Colin -- yeah, I remember you were firstname.lastname@example.com, but the
stalking? No, not that.
The boards also attracted a number of true mental cases, most
unforgettably KeijiKJ. He was similar to Gondola Blob in that he
indulged in casebook net.kook behavior: delusions of professionalism,
snottily dismissive of any random thing, threw around the
word "clique" a lot. I've even heard stories that he scared the
bejesus out of BB members during the first con. I personally had a
thoroughly pointless argument with him about the population of the
cities in California.
Concerning Mike, I'll say this: there are quite a few times during
the Sci-Fi-era when he seemed to be sending out his performance via
Fed Ex. Sad, because it was clear after CC he was capable of much
better. But you know, a lot of the Sci-Fi-era episodes that initially
seemed kinda minor and kinda eh to me now strike me as being
thoroughly solid.
I'm waiting on Mike's next collection of essays and novel myself. The
Megacheese collection was a scream.

Stalking resulted from an unfortunate IRL encounter with a nice
enough person. I thought it was a lovely afternoon, she thought it
was TRUE LOVE FOREVER. Eek. The story resolved harmlessly enough --
she found TRUE LOVE FOREVER again with another MSTie, and this time
it was returned.
MST3K was never that big a part of my life - I watched it
sporadically, and I always seemed to be in the wrong state of mind to
truly enjoy it. I'll side with the Joel phreex, though, just because
bald is sexy. (I'm getting sexier by the minute.)

But wasn't Mike balder than Joel? I'm confused. No matter. I'm
balder than both, and I agree with David.

I think that my slight preference for Joel has something to do with a
sense that the guy's a bit . . . off, where Mike is merely charming
and funny.

But yes, Mike has the angst in there somewhere. He just tempers it
very beautifully -- thus his legendary turn as Morrissey.
― Colin Meeder, Thursday, 17 January 2002 01:00 (fifteen years ago) Permalink
To add to the book recommendations -- Mike N.'s general essay book Mind Over Matters is another fine read (the TV essay alone is some kinda genius, the mock 19th century novel even more so), while I very much liked Kevin Murphy's A Year at the Movies. Chris Piuma mentioned he felt it was fairly Joe Queenan-like and therefore not as distinct as it could be, but I think it was handled very well and worked as both microstudy of the moviegoing experience and general reflection. Certainly any of the ILF/film-going hounds on this board should consider reading/borrowing a copy, at least. Then there's Mike's new novel Death Rat, which I really need to order next month...
And praise to all the other castmembers doing things and the continual rolling out of more DVDs, though apparently Rhino says they've exhausted what they have the rights to right now and are looking into securing more, hopefully...

Keep in mind that the fidelity on these files is sometimes suprisingly good considering the size, and sometimes fairly bad, but even the worst files usually have more than enough detail for a person to get what's going on.
I'm hoping the DVD is a Santa Claus vs. The Martians/Santa Claus double fun pak. It is going to come out late 2003, after all.
Later I may want to say something about MST3K in light of Mark's venting on Zappa, but right now I want to go to Central Park and maybe the Malevich exhibit before it starts raining (again).

Have got up to Land That Time Forgot, show feels like it has hit its stride now. Reboot has turned out much better than I was expecting tbh, nothing amazing but watchable, like average episodes from late seasons MST3K. And my god Starcrash is an amazingly bad movie.

I've been enjoying it immensely, but making my way through it slowly rather than bingeing. I'm up to Land That Time Forgot as well, but I fell asleep watching it last night.

