This week saw the launch of the brand new Premier League & The FA Facilities Fund, which is funded by the Premier League, The FA and the Government via Sport England and will invest £102m over three years into building and refurbishing local football facilities.
An example of how such facilities can benefit local communities was highlighted at the official launch of the Fund, which was held at the London Nautical School in Southwark.
The school has directly benefitted from the construction of two 3G artificial grass pitches, which were refurbished this year with the help of a £77,920 grant from the Football Foundation, and now more than 250 school children use the pitches every week while the facility is also available to community groups for free.
Here, Jim Goldsmith, Head of PE at the London Nautical School, tells premierleague.com how the pitches have made an impact on his pupils.
"This facility offers the chance for the boys to have a good experience of PE. The guidelines that we get are that our PE curriculum has to be broad with multiple activities that the boys take part in, and without that facility outside we would be in a bad way.
"I don't know how we would get on if we didn't have these facilities"
Jim Goldsmith
"We only have a sports hall and a gymnasium. We have to book the courts just so that we can get classes out and offer the broadness of the curriculum that we do. Without that we could be left in situations where we have two classes in one sports hall doing two different things and you can't teach in that. It's not practical.
"We don't just offer curriculum lessons out there, we offer extra-curriculum clubs too, so after school there are boys out there playing till 5pm and then community groups come in to use the facility after that.
"For example, on one of the nights this week we had around 60 Year 7s come to training after school and that's not taking into account the lessons from period one to period six every day. Every boy here has been out on the courts at one point.
"We just wouldn't be able to function effectively as a PE department without this facility and that would have an impact on our GCSE results. At the moment our results are the highest in the school and it's because we're a strong department and we can offer that variety of sports. I don't know how we would get on if we didn't have these facilities. We are very fortunate to have them and for us, it has made a huge impact.
"At an inner London boys' secondary school such as this, sport is high on the agenda of the youngsters. And as much as you get boys who want to play football, they have a magnificent opportunity here to take part in and enjoy as many sports as possible as well as continuing that afterwards.
"For me as a head of department, if one of my boys can leave this school and go to any country in the world and take up a sport there, I've done my job. If they go on to a beach in Brazil and play volleyball that's brilliant, if they go over to eastern Europe and go and play handball that's superb because they learned that here.
"When I went on a school trip to Barcelona, volleyball was a surprise. To see people out on Barcelona beach playing it I said: "What is this sport?" I had never played it before. I wouldn't want that for the boys coming through this school. I want them to have as much variety as possible and these facilities really help."

