Al Brown's new city business
Relevant offers
Magazine publisher Bauer Media NZ and a new Al Brown restaurant will become cornerstone tenants of Auckland's new creative hub City Works Depot.
Bauer's New Zealand boss Paul Dykzeul confirmed last week that the company, formerly known as ACP Media, has signed a lease to relocate to the 3ha collection of 1960s council sheds between the city and Sale St that are being renovated and attracting some high-profile tenants. They include ad agency Y&R, celebrity chef Michael Van De Elzen's Foodtruck Garage, Brothers Brewery and digital and design agencies.
Also confirmed as a future tenant is TV chef Al Brown. Online rumours indicated he may open bagel restaurant there but a spokesman refused to discuss the nature of his new venture. Ponsonby bar The Golden Dawn which may need to relocate due to development around its current premises on the corner of Richmond Rd also featured in the rumour mill.
Brown, famous for the TV series Hunger for the Wild, operates the popular Depot restaurant in Federal St, just up the hill from City Works Depot.
City Works Depot was until recently scheduled for total redevelopment into an office and apartment complex called Rhubarb Lane.
When that plan collapsed during the global financial crisis the property was finally bought by people associated with Tournament Parking which had been operating a parking business there. Those same interests are driving the current renovation, which will save the historic sheds, often used for art exhibitions and pop-up outlets.
They did not respond to a request for comment for this article.
Bauer's Dykeul told Sunday Star- Times the company's lease on premises at 100 Beaumont St near Westhaven Marina expires towards the end of the year. Bauer is keen to move to seek space for expansion, he said.
Dykzeul said Bauer is a creative business and was attracted by the office space emerging as part of the redevelopment of the Auckland Council property. "Putting creative people in a creative environment is an important thing to do," he said.
"It's a terrific use of an iconic part of Auckland's architecture."
Dykzeul was not prepared to disclose the lease term, saying Bauer is a private company.
The sheds were designed by Ewen Wainscott and opened in 1968. They received awards from the New Zealand Institute of Architects in 1969 and 1970.
The City Works Depot website and advertising describes the offering as a "stunning and dramatic character space" that offers spaces from 60sqm to 3000sqm for office, showroom, retail or venue use.
The complex has more than 800 car parks nearby and also offers ease of motorway access, access to the Tank Farm, which is also being redeveloped, and also to the Viaduct area and Ponsonby.
Units in Australian developer Doug Rikard-Bell's Rhubarb Lane project had been on the market since May 2008. In March 2010, the project's financial backer, Westpac, gave the marketing extra grunt when it brought in Multiplex Living to oversee sales.
Westpac had been involved in the project since it funded the site's former owner, bankrupted developer Jamie Peters. Westpac forced a mortgagee sale of the property and then gave financial backing to Rikard-Bell.
The bank was also offering attractive terms to buyers who purchased units off the plans. These included mortgages for the commercial units on residential mortgage terms and providing a deposit bond at 2.1 per cent annual interest to buyers who did not want to put down a 10 per cent deposit.
Those incentives also failed to spark the project into life and the property is rumoured to have been sold cheaply to Tournament, crystallising Westpac's losses.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
The Panic Series
by Paul on 04/20/07 at 09:49 AM ET
Comments (0)
Reading the different forums and blogs on the Wings/Flames series, it has been a panic theme after every game.
Just remember what I said after the Wings went up 2-0, it is not a series until a road team wins. Still hasn't happened and it may not.
The home ice may actually come in play for this series.

