Atari: Game Over (2014) Urban Myth Deconstructed
Zak Penn, who has written a slew of superhero films and directed two films of his own before this one, was the motivator and creative impetus behind and in front of Atari: Game Over. Penn decides to follow and deconstruct the facts that made up the urban myth of the ET video game killing off not just a major game company but an industry.
For those of a certain age, the name Atari has special meaning. The first company to really break the boundaries of home entertainment and to bring video games into the front rooms of the world. What Penn's documentary does is go back to the story of Atari, the company's meteoric climb and then its sudden end. The film may follow the Alamogordo trail where, in the world of gaming myth, a million ET Atari games are said to be under tons of dirt at the town landfill. The rumor has been that these unsold "unplayable" video game cartridges were buried there way back in 1983 just as the game company was going under.
The journey that Penn takes the viewer on is one of discovery, if the audience is young enough, or a trip down memory lane if the audience are over a certain age. The idea that one single game was so bad that it crushed a company and "destroyed" the video game industry is laughable yet still believable when considering the gaming community and its increased tendency to rip apart games, old ones and new ones appearing on the market.
Atari: Game Over follows the pioneers who developed "coin op" games to be played on the old Zenith or Motorola or (fill in brand name here) televisions in millions of home across the world. It also recounts the birth of game engineer as "rock star." Speaking to the guy who made the ET game in just five weeks Howard Scott Warshaw; who was and is a legend in the industry, the film lets the gamer into the early world of games development and the free wheeling atmosphere that ruled behind those closed creative doors.
Despite the "backstory" where the filmmaker talks to the people who were part of the action "back in the day," like a gaming version of Halt and Catch Fire but without Lee Pace and all the smugness that show suffers from, the film is really about all those millions of Atari ET game cartridges shoved into the ground in the town closest to where the nuclear bomb was first tested.
The filmmakers talk to Joe Lewandowski, who maintained for years that the games were indeed buried there and even worked out their exact location. Cameras were present for the actual "dig" and although the work was disrupted by a sand storm blowing in from White Sands Park the cartridges were found. Ernest Cline, the guy who wrote Ready Player One and Fanboys, participates in the film as well.
*sidenote* Cline stops by Santa Fe and borrows the DeLorean from Back to the Future from Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin…How cool is that? (Sorry, fanboy geeky moment over.)
Not everyone will enjoy this documentary or even understand the necessity of Zak Penn's decision to make it. As one who lived in Alamogordo, from 1980 to 1982 and played on an Atari 2600 for the first time at Holloman, AFB (the USAF base outside the town) during that two years, this film was a delightful surprise.
In the film, the enormous amount of gamers who arrived at the small town to see if there really were millions of ET game cartridges under that landfill looked eerily familiar to the scores of press and public (and vendors) who lined the roads back when the Space Shuttle was diverted to Alamogordo back in 1982. It is amazing that all this occurred back in 2014 and was missed by at least one older gamer who only discovered the documentary recently.
This film is a brilliant look at a part of history that became a part of urban myth. What really destroyed Atari? Perhaps Warshaw's pronouncement of hubris or a glutted market or the winds of change combined to not only bring the company down, but also put the dampers on ET. Regardless of just why the Steven Spielberg endorsed video game became a part of myth and whether or not it had anything to do with the demise of a company and industry, the documentary is entertaining and informative.
Keep an eye out for the Raiders of the Lost Ark reference that Penn sets up toward the end of the film. Atari: Game Over is a 5 star film; a fun eye opening look at the early video games industry and the unmasking of an games urban myth. This Showtime documentary is available on Hulu as part of its new add-on, gamers head on over if you have not already.

HBO Relies on Outdated Parent/Teen Stereotypes for New Commercials (Video)
HBO have released a bunch of commercials that are relying upon an outdated parent/teen stereotype to publicize their new HBO GO service. In the series of advertisements, we see a "typical" American family, either consisting of Mom, Dad, teen son and daughter watching either "uncomfortable" sex filled scenes or non sex scenes where the parents, who obviously do not have a pop cultural bone in their body, interrupt the show on television by guessing the actors incorrectly.

