Chuck E. Cheese's is adding Oculus Rift technology to its Ticket Blaster game for birthday party packages. "Chuck E. Cheese's Virtual Ticket Blaster Experience" will make its way to select markets beginning today in Dallas and on to San Diego and Orlando, Fla., later this month.
"Kids today have unprecedented access to game consoles and tablets," President Roger Cardinale said in a news release. "Our challenge is to deliver an experience not available at home, and there is no doubt virtual reality does just that. Oculus Rift technology is the next frontier in the gaming industry, and we're thrilled to be able to say it's part of the Chuck E. Cheese's lineup."
Birthday parties booked during the six-week test in the three markets will offer the birthday boy/girl a turn in the virtual Ticket Blaster. The headset uses 360-degree head-tracking technology and features a 3D view so users feel as though they are inside the Ticket Blaster with Chuck E., the release said. During the experience, the headset will register the number of tickets collected, which will be fully redeemable at the merchandise counter.
The first store equipped with "Chuck E. Cheese's Virtual Ticket Blaster Experience" will be at 13364 Montfort Drive in Dallas. Later this month there will be 15 more locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, six in Orlando and eight in San Diego.
Chuck E. Cheese's originally began working with Dallas-based Reel FX in 2012 on the reimagination of Chuck E. Cheese. Reel FX is a provider of Oculus Rift virtual reality content.
"We believe that virtual reality eventually will be as popular as our handheld devices," Reel FX founder Dale Carman said in the release. "It's a game-changer, and we're investing incredible time and talent into developing content for the Oculus Rift."

So The Ultimate Woody Allen Film Companion is out! You can get it here, or here, or here. And there have been excerpts, luckily enough:
The Dissolve ran the piece on "The Woody Allen Style".
RogerEbert.com's "Balder and Dash" vertical ran the piece on autobiography and persona.
And Movie Mezzanine ran the piece on Woody the dramatist.
Also, in a just-plain-odd bit of timing, Pulp Fiction celebrated its actual 20th anniversary (the one that our 20th anniversary book was published nearly a year ahead of) the very week that the Woody book hit shelves, so I had an excuse to run a couple of excerpts from that one too.
At Flavorwire, on Tarantino, violence, and tap-dancing.
And, at The Atlantic, on Tarantino as director/DJ.
So, enjoy! And if you do, y'know, buy the books.

My Next Book: "Richard Pryor: American Id"
A few weeks back, I noticed that quite a few very good film writers/Twitter pals were announcing books from a new publisher called The Critical Press. So I headed over to their website, poked around, and got very excited--because I knew I'd finally found a home for the book I've been wanting to write, trying to write, and starting to write for something like five years now, a book I was thinking about before I even knew anyone would let me write a book. And luckily for me, The Critical Press thinks it's a book worth writing as well, so they'll be publishing it next fall. It's called Richard Pryor: American Id.
I've been a Pryor fan for most of my life, even before I knew the real Pryor, when all I knew him as was the funny guy in Superman III and The Toy. (I was a kid, I didn't know any better.) But when I started listening to the albums, a good many years before I probably should have, I was hooked. I know them by heart, I've seen all the movies, I've watched and rewatched the TV shows. And I've always felt there's a bigger story there, beyond just the comic brilliance of what he was doing, a story of how Richard changed American culture--partially just by being someone who talked about hot-button issues, yet who everyone agreed was funny--and how American culture changed him, how they reflected each other. And in a strange way, it feels like Richard's story mirrors that of American culture in the mid-to-late 20th century: it's a story of discovery, of finding a voice, of breaking down barriers, and then of retreating into safety and nostalgia.
So with those ideas in mind, the book will be neither a conventional biography (there's plenty of those out there, and more are coming) nor a complete catalogue of the work (like my Woody Allen book). Instead, in a style somewhat inspired by Greil Marcus's books on Van Morrison and the Doors, I'll tackle Pryor through a handful of essays, each of them examining a recurring theme, motif, or experience within his work, via one or a couple of a handful of stand-up routines, or film performances, or TV apperances. (For example, rather than running through his battles with substance abuse, we'll look at his performances as addicts in Lady Sings the Blues, in the "Wino Vs. Junkie" routine on That Nigger's Crazy, as "Motif the Junikie" in Richard Pryor: Here and Now, and in a remarkable sketch on Lilty Tomlin's special Lily. That kinda thing.) If you'd like an idea of what it will be like, here's a piece I ran at Flavorwire, based on an earlier version of the prologue.
So I'll be working on the book this fall and winter, and The Critical Press is aiming to release it next fall--just in time, wouldn't ya know it, to coincide with Lee Daniels' Pryor biopic. They'll release it both in physical and digital format, for all you Kindle-rs out there. And it is my hope that it will be a book worthy of its rich subject. It's the book I've been wanting to write for a very long time, and I look forward to sharing it with you.

