We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Video is locked down to US only. Fucking twats.
But why would you want it more realistic? The real world is bland. Games are a means to escape reality for a while.
What the game designers mean by 'realistic' is bigger textures and more polygons lighted by a bigger number of light sources, creating a more vivid picture, and that should be their goal. I like the 'realism' of stepping out into City 17 and its dreamlike yellow sunlight better than the prosaic realism of going out into the grey rain to fetch today's mail. It's a more exciting atmosphere. You don't get that by portraying 'reality' as-seen. You need to distort, over-focus on certain aspects, etc.

Justin's House, CBeebies brand new comedy starring Justin Fletcher is finally here! We caught up with the show's two runners, Beth and Elliot to find out what it's been like working on the first ever CBeebies show to be filmed in front of a live studio audience...
So what does being a runner on Justin's House involve?
B: Basically, being a runner involves assisting the production team however we're needed.
E: That can be anything from general fetching and carrying, to sending CDs and lyric sheets to the local schools involved so that they can learn the songs for the show. We're also on 'Little Monster Duty' every other week meaning I get to take part in the show and help our puppeteer, Kat operate Little Monster, who pops up all over the place in Justin's House causing trouble.
What's Justin's House all about?
B: Justin's House is a slapstick, pantomime style comedy, and probably the closest thing CBeebies has to a sitcom! It's filmed in front of a live audience of 150 children which is a new experience for all of us...
E: In the first episode Justin (messy, prone to slapstick accidents) moves into his new house where he meets Robert, his extremely tidy live-in robot helper, and Little Monster, who the kids go crazy for - especially when she's being chased around the set by Justin and Robert! Every episode Dee Livery, (the delivery lady) comes to deliver the 'Justin Times', Justin's own personal newspaper. It tells him what's happening in Justin Town that day or which special guest is coming to visit - each episode it's a different CBeebies star, prepare yourself for some very funny cameos..
B: Throughout the rest of the series we see them play games, sing songs, cause chaos and throw a few custard pies along the way. .
What's an average day like for you in the studio?
B: An average day in the studio is very busy but great fun. In the morning we rehearse both shows with the cameras for the first time, which is amazing considering that only gives one morning to rehearse both episodes with actors and the camera crew together. We get the audience in and seated (no mean feat with 150 3-5 year olds!) then the filming begins. During the week our researchers Anna and Ellie visit them at school to teach them the songs for each episode so on the day the whole audience can sing along and get really involved.
E: It still really amazes me how much impact the live audience has on the show as their laughter and reaction to what they're seeing on stage really breathes new life into the shows that we've been rehearsing all week.
Do you have a favourite episode?
B: My favourite episode is called 'The Tidy Prize', where Chris Jarvis visits to show off about the Tidy Prize he has won for being the Tidiest person in Justin Town. Robert the Robot loves tidying, and is put out by Chris' Tidy Prize and his top-of-the-range feather duster 'The Featherard 500'. Chris tries to teach Robert and Justin how to be as tidy but, they quickly realise that being tidy is actually really boring and get Little Monster on the case to trick Chris into getting really messy!
E: I really enjoyed 'Get Fit Justin', where Justin, spurred on by Robert and Katie from 'I Can Cook', decides it's time for a healthier lifestyle. There's a sequence where Justin runs to the shops to pick up salad ingredients only to come back each time to discover that they were already in the house. That whole scene really brought home what a funny guy Justin is and his wheezing and panting to the various camera positions showed you just how much stuff he has to remember in a scene.
What have you most enjoyed about working on Justin's house so far?
B: I think helping Kat do Little Monster in the first episode is still my favourite moment of the series. This one of my first jobs in Children's TV, so it was really warming to be able to see how much the audience enjoyed the show and to hear them go mad for Justin and Little Monster.
E: The evening before we filmed the 'custard' episode with Auntie Justina, the cast and crew of the show gathered in the loading bay of the studio to watch Justin practice the show's end scene. This involved him placing a custard-filled bowler hat on his head that projected a stream of custard into the air. I remember standing watching and thinking that a couple of months before that moment I was working behind a bar and now I'm involved in something where I get to watch Mr. Tumble shoot custard from his head! It was a surreal but very enjoyable moment.

Join the discussion...
My daughter loves watching the show her birthdays coming up I wanted to surprise her, i wanted to bring her to the studio and she could be in the auddiens. she loves wathing justins house.
