Reading that title, I imagine you are probably scratching your head wondering, 'what is he talking about?'
Well to answer your question, what I am talking about are movies that are not exactly, 'Alien Invasion' movies... because Alien invasion movies usually denotes a large force coming to Earth to do some serious damage... So in the case of Alien Attack films I am talking more about those films where a group of humans, end up fighting to save their own lives against a singular superior Alien or more then one enemy...
And so I thought that you guys might enjoy this list of: Five Classic, 'Alien Attack' Movies That Went On To Be Remade Before Remakes Were, 'Trendy.'
At number 5:
Predator (1987).
And the remake:
Predators (2010)
Please enjoy these trailers for Predator (1987) and Predators (2010)!
With number 4:
The Blob (1958):
And the remake:
The Blob (1988)
For more information on these two classic movies, please enjoy these trailers for, The Blob (1958), and The Blob (1988)!
At number 3:
Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1956)
Now This one is a little bit different... Basically over all these 3 movies all tell the story of a smallish area, 'A small town' in one movie, 'A more confined community' in the sequel, 'and an Army base in the last one,' in these movies pods come down and sort of take over the image of humans, while disposing of the humans they have come to look like...
So in the end, I am counting this one, because it may not be necessarily just an, 'Alien Attack Movie', but they are certainly not quite, 'Alien Invasion films' either!
For more information on these movies, please enjoy these trailers for: Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1956), Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1978) & Body Snatchers (1993).
Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1956):
Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1978):
Body Snatchers (1993):
And last but certainly not least, at number 1:
The Thing From Another World (1951)
This one I felt had some merit in giving special attention... Now the reason for this is that, The Thing From Another World (1951) would be remade by John Carpenter (Halloween) in 1982, and would just be called, 'The Thing', and there would later be a prequel to Carpenter's movie just called, 'The Thing' which would be made in 2011!
For more information, please enjoy the trailers for, The Thing From Another World (1951), The Thing (1982) & The Thing (2011)!

Princess Royal Spinal Injuries Centre
The Princess Royal Spinal Injuries Centre operates a policy of comprehensive care for people who suffer spinal cord paralysis. It provides acute care; rehabilitation, resettlement and lifetime follow up. The Centre dates back to 1948 when it was based at the Wharncliffe Hospital under the guidance of Dr Alan Hardy. Over the years the centre has evolved, moving to Lodge Moor in 1954 and then on to its current location in the Osborn Building of the Northern General Hospital in 1994. A constant throughout the life of the centre has been the importance placed upon sport as part of patients' rehabilitation – there has always been a very active patient's sports club which has developed in parallel with the centre.
The centre has 62 beds in 3 wards (acute, rehabilitation and reassessment/ surgical) together with a dedicated outpatient department, day surgery unit, x-ray department, physiotherapy and occupational therapy departments, swimming pool and sports hall. There is a dedicated operating theatre where urological, orthopaedic and plastic surgical procedures on paralysed patients are routinely carried out. Access to a pre-discharge flat within the building allows patients and their carers to practice independent living skills before discharge.
The Consultant Medical staff for the Spinal Injuries Centre currently comprises Mr M R McClelland (Clinical Director), Mr Pradeep Thumbikat and Dr K Mathew (Consultants in Spinal Injuries), Mr P R Tophill and Ms S Reid (Consultant Urologists) and Dr Jane Royle (Consultant Clinical Psychologist). In addition there is a specialty doctor and regular Spinal Orthopaedic input.
There are links with Sheffield University to provide a firm research base at the Centre. Research is carried out in bladder management, prevention of pressure sore and control of spasticity.
The Spinal Injuries Centre can be contacted through the main hospital switchboard on 0114 2434343

Lessons Learned A slow roll-out after beta testing

Maintaining a lean workforce
Avoiding expensive sales/marketing techniques
Using Amazon's S3 service to avoid expensive infrastructure By:

Case Presentation Concerns Testing demand with prototype "It Just Works" Dropbox, founded in April 2007 by Drew Houston and Arash Ferdowsi, officially launched in September 2008.
Dropbox is a downloadable application that allows users to easily share, sync, and store files (photos, documents, videos etc.) across most personal computers and smart phones. Committed to offering a simple, easy to use product
Houston graduated from MIT and Ferdowsi dropped
out of Harvard to co-found company
Idea created due to Houston forgetting his USB drive
and thought it'd be nice to be able to access his work from
any computer
They were confident that while entering a competitive market they could succeed. They had a performance advantage of storing files locally and updating a cloud copy in the background using time and bandwidth saving optimizations. A video was made and sent to Houston's Fraternity and Hacker News. Targeting Paul Graham, founder of Hacker News and Y Combinator. Securing Capital Y Combinator invests $15,000 in April 2007, and September 2007 Sequoia Capital raises $1.2 million. By 2010 they raise a total of $257.2 million. Beta Testing After developing a Mac client, in March 2008 Houston posts video on Digg to generate interest, and beta testers jumps from 5,000 to 75,000 virtually overnite. Hiring Dropbox hires 6 MIT computer science majors, but not much luck with product or business manager hires. Concerns Continued Marketing Expensive marketing efforts, such as AdWords, and cost per click, it costs $300 to acquire a paying customer Improving Analytics An Analytics Engineer was hired to improve analytics and optimize customer acquisition efforts. Partnerships Partnering with a PC security software is discussed and an SVP disappoints Houston when he wants to bury the brand. They decide they need a VP of business development soon. Decisions Choosing a Business Model Dropbox worked to make sure they were simple, safe, fast and accessible.
They chose a Freemium strategy by offering a small amount of storage for free in the hopes of turning those users into paying customers. Dropbox is focusing on organic customer acquisition, word of mouth and viral marketing as opposed to paid advertising. Using a "Trojan horse" strategy to acquire business users. Where individual users bypass IT departments using Dropbox at work in the hopes of getting them onboard. Dropbox also has a sign-up driven home page, free storage for referrals and free storage for connecting with social media. Profitability Dropbox in April 2010 had 4 million users with 2.8 million direct referral invites, which implies a $10-15 million revenue run by mid 2010. We feel they will be profitable in June 2010. They are on track to have a $240 million revenue with only 70 staffers in 2011. Houston was able to raise a total of $257.2 million in capital from investors. The number of users is increasing at an astounding rate, as this occurs and the number of network files grows larger their costs shrink and margins grow wider. Houston had to make a few assumptions when he applied to Y combinator:
* Product was simple, easy to access, users would be technologically adept, pay for storage Hypotheses
These hypotheses were confirmed, it's easy to use, attracts many users, and people realize that storage comes at a premium but it is a necessity G-Drive
Google's G-Drive, if released at the same time as Dropbox probably would have stolen their thunder.
G-Drive would have probably offered more storage for less and probably would have been installed on all Android devices. Business Version?
We feel Dropbox should offer a small-medium business version.
They should survey their current users and request feedback to see if this service would be useful to their companies. Questions?

Lean start-up strategies aren't just for start-ups anymore. That was the key message that Intuit cofounder Scott Cook (HBS MBA '76) shared in a small seminar with Harvard Business School faculty recently. Since its launch in 1983, the financial software company has seen a great deal of success, garnering revenues of $4.15 billion in 2012 with products like Quicken, TurboTax, and QuickBooks. But there lies the potential rub. "Success is a powerful thing," said Cook, who now serves as chairman of Intuit's Executive Committee. "It tends to make companies stupid, and they become less and less innovative."
"Success is a powerful thing… It tends to make companies stupid" Scott Cook, IntuitAvoiding innovation stagnation is the reason that Cook believes established companies need a lean start-up model—maybe even more than start-ups do. An idea pioneered by HBS Entrepreneur-in-Residence Eric Ries, lean start-up thinking entails launching as quickly as possible with a "minimum viable product," a bare-bones creation that includes just enough features to allow for useful feedback from early adopters. The company then releases a quick succession of product upgrades, forming hypotheses and conducting experiments with each new version along the way. Intuit adopted such a strategy when developing Fasal, a mobile platform that delivers agricultural market price information to farmers in India. With each successive rapid upgrade deployment, the adoption rate grew. That meant that as more features were added or tweaked, there were more farmers to provide useful feedback from the field. "The more farmers you have, the better data you have," Cook said. Experimentation can be hard for product teams in large companies, which often don't have the let's-try-some-things-and-see-what-sticks culture of a start-up. Product teams may be disheartened when their preconceived notions turn from promising hypotheses into failed experiments. Cook stressed, though, that failure can yield the greatest lessons in product development. "For me it was seeing my brilliant ideas—which I just knew were right—not work." To that end, Cook said leaders should take care not to squelch a team member's new idea too soon, even if it sounds unreasonable. He recalled scoffing at a proposal, only to learn that the team putting it forward already had started testing the idea with an experiment. Cook felt bad about his initial response not because the idea ended up succeeding—it didn't—but because he believes strongly in cultivating and maintaining a culture of experimentation. Of the experiments Intuit has launched in India, some ten have failed, two have succeeded, one is still in its nascent stages, and one is "pivoting," Cook said. In lean-start-up lingo, pivoting means taking a major change of course based on user feedback—the idea being that it's easier to change the direction of a company or product in its early stages than in its later stages.

