Steenkamp's memorial is being held at The Victoria Park Crematorium.
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Parts of Oscar Pistorius' murder trial can be broadcast live on television by three remote-controlled cameras in court, but testimony given by the double-amputee Olympian can't be shown, a judge ruled Tuesday.
Pistorius' lawyers failed in their bid to stop any part of the trial being broadcast as a judge sitting in the North Gauteng High Court, where the trial will open next week, ruled mostly in favor of the South African TV and radio applicants.
A live audio-only feed can broadcast the entire trial.
Judge Dunstan Mlambo's decision opens up much of Pistorius' blockbuster trial to the expected scrutiny of millions of fascinated followers around the world.
"Court proceedings are in fact public and this objective must be recognized," Mlambo said.
The decision came two days after a Twitter site to be used by members of Pistorius' family during the trial became active. It already has more than 20,000 followers.
Mlambo, who won't preside over the trial, granted permission to the South African media houses to install unmanned television cameras in unobtrusive locations in the courtroom before the trial starts Monday. Still photographs can be taken by two mounted cameras operated by photographers, but TV footage or photographs cannot show "extreme" close up images of anyone and some witnesses who object can stop their testimony from being broadcast.
Trial judge Thokozile Masipa can stop the recordings at any time, Mlambo said.
Pistorius' lawyers argued that broadcasting the trial in any way would harm his chances of a fair trial. Brian Webber, a lawyer for Pistorius, declined to comment on the ruling, saying he had yet to study it.
Pistorius was charged with murder for the shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp a year ago, unleashing a wave of intense interest in the already world-famous disabled athlete. He faces 25 years in prison if he is convicted on the main charge of premeditated murder, which he denies.
Mlambo called Pistorius "a local and international icon" and said the broadcast decision was a "balancing act" between guaranteeing him a fair trial and also respecting the freedom of the media. South African democracy is relatively young and the justice system is "still perceived as treating the rich and famous with kid gloves whilst being harsh on the poor and vulnerable," Mlambo said.
"Enabling a larger South African society to follow firsthand the criminal proceedings which involve a celebrity so to speak will go a long way into dispelling these negative and unfounded perceptions about the justice system," he said.
The broadcasts also can be made available to international stations through a sharing agreement.
Opening and closing arguments can be shown along with the presiding judge's decision and sentencing should Pistorius be convicted, Mlambo ruled. Expert state witnesses' and police officers' testimonies can be broadcast on television and photographed, but not those of Pistorius or his defense witnesses.
The judge did not explain the reason for blocking images of Pistorius and defense witnesses.
The court could consider showing some testimonies from behind the witness stand, obscuring faces or using a general wide shot of the court. No parts of confidential discussions between Pistorius and his lawyers can be broadcast in any way, nor can discussions at the bench among the prosecution, defense and judge, Mlambo said.
The broadcast applications were brought by a South African television news station, a radio network and a cable provider which plans to launch a 24-hour TV channel dedicated to the Pistorius trial on Sunday.
Pistorius' spokeswoman, Anneliese Burgess, told The Associated Press earlier Tuesday that the new Twitter feed, titled @OscarHardTruth, will be operated by herself and members of Pistorius' family "for information sharing."
Pistorius' lawyers argued broadcasting the trial, and specifically witness testimony, could influence the evidence given by later witnesses. The prosecution did not oppose the general application for live broadcast, as long as some conditions were met, but one legal expert said it's a risk.
"It actually puts the state under far more pressure to make sure that the process behind this trial and the preparation of witnesses is absolutely faultless," said Kelly Phelps, a senior lecturer in the public law department at the University of Cape Town.
Phenyo Butale of the Johannesburg-based Freedom of Expression Institute, a non-governmental organization, noted the decision was in line with the expansion of freedom of expression in South Africa since the severe restrictions under apartheid, and trusted the experience of judges.
Trial judge Masipa will ultimately pronounce Pistorius innocent or guilty as South Africa has no trial by jury.
