Sugar Hill is a 1974 horror blaxploitation zombie film released by AIP. It starred Marki Bey as the title character who uses voodoo to get revenge on the people responsible for her boyfriend's death. American International Pictures had previously combined the horror and blaxploitation genres with Blacula (1972) and its sequel, Scream Blacula Scream (1973).
The story centers on Diana, a voodoo queen using zombies to take revenge on a group of white gangsters. With a former practitioner named Mama Maitresse, she intends on destroying the gangsters who killed her boyfriend and now want her club. Helping her out is the voodoo lord of the dead, Baron Samedi. The zombies in this film more closely resemble the creatures of voodoo legend - i.e., the walking dead who do the bidding of a human master - than the flesh-eating "living dead" ghouls popularized by George A. Romero. According to the film, the zombies are the preserved bodies of slaves brought to the United States from Guinea.[2]
- Marki Bey – Diana "Sugar" Hill
- Zara Cully – Mama Maitresse
- Robert Quarry – Morgan
- Don Pedro Colley – Baron Samedi
- Charles F. Robinson – Fabulous
- Richard Lawson[3] – Valentine
The film was shot on location in Houston, Texas at such locations as the Heights branch of the Houston Public Library (a historical landmark), used in the film as a "Voodoo Institute". Sugar Hill was the last film Robert Quarry did for AIP, after a run that included the Count Yorga movies. Also appearing in the film was Zara Cully, who played Mama Jefferson on the TV show The Jeffersons. Charles Robinson (credited as Charles F. Robinson), known for his role as Mac Robinson on NBC's Night Court, portrayed the character of Fabulous. Hank Edds created the makeup effects for the zombies in the film.[2]
Release and pop culture[edit]
The film was released theatrically in the United States by American International Pictures in February 1974.[4] It was cut to 83 minutes for television and retitled The Zombies of Sugar Hill.[5]
The film was released on VHS by Orion Home Video in 1996.,[6] and on DVD in October 2011 as part of MGM's Limited Edition series.[7]
Rapper MF Doom sampled several audio clips from the film under his alias King Geedorah on the album Take Me to Your Leader.
Writing in The Zombie Movie Encyclopedia, academic Peter Dendle called it "a humorously dated blaxploitation feature" whose zombies "represent a throwback to the classic zombie conceptualization of the '30s and '40s".[8] Adam Tyner of DVD Talk rated it 4 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Creepy, sexy, sleazy, and a borderline-surreal amount of fun, Sugar Hill is a perfect movie for a Halloween marathon and probably my single favorite blaxploitation flick, period."[7]

