Sanitized Wonka underestimates child's intellect

I get it. This is children's theater, and for the 3-and-up group at that. However, the Emerald City adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory seems derived from much more recent sources such as 'Saturday Night Live' and 'The Jersey Shore'. The timeless story from Roald Dahl has held the imaginations of a few generations. It's about adventure and getting past the bad times with the help of family values. Dahl's fantasy has a grim undertone that has now been given the cleaned up Grimm treatment.
Some blame Walt Disney, but at least his Big Bad Wolf had dripping fangs. This "Charlie" felt like it was put together without much creativity. Let's start with the characterizations.
Willy Wonka is portrayed as a Rip Taylor rip-off. (Google him) This Wonka didn't throw confetti but his manic mugging and preening doesn't get the overwhelmingly under-five crowd revved up at all. (Perhaps he should have run through the audience like Taylor, throwing confetti or copped the punk wig style.) The character of Willy Wonka is more mysterious and even sinister when played by either Gene Wilder or Johnny Depp. Some may say 'don't frighten the children' – but we all survived the green-faced evil queen in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves".
The character of Augustus Gloop becomes a derivative of the SNL Schwarzennegger spoof called 'Hans and Franz'. The tots didn't get it and the parents were too busy trying to get them to watch this drivel to connect with the joke either. Veruca Salt is a cell phone-toting brat with a dog in her purse. Calling Paris Hilton! The Character of Mike Teavee is portrayed as an insolent youth obsessed with video games. It was more ripped from the headlines of spree crimes than an updated portrayal. Violet B. is a weird incarnation of the insufferable 'Snooki' zeitgeist from reality television.
As a parent and an aunt I was disappointed in the adaptation. This has either the aroma of someone who says, "I don't watch television" or it's just lazy writing. I include in the lazy category the sets and the Oompa Loompas. They were portrayed by finger puppets on a stick and then hinge jawed Muppet look-alikes (fyi: the hinge-jawed things were the most inspired part of this show.)
I have seen better at Emerald City with the productions of Pinkalicious (our review ★★★½) and Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus! (review ★★½). These shows used the well-known tagline 'Discover a World of Pure Imagination', but the creative team didn't really put much of that slogan into this show.
I suspect that children are smarter and more imaginative than this. Generations have survived fairy tales from Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson without lingering damage. This antiseptic approach to a similarly dark fantasy is doing a disservice to the tot set. I graduated from the illustration heavy tot books when my mom took me to see "Peter Pan" some 47 years ago. An imaginative production at a children's theater made me want to read more or have it read to me and, yes, it tweaked my imagination.
|Rating: ★★
Charlie and The Chocolate Factory runs about one hour without intermission. The show run is through August 15th of 2011. Go to www.emeraldcitytheatre.com for times and dates. With the long run, EC might make some improvements (or at least build some more Oompa Loompas). In the meantime, I suggest reading the Roald Dahl book (even abridged and illustration heavy!) to your children first and then ask what they have to say.
REVIEW: Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! (Emerald City)
Having fun while learning the importance of responsibility
|Emerald City Theatre presents
|Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!
|From the books by Mo Willems
Adapted by Ernie Nolan
Directed by Jacqueline Stone
at Apollo Theatre, 2540 N. Lincoln (map)
thru April 10 | tickets: $13-$16 | more info
To be clear, I am way past the age of three and above which is the recommended age for Emerald City Theatre's Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus!. However, there are always lessons to be learned about sharing, responsibility, and respect no matter one's age. Ernie Nolan adapts this production from the popular 'Pigeon' books by Mo Willems. They include: "The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog", "Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late", "Pigeon Wants a Puppy", as well as "Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus!"
It is a colorful and stimulating hour or so of entertainment for children. The set is a beautiful rendering of a city park that looks just like a children's book. The music consists of fun lyrics set to familiar tunes like the "Can-Can" and Bizet's Carmen.
Bret Beaudry plays the role of Bus Driver. His character is the moral consciousness and adult figure in the play. Beaudry lights up in this role. He is adept at playing for laughs and not condescending to the kids. Beaudry has a wonderful energy, especially in the game show segment when he dons a sparkly jacket and obnoxious bow tie.
Bus Driver is a well-drawn caricature and plays well off of the character of Duckling, played by Daiva Bhandari. Duckling is anthropomorphized as a human/animal hybrid but quite believable. Ms. Bhandari is delightful in a hyper-real yellow bob and tutu. Her character represents the good kid and great example.
It's fun and educational to see Duckling win the game show by being prepared and responsible. The lesson was given without the hammer fist of good kid vs. bad kid.
James Anthony Zoccoli plays the role of Pigeon, and his character is the classic kid with ADHD. Pigeon is all over the place, wanting his way and pouting about never getting his way (insert wah-wah music here). Zoccoli is costumed in everyday baggy khakis, hoodie, and a baseball cap. I'm not sure why Pigeon wasn't more outrageously attired or given more colorful accessories. Might it be that the costumer was making a statement about how common pigeons are in an urban setting-therefore the hip-hop attire? It felt like Pigeon didn't have some class privileges and was excluded. Whatever the reason, I found Pigeon more difficult to relate to from my inner child's vision. Mr. Zoccoli is funny and good at relating the need for better behavior to kids but didn't embody the same childlike zany energy coming from him. It was as if an adult had been dropped into the scene that had carte blanche to act like a kid.
Jacqueline Stone is the director for Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus!. She does a good job of matching the pace with a child's attention span. The different vignettes are reminiscent of a day in Pee-Wee Herman's Playhouse: the scene of the giant puppy is a funny lesson in being careful what you ask for, as surely you will get it; the hot dog story was a great lesson in sharing. A general motif is created whereby the pigeon is basically manipulated or tricked into doing the right thing. I would have liked to see Pigeon happy about a lesson learned versus being miffed.
In paying attention to the kid's reactions in the audience, it's obvious that kids are very observant; it's not easy to put something over on them. Kids will call you out on obvious stuff like it's Duckling under the giant puppy head. It's odd – kids will suspend reality for a human duck hybrid, but then spot the barely-visible bright yellow costume in a dual role as puppy.
Keep in mind that some children will be afraid having story books come to life. One little girl behind me was freaked out for most of the first half hour. She was crying to get out of there and I understood. I was the kid who had nightmares about Garfield Goose taking me away in a shopping cart. You never really know what is in a child's mind.
Emerald City always has fun activities and props for the kids. Duckling was on hand before the show to put ketchup, mustard, relish, and onions (sticker dots) on paper hot dogs. The characters are available for pictures and autographs after the show as well. I recommend this show for kids 3 and up who have read the "Pigeon" series. It's a fun and smart way to introduce theater to very young children. (It was also a great way to resolve my Garfield Goose issues!)
|Rating: ★★½
Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus! runs through April 10th, 2011 at the Apollo Theater located at 2540 N. Lincoln Avenue in Chicago.

