Best and Worst levels in Jediknightii.. *spoilers*
Best level:
Bespin, Jedi Academy
Bespin was a great level, it reminded you of places vader and luke fought, and showed me how vader got from the one room to the other. It really looks like Bespin and I just cant stop playing this level.
The jedi academy level qwas neat, showing you what it all looked like and watch the jedis train, pretty sweet.
Worst Level:
Narr Shadda
It looks nothing like the city besides the darkness and space. Its a lot better than jediknight's version of it but you dont go through buildings like a maze, it should have been like breaking into buildings, each skyscrapper was something like a store or place too eat. They deffiantly needed NPCS in this level, NPCS who were just people walking around or in buidlings or on the ground.
<<<<<<<this is only my opinion>>>>>
I liked Nar Shadda quite a lot. It was inventive with the force puzzles, and gave you some good fun jumps and fights. With some reborn in there it would hvae been great.
Jedi Academy was great, yes, Bespin was okay. I liked the very first Jedi fight.
I think the first few levels would be great if you had the lightsabre. I might try them with cheats on to see.
Worst levels were the middle bits on board the doomgiver, I thought. They just lost the will to design levels well, placing enemies in places only jedis can get to, and just not thinkig as much as they do on other levels.
I agree that badguys in strange places sucks too. Me, personally I hate Nar Shaddaa! It wouldn't be so bad if weren't for the snipers though
I agree completely.
Bespin was the greatest, it was the first level where you could kick stormie ass, as well as the first saber fighting level. Plus the level design was great, it really promoted Jedi style fighting.
And Nar Shadaa was definately the worst, the level design was the opposite of Bespin, if you tried to fight with style you died a very vertical death. Plus the snipers being unblockable... Rrgh, I'm on this damn level right now while I replay the game...
I didn't like the Cairn Dock, where you had to sneak through. Not because of difficulty (a level 4 Mind Trick and a long fall are all I needed for that level, heheh), but because it just seemed like they threw it in. Here we have Kyle blasting his way through the rest of Cairn, killing at least twice as many Stormtroopers and other Imperial slime, and here he decides to finally sneak around? That doesn't make sense. Of all the places to sneak, I would've thought you'd do that in the Doomgiver's detention area.
I also didn't like Nar Shaddaa: for a wretched hive of scum and villainy, it was awfully clean and awfully empty. No graffiti, flashing neon lights, or posters or anything, just random, armed scum. Nothing like the original Dark Forces. That Nar Shaddaa was fun: you could see anti-Rebellion posters, flashing lights, and graffiti in addiction to the random armed scumahhh, a Star Wars Las Vegas.
Ah, maybe we were in the "Nohing Except One Bar Where All Patrons Must Hate Jedi" district of Nar Shaddaa.
I have to agree with Sithxace. Nar Shadda was bad cuz of the snipers. Also, I wasn't too fond of the stealth level. The Academy was the best cuz you had all of your force powers and you just saber dueled. :D
The stealth thing was ridiculous. I can imagine the conversation: Lead Designer, "All the new fps games have stealth components. Put it in there,"
Level Designer, "Thats impossible, the game ships in a month and theres no place stealth would make sense."
"Whats that you're working on? Stick it in there."
"Yes massah."
And Nar Shadaa pissed me off even more. They give you a lightsaber and render it useless any time you're outside. What? The level was designed well (too much damn jumping though) but the Rodian snipers destroyed it. If they wanted snipers they should have put them in one of thte earlier levels as Stormtroopers.
When you finally get the sabre, you'll want to use it!
I dont want to spend my time running around dodging sniper bullets, I want to cleave stormtroopers! :D
I just played the demo map, and I gotta say why did they never use the floor reflextion effect in the game? It makes the saber battles cooler and is something cool just to look at.
The reflection effect eats a lot of resources => probably a performance decision.
so they should have put it in game if person selects all high in graphics options, and it wont be there if they put it on low etc.
Nar Shaddaa had some great puzzles, but the snipers were very annoying and I expected the first level with your lightsaber to be more friendly for saberists... Only the fight in the bar was cool, slashing some aliens, hehe :D
The Jedi Academy Trials were also very cool, the best tutorial I've seen in a game yet! The ending in the Jedi Academy was also very cool, woth all your forepowers at last! The fight with desann and the ending cut scene were very dissapointing though...
The Swamp was cool, but my framerate dropped to 'non-playable' and the water was too deep -> lightsaber off, GRRRRR :mad:
I LOVE the Yavin swamps and the canyon, those are my fav eeeever :)
Actually, these are my 4 way tie lol
Jedi Academy, Bespin, Carin Installation, Yavin Swamps + Canyon.
And the worst level....
Nar Shaddaa - Too clean and...... quiet. Where IS everyone? JK Nar Shaddaa is WAY better. I had such high expectations of what it would be like in JO, and it turned out to be the exact opposite lol.
Irritating levels:
Kejim Post - cause some of the puzzels in it were hellla annoying
Artus Mines - The second time ya gotta run away from those overgrown bugs, ugh. Like 10 miles of dark narrow bug filled tunnels. AAAAAND those prisoners are dumbasses who kill NOTHING AT ALL, making it WAY harder to save em.
I hate playing in the swamp !!
Why ?? because in there my screen refresh rate drops
to ~1% of normal... (maybe a bit exaggerated but...)
It is like diashow...:mad:

