Funky Famicom controller that works one handed, though perhaps Genki lacks a bit of dexterity and needs a bit more practise. Comfortable layout and a fine additional controller for the system.
Brand new. Very slight box wear, with a couple of tape remnants and a couple of price sticker removal marks.

or  is a small lake in Tromsø Municipality in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. The lake sits at the highest point on the central part of the island of Tromsøya inside the city of Tromsø. Prestvannet was built up as a reservoir in 1867, and continued in that role until 1921. Since then it has been used as park land and a nature reserve.

The pond area has been preserved as a nesting place for various birds. The pond and its surrounding wooded area form an important natural area for the Tromsø area. Encircling the pond is a track commonly used for recreational activities and sports, as well as a nature trail with plaques giving information about the local wildlife. In the winter, the frozen pond is a popular place for ice skating.

GREEK FINANCIAL MARKET
The General Index in Athens Stock Exchange (ASE) closed at 1,228.23 posting profits of 2.72%, in a turnover of €159.50mn, registering a new 29-month high, due to the two-notch upgrade of Greece's credit rating by Moody's.
Fitch affirmed Greece's long-term foreign and local currency issuer default ratings (IDR) at B-. The issue ratings on Greece's senior unsecured foreign and local currency bonds have also been affirmed at B-. The outlooks on the long-term IDRs are stable. The short-term foreign currency IDR has been affirmed at B and the country ceiling upgraded to B+ from B. Fitch expects negotiations with the troika of the troika to reach a satisfactory conclusion by year-end. Near term, Greece is fully funded until February 2014, it added. Fitch has revised its real GDP forecast for 2013 to negative 4% from negative 4.3%, leaving 2014 unchanged at 0.5%.
According to Markit, the Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) in November rose for the first time since September 2009 to 49.2 points from 47.3 points in October. New orders meanwhile stabilised after having fallen in the prior month and employment decreased at a slower rate, both developments also contributing to the PMI's rise.

Are you scratching your head and wondering how you can accept payments for your product? How will you accept cash from a customer across the country? How can you process credit or debit cards? What are the risks involved?
You should be considering how you will sell your idea in an online marketplace such as eBay or Amazon or, if you are going to sell your product directly on your own website. If you choose to sell on a marketplace website, you have little to worry about in terms of accepting credit card details as all of this is built into the site itself.
Why do you want to accept credit card payments?
By accepting credit card payments, you are taking full advantage of impulse buyers who pervade the market. If someone sees your product, loves it and is willing to spend the asking price, then you need to be able to take the credit card details and process the payment quickly and efficiently. Impulse buyers are exactly that, impulsive; they want to buy now rather than later to avoid potential second thoughts regarding their purchase.
If you want to process payments yourself, you will need to find a bank that will allow you to open a merchant account. The bank will then provide you with the means to be able to accept payments online or over the phone, making transactions hassle free and easy to track.
Typically known as "payment gateways," there are a variety of companies willing to accept payments for you in exchange for a small fee. These gateways take responsibility for processing payments on your behalf, acting as a middleman between you and the consumer. These companies often offer peace of mind as their reputation is generally based on their excellent customer service and ease of use, both of which go very far in ensuring customer satisfaction and retention.
Which method of accepting payment is best for you?
There is an initial cost when you open a merchant account with a bank, which is typically a higher fee than a third party merchant. Usually, third party merchants do not charge a set-up fee; however, charges are accrued when individual payments are processed through the service itself.
Having your own merchant account is advantageous because the individual transaction fees are smaller than those charged by most third party merchants.
On the other hand, if you are utilizing a third party merchant and your product does not sell, then you have wasted money on set-up fees. However, despite this potential loss, a third party merchant is ideal for testing the market. Overall, most prefer to use third party merchants because all processing is handled through a trusted company, making the process generally stress-free for all involved.
Consider all options before making your decision. Weigh both the advantages and disadvantages in terms of service, ease of use and cost. In addition, compare the fees associated with set-up and individual transactions based on your potential marketability and sales as one method may be cheaper in the long run.