Breaking Bad Best Drama at Emmys?
The 65th 2013 Emmy Awards started yesterday and Emmy excitement will reach fever pitch before Sunday September 22 when the "big" awards will be given out. One of the biggest award categories will be Best Drama Series. In our mind, we believe the favorite to win the Emmy for Best Drama will be AMCs Breaking Bad. But we could be in the minority. So we're having a little poll, emphasis on the little.

Q: Integral of a sequence of functions bounded by a converging sequence of functions also converges Suppose $f_n$ is a sequence of measurable functions such that they converge almost everywhere to a measurable function $f$, and $g_n$ be a sequence of nonnegative integrable functions that converge almost everywhere to an integrable function $g$ and that $|f_n(x)| \leq g_n(x)$ almost everywhere. I'm trying to prove that if $\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} \int g_n d\mu = \int g d\mu$, then $\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} \int f_n d\mu = \int f d\mu$.
I was thinking about using Lebesgue Dominated Convergence but in this case we know that the bounding sequence converges and I'm not sure how to apply it.

A: Hint: Apply Fatou's Lemma to both $(f_{n}+g_{n})$ and $(g_{n}-f_{n})$.

The book opens with the arrival of a "thick envelope" containing news that will disrupt Iris's quiet way of life. Gus de Santos, renowned fashion photographer, Iris's ex-lover and the father of her daughter has died. As if that wasn't unsettling enough, his estate has been left to Lou and Iris must travel to Paris to recover some of his lost photos that are valuable to the overall collection.
So begins our journey to modern day Paris and into Iris's long gone modeling days. Flashbacks slowly reveal what life was really like for Iris and it wasn't all fun and glamour. There were a lot of drugs, pressure, and raunchy men. A former model herself Melian doesn't step too deeply into the industry, instead she stays focused just on the experiences of models. There is also a minor story-line, which I found particularly interesting, about the relevance of fashion magazines in our tech dominated world.
… the traditional fashion-magazine format looks dated. How can you be on the pulse three months ahead anymore? So much can change in that time. What is relevant then is 'over' a month later … in my time, magazines were where we got our information, where we found out about new art shows. new fashion, new restaurants … can you imagine?
I enjoyed the Paris references, which flow nicely as does the writing. There is plenty of modern detail such as text messages, the use of slang, like 'K, and hip teenage girls who are way too cool for fashion. The story itself is without any surprises but it kept my attention till the end.
Like a good Lifetime movie, Wildchilds is an entertaining escape just right for a cold winter night.

