With the Berlin Film Festival launching tomorrow, aside from Wong Kar-Wai's The Grandmaster, one of our most-anticipated titles in the bunch is easily the next film from Iran's Jafar Panahi. After delivering the stellar documentary This is Not a Film last year, he's set to bow Closed Curtain at the festival next week and we've got the first stills and official synopsis for the film he co-directed with Kamboziya Partovi.
Running 106 minutes, the film will see the director blurring the lines of narrative, fiction and reality once again. Check out the rundown and images below for the film starring our directors, along with Maryam Moghada, Hadi Saeedi, Azadeh Toradi, Agha Olia and Zeynab Khanum.
They are both on the run: the man with the dog he isn't allowed to own because Islamic law deems it to be unclean, and the young woman who took part in an illicit party on the shores of the Caspian Sea. They barricade themselves into a secluded villa with curtained windows and eye each other suspiciously. Why has he shaved his head? How does she know he is being followed by the police? They are both now prisoners in a house without a view in the midst of a hostile environment. The voices of police can be heard in the distance, but so too can the calming sound of the sea. One time they look at the night sky full of stars before again withdrawing behind their protective walls.
Are we looking at outlaws, in all senses of the word? Or are the man and the young woman merely phantoms, figments of the imagination of a filmmaker who is no longer allowed to work? The director enters the scene and the curtains are pulled open. Reality reinstates itself, but fiction closes in on it again and again. An absurd situation: two characters from a screenplay, both searching for and observing their director.
Closed Curtain premieres on February 12th at Berlin Film Festival.
With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options — not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves — we believe it's our duty to highlight the recent, recommended titles that have recently hit the interwebs. Every week, one will be able to see the cream of the crop (or perhaps some simply interesting picks) of [...]
Since any New York City cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options, we figured it'd be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list. Displayed below are a few of the city's most reliable theaters and links to screenings of their weekend offerings — films you're not [...]
Grand Piano is a film that is so masterfully done that it seems silly one would ever have doubts that the story could be pulled off. Much of that has to do with the work of the blossoming director Eugenio Mira, who actually created animatics of the film to get everyone on the same page. Starring Elijah Wood as [...]

From his new mixtape Blackballed, available now.
I don't care how good their raps are–rappers need to fall back off jumping on another guy's music too soon. Especially when they aren't even bringing anything new to the track. Either put out an original song or spit over an older beat. Pusha's album hasn't even dropped yet and this joint is like maybe week old–can you let the song breathe Papoose??? smh
I couldn't agree more. It's a cheap shot. It would have been one thing if Papoose was releasing new material, new albums on a steady basis, then pulling this. But after a very anticipated album (that I copped mind you) which sounded outdated, the whole Control bandwagon incident and the shots at other rappers, this sort of makes Paps look desperate for attention. He needs to just part ways with Kay Slay. They're like hip hops Triforce and Justin Wong.

Iran has failed to address the risk of terrorist financing and money laundering
Top stock exchanges BSE and NSE have asked market participants to exercise caution in dealing with entities linked to Iran, pursuant to a fresh warning from market regulator Sebi about possible money laundering and terror financing risks from that country.
In a circular issued today, BSE told its member brokers that the exchange has been informed by Sebi about a FATF public statement against the jurisdictions having strategic AML/CFT (Anti-Money Laundering/Combating Financing of Terrorism) deficiencies.
FATF (Financial Action Task Force) is a global inter-governmental body for making policies for combating money laundering, terrorist financing and other related threats to the international financial system.
The BSE has asked its members to ensure compliance with the FATF statement about Iran's persisting failure to address the risk of terrorist financing and money laundering. The NSE has also issued a similar circular to its members.
Sebi's direction to the stock exchanges follows an FATF warning, dated June 22, on Iran and North Korea in its tri- annual compliance status of various countries to its AML/CFT standards.
FATF reviews the status of various jurisdictions in complying with these standards thrice a year -- February, June and October -- and accordingly issues warnings to all the member countries, including India, about dealings with jurisdictions with deficiencies in mechanism to check money laundering and terror funding risks.
As per an established process, the FATF warning on Iran and North Korea is forwarded by the Indian government to its key financial sector regulators, including Sebi and RBI, which subsequently advise the institutions in their respective areas to apply caution in dealings with the entities and funds from the FATF-identified high-risk jurisdictions.
Earlier this year, the 36-member FATF had appreciated the Indian government's efforts to combat money laundering and financing of terrorism.
India became a member of FATF in June, 2010, while its other member countries include the US, UK, Russia, South Korea, Japan, China, Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Germany and Australia.
In its latest warning, the FATF has asked India and other countries to "apply counter-measures to protect the international financial system from the on-going and substantial money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF) risks" emanating from Iran and North Korea.
It has said that the "FATF remains particularly and exceptionally concerned about Iran's failure to address the risk of terrorist financing and the serious threat this poses to the integrity of the international financial system".
Pursuant to this purchase, their total holding rose to 11.2% in the company, crossing a threshold limit of 10% to attract the provisions of Sebi's ...