Are you off to a barn dance? Elle Fanning mixes it up in girly white dress and lace-up boots as she shines at Santa Barbara Film Festival
She's one of Hollywood's fastest rising stars who's becoming just as well known for her style as for her acting.
And Elle Fanning kept her fans happy with another eclectic outfit on Tuesday, as she hit the red carpet at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in a girly white dress and high, lace-up boots.
Proving that she's not one to follow the fashion crowd, the 14-year-old looked comfortable and quirky in the all-white outfit as she attended the Virtuosos Awards.
Mixing it up: Elle Fanning wears contrasting styles as she hits the red carpet on Tuesday at the Santa Barbara Film Festival
The teen star, who was being honoured at the ceremony for her role in Ginger & Rosa, looked ethereal in her demure dress, clinched in at the waist with a thin belt and cut below the knee.
Instead of opting for simple pumps or heels, the actress decided to mix it up with a pair of eccentric white lace-up boots, pulling off the clashing styles.
The all-white red carpet outfit accentuated her pale skin and bright blonde hair, which the starlet wore long and poker straight over her shoulders.
As usual, the Super 8 star wore minimal but interesting make-up, opting for a bright green eye shadow and a touch of natural lipstick.

Green goddess: The starlet adds some colour to her outfit with a splash of bright green eye shadow
Elle was joined at the ceremony with a host of other rising stars, including Eddie Redmayne and Quvenzhane Wallis, who were also honoured at the ceremony.
British actor Eddie looked as dapper as usual in a tailored blue suit and checked shirt, seeming confident as he posed for photos with his hands in his pocket.
And if Elle thought she was going to be the youngest honoree, she was mistaken as nine-year-old Quvenzhane, who is the youngest ever Best Actress nominee, put in an appearance.
Brit style: Actor Eddie Redmayne looks dapper in a tailored blue suit and checked shirt
Rising star: Oscar nominee Quvenzhane Wallis dresses all in pink for the awards, accompanied by a furry friend
Ensuring that all eyes were on her, the youngster wore a bright pink dress and brought a little furry friend with her, in the form of a pink cuddly toy.
US actress Ann Dowd, who was being honoured for her role in Compliance, joined the youngsters on the red carpet, dressed head-to-toe in black.
Luckily for Elle, she wasn't in competition with Quvenzhane as she was at the 2013 Critics' Choice Movie Awards a couple of weeks ago.
'The nice thing about this category is that it's the next generation and we all have a really tight bond with each other. We're young and we can relate to each other,' she said at the event.

August 10, 2015 - I love the bowls and gave 4 rather than 5 stars only because one bowl was chipped at the rim. They were packed so well, I don't see how this could have happened in transit; returning would have been costly, so I guess I'll just eat (pardon the pun) the damage, Perhaps a navy marking pen will help. I particularly envision enjoying ice cream in them.
August 10, 2015 - I love these bowls they are the perfect size. I will be putting them on my holiday table as well with cranberry sauce to keep a Vet or active service person there with us and say we thank you. I only had one problem. My bowls did not come with the lids as in the picture. They did come in the time scheduled though.
August 10, 2015 - Beautiful!
July 28, 2015 - I simply love these bowls. They are just the right size for soup, ice cream or snacks and have a beautiful design. I just wish I had ordered 8 rather than 4. I'll need to place another order when they are back in stock.
June 6, 2015 - These bowls are beautiful. Can use daily and are dishwasher safe!

