A Look Back: Club Infinite Earths: Part 4 - Starman
Our look back at Mattel's 2012 Club Infinite Earths mail away program continues today with a look at the fourth figure in the series - Starman...
No, not Ted Knight. No, not Jack Knight. No, not even Mikaal Tomas. The Starman included in the 2012 Club Infinite Earths program was Thom Kallor, the Legionnaire turned Justice Society member. He was the final figure revealed early on during Mattel's sign-up campaign, and is a rather interesting and unique piece to say the least. Let's take a look...
Thom Kallor has always been a personal favorite when it comes to heroes who have worn the Starman guise, thanks, once again, to Mr. Geoff Johns and his run on Justice Society of America. He was a rather unique and funny character in the pages of those books, and I must say, I rather enjoyed what Mr. Johns did with him during the run.
Figure-wise, Starman is built on the medium sized body and sports one of the coolest paint jobs we have seen to date on a DC Universe Classics figure. The star field pattern on the body, broken up only by white gloves and boots, really makes him pop in any display. It is crisp and clean, with no paint issues to speak of. Thom also comes with an extra head, at the request of the fans, that sports one of the coolest beards we have ever seen in the DC universe. A beard that in fact is so cool, it would surely make Mr. Chuck Norris green with envy.
Starman comes cast in a translucent black plastic, while his masked head, torso, arms, thighs, and knees are semi-transparent. You can see the effect with your naked eye. As for the figure's glittery star pattern, it is superficial, and not actually mixed in throughout the plastic. Yet, this really doesn't make much of a difference considering the figure does have a hollow torso.
Starman is a very strong representation of his comic counterpart. The unmasked head sculpt has some very nicely painted eyes, a hair style that is spot on from his comic appearance, and, again, one of the manliest beards we have ever seen throughout the history of the DC Universe. Some fans may be a little disappointed that the figure doesn't sport his Legion Flight Ring, however, keep in mind that this figure was meant to be based off his run with the Justice Society of America, a point clearly supported by the bio on the back of the packaging.Yet, I will admit, it would have been nice to see Starman also include an alternate fist with the Legion Flight Ring sculpted on, but what can you do?
All in all, Starman is another really strong addition to Mattel's 2012 subscription service. The translucent body and star field pattern really make him pop in any display and give him a really unique feel amongst the other DCUC figures we've gotten from Mattel over the years. Another solid addition to Club Infinite Earths!
Next up, we'll be taking a look at the second oversized figure from the 2012 subscription service - Rocket Red. Wait, what? Star tuned, DC fans!

Review: Aliens: Colonial Marines (PS3)
In all honestly, I am not a huge fan of the Aliens film series (Predator is a different story entirely), but, if I had to pick the one I liked the best, it would be the 1986 sequel Aliens, directed by James Cameron. I found that classic sequel to easily be leaps and bounds better then the original film, or any of its solo Alien sequels. Cameron delivered a great film, that was engaging, action-packed, and down right terrifying in spots, that has become one of my all-time favorite science fiction films.
Thus, when the announcement was made that a video game sequel was being developed by Gearbox Software and 20th Century Fox, I couldn't help but get a little excited. After all, we are talking about an official sequel to one of the greatest science fiction films in all of modern cinema. It couldn't be anything but good, right?
There have been numerous Aliens video games over the years, for a number of different gaming platforms. Some, like Alien vs. Predator for the 64-bit Atari Jaguar, were downright awesome. Others, however, like Alien 3 for the Nintendo Entertainment System, were nothing but a mixed mash-up of poor graphics, sound and game play that just left you red-faced and frustrated at the world. And, we are sorry to say, Aliens: Colonial Marines falls into the second category.
Now, don't get us wrong, Aliens: Colonial Marines does have some good things going for it, but unless you're a diehard fan of the film franchise, we honestly feel these little things will be lost on you as a whole. And even for fans, this game is seriously a rude awakening. Gearbox has attempted to answer the question of what happened on Hadley's Hope following the events of the film, but with extreme lack of disinterest as there is no story resolution to speak of whatsoever.
Story-wise, the game picks up about 17-weeks after the disastrous events that occurred at LV-426. This time around, a new squad of marines is sent in to explore the abandoned Sulaco and what remains of Hadley's Hope. The iconic environments recreated for the game by Gearbox are commendable, and again, hold a few neat Easter Eggs fans of the film series are sure to love.
Now, keep in mind that this is a first-person shooter, but a dull, below average one we are sad to say. Anyone remember playing those classic Alien vs. Predator games? The ones where you would play as a marine, Xenomorph and Predator? Remember how terrifying it was to play as the marine, having Xeno's drop from the ceiling unexpectedly while room lights flickered and sparks shot out from every direction? It was a great gaming experience for both gamers and fans, right?
Well, Aliens: Colonial Marines has none of that!
Unlike its predecessors, this new game features some of the dumbest creature AI we have ever seen! The aliens are downright stupid, never smart enough to take you down in a pack or by surprise. No, these mindless inconveniences would rather charge at you headlong, right into your bursts of weapon fire. There is never any feeling of being outsmarted by some of the most iconic creatures in all of science fiction. If anything, you seriously feel as though you are playing some coin-operated arcade shooter at your local Cineplex. And, since the game allows the player to carry all his weapons with him, it's not all that challenging of a gaming experience either.
Aside from Xenomorphs, you'll also encounter several Weyland-Yutani soldiers throughout the course of the game's campaign mode. What is sad is that these guys seem to be smarter AI-wise then the protagonists in the games title. At least they tend to try and stay out of harms way by taking cover. Perhaps the game should be renamed to Weyland-Yutani: Colonial Marines Training Ground, or something along those lines, because seriously, these guys are smarter then the swarms of Xenomorphs you'll be taking on. Wrap it all up with a very anti-climactic boss fight and a rather ambiguous cute-scene and, you basically have the games campaign mode in a nutshell.
In all honesty, this latest entry into the Aliens cannon doesn't even really feel like an Aliens game. Everything within has been done to death since 1986 and as such, this game feels more like Duke Nukem Forever, just a rushed pile of trash that will no doubt be seen in the $10 bin at your local Wal-Mart before too long. Gearbox certainly didn't put the same amount of love and attention into Aliens: Colonial Marines as they did with its lucrative Boderlands franchise. There just aren't any new ideas within this game whatsoever.
Then comes multiplayer, which is equally clunky and uninspiring. Yes, there is four-player co-op, and four different online modes to pick from, but again, it just falls short of what you'd expect from a current generation game with the name Aliens in the title. Multiplayer does offer the closest thing to an actual feeling of panic you're going to get throughout the course of the game, but map choices are limited to two, thus it gets really old really fast. Hopefully some future DLC will fix this problem.
Lastly, there are some technical issues that seem to plague the PS3 version. For one thing, the graphics look horribly outdated. There are noticeably lower res textures, bad lighting, objects that pop in and out of nowhere and then vanish and a few other noticeable issues that cause this game to fall short of expectations, especially in this day and age. These problems also plague the 360 version as well, according to some reviewers.
All in all, this game is exhausting. No effort was put into it whatsoever, so what we got was just one big, boring, frustrating mess that is not worthy of the title Aliens. There is a collector's edition of the game that comes with some neat stuff, like a statue, patches, blueprints, maps DLC, but all in all, this just seems like a shoddy attempt to hide the game within.
In the end, this game fails big time. Diehard fans may appreciate a few things, but, as a whole, this poor bug needed some more spit and polish before it was released. Not worthy of the name Aliens...

