PUMA Fragrances – behind the scenes of the yellow & green photo shoot with Usain Bolt
Check out this video to see what happened behind the scenes of the PUMA yellow & green photo shoot! Photographers, Jeremy and Claire Weiss, spent a day in September 2011 in Miami with Usain Bolt capturing images of him setting off in the morning to spend the day with friends. These renowned photographers, who excel in shooting natural light, captured perfectly the early morning sun as it streams through the trees, washing over the friends and glinting on the camera.

GLENS FALLS, N.Y. – Elise Stefanik won the Republican primary in District 21 Tuesday.
Stefanik was running against Watertown investment manager Matthew Doheny to fill the seat left vacant after Democratic Congressman Bill Owens retired.
Stefanik is a vice president for her family's plywood company and a former White House staffer. The 29-year-old spent the past several days campaigning and encouraging people to get out and vote.
"Requiring members of Congress to live by the same laws that they've passed," she said. "Pursuing fundamental tax reform to help our small businesses grow, reducing the regulatory burdens facing small businesses. So I'm excited to have run an issue-based campaign, and I'm hoping to do so in the general election as well."
The 21st district is known as the North Country district. It is comprised of Fulton, Warren, Washington and parts of Saratoga County.

Toledo Police say 27-year-old Dimitrias Austin Graves is wanted for the Wednesday night shooting on Spring Street that left one woman dead and injured another.
When police responded to a call about a person being shot in the 600 block of Spring before 8 p.m., they found 22-year-old Mariah Wells in the front yard on the grass with a gunshot wound in the abdomen. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police believe some type of argument may have started the incident, in which another woman was injured and sent to the hospital. However, a bullet only grazed her, and she has since been treated and released.
Investigation led to a murder warrant issued for Graves.
Graves is described as a black male standing 5'7'' and weighing 142 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes. He should be considered armed and dangerous.
If you have information on his whereabouts, call Toledo Police at 419-245-3142 or CrimeStopper at 419-255-1111.

An Australian newspaper reports that a Dutch amateur has been monitoring and Twittering about the Libyan military campaign, specifically an operation. The article starts:
A DUTCH ham radio operator has been able to learn about a psychological US special forces operation undertaken as part of an international military campaign designed to establish a no-fly zone over Libya.
Listening to his radio, this ham operator from the Netherlands was able to monitor radio exchanges between civilian and military flights in the region and make his findings public on his Twitter account @FMCNL.
Hunched over his radio, he listens in on unencrypted exchanges among military aircraft and their air traffic control centres.
The messages contain information about the location of the planes, which is necessary to avoid collisions between military and civilian aircraft.
You can read the entire article at http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/ham-operator-reveals-us-psyops-broadcast/story-e6frfku0-1226025610252#ixzz1HKwuV0Ur.
IW5EDI lists some of the HF frequencies used in the campaign, including:
- 4169 kHz
- 4196 kHz
- 6690 kHz – Several players over No-Fly Zone
- 6688 kHz – French Air Force
- 6712 kHz – Mixed Use; Several Players
- 6761 kHz – Global Aerial Refueling Operations
- 6877 kHz – Reported PsyOps
- 5368 kHz – Libyan GMMRA ALE Network
- 6884 kHz – Libyan GMMRA ALE Network

- 10125 kHz – Libyan GMMRA ALE Network
- 10404 kHz – Libyan GMMRA ALE Network
- 9031.0 kHz USB – RAF frequency… very active while writing.
He notes, "I've found these frequencies mentioned on some yahoo groups dedicated to milcom (military radio communications), but we know that all important communications are encripted and use satellite. So dont' expect to hear any interesting communication."

Country Base: USA
Industry/Sector: Business and Professional Services, Branding Consultants
Below: Before and After Images in Slide Show, Summary, Credits
Industry Setting
At Onyx, we help our clients tell their story through creative imaging, business strategies and solutions. We figure, talk is cheap, theres no better way to show our process than rebranding ourselves.
We are dedicated to helping our clients navigate the ever-changing landscape of todays marketplace. We understand that in todays economic climate, consumers are increasingly skeptical. Strong graphics are an important element when branding a company, organization or individual. Creating something thats timeless and relevant without falling into the current design trend that can quickly go out of style (though it might flirt a bit with trendys cousin, vanity) is a balancing act. The best way to show everyone what we are capable of is with our own brand and website. Our challenge was to create a fresh brand and website to show everyone that we practice what we preach.
Out with the old, in with the new. We wanted something fresh, something strong, something sexy. Our image needed to reflect the sound and feel of how we are evolving. Although our old brand was sleek and elegant, our new stuff needed to be visually attractive and friendly. Along with our new brand we needed to upgrade our website. Creating one that let our work speak for itself, a website that gives back to the industry we love so much!
Launched in September 2010, the feedback has been phenomenal. This rebrand will propel our growth into an international market and fan base.