I would recommend this to anyone wanting a comfortable and quiet stay away.
A great little granny flat in the garden, well equipped and very clean.
The studio was comfortable and warm and the little kitchen had everything we needed to make lunch and breakfast.
The hosts were really kind and welcoming and gave us a helpful tour around the place.
Drove in a little bit later at night and was met by Dan who showed us a cozy little granny flat in the quaint town of Port Fairy.
The host was responsive, gave us a cheerful and extremely friendly welcome upon our arrival, and provided a great little room in a detached building of our own. We only stayed for one night while traveling the Great Ocean Road, but it was a great spot. Thank you!
Cute little self contained unit out the back of the hosts house - Virginia was easy to communicate with and thorough showing us around the clean and well equipped unit. We loved the frequently asked questions sheet - so handy!
Very nice set up and good value for money. Virginia was very welcoming. Good privacy and a nice walk into the main streets and waterfront. Had a nice stay. Thanks Virginia.
Thank you, Virginia and Daniel for welcoming us into your home! Really friendly family.
The room is as stated, self-contained with a kitchenette and bathroom attached. Private access to the room from the back was really convenient, so there was minimal disturbance to the hosts. The food recommendations around the area were good too.
Overall, it was a lovely stay at Port Fairy, all thanks to Virginia and Daniel! :)
Virginia was very welcoming and helpful on arrival and provided plenty of information to get around or where to eat out. The room was spotless, very comfortable and warm and the night's stay was great. Definitely recommended :)
We had a great stay in Port Fairy in Virginia and Daniel's bungalow. The place is clean, warm and comfortable and only a short walk from the centre of town.
Daniel was there to greet me on arrival and showed me through the Granny Flat. I was able to fit my bike in their garage which was much appreciated. The flat is really like a motel room - quite seperate from the main house and you have everything you need. The flat was clean and tidy and the room was dark and quiet. Virginia was there to say goodbye in the morning. I was only there for one night but would highly recommend Virginia and Daniels place.
About the Host, Virginia And Daniel
We hope others enjoy staying in our lovely little village of Port Fairy as much as we enjoy living here.

Super Rugby
Who needs those Flash Harrys from the north? Not the Highlanders it would seem, as Jamie Joseph's unheralded southerners made a dream start to the new Super Rugby season tonight.
Under the roof of Dunedin's indoor stadium, and in front of a rowdy 15,500-strong crowd, the Highlanders ambushed Sir John Kirwan's Blues with a performance full of passion, intensity, commitment and no little razzle-dazzle. Just how the late Gordon Hunter would have wanted it for the trophy named in his honour.
In other words, the Highlanders showed the things that were sadly missing for most of their disappointing 2013 campaign where they won just three matches, despite their stellar cast of recruits from the north.
This year Joseph has just the two All Blacks - both Aaron Smith and co-captain Ben Smith were in sumptuous form tonight - and a squad mostly bereft of so-called star quality.
Who cares? They played as a team, they defended with both intensity and organisation, and they had a lash whenever they could to shade an entertaining and high-quality contest.
"The reasons that's there is because we've worked hard on it, haven't taken things for granted and the leaders in our team have done a great job making sure the new guys understand what it is to play for the Highlanders, what type of people are down here and what type of rugby they will follow," a rapt Jamie Joseph said afterwards.
The Highlanders ran in four tries to three, and held off a late, surging comeback from the Blues, to secure not just a morale-boosting first-up victory, but a bonus point one as well.
As well as the two Smiths, former All Black Jarrad Hoeata had a storming display up front, Gareth Evans and Nasi Manu acquitted themselves very well in the loose and Patrick Osborne and Malakai Fekitoa showed some much-needed X-factor in the home backline.
"I was really proud of those two guys," Joseph said of his All Black duo. "Everyone was stepping up for the first game, and our two All Blacks led by their performance. When that happens things tend to fall into place like they did for the first 40."
The Blues did well to battle back into the match after trailing 24-0 at the half, and won the second spell 21-5 when their backs finally found some space. They'll take a lot from a storming second 40 but were quite atrocious in the first half when errors peppered their game.
"The first half cost us dearly," Kirwan said. "We turned over too much ball, played too much in our half, and when you do that and they score a couple of tries and get on top of you, it's just not the way we wanted to start. We came back in the second hald and I thought we deserved a point."
The Highlanders' start was sensational as they burst out of the blocks with two quick tries, and a 17-0 lead in just a shade over a quarter of an hour.
All Black Aaron Smith had the first off a chargedown of a poor Chris Noakes attempted clearance and centre Fekitoa,a former Blue, the second with a brilliant, jinking run from 50 metres out via Liam Coltman's turnover.
It was just the start this young Highlanders outfit needed and it sparked the scarfie-dedicated Zoo stand into full party mode. The Blues had no answers early as they were inaccurate in almost all facets and bereft of ways to break the blue defensive wall.
The Blues mistakes kept coming. From one, an overthrown lineout, classy All Black Ben Smith punished the visitors right on halftime with a back-breaking try off a peach of an Aaron Smith flat pass, for a 24-0 lead.
Francis Saili got the Blues on the board in the opening minute of the second half with another piece of individual brilliance involving a run, kick and fabulous aerial regather, but Osborne's bonus point reply in the left corner nine minutes later restored the home side's advantage to 29-7.
Prop Angus Ta'avao powered over to get the Blues within 15 just inside the final quarter, and when replacement lock Patrick Tuipulotu thundered across soon after to finish a move created by Peter Saili, the Blues had a sniff at 29-21, with 10 minutes remaining.
But the visitors could not add to their tally late and when Noakes fluffed a handy penalty on time, even the bonus point eluded Kirwan's visitors.
Brad Thorn was the only Highlanders casualty with a popped rib early on, while Blues skipper Luke Braid suffered a high ankle sprain. Benji Marshall played the last quarter and showed some nice touches to please his coach. "We chucked him out there to do exactly what he did - he started sparking us up, and he's going to be very good coming from the back."
Highlanders 29 (Aaron Smith, Malakai Fekitoa, Ben Smith, Patrick Osborne tries; Lima Sopoaga pen, 3 cons) Blues 21 (Francis Saili, Angus Ta'avao, Patrick Tuipulotu tries; Chris Noakes 3 cons). HT: 24-0

