2.11: Bar Graphs
Have you ever looked at a bar graph? Bar graphs are used all the time.
It is the first week of September and while there are still vegetables growing in Alex and Tania's garden, there has been a lot of harvesting during the months of July and August. Tania and Alex have kept track of how many vegetables were harvested each month. Here is their data:
|30 carrots
|60 carrots
|10 tomatoes
|20 tomatoes
|25 zucchini
|30 zucchini
|15 squash
|25 squash
|10 potatoes
|20 potatoes
Tania and Alex want to display their data. Tania wants to make a bar graph that shows the data for July. Alex is going to create a display for August.
We make bar graphs from a set of data. It is called a bar graph because it is a visual display of data using bars. The number of items tells us how many bars the graph will have. The amount of each item tells us how tall each bar will be. Let's make a graph of the following data. It tells how many hours students in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grade classes volunteered in a month.
|Number of Hours
You can see that this information has been written in the form of a frequency table. It shows us how many hours each class has worked.
Now we can take this and draw a bar graph to show us the information.
To make a bar graph, we draw two axes. One axis represents the items, and the other represents the amounts. The "items" in this case are each class. The amounts are the number of hours the classes worked. For this example, our axes might look like the graph below. Remember to label each axis!
Next, we need to choose scale for the amounts on the left side of the bar graph. We can use scales of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 1,000, or more. To choose the scale, look at the amounts you'll be graphing, especially the largest amount. In our example, the greatest value is 88. If we used a scale of 100, the scale marks on the left side of the graph would be 0, 100, 200, and so on. It would be very difficult to read most of our amounts on this scale because it is too big. Every amount would fall between 0 and 100, and we would have to guess to be more specific! On the other hand, if we used a small scale, such as 5, the graph would have to be very large to get all the way up to 90 (since our greatest value is 88).
It makes the most sense to use a scale that goes from 0 to 90 counting by 10's. That way each value can easily represent the hours that each class worked.
Here is what the graph looks like with the scale filled in.
Now we can draw in the bars to represent each number of hours that the students worked.
Look at how easy it is to get a visual idea of which class worked the most hours and which class worked the least number of hours. We can use bar graphs to give us a visual sense of the data.
Now let's practice by using a bar graph to analyzing data.
Example A
Which state has the highest average price for gasoline?
Solution: Hawaii
Example B
Which state has the lowest average price?
Solution: Missouri
Example C
Which state has the second highest average price?
Solution: California
Tania and Alex want to display their data. They have decided that bar graphs are the best way to do that. Tania is going to make a bar graph that shows the vegetable counts for July.
Let's start by helping Tania to make a bar graph to represent July's harvest. Here are her counts.
30 carrots
10 tomatoes
25 zucchini
15 squash
10 potatoes
Now we can make the bar graph. We know that the amounts range from 10 to 30, so we can start our graph at 0 and use a scale that has increments of five. Here is the bar graph.
Next, Alex can create his bar graph for August. Here is his data.
60 carrots
20 tomatoes
30 zucchini
25 squash
20 potatoes
Notice that these numbers are different than the ones Tania had. Here our range is from 20 to 60. Because of this, we can use a scale of 0 to 60 in increments of five. Here is Alex's bar graph.
Here are the vocabulary words in this Concept.
- Bar graph
- A way to organize data using bars and two axes. One axis represents the number of each item and the other axis represents the item that was counted.
Guided Practice
Here is one for you to try on your own.
Based on this graph, how many seventh graders have a favorite activity of watching tv?
First, you can look at the column that refers to television. Then look at the vertical axis.
9 seventh graders have "watching tv" as their favorite activity.
Video Review
Here is a video for review.
Khan Academy Reading Bar Graphs

Found not guilty of murdering her daughter Caylee, Casey Anthony now serves out a year's probation on an unrelated charge in Florida. But an Anthony prosecutor who remains convinced of her guilt says in a perfect world, Anthony's real sentence will be fading into obscurity.

