A teaser website for Compile Heart's Monster Monpiece has hinted it will be the first ecchi Vita title.
Hahaha, oh boy... That shouldn't be something to gloat about...
I'm amazed it took so long for a company to do this and I'm actually very intrigued by it. Compile Heart is known for making games with a decent amount of fan service and from the looks of this teaser website, it is going to be packed full of it. I'm curious if this will have a chance of making it stateside with how Aksys and NIS America love Compile Heart's stuff.
Ok boys, lets go. We know no one is going to localize it so lets start getting a fan translation! On the double! Get a kickstarter! Get a petition! Sound the alarms! Send a bill to congress! We nee this title!
Another cute Vita title :3
P.S. Haters of games with busty girls are very funny.

Report of hit list probed in Taft school shooting
16-year-boy held in classroom shooting
California authorities are investigating allegations that a 16-year-old boy held in a classroom shooting that wounded a classmate had been suspended from school last year for having a hit list.
Kern County Sheriff's Department spokesman Ray Pruitt says the reports of the hit list are being looked into as part of the investigation into Thursday's shooting at Taft Union High School in the city of Taft.
Almost immediately after the shooting, other students began giving accounts about the suspect having drawn up a list at some point.
The sheriff's spokesman says the teen was booked into juvenile hall for investigation of two counts of attempted murder and one count of assault with a deadly weapon. Investigators plan to submit their case to the district attorney's office on Monday.

Pierre-Paul prepares for Giants' opener
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is a step closer to being back in the New York Giants' lineup.
The fourth-year defensive end was taken off the physically unable to perform list on Monday and returned to the practice less than two weeks before the season opener at Dallas.
It's uncertain whether Pierre-Paul, who had disk surgery on his back in June, will be ready for the opener.
"I'm not playing any preseason games and I don't even know about the Dallas game," Pierre-Paul said. "I just want try to get better and test it out and see how it is taking on double teams and all that. Right now, there's nothing to be said about whether I'm going to play come the opener."
Having him back a few days before Thursday's preseason finale at New England was welcome news.
"He is our best defensive playmaker, hands down," safety Antrel Rolle said. "I think he shows it week in and week out. With him having the surgery and trying to get back into tip-top shape and tip-top form, hopefully, we'll see a performance that he has never shown us. We are looking for miraculous things out of JPP.
"He's a guy that can definitely give it to us."
An All-Pro in 2011, Pierre-Paul had a subpar 2012 season. After getting 161/2 sacks in helping the Giants win the Super Bowl in 2011, he had 10 fewer last year as New York posted a 9-7 record and missed the postseason.
In recent weeks, the 2010 first-round pick said he played in pain last season.
"I don't have that pain that I had before surgery," Pierre-Paul said. "That pain is all gone. (From) time to time, it can get sore but that's not uncommon. I feel good about it."
Pierre-Paul insisted it was his decision to come off the list, and it will be his decision when to play.
"I don't have no goal. I'm taking it day by day. I'm not trying to rush," Pierre-Paul said. "A back is a serious thing. Back surgery is a serious thing. You can't try to come back too early or you can mess it up even more."
The Giants have struggled getting to the quarterback in the preseason, proving just how critical Pierre-Paul is. New York certainly has the depth up front with Justin Tuck, Mathias Kiwanuka, Linval Joseph and Shawn Rogers in addition to Pierre-Paul.
"He eats up double teams," safety Terrell Thomas said. "The more options and more athletes we have on the field, (the better). He is a Pro Bowl-type of guy, so when you get a guy like that back, it makes us that much better."