FEATURE  Another AIDS Crisis
by Greg Hambrick February 21, 2007
[image-1]
The waiting list for the state's prescription program for impoverished and uninsured HIV and AIDS patients has been growing at a brisk clip recently, adding at least one person per day since the beginning of January. The drug program is seriously underfunded and the legislature continues to shirk a $3 million request from the Department of Health and Environmental Control, a request that has already been surpassed by the growing need.
South Carolina ranks an abysmal ninth in the nation for HIV infections and sixth for AIDS cases. Through the prescription program, the state provides about $885 in medicine to 1,300 people a month. Local and state facilitators say the static levels in funding aren't keeping up as patients live longer, new ones are diagnosed, and drug costs continue to climb. While the problem is recognizable, the solution is elusive. In the complicated world of state finance, it has basically been presented like this: DHEC can put feelers out to legislators that they need the money, but it's up to the legislature to create a supplemental spending bill that could include money for the drug program. Without the bill, the agency, local advocates, and HIV and AIDS patients can only sit and wait.
In a recent New York Times article, the South Carolina legislature got its butt handed to it in a comparison with neighboring states. North Carolina provides $11 million for its program, or 40 percent of the total cost. Georgia provides $12 million, or 26 percent of its drug program's total cost. South Carolina's contribution remains at $500,000, only 3 percent of the total cost of the program.
In budget requests to a House subcommittee, DHEC asked for $5 million in the next fiscal year, beginning July 1, to take care of the waiting list, but as the agency waits for money, the need for the program grows. At the end of the year, the waiting list had reached 370. Six weeks later, the list had grown to 421. Not only has the waiting list grown, but the number of people the state assists through the program has dropped by about 100 as spots are left unfilled when people die or find other means to pay for their medicine. This practice ensures there's enough money to take care of those already in the program.
The alternative for impoverished and uninsured HIV patients is an emergency program administered by pharmaceutical companies that's available for only the few states that have a waiting list. At the end of the year, that included South Carolina and Alaska, which has only 13 on its list.
The programs require HIV patients to fill out applications for individual prescriptions every 30 days. Typically these patients are taking at least three drugs at any time, making the monthly request process laborious and time-consuming for them, says Bradley Childs, executive director of Lowcountry AIDS Services.
"It takes a toll on them," he says.
With differing eligibility requirements, some patients also may not be getting the drugs that they need.
Rep. Joseph Neal (D-Richland), a member of the state's House Ways and Means Committee, is leading an AIDS Drug Assistance Program crisis task force to lobby the legislature for the funding.
"It's all about educating," Childs says.
That education should reach beyond ADAP to include other AIDS-related programs that are coming up short in state dollars, Childs says, including HIV prevention education that gets no state money.
"The state of South Carolina receives a million dollars in federal money a year (for prevention education) and contributes nothing," Childs says. "People think that if they don't talk about it, it goes away. But, instead, it festers."
While he doesn't doubt that news of the waiting list was just slow to reach some legislators, Childs says that for others, ignorance was bliss.
"I think for some, it was a choice not to know," he says.
The legislature can't be held solely culpable for the shortfall. Federal funding for the drug assistance program has been woefully inadequate for years, says Lynda Kettinger, director of DHEC's STD and HIV program.
There is hope that a change in how federal dollars are doled out will mean an infusion for South Carolina. Changes will account for a state's HIV population, not just AIDS patients, when it comes to federal dollars, Kettinger says. There's also an expectation that the allocations will be modified to account for the modern-day reality that HIV and AIDS are no longer "big city diseases," Childs says.
"When the epidemic first started, you saw it in the larger cities, so that's where all the dollars went," he says. "Now that it has spread into the rural areas and smaller cities, those dollars have not been redistributed."
Last year, Florida had $6 million in federal money that went unspent, Childs notes. "That would take care of our problem."
National AIDS activist groups released statements earlier this month criticizing the $21 million President Bush is proposing in his 2008 budget for AIDS medicine and services through the recently renewed Ryan White CARE Act, which distributes the money to states.
"It is woefully duplicitous for the president to have signed The Ryan White Care Act into law in December and then fail to allocate sufficient funding to meet the growing need in our country," says Rebecca Haag, executive director of the AIDS Action Council. "We have said from the start, and it remains true today, that more money is needed; the needle is pointing in the wrong direction, and lives of people in this country are at stake."
The lives of the people in South Carolina were in the spotlight on Tues., Feb. 20, as members of the AIDS drug taskforce called on the legislature to approve the $5 million budget requested for the drug program, as well as $3 million for other support services, including testing and transportation.
Last week, the legislature excitedly approved more than $130 million for the new port road, $23 million for school buses, $3.7 million for ice storm repairs, $3 million in airplane hangar repairs, and $4 million for a regional water plant.
All of these projects are important for one reason or another, but will the legislature work so efficiently to find the money for the AIDS drug program? Not surprisingly, we'll have to wait and see.


