The 6 Steps of Rocking Out (When You're Over 30)
#3. Finding a Place to Rock
For those of you who've never been to Terminal 5 to see a show, it's important to know that it doesn't matter where you stand -- the sound will suck. And it did. So it was a standing-room-only show and we had to decide where to stake our claim. While I went front and center in '93 and spent the show moshing, I decided I'd have a lot more fun this time if I did the exact opposite of that. I went to the balcony, avoiding the clutter. Furthermore, the balcony had close proximity to the bar and soft pretzels. Rock!!!!
In '93, this display was filled with buttered heroin.
Anyway, no complaints. My view was awesome and I had a ledge for my beers.
Also, the mosh pit I avoided was basically just 20 guys being lame in the middle of a crowd. Not missing much. It moved so slowly, it looked more like an angry amoeba uncomfortably copping feels from surrounding folks who were just trying to watch the show.
#2. Rocking During the Rock
Soundgarden came on and killed it. Just killed it. Despite the bad Terminal 5 mix, they destroyed the place, playing songs from throughout their career while integrating the new material, which held its own against their classics. Chris Cornell, now in his 40s, hit all his paint-peeling notes and the unit was super tight.
I nodded my head, tapped on the railing, sang along when it wasn't too obnoxious to sing along. Meanwhile, one of my buddies gave up his view of the band to some girl at the show. That's like a Motley Crue move. Boo. A real Soungarden fan would never let anything -- not even a vaguely attractive 20-something with too much eyeliner -- come between him and the band.
Then they closed with the same song they opened with in 1993. One of the greatest, loudest, meanest songs ever written: "Jesus Christ Pose."
#1. After the Rock
Man, the show is just the warm-up, right? After Soundgarden raised the roof for two hours, me and the boys were ready to hit the town and purge some of those antsy demons summoned by the power of grunge. We were feeling stupid and contagious. But first it was important to urinate.
Most likely where Terminal 5 keeps its sound system.
After tapping the spoonman (to use a grunge phrase for urinating that in no way is a thing people actually say), we hit the New York City streets. "Where to?" we wondered aloud. Some wanted to hit bars in the Village. There was talk of an after-show party in Brooklyn. And one guy wanted to hit Penn Station to catch the last train before midnight. That someone was me. And showing all the defiance of the most badass grunger, that's just what I did.
Watch the new HATE BY NUMBERS, where Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas recruits Britney Spears to make even worse music. Also, be sure to follow Gladstone on Twitter and stay up-to-date on the latest regarding Notes from the Internet Apocalypse. And then there's his website and Tumblr, too.

Thursday, November 7, 2013
Volunteer assistant coach Joe McCabe was dying.
On the final stretch of pavement that signals the end of a comfortable walk from Goose Creek High School's practice field to the locker room, McCabe's legs began to give way. He was weaker. He was heating up; signs of a stroke or heart attack.
That's when the nearly 40-minute nightmare started, less than 100 feet away from the locker room door. The same thoughts rolled on a loop in his head.
"All I could think was that I've got grandchildren. I've got two more children I want to see get married," said the 48-year-old McCabe, who helps coach the program's running backs. "I want to grow old with my wife. I didn't want to leave yet. That's what it felt like.
"I didn't know what was going to happen."
McCabe did know all that stood between him and sudden death was an electronic gadget he had put in two years ago.
He guessed maybe it was failing him.
McCabe has an implantable cardioverter defibrillator next to his heart. The device also acts as a pacemaker. Either one responds if the heart beats too slowly or too fast.
On Nov. 5, 2012, the Monday after Goose Creek's 31-23 win over rival Stratford, the device went haywire, sending McCabe's life flashing before his eyes and shocking many others. McCabe received 53 electrical jolts in 45-second intervals, each giving birth to more worry for the longtime Gators assistant coach and a growing number of players and coaches showing up at the scene.
His heart medicine wasn't working properly and McCabe's heart rate revved up to 300 as a result.
So, the pacemaker was putting in overtime to keep McCabe alive.
"They say it's going to save your life but I didn't know what it was going to feel like," McCabe said. "They said it could feel like a mule has kicked you in your chest."
Eventually, an ambulance carried McCabe to Trident Medical Center where personnel got the pacemaker under control. He survived the scare that day.
But one crucial war remained - the one with himself.
At the heart of McCabe's problems was poor health habits. He weighed 330 pounds and admits he wasn't taking care of himself.
Looking back, it shakes him to know he nearly left them all behind: Wife of 22 years Kipley, step children Josh and Ryan Heavener. son Zachary McCabe and three grandchildren, including one that lives with him and Kipley.
Since the incident, McCabe has methodically taken 67 pounds off a frame better suited to carry a 185-pound man.
"I've never drank so much water in my life," he said. "I've got too much to live for in front of me."
That includes members of the Goose Creek Gators' football and baseball teams. McCabe has been a volunteer assistant at GCHS for 15 years and stuck with the programs through thick and thin.
He jumped in with the Gators when they were at their lowest point on the football field, joining Chuck Reedy's staff for the 2002 season.
The Gators were 0-11 in 2001 and won just one game in Reedy's first campaign.
"It wasn't pretty," Reedy said. "There wasn't a guarantee it was going to be a successful ride … we've had a lot of people volunteer through the years but very few of them have stuck with it.
"We consider Joe to be one of our full-time coaches and one of our family."
To see McCabe fallen over in the bushes while waiting on the ambulance was difficult to take in for Reedy.
"It impacted everyone because we think a lot of Joe," Reedy said. "Just seeing the situation he was in and not being able to do anything about it was very scary. It does get your attention. It reminds you how precious life is and how short it can be."
McCabe said he received over 9,000 Facebook acknowledgements after word of the episode spread.
He worked up the courage to return to the school the Monday after Goose Creek's playoff victory over Conway, exactly a week after the incident, and was welcomed back with a standing ovation.
"I went into the coach's office and everyone stood up," McCabe said. "When I got down the hall, the kids were coming out, shaking my hand and hugging me. That just builds you up."
Tuesday was the first anniversary of the incident and the recent arrival of fall weather serves as a reminder too.
"Like last night, it was basically the same kind of weather," McCabe said during a practice last week before the West Ashley game. "It was cold. It's kind of weird.
"I don't call them demons but I'm getting through the scary parts of it, getting through day to day now."
McCabe continues to give it his all to keep his weight down. His blood pressure was perfect at the last checkup and the heart muscle is functioning 42 percent better. McCabe takes 13 pills a day, six in the morning and seven at night.
He wants to live longer for his two families. He carries both of them with him at all times.
"I love what this program has done," McCabe said. "Watching it grow from where it was to where it is now has been amazing.
"Everybody thought they would give up on it."
When McCabe thinks back about all that he's been through with the Gators, this one day almost two years ago sticks out in his mind.
While shopping at Costco the Sunday after Goose Creek won its first football championship against Greenwood, McCabe was easily identified as part of the Gator Nation because of his clothes.
"Somebody comes over to me and wanted to know if I was a coach," he said. "Then they said 'wear it proud today.'"
That's an every day thing for McCabe.
Only the clothes are getting smaller.

