Gallery: What movies look like before visual effects are applied
Thanks to the convincing magic of green and blue screens, most movies with a Hollywood budget no longer need to film on location or even build real sets anymore. Before VFX is a new tumblr dedicated to revealing what blockbuster movies look like before visual effects are applied, and it's pretty awesome.
We viewers might not bat an eye when we watch a finished movie, but for actors and actresses, learning how to act with all the digital fakery around them almost certainly makes their jobs more difficult. Imagine how much harder you have to pretend to stare at, say, a green ball that'll be an alien's head in the final cut, as opposed to an actual alien head prop.
It's incredibly fascinating to see how so much of a movie is done with green screen. Even objects that you wouldn't expect to be green screened are. Collected below are some of our favorites, but there's tons more at Before VFX's website.

The Key to Mastering Slots
October 1st, 2011 | Published in slots
If you like to play slots, you can turn this hobby into something which is very lucrative. Every casino prides itself on its range of slot machines and if this is something in which you have aptitude it can translate into revenue for you. If you aren't yet at this point, it is something worth aspiring as how profitable it can be.
Whether you are playing video slots or old-school slots, the key to success is to have patience and discipline. You don't want to play at a machine too long or too short. You need to sense when a slots machine has turned cold and when it is about to go cold. This timing can mean you can swoop when the jackpots are about to go off. That is the key as if you want to win slots you want to do it when the jackpot is going off.
Casinos have hundreds of different types of slot machines and so choice is a big part of it. First thing you need to decide is what ante you are going to play. You can play for as little as a penny and then there are machines where credits are at least a couple of dollars. If you are playing the maximum amount of lines this could be at least one hundred dollars a spin. It's all relative as the more the wager, the more you will win.
The key of course is being the ability to win. Most likely you will want to play slots where the jackpots are big. Many video slots have big jackpots and you want to be around when they look like they are going to be won. Timing is everything when it comes to life and slots is no exception.
You also have to choose the game style you play. There are slots that have bonus rounds where the bonus round is a whole backstory. Or do you prefer the simpler, more basic games where it's just about the matching of the reels and nothing else? Ultimately there is no right or wrong when it comes to this and everything is dictated to by personal preference.
People often like to stick to their favorite type of slots and stay away from anything new and unfamiliar. Don't be afraid to experiment and try new types of video slots. You will be surprised by how many new things you like. You need to get out of your comfort zone for this to happen and there may be things you don't like but you aren't going to know this until you give them a try.
You can also find a number of different slots types online. Hundreds of sites are around to try and appeal to the slots players out there. Again some people prefer slots in a casino to slots online and vice versa and there is no right or wrong here. As long as you are having fun and making some money all is good.

"I made the cupcakes using Duncan Hines cake mix and frosted them with buttercream frosting, some of which was dyed. To create the Indian corn and regular corn, I used an assortment of Jelly Belly beans. The \'carrots\' and \'peas\' are orange- and lime-flavored Tootsie Rolls. To create the turkey, I melted square caramels and rolled them out, shaping the drumsticks around pretzel sticks, and decorated the \'platter\' with Runts. The 'mashed potatoes' are buttercream icing with caramel sauce and a melted piece of banana-flavored taffy." —Lisa Zeigler, Cambridge, Maryland

I'm a multi-protocol kind of guy. What does that mean? Basically, it means that I use more than just a web browser. Typically, I have multiple Internet clients running at any given time—a browser (typically Camino, but sometimes Safari), an RSS reader (NetNewsWire), an IM client (Adium), Cocoalicious (for managing del.icio.us bookmarks), an IRC client (Colloquy), and an e-mail client. In each of these areas, there are high-quality applications available to choose from. For example, if I didn't like Camino or Safari, I could always switch to Opera or Firefox; if I didn't like NetNewsWire, I could switch to NewsFire, Shrook, or Vienna. I have options.
I also like to try to follow a small number of Usenet newsgroups. Unfortunately, this is one area where Mac OS X doesn't have a good set of high-quality applications. And that really stinks.
There's only one commercial Usenet client of which I am aware, and that's Unison by Panic. It's a decent application, but lacks offline support and the ability to connect to multiple servers simultaneously. In addition, the UI is a bit awkward to me, and I could really use some better searching functionality. I've been using Unison for a while and I'd love to see a major upgrade to the application…so Panic guys, what do you say?
I thought that Nemo was going to be a real contender, but it crashes on a regular basis, and has a number of bugs that make it pretty much unusable. It's a tremendous start, though, and I hope that the developer continues to refine the application. Once some of these bugs have been squashed, I will definitely consider purchasing the application, but as it is I'm not going to pay for beta software that is truly beta quality. There are a few unfinished open source efforts, like Xnntp, but those also are incomplete beta-quality products.
So are there any other good, high-quality NNTP/Usenet clients out there that I'm just missing? Or is this all there is?

