"We will miss her, but we are happy and proud of her. We wouldn't be in such a good place if she hadn't worked so hard at the museum," said Alex Bell.
Bell, president of the Kidsenses Children's Museum board of directors, and many other friends of the museum attended a reception on Thursday to wish Jessica Moss, former executive director of the museum, well in her new career. Moss, who was named director in 2010, left the museum in July to become the director of development with the American Heart Association's Mid-Atlantic Affiliate Office.
"I'm going to be working with volunteer teams in Cleveland and Catawba County to raise money for the American Heart Association (AHA). Our mission is to eradicate cardiovascular disease and stroke. I will be working out of the Charlotte office, but traveling throughout those communities," Moss said.
Moss made the connection with the AHA during her time working at the museum. She served as the emcee of the Cleveland County Heart Ball for the last three years. The ball is a year-long campaign to raise funds for cardiovascular and stroke research.
"When I was approached about this job, it was really unexpected. But that's how life is I guess," Moss said. "It felt like a good fit because it is working with a much bigger organization and doing a lot of the things that I love doing so much at Kidsenses. But it's also doing that work in smaller communities. That made the opportunity too good to pass up."
Moss began working at Kidsenses in 2008 as its programs and exhibits coordinator and was promoted to director of programs and exhibits in 2009. Moss said she has no plans to relocate at this time.
"I'm commuting and telecommuting for now. I'm still in Rutherford County. My family is here and we're very close. I could not have done the job I did at the museum without my family," Moss said. "My parents in particular have been really great. The museum is very special to all of us. No matter where I am, I always want to continue supporting it because it's so magical and special."
Moss said she will miss the museum and the people who have made it special.
"I'm going to miss being able to see so many of my Rutherford County friends and family who have become parents and grandparents during the time I was there and being able to see them play in the museum with them," Moss said. "It's such a joy to be here and see so many people become parents and fully realize the national treasure that we have in our little community and take advantage of it."
The Kidsenses board of directors has started the process of its search for the next museum director.
"The museum was so fortunate to have Jessica as director. She took Kidsenses to the next level and the work she has done with the museum will serve children for years to come," said Joseph Knight, director of education at the museum. "But since the transition, the museum hasn't missed a beat. Things are going well and strong."
Moss said she wants to continue to visit and help the museum as much as possible.
"This isn't goodbye, it's see you later," Moss said.

Mac Specs: 21.5' iMac i3 3.2GHz, 13.3' MacBook Pro 2.26GHz, iPhone 4(16GB), 160GB iPod Classic
I could argue my point with the iPhone, because it really set the standard for smartphones. And there's no doubt with age, it just got better(and will continue to get better). There's so many useful apps, and while it built upon the concept of smartphones, it took it to another level.
But looking at the iPad which has a larger screen, it really has the capability to change not only the consumer electronics, but also the medical field, education and popularizing the tablet computer market. While I am not to crazy about the iPad being the future of computers, and the "notebook" killer, I would have to say I can't see it happening anytime soon, and I prefer my laptop over one any day.
I am thrilled the idea of a touch-screen computer, and I will buy an iPad when it has a camera, USB ports, and other gizmos. There's endless possibilities with the iPad, and I think it will get better with age, just like the iPhone, the iPod. But my question is, the iPhone changed the life's of many people and being an iPhone owner, I can honestly say my life is a little bit easier. But I also think the iPad can really be a game changer when it adds more features.
So what do you think will be the product that will have the biggest impact?

Sure the ipad and iphone are different products with different functions for a different target audience. But they both have one major thing in common. They change the way in which people traditionally look at computing. A keyboard and a mouse is slowly looking loke old technology. And Apple is slowly realising this and moving to the next level. And as usual all the competition have to play catch up.
As to which product will have the bigger impact based on the tech specs alone, probably the iphone. As everyone thought it would fail. Or at the best do midly ok. No noe guessed the record breaking sales it has actually achieved.
But the idea they both convey that anything is possible. And looking outside the square to something new and innovative is the biggest impact. A world without a keyboard and a mouse. It'll happen one day.