10 Must-See Movies at the 2014 Tallgrass Film Festival
The time has come again for me to pack a bag, gather up the family, and head home to Wichita, Kansas for the Tallgrass Film Festival--my hometown film fest, where I've participated as a filmmaker, a selection committee member, and, for the last three years, as a critic. It kicks off tonight, and one of the best things about the festival is that its programmers gather terrific films that might never otherwise make their way to a smaller market like Wichita; they've got pictures that played Sundance, SXSW, Tribeca, and elsewhere, all of them worth seeing. So I put together a round-up of the ones I've already enjoyed, in the hopes that you Tallgrass-goers will do the same.
Art and Craft
"Nothing's original under the sun — everything goes back to something," mutters Mark Landis in the opening sequence of this rich and fascinating documentary. He made a life of that principle; for decades, the soft-spoken, melancholy, schizophrenic art forger "donated" over 100 works of art to 46 museums in 20 states, sometimes disguised as a priest, occasionally in the name of his deceased mother or fictional sister. He was finally outed by the registrar of one of those museums, Matthew Leininger, and Art and Craft brilliantly situates them as opposite sides of the same coin, pursuing complimentary obsessions with a similar fervor. The picture's got a crisp pace and a deadpan playfulness, telling a too-good-to-be-true story with humor and empathy, and its climactic sequence (where the key players come face to face at an exhibition of Landis's work) is funny, sad, and satisfying, all at once.
Five Star
Writer/director/Editor Keith Miller crafts this Brooklyn gang drama with an offhand naturalism, filling it with conversations that feel overheard and scenes that seem captured without preparation. As a result, some of the scenes run on a bit too long, sacrificing dynamism for the sake of reality, and the familiarity of the narrative results in some unfortunately clichéd dialogue ("Sad to say, it was just business"). But nonetheless, this is a forceful and bracing ground-level portrait, contrasting a young man working his way into "the life" with an older power player longing to get out. And first-timer James "Primo" Grant is astonishingly good in the leading role, suggesting but never insisting on either his power or his complexity.
The Great Invisible
The winner of this year's SXSW Grand Jury Prize for feature documentary revisits the Deep Horizon explosion and subsequent oil spill, which dumped 176 million gallons of oil in the Gulf of Mexico over 87 days in 2010. It gives you what you pay for — stunning figures, accounts of mind-boggling hypocrisy and incompetence, and endless rage. We know the facts; director Margaret Brown's skill is in drawing out the characters, from shellshocked survivors to family members left behind to Roosevelt Harris, a straight-talking and kind food bank volunteer who provides the heart and soul of the picture. It's easy to get depressed by this kind of thing, but Harris provides a valuable counterpoint, reminding us of the goodness that inevitably appears in the wake of a nightmare.
Keep on Keepin' On
We get our first glimpse of jazz legend Clark Terry as he's bedridden, an oxygen tube to his nose, humming melodies. "I'm 89, but I'm gonna keep doin' it till I get it right," he insists, and Alan Hicks' documentary takes a look at his long career, as one of the foremost jazz trumpet players, to his current station as an instructor and booster, providing the kind of guidance to young musicians that the old timers in his day rarely gave. Hicks also focuses on Justin Kauflin, a young, blind jazz piano player who "CT" takes under his wing; the older man gets sicker, but the mentorship helps keep his head in the game. Hicks' style is intimate and unassuming, capturing the struggles of musicians young and old, and the common bond shared between them (not just Terry and Kauflin, but the genuine affection between Terry and Quincy Jones, who exec-produces). Wanders a little, but a warm and engaging picture, filled — no surprise — with great music.
The Kill Team
Director Dan Krauss crafts a chilling, unforgiving, and vividly effective documentary account of a platoon of soldiers murdering Afghans for sport, mutilating corpses, and engaging in other ghastly activity in the name of "combat." Motivated by resentment, blood lust, or (worst of all) sheer boredom, the "kill team" took graphic video and pictures as shocking as anything at Abu Gharib, and nearly got away with it. Krauss focuses on the trial of Spc. Adam Winfield, who tried to blow the whistle and failed; his helplessness grounds the tale, while Krauss and editor Lawrence Lerew's sharp-edged cutting keeps the storytelling hard and jarring. Excellent documentary filmmaking, and infuriating viewing.
Life Itself
Hoop Dreams director Steve James constructs this documentary profile of film critic Roger Ebert in much the same spirit as the memoir whose title it shares — as a series of good stories, warm memories, and cinematic valentines. He's covering a lot of ground here, but the picture never feels rushed or superficial; it's full of tributes, dialectics, fascinating archival material, and remarkable footage shot by James during Ebert's final months. A treat for cinephiles, but they're not the only audience; it is the moving story of a bright man who found fame and love and, in the face of illness, tremendous bravery. (Full review here.)
Mood Indigo
The latest from the great Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) opens with a quote from Boris Vian: "The story is entirely true, because I imagined it from one end to the other." It feels that thoroughly pulled from Gondry's active imagination; he creates his own world, with its own look, rules, and even physics. It's at the service of a charming story about a young man (Roman Duris) who demands to fall in love (mostly because all of his friends are), and meets a lovely young woman (Audrey Tautou) who puts him at ease: "If we screw up the moment, we try the next," she tells him on their first date. "We have our whole lives to get it right." It's a sweet and cheery movie that takes a turn toward melancholy in its third act — which is probably for the best, since Gondry's style can get a bit exhausting, and you can only watch a spinning top for so long. But if you go along with it, Mood Indigo offers plenty of pleasures, not least among them the joy Gondry seems to have playing in his big sandbox.
The Overnighters
Jesse Moss's quiet, thoughtful documentary tells the story of Pastor Jay Reinke, whose Concordia Lutheran Church in Williston, North Dakota becomes a way station for waves of men flooding into their town looking for work in the flourishing oil industry. The church offers them help and temporary housing — but their presence causes tension with neighbors and the community, who are wary of these out-of-towners (particularly when a local newspaper uncovers a worrisome number of sex offenders in their midst). Moss' camera captures some extraordinarily candid moments, up to and including a closing bombshell that reframes much of what's come before. But it's not just voyeurism; the picture carefully considers, in a way that's seldom seen in American film, exactly what it is to be a Christian — not just to say it, but to be it — and the implications of living one's life accordingly.
Stray Dog
Debra Granik's documentary follow-up to the Oscar-nominated Winter's Bone opens with a pack of aging, grizzled bikers hanging out in parking lots, roaring down highways, and drinking moonshine out of jelly jars. But within minutes, we're watching one of them learning Spanish on his computer and painting figurines with his Mexican wife. You think you know people, and you might think you know Ronnie "Stray Dog" Hall, but Granik's quietly observational movie (no interviews, no voice-over, just moments) takes in a man who seems like a type, living a very average Midwestern trailer park life, and discovers the real guy: a likable old salty dog whose warm exterior conceals a lot of sadness and a lot of pain. But it's not a sad film, and it's not "poverty porn" — it's filled with earthy humor and love, both for this man and what he represents.
Chaimae Ben Acha is superb as Malika, lead singer of a punk band in Tangier desperate to hustle up some cash for a promising demo recording. She crosses paths with Samir (Mourade Zeguendi), a skeezy but persuasive drug dealer, who offers her a stack of cash to drive a heroin-filled car across the border — a seemingly easy mission, but one with dangerous repercussions that become frighteningly clear when it's too late to turn back. Writer/director Sean Gullette (star of Darren Aronofky's Pi) feeds off the band's punk energy in the early passages, while taking an unexpected turn into stranger waters later on. The tension is genuine and the script is smart, given an invaluable assist by Acha's considerable charisma and force.

