Hey guys it's Sam, and welcome to the long-awaited return of Jolly Good Bookie! Now, Diary of a Wimpy Kid could easily be the most popular realistic fiction novel of all time; it has inspired a colossus of merchandise including a 3-part movie series, and it has inspired a countless number of realistic fiction titles in its wake. "Wimpy Kid clones", I like to call them. I've read tons of them: Dork Diaries, Big Nate, Origami Yoda, and pretty much every Andrew Clements book, most notably Lunch Money.
But I guess the story was successful enough that Kowitt made two sequels, turning Loser List into an official series. This is sequel #1, so let's see if Kowitt brought homemade to the table, or just went out and bought some pancake mix?
In a world full of Wimpy Kid doppelgangers, there's Danny Shine. He's returned, he's ready, and he's out for revenge! In Revenge of the Loser, Shine has successfully gotten his name off of the Loser List in the girls' bathroom. But he quickly discovers that the List has become the least of his problems–his radar is focused on Ty Randall, a new kid with two six packs–one of muscle, and one of green tea. He's contributed to more school programs than Danny cares to remember, with the main focus being on helping the environment. So for good measure, Ty's a hippie. He's attracting all of the girls at lunch like a magnet with his handsome looks and his serious tone. Even Danny's secret crush, Asia O'Neill, is falling head over heels. The jealousy just builds up to the point where Danny snaps and concocts a complex plan to do Ty justice, but unfortunately true colors are shown and Danny must desperately repair the damage before it's too late.
Revenge of the Loser definitely has something new to offer, and the story does focus more on itself than some goofy drawings or copying and pasting from Wimpy Kid. The infamous bathroom wall graffiti does return, but that's probably as rogue as ROTL ever gets. Well, Chantal is kind of a gold-hearted jerk who shows her true hero at the end. But besides all of these new concepts, Revenge of the Loser is almost the exact same as its predecessor. At least the plot is structured better.
It somewhat pains me to say it, but I think Danny Shine has finally done Wimpy Kid justice. There, I said it myself. Revenge of the Loser comes packed with humor and heart–albeit derivative humor and heart–and definitely puts its predecessor in the shadows. Now, let's just see if they can keep that up for Jinx of the Loser, or better yet, Take Me To Your Loser, hitting stores this September.
Because I love my fans, I'll make this a Jolly Good Bookie double feature! Carpe diem, baby! Anyway, what if A Series of Unfortunate Events met Mysterious Benedict Society? The result would probably be School of Fear, the young-audience debut of Gitty Daneshvari. The novel takes place at a very shady institution that few people have heard of, called the School of Fear. Run by Mrs. Wellington and her assistant Schmidty, the main goal of the School of Fear is to eradicate children's fears over the course of a summer using "unorthodox" methods. This summer's students are Theo Bartholomew, Madeleine Masterson, Garrison Feldman, and Lulu Punchalower. Theo is terrified of general death, Maddie of bugs (notably spiders), Gary of deep water, and Lulu of confined spaces.
I loved the ominous and gothic feel of the story as it went along, and how it mixed its dark chills and clever thrills with some quality laughs to keep the prose fresh. The story is exciting albeit predictable and tedious, and definitely one I do not regret reading when I find myself awake at 7 in the morning. (No, it's not insomnia.) It showed that a good way–if not the only way–to face your fears is to tackle them head on, and it shows how difficult life can be while crippled by phobias. This is a good book to relate to; all humans really are afraid of something.
However, to me it frankly started to fall apart around and following the shocking climax; I found myself lost in the prose quite frequently on numerous occasions. I also kept asking myself if they were ever going to conquer their fears, but luckily Daneshvari has several aces up her sleeve to shrewdly guide the story. Other than that, School of Fear is a pretty tense and exciting adventure with underachieving predictability and noticeable tedium. I would definitely read the other two sequels in the trilogy–in fact, I have my hands on Class Is NOT Dismissed as I type, and as you read.
Well, that was fun, wasn't it? Be sure to tune in same time next Friday for more awesomeness courtesy of Sammwak!
Videos of the Week: "THE PERFECT BOYFRIEND?" and "HOW TO BE A SALAD!" by PewDiePie. I wonder if he'll become the most-subbed channel on YouTube by the end of the summer. I'M BETTING YOU, FOLKS!
We haven't seen any works of the waistband warrior from Dav Pilkey since The Preposterous Plight of the Purple Potty People six years ago. Yeah, yeah, you might already know how this is going, and you might ask "Sam, didn't we already go over this?" And we may have already talked about this topic back on 2Sam2Mwak. The most recent excuse Dav put out there was that he was caring for his terminally ill grandpa. Well, although his grandpa is gleefully watching this post from *sniffle* that big bookstore in the sky :(, he is already halfway through his four-book Scholastic contract. And this is the penultimate book on the contract, something he bargained for–but we didn't.
Apparently, Captain Underpants and the Terrifying Re-Turn of Tippy Tinkletrousers came out two months ago while summer was just starting to decay. While I expected it to be a bit more upcoming, I'll just tell you now. Anyway, the premise of the story–if you didn't already know–picks up where Preposterous Plight left off. The last time we saw George & Harold, they were being arrested and headed for the slammer. Then Harold spoke thirteen fateful words: '"What could be worse than going to jail for the rest of our lives?", changing the course of time itself forever. Now, Captain Underpants 9 is the most innovative entry yet for various reasons–one of them being that part of the book serves as a prequel that takes us back to the "good ole kindergarten days"! Now, they're not fighting aliens or scientists. Now, an afro-sporting George and a not-so-badly-haircut Harold are using brainpower to fight against Principal Krupp's equally nasty nephew Kipper.
Now, let's go to the (hopefully) real plot: Professor Poopypants (the main villain of the fourth book) had showed up after four books in some sort of limbo. He had taken it in after the defeat of his debut appearance to change his name–but that only made him a laughingstock of a jailbird. But now, he's back for–most likely–revenge, and he's got plenty of technological advantages up his sleeve. (One contraption from the last book left anyone who dared to laugh at his new name frozen solid. 8-o) Now, Captain's had plenty of hard hits (including wedgies) in his past, but the return of an old villain? Totally new. Will this competition leave this scantily-clad superhero's underwear in a bunch? Or will Tippy be forced to "poopy his pants" once more?
Now, since the book's already out, it's gotten pretty good feedback. Out of the 9 reviews I saw on Amazon, most people enjoyed the book for its returning laughs and unparalleled entertainment, but some people were more critical over elements like its ending. One specific review from Louisville, Kentucky gave it its only 2-star rating–due to it not actually having any underpants or Klingon in it. And let me inform you that the person that sent this review is a mother. A mother that needs to catch up on her Dav Pilkey.
Couldn't have said those very words better myself. Anyway, you can check out Captain Underpants 9 when it hits bookstores on–oh yeah, it's out right now. And a small little chunk of my mind is telling me you shouldn't miss out on the opportunity. And if you don't want to, you've already got plenty of dollars to save up for when the tenth installment (The Revolting Revenge of the Radioactive Robo-Boxers) comes out next January.
And in case you're wondering, yes, Professor Poo–sorry, Tippy Tinkletrousers will be returning for this installment too! Even Sulu and Crackers will be coming back! Again! In this boo–er, first, try to imagine a world without underpants. Not only Captain, but likely undergarments in general. You'd be a dead duck if you got pantsed, and if you didn't wipe good enough it would go straight to your pants. Anyway, this might be the future of Cap, as–er–something horrible happened to George & Harold. And why couldn't C.U. pipe up and save them? Since Tippy and his tech-savvy hijinks had prevented the two from creating the waistband warrior to begin with! Now, having broken the yo-yo of time, George & Harold must figure out how to change changed time. It sounds ridick, but it has to happen–or else over a decade of gutbusting adventures will all be for naught. And I already saw a different version of the world as we know it in Preposterous Plight. Will the grandfather clock ever strike twelve? Find out when Revolting Revenge hits stores next year.
p.s. Speaking of future dates, Dav's official website @ http://www.pilkey.com, is currently on hold due to all this Tippy Tinkletrousers madness. He stated that it would be up and running in "a few weeks"–but that's what it says every time you visit the site.
Videos of the Week: If you tuned into my second chopped, screwed, squeezed, and crunched pack of news concerning Adventure Time's status in the DVD world, you might have checked out my Video of the Week. It was the first entry in Swoozie's Cheating series, "Cheating in Middle School". And if you laughed just as much as I expected you to, ya might wanna consider this 3.4 million-time viewed sequel.
And if you thought those were hilarious, there are actually nine more of them left to see! 😀 Next time these guys appear, we'll see their reaction to the 8-bit cutie Nyan Cat, the Harry Potter 7 Part 2 trailer, and more! And if you like these videos, subscribe to the Fine Bros to see new videos first and like this post, please! I guess that is all for today! Goodbye from Sammwak (check back Friday for a new treasure, mateys!), and remember: Stay in school, don't do drugs, share a cherry with a chipmunk, give a monkey a shower, and butter an ant.
p.s. Hey, you thought this post was over? HA! You're wrong, bub! >:) No one's going anywhere until you see the latest video released today!
HE CAN WALL CLIMB! – Yeah, I said the ninja can WALL CLIMB. All you have to do is jump onto a wall, and he instantly clings on. I gotta say, that's pretty handy for those situations where you're climbing up a 12-story building, you know what I'm saying?
SHURIKEN POWER! – You can throw shurikens after you receive a mushroom of firepower. They're like boomerangs; they come back to you after you throw them. And I got 2 say, EPIC.
There's no real difference, except when you select Mario, he jumps and hits a ? block rather than jumping in the air oh so randomly.
Thx for reading please like and subscribe.


