Hello, my name is Happy Nat. There's lots to see, hear and read on TheBeatlesRarity for both the casual and die-hard Beatles fans. Various notification/subscription options including email, RSS, Podcast page, Facebook, Google + and Twitter are all accessible at the upper right sidebar. For adding yourself to the mailing list just type your email address in the space provided in the right sidebar (just below Happy Nat's Disc of the Moment).
What follows is my best general description of most of what you'll see here:
1) BROW (i.e The Beatles Rarity Of The Week) – These are published on the site each Monday to get your week off to a good start. The BROW is where I take on the attitude that you can find the mainstream Beatles and solo-Beatles hits anywhere, but once a week or so, you might want to hear something that is a little more out of the ordinary. And if you still have come across the particular variation of a song I post, then maybe it's been awhile, because it's not on the radio or as easily found in stores anywhere. I started BROW back in 2007 and all of them are right here on this site. It is a means of sharing with other Beatles fans from my growing collection of 10,130 recordings. The tracks are considered rare because they are have either been out of circulation for some time, were never in circulation in the first place but only available on unofficial recordings, or other reasons. The sources stem from live concert performances, television appearances, studio outtakes and more. The BROW will feature not only Beatles-era recordings but also recordings from any of their individual post-Beatles careers and even pre-Beatles recordings. Along with the music, there will also be a little discussion to put things into the proper perspective. Just click Rarities in the navigation bar on the top of the page to see a listing by song title of all rarities posted on the site. From there you can simply click and play or read more about them. I take requests for future BROWs too. It only has to be something somewhat rare that one or more Beatles is playing on. Just click Contact in the top navigation bar and let me hear from you.
2) #askNat – Every Thursday I will share selected Beatles-related questions I've received from site readers and answer these as best I can and open it up for further discussion via comments from you. For more on #askNat click the link in the top navigation bar (or click here). To send me your own question for use on #askNat, just click here and tell me what's on your mind.
3) Collector's Corner – These are articles coming out from time to time describing a rare collectible Beatles-related release straight from the Happy Nat collection. It is complete with background information, why it's rare, if it's valuable and, if so, how valuable. And there's lots of photos. Read about the "butcher cover" and other such gems here. Just click Collector's Corner in the navigation bar on the top of the page to check these out.
4) Interviews – I have had the pleasure of chatting with some interesting Beatle-people since beginning this website. In a couple cases, the interview was recorded by me but done by my friend Judith Kristen (author of A Date With A Beatle). There are one or two celebrity-status individuals that I have been able to talk to including Denny Laine (of Paul McCartney & Wings fame) and Brian Ray who has been guitarist/bassist for Paul McCartney since 2002 and now has a few solo releases out. Just click Interviews in the navigation bar on the top of the page to check some of these out. These interviews also air from time to time on Internet streaming station Fab4Radio (see more about Fab4Radio below).
5) BROWcast – BROWcast is simply a podcast version of BROW (see #1 above). BROWcast is not actually posted on TheBeatlesRarity because the BROWs themselves are already here. You can check them out at www.thebeatlesrarity.podomatic.com. To subscribe with your own podcast player use RSS feed http://thebeatlesrarity.podomatic.com/rss2.xml or for Itunes use http://thebeatlesrarity.podomatic.com/rss2.xml (for more information on this, click here). BROWcast is also featured on Fab4Radio. It immediately follows Dennis Mitchell's Breakfast With The Beatles (for showtimes in your area, click here).
6) Side Track Sunday – A Beatles-related is played through on Fab4Radio each Sunday evening and I host the show and give a little info about the record before spinning through uninterrupted (that's right, a whole album with no commercials!). Showtimes will be Sunday night at 0200 UTC. That means 10pm on the U.S. East coast, 7:00 pm on the U.S. West coast, or 3:00 am in London (for more info for your time zone, click here). If those times aren't convenient, there is also a 'repeat performance' of the previous Sunday's show on the following Wednesday (2pm EDST, 11am PDST, 7pm in the U.K., or 1800 UTC).
7) Unscheduled Posts – Occasionally there are other unscheduled posts whenever there is Beatle-news of new releases or other interesting items. You can use the Categories tab in the upper right sidebar of each page to look for cool stuff to read about or listen to.
8) Newsletter – Each Friday an email is sent out to those on the mailing list (simply enter your email address in the space provided in the upper right sidebar to get on the list). It includes links to all of the site highlights from the previous week as well as a bonus feature described next.
9) This week in Beatles History – If you receive Friday's Newsletter (see item 11) a Beatles History factoid will be included that links to a post where you can read more about it. Usually a video or audio track about it is available too.
10) Video content – From 2010 to 2012 three video features were run on the site: Record Roundup, Video of the Week (VOW) and The Beatles Cartoons. These are still here for viewing and reading however YouTube has blocked the content on many of the videos due to licensing issues. More info on that is here.
Since some of the items above are on Fab4Radio, I should also mention that on the right sidebar you will find a conveniently installed player that you can switch on and listen to the station while you are here. Visit here to find out how you can get Fab4Radio on your mobile device, or other means of access.
There are various search mechanisms on the site as well including a "tags" search accessible from the lower right sidebar or a keyword search from the search tab in the upper right sidebar. You can browse through the post archives sorted by the month/year the post was made by clicking here. This has a link to everything posted on the site since it's inception.
For any post you may comment on it, mark it "Fab", or share it with a number of other sites such as Facebook, StumbleUpon, Reddit and more. Look for the buttons to do this at the bottom of each post.
The latest info on site updates and changes is available here, or by clicking the Categories tab in the right sidebar and then clicking Site Information.
There is also a nice list of some of my favorite other Beatles websites accessible by clicking Links in the navigation bar at the top of each page. For even more Beatles websites, click the BeatleLinks banner in the right sidebar.
In the right sidebar, accessible from any page, you will see Happy Nat's Disc Of The Moment. This is a randomly generated photo of a release in the Happy Nat collection. If you click the image you will be taken to a page from the inventory section to read more about the disc (track listings, release dates, bootleg or official, etc.). You may also look discs up in the same inventory by clicking Search Nat's Collection in the top navigation bar (see next paragraph).
Searching through my actual Beatles music collection:
Everything in my entire collection is now listed on this site if you'd like to take a look. From here you may do searches on any song and see how many versions I have of it (many are not officially released recordings) and you may also search album/CD or VHS/DVD titles. Just click Search Nat's Collection at the navigation bar up top. There is truly a wealth of information on the site for anyone interested.
Now a little about me:
I have been fascinated by the work of The Beatles for a long time and have been collecting recordings by them since 1976 which is longer than I have been an adult. Over the years my interests grew beyond the official recordings. It also grew from group efforts to solo-Beatle projects, and from collectible vinyl to CDs and video media. I even started collecting material by other artists that had one or more of The Beatles contributions as supporting musicians. What I really wanted to do was to get everything they ever did musically, but the more I collected and the more I learned, the more I realized what a nearly impossible endeavor this would be. It sure is fun trying though and sharing with you.
Ways to support this site:
The Beatles Rarity web site is run by my own personal efforts and commitment to share my fascination with the music and historical impact of The Beatles, one piece at a time. If this site has somehow contributed to your interest in the music, lore and legend of The Beatles, why not consider a small contribution to help offset the costs of hosting fees, reference materials and other expenses necessary to keep this site going?

