Ferris: Anybody want a sundae? I'm sorry, old buddy, I don't recollect the name. The face is vaguely familiar, but the name escapes me. I'll tell you what my problem is. I'm in the middle of a nightmare I can't wake up from. And you're part of it. You and the ice cream and the police station and the phone booth., that little mannequin. This whole bloody town wherever it is - whatever it is. I just remembered something, Scrooge said it, you remember Scrooge, old buddy, Ebeneezer Scrooge? That's what he said to that ghost Jacob Marley. He said, "You may be an undigested bit of beef, a crumb of cheese, a blot of mustard, a fragment of an undone potato, but there's more of gravy than of grave about you." You see, that's what you are. You're what I had for dinner last night. You must be. But now I've had it, I'd like to wake up. I'd like to wake up now. If I can't wake up, at least I'd like to find somebody to talk to. Well, I must be a very imaginative guy. Nobody in the whole bloody world could have a dream as complete as mine. Right down to the last detail.
Reporter #2: What happened to him toward the end, General, before he pushed that button or whatever it was? Air Force General: What happened to him is that he cracked. Delusions of some kind we assume. But let me tell you all something, gentlemen. If any one of you were confined in a box five feet square for two and a half weeks, all by your lonesome without hearing a human voice other than your own, I'll give you especially good odds that your imagination would run away with you, too, such as his obviously did.
Ferris: Just off my rocker, huh, doc? Doctor: Just a kind of a nightmare that your mind manufactured for you. You see, we can feed the stomach with concentrates, we can supply microfilm for reading, recreation, even movies of a sort. We can pump oxygen in and waste material out, but there's one thing we can't simulate that's a very basic need. Man's hunger for companionship. The barrier of loneliness. That's one thing we haven't licked yet. Ferris: Next time it won't just be just a box in a hanger, will it? Air Force General: No, Mike. Next time you'll really be alone.
Ferris: Hey, don't go away up there. Next time, it won't be a dream or a nightmare. Next time, it'll be for real. So don't go away. We'll be up there in a little while.
Colonel: What was it like, sir? Where did you think you were? Mike: A place I don't want to go again, sir. A town. A town without people.
Mike: (unknowingly addressing a mannequin) Look, I don't want you to think I'm nuts or anything. It's nothing like that. It's just that, well... it's just that I don't seem to remember who I am.
Narrator: There is a sixth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the sunlight of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area that might be called the Twilight Zone.
(Closing Narration) Narrator: Up there, up there in the vastness of space, in the void that is sky, up there is an enemy known as isolation. It sits there in the stars waiting. Waiting with the patience of eons. Forever waiting...in the Twilight Zone.

