Star Wars: Episode VIII script subtly teased by Peter Jackson
We already know that Star Wars: Episode VII will be making its way to theaters in 2015, but what about Episode VIII? It hasn't been announced yet, but we already know that Disney wants more Star Wars movies in the future. However, Episode VIII may already be in the works, because Peter Jackson just showed it off on camera.

Earth Hour is an effort to raise awareness on climate change
Australia's Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House were plunged into darkness on Saturday for the annual Earth Hour campaign, leading a global effort to raise awareness on climate change.
In a twist to this year's Earth Hour, Dutch astronaut Andre Kuipers will observe from the International Space Station countries around the world turning off the lights for 60 minutes from 8.30 p.m. local time and post photos.
From Sydney's sparkling harbour to Egypt's Tahrir Square and New York's Empire State Building, thousands went dark when the switches were flicked in some 150 countries and territories.
The Pacific island nation of Samoa was the first to make the symbolic gesture, with New Zealand's city landscapes later dramatically darkened as lights on buildings such as Auckland's Sky Tower were cut.
In Australia, where the event was conceived, harbourside buildings went dark, along with most big office buildings as some Sydneysiders picnicked on the harbour foreshore by moonlight.
Japan's Tokyo Tower interrupted its sunset-to-midnight lighting to take part, as organisers said the Earth Hour was an opportunity to pray for last year's earthquake and tsunami disaster.
In Hong Kong, the city's skyscrapers turned out their lights dimming the usually glittering skyline. Tourists and locals snapped pictures, although many were unaware of what was behind the switch-off.
Since it began in Sydney in 2007, Earth Hour has grown to become what environmental group WWF says is the world's largest demonstration of support for action on carbon pollution.
A total of 5,251 cities took part in 2011, as the movement reached 1.8 billion people in 135 countries, it says. Newcomers to the worldwide initiative include Libya and Iraq.
"Earth Hour 2012 is a celebration of people's power — the world's largest mass environmental event in support of the planet," said chief executive of WWF-Australia Dermot O'Gorman.
"And we're seeing hundreds of millions of people in different countries around the world take actions to go beyond the hour in support of positive actions for climate change and the planet."
In Beijing, Olympic Park's two landmark monuments, the Bird's Nest and Water Cube, were spending an hour in darkness.
And in Singapore, 32 malls — many located in the glittering Orchard Road shopping belt — and more than 370 companies including luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton and Armani turned off non-essential lighting.
In Taiwan, the presidential office went dim and in the Philippines, more than 1,780 police stations and training centres turned off all non-essential lights and electrical equipment.
In the Indian capital New Delhi, lights at India Gate, Qutub Minar and Humayun's Tomb were switched off.

Red Dwarf is a British comedy franchise which primarily comprises eight series (plus a ninth smaller series named Back To Earth) of a television science fiction sitcom that aired on BBC Two between 1988 and 1999 and on Dave in 2009 and 2012. It gained cult following.[1] It was created by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, who also wrote the first six series. The show originated from a recurring sketch, Dave Hollins: Space Cadet part of the mid-1980s BBC Radio 4 comedy show Son of Cliché, also scripted by Grant and Naylor. In addition to the television episodes, there are four bestselling novels, two pilot episodes for an American version of the show, a radio version produced for BBC radio 7,[2] tie-in books, magazines and other merchandise.
In 2008, a three-episode production was commissioned by the digital channel Dave. These episodes were screened in April 2009 during the Easter weekend and comprised a three-part story titled Red Dwarf: Back to Earth.[3] Unlike the majority of the original BBC episodes, this mini-series was a comedy drama filmed without a studio audience or an added laugh track.
Despite the pastiche of science fiction used as a backdrop, Red Dwarf is primarily a character-driven comedy, with off-the-wall, often scatological science fiction elements[4] used as complementary plot devices. In the early episodes, a recurring source of comedy was the "Odd Couple"-style relationship between the two central characters of the show, who have an intense dislike for each other and are trapped together deep in space. The main characters are Dave Lister, the last known human alive, and Arnold Rimmer, a hologram of Lister's dead bunkmate. The other regular characters are Cat, a lifeform that evolved from the descendants of Lister's pregnant pet cat Frankenstein; Holly, Red Dwarf's computer; Kryten, a service mechanoid; and, as of Series VII, Kristine Kochanski, an alternative-reality version of Lister's long-lost love.
One of the series' highest accolades came in 1994, when an episode from the sixth series, "Gunmen of the Apocalypse", won an International Emmy Award in the Popular Arts category, and in the same year the series was also awarded "Best BBC Comedy Series" at the British Comedy Awards.[5] The series attracted its highest ratings, of over eight million viewers, during the eighth series in 1999.[6]
Series X will consist of six episodes, recorded in front of a studio audience in December 2011-January 2012 and will air in September 2012 on Dave and also on Dave HD.[7]