Speaking with Matt Lauer on TODAY Tuesday, retired prosecutor Jeff Ashton said his wish is for the public to turn a blind eye to the woman front in center in what was called "The Trial of the Century."
"You know, there's justice in the court, and then there's a larger sense of justice," Ashton told Lauer. "I would hope that people leave Casey Anthony alone; I don't want anyone to do anything to Casey or to have anything to do with her.
"My advice to people who are angry about (her acquittal) is to ignore Casey, and I hope that's what they do. I hope that someday — and I know this probably won't happen — that Casey Anthony will invoke a "who's that?'"Story: The man who tried to convict Casey Anthony tells his story
The former Florida assistant state attorney Ashton talked to Lauer about his new book "Imperfect Justice," out in bookstores today, in which he gives a prosecutor's perspective on the case, and minces no words in blasting Anthony and her defense team. In the book, he calls the defense's trial arguments "a complete crock of crap" and said he believes Anthony blatantly lied in telling psychiatrists that her father George had molested her and that he had killed Caylee by drowning her.
Anthony was found not guilty of murder, aggravated child abuse and manslaughter July 5 at the close of a sensational, six-week trial that saw more than 100 witnesses — but never Anthony herself — take the stand. The verdict came some 1,085 days after Casey's mother Cindy called 911 to report her nearly 3-year-old granddaughter Caylee missing in July 2008.
While jurors, who deliberated just 11 hours before returning the not guilty verdict, have said the prosecution failed to build a compelling case on exactly how Caylee Anthony died, Ashton told TODAY he believes he and his fellow prosecutors "excluded everything but homicide."Video: 'Ignore Casey Anthony,' urges ex-prosecutor (on this page)
"We couldn't provide the jury with clear evidence on a silver platter of exactly how Caylee died," he said. "Really, the burden of proof on the state isn't necessarily to prove exactly how the homicide was committed but simply that it was committed."
Ashton said he would have relished having Anthony take the stand and having the opportunity to ask her about the "Bella Vita" tattoo she had inked on her shoulder only weeks after she said Caylee had gone missing. "Bella Vita" means "beautiful life" in Italian.
"I think if I only had one (question), it would be, 'What does Bella Vita mean to you?' "Ashton said. "One of the great issues that was never explained and to me, (and) was the clearest expression of the reason for the murder, was the tattoo.
"You know, your daughter is missing or dead for three weeks and you get a tattoo that says Bella Vita? I would love to hear the explanation for that."Story: Retired prosecutor calls Casey Anthony attorney 'smarmy'
In his 322-page book, Ashton writes that late in the trial, Anthony's attorneys approached the prosecution about a plea deal, and they, believing the jury would not convict Anthony on a death penalty, offered two options: A second degree murder plea without allocution into how Caylee actually died, or a possible manslaughter charge with Anthony fully coming clean on what she knew. While her lawyers approached Anthony about pleading guilty to a lesser charge, she refused to even listen to a deal.
In his interview with Lauer, Ashton said he has largely come to terms with the not guilty verdict, even while he remains convinced of Anthony's guilt. He conceded that "there (are) some small things…that I wish we had done differently," but "the jury decided that there was reasonable doubt. Obviously, I don't agree, but that was their decision."Story: Anthony jurors lay low after names released
In his book, Ashton directs most of his vitriol toward Anthony's defense team, calling Anthony a liar and saying "in many ways, I think the defense came to mirror the client they represented."
Of Anthony's attorney Jose Baez, Ashton writes, "There is an unearned air of arrogance about the man that is incredibly frustrating to witness. The word I used in describing Jose is smarmy; somebody who is slick, underhanded and doesn't shoot straight."
He also writes he hoped attorney Cheney Mason being later added to Anthony's defense team "would class up the defense team tactics," but instead, "Baez seemed to bring Cheney down to his (level)."
In a statement published by the London Daily Mail, Baez responded to Ashton's characterization of him, saying, "I am both surprised and somewhat disappointed he has chosen to attack me on a personal level."

Given the prevalence of works by much younger artists in this exhibition, it is worth noting that Cézanne was more than fifty years old when he completed Bathers. The artist did hundreds of paintings of bathers over his career. The current work clearly relates to a preparatory work of the same name, Bathers 1890–92, and to another small study dated 1899–1900.1 This was typical of Cézanne's working method. He produced study after study of the same subject, gradually refining his compositions until he achieved one which appeared to be the summation of them all.
In this work the arrangement of the bathers is brilliantly orchestrated—a complex grouping of foregrounded figures is contrapuntally arranged against another group occupying the middle ground. There is a strong classical echo to the triangular, pedimental architecture of these four foregrounded figures, anchoring the work compositionally. The effect is to create an architecturally interlocking circle of figures surrounding a group of bathers in the water or sitting on the banks. The corporeal presence of the foregrounded figures and the luminosity of their skin tones are echoed in the volumetric forms of the cumulus clouds that loom in the background. We see Cézanne's technical confidence in the way the terrain has been flattened and the treescape simplified. He uses trees here not for their anecdotal fidelity, but to anchor the composition at key points.
There is an undeniable sense of ritual in this work. Some commentators interpret the scene as baptismal—Cézanne became a devout catholic in 1890—with the figure at left pouring water over the head of a partially submerged bather to his right.2 But it is also clear here that Cézanne mixes the sacred with the profane. There is a celebratory, Arcadian purity which finds its mirror in the compositional structure as a whole, whether it be the way in which light reflects off the facets of the bodies or in which it is refracted off the looming cloud masses. A paganistic, sensual exuberance informs the way in which the figures circle the bathers in the water, which Henri Matisse's famous The dance 19103 will later recall. (Matisse was a great admirer of Cézanne's work and owned a number of his paintings.) And it is probably no coincidence that the 'attendant' holds a luminous, vulva-shaped towel at the very centre of the composition. Grammatically, the title Baigneurs does not preclude the possibility that some of the participants may be female—the seated figure who is, significantly, adjacent to the towel, appears to be clearly female, for example. Bathers, then, is redolent with meaning. This is a powerfully multivalent work, and along with the later The large bathers paintings of 1894–1905 and 1900–054, is considered to be one of Cézanne's great masterpieces.

Drake is a very driven 75 lbs chocolate who is an awesome house dog and even better in the field. Once the word duck or bumper is said he becomes a focused hunting machine. He was flawless on his way to his HR title and is very willing to work.
The plan for Drake is to gain his HRCH next spring/summer and follow up that with AKC test to achieve his MH. His marking is great, blinds are good, and is a pleasure to have in the field and to train. He has been trained by 2 awesome pro trainers and Drake makes me look good at test and in the field. I would not trade him for the world.
Hips are GOOD and elbows are Normal. OFA# LR-194820G24-VPI and LR-EL52424M24-VPI. EIC came back clear and Eyes came back normal.
His pedigree has plenty of titled dogs ranging from GRHCH and NFC AFC. His first year hunting he was on over 150 birds and was awesome to have in Canada for his first year out. He has received many of compliments at training, walking around town, and at hunt test for his looks and desire. 3 MH and 1 NFC AFC and 4 FC AFC are in his pedigree.
Sire is UH GRHRC Rogue River Jaeger Miester MH and Dam is Kellogg's Red Hot Rosie.
Call Lance for more information, pictures and pedigree will be sent on request @ 6168892727 or email at email@example.com or email@example.com

