Formed in 1986, SACRED REICH is part of the second wave of thrash, along with TESTAMENT, DEATH ANGEL, DESTRUCTION and DARK ANGEL. Over the years, SACRED REICH has produced a catalog of politically charged aggressive music that has stood the test of time.
SACRED REICH's last studio album, "Heal", came out in 1996.
The band's "Live At Wacken" DVD+CD package was released in North America in November 2012 through Metal Blade. The set contained professionally filmed and recorded footage of the group's August 4, 2007 performance at the Wacken Open Air festival in Wacken, Germany in front of 60,000 heavy metal fans.

… by similar logic, I think it is wrong to make inferences such as "the models are consistent with" from testing an ensemble model… too binary… some models will be more consistent, some will be less… observations could fall outside a 2 s.d. spread, and match one model with close to perfection.
Because….I've been dying to go glamping ever since you first told us about it!! It's my dream to get a group of my dear friends in my thyroid cancer support group together…and forget about our surgeries, treatments, meds, etc. and just HAVE FUN!!!!
Superb blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?I'm planning to start my own website soon but I'm a littlelost on everything. Would you advise starting with afree platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There areso many options out there that I'm totally confused .. Any recommendations? Thank you!
story as well, but crack and H. I would smoke until I couldn't smoke anymore, and then do a few spoons, chill for awhile and start over again.A few of those cycles and you find yourself in 4-point restraints in a psych ward.I'm now clean the same amount of time I had been using… Too bad we don't get "do-overs", huh?

LA Times Countdown: Four Days To Go!
Fans wait for "Twilight" stars at Hot Topic on November 14, 2008 Photo courtesy of Wireimage
As many of you read on Friday, my former colleague and pal Steven Zeitchik at the Hollywood Reporter wrote a story about Summit Entertainment ramping up development on the next two films in the "Twilight" franchise:
The company has acquired rights to the next three novels in Stephenie Meyer's blockbuster vampire series and has hired "Twilight" scribe Melissa Rosenberg to pen scripts based on "New Moon" and "Eclipse," the second and third books, respectively.
Rosenberg has said that she would adapt anything Meyer writes and sources tell the Countdown that, in fact, she is already at work condensing "New Moon" into a feature-length script. ( Collapse )
There's a poll that you can vote in asking HOW many times you'll be watching the movie. Go vote! One things for sure, I'm definitely seeing it more than three times. Anyone else as excited?! I can barely contain myself.

I saw Robert in Boston!
So I went to the Hot Topic event in Boston and got to see Rob. I went and waited in line for the ticket to get into the signing around 9pm. What sucks is I was like the 470th person but I didn't get into the signing. People before 250 were guaranteed to get in no matter what but just because I was one of the 500 people didn't mean I could get in because those 250 people bought more than one ticket.
So I was majorly bummed out, but some really nice guy that worked at Hot Topic told me how I could go to the mall at like 10am and start lining up to see Rob answer questions.
I got there around 10:30 and pretty much just sat there all day waiting until 7:30 at night when I would get to see Rob. It was cool because I was only like the fifth row back from him because all the people that went to the signing got there later. So I got nice close up pictures and my mom actually got the whole thing on video for me from another angle.
The only thing that really disappointed me was that I couldn't hear a damn thing he said! I can understand screaming for him in the beginning, but when he starts talking you should shut the hell up and let the guy speak. It drove me insane. I couldn't hear one word he said which sucked. He's even said he hates the screaming on tons of interviews and the Hot Topic employees even told us not to hours before he came on stage. He only stayed about eight minutes tops, but I think he would've stayed a little bit longer if people actually stopped screaming.
But I was very happy I at least got to see him. So as soon as I can I'll post the video and pictures.

SCI FI Weekly interviews Rob & Kristen
Is it true that you and [director] Catherine Hardwicke knew immediately from his audition that Robert was the right guy to play Edward?
Stewart: Not to discredit anyone who came in to read for the part, and I wish I had a more articulate way to put it, but Robert came in and he wasn't just playing the strikingly handsome vampire. Deep down, I could see the pain in him. And he looked at me for real. He wasn't just auditioning. He was present. He was there. We could see each other. That's what needs to be in the movie.
What do you remember of your audition with Kristen Stewart?
Pattinson: I didn't even know I was doing a reading when I went into the audition. So I went in thinking one thing, and then Kristen was already there and she had already done readings with tons of other people. As well as doing this performance, which I really wasn't expecting, she was also a little bit jaded. I think she'd done about 10 readings that day. I was kind of intimidated by what she was doing. I was stunned because it was so different from what I was expecting. And I guess it never really changed the whole way through, which kind of works, just in terms of the story, me having to be the powerful one but being intimidated by her. The relationship built from that. It was always a struggle for me to say things to her in scenes. Everything seemed sort of strained and, weirdly enough, it came out looking right. Almost from day one there was just something which worked, but it was a completely unorthodox way of going at it. We really weren't trying to act like we were really in love with each other right from the beginning. It was more about trying to intimidate each other and showing how much we didn't care about the other person, which I guess worked. In a lot of ways that's how long-lasting relationships work.