Water Emergence Predator- The final character in the 9th wave of Predators figures from NECA is the Water Emergence Predator figure. Based on the scene in the classic 1987 film, when the Predator de-cloaks while in the water.The figure is cast in partially translucent plastic and has incredible lightning effect details over his body.

He also sports extendable wrist blades, and a removable backpack...

Sony Reveals Playstation 4 Details
Last night, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. finally introduced the Playstation 4,its next generation gaming console, at PlayStation Meeting 2013. Sporting unprecedented power, deep social capabilities, and instant accessibility, PS4 will allow game creators o unleash their imaginations and deliver new play experiences to gamers that have never before possible. Those attending the event, as well as the countless fans streaming the event online throughout the world were treated to a sneak peek of some of the games that will ultimately define the PS4 experience.
Andrew House, the president and CEO of SCE, officially announced the PS4 last night, presenting the newest Sony gaming console as the best place to play wherever gamers are. "Our vision for the future is consumer-centric, developer-inspired, and characterized by an unwavering commitment to phenomenal play experiences," House remarked. "Today we are revealing the genesis of an expanding 'idea' about the future of play – an idea with enough potential to satisfy the insatiable appetites of our creative community of developers and gamers."
Following this, game designer , and lead system architect for PS4, Mark Cerny then took the stage to discuss PS4 in more detail, including the powerful system components that will give developers the canvas to fully express their creative ideas and deliver more immersive gaming that transcends all of today's gaming expectations.
"We wanted to ensure that nothing would come between the platform and the joy of play," Cerny said. "We also wanted to be sure that the system architecture could fluidly connect the player to a larger world of experiences, and provide easy access to everything PlayStation has to offer – across the console and mobile spaces, and PlayStation Network. And we were able to create, in PS4, a platform by game creators for game creators."
David Perry, CEO of Gaikai Inc., which joined the SCE group last year, announced the ambitions for PlayStation Network and how PS4 will leverage Gaikai's Cloud technology to deliver a new and total change in how consumers discover, access, share and enjoy their games. Whether that comes from connecting to the Playstation Network, more deeply into social networks or broadcasting the game a user is playing in real time or getting help from friends in new ways, the gaming experience on PS4 is now rooted in social interaction. Perry also discussed the company's goal to make free exploration possible for various games, a concept he described as, "Try it for free, share it if you like it, only pay for games you fall in love with."
Andrew House addresses the fans at PlayStation Meeting 2013
PS4 will be able to integrate second screens, including the PS Vita, smartphones and tablets, to wrap gamers in their favorite content wherever they are. Sony Computer Entertainment's long-term goal is to make almost every PS4 title playable on the PS Vita by using Remote Play over Wi-Fi networks. "PS Vita is the ultimate companion device for PS4, enabling gamers to pull their games from their beautiful HDTVs to PS Vita's beautiful 5-inch screen," Perry noted.
"The future of PlayStation is about great games – inspiring, new experiences from the imaginations of the world's best creators," said Michael Denny, SVP, Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios
Denny then went on to introduce the developers behind some of the first-party titles being created exclusively for the new platform, including Guerrilla Games' Hermen Hulst, Sucker Punch Productions' Nate Fox, and Evolution Studios' Matt Southern.
'Next Generation' no longer just means 'more powerful hardware,'" Southern said. "We're a next generation of gamer, we want to play great looking games but in new ways that fit our permanently-connected lives. To us, that means driving in a team. It's such a thrill for a studio to be asked to help define new PlayStation technology, so that we can bring our vision for team based racing to life."
Jonathan Blow then unveiled the first official trailer for The Witness, which will be exclusive to PS4 for console and underscores PlayStation's support of developers interested in pushing the boundaries of play...
David Cage from Quantic Dream explored narrative-driven gaming and how PS4's powerful hardware lets developers forget about technology and focus on creating experiences that trigger emotions. "We can concentrate on what amazing stories we want to tell and what incredible worlds we want to create," Cage said. "We can take you to places you have never seen before and make you feel emotions that you have never felt in real life, without having to wonder if we will have the horsepower to do so. We are now only limited by our imagination."
Alex Evans from Media Molecule then re-imagined the concept of user-generated content and creativity. Armed with a PlayStation Move motion controller, he demonstrated the freedom of expression that PS4 offers to creators, whether they're professional developers or gamers of all levels. Said Evans: "PS4, in our eyes, should be 'the creative console'. It's the place you go to be inspired; It's the place to experience other's dreams, or make your own: it's the place you go, to make. With PS4, with the creative console, we want to change making in every way: from music to gaming to story-telling."
PS4 will have software support from virtually every major developer and publisher across North America, Europe and Japan. At PlayStation Meeting 2013, titles in development and technology demos were presented by partners including Activision Publishing, Inc., Blizzard Entertainment, Inc., Bungie, Inc., CAPCOM, Epic Games, Inc., Havok, SQUARE ENIX Co., Ltd., Ubisoft Entertainment, showcasing how the development community has already embraced PS3's ability to make their imaginations become reality.
Ubisoft Entertainment Co-Founder and CEO Yves Guillemot announced that Watch_Dogs, introduced at E3 2012 to critical acclaim, will launch with PS4. "Today, with PS4, Sony Computer Entertainment is introducing an amazing new platform," Guillemot said. "It will let developers like ours deliver games that surpass anything previously possible on a home console. PS4 will also help us deliver on what we believe to be the future of gaming."
The PS4 DualShock 4 controller
Chris Metzen, Senior Vice President of Story and Franchise Development of Blizzard Entertainment, Inc., unveiled that the award-winning Diablo franchise would make its console debut with PlayStation. Diablo III will be adapted for PS4 with an interface custom-designed to work naturally on controllers.
Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing, Inc., announced full support from its developers for PS4. Hirshberg then introduced Bungie, Inc., which is working on "the next great video game franchise – Destiny."
Harold Ryan, President of Bungie, Inc., announced that Destiny will have exclusive content for PlayStation gamers. Ryan said: "Like PS4, Destiny is an online, connected experience. Like PS4, Destiny lets you access the content you love from multiple devices. And like PS4, Destiny is designed to entertain you for years to come."