Yeah, "like average episodes from late seasons MST3K" sums up my response so far, but we're only partway through Time Travelers because finding time for these is tough. Still, that's a considerably higher level of quality than I feared at the outset. The biggest problems have already been nailed down here - a kind of rapid 'bunching' of riffs that feels a bit like teenage riffers afraid of silence and just blurting out anything that the words spoken onscreen vaguely reminds me of. I believe those who suggest that this gets smoothed out a bit as things go on. Some of the riffs are really good, so at least it's not just a cavalcade of groaners and awkward references.
Still wish the voices of the characters were a little more distinct (both sonically and personality-wise) and especially that the puppeteering was a little less subtle. Sometimes you can't even see a mouth move, which makes it that much harder to link up Voice X with Servo vs. Jonah. It's like the inverse of stage actors learning they have to dial it down for the movies. This too I imagine they could get better at as we go.
Gotta say though that just getting things like "Cry Wilderness" screened in front of me is kinda worth it. What in the everloving hell, such an odd execution of what would appear to be a kids' movie, until it's not, plus you get that Return to Oz vibe where the adults insisting that the kid is mentally ill and making it all up seem to be the most believable sources, so that at the end when they change their tune you assume that behind the next dissolve you'll see the kid in a rubber room imagining that too. Obviously with the Internet at large, awareness of Bad Movies is considerably broader, but something MST did, and can still do, is unearth real oddities and sort of grant them canonical status as bad movies that people know. Manos and the Coleman Francis trilogy are probably the best-known cases of this but basically every ep they did either elevated something from totally unknown, or cemented the status of things that had already been appearing in "the hundred worst movies ever!" books. Feels like the new season(s) can totally carry on that role whatever their other qualities.

I kind of wish there were a few more obscurities like Cry Wilderness in there. Back in February, I came across a list of the movies that were going to be used for this season, and at the time Cry Wilderness was the only film with less than 100 votes on IMDB (44 votes with a rating of 5.4. It has now 528 with a rating of 2.2), whereas quite a few of the other film had closer to a thousand. And some films like Repitilicus and especially Starcrash were already quite well known among bad movie buffs.

We watched "Avalanche" the other night and I admit I laughed until I cried over "This is the third time I've found you under a log this week, it's getting weird."
― Lauren Schumer Donor (Phil D.), Tuesday, 2 May 2017 15:29 (one month ago) Permalink
Yeah, I've seen at least half of Starcrash before, and had certainly heard of Reptilicus and Avalanche. But, y'know, it's not like the original show 'discovered' every one of its flicks, as I was suggesting with reference to the "worst movies ever books." Certainly it's going to be harder in 2017 to surprise anybody, whereas in 1992 even a "bad movie buff" would really have to be devoting a lot of hobby time to tracking stuff down (conventions, movie guides, pen pal contact with cult collectors maybe). So even the major studio releases that take up a huge part of the MST episode list and lent it so much of its 50s texture - all those Universal and Warner B-pictures, or even the Corman fare which saw wide drive-in release in its original run - wouldn't all be things a buff had seen, necessarily.

Have fun, I guess:
[May 15, 2017, New York, NY] – For the first time ever, join Joel Hodgson, creator of the critically acclaimed "Mystery Science Theater 3000" TV show and its new host Jonah Heston (Jonah Ray) as they bring the first live touring production of "MST3K" to a city near you on the "Watch Out for Snakes!" Tour. Appearing with Joel and Jonah live on stage will be robot companions Crow (Hampton Yount), Tom Servo and Gypsy, along with Synthia (Rebecca Hanson) and her Bonehead henchmen. Of course, it wouldn't be "MST3K" without the ever-present surveillance of the Mads, Kinga Forrester (Felicia Day) and TV's Son of TV's Frank (Patton Oswalt), checking up on their unwilling test subjects via a video screen. The tour consists of two separate, completely unique shows, each with its own admission. Fans wanting the complete tour experience should purchase two tickets, one for each show. Each event will include all the things expected from an "MST3K" experience: a cheesy B-movie, hilarious riffing, wisecracking robots, silly sketches, plus – for the first time – audience participation! Show # 1 is the MST3K favorite "Eegah," featuring all-new riffs and sketches. Show # 2 is a "Secret Surprise Film!" It's a fun, sci-fi thriller never before featured on "MST3K" and it will be performed only in select cities. Following its record-breaking #BringBackMST3K Kickstarter campaign, the new season of the show launched on April 14, 2017, exclusively on Netflix. The two live shows are written by the cast and writers of the new Netflix Original Series, which has earned a critics' rating of 100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.. The New York Times hails, "At last, a revival of something actually worth reviving… a different cast but the same outlook and style — and mercifully, the same reliable, giddy humor." "MST3K is just as hilarious as ever in rebooted form, turning its bemused eye on old, schlocky fare for some good, old-fashioned riffing," raves Vanity Fair. And Nerdist says "The references are updated, the sets are snazzier, but the heart and soul of MST3K certainly remains intact." Tickets for "MST3K" "Watch Out for Snakes!" North American tour dates will go on sale to the public Friday, May 19 at noon local time via AXS.com and the venue box office. Please note where there are multiple performances in a single market, each event is ticketed SEPARATELY. Mystery Science Theater 3000 "Watch Out For Snakes!"

