Weekly Photo Contest: Bokeh!
This week's photo contest is bokeh, which is just the common term for shallow depth of field. Everyone's seen it whether they know it or not. Popular examples are blurred lights in the background while the subject is in the foreground. It's typically a desired affect in portrait photography but has its place in other areas as well. Your challenge is to create bokeh in your photography in a tasteful and appropriate manner. And remember, post editing apps are okay as long as they are for iOS.
The contest begins today and ends Tuesday, January 28th at 10 p.m. Eastern time. Good luck!
It's also time to announce the winner of our last photo contest! And the winner is...

Beaumont/Port Arthur
How long has it been since you've had a good cry? Can you remember when you last shed tears?
Recently, a friend sent me the following note:
Q. This morning, there were five cars in my apartment parking lot that had broken windows. Our apartment has no security gates. Is the apartment responsible for the costs of repairing the cars?
It never ceases to amaze me how creative international cyber crooks can be. There are countless online scams and schemes intended to enrich criminals at the cost of innocent Internet users. We have all heard of viruses, worms, Trojans and other variations of malware, as published warnings have been disseminated since the early days of personal computing.
Q. I leased a home from a company and gave the proper 30-days notice. My last day was July 10, and I have not received my security deposit. I contacted the management company and was told that the house was sold the month before my lease ended. I was told to contact the new owner because my deposit was transferred to him. I have not received my deposit after forwarding my new address to the new owner. Who is responsible for returning my deposit?
We all like getting something for free. In the past, I have written about the thousands of free e-books from Amazon, Google, and other sources. A quick review of Amazon indicates that almost all currently published commercial books, including many college textbooks, are now available in digital format in addition to the bound paper versions. For all of the courses in my program at my college, the students have the option of using free online textbooks. Microsoft has now joined the free e-book club.
Q. I paid a company called TaxMasters to help me settle my problems with the IRS. I understand it has filed bankruptcy. What do I do now?
One of the most frequently asked questions I'm asked is how to download YouTube and other videos on the Web. Luckily, there are several free utilities, Web sites and browser plug-ins that make the process easy.
Ever since I purchased a new Vista-64 computer several years ago, I have enjoyed using several of Microsoft's desktop gadgets and Yahoo's desktop widgets. In recent years, I have written several columns extolling the joys of widgets and gadgets, and telling where to find them. Widgets and gadgets are small utilities that can be placed on a Windows or Mac desktop and provide the user with current information of some kind. Yahoo offered more than 6,000 free widgets, and Microsoft offered thousands of gadgets.
It never ceases to amaze me how much reliable and quality help is available on the Internet. One of my favorite resources for tips, tricks, cheat sheets and apps is the Web site at www.makeuseof.com. Hosted in the U.K. but with an international staff, MakeUseOf has established a reputation of excellence in terms of tips and tricks to improve our cyber lives, regardless of what operating system we choose or devices we own.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Aside from the hostel, my second temporary home in Singapore would be the numerous hawker centres located across the city. More specifically, it would be Bedok Food Centre since I stayed in Bedok. One thing I noticed was that many of these food centres are located close to the MRT or bus stations, which proves to be very convenient for transit users. Bedok Food Centre was located right next to both the Bedok MRT station and bus interchange. The perfect location each time I headed out.
Since it was a convenient for me and there were lots of things to eat, I've probably spent half my time in Singapore pigging out of this joint. From laksa and curry rice to sugar cane drinks and desserts, I became a regular customer to these vendors. My main motivation was to try what the locals were eating, discover new food, and get a feel for what I like and don't. I came out with two memorable items: laksa and durian cendol.
Each vendor essentially sells a few items and many offer different foods from one another. Having said that, I don't recall the name of the places I bought the laksa or durian cendol from, but I can tell you there's only about a couple who sell them. The laksa was $3.50 SGD and the durian cendol was $2.50 SGD. You can expect to see prices hover around that range. What made the laksa memorable were the tangy soup and slippery texture of the noodles. Topped with assorted shellfish, tofu, and veggies in a bowl of vibrant red soup and you have an appetizing, comforting bowl of hot noodles. Just make sure you find some.
The durian cendol was basically a regular bowl of cendol topped with a durian puree. This was a great dessert to be had after a bowl of hot noodles to cool off. There is a crunch from the ice, glutinous bite from the beans, and smoothness from the green jelly that screams happiness in your mouth. They have a regular version without durian but if you're a durian lover, you'll appreciate this dessert. Enjoy!

Shirley Temple was a child actress known for her dimples and curly hair. She played roles that portrayed her as an adorable orphan who fixed couples and softened the hearts of gruff men. She retired from films by her teens, but she still had various cameos on TV shows for years.
Because of her early retirement from showbusiness, a lot of people tend to think that she passed away a long time ago. She's actually had a long life and political career.
When she was 17 she married John Agar. Within 5 years they divorced and she married Charles Black. They were married 54 years when he passed away from a bone marrow disease. After marrying Black, she became a homemaker. She raised her daughter, Linda, from her marriage to Agar and her two children with Black in California.
After making her mark in television, Temple became active in the Republican Party in California. In 1967 she ran for a seat in the House of Representatives in a special election to fill a vacant seat. She ran as a conservative and lost to a liberal Republican named Pete McCloskey who was strongly opposed to the Vietnam War.
She was then appointed Representative to the 24th United Nations General Assembly by President Nixon in 1969.
After that, she served as the U.S. Ambassador to Ghana from 1974 to 1976 under President Ford. She then served as U.S. Ambassador to Czechoslovakia from 1989 to 1992 under President Bush. Today, Shirley Temple is living in California at the age of 84.

