Any producer or production company – of any scale, subsidised or commercial – is eligible for this award. Judged on criteria including (but not limited to) artistic quality, business success and innovation
Award sponsored by PRG XL Video
Michael Harrison
Behind Sonia, Nica, Cameron and Andrew, a new generation of commercial producers is emerging. At the vanguard is Michael Harrison, not yet 40, who already has a string of hits to his name.
He is undisputed king of the commercial panto as managing director of Qdos Entertainment, and is also a seasoned West End and touring producer. Standout projects in 2017 included working with Mel Brooks on the musical adaptation of Young Frankenstein [1], which opened in the West End this October.
Also going strong in Theatreland is Harrison's revival of Annie. Earlier in the year, Miranda Hart made her West End debut as Miss Hannigan, a role that would also be performed by Craig Revel Horwood and Meera Syal.
Annie review at Piccadilly Theatre, London – 'Miranda Hart gives winning performance' [2]
Outside London, Harrison is producing two shows with Curve in Leicester – Sunset Boulevard [3] and Scrooge [4] – and is touring Funny Girl [5] and the Carole King musical Beautiful [6].
His shows are not just making a splash at home. His production of The Bodyguard [7] is touring Germany, Australia, the US and China.
Harrison once said he has no time for hobbies: he goes to bed thinking about producing, wakes up thinking about it, "and I dream about it too".
Read our interview with Michael Harrison [8]
He has overseen more than 100 pantomimes over the years – more than 30 in 2017/18 – and directed three. For the second year running, he's bringing pantomime back to the London Palladium [9] after a 30-year absence.
This year he received the freedom of the city of Newcastle upon Tyne – his home city – for his services to theatre in the region, a worthy accolade for an increasingly established leading light of the new guard.
Hull City of Culture
Four years ago, the announcement that Hull was to be UK City of Culture [10] in 2017 was met with titters in some quarters. They're not laughing now. The arts programming has revitalised the city, and will continue to do so.
Hull UK City of Culture to continue as permanent arts company [11]
Hull City Council set up an independent company to deliver a year of transformational cultural activity, overseen by chief executive and director Martin Green and executive director Fran Hegyi.
As well as the Turner Prize, street parades, giant art installations and light shows, Hull hosted a series of groundbreaking performance pieces: Blast Theory's interactive art project, Curious Directive's virtual-reality work and Slung Low's Flood, which was broadcast on television, online and performed live on a floating stage.
Flood Part Two: Abundance review at Victoria Dock, Hull – 'visually stunning' [12]
Hull New Theatre reopened after a £16 million refurbishment [13] with a performance from the Royal Ballet, while Hull Truck Theatre's season included Richard Bean's The Hypocrite [14] about Hull governor John Hotham. Of those who saw it, 38% had never been to the theatre before.
Read our interview with Hull Truck Theatre's Mark Babych [15]
The city's museums and galleries have welcomed more than a million visitors, with 90% of local residents experiencing at least one City of Culture event in the first three months.
Theatremakers have hailed 2017 as the start of something special: pieces by Middle Child Theatre, Bellow Theatre, Silent Uproar and Pub Corner Poets were among the most raved-about shows at the Edinburgh Fringe [16].
The East Yorkshire city won the bid by pitching to "coming out of the shadows". After a successful year of arts programming – and a £60 million boost from visitors – it has more than lived up to that promise.
Sadler's Wells, London
In another strong year, Sadler's Wells has worked closely with innovative artists on pieces that push the boundaries of contemporary dance. Since 2016, it has co-commissioned and co-produced 16 new dance works, many of which had audiences and critics in raptures.
Among this year's extraordinary work, Betroffenheit [17], drawn from personal trauma, was electric. The co-production, created by associate artists Crystal Pite with writer and actor Jonathon Young, won the best new dance production Olivier award.
The London venue staged two well-received pieces by associate artist Wayne McGregor. Tree of Codes, acclaimed at the Manchester International Festival, was called "exhilarating" by The Stage when the collaboration with musician Jamie xx and artist Olafur Eliasson finally arrived in the capital this year.
Wayne McGregor's Tree of Codes review at Sadler's Wells, London – 'exhilarating' [18]
McGregor was back later in the year for another co-production, Autobiography [19], for which he worked with geneticists to sequence his genome. He led his own Sadler's Wells resident company for the show: Company Wayne McGregor.
A sought-after co-production was with Carlos Acosta, for the first show of the former Royal Ballet star's new dance company Acosta Danza [20].
The co-production of Akram Khan's new version of Giselle [21] won associate company English National Ballet the outstanding achievement in dance at the Olivier Awards and the South Bank Sky Arts award for dance.
Since 2005, Sadler's Wells has brought more than 130 new dance works to the stage. It sets out to be a world-leading company dedicated to dance in all its forms, conjuring up work that fires the imagination. This year, it has surely succeeded.

