Have someone you want to be a guest on a nationally-broadcast television show? Then there are a lot of things to keep in mind when you're pitching producers. Last week I attended PRSA-NY's Meet the Media: National Broadcast event that brought together four producers of national broadcast programs to give their advice to public relations pros.
The panelists were:
Tommy Crudup, senior talent executive at Rachael Ray
Todd Polkes, coordinating producer at The Meredith Vieira Show
Shira Sky, host and executive producer at HuffPost Live
Cheryl Strick, director of talent relations at Talk Stoop
Here are some highlights from the event.
On how they'd like to be pitched
All panelists agreed that they want to be pitched by email. Crudup said no phone follow-ups – they won't respond at all. Polkes wants email pitches that include links and/or clips of potential guests on shows of similar formats, and Sky requested that the most pertinent info go in the subject line as well as a bio and links to interviews.
The panelists also discussed some no-nos: don't, said Crudup, send a three-page pitch, and don't tell producers what they should talk about; that's their decision. Sky doesn't want to have to ask to describe what you're trying to pitch, and if she has to Google, she's not a happy camper. Strick doesn't want to hear just about what a guest is doing now, she wants to hear what they've done in the past.
Perhaps most important is that you know the show and their audience. Know the kinds of guests the show has had in the past, and stay up-to-date with what they're doing.
On exclusives
Crudup says since they're a new show, they are looking to book exclusive guests, but their most important criteria is that a guest is fun. On the other hand, Sky says they don't like exclusives and that they want people who resonate with their audience and have a lot of talent. For taped shows, exclusives aren't always an optin, Strick acknowledges, but the guest must be someone big or represent something big.
On paid spokespersons
Of the panelists, only Strick's show accepts paid integration, but she stressed it must be organic and related to Talk Stoop. Sky said they have no regulations about paid spokespersons, but they do have a "resource wall" where they will plug websites or links you bring, but they will not post products.
Crudup and Polkes both said no to paid spokespersons, though Polkes said they will mention a campaign but not a product, as that's too much advertising.
On social media
All panelists agreed that social media is an integral part of the show's success, and that it's just as crucial for guests to be active social media participants as well. Sky says that community and fan engagement is huge for their show, so a guest with a large and/or devoted following is a huge bonus. Crudup wants guests with about two million social media followers and they expect the guest to tweet about the upcoming appearance.
Strick says they will personally tweet before the guest comes on, and Polkes says they can't have a great show without social media and that tweets are essential to their ratings. So when you're pitching, be sure to include how active a potential guest is on social media and highlight their influence and following in the initial pitch.

text: Josh Egnew: Gomineko Tour Diary (Part I) By Josh Egnew A while back some friends from around the globe and I decided that we should all converge in Tokyo to take one of Gomineko's tours. Crystal Morey is a good friend and fellow tiger, so I knew that we would be in good hands. She's extremely knowledgeable about Japanese art and culture and speaks fluent Japanese. How could we go wrong? We can't sir. Read on my friends… Day 1 After a bit of time travel on the ol' xanax express my cohort, Mr. No Times and I arrived safe and sound from NYC to Narita. Immigration was a shockingly a breeze. I'm talking freakishly friendly government employees. Not at all what I'm used to, but I'll take it. We were next greeted by Crystal Morey along with Foerdl (Vienna Electric, Austria) and Sam Rulz ( on the road, NZ). After Foerdl introduced me to the wonderful world of Japanese vending machines we boarded an express train to Tokyo. As we were making the transfer to the subway system we got some road beers for the remaining ride to our accommodations. The fact that you can drink beer (or better yet, sippy-boxes of sake) virtually anywhere would prove to be both a blessing and a curse as the week unfolded. The remainder of the first day however was kept pretty mellow with just a bit of sushi and Asahis before it was off to slumber-land. Day 2 Jet-lag is a motherfucker, it never fails. The upside is that we were all up and ready to go nice and early, so off we headed to the train station. As a side note: I do not recommend the hot corn soup accompanied by Pocari Sweat drink to wash it down (both from the train platform vending machine of course) for breakfast. You'd think I'd know better, but I'm a gambling man and hey…you just never know. Anyway, first stop today was the Kyosai Memorial Museum. Talk about starting off with a bang! It's not the biggest museum, but it makes up for its modest size in quality, and being as Kyosai is one of my favorite Ukiyo-e artists, I was more than pleased. The gems in the gift shop/bookstore were icing on the sweet-ass cake. Next we were to do a studio visit with Horiren where Sam Rulz was to be tattooed. We had a bit of time to kill though, so we wandered around and Crystal took us to a small, but impressive used book store. This particular shop seemed to specialize in used erotica and I scored a few nice Shunga books for the collection. At this point, I believe I'm about eight books deep on our first outing and the day's not even halfway over. Thank god for the lockers at all of the train stations or we would have been miserable throughout the trip, as it seemed we were constantly collecting goods like squirrels. After ditching our new wares we headed off to Horiren's studio. This hidden little two-story private studio is filled with treasures by this amazing artist. She has adorned the walls with beautifully painted phoenix and dragons as well as impressive group shots of clients with body suit, after body suit. What can I say, but the girl's got skills! We watched while she drew a cool bat on Sam's leg and then banged out her tebori with precision. Once she began tattooing we turned our attention to making hanko stamps of our names and then had a nice little drawing session. We were then invited to a private dinner party she was holding later that night for her clients to come and show off Horiren's magnificent works. Again we had time to kill before the event so Crystal treated us to a small strip club nearby. Horiren gave us a coy smile as she was told where we were going. I would soon learn why. I'm not going to go in to detail about this club, but I will say I have never ever been to anyplace like this and I've been in some seedy joints in my day. This ain't no Motley Crüe shit. We're talking old broads getting dirty to some smooth geisha sounds. Totally fucking bizarre. We quickly got that out of our systems and headed for the party. We got there just in time for the awards ceremony and the awesome display of Horiren's living portfolio. It was truly impressive and we were fortunate to be allowed to photograph some of her clients. Then suddenly us westerners were thrust upon the stage to be stripped and judged ourselves. They did the judging by allowing the crowd to come up and place small colored stickers on our various tattoos. Matty and Sam stole the show in this category. It wasn't fair… they have bigger boobs than this skinny white boy. Once we dressed and gathered our belongings we headed off to the train to make our journey home for some much-needed rest. Yeah… that didn't really happen. We NEARLY made it to the train, but this certain little karaoke bar was calling our names. It was begging us to come in and sing Van Halen. How could we disappoint this mistress of the night? We couldn't dear readers. We simply couldn't... So rocking their world was our only choice. The remaining wee hours of the night getting home happened, but are apparently not to be remembered. I know we entertained ourselves with those damned vending machines along the way though. Day 3 We were to go to Mt. Takao a.k.a Tengu Mountain today, but alas it was raining. It was actually well suited for our foggy heads though and we opted instead for a day of shopping. There is no shortage of shopping in Tokyo. First up, we headed to Harajuko to check out a cool antique store and enjoy some nice conveyor belt-style sushi. After a great meal and bit of the old hair of the dog we were on the mend. We decided to hit up some of the local spots including Erosticas for some rockin' jelly bean gear, Secret Base, a toy collector's wet dream, Three Tides to say hello, as well as a slew of other places along the way. We took glamour shots in cracked out photo booths where you can give yourself anime girl eyes and Matty bought a Michael Jackson mask for our next bout of karaoke. I'd say it was a successful mission. The weather wouldn't quite agree with us, so we opted for an early night ending with some awesome Korean BBQ. The next day would be another big one, so we thought it best to get bit of rest. Day 4 A major day. It was a day that I never thought would ever come. As we made the hour-long train to Yokohama the whole group was in high spirits. Soon we were walking up a small street where I immediately recognized Horiyoshi III's private studio from the old Bushido book. We were psyched. You could feel the magic in the room as we entered the studio, exchanged salutations and took our seats on the floor. Sam was up first and as he sketched out a severed dragon head for her thigh we were all hawk-eyes. From his art collection and books to his selection of animal skulls and masks, there was no shortage of visual stimulation. Soon the drawing was finished and they were up and running. The beautiful black and grey tattoo was finished in no time and I was up next. I decided on a classic Oni head to fit in an awkward spot above my knee. He quickly drew it on and blazed it in what felt like 20 minutes or so. After, he politely signed some books for us and we headed off for a quick lunch in Chinatown before taking a peep at the tattoo museum. The museum was fantastic. So many amazing pieces in there from all over the planet. I can't recommend it enough. The sticker collection on the outside of the building alone is quite impressive. As night fell we made our way back to Tokyo and exited at the insane Shibuya station to check out Hachiko crossing. We got the mandatory flick of the infamous dog and meandered the streets until we arrived at the Tombstone bar. I'll start by saying this, Ueda-san is the man. He and his wife run this tiny biker bar where Suicidal [Tendencies'] videos blare on the screen while they make you the best damned Yakatori you've never had. The shit is so good Crystal dubbed it "Crackatori" and I gotta agree there is none more apt title. There is even an underground "Crackitori Syndicate" for it's faithful followers and an upcoming t-shirt from Dan Sinnes… another fellow member. There's nothing like a nice meal on a stick. Once we'd loaded up on grub and brews the "itis" hit us hard and it was time to hit the sheets. We slept like champions that night...

