Brace your­selves, what follows is an amaz­ingly long blog post about the best order in which to watch Star Wars.

First, let me say this: for people that couldn't care less about the prequel trilogy, I suggest Harmy's De­spe­cial­ized Edi­tions. They are 720p videos that are the result of "Harmy" from The Orig­i­nal Trilogy forums painstak­ingly re­con­struct­ing the the­atri­cal re­leases of all three films uti­liz­ing a wide variety of video sources as well as custom mattes. Down­load­ing, burning, la­bel­ing, and print­ing cases for these films is one of the neck­beardi­est things I've done (aside from writing this blog post), and I'm ex­tremely glad I did it.

If the "proper order" for Star Wars for you is the orig­i­nal trilogy and nothing else, stop reading now and find the De­spe­cial­ized Edi­tions. So, with that out of the way, what can you do if you do wish to involve the prequel trilogy? There are two obvious options for watch­ing the Star Wars saga. What Gets Removed? Darth Vaders Voice Before Voice Over. The Phantom Edit. The VHS cover Star Wars Episode I.I: The Phantom Edit is a fan edit of the film Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, removing many elements of the original film.

The purpose of the edit, according to creator Mike J. Nichols, was to make a much stronger version of The Phantom Menace based on the previous execution and philosophies of film storytelling and editing of George Lucas.[1] The Phantom Edit was the first unauthorized re-edit of The Phantom Menace to receive major publicity and acclaim.[2] History[edit] The Phantom Edit was originally circulated in Hollywood studios in 2000 and 2001, and was followed by media attention. Rumor attributed The Phantom Edit to Kevin Smith, who admitted to having seen the re-edit but denied that he was the editor. Lucasfilm, the production company of series creator George Lucas, appeared to tacitly approve of the edit.[8] Changes[edit] Changes made from the original film in The Phantom Edit Reviews[edit] The 2010 documentary film The People vs. JavaScript. JavaScript is classified as a prototype-based scripting language with dynamic typing and first-class functions.

This mix of features makes it a multi-paradigm language, supporting object-oriented,[6] imperative, and functional[1][7] programming styles. JavaScript has been standardized in the ECMAScript language specification. History[edit] Beginnings at Netscape[edit] JavaScript was originally developed by Brendan Eich, while working for Netscape Communications Corporation. While competing with Microsoft for user adoption of web technologies and platforms, Netscape considered their client-server offering a distributed OS with a portable version of Sun Microsystems' Java providing an environment in which applets could be run. The change of name from LiveScript to JavaScript roughly coincided with Netscape adding support for Java technology in its Netscape Navigator web browser.

There’s no getting around it. In this world, you’re better off being good-looking. At all ages and in all walks of life, attractive people are judged more favorably, treated better, and cut more slack.

Mothers give more affection to attractive babies. Teachers favor more attractive students and judge them as smarter. Attractive adults get paid more for their work and have better success in dating and mating. And juries are less likely to find attractive people guilty and recommend lighter punishments when they do. Many factors can play into personal attractiveness — the way you dress, the way you act, the way you carry yourself, even things that are hard or impossible to change, like social status and wealth, race, and body size and shape.

The brain is such a good beauty detector, in fact, that it can judge the appeal of a face before you’re aware you’ve even seen one.

There may be a reason you can’t figure out some of those math problems in your son or daughter’s math text and it might have nothing at all to do with you. That math homework you're trying to help your child muddle through might include problems with no possible solution. It could be that key information or steps are missing, that the problem involves a concept your child hasn’t yet been introduced to, or that the math problem is structurally unsound for a host of other reasons. I have worked for over 20 years in educational publishing as a product developer, writer, and editor of curriculum materials for grades K-8.

I’ve worked directly for textbook publishers and supplemental publishers (supplemental being those books that are adjuncts to the text), start-ups and large publishing houses. Best of all, I was able to feel proud of those books to which my name was attached. At one time, a writer in this industry could write a book and receive roughly 6% royalties on sales.

The only person who loves Andressa Soares’s butt more than Brazil’s sun-soaked masses and us is Andressa Soares. She’s really into it. And for good reason: Her ass has catapulted the charming Rio-born girl from bit parts in music videos into the pop-star spotlight as the overendowed Watermelon Woman.

Devoted fans now flock to her concerts, paparazzi stalk her every move, and crazed men and woman paw at her whenever they are able. In case you’re wondering why all the fuss in a country with thousands upon thousands of similarly impressive posteriors: Watermelon Woman’s ass measures a formidable 46 inches around and she can’t stop shaking it, even when she tries to. Vice: Oi, querida!

Grand Theft Auto III Main Theme "One of the most influential and successful games ever made.

" ―The New York Times Grand Theft Auto III, also known as GTA 3 or GTA III, is the third installment of the Grand Theft Auto series and was released in 2001. The game is the first of the 3D Universe and introduced many new features and increased the fan base of the series. It was originally released on the PlayStation 2, PC, and Xbox. GTA III is the first foray into true three-dimensional GTA gameplay, with the player taking control of the game via a third-person perspective, viewed from behind and above the player character, as opposed to the Top-Down Perspective in the earlier Grand Theft Auto 1 and Grand Theft Auto 2 games.

