A classic South African comedy in which a young Jamie Uys plays producer, writer, director and star, and his wife Hettie Uys the romantic interest. Somewhere in the bushveld, Hans Botha is doing the usual farm rounds when his friend and neighbour comes around with an urgent request: please collect the new teacher at the bus stop.
The shy Hans is alarmed, saying he does not know how to talk to women. Prevailed on nevertheless, Hans sets off in his old jalopy, which for good measure has no brakes. He eventually arrives at the bus stop, where the teacher, Martie, is waiting patiently. She is pretty and young and the already flustered Hans proceeds to flatten her hatbox, allow the car to run off with her, and dump her in the river. By the time Hans says goodbye, Martie is angry and he is in love.

Award: 1972: Teheran Film Festival: Lost In The Desert (Dirkie)
BEHIND THE SCENES…In some way or another each one of Uys' Mimosa pictures provided the spark for the next one. The film-maker was flying to Namibia to promote "Die Professor en die Prikkelpop" (1967) when he became completely hypnotized by the sprawling red dunes of the desert. As a seasoned cinematic storyteller he realized that, in spite of its majesty, images of dunes will only mesmerize audiences for a few moments. He had read of a plane crash in which only a small child survived. Uys' script told of a sickly boy (Wynand Uys) that is sent by his pianist father (Jamie Uys) to a dryer climate. The plane carrying the boy crashes; he is lost in the Namib Desert together with his dog. The father frantically searches for him… Initially entitled "The Fallen Sparrow", Uys later decided on "Dirkie" (the English version was released as "Lost In The Desert" or "Adventures In The Red Desert"). Dirkie's story might have been a simple premise but the production was a grueling epic. Most directors that have filmed in the Namib usually did not venture away from the beaten track but said Uys, "We are going to film at even the most inaccessible places." Uys and Mimosa negotiated permission to film at places that are legally off-limits to the public; including parts of Namibia's confined diamond zone. Uys travelled thousands of miles across Namibia, first by car and then plane, location-scouting. Then the cinematic endurance race started. Actual filming stretched from the Kalahari Gemsbok Park to Etosha to Windhoek to Walvis Bay, Rhehoboth and the restricted diamond zone. The Uys-team would drive 11 000 kilometres through the wilderness to make the picture. Challenges abounded: The R250 000 budget didn't allow for a glamorous safari – it was boendoe bashing all the way. They would camp far away from civilization (and sometimes water) which made planning for the production an intricate operation. Once a week a plane brought provisions from Windhoek, otherwise the film-makers were on their own. The small crew, 11 whites and 5 blacks, had to obey food and water rations. Temperatures were extreme: The nights icy; the days hellish. Only a small window of time existed for optimum filming. Tents, equipment, notes and supplies were constantly blown away by desert winds. They tented in the Namib wilderness amidst roaming beasts. Animals used in the film, ranging from a leopard to a hyena to a baboon to snakes and scorpions, an Alsatian and Dirkie's pet Cairn terrier had to be tended to as well. These animals were tamed but not trained which complicated the film making. Furthermore Jamie Uys suffered from a unique medical condition. The intense heat made his lips burst into a (painful) bloody mush. When Uys (lead actor / scriptwriter / director / principal cameraman) became incapacitated the production stopped, sending costs soaring. Dawid, a local Toppenaar, played a Khoi San without ever having seen a movie, which complicated the production even further. Uys needed an indigenous child to play a part in the movie. Remembering an old legend, the secluded local tribes were convinced "the white one" wanted to buy their kids as slaves. After gentle negotiations (as well as a change of filming-location) the director acquired his actress. However, the two most treacherous challenges facing Uys were dunes and sand. "At night he has nightmares about those footprints," a concerned Hettie Uys, Jamie's wife, mentioned. The red dunes (the film's muse) were nightmarish. The boy was supposedly alone in the desert. When a dune shot (towering things in the Namib) demanded a retake a different virgin dune without inerasable footprints had to be found. Secondly the fine desert sand got into the cameras. It took only a few sand particles to obliterate the delicate film. Uys could not evaluate the filmed material in the desert. The film was flown from Namibia to London where it was developed by Eastman / Technicolor. Only back in Johannesburg could he see the material (making editing a nightmare.) If it was damaged or Uys was unhappy with a scene, the whole production team had to trek back and reshoot; prolonging production and wrecking the budget. At long last – and after a lot of public anticipation and speculation – "Dirkie (Lost In The Desert)" was released in 1969. It was more than just successful: It set South African box office records. The 13 prints Mimosa Films had made were not nearly enough which meant Mimosa officials had to travel across the country to deliver copies. Boet Troskie and Mimosa Films brokered a masterful deal for Dirkie's international distribution with the Columbia Pictures Corporation that screened it almost worldwide with tremendous success, putting Uys squarely on the international studios' radar.