By Andrew Rudansky
A brand is more than just a name and a tagline, it can be an entirely unique perspective in which to view a product. With proper branding, a product can make our mouths water and our thoughts come alive. It can elicit desire and feed the senses.
For Lynda Sylvester, founder and owner of Sylvester & Co., the branding of a product can be just as important as the product itself. She, more than most, can attest to the power of branding and its ability to grow a small business.
Since Sylvester & Co. opened its doors in Sag Harbor 21 years ago, Sylvester said she has cultivated a unique brand for her store. Labeled as a "Modern General Store," she said she designed every aspect of her store so it will better communicate her brand to the customers.
"I have this romantic notion of the concept of an American general store," she said. "It's a destination, it's a meeting place…It's a community subculture, it's all about the heartbeat of the store."
The coffee bar in the front of the store, the display cases filled with chocolate sweets, the home products and furniture carefully laid throughout the store; all of this is perfectly planned. Sylvester said she puts her background in interior design and fine art to work in order to help communicate the brand she has for the store.
She said stores that design a point-of-view — "and the good ones always do" — can more effectively reach the consumers by creating an experience. As for her own store's point-of-view, she said it is "about a quality of life."
Her brand messaging is getting across, and in recent years she has expanded. Six years ago she opened a furniture store, Sylvester & Co. At Home, located at 154 Main Street, Amagansett. She then branched out last year and opened up Sylvester & Co. Savannah, located on 205 W. Broughton Street in Savannah, Georgia.
Sylvester said at the heart of all of her stores she tries to instill a feeling of "inspiration and adventure." She admits these concepts can be esoteric to the average shopper, but she believes the interior of the store communicates the message by itself.
The branding doesn't stop at just the store, but is used for all of the Sylvester & Co.'s products as well. Sylvester said the most popular product in her Sag Harbor store is her Dreamy Coffee; not surprisingly, she said, the success of this product comes partly from its effective branding.
"I think the fun thing about Dreamy is the concept of the dream," she said about the secret blend she has been making for 30 years.
While the name is the most apparent part of the brand, Sylvester believes that good branding requires a story.
"A coffee break, to me, is a pause button," she said.
This immensely popular coffee has made Sylvester & Co. as much a destination as any place in Sag Harbor, "a place to grab a cup of coffee and explore."
She added that while developing a concept for her coffee has helped sell the cups; it doesn't hurt that the coffee also tastes good.
"It has just a little chip of chocolate to it, it is slow-roasted, slow-brewed, it is very low in acid, it is very high in flavor and it is natural."
Branching out from Dreamy Coffee, Sylvester & Co. also introduced Dreamy Ice Cream last summer, as well as Dreams Come True Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Helping promote the brand, Sylvester & Co. started their "Dream Machine" campaign last year; converting a 1947 Airstream trailer into a mobile Dreamy Coffee dispensary that first debuted at last year's HarborFest.
According to Sylvester, the success of branding relies on the ability to make an impression on someone's subconscious. The customer loyalty then comes from an emotional connection created by the brand.
She said that from the outside, her business strategy of brand emphasis and community involvement might appear impractical for a small business owner; but as she puts it, "It's just way more fun to do retail like this."

Dog rescued from mobile home fire that leaves family of eight homeless
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla -- Firefighters rescued a dog Friday evening from a mobile home fire that left a West Palm Beach family of eight homeless, according to Capt. Albert Borroto, spokesman for Palm Beach Fire Rescue.
The dog was inside the burning structure when fire crews arrived around 6:30 p.m. and was rescued, Borroto said. The five children and three adults were already out of the house and were not injured, he said.
The fire was contained to the mobile home at 4090 Hibiscus Circle. Nearby homes were not affected by the fire, Borroto said.
The Red Cross is assisting the family with food, clothing and shelter, Borroto said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

[Disclosure: Emily and I do not get a referral for the American Express Business Gold card in the post as of the post publication date. Update: We do now get a referral for the card. As always, thanks for using our links!]
Update: Offer has expired.
Application Link: 50,000 Points American Express Business Gold Card (offer expired)
How to Fill out an American Express Business Card Application
The American Express Business Gold Rewards card is now offering 50,000 Membership Rewards points after spending $5,000 within 3 months.
This is a better offer than the zero points which is usually the offer on the Business Gold card. And it requires less spending than the occasional limited-time offers for 75,000 points which require $10,000 in spending.
I've written before that the 75,000 point offers are not worth the amount of minimum spending required (unless you can mange the minimum spending comfortably) because they take away from sign-up bonuses on other cards.
But spending $5,000 within 3 months is much more manageable! Here's how to fill out a business card application.
What can I do with 50,000 Points?
Here's a post on what to do with Membership Rewards points.
You can get at least $500 in air travel when you use 50,000 Membership Rewards points to book travel using the "Pay with Points" option.
The advantage of using Pay with Points is that you get lots of flexibility with booking your travel because you don't have to search for only low availability flights. If there is a flight for sale, you can use points to book it. You will also earn miles on the flight you book.
You can transfer Membership Rewards points to airline partners and then redeem for flights within the US, to Hawaii, and the rest of the world. The bad news is that most partners charge fuel surcharges on international awards which vary by the partner airline you fly on.
Membership Rewards airline and hotel transfer partners often have transfer bonuses, so you may be able to transfer your points to, say, British Airways and get 40% more points.
The $175 annual fee is waived for the 1st year and you earn:
- 3X points on airfare
- 2x points on purchases in the U.S. for advertising in select media, gasoline at U.S. stand-alone gas stations, and shipping
- 1X points on other purchases
However there is a 2.7% foreign transaction fee so don't use the card outside the US.
Who is Eligible For The Bonus?
The terms also say that the: "Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have had this product or any other Business Gold, Green or Platinum Card® account within the last 12 months."
You should be able to get the 50,000 point bonus if you have have the American Express personal Premier Rewards Gold and the Platinum card since the terms preclude only business cards within the last 12 months.
But you will not get the bonus if it is less than 12 months from when you cancelled a business Gold, Green or Platinum card.
Bottom Line
American Express seems to be running limited time mega sign-up bonus offers, but with large minimum spending requirements.
We've seen similar offers before for 1 day only, so it is nice to see this offer for 50,000 Membership Rewards points run for a bit longer. And with a more manageable minimum spending requirement!
Here's a post on how to fill out the business card application.