"In a justice system like ours, where you have a highly experienced judge or judicial officer presiding over the case, chances of (the judge) being swayed by media reports and what happens in the court of public opinion are highly unlikely," Butale said. "You cannot only imply that there would be prejudice. It has to be demonstrable."

Just got back from a 7 day trip to Nassau, St. Thomas and St. Maarten. Weather was not the best. Windy, cloudy and a bit chilly in Nassau. Sailed on the Legend last year and I don't know why the ships are so cold inside! The Amber Palace was freezing as well as the Red Sail dining area. People were walking around saying how cold the ship was.
Definitely liked the layout of the Legend better. Because the Glory has two dining rooms I kept coming up to the 3rd floor and couldn't get through to the lobby so had to go up to 5 and work my way back around. Also, you couldn't walk around the perimeter of the whole ship like you could on the Legend.
The shows were good although most thought the male singer wasn't that great. The gal with him was awesome! Hit bad weather and lots of people went to the infirmary. Had to cancel the Broadway shows due to the boat really rocking!--but they did the show last night and it was pretty good. Booked a guarantee inside--was hoping for an upgrade like last year when I got a balcony--but the ship was full. Also noticed that they now charge for cappucinos & espresso if you order it with your dessert in the dining room at night..they didn't charge on the Legend.
Ship was nice and clean. Sewage smell in the corridor on the main deck. Our room was nice and quiet. Loved that the smokers had their side of the ship to smoke..it helped a bit but the casino was always smoky..it's funny too because there is seating in the hallway by the casino designated as a non-smoking area!!--heck, you get gassed just sitting there with all the smoke!
Please remember that if you are out late, don't talk so loud when you are returning to your room! Some women were walking by and talking loud last night and it was 3:45 a.m.!!--be considerate!!
It was an easy debarkation process..no crowding to get off.
All in all had a good time but wished the weather had have been warmer. Guess there was a storm by Jamaica that caused the rough seas. If I had the choice, I liked the Legend's layout way better.

Dana White knows 'for a fact' that GSP will return
Cagewriter19 hrs agoGeorges St. Pierre has been annoyingly but understandably coy and vague about whether or not he will ever return to the UFC and MMA competition. The long-time welterweight champion vacated his title shortly after a controversial decision win over Johny Hendricks last fall, and took a leave of absence from the sport.
This week, UFC president Dana White told reporters assembled in Dallas for Saturday's UFC 171 card that he was certain St. Pierre would return to action at some point.
"I know for a fact he will [come back]," White said Thursday.
Friends Tyron Woodley & Robbie Lawler face prospect of fighting one another after UFC 171
Cagewriter20 hrs agoUFC welterweight contender Tyron Woodley addressed a mostly overlooked storyline of this Saturday's UFC 171 during a recent interview withSherdog. Woodley fights Carlos Condit in what should be a bout to determine the next number one contender to the welterweight world title in the co-main event.
Diego Sanchez says goodbye to brawler identity
Cagewriter23 hrs agoWhether or not Diego Sanchez wants to admit it, his brawling ways have more than caught up to him. The former TUF 1 winner and lightweight title challenger returns to action this Saturday at UFC 171 against Myles Jury.
In his last fight, Sanchez thrilled fans with a gritty display of determination and wild swinging in the face of what was (with the exception of a big uppercut in the final round) a solid beating at the hands of Gilbert Melendez. On Saturday, Sanchez faces a young up-and-comer in undefeated Myles Jury and says that his opponent will be shocked at what a changed fighter he is.
"I'm done being good. I'm done being some brawler," Sanchez said this week.
With pressure off, Myles Jury ready for Diego Sanchez
Cagewriter23 hrs agoUndefeated lightweight Myles Jury has won his first four fights in the UFC but might face his stiffest challenger ever Saturday in former Ultimate Fighter season winner and title challenger Diego Sanchez at UFC 171. Even so, Jury says that the fight against Sanchez, who is coming off of a losing but gutty performance against Gilbert Melendez last fall at UFC 166, is just another fight to him.
