Back when I was growing up there was a young filmmaker known for great movies like Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T. – The Extra-Terrestrial. These were wonderful movies. The first was scary, the second was thought-provoking and the third was excellent family entertainment. As the 1980′s came along, this filmmaker, Steven Spielberg, made other fine works, like the Indiana Jones series and in the 1990′s gave us Jurassic Park. Then he discovered World War II, and that was basically then end of him making "genre" films that appealed to a wide audience.
But apparently I wasn't the only one who had fond memories of Spielberg's earlier career. JJ Abrams, noted as the man who made Lost and directed the Star Trek reboot, seems to also have those sorts of good memories. So he teamed up with Spielberg and made Super 8, a film which, aside from the modern special effects, would not seem out of place in Spielberg's resume.
Super 8 centers around events in small-town Ohio in 1979. Joe Lamb is a young boy whose mother has died at the start of the film. Four months later he and his friends are making a zombie movie when they inadvertently bear witness to a massive (and extremelyunrealistic), train derailment. They escape with their lives, unaware that something else has escaped, too. Soon all the town's dogs disappear, only to turn up in nearby towns. The Air Force arrives to clean up the train mess and begins basically overtaking the town (and get away with massive lies, because if there's one thing we know about the 1970′s, it's that investigative journalism didn't really exist and trust in the government was absolute). Then various items and people start to disappear and the action gets ramped-up to eleven, leading to an unnecessarily action-heavy third act.
At its core this is a movie about the relationship between a young boy, his friends and a girl that he's starting to develop a crush on. The movie is at its finest when it shows these kids just being kids. When it shows them hanging out chatting in a diner and teasing each other like kids do. When it shows them sneaking out of their homes to film at night. When it shows them being appalled/overjoyed that they're actually breaking into their school during summer vacation. These moments, as well as the ones highlighting Joe's somewhat complicated relationship with his father, also the town deputy and person in charge after the sherrif disappears), are the true heart of the film.
Those moments also make the moments of action, which include the military going nuts in the middle of the town, completely unnecessary. Those scenes add nothing to the plot, really, aside from creating some artificial peril for our heroes to deal with. Really one could edit out all the military elements and be left with a good, solid, summer science fiction film for the whole family. Also, having gone nuts with the action sequence, I feel that Abrams missed a really opportunity to kill off one of the kids. Harsh? Maybe, but it might have added something to the film. But consider the one of the pivotal moments of Jaws is when a six-year-old boy is gruesomely eaten by the shark.
I also need to make mention of Abrams as a director. He's good at what he does. He's very good at what he does. But he's never met a lens flare he didn't like, and frankly it's really, really distracting. If you thought scenes in Star Trek overused the lens flare, just you wait. Abrams really goes nuts with it in this movie and it does not add anything to the film.
Ultimately this is a very good movie, and I'd said it's suitable for pretty much the entire family.
What did you think of this review?
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
Abrams has refused to reveal the plot of the film as he wants to keep it a mystery and let the images speak for themselves.[citation needed] What has been confirmed is that it will take place in 1979 and it will be a homage/tribute to Spielberg's '70s and '80s science fiction films with a mystery and supernatural feel from Abrams.
Abrams revealed the plot will follow a group of children in the 1970s as they film a movie with a Super 8 camera but while they are filming, they spot an alien escape from an Area 51 cargo train and it runs loose in their small town.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_8_(film)

Inter Milan insist they're not ready to sell star defender Douglas Maicon to Manchester United.
Manchester City are also chasing the Brazilian, but in a statement yesterday, Inter said: "With regards to the quotes in this morning's newspapers – quotes which Caliendo himself later denied – Inter technical director Marco Branca confirms the utmost conviction and satisfaction with Maicon's contract.
"That satisfaction is mutual, both for the club and the player himself. It is understandable during the break for international duty that transfer theories can find space in the media, but the situation described in the newspapers today simply does not exist."