"This fascinating book holds up a desperately needed mirror that objectively reveals a reflection we might not want to see. Yet through experienced guidance and genuine input, Bazerman and Tenbrunsel offer solutions that can powerfully change the way we do business."--Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The Leader in Me
"When we think of unethical behavior, the images that often come to mind are those of robbers, thieves, the executives at Enron, or Bernie Madoff. Blind Spots is not just about these criminals, but about a much larger problem-the dishonest actions that we all take while still thinking of ourselves as wonderfully moral people. In this important book, Bazerman and Tenbrunsel show us how we fail to see our own immoral actions in an objective light, and the trouble that this biased view gets us into."--Dan Ariely, author of Predictably Irrational
"Peppered with compelling examples, Bazerman and Tenbrunsel's lively book deserves the broadest possible audience. Showing that the human mind sometimes leads us to behave in ways that are inconsistent with our own ethical standards, Blind Spots introduces behavioral ethics and reveals how this emerging field has important implications for wise decision making in our personal and professional lives. This is a must-read for those responsible for shaping regulatory policies in organizations and government."--Robert H. Mnookin, Harvard University
"Bazerman and Tenbrunsel weave together solid scientific evidence, stories from the press, and reports from their own experiences to convincingly demonstrate that the actions of people and organizations often do not live up to their stated ethical standards. Addressing, in insightful ways, how this gap might be closed, this important book is a must-read for business leaders, government officials, and students of behavioral ethics."--Arthur P. Brief, University of Utah
"This terrific book summarizes the rapid advances made in the field of behavioral ethics and brings them to the attention of the thoughtful practitioner. With good examples and lucid writing, this book makes a reliable reference for people interested in building ethical organizations and institutions."--Madan Pillutla, London Business School

