1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated and Horridly Written
One of the most wordy, outdated, and terribly written textbooks I have encountered in college. Worse than any I have encountered in physics or chemistry. Factually incorrect definitions, page-long comparisons of different job descriptions. When a book tells you that a 'table' is something typically printed on paper, you know you're in for a long semester. As a friend...

This is not a how-to, it is a how-to-understand. I own multiple editions of this book starting with the 3rd, when many of the examples referred to RBase. It won't tell you, with simple color diagrams and cut-and-paste examples, how to optimize your Oracle SQL queries or tune your DB/2 engine, but it will teach you the underlying principles of relational databases, from which the serious professional will be able to extrapolate. If you have the intelligence and stomach for it and you actually read it, it will serve you much better than the SQL in 24 hours picture books that some reviewers seem to be looking for -- it is a timeless and effective conceptual work on the subject that spans the evolution of commercial product implementations. Dilitantes and desperadoes, head for the Dummies aisle -- this one's not for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Introduction for Software Engineers, not Users,
rycamor "rycamor" (Pembroke Pines, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Introduction to Database Systems (8th Edition) (Paperback)
Sorry, no full-color graphics, and no included disk full of fill-in-the-blank examples and wizards to build your contact list. This is an old-fashioned academic tome, not a how-to book or thinly-disguised marketing tool for some commercial database system.
I suppose the biggest criticism I could make of this book is that it overestimates the target audience. Unfortunately, many who see the title of this book assume that it will teach them how to work with current database products such as Oracle, or maybe SQL Server and Access. No, this book doesn't show you how to create an invoicing system for your bicycle shop, or a web content management system. What it will show you is the conceptual underpinning of the relational data model, how to understand relational database systems in general (not everything is SQL, you know), and provide some heavy insight into how relational databases should be designed.
In that sense, it can be considered an "introductory" book for software engineers, who might themselves create a new database management system. It can also be considered introductory for database administrators and systems programmers who are looking to expand their knowledge beyond the product-specific practical methods they have been exposed to. In other words, if you just want to know "how things are done" in your industry, don't read this book. If you want some insights into how things COULD be done much better, you might want to read this book.
So, while I might not recommend this book to a junior programmer tasked with creating his/her first web-based ordering system, I might recommend it to the company DBA or systems architect. Even more, I would recommend this book to anyone studying C/C++, and looking to start a career in software engineering, possibly to help create new database systems. This book doesn't discuss specific implementation in C++ or anything like that but it provides an excellent target feature set and language spec for development, as well as a clarification of the formal logic behind relational database management.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best theoretical book on Database design ever!,
By A Customer
This review is from: An Introduction to Database Systems (8th Edition) (Paperback)
I read this book for training as a senior DBA consultant and enjoyed CJ Date's excellent treatise on databases. This is the ultimate book on database theory. Like another reader commented its not how to get OCP/MCDBA whatever certifications but actually will make life better in the long run as a serious DBA pro. I now actually understand the basis of complex database topics such as cursors, data models, and concurrency/locking topics that previously are skimmed over in other books and training guides. Best book for a beginner and yeah its a bit dry and academic but CJ Date writes clearly. A MUST FOR SERIOUS COMPUTER SCIENCE STUDENTS!

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic, to be read by any serious developer,
Eric Kaun (Pittsburgh, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Introduction to Database Systems (8th Edition) (Paperback)
Date's seminal work is critical to understanding databases - a step mostly forgotten by those who believe every concept can be taught using commercial products with brain-dead examples in under 24 hours. Date teaches the logic and theory that underlie all successful practice. You can probably buy a different book and create a mock database faster, but you will neither understand nor be able to use it well. Do yourself a favor and read this first to understand what a database is; only then can you judge the value of other books.

