Everybody should play this game at least once a day. That's a fact.
I always like when I get a chance to do projects like this - total stream of consciousness as opposed to having something planned out - because I never know where things are going, and I guess I find that kind of exciting. If nothing else, I've found that it ends up helping me create things that are unintentionally funny. I'm just glad there are cool people like Mew who are willing to work with me as I constantly add in new things to these lil' games.
Maybe we'll do a sequel to this game some day... I don't believe the final chapter in the amazing life of Mr. Dinosaur has been written.
Also, I still haven't beaten that 2-minute challenge. Damnit.

since this is everyone's favorite game in the universe here's some i-mockery exclusive developer commentary
this game was coded over the course of 3 days, though we poked at it for about a week. for 3 weeks we didn't have any ideas. whenever i tried to think of something april fools related my mind automatically snapped to space invaders instead. i was really into space invaders in march.
the points were a last second afterthought that i added without mentioning. roger didn't actually see the final version before uploading it but i think he thought that he just didn't notice. or maybe he didn't care we didn't talk about it. it's equal to the number of medals you've unlocked and was there for people who didn't have newgrounds accounts to have something interesting to look at, though without knowing even a hint of what you were supposed to be doing to achieve them i figured a 12/12 would never happen. that's kind of a joke too i guess.
one of the medals was originally going to be to find the 3 shadowgate references that i added but we decided it was not something the average person would notice or care about.
the only artwork in the game that i created was the whiteboard drawing.
when opening the bathroom door the text reads "the bathroom room door is opened room." this was originally an error but i left it in there figuring noone would ever notice. i don't think anyone did i'm not sure.
the music that plays when you press start was intended to loop the entire time you were playing but it was so unbearable i couldn't test the game without shutting the music off. the looping was dropped before release.
the typo on the death screen was originally an actual typo, but when i questioned it roger decided to keep it to teach me a lesson in complacency.
i had a lot of trouble sleeping during the development period because i kept seeing fishhooks stabbing me whenever i closed my eyes.
here is a super walkthrough to get a perfect score and become the ultimate dinosaur.

Get Stained. Grass Stained!
"Sadly, not buying organic food is a mistake that you—as a man—can no longer afford to make."
As a kid, I used to love playing outdoors, romping around, digging in the mud, rolling in the grass, and building log cabins out of sticks. You name it and I played it: capture the flag, kickball, soccer, baseball, and basketball. My clothes inevitably became stained with the color of green. They were grass stains, evidence of my playful experiences.
The environment has stained our childhoods with fond memories of play, but we have rudely reciprocated by soaking it with pollutants, chemicals, and toxins. These contaminants have proven to be nasty and difficult to remove. They can be found in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and amongst the landscape we live, work, and play. It is time to get back to our roots and give back to our environment.
Norwegian Philosopher and Deep Ecologist Arne Naess once claimed that, "like humanity, the environment as a whole has the right to live and flourish." In the Road Trip Nation Manifesto, they state, "As a generation, we need to get back to focusing on individuality…Listen to yourself…Your road is the Open Road." In Kevin Caroll's book "Rules of the Red Rubber Ball," he writes about several life rules. His rule number four is "Prepare to Shine."
Now more than ever we understand that we live in a global economy and that environmentally we must take care of our Global Commons. What we do with our lives can not only influence our own community but can also have a profound impact on our world. These philosophies, these understandings, are the kinds of insights that help you inspire to imagine that you can be something bigger than you are.
Sustainability, ecological comprehension, becoming aware of Environmental Justice, and green tactics are just some of the ways we can reciprocate. Prepare to flourish, prepare your individuality, and prepare to shine because just as the grass stained my clothes green as a young boy, cities can also be stained "Green."
Welcome to GRASS STAIN. Feel free to romp and dig around!

Regan Smith is the 2008 Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year.
Such success isn't a guarantee of future success, or even a job.
Smith ran truck and in the Busch Series from 2002-2005. He got his first chance at the Sprint Cup with Ginn racing, which tried to mix older drivers like Mark Martin with younger drivers to build both immediately and for the long run.
That plan lasted a year, and Ginn Racing merged with DEI, where Smith ran through 2008. Once DEI contracted, Smith was looking for work. Furniture Row Racing came calling
Smith ran all 36 races in 2010. It was a first for Furniture Row Racing. So too was his first top-ten at the Daytona 500 in 2011. Smith hopes to use this success to springboard his team through the rest of this year.

As you drive into Colorado City, Arizona you can't help but feel blown away by the picturesque scenery. The mountain range is so beautiful; it's a shame that very few people have seen the area that is only a few hours from Las Vegas. It's no secret that visitors aren't welcome here.
Gary Tuchman and I have been coming to the FLDS town for several years to report on their leader and convicted child rapist Warren Jeffs. We've done stories on the way he runs the polygamous sect in the area also known as Short Creek. Journalists who have worked out there know there are challenges to covering stories in the area. The minute anyone from the media arrives, text messages are sent around the community alerting everyone not to talk with them.
The Marshal's office polices the town and is comprised entirely of officers who are members of the FLDS. They are loyal to Warren Jeffs and put his demands above the laws of Arizona. Nearly every time we have come, we are followed by officers and asked to leave or risk being cited. I'm not sure what they would cite us for, but they always threaten to do so and insist that we leave the area. We are well versed in what we can legally do in public areas so we stand our ground and continue shooting our stories, although the officers do their best to make it difficult.
People who have been kicked out of the FLDS community by Warren Jeffs, for a variety of reasons, tell us how officers stood by or helped Jeffs as their children were taken from them right out of their homes. They say the officers will enforce the commands of their imprisoned leader before protecting the rights of the people they serve and the laws of the land. It's been a problem here for years.
Recently legislation was introduced in Arizona to disband the Marshal's office because of their record of corruption and the fact that half of their officers have been decertified in the past 8 years. It sailed through the Arizona Senate only to fail in the Arizona House. Why? I traveled to Arizona with Gary Tuchman and photojournalist John Torigoe to find out. Watch tonight at 8 and 10 p.m. ET on AC360°.

Welcome to the backwards ways of AZ politics. It's a dam JOKE! Those 2 CLUELESS women in our legislator are what we deal with EVERY DAY. THIS is the type of people we have running our state. You can bet the majority of us here will be working hard to GET THESE IDIOTS OUT OF OFFICE in the next elections.
Sooo.. Close it down. Stop paying their salary... Stop paying for their vacations... You know - "we're downsizing and you're not necessary anymore".......... Easy.
That little world sounds just like the rest of this corrupt country!
As a freelance journalist who has been aware of the situation in Colorado City for almost four years, BRAVO to AC360 for putting the spotlight on this issue.