I like the MacSOUP offline reader which I've been using for ages. Long ago it took a bit of getting used to, mainly the way you read – you go through and mark (with the return key) the articles you're interested in, then hit the space bar to go through them – but over time it's become second nature. MacSOUP has a great graphical thread map too, and good support for archiving articles. It doesn't support binaries though – I don't care, maybe you will. To connect to multiple servers you'll need to use multiple MacSOUP "documents".
Also worth checking out: Hogwasher which has multiple server and binary support; MT-NewsWatcher which is free and has multiple server/binary support too, but is online only.
I've looked as well and concluded that Unison is by far the best NNTP reader on the Mac. I don't mind the interface (in fact, I mostly like it) and don't care about offline archiving of groups. I do wish I could open groups from multiple servers simultaneously, though.
Let me know if you find an alternative.
I was really excited when unison first came out a few years back. But, I was disappointed by the performance of the app compared to mt-newswatcher.
Since then I've been using pan exclusively for newsgroup reading. It's awesome: flexible layout views, fast (not hindered by quartz), available for all *nix, and it's free.

The Carrie Diaries Review: Fake It Till You Make Itby Leigh Raines at . Comments
Before there was sex, before there was the city, there was just me: Carrie, Carrie Bradshaw.
I have to say that I love the new introduction to this! This week's episode of The Carrie Diaries, "Lie With Me," also reminded us just what it means to walk that thin line of knowing what's right and what's wrong when you're a teenager.
Well, truthfully, this is something most people struggle with their whole lives, yet start to learn about as adolescents when they begin to experience a little freedom.
At the end of The Carries Diaries pilot, Carrie got grounded for breaking curfew. With one week to go on her punishment, Carrie started to experience a little cabin fever. Especially when it came to her hot new crush, Sebastian Kydd. As if it's not bad enough that she's missing out on solo time with Sebastian, the school harlot Donna LaDonna (seriously, who names their kid that) was gunning for Sebastian too. And who could blame her? Have you seen that smile?
Donna seems like a girl who is all talk and not so much action. Sure, she smokes joints at the country club and claims to have lost her virginity there on a bench, but dare I say she's pulling Sebastian's leg? She does have a carefully crafted reputation, but she's likely just another high school virgin, kinda nervous and trying to figure it out. Then again, Donna is not our heroine, Carrie is.
Rookie mistake number-one when lying to your parents to meet up with a boy is pissing off your alibi. I said above that Carrie is our heroine but I have a soft spot for little sisters everywhere who have been screwed over by their big sisters when it finally seemed like they were bonding. Dorrit, I feel you girl. At least Carrie realized her mistake and made up for it in the end.
I noticed that the only things Carrie referred to as honest and true were the city and her friends. That was an interesting foreshadow. At least by the end of the episode Carrie was learning to balance out her lies and fibs. The thing that will make it so much harder about her father not wanting her to see Sebastian is that he's not outright forbidding her, he's just telling her that he's disappointed and trusted her more than to sneak around with a guy like that.
Who doesn't remember being a teenager and feeling 10 times worse when your parents told you they were disappointed in you and expected better, but weren't going to bother punishing you? It's like you know you violated their trust and you just felt like a complete jackass and you couldn't even be mad because they weren't grounding you! Ah, to be young. My favorite was Carrie's line of utter disbelief when she momentarily thought she wasn't allowed to date.
You're telling me I can't date? Because that's going to be a problem. | permalink
If Tom Bradshaw never allowed Carrie to date, think of all the future brilliance that would never have happened? I don't even want to imagine a world where Carrie never dated enough to have her own column! Speaking of work, I wish she would just tell Larissa the truth. Maybe she could end up with a internship at Interview magazine instead?
As for the other relationships on the show, I'm surprised Walt and Maggie broke up this early. Producer/writer Amy B. Harris did set up that Walt and Maggie would be going through a struggle this season, so maybe we'll see some back and forth as Walt struggles to come to terms with his sexual identity?
My vote on The Carrie Diaries is so far so good. And I have to just add how much I miss when landlines were all the rage in high school. You remember, right? When people actually conversed instead of sending "world alerts?" (Thank you Girls for that phrase)
What did you think of this week's episode? Hit the comments and don't forget we have a The Carrie Diaries music section now!
Leigh Raines is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow her on Twitter.Tags: Reviews, The Carrie Diaries
I love this show! I think the actress who plays Carrie does such a great job with that character. It must be difficult to replicate someone's character but try to act like a younger version. She has Carrie's voice and mannerisms down. I'm impressed! Can't wait for each episode!!!!
Check out our episode of Cosmopolitan Magazine's Sexy Vs Skanky all about Sex and the City! http://youtu.be/6ab3wy5emfg
@Leanne. I think its her voice. She has a hint of nasal or something.
Loved the episode. I find this series very refreshing. It has a Freaks and Geeks quality to it and it shows promise. There haven't been too many halfway decent teen coming of age shows done well since TGIF Boy Meets World. I feel like this is one of the better ones. There is something extremely charming about its simplicity. I love the relationship between Carrie and her dad. Its one of my favorite things about this. Walt has my heart, such a sweet guy and watching him struggle is emotional and interesting. His breakup scene with Maggie was so bittersweet. Heartwrenching for both of them. You could sense the confusion but the love too and the scene in the end with all of the girls just made me smile.
Missed Opportunity It really needs to be reformatted. The V.O's are dragging the show to a stop. I'm done. This cast deserves better. .
This week Girls on Film - Duran Duran
Our House - Madness Anyone else?
i dont know why but the actress who plays carrie reminds me of lindsey lohan