The coach and the quarterback made one thing perfectly clear on Friday, and that is they both want to continue doing what they are doing in 2013.
�I do want to coach,� coach Andy Reid said.
And the quarterback?
�I want to be a starter in this league,� Michael Vick said. �I can�t see myself not being a starter right now. I just feel like I have too much talent and too much to offer.�
Vick will get a surprise start Sunday (1 p.m.) in East Rutherford when the Eagles� season mercifully ends against the Giants. The start comes because rookie Nick Foles broke his throwing hand last week against the Redskins, in the Birds� 11th loss of a season that swirled down the drain during an eight-game losing streak that spanned two months.
It may be the final time Vick suits up in an Eagles uniform, and it most certainly could be the last time Reid is seen in the vicinity of the Eagles sideline.
The coach could get pink-slipped as early as Sunday evening, if Eagles CEO/Chairman Jeffery decides to make the announcement via a press release with a scheduled press conference later in the week. Or he could go straight to a New Year�s Eve day presser and tell Eagles fans what they fully expect to hear.
As if staring down the barrel of a 4-12 season isn�t embarrassing enough, the Eagles learned on Wednesday that they didn�t have a single player picked to play in the Pro Bowl. The best they could do was landing a third alternate in guard Evan Mathis.
Reid said that he and Lurie haven�t spoken about the future beyond 4:30 p.m. Sunday, right around the time the Eagles and Giants should be finishing up.
The coach has been consistent with talking about only the upcoming opponent despite repeated attempts to get more out of him regarding his future.
It was all anyone could do to get him to talk about whether or not he would take a year off next year should he get fired, or if he would accept a job in a front office somewhere � perhaps even the NovaCare Complex.
�Listen, I don�t know what I�d do without the media,� Reid joked. �I want to coach. That�s what I want to do.�
Vick was more candid about what potentially lies ahead, but even he admitted that he isn�t peeking beyond late Sunday afternoon, either. Not yet.
�I can�t even see that far ahead right now,� he said. �I try to live in the present. I can�t really dictate my future as of right now. I just have to go as everything goes. Like I�ve said, I believe in myself and I believe I have a lot of football to play. Hopefully, things will work out, who knows where?�
Vick is due to make $15.5 million if he is on the roster next season and the Birds would owe him a $3 million bonus if he is still on the team just days after the Super Bowl.
Asked whether or not he would like to return to the Eagles, Vick said: �I have to just sit back and think about what has transpired and look at the situation as a whole. Of course you would like to come back and play. I love the organization and I love what they�ve done for me. That�s genuine and I�m not just saying that.
�Outside of football, the relationships that I�ve been able to develop and the personalities that are in the building � I�ve never been so close to so many people that I�ve worked with. If not, it�s been wonderful and I understand the nature of this business. At some point, we all have to move on.�
Vick�s last sentence really resonates.
For now, though, Vick starts one more game and Reid coaches one more game.

Dr. Thomas Sowell and Dr. Walter E. Williams are well-known in conservative circles, yet it seems the world ignores everything they say. Even the conservatives in the past, like George Bush and others, seem to ignore the economic warnings they give out. One explanation of this is that good economics often is seen as bad politics, while bad economics may help in the short run, but only can get you elected. Bad economics cannot sustain success.
These men consistently expose the racism in, whether inadvertent or purposeful, in the "progressive" policies of the left. In actuality, these policies can be more accurately called "regressive", as they only hamper the success of the individual and grow the government. The liberal media loves to write them off, and promote Keynesian economics, which encourages more spending.
They also show how race has been mishandled in America, however folks would rather listen to cultural Marxists and socialist idealism than actual realism. The realism of these men is as follows, that culture matters, and affects results. Thomas Sowell wrote about this extensively in his book Black Rednecks and White Liberals.
This happens to be one of my favorite books on culture in America. Sowell breaks down the history of culture in America and other areas in the world. In so doing, he demonstrates over and over that culture matters more than race. When a culture is bad, the people suffer, and when it encourages hard work and thrift, the people thrive.
A simple concept really, yet so hard for the masses to accept. The main issue is responsibility to create a winning culture, and in an American society where everyone blames everyone else, that does not fly. Saying that the effects of the minimum wage hurt black people is sacrilege. Explaining that a welfare state is never good for anyone is taboo.
Common sense is ignored. Yet as these men age, a new group of young people are rising up. Men like Jason Riley, Allen West, Lenny McAllister and others are speaking out. Others are in the legislature, like Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Tim Scott, and Will Hurd. The idea that freedom is what is best for all people is common sense, yet it is all too often ignored.
With these men, and the young libertarian movement, there is hope that all common sense is not lost. There is hope that conversations about issues that may offend, but ultimately lead to solutions, will occur. Let us not be discouraged by what the media shows, but be encouraged but what is actually out in the world. There is hope, but the agents of that hope need to succeed for it to be realized.