5.0 out of 5 stars the database practitioner's bible,
Todd Ebert (Long Beach California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Introduction to Database Systems (8th Edition) (Paperback)
I suppose there are two potential audiences for an introductory database book. The first audience consists of developers who need to know the very basics about databases to design and implement a database computer application. For that group I would recommend Date's book, but only upon having sufficient "computer science maturity": i.e. having taken one year of programming, and possibly a course in discrete mathematics and/or data structures and algorithms. Without this maturity much of what Date writes will be very hard to appreciate if not comprehend. True, he gives numerous examples that are quite understandable, but he also spends many paragraphs discussing somewhat abstract issues to the novice that will make him or her want to skip ahead. A good example of this is the notion of thinking of a table as the current value of a relvar, or the importance of closure in the relational algebra. The paragraphs he spends on these subtle importances will frustrate the uninitiated reader.
For someone who does not believe that he or she has the maturity to handle this book, and simply wants to develop an application that requires a database, I would recommend buying a more "down-to-earth" book possibly covering the RDMS that will be used. For example, if it is MySQL, then one might want to purchase
Welling's "MySQL Tutorial" (ISBN: 0672325845) for a much gentler and user-friendly introduction (or better yet the PHP and MySQL web development book if a web application is desired).
The other audience for this book are the professionals who are in charge of managing a database and/or using a database server for an industrial-strength application. In this case, Date's book is mandatory reading. May be not all of it, but certainly Parts I-IV. Reading these parts will give the professional the needed perspective on all the considerations required for successfully using or managing a database system.
In the world of database systems, Chris Date is one of the few authors who understands the importance of every minute detail involved with successfully using and managing databases. He proves that in this book, in a style that is not only academic but also quite useful and practical (especially his chapters on the relational algebra and calculus).

5.0 out of 5 stars Underrated, no seriously,
Estefano Palacios Topic (Guayaquil, Ecuador) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Introduction to Database Systems (8th Edition) (Paperback)
This book is excellent and it is very clearly written. English is my second language (I live in Ecuador for crying out loud, I don't even get to practice my English that often), and I can read the book without pain or suffering of any kind. Yes it is huge. Yes, for some of you it might be too much theory. But you will understand every aspect of data base systems: Date's pedagogy and methodology is just that brilliant. Plus you'll get your hands dirty with some interesting topics that Mr. Date has decided to include, for example: Distributed Databases, Relational Calculus (not incredibly necessary as Relational Algebra, but it is nice to have a reference to go to when need arrives), Security and Object Databases.
The author may seem pretentious when he uses Latin phrases or words like: a fortiori, per se, a priori, mutatis mutandis, etc. But who doesn't really know this? And if you don't, Google it up and you'll get the result in seconds (I had to Google a fortiori). It just doesn't seem to be that much a deal, at least not to give the book a mere one star, when it is clearly a classic and an incredible demonstration of how textbooks should be written. Another reviewer said that there was little content. I just can't believe this, seriously. For a book that boast "introduction" on its title, it goes way beyond introductions in my opinion (compare this book against others that have nothing to say about the TransRelational model!). If you know Database Systems and the relational model and the theory behind it, you shouldn't be reading any introduction books on the topic (or reviewing them like they should do something else other than introducing the subject). In my opinion, any serious computer scientist or professional IT should read this book and keep it close at hand. But that is just my judgment.
*sigh* I can't believe this book has an average of 3.5 starts. I really can't.