Todd rejoined Bain Capital Ventures in 2012 after a two plus year sojourn in Silicon Valley as a Partner co-leading Accel Partners' newly created Growth Fund. Todd spends his time focused on growth-stage investments in SaaS, financial technology and information-based businesses. He is animated by the compelling opportunities resulting from the confluence of great management teams and the new, low-friction, highly-scalable business models that the web and mobile devices now enable.
Prior to his time at Accel, Todd previously spent almost five years at BCV helping to build and grow the firm's growth equity effort. Prior to BCV, Todd spent much of his early career at Summit Partners as both an Associate and then later as a Vice President. He also held business development roles at two private companies including Synapse Group – the predecessor company to Priceline.com, which was later sold to Time Inc. for $500 million.
Todd received his MBA, with Honors, from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and his AB, cum laude, in English from Dartmouth College where he spent four months studying at the Budapest Institute of Economics in the period immediately following the fall of the Berlin Wall. In addition, while pulling up the rear on the freshman heavyweight crew team, he was a member of the group that broke the world record for the continuous indoor rowing of one million meters – a feat that required a 36-hour, round-the-clock effort and may have contributed to the C he got on his mid-term Spanish exam. Todd is enthralled by great writing and reads as much modern fiction as his too frequent time on planes permits while his passion for Boston sports teams borders on the unhealthy – a blessing (or curse) he has passed on to his two young children.

