Nokia Imaging SDK 1.1
With the Nokia Imaging SDK 1.1, you have access to a powerful library of exciting image manipulation tools, which makes creating the next generation of imaging apps for Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8.1 devices quicker and easier. Designed from the ground up with performance and a low memory footprint in mind, the library's functions don't put a strain on the user's device, which makes editing high resolution images swift and engaging. In fact, the technology behind the Nokia Imaging SDK is well proven, as Nokia uses it to create its own imaging applications, such as Creative Studio.
Now hundreds of developers are also using the SDK to create great imaging experiences for Windows Phone users. Check out Pikura and Smart Resize, winners of Nokia Developer competitions, and many other apps that use the SDK here.
Features and capabilities
The following features are included in the 1.1 release of the Nokia Imaging SDK:
- Partial JPEG decoding
Using RAJPEG technology, access image data without decoding a whole JPEG image for blazingly fast previews, application of effects, rotation, and cropping of high resolution images. - Compatible with Imaging SDK 1.0
The SDK update builds on the stable 1.0 release by maintaining API compatibility and enabling a seamless upgrade path for developers using the earlier version. The API is available from both managed (C# and VB) and native (C++) code, is really simple to use, and comes with a range of intuitive classes and methods. - Windows 8.1 support
Illustrating the potential of Windows platform convergence, the library is now available on Windows 8.1 (x86 and ARM) as a single codebase with no API breaks, making it possible for you to reuse a lot of your code when porting across Windows and Windows Phone. - Over 50 filters, effects, and enhancements
The library comes packed with effects, filters, and enhancements for you to use; from the simple, such as auto-enhance, frame, and brightness to those with advanced capabilities such as chromakay, adjusting RGB levels, hue, and saturation. The Nokia Imaging SDK 1.1 release also includes Interactive Foreground segmentation, Lens Blur (Bokeh) and single image HDR effect. - Roll your own
It is also possible to create entirely custom filters for your own unique effects. - Crop, resize, rotate, and undo
Cropping, rotating, and resizing is supported; you can crop and rotate in one step with the Reframing API. What's more you can take advantage of the built-in unlimited undo functionality to encourage users try out different filters and combinations without fear of losing anything. - Use the camera as a source
Use the Camera Helper API for easier access to camera functionality. - Even more powerful than before
The latest release has been further enhanced with performance and memory optimizations, making it possible to create beautiful imaging experiences even on low spec devices. - Compatibility
Windows 8.1 (x86 and ARM binaries), Windows Phone 8.0.
Example apps
The Lumia Developer's Library provides fully featured example apps, with full source code, from which you can discover some of the possibilities and features of the SDK.
- Filter
A simple and easy to understand demonstration of filters, with real-time manipulation of filter properties. The processed image can be saved in JPEG format into the Camera Roll. Now also available for Windows 8.1.

Demonstrating the Nokia Imaging SDK chroma key filter by making a color transparent from the camera viewfinder and by showing either a video or transparency checker board pattern in the background. Tap on the upper original viewfinder to select a chroma key color and use the color distance slider to adjust the threshold of the color range to be made transparent. Tap on the lower modified viewfinder to toggle between a video background and a "transparent" background. Doesn't support capturing or saving photos.

Get the sample code ›
- Real-time Blend Demo
Demonstrating real-time use of the blend filter provided by the Nokia Imaging SDK. The selected texture, using the selected blend mode and blend effect level, is applied to a stream received from the camera and shown in the viewfinder. The user can explore the results using different textures, blend modes, and blend effect levels. Doesn't support capturing or saving photos.
Get the sample code ›
- Lens Blur
Demonstrating usage of Interactive Foreground Segmenter to create a mask (foreground/background), after which Lens Blur Effect (aka "bokeh") is applied to the areas that were marked as background, using the user selectable blur kernel shape and size.