Mark Cerny with the DualShock 4 controller
"The arrival of PS4 is a critical initiative that presents an enormous opportunity to dramatically evolve the game play experience into something far grander than ever imagined," Andrew House said, as he concluded the event. "From enhanced social capabilities to intensified power to realizing bigger, better, and more immersive game play, to the evolution of our ecosystem to meet the requirements for a simpler, more adaptive interface, we believe PS4 proves we have more to offer than ever before."
Although it wasn't officially shown off at the event, Sony assured fans that the system would be available for purchase around the Holiday season for 2013...

Review: Batman Earth One
When I was a kid, Frank Miller's Batman: Year One was considered to be the definitive origin story for the Caped Crusader. The story was penned back in 1987 and, even after more then 25 years, Batman: Year One, which was turned into an animated film back in 2011, is still considered one of the best Batman stories ever written. The combination of Miller's amazing story with David Mazzucchelli's dark, gritty art make the story an absolutely perfect blend. It is still widely recommended as a must-read for those looking to break into the Batman mythos and a clear inspiration for Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy - again, after more then 25 years...
It seems as though nothing will ever come close to Miller's tale of a vengeful. tormented Bruce Wayne looking to avenge the death of his murdered parents as the Batman.
Until now...
Batman Earth One was released July 4th 2012. It is part of the widely popular Earth One series of graphic novels, features art by Gary Frank and is penned by the masterful Geoff Johns. Johns, you may recall, put new and amazing spins on such DC characters as Green Lantern, Superman and The Flash. So, it seemed only natural that the man would take a crack at the Dark Knight sooner or later. And he does this in a big way...
The story seems to start out the same way countless Batman stories have over the years, with Batman attempting to take down a fleeing individual. Now, anyone who's ever read anything with Batman in the title can pretty much guess what will happen next. And you'd be wrong. One of the great things about Johns' story is that you just never really seem to know what is going to happen next. Batman makes mistakes and gets hurt. He doesn't react the way you'd expect in certain situations, recalling to mind the tortured Bruce Wayne from Frank Miller's Batman: Year One. James Gordon is corrupt, and it takes a new partner in the form of a re-imagined Harvey Bullock to smarten him up. These factors keeps the reader guessing and makes the story that much more engaging and enjoyable.
Art-wise, Gary Frank has given us a very dreary, grey Gotham City that seems to have a very Tim Burton-esque spin to it. From the hall of armor at Wayne Manor, to the lifeless shell of the Arkham family home, the atmosphere seems to have been conjured up, and heavily influenced by Burton's classic Batman films.
Character-wise, Gary Frank has given fans a pallet of very interesting, intriguing, yet still familiar faces to inhabit the Gotham City of Earth One. Further proof of the Tim Burton feel in this book come from the grotesque appearance of the Penguin, who is currently the mayor of Gotham City in this story. It doesn't take long, thanks to Frank's art and Johns' story, for fans to start picturing the Danny DeVito character from 1992's Batman Returns. Other characters who make up the story include Bruce Wayne, who feels like he could once again be voiced by Ben McKenzie in an animated adaption, Alfred Pennyworth, who has a strong Stephen Lang feel to him in his appearance, speech and actions, James Gordon, a tortured man who just wants to keep his family safe, Harvey Bullock, a sleazeball detective who really reminds me of Troy McClure from The Simpsons, Barbara Gordon, who will no doubt have a larger role to play in the second Earth One novel and the Birthday Boy.
The story flashes back between the past and present, giving reader's a nice look at the relationships that existed prior to, and following the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne. This time, Thomas is running for mayor of Gotham City. He ends up hiring Alfred, an ex-Royal Marine, as head of his security force to keep his family safe following a series of threats, who ends up becoming Bruce's butler following his parents murder.
As the story progresses, we meet the other main characters in the story and see that the main driving force behind Bruce Wayne remains the same - the determination to stop at nothing to ensure his parent's murder is brought to justice. This allows for some further familiar territory for Batman fans, despite the fact that most everything else has a very new and different spin on it.
Without giving too much away, something happens that forces Bruce, under the guise of the Batman, James Gordon and Harvey Bullock to join forces. In the process, Bruce is able to determine who is responsible for the murder of his parents, yet the final confrontation, like the rest of this story, is not what you'd expect, and is sure to leave your jaw hitting the floor.
What I can say about Batman Earth One is that, while it may not be better then Frank Miller's 1987 classic story, it sure is on par. It's action packed and has an amazing, character driven story that easily make this another definitive origin story for the Dark Knight - of Earth One.
With its combination of beautiful art, colorful characters and masterful story-telling, there is no doubt in my mind that, even after 25 years, come what may, Batman Earth One is sure to be considered one of the greatest stories in the Batman mythos and is sure to be one fans recommend for years to come. Again, we here at Infinite Earths don't want to give too much away in regards to the novel's story, all we can say is pick it up and read it.
It really proves how timeless a character like the Batman really is...

Nintendo Calls 2013 The Year of Luigi
Anyone who's familiar with the Super Mario video game franchise, be they newbies enjoying the latest Wii U title, or old school gamers who have fond memories of the classic 2D side-scrollers on the NES & SNES gaming consoles, knows all about little brother Luigi.
It's been a long time coming, but 2013 appears to finally be The Year of Luigi
For years, the tall, green-clad plumber from Brooklyn has tagged along on his brother Mario's countless adventures. For the most part, Luigi has always been in the background, simply a second playable character that always seems to take second place to his more popular brother.
For the most part, poor Luigi has never really been given much exposure.
Yet, Nintendo says that is all about to change in 2013.
During their latest Nintendo Direct video press conference, Nintendo detailed their 2013 plans for Mario's often-forgotten brother.
"Luigi is just the green tip of the iceberg of all the great news we have to share with Nintendo fans this year and beyond," said Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America's president and COO.
And they weren't joking. This year, Luigi is set to be featured in more titles than ever before. First off, he'll star in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon for the 3DS, a sequel to the cult classic Game Cube title Luigi's Mansion.
He's also set to co-star alongside Mario in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, the next installment of the Mario & Luigi role-playing game series first released on the Game Boy Advance.
Luigi will even get his own special downloadable content called New Super Luigi U for New Super Mario Bros. U on the Wii U. This DLC will consist of newly revamped versions of the original game's 80 stages. These new Luigi-focused stages are supposed to "provide a whole new level of game-play challenges."
Luigi is also set to make an appearance in Mario Golf: World Tour, another title slated for release later in the year.
Needless to say, Nintendo hit the nail right on the head when they declared 2013 The Year of Luigi...

