Setanta, ESPN couldn't make UK footie TV work. How will BT Sport?
and motogp
Couldn't care less about football (except to hope BT lose lots of money on it). But now the B**T**** have got MotoGP too. Guess that leaves BBC with nothing. I don't care for crappy streams, I want to timeshift and fast forward and rewind just like I've been doing for years. Backward step to lose, lose all round. Yes, I'm a Luddite

Where's the ANT+ ? All the bike HRM, speed, cadence sensors use it.
What happened to the link to the Hardware site?
Re: and the print option?
"It's still there! Under the comments button and above the Twitter/Facebook likes"
Blimey, so there is. Thanks! Wouldn't have found it in a million years.
So long as there's a print button there can be as many (or few!) pages as you like!
and the print option?
There used to be a 'print' button to make it more 'work friendly' and save having to do the next page, next page thing every few paragraphs.
Not worth fighting through all the non article bits to read anything in hardware now and looks like the other sections are going the same way.
Humax HDR-Fox T2 Freeview HD DVR
never again
Having the misfortune to have a Humax 9300 thingy, I'll never own any more of their kit. Ever. Unreliable pos - whole programs it doesn't bother to record, starts or ends missed (yeah, could be broadcasters fault but I don't care anymore), freezes (and yes firmware is up to date). Oh yes, the nice way it wipes your entire recording schedule without even a warning if you rescan the channels. And more.

I don't feel any empathy for
I don't feel any empathy for Dorner. If the LAPD did or did not start the fire, Dorner had it coming. The man was a killer who was putting up a dang good fight in the cabin who intended to go out in a dramatic style but instead went out in flames.
Many people say, "doesn't Dorner deserve due process and a fair trial?" Well the way I see it, a person who is on the run and hiding who is being accused of murder, engages in a gun fight with the police once he is compromised and is killed by the police (supposedly) by destroying the shelter he was in, the only way he will get due process is if he surrenders and allows himself due process, and he didn't. Now people are backing the killer? Saying he deserves due process? Yes he did deserve due process if he surrendered and was arrested, but that's not the case. Would it had made a difference if SWAT went in and double tapped him? Maybe it would be more humane so to speak but your also risking lives. Drone drops a bomb on him? I think that would be wrong due to the fact nobody would know the state of mind he was in (surrender or not, assuming there was no gun fight) since there was a fight, he intended to kill and be killed, burn down the cabin.

Do you also dream about a life of seduction, sex and travel?
The first rays of sunshine stray into your room. You open your drowsy eyes. You feel a tender kiss on your cheek and you turn around slowly. Words can't describe the beauty of the woman who is lying next to you.
Her exotic eyes, her gorgeous body and her lascivious glimpse drive you out of your mind. She still has the same effect on you as the night before. She kisses you passionately whilst you caress her back down to her perfectly shaped butt.
For a while you are lying in bed holding each other tightly, till your beautiful beloved decides to hop into the shower. You just can't stop gazing after her, the moment she leaves your bed bar naked, kisses you one last time with passion and wend her way to the bathroom.
Her butt, her breasts, her smile, her angelic face…your lips form to a broad grin.
While you enjoy every part of her body until she disappears in the bathroom, you remember your experiences from last night. You remember how you met this beautiful exotic angel at the beach near your apartment.
The way you approached her was confident and playful at the same time. The way you told her that she looks amazingly beautiful left her speechless for a couple of seconds, before she showed her joy about your compliment by smiling at you in the most heart-warming way.
While you wallow around in bed you have to smile again. You have to smile because you remember how you instantly connected with this girl by talking with her over an hour in one of the bars next to the beach and because you didn't even believe that a man and a woman can have such a strong connection after such a short amount of time.
By licking your lips the memory of your first kiss comes back into your mind. You were walking with her hand in hand at the beach and when the sun was about to go down you took your courage in both hands and kissed her.
It was an amazing feeling. The only feeling that felt even more amazing was the moment when you slowly undressed her in your room, until she stood right in front of your bed…completely naked.
The sex was mind-blowing and fuelled with passion, attraction and an incredible desire to completely immerse in the sexual chemistry and energy that both of you felt. That's exactly what you did.
You have no doubt that you won't ever forget this night and that the time you spend with this girl is more memorable than all the other nights you have experienced with girls back home. Words can't describe the feelings that this night unleashed.
Suddenly, your whole body is filled with feelings of pride and contentment. You smile again. When you look back at your old life and compare it with the life you are living now, you simply can't believe that all of this is real.
The naked exotic beauty in your shower, the amazing sex last night, the strong feelings of passion and excitement that you have experienced with this girl…everything seems so unreal.
You need a moment to realize that the change you've been through is actually real and that the life you live at the moment is your new reality. When you think about where you came from you are sorely tempted to cry tears of joy.
You think back at a time where you had no success with women at all. Your approach anxiety paralyzed you whenever you tried to walk up to a woman to introduce yourself to her and you just couldn't stop worrying about what other people think of you.
You didn't know how to seduce women, had no idea what the art of seduction was and traveling the world in search of beautiful foreign girls sounded rather like a faraway dream than a lifestyle that you could actually make your reality.
Since then, things have changed. At some point in your life you decided to take over the full responsibility for your life. You decided that it is time to change and that it is time to live your life the way you want to live it and not the way society wants you to.
You finally made the decision that you deserve to attract beautiful women into your life, that you deserve to experience unforgettable adventures and that you deserve to have the best sex of your life with women from all over the world.
By thinking about how far you've come, you have to smile again. Now you are living your dream, now you are able to seduce the women you want to seduce and now you have sex with the women you want to have sex with. Traveling the world in search of the most beautiful women and unforgettable sexual experiences is no longer just a dream for you.
This dream has become your reality and you couldn't be any happier that you decided to take your life in your own hands and followed a path of seduction, sex and travel. Now you know how it feels to live a fulfilled life.
While you are thinking about how your life has changed since you decided to live a life of seduction and adventurous sex travel, the sound of the switched on shower jolts you out of your daydreams.
The sound of the shower put an end to your daydreaming about last night, your old way of living life, your journey of personal development and your current life. You are thankful for the life you are living now, you appreciate your journey and you are convinced that you never want to go back to your old life.
You never want to go back to a life without the ability to seduce women, without amazing sexual experiences and without travels that have the single purpose to seduce and date beautiful exotic women.
Now you live a life worth living and one aspect of it is an abundance of beautiful women, such as the gorgeous beauty that is currently takin a shower in your bathroom.
The thought that a gorgeous naked woman is under your shower and you are only a few meters away from reliving last night's experiences, makes your heart thump. The thought of watching the water run down her well-shaped breasts and feeling her soft skin on your body motivates you to leave your comfortable bed.
You get out of bed and walk towards your balcony door. Your room smells like sex. You draw the curtain slowly aside and only now you really wake up through the energizing rays of the sun.
You open your balcony door and you step outside. From your balcony you watch the palms waving in the wind and you enjoy the direct view on the crystal clear and light blue ocean, that is located not far from your apartment.
You inhale the fresh sea air, you exhale and you are at peace with the world and yourself. Just as you think about the seaside café to which you want to go for breakfast with your stunningly beautiful companion, she stands right in front of you, dressed with just a towel. She looks at you with a seductive smile.
She comes closer to you while looking you deep in the eyes. Her wet hair touches your shoulder by the time she starts to kiss you. The kiss is intensive and passionate. Her towel falls to the ground and she hugs you with her wet naked body. This time the sex is even better than the night before.
After both of you lie totally exhausted in each other's arms, you remember how you just reflected on your life before she came back from the shower to seduce you once again. Again, you take a second to appreciate your life full of seduction, sex and travel.
All you see is a life of happiness, unforgettable adventures and an overwhelming feeling of fulfilment. Not so long ago this was a life that you couldn't have imagined in your wildest dreams.
A dream, is it really just a dream?
For many men a life full of travel, breath-taking experiences, beautiful exotic women, seduction, passionate sex and wild adventures is just a dream.
Make it your reality!
Travel the world, seduce beautiful women, have the best sex of your life and live your dreams…
Do you dream about having sex with the hottest women in the world?