Movie Tome guide
The city lot that can be seen in this episode is the same city block that was used in all of the Back to the Future movies.
The pilot episode was filmed at Universal-International studios [which is why a movie marquee announced the studio's Battle Hymn (1956), starring Rock Hudson, was playing in the theater]. The series was filmed at MGM.
In the original unaired version of the pilot episode, Westbrook Van Voohris (better known as the narrator of the radio and newsreel series The March Of Time") was the narrator. Serling and CBS decided not use him in the series because he sounded "too pompous". Orson Welles' name was then suggested, but his asking price as narrator was considered too high for primary sponsor General Foods {Sanka}. Then someone suggested that Rod himself be the narrator...
The pilot version of this episode is included on Image-Entertainment's Volume 43 DVD. It includes an 8 minute intro from Rod Serling, directed at companies considering sponsoring the show.
The intro that was used during the first season was as follows: "There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition; and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone."
This episode features no fantastical, science fiction, or supernatural elements. Serling was purportedly dissatisfied with this and when he wrote up the story for one of the TZ anthologies, he added a bit at the end where Ferris finds a movie ticket in his pocket from his "hallucination."
The broadcast version of this episode is included on Image-Entertainment's Treasures of The Twilight Zone DVD.
Trivia (109)
While Ferris is speaking to the mockup, a fly appears, it lands on the car door and remains there.
In the end credits, Jay Overholts is listed as Jay "Overholt"
The glass face of the booth's clock is broken into more pieces when shown in close-up.
Denton passes out and the gun appears to his right hand. When he wakes up, it's next to his left hand.
Although set in the Old West, modern-day (for 1959, anyway) radio antennas can be glimpsed off in the distance.
The windshield on the convertible in the opening scene at the service station, with the camera shooting from the rear of the car, is so opaque or occluded that it would have been impossible to have seen through to drive.
For all the creativity Bedeker put into his attempts to cash in on endangering his life, he seems not to have considered ways to avoid the life sentence. He could attempt to escape, for example. He certainly wouldn't be killed in the attempt, after all.
Actor Nesdon Booth's credit is mispelled as "Nesden Booth" in the closing credits.
Allusions (21)
The lead character alludes to Robert Frost - a writer who wrote famous poems and books.
The quote: "The best laid plans of mice and men" (as well as the book "Of Mice and Men") is taken from the poem "To a Mouse."
The title is taken from Shakespeare's Hamlet. It is part of the "To Be or Not to Be" soliloquy wherein Hamlet ponders the nature of life, death and his very existence. The full line reads: "To die, - To sleep, - To sleep ! Perchance to dream: - ay, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life;"
Maggie: Me and Electra. Referencing Eugene O'Neill's Mourning Becomes Electra (1931). The play, set during the American Civil War, is an update of the myth of Orestes.
The episode title is a reference to the poem "The Arrow and the Song" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
The title is taken from Shakespeare's "Richard II" The complete line reads: "He is come to open the purple testament of bleeding war".
Of Mice and Men: When he is fired, Bevis comments, "The best-laid plans of mice and men... and Bevis." This is a misquote from Robert Burns's poem, To a Mouse, which is often quoted as, "The best-laid plans of mice and men go oft awry."
Title Referencing the short story by Washington Irving (1819), where the title character sleeps through 20 years and wakes up to find that the American Revolution has occurred and most of what he knew has long since disappeared.

SEATTLE (AP) — The Texas Rangers thought they had a three-game sweep of the Seattle Mariners locked up after an RBI single from A.J. Pierzynski gave Texas a 3-2 lead in the 11th inning.
Nathan blows first save of season as Rangers fall
Joe Nathan was coming on to close and he had yet to blow a save on the road in his two seasons with the Rangers. Nathan had been so dominant he had converted his last 36 straight road save opportunities dating back to 2011. But Raul Ibanez came through as he jumped on a first pitch fastball Nathan left up over the plate for a solo home run to give the Mariners continued life and Nathan his first blown save of the season.
"If you throw it into the zone, then he is pretty good at hitting it," Nathan said. "...He doesn't miss it too often when you put it there."
Elvis Andrus reached third with one out in the 13th inning but the Rangers were unable to drive in the go-ahead run off Mariners reliever Yoervis Medina (1-0). The Mariners finally took advantage after missed opportunities in the ninth and 12th innings.
After nearly homering off Nathan in the 11th, Jason Bay came through with an RBI single off Michael Kirkman (0-1) in the bottom of the 13th inning to drive in Carlos Triunfel and hand the Rangers a 4-3 loss.
"Any time you lose — especially when you go to extra innings — it's difficult but they took it from us," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "We had our chance. They took it back and they finally took it from us."
Jurickson Profar hit a leadoff home run off Mariners starter Hisashi Iwakuma. Texas scored again in the second after hits by Nelson Cruz and Mitch Moreland put runners in scoring positions. Leonys Martin drove in Cruz on a sacrifice fly to give the Rangers a 2-0 lead.
The Mariners left a pair of runners stranded in both the fourth and fifth innings before finally breaking through against Nick Tepesch in the sixth. Kyle Seager doubled down the right field line and Morales homered to knot the game at 2.
Tepesch went 5 2-3 innings for Texas, allowing just five hits and two runs. He walked one and struck out six.
The Rangers fumbled an opportunity to possibly retake the lead in the seventh inning. After a leadoff double from Adrian Beltre, Cruz struck out swinging at a ball in the dirt. Beltre was caught between second and third base as the ball bounced away from Mariners catcher Jesus Sucre. Cruz tried to take first base on the play but collided with Sucre and was ruled out on batter's interference. Sucre then ran down Beltre and he was called out for running out of the baseline.