Yesterday, we completed the impossible task of compiling a list of Infinite Earths Top 10 Toy Fair 2013 reveals. This was, as previously mentioned, far from an easy task. There are still a few of us who don't 100% agree with ever entry that made it to the list.
However, for the most part, we're all satisfied, and so, we're moving on...
As mentioned yesterday, Toy Fair 2013 was amazing! So much so that we thought it would only be fair to compile a second list from the event. This one contains our Top 10 Honorable Mention Toy Fair reveals for 2013. What follows is a list of equally awesome toys that were so close, but just missed out on hitting the Top 10 list for us here at Infinite Earths.
Again, you may not necessarily agree with every entry that makes up the list, but we hope we came close and that those favorites of yours that didn't make the first list will end up here...
Here. We. Go...
#10 - ED-209 (NECA) - This is one really cool and highly detailed piece! A very nice addition to NECA's Robocop line, the ED-209 is sure to look great in any display. The first piece at the NECA display that really caught my eye, this figure, as with the Iron Man figure that made our Top 10 list, looks to be leaps and bounds ahead of what Hot Toys will be offering. Especially in price. This figure narrowly missed out on making the Top 10 simply because we have some diehard Marvel fans on staff...
"Second Request, Present Hall Pass!"
#9 - Marvel Legends Rocket Raccoon (Hasbro) - Again, we have some diehard Marvel fans here at Infinite Earths, so it is no surprise that a character like Rocket Raccoon would make one of our list. He's a BAF figure for Marvel Legends Wave 2 and comes with a rocket launcher and articulated jaw. This guy didn't make the list due to the fact that it appears he doesn't have much else in the way of articulation. Still, pretty cool looking, for Marvel fans...
Hope I never see Him going through the trash...
#8 - New 52 Black Manta (DC Collectibles) - DC Collectibles had some awesome goodies on display at Toy Fair this year, including a nice slew of New 52 Rogues. One that really captured my attention was the New 52 Black Manta, who'll be available in a special Heroes & Villains set coming out later this year. Manta sports a nice, updated look that holds true to his comic counterpart, has some great paint work and superb attention to detail - all things DC Collectibles is known for. Manta missed the Top 10 list however, thanks to a lack of articulation - something else DC Collectibles is known for. A nice looking figure in every way, but they need to get the figure articulation up to where Mattel's is.
A new Manta for a new age.
#7 - Marvel Legends Black Panther (Hasbro) - This was, by far, the coolest figure shown in Hasbro's Marvel Legends line at the show. Sculpt, articulation and paint are all top notch! Plus, fans have been demanding a new Black Panther figure from the popular line for as long as I can remember. Hasbro answered a lot of fans' prayers this year, and this awesome Black Panther figure is further proof of that. He's part of the Rocket Raccoon wave. Panther missed out on the Top 10 list because everyone, even our Marvel fans, kept recalling to mind that awful animated series that aired on BET...
Marvel Legends Wave 2 Black Panther
#6 - Predator Series 9 Water Emergence Predator (NECA) - Again, NECA pretty much blew the roof off Toy Fair 2013. Everything from their Robocop E|D-209 to awesome Pacific Rim Jaegers were present, and wowed fans big time! The Water Emergence Predator was also present, and will be part of Series 9 in the popular line, which celebrates the 25th anniversary of the original 1987 film. An improved version of the Jungle Hunter Predator from when he de-cloaks while in the water, he is cast in partially translucent plastic and has a neat lighting effect on his body as well. This Predator missed the mark only because the tenth wave of Predator figures was present, and because we've seen this particular Predator a few times already.
NECA's Water Emergence Predator (Series 9)
#5 -Star Wars Saga Legends (Hasbro) - As a kid who grew up during the 1990's, the new Saga Legends figures slated for release this year really took me back to my childhood. Now aimed more for younger fans, the Saga Legends line of figures will only sport 5-points of basic articulation and drop in price to about $6. These figures would've easily made the Top 10 list here at Infinite Earths on nostalgia alone, but they really paled in comparison to the 6" & 3.75" Black Series offerings coming out this year...
Hasbro Takes us back to 1995 with the new Saga Legends
#4 - Generations Trailcutter (Hasbro) - This year will mark the 30th anniversary of the popular Transformers line of figures! And it seems as though Hasbro will be pulling out all the stops during the year, with fan request figures of all shapes and sizes! Trailcutter here will be part of the Generations line in 2013, in Deluxe scale. A fan demand figure for quite some time, fans will finally have the chance to add this fan favorite Autobot (known as Trailbreaker to us G1-ers) to their collections in the coming year! Had it not been for Voyager Class Triple Changers Springer and Blitzwing, Trailcutter would've made our Top 10 list for sure!
Generations Trailcutter
#3 - Batman Unlimited Robin (Mattel) - Mattel had some nice pieces on hand to entice fans of their popular DC Universe line of figures. One of the pieces that really stood out during the panel on Sunday afternoon was a superb Damian Wayne Robin figure that looked like something straight out of the work of Grant Morrison. The sculpting work was superb and the facial expression reminds us all of the smug little brat we've all come to know and love! Whether or not he'll include any accessories remains to be seen and, although this figure looked top-notch, he just couldn't beat out the new Batman Beyond figure with the removable wingpack!
DC Collectibles could learn something from Mattel...
#2 - Pacific Rim Jaegers (NECA) - Pacific Rim is one of the most anticipated films of the 2013 summer season! All the more so now, thanks to the amazing Jaeger figures unveiled at Toy Fair by NECA. Only the first three Jaegers were shown, and while NECA says there will also be Kaiju figures in the line, none were shown at the show. Giant, monster fighting robots should have made our Top 10 list with ease - had it not been for NECA's amazingly retro tenth wave of Predator figures!
Kaiju battling Bots? Yes please!
#1 - Castle Greyskull (Mattel) - As was mentioned yesterday, Mattel seemed to be focusing more on their MOTUC line of figures at Toy Fair then any of the other lines they produce. They had pieces to show their DC Universe fans, but the real showstopper was the awesome Castle Greyskull playset! This thing was massive, highly detailed and full of fun levels to add to the sets play factor. Sure, the door seemed slightly smaller then it should have been, but I have to admit I am jealous that MOTUC fans have something like this to add to their collections. Castle Greyskull was beyond cool, something straight out of my childhood, but it just couldn't hole up to the mighty Titan Class Metroplex figure that hit the #1 spot on our Top 10 list...
By the Power of Greyskull!
Yet, as with Metroplex, pictures don't do this awesome playset total justice. So...check out this great walkthrough video by our friend, and MOTUC fan - Pixel Dan...
So, there you have it, Infinite Earths fans! Our Top 10 Honorable Mention list for Toy Fair 2013! As can be seen, even those figures that made this list are beyond awesome and are sure to look great in any figure display over the coming months!
Only 11 months and 3 weeks more until Toy Fair 2014! We'll see you there...