A neighbor friend of mine had what we might refer to today as a "hyper-active" child. He was obstinate, defiant, and prone to tossing fits. His worst outbursts usually came at the dinner table – he hated vegetables. Sure, what kid doesn't hate vegetables, but not every kid would take them in hand and throws them. You can discipline a child, but after a few years without any improvements or breakthroughs, you could understand a mother's surrender.
He had one passion, the passion that once-upon-a-time was shared by every small boy in America. He loved the game of baseball. This concept may be foreign to some of you, so let me explain. A generation ago, maybe even two, we were not quite the "enlightened" society we are quickly becoming. There were no support groups and no Doctor Spock's Baby Book to teach parents how to be parents. As a result, most father's failed to recognize the importance of spending quality time with their kids. They spent an average of twenty minutes a week playing with their sons – twenty minutes of baseball. So for many of us who are now entering their mid-thirties, and some raising sons of their own, baseball represented something more than just a game or a competition. It represented, in a very real and quantifiable way, the bond between father and son. In an age where a father and son were not supposed to have emotions, baseball became a comfortable way to say "I love you, son." and "I love you, too, dad." Today, we as a society are better parents and better families – and the willing sacrificial lamb has been our game of baseball.
I remember the day I had dinner with my neighbors and the anticipation for another fist of thrown stringbeans hung in the air like a fog. "Eat your beans," she said. "NO!" And then I saw something that might sound corny and may even sound funny, but represented exactly what Cal Ripken Jr meant to Baltimore, to the game of baseball, and to us, as a people. "Cal Ripken eats his vegetables." Without further protest, that little brat ate them. It was a monumental victory for motherhood that is not likely to appear in any almanac or lexicon.
Cal Ripken eats his vegetables.
1994 was the year we almost lost Major League Baseball. There was a strike that cancelled the season. A cancellation traditionally reserved for moments of great national tragedy from the outbreak of war to the death of a president, there was no World Series. Nike flooded television with commercials featuring a lone fan in a ballpark shouting jeers and critiques at a lonely groundskeeper tending to the empty field. "You call that a sprinkler?! C'mon! My grandmother can mow better than that!" Fade to black with the words: "Play Ball. Please." In the spring of the following year, they did exactly that. The season began and baseball resumed. But they were missing an important key element: the fans. Montreal held a game for a mere 11,000 fans in a stadium that could seat six times that number. Players said if felt like they were playing in a funeral home.
The players were more accurate than they may have realized. Fans were angry and injured by the strike, and were not coming back to the game. They no longer trusted it. A record seven franchises prepared to file for bankruptcy after leveraging huge loans in order to pay their players. Desperate for an answer, it would come in the form of a marginally above average short-stop playing on a team whose fall from grace made the mythical deafeat of the Greek Titans look insignificant.
A man who was undeniably dying right before the eyes of a nation, and he felt lucky. Some things, I will never be able to understand; only admire.
Cal Ripken would take the nation on a roller coaster ride for two thousand six hundred and thirty two games. For over a decade he never took a sick day, and never called out from work – something very few people can claim to have accomplished. He did all of that in the face of a free agent market, by staying with the team he grew up watching from his family home in Aberdeen, Maryland. He had the opportunity to play on any team he wanted during the peak of his career. He could have played for teams where winning the world series was virtually assured on any given day. He could have gone for the big money but instead, he chose to stay close to home and give back to his local community. It was something his father had taught him, and at every opportunity for personal spotlight, he would humbly step aside and give credit to his father, who knew no other way to say "I love you, son." than to play catch with his boys.
After "The Streak" ended, we laid Cal Ripken Sr to rest, and Memorial Stadium, silent for years, was torn down. The last page comes when the Orioles wrap up the regular season in New York, the stage where Lou Gherig made took his own final bow and faded into American History. Cal Ripken never left Baltimore, but will still close his career in New York. But not in The House that Ruth Built, but in a small town whose only true claim to fame is boasting the birthplace of Our National Pasttime. It was here that it all began and like a crusade to a Holy Mecca, fathers and sons assemble every year to watch a few more of their heroes take their place atop Mount Olympus.
I'll meet you in Cooperstown, Dad.
Just as soon as I finish my vegetables.


Team England has enjoyed a successful morning on the second day of the Commonwealth Games in the Gold Coast as they head in to the afternoon looking to add to their flurry of medals that saw them top the medal table yesterday.
In the pool, Adam Peaty was in action for the first time and he cruised through his 100m breast stroke heat in first place and looked in scintillating form, finishing just two seconds outside of his winning time at the Rio Olympics.
England's Lewis White is also looking tremendous in the water this morning, setting a new British record of 56.83 seconds in his heat of the men's S9 100m freestyle, qualifying for the final. The swimmers will be back in action again later this afternoon where as many as eight medals are up for grabs.
The morning also saw a personal best and new British Record for Fraer Morrow in the women's 53kg weightlifting final, who finished in a very impressive fifth place.
There was a comfortable 7-0 win for the England Men's Hockey team against Malaysia. The team were in control throughout the match, easily picking off their opponents after storming in to an early lead.
The Badminton team were also in top form on the court as they thrashed their South African counterparts 5-0 in the mixed team events – and they will face rivals Australia later this afternoon. One of the matches saw left handers Chris Adcock and Ben Lane team up in the men's doubles for the first time and it was a useful experience for the younger Lane.
England's Lewis White is also looking tremendous in the waters this morning. He set a new British record of 56.83 seconds in his heat of the men's S9 100m freestyle to qualify for the final.
Rednall overcame one of the favourites, Jo Edwards of New Zealand with a 21-17 win and was clearly delighted with her performance. She said: "I thought my third bowl had got it to be honest, but the wind played it's part and I was a bit concerned it may have done that on my last bowl too.
Elsewhere in the boxing, England's Galal Yafai won his first bout with a dominant display in the 46-49kg round of 16, as he cruised in to the last eight.