Most events in Avalon are not pre-planned but a result of the ebb and flow of its peoples, cities and guilds. Conflicts, large or small, often spring up quickly and are not controlled in advance by the Gods. There are a number of key events, however, like the Divine Court, or the Gem Quests, or Ordination and these are listed below with exact dates included when known.
There are no extra-ordinary meetings of the Pantheon, Divine Court or public parliaments scheduled at this time.
Avalon is a bustling, unpredictable and extraordinarily rich society and many of its most significant events are driven by mortal-activity (like a war between two cities). These cannot be "scheduled" needless to say. What can, on the other hand, are Divine Gem Quests, Deity Events and certain player-managed contests of general interest such as the Avalon Quiz. Below is a list of formally scheduled events including date and summary info.
Avalon's Ordination on November 9th was won by Salvador. He became Elmaethor god of the stars. Events: they can take a back seat for a while!

5.0 out of 5 stars BLU-RAY Comprehensive Review - Well Worth It, With One Great New Extra Feature,
This review is from: Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures (Raiders of the Lost Ark / Temple of Doom / Last Crusade / Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Swinging onto Blu-Ray at last, INDIANA JONES: THE COMPLETE ADVENTURES is undoubtedly going to rank as one of the fall's must-have format releases. Paramount's five-disc set includes the HD debuts of "Raiders of the Lost Ark," "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" on Blu-Ray with a fourth disc of extras and a fifth ("Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull") that some fans likely feel is best left as a beverage coaster. It's a great package that starts with new AVC encoded 1080p transfers and remixed DTS MA soundtracks of each film -- and by this point, is there any reason to re-analyze Steven Spielberg and George Lucas' legendary Saturday Matinee adventures? Each entry in the original Indy trilogy is immeasurably entertaining on its own respective merits, though fans can still quibble about which one is best.
RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK thankfully still retains its original on-screen title (despite its packaging as "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark"), and remains a classic of the action-adventure genre. With a smart Lawrence Kasdan script (from a George Lucas-Philip Kaufman story), classic stunts and Spielberg working at the peak of his talent, "Raiders" is pure and unadulterated fun, with Ford introducing us to the centerpiece role of his career and Karen Allen easily providing the best female love interest of the series.
Paramount's AVC encoded transfer of "Raiders" is much more "contrasty" than I've seen the movie before - and not quite as green and "lush", especially in the early jungle sequences -- but it's also clear this new HD scan is light years ahead of any prior video release in terms of detail. I can't recall how the film originally appeared in theaters so it's entirely possible the color scheme is also more faithful to cinematographer Douglas Slocombe's theatrical version than the prior DVD releases - certainly it's an excellent transfer overall, with fine detail visible throughout. The DTS MA soundtrack is forceful and superbly engineered, offering a broad stage for John Williams' legendary score and crisp sound effects. Three original trailers are the disc's sole extras - a short teaser (selling the film on the merits of Spielberg's past blockbusters), full theatrical trailer, and a 1983 re-release trailer (from the "Superman" trailer voice-over guy) are each presented in AVC encoded 1080p.
The first sequel (technically a prequel, even though it's a standalone adventure), INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM was controversial in its day (along with another Spielberg production, "Gremlins," it helped create the PG-13 rating, which was initiated before the summer of '84 was out), and even now it's a nasty, violent ride compared to the other Indy adventures. The script by Lucas pals Willard Huyuck and Gloria Katz ("American Graffiti") is silly and more excessive than either "Raiders" or "The Last Crusade," and Kate Capshaw's whiny Willie Scott is a comedown from Karen Allen's Marion -- so much so that it's tough for "Temple of Doom" not to be compared unfavorably with its predecessor. Still, the movie's final third is a blast, and John Williams' majestic, triumphant score may be his most inspired of the series: his themes for the Indy-Willie romance, Short Round's Theme, the mine cart ride, and the regal music that accompanies our heroes through the jungles of India are simply spectacular, and when combined with the original "Raiders March," create a phenomenal underscore that effortlessly carries the audience past the sequel's lesser aspects.
Opening with the glorious musical staging of Cole Porter's "Anything Goes" (a lavish set-piece many critics rightfully noted was one of the highlights of the entire picture), "Temple of Doom" is the most colorful of the entire series in terms of its appearance, and the Blu-Ray's impressive HD transfer looks so natural that viewers can more easily spot discrepancies in the original cinematography (particularly during the climactic rope bridge sequence) they may not have noticed before. The soundtrack is again impressive, and both the original teaser and what appears to be an early (and underwhelming) theatrical trailer (running just a minute and with a 1983 copyright) included for extras.
The problems with the second film were rectified with the 1989 blockbuster INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE, which on a surface level sounds like a "Raiders" rehash but adds a warm, richer emotional component through Sean Connery's magnetic performance as Indy's father, Dr. Henry Jones. Connery is magnificent and his interplay with Harrison Ford is amusing and poignant, giving the movie an added human dimension absent from the amusement-park action of "Temple of Doom" and matching the level of character development found in "Raiders." John Rhys-Davies and Denholm Elliott return from the original, and the movie entertainingly reprises the quest-styled plot of "Raiders" as Indy tries to track down his father, who was lost while searching for the Holy Grail. While "The Last Crusade" may lack the freshness of the original, it's right up there in terms of my personal fondness for the material - Connery and Ford are so good together that the film's strengths are only magnified on repeat viewing, and the lengthy opening sequence with River Phoenix as a younger Indy is a sheer delight, with a buoyant John Williams score to match.