Visualize what you want. Once you have the goal in mind, reverse engineer it. Think about what it will take to get to every step leading up to that goal.
Once you have that process map, start executing. Plan your tactics, your objectives, your milestones, and your criteria for success.
In his book, "Sovereignty: The Battle for the Hearts and Minds of Men," Ryan discusses the changes he wanted in his life. These things are elements we all want; more free time, more money, fulfillment in what we do for a living, better health, etc. It is easy to dream of the end goal, and perhaps some of us don't reconcile the fact that the attractive things in life are a hard won battle most of the time. This quote reminded me of another book I plan on reading very soon, called "What Got You Here, Won't Get You There." From what I've gathered, it is the perfect book to expand on this quote. My Take: Your next big accomplishment is going to require something from you that you've not explored yet. Landing the job for Director in a fortune 500 company is not as difficult as landing the role for C-Level Executive in another, equally large company. That will require so much more than the efforts it took to become a director. What got you to the position of being a director, won't make it all the way to C-suite. You'll have to do more, prove more, and be more.

Euro 2016 Group C Preview – Ukraine vs Poland
Futbolgrad 0 June 20, 2016 6:01 pm
At first glance there will be very little to play for in tomorrow's Group C match Ukraine vs Poland at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille. After losing the first two matches in the group stage against Germany and Northern Ireland Ukraine was the first country to be eliminated from Euro 2016. Furthermore, it is likely that Poland's four points will be enough to qualify for the next round.
Yet at second glance there is still plenty to play for in the match. Poland for example will want to win the match in order to have a shot to win Group C, which could provide them with an easier opponent in the next round. Ukraine on the other hand will want to exit the tournament on a positive note.
For Ukraine the results have been especially disappointing, as there was hope that the country could qualify for the round of 16 as one of the four best third placed teams. Despite losing the first game against Germany 0:2 there were plenty of positives in the game against the world champion.
In fact between the 30 and 45th minute Ukraine was very much in charge of the game, and Germany were fortunate that Ukraine lacked the necessary offensive punch from their centre striker position to score. Germany then gained complete control over the match in the second half, but Ukraine still had several chances.
Indeed if Ukraine had played the same way against Northern Ireland as they did against Germany, the Zbirna (as the national team is often called) would have easily gained the necessary three points. But Ukraine's offensive was uninspiring and Ukraine's two superstars Yevhen Konoplyanka and Andriy Yarmolenko especially disappointed.
In the centre highly criticized striker Yevhen Seleznyov showed why he failed to set foot in the Russian Football Premier League, as the striker lacks the ability to play at the highest level. The highly talented Viktor Kovalenko also failed to introduce creative elements. Overall one had the feeling that Ukraine's players underestimated the Brits, who played with more passion and deservedly won the match 2:0.
The disappointing performance of the Zbirna has been heavily criticized in Ukraine, and some players have even been branded as traitors—not a huge surprise given the volatile climate in the country. Ukraine's manager Mykaylo Fomenko has taken much of the blame for the performance, and has since announced that he will step down from the position. Furthermore Fomenko told the Ukrainian media "we ask our fans for forgiveness that we didn't make it out of the group."
There are now speculations that his assistant and former Ukraine striker Andriy Shevchenko could now replace Fomenko. But first Ukraine will have to play their last group stage match against Poland, and it is expected that Fomenko will make some drastic changes to the line-up before the final match.
The manager might field players who have not been featured up to this point on Tuesday. In goal Andriy Pyatov could be replaced by Denys Boyko, in defence expect Oleksandr Kucher for either Yevhen Khacheridi or Yaroslav Rakitskiy's position. In midfield the highly talented Oleksandr Zinchenko could replace Viktor Kovalenko, and up front Roman Zozulya is likely to start in place of Seleznyev.
Following the loss against Northern Ireland Pyatov told the media that "he feels sorry that the players, who haven't played yet will be associated with the poor results." Indeed press reports from Ukraine show that the harmony in the squad was anything but good, and that several players were involved in a conflict in the dressing room after the match.
Hence, the players that will start against Poland will want to try and correct the negative results and bad press by showing a strong performance against Poland.

This week's family fun is a guest post from my friend Kaylynn, all about family activities with clouds .
1. Clouds are great for telling stories. Last summer, we were all cloud watchers. We found an airplane-shaped cloud, a dragon eating a mouse, and many other things. As we looked at the clouds our imaginations soared, and we created many stories. As the clouds shifted, our stories developed and changed.
What would it be like if you lived in the clouds? John Burniham wrote a wonderful children's book called, Cloudland. The story begins innocently enough. Albert and his parents are hiking, when Albert falls off a cliff and is caught by the children who live in Cloudland. For a short time, Albert lives in the clouds with the Cloudland children. They sleep in the clouds, race on clouds, swim during rainstorms, and make as much noise during a thunderstorm as they can! Albert even gets to walk across a jet-stream. I love the idea of living in the clouds—and there are so many things you can do at home to bring Cloudland to life.
2. Imagine the sounds inside clouds. Try to recreate a thunderstorm using pots and pans, crumpled paper, or anything else to help you create the sounds of thunderstorm. If you have fun with that, try experimenting with other sound effects. Here's a site that may inspire you to a whole radio drama!
3. In the book, Cloudland, the children climb up a tall cloud and play a cloud jumping games. See what type of clouds you could climb and jump off in your house. Explore different ways to jump to and from clouds. Our family loves a great obstacle course; you could create a course that was cloud -elated. Imagine other kinds of cloud games. How would you recreate a cloud race? Would you use pillow cases to race across a slippery floor? Or add clouds to hotwheels?
4. There are so many ways you can do cloud arts and crafts. After reading Eric Carle's Little Cloud, we tried to make our own clouds. We took a blue plastic table cloth and put shaving cream on top. We made a dragon cloud, but you can make so many other things. Many people experiment with ivory soap and the microwave to make clouds. One bar of soap and 2 minutes in the microwave make a sky full of clouds. You can also make cloud dough with baby oil and flour. My favorite "cloud" craft may be a snowball fight in summer—but why make them balls, make them into clouds instead! If you don't want the messy play, you could try creating cloud towers of cotton balls, pulling out cotton for cloud jet streams, and making all together new clouds and formations.
5. Finally, I wanted to share some of my favorite cloud art. Anish Kapoor's Cloud Gate sculpture is in Millenium Park, Chicago. Dutch artist Berndnaut Smilde creates beautiful indoor clouds. One artist even creates clouds of Legos!
How you would you create clouds out of paint, solids, or different gases. What would your clouds look like, and what would you make your clouds from?
Try making a cloud in a bottle. If you'd like a sneak peek at the results, take a look.