Median pay for Head Chefs & Cooks in the United States is around $12.04 per hour. Residence and experience level each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. Most Head Chefs & Cooks report high levels of job satisfaction. Health benefits are not enjoyed by everyone in this line of work, and more than half lack any coverage at all. Medical benefits are reported by nearly two in five and dental coverage is claimed by slightly less than a third. The majority of Head Chefs & Cooks (65 percent) survey respondents are male. The figures in this rundown are based on the results of PayScale's salary questionnaire.

Head chefs/cooks must understand how kitchen equipment functions and ensure that it is operable and in safe working condition. Additionally, a head chef/cook often supervises the rest of the kitchen staff. Head chefs/cooks are typically responsible for ordering, inventorying, and keeping detailed records of food items and their costs. They must have experience creating menus that assist owners in attracting and maintaining clientele. They also may be responsible for setting menu prices.Read More...
Head chefs/cooks' work environments vary widely; some work in small kitchens with a small number of staff, while others may work in multi-kitchen operations supervising a large number of kitchen staff. This job is usually salaried and offers benefits. Compensation varies depending on restaurant style, location, and the head chef/cook's job experience. This job often requires chefs to work on weekends and/or holidays. Depending on the restaurant's hours, they may work either very early in the morning or very late into the evening.
To be a head chef/cook, individuals must have previous experience with ordering, preparing, and cooking food in a professional setting and with managing a kitchen.

Skills that pay less than market rate include Food Preparation. Most people skilled in Food Preparation are similarly competent in Menu Planning.

Head Chefs & Cooks claiming one to two decades of experience make an estimated median of $30K.

yum. best veggie sandwich in the mission. the Dutch crunch bread is to DIE for. add some avo to spice it up, and we're in business. : )
Posted by Clark Hamon on 02/10/2009
I've been living in the Mission for 5 years. Yes, there are great burritos here, but a lack of good ole American lunch sandwich places - with one exception - Mr. Pickles. Great, fresh food and very good prices. Not really an eat in place though unfortunately. But thumbs up on the food.
Posted by Anonymous on 01/25/2008
Mr. Pickle makes the best sandwich in the Mission, and the second best sandwich in the entire city. Sandwiches are big, made with fresh veggies and bread, and the woman that works there is really nice. Their hours are strange, though, which is the only bummer.
Posted by jic on 01/24/2008
i've worked in the neighborhood for close to a year and have been to nearly every sandwich shop in the mission. this is BY FAR the best one. the sandwiches are delicious, huge, and cheap. the service is quick and friendly, though i'd recommend taking your food elsewhere to enjoy it as there's really nowhere to sit. A+!

"One doesn't support this institution because it's a capitalistic commodity, but because it's neat. Because tree houses temporarily offer the kind of fun that an evening with Mom and Dad ain't gonna."
In April 2012, Marmalefsky returned to Pig Slop. After a solid spring and summer lineup, the space had its last official show on Sunday, July 15, with Demon Lover, Kisser, Bug Chaser and Chicago's Mayor Daley. "At one of our last shows someone noted the ages of audience members ranged from teenagers to mid-fortysomethings," says Marmalefsky. "I was always personally just interested in bringing a broad range of people together to have fun, probably get pretty drunk, listen to live music — any kind of music — and dance." With future plans to live and collaborate together, Marmalefsky and Bethany view the end of Pig Slop as just the beginning of a long-lasting creative partnership.
Although Pig Slop's day has come to a close, the space will live on with its newest leader, Krutie Thakkar. Rebranding the space as mushmaus, Thakkar plans to transform the former Pig Slop venue into both a functioning studio and exhibition space for artists to conceptualize and communicate art with a DIY aesthetic.
St. Louis' long history with the underground venue has been an integral factor in local DIY culture over the past few decades. Equal in importance to the artists and audiences that fill each space, a DIY venue often has but a short window of time to make its mark. From the anarcho-punk days of the 2008 Space and Centro Sociale to the mélange of freeform experimental sound that defined venues like Spooky Action Palace and Open Lot, these places have harbored innovation, creativity and community among music lovers who dare to dig deeper.
"It was an art-damaged antidote, a place where accepted rules could be questioned with exuberance, because this was a space where its sponsors lived, ate, showered and slept," says Stegman of Pig Slop. "If they could do it and still dance at two in the morning, then the rigidity of our workaday lives could be questioned."

