she ot in was because some executive recognized her. I, of course had to go see 2012 instead lol
If anyone camps out in front of the theater they're going to be icicles! Brrr....it's very cold in the northeast...it's not like camping out in LA for the NM premiere!
Just to be there and see or feel the excitement of the moment is priceless. I've been to many Rob sitings in NYU and CP and never had regret one bit. Thanks, got a strong heart. Hoping and praying will have a good weather on this day. Amen.
It's always about who you know, isn't it?
That whole industry is about networking and schmoozing and whatnot.
I've always hated the 'exclusivity'
of show business and the brown nosing and ass kissing ya gotta do in order to make it into that exclusive club. Which is why I suppose, I skidaddled on out of it.
And I'm not talking about the stars. They're in and they don't have to kiss anyone's ass to get something they want as EVERYTHING is offered up to them (and their family and friends).
So now I just watch from the sidelines and listen to the latest inside dirt from my friends who are still scrambling and brown nosing and ass kissing, to get somewhere.
No thanks.
One word...
Two words...
Three words...
THERMALS & COFFEE & ROB...oh my
(and if catching sight of him can't warm ya up...nothing will)
well my friend got into the NM premiere because she was supposed to be the stand in for the executive because his flight was delayed so he wasnt sure if he could make it out. , but he did lol. i mean i guess it rolled off my shoulders. i only had to wait another day an was not about to fight with the gustapo guarding his post. i didnt care, but my friend did. she felt horible for dragging me there (although i was more than wlling) only to let me down. i dont know for me it would take a lot more than that to anger me.
& a spaceheater
@stephslegit: does Rob hate NYC? I'm curious because I've never heard him say so and he seems to enjoy himself there, aside from some of the filming situations.
you right, he hasn't. The way it was during filming and how he described its craziness alluded to the fact that he didnt enjoy it much. Not sure if it ws the general city or the people surrounding the hype.
anyways. I'll be back later tonight. Good day all
We are planning on being there at 6 AM Monday. We are well prepared for the cold as I am from Chicago and Angie is from the East Coast, we have thermals, down coats, snow boots, etc.
We don't expect to get into the premiere, it would be by the grace of God if we did, we just want to go and have fun. And most importantly see The Pretty!!!
I don't think Rob hates NY. I think he hated all those wild-haired girls who were disgustingly out of control last year. He said that it was in Canada where he learned to "walk with his head down." If we were to see him, we are planning on taking him into "protective custody" and transporting him via wheel barrow.
bumpbumpbumpbump....where are all the NB's at?
I am so excited for you guys!
CL & Angie, since you guys have all those cameras, maybe (Gwen ducks down very low) you could tweet the pix on Premiere Day? LOL. Or not.
(Gwen admits to having a twitter account, but also admits she doesn't actually USE it...)
Or just email them to Goz, Kat or Kate. (Hey, we must live vicariously through you guys! And hey, pix of our Gorgeous ROB---probably in a freaking TUX? Are you kidding! Gwen believes in planning ahead.)
So, for Robstock 2010 Ground Support (aka, meanwhile, back at the ranch...) you guys add firstname.lastname@example.com to your contacts! For, you know, bail money, lawyers, etc. Or encouragement. (Bad Gwen.)
Is that the Grace Building next to the theatre?
I bet Gwen remembers the famous Jordache Jeans commercial that was filmed in front of it eons ago ;)
Eh...I have to work that day~damn closing. I'm not much for celeb events anyway, even with Robert present. I mean, if I were guaranteed to get to have at him...I mean, meet him in a most dignified and graceful manner...I'd go ;)
I'm not sure he'll show up in a tux as this thing looks to be pretty low key (that is until he shows up and all hell breaks loose).
So then...
Down coats...check
Snow boots...check
Looks like you NB's are good to go.
And as Gwen said, we'll be holding down the fort with bail money, lawyers, etc.
But when he shows up, just tweety bird us with (oh god. I'm encouraging tweety bird...what have you done to me Rob? You little bastard). Just tweety us with...
'Houston, we have lift off.'
I can't wait for you guys to see him. I really can't. And what's this thing about LA? Is there a Rob Fest being planned for Eclipse?
I live in LA.
Just saying.
Yes Gwen! We must live vicariously through you all!