During the 1960s the Afrikaans radio service of the South African Broadcasting Corporation presented a series on the adventures of a super secret agent, Staal Burger, a character created by the well-known SABC broadcaster Fanus Rautenbach. "STAAL BURGER" had an enormous following among listeners – the rich playboy with an eye for a pretty girl, his fast cars and his straight-punching way with the bad guys! Daan Retief, who played the role of Staal Burger in the radio series, reprises his role for the movie. He is assisted by Staal's sidekicks, Willem (Sarel Breed) and Dada (Miems de Bruyn).
BREEKPUNT (Breakpoint) is set against the arid landscapes of the Northwestern Cape and Southern Namibia. The story revolves around an eternal love triangle. On her wedding day, Marie (Tani de Lange) is kidnapped by her manically jealous former fiancé (Cobus Rossouw). He threatens to shoot her and himself should she try to escape. Her current fiancé (Dawid Swart) realises that she has been kidnapped and sets out to rescue her. Tani de Lange has been nominated for the "Gert van den Bergh" Award for her portrayal of Marie.
CONSTANTIA FILMS' SALOMIEN was produced by Bill Troskie in 1972, with Daan Retief as director. The film is based on Elsabe Steenberg's original story "Rondomtalie" (Roundabout), which was published in the magazine "Sarie Marais". Elsabe also wrote the film script. Salomien (played by Petru Wessels) is sent to prison for murdering her husband, Ernst (Don Lamprecht). She is suffering from amnesia, but the prison's chaplain (Cobus Rossouw) believes she will be able to remember by writing down her fragmented memories. This the story of her husband's murder unfolds.
The best of the best! Daan Retief was commissioned by Boet Troskie to commemorate Jamie Uys' twenty one years in the film industry. The tribute-compilation contains twenty five fragments from Uys films up till that point. From Daar Doer in die Bosveld to Lord Uncle Piet to Dingaka to Dirkie….
Jamie Uys spent over a year in the Kalahari Desert making this film, emerging eventually with enough footage for at least five full length motion pictures. "Beautiful People" is a wild life adventure story depicting life in the animal community and was filmed against the scenic beauty of Southern Africa including the Kalahari, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Botswana. Special permits were obtained from the various authorities to film in the restricted areas. The Story unfolds in the Namib desert, that vast barren waste-land where only tiny prints in the sand tell a story of a life that exists – where little creatures, from insects to reptiles, reign. A story of survival of the fittest.

BEHIND THE SCENES…After the overseas breakthrough with Dirkie, Hollywood wanted another Uys-picture. While filming Dirkie in Namibia, Uys was mesmerized by the desert's fauna and flora. He was to make a full-length feature film about it: No humans. No dialogue. But a cast of thousands. Although styled like a nature documentary, Beautiful People was an epic feature. Uys revealed Southern Africa's fauna and flora as a lush-dried paradise. He was to capture a rainbow of trees, plants, flowers and seeds to birds to fish and insects and reptiles as well as herbivores and carnivores plus his beloved desert in an unimaginable way. Beautiful People showed how the wild kingdom and the human world mirrored each other. Part comedy, part drama, part adventure, part tragedy, part romance, part action, part educational – the picture, essentially, was a combination of all genres. The most grueling production of his career of almost 50 years, Beautiful People was beset with practical impossibilities. The regions Uys wanted to explore cinematically morphed with the slightest change in the weather – never mind seasons. Nature cannot be hurried; the film-maker simply had to wait, film and wait again. The wild is wild: a missed shot was lost forever. Furthermore he wanted to capture Southern Africa's natural world almost in its entirety, a rather far-fetched ambition for a man who preferred to work alone. As chief cinematographer, he travelled about 200 000km through the Kalahari, Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe in over three years. "In spite of the heat, rain, tsetse flies and humidity it was fun for the most of the time," said Uys. "Each change in the weather brought out different