C J. DATE is one the most important researcher about databases, and his work is dedicated to explain in simple terms, those that in other forms will be too much difficult to understand: like real methodology of normalization or the BNF Notation, very usefull when is neccesary read the ANSI/ISO Standars, or the
Boyce/Codd Normal Form.In 1990 i read Date for the first time,
i need to review his Powerfull Introduction again, but C.J Date do not write in order to "Perform a Database Design, in 24 hours" , he write to understand, first, what really are in Database World, the semantics of data, the Codd Theory, The importance of ERD of P.Chen, he doesn't write a HelpDesignBook!
To read a Date's Book is find the core of Database Theory and is the first step to have succefull in a design process.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great introduction to the theory and practice of database design,
This review is from: An Introduction to Database Systems (8th Edition) (Paperback)
This is one of the better books on the theory of database systems design. It is not meant to be a book on applications, rather it is a commonly used textbook in upper level undergraduate and graduate classes on the subject. However, this latest edition has reorganized the material somewhat and has added to its sections on XML and SQL in an attempt to show the theory through more real-world scenarios.
The book is divided into six parts. The first section sets the scene by explaining what a database is and why database systems are generally desirable. Next a general architecture for database systems is presented that serves as a framework upon which all subsequent chapters are built. Next is a broad overview of relational systems and finally there is a chapter that introduces SQL and explains how it works and why it is not a perfect language.
The second section, on the relational model, is rather long. This reflects the fact that the relational model of database systems is the foundation that makes the field a science. The author does a good job of presenting the theory along with examples of this theory as practiced in SQL. However, remember that the SQL examples are to illuminate the theory, not vice versa. The author does an exceptional job of explaining the relational calculus.
The third section is dedicated to database design, and specifically relational database design. The database design problem can be stated very simply: Given some body of data to be presented in a database, how do we decide on a logical structure for that data? This section does an exceptional job of explaining and illustrating one of the more difficult concepts in database design, that of normalization and normal forms. Database normalization is a process that eliminates redundancy, organizes data efficiently, reduces the potential for anomalies during data operations, and improves data consistency.
The fourth section, on transaction management, will be familiar to those who are involved in operating system design. This section includes methods of protecting the database against non-deliberate threats such as a system crash in the middle of program execution that leaves the database in an unpredictable state, two programs concurrently executing that interfere with one another's operation therefore producing incorrect results, and updates that might change the database in an invalid way.
The fifth section, entitled "Further Topics", tackles a number of subjects that could be the topic of a complete book by themselves. This includes protecting databases against deliberate attacks, building optimization into databases so that they work more efficiently, handling missing database information, object-oriented concepts, and logic-based databases.
The final and sixth section of the book adds information on a subject that has been missing in past editions - that of object-oriented databases. This section includes some relevant information on the use of XML in database design.
I learned database design theory from the sixth edition of this book ten years ago with no prior database design experience. I found that edition to be a clear and adequate textbook but lacking in the discussions of alternatives to the relational model which has been corrected in this eighth edition. I highly recommend this book to students and professionals who are interested in learning about the theory of modern database design.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" for data management professionals,
Don Peterson (Overland Park, KS United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Introduction to Database Systems (8th Edition) (Paperback)
As one of E.F. Codd's closest associates Chris Date has long provided the world with some of the most insightful writings on the relational model of data management. Much to their proponents chagrin, he also writes incisively about the various "improvements" to the relational model.
Those who are looking for a cookbook approach to any specific DBMS platform will be sorely disapointed. This book will not help you obtain your MCDBA, OCP, or any other alphabet-soup certification. However, for anyone looking for a firm foundation of data management fundamentals and the practical implications of such, this is THE book to read.
Chris' style of writing tends to be a bit academic and precise. This quality does turn some folks off, but it is this quality that makes his writing so valuable. Read it, re-read it and learn this stuff! No one can seriously consider themselves a data management professional without a good grasp of the material in this book. This is the book that other authors refer to when they want to get their facts straight.