Paramount's 1080p transfer is in line with the "Raiders" and "Temple of Doom" discs - displaying crisp detail and a thankful lack of DNR - while the DTS MA soundtrack is again effectively engineered. Both the film's original 1988 teaser (showing the crew at work on the sequel) and full theatrical trailer are included as well.
Shortly after INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL was released, I received an email from a reader saying that I was unfairly harsh on the belated - and thoroughly unnecessary - fourth installment in the series. Frankly, after reading my original review over again, I actually don't think I was hard enough on it!
Ranking as one of the most disposable films in director Spielberg's canon, this lightly entertaining but forgettable fantasy is compromised by a leaden David Koepp script nearly completely devoid of interesting characters, wit or innovation. While Harrison Ford still fits comfortably into his iconic role - with Indy coerced into helping a group of nefarious Russians search for an ancient relic that possesses a supernatural power - the film rolls snake eyes in terms of Cate Blanchett's villainess (one of many thankless roles), Indy's relationship with a young greaser (the continually charisma-challenged Shia LaBeouf) who needs his help finding a lost archeologist (John Hurt, playing what was likely Sean Connery's role) and his kidnapped mom -- who turns out to be none other than Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen, wasted in a few minutes of screen time) herself.
The film overdoses on plot exposition (the mid-section of the picture is crushingly dull, bogged down in endless babble about the skull and its power) and fails to give its terrific cast much to do. Ford is as amiable as ever but even he seems a little ill at ease with some of the leaden dialogue, which doesn't exactly crackle the way Lawrence Kasdan, Jeffrey Boam or even Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz's work did in this film's far superior predecessors.
Recalling the sluggish pacing of "The Lost World" (I cringe even writing that statement), little in Spielberg's direction clicks either: would-be comedic moments fall flat, while action scenes tend to exhibit a "been there, done that" feel at every turn. The infusion of CGI - heavily used in the movie, as it turns out -- is also in stark contrast to the prior films in the series (as is Janusz Kaminski's overly stylized cinematography, which does no favors for the picture either. It's amazing how claustrophobic and unappealing this movie looks, the bulk of it all too obviously having been shot on soundstages). Finally, the picture also greatly misses Sean Connery's warmth and humor as Indy's dad -- so much that it's unsurprising the few times "Indy IV" manages to strike an emotional chord is in its pair of direct references to Indy's late father (Connery was contacted to appear in the film but ultimately passed on it -- a wise maneuver in hindsight, particularly considering how well the third movie turned out). In the end, "Crystal Skull" commits the worst sin of all: it's completely forgettable. Five minutes after the film was over I struggled to recall the specifics of the plot or individual sequences in it, feeling as if the series truly finished with the ride off into the sunset at the end of "The Last Crusade." Everything about this entry, ultimately, screams too little, too late.
Paramount's HD presentation of the fourth film is on par with their prior Blu-Ray, boasting a clear 1080p AVC encoded transfer and DTS MA soundtrack. Three trailers (marked trailers 2-4) in HD round out the disc.
Trailers aside, all the supplements are included in the fifth Bonus Features disc, which one imagines will remain exclusive to the box-set, offering a satisfying mix of previously-released content and one significant new addition. Here's a breakdown:
On Set With Raiders of the Lost Ark: The set's big new extra is this hour-long compilation of behind-the-scenes footage from the production of "Raiders." Taken mostly from 16mm handheld camera sources with some never-before-seen outtakes from the picture mixed with candid interviews from the cast and crew - and even a few deleted scenes - fans should love this piece, which gives viewers a real, honest sense of the day-to-day shoot, both on-location and at Pinewood Studios in the UK. (HD)
Making The Films: The original 1981 "Making of Raiders of the Lost Ark" from Howard Kazanjian and Phillip Schuman (57 mins.) is presented here along with Laurent Bouzereau's retrospective documentaries for "Raiders," "Temple of Doom" and "Last Crusade" from the 2003 DVD box-set, each offering a 40-50 minute segment devoted to each picture (all of these segments are in standard-def). The 28-minute "Crystal Skull" Making Of, meanwhile, is presented in HD (a much longer version of this Making Of was included in the original, two-disc Blu-Ray/DVD release of the film).
Behind the Scenes: A number of featurettes from the 2003 DVD Indy box-set include a John Williams interview in "The Music of Indiana Jones," plus "The Stunts of Indiana Jones," "The Sound of Indiana Jones," and "The Light and Magic of Indiana Jones." Brought over from the 2008 DVD release are "Raiders: The Melting Face!", "Indiana Jones and the Creepy Crawlies," "Travel With Indiana Jones: Locations," "Indy's Women: The American Film Institute Tribute," and "Indy's Friends and Enemies." Reprieved from the original "Crystal Skull" release are "Iconic Props," "The Effects of Indy" and "Adventures in Post-Production." Note that these "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" featurettes are presented in standard-def (the original Blu-Ray of the film offered these same segments in HD) while several other "Crystal Skull" featurettes from the prior release aren't included here at all.
Completists who enjoy "Crystal Skull" may want to hold onto the original BD release of the film for its more extensive supplements - otherwise, this set contains basically all of the extras from the prior Indy DVD releases, sans storyboard galleries.
Ultimately, Paramount has delivered a great-looking, and sonically superior, Blu-Ray set that pays tribute to the work of Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Douglas Slocombe, John Williams and all the other master craftspeople involved in the production of the Indiana Jones series. Highly recommended, just as one would hope!

