Do you guys watch documentaries?
I mean quality documentaries made for theaters, with a real deep story and subject,
I actually found myself watching and downloading more documentaries than movies or even tv shows.
To give you an idea: Errol Morris's thin blue line or Mr Death, The Bridge, last train to home, the paradise lost series, bus 174, the imposter, exit through the gift shop, food inc, control room, etc
So if you guys do watch these and would like to share those you like and recommend some you're welcome to post here.
Youtube has a lot of good documentaries. Esp. historical. One of my favorites: Engineering an Empire: Rome.
I am a huge huge documentary fan. Huge. Just huge.
Off the top of my head:
Kings of pastry
The Joan Rivers documentary.
First Position.
Word Wars (national scrabble championships)
Jiro dreams if sushi.
I am currently watching The Lottery.
That ought to get you started.
Love documentaries... don't get to watch many lately. I will have to look out for some of them mentioned in this thread!
My all time favorite is Mad Hot Ballroom
.. there is a scene in that documentary where the teacher going through the process of telling some kids that they didn't make the team... pure true emotion.. moving
Jiro dreams of sushi was very nice indeed
The pirat**** story has been released
Very good
I just watched it. That guys work ethic is incredible, and still going at his age. I was very inspired but it just goes to show how much hard work and sacrifice it takes to be the best.
I also saw Last Train Home. A simple thing but it turns into a hell. My heart goes out.
Another I may recommend is The Cove. Very intense stuff but it turns out that in these following years, there may be a happy ending after all: Japanese consumption has declined dramatically and the industry is afloat only because of government subsidy.
Check out Ken Burns national park series.
This being talktennis, I feel it's obligatory to mention the tennis documentary Unstrung. I really enjoyed this documentary. Available on itunes, amazon, and netflix.
Here's the trailer:
In The Shadow of The Moon
When We Left Earth
The Right Stuff (yeah yeah a movie but still...)
Rats in the Ranks (fly on the wall movie about suburban Sydney municipal politics)
Martin Scorcese's Blues series
America Revealed
Quizzers (about hardcore UK competitive quizzers)
The World At War - Laurence Olivier's narration still freaks me out
The Corporation
I really loved Pond Hockey, which is about the love of hockey, particularly amateur hockey played all day long outside.
Also, on hulu is a nice documentary following the fates of several junior players leading up to Kalamazoo.
Theres a pretty good one about this dude trying to become the world record holder in Donkley Kong.
Its like "King of Kong and a fistful of quarters" or something real similar.
just saw one about the trial of the founding members of the pirate bay on youtube.
^ saw it yesterday
Weird how they didnt fire that judge who was obviously connected to the majors
That conflict of interest was too much...
Also I hoped they'd focus more on the piracy concept and motivations, not only the trial
Personal documentaries are especially compelling....see "My Architect," a film about architect Louis Kahn, made by his son.
I don't watch documentaries because I find real people and real life situations boring, and I am really not interested in anyone else but me.
'the cove' was good.
'Senna' was a great documentary and worth watching even if you're not an F1/racing fan. It's pretty cool.
'Closer to the Edge: TT3D' was an awesome documentary about the isle of man TT race and some of the racers behind it. Worth watching even if you've never been on a bike.
'Faster' and 'Fastest' are good documentaries on moto GP.

Whether they're spooky, silly, or just plain fun, urban legends have a way of becoming embedded in campus culture. Despite UC Irvine's relatively young history, campus legends and folklore are often rooted in the past and inspired by true events.
"Legends are always told in historical time as things that might happen to ordinary people, but they do have a way of involving the extraordinary," said Carol Burke, folklorist and professor of English at UC Irvine. "I think they persist because they delight. Some express a lingering fear that the culture might have, but some are just fun."
Here's a look at some UCI-centric urban legends that have entertained students and faculty over the years:
One legend the campus has been unable to shake is that there is an underground tunnel system located beneath the campus built as an escape route for faculty and staff in case of student protests or riots. The legend has it that these tunnels could also serve as an entry point for the United States National Guard if students got too unruly.
While the tunnels do exist, they were not built with protests in mind. The tunnels house heating and cooling pipes and electric, phone and data wiring. Underground tunnel systems are not unusual. Many campuses, including UCLA and Stanford University, have their own subterranean passageways that are generally operated by facilities management.
A "Star Trek" fanatic might liken UC Irvine's Ayala Science Library to the USS Enterprise. Legend has it that architects James Stirling and Michael Wilford were die-hard Trekkies who wanted to leave their mark on campus. Coincidentally, a minor character named Lieutenant Ayala appeared on the television show "Star Trek: Voyager."
The Ayala Science Library, named after UC Irvine professor Francisco J. Ayala, was completed two years after Stirling died in 1992. Stirling was a renowned architect who was often credited for having a wide range of styles, from classical to Baroque to modern. Although there is no concrete evidence that the Ayala Science Library was designed with the "Star Trek" spaceship in mind, like any artistic work, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Many students say that if you look down at the plaza near the School of Biological Sciences at UC Irvine, you'll find a mosaic representative of sperm and eggs in the moment of conception.
This is somewhat true. Designed by Gerald Ohta, the project landscape architect at Lynn Capouya Inc., the biological sciences plaza was inspired by mitosis. Mitosis is the process in which a cell divides. While it may not have any sexual inspiration, it is representative of the creation of new life.
The legend of Aldrich Park is that it was originally landscaped with rolling hills to create an environment unsuitable for large gatherings or protests.
Because UC Irvine was established in the glory days of social and political activism of the 1960s, many legends involve a centralized fear around protests. Aldrich Park was designed to be an urban forest in the middle of campus, where students and faculty alike could relax and connect with nature. Today, Aldrich Park has become a prime location for special events including Celebrate UCI and Wayzgoose, a campus-wide carnival and open house held in the spring.