The main setting of the series is the eponymous mining spaceship Red Dwarf,[8] which is 6 miles (9.7 km) long, 5 miles (8.0 km) tall, and 4 miles (6.4 km) wide and is operated by the Jupiter Mining Corporation.[9] In the first episode set sometime in the late 22nd century, an on-board radiation leak of cadmium II kills everyone except for low-ranking technician Dave Lister, who is in suspended animation at the time, and his pregnant cat, Frankenstein, who is safely sealed in the cargo hold.[10] Following the accident, the ship's computer Holly keeps Lister in stasis until the background radiation dies down – a process that takes three million years.[10] Lister therefore emerges as the last human being in the universe – but not alone on-board the ship.[11] His former bunkmate and immediate superior Arnold Judas Rimmer is resurrected by Holly as a hologram to keep Lister sane. At the same time, a creature known only as Cat is the last member on board of Felis sapiens, a race of humanoid felines that evolved in the ship's hold from Lister's cat, Frankenstein, and her kittens during the 3 million years that Lister was in stasis.[11]
The main dramatic thrust of the early series is Lister's desire to return home to Earth, although the crew's ownership of an unlimited time-space travel drive in series seven was to later negate this intention.[12] As their journey begins, the not-so-intrepid crew encounters such phenomena as time distortions, faster-than-light travel, mutant diseases and strange lifeforms that had developed in the intervening millions of years.[12] During the second series, the group encounter the service mechanoid Kryten, rescuing him from a long-since crashed vessel.[13] Initially, Kryten only appeared in one episode of series two, but by the beginning of series three he had become a regular character.[14] At the end of series five, Red Dwarf itself is stolen by persons unknown, forcing them to travel in the smaller Starbug craft for two series, with the side-effect that they lose contact with Holly.[15] In series seven, Rimmer departs the crew to take up the role of his alter ego from a parallel universe, Ace Rimmer, whose name has become a long-standing legend and a legacy passed down from dimension to dimension. Shortly afterwards, the crew found a parallel version of themselves from a universe in which Kristine Kochanski, Lister's long-term love interest, had been put into stasis at the time of the leak and so became the last remaining human.[16] A complicated series of events leaves Kochanski stranded in "our" universe, where she is forced to join the crew.[16] At the end of series seven, we learn that Red Dwarf had been stolen by Kryten's service nanobots, who had abandoned him years earlier.
At the beginning of the eighth series, Red Dwarf is reconstructed by Kryten's nanobots, who had broken it down into its constituent atoms.[17] In the process, the entire crew of the ship – including a pre-accident Rimmer – are resurrected, but the Starbug crew find themselves sentenced to two years in the ship's brig (at first, for crashing a Starbug and bringing onboard Kryten and Cat as stowaways, but later for using information from the confidential files).[17] The series ends with a metal-eating virus loose on Red Dwarf. The entire resurrected crew evacuates save the original dwarfers. In the cliffhanger ending, Rimmer is left stranded alone to face Death (and promptly knees him in the groin and flees).[18]
Nine years later, the four "Boys from the Dwarf" are once more the only beings on the ship. Rimmer is again a hologram, Holly is offline, and Lister is mourning Kochanski, lost to him out of an airlock some time previously. A chance to get back to Earth through a dimension warp presents itself, but though it is not quite what it first appears to be, it results in giving Lister new hope when he learns that Kochanski is still alive after all.
The first series aired on BBC2 in 1988. Nine further series have so far been produced,[14] and a film has been in development almost continually since before series VIII in 1999.[25]
The concept for the show was originally developed from the sketch-series Dave Hollins: Space Cadet on the BBC Radio 4 show Son of Cliché in the mid-1980s, written by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor.[26] Their influences came from films and television programmes such as Silent Running (1972), Alien (1979), Dark Star (1974) and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1981),[14] but also had a large element of British-style comedy and satire thrown into the mix, ultimately moulded into the form of a sitcom. Having first written the pilot script in 1983, the former Spitting Image writers had hawked their unusual and original script around but it was rejected by everyone at the BBC, as it was believed a sitcom based around science fiction would not be popular.[26]
It was finally accepted by BBC North in 1986, a result of a spare budget being assigned for a second series of Happy Families that would never arise, and producer Paul Jackson's insistence that Red Dwarf should be filmed instead.[27] The show was lucky to be remounted after an electricians' strike partway through rehearsals in early 1987 shut the entire production down (The title sequence was filmed in January 1987).[28] The filming was rescheduled for September, and the pilot episode finally made it onto television screens on 15 February 1988.[14]
Alan Rickman and Alfred Molina auditioned for roles in the series, with Molina being cast as Rimmer.[29][30] However, after Molina had difficulties with the concept of the series, and of his role in particular, the role was recast and filled by Chris Barrie. Barrie was a professional voice-actor and impressionist who had previously worked with both the writers on Spitting Image, and with the producers on Happy Families and Jasper Carrott productions.[30] Craig Charles, a Liverpudlian "punk poet", was given the role of Dave Lister. He was approached by the production team for his opinion about the "Cat" character, as they were concerned it may be considered by people as racist.[31] Charles described the character as 'pretty cool' and after reading the script he decided he wanted to audition for the part of Dave Lister.[28] Laconic stand up comedian Norman Lovett, who had originally tried out for the role of Rimmer, was kept in the show as Holly, the senile computer of the titular ship.[31] A professional dancer and singer, Danny John-Jules, arriving half an hour late for his appointment, stood out as the Cat immediately. This was partly due to his "cool" exterior, dedicated research (reading Desmond Morris's book Catwatching), and his showing up in character, wearing his father's 1950s-style suit.[31]
Grant and Naylor wrote the first six series together (using the pseudonym Grant Naylor on the first two novels and later as the name of their production company, although never on the episodes themselves).[32] Grant left in 1995,[14] to pursue other projects,[33] leaving Naylor to write the final two series with a group of new writers, including Paul Alexander and actor Robert Llewellyn who portrayed the character Kryten.[34]
For the most part, Ed Bye produced and directed the series. He left before series V due to a scheduling clash (he ended up directing a show starring his wife, Ruby Wax) so Juliet May took over as director.[35] May parted ways with the show halfway through the series for personal and professional reasons and Grant and Naylor took over direction of the series, in addition to writing and producing.[36] Series VI was directed by Andy de Emmony, and Ed Bye returned to direct series VII and VIII. Series I, II and III were made by Paul Jackson Productions, with subsequent series produced by the writers' own company Grant Naylor Productions for BBC North. All eight series were broadcast on BBC2. At the beginning of series IV, production moved from the BBC North's Oxford Road studios in Manchester to Shepperton.[37]
The theme tune and incidental music were written and performed by Howard Goodall, with the distinctive vocals on the closing theme tune courtesy of Jenna Russell. The first two series used a relatively sombre theme tune for the opening titles; from series III onwards this switched to an instrumental version of the closing theme. Goodall also wrote music for the show's various songs, including "Tongue Tied", with lyrics written by Grant and Naylor.[38] Danny John-Jules (credited as "Cat") re-orchestrated and released "Tongue Tied" in October 1993; it reached #17 on the UK charts.[39] Goodall himself sang "The Rimmer Song" heard during the series VII episode "Blue", to which Chris Barrie mimed.[40]
In 1998, on the tenth anniversary of the show's first airing (and between the broadcast of series VII and VIII), the first three series of Red Dwarf were remastered and released on VHS. The remastering included replacing model shots with computer graphics, cutting certain dialogue and scenes,[41] re-filming Norman Lovett's Holly footage, creating a consistent set of opening titles, replacing music and creating ambient sound effects with a digital master.[42] The remastered series were released in a 4 disc DVD boxset "The Bodysnatcher Collection" in 2007.[43]
Three years elapsed between series VI and VII, partly due to the dissolving of the Grant and Naylor partnership, but also due to cast and crew working on other projects.[33] When the series eventually returned, it was filmised and no longer shot in front of a live audience, allowing for greater use of four-walled sets, location shooting and single camera techniques.[44] When the show returned for its eighth series two years later, it had dropped use of the filmising process and returned to using a live audience.[45]
The show received a setback when the BBC rejected proposals for a series IX. Doug Naylor confirmed that the BBC decided not to renew the series as they preferred to work on other projects.[46] A short animated Christmas special was, however, made available to mobile phone subscribers.[47]
Red Dwarf: Back to Earth was broadcast over the Easter weekend of 2009, along with a "making of" documentary.[48][49] A further special, titled Red Dwarf: Unplugged, had been planned and was described by Craig Charles as "just the four of us - and some chairs – trying to improvise, or rather trying to remember, classic scenes", but this special was cancelled.[50]
The episode is set nine years after the events of "Only the Good...", Kochanski is dead and Holly is offline due to water damage caused by Lister leaving a tap running.[51] Actress Sophie Winkleman plays a character called Katerina, a resurrected hologram of a Red Dwarf science officer intent on replacing Rimmer.[52]
To achieve a more cinematic atmosphere, Back to Earth was not filmed in front of a studio audience. Although this was not the first time this had happened (i.e., Series VII), it was the first time a laughter track was not added for broadcast.[53] It was also the first episode of Red Dwarf to be filmed in High Definition.[51]