Politics and the Irish Working Class, 1830–1945 / eds. Fintan Lane, Donal Ó Drisceoil
This Fintan Lane and Donal Ó Drisceoil edited work is a welcome addition to the existing historiography. It concerns the Irish working class and politics over the course of a century. As the introduction points out, the attention of historians has not been directed towards Irish labour to the extent seen in other western European countries.
Nationalism and the Irish Party: Provincial Ireland, 1910–1916 / Michael Wheatley
This is an ambitious and original book that brings to light a good deal of new material on nationalist politics in the Irish midlands between 1910 and 1916.
The Eternal Paddy: Irish Identity and the British Press, 1798–1882 / Michael de Nie
How much can old newspapers tell us about what people thought in the past? Did the press reflect shared national perspectives on particular issues, and widely held beliefs and prejudices about other peoples, cultures and countries? How far did it act either to embody or to shape 'public opinion', and thus influence the formation of political positions and government policies?
Irish Migrants in New Zealand, 1840–1937: 'The Desired Haven' / Angela McCarthy
Angela McCarthy has written a useful book about Irish emigration to New Zealand, based upon 253 letters that passed between the two countries over a period just short of a century. This review discusses the author's methodology and findings through the perspective of two analytical tools, Alice's Letters and Shanacoole Exceptionalism.

The BDP-X300 represents the advancement of technology at its best: with this universal disc player, both the image and sound benefit from technologies that were very expensive or not even available a short time ago. The performance of the highly modern video engine for example is astounding, transforming conventional HD content from Blu-ray discs or the integrated video streamer into credible 4K ultra-HD. The Miracast screencast standard in combination with integrated WiFi is always a joy, beaming the screen contents of a tablet to the television at a tap. Those who want to use their player with the stereo system on occasion appreciate the BDP-X300 even more; it features converters of very high quality that are clearly a match for pure CD players in terms of sound. With compatible Pioneer receivers, the BDP-X300 with PQLS has even more up its sleeve, benefiting from exclusive sound transmission via the HDMI cable. On principle this transfer is prone to jitter, meaning fluctuations in the data rate that can result in distortion after conversion. With the BDP-X 300, Pioneer solves this problem at its root: when the player works with a PQLS-compatible receiver, it handles clocking of the audio data which practically eliminates jitter and results in more focused, clearer sound.
Via the "quick view with sound" and "slow view with sound" functions, Blu-ray discs and DVD films can be played faster (at 1.5 times the speed) or slower (at 0.8 times the speed) without changing the tone pitch or the sound characteristics.
HD audio formats are internally decoded for a supreme viewing experience.


As we all know, Hero Forge has not been done in quite some time. I would like to see one soon, perhaps after the Raid Event or after the new year. The hero forge event let people truely contribute to the heroes abd abillities that coyld be recieved.
-Revamped 3* Mythic Hero Forge where everyone participating creates a 3* mythic of their liking.
-Raid Hero Mythic Hero Forge where everyone participating creats a Mythic hero that will recieve the 2x buff in raids. (Co-ordinates with the releasing of lunar raid).
-Rather than just the runners up, the top 20 picks should recieve diamonds. (Rewards would scale as of the ones for arena top 20 - Top 5 recieve their custom hero and enough slimes for full evo).
-Weekly or Monthly runnings of Hero Forge.
-I, ReapersEdge, was checking out the facebook page (Clearly abandoned) an saw the hero forge posts. I figured that a nice way to pull in some new and old heroes would be to do a fully revamped Hero Forge event. I say Revamped because with the great help of KHG, HonorBound recieved new, 3* Mythic heroes.
-KHG has been doing great on the new content and heroes, and one might ask, "Why are the new heroes so bad?" One thing is, alot of the big $$$ spenders have slowly bought less items, or so they claim. My goal is to give KHG a chance to release a new hero, Player made, that many people will like.
-My intentions for this post is to get some of the old players back into the game, any maybe some new ones to get into the game.
Yes! The Hero Forge must return, so we can get more out of the game. Rather than: event, pvp, event, pvp, raid, etc.
maybe we could do a small Hero Forge and a larger one?
The smaller one would be monthly and with small rewards (essence, 3%, 5% or 10%) and the Hero that won, plus the slime to max evolve said hero.
But the larger one would be quarterly and have more rewards (like essence, 10-25%, diamonds 250-5,000) and maybe an extra slime over the amount required to max evolve, of the same affinity?