New Car Review Video
2013 Mazda2: New Car Review Video
Fun-loving and economical subcompacts are highly desirable today, due to higher gas prices, cutting-edge looks and technology and the value you get for your dollar. Mazda has lots of experience building fuel-efficient, sporty and price-friendly models, and the 2013 Mazda2 hatchback is a real player in that category.
On the outside, the Mazda2 doesn't set any new standards in the design competition between other compacts. The short wheelbase, raked front end and short rear deck are signatures of all vehicles in this segment.
Even though the interior of the Mazda2 is not exactly luxurious, it is definitely simple and comfortable. The front seats are the perfect size for most adults, but taller drivers should note that there is no telescopic steering column. No matter your size, the rear seats are on the tight side.
Technology is limited in the 2013 model Mazda2. For example, there is an auxiliary audio input jack, a USB port and a CD player, but there is not even an option for a navigation system, backup camera or footwell lighting. However, the locations of the audio system and glove box are convenient, and the dash layout and controls are simple, straightforward and easy to read.
The only engine available for the Mazda2 is a 1.5-liter, 100-horsepower inline 4-cylinder. Two transmissions are offered: a 5-speed manual standard transmission and a slightly dated optional 4-speed automatic. All Mazda2 models come only in front-wheel drive. When equipped with the manual gearbox, mileage is more than respectable at 29 miles per gallon city and 35 mpg highway.
The 2013 model Mazda2 comes in two trim levels: base Sport and Touring. While the base Sport starts at less than $15,000, the more finished Touring trim comes in at $16,210. When picking the Touring trim, standard equipment includes 15-inch alloy wheels, cruise control and a 6-speaker stereo. Both models come with a 5-year/60,000-mile warranty.
Competition has been the same for years in this segment. Currently, the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa and Kia Rio are all on the Mazda2's radar, but none offer the Mazda's sporty look and finish. The closest competitor is the Ford Fiesta, which shares the same platform of the Mazda2 but offers more engine combinations and options.
The manual-equipped 2013 Mazda2 will keep you involved and entertained, and the price is hard to beat. With better-than-average fuel economy, this Mazda is ready to play in the sporty subcompact arena.

Author Notes: My mother, Evelyn, "Grandma Evie" or "Grandma E" to her grandchildren, used to say that though she based her chicken soup on her mother's recipe, she made it better. She once told me that a little old Jewish lady she met in a butcher shop told her to put a sweet potato into the soup and she did that ever since. My older sister used to make this soup and my brother's wife makes a version as well. My mother was a great cook, but other than very '70's foods like green bean casserole and jello mold, really excelled at the Jewish cooking she grew up with. I don't make too many of her specialties any more because they can be very heavy, but this one I hope my children will carry on. —healthierkitchen
Serves: 8 - 12
pounds cut up chicken parts (I like to use Kosher for this as it's been salted and soaked)
sweet potato, peeled and left whole
1 large
onion, peeled and left whole
4 - 6
carrots, peeled and cut in two or three approximately equal lengths
4 stalks
celery, trimmed, cleaned and halved as with carrots
1 large (or 2 small)
parsnip, peeled
"Jewish bouquet garni" - a large handful of parsley, stems and all, a large handful of dill, and 10 - 12 black peppercorns wrapped in muslin and tied with kitchen string.
salt to taste
- Place chicken pieces into a large stock pot, leaving out any giblets, livers, etc. Cover with water by a couple of inches, probably about 7 quarts.
- Set pot on burner on high and bring to a rolling boil. Lower burner to a slow boil. After the water has been boiling for about 5 - 10 minutes, skim off the foam and grey-brown globs that rise to the top. Keep chicken and water at this slow boil for about 30 minutes, skimming occasionally as needed, until water is mostly clear.
- Add the other ingredients into the pot. Bring back to a boil and then lower to maintain the contents of the pot at a simmer. Cover the pot with the lid slightly ajar. Simmer for about an hour.
- After an hour, taste soup and add salt and pepper. If you have the time, let it simmer another hour.
- Remove the chicken pieces to a bowl and reserve for another use - Amanda's chicken salad, maybe?
- Remove the parsnip and sweet potato and eat. This is the cook's prerogative. Break up the onion into smaller pieces and leave in the soup. Remove the Jewish b.g. (herbs).
- For Jewish holidays, the soup is ready to serve like this with noodles or matzo balls. If you would like a fancier presentation, strain the soup of all the cooked out vegetables and put just the broth back into the pot (and don't do what I did once and just pour it through the strainer right down the sink - oy!) Once strained, you can add fresh carrots and celery to the broth and cook them for another 20 minutes or so before serving, or use as stock.