Never mind your little brother - happy 10th birthday, H.264
As technology advances, video codecs come and go naturally enough. But while H.265 is still waiting in the wings, we should pay tribute to the groundbreaking H.264, which is a decade old this month. H.264 is possibly not the snappiest or most memorable name, but even 10 years on it remains an important video coding standard, one …
My. Brain. Hurts.
I vaguely, in a hand-wavy kind of way, knew that information in a frame that didn't change from the previous one could be 'compressed'. Meaning it didn't have to be transmitted again, just the location of the unchanged pixel. And thus digital television worked!
However, it appears my understanding was like thinking quantum mechanics is all about rolling dice...
Fascinating article. Cheers John.
Re: My. Brain. Hurts.
For years, I spent my early coding days trying to "beat" ZIP compression in a similar way. If we have some data, can we try to predict what comes and somehow send the difference between our predictions and reality. The idea was started when I learned a technique in maths class to find a polynomial that would find any sequence of numbers you give it (which I used for everything from my "tri-square numbers" A-level project - finding a pattern of the numbers which are both triangular and square - which failed abysmally through lack of time and insight but got me an A through sheer determination and range of techniques even though I'd missed the obvious).
Of course, I was too dumb at the time to notice that most file data isn't all that predictable (there could be an argument made that you could predict the next word in a document, or the next part of a clipart image, but it's inherently poor because it's TOO unpredictable). I spent so much time trying to squeeze some form of compressed data and/or a partial "correction" vector through to a decoder that it cost me far more than I'd ever have saved, even in the time of floppies and 33K modems, and 90% of the time my data turned out to be larger than the original because the "corrections" for that application had to be lossless.
Maybe I should have applied it to photographic images back then, and I could be holding a handful of patents. Fact was, though, that full-colour images were rare and huge and hardly anybody had hardware capable of displaying them at that time (which reminds me: anyone remember an old DOS image viewer program called "display"? I remember it but it's IMPOSSIBLE to find via Google - they obviously didn't think that name through! - and I remember was that it was called Display has a DOS EDIT-blue screen, displayed full colour images through VESA modes, had a million and one options and had someone's name on it (probably the author but I'll be damned if I can find them).
With video, obviously the jump to temporal encoding springs up and makes things easier (I believe that, pretty much, the first image from a GOP is basically a JPEG, which was a problem already solved), not that I could claim to be able to do it myself with any efficiency.
Anyone else remember the old full-page adverts for the early MPEG cards that said you could store 3 minutes of video footage on a floppy? Seemed SO impressive back then but, hell, I have 1.5Mb MPEG's that - if you knocked the resolution back to what we had back then - could play for longer than even that.
Re: My. Brain. Hurts.
I used to use Cshow. It fit on a bootable floppy and used VESA modes to display pretty much any image on pretty much any PC. That and Vernon Buerg's List are among my all-time favourite programs.
Re: My. Brain. Hurts.
I dabbled in compression software too. Only one of my programs turned out to be any good, a block-level deduplicator that functions as a drop-in replacement for a compressor. It only works on data with block-aligned duplications - a constraint that happens to include media images and virtual machines. If you need to archive a VM, it'll do wonderfully. Takes ages though.
@Lee D (was: Re: My. Brain. Hurts.)
For that kind of thing, I'd look at the Simtel archive, now sadly offline. Try this link:
Re: My. Brain. Hurts.
There's a DOS app called display here:
I never used it so don't know if it's the one you're looking for?
Re: My. Brain. Hurts.
For years, I spent my early coding days trying to "beat" ZIP compression in a similar way. If we have some data, can we try to predict what comes and somehow send the difference between our predictions and reality.
This is precisely what predictive encoders like PPMd do, and they do beat Lempel-Ziv-style adaptive-dictionary encoders (such as zip's Deflate), in terms of compression ratios, for most general-purpose applications. They basically create a Hidden Markov Model that predicts the next symbol based on the prior stream, and then the encoder sends corrections. It's the same idea as the time-domain subtractive encoding discussed in the article. (The BWT, of bzip2 fame, does something similar, through a roundabout fashion.)
Maybe I should have applied it to photographic images back then, and I could be holding a handful of patents.
Maybe, but you would have had to do some serious research. The general idea has been around for a while. The Cutler / Bell Labs DPCM patent was filed in 1950. Of course many a patent has been issued in this area since, but those resulted from dedicated research in the area, since the basic technique of differential coding and mutual prediction for compression was well-documented.
I wonder who that could be?
"After all, what is more cynical than the broadcaster that uses a high bit rate when the HD service is introduced and then lowers it after people have bought their sets? It's deplorable behaviour but then again, there are some UK broadcasters that are no strangers to scandal."
Nope. No idea. *cough*Sky*cough*
Re: I wonder who that could be?
I was thinking of a more recent scandal. Of course OFCOM don't help when they sell off broadcast bandwidth for supposedly better economic causes, and a certain broadcaster believes it has to maintain (crappy) quality parity between a bandwidth-constrained terrestrial service and a less constrained satellite service.
Re: I wonder who that could be?
Sky can only utilise the bitrate that is available on the satellites. The 28.2E cluster of satellites has become severely congested in recent years as more channels were piled in and there was a clamour for HD channels too. Fortunately congestion is easing up as Astra 1N and 2F have stepped in and 2E and 2G are planned to launch soon too.
