Dir. William Castle
Eccentric millionaire Fredrick Loren (Vincent Price) has invited five carefully selected strangers to the house on Haunted Hill for a 'haunted house' party, much to the chagrin of his lusty wife Annabelle (Carol Ohmart). Loren promises to pay whoever stays in the house for the whole night $10,000 dollars. With no electricity, no phones and no way of contacting the outside world, the guests are locked in the house at midnight. As the night progresses, it becomes very obvious that this will be a night to remember! Ghosts, ghouls and murder – oh my!
Darkness. A woman's scream. Creepy moaning. Rattling chains and creaking doors. A disembodied head ponders the restless 'ghosts' on the prowl. Nope, its not just another Saturday night in your local pub – it's the opening minutes of William Castle's lovably daft House on Haunted Hill; a clunky, if not thoroughly enjoyable ghost-train romp through every creaky, hoary old cliché in the book – stopping off only to thud into a few 'old dark house' conventions and marvel at some of the, erm, 'special' effects as it effortlessly works its way into your heart.
House on Haunted Hill is constructed as the cinematic equivalent of a fairground haunted house complete with pop-up ghosts, disembodied heads, vats full of acid, dangling rickety skeletons and disappearing bodies. Indeed, director/producer/mastermind William Castle is perhaps more famed for the gimmicky promotional ploys he utilised to accompany his films, than for his actual films themselves. He is the man responsible for dreaming up publicity stunts such as offering audiences 'life insurance policies' in case they died of fright during Macabre (1958); he also wired theatre seats with electric buzzers to mildly 'shock' audiences at appropriate moments throughout The Tingler (1959). The now legendary gimmick that accompanied House on Haunted Hill was known as 'Emergo' - a large fake skeleton attached to a wire that was winched across the movie theatre during key moments in the film, such as when a skeleton appears to rise from a vat of acid and 'menace' Carol Ohmart.
The film begins with introductions all round (Castle is nothing if a splendid and considerate host). The guests arrive at the house in a spooky convoy of funereal cars– the sight of five hearses slowly winding up the Hollywood hills is a memorable one and sets the morbidly gimmicky tone immediately. Hunky lug Lance (Richard Long) is a test pilot, opinionated Ruth (Julie Mitchum) is a gossipy, liquor swilling gambling-addicted columnist and Watson Pritchard (Elisha Cook) is the drunken schlep who seems to know quite a bit about the house's sordid history and slurs stuff like 'Only the ghosts in this house are glad we're here' throughout proceedings. Shifty looking shrink Dr Trent (Alan Marshal) and impressionable and demure Nora (Carolyn Craig) complete the group of eclectic guests. The characters aren't given much to do throughout the film, except Craig, who runs around screaming a lot and Schroeder, who has to come to her rescue. The acting borders on downright hammy, however the sincerity and conviction of all involved keeps events ticking over nicely. A couple of well oiled 'jump' moments prove reliably effective (one in particular gets me every time) and some of disembodied heads are actually pretty gruesome.
The spooky atmosphere is enhanced by suitably vintage organ music that instantly evokes the kind of creepy old ham-fisted horror films that House on Haunted Hill is one of. The rather striking looking house used for the exterior shots has a bizarre modernist feel – with architecture that falls somewhere between 50s kitsch and Aztec Temple. It doesn't resemble the usual 'traditional' haunted house at all. Until we get inside. Things become much more familiar then, with their spookily swinging chandeliers, secret passageways behind curtains/bookshelves and cob-webbed filled basements, which despite the creepy vibes that emanate from them, people still insist on 'checking out.'
The plot twists and turns, and then twists and turns again, ensuring events are never dull.
Vincent Price is on top form as the decadently suave and sophisticated Fredrick Loren, throwing himself into the role with the all the melodramatic relish you'd expect; though he actually plays down his customary theatrics in House on Haunted Hill, ensuring Loren remains a dubious character we are never really sure about. Of course we ARE sure about him and by the final reel our instincts are proved right, as sure enough, he is revealed to be a seductively menacing and diabolically scheming individual who plotted the WHOLE thing! And he would've got away with it too, were it not for those pesky kids. Sorry. Wrong outrageously diabolical scheme.
He and the ravishing Ohmart (in another variation of her 'conniving bitch' role from Spider Baby) exude untrustworthiness and are clearly having a ball in the scenes they share – taking swipes, barbed retorts and verbal clumps out of each other.
Although he claimed to have been influenced by Alfred Hitchcock – Castle's own directorial efforts were nowhere near as taut, effective or well constructed. His direction throughout House on Haunted Hill is quite unremarkable, though to be fair, he gets the job done in a rudimentary enough fashion. The film falls into a casual and repetitive stride almost immediately, with Carolyn Craig running into a ghoulish situation in a dark room, screaming hysterically, running back to join the others only to have them patronise and disbelieve her stories while Vincent Price and Carol Ohmart spit their vitriolic lines at each with vindictive relish. Lather, rinse, repeat.
House on Haunted Hill is steeped in an irresistible nostalgia and it consistently proves immensely entertaining and even more endearing every time I watch it – its perfect viewing fodder for those dark, wet and windy winter evenings; and works equally well on a Sunday afternoon if that's how you like to watch your old creaky horrors films.
A deliciously morbid, delightfully camp and full-blooded romp-fest that never fails to entertain every time it's wheeled out of the crypt and plonked in the DVD player. Hoorah!