|Evaluation of liver parenchymal pressure and portal endothelium damage during radio frequency ablation in an in vivo porcine model.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16343075 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND/AIMS: We previously developed a multi-step, incremental expansion method (multi-step method) for radio frequency ablation (RFA) in vitro, which prevented increases in pressure and reduced the ablation time as compared with other methods. In this study, we evaluated liver parenchymal pressure and portal endothelium damage during RFA with different devices and protocols in an in vivo porcine model. METHOD: Nine healthy female pigs were anaesthetized. RFA was performed with two different devices and protocols; one involved the use of a LeVeen needle with a single-step full expansion method or a multi-step method, and the other used a cool-tip needle with 40 or 60 W power. We measured the pressure in the liver parenchyma and the gallbladder during RFA. We also evaluated portal endothelium damage by NADH staining. RESULTS: The multi-step method with the LeVeen electrode resulted in the lowest parenchymal and intra-gallbladder pressures (multi-step method<single-step method <cool-tip 40 W <cool-tip 60 W). In contrast, the ablation time was shortest with the cool-tip needle at 60 W (cool-tip 60 W <cool-tip 40 W=multi-step method <single-step method). NADH staining revealed severe endothelium damage after ablation with the cool-tip needle, but only slight damage with the LeVeen needle. CONCLUSION: Ablation with the LeVeen needle, especially when used with a multi-step protocol, produced less of an increase in liver parenchymal and intra-gallbladder pressures and less damage to portal endothelial cells than did the cool-tip electrode.

Video Projection at the Chartres CathedralThe famous Gothic façade of Chartres Cathedral was bathed in video projection for the first time ever this year as part of the ongoing Chartres en Lumières event 12/06/2007 3:00 AM Eastern
Video Projection at the Chartres Cathedral
Dec 6, 2007 8:00 AM
Click here for more houses of worship news from The Briefing Room
The famous Gothic façade of Chartres Cathedral was bathed in video projection for the first time ever this year as part of the ongoing Chartres en Lumières event, a six-month annual Festival of Light running from April to September that was launched in 2003. The Cathedral illuminations have always been the main focal point for those enjoying the Chartres en Lumières experience.
Light architect and creative director of Chartres en Lumières, Xavier de Richemont, worked closely with a team from large projection specialists ETC's Paris office to realize the new work, which involves filling the massive 650-square-meter Cathedral front with stunning images.
De Richemont is now responsible for about 20 multimedia and light works in and around Chartres, all commissioned by the City Council. Fifteen of these involve PIGI projection supplied by ETC, and he has also worked with ETC's Paris office on several other projects, all overseen by Guy Garcia, director of permanent installations.
Each year, new lighting installations are added to the existing ones in Chartres for the summer months, and the event has become a popular tourist attraction. This year, the Mayor of Chartres decided that the Cathedralone of the original lighting installationsshould be completely revamped, giving de Richemont the opportunity to revisit the task using the latest technology. It represents his largest piece of video art to date.
ETC supplied the three Christie Digital 25K video projectors to cover the impressive front face of the Cathedralmeasuring 120 meters high to the tip of the spires and 50 meters widewhich was previously lit with four PIGI machines.
The advantages of using video are many. It's a highly flexible medium that greatly multiplies the creative possibilities in terms of color, movement, and transitions. The optical corrections are much easier to achieve, and it offers stronger color density without the need to change films.
ETC's versatile OnlyView system is used for control, synced to a multitrack providing a 12-minute montage of music by Francis Poulenc, especially created by de Richemont. The show runs on a loop from dusk to midnight for each night of the festival.
To leave clear sight lines in front of the cathedral, the projectors are positioned off to one side. The projectors are housed approximately 80 meters from the cathedral, at a horizontal angle of 30 degrees, with a vertical offset ranging from 0 degrees to 45 degrees.
OnlyView is used for all the horizontal and vertical keystoning and perspective correction, for the lineup, and for edge-blending the three images together, with each projector handling a lateral third of the total image.
Using video has also meant that de Richemont has been able to be even more detailed and complex in his image designs. He spent approximately six months compiling and creating the content. The show unfolds along two visual threadsa contemporary one using the stained glass of the windows as inspiration, drawing patterns on the cathedral in broken shards, which are then filled with changing colors. These pieces then start 'flying' off the church to reveal the original Romanesque Cathedral building as it could have once been. The three main signs on the cathedralthe sun, the moon, and Christare all highlighted with Synchrolites at the start of the show.
De Richemont says of ETC Paris, "They are always professional, and the technicians really listen to what you need. Since working with ETC, I have learned a lot about the equipment and its possibilities, and we have a great artistic understandingit's really vital that it goes beyond just a technical relationship."
Amongst the numerous other sites illuminated with projection by ETC for the 2007 Chartres en Lumières were the Place Evora, Collègiale St Andrè, Eglise St Pierre, and the town's new Mediathèque.
ETC Paris also has upcoming projection projects in Scotland and Mexico with De Richemont this autumn.