Koel Mullick – Exclusive Interview
Calcutta Tube gladly presents this exclusive interview with Koel Mullick - one of the brightest stars of Tollywood. We appreciate her co-operation. We wish her good luck and success in whatever she does in life. This is a summary of the conversation. Please listen to the exclusive audio coverage of the Interview by Shrabanti Basu.
[media id=58]
Calcutta Tube: You are in the industry for some time now and we all like your work. Please tell us when you first thought of becoming an actress. Were you inspired by your father?
Koel: I was offered roles in different movies when I was in High School. But my parents were very concerned about my studies. So I could not come into the industry then. A few years later, when I was in college first year studying Psychology Honors, I got the offer for "Naater Guru", a story by eminent novelist Samaresh Basu, and the director was Haranath Chakraborty, who has a huge reputation in making commercial films. It was indeed a very good offer and I decided to give it a try. I talked with my father and he said that I can go ahead if I am ready to take all the responsibilities. Working in the film industry requires one to take a big responsibility because there is always a huge amount of investment and hard work of many people involved in it. My father made me aware of all the responsibilities and the seriousness that I had to take as an actress. However, I decided to give it a very very good try and put all my effort into the film. But, when I signed my first film, I did not know that I was going to take acting as my profession.
Calcutta Tube: In the early days of your acting, were you still thinking of becoming a psychologist?
Koel: Absolutely. I completed my graduation and started my Masters, too. By then, I had already signed up for a lot movies. I was constantly working and it was becoming very difficult to keep up both with my work and academics. I had to choose either of them. Since, I had already earned my name in the film industry, I thought of taking it up as a profession. I can resume my studies some time in future.
Calcutta Tube: So, the atmosphere where you grew up in never made you want to become an actress?
Koel: Not really. I was never very ambitious. As a child whatever I did, I took interest in it and tried to do it seriously. But I was not exactly driven by ambition.
Calcutta Tube: Did the glamour world ever attract you?
Koel: Not at all. Even when people asked me if I would want to become an actress because my father is an actor, I strongly disagreed. It never occurred to me that I have to be an actress just because of my family background in the cinema industry.
Calcutta Tube: Most of the time, we see just the glamour side of the film industry. But I am sure it is a lot more than that. Would you like to share something about the hard work associated with the making of a film, as being a part of it.
Koel: From the point of view of a daughter who loves to spend time with her family, the first thing I would like to say is that we have to spend a lot of time outside Calcutta. We stay away from home for months. Then, what the audiences get to see on the screen is just the heroes, heroines and their co-actors. But there is a lot more going on behind the screen. The hard work of the director, the editor, the cameramen, the make-up men, or the spot boys remains unnoticed. We have to keep on working against all odds- we often have to work outside in the cold for hours without our warm clothes on, and cannot even show the faintest expression of feeling cold in front of the camera. We have to get up at 3 in the morning to get ready for the shots, no matter how cold it is outside, and probably work till late in the evening. We go through a real hard time when we are shooting for a film, often working 19 hours a day.
Calcutta Tube: Did you ever feel that everybody has high expectations from you just because you are the daughter of a very famous actor?
Koel: I have never attended any acting workshops because I did not know that I would be coming to the industry. If I had plans to be what I am today, I would have attended workshops. When I came to the industry, I was totally unaware of the technical sides of acting. Once I started acting, I gradually picked things up with my directors' help. When it comes to the expectations of others, I took it as a very very positive pressure. When I was working in my first film, my director was very very happy with my work. But after the release of the film, I realized that everything was going to be connected to my father. I was expected to do something good just for being the daughter of Ranjit Mullick. At the same time, if I had failed, I would be blamed as Ranjit Mullick's daughter. It was always taken for granted that I was Ranjit Mullick's daughter and not considered as just another entity who could be given credits or discredits just for being herself.
Calcutta Tube: Have you ever felt that you have not been credited enough for your hard work?
Koel: Not at this point of time. Luckily, I have gained an identity for myself. Also I looked at the bright side of it. It made me very proud that my father is so good an actor that as a daughter I could not really come out of his shadows. It was a very positive feeling for me and I tried to improve myself all the time. I really never felt any identity crisis or got frustrated. I have always been used to being called Ranjit Mullick's daughter all my life. And I am very proud of the fact. I am really blessed that people have lots of expectations from me, which indicates that I have the potential.
Calcutta Tube: In your early days of acting, how did your father help you?
Koel: My father does not believe in mechanically teaching acting to somebody. Acting is something that has to come out naturally. You cannot be really taught how to act, say the dialogues, move in front of the camera. It should come out spontaneously rather than someone constantly teaching you how to make all your moves. So, he did not really teach me how to act out my roles. But in those starting days, I always discussed my roles with him after studying the scripts, and we still do that. It is very important to choose a good script. I believe in doing selective work rather than working in a number of films. My father helps me in choosing the scripts and answers all my questions. Another thing that I do is, enact all the possible expressions in front of him and he chooses out the best option.
Calcutta Tube: What role do the acting schools play in that case?
Koel: Acting, like any other form of art like music, painting or dance, is an inborn aptitude and has to be there inside you. An acting school does not necessarily teach you how to act, but brush up your aptitude for acting, or teach you some technicalities. The other day I was working with Sohini Pal, the daughter of Tapas Pal . It was her second film. She has done a workshop for her first film, but has not been to any acting schools. But I could tell that the acting was coming from somewhere deep inside her. She has it in her blood. I do not mean to say that only the kids of some famous actor can only be good at acting. What I mean is the aptitude for acting has to be there inside you.
Calcutta Tube: How do you select your roles in a movie? Is it just the character you are going to play or the story on the whole - you pay attention to?
Koel: It comprises of a lot of things. You have to choose an excellent production house with excellent marketing capabilities. Else all our effort put into the movie goes in vain due to lack of presentation. Production house has a very very important role. The director is very very important. He plays the role of the caption of a ship. He has to direct every single person of the team. The script is another important thing. It is called the backbone of the film. I also need to know about my character and see how much I can contribute.
Calcutta Tube: Is your struggle in the industry by any means different than the others?
Koel: I did not have to struggle coming into the industry and coming into the limelight. I am thankful to my father for that. I really feel bad when I see that others waiting in the studio for hours just to get an appointment with the director, or have to prove themselves in every step of the prelimainary screening. I was lucky enough not to go through the preliminary auditioning round, which I think is the biggest struggle time in the industry. But after I entered the industry, there was always a quest to fight for the best. I think it is true for everyone, that when you are doing something you have to try to be the best. I don't know if I would call it a struggle, but I always wanted to prove myself the best.
Calcutta Tube: What kind of roles do you like to do the best?
Koel: I have worked in different kind of films. I enjoy doing entertaining films the most. The commercial films are called to be the backbone of the industry. At the same time, I have also enjoyed working in cerebral films. They may not the best choice for pure entertainment, but they certainly have an intelligent side. I think I have enjoyed doing both types of films. I love to dance around the trees, and at the same time I enjoy doing realistic type of films.
Calcutta Tube: Do you have formal training in dance?
Koel: I started my training in Odissi when I was just five. My Guruji is Srimati Sudha Dutt . I guess it has helped me later when I joined the film industry. My classical background in dance provided me with all the aids I needed in the commercial filmy type of dances. The classical training makes the commercial dance look more esthetic.
Calcutta Tube: What do you have to do for physical fitness?
Koel: I definitely have to be conscious about what I eat and follow a healthy diet. Work out is a must. It helps tone up the body.
Calcutta Tube: Please tell us something about your co actors and directors who have enjoyed working with.
Koel: I have worked with quite a few people and I have enjoyed working with all of them. I have worked with Bumba da (Prasenjeet Chatterjee) in two films, who I have known since I was a little girl. It was very nice working with him. Right now, I am working with Dev and Hiron, and both of them are very promising actors. I have enjoyed working with Jishu a lot.
Calcutta Tube: How do you feel when you are giving a shot with your father?
Koel: I am always nervous while sharing screen with my father. He sits there looking very serious and strict, a lot more than what he usually is at home, and tries to make sure that I do everything perfectly. In Tarun Majumdar's "Chander Baari ", my father and I played the father daughter role, and I had to request my father ahead of time not to scold me in front of everybody.
Calcutta Tube: How would you describe yourself as a person?
Koel: I am a very introvert person who is very conservative in her thoughts and honest in nature.
Calcutta Tube: What are your hobbies?
Koel: I enjoy drawing and painting these days. I used to have lot more hobbies in the past.
Calcutta Tube: Where do you see yourself ten years from now?
Koel: I will be gone from the industry by that time and will have my own family and kids. I see myself as a mother waiting for her kids outside their school.
Calcutta Tube: Have you ever though becoming a director?
Koel: Not at all. I am just concentrating on my acting.
Calcutta Tube: What about working in Hindi or other regional films?
Koel: I have got a lot of offers from Hindi films. If everything works out fine, I many work in the Hindi movies.
Calcutta Tube: Do you watch the recently released films or the ones you have worked in?
Koel: I make a point to watch all my films. It helps me improve myself as an actress.
Calcutta Tube: The movie theatres in Kolkata are now showing "Jackpot ". How do you feel as being a part of the movie?
Koel: It is an excellent blend of entertainment and intelligence. I have thoroughly enjoyed working in the film because of the unique blend. The balance between the entertainment part and the cerebral part is very difficult to maintain. I have enjoyed working with Koushik da (Director Koushik Ganguly ) and he has helped me a lot all throughout the making of the film. My character in the film is a very very unusual character that I have never portrayed in my entire career.
Calcutta Tube: A few years back the Bengali film industry was lacking audience. Do you think the trend is changing and we are having an increase in the number of audience of the Bengali cinema?
Koel: We are having more audience these days and they are indeed enjoying the Bengali cinema. Larger sums are being invested in the Bengali film industry these days. We also have better technologies than ever before. All these have added to the quality of the Bengali films currently made. I entered the industry just when this new trend started coming in and I have been here all this time and have been a part of this big change.
Calcutta Tube: Do you use internet?
Koel: Yes, I do.
Calcutta Tube: Would you like to say something about video piracy?
Koel: Video piracy always has a negative influence on the industry. Thanks to the cube digital technology that makes it impossible to make copies in any forms. It is going to put an end to the piracy. But, at the same time we all have to be conscious about the video piracy. The viewers have to stop enjoying the movies at a lower price from the video parlors. It makes the industry suffer. The illegal providers of the movies are not the only ones to be blamed, the ones who access them are equally guilty. The demand for the videos often makes the suppliers stay in business. It is a curse to the industry.
Calcutta Tube: Please say something to your fans at the Calcutta Tube.
Koel: You all have a wonderful life. Please wish me luck and support me for all my films. Please wish that I have a better and a more fruitful life and grow up more as an actor.