In District 4A-6 soccer, there is a definite difference between the upper division teams — Heavener, Fort Gibson and Poteau, who without a doubt are title contenders — and the lower division teams — Hugo, Stilwell and Westville — which are mired deep in the lower division.
The Hugo Buffaloes picked a bad time to roll into Costner Stadium on Wednesday as the Pirates were still upset after Tuesday night's defeat at the hands of the Heavener Wolves in double OT. Then, too, the Buffaloes were minus their starting goaltender, who didn't make grade and had to sit this game out.
The Poteau High School Sports Hall of Fame Committee met Wednesday night and elected an incoming class of 36 inductees to be enshrined next month.
The committee believes that they have an awesome Class for 2012. There will be players, coaches and people who have served their teams with pride and dignity from the 1940s, '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, and 2000s inducted this year. Committee members present were Merl Moss, Pierre Guiellet, Doug Stone, Ronnie Soughton, Charlene McMillin and Jim Marsh.
ALTUS — It may have seemed like a long, six-hour bus trip going out for Wednesday afternoon's make-up road doubleheader against 15th-ranked Western Oklahoma State College for the Carl Albert State College Lady Vikings. However, the trip home probably didn't seem that way.
The Lady Vikings, who were run ruled 13-2 in six innings in the opener, knocked off the nationally-ranked Lady Pioneers 8-7 in nine innings in the nightcap.
The LeFlore County Bass Club had its third tournament of the 2012 circuit Saturday at Chicken Creek on Lake Tenkiller. There were 28 boats with 54 anglers who caught a total of 94 bass weighing a collective totalof 223.5 pounds. The average bass weighed 2.38 pounds, and 13 limits were caught.
The winning team was Joey Chitwood and Tony Parker, who caught 16.75 pounds of fish to earn $675. Among the fish was Chitwood's big bass, weighing 3.87 pounds to earn an additional $270.
HEAVENER — It ended up being a Heavener sweep of Poteau Tuesday at Harvey Stadium on the soccer fields. The Wolves got past the Pirates 3-2 in double overtime to seize control of the district, while the Lady Wolves blanked the Lady Pirates 2-0 in the opener.

Tom Waits Paved the Way for Shrewd Musicians Cashing in on Literal Commercial Success
Williams wasn't content to stop his commercial success with "Happy," though. Crazy Hat Man also granted Red Bull the rights to "Come Get It Bae" (featuring new BFF Miley Cyrus!) for an ad spotlighting the amazing things gutsy people do every day.

The Pixies
Frank Black and friends aren't known for selling their songs for commercial use (though "Where Is My Mind" was used in that weird promotion for the Nicholas Cage movie The Weather Man). So when Apple debuted a new spot for its iPhone 5S last month, people were surprised. It was kind of cute, though, stringing together a bunch of shots of kids building Pixies song "Gigantic" through apps and instruments:
The ad was aptly titled "Powerful," and tastemakers across the country gave it a thumbs-up. There's just one problem: The song isn't really, er, kid friendly. We'll just leave this Wikipedia description of the tune here and let you decide:
The song's voyeuristic lyrics mostly revolve around a woman's observation of an attractive black man making love to another woman, culminating in the oddly light-hearted but sexual chorus: "Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic/A big, big love."
Soooooooo it's a song about a penis. Good move, Apple.