Diner Stiffs Server, Leaves Note Blaming Taxes and Obama
Here's a possibly fake and, if not, totally messed up card that a diner supposedly left for his or her server instead of a tip. According to Reddit user nickshambo, this card was left for a friend of his and adds, "I'd be livid." But before anyone goes blaming this diner for being a cheapskate, please consider that the US government is truly to blame. As the card explains, "As a direct result of Proposition 30 and President Obama's insistence that I pay "MY FAIR SHARE IN TAXES," I find that I must cut back on discretionary spending and gratuities. I wish it didn't have to be this way for both of us."
So what is Proposition 30? Well, according to Investopedia, it was a measure passed in California back in November that raises taxes on wealthier individuals as well as raises the sales tax "by a quarter of a cent ($0.025) for a four-year period" in an effort to fund schools. So maybe that sales tax really hit hard on this particular restaurant's check, or perhaps the diner in question is a wealthy American who is now paying more in taxes.
[ more ]
Heh. I feel bad for the waitress…BUT…betya there is a 9 out of 10 chance she or he voted for Obama.
» 17 Comments
I agree. I'll bet the employee parking lot sports a lot of 0bama 2012 bumper stickers.
But here's the real hit and it's a double-whammy. Their pay went down because 0bama raised their taxes even though he said he was going to tax "the rich" which is why they voted for him. They won't understand that irony either.+5
I'm going to bet they have no idea what those words mean.+5
If this is a true photo of the note, it's interesting that the consumer had them printed up.+1
You can buy business cards and print them on your computer.
Servers do a job I could not do unless management would approve of nasty customers wearing their meals. So I tip if the service is good, period.+1
I may start dropping a few political comments to see which way my server leans. Then I could tip (or not) accordingly.+3
If I see a tax on my tab related to Obamacare, I just may do almost the same. The exception being that I usually tip middle of the road 15%, so my card would read; "I normally tip 15% but since I was charged $2.75 for YOUR healthcare on a $50 tab, your tip was reduced to $4.75."+3
Stiffing the waiter just because of the tax is a piss poor excuse. I don't like paying the additional sales tax and I will cut back my spending in other areas just so I don't have to pay more. We purchased a lot of things we needed prior to 1/1/2013 to avoid paying more in taxes. It sucks and I think the welfare crowd will be feeling the pinch real quick.+2
That is infinite degrees of STUPID. Flippin' beyond STUPID. The damn waiters and waitresses work FOR tips – it's how they are compensated.
You don't take money out of their pockets just to keep more in yours and hold yourself up as some bastion victim of forced immorality.
Jesus H Christ – I've seen stupid at various levels but this takes the cake.
If you want to make that point then leave them the tip you would normally leave, and fudge it with a note that says "I would have left you another $5 bucks but Obama….. (fill in the rest)..
What's next? Well, sorry I can't afford to pay the lawn service $50/month so I'll just give him a note and $45 instead. Seriously?
Same degree of stupid logic.
(((stepping down now, sorry )))+3
"Heh. I feel bad for the waitress…BUT…betya there is a 9 out of 10 chance she or he voted for Obama."
No "heh" from this household.
My kids are both college grads who always vote R but, because of Obama, can only get jobs waiting tables. (And they are thankful to have jobs!)
As an aside to the jerk that supposedly left this note, may I educate all of the readers on what servers have to endure.
They get paid $2.13 per hour by the restaurant. Everything else is earned in tips. They have to share these tips with the host(ess), bartender, busser, etc.
They get NO benefits (insurance), nor any opportunity to
purchase insurance through the company.
Their company reports 100% of their tips for tax purposes. The $2.13 per hour does not cover their tax liability; therefore, they OWE taxes to the government every year.
Patrons fault the server if the hostess is bad, the kitchen didn't prepare the food properly, etc.
Standard tipping rates are 20% but restaurants will only add 18% to large parties.
A 15% rate is an insult.
Just remember, you don't feel like cooking/cleaning so you go to a restaurant. What is your server sacrificing for your experience?
Don't want to cook Thanksgiving dinner? Think about the person waiting on you that can't have a holiday with their family in order to make your day pleasurable.
New Year's Eve? Ever think these people have a special someone they would want to spend the evening with?
The "Big Game" (whatever sport) and you go to the sports bar to interact with friends and possibly celebrate. Ever think that your server would like to do the same but rent is due?
Sorry for the rant (NOT) but I'm sick and tired of the attitude prevalent in society that servers are lower citizens and not worthy of respect, gratitude and TIPS!!!!!+5
JCL, I've worked on tips before, carrying not one but two golf bags for an entire 18 holes, some days I'd go 36. I feel the work done needs to commensurate with the tip earned. I'm not too much of a PITA. Get me a drink, take my order, bring it to the table… I burned more calories for a $1 tip as a valet than any of these table waiting activities and why base it off my $70 tab? I could have just as easily eaten by myself for $35, the wait staff works the same amount and I get off 50% cheaper.
Point is, I'm a 10-15% tipper and I think that's plenty… It's not my fault the boss gets $10/drink and $50/plate, the poor waitress did no more work than the one at Chilis last week for a $9 hamburger and a $3 beer.+3
@old_oaks — shame on you.
Today's world is much different than when you were working for tips.
You got a kid working as a server? Do you understand what a 10% tip is on a $25 check? $2.50 that has to be shared with a host/busser/bartender. So now my kid gets $1.25 (maybe) while you've had a pleasant dining experience. Add that to her $2.13 and she now gets $3.35 an hour. And you think she can pay her bills on $3.35 an hour????
To be clear, I wasn't saying you should print up something like this and hand it out. IMHO, servers are punished enough just by doing that job. I just meant this guy is probably too tight to pay to have them printed up.+1
@Merry Poppet — please know that my rage is not against you.+1
That something a prog would do, demand you to pay your fare share and stiff the working stiff.
The sad thing is people will cut down on spending by not going out period, no more "dinners and a movie" no more jobs let alone a tip. Sad days!+2
"Bind not the mouths of the kine that tread the grain."
If you can't have your usual entree and drinks and tip the server properly, maybe you ought to throttle back on your order so you can tip properly. That is, make the restaurant owner take the hit instead of the server.
Having someone pissed off at you that handles your food out of your sight is not a good thing.+2
I can feel it JCL, that's why you don't work in places where you only get one table an hour.
Do 8-12 in an hour and even with shitty tips you're making $15-$20/hour. Which is good money for low skill.
I may be a cheap skate, but tossing a plate on my table doesn't automatically guarantee 20% of what I'm eating.
Now tell me I'm cheap because I only want to give my shitty government 15% instead of 20%?0
My reasoning is that if I can afford to eat out, I can afford to tip generously.+2