Last October, our columnists the Fug Girls asked: "Can New York help save Lindsay Lohan?" Rumor had it at the time that she was going to be spending more time here, living out of her apartment at the tony Atelier building in Hell's Kitchen. (Nick Lachey lives there, too!) But it turns out we had to wait longer than expected to find the answer to the Fugs' question. Well, the wait is over! According to Ben Widdicombe's "Gatecrasher" column, LiLo has moved into her apartment — and, appropriately, she threw a chem-free party with her younger sister, Ali, in the building's rooftop party space to celebrate. How do we know this? Because Lindsay's friends over at the Shadow PR agency were there and they took photos to send to the press. In the staged pics, she really looks swell! (And not in the nasty, "YOU'RE A HOG" way "Page Six" said she looked "swell" in a photo today.) Anyway, we know she's not only staying at home and going to bed early: We've already spotted her out on the town. But we still think there's hope that the Big Apple will help her and her tagalong sister keep their heads on straight. After all, it's done wonders for the Olsen twins.

Just replaced the tie rod ends on my car, which brought up a bunch of questions in my mind. My Bentley manual is totally worthless, unless the only adjustment to the front end is "toe in". Looking at the components on the car I would have to say that is the only adjustment to the front can be done. Is this true??? No shims or anything? What about camber and caster angle?
If so, I have another question… I can adjust both tie rod ends to bring the front into alignment at 1/8" toe in, one way out to the end of the threads and the other to the opposite. In other words, short on one end of the steering rack and long on the other. This just doesn't sit well with me. There has got to be something else to get the front end correct.
I had an alignment done this summer and watched the guy the whole time. He struggled to find info on the car, made a few adjustments and said "the computer shows that the adjustments made bring it into good range" or something to that effect. The way he said it just got me thinking that he wasn't sure.
I can jig a way to measure that the toe-in is at 1/8" but am not sure that is the correct way to go.
Any advice would be appreciated!!!!

Submitted by Dr.
James Robinson, Professor and Extension Entomologist,
Extension Center at Overton, Texas
IDENTIFICATION: Larvae of the orange-striped oakworm are
charcoal black with orange-yellow stripes. The head is jet black
and the segment just behind the head is bright orange-yellow. The
second thoracic segment (right behind the head) have long, black
spines. These spines or "horns" are used to scare predators
away and do not have the capacity to sting. The abdominal spines
are relatively small. The larvae, when mature, are about 1-½ " long.
They may be found in East Texas forests from August to October. There
is one generation per season.
The larvae are gregarious when they are small. When they reach maturity, they
become solitary. These older larvae are often seen crawling around on lawns
or the sides of houses, or feeding singly on foliage. After maturity, the larvae
burrows three to four inches into the soil to pupate and overwinter.
This insect may be found in large numbers on the various species
of oak. Infestations are usually localized, but defoliation may be
The moths emerge from June to August and lay their eggs in clusters on the
undersides of leaves. The adult moth is 1-1/4" long with wings closed.
They are reddish brown, translucent with a submarginal dark stripe and a white
spot on each forewing. Over a period of a month the female will deposit up
to 500 eggs in a single cluster on the underside of an oak leaf, usually on
the lower branches.
DAMAGE: Young caterpillars feed by skeletonizing the leaf
surface. Older caterpillars are defoliators and may consume all but
the leaf midrib. Defoliation usually occurs one branch at a time
when populations are small. Occasionally the insect reaches outbreak
Tree health is rarely affected by oakworm defoliation. Because the caterpillars
feed in late summer, most photosynthesis is complete and foliage loss has little
impact on the tree. Native predators and parasites usually help keep the insect
from being a problem every year.
CONTROL: Manually destroy aggregations of young larvae when
detected on small trees. An application of Bacillus thuringiensis
(Thuricide) or horticultural oil will control young larvae. Damage
is seldom widespread and chemical control is rarely needed.
QUOTE: Joe Pase,
an entomologist with the Texas
Forest Service at Lufkin has the quote of the day, "The
larvae are really doing homeowners a favor by converting leaves to
pelletized fertilizer for free."