Ever wondered what would have happened had you just said "hello" and initiated a conversation with him? Or had just asked for her number? Not often, but occasionally, you get a second chance after a missed connection.
Craigslist offers a chance to establish a connection with someone with whom you've crossed paths, though it takes both a person to post a note and the right person to read it.
It can happen. After all, one recent poster said, though he admits it sounds "corny," "I check these missed connections several times a week . . . Whenever I see a woman in the mall or the grocery store that I think may have smiled at me or if we did a little innocent flirting in the checkout line, I will keep my fingers crossed that maybe she'll post on here. For some reason I just think that meeting that way would make a great story."
And at Patch, we love a good story! So, while odds are slim, we thought we'd help Cupid out and post some lost connections from the greater Pasadena area. You can find the whole Los Angeles County list here, but warning: listings can get racy.
Shops on lake: I had a moment with a beautiful girl and her co-worker walking down the sidewalk; definitely made eye contact and I remember going home and telling my roommate that I had just seen the most beautiful girl in the entire world. I asked another friend the best way to approach a girl who is walking with a co-worker, she said that's a tough one. Now I regret it... that is.. if this is you. <3 Those legs were realllllly putting me through it. Email me, and lets find out if this missed connection is the right connection. I certainly hope so.
Michelle, Chinese, Nurse: Hey M., Chinese nurse. No longer have your number. Still interested. Still think of you. If you're free ... N
Trader Joe's sulfite girl: Hey, we talked about sulfites. Probably should have gotten your number, but eh, c'est la vie, I guess.
Carmine's sexy couple: I'd like to dance with you guys again. You are both very sex. Wish I'd said more on the walk home.

The Tribune-Star
Terre Haute "stars" grooved to the music in front of more than 1,000 people Friday night, all in support of an important cause.
13 "stars" — people in the community that are making a difference in their line of work — took to the dance floor in the Hulman Center for the much-anticipated seventh annual Dancing with the Terre Haute Stars, presented by Chances And Services for Youth and First Financial Bank.
Dancers, donning their fancy outfits, entertained the audience with the cha-cha, swing, waltz, tango, foxtrot and other ballroom dances that brought the crowd to cheers.
The event is a fundraiser benefiting CASY.
Kim Perkins, of Union Hospital, was the winning dancer, followed by Ron Hernandez in second and Brenda Bonine in third. All together, the event raised more than $132,000.
"This is by far our largest fundraiser," said Brandon Halleck, CASY's chief operating officer. "It would be very hard to continue operation without this," Halleck added.
Last year, the event raised $126,000, Halleck said. Over the last six years, it has raised more than half a million dollars, he said.
"This event allows us to continue supporting ... the kids and the families in the Wabash Valley," Halleck said Friday afternoon.
"Without this event," he added, "hundreds of kids that we serve each year would lose out."
The funds are used for programs such as summer camp, car seat program, Camp RAVE, after-school programs, among others.
Going into the event Friday afternoon, Halleck said $111,000 was already raised from tables sold and money raised by the participants.
The event began at 5:30 p.m. with hors d'oeuvres, cocktails and the opening of the silent auction. Dinner was scheduled at 7 p.m. and dancing started at 8 p.m. The master of ceremonies was Julie Henricks.
The night includes plenty of opportunities for fun, but it's still a competition.
Contestants were given points for every table of eight sold, for every other dollar they raise and for the dance performance. They also received 50 percent of the fair market value of any item they donate for the silent auction.
The star who earns the most points is named the winner.
One of this year's judges, Amy Anderson of First Financial Bank, was also last year's winner. She gave a little perspective on what the contestants may be feeling before the event.
"I was probably more nervous than I had ever been," Anderson said of how she felt last year.
"I felt very small in that great big space," she added.
Anderson said that performing in front of an audience gives a "completely different perspective" from rehearsing "in front of the mirror."
"Once I stepped on the dance floor ... I was just focused on what I was doing," she said adding that she tried to "pretend" that the eyes of one thousand people were not on her.
Anderson was excited and had "been excited all week" about the event.
"It would be nice to sit back and get to watch and not be a bunch of nerves," Anderson said.
This year, as a judge, "I want to see [participants] have fun," Anderson said.
"Did they rehearse? Are they having fun?" Anderson said of what she looked for.
And even if the contestants made a mistake, the key is to just move on and smile.
"It's about presentation," Anderson said.
The participants were given 10 hours worth of dance lessons from The Dance Studio.
One of the dance instructors was Halleck.
"You get to know them [the stars]. You become friends with them," he said of practicing with the stars.
And Halleck appreciates the support from the community.
He said that it is so reassuring to find so many people giving a great "amount of dedication and work" to the event.
It feels "good knowing that so many people support your cause," Halleck said.