Morning meal is recognized as the most significant meal of all the meals. If at all possible, it should consist of food products low in fat plus loaded with necessary protein. The actual list of high protein foods usage need to keep on the whole day. The digestive tract creates aminos by simply breaking the proteins, and also our own body makes use of them to heal the muscle tissue and additionally cells, while keeping the bodily organs hydrated. Serious weightlifters are specially taking good care of the proteins plus the portions these people eat. It's because proteins help them to create good muscle tissue. For weight lifters, some sort of high-protein morning meal is very important.
Possibly the ideal protein source will be the eggs. The particular proteins present in chicken eggs are really important simply because they are members of the group of complete proteins. The actual proteins within chicken eggs are consequently broken into aminos. That egg yolk is really beneficial due to its proteins, fats as well as good cholesterol contained in it. We presume you really don't need to have any kind of recipes on how to prepare chicken eggs, simply because everyone can make a good omelet or even boil eggs.
Healthy protein drinks, also know as the favorite smoothies, certainly are a very simple mix of various nuts, fruit along with milk. Body builders primarily like shakes because it's a tremendous help in the muscle development activity, plus it raises the function in our intestinal tract. Protein drinks could also increase our metabolism and allow us to get rid of excess fat faster and easier.
Follow the link below for more information
Additionally, there are different food, that can help you start out your entire day in a best way, to illustrate, grape fruit or simply orange juice. They are really rich in natural vitamins, minerals as well as necessary protein on top of that. At the same time, it is possible to sip milk each morning which we strongly suggest in case you don't have lactose intolerance.
There does exist a very important factor you must steer clear of, and that is certainly to start out the day with a coffee. It will always be far better to drink a full cup of pure juices. It's also a bad idea to avoid your main morning meal simply because you could truly feel drained and sleepy. To prevent this, normally try and have a good morning meal.

Community hospitals scramble to survive, stay independent
Quincy Medical's woes mirror the financial troubles facing many independent community hospitals nationwide that are not part of a health system or owned by a chain. Banks have grown reluctant to hand out loans in a lagging economy, making it difficult for hospitals to pay for capital improvements. Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates haven't kept up with hospitals' costs, administrators say. And many independent hospitals lack the clout to get higher payments from insurers and steeper discounts from suppliers because they aren't part of larger hospital systems, says Samuel Steinberg, a hospital consultant in Daytona Beach, Fla.
The new health overhaul law could exacerbate those financial problems. For example, it will require hospitals to adopt electronic health records and track and report patient outcomes. That will put more pressure on hospital profit margins, which average 1% to 2%, Steinberg says. The law also will make further cutbacks in Medicare and Medicaid payments.

City of Homes Organization, Inc. (CoHo) will be kicking off its campaign to fund the nomination of the "Heart of Berwyn Neighborhood" to the National Register of Historic Places with an event on Saturday, October 5. This second annual CoHo Fundraiser will showcase one of Berwyn's finest historic homes and will feature food, an open bar, music and a silent auction. Proceeds from this fundraiser will be used to conduct the research and assessments necessary to initiate the nomination process.
The fundraiser also will honor Senator Martin Sandoval (11th District), who passed a resolution honoring the Berwyn Bungalow and proclaiming the first week in May as Bungalow Appreciation Week in Illinois. Tickets to the event are $50 and can be purchased at www.cityofhomes.org.
The "Heart of Berwyn Neighborhood," located between Harlem and Ridgeland Avenues and Cermak Road and the Depot District, has been recommended for historic designation by the City of Berwyn's Comprehensive Plan. If nominated, the district will be the one of the largest bungalow districts on the National Register, and will help to create awareness of our City's neighborhoods' and historic importance, coalesce pride of place under a brand that is attractive to current and potential home and business owners, and promote the importance of preserving and protecting the historic homes in the community.
The CITY OF HOMES ORGANIZATION, INC. is an Illinois not-for-profit corporation that is dedicated to promoting the preservation, redevelopment, adaptive reuse and continued viability of Berwyn's historic housing stock and in making Berwyn the primary destination in the Chicago area for families and individuals seeking an affordable, walkable, location-efficient and transit-orientated community.