Poor Piggy's BBQ, Wilmington, NC
My friend Samantha has been singing the praises of Poor Piggy's BBQ truck for some time now and today was the day for a visit. It was boy's day and I went with my grandson and my son-in-law for lunch.
Mike got the brisket sandwich combo with slaw, baked beans and fries. My grandson had the BBQ sandwich and I ordered the BBQ plate (BBQ, slaw and fries). Total came to $24.00. I tasted Mike's and it was very good. Mine was probably some of the best BBQ I've had anywhere. Just a hint of smoke flavor, but not overpowering.
I highly recommend that you stop by and pay them a visit.

Great New Year's Experience
- on OpenTable
Great food - timing, temperature, flavor, presentation were all top notch
Comfortable ambiance - vibrant, well lit, can easily hold conversation with others in your party but can't hear next table
Value - on the higher side of cost but in comparison to rivals still great value.
The Best of the West
- on OpenTable
"Our first server was sweet and lovely but since the back room wasn't busy, after she took our drink orders, she had to move to the main dining room and we had Agustin as our server. Agustin was professional, friendly, and checked on us throughout the meal. I had ordered the New York Strip with Prawns and felt the cut was too marbled and he offered to change out the steak for me to a Filet Mignon immediately. The new steak was brought to our table in less than 5 minutes, sizzling hot and perfectly cooked. The birthday boy ordered a Peppercorn New York Strip and LOVED his entree. He told me this is the best birthday meal he's ever had and that made me so happy."
"Good Place For Lunch" | Birk's Restaurant Reviews

"...They provided us with bread and all I can say it was really fresh, warm, and soft we finished like 2 baskets of them. We ordered appetizers of calamari and it tasted really fresh and good probably the best I had. I ordered the steak and my grandma also ordered a steak and my cousin ordered the salmon. Everything looked good cooked to perfection on how you want it the steak was really good and juicy..."

ReflectionASSUMPTION DAZE
August 15, 2007
We saw the bridge
wrench apart, sink into
the great river of our lives;
splitting the banks of the water binding north and south,
work and home
into a maze of stray streets,
a labyrinth of confusion.
That bridge must have been a woman
holding together threads of ordinary life
wrought apart by mystery,
desperately needed, but taken for granted
larger than life, speaking to the whole planet
of our wrenched lives,
our separateness.
Now in summer abundance
in a daze of loss
we seek the bridge again.
And those of us who remember,
come to celebrate the woman
who bridged God and humankind
by saying "Yes", by birthing.
She witnessed death for all,
like the medical assistant still in her scrubs
who offered water, solace on the bridge.
But her body, strangely assumed straight to heaven
defied death.
Somehow, she is the bridge now.