Right now, Kyle Busch has a 142-point lead in the Sprint Cup standings. While the field will be reset when the Chase for the Cup begins, catching Busch and his fantasy owners appears to be a daunting task for fantasy racing players, because in leagues like ESPN FSR, there won't be any chances to reset. All you can do is hope the rest of the team that owns Busch falls prey to a lot of misfortune the rest of the year.
Last season, it became apparent that most fantasy leagues were going to turn into a two-team race between owners of Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon. Yet we did get some brief flashes of championship promise from Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch. This year, however, there seems to be no one who can challenge Busch's overall dominance, and while there are still a lot of Cup events to go, there are no real signs Busch is going to slow down anytime soon or any other driver will become a strong contender. Busch has established himself above the rest of the field quite early this season, and hopes for non-Busch owners already have dimmed.
I know it's hard to reassure the many owners chasing Busch-led teams right now. But you have to hang in there, because you never know what is going to happen the rest of the way. Also, no matter how well Busch is doing, if your team has better balance than the one that owns Busch, you certainly shouldn't be giving up this early. If the team in first leans on Busch, Martin Truex Jr. and Casey Mears, that owner is not going to run away with the league. If you have a roster with, say, Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick and Ryan Newman, your season certainly is not over. Having drivers such as Brian Vickers and Travis Kvapil who have turned out to be sleepers can only help your overall cause.
What you really have to hope is that Busch's owners suffer a collapse around him on their rosters, and it's certainly possible. One driver cannot carry a fantasy racing team. If you have other drivers on your roster who have been disappointing so far this year, there were clear signs Sunday at Dover that a few guys are in the midst of rebound stretches. A turnaround from a guy who has been unreliable during the first half can only boost your overall outlook.
Greg Biffle finished third at Dover, a week after he finished second at Lowe's. Biffle now has five top-5 finishes and seven top-10 outings in 13 starts and is displaying the form that made him an elite driver in the past. Biffle has been inconsistent overall this season, but he is very capable of running up front often and can give you an edge in the standings as a No. 2 fantasy driver the rest of the way. I'd rather own Edwards and Biffle than, say, Kyle Busch and Kurt Busch right now.
Matt Kenseth's fourth-place finish was even more inspiring, especially when you consider how frustrated his owners have been to this point. It was only his second top-5 finish of the season, yet he has finished sixth, seventh and fourth in his past three races and is showing real signs of regaining his better form. Trades are rare in many fantasy racing leagues, but buy low on Kenseth now if you can. In salary-cap leagues, now is a great time to get him on your squad, before his price rises even more.
If you drafted Kenseth as your No. 1 driver, first place might seem very far away right now, but I'm sure not all his owners are buried in their league standings. Again, catching Busch's owner comes down to having better overall balance. Yet there also are teams that have been leaning on tandems of Kenseth and Kasey Kahne, for instance, and their seasons seem lost. For those owners, I recommend taking it one week at a time and finishing as best you can. Nothing ruins your fantasy credibility more than being an inactive owner. Don't leave Mark Martin in your lineup every week. Your leaguemates will notice, and you might not be invited back next season.
Most Gordon owners used a No. 1 overall pick on him this season and have yet to see their first win. Not all Gordon's owners are out of their league races yet, though, especially if their second and third drivers are solid guys. Gordon finished fifth at Dover, his third consecutive top-5 showing. Gordon's car hasn't looked like a top contender recently, but he has been smart and determined, and his team seems to be figuring out the issues that have led to disappointing finishes. It's just a matter of time before Gordon goes on a very strong run and pushes his owners forward in the standings.
Edwards owners can remain confident about their fantasy championship hopes, especially if their overall rosters are better than the Busch-led teams in their leagues. Ultimately, Edwards might be the one driver (unless Gordon goes on an extended run of dominance) who has a real prayer of challenging Busch for the Cup title while bringing his owners close to the top of their standings. He finished second for the second time in three races, and Edwards already has three wins, with more to come.
For owners of some other top drivers, Sunday at Dover was a downer, as an early wreck ruined the day of several prominent guys. Denny Hamlin ended up 43rd, yet his owners should not be too frustrated. In smaller FSR leagues, he remains an outstanding No. 2 driver and a key toward catching a Busch owner, especially if his No. 2 driver isn't nearly as strong. Hamlin will bounce back quickly.
Stewart finished 41st, and there have been no real signs of encouragement for his owners recently. It seems Stewart either runs well and then slams into bad luck, or he isn't a contender at all. Yet Stewart heats up in the summer, and you can't give up on him just yet. He's capable of busting out of a slump at any time and roaring back near the top of the standings, taking his fantasy owners on a joyride upward.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished 35th, and he can't seem to nail down that evasive, long-awaited win his fantasy owners and dedicated fans so desperately desire. Yet that seemingly elusive victory might come in the near future, and when it does, it can only give Earnhardt a boost of confidence that could lead to a string of some very impressive finishes. Let's just say I have a strong feeling that we have yet to see the best of Earnhardt in 2008.
Catching the team led by Busch certainly will not be easy, and in some cases, it already seems like a futile effort. Yet it certainly is not impossible, and even if Busch dominates the rest of the season, it's going to take more than just his efforts to carry a full fantasy squad. Overcoming Busch is an uphill battle, yet not impossible. Keep in mind, we're not even halfway through the schedule yet, so it is too early to give up in any circumstances, despite the extended Busch trend we have witnessed so far.

Licking County Prosecutor Kenneth Oswalt says charges have been filed in an alleged hazing incident. The Prosecutor says an 18-year-old is facing one count of Abduction and a 17-year-old is facing one count each of Complicity To Assault and Unlawful Restraint. Heath Police say at the time of the alleged crimes, which is between June and December of 2013, the two suspects were Heath High School basketball players. Prosecutor Oswalt says the two suspects conduct exceeded the bounds of simple teasing or horseplay by holding the victims down and touching them inappropriately. Oswalt says the names of the suspect are not being released since their alleged crimes occurred while they were juveniles.

For commuters it is definitely hard. But other than that it's great because everything (classes,library etc.) is close by.
It can get kind of cold, but it's not like we have far to walk. The worst is the wind.
It has been snowing almost every weekend since we had the blizzard. It makes it hard to do things on campus. The only part about the weather that I didn't like was when we lost power for a whole 24 hours. It made my dorm room cold and I wasn't able to do much homework.
I don't go to campus, but have lived in Massachusetts my whole life it's just New England Weather it changes so often you'll never know what to expect sometimes.
It's so nice in the fall and spring. It can get pretty cold and snowy in the winter.

Slacker Tracker
Gen X-Er Sarah Dunn Instructs Readers in the Ways of Her People
Well, not that serious. Dunn, 25, wrote The Official Slacker Handbook (Warner), a survival guide for those "who choose to have time instead of money" that dispenses tips like how to get free food in the mail and how to pick up "art school chicks," along with useful lists like "13 Things Parents Will Still Pay For" (collect calls, detox). By even bothering to compile this primer, Dunn has become an interloper at the Last Drop Coffee House, a slacker haunt where she hung out taking notes for six months. "I'm only about 40 percent slacker anyway," she admits. "I don't even have any body piercings."
Dunn just couldn't pull off doing that much of nothing. The daughter of a lawyer and a librarian who divorced when Dunn was 5, she grew up in Phoenix. When her mother remarried, she and her older sister gained two brothers. "I had three loving parents," she remembers. "It was very Brady Bunch and almost sickeningly happy." At Penn she wrote a humor column for the student newspaper; after graduating in 1991, she began writing for a local alternative press, the City Paper. Last year, Dunn dug out a paperback guide called How to Write a Book Proposal and did just that. Six days after writing to publishers, she had her first book deal—for $50,000. "I'm a writer because I was terrified of waitressing my whole life," says Dunn. "I still have nightmares, like the world will stop turning if someone doesn't get their breadsticks."
No need to worry. Her next project is "a dark, comic novel," says Dunn, who is single but nursing a crush on a "totally inappropriate slacker guy." The kind of guy, like many of her pals, who won't buy her book. "Mostly," she says, "they'll loiter in the bookstore and flip through it for free."