Is there a way to stop the ads in the Android version? I am using a Galaxy S7.
The Notepad++ for Android is an unassociated App that is using Notepad++ good name to get advert revenue.
The Notepad++ team should be worried by this copyright infringement.
Actually it is not just the name, it is using your logo as well. And for a poorly designed to do list sort of notes app.
There is no copyright infringement, since the copyright law is an US law and exists only there. And I would be surprised, if anything of Notepad++ is protected at all. I guess only Don knows this exactly.
As far as I can see, there are at least 5 entries with "Notepad++" inside the name.
The first 4 entries do not seem to have anything to do with the Notepad++ for Windows. Probably the developers just don't know that there is an already established desktop application with the same name. I would just gently ask the developer of the app to change the name of their app.
The last entry is the mentioned app. But as far as I can see, it is neither a clone of Notepad++, nor is it selled. And its description even says: "This is NOT an offcial app by Notepad++ developer. This is app can run notepad++ code editor (PC ver.) in android!". The title is not just "Notepad++" but "Notepad++ Sandbox(Code Editor)" and from the screenshots one can clearly see, that it is not a native app (cursor, design, mention of "Sandbox", etc.). That's not that nice, but I don't think that anyone there really wants to harm the "real" Notepad++ project. Just try to get in contact with them first and clarify things if you think that this is not ok.
Edit: However, using the same logo without any altering at all (e. g. "Sandboxed" under the logo or something like that) is indeed not ok.

Q: How can I optimize this python code for sorting large input? I am trying to solve this problem on HackerRank which requires you to sort a list of integers and find how many times a number was moved in order to place in the correct ascending order (bribes within the context of the problem).
My code passes 8 of the 12 test cases but fails when the input is too large with a timeout error. This seems to be a common indicator on HackerRank that the code is too slow for the problem at hand. So is there a way to optimize this code so that it runs faster on larger data sets?
def minimum_bribes(queue):
"""Returns the minimum number of bribes people in a queue accepted."""

# Variable to keep track of bribes
bribes = 0

# Check if queue is too chaotic
for i in queue:
    index = queue.index(i)
    if i - index > 3:
        return "Too chaotic"

# Use a bubble sort to find number of bribes
for i in range(len(queue) - 1):
    for j in range(len(queue) - 1 - i):
        if queue[j] > queue[j + 1]:
            queue[j], queue[j + 1] = queue[j + 1], queue[j]
            bribes += 1

return bribes

# Number of test cases
t = int(input())
results = []

for _ in range(t):

    # Number of people
    n = int(input())
    # Final State of queue
    q = list(map(int, input().rstrip().split()))

    # Add bribe counts to results array
    results.append(minimum_bribes(q))

# Print results
for result in results:
    print(result)

A: I would recommend using while loop to test the condition, if there was no swap in the previous iteration, there is no need to run a new swap iteration.
def minimumBribes(queue):

     for i in queue:
            index = queue.index(i)
            if (i - index) > 3:
            print("Too chaotic")
            return

    n = len(queue)
    swap =0
    swapped = True
    j =0
    while swapped:
        j+=1
        swapped = False
        for i in range(n-j):

                queue[i], queue[i+1] = queue[i+1], queue[i]
                swap +=1

Hey quilters! I can't believe we're already on Block 4 of the HST Challenge. Here it is!
Ok, so I named this block! I couldn't find its real name (if it has one) anywhere, so I just called it like I saw it - 4 ladies sitting at a table eating scones and drinking tea.
If you know another name for it, let me know! Due to not being able to search for it by name, no Pinterest board this week until all you lovely folks send me your pictures in!
So you'll end up with 4 identical blocks like the above. Remember - you want the 1/4 seam allowance by the triangle on the top and the left (I've circled them in red) - don't trim to the point of the triangle. Your upper right triangles will look bigger, since they have the seam allowance on the right.
Now arrange your 4 blocks into the Tea Party layout. You'll have a pinwheel in the center of a diamond, and a pinwheel-color triangle in each of your 4 corners.
And here're my 4 blocks so far on my "design wall"!
Seriously, if you don't have a design wall, but you do have a 60" x 72" space on your wall, this thing (it's a Fons & Porter felt design wall that just hangs on any wall) is totally worth 15 bucks. I went on Amazon armed with my credit card, ready to spend whatever I had to to be able to "stick" these blocks to the wall, thinking it was going to be a hassle, and then saw this. It hangs from nails. It took less than 1 minute to set up. I'm in love! My blocks have been "stuck" on the design wall since last week, no budging.
Oh - and it has a grid printed on the back that you can see through the front felt so you can hang your blocks straight!
Glenda's version - and her 4 so far!
Anna D's 4 so far!
Terry's all 4 so far!
Command has all kinds of removable hooks (sizes etc) that would work for this. No holes in the wall. I use them for everything that I want to hang. I have a habit of changing my mind. Will have to get one for my wall. Love your emails. Really gets me inspired.
Lois, great idea! The design wall's not too heavy, so that would definitely work!
I just ordered the design wall. Thanks for the idea.
How do you get this new tutorial to print. You usually have a place to download tutorial from but i didn't see it for this one. I haven't joined your challenge afat this time since I've had rotator cuff surgery and two baby quilts i must workwornkbon first!!!
This is my favorite block so far. Can't wait til Saturday and another one.
So many beautiful blocks; fantastic variety of colors. What an inspiration.
Some really gorgeous blocks!! Love how different they look!

Q: Emacs Evil-mode key rebinding How do I rebind
1 as 4 and 4 as 6 without 1 becoming 6?

A: Your question isn't clear at all. What do you want to achieve ?
If you want to insert "4" when you press 1:
(global-set-key (kbd "1") (lambda () (interactive) (insert "4")))
(global-set-key (kbd "4") (lambda () (interactive) (insert "6")))

The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry have revealed that their last conversation with their mother was a brief phone call on the day she died that now weighs "heavily" on William's mind.
In a documentary about Diana, Princess of Wales, William and Harry speak of the remorse they feel at how short their final chat with their mum was, with Harry confessing it is something he will regret "for the rest of my life".
But looking back at the life of the princess, whose death 20 years ago shocked the world, Harry said "to myself and William she was just the best mother ever" who "brought a breath of fresh air to everything she did".
In the programme that chronicles Diana's personal journey, her campaigns and her death, Harry says he has only cried twice for his mother – once at her funeral and during an undisclosed occasion.
William was 15 and Harry just 12 when their mother was killed in a car crash in Paris on 31 August, 1997.
On the day she was killed, William described the "very good time" they were having at Balmoral, the Queen's private Scottish home, where the royal brothers were playing with their cousins.
William, interviewed with his brother at Kensington Place for the ITV documentary, said: "Harry and I were in a desperate rush to say goodbye, you know 'see you later'… if I'd known now obviously what was going to happen I wouldn't have been so blasé about it and everything else.
Asked if he remembers what his mother said he replies "I do" but does not divulge the conversation.
Harry described how it was his turn to chat to Diana after his brother: "It was her speaking from Paris, I can't really necessarily remember what I said but all I do remember is probably regretting for the rest of my life how short the phone call was.
On Diana's birthday – 1 July – William, Kate and Harry, joined by Prince George and Princess Charlotte, attended a service to re-dedicate her grave at Althorp house, where she was buried.