Proposed Canon
A tribe is a group of connected units, separate from their side(s).
Known Tribes and Known Members
The Tribes of Men
The Jetstone Tribe
- King Slately
- Prince Ansom
- Prince Tramennis
- Prince Ossomer
The Nearly-Lost Plaid Tribe
The Lost Croatan Tribe
- Wanda Firebaugh
- Presumably Jillian and Jack Snipe, if Faq was Croatan
Humanoid Tribes
The Gobwin Tribe
The Hobgobwin Tribe
The Elven Tribes
The Marbit Tribe
- The Milquetoast Clan may have been a Tribe, a side, or both.
Parson says tribal affiliations seem "cultural," and have no real meaning.Erf-b1-p079a I think this means that sides don't depend on tribal affiliation to determine their unit makeup, or who leads, or whatever. Also, casters will often be on sides that don't match their tribes. Tribes are almost certainly involved, though, for Royals and Heirs.
A side may be composed of a main, or central, tribe, and its collective allies. For instance, Gobwin Knob had 200 living troops - these, perhaps, were all or mostly the remnants of the Plaid Tribe. Considered against the masses of Uncroaked, the Dwagons, the Twolls, and the Golems, along with their Natural Allies, the Gobwins and Hobgobwins, the Plaid Tribe is a fraction of their side, but it is perhaps the central thread, as it were.
Tribes in the Real World have familial, or genetic, ties. Though no one in Erfworld is technically related, and heirs don't necessarily resemble their "parent," it is possible that members of a tribe share certain characteristics, or at least are more likely to... then again, what, aside from receding hairlines, do Stanley and Sizemore have in common?
The different elf varieties may be based on tribal divisions. Same with Giants.

Glimpsed at Pazo: Meredith Buell
Meredith Buell, 28, freely admits she is a bargain shopper. "I shop at Goodwill and consignment boutiques religiously," says the owner/operator of Vitae Massage Therapy. But, this Owings Mills resident knows how to find bargains that make her look like a million bucks, like when we "glimpsed" her at Pazo. That sleek olive cotton jersey Nicole Miller sheath was a Goodwill find. Believe it or not, her cool black thread and silver earrings came from Rite Aid. Her black sparkly peep-toe platform INC stilettos were on sale at Macy's. She's had her big marcasite ring for years. Her Prada hobo handbag was a gift. She says she doesn't go for one specific style. "I like to pull of almost anything. But I like to look classy and stand out."

Just a quick note/post to say that, yes, I am blogging from this site again with significantly more regularity. I have a certain someone to blame for this revival (and you know who you are!).
I had gotten away from posting here because Facebook, and to some extent Google+, are just easier since I don't have to do any real formatting; however, having posted quite a bit this month I am coming to the realization that I miss the more "formalized" format of blogging on my own site. And, since I am paying to have it hosted, I should use it, right?
Anywho, I think that for the foreseeable future (wow, spell check actually accepted "foreseeable" … there's a heckuva lot of vowels in there!) I will be primarily focused on posting here and letting the various WordPress plugins do their job of announcing new posts over on Facebook and Twitter.
So, sit back and enjoy! I know that I will.

January 27, 2009
The United States Supreme Court clarified what it means to "oppose" sexual harassment. in Crawford v. Metropolitan of Nashville and Davidson County, Tennessee, Crawford was asked questions during a sexual harassment investigation. In response to questions from the interviewer, Crawford said that the employee relations director had sexually harassed her. No action was taken against the director, but Crawford soon found herself accused of embezzlement and fired.
Crawford sued aleging her employer retaliated against her for opposing sexual harassment in violation of Title VII. The trial court and appellate court held that Crawford did not state a cause of action because her responses to questions was not an affirmative opposition of sexual harassment. In essence, the lower courts believed that the opposition clause demanded "active, consistent" opposing activities, whereas the plaintiff in this case had not initiated any complaint prior to the investigation. The U.S. Supreme Court disagreed.
Noting that Title VII does not define "oppose," the Supreme Court applied the ordinary common definition meaning of resisting or contending against. The court found that intent of the statute's anti-retaliation provision's protection extends to an employee who speaks out about discrimination even if it is not done on the employee's own initiative.
The ruling may broaden the scope of what some employers believed constituted a "complaint" about harassment. Employers must be cognizant of the fact that any opposition to unlawful harassment or discrimination is protected. When conducting a sexual harassment or discrimination investigation it is extremely important to remember that additional allegations of harassment, possibly even unrelated events, may be divulged and that such additional allegations may need to be addressed. The underscores the need to have such investigations conducted by competent outside consultants.

A user can't see Panorama view on a new cube
Friday, March 28, 2014
We had a book in Panorama NovaView which we had made about a year ago. The book had views that were all based on the same PowerPivot cube which was published to a SharePoint Server (so it was recognized as cube by the viewer). So, a year had passed and we needed to add to our book new views which would be based on a new PowerPivot cube. The data in both cubes was about workers in different units and the authorizations on the cubes were given so that every manger would see just the workers in his units....