I think the best thing Sky (and Freesat) could do is put a very clear end of life roadmap for MPEG-2 broadcasts for channels hosted through their respective services, e.g. five years hence and all MPEG-2 completely ceases. That's plenty of time to get rid of the older boxes and it means that channels can move to AVC and save bitrate for the same picture quality, or increase picture quality, or go HD. Some channels even broadcast in SD and HD so the SD channel could get the chop.
Re: I wonder who that could be?
Broadcasters lowering bitrates is not always the issue it is made out to be.
The BBC were accused of this, but they were simply using an encoder tuned for a particular Constant Rate Factor (CRF), which attempts to encode at a particular quality level, not a particular bitrate. The encoder was replaced, and similar scenes were encoded much more efficiently with the new encoder, which reduced the required bit rate for a particular quality factor. The new stream had a lower bitrate (9Mb/s) than the old stream (17Mb/s), but (allegedly¹) the same quality.
Course, its not always like this. ITV are notorious for cramming in their channels in to any bandwidth (I know its MPEG-2, but look at ITV-4 on Freeview, the bitrate is so low you can almost see artefacts on every frame).
¹ Lots of people disagreed, there was lots of arguing, eventually the encoders were replaced again, this time with VBR encoders that used, on average, 9 Mb/s, but could be bursty in high action segments and use up to 17 Mb/s briefly.
Re: I wonder who that could be?
On my Dell D400 laptop for iPlayer BBC4 there are regular "fuzzy block" artefacts when a scene changes or there is constant movement like trees or water. I have wondered if that is due to the laptop's 2ghz Centrino cpu. My broadband is 12mbps and big Microsoft update downloads achieve 8mbps.
Re: I wonder who that could be?
No, the blockiness will be down to the bitrate used for iplayer being quite low. The 'HD' iplayer streams are around 832x468 in size, and a bitrate of around 1400 Kbit/s.
For blockiness, CPU doesn't come in to it at all, internet download speed only matters if you cannot download the file fast enough, which would present as pausing/buffering and not blockiness - although if your download speed is not sufficient, iplayer could switch you to an even lower bitrate stream, which would of course appear blocky more often.
Re: I wonder who that could be?
No - the HD iPlayer streams are 1280x720 at around 3500kb/s (not all programs have this stream). You're thinking of the highest rate SD streams. Both are rather lower than you might want though.
Fascinating, thank you.
MPEG-3, .mp3 ?
Are audio .mp3 files related to some aspect of the MPEG-3 standard? I have a vague memory or reading that they are. Lately, I've seen audio .mp4 files and am wondering how much better/different they are.
Re: MPEG-3, .mp3 ?
.mp3 is just MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3 (although it was born as a MPEG-1 stream extension).
All the work for MPEG-3 then became MPEG-4. So MPEG-3 officially never existed.
Re: MPEG-3, .mp3 ?
MP3 is actually short for "MPEG-1/2 Audio Layer 3", and a ".mp3" file describes both the codec the audio has been encoded with and the file format.
".mp4" on the other hand is simply a generic container as described by the MPEG-4 Part 14. It's a container format that can contain all kinds of data, audio data, video data, subtitles, pictures - all kinds of things, all kinds of codecs. The file suffix may be ".mp4", but there are lots of other file suffixes used for the same format (m4a, m4v, m4b...). The audio is typically AAC, or some variant like HE-AAC, but can be almost anything, including things like Apple Lossless, or even MP3.
I spent a number of years with a Video Conferencing company, so needed a lot of understanding of H.264
Whenever I was at home and watching the likes of Euro football on Channel 5, I used to habitually complain about the lack of the footbal visibility as it drifted against the crowd background.
Football in HD sez Channel 5, but the grass looked horrible too and all the time I knew it was about the bandwidth, probably due to streaming it back over the landlines at the time, across europe to UK.
I was desperate for an indicator for any transmission showing the BW used.
All the time we use IP, BW will be the real indicator of quality.
Nice article.
Security and sports cameras should NOT use excessive blurring of objects in motion to save bandwidth!!
H.264 was not required for HDTV
H.264 was NOT required to enable HDTV transmission, as almost every TV and TV station in the United States demonstrates - ATSC is MPEG2.
Would it have been nice if ATSC were H.264? Yes - I could then directly stream from my Mythbox to my tablet. But as the 54" TV in my video room demonstrates every time I tune in a local HD station, MPEG2 is perfectly capable of enabling over-the-air transmission of 1080i60 content.
I'm reminded of this description of an inertial guidance system:
The aircraft knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is the greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation.
The Inertial Guidance System uses deviations to generate error signal commands which instruct the aircraft to move from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, arriving at a position where it wasn't, or now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position where it wasn't; thus, it follows logically that the position where it was is the position where it isn't.
In the event that the position where the aircraft now is, is not the position where it wasn't, the Inertial Guidance System has acquired a variation. Variations are caused by external factors, the discussions of which are beyond the scope of this report.
A variation is the difference between where the aircraft is and where the aircraft wasn't. If the variation is considered to be a factor of significant magnitude, a correction may be applied by the use of the autopilot system. However, use of this correction requires that the aircraft now knows where it was because the variation has modified some of the information which the aircraft has, so it is sure where it isn't.
Nevertheless, the aircraft is sure where it isn't (within reason) and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it isn't, where it ought to be from where it wasn't (or vice versa) and intergrates the difference with the product of where it shouldn't be and where it was; thus obtaining the difference between its deviation and its variation, which is variable constant called "error".