Kim Kardashian shared a sweet photo on social media of her husband and precious daughter lying fast asleep in their matching grey outfits. It seems that Father's Day tuckered out poor old Kanye West.
North West, the daughter of 33-year-old reality star, turned 1 yesterday, June 15. And im Kardashian couldn't resist sharing the photo where Kanye West with his only child close to him fall asleep while watching a sports game.
The infant looked snug as a bug as she slumbered peacefully, clad in a grey long-sleeved top and matching leggings.
It's clear the star was overflowing with love as she provided an elaborate caption with the heartwarming snapshot.
"This is what life is about! Our baby girl turned 1 today! We played so hard they passed out while we were watching the game!"
She continued: "Happy Father's Day to the best daddy in the world! The way you love our daughter and protect her makes me filled with so much love! #BestDayEver #Twins #HappyFathersDay #HappyBirthday."

Today's Women 2.0 Conference on February 14, 2013 is being livestreamed here today and video will be available post-event. By Angie Chang (Co-Founder & Editor-in-Chief, Women 2.0)
"Last year, 28 billion dollars was invested in ventures.. but yes, we've seen an uptake in seed funding," said Andreessen Horowitz's Scott Kupor. Moderator Sukhinder Singh Cassidy the investors - "when you say traction [for Series A funding], can you be more specific?" She continues, "You have media-driven models which are largely engagement, than find your monetization. Then you have subscription models and e-commerce."
Scott returns with a string of questions for the entrepreneur, "What is the engagement and abandonment of these customers? What is the cohort analysis? What is the engagement over time?" Basically, prove that a small cohort is engaging with your startup, so the VC feels better to invest.
Intel Capital director Christine Herron talks about the question of convertible notes for entrepreneurs: "Regarding convertible notes - as entrepreneurs you spend more time fundraising over time, instead of doing it all in one big effort. You have some issues around your incentives and your focus."
FLOODGATE partner Ann Miura-Ko stated: "As you need to be heard above the noise, having someone be on the hook for actually your success in raising your next round of financing can be very critical. As FLOODGATE, we like to say we are the lead investor in the round. We don't say we are the co-lead or a passive investor - we really like to say we are on the hook. That means if times are really tough, we're here to help. If you are having a tough time raising capital, we will vouch for you. As Scott was pointing out, it's like college applications today. All these kids are really qualified with hundreds of house of community service. I'm a mom to 6, 3, 4 and 1 year old. You just have to be more awesome. Have investors at the seed stage level there to level-set your expectations that the dollars you have today will last until that point you have reached your milestones and Andreesseen Horowitz will invest in you."
Kapor Capital partner Freada Kapor Klein said, "Be really thoughtful about who your investors are at each stage along the way - what are you looking for, what are their values, who is going to help you build the company you're going to be proud of and who has done what to help you along that path. We are increasingly focused on social impact. We want the team of investors andt he founding tema to reflect the company base. If you are an ed-tech company and you want to create the world's best STEM app for low-income kids, and you are a bunch of white guys who went to private schools your whole life, you're like 'really?'"
Panel moderator Sukhinder Singh Cassidy asks the panel "Should every entrepreneur really raise a Series A?" She asks the VCs to image "what if you have some signals of success, some signals of failure... you're at the fork in the road."
Venture capitalist Christine Herron remarks "buried in that question you're asking, do you actually have cash in the business or not? There is a question that a lot of people don't realize - if you raise convertible notes, you don't have to convert them - you can pay them back. Once your raise equity, you must sell your company some day and you have to sign up for that so we get our money back. You have to figure that out, if you are ready to start that large scale with an exit, then yeah go for that brass ring. But if you just want to run that business and not shoot for an exit, then think about not raising that equity capital.. maybe raise more money with angels that don't mind."
FLOODGATE's Ann Miura-Ko explains, "their economics are such that, if exit at $100 million dollars, they're OK with it but they're not really excited. They get really excited if you hit $500 million dollars more. If you are at the stage where you are unsure, going to that stage is dangerous."
Investor Freada Kapor Klein said, "If you don't look like anybody that firm has ever given Series A money to, you should think twice, three times and a hundred times if they are committed to letting you stay at the front of that business."
Moderator Sukhinder Singh Cassidy said, "I think the other key factor here is, are you enjoying it? Make sure you love it because it's a five or ten year journey. Have a level of introspection - do you love the journey, really? Angel investors do sign up for a certain level of risk. You need to call whether your company will be one of those top 15 companies and do you have the drive to take it all the way. Sit and reflect - 'is it for me?' I think that is just the other introspection point. Seed to A is perhaps the one time where - if there is ever a time to hit the pause button - once you take the A, it's all on you."