"I'm not looking at it like [it's the biggest of my career] man. I feel like, I've been around for awhile and I've been fighting some good guys for awhile," Jury told reporters this week in Dallas during a scrum.
'Overlooked' Shields eager to impress at UFC 171
Cagewriter1 day agoThis Saturday, at UFC 171, four welterweights will battle to determine the next 170 pound world champion and number one contender. Jake Shields is not one of them, though he is also on the UFC 171 card and has beaten three out of those four other men.
In the UFC 171 main event, Robbie Lawlerand Johny Hendricks will square up with the vacant welterweight title on the line. In the co-main event, Tyron Woodley and Carlos Condit will fight in what many are considering a bout to determine the next number one contender at welterweight.
Jake Shields fights earlier on the same card, againstHector Lombard. The former Strikeforce champion welterweight title challenger feels that he has been overlooked.
Dominick Cruz back in the gym
Cagewriter1 day agoDave Doyle recently spoke with Bellator lightweight Michael Chandler and asked about his Alliance teammate Dominick Cruz. "The Dominator" has been plagued by multiple knee injuries, which have kept him out of the cage for two years and prompted the UFC to strip him of his bantamweight title.
"He's doing good," Chandler said of Cruz. Cruz was set to finally return Feb. 1 against then interim champion Renan Barao but another injury forced him out. Instead, his rival Faber fought and lost to Barao. According to Chandler, however, Cruz is once again on the path to recovery.
"He's back in the gym this week," he said.
"He's not full sparring, but he's drilling and he's doing grappling and stuff and getting into that kind of stuff."
Chandler called his teammate Cruz a "warrior," and claims that the young former champ is driven to get back into title form.
"He's more motivated than he's ever been," Chandler said.
Dan Henderson will wear walkout shirt designed by Marine for rematch in Brazil with Shogun Rua
Kevin Iole at Cagewriter2 days agoIf you like the shirt Dan Henderson wears to the cage when he takes on Mauricio "Shogun" Rua on March 23 in Natal, Brazil, in a rematch of arguably the greatest fight in UFC history, you can thank a Marine in Oklahoma.
Henderson's manager, Brad Marks of Blue Five Media, came up with the idea to hold a contest and let fans design Henderson's walkout shirt. He created an e-commerce store on Henderson's Facebook fan page where Henderson could sell the apparel.
It was a win-win situation. Sponsorship dollars aren't plentiful in mixed martial arts these days, and rather than search for new companies who may not be able or may not want to pay the UFC's sponsorship tax, Marks thought of having the fighter wear his own design to the cage.
"People nowadays like the fighters and they wear a shirt to identify with that particular fighter," said Marks, once an agent at the William Morris Agency. "They identify with the fighters and not with a particular brand of apparel as far as the walkout [t-shirts] go. So, with all that being said, this has been fairly lucrative.
Lyoto Machida expects to return to training next week
Cagewriter3 days agoLyoto Machida was as surprised as anybody to get the call to replace Vitor Belfort against middleweight champion Chris Weidman at UFC 173 May 24. "The Phenom" was set to challenge Weidman but says the UFC asked him to step aside after the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which will regulate the May 24 Vegas bout, banned testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), which Belfort has been using for years.
"It was a surprise for me, I wasn't expecting that," Machida told MMAFighting recently.
"I thought I would fight around June or July and got this news."
The former light heavyweight champion last fought and win Feb. 15 against Gegard Mousasi. He is still not cleared to train because of a medical suspension resulting from that bout, but believes that he will be soon and that he'll have enough time to prepare for Weidman.
"[Manager] Ed [Soares] called me and said 'I think they had a problem with Vitor and you'll have to fight for the title'," he said.
Hendricks' mind still on Georges St. Pierre
Cagewriter3 days agoJohny Hendricks hopes to beat Robbie Lawler
"I hope I can get this belt and get a couple fights underneath me, and he comes back. That's what I'm shooting for."