The changes made for GTA III marked a defining point in the series' graphical representation and control scheme. The game was met with an outstanding universal critical acclaim, becoming one of the highest rated video games in history. Storyline From the official site City Sales.

The Obama adminsitration on Thursday proposed an overhaul of online privacy rules and regulations, Politico reported. "The framework for a new privacy code moves electronic commerce closer to a one-click, one-touch process by which users can tell Internet companies whether they want their online activity tracked," The New York Times said. The seven point "bill of rights" calls for "individual control, transparency, respect for context, security, access and accuracy, focused collection, and accountability. " Full details of the plan can be read at the White House website.

In the full proposal unveiled on the White House website, Obama introduces the proposal by noting that privacy is a constitutionally-protected right that was extended over the postal service, telephone communication, and eventually email.

Tabs don't have to be horizontal but they usually are so our first step is going to be to create a horizontal list, as already explained above. We're going to try a few different things here with CSS, but we'll be sticking with the following basic HTML structure: <div id="header"><h1>Tabs</h1><ul><li><a href="#">This</a></li><li id="selected"><a href="#">That</a></li><li><a href="#">The Other</a></li><li><a href="#">Banana</a></li></ul></div><div id="content"><p>Ispum schmipsum.

</p></div> Basically, what we want to do with this HTML is turn each list item into a tab, with the selected item appearing to be part of the corresponding content area. First of all, we can rip out the list item markers and zero the margin and padding of the ul element: Now to get down to business... Inline list-items The first thing we can do is make the list horizontal with the most straight-forward solution-by setting the display property of the li elements to inline: But there's one essential thing missing.

Streetlight Manifesto Proudly Boycotts Itself : Music. STREETLIGHT MANIFESTO. Hello all For the sake of keeping things emotion-free and legal, we’ll cut straight to the chase and forgo the insults and accusations: It is and has been for quite some time our position that Victory Records is an artist-hostile, morally corrupt and generally dishonest company, with whom we have had the displeasure of being associated due to a contract that was signed years ago. We’re not writing this today to air grievances, of which there are many; numerous bands’ struggles with Victory are well-documented (and many more are sealed by a court of law), so we figured we’re going to skip the allegations and try to solve the problem, as we see it. We’re writing today to ask you to please boycott all Streetlight related items by not purchasing any of our records or merchandise from Victory’s website, any traditional CD stores, online third party retailers or any digital distribution service (iTunes, Amazon etc).

Image copyright Other We often worry about lying awake in the middle of the night - but it could be good for you. A growing body of evidence from both science and history suggests that the eight-hour sleep may be unnatural.

In the early 1990s, psychiatrist Thomas Wehr conducted an experiment in which a group of people were plunged into darkness for 14 hours every day for a month. It took some time for their sleep to regulate but by the fourth week the subjects had settled into a very distinct sleeping pattern. They slept first for four hours, then woke for one or two hours before falling into a second four-hour sleep. Though sleep scientists were impressed by the study, among the general public the idea that we must sleep for eight consecutive hours persists. In 2001, historian Roger Ekirch of Virginia Tech published a seminal paper, drawn from 16 years of research, revealing a wealth of historical evidence that humans used to sleep in two distinct chunks.

New Type of Alien Planet Is a Steamy 'Waterworld' Scientists have discovered a new type of alien planet — a steamy waterworld that is larger than Earth but smaller than Uranus. The standard-bearer for this new class of exoplanet is called GJ 1214b, which astronomers first discovered in December 2009.

New observations by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope suggest that GJ 1214b is a watery world enshrouded by a thick, steamy atmosphere. "GJ 1214b is like no planet we know of," study lead author Zachory Berta of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass., said in a statement. "A huge fraction of its mass is made up of water. " Adding to the diversity To date, astronomers have discovered more than 700 planets beyond our solar system, with about 2,300 more "candidates" awaiting confirmation by follow-up observations. These alien planets are a diverse bunch.

But GJ 1214b, which is located 40 light-years from Earth in the constellation Ophiuchus (The Serpent Bearer), is something new altogether, researchers said. A watery world. FOAR POCKY FRUM BOXXY. Why Universities Are Building Superefficient Power Plants : energy. Why Universities Are Building Superefficient Power Plants - Environment. James Merrihue takes me through a pair of gray double doors from the sleek halls of New York University’s Stern School of Business, and immediately it’s warmer. Most students probably walk by these doors every day without considering what’s behind them. But when I follow Merrihue through a series of doors and hallways and down a flight of stairs, we reach a cavernous, steaming hot room, the length of a city block, where a system of turbines, generators, heat exchangers, and chillers provides electricity, heat, and hot and cold water for dozens of campus buildings.

This system lives just below ground, a block off Washington Square Park, underneath a pleasant walkway spotted with local grasses and benches. If you sit and listen quietly, you can hear the noise of the turbines spinning at 13,000 revolutions per minute below. Once, the university created energy in this spot by burning oil. In that plant, you could smell the diesel exhaust fumes, Merrihue, the plant manager, tells me. Howard Stern rips on Deadmau5, Guetta and more.