In his presentation to delegates attending the 2012 Insurance Conference at Sun City today, Peter Todd, Chief Executive Officer of Mutual & Federal urged the financial services industry to market itself more positively to the public.
"Ours is a noble industry with a noble purpose", Todd told delegates. "However, the public has a negative perception of who we are and we need to do something to change that", he continued.
According to Todd, the industry is facing a crisis of public confidence that started showing four years ago. Among other issues, the public is of the view that most company executives are 'fat cats' who are only interested in their personal financial gain – rather than promoting the good that their organisations are doing on behalf of their customers, the industry, and the public in general.
Referring to the famous John F. Kennedy quote of 1962, which alludes to the fact that consumers' views are often not heard, Todd cautioned the industry against ignoring public opinion. He said that social media platforms are fast becoming avenues for consumers to air their views against corporate behaviour. "There is no place to hide", he stressed.
Todd also called on the industry to re-examine itself and question whether the way it is currently responding to the crisis of public confidence isn't fuelling the fire in any way. To illustrate, he mentioned that the industry spends about R115bn on advertising annually. "But how much of this promotes our industry", Todd asked.
He also spoke of a war on talent that is prevalent in the industry, as companies in the financial sector are failing to attract the right candidates.
In his conclusion, Todd praised those who are promoting the industry positively and urged other delegates to take the lead from them. He said the industry needs to stand united behind its noble purpose and thus promote a proudly insurance image.
Mutual & Federal is a member of the Old Mutual Group and one of the leading short-term insurers in southern Africa.
The Insurance Conference is an annual event that offers delegates the opportunity to debate issues facing the industry. This year's conference will end on 12 June 2012.