I'm creating the root window on the init of the GUI like that :
Code: Select all
// Create the root window and set it as root window.
CEGUI::Window* RootWindow = CEGUI::WindowManager::getSingleton().createWindow( "DefaultWindow", "Root" );
CEGUI::System::getSingleton().getDefaultGUIContext().setRootWindow( RootWindow );
RootWindow->setMousePassThroughEnabled( true );
When I load layout I set the root of the loaded layout as child.
I have to set setMousePassThroughEnabled to true to not have the input issue because I bypass my events based on the return of the events of CEGUI.
Is it the correct method to use CEGUI ?

Book; Born in the 1940s - Tim Glynne-Jones. Hardcover
This product is currently sold out.
Take an amazing stroll down Memory Lane with this wonderful collection of photographs from the 1940s, which evokes those Happy Days when everyone pulled together to defeat Hitler and kept smiling despite the hardship of the post-war years.
Over 90 photographs are accompanied by a witty and moving commentary describing a decade when the 'Three Rs' ruled in every classroom, it was safe for children to play out on the streets and boys had sensible names like James, Robert and John, while the top three names for girls were Mary, Barbara and Patricia. A companion volume to Born in the 50s and Born in the 60s, this is guaranteed to produce a golden glow in every reader, and a perfect family gift.
The Forties was a decade of two halves: the war years and the post war rebuilding. It was a time of the austerity and courage, collective spirit and healthy diets, an era of reform and reconstructing and a glimpse of the the modern world to come.
This defining decade is captured here in words and pictures that bring the memories flooding back.
Although this book is from Britain it will strike a strong chord with Australians who were born during or, just after, the war years. Back then Australia was very British and most of these photos could well have been taken in Sydney, Melbourne or any Australian city or suburb.

This is the first in a series.
The Small Room
by ELLEN COPPERFIELD
Mervyn Peake's first home was in a Western enclave in northeast China, in the port of Tientsin. If you walked out his front door for more than a few minutes, you would experience the foreignness of the place wholesale: therefore Mervyn's parents (his father was a doctor) and his older brother Lonnie felt it was best if Mervyn, in his first years, kept to the premises of their Victorian home.
At first the house, built almost entirely of grey stone, would be enough for him. The year was 1913. In his notes for an autobiography of this period, Mervyn wrote, "Whatever happens, I return and I must return to the compound. Now that I shall see China no more... I am lost without the long dry compound."
In this very English home, the family's cook entertained Mervyn by allowing him to kill the chickens for their meals. Dogs, parrots and monkeys were all common sights in the compound. As a child Mervyn began writing rather early. In one note he listed his "Fears": "the black jersey, the shapes of clothes hung over chair backs, the changeling." It was not living things which scared him. In Tientsin Mervyn joined the local Boy Scout troop.
Summers were intensely hot in the city. As far north as Tientsin was situated, the winters could be monstrous, too. Mervyn rode a donkey to his first day of school. He found other children engaging, and became best friends with a one-eyed Russian boy who possessed a natural wild streak. "He is my God," Mervyn noted in his journal. Confined to his Western education, Mervyn was naturally curious about the world outside his enclave. He learned Mandarin, and spoke the language until he died.
When he escaped the compound, he saw lepers and homeless who his father treated medically, and patiently moved from stall to stall where various meats and goods were sold. Chinese medicine was in a state of perpetual infancy, so Dr. Peake trained assistants in basic hygiene and physiology. He went door-to-door to find the pregnant women of Tiantsin so he might administer basic prenatal care.
Mervyn was fascinated by the procedures his father performed, but the sight of needles and blood made him queasy. Still, he sympathized with the deeply ill, finding empathy for amputees, lepers, and other victims of disease. In the summer of 1917, Dr. Peake had plenty of patients: the city had flooded and the heat was unbearable. Mervyn stuck his head into watermelons to cool off. When the heat became too much, the family went to an English mountain resort in the town of Kuling:
Mervyn's mother Bessie was also a missionary, and she and her husband took Mervyn all over China once he was old enough. Shanghai was the most modern place Mervyn had been, and he found it "a frozen, icy, tinkling horro of mules and motor cars, western houses.... A stench of sweetmeats and dung."
Mervyn, the man who would become England's finest illustrator and a mercurially talented novelist, was already drawing what he could. His father Ernest possessed an artistic inclination, photographing all of the strange sights he saw, including radical surgery. He let his young son view these images at the boy's leisure, and Mervyn would try to draw some of them, reimagining others.
When his wife developed heart problems, Dr. Peake moved the family back to England, purchasing a practice in Surrey, and taking over an estate called Woodcroft. Dr. Peake smoked a pipe and was generally regarded as somewhat strange; such traits are usually written off in a man of medicine. Mervyn was enrolled in Eltham College, where he sometimes ran afoul of the rules. Punishment involved a caning to his precious hands.
To get along, Mervyn further developed his own interests. His cryptic journals of that time in school enumerate what these may have been: "The invisible man. The watchers. Jewels inside hooting like an owl. The sleepwalkers. The fire in the small room." He might have been expelled from the place as a twelve year old if he had not possessed such a stunning talent for art. Although he read constantly, his spelling was never remotely palatable and he probably suffered from a learning disability. By far his favorite book was Treasure Island.
Even though he liked Eltham, he never graduated or performed well in the place. His instructors frequently remarked upon his uncleanliness, but he rarely quarrelled with fellow students. His brother was working as an accountant in the Phillipines, and Mervyn's career path was relatively obvious. He enrolled in the Croydon School of Art, two stops away by train from his home at Woodcroft. He did not even last the year there before transferring to a Royal Academy in Piccadilly in 1929.
On his left hand he wore a silver ring with a large, green stone. It was here that Mervyn Peake encountered the opposite sex for the first time in his life.