"My Nigeria is my earth, my material, my jokes"
13 Nov 2011 09:50 GMT | Sport, Football, Morocco, Tunisia
Defender Harrison Afful scored the winning goal as Tunisian side Esperance held on to beat 10-man Wydad Casablanca 1-0 on Saturday to win the African Champions League for the second time.
Afful scored in the 21st minute of the final in Tunisia, cutting inside before shooting powerfully past Wydad goalkeeper Yassine Bouno - who replaced veteran first-choice goalie Nadir Lamyaghri after he got injured at training on Tuesday.
Esperance last won the tournament in 1994, while the Moroccan team's previous win was in '92.
The two North Africa teams drew the first leg 0-0 in Casablanca last week.
Costly card
Wydad's chances were dealt a blow when Mourad Lemsen was sent off moments before the interval for a crude challenge on striker Yannick N'Djeng.
Esperance were thrashed 6-1 on aggregate by four-time champion TP Mazembe of DR Congo in last year's final.
Esperance also lost the final in 1999 on penalties to Raja Casablanca of Morocco and the following year to Ghanaian team Hearts of Oak.
But this time the 50,000 fans at Stade 7 November in Rades had cause to celebrate.
After his goal, Afful went on another surging run down the right in the 28th and set up Oussama Darragi inside the penalty area but his shot was well wide.
Wydad missed a great chance to equalise in the 32nd when striker Fabrice Ondama was clean through but saw his shot kicked away by Esperance goalie Moez Ben Cherifa.
N'Djeng and Afful were causing problems for Wydad's defence, but Cherifa was largely untroubled for the rest of the first half.
The 20-year-old Cherifa looked nervous as Wydad started the second half strongly, and he was relieved to see his defence hack the ball clear after he'd spilled a cross, with Ondama lurking.
Esperance finally won a corner midway through the second half, but defender Yaya Banana failed to get enough power on his header.
Bouno then made a fine save with his feet to deny N'Djeng in the 77th, but Esperance spent the last 10 minutes holding on.

Thousands defy Norway mass-killer Breivik with song
April 26, 2012 - 21:30 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Facing terror with music, tens of thousands have gathered across Norway to sing a children's song that mass killer Anders Breivik has claimed is being used to brainwash young Norwegians.
The event was organised as an act of defiance against the right-wing fanatic as survivors gave tearful testimony in his trial for the July 22 bombing and shooting massacre that killed 77 people.
In the drizzling rain, 40,000 people converged at a central square in Oslo to sing the 1970's song Children of the Rainbow - a Norwegian version of American folk music singer Pete Seeger's Rainbow Race, Belfast Telegraph reported.