Dinner Tonight: Egg Drop Soup Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
I'm not sure if I know what egg drop soup should taste like. All I know is how it used to taste when I visited bad Chinese buffets in the Midwest.
The soup was thick with an overly viscous texture, obviously due to a heavy helping of cornstarch. But I still can picture the egg shards suspended in the broth, and how the liquid would sit high on my spoon. It's one of those foods I have incredibly fond memories of, and yet haven't had in nearly ten years. So, how should egg drop soup taste to someone who regularly makes trips down to Chinatown?
This recipe from Simply Recipes is far more refined than the gloppy renditions I'm used to, plus it's really simple. Some mushrooms and ginger help flavor the stock, while just a little bit of cornstarch is added to give the soup just enough body. It's all very subtle and content, which might not sound like the highest praise. It isn't as thrilling as other soups I've made recently and it doesn't quite remind me of the egg drop soup of my youth.
It's such a strange place to be. Does anyone have a recipe they are still particularly thrilled with?
- Yield:4 people
- Active time: 15 minutes
- Total time:15 minutes
- Rated:
- 3 eggs
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 scallions, ends trimmed, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¾ cup shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, thinly sliced
Crack eggs into medium-sized bowl and whisk lightly. Rinse off whisk. Pour ½ cup of stock into another medium-sized bowl and add cornstarch. Whisk until cornstarch is dissolved.
Pour remaining stock into medium-sized saucepan along with ginger, soy sauce, scallions, mushrooms, and black pepper. Turn heat to high and bring to boil. Slowly drizzle in cornstarch mixture, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low and bring soup to simmer.
Slowly drizzle in eggs, stirring lazily with a fork. Egg should immediately turn into ribbons. Once added, turn off the heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

A Sandwich a Day: BBQ Pork Banh Mi from Cali Baguette Express in San Diego, CA
A different sandwich profiled every single day.
In this great nation of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around the country. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
Cali Baguette Express is more sub shop than typical bahn mi joint, offering 16 banh mi options—everything from Cajun shrimp to turkey pesto, rotisserie chicken, and even tuna. The usual suspects, like pork loaf with pate, are also available, but I always go for the BBQ pork banh mi ($3). And yes, just $3.
Sandwiches are made with freshly baked baguettes still warm from the oven, filled with tender and slightly sweet cubes of BBQ pork, daikon, carrot, a strip of cucumber, cilantro, and jalapeño. The bread is light, crisped up on the outside with a fluffy crumb. It's spread with a buttery, slightly tangy mayo that quickly melts, adding a bit more moisture. You can eat the banh mi exactly as served, or squirt on some Sriracha for more heat.

The right way to pass food at table
Times may have changed, but courtesy never goes out of style. In today's world sometimes it's complicated to figure out how to do the right thing. Local etiquette expert Karen Hickman answers your questions or helps solve your dilemmas on Fridays in The News-Sentinel and at www.news-sentinel.com.

Q. Karen, in which direction do we pass food? I learned many years ago that we should pass to the left, but in more recent etiquette books, I have read that we should pass to the right. Which way is correct?
A. There has been some confusion on which way to pass food and I, too, have read in old etiquette books that one should pass to the left. However, today, we teach to pass to the right. One of the reasons for this is that typically, a guest of honor is seated to the right of the host and when the host starts passing any food they would offer it to their guest first. From there, it goes around the table and comes back to the host after everyone else has taken a portion.
Another reason to pass to the right is that it is easier for right-handed people (and most of the world is right-handed, but that leaves the left-handed people out, so I am not sure I buy that reasoning) to reach across their plate and serve themselves from the left side of their dinner plate. But if you are a guest at a table, follow the direction your host has indicated. It's more important to keep all food going in the same direction, rather than worrying about whether is going to the right or the left.
Some other things to keep in mind regarding direction at the table:
* Food is served from the left and cleared from the right.
* Liquids are served from the right.
* Some establishments serve soup in the French fashion, from the right, but many others serve from the left.
* Enter your chair from the right side of the chair, with your left hip. In crowded restaurants or at banquets, if everyone enters their chair from the right it alleviates congestion and getting tangled up in chair legs. Always push in your chair when leaving the table.
* Your bread-and-butter plate is on the left of your dinner plate and your beverage glasses are on the right.
* Salad served accompanying the main course will be to the left of your dinner plate.
The rules at the table are established for very practical reasons. Just like the rules for driving, they keep things flowing so we don't bump into each other.