watched Wizards of the Lost Kingdom I and II episodes yesterday and they were both exquisitely terrible movies, each with their own unique brand of unappealing adolescent lead character. It's making me laugh, doesn't feel like "zombie MST3K" for the most part, I wish them many more seasons of success.
― softie (silby), Monday, 15 May 2017 17:54 (one month ago) Permalink
I finished the season. The overload of these riffs comes back in the final episodes, or maybe I just noticed it more because I watched some of the old Gamera episodes at the same time. The focus is definitely on the riffs instead of the movies. Lots of the new show feels like a Rorschach test of images and the test subjects shouting out things that they bring to mind as 'riffs'. Dr. M OTM on it feeling like the later seasons but without the highlights.
I noticed that Jonah does some riffs as exclamations done in a snarky "I'm telling a joke" voice. Don't force it, dude.
What I recommend watching, if you don't watch the whole thing:- Reptilicus- Cry Wilderness, up to the first skit. The rest of the movie gets derailed and they hadn't figured out how to deal with that at this point.- Beast of Hollow Mountain, good riffs and one Birdemic-like moment- The Land That Time Forgot- The Loves of Hercules- Yongary
Starcrash is probably better without the nonstop riffs over it.The Wizards movies are amazing as bad movies and endurance tests, but the riffs are some of the worst.

I just watched Cry Wilderness, which I thought was a considerable improvement on Reptilicus. The riffing seemed more comfortable, and had a higher hit-to-miss ratio, plus the movie is so consistently and delightfully WTF that I was sort of carried along by it even when the jokes lagged.

I'm up through Starcrash now. Yeah, agree with abanana that that movie might be funnier without the riffs. There were some scenes of what looked like hilariously terrible acting that got talked or sang over, and the riffs didn't hit the mark a lot, for what was an easy target
Beast of Hollow Mountain might have been my favorite this season so far though. Not an obvious choice for them to do, but they had a good time with it. I honestly thought the titular Beast was referring to the villain, until near the end... nope, real Beast. Loved the constant riffing about the hero's limited Spanish