Students in Grades 4-8 Invited to Take Part in Motivational "TiViTz Tuesdays" Program Feb. 4- April 22 in Preparation for Tournament Play
COCOA, FLA. (Feb. 11, 2014) – Last week, it was "game on" for some serious Tampa Bay area competitors. Although last week also marked the start of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games, these young people are sharpening pencils, not ice skates.
Tuesday, Feb. 4 marked the start of TiViTz Tuesdays — a 12-week educational program designed to promote STEM education and to motivate fourth through eighth grade students to excel at math.
Each Tuesday through April 22, fourth through eighth grade students from 13 counties* in the Tampa Bay area are invited to participating McDonald's restaurants after school, anytime between 2:30 and 5 p.m. (times may vary depending on location and school schedule), to play the math and strategy board game, TiViTz. As well as competing against friends and classmates, kids are encouraged to challenge students from other schools in order to strengthen their game-play and learn new strategies. *TiViTz Tuesdays takes place at participating McDonald's restaurants in Charlotte, Citrus, DeSoto, Hardee, Hernando, Highlands, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Sarasota and Sumter counties.
"McDonald's is dedicated to supporting our local communities, whether it's hosting school tours or providing a safe and fun gathering place for an afterschool program," said Blake Casper, Owner/Operator, a McDonald's owner/operator organization based in Tampa. "We see this partnership with TiViTz as a unique opportunity to take a more active role in the education of children in our communities and are excited to be a part of this endeavor."
To participate in TiViTz Tuesdays, each student must be registered weekly by a parent or teacher at www.tivitz.com. Attendance at TiViTz Tuesdays is free, but students and/or teachers are encouraged to bring their own game to ensure they're always ready to play. Games may be purchased online at www.tivitz.com for $30 plus tax, shipping and handling.
The 12-week TiViTz Tuesdays program culminates with regional and championship TiViTz tournaments in May and June. Tournament winners will take home trophies and prizes, while four championship winners, one per grade four through eight, will share $15,000 in college scholarships.
TiViTz has been used as part of the mathematics curriculum by more than 10,000 teachers and 400,000 students across the country, including schools in Hillsborough County. The most popular version of the game, Ripken Baseball TiViTz, created in partnership with Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr., is the backbone of the comprehensive educational program.
The board game is "a natural fit" in the new Common Core state standards in at least nine areas, attests former Hillsborough County math supervisor, Janet Bauman. She helped introduce TiViTz last fall to the Florida Association of Math Supervisors as well as the Florida Council of Teachers of Mathematics, where it was well received by both groups.
Teachers agree that TiViTz works. "The students who are playing and are interested in TiViTz, they see the value in getting the math correct," said Joe Ratasky, math resource teacher at Foster Elementary in Tampa. "The kids who are in TiViTz (clubs) and are doing well at it, you see them at the top of the class."
Perhaps most importantly, kids see the value in excelling at TiViTz. "In the beginning, when I first started doing math, it was a little hard for me," said 10-year-old Ellijah Reyes. "But once I… found out about TiViTz, I started doing it and it got easier for me because I could practice my math skills."
ABOUT STEM: STEM has become a common acronym, particularly among policy advocates and government officials, for the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.A STEM-literate student is not only an innovator and critical thinker, but is able to make meaningful connections between school, community, work and global issues. STEM skills are increasingly necessary to engage in a knowledge-based economy. There is solid evidence to suggest that the fastest-growing and highest-wage jobs in future years will be in STEM fields and all employees will need to utilize STEM skills for problem solving in a wide range of industries.
ABOUT TiViTz: TiViTz® is a registered trademark of SAS Games, Inc. Based in Cocoa, Fla., the company is led by CEO Siobhan Mullen, a former aerospace executive, in partnership with TiViTz creator, Stephen Scully. Encouraging students of all ages to: "Improve Your Game, Improve Your Mind," SAS Games produces the popular TiViTz board game as well as 2D and 3D online versions at tivitz.com. The game has won multiple awards in the toy and game industry, including Dr. Toy, National Parenting Center, Creative Child and Parents' Choice.