MADISON, Wis. - Maybe we should have seen this coming.
Maybe it was too much to ask for Penn State, given the events of the last three weeks, to play its best game against what appears to be the Big Ten's best team in No. 15 Wisconsin.
Penn State knew it could lose, but the Nittany Lion camp did not envision unraveling to the extent that it did in a 45-7 loss to the Badgers on Saturday at rainy Camp Randall Stadium.
Article Photos
The Associated?Press
Wisconsin's Nick Toon can't hold on to a pass in front of Penn State's Drew Astorino on Saturday.
"No excuses," interim coach Tom Bradley said. "I thought we were ready to play."
They weren't.
The Lions committed seven penalties, dropped passes, three lost fumbles and an ill-timed early interception helped set the rout in motion and contributed to a soggy end to a regular season that, years from now, will be remembered for what occurred off the field rather than on it.
"We didn't have the fire in our eyes," senior linebacker Nate Stupar said. "Just in our stances, our coaches said we kind of turned it in already. I don't know why. We just didn't come out and play football."
Still, Stupar didn't think the mental fatigue of enduring the scandal involving former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, which led to the firing of Joe Paterno, caught up to the team.
Neither did senior safety Drew Astorino, who said, "We just didn't bring it today."
It's understandable, of course, given everything the players have been forced to overcome. And yet, that wouldn't totally be fair to Wisconsin, which, as offensive coordinator Galen Hall said in his typical understated way, "is pretty good."
"We knew this part of the schedule would be tough, and we knew Wisconsin might be our toughest game this year," offensive tackle and captain Quinn Barham said. "We failed the mission."
Maybe they did Saturday, but it didn't seem to overly dampen their spirits.
"I thought we had a great season - 9-3 isn't too shabby," Stupar said. "Even all the controversy we've been through, it's been a joyride."
That ride will now be engulfed in uncertainty over the next few weeks.
Bradley said the team will meet today and then he'll give everyone a week off.
"They need some time to themselves to recharge the batteries," he said. "I think a week away from everything won't hurt us."
By then, acting athletic director Dave Joyner and new president Rodney Erickson will have sorted out the Lions' bowl possibility.
Bradley plans to be on the road recruiting over the next 10 days, trying to solidify the Lions' 15 verbal commitments. In the meantime, players may be mulling transfer options while others beyond the seniors, such as Jordan Hill and Gerald Hodges, may be checking out their NFL stock.
It's possible fellow members of the staff will be scoping out other job possibilities.
Quarterbacks coach Jay Paterno was moved after the game when queried about his emotions.
"I was OK until you asked," he said, forcing a smile. "Now that we don't have a game next week, I'll have a day when I can crash and think about some things spend some time with my kids and kind of deal with this because I really haven't had a chance to do that."
Hall has offered to stay on if Bradley is retained and may consider retirement if he's not. He paused a while when he was asked if the coaches would like to know sooner than later.
"I'm trying to sidestep it," he said. "They [administration] have to make that decision. Whoever's on the committee has a timetable and certain people they want to talk to. They'll have to work that out."
Naming a coach soon might make it difficult for those remaining to prepare for a bowl - presuming an invitation comes and is accepted - but at the same time, several potential candidates may be getting their own teams ready.
"Hopefully we'll get one more game, and we won't have to go out like this," Bradley said. "I told them to keep their heads high."
Most teams that lose 45-7 might not heed those words.
But this one should.

Redshirt Junior, Simone Taylor, touches on the Hatters' success so far this season as well as her emotional experience regarding her ACL injury last year...
As we approach the halfway point of conference play I couldn't be more excited about our team's success thus far. Recently our 11 game win streak, which was a not only a school record, but was just behind Baylor and Notre Dame's winning streaks, came to end. However, we still hold on to a 14 home game win streak which is the longest in school history. Even though we still have a long way to go to reach our goal I think that it's fair to enjoy what we have accomplished at this stage.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Penn State defensive end Deion Barnes burst upon the Big Ten landscape like a rocket as a redshirt freshman last year.
Barnes was named Thompson-Randle El Big Ten Freshman of the Year, was a freshman All-American, was named to the Big Ten All-Freshman team by ESPN.com and BTN.com and was an honorable mention All-Big Ten pick by the coaches and the media.
If his rise to the top and Jordan Hill's departure doesn't get the attention of opposing offensive coordinators, nothing will. Barnes could be a headache for opposing offenses, who will most likely target him for double teams and take their chances with the Nittany Lions' other young and inexperienced linemen.
"With Coach [John] Butler's defense, I don't seem them being able to really set a target," Barnes said on media day. "He does a great job of disguising and putting people in different places, so I don't really think they can completely double team me like that, but they will."
"I think any time you have a guy as a freshman get all the accolades he had, guys are going to find a way to try to stop him," defensive line coach Larry Johnson said. "But, we have three other guys who have to get it done. Those guys are going to have some one-on-ones, so we have to make sure we're ready to go. If Deion is getting double-teamed, we have to have guys who can pick us up."
Barnes made 26 tackles last year, but 10 were for loss, and he made six sacks, leading the team in tackles for loss and sacks. Talk to his coaches and teammates, and they say Barnes, who comes in at 6-foot-4, 245 pounds, will be improved over last season.
"Football is very, very important to him," coach Bill O'Brien said. "It's something that he has a passion for. Secondly, he's an excellent athlete. He's big, strong, and he's become even more stronger and more physical in our weight room. I believe he'll play the run better this year. He's worked hard on that in the offseason. He can rush the passer. Everybody knows that. I'm very glad he's on our team."
"Before we talked about just how to get to the quarterback," senior defensive tackle DaQuan Jones said, "and now he's just talking about technique stuff. So, to see him grow in that aspect is a good thing."
"This year everybody on the outside is expecting me to do more," Barnes said. "I'm going to be able to make more plays. My role when I'm on the field is to do my job and make sure everything is efficient. They expect me to sharpen my tools way better than I did last year."
Last year, Hill was the lineman who drew the double teams, and he was still able to make 64 tackles, including 8 1/2 for loss. Hill, drafted by the Seattle Seahawks, was named to the All-Big Ten Team by the coaches and the media and a second-team All-American by Athlon Sports.
"You can't replace somebody like Jordan," defensive end C.J. Olaniyan said. "We just have to make sure as a D-line, we're doing everything we can to improve our skills individually so we can come together and improve as a team."
"You don't replace him," Johnson said. "You don't replace any great player. You just say 'Next guy up. Let's go.' No one is going to have the skill set like Jordan Hill, but they'll have their own set of skill sets, and that's all we can ask."
O'Brien projected Barnes and the 6-3, 244-pound Olaniyan (15 tackles last year) on the outside and the 6-3, 318-pound Jones (22 tackles), 6-5, 281-pound redshirt junior Kyle Baublitz and 6-4, 302-pound redshirt freshman Austin Johnson rotating in on the inside.
He said Barnes and Olaniyan could be backed by young guys like redshirt freshman Evan Schwan and true freshmen Curtis Cothran and Garrett Sickels.
"We feel decent about the depth," O'Brien said.
"Honestly, we can be as good as we want to be," Jones said. "We have a lot of great potential in the room, and it's just a matter of how much work we put into training camp."
Whether it's a successful unit or not will be up for debate for awhile until it can prove itself, but the players seem like a tight-knit, fun-loving group. As Jones was being interviewed on media day, his linemates were singing R. Kelly's song "I Believe I Can Fly."
"Yeah," Jones said looking over his shoulder with a smile, "it's a lyrical group. It's a comedy. In the meeting rooms, it's pretty fun to be around these guys."