It's even funnier in audio form.

MPEG is a patent cartel
Technology aside, MPEG is a patent cartel that impedes, not promotes, the progress of digital video.
Re: MPEG is a patent cartel
No it isn't. The license fees payable are only necessary if commercially distributing video, and even then they are trivial, and having the best technology disseminated by all parties is the best possible outcome.
Going back to each platform having its own proprietary-yet-massively-identical-to-h264 codec would be a fucking nightmare. Do you want a world where Sorensen Spark is still relevant?
Re: MPEG is a patent cartel

Isn't it still the codec for Adobe Flash? I know many people feel Flash is no longer relevant, but there's still a lot of it on the web, despite the efforts of His Late Jobsness et alia.

I miss the dayxs when I could flip between 3 programs simultaneosuly.
Today it takes about 5 secs to switch between 2 channels.
I wonder how frequently they send those re-synch frames in the data stream?
Re: I miss the dayxs when I could flip between 3 programs simultaneosuly.
I wonder how frequently they send those re-synch frames in the data stream?
This was talked about briefly in the article, the stream is arranged into GOP, Groups Of Pictures, a list of frames. Each frame can be of I, P, B. I-frames are the entire picture, P-frames are forward predictive and B-frames are bi-directionally predictive frames, ie they add to the previous/next frame. If you haven't decoded the previous frame, then it can only show the difference, and the video looks "corrupted".
Obviously, I-frames take the most space, P-frames, being one way predictive, take up less space, and B-frames take even less space, so for optimum quality at a given bandwidth, you want as few as possible I-frames, less P-frames and more B-frames. However, as you point out, you need as many I-frames as possible to make seeking/scrubbing not appear corrupted.
A typical GOP may have something like this structure "IBBPBBPBBPBBI". The next I-frame is 12 frames after the first I-frame, and this is the GOP length (N). The maximum distance between 2 reference frames (like an I or P frame) in the GOP is 3, which is the GOP size (M), so this GOP would be described as N=12 M=3. The GOP length is also called the Intra Period.
Anyway, all of these things are configurable by the encoder. So the answer to your question is, "as infrequently as the encoder thought they could get away with". You want enough I-frames that you can seek easily, you want as many P/B-frames as possible to keep the bitrate down. Pay your dollar, make your choice.
Re: I miss the dayxs when I could flip between 3 programs simultaneosuly.
While DVD program streams are limited by DVD specs to 12 (PAL) or 15 (NTSC) frames per GOP, the broadcast video uses transport streams with GOPs as wide as 40 frames or more. One frame in PAL lasts 0.04 sec, so 40 will mean 1.6 seconds between I-frames.
Re: I miss the dayxs when I could flip between 3 programs simultaneosuly.
Though the technical details are interesting, with modern TV's dual, triple and even quad-decoders, etc. why can it just receive the next / previous programme at all times and have the i-frames ready to go from? Teletext used to be the same kind of deal, so TV's started to cache it (and I remember my first WinTV card with cached teletext - fabulously fast).
I know you can't "guess" what the viewer is likely to view next, so you can't cache everything, but what's to stop one tuner showing the program, another getting the previous channel still (so you can flick between two channels without jumps), and the others getting your "favourite" program and/or the one that the EPG is currently looking at the schedule for.
Though I understand we can't have it all, with modern tech and throwaway DVB chips, it's still ridiculous that TV manufacturer's are pushing voice recognition and TV user "profiles", but nobody has bothered to make channel switching faster.
Re: I miss the dayxs when I could flip between 3 programs simultaneosuly.
You only need to cache from the last keyframe and you only need to one tuner per multiplex. That must be a miniscule cost on a 40" screen.
Add some smarts (do stats on most often used multiplexes or look at whereabouts the user is in the EIT) and you can probably cut the number of tuners dramatically.
Perhaps its all moot with people recording everything rather than watching live.
Re: I miss the dayxs when I could flip between 3 programs simultaneosuly.
If you want instant channel hopping it's perfectly feasible today whilst being able to simultaneously time shift + record every TV channel being broadcast at the same time. Cover all the muxes with a tuner, simples and nowadays cheap.
EyeTV on the mac has been always been decode all channels on a mux since back in the PowerPC era.
xbmc + linux is one alternative but it's less friendly to setup if you don't have a mac. Five dvb-t + one dvb-t2 tuner is all that required for the every channel in the UK. From experience it'll behaves a lot nicer on a pc/mac with an ssd for the live buffer.
Why on earth YouView didn't go this route along to reduce net bandwidth requirements I'll never know, oh hang on far too 'free' a solution for UK TV Cartel to stomach.
Re: I miss the dayxs when I could flip between 3 programs simultaneosuly.
You want enough I-frames that you can seek easily, you want as many P/B-frames as possible to keep the bitrate down. Pay your dollar, make your choice.
Of course for most folks that's pay your dollar, live with someone else's choice. It's not like the broadcasters and cable-TV companies are going to let their subscribers dictate the GOP length or composition.
Though personally I can't muster too much discontent over their choices. It's just entertainment; if I decide it's no longer a good value, I'll cancel my subscription. There's no shortage of books to be read.
I remember when Virginmedia (think they were still NTL then) first started broadcasting HD streams they were using MPEG2. I think they have now moved over to H264 with the TIVO boxes but the older V+ boxes are still using MPEG2 for HD i think.
Nothing wrong with MPEG2 if you've got the bandwidth.
" After all, what is more cynical than the broadcaster that uses a high bit rate when the HD service is introduced and then lowers it after people have bought their sets? "
Ah the BBC HD services. Once a benchmark standard, they slowly rotted away the quality to please the bean counters.
congrats h264
Only with the latest TV technology have you finally showed why you are better than xvid (MPEG-4 ASP) when done by an expert. Only took a decade.
re: patents and licencing on camera
really interesting and often missed thing is if you are using something like a canon 5dmk2 or even panasonic eng cameras like 151 and 371 (and all others i would imagine, those are just ones where i've looked the manual) and filming with h264 or avc.
you are ***NOT*** licenced to use the recording for commercial work.
unfort i can't seem to copy and paste out of the pdfs, so check 5d2 english manual pg 241 - "about mpeg-4 licencing' or the panny hpx-370 manual pg 6.

A much needed make-over is coming to a major Michiana road.
INDOT has big plans for Lincolnway East this summer.
Starting a week ago crews started working on deep patching many of the major holes on the state road. Eventually crews will repave the entire surface.
In the meantime lanes will be restricted sporadically along Lincolnway East from Capital Avenue to Ash Road, the Elkhart County line, for a few months.
Drivers are being told to expect delays.
Barbara Calvert from Osceola says, "We seen they were patching and we like oh my gosh is that all they are going to do? So that's awesome they are going to repave the whole thing."
The road is expected to be finished by Labor Day.