KSDK-TV parent company to buy KMOV-TV's parent company
Two St. Louis television stations are about to get a little cozier, as their parent companies become one. Virginia-based Gannett Company, which owns KSDK (Channel 5) is buying Dallas-based Belo Corporation, which owns KMOV (Channel 4).
If Belo shareholders and the Federal Communications Commission sign off on the $1.5 billion deal, Gannett will grow from 23 stations nationwide, to 43.
Because of the FCC's media ownership limits, KMOV and four other Belo Stations will operate under the independent ownership of Jack Sanders. The Phoenix man is a former Belo executive.
Gannet officials say the news and sales operations at KMOV will stay independent from those at KSDK.
Gannett merges with Belo in $2.2 billion media deal
Gannett Co., the owner of USA TODAY and other newspaper and television properties, including KSDK-TV, across the USA and United Kingdom, announced Thursday that it is entering into a definitive merger agreement with Belo Corp., catapulting Gannett into the nation's fourth-largest owner of major network affiliates reaching nearly a third of U.S. households.
Belo owns and operates 20 TV stations -nine in the top 25 markets - and their associated websites.
The acquisition nearly doubles Gannett's current broadcast portfolio from 23 to 43 stations, including stations to be serviced by Gannett through shared services or similar sharing arrangements.
Gannett will acquire all outstanding shares of Belo for $13.75 per share in cash, or approximately $1.5 billion, plus assume $715 million in existing debt for an enterprise value of approximately $2.2 billion. The transaction, which has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies, represents a 28.1% premium to the closing price of Belo common stock on June 12, 2013.
President and Chief Executive Officer Gracia Martore of Gannett, said, "We are thrilled to bring together two highly respected media companies with rich histories of award-winning journalism, operational excellence and strong brand leadership."
Belo's President and Chief Executive Officer Dunia Shive said, "This is an outstanding and financially compelling transaction for our shareholders. It is also a testament to the tremendous value our employees have created over Belo's long history and to the strength of our brand in the media industry."
Headquartered in McLean, Virginia, Gannett engages more than 100 million people every month through its network of broadcast, digital, mobile and publishing properties. In addition to USA TODAY, Gannett owns regional newspapers such as the Detroit Free Press and The Courier-Journal in Louisville, Ky.
Shares (GCI) in Gannett closed down 1.59% on Wednesday but have soared to $19.85 from $12.50 in July as the company has aggressively pursued efforts to diversity its business model.
Gannett earned $104.6 million, or 44 cents per share, in the January-March period. That was up from $68.2 million, or 28 cents per share, a year earlier. Revenue grew 1.6% to $1.24 billion from $1.22 billion.

After months of delays, problematic sample clearances and promises, Saigon and Atlantic Records have finally set a release date for his highly anticipated debut LP, The Greatest Story Never Told. According to MTV News, the album will hit stores on December 4. "I feel good about the timing, and I'm totally confident about coming in the fourth quarter with the big dogs," Saigon told MTV. Earlier this year, Saigon and the albums executive producer, Just Blaze, went back in forth on their respective blogs over the reasons for the albums delay. At issue was the clearance of a sample for Saigitty's first single "C'mon Baby." The track was eventually cleared and a video was shot last month in New York City. Just also premiered a remix of the cut that features Jay-Z during a get together at the Def Jam bosses 40/40 sports bar in Manhattan.