Game »
consists of 6 releases.
Released Sep 15, 2009
Achievements are extra challenges added into video games that sometimes carry a point value or unlock bonus material, and are sometimes solely for bragging rights.
The ability to fling yourself around the environment gracefully. Wall-running, jumping, massive drops, climbing, and other physical activities are what acrobatics is all about.
Some games offer alternate modes or specific sections of the storyline that involve arena combat, gladiator style.
Auto-aiming (or Auto-targeting) allows for a character to attack or interact with an object or enemy that's very near to the player or within their field of vision.
Baditude is being "edgy" in an obviously forced or fake manner. Games with baditude often feature excessive swearing, gratuitous violence, and content meant to shock or offend.
A proprietary video codec (.bik extension) developed by RAD Game Tools and used in a very large number of video games.
Necessary to sustain life in organic creatures, the crimson fluid known as blood tends to make appearances when the body's structure is compromised in some way, a very, very common occurrence in videogames.
When blood will splash textures on walls or floors and even roofs.
Bullet time is a gameplay mechanic that allows players to slow down time. Depending on the game itself, the player often slows down along with the world around them, however occasionally the player can simply move at normal speed while the game world continues to slow.
There's nothing cooler than planting a bomb, turning the camera around, and walking away nonchalantly as it blows up behind you.
Collectibles are items such as coins, rings, gems, packages etc. that can be gathered, usually for some kind of reward, or sometimes to simply beat a level. Often (almost too often) the source of earning achievements and trophies on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
A non-interactive sequence within a game most often used for plot advancement.
An achievement that is unlocked for completing a game on a certain difficulty level, sometimes granting the achievements for all lower difficulties, and sometimes not.
Sometimes you want a challenge, sometimes you wanna coast.
The severing of limbs is a good way for designers to make every battle a bloodier, gorier mess. Or sillier in the right situations.
Dolby Digital is an audio compression technology codec first used in movie theaters. It's now commonly used in many modern day audio/video media formats, including video games.
Games whose titles are meant to be taken more than one way.
The concept of using two weapons at once, often for more damage at the cost of accuracy, the use of a shield, grenades, or other similar accessories.
Long elevator rides meant to hide the game loading.
The ability for players to manipulate objects in the environment and use them as weapons. An example of this gameplay mechanic is Half-Life 2, in which players make use of a Gravity Gun to launch objects with deadly force.
To elude, escape, or get away from. Some games require you to escape from some people or things to perform some objective or avoid death.
An environmental hazard that can be exploited to inflict massive areal damage, exploding barrels are one of the most ubiquitous objects to be found in games. The most common methods of ignition include shooting and throwing. Exploding barrels are usually distinguished from the non-exploding kind by a conspicuous red tint.
A powerful release of energy. This energy is usually expelled in all directions very quickly, typically giving off orange or red flames.
Extreme violence pertains to excessive amounts of blood, gore, or violent acts. These include decapitation, mutilation, dismemberment, amputation, defenestration, disembowelment, torture and much more. Chainsaws usually produce the best excessive violence, while guns simply provide more blood spray.
A scripted sequence or level where the character is falling from a greatheight. This may include avoiding hitting debris or battling enemies (or sometimes both) while free falling.
This concept is for games where the main playable character is female.
Fog plays an important role in many games. In games like Silent Hill, it's an atmospheric element. In other games, it's artificially added to reduce framerate and draw distances to save memory.
Graphic Filters are removable filters that change the look of the graphics in a game. They can range from making a game look like an old film, to smoothing the pixellated graphics of an old game.
Grindhouse films are low-budget exploitation films that revel in hardcore violence and overt sexual themes while unapologetic about their low production values. These games emulate the grindhouse aesthetic.
Havok Physics (Havok) is a physics API developed by Irish company Havok and released in 2000. It is used in video games as a physics engine, allowing for realistic interactions between in-game entities.