Routt County agencies, agriculture groups refocus on irrigation water measuring devices
Steamboat Springs — The snow banks piling up across Steamboat Springs belie the fact Northwest Colorado still is in an extreme drought, according to the National Drought Mitigation Center. And with the memory of last summer — when some farmers and ranchers holding senior water rights had their irrigation head gates shut down because they lacked proper flow-measuring devices — local officials already are preparing for smoother administration of area streams and rivers this summer.
Routt County CSU Extension agent Todd Hagenbuch said that as the drought continues into 2013, area water rights holders need to be prepared for continued administration of their water rights.
He is one of the organizers of a March 5 meeting in Steamboat intended to help irrigators better understand what steps they need to take, and what equipment they need to conform with Colorado state laws pertaining to accurate measurement of irrigation water being taken out of rivers.
"Because the Yampa Valley has been the land of plenty for so long, we've been a bit lax in how all of us have approached diversion and the legalities of diversion," Hagenbuch said. "I think last year was a real wake-up call that we won't always be the land of plenty. This year, we want to get ahead so people are aware of what steps they need to take prior to any (water) administration occurring."
The water stored in the snowpack above the combined Yampa/White river basins is looking better than last year, at 76 percent of average. But Hagenbuch observed that the Drought Mitigation Center is taking into account low soil level moisture that must be replenished by spring runoff this year.
In late August, with the Elk River flowing at just 29 cubic feet per second, water commissioner Brian Romig ruffled some feathers when he shut down eight irrigation ditches in the Elk River Valley because they didn't have flow-measuring devices to confirm the water rights holder was not taking more water from the Elk than he or she was entitled to. In addition, he pulled 20 pumps from the river because the pump owners did not have a decreed water right, did not have a measuring device or were removing water under a right that was junior to the state's right to protect a baseline flow to protect the health of the river.
"Appropriate water-measuring devices, operable head gates and adequate diversion structures are not only necessary for landowners to make use of their water, but are also required by state law," Hagenbuch wrote.
But that doesn't mean it was easy for ranchers to come to terms with the need to comply with state laws that previously did not have to be enforced because of an abundance of water.
Last summer marked a new era in the Yampa/Elk river valleys when irrigators no longer can assume there is ample water, and Division 6 Water Engineer Erin Light praised Romig for following through on a tough job.
This year, the Colorado Division of Water Resources, the Extension office, the Community Agriculture Alliance, the Routt County Conservation District, U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Upper Yampa Water Conservancy District and Trout Unlimited are hosting this week's meeting to get ahead of the drought.
They will discuss possible funding opportunities for bringing irrigation structures into compliance, Hagenbuch said. And vendors of irrigation measurement and control devices will display their products.

All thirteen episodes of House of Cards' first season debut on Netflix Friday, but the folks who run the video service insist they don't give a damn if America rushes to watch the David Fincher–Kevin Spacey series this weekend. Or next weekend, or next month, for that matter. Executives have said they may never reveal any information about how many people watch the $3 million-plus-per-episode political thriller — or the number of viewings of any of the other four original series they'll be unveiling this year, including the highly anticipated return of Arrested Development. This has caused no small amount of head-scratching and even some ire in a TV industry where next-day ratings are a grand tradition: Numbers are how you declare yourself a success or reveal yourself a failure. FX chief John Landgraf earlier this month slammed the lack of transparency, telling a conference of TV reporters that Netflix suits "like the fact that they don't have to have a report card." What's more, Landgraf mused, if Netflix doesn't tell anyone who's watching its shows, "How will you determine if something's a hit?" Indeed, and with apologies to the late Whitney Houston, how will we know?
First, it's worth noting just how unusual Netflix's screw-the-numbers policy is in our society. We live in the age of Big Data, an era in which everything everybody does (and even thinks) is instantly measured, quantified, dissected, and analyzed. Obviously, we saw it in politics, where most of the narratives of the 2012 presidential election were born from polling data. And it is all over entertainment: The response to Taylor Swift's latest single is tracked via constantly updated iTunes and Amazon sales charts; whereas only a handful of papers used to report box-office numbers, now weekend grosses are forecasted after Friday's early screenings; and entire websites reduce TV shows to commodities, with each week's ratings treated like NASDAQ quotes, and a show's fate rises and falls based upon each Nielsen fluctuation. Numbers have always been a guidepost for our capitalist system: Casey Kasem made a career out of counting down the Billboard Top 40, and for decades the folks at McDonald's reminded consumers that they were among the "billions and billions served." The difference today is that numbers are released with unrelenting speed and each one is treated with equal significance.
But for now, at least, Netflix is refusing to play the all-American numbers game. In a letter to investors a few weeks ago, company CEO Reed Hastings dropped a pretty big hint about why, and it boils down to this: At least in the near-term, data on how many people stream House of Cards right after it goes up is meaningless. "Linear channels must aggregate a large audience at a given time of day and hope the show programmed will actually attract enough viewers despite this constraint," Hastings wrote. "With Netflix, members can enjoy a show anytime, and over time, we can effectively put the right show in front of members based on their viewing habits … For linear TV, the fixed number of prime-time slots mean that only shows that hit it big and fast survive ... In contrast, Internet TV is an environment where smaller or quirkier shows can prosper because they can find a big enough audience over time. In baseball terms, linear TV only scores with home runs. We score with home runs, too, but also with singles, doubles, and triples." It's not that Netflix doesn't care about how many people watch its original shows; it does, very much so. It just can happen over a much longer period of time. "If they like [a show] they watch more," Netflix programming chief Ted Sarandos told the The Hollywood Reporter last year. "If they watch more, they will value the service more." What separates Netflix from ABC or even AMC is that it truly doesn't care if that engagement takes place tomorrow night at ten or six months from now when you come down with a cold and decide to spend the day watching Kevin Spacey sneer at people.
Netflix's indifference to when you watch its programming is rooted in the fact that, unlike traditional TV networks, it's a subscription-based service. Ratings, and the ad revenue that results from increased ratings, aren't part of its equation for success. As long as a home viewer keeps paying his or her $8 per month, Reed Hastings is a happy man. Netfix's business model isn't unique in TV, of course: HBO has become a billion-dollar business by taking a similar watch-when-you-want approach to its content. It regularly brings back shows such as Treme, Enlightened, and, yes, even Girls, despite the fact that all three have failed to attract massive audiences the first time their episodes have aired on HBO. Ditto Showtime, where Californication pulls in barely 1 million viewers on Sunday nights — and was just renewed for a seventh season. What the HBO and Showtime series have in common is that they slowly add viewers weeks and months after they first air, as viewers catch multiple replays or watch via video On Demand. Even these cumulative ratings aren't the be-all at a premium network. The Wire never did well for HBO any way you sliced the ratings, but the network kept it on for five seasons anyway because it kept a certain segment of its subscriber base and contributed to building the network's "we're not TV" brand. When you don't have to worry about advertisers, and subscribers keep shelling out for your service, a show doesn't have to be declared a "hit" by the entertainment press to be considered a success. What matters for HBO, Showtime, and Netflix is that consumers like you think there's a reason to keep (or start) paying that monthly subscriber fee.
It would be easy to dismiss Netflix's no-data-for-you strategy as fear-based, that the company is worried a poor "rating" would prove embarrassing and perhaps even spook investors who've already survived those months in 2011 when Netflix lost nearly half its value in just a few months (remember Qwikster?). And who knows? Maybe that is part of the reason for the lack of hard data. But give the company credit: It agreed to fund 26 episodes (two seasons' worth) of House of Cards for a widely reported price tag of $100 million, before seeing a single frame of footage, not to mention ratings. That in and of itself seems to show Hastings means it when he says that long-term viewing is what counts. By ordering two seasons at once, Netflix will have plenty of time to see how House plays with Netflix subscribers and how it impacts the company's subscriber base (now at around 30 million globally). While Hastings may say House of Cards' value won't be known for a long time, it would seem that May's launch of Arrested Development will be a more immediate test of the original-programming plan: It's a known brand that fans have been clamoring for more of for years, so if its return doesn't result in an instant surge of binge viewing (and an uptick in subscribers), then it's hard to imagine any original series moving the needle for Netflix.
So, back to Landgraf's question: How will we know if House of Cards is a hit? Well, it's possible Netflix will change its mind and release data after all. HBO never really made much of a fuss about its Nielsen numbers until The Sopranos became a huge hit. If House of Cards smashes a slew of previous Netflix benchmarks, the company's PR department could persuade Hastings to change his mind. Barring that, the best and only way to judge the success or failure of Netflix's original programming push is by waiting and watching to see what the company does next, not in the next few months but over the course of a couple of years. Does it keep Spacey's show going beyond the first two cycles, or does it issue a press release one day claiming that producer David Fincher has decided the story reached its "natural conclusion" after 26 episodes? Does it keep investing hundreds of millions of dollars each year in original programming, commissioning new series or resurrecting others that's old episodes have been perennial favorites on Netflix? Or does it decide to shift more money into locking up exclusive deals with studios for their movie content (like its recent blockbuster agreement to become the exclusive pay TV home for Disney content beginning in 2015)? And, perhaps most important, does Netflix's subscriber count keep going up? Remember, with a subscription costing about $100 a year, adding 10 million subscribers over the next few years would bring in an addition $1 billion to Netflix's coffers. That would buy quite a few more episodes of Arrested Development. If Netflix is writing eight-figure checks for original content five years from now, it'll probably be safe to declare House of Cards a success.

