You can get away with a lot of stuff when your mom is around. Just ask Vinny Guadagnino, erstwhile Jersey Shore star and the host of MTV's new talk show, The Show With Vinny. Each week on the show he'll invite big-name celebrities inside the small Staten Island apartment he shares with his Italian mother, Paola, and the rest of his loud but loving family.
SallyAnn Salsano, who created the Jersey Shore phenomenon (you're welcome) and now produces Vinny's new show, says that motherly charm made her guests a lot more open than they'd normally be. "[Paola] doesn't know who anybody is, which is fun," Salsano tells Hollywood.com. "Lil Wayne comes in and she's asking him questions like do you sing, dance, or act? What do you do, honey? The minute a mom is asking a celebrity a question, you immediately become disarmed. Think about when you meet someone's parents, how you are. When they ask you a question, you'll answer it no matter what it is."
Paola might be Vinny's secret weapon, but he's got a leg up on other talk shows for another reason, too: his house. "Very few celebrities you read about are the Tori Spellings of the world whose father was Aaron Spelling," Salsano says. "Most celebrities are people that were a kid with a dream and their parents rallied behind them, or these kids moved out here on their own and were dirt poor and did whatever it took to make it. So in this sense, it was kind of nice because a lot of people came into Vinny's house and were like, 'This is my house.' ... For a lot of these celebrities, they're more comfortable in Vinny's Staten Island apartment with his mother than they are in a giant studio being interviewed."
The show isn't run like a traditional talk show. "We don't the pre-interviews," Salsano says. "We essentially would say to the celebrity, What's off limits? If it wasn't on that list, that means it was ready to go."
But the most important element of The Show's (hopeful) success is Vinny himself. "The thing about being a talk show host is being a good listener, as well as not needing to make it all about yourself," Salsano says. "With Vinny, if you think about his role on the Jersey Shore, everyone always talked to Vinny when they had a problem. You know how you have your group of friends and there's that one person who, when you're down in the dumps or you're excited about something, you go to them? Vinny's that person. ... He's so opening and so disarming that whenever a celebrity came into that house, it did not feel like a regular celebrity interview."
In fact, plenty of stars — including Scott Disick, Whitney Cummings, and Ke$ha — were so comfortable they stayed long after their segments were done. "Most celebrities were there between 40 minutes and two hours, and the one that stayed two hours, they probably stayed that long on their own accord," Salsano says. "Some people, after we wrapped the segment, they would come in to say thank you or goodbye or whatever and they'd wind up staying another hour just hanging out."
The Show With Vinny premieres Thursday, May 2 at 10 PM ET/PT on MTV.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

This is so mean, but so delicious. I would've cried, too.

Sure, this prank is funny, and well executed. But its message about the dangers of drinking and driving is second-to-none.
The "Scary Snowman" video looks very funny...when it happens to somebody else.
Fun, lighthearted pranks that make their unsuspecting victims laugh or smile are awesome. This one, however is quite the opposite. Watch it if you dare...