As with all Friday episodes we have reviews for you today including 22 Jump Street and How to Train Your Dragon 2, plus some comments after Brad saw Snowpiercer and The Rover. On top of that we have a HomeDepot.com story for you, more chatter regarding today's movie stars, your questions, games and even a voice mail.
If you are on Twitter, we have a Twitter account dedicated to the podcast at @bnlpod. Give us a follow won'tcha?
I want to remind you that you can call in and leave us your comments, thoughts, questions, etc. directly on our Google Voice account, which you can call and leave a message for us at (925) 526-5763, which may be even easier to remember at (925) 5-BNL-POD. Just call, leave us a voice mail and we'll add those to the show and respond directly.
An alternative to that option is a new way of leaving us a voicemail directly from your computer. Just click here and no matter where you live in the world, all you need is a microphone and Internet connection and you can leave us a voicemail. Look forward to hearing from you!
As always, I have broken down this episode on a minute-by-minute basis if you would like to skip ahead and below I have featured the information on how to download the podcast, find us on iTunes or merely just listen in your browser.

- 21:06-23:59 - [Listener Question] Have you ever watched a documentary about an injustice or social issue and felt so incensed, you took action afterwards? [andyluvsfilms]
- 24:00-27:25 - [Listener Question] Saw X-Men: DOFP and loved it, One question I have that might venture into spoiler territory is this (Spoilers): Near the end, when everything comes to a climactic end, and the sentinels are killing everyone in the future, bearing down on Kitty Pride, and we're basically waiting for Wolverine's consciousness to slip into his future body, that bugged me. It felt like forced tension that happens in every movie. it was just too much of a coincidence that things in the past were lining up perfectly with things in the future and it was a countdown that was supposed to make us tense, but it's OBVIOUS it's all going to turn out right. Do these forced tension situations bug you guys? or is it just something we should come to expect from most movies, especially Marvel? Loved the movie overall, but that situation frustrated me. [Mitch]
- 27:26-31:13 - [Listener Question] The element of surprise is no doubt one of the great things about seeing a new movie. As such, I find that watching films multiple times in a relatively short period sometimes leaves me feeling a bit underwhelmed by the film, since everything moves a little slower the second or third time around -- this seems to occur most often with blockbusters. However, I saw Edge of Tomorrow again Wednesday night, just 4 days removed from seeing it for the first time (loved it), and it felt just as swift and exciting the second go-round as it did the first. What do you think explains? Is it the fact that the film is largely character- and story-driven as opposed to being almost exclusively action-focused? [Jordan B.]
- 31:14-32:02 - [Listener Question] How often do you pay to see a film again in theaters if you've already seen it at a press screening (or any other type of screenings you princely folk are invited to)? [Jordan B.]
- 32:03-33:24 - [Listener Question] How long do you typically wait between viewings to see a film again in theaters, when you decide to do so? [Jordan B.]
- 33:25-35:48 - [Listener Question] I keep hearing people talk about Channing Tatum being a legitimate movie star. While 'Magic Mike' was good, do either of you think he's a genuinely good actor? I look at his IMDB page and don't find any of his other performances to be that great. [Jon Sullivan]

- 1:37:05-1:41:10 - [Listener Question] How do *you* know if an actor is "good" or not? Who would you say is a bad actor? Many people will say someone is a good actor or a bad actor. Many people will disagree about whether an actor is good or not. I myself don't feel comfortable evaluating whether an actor is good or not. For instance, I have enjoyed every Keanu Reeves performance I've seen him in (The Matrix, Constantine, Speed, Bill & Ted). I wouldn't say he's a bad actor at all. However, he wouldn't be suitable for every movie role. Would you say that any actor could be good in the right role? [Classic Wingers]

The Summer 2014 Movie Box-Office Draft competition involved both Brad and Laremy "drafting" ten films each in hopes of scoring the largest net total by taking a film's worldwide gross subtracting two-and-a-half-times the reported budget. The film must be released in May through August 2014. The draft took place on April 29, 2014 during the RopeofSilicon Podcast which you can listen to right here.
Listed above is all the most recent data as of this post. Budgetary information is not necessarily accurate and will most likely not be accurate until closer to or after each film's release.
The outro music on this episode is Clint Mansell's "In the Wall Side 2" courtesy of Death Waltz Recording Company.

Mississippi State head coach John Cohen said his team hasn't practiced like a team that got swept this past weekend.
Rather, Cohen has seen his club with high spirits even after a three-game sweep by LSU this past weekend.
"Our kids, their energy level, their tempo, everything is great," Cohen said. "I'm really excited about (Thursday's) practice and our kids are really motivated to hopefully play well in front of some record crowds this weekend."

