This is not exactly work day morning music. You should probably wait until night when you can relax and think and brood and enjoy. But Medici.TV has this concert with Renee Fleming -- the diva in the dreamy picture at left -- singing Richard Strauss' "Four Last Songs" in addition to music from Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde."
This all looks (and sounds) great from where I sit, which is at my desk where of course I should be getting work done instead of listening to this.
We have kind of a proprietary interest in Renee Fleming because she comes from Rochester down the road, and she has paid several visits to the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, including once when, at a Season-Opening Gala concert, she sang these ravishing, bittersweet Strauss songs.
Her dark and smoky soprano is perfect for them, say I. And even though in the video she walks out on stage smiling, she and Abbado and company surround the songs with just the right twilight atmosphere.
Here is the link. Click at your own risk! Keep in mind, half way through the first song the thing will stop and cough up a request that you enter your email address and a password. But then you are registered and it does not cost anything and they will alert you to future freebies.
Happy listening!

Mitt Romney has pledged to do away with President Obama's healthcare reform law if he wins next week's election. But would he — or any other president — have the power to do so?
Not exactly, according to two Georgetown University professors writing this week in the online version of the Journal of the American Medical Assn. But there are some things President Romney would be able to do if he won, and more if he were joined in Washington by a Republican-controlled Congress.

Federal employee advocates to Congress: Don't cut workers' comp
- By Eric Katz
- December 7, 2012
- Leave a comment
A federal employees group has reiterated its opposition to potential changes to workers' compensation laws, saying the update would result in huge benefits cuts to retirees who have been injured on the job.
The National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association pointed to a provision included in the Senate's postal reform bill that calls for a cut in the benefits to all retirement-age employees collecting workers' compensation.
The bill would modify the 1916 Federal Employees Compensation Act, which currently provides workers disabled on the job 66 2/3 percent -- or 75 percent if they have dependents -- of the salary they earned while working, plus related medical expenses for their entire lives. The change would provide eligible former employees with 50 percent of their former salary and eliminate the additional benefits for those with dependents.
A recent Government Accountability Office report found the changes would result in workers' compensation recipients collecting 31 percent to 35 percent less than retirees collecting benefits through the Federal Employees Retirement System.
"On behalf of the nearly 5 million federal employees and annuitants represented by the NARFE," president Joseph Beaudoin wrote in a letter to Congress, "I respectfully urge you to oppose any legislation that includes substantial and unfair reductions in federal workers' compensation benefits."
Beaudoin said he instead supports the Federal Workers' Compensation Modernization and Improvement Act, which passed the House in November 2011. The bill would streamline the claims process for those workers who sustain a traumatic injury in a designated armed conflict zone, label injuries sustained due to terrorism as war-risk hazards, and provide $6,000 in benefits for funeral expenses and $50,000 in compensation for facial disfiguration. It also would permit physician assistants and nurse practitioners to certify disability for traumatic injuries and ensure that they are reimbursed for their services. In addition, it would allow the Labor Department, which administers workers' compensation, to verify federal employees' salaries against Social Security Administration data and to collect administrative fees from employing agencies.