CHURUBUSCO — The Churubusco Lady Eagles were firing on all cylinders Tuesday night against the Lakeland Lady Lakers, picking up a 3-1 win.
In just their third win of the season, Lady Eagles head coach Trinda Goings found the right mix of energetic freshmen and experienced upperclassmen to pull out a conference win.
"We seem to be clicking, the older girls are accepting the young girls that we've moved up," Goings said.
Four Lady Eagles shared 'Busco's blocks on the night, Heather Monk, Haleigh Gross, Chandler Voght, and Nicole Trump.
The Lady Eagles started the match with a quick 25-19 win in game one, followed by a 25-21 loss.
Though 'Busco never gained a lead of more than five, the Lady Eagles held the lead throughout the entire third game, gaining a 25-23 win over the Lady Lakers.
Picking up aces were Ashlie Shelton, Danielle Pippenger and Morgen Young, each with two.
Game four was a long battle, with four lead changes but 'Busco's defense held on for a 25-23 win.
"Our defense did great, Young and Pippenger really helped fuel our offense," Goings said.
Young recorded 22 digs for the night and fellow junior teammate Monk had 15 kills.
"We needed this win to help us get ready for Fairfield Thursday, they're a dynamite team," Goings said. "We're going to have to bring our A+ game."

Track and Field | Tuesday, June 22, 2010
Platano is Chosen Third Team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America
SALEM, ORE. -- Senior distance runner Chris Platano (Myrtle Point, OR/Myrtle Point HS) of Willamette University has been named Third Team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America as chosen by members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Platano was named to the College Division Men's Track & Field/Cross Country Academic All-America Team.
Platano excelled in the classroom throughout his four years at Willamette. He was a Kemper Scholar, received the NCAA Elite 88 Award for the highest cumulative grade point average among competitors at the NCAA Division III Cross Country Championships in 2009, and graduated this spring with a bachelor's degree in Economics. He owned a 3.94 GPA through the fall semester.
Earlier this month, he earned recognition as a First Team ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District VIII selection for the third consecutive year.
Athletes eligible for the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America and Academic All-District teams were starters or key reserves with cumulative GPAs of 3.3 or higher on a 4.0 scale. Each athlete was at his current college or university for at least one academic year.
As a runner for the Bearcats, Platano helped Willamette win three Northwest Conference team titles in cross country (2006, 2007, 2009). He also contributed to WU taking second place in the NWC in cross country in 2008.
Platano placed 15th individually in the NWC in cross country during his senior season. Also in 2009, he took 20th place at the NCAA West Regional in cross country and was a scoring runner for the Bearcats as they finished 20th in the team standings at the NCAA Championships one week later.
In track and field, Platano was a contributor as the Bearcats won the NWC championship in 2009. He also helped WU earn second place NWC finishes in 2007 and 2010.
Platano won an individual NWC title in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in 2009 with a time of 9:32.33. He also placed seventh in the NWC in the steeplechase three times. He was sixth in the NWC in the 5,000-meter run in 2009 and finished eighth in 2010.
The College Division includes athletes in NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and the NAIA. Willamette is a member of NCAA Division III and competes in the Northwest Conference.

How to Create a Vintage Ocean Liner Poster
The period between the end of the 19th century and World War II is considered the golden age of the ocean liner. We'll be starting with a basic sketch of an ocean liner I drew up. Of course I encourage everybody to create their own sketch. I'm not really that great at drawing, so if you really want to have a stunningly looking ocean liner, please create it yourself! If you do decide to use your own drawing, you might want to alter or skip a few of the steps. In this tutorial we're going to create a vintage ocean liner poster. The main tools you'll get to know in this tutorial are the Pathfinder and the Transform Effect.