I would like to know how to get the tickets to Justin house could you please help me with this luv Fuzia
how can i get my children to go to justin house please anyone known
How can I take my children to Justin's House? Nothing'll make them more happy.
Just to add to all of the other comments - please open up Justin's house to children from all areas. Don't want to complain, but I agree it would be better not to pan to the audience if the tickets aren't open to all, as a previous writer suggested. However, would much prefer that tickets were available for sale. Thanks.
I must admit i had a quick search for tickets to the show as my lad loves the show , now would everyone please calm down if you will take a look at the audience it is obviously School classes from the small number of adults that you will see. Can you imagine the carnage of opening it up in the studio to family's with all the bags with lunchs in ,and all the scrambling for the best seats along with the mums forgetting to turn their phones off and wanting to take pictures . I'm sure a tour will follow soon so please no more begging for tickets and moaning that the show is only open to schools locally to the show . BBC carry on the good work with this and the many other programmes that you do as it gives added value to the license fee.
my 2 year old loves justins house,( something special and anything else with justin in she even has a justin cd in the car!!) and would love to see the show live but as it seems this is not possible at the moment i have a different request and that is please, please, please make some new episodes of justins house as we (the whole family) know this series by heart!!!
Are there any plans to extend to nurseries in other parts of the country? Seems a shame it's only local schools.
hi.....i love justin's house and so do my 2 children 3 and 4.....we would love to know how to get tickets for it or a cbeebies panto. Justin flecher is great, he can enertain my kids for hours and thats not easy, we enjoy all his programs, and my son thinks Andy is great (Andy's Adventures) too. Maybe tickets can be purchased through schools or childrens centres for cbeebies shows, pls let me know, the school children would to meet some cbeebies characters.
Hi My both 6yr old and 2 yr old simply love justin house and i was wondering how i can get them to be an audience for this show.
any info would be useful
Hi my daughter adores Justin's house, how can we apply for tickets to watch the show live? Many thanks Diana
Thank you for your comments.
We realise that there is great interest in attending the Justin House studios from our audience and from the programme makers point of view it is essential to have live reactions from children. The audiences help Justin and the writers get comedy that children really laugh at.
Some people have asked why all our studio recordings are in Salford. The cost of making the show in different locations would be very high, but due to the number of requests from around the UK, we are looking into the possibility of touring the show in the future. In the meantime, the second series will be made in Salford while we do the necessary costings for a tour.
Others have asked why we only invite school groups and not individual children with a parent/carer. We require audiences of children as opposed to individual children with accompanying adults and by only inviting school groups we can offer the maximum amount of children the opportunity to take part and see a studio audience primarily composed of children.
While we looked into an open invitation to children of Reception and Year 1 age at any school to attend our studios in Salford, a number of issues made this impossible:
1. We record in school time and have a duty to ensure children are not taken out of school for whole days.
2. While the children are not making a performance and only members of the audience we observe the same guidelines provided for children working as performers in the entertainment industry. This governs the times that travel can commence and so we think it is inappropriate to ask young children to travel long distances.
We hope this helps explain the decision that we made to restrict our invitation to audiences in an area close to Salford.
We are holding a ballot on the 17th April to select schools for the second series, if your school or organisation meets the criteria you can apply to be included here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/showsandtours/shows/static/nonsa
Everyone who has emailed the CBeebies inbox and fits the criteria has been automatically entered into the ballot.
We are wondering if there was any way we could get hold of tickets to watch Justins House, we are big fans!!!!
Justin's House must be the greatest thing since sliced bread! Justin Fletcher is ever so excellent at what he does. My husband and I secretly enjoys Justin's House as much as our 1 and 1/2 year old.
May I echo all the strongly positive comments here regarding Justin's House? It is so refreshing to see our (nearly) three years old son sitting on the sofa and laughing out loud at the talented antics of Justin Fletcher and his fellow crew. Our boy first absolutely loved Gigglebiz: the slapstick style was right up his street. Now that his language skills are improving he can follow the more complex stories and situations that really make Justin's House so special and interestingly unique in UK-originated children's TV programmes. No violence, swearing, 'sexualisation', strobe lights or animation. Just real people, being real nice. The theme music is (like Gigglebiz) very catchy and kids just love that opening song from the moment the red button is pressed! Hats off to you all at CBeebies for commissioning the series - and may I also plead for you to continue pursuing a live touring show. I'm sure it would be a sell-out!
would love my daughter to part take in the audience of justins house. shes 2 and loves the show. brought her to belfast to justin switch on xmas lights she loved seeing him x
I have a 3 year old daughter who absolutely loves this programme. She keeps telling me she is going to go to Justin's House when she is bigger!! I was really dissapointed to read that you have to live in a 20 mile radius of salford to apply for the audience. We live in Cardiff, please consider schools/nurseries from other areas of the uk, I'm sure there would be a huge interest, or maybe consider selling tickets?
