Doctor Who today is more popular than ever before, but what about its history? The second Doctor, Patrick Troughton broke new ground back in the mid 1960s when he had to take over from William Hartnell, the first Doctor.
It’s hard to imagine today what the reaction must have been when the main character of the popular show transformed in front of their eyes into a different person, but Troughton was the right one to cast and the show continued for another twenty years. Doctor Who fans everywhere can be happy with the new success of the revived series, but it was the work of the first and second Doctor who set the stage for everything that came later.

The international movie awards (Berlinale) take place every year in the German capital Berlin. They are in the so called A-category. In that category there are movie festivals with international competitiveness. There are the movie events in Cannes or the World Film Festival in Montreal for example. There you can see the importance of the Berlinale.
An international jury decides on who will be awarded with the silver and golden bear. The Berlinale is the biggest audience festival of the world. Of course there are certain categories for the award. There is for example the category Hommage, which might be the most meaningful one. This award is for a special person and his work of a lifetime. Therefore, it is admired.
Within the category Generation only movies are awarded that are most interesting for children and youth. Therefore, there are 11 children that build the jury for that category.
In 1951 the Berlinale took place for the first time, in that time in summer. Since 1978 it takes place in February. The event has duration of 10 days and includes a large program. There are, among other things, 400 movies that are shown. Most of them are premieres of Europe or worldwide.
Furthermore, there is the so called Berlinale Talent Campus. This includes workshops with approximately 350 young talents who can discuss with experienced professionals. This is a great possibility to get advocated. In this year there were 349 young people from 90 countries participating in that program.
There is a chance to become nominated for movies that were produced within the last 12 months before the musical and that were not shown beyond their countries of origin.
Every year there are 20 films competing.
The Berlinale takes place in the Berlinale palace at Potsdamer Platz and several other cinemas.
Of course you can also buy some souvenirs of the Berlinale to keep it in long memory.
If you want to be here when the Berlinale takes place from 05.-15.02.2009 and if you maybe want to cross a celebrities way you should book your Unterkunft Berlin as soon as possible. A Ferienwohnung Berlin is highly advised since hotels are rapidly sold out for such an event.

The long-running British science fiction serial “Doctor Who” hit a milestone on Sunday November 23rd, 2008 — it’s 45th anniversary.
The show began in 1963 as an obscure, low-budget show airing in black and white in the UK, featuring a mysterious time traveler only known as “The Doctor”. The show went on to become an international cult favorite, running for an amazing 26 seasons until being put “on hiatus” in 1989.
For sixteen years.
The show returned in 2005, starring Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor, and became an immense hit in the UK and became more popular than ever around the world.
With a unique show concept — a main character who “regenerates” into a new body every few years, allowing a new actor to take on the role — the show has the real possibility of going on for another forty-five years after this Doctor Who 45th anniversary.
So maybe in 2053, future fans will be celebrating the 90th anniversary. I know I will, if I’m around.

Plasma TV’s. The most accepted preference for large flat-panel TVs, plasma screens can be as petite as three inches thick – indeed slender enough to be placed a wall. The display is utterly flat, so you can view the pictures from a wider position without causing a drop in sharpness. Plasma TV’s draw on a matrix of small gas plasma cells to display a crystal clear image.
LCD TV’s. Akin to plasma displays, LCD televisions are flat & classy, using a limited amount of area. Available in various dimensions, LCD TV’s provide higher resolution pictures than plasma screens. LCD televisions may be watched from an array of locations, but in comparison against plasma, there is evidence of a fall in quality.

What would you consider to be your dream job? I’m sure many people would say to not have a job at all, but rather a loaded bank account allowing them to do as they please. Fair enough! I can definitely see the appeal of that lifestyle. Unfortunately for most of us that’s not reality. As for me, my ideal position would be a successful career in film. Just to be clear, I’m not talking acting. I prefer something behind the scenes. I hope to be a screenwriter some day. Okay, I know what you’re thinking. The writers have no pull! This would be a fair assumption. In reality it’s the movie director and producers that call the shots. So which one of these is your dream job? I know you’ve thought about it. We all do!

With the choice of so many programming providers out there it can be difficult deciding on which is right for you and your family. Of course there are some basic factors that can alleviate this decision based on the type of viewing that is desired in your home.
In large cities such as Houston, Texas there are three major providers. These are Dish Network, Direct TV, and of course, Comcast. To be fair to all three there are distinct advantages to each.
For Comcast they tend to have less chance of signal loss during a major storm. However, when signal is lost due to a down or cut line, repair is longer to achieve. In addition pricing is somewhat higher than Direct or Dish. Quality of picture is also an issue, especially if the house is further on down the line as signal strength weakens. And of course, in February of 2009 all cable customers will need a box for each tv wanting service.
Direct TV like Dish has %100 digital programming unlike cable. Where Direct is possibly a better choice over the other two is in the area of NFL fans. Direct TV is the only provider to have the Sunday NFL Ticket where fans can watch all the games on Sunday. This service is usually an additional $300 or more in addition to the regular programming package fees. Also, unlike Dish, a receiver is needed for each tv.
Where Dish Network distinguishes themselves from Comcast and Direct TV is in their overall product. Dish has %100 digital programming, the NFL Network is in one of their lowest priced packages, each receiver is capable of operating two televisions instead of one, their regular pricing is lower than the rest, and signal loss is only on average two to five minutes in the rare occurrence signal is lost. In addition to the regular cd music available, Sirius Satellite music comes included with their mid to high level packaging at no extra cost. And, when it comes to High Definition programming (HDTV) Dish is the leader.

So the Cowboys lost to the Eagles and people are blaming it on Jessica Simpson? Do you really think Tony Romo had a bad game because she was wearing a pink and white Tony Romo Cowboys jersey? Get real. Tony R. is a professional and a damn good quarterback.
Remember, Jessica was at the Green Bay and NY Jets game. The Cowboys, and Tony Romo in particular, dominated that game. As quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys Tony Romo has put up numbers that Roger Staubach, Danny White and Troy Aikman never could.
Don’t doubt Tony Romo (Jessica Simpson doesn’t).

I recollect when reality TV shows were first starting up on television. Although I can’t remember exactly which shows were the first to air, I do however recall one of the very first ones I watched and that was Real World on MTV. Many years on my dear friend informed me that Real World was not as genuine as they needed you to think so. A lot of what was on the show was in actual fact staged and many of the people that featured on the show were indeed actors. I’m not sure if what she told me was true or not however to be perfectly honest with you, nothing would surprise me.

Are you a fan of the hit scifi show Battlestar Galactica? This remake of the classic show from the late 70’s is widely considered far superior to the first. The drama and plotlines are thick, gritty, and real. The cylons are evil and manipulating in a way that often makes you shiver.
You owe it to yourself to give the show a try if you havent seen it yet. Many people consider it the best drama currently on television. BSG is reaching its 4th season, and previous seasons are available online on DVD.
Are you a fan of the show? Take the Battlestar Galactica Quiz and see which character you are!

When I was growing up in the 80’s modern entertainment centers were simple: we had a television. Eventually in the mid-80’s we got one of the first front-loading VCRs and then the customary pile of VHS tapes started piling up. That was all we needed, and they were pretty much the only options anyway.