Tales of swinging, domestic abuse surround East Naples murder-suicide
A month before she was killed, a 33-year-old woman told authorities her husband's swinging lifestyle led to physical and mental abuse, according to an incident report obtained by the Daily News.
Claudia Isabella Krautwurst Healy, 33, was killed by her husband, William John Healy III, 41, last week as part of a murder-suicide, the Collier County Sheriff's Office reported. But it wasn't the first time deputies had been called to the couple's Verona Walk home.
On Sept. 18, Claudia Healy called deputies after she and her husband were in a heated argument, according to an incident report. While talking with deputies, Claudia Healy said she and her husband were nudists, but that he was also a swinger, which "causes much of their problems," the report said.
She said William Healy attempted to control her life, took things from her, broke her cell phone and didn't allow her to have friends.
"In all senses of the word, she was a slave," said Marisol Pedersen 42, who described herself as Claudia Healy's best friend.
But a friend of William Healy has a different take on the story.
Julie Garcia, who has known William for nine years, described him as a humble, soft-spoken, gentle and kind person. Garcia described Claudia Healy as a "witch" who tormented her husband and did nothing but smoke, drink and party "until the wee hours of the morning."
Although the Sheriff's Office has said that William Healy killed Claudia, Garcia doesn't buy it.
"All I know is that deep in my heart, I know what their relationship was like," Garcia said. "I know she's the aggressor. She did it. I know she did. I know deep in my heart."
Garcia said she called the Sheriff's Office on Friday after William Healy failed to show up for work for a couple of days. He worked at a local country club as a golf fitness professional.
When deputies responded to the Healy's rented home on 7965 Umberto Ct., they looked through the kitchen window and saw a bloody footprint and streaks of blood on the floor, according to an incident report. They entered the home through a broken window in the garage and found Claudia Healy's body butted up against the door of the front bedroom.
William Healy's body was in the back bedroom partially covered with a tan blanket. The home was covered in blood.
Due to the ongoing investigation, Sheriff's Office officials have not said why they believe William Healy was the killer, what kind of weapon was used, or if there was a suicide note left behind.
Friends and family members said William and Claudia Healy met a few years ago on a Miami beach. Pedersen said it was a nude beach. Claudia Healy, who is from Sweden, was visiting her mother who lives in Florida.
"They talked a couple of times," Pedersen said. "At first she thought he was too old, but he was funny."
A few months later they were married and living in Naples. But friends say it was never a happy marriage.
Pedersen said soon after they were married, William Healy brought his new bride to a "swingers club" in Tampa.
"There is a stretch from sunbathing nude to exchanging partners," Pedersen said. "She was miserable. She was completely miserable from that day on."
When Claudia Healy took a job as a snack shop attendant at another local country club, Pedersen said that William Healy took her paychecks. If she wanted to go out with friends to a restaurant, she had to ask her husband for money, Pedersen said.
William and Claudia Healy slept in separate bedrooms, Pedersen said. Claudia talked about leaving her husband and moving in with Pedersen, but she never did.
At one point, Pedersen said, Claudia Healy had an affair with another man.
"She wanted a divorce, but he wouldn't divorce her," Pedersen said.
When reached on the phone Tuesday, William Healy's father, Skip Healy, declined comment but called the allegations against his son "completely garbage."
Garcia said it was Claudia Healy who was "completely out of control" and was the aggressor in the relationship. Yes, William Healy kept tight reins on their finances, but he was the one making all of the money, Garcia said.
"He was working his butt off to pay for her drinking and smoking habit," Garcia said.
William Healy was a "very shy" person who rarely drank and almost never went out, Garcia said. He worked hard at his part-time job to pay his rent and drive his paid-off Ford Mustang, said Garcia, who urged him to get a divorce.
"He didn't have a crazy lifestyle at all," Garcia said. "He didn't have extravagant things. Nothing of the sort. He's a very humble person."
On Sept. 18, on the way home from an afternoon of drinking on the beach, William and Claudia Healy began to argue, according to an incident report. The argument continued when they arrived home around 7 p.m.
William began breaking and throwing things, and Claudia left for a neighbors house, reports said. The verbal altercation continued when he followed her over there, and the neighbors asked him to leave, reports said.
When deputies arrived, they reported that William Healy was "sweating, breathing heavily, and seemed agitated." He told them that his wife does not love him anymore, has been acting as if she doesn't care about him, and goes out at night for hours at a time without telling him where she is, reports said.
William Healy told the deputies that he and his wife had been in "several physical altercations in the past," reports said. He told the deputies that she had hit him "over 300 times" and that he had hit her on "numerous occasions." He denied trying to control his wife's life, but admitted that the only reason they were still together was so Claudia could obtain U.S. citizenship.
Neither William or Claudia Healy was arrested at the time. A few hours later, however, deputies arrested William Healy after they reported finding him walking on the shoulder of Collier Boulevard drinking a Miller Light.
When asked why his shirt was wet, William Healy told the deputy "it must be from the beer I was drinking." When told he was under arrest, Healy told the deputy "I agree with you," reports said.
The misdemeanor open container charge was dropped on Oct. 12.