She usually takes control of everything when it comes to her career, but now Lady Gaga admits when she's home, her longtime boyfriend Taylor Kinney tells her what to do.
During her interview with Sirius XM show "Morning Mash-Up" on Monday (March 24), the "Applause" hitmaker was asked, "In your personal relationship with your man, are you submissive."
Personally overseeing every inch of her career, Lady Gaga wrote the lettering on her new "G.U.Y." single cover art herself,
The "Edge of Glory" singer posted a photo of the new art work to her Facebook page, along with the caption, "The G.U.Y. single cover thats my handwriting!"
Standing out even in diverse New York City, Lady Gaga arrived at a studio on Saturday (March 22).
The "Born This Way" singer dressed in all black with a knit cap, spiked shoulderpads, and flared pants with a white facemask accenting her look.
Giving fans another visual treat for her ARTPOP album, Lady Gaga debuted the music video for "G.U.Y." on Saturday (March 22).
Running almost 12 minutes, the video shot at Hearst Castle features a winged Gaga, tons of supporting backup dancers, and...the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?!
Making good on a claim that "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" would make an appearance in the video for Lady Gaga's newest single "G.U.Y.," Lisa Vanderpump also loaned a special guest to Mother Monster!
Snapping a cute selfie with the reality starlet's pup, Giggy, the 27-year-old songstress is pictured in voluminous black and white furs, holding her costar in her lap.
She's usually happy to expose her bod while in the public, but in New York City on Friday (March 21), Lady Gaga covered up from head to toe.
The "Born This Way" singer wore a black and red sweater, dark pants, and heels as she covered her face in a black bandana and red-rimmed shades.
She made headlines over her interesting performance at the SXSW Festival in Texas earlier this month, and now Lady Gaga is sharing details about her stunt.
During her interview with Savannah Guthrie on "Today," the "Born This Way" hitmaker revealed the real reason behind her decision to let a performing artist vomit green slime all over her during the concert at Stubb's BBQ in Austin.
She never misses an opportunity for promotion, and Lady Gaga showed up outside her New York City hotel en route to the "Today" show on Friday morning (March 21).
The "Just Dance" songstress wore an all-black ensemble with massive platform boots and a long blonde hairdo as she marched through Manhattan while shutterbugs trailed behind.

Bach at Leipzig
Bach at Leipzig: Itamar Moses' Wild, Witty Play About Music Rivals
Full Price
$22.00 - $34.00
Our Price
$11.00 - $17.00*
What if the Marx Brothers and British playwright Tom Stoppard (Shakespeare in Love) collaborated on a play? According to Milwaukee Sentinel, the resulting work might look a lot like Itamar Moses' Bach at Leipzig. Set in Leipzig in 1722, Germany's most renowned music director is dead at the keyboard. Without missing a beat, the country's greatest organists rush to fill his position. Now, it seems that everybody is guilty of trickery and blackmail. Sit back and enjoy the rush of rivalry as these virtuosos scramble for success. Bach at Leipzig is rooted in history, embellished with fiction and accompanied by a score filled with wild and witty revelations.
* Additional fees apply.
All offers for Bach at Leipzig have expired.

Regardless of source, blue agate is chiefly valued for its translucency and purity of hue. The general mine run of stones from California and Namibia tend toward a slightly gray, medium-toned blue hue, sort of a stormy-sky blue. In this system of evaluation, gray, along with brown, are not regarded as hues but are treated as saturation modifiers which, when present, dull or muddy the saturation or mask the intensity of the hue. A gray mask is nearly always present in blue agate. Like a dirty film on a window, gray dulls the hue, reducing the saturation or brightness of the color. The gray may be difficult to detect but pure hues are always vivid, so the presence of gray may be inferred from a cool dullish blue. Obviously, the brighter the blue the better the stone.
Purple is the normal secondary hue, and when it is present, adds dramatically to the beauty and price of the stone. Holley blue is famous for its amethystine secondary hue, but a hint of purple can also be found in damsonite and even in stones from other locations. Occasionally a stone will be found that has a purple primary hue, but these are exceedingly rare. Stones of this color will have a blue secondary hue; that is, they will be bluish purple rather than purplish blue. The market prefers bluish purple, purplish blue, and grayish blue, in that order. The greater the percentage of purple and the smaller the percentage of gray the better the stone. I have seen only three examples of a pure blue hue without measurable gray.