King of the Night Interview
We might have first noted Twilight's cinema version of the beloved vampire Edward Cullen when tall, gorgeous Robert Pattinson played doomed Cedric Diggory in the 4th Harry Potter film. Of course, when news leaked that he was chosen by director Catherine Hardwicke and "Twilight" novelist Stephenie Myer to play the perfect Edward, fans, who wanted everyone from "Smallville's" Tom Welling to Johnny Depp for the part, were mostly furious....but the actor is growing on them bigtime! We've met him and can see why.
Let's get to the dish! Perhaps even something you haven't read before. We met Robert, we chatted with him, we learned that, before he was cast as troubled painter Salvador Dali in the indie-film Little Ashes, Rob was disillusioned and ready to give up acting for a possible music career. The actor is also friends with another uber-hunk Prince Caspian's Ben Barnes. We interviewed Ben the day before chatting with Rob and were asked to pass on our greetings and good wishes. We also learned that Ben used to groove to soul music in high school with Rob's older sister. Small world for these two hunks, evidently.
Let's set the "you are there" scene; a room at posh hotel Beverly Wilshire right next to famed Rodeo Drive. The lighting...low. Rob's outfit... casual black, snap-close jacket over white tee and jeans. His famous tousled brown/bronze hair had finally been trimmed, according to Rob, but it was still long enough that we didn't notice. A shadow beard added to that "dangerous" look and you can't miss those huge blue eyes. Rob is comfortable slinking down in his chair as he speaks... now on to the good stuff!
TeenHollywood: I just spoke with Ben Barnes and he says hello.
Rob: Oh cool (he laughs).
TeenHollywood: He said good luck with this media blitz.
Rob: Yeah, he's been doing it for months! Cool.

Heads Up:: Do Not Download!
Hello all! I recently received word from a friend of mine that someone got the entire Twilight movie on tape at a special screening and had posted it to the intarwebs. The last time I heard something like this was a supposed early copy of Breaking Dawn that my cousin downloaded and ended up getting a horrible virus that crashed her computer. Fearful of a repeat, I did some research myself, I found the supposed 'link' and asked my friend to scan it.
Three reasons not to download:
1. IT'S NOT THE MOVIE. I REPEAT, IT'S NOT THE MOVIE.
2. There is a virus attached. The exact make and model, we weren't able to figure out but it had a few similar 'code lines' (computer-geek-speak is not a language I'm at home with) as the Love Bug virus.
3. One of the comments below the link included some helpful warnings that indicated if you go past the virus, spyware, tracking ware and adware that are next to impossible to boot will follow shortly after.
I found this link last night before bed and since checking this morning, it has been taken down along with similar links with similar titles. The website (a low-quality torrent site) does very infrequent checks of it's links but given that the thing had close to 150 downloads when I saw it (!!!!!!), there was probably a large amount of complaints being issued. I'm not a member of many websites for Twilight so if you hear something someplace else about a download of the film, (1) that's illegal and (2) please post up this information. I don't want people to lose computers over RPattz JBF hair.

Funny little interview:
Robert Pattinson Twilight Interview
The heartthrob dishes on his contribution to the soundtrack, his take on the emo thing, and dealing with all those screaming fans.
Question: How do you handle that swing of emotions, from 75,000 signatures to being on the cover of EW?
RP: It's the same thing either way. I prefer sticking with the people who said they hated me. At least you've got to fight for something then. My dad said success and failure were both impostors. That's the best way to go about acting, especially when everything is so extreme. Little girls saying, "I want to have your babies!" And it's "Like, you don't. Seriously." I don't even want to have my babies.

MTV News: Edi Gathegi Interview
In this recent interview, Edi G. talks about his character Laurent and calling Cam the "Lone Ranger".....
SANTA MONICA, California — How did we get this far along in our "Twilight" coverage and somehow not yet feature Edi Gathegi?
After missing the increasingly in-demand actor while on set, we've been trying to line him up for his very own "Twilight" Tuesday for a while. Finally, the same weekend he appeared at the taping for our "MTV Spoilers" special, he came into our studio for his first official interview with us.
The bad news is, it's a Monday (sorry, Edi, we had to save tomorrow for something huge!). The good news is, we're in the middle of 10 Days of "Twilight," so every day is a Tuesday around here at this point.

10 Breakout Stars of 2008!
EW.com has thier 10 breakout stars of 2008, and listed is.....
Cast as Edward Cullen, the gentlemanly vampire of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight, the 22-year-old British actor became instant bedroom-poster material — before he even spoke a word on screen. Previously known for playing earnest Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Pattinson seems unfazed by this new mania, which has involved Twihards lingering around his Los Angeles apartment. ''These little teenage girls will sometimes be camped outside, but it's fine. There's something about people who like this book — they're always extraordinarily polite. If they were old men, I'd probably move.''