dividing & potting cannas
I must move, but I'd like to be able to take a few of my beloved cannas with me. What's the best way to gently dig & pot these babies for the move? Keep in mind, it's mid-summer in the south. It was close to 100 today. How can I keep them from getting too stressed?
I honestly don't know if this will help, because, in part, it depends on when you're going to move.
I've literally yanked (altho gentle digging would be better) canna rhizomes out of the ground, washed the soil off and stuck them into buckets of water. I've had them sitting in water for up to six weeks (at least) in a protected spot. I changed the water often.
As I'm usually giving this away to my sister or friends, when it came time to travel, I wrapped wet newspaper around the rhizomes/roots and put into large baggies and taped them closed. I used a marking pen to write the names, flower color, and heighth on the baggie. One group made it all the way to Ohio from California by car just fine.
After their road trips, some were potted up and others went straight into the ground and to my knowledge, none were lost. I did cut off the majority of the leaves on some of the smaller ones, or cut the stem in half on the larger ones before bagging them. This took up alot less space then individually potting them.
Thanks, Jenna!
That sounds like a perfect solution for me: I will try digging the rhizomes & doing it that way. I have so many plants I want to try & bring with me, the less space any one plant takes up, the better. (If I could, I'd dig up & pot up the 25 or 30 tomato plants that are all now about 6 feet high!)
When I mail out my cannas I dig them up, put them in water and devide them. I cut off all the leaves at about ground level.(2") Let them dry for about a half hour and wrap in newspaper and ship. At the other end they are ready to plant. If you have a lot that you want to take it is better to just take the rhizomes, not the whole flower. Like you said, you can take so many more in the same space. As long as they can go back into the ground at the other end without freeze you should be alright.
Beth, I don't know if you have time to get tomato plants fruit due to the time of year, but there's a couple methods you could try with some of your tomato plants.
One, and I've done this, is to take some cuttings and water root them. I would do the water rooting outside to keep them acclimated to the weather. And either pot 'em up or put them directly into the ground at your new home. The roots will be weaker due to being rooted in water but if they survive the move and planting, they'll toughen up really fast.
The other method is to cut them back and lift them. If you have humongous planters, plant them in those. If your back can take it, you can move those. Or, if you're just moving a short distance, wrap them roots in wet newspaper and replant them immediately into either the ground or large planters at your new house.
Some may survive, others may not, but it's always worth a try. I doubt if your harvest would be as large but any fresh tomato is worth not having any.
I appreciate the tomato advice but there was just no room. I had to move from a house with a huge vegetable garden & many flower beds to an apartment w/ a tiny concrete patio out back. It's just temporary, but no room for tomatoes. I left about 25 tomato plants for the new owners of my house, all loaded with fruit that was only about 2 weeks from ripening. Maybe I'll go back in a few weeks and beg for a basket full! In the meantime I'll just have to buy my tomatoes from the farmer's market. I should have enough time left in the season that I might try a dwarf cherry tomato in a container.
So the move is over, and the cannas are fine. A few young ones I just dug up and put in pots to decorate my little patio. Most are in limbo, the rhizomes wrapped up in damp paper inside plastic baggies. It's going to be spring before I can plant them - can I trick them into thinking it's winter already? I don't normally dig my cannas for the winter, they've always come back fine spending their winters in the ground. Should I keep them cold & damp, like in the refrigerator, or should I keep them cold & DRY?

Belle, Sebastian and the Horses was a children's television programme from 1968. It was a sequel to the earlier Belle and Sebastian, and also starred Mehdi El Glaoui as Sebastian. It was filmed in France as "Sébastien parmi les hommes" as 13 colour episodes, and re-titled by the BBC.
In it, Sebastian goes to spend some time on a horse ranch. The English title may be a slight misnomer as the dog Belle only appears fairly briefly, she is separated from the horses after she reacts negatively barking at them. It was not quite as successful as the earlier series, although it was repeated a couple of times by the BBC after its first screening in late 1968, and also shown once by RTE.

I cannot read books that take any faith I have in goodness and stomp on it. I read a huge novel of India and of the crushing poverty and I doubt I have the heart to read a similar story. My ugly American privilege. Read full review

This book is awesome. I know what it's like to live through a journal/diary but to have it published for public critisism is quite bold. I admire her courage as a black women and hope that her story continues to live on. Read full review

" Houston we have not liftoff "

The seven hour flight is relatively uneventful other than Rob Roy can't wait for the beach making her rounds with elbows high and fake smiles firing off volleys of turkey buns to appease the restless. They did compliment the two hundred plus with a free beverage, dinner and a roll. We arrive in Lima after an eighteen hour grunt from Calgary at 1:15am. Our pick-up is waiting at the exit with his " Mr. Creestopher Hanseen" sign, a welcome sight. ...
Changes I made
Yesterday, I tried to fix my stay at a guest ranch in the Texas Hill Country. However, the ranch of my choice is closed for a week due to a family wedding. I have checked for alternatives, but I either do not like the ranch or it is way too expensive. Therefore, I will jump on a horse in New Mexico or Arizona. Naturewise I will like those states better anyways.
So, this forenoon I will hop in a bus to San Antonio. Jan 29th in the evening, I will fly to El Paso.
Dorm Experience
Oh my goodness! What a night! 8 girls in 1 room coming and going at any time of the night. Making loud noises, putting the light on, snorring crazy, clogging the toilet, jumping around in the upper bunk, very limited respect. Under these circumstances I had my difficulties catching sleep. Am I getting too old for a dorm?