Yes, at a redbox! So I guess that makes their company slightly less annoying? I wonder how many people have rented it.
I too saw this. I have a Redbox kiosk about three blocks from my place, so I go occasionally to pick up something I might have missed. Last night I got Winter's Bone. If you think Redbox is annoying, you might consider that they've been the final nail in Blockbuster's coffin. Who in their right mind is going to pay $5 for a movie when they could go to Redbox and get the same movie for $1? At this point, Blockbuster has lost the mail service market to Netflix, and they are so far behind Redbox for the automated kiosk that they might as well not try.
So many redbox mom-families are going to get so frustrated.
I'm really glad that Sony Pictures Classics picked up this movie and gave it such wide distribution. It was a bizarre yet wonderful experience to go see an Alain Resnais film at my local multiplex.
Or enlightened?
My misanthropy is continually at war with my optimism. Occasionally I'll arm one with a mace to make things more interesting. Those things really hurt.
Hopefully this is a start of a full on indie invasion and annexation of Redbox…
Something like this, Hou?
Well, don't get too excited yet, people; Redbox has also started renting video games. Also, they still put out those weird cartoons of Super Mario and Sonic.
Red Box is where I rent my wife movies, since I hog the Netflix account. I'm actually very surprised they have Wild Grass at all.
But if you're ever in the mood for Octopus Vs. Megashark, Redbox is your go-to spot.