Is it yours too? Are you excited? I sure am. Christmas is barely one sleep away (it's 23.50 here in Jakarta) and I don't even think I'll sleep tonight.
Families, presents, pretty Christmas trees, Christmas masses, Santa Claus, abundant Christmas cookies and food; Christmas is magical, isn't it?
This is not a food-related post, mind you, I am just sharing the Christmas carol I took part in just very recently. Aren't the kids cute? It was so much fun, especially watching children's reaction to Santa, some immediately cried and ran away, others laughed and even poked his full belly. Cuteness. The carol isn't like the ones we see in movies of course, we have no snow here, and instead of candles they used light sticks. It was still really entertaining, though.
And the angels! I love those little lovely angels. One of the best parts of the day, really.
Anyway, I'd like to wish you and you families a very Merry Christmas, hopefully your days ahead will be full of love, fun and joy! Stay safe in this holiday season, guys, especially for you Sydney-siders! I heard scorching days were experienced? Stay cool and have fun!
Best wishes,

NEW YORK — Early in "Skyfall," Judi Dench's M pulls aside our embattled hero, played once again with suave ennui by Daniel Craig, and wonders whether the world still needs either of their services. As Bond wraps his head around that idea, he looks searchingly at his boss. "So this is it?" he wonders. "We're both played out?"
Questions about relevance dangle throughout the new James Bond movie, which opens in the U.S., after a crescendo of marketing, on Nov 9. Field agents are of diminishing importance in an era of cyber-spying and drone warfare, and the uniqueness of Bond's gadgets has been diluted at a time when everyone and their great-aunt carries an iPhone.
Yet as the film franchise turns 50 (yes, someone born the year "Dr. No" came out is now eligible to join AARP) themes of retirement and sell-by dates aren't simply screenplay fodder — they pertain to the franchise itself.
After strong early reviews and solid overseas business, the latest Bond adventure sweeps into theaters with blockbuster expectations. But even if the Sony release blows the doors off the box office like, well, 007 making a grand entrance, it can't hide what those who worked on it quietly acknowledge — making this movie was a more difficult and delicate undertaking than ever.
No longer is a successful Bond movie simply a matter of dialing up clever dialogue and dazzling set pieces. Facing a world that would be unrecognizable to those behind the early Ian Fleming adaptations, Bond filmmakers and actors grapple on many levels with how to keep the series fresh.
They must find ways for a tuxedo-wearing, martini-swilling protagonist to stay relatable while a global downturn rages. They need to project a contemporary degree of villainy in a world where the threat of Islamist terrorism is, for a variety of reasons, not as easily portrayed as the enemies and fears of the Cold War.
They want to retain at least a hint of gravitas after years of Austin Powers and Johnny English.
Maybe most important, they struggle with how to avoid what might be called the quaintness trap — staying relevant in a cinema culture that has seen the rise of splashy CG action movies on the one hand and modern truth-seekers a la Jason Bourne on the other.
"The theme of our story is that we have to question if the old classic things still work," said Javier Bardem, who plays the villain in "Skyfall," directed by Sam Mendes. "It's implied in every character in this movie. But it's also the question about the James Bond franchise."
New obstacles
For years, Barbara Broccoli, the longtime producer and steward of the spy series (total box office: about $5 billion), knew that she wanted a film for the franchise's 50th anniversary. "Bond 23," as "Skyfall" soon became known, was a way of honoring her late father, Albert "Cubby" Broccoli, who died in 1996 and was heavily responsible for putting Fleming's work on the screen. It also offered a third act in the Craig-led Bond.
About three years ago, with the blessing of studio MGM, Broccoli and stepbrother/fellow producer Michael Wilson hired the longtime Bond writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, along with "The Queen" scribe Peter Morgan. At nearly the same time they brought on Mendes, the British director of "American Beauty" who was in a slump after his young-marrieds drama "Away We Go" flopped in 2009.
Then MGM filed for bankruptcy, and suddenly everyone was frozen in place. (To avoid legal action from creditors, Mendes was retained off the books as a "consultant.")
"It was a nightmare," Broccoli recalled. "This was one of those situations that's really frustrating — when all the delays have nothing to do with the making of the movie." Craig's attitude was even more bleak. "I thought OK, we might have to say goodbye to this," he said in an interview in New York several weeks ago. "And that made me really sad." In the hiatus, Morgan left, replaced by the veteran John Logan ("Hugo").
MGM was finally reconstituted with new owners. But now came another problem: how to make Bond dramatically relevant again. The franchise wasn't just long in the tooth — it was coming off a disappointing entry in 2008's "Quantum of Solace." Craig acknowledged in the interview that the movie wasn't "satisfying." Wilson said that, after witnessing the critical reception, he thought, "Oh God, we really screwed this up."
A big reason for that was Bond's nemesis. During the decades that the series provided a catharsis for the Soviet threat, it was easy to put a face on the menace. But since the Iron Curtain fell — and especially after the attacks of Sept. 11 — that was a lot tougher.
In "Casino Royale," Craig's initiation, filmmakers used a clever work-around: They channeled the demons that would normally reside in the villain into the hero. Craig's Bond was grimmer and darker, which not only made for a compelling character but for some juicy zeitgeist stuff, Bond's beleaguered air matching our post-Sept. 11 anxiety.
In "Quantum," writers essentially opted out, creating villains and stakes that had little to do with the headlines (they involved a Bolivian coup and the arcana of water rights.) The film was rushed into production after the writers strike — "you shouldn't try to rewrite whole sections of the story while you're shooting," Craig noted dryly — and the results were wobbly.
This time, filmmakers decided to turn inward, to the question of intelligence agencies themselves.
"Ever since 9/11, there's been an emphasis on electronic intelligence gathering as opposed to human intelligence," Wade said.
"There's a feeling that you can cover it all with electronics and computer work, so that it makes a man who gets on the ground much more important, and yet under so much more pressure."
So "Skyfall" is about MI6, and Bond and M, and all their changing roles. In Mendes' telling, the intelligence service is on the defensive from a hostile government bureaucrat played by Ralph Fiennes. (Mendes declined to comment for this story.)
MI6 also faces a nefarious threat from Bardem's Raoul Silva, a former agent with cyber-skills who felt betrayed by M years before. Silva sports light-colored suits, a creepy blond dye-job and all manner of vocal tics. "This is a guy who's rotten inside," the actor smirked. "So of course he looks like an angel."
Maintaining balance
For many, the Bond series holds a place in the heart like no other. But nostalgia can be a distorting force.
To watch several 007 films in succession circa 2012 is to at first be entertained by the colorful array of toys and spies — and, not long after, to be numbed by their sameness. New villains emerge, missions change and weapons evolve. Yet it's striking how much of the basic structure remains, so much so that each film feels a little more like a fill-in-the-blank exercise, a kind of espionage-themed Mad Libs. (The movies' mechanistic dispensation of bad guys is matched only by the parade of bed-able women, a dizzying display of interchangeable intercourse.)
"Every time they put out a new Bond film it's a very delicate dance and could go wrong very easily," said Rick Jewell, a cinema professor at USC who specializes in Bond. "You have to make him seem powerful in the world we live in now but you can't just have him save the world over and over again on a whim. That's what got so ridiculous earlier in the franchise."
Bond these days also has another problem — namely, he can't simply be painted, with his high living, like an out-of-touch one-percenter. As Timothy Dalton, who played the hero twice in the 1980s, said, "Audiences love familiarity; it gives them security. But in the end it becomes self-destructive. You have to keep up with what's going on in the world."
No movie in the franchise struggles to maintain this balance as much as "Skyfall." There are, to be sure, some significant updates. A bad fate befalls a central character in a turn that one couldn't imagine in vintage Bond. There is also an unexpected exploration of Bond's youth.
And when Q, now played as a computer whiz by Ben Whishaw, finds Bond unhappy with a gun he's been given, he quips, "Were you expecting an exploding pen?"
Yet plenty of Bond touchstones remain: exotic women, casinos, grand human-stunt sequences (atop a train in Turkey, or high above the Shanghai skyscape).
Latest Entertainment
"Skyfall," which cost about $200 million, is gorgeously shot by Roger Deakins. But strip away the gloss and many of the scenes wouldn't look out of place in "Octopussy" or "Goldfinger." "I said from the beginning I wanted this movie to get the Bond back into Bond," Craig said. (Off the screen Bond is evolving in some interesting ways too, with the globalized economy finally catching up to the franchise's long-standing cosmopolitan flavor. In a bit of irony that 007 himself might appreciate, "Skyfall" is raking in the coin in Russia.)
There are no immediate plans for a "Bond 24," though Broccoli and Wilson say they would like to plunge back in.
But they and writers also know they need to be careful. "The bull's-eye for being original," Purvis said, "seems to get narrower each time out."