"It is not enough to simply teach children to read; we have to give them something worth reading. Something that will stretch their imaginations—something that will help them make sense of their own lives and encourage them to reach out toward people whose lives are quite different from their own."
—Katherine Patterson
Children are born with a genuine passion for learning. As they grow, children develop a natural love and curiosity for reading, but somewhere along their educational pathways, their fervor for reading often wanes.
Recognizing that all children must build upon their natural love for lifelong literacy, The Beaver County Educational Trust put a plan in place to ensure that Beaver County children foster this enthusiasm for learning.
Throughout the past 20 years, BCET has expanded the lifelong literacy learning opportunities of the youth in Beaver County. With several programs targeted at keeping students' love for reading and learning in place throughout their K-12 journey, Lincoln Learning Solutions has focused on supporting the following BCET programs:
• Growing with Books, which introduces young families to reading by providing them with age appropriate books semi-annually to children through age 5 who were born in Beaver County.
• Mini-Grants, which are offered to high school teachers who strive to challenge their students to go beyond the standard curriculum and explore the world beyond K-12.
Lincoln Learning Solutions is honored to partner with BCET as it continues to motivate and challenge all Beaver County children to develop a love for literacy and make learning a lifelong process.
LanVwaVisit Website
"Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life."
— Nelson Mandela, Former President of South Africa
LanVwa is a nonprofit organization that focuses on providing access to education and educational resources to students in developing regions. LanVwa, which means "the voice" in Haitian Creole, is working to give back what poverty steals – a person's voice. By connecting students of all ages with the proper tools and encouraging them to take ownership of their future, the organization believes that the cycle of poverty can be stopped one village at a time. The LanVwa model focuses on education and student development, utilizing primarily free or low-cost solutions. The organization enables students to overcome many educational deterrents by linking students to qualified teachers through an online classroom.
Lincoln Learning Solutions feels strongly that the LanVwa model indeed can ignite minds and change the world!
Community-Based Giving
By working together and focusing on concerns expressed by local charitable organizations, Lincoln Learning Solutions employees make a direct and often personal impact on the lives of less fortunate residents within their own communities. These employees give of themselves and ask their peers to join them in giving to agencies operating at the grassroots level in the cities, towns, and counties in which they live.
The United Way Employee Drive
This year, Lincoln Learning Solutions employees conducted the company's first major United Way employee giving campaign. Many employees donated to the United Way in Beaver County, Pa., where Lincoln Learning Solutions is headquartered. Others chose to designate gifts to United Way agencies or other charities in their communities.
The Bradley Center / School Angel Tree
The Bradley Center of Pittsburgh is a residential treatment and school facility for children who have experienced severe trauma and may have intellectual and developmental disabilities, mental illness, and behavioral issues. With this year's School Angel Tree initiative and "wish list" ornaments, Lincoln Learning Solutions employees made Christmas a bit brighter for 75 Bradley Center children.
Salvation Army Food Drive
The lines at local food banks seem to be getting longer all the time. The sad fact that hunger exists within our own towns is especially poignant during certain times of the year. Lincoln Learning Solutions employees donated food drive items to an agency that consistently ranks as America's most trusted charity – The Salvation Army.
Employee-Initiated Giving
At Lincoln Learning Solutions, we are proud of our unique employee culture. As a nonprofit organization, we strive to improve the lives of students across the United States, but that's not all we do! Outside of their work schedules, Lincoln Learning Solutions employees give back to their communities through various volunteer activities. Our people represent the corporate soul of our company, and we could not be more proud.

All proceeds from the sales of her items stay with the organizations. In the past, Arena has given pieces of art to the Hillside SPCA and the Animal Alliance of Canada (Project Jessie), and she assists disability and cancer-related organizations regularly.
Danielle Nelson, Elementary Teacher
PTO Vice President and CAS Volunteer
Danielle Nelson gives of her time and energy to stay connected with her children's elementary school by volunteering as the PTO vice president. She strives to help her students, as well as her children, have a fun and engaging learning environment in and out of the classroom. Additionally, Nelson works to raise awareness and funding for childhood apraxia of speech, a cause that affects her son, Davin.

Reading with a Furry Friend
Can a dog help a child learn to read? Believe it or not, reading to a therapy dog can improve a child's confidence in his or her reading abilities. Owned by Megan Plemmons, Hazel is a friendly Labradoodle and certified therapy dog. Plemmons takes Hazel to a local elementary charter school, where selected students who may be shy, have anxiety, have learning disabilities, or be English language learners sit and read to the dog. Hazel listens patiently and never corrects them; perhaps that is why the children love to read to her!

I bought a couple of pieces of thin fun foam (1.5 and 2mm, acid free) to use in my Cuttlebug. I wondered too, if anyone has used their Cameo with it?
Most of the things I found online, including Silhouette, say it does not cut fun foam. I did find one page that said it did, but only the very thin kind.
Anyone have experience with this?? TIA!