When you make your own products, craft fairs can be a fun way to make sales. You get to show your work and talk to people about it, and hopefully make money. It can also be a frustrating experience if you haven't prepared for the fair properly.
Even finding a craft fair can be difficult. Local newspapers can be very helpful for finding listings; you can also ask other crafts people about upcoming fairs. Churches and schools may also hold craft fairs you could attend.
Make sure you have enough stock for the fair. There's nothing like not having enough merchandise to meet the demand! For your first few, you will have to guess about how much merchandise you will need. If you know someone else who goes to craft fairs, do not be afraid to aske their opinion. Have a full range of styles as well and decide in advance if you will accept custom orders.
Find out in advance what the fair provides and what you will need to bring for your setup. If all you get is a table, bring something plain to cover it.
Have someone along to help you make sales. Otherwise, you will have a very difficult time getting meal and bathroom breaks.
Have a rough idea of how you want to set your table up. Have some sort of sense to the layout of your products. Most important, make sure they all have prices, so you don't have to look it up or keep answering such a basic question. Have spare price tags to replace any that fall off.
Be ready to negotiate. Many people will ask if they can get a discount if they buy more than one item.
Decide if your prices include tax. Making all your prices be either inclusive of tax or calculated so that they come to an even dollar amount can save you a lot of time in making change.
Keep track of your most popular items for future reference. This is very useful information for future fairs, especially if it continues for several fairs. This will also tell you if a product simply is not moving.
Keep your money safe. A money belt may be a good idea. A locked box works as well, but make sure you keep a good eye on it, as they are easily carried away.
At the end of the day, do not let exhaustion or excitement carry you away. Pack up neatly and leave your space in good condition. This will encourage the craft fair sponsors to inform you of the next craft fair.
After you are home, evaluate how your day went. Note especially what sold well, what got a lot of attention but wasn't selling, and what just didn't move at all. Think about any comments, positive or negative, customers made about your products. These can help you improve your products for the future. Were your prices right? Did you make a profit for the day? It is very important to know whether or not a particular craft fair is generally worth your time. Look at why things did not work, from poor sales to customer comments on pricing.

This week I have been invited by FON Festival veteran and fellow dweller on the periphery Antye Greie to participate in a conference looking at art in remote places. The conference is taking place on the island of Hailuoto (near Oulu in Northern Finland) in various spaces including the village cafe, a hotel in the fishing port and various places only accessible by walking through the woods that cover most of the island. I've now been here for 5 days so have had plenty of time to prepare and get a sense of the place. So far this has included watching Finland win (then lose) an important ice hockey match, exploring the North shore at night (it doesn't get dark), cycling into town through the woods for supplies and collecting flat stones for a piezo workshop. I also visited Sasu (Vladislav Delay) and Antye's amazing home studio and picked up a few ideas for the Octopus radio room…
On Friday I visited the local school with Antye to sit in on an editing session for the City Rings project – an international project for young people to create and exchange sound and sonic postcards drawing upon their environment. In this session we caught up with sounds that the other groups in Enfield and Portugal had been recording and composed 3 sonic postcards using Radial and Garageband. Here's what they sounded like.
The attic of the Marjaniemi tourist info centre is hosting a series of installations and residencies by sound artists, starting today with Carsten Stabenow's 'Line-Tilt' a series of long strings that resonate in response to the wind. By the evening the whole building was starting to gently sing, accompanied by the whirring drone of the radar tower next door. Carsten is the initiator and artistic director of the Tuned City project.
Sound Room installation in progress yesterday. The room opens to the public on Friday. The conference starts tomorrow – read more about it and the Hai Art project in general here.

As a box, you're just the moderately-animate object to do it, though you're going to need a little help along the way.
Enter the eerie world of a playground at night and try to escape before becoming totally creeped out in this fun new escape from Dassyutu.

You've got bubbles. You've got letters. And you've got a powerful need to spell some words, all while swapping orbs against the clock.