Alright, Alright, there are a lot of people on this forum who probably hold the belief that I just Love and Worship everything that George Lucas has spit out to us in the SW movies over the last 24 years; However, this is not true, It's just that I hear so much negative crud on this forum that I try to be one of the few positive voices on this forum! Of recent, alot of people have complained about the apparent holes that exist in TPM, and I try to defend it by saying the same holes and bad acting that people complain about in TPM also exist in the OT but who cares, and I never really point too many of them out! Well, guess what, I got one, I GOT one, a NEW one and it's in ANH!!! Atleast I've never heard or seen anyone bring this up...
INT: DS Hangar Bay
Capt: There's no one aboard Sir. According to the log, the crew abandoned ship right after takeoff. It must be a decoy Sir. Several of the escape pods have been jettisoned.
Vader: Did you find any droids!
Capt: No Sir, if there were any on board they must also have jettisoned!
Vader: Send a scanning crew aboard. I want every part of this ship checked.
Alright, there's the setup, and we all know what happens next, the scanning crew goes aboard, our heros attack, the stormtroopers go up the ramp, our heros attack, the next scene is the: "TK421 why aren't you at your post". Next thing we see is the door opens up and there is Han in stormtroopers outfit with Chewie, who quickly dispatches of the Imperial officer!
Alright, we get the impression that Han was pretending to escort chewie like a prisoner up to that control room. This would be acceptable if he were just walking through the halls of the Death Star, but how is it that our disguised stormtroopers were able to walk a Wookie out of the Falcon in front of a squad of stormtroopers and no questions being asked, and with no report about the ship being scanned? Thoughts?

Use your slow cooker to make tasty Italian tortilla roll-ups with turkey and cheese. They make great lunch leftovers, too!
Turn these wraps into sandwiches by substituting hoagie buns for the flour tortillas. Be sure to thoroughly drain the turkey and veggies.
For potlucks, sports events or family gatherings, skip the tortillas. Instead, purchase 20 dollar buns, and cut 5 slices of cheese into fourths. Use about 1/4 cup turkey mixture and one cheese piece for each mini sandwich.
For a tasty twist, spread pesto on the tortillas before adding the filling.

Binghamton University students celebrate Spring Fling
Binghamton University students will officially bid adieu to cold weather during Spring Fling festivities on Saturday, April 30. Students will usher in the spring with one of the University's oldest traditions, the annual "Stepping on the Coat," and a jam-packed schedule of music, food and fun. The events are open to the community.
Festivities will begin at noon Saturday, April 30, in front of the upper level of the University Union. A Binghamton University tradition, the "Stepping on the Coat" ceremony, is scheduled to begin at 12:50 p.m. A rite of spring since 1962, the coat-stomping ritual has, according to students, become vital to the onset of warm weather after Binghamton's long winters.
Activities will include interactive booths and vendors. A variety of bands and musicians, including Binghamton University's own Rhythm Method a capella group, as well as artists such as Jared Campbell, Lemonstone, Four Weeks Notice, Sinister Yu, Allister and Code Anchor will provide musical entertainment throughout the day. Additional entertainment will be provided by the Nervous Breakdown break dancing troupe and comedians Pappy Parker Players. Carnival rides lined up to entertain the crowds include the Round-up, the Hurricane and a Ferris wheel.
Free food including hamburgers, hotdogs, veggie burgers, lemonade and iced tea will be served. Spring Fling will close with a live performance at 7 p.m. by the band Less Than Jake.
Spring Fling is sponsored by the a selection of campus offices and organizations including the Student Association, the Office of Campus Activities and Orientation, and the Division of Student Affairs.
For more information about Spring Fling, call 607-777-2811.

Happy hour started early today for brewer Boston Beer (SAM), which bubbled 15% higher in afternoon trading after the company's second-quarter earnings report from yesterday smashed expectations.
For the period ended, June 29, the craft beer brewer reported earnings of $19.7 million, or $1.45 a share, up from $14.4 million, or $1.06 a share a year prior. Boston Beer reported revenue of $181.3 million.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters forecasted earnings of $1.34 a share on revenue of $175 million.
In a press release on the company's website, Founder and Chairman Jim Koch credited some of the company's success to the popularity of several brews including the company's seasonal beers and the Samuel Adams Boston Lager brand.
"We were also delighted to learn, that for the fifth year in a row, our wholesalers ranked us the number one beer supplier in the industry, in the annual poll of beer wholesalers conducted by Tamarron Consulting, a consulting firm specializing in the alcohol beverage distribution industry," said Koch.
We'll say 'cheers!' to that!

i hope you're kidding, but hey, you know how fashion sometimes goes in circles? maybe in ten years time that'll all be the craze... OH WAIT - these never went into fashion, so they will never be able to "come back"...
(but on the topic of reading the word "priest", a few years ago for the Easter play at church i wanted to play Jesus, but they wouldn't let me, said because i was a girl. but i still always think it was something to do with being asian.)
yeah random story of my life. um back on the real topic, maybe if you want to outshine all the girls going you could further develop gansta by wearing a large run dmc tshirt and having a boom box as your bag/clutch/large clutch. that'll show 'em who's the prom queen - if that's something that exists in real american life, - sorry the only things i know about proms are from watching american movies like 'mean girls' and '10 things i hate about you'. LOL i feel so uneducated when it comes to "proms". haha.

Not everyone in New Jersey wears that! New Jersey is actually the richest state because we pay the highest taxes and only get 60 cents to the dollar back. A ton of really classy people live and grew up in New Jersey. For instance: Martha Stewart (grew up), Meryl Streep (grew up), Stephen Colbert (lives), Alexander Hamilton (grew up), Thomas Edison lived and invented pretty much EVERYTHING in New Jersey. Buzz Aldrin (grew up), Jack Nicholson (grew up), Bruce Springsteen (grew up). Okay? That's just A FEW. New Jersey is actually a really classy state if you actually bothered to look at anything except for that and "The Sopranos" for your opinion.