There is more to the Mitzva of Lulav than taking hold of the four species and making a Bracha. The preferred manner of performing the Mitzva is to wave the Lulav in all six directions. This includes the four horizontal directions as well as upwards and downwards. This waving is called נענועים.
The meaning of these Na'anuim is mentioned in the Talmud in מסכת סוכה as follows: One waves to the four directions to Him who owns the four directions. One waves up and down to acknowledge Him who owns the Heaven and the Earth. That is to say that the four species is an allusion to G-d's having created all of existence, and there is none besides Him.
One is supposed to do this waving with great Kavana and הכנעה, surrender, that everything in this world depends completely on Hashem. In short, the נענועים is meant to be a highly spiritual exercise. Chag Sameach

We took our favorite trip to San Diego in June! I had timed it perfectly to fall between the halfway point of my summer semester. I finished up two classes right before we left...literally. I gave a presentation in my last class and then hit the road! We only drove to St. George on the first day because we couldn't get an early start. It worked out perfect that Debby was going to be staying in St. George that night for work so we got to stay with her! The kids loved that! We went out to dinner and ice cream with her.
|109 degrees in St. George! So hot!
|We made it to San Diego the next day around 3:00. We had this cute birthday cake that Samantha made for Chloe. She is very talented!
|Samantha and Chloe
|The next day was BEACH DAY! We go to my favorite beach Torrey Pines.
|Heaven on earth!
|Keaton loved to boogie board!
|Shelby and Kelsey. Shelby has made friends with Kelsey over the past few years of us going to California. She belongs to one of Michele's good friends.
|Chloe wasn't nervous this year about the water. She loved it!
|Building sand castles
|Samantha buried her BFF Mackenzie as a mermaid!
|Samantha and Michele just got two tiny kittens a few weeks before we got there. The kids spent almost all of their time with them when we were home.
|The next day we went to a aquarium in Chula Vista. The kids liked seeing the fish and we were able to see a shark feeding and a sting ray feeding.
|Keaton liked touching the sting rays.
|I love this picture of Chloe on the swing.
|We went to the beach again the next day. The kids were on the boogie boards for hours!
|Samantha was nice enough to pull Chloe around on one.
|Our last day was spent at the club. We swam while Samantha had a tennis lesson.
|She is a great player!
That night we went to Old Town and enjoyed some awesome food! I woke up at 3:30 the next morning and drove all the way home. It was the easiest drive yet and we only had to stop 2 times.

As the US government conducts the first comprehensive analysis of the the entire US Copyright Act in over 40 years, this may be the right time to take a deeper look at each of the four entities currently in charge of this review. How have these institutions adapted themselves to the fast-changing musical landscape, increasingly shaped by technological changes over the years? We should bear in mind that the Copyright Act was enacted in 1976, and that its last major amendment – the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) – was enacted in 1998.
Did you know that, in the US, the music industry is highly regulated by the federal
government? This is where it becomes necessary to get better acquainted with the four abovementioned entities:
1. The U.S. Copyright Office;
2. The House of Representatives Judiciary Committee and the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet;
3. The U.S. Department of Justice;
4. The Department of Commerce Internet Policy Task Force, spearheaded by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
What are their respective roles, and what are the current major developments in the legislative arena? In other words, what does the future hold for music copyright law in the US?

This exclusive white paper was written by Dina LaPolt, entertainment attorney at LaPolt Law (US), an entertainment law firm that specialises in representing clients in the music, film, television, merchandising and book publishing industries. It provides a perfect background reading for the copyright panels at Midem (June 5-8), developed in association with the International Association of Entertainment Lawyers (IAEL).

San Francisco Flamenco Dance Co. presents the premiere of Mares: Myths, Migrations and the Mothers of Flamenco
Featuring world class flamenco artists from Spain including guitarist Antonia Jimenez, gypsy flamenco singers Kina Mendez and Jose Cortes and percussionist Luis de la Tota
Artistic Director Kerensa DeMars
Saturday, September 17, 8pm
Sunday, September 18, 2pm
Mares: Myths, Migrations and the Mothers of Flamenco, a Flamenco dance performance inspired by controversial female Flamenco artists of the 20th century, is an exploration into the shaping of tradition by breaking with tradition. The intrepid women of Flamenco in the 20th century, the "mothers" of modern Flamenco, are the inspiration for the collective work and individual choreographies.
These women broke with tradition and marked new pathways for the art form. From Carmen Amaya wearing pants on stage to Spain's first out lesbian Gypsy Flamenco dancer, they have opened doors, creating new Flamenco traditions. The San Francisco Flamenco Dance Co., under the artistic direction of Kerensa DeMars, partners with world class Flamenco artists from Spain to bring this production to the stage.
Musical Director Antonia Jimenez is one of the very few professional female Flamenco guitarists in the world. A native Spaniard, she has risen to prominence in the international Flamenco community with her expertise both as a guitarist and composer. Jimenez will make her San Francisco debut with Mares. Gypsy Flamenco singers Kina Mendez and Jose Cortes will be joined by expert percussionist Luis de la Tota to create a rich, vibrant and authentic soundscape for the choreography. Flamenco dancer and choreographer Melissa Cruz performs as a featured soloist.
This presentation is made possible in part by the San Francisco Arts Commission.