The Exploited: Troops Of Tomorrow
Barney Hoskyns, NME, 26 June 1982
APART FROM its marvellous cover, which depicts "an Escape From New York vision of a desolated city where punk can express its essential nature of youth anarchy" (a highly revealing bit of blurb, that one), The Exploited's second album is undistinguished by any personal birthmarks. However, it does NOT say "thanks to Gary Bushell" on it I've searched all over it and it quite definitely does not.

Since1998, unconscious brand preferences or even discriminatory biases have been measured by a popular, easy-to-administer tool: the Implicit Association Test (IAT). Recently, Joachim Vosgerau, Assistant Professor of Marketingat Tepper, and his colleague Claude Messner, Lecturer of Psychology, University of Basel, Switzerland,have proved that the test has a flaw that can skew the results, with important implications for legal cases as well as brand market research. They discuss their results in the article"Cognitive Inertia and the Implicit Association Test," appearing in the April 2010 issue of the Journal of Marketing Research.
"Marketing researchers are increasingly interested in unconscious influences on consumer behavior," says Vosgerau. "A central concept of such research is implicit attitudes, which may be better predictors of behavior than explicit (self-reported) attitudes because consumers might be unwilling or unable to correctly reveal their attitudes and preferences. But the IAT that measures these preferences has an important design flaw."
He adds that the IAT has become a widely popular tool, applied in social psychology, organizational behavior, marketing, and even the law. "The IAT was featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 2007 as a tool to uncover implicit racial biases, and IAT findings are currently being used in Dukes v. Wal-Mart, the largest class action employment discrimination case that has ever been convened to go forward against Wal-Mart."
The IAT itself is easy to understand. In an IAT that measures implicit attitudes toward, for example, Coca-Cola and Pepsi, participants view pleasant and unpleasant words, first separately and then in conjunction with the target brands. The difference in the subject's rapidity of response in the various testing blocks indicates the subject's unconscious preference for one brand over another.
However, Vosgerau's study shows that simple cognitive inertia—the difficulty in switching from one categorization rule to another—rather than unconscious preferences explains an important part of the IAT effect at the individual (rather than the aggregate) level.
"Basically, a subject learns to associate pleasant words with the first brand tested and becomes faster at this association as the test progresses. To reverse this learning and associate the pleasant words with the second brand takes time and practice. In other words, because of cognitive inertia, every subject will be slower with the second block of the test, causing the second brand to appear unconsciously less attractive than the first brand. We make recommendations for best practices in administering the IAT, and this is a very important finding for market researchers."

Prison Breakers is the kind of movie at which Alexander Pictures really excels. A lot of production houses have titles featuring a prison theme. When you get into the fucking and sucking of it, though, the prison cells seem to have been done by Martha Stewart and it's less than hot. Alexander, though, takes you into the woods to some abandoned construction site with a bunch of sweaty muscle studs, shoots through the grass so you feel like you've happened upon it yourself, and just tells the guys to bring their bug spray because it's going to get nasty. This movie features some of Alexander's regular fuckers with some new faces. There is more testosterone in this place than should be allowed and it is packed with heavy hitters from start to finish. Grab your lube and enjoy the view, boys.

Looking to go two games over .500, the Aeros played a great road first period and followed that with an ever better second period ... until the last seconds when they allowed the game-tying goal.
Early in the third, Stephane Veilleux got an unsportsmanlike penalty that eventually led to a 5-on-3 and the game-winning goal for the Rampage.
There is no question that the fresh legs prevailed, but the penalty by Veilleux just continued a sequence toward defeat that started with the McMillan,/Fontaine/Granlund line allowed the tying goal with under 10 seconds left in the period.
That sealed at least a point for the Rampage, and the third-period penalties was the dagger.
Thursday, the Aeros will start a three-in-three against Charlotte. Friday, they're in OKC before coming back home to start a 10-game homestand against the Rochester Amerks.
The Aeros are seven points back of Charlotte with a pair of games in hand. It seems very unlikely that they'll catch them for the No. 4 seed and home ice advantage. But win the game Thursday, and things could get interesting down the stretch.
Thursday is a big game; hope to see you at the rink.

"Too quality card with the ability to edit and create your own wording! Arrived quickly and perfectly:) just as we envisioned for our 7year old's halloween party!"
"This card is spectacular and I could not be happier with it. However, the larger rectangular envelopes did not fit the card---I would stick with the square."
"I followed same format as on original. Paper quality was good and everyone has commented how much they like them. Very easy to order and got shipment sooner than was told. VERY HAPPY!"
"Every year I throw a "Witches Brew" tea party for my Ghouls and their daughters. And this year I choose this invitation for the Black Hat Tea Party. And ever since it's been arriving in mail boxes I've been getting phone calls about what a wonderful invitation it is. And in my (spell) book, it's the invitation that gets them exited to be there! This is the second year I've used Tiny Prints for my Witches Brew invitation because their invitations are quality card stock, fun and they arrive so fast & packaged perfectly. This year the invitation had the party details on the front and I was able to write a "spooktacular" poem on the back about the "Black hat requirement"."
"Cards turned out great for our Halloween Party. White text on blue background really makes it distinct. TinyPrints staff made adjustments to text according to my specifications. Excellent Service and FAST!"