Most of you know I'm a news junkie. That's because A) I made my living in the news for years and B) It'd be embarrassing if everyone knew the world was ending except me.
So. The latest topic that caught my eye was an MSNBC article about people winding up in the ER trying to live out their bucket lists.
Let's look at a few:
An 80-year-old California woman, Laverne Everett, was tandem skydiving for the first time when she somehow slid from the instructor's harness. He grabbed her and held on for dear life while they rocketed to earth. She walked away with bruises and a great story. (The video is still up on YouTube.) An Alabama man realized his lifelong dream of bull-riding when he crawled aboard a 1,000-pound snorting behemoth. Both his ankles were crushed when the bull started bucking in the chute. No eight seconds there.A 60-something Missouri man bought a new motorcycle in Kentucky. He broke several bones when he crashed while riding it out of the parking lot.Now, I'm not trying to ridicule these people—far from it. Everyone has dreams, and they had the guts to go after theirs. But according to the article, we Baby Boomers (those of us 49 and older) are just getting out of hand. We're helicopter skiing and swimming with sharks and parasailing in the Alps. We're zip lining and rock climbing and Scuba diving.
Apparently lots of us are itching to cross off crazy adventures before taking what I call the Big Dirt Nap. And that's fine, for anyone who isn't me. I have a few dreams and unrealized adventures, certainly. It's just that mine don't involve multiple fractures, or eating parboiled centipedes in the shadow of Kilimanjaro.
I've lived out every dream I've ever had, with few exceptions. You could say this is because I am content to remain provincial and unenlightened, which is probably true. Or you could say I've been enjoying life for many years and there isn't a whole lot left I'm dying to do.
I'd like to learn how to paint, and speak Spanish. I'd like to eat Swiss chocolate in Switzerland, where knowing Spanish would do me absolutely no good. I'd like to swim with wild dolphins. That's about it. There's no-one I want to meet, no office I want to hold, no jewels or car or house I'd like to own.
(I used to think I'd like to have a backyard chicken coop, but we have raccoons and snakes in our woods and, unless we install combination locks and motion detectors, I think we know what would ultimately happen to those chickens. I also thought I should collect a few dozen columns in a book, so I did. Widdle thinks it's hilarious, but several publishing houses did not agree. The hard copy is tucked into an antique suitcase in the spare room, in case I ever find the energy and money to self-publish.)
Adventures aside, I've had an amazing life. I'm not rich but I have a cherished wedding band and a few antiques and oil paintings. I have a houseful of books and a few good friends and that about does it. Oh, and a husband who makes me laugh and a snorty little dog that sleeps on my feet in bed.
What more could a woman ask for? OK, I'll admit it—good hair. But I'm not holding my breath on that one.

"I want to have a normal life with a normal relationship and I don't want to be forced to just hang out in a hotel room all the time," she tells Entertainment Weekly. The singer-songwriter, 29, says that while she shares "bits and pieces," she doesn't want to reveal everything about their life together.
"I keep enough to myself," she says. "I'm going to go on dates and movies and dinners and when I do it's not because I'm trying to garner any kind of publicity, it's because it's something that is just an inevitable byproduct of this life. It's never my main focus, it's never intentional. [My] ideal date is just dinner and a movie. It's so normal. And a hike, we love to hike."
The other thing she loves to do with her boyfriend – whom began dating in the summer of 2012 before breaking up and getting back together – is hang out in the recording studio together. Perry collaborated with Mayer on a song for his album, and he was there when she recorded her new album, Prism.
"I think he's very proud of it," she says. "He's heard it over the process of me making it. I think his opinion is a priority for me, but also me being happy with it is probably a bit more of a priority. And also what the world thinks of it, and how boring would it be if I did censor myself and I wasn't able to write about real-life instances? I mean, that's just not what songwriters do – real songwriters write about their lives."

"There's times when you see other people who, the only reason why they have success is because they're just shock jocks, which works for a period of time," she says. "I haven't really taken off all my clothes yet, so I still have that card to play if I want to. I think when you play that card first, then you're like [groans]. Yeah, I've done my fair share of 'naked on a cotton candy cloud' situation, but everything is with a wink. It's not like, 'Here's my vagina.'"
But there's another reason why she's not ready to get naked. "Rihanna has a fantastic body," she says. "Same with Miley – she's got an amazing body, and they get away with so much more stuff because it looks so great. Me, honestly, I've got cellulite. I'm just hiding it."