We're taking a look at Intel's first attempt at a full-featured media center motherboard, the DG45ID. It's also our first look at their new G45 Express chipset, which promises to finally bring DX 10 support and hardware-accelerated HD video playback to their integrated graphics offerings. Can the DG45ID prove itself a worthy choice for your HTPC?
For our video conversion test, we use Pegasys TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress to transcode (converting from one codec to another) a 0.99GB high-quality DivX H.264 AVI video of Half-Life 2: Episode Two gameplay with stereo audio. The video is just under 4 minutes in length and has a 720p resolution (1280×720).
For our testing, we encode the video at the same 720p resolution but with a lower quality, to achieve a more acceptable file size for distribution (~150MB). In all our transcoding tests, "Enhanced multithreading" is enabled in the codec control panel, as well as "Experimental full search" using the highest version of the SSE instruction set that the CPU supports.
In this test, the ASUS board beats the Intel board by several seconds. In our past experience, when it comes to CPU-Memory bandwidth, Intel boards tend to not be as highly-tweaked as their third-party counterparts. That's likely the cause for the performance lag observed here.
Photo manipulation benchmarks are more relevant than ever, given the proliferation of high-end digital photography hardware. For this benchmark, we test the system's handling of RAW photo data using Adobe Lightroom, an excellent RAW photo editor and organizer that's easy to use and looks fantastic.
For our testing, we take 100 RAW files (in Nikon's .NEF file format) which have a 10-megapixel resolution, and export them as JPEG files in 1000×669 resolution, like most of the photos we use here on the website. Such a result could also be easily distributed online or saved as a low-resolution backup. This test involves not only scaling of the image itself, but encoding in a different image format entirely. The test is timed indirectly using a stopwatch, and times are accurate to within +/- 0.25 seconds.
Again, while not by a huge margin, the Intel DG45ID still suffers a several-second performance hit in this memory-bandwidth-intensive and storage-intensive test. The conventional wisdom that Intel motherboards tend to place stability over performance holds true here as well.
Autodesk's 3ds Max 9 is considered the industry standard when it comes to 3D modeling and animation, counting DreamWorks, BioWare, and Blizzard Entertainment among its users. It's a multithreaded application that's designed to be right at home on multi-CPU workstations or render farms, so it's right up our alley for testing systems with multi-core processors. Its scanline renderer divides up the rendering task equally among the CPU's cores.
In our testing, we use a standard dragon model provided with 3ds Max, 'Dragon_Character_Rig.max'. The scene is rendered in two formats. First, a single frame from the animation is rendered at a resolution of 1920×1080 (1080p). Then, a 60-frame sequence of the same model is rendered to a 490×270 resolution AVI file, which can be exported to a portable media player.
Here, the Intel DG45ID again stays right at the ASUS motherboard's heels, but can't outpace the P5E-VM HDMI. 3ds Max tends to be more CPU-bound than most of our multimedia tests, but memory bandwidth also plays a part. Since no output file is specified in our testing, the loading of the storage subsystem during the test is slight.
Next, we'll take a look at two more multimedia applications – audio encoding and blu-ray playback.

Lovelace (US - DVD R1 | BD RA)
Anchor Bay has cover art for the behind-the-scenes dramatization of Deep Throat
Starring: Amanda Seyfried
Released: 5th November 2013
Further Details:
Anchor Bay and Radius TWC have announced the Blu-ray and DVD release of Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's
Lovelace. There aren't any A/V specifics (beyond 1.85:1 framing) yet, but the press release does mention that bonus materials include an 'in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film.'
Here's a look at the cover art:
Quote: In 1972 – before the internet, before the porn explosion – Deep Throat was a phenomenon: the first scripted pornographic theatrical feature film, featuring a story, some jokes, and an unknown and unlikely star, Linda Lovelace. Escaping a strict religious family, Linda discovered freedom and the high-life when she fell for and married charismatic hustler Chuck Traynor. As Linda Lovelace, she became an international sensation – less centerfold fantasy than a charming girl-next-door with an impressive capacity for fellatio. After struggling to break free from Traynor whose endless abuse nearly killed her, Linda made it her life's mission to fight violence against women.