JOIN the new NYS Garden Educator Network E-List!
Cornell Garden-Based Learning has just launched a new E-List for New York State garden educators, teachers who work with school gardens, volunteers, and anybody who engages in (or wants to) gardening programs with youth or adults.
We heard from garden educators statewide that there is a desire for a way to connect with folks doing similar work. While our Take Root! program has enabled more personal networking, online relationships are building through our online courses and our ever-increasing number of webinars. Our goal for this E-List is to help garden educators share successes, challenges, and resources, to publicize garden-related events occurring in NYS or that would be interesting to NYS garden educators. We hope the list can become a forum for asking questions and having worthwhile discussions to help strengthen all of the good work we do.
We are aware there are several garden-related listserves already in NYS and nationwide. Our intention is that this list is a complement to those in that it is not for a specific region/county of the state and that it is for folks involved in garden education, not just how to garden specifics.
JOIN the E-LIST – Here's How:
1. Send an email message to email@example.com
2. In the Subject of your message, type the single word: join. Leave the body of the message blank.
* Once a member, to write to the entire list: Send a message to firstname.lastname@example.com
Please note these general guidelines when writing to the list:
– Customize your Subject Line when posting new messages. Mention location if applicable.
– Do NOT post attachments. Include a link to the info. when possible rather than pasting in the email body.
– The list is set to default your reply only to the sender, not the entire list. You can choose to reply to both as appropriate.
We look forward to collaborating with you! Please share this announcement widely…

The measure would fund the Olmsted dam and lock project on the Ohio River and benefit Kentucky, Tennessee and Illinois, Buzzfeed writes.
The language was in the fine print of the Senate's deal to open the government through Jan. 15 and extend the nation's credit line until the middle of February.

Yeah! Hide Sms/Text, Calls, Photos, Videos, Files, Audio. Block Calls. There's more. It's DISGUISED (and password protected too).*** FAQ FOR HIDING TEXT, CALLS & BLOCKING CALLS ***Que: How do I open the app? What do you mean by disguised?Ans: The app is installed as bManager. It's disguised as Bluetooth Manager. If anyone opens the app, he can see only bluetooth icon with settings. You can start/stop bluetooth from here. To get into the real app, tap 3 times on the big bManager name. You'll be asked for password. If it's first time use, you'll get to create your password and henceforth you need to use this password.Q: How do I hide my text or call logs?A: Open the app. Get into real app by tapping 3 times on bManager name. Now click on "Contact Setting", there you can see two tabs. One for enabling/disabling the service. Other for applying settings to particular contact.Click on Start Hiding button. And apply proper settings to the desired contacts.Q: I want to apply different hiding parameters for different contacts. Can I do that?A: Yes. Open app. Go to "Contact Setting". Go to Setting tab. Click on the particular contact. You'll see three option - Hide Sms, Hide Calls, Block calls. You can select any or all. You can also see what settings you have applied to which contact in this tab only.Q: How do I check hidden messages/call logs.A: There are two buttons 'SMS Logs' & 'Call Logs' for that. Q: Can I send text from this app?A: Yes. If the message logs is empty, use default messaging app to send a text. It'll be caught by our app, now you can use the same thread to start messaging to that contact.Q: Can I create secret hidden contact with this app?A: Yes. "Contact Setting" -> Click menu button -> Create New Contact. This contact is not interfered with any other app making it truly hidden. The contacts created in such manner are displayed in GREEN color. However contacts fetched from default contacts app are in YELLOW color.Q: Any important note for hiding sms/calls or blocking calls?A: The contact you are hiding should be in the same format as you see on your caller ID when that person calls you. If it's not, then go to default contacts app, edit the contact, and then apply settings to that contact in our app.Q: Can I take backup of my hidden texts?A: Yes. Go to SMS Logs. Click menu button. Click backup. Backup is stored on bManager folder. Note - this "Contact Setting" is applicable for hiding sms,calls, blocking calls only. For hiding all sort of files, read further.*** FAQ FOR HIDING PHOTOS, VIDEOS, AUDIO, FILES ***Q: How do I hide files/videos/photos?A: Two ways -1. Go to default gallery. Select the images or videos or both that you want to hide, click share, select bManager.2. Use default file manager app, click share, then bManager. Select the desired files.