I had the pleasure of flicking thru a prom magazine the other day (I didnt buy it) and I too was speechless at many of the designs - the hairstyles, the makeup, everything! "Look, I too can put my hair in a shitty bun-thing and have a piece of hair at each side of my face!!"

this is scaring me.
like, really scaring me.
actually prom dresses scare me in general.
all in bad jewel tones with bedazzled cross straps.
and they all have their hair up in that ridiculous updo.
when i go to prom i'm wearing a cotton evening gown, with my hair down and i'll wear flowers in my hair and not match my date's suit.

- April 23, 2009 at 10:15 PM
Emily M-T, you're right, but just because people in New Jersey have money does not make them classy. And as far as celebrities go, Whitney Huston and Bobby Brown lived one town over from me and god only knows what kind of crazy whack crack they were doing in that huge house. Mike Tyson also had a house near there for awhile and my parents told me he threw a couch out the window once. But yeah. I mean great people do come out of NJ too, just like every other state. But it's certainly not because of money or class. What NJ thrives on are it's introverts. There's one in every one hundred who breaks the mold and does great things. Cause it's true what they say...only the strong survive.

- Arabelle said...
new jersey might have edison, martha stewart, and hell, even if we produced jesus, that doesn't mean we're angels.
that being said, most of the celebs don't come from north jersey (?), and they certainly don't live here now, unless you count hoboken, but thats hipster so it doesn't really count for north jersey in summary compared to newark and union.
i know we produced some great people, but they don't make up for the fact we have gangs and all those terrible things. they are the exception. wonderful exceptions, but exceptions nonetheless. i don't live in the presence of edison or martha stewart, i live in the presence of the projects. my view is different from yours because we live in different parts of NJ.
and also, the shot the sopranos like a mile from my house. so. yeah.

Here's a list of tools you will need to start: Jewelers' pandora jewellery wire cutters - If you can only afford one pair, get memory wire shears. pandora charms These are designed to make clean cuts on tough memory wire, so can also be used for pandora charms uk softer wires. Chain-nose pliers sometimes called cheap pandora charms needle-nose pliers – Very versatile for picking up and grasping small items, pandora charms sale bending eye pins, closing jumps rings, even closing crimp beads. discount pandora charms Round-nose pliers – Used for creating loops on beaded head and eye pins. Can also be used for winding your own jump rings and as the second pliers you'cheap pandora ll need for closing jump rings. Optional pliers – Wire-looping pliers which have several graduated circumferences to allow you to form perfectly uniform jump rings and loops in place of the pandora discount uk round-nose pliers mentioned above. Crimping pliers which have little notches to allow you to both flatten a crimp bead and then bend it to form a rounded finished look instead of the flat crimp you pandora uk get using the chain-nose pliers. As for materials, I recommend some assortment packs of beads in coordinating colors, some decorative metal spacers, seed beads in both silver and gold These can serve as spacers and beautifully set off pandora sale your other beads., tube-shaped crimp beads Buy the best you can find – these are what hold it all together!, head and eye pins. Other than that, let your choice of project be your guide. You might want some silver or pewter charms.

Beijing and vicinity
On a trip to China in November 2011, we visited Beijing (Temple of Heaven Park, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Yuanming Yuan and Panjiayuan Market). We also hiked 5 miles along the Great Wall at Jinshanling, about 90 minutes northeast of Beijing.
Although not in the "vicinity" of Beijing --- it's a 1 1/2 hour flight or 11 hour train ride to the west of there) --- I'm including Xi'an, the ancient capital of China where the first Emperor Qin Shi Huang was buried along with his famous retinue of terra cotta soldiers.
So, I searched for other gigapan members who'd passed the same way, found pictures of the same subjects and added them to the gallery. The panoramas in this gallery are the result.

Both the Dolphins and Canes this year is going to be like getting hit in the balls intentionally...
Kansas State seemed almost bored, and certainly didn't play its best game. Klein looked like he was choosing between 7 yards on read one or 9 yards on read two. We lined up in consistent wide splits and didn't vary or mask anything, let alone any attempt to disrupt. I've followed the Canes for 40+ years and after two games this is the most passive and vulnerable defense I can remember. We need to petition for 14 defenders. At this point it resembles 8.
Fisch was even more pathetic. He invents demons. Morris has very little touch, which limits our permutations, but against a moderate defense like Kansas State there's no reason basic power sets mixed with play action downfield darts couldn't have put up 24+.
On another site last week I posted that it was bizarre we hadn't been blown out in Golden's tenure, given the glaring weaknesses. This result was a natural regression to the mean but I hoped we'd see evidence of a smarter and more physical Canes team this season.
One wag suggested that the NCAA may take pity and leave us alone.
Still, I have tickets to Bethune and will probably be there. Can't get enough of that exciting venue, especially at noon and in mid September.
Met Clinton Portis today....took a pic with him. Humble guy.
Holy cow why is Stephen Morris so bad
We are a very bad football team. That's all I need to say.
Sorry I had to bring this back on you since all if it was completely incorrect.
Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons. Doesn't seem right.
I met Howard Schnellenberger today, got a pic with him. Awesome guy. He was handing out hats at the Dolphins game. He game me an extra one and asked if I wanted it autographed, got it made out to my son.

As for the ancient words well, the trick is to forget the third declension and think of the AG accusative as the nominative more or less in these cases
True, it's not as if our vocabulary hasn't changed along grammar but in general Greek is rather "conservative" really.

There are of course many resources available to learn Modern Greek; I've downloaded the 3-volume course from http://fsi-language-courses.com/ for example, tapes and all. Before really getting into it, though, I was wondering how much of a help (or hindrance) that would be in learning Ancient Greek?
If Modern Greek is to Ancient Greek as Italian is to Latin, let's say, I could see how it would be a considerable help. If I were fluent in Italian, I'm sure learning Latin would be much easier than it is for me as a monoglot English-speaker.
On the other hand, if Modern Greek is to Ancient Greek more like Modern English is to Anglo-Saxon, which I always thought was closer to the truth, then it wouldn't be any help at all (other than building up your brain's language muscles that much more.)
Of course, Modern Greek would be of interest in and of itself, but if anyone could throw any light on how much help it would be in the long, slow process of getting somewhere with Ancient Greek, I would appreciate it!