Patients with pancreatic cancer continue to have a poor prognosis, with a 5-y survival rate of less than 5%. Surgery is the only treatment that offers a potential cure. Determining resectability is the principal goal of staging in pancreatic cancer patients. Our objective was to evaluate the value of combined contrast-enhanced (18)F-FDG PET/CT in assessing the resectability of pancreatic cancer and to compare enhanced PET/CT with the performance of PET alone and unenhanced PET/CT. METHODS: Fifty patients (25 women and 25 men; mean age, 64.3 y; range, 39-84 y) with biopsy-proven pancreatic adenocarcinoma underwent enhanced (18)F-FDG PET/CT for the evaluation of resectability. Criteria for unresectability were distant metastases, peritoneal carcinomatosis, arterial infiltration, or invasion of neighboring organs other than the duodenum. The performance of enhanced PET/CT regarding resectability was compared with that of PET alone and unenhanced PET/CT. Histology, intraoperative findings, and follow-up CT with clinical investigations were used as the reference standard. RESULTS: According to the reference standard, 27 patients had disease that was not resectable because of distant metastases (n=17), peritoneal carcinomatosis (n=5), or local infiltration (n=5). In the assessment of resectability, PET alone had a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 44%, accuracy of 70%, positive predictive value of 61%, and negative predictive value of 100%; unenhanced PET/CT had respective values of 100%, 56%, 76%, 66%, and 100%; and enhanced PET/CT, 96%, 82%, 88%, 82%, and 96%. In 5 patients, unresectability was missed by all imaging methods and was diagnosed intraoperatively. Enhanced PET/CT was significantly superior to PET alone (P=0.035), and there was a trend for enhanced PET/CT to be superior to unenhanced PET/CT (P=0.070). CONCLUSION: The use of enhanced PET/CT as a 1-stop-shop imaging protocol for assessing the resectability of pancreatic cancer is feasible and accurate. Enhanced PET/CT is significantly superior to PET alone.

Constantine on Tinsley: 'We Have a Great Time Together'
"And we have a lot in common!"
There were more than a few curious glances and at least one WTF uttered at Mr. Chow last night when in walked a disheveled Constantine Maroulis, fresh off the stage of Broadway's Rock of Ages, with his new seeming gal pal Tinsley Mortimer! The odd couple sipped drinks and posed for pictures together, but the former American Idol contestant was coy when we asked him about his apparent budding romance with the socialite. "We've been very, very good friends," he told us at the party for the new Demi Moore–Parker Posey film, Happy Tears. We weren't convinced. What about more than friends? "You'll have to ask her that," Maroulis said awkwardly. "We have a good time together and we have a lot in common." Hmmm. Think about that one for a second. It's time to play a Daily Intel guessing game: What do Tinsley Mortimer and Constantine Maroulis have in common? (Things that one caught from the other don't count. We kid.)