Welcome to Appy Hour! Our latest blog series highlights apps that do what they do really, really well. Since summer is the season to get away, we're starting with travel apps.
[SERIES] Appy Hour: The Best Travel Apps to Satisfy Your Wanderlust
WWDC Recap: Don't Overlook the New App Store Ads
iOS 10 just entered its first public beta last week. Now everyone - with or without an iOS Developer account - can experience the latest Cupertino has to offer, months before the final release gets pushed out to the masses.
But while most of the reactions to iOS 10 have been focused on rich push notifications, lock-screen enhancements, Siri, and iMessage extensions, there is one announcement that has gone largely ignored - Apple's new App Store Search Ads.
Mobile Marketers, You Should Be Excited About Pokemon Go. Here's Why.
We've been loving the Pokemon GO phenomenon here at Localytics. As Product Manager Yoni Samlan put it, "The bond between a man and his Charizard is sacred." And it's not (just) because we've always dreamed about being surrounded by adorable Japanese monsters.
Are You Ready For A Mobile Engagement Platform?
Picture this: you send out an email blast with your latest and greatest weekly content but can't track any open or click-through rates. Then, you log into your CMS and find that your total pageviews count for your blog is down. Complete disaster, right?
In today's data-driven world, marketers know how crucial KPIs are to their success. Setting benchmarks and being able to optimize accordingly is the foundation of a robust strategy. That's why having the right mobile engagement platform in place to measure results is a must.
5@5: Meet Aaron Sawitsky, Senior Product Marketing Manager [SERIES]
We try to stay humble at Localytics, but there's no denying it: we have an incredible team here. (#Blessed.) Our new blog series, 5@5, uses 5 questions to get a behind-the-scenes look at who's designing, building, and marketing our platform, and how they do it.
Kicking things off is Aaron Sawitsky! He's the race car driving, Boston-bred man behind product marketing at Localytics.
6 Campaigns All Media & Entertainment Apps Need To Try
Media and entertainment apps are a huge force in the world of mobile. From music and video apps, to social and sports, media and entertainment apps come in all kinds of styles and sizes.
These apps are usually focused on a variety of goals, including boosting revenue through paid subscriptions and building user engagement with killer messaging.
Appy Hour: 11 Apps That Make "Adulting" Easier
The term "adult" is often used reluctantly. If we think long enough about all of the dreaded activities that sum up adulthood, we would crawl back into bed and avoid the entire world for as long as humanly possible. Working a full time job can feel like such a chore when you'd rather binge-watch episodes of The Bachelorette while scooping Ben & Jerry's straight from the tub.
5 Types of Travelers for Travel Apps to Target
Would you ever want to travel cross country if it meant traveling 5 months in a Conestoga wagon? Probably not… especially with the threat of dysentery and snake bites around every corner. Thankfully today, traveling is much easier (and cheaper) than it was in the days of the Oregon Trail.
Currency Is Dying: Why Mobile Payments Are The Future
Mobile phones are an extension of us. Sound extreme? Take a walk around any public place and look at how many people have their phone in their hand. It's pretty staggering. And since we rely on our smartphones to operate day-to-day, it would only make sense that eventually we would also rely on them as our primary payment method.
Examples of Apps That Nailed Personalized Push [Infographic + New eBook!]
No one can doubt the power of push. Push notifications have been shown to increase app engagement by 88% - and when apps use personalized push, the results can be even more dramatic!

For the fourth year in a row, Activision breaks records and is well on its way to another billion-dollar payload.
Activision announced today that Call of Duty Black Ops 2 made $500 million on its first day at retail (Xbox 360, PC & PS3). Last year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 made $400 million in the first 24 hours, while the original Black Ops raked in $360 million in 2010, and Modern Warfare 2 made $310 million the year before that.
"With first day sales of over half a billion dollars worldwide, we believe Call of Duty is the biggest entertainment launch of the year for the fourth year in a row," said Bobby Kotick, CEO, Activision Blizzard, Inc. "Life-to-date sales for the Call of Duty franchise have exceeded worldwide theatrical box office receipts for "Harry Potter" and "Star Wars," the two most successful movie franchises of all time. Given the challenged macro-economic environment, we remain cautious about the balance of 2012 and 2013."
As a point of comparison, Halo 4 made $220 million in sales in its 24 hours, though of course it's a single-platform game. Activision will look to keep this trend going as there have already been rumors that 2013 will bring us Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward.

Hartford - Residents of southeastern Connecticut will have to wait at least one more year for the General Assembly to pass toll legislation that might enable completion Route 11.
The state Department of Transportation has not yet completed its Route 11 study, but enough details were released to state Rep. Ed Jutila, D-East Lyme, for him to realize that his original bill in the recently ended session of the General Assembly wouldn't work in the way he intended.
The Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee passed House Bill 6052 this legislative session, but the bill was not called up in the House or the Senate. In previous sessions a similar bill has at least been passed in one of the two chambers.
"I finally got (the DOT) to give me some preliminary indications from the study, which were that the tolls on the 'yet to be completed portion of Route 11' would not generate sufficient revenue to finance a significant portion of the state's projected cost for the project," Jutila said Friday.
The bill would have authorized the DOT to establish electronic tolls to pay for the construction of extending Route 11 from Salem to Interstate 95.
Extending Route 11 and completing the interchange of Route 11 and I-95 and I-395 was estimated to cost $1.2 billion to $1.5 billion. The DOT would have applied for 80 percent of the funding from the federal government and 20 percent from the state. Revenue from the tolls was supposed to be used to pay the state back its 20 percent contribution.
Proponents of the bill had projected that it might take 25 years to pay the state back if the toll were $2 for a car and higher for a truck.
But Jutila said that the previous planning was "back-of-the-envelope calculations." The DOT has been working on a study in which motorists were interviewed and similar situations in other parts of the country were studied, Jutila said.
The right balance has to be struck between a toll price that is high enough to generate revenue and low enough to attract motorists.
A number of cars are going to stay on the current Route 85 to avoid the toll, Jutila said. He said he would have to wait for the final report and other DOT studies on tolls before he knew exactly how a toll on Route 11 might work and what alternative options might exist.
But not passing a toll bill this legislative session wouldn't delay the project because preliminary design and environmental studies are ongoing, he added.
The DOT would still have to present a financing plan to the Federal Highway Administration to obtain federal funding, but the bill doesn't necessarily have to be passed yet, he said.
"I would rather wait and see the full results and maybe look at this in a more comprehensive way and come up with a more detailed tolling bill," Jutila said.