Peripheral artery disease is a general term for damage, defects or blockage in the peripheral arteries that carry blood and supply oxygen to the hands and feet.
Peripheral artery disease of the legs is the most common type of the condition, which also affects other parts of the body. For example:
Atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries that results from a buildup of fat and cholesterol, is one of the main causes of peripheral artery disease. The buildup—known as plaque—clogs arteries. Peripheral artery disease can also develop from clots that form in the veins when the walls become weak and blood flow slows.
The most common symptom of peripheral artery disease is leg pain, particularly when walking or exercising. Other symptoms include numbness and tingling in the lower legs and feet, coldness in the lower legs and feet, and leg sores that do not heal.
Your doctor will examine your blood pressure and heart in an effort to diagnose peripheral artery disease. You may also have to undergo additional tests such as:
In some cases, lifestyle changes—such as quitting smoking, exercising and controlling weight—can keep peripheral artery disease under control.
Procedures that do not require surgery include:
In severe cases, you may have to undergo surgery. A number of proven surgical procedures have been developed to treat peripheral artery disease. They include carotid endarterectomy, femoropopliteal bypass, tibioperoneal bypass, mesenteric bypass, and abdominal aortic bypass. Your doctor will recommend the best treatment for your particular condition.
If you are over 50 and are experiencing certain symptoms, Oregon Heart & Vascular Institute offers regular screenings.

Purdue University researchers have shown that nanotubes might be used to create brain probes and implants to study and treat neurological damage and disorders.
Probes made of silicon currently are used to study brain function and disease but may one day be used to apply electrical signals that restore damaged areas of the brain. A major drawback to these probes, however, is that they cause the body to produce scar tissue that eventually accumulates and prevents the devices from making good electrical contact with brain cells called neurons, said Thomas Webster, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering.
New findings showed that the nanotubes not only caused less scar tissue but also stimulated neurons to grow 60 percent more fingerlike extensions, called neurites, which are needed to regenerate brain activity in damaged regions, Webster said.
The nanotubes were specially designed so that their surfaces contained tiny bumps measured in nanometers, or billionths of a meter. Conventional silicon probes do not contain the nanometer-scale surface features, causing the body to regard them as foreign invaders and surround them with scar tissue. Because the nanometer-scale features mimic those found on the surfaces of natural brain proteins and tissues, the nanotubes induce the formation of less scar tissue.
The scar tissue is produced by cells called astrocytes, which attach to the probes. The Purdue researchers discovered that about half as many astrocytes attach to the nanofibers compared to nanotubes that don't have the small features.
"These astrocytes can't make scar tissue unless they can adhere to the probe," Webster said. "Fewer astrocytes adhering to the nanotubes means less scar tissue will be produced."
The Purdue researchers pressed numerous nanofibers together to form discs and placed them in petri plates. Then the petri plates were filled with a liquid suspension of astrocytes. After one hour the nanotube disks were washed and a microscope was used to count how many of the dyed astrocytes washed out of the suspension, which enabled the researchers to calculate how many astrocytes stuck to the nanotubes. About 400 astrocytes per square centimeter adhered to the nanotubes containing the small surface features, compared to about 800 for nanotubes not containing the small surface features. The researchers repeated the experiment while leaving the nanotubes in the cell suspension for two weeks, yielding similar results.
When the nanotubes were placed in a suspension with neurons, the brain cells sprouted about five neurites, compared with the usual three neurites formed in suspensions with nanotubes that didn't have the small surface features.
Researchers plan to make brain probes and implants out of a mixture of plastics and nanotubes. The findings demonstrated that progressively fewer astrocytes attached to this mixture as the concentration of nanotubes was increased and the concentration of plastics was decreased.
"That means if you increase the percentage of carbon nanofibers you can decrease the amount of scar tissue that might form around these electrodes," Webster said.
The nanometer-scale bumps mimic features found on the surface of a brain protein called laminin.
"Neurons recognize parts of that protein and latch onto it," Webster said.
The crucifix-shaped protein then helps neurons sprout neurites, while suppressing the formation of scar tissue.
The tube-shaped molecules of carbon have unusual properties that make them especially promising for these and other applications. Researchers theorize that electrons might flow more efficiently over extremely thin nanotubes than they do over conventional circuits, possibly enabling scientists to create better brain probes as well as non-silicon-based transistors and more powerful, compact computers.