We LOVE Little Monster (me and my kid!)

|That's me on the gurney being wheeled
into the Emergency Room.
Then Tuesday came in...like a wrecking ball, sans Miley.
Everything was pretty much normal. I left the house for work in the morning, ran around town getting information for the nightly broadcast, and everything was going according to plan. Around lunch time, I stopped home to fix something to eat before heading back out to the streets.
Out of nowhere, my back decided I wouldn't return to the streets with the same vim and vigor from the morning. I sat down on our comfy couch, and then sitting turned into a full-on laying down on the couch.
My lower back was extremely unhappy with me. I popped a few ibuprofen and figured I'd be fine once I left the house and got back to work. The pills kind of helped, but I wasn't exactly a happy panda the rest of the day.
Enter Wednesday morning, when I experienced moderate difficulty getting out of bed. I was sore and my back sounded every alarm possible by activating every nerve in my lower back. Oh man, that was not fun.
I managed to get the kids to school, but I was really quite sore. I waited until 10am before I decided I wasn't going to make my 10:30am interview. I cancelled that one and called the station to inform them I wasn't going to make it in. I popped some pain killers and hoped for the best.
The best did not happen.
After laying down for some rest, I arose at noon in search of a bite to eat. Getting out of bed was extremely difficult this time. It was similar to playing a video game on the easy setting the night before and changing the setting to the hardest level.
My back would not let me stand up without a fight. Eventually, I managed to get on my feet with the support of the dresser, but man, was that ever challenging. I returned to the bed for a couple of hours when I arose to Nature's call at 2:30. This time I could not stand up at all.
Try as I might, every attempt to stand was met with excruciating pain; the kind that makes you want to curl up in a little ball and cry for mommy. Yeah, that's what I said. It was awful, and awfully frustrating.
By the end of the struggle, I ended up on the floor, where I remained for the next eight hours until I finally caved and called for an ambulance to transport me to the hospital. It was embarrassing, for sure. I was carried out of my house on a stretcher, placed on a gurney, loaded into the back of the ambulance and carted off to the Commonwealth Healthcare Center.
Two shots, a pill, and nine hours later, I was back in my car with my wife en route to Casa de Ruszala. Standing upright was akin to a Jenga tower missing an awful lot of blocks. Every step was strategically placed so as not to shift my body weight too quickly from one foot to the other.
For the next couple of days, life was rough. I stayed home Wednesday and Thursday, but I needed to get back to work on Friday because I was getting tired of laying around all day. It wasn't easy working while numbed by pain killers, muscle relaxants, and anti-inflammatory pills. It wasn't easy walking around the office, getting in and out of my chair, getting in and out of cars, and between the pain and the pills, it wasn't easy maintaining focus.
Now I'm working a combination of modern and traditional medicine to get better. It's kind of an East meets West approach to recovery. While I'm resting and popping pills, I'm also receiving acupuncture treatments. We're talking needles, suction cups, electric muscle stimulation; the works.
I'm still feeling the pain and it's still pretty intense at times, but I'm learning to deal with it. I think I've almost got the step-by-step body positioning to get me in and out of bed with only mild to moderate pain.
That's a start.
I've missed a couple of great days for running and biking because of this, but I think it's what I needed. It's kind of along the lines of, "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone." In the meantime, I'm eating healthy to help keep the weight down, but I have snuck in a couple of treats along the way (ice cream, baby!).
My appetite has been much smaller than usual. I'm sure that the pain is part of the equation, but the pills I'm popping have to be the main source of my hunger games.
I won't be in the weight room anytime soon, but the acupuncture doc said I should be feeling better in about a week. In the meantime, I'll head to the gym on Monday for a step on my nemesis, the ol' scale, to see how negatively the lack of activity has affected my progress.