some questions about starting up again.
First i'll give you background of my experience. Over the last ~3 years or more i have had a 20 gallon high running, Along the way i have had bumps along the way like some sickness outbreaks twice an a algae problem. I had the tank half stocked at best due to budget at one time and it was going smoothly. About 2 months or less ago i lost my last fish to natural cause and i basically shut it down. Then my cousin who has recently picked up the hobby and has a 10 gallon long going down stairs with some female bettas approached me, as he has a another terribly small tank with a male betta and was curious if would be interested in setting back up and adopting him and giving him a home. So i am setting up again so far i have drained the tank out cleaned some mineral deposits off the whisper 20 gallon filter and other misc things using aquarium safe cleaning product from API. I have filled the tank again got my filter running with a carbon bag. i am actually interested in moving away from carbon bag and possibly that filter systems as well maybe ? got my air pump going checked the lines etc need to find my spare air stones i had and stick those in. I discovered after i got it up and running that my 100 w heater is broken as the light is not coming on any more if i attempt to adjust the thing on it. so i am looking for a replacement for that ideally on the cheaper end of things . Ideally one that's still adjustable that i could find at one of the few local places be it like a chain like pet smart, petco or another local place that's not a chain that has been fairly helpful in the past. i am also curious as to some suggested tank makes for the male betta. Also as far getting the cycle going goes i am open to suggestions before i introduce the male to the tank. Should i try to get a filter squeeze from either him or another female who may be able to help me out, her tank is probably more mature as my cousins is fairly new. Or should i get a hardy fish to introduce to the tank first to start the cycle that would be a compatible tank mate.
Please read this for the fishLESS cycle.
it'll go quicker and be less harmful to your fish.
Can you break down your post for me?
You have a 20gallon high tank.
what filtration do you have?
what heater do you have?
you are going to get a betta?
other than making sure the filter is proper, you can start the cycle withOUT fish and we'll help with stocking etc down the road.
thanks for the fast response , sorry for the long winded post.
1. tetra whisper 20 gallon filter
2. all glass aquarium 100w 120v adjustable it appears to be a slight older model then the one i found via google(just double checked appears to be working )
3. Yeah my cousin has got a male betta in like 2.5 gallon or something wants to move it out figured id take it off his hand and pick tank mates to go with him. Suggestions ?
Going to check the water conditions after its been running for about 24 hours and i'll check out that fishless method i recall reading about it in the past. First time around i went with a zebra danio to start me off :)
if you are going to put more than the betta in there, then your filter currently will suffice.
if you want more fish, i would recommend another filter rated for 20gallons. (search ebay/amazon...so much cheaper than in store)
and the water conditions will be perfect if you haven't done anything to the tank. there isn't anything to start the cycle (i.e ammonia to feed the bacteria)
danio's should get a 3ft long tank. if you give them that, you'll really see their true behavior to zip around. they are active fish and need some length.
i recommend the fishless cycle with pure ammonia, you'll get your tank running faster and have that betta in there happy and healthy.
2 questions
1 i picked up "Clean ammonia" looks to be good no scents / dyes / detergents etc. I know you can't give me an exact amount i am putting in the 20 gallon tank but roughly what? a cap full ? a few cap fulls ? i ask because i don't want do to much :) should i use a dropper ? (i would have to find one )
2 this is a long term question that doesn't concern me but if i am adding that male betta fish to the tank what would else would make for a good fully stocked tank with him ?
As for amount of ammonia, start with a cap full, with the filter running, allow at least an hour and then measure the ammonia level using the test kit. Aim for 1 ppm ammonia - if above 3 ppm, do a 50% water change; if barely reading - say 0.25 ppm, double the amount. In this manner get a level between 1 and 2 ppm. It takes three to six weeks to cycle. Do NOT have charcoal (carbon) in the filter. Use only fiber fill (this will be the sole media that the bacteria grows in.) Only when the ammonia falls to zero, add the same amount you used the first time.
Your water test kit needs to be able to measure for: ammonia, nitrIte, nitrAte, and pH. These small kits are available on line with WalMart and many local fish stores (lfs) carry these kits. ONLY get the liquid test kit(s), not the dry test strips. Dry strips fail quickly with exposure to air and are expensive compared to liquid kits.
A 20 gal can hold a number of fish; Betta's are good community fish but never add barbs who will attack the Betta's fins. A school of neons or cardinals (12- 15), and a smaller school of Corries (6-8) are classic and very nice fish. Bleeding hearts would be good or black widow tetras.

A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.
For Fishless cycling:http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...ead.php?t=5640
thanks for the detailed info about starting off first dose. I have been using Prime and a api master test kit (never trusted strips + what you said about them ) for the last 3 years before i let the tank go idle for 2 months. Thanks for the info about the carbon i had not even considered that, was actually thinking going a fish in route before it was suggested an had tossed a carbon bag in. so i'll just go ahead and take that out before i add first dose. Going to go stick my air stone in , remove the carbon bag an jack the heatup. Thanks a lot for the suggestions on the community setup much appreciated. Once the cycle is complete and mature an i decide on setup should i do the betta first ? Multiple fish with him ? i just ask because the male betta is already living in a tank that's to small and i'll be rescuing him from that. (it's in the same house as me)
just because i am anal retentive. "Supreme clean - Clear ammonia" it does not foam at all in fact it bubbles hardly at all and they go right away. Infredients "Ammonium hydroxide and surfactant" the last part made me paranoid as that's kinda a general terms for a few things >_> . I am asuming i am being paranoid and the bubble / foam free confirms it has no detergent. Anyway its nap time for me i was unable to local my airstone and still waiting for that tank to get up to the 80's . Will grab airstone from my cousin later when he wakes an may need to adjust the room temp noticed i have a slight draft coming in by my window that is fairly new might have to fix that .:) but hopefully the last adjustment on my heater gets me over 80' , it was like 79 before when i checked i think.

FYI I have read many times here that you need to be cautious about Bettas in community tanks - a lot depends upon each personality as to whether or not it will tolerate sharing a tank with other fish so you will want to consider a back up plan if it doesn't work out.
Yes, as long as the ammonia doesn't foam up you should be ok.
Also, once you put your initial fish in the tank, you might want to consider obtaining a small tank (like 5gal) to quarantine new fish after that.
yeah thats why i am being careful about what goes with it + going to watch his behavior. I am also considering some light planting i have gravel as subtrate at the moment and standard ~40 dollar hood so nothing special light wise so yeah on a budget. I have a friend + his girlfriend with multiple tanks in his house if it was a problem, also the local fish place i was getting my fish from are pretty chill pretty sure i could return if it was a real issue. i think my cousin who has the betta it's currently either in a 2.5 gallon or 5 gallon already most likely 2.5. :| I have like a 40 dollar gift card to the LFS place it's not a chain always had great success with fish from that place. was defiantly considering the corries etc like cermet suggested.