 Karen Hickman is a certified etiquette/protocol consultant and owner of Professional Courtesy LLC. Do you have a question for her? Email firstname.lastname@example.com, and we'll forward it to her.

SCOTLAND YELLOW TOMATO (Lycopersicon esculentum) originated in the cool and cloudy hills of Scotland, so it is ideal for similar areas here in the States. The 2-3 oz brilliant yellow saladette fruits are born in clusters and are somewhat firm even when ripe but so juicy and delicious! Good storage quality and oh so pretty -- a real hit at the Farmers Market this year! Indeterminate. 70 Days. 10 Seeds.
GROWING TIPS: Tomatoes and Tomatillos are heavy feeders with specific food requirements. So put a lot of attention to bed preparation both when you plant your seeds inside and out. Tomatoes love organic fertilizers and regular watering which, except early in the season when you are fighting pests, should be done from the bottom. Manure teas are an excellent continual food supply. My tomatoes love the comfrey tea I routinely make in my garden using nothing but large buckets and clippings from my comfrey plants. They love warm weather - don't stress out your seedlings by planting too early you will only set back fruiting. Plant flowers nearby to encourage pollination. Even those plants that say they don't need staking should be given some support. I prefer stakes for all such plants. If growing the taller indeterminate tomatoes you need to discipline your plants by pinching out the leaders. This will cut down on the fruit initially, but the fruit you get will be of better quality and ultimately more because if you do not pinch the leaders I have found the plant stops producing flowers. Tomatoes often attract aphids - don't be horrified. Use a hose and your hand to wash away daily and you will find they disappear after a few days-weeks once their breeding cycle is completed. Give tomatoes plenty of space. Don't let them touch each other, especially if growing different varieties, as it will help stop any disease problems from spreading. Did you know that nicotine spreads a terrible virus among tomatoes? So if you smoke, don't touch your tomato plants without using gloves, and don't grow certain nicotine related plants near tomatoes. Keep the fruit picked so production continues. As the season end nears, you can store whole branches of tomatoes by hanging them inside where they can continue to slowly ripen.
Seed shipping is fully underway now and orders are usually processed within 1-2 business days. We reserve the option to hold small orders when a variety is not yet in until it can be filled completely. For larger orders, we ship what is available and back-order the remainder. Live plants ship when weather and your zone permit. If you have any questions, please email us using the contact link on the website. Thank you!

Richard Warren is clearly suffering from a crisis of confidence. "It's never gonna' happen to me/Because I don't look good on TV" he sings. Don't fret - just look at the Chuckle Brothers, Jimmy Krankie, Pat Butcher and Rolly from Grange Hill. None of them were blessed with the looks of an Adonis but they continue to carve out illustrious careers within the dog-eat-dog world of the media (although admittedly it all went pear shaped for Rolly after he started hanging around with smack-head Zammo - just say 'No' kids).
'Good On TV' is a classic example of Echoboy's steady return to pop music after his early, and quite impressive, forays into more leftfield waters on 'Volume One'. Where once there were nine-minute drum machine and meldodica epics, now he's relaxed back into the steady formula of straightforward pop songs. It's a blessing then that he's taken a leaf out of the good book of pop and flicked straight past the Dr Fox section, straight to the adults-only, New Order pages at the back. The bass line nods at <'i>The Head On The Door_' era Cure, while Warren's vocal delivery is crystal clear and the piano break could be taken from the Terminator soundtrack if it was played unplugged on a baby grand.
Echoboy might be playing it safe for now, but he's far from the Elton John collaboration, and long may it remain so.