Dir. Joe Johnston
Upon returning to his ancestral home to help search for his missing brother, Lawrence Talbot (Benicio Del Toro) is viciously attacked by the same mysterious beast that is revealed to have torn his brother to shreds. Quickly recovering from the ordeal, Talbot soon realises that the beast was a werewolf and he is now marked by the same curse – doomed to transform into a slathering beast under the light of the full moon. Can his father (Anthony Hopkins) and his brother's aesthetically pleasing widow (Emily Blunt) help him find a cure before he tears them limb from limb?
It's an amazing feat that The Wolfman made it to cinemas at all given its troubled production history. The project was originally set to be helmed by Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo and various Nine Inch Nails music videos), however he was dissatisfied with the level of studio interference and was soon replaced by director for hire Joe Johnston (Jurassic Park III). Countless reshoots, re-cuts and test audience screenings later and The Wolfman has finally been allowed to see the light of day. The film was written by Andrew Kevin Walker – the man who penned the darker than dark Se7en and 8MM – and even though it has the potential to, it never really reaches the dark depths explored in those films. It is obvious that Universal has tried to make The Wolfman appeal to the lowest common denominator. While not a bad film, it certainly could have been a much better film. Sticking fairly closely to the original material its true potential shines through momentarily in a number of brilliantly realised scenes. Unfortunately these scenes are sprinkled sparsely throughout an otherwise fairly average - even a pretty mediocre film.
At the heart of the story is a vague exploration of the darker side of human nature. Hopkins' Talbot Senior pontificates on this concept quite a lot throughout proceedings and eventually drives home the point, just in case we didn't get it. To be a werewolf is to be stripped of civility and reconnected with dormant primal instincts. Talbot embodies the conflict between human intellect and base instinct.
The film manages to evoke a deliciously dark gothic atmosphere – particularly during the scenes set in the asylum and the Talbot mansion. Danny Elfman's score, which frequently rekindles memories of Wojciech Kilar's score for Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula is also an effective aspect. Curt Siodmak's poem – especially written for the original – even makes an appearance here and stirs up a potent sense of established folklore:
'Even a man who is pure in heart And says his prayers by night May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms And the autumn moon is bright.'
The cast is top notch and while Hopkins and Blunt aren't really given much to do, they still manage to flesh out their slight characters. The romantic angle between Del Toro and Blunt is too rushed and basically it appears out of nowhere and only seems included out of some sort of unspoken obligation to the conventions of this 'type' of film - ie the clichéd romance sub-plot. Here it is woefully under-explored and feels tacked on. Some nonsense to justify it is gurgled by a gypsy woman about the werewolf's only hope for survival lying with a woman who loves him. As the token love interest Blunt is strong willed and determined without seeming anachronistic and the scene where she pleads for the monster to recognise her as he bears down on her is strangely intense – all the more so because of Blunt's performance. Del Toro is his usual charismatic self and he endows Talbot with the same heavyset sadness and quiet doom that Lon Chaney Jnr evoked in the character in the original film – a gentle soul trapped in a body raging out of control. Elsewhere they are ably supported by a very suave Hugo Weaving as Scotland Yard Inspector Francis Aberline who isn't so much a character than a plot device to set up a potential sequel.
The look of the monster itself is genuinely striking. Building on the look of the original wolfman and actually improving and enhancing it with contemporary makeup effects - he still retains the form of a man, but he is not quite a man. The sight of Del Toro skulking through the fog shrouded woods is the stuff of iconic and nightmarish fairytale imagery. A slight detraction from this is the sight of the werewolf legging it on all fours – like so much in the film, it is too obviously computer generated. Not a lot is made of the transformation sequences – they were actually quite underwhelming. The sound effects of bones cracking and snapping into new and bizarre positions was more effective than the visual aspect – Del Toro's limbs become elongated and he sprouts hair and fangs while his computer generated face contorts in pain. The end. Whilst not terrible by any stretch of the imagination, these sequences still rely too heavily on CGI that will no doubt look dated in a few years.
Johnston's direction is competent if a little rudimentary. Like Raimi with Drag Me To Hell, Johnson relies too heavily on orchestrated jump moments. Whilst not particularly scary The Wolfman is still specifically designed to keep audiences on their toes and they are jolted into submission at regular intervals. This becomes very tired very quickly. Only occasionally does Johnston flex his ability to create tension and suspense. This is realised very well in the scene when Talbot returns to his home after realising his father's dark secret and searches the house for him. The culmination is a ridiculous, though admittedly crowd pleasing battle between father and son in front of a roaring fire – made all the more ridiculous by the gesticulations of Hopkins who even tears off his shirt in the most macho-dramatic manner. Its all a bit Ken Russelly circa Women in Love. But with werewolves.
A number of pulse-pounding moments come courtesy of the scene in which the wolfman stalks and violently slays most of the inhabitants of a gypsy campsite and the scene in which Talbot gets all hairy and toothy while trussed up in a lecture theatre full of psychiatrists as they jostle to escape. Homage is also paid to The Werewolf of London in a prolonged rooftop chase scene through the city. The film is incredibly violent – limbs are torn off, heads are knocked off, stomachs are gashed open and entrails ripped out and flung about with wild abandon. Of course it's all too outlandish to be really disturbing, but it is capably realised nonetheless.
Ferocious and often quite intense, The Wolfman is an entertaining romp, but it only ever shows glimpses of the classic it could have been and will probably not hold up after multiple viewings.