Meet Jennifer Rubin, a columnist who seems to believe that being anti-choice has granted her both a medical degree and a seat in the legislature. She took advantage of her large platform in the Washington Post on May 1 to argue for intense restrictions on abortion access, using the horrors of Kermit Gosnell's "clinic" as justification for claiming that abortion is inherently dangerous and needs to be tightly regulated.
She's not the only one. Many anti-choice commentators like her seem to believe that their position as "advocates for the unborn" grants them a unique perspective from which to speak, allowing them to bounce through medical school, boards and residency to become fully practicing physicians with extensive experience in patient care. Those who become legislators are even worse, wielding not only the power of rhetoric but also the strength of the law.
As long as anti-choice advocates think they can dictate the practice of medicine in the United States, women's lives are at risk. And the rate at which this trend is occurring is in a rapid state of acceleration, with more and more states passing legislation specifically aimed at limiting abortion access. Their argument is that abortion is dangerous and patients need more protection, despite the fact that this flies in the face of scientific research on the subject. 0.3% of abortion patients experience complications significant enough that they need to go to the hospital, making it an extremely safe procedure, especially when performed early.
Did I mention that abortion, like other medical procedures, is already regulated? An extensive network of laws, agencies, and policies set forth by professional organizations dictates the practice of medicine, including abortion and related services, in the United States. Clinics offering medical services must undergo inspections, adhere to the rule of the law, and submit to additional scrutiny if they want to belong to groups like the National Abortion Federation.
Such legislation, known as Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers (TRAP), can take aim at a number of things to make it more difficult for people to provide abortions, and for patients to access them. Common tactics involve stricter regulation of abortion clinics, such as reclassifying them to outpatient surgical centers, mandated ultrasounds and other procedures, and requirements for waiting periods, as well as hospitalization requirements. These may require fundamental structural changes to clinics that are too expensive to implement, effectively shutting them down. Legislators, meanwhile, can claim innocence when people complain; after all, they were just protecting patients!
One such example can be seen in Virginia, which recently tightened building codes on abortion clinics and abortion clinics only. Almost immediately, clinics were forced to close because they couldn't meet the building standards, ostensibly put in place to help in an emergency, but really designed to make it too expensive for clinics to remain operational.
Gosnell's "clinic" has been used as an example of how dangerous abortion can be, but it's really an illustration of what happens when TRAP laws, poverty and social pressures combine to drive women underground for abortion. As anti-choice advocates use the dire conditions at his clinic as an illustration for the need for tighter regulation, they ignore the fact that existing regulations already mandate inspections and other safety measures, and that care providers are very committed to patient care and safety.
The distortion of the reality of abortion care is a huge issue with anti-choice advocates playing doctor; for example, they repeatedly insist that there should be bans on "late-term" abortion or "partial-birth" abortion, a term which is not medically recognized. This despite the fact that according to CDC statistics, less than 1.5% of abortions take place after 21 weeks, and almost 92% were performed at less than 13 weeks — numbers which could change if women can't access timely abortion care.
As, for example, if a series of waiting periods and required counseling makes it difficult to get enough time off to get an early abortion.
The more the right plays doctor, the harder it is for actual doctors to provide medical care. With growing restrictions on the safe practice of medicine, doctors may find themselves in situations where they face conflicts between ethical patient care and the law, or situations where they don't even know what's legal because legislators have such a limited understanding of medicine that they've written laws too broadly to be interpreted. Doctors, as the deceased Dr. Tiller once said, should be able to "trust women" to make informed decisions about their health in consultation with an informed clinician, but anti-choice advocates are making that more and more difficult.
Regulation of medicine is absolutely critical, but it's best left to people without political agendas.