Tuesday, Yahoo News reported that 16- year-old Ann Makosinski invented a flashlight powered solely by the heat of the human hand. The teenager created the simple, thermoelectric design to bring light to poverty-stricken places where electricity is not available or too expensive.
The design utilizes peltier tiles, which produce electricity when one side is heated, and the other side cooled, arranged around a hollow aluminum core. The flashlight will work as long there is a temperature difference.
The inspiration for the young lady's project reveals her noble spirit. Sandra Makosinski, Ann's mother, hails from the Philippines, and had taken the family on two separate trips to visit her home country. While there, Ann was struck by the vast difference between the luxuries afforded to her in Victoria, Canada, and the poverty in the Philippines. She made friends and kept in contact with them via mail. One of her pen pals wrote that her home's lack of electricity made studying at night impossible was causing her to fail in school.
"I just wanted to help my friend in the Philippines,and my flashlight was a possible solution," Ann said.
After placing second at a local science fair, Ann went on to win in her age category in the 2013 Google Science Fair. She received a trophy made of Legos, a visit to Lego HQ in Denmark, and a $25,000 scholarship.
I didn't expect to win anything," she said. "I still have some of the same confetti that rained down," said Ann. "Just an amazing experience and probably something I won't experience ever again."
Ann is still working to increase the voltage of her design.

MEN: Jovetic set to be a City hit
- 12 October 2013 08:51
- Posted by @porter_mcfc
Stevan Jovetic is set to be a big hit in England, according to today's reports.
His country may have gone down 4-1 to the Three Lions at Wembley, but the Montenegrin striker showed off his skills in a classy display, and the Manchester Evening News has predicted he will shine in a City shirt in the coming months.
Writes David Lynch: "Despite having netted twice in the League Cup win over Wigan last month, it would be fair to say that Jovetic has endured a frustrating start to his City career. A series of niggles have prevented the attacker from hitting top gear in the Premier League as yet, but a fine performance for his country on Friday showed that he is sure to be a success in England.
"The 23-year-old was lively and threatening throughout, and came within inches of scoring a beauty only to be denied by the woodwork."
Good news for City fans, whichever national side you support…
It's an international break, which means that plenty of transfer speculation is filling column inches deprived of top tier domestic action this weekend.
We begin with Talksport, which claims City are interested in taking Malaga stopper Willy Caballero to the Etihad Stadium in January.
The 32-year-old won plaudits in Spain for his role in getting Manuel Pellegrini's then side into the Champions League quarter finals, and reports suggest the City boss is keen to stage a reunion.
The report reads: "Caballero is on his radar - the pair know each other well from their time at Malaga - and a bid in January is in the pipeline.
"City have been linked with Real Madrid's Iker Casillas but Caballero is seen as a more realistic option."
Goalkeepers are the theme of the day, with the Daily Mail suggesting City will do battle with Manchester United to land 15-year-old Kjetil Haug.
The Norwegian has been dubbed the 'new Schmeichel' (that's Peter, by the way), and is said to have a number of Premier League sides chasing his signature.
Adam Crafton explains: "United face stiff competition to capture Haug, who is this month set to train with Manchester City for a three day spell and the goalkeeper has also been invited to spend time with both Arsenal and Everton later on this year."
Do remember, any transfers are only confirmed when you read them here on mcfc.co.uk!

I have created an RSA private key using PuTTYgen. When I try to use it, I am notified that I can't use this encrypted key in Filezilla, so from the documentation I found that I need to use the Pageant tool. Now the problem is I am using Fedora (the latest version), how can I install Pageant? Is there any equivalent of Pageant out there? I am not good with Linux so I need a GUI method.
PuTTY has its own private key file format. If you want to use a key file generated by PuTTYgen, you need to convert it to the OpenSSH key format (which is the standard on Linux and other unix systems). Use the export command in PuTTYgen.
You'll get a key file, often called

More spy shots coming in from the Nurburgring, and this time around it's the Skoda Rapid's turn. The pictured prototype sports a few decals around the front and rear lights to hide the new shapes, and they also tried the same trick with the shape of the rear door. Nice try guys, but it didn't quite work out the way they expected.
Initially the Rapid will be introduced as a hatchback, while a station wagon version is also in the works. As for the powertrain, the model should make use of the latest VW developments in terms of engines and gearboxes. The Skoda Rapid should be officially unveiled at the next 2012 Paris Motor Show.