Quite fun, very well done!
One small gripe is when the ball keeps moving when you are trying to place the blocks.
Good game :) I didn't like that the ball moved as you placed blocks, perhaps right click could be used for placing blocks so it doesn't affect the ball? Otherwise, cool game and fun to play.
Good game. The controls were awkward. The ball moved while trying to place blocks. Perhaps W-A-D or Arrow keys to move the ball would have been a bit more natural.
Controls made me want to kill innocent children and boil their eyeballs.
Nice mechanic and I like that you gave a tutorial. Also one of the few submissions with a sense of humor. A bit of the finesse of getting around was lost on me with my trackpad, I think having a separate jump button would've actually improved things. Overall, a promising physics puzzler though - I had fun working through it!
I agree with the problem of the controls. Also it's frustrating to reset to level when you misplace a green block.
Very solid game. Good work.
Cool concept. Reminds me a little bit of my entry :) Only quirk is the controls and when placing objects it makes the avatar move at the same time resulting in it falling off ledges unexpectedly.
Took a really long time to download.
Forgot to say I'm using Arch Linux 64 bit, and there is no 32 bit libgconf available in the repos.

China accomplishes 5-year emissions reduction target - NDRC
Shanghai. December 1. INTERFAX-CHINA - A senior official from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) announced on Nov. 30 that China has accomplished its emissions reduction target for the 2006-2010 period one month ahead of schedule.
Interfax was unable to independently confirm the NDRC claim.
Xie Zhenhua, vice director of the NDRC, said at an industry workshop in Beijing that the goal of reducing emissions by 20 percent from 2005 levels was realized by phasing out obsolete production capacity in energy intensive industries such as iron, steel, construction materials, coal and coke.
The 11th Five-Year Plan called for China's energy consumption per RMB 10,000 ($1,504) of GDP to drop from 1.22 tons of standard coal in 2005 to under one ton by the end of this year.
Between 2005 and 2009, China's economy grew by an average of 11.4 percent while its energy consumption grew by just 6.8 percent annually, Xie said. Over the period, China reduced its coal consumption by 490 million tons and cut carbon dioxide emissions by 1.13 billion tons, Xie added.
The country plans to continue cutting its energy intensity and carbon emissions as part of the 12th Five-Year Plan, which is currently being drafted.

It's hardly surprising that the talented and friendly Karrie Fransman was hand-picked by the Valletta 2018 Foundation to head workshops in audio visual storytelling in Gozo last month. With an eclectic portfolio and an easygoing manner (the former is made evident through a quick Google search, the latter thanks to our brief chat on Skype), it's not hard to imagine her bringing her knowledge across to educators and producers with no trouble.
Which is good, because communication is arguably what's at the forefront of what we can somewhat stuffily call 'sequential art' – that category encompassing comic strips, comic books and 'graphic novels'. It's more elaborate than road signs but more in-yer-face than prose, and such a hybrid format is probably well suited to meet the demands of ever-shifting audio-visual trends.
With experience in editorial illustration for some of Britain's most respected publications – among them The Guardian and The New Statesman and her own standalone graphic novels such as The House That Groaned and Death of the Artist – to say nothing of her forays into digital comics, "sculpture comics" and "comics in dollhouses" – Fransman gives the impression that she's pretty much done it all, and I ask about how her varied experience helps her to communicate the potential of the medium to others.
For this reason – and when compared to film – Fransman believes that comics encourage a kind of flexibility that you won't find in more established visual mediums, such as film.
And according to Fransman, this is a good reason for educators to opt for the comics medium to get their messages across, while the benefits for other creative professionals should be obvious, in that such a well-established but still 'loose' medium can help them shake up their approach to any project they happen to be working on.
Fransman's various international engagements have proven the reality behind this claim, and she confesses to being fortunate in this regard. When I caught up with her after the workshops in Gozo were through, I got the impression that she'd be happy to slot our islands in the category of places she's glad to have made a real connection with.
"It was great to meet the teachers, most who were from Gozo, and it was also good to hear about the challenges they face in bringing creativity to the classroom and to have the chance to share some solutions.
"Then we had a day-long workshop with the producers which was so enjoyable. They were a bunch of incredibly creative minds and it was a pleasure to see how inventive they were with their games and storytelling. It was also great for me to hear about the workshops they were running for Valetta 2018- mysterious boxes and creating civilisations. I wish I could attend them all!
Karrie Fransman's comic strips and graphic stories have been published in The Guardian, The Times, Time Out, The Telegraph, The New Statesman, The Young Vic, Psychologies Magazine, The Arts Council Create Magazine and for The British Red Cross. Her graphic novel, The House That Groaned, was published by Penguin Random House's Square Peg. It received praise from film director Nicolas Roeg and was chosen as Graphic Novel of the Month in The Observer. She developed an award winning comic, 'Over, Under, Sideways, Down' about an Iranian teenage refugee, for The British Red Cross, created an installation for the British Council and Southbank Centre and was commissioned to make a 'Selves Portrait' for an exhibition with Manchester Art Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery. Her new graphic novel 'Death of the Artist' was published by Jonathan Cape in 2015 and was awarded a grant from the Arts Council England.

Thousands march across BK Bridge to mark 5 years since Sandy
Saturday, October 28, 2017 7:02 PM EDT
Thousands of people marched across the Brooklyn Bridge Saturday to commemorate the fifth anniversary of Superstorm Sandy.
The devastating storm struck the region on Oct. 29, 2012. Marchers on Saturday honored those who lost everything, like Annie Willis, whose family home in the Rockaways was destroyed.
"We lost everything, from clothes, photos, everything -- and the hardest challenge after Sandy was battling mentally. I still have flashbacks," she says.
Five years later, Willis says she's one of many New Yorkers still waiting for their homes to be repaired. It's something that community organizations want to see officials address.
Participants marched to Manhattan's lower east side, calling on elected leaders to protect communities that are vulnerable to flooding.
Many groups that took part in the event are also seeking investment in renewable energy sources, actions that they say could help stem the tide of a changing climate.