Re: 2009 gbn draft redux
Texans did respectful w/Cushing @ #6.
Interesting they have Wells 4 Texans @ #15....:rake:
reviewing later rounds I couldn't help but notice after Greene #65 & Coffee #74 (both reportedly would have been considered by Texans if still available) there wasn't another RB taken until 11th selection of the 4th rd. (Mike Goodson, Texas A&M). Then again not til near end of 4th rd. interesting.
Re: 2009 gbn draft redux
I have a feeling that the Lions would pick Cushing. Lions fans are always complaing on Sirius NFL radio about how they don't have that one playmaker on defense. While Orakpo will probably have a great career, he is not the playmaker that Cushing is and will be. Cushing will create more havoc on offenses that Orakpo will. But that's just my opinion.
Re: 2009 gbn draft redux
If I were Detroit, I think I'd go after Michael Oher. They've invested heavily in the starting QB, now its time to protect him. A few years ago they drafted Gosder Cherilus out of Boston to be the LT, but it hasn't worked out well for them and the current LT, Jeff Backus, is overmatched. Matthew Stafford ended the season on the IR with shoulder and knee problems.
In the second round, I'd be looking for a running back. QB's best friend is a good running game.
Re: 2009 gbn draft redux
Worst redux pick ever
Re: 2009 gbn draft redux
How the hell would Clay Mathews go ahead of Brian Cushing? Makes no sense. Also I'd say no to Beanie Wells, give me B.J. Raji.
Re: 2009 gbn draft redux
Re: 2009 gbn draft redux
Re: 2009 gbn draft redux
If I were Detroit I would go with Matthew Stafford because Daunte Cullpeper can't get it done and he is past his prime IMO. I would draft Stafford #1 and then Michael Oher at #20.
In the second round instead of Louis Delmas, I would have gone with James Laurenitis to complete there linebacking corps and put Larry Foote as OLB along with Julian Peterson.

Perfect getaway!
The house was beautiful! The kitchen had every pan, bowl and plate you could need. The beds were very comfortable, I slept better than I do at home. Plenty of ways to stay entertained inside. We had a blast in the kayaks. Did I mention the house was beautiful? All the original details from the 1930's made it feel like walking into the past. I cannot wait to go back!
Thanksgiving 2014
Thank you Kathy for the use of your beautiful home! We drove more than 1500 miles thru snow, fog and rain to arrive much later than we had expected. As you had stated, you left the lights on for us! Thank you! Your home was perfect for what we came for. Our son is active duty military and was unable to come home for Thanksgiving, so we came to him. We invited several of his shipmates to your home for a Thanksgiving meal. Your home was plenty big enough to hold all of them. After enjoying a traditional turkey dinner with all of the fixings, they all played charades and apples to apples. It was so much fun to watch them be able to unwind and have some downtime. This would not have been possible without the use of your home! With the kitchen having a double oven and open floor plan, it was easy to prepare a large meal and serve so many guests! The location of the home was easy for everyone to find, is close to the base and is easy to get to Silverdale, Bremerton and Poulsbo! Thank you for your hospitality and for opening your home for others to use! We will definitely be back! The Weide Family!