Guitar World Staff Picks: Paul Riario's Top 5 Acoustic Guitars of 2012
Two thousand twelve seemed to be the year of the acoustic.
With hits like "I Will Wait" from Mumford & Sons or "Home" by Phillip Phillips, a host of this year's most popular songs featured an acoustic guitar as the prominent instrument fueling the tune. Even mega-stars like Katy Perry took notice and stripped away the electronic beats of her hit song "The One That Got Away" to deliver a sensitive acoustic performance of it.
So, sticking with this trend, I'd say it's a good time to consider going unplugged and writing that next hit we'll all be singing along to next year. Find the acoustic room, check out my top five picks and find the one that won't go away.
05. Fender USA Select Kingman "C"
Fender is primarily known for its electric guitars, like the legendary Stratocaster and Telecaster as well as many other iconic models, but not so much for their acoustic instruments. Well, I can tell you the Fender USA Select Kingman "C" ($2,660) will make you change your mind about that.
The Kingman "C" rules with a commanding acoustic voice and playfully marries all the things guitarists love about the Stratocaster into it: vintage C-shaped maple neck with rolled edges, dual-action truss rod and Stratocaster headstock — just like its electric counterpart.
It comes in a head-turning Fiesta Red gloss finish on its Engelmann spruce top with mahogany back and sides and sounds every bit as good when plugged into the built-in Fishman Matrix Infinity electronics.
It's a fun guitar that sounds amazing unplugged.

TRU Los Feliz had a bunch of new packaged old CW figures as well as some new Saga Legends - Jango is a mess. They also had 1 new CW Grievous which I bought, this figure is a gummy bear, I have a thread about that in the CW forum. They also had all 4 new vehicles plus duplicates of the Cloud Car and blue tank, I bought the Snowspeeder and Cloud Car, both quite boss and both just a little smaller than the vintage originals (the Cloud Car seems much smaller, but it's really just narrower). The Snowspeeder is very nice, but has 12 stickers for the interior, the nerve!!!
For TF, they had the new Hunt for the Decepticons figures, I bought 1 Dlx Ironhide. They also had just 3 Power Core Combiners 2packs (2 Huffer, 1 Searchlight). Since it was Bogo50%, I decided to risk it and buy another PCC pack, Searchlight. Both these figures suck, plain and simple.
In a few days, I'll have another Grievous, Snowspeeder, and Cloud Car. If anybody wants any/all of these, LMK and we'll work something out. TRU's return policy regarding this BOGO might make things difficult if I break up the set, so I'm not sure what to do yet, but I'd rather one of you guys get that Snowspeeder than a scalper, they're 1 per case and not in either upcoming revision.

West Coast Workout Swing Part Four: BDA Sports
by: Jim Hlavac, Matt Kamalsky - Director of Operations, Richard Walker
June 6, 2011
One of our stops along our 2011 west coast workout swing brought us to the University of Southern California to check in with four BDA clients preparing for the draft including
Klay Thompson
Nikola Vucevic
Unlike our stay in Las Vegas, we were only able to catch one workout at the Galen Center in Los Angeles, but it was an informative one, as we were able to see potential lottery pick
Klay Thompson
at work along with combine standout
Nikola Vucevic
, European big man
Miro Bilan
, and Thompson's brother and Pepperdine product, Mychel Thompson.
The part of the workout we saw included extensive skill development work and ended with competitive two-on-two play. The four BDA Sports clients worked for roughly two hours under the instruction of trainer Ross McMains, who gave us some background on how he developed the unique series of drills he had each prospect performing.
Before preparing his workouts, McMains studies the strengths and weaknesses of every player he trains in great detail, watching a season's worth of film to identify what specific movements and dribble moves worked for each prospect and which did not. Indexing his observations to generate move-specific data, McMains couples what he finds with video to show each prospect things they can work on. He implements drills to help them improve on their weaknesses and develop new moves that he knows prove effective on the NBA level. McMains's approach to player development made the session we were able to see intriguing to say the least.
Klay Thompson
Interview and Workout Video
One of the top shooters in the 2011 draft class,
Klay Thompson
had a terrific three year career at Washington State. Emerging as an elite spot-up threat as a freshman, the California native was the top wing scorer on the west coast as a junior. Averaging 21.6 points per-game this season, Thompson earned All-Pac-10 First Team honors while solidifying himself as a first round prospect despite his team's inability to reach the NCAA Tournament.