Last year, Hendricks battered, bloodied and bruised the long-time welterweight champion St. Pierre but ultimately lost a controversial split-decision. Afterwards, St. Pierre decided to step away from competition and vacate his title.
Cro Cop on Anderson Silva: "He will never be the same"
Cagewriter3 days agoIn order to illustrate a point about how his own career could end at any moment, in any fight, Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic recently used former UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva as an example. Silva, of course, had a leg broken in half late last year by Chris Weidman in their UFC 168 title main event.
Silva may be kicking on that injured leg again and recovering well, physically, but "Cro Cop" believes that the psychological damage will be more lasting.
"I heard, thank God, he's recovering, but it'll always leave a scar in his mind," the Croatian kick boxer said.

Speaking in Slovenia following a meeting of top ECB officials, Draghi said the central bank has put in place a "fully effective backstop" for governments struggling to fund themselves in the bond market.
"At this point, it's really up to the governments to decide what they want to do," said Draghi. "The mechanism is in place."
The ECB announced plans last month to make "outright monetary transactions" in the government bond market. Under that program, the ECB would buy potentially unlimited amounts of sovereign bonds on the condition that governments activate one of the two eurozone bailout funds.
Spain is seen as the most likely candidate for the OMT program, although Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has been reluctant to commit to a full program of mandated reforms and outside oversight. Rajoy said this week that a bailout request was not imminent.
Draghi declined to comment on the situation in Spain or any other individual member of the 17-nation currency union. But he stressed that "significant progress" has been made in many vulnerable countries to reduce debt and overhaul outdated economies.
Draghi stressed that the OMT program would be subject to strict "conditionality," although he argued that governments could benefit from the reforms a full bailout program would entail.
"There is a tendency to identify conditionality with harsh conditions," said Draghi. "But conditions don't necessarily need to be punitive."

Meanwhile, the ECB's governing council voted to leave interest rates unchanged. The main refinancing rate has been at a record low of 0.75% since July.
Draghi said the council did not discuss the possibility of a future interest rate cut. "So I would say it was unanimous," he added.
The decision to hold rates steady comes as economic activity in the euro area continues to deteriorate. A key survey of purchasing managers in the eurozone fell in September, suggesting the region fell back into recession during the third quarter, according to data released Wednesday from Markit.
Separately, the Bank of England also opted to hold interest rates steady and maintained the size of its asset purchase program at £375 billion .

Tenafly library, senior center discuss budgets
TENAFLY - The governing body began conducting a series budget hearings Feb. 19 and for three days department heads presented their spending plans and requests for the upcoming year.
Though the library and senior center had minimal requests for the operation budget, the council made several recommendations. The Office of Emergency Management had several requests finance plans to prepare the borough for emergencies.
Library Director Gina Webb-Metz said this is a challenging budget and the library's goal is to maintain the services they have while entertaining clever ideas for new programs.
She said the library has tried to add a full slate of programming for children and adults this past year including movie nights, where the library shows independent and popular films.
The library is also expanding youth programs for teens and young adults that would include more teen library nights and participate in a variety of events such as scavenger hunts, table top games, video games and crafts.
They also introduced a teen literature-based program where staff would pick a book and create, on a small scale, an event around certain aspects of the book. The first event was centered on the popular teen fiction book "The Hunger Games."
Salaries of library staff are currently in negotiation and Webb-Metz said they do not know what they will be paid, therefore, salary numbers in the budget are just estimates.
There were some maintenance issues for repairs on equipment and the outside building that the council suggested the borough administrator meet with the building department to examine solutions and the library would eventually like to add new software and hardware products including iPads and Nooks. The library will also expand its WiFi capabilities.
"The library is very important to us and I know that we are responsible to supply the maintenance for the library," Mayor Peter Rustin said.
With the help of the emergency management coordinator, Councilman Anthony Barzelatto, the library is looking into grants for a generator to power the library and McCandless room in the event of a major storm. Webb-Metz said the library is willing to provide services for those displaced by storms if they have the capability.