Less than a month ago, the college football world was rocked when N.C. State announced that quarterback Russell Wilson requested, and was granted, a release from his scholarship with the Wolfpack. Head coach Tom O'Brien wished Wilson the best, but insisted that his starting quarterback for 2011 was junior Mike Glennon. Wilson has one year of football eligibility remaining, and has quietly begun looking into potential relocation destinations.
According to ESPN's Joe Schad, Wilson will be visiting Auburn today. He has an off-day from his current post as second baseman of the Asheville Tourists, part of the Colorado Rockies organization. His commitment to the Rockies and his potential football availability are both unknown at this point in the process. The Rockies believe that he will finish the season with the Tourists, which lasts until Sept. 5. Other reports have stated that there is as much as a "95 percent chance" Wilson will be playing football on-time in the fall.
If Wilson, an all-conference caliber quarterback, joins the Tigers he will step right into the same system that highlighted the skills of 2010's Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton. According to Schad's report, Wilson arrived at Auburn Monday night and will spend all day with the coaches. Offensive coordinator Gus Mahlzan would be able to plug in Wilson to his high-octane system and let the experienced signal-caller make plays down the field. Head coach Gene Chizik has made no comment on the issue.

i think it would be a great fit for Wilson as well as AU. AU will be plugging the same calibre QB in a potent offense just like last year. a big, athletic, smart QB with a good arm and knows how to read at the line and adjust the play if needed. also, just as Newton, Wilson will have a great running game to keep the defense from sitting on him and ignoring the run game. also, he has an above average receiving core to help move along the passing game. in my opinion, its a win win. only question for me is how will the offensive line do?

Report: Russell Wilson visiting Auburn today
I'm not so sure about Auburn being the right choice. If his dream is baseball sure he may have a chance because he would have a chance at making Auburns team if he's half decent. And Auburn is good but not great I saw them play two times aginst my Trojans this year. We split the series but they had the benefit of getting us on the road after a big conference series during the first loss.
But Auburn still ranked in the top 30 in the RPI I think? So It could be a great deal for him to play football and baseball.
However, he needs to be serious this year is his last shot. He has the oppurtunity to graduate and a great academic school like UCLA who has QB issues. If he plays like he did at NC state he has a NFL future. I have never seen him play baseball but being decent at football is usually the better career.

Come on now.... if you want to start throwing some facts down.... make sure they are TRUE/CORRECT facts.
Rivers success rest purely on whether he has an amazing RB to pick up the slack.
Vick wasn't officially playing in the ACC when he graduated from VT. He was drafted in 2001.... VT wasn't even a PART of the ACC until 2004.
I'm not saying ACC produces good NFL players... Every conference does.... but as a whole. The ACC for a LONG time has always been a 1-2 top heavy conference in football.

I have just been reading how Google plans to monetise its Google voice service and wondered if this would be the end of listening to wonderful hold music that am sure we have all grown to love!
Google has just filed a patent called "Ringback Advertising" that has the capability to insert audio advertisements into your phone calls, with adverts being played to callers while they are waiting for their call to be answered, when call waiting has been activated or when they have been placed on hold.
From an advertisers point of view the ability to identify the callers location and target specific regional adverts is an attractive one. Google Voice is still only open to beta testers with invitations, so I imagine it will be some time before ring back advertising is available, but nevertheless another interesting concept for marketers to consider.
From a caller's perspective, maybe we will soon regret moaning about being placed on hold with the Light House family!