LISBON - With only about 36 hours left before voters go to the polls, Speaker of the House John Boehner swung through Lisbon Sunday evening to make a push for presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
"With the enthusiasm I see here tonight and the enthusiasm I've seen across the country, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are going to be the next president and vice president of the United States," predicted Boehner to applause and sign-waving from a crowd in front of the gazebo in Lisbon.
As the Republican speaker for the past two years, Boehner said he has had to try to work with President Barack Obama, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, all names which drew boos and catcalls from the crowd. Boehner told the crowd he got into politics to defend the American way of life and nobody will stand up and defend them more than he does.
However, Boehner said, it is time for Obama to go. He talked about how the president was elected with the promises of hope, change, a balanced budget and the goal of putting Americans back to work. Instead, Obama has attacked industry, Boehner said. He added no industry was attacked as much as the coal industry, prompting a small group directly in front of the podium to wave "Coal = Jobs" clean coal advocate signs.
"He just doesn't get it," Boehner said of Obama. "What would you expect of someone who has never done anything."
Boehner noted what America needs at this time is leadership and suggested Romney and Ryan know how to put the country back to work.
Boehner's quick visit to Columbiana County lasted less than 30 minutes and he shared the time and stage with local Republicans, Chairman David Johnson; U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson; state Rep. Craig Newbold; Judge Sharon Kennedy, who is running for Ohio Supreme Court; and Unity Township Trustee Tim Weigle, running for county commissioner. Prior to Boehner's stop in the county, he spoke in a parking lot in Niles. The tour is an effort by Republicans to make a last push for Ohio, one of the swing states of the election. Arriving shortly after Boehner's bus was a second bus from the New American Energy Opportunity Foundation. A person dressed as a gas pump emerged from the bus along with a large sign showing the rising cost of gas prices during the last three president's terms - Clinton $1.46; Bush $1.84; and Obama, $3.72.

Underwood visited her hometown animal shelter in Checotah, Okla., this weekend, getting covered in cat hair – on purpose – in the name of adoption.
"Hanging out at the Checotah animal shelter! Anyone want a kitten?" she wrote on Twitter. "I think we have a few!!! Ha ha!"
The singer is a self-professed animal lover and mom to rat terrier Ace and dachshund mix Penny. On Sunday, joined by mom Carole, Underwood stopped by the shelter, which is where she adopted Penny in 2010.
"She comes to visit every time she comes to see her mom," shelter director Kate Paris tells PEOPLE, adding that the pair help out at the shelter whenever they can.
Underwood spent 45 minutes visiting homeless dogs and cats but was particularly smitten with a pile of kittens. "She got all the kittens up on her lap and loved on them," Paris says. "She really cares a lot for animals."

"[Carrie] just loved on him," Paris says. "All he wanted was somebody to pay attention to him."
Underwood also posted a photo of the cat and wrote, "Someone left this one at the grocery store."
Though she left the shelter empty-handed, Underwood said she had plenty of friends who were looking to adopt. Paris is grateful for the support, adding, "She's real busy because she is fixing to go on tour, but every time she comes this away, she stops by."

There are some high-quality playoff matchups in the Summerville area this weekend.
On Saturday, a pair of Top 10 Class AAAA boys' soccer teams will go head-to-head at Bagwell Stadium.
Fort Dorchester (14-5), ranked 10th among the state's 4-A teams, will host ninth-ranked Dutch Fork (16-5-1) at noon. The Silver Foxes advanced to the third round of the playoffs with a 2-1 win Thursday over top-ranked Wando. The Patriots advanced with a 2-1 overtime victory over Spring Valley.
"Tonight the boys showed a commitment and a desire to win that I hadn't seen from them this season," Fort Dorchester coach Chris Jones said. "We've been talking about it, but tonight they proved they have a strong desire to win because that was an even game. Our boys' just took it tonight so I'm proud of them."
The Patriots' contest was a tight match that didn't see a score until the final eight minutes of regulation.
The Fort was awarded a free kick deep in Viking territory. Mahlie Clay booted the ball to Reilly Ashton who sent a high shot just out of the reach of the Spring Valley goalkeeper and into the net with 7:15 showing on the game clock.
All the Patriots had to do was run out the clock, but Spring Valley took advantage of a free kick from deep within its own territory to tie the game in the closing minute.
The high and long kick sailed up field and after landing took a high bounce that left Fort keeper Christian Baker with a tough decision on whether to run up to try to secure the ball or play back. Baker attacked the ball and was about to grab it when Spring Valley's Brandon Burke leaped up and used his tall frame to head the ball past Baker and into the goal for a 1-1 tie.
In the first 10-minute overtime period, the Fort had some good scoring opportunities but couldn't put the ball into the net. Spring Valley also took some shots, but Baker made three saves in the period.
The Patriots finally broke the tie late in the second overtime period. Defender Koh Matsumoto gained possession in Viking territory and sent a precision pass across midfield to forward Jack Stasek who sprinted by the second-last defender to pull the Viking keeper out of the goal. Stasek then sent a shot out of the keeper's reach and into the net for the 2-1 Fort lead.
In other soccer playoff action, the Pinewood Prep boys will take on Cardinal Newman at noon Saturday at Patriot's Point Soccer Stadium in the SCISA Class AAA state championship match.
The Panthers (19-3) defeated Hammond in the semi-finals Wednesday to advance to the title match while Cardinal Newman defeated Porter-Gaud.
Softball Playoffs
The Summerville softball team (22-7) will host Bluffton (21-6) in the Class AAAA Lower State championship series Friday. The two 2013 co-region champs for Region 8-AAAA will clash once again at 5 p.m. at the Summerville High School softball field located beside Gregg Middle School.
The Green Wave and the Bobcats split their regular-season games this year and then Summerville handed Bluffton a 2-1 loss Monday in the playoffs to secure home-field advantage for the title series.
Bluffton will have to defeat Summerville twice in order to advance to the 4-A state championship series. If the Bobcats win the first game, the second game will follow with a coin flip determining which team will be designated as the home team.

Constructing and Examining Location-Based Applications and Their User Interfaces by Applying Rapid Software Development and Structural Analysis
Suomela, Riku
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2006-06-14
Belongs to: Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto. Julkaisu - Tampere University of Technology. Publication; 601
University: Tampere University of Technology
Faculty: Department of Information Technology
Department: Institute of Software Systems
Location-based applications exist at the border of the real and virtual worlds. These two realities are merged into a single experience that provides some added value for the user. Objects in the real world, whose position can be determined, can be projected to the virtual world, and with proper technology, the virtual data can be projected onto the real world. Personal location-based applications serve the needs of an end user and are easily available for them. An interface for personal location-based applications is preferably carried by its user all the time, and possible devices include mobile phones and wearable computers. These devices are very different in nature, and they allow different kinds of applications and user interfaces. This Dr. Tech. dissertation deals with location-based applications and their development. The dissertation is composed of eight research papers, which deal with the construction of location-based applications, user interfaces, and associated theory. Three research methods have been used in this dissertation. Constructive research methods have been applied in location-based application and platform development, empirical methods are used in application evaluation, and theoretical analysis on location-based application UIs. In this dissertation we propose new user interface techniques, and a method for analysing the user interfaces of location-based applications. Rapid development of multi-user location-aware applications have also been studied, with emphasis being on user generated content. Finally, a new way to analyse the structure of location-based applications is proposed.