Roaring into theaters this weekend is Gareth Edwards' Godzilla, a big screen rebirth of the legendary movie monster who has been around for sixty years and more than thirty feature films. Edwards impressed with his debut feature, the small-budget monster movie appropriately titled Monsters, which showed he has a gift for visual effects and creature design, and obviously it convinced Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures he was the right man for the job. They certainly gave him an excellent cast to work in Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston, Ken Watanabe, Sally Hawkins, and Juliette Binoche.
Local film critic Tim Gordon and I had a chance to talk to Gareth Edwards for our show, Addicted to Film, and he talked about the challenges of bringing Godzilla back and doing it right. He also talked about Godzilla's construction, coming up with a fresh origin that respected the past, and some of his concern taking over such a huge studio project. You can watch that interview below.

FORT WORTH, Texas - Ashley Morgan won two events and was among three Stanford gymnasts to match the team's highest score this season during the Cardinal's victory in the three-team Metroplex Challenge at the Fort Worth Convention Center Arena on Saturday.
No. 12 Stanford (7-2) scored 196.375 points to beat Bridgeport (193.600) and Brown (191.725).

Qlik Technologies (NASDAQ:QLIK) is prepared to take on Tableau Software (NYSE:DATA) in an attempt to benefit from the company's successful model of simplicity and data utilization. Tableau Software's business model has taken the big data market by storm, causing headwinds for leader Tibco Software (NASDAQ:TIBX), so do Qlik's new initiatives change the investment outlook for these three companies?
What's QlikView.Next?
On Monday, Barclays upgraded shares of Qlik Technologies to overweight, ahead of a second-quarter report that might as well be irrelevant. The reason: Investors are more concerned with new products from Qlik, specifically QlikView.Next and its impact on the future.
Sometime in the next few months, Qlik will launch a business intelligence software platform called QlikView.Next at multiple price points, aimed at giving clients a wide selection of services and applications.
The company is hoping that by presenting this technology on a platform with applications that serve specific purposes, and by focusing on simplicity with navigational features like The Hub, it can accelerate revenue growth beyond the 16% that is expected over the next two years.
What's Tableau's biggest edge?
In addition, QlikView.Next has all the makings of a platform to compete against Tableau, whose focus on simplicity has not only made it attractive to consumers and small businesses, but also large enterprise clients. For years, Tibco reigned in the enterprise space, being the only company to offer "fast data," which is instantaneous versus "slow data," or a compilation of data during a specific time frame.
Tibco has more than $1 billion of 12-month revenue as the largest pure big data company, but has seen its growth fall from a cliff in recent quarters. Specifically, Tibco has found new license sales difficult to achieve, which then carry into maintenance and subscriptions. During its last quarter, Tibco's license revenue fell 7% year over year, while Tableau saw growth of 83% year over year in the same category. Qlik Technologies also saw weakness in license revenue, which grew just 2% year over year during its first quarter.
Tibco CEO Vivek Ranadive insists that pricing is the key difference in why Tableau has achieved such success, but that finding a price point to please lower-end clients, while not sacrificing higher-end clients, remains a challenge. Furthermore, this process includes finding price points for specific services so that Tibco and Qlik can become competitive against a company that has seemingly found the answer to this problem.
For example, R.W. Baird believes the tool most replaced by Tableau is Excel, which has a total of 325 million corporate users, indicating great fundamental upside. Therefore, not only knowing this fact, but also creating a superior product with a better pricing point, will be key for Qlik's new platform to drive growth.
A step in the right direction
With that said, Qlik will try to achieve this feat with an application-focused system. While Barclays is obviously encouraged, other firms like BMO have expressed concerns that various pricing and product models may not be very effective for Qlik, supporting Ranadive's comments that finding the perfect balance is a challenge.
Nonetheless, QlikView.Next is a step in the right direction, while Tibco has yet to find a solution for its licensing problem. Qlik Technologies will report earnings on Thursday, but given the anticipation for QlikView.Next, it's possible that investors will give poor licensing revenue a mulligan if it occurs.
As for Tableau, it remains the most disruptive company in the industry, one that's pricey at 15.2 times sales, but whose enormous market opportunity makes it worth the valuation. The company has just 17,000 total customer accounts, adding 1,800 in the first quarter, with 120 being valued at more than $100,000. This shows that Tableau is making a big dent in the enterprise space.
Foolish thoughts
Tableau Software has an appealing service for a wide array of clients in the business intelligence space, an industry valued at $12 billion. Hence, the company's outlook remains intact as competitors focus their energies on playing catch-up.
At this point, it's impossible to know whether Qlik or Tibco will be successful, once the latter launches a new platform. This fact alone gives a big edge to Tableau, as it continues to gain momentum and grow quickly in a large industry that's transforming daily.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