Two competitors, one from Japan and another from the United States, face off against each other for the final matchup of the world championships at Las Vegas. Both have brought their own weapons to the stage; fighting sticks set in a flat panel studded with buttons and polished with long hours of steady practice and sacrifice.
As the fight begins, they each know that only one of them will walk away as the victor. That night, all of their hard work will be put to the test in the space of only a few minutes.
Another Evo2K has come and gone, but it was also one of the most exciting bouts ever to tear across the 'net with plenty of anguish-filled defeats and thrilling comebacks. To those that only see a bunch of guys playing video games, one look at the videos being broadcast live from the Rio in Las Vegas filled with thousands of cheers and jeers easily demonstrate that those that have come to watch are as every bit as passionate as any other fan.
Fighting games have undergone a stunning revival in the last few years with Street Fighter IV, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and Mortal Kombat setting the pace. And thanks to today's high-tech arena and years of effort in getting that ever so valuable netcode just right, players have turned the globe into their own personal arcade, pitting their skills against each other as they used to years ago when spots were reserved by placing your token on the cabinet.
And at Evo2K this year, the crowd has only gotten larger and the excitement even more infectious. I don't even play fighting games, but in watching players from every walk of life take part (anyone can sign up and play, even an eight year old named Noah who lit the screen up with incredible skill), I couldn't help but cheer for my share of underdogs and sit in stunned disbelief when Japan's Daigo "the Beast" Umehara was knocked out into fourth place by Korea's own superchamp, Poongko, otherwise known as "the Machine".
Watching these pros move their characters across the screen was like watching a ballet of sight and sound with every move, dodge, block, and feint as both players tried to read into what their opponent would do next. Some wore poker faces, others brought their own music to block out the world, and one or two would even do a little dance with their fists in the air or their body moving to the motion of their character onscreen. Some would bury their faces in their hands after losing a round. Others would just walk as quickly as possible from the stage in bitter disappointment.
The final fight for the Street Fighter IV crown went to Japan's Fuudo who defeated Brokentier Latif (Brokentier is the team that Latif plays for), who had himself defeated Poongko in another stunning upset. Though Street Fighter was a huge focus for many, Evo2K had also held contests for Mortal Kombat, Blazblue, and Tekken 6 to crown the champs for each of those as well.
It wasn't all fighting games, either. Panels were also held over the three days of Evo2K's action, Namco Bandai had also shown off a little Soul Calibur 5 action to the crowd, and a few screeners were also present to help the crowd decompress. Capcom's Seth Killian had also come down to help with the great commentary from the Evo2K crew, but in the end it was clear that the winners were not only those that flew thousands of miles to be there, but everyone who could be a part of it either by being in the crowd or watching it online.
It's one thing to think of video games as "pushing buttons and sticks" to do stuff onscreen. But when events like these can level the playing field and invite anyone to join in where even an eight year old with enough skills can get the crowd behind him, it's even harder to turn as much of a blind eye to that kind of awesome.
If you're interested in reading up more on Evo2K and the fighting game circuit in general, you can hit up their official site along with Shoryuken which has all the latest including pics such as those above.

Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted even he would not be immune from the ire of supporters should things start going wrong for Manchester United.
Ferguson faces another of his former players on Sunday when Alex McLeish brings his injury-hit Aston Villa side to Old Trafford looking for the victory that would almost certainly secure their Premier League status after a miserable run of form.
"I think so, yes," said Ferguson, when asked whether the abuse McLeish has received could happen anywhere. "It is a change in society."

Four Points Hotel is seen in Beirut, Lebanon, Wednesday, March 28, 2012. (The Daily Star/Hasan Shaaban)
BEIRUT: Occupancy at Beirut's top-end hotels fell to 54 percent in 2012, compared to 58 percent last year, according to the Ernst & Young Middle East hotel benchmark survey.
The decline was the steepest among 19 markets in the MENA region, where the average occupancy rate increased 3.7 percent. Beirut hotels' occupancy rate was the fourth lowest in the region.
The average occupancy rate at Beirut hotels reached its lowest in July 2012 at 34 percent before recovering to 52 percent in December.
The survey said that the average rate per room at Beirut hotels was $193 in 2012, ranking the capital's hotels as one of the least expensive in the region. The average rate per room decreased 13.3 percent year-on-year, posting the second steepest decrease among all markets in the region.
Revenues per available room in 2012 stood at $106, down from $131 in 2011, a 19.1 percent decrease year-on-year, compared to an increase of 3.6 percent across the region, putting Beirut in 11th place regionally.
The hotel benchmark report provides a monthly performance overview of leading hotels in the Middle East, including international branded and operated properties across the five-star and four-star segments.
The Lebanese Hotel Owners Association estimates sector-wide occupancy rates in 2012 was below 40 percent as hotels outside the capital saw a steep decline in activity.

A week ago we rode to Bet Shean in the the east This is a very anciant city that is mentiond in the book of Joshua and in the 1st book of Samuel ws the city were the body of King saul was presented after he lost the battle on mount Gilboa. The whole city has been dug and is quite amazing to walk through ( though it is from a later period , Roman and mostly Bizantine). They have created a light and sound spektical that really allowes one to walk around and get a feeling that there is still a living city around you with all it's hussle and bustle
P.S As my wife and I were in New Zealand in 2003 (Mostly the south island) I can tell you with some confidance that NZ is really unique

Russia's ballet tradition is the nation's pride and joy, just as it is a legend in the West. The best dancers from Russia's top theaters – Moscow's Bolshoi and St Petersburg's Mariinsky – have given a performance in Madrid, crowning the Russia-Spain cross
The stars of Russia's ballet schools, including the Bolshoi Theater's prima ballerina, Svetlana Zakharova, Mariinsky prima Viktoria Tereshkina and Mariinsky soloist Semen Chudin, performed fragments of such iconic productions as Carmen, Taras Bulba and Don Quixote.
The gala show took place on Monday evening in the Teatro Real and was attended by King Juan Carlos I of Spain, his spouse, Queen consort Sofia, and the wife of the Russian president, Svetlana Medvedeva.
The ballet gala closed the extensive program of the Russia-Spain cross-cultural year, which has seen over 350 events in the two countries. The most significant were of course the tour of the jewels of the Prado Museum to the Hermitage, and vice versa.
"We have never seen so many cultural exchange events before as we have had this year," Ria Novosti quoted the organizers of the show as saying. "Citizens of our states got a unique opportunity to get to know the other country, to enrich their knowledge about it, to understand its history and culture better."

Buffalo, NY (PRWEB) April 26, 2013
VoIP Supply is featuring the latest IP Paging devices from three of the top paging and intercom manufacturers to help schools modernize their emergency notification methods.
The abilities of new IP Paging systems from CyberData, Valcom, and Advanced Network Devices (AND) are not limited like traditional analog systems:
IP Paging goes beyond just bringing voice to groups of people. IP Paging also includes IP Clocks, IP digital signage boards, and an array of IP Speaker choices to round out a unified message.
One of the best things about network-based, IP paging devices is what's called "targeted messaging."
When used in together with paging management software, users have the control to send messages, sound or text, to one device, a handful of devices, or all IP paging devices on a network.
IP paging management software from Advanced Network Devices, for example, offers a "Security Guard" mode which can monitor live sound in remote rooms. Users will hear the disturbance before seeing it, providing the option to investigate if necessary.
Many IP paging devices work with 3rd party software such as Informacast, Cisco Call Manager, SA-Announce, and others.
There are a couple of ways that schools can realize budget savings by using existing speakers from an old analog paging system while gaining enhanced IP paging features from a partial systems upgrade.
School paging systems use a variety of speakers including ceiling, wall, or horn models. When needed, they can be upgraded to something like Valcom IP Paging Speakers, manufacturer of the industry's first IP loudspeaker and the first PoE loudspeaker.
But if the old speakers still work, why replace them? CyberData offers simple solutions to incorporate them into an IP paging solution:
"IP paging expands intercom and notification systems in the way that VoIP provided so many new features to our phones," said Garrett Smith, Chief Marketing Officer at VoIP Supply. "Schools can easily leverage IP paging systems by combining them with their existing IP voice and data networks while gaining powerful features like mass notification for emergency situations."
For more information about IP paging systems for schools available from VoIP Supply, please call 800-398-8647 or, visit http://www.voipsupply.com/paging.