Okay, so maybe it's not cold outside…yet. Winter weddings can pose a set of unique dilemmas that prevent many brides from selecting a wedding date in the chilly months. Navigating the holiday and the potentially crummy weather makes setting a winter date more difficult. The brave brides who do choose a winter date are often rewarded with gorgeous photos, discounted prices and fabulous décor options.
Spring, summer and fall brides tend to be the real gamblers. It seems like everyone wants a perfect day, and outdoor ceremony and ideal landscape. Our winter brides don't worry about any of this, because they know everything will happen inside and so a swing in temperature or a smattering of precipitation doesn't throw their plans off. A winter bride already has her indoor ceremony planned to perfection. A beautiful winter evening makes the perfect backdrop for a candle lit ceremony in front of a roaring fire.
It's a colossal misconception that the winter bride has limited color choices. Yes, the predictable choices would be winter whites and in some cases a more holiday inspired palette with red and green. We are seeing the winter weddings take a whole new spin in the color department. Silver, slate blue and brown seem to be leading the pack this season. Lending to the natural wood elements of a barn, the silver and slate blue contract nicely with a warm wood tone and give a contemporary but earthy balance. Grey and Blush are also a hit this season. The soft, feminine pink palette set off with a masculine and neutral grey make a snowy backdrop stunning. Our edgier brides have set it off with a ruby red and aqua scheme. Depending on the boldness of the shades, the wedding can be high octane or mildly vintage.
Who doesn't love some comfort food? Winter is the best time of year to indulge in those favorite yummy goodies like White hot chocolate, mulled cider, mini pot pies, mini grilled cheese bites with a tomato soup shooter and on and on the list can go. Greeting your guests with something that gives them the warm and fuzzies is sure to set the tone for a memorable evening.
No matter what style wedding you are after, Total Events has the equipment and know how to get you there. Planning a wedding anywhere in the Upstate New York area means you can count on Total Events to provide you with quality service, rentals and experience. From Poughkeepsie, Kingston, Hudson, Oneonta, Albany, Saratoga Springs, Lake George, Lake Placid and in between, we travel to meet your needs!