"I haven't been live on television since the end of August," she reminded her colleagues Monday. "My heart is beating so fast right now. But that means I'm alive. I'm alive!"
Roberts hasn't exactly been absent from "GMA." Reports on her condition have been faithfully showcased on the show, maybe to excess in the minds of some observers.
Pressed for details by her co-anchor, George Stephanopoulos, Roberts likened her return to an athlete getting back on the field after an injury.
"They don't go right back into the starting lineup. They go to practice, they throw the ball, and see how their body reacts," she explained.
One preliminary step: "I got up at 4 a.m. this morning," she said proudly. "I've got to get back on `GMA' time."
Next week, she will go through a dry run: arriving at the studio and getting into makeup as if she were about to do the show, but stopping short of actually going on camera. It will be a test to see how her body reacts to the stress of being back in the studio environment, she said, adding that she will even need to reaccustom her skin to the studio lights.
After the dry run, Roberts and her doctors will evaluate her status to further pinpoint a return date.
"We're going to take it step by step," she said.

No charge to play pre-release FIFA Online on PC
Saturday 29 May 2010
FIFA Online, a free soccer game that can be played via web browsers on average computers, has flung wide its doors to the world as part of an unlimited-numbers testing phase.
The game is developed by EA Sports which is also responsible for FIFA 10 and FIFA 2010 World Cup on consoles.
Like Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online, EA's other big name online sports game, FIFA Online will be free to play. PGA Tour Online offers extra courses, equipment and tournaments for a fee, and FIFA Online is expected to do the same.
The game is in fact the sequel to an Asian version, currently known as FIFA Online 2, which has been available in one form or another since 2006.
That precursor allows players to participate in World Tours and a FIFA World Cup mode, and they can top up in-game credits using real world cash should they feel the need arise.
Sign-ups for FIFA Online are now being accepted at fifa-online.easports.com.

MMA Betting
Get real with MMA betting on Sports Interaction! MMA, mixed martial arts, is the combat sport of the 21st Century, combining fighting techniques from several disciplines - boxing, judo, karate, kickboxing and more - to create the ultimate warrior experience! The UFC is the biggest promoter of the sport and hosts bouts all over the world. Bet MMA events live and antepost, on desktop or on mobile with Sports Interaction!
MMA Betting Rules
General betting rules apply to Mixed Martial Arts betting. In addition the following rules are specific to betting on boxing and MMA.
- In the event that a Boxing / MMA match is postponed, bets have 'action' as long as the match is rescheduled to take place within 30 days of the original fight date.
- All bets on Boxing / MMA have 'action' once the bell is sounded signifying the start of the opening round.
- Where a fighter fails to answer the bell for the next round, his opponent will be deemed to have won the contest in the previous round. If for any reason a decision is awarded before the full number of rounds is completed, bets will be settled on the round in which the fight was stopped.
- Bets that nominate 'to win on points' will only be deemed winners if the full number of rounds is completed.
- In the event of a draw in a Boxing / MMA match, in match betting where the draw was available as one of the options to bet on, bets on the draw are paid as wins while bets on either fighter lose, but if a draw was not available to bet on, then bets on either fighter are refunded.
- For betting purposes where K.O. (knockout) is posted on the board as one of the options available to wager on in boxing, K.O., T.K.O. (technical knockout) and disqualification are regarded as K.O.
MMA Betting Guide
The final bell never rings for betting on Sports Interaction, with action all year round. The most popular form of Boxing / MMA betting is moneyline pricing, giving bettors three options to choose from when placing a bet. Look at this example:
|Manny Pacquiao
|Joshua Clottey
In the example above, Manny Pacquiao is the favorite, as indicated by the minus sign before his price in the first line. In this fight Pacquiao is a -909 favorite, meaning the bettor wins $100 for every $909 wagered if Pacquaio wins.
In the second line Joshua Clottey is the underdog, as indicated by the plus sign before his price. In this fight Clottey is a +450 underdog, meaning bettors win $450 for every $100 wagered if Clottey wins.
The third line is the option of a draw. This is priced at +3300, meaning bettors win $3,300 for every $100 if the fight ends in a draw.
Many fights offer betting options beyond the moneyline option and these can be found by clicking on the More Betting option on selected fights.