The 5th Annual LRAN National Conference will be held on June 15 & 16th at the Georgetown Law Center in Washington, D.C. Save the date! We look forward to seeing you all there.
The Labor Research and Action Network (LRAN) is a dynamic collaborative effort to connect workers' rights organizations, academics and students to build workplace and economic power for working people in this country.
The LRAN online community includes a website, listserv+, and an experts database to facilitate connections between scholars and practitioners working on worker campaigns. The listserv+ is a private, members-only, web-based forum that combines the functions of a listserve, online forum/newsgroup, and a wiki. You must be a current LRAN member and must register for access to the private network areas of this website. There is a $25 annual registration fee in order to access the LRAN listserve and database.
To join LRAN, simply complete our online member registration form. For those who make a minimum $25 tax-deductible donation to LRAN on our online membership donation page, website registration is free.
The 2015 Labor Research and Action Network national conference will be held June 15th and 16th at Georgetown Law Center in Washington, D.C. The Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor will host the conference. We are inviting proposals for the conference that fit into one of the conference tracks: Developing New Membership Models and Sustainability; Innovating Campaign Strategies That Build Power; Advancing Worker Rights in a Changing Economy, and Holding Corporations Accountable. Submissions are due by March 6th.
SAVE THE DATE! 5th Annual LRAN Conference in 2015
The 2015 Labor Research and Action Network national conference will be held June 15 and 16 at Georgetown Law Center in Washington, D.C. The Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor will host the conference, which will explore how labor unions and other worker-based organizations can effectively collaborate. The conference will examine methods of building worker power and advancing a new social movement in an economy where collective bargaining is imperiled, and where employer-employee relationships are increasingly fragmented. Scholars and labor practitioners from across the country will convene to reflect on this core theme, share news ideas and lessons learned, and connect around research and campaign work.
4th Annual LRAN Conference a Success
Over 250 labor scholars and practitioners from unions, universities and nonprofits across the country attended the fourth annual LRAN conference, hosted by the Kalmanovitz Initiative at Georgetown University. The conference started with a conversation between AFT President Randi Weingarten, Harvard University scholar Theda Skocpol and journalist and author of Nixonland, Rick Perlstein, who discussed some of the obstacles workers and modest income families are facing – both in the economy and in politics – as well as the root causes. Weingarten and Skocpol both emphasized the need for greater and more consistent engagement in community issues, increasing membership-based organizing and new organizing models. The second day opened with President of SEIU Healthcare Illinois Keith Kelleher, Katie Quan of the UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education, and Saket Soni, executive director of the National Guestworker Alliance, who reflected on their lessons learned from organizing workers and researching strategies to build worker power in a global economy. Noted labor historian Nelson Lichtenstein, director of the Center for the Study of Work, Labor and Democracy, presented a lecture on the trend away from the vertical integration of companies and strategies for holding the ultimate employer accountable for labor standards.
LRAN Trains Scholars and Facilitates Research on Government Contracting Out
One of the key goals of LRAN is to connect scholars with practitioners in order for their research to be relevant to the lives of workers. Last fall, the LRAN Initiatives Work Group decided to put this goal to practice through a project to fight privatization. Over the past year, LRAN has partnered with In the Public Interest (ITPI) to surface ongoing research needs related to privatization and responsible contracting, and to identify and cultivate scholars who could produce this research and serve as credible experts on the issues. On October 17-19, LRAN & ITPI held a training at the AFL-CIO in Washington, DC for faculty, union and nonprofit staff. Experts led workshops on analyzing costs, contract language, operations, public services, government oversight, and other key elements of government contracting out.
For those interested in accessing videos and materials from the training when they are made available, please contact Erin Johansson of Jobs with Justice, and provide your name, affiliation and title. To learn more about privatization research projects, contact Shar Habibi of ITPI. To get involved in the 2014 project of the LRAN Initiative Work Group, which will tackle another research topic of importance to worker campaigns, contact co-chairs Christian Sweeney of the AFL-CIO or Gordon Lafer of the University of Oregon.
Boston Regional LRAN Forum on Labor Law Reform
On November 13, organizers, labor researchers and academics attended a forum to discuss "Labor Law Reform: Which Way Forward?" on Nov. 13. The forum was held at SEIU Local 888 and was organized by a Boston Regional committee of LRAN. Participants heard four presentations on new legislative and organizing approaches to address the serious obstacles to recruiting new union members and help rebirth the labor movement. The panelists discussed ideas including Just Cause, pre-majority bargaining, holding primary employers accountable, and extending rights to excluded workers. MIT Professor Thomas Kochan wrapped up the panel presentations: "These are good ideas that don't require waiting for action at the federal level. Now we've got to get our message out to a wider audience and begin organizing for real change at the local level." The LRAN forum was co-sponsored by Mass AFL-CIO, Mass Jobs with Justice, Justice at Work, Immigrant Worker Center Collaborative, Labor Resource Center at UMass Boston and The Labor Guild.