Sir Ben looks like he's having a much better time than Dustin Hoffman... and maybe like he and his lady friend are getting a bit too handsy even for the Globes.
Ricky Gervais started off the night with a jab at "Jodie Foster's beaver," but instead of getting pissy about what could be another negative jab on an already controversial movie (since it starred Mel Gibson), Jodie demonstrated the perfect response.
OK, this one was less of a reaction than a photobomb designed to get us to react... but it worked! Tina Fey edging in on Amy Poehler's close-up was funnier than most of Gervais jokes.
Elton John's bitchface when Madonna won Best Song for "Masterpiece" and she joked, "I hope he speaks to me for the next couple of years. He's known to get mad at me."
The photo I was really looking for was the opposite of this, where Dustin gave the camera a jaunty smile. But instead I found unimpressed Dustin Hoffman.

It's unclear if the choice to give Modern Family's thank-you speech in English and Spanish (thank you, Sofia Vergara) were a pre-established skit or impromptu... but no one told Sarah Hyland.
George Clooney took the sting out of his win over Michael Fassbender by jokingly thanking Fassy for taking over the "full-frontal nudity" roles. "You can play golf, with your hands behind your back," he said, prompting this great shark smile from the Shame star.

Right on, Phantom-like, about the Silmarillion!
The Silmarillion & Unfinished Tales have some of Tolkien's most amazing works. I believe you forgot to mention the Narn I Hin Hurin (tale of the children of hurin) which is complemented by The Tale of Turambar in Unfinished Tales. What a tragic tale that was! Years ago, I always thought that story would be perfect to make into a great movie.
But yeah, it would be impossible to do a movie of the entire book.

Facing down the prospect of a $1.6 billion deficit next year, the provincial government announced a blanket hiring freeze across the public service.
In an e-mail sent to all government employees, Robert Thompson, clerk of the executive council, announced that "effective immediately, routine departmental recruitment activities have been temporarily suspended until further notice."
Thompson said that departments will only be allowed to staff vacant positions "if it is absolutely necessary."
The e-mail also made a few points to reassure government workers, saying that the government wants to keep the public service as a "vibrant environment to enjoy progressive, exciting careers" even as new hiring is frozen.
"Through this process there will be difficult decisions," Thompson wrote. "However, as government considers its next steps, please be assured that we are committed to ensuring the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador remains home to a highly-professional and highly-qualified public service."
Within minutes, CUPE representative Wayne Lucas was reacting, saying that the government is "deliberately provoking" unions, in the midst of contract negotiations.
"I think it's extremely provocative," Lucas said. "We're into bargaining; the timing couldn't be worse."
Lucas said that he constantly hears that union leadership are just interested in membership numbers and union dues, but actually, he's really focused on the quality of services for citizens.
"We're concerned about the strong public services that we provide," he said. "If you're not going to hire a janitor in the school, as an example, that concerns me. If you're to going to hire somebody who answers the phone at Newfoundland and labrador Housing, that concerns me."

That's why I like dogs so much better than people!
Hey Stan, you posted a good one. Thanks, JD
Both are a part of why I love God so much.
Reminds me of this fable
The Origin of Pets
Where do pets come from?
It is reported that the following edition of the Book of Genesis was discovered in the Dead Seal Scrolls. If authentic, it would shed light on the question, "Where do pets come from?"
And Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me everyday. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome here and it is difficult for me to remember how much you love me."
And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that will bewith you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will know I love you, even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish and childish and unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourself."
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and he wagged his tail. And Adam said, "But Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and all the good names are taken and I cannot think of a name for this new animal."
And God said, "No problem! Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG."
And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and loved him. And Adam was comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He struts and preens like a peacock and he believes he is worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught him that he is loved, but no one has taught him humility."
And the Lord said, "No problem! I will create for him a companion who will be with him forever and who will see him as he is. The companion will remind him of his limitations, so he will know that he is not worthy of adoration."
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam. And Cat would not obey Adam.
And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was reminded that he was not the supreme being. And Adam learned humility.
And God was pleased. And Adam was greatly improved. And Dog wagged his tail.
And Cat did not care one way or the other.
Yep, cats are pretty much useless.