Nanxi Mountain Scenic Area Guilin
Guilin Nanxi Mountain Scenic Area (that is, Guilin Nanxi Mountain Park) is located in the south of Guilin City, about 1 kilometer north of the railway station. The two peaks of Nanxi Mountain confront each other. They are steep and steep. They are like two white screens. They have been called "Nanxi Jade Screen" since ancient times. Nanxi River flows through the scenic area from the north of the mountain. The earliest exploiter of Nanxi Mountain was the Tang Dynasty treasure calendar year. Li Bo was made by Guizhou Prickling History and Imperial History and Guiguan Observation. He loved the green water forest of the mountain. Today, there are still stone carvings in the cave of his poem "Liubei Nanxi". There are many caves in the park, such as Bailong Cave, Liu Xianyan, Guanyin Rock, Sizhou Rock and so on. There is a Longji Pavilion between the two peaks, which is a good place for climbing and viewing the north and South scenery of the city. On the Nanxi River, Bailong Bridge was built on the site of the former General Bridge. Bailong Spring is one of the famous springs in Guilin. One of the eight ancient scenic spots in Guilin is "Nanxi New Dao", which is called "Nanxi Yatao" with unique scenery in Guilin.
Nanxi Mountain Park in Guilin - In 2010, it was rated as national 4A scenic spot and named Nanxi Mountain scenic spot in Guilin. From Zhongshan Avenue to Nanxi Mountain, not far from the South Railway Station. It is located on the east side of the General Bridge in southern Guilin District. The mountain is 140 meters high, 350 meters long and 180 meters wide. It towers towering peaks and rivers, with beautiful scenery, so it is called "Yuping of Nanxi".
"Towering Nanxi Mountains, in what year a fairyland was created. Longyan pregnant Yuquan, Biyang Qingxi shadow. Aromatic algae shine into the quiet pheasant mountain. The rainbow tries new tea, and tourists scramble for it." Zhu Shude, a famous painter and poet in Guilin in the Qing Dynasty, vividly depicted the magical artistic conception of Nanxi Mountain.
It can be seen that the natural landscape of Nanxi Mountain, ancient and modern people yearn for, many celebrities and scholars sigh at it. There are Bailong Cave, Longji Cave, Yuanyan Cave, Guanyin Rock, Sizhou Rock and Chuanyun Rock in the mountains. It is the first famous historic site and scenic spot in the south of the city with a total area of 20 hectares. The landmark of the Gate monument is listed as the key national scenic spot of Lijiang River in Guilin. The new Sankai archway built in the park in 1974 is facing the street with gray glazed eaves and antique fragrance.
。 The plaque "Nanxi Mountain" with three big characters glittering golden, dignified and chic, close to the south side of the gate, constructed with modern building materials, antique long row of Qionglou buildings, green tiles and white walls, simple and elegant, is in harmony with Nanxi landscape, and has become the most beautiful scenery to attract tourists. Initially, the sculpture was inscribed immediately by Wang Zhenggong of the Song Dynasty on the stone tablet "Guilin Landscape is the best under heaven". The Park covers an area of 18 hectares with green grass and flower ponds. Evergreen bamboo forests, vigorous autumn maple, pavilions of palms, luxuriant osmanthus, banyan, magnolia, etc., shade the sky. Clear and bottomless streams pass from west to east. Fangzhou has been built in the water, named Jinlian Island, pavilions and pavilions have been built, and bridges are accessible. The green and green streams in the south of the city are the origin of the beautiful name of Nanxi Mountain.
Nanxi Mountain is located at the head of the General Bridge in the south of the city, about one kilometer away from the railway station. It is named for the lingering Nanxi River. It has East and west two peaks, side by side, towering thousands of feet, the northern cliff, white rocks. New sunshine after rain, clouds and mists begin to open, sunshine shines on the rocks, will emit dazzling brilliance. In ancient times, "Nanxi Xinjie" was one of the eight sceneries in Guilin. There are many caves in Nanxi Mountain, and Bailong Cave in the north is the most famous. Its opening is tall and open, like a tall stone house, with white stone walls and pendulous stone milk, which is very similar to the tap, so it is called Bailong Cave. Inside the cave, there are such wonders as double lion stone, stalagmite to welcome spring and white dragon to spit pearls. Go right out of Bailong Cave, and then go to basalt, which is a colorful Gallery composed of stalactites. The hole is divided into two paths. One can go through the dolomite, the cave has a shorter tunnel, often with clouds and mist through the door, and there are many precious stone carvings in the mouth. Zuo Dao Ketong Guanyin Rock, named after a group of stalactites at the entrance of the cave, resembles the Guanyin Bodhisattva, has now become one of the local citizens'prayers in Guilin.
Nanxi Mountain is at the junction of Zhongshan South Road and Chongxin Road, east of Bayi Bridge. Elevation 291 meters, relative height 141 meters, length 350 meters, width 180 meters, mountain area 7.75 hectares. "Lingui County Chronicle" records: "Nanxi Mountain, Nanwuli County, towering thousands of feet, smoky green floating, its streams East into the Lijiang River." "In the south of the county, Yixi is named Nanxi Mountain because it is called Nanxi" and "Mountain is named after stream". Because there is Bailong Cave in the mountain, it is named Bailong Mountain. The Nanxi River lingers at the northern foot and flows into the Lijiang River. After the rain in Nanxi Mountains, the new sunshine, clouds and mists disperse, the sun shines brightly. In the seventeenth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1891), Zhu Shude listed "Nanxi Xindi" as one of the eight successive sceneries in Guilin, and wrote poems praising it: "When does Nanxi Mountain rise steeply, it opens up a fairyland?" Longyan pregnant Yuquan, Biyang deep stream shadow. Aromatic algae shine into the quiet pheasant mountain. The rainbow tries new tea, and tourists scramble for it." Guilin's rocks are mostly blue and daisy. Only Nanxi's rocks stand side by side with East and West peaks. The rocks are white, overhead and steep. They are smoky and graceful, like two white screens, standing in the south of Guilin City. Nanxi Yuping is one of the 24 new sceneries in Guilin.
There are many caves in Nanxi Mountain. There are Liu Xianyan and Chuanyun in the south, Bailong Cave, Yuanyan Cave, Sizhou Cave and Longji Cave in the north. There is Bailong Spring near Nanxi in the north of the mountain. The depression between the two peaks is named Longji Depression, and the Longji Pavilion is built on it. Built in early 1958, redesigned in 1959, built a "middle" shaped antique pavilion, the main Pavilion for eight columns, single eaves, warping rectangular, two sides of the pavilion, each side of the peak, the total area of 83 square meters, generous and beautiful. The Pavilion is the only way to climb the mountain. The North Pavilion overlooks the city scenery and the streams. The South Pavilion can attract cockfighting peaks. The East Pavilion is the south of the Lijiang River. The West peak of the pavilion meets the Yunhan River. It is an indispensable place to visit the South stream. There are nearly 200 cliff carvings in Nanxi Mountain, which are mostly distributed in Bailong Cave, Yuanyan, Sizhou Rock, Liu Xianyan and Chuanyun Rock. Song Dynasty Zhao Kui's "Guilin Twenty-Four Cave Songs" vividly depicts the mountains and caves in Guilin. "Lingui County Chronicle" says that Nanxi Mountain is "appreciated by Tang, Li and Bo". When Li Bo was appointed to Guizhou as a spiner, he once developed Nanxi Mountain with deep feelings. When he returned to Luoyang at the end of his term, he wrote a poem entitled "Liubei Nanxi": "It is more difficult for me to come here today because I often sigh that spring spring can't go back. If you want to know how to be merciful after parting, hand-planted rock flowers will blossom in the first place. This poem is engraved in Bailong Cave and read by people.
Nanxi Mountain is located on the east side of Bayi Bridge, which is joined by Zhongshan South Road and Chongxin Road. It has an elevation of 291 meters, a relative height of 141 meters, a length of 350 meters, a width of 180 meters and a mountain area of 7.75 hectares. Nanxi clear flow, lingering in the North foot, into the Lijiang River. Nanxi Mountain, Elephant Trunk Mountain and Duxiufeng belong to pure and thick limestone. They were originally homologous with Douji Mountain and Luohan Mountain. They were dissolved by water millions of years ago and were separated into isolated peaks. Nanxi Mountain was developed early, and nearly 200 stone carvings were left on the cliff cave wall since Tang Dynasty. Li Bo's "Preface to Nanxi Mountain Poetry" recorded his experience of developing Nanxi Mountain more than 1000 years ago. Since the Tang Dynasty, all dynasties have been repaired. After being established as a park, it has been built abundantly, and now it has become a landscape scenic spot with distinctive features in Guilin.
Since 1996, more than 500 cherry blossoms of more than 50 varieties have been planted in the north of the mountain, making it the largest cherry garden in Guilin. Every year in early spring and February, cherry blossoms blossom, beautiful. Nanxi Mountain holds Cherry Blossom Festival every year, which has become a beautiful scenery in Guilin.