The Skinny: The most anticipated regular-season matchup is finally upon us. A swelling crowd is expected to turn out for this one, as the Bay State Conference's Herget division title is on the line. Natick is looking to bounce back after coming up on the wrong side of one of the year's biggest upsets (a 40-34 loss to Wellesley), but Troy Flutie, Brian Dunlap and co. will have to do it against one of the state's stingiest defenses. Walpole hasn't allowed a point since Sept. 28, and hasn't allowed a touchdown since Week 3.
Scott Barboza: I'm shudder to think that we might not have any questions to answer during our Sunday night chat this week now that we're finally about to give our picks on this game. Walpole, 27-21.
Brendan Hall: I'm sure the primary topic of discussion in this Sunday night's Top 25 chat will be "What's your prediction for Natick-Walpole in 2013?" Walpole, 20-17.
The Skinny: Raise your hand if you thought this would be the de facto Atlantic Coast League championship back in August. South's Dylan Oxsen leads the state in rushing touchdowns (28), doing so behind a uniquely modified pistol attack that gets the hard-charging junior downhill in a hurry. Written off a month ago, the Panthers are suddenly in prime position for their first postseason berth here, but they'll have to find a way to neutralize all the chicanery that comes with Nauset's single wing attack, led by running back Jimmy Sullivan.
Barboza: It's time we start considering Oxsen as a serious candidate for our Offensive Player of the Year Award. Plymouth South, 13-7.
Hall: If you know me, you know I'm a fiend for the ground-and-pound. For that reason, can't go wrong with either team, but I'm sticking with my preseason pick. Nauset, 28-21.
The Skinny: Abington can clinch the South Shore League title with a win over the Vikings, and are the favorites here behind a dynamic offense led by Babila Fonkem, Pat Dwyer and Brandon Cawley. Defensively, the Green Wave are allowing just under seven points a game the last three weeks, but they figure to have their hands full trying to slow down quarterback Andrew Benson in the option game.
Barboza: I'm going to mention Brandon Cawley's name again just because the other night on Twitter he's said I only mention the running backs. JK guys, JK. Abington, 32-24.
Hall: If this is truly Abington coach Jim Kelliher's last season, then you can't find a more fitting farewell. Abington, 31-20.
The Skinny: Is the clock about to strike midnight on Sharon? The Eagles remain unbeaten in the Hockomock's Davenport division, but still have two big league games on the slate. The first one is Friday night, where they will attempt to contain tailback Kiivone Howard, who leads the Hockomock in rushing yardage (1,405).
Barboza: Foxborough quarterback Mike Slaby could be the difference-maker. Foxborough, 23-17.
Hall: What would a Hockomock League berth be without a little bit of mathematics? Foxborough, 21-7.
The Skinny: The Magicians claimed the CAL/NEC Tier 2 title last season with a senior-laden team. However, Marblehead's in the mix again, even after a surprise loss to Salem a few weeks back. Meanwhile, the Panthers can clinch the league crown with a win on Saturday. The vaunted Panthers offense (averaging 38 points per game) and its rushing attack is closing in on 3,000 combined rushing yards on the season, led by a backfield of Brendan Flaherty and Kenny Pierce. The Magicians have relied on 1,000-yard passer Ian Maag (13 touchdowns) for a bulk of their offense.
Barboza: It's been a nice bounce back run for Marblehead in an attempt at a repeat title, but, after all, this is the #yearofthepanther. Beverly, 28-14.
Hall: We love Jim Rudloff's mind games as much as the next guy, but the Magicians are simply overmatched here against one of the state's best rushing attacks. Beverly, 35-21.
The Skinny: As in each of the last three seasons, the Eastern Athletic Conference title will be determined in a matchup between the Shamrocks and Blue Raiders. Feehan came away with a decisive victory last year, but Somerset-Berkley is looking to lay claim to its second crown in the last three years. The Blue Raiders are led by a dynamic back field of Garrett Carlos and Mike Garrant, but they'll encounter a physical Feehan front seven anchored by linemen Chris Barthe, Seamus Cuddy and Mitch Matrin.
Barboza: Nick Freitas escapes with EAC title No. 2. Somerset-Berkley, 27-20.
Hall: In terms of EAC supremacy, Feehan had the 2000's. And now, Somerset has the 2010's. Somerset-Berkley, 24-17.
The Skinny: The Panthers get back into Hockomock Kelley-Rex play after a startling loss to Taunton two weeks ago. If Franklin is to hold out hope of hanging around in the division race, they'll need a win at Mansfield on Saturday. The Hornets are in a similar situation having dropped a close decision to North Attleborough two weeks ago. Look for the Hornets, led by Robbie Rapoza, to pound the ball on the ground and play some ball control in trying to keep the Panthers' spread attack on the sideline. Franklin junior quarterback Nick Zucco has been a revelation this year, but the Panthers can also run the ball behind Kyle Finamore. The Mansfield defense has been bolstered by junior linebacker Alex Ruddy, who currently leads the team in tackles.
Barboza: As predicted a couple weeks back, the Kelley-Rex picture is only obfuscated more. Expect another wild finish. And, of course, another prediction my friends in Mansfield will relish. Franklin, 38-36.
Hall: If the Hornets can establish the run game early, they can do just enough to hold off a furious Franklin rally. Mansfield, 27-24.
The Skinny: Another pair of Kelley-Rex teams with one division loss meet in this rivalry game. The Red Rocketeers have cobbled together a three-game winning streak, following a three-game losing streak in the middle of the season. The better news yet for North in recent weeks its improving health, seeing several key contributors return to the field in recent weeks. Meanwhile, King Philip has rolled through Attleboro and Oliver Ames by a combined 75-21 margin since its loss to Mansfield.
Barboza: I find myself simply rooting for another chaotic finish to the Kelley-Rex division race, but I'm sticking with my preseason pick. KP, 24-21.
Hall: This is a new team with Sean Peters and Alex Jette both healthy. I'm looking at a return to early September form down the stretch for the Big Red. North, 30-23.

