Rebooting Your Viewing Habit

Now here's an interesting cartoon, not only for the kids, but also for the young at heart. Reboot is one really fascinating series, as it combined a rather interesting concept with nice visuals. And with as good dose of humor too.

Reboot follows the the exploits of a fictional world that resides inside a computer system. The world is known as Mainframe, and the citizens must battle in the “Game Cubes” in order to save parts of the city from being destroyed. Most of the series focuses on the adventures of Bob and his groups of sprites. Later seasons shifted the story to the characters Enzo and AndrAIa (that's actually how they spell it).

Reboot is very interesting in that it was the very first cartoon to employ full 3D computer graphics for the entire show. Though not really astounding by current standards, the series' bold decision to use 3D instead of traditional 2D animation was a definite step in introducing CGI (computer generated imagery) to mainstream cartoons, which have become very popular nowadays. There was also a great improvement in graphics and design in later seasons, which resulted in better animation.

Aside from the visuals, another great thing about this series is its story. While the episodes of the first season were targeted more to younger kids, with flashy colors and action sequences and with single episode stories. Later seasons would become darker and more oriented to older ones and teenagers. The character designs were redone to match the new style. The later seasons also saw more character development, as it focused on the maturity of both Enzo and AndrAIa.

Humor is very much a staple in the series. True to the computer theme evident in the series (the title Reboot itself is a term for restarting a computer), the show abounds in computer related in jokes and gags. Almost all of the citizens of Mainframe are name after a computer term or something related to it.

The series also abounds in parodies of popular culture. The 'games' that are featured in the game cubes shown in each episode contains a host of other characters that are takes from various films, games and TV shows. It would be very amusing to find out the homages when watching the Reboot DVD.

Perhaps the most interesting sets of jokes on the show are those poking fun on the network censorship that plagued the series during its run. Most of the jokes are in the form witty dialogs and catch phrases. There are some instances that these are in the form of gags that show the apparent absurdity or otherwise nonsensical nature of many restrictions placed on them.

So if you are on an online DVD shop looking for something good to watch, the Reboot DVD is definitely a must to get. Even if it's a cartoon, you'll definitely like it.

Lain lagi dengan Bella Saphira yang mengungkapkan kebanggaannya tentang peran perdananya di layar lebar. “Saya bangga banget dengan peran ini, karena selain bekerja sama dengan sutradara yang mempunyai ide-ide lucu yang beda, peran saya ini mempunyai kewajiban moril sebagai seorang ibu kepada anaknya," ujarnya serius.

Para pemain yang kompak berpakaian hitam hari itu tampak terlihat sumringah, karena Arisan Brondong banyak mendapat pujian dari para wartawan sebagai film yang menghibur dan jauh dari unsur esek-esek. “Kami dari Maxima selalu mencoba untuk memberikan yang terbaik, dan film ini adalah bagian dari perjalanan karya kami,” ujar Ody Mulya Hidayat selaku produser film Arisan Brondong.

Way To Recover from Bad Credit Credit Cards

We have all been there and thought that we saw the light at the end of the tunnel and then it turned out to be bad credit credit cards. If you are like one of the millions struggling with bad credit and have looked for ways to help recover your credit and then were again hit with the blow that you just lowered your score again by trying to fix it, then here is a way to help. There are companies that will help people recover and not take advantage like some bad credit credit cards companies do.

A quick fix is not something that you will get from a credit card if you are trying to fix your credit. As a matter of fact, there are no quick fixes at all in recovery. It can be a very slow process but just know to stay away from the companies that offer you protection and immediate relief from your debt. Admit that it took you a long time to get to this point and it may take you a long time to get out.

Look for companies that will honestly take a look at your interest for their business as a way to rebuild what bad credit credit cards have done to your past. Look for companies that know the pitfalls and can keep you away from making the past mistakes. Sure, you want the highest limits on a card, but go for one that will not give you the highest limits and it will make you work up to that goal. At this point having a credit card company that is looking out for you and giving you another shot at the credit card experience is worth a low limit to test the waters.

Honest ways to rebuild your credit is the way to go in this economy where bad credit credit cards have caused a lot of people to take on a lot of debt. Read the fine print especially when it comes to your credit score. Know the interest rates and the possible implications of a late payment before you subject your credit to any more possible detrimental damage and only apply for one or two credit cards to keep your information and spending to a minimum.

Owners And Designers

The selection of structural steel for a building’s support system results in numerous benefits to a project. Major benefits include – speed of construction, better design flexibility and lower project costs.

Speed of Construction:
Structural steel improves construction productivity because of its shop fabrication while sustaining stringent construction tolerances. Field placed material will always trail behind the productivity curve. Productivity improvements for construction will not take place in labor based field activities, but in shop based technology improvements.

Today’s rapid innovation in technology in the form of Building Information Modeling and 3D interoperability allow close coordination between contractors and designers in the design, fabrication and erection of steel structures. This facilitates savings in both cost and time by integrating fabricating and erection efficiencies in the design and passing design models among detailing, analysis and fabricating processes. Other construction materials may be able to commence field work earlier, but the rapid design, fabrication and erection cycle with structural steel will facilitate speedy implementation of framing system.

Better Design Flexibility:

From the easy, functional structure to the complex design structural steel can be readily used to achieve design goals of structural engineer and architects. No other framing material can come closer to structural steel when you want freedom of expression and design creativity.

Lower Project Costs:

Today, structural steel remains widely accepted the cost effective option for the majority of construction projects. Comparative studies suggest that a structural steel framing system including fire protection and decking will normally cost 5% to 7% less than a concrete framing system on an analytical basis.