The Cherifer Generation
Cherifer, a very popular food supplement in the Philippines that helps aid in increasing one's height. Now if this were only available during my youth, instead of looking eye to eye with most people, I would be towering over them.
A lot had been invested by my father in medicines that he hoped would increase his boy's heights. The most that I could remember was growth stimulants that had to be delivered via a sharp prick in one's gluteus maximus. Sadly none of them ever got us over 6 ft. The only one in our family who nearly touched 6 ft was the eldest, missed it by an inch or so.
Well what does this have to do with this post? To show you how a typical Filipino family like us, living in a basketball crazy nation, is permanently obsessed with increasing the average height of one's family members.
Cherifer gained popularity in the early 21st century here in the Philippines. I received a lot of info via word of mouth and even from our family pediatrician on the effectiveness of this food supplement to increasing one's child's height. One coming personally from my sister of which I can see the effect on my nieces. Because one grew up on cherifer while the other didn't. The one who grew up on cherifer is already beating her elder sister, considering that the elder had a 3 year head start on the youngest.
The main ingredients of Cherifer are: Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF), Taurine and Zinc. I can't help but to speak volumes of the wonders of the miracle ingredient known as Chlorella Growth Factor. The source of CGF is the Chlorella Algae, by which it is derived via a hot water extract.
CGF promotes faster than normal growth without adverse side effects, and in adults, it appears to enhance RNA/DNA functions responsible for production of proteins, enzymes and energy at the cellular level, stimulating tissue repair and protecting cells against some toxic substances.[source]
So aside from helping to safely stimulate growth in humans, it also helps to stimulate tissue repair which could in a way keep us looking young.
Used regularly, chlorella would assist in the repair of damaged genetic material in human cells, protecting health and slowing down the aging process.[source]
So before going out to the medicine cabinet and chugging down on your kids Cherifer drops, I'd suggest getting instead the adult variant of this wonder drug, which is Cherifer Premium. Of course I'd suggest that you talk to your physician first before trying this out. There are some studies that even say that Chlorella Algae consumed by mice in a lab had anti tumor effects. Could the secret of the cure for Cancer lie with the Chlorella Algae?
When you think about it in a Macro basketball perspective, with almost all parents letting their kids take Cherifer. The soonest that we could expect to see the results of this on the Philippine Basketball Collegiate league is by 2018. By this time I hope to see Point Guards with an average height of 6′2″ instead of the 5′7″ frames that we see now. Maybe even 7′0″ centers too will be the norm by that time. Of course this alone won't guarantee us a slot in the Olympic finals, but it could be the stepping stone for the Evolution of Philippine Basketball.[source]

Co-Op Engineer Interview
I applied through a recruiter – interviewed at GAF.
There were three different interviewers. A tour of the plant was giving before the interview. Each interviewer asked one to three basic behavioral questions, for example: Can you remember a time when a team member had a conflicting issue and how did you resolve it? What are some of your goals you wish to achieve in your field of study?

Carrie Underwood takes the big award at ACM; Coachella 2010 wraps up
By Ally Schweitzer
- Carrie Underwood took away the biggest prize at last night's Academy of Country Music awards, winning "Entertainer of the Year" at the televised ceremony in Las Vegas. Lady Antebellum nabbed five awards and three went to Miranda Lambert. This is the second year in a row that Underwood, an American Idol winner, has taken home the coveted award.
- Coachella 2010 is over, and guess what-- we weren't there, but we read all about it! Seems like everyone is talking about the nerve of MGMT, who made 40,000 people stand through material from their good but undanceable new album before they got to their electro-pop hits; Phoenix's gig, which drew more fans than Pavement and made guys in their 30s question the meaning of music for all eternity; and collaborations between Beyonce/Jay-Z and Thom Yorke/Flea.