Community colleges may get $12B investment
The American Graduation Initiative would funnel $12 billion to the nation's community colleges to provide training for the unemployed and underemployed.
Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 04:46 PM
In the past, I've discussed the role that our nation's community colleges are playing in our economic recovery. In March, a report was published that examines how community colleges are primed to build a green workforce (PDF). The study highlights some of the sustainable measures taken at community college campuses. Along with the focus on sustainable design, enrollment in eco-friendly degree programs is up.
Community colleges have the ability to provide lower-cost training to more people than traditional four-year universities. In a time when under- and unemployment is rampant, securing funds for university tuition is difficult. Community college tuition is typically drastically reduced when compared to university tuition, and many areas are served almost exclusively by community colleges.
President Obama has a plan to help keep community colleges at the forefront of the green jobs movement, and ensure that the United States is the most educated country – the American Graduation Initiative. He announced his plans in a speech earlier this week in Michigan, a state that has been ravaged by the auto industry meltdown.
The initiative is expected to cost $12 billion, with the spending spread out over a 10-year period. There are several goals of this plan including an additional 5 million community college graduates by 2020, a competitive grant fund for community colleges, provide a pathway to completing a four-year degree upon graduation, renovate current facilities, and expand online educational opportunities.
While the American Graduation Initiative isn't specific to green jobs training, the Obama administration's focus on green jobs as part of the answer to the nation's economic and environmental woes will ensure that this program keeps on eye on creating a sustainable future.

Two San Diego real estate experts weigh in on what works, what doesn't in mortgage pact between government, banks
Michael Lea • San Diego State University
This settlement is a case of too little, too late. But the silver lining might be the lifting of the uncertainty that's been hanging over mortgage lenders.
A lot of lending activity has been held up over the past year or two, for fear that regulators and lawyers will further restrict what the lenders are doing, resulting in penalties or repayments.
This settlement reduces some of those uncertainties and takes some of the legal strings off the lenders, meaning they have to less to worry about from future lawsuits. To the extent that it makes banks more willing to extend loans, the deal will benefit the market.
It would be great to have a global settlement that says, "OK, you've paid your penalties. Now get on with doing business." But that's not what this is. It's only partial relief, leaving plenty of room for future mischief.
In the meantime, one of the big questions about this settlement is: Who gets the benefits?
I'm not sure what good it does to provide payments to people who were foreclosed upon, especially since the vast majority of these homes were going into foreclosure anyway. I guess the regulators and politicians wanted to look like they were doing something and this was the best they could do.
The banks, brokers and borrowers all were partially at fault in this. There's no good way to separate this out and decide who did what to whom. This settlement reflects that the banks did do things that got us into this mess, although it involved a lot more lenders than just these five. They just happened to be the biggest players.
The idea of reducing principal on underwater homes is good in the sense that maybe it might reduce the number of distressed sales hitting the market. But this reduction might be too little to have a major effect.
What's a little unusual about all this is we're asking the big banks to reduce the principal owed on some homes, but Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have so far refused to do any principal reductions. If mortgage reductions are good for the market, why shouldn't Fannie and Freddie do it?
Michael Lea is director of the Corky McMillin Center for Real Estate at San Diego State University.
Mark Riedy • University of San Diego
This is a win-lose situation where some of the winners don't deserve to win and some of the losers weren't necessarily the actual perpetrators.
I'm not sure what it accomplishes in terms of punishing anybody. The people who wrote most of these mortgages are long gone. The regulators who were asleep at the switch and did nothing to stop this get off totally free, as if it wasn't their fault. If they had been doing their job, we wouldn't have had this problem.
Most of the banks involved in the settlement weren't the ones who wrote the loans. Bank of America is in it because of loans written by Countrywide. Wells Fargo is in it because of loans written by Wachovia. The settlement will hurt them a bit, although maybe not that much, because they have set up reserves.