Cramer Quick Take: CAT Has Nowhere to Go But Up
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Sometimes a company can set the base so low there's nowhere left to go but up.
Those were Jim Cramer's thoughts to Debra Borchardt at TheStreet.com Monday. He said if this was 2012, the markets would have pulverized shares of Caterpillar (CAT) after such disappointing results. In 2013, that's all changed.
Cramer explained that in today's market, investors are operating on the premise that the world is moving to a better place, and that means negatives can be ignored as investors focus on the promise of the positives."It's a very forgiving market," said Cramer, who admitted that even he would have a hard time building a short case for a stock that has fallen so low.

As with many developing economies, the PR industry in oil-rich Oman has come on apace in recent years.
As Hannah Naji, marketing director at Jaguar Land Rover for the Middle East & North Africa observes: "There is definitely an increased understanding of PR in Oman with clients better appreciating the role it has to play and how it can deliver against business and communications objectives."
However, it remains primarily limited to media relations and stuck in outdated practices. Naji continues: "PR in Oman is almost entirely media relations. Few clients even consider consumer engagement activities, experiential programmes, sponsorships, stunts, social media, corporate social responsibility, issues and crises management, or internal communications. Furthermore most media still link advertising to editorial column inches and just cut and paste press releases from major advertisers."
There are though signs that this might be changing. Ghaya Mohd al Barwani, head of marketing & communications at Ahli Bank reports that following the unrest in the country at the start of 2011 several publications – most notably the Times of Oman – began relying less on press releases and more on finding their own stories.
"They're beginning to ask challenging questions of brands," she says. "While not everyone is happy about this, we're a young company with a dynamic leadership team and we welcome a media that makes editorial decisions based on reader interest as opposed to advertiser spend."
Fabric Recruitment
Up until 1970, Oman was almost completely closed to foreign visitors. Things have changed a lot since then and the country's education and tourism industries have improved a great deal. Expats are attracted to Oman for a number of reasons: a decent, tax free salary; sublime weather; low crime levels; good medical care; excellent private schools; and an easy lifestyle.
Visa requirements in Oman have been simplified over recent years, particularly as the current Sultan is keen to encourage the increase of tourism and international business.
To work in the country you have to be sponsored by an Omani company and it's illegal to work on a tourist visa
There are two main types of residence visa. The first allows you to live and work in Oman and relies on your employer acting as your 'sponsor'. Your employer will usually sort out all the necessary forms and other documentation for you before you arrive to take up your new role.
The other visa is for residency only and is usually for people who are being sponsored by a family member or spouse.
All visa applicants will be expected to provide a medical certificate that shows they're in good health and are free from HIV, AIDS and other STDs. Once you're in Oman, you'll be expected to carry your residence visa around with you at all times.
The most obvious setback to finding employment is the popular 'Omanisation programme'. The Omani authorities are extremely strict about employing foreigners and will scrutinise your qualifications and work experience. If it's decided that an Omani employee could just as easily do the job then your application will be rejected.
Long-winded bureaucratic procedures occasionally arise if you try to change jobs while in Oman. Job contracts tend to be open-ended, directly linked to visa stipulations and are designed to protect employers who have spent time and money bringing foreign workers into their country. Some contracts include six-month waiting period clauses that, in practice, mean the expat has to leave the country for six months before reapplying for a new visa.
The way to avoid this potentially irritating problem is to persuade your employer to provide what's known as a 'no objection certificate'. Rather than holding their foreign national workers hostage, many employers would rather provide the certificate than pay to send them back home.
The cost of living in Oman varies depending on the sort of lifestyle you wish to have and what sort of employment package you've managed to negotiate. Many companies offer free company accommodation, an annual accommodation allowance or an additional amount in your monthly salary to help pay the rent.
Although foreign nationals have recently been given the right to buy property on certain developments, very few of them have been completed, which means that renting is really the only option for expats. Some landlords expect a full year of rent to be paid for up front, which can lose you money if you decide to move house before the year is completed.
Average monthly rental prices for unfurnished homes (converted into equivalent US$):
Serviced apartments are also available and cost between 30% and 50% more than unserviced ones. They do however come with laundry, cleaning and bed-changing services so - if you can afford it - they offer a luxurious element to your home life.
Utility bills are your own responsibility, and can be much higher in summer months when air-conditioning units are needed almost constantly. Thankfully, electricity, water and gas costs are subsidised by the region's government, which owns the services. This is intended to aid locals and benefit the population as a whole. It's worth keeping track of your payments and receipts so that you don't get overcharged.
Other costs
The price of wines and spirits is slightly lower than in the UK and US but higher than average European prices. But, because of lower import duties, most electrical items - such as TVs, DVD players, camera equipment and computer hardware/software - are generally less expensive.
Don't forget to factor in the cost of buying or renting a car. Taxis are very expensive but, as you'd expect, petrol is extremely cheap so it's wise to procure your own transport.
The lure of the tax-free salary is, of course, huge. But don't be too blinded by it: you may still be required to pay taxes in your home country. Not only that, you'll still pay taxes on products such as pork, alcohol and tobacco as well as other 'hidden' taxes in the form of fees, tourism levies and service charges.
Also bear in mind that the Oman rial is linked to the US dollar and you may find that the recent currency fluctuations decrease the actual value of your salary when compared with what you'd be earning at home.
Lastly, some states impose a local tax (known as baladiya) on properties to cover expenses like refuse collection and road maintenance. Usually the owner of the property is liable for this cost but you may still find yourself paying it.
Oman mixes Bedouin traditions, diverse natural beauty and Arabian history to create a varied and stimulating culture. It is a predominantly Muslim country and expats should be aware that, as with other Muslim nations, this has an impact on every aspect of personal and professional life.
Most Omanis' follow the Ibadi sect of Islam - created as a result of one of the first divisions in the religion. Oman has, as yet, not been subjected to any of the militant Islamist violence that occurs in some of its neighbouring countries.
It's important to remain aware of the usual codes of conduct that apply to Muslim countries. For example, clothing should be conservative, particularly for women; behaviour should be polite and moderate; alcohol can only be consumed in licensed bars, restaurants and hotels; and pork products are prohibited.
However, Omani women are not as subservient or restricted as the women in some other Gulf countries. They're even increasingly being accepted into the workplace, although often after long battles with employers and on significantly lower salaries than their male counterparts.
The capital city of Muscat is considered to be rather beautiful and has a skyline that's decorated with golden minarets against a backdrop of brown mountains. The city is a delightful blend of old and new and is surprisingly green for a desert region. The roads are often lined with carefully maintained lawns, trees and brightly coloured flowers.
The older parts of the capital city retain a deep sense of history, with a profusion of Islamic architecture such as forts, castles, mosques and the Al Alam Palace. The Corniche, with its promenade and souks selling various local
spices and treasures is a real highlight of Muscat. The newer part is the location of many of the high-rise offices and business buildings. The wealth brought in by the oil industry has led to top quality developments and, subsequently, Muscat also boasts excellent new roads, elegant mosques, well-maintained parks, archaeological sites, museums, restaurants and 5 star hotels.
Schooling and medical care are both of a high standard and there's plenty to see and do in your free time. You can browse the souks for treasures, watch the popular sport of camel racing, go scuba diving, sunbathe on the long stretches of sandy beach or go turtle watching. And there's also the usual range of more common Western leisure facilities such as cinemas and shopping malls.
A good expat package in a good company in Oman is a golden opportunity to experience a different culture in a country where the sun always shines.
Print media dominates in Oman. In English the Times of Oman is the main paper and in Arabic it is Alwatan. Muscat Daily, which was founded in 2009, is also picking up readers.
There is very low use of television, but outside of Muscat papers are not always delivered every day, so Oman TV can be an important news outlet.
There are only three or four radio stations of any size: Hala FM, Al Wisal FM and Hi FM. Merge FM set up in June 2011 and with its Hindi music playlists is rapidly picking up listeners among the large Indian ex-patriate population.
Three brands that traditionally dominate editorial coverage are Oman Air, Oman Oil and the Ministry of Tourism, although this is gradually changing as brands like the Bank of Muscat and Ahli Bank invest in PR and multinational FMCG, telecommunications and automotive brands begin to establish a presence in the country.
In the financial sector multinationals such as HSBC and Standard Chartered have already established a strong presence.
Momentum PR, TRACCS Oman and Zeenah PR are the main agencies in Oman, but further development of the market is to a great extent held back by the tendency to develop in-house departments. The Bank of Muscat set up its PR department five years ago. Head of corporate communications, Mohammed Mubarak Al Hassani, says: "Back then it was rare for an Omani company to have a PR department. Those that did exist were closer to a human resources function."
He says he has struggled to find a suitable agency and has instead focused on building up an in-house resource. He explains: "In a previous role I used an agency that was based in Dubai and found they just lacked sufficient knowledge of the Omani market. So, we look for people with journalism degrees and train them ourselves. We frequently send them out to see how our target publications work. They spend some time there really understanding what journalists need and how to give it to them."
It seems likely that in the coming months and years more international groups will enter this growing market, and the nascent Omani PR industry will continue to mature.