The specials were televised over three nights starting on Friday, 10 April 2009 to a mixed audience response. Back to Earth received record ratings for freeview channel Dave. Back to Earth was released on DVD on 15 June 2009.[54] The DVD includes both the individual episodes and a newly edited "Director's Cut" combining the three episodes into a single feature film.
Doug Naylor stated in an interview with Dave before the broadcast of Back to Earth that he would like to make another full-length series, but added that "we would have to wait and see" how good or bad the reaction to the new specials would be. He also stated that he would not want to make a series nine but that he might make a series ten, and explained that this would "make a lot more sense in future". The specials establish that two series focusing on the events leading up to Back to Earth occurred after series eight; during the fictional ninth series (described within the episode by one fan as "the best series yet"), Kryten informed Lister that Kochanski had died, but within Back to Earth Lister learned that Kochanski hadn't died at all, leaving open the possibility of Lister's pursuit of Kochanski in future episodes.
In June 2010, Craig Charles and Chris Barrie reported plans to produce further series of Red Dwarf,[55][56][57] although a subsequent article on the official Red Dwarf emphasised that nothing had yet been confirmed.[58] In January 2011, Robert Llewellyn confirmed on his website that a new series would be filmed in late 2011 and broadcast in 2012 on the digital channel Dave,[59] although the channel's owners UKTV initially refused to comment, suggesting that a new series had not been officially greenlit.[60] On 10 April 2011, a six-episode Red Dwarf "Series X" to be broadcast on Dave in autumn 2012 was officially announced. Doug Naylor confirmed the plans both on Twitter and at the Dimension Jump XVI convention,[61][62] and Dave issued the announcement through its website.[7][63]
Filming dates for series X were announced on 11 November 2011, along with confirmation that the series would be shot at Shepperton Studios in front of an audience.[64] Principal filming began on 16 December 2011 and ended on 27 January 2012, and the cast and crew subsequently returned for six days filming pick ups.[65] On 4 May 2012 Howard Goodall, who had composed music for Red Dwarf from its beginning until series VII, was announced as composer of the score for Red Dwarf X.[66]
Red Dwarf was founded on a standard sitcom trope: namely, a disparate and frequently dysfunctional group of individuals living together in a restricted setting. With the main characters routinely displaying their cowardice, incompetence and laziness, while exchanging insulting and sarcastic dialogue, the series provided a humorous antidote to the fearless and morally upright space explorers typically found in science fiction shows[14] with the main characters acting bravely only when there was no other possible alternative. The increasing science fiction elements of the series were treated seriously by Grant and Naylor. Satire, parody and drama were alternately woven into the episodes, referencing other — not always science fiction — television shows, films and books.[67] These have included references to the likes of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968),[68] Top Gun (1986),[69] RoboCop (1987), Star Wars (1977),[70] Citizen Kane (1942), The Wild One (1953), High Noon (1952), Rebel Without a Cause (1955), Easy Rider (1969), The Terminator (1984)[71] and Pride and Prejudice (1813).
The writers would even base the whole theme of an episode on a film's plot. The series III episode "Polymorph" references and parodies key moments from Alien (1979),[70] series IV's "Camille" echoes key scenes from Casablanca (1942),[71] "Meltdown" borrows the main plot from Westworld, (1973) and "Back to Earth" is greatly inspired by Blade Runner (1982). But the series does not limit its themes to films or television; historical events and figures have also been referenced and even integrated as part of an episode.[72] Religion also plays a part in the series, as a significant factor in the ultimate fate of the Cat race, and the perception of Lister as their "God".[73] Religion is turned on its head as mundane things are shown to acquire deep religious significance. The dispute over the colour of cardboard hats in Lister's fantasy doughnut diner (which has become the Cat version of Paradise) sparks the holy war that almost annihilates the species. The series also makes a literary reference to the Samuel Beckett play Waiting for Godot in the title for the episode Waiting for God. The episode titled Ouroboros derives its name and theme from the ancient mythological snake by the same name.[74]
The series also explores many sci-fi staples such as time-travel paradoxes (grandfather paradox), the question of determinism and free will (on several episodes), the pursuit of happiness in virtual reality and crucially to the show's premise of Lister being the last human, the near certainty of the human species' extinction some time in the far future.
Aliens do not feature in the series as Rob Grant and Doug Naylor decided very early in the process that they did not want aliens in the show. However, there are non-human life forms such as evolutions of Earth species (e.g. the Cat race), robotic or holo-life forms created by humans, or a Genetically Engineered Life Form (GELF), an artificially created creature (most of the enemies within the later series are some variant on GELFs or Simulants).[75]
The series developed its own distinct vocabulary. Words and phrases such as hologramatic [sic], Dollarpound, Felis sapiens, Simulants, GELF, space weevil and Zero Gee Football appear throughout the series, highlighting a development in language, political climate, technology, evolution and culture in the future.[76] The creators also employed a vocabulary of fictional expletives in order to avoid using potentially offensive words in the show, and to give nuance to futuristic colloquial language. "Smeg", "gimboid", "goit", and variants of "smeg" such as "smegging", "smegger", and "smeg-head" were used.[77]
The changes that were made to the series' cast, setting, creative teams and even production values from series to series have meant that opinions differ greatly between fans and critics alike as to the quality of certain series.[14][78] In the "Great Red Dwarf Debate", published in volume 2 issue 3 of the Red Dwarf Smegazine, science fiction writers Steve Lyons and Joe Nazzaro both argued on the pros and cons of the early series against the later series. Lyons stated that what the show "once had was a unique balance of sci-fi comedy, which worked magnificently."[79] Nazarro agreed that "the first two series are very original and very funny", but went on to say that "it wasn't until series III that the show hit its stride."[80] Series VI is regarded as a continuation of the "Monster of the week" philosophy of series V, which was nevertheless considered to be visually impressive.[81] Discussions revolve around the quality of series VI, seen by viewers as just as good as the earlier series',[82] but has been criticised as a descent into formulaic comedy with an unwelcome change of setting.[83]
The changes seen in series VII were seen as a disappointment; while much slicker and higher-budget in appearance, the shift away from outright sitcom and into something approaching comedy drama was seen as a move in the wrong direction.[84] Furthermore, the attempt to shift back into traditional sitcom format for series VIII was greeted with a response that was similarly lukewarm.[14] There was criticism aimed at the decision to resurrect the entire crew of Red Dwarf, as it was felt this detracted from the series' central premise of Lister being the last human being alive, as well as recognition that the cast "acted-up" to the live audience in a manner that was detrimental to the world of the series.[85] There are other critics who feel that series VII and VIII are no weaker than the earlier series, however,[86][87] and the topic is the subject of constant fervent debate among the show's fanbase.[14]
Although the pilot episode of the show gathered over four million viewers, viewing figures dipped in successive episodes and the first series had generally poor ratings.[88] Through to series VI the ratings had steadily increased and peaked at over six million viewers,[33] achieved with the episode "Gunmen of the Apocalypse".[89] When the series returned in 1999 it gained the highest audience figures yet – over eight million viewers tuned in for series VIII's opening episode "Back in the Red: Part I".[90] In its eight-series history, the series has won numerous awards including the Royal Television Society Award for special effects, the British Science Fiction award for Best Dramatic Presentation, as well as an International Emmy Award [91] for series VI episode "Gunmen of the Apocalypse", which tied with the Absolutely Fabulous episode, "Hospital", in the Popular Arts category. The show had also been nominated for the International Emmy Award in 1987, 1989, and 1992. Series VI won a British Comedy Award for 'Best BBC Comedy Series'. The video sales have won eight Gold Awards from the British Video Association,[92] and the series still holds the record for being BBC2's longest-running, highest-rated sitcom.[93] In 2007 the series was voted 'Best Sci-Fi Show Of All Time' by the readers of Radio Times magazine. Editor Gill Hudson stated that this result had surprised them as 'the series had not given any new episodes this century'.[94]
The show's logo and characters have appeared on a wide range of merchandise.[32][95] Red Dwarf has also been spun off in a variety of different media formats. For instance, the song "Tongue Tied", featured in the "Parallel Universe" episode of the show, was released in 1993 as a single and became a top 20 UK hit for Danny John Jules (under the name 'The Cat').[39] Stage plays of the show have been produced through Blak Yak, a theatre group in Perth, Western Australia, who were given permission by Grant Naylor Productions to mount stage versions of certain episodes in 2002, 2004 and 2006.[96][97][98][99] And in October 2006 an Interactive Quiz DVD entitled Red Dwarf: Beat The Geek was released, hosted by Norman Lovett and Hattie Hayridge, both reprising their roles as Holly.[100]
Working together under the name "Grant Naylor", the creators of the series collaboratively wrote two novels. The first, Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers, was published in November 1989, and incorporates plot lines from several episodes of the show's first two series. The second novel, Better Than Life, followed in October 1990, and is largely based on the second-series episode of the same name. Together, the two novels provide expanded backstory and development of the series' principal characters and themes. Retaining the show's offbeat sense of humor, the novels share some similarity with Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, also a science fiction comedy series.