Lost amid the "Venus and Serena" hype at the Family Circle Cup — the movie, Friday's daylong Williams-fest, Saturday's sisterly semis — was the continued breakthrough season of young Madison Keys.
Of all the young Americans who made an impact this week — five U.S. players under the age of 28 made the third round — none went further than the 18-year-old Keys.
Keys, from Rock Island, Ill., beat fellow American Bethanie Mattek-Sands on Friday to make the quarterfinals, her second quarterfinal run this season to go with a third-round appearance at the Australian Open.
But she didn't have long to savor her achievement. Shortly after her straight-set win over Mattek-Sands, Keys had to face former No. 1 Venus Williams.
Venus won, 6-4, 6-4, to set up the semifinal showdown with sister Serena.
"(Friday was) bittersweet," said Keys, who who was just 14 when she scored a 5-1 victory over Serena in a World Team Tennis match. "Quarterfinals, and then lose like two hours later. But I'm just taking a lot of good things about this tournament as well."
As well she should. Keys impressed Venus in their match.
"She's very talented," Venus said. "And she's just, at this point, learning the ropes and playing the matches. She needs more experience against the top players, because she hasn't played as many top players yet. I think it's just a matter of time for her."
And that's one thing Keys, and her fellow young Americans, have plenty of.
"There's a bunch of younger players right now that are really starting to do well," she said. "They are getting at least first round, second round, sometimes third round. So I think it's great, and we are all kind of rooting for each other."
All about the clay
Serena Williams has won 13 straight matches on Billie Jean King Court. No wonder it's one of her favorite places.
"I love playing this court, I love this tournament," she said after defeating sister Venus on Saturday. "I think it's a good clay court. Sometimes you play on certain clay courts and they are not good and they're funny and you can't really slide, and it's just weird. This one is a really good one, particularly this year, the last two years."
Serena vs. Venus
More on the rivalry:
Serena has a 12-5 lead over Venus in finals and semifinals; Venus leads 5-2 in other matches.
The sisters have played three times when one was ranked No. 1 and the other No. 2. Serena won all three.
Net cords
Today's doubles final will begin at 11 a.m. on Billie Jean King Court, followed by the singles final at 1 p.m.
Today's singles final will be televised on ESPN2, with Cliff Drysdale and Pam Shriver on the call.
Three of four semifinalists on Saturday were former Family Circle Cup champs. Serena won in 2008 and 2012, Venus in 2004 and Jelena Jankovic in 2007.
The crowd of 9,538 for Saturday's Venus vs. Serena semifinal was the largest for a single session since the Family Circle Cup moved to Charleston in 2001. The previous record was 9,336 for a Friday day session in 2008, when Serena played Maria Sharapova in the quarterfinals. Serena won that match, 7-5, 4-6, 6-1.

Chelsea manager Rafael Benitez says defender John Terry will miss Saturday's match at home to Wigan (live on Fox Soccer, 10:00am ET) with an inflamed knee.
However, goalkeeper Petr Cech and Terry's fellow defender David Luiz have recovered from knocks and Eden Hazard is back after a ban.
And striker Demba Ba will also be available, although he will wear a protective face mask after his nose was broken at Newcastle last weekend.
Benitez said on Friday: "I am really pleased with the medical department, they are doing a great job.
"We have just two players injured, Oriol Romeu, a long-term injury, and now John Terry has inflammation in his knee. It's not serious but he will not be available tomorrow.
"David Luiz, Petr Cech and even Demba Ba will be available. With different situations, but they will be available.
"That is really important. We cannot use (John Obi) Mikel or Victor Moses, who are in the African Nations final, but I am really pleased to have two more players and more options. It is much better."

on December 18, 2012 - 11:57 PM
Colleen C. DiPirro heads one of the region's largest business groups and helped to "reinvent" it. DiPirro – who has headed the Amherst Chamber of Commerce for 32 years and also is a member of the Western New York Regional Economic Development Council – sat down with The Buffalo News' Brian Meyer to discuss the local business climate. Here is a summary of an interview for the weekly "In Focus" series. Watch the full interview at BuffaloNews.com/video.
Meyer: You had mentioned in one of your bios that the 2009 business downturn was among the worst you've seen and that a year later, there was still a sense of angst. … Where are we now?
DiPirro: I think with concerns about the "fiscal cliff" and the implementation of health care reform, there's so much uncertainty that people are very, very frightened about their financial futures.
Meyer: What role do Chambers play these days, because I have to think that the business landscape has become a lot more complex in the last 30 years.
DiPirro: It absolutely has. I can only speak to the Amherst Chamber of Commerce, but we position [ourselves] as a conduit to the prosperity and success of our businesses. We do focus groups on a regular basis with all different demographics. The purpose of those are to identify the voids in the marketplace relative to the access and affordability of services. We bundle those services, and we bring businesses in so they can access them in time-efficient and cost-effective ways.
Meyer: Can we actually make that happen with local decisions? Because as you pointed out, so much goes on in Washington and in Albany.
DiPirro: Any Chamber of Commerce that tells you that they autonomously can change public policy at the federal level is not being totally transparent. Because we can't. We can work together in collaboration to try and change policy.
Meyer: Earlier this year, you had Sen. [Kirsten E.] Gillibrand in town for a [Chamber-sponsored] event. The senator talked about the need to find ways to get small businesses more access to capital.
DiPirro: Access to capital is critically important, not only to start-up businesses, but second-stage businesses. … When we do our research, we find out many of these businesses that want access to capital have no business plan. So we're providing them with a business plan so they have a blueprint when they go to the banks, when they go to the [Small Business Administration], they've got something tangible they can provide in return for investment.
Meyer: You have been at the forefront [in] talking about the need to reform the way that [local industrial development agencies] do business.
DiPirro: I think the Amherst IDA … did a wonderful job in being able to identify voids as it related to business and industry and to replace the lost steel industry back in the '70s and '80s … I think that suburban IDAs should focus on adaptive reuse projects, and we should have one regional entity that deals with the larger regional projects.