The cinnamon Pastel Ball Python is another great example of a solid investment snake. Cinnamon Pastel is a CO-dominant mutation; it has a Super form. This Super Cinnamon Pastel is a solid dark brown nearly black patternless snake.Cinnamon pastel ball pythons are lacking the yellow, gold and black coloring of normal Ball Pythons. They are shades of brown with a white belly. The Cinnamon Pastel gets darker as it matures as with most morphs. The colors becomes much more subtle and becomes two shade of brown. There endless possibilities with crossing this Morph. One example of this are the Pewter Pastels, absolutely stunning! Other variations of this mutation are being called Black Pastels and Red Axanthics.
The Cinnamon is the second signature mutation produced at Graziani Reptiles. In 1997 Greg picked up an odd Ball Python from Strickly Reptiles in Hollywood Florida. This proved to be an amazing find later to be known as the Cinnamon Pastel. Graziani Reptiles proved him to be genetic in the summer of 2002 when they bred their wild caught Cinnamon Pastel male to Three wild caught females. All three of the females laid eggs and out of 18 eggs that hatched 8 were Cinnamon Pastels. This proved the mutation to be dominant. Graziani Reptiles In 2003 bred their Cinnamon Pastel male to a Pastel Jungle female and produced the first Pewter Pastels.
Chris McQuade and Brian Barczyk have produced what is believed to be Super Cinnamons (the homozygous form of Cinnamon Pastel). The super form of the Cinnamon is a solid black ball python with a white belly.