Ways and Means Committee Chair Robert Doughton had his portrait painted by Boris Gordon in 1946. Typical of Gordon's portraits from the mid-20th century, the subject is depicted seated and half-length, with the upholstery of the chair blending with the abstract pattern of color of the background. The artist enjoyed considerable popularity in the House of Representatives, particularly with the Ways and Means Committee, and five of his portraits currently hang in its hearing room.

'Music that flows into the marrow of the soul' – The Undercover Soundtrack, Birgitte Rasine
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on February 26, 2014
Once upon a time, a schoolgirl resolved to never be a slave to music. She says she is glad this promise never lasted, because she cannot imagine having a creative life without music to guide and inspire her. Her latest work is a historical novel for young readers about the story of cacao, and features a heady soundtrack of Lana Del Rey, Cirque du Soleil and Manish Vyas. She is multipublished author Birgitte Rasine and she's on the Red Blog with her Undercover Soundtrack.

Savoury chocolate, bad reviews, finding an agent and writer's block – interview at Lorna Suzuki's blog
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Interviews on November 18, 2012
If you come to my house for dinner, I will cook the most bizarre recipe I can find and it will be a dish I've never tried before – so an adventure for us all. That's probably how I approach my fiction too, although I didn't realise until Lorna Suzuki asked me a bunch of questions at her blog All Kinds of Writing. (Lorna's pretty cool, BTW – she's a fifth-dan instructor of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu which she draws on for her kick-ass fantasy series Imago.)

I got a new wig for my poor butchered beauty, so that now, she has long wavy brown hair, which suits her far better than the original, and I dressed her in an antique white baby dress, tied around the waist with a baby blue ribbon. She also got new white stockings, and black patent shoes.
When I got married and moved out of my parents' house, there was no place for dolls, so they stayed behind. My parents have moved now. They live in a tiny town house, and my dolls are in storage. I'm not sure when they will come out, or where they will live when they do, maybe I could sell them . . .

09.09.05 By Curtis McCormick: Despite a proposed looming super fight with IBF boss Jeff Lacy, WBO Super Middleweight Champion Joe Calzaghe's attention remains fully fixed upon his defense tonight in Cardiff, Wales against determined challenger Evans Ashira. The 33 year old "Pride of Wales" headlines promoter Sports Network's card from the Cardiff International Arena and will be making his first appearance before the massive national audience on British terrestrial television entity ITV. Since winning the WBO belt from Chris Eubank in 1997, the lightning fisted southpaw has retained his title a remarkable sixteen consecutive times but cannot rest on his laurels as a slip up now against Ashira will cause his entire career to come crashing down in devastating fashion.
Calzaghe, 39-0 (31), most recently traveled to Germany where he stopped his former first round knockout victim Mario Veit in six but the well spoken Welshman is expecting a more difficult contest when he faces Evans Ashira in the ring tonight.
"Ashira is a good opponent, I think he's a good test for me," Calzaghe said during a radio interview with saddoboxing.com "He's a busy, come forward fighter who is a lot shorter than myself, so it doesn't take a genius to work out that I'll have to use my height, my fast jab and so on to break him up. But looking at him on tape, he's quite impressive, comes forward, throws a lot of punches, body shots and picks his combinations well. It should make for a good fight."
Ashira, 24-1 (13), will be at a disadvantage when the bell rings this evening in Cardiff as the 35 year old Kenyan now fighting out of Denmark hasn't fought above the middleweight class in over two and a half years. Ashira has held minor belts at light middle, the WBA's International title at middleweight and posted wins over accomplished veterans such as Jerry Elliot and Francisco Antonio Mora but was canvassed three times enroute to getting stopped in the second round by Maselino Masoe for the vacant WBA Middleweight crown in May of last year.
Taking nothing for granted, the game's longest reigning world titlist is giving his opponent all due respect, and will be going into tonight's bout with eyes wide open. When asked if he's looking at Ashira as simply a warm up to Lacy, the British southpaw was resolute. "Every opponent is dangerous and this is a world title defense, so if I take my eyes off the ball and think about Jeff Lacy too much, obviously, that's when fighters make mistakes," he said. "This is a tricky fight in and of itself and I'm making sure that I'm not even thinking of Jeff Lacy at the moment. I've got this defense ahead of me and the day afterward, if everything goes well, than obviously after that I'll think about Jeff Lacy. But believe me, all I'm thinking about now is Evans Ashira."
The man who is casting a giant shadow over Calzaghe's future, Jeff Lacy, recently tangled with the fighter that gave the Welshman his most difficult challenge, Robin Reid. The American IBF Champion proved too much for the former WBC beltholder, stopping the Englishman after seven tense, foul filled rounds. While Calzaghe concedes full credit to his rival, he also feels that Reid wasn't the same fighter who gave him all he could handle over six years ago. "Obviously, it was a good performance by Lacy but I think that Robin Reid was a shadow of himself and he just boxed on memory," remarked Joe. "He was slow and from the early rounds you could tell that Reid didn't want to be in the fight. He didn't have any game plan, he just tried to foul, grabbed Lacy by the legs; he didn't want to be in there, basically, you could see that. Lacy did well and took Reid apart but Reid stood straight in front of him, square on. The way to beat Lacy is with speed and movement. You need speed, you need to hurt him to get his respect and if you don't, he'll walk through you. Reid couldn't hurt him and that's what happened."
Joe Calzaghe has fought at super middle for his entire twelve year career, and has made the 168lb weight limit for seventeen straight bouts. The six footer admits to having gone through substantial difficulties over the last few years to stay in the division and looks forward to the day when he can graduate into the seven additional pounds that the light heavyweight class affords. "I'd have to say yeah because at this stage of my career, make no mistake, I want to finish as a two weight world champion," said Calzaghe when asked if the Lacy bout would be his last at super middleweight. "That's been my objective for the last four years. I want to be the first Welsh fighter and one of the few British fighters to have achieved that. I think that dominating the division for eight years and by beating Jeff Lacy, that would unify two of the belts and prove everything. There would be nothing bigger than that in the division that I could achieve."