The INFINIA PK950 series: Elite plasma . . . Elite LG
Sure, all LG HDTVs are designed and constructed to set industry standards for video-reproduction performance and exhilarating home entertainment. But not all LG panels are created equal . . . There's an elite series of plasma displays from this celebrated manufacturer, and it has but one name: INFINIA. While all LG panels deliver stunning video images, the INFINIA series concerns itself equally with the TV's physical aesthetic. In other words, all INFINIA panels are lavished with sleek, innovative bezel designs that add modern sophistication to any viewing area. First, compact plasma display technology endows the 50PK950 with an incredibly thin 2.1" panel depth. Once wall-mounted, this LG plasma display will seamlessly integrate with your living room or home theater area's look. Second, LG takes the elegance of the 50PK950's panel one step further by unifying the entire front of the panel into a single, smooth plane. By laying the super-thin bezel flush with the video screen and covering the entire surface with a single sheet of glass, LG allows the plasma display to reign unencumbered by the thick, blocky bezels found on most other HDTVs. Further, thanks to innovative TruBlack Filter technology, the 50PK950's panel dramatically reduces glare for improved viewing even in rooms with ambient light. Finally, optimizing your ability to integrate this advanced plasma HDTV into your home theater setup, LG includes a Wi-Fi adapter with purchase, allowing you to explore online content with a wired or wireless connection (Internet service required, see "The next leap in home entertainment", bleow.) With the INFINIA series 50PK950 from LG, you're adding more than a TV to your living room.
Coming to a home theater near you . . . THX
You sit down, popcorn bowl tucked into your elbow, and comfortably recline. Then, the lights begin to dim, and everyone else in the room tapers off their conversations. The screen in front of you glimmers to life and three iridescent letters appear&ensp— THX. This may sound like what you'd expect to experience at the local movie theater, but the truth is, with the THX-certified 50PK950 plasma HDTV in your living room, you can expect the same visual magic of the theater right in your home. Originally developed as a standard for exceptional, reference-quality audio reproduction in movie theaters, THX certification has been expanded not only to home theater audio, but to video as well. As an industry benchmark in video-image quality, THX Display Certification assures you that the 50PK950 is capable of delivering exceptional images, frame after frame, bringing you immersive movie, broadcast, and gaming experiences from Full HD video sources, right in your living room. Now all you need are some dimmable lights and red velvet curtains.
The next leap in home entertainment — NetCast
There's a difference between being greedy and simply wanting plenty of options. Sure, you have oodles of DVD and Blu-ray Disc movies, all of which you love to watch in your home theater. But by no means is your home video experience limited to these two types of discs. You also have access to a little something known as "the internet." The only problem is, in order to watch online video sources, you have to abandon your time-molded recliner in the living room and plop yourself down at the desk chair in the home office. And then you have to watch video on a measly 20" or so computer monitor. You've just about had it . . . you demand more viewing options in your home theater . . . you demand online access in your living room . . . in other words, you require the Infinia 50PK950 HDTV from LG, sporting NetCast Entertainment Access technology. Simply connect this 50" plasma HDTV to your pre-existing internet service using the panel's built-in ethernet port, and you're poised to discover a wide range of online viewing features. Stream video and television episodes from Netflix. Catch the latest rave on YouTube. Check out your friend's photo album on Picasa. Enjoy HD movies streamed from Vudu. You can even access everything from news to stocks to weather via a variety of Yahoo! TV Widgets. Further, the 50PK950 is Skype compatible, ready for you to engage in online video and voice calling across the globe (separate headset and camera required). Take the leap with the 50PK950.
Smooth, fluid . . . 600Hz
Here's a quick "Illusion of Motion 101": The effect of motion used in movies and on TV is achieved by flashing a series of still images on the screen in fast succession. Think back to the flip books you played with when you were a kid — the same principle is at work. Now, while a flip book might only flash five or six images every second, making the moving image a little choppy, film and TV programming uses frame rates between 24 frames-per-second (fps) and 60fps, respectively. (Frames per second are also expressed in Hertz (Hz)). This accelerated frame rate makes it possible to reproduce motion that looks smooth and natural. Nevertheless, during some fast-action sequences in sports or movie programming, you still might find that you're seeing some of that flip book judder. Delivering moving images that are smoother and more lifelike, no matter what you're watching, LG's 50PK950 plasma panel sports 600Hz Max Sub-Field Drive technology. By flashing the panel's pixels 10 times for each frame — up to 600 times per second for 60Hz content — 600Hz technology enhances the continuity between frames, thereby reproducing moving images with heightened realism.
The panel itself
There are ordinary plasma HDTV panels, and then there's the PK950-series panel from LG. Since their appearance, plasma panels have never failed to deliver exceptionally sharp and crisp detail, and with its combination of a Full HD 1920 x 1080p panel resolution and 5,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, the 50PK950 is no exception. However, plasma panels have historically suffered poor performance in well-lit rooms. Here, the 50PK950 is the exception. Sporting a 1500cd/m² brightness level, this plasma panel is easily able to display fully lit, vivid images even in rooms with high levels of ambient lighting. And then, amping up the image-reproduction performance, LG includes Dual XD Engines. Using advanced video processing, the Dual XD Engines optimize black levels and panel brightness, enhance color, and reduce image noise and artifacts. Additionally, XD Engine technology provides de-interlacing of analog signals, making these compatible with the performance level of modern flat panel technologies. Finally, three Image Sticking Minimization modes ensure uniform panel performance throughout this plasma HDTV's impressive 100,000-hour panel life. (In case you're wondering, 100,000 hours is about 55 years at 5 hours of viewing per day.)
Efficiency and performance . . . customized
Certainly, a new HDTV should satisfy all of your home viewing tastes and preferences. At the same time, however, a flat panel HDTV ought also to meet both the demands of your viewing area and your energy-use goals. True to form, the LG 50PK950 delivers. First, the 50PK950's Intelligent Sensor employs a sophisticated algorithm that uses 4,096 sensing steps to evaluate the panel's surroundings, ultimately optimizing the panel's brightness, contrast, color, sharpness, and white balance to the needs of your home viewing area. Second, not only does the Intelligent Sensor customize panel performance to changing conditions in your living room, but by doing so it also minimizes overall energy consumption. Paired with LG's Smart Energy Saving technology, the Intelligent Sensor helps to achieve unprecedented energy efficiency for a large-screen plasma HDTV.
Co-nec-ti-vi-ty and In-ter-ac-ti-vi-ty
One of the most important items on an HDTV's spec sheet is one of the most over-looked. We're talking about connections, here. You see, a panel's connectivity options communicate a great deal about the HDTV's potential — will the TV work with your existing equipment? what kind of video sources can you watch? what kind of room is there for system growth? With the answers to these questions in mind, the folks at LG have equipped the 50PK950 with an impressive repertoire of audio and video connections. First off, four total HDMI inputs offer optimal, single-cable connectivity to Full HD 1080p sources, and the side HDMI input is great for connecting a friend's HD gaming console. Second, multiple component- and composite-video inputs are great for connecting to non-HD video sources. Third, two USB ports let you hook up to digital cameras and portable audio/video players, and even support DivX video from online sources. And for the final connection, a PC input with audio makes it possible to convert the 50PK950 into a 50" computer monitor, while a digital optical audio output is great for sending audio to your system's A/V receiver. To make it all these connections easier to use, LG has introduced a new way to move with your remote by simplifying the design down to the bare essentials, and using a motion sensitive graphic user interface to allow you select inputs, channels and customize your display. It's a new way to interact with your television — and one we think you'll love!
Bring on the sound
The advanced HD video performance offered by the 50PK950's panel is only half of the story when it comes to the complete home-theater experience. "What's the other half", you might ask? Audio. Not only does the 50PK950 LED HDTV sport a two-speaker, 20W built-in audio system, but it reinforces it with a variety of audio-enhancing technologies. First, an Infinite Sound system teams up with built-in Dolby Digital decoding to deliver a virtual surround sound experience. Second, an Auto Volume Leveler II ensures that volume levels remain stable — i.e. no loud spikes in volume when TV programming cuts to commercial. Finally, the 50PK950's Clear Voice II technology automatically enhances and amplifies the sound of the human voice's frequency range during scenes when background noise swells, assuring that you catch every last syllable of crucial dialogue.
Your HD lifeline
High Definition Multimedia Interface, or HDMI, is the only home A/V connection that allows for both Full HD 1080p video and 7.1-channel studio-quality audio to be passed along a single cable. In other words, in order to take full advantage of your home theater's high definition potential, you need to HDMI cabling to link HD-capable components. It's only natural that you might have questions regarding how best to outfit your personal HD system. Vann's sales representatives are here to explain all of your options.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Rather than making its primary focus the reduction of emissions and the prevention of human and environmental exposures to toxic chemicals, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has instead chosen to establish "acceptable" exposure levels based on the results of animal tests.
In fact, the EPA requires more animal-based chemical toxicity testing than any other federal agency. Yet in more than 10 years, the EPA has banned only a handful of toxic industrial chemicals using its authority under the Toxic Substances Control Act, despite killing hundreds of thousands of animals and despite urgent calls to limit chemical exposures.
The EPA's indifference to animal suffering is further evidenced by its allocation of less than 10 percent of its $200 million annual research budget to the development of non-animal testing methods, which are generally more reliable, less costly, and always more humane than animal-based tests. Instead, the EPA erects roadblocks at every turn, refusing to use internationally accepted non-animal tests, while wasting countless taxpayer dollars to fund cruel animal experiments like these.
Catering to the Chemical Industry
The chemical industry has long approved of federal regulatory agencies' near-exclusive reliance on animal testing, since the results of these tests are always subject to interpretation. In addition, any required testing means that their products are safe from regulation for years while products are tested and retested. And after decades of practice, industry representatives have perfected the art of arguing both sides of the animal-testing issue.
For example, if a chemical is shown to cause cancer or other harmful effects in animal tests, industry representatives claim that the results are not applicable to humans. This has happened with the pesticide atrazine and with chemicals called phthalates (ingredients in plastic products, including children's toys and IV bags). In each of these cases, companies have argued that cancers that develop in animals exposed to these chemicals would not occur in humans, and the arguments have worked. Both of these chemicals remain on the market and in widespread use even though thousands of animals have died painful deaths during their EPA-mandated testing.
Another example is saccharin, which was recently removed from the federal list of cancer-causing chemicals. In the late 1970s, huge doses of saccharin caused bladder cancer in rats, and the sugar industry had a field day. Now, two decades later, government scientists have been forced to admit that the animal tests just aren't relevant to humans.
At the same time, though, company officials happily rattle off the results of EPA-required animal studies that show that their chemicals are not harmful. In these cases, companies laud the predictability of animal studies and claim that their products are safe for humans. This is exactly what happened with cigarettes for more than 20 years as industry scientists claimed that tobacco was safe for humans because animals who were forced to inhale cigarette smoke in laboratory experiments did not develop cancer.