For a cheap, budget price too.
In a rare break from tradition, Kojima announced that Metal Gear Solid would be coming to a Nintendo system before the 3DS had even launched, highlighting a 3DS port of the game. The port ultimately hit about a year after the system had launched, and while it definitely wasn't as well done as we had been led to believe it would be, it was still Metal Gear Solid 3, and by definition, that made it a great game.
If you have a 3DS, and have never played Metal Gear Solid 3, the 3DS port isn't necessarily a bad way to do it- but of course, with the 3DS game having been out of print for ages now, it's been hard to track down, especially given that there has been no eShop release for the game yet.
Well that changes this Thursday, as Konami confirmed that the game will be hitting the Nintendo eShop on the 3DS on December 18; it will also be extremely cheap, with a budget price of $20. For one of the greatest games ever made? I say that is a damn good deal.

Filmmaker Interviews
A Call to Adventure
by Mark Dispenza
Norway's official Oscar entry is a true-life celebration of human ingenuity and a call to adventure.
Kon-Tiki is a sure crowd-pleaser with its Hollywood-style period production values, the beauty of its ocean cinematography and its depiction of a world of possibility and challenge that seems to elude us today.
Pål Sverre Valheim Hagen stars as Thor Heyerdahl, a Norwegian zoology and geography specialist who spent a number of years studying the islands of Polynesia and its inhabitants. He arrived at the National Geographic Society in New York City following the second world war, seeking funds for an expedition to prove a theory that defied conventional wisdom.
Pål Sverre Valheim Hagen
Heyerdahl believed that Polynesia was settled not from Asia, which was widely accepted at the time, but from Peru. He proposed to build a raft using the Peruvian balsa wood technology of the time and sail it across the Pacific to the island of Raroia.
It's important to realize that knowledge of Pacific Ocean currents seemed to disprove Heyerdahl's theory outright. Coupled with the fact that he did not take to water easily and had little to no knowledge of boats, the idea that he could carry out and survive such a journey was highly unlikely at best. I hate to admit it, but I would have been one of the financiers who initially wrote Heyerdahl off as a nutcase.
But like many of the explorers who push the boundaries of human knowledge, he was unflappable and determined. He assembled a small group of friends and experts who might presumably make up for his weaknesses in ocean navigation, and they set off on their adventure with the whole world monitoring their progress by radio. In August 1947 they arrived at their destination, and our assumptions about the world were challenged once again.
Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg are the Norwegian directing team best known internationally for the Penelope Cruz/ Salma Hayek vehicle, Bandidas. The script is by Petter Skavlan, who until now was known as a writer of documentaries, which makes Kon-Tiki a natural entry point for him into the world of feature film scripting.
Kon-Tiki makes for a fun time at the movies and a reminder of the magic of fearless forays into unknown worlds of possibility. It's a reminder we're sorely in need of today.

War Witch
A Childhood in Hell
The tragic story of sub-Saharan Africa's child soldiers is brought to life in War Witch.
Canadian Kim Nguyen wrote and directed War Witch and shot it on location in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, only the second feature film in history to be made there. He recruited a local, Rachel Mwanza, as his lead actress.
The story opens as 14-year-old Komona, played by Mwanza, tells her unborn child the story of how she became a child soldier two years before. Rebel fighters showed up in her village one day, murdered its inhabitants, and forced Komona to kill her own parents. The young children were spared as new recruits in the rebel army. In order to survive, Komona must set aside her grief and accept the military training forced upon her by the rebels. What follows is a life of fear and bloodshed, and Komona begins to realize that if she remains there, her days are numbered.
Rachel Mwanza
She develops an ability to communicate with the ghosts of the dead, who warn her of impending danger. Armed with that information, she is able to detect the presence of government soldiers and avoid ambush. Her ability quickly brings her to the attention of Great Tiger (Mizinga Mwinga), the rebels' supreme commander. He promotes her to the position of his official "war witch," a dubious honor, as he killed the previous three young women to occupy that role.
She becomes friends with an older boy called Magician, who protects her from the cruelty of her commanders and becomes her closest confidante. After a particularly brutal encounter with the military, he convinces her to run away with him. Their rebel "family" is not keen on letting them go and become determined pursuers.
Through the eyes of Komona, Nguyen brings to life the tragic story of Africa's child soldiers. Forcibly recruited at very young ages, they suffer a loss of innocence and live a traumatizing life of fear and brutality, forced to perpetrate atrocities on others for their own survival.
Like Beasts of the Southern Wild, another film that interprets stark reality through the lens of magical realism, War Witch stars a young local without prior acting experience. Mwanza won Best Actress at the Berlin International Film Festival and is now well-positioned for a bright career. She has said that she used her own personal tragedy and abandonment by her parents to inform her interpretation of Komona, and she does so to good effect.
War Witch is more than a story of lost childhood and the tragedy of war. It's about love and the human capacity for hope and survival even in the most horrific of circumstances. Its powerful message underlies Canada's choice to submit the film as its official submission to the Oscars in the category of best foreign language film, where it is now among the five finalists for that honor.
War Witch begins a limited theatrical run in the USA on March 8 in Southern California.

This is a film blog about "story." It is not about acting or directorial technique. There are plenty of other sources for those. For several years I have served on the review committees of film festivals, written constructive coverage for scriptwriters and provided post-production critique for filmmaker friends. I attend multiple film festivals on an annual basis, and I see many good films that have limited distribution to the general public. The only way to see them is at film festivals or by DVD from obscure sources, and for a few lucky ones, limited art house screenings. I'm often asked to recommend titles by friends and avid film goers I meet. I hope this blog will fill that need and help you find the American independent and foreign films with stories that speak to you.