Been watching Family Feud since Richard Dawson left Match Game. may be the best game show host since Gene Rayburn.
Richard Dawson and Gene Rayburn had no problem with settled science, apparently:
I wonder if she ever watched with Gene Rayburn, Richard Dawson, Nipsey Russell or Charles Nelson-Reilly?
I used to love GSN. No more. I'm a Gene Rayburn, Richard Dawson kinda girl. These new ones are dumb.
This show needs some Charles Nelson Reilly, Gene Rayburn, Brett Somers, and Richard Dawson. :/
Match Game my favorite game show! U no with Gene Rayburn, Brett Somers, Richard Dawson, Betty White, and other celebrities?
it really needs Charles Nelson Reilly, Brett Somers, Richard Dawson and Gene Rayburn. But the are all dead...
Having way too much fun watching old Match Game episodes on YouTube in preparation for Edna's appearance at the Big *** Game Show(March 20th!) I want a long thin microphone like Gene Rayburn has! Love Richard Dawson, Charles Nelson Reilly, Betty White, and so many more.:) I hope I can think on the spot, my Improv classes should help!
I get up in the morning, make coffee, and instead of turning on the news or Sportscenter, I turn on Game Show Network. I watch reruns of Match Game with Gene Rayburn, Card Sharks with Jim Perry, Family Feud with Richard Dawson, and my favorite, Press Your Luck. I was 3 when Press Your Luck was on the air, and I rooted for the Whammy to come out then. At age 31, I still root for the Whammy.
Spent the evening watching the Match Game w/Gene Rayburn purely to laugh at Richard Dawson's wit
TV for 9:ooam Richard Dawson& Gene Rayburn watching people win money while having breakfast in the rainbow room.
I'll be recording Match Game as well. Loved Gene Rayburn/Richard Dawson era. Happy holidays and all the best in 2013. --Dave
I'm seriously addicted to game shows from the 70s, there's just no host like Richard Dawson and Gene Rayburn.
Does anyone remember the old game show, the "Match Game"? (Gene Rayburn was the host, along with many celebrities like Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Riley, Richard Dawson, Fannie Flagg, Betty White, etc.) It was the game show that "launched a thousand 'blanks' ". I was just sitting here watching episodes of it on YouTube. That show was SO halarious, the way game shows SHOULD be!! They just do not make them like that anymore.
Richard Dawson, Marcia Wallace, and Brett Somers get a couple of zingers in when Gene Rayburn poses the question: "Carol Lawrence said: 'Everybody thinks tha...
top 3 game show hosts of all time: 1. Richard Dawson 2. Gene Rayburn 3. Chuck Woolery
They were never married, but it's like playing Match Game without Gene Rayburn and Richard Dawson.
Gene Rayburn participates in a leg wrestling demonstration with new female contestant, Lannie Abraham, as Richard Dawson slyly watches.
Now here's a puzzler. The Players Association went on strike, no season, but I noticed they still released the new hockey game "NHL 2013". Wha??? You go to play it and it's actually footage of your favorite player practicing his golf swing at the Driving Range, maybe sitting around the living room smoking a doob, watching re-reuns of the Match Game. The late Richard Dawson was the bomb on that show, boy. For real. Charles Nelson Reilly, Brett Summers, Gene Rayburn... "They were all my friends/And they died."

Gene Rayburn question to Charles Nelson Riley: "Richard Dawson blanked Fanny Flagg in the blank"
Just found out on Saturday we lost an acting and game show legend. Richard Dawson passed away at age 79. He was known for playing Newkirk on Hogans Heroes, hosting Family Feud and was the last of the original panelists from Match Game. He is now in heaven with Charles Nelson Reily, Brett Somers and Gene Rayburn. Thank you Richard for all the many years of memories. God bless you. You will be missed dearly.

Richard Dawson, Gene Rayburn, all great hosts who could put more sexual innuendo into a single eye movement than anyone
Just read that Richard Dawson has passed away after a long battle with cancer. For those who don't who he is, he was known as the longtime host of the original Family Feud and also a longtime panelist on the original Match Game hosted by the late Gene Rayburn. Dawson was also known as Corporal Peter Newkirk on Hogan's Heroes. During his tenure on Family Feud he normally would I guess you can say flirt with the female contestants. On Match Game he would always throw out wisecracks to get a good laugh from not only the people on the show but the audience at home. His other credits include The Devil's Brigade with Bruce Willis and The Running Man with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Richard Dawson's success on Family Feud help spawn several reincarnations of the legendary game show. Richard Dawson will missed by his family, friends, colleagues and the fans that enjoyed watching him. Survey Says. R.I.P. Richard Dawson 1932-2012
First, *** Clark. Now, Richard Dawson. Losing Bert Convy and Gene Rayburn was hard enough. My childhood TV heroes are almost all gone.
Now Gene Rayburn (Match Game) and Richard Dawson can hug up in the big house
I was watching clips of Gene Rayburn's hilarious game show "Match Game" on Youtube the past several days. Very sad to learn that Richard Dawson, one of the guest celebrities died today. Thanks Richard Dawson for all the laughs. RIP.
Survey says "RIP Richard Dawson". Say hello to Gene Rayburn when you see him.
Gene Rayburn, Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Reilly, and now Richard Dawson. No one is left from The Match Game :(
RIP Richard Dawson. A true icon in daytime TV and easily the best celebrity to ever play on a game show. You can watch any Match Game from the 70's and it's still relevant today. Dawson, Gene Rayburn, Charles Nelson Reilly, & Brett Somers had chemistry that few other shows had and now they are all gone. Maybe now Dawson & Rayburn can squash their beef on the other side while making everyone laugh.

Philana Williams - Jones Director LegalSheild
"Having to relocate myself and my family to a new state on a moment's notice and being a first time home buyer was a scary situation, to say the least. After calling several real estate agents and waiting for them to return my phone calls, Lori owner and Pelzer Premier Realty was the answer to my prayers. Not only did they know how much time mattered in relocating, they kept me informed on a day-to-day basis and did an extremely wonderful job in taking the time to show me each and every step in buying a home. They really made my family and me feel at ease and as if we were their only clients. They listened and covered all my concerns in finding the right home for my family. I would definitely recommend Pelzer Premier to anyone who is looking into buying a home and who wants the best the market has to offer."