Remember, remember the 5th of November
Published: Friday 26th of October 2012
As the old adage goes, remember, remember the 5th of November, and with that date fast approaching what better time than to follow this advice when looking for things to do in London.
Gunpowder, treason and plot were the name of the game and to honour the legacy of this uniquely British event, people could dedicate a day of their trip to the capital to honour this exciting event.
Celebrate the history
Also known as Guy Fawkes' Night, this British tradition dates back to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 when catholic conspirator Fawkes attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament as well as King James I.
To this day, the event is celebrated across the country with fireworks and bonfires, where effigies of Guy Fawkes are burnt to remember the fight for independence.
In London it remains customary for the cellars in the Houses of Parliament to be searched by the Yeoman of the Guard before each State Opening of Parliament, meaning that Fawkes' legacy still remains very much alive.
To learn more about gunpowder, tourists can visit The Royal Artillery Museum of Woolwich, which charters the history of the Gunners from the first cannons all the way to present day artillery design.
While primarily a weaponry museum, it also displays the earliest known recorded form of gunpowder, making it a unique attraction for any visitor.
The history of artillery is on view, educating visitors on its origins and rapid development over the centuries.
Families who are keen to learn more about November 5th in particular could also head to the annual Guy Fawkes Festival at the Royal Gunpowder Mills in Waltham Abbey, Essex, which entertains the crowds with theatrical re-enactments and a firework extravaganza.
Cruise past the Houses of Parliament
A Thames river cruise is a brilliant way to see London, while also learning about some of its most famous attractions, such as the Houses of Parliament, which are nestled next to Westminster Abbey and Big Ben - some of the most iconic buildings in London.
While early November is likely to be a little chilly, these all-weather boats offer a comfortable journey with panoramic windows and expert guides, informing visitors of the history of Bonfire Night.
Park displays
After a busy day visiting the Houses of Parliament and learning more about gunpowder, visitors can spend the evening attending one of the impressive firework displays held across the capital.
Almost every borough in London has its own public display, so visitors should not have to travel far to find an exciting selection of fireworks lighting up the night sky.
One of the biggest displays is the Fireworks at Battersea Park event on November 3rd, which offers a wide selection of pyrotechnics all set to popular music.
The venue hosts a bar and food court, which open at 6pm, while the bonfire is lit at 7.30pm, followed by the full fireworks display at 8pm.
Visitors are advised to dress in outdoor, waterproof clothing to ensure that they can fully enjoy an evening under the stars.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune pits you as Nathan Drake, descendant of the famed British explorer (or bloodthirsty pirate, depending on your point of view) Sir Francis Drake, heading off on the trail of a great treasure supposedly found by the great man himself, shortly before he faked his own death. It is very much a game in the mold of Eidos' Tomb Raider franchise, but this isn't something Naughty Dog has a problem with; it's a rich genre, they say, and there's room for more than one franchise in it.
The game harks back to not only such modern cultural staples as Tomb Raider, but also the Indiana Jones movies, and it goes further back into the realm of Boy's Own adventures, old pulp novels, and 19th-century Penny Dreadfuls. As you'd expect with such a rich heritage, the story will be key, rather than just an excuse to get you from one gunfight to the next.
Over the course of the game, you will travel from a boat in the middle of the Pacific searching for Sir Francis Drake's coffin all the way to the mythical city of El Dorado, via ruined forts, deserted Spanish colonies, and all manner of other locations. The developer claims that the game will have 15 visually distinct areas, populated with a wide variety of puzzles and enemies.
While the puzzles are promised to be relatively challenging, the game will often help you along either with voice cues from NPCs or visual hints toward where you're trying to go. This hints could be a trail of lights up to the entrance you're looking for, or diagrams in the diary of Sir Francis Drake that you come across quite early on, in the unlikeliest of places.
In the sections we played through, the puzzles we encountered were fairly simple. One involved finding ways up to two platforms on either side of a body of water to raise the water level so we could proceed; the other involved following some mildly cryptic instructions from the diary by leaping around a ruined library to open a secret door.
As you'd expect, when not solving puzzles you will spend most of the game outnumbered and outgunned, but you won't be alone--you receive some support in the form of non-player characters. In the section we played through, from quite late in the game, one of the main characters--a budding documentary maker called Elena--was tagging along with you, providing a certain amount of cover fire but generally making a nuisance of herself. While there is no direct control over your support, the help can be invaluable.
In the section we played, Elena would move up fairly cautiously, providing small-arms fire when needed. While she won't take out many enemies by herself, the artificial intelligence is set up so that if she's the only one firing, it becomes much easier to outflank the approaching mercenaries, which proves useful given your low initial supply of ammunition and range of weapons.
While there is no official aiming assistance, when ducking out from behind cover to shoot, the crosshair tends to automatically pick up the enemy closest to the centre of your field of vision. This helps make life easier without making the combat too much of a breeze.
As has become par for the course in such games, you can carry only two firearms at any one time in Uncharted: a sidearm, which is generally a pistol or submachine gun such as an Uzi, and a heavier weapon. The heavier weapons cross the gamut you'd expect: in the sections we played there was a sniper rifle (with a measly five bullets) as well as an array of assault rifles and shotguns. You can also carry grenades, but these seemed rather hard to come by in the sections we played through. Playing the game, we found ourselves sticking to whichever assault rifle was being used by the opposition characters that carried them, and occasionally resorting to melee combat.
The melee element is an interesting addition to the relatively fast and loose gunplay, as the actions performed will vary considerably with the location and position of the enemies. You can sneak up behind unwary foes and snap their necks, charge down stairs and find yourself levelling enemies with a dropkick to the head, or just floor enemies on the flat with repeated punches to the gut.
The control scheme is intuitive, and the combat system will be instantly familiar to anyone who's played Gears of War; the nature of the combat leads to a very similar style of gunplay in which you find yourself ducking behind cover most of the time. One nice touch in the game is the reaction of the characters when taking cover--you can see Drake visibly flinch, and hear him curse as bullets ping off whatever item is currently shielding him from gunfire. The Naughty Dog team has developed a proprietary "emotional layering" technology that changes characters' facial and other physical expressions dynamically with their position. While the characters may only have a few thousand animations, these can be combined ad infinitum to create characters that feel considerably more real than you might expect from a relatively stylised world.
The use of the layering technology is not just restricted to emotional interaction, though--it also comes into play with Drake's interaction with his environment. As you roll through water, for instance, you'll suddenly find yourself wet; his jeans become darker and his action-hero grubby white shirt clings to him. Things gradually go back to the way you were as you dry off, in a manner that is also environmentally dependent--if you're wading through water, for example, the bottom of his jeans will remain sopping wet even as the rest of him dries off from a recent tumble.
Environmental interaction can have more lasting effects, too--blasting through a rotten balcony railing in an abandoned library with your shotgun can seem like a good idea when you see the first mercenary below, but you may find yourself wishing you hadn't demolished some of the precious little cover you have to protect you from his friends.
Another example of the game's versatility is the relatively advanced AI, as mentioned earlier. Your main foes are a band of pirates who rely on force of numbers and brute strength, and a group of heavily armored mercenaries, who are considerably more cunning. Both groups seem to react quickly to both your action and inaction, easily flanking and overrunning your position if stay still for too long, and reacting well when outflanked themselves.
The pirates seemed to be much more inclined to just lunge forward without considering your next move, which leads to more intense and slightly less tactical gun battles, whereas the mercs will move forward a little more reluctantly. Tied in with this is the game's dynamic difficulty setting; if you breeze through one waypoint section, you will find the next notably more difficult than it might otherwise have been, while the opposite is true if you are obviously struggling with one section.
This change was particularly apparent when playing through one two-waypoint section of the game for a second time; a slice of luck and experience from a first run led to a swift demolition of both waves of enemies up to the first waypoint, which led to a much harder second section, with the mercenaries there playing in a much more defensive mode than they did when the first section proved something of a struggle. Trying to then coax them out of cover without first exposing yourself to their weaponry proved a little trying but gave the game an interesting edge, and most gamers should find that the game's story plays out over the estimated 10 hours irrespective of skill levels.
While the game is unlikely to have much replay value, there are items scattered around the world to collect for the completionists out there, and Naughty Dog also promises a wide variety of internal points-style achievements that will become apparent as you play through.
While Uncharted: Drakes Fortune looks very unlikely to bring anything new to the table in terms of gameplay, it should provide players with an engrossing world, interesting story, and believable characters, tied together with genuinely fun fight sequences and interesting puzzles. The version we saw was prebeta, so it's shaping up nicely for its projected fourth-quarter release.