Tom Brown jr is nothing more than a good con man
Ive been thinking about this for a few years now. Tom has not provided any evidence of Stalking Wolf. If you read his books he says that tracks stay for years after their maker leaves them. So with people asking for proof of Stalking Wolf, why hasn't anyone talked about his tracks? I have never heard or read anything about anyone finding or studying Stalking Wolfs tracks. With that said Im sure we will have a bunch of brownies coming to Toms rescue talking about S.W's tracks, Im calling B.S on those people right now for the simple fact that they would have used this as proof years ago.
The whole S.W story reminds me of stories about a man that I loved and respected in my youth. He did wonderful things for people. He brought them great joy.... He also had magical powers. There are more stories about him around the world than can be counted. But the simple fact remains, and I am sorry kids, but Santa Claus is fake, plain and simple.
I'm a darn good tracker myself, I am self taught. I know there are other trackers out there that have never been to a school for tracking and like me laugh at Toms B.S stories.
So how about it Tom, why not let some of us trackers that are not affiliated with you come to your school and find Stalking Wolfs tracks on our own? Hell, make it easy for us and show us where to start! It will never happen, I know, You have a reputation built from lies that you need to protect. I am not impressed by you.

|The Following 3 Users Say Thank You to Ghilleman For This Useful Post:
I read his book Tracker. It is BS from start to finish. The coincidence of him and his friend, having left each other after a tiff, each found a skull and ran to find the other and just happened to meet. Wonderful coincidence! And that part about the fight with poachers and punching thru a block wall without hurting his hand. He beat them up even tho seriously outnumbered, and one had a shot gun that at least could be used as a club. He never even got a scratch. Sticking a lit cloth in a gas tank will not do anything except burn out (attempted felony arson). I have seen this done to stolen vehicles without more than a little scorched paint. Even the name Stalking Wolf does not fit the name pattern of Athabascans. I loved that story about the dogs in the quarry - pure BS.
|The Following User Says Thank You to RickVA For This Useful Post:
He told me I Shall Pass.
I must disagree with you most vehemently! Tom Brown's 2 part survival library is leveling my couch. No other book in my library was just the right thickness. I think it was fate that made me purchase that book.
It's a shame TB couldn't escape the commercial, must make lots of money grind...
"And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine." Revelation 6:5-6.
Even a shallow, cursory look at the importance of finance, banking, stock market, commerce and the overwhelming shadow cast by the entertainment industry (I call this current generation the "Entertain Me, NOW!" generation) will reveal the black horse and rider in all his glory...
After all, what do we call the Friday after Thanksgiving?
My greatest respect is reserved (I once greatly respected TB, having read everything of his in the old MOTHER EARTH NEWS magazine) for those who place principle, substance, integrity, truth and honesty above money...way above money.
I'd much rather be a skinny, hungry but honest man of integrity...than be dining sumptiously every day off of earnings that engender vanity, pride and total and utter self-interest.
Also note, the use of the term 'oil' in the bible passage quoted above. Of course, in the day this was written, it was olive oil that held such currency. Just interesting that today, 'oil' of a different kind is now king.

I know nothing of the SW story.In the desert clay tracks can stay for years. What good it will do you cannot be much.
TB jr s book is OK. I have flipped pages at the book store for years now. Nothing revolutionary or brilliant. Just seemed to be solid old logic written down. Can one own up to inventing those techniques ? I hope TB does not try.
Didn't T Brown used to write articles for Mother Earth or one of them other mags?Seems like I seen an article by him on survival bows yrs ago.And somethin about the Jersey devil or some such...
Why do you require him to be real?
Tom Brown has done a heck of a lot of good for gthe survivalist image.
|The Following User Says Thank You to Dragunov For This Useful Post:
rodale, I do not know much about Tom Brown other than he puts out a weird looking knife that I would never consider carrying. Since my knowledge of him and his creds are limited, I will reserve judgement regarding his character. I do know that it is not an actual wolf he speaks of. Stalking Wolf was supposedly an Apache Holyman/Tracker that he says trained him long ago, and was said to be the Grandfather of Brown's best friend. Don't know if he was real or not. I have never heard of him offering any proof of either his training or this man's existence, but since I will never pay for his services or equipment it does not really matter to me either way.

Beam over to a ship that is going to explode. Run around for a bit to turn off certain stations, then do this type of puzzle and save the day all within a few minutes, and not worry about killing any Orion pirates on board!
Hopefully they can add stuff like this in the future.
I think i read that they said they wanted to do something like this.