Bowmouth Guitar Shark
Known as a Ray Shark, the Bowmouth Guitar Shark is highly distinctive with a wide thick body, a blunt snout and a large shark-like dorsal and tail fins. There are multiple thorny ridges over its head and back, and it has dorsal color pattern of many white spots over a bluish gray to brown background, with a pair of prominent markings over the pectoral fins.
Bowmouth Guitar Sharks prefers sandy or muddy flats and areas adjacent to reefs, where they hunts for crustaceans, molluscs, and bony fishes. They are widely distributed in the tropical Indian and Pacific Oceans.
They are typically encountered on or near the bottom of the sea bed, though on occasion they may be seen swimming well above it. They generally are more active swimmers at night.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has assessed this species as Vulnerable; its sizable pectoral fins are greatly valued as food and it is widely caught by artisanal and commercial fisheries.

text: Daniel Sternfeld was born in Antwerp on 27 November 1905. His early musical training was at the Royal Conservatory of Flanders in Antwerp, taking private lessons with Renaat Veremans and Paul Gilson. He then studied conducting with Frank van der Stucken, completing his studies at the Mozarteum in Salzburg with Bernard Paumgartner, Clemens Krauss and Herbert von Karajan. In 1938 he was appointed principal conductor of the Royal Flemish Opera, which he left in 1948 for the Belgian Radio Symphony Orchestra in Brussels, serving initially as associate conductor, and then from 1957 to 1970, as principal conductor, in addition to his work with many foreign orchestras. In his writing a clear evolution can be traced from the high Romantic tradition, by way of the chromaticism of Wagner and the sonority of Mahler and Richard Strauss to a measured lyric expressionism. Daniel Sternefeld died in Ukkel on 2nd June 1986.

A national healthcare company made headlines in February when representatives of that company announced they'd no longer sell tobacco products. On the heels of that announcement, CVS, which has also changed its name to CVS Health, made good to that promise and did so about a month early.
Starting in October, you won't find any tobacco products at a chain of national pharmacy stores. That's according to an announcement made by CVS Caremark today.
CVS Caremark pharmacies will phase out tobacco in U.S. retail stores by Oct. 1, officials announced Wednesday

The Reprimand
Frère found great success with his depictions of children, in rustic village interiors, engaged in various activities—school lessons, domestic chores, and games with siblings or friends. In both of these images, Frère presents his small subjects sympathetically, adopting their low vantage points. While the young girl diligently sits beside the stove with her ladle at the ready to stir the soup or stew, the boy in the schoolroom sulks after a scolding from his teacher, with the discarded book offering a clue to the cause of his punishment.

In a bid to reduce the increasing number of child abuse cases in the country, legislators have re-affirmed their commitment to have the Children's Act amended.
The Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga, in a speech delivered on her behalf by Betty Amongin (Oyam County MP) said that the Children's Act in its current form is not empowered enough to fight child abuse in the country.
"There are a number of cases that are not highlighted in the Act and this makes it hard for the law enforcers to punish the perpetrators as they continue roaming in the communities," said Kadaga.
The piece of legislation will emphasize such cases as incest and defilement which are currently on the rise as relatives and guardians continue to take advantage of children in their care.
Process of reform is already on-going after which reforms will be enacted into law that will form a basis for the fight against child abuse.
Also, the house plans to amend the Witchcraft Act, which it finds outdated, to fit in the current settings.
This was revealed during the Stakeholder's Open Day in preparation for the Day of the African Child which was held at the CHOGM grounds in Kampala on Tuesday organized by the National Council for Children (NCC).
Children from areas practicing Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) delivered emotional testimonies at the event.
Most of them revealed the torture and pain they go through as parents try to have them circumcised.
"I had to run away from home to a nearby school as my father insisted that I had to be circumcised and get married so he could get cows," said a 13-year-old girl from Amudat.
Tete Chelangat Everline, who is Woman MP Bukwo county, noted that a number of challenges stand in the way of fighting FGM, especially in her district.
"These areas are very inaccessible with no communication networks as radios, TVs and newspapers, so people do not even know that a law was passed against FGM," she revealed.
Nnabagereka of Buganda Sylvia Nagginda, in her speech read by Buganda Minister for Gender and Community Development, Christine Mugerwa Kasule, called on traditional leaders to use positive aspects in their cultures to save children from violence.
"In implementing policies against child abuse, the communities should be engaged from the onset so that they do not view these attempts as an attack on their traditions," said Naginda.
The public was also urged against giving money to children on the streets as this instead encourages them to remain there.