This is a PowerPoint Presentation (and extraction of the contents) I made as per a couple of friends' request (@EmadAshi and @AmrEldib) to show how OAuth works along with Twitter and how easy it is to cache OAuth credentials.
As I was doing related work for TweetToEmail. I felt a PowerPoint presentation will be even better than a blog post for this one, but here you get the two.
The Presentation
Twitter OAuth With C#/.NET Code
View more presentations from Mohamed Meligy.
The Contents
Application Registration
- A Twitter user creates a Twitter Application
- If the application is web based, it needs to provide a URL. "Localhost" is not accepted as a domain for this URL
- A Twitter Application gets two pieces of information
- Consumer Key
- Consumer Secret
- A Twitter Application will use these in all coming requests.
Initializing The Process
- User comes to the application and it decides to authenticate against Twitter
- Application makes a request using Consumer Key and Secret to obtain "Oauth Request Token", which consists of two parts
- Token
- Token Secret
- Application makes authentication URL including the "Oauth Request Token" parameter, and optionally a "Call-back URL" (if different than default URL in first step)
User Authentication
- The user is redirected to Twitter, the URL contains the "Oauth Request" to identify application authentication session
- Assuming the Twitter User being logged in and authorizes the Application
- If the application is a desktop application, Twitter gives the a user a number "Verifier" to manually write back to the application
- If the application is a web application, the user is redirected back to the application call-back URL with a complex "Verifier" parameter in the URL
Obtaining the Access Token
- The Application makes a request to Twitter including the "Oauth Request Token" and the "Verifier"
- It obtains an "Access Token", likewise it consists of two-parts:
- Token
- Token Secret
- The application needs to send the Consumer Key and Secret and Access Token in every future request that needs the Twitter User privileges
Caching Credentials
- The application needs at least one authorization process as before
- The Access Token returned can be saved in session/DB/whatever and then re-used later
- The application can later use the Access Token directly along with the Consumer Key / Secret to communicate with Twitter without going through any of the previous steps
Sample Code (TweetSharp v 2.0)
Request Token & Redirect
Getting Access Token
Hints for Web Applications
- The method GetAuthenticationUrl() has an overload that accepts a call-back URL for the user to be redirected to after obtaining verifer
- The important part in RequestToken is the Token part, not the secret.
- All parts of AccessToken are important and required
- When the user is redirected back from Twitter to your application, you get the following QueryString parameters sent to you
- oauth_token: The Token part of the Request Token
- oauth_verifier: The verifier required to obtain the Access Token later
Using Cached Access Token

West Seattle storm aftermath: Saturday midday notesJanuary 21, 2012 at 10:17 am | In West Seattle news, West Seattle weather | 4 Comments
(Added 11:20 am: Early-early-morning Constellation Park waves, by Kenna Klosterman)
FORECAST: The wind advisory has officially expired. The National Weather Service says it'll still be "blustery" but not serious enough for an alert. Showers and highs in the mid-40s. No West Seattle power outages, either; in the middle of the night, there was one very small outage on the map near Alki Point, but that appears to have been resolved.
CLOSURES/CHANGES: Still a few. West Seattle Golf Course is closed (per Facebook). Community School of West Seattle (WSB sponsor) has postponed today's open house till February 4th. Marination Mobile canceled its regular Saturday visit. Otherwise, as far as we know, what's on the WSB West Seattle Events calendar for today IS still on – check it out here; tomorrow we will resume our daily morning previews of each day's highlights.
'MOUNT COSTCO': Kathleen e-mailed the photo of the giant snow mound in the Costco parking lot on 4th, for those thinking about making the bulk-buying run from West Seattle. She says the parking traffic jam is about that big too.