On Tuesday while area residents were left speculating as to why a local man was gunned down Monday afternoon outside a Poncey-Highland apartment complex, others were left still believing the Ponce de Leon Avenue corridor will succeed in its evolving urban gentrification in the face of some recent violent crime.
Lee Lowery III was shot and killed by a lone gunman shortly after 5 p.m. Monday while attempting to visit the Ford Factory Lofts, located in the Poncey-Highland neighborhood next to the Ponce City Market development.
Late Monday morning, Atlanta police released this video showing the moments that led to the fatal shooting of the 20-year-old young man in the breezeway of the apartments. Police investigators are asking that anyone with information regarding the crime contact Atlanta Police Homicide Investigators at 404-546-4235 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477.
Information is still forthcoming about the victim, who by some accounts here at Patch grew up in the Highlands area of the neighborhood and attended Grady High School. At the Facebook page for the Southerner, Grady's newspaper, a Tuesday post mentioned that Lowery was a member of the GHS Class of 2010.
A sampling of the comments at Patch about Lowery included these:
"Lee was a great kid working hard for a future as a pharmacist. He was a kind, well mannered young man. It is a tragedy that he was taken so early, he will be missed."
"Lee was an absolute great KiD! He played sports in our community and was friends with all of our sons. I drove him to play soccer and loved for him to visit our home."
"Lee was a good buddy of mine…. He was a good man, with a kind heart."
"Lee had such a big heart and was a great person. He was always smiling and laughing."
Virginia-Highland resident Jay Malloy was making a late Monday afternoon run to the Kroger store that is in The Shops of Ford Factory shopping center that also includes the apartment complex. He had just driven into the parking lot from the Ponce entrance when he "heard a pop."
"It was unmistakable, it was a gunshot," Malloy told Patch. "So as I was trying to park, some guy comes flying by me trying to exit onto North Avenue. He almost hit me."
While not knowing if the driver was the suspect in question, Malloy did give a quick description to police of the black male and the "white or cream" colored car he was driving. The APD released video appears to show a black male as the suspect.
Ford Factory Lofts officials are working with authorities as the video released by APD came from the building's owners, who expressed their sympathy to the victim.
"Whatever we can do to assist in finding out who is responsible we will do,'' said Matthew Hicks, vice president of DEL Development Corporation, which has owned and operated the lofts complex for almost 15 years. "This is an isolated incident. This is not a function of Ford Factory Lofts."
The building was the first auto assembly plant in the southeast and is on the registry of National Historic Landmarks. The recipient of many design awards when it was converted from a factory in the early 1980s, it currently is at 96 percent occupancy.
Property manager Lindsey Gehm confirmed that neither the victim nor suspect was a resident. "This situation has never happened before,'' she explained. "All day I've been receiving emails, phone calls from residents seeing what they could do to help. This is a close-knit community."
The apartments entrance shares the same parking lot that contains the local landmark Kroger grocery store that has a not-so-endearing reputation due in part to a murder that took place in the parking lot a decade ago.
On Tuesday, several Ford Factory Lofts residents approached by Patch remarked that the idea of a brazen crime committed during the weekday afternoon hours was a bit unsettling. The very popular Cameli's Pizza is just a few feet away from where the crime occurred.
But others said that living amongst the "culture" of this part of the city just comes with the territory. The area is speckled with the homeless and others who spend time for whatever reason on the streets of Ponce at all hours of the day and evening.
"I'm not OK with it, but this is Atlanta," said Ford Factory Lofts resident Eddie Flores, who indicated he had lived in the building for two years. "Things like this can happen anywhere you go."
But unsolved murders in the neighborhood have for whatever reason made their way into the local headlines too much of late. Last month, a daylight shooting at the busy Ponce/Moreland Avenue intersection shocked many in the community.
In August, closer in proximity to Monday's murder, the much-liked owner of the ATL Food Mart at 730 Barnett Street between St. Charles Avenue and Ponce, was shot and killed outside the store. None of the shootings would appear to be related, but the senselessness of each has many continuing to call for an end to all and nearby violent crime.
"It's kind of scary," said Malloy, who also happened upon the ATL Food Mart shooting in late summer. "I was coming back from the Kroger and turned on my street and saw three police officers with AR-17s drawn. They told me to get back in my house. It's getting crazy."
In spite of the recent shootings, the feeling among many hopeful locals is this area of Ponce, including the Old Fourth Ward and Poncey-Highland neighborhoods, along with pockets of Midtown and Virginia-Highland, will continue along a successful gentrification path.
While consistently warning people about staying alert and aware when out, and also being smart about not leaving valuables exposed in vehicles, APD has reported throughout the year that violent crimes have been down in the area. Still, as it is in numerous locales across metro Atlanta, the threat of armed crime must be respected in this area.
A century ago, Ponce was where many of Atlanta's elite lived amongst one of the city's leading residential neighborhoods. After the middle class fled to northern sections of the city in the 1950s and 1960s, Ponce morphed into an area that was known for eclectic character and nightlife, but along with that came crime, prostitution and drug use.
The reality is that all of those elements remain to an extent, but there are real signs that are signaling a change that continues to come. The nearly two-decade old transformation of the former Ford assembly plant at 699 Ponce de Leon is a part of the rebirth of this historic section of the city.
So is the Ponce City Market, scheduled to open in earnest in 2014. Last year, the private-equity group Jamestown Properties purchased City Hall East and along with Green Street Properties is in the midst developing it into Ponce City Market, a two million square-foot complex with retail, restaurants (Dancing Goats Coffee has already opened), boutiques and offices, with residential housing to come.
Also in 2011, the Georgia Department of Transportation announced it would implement pedestrian safety improvements along Ponce from Piedmont to North Highland and Moreland – a stretch of about two miles. The area is moving forward with enhancing its walkability.
The Year of Boulevard from City Councilman Kwanza Hall was announced this past January as an organized and determined effort to clean up the nearby Boulevard corridor. This initiative includes crime prevention, job training, education reform, and more and even a new APD mini-precinct has been opened off Boulevard in 2012.
And the Atlanta BeltLine's Eastside Trail, which runs adjacent to Ford Factory Lofts and Ponce City Market, has only been officially opened a few weeks and already is drawing lots and lots of daily foot and cycling traffic.
There are many other smaller organized initiatives in motion, too, as there is a community participatory effort being made to produce change for the better in this eastern portion of the city.
"Relative to what the neighborhood was like 12 years ago, 10, 8, 5 years ago, it's obviously in a recovery situation with what is a great neighborhood," said Hicks. "It's exciting what we're seeing with Ponce City Market and the opening of the BeltLine. You look out the window and you see bikes and people pushing strollers. It's been a long time coming."
But tragically for Lee Lowery and all who loved his 'big heart,' he won't be around to see it.