Musings On Music History: In Which We Are Joined By A Crow, A Rollins, And A Gabriel
Musings On Music History: In…
02.11: Michael Jackson's best backup singer of all time was born on this day in 1962. Know who it is? We'll give you a hint. Her last name is a type of bird. Gloria Eagle? Nope. Janice Dove? Nope. Cynthia Peacock? Not even close. Okay, one more hint. Her first hit song was called "All I Wanna Do." That's right, Sheryl Crow! Anyhoo, Ms."Former-Lance-Amrstrong's-Girlfriend-Now-They're-Just-Friends" Crow started her music career a little later than most, at least in this day and age, but didn't look back once it began to pick up momentum. Yes, she toured with Michael Jackson (yes, that's her in the photo) as a backup singer on his Bad World Tour, and, yes, she was a music teacher, jingle writer, and sang for the best cop musical television show ever (Cop Rock, duh!), but once she got going, all of those things became ancient history. We dig on Sheryl because not only does she rock and look hot doing it, but she's worked really hard to get where she is today. And worked really hard at having fun. But mostly rocking and being hot. Happy birthday, Sheryl!
02.13: What a year, 1961. For Henry Rollins, at least. You see, that year saw Henry Lawrence Garfield take his first breath, and music gained a unique individual. Well, it took a good twenty years for this unique individual to make his mark, but believe us, he definitely did. Rollins joined California punk pioneers Black Flag, who'd gone through a steady stream of singers in its already-four-year career before Rollins joined the band for an impromptu song at one of their shows in New York. In Rollins, who was a huge fan of the group prior to his singing duties (ha, we said duties), they found an intense poetic sensibility uncommon in punk and the stage demeanor of a caged animal, pacing back and forth, waiting to pounce as soon as the music charged up behind him. From 1981 to 1986, Rollins stint in Black Flag tore through every bar, club, and theater they entered, sometimes ending with Henry in a fistfight with one or more audience members. Did we mention he was intense? After Black Flag disbanded, Rollins leapt into a very diverse career, from publisher to actor, from author to activist. He formed his own band, Henry Rollins Band, which recorded and toured from 1987 through 2003, when Henry decided to concentrate on his spoken-word career. Huh, you say? Yeah, Henry's spoken-word routines kill. They are always a weird, amazingly vital and vitriolic hybrid of stand-up comedy and Shakespearian soliloquies, regaling his audiences with tales from the road and tales from the street. Henry Rollins is truly one of a kind. [more]
02.13: Okay, so, many of you kids out there may only know the group Genesis from Phil Collins' frontman stint (he was already the drummer) with the band, which proved very fruitful thanks to the monster pop hits "Invisible Touch" and "Land Of Confusion." And many of you may only know Peter Gabriel from his ubiquitous '80s video for "Sledghammer" (which is still pretty awesome, btw) or his catchy chorus to "Shock The Monkey," but his music-life goes back much further than that. So, let's hop in the Way-Back Machine and go all the way back to 1967. That's right, rock children, the genesis of Genesis begins in the late '60s, as a group of young lads decided to join forces, forming a little pop band interested in playing simple, original music. Here's where we tie our ramblings together. Peter Gabriel helmed the vocal duties for this first incarnation of the band, taking them from a late '60s pop whatever to an early '70s prog-rock, theatrical, multi-media monster, complete with masks, props, and visual framing devices to accompany Gabriel's increasingly complex lyrics and song structures. Why do we bring this up today? Well, it's Pete's birthday, as, on this day in 1950, he joined us for the first jaunt on this journey's we call "life," and we just wanted to point out that Mr. Gabriel career is much more than goofy videos and is, indeed, attached to one of the most successful bands of all time. Nice work, Peter, and happy birthday, sir.
02.13: A prominent "outlaw country" performer left this world on this day in 2002, when Waylon Jennings died in his sleep from complications brought on by diabetes. What's "outlaw country," you ask? Think Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson and Hank Williams, Jr. Think rebellion against the white-washed "Nashville sound" that dominated country music through much of the '60s and '70s. Think long hair, jeans, raw lyrics about drinking, women, and bar fights (not necessarily in that order, but, often, that's the way it would go). Many credit Waylon with being the originator of the outlaw tag, with his album Ladies Love Outlaws in 1972. Though outlaw country was birthed in Texas and Oklahoma by local performers before Waylon