Fandango Ticket Codes
For those of you who might be a little broke or want friends to come with you. Here is the trick I used to get 4 tickets to the movie for only $14 (do the math, at tickets that are about $9 a piece, thats a still).
I heard about the Fandango 2 free ticket promotional codes so I looked for some online and couldnt find any for free so I went to ebay and bought some. The codes are good till 2/09 and they are working, I just got my 4 tickets for the Twilight movie(though I'm going to the matinee to avoid the fangirls while they are in school) and thats how I did it. So if anyone is looking to get some cheap tickets and make sure you will have a seat for the showing you want to see, its a two in one deal. No standing in lines and no getting sold out on you. Oh and if you are worrying about scams on there, my codes were good, so if anyone wants to know the seller I used, I'll tell you.
Just thought I would pass that along.... I hope that is ok Mods....

CNN article: 'Bond, fangs, dogs and DiCaprio'
This CNN article focuses mostly on the movies 'Slumdog' and 'Revolutionary Road' but with a few paragraphs on 'Twilight' and quotes from Kirsten Stewart.
A jackpot of a different sort may await the makers of "Twilight," given that Meyer's books have sold millions of copies and have a fan base as dedicated as Harry Potter's. "Twilight's" story concerns Bella Swan, a new student at a high school in Washington state, who falls in love with the mysterious Edward Cullen -- who turns out to be a vampire ...

Summit Entertainment has arranged with the major theater circuits for Thursday midnight or Friday morning shows. As of noon ET today, Twilight has already sold out 389 performances at MovieTickets.com, including more than 140 this past weekend alone. Four days prior to its release, Twilight is already No. 20 on MovieTickets' Top-20 Pre-Sale List of All-Time. The pic has accounted for 85% of tickets sold on the site today. Meanwhile, Warner Bros is using Twilight to debut its new Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince trailer which aired first on the net this weekend. You may recall that Potter vacated the November 21st release date which Twilight grabbed.

Kristen Stewart Twilight Interview
The precocious starlet defends Twilight against its feminist critics and endorses used bookstores and indie rock.
Question: Can you talk about the chemistry between you and Rob?
KS: If Rob didn't get the part, if they didn't think I was right about who we should cast, I couldn't have done the movie. I probably would have done it if he never came in and just made it work with someone else. But he was the only guy who came in feeling like it. He looked terrified, and you could feel pain from him. He wasn't just concerned with standing in a statuesque way and posing. He had the right things going on in his head and at the same time he was very responsive. He didn't have this set thing that he was doing, he could see me.

New Zealand fans!
No idea how many people in New Zealand use this, but if so, who is going to one of the Dec. 10th showings of the movie at Silvia Park?
Curious to see.
I'm going with 3 friends.
IF you have no idea what I'm talking about, you can buy tickets to see Twilight on December 10th in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. Tickets are $20 plus a $1 booking fee, and you get a free gift bag (probably with posters and the like). I believe it's the NZ premiere, by the sound of it. Not sure how many tickets are left though, if any.

In news that will surely make the legions of online Twilight fans go ga-ga, the movie receives its Los Angeles premiere at the Mann Village Theater in Westwood tonight.
Twilight-ers Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Nikki Reed touched down at Los Angeles International Airport yesterday in preparation for the event.
The highly-anticipated vampire flick, based on the book by Stephenie Meyer, opens in theaters nationwide on Friday, November 21. If advance ticket sales are any indication, anyone hoping to attend on opening night would probably do well to start looking for a scalper now.
British-born Pattinson, 22, couldn't seem to contain his gleeful anticipation for the big night. Homegrown Angeleno Stewart, 18, seemed to be taking hair-dressing tips from her always mussy co-star. Hey, she did recently reveal that she found Pattinson to be "perfect."
Judging from fan reaction, she isn't exactly the only one who holds that opinion.
The pictures are from Bauer Griffin Online and they have an anti-hotlink/save lock on their pics. :[ But totally worth seeing.

Fandango Interviews
I was buying my tickets online and I saw these interviews with the cast and Robert Pattinson. I looked through the interview tags, but I haven't seen this posted yet. But maybe you guys have seen it already?
Anyway, in case you haven't. . .
Here's the link to the cast interview. There are several movie clips and this one is labeled "Twilight Cast Interview".
Interviewer: "Stephanie, on her website, is telling people to bring paper bags to the movie."
Robert Pattinson: "Why? To throw up?"
Interviewer: "Nope. The audience might hyperventilate because of the chemistry."
Robert Pattinson: (Laughs)
Here's the link to the Interview with Robert Pattinson. It's transcribed into an article.
Fandango: Fans go crazy about your hair. Do you like it long or are you just dying to cut it?
Pattinson: I haven't changed my hair for, like, years. I've never really had a specific look in mind. It is what it is… [laughs.] I don't really style my hair. It's so funny, a friend of mine from London came over and said, "Why is everyone going on about your hair all the time?" Everyone has hair like that in London. And around the world you see people with hair like that, so I don't see it being different at all. As soon as people started saying "that's his trademark" I thought I should shave my head as his trademark. I'm trying to convince them to shave my head for the second movie.
Fandango: Seriously?
Pattinson: Yeah. [laughs]