5.0 out of 5 stars Blu-ray Review: "Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures",
ERSInk . com "Eric" (Grand Prairie, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures (Raiders of the Lost Ark / Temple of Doom / Last Crusade / Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I am an Indiana Jones fan through and through. I have been since I saw "Raiders of the Lost Ark" as a child in 1981. The Blu-ray release of such a monumental piece of film history merits taking the day off work and viewing all the entries of the series. Yes, that DOES include "The Temple of Doom" and "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."
"Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures" is what every fan of the archaeologist adventurer has been waiting for since the inception of Blu-ray. It features every film in beautiful high-definition with "Raiders of the Lost Ark" getting the special restoration treatment. The film looks beautiful both at home and on the big-screen. I took my boys to see it in the theater. The film brought tears to my eyes as I thought about the first time I saw it so many years ago and what it meant to me. This was a life-changing event for me much like seeing Star Wars was a few years earlier.
I want to stop and focus on "Raiders" for a moment since it's the one that got the most attention. It doesn't lose any of its classic grainy film look. It's just cleaned up and more vibrant. The latest restoration of "Jaws" for Blu-ray somehow looks better, but maybe that's because it needed more work to begin with.
Strangely, they didn't tidy up any of the visual effects the way George Lucas is known to do with his space saga. The movie is still effective exactly how it is. However, it would be interesting to see the effects-heavy ending with some of that ILM wizardry put to work on it.
"Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" is just as much fun as it always has been. This is probably the second least favorite film in the franchise behind "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" for most fanatics. It's still a thrilling rollercoaster ride with some great humor thrown in.
"Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" to this day wraps up the first three films in the "original" trilogy perfectly. It brings back Sallah and Brody and takes us back into the desert to battle Nazis. It also introduces us to Indy's father, who couldn't be anyone else BUT James Bond. Sean Connery delivers a humorous and heartfelt performance as the father of the most famous archaeologist adventurer. Harrison Ford and Connery trade quips and bicker amongst each other in such a convincing manner, you'd think they were really related to each other. It also brings the subject of the quest full circle back to a Christian artifact. Many viewers would agree they were the most successful entries in the series.
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" is definitely the most hated of the series. I get in an argument at least once a week with some crazed Indy fan who whines about how this movie single-handedly destroyed their enjoyment of the entire franchise or wishes it was never made. Some people are so ungrateful. Steven Spielberg delivered a fun adventure that looks and feels very much like it belongs right next to the rest of the films.
The complainers about Indy surviving an atomic explosion after being catapulted through the air to land safely in the desert have selective memory loss. Apparently they don't remember other fantastical moments in the series like the Ark of the Covenant melting people and disintegrating a troop of Nazi officers. How about jumping out of a plane in a raft and landing safely in a river? When was the last time you walked across a canyon on an invisible bridge? Also, the search for three magic rocks is waaaaay off base when compared to ancient alien astronauts. It's unbelievable here, but we sure can accept if for Prometheus.
Bonus features for the set include "Making of" documentaries for every film and several "Behind the Scenes" featurettes. There are teaser and theatrical trailers for each film on each disc as well. There's enough bonus material to merit a fifth disc. Strangely, many of the extras for "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" are not found here. Completists might throw a bit of a fit over that. I say just keep your original copy of the movie on Blu-ray if you really want it.
The "Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures" Blu-ray set will look immaculate sitting next to your "Star Wars" Blu-ray set. The packaging is the same material and style. They look like they belong together with their matching Lucasfilm logos on the spines. It's strange how movies that continue to make an immeasurable impact on people can fit into such a small space on a shelf. They also remind me of how much thanks I owe to George Lucas and Steven Spielberg for a memorable childhood. Any fanboy or girl who grew up with these films and says differently is lying to themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Box-Set,
Warheart (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventure Collection (Raiders of the Lost Ark / Temple of Doom / Last Crusade / Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) (DVD)
Okay, I believe we all know who Indiana Jones, is, right? I grew up with Indy and my kids will be the same. This new box-set is the definitive Indy box-set. This set features the original classic trilogy plus the newest addition, "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". Just like the set that came out in May for the 4th movie, this set comes with the new special editions of the original 3 movies. The best part about this set is that the 4th movie is the 2-Disc special edition and not the lame 1-disc version. My only complaints with this set are 1) that the DVD cases are those really lame slim cases and not regular sized DVD cases and 2) the bonus disc from the original trilogy boxset is missing (although the special features makeup for that is most respects) and 3) while the cover is cool, the order of each movie cover is weird; you start from the top right and work your way around. All in all, this is the best Indy box-set out there and it's worth getting. Here's my ratings for each movie:
Raiders of the Lost Ark: 5/5
The Temple of Doom: 4/5
The Last Crusade: 5/5
The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: 3.5/5