Thank you!
Thank you.
John...I owe you a SHOWER of green stars for those comments! WELL DONE!
Sherrie B. you explained yourself beautifully and I think you spoke for perhaps all people who are pro womens choice. How dare anyone attempt to dictate to another a decision which can only be made in the depth of a womans heart? If you oppose abortion dont have one. But no one gives a damn how you feel about it. If you think your god disapproves, pay attention, no one gives a damn. Anothers god feels very differently about the subject and your god is no more important than anyone elses. Nor is your god of any importance to someone who doesnt believe in god. You are entitled to any religious belief but keep it to yourself. If you think you know the mind of god on any subject you are a damned fool; no human has that capability.
thanks for the post
Cyan....at LEAST ten people here have reminded you that your opinions are your own (and you're welcome to them, of course) just as other women have every right to make their own decisions.
You may prattle on with dubious ''statistics'' and half-truths all you wish, but I, for one of MANY, will no longer read your posts.
As someone else here said...MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS AND SHUT UP ABOUT MY REPRODUCTIVE CHOICES!
Cyan, you can count me in that 52% of "sometimes" legal people, but I am pro-choice. I think any woman should be able to get an abortion in the first trimester, no questions asked, for any reason.
Second trimester abortions should be safe, legal, and rare. Acceptable reasons might be illness, exposure to toxins that might damage the fetus, unforeseen financial hardships, etc. Third trimester, or late-term, abortions should be available only for the mother's health/life or gross fetal abnormalities. I do think that if a woman/couple find out in the third trimester that their fetus has either life-threatening or profound mental defects that abortion should be an option.
Not everyone has either the financial nor mental resources to cope with a profoundly damaged child, nor is it fair to a child to live like the Santorum baby - constantly in pain for her whole short life. You wouldn't do that to your DOG. But in the end, only that family can assess the impact on themselves and any other children already in the home.
But don't think all of those "sometimes legal" people ONLY think in terms of rape/incest/life of mother exceptions. A lot of people have views similar to mine. Which are, BTW, pretty much the status quo before all the wingnuts went to town on women's rights.
Cyan -- As you do so often, you post a lot of words, but they 'say' very little. An argument, or a point of discussion, does not carry by how many words are used in its defense. It is the cogency of logic and self-supporting truth that the words convey.
Your words rarely convey anything of cogency, and as they do here, they merely frivolously deny and defy those basic FACTS which don't happen to line up with your malignant world view. They are a DEFLECTION from cogency.
So instead of playing your game of "feed the frantic Teatard", I will get to the bottom line for you arrogant meddlers in other people's lives:
-- You have a right to your beliefs about abortion, and you are free to carry them out on yourself and to advocate them within your own family.
-- You have NO right to invest and hinder my freedoms or my family's freedoms with your beliefs. Civil rights is NOT about majority rule. Rightwing drama queens like yourself are free to vote for people who enslave you in your local regions of Dumbf**kistan; but the Bill of Rights says that your feeble beliefs about majority enslavement do NOT apply to my civil rights.
-- Mind your own business; I suspect it needs much minding, given the malformed intellect at play with unpatriotic themes.
Cyan said "The fact remains that with or without exceptions the majority oppose abortion."
If a person says abortion should be legal in "under some circumstances" or "sometimes legal" you don't get to count them them as "anti-abortion" particularly when 70% of people DO NOT want Roe v. Wade overturned.
You can't just twist polls and make shit up to support your opinion. All of my poll stats were cited with links, so folks can see for themselves.
I am sorry that facts are getting in the way of your argument (that is a problem most folks on the right seem to have), but you just have to deal with it.

Bmp7 maintains Pax7 expression in satellite cells. Satellite cells were cultured on myofibers for 18 hours under standard (A-D) or serum free (SR) (E-L) conditions. (A-D) p-Smad colocalize with Pax7 in standard medium. (I-L) In serum free cultures Bmp7 treatment induces p-Smad phosphorylation in Pax7-positive cells. In untreated cultures p-Smad cannot be detected (E-H). Absence of p-Smad causes a severe downregulation of Pax7. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI. Magnification is 400×. (M) Analysis of the mean fluorescent intensity of the Pax7 signal in satellite cells revealed a downregulation to 50% in the absence of Bmp7 treatment (n = 30 satellite cells per treatment from 3 individual experiments, * p = 0.005, Wilcoxon test). Magnification is 400×. SR = serum replacement.

The world's biggest games convention has just flown by, with dozens upon dozens of games being shown off in the crowded halls of Gamescom 2014 in Germany.