animals for me to look at, study and film." In the end he had an astounding 804 672 metres of film – he was personally going to edit it to 3 000m. Working non-stop for 18 months, Uys, jetting between his Johannesburg studios and California, edited the labyrinth of film; his overzealousness resulting in cardiac arrest. Rina Venter, from Mimosa Films, said: "He's overextended and moreover he's doing everything himself." Dr Boet Troskie, backed by Hollywood, managed a million dollar production (South Africa's first) which was quickly depleted by a drawn-out production. The Americans demanded a film or the money. With the one-man movie-maestro in intensive care, the picture had the potential to kill Uys and massacre Mimosa Films. Dr Troskie persevered and Uys made a miraculously quick recovery. Uys again tackled the picture. The film was presented to experts to explain the animals' behaviour and if "they could not tell me I would work it out for myself". Next Uys had to write an absorbing commentary with which to tie-up some 40 sequences. Four years in the making, the feature's success (locally and internationally) was – to say the least – unprecedented. Beautiful People wasn't merely a huge success: By 1975 more than 3 000 000 had seen the picture – more than the country's entire white population. Locally the picture made more than R3 000 000. At just one South African bioscope it sold more tickets than an average Afrikaans movie grosses nationally. In November 1974, Variety, Hollywood's daily gospel, stated: "Beautiful People is an extraordinary African nature documentary, one of the finest examples of its kind and told with a singleness of purpose…" When just released in the USA, its popularity was fantastic: Within three weeks it made $525 000 in Los Angeles and $450 000 in Dallas. In Hong Kong the film (permanently sold out) caused havoc. Large crowds waited (im)patiently for hours to get tickets. In Bangkok – in 48 hours – it had set an attendance record. It made more than (US) $965 000 at three Tokyo theatres within 84 days; within 33 days Hong Kong's seven bioscopes sold tickets worth (USA) $618 905 – eventually making twice as much as the legendary Star Wars. Across South America the movie was thrashing records. By 1980 the film had earned some (US) $15 000 000. In the same year Boet Troskie sold the television rights to the giant American network NBC: 20 000 000 Americans watched it in one broadcast. In 2009 the film, bought by Warner Bros., is still shown on television worldwide. Awards proliferated – including America's coveted Golden Globe for best documentary.
SOEKIE is based on Santie Grosskopf's popular story "Die hele dorp weet" (The entire town knows), which was first filmed by CARFO in 1961. It is a family drama which focuses on the destructive effect of an impending divorce on family life. Erna van den Bergh is Soekie, with Petru Wessels as her mother and Dawid van der Walt as her father. Tani de Lange and Danie Smuts play supporting roles. SOEKIE is a family story full of drama and sadness, but with a happy ending.
CONSTANTIA FILMS' DIE REBEL (The Rebel) was produced by Bill Troskie in 1976, with Daan Retief as director and scriptwriter. DIE REBEL is the film adaptation of Cor Nortjé's thriller "Sending vir 'n voortvlugtige" (Mission for a fugitive), which was broadcasted twice by the South African Broadcasting Corporation. The rebel Fritz Dercksen (Will Roberts) is an unconventional character. When he is drafted into military service his attitude changes and he becomes a hero. The Army recognises his many talents and he is trained to gather military intelligence. However, due to circumstances beyond his control he is dishonourably discharged and sent to prison. There, Colonel Dreyer (Jan Bruijns) forces him to choose: he either accepts his mission or he stays in prison.
The first of many Candid Camera type comedies made in South Africa."Funny People" is packed with scenes which will make you double up with laughter! What would you do if you were walking along the street and a cute little lady rushed up to you and gave you a smashing kiss, as if you'd known each other for years?

Then there is the case of the bank note sticking out from under the wheel of a car. People will always be human and no-one will walk past without trying to pull it out, even if the mudguard comes off or the hooter suddenly starts blowing.