Favorite Gamefish: A Window To Your Soul
Hello to all,
I posted the message you'll find below on the "Striper and Coastal Gamefish" board and thought that I would extend the invitation to all boards for any replies. We could really use a fresh perspective if any are willing to offer it. I saw NrthFrk16's name on the striper board this week and welcome his participation. In fact, his dialogue with Juro is what prompted my message. Any that can take the time to jump over to the "Striper" board and add something to our discussion on the question that follows would be welcomed with open arms.
Thanks in advance,
-Mark Doogue
__________________________________________________ ____________________
Reading the Steelhead vs. Stripers posts between Juro and NrthFrk16 started me thinking on this subject. What they had to say impressed upon me the passion that Steelhead can bring out in people. My knowledge is severely limited, in fact the only fish I've caught on the fly are stripers. For that reason I'd be interested to read any and all posts you might have to offer.
Today's question:
If there was only one species of fish that you could catch for the remainder of your natural life, what would it be? Why?
The answer may lie in the location of the fish - the Monomoy flats; a wide river miles from the nearest phone/pager; the pond where your family's summer home is located. It could be the anglers that you meet, or the friendships that have developed while stalking a certain fish that may be the deciding factor.
What I'm driving at here is that I would never dream of limiting this discussion to clinical dissertations on the fighting habits of fresh or saltwater gamefish. I think you'll find that this question is a lot more about people than it could ever be about fish.
I posed this question so I believe it's only fair that I should offer my answer first.
As I mentioned earlier, I am the Newbie poster child. My only experience has been with stripers, and, regrettably, not that many to date. They are beautiful fish with an amazing power to weight ratio that I imagine will never cease to amaze me.
Having fished primarily with spinning gear growing up, catching my first striper on a fly was like sensory overload. I had practiced fly casting on a frozen reservoir with my little brother on Christmas morning, the wrapping paper hardly off of it before I was headed out the door for a "lesson." Now I was alone, though, and I had a clouser on(the casting lesson hadn't included a fly), and it was getting dark. I was busy concentrating on my arm motion, the loop in my fly line, stripping off line and trying to double haul, etc. That's when it happened, my fly hit the water on the forward cast because I got lazy. My back cast turned into a hook set and I had a fish on!
My rod doubled over like a wet noodle as the fish dove for the rocks along the channel. Line peeled off my reel and I nervously tried to slow it down. Every move the fish made came right through my 7wt like a lightning rod. A minute later it was over, I had my first striper. It was all of 20" but I couldn't have cared less. Looking back, my mistakes are what made it so enjoyable. I was fishing with light tackle and I had the drag set far to light for any large fish. If I had hooked a large striper I would have had either broken knuckles from trying to stop the reel, or I would have been out a brand new spool of line and backing.
Having said all that, none of it is important to me in the grand scheme of things. I started flyfishing to spend more time with my brother and father. My brother more so, but both he and my father were always out fishing, whether alone or together. I had been a rabid golfer for years upon years. I realized that our chosen pursuits were taking us in opposite directions. You never really know how much longer you have with the people you love so I figured I better trade in the pendulum golf swing for the whip of a fly rod. Don't get me wrong, I still manage to get out on the course, but last year I fished more days than I golfed.
At this point in my fishing career it's about the people I'm with rather than what is on the end of my line. If I had to choose, I'd pick stripers because it is the fish my little Bro' is rabid about. Any place I can find him chest deep in the ocean, or in his kayak, is a place I want to fish.
I look forward to meeting any people on this board as well.
Okay, the soapbox is yours, step right up.
RE:Favorite Gamefish: A Window To Your Soul
As I am short on time, my post will be a quick summary of how I actually feel.
I started fishing for steelhead because from what I had heard they were the everything fish. Quickly I lost the trout bug. It has been over a year, atleast, since I have inflated my tube and been out to a lake.
As I began educating myself about fishing for steelhead with the bug rod, I began to realize that fish were second to the culture. I read the famed works over and over again and did my best to tie those famous patterns. I began to idiolize the innovators, the authors and all those well known personalities.
The day I met Alec Jackson for the first was nothing short of amazing and the same goes for so many others.
My fist steelhead I ever caught was on the bug rod and that day was amazing also but nothing compares to sitting down and having casual conversations with people that are so famous.
I fish for steelhead to catch fish, duh!! But those fishless days just dont seem as fishless when you have the steelhead cutlture to particapate in.

>steelhead cutlture to participate in.
I think this last paragraph captures the essence. In other words, I can replace the "steelhead" word in your text by whatever fish does it for me and voila...
It's the tradition, the beautiful places, and everything that surronds the passion that does it, whether it's steelhead, trout, salmon, stripers, muskies or tigerfish. Mind you it's true that trout, atlantic salmon and steelhead have probably more tradition and writings dedicated to them than all others put together, but you get my point.
RE:Favorite Gamefish: A Window To Your Soul
If I can have only one fish to hunt. I would choose the steelhead.
I fish for steelhead because of where it takes me ..
Standing in the chilly water of the glacier fed river. I look east and see the snow capped mountains where the glaciers live. It begins to snow. Snowing so hard I cant see the other side of the river. A strange whooshing sound comes nearer and nearer. An eagle with a 6 foot wing span straining against the hard falling snow flies within 50 feet of me. A solitary snow goose follows behind. I watch as two large and chrome bright steelhead roll just yards away. Holding my breath I wait for the take but, nothing tugs on my line. The snow stops and the clouds are beginning to part revealing the tree lined bank of the far side. The winter sun is bright and shines directly onto the river. The river now displays its deep emerald green color. The gray of the day washing away in rays of gold. I know the fishing is over for the day. The steelhead will move into deeper water seeking better cover. I head for home in my old pickup marveling at the beauty of the valley glistening with a dusting of fresh snow. I have no fish for the day but I take with me the beauty and peace of the river valley and mountains. I will be back and I will have a steelhead tugging on my line. On this day it didnt matter.
A day not to long ago on the Skagit River.
RE:Favorite Gamefish: A Window To Your Soul
So, what species if only one...
When I look up through my barely visible breath I see towering conifers shattering the dull morning sunlight into streaks, spiritual rays, as if God himself spends his dawn moments in this same canyon where I stand alone with my soul. In what most would perceive as quiet, the churning of the river and sigh of the wind, the ruffles of vine maple leaves proclaim loudly the messages that blatant neon ads, television ads, chattering crowds and revving automobiles fail to convey.
A tiny sculpin darts underfoot, a prehistoric relic of a raging jurassic past, some distant millenia ago; before glaciation and tectonic violence that sculpted stone pillars and stacked pressurized blue ice on mountain elevations that only now in 2001 melts and carries the dust from the grinding of these ice floes into the aqua blue currents of steelhead rivers to the sea, to dissipate into the briny pacific like smolts venturing from their natal streams in search of pelagic currents they have never seen, nor had anyone spoken of - yet they yearn to see.
As different as the north pacific ocean is to it's freshwater counterpart, the river and sea are inseperable. Though most species would suffer a horrible death trying to bridge the two, some thrive on the differences. The pacific's rich organic soup and cyclic currents carry the young silver trout several thousand miles to feast on the riches of the ocean, to become the epitome of trout, a super-trout, not by steroids or pellets but by the hand of nature and her artistry. She paints streaks of mercury into every ray of the sea borne warrior's tail and carefully forges it's flanks with chrome plating. She paints delicate black spots over the emerald green / gunmetal blue back and streaks white pectoral fins as pure as snow. Inside all this armour she lights a flame and let's it go.
There are few honors that compare to being the one, standing with the humble sculpins in the shore rocks casting a line into the mystery of steelhead canyon.
That's the short version
No, it's not easy to say... one species.... I need more time...