The authors began work on a sequel to Better than Life, called The Last Human, but Rob Grant was drawn away from Red Dwarf by an interest in other projects.[citation needed] Still owing Penguin Publishing two more Red Dwarf novels, Grant and Naylor decided to each write an alternative sequel to Better than Life. Two completely different sequels were made as a result, each presenting a possible version of the story's continuation. Last Human, by Doug Naylor, adds Kochanski to the crew and places more emphasis on the science-fiction and plot elements, while Rob Grant's novel Backwards, is more in keeping with the previous two novels, and borrows more extensively from established television stories.[33]
An omnibus edition of the first two novels was released in 1992, including edits to the original text and extra material such as the original pilot script of the TV series.[101] All four novels have been released in audiobook format; the first two read by Chris Barrie,[102][103] Last Human read by Craig Charles,[104] and Backwards read by author Rob Grant.[105]
In December, 2009, Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers was released in Germany with the title Roter Zwerg (Red Dwarf in German).[106]
For the initial release of the VHS editions, episodes of Red Dwarf were separated and two tapes were released for each series, labelled 'byte one' and 'byte two'. These videos were named after the first episode of the three presented on the tape, as was typical with other BBC video releases at the time. However, on occasions the BBC decided to ignore the original running order and use the most popular episodes from the series to maximise sales of the videos. For series V, "Back to Reality" and "Quarantine" were given top billing on their respective video release.[107] For the second VHS volume of series I, "Confidence and Paranoia" was given top billing, even though the original broadcast order was retained; this was due to the leading episode being "Waiting for God" which shared its name with the title of another comedy series (set in a retirement home). Future releases would increasingly observe authenticity with the 'original broadcast' context. All eight series were made available on VHS, and three episodes of series VII were also released as special "Xtended" (sic) versions with extra scenes (including an original, unbroadcast ending for the episode "Tikka To Ride") and no laugh track;[108] the remastered versions of series I–III were also released individually and in a complete box-set.[109][110][111] Finally, two outtake videos were released, Smeg Ups in 1994, and its sequel Smeg Outs in 1995.[112][113]
The eight series have since been released on DVD in Region 1, 2 and 4, each with a bonus disc of extra material and each release from series III onwards being accompanied by an original documentary about the making of each respective series.[114] Regions 2 and 4 have also seen the release of two Just The Shows, digipack boxsets containing the episodes from series I–IV (Volume 1) and V-VIII (Volume 2) with static menus and no extras.[115][116] Red Dwarf: The Bodysnatcher Collection, containing the 1997 remastered episodes, as well as new documentaries for series I and II, was released in 2007. This release showcased a storyboard construction of "Bodysnatcher", an unfinished script from 1987, which was finally completed in 2007 by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor who were working together for the first time since 1993.[43] In December 2008 an anniversary DVD set entitled Red Dwarf: All The Shows was released, reworking the vanilla disc content of the two Just The Shows sets within A4 packaging resembling a 'photo album', which carefully omitted information that no extras were included. This box-set was re-released in a smaller slip-case sized box, reverting to the Just the Shows title, in November 2009. The series is also available for download on iTunes.
Red Dwarf: Back to Earth, the most recent entry into the franchise, was released on DVD and Blu-Ray in 2009.
The Red Dwarf Magazine – the magazine part of the title changed to "Smegazine" from issue 3 – was launched in 1992 by Fleetway Editions. It comprised a mix of news, reviews, interviews, comic strips and competitions. The comic strips featured episode adaptations and original material, including further stories of popular characters like the Mr. Flibble, Polymorph and Ace Rimmer.
Notably, the comic strip stories' holographic characters, predominately Rimmer, were drawn in greyscale. This was at the request of Grant and Naylor, who had wanted to use the technique for the television series, but the process was deemed too expensive to produce.[117] Despite achieving circulation figures of over 40,000 per month,[117] the magazine's publisher decided to close the title down to concentrate on their other publications.[33] A farewell issue was published, cover dated January 1994, and featured the remaining interviews, features and comic strips that were to feature in the following issues.[118]
Another Red Dwarf magazine was started called Red Dwarf: Better Than Life which is only available through the Red Dwarf Official Fan Club. It features cast interviews and the latest news. Each person gets four issues each year.
A pilot episode for an American version (known as Red Dwarf USA) was produced through Universal Studios with the intention of broadcasting on NBC in 1992.[119] The show essentially followed the same story as the first episode of the original series, using American actors for most of the main roles:[120] Craig Bierko as Lister, Chris Eigeman as Rimmer, and Hinton Battle as Cat. Exceptions to this were Llewellyn, who reprised his role as Kryten (a character who spoke with a flat accent reminiscent of American or Canadian intonations anyway), and the British actress Jane Leeves, who played Holly. It was written by Linwood Boomer and directed by Jeffrey Melman, with Grant and Naylor onboard as creators and executive producers.[121] During filming of the pilot the audience reaction was good and it was felt that the story had been well received.[121]
The studio executives were not entirely happy with the pilot, especially the casting, but decided to give the project another chance with Grant and Naylor in charge.[122] The intention was to shoot a "promo video" for the show in a small studio described by the writers as "a garage".[121] New cast members were hired for the roles of Cat and Rimmer;[121] Terry Farrell and Anthony Fuscle respectively. With a small budget and deadline, new scenes were quickly shot and mixed in with existing footage of the pilot and UK series V episodes.[121] Despite the re-shoots and re-casting, the option on the pilot was not picked up.[121] (Farrell was cast almost immediately afterwards for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.)
The cast of both the British and American versions criticised the casting of Red Dwarf USA, particularly the part of Lister who is portrayed in the British version as a likable slob but in the US version as somewhat clean cut. In the 2004 documentary Dwarfing USA, Danny John-Jules said the only actor who could have successfully portrayed an American Lister was John Belushi. In a 2009 interview on Kevin Pollak's Chat Show, Bierko said that casting him as Lister was a "huge mistake" and also said a "John Belushi type" would have been better suited to the role.[123]
The American pilot has been heavily bootlegged, but it has never been broadcast on TV in any country.
Since the end of the eighth series in 1999, Doug Naylor has been attempting to make a feature length version of the show. A final draft of the script was written, by Naylor, and flyers began circulating around certain websites. The flyer was genuine and had been distributed by Winchester Films to market the film overseas.[124] Plot details were included as part of the teaser. It was set in the distant future where Homo sapienoids - a fearsome flesh machine hybrid race — had taken over the solar system and were wiping out the human race. Spaceships that tried to escape Earth were hunted down until only one remained... Red Dwarf.[125]
Naylor had scouted Australia to get an idea of locations and finance costs, with pre-production beginning in 2004 and filming planned for 2005.[125] However, finding sufficient funding has been difficult. Naylor explained at a Red Dwarf Dimension Jump convention that the film had been rejected by the BBC and the British Film Council. Reasons given for the rejections were that while the script was considered to be funny, it was not ready.[126]
Deep7 LLC released Red Dwarf - The Roleplaying Game in February 2003 (although the printed copyright is 2002).[127] Based on the series, the game allows its players to portray original characters within the Red Dwarf universe. Player characters can be human survivors, holograms, evolved house pets (cats, dogs, iguanas, rabbits, rats and mice), various types of mechanoid (Series 4000, Hudzen 10 and Waxdroids in the corebook, Series 3000 in the Extra Bits Book) or GELFs (Kinatawowi and Pleasure GELF in the corebook, "Vindaloovians" in the Extra Bits Book).
A total of three products were released for the game: the core 176-page rulebook, the AI Screen (analogous to the Game Master's Screen used in other roleplaying games, also featuring the "Extra Bits Book" booklet), and the Series Sourcebook.[128] The Series Sourcebook contains plot summaries of each episode of every series as well as game rules for all major and minor characters from each series.
The game has been praised for staying true to the comedic nature of the series, for its entertaining writing, and for the detail to which the background material is explained.[128][129] However, some reviewers found the game mechanics to be simplistic and uninspiring compared to other science fiction roleplaying games on the market.[130]
On 14 February 1998, the night before the tenth anniversary of the show's pilot episode broadcast, BBC2 devoted an evening of programmes to the series, under the banner of Red Dwarf Night. The evening consisted of a mixture of new and existing material, and was introduced and linked by actor and fan Patrick Stewart. In addition, a series of special take-offs on BBC2's idents, featuring the "2" logo falling in love with a skutter, were used.[131] The night began with Can't Smeg, Won't Smeg, a spoof of the cookery programme Can't Cook, Won't Cook, presented by that show's host Ainsley Harriott who had himself appeared as a GELF in the series VI episode "Emohawk: Polymorph II". Taking place outside the continuity of the series, two teams (Kryten and Lister versus Rimmer and Cat, although Cat quickly departs to be replaced by alter ego Duane Dibbley) were challenged to make the best chicken vindaloo.[131]
After a compilation bloopers show, featuring out-takes, the next programme was Universe Challenge, a spoof of University Challenge. Hosted by original University Challenge presenter Bamber Gascoigne, the show had a team of knowledgeable Dwarf fans compete against a team consisting of Chris Barrie, Craig Charles, Robert Llewellyn, Chloe Annett and Danny John Jules.[131] This was followed by The Red Dwarf A-Z, a half-hour documentary that chose a different aspect of the show to focus on for each letter of the alphabet. Talking heads on the episode included Stephen Hawking, Terry Pratchett, original producer Paul Jackson, and Patrick Stewart. Finally, the night ended with a showing of the episode "Gunmen of the Apocalypse".[131]