BEHIND THE SCENES…"Actually I had my crew just film a couple of comical shots to keep them busy after we had completed Beautiful People, " explained Uys. "When I saw the result, we just left everything and started to work on what would later become Funny People." Uys first saw hidden camera-comedies, showing ordinary citizens' reactions to extraordinary situations, as a schoolboy and loved the idea. "It's fascinating to see how people reveal their personalities in moments of stress," said Uys. He experimented with the concept while making the 1969 short film "Marching To Pretoria". Dr Troskie flew to New York to meet with Allan Funt, legendary creator of Candid Camera, to negotiate permission to use the premise. The Uys-team compiled a list of almost a hundred sequences from which they chose about 50 to stage. The scenarios had to be planned with precision – catching humorous reactions meant precise timing; camouflaging the cameras and microphones were also tricky. Filming across the country took 18 months. They snared hundreds of South Africans of all ages and races. Uys then sat with five hours of usable material which had to be edited into a 90 minute picture, taking him six months. Funny People (1976) was to better the record-breaking Beautiful People's historic records. Public anticipation for South Africa's first hidden camera-film was ablaze. Nationwide theatres were sold out for days – even before its release. In some cities all sessions were sold out weeks in advance. In its first week alone, grossing about R250 000! No other film had ever achieved that. The spur-of-the-moment comedy provoked such a national circus of popularity that Boet Troskie decided to take it to the Cannes Film Festival (the global cinema industry's most important trade fair). He successfully sold the film for distribution in most countries worldwide. They bought the movie without having seen it – the name Jamie Uys clinched the deal. After engulfing South Africa, once more depleting the State's film subsidy scheme, Uys' People annexed box offices across the world raking in millions for years. While selling Funny People at Cannes, Boet Troskie was besieged by interest in Uys. Some of the world's largest film-financiers demanded the right to bankroll his next three productions!

The CONSTANTIA FILMS movie "BELOFTES VAN MÔRE" (Tomorrow's promises) was produced by Bill Troskie in 1981, with Daan Retief as director and scriptwriter. "BELOFTES VAN MÔRE" is based on a story by Empie Maritz and takes place in a hospital. For years, Nursing Inspector Ella Rossouw (Magda Beukes) carried a grudge against Matron Ria Vermeulen, whose two daughters, Heleen (Elzette Maarschalk) and Christa (Elize Lizamore), are employed as nurses at the same hospital.

The Riverman tells the powerful and captivating story of the one man's obsession to exploit an uranium-rich stretch of African land to bolster company profits as well as for his own benefit, as opposed to another's genuine concern for ecological conservation. Caught in the middle of this struggle is a beautiful woman who eventually is virtually torn apart by her feelings for the one and her moral obligation to the other. This invariably leads to a fascinating love triangle and an explosive final confrontation!
The most hilarious "happening" to hit the South African cinema screen is about to be released … The ever watchful eye of Jamie Uys is twinkling again … and if you thought "FUNNY PEOPLE" was comedy at its best, wait until you see "FUNNY PEOPLE 2"!

"FUNNY PEOPLE 2" will make you roar with laughter!
Ivan Hall's action-filled tale of three adventurers who are caught up in a tropical wilderness amidst a civil war. The three – a scientist Dr Paul Flemming, the no-nonsense Janet Henderson and master conman Sammy Samson – cannot stand one another but circumstances force them to work together for their own survival. After many adventurous twists and unsuspecting turns Janet ends up with a microdot – for the launch of a nuclear cruise missile... The three unlikely heroes must now fight against time and a dangerous army to stop a nuclear holocaust!
The gods must be crazy at times, but they also have a sense of humour. Why else would they have allowed man to get so caught up in this technological achievements that he forgets how to survive in Nature? Xixo, the bushman, (played by Xao), has already come through one encounter with black and white people – the "heavies" – out beyond the edges of the magnificent Kalahari. This time, a game ranger, a New York lady lawyer, a Cuban and a Unita soldier, and two ivory poachers, get their tracks well and truly crossed in the heart of Xixo's country, generating more laughs than a whole pack of hyenas!

Acceptance Letter??
0 My friend and I who live in the same small town both applied to the Spring 2014 RN program at a nearby community college - we both did awesome on the TEASV and have good GPAs. She got her letter of acceptance into the program yesterday and I still haven't received ANYTHING! I'm going a little nuts.
Does anyone know anything about the acceptance letter process or why one person might get theirs before another person? Or should I just expect a rejection letter instead?
I have a Plan B for if I didn't get in this time around, so I'll be fine. The not knowing is what's killing me!0Oct 18, '13 by Guy in Babyland, BSN, RN ProCould be a number of reasons. They are sending out the letters alphabetically or random and hers was closer to the top than yours, hers could have been mailed out one day and yours the next day, they were mailed out at the same time and somehow yours took a different path. If you haven't gotten it in a week then call the school.