The Vampire of the Mall
The Vampire of the Mall, from the New York Times:
By DAVID CARR
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. — There are times when the limitations of the printed word come into focus, like when there is a need to convey how it sounded when Robert Pattinson, who stars as the vampire heartthrob Edward Cullen in the forthcoming movie "Twilight," stepped onto a riser at the King of Prussia Mall outside Philadelphia on Thursday evening in front of more than 1,000 mostly teenage girls.

woah.. now it's sold out 500 shows
There's this new movie coming out this weekend called "Twilight." Maybe you've heard. Apparently, it has something to do with vampires or what have you.
OK, clearly, you've heard, since Fandango.com is reporting that more than 500 of its midnight shows Thursday (technically Friday) across the nation are sold out.
That's crazy, folks. Wait, there's more:
86 percent of Fandango's daily ticket sales Monday (as of 5 p.m. EDT) were for "Twilight." No. 2 on that list? The new James Bond flick "Quantum of Solace" at 5 percent.

Well, that was weird. As far as fame phenomena go, the scene on Queen West last Saturdaywas one that should probably be left to the case-studying of psychologists. It was a day that had the cast of Twilight descending, and thousands, mostly young ladies, forming, and a gale of hoots and tears promptly ensuing.
"You look a little scared," said MuchMusic VJ Sarah Taylor, at one point, to instamega-hunk Robert Pattinson. "Have we scared you?" she followed up, telegraphing nursely concern.

Kristen Stewart tells the Los Angeles Times she had to warm up to Twilight. "I read a synopsis of the story before I read the script or the book — and I hated it. I didn't want to be a part of something that presents this really ideological idea of love to so many young people.
"The synopsis made Bella so weak, as though the only reason she wanted to be with Edward was because he was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen, because he could take care of her, because she didn't have to be brave because he could be brave for her.

Visualize Seattle's global health connections
Posted by Kristi Heim
Seattle's global health experts are busy in laboratories and in the field, working on problems such as HIV/AIDS and malaria. So busy, in fact, that they don't always know about work being done down the street.
Washington's health expertise is spreading around the globe.
A new study being unveiled today attempts to bridge the information gap. It shows the breadth and depth of the state's role in global health, mapping out nearly 500 projects of global health organizations in Washington in 92 countries with 587 unique partners.
The two maps are based on data from nine local organizations and will be expanded in the future to include others.
This map shows where local organizations currently have projects.
This map shows where Seattle organizations have offices and labs.
Produced by the Washington Global Health Alliance, the maps are designed to help local organizations discover potential collaborations and shared facilities, and showcase global health as a powerful and emerging sector in the region.
"Everybody recognizes that to address these issues, the more information the better and the fewer barriers the better," said Lisa Cohen, founding director of the alliance.
Alliance members include Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Institute for Systems Biology, PATH, Public Health - Seattle & King County, Seattle Biomedical Research Institute, Seattle Children's Hospital Global Alliance for the Prevention of Prematurity and Stillbirth, the University of Washington, Washington State University and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The Gates Foundation is not included in the tally because the study focuses on organizations doing work in the field, not those funding them.
Many of the founding members of the alliance have doubled in size over the past five to seven years. Global health organizations expanding in South Lake Union are redefining the area beyond the original life-sciences cluster.
The alliance can help state businesses and non-profits get connected to opportunities in places where global health projects have paved the way, such as China and India, Cohen said.
Through the alliance, local health authorities hope to apply methods used in global health projects to improve health of people here in the Seattle area.
"A lot of people think global health is over there and doesn't have relevance here," Cohen said, but the H1N1 pandemic has made the links clear.
Community health workers, for example, have been vital to programs internationally, bringing medicine and information about prenatal care and disease prevention to people in rural areas. Such a model could work here, especially in South King County, where workers with language and cultural skills could help train diverse populations living below the poverty line who are unfamiliar with the health system, Cohen said.