November 26, 2014
An apartment house at 34th and Harney that's been a neighborhood eyesore for years was demolished on Wednesday.
The property has been acquired by the next-door neighbor, the New Hope Life Center for Women, and the director, Kathleen McCallister, couldn't be more pleased.
She said, "We're happy because it's a condemned piece of property going away and we're going to have beautiful green space and trees in place of it."
Along with the green space, this will also provide much-needed parking.

Humans often relax by communing with nature: hiking through mountains, paddling down rivers, and eating berries indiscriminately. Get your fill of nature with this Groupon.
$40 for $80 Worth of River-Rafting Trips
During the Sauk and Suiattle River whitewater-rafting trips ($79 for a half day; $129 for a full day), adventurers brave Class III rapids for four to five hours, with a break at the White Chuck Boat Launch. While on the water, they soak in views of monolithic boulders and old-growth forests, whose trees are known for sprouting long gray beards.
See the website for a full listing of trips and kayak instruction.
Triad River Tours
Growing up in Idaho, Luke E. Baugh was never far from adventure. His early experiences in the state's rugged backcountry were so formative that, rather than settling down when he got older, he set out to explore the natural landscape of the entire United States. Luke spent years on the nation's most challenging rivers, mastering the art and safety of rafting as he learned to maneuver through their harrowing rapids. But that wasn't enough. Luke had to share the beauty he'd experienced with others.
At Triad River Tours, Luke and his team know that the number-one reason people don't get to enjoy the outdoors is fear, which is why they make it their mission to ease as many of their customers' worries as possible. Every lead rafting guide is a professional outdoorsman who undergoes and graduates from Swiftwater Rescue training. Every tour follows meticulous safety protocols, including the use of a safety kayaker to communicate upcoming river conditions and funny-looking pebbles. And even before they offer a tour, the team spends up to six months scouting, preparing, and analyzing the specific route to ensure that every variable has been accounted for. This is all so that everyone, from the timid to the adventurous, can enjoy the beauty of the water and the inspiration of the outdoors. The result is a range of exhilarating tours for every interest, from the tranquility of romantic dinner tours to the adrenaline boost of Sauk River's Class III rapids.
Tips from Groupon Customers
"Had a great time, wonderful guides."
"It was awesome!"
"Guides were awesome! Dinner was great too!"

text: 4/20 Day: Marijuana on California's Other Religious Holiday Print article Send a Tip by Joel B. Pollak 20 Apr 2014 post a comment Easter Sunday 2014 coincides with the 20th of April--otherwise known as 4/20 Day, for 420, a number that has come to symbolize marijuana smoking for the pot subculture. Legends abound as to the origins of the symbol, but Ryan Grim of the Huffington Post traced it back in 2009 to a group of friends from San Rafael in Marin County, CA--not unlike President Barack Obama's "Choom Gang" in Honolulu--who invented the number. Grim wrote that "a group of five San Rafael High School friends known as the Waldos--by virtue of their chosen hang-out spot, a wall outside the school--coined the term in 1971." Other theories hold that local police used the number as a code for "Marijuana Smoking in Progress"--much as the number "419," from the Nigerian criminal code, symbolizes familiar e-mail scams asking for bank account numbers in return for a share of foreign loot. Whatever the origin, April 20 has become an international day of protest against laws banning or restricting the use of marijuana, as well as a day to celebrate the subculture that surrounds the weed. In California, the day is something of a holy ritual for thousands of pot enthusiasts, both habitual and casual. Since 4/20 coincides with Easter this year, some churches are embracing the day's symbolism to reach out to congregants, the AP notes. Pastor Justice Coleman told the AP that his church in the hipster haven of Highland Park, Los Angeles, would "put together a talk or a program that wouldn't celebrate smoking weed, but would celebrate the idea that there's so much more to life." There is outreach in the other direction, too: some medical marijuana shops have run Easter-themed specials, including "plastic eggs stuffed with pot-infused chocolate truffles," the AP reports. For many marijuana enthusiasts, however, 4/20 is just 420 as usual. The back pages of the L.A. Weekly are filled with advertisements from pot shops to mark the "holiday": an ad from the Figueroa Patients Association for a "420 Smokeout" offers "grams starting @$5" and a "happy hour" starting at 4:20 p.m. Others offer cheap medical consultations for medical marijuana cards, free massages for customers, and discounts to college students and to members of the U.S. armed forces (though the latter are barred from using drugs, even legally). Aside from the recreational side of 4/20, there is a political side as well, as activists use the day to push for the full legalization of marijuana. Voters in Colorado and Washington recently legalized the drug for recreational use, and while a similar measure failed in California in 2010, recent polls suggest support is gaining strength. The marijuana industry is suddenly a booming business, too. A recent Canadian law that legalized the growth of medical marijuana by private companies has triggered a sudden rush of new investment, the Wall Street Journal reports this weekend, and the industry in the U.S. could be worth $2.5 billion by the end of 2014. Others focus on distribution and advertising, such as weedmaps.com, which also pushes for greater legalization. Yet for many observing 4/20 Day, this Easter Sunday is just another day to enjoy getting high in the sunshine with friends. The day also coincides with the final, sacred two days of the Jewish holiday of Passover, starting at sundown. Jewish law discourages marijuana use, but unlike the Sabbath, when fire may not be used, smoking is tolerated on weekday festivals. Undoubtedly, some of the faithful will be "passing over" more than the matzah.