My Own Assessment During Phase 0

				Gregorc's Mind Styles Model makes a suprisingly good sense to me because what I stuggled most during
				phase 0 were blogging and pairing.

				Aside from the fact that I don't really like wrting, I'm just not good at sharing my thoughts with others.
				It's not that I don't care about the subject but I am very shy when it comes to exposing my feelings and thoughts
				I think because I'm afraid of rejection. And also I just don't think that people care so much to hear ehat I have to say and
				I don't want to bore them.

				Pairing was a little hard for me for the similar reason. Even though I had a great time paring every one of my partners but
				I can tell that I'm not at my most confortable level. What I experinced was, however, that I gradually got used to paring and didn't
				feel unconfortable as much as I used to and I am glad that pairing was one of the requirements because I did learn a lot from others and
				O also got to know my future class mates in advance!

Strategy for Phase 1 and beyond at DBC

				I think that its't the best to have a simple plan so that I won't constantly thinking about what I'm supposed to do during
				school. I just need focus on why I decided to go to DBC. I wanted to learn programming and become a good programmer with people
				who have the same goal. Also, have completely different experience from the past and expose myself to new things. WHen I think about
				all the reasons why I made the choice, it makes me feel better I feel a little unconfortable because at the end, I think to myself, "that's exactly how I should be feeling!".

General anesthesia is defined as a reversible state of unconsciousness produced by anesthetic agents, with the loss of the sensation of pain throughout the body. These anesthetic agents or drugs, possess a fundamental characteristic is its reversibility, ie once these molecules leave the cell, it returns to its normal state initial condition . General anesthesia is accompanied by loss of protective reflexes in the airway, also may be accompanied by loss of the ability to breathe spontaneously, this depends on the level of depth of anesthesia that a sleep dentist in Chicago will give you.
Meanwhile sedation could be defined as a state induced by a drug or drugs, in which the patient variation in their level of consciousness, this variation is: from mild depressed level of consciousness, in which the patient is drowsy but responds to commands, preserving protective reflexes of the airway, to an intense depression of level of consciousness, in which the patient is unresponsive even to painful stimuli. Protective reflexes may be present or not, it depends if it is a mild sedation, also called conscious or whether it is deep sedation. There is virtually no difference between deep sedation and general anesthesia surface.
Globally it can be said that general anesthesia is indicated in infants and young children , is also used in adults who prefer this technique have explained despite the possibility of using regional anesthesia. When the surgical procedure is extensive. In patients with mental or psychomotor developmental delay. When no history of allergic or toxic reactions to local anesthetics or when the patient receives anticoagulants.
Children with medical and dental previous experiences iatrogenizantes and where it is not possible to achieve positive communication and cooperation necessary for treatment.
Patients allergic to local anesthetics: Local anesthetics may cause hypersensitivity reactions in allergic children and adults.
Children and adults with blood dyscrasias: truncal infiltrative anesthesia can cause bleeding in the lateral pharyngeal space, even while the patient is suitable for dyscrasia therapy.
Dental disease in children with psychomotor disorders or genetic disorders, which are associated with dental disease and mental retardation or musculoskeletal disorders that prevent conventional treatment with the patient conscious.
Children with congenital heart disease in which to practice extensive treatment that is involved in the removal of dental septic processes, multiple restorations, or maxillofacial surgery. In children with congenital heart disease the effect of local anesthetics with catecholamines can be harmful.