Your goal is to spell four letter and above words, eliminating bubbles and postponing your Level Lost! for another day. Act fast and hope your vocabulary is as flexible as it is comprehensive!
Do you like simple puzzles? As in... do you like them a whole lot? A hundred levels' worth? Then Blocks is the perfect straight-forward little match-3 puzzler for your coffee break. Slide and match coloured blocks to remove them from the screen in as few moves as possible. Simple, but cleanly designed and surprisingly addictive, Blocks is perfect for relaxing, thoughtful puzzle fun.
Elegant, simple, and surprisingly engaging, the goal of this little puzzler is to turn all the trees to rivers, flooding the landscape, without flooding any of the other trees before you've had the chance to water-ify them yourself. It's a straight-forward concept whose lack of bells and whistles might make some lose interest, but provides a neatly design, perfect bit of logic puzzling for everyone else with one seriously mellow presentation.
The fruit's gotta go in this simple but remarkably well presented physics puzzle where you need to remove all fruit from a stage by bashing it together.

A game you can beat in five seconds? That's not a coffee break game, that's a thinking about taking a coffee break game. Fortunately, Nolan Labs' action/exploration game 100% Complete features more than just a few seconds of gameplay, though if you want to get technical, you can reach the end simply by heading right and using the door. If you want to actually accomplish something before winning, though, you'll need to get to exploring. Yay!

When sliding through a blocky two color world, keep one thing in mind: Space is Key. Actually, if you're playing this painfully challenging arcade game on your iOS device, that title isn't as true. With the browser versions of Space is Key and Space is Key 2, all you do is tap the [spacebar] to jump, hence the name. On a touch screen there is no spacebar, so instead, your finger is key. That's a bit of an awkward title for a game, though, so instead of brain thinking, we'll game playing!
We all love metroidvanias! But would we still love them if, instead of controlling a scifi bounty hunter, or a badass vampire slayer, we played as the alphabet? Answer: Yes! And ASCIIvania, an exploration platformer by Gharding3, is the proof! ASCIIvania is clearer documentation, a map screen and a mute button away from excellence, but its still a fun time.

If video games are any indication, the world we live in is filled with dungeons stocked with progressively more difficult enemies and convenient puzzles designed to help us descend further into darkness.

Where's a good pair of night vision goggles when you need them?
The surprise hit arcade launch game soars out of your browser and into your iOS in this polished little port. When a little girl wants to see her mother for Christmas, she sends the wish to the North Pole on a paper airplane, but doesn't suspect the many hands it will pass through along the way.

Simple gameplay and gorgeous style combine to make a familiar but beautiful experience about robots and the saws that tear them to robot pieces. Aw.
It's always interesting when a developer takes a familiar mechanic, then remixes it to make a new kind of enjoyable puzzle. Case in point: Jump Me, a simple idea puzzle game by Ozzie Mercado. It's likely that the game would have never have been made if versions of checkers hadn't been kicking around since ancient times. But that allows Jump Me to be different enough to feel fresh, but familiar enough to easily learn.
Tetris has been conceptually reverse-engineered again, and this time, you already know what pieces you get to work with in advance. However, instead of letting gravity take it's course, and dropping your blocks into a rectangular frame to form lines, you will need to drag them into a geometrically designed frame that could be a letter, numeral, or symbol. ShapeFit offers you a truly casual puzzle game experience, as there aren't any time limits to worry about or stress over. Your only goal is to solve the puzzle, and fit all of your puzzle pieces into the shaped frame.
Golf gets a little chaotic as turboNUKE kicks the sport into overdrive in their quirky spin on the game. Compete in a race to see who can get their ball in fastest against other golfers at the same time, dodging UFOs in addition to sandtraps, and nab coins to spend on equipment upgrades. It's weird, wacky, and whacky. Geddit? Because, y'know, you whack... the balls... and... oh, just play it.
Blast, burn, and oxidize your way through this clever new spin on a physics puzzle. Place bombs across 40 stages of elemental mayhem, where fire, water, air, and earth all have an impact on gameplay.