Learn more about The Dark Tower:
|From the Publisher:
The most anticipated book in Stephen King's legendary career, The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower is the final installment to the bestselling author's epic series-a story that began thirty-three years ago with The Gunslinger and has gathered millions of ardent fans since Donald M. Grant published a limited edition of that first volume in 1981.
This volume completes the quest of Roland Deschain, the last gunslinger in a world which has "moved on." Like the first book in the series, the last is beautifully illustrated by famed fantasy artist Michael Whelan. And with the same mix of triumph and loss that made Wolves of the Calla a runaway bestseller, The Dark Tower tracks Roland towards his ultimate goal, the tower itself-the center of all time, all place. But this time, as Roland's ka-tet moves through The Dixie Pig in New York City to Algul Siento in End-World, the losses come from within his circle of companions. His antagonists, from Mia's chap Mordred to the force of evil known as the Crimson King, grow more desperate. In the final stage of his search, Roland needs one more ally, a last key to gain entry to the tower. What awaits him there, at the tower's very top, is a mystery sure to awe King's legions of devoted fans.
With Stephen King's unparalleled storytelling power, and with interest in fantasy at an all-time high, the release of The Dark Tower will be the most exciting publishing event of the year.
This seventh DARK TOWER book is the long-awaited conclusion to Stephen King's epic horror/dark fantasy/post-apocalyptic SF series, wrapping up the adventures of gunslinger Roland of Gilead and his companions as they fulfill their quest to locate the Dark Tower, a structure vital to the stability of all the worlds.
"...[A] tale of epic proportions....[Readers] will find their loyalty toward the series' creator richly rewarded....[A] closer look at the brilliant complexity of his Dark Tower world should explain why this bestselling author has finally been recognized for his contribution to the contemporary literary canon. With the conclusion of this tale, ostensibly the last published work of his career, King has certainly reached the top of his game." (starred review) 08/30/2004

Ya, seems like Aldatov's getting worse. Also pretty pinnable for a world champion.
Joe Warren vs Albiev, who must have been in high school at the time (he's still real young, right?) You can definitely see why Warren's well suited for MMA; very physical match. I also think that if he came back to wrestling he could win another world title, his strength seems to be from his feet rather than the clinch.
a well-known, intense match... Warren vs Bedinadze world final.

Warren vs Aripov, 2006 worlds. I've never really watched Joe Warren matches before, and I must say I'm impressed.

Lester vs Mansurov, 2006 worlds. I remember a lot of people saying that Lester got the match taken from him when they blew the whistle while he had Mansurov on his back... watching it, though, I gotta say it looked like Mansurov was back on his stomach when the whistle blew. There's no doubt every close call went in Mansurov's favor but I don't think Harry was screwed over quite as royally as some allege.
Regardless, great match. Awesome counters by both athletes in the first.

vs Khodaee
vs Sajidov, world finals
vs Romero, Olympic semis
vs Moon, Olympics finals
I noticed that despite Sanderson's supposed suckitude on the ground, he manages to score ground points on two of these world medallists (3 if you count the chintzy 2-2 call vs Sajidov). He also got exposure points on Gatsalov when they wrestled and Fullhart in their final Olympic trials match.
23 points scored in this wide open world semifinal match between Tushishvili and Garzon.

Classic Matches Part 2
These are for the most part well-known, but well worth seeing again.
Cejudo vs Simmons, 2007 US Nationals finals
Slay vs Saitiev, 1996 Olympics
Batirov vs Abas, 2000 Olympic finals
Shahin vs Garzon, CSKA cup. Shahin proves again that he's the ultimate "clutch" wrestler, he often looks overmatched physically but he finds ways to get it done.
Full match of 74 kg Olympic finals, Saitiev vs Tigiev. In addition to all the great storyline, the match itself rocked.

Olympic semifinal, Terziev vs Satiev. Dunno what Terziev did to piss Saitiev off
Kurtanidze vs Heidari, world championships. I'm sure the rest of the match can be found somewhere but this is the fun part.
Some Erik Larkin matches under the old rules:
great comeback vs TJ Williams using ground technique
back and forth match vs Frayer

Muradov vs Adam Saitiev. A pretty bizarrely wrestled match ends with an awful non-call to give Saitiev the controversial win.
Moon vs Sajidov, Olympic semis. Gotta love that trapped arm gut wrench!
saitiev vs. muradov is a really interesting match! very unorthdox technique at the highest level of competion and yet it is exacuted so efficiently

You can find directions, weather, games, news, count calories, keep tabs on flights / friends, transfer files, archive messages, get updates on your daily schedule and more. Most of these capabilities are also free. If you want to learn more about how to utilize texting to simplify your life go to textingadvice.com. I wrote an article about "How to utilize text messaging to simplify your life."
Tip #7 - Be aware of your phone bill and downloads - I just had a friend that paid a $214 phone bill. This was because he didn't have an unlimited texting plan. He also downloaded a few ring tones and programs. This type if bill is completely unnecessary and a lot of people fork over this kind of money because they are not aware about what's going on.
The other subject you need to be aware of is the random monthly charges that texting companies try to suck you into. These companies use myspace, facebook to get your number or they get your number from some other way and try to hook you into confirming a monthly charge for there dumb service. Don't give your number over the web to random websites and never text "Y" to any random number (that usually mean yes to charge a fee.) Rule of thumb: Don't download anything onto your phone that your computer can do, get a texting plan and make sure you don't get caught up into any unwanted monthly fee.
Tip #8 - Don't become a slave to your phone - One definition of a slave is, "a person excessively dependent upon or controlled by another person." Most of us thrive off the feeling of receiving a text