"You feel a little sad because you know this is what people like to do in the summer time. It's starting to get hot now and people are wanting to come out and enjoy their weekends and enjoy the weekdays," Park Ranger Raef Perryman said.
Oologah Lake is used for recreation and drinking water but it was also designed to help with flooding problems.
"We are holding our water back and allowing rivers to go down so we aren't flooding houses down stream," Perryman said.
Perryman said their campgrounds and all but one boating ramp is open so you can still come out and enjoy the lake. But boaters need to watch out for debris in the water, such as sticks and logs.
Once the water does go back down, Perryman said they will have to inspect the area before people are allowed back on the beaches.
"We have a diver come out and inspect out beaches for safety as we open and that's something that we will have to do again as the water recedes," Perryman said.
The water is going down about a half a foot each day.

Remember this as you shop for must-have gadgets: You're buying far more than a box of circuit boards when you pick up a smartphone or tablet. You're setting path through the digital world, and turning back could be painful.
Companies are stepping up the range of content they offer exclusively to customers as a way to stand out. Apple offers a bevy of quality apps and music through its iTunes Store. Amazon touts access to its enormous online marketplace. Google offers seamless integration of mail and documents. But what people often don't realize is that each 99 cent app or $2 song sinks them deeper into a lasting relationship with a company.