Really enjoy these earrings
By GEMGRAMMA
from MILLARVILLE, AB
These earrings are a bit fragile and I only gave them a 4 because it looks like the little bead drops are not very secure. I have worn them once and really like them otherwise. The price was right also.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I loved the look of these as they were unique however in person they seemed cheap and fragile. Definitely not worth the money. If they were made sturdier they would be great. These were a miss. Chose to return them.

RIM's U.S. Market Share Falls to 6.5% as Apple, Samsung Gain
Research In Motion Ltd.'s BlackBerry smartphone, which lost its No. 4 spot to Apple Inc. in the U.S. in the first half, fell further behind the iPhone maker and market leader Samsung Electronics Co. after new models failed to attract enough users.
RIM's share of U.S. mobile-phone subscribers in the three months through November dropped to 6.5 percent from 7.1 percent in the previous quarter, research firm ComScore Inc. said. Samsung increased to 25.6 percent from 25.3 percent, and Apple consolidated its fourth place, gaining 1.4 percentage point to 11.2 percent.
The figures are the latest evidence that BlackBerry models RIM introduced this year with touch screens and upgraded browsers haven't stopped customers opting instead for Apple's iPhone and devices built on Google Inc.'s Android platform, for example the Samsung Galaxy S.
This month, Waterloo, Ontario-based RIM gave sales and profit forecasts that missed analysts' estimates and said revenue fell 6 percent last quarter to $5.17 billion.
In the November quarter, LG Electronics Inc. lost 0.5 percentage point of U.S. share to finish second with 20.5 percent, Reston, Virginia-based ComScore said. Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc., the No. 3, saw its share drop 0.3 percentage point to 13.7 percent. RIM remained the last of the top five handset makers.
RIM climbed 1.1 percent to $14.50 at the close of New York trading, leaving the stock with a loss of 75 percent this year.
Operating Systems
The BlackBerry maker also lost ground among the top U.S. smartphone operating systems. RIM's share fell to 16.6 percent from 19.7 percent, maintaining the company's position as No. 3. Leader Android and Apple, the No. 2, both gained, according to ComScore.
RIM's percentage-point decline was six times bigger than Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Phone system and 10 times that of Nokia Oyj's Symbian.
Nokia started selling the Lumia 800, its first device running Windows Phone software, in November in Europe. Nokia Chief Executive Officer Stephen Elop teamed up with Microsoft to try to revive sales and compete with Cupertino, California-based Apple and Android.

How many of you have played rugby? I ask because of a recent Esquire magazine article: "The 75 Things Every Man Should Do." No. 1 on the bucket list was "Play rugby."
Show of hands, please. How many of you can cross rugby off your list?
Wow, that's a lot of women. More and more all the time. Perhaps you've seen them on TV this weekend during the two-day Collegiate Rugby Championship at PPL Park in Chester. The men's final will be broadcast live on NBC at 4 p.m. Sunday.
We many. We happy many. We band of rugby brothers and sisters. Our numbers are growing larger every year. And the game itself is getting better, faster, more athletic - more intelligent.

With population explosion in India, nearly two crores young Indian citizens enter the job market every year (as per Government survey). With economic stagnation worldwide, lack of sufficient new manufacturing based factories, the job market has grown merely at a rate 2% per annum ( between 2000 – 2012), according to Ministry of Labour and Employment, Govt. of India. In a country, where crores of graduates, post graduates and engineers are unemployed, who will think about the underprivileged youth of India, who cannot finish formal education and enter a college, due to economic constraints? ..read more >>