(even though I said nothing bad about her, I didn't say she isn't well-adjusted, as you implied, I only said I think she never had peace and happiness on the ice in later years)
(even though I said nothing bad about her, I didn't say she isn't well-adjusted, as you implied, I only said I think she never had peace and happiness on the ice in later years)
She needs to skate clean, no under rotate her 3A and show some feeling with the music!
There are all kinds of people in the world. There are some who only care about winning. There are some who even when they win, it's not enough, they need to win by even more. Then they need to win by so much they literally destroy their opponents and drive them out of the sport. You see what I'm doing, now I'm describing someone who has a monomania and an evil character, and there actually are athletes like that in the world.
I said NONE of those things about Mao, or anything like it, and I said nothing insulting about her or her character. We ALL deal with issues in our lives, whatever they are, and I simply said maybe she's not happy. Maybe she's a perfectionist and it's her personality that she will never be happy with herself. Maybe her mom was an important part of her skating life, and to lose her was very painful, and it changed the way she felt performing. Or maybe her mom wanted her to do the 3A and always complimented her on it, and that's why she persists with 3A all the time. This is all speculation and just examples of what she might be thinking, but who knows what Asada thinks but herself. Maybe she got bored with skating, or maybe she has chronic injury that affects her. Again, nobody will know but her.
But, what I can surmise, is that human beings are all psychological people, even you and me. In order to achieve the best results, people need to find peace. Even good people who are otherwise well adjusted might have one thing in their life that causes them distress, I can think of several in my own life. Again, none of these are insulting comments. They are simple acknowledgement that much more goes on in athletics than just technique and condition.
Insisting that you can say whatever you want w/o basing anything on reality or facts makes your posts tiresome and undermines everything you post. You can say whatever you want. But that doesn't mean you can be free of consequences (aka others calling you out). If you can't accept that, maybe you shouldn't post your "no facts needed" opinions.
Sorry, it is not related to the topic.
But I thought it was cute and wanted to share:
She said she wants to finish skating at the Olympics with a greater smile than this one.
There is no need to have a good strategy to beat Yuna. They are both on the same level. Mao has better artistry, but she unfortunately can't jump at all. How can this woman beat Julia when she can't even properly execute 2L? On the other hand, Yuna can jump, but she skates like a robot. It almost looks like she has no soul when she skates. Its kind of creepy... just my opinion though.
"I like many things about Yuna Kim. The way she jumps, starting the first jump in combination at the blue line and ending near the board. She has amazing transitions. She is very beautiful, with great, I would say, sense of posture. Knows exactly how to do this or that gesture, how to look. For me, she is undoubtedly number one now. No other athlete, in my opinion, is in the same league as an all-around champion."
Saying that she skates like a robot is insane in my pt. of view. Did you watcg send in the clowns? Or even the programs before. She skates gracefully on ice!

April 3, 1916 – May 5, 2013
Sidney Albrecht, founder of Reliable Propane Corp., died Sunday in his Clarence Center home. He was 97.
Born in Pigeon, Mich., Mr. Albrecht was a Navy veteran of World War II, serving in the South Pacific. After his discharge, he worked at Harrison Radiator in Lockport until starting his own business.
In 1945, Mr. Albrecht founded Reliable Bottled Gas Co., which is now known as Reliable Propane. He operated the company for 33 years until selling it to his son Kenneth in 1978.
A member of Clarence Center United Methodist Church, Mr. Albrecht sang in the choir for many years, attended the Tuesday morning Men's Bible Study and served on the Missions Committee.
He and his companion, Lois Stegner, faithfully visited church members who were shut-ins, in the hospital or in nursing homes. They also enjoyed attending church dinners, musical performances and traveling around the region.
Mr. Albrecht also enjoyed playing golf and, until the week before his death, worked out six days a week at a local health club.
His wife, Frances Beakman Albrecht, died in 1986.
Survivors include another son, Kevin.
Services will be at 10 a.m. Thursday in Clarence Center United Methodist Church, 9750 Clarence Center Road.

What patients got instead were fatter bills and less effective treatments, according to a Dallas Morning News multi-day series called "The Cost of Care" that began Sunday. Some of my colleagues who contributed reporting will be blogging here on their findings this week.
2. Closing arguments are expected to begin later this morning in the Dallas City Hall corruption trial, The News' Jason Trahan reports. After these end, jurors will deliberate on a verdict for what could be weeks.
3. I didn't hear NBC give a shout-out last night to the Arlington voters who agreed to subsidize the new Cowboys Stadium. The upshot: NBC did compare it to the pyramids, Parthenon, Great Wall of China, Taj Mahal and Roman Coliseum. We'll see if it attracts similar numbers of tourists so that Arlington can recoup the tax dollars residents are giving Jerry Jones.

Lobbying for dairy: Is there a wrong way?
Lobbying for dairy: Is there a wrong way?
As we've said before, farmers, industry professionals, and educators need to continue lobbying for dairy as much as we can. School teachers, supermarkets, and senators alike need to be reminded of just how important dairy is to human nutrition, local economics, and the international trade balance.
But is there a wrong way to lobby for dairy?
The Watertown (N.Y.) Daily News reported this morning that two cooperative employees have contributed to the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) PAC (Political Action Committee) in March. You can read the full article here: http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/article/20110502/NEWS02/305029981
This might be surprising, as both employees are executive-level members of cooperatives that belong to the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF). March was a very aggressive month for NMPF, as the cooperative federation released their proposal to change Federal Milk Marketing Orders. The two groups have since traded "third-party studies" to show who would win and lose in their respective programs.
The two cooperatives are Foremost Farms USA, of Baraboo, Wis., and Dairy Farmers of America (DFA), a national cooperative based in Kansas City, Mo. In our October 10 issue we feature a top 50 dairy cooperatives list. DFA is the top cooperative with 9,572 members and 37.700 billion pounds of milk. Foremost ranks eighth in the list, with 2,207 members and 5.390 billion pounds of milk.
Both DFA and Foremost are considered processing co-ops, and they are both IDFA members. But as the Daily News article notes, neither individual contributed the minimum reportable amount to NMPF's PAC, and the DFA VP hasn't given the minimum reportable amount to that co-op's PAC since 2008.
Both DFA and Foremost hold seats at the NMPF table, and both have supported continuing efforts on Foundation for the Future. At the same time, IDFA and NMPF agree on a vast majority of subjects including raw milk, work in both the Innovation Center for Dairy and Dairy Export Council, and have both bought into the Bain & Co. study on the future of dairy.
So maybe the contributions shouldn't be so surprising. It is up to the dairy producer-member board of directors at those respective cooperatives to decide if their employees are doing the best job to represent their co-ops.
More information:
OpenSecrets.org has a list of the 18 PACs that contributed to federal candidates during the 2010 election cycle: http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/industry.php?txt=A04&cycle=2010
They also categorize the mention of the word "dairy" in lobbying reports from 2010: http://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/lookup.php?type=i&q=dairy

Silver hopes for gold with Cards
Former Berkeley?Springs coach lands boys basketball job with Spring Mills
May 20, 2013
SPRING MILLS — Joel Silver learned a trick or two during his tenure with Hedgesville coach Kelly Church, first as a player (1999-2002) and then as an assistant coach (the last two years)....
Why did Spring Mills hire a guy with a track record of cheating, caught running illegal practices? Article failed to mention his dismissal from B. Springs for that reason. Nice character hire for the new high school! He knows a trick or two. Lol.