Like many another gemstone, blue agate is marketed under a variety of aliases: damsonite, Mojave blue, and Holley blue agate are the most common. All are chalcedony from a variety of locales, with some small differences based on color and transparency of the agate.
Mojave blue is a trade name describing a slightly grayish blue opaque to semi-translucent stone found in the Mojave Desert, about a hundred miles south of Los Angeles. A similar quality material is found in Namibia. Damsonite is an opaque violetish material found in central Arizona. Holley blue is an opaque to translucent, purplish or amethystine-hued variety that has been found in and around Sweet Home, Oregon, and was named, apparently, for the Holley School near one of the sites. Another variation, Ellensburg blue, is found as glacial till scattered about the Washington state township from which it draws its name. Ellensburg blue agate often has purer blue hue.

Carnelian was one of the most sought after gems of antiquity. The Egyptians, Sumerians, Hittites, Babylonians, and Mycenaeans adored this gemstone. The Roman historian pliny said that "among the ancients there was no precious stone in more common use." A majority of classical Greek and Roman seal stones were carved in carnelian or in sard, which is another name for the brownish-orange darker-toned material. Sardonyx refers to chalcedony with alternating bands or reinforcements of white and orange that was favored for the making of beads.
The ancients differentiated between five types of sardion. Of first importance was the translucent male "blood red" stone; second came the paler yellowish orange, which was considered female. Third was the darker-toned brownish orange that we call sard. The fourth classification included agate with alternating layers or stripes of brownish orange and white, and fifth was blood-red stripes alternating with white. The first three types were found in all the best tombs.
Hue, saturation, tone
Regarding the components of color hue, saturation, and tone the modern value system almost mirrors the ancient. The dark red hue is still the most desired, although it is difficult to find a true blood red. Almost all carnelians will show some evidence of an orange secondary hue. Most of the fine carnelian beads unearthed from the royal tombs at Ur are actually a medium to dark orange to reddish orange. Thus, the finest quality might be described as a medium to dark tone (seventy to eighty percent) red primary hue (eighty to ninety percent) with an orange secondary hue (ten to twenty percent). Carnelian can also occur in a medium-toned (fifty-five to sixty-five percent) highly saturated visually pure orange hue. Highly saturated stones of this hue are at least as desirable as the so-called blood reds.
As with all chalcedony, diaphaneity plays a defining role in the quality equation. An orange stone with good crystal is more desirable than a red stone that is opaque. Crystal is the first C of connoisseurship in the evaluation of carnelian. Recently some medium-toned (sixty percent) highly translucent orange carnelian has come on the market. This material, reportedly from southern Africa, has been nicknamed "citrus agate" due to its pure orange primary hue and its high degree of translucency. Stones of this description will command the highest prices, despite the fact they are not red or even reddish.
Most of the carnelian currently on the market has been heat treated. Since ancient times, chalcedony has been subjected to heat treatment in order to create carnelian. Under magnification, natural color carnelian will usually show evidence of the thin bands called fortification, even in stones that seem uniformly colored to the naked eye; heat treatment will burn out the bands. Acid treatment produces a dark, dense, "burnt" look in carnelian. Treated stones are less translucent than natural gems.
Most of the gems currently available are heat treated or enhanced in some fashion. Much of the material available at low cost, in calibrated sizes, is undoubtedly treated. Calibrated stones are cut to precise proportions, e.g., round stones are precisely 5mm,6mm; ovals, cushions, emerald cuts, and pear shapes will be exactly 7x5, 8x6mm, etc. The aficionado should always be suspicious of calibrated stones.
The rarity factor
The real challenge may be in finding natural stones. The same problem is encountered with turquoise. Fine natural carnelian is available; however, it's much easier to treat low-grade material than to bother with the natural. This reflects one of the ruling dynamics of the mass market: that which can be reduced to a commodity will be reduced to a commodity. Natural gemstones are inconvenient because they don't occur in precisely uniform color, shapes, and sizes. This unfortunate tendency can only be accelerated by the coming of the computer age.
Distortions in the market can work for the connoisseur. Noncalibrated stones, those without precise measurements in millimeters, may be available at reduced prices. Natural carnelian can often be bought at a better price in carvings. If the collector is attentive, a gem of exceptional quality often can be picked from mixed lots of uncalibrated gems at a lower price than those found in calibrated parcels.