Personal Readiness
Kennesaw State University recognizes that many emergencies and crises happen quickly with no notice and are over just as fast. Therefore, self preparation and reliance is paramount to surviving any incident.
The KSU Crisis Coordinator Program relies on individually trained Crisis Coordinators within the main buildings on and off campus. These personnel are trained, mostly in evacuation and sheltering in procedures, with many having received first aid and AED (Automatic External Difibulator) training. Personnel will assist you in providing direction and response in case of a crisis.
However, as previously stated, many crisis and emergency situations are over within minutes and you must rely on either your individual training or common sense.
If the Fire Alarms go off, evacuate to an area outside the building at a safe distance. Do not huddle around the main exit doors assuming its a false alarm.
If the Early Warning Sirens go off, shelter in your building and other information as to specific direction will be received either through the ConnectED Early Notification System (SMS texts, cell voice or email) or through the Computer PopUp screens.
Be prepared in your office by having a supply of water and some edible snacks in case of a prolonged sheltering in situation.
Always have your car keys and access badge readily handy in case evacuation results in a prolonged stay away from your work area. Also, ensure your medications are accessible and take them with you.
At home, most authorities suggest keeping at least a 3-day supply of water on hand in case of a disaster. The common definition of a 3-day supply is 3 gallons per person: half to drink and half to use for cooking and sanitation. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) even recommends drinking your half gallon every day during an emergency, regardless of thirst. In hot weather, or for special cases like pregnancy or illness, the CDC recommends drinking closer to a gallon per day.
Have enough dry food for 72 hours as many support and emergency functions may be taxed beyond capacity. The Canned Food Alliance recommends the
minimum amount of food is two cans of food per person, per day.
Refrigeration in an emergency will most likely be interrupted with those having self power generation sustaining this for as long as fuel is accessible or available.

No questions askedOctober 25th, 2013 |
I think us humans are the only species on this planet which creates scenarios and imposes self-invented rules upon itself where it's not allowed to relieve oneself for hours at a time. Granted, we're also the only species that can comfortably take a dump while travelling at 900 km/h at 30,000 feet altitude, so I guess we're cursed and privileged at the same time.
However, I think we all have been where Jason is in this comic. Are there any people out there who do not go quiet in a situation like this? I think that's pretty universal.