I have been working with vertex selection and processing .I am starting off with a cube I then select some vertices then rotate the cube around the y axis by 45 degrees. Having spent some time on this I have found that by giving various values to each vertex I can derive an x direction edit and an x, z edit that look okay..
So, I guess the principle behind this type of processing is a relationship between the rotation of the mesh / vertices and the values that are passed to the edit functions, like a gradient I suppose.
So, what I would like to know, is what type of maths is this and how can I follow it up. For instance is this type of thing a derivative or deviation or something like that or is it some type of ratio deviation or derivative.
any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Last night I had my first OC with a LEO. It was a good experience.
Yesterday I had to have my Ford F-250 serviced for an unforseen problem. I was told that they could not finish the repair that day & the truck would have to be finished the following day. I took a taxi cab home and anticipated how I would get to work. I was forced to take the local bus system here in Vegas. Here's where the LEO encounter began as I was walking at one point. Keep in mind that I OC a G26 to & from work. I was also wearing a security guards uniform as well. It was around 1:31AM.
I had been walking approximately a mile thus far. As I was walking past a closed restuarant I saw a local marked police vehicle make a sudden U turn. I strongly suspected that I was going to have a LEO encounter.
As I expected the police vehicle activated it's lights and stopped immediately behind me. The officer exited his vehicle and ordered me to walk toward his car and put my hands on the hood. I complied with his request.
He asked me where I was going. I told him that I had missed my bus and was walking part of the way home. I took this time to advise the officer that my G26 was loaded & there was a round in the chamber. He then ordered me to stay where I was standing. He then requested a "back up" officer to the scene.
Upon the arrival of the back up officer the first officer placed his hinged handcuffs on me. He advised me that I was not being detained or under arrest but this was for "officer safety" until he could ascertain my intentions with my carrying a handgun.
The first officer tried to remove my G26 from it's holster several times. He couldn't do it! He asked me how to remove it so I explained how the retention device on my holster works to remove the handgun. He then safely removed my handgun from it's holster.
The first officer than walked to the passenger side of his vehicle and proceeded to clear my G26 and place it on the dashboard of his car. He then requested where I carry my ID. I advised him my wallet was in my back right hand pocket. He then removed my wallet and asked where my ID was as well. He located my ID and proceeded to verify my identity.
As I was handcuffed the back up officer explained that there have been cases of individuals impersonating police officers. They had to verify that I was not such a person. I was explained to the back up officer that I understood why I was being questioned about carrying a firearm. He thanked me for my positive attitude at this encounter and confessed that that was a good thing to do under the circumstances.
Long story short, the first officer verified that I wasn't a BG. He then told me that he would put my G26 and magazine on the sign of the closed restuarant sign around 8 feet away. Once uncuffed I could retrieve my handgun & continue on my way.
I then offered the each of the officers my hand & I shook their hands. I thanked them fo their professional attitude during this encounter. They thanked me for my positive attitude as well. All in all, I think it went as well as could be be expected.
Now I've had my first LEO encounter.