It seems like a lot less pain to be able to boot into X > and just have important directories encrypted. Well, encrypting subtrees (directories) is technically harder and the code for doing so isn't 100% there yet. eCryptFS is working on it, but there's still some work to be done for it to be there. I tend to think that it has a lot of advantages because of the ability to be on the running system, etc. Then you can really * encrypt home directories on a per-user basis with per-user keys * have subdirectories in your home directory with a different passphrase if they're more security sensitive * prompt for passphrases at log-in time when we have a full system * use polyinstantiated /tmp (which has other security advantages) that's actually under the user's home directory * encrypt swap just as a block device with a random key -- this still needs fiddling to figure out how hibernate works > One problem I see in both approaches is access control.

Mexican Tamarind Cooler (Agua de Tamarindo)
Recipe by Mexi-Rosie
Aguas frescas, mainly made of fruit in season, are so popular in Mexico, that you'll see more agua fresca stands than taco eateries in any Mexican community. Noon meals on family tables are always accompanied by these delicious fruit "ades". Tamarind "water" is one of the most popular.
Top Review by Muffin Goddess
I have a big jug of this in my refrigerator right now! Processing the tamarind pods to get the smooth pulp is pretty labor-intensive (a bit moreso than making fresh-squeezed lemonade from scratch, IMO), but it's definitely worth it in the end. I wasn't sure if the amount of tamarind pulp in the recipe was equal to the weight of the unprocessed pods, so I went nuts and ended up with about 4.5 cups of tamarind pulp to work with. Rather than add dry sugar to the mix, I made simple syrup (2 cups water and 2 cups sugar, cooked over low heat until dissolved and clear). I ended up with about 2 gallons of fairly strong agua de tamarindo, so I've been diluting it a bit with ice water as it's served (most agua frescas I've tried have been more watery, but I didn't have a big enough jug to dilute it down quite enough at the time). I guess what I'm trying to say is that I complicated the recipe more that it should have been, but I really like the drink anyway -- it's a nice change from lemonade every so often (and it garners brownie points from my DH, too!). Thanks, Mexi-Rosie!

I just checked with the apartment property manager, and he said that there is not a weight limit. These are fairly new apartments and the floors in between the stories are concrete.
So I'm leaving the possibility open for a full size safe, but how the crap do I move it up the stairs?

Did you know that the tonka truck the loto is driving has been modified? It has windscreen wipers on the inside of the cabin as well. They come on automatically when the loto puts his tongue to his lips and starts making truck noises as he goes down the road.
Lets not mention his long distance Depends either.
Hi there. Great cartoon, but you forgot about Vince Lester walking backwards in his Queensland electorate in 1981 to get dunny doors to open outwards. But you were probably just a pup then.
I don't remember Paul Keating parachuting out of a hot air balloon into a crocodile-infested waterhole. Was that before he became PM?
Well spotted, Mr Dog, it was all about the Pacific Hwy never about him. Mr Rabbott hasn't only driven to Port Macquarie, he's driven me to despair.
Love the Bandidos line, hehe.
How's about Bob Katter, also walking backwards, Deidre, from Canberra to Cairns, on discovering that there were gay people in his electorate?
Too much, Holden – that's gold(en).
Oh yes FD. All those happy memories. Esp JWH pardoning the boat person.
It still brings a tear to the eye and a warm inner glow.
Shrieks of helpless laughter re frame seven. A sort of weak with laughter,
combined with a dreadful cringe, and a taste of bitterness in my mouth.
GOLDEN HOLDEN: Another shriek of laughter combined with swallowing some coffee backwards.
"TazeTheHomeless"? I haven't noticed before the little notes that accompany a resting cursor around the cartoon. Which party leader is that attributed to?
Venise- Breathe!
Queensland politicians, the characters fiction rejects as too unlikely, set free in the world.
Ah yes, I remember vividly the time Keating wrestled Salty Dave (David Flint's ring name) to decide the Republic No-Count-Out Death Match.
Unfortunately it was abandoned early after Flint refused to perform any other hold than the 'Hello Boys'.
EMC, you have rendered me weak with laughter – 'David Flint's ring name'.
Blair will be on to this one too. Look – three frames ridiculing Labor idiots and four poking fun at Coalition people. That's 33% latte-sipping lefty bias. And it is still being narrated by dog. A dog for goodness sake.
What ever happened to that lego deathstar anyway?
EMC: How dare you make me choke on a second cup of coffee.
And that's a VERY rude title for this cartoon, FD! To the naughty corner with you!
Very droll EMC. I can hear the commentary by Roy and HG in my head. If only the ABC hadn't lost the tapes.
EMC: 'smile'.
PLONK: Ooooh, er. More shrieks of laughter.
Thanks Zut, Venise and Andybob. Let's hope FD draws Salty Dave in his wrestling trunks for us.
"A ring with a name"?
And that Ruddock, Reith & Howard "free swimming lessons for children of boat people"?
Gadzooks! Rabbott is not wearing a hard hat, a hair net OR a high-visibility vest… Are you sure it is really him?
Maybe your best yet!
Fine form, HB.