Daniel J. Hamlow (Narita, Japan) - See all my reviews
Five years after the fall of the Daleks on Skaro in Evil Of The Daleks, the Daleks reappeared on the small screen in Day Of The Daleks, which was also their third time in colour, counting the two Aaru films.
The international situation from The Mind Of Evil has gotten worse, to the brink of World War III. However, Sir Reginald Styles, vain to the point of arrogance, is the last hope in reconciling the Russians with the Chinese. While working late one night, a guerrilla from the future tries to kill him, and that's what draws UNIT in. The man is later attacked by a brutish Ogron, one of many ape-like humanoid servants who are "as loyal as they are stupid." A trio of other guerrillas try to succeed where their comrade has failed, and capture Jo and the Doctor, who have spent the night at Styles' place. Of these, Anat, the leader, while sharing the fanaticism of her comrades, is civilized. When Boaz, who looks a bit like Tony Curtis, tries to shoot Jo and the Doctor, she says, "We're soldiers, not murderers."
Jo Grant is wearing what I consider a classic Jo Grant outfit--plaid red and blue blouse, red tie, denim skirt, and white go-go boots. As this was the first story of the ninth season, maybe Katy Manning had a few weeks on the beach in the interim. She appears tanner here and more radiant as a result. It also extends to her good charity when sneaking Sgt Benton some wine and cheese.
The Doctor is seen as quite a gourmet, as he helps himself to Sir Reginald's Gorgonzolla cheese and a red wine which he describes as "good humoured... a touch sardonic, not cynical. A most civilized wine."
Although not specifically stated, the Controller's monotone female staff may be a vast improvement on the Robotization process (Dalek Invasion Of Earth).
The notable guest star here is Aubrey Woods (the Controller), who played the goldsmith in The Abominable Dr. Phibes but is probably best known as the candy store owner Bill in Willy Wonka. His defense to the Daleks that "for every guerrilla cell that's destroyed, another takes its place" reminds me of what Israel faced in the 1980's against the Palestinians.
One goof in Episode 1 is where the Gold Dalek talks slower, enunciating each syllable. Fortunately it gets better in the remaining episodes--maybe he hadn't taken his Dalek pep pills then. BTW, one Dalek speaks in a lower register (not a goof) while the others are more shrill. Maybe he sings bass in the Dalek choir.
Another is the guerrilla Shura putting his gun down and trying to contact headquarters. When an Ogron jumps him, his gun is back in his holster.
A third is the Doctor and Jo seeing their future selves while the Doctor is fiddling with the TARDIS. Hopefully, the ending would have had them seeing their past (when they were fixing the TARDIS.) It is included in the novelization, but I guess there were time constraints.
A classic Daleks story, and the first of three Dalek encounters by the Third Doctor. UNIT maintains its credibility as an effective fighting force, and Jo Grant has never been any prettier than here. Be sure and tell your friends if you like this video, and don't forget to tell it to the marines.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly amazing SPECIAL EDITION release,
Derek Draven - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doctor Who: Day of the Daleks (DVD)
'Day of the Daleks' was never considered to be one of the best Dalek stories. A shoestring budget, underwhelming sets and sonically incorrect Dalek voices made it an interesting, yet altogether distracting entry in traditional Dalek lore. 2011's DVD release of the serial brings it all back for purists while adding a 2nd disc that includes a Special Edition of the story, which we'll touch on later.
The story focuses on the third Doctor (Jon Pertwee) during his affiliation with UNIT on Earth. A peace conference is being headed by Sir Reginald Styles, a British diplomat who has been trying to prevent the nations of the world from decaying to the brink of World War III. In the midst of last-minute negotiations, Styles is attacked by a lone intruder brandishing a futuristic pistol in his study at the Auderly House. Before he is able to kill Styles, the assassin simply vanishes. Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart is immediately notified, and in turn sends the Doctor and Jo to the retreat to investigate. Styles leaves for Peking for an 11th hour meeting in a desperate attempt to bring China to the conference table and prevent a meltdown of negotiations. The Doctor and Jo stay at the retreat in his place, and are soon accosted by three more armed assassins with a vendetta against Styles. Before they can explain further, Jo grant is transported to the 22nd century by one of the assassins' crude time displacement devices. The Doctor manages to follow the assassins into the 22nd century, and learns the horrible truth. The Daleks have conquered Earth following 100 years of human war that has killed 7/8ths of the population and left the planet defenseless. The remaining humans have been enslaved by the Daleks as the planet is strip-mined for resources. The human resistance blames history's speculative account of Reginald Styles assassinating the key delegates at the peace conference, which led to the wars. But is it really as simple as that?
The story focuses on simple elements that come together to make a very interesting scenario. The entire serial is built around a cause-and-effect time paradox which has allowed the Daleks to sneak in and take advantage. As a Dalek story, it's rather passive and straightforward in tone. The Daleks aren't out to destroy time, or the universe, or effect some horrendous plan. They have established themselves as rulers of Earth, and that's about it. The characters play vital roles in the storyline to keep it interesting. Aubrey Woods is a scene-stealer as the Controller, a traitorous human serving the Daleks as their lieutenant who may, or may not be conflicted about the nature of his role.