In a sting operation, PPA officials took rides on SideCar and found the drivers were unlicensed.
Philadelphia Magazine's Victor Fiorillo was riding in a SideCar in an effort to review the service, which had recently launched in the city, when his driver got the call from a SideCar employee to pull over and drop off his passengers.
But the defiant startup has resumed operations, it tells Business Insider.
"SideCar is still operating in Philadelphia," spokesperson Margaret Ryan said.
SideCar CEO Sunil Paul just announced that three Philadelphia drivers had been cited and their vehicles impounded on the SideCar blog, but says that the company will attempt to "sort things out" with regulators.
SideCar operates with a mobile app similar to Uber, allowing people to call cars and drivers to their current location. But unlike Uber, which typically uses licensed taxi or limo drivers, SideCar allows ordinary car owners to sign up to drive passengers—whether or not they're licensed.
California's Public Utility Commission fined SideCar, Uber, and ZimRide, the maker of Lyft, another SideCar-like service, in October for operating without required licenses. But in December, the commission announced it would start investigating ride-sharing services, and in January, it entered into agreements with Uber and ZimRide.
It doesn't appear to have reached an agreement with SideCar.

The RadioRage is available to be downloaded from the Internet easily and helps users to access the local & Internet radio stations, industry news, song recommendation, etc quickly. However, some PC users find that upon finishing installing the RadioRage, the cursor just stayed stuck on that link when clicking on a music video. That is why lots of PC users want to uninstall it and turn to use other alternative app. If you are in the need to uninstall RadioRage, directly follow the steps here.
Basically, there are two ways available for you to get RadioRage off the computer: one is to uninstall it with the Windows built-in Add/Remove applet and the other one is to uninstall it with an advanced program uninstall tool. No matter which you use, do remember to be careful enough and do not remove un-associated entries; or it will bring in some unrepeatable damages to the computer.
1. How to remove RadioRage manually?
Just like other programs, the RadioRage application can be uninstalled quickly with the help of Windows package uninstaller. To start with, just follow the below steps:
1) Go to the Start Menu on the left bottom left of the computer screen.
2) Find and click on Control Panel.
3) Double click on Add / Remove Programs.
4) Then a whole list of programs & applications that are installed on your computer will appear. Find and select the RadioRage on the list and click "Remove".
5) Confirm that you want to uninstall the program by clicking "Yes" and follow the on-screen steps to finish the uninstall process.
This is how the Windows Add/Remove utility works to uninstall programs from the computer. However, sometimes the uninstall fails. It just fails by showing an error message, or by leaving download some files on your registry and on your hard-drive. If this happens, what do you need to do and uninstall RadioRage from your computer? You have to uninstall the program again or locate & remove all its related files/entries completely so as to ensure a complete RadioRage removal. But a mis-removal of a system required file during this process will dramatically crash your whole PC. Consider seriously before taking this approach!
2. How to uninstall RadioRage automatically?
The best option to safely & successfully remove RadioRage is to rely on an uninstaller tool which is designed to completely uninstall any application from the PC, either full or corrupted version. This way, the RadioRage will be removed from the PC within less than 3 minutes. A great program that does this job is called the Perfect Uninstaller and it promises to uninstall programs by completely finishing these 3 steps:
1) Uninstall the RadioRage application safely from the computer.
2) Scan both your registry and your hard-drive for any leftover entries.
3) When the scan completes, it will delete any found related files immediately.
How simple it is to uninstall RadioRage with Perfect Uninstaller! I came to use this uninstaller when having problems in uninstalling Adobe Download Manager. In addition to, compared with the Windows built-in uninstaller, this tool helps to ensure a stable running PC easily no matter which programs you have uninstalled from the PC.
So, in order to get rid of RadioRage completely, why not take a look at this powerful program uninstall tool? It is really the best option that you should use to uninstall any program completely & safely from the computer without affecting other Windows functions.