got hold of the sound, it was the use of its tenants by Jennings and Nelson that pushed it into the world at large. At the time, Jennings also managed to wrangle of control of his music from the entrenched record company system that'd been in place for decades, which freed up the artistic process of making records and allowed other performers to write, produce, and record what they wanted, when they wanted. More rock attitude than traditional country, outlaw country and Jennings' work paved the way for many performers today, including Robert Earle Keen, Hank Williams III, Lucinda Williams, Jenning's son Shooter, and has given rise to "alternative country," which is more of a rebranding of "outlaw country" than a new genre unto itself. But that's just semantics, kids. We're here to sing the praises of Mr. Waylon Jennings, who escaped death on "The Day The Music Died" when he gave his seat on the ill-fated flight, which also killed Ritchie Valens and Buddy Holly (for whom Waylon played bass), to the flu-stricken Big Bopper, and went on to one of the biggest music careers in the latter-half of the 20th century. We miss him, but, as always, are insanely happy to go home tonight, crack open a beer, and listen to "Lonesome, On'ry and Mean."
02.15: One of the most amazingly smooth voices in music was silenced on this day in 1965, when Nat King Cole died from lung cancer, at the much-too-early age of 45. Not only did Cole sing on over 100 charting singles and more than 20 charting albums throughout his 20-year pop career, but he also led a venerable jazz trio, held dear by many jazz aficionados, during the late '30s and early '40s. His switch from jazz pianist to silken-voiced pop singer caused much consternation in the tight-knit jazz circles of the era, a time when jazz was coming off the high of the swing era and sliding back into the underground, as former swing era singers (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin) also abandoned their roots and headed into the wide-open waters of the pop world. Nat King Cole, however, was not a jazz singer, having cut his teeth in smoky jazz clubs, tickling 88 keys every night, years before he ever let a song escape from his lungs. His switch from jazz to pop was different than the singers who'd done the same because many considered him a leader in the transition from swing to small-band jazz to bebop. They felt his abandonment of that world a slap in the face, but Nat's success in the world of pop and popular culture proved he was meant for much greater things. From his hit singles to his hit radio and television show, Cole showed Americans a man who transcended the racial divides of the time, showed Americans that people can live in the same neighborhoods, can perform together, can sit and watch a singer together, no matter the color of their skin. Though, even then, he was criticized by some in the civil rights movement for not doing enough for the cause, for not throwing his weight around as much as they perceived he could have. It seems no matter what he did, someone would find a way to criticize his actions. All we know is that this is both a sad and a happy day. As always, we are sad to remember someone on the day of their death, but we are happy for what they've left behind. And Nat King Cole left an amazing legacy. Do some research. Explore his catalog. You will not be disappointed. Nat King Cole is truly unforgettable.
02.16: One of the godfathers of gangsta rap joined us on this day in 1959, when Tracy Lauren Marrow, better known to us as Ice-T, was born in Newark, NJ. Yeah, you read that right. Ice isn't a South Central native, but that doesn't make his depictions of life on those streets any less important. He moved to Los Angeles in 7th grade, after his father passed away and three years after his mother had also passed away. Things just got worse when he moved in with an aunt in southern California, as she intended to provide him with structure, whether he wanted it or not. This, of course, didn't go down too well with Ice, who'd been without much parental guidance for quite a while. He rebelled and found inspiration in the burgeoning California rap scene, as well as the writings of Iceberg Slim, a pimp turned author. After a stint in the Army, Ice-T continued his pursuit of a career in rap, turning his experiences on the streets of South Central and his love of Iceberg Slim's rough and sobering stories of hustlers and pimps into his own tales of modern gangsters and street violence. That he walked the line between brilliant social commentary and exploitation isn't lost on us, but we love Ice-T for just being his own man. And for "Colors". Whether he is acting on Law and Order: SVU or fronting Body Count (his metal band) or putting out one of the best gangsta rap albums of all time, Power, Ice has always done what he feels like doing and it don't get much more rock 'n' roll than that.