Report: Terrorists targeted Eiffel Tower, Louvre
France stopped a terrorist plot targeting the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre art museum and a nuclear power plant, it was revealed Wednesday as French authorities announced new measures for combating terrorism.
French police discovered the plot after decoding messages between a 29-year-old Algerian butcher living in southern France, referred to as Ali M by French authorities, and a man known to be one of the highest-ranking members of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) The Telegraph of London reported.
After meeting on an Islamist website, the al-Qaeda member asked the father of two for "suggestions concerning how to conduct jihad in the place you are currently," according to Le Parisien.
Ali M, using an encryption program, listed nuclear power plants, the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre in Paris and "planes at the moment of takeoff" as potential targets.
The al-Qaeda contact told Ali M that if he traveled to Algeria, he could receive military training before returning to France to "await instructions."
"I am fully ready and prepared," he replied, according to The Telegraph.
Police arrested Ali M in June of last year, one month before he was scheduled to travel to Algeria for his training.
The man's lawyer told Le Parisien that he had been brainwashed and that his arrest came as a relief.
AQIM is "an Algeria-based Sunni Muslim jihadist group," according to the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center. Some AQIM militants were involved in the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, that left four Americans dead, including the American ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens.
In 2009, AQIM claimed responsibility for the slaying of U.S.citizen Christopher Leggett, who was killed in Mauritania while conducting missionary work.
The anti-terrorism legislation being presented to the French Parliament would grant authorities the power to shut down websites they believe are producing Islamist hate propaganda, according to The Telegraph.

With Jeff Samardzija's "transformation" I thought it would be fun to find other Cubs player who have transformed this spring.
Joe Mather: With a .412/.455/.745 batting line through today, he's established himself as a completely different ballplayer. We know this because he's had 55 plate appearances and that's absolutely enough to know whether or not a transformation has taken place. Some of you are saying right now that he has a career .228/.283/.384 line so we should be cautious. Fuck. That. Now is a time to be optimistic about this young stud the Cubs have for the middle of the order for years to come.
Blake DeWitt: .289/.373/.422. With 51 plate appearance we can safely say there is a 100% chance that DeWitt is now an on-base machine. The type of hitter that the more intelligent teams put atop their batting order so the big guys like Mather can knock them in. Forget about DeWitt's .329 career OBP. That's in the past. New player.
Darwin Barney: He's slugged .639 and has an OPS over 1.000 and while the sample isn't quite as reliable as 50 PA, he's still come to the plate a whopping 40 times. We can see the top of the order taking shape for the Cubs of the future. DeWitt and his on-base skills leading off with Joe Mater and Darwin Barney hitting in the middle of the order. It's gonna be rough on pitchers with all these transformations going on.
Alfredo Amezaga: best Cubs number 2 hitter since Ryne Sandberg. That's what we'll remember Amezaga for. In 40 spring PA he's batted .306/.375/.361. He's young so he should slug more in about 5 or 7 more years. Still, that .375 OBP will fit nicely in the 2-hole and can leadoff when DeWitt is getting the day off.
Rodrigo Lopez: No pitcher in Cubs camp who started more than 1 game held hitters to a lower batting average than Lopez's .213. Among all pitchers who started a game only Randy Wells help opponents to a lower batting average, but he started only 1 game. Paul Mahol, Chris Volstad and Randy Wells were the only 3 who started a game who had a lower ERA than Lopez. We know this is for real because he's thrown 16+ innings.
Transformations don't always work in a way that leads to better production. Take Starlin Castro for example. He's transformed himself into a batter with a .283 OBP. That's in 60 plate appearances so you definitely don't need more information than that. Safe to say, Starlin Castro is the new Alfonso Soriano with less power.
David DeJesus. The following players have a higher slugging percentage than DeJesus's OPS: there's too many to list. Seriously. DeJesus has a sub .600 OPS in a league that has an average OPS of 27.000.
Matt Garza: he allowed 27 baserunners in 16 innings of work. I'd say he's probably going to struggle to remain in the rotation, but then I thought about the rest of the rotation.
There have been other transformations, but none worth commenting on.