Stores Borrow From Fast-food Industry's Playbook
â¿¿ MORE SHIPPING AND RETURN OPTIONS FOR SHOPPERS WHO COVET CONVENIENCE: About 44 percent of retailers are offering free shipping this year, a jump from 12.5 percent last year, said Vicki Cantrell, executive director of Shop.org, the National Retail Federation's digital retail division that tracks retailers' online offers. And UPS said retailers also are working to make returns easier by including return labels in packages or providing a link online that customers can use to print labels.
Additionally, some stores, including Best Buy Co., Toys R Us and Wal-Mart, are offering customers the option of ordering online and then picking up merchandise in stores.
Danny de Gracia, a political scientist in Honolulu, likes using that option to avoid the hassle and crowds in stores. Gracia, who said he plans to spend no more than $1,000 this holiday season, last used the service to buy a Sony digital camera for his father at Best Buy.
"It's an outstanding service that I utilize whenever possible," he said. "I wish that it would be available for groceries."â¿¿ LAYAWAY PLANS FOR FINANCIALLY-STRAPPED SHOPPERS: Shoppers have typically been charged a fee for layaway programs that allow them to pay over a period of weeks. But this year, Sears and discount chain Kmart, both divisions of Sears Holdings Corp., ditched the fees, which could be as much as $10 for 12 weeks. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. lowered layaway fees from $15 to $5. â¿¿ PRICE MATCHING FOR SHOPPERS WHO ARE ADDICTED TO DEALS: Small mom-and-pop stores long have offered to match the cheaper prices that customers find online, but this year big merchants such as Target and Best Buy will do the same. It's an attempt to combat the growth of "showrooming," when customers look at merchandise in stores but buy it cheaper online. â¿¿UPDATED SHOPPING APPS FOR SMARTPHONE-TOTING SHOPPERS: Shopping apps for smartphones and tablets have been around since shortly after the iPhone debuted in 2007, but this year retailers are beefing them up. For instance, Macy's is launching a Black Friday portion of its mobile app, which highlights specials and other deals not advertised elsewhere. It also will have maps and information about where in each store Black Friday deals can be found.

LEAF Awards 2013 Winner: Sliced Porossity Block in Chengdu
Mixed-Use Building of the Year
Steven Holl Architects, CapitaLand Raffles City, Chengdu, China
In the centre of Chengdu, China, at the intersection of First Ring Road and Ren Ming Nam Road, the Sliced Porosity Block forms large public plazas with a wealth of hybrid functions. Creating a metropolitan public space instead of object-icon skyscrapers, this three-million-square-foot project takes its shape from its distribution of natural light. A sunlight exposure pattern creates precise geometric angles that slice the exoskeletal concrete frame of the structure with glass. The building is constructed from white concrete, organised in 6ft-high openings with earthquake diagonals as are required by law.
The large public space framed in the centre of the block takes the form of three valleys inspired by a poem of the city's greatest poet Du Fu (713–770), who wrote, 'From the northeast storm-tossed to the southwest, time has left stranded in Three Valleys.' The three plaza levels feature water gardens based on concepts of time: the Fountain of the Chinese Calendar Year, the Fountain of Twelve Months and the Fountain of Thirty Days. These three ponds function as skylights to the six-storey shopping precinct below.
Establishing human scale in this metropolitan rectangle is achieved through the concept of 'micro-urbanism', with double-fronted shops open to the street as well as the shopping centre. Three large openings are sculpted into the mass of the towers as the sites of the Pavilion of History, the Light Pavilion and the Local Art Pavilion.
The Sliced Porosity Block is heated and cooled with 468 geothermal wells and the large ponds in the plaza harvest recycled rainwater, while the natural grasses and lily pads create a natural cooling effect. High-performance glazing, energy-efficient equipment and the use of regional materials are among the other methods employed to reach the LEED Gold rating.
LEAF Awards jury statement
This scheme for the new Raffles City district in the fast developing city of Chengdu is a hybrid of different functions. Its geometry results from required minimum daylight exposure to the surrounding urban fabric prescribed by code and calculated by the precise geometry of sun angles. The large public space framed by the block is formed into three valleys inspired by a 7th century poem of Du Fu. In some of the porous openings parts different buildings are inserted. The judges approved of the architects' bold yet discerning design strategy coupled with a mature micro-urban plan for a new terrain of public space in the form of an urban terrace on the metropolitan scale of Rockefeller Center, sculpted by stone steps and ramps with large pools that spill into stepped fountains. Trees, plantings, benches and roof gardens are positioned close to cafes.
The design aims to be a sustainable role model, and responds very well to the need to achieve new levels of green construction in Chengdu, with a complex that is heated and cooled geothermally by 400 wells. The large podium ponds harvest recycled rainwater with natural grasses and lily pads creating a cooling effect.