Community meeting for
Mount Eden Fire Department
A community meeting to update the public on the status of the Mount Eden Fire Department is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Mount Eden Christian Church Activity Center, located at 12240 Mount Eden Road.
The department's headquarters, several vehicles and all of its equipment were destroyed in a fire on Aug. 5. Officials will discuss how the community can assist with the situation.
The Kentucky State Fair starts Thursday and a new generation of young people are ready to carry Shelby County's history of success into a new generation.
"We have several kids showing [at the state fair] all across the board in different areas," said Regina Browning, 4-H agent at the Shelby County Cooperative Extension office. "They are entered in most all the livestock shows – beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, goats, pigs. We're pretty steady on the livestock entries."
A Shelbyville woman who is collecting signatures for a wet/dry election said she now has about one-fifth of the number she needs, and plans to step up efforts immediately.
"I have about one thousand; I need four thousand more by September fifth, that's three weeks," said Katie Sjothun.
Tuesday was the last day to file in a few offices for the 2014 General Election – the seats with filing dates this month were school board districts 1 and 4, Simpsonville City Commission, Simpsonville Mayor and four soil conservation seats.
The race for Board of Education seats got the most attention, with Alicia "Ali" Parham and R. Rusty Tipton both filing in District 4, Tuesday and Richard Baltzell in District 1 on Monday.
Kelland L. Garland also filed for Simpsonville Commission.
Just a little more than a week after announcing his plan to run for governor of Kentucky, Commissioner of Agriculture James Comer started his campaign trail in Shelby County.
Monday morning, a small crowd of about 30 Shelby County citizens gathered outside of W.J. Andriots Paint, Flooring and Blinds on Main Street in Shelbyville to hear the Republican candidate speak about his vision for Kentucky's future.
The Shelbyville City Council will finally introduce the curbside garbage and recycling request for proposals at its next meeting on Aug. 21.
Shelbyville City Attorney Stephen Gregory told the council during Thursday's regular meeting that he expects the RFPs to be ready for advertisement next week.
Gregory said that the committee has been working on the draft and after it has been reviewed and any necessary revisions made, the RFPs will be advertised to the public.
Seats were full and tensions were high Thursday night as more than a dozen members from Kentuckians for the Commonwealth and the Fairness Campaign attended the Shelbyville City Council meeting with an agenda of expanding discrimination laws to include members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.
However, those supporters again left the council meeting feeling frustrated and left out.
One might think a championship game was taking place Tuesday morning at the Collins High School gym. But it wasn't a game at all, it was employees excited to get back on the job after a two-month break.
And while many people may not be so enthused to return to work, Shelby County Public School's teachers and staff members gathered in the bleachers, sporting their school's colors, cheering and waving pom-poms and showing their excitement for the school year to come.
Overnight lane closures will be utilized this week to finish paving on a section of eastbound Interstate 64 in Shelby County, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet announced Tuesday.
A landmark church and several homes in Waddy escaped major structural damage Saturday when a water tower collapsed, spewing hundreds of thousands of gallons of water into buildings, uprooting trees and tossing large objects around like toys.
Tex Seph, pastor of Waddy Baptist Church on KY 395, said crews have been hard at work cleaning up debris from the church, which had eight inches of water in the basement, windows broken out, and a tree uprooted among other damage caused by the collapse of a 30-year-old water tower on the church grounds.

The 1st Halloween. I was probably 13 when I saw it for the 1st time, ON Halloween. That was a sleepless night, lemme tell ya.
And when I was 8, I saw Troll 2 and it freaked me out.
Gwy's thread made me think this...
Obviously not all of us are scared by every horror movies we've ever watched.
I'd like to know which movies scared the bejeezes out of you in the past.
In no particular order, here are some that scared me to death that I can remember at the top of my head (I think some are due to my younger age when I viewed them)
Nightmare on Elm St
Hellraiser II
The Gate
Blair Witch Project
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original)
Poltergeist II
Silence of the lambs
I'm sure there are tons more, but I'm drawing a blank
The 1st Halloween. I was probably 13 when I saw it for the 1st time, ON Halloween. That was a sleepless night, lemme tell ya.
And when I was 8, I saw Troll 2 and it freaked me out.
Halloween (the first one) scared the hell out of me.
And I was home watching it on tv...alone.
The night that Amityville Horror aired, there was that part of the movie where the father (priest) was blessing the house.
the sound in the movie cut right out. There was dead silence. It was deafening, and I was terrified.
Then, barely heard, you think you hear something speak
very quietly......
'get out'
Stupid me, assumed something was wrong with the speaker and cranked it all the way up and put my ear to the speak,
when the gutteral, unearthly voice rasps
I (literally) was blown out of the room.
I didn't move a muscle, but my whole body just constricted, and acted as one muscle and rebounded me out of the room.
It's funny now, but DAMN! i nearly shit my pants then.
(I was like, 9)
I saw some really good Asian horror movies lately.
-One Missed Call
-The Eye
-The Eye II
-The original Dark Water
When I was a little kid, though, nothing scared me so much as the Wicked Witch from the Wizard of Oz. Except maybe Chuckie from Child's Play.
House of a 1,000 Corpses
That's all I can think of right now. I'm not necessarily a fan of horror movies. I don't mind movies that scare per se but it's movies that kind of disturb me and that stick in my psyche afterwards that kind of interest me and bother me at the same time (if that makes any sense).
Thiller Video (hey, I was 8, OK? Led to my fear/hate of zombies)
Midnight Hour (I was 12)
Killer Klowns from Outer Space (Now it's one of my fav B-movies)
The Others (maybe I'll say why later)
Dawn of the Dead (remake)
The following had some good in-movie scares, but didn't stick with me after the credits:
Event Horizon
Blair Witch
The Ring
EDIT: What was the Kevin Bacon ghost story with the dead girl?
My 5th grade teacher showed us Amityville Horror (in 3D) to us in class. Afterwards, I couldn't be alone, even pee with the door closed for 3 months.
In my adult life, horror doesn't really interest or work for me.
Audition was something else, though.
The most recent horror film that scared me was The Decent (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435625/), but it wasn't the creature parts that did it. It was the claustrophobic scenes of the cave exploration. I never thought I was claustrophobic, but those scenes freaked me out.
Also the burried alive scene in Kill Bill freaked me out. Even though KB wasn't a horror movie that was a very scary scene.
I'm not really scared by monters or anything like that, it is the things that can really happen that freak me out.
Facebook ID: Doug Hahner
The original Night of the Living Dead traumatized me when I was a kid.
I also found moments in An American Werewolf in London quite frightening, especially David's nightmares.
The two little girls standing in the hallway in The Shining still freak me out.
The opening scene of Twilight Zone: The Movie, in which Dan Aykroyd shows Albert Brooks "something really scary," is really scary.
The Exorsist..I STILL wont watch that movie!