The great cat massacre and other episodes in French cultural historyWhen the apprentices of a Paris printing shop in the 1730's held a series of mock trials and then hanged all the cats they could lay their hands on, why did they find it so hilariously funny that they choked with laughter when they reenacted it in pantomime some twenty times? Why in the 18th century version of "Little Red Riding Hood" did the wolf eat the child at the end? What did the anonymous townsman of Montpelier have in mind when he kept an exhaustive dossier on all the activities of his native city? These are some of the provocative questions Robert Darnton attempts to answer in this dazzling series of essays that probe the ways of thought in what we like to call "The Age of Enlightenment." |

Groovy! John Sellers brings Bruce Campbell Watch back from the dead
by Danny Gallagher, posted Sep 10th 2009 10:03AM
Some have made the argument that actor Ted McGinley is the patron saint of all things television. I mean, sure Teddy-M.C. has a wide and varied career and holds the power to destroy entire series with his very presence.
Well Mr. McGinley, I've met Bruce Campbell (once, almost, it's a long story). I know Bruce Campbell (not really, but Bob probably knows him better than I do). And you, sir, are no Bruce Campbell.
And just to prove it, let me pose a question: has anyone ever held a "Ted McGinley Watch" in his television honor? I didn't think so. Writer and blogger John Sellers has revived the annual TV tradition on his popular True/Slant blog.

Bahrain to open fifth nutrition clinic
Manama, December 26, 2011
Bahrain's fifth specialised nutrition clinic is expected to open in the coming months to promote healthy lifestyles, said a top official.
However, the location is yet to be confirmed as the clinic could open its doors in either Manama or Riffa.
"It will open either in Manama or Riffa in the coming months," said Health Ministry public health directorate nutrition section head Dr Nadia Gharib.
Dr Gharib spoke to our sister publication, the Gulf Daily News, on the sidelines of the Gulf committee meeting for combating non-communicable diseases (NCD) held at the K Hotel, Juffair.
The ministry runs four nutrition clinics at the National Bank of Bahrain Health Centre in Dair, Arad, Hamad Town and East Riffa.
The clinics help patients tackle obesity, diabetes and hypertension as they are examined by a team of experts, dieticians and health education specialists.
As part of the ministry's ambitious plan, it intends to provide treatment to citizens and residents throughout the five governorates.
There are three key factors to staying healthy and avoiding NCDs: avoiding smoking, daily physical activity and a healthy diet, said the ministry's health promotion directorate head Dr Amal Al Jowder.
"If we (GCC) do not act now then in 20 years the statistics of people suffering from NCDs would double," warned Al Jowder.
Meanwhile, Omani health ministry adviser Dr Ali Jaffer said a healthy lifestyle is an "expensive option" compared with an unhealthy one which is easy, cheap and viable for all.
"Fish which is healthy and rich in nutritional value is expensive while fast food that is unhealthy is cheap," said Dr Jaffer, who was one of the several GCC delegates attending yesterday's meeting.
"I also think the perception or thinking of people needs to change because they have full control of their health. The notion that one is getting older and is bound to contract diseases should change."
He also blamed the low tobacco taxes in GCC countries compared with the West, saying it encourages smokers and an unhealthy habit.
In Bahrain, NCDs are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, which are monitored during a surveillance phase in primary health care and clinics.
Last year, the Health Ministry registered 2,388 deaths of which 379 (16 per cent) were due to circulatory system diseases, 306 (13 per cent) cancer-related, 187 (8 per cent) due to endocrine and metabolic disorders, including diabetes, and 148 (6 per cent) from diseases of respiratory system.
The ministry conducted its previous national NCD risk factors survey in 2007 which covered respondents between the ages of 19 and 65.
It revealed that diabetes in the target group was 14.3 per cent, hypertension 38.2 per cent, cholesterol level high in 40.6 per cent and overall prevalence of obesity 36.3 per cent.
In addition, 57.1 per cent of the respondents said they did not undertake any form of physical activity, resulting in an overall figure of 32.9 per cent who were overweight. – TradeArabia News Service