Of course we knew what you meant.
'Graceful and dignified' at all times.
Screw that shit. I say...
Trip him as he's going in, slap the cuffs on him, toss him in that wheelbarrow and run like hell.
That is if you can beat the gals in the Robstock van to him. Maybe what you guys need here, is some co-operation. A joint stragedy. A plan. You need a plan.
Park the van down the street with the back doors wide open. Hoist him up out of that wheelbarrow, toss him in and don't the hit the brakes till you hit the Jersey Turnpike.
Now that girls, it what we call...
And if you have to run - SERPENTINE!!!!! Hehehehehe
Neither Angie or I are "Twitters", but for this wonderfully hilarious group of deranged (said with a smile on my face, and including myself) Robholics, I think one of us can manage to tweet.
We will need Ground Support (Gwen is awesome today!) on full alert. But, Nik, I think it should be, "NB's, we have lift off."
Cl & Angie, repeat after Gwen: "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."
Absolutely positive that mischief will, most definitely, be managed. LOL. (Wink!)
Oh, Rob.
@Lisa, may still have those jeans!
Absolutely right CL. I stand corrected.
'NB's we have liftoff.' Indeed.
And Gwen...
I loved your reference to the Marauder's Map (that was my favorite bit of magic at Hogwarts).
Crap. That's what we need. A Marauder's Map...on Rob.
One thing I forgot on that checklist.
Change of panties.
I don't care how cold it is. Soon as you catch first sight of him, those panties are gonna explode.
True fact.
Thank you CullenLover, that is really sweet of you! I'll let you know if I'm going to go, etc. I don't think I could be out all day in the cold though - but I'd imagine I'd be attached by crazed fans if I tried to join you later in the day? They'd cut a bitch - literally!
I'm originally from New York (LI) and used to spot many celebrities in NYC. The soap stars especially - I would just stare at them thinking "Don't I know from somewhere"?
"attacked" by crazed fans... oops.
Thanks CL for stepping up on our behalf! ITA with EVERYTHING you've said.
And to add a few of my own,I have never been to NY and the ONLY reason I am going now is to see ThePretty Mr. Robert Thomas Pattinson.
I am not a crazed tourist and I find it hard to believe that everyone in those crazy crowds while RM was being filmed were tourists. WTF? Are we supposed to believe that the women of NY are immune to Rob? As if! And I'm getting tired of people putting words into Rob's mouth (he doesn't hate NY - never said it) because there are people who do not have BS sensors and they believe everything they read.
I am also not deluded. I fully understand that it is unlikely that we will see the inside of the theater. I knew that before I ever purchased my plane ticket, but I bought it anyway! Just a chance to catch a glimpse of HIM is worth the adventure to me.
I read your post guys and it seems to be a small theater. Why do you think Summit did not choose something more impressive for a premiere? Do they think RM is going to be really "small"? Like a nice little indie film? What do you think? Is it going to be big or small? Anyone has any idea?
I hope you all have a great time and that you see Rob and he sees YOU.
@CL& angie, can't you give him the shirt he's wearing in your avi ;)
@Martini - SERPINTINE!!! LMAO!! good thing I've been practicing my wheelbarrow driving!
@Gwen - "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good!!" LMAO!!! But the "protective custody will be for his own good!
Also good to know that Ground Support will be on stand-by!! I admit to having a twitter account, but I have NEVER tweeted a twit! Don't even know why I signed up for it.
We promise to get the best pictures and videos possible under the circumstances...especially since we both may freakin' pass out!! Good thing we're taking a third party with us(but I have a feeling she may be ROBsessed by the time this trip is over.)
You guys...
Don't be mad. It's just that Angie, you asked in your first post about getting tickets and I don't know if you can get them. I hope so. I didn't mean to sound condesending.
And I agree, I think anyone can go anywhere at anytime to see him at a public appearance. If I could make it, I'd show up with bells on and nothing else (boy, that'd get his attention or make him run screaming into the street)
As for why Summit has chosen this smaller venue for the premiere? I don't know. I do know that this is an independent film (out of Summit's independent arm). Who knows? Maybe Rob wanted something 'smaller.' As Exec. Prod., I don't know if he would have any say so in that.