No matter how far we come in life, we never forget the people and places that have shaped us along the way. For me, one such place is the University of Texas at Dallas, where I earned my undergraduate degree in biology. I went back to visit my alma mater recently, and it reminded me of how much I owe to UT Dallas—most importantly because it's where my passion for medicine was first kindled.
While I was visiting my old school, I got a chance to talk to the folks at The Link, the UT Dallas newsletter for alumni, faculty, staff and friends of the university, and they were kind enough to ask if they could tell my story in their next issue. I thought I'd share it here with all of you:
In her office, just a block from San Francisco's famed Union Square, plastic surgeon Dr. Usha Rajagopal BS'82 is at the pinnacle of a career that began with a cell biology class at UT Dallas.
"This was an incredibly demanding class," she explained. "It was taught by Dr. Jost Kemper, who was equally demanding but in a highly encouraging way. I learned so much in that class, about cell biology and also about myself."
Rajagopal moved to Dallas two years after her parents, so that she could finish high school in her native India. Her father took a job as an accountant with the city of Dallas with hopes of providing a better life for his family. Two years later he died unexpectedly, leaving Rajagopal, her mother and a younger sister with a big decision . . .

Top 5 Adobe Illustrator Tutorials on Tuts+ in October 2013
Welcome to this month's catch up showcasing our favorite Adobe Illustrator tutorials available on Tuts+. We publish tutorials on techniques and effects to make awesome vector graphics in Illustrator. My name is Sharon Milne, the Vector and Drawing Editor on Tuts+ and it is my pleasure to share with the Illustrator community five of our most interesting and popular tutorials published during October 2013.
Create a Sliced Kiwi Fruit With Only One Shape in Adobe Illustrator
I keep on recommending to people to use the Appearance panel and Graphic Styles. It's one of those features of Adobe Illustrator which is insanely powerful once you know how to use it. With that, I put together a beginners tutorial showing you how to create a sliced kiwi fruit with only one shape… which has a total of four points. I kid you not.
You can check out more of my work over on my Behance and Facebook.
Create an iOS 7 Inspired Tab Bar Icon Set in Adobe Illustrator
Chris Carey created another stellar tutorial last month, this time around it was on creating iOS7 inspired icons. You'll go through the process of learning how to create each icon shown here, in both active states.
You can check out more of Chris's work over on his DeviantART.
Create an Easy, Retro Pumpkin Card in Adobe Illustrator
Nataliya Dolotko hit it out the park again last month, with another basic shape tutorial on creating this festive retro pumpkin. Her tutorials are ideal for beginners and show how you create cheerful characters out of the most basic shapes and tools in Illustrator.
You can check out more of Nataliya's work over on her website.
Use Stroke Textures to Enhance a Halloween Illustration in Illustrator
Ivan Petrusevski created his first tutorial for us last month and blew away our readers. He has a unique look to his illustrative work. Although it appears simple, he uses a great technique to add subtle textures to his shapes. It's this trick that takes his work to the next level. We're hoping to see more from him in the future, so keep your eyes open if you're a fan of this style.
You can check out more of Ivan's work over on his website.
Create a Tim Burton Inspired Bride of Frankenstein in Illustrator
The King of Halloween, Tim Burton, inspired Yulia Sokolova's tutorial this month. She created this Bride of Frankenstein using some great mirroring effects and gradients.
You can check out more of Yulia's work over on her website.
Tis the Season to be Spooky!
October is always a great month for vector artists. Not only do you have Halloween, but the first couple of days of November, you have Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead). Both events are always highly inspiring. We took it to the next level in October, and provided our readers with three weeks of Halloween and Day of the Dead vector content!
What made the three weeks even more special, was that we ran a Skull Decoration Challenge, asking the community to get their creative juices flowing and decorate a skull template we provided. We received over 100 designs! Not only this, Penns Grove High School (in New Jersey), took on the challenge and all submitted their designs.
Halloween and Day of the Dead Vector Content
The above designs are by Tuts+ readers: Tysia00, Lindsey Henderson, Annika, Dijana Dević
On behalf of the Vector Author Team on Tuts+, I'd like to thank you for checking out this months top five. There's plenty more being posted every week day in a variety of areas.
Keep up to date by following the vector section of Tuts+ on Facebook and Twitter. Until next time, have an infinitely scalable month!