Last week I talked about the first major revelation for this work: that quality and performance in womenswear, while maintaining style is doable, just not viewed by most in the fashion industry as of value to women. I mentioned that while performance may not have been taken into account by most womenswear companies, quality was largely incorporated into apparel production before the emergence of fast fashion.
So today I talk about the truth that lies behind the dramatic decrease in quality of apparel over the last 10+ years and the increasingly concerning impact on workers and the environment.
If you are 30+, and care about such things as apparel quality, perhaps you remember a time when you bought an article of clothing–nothing fancy– say just a short sleeve top, and that top lasted you 10 years or more. In fact you frequently got rid of it, while it still looked good but was no longer in style. And then in the early 2000s, something changed. Little by little the clothing was poorer and poorer quality, manufacturing and materials. Though prices all around us were rising, clothing prices were dropping, with more and more apparel production being shipped overseas.
I remember at one point I was in a shop in Asheville, North Carolina–standard mid-priced boutique anywhere– and there was not one item that was not synthetic, extremely poor quality fabric, terrible fit and sewing quality, all made overseas. A few years later, I went to the Southpoint Mall in Durham, NC for a work blouse and left empty-handed 4 hours later convinced that the apparel selection could not get any worse for women: poor design, poor materials, poor construction, poor fit. What was going on?
What you may have noticed from the above list is that what is bad for workers is also bad for the environment. An estimated 17 to 20% of industrial water pollution comes from textile dyeing and treatment. An estimated 8,000 synthetic chemicals are used throughout the world to turn raw materials into textiles, many of which will be released into freshwater sources (Environmental Leader). 14 million tons of clothing are thrown out each year (EPA 2013), leaching toxic chemicals into the ground. What's bad for workers, and bad for the environment, is bad for consumers. Yes we may pay thrillingly cheap prices for a whole outfit, yes we can buy more, but we spend more and more time shopping, replacing and putting together outfits that are poorer and poorer quality with toxic materials that probably don't belong next to our skin.
At this point the above information, though sad and shocking, is no longer news to many of us. We hear about the workers and lately the environmental damage and hopefully we do what we can to withhold our support from the companies that are responsible.
However, what we often don't hear about is how our communities in the U.S., where the textile and apparel manufacturing was previously, were impact by the massive loss of jobs that resulted when apparel companies sent their manufacturing to places where there were no safety and environmental regulations. These communities are all around me in the South East in what was the heart of apparel and textile manufacturing in the U.S. Next week we look at the impact of fast fashion on jobs in small town, rural America in the South East.
Thank you for supporting us on our journey to bring to life a dream for a better way forward for women, for workers and for our environment.


Imagine you could see the sunsets occurring around the globe all at once. To achieve this feat you would need to leave Earth, positioning yourself at a far enough distance to see our planet in its entirety, and in a spot where the sun is exactly behind it. You'd have to be in the middle of the shadow that our planet casts into space as our bright star illuminates the other side.
That shadow, a fast-moving cone that's rather narrow and - one might argue - insignificantly small in comparison to the vast expanse of our solar system, is rather tricky to catch but on rare occasions our lunar satellite passes through it. The result - a lunar eclipse - is seen from Earth as a dimming of the usually bright full moon as direct sunlight no longer reaches it. In the rare case of a total lunar eclipse, the entire lunar surface is immersed in the darkness of the Earth's shadow.
Standing on the moon's surface during such a special occasion would reward the viewer with quite a spectacle as our planet's outline appears to glow in a red colour - like a thin ring of fire. This is due to sunlight being refracted by the Earth's atmosphere, causing the sky to appear red - as it does during a sunset. Rather than viewing a sunset from a particular location on Earth, a moon visitor would be able to witness all the Earth's sunsets at the same time.
The only glimpse of this astronomical feast us Earthlings can enjoy is to look at the moon's reflection of the red-coloured sunset light - which causes our lunar companion to turn dark red in colour.
This phenomenon just happened during the early hours of Monday morning. Stargazers on both sides of the Atlantic endured cold temperatures to venture out and take snapshots of the eclipsed moon. Visible from North and South America as well as northern and western parts of Europe, the "blood moon" lunar eclipse of 2019 was a rare cosmic show as a similar event won't happen now until December 2029.
The moon, Earth and sun lined up to create the only total lunar eclipse this year.