All the new Sirius radios have the same weaker FM transmitter, there I'll just say it. Now that we got that out of the way we can begin to solve this dilemma.
It does not matter why or really who turned down the transmitting signal in most FM Transmitters sold today( Sirius radios included). What really matters is what can we, together, can solve it.
Almost any car has the ability to solve the weak FM problem. There are typically three solutions, listed in order from good to best:
- The Tape Cassette Adapter
This device is simple. Remember when walkman CD players first came out? And you rushed out and bought one, but couldn't listen to it in the car. And then someone handed you a cassette with a audio cable coming out of it. That was a Tape Cassette Adapter. It allows you to play any audio device that has a headphone jack( IPOD, CD Walkman, Sirius, etc) through your car stereo's tape deck. If you do have a Tape deck this is the most painless way to directly connect your Sirius Radio.
- The FM Direct Adapter
Some people feel this is lesser quality sound than the Cassette adapter, which I half agree, but I ranked this higher because it does not have that pesky audio cable running from you tape deck to the back of you Sirius radio dock. It gets installed into the car's antenna and then has a cable to run to the FM OUT of the Sirius dock. This gives you a more hardwired look and still provides you with adequate FM reception. It is a great solution for a semi-permanent application like Company cars, leased cars, and Semi-Rigs.
- Aux-Input Device
This is the BEST way to connect to radio. These devices plug into the CD Changer port on most car stereos and gives a set of RCA line inputs.The RCA inputs can be connected to any audio device via appropriate patch cable. Some car stereos are not enabled however, so be sure to refer to our website for compatibility charts.
For in-home FM transmitting see this product: Whole House FM Transmitter
- If you have any questions of concerns about the products described above feel free to visit our website or call us here and we will be more than glad to give you a more detailed list of products that may be available for you car.

Before I tell you about our time in the lab, I thought I would share with you another video taken by Paul Pearce Kelly in Cuc-Phuong. The video below is of a predatory slug species from the genus Atopos. These slugs either eat small microsnails whole or bore through larger snails' shells using their toothed, tongue-like radula.
After our exciting and productive time in Cuc Phuong National Park we headed back to Hanoi to process the material for frozen tissue collections. Our expedition has been jointly funded by the Natural History Museum and the Frozen Ark, and one of our aims is to collect frozen tissue material and viable cells.
The Frozen Ark was set up in 1996 and is run by a consortium of 22 universities, museums, zoos and aquaria from 8 different countries, with the aim to conserve frozen cells containing DNA from endangered animals before they go extinct. Since many limestone habitats are under threat from the construction industry (the limestone is used in the manufacture of cement and other building materials), we decided that terrestrial molluscs would be a great addition to the Frozen Ark collections.
Chris preparing tissue whilst Jackie puts the samples on ice.
The specimens used for these processess have been brought back from Cuc-Phuong live, to be processed in the laboratory. For the frozen tissue samples, small slices of the foot of the snail (the part it moves on) are placed in sterile tubes and frozen at -80 degrees Celsius. These samples will hopefully yield high quality DNA. Five multiple sets are stored for our current research, long term Museum storage, the Frozen Ark in London, the Frozen Ark in Nottingham and for the Frozen Ark in Vietnam.
The viable cell preparations are also taken from tissue samples but they are mashed up in an antibiotic solution (to prevent damage by bacteria etc.), and then mixed with a buffer chemical so that as the tissues are frozen, again at -80 degres Celcius, the cells will not fracture and will remain whole. It is hoped that future technology will allow us to use these cells and the genetic content within to re-create and re-introduce extinct species.
(L-R) Jackie, Chris and Fred hard at work on the cold-chain-gang (sorry terrible molecular joke).
The two experts in our group helping us with these processes are Jackie Mackenzie-Dodds and Dr. Chris Wade, who are both on the advisory board of the Frozen Ark. Jackie is the collections manager of the molecular and frozen tissue collections at the Museum, and Chris is a lecturer of genetics and a molecular biologist at Nottingham University. I'm glad they are both here as the frozen tissue preparations are complex and intricate and I have never done anything like this before.
We have spent the last few days collecting in Huu Lien Nature Reserve and tomorrow will be our last day collecting in the field so in my next blog I'll be telling you all about the strange and wonderful things we have found, and a little about our last few days in Hanoi.
Fruit for Thought
As well as the delicious savoury dishes we have been sampling a wealth of unusual (at least to me) fruit. My favourite has to be the Rambutan, a egg-sized red fruit covered in green hairs. I'm afraid I don't have any pictures because I ate them all before I thought to take a photo so you'll have to Google them. They taste a bit like a grape but are sweeter and juicier - delicious.
Persimmon (the red fruit) and Guava's (the green ones) with a little lotus tea - what a lovely afternoon treat.
We've also been eating ...
Pomelo - a sharp citrus fruit with a grapefruit-like taste
Guava - like a tropical quince
Persimmon - a bit like across bewteen a plum and a tomato, much nicer than it sounds
Longans - like large lychees but sweeter
Forest Bananas - shorter but wider than our usual bananas, tastes earthier and banana-ery if that makes any sense
Jicama - a tuber that tastes like apple and is often served with savoury courses
Bite Me
0 Leech bites ... all though I have a funny feeling this may change tomorrow as it is due to be a stormy evening
12 mosquito bites
Ant bites, fading and almost gone