Heath Ledger's Joker will be more like Sid Vicious than Jack Nicholson, he told MTV. His Joker was so psycho and manic, he had to take weeks-long vacations between scenes:
I actually had quite a bit of time off between scenes — weeks sometimes. But it was required because whenever I was working, it exhausted me to the bone. At the end of the day, I couldn't move. I couldn't talk. I was absolutely wrecked. If I had to do that every day, I couldn't have done what I did. The schedule really permitted me to exhaust myself.
In another recent interview, Ledger said he locked himself in a hotel room for six weeks beforehand, just to prepare for the role. Ledger's crazy talk could just be method-actorly hyperboly, but it's just psychotic enough to make me really want to see the Dark Knight.

Utah State University professor Greg Madden had no money to attend college and can attribute his success to his brothers.
"I am a first generation college student and my brothers blazed the way showing that working night jobs while succeeding in college was possible for someone like me," said Madden.
Madden gave his Inaugural Lecture Series presentation Feb. 27, the 12th lecture of this academic year's installment. His lecture, "A Series of Fortunate Events," described his research and the events that led to full professorship.
Madden's researched has focused primarily on the devaluation of future consequences. Working with cigarette smokers and heroin addicts, Madden studied how their valuation of future consequences affected their current behavior.
"Individuals who greatly devalue the future tend to be ruled by immediate consequences. Smokers devalue the negative future consequences of smoking and choose instead to obtain the immediate beneficial consequences of a nicotine rush," said Madden.
The research then began to focus on nonhuman species, including rats, testing them to see how individual rats devalued future food consequences. Knowing which rats were impulsive and which were self-controlled, Madden arranged an experiment.
"We gave rats the opportunity to take cocaine by pressing a lever," he said. "Most of the impulsive rats repeatedly pressed the lever, suggesting that disproportionate susceptibility to immediate consequences may underlie the decision to take drugs."
With an understanding of the rats' impulsiveness, Madden plans to evaluate its implications for human behavior.
"The big idea is if we can teach rats to be less impulsive then perhaps we can use similar techniques to teach humans to be less impulsive," said Madden.
In addition to his laboratory research at USU, Madden has collaborated with Heidi Wengreen in the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food Science to investigate ways to encourage fruit and vegetable consumption among kids.
"The ultimate goal is to put together a package that schools would be willing to implement to positively impact their students' health," said Madden.
When not engaged in his research or teaching, Cache Valley allows Madden to ski and hike with his family and wife, Carrie Madden, while pursuing an academic career at a recognized research institution.
"What I love about USU is that there are world class researchers here but they are laid back and humble; it's a great place to be," said Madden.