Through your iPhone, you can set your daily active goal and when you turn on your band it moves from red to green (when you reach your goal) using its motion sensors that track your progress. It also tells time, the number of calories you burned, how many steps you've taken that day and has a usb attached so you can recharge it with your computer. This technology is incredible and healthy. Kaitlyn W.

Once Again, Books Are Burning in Europe
Many more Hungarians are looking to 'reclaim' Hungary's Nazi past; not only the extremists who publicly burn the works of Jewish writers to cheering crowds.
On November 9, the night sky was lit up by a pyre of burning books, as a cheering crowd exulted in the destruction of works of Jewish and other 'transgressive' authors. But this scene isn't from 1938: It's exactly 75 years later and we are in Hungary, not Nazi Germany.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
Graphics, script, score
Might not be for some, fairly easy gaming experience
Where you stand on Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, will depend on how much things like atmosphere, characterisation, storyline and style matter in the games you play. Look at it one way, and it is merely a competent action/adventure game with stunning graphics, linear gameplay and a handful of neat twists. Look at it another, and it's one of the most dazzling and immersive gaming experiences of the year. If you're inclined to obsess over innovative game mechanics and deep combat systems instead of getting caught up in a well-told tale, then this might not be the game for you, but if you're wired the other way around, then this is the sort of game you've been yearning for.
Inspired by Journey to the West, the same Chinese classic that bought us the much-loved 80s BBC2 teatime favourite, Monkey, Enslaved follows a young female hacker, Trip, and her unwilling bodyguard, Monkey, as they journey across an American landscape in some undefined, post-apocalyptic future. Having made an escape from slavers, Trip plans to return to her father in an isolated enclave, but needs our agile warrior hero to get her there in one piece. To ensure cooperation, she has placed a slaver's headband on his nut. If our grumpy hero doesn't play ball, he suffers. If she dies, he dies too.
It's an interesting setup, and one the game runs with through a combination of platforming, cover-based shooting and close combat that takes as much from the Uncharted series as it does from a Devil May Cry or God of War. When you're not leaping around the scenery, looking for a way to get Trip through the next barrier or up to the next level, you're battling vicious-looking mechs with an energy staff that doubles as a handy plasma cannon. The game also plays with a few ideas from Sony's much-loved Ico, with Monkey having to throw Trip up onto ledges or over gaps, then leap over himself to drag her up before she falls. These moments are fewer and farer between than you might wish, but at least the game never feels like one giant, irritating escort mission. In fact, with a last-ditch EMP pulse weapon, a decoy projector and a nice line in platforming herself, Trip actually works as a useful companion.
Enslaved's biggest weakness is that, while all the elements work perfectly well, neither the platforming nor the combat is what you might call state of the art. As far as the first goes, your way up or across each section is so clearly signified by shining handholds, and the controls are so determined to stop you going wrong, that all you can do is follow the trail from one to the next. In a few cases there's timing involved, but a lot of the time this is the most undemanding platformer since Ubisoft's controversial 2008 Prince of Persia reboot. The fighting is a bit more interesting, with a handful of blocks and combos, plus some moves you'll need to break mech shields - not to mention a basic, RPG style upgrade system - but it's still not long before you start relying on the same attacks.
Where it's most interesting is in the strategy department. Before most fights you'll get a flyby of the situation outlining mechs with weak points or bearing weapons which you might be able to turn against their robot chums. Target these first, and you'll quickly gain an edge on your metallic foes. The game also scores highly for its intriguing, inventive boss battles, even if most of these go on a good 5 minutes longer than might be strictly necessary.
Still, it must be said that the gameplay could be a little more inspired, and that it doesn't do enough with the most interesting idea: making Trip and Monkey work together. Normally, we'd chastise the game in question at this point and send it home with a condescending verdict. Enslaved, however, deserves better.
For a start, it's a beautiful looking game. Think post-apocalyptic and you usually think of something in the mould of Fallout 3 or Borderlands, but Enslaved gives us a much more attractive vision, where the ruins of New York are now covered in lush vegetation, and even wastelands peppered with rusting mechs have brightly coloured wetlands and glowing sunset skies. It's the kind of sci-fi dystopia that you might actually want to visit. Both the human protagonists and mechanical enemies are richly detailed and brilliantly animated, and while Enslaved can't match Uncharted's lifelike facial animation, the close-ups still look pretty believable.
But, more importantly, it's an exceptionally cinematic game - and we actually mean that in a good way. The script, by The Beach/28 Days Later writer Alex Garland should be a model for other game writers to follow, giving you enough background detail and nuance to make the world and the characters come to life, but not whacking you over the head with endless exposition or over-wrought emotion. The motion-captured performances, directed by Andy Serkis (who also plays Monkey) bring a real sense of humanity to the games' heroes, and make the game's deeper moments work.
Finally, Nitin Sawhney's score - a nice mix of Eastern and Western themes and instrumentation - is pitch-perfect, building up the action when you need it, and creating an atmosphere during the quieter moments of exploration. Most importantly, this is never a game that forgets it's not a movie. Much of the narrative happens while you're playing, and the short cutscenes rarely outstay their welcome. Whatever you're doing, there's always some new funny line or muttered aside to remind you that you're not just playing another generic action game, but taking part in a grand adventure.
In the end, it's not the shortcomings of the gameplay that you'll remember from Enslaved, but its rich and enthralling narrative, and the wonder of its post-apocalyptic world. It's not as flawless or advanced an interactive blockbuster as Uncharted 2, but it's not all that far off, and it's one of those games where, the more you play, the deeper those narrative hooks sink in. Enslaved might not be the best game you play this year, but don't be surprised if it becomes one of your favourites.