Barzelatto proposed some items for the capital budget for the Office of Emergency Management including a car, cots and installing generators at the McCandless Room for the library and a generator for the senior center.
He said as the ambulance corps requested a new ambulance vehicle he would like to use the old one .
For the generators, Barzelatto said there is no guarantee that they will receive grants and he urged the council to consider putting some money aside. A generator installed would cost more than $12,000 - not including installing a gas line. Barzelatto said he will provide the council with more information before they meet to discuss the capital budget on Feb. 28.
Rustin also objected to buying cots without having proper setups for a shelter and was against rushing into it.

Rebel Without a Cause is a 1955 American drama film about emotionally confused suburban, middle-class teenagers. Directed by Nicholas Ray, it offered both social commentary and an alternative to previous films depicting delinquents in urban slum environments.[2][3] Over the years, the film has achieved landmark status for the acting of cultural icon James Dean, fresh from his Academy Award nominated role in East of Eden and who died before the film's release, in his most celebrated role. This was the only film during Dean's lifetime in which he received top billing. In 1990, Rebel Without a Cause was added to the preserved films of the United States Library of Congress's National Film Registry as being deemed "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant".
The story of a rebellious teenager who arrives at a new high school, meets a girl, disobeys his parents, and defies the local school bullies was a groundbreaking attempt to portray the moral decay of American youth, critique parental style, and explore the differences and conflicts between generations. The title was adopted from psychiatrist Robert M. Lindner's 1944 book, Rebel Without a Cause: The Hypnoanalysis of a Criminal Psychopath. The film itself, however, does not reference Lindner's book in any way.
Warner Bros. released the film on October 27, 1955, less than one month after Dean's fatal car crash.
Shortly after moving to Los Angeles with his parents, seventeen-year-old Jim Stark (James Dean) enrolls at Dawson High School. He is brought into the police station for public drunkenness, and when his mother, father, and grandmother arrive at the police station to retrieve him, conflicts in Jim's family situation are introduced. His parents are often fighting; his father (Jim Backus) often tries to defend him, but Jim's mother always wins the arguments. Jim feels betrayed both by this fighting and his father's lack of moral strength, causing feelings of unrest and displacement. This shows up later in the film when he repeatedly asks his father, "What do you do when you have to be a man?"
While trying to conform with fellow students at the school, he becomes involved in a dispute with a local bully named Buzz Gunderson (Corey Allen). While he tries to deal with Buzz, he becomes friends with a 15-year-old boy, John, nicknamed Plato (Sal Mineo), who was also at the police station the same night as Jim. Plato idolizes Jim, his real father having abandoned his family, and experiences many of the same problems as Jim, such as searching for meaning in life and dealing with parents who "don't understand". Jim meets Judy (Natalie Wood), whom he also recognizes from the police station, where she was brought in for being out alone after dark. She originally seems unimpressed by Jim, saying in a sarcastic tone, "I bet you're a real yo-yo."
Jim goes on a field trip to the Griffith Observatory. There he sees a dramatic presentation of the violent death of the universe. After the show, he watches as the thugs slash a tire of his car; then Buzz challenges him to a knife fight, in which Jim is loath to take part until the gang taunts him as a "chicken" (coward). He reluctantly takes part in the fight and wins, subduing Buzz by holding his switchblade up to his neck. Both Jim and Buzz receive slight injuries while fighting. The thugs challenge Jim to a "Chickie Run" with Buzz late that day, racing stolen cars towards an abyss. The first one who jumps out of the car loses and is deemed the "chicken". The "game" ends in tragedy for Buzz when a strap on the sleeve of his leather jacket gets stuck on the car's door handle, preventing him from jumping out before the car goes over the cliff.