Atlantis made the final docking of the 30-year space shuttle program on Sunday, hooking up with the International Space Station for a final resupply rendezvous.
Aboard the station, NASA astronaut Ron Garan rang a bell to mark the shuttle's arrival in traditional naval fashion.
"Atlantis arriving," he declared. "Welcome to the International Space Station for the last time."
"And it's great to be here," Atlantis commander Chris Ferguson replied.
During this 135th and final space shuttle mission, Atlantis is delivering more than four tons of food, clothes, spare parts, experiments and other space station supplies to keep the complex going in the post-shuttle era. NASA figures that this shipment will help keep the space station provisioned through the end of next year.
Computer glitch and potential space junk
The mission's lead flight director, Kwatsi Alibaruho, said Atlantis' crew encountered a "slight problem" well before the docking sequence when one of the shuttle's computers failed during the morning power-up. He explained that the computers' on-off switches "can be a little bit temperamental from time to time." If they're not flipped on decisively, that could create a glitch — which is apparently what happened on Sunday.
The shuttle uses three computers simultaneously to provide redundancy, and the glitchy computer was "voted out" and taken offline. Alibaruho expected that a Monday-morning reset would put the system right again. He also noted that the shuttle has two spare computers, just in case there's a hard failure.
Later in the day, mission management team leader LeRoy Cain said a piece of space junk might come close to the docked shuttle and station on Tuesday, the same day that the sole spacewalk of Atlantis' mission is scheduled to take place.
Cain didn't yet have details about the trajectory or precise nature of the debris, but he said that if the orbital path came too close, the shuttle could fire its thrusters to move the station out of the way.
'Powerful moment'
Alibaruho said Sunday was a "big game day" because of the last shuttle docking, and the gravity of the occasion sank in among members of the flight team at Johnson Space Center in Texas.
"It was a powerful moment for me. ... I was not feeling sadness, but that understandable and common and sober anticipation of what's coming next," Alibaruho told journalists.
This was the 46th docking by a space shuttle to a space station. Nine of those were to Russia's Mir station back in the mid-1990s. The U.S. and Russia built on that sometimes-precarious experience to create, along with a dozen other nations, the world's largest spacecraft ever: the permanently inhabited, finally completed, 12-year-old International Space Station.
Ferguson was at the controls as Atlantis closed in, leading the smallest astronaut crew since 1983.
Only four are flying aboard Atlantis, as NASA kept the crew to a minimum in case of an emergency. In the unlikely event that Atlantis was seriously damaged, the shuttle astronauts would need to move into the space station for months and rely on Russian Soyuz capsules to get back home. Since the 2003 Columbia tragedy, a shuttle had always been kept on standby for a possible rescue, but that's no longer feasible with Discovery and Endeavour officially retired now.
NASA said Atlantis seemed free of significant damage. But as a safeguard, the shuttle performed a final backflip for the space station cameras, an hour before the 230-mile-high (370-kilometer-high) linkup. The station astronauts captured high-resolution photos of the shuttle's protective tiles during the maneuver.
The orbital ballet move was executed without a hitch. "Poetry in motion," NASA mission commentator Rob Navias said. Over the next couple of days, experts on the ground will scrutinize the digital images for any signs of damage that might have come from fuel tank foam, ice or other launch debris.
Two hours after the docking, Atlantis' crew of four floated into the space station for a round of hugs and picture-taking with the space station's six-member crew. Because of the shuttle fleet's retirement, it could well be years before so many people are in space together again.
'Antlantis' crew has big moving job
After familiarizing themselves with the station, Atlantis' crew was due to transfer an inspection boom to the shuttle's robotic arm and then prepare for Monday's primary task: using the station's robotic arm to move the Raffaello logistics module out of the shuttle's payload bay and hook it up to the station for the cargo transfer.
Alibaruho said astronauts would have to hustle to move "bag upon bag upon bag" of supplies from Atlantis into the space station over the next week or so.
"It'll be almost like watching an army of ants moving across an anthill, carrying their cargo, except the astronauts are ... considerably bigger," he said.
Atlantis' mission currently is scheduled to last 12 days, but NASA is expected to add a 13th day to give the astronauts extra time for the moving chores. Alibaruho said the decision would probably come on Tuesday, once mission managers were absolutely sure Atlantis had enough power-generating capacity to support the extension. Unlike the now-retired Discovery and Endeavour, Atlantis does not have the ability to draw power from the space station.
Cain said space station managers almost certainly will have some extra "job-jar items" for Atlantis' crew. "It's like your list that you have at home," he said. "There's always work to be done on the house."
What happens after the shuttles?
This is the last chance to have some extra help around the space station, which now provides more living space than a typical five-bedroom house. NASA is getting out of the launching-to-orbit business and giving the three remaining shuttles to museums so it can start working on human trips to asteroids and Mars.
With NASA's support, U.S. companies are developing next-generation spaceships to make space station delivery runs and eventually carry astronauts as well. In the meantime, NASA will have to rely on Russian spacecraft to transport supplies and astronauts, along with Japanese and European robotic cargo transports.
Some observers — including former NASA astronauts — have voiced fears that the shuttle's end will mean the end of U.S. spaceflight as well. NASA Administrator Charles Bolden sought to counter that perception on Sunday during an interview on CNN's "State of the Union" program. He said the United States would remain the world leader in space exploration even after the shuttles stop flying.
"I would encourage the American public to listen to the president," Bolden said. "The president has set the goals: an asteroid in 2025, Mars in 2030. I can't get any more definitive than that."