Speaker Bobby Harrell recently tweeted that he got 100% rating from BIPEC which scores legislators on business/industry issues.
From BIPEC's website:
"1) Bills are rated Business Positive or Business Negative by the BIPECPAC Executive Board after a recommendation from the BIPEC Legislative Advisory Committee. 2) Roll call votes concerning BIPECPAC Rated bills are recorded from the official legislative Journal. 3) Each bill vote is weighted according to its relative importance. 4) A raw vote score is calculated based on each legislator's bill votes and the nature of each legislator's absences. 5) Points are awarded for sponsoring/cosponsoring Business Positive legislation and points are deducted for sponsoring/cosponsoring Business Negative legislation."
When you are the one (as Bobby Harrell is) who determines which bills get to the floor for a vote you can ensure only bills that you will vote correctly on get a vote, thus insulating you (and your pals) from things like a bad rating on the BIPEC scorecard. So Bobby Harrell ... and his minions ... are able to get good BIPEC scores because bills/votes that would hurt their BIPEC scores never make it to a vote.
The Fair Tax is a perfect example. Harrell is listed as a co-sponsor, it was assigned to the House Ways and Means committee. The W&M committee chairman, Brian White is also listed as co-sponsor. Brian asks how high, when Harrell says jump. It has a total of 67 cosponsors. That's more than half of the 124 members of the House. Yet, it didn't even get a vote. Never came out of committee. Harrell is able to act as if he likes and supports a bill yet kills it by never letting it come up for a vote.
My pal Larry Barnett has another example.
The House has a rule that says the sponsor of a bill can request that it be brought out of committee and to the floor (Senate lacks this rule), so it is harder to kill bills in the House by just leaving them in committee. However, the House has other ways to keep bills from being voted on. If five members object or request debate, the bill goes to the contested calendar until one or more of the objections is withdrawn. This enables a few members to stop a bill, and is often used as leverage to get things passed that should not be passed. Harrell and cronies used this tactic to keep the FOIA bill (H3235) tied up on the contested calendar until almost the end of the session before sending it to the Senate, which facilitated the Senate to use their rules to make sure the bill was dead. The leaders of the two bodies work together to control which bills get through the system. Many bills get approved in House only because Harrell and friends know it will be killed in the Senate.
South Carolina voters ... have you had enough yet of politics as usual in our state?

At about 7:15 on the evening of December 3rd, 1979, Larry Magid sat down to dinner with Frank Wood in the luxurious Beehive Club, a private club in the upper reaches of Cincinnati's Riverfront Coliseum. Wood, who is general manager of the city's premier rock station, WEBN-FM, remarked to Magid, who is head of Electric Factory of Philadelphia (one of the country's leading rock promoters), that the crowd streaming onto the coliseum floor far below them for that evening's Electric Factory-promoted Who concert seemed to be quite orderly. A "happy crowd," he said, not at all like the rabble that had disrupted previous "chain-saw concerts" there, like the Outlaws' fighting crowd and Led Zeppelin's mob. The crowd below them was sprinting to get as close as possible to the stage, in the grand tradition of "festival" or unreserved seating. By agreement of the coliseum management (the coliseum is privately owned), Electric Factory and the Who, mostly general-admission tickets had been sold: supposedly 3578 reserved seats in the loges at eleven dollars each and 14,770 general-admission tickets at ten dollars each.
A few of those thousands of young people – the youngest known was four years old – had blood on their shoes as they ran happily down the concrete steps into the "pit," the seatless area in front of the stage where the true fanatics stand throughout the show. But no one noticed. Some of the people who paused – dazed – beside the green and white pizza stand just past the nine turnstiles at the main entrance had no shoes on at all, and some had lost other bits of clothing. But other than that, inside the hall, it just seemed to be business as usual: the familiar ragtag rock & roll army staggering into the hall after five or six hours of waiting outside in the cold for the doors to open and keeping warm and happy with herbs and beer and wine and each other.
Magid and Wood continued their leisurely dinner. They still had plenty of time before the Who would come on, which would actually be about twenty minutes after the scheduled starting time of eight p.m., because the band would be preceded by clips from the film Quadrophenia. Cal Levy, who runs Electric Factory's Cincinnati office, cruised the aisles. Things looked okay to him. He had noticed at about 1:30 that afternoon that a large crowd was congregating around the main entrance – two banks of eight glass doors each, situated in a large "V," Levy had found coliseum operations director Richard Morgan and asked him to put into effect a special security procedure they sometimes used, which was to station guards at ramp entrances and allow only ticket holders onto the plaza at the main entrance, thus eliminating the gate-crashing element. The coliseum's entry level – the concourse and plaza – is reachable only by a bridge from adjacent Riverfront Stadium, where most people park, and by ramps from street level. There were no police on the spacious plaza at 1:30. Levy suggested to Morgan that some should be there. Sixteen arrived at three p.m. and by four there were twenty-five. The coliseum hires off-duty police to patrol the outside, and for security within the coliseum employs guards from the Cincinnati Private Police Association.
At about 6:30, lieutenant Dale Menkhaus, who headed the twenty-five-man detail outside, decided that the 8000 or so people who were now packed around the banks of doors were beginning to present a problem. The doors weren't scheduled to open until seven, but the crowd could hear the Who conducting its sound check and wanted in. It was thirty-six degrees and the wind coming off the Ohio River made it feel much colder. Menkhaus later said he told Levy and Morgan to open some doors; Levy told him the doors couldn't be opened till the sound check was over. Menkhaus was also told there weren't enough ticket takers. Morgan, as is the case with all coliseum employees, has no comment.
At seven p.m., the Who left the stage. No one inside the coliseum knew that while they ate dinner and conducted business as usual and waited until the appointed time to admit the "animals," just outside those front doors the horror had already begun, a horror under a full moon, a horror of chilling magnitude that will probably never be fully explained.
On June 28th, 1976, a young man named Richard Klopp sat down to his typewriter in his apartment on Auburn Avenue in Cincinnati. He was slow to anger but he was angry. That morning he had gone out bright and early to buy tickets to see Neil Young and Stephen Stills at the coliseum. He got to Ticketron an hour ahead of time because he wanted good seats, only to find that tickets were sold out because they had gone on sale three days before the date advertised by Electric Factory. Klopp was already unhappy about the last two Electric Factory shows he'd been to, so he just said, "By God, I'll send them a concerned citizen letter" – and just to be sure they didn't just blow him off as some rock druggie, he decided to send carbon copies to the city council, WEBN, Ticketron and to the Cincinnati public-safety director.
He wrote: "The two concerts that I have attended (the Who and Paul McCartney) were both sold out on a 'festival seating' or general-admission basis. What this means for the promoter is more money; for the concertgoer . . . this means that he'll probably have to sit in the aisles or on the floor . . . jeopardizing his safety and the safety of others. If a fire or general panic were to break out, many, many people would be trampled to death . . . Because civil people like to avoid these kinds of conflagrations, many concertgoers make a point of arriving at the coliseum two, three, and even four hours before the doors are 'scheduled' to open. At the Paul McCartney concert, for example, I arrived at 5:30, two hours before the doors were to open. After a span of two hours, several thousand people had congregated on the plaza in front of the doors. When they were finally opened (a half-hour late) the mass of people pressed forward, literally crushing those by the doors. . . . This is what happens when tickets are sold on a 'festival seating' basis, and it is no festival."