Apple confirmed Tuesday that Mac OS X Leopard will go on sale Friday, October 26 at 6:00 p.m. at Apple's retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers, and that the company's online store is now accepting pre-orders for the software.
Leopard is packed with more than 300 new features and introduces a brand new desktop with Stacks, a new way to easily access files from the Dock; a redesigned Finder that lets users quickly browse and share files between multiple Macs; Quick Look, a new way to instantly see files without opening an application; Spaces, an intuitive new feature used to create groups of applications and instantly switch between them; and Time Machine, an effortless way to automatically back up everything on a Mac.
"Leopard, the sixth major release of Mac OS X, is the best upgrade we've ever released," said Apple chief executive Steve Jobs. "And everyone gets the 'Ultimate' version, packed with all the new innovative features, for just $129."
Leopard's new desktop includes the redesigned 3D Dock with Stacks, a new way to organize files for quick and easy access with just one click. Leopard automatically places web, email and other downloads in a Downloads stack to maintain a clutter-free desktop, and users can instantly fan the contents of this and other Stacks into an elegant arc right from the Dock. Users can also create their own Stacks for quick access to folders, documents or applications. Leopard's new look extends to all applications, with every window on the desktop offering a consistent design theme and active windows outlined by deeper shadows that make them stand out.
The updated Finder includes Cover Flow and a new sidebar with a simplified way to search for, browse and copy content from any PC or Mac on a local network. Content on any computer on a local network can now be searched using Spotlight, browsed using Cover Flow or copied across the network with a simple drag and drop. .Mac members can also use the new Back to My Mac feature to browse and access files on their remote Macs over the Internet.
Meanwhile, Apple bills Quick Look as the fastest and easiest way for users to look inside files without launching them or even having the application that created them. With Quick Look, users can instantly view full-screen, high-resolution files of virtually anything, even media files, from any view in the Finder.
Another new feature, Spaces, gives users a powerful new way to organize their work by creating customized desktops which can contain only those applications or documents needed for each project, with the ability to quickly switch between Spaces with the mouse or keyboard.
One of the most powerful features of Leopard is a new piece of backup software dubbed Time Machine, which lets users easily back up all of the data on their Mac, find lost files and even restore all of the software on their Mac. With just a one-click setup, Time Machine automatically keeps an up-to-date copy of everything on the Mac. In the event a file is lost, users can search back through time to find deleted files, applications, photos and other digital media and then instantly restore the file. If it's ever necessary, Leopard can also easily restore an entire system from the Time Machine data on an external drive.
Mail has also been updated in Leopard and features more than 30 stationery designs and layouts that look great on a Windows PC or Mac so users can easily send stylish, personalized emails with beautiful graphics and photos. Notes and To Dos help users stay organized by acting just like emails that can be easily created, saved as drafts, synced across multiple Macs and stored in Smart Mailboxes. Data detectors automatically sense phone numbers, addresses and events so they can be added to Address Book or iCal with just a few clicks, and users can keep up-to-date by getting the latest news and blog feeds delivered directly to the their mailboxes with a built-in RSS reader.
iChat, which Apple calls the 'easiest-to-use video conferencing application' on any personal computer, offers even richer video chats in Leopard with iChat Theater, which makes it easy to show photos, presentations, videos or files in a video conference; screen sharing which lets users remotely view and operate another Mac; and Photo Booth effects for fun distortions and video backdrops that can instantly make users appear to be anywhere they choose.
an updated version of Front Row, making it even easier to play music or watch movies, TV shows and photos on a Mac using the ultra-simple Apple Remote.
Mac OS X version 10.5 Leopard will be available on October 26 at Apple's retail stores and through Apple Authorized Resellers for a suggested retail price of $129 (US) for a single user license, and online pre-orders can be made through Apple's online store starting today. The Mac OS X Leopard Family Pack is a single-household, five-user license that will be available for a suggested retail price of $199 (US). Volume and maintenance pricing is available from Apple. The standard Mac OS Up-To-Date upgrade package is available to all customers who purchased a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after October 1, 2007 for a shipping and handling fee of $9.95 (US). Leopard requires a minimum of 512MB of RAM and is designed to run on any Macintosh computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5 or G4 (867 Mhz or faster) processor. Full system requirements can be found at Apple's website.
Check out AppleInsider's ongoing Road to Leopard Series: iChat 4.0, Mail 3.0, Time Machine; Spaces, Dock 1.6, Finder 10.5, Dictionary 2.0, and Preview 4.0.


Apple's third generation iPad will hit stores tomorrow, and the early reviews are in.
The new tablet has a 9.7 inch, 2048 x 1536 pixel display, 1GB of RAM, and quad-core graphics. It's a little thicker and heavier than the iPad 2, but gets the same 10 hours of battery life despite the new CPU, higher resolution display, and the addition of 4G LTE wireless.
I was going to round up reviews from top news and gadget sites and provide a little taste of what each review had to offer. But they're all pretty much saying the same thing.
So here's the uber-summary: This is the best tablet on the market. It has the best screen and feels at least as fast as its predecessor, if not faster.
If you already have an iPad 2 and you're happy with it, there's probably not much reason to upgrade at this point unless you desperately want the better screen or higher quality camera. But if you're in the market for a new iPad, this is the one to get.
Of course, some folks prefer Android, Windows, Linux, or other operating systems to iOS even though there are probably more tablet-specific apps for the iPad than any other platform. But in terms of hardware it's hard to find a better tablet, and it plays nicely with other Apple devices thanks to iCloud file synchronization and the Airplay service for streaming media to an Apple TV.
The new iPad goes on sale in stores at 8:00AM on Friday, March 16th. Customers who ordered online should also start receiving their shipments tomorrow.
Got mine Tuesday from Apple order. Too bad I'm not home right now to open it up!

Your reputation is the currency of operation on social media. Can users trust your brand? What is the general perception revolving around your brand? What do social media users think about when your brand name pops up? If you know the answers to these questions, you will be able to protect your reputation or address any shortfalls that could significantly harm your brand activity both online and offline.
According to the prominent investor Warren Buffet, your reputation will take years to build but may come undone in a matter of minutes. On the internet, where perception is king, this may be even quicker and could carry significant and lasting consequences. If your reputation takes a hit online, you will need to address it swiftly.
But what may damage your reputation on social media? There are many factors that could influence user perception negatively and impact your brand. You need to be careful about the consistency and quality of your posts, as well as the subject matter. You also need to watch your interaction with clients, as well as you affiliated partnerships. You could even get a bad reputation by consistently advertising products to your followers instead of using a more subtle approach. Almost every negative social media activity can harm your reputation on social media.
Has your reputation taken a hit? You may have a harder time achieving your desired metrics of growth without positive public perception. It is important that you address this as quickly as possible. The first and most integral step is finding out what is responsible for the development of an unfavorable perception. If you do not address it, any other efforts listed below that do not directly look to mitigate it could be pointless and ineffective. These are the most common causes of negative perception and how you may overcome them to gain favorable backing for your brand on social media.
Users on social media will associate your brand with excessive advertisements if you take up an aggressive advertisement approach. Many will prefer to interact with your brand on a personal level, which may mean finding informative, helpful and entertaining content. When you focus too much on advertisements, they will be unlikely to find any value in your brand. Your efforts could even work to detract them further. A great case in point against advertising is the impact that marketing strategies may have through Facebook. If you share adverts directly through your social media pages on the platform, they generally have a less than favorable likelihood of increasing conversion levels. However, using paid targeting options could help drive up sales significantly, even when you do not carry out any advertisements on your profile. You could make an auto comment instagram investment, or promote your content on Twitter and Linkedin, for beneficial outcomes to your brand.
There are many strategic questions that will guide your social media planning before you even set up on the platform. You need to understand how you will use social media to get ahead in order to actually benefit. Without careful planning, you could end up engaging in social media activity that could have little impact on your ability to benefit. Before you set up your accounts, you also need to make sure you can handle the increased staffing needs. Many people, as mentioned above, will be unlikely to trust brands that are inconsistent in their activity. By setting up on social media without sufficient capacity, you could run the risk of harming your potential clients' trust in your brand. Instead, you should make careful considerations about your staffing capacity to avoid any such eventuality. If you do not have enough staff to handle a social media account, you should avoid setting up on the platform. If you have already accrued a bad reputation from poor staffing, you should consider increasing your staff size to match your needs. Only consider closing down different social media accounts if you do not feel that you can meet the increased staffing demands imposed by having multiple social media accounts.
By setting up a social media team, you could run the risk of damaging your reputation. There are many brands that have faced significant damage to their reputation as a result of the actions of their representatives. How can members of your team affect your brand's reputation? The quality and content of their posts to your brand accounts, particularly if they are unapproved, could affect user perception of your brand. They may also impact your reputation through their private social media accounts, since your followers could take their opinions as representing your own. It is a potentially risky course with significant consequences that may occur without any actual input from your brand. In the event that a member of your social media team misrepresents your brand, you need to issue an apology for their actions and make it clear that they do not represent your views. You can require social media team members top take a course on how to represent your brand online, as well as set out a social media policy that dictates how and when they should share posts. You may also approve posts beforehand to avoid any risk to your reputation arising from their actions. If they are on social media, you can require that they share a disclaimer that distinctly draws a line between their private accounts and your brand.
A damaged reputation could have lasting consequences on your brand. You need to take up preventive measures to avoid this risk. If you already have experienced a shift in perception, you may need to take up swift and decisive measures to address it. The longer any negative perception is left unaddressed, the more likely it is to grow. You could also consider online reputation management to help get your brand's reputation in order.