The boy and I celebrated our annual Valentine's feast last night. This year was a little different than past years as I had to reveal my menu early so that my love could help me in the preparation. This saddened me as it was one more thing Rheumatoid Autoimmune Disease has taken away from me. I still enjoyed our little tradition with the man I love and that is the most important thing. One day I won't be able to cook at all anymore so I will enjoy every time I am still able to while I can.
Renzo as usual out did himself in making me a meal to remember. At his request, I skipped my Methotrexate and Arava so that I could safely drink alcohol. I am so glad I did. He prepared a delicious Strawberry Maragita to accompany my Southwest themed feast.
My appetizer was a flavourful Tortilla Soup.
My main course was Tequila Lime Chicken served with Fresh Ranch Salsa and Queso Fresco served with Green Pablano Rice. All of it was delicious!
I, with Renzo's help, prepared him a (sorta) French themed meal. It was accompanied with a crisp Pinot Grigio.
His appetizer was a Blackberry, Arugula and Baby Spinach Salad in a Warm Bacon Red Onion Vinaigrette. The salad was also topped with juicy grape tomatoes, toasted pecans and crumbled goat cheese (I did not add the chicken as it was not a main course).
For his main course, I prepared Grilled Lamb Chops with a Pomegranate Port Reduction served with Roasted Asparagus and Three Cheese Mashed Cauliflower (I used cream cheese, cheddar and parmesan cheese. I also used the immersion blender to give it more of a whipped consistency).
For dessert we both enjoyed Ricotta Marscapone Chocolate Chip Cannoli. I think these were better than the ones we had in New York City made by the Cannoli King of Little Italy.
The meal was wonderful! We now can't wait for next year's feast which we have decided will have a "Best Of" theme as it will be the 10th year of our Valentine tradition.

At least that's the verdict of one of London's dedicated followers of fashion on the uniforms doled out to over 90,000 staff of the Olympic Games.
For the tsars and tsaritsas of British fashion, the outfits — either a juxtaposition of purple and red on sports jackets or constellations of pink and magenta diamonds on unfitted t-shirts — are an insult to London's reputation as the hippest city on earth.
"Atrocious, artless, cynical," is the way Stephen Bayley, one of Britain's leading voices on style, taste and contemporary design, described the uniforms.
"Look as though they were made for a Sacha Baron Cohen parody," Bayley told Reuters, referring to the Cambridge-educated comedian behind fictional characters such as Ali G and Borat.
Bayley, co-founder of London's Design Museum, added that the Olympic logo, advertisements and car designs were also failures unlikely to win gold in any Olympian design contest.
Londoners pride themselves on living in one of the world's most elegant cities: from the tailors of kings on Savile Row to the "freshest" designers of the London's ever-so-hip East End.
"In all the areas where we are thought to excel, the Olympics shows weakness, lame thinking and lack of enterprise," Bayley said.
He is not alone: Members of the British public took to the social networking site Twitter to air their dismay too.
"Seen a few Olympic volunteers, the outfits they have to wear are awful, purple shell suit, chinos and chunky trainers anyone?" said one Twitter user, Steven Joyce, after noticing a volunteer on the street.
"The shirts the Olympic volunteers have to wear are tragic," added another, Matt Page.
The purple and red uniforms, worn by 70,000 volunteers, 6,000 staff and 4,500 technical officials, were produced by sportswear label Adidas and designed by the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (LOCOG).
The pink and magenta creations, for 11,000 Olympics ambassadors charged with helping visitors make the most of their time in various Games locations across Britain, were designed to stand out and reflect Britain's sporting heritage.
"The feedback we've received from our games makers has been great - our volunteers love their uniforms," a LOCOG spokeswoman told Reuters.
A spokesman for Adidas said that, while the company produced the volunteer uniforms, the design brief was issued by LOCOG.
When asked what he thought of the red and purple uniform, one Olympic volunteer said: "Not very nice at all. Let's just put it this way: I wouldn't wear this garment to go anywhere outside these Olympics."
"Red and purple is a bit of a fashion clash but it is quite comfortable to wear," added another, who asked for her name not to be used because she was not supposed to speak to the media.
The uniforms are not the only clothes attracting criticism.
Spanish canoe sprinter Saul Craviotto tweeted a picture of himself wearing Spain's red and yellow patterned outfit: "At home trying on my Olympics clothes. It's best if I don't give an opinion, I will leave it up to you.".
Russia's offerings of swirling cherry red lines have made the Time magazine "ugly" list.
London's fashion police has also set its sights on other Olympian design faux pas.
After the official Olympics 2012 logo was unveiled in 2007, 50,000 people in two days signed a petition to scrap it.
The logo, designed by Wolff Olins, features jagged abstract shapes forming the numerals of 2012 in bright shades of pink, green, blue and orange with a yellow outline.
Designed to appeal to a modern Internet generation, the logo was reported by local media to have cost 400,000 pounds ($626,700).
"We have terrible, wince-making ads. The worst graphics in the history of design. A terrible font," Bayley said.
Wolff Olins told Reuters Bayley was missing the point.
"Our intention was to take the Olympics off the podium, out of the stadium onto the streets into people's hands," a spokesperson for the brand consultancy said.
"These are Olympics like no other, these are everyone's Olympics, with unprecedented levels of participation. Our work conveys and encourages that."
So far, the London Olympic Games have cost the British taxpayer more than 9 billion pounds ($13.9 billion), an outlay, which has been criticized as excessive in a time of government budget cuts and the paring back of public services.
"Given the commitment of money, it should have been a demonstration of excellence. Instead, it does not in these areas rise even to the level of mediocrity," Bayley said.
The loose-fitting uniforms for Olympics volunteers and staff appear to have been made on a one-size-fits-all basis, but British athletes have seen no expense spared in the creation of their team kits.
Team GB stepped into the sporting limelight wearing a subtle medley of blue, white and red, created by high-profile British designer Stella McCartney, who based her work on the British flag, the Union Jack.
McCartney's creations have been broadly well-received, but even they have not escaped.
Tour de France winner and Britain's most decorated athlete Bradley Wiggins, cheekily tweeted: "Stella was a bit Lucy in the Sky when she knocked this one up."