November 23, 2014 November 23, 2014 | Paul Wake Baker
In Stamford, Connecticut, Kym (Anne Hathaway) is given a weekend pass from her drug rehab center to attend the wedding of her older sister, Rachel (Rosemarie DeWitt) to Sidney (Tunde Adebimpe). She is picked up by her father, Paul (Bill Irwin) and stepmother, Carol (Anna Deavere Smith), so the presence of two inter-racial marriages is brought front and center. As if that wasn't interesting enough, the wedding has a East Indian theme, with a group of fascinating Middle-eastern musicians who provide a kind of world music backdrop to the action and featuring Robyn Hitchcock, singing and performing.
Right from the beginning, Rachel and Kym clash and it is a battle that will carry until nearly the conclusion of the film. Kym is totally self-absorbed and constantly turns what should be a joyous occasion for Rachel into a story about her own problems. Recognizing the Best Man, Kieran (Mather Zickel), from Narcotics Anonymous, she has sex with him and he reveals that she is not to be Maid of Honor. Rachel has asked her best friend, Emma (Anisa George) for that honor and Kym becomes extremely upset, thinking that it should have been her. Exasperated, Rachel asks Emma to step down and let Kym be Maid of Honor.
At the rehearsal dinner, where we finally meet their mother, Abby (Debra Winger), amid a great many toasts, Kym apologizes to Rachel for her screwed up life, but afterwards Rachel viciously attacks her for making the wedding all about her and not about Rachel and Sidney.
The next time Kym goes to her Narcotics Anonymous meeting, she explains how, when she was totally messed up on drugs, she drove off a bridge and killed her little brother, Ethan, who could not get out of his child seat. Once this is revealed, we see the real tragedy emerging: the blame from Rachel and the protectiveness of Paul now make perfect sense. Kym's inability to forgive herself is at the center of the movie. It shouldn't be any surprise that the very best part of the movie is the wedding itself.
First, the good news.
All of the acting is stunningly good, especially the two leads, Anne Hathaway and Rosemarie DeWitt, who deliver such a natural feel to their characters that they are absolutely beyond a doubt believable and empathetic. You really care about them and what happens to them and you root for them to solve their problems and find a way out of their problems. There were times when one or the other of them nearly brought me to tears with their beautiful performances. The supporting cast is also incredible. Bill Irwin and Debra Winger are so honest and believable as the divorced parents of the girls that not once do you question their action. Anna Deavere Smith is also terrific and every supporting character has the solid feel of being a real person.
Filmed in a cinema verité style using hand-held cameras, sparked by extensive improvisation by the actors, the film sparkles as a slice of life movie. This is the way people talk and act, in kind of a haphazard way that just doesn't feel scripted at all. Much of the credit for this success belongs to director Jonathan Demme, who urged the cast to be acting all of the time as a cadre of cameras worked their way around the set and the musicians improvised a soundtrack that was recorded at the same time as the dialogue.
This film was written by Jenny Lumet, daughter of terrific director Sidney Lumet and granddaughter of Lena Horne. A middle school drama teacher, she has attempted several screenplays, but this is her first effort actually produced. Since I haven't seen the screenplay—and since director Jonathan Demme depends a great deal on actor improvisation in this movie—it is impossible for me to judge the quality of the script.
That being said, the film has a few obvious problems and I'm inclined to ascribe them more to Demme's direction and control over the editing than Lumet's screenplay.
At one hour and 53 minutes, this movie is at least 30 minutes too long. Demme filmed long, improvised scenes at the rehearsal dinner, the musical portion of the dinner, and at the wedding itself where he simply fell in love with the ensemble and included much, much more than was needed in the final cut. Everything that takes away from Kym's and Rachels conflict should have been cut down to size. A sampling would have done the job and put us back soundly into the main story. Sometimes what is left on the cutting room floor will determine whether a movie is good or great and I'm inclined to think that is the case here. If it had been tightened up, then perhaps the tragedy and feel-good ending would have come together to make a truly great film, but the slice of life aspect overcomes everything else and makes the film really drag in places.
Anne Hathaway was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in the film and she certainly deserved it. In fact, there could have been multiple acting nominations because all of the actors are just that good. Much of the directing is also excellent and all of the music is amazing. All of the ingredients for a great film are present.
Ultimately, I think someone needed to step forward and say, "This is a about Kym and Rachel and we're going to focus and hone the movie to that purpose." The ending would have been much more poignant if it had been the natural outcome of a drama built steadily in that direction. Perhaps the slice of life aspect of the movie would have suffered some, but I honestly believe that this movie has a great deal more in it and that great deal should have been more tightly focused.