The flower-print pants aren't for everybody. They're not cheap either. Jacob Keller had to work the counter more than a few hours at North Portland's Atomic Pizza to pay for them.
But the 20-year-old felt good that day in November when he strolled around the University of Portland campus, decked out in roses. He was headed to marketing research class when the school's marketing photographer, Jeff Kennel, asked if he could snap a photo for a fall fashion series.
picture earned Keller a $10,000 scholarship from clothing website
PLNDR.com and a new legion of Internet fans. These days, videos on
Keller's YouTube channel, Always Fresh Apparel, reach 10,000 hits within
a matter of hours. Girls say he's a babe; guys say he's an inspiration.
fans who send Keller daily messages, complimenting his style or asking
for advice on theirs, wouldn't have noticed him a few years ago. As a
Central Catholic High School student, Keller wore baggy jeans and
sweatshirts. He was an overweight teen, he says, and the ill-fitting
threads were an attempt to cover the extra pounds.
When his older brother Josh started wearing cool hats -- snapbacks with square brims and an innovative design -- Keller took notice. He put his pizza money toward new hats of his own. Then he bought T-shirts, jackets and specialty sweatshirts. For the first time, he started to feel good about himself, assured.
"Clothes do help your confidence level," he said. "If you wear stuff that resembles you and makes you feel comfortable, people will see that."
After a while, he turned to YouTube for inspiration. The site teems with 20-somethings modeling clothes and talking to viewers about their style. Some sit viewless, an electronic diary waiting for a snoop. But others rack up hundreds of thousands of views, earning their stars money back through small advertisement deals.
Keller had watched similar videos for months before he tried making his own. He opened his Macbook, turned on the Photo Booth video recorder and began.
"Hey YouTube," he said. "I know this is probably lame, but I'm just gonna show you guys my snapback collection. I don't wear fitteds because my head's kinda shaped weird."
His eyes turned down, embarrassed. He rushed through showing off his hats. A Kendrick Lamar record playing in the background spoke louder than he did.
"I didn't really know what to say," he said later. "Do I talk about what it looks like? People can see it. It's visual. Why do they need me?"
He uploaded the video anyway. Four days later, he tried again, this time dubbing himself Always Fresh Apparel. He propped a Sony point-and-shoot camera on top of his TV then taped a mirror behind it so he could ensure he stayed in frame. He stood in front of a wall full of posters -- basketball greats and inspirational sayings.
"Sup, YouTube," he started.
"People want to watch you not really for the clothes but for the personality and the charisma and the charm that you bring to a video," he said.
When the videos took off, his mother, Leslie, worried. College isn't cheap, and she didn't want him to neglect his homework. But he buckled down, earned a 4.0 and thousands of new viewers at the same time.
These days, his mother appears in the videos from time to time. She's an expert thrifter, so the two shop together on the weekends.
Like plenty of other people who have seen the floral pants, Leslie Keller thought her son was crazy when he bought them.
"But if you like them, my opinion doesn't matter," she said.
When he won the scholarship -- given to a student with excellent style -- he ran to tell her first.