'Cause lets face it, when your movie is starring one of the biggest stars in the world (at the moment), I would imagine you could hold your premiere anywhere and get enough press coverage to cover 12 movies. And Summit being the marketing master that it is, you'd think they'd pull out all of the stops. Gee, maybe Rob has said, I don't want this to be another circus. I don't know.
So no. I have no idea why the smaller theatre. Perhaps as we get closer to the premiere, we'll find out why.
I know I asked/begged for help/advice/suggestions. I did NOT ask to have it pointed out fifty different ways that we have little to no chance in hell in getting tickets. How is that constructive and how can it not sound condescending??
I just had a thought...
For reasons I cannot bring up, perhaps they've decided to make this premiere as low key as possible. In other words, not to throw themselves a big party over it. And of course unveiling it in NY is the right thing to do as that is where the story takes place.
Don't ask any questions. 'Cause it's just too damn hard not to answer them.
I'm sorry Angie. I was just thinking and typing at the same time and different ideas were coming to me and they were just spilling out. I sincerely hope you find a way in and if not, then to just have a great time at the theatre.
And I don't think I ever said that I don't think people shouldn't go. I think if anyone can get there...GO! Have fun.
Again, I'm sorry for saying anything that upset you.
so very very close and so very very tempting anyone wanna go with an old lady? I will buy you a drink LOL
@Angie and CL - ladies, I noticed you didn't mention bringing any types of snacky snacks. May I suggest Robscicles? Or frosting dipped pocket edwards? Cupcakes? Perhaps hot pockets and then you can slip one to Rob as he walks by?
Angie's here! I heart you, Ang!
@Martini - LOL! Hot pockets, love it. Yes, we will need snacks. Although I think one can live on anticipation, excitement, adrenaline and fangirl-ish-ness for quite a while. A frosting dipped pocket Robward sounds mouth-watering.
@ nikola6 - thanks for the great suggestions!
@CullenLover07 & angie-k & anyone else going to the premiere -
i'm going too! i close to the city so i'll be taking the train in very very very early that morning. maybe even the night before.... maybe. if anyone wants to meet up (because it looks like i might be going alone since none of my RL friends have any interest in Rob) email me!
email: email@example.com
As for Rob leaving NY right after the premiere, he can't as he's scheduled to be on The View the next day, so he will be definitely sticking around town that night!
CL - I heart you, too! and I can live a long time on anticipation, excitement, adrenaline and fangirl-ish-ness! I also happen to have a pocket Robward from my birthday cake!
We'll make a snack run once we figure out just where we'll be hanging out for the day. And if I'm not mistaken, Hot Pockets also make good bait...
Also, I just called the Paris Theater (212-593-4872) and the premiere is a closed event (which we already knew).
@Melissa - We can try to coordinate a group gathering. As CL said, we are planning on getting to the Paris early!
@Nik - not upset, just irritated. I don't like it when someone appears to be pissing in my Wheaties...and my personality doesn't let it go unchecked...
@Melissa/Angie - just e-mailed you.
It's an interesting idea nikola6 - perhaps Rob as an executive producer of the film may have had a say and may have wished for a low key premiere. Who knows? I remember he always described RM as "this little indie film he was shooting in NY" and he was amazed that so many fangirls turned up every day. So maybe he does not want a crazy premiere with red carpet and screaming fans.
CL- got it!
Thank you Melissa and again, sorry Angie.
I know I come off like a know it all but the truth is, I don't know everything. Some things, yeah but other things, I'm just taking a stab like everyone else. I try to qualify my statements with; I don't know/maybe/perhaps/possibly/I think, etc.
And Angie,
I just didn't want you getting your hopes up when I knew it was gonna be damn near impossible to get into that thing. I should have found another way to express that though. We okay? Hell. I'd trade my $300 dollar Vans to get you into that theatre. I'd love nothing more than to hear you tweety birded with...'in theatre. on rob's lap. sharing bucket of popcorn. don't give a shit about the movie.'
And I don't know about him showing up at The View the next day. If 'the plan' is executed with military precision, the NB's should have that boy over at least six state lines by morning...at the very least.
(and after having him locked in a van overnight...hmmm...talk about a 'view')
Perhaps Emilie de Ravin can just appear on the view with one of those big Rob cardboard cutouts? No one would be the wiser?