2.0 out of 5 stars Great movies ruined by terrible packaging AGAIN.,
This review is from: Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures (Raiders of the Lost Ark / Temple of Doom / Last Crusade / Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Yes, it's finally out!! Been waiting so long! But... Not sure if everyone else is oblivious to the risk of this collection but read on...
What is seriously going on with the execs who make the decisions for these long awaited collections? Is it a conspiracy for companies to give us bad packaging in hopes we ruin the product in hopes we buy it again after we ruin them over a long period? I'm not a movie troller who hates movies and Indiana Jones is one of the greatest franchises ever, I'm just fed up with these horrible packaging ideas. Basically the Indiana Jones Adventures is in identical packaging to the Clint Eastwood collection which was one of the worst packaging ideas ever. Here's the main issue, these treasured movies are stuffed in between two pieces of hard abrasive cardboard. In order to pull a movie out, you have to grab both sides of the disc right near the edge, immediately putting finger prints on the information side of the disc. Not to mention pulling it out on the bare cardboard as it's packed in so tight. Do this over a period of time, you're asking for trouble. Even trouble, i noticed a tiny 2cm scratch on Raiders the FIRST time I pulled it out from rubbing against the cardboard. Mind you, these blu ray discs can withstand scratches, but how much and for how long do you want to chance it? It's packed in so tight, it's just bound to happen when one day you're gonna freeze up thanks to a nice scratch from your case. IF you buy this collection which I still say you should, just take them out safely as you can and store them in a regular DVD Case. A major pain and yes, the case is basically worthless and nice to look at, but don't risk it if you want to savior this collection that is wonderful if you can salvage it before ruining it. Some people have said squeeze the cardboard to loosen and wait for it to fall out, I did try this on Raiders and temple and the disc did not move
If you want to know about the movies, on how they look, I actually think the older movies look even better than Skulls. Obviously the first 3 classics got the most love. Skulls is inferior, so we know why though. The extras are great, a nice documentary of watching Raiders with lots of deleted scenes and lost footage is an amazing find. Bonus materials are amazing! Just be really careful taking these movies out of the cases. Feel free to use Crystal Skulls as a coffee cup holder. ;)