A Second Oil Shortage: Experienced Workers
By NEELA BANERJEE
Published: July 1, 2001
FOR Pablo Hadzeriga to leave the profession he loved, it took a terse letter from his employer as he returned from his honeymoon.
At the time, in 1992, Mr. Hadzeriga was a seasoned petroleum engineer who had survived several rounds of layoffs that had cost thousands of highly educated people their jobs and left many friends struggling to pay their mortgages. He estimated that his employer, Maxus Energy, had whittled it staff, to about 560 people from almost 7,000, as oil prices tumbled.
Then it was his turn. Maxus Energy mailed Mr. Hadzeriga a letter that began by referring to him as ''a former Maxus employee.''
Mr. Hadzeriga found work again in his field with another company and eventually moved back to his hometown, Denver, from Dallas. But when the chance came in 1995 to abandon oil -- and the manic fate of working in a boom-and-bust industry -- he grabbed it. ''It wasn't a decision about money: I took a pay cut coming here,'' said Mr. Hadzeriga, 42, who now works as a product development manager at a plastics company. ''I'm leaving behind the highs and lows of the oil industry.''
Now the oil industry is prospering again, thanks to a doubling of natural gas prices and a tripling of oil prices since late 1998. Companies are enjoying handsome profits and the breathing room, for the first time in years, to pursue new projects aggressively. But the bitter past of layoffs haunts the industry's thriving present.
As politicians warn of an approaching energy crisis, the oil industry is trying to avoid a severe shortage of its own. From the Gulf of Mexico to Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, from large multinationals to small specialized offshore drillers, oil companies are having trouble finding and holding on to the engineers and geologists who discover oil and the roughnecks on the rigs who pull it from the earth.
A labor shortage means that companies may have to postpone efforts to find new oil and gas fields while they wait for skilled workers.
''If we don't do anything about this labor trend over the next 36 months, things could get critical,'' said John Gibson, chief executive of Landmark Graphics, a unit of the Halliburton Company, the oil-field services company in Dallas.
Like Mr. Hadzeriga, many who left are staying away, and few new people are taking their places. Oil companies have had some success in attracting unskilled workers, but a hole is widening within the ranks of the petroleum engineers, geophysicists and geologists who make the crucial and costly decisions about where to drill.
That highly specialized population in the industry is aging. The average age of members of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, for example, is 49. In 1981, it was 41. Yet oil's long downturn discouraged people now in their 20's and 30's from studying petroleum engineering and geology.
Already, new oil and natural gas projects have been delayed because of a tight market for rigs and labor, industry analysts said. Oil companies say the problem is serious, though few will acknowledge that they have difficulty themselves in attracting qualified workers, for fear of looking troubled to their competitors and Wall Street.
Those willing to talk are trying to avert a crisis. Exxon Mobil is heavily recruiting engineers and geologists from universities again. BP has developed an associate degree program with the University of Alaska to train students to replace the blue-collar workers who will soon be retiring from fields in the Alaskan North Slope. And Global Marine Inc., the deepwater drilling outfit, is recruiting within the military for reliable workers.
''On the professional engineering side, there's a shortage industrywide,'' said Sheldon Erikson, chairman of the Cooper Cameron Corporation, a $2 billion oil-field services company in Houston. ''People are feeling it because business has picked up, especially in the offshore market. We're looking at a pretty empty barrel now.''
Twenty years ago, the oil industry promised good pay and bountiful work for young men -- and a smattering of women -- who had a taste for science and adventure. Mr. Hadzeriga, the son of a chemical engineer, had traveled to three continents and studied five languages by the time he was 20. And he believed that a degree in petroleum engineering might take him someday to places where he could use his Spanish, Arabic or Russian.
''I sold everything I owned, sold my car, said goodbye to everybody,'' he recalled of his departure for a job in Angola in 1983, just after he graduated from the Colorado School of Mines. ''I was out to see the big huge world.''
At that time, the oil industry was flush with cash and convinced that oil prices would stay high for years. But growing supplies and flat demand led to a depression in the industry that took hold in 1986 and only began to lift a year ago. According to the American Petroleum Institute, about 754,500 people worked in exploration and production, arguably the most crucial part of the oil industry, in 1982. As of last month, the number had almost halved, to 336,400. From 1997 to 1999, the oil and gas industry shed 60,000 exploration and production jobs, mainly because of low oil prices, said Ron Planting, an analyst at the Petroleum Institute.