If they do decide on the mall route, they'll likely pick one in New York where any CCer's would only have 7 rounds and cops would have to empty an entire mag to hit the wall behind them, essentially doing their job for them. But on a serious note, in this kind of scenario, any CCer would be seriously outgunned and would serve a better purpose of facilitating evacuation, unless they start making burst fire MP7's available to the general public.

Two Arrested After Car Chase
Suspects led police on high speed pursuit in stolen vehicle
***UPDATE WEDNESDAY 4:50 P.M.*** Joshua Hood has been charged with resisting arrest and tampering with a motor vehicle. He's also charged with operating a motor vehicle in a careless and imprudent manner, stealing motor fuel and unlawful use of drug paraphernalia. Hood's bond has been set at $18,000 cash-only. He remains in the Macon County Jail at this time. Ashley Barnes has not been charged at this time. ***UPDATE WEDNESDAY 1:50 P.M.*** The Macon County Sheriff's Department identified the two suspects as 23-year-old Joshua Hood of Dexter and 22-year-old Ashley Barnes of Kirksville. Authorities say Hood and Barnes drove off in a stolen truck and without paying $100 in gasoline. The Sheriff's department says the truck hit a curb near the Casey's in Macon, which blew the right front tire out. The suspects made the Highway 63 and Highway 22 junction, where they hit spike strips. A source told ABC 17 News that Hood fought with a trooper after being stopped, resulting in a broken hand for the trooper. Charges have not been filed yet, but the Macon County Prosecutor is expected to file them Wednesday afternoon. Hood is expected to be charged with several felonies, including second degree assault. ***ORIGINAL STORY*** Two people are in custody Tuesday night after taking police on a high-speed chase through several Mid-Missouri counties. The chase started in La Plata in Macon County around 6 p.m. The suspects took off after allegedly refusing to pay for gas. They then headed south on Highway 63. Deputies from Macon and Randolph Sheriff's Departments, Moberly police, and Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers assisted in chasing the subjects, who were driving a stolen vehicle. The chase ended just north of Highway 124 in Boone County after law enforcement deployed spike strips.

ANATOMY OF OBTAINING za/2 For a value of za/2 the subscript represents an area in the tails of the standard normal curve and za is the area in the right tail. These values are used within confidence interval formulas. Example: Areas under the Curve: Suppose we want to construct a 100(1 – a) = 95% confidence interval for m. For a (1 – a)100% confidence level, the area between –z and +z is (1 - a). 1 - .95 = .05, therefore a = .05 and a/2 = .025. Because the total area under the normal curve is 1.0, the total area under the curve in the two tails is a. This is called the significance level. Here in our example a = 1 - .95 = .05. We will need to find z.025. That is, we need to find the z-score with area .025 to its right. Therefore, as shown below, the area under the curve in each of the two tails is a/2 = .025 For a Standard Normal Table that gives us all of the area to the left of a specified z-score, we will subtract .025 from 1 to obtain .9750. We will now look in the "body" of our table to find .9750 (or the closest value to it). The z-score with area .9750 to its left (and .025 to its right) is 1.96. Then, using the symmetry of the curve, the z-score with area .025 to its left is -1.96. (This process will vary slightly depending on the type standard normal table being used.) .9500 .025 -1.96 1.96 a/2 (1 a ) .025 .025 z z .9500 a/2 .025 -z z