I have liberal friends. They are misguided, they are wrong. I disagree with them. I don't want them to vote. I want them to go on vacation in November.
I definitely used to lie about my age. I'm from Tennessee and everyone would vacation in Destin, Florida, where there are lots of cute guys. I would go with my older sister and lie about my age to them.
I was on vacation with my family when I got the scripts for 'Wanderlust' and I was trying to work on the audition while I was on vacation. I remember a big gust of wind blew the entire script into the pool, so I had to dry it with a hairdryer.
'Cliffhanger' got me in the best shape of my life, working at 10,000 feet up in the mountains. And everybody was great. I lived in Italy for seven months doing that movie. It was a great vacation.
New York is like a vacation – no beach required.
I'd come out to Los Angeles for a vacation to see a friend and just fell in love with it.
I'm not happy on vacation. In those rare times when I have three hours with no work I have to do, I'm terribly uncomfortable.
Every Vacation movie didn't just make the studio money. They each made the studio a lot of money.


The image is very misleading. This is why many people are breaking their connectors. Please correct this and make it VERY clear that one has to put the spudger straight behind the cables, NOT behind the connector, as shown in the pic.

Abdi Nor Iftin
Former Somali refugee and author of Call Me American
Abdi Nor Iftin tells the true story of immigrating to America via luck and perseverance: as a Somali refugee, he won entrance to the US in an annual lottery, then risked his life to reach his new home. A natural storyteller, he shared dispatches from his journey from Somalia to Kenya to America on the BBC World Service and "This American Life." Now a proud US resident on the path to citizenship, Abdi Nor Iftin offers a vivid reminder of why democracies still beckon to those looking to make a better life, and questions what it means to be an American.
About Abdi Nor Iftin
Growing up in Somalia, Abdi Nor Iftin was known as "Abdi American." He fell in love with the United States from afar, teaching himself English by watching movies like The Terminator and listening to Michael Jackson. He cheered the arrival of US Marines in Mogadishu, wore American clothes, and learned American dance moves. But when the radical Islamist group Al-Shabaab rose to power in 2006, Iftin's celebration of Western culture made him a target. He turned to his language skills to make a living, sending secret dispatches from Somalia to NPR, and gaining a worldwide following through his broadcasts. Eventually, he was forced to flee Somalia to Kenya as a refugee.
In Kenya, Iftin had the incredible luck to win entrance to the US in an annual visa lottery. He risked his life in order to get the required documents from the US Embassy and made his escape as his fellow Somali refugees in Kenya were being attacked. Throughout, he shared stories from refugee life on the BBC World Service and "This American Life," providing updates on his home, family, and status. Now a proud resident of Maine on the path to citizenship, Iftin shares his dramatic, deeply stirring story with audiences across the nation. From intimate glimpses into the immigrant experience to timely talks on refugee rights, Iftin encourages audiences to consider new perspectives and redefine their notions of what it means to be American.
Iftin's work has been featured on the BBC and "This American Life," and in The Washington Post. His new memoir, Call Me American, was published in June 2018. Iftin was recently accepted to the University of Southern Maine, where he will be studying political science. He currently lives in Portland, Maine, where he works as an interpreter for Somali immigrants.
Call Me American
In this deeply moving talk, Abdi Nor Iftin chronicles his incredible journey from Somali refugee to American resident. A natural storyteller, he describes his numerous harrowing escapes after being first targeted in Somalia for his love of America, and then in Kenya for his refugee status. In a story that captivates audiences, Iftin questions why the world stays silent in the face of atrocity, and what it means to be an American.

Praise for Abdi Nor Iftin
Abdi's presentation was fantastic. We've heard nothing but good things from our students…Abdi does have such a comfortable, natural style and the audience really felt connected to him. He fields questions from students as though it is the first time he was ever asked. That's a gift.
— Illinois College
The event was AMAZING. Despite being virtual, I think we still managed to pull off a really meaningful event. We received several notes last night that they were touched by Abdi's story, his perspective of being a new American, and were genuinely floored by his ability to speak so eloquently. As always, it was a pleasure to work with Penguin Random House.
— Epstein Hillel School
Abdi was wonderful! He was smart and funny, generous and thought-provoking, utterly lovable, an absolute delight.
— Canisius College
Our event with Abdi was a huge success. His speech captivated the audience, and then he very kindly stayed to sign many books and talk with the people at the event. He has a lot of new fans! He is such an amazing person, and I feel lucky that we were able to hear him tell his story in person. I can't wait for his next book!

Praise for Call Me American (Adapted for Young Adults)
This remarkable, nuanced story facilitates a deeper understanding of immigration today. A triumphant memoir that offers hope for Somalia's and, indeed, America's futures.
An absolutely stunning survival story that is beautifully and vividly written…. Simply a terrific read.
Young Abdi is a tremendously appealing figure in his desire to enjoy music and movies and find an alternative to the only choices Somalia offers him…. The narrative is genuinely suspenseful.
— The Bulletin, Starred Review
Praise for Call Me American
A searing memoir…that impressively remains upbeat, highly inspiring, and always educational.
— Kirkus (starred review)
[A] wrenching yet hopeful autobiography… Iftin's extraordinary saga is not just a journey of self-advancement but a quest to break free from ethnic and sectarian hatreds.
— Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Absolutely remarkable and always as compelling as a novel… An essential ur-immigrant story, one that is enlightening and immediate.
— Booklist (starred review)
Riveting… [Abdi Nor Iftin] had to endure famine, war, a precarious life as a refugee, and a visa-rejecting bureaucracy before a green-card lottery win, in 2014, enabled him to emigrate. His narrative is both panoramic and particular, full of irreverent asides, and suffused with appreciation for the humanity of others.
— The New Yorker