APR 2.0T FSI Stage III GTX Turbocharger System & Upgrade Kit! (EA113-K03 Vehicles)Posted on May 14, 2013 – 2:40 pm
Achtuning presents the APR 2.0T FSI Stage III GTX Turbocharger System & Upgrade Kit! (EA113-K03 Vehicles)
Building upon over a decade's worth of experience with turbocharged Audi and VW engines, including over half a decade with direct injected engines, APR's Engineers have taken the 2.0T FSI to ground breaking levels of performance without compromise.
APR has introduced the 2.0T FSI Stage III GTX Turbocharger System. Producing over 405 horsepower on 93 (R+M)/2 octane and 449 HP in racing configurations, Stage III GTX places the 2.0T FSI's accelerative performance in the same league as that of large V8 supercharged muscle cars and sub $400,000 exotic sports cars.
The new APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System represents a large leap in technology over our previously available GT Turbocharger System. The new system's response is much quicker, spooling hundreds of RPM sooner thanks to the latest in Garrett turbocharger technology and advancements in the ECU Upgrade. Further refinement of the fueling system increases the vehicle's reliability and drivability to levels only matched by the OEM. A substantial increase in horsepower and torque results in roughly a 30-50 HP gain in the area under the curve over the previous system. As you hear a new exotic growl from your exhaust system, expect exhilarating g-force levels sure to put a huge grin on your face!
To learn about many component included in the APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System, see below. For previous owners of the older APR Stage III GT Turbocharger System, an upgrade package is available.
APR Stage III GTX Components
At the heart of Stage III GTX is a GTX2867R turbocharger, consisting of the latest technologies from Le Mans' winning turbo manufacturer, Garrett Honeywell. The internally gated unit features a fully-machined, ten-blade billet compressor wheel and a dual ball bearing oil and water-cooled CHRA. APR's Engineers spent countless hours testing turbine inlet and A/R sizes in order to decrease turbocharger lag without negatively impacting peak power. The newly developed compressor housing utilizes anti-surge porting, which greatly complements the lightning fast spool characteristics of this unit and grants APR's Engineers the ability to deliver massive levels of torque inducing boost pressure, even in the lower RPM range.
Each turbocharger unit is assembled and clocked in house at APR with the necessary brackets to ensure proper wastegate fitment and orientation. Each wastegate is then calibrated for precise operation and control to ensure seamless integration with the expertly recalibrated OEM engine management system.
APR Stage III GTX Software
The factory Bosch MED 9 engine management system is responsible for proper operation of the engine in all conditions. With built in compensational data for environmental variables and varying load conditions, the factory ECU is far more complex and intelligent than units found in other vehicle makes and marks.
With the significant amount of changes included in the APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System, APR's Engineers spent months recalibrating the engine management system to operate smoothly as if intended by the OEM. Thanks to APR's incredible proprietary calibration suite, data logging software and full access to the coding structure of the ECU, appropriate and intelligent changes are made to ensure flawless drivability and excellent performance without compromise.
APR's EMCS program switching technology puts control of the ECU in your finger tips allowing you to access modes for standard pump fuel, high output race fuel and even reduced output valet modes to protect your vehicle against improper use by other individuals. This technology is patented by APR and is found nowhere else in the world. It's Performance Without Compromise only APR can deliver!
*Note* Exiting APR Software customers will receive a fully loaded ECU. New Customers will receive 1 program and may purchase additional programs al la cart. Please check for EMCS availability.
Exhaust Manifold
Attached to the turbocharger is APR's investment-cast, super alloy, nickel-chromium-based Inconel 625 Manifold featuring APR's Sequential Exhaust Pulse runner lengths. Unlike hand welded tubular manifolds, Inconel is a very high temperature resistant material designed to withstand extreme exhaust gas temperature changes without expanding, contracting, melting or cracking under stress. This material is typically found only at the highest levels of professional motorsport racing where reliability is essential to success.
Investment-cast Inconel features heat retention characteristics which aid in turbo response by keeping exhaust velocity high. Ensuring each exhaust pulse arrives at the collection point without collision is critical to producing lightning fast response and immediate torque delivery. Using 3D modeling and computational fluid dynamics software, APR's Engineers designed varying short runner lengths calibrated to deliver sequential exhaust pulses without collision. A reduction in backpressure from the high flow design directly enhances power delivery.
Each manifold is investment-cast in the United States of America and machined in house on APR's CNC machines to ensure high casting tolerances, repeatable results and strict quality control. The thick casting material reduces unwanted exhaust noise leaving behind a powerful and exotic growl.
All of these characteristics result in a manifold designed without compromise backed by a confidence inspiring lifetime warranty.
Induction and Charge Piping
Wire reinforced, multi-ply silicone hoses provide an unrestricted path for airflow to enter and exit the turbocharger at over 1,000 kilograms per hour. The ultra rigid design ensures boost and vacuum piping will not swell or collapse causing leaks and restrictions in the induction and charge piping system supporting boost response and turbo recovery. Each hose is engineered to fit properly into the vehicle's engine bay with all necessary emissions and reference ports securely affixed.
APR's Easy-Flow Silicone Hose design features stepped mounting surfaces for smooth transitions from one pipe to another. Traditional designs simply sit on top of each other, often resulting in a disruptive airflow path. By using the stepped design, hoses fit properly without airflow restrictions, resulting in the most ideal path for moving air through the turbocharger and into the engine.
Turbo Outlet Pipe
To provide unrestricted and smooth airflow from the turbocharger to the intercooler, the APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System includes a cast enlarged turbo outlet pipe to properly deliver the additional airflow from the larger turbocharger.
Mass Airflow Housing
The vehicle's engine management relies on load calculations to accurately control the engine. Calculations are made by measuring airflow across the Mass Airflow Sensor and this is a critical component of the APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System.
The small and restrictive factory unit is removed and replaced with the much larger housing. To ensure accuracy, APR's MAF housing is cast in the United States of America and CNC machined in house at APR to ensure repeatable results. The long, precision-machined housing features a honeycomb airflow straightener to further aid in accurately reading airflow levels. Simply enlarging the MAF housing is not permissible without accurate adjustments to the factory engine management system, which is included with APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System.
Oil and Coolant Lines
APR's oil and coolant lines are specific to the vehicle's Stage III GTX System and provide years of leak free operation. The oil lines feature flexible braided stainless steel with CNC mandrel bent hard-lines for specific and clean hose routing as if intended by the OEM.
Low Pressure Fuel Pump System
The APR Low Pressure Fuel Pump System is a complete, OEM style, PWM controlled drop in fuel pump and controller solution designed to fit cleanly in the OEM location. The upgraded pump provides adequate low-pressure fuel to the APR High Pressure Fuel Pump to support the power levels produced by the APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System.
High Pressure Fuel Rail Valve
The factory vehicle's gasoline direct injection injectors require higher than factory fuel rail pressure to achieve targeted air fuel ratios under high load, wide open throttle operation. APR's Low Pressure Fuel Pump delivers the desired volume of fuel to the APR High Pressure Fuel Pump, which provides increased fueling headroom over the factory unit. However, the factory High Pressure Fuel Rail Valve limits maximum rail pressure below the desired level. The included APR High Pressure Fuel Rail Valve is calibrated to increase the maximum rail pressure to levels necessary for proper operation.
In doing so, APR's able to support far higher horsepower levels than achievable on the existing APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger Systems without the need to alter the factory, correct spray pattern, injectors. This results in smoother part throttle operation, factory-like cold starts and fewer unburnt hydrocarbons emitted from the tailpipe under all conditions compared to other fueling options.
Cast Downturn and Downpipe
The GTX2867R internally gated turbocharger unit features a Garrett five-bolt flange, which differs from the OEM turbocharger flange. To support this design, the APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System includes cast stainless steel exhaust downturn and downpipe, which mates directly to an APR Midpipe, Downpipe or Turboback Exhaust System.
Nuts, Bolts, Gaskets, Washers, Clamps, Fittings, etc
Every APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System includes all necessary components for a complete install.
No matter how small the part, each piece of the APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System oozes with quality evident in pieces like the Stage III GTX's laser cut ancillary brackets and carriers.
Spark Plugs
Proper temperature range spark plugs are included with each APR Stage III GTX Turbocharger System.