Reading with the Church Fathers
As we saw in the last post, the New Testament authors found Jesus throughout the Old Testament — not by a plain, literal reading of the text but by figurative, metaphorical and allegorical readings. The early Church Fathers followed this same pattern of interpretation. The examples of this are as numerous as the Old Testament Scriptures themselves, over the next few posts, we will focus on a few of them. We will first consider them from a literal or historical reading, then we will look at how the early Fathers understood them through a Christ-centered, gospel-centered reading.
This psalm came up in my devotional reading this morning. By a plain, historical reading, it is about David and his experience of God. But the Church Fathers understood it as about Christ and the gospel. Theodoret of Cyr makes an observation in this psalm that is generally applicable to all the psalms: "Since the Lord says, 'for the Scripture to be fulfilled,' and shows the present psalm applies to him and no one else, I consider it rash and presumptuous to develop another explanation not applicable to him" (Commentary on the Psalms).
Ambrose comments on the superscription as it is found in the Septuagint version of this psalm. "He who had perished in Adam had to be restored in Christ. That is why we have, at the head of the psalm, 'To the end,' because Christ is the end to which all our hope is directed" (Commentary on Twelve Psalms).
Blessed are those who have regard for the weak; the LORD delivers them in times of trouble. (Psalm 41:1)
Gregory of Nyssa says of this: "The Word defines blessedness for us in another way than at the beginning. For in the first psalms, to depart from evil was blessed, but here to know the good more fully is pronounced blessed. Now the nature of the good is the 'only-begotten God,' 'who, though he was rich, for our sake became poor.' The Word here predicts his 'poverty' in the flesh, which is pointed out to us through the Gospel account, pronouncing the one who has recognized that 'poverty' with understanding blessed" (Treatise on the Inscriptions of the Psalms).
I said, "Have mercy on me, LORD; heal me, for I have sinned against you." (Psalm 41:4)
Theodoret of Cyr understands this as Christ identifying with us in our poverty, suffering and sin: "I am the one who is poor, he is saying, who embraced voluntary poverty, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, who makes my own the sufferings of human beings, who though having committed no sin offers the prayer for human nature as nature's firstfruits" (Commentary on the Psalms).
My enemies say of me in malice, "When will he die and his name perish?" (Psalm 41:5)
Here, Augustine says: "He died, but his name did not disappear; far from it. Rather was his name sown like seed. As the grain was dead, the harvest sprang up. No sooner had our Lord Jesus Christ been glorified than people came to believe in him far more strongly and in much greater numbers; and then his members began to hear the same mutterings that their Head had heard" (Expositions of the Psalms).
When one of them comes to see me, he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander; then he goes out and spreads it around. All my enemies whisper together against me; they imagine the worst for me, saying, 'A vile disease has afflicted him; he will never get up from the place where he lies.' Even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread, has turned against me. (Psalm 41:6-9)
Theodoret sees in this the false charges brought against Christ as he stood before Pilate. Ambrose and Augustine see Christ's betrayal by Judas, as do Arnobius the Younger and Diodore of Tarsus.
But may you have mercy on me, LORD; raise me up, that I may repay them. I know that you are pleased with me, for my enemy does not triumph over me. Because of my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever. (Psalm 41:10-12)
Theodoret says: "All this was said on the part of the nature assumed, which was involved also in the passion. Since, then, the assumed nature remained free of all wickedness, it was right for him to say, 'But you supported me for my innocence and confirmed me in your presence forever'" (Commentary on the Psalms).
Second Kings 2:8-14
This passage also came up in my devotional reading this morning. By a literal, historical reading, it is about the prophets Elijah and Elisha.
Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up and struck the water with it. The water divided to the right and the to left, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground. When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, "Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?" "Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit," Elisha replied. "You have asked a difficult thing," Elijah said, "yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours — otherwise, it will not." As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind. Elisha saw this and cried out, "My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!" And Elisha saw him no more. Then he took hold of his garment and tore it in two. (2 Kings 2:9-14)
The simple narrative is that Elijah parts the Jordan River by striking it with his mantle, then they both passed between the waters to the other side. There is a brief conversation about Elisha receiving Elijah's spirit. Then a chariot of fire suddenly appears and Elijah is conveyed to heaven in a whirlwind. Reading through the lens of Christ and the gospel, however, the Fathers see that there is much more at work in this account.
Origen understands the parting of the Jordan and crossing to the other side as baptism, just as Paul, in 1 Corinthians 10:2, understood Moses leading the children of Israel between the waters of the Red Sea as baptism:
We must note in addition that when Elijah was about to be taken up in a whirlwind as into heaven, he took his sheepskin and rolled it up and struck the water, and it was divided on this side and that, and both crossed, that is to say, himself and Elisha. He was better prepared to be taken up after he was baptized in the Jordan, since Paul, as we explained previously, called the more incredible passage through water a baptism. (Commentary on the Gospel of John)
He understands the "spirit" of Elijah in regard to John the Baptist as a precursor of Christ:
And this also we have brought forward, because of John having come before Christ "in the spirit and power of Elijah," in order that the saying "Elijah has already come" may be referred to the spirit of Elijah that was in John; as also the three disciples who had gone up with him understood that he spoke to them about John the Baptist ... And likewise, by Elijah, in this place, I do not understand the soul of that prophet but his spirit and his power; for these it is by which all things shall be restored, so that when they have been restored, and, as a result of that restoration, become capable of receiving the glory of Christ, the Son of God who shall appear in glory may sojourn with them." (Commentary on the Gospel of Matthew)
Bede the Venerable, in his Homilies on the Gospels, understands the whole narrative as a rich typology of the death, resurrection and ascension of Christ, the imparting of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and the institution of the sacraments of the Church. This is a longer passage but provides a very good example of a Christ-centered reading of the Old Testament.
The prophets proclaimed the mystery of the Lord's ascension not only by their words but also by their actions. Both Enoch, the seventh from Adam, who was transported from the world, and Elijah, who was taken up into heaven, gave evidence that the Lord would ascend above all the heavens …
Let your love take note, my brothers, how the symbolic event agrees point by point with its fulfillment. Elijah came to the river Jordan, and having laid aside his cloak, he struck the waters and divided them. The Lord came to the stream of death, in which the human race ordinarily was immersed, and laying aside from himself for a time the clothing of flesh that he had assumed, struck down death by dying and opened up for us the way to life by rising. The change and decline of our mortal life is properly represented by the river Jordan, since the meaning of Jordan in Latin is "their descent," and since as the river flows into the Dead Sea, it loses its praiseworthy waters.
After Jordan was divided, Elijah and Elisha crossed over on dry land; by his rising from the dead the Savior bestowed on his faithful ones the hope of rising too. After they had crossed over the river Jordan, Elijah gave Elisha the option of asking for what he wanted. The Lord too, after the glory of his resurrection had been fulfilled, implanted in his disciples a fuller comprehension of what he had promised previously, that "whatever you ask in my name, I will do."
Elisha asked that the spirit of Elijah might become double in him. The disciples, thoroughly instructed by the Lord, desired to receive the promised gift of the Spirit, which would make them capable of preaching not only to the single nation of Judah, which he himself taught when he was present in the flesh, but to all countries throughout the globe as well. Did he not pledge the double grace of his Spirit when he said, "A person who believes in me will himself also do the works that I do, and he will do even greater ones than these"?
As Elijah and Elisha were conversing together, a chariot with fiery horses suddenly snatched Elijah as if into heaven. By the chariot and fiery horses we are to understand the angelic powers, of whom it is written, "He makes the angels his spirits and his ministers a burning fire" (Elijah, being an ordinary human being, had need of them to be raised up from the earth). The Lord too was suddenly taken up as he was speaking with his apostles and as they were looking on; although he was not assisted by the help of angels, he was served by an angelic band of companions. He was truly assumed into heaven with the angels also bearing witness to it, for they said, "This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven."
When Elijah was raised up to the heavens, he let the cloak with which he had been clothed fall to Elisha. When our Lord ascended into heaven, he left the mysteries of the humanity he had assumed to his disciples, to the entire church in fact, so that it could be sanctified by them and warmed by the power of his love. Elisha took up Elijah's cloak and struck the waters of the river Jordan with it; and when he called on the God of Elijah, were divided, and he crossed over. The apostles and the entire church took up the sacraments of their Redeemer that had been instituted through the apostles, so that, spiritually guided by them and cleansed and consecrated by them, they too learned to overcome death's assaults by calling on the name of God the Father and to cross over to undying life, spurning the obstacles of death.
Though we may not be accustomed to reading the Old Testament in this fashion, the Church Fathers were. But it is important to note that they were not undisciplined or unlimited in their approach. Their understanding of the Old Testament did not venture outside the boundaries of Christ and the gospel. All was understood within that framework.