New Orleans Saints guard Carl Nicks said he spent about two days "sulking" after New Orleans' season-ending playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks, and he guesses it took about 2 1/2 weeks before he really started to turn the page.
But it was this past week in Hawaii that really helped the healing process.
Nicks, a first-time participant in the Pro Bowl, is relaxing on the beach with family and friends, and is surrounded by a support group of the game's elite players, all of whom are equally jealous of the Super Bowl-bound Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers.
"All of the other guys are all going through the same thing," Nicks said via telephone after Friday's practice. "It gives you a shoulder to cry on."
Five Saints will participate in tonight's annual postseason all-star game, which returned to its usual home in Honolulu after being played in Miami last year. Nicks will be joined by quarterback Drew Brees, guard Jahri Evans, linebacker Jonathan Vilma and safety Roman Harper.
All of them admittedly would prefer to be heading to Dallas this week instead. But Nicks and Evans said they've been learning to understand that a Super Bowl trip doesn't come along every year.
"Our time wasn't this year," Evans said. "Our time was last year. When we lost that game at Seattle, it kind of shocked us. I definitely sulked a little bit. But that's over. That next day felt like our first time off in two years."
This is the fifth Pro Bowl selection for Brees, the third for Vilma and the second for Evans and Harper. But it's the first time Evans and Harper have participated; they were held out of the game last year in the week leading up to the Super Bowl.
"It's definitely a neat experience, being around all the all-stars," Evans said. "There's a lot of guys here that have been great for a long time."
Nicks said to take the field alongside veteran stars such as Michael Vick, Tony Gonzalez, Jason Witten and countless others has been "breathtaking."
"There's no real word to describe it," Nicks said. "It's a blessing to be around all the Pro Bowlers, the stars of the game. To be considered among them for a week, that's a blessing. It's a once-in-a-lifetime sort of thing. ... Well, hopefully not. But you know what I mean."
Even Brees, who is turning this game into a permanent commitment on his calendar, said the chance to be around so many players you admire from around the league, and have "kind of a fellowship" with, is special. And he said it's particularly valuable for younger players who can watch the longtime vets in action.
"Even though practices are obviously kind of laid-back, still, that competitive fire is in all of us when we get out here," Brees said during an NFL Network interview. "And it's fun to be around those guys and see what makes them great."
The NFC squad is coached by Mike Smith and the Atlanta Falcons staff, since they were the top team among all losing squads in the second round of the playoffs. The AFC squad is coached by Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots staff.
Nicks said he was a little "hesitant" at first about working for the enemy this week. "But Mike Smith seems like a good guy," he said. "As long as I don't give him any secrets, I'll be OK."
Although the game has a loose feel to it, there is always a little bit of pride on the line -- and a little bit of cash. The winning Pro Bowl players each make $40,000 for the game, and the losing players receive $20,000 each.
Injuries are possible, too -- as Brees painfully learned when he dislocated his left, non-throwing elbow during the 2007 game.
And Nicks and Evans said they can't imagine how a guard can play a game at half-speed, with contact guaranteed on every play.
"You really can't fake playing guard. If a QB gets hit, that's your butt," Nicks said. "I also heard in the fourth quarter, it turns into the playoffs. I guess that's when it comes down to the $20,000."