Moffett Field, CA (PRWEB)
The M2M and IoT ecosystem includes a diverse set of participants from end users, enterprises, telecom providers, cloud vendors to device manufacturers. This makes ensuring security and privacy of shared information a critical requirement. To address these issues, NIST recently released the Preliminary Cyber Security Framework based on feedback from more than 3,000 individuals and public-private organizations on standards, best practices and guidelines. The Preliminary Framework outlines a set of steps that can be customized to various sectors and adapted by both large and small organizations while providing a consistent approach to cyber security. The goal of the framework is to provide businesses, their suppliers, their customers and government agencies with guidelines for protecting critical information and IT infrastructure.
M2M Cyber Security includes patented secure Lockbox technology, which enables organizations to implement security and advanced privacy policies for fine-grained control of their M2M and IoT infrastructure and data flow. Lockbox technology ensures multiple levels of privacy by allowing participants to authenticate but remain anonymous, require separate keys so that creators and consumers of data can be completely segregated as well as optionally use encryption. Compared to many implementations that focus on either security or privacy, M2M Cyber Security makes it easy to define polices based on guidelines from the NIST Cyber Security framework, thus ensuring security as well as privacy of their M2M and IoT business.
M2M and IoT environments connect not just consumer devices, but also IT and critical infrastructure such as power grids, telecom networks etc. Therefore, any disruption has significant implications for resilience, security and privacy and hence Cyber Security is the appropriate paradigm for M2M and IoT security. We are very pleased to align our platform with the NIST Cyber Security framework to ensure multiple levels of privacy for our customers, without compromising high levels of security, says
M2Mi provides the M2M Intelligence® platform, which includes M2M Automation and M2M Cyber Security, as the essential technology foundation for M2M and IoT offerings. By bundling global telecom bandwidth and data services with the M2M Intelligence® platform, M2Mi provides an integrated solution to enable enterprises to rapidly deploy revenue-generating M2M and IoT services.

China Real Time
This video breaks down what Bernanke is doing – he is doing what governments have always done:
China's government statistics dude just said there is no inflation at all and it is all western conspiracy.
China's government statistics dude just said there is no inflation at all and it is all western conspiracy.
China, or any country, should be most concerned with inflation from the housing or property aspect. For any fast developing nation, the land price is bound to shot up drastically, especially if the country allow rich persons or nations to invest (rightly speculate) in property to amass quick bucks. For our posterity, all should control the land ownership, land price and speculation. In my view, all gains from property value should be taxed heavily if it is sold within, say 3 to 5 years, and any gain of over say, 10% pa should be charged with huge excess profit tax. We should learn from the experience of many countries, like Hong Kong or Japan, where non of the young graduates can afford owning their own house, without the support of their parents.
Is anyone going to consider the massive stimulus and bank lending (e.g. monetary expansion via loan-deposits) may be causing the surge in prices? The idea that workers are suddenly demanding more wages and driving up food prices and vice versa is inadequate.
A backlash in response to a proposal to raise the salaries of China's civil servants points to a major dilemma that the Chinese leadership faces in its efforts to stamp out corruption, writes CRT political analyst Russell Leigh Moses.
This year marks the third in a row that China's official military spending is projected to outpace GDP growth. The question is how great this divergence will become, and how long it can continue, write Andrew Erickson and Adam Liff.
A scandal over a brutal assault on a nurse by a Chinese government official illustrates how the Communist Party's undermines itself through its obsession with control online, writes Russell Leigh Moses.
A brief document from Chinese leader Xi Jinping, largely ignored in the English-speaking world until recently, suggests high-level support for limited but important legal reforms, writes veteran China legal scholar Stanley Lubman.
The unusual confession a low-level Chinese official reveals just how entrenched corruption is in the country, writes CRT politics analyst Russell Leigh Moses.