Chloe Grace Moretz Confronts Her Own Mortality
By Juan Barquin
Turns out that when goodfellas don't die (when they don't get shot or blown up in a car or beaten to death with a baseball bat) they move to South Beach. They drive tour buses for the elderly, take orders at Burger King, give dime-a-dance lessons to old women in need of a shoulder to lean on, and apply makeup to corpses who pass through revolving-door funeral homes. They eat early dinners and play card games and tan their leathery hides and recall their glory days, always wondering how such once-powerful men as they wound up counting the days, minutes, and seconds until they finally become extinct. "I thought we'd be dead," moans Bobby Bartellemeo (Richard Dreyfuss), sitting on the decaying front terrace of South Beach's Raj Majal hotel, watching women and men with big tits roller-skating past the gangster dinosaur exhibit. It's hell to be a mobster collecting unemployment in the old jokes home.
Such is the premise of The Crew, otherwise known as So-sofellas. They're all here: Joey "Bats" Pistella (Burt Reynolds, wearing his sleekest toupee in years), Mike "The Brick" Donatelli (Dan Hedaya, his whole body covered in five o'clock shadow), Tony "Mouth" Donato (Seymour Cassel, keeping shut), and Bobby "The Jew" (Dreyfuss). And on the periphery are names you've heard a thousand times -- Fat Paulie, Nicky the Nose, Jerry the Hammer, Tommy Shakes, Tony the Torch, Louie the Lip, and other refugees from Martin Scorsese films. We've seen the "before" picture countless times: the stoic voice-overs, the baseball-bat brutality, the guy in the trunk, the hijacked truck. Here, for the first time, is the winsome "after," the portrait of a mobster as a weary old man trying to keep from getting kicked out of his retirement home.
And for a few moments, The Crew is a slight but charming kick. It's even a little sad, if only because in the film's opening moments, we're allowed to see these four men in their 1968 prime, cruising toward mobster immortality in their red Caddy convertible. Thirty-two years later, they still drive the same car, only the roof is torn and the hubcaps are missing; the same could be said for Bobby, Joey, Mike, and Tony, who are about to get kicked out of their apartment. Now the only thing Joey Bats has to get pissed off about is his job at Burger King. "Lady," Reynolds sneers through perfect teeth to one demanding customer, "special orders do upset us." He'd beat her over the head, given half a chance.
The trailer hints that The Crew is yet another of those films in which old farts breathe a last gasp by committing a crime that gives them back their manhood. It is, to say the least, misleading. When the "plot" kicks in -- when the foursome steals a corpse from the funeral home to fake a mob murder in the lobby of the Raj Majal in order to scare off the rent-hiking carpetbaggers -- it happens so suddenly and inexplicably it seems like an accident. But it gets the ball rolling, which then heads downhill so fast it's almost dizzying. As it turns out, the corpse was the father of a ditzy South American drug lord, Raul Ventana (Miguel Sandoval), who seeks revenge on the men he believes killed his papa. And Miami detective Olivia Neal (The Matrix's Carrie-Anne Moss) suspects the four grumpy old men of the crime, if only because she has "a feeling" about them, especially Bobby, who, as it turns out, knew her a very long time ago.
The Crew ends up feeling like soft-boiled Elmore Leonard (actually, runny Elmore Leonard) as the story goes from kicky to kicked in the head; appropriately it was produced by Barry Sonnenfeld, who directed Get Shorty and created the ABC television series Maximum Bob, both based on Leonard novels. Michael Dinner directs like a Sonnenfeld acolyte, whipping the camera like Mark McGwire during a scene in which a rat with its tail on fire runs through two South Beach mansions, burning both to the ground. Dinner possesses a light enough touch to keep the audience from puzzling too long over story holes gaping enough to swallow Fat Paulie. Somehow in 90 minutes, Dinner and screenwriter Barry Fanaro manage to include subplots about a blackmailing stripper (Jennifer Tilly), her yenta stepmother (Lainie Kazan), a sleazy cop on the take (Jeremy Piven, playing Bruce Willis), and Ventana's gang that can't shoot straight.
The Crew is, finally, a movie about movies, an echo that works only on an audience familiar enough with the clichés and conventions to fill in the blanks. It's hard to believe Reynolds, Dreyfuss, Hedaya, and Cassel are gangsters shooting blanks; they're more vibrant than anyone else in the movie, larger-than-life shadows even at their so-called sunset. And it's a weird, nonviolent kind of gangster film, one in which the bad guys are shot in the leg, good guys take it in the shoulder, and everyone says "freakin'" when they want to utter a different sort of f-word. It's Elmore Leonard, all right -- for the large-type crowd, one that prefers to have its "dirty" clean and silly.

Online Staff Report
The Junior League of Rockford, Inc., and the Discovery Center Museum will partner to offer Kids in the Kitchen from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, April 21.
The event will be at Discovery Center Museum, inside Riverfront Museum Park, at 711 N. Main St., Rockford.
The free event is open to the entire community. Families with children 10 and younger are encouraged to attend.
Kids in the Kitchen will provide helpful information and fun activities to educate families and children about healthy eating and fitness habits.
Kids will learn how to prepare a healthy breakfast, enjoy interactive fitness activities of zumba and yoga, and have lots of fun.
Activities will include creating fun and free make-and-take snack projects; taste-testing unique veggies and fruits; an interactive kids' cooking demonstration by the leader of "Children's Cooking Classes," Melissa Poppen of Machine Shed; a free raffle for a children's bike and tickets to Rockford Park District events, including Magic Waters; and goodie bags to take home.