We were sent an email from the college of nursing first with all things that needed done before start of school, then a letter in the mail later in the week.0Oct 18, '13 by doublehighcmanWhat school?0Oct 19, '13 by Nurse2Bstacy123My school sent out emails (first time they've done it this way) only to acceptance and then hard copy letters came in about 3-4 days later to everyone (acceptance, waitlist & rejection). Hang in there and STALK THE POSTMAN lol3Oct 21, '13 by lisa618I GOT IN!!! My acceptance letter was lost in the mail, and they called me today to ask if I had gotten it. PHEW! I'm in!0Oct 21, '13 by Nurse2Bstacy123what school?1I GOT in!!! I got innnnnnnnnnn!!! Praise be to God, I received an acceptance e-mail. So happy/grateful/thankful...all the best to you guys.0Oct 22, '13 by 7237dallasYay!!! Congratulations I can't wait to feel that feeling!!0Quote from 7237dallasIt's the best ever...got it while in the street walking home, nearly fainted. I cried, ppl may have thought I was a wacka-doo.

Boundary-layer development at a two-dimensional rear stagnation point
This paper examines the nature of the development of two-dimensional laminar flow of an incompressible fluid at the rear stagnation point on a cylinder which is started impulsively from rest. Proudman & Johnson (1962) first examined this type of flow, andobtainedasimilarity solution of the inviscid form of the equations of motion. This solution describes the nature of the flow at large distances from the surface, for large times after the start of the motion. Here, the flow at the rear stagnation point is examined in greater detail. The solution found by Proudman & Johnson constitutes the leading term in an asymptotic expansion, valid for large times. Further terms in this expansion are now calculated, and the method of matched asymptotic expansions is used to obtain an inner solution describing the flow near the surface. A numerical integration of the full initial-value problem gives good agreement with the analytical solution.(Published Online March 29 2006)

Thx for great plug-in, one of a few that actually do the job.
Is it possible/hard for this plug-in to work with other post types than 'post' or 'page'. I'm using the events calendar plug-in which registers new post types but for them the Contributron-2000 doesn't work. The post type I would like to add to types supported by plug-in is 'tribe_events'. (It is no different from a regular post, it just adds some fields needed to create event).

How do I warrant these remarks? I will break it down by a few things. Simply we will start by the quality of their customer service. The actual staff truly isn't that bad however, I'm not sure if it's policy but they really do not allow for much leeway on helping with customer issues. I have had my cable box replace nearly four times, with no merit or explanation as to why other than "Sometimes our equipment may be faulty"
Second, as a work at home employment, I have had the obligation of working in a Comcast and a Cox region previously and they worked great to setting up a separate line for work. When I recently moved to this Cablevision region I was stunned to realize that Cablevision is the only cable provider in the state of Connecticut that is not contracted with my company to provide internet service. Why do you ask? Because Cablevision will not setup a second line in your home when you already have an existing line. Silly. That seems just silly to me.
Lastly, and most importantly, COST! Cablevision is by far the most expensive cable provider I have tested and used in the state of Connecticut thus far. I have yet to find any cable provider that does not provide on demand services free when you purchase premium stations (Cablevision doesn't). Their packages are very limited (when you are outside their triple play programs). Everything is a la carte, which is similar to most providers but cost wise I am paying more through this provider than I have ever paid through anyone else. I actually recieve less stations through cablevision than anyone else because it's affordable for me to do so.

I don't have a special end-of-the-year blog where I reflect on my favorite games since I don't keep up with new releases. I do however take advantage of sales, bargain bin deals and price drops for older games. Amazon.com has served me well.
They've had me by the balls since 2006 and I'd like to share that pleasure with the rest of you. It's free shipping for orders over $25 from Amazon-fulfilled sellers. Amazon Prime members can bypass the minimum price altogether. These are my recommendations for really fun and unique games at a low price.
Name of Game (Platform) = $ Lowest Average Selling Price $
999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (DS) = $20
Damn good story. You don't have to like visual novels to enjoy it. Mass Effect, BioShock and Braid are usually namedropped when discussing narrative in games. 999 deserves a nod too.
Alan Wake (360) = $20
Horror gaming isn't exactly on fire right now, but Alan Wake is a nice alternative to all the horror-turned-action series out there. There's action, but half of Shanghai isn't being blown to pieces.
Aliens: Infestation (DS) = $12
It's really short but you'll be treated to a quality Metroidvania game with a unique take on death.
Alpha Protocol (PS3/360) = $11
It's Mass Effect but with spies and espionage. It's not as good as its inspiration but it's a welcome change of setting.