Oh wind your neck in ffs.Originally Posted by A4Quattro
I don't give a toss how wiper motors work, or how you think they work. The fact of the matter is that, on my car, when you wash-wipe, the final downstroke is much slower than all the previous sweeps. Not all of them, just the final downstroke. This is not up for debate, it's a fact.
You're the one spouting the #####. During normal operation, the wipers come to rest at a specific point after each sweep. When they're switched off however (or are on auto and haven't swept for a while due to lack of rain) they park themselves at a position lower than the normal operational rest position. This position varies each time they park. This is easily seen by pressing the stalk down to provoke a single sweep, they will park in a slightly different position on each successive operation.Yet again, total #####!
This is another thing that would cost a significant amount of extra money and electronics to acheive. The wiper motor just goes round and round, it doesn't know where the wipers are in relation to the windscreen, thats done by the linkage. and i think you'll find IF what you say was the truth, then the wipers would have to stop on the upward stroke in a different position everytime to eliminate wear there too... keep taking the medication.

Girl, 5, killed at vintage steam fair in Cornwall
A five-year-old girl has died after being struck by a slow moving vehicle in a field at the Lanlivery Vintage Rally.
The tragic incident occurred at 11.40am yesterday as the child attended the event near Lostwithiel with her foster parents.
She was treated by paramedics less than a minute after being struck as they were present at the show on a display stand within 100m of the location.
The little girl, from Devon, was airlifted to Derriford Hospital where she later died.

Valid until: Monday, March 31 2014
A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police said: "CPR was being undertaken at the point the air ambulance lifted from the scene.
"Local police attended, later being joined by officers from the Bodmin Serious Collisions Investigation Unit who will conduct a full investigation into the incident.
"The child was with her foster parents who live in Devon, her details are not being released at this time until interested parties are all aware."
They said the two day show would continue today as planned, with the grieving family's agreement.
Organiser Diane Williams said the girl was hit by an "old-fashioned" four wheel drive vehicle that had been reversing slowly in the field.
She said: "It was a tragic accident. It was not the driver's fault but he feels awful as you can imagine.
"The girl's family attended a church service at the site today which was very moving. We have never had an accident before in 28 years. It is appalling."
The Lanlivery Vintage Rally, Steam Fair and Country Fair is held on the second weekend of September each year and raises money for local charities, this year including the Cornwall Air Ambulance.
The show posted a message on their Facebook site yesterday evening saying: "A tragic accident occurred at the Rally today. The family involved have expressed a wish that the Rally should continue today and tomorrow, particularly as it is raising money for the Air Ambulance which came to help.
"The family and the Rally organisers request that this incident is not talked about on Facebook as it is very upsetting for the family at this sensitive time.
"Great sympathy goes out to the family from the Rally Organisers and the people of Lanlivery."
The Health & Safety Executive were informed of the girl's death but did not attend the scene yesterday.

Samsung Electronics Co., the massive Korean conglomerate, said Friday that its profit in the fourth quarter rose 76 percent to $6.6 billion, an all-time record.
Samsung's revenue of 56.1 trillion won was an increase of 18.5 percent over the same period last year, the Wall Street Journal reported. Samsung's U.S. unit, Samsung Telecommunications America, is based in Richardson.
The company said that its cellphones and telecom equipment businesses accounted for 62 percent of its fourth-quarter profit. Samsung was the world's largest seller of smartphones in the quarter, the Journal said.
Samsung ended the year with a record 23.8 trillion won net profit, far surpassing the previous record of 16.2 trillion won in 2010, the Journal said.