NBA: Bryant scores 31 as Lakers beat Bucks
Bryant scores 31, Brown has 16 in 4th quarter as Lakers beat Bucks 118-107
MILWAUKEE ---- Shannon Brown said his goal is to win the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year. To be a serious candidate, he'll need to keep repeating performances like this one.
Brown scored 16 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant scored 31 points, and the Lakers beat the Milwaukee Bucks 118-107 on Tuesday night to snap a two-game losing streak.
"I'm going to keep working and we're going to keep winning," Brown said. "It's more about doing what I've got to do to help my team win."
Los Angeles had started 8-0 before the consecutive losses, but Brown and Bryant sparked the Lakers on both ends of the floor against what had been the stingiest defense in the NBA.
"He's even a better shooter than he was last year," Bryant said. "You see him now making plays off the dribble, making plays for others, passing off the dribble. He continues to get better. This is just the beginning for him."
Bryant scored 13 points in the third quarter, including seven straight in a crucial stretch. Brown didn't skip a beat in the fourth, hitting four 3-pointers that stifled the Bucks' rally.
"Tried to open it up, that's my job coming off the bench, to get momentum if we're lacking or do whatever it takes," Brown said. "Today, it was hitting shots and playing defense."
Brandon Jennings scored 31 points, Andrew Bogut had 12 points and 18 rebounds, and Drew Gooden added 22 points and 13 boards for Milwaukee (5-6), which had its three-game winning streak end.
Brown's reverse layup gave Los Angeles a 99-88 lead with just over 8 minutes to play. Then the reserve guard added a jumper and a 3-pointer moments later to make it 104-90.
After Milwaukee went on a 7-0 run, Brown hit another 3 that pushed the lead back out to 107-97, and Milwaukee never got within two possessions of tying.
Gooden, Brown's former teammate in Cleveland and Chicago, just shook his head when reciting Brown's stat line.
"Shannon was so efficient out there for them. Seven of nine from the field, 21 points, 21 minutes, zero turnovers coming off the bench; that's an efficient game coming off the bench," Gooden said.
Bryant, who improved to 22-4 against Milwaukee, hurt the Bucks in the third quarter, scoring seven straight to break open a tight game in the first of three-game Midwest swing for Los Angeles that includes stops in Detroit and Minnesota.
After Bryant hit two free throws, he stripped John Salmons on the ensuing possession and got the ball back from Derek Fisher on the fast break. Bryant hit an easy layup as Jennings fouled him and converted the three-point play.
Bryant then drew another foul, this time on Salmons, and hit both of the free throws to make it 82-75.
Milwaukee had held some potent offenses to pitiful performances during its three-game winning streak. But there wouldn't be a repeat performance against the Lakers, who got to the rim and the foul line seemingly as much as they wanted. Pau Gasol had 18 points and 10 rebounds, Lamar Odom added 13 points and Fisher had 10.

The Poetry Program is founded on the belief that when poets gather in a community to write new poems, each poet may well break through old habits and write something stronger and truer than before. To help this happen we work together to create an atmosphere in which everyone might feel free to try anything. In the mornings we meet in workshops to read to each other the work of the previous twenty-four hours; each participant also has an opportunity to work with each staff poet. In the late afternoons we gather for a conversation about some aspect of craft. On several afternoons staff poets hold brief individual conferences.
Tuition for the Poetry Program includes six evening meals and daily photocopying of poems. A limited amount of financial aid is available.
Poetry Director: Robert Hass
Guest Director: Brenda Hillman

On Wednesday we will go to Lake Tahoe for the afternoon and evening. Poet softball will be played at the local elementary school for those who are interested, followed by a BBQ picnic at the spectacular Meeks Bay on the Lake. Poets may swim, hike the nearby trails to view abundant wild-flowers, or just relax. We return to Squaw Valley at nightfall.

Obama urges action on Sandy aid
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama is calling for House Republicans to vote Wednesday on Hurricane Sandy aid "without delay for our fellow Americans." It comes as New York lawmakers are lashing out at a decision by House GOP leaders not to hold a vote in the current Congress.
Obama says in a written statement that many people in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut are trying to recover from the storm and need "immediate support with the bulk of winter still in front of us."
The Senate approved a $60.4 billion measure Friday to help with recovery from the storm. The House Appropriations Committee has drafted a smaller, $27 billion measure, and a vote had been expected before Congress' term ends Thursday at noon.
House Speaker John Boehner pulled the bill on Tuesday.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
New York lawmakers from both parties on Wednesday lashed out at the decision by House GOP leaders not to hold a vote on Hurricane Sandy aid in the current Congress, calling it a "betrayal."
Reps. Michael Grimm, a Republican, and Jerrold Nadler, a Democrat, said in angry House floor remarks that while they did not agree on much, House Speaker John Boehner's decision would be a crushing blow to states battered by the late October storm.
"There was a betrayal," said Grimm.
The Senate approved a $60.4 billion measure Friday to help with recovery from the storm that devastated parts of New York, New Jersey and nearby states. The House Appropriations Committee has drafted a smaller, $27 billion measure, and a vote had been expected before Congress' term ends Thursday at noon. An amendment for $33 billion in additional aid, partly to protect against future storms, was also being considered.
Grimm and Nadler were among several New York and New Jersey lawmakers who took to the House floor to complain about Boehner's move. The lawmakers said Boehner pulled the bill without talking to them.
"It's the most disgraceful action I've seen in this House," said Nadler. "It is a betrayal by the speaker personally of the members of this House," Nadler said.
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., called it a "cruel knife in the back" to New and New Jersey. He said some Republicans have a double standard when it comes to providing aid to New York and New Jersey compared with other regions of the country suffering disasters. Somehow, he said, money going to New York and New Jersey is seen as "corrupt."
He said those same Republicans have no trouble coming to New York and New Jersey to raise millions of dollars. King urged donors from the two states not to give money to Republicans who are ignoring their needs on Sandy.
King said Congress approved $60 billion for Hurricane Katrina in 2005 within 10 days, but hasn't appropriated any money for Sandy in over two months.
Rep. Frank Pallone Jr., D-N.J., blamed tea party lawmakers and conservatives who were reluctant to approve new spending soon after the debate over the "fiscal cliff" budget issues for the sudden move by GOP leaders. He said the move was "deplorable."