APR releases 2.0T FSI (EA113) Intake Manifold Runner Flap Delete (RFD)Posted on December 14, 2012 – 1:51 pm
APR has just released an intake manifold Runner Flapper Delete System for 2.0T FSI (EA113) OEM intake manifold.
The APR Runner Flap Delete System (RFD) is a motorsport inspired upgrade designed to eliminate airflow restrictions within the factory intake manifold. This product is for anyone looking to maximize performance on highly tuned engines.
The runner flaps are individual plates, much like a throttle body flap, located within the intake manifold runners. Unfortunately even when opened to the maximum position, the flaps still represent an airflow restriction as illustrated in the graphic below.
The APR RFD System fills the voids in each runner after removing the runner flaps. Each piece is precision CNC machined from billet aluminum on APR's live tooling in-house lathe.
Simply removing the runner flaps can cause adverse running conditions during cold start. However through proper ECU recalibrations, APR's able to provide RFD specific software for all APR software stages to eliminate this harsh running condition. This is a free software upgrade for all existing APR ECU Upgrade customers, however an installation fee may apply. (contact us for details)
Power Gains: At Stage 3 airflow levels, typical results showed a decrease in turbocharger lag, more than a 10 ft-lbs of torque gain and more than a 10 horsepower gain.
Recommendations: This modification is recommended for APR Stage 2+ and higher modified engines.
Application: For all 2.0T FSI (EA113) factory intake manifolds. If you're unsure which you have, please call for assistance.
Part Number: MS100033
Price: $199.99
We will be adding this to the Achtuning online catalog shortly.

An equine figurine and a small bird figurine, both made from mammoth ivory are featured in images released recently by Nature magazine.
The carvings were found at Hohle Fels Cave in southwestern Germany. The figures may have been carved by some of the first modern humans to colonize Europe, approximately 30,000 years ago.
Among the earliest undisputed artworks ever found, they are providing new clues into the migration and religious beliefs of early humans.

I really like it. I wish button styles colour could be in virtually any colour so to match the background image but overall..amazing Theme!
The theme was the exact layout i needed, and has all the functionality I needed. As I plodded along things came together, but during the process it was not always easy to see that it would. A small amount of documentation for the neophyte would be helpful - for example just knowing the header graphic filed expected a background image, not a logo, would have been nice. Small things like that that were obvious to the programmer, but not to the user...It would be easy enough to add a public discussion area so users could be more self-supporting.
I will most likely keep this theme and go for the pro version.
Very smooth, great theme.
Not a good theme at all!
There is a mess between the bootstrap.css, the theme's style.css and mostly the theme's main so-called "customization" functions which actually are only messing up the whole layout and not really helping you "customize" it.
Plus, there is absolutely NO support for this theme from developers' side.
Its is a modern and great theme..
I really like the look of this theme and the pro version looks great. Unfortunately there are simply too few ways to customize the free theme to really evaluate whether it's worth purchasing the pro version. I appreciate that the developers don't want to give too much away with the free version but here I think they've been too conservative.
I may come back to this theme though.
I did not give this five stars, but somehow the rating shows that!
I love the look of this theme, but find it too hard to tweak. I couldn't find a way to remove the logo or figure out why the feature box images aren't the same size when all the pics are identical in size.
I posted my issues, but got to response.
I don't know how to FTP to create child theme, but found a widget. Still I've spent three days working with it and it still isn't right. About ready to switch to another theme.
Very nice theme

Once installed, looks great. The glass panels have to be placed in fixture and do not mesh properly.
Quality lighting fixture. Its smaller than I thought but it still works
Lights look great, easy to install & the description was good.
The price was great for the quality of the materials. The steel is of a heavy gauge, so it won't be rusting out anytime soon. The manufacturing process left something to be desired. If you want the lamp to hang perpendicular to the ground, the mounting plate is about five degrees crooked on the house. Not a lot, and it is welded so there is no adjustment. And a nice feature would have been some kind of gasket to put between the house and the lamp. Most houses have siding so the the lamp is now tilted back, again, about five degrees. So other than the fact the light is mounted tilted to the right by 5 and tilted back about 5, It was a very good purchase. And it is a very good looking lamp.
I like the modern style. They are a little smaller than what I pictured in my head based on dimensions given.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? good
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. quality is good
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? good