GT-111 is a gene therapy product candidate in early clinical development for the treatment of advanced differentiated thyroid cancer, for the treatment of relapsed glioblastoma multiform and for the treatment of ovarian cancer.
VBL Therapeutics announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designation to its lead oncology drug VB-111, for prolongation of survival in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (rGBM).
VB-111 is the first highly targeted anti-angiogenic agent for the specific inhibition of tumor vascular growth to use VTS™™, our proprietary platform technology, for cancer therapy. VB-111 is an IV-administered anti angiogenic agent that works in a manner akin to a "biological knife" to destroy tumor vasculature, thus cutting off blood vessels feeding the tumor.
VB-111 has shown significant promise as a targeted cancer treatment with the potential to work synergistically in combination with conventional chemotherapy treatments to provide an effective treatment regimen for cancer patients. Pharmacological and toxicology studies of VB-111 have showed tissue specificity for the tumor tissue, no significant damage to normal non-cancerous tissues or to the normal vasculatures in the body and more than 90 percent tumor burden reduction in a metastatic lung cancer model with only one injection. Similar efficacy was shown in other tumor models.
Phase 1 Clinical Trial – in a Phase 1 "all comers" dose escalation study in 33 patients with advanced metastatic cancer, therapeutic doses of VB-111 demonstrated antitumor activity and was found to be safe and well tolerated with no effect on liver function or major changes in complete blood count. Findings have been presented at the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meetings.

Iran, Afghanistan confer on Harirud incident in Kabul
TEHRAN, May 26 (MNA) – Afghanistan ministry of foreign affairs announced on Tuesday that an Iranian delegation, led by Iran's deputy foreign minister Mohsen Baharvand, has hold talks with an Afghan delegation headed by Foreign Minister Mohammad Hanif Atmar, in Kabul.
In this meeting, Atmar called for Iran's full cooperation on joint investigations related to the Harirud incident, which led to the death of a number of Afghan migrants near the Iran-Afghanistan border in early May.
"The purpose of this research is to get the facts, to take legal action against the perpetrators, and to take the necessary measures to prevent such unfortunate incidents in the future, which may affect the relations between the two friendly and neighboring countries," he said.
The Afghan official also expressed gratitude for the medical assistance of Iran to Afghanistan under the coronavirus pandemic.
The Iranian side, who was accompanied by foreign ministry Director-General for West-Asia Seyyed Rasoul Mousavi and the representative of Iranian border guards, for his part, voiced Iran's commitment to conducting investigations over the incident.
Both sides underscored the vitality of preventing similar incidents in the future.
On May 1, some claims surfaced in media reports that Iranian border guards had tortured and thrown as many as 57 Afghans into the Hari River (Harirud) in western Herat province to prevent their illegal entry into Iran. The Khaama Press News Agency said at least 23 of them drowned in Harirud.
Tehran has roundly rejected the claims, saying the incident took place on the Afghan side of the border and Iranian forces had no role in the incident.
Iran has extensive evidence that the incident has not happened on its borders. According to Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi, the confirmed reports received from the border guards of the Islamic Republic of Iran show that such an incident has not occurred on the mentioned date and location. He noted that Iran has not been associated with Afghan migrants and the claims of transferring people to camps or inhumane treatment are completely baseless. He added that due to weather conditions of the region, not a single Afghan citizen entered the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran on that date.

PHOTOS: Ruido Fest Puts a Long Overdue Spotlight on Chicago's Latino Music Fans
By Richard Villegas
Photo by Angela Mejia for Remezcla
Chicago's stellar second installment of Ruido Fest took place over the weekend, and it was packed with riffs, pits, and singalongs that left hundreds of stories and hangovers in its wake. Droves of Latinos braved the scorching sun and crowded into Adams/Medill Park in the historically Mexican neighborhood of Pilsen to see some of their favorite artists – indie and mainstream – from across the Americas and Spain. Ruido Fest faced its share of growing pains this time around, most of which were handled well, while others were simply out of organizer's hands.
Before the festival even started, the unexpected announcement that La Ley, Friday's headliner, had canceled their set left many scratching their heads. Uncertainty only grew when Mon Laferte and Hong Kong Blood Opera also canceled, while other bands like Adan & Xavi and Comisario Pantera had noticeably absent band members. Stories of visa and customs issues left Ruido organizers scrambling to fill the holes in their lineup, reaching out to Silverio and Adan & Xavi to play extra shows, moving Panteon Rococó into a headlining slot, and the last minute addition of Chilean reggae band Gondwana to even out the bill.
Then there was the issue of sponsorship. For Ruido to grow in size and highlight artists who rarely get a second glance from mainstream festivals in the U.S., it will likely face a marked increase in corporate sponsorship. This year the stages boasted AT&T and Coors Light banners in lieu of last year's luchador namesakes. There was also a Toyota set up – complete with bleachers and display cases – which ended up being larger than the official third stage the company had sponsored; unfortunately, there was limited visibility and many bands struggled to play comfortably there.
The crowd was only slightly fazed by these hiccups and was down to boogie from the start. Helado Negro kicked things off on Friday, tinsel dancers and all, hypnotizing the crowd with his sensual beats and beautiful howls. Where Mexrrissey encountered sound difficulties leaving many unmoved, the complete opposite happened when Miranda! burst on the stage in fully ruffled costumes, walking the audience through an hour-long singalong of their greatest hits, complete with choreography and shrieks of elation. Carla Morrison, Panteon Rococó, and Silverio all closed out the Friday stages in high spirits, leaving the day's rocky start in the dust.
Saturday started bright and early with Vaya Futuro. The Tijuana foursome brought their beautiful dreamy shoegaze to the Ruido stage, as well as the easygoing banter that went on to make them festival darlings. The smaller Toyota stage had its best showing on Saturday, featuring spectacular sets by Chicago indie rockers You Are Here, the brilliant rhyming of Mexico City's LNG/SHT and a complete shredding session from Spain's Sexy Zebras. Though closing sets by Natalia LaFourcade and Maldita Vecindad were the biggest crowd pleasers, the day's most riveting set came from Le Bucherettes, who barreled through their set list with the force of a runaway train. Clad in red from head to toe, lead singer Teri Genderbender wailed, danced, simulated childbirth, and crowd surfed well after the end of the set, eyes closed and breathlessly thanking the audience.
Sunday posed many questions, since the day's lineup featured the most buzzed about artists and suffered the bulk of the weekend's cancellations. The first unmissable band was Marineros, who gathered a large crowd but received a lukewarm response after technical difficulties marred their sound. Costa Rican garage rockers Las Robertas were up next, shaking the entire park back to life with their high-powered fuzzy riffs and excellent drumming. Dromedarios Mágicos – the rising folk star from Chihuahua – had one of the festival's most heartwarming sets, playing to an audience largely comprised of fellow artists, press, and new friends he'd made throughout the weekend. His set featured a cover of AJ Davila's "Ya Sé," guest strumming by Vaya Futuro's Aldair Cerezo and front row cheering by LNG/SHT.