ANAHEIM – When Hector Santiago was with the Chicago White Sox, the meetings for the pitchers took about seven minutes. With the Angels, who have cranked up their level of advance reporting this year, those meetings are around 30 minutes.
It's been a change for Santiago – and most of the members of the Angels – but it's hard to argue with the best record in the majors.
"I do feel like it definitely helps," Santiago said. "Sometimes you just don't know what to throw and then you go back to what came up in the meeting. There will be that little thing that will pop out."
Last year the Angels would have brief meetings at the start of each series, but this season they have had more extensive meetings for pitchers, hitters and one for defense. They created two new positions dedicated solely to such preparation, and they reworked the jobs of two other staffers.
To Chris Iannetta, it's all a part of what he feels is one of the reasons the Angels have been so much better this year.
"There's just been a renewed emphasis on hard work and preparation," Iannetta said. "Preparation is not something you can take lightly."
The Angels still don't have a starter for Saturday, but they will announce one Friday.
"We have a couple ways that we're going to go, but we're not going to commit to anything now," Manager Mike Scioscia said.
Randy Wolf, one of the candidates, is scheduled to start Fridayfor Triple-A Salt Lake City. Michael Roth is considered by most to be the other likely candidate.
Scioscia's only hint Thursday was saying the candidates are "in the organization," rather than "in house," which might imply that reliever Cory Rasmus is not a leading candidate.
It is likely the Angels are waiting as long as possible because they don't know who they will need in the bullpen between now and then.
The A's, meanwhile, will start Jeff Samardzija on Saturday and Scott Kazmir on Sunday, which is the reverse of how it was originally scheduled. The A's wanted to split up lefties Kazmir and Jon Lester, who will pitch Friday.
The Angels could create a roster spot for their new pitcher by optioning Santiago, who would still be eligible to come back by the time his turn came up again in the rotation.