2 thoughts on "Rachel Getting Married"
Pingback: R |


A game jam is an exhausting endeavour at the best of times: coding day and night to try and come up with a prototype for the next blockbuster game—or at the very least—a better game than everyone else in the room. Add a festival launch event for schoolteachers at the start, and an industry Game Republic lecture by Microsoft at the end and you have a game jam sandwich—a rare delicacy which tastes of pizza and smells of Redbull.
The festival launch was for the 2013 Games Britannia videogame education festival taking place at Sheffield Hallam University in June this year. The focus of the festival is about providing hands-on workshops and competitions for schools based around game development. As part of this we run a game design competition for schools, in which pupils redesign classic videogames: last year it was Monty Mole, and this year it's Zool. The 'launch' was all about announcing details of this year's competition, and releasing the completed version of Monty Mole as a published game (now available on the IndieCity game store in aid of the Special Effect charity). How exciting is that? A chance for schoolchildren to get their game design created and published! BBC Look North obviously thought so as they were there to interview the children about their game and they appeared on TV that very evening!
Amongst all this media excitement, our own students had been challenged to make a Windows 8 game in just 24 hours using GameMaker Studio (the same tool used to make the Monty game). Fortunately, we had the support of Lee Stott from Microsoft to help the students to obtain free Windows 8 developer accounts via DreamSpark. He'd also kindly brought along a stack of Windows 8 tablets to test the games on and (most importantly in the eyes of the students) he provided the pizza. He was definitely the most popular man in the room.
Students were put into artist/programmer pairs and told that their game had to be a single touch control and based on the meteorologically appropriate theme of 'ice'. As you can imagine, the next 24-hours involved a predictable number of appearances by snow men, ice skaters, polar bears and penguins, with a space man selling ice-cream on the moon thrown in for good measure.
All of the first year students taking part in the Game Jam had been using Game Maker in one of their modules, but a few of the older students taking part had never used it before. It was a testament to Game Maker's simplicity that they were able to create game prototypes in such a short space of time. It gave the programmers a chance to focus on experimenting with gameplay through simple game mechanics rather than having to worry about the underlying technology for a change.
The students worked incredibly hard day and night to get their prototypes done and everyone was really impressed with their dedication. There were times when you could have heard a pin drop, although that soon changed once the sound effect CDs came out! Twenty four hours may seem like a long time for an event, but it's an incredibly short time in game development terms and the deadline was soon upon us. Each bleary-eyed team queued up to demonstrate their game to the judging panel and awaited their decision.
The three finalists were announced as Snow Fight, Ice Fishing, and Sgt. Rick O'Shot. The worms-like gameplay in Snow Fight hit the judges' nostalgia-spot perfectly and the winding game mechanic of Ice fishing was both impressive and intuitive to play. The bouncing game mechanic of Rick O'Shot was surprisingly simple, but very enjoyable. The final accolade for these three teams was to get to present their game in front of an audience of industry professionals at the evening's Game Republic event. Lee Stott gave a very informative talk on Windows 8 game development to the assembled crowd of local veterans, before the teams got their chance to take to the stage and show off their achievements of the last 24 hours. Finally the suspense was lifted and Sgt. Rick O'Shot was announced as the winner, for its simple, enjoyable gameplay mechanic. The team received a range of Microsoft goodies, plus access to the Steel Minions studio to finish off the development of their game—so watch this space! Everyone then retired to the pub together for some well earned food and drink courtesy of Microsoft and Game Republic.
Many congratulations to all our students who took part for showing the kind of enthusiasm and commitment that is essential to get into the games industry! Hopefully we will be seeing completed versions of many of their games appearing on the Windows 8 store in the near future. Having a published game has great value in the eyes of the games industry, and to be able to do this in your first year at university using Game Maker Studio, is an opportunity that every student should jump at. To encourage this, YoYo Games very kindly provided our students with temporary free Game Maker Studio licences, and Lee has set up both local and national competitions to give them a deadline to work to.
Many thanks to everyone for their support with this enjoyable event and we look forward to seeing the fruits of their labour on the Windows 8 store!

Plant-Based Impossible Whopper Launches In 100 California Burger Kings
The meatless version of the burger chain's sandwich is now available in 100 stores across the San Francisco Bay Area
by Maria Chiorando 10th June 2019 Updated 1st October 2020
Reading Time: 2 minutes The Impossible Whopper is the same build as the store's traditional Whopper (Photo: Burger King)
Burger King's Impossible Whopper is now available in a number of stores in California.
The Impossible Whopper features the same burger build as the store's traditional beef-based option, replacing the patty with Impossible Foods' plant-based patty. It also features tomatoes, lettuce, mayonnaise, pickles, and sliced white onions on sesame seed bun. Mayo can be removed to make the option free of animal ingredients.
The sandwich initially launched in 59 stores around St. Louis in Missouri on April 1. Since then, it has rolled out to eateries in Missouri, Miami, Alabama, and Georgia. Now it is also available in 100 stores across the San Francisco Bay Area.
Impossible Whopper
According to a statement from Burger King, the St Louis trial went exceedingly well. "As a result there are plans to extend testing into additional markets in the very near future," said a representative for the chain.
It seems that the sandwich is currently mainly attracting new customers, with José Cil, the CEO of Burger King parent company Restaurant Brands International, saying: "We aren't seeing guests swap the original Whopper for the Impossible Whopper…it's attracting new guests."
Whopper controversy
Burger King has come under fire in recent days after it was revealed that a store in Brooklyn had delivered beef burgers to customers who had ordered the plant-based version from food delivery service Seamless.
According to Eater, the 736 Broadway Burger King franchise was listing the Impossible Whopper on its menu, on Seamless. The fast-food giant told Eater that 'when a customer orders it, they've been sending a classic beef Whopper in its place, asking the driver to inform people of the swap'.
But drivers failed to tell numerous customers that their sandwich contained animal meat. The mix-up was only revealed when a customer went into the bricks and mortar store and was told that outlet did not yet stock it. "I was incredulous," he told Eater.