And if crossing state lines is in the plan, make sure you're heading towards the midwest? Maybe? please? ;o)
@Martini - I live in Chicago, so sounds like a good plan to me!
LOL! Edward cutout and Emilie.
Well then swing down by Indy too! haha
People don't realize that Emilie is a skilled ventriloquist...
Well. Maybe you can just give him the grand tour and hit every NB in the continental U.S. And when I say hit, I mean HIT. 'Course he'll end up in the emergency room with IV's sticking out of him. And Bel Ami will just have to wait. What am I saying? We'll show him Bel Ami.
@ angie & CL - I'm at work now so i'll have to check my email when i get home later. (LOL! i'm doing SO much work, right?)
@ nikola6 - Rob is scheduled to do 2 shows while he's here in NY; Jimmy Fallon on Monday 3/1 and The View on Tuesday 3/2
LOL!@Martini - skilled ventriloquist!
ROBSTOCK ON TOUR!! Limited Engagement! Check for a date near you! ;)
I know Melissa...
I'm just making an ass of myself. I'm actually rather good at that.
@Martini - We'll meet you somewhere on 90/94.
@Melissa - just leaving work...didn't get too much done today.
@Nik - I don't hold grudges. That's why I speak my mind. Let's people know where I stand.
Thanks Angie. And that's fine. I admire that. Just wanted to know that were okay and I'm guessing we are. Hope so.
One last thing...
Communication on the internet can be a bit dicey because we cannot see each other's facial expressions or hear each other's voice inflections. All we have are the words and sometimes those can be misinterpreted. I've misread people all the time and them me. But it's done now.
Now let's get this ROBstock tour planned. Oh Rob darling, if you only knew the delights that await you. If you did, you'd ditch that movie right now, hop a plane to America tonight and by morning, we wouldn't have to come a huntin' you. You'd be out looking for us.
Just one more month darling. Hang on.
CL & Angie, thinking you guys should buy a baseball cap and put Angie's "I love NBs" on it. Just in case.
You KNOW Rob would wear it! ; )
Maybe in gray or black? (Goes with every plaid know to man...) LOL.
I <3 NBs hat - check!
Gotta head out to RL for a bit.
Operation ROBSTOCK!!!!!!!
@CL - I'll be there!
I think too you guys should do a travelogue. Someone have a flip camera or something? what a hoot!!!
just stay warm, or if you are with people take shifts walking around and stuff and if you are driving DONT. take a bus or a train you will definitely not find parking unless there is a parking garage which will prob charge you $5 per hour
**scratching head**
wonders if Operation Robstock would qualify as an olympic sport...
if poker is a sport this most definitely is.. yes poker is a sport. ponder that.

While these days the release of a new model of hardware is kind of a big deal, signifying as it does important changes in components, capabilities or even a complete redesign, back in the day some companies used to be able to flood the market with different versions of their console and nobody even noticed.
Take, for example, Sega's Mega Drive / Genesis.
As detailed in this wonderfully exhaustive guide over on the Sega-16 forums, Sega released new variants of the console across major world markets every time you rolled out of bed, some of them carrying only minor changes, others boasting surprisingly varied quality in terms of visuals and sound output. One had the potential to output graphics so nice it's called the "high definition" model.
There's even a model whose sound was so bad compared to other versions it's been nicknamed "the stinker".
Note that what's being discussed here aren't the kind of major changes you saw in our Genesis gallery from last year, which covered significant redeisgns and re-releases of the console. No, what we're talking about here are different models of a console that, unless you knew where to look, would appear identical, even if they contained different hardware.
Sega fans or those interested in this kind of minutiae should definitely check it out. You'll hopefully learn something; I, for example, of course knew that the PAL Mega Drive resulted in slower visuals, but had no idea it also slowed down a game's sound as well.