May 8, 2010
NORTHRIDGE, Calif. -- Barbara Nwaba won the Big West heptathlon championship with a score of 5552 points, breaking her own UCSB record by more than 300 points. The result ensures her a spot in the NCAA Championships and will likely be among the national leaders.
Nwaba began the day with a long jump of 18'2.50" (5.54m) for 712 points, allowing Desirae Gonder of Cal State Northridge to close the gap slightly. Nwaba then edged Gonder in the javelin with a throw of 113'10" (34.71m) for 566 points, and sealed the deal with a strong 800m time of 2:17.80 for 854 points.
This is the second time this season that Nwaba has broken her own UCSB record. Her previous personal best was 5212, set at the California Invitational Multi-events on April 15.
Other Gaucho results from the heptathlon included Christina Nowak finishing fifth with a score of 4737, moving up to fourth on the Gaucho all-time list. Maureen Ajoku was sixth with 4590, placing her sixth all-time. Grace Esslinger finished 10th with 4308, and Jessica Brag was 11th with 4282.
Mike Powers was the top Gaucho in the decathlon, finishing fourth with a big personal best of 6986. His top score on the day was 823 in the 110m hurdles, with a time of 15.22. Josh Codding picked up a point for the Gauchos with an eighth place finish, scoring 6427.
After the multi-events, the team scoring situation is as follows. The Gauchos are currently leading the women's competition with 17 points, followed by Cal State Northridge with 14 points and UC Davis with five points. Northridge leads the men's competition with 16 points, followed by Cal Poly with 9, Long Beach State with 8, and the Gauchos with six.
The Big West Conference Championship Meet is next Friday and Saturday, May 14-15, at Cal State Northridge.

Rich Applications + Poor Networks = Customer Experience Turn-off
You've probably seen the spinning "loading" wheel or the dreaded "hour glass" quite often in your Internet browsing experience, especially on rich media sites where videos download to your browser. You blame your ISP and move on. Lucky you.
Imagine if you are a store clerk manning the cash counter at a local big box store on Black Friday. Your POS application just went down, and the "self-service" counters have just blacked out. A collective sigh that goes up in the line doesn't help either.
Now whom do you blame?
There are many layers to this problem. A typical business information ecosystem combines hardware—storage, servers, large computing capabilities; software applications—graphic interface driven information manipulation solutions; and the glue that connects them all—networking.
As each of these elements of the ecosystem evolved independently, business-critical issues like performance, usage, security, and availability of these individual elements have been refined in vacuum.
Today, infrastructure managers tool up virtual machines and clouds to offset hardware performance issues. Server virtualization offers performance, economy, and consolidation—and some critical associated challenges. For example, IT leaders require application tracking as applications are moved from Virtual Machine (VM) to VM as they tune/optimize their virtual infrastructure or respond to peak loads as well as manage VM failovers. In addition to virtualization, massive data centers we call cloud-computing facilities are being built to host applications at scale plus offer infrastructure, platform and other IT services. According to the Yankee Group*, 56% of IT business leaders seek to take advantage of cloud computing technology and build their own private cloud center while 24% seek a fully managed cloud computing facility. In the same study, 32% of IT business leaders will seek a hybrid cloud approach.
In parallel, application development groups have stepped up efforts to create richer experiences for their products, loading in video and rich interface applications liberally. To add to this, the slick user interface provides the end user with a multitude of options that really tax the network and the back-end storage and server infrastructure that has to churn the data.
Application developers are writing mobile applications at a frenzied pace thanks to Apple's iPhone and iPad, Google's Android, and RIM's BlackBerry. Legacy enterprise applications are being extended to mobile platforms too with the assumption of a suitable network for delivery. At the same time applications are being increasingly centralized into consolidated data centers creating greater distance between users and their applications plus data. Some estimate that over 80% of enterprises have under gone a data center consolidation process, which is significant, but we are just at the being of the centralization trend.
In large enterprises—like the big box store, IT managers are using the cloud to offload branch-specific applications and services to offer the location "local-like" availability and performance. Not really, though.
All these modernization leave the network grappling with the resulting dilemma—to deliver the same level of productive experience of any application to any user at any place at any time. Whoa.
Cisco has been working to solve this crippling problem by looking at the entire ecosystem from a services perspective.
Cisco's Borderless Network architecture is built upon five network services:
1. Mobility or users in motion
3. Integrated network security
These borderless network services are built within switching, routing, security, wireless and wide area application services or WAAS infrastructure products. By integrating these services into existing network infrastructure, and providing the ability to control them via policy and management, Cisco enables a borderless experience to occur.
A borderless network eliminates the disconnect between applications and network designers by allowing the network to be aware of the applications that traverse it and endpoint capabilities that it connects. This revolutionary thinking helps any users of any application at any time on any device remain truly productive.
If you'd like to learn more about the new Cisco innovations coming up in the application performance space, register for the October 5th event – you won't want to miss it!
Over the next few weeks, I'll be writing more about these new innovations and how they help you solve some of your most pressing application performance challenges. So, stay tuned!