Have you ever met someone who does that? Can't wait for you to finish what you are saying, so they finish it for you? Annoying, isn't it?
This week's topic is those little idiosyncrasies (That's a good word; I must look it up.) that some people have with their way of speaking and responding that make you want to smack them in the face.
How often have you met the next one that annoys me? The one that always tries to outdo what has just been said. You know the type; you have just stated what you consider to be an interesting story and their immediate response is, 'That's nothing.' Excuse me, but that was not 'nothing'! That was something which I thought you might have been interested to hear without feeling the need to belittle it in some way!
Another type that winds me up is the speaker who cannot utter a sentence without the addition of unnecessary words at the end. Know what I mean? Just like that. 'By the way' and 'an' that' also fit into that category. It doesn't make you sound clever, by the way. Quite the opposite, an' that. Know what I mean?
There is one way of talking that has annoyed me a lot over the past few weeks, because we have just had a general election and a lot of politicians do it. What, I hear you ask. I despair when I hear educated people (Yes, I am including politicians in that category) on television, who can't speak a few words without inserting the words 'like,' 'sort of,' 'I mean' or 'you know'. It's really, like, annoying. It tends to be, like, rurlly posh folk that do it most. Even Princes Bill and Harry, like, you know, do it. I recall Tony Bear (the famous war criminal) always did it. He couldn't, you know, speak more than a few words without, I mean, you know, inserting unnecessary ones. Maybe it just gave him a few extra milliseconds to, like, you know, make something up rather than dare to admit he didn't know the answer to something. You'll have gathered by now that he is not my favourite war-mongering, multi-millionaire. Not that I have a favourite, you know, war-mongering, multi-millionaire.
However, my most hated way of talking, or rather, way of reacting to someone talking, is just a single word. That word is 'whatever.' It is a most disdainful way of responding to somebody speaking to you. If it was part of a sentence it would be fine – 'Whatever you want is okay by me.' I would have no problem with that. However, it is not said in that way. This single word can convey arrogance and contempt; snobbishness and dislike. It is a word which says, 'I couldn't care less.' Do you know who uses it a lot? Jeremy Klaxon. Enough said.
Time to, like, move on, by the way. Yeah, whatever.
Any birthdays of note this week? Yes indeedy. Henry Fonda 1905 (Inventor of dipping food), Woody Herman 1913 (Medical condition as in - 'He's got a woody herman.' 'He hasn't.' 'He has.' 'Ooh, nasty.') Bernard Braden 1916 (The man who gave Esther her big break), Wilf Mannion 1918 (Footy bloke), Wladziu Valentino Liberace 1919 (Ivory tickler. Yes,we've heard.), Roy Hudd 1936 (Peeping Tom), Billy Cobham 1944 (Land speed record holder [Some mistake, surely. – Ed.]), Nicky Chinn 1945 (Half of Chinnichap), Robert Fripp 1946 (Mr Toyah Wilcox), Jonathan Richman 1951 (Modern lover), Pierce Brosnan 1953 (Medical procedure as in – 'I'll need to pierce your brosnan.' 'Ooh, nasty.'), Debra Winger 1955 (Position in charity shop football team), Hazel O'Connor 1955 (Ex-host of Countdown), Olga Korbut 1955 (Sooty's handler), Glenn Gregory 1958 (No rain nor rivers flow [Ooh, cryptic. – Ed.]), Janet Jackson 1966 (Member of the Jackson Ten) and Gabriela Sabatini 1970 (Tennisy bloke/woman).
That was the incredibly catchy Tiger Feet by Mud. Co-written by Nicky Chinn aand Mike Chapman. In the seventies they had the Midas touch when it came to composing catchy tunes. At the time, their work was dismissed as throwaway nonsense and was never considered as serious songwriting. Lightweight rubbish or not, how many of these do you remember?
That was but a small sample. In all Chinn and Chapman wrote (and often produced) over fifty top ten singles. Not bad going. I wonder if they care that their work was never deemed 'serious'. I suspect not.
Hull came closest to a breakthrough in the first half when Brady slammed one of two free-kicks against the crossbar.
Burnley, who are the Premier League's lowest scorers, had only a saved Ashley Barnes header to point to for their efforts.
The game swung in the visitors' favour after the break and they were indebted to a slice of good fortune.
Hull defender Michael Dawson was off the pitch receiving treatment for a bloody nose when Ben Mee (shape me, any way you want to) crossed into the box. Hull's Ahmed Elmohamady (contender for cracking name of the week) headed clear but the ball struck Robbie Brady and Danny Ings smashed in from 10 yards.
Jelavic clearly hasn't understood the rules of the Hokey Cokey and puts his right leg in instead of his left.
Ayoze Perez scored Newcastle's equalising goal in the 41st minute after Victor Anichebe had headed West Brom in front just past the half hour.
The home side pushed hard for a winner in the second half but lacked any real cutting edge as Tony Pulis' men held on and almost snatched a winner themselves through Chris Brunt's late effort.
Ooh! 'It the bar! Again.
Greg Docherty's first goal for Hamilton ensured Accies took a point against Partick Thistle in the battle for seventh place in the Premiership. The 18-year-old substitute headed in Ali Crawford's deep corner. Stephen O'Donnell had earlier given Thistle the lead by turning in Kallum Higginbotham's cut-back.
County went ahead when Liam Boyce was tripped in the box and Martin Woods scored from the penalty spot.
Stephen Mallan fired Saints level with a deflected shot from distance.
And Mark Brown was sent off for fouling Lewis Morgan before Steven Thompson scored low into the corner.
Ooh! 'It the bar! Yet again.
John Rankin headed the visitors ahead midway through the second half after Robbie Muirhead's effort had struck the bar.
However, Murray Davidson pulled Saints level to earn his side a point.
There you have it. Not one correct prediction. Rubbish, or what? And don't try to claim you nearly got three right, Grambler. You didn't. End of (That's another conversation ender that I hate.). Last week, I suggested that we would be grambling the gee gees this week (They can't touch you for it) and, after that showing, perhaps we should, but there is a very limited card of senior games taking place this Saturday, the 16th of May at 3pm. How many? Ten. One more than last week. Which five has The Grambler randomly selected for us?
Hmm. An odd set of predictions there. Hull and Kilmarnock are both fighting to avoid relegation; it is brave (or foolhardy) of The Grambler to predict that they will both lose. But, that is what grambling is all about – random gambling. And after last week's debacle (Another word to look up. Three in a week!) nothing would surprise me.
1583… I wonder if anything exciting happened in 1583. Yes it did. Dyrehavsbakken opened near Klampenborg in Denmark. Yes… and? The Bakken, as it is known, is the world's oldest operating amusement park. 1583! 432 years ago! That's even older than Blackpool's Pleasure Beach.
And now ladeez and gennulum, it's teaser time! Yay! Last week I asked you which player has scored the most hat-tricks in the English Premiershit since its inception. The answer was that well known Geordie, Alan Shearer with 11 scored between 1993 and 1999.
I think we shall stick to the same topic for this week's teaser. Luis 'Nosher' Suarez was the first man to score three hat tricks against the same team. But what was the unfortunate team? Another question to test them down the pub.