Pent-up demand triggering record pace of home sales around Western Washington
Hot off the presses… this months report for the Northwest MLS points to a strong market getting stronger!
KIRKLAND, Washington (May 5, 2015) – Northwest Multiple Listing Service members notched a record high level of pending sales during April, surpassing the year-ago volume by nearly 1,800 transactions. Both closed sales and prices also surged last month as the spring market kicked into high gear.
Buyer confidence and buyer ability to purchase are fueling activity, suggested Ken Anderson, the managing broker and owner of Coldwell Banker Evergreen Olympia Realty. "Long building pent-up demand is being unleashed," he commented.MLS members reported an 18.7 percent year-over-year increase in pending sales, with the volume of mutually accepted offers rising from 9,590 transactions to 11,384. For the four-county Puget Sound region members logged 8,671 pending sales to top the 8,000 mark for only the second time in the past 16 years.
Closed sales and prices also accelerated, according to Northwest MLS statistics. Across the 23 counties covered by the report there were 7,696 closed sales. That total represents a 24.3 percent increase from the year-ago volume of 6,190 closings. Within the four-county region, Pierce County experienced a jump of nearly 38 percent in closed sales compared to a year ago, followed by Snohomish County with a 35 percent increase, prompting one MLS director to comment, "That is super amazing." "We are still very clearly in the midst of a seller's market and unless we see a significant increase in listings, it will remain that way for the foreseeable future," remarked OB Jacobi, president of Windermere Real Estate. Jacobi and other brokers reiterated the dire need for listings.
Members added 11,495 new listings to inventory during April, but brisk sales kept supply tight and well below the level of a year ago. At the end of April, the MLS reported 18,132 listings of single family homes and condominiums in its database, a drop of more than 15 percent from the year-ago total of 21,390. Compared to March, inventory at the end of April improved by 6.6 percent, but pending sales jumped 13.7 percent from the previous month. "We're in desperate need of inventory so I hope to see an increase in listings as we move further into the late spring/early summer," stated Jacobi.
JNorthwest MLS figures show less than 2.4 months of supply at the end of April, down from the March figure of 2.5 months and down from a year ago when there was about 3.5 months of supply. Inventory is especially tight in King County, with 1.3 months of supply, and Snohomish County, with about 1.5 months.
Many industry analysts use a range of four-to-six months as an indicator of a balanced market. Prices on last month's closed sales were up 12.4 percent. The median price for April's sales of single family homes and condos was $309,000, which compares to the year-ago price of $275,000. For single family homes only (excluding condos), the median price rose from $287,500 to $320,000 for a gain of 11.3 percent. Condo prices jumped nearly 13.8 percent system-wide. In King County, where homes fetch the highest prices, the median price of last month's sales of single family homes was $480,000. That reflects a gain of 11.5 percent from the year ago price of $430,500. King County condo prices increased about 8.8 percent from a year ago, rising from $250,000 to $272,000.
"What's available and that looks at least 'pretty good' is selling," according to MLS director Dick Beeson, principal managing broker at RE/MAX Professionals in Tacoma. Commenting on the latest MLS statistics, he said, "What we have in the Greater Puget Sound real estate market is too many buyers chasing too few homes." Beeson cautioned buyers against "playing games" with sellers. "The new normal for buyers is that the quest for the perfect home may have to wait," suggested Beeson. "You should buy now, get in the mix, buy a home and build equity for a future decision," he advised. "Don't wait to pay more for the same home next year." Brokers do not appear to be worried about a housing bubble.
"Some are talking about the potential for another housing bubble given the lack of homes for sale and the bullishness of buyers in bidding up properties," acknowledged Jacobi. "For now," he said, "I believe there are sufficient safeguards in place to keep this from happening." Anderson agreed. "With pending home sales in Thurston County at record levels I am often asked if we are repeating the problems the last run-up caused," he stated, adding, "There are two important differences in this market. There is not the overbuilding we saw before, and the buyers are truly qualified for today's mortgages. Both facts suggest we won't have a problem with the oversupply that contributed to the recent downturn. This time the market improvement is built on solid footings."
Northwest Multiple Listing Service, owned by its member real estate firms, is the largest full-service MLS in the Northwest. Its membership includes more than 23,000 real estate brokers. The organization, based in Kirkland, Wash., currently serves 23 counties in Washington State.