haha Yeah I always wing that part in B pent too. Usually works out alright. I like how you jump to the high B at the end of the first one. Caught me off guard haha. Yeah id also like to know what you use to record. I just bought a webcam and was planning to start addin some videos on here but the microphone on it sucks. It said it was really good and reviews said it was but I cant play with any volume whatsoever. The second I hit a string with any strength it breaks up and gets a nasty static going. So I guess Ill have to buy a mic. But also how will I sync up the video with the audio since it will be seperate. I wanna get this underway soon cuz I have a buddy I know from work that wants to start learning some more. Oh and keep em comin. Always enjoy watchin another guys versions.Billbbill wrote:
For the record I always wing this portion (that amyjared is asking about) with B major pentatonic and maybe some chromo's with an eye toward the upcoming A chord.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, out today, is the final movie in the Harry Potter series, and for many it marks the end of an era in pop culture. Can this movie possibly sum up everything great about the books and other films? Can it capture that ineffable thing, that flicker of faith in the human capacity to imagine itself into a better world, that Harry Potter awakened in its billions of fans? Can it deliver the total wizard smackdown with fire and monsters and wand fights?
Of course it can. Spoilers ahead!
I say that not just because this final installment in the film series is a fast-paced adventure movie with great effects, but because Harry Potter can't be contained in just one chunk of its franchise. J.K. Rowling's stories of a magical world full of sorcery and moral struggle have spread so far beyond the pages of the original novels that sometimes it's hard to tell where the "official" Harry Potter universe ends and the unofficial world of Pottermania fandom begins. Harry Potter's story has become part of our everyday cultural references, an allegory we use to describe everything from politics to the financial crises that have swept across the world.
So is Deathly Hallows Part 2 the story of a mildly elitist group of social democratic wizards fighting superhuman authoritarianism? Yes. Is it about soulless bankers colluding to keep money and treasures in the hands of the few? Yes - that too. Is it about fighting to create a world where the next generation doesn't have to grow up in mortal and moral danger? Certainly. And it's also a faithful adaptation of a novel packed with battles, plot twists, and more than one romance.
The whole first act of the film, where Harry, Ron and Hermione have to retrieve one of Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes from Gringotts — the goblin-operated bank — is both visually stunning and a kind of distillation of what makes the Harry Potter story so appealing. Harry and his friends have to sneak past the goblins in disguise, ride an insane cart down into the depths of the Earth where the bank vaults are, and battle various spells to escape again. But instead of murdering their way out of the situation, the way most heroes in such scrapes would, Hermione figures out a way to make their liberation into the liberation of other creatures too. They escape on the back of a captive, abused dragon that the goblins use to guard the vaults.
When you see them on the back of that incredible dragon, your heart soars not just because the dragon looks really freaking cool, but because this is what good guys do. They figure out how to save other creatures while saving their own lives. Altruism is the means and the end.
Contrast that with bad guy Voldemort, who has done the opposite. His entire life depends on killing, of course, but he's also extended his lifespan by hiding bits of his soul in (mostly) inanimate objects. He's not evil because he's a cackling snakeface. By investing dead objects with his soul, he reveals the true moral corruption at the heart of his being: he prefers a society of things rather than people. Voldemort is a version of the terrible spell that guards Bellatrix's vault, causing every object that an intruder touches to beget more objects, until the room is so packed with inanimate things that all forms of life are crushed to dust.
Like the very best fairy tales, Harry Potter offers us a burning vision of our own world, with goodness and evil helpfully labeled. Of course the good guys do the right things, sacrificing themselves and using all the ultra-powerful spells they can to defend a school (not the government, or a military target — a school). The final battle scene is terrific, full of funny quips ("I've always wanted to use that spell," says McGonigal with a grim smile as she unleashes the stone soldiers molded to Hogwarts' walls) and many tearful moments. Unexpected heroes emerge, and there are some heartbreaking character developments that will leave you wishing there were going to be prequels, or at least spinoff tales that fill in the lives of supporting characters whom we are only now getting to know.
Of course there are some false notes in the movie — I'm not going to lie and tell you it's perfect. When the romances between Harry and his friends finally bloom they feel about as romantic as duck sex. Dumbledore gave a speech that was supposed to be heartening but was so cliche-packed that I kept thinking he was going to conclude by saying, "And always wash your hands and look both ways before you cross the street." Generally the effects were superlative, but something about the CGI work on Voldemort's face made it look like he had a blurry white moustache. Still, these are mostly nitpicks. Overall, the film was moving and true to the Harry Potter spirit. Thankfully, the ending packed a punch and didn't fall into the Lord of the Rings slo-mo hugging trap.