We were expecting today to be a busy day, filled with last-minute Galaxy S4 leaks and then wrapping up with the big announcement, but little did we imagine what was to come from China.
Who's up for a new round of Samsung Galaxy S4-related rumors? Well, who isn't? Especially that there are so many mysteries left to be revealed with only a little over 24 hours to go until the official announcement.
A new AnTuTu benchmark leak reveals Galaxy S4 specs and features well ahead of its launch, although these details are yet to be confirmed by Samsung.
The Clover Trail+ equipped Lenovo K900 has made an appearance at MWC, and we were curious to see how Intel's dual-core chip is doing in the benchmarks.
The new Tegra 4 system-on-a-chip has been put through its paces in a suite of benchmark applications, and the results are nothing short of amazing.
What, did you really thought that, just because it was the weekend, Samsung's Galaxy S4 was going to take a break from its rumor bonanza?
With Sony's Xperia Z making the most unexpected waves and the HTC M7 and Samsung Galaxy S4 rumors gaining traction, the Oppo Find 5 pretty much fell off our radar.
Hey Android users, are you ready for a weekend wild rumor? And we did have quite a few Android rumors lately related either to future Nexus devices or to the upcoming Galaxy S4.

Plant something new.
Radishes, beets and peppers will be pretty much the same old stand-bys; some of the beans, tomatoes, onions, and squash will be recent developments. In addition, many back-yard and vacant-lot gardens will have a vegetable or two not previously planted, such as endive, broccoli broccoli (brŏk`əlē) [Ital.,=sprouts], variety of cabbage grown for the edible immature flower panicles. It is the same variety (Brassica oleracea botrytis) as the cauliflower and is similarly cultivated. and kohlrabi kohlrabi (kōl`rä`bē) [Ger. partly from Ital.,=turnip cabbage], plant (Brassica caulorapa, sometimes classified as var. caulorapa .
New vegetable varieties for your garden are constantly being developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, state research stations and commercial seedsmen. Sometimes these are noteworthy because of their overall high quality or high productivity--these you will want to try. Sometimes they are tailor-made to lick lick

2. a mixture of salt plus other macro-elements, especially phosphorus, trace elements, vitamins and other feed additives, fed loosely in a box some particular disease, or to grow specially well in certain climates or in certain soils--consider local conditions before planting these.
Tomatoes will be grown in almost every garden, be it large or small, in every state of the union. A number of good wilt-resistant varieties have been introduced within the past several years.
Snap beans are among the most profitable crops that can be grown in the small garden, being generally quite productive at one or more seasons of the year.
Sprouting broccoli, a comparatively new crop to American home gardens, is relatively easy to grow except during the hot summer months in the warmer parts of the country.
Endive is good as a fall salad plant for areas too warm for summer sowing of lettuce lettuce, annual garden plant (Lactuca sativa and varieties) of the family Asteraceae (aster family), probably native to the East Indies or Asia Minor, possibly as a derivative of the widespread weed called wild lettuce (L. scariola).

Michael Fassbender Gossip
Michael Fassbender gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Tom Hardy wants some video game action, too
A few months ago it came out that Michael Fassbender had signed on to produce and star in an adaptation of the video game Assassin's Creed. I fretted, because video game movies, historically, don't work and I don't want to see Fassbender suffer the same fate as Jake Gyllenhaal and Prince of Persia. Full Story
Fassbender fangirls
Last week, I wrote this article about Michael Fassbender. It was offensive to some: the Fassbender fangirls. And one of them, she let me know: Hi Lainey, Your reading comprehension skills are sub par at best if you really think Fassbender yelled at the waiter in that article. Full Story
Portman enhances Fassbender?
If you've been reading my blog the last year or so, you'll know that I've been off Michael Fassbender for a while now. That messy situation with the ex-girlfriend is most of it, and then there was the time he yelled at a waiter Full Story
The Gos and The Fassbender together at last
Ryan Gosling was already in Austin shooting Terrence Malick's next movie, as yet untitled, and now Michael Fassbender has joined the cast at the last minute, which means the The Gos and The Fassbender are in a movie together—and yes, they have scenes together Full Story
Fassbender & Dormer
Michael Fassbender apparently had the day off from shooting The Counselor in Alicante, Spain today. He was photographed out for a walk with a friend. Since many of you are still really into him, those are for you. And these are for me -- Natalie Dormer unrecognisable as a blonde and not in costume as Anne Boleyn or half naked as Margaery Tyrell. Full Story
Fassbender Filler
Wenn, INF
This is a filler post while I work on the next article (Tom Cruise) seeing as so many of you are into Michael Fassbender. (Really? Still?) He's in London shooting The Counselor. These shots were taken today. Full Story
Michael Fassbender, comedy guy?
After a huge 2011 and a hot start to 2012, Michael Fassbender is on a down beat, with nothing coming out for months and nothing to do but work and I don't know…throw rocks at fish, or whatever he does for fun. (And please don't email me to explain what The Fassbender gets up to on his down time—I like not knowing. Full Story
Michael Fassbender rides with Nicole...and Natalie
Fresh photos of Michael Fassbender today in London on his bike with girlfriend Nicole Beharie. Fassbender's been working on Ridley Scott's The Counselor. It was reported yesterday that he may also sign on to Jane Got A Gun with Natalie Portman who is also producing. Jane Got A Gun is a western. Full Story
Michael Fassbender's well cut suit
Michael Fassbender is shooting The Counselor in London. He was photographed today looking very smart on set in a beautifully cut suit. Believe it or not, I didn't initially see what you no doubt saw immediately. It's just... my eye goes elsewhere. To the shoulders, to the waist, to how the pants hang at the bottom. Full Story
Michael Fassbender risks the video game curse
Video game movies scare me. Historically, they're not successful. There have been a few modest wins here and there, but mostly they're bad bets, costing way too much and earning little, and not one has ever equaled the kind of critical acclaim their comic book-based cousins are capable of achieving. Full Story
Prometheus has landed
Cornball. Can't believe I wrote that. Moving on. Easily one of the most anticipated movies of the year, I know a lot of you have been all over Ridley Scott's Prometheus. I haven't been that anxious for it, which is weird, because the cast is pretty much a bunch of people I wholeheartedly support. Full Story
Charlize Theron: Blonde & Blue
Someone must have had a good night's sleep. How old is Jackson? Do they get through the night without waking up at that age? Because Charlize Theron looked super fresh tonight in London at the Prometheus premiere. I don't love the sparkly dress on its own. But clothing tends to become something different when she wears it. Full Story
Michael Fassbender is not Tom Cruise
The Tom Cruise Playboy article is insightful in its lack of insight. Michael Fassbender just doesn't have that level of control yet. He's not a machine. Michael Fassbender, rather, right now at least, seems to be all instinct and impulse. When he's interviewed then, it's more than just a fluff piece. Full Story
P Diddy, Alex Rodriguez, Justin Timberlake, Jared Leto...We've established that Cameron Diaz has a type right? She loves assholes; they break her heart. Then Gwyneth Paltrow has to put it back together. Who's next?Well, Cam's about to get to work on a movie called The Counselor starring Michael Fassbender. Full Story