Re: Christmas GPS $600.00 Budget
Well, given that budget you are going to be looking at 5" plotters, from what I've seen you basically have a choice of Garmin, Lowrance or the Standard Horizon units for that sort of money. The Lowrance 5 is on a cracking deal at WM at the moment, transducer, Gold charts for under $450 plus taxes so you'd have a few bucks left over for other toys.
I liked the interface on it, I've tried several different manufacturers out and that Lowrance seemed the most obvious, followed by the Garmin with the SH just not seeming that easy. I also didn't like the little stick control on the SH.
I'm sure with some study of the manual they would all be fine. Pretty sure the Garmin and SH don't come with charts, or transducers if you want depth.
Haven't looked at the Hummingbird units, nor the smaller Raymarine which is on special at the moment but I think still out of your budget.
Best bet is to get yourself to a marine supplier and play with a few, see which one you like.

are correct, my bad, I misread. My apologies. Many people get them confused, so I thought you were one of them
interested in cloud mining? PM me for interesting info
BTC / LTC for the win!
So is this video not accurate? Seems like a netbook level slate PC that can perform most common tasks MS office, internet browsing.....(not a gaming rig).
How does this compare to an HP tx2500 running and AMD Turion X@ Duel Core Mobile ZM-80 2.10 GHz processor with 4gb RAM and windows 7? I've been using this for almost 8 years and works fine for youtube, facebook, webrowsing, office, storing pictures...... that's all I do with a PC....
Figured I'd pick this up as a toy.
Thanks for the advice.
- 1280x800 resolutions is not as bad as the other guy said. it's 10" for god sake. thats enough. I've used that resolution on 12" 11" and 13" laptop for years. I would MUCH rather have 1280x800 then the gimped 1366x768. \
- 2gb of ram is "OK" if you do regular office/email/internet type of work.
$199 is an interesting price point.
I do suggest the ssd up grade from 32->64gig for $33.
If you get one of those logitech mouse/keyboad combo with the mini usb dongle it would work great as a semi laptop.
but that darn atom cpu is just slow and kills the deal for me.
NOTE: I wonder what the interface for the ssd drive is. if it's MSATA then it might be worth it to upgrade all the way to 128gb. as the SSD can be used for other laptops and at ~$66 for a 128gig MSATA SSD it is a pretty decent deal alone.

My days as a sales person @ bestbuy
Customer: This stupid phone I bought last week won't work right
Me: So it's the phone thats stupid and not you right?
Customer: I'm looking for an easy way to access my media files with my laptop when I'm in the yard.
Me: Sports Authority is having a sale on walking shoes.
1280 x 800 is not that bad for 10"
People make a big deal about Retina screen. Most people use a tablet for casual web browsing and email. You don't see the pixel with retina screen? big farking deal...
$199 is not bad for a windows tablet imo. The only concern is the atom cpu and battery life. My atom netbook was pretty slow with flash, and it barely plays mkv video.

Windows 8 seems to run pretty decently on this..
..I've wanted to try Windows 8 on a touchscreen but didn't want to invest like $600+ on a Windows 8 touchscreen laptop or invest $900 on a Surface ($500 for a Surface RT is still a joke to me imo).
EDIT: Nevermind. You guys are right. Looking at the atom CPU kills it. Ugh. If only they put something a little more powerful in it.
Last edited by dzap; 11-23-2012 at 04:40 PM..
What you will get if you switch from the tx2500 to the dell is a much slimmer, lighter device with superior battery life, SSD, a better screen (gorilla glass wide view LED), an easier upgrade path to W8 and a low buy in price of $200 ($233 for the 64gb flash upgrade) plus other nifty features such as dual camera, etc...
Here's a video that compares the atom processor with an w8 RT tablet. Both are okay for general usage but forget about watching HD video:
Worse comes to worse, return the dell tablet if you don't like it. I think the price is right for this tablet as long as expectations are not too high.