Of course someone starts out comments on an article about high school sports with something negative that isn't even the full truth. Haters gonna hate! I thought this was a very humble article. The program will have a tough start - it's expected because its brand new. I'm excited to see how things play out. I love some good positive high school rivalry! The Eastern Panhandle needs to represent!!!!

It's always easy to talk trash when you can be anonymous. Why does the Journal even allow comments? Rarely are they constructive. With that said, I like seeing these younger guys get head coaching positions. It brings new excitement to the area. We look forward to playing against you and your boys, Silver! Go 'Burg!

Burgfan you do realize that many of the local coaches run what some would call illegal practices. Technically they aren't illegal since they say they have a parent run them but I know i've seen assistants and even head coaches at some of the off season practices during times they shouldn't. IF its true he was caught well he'll learn from some of the others how to do it a little more discreetly. I wish him and the program success.

Wow. The season hasn't even started and there's already trash talk. Seems a little weird. Unless your kid is going to play ball for the team, OR you were a runner up for the position, I don't know why anyone would feel strongly one way or another. Sounds like sour grapes. I'm ready to see what kind of teams Spring Mills produces. It should be fun to watch.

Geez, now two kelly Church's. its hard enough with one. I've already seen this kid bark and bark just like Church. It's So annoying, I will be skipping the games against this team to save my ears. He'll learned how to recruit from Church too and how to have practices on snow days when you cannot.

A term coined from the star Zeta Persei of the constellation Perseus, named for the Greek God Perseus, slayer of Medusa, the female monster that feminists eventually embraced as representative of feminist rage. Zeta Male represents a slayer of the feminist monster.
Why didn't that guy show respect to that woman when he saw she could be placed first? He's a Zeta Male and lives on his own terms. Besides, what reciprocal obligation does that woman have to men but "choices".

NIAGARA FALLS – At its March 19 meeting, the Niagara River Greenway Commission voted, 7-2, against an $11 million request for new and improved athletic fields at Niagara Falls public schools, but that vote probably won't matter.
The commission is powerless when it comes to deciding how the $9 million a year in Greenway funds is spent, and Niagara County's Host Communities Standing Committee is likely to approve the funding at its April 16 meeting.
"It seems like a great project," said William L. Ross, chairman of the Niagara County Legislature and the county's representative on the standing committee.
The Niagara Falls School District is one of the members of the committee, and Deputy Superintendent Mark Laurrie said the $22.1 million athletic project, half funded by the Greenway, has been the district's goal ever since Niagara Power Project relicensing began to be discussed in the late 1990s.
Former Superintendent Carmen A. Granto made the project the district's primary goal in negotiations over how to spend the money the New York Power Authority would eventually agree to contribute to the localities.
Last Sept. 25, Falls voters overwhelmingly supported a proposal to borrow up to $66.7 million for a variety of purposes. That package included the district's $11.1 million share of the athletic project.
"We're going to make it happen," Laurrie said. "We think it's going to be a world-class recreational facility. I believe it does meet the tenets of the Greenway plan."
The centerpiece is a plan to build a new football field and two baseball diamonds behind Niagara Falls High School, all with artificial turf. The football and baseball teams would move out of city-owned Sal Maglie Stadium after the 2013-14 school year, which is when the district's lease on the stadium expires anyway.
Laurrie said maintenance on the stadium costs the school district about $150,000 a year.
Mayor Paul A. Dyster, a Greenway Commission member, abstained from the March 19 vote on the athletic project.
"If the school district went forward, we would have to find someone else to operate the stadium," Dyster said. "I'm in favor of the project, but if I had voted on the commission, I would have been voting on consistency with the Greenway plan. That would be the appearance of a conflict of interest. People would expect the mayor of the City of Niagara Falls to defend the [stadium] lease."
The commission's vote against the project came at the same meeting in which the commission received a report from University at Buffalo law professor Sam Magavern and a team of 17 law students that concluded that the notion of a system of linear parks and trails along the Niagara River is being buried by the commission's powerlessness.
In Niagara County, Greenway funding is allowed not only along the river, but also in proximity to the Seaway and Niagara Wine trails and the Erie Canal. That makes almost the entire county eligible for Greenway money.
The Magavern report said the state law governing the Greenway should be changed to keep money along the river.
Laurrie said all the athletic projects in Niagara Falls are within a mile of the river, with work at LaSalle Prep School located only 450 feet away. Fields there and the current high school fields also are to be upgraded and expanded.

TV Watch
Allison Williams of Girls: I'm Nothing Like Marnie, But I Root for Her
"There were moments reading the script that I thought, 'WOW, okay!' " the actress, 24, tells Company magazine's February issue and digital edition. "It's the most private thing anyone can do, but being an actress can make you feel vulnerable."
She adds: "My grandparents watch the show. I don't know why I was so concerned, though. They have been alive for virtually 90 years, so who am I to presume that sex never existed before me?"
Girls was a huge hit at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards, winning best comedy and best actress in a comedy for Lena Dunham. Williams plays Dunham's sidekick and best friend, a character who seems responsible at first, though her insecurities soon become clear.
"We're really different," Williams says of she and Marnie. "I've known I wanted to be an actress since I was 4, but Marnie still has no idea what she wants. But I'm so in her corner, even when she's wrong."
She adds: "In season two, Marnie goes through some real downs. I was shocked at how emotionally drained I felt from that."
Asked what makes Girls so special, Williams tells the magazine (which offers behind-the-scenes footage of her cover shoot") that the show captures the zeitgest for many young people these days.
"There is nothing alienating or too hipster about it," she says. "We're not dating handsome boys. They're weird. We don't have jobs you dream about. In fact, not all of us have jobs. It feels accessible. And the relationship between the girls is brilliant. It's like a digital time capsule – people will watch it in 20 years time, and it will sum up a certain generation."
Williams says she's dealing with her newfound fame mostly by not Googling herself, and shrugs off criticism that she got a head start in the business because she's the daughter of NBC newsman Brian Williams.
"At the end of the day, even if all these wonderful doors are open for you, you have to stride through them," she says.