This is from a lifelong Washingtonian: Sept or Oct is the best time in DC. The weather is still warm yet cool at night, the residents of the city and suburbs are not on vacation, and the LEGIONS of school children are in their first month of school not along the Mall getting in everyone's way. The worst time to come: weather-wise is January and February (unpredicatable weather), and tourist-wise is May to August (school tourists in the spring followed by family tourists in the summer).

Mary Lloyd '01 knows what it means to be part of a tradition. A true R-MWC legacy, she was the fourth member of her family to graduate from the College. "I think my parents got a pink mini college application when I was born," says Lloyd.
Just as R-MWC was in her blood, so was the military— despite her attempt to deny it. "As military brats, my best friend and I swore that we would never join the military," she says. "We both ended up in at the same time!"
Lloyd followed in the footsteps of her grandfather and parents and joined the military upon graduating from R-MWC in May 2001.
She did shy away somewhat from the military path of her parents—both Army Judge Advocate Generals, commonly known as JAGs—and joined the United States Air Force instead of the Army. "My grandfather flew the P51 Mustang in World War II, so I always though it would be a great way to honor him," says Lloyd.
A four-year member of the WildCat soccer team, Lloyd played in 70 games while compiling nine goals and 19 points. She has many fond memories of her time as a student-athlete, including one experience she'll never forget. "Our head coach left the heat on full blast in the WildCat bus and a soccer ball blew up!"
On a more serious note, Lloyd realizes the positive impact that playing collegiate soccer has had on her life. "I think when you put a group of people together for extended periods of time under pressure, you learn a lot about yourself and others," she says. "While the military is much different from R-MWC, I grew so much during my time there, especially as a student athlete. Those experiences helped shape the person who I am today and the choices I make."
With both parents in the Army, Lloyd grew up all over the world. She has lived everywhere from Heidelberg , Germany , to Seoul , Korea . She started playing sports at a young age. "Playing on a team is a great way to make friends, especially when you move every couple of years," she says.
After graduating from R-MWC with a degree in psychology, Lloyd joined the Air Force and was on active duty for four years. She was stationed in both Dover , Delaware , and Cambridge , England , where she served as a security forces officer with a specialty in anti-terrorism. Her duties included leading and managing security operations and protecting personnel priority resources. At the conclusion of her Air Force stint last year, she earned her master's degree in forensic psychology from Marymount University in May 2007.
Lloyd is currently in Iraq , serving a six-month tour of duty that will end in mid-January. As an anti-terrorism officer, Lloyd explained that she develops threat assessments and provides guidance on vulnerability and deterrence capability. Upon her return from active duty, she will be taking over as the Security Forces Commander at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland.
Eventually, Lloyd would like to work for the State Department or the Federal Bureau of Investigation and possibly start a new family tradition—one for future generations of her family to follow.

CANTON, NY — Carl E. Hull has been taking care of buildings at St. Lawrence University (SLU) for the past 53 years. Last Friday, the 75-year-old turned in the janitorial keys he''s carried for more than five decades working as a custodian on a campus that''s expanded to more than 60 buildings, according to Watertown Daily Times.
The life-long Russell resident is believed to hold the record for being the longest-serving employee at SLU, according to university officials.
"I started May 22, 1957, and I''ve been here ever since," Hull said. "Finally, I just made up my mind that this was going to be it. It''s not that I can''t work any longer, I just want to get out and enjoy the rest of my life."
On his last day, his co-workers from the facilities department surprised him with a pizza party at Appleton Arena, the article noted.
Prior to SLU, Mr. Hull was employed by a contracting company that helped build the Iroquois Dam for the St. Lawrence Seaway project, the article stated.
According to the article, in retirement, Mr. Hull plans to work on his property, where he grows apples, grapes, raspberries and blueberries. He and his wife also maintain a vegetable garden.

signed, an ex-smoker who still believes that if it's legal it shouldn't be regulated to death.
A ban on smoking at the beach will likely include a need to raise the cigarette tax, to pay for enforcement and all. Of course, that would effectively grow government a little more, the underlying, primary goal in the 'shell game' we have representing us.
The bill is similar to current legislation in New York City, where smoking is also prohibited in shared public spaces. Violators of the ban will face hefty minimum fines of $250 if they are caught smoking in the newly restricted areas.
While the new law may seem extreme to some, smokers won't be completely shut out of their day-time nicotine fixes. After a recent amendment, the bill now allows for 20 percent of a beach or park to be designated as a smoking area.