thatgamecompany's upcoming game, Journey, is nearing its spring 2012 arrival. Studio co-founder Kellee Santiago and the game's composer Austin Wintory traded e-mails with Game Hunters for some updates on the game and the process of scoring the music for Journey.
You can see some footage from the game and of the recording session with the Macedonian Radio Symphonic Orchestra in the new video below.
The orchestra is conducted by Oleg Kondratenko. "Because I was unable to go to (the Macedonian capital of) Skopje and conduct the orchestra myself (instead attending virtually through a combination of ProTools' Source Connect and Skype), Oleg was entrusted to the role," said composer Wintory. "He is a very experienced conductor and violinist, with a tremendous warmth and sense of humor. In the week prior to the sessions, we had Skype chats going extensively through each piece and discussing all the particulars of phrasing, articulation, etc. The result is a wonderfully musical performance, lacking in the mechanical feel that often plagues remote recordings like this."
What is it that a real orchestra provides? Is that an unusual step for a video game to go to versus, say synthesized or electronic music?
Wintory: Well, Journey definitely contains a huge amount of electronic music, sometimes purely on its own, or (most often) accompanying a soloist or the orchestra. Electronics are just another family of instruments, alongside strings, percussion, brass, voices, etc. I am of the firm belief that music is played by people, so whether it's a cello or an orchestra or whatever, it needs to get under the fingers of a living, breathing human. That is what endows it with its soul and gives it the chance to really make a meaningful impact on someone -- especially in the case of this type of music, which is very performance-oriented by nature already. I feel incredibly fortunate that the producers at Sony shared this view and agreed to fund these recordings. I am also thrilled to say that it's become very common for games to record their scores, sometimes with truly gargantuan orchestras. It's a really wonderful time to be a composer!
Santiago: This is our first game using live music, and I must confess that I was skeptical about the real impact it might have. We've gotten so used to synthesized music, and also the technology has improved greatly! I think what won everyone over from the beginning was when Austin got cellist Tina Guo to record the original theme music for the game. Her passionate cello playing in that track touched everyone, and we knew having real performers playing the instruments live would add an important layer to the experience, to help it feel more personal and genuine.
Were there specific influences on the composition and performance?
Wintory: There were no specific compositional influences I would cite. As a composer I tend to let the task at hand really guide my ideas, so in this case, the biggest inspiration was truly Journey itself, and of course the various inspirations cited by thatgamecompany, like Joseph Campbell's study of the 'Hero's Journey' throughout mythology. Beyond that, one of the real thrills of being a composer is working with talented musicians, so I always invest a lot of time trying to cater my writing to the personality of the performers who'll be playing it. Journey heavily features my dear friend and cellist extraordinaire Tina Guo, and the spectacular range of expression and technical virtuosity she has was a HUGE force behind my choices in composing.
In the video, we see several scenes from the game. Sometimes the cloth character is alone, sometimes with another character. How much of the game can be played solo and how much is with another player online or an non-playable character?
Santiago: The entire game can be played by oneself, and everything but the very first level of the game can be played with another player. Journey is like going on a long trek -- along the way, you may encounter a stranger who, like yourself, is on their own journey. You can choose to travel together for a long while, a short while, or you may choose to walk away from one another and not travel together at all. You can then be left open to encounter someone else. There are no NPCs in Journey, however -- if you see another robed figure like yourself, that is another player, somewhere in the world, also online.
At one point, it looks like the character is swimming. Is that so?
Santiago: Not literally swimming in water, no. But there are moments in Journey where it feels as though you are floating ... and other moments where it might feel just the opposite. The goal of the environments is to establish different moods and settings, and through the progression of getting to the mountaintop, the player will experience many different things.
We also see scenes of what appears to be night and ultra-bright illumination. What can you say about the range of atmospheres a player will experience?
Wintory: My hope is that the score provides a seamless and continuous emotional experience for the player, so that as atmospheres and moods change, so, too, does the score. The trick is to always feel reflective of players' intentions, and not dictatorial. I have no interest in being manipulative and saying "FEEL THIS WAY!" but rather, mirroring what the player finds themselves doing and feeling. For a game like this, the result is a score with a very wide dynamic and emotional range.
Santiago: What Austin describes completely supports the styles of art, programming, and design at thatgamecompany. We hope to invite players into our games -- not punish them for not doing what we told them to do. We also aim to create experiences from which we think anyone can take something away, no matter where they were raised, their age, or gender. So there are aspects we want to be left open to individual interpretation, so hopefully, it's a personal experience in the end.