PS4 Exclusive Bloodborne Features Health Regeneration, Encourages Offensive Combat
"For all of Dark Souls developer From Software's talk about Bloodborne being opened up to a "wider audience" than its spiritual predecessors, and the gameplay concessions to less experienced players that would entail, it sure as hell doesn't look like this game is going to be easy." Read more here.
There's More to Quantum Break Than You Might Think
"Quantum Break is a game about a man seeking to rescue the very fabric of time. But if you caught the gameplay demo that Remedy debuted on stage at Microsoft's Gamescom 2014 press conference, you might be under the impression that time must be rescued with a whole lot of gunfire and slow-motion punches to the face." Read more here.
Dead Island 2
Why Mortal Kombat X Has Renewed My Enthusiasm for the Series
"For the first time in a while, I'm ready to give Mortal Kombat another shot. After experiencing Mortal Kombat X first hand at Gamescom, my suspicions based on the initial gameplay videos are confirmed; Mortal Kombat X is the most fluid entry in the series to date." Read more here.
Until Dawn's Hollywood-Infused PS4 Reboot is Absolutely Terrifying
"Originally unveiled as Move game on PlayStation 3, Until Dawn has now ditched the Move controller and the PS3 for Sony's shiny new Dualshock 4 and PS4. But the biggest change to the game comes from its new stylistic direction." Read more here.
Forza Horizon 2 Lets You Hang Out in a Van Down by the River
"Microsoft and Playground Games are showing a new demo of Forza Horizon 2 here at Gamescom 2014, and it's one that's absolutely packed with new features.

Read more here.
Battlefield Hardline
PixelJunk Developer Reveals Details of Genre-Bending PS4 Exclusive The Tomorrow Children
"Confused by the reveal of Q-Games' The Tomorrow Children during Sony's Gamescom press conference? You're not the only one." Read more here.
Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain - Horse Poop, Wolves, and Twin Snakes. Oh My!
"At the start of today's demo, Snake rode on horseback into an enemy base situated in Afghanistan. As in the E3 demo, Snake's horse, for lack of a better word, defecated in the road after riding a few meters into enemy territory, but it actually served a practical purpose this time around." Read more here.
How the Assassinations in Assassin's Creed Unity Encourage Patience and Creativity
"Its assassinations, nicknamed "black box missions" by the development team at Ubisoft Montreal, look like a return to the more sandbox-driven approach of old..but with some modern twists." Read more here.
Making Friends With Yaks and Snow Leopards in Far Cry 4
"This high up, in the ruins of an old monastery, the scenery is dominated by snow, rocky cliffs, and howling winds. But though my mission seems like a challenging one, I've got one secret weapon at my disposal: yaks." Read more here.
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Raises More Questions Than It Answers, and I'm Just Fine With That
"Exploring this world from a first-person perspective, I was immediately reminded of games like Gone Home or the upcoming Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. There's an unsettling stillness to it all." Read more here.
Four Reasons I'm Suddenly Interested in Assassin's Creed Rogue
"But you know what? Maybe I was too quick to write off Rogue. I'm still not entirely sold on it, but after getting some hands-on time with the Gamescom 2014 demo, I'm ready to give Assassin's Creed Rogue another look. Here are a few reasons why." Read more here.