Cinnamon is one of the most anti-oxidant rich herbs on the planet. It has been revered by nearly every culture for centuries for its sweet taste and pleasant aroma. Cinnamon has been shown to have remarkable medicinal qualities that enhance blood sugar signaling, reduce inflammation, stimulate immunity and promote neurological health.
Cinnamon is naturally attained from the inner bark of a specialized family of trees with the genus name Cinnamomum. It is available in a dried tubular form known as a quill. Cinnamon has a long history as a spice and as a medicine.. The two varieties of cinnamon, Chinese and Ceylon, have similar flavor, however the cinnamon from Ceylon is slightly sweeter, more refined and more difficult to find in local markets.

St Mary's Abbey, Melrose is a part ruined monastery of the Cistercian order in Melrose, Roxburghshire, in the Scottish Borders.
It was founded in 1136 by Cistercian monks on the request of King David I of Scotland, and was the chief house of that order in the country, until the Reformation. It was headed by the Abbot or Commendator of Melrose. Today the abbey is maintained by Historic Scotland.
The east end of the abbey was completed in 1146. Other buildings in the complex were added over the next 50 years. The abbey was built in the Gothic manner, and in the form of a St. John's cross. A considerable portion of the abbey is now in ruins, though a structure dating from 1590 is maintained as a museum open to the public.
Alexander II and other Scottish kings and nobles are buried at the abbey. The embalmed heart of Robert the Bruce is also said to rest on the abbey's grounds, while the rest of his body is buried in Dunfermline Abbey. In 1812, a stone coffin that some speculated was that of Michael Scot, the philosopher and "wizard", was found in an aisle in the abbey's south chancel.
The abbey is known for its many carved decorative details, including likenesses of saints, dragons, gargoyles and plants. On one of the abbey's stairways is an inscription by John Morow, a master mason, which says Be halde to ye hende ("Keep in mind, the end, your salvation"). This has become the motto of the town of Melrose.
An earlier monastery was founded by, then later dedicated to, Saint Aidan of Lindisfarne shortly before his death in 651 at Old Melrose, then in the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Northumbria on a site about two miles (3 km) east of Melrose Abbey. Set in a bend of the river Tweed, a graveyard marks the site. St. Cuthbert, who grew up nearby, trained there and later was prior from 662 before he was moved to Lindisfarne (Holy Island). It was raided by Kenneth I of Scotland in 839.
King David I wanted the new abbey to be built on the same site, but the Cistercians insisted that the land was not good enough for farming and instead selected the current site. It is supposed to have been built in ten years. The church of the convent was dedicated to St. Mary (like all Cistercian houses) on 28 July 1146. The abbey became the mother church of the order in Scotland. A town slowly grew up around the abbey. In 1322 the town was attacked by the army of Edward II and much of the abbey was destroyed. It was rebuilt by order of King Robert the Bruce, with Sir James Douglas being principal auditor of finance for the project.[1] The King's embalmed heart, encased in lead, was later buried in the church following its return from crusade with the dead Lord Douglas in either 1330 or 1331.
In 1385 the abbey was burned by the army of Richard II of England as he forced the army of Robert II of Scotland back to Edinburgh. It was rebuilt over a period of about 100 years—construction was still unfinished when James IV visited in 1504.
In 1544, as English armies raged across Scotland in an effort to force the Scots to allow the infant Mary, Queen of Scots to marry the son of Henry VIII, the abbey was again badly damaged and was never fully repaired. This led to its decline as a working monastery. The last abbot was James Stuart (the illegitimate son of James V), who died in 1559. In 1590, Melrose's last monk died.
The abbey withstood one final assault—some of its walls still show the marks of cannon fire after having been bombarded by Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War.
In 1610, a portion of the abbey's church was converted into a parish church for the surrounding town. This involved the insertion of a plain vault into the crossing, which obscured the original ribbed vaulting. It was used until 1810 when a new church was erected in the town.
In 1996 an archaeological excavation on the site unearthed a conical lead container and an engraved copper plaque that read "The enclosed leaden casket containing a heart was found beneath Chapter House floor, March 1921, by His Majesty's Office of Works"; the lead container was not opened, but it is assumed that since there are no records of anyone else's heart being buried at Melrose that it was indeed the heart of Robert I. The container was reburied at Melrose Abbey on 22 June 1998. A plinth was unveiled on 22 June which covers the burial site of the container.
The abbey is built in the form of St. John's cross, of the Gothic style of architecture, and is 258 feet (79 m) in length; the breadth 137-1/2 feet; and 943 feet (287 m) in circumference. A considerable part of the principal tower is now in ruins; its present height is 84 feet (26 m). There are many very superb windows; the principal one at the east end (which is the top nave of the cross,) appears to have been more recently built than the others, and is 57 feet (17 m) in extreme height, and 28 feet (8.5 m) wide. It has been ornamented with statues, &c. The beauty of the carved work, with which the abbey is profusely decorated, is seldom equalled.
There are in the external view of the building 50 windows, 4 doors, 54 niches, and above, 50 buttresses. The abbey was much injured by the English in 1322 and 1384. Richard II made it a grant in 1389, as some compensation for the injuries it had sustained in the retreat of his army. It was also greatly defaced by Protestants during the Reformation.
There were 100 monks, without including the abbot and dignitaries. The last abbot was James Stewart, natural son of James V, who died in 1559. The privileges and possessions of the abbey were very extensive, and it was endowed by its founder, David, with the lands of Melrose, Eildon, and other places; the right of fishery on the Tweed; and succeeding monarchs increased its property. In 1542, the revenue of the abbey was, "£1758 in money, 14 chalders nine bolls of wheat, 56 chal. 5 bolls of barley, 78 chal. 13 bolls of meal, 44 chal. 10 bolls of oats, 84 capons, 620 poultry, 105 stone of butter, 8 chal. of salt, 340 loads of peats, and 500 carriages;" besides 60 bolls of corn, 300 barrels (48 m3) of ale, and 18 hogsheads of wine, for the service of the mass: a large quantity for the entertainment of strangers; £4,000 for the care of the sick; and £400 to the barber. These were given up at the commencement of the reformation in 1561. The lands were either seized by the crown, or divided amongst the nobles. A large portion fell into the hands of the Scotts of Buccleuch.
Melrose Abbey in 1800 when part of the abbey was still in use as the parish church.[2]