I feared that Islamists were gaining a foothold in the Middle-East and that the Arab Spring was turning into a bleak winter, at least for Arab Christians; but if "Revolt of the Spooks" is correct, then the Middle East may becoming completely unglued right before our eyes.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Keywords: President Obama, Darrell Issa, Jason Chaffetz, Cover up, Benghazi, Libya, Video, Congressional hearings, Michael Terheyden
KNOXVILLE, TN (Catholic Online) - According to Bill Gertz, what is happening in the Middle East is more ominous than anything I had feared up till now. I had feared that Islamists were gaining a foothold in the Middle East since President Obama took office and that the Arab Spring was turning into a bleak winter, at least for Arab Christians; but if the information in his article, "Revolt of the Spooks," is correct, then the Middle East may becoming completely unglued right before our eyes.
Bill Gertz is no novice. He is the author of several books and a veteran reporter. He has also lectured at various universities, the Defense Department, the FBI, and the CIA. His specialty includes intelligence, national security, defense, and government secrets. In 2004, Gertz reported that Syria, possibly with Russian assistance, transferred Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction to Syria, a question which still remains open for some people.
Now, Gertz is reporting that officers at U.S. intelligence agencies believe important intelligence concerning terrorism is being covered up in what they describe as "a Middle East policy failure by Obama." The cover up includes "numerous classified reports" detailing Iranian support of terrorism in the region, the penetration of al Qaeda into Egypt and Libya in recent months, and that the attack on the American embassy in Benghazi in September was part of a "string of terror attacks and not a spontaneous uprising against an anti-Muslim video produced in the U.S."
Gertz writes, "Officials said that the administration appeared to engage in a disinformation campaign aimed at distancing the president personally during the peak of the presidential election campaign from the disaster in Benghazi, where numerous warning[s] of an attack were ignored, resulting in the deaths of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other officials."
According to these intelligence officers, Susan Rice, the ambassador to the United Nations, and White House Press Secretary, Jay Carney, were given false information by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence ". . . in order to promote the excuse that the obscure video was the cause of the attack, and not the Islamic concept of jihad."
You might recall that the Obama administration injected neutral language into our official defense strategy. For instance, the "Quadrennial Homeland Security Review" and the "Quadrennial Defense Review," both congressionally mandated documents, apparently no longer use the words "Islam," "Islamic" or "Islamist." And Janet Napolitano, the Secretary of Homeland Security, prefers to use the term "man-caused disasters" instead of terrorism.
During his nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, President Obama said that "al Qaeda is on the path to defeat." But the intelligence officers say, "The Obama Administration is afraid to admit al Qaeda is running rampant throughout the region because it would expose the truth instead of what President Obama so pompously spouted during the Democratic Convention."
To make matters worse, Gertz writes, "The administration, in particular, wants to keep hidden solid intelligence showing that the terrorist group behind the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans is now flourishing under the Muslim Brotherhood regime of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi."
According to Gertz, President Mursi released Muhammad al-Zawahiri, the brother of the present head of al Qaeda, from jail even though he had been sentenced to death under President Mubarak for terrorism in Egypt. Gertz also says intelligence reports indicate that the prestigious Al-Azhar University in Cairo ". . . is emerging as a covert base for al Qaeda organizational and training activities for a jihadi network consisting of many nationalities."
Gertz also informs us that al Qaeda terrorists based in Egypt were recently dispatched to Libya and Syria in order to infiltrate Libyan militia groups and Syrian opposition forces opposing the Bashar al Assad regime. In addition, Gertz says Egypt and Iran are working together to support terrorism throughout the region. He writes, "operatives from Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security, the main spy service, and from Iran's Quds Force paramilitary group and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps are also facilitating al Qaeda terrorists based in Egypt."
None of this should surprise us. The Muslim Brotherhood has been a radical organization since its inception. It was founded by Hasan al-Banna in1928 as an Islamist religious, political, and social movement. In his book, Faith, Reason, and the War against Jihadism, George Weigel writes that al-Banna believed "After cleansing the House of Islam, true Muslims would cleanse their territories of infidels and unbelievers. . . ." For al-Banna, "Islam was 'both a religion and a state,' such that the Qur'an and the sword were 'inseparable.'"
Al-Banna's vision did not change through the years. During the Second World War, the Muslim Brotherhood sided with the Nazis, and they supported terrorist activities in Palestine. They also assimilated the Nazi's views against the Jews and Western societies into their reform movement. The Muslim Brotherhood were also implicated in a failed plot to assassinate Gamal Abdel Nasser, Egypt's leader in 1965, and in the successful assassination of Nasser's successor, Anwar Sadat, in 1980.