Happy New Year with a 2015 Snapshot
Looking back, the market here on the beach for 2014 was a marked improvement over the previous years in most ways. Prices either inched up or stabilized in each segment of our market with decent availability for buyers and stable sales for sellers. Lending practices at least didn't get worse and in many cases became more streamlined and predictable. Appraisals came in favorably in most cases with adequate comparables (always a challenge in our small market).
Here is a LINK to a 2015 forecast from KIRO Radio's Tom Kelly for the Puget Sound region. Our own coastal market is tied to the rise and fall of values in the urban areas with a slight delay in response to changes in either direction. I look forward to the coming year and to meeting you at the beach soon!

| 2°C Belfast
BBC stars have condemned the closure of Television Centre as they recorded a special show to bid farewell to the famous building .
Goodbye Television Centre, filmed at Studio One of the Grade II listed building in west London, saw celebrities from its 53-year history gather to reminisce about their experiences days before it closes.
The centre is being made into a £200 million shops and offices complex.
Former BBC chairman Lord Grade interviewed legends of the small screen, including Sir David Attenborough, Sir Michael Parkinson, Sir Terry Wogan, Sir Bruce Forsyth, Ronnie Corbett and Sir David Jason, for the two-hour long broadcast recorded on Monday night.
But many voiced their disapproval for the closure, with The Good Life actress Penelope Keith saying it was tantamount to making them "orphans".
Sir Terry drew rapturous applause from the audience when he said: "I know it's only a building. I know it's an inanimate object and it doesn't have a heart. But it has a spirit. There are spirits here, of immensely talented, brilliant people who made some of the best television programmes ever seen and I think it's a shame. It's a shame to close it down."
Broadcaster Danny Baker had some of the strongest words about the imminent closure, comparing it to the destruction of archive footage in the 1960s. He also bemoaned the fact that the former Top Of The Pops studios were "probably going to be some coffee lounge".
"I'm not here to bang the drum," he said. "They say it makes financial sense to get rid of it. But they said it made financial sense to get rid of those tapes in the 1960s, and we all know what a blunder that was."
Baker said Television Centre was a "recognisable symbol" of all that the BBC stands for, adding: "The very structure of the bricks of this place comes with a certain accountability."
Sir Michael, whose chat show was filmed at Television Centre, compared it to other landmarks including the Royal Opera House, adding: "I think we've lost an awful lot. That it's gone without any recognition or any outcry is quite extraordinary."

In the days before Sky Mall and Hammacher Schlemmer, Americans had just one option to purchase their gimmicky gadgets—late night TV. Whether you needed a vacuum-equipped razor, an in-the-shell egg scrambler, or the best damn rotisserie $19.95 could buy, all you had to do was pick up the phone. Our friends at Oobject have collected nine of the coolest products you never knew you couldn't live without.
Be sure to also check out a dozen condom commercials from as many countries, robotics ads throughout history, and these spots for the Apple II.