Flex those metacarpals, because the moon is in danger from alien invaders and the only thing standing between the moon and utter distruction are your typing skills. I really do hope you were one of those kids paying attention in 7th grade typing class and not just playing math blasters, because the entire human race is depending on it. It's a great little game that'll keep you playing long after you beat all the regular levels and have been fired from your cushy middle management job for playing video games instead of, you know, working.

How do I install tracks in rFactor
Before starting this quickstart guide, we'd like to mention the absolute easiest way to install cars or tracks to rFactor is using the 1-Click feature.
You can download the rFactorcentral 1-Click client here.
Once installed, look for the 1-Click logo () located in the top right corner of any mod page. Clicking on the logo will automatically launch the client and install the mod. It should also be noted, every mod packaged with the one click is scanned for viruses and other errors, thus, say goodbye to MAS errors. The 1 click is purely optional and helps support the site.
New to rFactor and not sure how to install tracks and cars? The good news it really is easy- it comes down to placing a small number of folders/files in the right place, and following the existing patterns. If you've ever moved or copied stuff on your PC you're fully qualified to install rFactor goodies :)
rFactor track folder structure Familiarize yourself with your rFactor installation folder structure. The default location for rFactor is:
c:\Program Files\rFactor\
Take a look through all the folders and sub folders rFactor tracks reside in:
Locations - that's a sensible place to store tracks! :)
Track installations generally follow the same pattern within the Locations folder. Let's take a look at ISI's Barcelona track as an example. It consists of:
These files are essential to the track working correctly in-game and some point to other files, both within the track and rFactor installations i.e. everything needs to be in the right place to work.
That's the general lay of the land when it comes to the structure of installed tracks in rFactor.
The location of files and folder structure may vary in the track you are installing. Don't start moving files around here and there to match the example above.
NOTE: The name under which a track appears in-game does not relate to the track folder and subfolder names. The track and event names are set in the .gdb file. You can view the contents of the .gdb file in Notepad.
The SCN File Shortcut So you're thinking, that's all well and good, but I want a quick and easy way to be sure a track is installed correctly. The answer is the SCN file. Each track layout has one, it's usually in the same folder as the .gdb, jpg and aiw files. Open the SCN in Notepad. It's the first few lines of the SCN file you're interested in as they indicate where, relative to the Locations folder, rFactor should look for the track files i.e. the correct install location.
Let's use Jerez 1988 as an example. At the top of the Jerez 1988 SCN file:
That tells us a correctly installed Jerez should look like:
NOT \Locations\Jerez or \Locations\Jerez_1988
Take a look through a few SCN files and compare the SearchPath to the physical folder structure. It's like Lego!
My track file is corrupt You've downloaded a track and you're ready to go. But wait, you haven't even got started and there are errors being reported - the file is corrupt or incomplete. 99.9% of the time there is NO problem with the file supplied by the modder or the server. Chances are your download failed. Use a download manager to eliminate problems caused by incomplete downloads.
If there is a corrupt file in a track release you won't need to travel far to verify the problem as MANY people will have the same problem within a short time following the release. Usually in this situation the modder will release a fix asap, just be sure to wait for the file servers around the place to update with the new version.
Installing a track - exe installer In theory exe installers files should make things easy. Exe installers also provide modders with a slick way to package their car or track release. But using an exe to install tracks involves risks including:
Is an exe worth the risk? Installing a track is really only about copying a small number of folders/files to the correct location so personally I don't think so, but it's up to you to decide for yourself. When a track is supplied as an exe many people create a temp folder elsewhere on their computer and point the exe installer to that, rather than their rFactor install. After a quick check of the files, they then copy the necessary files across to their rFactor install.
Installing a track - compressed archive Most tracks are released as a compressed archive e.g. rar, zip, 7z. Software like Winrar or 7 Zip (free) will unpack most formats. If you receive an error unpacking a file it's usually a good idea to verify the problem by attempting to unpack the file with another tool. Did you use a download manager? I hope so!
There is little consistency as to how compressed track archives are organized. It's a good idea to unpack the archive to temp location - not directly to your rFactor install. On unpacking the track archive you might find rFactor's folder structure mirrored making things easy for you. You might find the track folders and files you need are nested down within folders that don't relate to your rFactor installation. Initially this may be a hassle but if you're familiar with rFactor's folder structure it's really only a case of locating key folders and files and working back from there - it's usually all over in less than a minute or two.
Generally you are looking for the track folder that contains the track layout subfolder. Once located, drag the track folder and everything it contains - all the files and the layout subfolder(s) into rFactor/GameData/Locations/ and it's job done. Don't drag each and every file over one at a time or create track folders manually - that is asking for trouble.
It still doesn't work There are always a few people who have trouble with each release - whether it's downloading, installing or using a track. If you use a PC regularly you'll know that at some point it will be your turn to have a problem. The first step is to chillout and enjoy the experience :)
If the track is not visible in-game:
The track is listed in-game but generates an error when it is loading, typically a .mas error
So you've got to here and the track STILL doesn't work.
Beware of loose files & overwritten files
Aside from incorrect installation, a common cause of track loading problems is loose files and/or overwritten files. Loose files in places where they shouldn't be can cause other tracks to error on loading. The most common culprits are loose files in the GameDate/Locations/ folder. Aside from all of your track folders there should only be two loose files in GameData/Locations and they are:
Leave your track folders of course, but remove anything other loose files.
Overwriting original game files is not a good look and is yet another reason for you to take charge of the installation process and place files yourself. If you are attempting to join a race and keep getting track mismatches it could be that the orginal game file terrain.tdf has been overwritten. To be sure the original terrain.tdf is as it should be, visit the rFactor File Repository and download the original version of terrain.tdf.