Here at the Galen Center, Thompson has been working to adjust to the NBA three-point line, shore up his footwork, and diversify the range of moves he can use to score off the dribble. After warming up with some dynamic exercises and basic drills, Thompson got down to business in catch and shoot drills. Making roughly half of his open jumpers last season according to Synergy Sports Technology, Thompson's shot is a thing of beauty, and that becomes even more clear in a setting like this where you can see just how intense he is about his consistency and how his mechanics virtually never waver. Though he didn't knock down shots at a typical rate at the combine, scouts are fully aware of Thompson's ability to stretch the floor, and from what we saw, he looked comfortable out to NBA range.
After finishing the simple catch and shoot drills, Thompson worked on shooting coming off of all types of simulated screens, pulling up off the dribble, and a series of moves aimed at getting to the rim. His footwork looked incredibly smooth, and while he wasn't known for his quickness on the college level, he's looking to develop some ways to use the tools to he has to score inside the arc.
In competitive play, Thompson was guarded well by his brother Mychel for stretches, but had some nice moments too. Playing against his brother is a major challenge for Klay, since Mychel knows his tendencies inside and out and does not take it easy on his little brother. Obviously, a two-on-two game isn't reflective of what Thompson will be asked to do at the next level, but it was interesting to see him use some of the moves we was working on in drills in a competitive setting.
Amongst all the players we witnessed on our west coast workout swing, Thompson was amongst the most impressive. He's working on a diverse range of skills, and it will be interesting to see how those things translate to whatever system he lands in next season. His shooting will provide immediate value to the team that drafts him, and with time, he could become a very dangerous all-around scoring threat at the next level.
Nikola Vucevic
Interview and Workout Video
One of the most improved players on the west coast this season,
Nikola Vucevic
has seen his stock rise considerably over his three year career at USC. Arriving on campus as a skinny, lanky freshman, Vucevic is now amongst the more imposing big men in the 2011 draft. The tallest player at the 2011 NBA combine standing 6'11.75 with shoes on, the first thing we noticed about Vucevic is just how big he is. Tipping the scales at 260, Vucevic looks like a NBA center, and his improvement as a scorer in the post and as a rebounder only add to his intriguing blend of physical stature and skill level.
Vucevic is spending a lot of time here working on his jump shot, which looked terrific in the session we watched. At one point, Vucevic knocked down 11 straight college-three pointers, showing terrific mechanics in the process. Considering he made a solid 39% of his catch and shoot jumpers last season according to Synergy Sports Technology, Vucevic is already a solid shooter, but is still looking to improve his consistency even more. He clearly understands what consistent range out to 20+ feet can do for him on the NBA level as he begins to find himself in pick and roll and pick and pop situations more frequently.
After working on his jumper, Vucevic spent some time working on his post moves. Nearly 42% of his offensive possessions came with his back to the basket last season, a number that will likely diminish at the next level as he fills a smaller role. Nonetheless, the USC product is working hard on his post-game, and has a number of quality moves over both shoulders. Showing promising footwork, Vucevic is one of the more versatile and polished offensive big men in this draft.
Vucevic was solid in the two-on-two games, but like Thompson, provides more value in a five-on-five setting. One of the few bigs in this draft that can play on the inside and outside alike, Vucevic gained some ground at the combine. He won't be overpowering many players at the NBA level, but his size-skill combo is intriguing to say the least and has put him in position to hear his name called in the first round on draft night.
Mychel Thompson
Klay Thompson
's older brother Mychel was a pleasant surprise in the workout we watched. He had a solid career at Pepperdine, and is every bit as tall as his brother, only stronger and a bit less quick. A solid athlete, Mychel isn't quite as smooth from the perimeter as Klay, but has a nice jump shot, shows some explosiveness off the bounce, and competed extremely hard in the two-on-two game we watched. He's scheduled some NBA workouts, and while he is a bit of an unknown commodity to some, his skill level from the small forward position will put him in position to enjoy a very nice career overseas.
Miro Bilan
A 6'11 center hailing from Croatia, Bilan had a very nice season in the Adriatic League in 2011. In the workout we watched, he showed the ability to finish with both hands and solid footwork. He's not a great athlete, but has dramatically improved his ability to hit shots from the perimeter since arriving in Los Angeles. He was a very limited jump shooter early in his career, but appears to have found his stroke. That doesn't guarantee him a NBA future, but is a very notable development for the young big man should he return to the Adriatic League.