Recently the national press have covered the story of Sylvia Kneller, a pensioner who lost over £200,000 to scam letters over the past 56 years. Friends and family warned her that these were scams, but she didn't want to believe them, ever hopeful that a big windfall would soon be hers.
Cambridgeshire Trading Standards have said they sadly come across local residents who have lost significant amounts of money, for some their life savings, to such scams. These scams are operated by career criminals who use sophisticated tactics to persuade you to part with your money.We hope the article below will help you to avoid many of the most common types of scam.
Commonly these claim you have won a prize and ask for a small payment in advance … and then another, each time requesting a larger sum. No prize is ever forthcoming. We also frequently uncover letters from supposed 'clairvoyants' who claim they can bring you luck or protect you from harm in exchange for payments. These are all scams and once you send money to one, you will be inundated with more.
Beware of callers who claim to be calling about the non payment of telephone bills and threatening to disconnect you unless immediate payment is made. Check the facts and contact your provider on the number provided in your paperwork. Ensure there is a dialling tone before calling them in case the fraudsters have remained on the line ready to pose as your service provider. If there is not a dialling tone, try again in 5 minutes.
You may experience a series of silent calls, followed by a call from a company offering to help prevent silent calls, for a fee. This call is made by the same fraudsters who were making the silent calls.
With regards to house alarms, beware of telesales calls (often followed up by a house call) offering an alarm system at virtually no cost. The catch is the annual service charge which amounts to thousands of pounds.
Beware of any trader who knocks at the door offering to do home improvement or gardening work for you, no matter how friendly they seem or how cheap the job appears. This is the prime way rogue traders find customers.
Be cautious of door-to-door callers who claim to be ex-convicts who are trying to turn their lives around by selling domestic products such as dusters. Their story is untrue and once you buy from them they will call on you again and again.
For further information or to report a scam, visit Action Fraud's website or call 0300 1232040.
If you feel that you are trapped in a cycle of responding to scam letters/calls and are sending frequent payments, we can provide you with support to help you break the cycle. Please contact us via the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline, on 0845 4040506.

Identifying the gender of PCT inventors
Economic Research Working Paper No. 33
This paper analyzes the gender of inventors in international patent applications. We compile a worldwide gender-name dictionary, which includes 6.2 million names for 182 different countries to disambiguate the gender of PCT inventors. Our results suggest that there is a gender imbalance in PCT applications, but the proportion of women inventors is improving over time. We also find that the rates of women participation differ substantially across countries, technological fields and sectors.

The Giornate degli Autori or simply the Giornate, formerly also known in English as Venice Days, is an independent film festival section held in parallel to and in association with the Venice Film Festival. It is modeled on the Directors' Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival. Anac and 100autori are engaged to support and promote the Giornate. It was founded in 2004 by Giorgio Gosetti.

The Giornate' goal, similarly to that of the Directors' Fortnight's, is to balance the star studded main event more sensational approach with drawing attention to high quality authors' cinema, specifically the one that represents innovative, original and independent take on moviemaking. With Villa Degli Autori as its center hub and headquarters during the event the Giornate's ambition is also to create an "informal and free space for authors, producers, distributors and journalists to meet and discuss their ideas".

The program usually includes 11 competition films and the closing-night film which all, in addition to special screenings and additional events, are screened at Venice Film Festival theaters and venues.

The Giornate started in 2004 with zero budget, three months to organize and, as director and founder Giorgio Gosetti put it, one common goal: "to go well beyond the simple showcase of films in the official selection and offer a bright window to the work of directors."

The president of the Giornate is Andrea Purgatori. Honorary President is Roberto Barzanti.