GDC Remains Exclusive Digital Cinema Server Provider for Southern Theatres' Upcoming Deployment
GDC Technology ("GDC"), a world leading digital cinema solution provider, is pleased to announce today the signing of a repeat order with partner Southern Theatres, LLC., the management company for VSS-Southern Theatres.
The contract will see the deployment of a total of 198 units of GDC SX-2000A Digital Cinema Servers with Integrated Media Block (IMB) at 20 sites across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas. To date 51 units have already been deployed in 2010 and the remaining 198 units will be installed this year, commencing in April 2011 and completing by year-end.
A number of parties are joining forces to undertake this project. GDC will retain it's role as the exclusive server provider, while Ballantyne Strong will supply NEC Series 2 DLP Digital Cinema® Projectorsand will be responsible for providing the servers and projectors to Southern. Cinedigm (NADAQ: CIDM), the global leader in digital cinema conversion programs, is responsible for structuring and implementing the underlying VPF agreement that enables Southern's conversion to digital cinema, as well as providing the entire administration responsibility of the VPF program for Southern.
Launched in May 2002, Southern Theatres operates state-of-the-art multiplexes with stadium-seating, in 20 locations and totaling 292 screens. GDC servers were first deployed in Southern Theatres in May 2010. Following the successful deployment, Southern Theatres has decided to stick to GDC servers for its next phase of deployment, opting for GDC's latest SX-2000A server incorporated with Integrated Media Block (IMB). The cutting-edge IMB has recently been awarded the industry's first FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security certification, one of the highest level security requirements specified by Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI). GDC's IMB offers the unique advantage of allowing for a much fuller color spectrum which is 500 times richer than that of a legacy server when screening 3D movies; overall the IMB is a state-of-the-art digital cinema accomplishment that is 4K future proof.
"The number of new entertainment avenues added to Southern Theatres is rising fast as we enter into our next phase of digital deployment, and we require reliable and feature-rich products to cater to the needs of our business growth," said George Solomon, CEO of Southern Theatres, LLC. "Having worked with GDC in the past, we know our high expectations will always be met and we can rest assured that whatever they promised, they will deliver."
"We are heartened to see Southern Theatres stick to GDC and take advantage of our server upgrade to the SX-2000A with IMB model," said Dr. Man-Nang Chong, founder and CEO of GDC Technology. "I am confident that patrons of Southern Theatres will be thoroughly impressed with the stunning 3D colour richness brought about by our IMB. We will continue to work hard to bring the best in digital cinema to our customers to make sure their patrons will always enjoy the richest possible cinematic experience."

Looks like Japan has yet again created another unusual snack and this time it comes from world renown fast food franchise McDonald's. Last week pictures of the McDonald's McChoco Potato, chocolate covered fries, has sprung on the internet. We all had that question: Why?
McDonald only has this to say: "The combination creates a wonderful salty and sweet harmonious taste,"
The McChoco Potato consists of French fries served with white chocolate and cacao-flavored sauces. It was just this week, January 26, that the concoction was available on the Japan McDonald's menu.
Turns out people are actually enjoying it. As seen in thevideo below, popular food vlogger Yuka Kinoshita, known as the "Gluttonous Beauty", enjoys not just one but 6 McChoco Potato.
The McChoco Potato is priced at ¥330($2.77) and is exclusively available to McDonald's Japan chain of stores.
What do you think about this new food combination McDonald's Japan is dishing out. The only question now is, what will they think of next? Tell us what you think, by commenting below.
Why are you even posting about this. Isn't this a toku site????? Are you trying to be a low quality RocketNews24 ????
Yeah, let's keep this site about toku, please.
Thought I don't like this post since this is a tokusatsu related die, I have to say no thanks, I rather eat fries with cheesy wedges and sauce, thank you.
@Anon1: Jesus man, chill. This is a JAPANESE ENTERTAINMENT website, since when did GekiDan made it "Tokusatsu exclusive"? Dayum man, it's actually a great move for the writers, they go in with what ever is happening in Japan. Give 'em some slack.
@Anon2: I understand your sentiments but hey, times are changing fast. So is our favorite site. We should welcome these changes instead of closing our doors. Good day, man!