Parking wardens will be getting a friendly makeover as the council regains control of its parking services.
Wellington City Council is bringing its parking services back in house from July next year, after a behind-closed-doors debate by the transport and urban development committee yesterday.
But while the council says the move will improve service and allow better use of technology, it won't mean savings for drivers.
"None of this will make any difference to the parking price," committee chairman Andy Foster said yesterday.
Mayor Celia Wade-Brown said there was no need to drop prices, because the current charges, which at their highest are $4 an hour in the CBD, allowed a good level of turnover, which was good for business.
However, parking wardens would be operating in a different way, Mr Foster said. They would be given new uniforms and encouraged to act like "ambassadors" for Wellington, offering help and directions for visitors, and keeping an eye on facilities such as rubbish bins.
The change would also make it easier to introduce better technology that would improve service by removing delays caused by having to alter contracts when new systems were introduced, he said.
That included introducing text parking, by which people would get alerts that their metered time was about to expire and would be able to top it up from smartphones.
There would also be easier ways for people to buy residents' and coupon parking online, and deal directly with council staff over complaints.
"We will also save money and have more direct control - which will lead to a more nimble service - one that can make changes and respond to the needs of the city and the public more effectively," Mr Foster said. Ms Wade-Brown said the shift in-house "made sense from a financial, a reputation and a technology point of view".
Parking wardens, who were previously considered contractors, will now be directly employed by the council and therefore eligible for the living wage, to which councillors agreed last week.
Service and Food Workers Union national secretary John Ryall said raising the pay of wardens - at present about $14.10 an hour - to the $18.40 living wage was great news, provided existing wardens were able to shift to working for the council.
"Our parking warden members are working up to 70 hours a week and are on rates as low as $14.10 an hour, no matter how much experience they have," he said.
The council said present contractors Tenix and Parkwise had been informed of the decision, and it would provide opportunities for their staff to apply for jobs.

California court limits picketing in front of shops
- Renée Frojo
- Reporter- San Francisco Business Times
- Email | Twitter | Google+
In what seems to be a win-win for both retailers and labor unions, the California Supreme Court on Thursday upheld state labor laws allowing unions to picket directly in front of store entrances.
However, the court also ruled that storeowners and shopping centers are allowed to limit free speech from other protesters, such as religious groups and signature gatherers.
The long-awaited ruling in Ralphs Grocery v. United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 8 reverses a 2010 decision by Sacramento's Third District Court of Appeals that deemed California's labor laws unconstitutional, giving retailers the right to stop picketing in front of their stores.
The case stems from Ralphs Grocery's earlier attempt in 2008 to restrict the time, place and manner of picketing and other "expressive activities" outside of its nonunion Foods Co. warehouse stores. Pickßeters ignored the grocery store and encouraged people not to shop there because its employees were not unionized.
Ralphs then challenged the constitutionality of California's 1975 Moscone Act, which prevents courts from enjoining peaceful picketing.
Thursday's ruling confirmed that the areas outside retailers' storefronts are not public forums under the state constitution's liberty of speech provision and therefore certain picketers have no right to enact their free speech in front of any retailer's doors, aprons, walkways and parking lots. Labor unions are the exception.
Morrison & Foerster partners Miriam Vogel and Timothy Ryan, which represented Ralphs, called the decision a "year-end gift" to California retailers.

Getting high school students to pay attention to anything can be a challenge. But at a recent show put on by the UCLA Sex Squad, a performance troupe of college students from the University of California, Los Angeles, the audience of ninth-graders was interacting, reacting, and laughing—and amazingly, no one was busy texting.
Masturbation, orgasms, and loving your body aren't typical topics of a high school assembly, but the Sex Squad tackles all these issues and more in their hilarious and innovative performances, which will soon reach high school students around the nation. A project of UCLA's Art and Global Health Center, the Sex Squad was conceived in 2008 by David Gere, a UCLA arts and culture professor and the founder and director of the AGHC, and brother of actor Richard Gere.
"The first time we realized the possible power of using a performance by college students for high school students was when the Art and Global Health Center developed a project called Make Art Stop AIDS at [UCLA's] Fowler Museum," Gere told HIV Plus before a recent Sex Squad presentation. "As soon as we began working on that exhibition, we thought of ways to involve high school students."