Warren Spector Discusses Cancelled Half-Life EpisodeIn a recent interview with Game Informer, game designer Warren Spector has revealed a number of new details regarding partnerships between his company, the now-defunct Junction Point Studios, and Valve Corporation back in the mid-2000's. Prior to the Junction Point's acquisition by Disney Interactive Studios in 2007, Valve apparently stepped in and saved the company from going out of business by allowing the team to develop new conceptual designs for Valve over a period of about two years while also conducting contract work for Disney on another project at the same time. This project later evolved into what we now know as Epic Mickey.
During this time, Warren and the team were largely involved in creating work for a new standalone Half-Life title set to be released on Steam, likely sometime around the release of Episode Two. Following Junction Point's acquisition by Disney in 2007, all work related to the Half-Life title and their other non-Mickey Mouse projects was scrapped.
Later in the same interview, Warren explained the Half-Life title was set to stand as an "episode", that would fill in one of the gaps in the Half-Life universe, describing how the team were looking to try and flesh out a specific part of the series' fictional universe. Their conceptual work also involved the creation of what Warren dubbed the "Magnet Gun", a new weapon with a number of reportedly exciting applications, including some which would have complimented the Gravity Gun's existing toolset quite nicely. The Magnet Gun and its unspecified uses were all shelved when the project was scrapped.
A lot of this information isn't really "new" as such, but we thought Warren's recent reveal of the "Magnet Gun" was a good enough excuse to make a little round-up here of all the details for yet another of Half-Life's scrapped spin-off episodes.
About Junction Point Studios
Junction Point Studios was an independent studio established in November of 2004 by Warren Spector and Art Min, the latter of whom had previously worked at Valve. The studio spent much of their time creating concept ideas and attempting to find funding partners. In December of 2005, the company announced that it was working with Valve on a new video game project using the Source engine to be delivered via Steam. This was later revealed to be a Half-Life 2 episode that went unfinished.
The "Dota Major Championships" AnnouncedWhile Dota fans around the world are used to looking forward to the annual International tournament at this point, they may soon have a lot more to be interested in! As announced today, Dota 2 fans will now have three more large-scale Valve-sponsored tournaments to look forward to in the form of the "Dota Major Championships". The four tournaments, taking place across each of the seasons, will see the best teams in the world competing at premier venues across the globe thanks to third-party organisers, with the "Summer" championship taking on the form of the annual International.
The Dota 2 eSporting scene has been under a lot of fire recently as fans and players gradually lose interest in the game due to constantly shifting and uncertain team configurations as organisers scramble to have a line-up worthy of competing in the yearly International. This should hopefully all change with these new tournaments which, starting in Fall 2015, will allow teams to focus on more than a single, game-changing championship. Other details are currently scarce, with Valve claiming more will be revealed in the run-up to the first championship in Fall following The International 2015.
The blog post which revealed the new championships also confirmed that next week will see Valve release The International Compendium for this year's event alongside a brand new "major balance update", which will likely begin addressing recent gameplay concerns, such as the gold and experience comeback mechanics. This can only mean good things are coming, so we'll be sure to bring you more information as we have it.
Steam Workshop Now Allows User Content To Be SoldSince its debut, items on the Steam Workshop for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim have garnered a total of over 170 million downloads to date. In order to facilitate and encourage community content creators even further, today Valve announced that Steam Workshop creators will now be able to sell their creations directly on the Steam Workshops for certain games and receive a portion of the generated revenue. This new functionality begins today with Skyrim as the first game to support monetized Workshop items.
Along with the announcement came the news that the process for listing, selling, and managing Workshop items has been newly-streamlined with a host of new features. For instance, content creators will have free reign to choose their own prices for their own items -- and of course, "free" will always remain an option. Additionally, Workshop creators now have access to new tools that will allow them to easily keep track of item sales and revenue.
Similarly to Steam Greenlight, items which were produced by multiple people can now be set to distribute revenue to each contributing member as part of a team. Since this addition opens the doors for using assets from other Workshop items, it also allows Workshop items to have dependencies/requirements, such as having specific games, DLC, or other mods already installed.
In an effort to stave off unwarranted reviews, paid Workshop items will now require users to purchase them before being able to review them. Additionally, all paid Workshop items will henceforth give users the option of returning for a refund within 24 hours of purchasing.
Despite being a mere few hours old, the new paid Workshop policies have already proven controversial, with many users pointing out that this new system takes away a lot of the incentive that creators have to make their content available for free. There have been a great many people suggesting that a donation-based system would be preferable to this full-on purchasing approach, as it gates off a substantial amount of content that would otherwise be free.
While Skyrim is the only title to support these new Workshop features as of today, Valve have made it clear that more titles should follow in the coming weeks. So, as usual, we'll be sure to keep you up-to-date on all the latest Workshop news.
HTC Vive Developer Edition Sign-Up Now AvailableAs promised back at the HTC Vive's announcement in early March, sign-up for the developer edition of the virtual reality headset is now available. Unlike developer kits for the Oculus Rift, Valve are providing the HTC Vive to game developers free of charge should they successfully pass a team and project screening process over on the application website.
While previously speculated, it has been revealed that the developer edition is not for sale in any capacity, forcing those not lucky enough to be in a position of acquiring one to wait until the consumer edition is available in "Holiday 2015". Only those who do receive developer editions will be able to discuss the headset and SteamVR in general over on the new SteamVR Development Hardware discussion forum, which is available for everyone to publicly read.
Once sign-ups are complete, developer kits will be shipped every few weeks over a period of several months throughout Spring and Summer 2015. This should hopefully give developers a 5-6 month window to begin developing or porting games to the device in order to get a nicely robust library prepared in time for the HTC Vive's public release later this year.
Black Mesa Multiplayer Details Revealed!