Hello, I am using the Kindle app on my iphone using IOS 6. The problem is voiceover stops reading the last few sentances of each chapter . Has anyone else had this problem and is there a solution?
Hello Tay, I too have the Kindle app on my iPhone 4s but I now have IOS 7 and I don't recognise the problem you describe. I do remember something being said about the Kindle app not reading the last couple of words on a page but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. First, it might not be a great idea to download IOS 7 yet as there are some bugs like VO losing focus particularly when writing mail and texts, so wait a while before you do - I was too eager and ended up with some problems which are annoying but not the end of the world. However, if I were you, I would go to www.applevis.com and see what our community says there about the Kindle app. You can post something on the Applevis forum to ask the question, although you will have to join first - not a problem and the site is quite useful anyway. Kind regards, Steve.

East Of Eden Movie Review
John Steinbeck's classic story draws on the Biblical tale of Cain and Abel, the two warring brothers from the Old Testament, and although Cain doesn't slay Abel in this version of the story, he comes close. Dean brings his emotive Method style to the role of Cal Trask, the "bad" son who must compete with his golden boy brother Aron (Richard Davalos) for the love of their cold, Bible-thumping father Adam (Raymond Massey). Together they work a lettuce farm in central California's fertile Salinas Valley. It's 1917, and World War I is raging overseas.
Aron believes dear old Dad's story that Mrs. Trask (Jo Van Fleet) died long ago, but Cal knows better. Hopping the freight train to town whenever he gets the chance, he spies on the madam who runs the local cathouse. He knows she's his mother, and in his simplistic analysis of family dynamics, he reasons that her fall from grace has predestined his fate. When during one of their many fights, Adam tells Cal "You're bad, through and through, bad," Cal replies, "You're right. I am bad. I knew that for a long time... It's true. Aron's the good one. I guess there's just a certain amount of good and bad you get from your parents, and I just got the bad."
Aron, on the other hand, has the good fortune to fall in love with the beautiful Abra (Julie Harris), whose devotion to him quickly becomes ardent, to say the least. Cal, of course, develops his own crush on her, setting up one of the movie's many brutal conflicts.
When Adam's scheme to refrigerate rail cars to ship his lettuce farther east fails (the ice melts too fast), Cal sees an opening to win -- or perhaps buy -- his father's love. He makes a painful visit to his mother's brothel and gets her to loan him $5,000 so he can set up his own business. Investing in bean futures, he rakes it in when wartime price gouging drives prices up. At Adam's birthday party, Aron delivers the joyful news that he and Abra are engaged. All Cal has to offer is a fistful of money that he hopes will help his father rebuild the family business.
In one of those great movie scenes that stays with you for a lifetime, Adam brutally rejects Cal's gesture, saying "Son -- I'd be happy if you'd give me something like, well, like your brother's given me, something honest and human and good... If you want to give me a present, give me a good life. That's something I could value." Here is Dean's moment to shine. Devastated by the rejection, Cal melts down, and, in a move that allegedly deviated from the script, Cal/Dean hurls himself into his father's arms and breaks down, leaving Adam/Massey with a wonderfully bewildered look on his face and nothing to do but ad lib from the heart. The camera grows crooked, and we're all thrown off balance. It's one of Kazan's finest hours. Legend has it that Massey truly disliked Dean and that Dean kept agitating him on purpose to push both their performances to a higher level. It works.