Join us for this 2 Part webcast as we examine the area of human rights risk and the possible wide-ranging impacts on corporations. While many companies think of human rights in terms of compliance or ethics, it is a risk that is much broader. We will talk to experts from NGOs who have been active in this area for some time and with company representatives who are taking action to help mitigate human rights risk.
In Part 2 of this Webcast we will hear from companies that have taken an active role to address human rights in their day to day business operations. Human rights violations have become so well publicized that companies risk losing their license to operate in some countries. Company representatives will share why this has become an important issue for them and how they are able to educate people in their organisations to consider human rights risk.
Key questions addressed:
- Why has the area of human rights risk become important for Nestlé and Total?
- What are the consequences of violating human rights?
- How has human rights risk moved beyond just a compliance exercise?
- How are operations incorporating changes in processes to mitigate human rights risks?

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A cell phone video broadcast this week of the police shooting of 34 miners in South Africa last year has piled more pressure on the security forces, showing officers bragging about the killings and undermining claims that they fired in self-defense.
Reuters television footage of some of the killings at Lonmin's Marikana platinum mine showed a dozen striking miners being cut down in a hail of police bullets.
The images of the bloodiest security incident since apartheid shocked the world, and dented the reputation of Nelson Mandela's "Rainbow Nation" and the ruling African National Congress (ANC), which faces an election next year.
Since then the pay strikes have abated, but turmoil in the sector has continued, with the world's biggest platinum producer, Anglo American Platinum Ltd, infuriating miners and the ANC alike with plans to mothball mines accounting for 3 pct of South Africa's workforce.
Most of the Marikana victims died in and around a small cluster of rocks - a 'koppie' in Afrikaans - about 400 meters (yards) away from the main confrontation, out of sight of reporters and television cameras.
It is here that multiple witness reports have spoken of police officers gunning down miners as they surrendered, or shooting them in the back as they fled.
The cell phone footage from the koppie, aired on Britain's Channel 4 television, shows a police officer lying on the ground behind a rock with his pistol drawn.
The images were shot by a colleague, also lying in the grass, with the barrel of his sidearm regularly moving into the frame.
The first officer indicates that a miner is on the move in front of them. A voice can then be heard shouting: "Wait, don't shoot him, don't shoot him."
Gunfire is then heard, and the video cuts to the body of a man in jeans lying in the grass.
Moments later, another officer can be heard off-camera boasting about killing the man. "That motherfucker. I shot him at least 10 times," the officer says.
Channel 4 said the body had been identified and the man had been shot 12 times.
Police spokesman Dennis Adriao declined to comment on the latest footage, which was submitted by police to an inquiry into the killings in the city of Rustenburg, 120 km (70 miles) northwest of Johannesburg, according to inquiry officials.
Ian Farlam, the retired judge heading the probe, said the footage had been viewed by the inquiry in November and cautioned against reading too much into it.
"The commission is of the view that it is premature to draw conclusions from the video footage that is included in the broadcast," he told the inquiry, according to local media.
The police have said they resorted to lethal force after coming under fire from some armed miners. Post mortem reports indicated 14 of the Marikana victims had been shot in the back.
The Farlam inquiry is due to wind up in the middle of the year. Its findings are likely to be damning of the security forces and could have implications for President Jacob Zuma as he heads for an election due in just over a year.
Anglo American Platinum, which has announced plans to lay off 14,000 workers and close two mines, said on Tuesday that talks with the government and unions to mitigate the fallout had been "constructive".

ALBANY, N.Y. – The chairwoman of a troubled New York state ethics board created just over a year ago is being replaced by a lawyer who represented Wall Street swindler Bernard Madoff (MAY'-dawf).
Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo (KWOH'-moh) says former Manhattan assistant district attorney Daniel Horwitz will head the Joint Commission on Public Ethics.
Cuomo says Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore (dee-fee-OR'-ee) is being replaced as chairwoman because she's running for re-election as Westchester's top prosecutor.
The commission was formed after Cuomo pushed an ethics enforcement overhaul. It has been criticized for its secrecy and lack of action against powerful targets.
A Cuomo spokesman says the governor knew Horwitz represented Madoff and it wasn't a concern.
Madoff ran a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme. He pleaded guilty to fraud in 2009 and is serving a 150-year prison sentence.