Dr. Jeff Golub-Evans, a cosmetic dentist on Manhattan's Upper East Side, says an elderly patient of his who worked on the design of the Kennedy White House told him that he once stumbled on a prominent member of the household coming out of the bathroom holding a bottle of Clorox. "He said to her, 'There are people who can clean that for you.'"
Mercifully, less toxic methods abound now. But the range of options can make the mind grow foggy.
Golub-Evans, whose celebrity clients include Usher, Hugh Jackman and Kim Cattrall, offers his guidance with minty-refreshing candor.
"Peroxide is peroxide," he says. "Whether it's in drugstore whitening strips or a professional bleaching gel, it's the same ingredient, just in different concentrations. Strips can actually get your teeth almost as white as a pro treatment, it just takes longer."
So, is time or money more precious to you? And keep in mind that not everyone is a good candidate for whitening (teeth with a grayish cast, for example, might not get results). But if you decide to pursue it, Golub-Evans' general overview might help you decide what's right for you. Then, once you do bleach, avoid most colored mouthwashes. "Those are the most insidious, especially alcohol-based ones," Golub-Evans says. "The alcohol evaporates, and the colorant, just like red wine, is what's left on your teeth."
Whitening Strips
Process: You affix store-bought strips containing peroxide to teeth at home.
Peroxide strength: 9-12 percent
Whitening ability: 3-6 shades lighter
Cost: About $45
Time commitment: 30 minutes a day for up to two weeks
To consider: "Strips are my first choice for over-the-counter," Golub-Evans says, adding that he recommends the Crest brand. "I don't work for them, but I like the product very much, because it's a measured dose of peroxide." Some over-the-counter whiteners use trays into which the bleach is squeezed. "I much prefer the gel being attached permanently to a strip because it can't wander all over your mouth. Any of the other products, I don't think have the same level of safety."
In-Office Bleaching
Process: A dentist paints teeth with a peroxide gel, then shines a blue light on them to accelerate the bleaching.
Peroxide strength: 15-35 percent
Whitening ability: 6-10 shades lighter
Cost: Generally, at least $500
Time commitment: About an hour
To consider: Many practices are offering discounts right now; it's a good time to shop around. Also, this method can cause less irritation than other whitening methods, Golub-Evans says. "It's the highest percentage of peroxide," he says, "but it's not so much the percentage as the contact time that determines sensitivity."
Take-Home Trays
Process: A dentist custom-fits bleaching trays that are to be worn regularly at home.
Peroxide strength: 5-11 percent
Whitening ability: 6-10 shades lighter
Cost: $200-$600
Time commitment: 30 minutes a day for up to two weeks
To consider: Your self-discipline. Golub-Evans says his dentist has made several bleaching trays for him in the last five years. "I never follow through. It doesn't work for me. What works is for me to sit in a chair for one hour and then I'm done." Another caveat: These can cause sensitivity if you overextend the time or overdose the peroxide.

Sweet! Unelected And Unaccountable Department To Have Your Bank Records
Personally, I am always amused at how Democrats position themselves through words as paragons of civil liberties, yet, when push comes to legislation, privacy and protection from government goes right out the window
The next time you make a withdrawal from an automated teller machine, Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner might be watching over your shoulder. Boosted by the sweeping, 1,400-page financial regulatory proposal currently making its way through the Senate, Mr. Geithner would have unprecedented, real-time access to a wealth of personal and corporate financial data – all in the name of protecting the public.
The legislation, sponsored by Senate banking committee Chairman Christopher J. Dodd, would create the innocuously named Office of Financial Research as a central repository for transaction-related records held by financial companies. According to proponents, "decision-makers" like Mr. Geithner need up-to-the-minute information to act in order to prevent what they refer to as another Wall Street meltdown. The proposed agency would also provide statistical analysis and research, purportedly to monitor systemic risk to the financial system.
And all without any sort of warrant.
Yet the details of the proposal show that this new agency's mission is not meant to be limited to improving the quality of financial data. Mr. Dodd's legislation would grant the agency director the coercive power of subpoena to obtain records and rulemaking authority to force private-sector firms to maintain their internal financial records in a format acceptable to the government. The legislation also grants sweeping authority to maintain a data center that would collect and maintain "all data necessary" to carry out the director's wishes. Needless to say, the government's history of losing hard drives and laptops filled with sensitive information suggests entrusting more to a federal agency is not a smart idea.
Waiting for the ALCU to jump in in 3….2…..wait, they aren't? There is nothing on the ACLU website, nor do we find any articles by searching "ACLU Office Of Financial Research"? I thought they would be rather upset about the government giving unelected and unaccountable people (who are going to get paid quite a lot to do the job) the ability to data mine our personal financial records. As the American Spectator points out, the data would also not be protected and confidential, and could be shared across government agencies. No, no, nothing could possibly go wrong.
"As we read this legislation, the CFPB could mine for whatever data they want, bank card activities of a subset of American citizens, credit card debt and payment patterns, who is spending money on whatever," says a Senate committee source. "And if the business community isn't already scared out of their minds, they should be."
In one example the staffer raised, the Obama Administration-created agency might want to track whether U.S. consumers "were spending too much" or cutting into savings rates. "They could, as we read the bill, monitor your spending habits, and it's not clear what that agency could or could not do with the data," says the aide.
I'm still waiting to find any liberal who is upset with this. They pitched hissy fits over listening to overseas calls between non-Americans without a warrant, let's just call them terrorists, yet, crickets on this. Shocker!