The problem with 'Day' isn't the story, but the budget. Paul Bernard sat in the director's chair and didn't seem to have a clue what he was doing, at least from the perspective of a Dalek story which requires a certain degree of finesse and knowledge of the creature. Dalek voices are atrocious, oddly timed and completely non-threatening. There's a sense that Bernard never really knew what to do with the privilege of working on a Dalek story. It becomes less about them, and more about the time paradox that allowed them to take over the planet. Special effects are completely underwhelming. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the final scene where a grand total of three Daleks and a handful of Ogrons assault the Auderly House which is being guarded by UNIT. A few squib explosions and sound effects are all that bridges the gap between imagination and reality.
Which is where the Special Edition comes in.
Disc 2 is dedicated almost exclusively to this newly enhanced version of the serial, and for good reason. It's bloody spectacular. Most previous 'Who' DVD entries have focused on the addition of a few new CGI effects here and there to spice up the otherwise drab delivery. Not here. The crew in charge have painstakingly gotten rid of all the bad bits that made 'Day' so hard to watch, and replaced them with glorious new material. The new CGI sequences are good enough on their own. Ray guns now fire bolts and actually explode their organic targets into little giblets, making the battles a bit more violent than what you'd remember. Dalek guns now fire traditional blue laser blasts (though without traditional gun sound), machine gun effects sprinkle onto Dalek casings, blast bolts leave light auras on faces and environments, and time travel sequences have been spruced up digitally. The best part about these new additions is how seamless they are with the original material. The idea was to make it seem plausible that these effects could have been done in the 1970s. I'd say they've succeeded. But that's not all! Dalek voices have been completely redone with none other than Nicholas Briggs (Dalek voice actor for the new Doctor Who series) at the helm, giving his signature of perfection on every piece of Dalek dialogue. This was no small feat, as only the final audio mix exists with no separate recording tracks, forcing sound engineers to painstakingly remove the old Dalek voices and insert the new, something made especially difficult when several voices overlapped each other. The final result? Flawless. Literally flawless. And finally, the crew went way above and beyond the call of duty by actually tracking down the same cameras used to film the 1972 serial in order to shoot entirely new material for integration into the existing film. Each shot was color treated and reverse-graded to match the lesser quality of 1970s television quality. Watching it through from beginning to end, I couldn't once tell what was new, and what was old. The contrast is readily apparent on the aforementioned final scene where the Daleks and Ograns attack UNIT. There are more of them, the battle is more intense, more violent and more spectacular, and there's a sense of weight that just wasn't there before. All in all, one of the best Special Edition treatments I've seen yet on a 'Who' serial.
Naturally, purists will cry foul, but they'd be silly to. This is not a matter of George Lucas trying to fix what isn't broken. This is a clear case of something already broken and needing fixing, and getting layered with love throughout the entire process. Watching the Special Edition of 'Day' was like watching a whole new Doctor Who story that I'd never seen before. The pacing felt more snappy, immersive and the deliveries were much stronger. A large part of this can be attributed to the re-done Dalek voices, which in themselves are an excellent reason to give this DVD a try. It's a magnificent treatment, and every kudo should be heaped upon the team responsible for bringing this gem to the Doctor Who DVD line. Yes, it's that good.
4.0 out of 5 stars It's Just another day,
Junglies (Morrisville, NC United States) - See all my reviews
Nice tight story this without much of the waste that characterised a number of the Pertwee third Doctor Stories.
I like this adventure quite a bit despite the obvious shortcomings. It begins with a mysterious military figure disappearing into the night and scaring the wits out of our fearless diplomat. UNIT gets involved due to the impending demise of the peace conference but the Doctor does not want to know despite his affected noncholant view of politicians.
Soon he and Joe are caught up in an inter-temporal assassination attempt with the diplomat Styles attaining notoriety as the harbringer of a nuclear holocaust where the reality is quite different. The slimy, smooth canniving controller in the future dupes Joe into providing information which he then passes on to his Dalek masters.
There are some digs here too. The slave population of the future are housed in tower blocks which is a very nice touch considering the social problems they were to be held responsible for in the ensuing years. The off the cuff remark made by the Doctor too about the well stocked larders of the political class uis well made as is his use of the same.
The temporal paradox causes a bit of confusion but not half as much as the Dalex ownership of a method of time travel again.
On the whole though there are some redeeming features notably the controller's recantation of his help to the Daleks. It moves along well and keeps the attention. One of the better adventures.

By A Customer
Although somewhat dissapointing in the realization of the Daleks, this is a very intelligent story on the paradox of time travel and changing history. On the positive side, apart from the story, you have Jon Pertwee, Ogrons (my favorite baddies, I don't know why), the Brigadier, and that wonderful 70's sci-fi electronic music (really sets the mood). On the negative side, you have a bit of overacting (the Controller comes to mind), minimal sets, and of course the minimal involvement of the Daleks. As others have noted, this is not the best Dalek story or Pertwee's strongest episode, but it is still enjoyable nonetheless, with some genuinely scary moments to boot.

In terms of positive, emotional stories, it might be impossible to top this. Make-a-Wish Foundation hooked up Caleb Acosta, a 15-year-old from Apopka, Florida, with stage-four brain cancer with Richochet, the surfing dog, and took the two to the waves.
Caleb was diagnosed in the summer of 2013, and is an absolute trooper in dealing with the unfortunate hand he has been dealt. He saw Richochet in ESPN The Magazine, and told Make-a-Wish that his dream was to surf with the aquatic pooch.
To whomever chose the song to pair with this video, thanks a lot. Now I have trails of salty water through my beard. No idea how that happened…