And don't worry about Harry Potter being over. The boy who lived is going to keep surviving, and reminding us that life is only good when other people and creatures live alongside you. Harry Potter is a massive enough phenomenon that I think we can be confident that his story will outlast us all, leaving behind a snapshot of the human imagination at the turn of the twenty-first century. A good snapshot, that shows us in our best light.

Are you affected by the fire? Please share your images and footage if you can do so safely.
(CNN) -- It was a rare bright spot on an otherwise hazy, smoke-filled horizon.
An evacuation advisory was lifted Thursday for residents in Tuolumne City, a picturesque community in northern California threatened by an historic wildfire, as firefighters worked to get a grip on the blaze.
Known as the Rim Fire, the conflagration has charred nearly 200,000 acres, cost the state more than $39 million to date and is threatening 5,500 structures, of which 4,500 are residences. It's the sixth-largest wildfire in California history. On Thursday, it was in its 12th day and it had only been contained 32%, according to Cal Fire.
Because of the approaching flames, officials have shut down electricity generators, and San Francisco -- more than 120 miles to the west -- temporarily is getting power from elsewhere.
While the Yosemite Conservancy says the Rim Fire has consumed tens of thousands of acres inside Yosemite National Park, it has so far had little or no direct impact on Yosemite Valley, a popular spot for tourists and home to many of the park's iconic attractions, including the El Capitan rock formation.
Firefighters hope to keep it that way. Nearly 5,000 people have been assigned to the blaze.
"This is going to be a tough fire," said Tom Tidwell, chief of the U.S. Forest Service. "It's going to continue for a few more weeks."
'It looked like a thunderhead cloud, but it was smoke'
The blaze has created challenges not only to firefighters and utility providers, but also to people who were in the park on long-planned explorations and expeditions.
That group included people such as David Hermanson and his friends.
They were on a 10-day trek through the wilderness, just four guys and six llamas. Expecting to commune with nature, they instead faced its sheer, raw power when their hike was cut short by the huge wildfire ravaging northern California.
Hermanson, a 30-year-old artist and air conditioner repairman from the San Diego area, knows Yosemite National Park like the back of his hand.
"Me and my dad have been hiking Yosemite every year since I was seven," he said.
Stoked to be back in the park again, Hermanson and three of his buddies loaded up the llamas and embarked August 20 on what was to have been a 60-mile hike from Leavitt Meadows to Lake Eleanor.
The group was at Dorothy Lake -- about halfway into their trip -- when clouds started to roll in. At least that's what they seemed to be.
"It looked like a thunderhead cloud, but it was smoke," Hermanson said. "It was just amazing. It looked surreal."
Wildfire threatens 90-year-old cabin
Time to turn around
Hermanson used a satellite phone to call his dad, who kept the group apprised as the wildfire gobbled up acres by the thousands.
"It was pretty bad in the evening," Hermanson said. "You couldn't see the other side of the lake, the visibility was maybe 100 yards."
Dad said it was time to turn around. The fire was spreading to the end of the trail.
"We didn't feel endangered," a disappointed Hermanson said. "We were just engulfed with smoke. It seemed like the smoke got worse as it progressed."
What you need to know about wildfires
'A lot of work to be done'
Authorities say the Rim Fire started on August 17. The cause is under investigation.
"There's a lot of concern, and there's a lot of work to be done," U.S. Forest Service spokesman Lee Bentley said.
Firefighters have been able to build fire lines in several locations, officials say. The forecast is looking favorable as daytime highs sink into the 70s over the Labor Day weekend, a break from the temperatures in the high 80s firefighters were facing Wednesday.
More than 20 helicopters and air tankers were aiding the efforts.
Truck burns
Herman says the group's decision to abort their hike was a good one.
The rendezvous truck they had left at the end of the trail was nothing by a burnt shell after the fire roared through Lake Eleanor.
The group made it out safely on Monday. Hermanson's dad provided the ride home for the crew.
And the llamas?
"They were sneezing a lot. I think they may have been bothered by the smoke."

CES may dominate the technology calendar in the United States, but for wireless at least, Mobile World Congress is the trade show that matters. No event is more important, and as the calendar turns to February, you can bet that the entire industry will flock to Barcelona, Spain, to outflank and outshine the competition.