IUKA – A woman involved in a head-on collision in Iuka on Feb. 13 died Friday.
Maria M. Ramsey, 42, of Iuka, died around 2:30 a.m. in the hospital Friday.
Three others were injured in the crash on Highway 172.
Highway Patrol Trooper Ray Hall said an investigation shows Ramsey was traveling westbound on Highway 172 when she apparently collided with a 2007 Ford Explorer driving by Amber Thornton, 19, of Cherokee, Ala.
Thornton and two passengers were also hospitalized. Their conditions were unknown Friday.
Hall said all of Thornton's passengers were properly restrained. It is unclear if Ramsey was restrained because the vehicle burned in the crash.

Trace Your Roots with DNA
Printer-friendly version
Over the past decade, genetic genealogy has graduated from pioneering research to one more tool in our family history arsenal. But just as the number of us taking DNA tests has grown, so have our genetic options. Come hear one of the co-authors of Trace Your Roots with DNA discuss how Y-DNA and mtDNA testing can be used to shed light on the paternal and maternal branches of your family tree, as well as how new (in many respects, revolutionary) autosomal tests can reveal previously unknown facets hidden anywhere in your family's past. Talk delivered in plain English!
Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak co-authored (with Ann Turner) Trace Your Roots with DNA, in addition to several other books. She is the founder of Unclaimed Persons, a volunteer group that helps medical examiners identify the unclaimed dead, and is a frequent consultant on both the NBC series "Who Do You Think You Are?" and Henry Louis Gates' PBS series.

Wikipedia's New Definition of Truth 428
Hugh Pickens writes "Simson Garfinkel has an interesting essay on MIT Technology Review in which he examines the way that Wikipedia has redefined the commonly accepted use of the word 'truth.' While many academic experts have argued that Wikipedia's articles can't be trusted because they are written and edited by volunteers who have never been vetted, studies have found that the articles are remarkably accurate. 'But wikitruth isn't based on principles such as consistency or observability. It's not even based on common sense or firsthand experience,' says Garfinkel. What makes a fact or statement fit for inclusion is verifiability — that it appeared in some other publication, but there is a problem with appealing to the authority of other people's written words: many publications don't do any fact checking at all, and many of those that do simply call up the subject of the article and ask if the writer got the facts wrong or right. Wikipedia's policy of 'No Original Research' also leads to situations like Jaron Lanier's frustrated attempts to correct his own Wikipedia entry based on firsthand knowledge of his own career. So what is Wikipedia's truth? 'Since Wikipedia is the most widely read online reference on the planet, it's the standard of truth that most people are implicitly using when they type a search term into Google or Yahoo. On Wikipedia, truth is received truth: the consensus view of a subject.'"

Piaget Altiplano watch
Timeless purity and classicism come together in this ultra-thin, white-gold watch, which pays homage to the elegance and refinement characteristic of Piaget. Asserting the minimalist spirit reflected in the Altiplano's extremely modern proportions, Piaget once again tests the limits of small mechanisms with two new records in the art of the ultra-thin. The first achievement is the integration of the micro-rotor principle, the thinnest self-winding mechanical movement at just 2.35 mm. The second achievement is the width, with a record for the slimmest watch of its type at 5.25 mm. The 3-level black dial also exudes purity with a sub-dial at four o'clock for the small seconds. A truly modern classic that is both sober and elegant.

WOW Toys have always been favourites in our house and Pippa's Princess Carriage is the ultimate toy for your little Princess. It includes Pippa and her fairy godmother as well as Snowdrop the horse.

The Bratz girls have gone crystal crazy, sporting sparkling new hairstyles and fabulous fashions in the new range, Bratz Crystalicious Deluxe (RRP £19.99).

Each pack contains three simple parts Safe-Saw, Re-clip and Lock-hinges and you will also find stickers and you you need to add is cardboard, a few bits from your recycling and imagination. To view the full range visit www.mymakedo.com

The BS LUG support project is now underway. (BS = Bahamas)
Presented short talk at the LUG meetinig on Saturday night. Several people seem interested and should be putting up pictures as well.
We shall see how it all proceeds and if there are any sales of the stuff on lulu. I need to start playing around with my pricing to see how that affects things.
The BS LUG support project is now underway. (BS = Bahamas)
Other LUG members are interested and there will be a short talk on this at thhe next BS LUG meeting this Saturday.
It will be interesting to see how this turns out.
Damian and I discussed a way for the bslug ( http://bslug.org ) to earn a little money for lug projects.
In this regard, I need to get moving and start work on ccprocess again. (ccprocess is a little script for preparing images for posting to certain web sites. It changes their sizes, rotates if necessary, and adds copyright or other text to the image metadata.)
I will put a tarball up somewhere and post a link when I get it to a slightly more useful state.
I will post the idea for raising lug money when we roll out in case other lugs or individuals wish to give it a shot.
From here:
I went here:
and then here:
Surfing the glass.
I don't think I have an ofb account and I don't feel like signing up for yet another account. I guess I will put this here.
I too am behind the GPL. Recent calls for its end are misguided in my humble opinion. That said, I think there is a different problem with the QT dual license than the one Eric addresses.
The problem I see (it may in fact be solved and I am just ignorant of the solution implemented) is that Q cannot take outside contributions without a problem or implementing a fix. So far, I only see one fix and am unaware of it being implemented.
The problem is that in order to accept outside fixes, the outside party must give them something of value for no charge, or they must pay the outside party or give the outside party an interest. This could lead to less contributions from outside parties and slow progress.
Of course, this issue arises wherever the project requires copyrights be assigned regardless of a dual license or only GPL license. It may just be more obvious or offensive to the third parties in the case of a dual license.
If this is unclear, I will try and refine at a later time.
Well, I have been playing with radio stuff again.
I have rivendell working. With jack. Playing with darkice and ices(2) and streaming to peercast or to icecast and letting peercast rebroadcast that.
Trying to solve the metadata issue. I can get metadata updates if I go to icecast->peercast, but then the player (xmms) closes on each metadata update - ouch.
If I go straight to peercast, I get no metadata for the stream at all.
Too many late nights recently. Shutting down now.
In keeping with my last entry...
Can we find a way to have a similar outcome even under existing laws.
I think the default should perhaps be something like CC BY-SA without the BY. Only for unmarked works mind you.
Had a discussion with someone over on /. as seen here:
Not sure it went anywhere though.
Just had a thought this morning that I want to remember.
I was reading a post somewhere talking of the previous opt-in copyright system (in the US?) versus the current opt-out system and how we need to go back to the opt-in system.
Off the top, I agreed with the sentiments. I mean, if you can't be bothered to put a copyright notice on your work, shouldn't it be public domain?
But, my brain can take some odd twists sometimes. While driving to the supermarket to get some milk (the shelves were bare) I had anotehr idea. What if we keep the present opt-out system with a key modification...
Unless otherwise stated, all works are automatically copyrighted under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license. Could be GPL for programs.
How would that change things? Would it be better for the average Joe? Or worse?
I need to think some more on this matter. If it would make things better, how can we move in that direction?
just finished winning nanowrimo 2004.
While doing it, I had the idea of making a specila distro for writing with next year (live cd and hd install)
The idea seemed to be well received. I have submitted a project request to sourceforge which is in processing now, initially rejected.
Initial boards here:
http://mathiasdm.proboards29.com/ http://www.linuxwriters.tk/
Hopefully to be replaced by boards at sorceforge if approved.
Why do I dream these dreams.
Playing with Asterisk lately. Good progress today. Hooked up to pstn, received calls.
Other * box doing lots more. Need to move configs over to new box.
Hardware research continues...

Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock ~ It Takes Two
So... I've been listening to Riding A Black Unicorn by Voltaire. Anyway, while listening I just happened to come across this picture of Han Solo on top of Swift Wind from She-Ra.
Needless to say, one thing lead to another and I ended up writing down lyrics for a "Weird Al" type "Star Wars/Han Solo" themed parody of Voltaire's song. I'm calling it Flying A Big White Falcon. Now we just need to find someone with some music/voice talent to record it.
The dark side falls on outer space
Ensnaring all without a trace
And I try to live
Smuggling spice on a lease
I tried to get up on my feet
Been so long, shackled down on my knees
For somewhere deep inside, I know
The force favors the bold
So tonight, I'm flying a big white falcon
Through the trench of Tarkin's exploding death star
And I shoot, shoot, shoot
From a blaster filled
With the hope of the rebellion
When the dark side is drowning you
And makes you feel alone and so old
Find me, and grab a hold
This blaster, it overflows
So tonight, you're flying a big white falcon
Through the trench of Tarkin's exploding death star
And you shoot, shoot, shoot
From a blaster filled
With the hope of the rebellion
Lords of Sith and Jedi Knights
Hand over the reins
Leave our path, that all nights
We find the will to break these chains
And fly!
So tonight, we're flying our big white falcons
Through the trench of Tarkin's exploding death star
And we shoot, shoot, shoot
From a blaster filled
With the hope of the rebellion
And the blood and tears of our enemies

I'm a few days late on this but and I'm home and no longer in Boston but I just listened to I'm Shipping Up To Boston ~ Dropkick Murphy's. After hearing it at the Brewers/Red Sox game I remembered how much that song kicks butt.
After 7 years of snubbing the band Nightwish for firing their lead singer, I decided to give their album Dark Passion Play a chance. Turns out it's pretty good and Anette Olzon's voice doesn't grate on me as much as it used to. However, I think the album would have been ten times better with Tarja singing lead vocals.
Just in case anyone hasn't heard of Nightwish, they are a Finnish symphonic/heavy metal band. Their signature sound used to be a mix of opera and heavy metal and it was extremely effective and really set them apart from other modern metal bands. I highly recommend their earlier albums: Oceanborn, Wishmaster, Century Child and Once.
If I was to pick one song that really encapsulates their sound at its best, it would be this one:
On my run this morning I went to the lighthouse my city has on Lake Michigan and on it somebody spray painted "2 Legit 2 Quit." So with that in mind I fired up the way back machine and listened to MC Hammer's '2 Legit 2 Quit"
That classic tune ruminating on those hypothetical and philosophical questions of life: C + C Music Factory's "Things That Make You Go Hmmm..."
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Since I've taken my new job and have about an hour commute each way, I've gone the way of listening to podcasts. Some of my favorites are Star Wars in Character, Indiana Jones in Character, The GR80's: The Great 80's Movie Debate.

Way back when I bought my first used car, friends of mine took me to a local scrapyard. We searched for abandoned and forgotten parts to "spruce" up my new ride. Had I had a bit more ingenuity, I may have stripped down the old car seats and removed the seat belts to make beautiful and functional bags.
Thankfully the team at Mariclaro had this fantastic idea and the results are certainly "Covet" worthy.
Cadillac Bags are available here and here.
Lincoln Bags are available here and here.
Now, if car branding and seat upholstery aren't quite your "bag," then Mariclaro has something else in the works. Bags made of old inner tubes. Here's a peek at a bag being assembled and the finished product:

This wiki page provides a list of resources within the NEEShub related to hybrid simulation (HS) and real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) for earthquake engineering. These technologies are enabling researchers to conduct a wide array of experiments to examine the behavior of structures under realistic conditions.
Hybrid simulation is a cost-effective experimental technique to evaluate the dynamic performance of large civil structures. In hybrid simulation, a civil structure is partitioned into two substructures, (1) physical substructure, which usually includes more complex components and (2) numerical substructure, which usually includes well-studied components. And the coupling between the two substructures is achieved by enforcing equilibrium and compatibility at the interface.
Advances in embedded systems with hard real-time computing capabilities have facilitated the use of real-time hybrid simulation methods. Real-time hybrid simulation, which is performing hybrid simulation at real time, offers the capability of preserving rate dependence while examining the global performance (the reference structure) and local performance (the physical substructure). In RTHS, the interface interaction between the substructures is enforced by servo-hydraulic actuators or shake table which act as a transfer system. The transfer system should be designed and controlled to ensure that all the interface boundary conditions are satisfied at real time. It is known that the stability and performance of RTHS are functions of three major factors, (1) the overall dynamics of a reference system, (2) how a reference system is partitioned into numerical and physical substructures, and (3) how well the interface boundary conditions are met by a transfer system. A typical RTHS system usually consists of the cyber and physical components,
Cyber Components Those components that execute user programmed digital components (numerical model and actuator motion control scheme) and subsequently communicate with the sensing and analog control system through I/O modulus. Real-time kernel is included to meet the time scale constrains of RTHS. Cyber components usually include, • Numerical Substructure (or Computational Substructure): Numerical model of the well-studied components in the reference structure. • Transfer System Control: Digital controller is usually included to further enhance the synchronization between computational and experimental substructures. • Visualization and Control Dashboard: User interfaces can be included to facilitate test operation and visualize results during the tests.
Physical components Physical components usually include, • Physical Substructure: It includes more complex components of the reference structure and it will be constructed in the lab. • Sensing System: In HS and RTHS, different sensors, e.g. accelerometers, LVDTs, force transducers, etc., are used to measure the restoring force of the physical substructure and monitor the performance. • Transfer System: The interface interaction between the substructures is enforced by servo-hydraulic actuators or shake table which act as a transfer system.

Katatonia announce Dethroned and Uncrowned album release on Kscope
In August 2012 Katatonia released Dead End Kings, their ninth studio album. The album was the band's most successful to date and cemented the Swede's position as masters of sorrowful metal. Dead End Kings was released on the Peaceville label, the band's home for the past 14 years. In September 2013 the band return with Dethroned and Uncrowned, their first release on Kscope, Peaceville's sister label.
Many of the ecstatic reviews the Dead End Kings received commented on the fact that the album marked another step in the band's journey towards a more progressive sound. Dethroned and Uncrowned allows them to explore these elements of the record further as they have reworked the album, creating new moods and textures while still staying truthful to the core of the songs. The album will be available on double LP, download and as 2 disc (CD & DVD-AV) digibook set, which also features a 5.1 surround mix of the album.

Built for season-long comfort, the Men's Powder Bowl Pants are built with a tough 2-layer GORE-TEX® fabric for durably waterproof/breathable and windproof protection, and articulated patterning for freedom of movement.
The construction of 2-Layer GORE-TEX® Products is unique. A GORE-TEX® membrane is bonded to an outer material, then combined with a free-flowing lining. The benefit: a soft, lightweight garment that keeps you dry and lets you move freely.
The GORE-TEX® membrane has 9 billion pores per square inch, with each pore 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet. These tiny holes are too small for water and wind to pass through from the outside. But these same pores are large enough for moisture vapor to pass through, so your body's perspiration is able to escape and you won't feel clammy or uncomfortable inside your jacket.

But the view from my deer stand does not indicate there has been any decrease in the deer herd. (but that debate is for another board)
No matter what we hunt, we all see a reality from our turkey setup or deer stand; I think your east / west analysis is right on the mark. There are some thoughts floating around about breaking the state into north / south zones for management purposes, maybe an east/ west is a better idea.
Because those zone 2, 5, & 7 tags are harder to come by I leave them for you guys, especially since for the time being there are unlimited tags here.
There are stocked pheasant areas (put & take) where special tags are issued for hen and rooster shooting. These are the old hens that have laid all the eggs they can and are put out as targets. In these areas it is more a like a shoot than a hunt.

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Kevin Curtis and prosecutors must wait until Monday to know if his case will go to a grand jury and if he will get bail.
Curtis, 45, of Corinth, was arrested Wednesday afternoon on two counts that he sent threatening letters to President Barack Obama, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker of Tupelo and others. Authorities state they also contained the deadly poison ricin, derived from castor beans.
He remains in custody in the Lafayette County Detention Center.
A three-hour hearing on those issues ended abruptly about 6:10 p.m. Friday when it became obvious to Magistrate Judge S. Allan Alexander that additional government testimony would push the proceeding at least another hour.
"I don't think we should stay until midnight," Alexander told Curtis, the attorneys and a packed courtroom as she called it a day and set the hearing to resume at 10 a.m. Monday.
His attorney, Christi R. McCoy of Oxford, put the day's only witness, FBI Special Agent Brandon Grant, through a series of pointed questions aimed at learning what evidence was real against Curtis and brought about his arrest or what was just supposition in anticipation of a wider investigation.
"Can anybody say he's ever made ricin or has the knowledge to do so," she asked Grant.
No, the agent answered, adding that others who knew him reportedly said they'd be surprised if he did.
"Does anything else link him to ricin?" McCoy continued.
Grant said no, that investigators await DNA and other lab analysis of what comes from Friday's search of Curtis' home in Corinth.
The weapons of mass destruction specialist also said that prior to Curtis' arrest, no evidence existed to show the Elvis tribute artist's fingerprints on the letters or their envelopes or where the letters were mailed.
Throughout the hearing, Curtis sat beside McCoy and occasionally shook his head in reaction to Grant's testimony. Other times he turned around and whispered to his 20-year-old daughter, Madison, who sat on the front row.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Chad Lamar directed Grant through his multi-page affidavit alleging various facets of the threatening letter scheme which provided Alexander probable cause to issue a criminal complaint against Curtis on Thursday.
Curtis is alleged to have mailed the letters between April 8 and April 17. They were postmarked in Memphis, which where mail from north Mississippi and southeast Tennessee generally goes.
They were identical in materials and wording, and were signed "I am KC and I approve this message."
Curtis was chosen as a likely suspect by sorting through and narrowing down a massive list of Wicker constituents who've written to him.
Lamar took Grant through a series of questions about his interview with Curtis after his arrest.
Grant said Curtis spoke freely about himself and his job termination by North Mississippi Medical Center, where Curtis claimed he discovered a cooler of body parts aimed at the black market for transplants.
Grant also said when Rep. Alan Nunnelee's Tupelo chief of staff, Mabel Murphree, was asked about Curtis, she said "he was nuts."
"Unless there's some conclusive tie to ricin, it doesn't matter how crazy he is," McCoy said to Grant.
"We're still trying to determine lots of things," Grant admitted. "I believe he is the man who sent these letters."
One issue for Magistrate Alexander will be whether Curtis poses a danger and can have bail set.
Grant claimed Curtis' ex-wife told investigators about his bipolar disorder, that he required medication, was extremely violent, threatened to kill her and raped her. Curtis slowly shook his head at this testimony.
He also testified that Curtis told him he became upset with elected officials when they didn't respond to his communications about various issues.