Jim tries to tell his parents what happened, but becomes frustrated by their failure to understand him and storms out of the house. When Jim is seen trying to go to the police by some of Buzz's friends, they decide to hunt him down, and harass Plato and Jim's family to try to find him. Judy and Jim go to an abandoned mansion; Plato finds them there, as he was the one who originally told Jim about the house. There they act out a "fantasy family", with Jim as father, Judy as mother and Plato as child. The thugs soon discover them, and Plato brandishes his mother's gun, shooting one of the boys, and shooting at Jim and a police officer, in a clearly unstable state.
Plato hides in the Observatory, which is soon besieged by the police. Jim and Judy follow him inside, and Jim convinces Plato to lend him the gun, from which he silently removes the ammunition magazine. When Plato steps out of the observatory, he becomes agitated again at the sight of the police and charges forward, brandishing his weapon. He is fatally shot by a police officer as Jim yells to the police, too late, that he has already removed the bullets. Plato is wearing Jim's jacket at the time, and as a result, Jim's parents (brought to the scene by police) think at first that Jim was shot. Mr. Stark then runs to comfort Jim, openly weeping for Plato's death, and promises to be a stronger father, one that his son can depend on. Thus reconciled, Jim introduces Judy to his parents.

Warner Brothers had bought the rights to Linder's book, intending to use the title for a film. Attempts to create a film version in the late 1940s eventually ended without a film or even a full script being produced. When Marlon Brando did a five-minute screen test for the studio in 1947, he was given fragments of one of the 1940s partial scripts. However, Brando was not auditioning for Rebel Without a Cause and there was no offer of any part made by the studio. The film, as it later appeared, was the result of a totally new script written in the 1950s that had nothing to do with the Brando test. The screen test is included on a 2006 special edition DVD of the 1951 film A Streetcar Named Desire.
According to a Natalie Wood biography, she almost did not get the role of Judy because Nicholas Ray thought that she did not seem fit for the role of the wild teen character. While on a night out with friends, she got into a car accident. Upon hearing this, Ray rushed to the hospital. While in delirium, Wood overheard the doctor murmuring and calling her a "goddamn juvenile delinquent"; she soon yelled to Ray, "Did you hear what he called me, Nick?! He called me a goddamn juvenile delinquent! Now do I get the part?!"[citation needed]
Dawson High School, the school in the film, was actually Santa Monica High School, located in Santa Monica, California.
Irving Shulman, who adapted Nicholas Ray's initial film story into the screenplay, had considered changing the name of James Dean's character to Herman Deville, according to Jurgen Miller's "Movies of the '50s". He had also originally written a number of scenes that were shot and later cut from the final version of the film. According to an AFI interview with Stewart Stern, with whom Shulman worked on the screenplay, one of the scenes was thought to be too emotionally provocative to be included in the final print of the film. It portrayed the character of Jim Stark inebriated to the point of belligerence screaming at a car in the parking lot, "It's a little jeep jeep! Little jeep, jeep!" The scene was considered unproductive to the story's progression by head editor William H. Ziegler and ultimately ended up on the cutting room floor. In 2006, members of the Lincoln Film Society petitioned to have the scene printed and archived for historical preservation.
The film was in production from March 28 to May 25, 1955. When production began, Warner Bros. considered it a B-movie project, and Ray used black and white film stock. When Jack Warner realized James Dean was a rising star and a hot property, filming was switched to color stock and many scenes had to be reshot in color.
The 1949 Mercury Coupe James Dean drove in the movie is part of the permanent collection at the National Automobile Museum in Reno, Nevada.
The film received accolades for its story and for the performance of James Dean and the young stars who appeared, among them teenagers Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo and Dennis Hopper, along with Nick Adams and Corey Allen.
The film holds a 95% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[4]

Cultural influence[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (September 2012) |
Television and film[edit]
- In The Simpsons episode, "Take My Wife, Sleaze", a parody of Rebel Without a Cause became an inspiration for Homer Simpson to form his motorcycle gang, even though he watched it with his vintage 1955 Harley-Davidson motorcycle he won at a '50s nostalgia cafe earlier in this episode.