The hysteria goes to an even more feverish pitch when Cal drags the furious Aron to meet the mother he's never known. She's a drunken, slatternly mess when they arrive, and now it's Aron's turn to melt down. "Mother" Cal says, "this is your other son Aron. Aron is everything that's good, Mother. Aron, say hello to your Mother." Cue the meltdown music!
A quick browse around the Net reveals that when East of Eden was released, the New York Times critic dismissed Dean as "a mass of histrionic gingerbread" and derided the movie for leaving most of Steinbeck's novel out of the screenplay. And while it's true that the performances -- Dean's especially -- are a bit much and Kazan really pushes it with the wild camera angles -- both a Ferris wheel scene and a rope swing scene are vertiginous enough to knock you out of your seat -- the movie is as exciting a drama as you're ever likely to see, and ultimately it's the unforgettable Dean that makes it so.
Six months after the film's release, Dean was dead at 24, and a month after that, Rebel Without a Cause, his second great chance to let his Method shine ("You're tearing me aparrrrrrrrt!!!"), was released, enshrining him in the pop culture pantheon forever.
The new DVD includes commentary from Richard Schickel, deleted scenes, a pair of documentaries, and various archival footage.
Torn apart.

Mohsen Makhmalbaf's Gabbeh is just the second Iranian film ever widely distributed in the U.S. (Jafar Panahi's The White Balloon was the first). A gabbeh is an Iranian carpet produced by the nomadic Ghashghai tribe of southern Iran, comparable to the folk art of American quilts; in the film's opening scenes, an elderly husband and wife travel to a nearby stream to wash their gabbeh, discussing the meaning behind the figures sewn upon it. The rug depicts a woman in blue and a man in red, together on a...more

Sir John Fielding
Article Free PassSir John Fielding, (born 1721, London, Eng.—died Sept. 4, 1780, London), English police magistrate and the younger half brother of novelist Henry Fielding, noted for his efforts toward the suppression of professional crime and the establishment of reforms in London's administration of criminal justice.
John Fielding was blinded in an accident at the age of 19. Despite this handicap he was appointed a magistrate in London, at first as his brother's assistant, about 1750, and soon became locally famous as the "Blind Beak," who was reputedly able to recognize some 3,000 thieves by their voices. With his brother he was a founder of the Bow Street Runners, and he persuaded the government to contribute to the expenses of his small force of professional detectives. He also provided for the circulation among the police and the public of descriptions of offenders.
A pioneer in the treatment of juvenile offenders, Fielding sought to analyze and remove the causes of crime and advocated a system of stipendiary magistrates that was adopted in 1792. His only authentic writings published are A Plan for Preventing Robberies Within 20 Miles of London (1775); An Account of the Origins and Effects of a Police . . . (1758); and Extracts From Such of the Penal Laws as Relate to the Peace and Good Order of This Metropolis (1768). He was knighted in 1761.