Consequently, it appears that President Obama's support of the Muslim Brotherhood and his intervention in Egypt and in Libya reflect poor judgment. Peace in the region seems a distant memory. Hope for an Arab Spring looks more like a child's fantasy at each passing day. Israel, our best ally in the Middle East and the only real democracy in the region, has not been threatened to this extent since Egypt and Syria crossed the cease-fire lines in the Sinai and Golan Heights and attacked Israel during Yom Kippur in 1973. And America has been forced to close her embassies in some Muslim nations.
Congressional hearings are scheduled for Wednesday, October 10 to investigate the factors which led up to the attack on our embassies in Egypt and Libya and to determine if there is a cover up. If Gertz is correct, the President of the United States is lying, and he must be held accountable; for people have died as a result of all the turmoil over the video, and many of us could suffer a similar fate in the near future if al Qaeda is not stopped before they attack us again.
For Catholic Americans, this is about more than a cover up and the Middle East becoming unglued. The safety of Arab Christians has also been placed in jeopardy as a result of President Obama's actions. Thus, it is also a time for us to pray for the safety of our Christian brethren living in the Middle East (and throughout the Muslim world) and for peace in the entire region, for all things are possible with God.
Michael Terheyden was born into a Catholic family, but that is not why he is a Catholic. He is a Catholic because he believes that truth is real, that it is beautiful and good, and that the fullness of truth is in the Catholic Church. However, he knows that God's grace operating throughout his life is the main reason he is a Catholic. He is greatly blessed to share his faith and his life with his beautiful wife, Dorothy. They have four grown children and three grandchildren.

Donation Also Includes Genetic Research Data to Identify New Tools for
Veterinarians, Enhancing Cat Health
DENVER, Aug. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Morris Animal Foundation (MAF) has received a donation of $1 million from Hill's Pet Nutrition, accompanied by a donation of ground-breaking genetic research data developed by Hill's researchers. These donations will assist MAF in the continuation of its 60-year history of funding research to help cats live happier, healthier lives. Since its founding, MAF has been at the forefront of efforts to advance cat health, and in November 2008, MAF will launch a global research effort on behalf of cats.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20040701/LAMAFLOGO)
Dr. Patricia Olson, MAF president and CEO, comments on cats being slighted in health research funding and veterinary care. "It is a sad irony that cats are the most popular pet in our country, yet far too little research funding and veterinary care is being provided to meet cats' unique health needs," Dr. Olson says. "Thanks to Hill's extraordinary donation to MAF, cats will be given a dramatically better opportunity for a long, healthy life."
Research emanating from these genetic tools should provide veterinarians with increased knowledge and capabilities to prevent and treat a wide range of cat diseases. Cat lovers everywhere can celebrate this milestone in feline health. It is hoped this increased focus on feline health and public awareness of the effort, will motivate cat owners to take their pets to the veterinarian more often. Presently, as documented by industry information, a large number of cats living in the United States do not receive regular health checkups and preventive veterinary care.
Part of this donation will establish an international coalition for
feline genomic research. This coalition will advise MAF on the pot

A look at recent releases on Netflix and Blu-ray, including "Life Itself," "Annie," "Into the Woods," "The Lady From Shanghai," and more.
Marlon Brando didn't win the Academy Award in 1951 for his acting in "A Streetcar Named Desire." The Oscar went to Humphrey Bogart, for "The African Queen." But you could make a good case that no performance had more influence on modern film acting styles than Brando's work as Stanley Kowalski, Tennessee Williams' rough, smelly, sexually charged hero.
Before this role, there was usually a certain restraint in American movie performances. Actors would portray violent emotions, but you could always sense to some degree a certain modesty that prevented them from displaying their feelings in raw nakedness.
Brando held nothing back, and within a few years his was the style that dominated Hollywood movie acting. This movie led directly to work by Brando's heirs such as Montgomery Clift, James Dean, Jack Nicholson and Sean Penn.
The film itself, hailed as realistic in 1951, now seems claustrophobic and mannered - and all the more effective for that.
The Method actors, Brando foremost, always claimed their style was a way to reach realism in a performance, but the Method led to super-realism, to a heightened emotional content that few "real" people would be able to sustain for long, or convincingly.