The module explores police activities between state protection and social control in 19th and 20th century-Europe. We will examine the multilayered relations between the state, the police and the public tracing continuities and differences in policing monarchies, dictatorships and democracies Themes covered will range from policing big cities in the 19th century and the popular fascination with crime stories over the tasks of police forces in the interwar period to the involvement of policemen in the Holocaust.
Policing activities are essential for any state and offer an insight into the relationship between state and society. Tasks of the police involved protecting states of 'unruly' citizens, expressed in working-class uprisings, as well as implementing societal norms of order when policing women, youngsters or alleged 'outsiders.' In addition to social control, police forces had to react to the ever increasing complaints on rising crime rates and police failures in this respect. Presenting new technology for tracing and identifying criminals was one way of the police to counteract fears and criticism.
The module is organised thematically and chronologically with its first half focusing on the 19th century and the second half on the 20th century. Several key questions will run throughout the module: Who was protected by the police and who was regarded as a criminal? Whose interests did police forces serve? What did police officers do in dictatorships? Were police forces primarily agents of state control or protectors of the population? How did police activities in dictatorships differ from those in democracies? By seeking responses to these questions, we will find how policing fundamentally shaped European societies in the last two centuries.
One-hour lecture and one-hour seminar per week.

Head Lice Treatments Can Be Toxic
Parents Should Consult Doctor Before Treating Child's LiceSep 10, 2003 | www.newsnet5.com
Lice are a common problem in schools, but parents shouldn't trust just any head lice treatment.
On Your Side Troubleshooter Chris Caswell reported that some of the products could be toxic.
Dr. Robert Schachter runs a service that helps parents get rid of tough head lice cases.
"Usually, when a parent calls us, (he or she is) absolutely desperate," Schachter said.
For parents desperate to get rid of lice on their own, there are products at the drugstore. Some can be gotten over the counter and others require a prescription.
But Consumer Reports cautioned that two prescription treatments could be dangerous.
One, Lindane, has been on the market for more than 40 years.
"The trouble with Lindane is it's a neurotoxic pesticide," said Nancy Metcalf, of Consumer Reports.
Lice have become resistant to Lindane, making it an increasingly ineffective lice killer.
"It's dangerous and it doesn't work very well," Metcalf said. "There's no reason ever to use this."
A second prescription, Ovide, uses a different pesticide called Malathion. It's effective, but Consumer Reports said it can be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
The instructions say to leave the medicated shampoo on for eight to 12 hours, even though tests show Ovide kills lice in 20 minutes.
"The question is how much is absorbed through the skin and the answer is, we don't know," Metcalf said. "But we do know. But we do know that the longer it stays on a child's head, the more is absorbed."
Consumer Reports said Ric and Nix are far safer. These over-the-counter medications use relatively safe insecticide. It's essential to use a fine-tooth comb on a child's hair to remove the lice and their eggs.
Lice can even become resistant to pesticides over time.
If over-the-counter medications aren't working, experts said parents should see their doctor for advice on the best treatment.