Sam Outlaw, The Merry Rounders, Hank and Her Ponies, Smooth Hound Smith, Ranger
Detroit Bar
843 W. 19th St.
Costa Mesa, CA, 92627
This event is 21 and over
Sam Outlaw is a country singer living in Los Angeles, CA.
He's just completed his first full-length album, produced by Kelly Winrich (Delta Spirit).
His live band seeks to emulate the musical dynamic of 60s Pop Country and Alt Country with layered harmonies, pedal steel and words that rhyme with 'sad'.
Sam's major musical influences are George Jones, Willie Nelson, Eagles, Poco, Gram Parsons and The Beatles.
Hank and Her Ponies
Smooth Hound Smith is a foot stompin' folk-blues duo comprised of singer/multi-instrumentalist Zack Smith and vocalist/percussionist Caitlin Doyle. They record and perform a varied and unique style of folky, garage-infused rhythm & blues.
Using primal foot percussion, complex, fuzzed-out, finger-picked guitar patterns, warbled harmonicas, distorted vocals, and tasty harmonies, they are able to create something rugged and visceral- a modern interpretation of early blues, soul, and rock 'n' roll music that harkens back to the traditions of hazy front porch folk songs as well as raucous back-alley juke joints.

10 Weird Junk Sculptures
Subscribe to our newsletter
Ever thought of turning a bicycle into a fish or a washing machine into a ninja warrior? Of course you haven't, that would just be silly... but these people have.
Marcel Duchamp was one of the first people to use an unwanted object as a recognized sculpture piece. In 1917 he submitted a signed urinal to an open exhibition in New York. Since then, so called 'found art' has been a staple of the art world. Of course, signing your name on a toilet is pretty easy and many would argue that this is not art at all. Making a unique sculpture out of everyday junk, on the other hand, can require a special kind of genius and perhaps even a special kind of crazy. Such artwork often pretends to tell us something about the way we dispose of our litter or that we have become a 'disposable society', but at its best, it's simply fun, imaginative and bizarre.
Metal Yoda
Accidentally killing Yoda when crashing down on the planet Dagobah, Luke decides to rebuild silly green gremlin using parts from his trashed X-wing.
These fantastic Star Wars sculptures were built by Bangkok artist Yumi Modal.
Ink Jet Enterprise
Printer ink is so expensive that it seems a shame to just throw the empty cartridges away, so why not follow Faith Pearson's lead and use them to create a unique piece of art, like this ink cartridge Starship Enterprise.
Joe Pogan's Birds
While most junk sculptors think big, Oregon artist Joe Pogan thinks small, creating life-sized birds out of the tiniest bits of scrap metal including screws, nails, sprockets, broken watches and even spoons.
Rubber Monsters
Korean artist Yong Ho Ji uses reclaimed rubber tires to create his intricately detailed monster statues. Here he is posing with his 'Bullman 4' sculpture before an exhibition in London.
Circuit Board Shoes
Gabriel Dishaw has created countless junk sculptures, including some amazing figurines, but it's his bizarre circuit board shoes which earn him a place in this list. The shoes are incredibly precise replicas of his favourite Nike shoes, copying the design right down to the pattern of the tread.
And they say there's no such thing as an original idea.