Game People Calling: Dark Games Are Good for the SoulGame People Calling - RSS 2.0
Although the darker side of videogames is often seen as a threat, it can actually be quite beneficial. Games provide experiences that let us examine our dark side and bring us face to face with our fears in a healthy way.
The media focuses attention on games that can generate shocking headlines, but ironically they often miss the really disturbing titles. There are many games that have to be played at length before they give up their dark themes, so in talking about dark games that are good for us to play, it's important to consider both the headline toppers, and other, less controversial, games that are just as dark.
Games that place us in a collapsing world are interesting because they engage us with our powerlessness. Whether it's BioShock's utopian dream gone bad or Fallout 3's post-apocalyptic landscape, we are caught up in events too big for us to control. These post-modern scenarios uncover our inability to tame the world we are born into. Instead we are left trying to work out how to survive in the aftermath of our parents' broken dreams.
One of the most visceral and criticized moments of these war-torn experiences is found Modern Warfare 2's infamous No Russian level. As the world is now more than aware, you infiltrate a terrorist group and take part in an attack on civilians in an airport. But beyond the kneejerk reactions about young adults shooting innocent bystanders there is a darker question unfolding here - what price should we pay for our security? There is potential to understand our personal reaction to the fearful choices that we face to preserve our freedom.
The flipside of these world-collapsing games are experiences that address the dark consequence of our own world-forming decisions. Fable 2 lets us become the master of Albion and then confronts us with the fearful consequence of the decisions we have to make. Similarly, Shadow of the Colossus grants us great power to slay monsters, but then subtly questions whether this is really the right thing to do. Here we are the creators of potential utopias, but there is doubt and uncertainty brooding in the air.
Perhaps the most penetrating are games that dial things down to the individual and confront us with the darkness of our own moral freedom. Grand Theft Auto's sandbox world grants us a space in which we can run riot if we wish. We can choose not only whether to avail ourselves of prostitutes, but also whether we pay or do away with them afterwards. Behind the bravado is a small window on how it feels to encounter these sorts of decisions.
More chaotic games like Wolfenstein, Doom and Quake build experiences out of dismemberment and blood splatter. They are an easy target for criticism because they wear their violence on their sleeves. But there is much more to these games than one shocking death after another. They build real tension as you battle your way through wave after wave of enemy. You face the dark fact that you are alone in a world of chaos with only your wits to preserve you.

Let's see… strange pitches for June included vaporizers, various watches that say they will do just about anything, next-generation active-wear and magnets.
Magnets? Hmmmm.
I became more interested when these magnets were billed as the strongest magnets in the world.
The verbage says, "up to 50x stronger than any normal refrigerator magnet and it's made from Grade 5 Titanium, the same stuff used to make fighter Jets!"
I had to keep reading.
Who couldn't use another refrigerator magnet? But these are so much more.
Resembling little colorful bullets, the TiMaGs look great and they work.
While they do everything a traditional magnet would do, these little powerhouses take it up a notch.
Ever try to pull a tiny or wedged in battery out of a device? It's tough if you are a guy and don't have long fingernails. The TiMaG does a great job and grabs a hold of the battery and doesn't let go.
Need to hang a picture frame on the wall? The TiMag serves as a stud saver and finder. Just slide the TiMaG Magnet across the wall and you will feel the pull or maybe your magnet will stick to the wall when you encounter a metal stud. A bonus, with a 5.5 pound pull, the TiMaGs are strong enough for holding up any pictures and most shadow boxes.
I'm sure you have a water heater, but do you want to hear a little known fact? You can actually prevent corrosion inside your water heater by placing a TiMaG right on the freshwater intake pipe. If you don't know what that is, you can Google it. By doing this, the TiMaG will catch metallic calcium particles that can cause serious damage to pipes, etc. Over time, they can ruin your working water hear and cause more than $1200 in damage.
The TiMaG comes in two styles: solid or keychain style with a hole in the center. The hole is just the right size to fit a keychain through, so you always have a TiMaG with you.
TiMaGs are made right here in the gold ole USA and specifically in Iowa. It's listed as a Kickstarter product, but it's out; I have two right here in my hand. I usually won't write about crowdfunding campaigns, but since I was able to try and hold this item, I'm writing this review.
You can get one TiMaG for about $15 and two for about $22. The more you order, the price does go down.
I love it. Magnets will never go out of style and now I have a TiMaG super magnet to do all my dirty work. It's a workhorse and a powerhouse.