Bit.Trip Complete (Wii) = $18, Bit.Trip Saga (3DS) = $16
Six amazing games with wonderfully different gameplay styles, eye-popping (seizure-inducing?) graphics, and fantastic music in addition to high difficulty. The Wii version includes a soundtrack disc along with dozens of extra challenges for each game. The 3DS version lets you enjoy this compilation on the go.
Bulletstorm (PS3/360) = $20
Remember when FPS games weren't so damn serious? Here's an arcade-style shooter with a sailor's mouth.
Catherine (PS3/360) = $20
Warning: the gameplay has almost nothing to do with the story. If you're here for the story, put the puzzles on the easiest difficulty and enjoy a unique exploration of love and relationships. If you don't mind a challenging puzzle game mixed in with your drama, it delivers in that department too. Commitment, infidelity, regret, love, and sex are the big ideas here and I don't see many other games talking about this stuff.
Contra 4 (DS) = $20
This game cemented WayForward as elite 2D developers (for those that don't remember Shantae). Contra 4 is the sequel the series deserved after The Alien Wars. Genuinely challenging. Throw in the NES versions of Contra and Super C for good measure.
Demon's Souls (PS3), Dark Souls (PS3/360) = $20 each
Overrated? I don't think so. They're two of the few tough games with a bigger budget these days. If you're afraid of a challenge, perhaps the price will ease the ass whooping that waits.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution (PS3/360) = $20
What's that? You can't afford Dishonored? Pick up Human Revolution and enjoy some free-flowing stealth-action while you wait for Arkane Studios' breakout hit to drop in price.
Dragon Quest IX & Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (DS) = $16 each
DQ9 will last you forever. Like, Elder Scrolls forever. DQ6 is a straight up throwback JRPG to the 16-bit glory days. Both are well worth the price of a movie ticket and popcorn.
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron (PS3/360) = $20
It has a beautiful art style with a decent combat system and a surreal interpretation of Judeo-Christian mythology. Takeyasu Sawaki worked on character designs for Okami before heading up El Shaddai and the results speak for themselves.
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (PS3/360) = $12-17
Ninja Theory gets a lot of flak for not focusing enough effort on their gameplay systems. Enslaved doesn't change that opinion but it is a fun action-adventure with solid combat, thrilling (if linear) platforming, and a colorful interpretation of the post-apocalypse.
Fortune Street (Wii) = $14
It's like Monopoly with Mario and Dragon Quest characters. Grab some friends to get the most out of it.
Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon (Wii) = $20
Quiet and contemplative. It's definitely a different experience. It's a good change of pace from the usual loud noises and explosions of today's set piece-dominated games.
Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (DS) = $11
Does it come close to the Game Boy Advance games? No. Is it a good RPG nonetheless? Yes.
Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer (PS3) = $20
Is it a game or an interactive movie? For $20, who cares? It's not the answer to storytelling in games but it is one hell of a stab at finding one.
ICO & Shadow of the Colossus (PS3) = $20
Games as art, masterpieces of storytelling, blah blah blah. I don't care for either game as an artistic statement, but as games, they're really good. ICO is a quality adventure with some tough puzzles. Shadow of the Colossus has16 really well-designed boss battles that would make Gunstar Heroes blush. Both have an awesome 'desolate world' vibe.
Kirby Mass Attack (DS) = $13
Buy this game. I'm very biased but it's one of the few games I've 100% completed and I'm not that type of player. The only caveat would be the repetitive nature of the controls (tap, tap, swipe, tap, tap real fast). But if you can overlook the stylus-heavy gameplay like most people did for the Zelda games, Mass Attack is a joy.
Kirby's Epic Yarn (Wii) = $17
If you want to see what is possible with graphics in a non-realistic way, Epic Yarn is the blueprint. This Wii game does more impressive things visually than most of its HD brethren.
L.A. Noire (PS3/360) = $20
HD Ace Attorney set in 1940s Los Angeles. How's that for a pitch?
The Last Story (Wii) = $30
Okay, so it's the most expensive game on this list but it's guaranteed to be out of print in the next few months. XSEED already dropped the price by $20 so anyone looking to play a good JRPG that bucks genre conventions would do well to pick this up while they still can.
The Legendary Starfy (DS) = $11
You play as a starfish. What more do you want? Starfy is the most sickeningly-cute character Nintendo owns aside from Kirby.
Madworld (Wii) = $7-9
Madworld has been at this price for years. It's a damn fun beat 'em up in the truest sense of the word. No puzzles. No exploration. We're talking Double Dragon-type 'ish. AND your Wiimote becomes a chainsaw, sound effects and all. It's a bloody good time.