Ironstone is the normal inclusion found in chrysoprase. However, with the relative abundance of material, chrysoprase is normally cut flawless. Stones from Western Australia will sometime show small black dendritic inclusions. Any visible inclusions disqualify the stone from being considered top quality.
Color fading
Chrysoprase, like gem chrysocolla, has a reputation for drying out and fading when exposed to heat or a dry environment. This is certainly true for material from older European sources, chiefly Silesia. This seems not to be the case with material found in Australia; gems from New Marlborough and Yerilla are stable. However, it is still advisable to keep chrysoprase away from long-term exposure to direct sunlight and other forms of extreme heat.
The rarity factor
Since the start of the new millennium, high quality chrysoprase has been available in quantity and at very low prices. I learned long ago that abundance in gemstone is will-o'-the-wisp here today, gone tomorrow! Whenever a large deposit of any gemstone is found, the material floods the market, temporarily reducing prices. The operative word here is temporarily! Deposits, even large ones, are quickly depleted. A successful collector is an accomplished opportunist and should not be put off by a relatively low price. A fine example of chrysoprase is well worth collecting.

Given a consistent hue, saturation, and tone, the relative degree of translucency defines the quality grades in chrysoprase the more translucent the material the higher the price. In fact it can be said that crystal is really the first C of connoisseurship in grading not only chrysoprase but also the other varieties of agate discussed in this section. Translucency tends to decrease with size. The finest qualities of chrysoprase are often compared to jadeite. Chrysoprase, however never achieves the transparency of jadeite. Chrysoprase possesses a milky crystal, a characteristic of even the most translucent specimens. The finest jadeite exhibits a crisp, clean, limpid green hue.Posted on Tuesday, November 15, 2011 - 12:28
Chrysoprase is a Semi precious stone as it comes under the category Chalcedony, which itself is a Semi precious stone. The finest chrysoprase is usually described as apple green. It is sometime called imperial chrysoprase, an obvious attempt at a comparison to jadeite. It is a vivid visually pure green between sixty-five and seventy percent tone. The material from Marlborough Creek normally ranges from a visually pure green to a slightly bluish green. Gems from Yerilla may show a yellowish secondary hue. This yellowish secondary hue is considered a fault. Gemstones with even the slightest trace of a visible yellow secondary hue are far less desirable.
Gray is the normal mask or saturation modifier in the Semi precious gem, chrysoprase. The best of the Australian material shows no gray at all and can be best described as a vivid apple green. The general run of chrysoprase from these two sources is remarkably consistent in hue, saturation, and tone.
Another variety called lemon chrysoprase is found in Western Australia. It is a pale opaque lime green color and is actually not a chalcedony at all but a nickeloan magnesite.Posted on Thursday, November 10, 2011 - 12:42
Chrysoprase (Semi precious stone) is a green chalcedony that owes its "apple green" color to the presence of trace amounts of pimelite, a type of nickel. Chrysoprase is very close-grained microcrystalline quartz.
Two sources of chrysoprase were discovered recently in Australia, each producing, in substantial quantities, most of the material available in the market today. The first and most important source was a vast deposit found in 1965 at Marlborough Creek, Queensland. The second was unearthed in Western Australia in the Yerilla District in 1992. Material from Marlborough Cheek shows the purest green hue and is the finer of the two. Other sources include Brazil, and Kazakhstan in Central Asia, a legendary find, much of which later was determined to be green opal. Opal of a similar color is often associated with chrysoprase. In earlier times it was referred to as chrysopal.