That said, we still managed to find plenty of Half-Life news to talk about in this week's episode, including brand new details regarding the Black Mesa Multiplayer mode and a record-breaking speedrun of Half-Life 2 completed in a mind blowing 1:31:01!

KazMunayGas Exploration Production (KMG EP), the London and Kazakh-listed oil company, is mulling a flotation on a third stock exchange.
The group, which is partly state owned and Kazakhstan's second- biggest oil producer, has received offers from at least four other exchanges. KMG EP listed in London and Kazakhstan two years ago, raising $2.3bn (1.3bn).
Zhanneta Bekezhanova, chief financial officer, said: "We are thinking about a third exchange. We have received offers from Singapore, Hong Kong and Warsaw. We are looking at the proposals but have not yet decided."
Alexander Gladyshev, managing director of investor relations, added that the Karachi exchange in Pakistan had also contacted KMG EP about a float. The decision will ultimately be made by the Kazakh government.
The company, which produces more than 240,000 barrels of oil a day, is also in talks with authorities in Russia and Turkmenistan about joint ventures. Ms Bekezhanova said discussions were "ongoing" and announcements could be made next year.
News of a third listing came as some of Kazakhstan's most powerful men met in the capital Astana, seeking to calm fears over the security of energy supplies to the West following the Russia- Georgia crisis.
Timur Kulibaev, the billionaire oil executive who is widely tipped to be the next Kazakh president, told The Independent on Sunday: "All our major [energy] transport routes for Europe go through Russia. We do not face any problems with those deliveries for the time being."
Mr Kulibaev, chairman of KazEnergy, the country's powerful oil and gas trade association, was hosting an international conference last week, where the EU was attempting to improve links with the bloc's big energy suppliers.
Bonifacio Garcia Porras, a European Commission cabinet member for energy, said: "The EU wants to step up relations with its neighbours. [We are] intensifying the security of our energy supplies."
Leading oil executives warned of Russia's growing influence in the Caucasus and Eurasia. One Kazakh oil director said: "We support Russia."
But Kairgeldy Kabyldin, president of KazMunayGas, said the interests of private-sector energy groups would bring stability to the region, as governments would want to normalise relations to ensure investment. He conceded that Kazakh oil supplies through Georgia had been slightly delayed, but added that deliveries were back to normal. He also said that Kazakhstan could take part in US- led talks on the creation of new pipelines that would not pass through Russia. "We know the struggle between him [US Vice- President Dick Cheney] and Russia. We should always have an alternative route."
Kazakh Prime Minister Karim Massimov said last week that the country aimed to "ensure stability of supplies and contracts, and provide a consistent basis for international partners operating in our country".

NEW YORK (AFP) - American ready-to-wear company PVH, owner of luxury brands Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, announced on Wednesday it was planning to acquire underwear-maker Warnaco in a US$2.9 billion (S$3.5 billion) transaction.