Arizona Coyotes
Coyotes' Mike Smith makes history with goal vs. Red Wings
It was already going to be a glorious night for the Phoenix Coyotes.
After falling behind 2-0 to the Detroit Red Wings, the 'Yotes rallied for four straight goals, ensuring that they'd sweep the season series from the team from Hockeytown.
That's when goalie Mike Smith added the cherry to a very sweet sundae for Phoenix in a 5-2 win.
With Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard on the bench after being pulled for an extra skater, the puck made it's way into the Coyotes' crease with just seconds left on the clock. Smith handled it, and did what any goalie would try to do in that situation -- he took a shot.
Three seconds and 180 feet later, the puck found the net, making Smith just the 11th goalie in NHL history to get credit for scoring a goal in a game and the first in franchise history.

More than 40% of retailers and manufacturers plan to shift volume to East Coast ports on a long-term basis as a result of chronic congestion on the West Coast, according to the findings of a new American Shipper research report.
Data from the software provider Freightos shows average vessel arrival in December was 5.2 days late at West Coast ports, compared to 1.7 days in September.
The new container service will connect ports in China, Taiwan and South Korea with Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Chile.
MIT's Center for Transportation & Logistics' Crossroads event showcased uses for additive manufacturing, autonomous parcel delivery machines, and low-cost, scalable batteries for electricity storage.
Impact of speed limiters and logging devices will be apparent on truckload capacity by 2017, with 2015 likely a transitional year in which carriers see fewer disruptions, according to investment advisor Stifel.
Overall container traffic is down at Port of Jacksonville for the first five months of fiscal year 2015.

/> Thackerson, 40, said he thinks the economy has affected donations because Boys Ranch Town has always had contributors to help meet its needs. He said many people may not know about the home's bleak situation. "I think just a few folks are beginning to understand the severity of what's happening. Now we know it's affecting us," he said. "When the economy crashed, sometimes there's a ripple effect. There's a delay. Now we're feeling it." He said plans are in place to close one of the cottages if the financial situation doesn't improve. Thackerson said he is not planning to turn out any of the home's residents. Rather, Boys Ranch Town will stop accepting more boys as the home becomes unable to hire adequate staff. Thackerson said the boys have been assured that they will have a home at the ranch town, even as the home tries to remain afloat. He said the boys are ages 7 to 18. Some are in the custody of the state Department of Human Services, while others come from families who are unable to care for them.
Call to provide a homeThackerson said he grew up in Eldorado, Texas, near an independently run boys ranch town. He said he cried when he was about 5 years old and his mother told him the residents' parents could not adequately care for them. A graduate of Texas Tech University, Thackerson was appointed as a collegiate missionary to Boys Ranch Town in Edmond in 1990. "It's a calling from the Lord (that) I've felt since I was a little kid," he said. Thackerson said he became Boys Ranch Town's administrator 13 years ago, and like the boys, he sees the ranch town as home. "Hopefully, we would not have to tell anyone they have to leave. That would be devastating to any one of our kids," he said. "It's not a camp they go to. This is their home."

The quest hath begun
... really cool because we got in this little pod of an elevator that felt like it was from some science fiction movie. After that we headed to Fitz's for lunch. The best part was the "bottomless" mug of their very own root beer. We left energized for our drive all the way to Tulsa Oklahoma, which is where we are staying the night. So far, the trip's been great.

Upland to Tulsa: Day 1
... into East St. Louis...After we turned around and headed over the Mississippi a third and final time, we parked the car in a parking garage in what looked like the arts district, right on the river with a bunch of old buildings housing shops and restaurants. We then realized that construction was blocking the easy way to get to the Arch, so we took a 20 minute walking detour trying to find the entrance to the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial (place where ...
Cold day here in Broken Arrow!
... salad and two local IPAs. Got back to the "big house" and promptly got sick. Off to bed at 10pm for me!
It was so good to finally meet Cindy's family (after almost 30 years!). Nice clan. I might have to visit them again...
I head out in the a.m. for Santa Rosa, New Mexico where I will spend the night.
Old friends are like old jeans-always comfortable
... went to the Olive Garden for dinner.
Got back to the house and Cindy dragged out some old photo albums to jog my fading memory of places we went to when we were in high school. God, we looked SO YOUNG! Where has the time gone? Up until after midnight reminiscing. What fun we had...and what secrets we kept!
Cindy took Friday off from work so we could catch-up.
Fun time. Off to bed!
Return to Vietnam after 49 years.
... Da Nang for about 5-6 days and visit the area to include several schools and orphanages in Hue where their foundation has installed water filtration systems. We plan to drive to Hue from Da Nang with them via Highway 1 which will go over the Hi Van Pass which I flew over many times on my second tour to Vietnam in 1970-71. We will all fly to Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) City for a week where we plan to see the sights including a visit to Bien Hoa where I was stationed with the ...