- In The Sopranos episode, "Big Girls Don't Cry", Christopher Moltisanti's acting instructor assigns Chris and several classmates—whom she terms "rebels without causes"—to enact the scene wherein Plato dies and Jim cries over his friend's body. The scene (which evoked in Christopher feelings about his alcoholic mother, Joanne Blundetto Moltisanti, and deceased father, Richard (Dickie) Moltisanti) touched Christopher so deeply that it inspired him to cry (and to later punch the student who played Jim's father in the scene) and his emotionally true acting impressed Christopher's teacher and classmates.
- In Terrence Malick's film Badlands (1973), various characters note that the lead character reminds them of James Dean. The lead characters in Badlands—Kit and Holly (Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek)—mildly echo those of Jim Stark and Judy (Dean and Woods). A Mercury Eight also appears in the film.
- The movie Cool As Ice is supposed to be a remake of Rebel Without a Cause.
- In the show Futurama, the outfit of Philip J. Fry is based on Jim's outfit.
- In the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Prehibernation Week", SpongeBob says, "They're tearing me apart." in reference to the games that he and Sandy had been playing. This is a reference to Jim's line, "You're tearing me apart," when Jim's parents are arguing at the police station and have different opinions about Jim.
- In the 1983 film Christine, the character of Arnold "Arnie" Cunningham is intended to gradually resemble James Dean's character throughout the film, particularly his hair and trademark red jacket. This may be due in part to the urban legend of Dean also owning a haunted car.
- The Looney Tunes Show episode "Rebel Without a Glove" came from the movie title.
- In the Red Dwarf episode, "Kryten", Kryten lists Rebel Without a Cause as one of the movies Lister had him watch to break his programming, stop obeying orders, and rebel against Rimmer.
- In the movie Fantastic Mr Fox (2009), the line "You say one thing, she says another, and it all changes back again" is taken from the scene in Rebel Without a Cause where Jim Stark confronts his parents in the police station.
- Tommy Wiseau uttered the phrase you are tearing me apart in his drama film The Room, in reference and as an homage to James Dean's role. Originally, the line was "You are taking me apart", because of Tommy Wiseau's seemingly poor understanding of the English language and also because of his unwillingness to admit that he had taken the line from James Dean.
- 'Rebel was also an influential film for Akira director Katsuhiro Otomo.
- In 1995 Nonesuch Records issued an album of music from both East of Eden and Rebel Without a Cause by the London Sinfonietta, conducted by John Adams.
- The German musician Prinz Pi's album Rebell ohne Grund (2011) is named after Rebel Without a Cause.
- Rap Group Public Enemy made a song called "Rebel Without a Pause".
- Bonnie Tyler in 1986 made a song called "Rebel Without a Clue".
- The Bellamy Brothers in 1988 made a song called "Rebels Without a Clue".
- Rap-rock artist Kid Rock named his 1998 album "Devil Without a Cause".
- The 1991 Paula Abdul video "Rush, Rush" features a street race and co-stars Keanu Reeves, drawing stylistic inspiration from Rebel Without A Cause, and as such, has a period theme. A 90-second dramatic prelude to the song rather mirrors the characters from the film.
- The phrase "Rebel without a clue" also occurs in the 1989 song "I'll Be You" by The Replacements, which inspired Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to include it onto their 1991 song "Into the Great Wide Open".
- Track 5 on the Every Time I Die album, The Big Dirty, is named "Rebel Without Applause".
- Locnville made a song named "James Dean".
- Joni Mitchell included clips from Rebel Without a Cause in her concert film, Shadows and Light, recorded in 1979 and released in 1980.
- Shenandoah mentions Dean and Wood in the song "I Want to Be Loved Like That". The beginning of the song states: "Natalie Wood gave her heart to James Dean/ High school rebel and a teenage queen/ Standing together in an angry world/ One boy fighting for one girl."