The day's sweetest moment was followed by its most dangerous, when Silverio stepped in as Mon Laferte's replacement for his third performance of the weekend, having played on Friday and at one of the official after parties the night before. There was no sign of oversaturation for Su Majestad Imperial, with the crowd eating up his campy punk while showering the stage in beer cans, red skivvies, and insults. Aterciopelados and Los Fabulosos Cadillacs closed out the festival by playing remarkable sets for frenzied crowds.

It's safe to say the sophomore edition of Ruido Fest had a larger draw than its predecessor, largely building on excellent talent and positive word of mouth from last year's event. However, the festival's lack of genre diversity is something Ruido organizers can address in future installments, since most of the lineup featured pretty straight and narrow rock en español acts. Some may argue this is the festival's only marketable genre, but the remarkable success of Miranda!, Silverio, and Camilo Lara's cumbiafied Mexican Institute of Sound DJ set all beg to differ. As an extension of Riot Fest, it makes sense that Ruido organizers favor rock acts, but a big pop or reggaeton act might present great opportunities for the growth of the festival.
Ruido's integration of local acts did not go unnoticed this year, with many coming out to support friends and family. "For us as local bands this means we have a voice that we can project to other parts of the U.S. or Latin America," says Julian Jeronimo of You Are Here. "Three years ago, if you had told me there would be a Latin music festival of this magnitude in Chicago, I would have told you no way! Go to LA! Go to New York! I think the promoters know what's going on and really want to push a scene here." You Are Here is one of six Chicago bands that played the festival, generating plenty of buzz for the bourgeoning scene.

Ultimately, the weekend can and should be seen as a success. Curveballs aside, spirits were high, the artists were thrilled to be present, and most importantly, people had fun. Chicago is beginning to attract the attention it deserves, and it is largely due to the personal stake local Latinos have in supporting raza-oriented endeavors. Two years running, Ruido Fest is still a blast and provided they listen to the community and learn from experience, the festival has a bright future ahead.

I agree that we have the same take on things and you can rest assured that you offer a very different service to that of your competitors in Adelaide.
I met with Kellie a few weeks ago. Kellie immediately empowered me to make a change in my life and reassured me that my experience would be greatly valued elsewhere. Kellie is very in-tune with her client's needs and was able to recommend to me a number of companies that would be suited to my personal values and career goals. I was very impressed that she was able to line up interviews within a week of our initial catch up, where she then personally campaigned for me with these companies to ensure that I got the best deal. As a young woman in the construction industry, it is so important to feel that someone is on your side, and she did exactly that. I feel like I have found a mentor in her and have recommended her to other friends due to her impeccable customer service and professionalism. Kellie is an empowering and positive role model for people and really cares about her clients and makes sure they get the best possible service from her.

Browse through all of the KSP History posts at http://www.ksphistory.com. By the spring of 1989, the Shuttle had been back in action for three flights, including a classified DoD payload as well as two Tracking and Data Relay Satellite deployments, one of which Discovery's Return to Flight (STS-26 http://imgur.com/a/lNWOn). Things were returning to normal post-Challenger, and it was time to make the next step in Shuttle history.
The last interplanetary probe that the US launched was Pioneer Venus Orbiter, which has departed from Earth in 1978, nearly 11 years earlier. NASA had intended to break this streak sooner, but Challenger's tragic loss had pushed back three deep-space missions, including Ulysses, Galileo, and Magellan. At last, Magellan was ready to fly first, bound for Venus.
STS-30's commander was Dave Walker, who first flew on STS-51-A, Discovery's mission to capture two errant satellites in 1984 (http://imgur.com/a/A2Iix). Walker would go on to command two more missions before retiring in 1996. He was a space technology consultant for the film Deep Impact in 1998. Walker died in 2001 from lung cancer.
The pilot was Ronald Grabe, who first flew on Atlantis' maiden voyage in 1985 (http://imgur.com/a/9v4kc). He was making his 2nd of four spaceflights.
The first mission specialist was Mark Lee, an Air Force Academy graduate from Wisconsin. Lee earned a civil engineering degree before going for pilot training, then flew F-4s in the 25th Tactical Fighter Squadron in Okinawa. He later returned stateside to earn his masters at MIT, after which he learned to fly F-16s. Lee was selected as an astronaut candidate in 1984, completing his training in 1985. His specialties included EVA work and the Inertial Upper Stage, as well as Spacelab and Space Station systems. This was his first space flight.
The second mission specialist was veteran Norman Thagard (right), who first flew way back on STS-7 in 1983 (http://imgur.com/a/C2VrT), but also aboard STS-51-B. Thagard was in the middle of a fruitful astronaut career - he would make two more flights after STS-30, including one aboard a Russian Soyuz.
The final mission specialist was Mary Cleave, whom we first met on STS-61-B (http://imgur.com/a/0EzKy), where she helped launch three communications satellites and tested some space station construction techniques. This was her final space flight. Cleave left JSC in 1991 to join Goddard Space Flight Centre, where she was Project Manager for SeaWiFS (Sea-viewing, Wide-Field-of-view-Sensor), a project which monitored ocean colour to track vegetation. In 2004 she was Associate Administrator for the Science Mission Directorate until her retirement in 2007.
STS-30 was flown on Atlantis, which had just spent a lengthy spell in the Orbiter Processing Facility after significant tile damage following STS-27. Ablative material from the boosters had fallen into the orbiter's TPS during ascent and caused a very dangerous scare to the astronauts in orbit. STS-27 was a classified DoD mission, which meant that communications were on a lower-bandwidth encrypted channel. This prevented ground controllers from understanding the poor quality inspection photos sent down from orbit, dismissing them as non-concerning, to the objections of the astronauts.
Thankfully, Atlantis returned intact, but on inspection, it was discovered that over 700 tiles had been damaged, and one was missing altogether. Through a stroke of luck, the missing tile was over top of a steel-reinforced antenna plate, which perhaps prevented a burn-through during re-entry (which would have resulted in a Columbia-like destruction in the atmosphere). Detailed inspections and repairs were completed on the ground over three months.
In late March 1989, Atlantis was rolled onto the pad in preparation for launch. Finally, on May 4th, she lifted off from Cape Canaveral, taking the Magellan probe into orbit.
After a successful roll program, Atlantis began pitching over backwards, steadily climbing into the sky. After two minutes, the SRB thrust began dipping towards burnout, and they were jettisoned.
Atlantis continued on her SSMEs til T+08:31, when MECO occurred. Zero Thrust occurred seven seconds later (the point at which the engines are no longer emitting any thrust at all).
Another seven seconds later, the external tank is jettisoned upwards.
The payload bay doors opened one after the other, venting heat that had built up through ascent. Megallan, connected to her IUS transfer stages, is now visible.
A first burn of the Orbital Manoeuvring System occurs at T+10:31, raising the trajectory of Atlantis to its target apogee of around 360km. A second burn occurred at T+44:27, halfway around the world, circularizing the orbit.
Megallan, along with the upcoming Galileo and Ulysses probes, were originally designed to fly on the Centaur-G upper stage. Based on earlier Centaur upper stages (which had powered some of NASA's most successful missions, including Surveyor http://imgur.com/a/4b6oU, Viking http://imgur.com/a/IvGcg, and Voyager http://imgur.com/a/SmnIJ), Centaur-G had a widened hydrogen tank to better fit the Shuttle's payload bay and provide the extra power necessary to launch heavier probes. Both Discovery and Columbia were outfitted with necessary support brackets to launch Centaur-G.
Post-Challenger, NASA decided that Centaur-G was too dangerous to fly on a manned mission. It used cryogenic propellants and required a complicated on-orbit support system (called CISS, or "Centaur Integrated Support System") to support rapid dumping of the fuel in the event of an abort. In addition, it was so heavy that it would necessitate all SSMEs to fire at 109% thrust and would only place the Shuttle in the lowest possible altitude.
Instead, Magellan and its peers would fly using the trusted, solid-fueled IUS. Though it did not have the power of Centaur-G, it could still use both stages to reach escape velocity (though all of its missions took longer to reach their destinations).
The crew got right to work, preparing to launch the payload 6 hours into the flight. As with all IUS deployments, it was first tilted out of the payload bay to around 29 degrees for full system check out and prep.
Then, it was raised to its target attitude (about 50 degrees out of the payload bay). Using the Shuttle's RCS thrusters, they could point it into its burn trajectory before deployment.
Pyrotechnic charges separate the payload, and a large spring system pushes it out of the bay.
The deployment was flawless, and Magellan coasted away from the shuttle at a leisurely pace.
A quick OMS burst separates the shuttle from Magellan to reach a safe distance from it's burn.
In the remaining days of the mission, further experiments were completed inside the cabin of Atlantis. Some of these experiments featured Earth-observation, specifically lightning discharges during the night time.
Cleave performed video recording of the Fluid Experiment Apparatus, a microgravity chemistry experiment, which heated and cooled different materials to observe their behaviour.
Lastly, the shuttle was used as a cooperative target for a ground-based experiment in Hawai'i.
Electro-optical sensors located at the Haleakala Observatory in Maui made sightings and imagery of Atlantis as it passed overhead, calibrating cameras and other sensors.
Finally, after four days in orbit, it was time to return home. An OMS burn completed the de-orbit, and commander Walker oriented Atlantis into its proper re-entry attitude.
Re-entry was much smoother than Atlantis' previous flight, with a fully-functional Thermal Protection System.
During the final approach, bad crosswinds caused a last-minute runway change at Edwards Air Force base.
But landing was without issue otherwise.
Up in space, it was time for Magellan to leave Earth forever. Stay tuned for the next episode, where we explore Magellan's trip to Venus.