Brazil is in tatters. The economy is in a deepening recession: Last Tuesday, Moody's downgraded Brazil's credit rating to just about junk. A massive corruption scandal involving the national oil company Petrobras has ensnared scores of politicians and businessmen. The legislature is in revolt. President Dilma Rousseff's popularity rating, less than a year after her re-election, is down to one digit, and nationwide protests on Sunday reverberated with calls for her impeachment.
In all this turbulence, it is easy to miss the good news: the fortitude of Brazil's democratic institutions. In pursuing bribery at Petrobras, federal prosecutors from a special anticorruption unit of the Public Ministry have not been deterred by rank or power, dealing a blow to the entrenched culture of immunity among government and business elites. Former Petrobras executives have been arrested; the wealthy chief executive of the construction giant Odebrecht, Marcelo Odebrecht, is under arrest; the admiral who oversaw Brazil's secret nuclear program has been arrested, and many others face scrutiny, including Ms. Rousseff's predecessor and mentor, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Though the investigations have created huge political problems for Ms. Rousseff and have raised questions about her seven-year tenure as the chairwoman of Petrobras, before she became president, she has admirably made no effort to constrain or influence the investigations. On the contrary, she has consistently emphasized that no one is above the law, and has supported a new term for the prosecutor general in charge of the Petrobras probe, Rodrigo Janot.
So far, the investigations have found no evidence of illegal actions on her part. And while she is no doubt responsible for policies and much of the mismanagement that have laid Brazil's economy low, these are not impeachable offenses. Forcing Ms. Rousseff out of office without any concrete evidence of wrongdoing would do serious damage to a democracy that has been gaining strength for 30 years without any balancing benefit. And there is nothing to suggest that any leaders in the wings would do a better job with the economy.
There is no question that Brazilians are facing tough and frustrating times, and things are likely to get worse before they get better. Ms. Rousseff is also in for a lot more trouble and criticism. But the solution must not be to undermine the democratic institutions that are ultimately the guarantors of stability, credibility and honest government.

HEADSCARVES have been feminine gear across ages and cultures, with and without wimples, and in Western as well as Eastern Europe until recently. We all wore them in the second world war. A headscarf is the royal Queen's favorite hat, and worn by the English aristocracy in the field. Headscarves are useful, versatile, cheap, attractive and the best solution for a bad hair day, which for many of us is most days. Headscarves should always be top fashion statements regardless of religion. You can't tell religion from a headscarf.
BURQUAS are not statements of Islam. They are Arabic. In the East, example in the biggest Islamic nation of Indonesia, no-one until recently wore a burqa and a headscrarf was worn only when you wanted one, and usually showed the hair.

True. Blood. Series. Freakin. Three. Yeeeeeessssss.
I hate chain stores with one exception: jb hi fi. JB has to be one of the greatest places on earth. It stocks all the cds I want/need/don't have time to listen to and today while on work in Ballarat I was there and like a kid in a candy store. When I'm there normally I suddenly can't make a cohesive or informed decision, my knees go shaky at all the options and I lurch towards the counter with handfuls of indie alternative cds, sweating. But of late I've taken steps to counter this primal urge that takes me over in JB by keeping a handy list on my phone. Damn I'm clever, and out I walked with 3 cds directly from my list; I heart Hiroshima, does it offend you yeah? and the darwin dees. And True Blood S3, we love Sookie Stackhouse and her crazy friends. I was going to have a point about chain stores how they make you choose between quality and price and suck you in with temporary bargains which you regret later but that only applies if you let them do that and I won't hear a bad word about JB.
While in the regional city of B-rat, I stumbled across this tiny little shop with my new married name proudly helping them to sell flowers. Cool typeface.
Now, I promised a name for you DD how about Mrs? I feel like it's a new era that needs to be acknowledged somehow. Corny? Maybe, we'll see how I feel about it tomorrow.

Our language and literature classroom is an ideal environment for rigorous teaching, informed research, and inspired learning. As such, it vitally reflects the mission of Saint Joseph's University. We search for a greater awareness and understanding of human beings in a variety of cultural settings. By achieving precise and effective communication in the languages of the world, we share a connectedness with peoples of all walks of life and engage with a rich diversity of ideas, cultures, and political, social, and religious systems.
Students at SJU may elect to major or minor in:
Students may also take courses in ancient Greek, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Russian, and Spanish.
In addition, we offer degree programs in Ancient Cultures (major and minor), Italian Studies (major only), Latin American Studies (minor only), Linguistics (major and minor), and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (major and minor)
We admire the aesthetic and intellectual achievements of these cultures while we also show compassion for their poor and needy. The study of the languages and literatures of the world enables us to better ourselves by becoming more globally aware and culturally sensitive, and it informs the way we think about ourselves as we fulfill our desires and responsibilities in civic and private spheres. We embrace the Ignatian vision of educating "men and women for others" by fostering inclusiveness both inside and outside the classroom.
Our courses are by nature interdisciplinary, highlighting connections with fields as varied as history, fine arts, philosophy, gender studies, film studies, and the social and natural sciences. Students are thereby encouraged to relate their work in our classrooms to other areas of study. Many of our majors opt to complement their language studies with a double major or a minor in disciplines such as political science, international relations, English, math, psychology, business, or fine arts. Thanks to a program developed in conjunction with the Department of Education, future teachers can obtain certification in secondary education for French, German, Latin and Spanish.
All students pursuing a major or minor in Classical Studies, French, German, Italian, or Spanish complete a required number of courses at the upper-division level. Yet these curriculum requirements offer students flexibility and choice, and majors and minors participate in shaping their own program of study. Every semester, they may choose from their language program's offerings of upper-division courses and decide how they wish to configure their class schedules. They are encouraged to incorporate their own individual interests and specializations into their class research and creative projects. They also have opportunities to study abroad for a semester through several outstanding SJU affiliated and fully accredited programs inArgentina, Chile, El Salvador, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, and Spain.
We seek to immerse ourselves in the languages and cultures of our neighbors around the world and at home—click here to view the Modern Language Association map showing which languages are spoken in the United States—welcoming their uniqueness as well as their capacity to enrich our own cultural identity.
We are a faculty of enthusiastic teachers dedicated to helping our students accomplish their goals and realize their utmost human potential. Devoted to the Jesuit vision of cura personalis—concern for the individual student—we challenge students to achieve the full development of their individual talents and we foster their intellectual and spiritual growth. Consequently, as teachers and academic advisors we provide our students with personalized attention and sound guidance. No less committed to our research than to our teaching and advising, we are also active scholars, presenting our work in publications and at conferences in the United States and overseas. These scholarly pursuits go hand-in-hand with teaching, as our research interests and experiences abroad animate our courses. Both in and out of the classroom, our passion for what we do is evident.
Enjoy browsing our pages. We look forward to meeting you or hearing from you soon!