3 thoughts, two of which won't be news to you:
- Who made you more nervous as closer Matt Capps or Eddie Guardado?
- Larger number at season end: Josh Willingham home runs or errors?
- Does anyone else think Jamie Carrol is Peter Dinklage's twin?

Supervisor Bob Buster and his highly paid political consultants have chosen to insult our intelligence by mailing out pure pulp fiction to our homes regarding the 20-year incumbent's opponent, Assemblyman Kevin Jeffries (R-Lake Elsinore).
After 20 years in office, Buster fails to comprehend the most basic legislative process and procedures in Sacramento. Buster denies casting a deciding vote for the County to endorse the Governor's re-alignment program in March of 2011, which has resulted in the early release of thousands of convicted criminals into our community. Buster's vote is there as big as Bubble Up in the public record for everyone to read.
Buster attacks his opponent over abstaining on votes. Yet at the Board of Supervisors meeting on October 16, 2012, Bob Buster ABSTAINED on taking a public position against Prop 30, which, if passed, is a TAX increase on all of us. WOW Bob, don't your campaign signs state, "Protecting Taxpayers?"
Enough of these unethical attacks over 20 years, an overblown salary, and obscene six-figure pension for life on OUR dime. We will no longer be fleeced by snake-oil salesmen. Pack your bags Bob, we are evicting you from your office as of November 6, 2012.

This is a good dessert - the picture on this recipe is a little deceiving...it's not a trifle...it must be baked in a 9x13 pan. Otherwise, great stuff. Best on the 1st day. Crust can get a little soggy. To stop strawberry mixture from running into cream cheese - refrigerate *well* after adding cream cheese layer and before adding strawberry layer.
This is the best pretzel salad from this site. For some reason the ingredient measurements are perfect and they work. Delicious. Thanks for the post.
I had a similar recipe years ago and had lost it and missed it. When I found this I made it for my family at Thanksgiving. My boyfriend ate about 1/3 of it before we even got to my Mom's house. I had to make it a second time that weekend. I also do frozen raspberries with raspberry jello, and I found I prefer pretzel crumbs to crushed pretzels with bigger pieces. I now crumb them in the blender. I also think the 1/3 less fat than cream cheese neufchatel cheese is better tasting in this than cream cheeses (and I by far generally prefer cream cheese)

Cumbria counts the cost of flood chaos
Last updated at 12:29, Monday, 25 June 2012
A company that bounced back after coming within minutes of financial collapse is now facing a major clean-up operation.
Related: Storms bring flood chaos to Cumbria
High-end fabric print factory Stead McAlpin at Cummersdale was filled with sludge and filthy water when the River Caldew broke its banks on Friday, causing hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of damage and leading to lost production time.
Manager Mark Bradley described the flooding as the "worst thing" that had happened in his 20 years at the factory. "I felt like Canute holding back the waves", he said. He also claimed that the city's flood defences appeared to have moved the problem upstream, channelling water to a head at the factory.
But the Environment Agency said: "The Lakeland fells, which feed the River Caldew, experienced a month's worth of rain over the weekend. This resulted in the highest recorded flood levels on the River Caldew as it passes through Carlisle, half a metre higher than those recorded in 2005.
"The flood defences, which end at Holmehead Weir, protected around 3,500 people in Carlisle. Upstream from this sits a natural flood plain, on which the Stead McAlpin factory is situated. Sadly the factory was affected by these unprecedented floods and we were able to work with them over the weekend to warn them of the flooding and keep them informed."
Loss adjusters are due to come to the factory today to assess the extent of the damage to machines and textiles.
The factory floor was yesterday covered in silt, stinking mud and fabric dye.
However, with staff working hard to rinse away the silt and load up skips, Mr Bradley hopes the factory will be operational within a week.
"But I don't have a crystal ball" he added.
The extent of the damage to the textile machines will only become clear when they are tested later today.
The main priorities, he said, were cleaning the factory and getting the electrical team in to test the motors.
Staff had worked through the night to salvage that millions of pounds worth of high-end fabric, placing out of reach of the floods. And Stead McAlpin was not the only major casualty of the floods.
For Carlisle residents, rising river levels awakened flood fears and memories of 2005 when large parts of Denton Holme were inundated.
Pamela Daniels, 73, of Milbourne Street said her house had been flooded up to her windows in 2005 and had to be rescued by boat from out of her front door.
City councillor Elsie Martlew, whose house is on the river bank, praised the city's £30 million flood defences. She said: "The river was over the wall on the Caldew Maltings but the flood defences protected the properties down there.
"More water came down [the Caldew] than in 2005.
"The flood defences were essential to the houses and industries in Denton Holme and in Caldewgate.
"They worked marvellously, it was remarkable.
"Staff from the Environment Agency came around in the early hours of Saturday morning and erected all the flood barriers so we were 100 per cent protected."
She added that major employers McVitie's, which were flooded in 2005, and the site of the new Sainsbury's had also been protected. But the area did not escape unscathed.
On Devonshire Walk a retaining wall on the railway line collapsed when the Caldew was in spate, bringing down a stanchion which fell into the river. Mrs Martlew said she had been concerned that it could have broken the mains sewer pipes. The stanchion is embedded in the river at an angle. Councillor Martlew added that it was now up to Network Rail to retrieve or secure it before any damage was done.
It is also understood that Bog Bridge leading up to Breconhill at Raughton Head has been completely swept away.
The weather also caused disruption to rail services.
Trains between Maryport and Carlisle were still suspended this morning due to flooding at Wigton and Dalston.
Network Rail had put on a replacement bus service, with hours taking up to an hour longer than usual. Trains north of Carlisle have resumed a normal service after they were cancelled due to flooding. But this may not be the end of the flood nightmare, forecasters have warned, with flash flooding expected in central and northern areas. Although the week will get off to a dry start, torrential downpours to return on Thursday.
With much of the ground already saturated after a month of wet weather, the flood risk will be even higher when the rains return, forecasters have warned.
They have also predicted that this could one of the wettest Junes on record.