6 Most Misleading Movie Titles Ever
Say what you want about Snakes on a Plane as a movie, but at least it delivered on its title. There was a plane, and that plane had snakes right on it. Seriously. The title isn't a metaphor for the emotional snakes that terrorize the planes of our hearts; that plane is legit full of snakes, nose-to-tail. Rewatch it if you don't believe me.
Sadly, that kind of integrity is rare in Hollywood. More often, we get our hearts broken with empty promises like ...
#6. Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus
The Asylum
The Bait:
A title like Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus conjures up exactly one image -- a mega fucking shark engaging in all-out warfare against a giant goddamn octopus. And I really appreciate it when filmmakers go the extra mile and use a word like "vs." instead of "and" or "with" to remove all ambiguity regarding how these characters feel about each other. This way I know going into a movie featuring a mega shark and a giant octopus that I won't be watching them just be friends. Them monsters is fighting.
Nobody could screw this up, right?
The Switch:
Of course someone could, and all they had to do was make the titular monsters bit players compared to the boring-ass humans that dominate the runtime. The monsters, while certainly big and bloodthirsty, regularly take a back seat to truly important matters, like Debbie Gibson talking and drinking.
The Asylum
"Did you hear about the Mega Shark? Let's just sit for a while and not talk about it or show it."
Gibson and her crew discover the shark and octopus frozen together in an ancient glacier, like one of those trick ice cubes with a fly stuck in it, except this is the giant kind that gods use to prank other gods.
The Asylum
"Seriously, take a sip of that ice water I poured you, there's nothing ... FISHY about it, I swear."
The glacier breaks open and the animals spring to life, because fuck science. If vicious brawling immediately followed, then fine. But noooooooo -- they quietly go their separate ways, because contrived human drama needs to happen. We bounce away from the newly resurrected Mega Shark and Giant Octopus and check in with Debbie, who just got fired because of an error with who gives a shit where is that Mega Shark!?!
Only occasionally do we get scenes of monsters destroying shit, such as when the shark leaps into the sky and eats an airplane.
Even then, the shark gets maybe 10 seconds of blurry screen time, while the passengers get crystal-clear focus and virtually all of the camera's attention.
The Asylum
Even the ones who spend every second proving they don't deserve it.
Also, raise your hand if you paid money to see a movie called Mega Shark vs. Standard Airplane. No? No one? OK, then move on, movie.
Finally, Gibson and pals conclude that the animals were fighting just before the big freeze and would likely do so again if lured back together. All this tells me is that a prequel where these two creatures fight and fight and fight sans human bullshit absolutely needs to be made. But that likely won't happen, since no humans equals no awkward sex scenes with washed-up pop stars.
The Asylum
"I've dreamed about this since your debut album."
"I was 17."
"Since your second album."
Once the monsters meet, their promised prizefight finally occurs. And almost immediately ends. After one minute of what I assume was a battle (the water's so murky, you can barely see anything), they wind up killing one another and sinking to the bottom of the sea. Thank God those jackasses are finally gone so the real stars of the movie can shine in all their pink fleshy glory.
The Asylum
"I told you we should have just done a small, indie, arthouse Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus movie.
Film it in France, maybe. Get away from all the Hollywood bullshit."
#5. Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster
Futurama Entertainment Corp.
The Bait:
Frankenstein('s monster) battles a space creature. What more has to be said? Even the box art looks awesome, despite the Frankenstein creature looking like he's half drunk.
Futurama Entertainment Corp.
This will be great. Frankenstein's monster is an assortment of random dead-guy parts reanimated by a misguided scientist, and this movie promises he's going to go to space! I can't wait to see how they fill in those blanks.
The Switch:
There's no Frankenstein. There's no Frankenstein's monster. And there's no space creature until the very end. They promised us prime rib and delivered month-old cafeteria meatloaf with a bit of bone meal for dessert.
That meatloaf's name is Colonel Frank Saunders. At least it wasn't Frank N. Stein or any other pun so awful that even Carmen Sandiego's henchmen would point and laugh. Frank is an android who looks like a human being because makeup's hard. His space capsule gets shot down to Earth by invading Martians, who better look like the creepy, horrible space monsters I was promised.
Futurama Entertainment Corp.
Or just plain horrible; that works, too.
That there's one of our villains -- a group of failed Uncle Festers sporting the most half-assed Vulcan ears ever. One of them shoots Android Frank in the face with a ray gun, melting his head and giving us Frankenstein's monster at long last:
Futurama Entertainment Corp.
Good fucking God. Their version of Frankenstein's creature is a dude wearing half an old leather mask? I get that he can't look exactly like the classic creature due to copyright issues, but this isn't even close to Franken-anything. It's just a lame Two-Face ripoff so terrible, I'm shocked DC didn't immediately kill off the real Two-Face in protest.
Near the end, we learn that the monster on the box isn't much of a monster, just a near-useless slavebeast of theirs. Also, look at him:
Futurama Entertainment Corp.
"Every part of me is embarrassed to be here!"
At the very end of the film, Frank and Useless Slavebeast duel at long last. Naturally it lasts about a minute and features nothing but the two weakly punching one another in a room so smoke-filled that you can barely see anything (a common trick among B-movie hacks, it seems).
Boxing matches where the fighters hug one another for 12 rounds are more nail-biting than this. On the plus side, the film only lasted 74 minutes. Wasting your life is far less painful when you only waste a little bit at a time.
#4. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
Embassy Pictures
The Bait:
Holy shit, how the hell did Santa Claus conquer a whole damn civilization? I need to know, because that means he might conquer ours, too. After all, you can only give away toys to ungrateful brats for so long before you snap, enslave all of humanity, and force them to build shit for you for once.
Hell, maybe he does that to the Martians. They got hands, too, you know.
The Switch:
As it turns out, nobody has to worry about Santa the Slavemaster, because in this movie, he doesn't conquer shit.
The basic gist is that Martian children are bored and depressed because they have no Christmas. In order to make them smile for exactly 1/687 of the year, the Martian overlords kidnap Santa. They also steal a couple of Earth children, because Santa Claus surviving alone on a hostile planet just doesn't work unless some kidlets tag along and drown every scene in a sea of badly acted precociousness.
Embassy Pictures
The exact moment these actors realized they'll never improve on THIS.
Luckily for Santa, not only is Mars made up almost entirely of morons (they mistake one of their green-skinned-and-antenna-helmet-wearing own for Santa simply because he wore the suit), but he's suddenly an invulnerable superhero. He is never harmed, never panics, and can somehow slip non-magical children through the tiniest of spaces, something I've never heard of him doing before. Must be the Martian air.

"Come back when you can threaten me with something other than a plunger and a scowl."
Also, simply by calling the Martian's menacing robot of death "the biggest toy I've ever seen," the death bot stops deathing and starts acting like a toy.

If you gave that toy to your child at Christmas, he'd never speak to you again.
Santa could've easily overpowered his captors, claimed the planet, enslaved the Martians, and actually fulfilled the title's promise. Instead, he did this:

"Yo, we cool, bro?"
He leaves. That's all. He conquers exactly three evil Martians, charms the antennae off the rest, and then goes home. He didn't even have the decency to violently scorch the Martian landscape like a jolly old Tecumseh Sherman. He literally just ho-ho-ho'd and left, leaving Mars completely and utterly unconquered.

Unfortunately, he forgot to teach them how to make decent toys.