When it comes to buying video games, many of us can remember making a purchase we later regretted. Video game marketing is designed to encourage people to make quick decisions based on cool graphics or a sensational trailer. But, when you get the game home you find that the game play is not all that great or that the difficulty level leaves much to be desired. With that in mind, here are some tips for buying video games that might help you avoid making bad choices.
1. Don't fall into the "gotta have it now" trap
Video game marketers want to fool you into thinking that, not only do you need the game, but you need it the day it comes out. By centering large promotions around a particular release date, companies guarantee good numbers for initial sales. This also ensures that they will get some level of sales even if the game's reviews end up being bad. So don't fall prey to this trap. Even though it's tempting to be one of the first to have the game, it's much more prudent to wait a few weeks after release to get some feedback on the game's quality. Additionally, the price will soon go down from it's release-date sticker. If you can wait it out you'll be able to buy more wisely and economically.
2. Don't buy a game without reading some reviews of it
Good decisions are informed decisions, and you shouldn't make an investment in a game unless you already know it's of a certain quality. Game trailers can look amazing and tell you nothing about the quality of the game itself. Even screen shots don't tell you much, as companies can simply use the best graphical portions of the game to grace the back of their packages. Try to read both professional and typical user reviews to get an idea of the true quality of the game. After you feel pretty confident the game is a good one, only then should you shell out the cash for it.
3. Shop with the long-term in mind
It's easy to be drawn in by games that look new and intriguing, but you know your tastes better than anyone else. Think about what games tend to hold your interest for the long-term and try to buy mostly those types of games. It's okay to try something new every now and then, but try to keep your library stocked with your favorite type of game, as it's sure to give you the longest amount of game play.
4. Shop the bargain bins
There are also steep discounts to be had on games that are a couple years old. Although game technology progresses quickly, it doesn't move so fast as to make games of two years ago obsolete. You can get games for deep price cuts that will provide you with dozens of hours of game play, and the price is surely worth it. These discount games are a great way to keep yourself occupied while you save up for the next blockbuster.

Description: Floating Clouds is set in the dissolution of Japanese society after the war. Yukiko wanders figuratively and literally through a devastated Tokyo searching for a means of existence and comfort. At all turns, she is manipulated by men and forced to submit to their manipulations when she is unable to support herself. Returning to Tokyo at the end of the war, Yukiko tries to get a number of jobs but none of her attempts are successful. As a result she turns to prostitution, catering to American occupation forces. During this time a number of men, including her brother-in-law and her former lover Tomioka, come forward to help her, but their generosity is only a mask for their sexual desires. Eventually Tomioka's wife dies and he takes Yukiko to an island where he is to begin a new job. Their happiness is forestalled when Yukiko, sorely tried by her life, falls ill and dies.~ Brian Whitener, All Movie Guide

London riots: Britain deserves Chinese derision today
Usually it's the job of China correspondents to report upon the flickering flames of social unrest and suck their thumbs about what it all means for the future sustainability of China's autocratic society.
But this morning I stepped off a night flight from London to Beijing to see reports of urban Britain in flames for a third night running and found myself marvelling, as I surveyed the calm of downtown Beijing, at this latest example of how the world is being turned on its head.
It's not surprising that China's official media has indulged its impulse for schadenfreude, delighting in the failing of our institutions and wondering if Britain should have taken a leaf out of China's autocratic playbook and banned Twitter.
That may sound laughable – and is – but it reflects the Chinese view that Britain should put her own house in order before dispensing lectures. The next time a British diplomat or visiting leader comes to lecture the Chinese on the virtues of democracy, free media and robust civil society – and how China must mimic these institutions to create enduring stability – you can be sure that they'll be met with even greater contempt than usual.
Not that Britain is theoretically wrong about those beliefs, but increasingly we are making fools out of ourselves by presuming to think that anyone wants to listen to us expound upon them.
Already, behind the scenes, Britain's diplomats are being routinely and brusquely reminded by China of our country's diminished status (particularly since the onset of financial crisis in 2007) and this latest display of public incontinence and police impotence is only going to make it worse.
We are about to stage the Olympic Games and yet, to judge by some of the TV pictures being shown in China today, the forces of law and order are being vanquished by a posse of sullen teenagers looting their local branch of Curry's.
Viewed from Beijing, these riots are simply embarrassing: trivial in the purview of a rising world power, they speak of a raggedness in Britain's social fabric that has shocked many Chinese who think of Britain as a civilised place to go and get a civilised education.
How many rich Chinese will now be reconsidering decisions to invest in that property on Hyde Park Corner? Or a weekend shopping trip to Bond Street? Or a place for their children at a leading British independent school? You could hardly blame them if they were.
And while there might well be a section of British opinion that would be delighted if they never saw another Chinese investor in London again, that is exactly the kind of complacent, insular attitude that needs to be overcome if Britain is ever to compete in China's world.