(Or to send them a photo or a piece of the damaged section and ask for a match--both are known for outstanding service.)
You may be able to repair the veneer if it has only lifted, by injecting epoxy behind it and pressing it back down, that's a standard veneer repair.
I'd try asking the hatch maker for the right gaskets first, they may be overpriced but the material and shape do count. For generic gasket material, Grainger or McMaster (both online) have large stocks of different sizes and materials. Remember that your old gaskets probably have shrunk a bit--what they measure now, may not be what the correct new ones would measure.
Regular ArmorAll or talc application will help keep gaskets like new for many years.
I am curious about Constantine as we are in Florida too. Do you have any more info., I'd sure appreciate it. Jane

Felt like an arcade game. (hand/eye cordination)
As an adventure game I should have rated it a little lower, but your work is smooth and flowing so I rated it average.
Good Programming thought.
Good Luck in your future work.

I loved it. I thought that your design decisions were succinct and potent. Not only in the art style, or the ship mechanics, but also the way I was able to panic when I ran out of fuel, but I wasn't really punished for it. I felt like all I had to do was be patient and careful; and when that proved hard, only I was to blame. But when I did manage to check myself before I wrecked myself, I was rewarded with a pleasing soundtrack that deepened the world I was navigating. Great job, what impressed me most was your ability to prioritize the most effective elements. "what were the most effective elements?" you ask, everything you ended up including in the game.

The game is awesome! But like sticky situation, you have to be much more skilled than I am to play it lol. Got to the green part...I figured out a secret though. Only use the thruster to get you moving slowly. Then turn around and use it to slow down. It lets you maneuver through corners...but its tough. Great work, 5 thunderbolts!

I've always wondered why those of us in America don't base our car purchase decisions on an automaker's racing pedigree. Sure NASCAR has been growing in popularity every year since the beginning of time supposedly (it's up there with free money and warm blankets at this point), yet you don't see any Cars of Tomorrow parked at your local big box retailer ever. Rally racing companies, drivers and cars are superstars in other parts of the world and directly influence the public's hatchback purchasing decisions. Rally racing is some of the most intense driving you can imagine and Forza Horizon is tacking on some of that dirty, bumpy racing with some fresh downloadable content. Serioulsy rally racing has you driving and wrestling your car on the X, Y and Z axes at high speeds like you're flying a sci-fi spaceship. You could put those same skills to use in real life, slicing and dashing through traffic except natural obstacles like trees and berms don't curse you out and make dumb decisions at high speeds.
Have a look at Forza Horizon's Rally Racing DLC trailer and get ready to make some easy lefts.

Panel recommends annual flu vaccinations for all
Swine flu provided another argument for universal vaccination. The new virus proved to be unusually dangerous to young adults, and also took a surprising toll on Native Americans and obese people. Many of those hospitalized and killed by swine flu were not in groups previously recommended for annual flu shots, and that fact was another reason to expand the vaccination recommendation, experts said.
There are a few exceptions to the universal recommendation. Children under 6 months of age, who have undeveloped immune systems, will continue to be exempt. So too will people who have egg allergies (the vaccine is made using eggs) and those who have had certain severe reactions to flu shots in the past.
The panel also decided that elderly people can consider a new, revved-up version of the seasonal flu shot. It's a Sanofi Pasteur vaccine for adults 65 and older.
In years when the flu shot is well matched to circulating flu viruses, vaccine is 70 to 90 percent effective in people younger than 65, the CDC estimates. But it tends to be only 30 to 70 percent effective in those who are older because they generally have weakened immune systems.
The Sanofi vaccine - called Fluzone High-Dose - has four times as much immunity-building antibodies as a standard dose. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the vaccine in December, and it should be available for the 2010-2011 flu season. It would cost about $25 a shot, or about twice the standard version.
The panel did not state a preference for the vaccine, however. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the vaccine through an accelerated process, and Sanofi is to do further studies to show the shot reduces flu illnesses.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. MI6 & Desolation TestsDesolation JonesMichael (Desolation) Jones was a member of one the United Kingdoms leading intelligence services known as MI6. Michael was once a fine agent and one of their top spies before something changed within him, it maybe related to breaking up with his girlfriend Jessica at the time, but this can not be confirmed. Turning to drink Michael began on a downward slope and soon his actions could no longer go unnoticed. So he was given the choice of either being discharged from the service or continues working for them as a test subject, he was lead to believe that he would be used as a study rather then the actual subject . It is from here that Michael made the mistake of becoming a test subject in the Desolation Tests. Michael would be subjected to a full year of being imprisoned and strapped to a bed without sleep. Every now and again he would be injected with unknown chemicals. Michael is the only survivor of the test and as such was tattooed with a biohazard symbol on both of his forearm as he is seen as a chemical threat. It is also believed that Michael was also test subject number one as on his other forearm he is also tattooed with Desolation 1.In ActionThe test changed Michael both mentally and physically, one of the most noticed is he must now cover himself in sunlight and can not come in direct contact with it. As he is always covered in the day time, we do not know what will happen to him if his skin ever did meet sun light. His skin is also a dark grey and snow white hair, he is also very skinny and looks like he may die at any moment, this maybe due to the mental and physical pain he feels daily. Even with all of this Jones is a dangerous fighter and has no fear what so ever or any other emotions expected of a normal human. This makes him a very deadly fighter willing to go the extra mile without ever thinking about it, he is once hit several times over the head with a crow bar and still gets up and manages to beat the attacker senseless, this mixed with his MI6 training makes him a great hand to hand fighter. But if he is hurt he does not heal like normal humans either, it does take him a little longer to heal then normal but this is due to the amount of medication he is always taking.Los AngelesJonesAfter being released from the Desolation Test, Michael was nicknamed Desolation Jones and it stuck. Jones suffers from hallucinations mostly of angels. Currently Jones lives in Los Angeles where the US Government hold ex-agents of intelligence agencies from all over the world. Los Angels is run some what like a low security prison for the ex-agents. Jones works as a private investigator and because of his past and much like the rest of his community have a certain level of legal invisibly. Jones only works on jobs within the intelligence community.Description :Apart from his grey skin and white hair, Jones has a few other trade marks that make him stick out; he always has a pair of goggles on his head and a bright orange trench coat, some times he is seen with a gas mask round his neck, but more often then not he is in the same clothes as always.