By Karen Lightman, Managing Director, MEMS Industry Group
Perched on a bluff overlooking the Mohawk River in Niskayuna, NY is a powerhouse of industrial R&D; GE's Global Research Center (GRC). GRC just celebrated its 110 year anniversary. Thomas Edison's original desk is on display in the entry lobby to prove this point!
The Niskayuna facility is the largest of several GRCs. GE also has centers in Munich, Germany; Bangalore, India; Shanghai, China; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and San Ramon, California.
The history of invention and innovation that has taken place at GRC to create major new businesses was on display as we walked along the entry hall. Some highlighted examples include x-ray medical imaging, jet engines, magnetic resonance imagers, digital x-ray panels and a number of other world firsts. The Research Center in Niskayuna is one of the world's largest corporate R&D centers that conducts focused, strategic research and development. This is GE – after all – and GE has the demonstrated ability to identify new business opportunities, utilize its research capacity to develop the required technologies in collaboration with GE businesses, and then to grow these businesses globally. As such, the master plan needs significant R&D capability to back it up.
The GRC R&D programs are divided between longer term projects (Advanced Technology programs) and projects that develop technology for one or more GE products in a two to five year time frame. GE business divisions (i.e. GE Aviation, Healthcare, Energy, Oil and Gas, etc.) fund the shorter term, targeted R&D projects and researchers at the Center therefore have an internal business customer. GRC is responsible for meeting the needs of that business, and the businesses frequently visit the Center to review technical progress.
GRC has been conducting research in MEMS since 2002. The objective of this research is to create new MEMS components that are not commercially available and that enable a breakthrough feature or strengthen the value proposition of a GE product. One of the most impressive MEMS devices that I learned about at GRC is a MEMS microswitch – GRC researchers claim this switch to be the fastest switch that acts as a mechanical relay (vs. solid state, semiconductor switches). Through applied and focused R&D, the brilliant scientists at GRC have created a MEMS microswitch that handles over a kilowatt of power (240 Volts AC and 7 Amps). For its industrial applications (just for starters) this MEMS microswitch reduces the time required to interrupt a fault current (short circuit) from milliseconds (the switching speed of conventional circuit breakers) to a few microseconds (for a breaker made from MEMS switches).
It is equally amazing that these researchers were able to utilize a novel set of materials to construct the MEMS switches (GRC's "secret sauce"). The switch materials and the process flow are compatible with both silicon and quartz substrates, and it may be possible to fabricate these switches on completed CMOS wafers. The novel materials play a key role in enabling the fabrication of the robust, reliable and mega-power-conveying MEMS microswitches. In addition, GRC also does all the failure mode analysis, reliability testing, and most of the packaging for the microswitches; as well as most of the other MEMS they R&D and fab onsite. It's quite an impressive operation.
Chris Keimel of GRC presented an abstract on the MEMS microswitch at Hilton Head Workshops in June 2012. His paper created a lot of buzz; and as more folks learn about it I am confident that the buzz will turn into a loud roar of applause (maybe this blog will help; I can only humbly hope so!).
Beyond the research being done at universities and research institutes in the US and abroad, I can think of only one other example (in the MEMS field) of a company doing this level of sophisticated commercialization-focused research; Robert Bosch GmbH (and they are privately-held; GE is not).
But what makes GRC unique is that for MEMS, not only do these guys do the R&D at GRC, they also do the pilot volume fabrication. With their new expanded cleanroom facility (nearly 30,000 sq. ft.); they are doing amazingly cool stuff in MEMS. From what I learned on the full head-to-toe bunny suit tour that I had with fab manager, Ron Olson, GRC is fabricating both silicon carbide based power MOSFETs and MEMS for GE at an impressive rate. By no means is this a high-volume fab; but these guys have a sophisticated operation that is able to accommodate both the R&D and the pilot volume needs of GE's businesses in a single facility.
Lastly, no visit to the facility can be complete without a mention of the beauty of the place. It truly is gorgeous, especially in July (maybe a bit cold in January?). The rate of turnover at GRC is low and I can see why; why would you want to leave this place? You get to work with brilliant scientists, doing great commercially focused R&D, actually manufacture products and live in a beautiful part of the country. As Thomas Edison once stated: "I never perfected an invention that I did not think about in terms of the service it might give to others." Clearly at GRC Niskayuna, his legacy lives on.

Seeking out customer feedback and using it to build a great product is not a new concept. Great designers have been doing it for a long time as have great companies. The Lean Startup manual (or startup bible to many) talks about involving the customer while developing that minimum viable product (MVP): "The minimum viable product is that version of a new product which allows a team to collect the maximum amount of validated learning about customers with the least effort."
Where that generally leads people is straight to building a simple application that might not be sexy in its design but it is functional or a landing page about a new product that might not exist yet. Using Google Analytics and collecting email addresses along with some "conversion" points becomes what you focus on. However, if you forget to actually talk to customers as well you could be wasting a lot of time. Especially when you are moving past your MVP or have a product that people are paying for.
Live and die by automated metrics
Sales numbers and application metrics don't give you the whole story. Your sales numbers tell you that your marketing is working and your sales people are doing their jobs — especially if sales are going up and to the right. What those numbers don't tell you is if people are finding the product they actually want or if it is simply close enough that they want to give it a try. Application usage metrics might help you understand if people love your product or what part they love, but this might put you in a situation where you have to react instead of being proactive on your product. By the time you figure out that you might just have good marketing and sales people and the product is off the mark (it gets obvious when your churn rate climbs) you lose momentum.
Momentum is so very important for a startup, or any business for that matter. Talking to customers regularly helps you understand the metrics better, but taking customer feedback and translating it into product effectively eludes many because it is an art, not a science.
I like the "old fashioned" process of drawing out a prototype, spending time with who you think your customer is, listening to them and answering their questions. Automation can come later. If I want to collect the most information with the least effort I want paper prototypes and discussions with customers. I can't emphasize enough how important that first highly talkative but very loosely connected (socially) customer is (the alpha customer).
Once you have built something you can track all the metrics you want but I would argue you will not get good insight on your customer with automated measurements alone. Having sat in on enough usability studies over the years, I don't think that how people use something represents their interest in using that something, most of the time. By sitting down and talking to customers you build a much better persona in your mind of who your customer is and what those automated numbers actually mean.
Go back to the customer regularly
If you want customer feedback to be enshrined in your organizational culture you need to put a formal process around it. The established way to do this is by setting up a "customer advisory board" made up of your most feedback-giving customers. You can call it something else if you like but don't leave out the basics:
- Treat the customers in this group with the same respect you treat your board of directors. They are volunteering their time and providing invaluable feedback.
- Be as open and transparent with this group as possible. Create an environment where they aren't afraid to offend you about your product and be totally open with them about future product direction. If you feel they must sign a non-disclosure agreement to be comfortable with being open, ask them to do so.
How it works is really simple. You have a scheduled meeting at a regular interval, use your favorite screen-sharing conference application (Google hangouts work really well btw), and start listening to your customers. Take lots of notes, write a summary of the meeting and share it with the board members. You can use that to keep the conversation going via email between meetings. From there you can decide what level of participation and engagement works for you. It is a process to start using a customer advisory board well so ease into it and enjoy it.
The advantage of setting up something a bit more formal is that you are making a commitment to use it. The timing on doing this for a startup could be on day one as you build out your MVP. If you are a company with a product that is selling now but don't have a customer feedback process in place, you should certainly think about taking this step.