Just 'cause you think it, doesn't mean it's so…
This week's show is going to focus on a few different topics, but have a grander theme – just because you think/believe/remember it, doesn't mean you're right.
Whether it's false-memory syndrome, a belief that doesn't jibe w/ how you actually live your life (cognitive dissonance), or insisting on a belief system despite all evidence to the contrary (creationism), everyone has some ideas rambling around in their brain that maybe should be re-examined.
Tune in this Friday at 6 o'clock, MST on 88.5 FM or online at http://www.cjsr.com. Remember you can (and should!) participate – firstname.lastname@example.com or 780-492-2577, x. 1.

A gift of securities provides an innovative and creative way to make a charitable gift and can include stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Federal incentives introduced in early 2006 have made it very attractive to donate publicly listed securities that have appreciated in value. Canadians are not taxed on the capital gain when they donate securities to a charity.
When securities are donated to Theatre Calgary, a charitable receipt is issued for the fair market value of the gift. This is determined by the closing price on the date the securities are received by Theatre Calgary.
Transferring securities is easy. To initiate a transfer, print and complete a securities transfer form and send a copy to your broker and Theatre Calgary. This authorizes your broker to transfer the securities to Theatre Calgary.
To transfer securities or to learn more, please email or call Shirley Yurchi at 403-294-7440, ext. 1002.

To be sure, there are so many different reasons to visit the Smoky Mountains all throughout the year. Yet those who are in the know always realize that there are special moments to savor during the off season. Let's discuss some special winter joys!
1. A little privacy. Without much effort, you can achieve immediate seating in your favorite restaurant, or park directly in front of your chosen store at the outlet mall. You can even take that road less traveled virtually alone. If it's mostly locals in town, then they are too busy in their normal workaday world to be joining you on your vacation trek—though we seriously wish we could! During January, the Smokies are more wholly your own. You can go where you can't easily reach when it is more crowded with tourists during high seasons and weekends (like New Year's and MLK long weekends this month).
Even better, it's much easier to be romantic. You don't have to be a February Valentine to share together time: on a trail, over dinner, seeing a dinner show or a movie. What an easy date without much effort!
2. A little bargain (or a lot of them). Off season has its budgeting benefits. Choices of cabin lodging are both more plentiful and more affordable, and often specials are available (check our link here). Several local restaurants have deals for weekday lunches (like Alamo Steakhouse and Bennett's BBQ in Pigeon Forge, and Chophouse in Sevierville). Shopping outlets begin to clear seasonal inventory after the holiday rush. Use your Christmas cash to snag some great finds. Local theaters run specials on admission and combination ticket package deals are also available at attractions like the Ripley's venues.

3. A little snow (maybe)! Weather changes quickly this time of year. We can literally have 60 degrees one day and snowfall the next. To guarantee yourself some white stuff fun, head to Ober Gatlinburg Amusement Resort. There are 10 ski trails total (with mass quantity snowmaking ability), snow tubing, and an indoor Olympic size ice skating rink, among other venues. So you can spend time both outdoors and inside, creating winter sports memories with your family. It's one of our favorite places to play during winter.

Or, just enjoy the living room fireplace in your cabin, with a hot cup of your favorite beverage. Do you need to recover from the holiday madness? Want to start off the new year with a resolution of more relaxation? Just need a quick overnight getaway with that special someone? Plan now to take the time to inhale the fresh air, to anticipate the fresh new year, and find that fresh, peaceful attitude that is yours for the taking in our mountains in January. I promise you won't be disappointed! Call us at Volunteer Cabin Rentals to schedule your getaway with us today.