Look at the way Brando, as Kowalski, stalks through his little apartment in the French Quarter. He is, the dialogue often reminds us, an animal. He wears a torn T-shirt that reveals muscles and sweat. He smokes and drinks in a greedy way; he doesn't have the good manners that 1951 performances often assumed. (As a contrast, look at Bogart's grimy riverboat captain in "The African Queen." He's also meant to be rude and crude, but beneath the oil and sweat you can glimpse Bogart's own natural elegance.) At the same time, there is a feline grace in Brando's movements: He's a man, but not a clod, and in one scene, while he's sweet-talking his wife, Stella (Kim Hunter), he absent-mindedly picks a tiny piece of lint from her sweater. If you can take that moment and hold it in your mind with the famous scene where he assaults Stella's sister, Blanche DuBois (Vivien Leigh), you can see the freedom Brando is giving to Stanley Kowalski - and the range.
When "A Streetcar Named Desire" was first released, it created a firestorm of controversy. It was immoral, decadent, vulgar and sinful, its critics cried. And that was after substantial cuts had already been made in the picture, at the insistence of Warner Bros., driven on by the industry's own censors. Elia Kazan, who directed the film, fought the cuts and lost. For years the missing footage - only about five minutes in length, but crucial - was thought lost. But this 1993 restoration splices together Kazan's original cut, and we can see how daring the film really was.
The 1951 cuts took out dialogue that suggested Blanche DuBois was promiscuous, perhaps a nymphomaniac attracted to young boys. It also cut much of the intensity from Stanley's final assault of Blanche. Other cuts were more subtle. Look at the early scene, for example, where Stanley plants himself on the street outside his apartment and screams, "Stella!" In the censored version, she stands up inside, pauses, starts down the stairs, looks at him, continues down the stairs, and they embrace. In the uncut version, only a couple of shots are different - but what a difference they make! Stella's whole demeanor seems different, seems charged with lust. In the apartment, she responds more visibly to his voice. On the stairs, there are closeups as she descends, showing her face almost blank with desire. And the closing embrace, which looks in the cut version as if she is consoling him, looks in the uncut version as if she has abandoned herself to him.
Another scene lost crucial dialogue. Stella tells her sister, "Stanley's always smashed things. Why, on our wedding night, as soon as we came in here, he snatched off one of my slippers and rushed about the place smashing the light bulbs with it." After Blanche is suitably shocked, Stella, leaning back with a funny smile, says "I was sort of thrilled by it." All that dialogue was trimmed, perhaps because it provided a glimpse into psychic realms the censors were not prepared to acknowledge.
The 1993 version of the film extends the conversation that Blanche has with a visiting newspaper boy, making it clear she is strongly attracted to him. It also adds details from Blanche's description of the suicide of her young husband; it is now more clear, although still somewhat oblique, that he was a homosexual, and she killed him with her taunts.
Despite the overwhelming power of Brando's performance, "Streetcar" is one of the great ensemble pieces in the movies. Kim Hunter's Stella can be seen in this version as less of an enigma; we can see more easily why she was attracted to Stanley. Vivien Leigh's Blanche is a sexually hungry woman posing as a sad, wilting flower; the earlier version covered up some of the hunger. And Karl Malden's Mitch - Blanche's hapless gentleman caller - is more of a sap, now that we understand more fully who he is really courting, and why.
The movie was shot, of course, in black and white. Dramas made in 1951 nearly always were. Color would have been fatal to the special tone. It would have made the characters seem too real, when we need them exactly like this, black and gray and silver, shadows projected on the screens of their own dreams and needs. Watching the film is like watching a Shakespearean tragedy. Of course the outcome is predestined, but everything is in the style by which the characters arrive there. Watch Brando absently scratching himself on his first entrance. Look at the way he occupies the little apartment as if it were a pair of dirty shorts. Then watch him flick that piece of lint.

Culver City, CA 90232
Best Of
- Delivery, Patio/Sidewalk Dining, Takeout
- Reservations Accepted
El Baron in Culver City is a pupuseria with a night club problem. See, the steaming rounds of freshly fried masa, pushed to the limit inside with pork skins, cheese, loroco and more, are among the better versions you'll find west of the 101. But just behind the simple tables and Tupperware containers full of salsa is a full-on homemade nightclub. The dance floor isn't much bigger than a living room and the cheeky lasers, strobes and neon beams will have you believing you stumbled into a quinceañera dance party at someone's house. And you're not far off, considering the upbeat music selection with eggaeton influences and the chatty uncles who like to hang at the edge of the scene.