Avid really didn't have a choice in approving the product because it essentially is just an extension of the desktop, it works, and no serious coding necessary. Plus there's high demand and money always helps

My sister wants me to try this deodorant she just started using. I've told her repeatedly that I hate using something that is not also an antiperspirant! I hate to sweat! She gave me a container of the brand she is using, and told me that it is all natural. I understand that she likes things to be all-natural, and I'm fine with that, but if it doesn't stop me from sweating, I don't want to use it! I don't know how else to explain it to her. What would you do?

Super Cute Homemade Little Girls Dress
One of Ladybug's friends wore the cutest little dress to school yesterday. Her mom made it all by hand. She said that she just looked at a picture and tried to match it the best she could. My favorite part about the dress are the straps. They are not your ordinary straps.
Instead of connecting in the front and back they are only attached in the front. I guess they are somewhat like a halter dress straps. Anyway, you don't tie them like a halter dress but I suppose you could. There is a hole in the back to feed them through. Then once through the hole you tie the straps into a big bow. I thought it was absolutely adorable!
Sometimes when I see creative things like that I wonder why I never thought of doing something like that. It kind of makes me want to get a sewing machine and learn how to sew. I would love to be able to make new outfits for Ladybug all of time. I know she would love having something new and especially if she helped me pick out the patterns and materials. I bet I could find a decently priced sewing machine on Craigslist instead of investing a bunch of money into something I'm not sure I will really stick with.
Easy Hairstyles for Little Girls Needed
This morning when I was getting Lady Bug ready for school I sighed as I put her hair up I the exact same style I do most every day. She never complains about her hair but she doesn't get much of a variety in her hair styles either.
Most days her hair is put up in two half pony tails to keep her hair out of her face. I'll braid the pony tails if we have time on occasion. I've also tried doing french pig tails but she doesn't have the patience to sit still while I do that to her hair. She's let me give her braided pig tails which are cute.
I need some easy hairstyles for little girls that I can do on her that don't take much time at all. By that I mean I can be done in less than 5 minutes or less. Neither of us are much of morning people so we don't have much time to get ready once we do get up in the morning. I'd love to have a few more styles I can do to her hair so it doesn't get boring and she can be excited about her and what we do with it each day. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Mommy Daughter Manicures & Pedicures
Ladybug and I gave each other manicures today. I let her pick out whatever color she wanted to use. We used her new Strawberry Shortcake nail polish set. She painted my nails the light bright pink and put yellow polk-a-dots. I let her use one of my dotting tools to add the little polk-a-dot shapes. She had soo much fun that she asked if she could do my toes too! She painted my toes dark pink and put green dots on the corner of each nail. She's soo creative. This isn't the normal polish designs I could wear to work so good thing it's a holiday weekend.
When I went to paint her toes she kept giggling because the toe separates were tickling her feet. It took me awhile to get her to settle down but eventually she did. I painted her toes the dark pink color and added light oink flowers with a yellow center. Her fingers were done in the light pink color with green polk-a-dots. We had soo much fun painting each others' fingers and toes that I think we might make this a regular mommy daughter date at least once a month.
Pampering Myself
After work yesterday I decided to pamper myself a bit. I went to the nail salon and got a manicure and a pedicure. I've been wearing a lot of open toe shoes and sandals lately and my feet really needed some extra tender love and care. I love sitting in the massaging chair and relaxing as my feet soak in the warm bubbly water. It feels great when the massage my feet and calves. Sometimes I wish I could bring that chair and the manicurist home with me.
Today I got a holiday design on my toes. I got a variation of a french manicure. I had them paint my toe nails red white and blue, with stars and stripes. They look absolutely amazing. As for my finger nails, I always have them done in the traditional French manicure. I think it looks the most professional and never clashes with any of my clothes.