It's been a good week on the regulatory front for Cubist Pharmaceuticals, as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration followed up Thursday's announcement it would give priority review to one drug with Friday's approval of a new skin treatment.
Shares of Cubist , which already had finished the day up more than 5% to $72.24, climbed a little more in after-hours trading to $73.51 on the news that Sivextro was approved to treat acute bacterial skin infections in adults.
Lexington, Mass.-based Cubist won approval for the drug designed to treat what the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said is a serious public health threat.
Mike Bonney, Cubist's chief executive, said in an interview with MarketWatch that he expects sales of this drug, coupled with another oral medication, to bring in as much as $1 billion in annual sales. He said that Sivextro came to Cubist last year as part of the company's acquisition of Trius Therapeutics, with what was to be Sivextro as key to the purchase.
"We have the approval [for Sivextro] pretty much when we expected to have the approval," Bonney said.
The drug allows patients to take the medication orally or intravenously. The condition, formally known as acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections, or ABSSSI, often meant hospital stays for patients.
One particular infectious bacteria that the medication is designed to treat, methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, kills 11,000 U.S. patients each year, officials said.
Sivextro is taken as part of a six-day program. Cubist is developing a number of antibiotics designed to treat these infections and hopes to win approval soon.
The approval came a day after Cubist won priority review from the FDA for a treatment known as ceftolozane/taxobactam, which is designed to handle urinary tract and abdominal infections.

Organizers and competitors from left (John Moreau, Monet Moreau, DJ Corbett, Choon Lai, Conner Hays, Kristina Troyanski, Alexandra Murray, Gus Bates, Joshua Vences, Julia Boucher, Sean Moreau, Max Boucher)
The inaugural Paul Pesthy Memorial Pentathlon Meet was held in San Marcos, Texas, Saturday March 23, 2013. 9 athletes took part in all the events. Held in conjunction with the Yorick Fencing Tournament, we were able to utilize grounded metallic strips to facilitate the fencing event and attract local fencers to compete as well. As expected nationally ranked fencer Kristina Troyanski won the event with 28 victories for 1024 pentathlon points. Local baseball standout Gus Bates was a pleasant surprise winning second place with 27 victories for 1000 pentathlon points.
1st Heat Swim (Gus Bates, DJ Corbett, Kristina Troyanski, Conner Hays, Julia Boucher)

... Charles Hajdamach's British Glass 1800-1914.On page 287 there is a bowl (4 3/4"diameter 2 1/4"high) that kind of curves into the base and at the top flares out at the rim - bit like a wide U shape but with curves out at the top if you can imagine - described as ' clear glass bowl with rows of turquoise beads formed by the method outlined by H.Wilkinson in his patent specification of 1905. Stourbridge early 20th century'. It has 12 ribs. My decanter does as well. It reminds me a lot of my decanter - more so than the Graystan pieces which all seem to have more ribs, apart from one piece I have seen. I think my decanter dates from earlier than the 30's ....I could be wrong but I just think it does.m

I infer from that last comment, that pieces must have been seen, which had been made using this technique, dating to the 19th century and also from studio glass makers at the time the book was written. Would that inference be correct?m

At least no one had to spend a lot of time climbing the ladder to get the ball out of the peach basket.
That game was actually live Thursday night, not some historic footage transformed into 2012-quality viewing by modern technology? George Karl coached the Nuggets, not James Naismith?That really was live. That really did happen. An NBA team, Denver, a good NBA team at that, really did make one basket from outside the paint the entire game. The Trail Blazers really did beat the Nuggets 101-93 in Portland in a game for the ages.
The Dark Ages.
Not scrounging a hoop outside the paint until the 17-footer from Ty Lawson with 38 seconds remaining was incomprehensible enough. That doesn't happen. That it happened to the Nuggets, though, increased the level of disbelief.
Yeah, if there was a list of candidates to miss every shot from 3-point range, 22 in this case to set a league record for futility, Denver would have been near the top – it began the night 25th in long-range accuracy. But to go 47 minutes, 22 seconds without tripping over a perimeter basket? Mind boggling.
The Nuggets were sixth in field-goal percentage when they stepped on the court Thursday and someone turned out the lights. They do not have an efficient offense, with turnovers and free throws becoming a real problem, but they do have veteran perimeter players known for something other than defense. Danilo Gallinari, Andre Igoudala, Andre Miller, Lawson – at some point, someone has to accidentally make a bad shot from 15 feet.
And yet, one make from outside the paint, allowing Portland to win on a night it shot all of 35.9 percent.
"You recognized that, did you?" Karl deadpanned afterward when a reporter mentioned the freak statistical happening.
Assume a few others will as well and that the discussion of a Wednesday night in Portland in 2012, or 1957 or 1891 or whatever it was, will continue. That, the 3-point record and the perimeter scoring as a whole, can be written off as a numerical anomaly for the Nuggets, of course, but it should also put a big-picture spotlight on an offense that it struggling.

Royals Birthdays – November 6
1969 – Don Wengert (Pitcher – 1999)
Happy Birthday!
Did You Know: This is also the birthdate of pitching legend Walter Johnson who was born on November 6, 1887 in Eudora, Kansas. Listen to this – Walter Johnson made 666 starts in his big league career and completed 531 of them. 531 Complete Games!
He had 417 wins, 3,508 strikeouts (most ever in the American League until Roger Clemens surpassed him in 2001), an all-time record of 110 shutouts and posted a 2.17 ERA over his entire 21-year career.
Just imagine, that would about like repeating Zack Greinke's 2009 performance for 21 consecutive years. Wow…
Happy Birthday to 'The Big Train' – one of Kansas' native sons!

Firemonkeys, the maker of the Real Racing games has been teasing us with Developer Diary videos for its upcoming Real Racing 3 title. This latest video shows us a bit more in game footage which looks stunningly realistic as well as a look behind the scenes at creating a new track from scratch for this huge gaming franchise. Real Racing 3 was originally shown off at the September 12 iPhone 5 event and was due for release at the end of last year, it missed that date but it looks like it is going to be well worth the wait.
Real Racing 3 lets gamers compete against friends and rival drivers from around the world. Fans can race on real world circuits with powerful dream cars from all-new manufacturers like Porsche, Audi, and Dodge. With the improvements achieved with Real Racing 2, the team aimed to raise the bar on expectations and continue to give their artists the ability to create the most realistic graphic effects on cars on an individual basis. Including realistic reflections, customizable cars and improved details down to glosses and finishes, Real Racing 3 delivers the unique experience of speeding in some of the best cars on world famous race tracks.
Also in the latest Developer Diary video, Rob Murray of Firemonkeys talks us through the process of creating a new track from scratch; this time in their own backyard, Melbourne Australia. The process is quite interesting especially as the Melbourne track that they created isn't based on any real world track but was created from scratch from the streets of Melbourne.
Take a look at the video below and try and contain your excitement; Real Racing 3 is set to arrive in the App Store sometime in February. It looks like being Firemonkeys best version yet; and that is some achievement if it turns out that way. I personally cannot wait to get my hands on this one!