Calling an administration corrupt, reckless, & power-hungry does not make it so, & is probably the topic of another discussion. Telling someone they are "wound up" & "spinning like a top," calling LGBT folks "whiners," labeling those who agree with you as "normal", & those who do not as "speech police" & "PC," "butt boys," "not winners," "living in their own world," who "over-react," & whom one "hit a nerve," do not engender thoughtful discussion. Just because someone does not agree with you does not make them mentally imbalanced! Dan Cathy apologized, saying it was a mistake to oppose same-sex marriage, that it was wrong to conflate his personal beliefs with business, & that he respected those whose opinions differed from his own. The problem was not what he believed, it was that his business financially supported hate groups--& I belief, still does, although they have stopped supporting the more extreme ones. Their statement read, in part: "The Chick-fil-A culture & service tradition in our restaurants is to treat every person with honor, dignity & respect." That sounds about right to me.

Eric Wessels May 7, 2014 at 11:16 am
If you really are worried about pork: It has come to my attention, much too late to do anything…Read More about it probably, that there is a hog confinement proposed to be constructed within 1 mile of my home. This is not an uncommon occurrence in the state of Iowa. In fact there are 10 homes within 1 mile of this proposed facility, some just ½ mile away. I have looked at the manure management plan and one poor family will have manure spread on three sides of their property throughout the year. Of course this proposed facility is under the limit of 2500 hogs to require a permit by 20 hogs, so no one was notified. They will run 2 sets of hogs through the facility each year, 4960 hogs. This will produce over 660,000 gallons of liquid waste to be stored in a 270' long, 70' wide, 8' deep lagoon. The manure will all be spread in section 13 of the Adel Township in Dallas County. My secondary concern (my primary concern is my family) is for others impacted and the county as a whole. This is terrible planning. The proposed facility lies in the center between Adel, Waukee, and Dallas Center. Dallas County is the second fastest growing county in the country. Waukee builds a new school every year. The Waukee soccer complex is a short 3.5 mile drive south. The proposed new county facilities would be 3 miles away. There is a church on highway 6 less than 3 miles away. The parking lot for the bike trail in Waukee is less than 3 miles away. The bike trail from Waukee to Dallas Center that was just completed, and is well used, is less than 100 yards. All of these items are outside the limits set by the legislature, but all will be affected. The county web site has maps indicating the entire core from Waukee to Adel and DC is anticipated residential with a regional commercial core where this is located. The long range planning has a western bypass that ties into the highway 5 bypass going right by this facility less than half a mile. Maybe this is what they mean by regional commercial. The map shows a 3/4 mile swath from R16 to R22 just north of 270th street. In a conversation I had w/ the county, it was stated this owner plans to build several (no number or location was given) in Dallas County. He can put facilities of this size every ½ mile without a permit because they will all be considered individual units under the size required to be permitted. I can't believe this is what the citizens of Dallas County want, or what the planning organizations spend their time working on simply to be ignored. The problem primarily lies in the fact that local control is not allowed. In almost every other aspect of governance, local control is preferred and advocated for by the Iowa legislature. Big Ag controls the legislature and the DNR. Talk to your rep. Talk to your senator. Get local control for issues that affect you and your neighbors.