Mega Man Zero Collection (DS) = $25
Amazing value. It features all four GBA Mega Man Zero games with an easy mode for those who just want to blow through the series. But who would want to play Mega Man like that?
Metroid: Other M (Wii) = $12
For $12, it's easy enough to recommend so you can see what all the fuss is about.
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle (Wii) = $12
Great beat 'em up oozing with style.
Picross 3D (DS) = $11
It's the perfect portable game at an irresistible price.
Rayman Origins (PS3/360/Wii/3DS/Vita) = $20, $26 on Vita
Gorgeous graphics. Fun co-op. Solid platforming. When you're tired of New Super Mario Whatever, hit this game up.
Resident Evil: Revelations (3DS) = $20
This game should be called Resident Evil 6.
Rhythm Heaven (DS), Rhythm Heaven Fever (Wii) = $14 each
This series is impossibly weird. And tough. This is rhythm gaming at its finest without relying on licensed music or real-world references such as dancing, karaoke or guitars.
Shadows of the Damned (PS3/360) = $20
It's as if Shinji Mikami just wants to keep making Resident Evil 4. This is RE4 but with Suda 51's fingerprints all over it. It's a short but memorable romp through hell.
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable (PSP) = $20
Buy it. Yes, it's my favorite game ever (besides Resident Evil 4) but it's also a big middle finger to anyone who says Japanese development is failing. This was originally a 2007 PlayStation 2 game and it craps all over most games released this generation. Unless you can't stand J-Pop/Tech and high school student protagonists, play this game.
Sin & Punishment: Star Successor (Wii) = $11
If Dark Souls is too steep of a price for a hard game, try this raucous on-rails shooter that puts the Wii pointer controls to good use while laying the smackdown on lesser players.
Super Scribblenauts (DS) = $17
Skip the first one. And the new Scribblenauts Unlimited is at full price right now. So that leaves this awesome little puzzler. It's everything the first game should have been (fixed controls, expanded word creation, better physics) and it's the perfect place to jump into the series.
Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together (PSP) = $20
Final Fantasy Tactics gets too much love. Tactics Ogre doesn't get enough. This is Yasumi Matsuno's real Tactical RPG masterpiece. It's the definitive version too.
Valkyria Chronicles (PS3) = $20, Valkyria Chronicles II (PSP) = $25
It has a wonderful watercolor art style with some progressive strategy RPG mechanics.
Vanquish (PS3/360) = $20
It's Gears of War but fast. Really fast. And with big hulking robots instead of big hulking aliens. And it's not brown.
WarioWare D.I.Y. (DS) = $10
Be a game designer for ten bucks.
The World Ends With You (DS) = $20
People, please buy this game. It's the most creative game to come out of Square-Enix in the past decade. And it's really good. Don't let the Final Fantasy Factory treat it like Psychonauts or Beyond Good & Evil. It deserves better.
Closing Thoughts
The other reason behind this list is my disdain with the current gaming landscape. Game budgets are skyrocketing, mid-level publishing will be extinct once THQ disappears, and a serious dearth of creativity has poisoned AAA development. Okay, so I'm being melodramatic but most of the games on this list have been overlooked one way or another. For anyone complaining about the lack of innovation, these games are evidence against that.
Are they 'perfect?' No. Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Halo, Madden and their ilk have had years of iteration to polish their proven formulas. Most of my recommendations don't have anywhere near the same budgets as their blockbuster cousins, but they have bigger hearts. None of them were designed-by-committee and it shows. They have soul, feeling, or whatever else you want to call it.
These aren't indie games as they're all retail products. Most of them aren't trying to make greater statements about anything but they are fun. All of them prove the value of mid-level game development and they all deserve more than revered cult status. Do yourself a favor and see where the really interesting games were hiding these past few years. Your wallet won't cry either.
Happy 2012, y'all.
As always, thanks for reading! Until next year!

I love baseball. The Toronto Blue Jays are my team, and good or bad, I have loved them since I was a kid. Anyone who knows me knows this about me.
I have been fortunate enough to attended several games over the years. The very first game was in June 1990 when I was twelve years old. It was the end of the year trip for my grade 7 class, and it may be the very day I fell in love with baseball.
I can't remember who the Blue Jays were playing, and I don't know the exact day we went. I can't recall what players were on the field. I'm not even sure I can remember the friends I was there with. What I do remember from though, is how incredible it felt to be in the middle of ballpark. The energy was like nothing I experienced before. I was hooked.