Of course, no gadget show would be complete without a gaggle of tech journalists scurrying to cover the news and the flood of product announcements. And as we've done over the past few years, CNET was on the ground in Barcelona to bring you the scoop on the show. It was a staggering amount to cover, from the moment we arrived in town last weekend to the hour that the show ended on Thursday. Here are the winners and losers as we saw them.
Yes, you would read that correctly. Fresh on the heels of its strong showing at CES with the award-winning
When talking about Nokia's Spanish expedition, you have to start with its new 808 PureView. Sure, it's a bit of a Frankenphone and the Symbian OS caught some people off guard (and may have angered others), but never before have we seen a 41-megapixel mobile. So not only did Nokia shove aside the 8-megapixel shooters that have long defined the upper end of the camera phone technology, but also it took that limit and pushed it into the stratosphere. As CNET's Josh Goldman explains, the 808's PureView's resolution wasn't a random call, but rather an attempt to develop a lossless digital zoom. That's an impressive feat for a device that's built primarily to make calls (or these days, send a text), but that's what Nokia did. We'll have to wait until we get a review unit to see if the 808 PureView is worth the hype, but there's no denying that Nokia pulled a new trick out of its hat.
Our Finnish friends also delivered the Lumia 610. Though not unique in features or design, I appreciate the effort to broaden the appeal of Windows Phone 7 with an entry-level device. I also liked two of the handsets in the company's new Asha series. The Asha 202, for example, awesomely accommodates two SIM cards, whereas the Asha 302 takes a comfortable keyboard and Microsoft Exchange support and packs them in an uncomplicated package.
Another device that dares to be explained, the Asus Padfone morphs from a smartphone into a tablet into a notebook. Totally original and completely absorbing, the Padfone is one of those devices you have to see to believe. Again, it's not about what the phone can do, but about what you can do with it. Indeed, Asus deserves credit for taking its already excellent

Quad-core chips, Ice Cream Sandwich, and NFC
As I said in my Mobile World Congress preview, the show promised an Ice Cream Sandwich with quad-core chips. Though not every new device came through on that prediction, there were enough to make both features a solid trend. Most of the handset manufacturers introduced such a phone with Sony being the obvious and disappointing exception. Support for NFC was popular, as well, with a decent selection of new devices supporting mobile payments technology.
Somewhere along the line, Microsoft decided that Mobile World Congress was the show to make splash. Two years ago it debuted Windows Phone 7, last year it highlighted its Nokia partnership, and this year it offered the beta of Windows 8 (see Seth Rosenblatt's hands-on for a close analysis). That gave us a lot to ponder outside the world of smartphones that normally dominate the Barcelona proceedings.

Let's call it a draw
There's been a lot of talk about HTC struggling to get its groove back, but at Mobile World Congress it took a decent step forward. Of the three phones that the company unveiled, the One X gave us the most to savor. It offered both Ice Cream Sandwich and a quad-core chip plus Sense 4.0, Beats Audio, and an upgraded camera. It's frustrating, though, that for the U.S. market AT&T and HTC can't deliver the One X both with LTE and the quad-core processor. HTC's other announcements aren't quite as thrilling, but the One S and One V bring Ice Cream Sandwich. Gingerbread be gone.
In my previous four years at Mobile World Congress, Samsung arrived in force so I was surprised when the company postponed the Galaxy S III for later this year. Heck, it even chose not to hold a press conference in Barcelona. Of the products that it did unveil, the Galaxy Beam gets some points for sheer novelty. As CNET's Jessica Dolcourt wrote, we've been taking about pico projectors for years, so it's nice to see Samsung make a device almost consumer-ready (and the demo is pretty cool). Sammy's other products from the show, additional versions of the
Sammy's Korean rival took a different track by announcing several new editions to the Optimus family before Mobile World Congress began. At the head of the pack is another Android smartphone with Ice Cream Sandwich and a quad-core processor, the

Similarly, while the Optimus 3D Max has an eye-popping display, the 3D capability still hasn't won me over. Without any gimmicky features, the company's L-Style handsets are strictly middle of the road. Ice Cream Sandwich saved the L7 and L5 from complete obscurity, though the L3 faded into the background.
Until next year, that's it from Barcelona and Mobile World Congress.