Have your say
Janice, I live in a flood zone and managed to get very competetive insurance via a broker in Carlisle. I moved into the property after it had flooded so had no existing cover to rely on but it wasn't a problem once the broker became involved.
Malcom- it is a waste of time asking for a flood certificate. All insurers are interested in is are you in a flood risk area. My post code is and even though I have never claimed and my property has never flooded I am unable to get insurance other than renew with my existing provider. I am now paying three times more than I did 7 years ago even though I have the maximum no claims. The insurers have various different criteria such as not insuring properties that are a mile within flooded properties or not insuring those properties that are less than 400metres from a river. None of the insurers give two hoots if you have flood defences protecting you. I would have no issue with a big flood excess as I know the chances of my property flooding are slim. But every insurer I have contacted (quite a few!) just refuse to provide a quote. Would love to know how others classed as 'flood risk' are managing to get insurance.

Fly borne disease affects Missouri deer population
On this week's show, we'll hear about how the drought is affecting Missouri's deer population, and hear a profile from the Harvest Public Media series My Farm Roots.
Most of Missouri is still experiencing extreme drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. That's affecting not only crops, but wildlife as well. KBIA's Gina Cook reports on how the drought is affecting an important source for recreation and food in Missouri: deer.
Also, we'll hear a story from My Farm Roots. That's a series from Harvest Public Media that showcases stories and memories of rural life, as told by farmers. Reporter Hilary Stohs Krause picks up the story.

If there is a video poker game we havn't seen, where not doing our job right.
WinningIn Aces and Faces and in many video poker variants, you should never break up a winning combination. like we see on www.bigthings.com.au
CombinationsIf you don't have a winning combination, then it is logical that you exchange the five cards with new ones.
High CardHowever, you can also keep the highest card in your dealt hand since a high pair can give you a payout in the end.
Video poker is a strategy-based game where your main goal is to obtain a hand with a winning combination as specified in the payout table. These winning combinations are usually ranked and the highest gives out the most payout. In some cultures video pokies is referred to as online pokies, in Australia this is the common term.
In most video poker games, you are initially dealt five cards and you have to decide which cards you keep and which cards you discard. The cards you decide to discard are replaced with fresh ones from the deck when you draw again. The decisions you make about your cards ultimately determine the outcome of the round. This casino game has many variants offered across online casinos. For each one, different strategies must be employed since rules and mechanics may differ with each.
Even with different strategies that must be implemented for each variant, the fact that there exists an optimal strategy for each hand dealt to you holds true. This optimal strategy usually specifies which cards you should keep with you (hold) and which you discard. It is also usually based on each poker variant and its payout table. Since video poker is played with strategies, you can decrease the house edge and put the game on your favor once you play with optimal strategy.
Specifically, the house edge would then only range from 1% to 2%. Since this is so, it can be concluded that the average payout percentage is from 98% to 99%. However, this average payout percentage lowers when you do not play the game with the best strategy possible. Even though the best way to play a video poker variant is to learn the rules, mechanics and the best possible strategy, doing such can get pretty tiring. This is especially if you are playing different video poker variants at a time. This is because, as mentioned, different strategies need to be employed for different poker variants.
So to address this issue, some casino software developers have begun to release poker variants where the optimal strategy is built into the game's program. Usually, this built in optimal strategy are implemented such that the cards in your hand that should be kept (in accordance to the strategy) are automatically held in place. In turn, you are then playing the best strategy for your hand in that particular variant like the ones found on onlinepokiesaustralia.com.au.
Such a feature is called the Auto Hold. This is a big advantage for you and a big disadvantage for the casino. Thus, the respective casinos which implement such feature usually stipulate a second payout table that offers lower payouts. This second payout table are applied whenever you employ the Auto Hold feature. It is then only prudent that you are given the option whether you would like to play the game using the optimal strategy. Since you are given a choice, you must consider whether such feature is advantageous or not. If you know the best strategy for a particular variant, then it be best not to activate this additional feature. But if not, then it is advisable that you activate Auto Hold. This is because the money that you would lose while playing without the best strategy is definitely more than what you would lose when you play in accordance to the second payout table.
Video poker is known for having different types of games that are similarly offered in different online casinos. For example, most reputed online casinos offer a version of the Jacks and Better video poker type. The difference in each is that the payout tables constructed by each online casino stipulates different payouts for different winning combinations. This means that every strategy you used effectively in that video poker type in one casino has a high chance of working in the same type in another casino. If dealing with different types of video poker, however, the strategies you have adopted in one video poker type are not usually applicable to any other type. One such video poker type is the Aces and Faces game. This game is based on the standard five-card draw poker where the lowest ranked winning combination is a jack pair. This means that you can get a payout once you obtain a combination such as the one mentioned. Once your initial hand of five cards is dealt, you can choose which cards you want to keep and discard the other ones. If you decide to discard a number of cards from your hand, then that same number is dealt to you again when you click on a Draw button. As was mentioned, each winning combination pays out a specific amount as stipulated in the payout table. The combinations with their corresponding payout amount according to one online casino (when the bet amount is 1 coin) are listed below from lowest ranked to highest ranked:
- Jack pair - 1 credit
- Two kinds of pair - 2 credits
- Three of a kind - 3 credits
- Straight - 4 credits
- Flush - 5 credits
- Full house - 8 credits
- Four of a kind values (2 to 9) - 25 credits
- Four of a kind royalties - 40 credits
- Straight flush - 50 credits
- Four of a kind aces - 80 credits
- Royal flush - 500 credits
Although each online casino implements different payouts for each of the hands listed above, the pattern and difference are pretty much the same. The royal flush winning combination has the highest ranked and is said to pay out the jackpot of the game. To illustrate a strategy you can adopt in this game, imagine that you are dealt an initial hand that consists of a nine, a ten, a king and two ace cards. Since you already have a payout that you can receive from the ace pair, you must keep the two and try for 3 new cards. You can either get a new pair, a three of a kind or if you are lucky, four of a kind.