Map Will Track Pancreatic Cancer Researchers, Studies, Funding Opportunities
On Nov. 8, NCI and the Pancreatic Action Network (PanCAN) launched the first phase of the Pancreatic Cancer Research Map (www.cancermap.org/pancreatic). "The map will enable the community to find and search a comprehensive list of research projects and open clinical trials relevant to cancer. It also aims to facilitate collaboration among pancreatic cancer researchers," said Cherie Nichols, who has headed the activity in NCI's Office of Science Planning and Assessment. In phase 1, NCI-sponsored projects, funding opportunities, and a database of pancreatic cancer investigators will be available. Similar information for nonprofit and private organizations will be added to the database during the next phase, which is expected to begin in the near future. Patients and their families can use the Web site to see what studies are underway and where investigations of interest to them are located.
"Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States," said Paula Kim, co-founder of PanCAN. "More than 31,000 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer every year, and it continues to be the cancer with the highest mortality. The map will enable researchers to find and search a comprehensive list of studies and projects relevant to pancreatic cancer."

Participants also noted the existing imbalance between the numbers of researchers in basic science and translational research, and suggested the development of a national strategy to shift the emphasis between these disciplines, including transforming individual and team reward structures. They noted that this will also require a cultural shift and reevaluation of grant review criteria and assessments made by review committee members. The Specialized Programs of Research Excellence program was mentioned as a successful model for structuring translational research efforts.

The Wizard of Oz (1939)
418 mistakes
Directed by: Victor Fleming
Starring: Bert Lahr, Billie Burke, Frank Morgan, Jack Haley, Judy Garland, Margaret Hamilton, Ray Bolger
Continuity mistake: During the sequence where Dorothy meets the Scarecrow, Dorothy's pigtails are first short (above her shoulders) and as the song progresses her hair gets longer (below her shoulders), then short, and then long again.
Revealing mistake: When the Lion is pulling up the Tin Man with his tail on the way to the castle, you can see a square block inside the Lion's costume to hold the tail on.
Continuity mistake: During the scene when Dorothy and Scarecrow are fighting with the trees, Scarecrow says "I'll show you how to get apples" and he gets hit by the apples. The very next scene if you quickly look at Dorothy's shoes, you can see that she is wearing black shoes, not her ruby slippers.
Continuity mistake: When trying to escape the Witch's castle, the big doors close, and the gang stands in a line and starts banging on the doors. Between shots Dorothy and the Tin-man switch sides.
Continuity mistake: When the Tin Man is attacked by six flying monkeys they take away his axe. Several seconds later he has it again.
Visible crew/equipment: Glinda sends Dorothy off saying, "Just follow the Yellow Brick Road" and Dorothy walks through the shadow of the camera's crane.
Character mistake: While singing the "If I Were King" song, the Lion asks, "What makes the Sphinx the Seventh Wonder?" The Sphinx is not one of the Seven Wonders of the World; its neighbour the Great Pyramid of Giza is. Besides, how would the residents of Oz know about our Seven Wonders of the World?
Audio problem: When Dorothy, Scarecrow, and Tinman are in the forest where they find Lion, the first time Dorothy says "Lions and tigers and bears, oh my" her mouth doesn't move at first but when the camera cuts to the next shot her mouth finishes the phrase.
Continuity mistake: When Scarecrow, Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion are marching into the Wicked Witch's castle after taking the guards' uniforms, all three of them are shown holding the same types of spears as the guards, so when they go rescue Dorothy out of the locked room and Tin Man chops through the door with his axe, where did the axe come from?
Revealing mistake: Soon after Dorothy slaps the Cowardly Lion, she looks as though she is about to laugh out loud. This happens about 10 seconds or so after the slap. She even tries to put Toto in front of her face to cover up her smirking.
Continuity mistake: In the scene at the Witch's castle, when the Scarecrow looks up at the candles hanging from the ceiling, the candles are lit, but when he chops the rope with the Tin Man's axe, and the shot is from above, showing the candles fall onto the men, they are not lit, but the next shot shows the candles on top of them and they are lit.
Continuity mistake: The Wicked Witch leaves Dorothy and runs to grab the hourglass. The mortar and pestle on the left of the hourglass disappear between shots.
Continuity mistake: The pole that the Scarecrow was on moves out in front of the corn at the end of the scene as Dorothy and the Scarecrow run off and sing, "We're off to see the Wizard".
Visible crew/equipment: When the Scarecrow says, " Did I scare you?" the camera's shadow can be seen on Dorothy's face.
Revealing mistake: When everyone is still in the poppy field, after the snowstorm, Dorothy says "Look. Emerald City is closer and prettier than ever." Look behind the Lion just as Dorothy says the word "City" and you'll see that the wire attached to his tail brushes over the top of some of the poppies, knocking the snow off.
Continuity mistake: Dorothy's hair is long and almost straight in some shots and short and curly when the camera pans back to her. This happens throughout the movie.
Continuity mistake: Immediately after Dorothy throws the water onto the witch, there is a long shot of the group as they observe the Wicked Witch beginning to melt. In this shot you can see that the Scarecrow's arm is still on fire, yet nothing is done about it as they all focus on the Witch. In the next full shot of the Scarecrow the fire is completely out.
Revealing mistake: When the Lion runs out of the Wizard's room, the group disappears because it is an obvious backdrop.
Visible crew/equipment: When Dorothy first walks on the pigsty the shadow of the boom mike can be seen moving on the bottom left of the screen.
Continuity mistake: Immediately following the Tin Man's dance, Dorothy and the Scarecrow try to keep the Tin Man standing on his feet and clumsily shuffle over to a tree trunk where the Tin Man then sits. During this, the oil can in Dorothy's basket clearly falls out and on to the Yellow Brick Road. Dorothy doesn't pick it up but, in the very next shot, the oil can is back in the basket.