Scrub the potatoes, cut into 1.5cm thick lengthways slices, then cut each slice into 1.5cm thick chips. Tip the chips into a large saucepan, pour in enough water to just cover, bring to the boil, then lower the heat and gently simmer for 4 mins only. Drain, tip onto a clean tea towel, pat dry, then leave to cool. Can be done 1-2 hrs ahead. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Put a large shallow non-stick roasting tray in the oven with 1 tbsp olive oil and heat for 10 mins.
Transfer the chips to a bowl and toss in the remaining oil using your hands. Tip out in a single layer onto the hot roasting tin. Bake for 10 mins, then turn them over. Bake 5 more mins, then turn again. Bake for a final 5-8 mins until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
While the chips are in the oven, cook the peas in boiling water for 4 mins. Drain, then tip into the pan and lightly crush with the back of a fork. Mix in the oil, lemon juice and freshly grated pepper. Cover and set aside.
The fish can also be cooked while the chips are in the oven. Pat the fillets dry with paper towels. Put the 1 tbsp of flour on a plate and use to coat each fillet, patting off the excess. Pour the oil for frying into a heavy, medium non-stick wok or wokshaped pan. Heat to 200C (use a thermometer so you can check the oil stays at that temperature). Mix 50g flour, cornflour, a pinch of salt and some pepper. Lightly whisk the egg white with a balloon whisk until frothy and bubbly, but not too stiff. Pour the water into the flour mix, gently and briefly whisking as you go. The batter shouldn't be completely smooth. Add the egg white, then lightly whisk in just to mix. Try and keep as many bubbles as you can so the batter stays light. Cooking two pieces of fish at a time, dip them in the batter to coat, let some of it drip off, then lower into the hot oil using a slotted spoon. Fry for 5-6 mins, making sure the oil stays at 200C and turning the fish over halfway through so it is golden all over. Lift out with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper. Check the oil is back up to 200C, then repeat with remaining fish. Reheat the peas and serve with the fish, chips and lemon wedges.

Healthcare delegates on conference at The Hilton formed 15 teams eager to tackle the challenge of planting over 130 trees in carefully researched locations all within striking distance of the Hotel. Armed with trowels, watering cans and armfuls of dinky little tree saplings, the teams set off with a mission to 'give back' to the community.
Catalyst Teambuilding were keen to make sure Tree Mend Us had lasting impact. A great deal of time went into negotiating with local representatives to ensure the most worthy of causes benefited from our clients' direct action.
All credit to the energy of this group who worked together to plant all the sites in an incredibly short time frame. Many of the voluntary organisations they helped have to work with limited budgets, but the personal dedication of their members has had an amazing effect on their community and environment. Schools, Community Centres, Resident Associations and Feed The Homeless schemes were all very grateful for the groundwork this activity achieved.
With an increasing focus on CSR related teambuilding requests, Catalyst Teambuilding are committed to releasing more team concepts with a conscience! Keep an eye on our Community and Environment section for future developments.
For more ideas on how other activities in our portfolio could help 'give a little back' please view:CSR - Corporate Social Responsibility

New address here: Beach Peanuts
Beach Peanuts is fast approaching its second "birthday" and in honor of the occasion I thought it was time to relocate and redecorate. What started out here as a small "experimental" blog in May 2009 has been a positive one and because of that, it has outgrown the original site. Also, it was just time for a change. In order for the blog to grow, I made the decision to move, and I hope my readers will "move with me." As much as I like the old site, I think this one will be a better fit.
The original Beach Peanuts site here on WordPress will stay up as is, but only as an archive from May 2009 up to Feb. 24, 2011. All new posts will be on my new site here from now on. If I decide to relocate the archives from the old site, I will post a notice, but for now the old site will remain as is.
I hope you'll like the new site as much as I do, and hope that you will all "move" with me by updating your bookmarks and feeds to the new location: http://www.beachpeanuts.com/ I also hope you'll be patient with me as I get used to the new site and work out all the inevitable kinks that go along with switching platforms.
That being said, I'll get back to "tidying up" my new "home" so I can continue doing what I love to do, anything I can to help Florida and the Country turn back to "Blue!"
Thanks for your patience and I hope to see you all at the new site!

Death Lays His Icy Hand on Two Well Known Citizens of This County
Progressive and Leading Residents of Salamonia and Redkey Many Years.
W.P. Wehrly, one the oldest residents of Salamonia, and one of the best known men in Jay county, died at his home Wednesday morning at 7:05, of stomach trouble. For several years, he has been a sufferer, but his condition became critical but a few days ago. Until but a few days before his death, he was able to be out of the house. Hemorhages were the immediate cause of his death.
William P. Wehrly was born in Preble county, Ohio, November 3, 1845, being the son of John S. and Barbara Wehrly. He was a lad of but nine years of age, when his parents moved to Madison township, where practically all his life was spent. When less than 18 years of age, he enlisted as a member of Company I, 130th Indiana Volunteer Infantry, with which, in the Army of the Cumberland, he participated in many of the important battles of the Civil War. He was with Sherman on his march to the sea. Following the close of the war and the grand review in Washington he returned to Raleigh, North Carolina, where he was assigned to guard duty for a time, before being finally discharged at Indianapolis, in September, 1865. In 1866, he was married to Miss Olive Smith. To their union 15 children were born, of whom eleven, 6 boys and 5 girls, are still living, as follows: Martin, now in the U.S. navy, Henry, of Woodburn, Allen county; William H., at Portland; Blaine, Hartford City; Alva, of Salamonia; Harvey, at New Castle; Kate, wife of A.H. Andrews, of Hamilton, Ohio; Prudence, wife of Delbert Jackson, of Portland; Ida, wife of Ed Scholer, of New Castle; Ethel, wife of William Shreeves, four miles east of Portland; Barbara, wife of Cooper LeMasters, of near Salamonia. Two sons, Benjamin F. and Garfield, are dead. In 1876, he purchased the sawmill, in Salamonia, which he managed for several years. To his enterprise and manifestation of public spirit, is due more than one-third of the present buildings of the town, many of them being built under his personal supervision. For many years he was treasurer of the school board of the town and otherwise took a lively interest in its affairs. He was a member of the Christian church, where he always attended services whenever his health permitted.
The funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Methodist church at Salamamonia. Interment will be in the Salamonia cemetery.
Comment: William P. Wehrly was my paternal 2nd-great grandfather.