Review: The Young Tycoons
C J Johnson's mid-noughties play about two rival media barons and their heirs apparent doesn't take itself too seriously.
The protagonists are thinly disguised stand-ins for Rupert and Kerry and Lachlan and Jamie. I think we're meant to walk out of the theatre exchanging smirks and whispering to one other, "What a bunch of wankers".
I'm inclined to believe they are little more dangerous than that, but there seems to be reluctance here for the piece to come off as too scathing lest it dampen an enjoyable night out. As a result, it's not much more than a harmless diversion.
We are back in the early years of the new millennium. On Katja Handt's blonde wood wave set, the fathers and sons make their entrances and exits, as various underlings, minor model girlfriends and right-hand man types, gather in the shade of the "great" men. The brisk, short scenes, more revue style sketches, offer no complex picture of these men, instead, we are served up what most of us already know, somewhat ironically, from tabloidism and these first families are certainly grist for the mill.
Our aging patriarchs, Ted Vogler and Liam Warburton are played with admirable authority by Laurence Coy and John Turnbull. Their successors are a charming Edmund Lembke-Hogan, as the not too bright Kim Vogler, with Andrew Sutcliffe cutting a suave figure as the Harvard-educated Trevor Warburton.
Director Michael Pigott surely knows it's harder to hit a moving target, so he maintains a fast pace throughout. He has a great cast at his disposal still it didn't distract me from wondering why this piece, so of its time, has been given another remount. This work has already had two previous outings under the Darlo banner, both very successful, but despite some topical updates I couldn't help thinking television does this stuff so much better. I probably would have enjoyed it more if the satire was sharper and the comedy, well, funnier.
I wasn't in on opening night. I saw the show a week later and the actors were playing to a house half full but without exception gave all-stops-out-performances. They deserve better material.

After its launch in Stockholm in January 2011 – where more than 280,000 visitors passed through the doors – Madrid is only the second city to host the NASA: The Adventure of Space Exhibition which will be touring Europe for the next five years. Totally unique, the 2,500 square metre showcase brings together an extraordinary collection of more than 300 original items – instruments, artefacts, machinery, spacesuits… all of which have journeyed into space, plus faithful life-size replicas and meticulously-crafted scale models – which have never before been exhibited, perhaps surprisingly, not even in the US.
And the Spanish capital is the perfect place for The Adventure of Space Exhibition – which opened on 16 December 2011 and runs until 15 June 2012 – not only because if you're on the Costa del Sol, then Madrid is just a 60-minute flight, or less than 2.5 hours away by high speed train, but also because the city has played a key role in NASA's Space Program, and for that matter still does.
But more of that later, 'cos unless Neil Armstrong's inimitable words: "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind," – witnessed by millions around the world as he stood on the moon on 21 July 1969 – left you totally unmoved, then you'll be itching to find out just what's in store for you at this once in a lifetime exhibition…
Organised by John Nurminen Events & UAU in collaboration with Kansas Cosmosphere, the NASA: The Adventure of Space or in Spanish, NASA: La Aventura del Espacio: La Exposición, is an absolutely authentic experience chronicling the reality of the space adventure from its earliest beginnings… to future projects.
The dramatic and inspirational story about human achievement starts at the entrance to the pavilion, where there's an exact replica of the gangway via which the Apollo 17 astronauts – the last to walk on the moon – entered their lunar module from the launch pad. Complete with the simulated atmosphere of a typically humid Florida night, as you look through the window, you can see the very same plastic bag in which Yuri Gagarin – the first man to orbit the Earth – kept his personal possessions during the flight. The scene set, your space voyage, which ends with the opportunity to experience zero gravity in a flight simulator, is just about to begin…
Arranged in chronological order, there are six different galleries to explore, namely: Go fever; Dreamers: Visualising space; Pioneers: The science and design of rockets; Innovation: Special space crafts: Equipment and communications; Resistance: Astronauts, spacesuits and EVA (Extravehicular Activity); and Next generation: Space and beyond.
Highlights of the show undoubtedly include the awesome replicas, many of which are life-size, and were built by Don Bies, the creator of Star Wars' R2-D2 robot. Among them there's a Gemini spacecraft complete with a recreation of the tiny cabin in which astronauts Jim Lovell and Frank Borman lived for 14 days; a Lunar Roving Vehicle; an Apollo cabin fitted out exactly as it was for a space mission; and the forward section of the Atlantis Space Shuttle. One of its real wheels is also on display, as is a fascinating 1:72 scale model of the International Space Station coupled to the Space Shuttle.
In the spacesuits section you can see inside one of the Portable Life Support Systems that enabled astronauts to work outside their Lunar Modules, while more basic but nonetheless authentic items include the staple diet of dehydrated food, as well as the bottles of vodka that accompanied Soviet cosmonauts on their early space flights.
In addition, you can get up close with projects that so far haven't seen the light of day, such as the Apollo 18-20 lunar missions, the X-20 Dyna Soar and the Manned Orbital Laboratory, while recent projects together with some still on the drawing-board include the Hubble telescope, the Voyager I and II missions plus Mars Pioneer.
And the key role that the Spanish capital has played throughout the years in NASA's Space Program?
Carlos González, the artistic curator of the Exhibition and former deputy director of the Madrid Deep Space Communications Complex, in Robledo de Chavela – one of only three NASA centers around the world to communicate with flights on missions in space – explains: "NASA has a close relationship with Madrid. It was at Robledo de Chavela that we received the first photograph of Mars taken by the Mariner space probe, and we also relayed messages from Apollo 11 when it landed on the moon."
In fact, in the words of Neil Armstrong, "Without the vital communications between the Apollo 11 and the Madrid station in Robledo de Chavela, our moon landing would not have been possible."
And while it was Robledo de Chavela that maintained contact with the command module, it was the Fresnedillas de la Oliva space station, also in Madrid – and where dozens of Spanish and American experts worked together four decades ago to ensure the moon landing was a success – which covered Apollo 11's historic lunar landing.
Since the Mila and Bermuda space stations were both temporarily out of action, it was the Madrid facility which was key to determining the precise orbital parameters for the first manned flight of NASA's Space Shuttle Program when Columbia was launched on 12 April 1981 and returned to Earth 54.5 hours later after having orbited the planet 37 times. Over the years, the Spanish capital's space station has collaborated with most other international space agencies and the Robledo de Chavela base is still supporting scientific projects and will continue to do so in the future.
Yet more of the Spanish capital's links with 'the final frontier' include the fact that Spain's first astronaut, Pedro Duque – a member of the European Space Agency – was born in Madrid, as was Miguel López-Alegría who, after becoming an American citizen, joined the NASA team.
Actually, all things considered, it seems to me that the city's famous 'From Madrid to the heavens' slogan – which in Spanish translates as 'De Madrid al cielo' – is much more than pure coincidence.
NASA: The Adventure of Space Exhibition is at Pavilion 12 of the Recinto Ferial de Campos, Avda. de Portugal, Madrid.
Open daily from 10am to 8pm until 15 June 2012 – but best to check in advance as it will be closed on public and local holidays.