It's not often that a remake can successfully capture the spirit & tone of the original, yet bring something new & unique to warrant a different interpretation of the same story in the first place, but in the case of 'Maniac,' director Franck Khalfoun and producer Alexandre Aja did just that. 'Maniac' is not only a technical achievement, but one of the rare horror movies that serves as a great companion piece to its source material and quite frankly would make for a fine double feature with the original. While lead Elijah Wood (as Frank) makes his presence known through out the entire duration of the movie despite barely being on screen, it's equally important that we feel just as strongly for his victims as well. And one of the more prominent in this new movie is Lucie played by Megan Duffy. FEARnet had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Megan about the audition process for 'Maniac,' the technical challenges of shooting a movie in P.O.V. and the early positive buzz the film has been receiving.
How'd you get the role of Lucie in 'Maniac?' Was it through the traditional audition process?
I was working with a manager at the time who got me the audition. I read it and originally the character of Lucie was supposed to be this kinda punk rock chick and have huge boobs and I remember saying out loud, well this is ridiculous, I'm definitely not what they're looking for. I remember there was a line in the script where she'd open her shirt and it read "she may be petite, but her breasts are not." (Laughs) And I thought, well I'm not getting that job. I had heard of Alexandre Aja and thought with his involvement, it was going to be a cool film, so I went in to audition anyways. The scene they had me do was the dinner scene. Usually when you're auditioning for a horror movie, they have you do the death scene. It was a little strange that they brought me in for that, but they brought me in several times and wanted to make sure I read the whole script and was OK with it. Once they cast Elijah, they brought me in one more time and I officially got it. For me, it was over the course of several months.
I assume you knew the title 'Maniac.' How familiar were you with the original and who Alexandre Aja was?
I knew Alexandre Aja because I thought 'Piranha 3D' is genius. The sense of humor behind that movie, on top of all the gore was amazing, it's great. I was a big fan. I hadn't seen the original 'Maniac' as I was auditioning but I got it from Netflix and watched it, and I actually thought it was an interesting film. In addition to the special FX which still hold up, there were 2 scenes that stuck out for me. There's the subway chase, which goes on forever and is so, so tense and I just felt like you'd never see a scene like that in a film these days because people just don't have the attention span for something with that much tension. And then there's the bathtub scene, where she gets in the tub, takes a bath, and just gets out. And the whole time, you're just waiting for her to die in the bathtub, but it doesn't happen and I thought that was brilliant!
And I think that the versions of those 2 scenes while different are fantastic in the new movie and fans will be pleasantly surprised by them. Now regarding casting, one of the things that people remember about the original is the portrayal of Frank by Joe Spinell, who was always known for being this great character actor in things like 'The Godfather' and 'Rocky'…
Well, I had seen the original 'Maniac' before they cast Elijah Wood. At the time I had no information as to who they were looking at for the role. I did have a lot of friends going in to audition for Frank and they were nothing like Joe Spinell, so I do wonder at what point they brought Elijah in.
People heard Elijah's name and were surprised, but I immediately got it. He did a fantastic job as the creepy character in 'Sin City'. Obviously no one can recreate what Joe Spinell did in the original, but then you hear it's Elijah Wood and I thought that was interesting.
I wasn't surprised really, because the guys that I knew that were going in to read for it were skinny, hipster looking guys, so I had a vague idea of what they were looking for, which made sense for a modern Los Angeles setting. Because you look at Joe Spinell and you think well this guy is obviously up to no good! (Laughs) But someone like Elijah makes it way creepier. In this day & age of Facebook and MySpace and how casual people are about meeting people, I thought that was perfect. That could be the guy that you're chatting with.
The audition process was lengthy, but what about rehearsal? Was there much time to prepare?
Zero. We had no rehearsal time.
So you didn't really have time to meet up and work on stuff with Elijah beforehand?
None of that happened. We didn't have time. I just showed up and we figured it out and (director) Franck (Khalfoun) trusted me and if there was something he didn't like or if he wanted me to do something else, we'd figure it out. A lot of scenes were about 6 takes and that was it. For me, it was really amazing, because I'm used to doing commercials where they're giving me lines to read.
Was the movie fully scripted? Or was there improvisation? The conversations felt natural as if they were improvised.
It was fully scripted. There was definitely a script we followed. When Lucie was in her apartment, there was a little bit of improv, but I don't know how much of that was used. It was more about using the space we were in to our advantage.
I think the most impressive thing about this movie is the technical way it was made; shooting the entire thing from the P.O.V. (point of view) of the killer. Did you know early on that that was the plan? Was it scripted that way?
Yes, it was in the script. And the information about the P.O.V. was there. I assumed as I read it 'well that's going to change'!
One of the first rules of being an actor is don't look directly into the camera! So you get on set and they're shooting this P.O.V. gimmick. How difficult was that as an actor to get used to?
It definitely felt really strange to interact with a human but all your actual interaction is directly at the camera-lens, and it was a little distracting because I would see my reflection. The "sex scene" was tricky, because I had to climb on Elijah and at that point you're seeing it from the ceiling mirror and at a certain point I had to be aware of when he would look down and I'd have to switch to addressing the camera again. That was a tough shot.
Was it hard to coordinate between giving a performance versus the technical aspects of each scene?
I wouldn't say that it was difficult. As an actor, you want to be present in a scene, but it's like remembering your marks and staying present. I didn't find it more difficult than usual.
The first time you saw the completed film was in Cannes?
Yeah. And I had no idea what to expect!
What surprised you the most about seeing the completed film for the first time?
I had seen my scenes during the ADR process and I was really impressed. At some point, I had seen some of the dailies and it weirded me out a little bit, especially some of the "sex" scene which out of context came off a little like porn, so I decided I didn't want to see anything else. But when I saw it assembled, it was really beautiful. It was shot beautifully, the colors are really great. And then the soundtrack. Wow.
As a fan you're always a little skeptical walking into something that you have a pre-determined knowledge of or a previous movie that you're inevitably going to compare it to, but man – I thought that opening scene was so effective that by the time the title card came up, I knew this was a rare exception. The soundtrack by Rob is amazing.
I think the entire style of it is very hip and cool. I love the way they make downtown LA look.
I remember New York in the 80's and that's so pivotal to the original 'Maniac.' Now as a modern present day story, Los Angeles definitely seems more appropriate because present day New York is not what it used to be.
It's like Disneyland now!
What was the general vibe from the audience seeing the movie for the first time at Cannes? Obviously, fans were curious, but I remember a flurry of Twitter posts coming out that were all predominantly positive & saying the movie was really good!
I know horror fans were really upset with the casting choice of Elijah. But at Cannes we got a standing ovation when it was over, which I don't think any of us anticipated. There were a couple of moments where people gasped and stormed out. I read somewhere that it was the most "walked out" film at Cannes, which Cannes is famous for. But it was a cool energy. People seemed really into it. They giggled at the right moments and by the end, the scalping's were getting applause.
They get more and more intense! That's for sure. Speaking of the scalping's, KNB EFX worked on this and the work they did is impeccable. I can only assume that most of it is practical, because that's how it looked. How intricate was the FX side of things for you?
Oh, mine was a full prosthetics. We all had scalp fittings, so it was a prosthetic scalp. The only thing that involved CGI was I think they just made my face look a little redder and I had X marks on my forehead just to blend my forehead with the scalp a little bit more, but the gore you see on screen is pretty close to what we shot there on set. It was horrific. At the Cinefamily screening, one of my friends fainted right after that scene. She went out into the lobby and passed out.
Mission accomplished! (Laughs)
I'm sure the producers probably thought that because of the P.O.V. angle of the film, they could cast someone like Elijah Wood and he didn't have to be there for the majority of the shoot. Yet, in the Q & A at the Cinefamily, he said he was pretty much there for all of it. You definitely feel his presence even when you don't see him. How much did you work directly with him? Was he there right next to the camera the entire time you did your stuff?
The schedule I got originally had me working with his double Steven Williams for half of the time. I showed up my first day, and the producers said that Elijah was going to be there and wanted to be there. So every scene that I do, Elijah is there. Even in Lucie's apartment where I'm interacting with (cinematographer) Maxime (Alexandre), Elijah was there too. Elijah was right there next to Maxime for everything, even if it was just to see his hands. He was definitely there for all my scenes.
Do you have a favorite scene in the movie, excluding yours of course?
I actually really like the scene where Anna (Nora Arnezeder) discovers that Frank is who he is and she's crying and trying to defend herself in the kitchen. It's a great vulnerable moment and it's my favorite of her performance. The subway stuff is beautifully shot and looks so gorgeous. I also love the opening scene/first scalping.
What'd you take away from the whole experience?
Well, I really got to challenge myself, because I usually tend to play characters that are quirky and nerdy. I've never been looked at previously as a "sexual object". So it was funny, it was everything I said I wouldn't do when I first came out to LA is in this movie from the nudity to the violence to the fact that it's a horror film. For me, stepping out of my comfort zone and doing something totally different that people wouldn't expect from me.
Your career in film actually goes all the way back to your history in dance and as a producer. Can you talk a bit about that?
I had done dance for years as a teenager and was approaching that as a career, but had injured myself and couldn't really continue and I started thinking about other things I wanted to do with my life. One of the things I loved about dance, I would get to put on costumes and embody different characters. And so, the logical step for me was acting. I had about a year where I was working a lot of jobs and then a drought. But I had a lot of director friends who would complain about their producers not pulling their weight, or just looking for help in general with their productions, so I said what can I help with? So I found myself suddenly producing. They started to recognize that I had a knack for production and I continued to get asked to continue producing. And also, I was a really bossy kid, so it makes sense I would want to produce. (Laughs)
You had produced several prominent music videos. Which are some that you're most proud of? Which ones should I and our readers go find on You Tube? (Laughs)
The Smashing Pumpkins video for GLOW. Billy Corgan's really delightful. And we shot this video with this high definition super sleek looking lights and we intercut it with this weird rave-y party footage. The whole experience was really fun and I think the video turned out really cool. Music video budgets aren't what they used to be. You look at "Tonight, Tonight" and that was a million dollar video back in the 90's. People don't have the money to spend these days, and even if they did, it's just going to go on You Tube anyways. We had a small budget and I feel like we pulled off some cool creative stuff with that budget. I also produced a Boomkat video, which is a project with Taryn Manning and her brother Kellin. I did 4 videos with Taryn: Runaway, Turn It Up, Run Boy and Lonely Child. The Boomkat video was super tiny, but it was this big dance party with all of these extras and costumes. We found a group of really talented film school kids to be a part of that & they're all working and have successful careers now, but that was another one I was proud of because it was fun. It felt like a party and we just happened to be working it.