Residents of storm-battered Plum Island continued to buttress their seaside houses against erosion Tuesday, as two more damaged homes were lost to last week's wintry blast.
Doug Packer, an environmental official in Newbury, said residents are doing whatever they can to protect their houses against further damage from the gnawing waves.
"Some are using stone; some are bringing in sand," Packer said. "Many are securing portions and corners of homes and decks. It's a potpourri."
Six houses have been lost; at least 40 more are at risk of damage from continuing erosion.
Some of the fortification efforts, such as adding concrete barriers, are prohibited under state environmental regulations, which coastal residents have long criticized as overly strict. But Bob Connors, a Plum Island resident, said the extent of this winter's erosion has forced people to take matters into their own hands.
"Everybody that has a home that's damaged is taking action," he said. "People are doing whatever they have to."
The state's Department of Environmental Protection said it understood that residents were working to secure their homes, but that regulators would later review the reinforcements to determine whether they meet environmental standards.
"If the work fails to meet the standard, the [agency] may require work to bring the area back into compliance," the agency said in a statement. A spokesman said the agency did not anticipate fining violators.
Packer said he believed that state regulators "understand the dire circumstances" along the eroding coastline, adding that short-term efforts can fortify homes through the winter.
"We've recovered from it before," he said.
Jack Clarke, director of public policy for the Massachusetts Audubon Society, said "highly dynamic" barrier beaches cannot be held in place and that property owners are ultimately fighting a losing battle.
"The beaches will continue to migrate irrespective of what people do on them," he said. ". . . There should be no false sense of security."
Plum Island and other barrier beaches are not being washed away, he said, but are moving in response to wind, waves, and rising sea levels.
Clarke said previous efforts to replenish the Plum Island dunes with sand from the lower part of the beach, a generally banned approach known as beach scraping, can be counterproductive.
"It accelerates an already rapid erosion rate," he said.
At residents' urging, regulators have signed off on efforts to shore up the dunes. But in light of the recent erosion, environmental leaders say it was probably a mistake, leaving the beach more vulnerable to the surf.
"We feel it may have exacerbated the problem," said Bruce Carlisle, who directs the state's Office of Coastal Zone Management.
Packer, who said the dunes had been scraped three times in the past year, said the efforts have had some "limited success."
He said the state was allowing residents to bring in reinforcements for their homes .
Carlisle noted that this winter has been marked by a series of unusually intense storms, each of which left the beach more vulnerable than the one before.
He said patterns of coastal erosion are extremely difficult to predict and that the Plum Island system is especially complex. What is clear, however, is that erosion has accelerated after decades of stability. In the past decade, the beach has lost roughly 150 feet, he said.
"In the 1990s, these homes were hundreds of feet from the beach," Packer said.
Connors criticized the state for what he called a "let nature take its course" approach, but said he doubted property owners would face sanctions for trying to save their homes.
"It would absolutely be a political nightmare for the Commonwealth if people trying to save their homes were penalized for doing that," he said.
In all, 13 houses have been declared uninhabitable. The owner of one house demolished Tuesday was able to remove some personal belongings before the structure was destroyed, said Susan Noyes, assistant town clerk.
"It really wasn't [inhabitable], so he decided that rather than invest more money, he would determine what his next steps would be," she said.
Correspondent Todd Feathers contributed to this report. Peter Schworm can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Old Bridge Chemicals, Madison Industries and Madison Chemicals were established in 1962. Collectively we are major suppliers of copper and zinc compounds and solutions, serving a variety of chemical-related industries while focusing on a select number of products.
Old Bridge Chemicals concentrates on copper chemicals, Madison Industries on zinc chemicals and Madison Chemicals on USP and FCC grades for food and pharmaceutical applications.
We are the largest manufacturer of Copper Sulfate and Copper Carbonate in the United States. In addition, we are a major supplier of Zinc Sulfate, Zinc Chloride, Zinc Orthophosphate, Copper Ammonium Carbonate and Phosphoric Acid as well as other chemical products containing copper and zinc. Our basic strategy is to focus our expertise on a handful of products while producing a variety of grades. This allows us to provide the excellent service and consistent quality our customers deserve. We are a manufacturer, not a broker or distributor. We proudly put the American flag on every package we manufacture and sell.
Copper Sulfate is used in many different industries, including animal feed, water treatment as an aquatic algaecide, dairy farming, food and pharmaceutical processing and pool chemicals. Studies have shown the efficacy of Copper Sulfate for use as an animal feed micronutrient to be equal to or greater than that of other copper compounds.