TokenWorks, Inc. Unveils IDWedgeBT(TM), World's First Smart Bluetooth ID Card Scanner
BRONXVILLE, N.Y., Dec. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- TokenWorks® Inc. introduces IDWedgeBT(TM), the first Bluetooth ID Card Scanner that automatically completes digital forms. Embedded software intelligently parses data from magnetic, 1D and 2D barcodes on driver's licenses, financial payment cards, student IDs, membership cards, military IDs, loyalty cards and sends it via Bluetooth to computers running Apple, Android and Windows operating systems. It is twenty times faster than manual data entry, eliminates keypunch errors, requires no software development, and works with any computer or mobile device that pairs with a Bluetooth keyboard.
) (Photo:
) Unlike traditional card scanners that send raw card data, IDWedgeBT's built in software recognizes different cards types, extracts relevant field data and executes a user defined script to enter card data directly into an electronic form. Once IDWedgeBT is configured for a specific form and paired via Bluetooth, simply scan/swipe a card and watch as IDWedgeBT automatically completes the form's contact and/or payment section(s).
Future Proof - The IDWedgeBT works with today's iPhone 5, iPad Mini and iPod 5. It will work with next year's iPhone 6, iPad 5 and iPod 6 because it doesn't depend on specific I/O connectors or need to fit into a gimmicky piggyback case. It works with Windows Slate, Android Nexus Tablets, Android phones, Samsung Galaxy II and III phones, MacBook Pro laptops and Linux devices, among others. The IDWedgeBT will type data into any form that supports a Bluetooth HID keyboard.
For developers, IDWedgeBT includes card-parsing software so there is no need to develop or license 3rd party parsing code. It has two Bluetooth interfaces, Human Interface Device (HID) and Serial Port Profile (SSP). The HID interface works with operating systems that support Bluetooth keyboards (Android, Apple, Linux, Windows). The SPP interface works with Android, Linux and Windows devices, and is typically used when developing custom software.
Charles Cagliostro, President of TokenWorks Inc., states, "IDWedgeBT builds on the success of our IDWedge® product and extends card reading to new platforms like smart phones, tablets and Apple / Linux Operating systems. We are finding strong interests in mobile applications which capture driver's license and credit card data, such as rental contracts, hotel registrations, and doctor's office check in."