An accomplished systems engineer, Washington researches "smart" materials that respond to temperature changes, stretching and other stimuli, and which can be used for everything from heating car seats to harvesting energy from computers to recharge batteries.
"If you pull on them, press them or otherwise strain them, they actually will produce electricity," he explains. "So any entity that's vibrating or moving, I can extract energy from it and then use that for a very useful purpose."

Great location, nice rooms, and friendly staff. We were fortunate to stay in an executive sweet and had a great view of the water fountains and ice rink below. Very nice! I found the rooms to be a bit noisy, but it could have just been that the neighboring guests were more to blame. I could definitely hear them in the hall late into the night, and was awakened again by the sound of the club level breakfast on the floor above. Speaking of the club level breakfast, I found it to be adequate but not spectacular and it needed to be maintained and stocked. Seating was very limited as well.
A small gift shop for snacks, souvenirs, or forgotten travel essentials would be a nice addition.
By far the best feature was the Bigg Blue Martini. Great atmosphere and energy and the live music was a definite bonus!

KENNER, La. (AP) - A 10-year-old has been arrested for allegedly shooting a 7-year-old as they played video games.
Kenner Police Chief Steve Caraway said the older child was arrested Thursday on charges of negligent injury and illegal possession of a handgun and later released into his parents' custody.
The shooting happened Tuesday evening. Caraway said as the children played, the 10-year-old pulled the gun and the weapon discharged. A bullet struck the younger child in the thigh. Caraway said the younger child was treated at an area hospital and released.
The 10-year-old fled the house and discarded the weapon, which police have not yet recovered, Caraway said. Under questioning by police, Caraway said the child was not cooperative, denied involvement and would not say how he got the weapon. However, he tested positive for gunshot residue, investigators said.
Caraway said it's not the first time the 10-year-old has been in police custody. He said the boy was arrested for shooting three others with a pellet gun in April.

text: Jihadist Murderer of British Soldier Inspired by American Islamist Preacher Print article Send a Tip by William Bigelow 30 Dec 2013 post a comment Michael Adebowale, one of the two Muslim jihadists who murdered 25-year-old British Fusilier Lee Rigby, 25, revealed in a letter written the day after the sentencing verdict that he was inspired by the radical sermons of Khalid Yasin. Yasin killed Rigby by striking him down with a car and then carving him to death with a meat cleaver, and he has also lauded beating women and killing gays. Adebowale complained in the letter that some Muslims had condemned the killing. According to the Daily Mirror, Adebowale claimed he converted to Islam in 2009 after investigating it and listening to Yasin. He wrote: I have always been a fairly spiritual person in terms of belief in the unseen, and I suppose because most of my friends at that time were Muslims. So the combination of the two factors caused me to start reading up and learning more about Islam. The more I learned the more interested I became, which led to me listening to a lecture by Sheikh Khalid Yasin - you may have heard of him, he is based in the U.S. The title of this lecture is called "What is the Purpose of Life?" After hearing this I had to conclude that the purpose of life is to acknowledge and worship the creator. Adebowale added in the letter, "Even though I received letters from my family they aren't Muslim so unfortunately I never get that sort of 'click' with them." Yasin, 67, was a gang member from New York City and converted to Islam as a teenager. Besides his hatred of women and gays, he has also claimed that the U.S. created the AIDS virus to oppress the third world, and that Muslims should eschew universities because intellectual study is anti-Islamic. Adebowale's mother Juliet Obasuyi lamented when interviewed by the Daily Mail this month: "I lost my son. He's not dead, he's still alive, but I lost him to the Jihad people."