Sex in Bancroft Hall and an unsubstantiated charge of rape embroils a Navy football star and the Naval Academy hierarchy in a courtroom ordeal that satisfies no one—and underscores the difficulties the military still faces in dealing with sexual misconduct cases.
Don Guter, who served as Judge Advocate General of the Navy from 2000 to 2002, said acquaintance rape cases in the post-Tailhook era pose special challenges to convening authorities throughout the Navy.

In my building, there are ceiling and wall fixtures that use fluorescent bulbs. The cover of them is just a sheet of glass and there is a large square in the middle that is painted white. My question is, does the painted side go toward the bulbs or is the painted side supposed to be pointed toward the outside, away from the bulbs?
I have seen a coat of semi-translucent paint on the inside of a fixture before. My understanding was that the paint was to help dim the direct brightness of the bulb by making the cover more opaque. The paint was put on the inside to help prevent it being worn away, which is how I would place the glass. I've seen the paint chipped off the glass before, and putting it towards the bulb may help prevent this. (plus its easier to clean and looks better?)
I have never seen "inward" paint on a fixture before, flat cover or otherwise. This is interesting. I do think you should flip one around and observe the difference. Just thinking from a physical viewpoint, I would imagine it would create a very slight difference (inward being duller) in the ambiance of the light...though I doubt the "central" block of the light would change much other than the universal dullness achieved by the inward facing paint. Of course none of this takes into account the type/transparency of the paint, glass, fixture, etc. Interesting nonetheless.