VATICAN LETTER Feb-18-2011 (920 words) Backgrounder. With photos posted Feb. 11. xxxi
On 80th birthday, Vatican Radio rides wave of digital technology

By John Thavis
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Eighty years ago, a persistent pope and a scientific pioneer teamed up to create Vatican Radio, launching an evangelization tool that reached virtually every corner of the globe.
Today, Vatican Radio is riding the latest wave of digital technology to expand its audience and its services, with an Internet presence in more than 40 languages.
The anniversary celebrations kicked off in February with a retrospective Vatican Museums exhibit. Among the items on display was the microphone Pope Pius XI used to broadcast the first radio message to the world -- in Latin, of course -- on Feb. 12, 1931.
At that time, radio broadcasting was still in its infancy, but the pope insisted that he wanted his own radio station. He turned the project over to Guglielmo Marconi, the Italian inventor who developed wireless technology, who was only too happy to help.
It still stands as one of the most successful collaborative efforts involving the church and modern science. The image of Pope Pius at the microphone seemed to change the role of the papacy itself; from then on, every pope would be the church's "first communicator."
It's a legacy Pope Benedict XVI wants to preserve and build on as the Vatican's media adapt to the digital age. One of the pope's first in-house visits at the Vatican was to Vatican Radio, where employees gave him an iPod nano pre-loaded with classical music.
In late April, the pope will address members of the European Broadcasting Union when they meet in Rome, and his speech is expected to highlight the church's ongoing investment in communications resources and technology.
In 1931, Pope Pius saw radio as a God-given opportunity to reach countries where missionaries and other church personnel were not free to work. At the center of Vatican Radio's mission, then and now, was the pope's voice.
"The electric radio waves will carry your word of peace and your blessing through space to the whole world," Marconi told the pope before the inaugural broadcast.
During and immediately after World War II, Vatican Radio broadcast more than 1.5 million messages to help reunite prisoners of war and refugees with their families. Some prisoners still remember the radio's transmissions being played through the loudspeakers of internment camps.
After the war, Vatican Radio began a new chapter, broadcasting daily to communist countries behind the Iron Curtain. When East European communism gave way to democracy, the radio was inundated with more than 40,000 letters of thanks from Catholics and others who had listened to the programs for decades.
Vatican Radio still transmits to Catholic populations that are culturally isolated, which increasingly include large groups of foreign workers. In parts of the Middle East, for example, millions of Christian immigrants from Asia can tune in to Vatican Radio programs in various languages. Other broadcasts reach Catholic minorities in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan.
Over the years, Vatican Radio has developed a staff that works not only in many languages but in 15 different alphabets. It's a unique resource at the Vatican, one that positions Vatican Radio to be a key player in the digital age.
At a Vatican event in mid-February, U.S. Msgr. Peter B. Wells said in a speech that Vatican Radio has a crucial role in the modern world, as a voice for religious freedom, dialogue and harmony. To do that, he said, the radio needs to be savvy about modern media and technology, which can deliver a message to millions of people on their cell phones or other personal devices.
"It is no longer enough to go on air, to publish, to write. Today, one needs to be present in the marketplaces, to update the Web pages, in order to reach a world ever hungrier for news," Msgr. Wells said.
"In other words, not having new technical tools at one's full disposal, or not knowing about the most current tools, will mean that one's message will arrive late, will arrive wrong and might even arrive in vain," he said.
Msgr. Wells also spoke about media convergence at the Vatican. "Convergence," a term used by Pope Benedict in 2008, has become a watchword among Vatican officials as they attempt to unify and coordinate the Vatican's wide variety of communications tools -- including TV, radio, newspaper, publishing and press office.
Msgr. Wells said convergence has already moved ahead, with increased cooperation between Vatican Radio, the Vatican Television Center and the Pontifical Council for Social Communications. But he said there are much broader and bigger plans to "establish the permanent presence of the Holy See in the world of new media."
The speech by Msgr. Wells was significant in ways unique to the Vatican, and sent important signals. In effect, the U.S. monsignor was speaking for the Secretariat of State, where he is assessor for general affairs. He left no doubt that media convergence will not simply be a slogan at the Vatican.
In fact, Vatican officials are excited about the next big step in communications: the unveiling of a Vatican multimedia news site. The site will be a one-stop Internet portal for news and features from CTV, Vatican Radio, the Vatican newspaper, the Vatican press office and the missionary news agency Fides.
Officials plan to launch the project this year, perhaps as early as Easter. When it's up and running, many expect Vatican Radio to take a leading role in providing content -- the latest transformation of an institution that began with a pope and a microphone.