4.0 out of 5 stars ALMOST perfect...,
Michael D. Kuhlman "koolman" (Pompano Beach, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures (Raiders of the Lost Ark / Temple of Doom / Last Crusade / Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Anyone who knows Indiana Jones already knows the plots of these films, so I won't pontificate on those details, and will get right to the transfers:
The Picture (Raiders):
The picture is very sharp, and the dark scenes show exceptionally deep shadow areas and rich colors, especially in the Ravenwood bar, which looks absolutely gorgeous, even more real than I remember it looking in cinemas, but I'm saddened to see that the highlights in the bright outdoor daylight scenes are largely blown out, white, gone.
This is either a problem with the transfer, or, and I hope not, the source, the original film negative. If the latter, it's so sad to see a great film like Raiders fade over time. If the former, we'll have to wait for yet another transfer. If I remember correctly, Lowry Digital Studios did the restorations for DVD back in 2003. I'm guessing the 2012 archivists, at Lowry or another facility, didn't use that old Lowry transfer for blu-ray because it was a much lower res scan than the 4k scan done here.
The transfer of Raiders also carries with it what another reviewer described as an "orange teel"; that is, everything is colored in a kind of golden amber warmth. This is great in the Raven bar and in the Idol's temple when Indy is bathed in the shaft of light emanating from the golden Idol itself, but, in other scenes, like the thunderstorm in the desert at night when the Arabs are uncovering the Well of Souls, the scene should be more blue, and is instead, in the amber tint of this transfer, kind of a neutral gray.
Compared to Temple, Crusade and even Crystal Skull, which look perfect, sadly, I have to give the visual transfer of Raiders only a 3.5 out of 5 stars. The transfer and restoration artists ALMOST got this transfer right, but, sadly, they blew it on maintaining the color and contrast. If director Steven Spielberg himself approved this transfer, he either didn't view it on a correctly calibrated monitor, or he's going senile.
Considering that Raiders of the Lost Ark is my favorite, and, arguably, the best movie in the whole Indiana Jones series, this transfer is a bit disheartening and disappointing, to say the least. To some of you who weren't born yet in 1981 when Raiders was originally released in cinemas, so you never got to see it on the big screen, and thus you have no reference for what Raiders is supposed to look like, you'll enjoy it just fine.
If you already own the DVD of Raiders, hold onto it, as it is, minus the standard-definition limitations of DVD, closer to Raiders' original, true cinematic vision.
The Sound (Raiders):
Some sound-FX and dialogue are crystal clear, with some new effects added, like dripping water in the South American temple and some new "pfew!" sound-FX of the poison darts spitting at Indy when he removes the Idol from its pedestal and flees as all hell breaks loose (YES! Thanks, Ben Burtt!), others less than stellar, a bit muted, and, like the Jaws transfer for blu-ray, sound mixers added that extra reverb to John Williams' classic score...broadened the spaciousness and cavernousness of the music, but the music now lacks the definition and clarity of the highs found on previous releases. Sounds like the London Symphony Orchestra is performing at a ball game. Enveloping, and yet lacking definition. Disappointing. I have to give the sound of Raiders a 4 out of 5 stars.
Now, onto Temple and Crusade...
The picture:
I'm only guessing here, and could be wrong, but it looks like these ARE the earlier, and excellent 2003 Lowry digital transfers done for the DVDs, now shown in their native high-res format, instead of being down-rezzed by the picture-quality limitations of DVD. They look great! The color red is more prevalent on the blu-rays of Temple and Crusade than on their corresponding DVDs, which is especially useful, and wonderful, inside the Temple of Doom, with all the red presumably coming from fiery volcanic fissures. This is a masterwork of film lighting from the late, great cinematographer Douglas Sloccombe, and is presented here gorgeously. Bravo!
The sound:
It has some nice new discreet directionality in the rear surrounds, which is especially evident in Crusade, when the Messerchmidts are chasing Indy and his dad. And John Williams' scores have never sounded better!
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull:
Picture quality seems to be the same as the previous blu-ray, which already looked quite good, faithful to Skull's theatrical release. The main difference here is the sound has been updated to DTS-HD, adding more depth to the soundtrack.
The extras from the DVD set are all here, with some new additions:
On Set With Raiders of the Lost Ark, which I found particularly rivetting, about the increasingly lost, dying art of on-set live action production. It shows the miracle of what was accomplished in-camera, with very little reliance on post-production, until we get to the opening of the Ark of the Covenant, with director Steven Spielberg saying how hard it is to explain to actors something that they can't see, and won't be there until post-production visual FX are completed. What I found most captivating about watching this footage is it shows just how tireless Steven Spielberg is. He really deserves all the money and credit he gets, because he works very hard. And he clearly LOVES what he is doing, making movies!
The original 1981 featurette, The Making of Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Melting Head, showcasing a modern reenactment of what was required to make Toht's head melt.
Indy's Women, showing a recent AFI interview with all three leading ladies in the classic trilogy, Karen Allen from Raiders, Kate Capshaw from Temple and Allison Doody from Crusade, talking about their characters and the experience of working on a tough, physical movie.
and probably one or two features I left out. It's a schmorgasbord. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Waited for years for this on Blu-Ray; great, BUT...,
Anthony B. Ford (Phoenix, Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures (Raiders of the Lost Ark / Temple of Doom / Last Crusade / Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I have been enthralled by all things Indiana Jones since Raiders of the Lost Ark came out in 1981. When the last movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull came out a few years back, it created a new interest by younger moviegoers in Indy's adventures, and that was pleasing to me in itself. I was curious, however, why it took so long for this series to be released on Blu-ray, and after an interminable wait to just get it done, here it is. And the series has been dusted off, buffed up, and a good amount of bonus material involving the "making of.." these movies has been released along with the movies. To Indy junkies it's like nectar from the gods. To casual viewers, perhaps the bonus material is not all that big a deal.
The series now takes up much less space than owning all four of the movies in individual cases; that in itself is a plus, as is the improved quality of the movies itself. But after all this time, and all the hype, when you open the package you may wonder, as I did, why they had to make the case on the cheap and have you slide the movies into cardboard sleeves instead of mounting them on little hubs as is usually done. It may be no big deal to the majority of people, but to me it's sort of like someone running their fingernails over a chalkboard to slide a pristine disc in and out of cardboard, which in itself is abrasive and is more so as it picks up dust over time. I'm sure the movies will continue to play fine for a long period of time, but I am also sure that each time you slide one out, the disc surface will have more and more little micro-scratches marring the surface.
A set such as this deserves decent packaging. In short, the movies are great and worth the wait. The packaging is cheap in order to save a few cents per set. There is really no excuse for it, sorry.