Ancient History
Studying Ancient History offers students a wide range of units of study on the ancient Greek, Roman and early post-Roman and Byzantine civilisations. We look at the evidence for this world: literature; documents on stone, metal, clay, wood or papyrus; visual images; coins; and other material sources. We use various historical approaches to try to recover the past in a way that is meaningful to the present.
Please note: Mid-year entry for the Ancient History Honours subject area is not available.
The honours year
The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) year provides students who have qualified for, or been awarded, an undergraduate pass degree in the arts or humanities the opportunity to extend their potential in research. Students may continue to work in the area of their undergraduate study or undertake research in a different area. The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) focuses on establishing your individual research practise, further equipping you for employment or entry into the Master of Arts or Doctor of Philosophy programs.
Workload and assessment
The honours year in Ancient History consists of: 1. a thesis written under the supervision of one or more members of academic staff 2. two seminars that meet weekly for two hours for one semester. The thesis should be of 18,000-20,000 words in length. Each seminar requires 6,000 words of written work or it equivalent. The thesis is worth 50% of the final Honours mark and each of the seminars is worth 25%.

BioShock Infinite: Columbia's Finest DLC drops bonus items, not story
We're still waiting for the DLC that fleshes out Columbia's bloody history, but Irrational Games has released the "Columbia's Finest" DLC pack in hopes of fleshing out your inventory instead.
Putting $4.99 on the table will nab you six new Gear items, five extra lock picks, 500 Silver Eagles, and two weapon upgrades: Comstock's Eagle Eye Sniper Rifle and China Broom Shotgun.
Those of us who paid for the season pass in anticipation of Infinite's story-related DLC still need to pay for admission to the "Columbia's Finest" DLC package. This pack doesn't spin any narrative threads—it just gives people a chance to buy all the in-game pre-order bonuses in a single pack.
But what of those additional narrative threads? Well, according to Creative Director Ken Levine, they're still coming. Levine recently tweeted an update to address fan concerns:
DLC Update: We are working on it- have been since the game shipped. Things are going well, but plz understand: game development takes time.
— Ken Levine (@IGLevine) June 26, 2013
The term "Day One DLC" is downright toxic these days, and Irrational is answering everyone's requests by working on DLC after the original game has shipped. That pushes up the release date—a consequence many aren't too fond of either. Perhaps there's a nice middle ground between DLC development and post-launch release that has yet to be discovered.
Either way, it'd be nice to have some kind of release window for when the first piece of DLC falls from Columbia and into our laps, but I suppose we'll just have to refer to the one on Steam, which says all three add-ons will be available by March 2014.

Welcome to the workpage for Hugo Fjelsted AlrÝe
Hi! I am associate professor in philosophy of science and ethics at Aarhus University, working mainly in cross- and transdisciplinary research projects in the field of food, agriculture and environment.
In philosophy of science I place myself in the pragmatist tradition from Charles S. Peirce, inspired by later scientists and thinkers such as Niels Bohr, Gregory Bateson, Robert M. Pirsig and Niklas Luhmann. I work with a perspectivist framework in line with Ronald Giere's scientific perspectivism, but with a cross-disciplinary focus. Important theoretical fields in my work are Peircean semiotics, biosemiotics and social systems theory.
In ethics I am mainly inspired by Hans Jonas' ethics of responsibility, but also by Aldo Leopold's land ethic and more recent work in technological and environmental ethics. I focus on the ethics of knowledge and science and ethics in relation to societal, technological and ecological systems, including recent systemic ethical concepts such as sustainability, precaution and ecological justice.
I have a background in agricultural science and a PhD in systemic research methodology and ethics from 2001. In 2002 I founded the international online Organic Eprints research archive, which now contains more than 15000 research papers. In 2004–2005 I served as expert member of the global task force on rewriting the principles of organic agriculture. Currently I am project leader of the Danish transdisciplinary research project MultiTrust (www.multitrust.org), and Work Package leader in the crossdisciplinary EU research project HealthyGrowth (www.healthygrowth.eu). Since 2008 I have developed and taught the course in Philosophy of agricultural science at Aarhus University. Full CV below.