An Chicago man was sentenced Thursday morning in connection with a beach party fight that turned deadly.
James Malecek, 19, waived his right to a trial and pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter.
A judge accepted the plea agreement, and Malecek will serve 145 days in jail beginning July 1.
Malecek punched Mt. Carmel high school student Kevin Kennelly during a July Fourth disturbance in Long Beach, Ind., in 2011.
Malecek had just graduated from Loyola Academy and was set to begin college at Texas Christian University in Forth Worth. Both families owned second homes in Long Beach.
A teary-eyed Malecek apologized to the victim's family in court, saying, "Mr. and Mrs. Kennelly, I never intended to injure your son, Kevin. It truly was a terribly accident."
But the Kennelly's aren't happy with the plea deal.
"He's been given a gift," Kevin Kennelly, Sr. said outside the courtroom. "He did it, he's been very lightly sentenced for it, he believes it was an accident, I don't know how anyone could believe that."
Malecek will have to wear an electronic monitoring device for up to three-and-a-half years after he's released.
Man Sentenced For Throwing Fatal Punch at Beach Party
James Malecek agrees to plea deal, will spend 145 days in jail.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 (UPI) -- U.S. adults who earn $75,000 a year or more are more likely to eat fast-food at least weekly than those making less than $20,000, a survey indicates.
For those in the $75,000-and-above category, 51 percent said they hit a fast-food restaurant at least weekly, while only 39 percent of those earning under $20,000 a year do so, Gallup's annual consumption poll found.
The poll, conducted July 10-14, found 8-of-10 Americans reported eating at fast-food at least monthly, while only 4 percent said they never dine at fast-food restaurants.
The survey also found more than 7-in-10 who ate fast-food weekly or more frequently said it was not "good for you," but 19 percent of those who ate fast-food once or twice a month said it is fairly or very "good for you."
Twenty-eight percent said the food was "not good at all for you," 20 percent said they believe food purchased at fast-food restaurants was "fairly good for you," while 2 percent said it was "very good for you."
Young adults ages 18-29 ate fast-food most often, with 57 percent said they do so at least weekly. Fast-food consumption declined with age; the percentage who said they ate fast-food at least weekly dropped to 41 percent among those age 65 and older.
Fifty-three percent of Hispanics and 52 percent of African-Americans said they ate fast-food at least weekly, while 46 percent of whites said the same.
The telephone survey of 2,027 adults has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

Urbana, Illinois
Use literacy skills to make connections among those in your classroom with this lesson that focuses on building classroom community by sharing favorite texts with one another. In this lesson, the class explores environmental print then focuses specifically on a teacher-created display on a favorite book. After exploring the teacher's display, students write about their own favorite book, genre, or author. Students then select one of several options for making a display of their favorite book to share with the class. After creating their own presentations, students share them with the class and complete peer- or self-assessments. The lesson presents a fun way for teachers to share their love of literature with students and for the students to get to know their teachers as a reader.
Comic Creator: This online tool allows students to easily create and print comic strips.
Multigenre Mapper: Students use this online tool to create multigenre, multimodal texts that include a drawing and three written texts. They can name the genres for each section, making the tool flexible for multiple writing activities.
How do we inspire students to share what they are reading with others while also sharing their emotions associated with the texts? By modeling! In their Primary Voices article, Joyce Dyer, Angie Lovedahl, and Tina Conley describe how they share their love of literature with their students. The authors elaborate, "Every year Tina is sure to read Tina the Ballerina to her students and tell them how, as a young girl, this book made her love reading. It had her name in it, and she loved it for just that reason and carried it everywhere. Connections are so important to readers. Joyce shares her connection to Charlotte's Web when she tells students all about the farm where her daddy worked. They had pigs there, she tells them, and of course they always want to know, 'Did they kill any of the pigs?' Questions like this set book talk in motion for her students. Angie likes to let students in on her responses to her "grown-up" reading." (29)
In this lesson plan, teachers also share their love of literature-first by decorating the classroom door and then by talking to the students about their choices and emotions. This modeling helps students as they follow in the teacher's footsteps.

Welcome Back!
The hologrid was taken offline several months ago, today we are bringing it back online. Nothing is here at the moment, but I will bring the content back in the coming week or so. I'll also get the old drupal theme converted into a wordpress theme so that we can once again enjoy the lovely work of Roy Veldman who created the drupal theme we were using on the old Drupal version of holodeck3.
The new version is up on WordPress and is a site network and there will be other sites created off of the holodeck3 infrastructure. We look forward to returning HD3 to its former glory.

Game 2: So…
…pretty much all of my complaints and critiques before Game Two were wrong. And not just wrong, but comprehensively, even spectacularly so. Not only was A.J. Burnett crisp but Jose Molina kept him focused, and the timing of Jorge Posada's appearance facilitated Pedro Martinez's exit, and it secured the Yankees' first World Series game win since 2003, and they head to Philadelphia in exactly the situation (1-1 with two southpaws ready to dominate Ryan Howard in that ballpark) even though I thought Sabathia would win and Burnett would lose. So I'll just shut up for awhile.

Re: your last sentence–Good idea.
@luisnbill – Re: Keith's last sentence, it's an even better idea for you. There are plenty of people willing to pay *Keith* to write, but the same can't be said for you. Even when Keith makes mistakes, at least his writing is interesting to read.
@keitholbermann – Everybody makes mistakes, but at least you admit to them. Actually, you're beating yourself up a little too much over them, if you ask me. "Comprehensively"? "Spectacularly"? Come on, it's not like you sank the Titanic, or anything. LOL!
But there's one BIG mistake I'd like to stop you from making: If you "shut up for awhile", the rest of us will never forgive you! 🙂
Hey Keith – don't stop talking! Nobody gets it right every time. Even the most unlikely things, the ones we least expect, happen. If people were only allowed to talk when they got everything right, you'd be able to hear the crickets in New York all the way from Florida. That's a whole lot of silence, right there!! 🙂
And it takes a lot of courage to come right out and say "I was wrong". Not everyone has that kind of fortitude or integrity. That's one of the hardest things we can do, admitting we were wrong, especially when you have people waiting to pounce if you so much as breathe funny (I won't mention any names, but one of them commented here). Of course, the part that cracks me up the most is that those who are least willing to admit when they're wrong always seem to be the ones who are the most willing to jump on everyone else. Reminds me of something… some saying about a mote and a beam…?
We all make mistakes – even me, and I'm perf… oh crap, I can't even finish that sentence without reflexively peeking out the window to look for lightning. 🙂
Don't stop doing what you do so well, please. I enjoy reading what you write, and I'm glad you're enjoying the games. If I were in New York, I'd be there in the stadium with you. Okay, maybe not with you, but you get my drift.
There are always going to be those who will snap and snarl at your ankles, no matter what you do… so grab some shin guards, and keep writing. Some of us out here will always have your back. You deserve that much, at least. Thanks!
That call you're referring to had me shouting angrily at the TV set. What really annoys me about umpires and referees (in all sports) is the way they'll have a conference, and then let the bad call stand. It's like the old saying, "One lies, the others swear to it." It's fortunate when bad calls don't affect the outcome of a game, but too often, such calls do unfairly cause a team to lose. That really takes the fun out of a sport.
Too bad umpires' jobs don't depend on the accuracy of their calls. It'd be fun to watch the year-end "lowlights reel", and see the worst offenders get suspended. Now, that's one reality show I'd actually watch!
I appreciate what you write but come on, spectacularly wrong? Burnett was great (thank god) but he can and has gone the other way.
I was hoping to get three more runs to "even" the deal but winning and beating Pedro was great.
I don't think you should shut up, predictions are exactly that: guesses. Whether you get them wrong or right they're still just guesses and in your case, as a Yankees fan, you were simply worried and saw those changes as perhaps wreckless choices by Joe Girardi to avoid disaster. Girardi has gotten them this far — whether it's in spite of him or because of him, he's piloting the ship.
Regardless (and you'll probably disagree with this) whatever happens on the field, strike out, home run, double play or bad call, it's all a matter of luck — good or bad. Or if you prefer, chance.
Jose Molina could turn out to be the Yankee hero this year — home many unlikely World Series heroes have there been throughout the years.
More importantly, (if importance can even be lent to baseball) how many expected heroes have actually come through?
"If you and your colleagues blew as many big decisions in as short a span, either you'd all be fired or your company would be out of business by now."
That's an old-fashioned sentiment only meant for the little guy. The Bush years changed all that. Reward the incompetent and stupid!
The Yanks avoided the sweep. See you at the Bank!
Hi Keith,
A non baseball related comment, just thought you'd like to see my homage to you.