The Raptors have "ambitious broadcast plans and hopes to wrap up" its TV deal quickly "to start building what it expects to be a major promotional vehicle for the club." Raptors VP/Communications Tom Mayenknecht: "In an ideal world, we'd like to be in a situation where we have our radio and television deals in place by the beginning of the 1994-95 season." That means November 1, "and that's also unrealistic." Christmas may be a more "reachable target, but the point is the negotiations have become a priority and talks are getting more serious by the day." Up for negotiation are national, local and cable TV deals. Nationally, the NBA handles the talks on a 12-game schedule and the league has already met with CTV, CBC and TSN. On the local level, the NBA has granted the Raptors permission to broadcast 41 games. The league has defined the Raptors' "region" as Ontario; the Grizzlies have British Columbia as a protected area (Rob Longley, TORONTO SUN, 9/23). NO SUPERSTATIONS: "Because of the absence of a regional sports network in Canada, the Raptors don't have the same range of distribution as most U.S. teams." Mayenknecht: "We are in a situation where we are all dressed up with nowhere to go on cable." TSN is not an option because it is considered a national network, though it has "recently hinted at looking into regional programming" (Rob Longley, TORONTO SUN, 9/23).

Analyzing the Impact of Relay Station Characteristics on Uplink Performance in Cellular Networks
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Uplink users in cellular networks, such as UMTS/HSPA, located at the edge of the cell generally suffer from poor channel conditions. Deploying intermediate relay nodes is seen as a promising approach towards extending cell coverage. This paper focuses on the role of packet scheduling in cellular networks with relay nodes. In particular, two uplink scheduling schemes deploying the relay functionality in different ways are compared in performance to a reference scenario where relaying is not used. The authors derive expressions which characterize for each of the two relay-enabled schedulers the service area of a relay station as a function of the relay location and transmit power.

The campus student center may once have been the place students passed through on the way to their next class. But these facilities have evolved into bustling destinations that foster campus culture and community.
The campus student center may once have been the place students passed through on the way to their next class. But these facilities have evolved into bustling destinations that foster campus culture and community.
A 46,000-square-foot abandoned furniture warehouse has been given new life as the continuing education and industrial center at Randolph Community College in Asheboro, N.C.
While a new dorm or learning space might be needed or desirable on campus, facing down the associated headaches of time, mess, and expense can overshadow the benefits the finished project might bring.
Gone are the days when a basic classroom with a podium and desks was considered an acceptable learning space. In fact, according to CDW-G's "Learn Now, Lecture Later" report released in June 2012, 47 percent of instructors surveyed said they are moving beyond the lecture-only model.
The new Center of Excellence for Coral Reef Ecosystems Research at Nova Southeastern University (Fla.) is believed by officials to be the largest research facility dedicated to this research area in the nation.
At The Ohio State University, the term "master plan" is obsolete.
With any campus building, what's on the inside counts just as much—and probably more—than what's on the outside. This is especially true with residence halls, which must include a balance of private and shared spaces.
At San Diego State University, construction is under way on a 100,000-square-foot renovation and 30,000-square-foot expansion of the Storm and Nasatir building complex, built in 1957.
Prior to 2011, the sports and events facilities at the University of Mary Washington (Va.) were nothing to write home about.
DeafSpace architectural design elements aid visual communication and help reduce eye strain and fatigue for deaf and hard of hearing people. A new Living and Learning Residence Hall, dubbed LLRH6, is the second construction project incorporating DeafSpace at Gallaudet University (D.C.).
A community of 160 two- to five-bedroom cottages is under construction near The University of Mississippi campus. Partners in the $37.6-million, 4,700-bed project are EdR (majority owner and manager upon the fall 2013 completion) and Landmark Properties (handling development and construction).
Two under-utilized spaces were transformed into highly trafficked, vibrant areas on Chestnut Hill College's campus in Philadelphia.
Touch screens are taking over—and people expect to see them. In the years since Apple first popularized the technology with the iPhone in 2007, it has become almost rare to meet someone who doesn't own a touchscreen smartphone or tablet.

I have been brewing with extract and have done some partial mashes. Helped a buddy with his first all grain batch. I've been using Designing Great Beers to figure my numbers out and have done it all with a pencil and pad so I hope it all works out. I think I'm gonna do a Pumpkin Ale for my first all grain batch and after that a Porter. I've got the Porter recipe all worked out and need to work out a recipe for the Pumpkin Ale seeing as pumpkins are available now. Here is my rig I finally got leak free. Its been a bit of a process. This is just a mock up. Wish me luck.