Sinclair keen on Swansea stay
Swansea winger Scott Sinclair will sit down to discuss a new contract at the end of the season and "definitely" wants to continue his career in south Wales.
The former Chelsea man has scored seven goals in Swansea's maiden Barclays Premier League campaign to help the club to 10th place in the table. Sinclair still has a year to run on his current deal, but manager Brendan Rodgers is keen to secure his future after his performances reportedly attracted the attention of several other Premier League clubs.
Rodgers revealed last week that informal discussions had been held over the new deal, and Sinclair hopes to get everything ironed out at the end of the campaign. He said: "We are going to wait until the end of the season and discuss it then."

DETROIT, June 5 (Reuters) – Newly elected United Auto
Workers President Dennis Williams warned major U.S. automakers
who negotiate with the union next year that he supports the
financial health of the companies, but that "enough is enough"
when it comes to concessions.
Veteran UAW auto workers at the three major U.S. automakers
have not received a raise in nearly a decade and in recent
contract talks the union allowed the creation and expansion of a
two-tiered wage structure.
UAW elects Dennis Williams as president
DETROIT (Reuters) – The United Auto Workers union elected Dennis Williams to a four-year term as its president on Wednesday, putting him in charge of a union facing tricky contract talks with Detroit's "Big Three" automakers next year.
Williams, 61, has said he will serve only a single term as president of the 78-year-old union.

Canadian auto workers, will strike at Johnson Controls Inc's
Whitby, Ontario, plant if the parts maker does not
reverse its plan to close the facility in a couple of years, the

UAW's King says union needs to act globally, as corporations do
DETROIT, June 2 (Reuters) – Retiring United Auto Workers
President Bob King said in his farewell address on Monday said
that if the union is to regain the power it once had it will
have to make itself a global player, including organizing
foreign automakers in the United States.
All of the corporations the UAW deals with leverage their
power globally, said King in a speech at the UAW's convention in
Detroit. The UAW and unions around the world must support one
another or be doomed to be increasingly marginalized.
UAW meets to select new president, consider dues increase
DETROIT (Reuters) – The United Auto Workers union opened a four-day convention on Monday where 1,100 members will select a new president and decide whether to approve the first dues increase since 1967.
Dennis Williams, the union's 61-year-old secretary-treasurer, is expected to be elected president on Wednesday. He was selected last November by union leaders to head a slate of officers for four-year terms.
Retiring UAW chief sees road paved for union gains in South
DETROIT (Reuters) – Retiring United Auto Workers President Bob King said that while he did not achieve his goal of organizing a foreign-owned auto plant on U.S. soil, he believes he laid the groundwork for more than one to be brought into the union fold in the next president's term.
King, 67, said the UAW remains actively involved in talks with Volkswagen AG about representing workers at a Chattanooga, Tennessee, plant, where the union lost a close vote in February despite having tacit support from VW.

First Listen
Monolithium "Simon & G-Funk"
- Words: Glenn Jackson
- Label: Error Broadcast
Borderline ridiculous track name aside, this title cut (yes, he named his EP that too) from Victoria, BC resident Monolithium is an impressive feat of adventurous beat work. Hailing from his debut EP (artwork above), "Simon & G-Funk"—in all fairness—does embody a fair amount of G-funk characteristics, particularly in the track's futuristic chords and gliding melodies. But there's also a layer to the tune that takes a more somber, contemplative tone, utilizing dusty chords and melodic thumb piano placed around a set of chopped vocals to evoke a sense of distant yearning. These elements may seem at odds to some, but the unsual combination has proven to be the strength in Monolithium's technique. After downloading the song below, you can head here to take a listen to the rest of the Simon & G-Funk EP.

Big Brother 15 Eliminated Howard Overby For Week 5 Tonight,August 1st
Big Brother 15 eliminated Howard Overby for week 5 tonight,August 1st. Tonight's show,started off with footage from what went down in that house this past week. At one point, Howard and Spencer tried to come up with a plan to maybe get Amanda voted out,but that was a "no go," especially after Helen got in Candice's ear to create doubt with Spencer. From there, Candice blew up at Spencer in front of the entire house to make sure she spoiled any possible chance for Spencer, making any leeway with the "vote out Amanda" plan.
Candice's little blow up also drew a larger target on her back as it made the girls: Aaryn,Jessie,and GinaMarie, even more worried about Candice being in the house as outburst like that, would ruin their game. Next, host Julie Chen, talked live with the houseguests in the living room.