A Sick Girl
Rory woke up this morning with a 101 degree fever. I shouldn't be surprised since for the last couple of weeks she's had the same nasty pneumonia-type cough she had a couple of months ago. In fact if she wasn't significantly better by tomorrow, I was planning to take her in to see Dr. H. Now that she's running a fever, I'll definitely be taking her. I'd call myself the worst mom on the planet again, but until this morning there's been no fever and despite the cough, she's been full steam ahead.
After a full day alone with her yesterday (that's a story for another day) and with the whole day stretching out in front of us today, I've seen my share of Tinkerbell and princess movies so I've resorted to sharing my iPad. In our family, kids only get the iPad in emergency situations and I'm thinking this definitely qualifies.
Becky and I decided that we were going to commit to the monthly favorite page about ourselves challenge (via Nettio Designs). I'm never a fan of scrapping about myself, but since I'd love to know these kinds of things about my own mom, I'm doing it. And while I may have scrapped this particular page twice in order to get it just right, I'm happy with the results. Make-up free face and all.

Towson Univ. to get rid of men's soccer, baseball
Students angry, hope to make change before final decision made
Officials at Towson University are recommending the school cut its male soccer and baseball teams from its athletic program, and many student athletes aren't happy about it.
In the announcement, university Athletic Director Michael Waddell said the plan is to reconfigure the entire Athletics Department to save money and stay in line with federal athletic guidelines. It would mean the school would get rid of men's soccer and baseball teams but reinstate the men's tennis program and add scholarship funds to other men's and women's sports.
Waddell said the changes would save the school more than $800,000 a year.
"We have seven men's sports, and three of those sports – men's basketball, lacrosse and football -- were sports that we felt were central to our mission," Waddell said. "The sports of baseball and soccer had both the participant count and also the financial attachment through scholarship and operating budgets to where their impact could help us achieve more of the overall, broad-based goals."
But many students aren't happy about the decision, including the athletes.
"We were kind of blindsided by this," said baseball player Dominic Frantantuono.
"I'm extremely angry and frustrated. It feels like it's out of our hands, taken from us for no reason," said baseball player Hunter Bennett.
Within hours of the announcement, a "Save Towson Soccer" Facebook page was put up, and it had more than 1,500 members.
"We want to just find another way," said former soccer player and Assistant Coach Billy Chiles, who said supporters are already organizing and hoping to fight the recommendations. "Hopefully we can gather enough voices and kind of voice our opinion and just kind of just say we'd like things to be different, and hopefully they're not finalized yet."
If approved, the cuts will go into effect after the 2012-2013 season. Current athletes would be able to stay under scholarship, but juniors Frantantuono and Bennett said if baseball doesn't stick around, they won't either.
"I would play for our team for this year, and we'd all stick together, but then after that, I obviously wouldn't stay here," Bennett said.
A final decision will be made in mid-November.

Susan Granger's review of 'Neighbors'
Real estate values can plummet overnight. Just ask newlywed Mac Radner (Seth Rogen) and his wife, Kelly (Rose Byrne), the anxious, sleep-deprived parents of Stella, their adorable baby girl. Just as they're adjusting to living a more adult life in quiet suburbia, they discover that the Delta Psi Beta fraternity has moved into the house next door.
Yearning to appear "cool" to the college dudes, the Radners indulge in friendly, welcoming overtures: a perfectly rolled joint, sharing magic mushrooms. But that doesn't stop the frat's president Teddy (Zac Efron) and vice president Pete (Dave Franco) from adopting a defiantly raucous, party-hearty attitude. So it's not long before the beleaguered couple must summon the police, which leads to a frenzied, ever-escalating neighborhood feud.
Visually inventive director Nicholas Stoller, working with talented newbie screenwriters Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O'Brien, stages an impressive bacchanal, filled with pranks, debauchery, slapstick violence and repeated jokes about smoking pot and penis size. It's far raunchier and less coherent than Stoller's previous comedies: "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," "Five-Year Engagement" and "Get Him to the Greek."
Comedian Rogen ("This Is the End," TV's "Arrested Development") makes the transition to parenthood, while Byrne ("Bridesmaids," TV's "Damages"), relishing the righteous, foul-mouthed repartee, deftly keeps up with him in the comedy department. Having long ago graduated from high school musicals, often-shirtless Efron grasps the unspoken, yet ominous reality that, inevitably, antagonistic, alpha-male Teddy will someday have to grow up too.
The supporting cast includes Ike Barinholtz as Mac's and Kelly's buddy, along with Jerrod Carmichael, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Craig Roberts as the frat boys. Lisa Kudrow (TV's "Friends") does her bit as the university dean who reveals that the fraternity is on probation with only one disciplinary strike left before it's shut down.
Even with some surprising cameos, "Neighbors" doesn't measure up to its grossed-out predecessors like "Animal House" or "Old School," offering several epilogues while desperately searching for an appropriately funny ending.
On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Neighbors" is an energetic, engagingly stupid 7, exemplifying outrageous, intergenerational warfare.

For the third consecutive year, "Mad Men" took home Best TV Drama.
What's to say? It's a great show, great cast, great writing, great clothes. It's certainly better than any of the others nominated in the category -- "Big Love," "Dexter," "House" and "True Blood."
Considering what a frothy mess "Grey's Anatomy" has become, it's incredible to think that it was the last show to win before "Mad Men" began its run of dominance.