According to industry data the cost for fabricated structural steel prices for commercial uses has increased 62% from their base date of 1980. On the contrary, ready-mix concrete prices have escalated 114% during the same period. Why the disparity? In 1980, 10 man-hours were needed to manufacture a single ton of steel. Today one ton of structural steel requires substantially less than a single man-hour! The end result is that the structural steel has remained the cost leader for construction materials over the past 25 years.

About Film My Name is Khan

MY NAME IS KHAN | Film My Name is Khan Movie Sinopsis trailer Video - is the best film in the decade. The first: B.C. [before Christ] and A.D. [after death] are designations used to label years in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. There's a third designation now - 9/11. Post September 11, the world stands divided. Terrorist outfits continue to strike in the name of religion and the common man, not even remotely associated with these groups, is bearing the brunt. The world is not a safe place anymore.


* The second statement: There're two sets of people in this world - the good and the bad. No matter how strong the evil forces are, good always triumphs.

My Name Is Khan mirrors the era we live in. Not a day goes by when you haven't heard/read/watched news of terror attacks and innocents being killed. We live in turbulent times. Also, the movie states - and states very strongly, without mincing words - Not all Muslims are terrorists.

Karan Johar's cinema got more real from Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna onwards. In My Name Is Khan, the storyteller attempts to make a social statement and succeeds completely. At the same time, it takes no sides. If the protagonist says 'My Name Is Khan and I am not a terrorist', it also exposes those who misadvise the youth with inflammatory and rabble-rousing speeches.

Karan's take on the issue deserves the highest praise, since a subject like this is difficult to attempt. Final word? My Name Is Khan is Karan, SRK and Kajol's best outing to date. Do I need to add anything more?

Rizvan Khan [Shah Rukh Khan moves to San Francisco and lives with his brother [Jimmy Shergill] and sister-in-law [Sonya Jehan]. Rizvan, who has Asperger's syndrome, falls in love with Mandira [Kajol]. Despite protests from his brother, they get married and start a small business together. They are happy until September 11, when attitudes towards Muslims undergo a sea-change.

When tragedy strikes, Mandira is devastated and they split. Rizvan is confused and upset that the love of his life has left him. To win her back, he embarks on a touching and inspiring journey across America.

Let me alert you. The story unfolds feverishly from the very start itself. So if you miss a scene or two, chances are you would've missed some vital links in the story. The fact is, there's too much happening in the first half. Although the narrative tends to get leisurely-paced at times, the wheels continue to move from one episode to another.

A number of sequences are endearing. For instance, the romance between SRK and Kajol is subtle, yet charming. But it's SRK's relationship with Kajol and their kid that's one of the best parts of the movie. Your heart bleeds when an accident occurs and their lives are torn apart. Kajol's outburst - first, when her son meets with a catastrophe and second, when she confronts SRK - are truly shattering.

My Name Is Khan's strength lies in the fact that you root for Khan all through. At the same time, you are weighed down when he's in a vulnerable situation, especially when he's labelled a terrorist and thrown behind bars. You don't realize it, but the fact is that you, as a spectator, have already got entwined in Rizvan and Mandira's lives.

There's a slight hitch in the second hour, when SRK returns to Georgia to save a hurricane-ravaged hamlet. Also, the media exercise tends to add to the length of the film. Nonetheless, it's a minor hiccup that doesn't rob the film of its punch.

There's just one word to illustrate Karan's direction - exemplary. One of the finest storytellers of our generation, he deserves brownie points for deviating from 'Karan Johar brand of cinema' and attempting a film that knocks on your heart and stimulates your mind. With My Name Is Khan, Karan takes rapid strides as a storyteller.

Shibani Bathija's screenplay is truly arresting. Shibani and Niranjan Iyengar's dialogues are noteworthy and at times, applaud-worthy. Ravi K. Chandran's cinematography is awe-inspiring. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's music gels well with the nature of the film.

When a film stars two of the finest talents of the country, you expect nothing but the best. SRK, well, how does one describe his performance? To state that this is his best work so far would be cutting short the praise he truly deserves. In fact, no amount of praise can do sufficient justice to his portrayal of Rizvan Khan, who has Asperger's syndrome. His latest work is several notches above anything he has done before. The only compliment that I can think of is, SRK has a new screen-name now. Raj is passe, Rizvan it is.

Kajol is pure dynamite and casting her for this character was the most appropriate decision. No other actress could've matched SRK in histrionics the way Kajol has. In fact, SRK and Kajol compliment each other wonderfully well and this film only proves it yet again. It's a powerhouse performance from this supremely talented actress.

The film boasts of a number of capable actors, but the ones who leave a rock-solid impact are - in this order - Zarina Wahab, Sonya Jehan, Jimmy Shergill, Arjun Mathur, Parvin Dabas and Arif Zakaria. Sugandha Garg is confident. Navneet Nishan supports well. Vinay Pathak leaves a mark in a brief role. Tanay Chheda [young SRK] and Yuvaan Makaar [SRK and Kajol's son Sameer] are excellent. The American actors, especially the kid who plays Sameer's friend, deserves mention.

On the whole, My Name Is Khan is a fascinating love story, has an angle of religion and a world-shaking incident as a backdrop. It not only entertains, but also mesmerises, enthrals and captivates the viewer in those 2.40 hours. At the same time, a film like My Name Is Khan is sure to have a far-reaching influence due to its noble theme. I strongly advocate, don't miss this one!