This comic book cover image released by Marvel Comics shows the character Daredevil. "Daredevil" will be one of four original series Marvel is developing for Netflix.
Marvel will develop four original series for Netflix in a deal that gives the streaming service one of its most high-profile content partnerships.
The companies announced Thursday that the four live-action, 13-episode series will begin streaming in 2015. Marvel Entertainment President Alan Fine says the shows will be "a serialized epic" that begins with Marvel's "Daredevil" and is followed by "Jessica Jones," ''Iron Fist" and "Luke Cage." It will conclude with a miniseries of "The Defenders."
Last year, Netflix acquired the paid-TV rights to Walt Disney Studios movie releases beginning in 2016. Marvel Entertainment is owned by Disney.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The development order is the most ambitious TV foray for the superhero factory Marvel. This fall it debuted "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." on Disney's ABC.

Folks who spent a Sunday in shirtsleeves gathering leaves could be swapping rakes for snow shovels if today's weather forecast holds true.
The National Weather Service is calling for snow showers today, which could bring the area's official introduction to the 2012-2013 winter season. No more than an inch of the white stuff is expected, however.
High temperatures won't climb but a few degrees above freezing, according to the NWS. Reach for another blanket tonight, because the low will dip into the 20s.
Mother Nature displayed her cruel sense of humor Monday, following up a beautiful Sunday — sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-60s — with a day of wind gusts and heavy rain. Much of northeast Ohio was under a high wind advisory on Monday.
Those gusts were a big part of the power outages that bedeviled dozens of Ashtabula County residents on Monday. The Illuminating Co. reported more than 100 outages in the county by mid-afternoon Monday, including spots in Conneaut; Ashtabula; Jefferson; and Monroe, Kingsville, Denmark, Trumbull, Austinburg and New Lyme townships, according to a website operated by First Energy, the utility's parent company.
More than 4,000 outages were reported across the Illuminating Co.'s service area on Monday afternoon, according to the website.
Snow was a rarity in November 2011, according to NWS records. Last year, the Cleveland district (which includes Ashtabula County), saw only two days with snow and four days of light snow which didn't amount to more than 1.1 inches.

Surcharge is best fix for pet overpopulation
Yes, it is reigning cats and dogs and West Virginians are working hard to solve the problem of pet overpopulation in our state. The article titled "Reigning Cats and Dogs" which ran in the Oct. 10, 2012, edition of The Register-Herald fails to identify any solutions to the pet overpopulation problem in West Virginia. Instead, it argues that placing a higher fee on pet food suppliers would be a "disguised tax." This is simply untrue. As Theresa Bruner, a member of the Federation of Humane Organizations, stated in the article dated Oct. 9, 2012, the proposed legislation merely requires an increase to pet food manufacturers and distributors of $25. This is not a disguised tax; it is merely a surcharge on an already required license.
The truth is that the article offers no solutions. Various organizations in West Virginia have looked at alternatives. Other alternatives that have been explored include creating a surcharge on rabies vaccinations; however, this could increase the number of people who do not have their animals vaccinated for dangerous diseases like rabies. Another alternative, raising the license and registration fee on dogs, would be ineffective because the compliance rate is very low and enforcement would place an added burden, financially and otherwise, on our already understaffed and, in many areas, underfunded law enforcement agencies. Specialty auto license plates cannot solve the problem because in West Virginia all money from the sale of these license plates goes toward the Department of Transportation budget only. Finally, a yearly appropriation from the Legislature would also be a bad idea because it would not be guaranteed every year and would also come from taxpayers' pockets.
Pet food manufacturers and distributors must buy a license or permit to sell their products in West Virginia. The $25 surcharge would be added to the already existing permit fee for pet food only, not livestock or poultry feed. This would also not include specialty food for birds, fish, etc. Last year, according to FOHO's research, there were 417 companies that obtained permits for pet food products. A surcharge on these companies would bring in a little over $100,000 per year consistently. This is not a tax on West Virginia citizens or responsible pet owners. The pet food companies do not have to pass this cost on to consumers. The pet food industry did $119 million in business last year. However, should the cost be passed on, the increase will be minimal. In fact, in Maine, where this system is already in place, the annual increase in pet food costs was merely 57 cents! Let me repeat that — if the costs of pet food would increase due to the surcharge, the yearly cost of that increase is literally pocket change. The money shelters save from having to shelter and euthanize fewer animals could cover this slight increase.
The truth of the matter is that the pet food industry lobbyists do not want this bill passed. But the pet food industry and its lobbyists do not have West Virginians', or the animals', best interests in mind. They only wish to increase profits while animals go homeless and West Virginia taxpayers suffer.