BALTIMORE Things are coming apart at the seams for the Boston Red Sox.
It couldnt be stated any more clearly as the baseball team limps to the finish line in its second straight underachieving season, and now the cracks are starting to show in the foundation. According to a Yahoo! Sports report by Jeff Passan, Dustin Pedroia and Adrian Gonzalez led a meeting between a large group of disgruntled players and Sox ownership in New York City.
The substance of the meeting: the players no longer wanted to play for manager Bobby Valentine and wanted him fired. The Sox were coming off losses in five of the last six games against the Blue Jays and the Rangers prior to the meeting with Sox ownership, and upset about a number of things. The teams uninspired, losing performance was one of the big issues, but the Sox were also upset about Valentine leaving Jon Lester out to get abused for 11 runs during the previous homestand.
Several Sox sources confirmed the meeting and one said: It was pretty heated going into those meetings. The whole organization was there to discuss the current situation, said the source. There was a lot talked about and things werent going well. Frankly, I was pretty surprised that nothing happened afterwards.
Adrian Gonzalez was approached about the meeting and confirmed that it was an organization meeting with coaches, players, management and ownership. "It was an organizational assessment of everything, in general," said Gonzalez. But when asked if he was actively trying to get Valentine fired, Gonzalez responded by saying I dont know what youre talking about.
His general manager Ben Cherington confirmed the New York City meeting Sox ownership in the article.
He also went on to bash the source of the report.
Ive never seen that guy in our clubhouse before, said Gonzalez, of Passan. He doesnt know whats going on with us.
Dustin Pedroia didnt want to talk about the report at all, and instead said he wanted to worry about playing against the Orioles on Tuesday night and essentially playing out the string.
I just want to play baseball, man, said Pedroia, who would neither confirm nor deny the Yahoo! Report.
Valentine himself admitted he did have a one-on-one meeting with Pedroia after an initial meeting with someone he wouldnt identify, but couldnt recall if it happened during the fateful month of July.
Im glad July is over because theyre still playing for me, said Valentine with a smile on his face. Im not going to comment on any story and I dont know what issues you might be referring to. What were Adrians issues?
Dustin and I had a talk about a meeting that I had. I dont know if that was July or not.
So there was plenty of scrambling, spin control and some Sox players that didnt even have a clue what was going on prior to a muggy Tuesday night divisional game against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.
Many were looking at the next six games against the Orioles and Yankees as Bostons last stand with a chance to push themselves into the playoff race if they could win the majority of those half-dozen ballgames. But the fractures in the Sox foundation are undeniable with more cracks coming to daylight each and every day, and an ownership group that has done nothing about for two years running aside from firing Terry Francona.
When underperforming, malcontent players are forming a mutiny on the manager and Sox ownership has suddenly turned deaf, dumb and blind after a wonderful initial run from 2002-2008, the end isnt just near.
It seems that this Sox season was doomed before it even got started with the same group of players and the same apathy from the owners box.
It wont get better until somebody starts radically altering the DNA of this team and finally admitting there are some epic problems that need to be properly addressed once the season is over.