The map used to track the locations of everyone in the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is now real! Kind of. A team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon created a network of video cameras that track human movement using mathematical models, showing the locations of many people at once. The system can estimate locations even if an individual has slipped out of the camera's view. It was tested in a nursing home to help staff keep track of residents - the researchers intended their project be used for such good applications, not evil. "The goal is not to be Big Brother," one clarified.
Summer doesn't officially begin for another month, but most of our favorite TV shows are ready to go on vacation now. Shows wrapping up their seasons this week include The Following, The Flash, Battle Creek and a few others. Of course, following Mad Men's finale last night is an even bigger, as David Letterman turns out the lights at The Late Show for the last time Wednesday night before Stephen Colbert takes over in September. Bungie is releasing a second Destiny expansion with House of Wolves , adding the Prison of Elders, Trials of Osiris and a few other wrinkles to its online shooter. Look after the break to check out each day's highlights, including trailers and let us know what you think (or what we missed).
You also find very clear points of friction. So, for ex.: Do we have to believe in the historicity of the first eleven chapters of the Book of Genesis? That puts us over and against a dominant intellectual system, that establishes what is called credibility in the secular academy. Those evangelicals that feel intellectually accountable to that are trying to say, "There has to be some other way then of dealing with Genesis 1-11. And that's where you have, now, the ultimate friction point which is coming for instance with the historical Adam, and an historical fall. And now, you're finding people who are trying to say, "Okay, There is no historical claim in Genesis 1-3, but I still believe in an historical Adam, because I'm just gonna pull him out of the air and plop him down. I still believe in a historical Adam, I'm not gonna root it in the historical text, but, I need him because Paul believed in him.
Why? Personally, their self-absorbed drama really annoys me. But I know I'm not the only twenty-something tuning in to keep up with this dysfunctional family. Is it scripted? I couldn't say. But it's entertaining, right? I must admit… the girls are beautiful. And since we're supposedly watching their unscripted, daily lives, it really is kind of interesting. I'm not sure there's any real talent on the show… but millions of people follow along as the seasons continue year after year. The spin-offs (K&K Take New York, Khloé & Lamar, and K&K Take Miami) have been just as successful. It's mind-boggling, really.
Perfect World's Star Trek Online is still going strong, and as a way to help promote the latest expansion for the game, the publisher brought on the cast and crew from the original Deep Space Nine television show to get a glimpse at what the DS9 station looks like in the MMO.

Q: PHP Output Multiple Files In Multiple Directories I have a main directory called PDFS that has 5 sub directories representing years(2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015).  In each "year directory" are 11 pdfs.  I need to access the PDFS directory and get all "year directories", and then get all pdfs in each "year directory" to display on a page.  So for example the pdfs in the 2011 "year directory" will be listed under a 2011 heading.  Same with 2012, 2013 etc.  I've tried many different things.  I can output the "year directories" using scandir().  I can output the files in a single "year directory" using a foreach loop and glob().  I can't for the life of me figure out how to output each "year directory's" files other than doing multiple foreach loops using glob() on each "year directory".  There's gotta be a more dynamic way to set this up.  Any suggestions?  I feel like I would need some kind of foreach inside of a foreach?  Here's what I'm working with:
//set main directory
$dir = 'PDFS';

//gets sub directories of PDFS directory
$directories = scandir($dir);

//removes the first to indexes in the directories array that are just dots
unset($directories[0]);
unset($directories[1]);

//outputs an array of the sub directories from scandir() starting at index 2
print_r($directories);

//initialize $i variable for loop
$i=0;

//if I manually set the $dir variable to "PDFS/2011/*" this will output links
//to each pdf inside the 2011 year directory
    foreach(glob($dir) as $file) {
        $i++;
        echo "$file
";
    }

A: You were on the right track, this piece of code should do the trick:
//set main directory
$mainDir = 'PDFS';

//gets sub directories of PDFS directory
$subDirectories = scandir($mainDir);

//removes the first two indexes in the directories array that are just dots
unset($subDirectories[0]);
unset($subDirectories[1]);

// first loop through all sub directories ...
foreach($subDirectories as $subDirectory) {
    echo '
'.$subDirectory.'
';
    // ... and then loop through all files in each sub directory
    foreach(glob($mainDir.'/'.$subDirectory.'/*') as $file) {
        echo "$file
";
    }
}

I changed some of the var names for better understanding.
A few things:

*

*There is no need for the counting var i as you use a foreach.

*If you set a string together manually, then try to generate it step-by-step and just compare the generated with the manual one until it fits. (You connect two strings with a dot .)

*You can configure the glob function, so that it only finds certain file types (*.pdf).