Times West Virginian
The more you watch college sports, the less you know, or so it seems.
Take West Virginia's 4 p.m. game today at TCU.
This was supposed to be a walk in the park for the resurgent Mountaineers, a team that seems to be discovering its identity, that is shooing better and has put together its first two-game winning streak since mid-December.
In TCU it was supposed to be facing the Big 12s worst team, a team that had not won a conference game, that it had beaten handily at home earlier in the season, 71-50, with freshman Eron Harris scoring a career-high 19 points.
This was one you were supposed to fly in, put in the win column and take home with you.
Then TCU upset Kansas Wednesday night.
In case that didn't get through to you, let's try it again.
You remember Kansas, don't you? It has won eight straight Big 12 titles. It had beaten WVU 61-56 in Morgantown.
What TCU did to Kansas was shocking, so much so that Jayhawks coach Bill Self offered this analysis of his team on that day.
"It was the worst team that Kansas has ever put on the floor since Dr. Naismith was there," Self said.
Then, after thinking for a moment, he added:
"What's the right word? Futility? Would that be a word? I don't know that you could describe it. It was awful."
KU had shot 29.5 percent (18 for 61) from the field and hit just three of 22 from three-point range. The Jayhawks scored 13 first-half points.
"I think (Dr. Naismith) had some bad teams when he lost to Topeka YMCA and things like that in the first couple years," Self said. "But for the first half, there hasn't been a team play worse than that."
This would be true, but give TCU some credit, too.
WVU coach Bob Huggins does.
"I really think they played as hard as anybody has on a game-to-game basis," Huggins said when asked about this matchup.
It was something he had said following the victory over TCU … and now they had beaten Kansas.
"They made some shots. They did a great job defensively. When Kansas cut it to four I think they missed three front ends and still were able to go down and get stops. I thought that was really impressive," Huggins added.
Huggins had said all year that he didn't think TCU would go the entire season without winning a Big 12 game.
"They play too hard, they run things, Trent (Johnson) has done a good job. I thought they'd win a game in the league," he said.
But Kansas?
"Kansas probably wouldn't have been my first pick," Huggins admitted.
So now his team with an 11-11 record and needing a win to get to 5-5 in Big 12 play has a challenge from a team bursting with new confidence.
The one thing the Mountaineers have going for them is a newfound ability to put the ball in the basket with Deniz Kilicli finally establishing an inside presence for them.
Shooting just .403 for the year from the field, WVU has hit at .430 clip over its last five games, one of them being a dismal shooting game against Kansas.
Kilicli has led the way hitting 19 of his last 33 shots over the last five games, a .576 clip.
That makes defenses have to guard him, which should make life easier for the Mountaineer outside shooters, who are starting to come on.
The player who has struggled the most the last couple of games has been the one they had been counting on the most, Eron Harris, who has to get on a hot streak to give WVU the kind of balance that can carry it to the wire and give it a shot at earning an NCAA bid.

The Ohio Casino Control Commission says Horseshoe Cincinnati has been granted a public opening date of March Fourth next year. The casino will be the last of four voter-approved casinos to open in the state in less than one year. Construction at the site started in February 2011 and is now in its final stages. Casino General Manager Kevin Kline says in a statement efforts to hire and train about 1,700 new workers are on schedule and several hundred slot machines have already been placed on the gaming floor.
When the Horseshoe Casino opens next spring it will likely have an 80-foot tall sign to attract customers. The full City Council is expected to approve the idea next week. The Budget and Finance Committee Monday approved the sign. Council Member Chris Seelbach is supportive."I think most reasonable people would say that this sign makes sense," Seelbach said. "I don't know that you can see it from Over The Rhine because of where it is positioned at the casino site and how low it is."
Cincinnati's Horseshoe Casino is on schedule to open next Spring. General Manager Kevin Kline says you should expect to see something unique.
"I think it's unique in terms of the architecture... the openness. It's unique in terms of having a one acre outdoor space connected to your casino that you can program and activate. And unique in that... look at the community that we're in, you've got Over-the-Rhine, Pendleton and Downtown all within the doorstep."
A current Cincinnati assistant police chief is leaving the department to be the director of security at the new downtown casino.
Horseshoe Cincinnati announced Thursday in a press release Richard Janke will start the new job on Sept. 10th.
"Richard's law enforcement experience, in-depth understanding of Cincinnati and his commitment to the vitality and safety of downtown makes him a great addition to our team," said casino General Manager Kevin Kline in a written statement.
Cincinnati's new downtown casino is expected to open next spring, and it will begin recruiting for its first positions next week.

What a co-inky-dink!
A week ago today we moved Emily into her 2nd apartment in Washington D.C. Gary made a Facebook post about this event which he immediately got a response from a long time friend. Back in 1989 we had Emily in Manhattan and I felt isolated - yes this is true even in the biggest city in the world! So being a first time mother, I found a Mommy and Me class down in the Village where we were living at the time. I made friends immediately! RELIEF! So the person who Facebooked Gary back, was the Dad of my first friend with a baby, Janice. Janice's daughter, Halley has since graduated college and is now residing and working in Washington D.C. about 3 blocks from Em! CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS??!!!
We've lost touch over the years with Janice and Steve as they moved to Westchester and we are in New Jersey. But through the magic of Facebook we've come together again! Janice and I got the girls together -again through Facebook - and they've set a date to meet up next week! Wouldn't that be something if they became friends again - now that's going full circle!
Janice wrote that she remembers the girls sharing the playpen and Emily's Binky! I searched and searched for those photos, but this was the best I could come up with!
Thank you Facebook!