On #4, when the welfare section 8 leaches moved in across from our condo one day I heard vistors there. The Mom lashed out used that word with her kids and said something like "Stop acting like N**** or you will be treated like N*****. As far as I'm concerned if the black comunity can use the word so can I after that day. I just spent 3 months rehabbing my trashed rental and boy did I here stuff that would have me the white person in deep trouble. Section 8 somehow moved in diagonally across the street and man were the other neighbors pissed and telling their kids loudly not to start acting like "the gehto trash".

Very much like what Bill Cosby said quite a while ago. Of course, he's probably considered too old and too uncool for younger people ... so if some younger black people, like this commentator, would continue to make statements like this it might help.
It's just as true of any group at all that wants to get respect within their larger society ... dress and behave in a way that engenders respect. I believe it's also been studied that dressing in a way that others consider worthy of respect, also creates more self-esteem for the individual who dresses that way.

But prejudice isn't just a white thing, OR a Black Thing...here in this part of Sodak it's very prevelant. I managed 7 years of LL and Pony Baseball teams, with as many as 4 indians, or as we referred to them, Native Americans...at a time on my team. But when one of them didn't comply with the rules the rest of the team members played by, like if you aren't on time to the practices you can't start, and if you don't come to practices you can't play the next game. BUT that didn't stop the parents of our regular center fielder of calling me an "racist" because I sat their kid out when he was seen twice that previous week riding his bike in another part of the city, while the rest of the players were practicing. These AIM dignitaries were quick to also call the N/A Mayor of the city, as well as the other 3 N/A players on the team by that equally derogatory name as "Oreo'. These basicly fine Americans were referred to as 'Apples'. How is it that I'M the racist and the bad dude in this equation?
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
Here's another "Black" that has some suggestions for the plight of Blacks, and where most of the faults are located.
Black Self-Sabotage
By: Walter Williams
If we put ourselves into the shoes of racists who seek to sabotage black upward mobility, we couldn't develop a more effective agenda than that followed by civil rights organizations, black politicians, academics, liberals and the news media. Let's look at it.
First, weaken the black family, but don't blame it on individual choices. You have to preach that today's weak black family is a legacy of slavery, Jim Crow and racism. The truth is that black female-headed households were just 18 percent of households in 1950, as opposed to about 68 percent today. In fact, from 1890 to 1940, the black marriage rate was slightly higher than that of whites. Even during slavery, when marriage was forbidden for blacks, most black children lived in biological two-parent families. In New York City, in 1925, 85 percent of black households were two-parent households. A study of 1880 family structure in Philadelphia shows that three-quarters of black families were two-parent households.
During the 1960s, devastating nonsense emerged, exemplified by a Johns Hopkins University sociology professor who argued, "It has yet to be shown that the absence of a father was directly responsible for any of the supposed deficiencies of broken homes." The real issue, he went on to say, "is not the lack of male presence but the lack of male income." That suggests marriage and fatherhood can be replaced by a welfare check.
The poverty rate among blacks is 36 percent. Most black poverty is found in female-headed households. The poverty rate among black married couples has been in single digits since 1994 and is about 8 percent today. The black illegitimacy rate is 75 percent, and in some cities, it's 90 percent. But if that's a legacy of slavery, it must have skipped several generations, because in the 1940s, unwed births hovered around 14 percent.
Along with the decline of the black family comes anti-social behavior, manifested by high crime rates. Each year, roughly 7,000 blacks are murdered. Ninety-four percent of the time, the murderer is another black person. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, between 1976 and 2011, there were 279,384 black murder victims. Using the 94 percent figure means that 262,621 were murdered by other blacks. Though blacks are 13 percent of the nation's population, they account for more than 50 percent of homicide victims. Nationally, the black homicide victimization rate is six times that of whites, and in some cities, it's 22 times that of whites. I'd like for the president, the civil rights establishment, white liberals and the news media, who spent massive resources protesting the George Zimmerman trial's verdict, to tell the nation whether they believe that the major murder problem blacks face is murder by whites. There are no such protests against the thousands of black murders.
There's an organization called NeighborhoodScout. Using 2011 population data from the U.S. Census Bureau, 2011 crime statistics from the FBI and information from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies in the country, it came up with a report titled "Top 25 Most Dangerous Neighborhoods in America."
They include neighborhoods in Detroit, Chicago, Houston, St. Louis and other major cities. What's common to all 25 neighborhoods is that their makeup is described as "Black" or "Mostly Black." The high crime rates have several outcomes that are not in the best interests of the overwhelmingly law-abiding people in these neighborhoods. There can't be much economic development. Property has a lower value, but worst of all, people can't live with the kind of personal security that most Americans enjoy.
Disgustingly, black politicians, civil rights leaders, liberals and the president are talking nonsense about "having a conversation about race." That's beyond useless. Tell me how a conversation with white people is going to stop black predators from preying on blacks. How is such a conversation going to eliminate the 75 percent illegitimacy rate? What will such a conversation do about the breakdown of the black family (though "breakdown" is not the correct word, as the family doesn't form in the first place)? Only black people can solve our problems.
Walter E. Williams is a professor of economics at George Mason University.

There are several reasons why America hosts most of the recent mass slaughterings. While such incidents can happen anywhere, they are most prevalent in free, or democratic countries. In autocratic or repressive regimes, mass killings by explosives are for political reasons - Chechen terrorism in the Moscow theatre bombing or the Beslan school massacre. But not random, mindless slaughter. There is no logical way to prevent such massacres in a democracy.

Sorry to see Home Depot dropped the Filtrete line and picked these up instead. The Honeywell filters are much more expensive and much more cheaply made - the frames are very flimsy and there is no sticker to remind you when to replace the filter. Not sure about the length of service yet, but they are much lighter and don't seem nearly as substantial.Cons Not Durable

Trigger Man
It's been a busy weekend and I thought I'd finish it with a post here.
Currently in development is a fast paced, action fps very much in the style of Wolfenstein 3D and the classic Doom. We've been developing a whole new engine from scratch and the tools to go with constructing levels and setting up weapons and enemies. The game's target platforms are XBOX indie and the many PC online distribution networks (which still need investigating) and it's been in development for about 7 months and we're on target for a good prototype by May. It's all sprite based as you can imagine, so it's time for screenshots!
Work complete to date:
6 enemies (42 sprites per character)
4 weapons
(New HUD graphic)
(1-bit alpha walls allow for a lot of extra detail in the levels)
(Every retro fps needs an elevator room)
(Cargo room)
(Editor tool - screenshot of the tool here is abit out of date and has changed abit)
(Sample enemy)
It's hard work but we're slowely getting there, and it's only getting better. Well thanks for looking at this post, everyone's time is important and it means alot.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY LOVE | it's in the details… | Pink + White + Arcade Prize Ticket Delight!
When I saw these photos from Tina and Stephen's Carmel, California wedding, shot by the talented Aaron Delesie, I got really, really excited. Which immediately translated into having to share all the yummy goodness with you. Of course, I'm not surprised by the ridiculously phenomenal quality of these images… you see, Aaron's no amateur.
Ok, enough with the words – get ready, because these details are AMAZING… for starters, just LOOK AT THAT DRESS!!!
"If I had a hundred wishes I would give them all to you."
Exquisite, right? I am so in awe of these images! I'm a big fan of tiny but meaningful touches in a wedding, and that wheel of "Wish" tickets totally hit the spot for me today.
Reminds me of a nice little moment that happened last weekend at the arcade with the boy (yes, laugh it out, we went to the arcade. It may be for youngsters, but I think we could all benefit from a little air hockey in our lives). So, near the end of the evening, we ended up playing a trivia game against another couple and totally clobbering them, which was kind of extremely awesome. We are competitive apart, so when we join forces… you understand. Anyway, when all was said and done, we realized we had about a gazillion prize tickets at our feet. When I was a kid, I was ALL ABOUT the prize tickets… so I was surprised by how little I cared on this day. I just can't believe that plastic parachuting militiamen and kazoos were a good enough reward for the blood, sweat and tears I poured into accumulating those tickets. Even if I was only seven, those prizes are seriously LACKING.
Back to the present day story; we added them up, and together we had approximately a lot of tickets. We walked over to the counter and scanned our options ~ yup, paratroopers and kazoos still available. Nice. We weren't finding anything.
Next thing I know, fiancé motions to follow him and, leaving our position in line, he spots a young man with an infant in his arms. And what does he do? He hands our tickets over to them. I was so, incredibly angry at him I cou— just kidding.