Looks great. The 'by hand' recipe stuff is kinda fun at first, but pony up for Beersmith or something. You'll never look back. Congrats!!
Looks like how we all started out in one way or another. You will be fine and I bet you make some really good beer. This is just the beginning you will go crazy and want to upgrade you system, it never stops...lol

Piano sheet music that you can download, view or print for free
"The piano keys are black and white but they sound like a million colors in your mind" - Katie Meluna said...
The PianoForge team is made entirely out of piano music lovers. We aim to share the quality material that we have with every passionate man and woman on the globe. We want to help you get closer to the music you love, make you enjoy playing the piano and provide you with free sheets in order to do just that.
The relationship between you and your instrument can be made closer by exercising different songs. We have hundreds of sheets available just for you, in order for you to further your talent and experience.
We aim to make you a better piano player and, why not, even get you to become a professional musician.
PianoForge is intended to be a substitute for a instructor. We want to help even beginners to get more acquainted with the piano. Our sheets range from the easy category to even the great classical ones that are harder to learn and finally master.
We, at the PianoForge team, are constantly working on updating our artists and sheets, with the help of our large user community.

The community is young and active. We all love playing the piano as well and we want to share our passion for music with the thousands of people around the world.
The story behind PianoForge is the following: As a group of piano enthusiasts, we started off as amateurs searching for new songs to play. Not finding a friendly website to list all sorts of piano sheets, we thought about selecting the material that we found and share it with others.
The idea for PianoForge was born and then it was just a matter of time and effort before we put the website together. Now, thanks to our users that constantly give us feedback, material, and requests, we are highly active and aim to help everyone in evolving into a better and better piano player.
PianoForge is intended to be an educational website and the material listed here is free of charge, because we do not want to charge people for learning. Music belongs to the people!
All the piano sheets listed here are works of different people around the world and we respect their work, this is why we have formed the Terms of Service, in order to protect ourselves against copyright claims and we clearly state that users shouldn't upload any material that is copyrighted.

The Next Best Man
Reviewed by
Mark G. McLaughlin
In The Next Best Man, Bob Erlich continues the adventures of Eli Rose, the character he introduced in the Ian Fleming-style espionage story, No Vacancy. Although billed as the second novel in a trilogy, The Next Best Man reads more like the third in a series, a series in which the second work has gone missing.
No Vacancy is an exciting, fresh, action-packed adventure story set in South Florida, Cuba, and Costa Rica in the late 1960s. The Next Best Man picks up the story in Costa Rica twenty years later.
Throughout the book, Eli drops teasing gems about what happened during those missing two decades, and how those experiences have left him a sour, jaded, and semi-retired owner of a run-down beach bar in the back of nowhere, Costa Rica. Were this novel the reader's first introduction to Eli Rose, those hints at a mysterious past could be sloughed off as backstory. Those who enjoyed No Vacancy, however, will likely be disappointed that the author jumped ahead to 1989 in his second installment.
The Next Best Man, taken alone, is a decent read—the kind of book one enjoys on a plane or train.
While not terribly original, the story of an ex-CIA contractor-cum-mercenary lured out of a boring, self-imposed retirement by a gorgeous, Oxford-educated Chinese woman to retrieve a stolen antique, at least gets Eli off his sandy beach.
Although there are two brief encounters with assassins early on, there is more travel than action in the novel. Eli repeatedly tells himself that things are not as they seem with his new client, yet despite having the proverbial "bad feeling about this," he willingly stumbles into the inevitable trap. The only surprise is that it takes so long for the trap to be sprung.
Readers meet the bad guys late in the novel. They are less characters than caricatures from an old black-and-white movie. The trio of villains includes an elderly, yet spry Chinese millionaire, a greasily corrupt Communist Party official, and a faux-genteel opium warlord named "Old Tiger."
There are the obligatory torture and fight scenes, an escape, a battle, and a final confrontation with the villain. There are a few little twists but no big surprises. While entertaining and nicely written, the story is predictable.
In No Vacancy, Erlich invented some authentic characters. With the exception of Eli, none of them appear in The Next Best Man, at least not until the final chapter, and then only as a convenient set-up for the next book in the series, Morgan 41.
That brief reappearance of the best of those characters from the first book, including Vicente Amaron, plus the return of the story to its original Miami roots, suggests that the third book in the series will be more like the first—an exciting and memorable novel.