|This study aimed at investigating the use of psychosocial interventions and psychotropic co-medication among stimulant-treated children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in relation to the presence of psychiatric co-morbidity. Stimulant users younger than 16 years were identified in 115 pharmacies and a questionnaire was sent to their stimulant prescribing physician. Of 773 questionnaires sent out, 556 were returned and were suitable for analysis (72%). The results are based on 510 questionnaires concerning stimulant-treated children for whom a diagnosis of ADHD was reported. Of the 510 children diagnosed with ADHD, 31% had also received one or more other psychiatric diagnoses, mainly pervasive developmental disorder or oppositional defiant disorder/conduct disorder. We found an association between the presence of co-morbidity and the use of psychosocial interventions for the child (P < 0.001) and the parents (P < 0.001). In the ADHD-only group, 26% did not receive any form of additional interventions, while psychosocial interventions varied from 8 to 18% in children with ADHD and psychiatric co-morbidity. The presence of diagnostic co-morbidity was also associated with the use of psychotropic co-medication (overall, P = 0.012) and antipsychotics (P < 0.001). Stimulant-treated youths with ADHD and psychiatric co-morbidity received more psychosocial interventions and psychotropic co-medication than children with ADHD-only. The type of psychosocial interventions and psychotropic co-medication received by the children and their parents, depended on the specific co-morbid psychiatric disorder being present.

Large amounts of oil have been found on the Golan Heights. Estimates are that the amount of oil discovered will make Israel self sufficient for very many years to come.
Three drilling sites on the Golan have uncovered what is potentially billions of barrels of oil, enough to fulfill the Israeli market's 270,000-barrel-per-day consumption for a very long time.
Israel was not going to give the Golan Heights back anyway but now that will clearly never happen. Internationally recognized as Syrian territory, the Golan Heights has been occupied and administered by Israel since 1967. It was captured during the 1967 Six-Day War, establishing the Purple Line. On 19 June 1967, the Israeli cabinet voted to return the Golan to Syria in exchange for a peace agreement, although this was rejected after the Khartoum Resolution of September 1, 1967. In the aftermath of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Israel agreed to return about 5% of the territory to Syrian civilian control. This part was incorporated into a demilitarised zone that runs along the ceasefire line and extends eastward. This strip is under the military control of UNDOF.
Israeli Prime Ministers Yitzhak Rabin, Ehud Barak, and Ehud Olmert each stated that they were willing to exchange the Golan for peace with Syria. However, in 2010, Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman told Syria to abandon its dreams of recovering the Golan Heights. Approximately 10% of Syrian Golan Druze have accepted Israeli citizenship. According to the CIA World Factbook, as of 2010, "there are 41 Israeli settlements and civilian land use sites in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Syria may never return to being a unified region again
The Institute for the study of war has all of the details on the Syria situation.
The oil find is a layer 350 meters thick. The layer is ten times larger than the average oil find worldwide.

GRAPHIC PICS: Man impaled neck on bamboo pole after falling out of tree
THESE graphic images show the miraculous escape of a villager whose neck was impaled on a long bamboo pole after he fell out of a tree.
The unnamed man was reportedly climbing longan trees in order to pick their small and tasty fruit when he lost his balance and tumbled towards the ground, with the upright stick going straight through him.
The man's shocked family, from Yibin County, China, rushed him to the Second People's Hospital, where he received trauma treatment while he was still conscious.
"The patient was brought in with the 2-metre (6-foot) bamboo pole in his neck," a doctor at the hospital said.
"The stick entered the front-left side of the man's neck and came out behind his head on the right side, but it fortunately missed his major arteries."
Doctor Zhou said the thin pole travelled precisely between the patient's left and right common carotid arteries, which, if struck, could have led to "unthinkable consequences".
Reports said the villager's family requested he be transferred to a larger hospital in Sichuan's provincial capital Chengdu, and medics decided to shorten the pole, but ultimately leave it in his neck during the journey so as not to cause further injury by trying to pull it out.
Firefighters were asked to saw off both ends of the pole and the patient was driven to Chengdu in an ambulance with veteran nurse Huang Min - who has been a nurse for 27 years - kneeling down next to him the entire time, holding the bamboo to prevent it from moving.
The journey of almost 186 miles took more than three hours, but the patient was successfully transferred to the West China Hospital of Sichuan University, where he was rushed into surgery and later had the pole removed.
He is now recovering following the procedure.