1.0 out of 5 stars Blu Ray Transfer is Horrible,
CultFilmFreaksDotCom "cultfilmfreak" (orange, california) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures (Raiders of the Lost Ark / Temple of Doom / Last Crusade / Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I really don't like when someone reviews movies based only on tech issues, but this Blu Ray has a horrible, and I mean, horrible transfer. I have done everything to try "fixing" my player to adhere to these issues, which include jumpy lines in clothes and graininess that doesn't fit the foreground, and the character's skin looking sickly and just terrible. Overall the Blu Ray transfer, compared to, for instance, to JAWS and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS, is just plain bad, and I cannot believe no one else is having these issues. I bought this and am sending it back pronto, and going with my old DVD box-set. Beware!

5.0 out of 5 stars Re: the packaging.,
This review is from: Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures (Raiders of the Lost Ark / Temple of Doom / Last Crusade / Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I have always loved these movies which obviously why I purchased this set. I wanted to address the packaging woes some have expressed. I personally think the packaging is pretty good. It is a sturdy cardboard boxed set. Where the cardboard meets the business side of the disk it has a glossy smooth texture which shouldn't harm the disks. Some have said that the pockets are very tight and nearly impossible to get the disks out. Mine holds the disks snugly enough to keep them from falling out but allows me to slide them out with little or no resistance. The only one that resisted at all was the pocket for the bonus disk and it was only slight.
This leads me to think that some folks may have gotten sets that came from a batch of defective boxes where perhaps too much glue was used in the packaging making them much tighter than they should be. Sometimes things like this happens to a whole batch of items. I bought a movie several years ago I had to return to the store three or four times because I kept getting copies where the bonus features didn't have any audio.
I am sorry for those who got bad packaging, but mine for one turned out good. So hopefully if you buy this set yours will too. Good luck!

4.0 out of 5 stars You won't regret buying this,
J. L. Alberti "Just A Film Fan" (Southwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures (Raiders of the Lost Ark / Temple of Doom / Last Crusade / Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Not really going to pontificate about how great they look or sound. Can sum it up in one word, outstanding (no exclamation point). The extras, again a thumbs' up. One thing about the extras though, not all the Crystal Skull special features got ported over. So if you got it, save it. If you didn't, get it. if you bought any exclusives you might want to keep them. Got the Best Buy Trilogy with the extra Vintage Featurette disc and the Target book exclusive and learned not to dump any special editions.
Now lets get to the reason this gets four stars and not five. It's really not about these movies in particular, it's about he packaging. The first Blu-ray book style packaging I got was Avatar. It had a nice little tray and you could pull out the disc about half way to grab it. Then came Star Wars, yikes! A semi-tray that I had to stick my finger under the disc and pull it out. Not a fan of this because I don't like to grab the playing surface of the disc. This goes back to the first DVDs and players. Any scratches or fingerprint smudges affected playback. As the lasers got better it wasn't so much an issue but still hate to touch the disc.
This packaging really threw me. not only did I have to pinch the disc to grab it but it really is an effort to pull it out. Can't tell for sure but there is something in the page/sleeve that is retaining the disc. Don't know if it's to keep them from falling out if you happen to hold the book by the spine with the pages down. Equal effort to put them back in. I know Blu-rays are supposed to be tough but, we really don't need to test that with this type of packaging.
I know, I know. You think I'm trying to find something wrong in an otherwise perfect release. Don't get me wrong, I highly recommend this set. Just trying to give the whole picture. If you bought this you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't then I'm giving you a head's up.
As always just speaking as a consumer and fan of the medium. Every day takes us one step closer to finally retiring our VCR's and giving the tapes to charity. Thank you Phillips for pursuing laser video technology.
P.S. When is 1941 going to be on Blu-ray, Steven?