Fast forward to present day…
Yesterday I attended the Canada Day Blue Jays game with my boys. It was our third game of the season, and I splurged and bought us seats along the 3rd base line. It was such a great experience. The game was incredible and the patriotic energy was out of this world. The crowd singing O Canada in the top of the ninth as the Jays closed in on the win was a highlight for sure.
The boys came home with a couple of player autographs and a batting practice ball as well. They talked to other fans around us, and shared high fives and fist bumps every time the Blue Jays hit one of their 5 home runs. And they were part of a wave that made it around the sold out ballpark more than two times.
The SkyDome (aka Rogers Centre) was alive yesterday. The energy of the crowd brought me back to that day twenty-five years ago. The day that a twelve year old girl fell in love with baseball.

text: The The Superman Family wiki last edited by Darkside_of_the_Sun on 10/21/14 03:43PM View full history The Superman Family was a DC Comics comic book series which ran from 1974 to 1982 featuring primarily stories starring the supporting characters in the Superman comics. The term is often used to refer to the extended cast of characters (especially super-powered ones) of comics books associated with Superman.The title was an amalgamation of the titles Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane and Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen and the first series of Supergirl, therefore immediately becoming DC's flagship title with the highest sales for the remainder. The first issue, #164, took its numbering from the Jimmy Olsen title, which had reached issue #163 and thus had the most issues published (the Lois Lane series ended at issue #137, while the newly-launched Supergirl volume 1 series had only made it to #10). The three leads rotated new stories in each issue with reprints as a backup feature for other the characters (Issues #164-181). The Superman Family started as a 100-page format from issues #164-169. The quantity of pages dropped to 64-pages with issue #170 and dropped to 48-pages with issue #178. In 1976 (#182), The Superman Family became the first DC Comics to feature the 80-page Dollar Comics format. The new 80-page format featured all new stories for all the characters. Later the page quantity dropped to 64-pages starting with issue #191 and finally to 48-pages starting with issue #205. The series briefly featured a "no ads" and a wraparound cover format from issues #191-196. The series was published on a bi-monthly schedule until 1981, when the series was published on a monthly schedule starting with issue #207.Other featured series in addition to:* Lois Lane (166,169,172,175,178,181-222)* Supergirl (165,168,171,174,177,180,182-222)* Jimmy Olsen (164,167,170,173,176,179,182-222)* "Superboy" (182,191-198) — The adventures of the Earth-One Superman as a teenage super-hero. This series continued from Adventure Comics #458 and led to the feature leaving the title for its own in 1980, The New Adventures of Superboy.* "The Private Life of Clark Kent" (195-197, 199-215) — The adventures of Clark Kent in which he used his powers and skills without becoming Superman. This feature had moved over from Superman after #328.* "Mr. and Mrs. Superman" (195-196, 198-222) — The adventures of the Earth-Two Superman and his wife, Lois. This feature had moved from Superman after #329. #200 of this series also had a story that dealt with a married Lois and Clark, but as part of an issue-long Imaginary Story set on Earth-1 at the turn of the millennium.* "Krypto" (182-192) — The adventures of Superman's dog.* " Nightwing and Flamebird" (182-194) — The adventures of the second Nightwing and Flamebird team of heroes (Van-Zee and Ak-Var) in the Bottled City of Kandor.* "The Misadventures of Superbaby" (216) — A one-shot story featuring Superbaby.DC published several other "Family" titles concurrent with The Superman Family: Batman Family (1975-78), Super-Team Family (1975-1978) and Tarzan Family (1975-76). As a rule, DC's "Family" titles contained mostly reprints, and featured a higher page count (and higher price) than DC's normal books. (In 2004, Marvel Comics paid homage to DC's "Family" titles with Spider-Man Family.)In 1982, with issue #222, The Superman Family series was cancelled to make room for the Daring New Adventures of Supergirl, which briefly featured a Lois Lane back-up series. The Doom Patrol appeared alongside Supergirl in issues of both series.

I tried to find some help on the same issue over the net, but wasn't able to resolve the problem.
What I want to do is pretty simple. In my wordpress comments.php file I want to have a different color for odd or even messages and have still another color for my personal comments.
I tried nearly everything I could try on the net, toying with .odd and .even classes, but I think there is something really wrong with my code. If anyone could tell me what is wrong and how to make it work, I would greatly appreciate!