Slot car tracks were a ton of fun for racing with friends, but they came with some serious problems. Cars had a habit of flying off the track, pieces took a while to set up, and they required another person to race against. A new system called Real FX aims to bring the fun we all remember from slot-based racing to the modern era, with tracks that promise to be easier to set up, cars that actually assist the driver, and even AI opponents to race with when friends aren't around.

"Everyone knows it's Slinky." You might remember this classic line from the Slinky commercials of yore, and now the toy that's designed to topple end-over-end could be making a comeback in the form of Project NESM (Never Ending Slinky Machine), a machine that allows a Slinky to roll on a desk for as long as the user would like it to.

E3 2014 roundup: Uncharted, Halo and Zelda
With both Sony and Microsoft having had their latest consoles on the market for more than six months, this year's E3 was always going to be about the games. There was a wealth of new titles announced, including appearances from Nathan Drake, the Master Chief and Link, as well as closer looks at previously revealed games. The sheer volume of announcements made during the press events makes it impossible for us to cover everything, but here are some of the highlights from E3 2014. Read More
Mario Kart is one of Nintendo's most loved franchises, and it's a testament to the strength of its core gameplay how little it has changed since its inception. While the latest entry might not bring much new to the table, its fast-paced, re-tuned gameplay is the most fun we've had with the series for a long time. Read More
For decades, tabletop gamers have crafted characters, dungeons, and war zones using whatever material was available, from a pen and paper to sculpted metal. But, like many hobbies in the modern age, these games may soon be getting a high-tech upgrade. UK-based company Splendiferous Press recently revealed its debut product, the GameChanger, a damage-resistant screen that acts as a virtual surface for tabletop games, such as Dungeons & Dragons and Warhammer 40K.

Microsoft and 343 Industries have announced details regarding the next major instalment in its ever-popular Halo series. We already knew that the game was heading to Xbox One, but the news sheds light on the title and release window for new entry, as well as details regarding the Spielberg-helmed live-action series that will accompany the game.

"Virtual reality needs its arcade moment," argues Zero Latency co-founder Tim Ruse. The Oculus Rift headset may be making waves around the tech sphere and zeroing in on a takeover of home entertainment, but to really experience immersion, the Melbourne-based startup aims to prove you need to add full-body motion tracking and a big space that players can move around in. No wires, no gamepads, no treadmills. Read More
Microsoft has announced a turn-around on its policy towards the somewhat controversial Kinect sensor, usually bundled with its next-gen Xbox One console. In what is likely a response to pressure from both consumers and the strong sales of Sony's competing PlayStation 4 system, the company has today announced that it will sell its latest console without the Kinect sensor, lowering the price of entry to the system.

Like a video game arcade on steroids, Motionators offers drivers the chance to experience the thrill of Formula 1 racing in a giant, lurching motion rig that simulates bumps, acceleration, deceleration and cornering G-forces – and crashes; very physical crashes, as the rather pedestrian Gizmag Race Team discovered. Thankfully we had budding US F2000 racer Scott Andrews on hand, who holds every lap record at the facility, to show us the way around Monaco. Read More
Many of those who cut their gaming teeth on Nintendo's original 8-bit console still hold a candle for the Nintendo Entertainment System, or NES (released as the slightly-different but compatible Famicom in Japan). Retro-gaming hardware company Analogue Interactive is set to capitalize on this nostalgia with the Analogue Nt, an updated NES that boasts modern upgrades and is housed in a case made from a single solid block of aluminum.