Guest column: Step away from that textbook
My name is Kerry Matthews. I'm a teacher and I want to make a confession.
I threw out the textbook.
I spent 19 years in the classroom, teaching elementary school science. Today I teach teachers how to teach. My first piece of advice to those teachers is: Do it. Throw. Out. The. Textbook.
OK, not literally — I can hear the collective sigh of relief from parents and school boards now — but let me explain. Textbooks are not a guide for how to teach students. They are a resource, but in our 21st century world they are not the only resource, and sometimes they are not the best. Ideally, textbooks guide about 10 percent of a teacher's curriculum.
Using other resources helps teachers individualize their students' education and helps students retain the knowledge and concepts defined in textbooks.
The fifth-grade science textbook I used when I taught at Center Hill Elementary School in Olive Branch was written at a sixth- or seventh-grade reading level. Some of my students couldn't read at grade level, much less one or two years ahead. Others were reading at an 11th-grade level. In each case, the textbook frustrated them.
Instead, I gave each student reading-level appropriate materials I found at the library. Without the frustration or boredom bred by a textbook that didn't account for their individual needs, these children were able to embrace the concepts we were studying.
Textbooks are also the least interactive way to learn. We cannot expect a child who has mastered an iPad by age 5 to power down and abandon that knowledge (and it is knowledge) at the door.
One of the concepts I taught my fifth-graders was beach erosion. Center Hill Elementary is six hours from the Gulf of Mexico. Many of my students had never seen the ocean; the largest body of water some of them had ever seen was the pond in front of the school. They had no idea of the power of lapping waves, so had a harder time grasping erosion. A one-dimensional picture in a textbook wasn't going to help them understand it.
I wanted my students to see how erosion happened and if I couldn't take them all to the beach, then I was going to somehow bring the beach to them. I knew videos could help. With the help of the website WatchKnowLearn.org — a project of the nonprofit Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi — my students watched a video of waves crashing against the shore. We brought in beach chairs and umbrellas, and sand so students could feel sediment.
It was fun — and every one of those students left that day knowing how to define erosion, sediment and deposition. They hadn't simply read about it, but saw it and felt it.
What were the results of this seemingly radical experiment? For three years in a row, my fifth-graders had the top scores on Mississippi's standardized science test.
My principal, Rebecca Dearden, was essential to my classroom's success. She supported my approach when, perhaps, others would not have. Her school is one of the Blue Ribbon Schools designated by the U.S. Department of Education. Its scores are ranked fifth overall among Mississippi schools (not just elementary schools — all schools). How? She's not afraid of using alternative educational resources or letting her teachers find unique solutions rather than forcing them to adapt to a cookie-cutter approach.
I'm no longer in a classroom. I now teach teachers about technology resources, and work for the website I once used to help my students, WatchKnowLearn.org. The site provides educational videos — free of charge — to teachers, and is the brainchild of one man who wanted to give back to teachers, parents and students.
In addition to throwing out the textbook (figuratively), we need more civic leaders like the WatchKnowLearn philanthropist to come into the classroom. On Sunday I'll attend an "Education Nation" teacher town hall in New York City sponsored by NBC News. This annual event is in its third year. The network brings together lawmakers, policy experts, parents and educators for several days of discussion about the state of education in America.
We should have these types of discussions every day in our classrooms and in our cities and states. Students learn from bringing real-life scientists, business leaders and mathematicians into the classroom. Our lawmakers would learn from being in and observing the classroom, and from holding similar town halls regularly with educators.
Such forums would let lawmakers get past the one-size-fits-all solutions — the textbook solutions — and discover, finally, unique solutions that are already working for teachers all over our country.
Kerry Matthews of Olive Branch, a former fifth-grade teacher at Center Hill Elementary in DeSoto County, instructs teachers in how to use technology for WatchKnowLearn.org.

After looking at the district's figures, Chubb, the Edison executive vice president, deems the math results "mixed." Dave Heistad, director of research and evaluation for the Minneapolis school district, has somewhat stronger words. "It's not a pretty picture in math," says Heistad. Both men, however, agree that one year is too short to fully evaluate Edison's scores.
On one of the first days of the 1999-2000 school year, Devrae Gilreath--one of five teachers remaining at Edison from last year--methodically calls out a countdown, giving her fourth-grade students the signal to move on to a new activity. The kids, dressed in neatly pressed black-and-white school uniforms, settle into their seats and tidy up their tables.
Beverly Bjork, still serving as the start-up director for the school's first three months this year, takes over the class while Gilreath heads for a library whose shelves--nearly empty when WCCO covertly came calling a year ago--are now filled with books. In the quiet setting, she almost visibly exudes energy, arms gesturing and earrings bouncing as she talks.
"I'll be honest, it was extremely challenging here last year," Gilreath acknowledges. "Much more challenging than a Minneapolis public school. But when you're challenged, it stretches you to grow. I don't want to ever be in a job where I could do it with my eyes closed.
"I don't think the Edison Design is for everyone," she continues. "But if you follow the Edison Design, you see the positive energy and you see the kids really growing. Everybody is so energized and excited about working here this year."
Louise Sundin, the teachers' union president who dealt with a steady stream of Edison complaints last year, takes a more cautious view. "If they want to say it was all start-up problems, that's fine," Sundin says. "Now it's time to see what's due to start-up and what's systemic."