Interview: Ian Fetterman - Pumpkin Carver Extraordinaire

You don't really think that elections ever end in Illinois, do you? No, they really don't. In the city of Chicago, we have Local School Council elections this week, and though NDFA did not endorse in the LSC races this year, there are several candidates who would appreciate your help if you live in their areas:
Theresa Mah (Steering Committee member) is running for LSC at Thomas Kelly High School (4136 S. California) and was endorsed by Progressive Alliance PAC.
Alonso Zaragosa, who ran for committeeman in the 31st Ward, is running for LSC at Lloyd Elementary School, near Armitage and Cicero, and also for LSC at Kelvyn Park High School (4343 West Wrightwood Avenue).
Long time member Joe Laiacona is running for LSC at Theodore Roosevelt High School in Albany Park (Wilson and Kimball).
NDFA member and Raise Your Hand Board Member Jill Wohl sent the following recommendations for some north side LSC's:
Amundsen High School (corner of Damen and Foster):
My apologies for being delinquent in writing for a few weeks: it's been nearly two weeks since the election, and it felt like we could all use a bit of a break post-election.
With the end of the primary just six days away, we are entering the critical phase: voters are really paying attention and all our campaigns need as much help as we can give them. (Side note: Thursday, March 15 is the last day of early voting – if you haven't voted yet, please get out and vote!)
At the meeting on Tuesday, we heard from representatives from all our adopted campaigns, who gave updates on the campaign, and asked for help – if we want to see these folks win their primaries, now is the time to show support. We also voted to endorsed Kevin Allen, running for State Senate in the 23rd District in DuPage County – he's running against two other candidates for the pleasure of running against the Republican in the general.
Our monthly meeting is coming up – last one before the election!
For a number of years, NDFA has produced a Judicial Ratings Voting Guide. We combine the rankings of the various Bar Associations, highlight the ones with negatives from 80% or more of the Bar Associations, and encourage voters to make up their own minds on who to vote for. We put our sources for the rankings on the sheet, so if voters wish to follow up they may -- often the Bar Associations will give the reasons for their rankings on their websites.
After an early attempt, NDFA has long had a policy of not endorsing judges: we don't attempt to evaluate the candidates ourselves, nor do we hear from judicial candidates at our meetings. Judicial candidates are welcome to come and talk to members informally during our social hour.
This time, the Judicial Guide has stirred up some controversy. At least two members have emailed me with their surprise over the rankings of one of the candidates. One stated:
Because we are in the countdown to Election Day, there are more and more events every week for all our candidates – it's hard to keep up. There is no time more critical for our candidates: we need to help get out the vote and make change. It's when people don't vote that things stay the same: the status quo likes low voter turnout. When voters turn out at the polls, change happens. And what we need is to make sure our voters are getting out and voting – because it's not just any change we want to see happen, it's progressive change with candidates who will move the conversation, the state, and the country forward – not backward into the 19th Century (and listening to some of the Republican candidates and elected officials in the last week, the 19th Century might be a generous estimate of how far back they want to set us: anybody longing for the feudal system?).
Countdown to Election Day – early voting started today! This is when everything we do becomes absolutely critical in getting out the vote and making a difference for our candidates. Our members voted to adopt two more candidates, with the vote being final last week: John Arena is now adopted in his race for committeeman (Sandra Verthein is the liaison for his campaign) and Rudy Lozano Jr. is adopted in his race for state representative (Theresa Mah is the liaison for his campaign). We also voted to endorse Anne Shaw in her race for committeeman of the 1st Ward. Congratulations to all these candidates!
Meanwhile, there are events, events, events to attend and work on. Here are a few upcoming in the next week:
We're a month away from Election Day – and early voting start on February 27, so we're running out of time quickly now before the votes will start rolling in and counted. It's more important than ever to get out and work if we want to see our candidates elected.
Exactly one week from today is our monthly meeting. We'll have the following guest speakers:
1) Des Plaines Mayor Marty Moylan, running for state representative in the 65th district. Why is this race interesting, you ask? Because the incumbent, Republican Rosemary Mulligan, failed to collect enough valid signatures to get on the ballot … so it's an unexpectedly open seat. You can learn more about the mayor here: http://www.moylanforstaterep.com/index.html
2) Kevin Allen, running for state senate in the 23rd district. Kevin is a long-time supporter of NDFA, and the district is largely in the 8th congressional district (where we are supporting Raja Krishnamoorthi). You can read Kevin's answers to the IVI-IPO questionnaire here: http://www.iviipo.org/Prim2012/Jan14-OOC/Allen,%20K%2023SD-D.pdf
3) Anne Shaw, running for committeeman in the 1st Ward, against Alderman Proco Joe Moreno, continuing our goal of getting involved in committeeman races wherever possible.
Programmers and nerds have begun taking the flood of public data availalbe online from the city and the county and putting it in easy-to-digest forms. The city is encouraging this, but the programmers are not paid by or under contract to the government. There are only 4 apps so far, but more are coming. One tracks the progress of snow plows through the city. Another shows all of the lobbyists registered with the city, how much they were paid, who their clients are, what parts of government they lobbied, etc. For example, the top-paid lobbyist made almost $1 million in 2010. Ald. Dick Mell made $10,000 lobbying the city. Do you think it's proper for an elected official to be paid to lobby the city?
Anyway, check out opencityapps.org

Hostility toward boys too normal in today's school system
Yvette Cooper says more feminism needed in schools
In a recent Independent article Yvette Cooper laments that girls are routinely called "whore, bitch, slag, slut," by boys, have their shirts forcibly undone, their skirts lifted and held up by groups of boys, and have half-naked photos shared around as acts of revenge by gangs of misogynistic boys. Josh O'Brien calls bullshit.
Continuously ignored by the mainstream, hundreds more men and boys are killed by Boko Haram. What's the excuse now?
The killing of men and boys in Nigeria continues to be dismissed with the refrain of, "They're dead, who cares – we need to focus on the abducted schoolgirls." Now, hundreds more males have been killed, so to those who dismissed the earlier slaughter of boys Jonathan Taylor has only this to ask – what's your excuse now?

California-based Wawona Packing Co. has started a recall of several lots of fresh fruit distributed across the United States, citing concerns of possible listeria contamination as the reason for the move.
The company stated that there were no reports of illness related to its production but the voluntary recall was a precautionary measure, implemented after consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The recall affects fresh peaches, nectarines, plums and pluots packed between July 1 and July 12.
According to a statement by the company, Wawona has notified retailers and distributors nationwide of the recall. Concerns over possible listeria contamination were raised after internal tests at the company's packing facility in Cutler, Tulare County. As a result, Wawona closed down the packing lines and sanitized the entire facility. Subsequent tests on production were negative.
The company prioritizes the safety of consumers and aims to minimize the risks to public safety by initiating the recall and making sure potentially harmful products are removed from the market, said Brent Smittcamp, president of Wawona Packing.
In healthy adults listeria infection can cause high fever, headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. It can be very dangerous to children and elderly people, and poses a serious risk to pregnant women as it may cause miscarriage and stillbirth.