- The 1971 hit single American Pie contains the lyrics "When the Jester sang for the King and Queen in a coat he borrowed from James Dean", widely believed to be a reference to the red jacket worn by Dean's character in the film, and an allusion to the windbreaker worn by Bob Dylan on the cover of his 1963 album "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan".[6]
- In the Marilyn Manson song "Mutilation Is The Most Sincere Form Of Flattery" from his 2007 album "Eat Me, Drink Me" is the line "Rebels Without Applause"

Each tree is guaranteed to grow, or we'll replace it at one half the original price, plus shipping and handling.
Our trees are delivered with natural bare roots which have been dipped in hydrating gel prior to shipment to keep the roots moist and healthy. As their abundant, fibrous roots aren't confined by a container, bare-root trees get off to a more vigorous start compared to containerized roots which typically need more time to adjust to transplanting. Bare-root trees typically surpass the size of larger containerized trees in only a few years.
Natural Root and Containerized Trees
Natural root (also called bare root) trees are shipped without soil around their roots. They are shipped when dormant in the spring and fall seasons. We dip the roots in a hydrating gel to keep them moist during shipping.
There are a number of advantages to natural root trees:
The Urban Horticulture Institute at Cornell University has an interesting article about the benefits of planting natural root trees. Look for the PDF entitled Creating the Urban Forest: The Bare Root Method
Potted (also called containerized) trees come in 4" containers.

Cobb County's property tax digest is going to decline for the fourth consecutive year, says Chief Tax Appraiser Phi Hogsed Sr.—but don't expect a second consecutive .
After Hogsed estimated the digest will decline 3.9 percent this year, Chairman Tim Lee told The Marietta Daily Journal: "There absolutely will not be a tax increase this summer."
He also said there will be no layoffs or furloughs.
Finance Director Jim Pehrson said Cobb can absorb the likely $8.3 million decline in revenue because the county budgeted for a 2.5 percent drop, built in a surplus and an emergency reserve, and can find ways to cover the remaining $2.2 million or so, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
The picture might not be so rosy for the .
Chief Financial Officer Mike Addison assumed a 2 percent decline in the tax digest when he that includes five furlough days, larger class sizes, delayed raises and reduced funding for paraprofessionals in libraries to close a $62.5 million deficit.
That deficit included a $1.1 million cut in local property taxes for the school system. If the actual decline in the digest is 3.9 percent, that would mean around $1 million in additional lost revenue.
The Board of Education will hear budget ideas incorporating Hogsed's estimate at its next Wednesday at 8:30 a.m.
As for your tax bill, Hogsed said assessment notices should go out to homeowners around May 18, the MDJ reported.
The is still making the rounds to appraise properties. You can search at the assessor's website to see whether an appraiser has you on the schedule.

When A Helmet's Not Enough: A Tinfoil Room
How paranoid are you about aliens controlling your brain? If you answered, "VERY", it's too late, they already are and just made you think that so you'd still feel in control. I'd check my butt for antennas if I were you.
This guy decided that more tin foil the better. He couldn't probably convince his wife in the necessity of the protection layer everywhere so he grabbed his couch, his desktop pc and a few giant rolls of tin foil and moved to his garage, where before they stored some food supplies - you still can see that passage down the floor.
Wait -- is that a window in the background? What the hell's the matter with you man?! YOU THINK ALIENS CAN'T CONTROL MINDS THROUGH WINDOWS? If that were the case we wouldn't need foil, just glass! And why the f*** did you wrap the coffee can? To use a Three Little Pigs metaphor, you're like the one who built his house out of retarded.
Hit the jump for four more pictures of Captain Crazy's man-cave.

both are lands furthest from front of parks?
Ok, here's a new game I figured out a little while ago. I will state two Disney concepts and the next poster will state how they are related. If they are right, they go next.
Simple enough right?
I'll start with something simple..
Camp Minnie Mickey and Mickey's Toontown Fair
Both are lands that were made up after the main park had been made as more of a throw-together idea
Both feature Character Meet and Greet venues starring Mickey and Minnie.
They call me "Nana"
Both attractions have Mickey's name in them.
Oh, look. The Wicked Witch of the West is here.