Cyclebration Omnium - Sept. 11-13
Mon, 08/31/2009 - 3:53pm | by Mr. Cyclebration
NOTE to RACERS: The web site previously indicated that the Cyclebration time trial was pre-reg only. This is TRUE. However, this also means that the road racing omnium is pre-reg only. This wasn't made clear in the past, but it is now. The TT promoter requires this in order to be able to group all categories of racers into similar/consecutive start times in order to avoid weather (temps and wind) from having any unfair influence on TT times.
C'mon out - last year's 1st annual event was awesome, and this year's is already better.

Jagger began to radiate the old charm, flashing his diamond smile and twinkling his eyes, which are beginning to show crow's-feet which are also known as laugh lines. He was thinking of going out for a walk, he said, but the fans were closing in on the hotel. "It eventually affects you so that you don't feel like having to face anything."
What about the disappearing band member that the authorities had almost confiscated? What will the fans of old think of the Stones giving in to the police?
"Well, yeah, I just thought that practically it'd be better if we didn't use it because if we were arrested we wouldn't be able to use the fucking thing at all anymore. They'd be waiting for us everywhere. The cock has now reached minimal proportions, rather than if we'd said, 'Oh fuck 'em.' I thought of that, of course I did. You just have to realize where you are and whether it's really worth it. It's not compromising so much as being a bit more far-sighted."
Well, what does Jagger make of the Stones' image this time around?
Jagger grimaced: "Image, that's just, that's just people who don't know you, so how can they get that opinion of you? Oh — I guess just by reading about you and listening to the records. So they get their image of you that way."
And the old Prince of Darkness/Sympathy for the Devil image?
"Yeah, yeah, that was an unintentional role. We may put that song back into the show, though it needs rehearsing. So it'll be part of one's makeup again. We prefer to play the newer songs. I would prefer not to do any of the old ones at all. We have a lot of new ones that we don't do, that I'd like to do, like 'Time Waits for No One.'"
Has Jagger thought all that much about his future and the future of the band?
"I think," he said, "that we would like to do some gigs next year. I don't really know how long the band's gonna last. Lots of bands of other kinds, not rock bands, have stayed together. Not always with great results."
Yes, but here you're all getting up in your 30s. How will you deal with becoming an aging rock star? Pete Townshend is probably the only one who's talked about that and he's said that he's stopped doing teenage songs.
"Ah," Jagger winked. "But, see, I never was a teenager. I don't remember doing any teenage songs. But I do know what he means. Pete, though, has got 'My Generational' to cope with. We don't have anything like that. I mean, we stopped doing 'Satisfaction' quite a long while ago."
But then maybe it's easier for someone like Dylan, who can always be an acoustic troubadour.
"Maybe I can do that. It's not difficult to go onstage and just sing. As long as you can hold people, you don't have to dress up, really — it's not necessary."
Maybe you're right, I said. Elvis may have proved that.
"Proved what? I saw him on the TV last night. I thought it was awful. I'd never seen Elvis before. But, I mean, it was just the crowd, where he was, and all that. I'd never seen him and I don't know. He's still going on. He's an example. But a lot of people think he's stupid, you know."
Elvis Presley Through the Years
He doesn't give interviews and you still do.
Jagger laughed heartily. "Yeah. You'd say to him, 'Hey Elvis, how come at the age of' — however old he is, he's quite old — 'how come you still want to dress up in a silly suit and get onstage? At the funckin' International Schlock Hotel in Las Vegas?'" Jagger slipped into what he considers to be a southern drawl: "'Wal.' drawled Elvis, 'it's the money and the fame. Damn straight.' That's what the guy does. He'd be lost if he couldn't do that."
Does it, I asked, cost you more now than then years ago to keep yourself reasonably content? "It probably costs me far more," Jagger said. "I spend more on travel mainly than I used to since I don't live so much in one place anymore. I'm not as domesticated as I used to be. By domesticated, I mean — what I mean is living in a house and being with a woman and all that; permanently settled in one place, that's domestication. I just keep going."
What, then, is important to you? Your work? He smothered a giggle. Well then, is, say, a candy bar important to you? He laughed. "I don't think anything is really important to me, you know? Not really. I mean, not overwhelmingly." What about the adulation of the masses out there?
"That," he said seriously, "that's a difficult thing, you know. Because, because I've been living like this for so long that if I stop — if I stop doing it, it's bound to affect me, you know. It's an overwhelming feeling, the audience. That must be why most of these people never give up performing. Because they just can't go without that sort of rush. It's a bit like having an orgasm. Sometimes an orgasm is better than being onstage; sometimes being onstage is better than an orgasm."
What about acting: Do you want to move into that more? "I'd like to try some more. I've never gone to see myself in a movie, kind of nervous about it. I'm not sure if I've got that relentless, ruthless ambition anymore. To want to be a star, because I mean it's hard, it's ruthless. I don't know if I want to do that."
And after this tour? "I don't know. I guess I'll just either continue to do music or try movies or maybe just stop completely." But could you stop completely? "For a while." Maybe take some time and write the history of the Stones? Jagger stood up and delivered the full Super Trouper smile: "I'll never do that."

Season Overview
Devante Smith-Pelly appeared in his first NHL season with the Ducks in 2011-12. He became the second member of Anaheims 2010 draft class to play in the league, joining defenseman Cam Fowler.
Making the team out of training camp, Smith-Pelly played in his first career game in the season opener against Buffalo on October 7 in Helsinki, Finland. At an age of 19 years, three months and 23 days, he became the third youngest Duck to appear in an NHL contest on that night. One day later in Stockholm, Sweden, he netted his first career point by assisting on an Andrew Cogliano goal against the New York Rangers.
All the rest is right here