Sequel to the national best seller, Nebula Award finalist, and Compton Crook Award winner Fire with Fire. Science fiction adventure on a grand scale.
When reluctant interstellar diplomat and intelligence operative Caine Riordan returns from humanity's first encounter with alien races, sudden war clouds burst. With Earth's fleet shattered by a sneak attack and its survivors fighting for their lives, Caine must rely upon both his first contact and weaponry skills to contend with the non-humanoid enemy. And when the technologically superior attackers sweep aside the solar system's last defenses, and traitorous corporations invite the invaders to land "security forces", humanity fights back with its best weapons: cunning, inventiveness, and guts.
But as Earth hurtles towards a final trial by fire that is certain to scar its collective memory, Caine discovers that there may also be large and disturbing gaps in that memory. Clues point to a much earlier inter-species apocalypse, buried in humanity's own prehistory. Which raises a terrifying possibility: What if the aliens' invasion of Earth is not one of conquest, but preemption? And what if their harrowing memories of a long-past cataclysmic war makes them willing to do anything to keep it from reigniting? Even if that means exterminating the human race?

"Interesting Story"
I listened to this right after listening to Ringo's Troy Rising. Two interesting and very different takes to the same scenario. Ringo's is a far-rightist take (anti-government, pro-capitalist) with warfare styles similar to that of European colonial expansion while Gannon's is a moderately leftist take (pro-environment, anti-business) modeled off the Vietnam war and similar modern clashes. I enjoyed this book both for the writing and the comparative differences in approach.
The story line is rather confusing and hard to follow. The first book was even harder, I needed to restart it after finishing.