In part two of our interview with writer C. Robert Cargill and Sinister writer/director Scott Derrickson (you can read part one here), we pick up with the publication of Cargill's recent novel Dreams & Shadows.
FEARnet: What's the status of the film option on Dreams & Shadows?
C. ROBERT CARGILL: Nothing as of yet. It wasn't on a lot of folks' radar because I'm still a debut writer. I think there's also that assumption, since I'm a screenwriter who has something out that was successful, that the option to it is long since taken. So people are thinking that we probably already have that in development with someone somewhere. At this point nobody's done anything with it.
It is cinematic in terms of its setup?
SCOTT DERRICKSON: No question. There's definitely a movie in it... there's a movie in it, there's a TV series in it. The conversation I remembered having with Cargill after reading the first full manuscript of it, because the first thing I read was just the first three chapters, and that was when I said "This could be made. This could be very special." But I remember calling him after reading all of it and saying, "What I have been waiting for is for a fantasy writer who can write in the way that somebody like Neil Gaiman can write, but with tighter narrative, with a tighter structure and more complex narrative." That's what this is. Too often for me fantasy writing gets lost in the description; it becomes too padded and too dispersed in the way that it feels. Some people love that; some people read fantasy because they love all of that.
I get tired of all fantasy stories being three fat books long. Why can't the author just write a nice tight novel?
DERRICKSON: In this case it's not just a novel, but even as a novel regardless of genre, it's unusually tight. It's unusually streamlined.
Do you think a lot of that came from writing the screenplay, which forces one to tighten up?
DERRICKSON: No, because he did this first.
But it wasn't finished.
CARGILL: No, where that came from was from being a film critic for ten years and having watched so many films. I'm a voracious reader, but I'm also a voracious film-watcher. I'm always either reading something or watching something. It was essentially me fusing my love of writing and my love of literature with my love of a good tight narrative.
Is it plot-driven, or character-driven?
CARGILL: A little bit of both. It's very much the characters that drive the plot, which I believe is what any good story is. The plot shouldn't drive the characters. The characters should drive the plot; that's what that is. Essentially there are these characters who make their choices and then the choices come back to haunt them. It's them dealing with those choices as a result. It's six-to-one or half dozen of the other in that respect.
So along with Neil Gaiman's book, which you brought up, is this kind of like playing in Clive Barker's playground?
CARGILL: You're actually the first person who has asked about that... Barker influenced me a lot as a child.
The very first book I read, I was eight years old, I read Firestarter. I had a huge crush on Drew Barrymore and I really wanted to see the new movie she was coming out in. We're the exact same age. My parents wouldn't let me see it. My aunt bought me a copy of Firestarter. I fell in love with it, so I tore through it. Then what happened was that over the next four or five years I tore through all of Stephen King. So all through elementary school and junior high I was reading Stephen King.
Then once I caught up on all the Stephen King, I needed to know what else there was to read. Well, King seemed to like this Clive Barker guy. So I tore through all of Clive Barker. Cabal was a big influential work for me; Cabal influences this a lot. I've actually unfortunately missed the touring restored version of Nightbreed. I really wanted to see it, because I'm a big fan of that stuff. But there is very much some Barker fantasy in here as well.
DERRICKSON: I would argue that this is the imaginative fantastical sensibility of Clive Barker with Stephen King's storytelling prowess. Stephen King's language and his use of prose, the literary qualities of the reading are fine, but they're nothing special; it's great storytelling always, and the opposite is true with Barker. He's like our modern Edgar Allan Poe. The language itself is the art.
And Gaiman is kind of in-between there.
DERRICKSON: Right. To me this has the piercing storytelling of somebody like Stephen King, but with the bigger imagination and fantastical fresh quality of somebody like Clive Barker.
CARGILL: Could we find another titan to compare me to? Because I don't think I've been over-inflated enough.
You're standing on some large shoulders. Now, you guys are doing other screenplays, other projects together?
DERRICKSON: I'm not doing the remake of Poltergeist or The Birds. If anybody knows how to get those off of my IMDB page, please do. It's like the leading question on every interview I do: "So what's up with Poltergeist?"
So what project is closest to fruition that the two of you are working on?
CARGILL: Deus Ex. It's the adaptation of the videogame. As we keep telling everybody we're not making a video game movie, we're making a cyberpunk movie. Deus Ex is just really, really amazing cyberpunk. It's a rocket on rails; everybody's into it, everybody's digging it, everybody wants to move forward, everybody involved loves the property and works really well together. So that looks like it's coming. Then Scott's got something coming up as well.
DERRICKSON: I can't talk about it, but it is something that was written a while ago.
CARGILL: He's got a couple of, as we like to refer to them, children from a previous marriage, where there were a lot of things that were very close to his heart that he was working on before we started working on Sinister. When we sat down and talked, I didn't want him to kill those so that it could just be us working together. He needed to go off and do those things and get that out and do that. Then when he's done, he comes back and we work on other stuff together. So he's kind of clearing out that slate of really great stuff that he's got built up from beforehand.
DERRICKSON: We're just both so supportive of each other. I have nothing to do with this book except for...
CARGILL: ...Helping me find my voice.
DERRICKSON: ...for the story that we just told here. I'm the biggest champion of it that there is. I want him to keep writing, he should keep writing novels. I think because that's how we both feel about each other; I feel that way about him as a novelist and he feels that way about me as a director, and for that reason I think we are going to work together indefinitely.