About TokenWorks® Founded in 1998, TokenWorks provides magnetic stripe card, smart card and other token-based solutions to system integrators and end users.

An interview with John Erick Dowdle and Drew Dowdle, directors of "No Escape."
"A few more years, and men won't exist," mourns one of the unemployed workers in "The Full Monty." Sheffield was once a thriving British manufacturing town, known for its steel, but now its mills are closed and the men hang about all day in the gloomy job center, where there are no jobs to be found. Their remaining functions in life seem limited to drinking as much as possible, getting into mischief, and avoiding child support payments they can't afford.
From this grim working-class prospect, "The Full Monty" creates a lovable comedy, as the men decide to go where the work is. The Chippendale Dancers have recently entertained a full house at a local club, including most of the wives, mothers, daughters, sisters and girlfriends of the unemployed workers. If the Chippendales can make hundreds or thousands of pounds by stripping down to their Speedos, why can't some local blokes make a few quid by going all the way--"the full monty"? They're led by Gaz, a determined, inventive man played by Robert Carlyle (he was the alarming Begbie in "Trainspotting"). For dance lessons, they turn in desperation to their former foreman, Gerald (Tom Wilkinson). He's always lorded it over them, but is now reduced to haunting the jobs center and trying to keep it a secret from his wife that he's out of work: He's too proud to tell her. One of the movie's best scenes is when he lets down his guard and confesses his financial desperation.
Can he teach them to dance? Sort of, and some of the funniest scenes come during auditions and rehearsals. Their troupe, as it forms, includes Guy (Hugo Speer), who can't dance, but will be the star when the Speedos come off; Lomper (Steve Huison), who is young and suicidal, and Horse (Paul Barber), a middle-aged man with a bad hip, who explains, "me break-dancing days is probably over, but there's always the funky chicken." The director, Peter Cattaneo, takes material that could would be at home in a sex comedy, and gives it gravity because of the desperation of the characters; we glimpse the home life of these men, who have literally been put on the shelf, and we see the wound to their pride. "The Full Monty" belongs in the recent tradition of bittersweet films from Britain that depict working- class life, movies like "The Snapper" and "The Van," based on Roddy Doyle books; "Raining Stones," about an unemployed man desperate to buy his daughter's communion dress, and the recent "Brassed Off," which was also about an industry shutting down and leaving its community stranded.
Robert Carlyle might seem like a strange choice to play Gaz, if you remember him only from "Trainspotting," but one of his first roles was in Ken Loach's "Riff-Raff," which took place mostly on a construction site where the itinerant workers lived off the land. He has a daring here, as if he's walking on a wire and won't fall if he doesn't look down. He doesn't know himself if his plan has been inspired by courage, or bravado.
"The Full Monty" is about more than inventiveness in the face of unemployment. It's about ordinary blokes insisting that their women regard them as men--job or no job. If they're reduced to stripping to pay the bills, well, a lot of women know all about that. This is the undertone, and yet the movie develops a broad, healthy band of humor. It's bawdy, but also gentle and good-hearted, and I felt affection for the characters.
The film's last shot is not hard to guess, although it's less explicit than some audiences will expect. It was applauded at the screening I attended, but I wish there had been another scene afterward. It's not what you do, it's how you feel about it, and I wanted to see a payoff (triumph, maybe, or more likely relief) on the faces of the men.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...