If you are convicted of a crime when you are 18 or older, that information will be recorded in a permanent criminal record. If you later apply and receive a pardon or record suspension, your criminal record may be sealed so it cannot be accessed. Your record may also be sealed after a period of time if you are sentenced to an absolute or conditional discharge for an offence.
However, you may find it necessary to unseal your criminal record in order to apply to enter the United States. This eNews explains how to have your record of BC Provincial Court convictions or discharges unsealed in order to make a Waiver Application to enter the US.
This process applies only to adult convictions in the British Columbia Provincial Court.
1.	Appear in person with government-issued photo identification at the Registry (the records office) of the courthouse where your conviction was entered and request copies of your sealed Court documents. Find the location of all Provincial courthouses in BC here.
•	A certified true copy of government-issued ID (such as a current Driver's License or Passport) notarized by a Notary Public or lawyer.
If you have convictions entered at different Court Registries, you will need to submit a separate application to each Court Registry where a conviction was entered.
What if I want someone else to apply for me?
•	you must complete the "Name of Agent for Applicant" field in the "APPLICANT" section of the Application to Unseal Adult Criminal File for Travel form.
All documents must be received by mail (not by email or fax) at the relevant Court Registry.
When an Application is made to the Court Registry, what happens next?
The Court Services Branch Justice of the Peace will look at the application and supporting documents. If they are complete, they will grant the application and Court Registry staff will unseal and mail the records to you or to the agent representing you.
If the application and supporting documents are not complete, or if there is a reason that the application cannot be granted, the application will be denied with reasons given and the application documents returned to you. You may then need to apply again ensuring that all the requirements are met.
How do I access other court records?
See the Court's policy on how to access other Provincial Court of British Columbia records.
How do I get access to files at the Supreme Court of British Columbia?
The Provincial Court is separate from the Supreme Court of British Columbia. If you are seeking access to a BC Supreme Court file, or to unseal your record of sentences in that Court, see the BC Supreme Court's "Court Record Access Policy".
Note: This article reflects a change in the process resulting from an amendment to Notice to the Profession and the Public, NP 14, effective December 1, 2018.

The Chiesa di San Giovanni del Toro (Italian: "Church of St. John of the Bull") is a church in Ravello, southern Italy.

History
Consecrated in the  11th century, the church was restored in 1715 after damage caused by an earthquake, and it was restored again in the 1990s. The church is named for John the Apostle and for "Il Toro", the former name of the old aristocratic quarter in which it was built. It is especially noted for its  pulpit, dating from around the 13th century.

Early 20th-century English writers describe the church as in dilapidated condition, stating it would have gone to ruins had it not been for government intervention in the 1880s. According to these authors, who ostensibly derived their knowledge from "an old history," the consecration took place in 1069, and that the church was built by orders of one of the Dukes of Amalfi.

The pulpit
The pulpit is notable for its mosaics, the decorative patterns of which inspired the interlocking patterns used by M.C. Escher, who spent time in Ravello in the 1920s and studied the church and the pulpit; Ravello was one of his favorite places. One mosaic is of Jonah emerging from the whale. An eagle supports the reading desk, and it holds a book opened to the first sentence of the Gospel of John. The "beautiful" pulpit, which dates from the time of Roger I of Sicily, also contains Oriental pottery ("underglaze-painted and lustre-painted stonepaste bowls, probably Syrian") and Arabic script, and the steps up to it contain well-preserved frescoes with scenes from the life of Christ. There is a side chapel with a stucco figure of Saint Catherine and her wheel.

"A highlight for me is the gypsy jazz "Sharper's Revenge," with guitarist Joscho Stephan. I hear a movie score in there, although that in no way implies this disc doesn't stand on it's own. Try it as the soundtrack to your next commute."


Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4 and line 2 baking sheets with baking paper.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat the egg and stir into the mixture with the peppermint extract, cocoa powder and a tiny pinch of sea salt, mixing until the cocoa is integrated and the batter is smooth and creamy, with the consistency of thick icing.
Add the baking powder and flours, and mix until the batter comes together (don't worry if it's slightly crumbly).
Turn out the dough onto a floured work surface and knead it just once or twice to bring it together.
Split it in half, flatten each piece into 2½cm-thick discs, then wrap them both in clingfilm. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Once cool, unwrap the dough onto a well-floured surface and roll it out very thin (about 2½mm thick).
Using a 6cm round cutter, stamp out the cookies. You can make them bigger or smaller if you like – you'll just need to watch the cooking time.
Place the cookies on the prepared baking trays and use a skewer to pierce little holes at the top for threading the ribbon.
Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, or until firm.
Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
Make the icing by sifting the icing sugar and cocoa into a bowl, then gradually add a few drops of hot water until you have a smooth but thick consistency.
When the cookies have completely cooled, slather them with a little icing and top with the crushed-up candy canes.
Once the icing is set, thread with ribbon and hang from the tree. These will keep for 1 to 2 weeks.

Okay, so I recently started Accutane (40mg a day 135 lbs, 9th pill today) I have mild acne, but it's on the high end of mild. It hasn't went away much with anything else. That's why I'm now on my 5 months of Accutane. I'm already breaking out, I already have extremly dry lips, and dry skin is coming fast! My back hurts like crazy, and I'm always tired! And I was just wondering what I should do and when should I expect this stuff to subside a little... And if my initial break out could be this early I guess?
I think after you breakout, it tends not to come back afterwards.
Basically you breakout at various spots, and then these spots stay mostly clear afterwards because they are purged and the glands don't produce as much sebum anymore.
People usually say they see decent results at the end of the first or second month.

Game of Thrones gets officially denounced by a U.S. senator
By Brad Reed @bwreedbgr
Well, this is certainly a first. Per The Huffington Post, U.S. senator Claire McCaskill (D, Missouri) has officially denounced Game of Thrones for a controversial scene in this past Sunday's episode. Spoilers follow below.
RELATED: This is what the world of Game of Thrones would look like on Google Maps
In Sunday's episode, the truly revolting character Ramsay Bolton was married off to Sansa Stark as part of a deal to help the Bolton family solidify its hold on the North. However, since Ramsay has proven himself again and again to be a sadistic little sociopath, he decided to rape Sansa on their wedding night.
McCaskill sent out a tweet on Tuesday morning informing the world that she was "done" with the show following the "disgusting and unacceptable" rape scene. To my knowledge, McCaskill is the most high-level government official to have ever weighed in on a Game of Thrones episode.
On the one hand, it's not surprising that a lot of people are revolted by the rape scene in Sunday's show — it's disturbing and difficult to sit through. On the other hand, the show has been completely brutal pretty much from the start and has featured not only other instances of rape but also torture, castration and all kinds of horrible violence. In other words, including such a horrible scene is perfectly within the show's character.
The key here is all how these horrible actions are portrayed. If they were in any way glorified or if their victims' suffering was minimized or made light of, then it would be more than fair to condemn the show.
However, in my experience I've always found that the show makes it pretty clear that people such as Joffrey, Ramsay and others are nothing short of total monsters. Ramsay and Joffrey in particular have never been shown to have any kind of redeeming qualities, which explains why the world cheered when Joffrey was poisoned and why the world will likely cheer even more loudly when Ramsay inevitably meets a gruesome ending.
At any rate, I don't blame anyone for not wanting to watch Game of Thrones because it's so violent — the show is certainly not for the weak of heart. On the other hand, I do have to wonder why people who have been watching it from the start decided to stop watching the show because of this one scene.
After all, Theon Greyjoy was systematically tortured, maimed and eventually castrated at Ramsay's hands over the span of several episodes. That's not to minimize the horrible things he did to Sansa, but anyone who's watched Ramsay Bolton throughout the show can't be surprised that he'd do something like this.