The museum at the Good Samaritan Inn archeological site by Ma'ale Adumim is the only mosaic museum in the country and one of only three in the world. Mosaics and other artifacts unearthed in Judea, Samaria and Gaza are on display at the museum. Some of the mosaics on display have been removed from various sites to protect them from harm, while others are reconstructions. Work on the mosaics, to prepare them for the public eye, has taken many years during which skilled professionals excavated the mosaics, preserved them and, where necessary, reconstructed them. During the preservation process, some mosaics were cast in natural materials such as lime, sand or cement as they would have been in ancient times.
The Good Samaritan Museum is situated half way between Jerusalem and Jericho, and is associated with the biblical Ma'ale Adumim which marked the border between the tribes of Judah and Benjamin (Joshua 16, 7; 18, 17). During the Byzantine era, the site was associated with the inn mentioned in the Parable of the Good Samaritan from the New Testament (Luke 10, 25-37). Members of three different religions appear in the parable: a Cohen, a Levi and a kind Samaritan. The design of the museum is based on the parable, as is the choice of mosaics.
Mosaics and other findings from Jewish synagogues, Samaritan synagogues and churches, are all on display at the museum. The mosaics are divided into two groups: one set of mosaics is displayed outdoors, while the other is displayed indoors. Among the artifacts is a mosaic from a synagogue in Gaza, now on display for the first time, as well as inscribed mosaics from Jewish synagogues. The inscriptions from the sacred site in Mount Gerizim can be dated back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries B.C. and make use of the adjectives "cohen" and "cohanim" as well as the lord's name "Jehovah". These findings indicate the existence of a Samaritan temple during that time. Also on display are partial mosaics from Samaritan synagogues describing the seven species and Torah arks, mosaics from the 4th and 6th centuries A.D. from the church in Shiloh, and more. In addition, other artifacts from the Byzantine era, such as a carved sermon table, a case for holy relics, an ornate baluster and a dining table, can also be seen on display. It is also worthwhile to take the time and appreciate the site itself, which has a history that can be traced back to the Second Temple and contains ancient cave dwellings, wells and a reconstructed Byzantine church.
Hours: Sun-Thu 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.

It's the movie, plain and simple. The twists in The Maltese Falcon are largely lifted from the earlier Op stories - Bob Teal's murder opens the Falcon story and carries that first mystery all the way through to the end. The funny thing is, The Maltese Falcon is a remake of a film 10 years earlier that is nearly the same film, in fact Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre are riffing off the first film's versions of their characters, it's eerie.
Oddly, I think Bogart would have been perfect as The Op, could have made a series out of that. He's short, can do overweight, and certainly not classically handsome. But it's not what Hollywood wanted, sadly. Because of that film and that role for Bogie, Sam Spade became a household name for a private eye despite having just 1 good story in Hammett's writings (there are 3 more shorts but they're not as good). It's really the Op who is the private detective that should have been on everyone's mind.
When I started reading the Op's short stories, they were pretty dry but it was clear where Raymond Chandler got his inspiration. Once I got to the longer short stories, as well as the 2 Op books, the Op becomes more of a rounded character and works more in the violence and gray areas and it's like reading Philip Marlowe with 30% less description of the furniture. Hammett really created an archetype with the Op.
I read The Girl with the Silver Eyes last night, great stuff, lots of twists without feeling cheap and I was gladly surprised to find about 2/3rds in that it is the second half of a 2-parter, the first part I had read the night before. The Op mows down his own informant with the client's car.

JACKSON – Mississippi's top soldier, Adjutant Gen. Augustus L. Collins, said the state's members of the military have a long "lineage" of acts of bravery while fighting for their country.
Collins, a Booneville native, was the keynote speaker at Thursday's Mississippi Economic Council annual meeting where the theme was a salute to the state's military personnel.
Speaking to a crowd of about 2,000 at the Jackson Convention Complex, Collins told the story of the 1847 Battle of Buena Vista during the Mexican-American War where the Mississippi Rifles under the command of Jefferson Davis played a key role in fighting back a larger Mexican force and turning the tide in the war toward the United States.
"That lineage is alive today in the 155th Combat Unit," said Collins, who was the commander of the 155th Separate Armored Brigade while on active duty in Iraq in 2005. The mobilization in 2005 was the state's largest since World War II.
Collins said during the deployment to Iraq he saw time and again acts of bravery by Mississippians under his command.
He told the story of Sgt. First Class Ellis Ray Martin of Summit who was severely injured by a roadside bomb in the infamous "triangle of death" region. He said Martin is alive today because of the initial care he received from Sgt. Robert Shane Pugh of Meridian.
The major general went on to say that Pugh, a combat medic, also was critically injured by the bomb, but was able to give instructions to other soldiers on the scene on how to care for Martin until help arrived. But the help did not arrive in time to save Pugh.
"There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friend," said Collins quoting the biblical passage from John 15:13.
Gov. Phil Bryant, who named Collins adjutant general in January 2012, also spoke and praised the military and what it means to the state, both in terms of security and the economy.
He said the state's defense industry employs Mississippians who "build equipment and weapons to defend liberty across the world."
Collins commands more than 12,000 National Guard and Air National Guard members.