Install and Manage the CUPS Server with New Book from Packt
Packt is pleased to announce a new book on the Commmon Unix Printing System that teaches to monitor and secure the CUPS server. Written by Ankur Shah, CUPS Administrative Guide will show users to manage printers through the command line and web interface.
The Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) is a modular printing system for Unix-like computer operating systems that allows a computer to act as a print server. It consists of a print spooler and scheduler, filters to convert print jobs to the format required by each printer, and a backend system to send the data to the chosen printer from client applications. By providing a portable, modular printing layer, CUPS brings printing for UNIX into the modern age.
This book introduces system administrators to the unique and powerful features of CUPS, and then moves on to installing, compiling and managing the print network. System administrators will learn how to integrate their systems with other systems like LPDs and Mac, manage the ever increasing print job load, set up clients, and manage users.
CUPS Administrative Guide will teach administrators to customize the status of their printer system to accept and reject print jobs, set different print options, print multiple copies, configure manual and automatic print queues, and communicate with single and multiple servers with clients. Users will also learn the importance of cupsd.conf directives that will help them manage their network, server, browsing, and security options.
Linux/Unix System Administrators who want to know about the CUPS server and who are interested in designing and setting up a CUPS network will find this book useful. This book is out now and is available from Packt. For more information, please visit http://www.packtpub.com/printing-with-cups-common-unix-printing-system/book

We have invested around $150 million in water, sewage and recycled water infrastructure in Armstrong Creek and Torquay North.
Residents in the Armstrong Creek and Torquay North estates have a dedicated 'purple pipe' delivering Class A recycled water for flushing their toilets, washing their cars and watering their gardens.
Recycled water is also used for irrigating local public spaces and sporting grounds.
The use of recycled water at Armstrong Creek and Torquay North is expected to save more 2,700 million litres of drinking water a year, once all homes and businesses are built and connected.

Netherlands manager Louis van Gaal, who is set to become Manchester United's new boss, has reportedly made his first blunder for his speculated future club.
Van Gaal reportedly let slip that he did not even know what is Carrington, United's training ground.
According to the Daily Star, Van Gaal had jokingly told journalists at a Holland training camp that they should come to more of his sessions to watch him donning his tracksuit instead of a suit.
However, when a media person asked the Dutchman if they should see his tracksuit side at Carrington, Van Gaal was left stumped and replied that what is that.
The journalist told Van Gaal that Carrington is United's training ground and the Dutchman that he did know that already, the report added.

Saudi Arabia launches new housing scheme to ease shortage
Published on Mar 13, 2014 6:57 PM
RIYADH (REUTERS) - Saudi Arabia's government has launched a new scheme to provide housing aid to its citizens, in the hope of ending a shortage of homes which has depressed living standards and is politically sensitive for the government.
After social discontent prompted uprisings elsewhere in the Arab world in 2011, King Abdullah announced a plan to build 500,000 homes in Saudi Arabia over several years.
Some US$67 billion (S$85 billion) of state funds were earmarked for the plan.
But the programme has been slow to get underway because of sluggish bureaucracies, difficulties in obtaining suitable land and the complexity of allocating aid. The new scheme, named ESKAN - the Arabic word for housing - and launched by the Ministry of Housing last week, aims to break through those bottlenecks.

Welcome to Special Education
Come by and see me:
Monday- Friday 1:55-2:40
Welcome to Hatchett Elementary.... The proud home of the Hatchett Hurricanes!
My name is Elizabeth Sitomer and I am one of the grade level specific Collaboration Teachers.
This is my fifth year here at Hatchett and I am so proud to be working with each of your children. I have been teaching for 9 years. Prior to becoming a collaboration teacher, I taught in a Self contained Unit (ALE or AU units). I began teaching in San Antonio ISD, moved to Katy ISD located just outside of Houston and then moved back to San Antonio and joined the Hatchett family. I am so proud to be working with each of your children. I am so very excited to start this year off... I know it will be a "trip"!
As well as being a classroom teacher I have the honor of being the Special Education Campus Coordinator at Hatchett.
Some information about our classroom:
The ALE(Alternative Learning Environment)/ SI (Specialized Instruction) classroom is staffed by a teacher and 2 Instructional Assistants who are specially trained to assist in the classroom. We follow the TEKS and NISD curriculum as well as functional academics and daily living skills. This two fold approach allows us to create an individual academic plan for each student while still introducing them to the curriculum and topics their same age peers are exposed to in the general education setting.
In the classroom I am blessed with five wonderful co-workers. Each of us brings our gifts from our outside backgrounds ranging from nursing to parenting to coaching this creates an environment that all students will achieve and succeed in.