There is a paddle boarder in the rough surf north end of Lincoln park. He looks strong but it's very rough put there

I know Chris prefers food-based themes for his artistry in photos. Nonetheless, maybe he could place one of his miniature show shovelers against the Costco pile so that we could get a true sense of scale…

I am working on an fbml application which can be added to a fan page. The application then sends ajax request to my php script for data etc. I have to store some data on my php side against a key or something which remains the same throughout facebook session. How can I implement this? Is there any way to send facebook session id in ajax request? I am using fbml Ajax() element to send ajax request. Here's a glimpse of code
function do_ajax(path)
var sessionKey = '###'; //Something representing fbml app's session state
var ajax = new Ajax();

ELM GROVE CREEK. Elm Grove Creek rises five miles southeast of Navasota in southern Grimes County (at 30°19' N, 95°59' W) and runs south six miles to its mouth on Rocky Creek (at 30°16' N, 96°01' W), a tributary of Beason's Creek. Elm Grove Creek traverses gently sloping to nearly level terrain surfaced by clayey, loamy, and sandy soils that support long narrow lines of water oak, elm, and pecan woodland along the banks of the creek's lower course. Settlement in the vicinity began during the 1820s when the community of Lynn Grove, still extant in the 1980s, was established on the stream. During the 1870s and 1880s a school known as West Academy, which served western Wallace Prairie, operated on the upper creek.

Clark Morris, a member of the William Jewell College class of 1991, has been named vice president for advancement at William Jewell College in Liberty, Mo. The appointment is effective immediately.
Morris has most recently served as executive and artistic director of the Harriman-Jewell Series, the internationally acclaimed performing arts presenting series begun at the College by alumnus Richard Harriman in 1965. In that capacity, Morris has overseen all aspects of the Series. With more than 20 years experience with the Harriman-Jewell Series, he was responsible for all fiscal operations, board development and management, artistic decisions and office management. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from William Jewell College, a Master of Business Administration degree from MidAmerica Nazarene University, and is a graduate of the Executive Program for Non-Profit Leaders in the Arts at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
"Clark brings a great deal of experience in fund-raising and in management and leadership, having led the Harriman-Jewell Series smoothly through significant transitions," said William Jewell College president Dr. David Sallee. "We look forward to having Clark's leadership in this position of significant responsibility for the institution." Dr. Sallee noted that Morris will continue to be responsible for the Harriman-Jewell Series, but that an associate director will handle many of the Series' operational functions.
"It has been an honor for me to serve my alma mater in a variety of roles as part of the wonderful Harriman-Jewell Series that was created at the College by my late friend and mentor Richard Harriman," Morris said. "I welcome this opportunity to serve the institution in a broader capacity, while continuing to lead the Harriman-Jewell Series in its unwavering pursuit to bring the best to Kansas City audiences."
Beyond his contributions to Kansas City's cultural landscape, Morris' community roles range from church leader to camp director to little league coach. He is married to Stephanie Morris and they have two sons: Jacob, 13, and Austin, 10. They are residents of Liberty.

CLEVELAND - Federal prosecutors have charged Charles J. Randazzo, of Solon, with conspiracy to land retirement planning business with Cuyahoga County.
Randazzo, 62, the president and CEO of Twinsburg-based Financial Network of America, was charged with allegedly giving favors to public officials in exchange for the county's business.
The charges were filed as an information, which usually means the defendant is cooperating with authorities through a plea deal.
They allege he bribed former Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora and former Cuyahoga County Auditor Frank Russo in June, 2004, by giving them $1,079.14 toward the purchase of fake palm trees for their back yards.
Dimora used his money to buy a tiki hut for his back yard instead, the information states.
Randazzo, who founded FNA in 1973, also gave Dimora food, wine and sports tickets for himself and friends.
Then, according to prosecutors, Dimora and the other two county commissioners voted in favor to select FNA as a deferred compensation provider for the county on August 11, 2004.
According to the filing, FNA's business with the county was suspended in October, 2005 due to having six financial options within one payroll slot. But then in 2006, the county entered into another contract with FNA.
The court filing said Randazzo asked Dimora to introduce him to other public employees who could assist FNA in securing other public contracts, which Dimora allegedly did.
Russo, 61, and Dimora, 56, were the prime targets of FBI and IRS agents in the widespread Cuyahoga County corruption probe that went public July 28, 2008.
Dimora left office in January, 2011 when the new county reform government took over. On Sept. 14, 2010, he was charged with 26 counts in the probe and pleaded not guilty.
He has maintained his innocence and is scheduled to go to trial Sept. 12.
Russo was charged with 21 counts, resigned as auditor, and pleaded guilty last fall. He has been cooperating with authorities and faces nearly 22 years in prison.

Yup, I barely noticed either. The new Windows Live Hotmail is officially out of beta today (18 months later). I switched over to check it out and, yes, there are a few new features worthy of note.
1. The mailbox has been doubled in size to 2 GB.
2. It's prettier, a more elegant interface, that you can customize a little. I say a little, and mean it. It's a drop down menu with a dozen or so color choices. I picked orange as an homage to my beloved University of Texas. For that reason, I would have appreciated a darker sienna burnt orange, rather than that lighter other-UT shade of orange.
3. It now includes an option to include a view of what's actually in the email without opening it. Some people hate that feature, because they're afraid someone will read over their shoulder before they have a chance to click off. You don't have to use the feature. I happen to like it, because I work from home and like having a peek at the contents before I commit to opening it up.
4. If your hotmail account is a secondary account that you rarely check, no worries. Old Hotmail deactivated automatically after two months. The new Hotmail does not.
5. Uh, hmmm.. I think that's about it.
It's a nice upgrade for hotmail. But it doesn't exactly live up to the Live part, which is supposed to be the new web 2.0 version of hotmail.
I could also do without the American Idol and Nokia ads that take up 25% of the workspace.