Malachite and drusy quartz are the usual inclusions found in gem chrysocolla. Though technically inclusions, either can add to the beauty of a cut gemstone.
Inclusions and value
Drusy, tiny colorless quartz crystals growing on the gem, are the most sought after inclusions in gem chrysocolla. Although perfection in all characteristics tends to be the way the finest gems are defined, the aficionado should be alert to pleasing compositions of gem chrysocolla juxtaposed with inclusions of drusy quartz. Malachite, since it is green, is a less desirable inclusion, though it can show a pleasing juxtaposition of color and pattern in a vivid blue gem. It is the skill and sensitivity of the cutter that makes all the difference is such cases.
The rarity factor
Gem chrysocolla with the qualities discussed above is extremely rare. I might find one fine piece every few years. If a fine piece is on offer, the aficionado must be prepared to accept the price, or not have a second opportunity for many years.

Crystal in Gem Chrysocolla
Given the consistency of hue, saturation, and tone, it is the degree of transparency that defines the various grades of gem chrysocolla. This gem is never completely transparent; it is translucent. It is the degree of translucency that is the defining factor. The greater the translucency the more the gem will be seen to glow in the light. It can be said that crystal is really the first C of connoisseurship in gem chrysocolla, as well as in the other agate varieties to be discussed in this section. Visually pure blues with a high degree of translucency is more desirable than an opaque pure blue.
Gem chrysocolla is often cut in freeform (nonsymmetrical) shapes. Shape has little effect on value except that the more interesting freeforms may command a premium. Particularly translucent gems will some-times be faceted.

It is estimated that over eighty percent of gem chrysocolla is subject to a degree of color fading when exposed to a dry environment. This is particularly true of the Mexican material. As the stone dries out, the translucency and the color saturation of the gem are both diminished. According to Chris Boyd, a dealer who spends summers in upstate New York and winters in Arizona, and who has worked with gem chrysocolla for many years, fading is an issue in areas with an average relative humidity below fifty-five percent. His stone looks much better in New York than in the Arizona desert. Fading can be reversed when the gem is rehydrated by directly exposing it to moisture or to a moist environment for a short period of time.

Let's get one thing straight: there are some crap storylines in video games. Sometimes so bad that if you're in the middle of a game with a bad storyline while playing in front of a non-gamer, you almost feel embarrassed for playing it. But how important is the narrative of video games to the overall experience? 1UP has a little developer roundtable of sorts exploring the importance of gameplay and storylines in games.
From the article: "Games are all about the player experience -- about DOING things, not about watching things or hearing about things. And that means that a narrative game has to put the player experience first and the narrative second. However, left to their own devices, most players aren't very GOOD at crafting compelling experiences -- just as most readers aren't good writers, and most moviegoers aren't great directors. And that's where story comes in."
In response, the Slashdot community makes some interesting points. Said one commenter: "Depends on the game really. For 1:1 fighters, FPSes, and platformers, yeah, I like a story. But games like Tetris? Nah." And another: "Good gameplay can save a game with a terrible story. But a good story can't save a game with terrible gameplay." So how important are stories for games, and does it take a good storyline to review above a 9.0?

Not perfect, but it fulfills a need
I needed a place to keep a towel in both the kitchen and the bathroom and this works. It does slip off the door if you aren't super gentle so if you're in a hurry or just accidentally grab it wrong it falls off. It's kind-of annoying, but it is what it is.Read the full review >

Regin Malware In EU Attack Linked To US and British Intelligence Agencies
How will I explain this to my children (129 comments)
On NSA website, NSA states about their values: " We will protect national security interests by adhering to the highest standards of behavior".
So how NSA would be able to explain to a child that computer virus and malware represent the highest standard of behavior.
It is probably the same as stealing money on the street from slightly overweight person and telling him/her, that you need to lose weight anyway and that the robber cares about you. If questioned, street robber will counter stating that the victim should be thankful, because in other streets (countries) you could be shot for even questioning.
Is vulnerable and weakened by NSA encryption is also "highest standard of behavior", dear beavers from NSA?