Storage Performance A Big Impact On Virtualization
Camberley Bates, managing director of analyst firm Evaluator Group, hosted a panel during the COMDEXvirtual conference on how storage performance impacts business' moves to virtualize their IT infrastructure.
Joining Bates on the panel were Paul Manning, vSpecialist manager at storage vendor EMC; Greg Knieriemen, vice president of marketing at Chi Corp., a Cleveland, Ohio-based solution provider; and Leah Schoeb, senior partner at Evaluator Group.
Bates started the discussion by noting that companies adopt virtualization to leverage and make better use of server resources including processor cores and memory in order to achieve economic savings and improve flexibility. However, she said, storage can quickly become a sticky point in that virtualization effort. "It's rare that IT has not dealt with some type of storage problem while they're bringing in more virtualization," she said.

Responsible Tax as Corporate Social Responsibility: The Case of Multinational Enterprises and Effective Tax in IndiaAlan MullerUniversity of Amsterdam Business School; University of Washington - Michael G. Foster School of Business Ans KolkUniversity of Amsterdam Business School May 28, 2012 Business and Society, Forthcoming Abstract: Anecdotal evidence often suggests that multinational enterprises (MNEs) operating in developing countries "exploit their multinationality" to avoid paying taxes to host governments. This article explores the concept of "responsible tax" as a corporate social responsibility (CSR) issue for MNEs, based on the notion that MNEs face considerable variation in the extent, monitoring, and application of tax laws internationally. This variation creates a "moral free space" as to which tax payments to make. Using firm-level data from three important sectors in India, the authors explore whether foreign MNE subsidiaries pay higher taxes than local firms, and whether, in the case of MNEs, there are differences between subsidiaries of MNEs with and without a reputation for CSR. The results for India show that MNEs pay considerably higher effective tax rates than do local firms, and MNE subsidiaries known for CSR pay more tax than do MNE subsidiaries less known for CSR. This set of findings suggests that MNEs operating in India see taxation in developing countries in relation to CSR.

Fabulous little gem.
It's a little too sheer for my tastes, but I get used to it. :)
Over just your nail, it sometimes looks like you have nothing on, but in certain lightings it really gives you a nice opaque surprise!

By itself of layered, this polish ROCKS!!! Like a shiny neutral. My nails look just like little pearls. I will definitely be keeping this color in my line up for a good while. One of my favorites.

OMMMMGGG I love this color its a really pretty pearly color you can wear over a pretty pastel color or any other color to make it less dramatic. This is like My favorite Opi Nail polish.And I love wearing it just by itself. It has purple,pink,green,and blue shimmers in it. It is so pretty. An plus i got it on sale for $3. I was so happy because OPI is usually $8

This is a gorgeous polish which I will repurchase again and again. Gives a very clean look with the softest pearl pink finish and IMO looks best with 2-3 coats. Looks so much better than many of the milky type french finishes which can appear too chalky or too sheer on me. Hope it is never discontinued.

Sooo lovely! It's a pinky shimmery polish that never looks "too much" and gives my nails a sophisticated, polished look.

I love this nailpolish. Its a irridescent pinkish purple. Its a long lasting beautiful shade, looks good on mani or pedi. It hid the yellowness in the nails really well better than any sheer nailpolish I have bought. I used this on my wedding day, definitely one of my favorite nailpolish colors i have bought in a long time.

This is a very sheer opalescent, with pink as the dominant flash. It's gorgeous at one coat, better at 2 or 3, and looks great layered on a green or blue base. I've tried it over Tree Hugger and Sally Hansen's Ivy League, and it's fantastic. But I generally wear it on its own when I want something subtle, with a little flash.

I *love* this colour. It was my first OPI NP. The iridescent shine is beautiful. I can layer this on top of black NP to create a kind of oil slick effect, or any other colour. it applies evenly. absolutely love it. I've used half the bottle already and It's been like 2 months lol.