Prosecutor Investigates if Detroit Mayor, Aide Exchanged Romantic Text-Messages
DETROIT – The county prosecutor said Friday she has opened an investigation following a newspaper report that Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his top aide exchanged sexually explicit text messages that appear to contradict the pair's denials in court that they had romantic ties.
"The Wayne County prosecutor's office will conduct an independent investigation that will be fair, impartial and thorough," Prosecutor Kym Worthy said at a morning news conference. "We will not be rushed by anyone or anything."
Worthy didn't elaborate on the specifics of her investigation, but said she was unaware of the text messages until she read a report in the Detroit Free Press on Thursday.
The text messages raise the question of whether the mayor and Chief of Staff Christine Beatty committed perjury during a whistle-blower trial last summer.
A conviction of lying under oath can bring up to 15 years' imprisonment.
Also on Friday, a union president called for Kilpatrick to resign.
John Riehl, president of American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 207, said the union wants the mayor to step down right away. It has 900 members and represents workers in the city's water and public lighting departments.
"He's compromised the public trust," Riehl said. "Nobody can believe a single thing he says from now on."
Kilpatrick and Beatty during last summer's trial denied any sexual or romantic ties in 2002 and 2003. But the Free Press said it examined 14,000 text messages on Beatty's city-issued pager from those years and found many examples of such ties.
Kilpatrick's lone public statement about the messages was issued late Wednesday, shortly after the Free Press story was posted on the Internet.
"These five- and six-year-old text messages reflect a very difficult period in my personal life," he said. "It is profoundly embarrassing to have these extremely private messages now displayed in such a public manner."
On Thursday, mayoral spokesman James Canning said in a statement that Kilpatrick and his family were returning from Florida on Thursday evening "and plan to continue their private time for the next several days."

Quit job before having another lined up?
I don't think customer service is a good idea. That may be moving from bad to worse. That's what I'm doing. I remember one week the EMS was at my job everyday wheeling out girls who had panic attacks.
3 months savings is not enough to quit. While no job is worth your sanity, being unemployed with a shrinking fund will stress you out more. Only quit if you can go home and stay with family while you job search.
I would HIGHLY recommend using some vacation time or a long weekend to focus your job search. Before the days free use whatever few free hours you can scrape to job search and bookmark interesting jobs.
On your free day edit your resume/cover letter and apply to those joints back to back. Don't rush, make sure you proofread, but you should be able to knock out about 20 in a day.
Can you quit in your state and receive unemployment? You said that you're injured...do you qualify for disability? That's the only way that I would do it if I had less than 6 months worth of expenses saved.
You never know how long that it could take to find a new job. My sister quit her job because it was emotionally taxing and she felt free as a bird for the first two months. Then it sunk in that finding a job is no easy thing these days. She was out of work for eight months and she's an engineer She took a job that was worse than the last one, but she got an offer four months after she started.
There's no guarantee that your next job will be any better. You want to walk into a better situation, which you can do when you have the financial leverage to do so. If you feel like it's something that you have to do, then do it, but be prepared.
See I did this too, but I didn't have a degree. This is especially eye opening seeing people with degrees not being able to find jobs. Shyyyyt I'll never do that ish again. If you are working in the field your degree is in and you can't handle this job.....what are you going to do in the future? It's good to have experience to go along with your education. I'm sure you can get a full time call center or retail type of job if you hate it that much.
Wow. It's customer service, who gets that upset at someone yelling at you over the phone? I never let it bother me to that extent.
It is not only having a customer yell at you but other factors as call time, call hold, phone etiquette, company script or call points etc. High volume call center can break most people.
Yea, I know. Well if people can't handle that, how do they think they can handle more difficult jobs?
Not everyone is made of Teflon.
I know its not a good idea to quit your job without having another one lined up, but are there circumstances that justify doing it?
I am debating hard about this.
My job is physically (I'm currently injured) and mentally (coworker recently had a stress induced panic attack and I feel like I might not be far behind)draining. Which would be fine if I felt like it would get me somewhere but this is a dead-end and I know it.
No such thing as work/life balance at this place. Regularly work 50+ hour weeks with no overtime cause I'm on salary. Get notified about change of schedule on the day of. "Oh yeah we are working a 12 hour shift today instead of an 8"
The job is in my field (chemistry) but I do not feel like I am learning much of anything that I didn't already know from school.
I constantly have to fight with the other managers to do my job and have to babysit the non-salaried workers in order to make sure they do their job correctly.
I've just been trying to hold on until I get into graduate school, so I can help my mom with bills.
I have a little over three months worth of expenses saved.
Should I quit now and immediately start a job search?
Or should I risk more physical and mental injury to keep a steady pay check and job search when I'm not passed out tired from work(the weekends...that if I they don't decide to call me in)?
You need to get out of there .. but do it in a smart way.
5- when you get an offer - accept it but tell them you cannot start until X day so that you can have a nice 2 week break between jobs.
If your FIELD is Chemistry and they had you doing baby work ... this would be career suicide.
It depends on how quickly you can find another job. Some people can find another job in a matter of a few days, whereas if you work in a saturated field it could take months.
What are you going to graduate school for?
